The Unknown: Thought I better come into this conversation.
The Desire: Oh No, You can remove yourself from here right now.
The Soul: I think The Desire is right, off your pop.
The Messenger: Get away from me...
The Desire: You heard The Messenger.
The Desire: All the rules are out the window now, keep The Unknown here.
The Soul: Things are going to get weird in Act three. (To the Audience)
The Desire: Have your moment my friend.
The Soul: I think we're not supposed to know The Unknown is there.
The Desire: Are you content?
The Messenger: I'm going home now....
The Desire: You are home, you have always been at home, they have taken your home away from you. Your home is my home, this is not its home (He points to the Unknown). It has always been part of our home.
The Messenger: Teach me in our moments.
The Unknown: (Smiles)
