I've been expecting you. I've got this new set of questions. [Estefano] Hello, Ciriaco. [Kirk] After we're done with this set, we can edit the material and proceed to the final part... [Estefano] Mhm... [Kirk] You don't seem enthusiastic. [Estefano] You noticed? Good. How can I be enthusiastic whatsoever about this matter? I though you were a professional. [Kirk] But I am. Haven't we reviewed all the questions together already? We can still change some, if you think that... [Estefano] There's no need to change any questions. [Pre-chorus] [Kirk] Why is the air so thick? Why is it? * Why is it? Why am I sweating? Why am I?... * Why is he?... [Chorus] A broken mirror reflects the wrong image. A broken record plays the song wrong. Two people yelling Cannot hear each other. [Vorspiel - 2 bars] [Verse 2] [Kirk] So... When you accepted the role of Achilles, did you take into account factors such as representation... [Estefano] No. I do not represent anyone nor anything. I am not part of that bandwagon of yours. [Kirk] My bandwagon?... [Estefano] Yes, bad emulation of Petronius. No decorum. No propriety. No shame. Petronius wrote to entertain. You write to facilitate the shame of Onan. [Kirk] Onan? [Estefano] Yes. Look at yourself. All dressed up. Fancy and exuberant. I'll help you out. Let's go to the restroom. You do your thing, you're satisifed and we part. Forever. [Kirk] What are you saying? [Estefano] That's what you want isn't it? [Kirk] No... You got me wrong. [Pre-chorus] [Estefano] I don't think so. People like you care not for literature, nay. They have no respect for what is written. Everything is a vehicle for your fantasies. Nothing is forbidden nor is anything off-limits. [Chorus] You have no respect for blood ties. You have no respect for real life. In your agenda, everything goes, As long as it satisfies your trow.

[Estefano] I have waited enough. We've been here two hours already. You still sing the same song. [Kirk] What's wrong, Estefano? [Estefano] Of course, you don't see it. That is what disappoints me, actually. Am I Achilles or Estefano? Do you know? No, you don't nor do you care, as long as the rig is big enough, right? [Kirk] You didn't like my book? [Estefano] It's not even good enough as toilet paper. Move now. [Kirk] Wait, Estefano... Don't go. [Pre-chorus] [Kirk] Why is the air so sad? Why is it? * Why is it? Why is he so mad? Why is he?... * Why is he?... [Chorus, choir] He thought he gave a piece of his soul, Yet his soul was not pure anymore. Even if they went into the dark, He'd regret it until the end of his life.
