Featured Script – Alderona
ALDERONA: I desire free choice.
KLUDO: You mean, to be, human?
ALDERONA: …Yes.
KLUDO: Who is Thomas?
ALDERONA: Don’t read my mind!
KLUDO: Then tell me the truth!
ALDERONA: Thomas is a friend.
KLUDO: I don’t believe you.
ALDERONA: Kludo –
KLUDO: You have feelings for him.
ALDERONA: I don’t care!
KLUDO: You know what could happen.
ALDERONA: This is why I want my choice.
KLUDO: You have responsibilities. Gifts you’ve been endowed with, for a reason! Your supposed feelings, which aren’t to be trusted, are overriding your duty.
ALDERONA: My –
KLUDO: It should be understood.
ALDERONA: No!
KLUDO: You know the principles of what we abide by.
ALDERONA: It isn’t fair! I should have the right to decide.
KLUDO: You do –
ALDERONA: And I decide to oppose.
KLUDO: You know what happened to those that have opposed. We have been taught. Once you turn your back on your calling, there is no re- entry. Nothing can be done.
ALDERONA: What makes you think I would ever wish to return?
KLUDO: Because you are young and feeble minded.
ALDERONA: I am not!
KLUDO: You will be making a major mistake, for an idea that can’t be trusted.
ALDERONA: Isn’t it better to make a mistake, rather than never knowing what could have been?
KLUDO: Could have been? Rona, you are too young to actually imagine that some infantile romance with a human can ever rise to great love.
ALDERONA: You are wrong, Kludo!
Pause.
KLUDO: I once felt for someone, as you do now…
ALDERONA: …You have?
KLUDO: There was a woman. We fell in love, she captivated me, I would wake up and think of her, at night I would long for her. But, soon I realized that it wasn’t meant to be. I wouldn’t have been able to fully trust my heart with hers. This work, it’s bigger than us, it’s more important to serve others than ourselves.
I thought about you, our mother, father, and the four pillars of our heritage. I would have destroyed everything, our lineage, our history, and for what? For love? Is human love so important? Is it more important than the ultimate sacrifice?
I had to choose, Rona. It does not mean I have stopped loving her, but, she is happy. She will be married with someone who will love her, someone who will be there for her, more than I ever could.
Someone she will eventually grow old with, someone who could protect her and keep her from harm.
ALDERONA: I can’t stop thinking of, what could be, what a life could be like, with him.
KLUDO: Eventually, in time, you’ll outgrow this feeling. You’ll have greater things on your mind.
