Landon is a man trying to come to terms if he will ever be able to love again in this scene from 1 act scifi/drama play, Withering Hologram.
ZURI: Where have you been?
LANDON: A new village they’re building…it’s clean, it’s nice.
ZURI: You didn’t call.
LANDON: Was I supposed to…
ZURI: You didn’t have to, I mean you don’t have to, but…
LANDON: I didn’t realize.
ZURI: It’s fine.
LANDON: I didn’t know we were that serious.
ZURI: I said it’s fine. Call me when you want to call me.
LANDON: The work that I do is very demanding.
ZURI: So you’ve claimed.
LANDON: I’m not lying to you.
ZURI: Did I say you were lying?
LANDON: Why are you making me feel that I am?
ZURI: Look, maybe what I’ve been feeling has been…maybe you don’t feel the same.
LANDON: But I do feel the same.
ZURI: You do?
LANDON: Of course I do.
ZURI: …You don’t show it.
LANDON: What we have is really nice, can’t we leave it that way? Why does everything have to shift? As if there’s a better relationship than the one we already practice.
ZURI: Practice? I wasn’t aware of the fact that we were “practicing” a relationship.
LANDON: I used the wrong word. You know what I mean.
ZURI: Actually, I don’t. You come here for days on end, practically living here, we do everything together and then you’re off without a word, a call, nothing, like we don’t exist.
