in the play ending.
Everyone was just quiet.
That night,
Raymond was out late.
I had a headache for two days,
so I looked for some aspirin.
I couldn't find any.
The next morning,
I went to meet a journalist I knew.
- Martine.
- Oh. Hi, Elizabeth.
You looked like
you were somewhere else.
Yeah.
- How are you?
- I'm-- I'm pretty good.
It's good to see you.
God, how long has it been?
- What, like--
- Well, let me see.
I-- the last piece I did on you was
January-- two years ago.
As she spoke,
it occurred to me that
I had no idea who she was.
I had recognized her name
when she called,
but I couldn't remember
ever seeing her before.
Like last time,
- That's okay?
- That-- that's fine.
Okay.
Interview with Martine Jamison,
May 11th.
She wanted to know about the new play.
So it's-- it's a workshop, so-- so--
so things-- things change.
Everything is still trying to change.
It wouldn't surprise me if...
Um, same group that I--
same group that
I've worked with before,
plus Tyrone Devlin has joined us.
- I don't know him.
- Oh, he works a lot, I think.
He's-- he's really very good.
Um, very good.
You tell me.
You're deluded.
There's, um,
There's, um,
really interests me.
Some people write letters to the dead.
And when you write a letter
to someone who has died--
And when you write
a letter to someone who has died--
in Japan, they put it
and it drifts off.
So has the person
who's written the letter
spoken to the dead?
- I think maybe, you know--
- I mean, I'd say yes.
I mean, I'd say yes.
Their-- their minds,
through the letters,
en-- enter...
um, a world that's not living.
But the mind is alive if
and only if their writing is sincere.
And in this way--
and in this way,
that world-- the dead world--
is brought into life and it--
and so-- so it lives. Um...
I'm thinking of a new element.
- For the play?
- Yeah, for the play.
Do you know what
copper supplements are used for?
No, I don't.
Well,
copper is a--
it's present in the body.
It's an element.
You actually need it
for your body to function,
so people take copper supplements.
But if you take too much,
it-- it can--
If you take too much,
it can lead to schizophrenia.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, it's clinically been known
to lead to schizophrenia.
Yeah. Well, it's--
it's kind of a--
a specialized kind--
kind of knowledge.
I'm changing the names
of the characters in the play
to be the names of the actors--
the actual actors playing them.
I didn't want her to look at me anymore.
