[u.1:0.1] Can I see what you got there?<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.1:0.2] Yer cannon...can I see it?<br/>
[beat]<br/>
[u.2:0.1] I know you?<br/>
[beat]<br/>
[u.1:0.3] Not that I can say.<br/>
[u.2:0.2] And you wanna hold my piece?<br/>
[beat]<br/>
[u.1:0.4] Just that I never...seen one like it.<br/>
[beat]<br/>
[u.2:0.3] No, you haven't.<br/>
[u.1:0.5] Looks dangerous.<br/>
[u.2:0.4] Seems, maybe, that's the point.<br/>
[u.1:0.6] Suppose so.<br/>
[u.1:0.7] Can I see it?<br/>
[u.2:0.5] Not likely.<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.1:0.8] Where'd...where'd you find it?<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.1:0.9] You hearin' me?<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.3:0.1] He asked you question.<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.2:0.6] Didn't find it. Made it.<br/>
[u.1:1.0] Heh. Helluva touch you got then. You a 'smith?<br/>
[u.2:0.7] I look like a 'smith?<br/>
[u.1:1.1] Looks can be deceiving.<br/>
[u.2:0.8] Got that right.<br/>
[u.1:1.2] There a problem?<br/>
[u.2:0.9] Doesn't need to be.<br/>
[u.1:1.3] Glad we got that cleared up...Now, about that piece.<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.2:1.0] Been to Luna?<br/>
[u.1:1.4] Excuse me?<br/>
[u.2:1.1] The Moon. You been?<br/>
[u.1:1.5] Nobody's been.<br/>
[u.2:1.2] That a truth?<br/>
[u.1:1.6] That's a fact.<br/>
[u.2:1.3] Funny you'd make that distinction.<br/>
[u.1:1.7] Truth is you must think you're some kinda something special. With that attitude. The way you're just dismissin' us like you we're nothing...like we ain't even here.<br/>
[u.1:1.8] Fact is...You ain't near as rock solid as you figure. Fact is, special's only special 'til it's not.<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.2:1.4] The bones say otherwise.<br/>
[u.1:1.9] Speak straight.<br/>
[u.2:1.5] You say "nobody." Bones say otherwise.<br/>
[u.1:2.0] What bones?<br/>
[u.2:1.6] All of them.<br/>
[u.1:2.1] What're you gettin' at?<br/>
[u.2:1.7] Too many to count.<br/>
[u.1:2.2] You trying to get a rile outta us? Was only making conversation.<br/>
[u.2:1.8] You really weren't.<br/>
[u.4:0.1] We got a smart one here.<br/>
[u.2:1.9] Experienced more than smart. But experience has its advantages.<br/>
[u.1:2.3] Experience tell you to lip off to strangers just tryin' to make talk?<br/>
[u.2:2.0] Keep insisting and maybe we will.<br/>
[u.1:2.4] Talk?<br/>
[u.2:2.1] Have words.<br/>
[u.1:2.5] Ain't that what we're doin'?<br/>
[u.2:2.2] My conversations tend to be a bit louder.<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.1:2.6] That a threat.<br/>
[u.2:2.3] A truth.<br/>
[u.1:2.7] Who the hell you think you are?<br/>
[u.2:2.4] According to your facts, "nobody." Yet, here I sit.<br/>
[u.1:2.8] Don't matter much how pretty yer cannon is. You keep it up, we'll see just how loud you like to get.<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.1:2.9] You done talkin' now? Guess he knows his place, boys.<br/>
[u.2:2.5] Ever have a nightmare?<br/>
[u.1:3.0] You playin' games? Or just thick?<br/>
[u.2:2.6] I know you have. This world? Can't help, but.<br/>
[u.1:3.1] I don't have nightmares. I give 'em.<br/>
[u.2:2.7] You are a goddamn cliché. The picture perfect bandit.<br/>
[u.2:2.8] Hearing your voice - the things you're saying, the shade of the hard man you pretend to be...<br/>
[u.1:3.2] Ain't no shade.<br/>
[audible crack]<br/>
[audible crack]<br/>
[audible crack]<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.2:2.8] Sit down.<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.2:3.0] Sit. Down.<br/>
[u.2:3.1] Your mouth just got your friends dead.<br/>
[u.2:3.2] This is what happens when you bore me. And right now...<br/>
[u.2:3.3] I'm so very bored.<br/>
[u.1:3.3] Wha...No listen...<br/>
[u.2:3.4] Shhhhh.<br/>
[u.1:3.4] But...but...you're a...you're one of them...A Guardian, right?<br/>
[u.1:3.5] You're supposed t'be one'a the good ones.<br/>
[u.2:3.5] "Supposed to be?" Maybe I am. Maybe this is what "good" looks like.<br/>
[u.2:3.6] Anymore, who can tell?<br/>
[u.1:3.6] I...<br/>
[u.2:3.7] You wanted to see my prize.<br/>
[u.1:3.7] No...I...<br/>
[u.2:3.8] Look at it.<br/>
[u.1:3.8] I...<br/>
[audible sobbing]<br/>
[u.2:3.9] Whimpering won't stop what comes next.<br/>
[u.2:4.0] Look...<br/>
[audible sobbing]<br/>
[u.2:4.1] Look at it.<br/>
[u.2:4.2] Open your eyes.<br/>
[audible sobbing]<br/>
[u.2:4.3] Not many get such a clean view.<br/>
[u.2:4.4] The bone...You see it. Jagged, like thorns.<br/>
[u.2:4.5] I used to think of it as a rose...<br/>
[u.2:4.6] Focusing on its bloom.<br/>
[u.2:4.7] But the bloom is just a byproduct of its anger.<br/>
[silence]<br/>
[u.2:4.8] You have nightmares?<br/>
[audible sobbing]<br/>
[u.2:4.9] Ever seen a nightmare? Ever opened your eyes and realized the horror wasn't a dream? The terror wasn't gone?<br/>
[u.2:5.0] I've seen nightmares.<br/>
[u.2:5.1] They live in the shadows.<br/>
[u.2:5.2] They've been watching.<br/>
[u.2:5.3] I thought...It's foolish, I know...but I thought I saw a way.<br/>
[u.2:5.4] That maybe we could win. Maybe we could survive.<br/>
[u.2:5.5] But once you step into those shadows, it's so very hard to walk in the Light.<br/>
[u.2:5.6] Or...maybe I just wasn't strong enough.<br/>
[u.2:5.7] Maybe.<br/>
[u.2:5.8] But I feel strong now.<br/>
[audible sobbing]<br/>
[u.2:5.9] I stole the dark.<br/>
[u.2:6.0] Or, maybe it stole me.<br/>
[u.2:6.1] Either way, here we are.<br/>
[u.2:6.2] And I'm hungry.<br/>
[u.2:6.3] Its hungry.<br/>
[u.2:6.4] You have no Light beyond the spark of your pathetic life.<br/>
