Ester: enters the room
Ester: Screen emptied
Rolhand: enters the room
Rolhand: Is it to early to talk about it yet?
Ester: I- i dont know. Maybe. Dont know. ReallY...
(ESTER GETS UP AND SEARCHES HER BAG FOR SOMETHING
Rolhand: Please stay focussed.
Ester:: Hez - hez - wait. You cant- you cant just. This isnt easy. And you know that.
Ester:: (SHE KEEPS ON SEARCHING)
Rolhand: No, it's not easy at all, I realise that very well. That's why I want to get it over with, as soon as possible, without being inpolite.
Ester:: Okay. Allright. Go ahead. I dont mind. I dont mind at all.
(STOPS SEARCHING).
Rolhand: First question: is it yours? or is it mine?
Ester::
Ester:: It is mine. It has never been yours. Though you took it for granted.
Rolhand: Oh. You gave me a different idea. You always reacted very agressive when I tried to involve you in all of this.
Ester:: I am not surprised you see it this way. And I am not surprised that you deny the fact that it IS four-dimensional. That reallz does not surprise me.
(RESTARTS SEARCHING IN BAG)
Rolhand: I'm just glad you're not letting me do this alone. God knows, I have always wanted to do this together.
Rolhand: So, do we have to discuss all of the four dimensions?
Ester:: (STOPS SEARCHING)
Yes.
Sure.
Rolhand: Is there one dimension in particular you are interested in?
Ester:: Yes, there ara. Second and forth are my favorites.
Rolhand: Typical.
Ester:: Whatever. Okay. I insist on the second. If you like...you can choose one yourself.
Rolhand: If we have to discusse them all, I suggest we do it in a logical order.
Ester:: (ESTER CROSSES TO THE WINDOW AND LOOKS OUT. WITH HER BACK TO ROLHAND)
The beauty of the second dimension is clear. My years in second dimensions are probably the best i ever had.
Rolhand: Yes. Yes. I understand. Yes. OKay. You can say that. You can (he puts his face in his hands, is he crying?)
Ester:: Do you remember - do you you remember the day we moved from first to second dimension? It was a bright day. A little bit foggy ins the morning, and i said. Look: this is really two/dimensional. We can have now a little dog. Or maybe a little p-(SHE INTERRUPTS HERSELF, LOOKING OUT AGAIN.)
a little pig.
Ester:: THE TELEPHONE RINGS.
Dont - please. D- okay. Whatever.
Rolhand: Yes. I do. I remember. And I said, it gives a lot of dirt, a p.. it gives a lot of dirt, and that was the first time you l9ooked at me like that. Like you look at me right now.
Ester:: Yes. Because that was the day you started to have that harsh tone. "It gives a lot of dirt". I remember the sound of your voice when you said that.
Rolhand: I'm... I am... I... I'm I really am.
Ester:: (SHE ALMOST TURNS TO ROLHAND)
Yes?
Rolhand: I... I do.. I really... do, because I am, I am. Really.
Rolhand: Fuck
Ester:: (AFTER A LONG AND A LITTLE BIT CINEMATOGRAPHIC pAUSE)
do you think there is any way back?
PAUSE.
Huh?
Rolhand: There is for me no other way to think about it. But then again -
Rolhand: I mean, I think ... I think..
Rolhand: Please help me
Ester:: SOMEHOW BITTER BUT GLAMAROUS
I cant.
PAUSE.
It startet to snow again.
Rolhand: FUCK YOU WITH YOUR WEATHEREPORT!
Ester:: FUCK YOU WITH YOUR SELFPITYING WHINING. You were the one who wanted to move to third dimension. And now you have it. You cant handle it.
Rolhand: I can handle it very well, thank you! I suggest we experience the third dimension immediately! Right here! Right now! I'm not a coward! And look at me when I speak!!
Ester:: I liked your face better when it was two-dimensional.
PAUSE.
Sorry. I am sorry. I didnt mean it that way. Im sorry.
Rolhand: So it is true. You're afraid.
Ester:: How can you say that - how do you know...
Rolhand: Do you want me to help you?
Ester:: i - i miss the pig so much, but i think it couldnt stand it here. So it just went of to fourth dimension.
Rolhand: How can you miss a thing you never had?
Ester:: Would you move with me to fourth dimension? I mean - would you give it another try?
Rolhand: and skip the third?
Rolhand: PAUSE I would skip all the dimensions if you wanted me to.
Ester:: Skip the third. Leave everything behind. Just you and me. And the pig.
Rolhand: The... Aren't you afraid it will come between us?
Ester:: It will. It always did. It belongs to us. It is like our shadow.
Rolhand: If you want me.. and the pig... you'll have me... and the pig. If you want me to love the pig... I will love the pig, if you want me ... I will... if you want me to.
Rolhand: But if you want me to love the pig for the pigs sake... then we have a problem.
Ester:: ESTER:: THINKS ABOUT GETTING ANGRY AGAIN. BUT THEN SHE THINKS TO HERSELF THAT IS NO LIFE WITHOUT COMPROMISE. ROLHAND HAD NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY SHE WAS SO AGGRESSIVE ON THE SUBJECT OF THE PIG. THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING DEEP INSIDE HER THAT WAS CLOSER RELATED TO THE WORLD OF FARM ANIMLAS TAN HE HAD EVER BEEN AWARE OFF.
Rolhand: What are you thinking?
Ester:: aHHH nothing really just about...how silly i was. i never accepted the fact that really loved the pig more than i was ever capable to do. i dont know. i ...i wasnt fair.
Rolhand: ROLHAND STARES AT HER AND THINKS HOW HE ONCE CALLED THE PIG AN UGLY SCHWEIN WHEN SHE WASN'T IN THE ROOM, AND HE WONDERS WETHER HE SHOULD CONFESS THIS TO HER OR NOT. HE WONDERS IF IT WILL STAND BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM IHE KEEPS THIS SHEMFULL MEMORY TO HIMSELF
Rolhand: I can understand. There's something about a pig, that makes you just lovce them
Ester:: I know you loved the pig more than i ever did. I know that. That is what makes you so special. You are a tender man. Tender with pigs. You dont find that often. I couldnet accept it. I couldnt admit the fact, that i am a happy person.
Rolhand: Just hypothetical speaking: If the pig was dead... what would happen to your love for the pig? I mean... you should have to redirect this love, wouldn't you?
Ester:: ESTER:: TURNS TO THE WINDOW AGAIN. NOW ALL THE MEMORIES COME BACK TO HER. THE FIRST NIGHT WITH THE AT THAT TIME TWO-DIMENSIONAL PIG IN THE HOUSE. HOW ROLHAND TRIED TO BE RUDE TO THE SWINE, BUT IN FACT DID PLAY WITH IT SECRETLY ALL DAY LONG. HOW SHE GOT MORE AND MORE LOELY.
HOW THEY MOVED INTO THIRD DIMENSION, BECAUSE HE FOUND A NEW JOB. AND HOW SHE HAD HOPED THAT THE PIG WOULD NOT SURVIVE THE CHANGE OF CLIMATE.
Rolhand: So hypothetically speaking: we could kill the pig, and if we move forward, and there is no other way , we would arrive in the fourth and HYPOTHETICAL dimension
Ester:: SHE REMEMBERS HOW SHE TRIED TO GET BETWEEN ROLHAND AND THE PIG BY SAYING THAT HE WOULD NOT LOVE IT. WHICH WAS A CHEAP TRICK.
AND HOW SHE HAD TWO DAYS AGO KILLED THE PIG WITHOUT SAYING TO ROLHAND.
WHAT SHOULD SHE SAY KNOW AS ROLHAND MAKES HYPOTHETICAL PLANS TO KILL THE PIG WHICH IS ALREADY DEAD?
Rolhand: ... please react... is this hurting you?
Ester:: yeah...it ...i have to tell you something.
But it might hurt you.
Rolhand: oh
Ester:: I - this - uuhh - this is why i was so aggressive and rude in the last two days...
Rolhand: what? tell me. You know you can telle me everything.
Ester:: you have to be strong now.
Ester:: you have to be strong now.
Rolhand: I will be strong.
Ester:: The pig send me a letter this morning. It is not in fourth dimension. But in first. It says that it never liked you. It hated you. It only loved me. But it couldnt stand you.
PAUSE.
I didnt want to tell you. But thats how it is. It never loved you. Never. It was all fake.
Rolhand: Hypothetical?
Ester:: SHE TAKES THE FALSE LETTER OUT OF HER BAG AND HANDS IT TO ROLHAND. hE WILL NOT NOOTICE THAT IT IS A FAKE LETTER BECAUSE HE HAND NEVER SEEN THE PIGS HANDWRITING.
Its not hypothtical. Its real. Face it.
Rolhand: HE ACTUALLY GETS VERY ANGRY, THAT THIS PIG IS MAKING HIM REDICULOUS, BUT HCAN NOOT SHOW HER THAT HE HATES THE PIG ALSO, SO HE TURNS AROUND TO HIDE HIS ANGER, HE TRY'S TO SOUND SAD, HURT, AND HE WHISPERS:
we have to move on
Rolhand: In a way I am glad its all out in the open now.
Rolhand: No secrets anymore.
Ester:: SHE WHISPERS TOO
Yeah...we have to move on. No secrets anymore.
MUSIC. LIGHTS GROW DIM.
Rolhand: In the far distance we hypothetical hear the screaming of apig.
CURTAIN
Ester:: WACHTWOERD???
Rolhand: to print they need a'wachtwoord' wartewort' 'codeword'
