Plan 9

"Why are you doing this to me?" Derek asked.
"Because I like to. I like to find out what people are."
"It can't just be curiosity."
"It is."

"You're not going to tell anyone, are you?"
"People already know."
"People just can't keep their mouth shut, can they?"
"No, they can't."
"Why can't you just admit it to yourself?"
"It's just not that fucking easy. My mother took me under her wing her entire life and made me such a great student. She sacrificed everything for me, her social life, her dreams, etc, She could have been such a great leader.

She expected me to get married and to have a family and to have a very respectable career. I've ruined that. I didn't mean to but now I've ruined that. I have to hide it, at least for now, until a time arises when I will tell her."

"Maybe you should get out of the protection of your mother's wings."

"That's easy for you to say, so easy for you to say."

He paused: "What do you have against me?"

"Derek, I'm just trying to free you. You are like a bird in a cage."

"He's your boyfriend, isn't he? I knew it. He was going to ask me to help you but he couldn't?"

"It took you that long to figure that out."

"You are cruel Sarah. Cruel. You don't care about anyone."

"And you?"

"Sarah, why don't you talk about yourself?"
"What would you like to know?"
"Are you a lesbian?"
"You are funny."
