　　Fuck.
　　EVELYN ROCK
　　What’s wrong？
　　JOBU ROCK
　　I’ve been trapped like this for so long. Experiencing everything.
　　JOBU ROCK （CONT’D）
　　A part of me hoped you’d see Something I didn’t. That you would convince me there was another way.
　　EVELYN ROCK
　　What are you talking about？
　　A shadow falls over them-
　　
　　95 EMPRESS UNIVERSE: INT. TEMPLE
　　
　　Jobu and Evelyn stand before the Bagel together.
　　JOBU
　　You know why I actually built the bagel？ It wasn’t to destroy everything. It was to destroy myself. I wanted to see if I went in， would I die. Like actually die.
　　Evelyn stares ahead. Scared & unsure what this means. Jobu takes her hand.
　　JOBU （CONT’D）
　　At least this way I don’t have to do it alone.
　　Evelyn stares deep into the swirling black hole. It’s peaceful. Like a white noise machine. Her eye’s gloss over.
　　EVELYN
　　But what about the Raccoon， or the noodle， or my silly husband. What was his name again？
　　JOBU
　　You won’t have to worry about those things anymore.
　　Evelyn is unsure as they approach. The light pulls away from their faces. Evelyn’s eyes begin to turn black again.
　　But then they hear a faint sound. VOICES. It’s Waymond and Deirdre.
　　Evelyn turns， and through the swirling darkness， the image of Waymond trying to talk down a pissed off Deidre comes into focus.
　　EVELYN
　　There he is. 神經病 （crazy person）
　　My silly husband. Probably making things worseBut against all odds， Deirdre’s face softens. She takes
　　Waymond’s hand and gently pats it. Evelyn’s curiosity draws her back into the laundromat-
　　
　　96 TAXES UNIVERSE: INT. LAUNDROMAT
　　
　　Evelyn watches in shock as Waymond walks back to her.
　　WAYMOND
　　⼀切都會好起來的.
　　WAYMOND
　　Everything is going to be okay.
　　
　　96-1 She looks back to see: Jobu in front of the bagel.
　　JOBU
　　Evelyn…… ignore it. Come back.
　　Waymond reaches over and holds Evelyn’s face in his hands.
　　WAYMOND
　　她會再給我們最後⼀个礼拜.
　　WAYMOND
　　She’s going to give us another week for one last meeting.
　　One of the officers cuts her zip tie. Evelyn looks over at Deirdre pulling the lock off the door. Deirdre shakes her head equally shocked that she is letting her off.
　　EVELYN
　　How？ That’s impossible.
　　JOBU （O.S.）
　　It’s a statistical inevitability.
　　This is nothing special.
　　WAYMOND
　　I don’t know， I just talked to her.
　　Evelyn looks over at Deirdre as she gives Waymond one last knowing nod， before stepping outside with a cigarette.
　　EVELYN
　　就這樣？
　　EVELYN
　　That’s it？
　　Waymond shrugs and begins sweeping up the glass with a broom.
　　Evelyn hears a voice from another universe.
　　WAYMOND （CEO） VO
　　你覺得我很軟弱， 是嗎？
　　WAYMOND （CEO） VO
　　You think I’m weak don’t you？
　　As she gets up she suddenly has a lit ci “garette in her hand-
　　
　　97 MOVIE STAR UNIVERSE: EXT. MOVIE THEATER ALLEY
　　
　　Waymond takes one last drag from his cigarette， before leaving.
　　WAYMOND （CEO）
　　多年前我們剛談戀愛的時候， 你爸总是説我的⼼太軟.也許他当时是對的.
　　WAYMOND
　　When we first fell in love all of those years ago， your father would say I was too Sweet for my own good. Maybe he was right.
　　Evelyn sees through her cloud of cigarette smoke：
　　
　　97-1 ACTION UNIVERSE: INT. IRS 9TH FLOOR ATRIUM - Alpha Jumpers are still pointing their weapons at Evelyn. Waymond stumbles between them， holding his bloody wound.
　　WAYMOND （CONT’D）
　　Please! Can we just stop fighting!
　　Alpha Gong Gong shakes his head at these naive words.
　　
　　98 MOVIE STAR UNIVERSE: EXT. MOVIE THEATER ALLEY
　　
　　WAYMOND （CEO）
　　你說這是個很殘酷的世界， 我們⼀直都在裏⾯繞圈⼦.我懂， 我和你在這個地球上活了⼀樣久.
　　WAYMOND （CEO）
　　You tell me that it’s a cruel world and we’re all just running around in circles. I know that. I’ve been on this earth just as many days as you.
　　
　　99 ACTION UNIVERSE: INT. IRS 9TH FLOOR ATRIUM
　　
　　WAYMOND
　　I know you are all fighting because you are scared and confused.
　　Evelyn takes a small step back. The Alpha Jumpers begin to regain their positions.
　　WAYMOND （CONT’D）
　　I’m confused too. One moment I am here. The next moment I am there. I Still haven’t seen any raccoons.
　　All day， I don’t know what the heck is going on. But somehow it feels like this is my fault. I don’t
　　know. The only thing I do know is we have to be kind. Be kind.
　　Especially， when we don’t know what’s going on.
　　
　　100 TAXES UNIVERSE: INT. LAUNDROMAT
　　WAYMOND （CEO） VO
　　我總是看到事情好的⼀⾯， 不是因爲我天真， ⽽是需要和必要， 這就是我的⽣存之道.
　　WAYMOND （CEO） VO
　　When I choose to see the good Side of things， I’m not being naive. It is strategic and necessary. It’s how I’ve learned to survive through everything.
　　Waymond tries to cheer himself up by dancing and humming while he sweeps.
　　Evelyn sees the untouched Tupperware of cookies with a bow.
　　She looks down at the baseball bat she is holding. There are two googly eyes stuck to it. It’s smiling at her.
　　WAYMOND （CEO） （V.O.）
　　我理解你是被⽣活所迫， 但你不是個服輸的⼈.我⼜何嘗不是.只是我們選擇的處理⽅式不⼀樣.
　　WAYMOND （CEO） VO （CONT’D）
　　I know you go through life with your fists held tight.
　　You see yourself as a fighter. Well， I see myself as one too. This is how I fight.
　　
　　101 ACTION UNIVERSE: INT. IRS 9TH FLOOR ATRIUM
　　
　　Evelyn drops her fists. She doesn’t know what’s going on either. Wounded Alpha Jumpers surround her， weapons raised.
　　
　　101-1 TEMPLE UNIVERSE: Framed by the swirling Bagel， Jobu looks right at us.
