This is art.
JONATHAN
Are you listening? ARE YOU LISTENING?
5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Five seconds gone...
DALE
Five precious moments that you will never ever get back. Ever.
JONATHAN
We are slaving away in a false reality of telephone wires and internet connections, being told these things are important. Important? Deception.
We are alive and present right now. Right now.
Always trying to be somebody else’s idea of ‘perfect’. You are perfect, I am perfect. Everything is naturally perfect as it is. Yet, we are brainwashed. Every aspect of our lives is manipulated by something else. We don’t use our own minds.
And then we claim to be free? [Laughs]
That’s bondage!
Trapped in this fucking mess and you don't even realise.
This moment is yours,this moment is mine. This moment is beautiful. This moment is your reward! Stop waiting to die, stop waiting for some ‘eternal life’ in a paradise you have no proof of even existing. Faith alone is not enough.
JACK
Not enough when you are alive right now!
DALE
This is Art.
JACK
THIS IS ART.
JONATHAN
This, is art.
JACK
We think we have a choice in life…the only choice is too see reality for what it actually is – fleeting…Every fucking moment!
JONATHAN
Every fucking moment! - IT COUNTS!
Do something with it...
JACK
Make it count! Make it beautiful!
JONOTHAN
Or, you could just...
JACK
Go to work, pay tax, follow fashion, buy shit you don’t need cause you're told to.
JONATHAN
You could vote for a leader and fail to see you are you own fucking leader. Don’t follow your dreams and stay in fear. Continue being a worthless puppet living a life in bondage.
Or, you could just wake up?
WAKE UP.
Wake up and realize that you have the final authority.
The only choice worth making is to see reality for what it actually is.
[Pause] Don't be a slave. Be free.
DALE
I'm done!

This is the first draft of a script I wrote. The setting with just be them in a dark room with a camera. Very intimate. The camera will act as the audience, being hit with this speech. Excited about this and think it may turn out to be my final outcome for this project.
