"Rational"

"Rational"

Trav and Alli are on a hike. Alli is visibly annoyed at Trav and Trav is clearly in his head.

Alli: It's nice out here?

Trav: What? Sorry. "I've been caught in the words" in my head. 

Alli: Anything you want to talk about?

Trav: Not really.

Alli: Look. "I've been walkin' for miles" and I'm ready to turn back. 

Trav: A little further.

Alli: "I've been walking in circles" with you. 

Trav: This isn't about the hike?

Alli: No, Trav. It's not about the hike. You don't get it. 

Trav: Why are you mad?

Alli: It's not that. "I don't want an escape" I just need to figure it out. 

Trav: I'm enjoying our hikes together. Honestly, "I just wanna be lost." 

Alli: Right. You just want to do the bare minimum, reap some intrinsic reward that's only important to you, and then what? How long do you want to do this?

Trav: See. It's "'cause you know me like that." You get me. I want to do it this way forever. 

Alli: I can't do this with you forever. You have to decide. 

Trav: "I can never decide if I wanna be any particular person." I can't decide if I want to take this relationship any further than where we are. 

Alli: Feel that? "There's a solemn breeze" and that's the feeling of it finally being over.

Trav: You're "whispering things that I don't wanna hear." This is working for me. For us.

Alli: "I disassociate until I'm separate from my body and" those aren't words I say for fun. I want to find "shelter in the words I never said." That I never say. This isn’t good.

Trav: Nah. Don't worry about it. We're going to be fine. 

Alli: What is it going to take for you to listen to the words I'm actually saying? 

Trav: I don't believe what you're saying. "Until I'm finally convinced that you hate me" and then maybe.

Alli: What? Why aren't you hearing me?

Trav: "Because I can't be rational."

Alli: I'm leaving. Hope you have a good life. 

Trav: You can't leave "until I'm finally convinced that I'm crazy" and "all because I can't be rational."

Alli: That's for you to figure out.
