Rubicon
Ed:
What did Daniel tell you about me?
Will:
You were among the brightest in a building full of bright people. Trusted. Keys to the kingdom... Ed, can I come in?
Ed:
Sure.
[Ed double-bolts the door.]
Ed:
Keys to the kingdom. And then...
Will:
You got confused. Things unraveled.
Ed:
Daniel never would’ve said that. Someone else spoke those words. You believe everything you hear? Not as advertised. Not at all. You were supposed to be sharp. That’s what he told me. Things didn’t unravel, Will. I started comprehending.
Will:
Comprehending what?
[Ed unlocks the door.]
Ed:
A month or two, a year or two. Time’s a whore. As for whom I was playing, who do any of us ever contend with?
Will:
What were you comprehending, Ed?
Ed:
The work we do: genesis, progress, judgement. Who is it used by?
Will:
Our employers.
Ed:
You do know they hide in plain view, don’t you?
Will:
Who’s “they?”
Ed:
They? They’s them! What’s the matter with you?
