Dear Rudiff
PRILLY T: Fuck off
MAN: Hey, what happened?
MAN: Hello, hello, hello, hello
PRILLY T: Yo! Fucking weirdo...
BARBARA: Prilly?
PRILLY T: Hey, Barbara
BARBARA: Wait, what are... Is it raining outside?
PRILLY T: Yeah, it's raining outside. That's why I'm soaked
BARBARA: Are you crying?
PRILLY T: No... I'm not crying
BARBARA: Well, why is your face wet?
PRILLY T: I just told you! It's raining...
BARBARA: Well, how did you get here?
PRILLY T: I walked here
BARBARA: Well, why didn't you take a cab?
PRILLY T: I just wasn't feeling a cab. Didn't want the whole human exchange... thing
BARBARA: Prilly, you know you don't have an appoint until spring
PRILLY T: I know I don't have an appointment until the spring. There's just a lot of shit that I need to speak. So can you listen?
BARBARA: Uh... I'm kind of swamped
PRILLY T: I insist. Can you do your job? For like once?
BARBARA: Okay...
PRILLY T: Thank you. I finally got a response back from Rudiff
BARBARA: Oh?
PRILLY T: He pretty much told me to go get lost
BARBARA: I'm sorry, how do you feel?
PRILLY T: It's like a fire inside of me Has suddenly turned to an ash
I'm trying to look on the brighter side of things
But all I feel is alone
How can a person that you idolized Not be the person that you thought?
There's so many twists and little turny roads
And I guess I just don't know where to cross
But I've seen the other side
And it's got me feeling down I figured, why should I end my life
When another me's crawling about?
I don't get it, and that's too bad I'm all thumbs now-not going back
What I'm feeling is not okay O' I'm suffering, and you're to blame
BARBARA: Okay, you need to calm down. You're being violent
PRILLY T: I'm not being violent! I'm just... excited I guess. 'Lotta feelings. 'Lotta prickly little feelings
BARBARA: Okay, can you describe me these feelings?
PRILLY T: It's kinda' like... like being inside an enormous wasp nest. And they're all like... really, really upset that I'm there
BARBARA: Well, have you been taking your medication?
PRILLY T: I stopped taking my medication
BARBARA: When?
PRILLY T: I don't know, like two weeks ago...
BARBARA: Prilly, you can't be off your medication
PRILLY T: I know, but it makes me feel all fucked up. And I'm already all fucked up, So it just kinda' like... double-fucks me
BARBARA: Prilly
PRILLY T: Barbara, I don't wanna' be double-fucked
O' this foundation inside of me
Just got the most miniscule crack! And all the tarry, gooey shit that surrounds
Is starting to ooze on in It's funny how this all worked out
I'm stunned I couldn't see All of its buried right under the ground that I stand on
And I never thought to dig...
PRILLY T: what's that box on the table?
BARBARA: It's nothing. Tell me more about this ground
PRILLY T: Whoa, whoa, hold on, hold on. Lemme' see that
BARBARA: I don't think that's a good idea
PRILLY T: Bitch, lemme' see it
BARBARA: Prilly, I...
PRILLY T: These are my letters...
BARBAR: I can... I can
PRILLY T: These are my letters to Rudiff...
BARBARA: There's- There's a perfectly logical
PRILLY T: How did you get these...?
I don't get it, and that's too bad
I'm all thumbs now-not going back What I'm feeling is not okay
O' I'm suffering, and you're to blame
PRILLY T: Okay, you got... You got ten seconds to explain yourself
BARBARA: Why don't we just
PRILLY T: No, don't- Don't look at the door. Don't look at the door. The door doesn't have the answers, bitch! Look at me. Look at me
BARBARA: Prilly, wh

PRILLY T: Answer me, you fucking whore! Why the fuck do you have my- Oh, you're gonna' cry? You're gonna cry? Ahuuhuuhuu Aaaahuhuhu, I'm crying too, bitch! I'm crying too, bitch
BARBARA: It was Rudiff
PRILLY T: Wh- Th-this was his idea- What are you two together? You're lying. You're lying! You're- you're a fucking liar! Ah
O' don't even try it, you're dead bitch! C'mere! What is that? Oh, a pencil sharpener
A brand new pencil sharpener! You know, lemme' borrow it so I can use it to fuck you up
Yeah, you like that? Aww, look at this! Look at this, you got some brand new holes
Some brand new holes to join the other ones! Who's in whose head now, bitch?
No, don't- don't- No, no, no! Don't die yet, don't die yet
I mean look around, we've got this great office With so many wonderful toys
Oh, lemme' just grab this stapler, So I can staple your fucking eyelids shut
Read my tells now, I dare you
And you're next, Rudiff
