GRADUALLY, OUR FLURRY OF EXPERIMENTS PETERED OUT. THERE WAS A LOT WE DIDN'T KNOW, BUT LIFE WENT ON. AND:
Markus: Hey, Emily, have you finished your experiments?
Emily: No.
Markus: Oh. Can I ask what they're in aid of?
Emily: No.
Markus: Oh...
Abe, offscreen: HEY FREAKO!
(A wadded up ball of paper bounces off Emily's head.)
Markus:

Emily (putting the paper in her bag): Piss off, Markus.
Markus: No, please, I... I have to tell you something...
Emily: I truly, sincerely, do not care.
Markus: No, listen - I want - I want to tell you how I -
Emily: No, you listen! How many times do I have to tell you to leave me alone!? I don't like you, I don't want to talk to you, stop harassing me. I am not interested. Get it?
Markus (taken aback): Oh.

Emily: Were you expecting me to?
Markus: No. I dunno. I just - -SIGH- So you want everyone to hate you? Fine. I'll just... leave you alone forever then.
Emily: Thank you!
