Olive: Okay, pretend we're fairies. I'm a girl fairy and my name is ... La-ru...lee. And you're a boy fairy and your name is Teeteree.
Caden: Ok.
Olive: What's my name again?
Caden: La-ru-lee.
Olive: No. I said ... La-ru-la...ay.
Olive: Pretend we fight each other. And I say stop hitting me or I'll die. And you say okay, but you're fibbing. And you hit me again.
Caden: Okay.
Olive: Okay. Let's go. Hit me.
They pretend to hit each other. Olive makes hissing and roaring noises. She stops.
Olive: Okay. You have to stop hitting me now or I will die.
Caden: Okay.
He stops.
Olive: No! Pretend you're fibbing! Remember?
He mock hits her again. She falls.
Olive: Now I have to die. (BEAT) Pretend you say you don't want me to die.
Caden: I don't want you to die.
Olive: (compassionate whisper) But I have to.
Caden: But I'll miss you.
Olive: I have to. And you'll have to wait a million years to see me again. And I'll be put in a box. And all I'll need is a tiny glass of water. And lots of -- tiny pieces of pizza. And the box will have wings, like an airplane.
Caden: Where will it take you?
Olive: Home.
