Jacob: But you do, it would be beneficial to hear. Josh: Anything that comes out of your mouth is vile and garbage! Jacob: Everything? Including your way back to reality? Josh: Reality? Jacob: You think this was reality, the way one era formed into another? Think about it, you saw ME, as the king of your world. Your mom's too. I was Caesar. Ruler of the known world. Or in this case, all your knowing mind. And I can kill you. Josh: Than all of this, ever since I last talked to Bobby, is a lie? Part of my imagination only? Jacob: Almost. You can't get physically hurt in this world, but you didn't hear Bobby did you? Think of what Rita tri

(Enter Mom with black clothes, single light on her) Mom: I see darts, who holds them, Josh? Josh: Mom, no Mom. (Drops darts and runs towards mom, Light follows. stops short and mimes being behind glasses.) Mom: Josh, what happened? Why do I feel so cold? Jacob: (Floats from Josh's light to Mom's light.) You were so weak Josh, you couldn't protect your mom. (Hug's Mom) Mom: Jacob, what's going on? Am I dead? Everything's so fuzzy. Jacob: Hush my dear let me hold you safe. Your son left you for the dead. Mom: (pulling out of grasp) My son? Josh? He wouldn't. Josh: (Trying to get out of cage) I didn't mom, I didn't. That man killed you,

Jacob: We were playing Darts. Josh: (louder) No. Jacob: O yes, remember? You had gotten in the way. You became the target and O how fun that was. You moved so much. (Jacob drops a dart by Josh) Remember? Josh: You threw it at me, breaking things… hurting me. Jacob: Quite exhilarating. (Dropping another Dart into the light) Josh: Did you even realize what you did to your own son, Dad? Jacob: I have no son, you just an exception, a mistake. (Drops a third dart) Josh: (face distorted, stressed, and close to crying) Did-did she … she…mean? Any… Thing? O-or was that… a lie? Too? (Silence) Answer me you venomous 

Bobby: The poor thing, (kneeling beside Rita) hmm, not much I can do for her. (Muttering) So it does affect the brain particles, I'm sorry sir, but there is virtually nothing I can do. Josh: Nothing you can do? Bobby: Nothing. Now sir, I'm sorry to say, but I have to go, there is a war waiting for my expertise and a weapon I have to fix. If you don't mind, I'll just take this young girl and… see… what I can do for her. (Bobby picks up the rifle and starts dragging the twitching Rita off stage) Josh: "See?" You're the one who got me into this mess. Leave Rita alone. (Josh goes to swing punch at Bobby, Bobby fires gun, Josh flie

Josh: What was that? ALEX? Bobby: That was a mine I set around the house so the A.I. would warn me if they came so close. Josh: Mines!? Rita: A.I.? Bobby: Artificial Intelligence, weren't you paying attention? Josh: ALEX! Bobby: What? Josh: Do something about it! Bobby: And what would you have me do? Josh: You're the one with the Rifle. Bobby:  But It's never been tested! Josh:  What do you mean it's never been tested? Bobby: How am I supposed to test it around our own military without shooting our own guys? Besides an inventor doesn't test his– Rita: Oh will the two of you shut up! Alex, give me that thing. (Rita goes over

Bobby: Don't you know? Where have you been the last few years? Josh: No Bobby, I don't know. I don't know of anything no more. Bobby : Artificial Intelligence has finally enough knowledge to understand probability and that human thinking is too irrational. And I'm not Bobby. I'm Alex. Josh: So it is – Bobby: Trying to take us over. But we have an advantage. See this rifle? (points rifle at Josh and Rita, who ducks) Rita: AhhHH Josh: Watch where you point that thing! Bobby: Oh don't worry it can't hurt humans. Josh: Either way. Bobby: As I was saying, this "rifle" will distorts the electrons in metal, particularly wires, and will

Rita: Nothing happened Josh. Tell me about Cleo and Caesar. To help get your mind off things.(goes to comfort Josh) Josh: Wel-well I found them dancing. They were so in tune and lovely, perfect like. You could see the love pouring out from one another for each other, and then they were so different. Julius this unbelieving idiot who did anything for everything he wants. And she just put it up with it. It was like watching my parents, before the incident. Jacob wanted to disown me, to just get rid of me. Because I wasn't good enough in that bloody man's eyes. Mom was the only one who loved me. Rita: Josh. I– Josh: Then things went down

Rita: (Bowing) My Lord, there's trouble in Rome. Your General came back barely alive. You must come quickly. Mom: (worriedly) Julius. Jacob: By the gods… (Everyone freezes but Josh, who goes over and takes Rita's hand, Rita then is able to move.) Rita: Love of my life, you came to rescue me. (Julius Caesar and Cleopatra slowly exit stage) Josh: I thought you would never say that. The last time I saw you, you threw a pineapple to my head, saying you never wanted to see me again. Why the sudden change? What happened? Rita: I've always loved you, how could I not? You're smart and handsome. And I can't remember anything but you. You

Josh:  I – Jacob: He is a devil and must be burned. Mom: What strange clothing, like nothing I've ever seen. The man is not from Egypt or Rome, or from anywhere in this world. Who are you? Josh: I-I'm Joshua Petter – Jacob:  Joshua? Your Hebrew? An assassinator for sure. Mom: Julius, he looks too frightened to be an assassin. Joshua looks as if he's seen a ghost. It is strange though, I feel like I've met him before, as if I've always known him. Jacob: Witch craft. He's luring the both of us into a trap. (Draws sword) Josh: Hey! Look, I'm not the man you think I am. I-I'm not a killer nor am I from around here. Listen, I'm fr
