Now she's looking at him. Tearful and upset but holding it 

together. 

 

Elena 

Tell me, and for God's sake don't lie to me, Kimon, because 

I'll know, are you taking your medication? 

Kimon looks at her. She swallows and in a hoarse voice answers 

Kimon 

Yes, yes I take them every day. 

Elena 

Bullshit! 

Helena shouts and pushes him. She sits on the couch. She hides 
her face with her hands and sobs with tears. Now she can't 
contain herself.  

Elena  

 ''I'm sorry little brother, I'm sorry I love you, but I can't 

do it anymore. I can't have you relapse. Again! I can't take 

it. I take care of you, I care about you, I pay your 

therapist, and all I want in return is my brother back. 

Nothing else. But this... 

And it shows Kimon and the house behind him with the fallen 
comic books,the sand, the crowbars, tape and the karate vhs 
films 

Elena 

...that's not my brother. And I can't take it anymore. I want 

you in my life. But you have to come alone I understand that 

now... You have to come. I won’t force you to be better. I 

can’t force you… 

 

Kimon is now staring into space. A tear slowly falls down his 
cheek. He wipes it away in a hurry though and turns back to 
his sister clearly full of irritation. 

Kimon 

I wanted to be normal Elena. I tried to be normal Elena. But 

if people don't see you as normal, then you'll never be 

normal. Even you. You say you want me in your life, but you 

won't let me come home. You don’t even let me speak to the 
twins. You come and see me here like I'm a leper, like I'm 

sick.
