Preview - You can survive as long as you can find yourself.

<JK and SH get into an argument over something trivial. They walk off wondering around for hours alone singing to themselves in sadness to Katnip's Stupid as You and Gimme that.>

JK: Thought you really loved me, guess I was wrong. Thought you'd never leave me, guess I was dumb.  SH: Why you wanna runaway? Why you gotta be afraid? I wish I could make you stay. 'Cause baby you know.

JK: Waited like forever, to be my first one. But I guess, you are done. SH: Why you tryin' a break us up. When I'm tryin 'a build it up? I wish I could make you stop. 'Cause baby you know.

JK: Left me at the party, out of the blue. Saying that you're sorry, won't heal no wound. SH: Guess I'm gonna dance alone tonight, I'm gonna miss you hard. You know I could never get it right, without you,

JK: Now I'm broken-hearted, all 'cause of you. And it's sad, but it's true. SH: I don't wanna step into the light, if I don't get you. You bring out the sweetness of my life,

JK: If you could rewind, do it again. I wonder, would you hurt me just like you did? SH: I move to the left, why you move to the right. Why you tryina fight,

JK: Or would you fast-forward to the end, I wonder. So you wouldn't have to face what you did?SH: First, you wanna come around. Then you say you're leaving town

JK: You're a stupid boy, treating hearts like toys. But I'm just as stupid as you. For believing lies, for my clueless mind. But I didn't know what you'd do. How could I known it? I'm not a psychic. The only psycho here is you. SH: Everything is upside down. Why you gonna leave when I need you the most? Wherever you go I'll be there you know

JK: When we started faking, I was surprised. Felt so elevating, too easy at times. When our ship was out and reality strikes. It was all, just a lie. SH: Don't be a stranger, don't be a ghost. 'Cause baby, missing you hard, you know.

JK: Don't you have a conscience; don't you feel bad? Acting like a monster, don't it feel sad? All I want is closure but I'll have to manage without. How 'bout that? SH: I don't feel right when I dance alone. I don't feel right when you don't come home. Missing you hard tonight. Cause baby you know.

JK: <in tears sobbing>  SH: Come on and gimme that, gimme that, gimme that, Good good goodness. Come and show me that, show me that, show me that. You're the one

<Night falls, and they hear animals howling, brushes rustling and unusual sounds sending them off running looking for each other, until they both slipped down a ravine lying unconsciously. As day break, they slowly wake up in a locked cell with two beds.>

SH: What happen, did we get transported again? JK: I don't know. I don't think so. Shouldn't we be back home? SH: Maybe we haven't finished our mission? JK: <shrugs, checks his phone, still no connection> Looks like we have been kidnapped. SH: Katnip? Like cat food? JK: No, but she's a singer.

JK: But like before it got dark, I did find some Katniss. SH: Cat food? JK: No, Katniss, like in the Hunger game. SH: I'm not hungry. JK: The book. SH: Oh the movie. The one that f* peeta instead of liam, f*, game over. Why she gotta be like that? That ho, ruining the ho story. That b* is blind.

JK: You have a thing for Thor's little bro? SH: Maybe I have a thing for Aussies. JK: I'm Aussie. SH: Really, where's your accent? JK: I lost it, it's been several years now. But I grew up in Brisbane. SH: Britney, like Spears? JK: No, Brisbane. How could you like Aussies, and not know Brisbane. SH: Lucky, I guess. JK: How so?

SH: So why didn't she and liam hook up? JK: Something about losing his humanity? SH: What's that? I blame ho. JK: She has a name. SH: Not in my book. JK: Ho it is.

SH: So what about katnip? JK: You can't say her name can you. SH: Ok, I walked out of the movie, I was so mad. JK: So, katniss is an edible root plant found underwater. In the first book, Katniss' father tells her "You can survive as long as you can find yourself. He was talking about the plant, but the deeper meaning is that once she finds herself, she can defeat the Capitol and survive.

SH: So who are we trying to defeat? JK: I don't know? The government, capitalism, NK, terrorist, climate deniers, anti-vaxxer, hunger, virus? SH: Hos? JK: Bros before Hos. SH: Double that. 

JK: Do you hate girls? SH: What are you talking about. I love girls, especially, my little sis. She's precious. But she's not allowed to date. JK: Wait, what? How old is she? SH: She's five years younger. Don't get any ideas. JK: Like what? SH: Like f* her without my permission. JK: WTF. And she has rights, she doesn't need your permission. She's an adult. SH: Doesn't mean I can't kick her boyfriend's butt. JK: Why are you so violent? SH: It's a metaphor. JK: No it isn't. SH: You're too literal JK. JK: Not really. I'm pretty flexible. SH: I'll give you that.

SH: So what now? JK: Now we wait to see what happens next. SH: That's it. Just wait? JK: Why, what do you have in mind? SH: I don't know, two hot guys in a single room with nothing to do? JK: You're seriously thinking about your p* at a time like this? SH: Why? Scared? You know, if I'm gonna die, I want to die happy, iykwim? JK: I'm afraid ikwym. 

JK: Do you think that's what they want us to do here? Do you think there are cameras and they are monitoring us right now? Waiting for us to make out? SH: If not, then shouldn't we be in different cells? JK: You have a point there? I guess? No, wait, the economy of scales like in prison, they have room for doubles or fouries. 

SH: You're right, like with idols. JK: Don't they make out? SH: I don't know, I've never been an idol. JK: Hee was telling me they keep it an urban legend, but it's true. SH: Don't prisoners make out? JK: I wouldn't know, I've never been a criminal? SH: Convicted criminal. JK: Ok, I'll give you that. SH: Wait, you have? JK: That's personal. SH: <stares at him> Peeing in the pool when you were 5, is not a crime, JK.  JK: Nevermind.

SH: Why isn't there anything to do? JK: Shouldn't they be feeding us soon? I'm getting hungry. I can't think without food. SH: Why do you look like a piece of steak? JK: It's one of the different stages of hunger. You can survive for 8 to 21 days without food and water. Maybe we're supposed to fast and cleanse ourselves of impurities and nourish our souls? SH: Sounds painful. JK: <looks at SH thinking about his beauty regimen> Really?

SH: Love or friendship? JK: But actually, isn't friendship and love the same?

SH: Does love change? JK: Isn't it a promise until we die? SH: Really? Is that a scorpion thing? JK: Isn't the last love the important one? Since it lasts the longest. SH: What are you saying? JK: Nothing. <bites his lips and looks away>

<Why don't I recognize you, but I trust my heart.>
