Scene 43

(Open scene at Disneyland with Jax and Marley; Marley has on a pair of Mickey Mouse ears and a Disney balloon)

Marley: I have always wanted to go to a Disney park, Jax.

Jax: Haven't you lived in every single place where a Disney park is located? Japan, Florida, California-

Marley: France, Hong Kong, and Hawaii. Yes, Jax. I have lived by every Disney resort.

Jax: Then why not go?

Marley: Because my father, Steven Wright Maxwell, that I was too old to go to Disneyland, I should just focus on astrophysics and advanced mathematics instead of silly childhood obsessions. 

Jax: When did he start telling you this?

Marley: July 14th, 2009.

Jax: ...you were seven.

Marley: Yes, I was. 

Jax: You don't need to worry about him out here. I've got you.

Marley: Got me?

Jax: Like, watch over you.

Marley: I am fully capable of taking care of myself, Jax.

Jax: Oh, so you are saying that you don't need me?

Marley: Well, you are not as important as water or air, if that is what you were asking.

Jax: but you can't navigate the food court.

Marley: Compelling argument. So, I guess I do need you then.

Jax: That's what I thought. *smirks*

Marley: Ooh, I've heard many things about a bugs land. Can we go that way first?

Jax: Bugs?

Marley: Yes. Is something wrong, Jax?

Jax: Well, I really don't like those creepy crawlers.

Marley: Well then I'll make sure to hold your hand. I notice that you do that when I am scared. So, I will help make you become...un-scared.

Jax: Okay, Marley.

Marley: *reaches out and grabs Jax's hand* To a bug's land, it is. 

(Exit Marley and Jax)

(Change scene to the Disneyland food court)

(Enter Jax and Marley)

Jax: Wait here. I'll go get us some food. So what do you want with your diet Pepsi?

Marley: *sits down at the table* A hot dog would be perfect.

Jax: Ketchup and mustard.

Marley: Yes, please.

(Exit Jax)

(Marley notices a mother trying to move her child over to her other side that is away from him)

Marley: *ignores her; pulls out their phone and starts to play a Super Mario game*

(Another woman approaches Marley)

Tania: You know that what you are doing is against God, right?

Marley: *looks up confused* Mario is against God? 

Tania: No! The thing that you and your friend are doing.

Marley: I'm sorry, Ma'am. I do not think that I understand what you mean by that.

Tania: Being gay is a sin! You will burn in hell for it!

Marley: Burn for being gay? Well, you see, I am actually pansexual. You must be mistaken.

Tania: That is still gay! Haven't you read the Bible?! "No man shall lay in bed with another man"!

Marley: So, you are telling me that of two men just lay beside each other, that is a sin? What about sleepovers?

 Tania: Ugh, that's not what I mean. You and you're ..."lover" are going against God!

Marley: Ooh, I think I understand now. Not to worry though. I am also asexual.

(Jax enters)

Tania: You're still gonna burn in hell! 

Jax: Excuse me, but we are as aloud to be here as you are. Please leave me and my partner alone.

Tania: This is unnatural. Think about the children. Are you really going to bring your sin into a place for children to see?

Jax: Well, I see that you're ignorance and arrogance was allowed through the gates, so I think that it is moral to bring our love.

Tania: That is not love! Love can only be between a man and a woman. 

Jax: You really have a medieval state of mind, don't you? This is the 21st century, Lady.

Tania: and hell still accepts fags like you.

Jax: Then, I guess I will see you down there with me.

Tania: I am a woman of the Lord. How dare you say those things to me!

(Enter David and Justin)

David: Mom! Can we go now?!

Justin: We're wasting soooo much tiiiime!!!!

Marley: Ma'am, are these your kids?

 Tania: Obviously.

Marley: Are they twins?

Tania: Are you retarded or something? They are different ages. They are not twins.

Marley: That is surprising.

Tania: Why do you say that? They look so different.

Marley: I just didn't think a man would be dumb enough to sleep with you twice.

Tania: Ugh! Why I never! David, Justin, let's go! *takes her kids by the wrists and storms off*

(Exit Tania, David, and Justin)

Jax: I can't believe the nerve that some people have.

Marley: She didn't seem too nice.

Jax: Nice? Marl, She was a homophobe.

Marley: I know.

Jax: I just don't understand how someone could hate something that they don't understand.

Marley: The world is basically built off of it, Jax. It is a sad world.

Jax: Yeah.

Marley: Are we really going to let a person like that ruin the most magical place on earth?

Jax: Not a chance.

Marley: Then, let's eat and get moving.

Jax: Agreed.
