Ich und Du

Olivia: [Olivia trying different hats on Lorenzo, left by Countess Nunziante in storage] Let me see this one. You know, I was doing photography a while ago. And video art. I even had some exhibitions. I won an important award when I was 18. It's true. I went to Los Angeles.

Lorenzo: Yeah, right.

Olivia: I did. But then I got messed up with dope and I stopped. The pictured that you saw are part of a series called 'I am the Wall'.

Lorenzo: What wall?

Olivia: It's a metaphor. Basically it's me becoming that wall, and entering the wallpaper, the plaster.

Lorenzo: Like a lizard.

Olivia: No, not like a lizard. In fact, I wanted to dematerialise. Me and you, if we didn't have our own point of view, we'd be the same, right? Without a point of view, we'd stop fighting each other, and accept reality for what it is, without judging it. Like... do you know Buddhism?

Lorenzo: But your not a Buddhist.

Olivia: Aren't I?

Lorenzo: No, you're always angry.

Olivia: It's not easy being a Buddhist. Besides, it's drugs that made me nasty. Before, I could pass through walls.

Lorenzo: Yeah, right.

Olivia: It's true. Do you like this dress?

Lorenzo: It's beautiful.

Olivia: Do you want me to put on a different one? Countess Nunziante was my size.

Lorenzo: All right.

Olivia: Ok.
