Audrey: I feel bad. It was nice seeing you there.

Philip: You looked really beautiful.

Audrey: Yeah, me too. I'm sorry I left and we didn't get to have fun.

Philip: I don't blame you for leaving. You don't have to apologize.

Philip: Besides, I'm glad I got to see you at all.

Audrey: I'm not experiencing it because of you. I'm experiencing it because I'm black and people are racist.

Philip: No, of course not. I get that. I just meant I'm sorry that people are doing it.

Audrey: It's not your fault, Philip. I experienced racism and shit before I knew you. Don't blame yourself.

Philip: I should be able to do something about that though. I should put a stop to it. You shouldn't be experiencing it because of me.

Audrey: I'm sorry. It's not fair that the country thinks they own you and your decisions.

Philip: Don't apologize. If anyone should be apologizing it's me for putting you into this mess.

Audrey: I thought at first that you meant you care about me more than the things people say and that was like, you know, a given.

Audrey: Obviously you know I care about you more than any of that stuff too right?

Audrey: But that's like your family and your life and your education and your duty.

Philip: I know that you do.

Philip: It is but that doesn't mean it matters more to me. It doesn't. It's my life but not by my choice. I don't know that anyone would pick this.

Audrey: Philip. That's crazy. You don't mean that. This is your whole life. You've only known me for like seven years.

Philip: I do mean it.

Philip: I don't care. It's an outdated life that has no place in modern society.

Audrey: What do you mean?

Philip: This whole thing. The royalty stuff.

Audrey: It's not your fault.

Audrey: Thank you.

Audrey: You're very sweet.

Philip: You know you mean more to me than all of this, right?

[philipwindscr]

Audrey: Well yeah. But we both know it is. I'm mostly used to it. I've got thick skin.

Audrey: Thank you. You didn't have to do that.

Audrey: I look forward to it.

Philip: You shouldn't have to, though.

Philip: I wanted to.

Philip: I'll bring your favorites.

Audrey: Hey it's not your fault. It's like an occupational hazard but it's just your life.

Audrey: But I left didn't I? And I'm upset. She won tonight.

Audrey: Yeah of course. You don't have to ask.

Philip: It shouldn't have to be.

Philip: She'll be escorted out and humiliated so she won't have won for very long.

Philip: I'll be there. I'll bring breakfast.

Audrey: I wish I wasn't.

Audrey: Yeah we know. We know you. It hurt to hear it anyway. I love you too. So does Nina. She was just trying to upset us and get us to go away, so I guess she won this one.

Audrey: Yeah I'm sure.

Philip: I am so sorry that I put you in a position to hear such abuse from someone. I've told security to keep a look out for her.

Philip: She won't win. People like that never do.

Philip: Can I come over in the morning?

Audrey: Don't worry about it too much.

Audrey: She implied that your being friends with me enhanced your standing in public opinion. And she said that before long, both Nina and I would be but a memory in your life.

Audrey: I'm okay, I promise. I got it all out of my system.

Philip: Are you serious?

Philip: Rae.

Philip: You guys know that's not true, right? I love you. I'm friends with you because I want to be. I don't give a shit about public opinion.

Philip: Are you sure?

Audrey: She was older. White, obviously. She had a big green hat with feathers, and a matching green dress.

Audrey: It was rather appalling. She accused you and your family of being racist.

Audrey: Yeah I'm sure. I don't want to take you away from your family and your friends. Everyone's so happy you're home. I'm with Nina. I'm good.

Philip: Green? I'll be on the look out.

Philip: What? Racist? What?? Against you?? What did she say??

Philip: I can leave right now. I don't care about being here. I want to be sure you're okay.

Audrey: I don't know. She said she knew you. I think she's a liar now that I've had a chance to breathe.

Audrey: Why would I lie to you?

Audrey: No no no I'm okay. You can't leave. Are you kidding? You have to stay, it's okay. I'm okay.

Philip: Do you remember what she looked like? Maybe I can have someone find her and, I don't know, I could warn her to not talk to you.

Philip: I don't think you're lying!

Philip: I just can't believe someone would do that.

Philip: Are you sure? Leo can cover for me.

Audrey: I just started feeling kinda sick.

Audrey: There was this woman and she was kind of nasty and yeah I just had to go.

Audrey: Sorry :/

Audrey: I'm okay.

Philip: What?

Philip: Who? What did she say?

Philip: Are you serious?

Philip: Do you want me to leave and come to you?
