"There's this TikTok trend going around." What an opener. "I dare you to find one thing that everyone can agree on." He let's the words sink in, counting to three in his head. "Lost. The answer is fucking Lost." He lets out a succinct huff of amusement. "Think about it. Every single fucker whose watched it has a theory on it, and not a single one makes fucking sense, but they all make sense — and every single fucker will agree to that."
Beat.
"You got fuckers saying aliens, reality TV, purgatory— that's fucked up, isn't it? Purgatory? You're telling me that every single fucker on that plane did something so fucking horrible that a layer of fucking Hell was the answer?" A shake of his head. "Turns out they're halfway right, though. Fuckers were in limbo." Lev gives a pointed look. "Don't fucking come for me. This is my fucking TedTalk."
"So all these fuckers are in limbo, right? They're in the inbetween, reliving their best and fucking worst day in and day out, slowly dying. But they aren't fucking dying. They're ascending." A nod. "Moving on. Going to the light. These people are out there learning their life lessons through a series of tests offered up to them throughout the events of the island. This isn't about survival, like they all fucking think. It's a race to the fucking finish line, and the best of them fucking go first. You notice that? Guess that makes Jack a real piece of shit. Anyway."
A sip of water, if only to stifle a ill-timed laugh.
"So these fuckers are on this island, getting chased by a fucking smoke monster, attacked by polar bears, fucking... traveling through fucking time and shit, and they're all forced to reckon with their life's fuckery. You ever do that?" He raises his eyebrows. "I sure as fuck do. More often than I'd like to fucking admit."
"Every fucking day for the past couple fucking years, I wonder to myself how the fuck I got this far. It's like a sick fucking party. Woohoo, I fucking lived to see another fucking day. Always wondered why the fuck I felt that way. You know? I got a job, got a couple fucking friends, eat my vegetables, try to do the right fucking thing — but I'm always fucking convinced my fucking time is up. I've made some mistakes, you know? Big ones. I cut that shit out, but it seems I'm still fucking here on this fucking island." Let that sink in. "I know, I know. That's fucked up."
"Thing is, we aren't in fucking limbo. We're in New York fucking City. We aren't going to fucking ascend and know peace tomorrow morning, nor are we going to get anywhere by calling out for fucking Walt the rest of our lives. You know what that means? It's fucking okay to own up to your bullshit, because tomorrow is another fucking day. So, I'll go first."
"My name is Lev Movska. I'm a fucking Charlie, Hugo rising. And I'm a piece of shit that has repeatedly hurt my best fucking friend. I'm real fucking sorry, man. Call me." Not another word. Lev exits, stage left.
