Chapter Text
I…Try to SAY GOODBYE and I CHOKE…
ELENA, pressing her case:
"It’s no good; I cannot do it…you said that it is over, and I’m telling you now-what you ask of me
is not possible...I CAN'T, and WON'T. So find a way"
MACK tries to reason with her:
“Elena; with my mind on you-ALL THE TIME-And how best to keep you safe…I can’t do this job, and
that one. Someone is gonna get hurt, or something critical not addressed, and THAT SHIT will be on me."
I try to WALK AWAY and I STUMBLE
ELENA, standing firm:
"Entiendame esta cosa…no acepto que me despidas. Yo NO TE DESPIDO, So busca OTRA MANERA.
(Understand this-I don’t accept you ‘firing me’(as your Woman)…YOU are not fired by ME, so look
for ANOTHER WAY) I told you. I want to be with you FOREVER…” she ‘flips’ her left hand in a dismissive
manner. “This doesn’t look like forever to me.”
I PLAY IT OF, but I’m DREAMING OF YOU
I’ll KEEP MY COOL, but I’m FIENDIN’
I…Try to SAY GOODBYE and I CHOKE…
I try to WALK AWAY and I STUMBLE
Though I TRY TO HIDE IT, IT’S CLEAR
My world CRUMBLES when you are NOT NEAR
“I don’t either…not really…you’re as miserable as I AM, then.”
“MAS” (more)
“There’s a way, then. I’ll figure it out.”
“I have an idea; it’s very simple: say the words, ‘Elena, please help me’…try it.”
“Elena, please help me.”
“Vez? (you see) Very easy peezy. Ay, you MEN!”
“I’m crazy mad in love with you. It seems that I’ve always been.”
“Well, let’s see: I’m a KNOCK-OUT, and BRILLIANT, AND ALWAYS HAVE YOUR BACK, EXCELLENT<br />
IN THE BEDROOM, FANTASTIC COOK, YOUR MOTHER LOVES ME…”</p>
“OK…I get it. Who wouldn’t be. That Agent Keller took notice when we slept apart those few nights.”</p>
She slinks toward him, her smile victorious. “He's not so bad...He’s no Mack Mackenzie, though.”</p>
