Part 1<br />

<br />

Mag: Shilo?<br />

Is your name Shilo?<br />

Can I talk to you?<br />

Can you come down please?<br />

<br />

Shilo: Why?<br />

<br />

Mag: So we can speak.<br />

<br />

I saw you at the show.<br />

I thought I'd seen a ghost.<br />

Your resemblance is striking.<br />

<br />

You have your mother's eyes, her hair<br />

I was told you died with her<br />

All these years have come and gone<br />

How do I put this?<br />

I'm your... Godmom.<br />

<br />

Shilo: State your business.<br />

Mag: Business?<br />

Shilo: What do you want?<br />

<br />

Mag: I want, I want to finally meet you<br />

Something real to cling to, leave you<br />

With the hope that you will go to<br />

All you're meant to, all I failed to<br />

In you is a world of promise<br />

We have both been kept in bondage<br />

But you could learn from all my failures.<br />

<br />

Shilo: I'm not suppose to talk to strangers... <br />

Mag: Or let them through the gate?<br />

Shilo: That either. A big risk.<br />

Mag: A big fence.<br />

Shilo: A big mistake.<br />

Mag: A new friend.<br />

<br />

Marni: Chase the morning<br />

Yeild for nothing<br />

Chase the morning<br />

Yeild for nothing<br />

<br />

Shilo: Oh my god, mom! <br />

How'd you do that?<br />

Mag: Do what?<br />

Shilo: That. That eye thing.<br />

Mag: These eyes can do more than see.<br />

Shilo: I know. I mean, I've seen you sing.<br />

Mag: Where?<br />

Shilo: From my window. I can see the world from their.<br />

Name the stars and constellations.<br />

Count the cars and watch the seasons.<br />

Mag: I wish we could have watched together.<br />

Shilo: I can't have guests.<br />

Mag: Never?<br />

Shilo: Ever.<br />

If Dad found out that I'd been let out<br />

Or that you'd been let it--<br />

Mag: I should go, then, before I do<br />

Promise me you won't<br />

<br />

Shilo: Better that you don't.<br />

<br />

Mag: Don't forget a sheltered rose<br />

Needs a little room to bloom<br />

Outside her bedroom<br />

(Shilo: It's best if I resume my life<br />

Inside my bedroom.)<br />

<br />

Marni: Chase the morning<br />

Yeild for nothing<br />

Chase the morning<br />

Yeild for nothing<br />

<br />

Mag: Let your life be a dream<br />

Integrity, honesty<br />

It's too late for me<br />

Don't look back<br />

Till you're free to chase the morning<br />

<br />

Marni: Yeild for nothing<br />

Chase the morning<br />

Yeild for nothing<br />

Yeild for nothing<br />

<br />

Part 2<br />

<br />

Mag: Hi, Nathan.<br />

<br />

Nathan: Mag... <br />

How did you get in here?<br />

Don't you have a show tonight?<br />

<br />

Mag: How are you, Nathan?<br />

Nathan: Busy.<br />

Mag: You never were a man of many words, Nate.<br />

You told me Shilo died.<br />

Nathan: Listen--<br />

Mag: Nathan, I promised your late wife<br />

I'd be present in Shilo's life<br />

<br />

Nathan: Please, Mag.<br />

Shilo's very I'll<br />

It's not safe for her to see people<br />

I need to give her her medication.<br />

<br />

Shilo: Dad, let her stay in here<br />

Nathan: No, she's leaving<br />

Shilo: Please hide her here<br />

Nathan: From what?<br />

Shilo: She'll be dead<br />

Nathan: Look, I told her she was sick<br />

Mag: Nathan you are hurting me<br />

Shilo: Dad! <br />

Nathan: My daughter needs her rest<br />

Mag: I'll be fine, Shilo<br />

Don't you fret<br />

Shilo: Repossessions are dangerous (Shilo, go to bed)<br />

You're not safe. Dad, she's not safe (Shilo, go to bed)<br />

Mag: Shilo, don't you fret<br />

Nathan: Leave my daughter, she is sick (Your daughter's become a slave)<br />

<br />

Mag: you've turned this house into a zoo (I can't have this)<br />

Marni wouldn't want this for you (I'm not going to ask again)<br />

Set her free, set her free! (Please don't leave, Please don't leave! )<br />

<br />

Shilo: Come back! <br />

Nathan: Keep it down, Shi<br />

Shilo: Come back! <br />

Nathan: It's your bed time, it's late<br />

Shilo: Dad, am I--<br />

Nathan: Please<br />

Shilo: She will die<br />

Nathan: Nonsense<br />

Shilo: It's arrived, Dad<br />

Nathan: Nonsense<br />

Shilo: It's a contract<br />

Nathan: A contract?<br />

Shilo: Come and see<br />

Nathan: Nonsense<br />

<br />

Shilo: Come see! <br />

Mag's in trouble, Dad<br />

Nathan: Where'd you get this?<br />

Shilo: Read it, Dad, a Repo Man will come and take Mag's eyes! <br />

Nathan: There are things in life<br />

That we do best to leave alone<br />

<br />

Shilo: She'll die, you must help her, Dad (That are beyond control)<br />

You must stop her<br />

Please, Dad (That you don't want to know)<br />

Will you save Mag?<br />

She will loose her eyes<br />

Unless you stop this Repo Man<br />

<br />

Nathan: Shilo, this is senseless (Dad, you have to try)<br />

Shilo, this is pointless! (You can't let her die! )<br />

Shilo, Please shutup! (Dad--)
