Transcript
Xeniph: Today marks the fourth day of my imprison--ment.
(Shot of her on a couch-type thing making four tally marks on a piece of paper on the wall. She sits down and sighs, putting the cap on her marker.)
(nodding) It's really easy to run out of things to do in here...
(Peter John Ross' music begins to play.)
(Fast-action shots of Xeniph taping up a poster of a hippo, counting something on the ceiling with her teddy bear, "flying" two somethings by the camera, and playing with a beach ball.)
(Back to her at her desk. The music stops.)
(sighs) Ah, well. Pretty much...I sit around, and play on the Internet. (shrugs) Ho hum, so is life. (pauses) I'd just like to start off by saying: (puts face close to camera) Daniel, you rat.
("You rat" segment repeats twice with subtitles "--Emphasis--" and "Once again, just in case you did'nt get it.")
(outraged) How can you leave Bree like that?! (shakes head) That is so mean. I can't believe you did that. (appears to try to get under control, or something) Bree needs you, Daniel. I don't mean to imply that she's...imcompetent. But she needs you. I can't believe that you would just go off and leave her like that, with a person you don't even know you can trust. (pauses) I mean, you were going on and on about "We don't even trust this Jonas guy," and now all of a sudden you're thanking him? For taking care of Bree?! (sits back with an incredulous look) I can't believe that. That's insane. Are you not thinking right? And then, to have the gall to post a video telling her how much you miss her?! You left. That was your choice. (turns away disgustedly)
(shot to her on the couch-type-thing. there is a pile of stuffed animals next to her on one side, and a blanket-thing on the other. she is holding her teddy bear.)
I'm trying to understand. (sighs) I mean, I guess if I had an opportunity to be enrolled in a Community College...and if I had a job...Then I guess I'd be pretty upset at losing all of that. (pauses) But I would hope that I'm the kind of person...and I thought you were the kind of person who would give that up for a friend if they needed it. (shrugs) At least that's the way you seemed at Camp.
(cut to her with her legs up on the couch, still holding the bear.)
When I saw you at Camp, you seemed like a...an all-around good guy. It seemed like you cared about Bree. And I thought, "Bree is soo lucky...to have a guy like Daniel to be with her. A guy that will...stick with her, no matter what. A guy who will...come...to a play that he doesn't even like, to be with her." (looks at camera for a while)
(softly) I guess I was wrong.
(back at her desk) So, Dad still hasn't forgiven me for taking Aleistor down. (thinks) I shouldn't have done it. I mean, even if I don't know if Aleistor's important to me, he's important to my dad. And...I should have respected that. But I was too busy thinking of what other people would think. (she looks away.)
(cut to a farther back shot. she seems to be holding her teddy bear again.) Dad's seemed really stressed out lately. I don't know what's going on. But...I don't know. He...goes out, for his meetings, and then he comes home always worried. And just...just really stressed. I wish I could do something to help. I mean, I know I don't agree with what the Elders are doing, but...he's my dad. (shrugs and looks away) He's the only family I've got.
(close shot again) Anyway, Bree...don't be discouraged. Don't give up hope. We're here for you. Even if Daniel isn't.
("Always Listening" shot)
Notes
- We first get a glimpse of Xeniph's stuffed animals and hippo picture in this vid. We see the hippo in the background of later vids, usually rolled up.
- There is a pillow on Xeniph's couch, possibly suggesting that she uses it as a bed.
- Xeniph seems to have no mother or siblings, indicated by her comment about her father: "He's the only family I've got."
