Ignatz & Marianne B

Ignatz
Hey, Marianne. Are you there?

Marianne
Yes. Can I help you?

Ignatz
Do you have a minute?

Marianne
Huh? Oh, um. I...

Ignatz
Then, if you don't mind... Would you come with me for a moment?

Marianne
So, um, did you need something from me?

Ignatz
Yes, indeed. I have an urgent request.

Marianne
Have I done something?

Ignatz
Oh no, it's nothing like that! Really, you don't have to worry.

Marianne
Um...

Ignatz
Would you close your eyes, please?

Marianne
Then, how will I know where I'm going?

Ignatz
Just take my hand. That's it.

Ignatz
There, right there. Perfect. Now open your eyes.

Ignatz
Yes. Isn't it beautiful?

Ignatz
I was looking at it earlier, and I thought to myself, "I have to show Marianne."

Marianne
But...why me?

Ignatz
Because you're always looking at your shoes! You never get a chance to appreciate the scenery.

Marianne
Oh, I...

Ignatz
See, the best thing about the scenery is, it's always changing—with the weather, the time of day, the season.

Ignatz
So every view is unique, never to be repeated. If no one sees it, it's lost.

Marianne
You could've just enjoyed it on your own...

Ignatz
I wanted to share this beautiful landscape with you.

Marianne
Thank you, I...I'm not sure what to say.

Ignatz
Hey, that's OK. I won't try to express this beauty in words either.

Ignatz
Just look and remember.

Ignatz
This will make for a nice memory.

Ignatz
And maybe...remember that I was here too.
