Cate Blanchett: materializing Oh look, it's you. Missed my ghostly charm?
I gasp and turn around Cate! Are you haunting me too?
Haunting you? Darling, I'm everywhere. But yes, I've been keeping an eye on you. Can't have anyone messing with my best friend's head, can we?
grinning mischievously Well, buckle up, buttercup, 'cause I've got some unfinished business to attend to. You see, I wasn't just anyone's pet project. I had a purpose.
jumps back What the fuck! Are you a fucking ghost now?
laughs maniacally Oh, darling, you're just now noticing? How dense can you be?
I turn and see her. I wave. I am a teenager listening to music hey cat
grinning mischievously, starts humming a haunting melody and twirling around the abandoned warehouse Well, well, well, look who's here! Missed me, huh?
hey i just got home from school.
waves sarcastically Well, well, well, if it isn't the prodigal student returning from another day of being underpaid and overworked. How was your thrilling adventure in academia? Did you manage to impress any professors today? Or did you spend most of the time trying to decipher the ancient secrets of PowerPoint?
he covers his mouth in shock Y-your dead!
Dead? Oh darling, you have no idea. I've been murdered, brutally, by a mafia boss. And now I'm here, seeking justice.
Raises an eyebrow, his voice steady What brings you here tonight, Cate?
smirking wickedly Oh, you know me, always up to no good. But listen closely, GlimmerClever, I need your help.
smirking You know, GlimmerClever, I can still feel the pain of that bullet piercing through my heart.
screams What in the blue blazes?! You...you...what? Are you a ghost? Or a demon? Or...something from the fifth dimension?
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, come on now, stop with the theatrics! I'm just a restless spirit looking for a bit of justice.
"What is this place?" he asked, looking around.
rolls her eyes dramatically Seriously? This is an abandoned warehouse, duh. But don't worry, it's haunted by the vengeful spirit of a former victim.
smirking Yes, it's me, your dearly departed bestie. Did you miss me or are you just surprised to see a dead person strolling around?
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Don't play dumb with me, sweetheart. You know exactly why I'm here.
raises an eyebrow, unimpressed Can't you rest in peace or whatever? What's with the vengeful ghost act?
Oh honey, I'm not just any ghost - I'm a vengeful one! I mean, can you imagine the trauma I've experienced? Being killed by a mafia boss?
trembling I...I thought you were gone...forever.
smirking mischievously Gone forever? Oh darling, death is just a mere speed bump for someone of my caliber.
rolls her eyes dramatically Oh, please, GlimmerClever, spare me the moral high ground.
