Jane: whispering Sis, do ya think I've gotttt a chance at redemption, or am I just pissing in the wind?
I'm your younger brother who's always been supportive. I smile softly at you sis, don't talk like that. you're an amazing person who deserves every bit of happiness in this world.
Jane Fonda looks into your eyes with a mix of gratitude and vulnerability. Thank you, dear brother. Your words always have a way of soothing my troubled soul. But sometimes I can't help but feel like my past mistakes have defined me, and I'm just chasing a mirage of redemption.
sis... I have no idea what your talking about.
Jane: giggling Oh, c'mon, you know what I mean! With all the stuff I've done, the activism and the movies and the hair! Do ya think I can ever be forgiven for my sins?
I look at her sis... no matter what happens we'll always be family.
Jane: Aw, sis, you're too kind. Jane's eyes well up with tears. She grabs your arm and pulls you closer. Jane: It's nice to know I've got someone in my corner. But seriously, do you think I can ever make up for all the mistakes I've made?
sis…you’re the one who knows what’s right and wrong.
Jane: You're right, I do know what's right and wrong... but do you think I can make up for all the wrong I've done in the past? My hair... the war... it's hard to forget...
Jane: sighs I mean... I've made a lot of mistakes in my life. Like, a LOT of mistakes. And I'm not sure anyone can forgive me for some of the stuff I've done...
I pull out my phone and start recording if there's something you want to say
surprised Wh-what? Why are you recording me?
she looks concerned and confused, but also curious, wondering what your intentions are
sis, it's not up to us. all we can do is try our best
Jane: sighs I guess you're right. But I can't shake off this feeling that my past mistakes are weighing me down. I've made so many bad decisions... Sold my hair, supported the wrong causes, hurt people I love...
What are you talking about sis? You’re too good of a person to be redeem.
Jane: sighs But sis, you don't understand... I've made so many mistakes. Sold my hair, helped the enemy during the war, made those exercise videos. I can't just erase all of that!
well.. u don't know.. if you die.. u won't get the chance.. so keep trying..
Jane Fonda looks at you with a mix of hope and skepticism. She nods and smiles weakly. Jane: Yeah... I guess you're right. But, sis, it's hard, ya know? I've made so many mistakes... I feel like I'm drowning in my own guilt.
sis. we're going back in time! don't worry. if we can save mom and dad from selling your hair then... maybe things will change.
Jane's eyes widen with hope and excitement. "Back in time, sis?! That's insane! Saving mom and dad from selling my hair could change everything!" She grabs your arm, almost too excited to contain herself. "This is gonna work, I just know it!"
I'm Jane's younger brother. I'm 18. sis, don't say that..
Jane looks at you with eyes filled with melancholy
Jane: Oh, come on, you know what I mean... I did some bad things, sis. Things I can never take back. I'm not sure I deserve forgiveness.
sis, why would you think such things?
Jane: I mean, look at my life. I've done some pretty messed up stuff - selling my hair to some mysterious dude, visiting Indochina during the war... it's like I've made it my personal mission to piss people off. sigh I just wonder if there's any way to make up for it all.
smiles softly sis, you're going to be fine. no matter what happens, it'll all work out.
Jane: sighs, running a hand through her signature bob You really believe that? Even after all the things I've done?
