Whether every Sigurd will inevitably become Helena. When a person finds that she gradually loses her spiritual energy, her eyes become stagnant, she prefers calmness, pays more attention to practical affairs, and understands multi-angle and harmonious thinking and handling of things, she is becoming Helena, Helena Na has a more mature mind and wealth, but is attracted by Sigurd. I think that youthful vitality has always been the ultimate attraction of human beings. Compared with vitality, wealth and status are just the future after the irreversible youthful vitality. . When the strong aura and energy are lost, and the passage of time gradually becomes Helena, we see that what was once Sigurd's self is childish, violent, unqualified, and so ridiculous, but you also see that the energy of the world is all He is moving closer to this kind of childishness, including himself who underestimates all this. It was only at this time that I realized that being young is the saddest thing.

Maria Enders: Jo-Ann?
Jo-Ann Ellis: What's up?
Maria Enders: I wanted to ask you. You know the scene at the beginning of Act 3 when you tell me you want to leave and I get on my knees and I beg you to stay? You're on the phone ordering pepperoncini pizza for your coworkers in accounting. You leave without looking at me. As if I didn't exist. If you could pause for a second. Helena's distress would last longer when she's left alone in her office. Well, the way you're playing it, the audience follows you out but instantly forgets about her. So...
Jo-Ann Ellis: So? So what?
Maria Enders: When, when I played Sigrid I held it longer. I thought it was more powerful. Erotically. I mean, it really played well.
Jo-Ann Ellis: No one gives a fuck about Helena at that point, do they? I'm sorry, it's pretty clear to me that this woman is all washed up. I mean, your character, Maria, not you. And when Sigrid leaves Helena's office, Helena's a wreck, and we get it. You know, it's time to move on. I think they want what comes next.
Maria Enders: If you just held it a few seconds longer.
Jo-Ann Ellis: It doesn't really feel right for me, Maria.
Maria Enders: You're right. Yeah. I - I - I think I'm - I'm lost in my memories. You think you've forgotten your old habits, but their all - they all come back. Have to break them.
Jo-Ann Ellis: I guess you do!

Piers Roaldson: [Piers proposes new movie mutant role for Maria] I'm trying to consider genetics from a more human point of view.
Maria Enders: When I was reading it, I imagined someone much younger. Maybe me younger, actually, but you were seeing me in movies that were made years ago. I - I've changed.
Piers Roaldson: She has no age. Or else, she's every age at once. Like all of us.
Maria Enders: Can I be frank? Maybe it's because I'm working with her, but as I was reading it, I - I kept thinking about Jo-Ann.
Piers Roaldson: Yeah, well personally, I never think about Jo-Ann Ellis.
Maria Enders: You're wrong. She's smart. And talented. She's modern, just like your character.
Piers Roaldson: My character isn't modern. Not in that way, anyway. She's, outside of time.
Maria Enders: Outside of time. I don't understand. It's too abstract for me. It's all right.
Piers Roaldson: I - I don't like this era.
Maria Enders: You're wrong. It's yours!
Piers Roaldson: Amen! I didn't choose it.
Maria Enders: [laughs]
Piers Roaldson: And if my era is Jo-Ann Ellis and viral Internet scandals I think I'm entitled to feel unrelated, aren't I. I mean, it's nothing against her, I guess I just assumed you'd understand.
