Eve's Bayou
written by Kasi Lemmons
Mozelle: Last night, I had a dram that I was flying. It was such a fine feeling. But in the corner of my eye, I saw a woman drowning in the very same air that was keeping me afloat. And I knew without looking that it was me. Should I save her? Then I heard Louis' voice saying, "don't look back." So I kept on flying...and I let her drown. When I woke up, I told Julian I would marry him......He wouldn't have it any other way. Maybe God will be kind and allow me to go with him. I'm so tired of being left alone. (long pause) Your daddy gave me a message for you. "Tell Eve I still owe her that dance." (she smiles sadly and leaves, about to cry)
