Kôshi Takatsuki: About today... what happened? Between Janice and Yoon-A.
Yûsuke Kafuku: Only they know the answer to that. One thing I can say is that this text has the power to make that happen.
Kôshi Takatsuki: Mr. Kafuku, why aren't you playing Vanya yourself?
Yûsuke Kafuku: Chekhov is terrifying. When you say his lines, it drags out the real you. Don't you feel it? I can't bear that anymore. Which means I can no longer yield myself up to this role.
Kôshi Takatsuki: But then, why me? I feel out of place in this production. I'm not suited for this role. I'm sure the audience will feel the same way. When I auditioned, I was desperate and in shambles. I didn't know what I was doing. So why did you choose me?
Yûsuke Kafuku: Oto brought us together.
Kôshi Takatsuki: Please don't be glib. I'm serious. I came here to change myself.
Yûsuke Kafuku: You can't control yourself very well.
Kôshi Takatsuki: Right.
Yûsuke Kafuku: From a social standpoint, that's not good. But it's not necesarily a drawback for an actor. During your audition and our sessions, you weren't bad. You can yield yourself to your cast mate. Do the same to the text. Yield yourself and respond to the text.
Kôshi Takatsuki: Respond to it?
Yûsuke Kafuku: The text is questioning you. If you listen to it and respond, the same will happen to you
Yûsuke Kafuku: Only they know the answer to that. One thing I can say is that this text has the power to make that happen.
Kôshi Takatsuki: Mr. Kafuku, why aren't you playing Vanya yourself?
