2ACity's chewed me up, an' it's spittin' me out.

V

8AThe fuck, Judy? Sayin' you wanna leave? Now?

8AY'know, had this bizarre convo with a doll... Told me I had to fight. And I thought – fight for what?

8AAnd now, just when I thought I knew what it was all for... Friendship, trust... You're tellin' me you're leavin'?

Judy

8AIt's not like we won't keep in touch...

V

8AThe fuck, Judy? Sayin' you wanna leave? Now?

Judy

8AIt's not like we won't keep in touch...

V

8BSince I've known you, Judy, all you've been is chaotic, unstable and hotheaded.

8BPositively burst into my life, you did, so I should've expected an ending just as abrupt, like this...

8BGonna miss ya.

Judy

8BM'gonna miss you too, V...

V

8CLook, Night City's not for everyone. Grew up here, thought nothin' could surprise me...

Judy

8CAnd now?

V

8CI'd pack up my shit and bail too, if I could…

8CBut... it's just not the right time.

8DY'know... think if you lined up all cities next to each other, they'd look the same.

8DCorps're makin' sure of that. Makin' life uniform, everywhere.

Judy

8DMaybe so... Maybe all cities got allurin' faces... But stay long in one and you see what's behind it.

V

8DI... I can't leave Night City yet.

8EKnow why I came to Night City? 'Cause I thought it offered opportunities you couldn't come by anywhere else.

8ENow it feels like I'm standin' in quicksand. That's no way to live... for anyone.

Judy

8EI feel you...

V

8EI... I can't leave Night City, not yet. But someday – who knows.

2BThink it was the same for you and me both... female V only

Judy

2BMeanin'? female V only

V

2BPleasant distraction. A chance to let loose, nice way to spend the evening... female V only

Judy

2BReleasing tension. Right. 'Course. female V only

V

9AH-hang on... that-- that didn't come out quite right. female V only

Judy

9AMeant what you said, V. Don't pretend like you can take it back. female V only

V

9AJudy... s-sorry. Thought you felt the same way. female V only

Judy

9AYou thought one thing, I thought another. Crossed wires, it happens. female V only
