JEKYLL
(Jekyll slowly reaches his hand over and picks up his father's revolver which still laid on the table,.)

IT'S OVER NOW, I KNOW INSIDE
NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW
(He turns around holding it loosely in his hands.)
THE SORRY TALE OF EDWARD HYDE
AND THOSE WHO DIED
NO ONE MUST EVER KNOW

(Jekyll brings the gun up holding it tightly against his chest)

THEY'D ONLY SEE THE TRAGEDY
THEY'D NOT SEE MY INTENT
THE SHADOW OF HYDE'S EVIL
WOULD FOREVER KILL
THE GOOD THAT I HAD MEANT
(he holds the gun to his face)
AM I A GOOD MAN?
(At first covering his left side of his face with it)
AM I A MAD MAN?

(Then sliding it over covering the right side)

IT'S SUCH A FINE LINE

(He now holds the gun in the middle of his face creating a line between the lift and right sides)

BETWEEN A GOOD MAN AND A...

(He now moves the gun to the side of his head at his temple, closes his eyes, clinches his teeth, and in
his fear strains to pull the trigger)

HYDE
(Hyde gains control and slowly removes his hand from his head)

DO YOU REALLY THINK
THAT I WOULD EVER LET YOU GO?
DO YOU THINK I'D EVER SET YOU FREE?
IF YOU DO, I'M SAD TO SAY,
IT SIMPLY ISN'T SO.
YOU WILL NEVER GET AWAY FROM ME!

JEKYLL
(Jekyll regains control, moves the gun back to his head, and turns facing the broken mirror)

ALL THAT YOU ARE
IS A FACE IN THE MIRROR!
I CLOSE MY EYES, AND YOU'LL DISAPPEAR!

(Jekyll closes his eyes again and once again strains to find the bravery to pull the trigger.)

HYDE
(Hyde opens his eyes, still staring into the mirror, and lowers the gun)

I'M WHAT YOU FACE
WHEN YOU FACE IN THE MIRROR!
LONG AS YOU LIVE, I WILL STILL BE HERE!

JEKYLL
(Jekyll again raises the gun)

ALL THAT YOU ARE
IS THE END OF A NIGHTMARE!
ALL THAT YOU ARE IS A DYING SCREAM!
AFTER TONIGHT,
I SHALL END THIS DEMON DREAM!

(Once again tries to pull the trigger)

HYDE
(Hyde lowers the gun simultaneously turning around facing the audience again.)

THIS IS NOT A DREAM, MY FRIENDAND
IT WILL NEVER END!
THIS ONE IS THE NIGHTMARE THAT GOES ON!
HYDE IS HERE TO STAY,
NO MATTER WHAT YOU MAY PRETENDAND
I'LL FLOURISH, LONG AFTER YOU'RE GONE!

(They have a battle of wills raging inside.)

JEKYLL
(Raises gun)
SOON YOU WILL DIE,
AND MY MEMORY WILL HIDE YOU!
YOU CANNOT CHOOSE BUT TO LOSE CONTROL

HYDE
(Lowers gun)

YOU CAN'T CONTROL ME!
I LIVE DEEP INSIDE YOU!
EACH DAY YOU'LL FEEL ME DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!

(Hyde laughs, in the middle of his laugh Jekyll coming through)

JEKYLL
(Raises the gun)
I DON'T NEED YOU TO SURVIVE,
LIKE YOU NEED ME!
I'LL BECOME WHOLE
AS YOU DANCE WITH DEATH!
AND I'LL REJOICE
AS YOU BREATHE YOUR FINAL BREATH!

(Very dramatically tries to pull the trigger this time, only to be stopped by Hyde)

(Hyde continues to lower the gun and Jekyll continues to raise it.)

HYDE
FOR I'LL LIVE INSIDE YOU FOREVER!

JEKYLL
NO!

HYDE
WITH SATAN HIMSELF BY MY SIDE!

JEKYLL
NO!

HYDE
AND I KNOW THAT, NOW AND FOREVER,
THEY'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO SEPARATE
JEKYLL FROM HYDE!

JEKYLL
(Jekyll slowly and stiffly raises the gun to his head with each word)

CAN'T – YOU – SEE – IT'S!-
OVER NOW?
IT'S TIME TO DIE!

HYDE
(Hyde removes the gun from his head)

NO, NOT I!
ONLY YOU!

JEKYLL
(Jekyll puts the gun back to his head)
IF I DIE,
YOU'LL DIE TOO!

HYDE
(Hyde quickly removes it again)
YOU'LL DIE IN ME,
I'LL BE YOU!

(Jekyll continues to raise it to his temple, Hyde continuing to remove it.)

JEKYLL
DAMN YOU, HYDE!
SET ME FREE!

HYDE
CAN'T YOU SEE,
YOU ARE ME?

JEKYLL
NO!
DEEP INSIDE

HYDE
I AM YOU!
YOU ARE HYDE!

JEKYLL
NO - NEVER!

HYDE
YES, FOREVER!

JEKYLL
(Jekyll one final time places the gun on his temple)

GOD DAMN YOU, HYDE!
TAKE ALL YOUR EVIL DEEDS,
AND ROT IN HELL!

(Jekyll, eyes closed, strains and shakes with all his might to pull that trigger, it starts to budge)

HYDE
(Just as the hammer is about to come down on the gun, his hand in a flash points upward firing the gun
into the air.)

I'LL SEE YOU THERE, JEKYLL!

(he laughs wickedly having shown Jekyll that he cannot kill himself, and there is no hope in ever getting rid of him.)
