3 [Accidental Voice] Forwarded to the morning.

[There's the sound of a piano playing, strong and well played, as if the person playing the piano has played this number over and over. The piano plays for a minute or two until Rachel sings softly to herself.]

I... wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas please...

[And a well practiced pause ~]

Fold 'em, let 'em hit 'em, baby, raise it, baby, stay with me... love the game, intuition, play the cards with spades to start...and after he's been hooked, I'll play the one that's on his... heart...

[And the piano playing ceases as Rachel stops singing, her voice trailing off as her breath hitches. The recording stops shortly after that.]

Your lesson! -=And there he holds a snared and bound rabbit.=- Gotta learn how to kill and clean, after all.

[...]

I -- you want -- you want me to kill a rabbit?

How do you think we prepare for the winter? We don't sing and dance a little jig, here.

But -- I -- don't -- eat animals.

[Al has totally been keeping her fed.]

What? -=This is unheard of.=- Well, the vegetables don't hold out all year round. Eventually you'll have to eat meat or starve to death.

But -- Edward, I don't think you understand, I don't eat them.

... look at it!

[LOOK AT THE BUNNY, EDWARD.]

-=turns to look at it. All he sees are its fangs.=-

It'll kill and eat you, given the chance.

It's tiny. It wouldn't be able to kill me. And just because it can kill you doesn't mean it deserves to die for it.

Eat or be eaten. Life will go on whether you choose to live or die.

-=He doesn't look like he's going to back down.=-

... you really want me to kill it?

Naw, I can't have a girl do that.

... But cleaning it an getting it ready for the oven is a good idea!

... I think I can cook it.

[SHE WILL BE SO UPSET but gdmit she never backs down from a challenge and she will cook that goddamn rabbit.]

Think? -=She's old enough to know how to cook, man. All the girls around her age would know in his town!=-

Well, I've cooked chicken before, I think I can manage to cook a rabbit.

Chicken and rabbits are two completely different animals. If you cook a rabbit wrong, it gets too gamy.

Well, we don't eat rabbit in my house.

And I've completely given up hope on eating kosher in this place.

I've never seen a Kosher here.

[A snicker.]

No -- eating kosher is a part of my reli --

[And a pause.]

Nevermind. It doesn't matter. Can you at least loosen the bonds on that poor thing before it loses circulation?

-=Lifts an eyebrow at that.=-

Survival is more important than whether your god's happy.

I'm not talking about this with you. You won't understand.

Morality and religion is for people who have all their needs met. -=he keeps a firm hold of the rabbit, keeping far away from the clawed feet as he soothed it.=-

When your body is cannibalizing your own muscle mass in order to survive, you'll think differently.

You don't know anything about me. Stop assuming that you do.

Just because I haven't suffered the same hardships that you have doesn't mean that I don't have my own difficulties and my own problems that I've had to overcome.

-=Lifts up the bunny. Focus, Rachel.=-

You gonna clean this or what?

[And the bunny distracts her from her soapbox.]

... clean it how?
