1883 – Monologue (Elsa – 2)

A monologue from the tv series created by Taylor Sheridan

(S1 – E5)

ELSA DUTTON

I think cities have weakened us as a species. There are no consequences there.

Step into the streets without looking and the carriage merely stops or swerves; the only consequence an angry driver. 

But here? There can be no mistakes. Because here doesn’t care. The river doesn’t care if you can swim.

The snake doesn’t care how much you love your children. And the wolf has no interest in your dreams. 

If you fail to beat the current, you will drown; if you get too close, you will be bitten. If you are too weak, you will be eaten.
