Harry Potter and the Cursed Child

ALBUS: Dad, you have two choices, either you take me to —
HARRY: No, you’re the one with the choice, Albus. You do this, or you get in deeper, much
deeper trouble — do you understand?
SCORPIUS appears on the other half of the stairs, he is delighted when he sees ALBUS.
SCORPIUS: Albus? You’re okay. That’s fantastic.
HARRY walks dismissively past SCORPIUS.
HARRY: He’s completely cured. And we’ve got to go.
ALBUS looks up at SCORPIUS and his heart breaks. He follows his dad — ignoring SCORPIUS’s
desperate glance as he does.
SCORPIUS: Are you mad at me? What’s going on?
ALBUS stops and turns to SCORPIUS.
ALBUS: Did it work? Did any of it work?
SCORPIUS: No . . . But, Albus —
HARRY: Albus. Whatever gibberish you’re talking, you need to stop it, now. This is your final
warning.
ALBUS looks torn between his dad and his friend.
ALBUS: I can’t, okay?
SCORPIUS: You can’t what?
ALBUS: Just — we’ll be better off without each other, okay?
SCORPIUS looks after ALBUS as he walks away. Heartbroken.
