Blue.

Look, if you really wanna talk,

how come over the last couple years...

...every time I've invited you cut,

you've just never shown up?

I don't know if you've noticed,

but I don't exactly fit in.

Okay, look,

if we survive the next 24 hours...

...then I'll take you cut on a real date.

Well, what if I say no?

Well, why don't you sleep on it?

-Im the one who pulled his sweater out.

What if Im the only one who can bring him out?

Nancy, I can't let you go to sleep.

You're not gonna wake up.

I know you won't let that happen.

-F*** you.

-Ooh. Sounds like fun.

It's a little fast for me.

How about we hang first?

No. It's not real.

I'm real.

Boo.

Now, how's this for a wet dream?

Quentin, wake me up.

This dress...

Do you remember it, Nancy?

Of course you do.

You remember everything now,

Your memories are what fuels me.

No. Please don't.

Your mouth says no...

...but your body says yes.

Mmm.

Don't turn away.

Look at me!

Look what you did to me.

Now it's time to play.

Are you having fun?

Naughty girl.

You can't hurt me.

You're in my world.

And you can't ever leave.

Ohh....

That's music to my ears.

I wanna wake up!

You can't wake up.

I had to keep you awake long enough

so when you finally slept...

...you'd never wake up again.

Nancy, wake up.

Wake up, Nancy, wake up!

Were gonna be in here a long time.

-Nancy, please!

-Did you really think your boyfriend...

-...could wake you up?

-Please, don't do this!

Please!

I'm your boyfriend now.

Nancy, come back! Please, wake up!

You promised!

Sweet dreams.

Quentin, get him.

Die! F***ing bastard!

Nice try, Nancy.

Now let me take a stab.

Now, why don't you just f***ing die?

It hurts, doesn't it?

That's because you're

in my world now, b*tch.

Wait.

- Give me some slack.

- - Yeah, aim it up a little higher.

No sign of a body anywhere.

Hey, Quentin.

Nightmares over.

I want you to go

straight up to bed, okay?

Yeah.

Hey, Mum?

I know you were just trying

to protect me. Thank you.

I'm just glad you're safe.
