Agoraphobia Page #2

---

Oh, I'll take care of this.

I thought I laid these out.

I have to go.

I called my office, and I

have to put out some fires.

Did you put the bathroom mats

back in this box?

I haven't been in here.

That's so weird.

I could have sworn that I...

Never mind.

I'm gonna miss you so much.

I will come to see you

all the time.

All right. I have to go.

- Okay.

- Bye.

Oh, um, sorry,

make yourself at home.

I'll just be in the office

working on my dissertation.

Dissertation?

Yeah, I'm trying to get my PhD.

Cool. In what?

Uh, psychology.

I want to be able to eventually help others

who are suffering from my condition.

Right.

I'll go to my car and get my

stuff and move them inside.

- Where is she?

- Excuse me.

Where's that little hermit?

Is she expecting you?

She isn't expecting this.

Elizabeth, what a surprise!

If you think

you can get away with this,

you're dead wrong.

This is my house!

I think you're suffering

from misplaced anger.

It's my dad

that you're really mad at.

Don't give me your

psycho-babble bullshit.

I was practically

married to your father.

And yet all he left you

was the condo,

and he left me everything else.

All you ever did was try yo make him

feel guilty about being with me.

Please.

He could've cared less

about what I thought.

You just must have

done something really wrong

that made him not wanna give

you anything else in his will.

I treated your father

like a king.

Better than that whore of a

mother of yours ever did.

Leave my mother out of this.

She never cared

about either one of you.

She left and never looked back.

Yeah, right when you showed up.

You pushed her away

so that you could be with him.

You're just as crazy as she is.

Okay.

You need to go

before I call the police.

You're going to regret this.

This is my house,

and I will get it back.

Now!

I am so sorry I let her in.

I had no idea who she was.

Don't worry.

It's not your fault.

I bet you didn't realize you were gonna be

playing the role of a bouncer, did you?

But you shouldn't even

let her get to you anyway.

She's obviously trash.

Nina, is that you?

Tom, are you home?

The doctor just left,

but I can call him back.

You've lost a lot of blood,

Faye.

I'm not going to any hospital.

How long did you know?

I didn't.

Come on, how could you

not have known?

My cycle has always been

a little messed up.

We have to be more careful.

What?

Or not be careful at all.

We've been married

for three years,

maybe it's a sign

that we should start trying.

What? Are you cra...?

Faye, you are in no condition

to be having a baby right now.

I'll have Nina to help me.

Be rational, come on.

What is so irrational

about wanting the life

that everyone else has?

Of course, it's normal

that you want a baby.

It's just that

in your condition,

you can't be having

any kids right now.

As soon as you get better,

I promise we'll have

one, two...

three, however many you want.

That's what we came here for.

Come on, Hamlet.

It's time for our therapy.

I can do this, baby.

One day, I'm gonna walk

right through those doors.

And you're gonna come with me,

okay?

This is going to be

harder than I thought.

Tom told me

what happened last night.

He shouldn't have

told you that.

You should have gone

to the hospital.

It wasn't that serious.

He said it was a lot of blood.

It just seemed that way, because I

was in a bathtub when it happened.

Tell me the truth.

You knew you were pregnant.

You just didn't want Tom

to know until it was too late

to do something about it.

No. No, I swear I had no idea,

but...

But, now, um...

What?

Now I want to have a baby

so badly.

It's...

It's just given me so much more

resolve to get better soon.

Oh, that's great.

Hey, I've been doing this thing where I get

a little closer to the door every day,

and sometimes

I'll bring Hamlet with me.

It's really weird, but he's

actually been helping me a lot.

The cat?

How much more inspiration

do you need to go outside

than to look

at this beautiful view?

I mean I can see how the city

might be scary, but...

what can possibly

go wrong here?

I can't really explain.

Maybe what you need to do

is just run out.

One quick dash across the door,

and you'd be free.

Come on, Faye, try it.

It's like what the doctor said.

What are you doing?

Exposure therapy.

No! Stop!

I know you're scared now...

No! Stop! Stop! Stop!

No! No! No! No!

What's going on?

Close the door.

I'm so sorry, I'm sorry.

I was trying to help you.

Should I call her doctor?

You want us to call Dr. Murphy?

Just lie down on the couch and

take a little nap. You'll be fine.

- Why would you do that?

- Is she gonna be okay?

Just let her sleep.

She'll be just fine.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Please forgive me. I'm sorry.

Oh, hi, baby.

Are you afraid of the storm?

Is there anything else you want to

tell me about what happened tonight?

What happened?

She's fine. She just got a

little startled, that's all.

Are you okay?

Apparently somebody broke into the

house while your wife was sleeping.

Um, do you need me

anymore tonight?

No, not really. Thank you.

I'm calling an alarm company

right now.

I'll be back.

All right, here's my number.

Call me if you think

of anything else. All right?

Did you know my father?

Not really.

We rarely saw him around here.

Yeah, we were kind of surprised

when we found out

he had passed away here.

Here? Like in this house?

I thought you knew.

The cleaning lady called it in.

Do you know how he died?

According to the medical

examiner he had a heart attack.

Could someone have killed him

and made it look

like a heart attack?

No, there was no sign

of foul play.

Look,

I know about your condition.

My late wife,

she had bipolar disorder.

She felt alone in this world,

because people couldn't

understand why she just

couldn't get over it.

Your late wife?

What happened to her?

She overdosed on some pills

one night.

I'm so sorry.

I did understand

what she was going through

so if you need someone to

talk to, do call me all right?

I called the company that does the

security in my building at work,

and they're gonna come

to install an alarm tomorrow.

Oh, great.

All right, I'm done here.

You have my number.

Call me if you need anything.

- Thank you.

- I'll keep in touch.

I forgot to tell you.

Elizabeth is disputing

the will.

Can she even do that?

Yeah, but don't worry.

I'll take care of her.

Nothing that witch does

even bothers me anymore, but...

But what?

I need you here with me.

I don't feel safe here alone.

I know, baby,

give it some time.

The trial will be over

in a couple weeks,

and I'll be here more.

I was thinking.

My father left me

all that money.

There's no reason for you

to work ever again.

Babe, that's your money,

not mine.

You're my husband.

It's our money.

You want me to be a kept man

the rest of my life?

No, you can help me

run my father's business.
