Altered Perception Page #7

---

thought about that.

I thought about

calling her, bluffing,

and then, I figured she'd

just catch my bluff.

So I got a better idea...

call her.

What?

So she can be part of our drama

Put her on speaker!

Why?

So...

And tell her that I know.

And if you're not f***ing her,

she'll be really surprised.

Bring her in...

And if you are, she'll

ask how I found out.

Call her!

So what, you had clients a

couple of times a week, right?

It's no different than having

a husband or a boyfriend.

Exactly.

So I guess because it

was with different men,

it just seems worse.

And I know that if you think

about it, it just seems silly.

Why does it bother you?

To be honest, it's

because I am afraid.

I'm worried that it made

you feel bad about yourself.

When I hear that word,

whore, it just bothers me,

even when you use it.

I mean no offense with the word.

But honestly, it can be used

for people in your profession

or any profession.

People use words and phrases to

try to make people feel stupid.

When you do that to

me, that's how I feel...

stupid.

It's just... it's ironic.

Andrew, I know

what ironic means.

I know.

It's just funny to me that

that makes you feel stupid.

Because I only do it when I

know that you're ahead of me

in the argument.

Wait, so you're

admitting that I'm right?

Are you trying to

get make-up sex?

I don't know.

Is it working?

Not yet.

Did I mention that you

are sexier than most

of the girls I've

ever been with?

Most?

All of the girls that

I've ever been with.

You're getting warmer.

You know what it is?

It's because I'm insecure.

It's an insecurity thing.

It's because I'm just

trying to win the argument,

instead of trying to

come up with a resolution

for the conflict that we're in.

God, I can be such

an ass sometimes.

We all do it.

Nobody wants to be wrong.

I know.

But for me, it's different.

It's about being smarter.

Actually, it's about seeming

smarter, I should say.

Who gives a sh*t?

I do.

That's the thing.

I give a sh*t.

It matters to me, because

I need to feel smarter.

The equation

doesn't balance out.

You are so beautiful

and so smart.

So I have to seem so smart.

I have to seem like a great

lawyer, or this doesn't work.

You throw me off my game.

You were right.

About what?

The other night.

I honestly thought that you

were the one who brought up

the arrest, but it was me.

No, no, you're wrong about it.

It was me.

No.

No, I remember now.

I'm just, I'm so sure.

I'm so worried that you're

so uncomfortable with my past

that I automatically think

that you're upset about it.

So when you started talking

about prior arrests,

I thought you were

talking about me.

I was.

What?

I said, you're.

I said, you're.

What are you talking

about, Andrew?

I said, next time

you're arrested.

Suddenly, I was thinking

about your case.

I do think about it.

It's because I'm

in love with you.

And I just want to make

sure that you are OK.

I'm OK, OK?

Good.

Then I am too.

Good.

Can we just put

this behind us now.

Sound good to me.

Good.

You know what would help?

School girls?

You still have them?

Hell, yes.

OK.

Come on.

Sweetheart, are you OK?

It's working.

The medicine's working.

I'm so sorry.

It's OK.

I know.

It's OK.

I'm here now.

I'm not going anywhere.

Emily, what is it?

Just wait.

What am I waiting for?

We need to talk.

This is really big.

[knock on door]

You sure you want to do this?

Yeah.

Are you?

Yeah.

No, let me do it.

What's going on?

She's acting all crazy.

Shut the f*** up!

What?

Emily, what are you doing?

Emily, put the gun down.

You want to tell

her or should I?

Emily, this is not the

way to handle this.

Put the gun down.

I was lying in my bed,

in and out of sleep,

and I just kept thinking

about his words.

I would never hurt you.

And it occurred to me that

he did it to me before.

You did it to me before.

And you know exactly

what I'm talking about.

You mean earlier?

No, I mean when were teenagers.

Admit it and you can leave.

Em...

I said, admit it.

I went into your bed.

And?

We were just kids.

You molested me and told

me that if our parents ever

found out, that they would

hate me for being a slut!

Emily, he admitted it.

Put the gun down.

I'm sorry I didn't believe you.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

It's f***ing empty,

you psycho b*tch!

Justin, just get the

f*** out of here!

Admit what you did to Beth.

I f***ed your girlfriend.

So what?

Even though she said no.

Big f***ing deal.

She enjoyed it.

F*** you.

Good luck proving, b*tch.

That goes for both of you.

I'm sorry.

[door closes]

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Will you forgive me?

I'm so sorry.

So Beth filed a complaint.

The other women came

forward, and Justin

faces multiple felony charges.

So the DPT helped Emily

with the repressed memory.

No, she was the one that

was given a placebo.

Well, what about

Kristina and Steve?

There was definitely a

breakthrough with Christina.

Unfortunately...

Call her.

Call her!

You going to make

the call or not?

What have you done?

What the f*** have you done?

Must be the wine, maybe the

muscle relaxers I put in it.

You drugged me?

Yeah, they say you're not

supposed to mix with alcohol.

Kristina, no.

No?

Whatever you're thinking

about doing, no.

No?

Please.

Oh, please?

Are you begging me?

I think you don't know

what it's like to love.

I do.

I think you don't know what

it's like to feel a thing.

Maybe you can feel this.

[steve screams]

[MUSIC - RACHELLE AND THE

RISING, "FALLING"]

One day, I'm closer to me,

baby.

Step away and see

what you want is me.

You, baby, what

you touched softly.

I can hear you whisper,

and the darkness covers me.

I don't know if I

could let you in,

but promise you'll

come back to me.

Falling down into

what I've found,

it's so easy to finally let go.

But right now, I can feel you

[inaudible] Are you scared

to hold back anymore?

Fall a little, float up to the

ceiling, grinding for my heels.

Lean in towards me, reaching

for me, hover above my lips.

Your eyes light up,

and your coming in.

Are you going for the kill?

I'm not sure what

I'm just [inaudible]

but please don't

walk away from me.

Falling down into

what I've found,

it's so easy to finally let go.

But right now, I can feel you

[inaudible] Are you scared

to hold back anymore?

Let it go.

Let it go.

Let it, let it go.

Let it go.

Let it, let it go.

Let it go.

Let it go.

Let it go.

Let it go.

Let it, let it go.

Let it go.

Let it, let it.

But don't let me go.

Falling down into

what I've found.

It's so easy to finally let go.

But right now, I can

feel you [inaudible]..

Are you scared to

hold back anymore?

Falling down into

what I've found,

it's so easy to finally let go.

But right now, I can

feel you [inaudible]..

Are you scared to

hold back anymore?

Falling down, falling,

falling.
