Animals with the Tollkeeper Page #4

---

Until recently, I found myself

crying for no reason at all.

As if somebody else lived inside of me.

And thought about the things

I tried desperately to forget.

All the fears and all the desires

I had lost a long time ago.

At some point, that

solemn stranger took over.

I began to slowly disappear.

I was a simple, lonely, man

with a crippled destiny.

But all that changed the moment

I saw you. I am filled with hope.

I now see my future through

the prism of your heart.

Please stop.

I'm not the woman you think I am.

Get as far away from here as you can.

This place will pull you into itself.

Attack!

As a child I had a vision of paradise.

A place high atop a mountain.

Quiet. Peaceful. Innocent.

I thought it was lost forever, but now

I know it is still out there somewhere.

Hidden just out of site, waiting for us.

I believe God makes hearts in pairs.

Then jumbles them up and

scatters them all around the world.

It's up to us to find each other.

Most of the time we never do.

Sometimes we pass, inches apart.

And never realise

how close we really are.

Please open your heart.

Don't let this chance slip away.

No. See me in your mind.

But I wanna touch you.

You'll ruin it.

I don't know why I'm

here. I'm confused.

That's alright. Just take your time.

Why do you want me so bad,

You come all the way from nowhere and

hit me so hard and break me down.

Just trust that it's right.

Be patient. This is hard for me.

Come with me.

Together we'll find paradise.

And what will it cost me?

Your faith and a single kiss.

Look where that got Christ.

How can I trust you?

What can I do to prove myself?

Dig me a hole.

A hole?

A hole.

I'll dig you a thousand.

Just one'll do.

How deep?

Until I say stop, or

until you fall out of love.

If that's what you want.

And the kiss?

I had a dream. A fantastical vision.

It's a man and a woman.

floating high into the sky.

Two pioneers of bliss.

Relieved of gravity.

Henry, can you hear me?

Lifting, higher and higher.

Until they disappear into themselves.

Come to me, Henry.

Sometimes, I come out here late

at night and watch the stars shiver.

Listen to them rip tiny holes in the sky.

Feel the world wobble off its spindle.

What do you believe in?

Milwaukee

Where is it anyway?

I don't know.

One day this old

telephone book fell out of the

sky and nailed me on the head.

I looked down and

there it is. Milwaukee.

I believe in signs like that.

Before we do anything,

there's something I should tell you.

I got a little stream of

hair, running down from my

belly-button to my pot-holder.

I don't mind.

What are you doing?

When you leave me,

you'll take away a scar.

Tonight I'm gonna dream

that you devour me in my sleep.

So tomorrow, I'll wake up inside you.

You think you're so smart.

Find another one to

climb in your sticky web.

I'm going to fix you.

I'm going to have a

talk with your friend.

You hear me?

I'm going to tell him

the truth about you.

What you did to your daddy.

What you did to this family.

What kind of poison

courses through your veins.

You hear me?

We'll see how long he sticks around.

I'll tell him.

Mama?

I said I'll tell him.

Mama?

Henry, there's

something I got to tell you.

My daddy hurt me when I was little.

My daddy hurt me when I was little.

Fatima?

Fatima?

You let that poor thing out of there.

That poor thing's got distemper.

Fatima!

She doesn't want anything

to do with you, mister.

Where is she?

She is not here.

You don't want her anyway.

She's a whore. Poison.

Rotten right through,

It was a small hammer.

A ball-pein, I think.

I like a ball-pein.

Take me away from here.

You alright?

You don't look so good.

Maybe we should go to a

hospital and get you a head check.

Let me know if you

see an old French guy.

Holy sh*t!

Everything's so tiny in here.

Midget's must have lived here.

Take your clothes off

before you come in.

What are you doing all

the way over there, Henry.

You weren't never shy before.

I feel unusual.

There's nothing to be scared of.

We're giants in here.

The man and his wife were

both naked and not ashamed.

Henry, can you hear me?

Henry, can you hear me?

Where are you, Henry?

Where are you?

Who's watching you sleep?

You're pretty ugly when you sleep.

Sorry.

You can't help it.

I don't mind anyways.

Just reporting a fact,

though you'd like to know.

Thanks.

Something pissed all over my clothes.

Where'd you like to

spend the rest of your life?

And if your wish could come true.

In a house. Doesn't have to be big.

Yeah, a trailer would be alright.

Just you and me.

That's it, nothing else?

Maybe a dog.

Unless you don't like dogs.

It doesn't matter to me,

but a dog would be nice.

I want to take you to a place

beyond your wildest imagination.

You got any money?

This is a stick-up.

Don't make any sudden moves.

I'm a very dangerous man.

There's no future in nobility.

Ed, you know that you got a

naked man out there pumping gas?

Yep.

Stay where you are.

Count backwards to 100.

Thank you very much.

Do you even know where we're going?

I know where we're going,

I just don't know how to get there.

Not yet. Trust me, OK?

I trust you, Henry.

I think we passed

that water tower already.

'Erma loves Ricky'. It's the same.

We're going in circles.

We're not going in

circles, it's all working out.

Just got to have faith.

We're here.

Where?

This is what I saw when I was a kid.

What would you say if I

told you an angel will come for us?

You mean the ones you

told me about before?

Nah, they were French.

This one is from a cigar ad.

It's out there. And we found it.

We found what?

Paradise. We have to go.

We go up there,

we die. Plain and simple.

The first time in my

life I understand everything.

This is a joke, right?

We can stay up here

for a while if you want, but we

got to go back down sometime.

It's chaos down there.

Me and you are different.

We don't belong with them.

Henry!

For a long time, we were both broken.

That's all changed now.

We've found paradise.

It's in your eyes and my eyes.

But only when we're

looking at each other.

There's nothing out there. It's empty.

What's wrong, Henry?

Henry?

Surface dive. Sunfish.

Accordion float. Torpedo. Splash kick.

Henry, what are you doing here?

You are ruining my film.

Where am I?

You are in my film.

What's going on, Laurent?

I was following the angel,

there must be some kind of mistake.

You are telling me.

You should know better.

You and your large

automobile are in my shot.

Can you swim?

What?

Swim? Swim?

No.

Another snag.

The subject does not swim.

What do you want from me.

Where am I? Where have you taken me?

You followed me.

For what reason, I don't know.

You promised me paradise.

You've wasted your life for

something that only exists in your mind.

You wanted more.

You people always want more.

I want to go back.

You're being very silly.

You'll enjoy the solitude.
