Are You Here Page #5

Your skin is so white.

I think

we should listen now.

If we create

a nonprofit society,

we can reap the tax benefits

of said society.

It is going to be a beginning

and an ending of life

as we know it

and that is why I am calling it

The Omega Society.

I hate to stick my nose

into this, but...

No, everyone's voice

has equal merit.

The Omega Society sounds like

the Omega Institute.

It's a holistic organization,

environmentalism,

spiritual rebirth.

It's total synchronicity

is what it is.

Not only is it the perfect name

for our society,

but it already exists.

I think there's

an Omega Society, too,

so I don't think legally

we can...

Justin, it's not about

what is legal.

I grew up out here.

There are Amish people

on three sides of this farm.

They don't vote.

They don't join the Army.

They don't send their children

to our schools.

When you live off the land,

and you're honest,

things fall into place.

You are a beacon

to that Babylon out there.

My cousin lives in Oregon.

Ben's right.

So I've never seen you

at the Marriott before.

Oh, I really shouldn't.

You just going to go home and

stare at an empty dog bed?

Chester doesn't get home

from the hospital

till tomorrow, right?

His name is Clarence.

He got out

of the hospital today,

and my mom

is watching him.

But you sure are

a good listener.

So are you,

and a very

beautiful one actually.

I think Clarence

needs me.

Seriously,

I'm really fast.

Did you give my number

to someone?

I don't even have your...

Shh, one second.

Hello?

I really didn't mean

to bother you.

Ben's fine, but we just got

this registered letter.

Terri is challenging

the will.

Why? I mean,

I know why,

but under what grounds?

Well, it's Ben's competency.

There's going to be a hearing, and

he has to see a psychiatrist.

Can you believe this?

This morning, the bank

account was shut down.

It's a classic obstacle

to a pioneer.

It's like Galileo

or Che, or Jesus.

Every great move

has a counter move.

But let me tell you,

my sister's greed

is not going to stop the

evolution of mind and body

that's going on out here.

No, no, no, look.

You need to calm down.

- Just get a lawyer.

- A law...

You think I'm crazy now?

Go see the shrink.

It's like giving them the

money if you don't go.

I could be

my own lawyer you know.

There you go.

I could prepare a brief, one of those

600-page obstructionist babies.

They don't know

who they're f***ing with.

Hey, are you still there?

Yes, any other fires

to put out?

It is just getting

more and more intense,

and there are a lot of

other people involved now.

Like you and me?

No, I mean, there are

these hippie kids now

and the store,

and now this court thing.

He just seems

very agitated.

And I mean, I've been trying

to deal with it, but...

I'm just glad

I could call you.

You can always

call me.

I'm leaving.

Maybe you should...

Oh, my God.

ls there someone there?

No, I'm alone.

Now.

I'm sorry.

It's fine.

You're just

doing your job.

My job, actually.

Well, I don't

really know him.

He's Ben. He's a blast

most of the time.

But you didn't know

his mother.

He inherited some things

that weren't in the will.

Yeah, Sam mentioned that.

Probably nothing like the free love,

whole foods thing you grew up in.

My father was an actuary for The

Hartford insurance company.

He died at his desk.

I was still at Andover.

Huh. Like say

about Sam's age?

What?

So you must be loaded?

Is he going to be okay

or not?

This is the way

it usually goes.

The best thing to do

is keep feeding him.

Food is nature's Vicodin.

That's good, too,

by the way, if you have it.

You should finally be getting

some rain up that way, you know?

Mm, I'm not too sure

about that.

Well...

goodnight.

Yeah, goodnight

to you, too.

Woo!

Wooooo!

Woo!

Wooooo!

Ben?

Ben?

Is he ready?

Ben, Terri's here.

I can't believe

you're doing this.

Yeah, well I can't believe

you're still here.

Ben?

Benji. We're going

to the doctor, okay?

There isn't anything to be...

Ben?

Great.

Why aren't you inside?

Greetings.

Sorry to keep bothering

you like that.

I don't think

getting a glass of water

is the biggest inconvenience

for these people right now.

I was just explaining

my admiration

for these people.

They live off the land

in kindness.

They don't believe

in war or pollution.

I'll tell you. One day, when there's

no earth left, because we used it up,

there will be 10 square miles of

Lancaster County where God still exists.

Why are you naked?

I didn't want that chemical

smell on me anymore.

That smell

is not chemicals.

It's B.O. because

you have stopped showering

and you ruined everything

I bought you at The Gap,

which you loved.

I don't anymore.

We are going.

This entire incident

is inappropriate

and probably illegal,

and if I were Mr. Yoder,

I would make you pay for the fact

that I missed two hours of farmwork

so I could ride into town

on a buggy

to get a cop out here.

You're wrong.

We're having a conversation!

I don't want

to speak out of turn here,

but Felty and Sarah

are not being hospitable.

They're pacifists,

and this is how they respond

to being held hostage.

Gosh, I'm...

I-I never meant to...

I didn't...

Ben, I think

you can keep the apron.

Let's go.

Yes, the best way to get

the soda out of the bottle

is to shake it and

shake it and shake it.

You need a ride?

Yes.

Next time,

go over to the highway

and get Anderson

to ring the fire bell for you.

I will.

I apologize.

I might have been

in a bit of a panic.

I'm terribly sorry,

Mr. Yoder.

I am sorry

to hear about your father.

Thank you very much.

We all miss him,

obviously.

He was lucky

to have a long life.

Such a caring daughter.

All he cared about

was his family.

Surely there's no other reason

for being on this Earth.

What would you do if you

couldn't have children?

I would pray to God

to send them to me.

What if you don't

believe in God?

Maybe that's why

you can't have children.

Honestly, Ben,

you really f***ed me here.

My independence of mind

is obviously a threat to them.

Them?

Society.

With all their poison.

I'm not putting it

in my body.

And I respect that deep-fried

temple that you built,

but you have to stop

running naked.

I know.

I panicked.

Even the most committed messenger

has a moment of doubt.

Keep that word "committed"

in mind.

Next time. Oh, you

mean in the courtroom?

Because that's where

we're heading,

and they might not stop

with the money.

They can force you

to take the medicine,

and they can lock you up.

We're studying in here.

Anyone hungry?

Not really.

L got to go-

Be", you okay?

I don't know. I'm feeling

a little stressed out.

I'm stressed out.

You're crazy.

Let's use the word freely

as if it gives us power.

Goodnight.

I see you've been arrested

a few times.

Public outbursts,

indecency.

A misdemeanor

related to your profession
