Your daddy knew

who I was when he met me.

But he wanted to squeeze

the goddamn life out of me

and keep me trapped here

like some damn animal.

He chose to leave.

He chose to run away.

From us, from you.

I need to hear you

say it, Tallulah.

I need to hear you say it.

Just say it, goddamn it!

It was you. You were alone. You were

drunk, and you left me out there.

It was an accident.

I swear.

You wandered out there.

And then...

you started screaming.

And you wouldn't

stop screaming.

And you needed your mama.

And my baby's skin...

My sweet baby's skin...

Henry, I tried,

but I just couldn't.

No. No.

You didn't, Tallulah.

You just didn't.

[GASPING]

[ALISON GROANING]

So you think you can just run

off with what belongs to me?

[MUFFLED SCREAMING]

You little junkie whore.

[MUFFLED SCREAMS]

Are you gonna be a good girl?

Not that anyone

can hear you, any way.

So, who you f***ing

these days for your fix?

Are you just dipping

into a box of meat?

You got what you came for.

You can leave me.

Let me go.

No.

See, I've been thinking about our

little reunion ever since you left.

Every minute, every single

thing that I'd do to you.

[SCREAMING]

You remember this, right?

See, I'm gonna

make this hurt.

[CRYING]

It's gonna hurt so bad...

until you last...

final... gasping breath.

[CRYING]

You don't have to do this.

No, but I wanna.

See, I want it so much

that it makes me hard.

I'm gonna make you beg.

Beg for your life

until I take it...

That's what

I love about you.

You never did know

when to stop fighting.

The wild, dirty little animal

that you are.

[UNZIPS PANT]

- [SCREAMING]

- And you know what happens to wild animals?

You cut them

until they're bleeding...

[YELLS] Until they're begging and

begging for their f***ing life.

[SMASHES BOTTLE]

[ALISON PANTING]

Where's my baby going?

You can't leave me.

But I am.

I'm not your baby.

Henry...

I know I lied to you.

But I'll spend the rest of

my days making it up to you.

This isn't about you,

Tallulah.

I should have left

a long time ago,

and you should have

pushed me to.

But you didn't.

You wanted me to stay

and rot here.

I'm awake.

Don't you get it?

Say goodbye, Tallulah.

[SOBBING]

[SLOW GUITAR MUSIC PLAYING]

[GRUNTING]

[PANTING]

Henry?

You!

You did this!

I'm so sorry, Henry.

I'm so sorry.

I don't wanna hide anymore.

I know. I know.

You don't have to.

Everything is gonna be okay.

[ENGINE STARTS]

HENRY:
"I have been one

acquainted with the night.

"I have walked out in rain

And back in rain

"I have outwalked

The furthest city light

"I have looked down

The saddest city lane

"I have passed

By the watchman on his beat

"And dropped my eyes

Unwilling to explain

"I have stood still

And stopped the sound of feet

"When far away

An interrupted cry

"Came over houses

From another street

"But not to call me back

Or say good-bye

"And further still

At an unearthly height

"One luminary clock

Against the sky

"Proclaimed the time

Was neither wrong nor right

"I have been one

Acquainted with the night."

HENRY:
I have been.

[WINDOWS ARE ROLLED DOWN

PLAYING]

Look up child

The world is born

Shoe's untied

And your soles are worn

Windows are rolled down

Sun is setting high

Windows are rolled down

I'm fixin' to die

Corn rows have

Companion feel

This rocky road

And this steering wheel

Who do you call

To ease your pain?

I hope for you

To get through this rain

Windows are rolled down

Moon is hanging low

Windows are rolled down

Think it's time for me to go

Hey

Is it what

You dreamed it'd be

Are you locked up

In this fantasy

Oh, this miles that have

Torn us apart

My new found faith

And my broken heart

Windows are rolled down

Sun is rising high

Windows are rolled down

Feel that wind rushing by

Hey

Is it what

You dreamed it'd be

Are you locked up

In this fantasy

Oh, this miles that have

Torn us apart

My new found faith

And my broken heart

Windows are rolled down

Sun is rising high

Windows are rolled down

Feel that wind rushing by

Hey

Windows are rolled down
