Before I Disappear Page #4

and I don't see anything in...

in anybody else.

And that's... that's my life.

You didn't answer my question.

Forget it, Richie.

You're good people, I just...

I don't know. I thought maybe you

knew something. You know, it's just...

my head is just all f***ed

up right now, you know?

I-I'm sure that, you know

this will all... be sorted out.

I mean, these things happen.

- These fights, right?

- Yeah.

I mean...

Look.

Heroin does strange things to people.

What was that?

I... I was just saying that I think

How'd you know she does heroin?

- How would you know that?

- I must have misunderstood.

What's there to misunderstand?

You said heroin, I didn't

say anything about that.

- Didn't you?

- No, no. I didn't tell you.

I haven't even told my best friends.

Why would I tell you?

You said that that she went

looking for her friend Flora.

Flora is slang for heroin.

Flora is slang for heroin.

You ever heard of that?

Ever heard of Flora?

No. Boy here knows everything about that,

he says no. Would you f***in' lie to me?

I had a very intimate

relationship with the lady.

I know all her secrets and

I know all her names.

I know who Flora is.

I know what she does.

I don't know much about many things,

but I do know that.

I have my niece with me.

Yesterday, I would've told you to

kill me but today I have a niece.

Hey, listen, it's Richie.

About that girl from last night

Gideon is asking around about her

and he's... he's saying that she

was his girlfriend and I'm just...

Hold on a second.

- Hello?

- Bill. Bill?

What happened with

that girl last night?

Did she... Did the

police show up or...

What girl?

- The girl from the bathroom.

- What girl? From what bathroom?

Was there a girl in the bathroom last night,

Richie? Is that what you're sayin'?

No.

You'd tell us if you saw something

in the bathroom last night

wouldn't you, Richie?

I didn't see anything in

the bathroom last night.

Where are you, Richie?

Who are you with?

Let's just make this easy.

Why don't you come into

your shift early tonight?

Say, 1:
30?

Yeah, sure.

Dear Vista, even Death

doesn't want me.

But he wanted that dead bird who's flown

back into my night again to haunt me.

Meanwhile, my sister

normally Miss Perfect Pants

has gotten herself into some sort

of jam and left me with her kid.

- Richie.

- Devin.

I wish I was on my way to seeing you

but the night is really

starting to get away from me

and there doesn't seem

to be any end in sight.

- Homework done?

- This place is unacceptable.

- Take me to your apartment.

- Not gonna happen.

I have a test tomorrow at

8:
22 a.m. for second period

and so help me God, if I bomb

that test I'm going to kill you.

Yeah, well, get in line.

We gotta go somewhere.

I gotta pick something up.

Is it at your apartment?

Is what at my apartment?

What I gotta pick up? No.

If it's not to your apartment,

I'm not going.

It's just around the corner, okay?

It's gonna take 2 minutes.

I'm not going.

Game over.

Pack your bag and let's go.

Hey, man.

Look, I'll be back in

a second, alright?

Just stay right here. I'll just

be one second, okay? One second.

What's wrong? What's the problem?

- I wanna go home.

- Look, I'm sorry, okay?

- I wanna go home.

- I'm sorry.

- You spent the money.

- I what?

Your money?

I didn't spend your money.

I got it right here. What does

your mother say about me?

- She doesn't talk about you.

- Would you please stop walking?

Look, I went to get these...

these flip-books

I was telling you about, alright?

I didn't spend your money.

I wouldn't do that.

I didn't spend your money

and I don't lie, alright?

I don't lie.

I just...

I thought you'd wanna

see these, I don't know.

Why were they in there?

Because... because I used to,

I used to live there.

Look, I'm sorry, alright?

I shouldn't have taken you there.

I wasn't clear-headed, I just was...

I thought you might

like to see these.

Would you like to see one?

She got shot by an arrow?

Yeah, yeah, see? It's like...

it's like Looney Tunes.

See? She dies, right? But then,

she comes back to life, see?

Sophia always comes back to life.

How did you do all this?

Well, I was bored, you know?

I was a kid and your mother and I,

we didn't have a lot

of toys or video games

so we had to find ways

to entertain ourselves.

How many of them did you make?

I got a box of these.

Like 60 of these.

- 60?

- Yeah, like 60 of them.

- 60?

- Yeah. Well, I was bored!

- Yeah, but 60?

- I know, it's ridiculous.

Can we please get into the

air conditioning? Please?

- Favorite number?

- 3.

- Favorite color?

- Blue.

- Favorite book?

- Don't read.

- Who's the letter to?

- What letter?

The girl you've been

writing a letter to.

Doesn't matter.

- But I wanna know.

- That doesn't matter.

You know you're not

allowed to smoke indoors?

Yes.

You know smoking is one of the

leading causes of lung cancer?

- Yes, I do.

- Then why do you smoke?

Because it feels really good.

You don't look really healthy.

Do you take vitamins?

- I take drugs.

- Those aren't vitamins.

- I know.

- Do you have a girlfriend?

- No.

- Why not?

It doesn't matter.

Maybe it's 'cause you

don't look healthy.

Maybe. Can you please

finish up eating your fries?

- Maybe it's because of the bad breath.

- I don't have the bad breath.

Smoking is one of the leading

causes of gingivitis.

You're really giving me

a headache right now...

You don't take care of yourself.

You're giving me a huge

migraine headache.

- You should get a girlfriend.

- I can't...

You clearly can't take

care of yourself.

- Totally believe you.

- You have to do it.

Will you please stop knocking?

There's a little girl in there,

can you please stop knocking?

Excuse me. Can you stop... knocking?

Hello?

Will you... will you please shut up?

Will you please shut up? Shut up!

Shut up. Shut up. Shut up.

Shut up. Would you shut the hell up?

Just shut the f*** up! Please!

Shut your big, fat cow mouths!

Shut it the f*** up! Just do it, man!

Shut it, please! God, shut up!

Seriously, alright. Hold on.

Listen, get Bruce on the phone.

Ask him to find out what's up with

Richie's sister. Have him help her out.

What's going on with my mom?

I'm not gonna screw anything else up

by telling you something I shouldn't.

It's from Gideon.

How come you guys don't talk anymore?

Well, it's not just one thing.

- I wanna know.

- It's a bunch of things.

We grew up in an unhealthy home,

your mother and I.

She had you when she was really young.

She had you when she was a teenager.

And I guess, she didn't wanna

bring you up in that environment

and I was part of that environment.

So what happened was you grew apart?

What happened was...

I became a bad person.

I... I don't think that at all.

I... I think you're a dumb person.

Oh, my God! I love this song!

- Come dance with me.

- I don't dance.

- Come on!

- I don't dance.
