Being Us Page #5

---

It's gonna make this place

into a f***ing palace.

Shortest distance

between two points.

Solve all your problems.

All of 'em, at once.

You don't know anything

about my problems.

Well, the precise nature of

your suffering is irrelevant.

All that bullshit

that's crowding you

out of your own head

just dissolves.

You empty out inside.

And there's room

for receptivity.

Sounds like I've been

waiting for this

for a long time.

Yeah, I bet you have.

Let me see your arm here.

Come here.

What is this?

Yeah, it's, uh, just

part of my 401k.

Just one big transaction, huh?

Buy low, sell high.

I tell you something, any

woman in their right mind,

would just be running out

this door, but not me.

No, you didn't run, did you?

I did not run.

Well, God makes us, and

we find each other.

How much you gonna give me?

Enough to help you forget.

Does it hurt?

No. No, it doesn't hurt.

Feels good.

How long does it take?

A couple seconds.

Hmm.

Did you know in 1924...

never mind.

You ready to mainline?

Isn't that God's own medicine?

Go with it. Just let

the river take you.

It's going to take you anyways.

You watch.

F***.

What're you doing?

Pursuit of happiness, baby.

No, no, stay down.

This is where you

need to be right now.

You owe me for the scab 'cause

I always square up here.

Oh, my balls.

F***, you b*tch.

F***.

Get away from me.

Oh no, no, no, no.

Easy now.

Back off.

No regrets now.

Come on.

I'm gonna open you up.

No.

Would you just f***ing relax?

This is all so dramatic.

Oh.

Oh yeah.

Well, I guess I won't be

making us breakfast after all.

What happened?

No. What happened?

That's the important thing.

You always have to be...

No. No. Stop. Stop.

No.

Stop.

No.

No. No.

I can't do this anymore.

You don't have to, baby.

You don't.

You're going to be okay.

You're going to be okay.

We are not okay.

We will never be okay.

How can you say that?

How can you know?

Because the men in our

life are killing us

and since you, it's

gotten even worse.

This isn't Margaret, is it?

I only want to finish what

the lot of you have started.

You want to kill yourself?

I'm already ruined.

There's no recovering from this.

No. No. No.

Bullshit.

You're not being fair. Okay?

No, no. You're not being fair

to any of them or to me.

You want to rescue someone.

You want to rescue someone.

Is that what you want to do?

You can't save us.

You can't save us

from each other.

No, I won't let you

No! No! I won't let you.

I am no longer willing

to endure the humiliation

brought on us by the whore.

And I will no

longer pay credence

to the whining of a child

or the grinning filth

of an adolescent idiot.

Babe, if you just, you've

got to give it time

and then work with the specialist.

Time? Time?

We were a child

when this started.

When it was allowed to start.

Our mother in the next

room, the next county.

Our first man, her man.

I want you to leave.

I want you to leave.

No.

I want you to leave. No. No. No.

Not unless Margaret

tells me to, okay?

I want to talk to Margaret.

Yeah.

Margaret,

is that you?

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry, but I can't

imagine life without them.

I can't imagine

life without them.

They're family.

It would mean so much to me

if you could see how

much we need this.

If you could see that

you, you, you have to,

you have to let me do this.

No. Yeah, you do.

I'm just supposed to say

okay and then walk out?

And let you die?

This is the one thing

left in the world

that I really want.

Do you love me enough

to let me do this?

Um, I'm going.

I'm going to go for

a cup of coffee.

You wanna?

No.

I might be gone for a while.

I...

I know.

What the f*** is wrong with you?

Yes, hi, um-- I

have an emergency.

No, I uh, there's a woman

here who's unconscious.

She's--yes, she took pills.

Uh, uh,

Oxycodone.

I don't know. Ten minutes.

I just got here.

Here is, uh, 1429

Stogman Avenue.

Apartment 4.

It's her apartment.

I'm her...friend.

There's no... yes, yes, I will.

McNair, Surgery 5.

Dr. McNair, Surgery 5.

She's gonna be okay.

Excuse me?

I called you.

Who are you?

I'm uh, I'm her uh...

her friend.

A friend?

We just...

drink tea.

Was it you who called

the paramedics?

Why didn't you?

I was trying to let her choose.

She is in so much pain.

I don't have the right to

hold her here just for me.

But thank you.

Have you been in to see her yet?

She'll be mad at me.

Maybe.

She'll want you.

Maybe not.

Take care of her.

If she'll let you.

She won't.

This belongs to her.

I think she might be

ready to have it back.

It was him, huh?

He got me here?

Yeah.

I'm glad it wasn't you.

I'm glad you're not dead.

I wish I could say the same.

I guess you can't, though.

Well, you know how this ends up.

Nothing's changed.

Yes, it has.

I accept you.

I'm with you.

You're out of your f***ing mind.

I know.

Might be time for you

to call you a cab.

No, no, I just live a

couple blocks away.

Suit yourself, but my guy'll

help you to the door.

You're sweet. What's your name?

I'm uh,

I'm Jeff.

Well, it's nice to

meet you, Jeff.

Thank you for your kindness.

Wait!

Running through my mind
