Call Me Crazy: A Five Film Page #3

---

- Losers!

Just slow down. They're behind us.

You can slow down.

Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Robin, slow down.

Robin. Robin.

Now I know why dogs do this.

Robin, you're freaking me out.

Mom. Mom!

Mom, stop! Stop it now!

Oh, my God.

Oh, it is so beautiful.

I'm calling my mom.

- Oh, my God. I'm gonna throw up.

- Look, trees.

- Baby, let's go climb the trees.

- Stop it.

What are you doing?

Mom. Mom, Mom.

Mom, please come pick us up.

We're at the park by the mall.

No, just me and Izzy.

Look, Grace's mom, she's, like, crazy.

She nearly killed us.

We were in a car and she started racing.

I don't know what's going on.

I'm sorry. I'm really sorry.

What is wrong with your mom?

She's bipolar.

She's bip... She's an official lunatic.

And you let us get in a car with her?

I tried to talk you out of it,

but you would never listen to me.

If you would've told us

she was crazy.

No, near the mall.

No, I'm fine.

No, Mom, I just need you

to come pick me up.

Mom, no, please,

just come pick us up.

Izzy, I'm so sorry

to have to put you through this.

Grace, it's me.

I always knew.

I always knew there was something

different about your mom.

Go. Go. I'll deal with Olivia,

okay?

Mom?

I'm up here, honey.

How could you do this?

You lied to me again.

You stopped taking

your medication again.

Oh, I have my medicine.

I hate you.

I'm done. I'm so over it.

I have my medicine. It's right here. It's

right here. Oh, here it is. Here it is.

I feel like I'm going crazy.

What are you doing?

You want it? There's the medicine.

That's why I wanna go

as far away as I can.

I can't save you.

I can't watch you go do this

over and over and over again.

Oh, no. No, no...

It's just... I can't.

Every time I think you're going

to get better, you don't.

It's too much.

No, wait.

Mommy's coming.

Mommy's coming.

Oh, no, look, they're all over the...

I'm gonna get them.

I'm gonna get all the pills.

I'm gonna pick them all up.

Every single one.

I'm getting them all picked up,

and then... And then... And then...

Here, you hold them for me.

You hold them for me, honey.

That's good.

Okay. I'm gonna get them,

and I'm gonna take all my pills.

I'm gonna take them, because

I know I'm not a very good mommy.

I wasn't a very, very good mommy at all.

And now I'm gonna be so, so good.

And I'm gonna take them all.

I just...

Okay.

Therapist to Room 5. Therapist to Room 5.

Okay.

Best girl ever.

Mommy's best girl. Hm?

Maybe I sh...

I should have just...

watched you.

Your meds, it's just...

My med... My meds? My meds?

You watch my meds?

Why would you watch my...?

They're my... They're my meds, honey.

They're my meds, huh?

They're Mommy's meds,

not baby's meds, okay?

Yeah.

It's my job.

My responsibility.

Look at me, baby girl.

You don't do nothing wrong.

Robin Joffe?

Just a minute. Just a minute, all right?

Just a minute. You call Grandma, okay?

Yeah.

You hear me? You call Grandma.

She's gonna take care of you.

Please, Robin.

I am coming. I am coming.

Sweetie. Sweetie.

You call Grandma, okay?

Yeah. Mm-hm.

You need to call Grandma.

Robin.

She'll look after you, and, oh,

really, really, really soon, really soon.

Say goodbye.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Come on.

I'm coming. What's the big deal?

Here I come. I'm coming.

Just go talk to her.

You okay?

No.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

No, honey. Honey, at home

there are five goldfish

swimming in the toilet.

Okay, I'm coming.

I'm... Here I am.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

I'm here.

And the reason I chose my mother

as the hero of this college essay?

She faces her battles every day

even though

she may never win the war.

She's helped me see...

that I didn't cause her disease.

I can't control it.

And I can't cure it.

This is my mom.

And that is her story.

And now...

I'm ready to leave home...

and claim my own.

Look at that

girl She's lighting up the world

She'll be a hallowed ground

To earn their love

People wait in line

To see the way she shines

If she wasn't perfect

Would it be enough?

Now the sky's on fire

Allison.

Allison.

Sorry. What?

We have to get your mom something.

She doesn't care about

stuff like that.

She's just dying to meet you.

They both are.

In the Midwest,

you don't go to a person's house,

let alone your girlfriend's parents',

without bringing something.

Trust me,

they're both gonna love you.

Hey. Hey. Stop, stop.

Oh, okay. If you bring me home

in one piece, it'll probably go better.

Just watch her play the part

By the way, we're totally

doing it in my old bedroom.

You sure your parents are okay

with us sleeping together?

I don't care.

We're gonna do it

right under Hello Kitty.

I want Hello Kitty to see.

Okay.

I've lived my whole life

Walking on the wire

My heart's on fire

Suddenly I'm breaking free

- Mom, Dad, we're here!

- There's my baby.

Hi, sweetie.

Ha-ha-ha.

Wow, look at you.

I see you've retired

the bulky-sweater look.

Mom. Uh...

This is Luke.

Luke. Nice to finally meet you.

So nice to meet you, ma'am.

Ma'am?

Missus?

Claire.

I'm surprised you've come

to our home for the first time

and you didn't bring anything.

She's messing with you.

Ha-ha-ha.

I kept texting her telling her

you insisted we bring something.

Where is Daddy?

He'll be here, a few minutes.

Which reminds me,

I should finish dinner, huh?

Luke, would you take

our bags up to my room?

It's the first one on the left,

the one with the Hello Kitty poster.

Allison.

We sleep together.

I'm not gonna be a hypocrite.

No, no, of course not.

I didn't raise you that way.

It's sweet that you care what I think.

Come on.

So, what do you think?

I think he's really nice.

I know, right? And cute too?

He's adorable.

Oh, honey, hand me

the meat thermometer, would you?

I have not made a roast chicken

in I can't remember how long.

This thing does not look done.

This is not...

Is she here?

Oh, at 150 at least,

don't you think?

Mom.

When?

Heh. Tonight. Are you

freaking kidding me? Tonight?

That's where Daddy is.

Allie, she is so much better.

She's finally on

the right combination of meds.

She is seeing a shrink

that we adore.

So then why didn't you tell me

that she was coming home?

Because I knew you wouldn't come.

Yeah, but you knew I was bringing Luke.

I'm telling you, Allie, she's healthy.

Really?

When healthy people come home,

you don't usually remove the doors.

Okay, she's better.

Until she's not.

If you'd gone to see her, you'd know.

What am I supposed to tell Luke?

He doesn't...

You don't have to tell Luke anything.

We'll just have a nice,

stress-free dinner.

This is a huge transition for her,

coming home.

Please, just don't stress her out.

I just wanted him to see we could be

a normal family for five minutes.

Well, that's about how much time

you've got.

Hey. Hey, so are all the doors

in the door shop?
