Camp X-Ray Page #6

Or when we're trying to

kill ourselves here,

with hunger strike, you learned something..

Huh? You said.

So tell me... what is that?

I want to know.

What did you learn?

Only you think you know,

but you know nothing.

You know nothing about me.

You and me...

We are at war.

I don't see it like that.

Then you see nothing.

What is that?

Hey, hey, hey, hey!

If... if you call on your radio,

you're not going to make it.

You're not going to make it.

Bring it down.

Bring it down.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

Okay.

Just don't do anything crazy, okay?

You think I'm crazy?

No. No, I said just don't...

don't do anything crazy.

Is this crazy to you?

If you was me, you wouldn't do this?

Give me one reason why... one.

Maybe to try to not... not die in this...

this f***ing shithole.

I don't like to die in this shithole!

But one way or another,

this is the place I will die.

Look, you don't know that.

You can't know that.

Ali, things can change.

Things... things can always change.

You... you can't just, uh...

you can't just f***ing give up.

- You got to...

- Give up, blondie... what is "give up"?

Three years ago, they took

me to these interrogations.

And one of your guys here,

one of those guys who don't wear uniform...

he told me that I'm innocent.

He told me that he knows I'm innocent,

but I still cannot go home...

Because there's no country, no city,

no f***ing person in this planet

will take me because I've been here.

I have no place to go, blondie.

This is the only thing

that can change something.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Yeah, everything's fine. Um.

My... my radio's...

it's...it's on the Fritz.

Can you get me another one?

Uh, yeah.

Blondie, you... you are a good guy.

Yeah, thanks.

Am I a bad guy or a good guy to you?

Ali...It doesn't matter right now.

It's the only time it matters.

So you're gonna just...

you're gonna be a martyr?

Is that what you think you're...

you think you're gonna go to heaven?

That's what you want to do?

I don't believe in this anymore.

Well, then, why are you doing this?

Look at me.

You're asking me why do I want to die,

but you don't see that I'm not even living.

You guys control everything.

You tell us what to eat,

when to sleep.

Even when we don't want to eat,

you tell me we must.

It is your life... it is not ours.

I don't expect you to understand that.

I-I like you.

I do.

But... but you'll never understand this.

It's Amy.

You keep calling me "blondie," but...

My name's Amy Cole

from Moore haven, Florida.

And I like you, Ali.

I really do.

Ah, f***!

Hey, hey!

Is there a... is there a zoo in Bremen?

What?

When I was a kid, I went

to the zoo with my dad.

It was just outside where

we lived and, uh...

It's really small, one of those zoos where

they keep the animals locked up in these...

these tiny, little cages,

these tiny, little,

like, concrete boxes with

tires in them or something.

I was really excited about going.

I really wanted to see

something outside my town.

I wanted to be...

I wanted to be so close to

something so wild and...

It just wasn't okay.

I didn't.. I didn't like it.

And my dad kept trying to f***ing

tell me that it was okay, that...

that this lion could never

go back home because...

because he wouldn't be able

to survive in the wild,

having been locked up for so long.

Okay. You're trying to tell me that the

zoo people... they are not guilty.

They have no choice.

No.

I thought they had a choice.

If they had the choice,

they should've given it to him.

They should have let the lion choose.

You're the new guy, huh?

Tell me... how do you like it here?

Do you want a book or not?

Hold on your horses, big ear.

No one here goes anywhere.

At least, I'm...

what... what is that book there,

the big one?

No. No, the b... the big one.

The... the big yellow book!

The big... the yellow big book!

Yes, that... give it to me.

Yeah, give that book.

I wish that I had known in

that first minute we met

the unpayable debt that I owe to you

because you'd been abused by

the bone that refused you

and you hired me to make up for that

while I was checking vitals,

I suggested a smile

you didn't talk for a while

you were freezing

you said you hated my tone

it made you feel so alone

and so you told me I

ought to be leaving

but something kept me

standing by that hospital bed

I should have quit, but,

instead, I took care of you

you made me sleep all uneven

and I didn't believe them when they

told me that there was no saving you
