Chloe and Theo Page #3

as soon as you open your mouth.

Yeah, people think I'm crazy.

We'll go shopping tomorrow.

Okay. I'm outta here.

I got to go before they close

the shelter.

You're welcome to stay here

if you want to.

What... and lose my bed?

What'll happen

when you're not around anymore?

But I'll be thinking.

- We're close?

- Yes.

I guess you'll be heading back after?

- You miss it?

- Yes.

The silence. The simplicity.

Simplicity is the key to brilliance.

Bruce.

What about you. Do you miss your home?

This is my home. Nothing to miss.

What about your family?

My dad...

but...

these guys are my family now.

I've been on the streets so long,

I can barely remember

why I ran away in the first place.

I was a junkie,

and a thief,

until a couple of years ago.

That's when Mr. Sweet found me.

Anyway, I chose to run,

and I'm not saying that this is

the sweet life, but it was my choice.

I can live with that.

Life is so full of difficulties,

but in my homeland,

our sense of family bunches together

like a warm coat against the cold wind.

Uncle!

Uncle!

God gave you legs.

Yes, but my wife gave me this,

I know who I'm more afraid of.

- You'll need some things.

- I can adapt.

Take them anyway.

For your mother's sake.

We were taught that to waste resources

is a form of stealing,

and we should never over harvest.

I have observed that in New York,

over harvesting has a special name.

It's called shopping.

Would you like change?

How much you got?

No. We want a suit.

A suit?

Okay. Am I being filmed?

- What?

- What?

- What?

- What?

- What?

- What?

We just want a suit, please.

- Yes, I heard that, but...

- But what, Tinkerbell?

We want a frickin' suit! You need me

to slap the wax out of your ears?

You want to try it, sister?

I chose to let that comment slide.

To be the bigger person

in this situation.

I hate you!

We decided on somewhere

a little more reasonable.

Okay, let's shop.

Hey! Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Tyler, sit down.

Okay.

Presenting, Theo.

Don't he look fly?

- He looks so good. I would just...

- Yeah, super fly.

You got the suit. I got the plan.

Now all these degenerates

you've been talking to around town,

I think they just might come in handy.

Alright, I got your back.

Don't take no for an answer

and keep your eyes peeled.

You're not coming in with me?

I think one freak at a time

is all they can handle.

Come here.

You can do this, Theo.

- Just be you. Good luck.

- All right.

Sorry.

- Which one?

- Your first name.

My first name...

The day I was born in an igloo,

my mother gave me a name,

naming me after her mother, Julia.

Why were you at the U.N.?

Because I was on a mission.

A mission.

You realize that just barging

into the U.N. is illegal.

No.

Well, you know...

you call the King, the King.

You call the Queen the Queen.

You call Mr. Sweet...

- Mr. Sweet?

- ...Mr. Sweet.

- Mr. Sweet?

- Yes, sir.

What is your given name?

Tyler.

You're in trouble.

Why were you at the U.N.?

What is her relation to you?

- What's her name?

- Her name is Chloe.

Chloe is not violent.

I didn't mean to break the law,

but your stupid guards got in my way.

We were trying to get in

to talk to the Elders,

but for some reason

they wouldn't let us in.

Who were the people that you

showed up to the U.N. with?

Who are these people?

They're my friends. They're my tribe.

They're my nation.

The sun is going

to create chaos in the world.

We have angered the sun.

So your message is based

on the sun's anger?

And you're being sent by...

a group of people to the U.N.?

You were going there to hurt someone.

- No! I was not...

- Let me tell you what I think.

You were going there to hurt someone.

Do you understand what's going on here?

I want to know why you

and the rest of your party

decided to go to the U.N. unauthorized.

You have serious problems.

Why are you here?

That's what I need to know.

- I'm not playing games with you.

- I'm not...

You are in serous trouble.

- Let go of me!

- Chloe?

I came to deliver a message

from the Inuit people.

Are you listening?

I screwed everything up,

like I always do.

Hey, yo.

How's the Eskimo, man?

Hey.

Hi. Did you talk with the police?

Yes, my lawyers did. Are you alright?

I have some friends still in there.

I know, I know. And I'm not sure

what I can do for them

because we have to see

what they're charged with, but...

the young girl,

she might be in a little trouble.

Can we go some place and talk?

You know, I heard your story

about the sun.

I was listening at the U.N.

and I found it fascinating.

I was sent here to deliver a message.

But...

The message I should be delivering

is to my own people.

What is the message?

We are too late.

Your leaders don't have the power

to change anything.

Your television sets

have the real power.

They compel you to buy things

that you do not need.

And envy things that are worthless.

They tell you to drive cars

that cannot even move

because everyone else is driving one,

in cities where there is no clean air.

They mock the way you look...

and affect your happiness.

What can your leaders do

about your nature,

when it is so corrupted

that when you live each day,

it's based on consuming,

devouring and wasting?

Never happy until nothing is left.

My message should be for my own people.

We must prepare for the sun's kiss...

for it is surely coming

sooner than we think.

Theo! Wait...

if you would agree to say exactly

what you just said in front of an audience,

I swear that I will do everything

in my power to get your friends out of jail.

Look, here's my card.

If you agree, that's my address.

I heard what happened today.

Are you pleased?

No.

So what next?

I have Chloe's pictures.

Should I return...

That's not what I'm talking about.

No, I mean, what are you going to do?

I feel I should go home.

Really? Go home?

No, no, no, no, no.

That's not an option.

You're the one that got

their hearts into this.

I'm not saying that's a bad thing,

I mean, alright...

Look around you. This is what we got.

It's never going to get

any better than this.

But you... you come into our lives,

it's different. Everything changes.

For a minute, they get to feel

like they were somebody.

They're not thinking about what they can't

do, they're thinking about what they can.

You inspired them.

You need to fix this.

You started it, you finish it.

You understand me?

Good job.

So we talked almost all night.

Monica wants to organize an event,

so the leaders of the south

can hear my message.

And I couldn't wait to share

the good news with my friends.

Theo!

- Please have as much as you'd like.

- Check this out.

Persian,

about mid-eighteen century.

From the look of it,

it's got to weigh at least 60 pounds.

Well, I don't know how much

it weighs actually, but...

you're dead on about the country of origin

and the age. How did you know that?

I used to be in the rug business
