Clean, Shaven Page #3

Synopsis: Peter Winter is a young schizophrenic who is desperately trying to get his daughter back from her adoptive family. He attempts to function in a world that, for him, is filled with strange voices, electrical noise, disconcerting images, and jarringly sudden emotional shifts. He clings to his humanity like a raft, barely afloat in a sea of terror. In a brief moment of congruence, he shatters his image reflected in a window, perhaps to more properly align it with his fragmented psyche. During his quest, he runs afoul of the law and an ongoing murder investigation.

Well, do something about it:

All you gotta do is get up

and go through me to get him:

I regret every f***in'day I been here:

You'd have to be a f***in'fool not to take it:

- I wouldn't be here:

- [Man #2] This ain't no playground:!

We play for keeps in here:

And I'll kill you:

He was in the library,

and he came up behind me: : :

And he just frightened me to death:

- I'm so glad you're here:

- [McNally] Did he do anything to you?

Well, he didn't really do anything,

but he made me think: : :

That he was going to do

something bad to me:

- I see:

- So, are you going to protect us?

- Are you going to be here? I mean...

- Oh, yes:
I'll be here for a while: Quite a while:

Hi, Gladys:
I'm sorry we're late:

How are you?

Give your grandmother a kiss:

Go sit right over there:

When I was your age, a child wasn't allowed

to speak until their elders spoke to them:

My, she's becoming

a quiet child, isn't she?

I guess she has:

Haven't you?

[Woman]

Nicole:

Why doesn't my grandmother like me?

Now listen to me:

Your grandmother loves you very much:

Nicky, we've been through this

many times before:

Well, why can't I live with her?

Your grandmother still wants you

to live with her, but she's an older woman now:

And besides, now you have me:

You're not my mother:

I am your mother:

My mother is dead:

You always play by yourself?

Sometimes:

Well, maybe...

Maybe we could play together:

Maybe:

Hey:

You want to go to the beach?

Would you like that?

Let's go to the beach, okay?

[Keys Jingle]

Oh, it doesn't work:

You don't have a very nice car:

Ready?

Yes:

[Engine Starts]

You like the radio?

- Yes:

I don't know:

Is my mother really dead?

Yes:

What was she like?

She was...

She wasn't like anyone else:

She was different: Uh...

Really different:

[Static]

There's a lot of people

That's where I've been while

you've been growing up:

I was in a... in a hospital bed,

and I had been operated on:

And they had put a...

a small receiver in the back of my head

and a transmitter in my finger:

Know what they are?

- A radio?

- Yeah:
Radio:

Anyway, to get at the...

the transmitter,

I had to take my fingernail off:

How would you do that?

How did I take it off? I...

I feel better:

I can... I think clearer:

But I still have to get

the receiver out of my head:

If I could just slow down a little bit: : :

I know I could come up with a solution:
