Coherence Page #6

I saw Amir, I saw Hugh,

and I saw Lee.

Okay. Lee's not here right now.

- She's taking a nap.

- What do you mean, she's taking a nap?

- So, it's different, then.

- Something's off. It's not the same.

In this reality, Lee's napping.

Maybe in that reality,

you're napping?

So, that's why Mike didn't see her.

Right, and if Beth is

napping in that reality...

they don't have the book.

- They don't.

- Right.

The other house doesn't

have the book.

And if they don't have the book,

they're not having this

conversation right now.

So, then if we get the

book from the car...

then we can avoid all this.

- Take it? Take their book?

- It's a possibility.

- Hugh, give me your keys.

- No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait.

We're not supposed to

mess with any of this.

Why would we even risk this?

- He's talking about going over and fighting them.

- But why make it worse?

Because then I don't have to

go over there and kill them.

Just give me the keys.

No. I don't think that

we should do anything.

And you are not taking my keys.

Where you going, Mike?

How do we know it's exactly us?

What if it's just externals? What if...

- The dark side of us.

- Yeah.

It's us, you guys. You mean,

the not friendly versions?

Well, if it's us, then this

could be... Is it a good thing?

It sounds like it would

be a way to reach...

higher consciousness,

if we want to...

Like an acceptance of ourselves?

Well, yeah. We always talk about meeting

ourselves and finding ourselves,

and here we have an opportunity...

to actually physically

find ourselves.

That's a lot of pressure.

- Look who's joined us.

- Hi, everybody.

How are you, honey? Okay.

Welcome back to your

own dinner party.

Yeah. How's my dinner party going?

Super missed you. It's going.

I have an idea.

I have an idea that

will prevent them...

from getting the book from the car.

What are you talking about, man?

I'm gonna go to that house,

and I'm gonna blackmail myself.

I'm gonna leave a

note to keep Mike...

from having them go to

the car to get that book.

What do you mean, a blackmail note?

Something I know that

I don't want revealed.

What are you talking about?

The thing with Beth.

The thing with Beth?

I thought you and Hugh

worked that out years ago.

This is the worst

idea I've ever heard.

It's amazing, 'cause

it would work on me.

- Going over there...

- It's the same person.

We don't... You don't know that.

This will pass. It's brilliant.

- No. It is not brilliant.

- It's brilliant.

Dude, no. I know this

look in your eye.

Mike, no.

Why would he even say that?

Divergence. Otherwise,

it's just the same people.

And if it's the same people,

then why not just leave

each other alone?

That's what I would want me to do.

That might be the best thing to do.

Right? You doing okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know if I'm woozy from

the drops or if it's like...

- What drops?

- What drops?

- Um...

- Did you give her...

Yeah, well.

She wanted to take...

I just felt so weird before.

- It's this stuff I brought, this rescue remedy.

- What is it?

It's got echinacea, golden seal,

passion flower and a little ketamine.

I swear to God.

- Ketamine?

- A little ketamine?

- It's not like you're going to go into this...

- Beth.

- What?

- I'm so sorry if I'm wrong here...

and I'm saying something

incredibly inappropriate.

What?

Did you put any of that in the food?

Yes. That would explain a lot.

Lee asked me for some.

Oh, come on, Amir.

Are you serious?

I had to ask.

She asked to take some

and I gave her some.

When we did the mushrooms years ago,

we talked about it, and I put

them in the spaghetti sauce.

That was a group decision.

I know we agreed,

but I had to ask because...

You think that I would just

put drugs in your food?

Oh, my God.

Okay. I'll show you.

On top of all this,

you think I'd drug you?

I'll show you. Let's just

see how much is in there.

This is the vial I brought.

Yeah, and a quarter of it is gone.

But that's... She's had a

couple of drops out of it.

- That's it.

- This is, like, high-grade pharmaceutical...

It is watered down. You can't.

You opened it up and

watered it down?

Okay, but if you took enough of it,

isn't it true that you

would have hallucinations?

You would have to

have a massive dose.

You would have to take

the entire bottle.

Okay. Fine. But is it true?

Yes. Okay. And is it also true...

that one of the other

effects can be paranoia?

Yes, but you...

Again, you would have to have all of it.

The whole bottle. The whole bottle.

And it would never...

Even if all of us

took a bottle each,

it would never create

a mass hallucination.

- I'm not a criminal.

- It would be a nice conclusion right now.

Wouldn't this be great if

we were hallucinating?

- Well, it's not the explanation.

- Fine.

- I believe you.

- This is the bottle.

- She asked for it. I gave her some.

- Okay.

I-I did not drug your food.

- I did not drug your food.

- I...

- Get it?

- Lay off, okay?

I swear to God.

Thanks.

Hey, where'd you get this?

This is so cute.

Oh, I got it at, Galaxy.

That thrift store.

Oh, I love that place.

- That's great.

- They have such cute stuff.

I just... I need a drink.

Yeah.

Okay.

I just want to wake up and

start again, you know?

Blue.

It's not even cracked.

What are we gonna do?

We have to get the f*** out of here.

Okay.

- Okay. Let's take...

- Take the book.

- Take the book.

- Do we take the box?

- Take the box. This is what they...

- Take it.

Hey. You okay?

Where'd you go?

I need a drink.

Hey. What... Where'd you go?

I went to the house, dude.

- I told you.

- What happened?

I just dropped the letter off.

I saw the book.

I was gonna... I was gonna

smash the window...

and take the book.

I didn't do that, though.

I did not do that.

I just dropped off the

letter, and, um...

then I was gonna wait,

to see their reaction.

But I f***in' freaked out.

- You've been gone, like, five minutes.

- Like 45 minutes, dude.

- No. No. You talked to me.

- Bullshit.

You went in the kitchen.

You've been gone for

five, maybe 10 tops.

You're f***in' crazy.

Oh, Mike. Mike, don't do that.

- Oh, my God.

- Mike, what was...

Don't do this.

Mike, please? Why now?

Why not now, honey? Why not now?

- Where are Hugh and...

- We were in the kitchen.

Where's...

- Where's Hugh?

- Where's Amir?

More importantly, where's the box?

Oh, my God. They took the box.

Mike, where did they go?

I have no clue where they went.

You gotta be kidding.

You were in here. What happened?

Where's the book?

Where's the book?

Why would they bring

that to the other house?

They said they wanted to take it back

so they could make everything right.

They wanted to return it, so everything

would be fine from the beginning, but...

Why would they bring the book? It's

the one thing that we wouldn't...

- They took everything we have.

- Wait a minute.
