Darkroom Page #2

No, no, no, the night's over, I just...

Done.

Okay.

What would you have

done to that guy?

Oh, sh*t!

Michelle,

should you be driving?

I am fine, okay?

It's my ride, my rules.

Let go of me.

No!

Stay the f*** away from me!

What do you want with me?

Stay the f*** away from me!

No!

I told you she was a dirty girl.

You b*tch!

The Lord hates a crude tongue.

Patience, sister.

No!

Welcome to my little fun house.

Isn't that right, Daniel?

We had so much fun here as kids.

Why are you doing this to me?

I didn't do anything to you.

We got plenty of time

to answer that question.

F*** you!

What's wrong with you?

What's wrong with me?

What is wrong with you?

You put me in a very bad position.

I can't keep protecting you.

Stop it.

Daniel knows his role.

He better know his role.

This is your responsibility

to teach him.

We can't take care of him forever.

I have work to do.

Go be eyes and ears.

Don't ever talk that way

in front of him again.

Know your place.

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Is someone there?

Yes.

Who is this?

My name is Jean Balfour.

Jean?

Oh, my God, it's Michelle.

Michelle.

Oh, my God.

We gotta get out of here.

These people are nuts.

Um...

Is there anything in your room?

Anything at all?

Just a chair.

I'm wearing some

stupid green dress.

My God,

I think they're gonna kill us.

They're not gonna kill us.

We're gonna get out of this room.

How?

I don't know.

I just...

I need to think.

Oh, God!

Oh, God.

Michelle!

Michelle, help!

Wait, what are you...

Wait!

What are you doing?

Oh, no, no, no, no!

Please!

Please!

Leave her alone!

No! Stop it!

Let her go!

Jean!

Hey!

Jean!

Hello?

God!

Sweetheart.

I have something for you.

Not so fast.

You have to sing for your supper.

Give me the food, b*tch.

Tsk, tsk.

The Lord hates a crude tongue.

Now let's remain

lady-like, shall we?

Shall we leave you in the dark?

No, no, no just...

I'm sorry.

I'm just really hungry.

Shut up!

Now do as I say.

Go to chair and sit.

Who's a dirty girl?

Who's a dirty girl?

Please just tell me

what you want me to do.

Who's a dirty girl,

you little slut?

Me.

Me!

Mmm...

We gotta get out of here, okay?

Easy, easy.

Okay.

Help me.

Please don't leave.

You have to help me, okay?

I wish...

You can make it. Go.

I can't go.

I can't go!

Go.

Michelle...

I can't go!

Go.

I'm sorry.

You can make it.

You can make it.

You left me there, Michelle.

Lauren.

It wasn't my fault, Lauren.

Help, please!

I was worried they put too

much medicine in your food.

My brother and sister are angry,

that's all.

I need to...

I need to get up.

Here, I can help.

What is it?

You sniff this.

It'll make the nightmares go away.

Feel better?

Mmm...

Do you want to see my scar?

I saw yours and that's how

I knew we would be friends.

I haven't shown this to anyone,

but we have a real connection

I got this a long time ago.

That's right, Daniel.

We have a connection.

You want to be friends, right?

We need to help each other

get out of here, together.

I don't think that can happen.

That's between Larry and Rachel.

We can stay here, though.

You people are f***ing crazy!

Don't call me that.

That is not nice.

This is our funhouse,

like my brother said.

Daniel?

Larry, please.

I was just...

You see what you've done to him?

Michelle...

Wakey-wakey.

Since you bullied my brother...

Now I'm gonna bully you.

I didn't bully him.

Choose.

I don't want to.

Choose or you get both.

Hmm?

Okay.

Michelle?

No!

Larry, she's getting away!

Larry!

Help me!

Don't go!

Please, come back.

No!

Just wait till your sister

gets home, you moron!

All right, little girl.

There's no way out!

Help!

Help me, please!

Help me.

Okay.

Help.

What did he do?

He helped one of them with food.

She's in the ceiling...

Like a little b*tch.

A little rat b*tch!

But he's sorry now.

Right, Daniel?

You can turn around.

I'll get the whore.

Don't bother.

She can't escape.

I made sure.

She'll be down soon enough.

There's someone down the hallway

who needs your attention.

Oh, yeah, right.

Oh, my God.

Is that Jean?

Jean.

I don't get it, Daniel.

What's gotten into you?

Is it the new whore?

Is it her dirty body?

Parts?

I could cut them off?

Give them to you as an

early birthday present?

No, Larry.

That's not...

Honestly, Daniel, I sometimes

despair for your soul.

Are you worried about this?

You don't need to

worry about this.

It's for the dirty sinners.

Are you a dirty sinner, Daniel?

No, you're no sinner.

You're the most innocent of us.

Too innocent, hmm?

A little pain to remind

you of what's important.

We're family, Daniel.

It's all about the family, hmm?

I love you.

Jean?

Okay.

Come on.

Come on.

Larry!

Tickle Rachel.

Tickle Daniel!

Tickle Daniel!

Daniel!

Be nice, boys!

Play nice. Play nice.

Now children, who has sinned?

We have, Mother.

And who needs to be purged?

We all need purging.

Remember that.

What were you doing

in your room, Daniel?

Nothing, Mother.

Idle hands are the

Devil's playground.

You were looking at these

comics again, weren't you?

Is this a funhouse?

Do you know what God told

King David in the Bible?

He said, "Fear not.

And show courage."

"For your Father is

with you always."

Your superheroes act

bravely, Daniel.

It's what makes them special.

You're a little coward,

aren't you?

Open your shirt.

Mother, please!

Open your shirt!

Now! Now!

Open.

Oh, my God.

What are you telling me?

I started to bleed.

From your private area?

I hoped you wouldn't

be touched by this.

But you're a dirty little girl.

Say it!

What are you?

A dirty girl.

I can't hear you.

A dirty girl!

A dirty girl.

Thankless child...

You were supposed to put

together Mother's table.

You didn't do it right.

Mother got hurt.

I'm sorry, Mother.

That's all right.

But I think you know God's law.

What is it?

An eye for an eye.

I'm sorry, my child.

This is painful for me as well,

but you made your bed.

Now you have to lie in it.

Mother, no!

Oh, my God.

Ugh!

You have to confess.

Are you a sinner?

Are you a sinner?

No.

I am not a sinner.

Hmm?

But you are a sinner.

And you must confess your

sins in order to be free.

I am a sinner.

I want you to say it louder,

so you can get purged.

I am a sinner.

Louder.

I am a sinner.

Louder.

I am a sinner.

Louder.

I am a sinner...

Jean.

Jean!

Jean!

You're gonna be okay!

Oh, my God.

Come on, baby.

Come on!

Come on!

We're gonna go.

You're making it.

I can't do...

Back pocket!

Michelle!

Ssh...

You've been a very bad girl.

But everything's gonna

be okay now.

I'm gonna get the dirty

girl back to normal.

Pretty girl. Ssh.

Mommy loves you.

You are one resourceful girl.

Shoes are important.

Usually we take much longer.

Seeing it takes time to purge.

But since you messed up our

schedule with your stunt.

Choose.

Choose, or you get both.

Time to purge.

Praise the Lord.
