Eat Page #4

A new patient in

the morning, so.

I will give you my number.

That way you don't have to

call if you don't want to.

It's a win-win situation

for you, you know?

Well I appreciate the

option, but I will call.

Great.

So what, you're boyfriend's...

Oh god no, they're

just a tab for the night.

Really?

That's probably not the

safest way to get a drink.

It's the cheapest though.

(Laughing)

Just so you know,

if we do go out,

You can have whatever you want.

You don't have to slip out

back afterwards, either.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Okay, well I'm going to

quit while I'm still ahead.

I will call you

soon, Dr. Simon.

Talk to you then.

Novella McClure.

(Muffled voice from bathroom)

Yeah, and now you can

go, just like I said.

[Bathroom girl] It

took you long enough,

Did you get it all?

You wanna take

it outside, b*tch?

[Bathroom girl]

F*** off, b*tch!

That's what I thought.

F***ing b*tch.

Everything okay?

Yeah, it's fine,

there's just some hipster

B*tch in the bathroom

starting sh*t.

Let's just go, come on.

Uh, do you remember what...

I know where the

car is, come here.

It's this way.

Oh.

Those guys were

like stupid douchey.

Well they were a**holes.

Dude, I feel pretty

drunk right now.

Are you okay to drive?

Yeah I just, well I

don't know, I feel kind of

F***ed up, but just

give me the key.

Sh*t.

Me too.

Oh, sh*t.

(Muffled background noise)

Something's wrong.

There you are!

Ha ha ha ha!

I told you not to run

away from me, Stumpy.

Candice, sh*t, we

have to get out of here!

We've been buying

you little girls drinks

All night long.

And here you are,

trying to run out on us.

Ron kind of figured

you were gonna do that.

I thought you might

need a little something,

Extra, to get you in the mood.

Extra, extra!

It'll be okay baby girl, okay?

So remember when I said

I wanted to lick you?

Well now you are gonna lick me.

Rub along those teeth like

that, just brushin' 'em...

Do what he says, okay?

What?!

I like this one.

F*** yeah!

Oh, god I can't

wait to f*** you.

It'll be fun, just

do what he says.

Yeah, come on, just do it.

Listen to your friend, come

on, come on just suck it.

Suck it, slut!

Here, allow me.

Aaaahhhh!

Novi, get in the car.

(Novi screaming)

Why did you do that?!

I don't know, they

were f***ing rapists,

What the f*** was

I supposed to do?

Could you at least tell me?

It was kind of a

last-minute decision, Novella!

Candice, we're

gonna get arrested!

We're not gonna get

arrested, we're gonna go home!

(Screaming)

Oh my god!

(Tires squealing)

(Men moaning and screaming)

(Faint police sirens)

I still feel kinda woozy.

Is it okay if I crash

in your bed tonight?

You're supposed to, remember?

Are you okay?

You look kinda sick.

What the f*** was that?

You know that I carry a gun.

Yeah but you never use it.

Well I do when two a**holes

are about to rape us!

You know what?

I really don't feel great.

I'm just...

I'm gonna go lay down.

You're welcome?

By the way.

Yeah, thanks.

Oh, ow.

Ow.

Ow.

Candice!

Ow.

Candice, I need your help.

What's wrong?

I feel like I'm starving.

Well go get something to eat.

No, I think it's

worse than that.

I need you to take

me to the hospital.

Ugh, we'll go first

thing in the morning

And we'll get burgers and stuff.

No...

Candice, wake up.

God dammit!

Wake up.

(Novi sobbing and

breathing raggedly)

Ow, ow!

Ow!

Ow!

(Novi moaning and screaming)

(Shrill static)

Novi, be back at seven,

hope you're feeling better,

Good luck at your audition.

Audition?

F***!

(Ragged breathing)

Novella?

We, have been looking

forward to meeting you.

Thanks, I've been looking

forward to this as well.

Uh, I hope you don't

mind my asking, but uh,

What happened to your hand?

Oh, I was in a car

accident a few days ago.

Jeez, is everything okay?

Yeah, I just hurt

my arm and my foot.

It's no big deal.

Did it hurt your eyes?

Oh, sorry.

So, I explained a

little bit about this

In the email, but

we're still looking

For our lead actress and we

think you have the perfect look.

Awesome.

You did get the email, right?

Sorry, I haven't read it yet.

Oh, that's okay, it had

a couple sides in there

For you to read, but you have

something prepared, right?

Yeah, I have a

monologue I did for a play

A few years back.

Sounds awesome.

(Novi sighs)

They look at me

as if I'm not there.

They listen to me

as if I don't speak.

As I walk through the

darkness of my life,

All I can hope for

is to find the light.

No one knows who I

am, or what I can be.

What I can become, only I do.

And I fight, and

I climb, and I try

With every ounce of

strength in my body

To break down these walls.

But it's never enough.

My heart hammers at my chest,

Begging to escape,

pounding so hard it hurts.

It hurts unlike any pain

I've ever felt before.

And I have felt a lot.

One day I will show

the world who I am,

Not the person they see,

but the person I am.

I will find the light.

They will see me.

They will hear me.

They will see me.

(Laughing)

That was amazing,

seriously, did Steve

Put you up to this?

Who's Steve?

Oh, Novella honey, you

didn't get the email, did you?

No, why?

We're making Anal Alien 7,

not f***ing Hamlet, sweetheart.

I was a little excited

there for a second

I was like, monologue

from a play?

F*** yeah, I love porno plays!

Yeah, Novella.

Do you do anal?

(Sad music)

Hi Novella.

Hey Simon, what are you...

Oh my god.

It's okay, come on in.

Jesus, I didn't

even think about this.

It'll be alright, I promise.

Step in my office, please.

F***.

Dr. Simon.

Oh, sh*t.

Can I get you

something to drink?

No.

Anything that would make

you feel more comfortable?

I'm pretty sure nothing can

make this more comfortable.

Fair enough.

Okay, um, where to start?

Simon, seriously,

I wasn't too thrilled

About this whole

thing to begin with,

And I know that I'm required

to talk with a shrink,

But this isn't gonna work.

Besides, I've had

the shittiest day...

Okay, I know.

I know.

Look, I take suicide

patients from the hospital

So rarely, but they

offer them to me, okay?

They give me a list of

files, they ask if I want

To take any of them on pro Bono.

And I saw your name on the

list, I thought I could help.

Well this isn't what I had

in mind for a first date.

Me neither.

Look I like you.

I don't even know

you, and I like you.

But when I saw that you

tried to kill yourself...

I didn't try to kill myself.

Right.

Can of peaches try to take

a bite out of your arm?

Novella, you're a

beautiful woman, alright?

And I know we've only

talked a few times,

But you're an incredible person.

I help people, every day,

people who don't deserve it.

You need help, alright

not because you're crazy

Or suicidal, or

anything like that.

I wanted to help you because

you should have never

Felt like you needed

to leave this world.

It's better with you in it.
