Elephant Song Page #6

Miss Peterson, I found James.

I miss you.

Mm-mmm. No! No.

No, on the contrary,

I've been really, really good.

No. He even gave me 3 choc...

He gave me 4 chocolates

for my good behaviour.

He's in Port Francis. He's fine.

He left a note that Michael took.

The ones you got for Christmas.

James' sister had a stroke?

Remember?

Wait, we're missing

something here.

Those sound like crocodile tears.

That doesn't change anything.

I love you.

I wanted to talk to him!

Oh! Sorry!

You just gave that to him?

- Mm-hmm.

- Why'?

Why do you always

think the worst of me?

Because I know you.

I cannot believe this.

Yeah, this is Dr. Greene

for Dr. Lawrence again, pl...

Yeah, I can hold.

Did you eat these, Michael?

Did you eat those?

Unlike elephants,

nuts are really not good for me.

Hang up!

We need adrenaline right now!

- Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey! Just...

- Don't move! Michael!

- Don't!

- Michael, calm down!

Please don't!

- Please don't!

- Calm down!

- Move!

- Take it easy!

Get the adrenaline!

Michael, come on.

Look at me. Look!

Look, look, look!

You just have to breathe.

He's coming right now.

Ah!

Just, easy...

Stay right here. Stay!

What's his pulse?

Very weak.

Just wait, Michael.

Michael, come on!

Dr. Greene is here.

Come on, Michael!

Just breathe! Breathe!

Come on!

You're coming back.

You're coming back, Michael.

Come on. Come on!

It's not work...

- It's gone! It's gone! Gone!

- Come on! Come on!

No, no, no, no! No!

Stop! Stop!

Stop!

Michael! Mich...

Michael!

No!

No!

Forgive me!

Forgive me!

Oh, God! Forgive me!

Oh!

"Forgive me."

Those were his exact words?

OK...

I think it might be best if you took

a couple of weeks off just to...

Piece myself back together.

- Yes, exactly.

- Good.

Uh, now we'll have

to call it a leave of absence

or a sabbatical

or something like that.

- Yeah. Right.

- Uh-huh.

The timing of this

won't reflect well on us.

James!

Oh, hey! How are you?

I'm all right.

How are you?

All right.

They called me to let me know

no one has come to claim his things.

Over all the years

as a psychiatrist,

I never once set foot

in a patient's room.

You're probably not the only one.

We're gonna miss you, Toby.

- News travels fast.

- Mm-hmm.

That's kind of you to say so.

You know, I always suspected

that I wasn't much

of a shrink, you know?

And Michael made me believe

I had it in me.

But he knew

the emperor had no clothes.

Am Un lphant,

ga trompe! Ga trompe!

It's a pun. Trompe means

"an elephant's trunk,"

but it's also the verb "to deceive."

- The cheeky bastard!

- Mm-hmm.

I'd like to ask you

an indiscreet question.

Yes...

I loved him.

But not in the way

he wanted, of course.

That may be hard to understand.

No.

No. It isn't.

You know, I often...

I have this recurring dream

about Rachel

where the doorbell rings,

and I go to the door,

and she's standing there

in this pretty dress

that I last saw her in.

You know, then I wake up, and...

all I can see is her tiny, little body

just sprawled out on the dock.

And then, nothing...
