Erasing Eden Page #2

Synopsis: When Eden caves into social and familial pressures to marry Chris, she had no idea she was suppressing negative feelings about marriage until the night before her wedding. The last thing Eden remembers is ripping into one of her wedding presents and downing an entire bottle of scotch. Waking up in the desert beaten nearly to death, Eden has no idea how she got there, but is determined to get herself to the wedding on time. With a broken jaw, she is now a mute ward of the lonely underworld of Los Angeles. Pridefully taking this journey alone, she finds kindness in the most unlikely places.

- Do you need a ride?

Do you need a ride?

Do you wanna go some place?

Are you okay?

Jesus f***ing Christ, lady.

Why don't you get on?

I'll give you a ride.

You can't just

wander around here.

Where you goin'?

You want a ride?

- Are you gonna get

your brakes fixed?

- You can go on in.

Everybody's welcome.

It's okay.

- My brothers and my sisters.

Give us the strength

and the courage

to make the right choices,

to fight the good

fight in your name.

Can I get an amen?

- Amen.

- Are you tired

of the sufferin'?

- Yeah.

- When I was thirsty,

you gave me drink.

When I was a stranger,

you welcomed me.

When I was naked,

you clothed me.

When I was in prison,

you came to me.

- Yeah.

Amen.

Matthew 25:
35.

You are your actions.

In this life, you

reap what you sow.

For you are the

salt of the earth,

but a salt has lost its taste,

how shall it gain its saltiness?

It's no longer good for anything

other than being

thrown on the ground

and trampled under

people's feet.

So when you compromise yourself,

you open up the door

for other people

to walk all over you.

- Amen.

- You gotta fight

for you at all costs.

- What's up brother?

Oh, this is the new person.

Maybe we should have

Lila help her out.

Everything's gonna be okay.

You go with my wife Lila here,

and she'll take care of ya.

I know the kind of

trouble you're in.

We can help.

- You can change in the

bathroom down the hall.

- Hello, would

you like to leave a message?

- Eden's daily message.

Please have the

strength and Serenity

to be who the f*** you are.

- Hey, let me just wrap this up,

and I'll take you, okay?

The password's forsaken.

I could give you a ride

as far as Chavez ravine.

I'm not sure how long

this is gonna take.

- Hello, would

you like to leave a message?

- Hey, Eden, this is me, Eden,

the wedding's tomorrow,

and you just, and you

just need to have a...

Okay, never mind.

Sh*t.

Hey Eden, this is the

daily message to myself.

It's your day tomorrow,

and you deserve it,

so stay on track, don't rebel,

you're worth it,

you're good enough.

Fake it till you make it.

You hear me?

Oh my f***ing god.

This is so stupid.

Look what we got here.

- We got real.

- Hello, would

you like to leave a message?

- Eden's daily message.

I'm gettin' married tomorrow,

and I'm gonna stand

up, and I'm gonna...

Tell everybody that I am...

A liar, and I do not

deserve anything.

And I don't deserve it,

because I don't really want it.

And I live

a charade,

and before I did this sh*t,

I was perfect.

- Can I help you?

Oh.

So we took it way in

here on both sides,

and we covered it with lace,

and so you can't even see it.

So there you go.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Oh my god.

That man was here

looking for you.

- Christopher.

- Yesterday.

A big, big man.

Yes, I ordered a

cake for a wedding.

Christopher, Christopher parks.

Parks.

Oh.

It's been delivered already.

Doc Wyler beach.

Thank you.

- Everybody's been called.

I still have to

call the tent place.

Chris is that your...

Oh my god.

- Hello.

- What?

What is it?

- It's her, she's okay.

What happened?

- Do you need anything?

- Congratulations, man.

She's a good girl.

She's got good heart.

- Thanks.

- You know what, I know you had

a rough ride as a kid, Chris,

but the future is all you, bro.

I wanna see you happy,

and no matter what

happens today,

I love you, man.

I want you to know that.

- Thank you.

- Chris, wait up.

Guys, hey guys.

Okay, you know that brides

sometimes don't show up

because they're shy, right?

It's an actual thing.

I don't know, it's like

stage fright or something.

- God, you're stupid.

- Hello, would

you like to leave a message?

- Hello Eden, it's Eden,

leaving you your daily message.

So, I just wanna say

that you're probably

feeling a little bit crazy,

but I just wanna remind

you that Chris loves you,

and tomorrow's gonna

be an amazing day.

So, you can do it.

Do it!

Woo!

Fake it till ya make it, girl.

F***.

- Congratulations!

- Hello, would

you like to leave a message?

- Hey Eden, this is me, Eden.

I'm leaving this

message to myself,

because I know you're losing it.

Your future mother in law

forced you to stay at her house.

Wedding tomorrow,

and you needed a drink.

Please remember how

sabotage you are

when good sh*t happens.

Don't f*** this up, Eden.

Please stay on track.

Do not rebel.

Just fake it till you make it.

That is so f***ing stupid.

This is me, Eden.

I know you're losing it.

I'm gettin' married tomorrow,

and I'm gonna stand up,

and I'm gonna tell everybody

that I am a liar.

Hey Eden.

If you really love yourself,

if you really wanna be happy,

then do what you

need to do to be you.

Eden, you are

a f***ing maniac.

But I love it.

I love that.

You know who you are,

so just be you regardless.

Yeah, start telling

yourself the truth.

Oh yeah, that's it.

I'm out.

- I've never done this

to a bride before.

I'll be careful.

- Ow.
