Excision Page #5

skin tastes Iike saIt.

Yuck.

( laughs )

WeII, if I ever do

get married some day,

l want you to be

my maid of honor.

This may seem a little bit

out of character for me,

but l want to thank you both

for putting up with me

the way that you have.

I tried to caII you

several times today.

What have l told you about not

picking up your phone?

Can we not do this right now?

l'm trying to have a heart to heart.

Yeah, let her speak.

I'm enjoying this.

Go ahead, sweetie.

l just want you both to know

that l plan on making you proud.

Being expelled from school forced

me to put things into perspective.

l'm turning my life around.

l realize...

it's not all about me anymore.

WeII, I'm gIad

to hear that, honey.

Sometimes it takes

hitting rock bottom

for us really to want

to make a change.

What your father

is trying to say,

is that we'll believe it

when we see it.

ln other news,

your father and l are gonna go into

the city tomorrow night for dinner.

Jennifer's gonna come over

and look after you girls.

Jennifer is two years older than me

and she's coming over to babysit?

Jennifer is a very

responsible young woman.

( coughing )

Call Dr. Gray!

l want to thank you

for providing me with the mental

and physicaI strength

to accomplish great things.

Thank you for beIieving

in me when no one else does.

Against my betterjudgment,

l guess what l'm trying

to say is

it's getting harder and harder

for me not to beIieve in you.

l'd ask you to put in a good

word with my parents,

but l've pretty much got

that taken care of.

( coughs )

I'm gonna be out

of reach for a while.

l hope you don't get lonely.

Amen.

( laughing )

You nearly slept the day away.

l need my eight hours.

Jennifer canceIIed, your father

is gonna stay and look after you girls.

He should be home any minute.

( car engine starts )

l made us some tea.

Since when do you drink tea?

Since l started reading

about anti-oxidants.

You're not getting any younger.

You should take better care

of yourseIf.

lf Mother cared about you

haIf as much as I do,

she'd make you

drink tea every day.

Look, Pauline.

You need to lay off your mother.

Everything she does,

she does out of love.

One day you'll understand.

l'm really sorry we got

off on the wrong foot.

l was hoping to make amends.

l've got some old jump ropes.

My sister can't use them

'cause of her lungs.

( muffled screams )

Grace?

You're not going to understand

what l'm about to do.

But someday

you'll thank me.

( muffled screams )

Hello.

Bob?

Bob, what happened?

Where's Grace? Bob!

Grace?

( muffled shouting )

Phyllis:

Gracie?

Gracie?

Gracie!

Come closer.

l want to show you the detailed

work l did on Grace's sutures.

lt's a mess, l know.

lt's just my first surgery.

l haven't perfected

my technique.

What have you done?

What have I done?

You mean, with the other one?

l didn't know what to do

with her body

after l successfully

retrieved the lung.

So l practiced my incisions.

You have to take

a closer look, Mom.

She is extraordinary.

( shrieking )

( screams )

( sobbing )

( wailing )

( screams )

Move back towards me

And teII me,

break into me

l don't hear

That said too much

To me any more

There was a block, a snack

Can't you change away

Between us and you

There's still

Save us from yourself

Come on girl

lt's a plastic knife

And you'll look

Nothing like you

did last night

Come on, girl

You'll be my dear

My waterflower

Whenever you are

We want to discuss

The after news within

The afternoon

We won't discuss

The night times within

The night time

Back towards me

And tell me l'm not

looking for anyone

l don't hear that said too much

To me anymore

Come on, girl

You'll be my dear

My waterflower

My little thing girl

Come on, girl

lt's a plastic knife

And you'll feel nothing

Like you did last night.

You sleep for the peace

But the peace will never come

'Cause you wake up alone

And you're a sweaty mess

He's there with you at night

And in the morning he is gone

lt's driving you insane

But it's better

than having no one

You're sleepless,

you're restless

This will never go away

You're shutting the blinds

You're sleeping all day

lt's over it's finished

l want to throw up

on your face

Leave me alone

Give me my space

You know it's getting bad

When you wanna just collapse

So you smoke a little bit

To try and help you relax.
