Girl Asleep Page #4

- Shh!

When you come to, he's

gonna try and take you away.

But that's not gonna

happen, all right?

- How do I get past him?

- I'll take care of him.

He won't hurt you,

but they will.

And they're gonna

be here any second.

Head east across the river.

Follow the boy and

don't turn back, okay?

Take this.

Wrap it tight,

it'll protect you.

And when you punch, punch hard.

Ready?

Go!

- No, what are you doing?

No!

- Go!

Run!

- Bonsoir, Greta.

- Benoit Tremet?

I'm sorry, I don't

understand French.

- And I don't

understand English.

- What?

- I'm sorry, Greta,

but this is my humor.

- Okay.

- Crazy party, huh?

Lucky you fell asleep.

- Me?

- Yes, you.

You are in the snooze mode.

I don't blame you.

Parties can be hell.

- I can't be asleep.

- Si.

Like a baby.

- Where are we, then?

- We are in your bedroom.

Just you and me.

- I, I don't understand.

I, I have to find my music box.

- Oh, ma petite.

That song is no

good to you anymore.

This song,

my song, can be yours now.

All yours, ma Cherie.

- But I don't want your song.

I want my own.

- Mmm.

You look so beautiful

in that dress.

Oof, track Deux.

Now we're talking.

Such incroyable beauty.

I can hardly control my desire

when I see such a

beautiful woman.

- This is making me

feel uncomfortable.

- Do you feel it too?

I know you do.

You feel it.

Just like I feel it.

You're my best friend

and I never wanna

risk our friendship.

- What the hell!

I wanna be more

than just friends.

You look amazing tonight Greta.

I wanna touch you all over.

I wanna touch you and kiss you

and make sweet, sweet love.

- This isn't happening,

you're not Elliott!

- Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.

Ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh, ssh.

Listen to your new song, Greta.

Feel it in your heart.

Feel it in your body.

- I don't want this.

- Yes, you do.

You do.

You came through

the gate, Greta.

You wanted to be here.

- F*** you!

- Only if you ask nice.

Now,

I'm gonna make you a woman.

- I'm sorry, Greta.

I'm so sorry!

- So, are you gonna come

rollerskating with us, or not?

Uh-uh, not this time.

- What if I don't feel like it?

- What do you think, pig?

- I don't care what you

guys do to me anymore.

Bring it on, b*tches!

- Give it back!

Are you deaf?

I said give it back!

Now!

Me?

You're me?

All this?

It was you?

- No, silly, it was you.

Can you stay with me

till I fall asleep?

You've got a splinter.

Got it.

- Hey.

Are you okay?

I know.

I heard.

- I did nothing to them.

- I know.

They're nasty, and

they're scared.

- No, they're not.

- Believe me, Greta, they are.

You remember when

I was turning 15,

and I stopped

talking to everyone?

I don't know what it was.

I just woke up one morning

and things were different.

It was like some new person

had turned up inside my body

and kicked the old one out.

And there was nothing

I could do about it.

I know what you're going

through now is sh*t.

Confusing and you're

pretty much hating it.

You're not alone, all right?

And this?

This never existed.

- Thanks, gen.

- Come on.

You should go downstairs,

otherwise Adam might

crack onto mum again.

- That was pretty.

- About before.

Sorry.

You go first.

- Okay.

You had no right to

call me a homo before.

I mean, there's absolutely

nothing wrong with being gay.

I'd be totally fine if

I was, but the point is,

a, I don't think you

meant it as a compliment,

and b, I actually do like girls.

I think about them way too much.

Like six or seven times a day,

I think about girls, and I,

well, wait.

- I get the point.

- Right.

Which brings me to my next point

which is that I declared

my interest for you.

- I'm sorry for what I said.

It was cruel.

- Right.

Good, okay.

I was gonna make

that point, too,

which I'm glad you've also made,

already.

- You're my best friend.

- That's what I thought.

- But you being my best friend

is the best thing

in the world to me.

You're so close to my heart.

- But what I said before, that

kind of changes things now,

doesn't it?

Between us?

- But that's okay, isn't it?

Things changing a bit.

- Yeah, I guess.

So, should we do it?

Should we go in?

- I guess.

Can I ask you a favor first?

- Greta?

Greta!

Greta!

- Oh my god, this

is so embarrassing.

I look so much better

in this dress than you!

What was that for?

- I'm glad you're my friend.

- Me too.

- Come on.

- Oh, there you are.

What in god's name?

- Hi, Janet.

- How's it going, Janet?

- I'm not even going to ask.

Quickly, your father's

about to do the cake.

- Mum?

- Hmm?

- Are you all right?

- Go.

- No, seriously.

Are you all right?

- Of course.

Go on.

- I like the shade of blue.

- Hip hip!

- Hooray!

- Hip!

- Hooray!

- Hey, I stayed up

all night last night.

- Really?

- I was wondering

where the sun went.

And then it dawned on me.

- Five.

- Five?

Why only five?

- Can we just not?

Please?

Half an hour, that's all I ask.

- Good donuts.

Donuts are the best,

don't ya think?

Awesome, awesome donuts.
