Goodbye World Page #8

Synopsis: James and Lily, estranged from society, live off the grid, raising their young daughter in a cocoon of comfort and sustainability. When a mysterious mass text ripples its way across the country, triggering a crippling, apocalyptic cyber attack, their home transitions from sheltered modern oasis to a fortress for the estranged old friends that show up at their door for protection and community. The unexpected reunion--abundant with revelry and remembrances, generously enhanced by organic wine and weed--is quickly undermined by the slights of the past, the spark of lingering flirtations and the threat of a locally grown new world order. Balancing tense confrontations with slivers of levity, director Denis Henry Hennelly pinpoints a future where ideology explodes into action in every area.

bash its head in.

Why did you just tell me that?

Because I believe in hell.

And I know evil exists.

I mean, I've...

But I also know that good

is stronger than evil.

Which is why I survived.

Becky...

I got to tell you something.

What?

Is there anything you

want to tell me?

I don't think so.

You should just say it.

I don't...

I don't know what...

If you still loved her

why did you marry me?

Is that why we're here?

You thought you had

another chance with her?

So you kissed her.

Yes.

And now?

Sorry.

You promised me.

You promised God.

Don't touch me.

Don't you ever touch me again.

It's perfectly clear that

none of you liked me then,

and none of you like me now.

Nick, you have to go.

I don't want to see you here.

I don't want you

around my daughter,

and I don't want you

around my wife.

Actually, James, I

think you need to go.

Nick, don't.

You want him or you want me?

You wanted a divorce.

You're clearly running

around with Nick.

So you get what you want.

But you don't get the house.

Don't be here when I get back.

Where's the fridge, a**hole?

Hey, I'm talking to you!

I'm here to talk to my neighbours.

Oh, so now we're your neighbours.

Yeah. When did it

start becoming okay

to steal and threaten each other?

No one stole sh*t from you, dude.

Yesterday your soldier

buddies came into my house

and took some wine and chocolate.

F*** you, man.

We're eating Spam down here.

Whatever you've got to say,

James, you better say it fast.

If I give you our medicine,

what's to stop these guys

from selling it?

And using it to control you?

Anybody who is sick can

come up to my house

and you will be given care.

So you get to decide to

who gets the medicine

and who doesn't?

I stocked up on that stuff.

I get a little say

on how it's used.

Sounds like death kennels.

That's not what I'm saying.

My point is that if we...

What's your point?

This man is a criminal.

He didn't help our

friend Donny over here

when he was being robbed.

He just drove off.

He put us all at risk

storing away his medicine.

This is the kind of person

I've been talking about.

People who take advantage.

It is time that we

send a clear message.

That we are not going to bow.

To people of this type anymore.

No. no, please.

Please don't do this. I'm...

F***.

The time is now near at hand...

That must probably determine

whether Americans will be free men

or slaves.

The fate of unborn millions

will now depend under God

on the courage and

conduct of this army.

We must therefore resolve

to conquer or die.

What the f*** are you talking

about? Conquer who?

The enemy is us.

Each moment is an agreement.

An agreement to live in a

certain kind of world,

which is the way it's always been.

We've just pretended

like it wasn't.

This is half of our medicine.

From now on we work together.

Thank you.

Don't.

I just killed somebody!

James, I just killed somebody!

I just killed somebody!

You just saved my life.

You saved my life.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Lily.

Hannah.

Oh!

I love you, Hannah-bear.

Where's Lily?

We need to find a place

to camp before nightfall.

We can't go back.

I have to, Nick.

Because of Hannah?

Yeah.

And because of James.

Nick, come back.

Please.

I have always been there for you!

When you wanted to start a

company I found the money.

When you were going to lose

the house I stepped in.

When have you ever

been there for me?

You don't get to have it both ways.

You don't get to

break my heart again

and still be my friend.

You really feel like

that's what's happened?

Yes!

That's bullshit!

You want what you want,

and you're not willing to

see what's in front of you,

which is a good f***ing friend.

I love you.

As what? As...

As a friend?

That's bullshit.

It's not bullshit.

It's real.

Come on.

I don't like myself

very much anymore.

Goodbye, bear.

Goodbye, Nick.

Goodbye, world.

She asked me where you were.

And I couldn't answer.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

Me too.

Do you think...

Do you think you could just

say that one more time,

just for the novelty of it?

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Say it again.

I'm sorry.

I'm so...

Thank you for telling me.

I don't feel good about it.

I don't think it's snitching

if you're doing it to keep

someone from getting hurt.

Where are you going?

I don't know.

But there's someone out

there that needs help.

And I can't stay here

knowing that they're hoping

for someone to come.

Like the way you came for me.

No justice.

Just us, right?

I don't want to say goodbye to you.

So don't.

Are you sure you can

handle a convicted felon?

You sure you can

handle a grown woman?

Only one way to find out.

The daily bubble!

James!

It's time for you-know-what.

Nick.

You want to do the honours?

One, two,

three, four, five,

six, seven, eight,

nine, ten, eleven,

twelve...

Sleep don't visit

So I choke on sun

And the days blur into one

Backs of my eyes

Hum with things I've never done

Sheets are swaying

From an old clothesline

Like a row of captured ghosts

Over old dead grass

Was never much, but

we've made the most

Welcome home

Ships are launching

From my chest

Some have names but most do not

If you find one,

please let me know

What piece I've lost

Peel the scars

From off my back

I don't need them anymore

You can throw them out

Or keep them in your mason jars

I've come home

All my nightmares

Escape my head

Bar the door

Please don't let them in

You were never

Supposed to leave

Now my head's splitting

At the seams

And I don't know
