Imaginary Friend Page #3

...I mean, he told me I couldn't

go out, so I...

...so I guess I believed him.

Why did you always listen to him?

Because he knew what was best.

...I mean, he always said he knew

what was best for me.

Well, I think you would that

better then anyone.

Well, he's the doctor.

Well, maybe the medication the other

doctors have you on is really working.

Maybe it's giving you the strength.

No...

No, no, no, it's you.

You being here, is what saved me.

You've made me realize, how

strong I can be.

How strong I have to be.

I mean, Brad's answer for everything,

comes with a child proof lid.

Maybe he's wrong this time.

Maybe, he's always been wrong, and

I just needed...

...to realize that.

Can you be friends with something

that exist only in your mind?

I have been, my whole life.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- How was your day?

- It was great. I went shopping.

Do you want to eat on the patio?

- You went to town?

- Yeah.

Who'd you go with, your special friend?

No, and please don't say it like that.

You want me to get better,

and I'm really trying.

Yes, I do. I want you to get better.

He should tell you how good you look.

- These feelings you're having...

- Because you look great.

- They're delusional.

- Nice nails, new hair...

- They don't exist.

- Tell her, Brady.

When was the last time

that you saw her?

You told me to take control

of my life, right?

And, I'm doing that. I'm doing what you

said, I'm doing everything, you've said.

He is a bit of a pill pusher, isn't he?

- Yes.

- Yes, what?

Yes, I'm taking my medication.

I love your new hair cut, by the way.

Thanks.

Oh, booze with medication.

What a good doctor.

I talked with Jonathan, he's coming

over tonight.

Why?

He's gonna get the power

of attorney signed.

I don't understand why

there's such a rush.

It's no big deal, it

will be done quick, OK?

And, I spoke with Dr. Kent.

- You didn't tell me that.

- I'm telling you now, OK?

He wants to try a new medication, and...

But he wants to do it while your

under observation.

I can't influence his decision, alright?...

He's coming to his conclusion based

on what he's seen.

And he's a good doctor. I think

we should trust him.

We're all doing the best that

we can to help you.

But these visions of yours...

We've got to get rid of them. You

have got to get rid of her.

OK?

Emma, you look lovely.

How have you been?

She's been very good. She's getting

better every day.

You would say that?

Yeah! Yeah, I am feeling better.

Brad's been "Mr. Supportive", he's

the pillar of my life.

I hope so.

Alright, do you still feel that you

need power of attorney?

So that Brad can access the trust?

Well, it's what my father wanted, right?

Yes, that was his wish.

My mother's money, and yet my father

still controls it from his grave.

Doesn't seem right, does it?

- You still have access though, right?

- Oh, yes!

All accounted for, as you know. It's

always been that way, Emma.

Great! Alright, where do I sign?

Oh, If you don't mind my asking, what

happens if we divorce?

You're fathers will is very clear...

Your mothers estate is to be held in

trust, for your use, in your lifetime.

Should you divorce...

That nullifies access, and triggers other

clauses in your fathers will.

You will be given a one time payment...

...the balance to be bequeath, as

per your fathers instructions.

As long as you two stay married, you

will continue to live in luxury.

Your father was a stickler for the

sanctity of marriage.

As are we, um...

...I don't see how that could

ever be an issue.

Then, that's perfect.

Um... Her name is different, that's

not her last name.

That's her name. For the trust.

It's always confusing when people

have two last names.

Alright.

There it is.

That was easy, right?

Sometimes our imagination

never grows up.

We're stuck with what protected

us as children.

It's like Santa Claus never ages.

He's just always old.

Have you been taking your medication?

Yes, I never miss a dose.

Even after what I prescribed, your

still having visions, right?

No.

I... I mean, sometimes...

...but it's... it's... it's getting

better everyday

I know it is.

What about the episodes?

Your husband is very concerned, he has

told me everything he has observed.

He says you're having some

very intense delusions.

Things are still out of balance.

What are you writing?

Brad said you have had episodes

of harming yourself.

I have not. Why would he say that?

Emma, I was there when you smashed

the glass in the kitchen...

and cut yourself with the shards.

Brad said he found you at the

bottom of the pool.

That was an accident.

And I... I... I enjoy swimming...

...and I enjoy the silence of being

underwater. I always have.

You think you might could spend

some time with us at the hospital?

You can't do this to me.

There is nothing wrong with me.

I'm sorry.

I don't know if I can agree with that.

This is tough, Brad, I'm sorry.

I trust your judgment. That is

why I came to you.

I can't imagine what you're

going through.

She doesn't deserve this torment.

You've been very good to her.

She's my wife, you know?

She's everything I have.

I love her very much.

And she talks to this friend, this

vision? You've heard her?

Yeah, she... she denies it, but

it's very obvious.

Prepare for the worst, and hope

for the best, my friend.

Yeah.

I've really appreciate all your help

with this transfer...

The other thing I will need from you is a

recent trust statement...

for Emma's records.

Well, I'll have to provide that directly

to your wife...

...the new power of attorney doesn't

really grant you full access.

Really?

I didn't know that... um...

Unlike the expired one, this isn't

really a full power of attorney...

...so you can make withdraws, but any

other information is confidential.

Well, who else has full authority?

- Except your wife?

- Yes.

Her attorney, of course.

I was actually helping him with

some transactions yesterday.

Really? He was... he was

in here yesterday?

I didn't know, I didn't have full

power of attorney.

I'm sure this is just a

misunderstanding. Mr. Turner?

God, that feels so good.

I think I should do with a little less

work, and a lot more play.

It's funny how all your old patiences

like to keep in touch.

Let's see how the good doctor is doing.

He's doing just fine, right now.

My God, you're beautiful.

Thank you.

So, did you enjoy it?

Did I enjoy what?

You haven't been with your

wife in months...

...I mean, physically, at least.

You enjoy screwing both women

in your life, don't you?

You know, I will say that...

...there's something different

about her lately.

Well, it seems to be working, this...

...whole "let's drive my wife nuts"

project. It's a huge success.

Oh, yeah, it's definitely working, she...

She's a lot more lucid...

I thought she would be, given

all the medication she is taking.

Got you something.

So beautiful.
