Just Jim Page #4

---

- That was obviously the start of it.

(Mum) 'Thank you.'

(Dean) 'What Jim is,

is a pathological liar.

'I've seen this before.'

And it is a key sign

of psychopathic behaviour.

Now, no parent ever thinks

their child will grow up

to be a serial-killing

rapist or mass murderer

but you got to be ready for anything.

Mom,

just think about all

the future butchered victims

crying out to be saved.

What are you doing?

Looking after you. You're ill.

No, I'm not. I'm fine.

You've made me look crazy.

You were almost there.

You just needed a push.

Listen, I'm done, OK?

I'm done with it. I want you gone.

I'm not going anywhere, fat face.

You're trying to drown a shark.

Oh, yeah? Well, you're trying

to drown a shark as well.

We're both sharks.

Listen to me. F*** off somewhere

and don't come back.

Stop being a p*ssy

and just kill yourself already.

Bring the curtain down

cos it doesn't get any better from here.

Do it, or I will.

- I'll tell my parents.

- Yeah.

Cos they'll believe some f***

that talks to the wall.

Keep your mouth shut

or I'll get rid of them first.

Got it?

Head down, mouth shut.

Good talk.

Well, I'm not taking it back.

You can.

It's humiliating.

It's a lovely facility, very safe.

Well, it looks like a good solution to me.

Does nobody find it weird

that this guy just showed up?

- Don't be rude.

- What's this?

Me and your mum

are worried about you.

- What, so you want to send me away'?

- It's not normal to act the way you are.

It's not f***ing me, OK? It's him.

He's crazy, Mam.

He threatened to kill me.

- Jim!

- Mam, you have to believe me.

It's not me, Mam.

I swear, it's not me.

It's him. He's crazy.

He said he'd kill me if I do anything.

He said he'd kill you guys.

It's not me. I swear, Mam. It's not me.

I'm sorry. I'd better go.

Stay strong.

Oh, man.

(Film voices) 'Hey, it's me.

'I need to go away for a few days.

'Stopping this guy could give me

the respect I've been waiting for.

'Look after yourself, OK?'

(Jim) 'Hello, is Michael there?'

- It's, um... It's Jim.

- (Other person hangs up)

Hello?

(Jim) 'Hello, is Michelle there?'

(Man) 'Hold on, I'll gel her.'

- (Michelle) 'Hello?'

- All right?

- Look, you need to help me.

- 'What's wrong?'

An American sicko

has moved in next door.

I'm in big trouble. He's made me cool

and turned everyone against me.

He's threatening to kill Mam and Dad

if I do anything.

'Jim, I'm busy.'

No, wait. What do I do?

'Grow up.'

(Hangs UP)

(Door closing)

One minute he's your little angel,

the next he's chopping f***ing heads off.

But, for now,

three tickets to the movies.

- Great idea.

- You bet.

- Oh, Dean!

- Very kind.

Thank you.

F***ing A.

(Parents laughing)

Can't wait.

Oh, not those seals.

I f***ing hate those seats.

Over here.

Over here.

Yeah...

Much better.

Walked across the viaduct.

Sizing up the parachute jump.

Yeah, copy, Clive.

Hello? Hello!

Play the f***ing movie already!

This is when I'm meant to give you

the speech about what you've done,

but I'm not going to.

I'm fed up with speeches.

Copy that, Clive.

This place is filled

with miserable bastards,

but let me tell you something.

You're different.

And don't you let

anyone tell you otherwise.

Yeah, life may seem sh*t

at the moment.

If may feel like

the whole world's against you.

But this is where you decide

what kind of person you are.

What type of man you become

is down to you.

And only you.

I'm sure it will be any minute now.

Yeah, OK.

She's playing with me.

She knows I hate waiting.

Sorry I lost my cool.

Oh.

You see? I'm smiling.

I'm happy-

Ah, here we f***ing go.

( Film soundtrack)

'It's a year today since he massacred

those innocent children.

'The authorities are warning people

to stay inside.

'The Piper is said to be mid-20s

and look just like one of us.'

What the f*** do you want?

(Thud)

(Bang)

I knew this guy in Pennsylvania.

He was a real b*tch.

He made himself a target.

Of course, he didn't do anything about it

so they beat the f***ing sh*t out of him.

He was a nice guy.

One dey, the motherf***er

just snapped.

Killed every single one of them.

I respect you for trying.

But you're just not good enough.

You're not capable.

You're a daddy-long-legs.

But it's OK,

cos I'm here now.

- (Donald) Morning, Jim.

- Morning.

Copy, Clive.

I could easily jump off here.

All right'!

Not bad, aye.

I'm sorry I punched you in the face.

I'm sorry I called you a freak.

Not sorry I kissed Jackie, though.

- Me neither. Pretty good, right?

- Yeah, pretty good.

- I thought your mum threw that out.

- No, I lied.

- What are you doing now, then?

- Urn... Don't know.

(Lighter clicks)

Are you Roger?

- Are you Roger's brother'?

- No.

Have you got a lighter?

Have you got a lighter?

Are you Roger?

No.

No.

Are you Rogers brother?

Are you Roger?

No.

Are you Roger?

No, I'm Jim.
