Lady in the Water Page #6

---

And the only way to do that is to find

your own voice. You told us that.

I don't feel like an Interpreter.

Is it possible that that isn't my purpose?

I mean, I don't see anything

in these words, and I didn't before.

And finding one's purpose

is a profound thing.

Sometimes it isn't always

what it seems.

What if these young men

are not the Guild?

Look at what happened at the party.

These things haven't seemed right

from the beginning.

Why are you so certain that I am

the Interpreter and they are the Guild?

He was so sure.

What?

I...

...asked someone.

He acted like he knew.

What kind of person

would be so arrogant...

...to presume to know the intention

of another human being?

Who put this young girl's life

in jeopardy?

Hello?

Is the bathroom on this level working?

A dog inside the building.

Go. Shoo!

Why, you're not a dog at all.

My God.

This is like a moment

from a horror movie.

It is precisely the moment

where the mutation or beast...

...will attempt to kill

an unlikable side character.

But in stories where there

has been no prior cursing, nudity...

...killing or death,

such as in a family film...

...the unlikable character

will narrowly escape his encounter...

...and be referenced again

later in the story...

...having learned valuable lessons.

He may even be given

a humorous moment...

...to allow the audience

to feel good about him.

This is where I turn to run.

You will leap for me.

I will shut the door.

And you will land

a fraction of a second too late.

Why would they lie to her

about Tartutic?

These cannot just be fairy tales

they tell to make the narfs risk their lives.

This has gotta be about faith.

Her world works by different rules

than ours. She may not be dead.

- We need to be told what to do.

- We need to find the Interpreter.

How are we suddenly

going to realize someone's purpose?

This is someone doing something ancient.

An ancient thing in modern times.

It could be someone who sees purity

in what we see as mundane.

Sees the voice of God

in the ordinary.

He is someone who sees meaning

in the ordinary.

Does anyone have any idea

who this is?

My God.

I do.

There is a message.

There is a ceremony to be done.

You're doing great, Joey.

The hands of the Guild will be needed,

plus two others.

Joey, who is the Guild?

It is a ceremony of seven sisters.

Sisters? The Guild is women?

They will touch together

with their hearts as one...

...to bring strength to the moment.

Nice, Joey.

You will need a man

who has no secrets...

...and one whose opinion

is highly respected as witnesses.

All must hurry.

This will all be over in moments.

Mr. Perez de la Torre.

I need to speak with your

f... F... F... F... Five daughters.

Honey? Honey,

there's some people here to see you.

Sweetheart?

He's probably rinsing his mouth.

He's got terrible breath.

Don't tell him I told you.

- Huge explosions

right in the very heart of the capital.

Several explosions, I felt at least four

very close to the center of the city.

I think we have everybody.

A man who has no secrets...

...and one whose opinion

I greatly respect.

They will be w... W... Witnesses.

Will the Guild please come forward?

Yeah.

And you make seven.

Seven sisters.

Come, come.

Yeah.

Everything's right now.

Come back to us now.

Come back to us now, honey.

Come back to us.

I can't believe it.

This is crazy. This woman

is probably dying as we're talking.

She needs to get to a hospital.

This is not right. We can't just stand here

playing make-believe.

I wanted to believe more than most.

I wanna be like a child again.

I needed to believe there's more

than this awfulness around us...

...but at some point we have to stop.

Mr. Leeds, it is time to prove

some stories are real.

I read it wrong.

It was my first time.

I thought it said, "She will lead

a ceremony of seven sisters...

...to bring strength to the moment."

I looked at it again. It says "he."

"He will lead a ceremony of seven sisters

to bring strength to the moment."

Mrs. Bell is not the Healer.

It said the Healer could be a man.

But l... But l...

I saw a butterfly land right on her.

Butterflies?

Yeah, the bedtime story

said butterflies are drawn to the Healer.

But, Mr. Heep,

you brought that butterfly to me.

It caught my eye as you walked over.

I did?

Wait, no.

You must try.

- There's no time.

- I can't. I can't. I can't.

Shut up...

...and try.

Say something to bring out your energy.

I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.

I should have been there.

I am always gonna regret...

...just not being there.

I'll miss your faces.

Oh, they remind me of God.

I'm so lost without you guys.

I met this very nice lady,

and her name's Story.

And I think you would've liked her.

I think she might be...

...an angel...

...because she has to go home.

I love you all.

I love you all so much.

Thank you for all you have done.

Your sister will have seven children.

You will see the first two.

Oh, my God. He's the Guardian.

Reggie!

Reggie! Reggie,

just keep looking in his eyes!

Keep looking in his eyes!

Thank you for saving my life.
