Lamb Page #5

If you don't like her,

then how come you see her?

I told you.

For us.

To keep each other safe.

[sighs]

[instrumental music playing]

This is the beginning part

where we take you back home.

But they'll ask me where I was.

And you won't tell them, right?

I ran away, but here I am now.

[tapping]

Memorize that.

It's the 14th post on the 14th day.

Can you remember that?

- Why?

- The 14th fence post will always stand for you.

Turn around.

Turn around and see our little house.

It's ours, right?

Equal partners, right?

I will it to you, Tommie.

It's yours.

And maybe even more yours

than it was ever mine.

You'll move her long after I'm gone.

I will write you half a dozen

letters like this one here.

Every single day for the rest of my life.

And they will tell the

story of my love for you.

Messages from the dead.

I don't wanna go home.

You feel that?

That pressure right there?

It's the world calling you.

[car approaching]

[shower running]

[faucet creaks]

I feel hot again.

If you want, I can go to the

store and get you more medicine.

Yeah.

We've stayed here before, haven't we?

If you discover one day that you hate me,

that you're angry with me,

that I ruined your life,

at any time...

if I'm 90, you'll tell me, won't you?

Gary.

You'll buy a pair of steel-toed

boots and you will find me...

all alone and dried up...

and sick in a nursing home and

you'll kick my f***ing teeth in.

Please don't say that.

You will outgrow me.

You will forget everything.

[sobs loudly]

N... No, I won't.

[continues sobbing]

[instrumental music playing]

This is how we said it'd go, didn't we?

I'll make you a promise.

Valentine's Day.

I'll come and find you.

You'll come and pick me up?

I'll send you a sign.

What kinda sign?

I don't know. Like a ribbon or something.

Tied to an unusual place.

Or I'll break a window

like the one at the cabin.

I'll leave it broken.

And that way you'll know I was there.

[sighs]

It's okay.

Hey. It's okay.

- It's okay.

- [sniffles]

It's okay, sweetheart. Aw.

Sweetheart.

Listen. Remember...

you have to be brave.

Okay?

Maybe...

What, sweetheart?

Maybe we can tell everyone.

I think... I think they would understand.

Because...

Because it's love, right?

Oh, sweetheart.

Remember what we said about

keeping each other safe?

Yes.

Okay.

Will you stop crying?

- I... I'm trying.

- Okay.

A love like ours is expensive, right?

Think of it that way.

We pay for it by not seeing each other.

Can't we just... Can't we just

go get a coffee or something?

I'm sorry, sweetheart.

This is the last chapter.

You remember what we said?

You know what to do if

they're not there, right?

- Yes.

- What?

I... I tell the security guard that...

"I ran away and here I am now,"

and, "Could you help me find my mother?"

All right.

- And you'll be strong and beautiful?

- Yes.

Then say it.

- I'll be strong and beautiful.

- Yeah, yeah.

Don't ever forget this hurt.

Don't ever forget the things

that we've seen together.

'Cause it'll save you.

You...

will be an apple tree among all the

ash-colored buildings of this city.

You just need to close your eyes...

take a deep breath and listen.

[instrumental music playing]

Listen to the rain and the wind...

All that rushing through you...

[softly] That'll be me whispering to you.

I'll be with you this way.

Right?

[sighs shakily]

Hey.

Hey.

[Tommie sniffles]

Come on.

You should keep it.

[sobbing]

It's okay.

We're gonna count to five.

One.

[David sobbing]

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!
