Let Me Make You a Martyr Page #6

god to the challenge.

(Laughing)

(Laughing loudly)

God?

Where do you find

him in all of this?

(Dark ominous music)

Never easy puttin'

down family now is it?

Who the f*** are you?

You know who I am.

(Opens car door)

(Closes door)

(Tries doorknob)

What's important is that you

listen to what I have to say.

You know kid the

apex of our existence

is when you have the courage

to baptize your demons

to get the keys

to our salvation.

I'm gonna help

you make a choice.

(Opens trunk)

[Drew] You see I don't

find faith in life,

or death or what's

been taken from me.

Only in what's been left behind.

[Charon] Elaborate.

I don't know that I understand.

I grew up in the

Midwest, tornado country.

And when I was a kid we'd

hear the sirens and we'd all

huddle together in the

basement or the bathroom

and wait for the storm to pass.

There's this one storm

that was particularly bad.

I still remember the

sound, the roar of it.

But after it passed the

whole neighborhood came out

to see the damage that's what

we did, everyone in unison.

And I mean houses

were destroyed,

cars wrapped around trees,

bodies of livestock cows,

horses, you name it just strewn

all over the streets.

But among all the

chaos and debris

there was this one

little baby deer, a Fawn.

Just roaming among the

wreckage which was surely dead.

You see that's where I find god.

And what's been spared

from the madness

where innocence prevails

where all else is lost.

That's what I found in June,

that's what she was to me.

Does that answer your question?

I believe so.

So where are we with all this?

And can I have a drink

I'm dyin' of thirst?

We're close and yes.

Have to run these files

over to the upstairs office

before it closes tonight anyway.

What can I get ya?

Just water.

Sure thing.

I'll be just a minute.

(Knocks on door)

(Quarter drops in payphone)

(Dial tone)

(Dialing)

(Ringing)

[Drew] It's me.

[Brown] What's the score?

[Drew] Sh*t's changed.

Got company.

[Brown] Aww, sh*t.

[Drew] Took off with the car

and somethin' else I

couldn't afford to lose.

[Brown] Where's June?

[Drew] Gone.

[Brown] Alright,

where you need me?

[Drew] At the spot around nine.

[Brown] Alright.

(Country song plays

quietly in background)

I got this but I can't eat it.

(Door squeaks and slams)

Pope's in town.

We're talkin' about pope, right?

Nazi Windtalker?

Well, do we still have

to leave in the morning?

(Coughs loudly)

Holy sh*t man.

What the f***'s wrong with you.

Holy sh*t!

Alright.

It's gonna be okay.

Look I can't take you to a

doctor here too many questions.

Just a,

just wait 'till we get outta

state tomorrow, alright.

We'll get you a

f***in' tetanus shot.

I gotta go see my girl but,

you're gonna stay at Mi Casa.

I'll be by at eight

sharp to pick you up.

Crystal?

Yeah.

(Engine starts)

(Gears grinding)

(Dumps clutch tires squeal)

(Chains rattle against table)

(Chains rattle against table)

(Cuffs rattling and clicking)

(Chains rattle)

(Puts cuffs on table)

(Chains rattle on table)

(Chains drop on chair and floor)

(Choral music)

It's okay to be scared.

Whatever this life is.

I think it's just to

find the things you want.

And then when we

crossover to what's next

we only take those

things with us.

[Charon] My job

entails the screening,

for lack of a better term,

of the accused or condemned.

(C*cks pistol)

I am what my colleagues and

alumni set in that chair

called the gatekeeper.

(Wind blowing)

(Car races down road)

Which one?

That one.

Now you wouldn't lie

to me now would you?

Why are you doin' this?

Order.

You're gonna kill me

in there aren't you?

(Electronics music)

(Water running in sink)

(Psychedelic music)

(Gunshots in the distance)

(Something banging in trunk)

(Closes trunk)

Mother earth

on whom the moon

and stars do shine

mother earth

you are so divine

you said that love is blind

I'm gonna make you

I'm gonna make you mine

mother earth

yes you include

the sea and land
