Paint It Black Page #3

to f***ing kill me!

Guy's following me and

now he's at my f***ing house.

Josie, don't be crazy.

You know she's not

gonna take a hit out on you.

Jo-Josie,

I'm coming to you.

Where are you?

Tell me right now.

- No, I'm sorry, I got to go.

I got to go.

Look, Josie...

oh.

Loewy residence.

It's Josie Tyrell.

Thank you, Margaret.

What do you want, Josie?

What happened, Meredith?

Did your foot slip off

the gas pedal?

Couldn't follow through, huh?

And now the guy with the flattop

in the f***ing car?

- Your imagination

is running away with you, child.

Listen, Meredith,

I told people

about this, okay?

So if I disappear,

they'll know.

Good-bye, Josie.

- No, wait!

Wait-wait-wait, wait.

Shh.

Shh-shh-shh-shh-shh.

Josie.

Josie, listen, let's ju...

Let's just

call a truce, okay?

We're even.

How much more can

we possibly hurt each other?

I can't take any more.

Can you?

Huh?

Josie, I shouldn't have

taken your things.

I took it too far.

I just want his...

I just want

his journals back.

Please?

Just tell me where you are,

and I'll come to you.

I'll bring you the journals.

Tell me where you are,

and I'll bring them to you.

Where are the rest of them?

Stolis all around, ladies?

What do you want from me?

Did Michael ever tell you

what happened to me

when I was your age?

I had been working

with Rudolf serkin

at Curtis,

just before he died.

Who?

- Um, he-he was

a very great pianist,

one of the greatest

of his time.

And he was performing

at carnegie hall

with the Philadelphia orchestra,

brahms' second.

But he got sick,

i don't remember with what.

And he recommended me

to ormandy to replace him.

I was 21.

One day's notice.

The brahms' second.

I... it's a...

Yt's a monster concerto.

It's a huge responsibility.

One day's notice.

It was like one of

those old movies, you know,

where the star breaks her ankle

and the girl

gets her big chance.

I was so nervous.

Oh.

I threw up before the concert.

But when I went out there...

Something else

took over.

It was... it was like

being lifted up on wings.

Harold schonberg

called me a goddess.

Hurok signed me

the following morning.

Within a week,

he'd organized a tour.

It was like being in

the nose cone of a rocket,

the... the momentum, you know,

how fast it all came.

It was...

Incredible.

Everything I'd worked for

since I was four years old.

My father drowned himself

in our pool a week later.

Couldn't even wait

till I got home.

He always had to be the star.

I didn't go

to the funeral.

I... i just... i toured.

I stayed in hotels.

I was playing with all

of the great orchestras,

and I couldn't stand to be

by myself in a room.

And then I met Calvin,

thought I could put all of that

loneliness behind me.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Josie...

I know you loved him,

like I did,

and I know you've lost,

like I have.

Would you consider

coming to stay with me

for a little while?

I'm so tired

of being alone.

I...

I can't do it anymore.

I ju... i... i can't.

I just... i can't, i...

I'll give you

the rest of them.

Please?

I'll give you

everything I have.

Wait, there!

Oh, my god...

Oh, f***, it's still breathing.

Michael!

What's wrong with you?

Michael, what do we do?

Michael!

Why do I have to

do f***ing everything?

It's all my fault.

All my fault.

I was so mean to him.

May I help you?

Are you f***ing shitting me?

I'm over here all worried

about you and sh*t,

and I find you here like this,

a little f***ing Princess?

I'm very sick, pen.

Meredith is

taking care of me now.

Are you hearing yourself?

Jesus.

You saw her that night,

and suddenly you're sick?

Don't you think

that's a little suspicious?

What if she's, like,

poisoning you or some sh*t?

I don't really care if she is.

I'm so tired of my life.

Don't say that.

You're depressed, okay?

You're depressed,

but this f***ing house?

Sh*t.

It's a f***ing creep factory.

Guess what?

I like being in this house.

It makes me feel closer to him.

It smells like him.

He's dead, Josephine.

He's dead.

- Hey, it's pen.

You know what to do...

go to your broken heart.

If you think

you don't have one, get one.

To get one, be Sincere.

Learn sincerity of intent...

- Learn sincerity of...

- By letting life enter...

- By letting life enter...

What is this?

- Shh.

Because you're helpless,

really, to do otherwise.

Poem by Jack hirschman.

- This is the guy that...

- after the beep, leave a

message for Josie or Michael.

Michael, that is terrible!

- It's interesting, isn't it,

that he said,

"Josie or Michael."

Didn't say,

"Josie and Michael."

Josie, think of how

you will feel one day

when you have a...

A screaming child on your hip

and you look at out

the laundry in your yard

and you think,

"i could have had

a different life."

I'm offering you that life,

Josie.

All I want in return

is you.

Hello?

May I help you?

Yes, I would like a room.

How many nights?

I'm not sure yet.

Long day driving?

Yeah.

- Mm, these roads

are hazardous at night.

Those white lines

become hypnotizers.

About eight weeks ago, um,

a boy checked in here.

He registered

under the name Oscar wilde.

I'd like to know

how many nights he stayed.

I know he stayed here.

Room nine is nice.

Gerta just cleaned it.

35 a night, cash only.

Hi.

What's your name?

Gerta.

Gerta.

I'm Josie.

You want to

come outside for a second?

she locks everything at night.

Can I ask you

about the boy who stayed here?

To me, he is Oscar.

- Yeah, he liked

Oscar wilde a lot.

But, uh, his real name

was Michael.

Michael.

He speak German,

like a viennese.

I...

I found him.

I... i...

I found him.

I'm so sorry.

- After police go...

- I'm so sorry.

Then I must clean.

She make me.

Room seven.

Listen, um,

I don't really know

what's going on here,

but I'm leaving.

I don't know where exactly,

but I'm gonna start over.

Come with me.

- Bitte.

Please.

I cannot.
