Uh-

Why don't you look at me

and say something?

Jeremy, listen.

From the first moment

I saw you down here,

scared in the dark,

I had this feeling that...

that you would change

everything I knew.

And maybe...

this is not the right place

for someone as beautiful as you.

But if you come with me...

I promise you

we'll find a place that is.

Let's go.

Donald.

Just let him come on down,

Miss Caldwell.

We don't want no trouble from you.

What the hell you doin', Jess?

The right thing.

And if you don't see that,

then why don't you just turn

your head and please, please...

just look the other way.

- I don't know how to do that, Jess.

- Of course you do, Doug.

Christ's sake, just, uh,

you know, turn your head.

Just like that.

Let's do it.

He can't be out in this weather.

Where the hell are you

gonna take him?

Let's have a talk.

Come here. Come on.

Why don't you hit the road, Harley?

- Do what?

- I said get the hell out of here.

I'm not gonna

let this happen, Doug.

You're breakin'

the goddamn law.

- Lucy, this is Harley-

- I said go away.

Go ahead, Harley.

You're out of your goddamn,

motherfrickin' minds, you know that?

All of ya!

Lucy.

Lucy, this is Harley.

I need some help out here

at the Reed place.

A couple of units would be good.

Jeremy? Powder? Hey!

If you're gonna go,

you better go now.

Jeremy?

She didn't go someplace.

- Your wife.

- What?

I felt her go.

Not away.

Just out.

Everywhere.

"It's become appallingly clear...

that our technology

has surpassed our humanity."

Albert Einstein.

I look at you and l,

I think that someday...

our humanity might actually

surpass our technology.

Hey! God!

Powder!

Powder!

- Oh!

- Oh!
