Sadie's Last Days on Earth Page #6

- Hey, hey, security!

We've got some rockers

ready to brawl at the front!

It's Kobe Bryant all over again!

Please, thank you!

We are the mods,

we are the mods

we are, we are,

we are the mods

we are the mods,

we are the mods

we are, we are,

we are the mods

- What do you think he meant

when he said,

"a straight line is not

the shortest distance

between two points"?

- Maybe when something happens,

or you do something...

it doesn't always

make total sense.

But if it's right...

So tenderly

with our burning love,

baby baby

that stings like a bee,

baby baby

now that I surrender,

baby baby

so helplessly

- Brennan!

You now want to leave,

baby baby

ooh, you wanna leave me,

baby baby

ooh baby baby,

where did our love go

ooh, don't you want me

don't you want me no more,

baby baby

ooh, baby

- no!

Where are you?

No! No!

- This is why

I should've just let it be.

Feeling like I had lost

Brennan was good prep

for the great loss to come.

Before, I was just

a bad friend who drifted.

Now, I've really hurt her.

The shortest distance

between two points

is not always a straight line.

I had no idea she liked Jack.

I had no idea he liked me.

And until he almost kissed me...

I had no idea I liked him.

But now I don't.

And I hope he doesn't.

- Honey,

there's a Jack here to see you.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- I'm trying to follow

your lead here

of not preparing speeches,

winging it.

Your way sucks.

- Yeah, 'member?

Didn't work so well

for me either.

- Or, grand romantic gesture,

yes!

Um, mental rewind.

- Oh sweet angel, a cherub

who will deliver us all

at the hour of the great demise!

And continue on the fight

after the rapture!

Oh, angel of death,

send me high!

- Angel of death?!

- No, no, it's a good thing.

Like Sunday school?

Saint Michael brought

a whole bunch of people

up to heaven after the rapture.

- So, I'm gonna kill everyone

and I'm a dude?

- How did religious metaphor

work so well for Romeo?

- He did have Shakespeare

workin' for him.

- Well, I mean, I didn't have

a lot of time to prepare.

Neither of us knew, Sadie.

It's not our fault.

- There's no more time.

Brennan made me realize

this makes no sense.

I can't open up to somebody

who I'm just gonna lose

in a few days.

I'm no good for you.

- But I climbed a tree!

So this is what

teenage angst feels like.

- Brennan!

I'm sorry, I didn't know.

- Of course you didn't.

You don't blab to everyone

around school

about the boy you like

because you look pretty stupid

if he finds out and he

doesn't like you back.

- Well, why didn't you tell me?

- Sadie, fourth grade,

miss grange's class,

who was my crush?

- Matt Dylan, no relation?

- Our first summer at camp

Wonagan, who did we stalk?

- Christopher creepy-hands,

which I never understood, but...

- you knew those things because

you were my best friend.

You lost those privileges.

See ya.

- No, look, I am here in

the old part of school

for you!

- No, Sadie, it's about you.

This is about jumping

into your delusional void.

You need to figure out

you before there's an us.

None of this is about me.

- Yes, it is.

Brennan, I am trying!

I just wanna make things right

before th...

- ugh, before!

I don't wanna hear "before"

or "when"!

The world isn't gonna end,

Sadie!

You need to free yourself

because break

will come and go and we'll

all be back at school.

This hallway

you're so afraid of,

it's just a bunch of walls

you built

because you're too

afraid to live your life.

- You're wrong.

- Fine.

The world is gonna end.

Super volcanoes fill

the atmosphere with ash

while tsunamis cover the earth

in water.

You're gonna make it

through that?

You and your little bunker box?

- I am prepared.

- But why, Sadie?

Why won't you live your

life while you have one?

What would be left that's

worth being there for?

- Please work or read quietly.

- You don't have detention.

- Chartreuse.

Principal said

if I painted my locker

one more shade of green,

he'd suspend me.

C'mon, Sadie.

Talk to me.

I like you...

and I'm pretty sure

that you like me.

And look, I get it,

chicks before d*cks,

and I feel bad

about Brennan too,

but she'll get over this

before you know it, okay?

That's, that's how

these things work.

She's gonna walk down

the hall and see someone

she's seen a million times.

And one day, she'll just

see them differently.

Know they're a match.

Like I did.

- Even if there was time,

I couldn't do that to her.

- Sadie, but that is what's

so great about being with you!

There is no time!

I get to live my life like

the world is gonna end.

I'm not worried

about this detention

being on my transcript.

Do you know that last

week was the first time

that I didn't lie awake in bed

thinking of all the ways

I could have hurt

my college chances?

Instead, I drifted off

thinking about you.

Look, Sadie, maybe it has

nothing to do

with the end of the world.

Maybe you can't open up

to someone...

well, because you can't

open up to yourself.

- I'm, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- Where do you think

you're going?

Go.

- Sadie, Sadie!

- Love.

That was what she had

that it did not have.

No thanks.

It's better if I just stay away.

I'm only causing pain.

If this is it for them, they

should enjoy their last moments

without me screwing things up.

- FG is a force of attraction,

and g is the constant

gravitational pull.

The acceleration

between two objects

is shown by a1 and a2.

- Everyone under your desks!

- Is everyone okay?

- The big one's coming!

- This is it.

A preview.

A precursor to something

much bigger.

Time to double-check

the inventory.

- You're out of

water-purifying tablets?!

- Yeah, look, we're out

of a lot of things, all right?

- But I need some!

- Sadie, you keep a

larger stock than I do.

You'll be fine.

- You have iodine pills?

I'll give you 50 for a bottle.

A hundred!

- 80 bucks.

- What?!

- 80 bucks.

Forget the list.

Time to say my goodbyes.

Only minor injuries

were sustained during

yesterday's 7.6,

but some experts worry

this quake may just be

a foreshock of something

much bigger to come.

There is still an Amber alert

on the red Toyota pick-up...

- Morning, sweetie.

Last seen at crimson...

- Have a good day, honey.

- Wait.

You guys can... should stay

in the bunker tonight.

- Why would we do that?

- Aw, my, my. Come on, honey.

Come on,

I thought this was done with.

You've come so far!

This will be all over tomorrow.

- Roger.

- There was a massive earthquake

yesterday.

But I'm sure

we'll be fine sleeping

in our own beds tonight,

sweetheart...

- but you...

- but if anything should happen

when the clock strikes 12,

we will be in that bunker

faster than you can say...

- Apocalypse.

- Come here.

- No one can say

you're not committed.

- I love you.

- We love you, too.

- I just wanted to say thank you

for... distracting me.

- It is one of
