The End Page #7

---

I'm not taking your,

Uh, therapy group.

Some people

In my therapy group

Are really close to

Kicking the bucket.

You're gonna love 'em.

I'm committing

Suicide, remember?

You're sure having

A hard time doing it.

That's because nobody

Will leave me alone.

Either that or you

Really don't want to.

I want to do it.

I want to

Commit suicide.

I'm in love

With the idea

Of killing myself.

When I think about it,

I get a hard-on.

I'm sure there's

A part of you

That thinks of it

As a romantic notion.

But there's another part

Of you that feels guilty

For taking your own life.

That's psychological

Bullshit.

I don't feel guilty

About anything.

Then why did your suicide

Letter to your daughter

Begin with an apology?

"dear Julie,

Daddy is so sorry

For what he's about to do--"

Give me that,

You son of a b*tch!

How could you?

Damn it!

Aw, sh*t!

Feel better?

No!

No!

You don't play fair!

The stakes are high--

Life and death.

Want to

Punch the scale?

Yeah!

No!

Yeah!

Yeah!

Sh*t!

Sh*t!

I mean they...

They shoot horses

When they're miserable,

Don't they?

When they're miserable,

Don't they?

Ow!

You see, Im

Terrified of pain.

Pain hurts me.

Sonny, what makes you

So convinced

Your death is

Going to be painful?

Have you ever actually

Seen someone die?

Haircuts hurt me.

People should

Die at home.

Well, that would be kind

Of difficult with me.

I mean, hustling

From my house

To my

Ex-wife's house

To my

Girlfriend's house.

Hell, Id be dying

In a taxicab.

Are your parents

Alive, Sonny?

No.

No.

Yeah!

They're alive.

I guess that's called

A Freudian slip.

Either that...

Or a boo-boo.

Ha ha ha.

Why don't you come to one

Death therapy session?

Just talking to people

Like yourself

Can make

Death less scary.

Maybe even meaningful.

Maybe even meaningful.

I don't think so, doc.

Ok. I'll let you

Out of here.

But I want you to at least

Read a pamphlet, ok?

Ok.

%% you are

My sunshine... %%

[whistling]

[whistling]

Oh, oh!

Boy, I tell

You something.

You're the happiest

Son of a b*tch

I've ever seen.

You're jumping up and down

And whistling like that.

I'm gonna die,

You're gonna die,

And you're jumping up

And down whistling.

I'm with you!

Really?

It's a good decision.

You're a great salesman--

Don't back out on me.

I'm not

Going anywhere.

I'm not

Going anywhere.

What did you

Do to him?

I liked him.

[birds chirping]

[birds chirping]

[birdcalls]

[birdcalls]

Sonny!

[laughing]

Hiya, Sonny!

Hi, Marlon.

How did

You escape?

Oh, yeah.

I escaped!

How'd you do it?

How'd you do it?

I forgot.

I forget things

When I do them.

You're lucky.

About what?

Forgetting.

I know.

There's a lot of crazy

People around here.

There's a lot of crazy

People around here.

Did you hear

About the bed?

I heard

What happened.

It hurt my head.

You shouldn't

Listen to me.

Out of the mouths of Polacks

Oft times comes ca-ca.

Don't put yourself down

For being Polish.

One of my favorite

People is Polish.

Yeah, who?

You.

Ohh. Ha ha ha ha.

But it did hurt.

Good.

Not good.

I don't like pain.

I want to die

Without hurting myself.

You got a lot

Of rules about dying, too.

I always thought

Jumping out a window

Would be

Completely painless...

Until you landed.

Then it would be

Very painful.

You couldn't change

Your mind once you started.

No.

Geronimo!

No.

Geronimo!

All the windows here

Got bars on them.

Except the tower.

Tower?

Where's the tower?

Where's the tower?

[Marlon panting,

Laughing]

[Marlon panting,

Laughing]

Here it is!

The tower.

I love high places.

I'm not

Crazy about them.

It's got

A ledge, huh?

Just like in

The movies.

It'll give you

Some place to stand on,

And I can cheer you on.

Ok, Sonny...jump!

Don't be so anxious!

I'm sorry. I thought

That's what you wanted.

I am, but...

It doesn't seem

High enough.

Sure it's high enough.

You sure?

Only one way

To find out.

Will you stop?

I'm gonna do it.

I've got to work

Up to it gradually.

You'll never get hurt

If you crawl down.

I'm the one

That's doing it.

Ok.

You're very brave.

I am brave.

I gotcha.

Let me look

Before I go.

Let me look

Before I go.

It ain't high enough!

Sure, it's high.

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

Ahhh!

It ain't

High enough.

If I land

On my feet,

I'll have

Broken ankles

And a toxic

Blood disease.

Wait a minute!

Ahhhhh!

Ahhhhh!

I got an idea.

I'll drop you

On your head.

No, you'll

Be a murderer.

Oh, my god,

A murderer!

What are you talking about?

I'm already a murderer.

That's right.

You are a murderer.

Are you sure you want

That kind of responsibility?

Did you mean it

When you said you liked me?

I like you!

Then I want to help

My friend.

Pull me in!

Then can I drop you?

Yes!

That's good.

This is

Going to be good.

Now, let me

Get your feet.

Easy does it.

Don't worry.

Do this slow.

I understand.

Let's not rush

Into this.

I'll let you go

Whenever you tell me.

Point your head down.

Wait, I got

To get ready.

Ok.

Ok!

All right.

Let me know

When you're down.

Oh, my god!

No!

Shall I let you go?

No!

Wait a minute.

Why?

Because it ain't

High enough!

Good for me.

It isn't

High enough!

Pull me back.

Pull me back up!

I don't think so.

God damn it,

Pull me back!

Ok! Ok!

Why did you

Pull me back?

You said--

I don't have enough

Courage or guts.

That's why you're here.

I can't do it alone.

If you hadn't

Pulled me back,

I'd be dead now!

I'm a failure!

You said it!

Shut up!

I got an idea.

Please tell me.

I'll sit here.

You get running

Like a bull.

I'll have

My back to you.

You push me,

I'll go.

What a good idea.

Thanks so much.

It's been a pleasure

Knowing you.

You're my best friend.

Sorry.

Yeah.

I'm ready when

You are, Sonny.

Wait.

Bless me, father...

Come on.

On second thought.

Ahhhh!

Ahhhh!

You're right, Sonny!

It's not high enough!

It's not high enough!

They mate

For life, you know.

You're kidding.

I wish I was dead.

You would be, too,

If it wasn't for my dumb ideas.

Don't put yourself down.

You're right!

Why waste time talking

About a piece of sh*t like me?

Ooh, I almost forgot.

I got you something.

A present for you.

That's very nice.

You didn't need to do that.

Oh, I hope

You like it.

Very sweet.

You like the color?

Yeah.

Hanging.

Yeah.

And the beauty part is

You don't have to do anything.

You just have to stand there.

I'll do the rest.

I wonder if it hurts.

You see,

Hanging is very simple.

It's clean,

Neat, and economical.

You don't spend

Any money with a rope.

It's just the cost

Of the rope.

That's why these things

Become traditional.

I wonder if it hurts.

[gagging] Marlon. Marlon.

Shouldn't we have a horse?

Wait a minute.

It's very simple.

All right. What?

I just step out

From under you,

And you'll be hung.

Don't you understand?

[gagging]

Yes. Uh...

What?

[gagging]

Do it very slowly.
