The Endless Page #3

in the morning.

Hey, seriously.

Thanks for doing this.

I'm just happy you get to see

how insane it all is.

Yeah, it's pretty weird.

But, uh, I was thinking.

Could we stay for one more day?

- You're drunk.

- No.

You are drunk. You smell like

a Long Island Iced Tea.

You're drunk.

Can we just stay through

tomorrow night?

You know, I was talking to Anna.

She said that Hal lets people

take his guns out.

We could just kinda...

hang out in the wilderness.

Shoot guns, just you and me,

you know?

Despite all this weirdness, just

kind of enjoy something for once.

I really don't wanna do that.

It doesn't cost anything.

All right. I'll let you

stay one more day.

Hey, Tim.

What's in there?

Brewing equipment.

Until the FBI shows up.

JUSTIN:

Hey, you asleep?

AARON:

Hmm?

I was.

And now all I wanna do

is talk to you.

Seriously. Did anything

happen with Anna?

Honestly, no.

Well, she gave me this look

that made me think,

you know, maybe she wanted to

hold hands or something.

- Nice.

- Yeah.

Hey, I really think that

you should have this.

I really think

it's good for you.

But I also think that

you should know

that when you were little,

Anna used to, like,

make eyes at you.

Yeah, it's probably because

she's always been

in love with me.

And we were meant to

be together.

Or maybe she's a pedophile.

Women can't be

a pedophiles.

- Yes, they can.

- No, they can't.

- Yes, they can.

- No, they can't.

Are you, like, redefining

the word pedophile?

- In order for a man to have intercourse...

- Go to sleep.

- In order...

- Go to sleep.

- Women can't...

- Go to sleep!

There is

A house

In New Orleans

They call

The rising

(GUNSHOT ECHOES)

Nice.

Make sure you clean that

before you give it back to Hal.

He gets pretty mad if you give

it back dirty.

I can't really imagine

him angry.

(GUNSHOT ECHOES)

I can.

(GUNSHOT ECHOES)

So your thing was photography?

Nah. I don't really have

a thing yet.

(GUNSHOT ECHOES)

(GUNSHOT ECHOES)

- (GUNSHOT ECHOES)

- (THUDDING)

I guess hunting wasn't

your thing either.

I'm just kidding.

Seriously, what do you

think it hit?

I don't know. You're just

bad at shooting.

Hey!

Do you remember me?

(CREAKING, THUD)

(WIND GUSTS)

(RUMBLING)

(TREE CREAKING)

(THUDS)

There is

A house

In New Orleans

They call

The rising sun

They...

- (MAN WHIMPERING)

- (WOMAN SINGING ON PHONOGRAPH) They call the ri...

(THUDS)

They call the ri...

- (MAN SCREAMS)

- (THUDS)

- They call the ri...

- (CLOCK TICKING)

- MAN:
Aah!

- (THUDS)

- They call the ri...

- (CLOCK TICKING)

- MAN:
Aah!

- (THUDS)

- They call the ri...

- (CLOCK TICKING, THUDS)

(RECORD SKIPPING)

I'm gonna lay down my sword

and shield

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Gonna lay down my sword

and shield

- Down by the riverside

- No, I can't follow this up.

Oh, sure you can.

It'll just sound bad.

Hey, uh, do you have

a minute?

And it was like...

something was there.

But-but that I couldn't see.

And it left me this...

I think.

Maybe.

It's like I said.

You're at an age now where you

can become a part of it.

So it's gonna be

more apparent.

Yeah, but you always

speak in metaphors.

So you don't trust me?

And you're gonna stand there,

you're gonna tell me

that you have never experienced

anything before?

I mean, I remember some things

from when I was a kid,

but kids have imaginations,

and as a grown man now, I guess

the reason why

I sort of dramatically asked you

to come out here

is for you to just tell me,

in your own words,

what is it?

Who's the leader here, Justin?

Uh, you?

(CHUCKLES)

There's never been one.

I just talk more.

It's not a very flattering

quality, if you ask me,

but one of the things that

I talk a lot about

is that I don't have answers.

None of us do.

You wanna know what it is that

runs all this?

You go find it.

How is that possible?

It's crazy, right?

Some kind of atmospheric

mirroring effect.

It's like the Northern Lights.

Anyway, two moons brings

a truth.

Three signifies the ascension.

All right, that just all

sounds like metaphor again.

(LAUGHS)

I know, I know.

You know that physics equation

in my room?

- Yeah.

- That's what it is to me.

And I still haven't

finished that.

But what I can tell you,

is if you and Aaron,

you stay one more day,

you go fishing in the lake,

and you go out

to this buoy,

you dive straight down and you

grab what you find there.

You're gonna have

your answer.

You know how culty

that sounds, right?

Confirm this thing

for yourself...

and you've gotta admit it.

There it is.

A higher power?

A governing force?

God?

Infinity solved.

Now, wouldn't that be

a weight off your shoulders?

And if you like having that

weight gone,

you and Aaron have

a home here.

Even after the third moon.

Aaron, get on up here.

Get on up there!

Get on!

Whoo!

Ow!

Whoo, whoo, whoo!

Here we go.

(MUSIC STARTS)

There is a house

in Camp Arcadia

(CHEERING, YELLING)

They call

the Rising Sun

My brother was

a photographer

(SINGING CONTINUES, FADES)

You call that red stuff

"the flower," right?

Yeah.

This has been

really good for me.

Well, it's not over yet.

Okay.

So I happen to have

this other talent

that's not making clothes

where I can measure

the exact amount of drugs in my

lungs at any given time.

If I were to measure out an

exact amount for you

that won't make you feel

weird or sick

or paranoid or anything

like that,

would that be something that

you're interested in?

Uh...

And there's no pressure

at all. I'm not...

No. No, let's do it.

- Really?

- Let's do it. Come on.

Come on, before I...

Just follow my lead.

Okay, hold on.

Come here.

(WHOOSHING)

(WHOOSHING)

(HEART BEATING)

(COUGHING)

How do I know

when I'm high?

Come here. Come walk with me.

I'll show you.

You know, Tolkien said it,

Lewis said it,

Lovecraft perverted it,

and we just take the definite

face off of it

and we just say, "Hey, here are

the tools,

but you make it what you want."

Totally. And the interesting

thing about that is

when you look at things like the Hopi...

(CONVERSATION FADES)

It's the gun-nut

tweaker guy.

Yeah, that looks like

a gun-nut tweaker.

(WOMAN CRYING)

How is that possible?

It's like a...

like a heat blur.

You know, it's a natural

illusion.

It has to do with solar winds

and magnetic poles and...

Um...

No. I have no idea.

Nobody in the camp does,

but they're all around the camp

in a perfect circle.

It's why we use a circle emblem.

You usually need the flower to

see it this clearly.

Is the reflection solid?

Can you go through it?

Hmm.

This is why you sent me

that video.

What?

The video you sent us talking

about the ascension.

No, I didn't.

I mean, yes, I made videos in

case you or my sister

or someone came back to the

camp and we weren't here,

but, no, I didn't.

I didn't send that.

That's really strange because we
