The Good Night Page #2

a bit of the original please?

Thank you.

Wanna do something fun

for dinner tomorrow night?

- Yeah, like what?

- I don't know.

Anyone you want to see?

Any place you want to go?

I don't know.

I'll think of something fun. I'll surprise you.

You shouldn't have said anything.

- We don't have to.

- No, I want to.

Okay.

- Are you going to read for a long time?

- I'm just going to finish this chapter.

I have to get up early.

Okay.

- Love you.

- Me, too.

Hello.

I'm so excited to see you again.

Could you please tell me your name?

I'm Anna.

I'm Gary.

How are you?

I'm fine, Gary.

I'm all for you.

F*** it.

F*** it!

- What is it? Are you okay?

- Just had a nightmare.

- About what?

- I don't know.

I was blind and lost,

or drowning or something.

- Try to relax.

- Rats were eating my pillow.

For you.

For you.

For you.

For you. For you. For you.

For you.

- Don't come in, I'm in here!

- What?

I was just...

- Oh, my God.

- What?

It's 7:
00 in the morning.

Do you know how weird that is?

- Well, sometimes I just... You know?

- This is so sad.

You're a f***ed-up person.

Dora, listen, I don't... Christ, I don't know...

You have problems.

Make sure you scrub out the sink.

Gary? Gary? Are you here?

Gazo!

Hey, mate. Have you seen her yet?

- Here she is! No. Have you seen her?

- No.

She's, like, sort of tall and hot,

in a kind of short, ugly way.

Paul, why is she coming here?

You're such an idiot.

Someone's going to see you.

What if Terry finds out?

- Then it's curtains, isn't it?

- Exactly. How can it be worth it?

What are you talking about, worth it?

It's like being on tour again.

She wants to be a gymnast.

Have you any idea

how flexible those chicks can get?

- A gymnast? What is she, 11 years old?

- That's what I said to her!

I said,

"Your tits are too big to be a gymnast."

Because they've got to be flat

and, like, super Chinese, you know?

Why are we in a f***ing hobbit hole?

We're not in a hobbit hole.

I'm just checking some things out.

Don't touch my books.

Listen, do you have a lot of dreams?

- What does that mean?

- Well, do you have dreams?

Like, I don't know, dreams that, when

you're sleeping, that you have one night,

and then the next night you have it again.

I don't mean the same dream,

but say, one closely related

to the one you had before?

Well, I don't know, probably.

I don't really remember my dreams.

Unless I leave a little something in my PJ's,

if you know what I'm saying.

Well, yeah. This is...

These are all PJ dreams,

but without the "leaving something."

I've had a couple of them and they just...

They were amazing.

I just thought I'd find out about it.

Okay, well, now you come to mention it,

I did have a dream once

where I killed a man,

which is pretty cool.

And I f***ed my mother.

I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

No, I'm not. But it was sick. I didn't enjoy it.

Yes, I did.

Look, don't tell Dora I said that

because that's, like, bad.

That is bad.

- There she is.

- This her?

Yeah, she's waiting for me.

- Hey. Hey, how're you doing?

- Hi.

- Don't kiss me.

- Okay.

This is Gary. He works for me.

- Hi.

- Hi, Gary.

- You're the keyboardist?

- Yeah.

- Tica with a "T."

- Hi.

- Oh, wow. I'm just such a big fan.

- Oh, thank you.

She is, honestly. She knows all the words

to Checkpoint Carlos.

She likes to hum it when we're in bed.

Do you like any of the other songs?

Checkpoint Carlos is really

one of my favorite ones.

We should get the hell out of here

because we've got stuff to do.

You make up those changes

and call my assistant,

- because she'll know where I am, okay?

- All right.

- Take it easy.

- Don't slap it.

Whatever, let's rock.

Excuse me?

Can you tell me, do these books tell you

what your dreams mean?

Yeah. Yeah, those books will tell you

everything you need to know.

But see this book right here?

I mean, this book will tell you sh*t

you didn't even want to know.

I mean, because, like, Alan Weigert's like

the John Grisham of lucid dreaming.

All right. Of what, sorry?

You want a tip?

Yeah, what?

You want to learn about dreams

and dreaming, right?

Yeah. It seems interesting, yeah.

Okay. I've got a place you should go.

Okay.

- Everything is going to be okay, honey.

- Go on. Go on, cry your eyes out.

You're a sick human.

If it happens again, Mel, I'll call the cops.

- They were egging me on, man.

- They're children, for God's sake.

- You know how dark kids can be?

- No, I don't.

Little horrible adults in tiny bodies.

I didn't do anything.

I heard you, Mel. You can't call

a seven-year-old girl a vapid narcissist.

They just stand there,

staring at themselves in a mirror!

They're supposed to be looking

in the mirror. It's part of the exercise.

- Turn-out into pas de boure.

- Don't be mad at me

just because you hate yourself.

- At 6:
00 the room is mine.

- What? What did you say?

- You heard me.

- There is always going to be some overlap.

It's a small room.

We're trying to make it work.

Listen, you speak to one of my girls

like that again,

there will be consequences.

- Meanie!

- Lolita!

See, honey? Just like my father.

- Anabella, did you bring the Jell-O?

- You said pudding on Tuesday.

- Hi.

- Yo, my man! Karate's at 7:00.

No, no. I'm here for the dreaming.

This is the lucid dreaming group?

- Yeah.

- Great.

Unhappy with your life?

Looking for some control?

Maybe, yeah.

Let's get to it, people!

- All right, Constance and Bomba?

- Yeah?

You team. Rita and Shiraz, you hook up.

Come on. Get in, get in, get in. Look at it.

Check it out. Open up. Open up for him.

Yoshi, Sherry, you do that, you pair up.

...like, through the rooms,

and there was all these people.

People are in there, you know?

And then, the thing about it is, you know...

Look, you don't want to read

any of those books by Alan Weigert.

- Really? Why not? They seem pretty good.

- They're illusion.

They should be in the fiction section.

He's a sellout.

What you want are hard-hitting facts.

What you need is the truth.

I wrote it myself. Begin at Chapter 1.

You gotta look at your hands

just before you go to sleep. That's the thing.

That's the biggest thing in a lucid dream.

You gotta, you know, study each line

and crack and imperfection.

Gotta get a long-lasting impression

in your mind,

because they are your safety blanket

in the dream state.

In case the nightmare begins

or some stressful event

creates a dream monster,

you have to use this technique to stop it

while you're still sleeping.

- Otherwise, you'll wake up...

- Sorry, did you say "dream monster"?

- Yeah.

- You're kidding.

No. It's like getting shot, falling down,

or being chased around,

all the classic side effects

of a dream monster.

- So it's not like a real monster?

- Could be.

To some people, it's a feeling

that knocks them out of the dream.

For others, it's a giant Muppet.

It's different for everybody.

And the thing about when you go to sleep,
