The I Inside Page #2

There was a fight over | their father's estate

maybe you read about it

Anyway after the accident

This is the hospital you were | taken to, I know that much

Wait a minute | I was here before?

I really need a cigarette

So, we have our two moments | Simon

Both were accidents | both led you to St Jude's

I can't remember

It doesn't make sense

None of this makes | any f***ing sense

Two days ago | you came up here

to close up your | parents' house

It's been sitting here | for two years, ever since...

Anyway, you finally | agreed to let it go

You were going | to pack up the furniture

fix some of the fixtures | finish the old staircase and

Refinish?

Interesting

Not really, it's a gorgeous place | but it's falling apart

No, No, what I mean is

well, one or two of Simon's | enzyme counts are lower than | normal

But I thought you said | I was okay

I said practically, kid

But your lower enzymes | are an indication

that somehow your | bloodstream was poisoned

Are you saying someone | tried to poison him?

I'm not trying | to say anything

But it's highly possible

that your condition was | caused by fumes

from certain cleaning | solutions or varnishes

trapped in an enclosed space

- So now what? | - Well, you'll be fine

We've got you an atropane

We'll reactivate your | cholinesterase

with one of the doximes

The sooner you can eat | something, the better

I've scheduled an MRI

to make sure that | everything is A okay

So, if you'll excuse me

I'm sure you've seen enough | of me to last you a lifetime

I'll check back in | with you in a few...

Anna?

You can drop the pretense now | you smug f***

My God, I knew you were | a good liar

but this performance | is unbelievable!

I don't know what the hell | you're talking about

Then I'd pay | closer attention

Don't think you're going to win | this little game of yours

because I'm a much better | player than you are

This is about her | isn't it?

Do you think | I'm that blind?

Is she really worth this? | All of it?

Who are you talking about?

I'm talking about you

A rich little daddy's boy | in way over his head

This would actually be sad | if you weren't so pathetic

Wait! | You said Peter was dead

Of course he's dead | You killed him

Knock knock, Mr. Cable | it's time for your MRI

What happened?

Ask him | sleep well, honey

You... Hey!

Come on, home boy

I'm gonna take you | on a little trip

This isn't happening

Man, I didn't think | you could get any whiter

but you look like | you've seen a ghost

You have to lie here

So?

What'd make someone | wanna kill a nice

all-American dude | like you?

What?

Who said what? Relax, man | It's just a rumor

Everyone talks about | everything around here

Especially Nurse Clayton | Arms down, please

Nobody was trying | to kill me

It was just chemical | I was using on the stairs

Right, yeah | Fumes must've got to you

Keep your head still

Anyway, my point is this | everybody dies

No mystery there

But why and how | everyone dies?

That is a mystery | we would solve

Probably the biggest | mystery there is

Man, you're not | making any sense

I'm not the one who can't | remember what year it is

Okay

- What's your name? | - Travis

Straps, too tight?

Travis, are you going out of | your way to make me nervous?

Hell no, if I wanted | to scare you

I'd just tell you about | the number of tumors

these machines cause

You hang tight now

I don't wanna be around | when this thing starts leaking

I mean scanning

Dr. Newman will be right along | See you later

Thanks, Travis

Hey! You, in there

F***

Who is it?

Doctor Newman?

I know this sounds ridiculous | but I've got this...

terrible itch on my nose

Who is there?

Hey, I don't suppose | you can unstrap me for...

Hello?

Hello?

What are you doing?

My name is Simon Cable

You want to check | the chart or something?

I don't think I need that!

Get off me | Get the f*** off me!

Somebody! Somebody help me!

Somebody help me!

Sweet Jesus

What the hell just happened?

What are you, some kind of | a lunatic or something?

Who's that?

This is a hospital pal | not a nuthouse!

Oh, hey Doc! | Glad you could make it

We got a live one here

- How did I just get here? | - Just get into bed, Mr Cable

You shouldn't be up | and about, not yet

Who are you?

Someone just tried | to kill me

- Yeah, Wacko! | - Mr Travitt, enough

Giving him some positive | reinforcement, Doc

This is Saint Jude's | hospital

Do you know | why you're here?

I was just in the MRI room | I was strapped down mister...

No, Mr. Cable, you were admitted | into this room last night

Now, do you know | why you're here?

I wasn't in this room | last night

I was alone... | in a private room

- No offense taken | - Mr. Cable, look at me

All I want you to do | is to answer my one question

Do you know why you are in | the Saint Jude's Hospital?

Yes, because of the | staircase

See, I just need | to talk to my wife

- Your wife? | - Just find Dr. Newman

He'll know where she is

We don't have a Dr. Newman | on our staff, Mr. Cable

Now, please look, if you | don't calm down I'm...

What do you mean | you don't have a Dr. Newman?

- I was with him all last night! | - Mr. Cable, please!

The doctor who was | here today

A pediatrician

I talked to him | for about a half hour

Mr. Cable, please | Listen to me

You have been unconscious | since your car accident

No, no, it wasn't | an accident

It was poisoning | You must not have been on duty

You've been involved in a | serious road accident

And the trauma has obviously | affected your memory

- A car accident? | - Yeah

And you're lucky | to be alive, actually

- last night? | - Yeah

That's impossible

Swell going, Doc | You calmed him right down

What are you running | away from, Mr. Cable?

What were you | hoping to find?

Your mind's playing tricks | on you Mr. Cable, that's all

- There was No poison? | - No, I'm sorry

And there is no Dr. Newman | on the staff at this hospital

Look, you've been | unconscious

so the oxygen supply | throughout your system

- What's the date? | - What?

The date today?

- July 29th, why? | - And the year?

- The year? | - Yeah, What year is it?

2000!

So you're telling me

that it's the year 2000 | and I've been in a car accident

That I wasn't poisoned

and there is no | Doctor Newman

Yeah, that's right

What about my wife?

- Your wife? | - Yeah, My wife

Actually, your admission | papers have you down

as being single, | Mr. Cable

Okay, I've just spent | the entire day

wandering this hospital

talking to a Dr. Newman | My wife, a mystery woman

Orderly named Travis

now, you want me to believe | that none of this happened?

You want a cup of coffee?

I'm not crazy | I can't be

I don't doubt you believe | what you believe, Mr. Cable

The mind is a remarkable thing

Perhaps your mind is | showing you

something you need to see

So being poisoned | and nearly murdered

This is what I need | to see?

It's not for me to say
