I am a seer.

I see the veiny,

deformed...

face of the world.

(thunder rumbling)

(Becca whimpering)

(yells)

(object thuds)

(grunts)

(thuds)

(grunts)

(knob clatters on floor)

(whimpering)

We can all be

saved tonight.

Your magic spell

will be lifted.

(thuds)

No!

(grunts, groans)

Becca!

(Becca gasps)

Have you been

watching me?

BECCA:

Run, Tyler! Run!

(Tyler yelling)

Eyes on the runner!

Watch his hips!

Watch his hips!

(yells, grunts)

Stay low!

Wrap the arms!

Wrap the arms!

Tyler?

(yelling)

(sirens blaring, faint)

Tyler!

No!

Any other

crazy b*tch-ass

f***ing people here?

(sirens continue)

Come on out!

Come on out!

(yelling)

(chorus vocalizing)

(lush orchestral score)

(vocalizing continues)

(vocalizing continues)

LORETTA:

Becca! Tyler!

Babies!

(all crying)

I'm here.

I'm here.

I'm here.

MAN:

Is this everybody?

Come over here.

(vocalizing continues)

We need an ambulance!

Hurry up!

Over here!

MAN #2:

Yo, Jimmy,

watch that front door!

(ends)

BECCA:

Mom, honestly, you know

you don't have to do this.

I wanna do this for you.

I used to sing.

My mother used to say

that she wasn't listening,

but I know she was hiding

behind this big clock

down the hall,

a kitchen towel

over her mouth

to hide her smile.

She thought

I had a better voice

than Olivia Newton-John.

Olivia Newton-John was,

like, her Elvis.

My father

was a gentle man.

We'd take these

long walks together.

We'd never say a word.

I used to wake up early

when I was a child,

work on some project.

(sniffles)

My father thought that meant

I was gonna do great things.

Anyway, as I said before,

the day I--

the day I left

turned really badly.

My parents cursed at me.

I moved to the door to leave

and my mom stepped

in front of me.

I hit my mother.

And then my dad hit me,

and then we kinda

stood there in shock,

and then I left.

They reached out to me

soon after.

I refused

to take their calls.

(chuckles)

I know you were trying to

get me forgiveness, Becca.

You didn't have

to do that, honey.

It was there

whenever I wanted it.

(sniffles)

(sniffles)

Please,

don't hold on

to anger, Becca.

You hear me?

(mouths word)

Okay.

(sobbing)

(sniffles, sobs)

(no audible dialogue)

Happy birthday

to you

Blow them out!

Okay, okay!

Yay!

Yeah!

(rapping):

I may be thirteen,

may not live in the hood

May not carry no chrome,

may not be allowed

a cell phone at dinner

But I'm young

and can do 18 push-ups

and I speak the truth

My sister tried

to make a film about

old people feeling dismay

But it didn't

turn out that way

She had to scream and kill

and got vomit in her face

Chunks in her hair

from a stew

But she washed them out

with Herbal Essence

Body Envy Shampoo

So here's a few things

T-Diamond learned

from visiting elders

Adult diapers

come in many a name

There's Attends and Depends

and Medline and Prevail

But they all the same

They keep your mess

from spilling out

And they keep it contained

So here's the truth

I got messed up with a killer

who's truly insane

I will try not to refrain,

try to overcome my pain

'Cause one day

it will get me my fame

Like 50 Cent getting shot

and being lame

You see

I got a diaper shoved

in my face for half an hour

I thought it was over

I thought I'd be

under the ground

Growing four-leaf clovers

Some dude going over me

with a mower

But that's not

what happened, you see,

'cause I went all mental

I was like Mel Gibson

at the end

of a Lethal Weapon rental

I'm straight now

I'm not gonna lie

For three weeks

that diaper left me

like a basket case

I had to use two

whole Dove bars on my face

And one last thing

and I don't mean to sicken

But the truth is

Sh*t doesn't taste

like chicken

Oh!

Shania Twain, b*tches!

MAN:

No man can hold me down

(hip-hop)

Yeah, I walks on fire

I walks on water

I walks on sand

and I walks on land

Can you hear me now?

Hey, can you feel me now?

Yeah, I walks on fire

I walks on water

I walks on sand

and I walks on land

Can you hear me now?

Hey, can you feel me now?

No one can hold me down

(violin)

(violin continues)

(violin continues)

(ends)
