Three Inches Page #7

I wanna be happy.

Not like this.

I'm sorry, Brandon.

You think I'm an idiot.

No.

No, I don't.

Come on.

I'm normal.

That's what you guys

call me, right?

Captain Normal?

What's wrong with normal?

Everything.

[ Train whistle blows ]

Thank you for saving me.

You're welcome.

Sorry if I got you in trouble.

Trouble is my business.

Trouble really isn't

his business.

The important thing is that

you can be a real girl now.

What about you?

Don't you want to be a real boy?

No. I mean... Yes.

I...

[ Sighs ]

I'm just me.

We'll never see you again, huh?

I hope not.

Goodbye, Cassie.

Bye, Walter.

[ Engine turns over ]

[ Car horns soaring ]

[ Blaring stops ]

Cute kid.

Super sweet.

Hungry?

Golden Apple is open.

I like pie.

This is my favorite place.

Why?

This is where lightning hit me.

What are you gonna do now?

I don't know.

I could go home

and pretend like we never met.

You could probably erase

my mind, right?

[ Chuckles ]

Maybe I'll run away

like Cassie did.

Don't go.

We need you.

Stay with the team.

I don't have

a lot of friends, Walter.

I was hoping

you could be my friend?

Why?

Because you're smart...

Funny...

And easy to talk to.

Everybody wants to be my friend.

[ Chuckles ]

Another superpower?

Sometimes it feels more like

an unnecessary limitation.

If I was running

across a summer lawn

and my mother called my name

because it was time

for dinner...

My name's Tess.

It's my secret identity.

It is important...

Imperative...

That I be able to trust

the members of my team...

Every single one.

And if I can't... if there's

the slightest doubt...

What are you doing here?

I set Cassie free. It's my fault.

I set Cassie free.

It's my fault.

I set Cassie free.

It's my fault.

Carlos:
They rose to their feet

and ripped off an old movie

dad would never shut up about.

I set Cassie free.

It's my fault.

Had this guy in it

with a big dent in his chin.

I set Cassie free.

It's my fault.

They did it

because they were a team.

They did it because the guy

before them did it.

They did it to blow your mind.

HQ. is my responsibility.

It's my fault.

I'm sorry, dad.

Dad?

You didn't know?

No, if Nobody tells me.

Walter, follow me.

Well done.

Even better than I expected.

I'm confused.

Yeah.

I once told you

I was a private contractor.

With good intentions

and a clear conscience.

Thanks to you,

my conscience is clear.

I'm still confused.

I was hired to retrieve

a package.

The package turned out

to be a little girl.

That's not

what I signed on for.

The client used me.

They use you, too.

They put me

into a difficult position.

I had to get Cassie out of there

safe and sound,

but I needed plausible

deniability at the same time.

That's where you came in...

A disgruntled former employee

hell-bent on saving the day.

I just wanted to help Cassie,

'cause all she wanted

was be a real...

[ Scoffs ] Wait a minute.

You knew?!

Yeah, I trusted you to do

the right thing.

And you didn't let me down.

It's a nice work, Walter.

I hope you'll change your mind

about quitting.

What do you say?

Give us a second chance.

[ Chuckles ]

Good.

What the hell

happened out there?

I put my trust in someone

who didn't deserve it.

There's gonna be hell to pay.

I expect that.

Questions about

your reliability.

I expect that, too.

Contracting you was my idea.

Don't make me regret,

or you could find yourself,

uh, isolated.

Don't be unkind.

You be careful.

I'll be careful, too.

We used to be on the same team.

Well, I got my own team now

I like this one better.

I'll be in touch.

[ Dog barks ]

Walter. Hey.

Flyin' high

live a little, baby,

before we die

goin' strong

can't stop, babe

live a little, baby,

before we're gone

Oh, yeah

[ Door closes ]

When I was struck by lightning,

a strange power

was given to me.

I resist at the first

I eventually found common cause

with a group of similarly gifted

men and women who fight evil.

So, basically,

I'm not washing dogs anymore.

I'm gonna save

the world instead.

[ Record player clicks ]

Walter:

My name is Walter Spackman.

I'm 26 years old,

and this is the best break

I ever had.

But if I knew what happened

next, I wouldn't dance...

I'd run.

Are you ready?

Are you ready?
