- Hi.

- Hi.

- Pluto.

- Jellyfish.

Did you find the place okay?

Yeah.

Good.

You look better than I thought.

Really?

Yeah.

Your emails are just so depressing.

My emails were depressing?

Yeah.

Well, looks like the rain stopped.

It should be a nice, sunny day.

I don't like the sun.

Yeah, me neither.

You've brought your computer.

- That's good.

- Yeah.

- Let me just take that.

- What do you want it for?

I just wanna be able

to get rid of the evidence.

I don't... I don't want

any record of our correspondence.

I don't want everyone

getting all depressed

over me being...

you know, me being dead.

Tell me about it.

Wanna go?

Okay.

- I f***ing hate Messiah.

- Well...

- I hope he dies.

- Me too.

He's, like, one of those saviors,

you know.

He's trying to...

trying to save the world,

stop everyone

from hurting themselves

or committing suicide.

I hate those people.

He should just

mind his own business.

There are people who want to be saved

by people like him though...

people who leave

all these comments,

people like Nursery.

Nursery.

She's pretty, huh?

Yeah, she's pretty.

Who do you like on that site?

I like you.

Who do you hate?

Needle and Grimalkin.

They're both me.

Are you schizophrenic?

Maybe.

I get that a lot.

There's a little store up here.

I'm gonna stop,

grab a couple of things.

It's the last one for a while, so...

- Is that okay?

- Yeah.

10% off next time.

Thanks.

Have a nice day.

Here.

Sorry, I...

I bought a bunch of stuff.

Oh, that's...

that's okay.

We'll just have a party.

I'm sure that

that $10 wasn't enough.

It's fine.

I added my own money.

I don't mind giving you some more.

I guess I don't need it anymore.

Right?

Right.

Let's go.

So...

have you thought about

how we're gonna die?

Yeah. I mean, some.

Some, I guess.

How about you?

I don't want it to hurt too much.

I'm kind of scared of guns.

I don't wanna jump off

something high either.

I mean,

I'm sure it feels great

when you're falling,

but it probably hurts when you land.

I definitely don't want

my head smashed in.

I mean,

can you imagine

if at that last moment?

You're like, "Damn, my face,"

and that was your last thought?

That'd be the worst.

So you don't want it to be messy.

I'd say so.

What about you?

I just want it to be over.

This is the worst muffin

I've ever had in my life.

I can't just end it

like this.

There's a Thai place up the road.

Were you holding out on me?

No, I wasn't holding out on you.

I just...

I didn't think you'd be hungry.

I can't just...

end it with a shitty old muffin.

This is it.

So we should probably

just get it to go, right?

What?

I just...

I don't want anyone to see us.

No, let's eat in.

I don't think that's a good idea.

You're being paranoid

No one's gonna be looking at us.

- Let's eat in.

- No. Listen.

Yes, I just... I really don't want

anyone to see us, okay?

Is that okay?

When we die,

none of it's gonna matter anyway.

Look, I just...

you know what? I don't even know why

we're going in here in the first place.

I think we should

just be going. I think...

I don't want anyone to see us.

I just wanna go.

- Takeout... take...

- I just want... I just wanna go.

Takeout will be fine.

What do you want?

Come on.

I'm not going in.

I don't want anyone to see us.

I'm gonna go in.

I wanna eat in.

Well, you know what? Then why

don't you just jump off a bridge?

I got this for you.

He wanted to come with us.

You don't wanna stop, do you?

Dying?

I just...

I wanted my last day to be perfect.

But this sucks.

I failed.

No, you didn't fail.

You didn't fail.

Mm.

It's not so bad.

Try it.

It's a car accident.

I have an idea.

You wanna give it a shot?

What?

I have an idea.

What?

What if we drained our blood?

You mean like slit our wrists?

- No.

- I don't want a bloodbath.

No, no, no.

It's not like that.

We just use a syringe?

And you just drain the blood

out of yourself.

It's a really quick

and easy way to die.

I don't love pain.

Don't worry.

There won't be any pain.

You know, there's actually

a warehouse just up here.

I think we could...

we could probably do it there.

What do you think?

I mean, either way.

Just an idea.

Cops.

Must be an accident.

The horses have escaped.

And don't worry.

It doesn't hurt.

Apparently it's totally painless.

When I was young,

I wanted to be Cinderella.

A prince would come

with a glass slipper

and slip it on my feet

and take me away.

Mickey Mouse was actually a rabbit.

- Bullshit.

- It's true.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Here.

You should take these.

Sleeping pills.

Oh, it's okay.

I brought my own.

No, these are the ones though

that you really wanna take.

Okay.

I'll get you some water.

- Here.

- What about you?

Yeah, I... I'm just gonna...

I'll drain your blood.

And once that's finished,

I'll finish myself off.

It's 'cause I know

how to use the instruments.

It's just easier that way, I guess.

Okay.

I'll get set up.

You mind if I go pee?

I'm just gonna go over here.

Okay.

I'm gonna take

your boots off, okay?

You ready?

Okay.

This is an old shipyard, yeah?

Yeah.

I guess there's no way

to properly lock this place up.

Sure, but, you know,

you can get in anywhere, so...

Right.

How long would you say it's been

since this freezer's been moved?

Uh, I don't remember.

Maybe two years.

Stop. Stop.

So...

have you ever been

jealous of a butterfly?

Sure, you guys are young.

You're very young,

so you don't think about it,

but in general human beings...

we live;

we grow up; we die.

That's it.

But what if,

when we got older,

we could form

a chrysalis?

Burst out of it, you know.

All of a sudden we've got wings.

We're flying around.

We can stay up all night,

eat whatever we want,

have all the sex we want.

Sounds like a good life, right?

Butterfly is better.

You're right, Brian.

That's a good answer.

So today we're talking

about the mechanism behind molting,

so essentially why animals molt.

- Holy sh*t.

- What the f...?

What are you doing?

Ma'am, is everything okay?

What's your name?

Who is she?

Her name's Helga.

Her son's a high school teacher.

Where's he?

I guess he would be

working right now.

So you're a high school teacher?

Uh, yeah.

A biology teacher.

All right, thanks, Scott.

We'll take it from here.

Look, sir, what have you been

doing with this woman?

- Are you imprisoning her?

- Imprisoning her?

No, no, no. I'm just making sure she

can't get out of her room, that's it.

That's what imprisoning is,

Mr. Williams.

You're holding her against her will.

And what's with those balloons?

She has Alzheimer's.

My mother's a wanderer.

She could get into trouble.

She could hurt herself.

I'm sorry, but that doesn't justify

keeping her bound all day.

So what would you

suggest I do?

I mean, stay home

with her all day? Quit my job?

- I don't understand.

- No.

Just... would you try it on?

Try it on.

I'll show you how it works.
