Walter Page #5
This is crazy!
Walter, it's okay, honey.
No, no, no...
Okay, look, take a deep breath
and come sit down
for a moment, okay?
She is a nurse, listen to her!
Okay, Darren...
I should go.
I loved him!
If that matters.
So did I.
And it doesn't.
Hey!
Told you it was a bad idea.
Why didn't you say anything?
Look, man, I had my own sh*t
to figure out here.
How was I supposed
to know about...
Wait, you knew about Jim
Look, I think maybe we should,
uhh, calm down a bit, before...
Answer the question.
Of course I f***in' knew.
You gonna try
and tell me you didn't?
What?
I mean, really.
How long do we keep doing this?
I didn't even know
that she existed
until you brought me
over here yourself.
We both know nothing happened
that you didn't already know.
No, no, no. Everything made
Everything made sense
until you started
thinkin' about sh*t.
No, no-no, no-no.
Don't, don't.
Don't!
Hey, man, why am I still here?
Leave me alone!
If you wanted me
to leave you alone,
you would have done your job!
But maybe,
it's not really
your job, after all.
How do you know?
Come on.
Really? We're doing that?
Alright.
Leave me alone!
Okay.
You know, I did a
little cross-country
in high school.
Plus I'm dead!
So I don't have to,
you know, breathe!
"outrunning me" plan!
Leave me alone!
That worked out well for ya.
Get outta here.
You know, I forgave her.
Allie.
A long time ago, actually.
That's the funny thing
about bein' dead:
things that you'd expect to.
See, the only thing that
really sticks with you,
haunts you even,
is the overwhelming feeling
that you were alive,
you f***ing existed,
and you wasted it.
Ten years is
a long time to waste.
You ready?
You tell me.
Walt?
Mom.
I heard...
I sent Jim to Hell.
What?
I sent Jim to Hell
right after he died,
and there's nothing
I can do about it now.
Are you feeling okay?
Would you like me
to make you some eggs?
I'm not hungry.
Maybe I should make up a batch,
just in case your body is so
calorie-deprived you're...
starting to feed on your organs.
I'm not hungry, Mom.
Now see, that's the thing
about the more advanced
stages of starvation...
I'm not f***ing hungry!
I sent him to Hell.
Don't you want to know why?
You're not making any sense.
but you knew, didn't you?
I think you need some sleep...
He broke your heart.
That's what you need.
Walt... He broke your heart,
and I sent him to Hell for it.
Walt... You used to be different.
You used to be happy.
You weren't always like...
Like what?
Like this!
Your father was a good man!
And her husband...
that woman had a husband,
in case you didn't know that,
and he killed himself, Walt...
because Jim and Allie cared
more about themselves
than they ever did
about anybody else!
Your father made a mistake!
Now, you can't
blame him for that!
Jim wasn't my father.
Will you stop it?
You stop it, right now!
He wasn't perfect!
But he loved us, and you.
He loved you more than anything!
More than Allie?
That's enough!
Do you wanna know what
broke my heart, Walt?
Really?
Because it wasn't just him
messing around with some nurse,
he was dying.
Yeah, that hurt.
And I let him know.
But it couldn't erase
a lifetime with him.
Not even close!
And it wasn't even him dying.
I had the strength to get us
through losing him.
And you're right,
I was different then.
I was strong, Walt!
I was strong enough
to watch him die!
But it wasn't losing him
that broke me!
It was losing you
that killed me.
Now there's eggs on the wall,
and on the floor,
if you're hungry.
Hell, hell.
Hell.
Hell.
Hell, hell, hell. Hell.
Theatre 6 down the hall
to your right. Hell.
Theatre 1, down the hall
to your left.
Hell.
Theatre 6, hell.
Hell. Hell.
You're all going to hell!
- What?
- All of you.
Okay.
You look like sh*t.
Forgive me for stating the
obvious, but it's so obvious
I felt personally and
professionally obligated
When's the last time you slept?
I don't know.
Ate?
Eggs.
I think I had eggs.
When?
I don't... I don't remember.
Well, I won't ask about bathing,
'cause I think I know
the answer to that one.
How's Greg?
You know, your ghost friend.
I thought you didn't
wanna talk about Greg.
I don't, but you do, right?
Not anymore.
Well, that's why
we're here, right?
Your ghost problem?
I'm not crazy.
Are you sure?
I don't...
I don't know. I... I...
You're just supposed to...
What am I supposed to do?
Just stop. Just stop.
What am I doing, Walter?
You know!
You know! You...
you always know what you...
God, you know exactly what...
I can't... I can't.
I don't know. I don't know.
I don't know. I don't know.
I had control.
You can sit there,
and you can... and you can
tell me what's real,
and what's crazy,
and what's total bullshit
and you can say that
I'm just some kid who doesn't
know how to function properly
in the world, you can say all
that. Okay? Fine. Fine.
But I had control.
I woke up every day
and I went outside,
and I did something.
I did something. I never...
I never made excuses
for why life is unfair, I...
I... figured out my place.
I see so many people
that are just...
they're just wasting
so much time,
doing nothing.
And that's crazy.
That's crazy.
They're...
Things can happen. Things can
happen. They can be bad.
They can be worse than bad.
They... they...
they can destroy you
if you let them.
If you even acknowledge them,
they can destroy you,
so I took control
and I made rules,
and I followed them
without question,
and I... and I...
I thought... I just thought...
I thought that if I did that,
then nothing...
could tear me apart,
the way... the way that
cancer did with Jim,
that life did with my mom.
Sounds crazy?
Does this sound crazy?
I know this... I know.
I know it sounds crazy,
I know it sounds crazy, I...
I probably am crazy.
I just...
I just need you to help me.
I just need you to help me.
That's what I...
I just need...
I just need you to help me.
I need help.
I'm sorry.
You know how something
really funny
just pops into your head
at like the worst times?
And the more you try
not to laugh,
the funnier... here I was,
sitting here,
hoping for something
really good,
some legit case-study
crazy sh*t.
And instead...
...and this is the funny part,
the joke I can't help
but laughing at...
you're not crazy.
What do you mean?
You're fine.
This is okay.
You're not crazy.
You are not crazy.
You just forgot to grieve.
Time's up.
Hey, Walter...
I don't mean to put you
on the spot or anything,
I don't know.
I'll see you next week.
Mom?
Mom?
How'd you sleep?
