We Don't Belong Here Page #2

---

that boy a lot?

Yeah, I guess.

Do you think about

having sex with him?

I mean, we don't really, like,

know each other that well.

I mean, we talk here and there.

Can I see a picture of him?

If you don't mind.

I think I have one in my phone.

Here.

He looks like he does drugs.

How would you know about that?

Well, I am a doctor,

and I have had some experiences

with that in the past.

A little too much, I'm afraid.

It was not a good thing.

Oh. Figure it out.

That's what I'm gonna

leave you with today.

Figure it out?

Yeah, figure it out.

And keep taking your medication.

Hey, Mom, it's Madeline.

I didn't get the job

that I told you about.

So anyways,

I'm gonna fly home tonight.

I just feel like you and Lily

need me right now.

See you tonight.

My sister Madeline

is well-adjusted

and therefore superior

to the rest of us.

This is so...

great, us being together again.

She annoys the sh*t out of me.

What are you doing here?

I'm moving back in for a while.

Really?

Oh.

Don't sound so excited.

Uh...

We're excited.

Super excited.

Why don't you talk

to Elisa anymore, Mom?

Are we supposed to act

like she doesn't exist?

Will you stop?

I saw her in a magazine

and her website.

Stop.

Stop it.

May I be excused?

Yeah, you're excused.

You need to pay attention

to her, Mom.

She's clearly not well.

Madeline,

you're not here with her.

Every day, I see her.

I've seen how she's progressed.

She's really doing great.

How's Max?

I haven't talked to him

in a while.

I haven't spoken to him either.

He doesn't return

my phone calls and...

Do you think he's gay?

I don't have any idea

about that.

Elisa's diary.

Elisa by the pond.

A man named Frank Harper.

Who are you?

Max in the closet.

Time travel.

Elisa?

Elisa?

Elisa in a closet.

Mom, I'm scared.

Where's Max at?

Max by the pond.

The bad man.

Love you.

Love you.

Don't know well if I do

What I am here to do

In my head

Don't know well if there's

Sanity or not

Sanity or not

Sanity or not

Sanity or not

Sanity or not

Sanity or not

Sanity or not

Sanity or not

Hi.

Morning.

Wanna go shopping or something?

No,

I have a doctor's appointment.

Yeah?

Didn't you go yesterday?

Yeah.

Sunday, Monday, Thursday.

Wow.

That's a lot.

It's really good though.

It's great.

You seem off.

Did you take your meds?

Yes.

I told Mom to tell you

to stop asking me about my sh*t.

Why?

It's good to have support.

You know?

Plus, the key to you having

an amazing life is medication.

Is that so?

Mm-hm.

An amazing life?

Yeah.

You're the worst.

Max told me he was gay once.

Just me, nobody else.

I was 12

and it made me feel important.

Then he took it back.

He asked me not to tell anyone.

I never did.

It's time for checks, Maxwell.

Maxwell?

A few days, but he

doesn't want to talk to you.

I'm sorry. I'll try and get him

to call you later.

Can you please...

Max is gonna go to Elisa's.

Is that okay?

Yeah, it's... It's...

Yeah.

We are discharging him

this afternoon.

Thank you so much.

Of course, Nancy.

Thank you, doctor.

I'll look forward to hearing

from you soon then, right?

I'm sure he'll call you later.

Okay. Thank you.

I think my

mother's greatest fear

is that Max will leave

the same way Elisa did.

What would she have then?

What are you

looking for up there?

Just looking.

Oh, no, no, no, I shouldn't.

Thank you.

What did you do that for?

Because the nurses just hate it.

Dan, you better stop that

or you're gonna lose

all your privileges.

Smoking break is over,

time for group.

Oh, and they approved your taxi

for this evening.

Where are you going?

Eight, seven...

six.

Sh*t.

- Hey.

- Hi.

You seem good today.

I am good.

I'm better, thanks.

I just...

I wish that...

I don't know.

I'm very happy

that Maxwell's safe.

I just want the family

I came here with...

I'm entitled, I feel...

I feel entitled to that,

that's all.

Lily isn't taking her

medication.

Well,

what would you like me to do?

I'm tired

of being the grown-up.

Someone is

watching me, helping me.

I look for signs.

Everything is in plain sight.

A puzzle.

There it is, Harper.

Harper.

Miss?

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to scare you.

You...

I'm Frank.

You're Frank Harper?

Yeah, this is my store.

Just opened last week.

You wanna come in?

Thief.

Excuse me?

You heard me.

Thank you.

These are for you.

Thank you.

What?

So last night I was, you know...

thinking, and I just...

That if my husband was alive,

that...

I thought your husband

was lovely.

Just so you know that.

Thanks.

Are you sleeping with someone?

I guess that's a no.

You're the only person I like.

That's not hard.

Hey, let's get out of here.

Let's run away.

Uh...

Well, you're too late.

I got old waiting around

for you.

Aah... You are very smart.

I really am.

Look at that.

Beautiful.

See, I like our little dates.

Me too.

I do.

I look forward to them all week.

Does your husband know about us?

So I've been reading up

on bipolar disorder.

Reading up, I thought...

Aren't you a doctor?

Do you think you have

superpowers?

No.

Have you been taking

your medication?

Yes.

Do you like soap operas?

What?

You know, like TV melodramas?

Maybe you're attracted to

a dramatic environment.

Have you ever thought that

or like, you know,

dramatic state of mind?

Are you familiar with

the laws of attraction?

Are you even a real doctor?

What's wrong?

My mind... I don't know.

My mind isn't safe.

I don't feel like my mind

is safe.

How is your mind not safe?

Sometimes I feel

like I'm going crazy.

Then I'm fine,

but I'm not fine.

And I'm... And I'm never...

I'm never gonna be fine.

You are gonna be fine,

I promise you.

You are.

You're gonna be fine.

Oh, no, no, no.

I'm just...

I'm just nervous.

About leaving the hospital?

What's wrong?

I've been...

Are you still a little shaky

with the language there?

No. No, no, no.

Just...

Everything should just be okay,

I should be able to move on

and be in a better place.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about the way

that I'm speaking right now,

but it should be...

If things are so bad,

if things are so bad

and you move through it,

and you go through it,

and you live through it,

then everything

should just be good.

Things should just be good.

Am I wrong?

I'm alive and I...

I don't belong in here.

I really don't belong in here.

Right?

I don't.

What on earth are you doing

all the way out here?

"I saw the best

minds of my generation

"destroyed by madness.

"Starving, hysterical, naked.

"Dragging themselves through

the negro streets at dawn.

"Looking for an angry fix.

Angel-headed hipsters."

Madeline, you're liking it?

You are?

Okay, one more paragraph,

then you go to bed, okay?

"Who were expelled

from the academies..."

Fade away

Wondering

Hey, lady.

What took so long?

What's up?

What's up

is I brought you something.

Nice.

You know, we should, like,
