We Don't Belong Here Page #3

---

play a game together.

Like, we could get high

and play a game together.

Like chess?

Chess? No, like, um...

truth or dare or something.

With two people?

Yeah, I guess

it doesn't make sense. Heh.

Hi, Joanne.

Oh, my God, look at you.

It's been so long.

Wow. You are such

a beautiful woman.

Boobies and everything.

Madeline once told

me that she thought

Joanne and my mom were lovers.

A strange idea

considering Mom thinks

homosexuality is a choice.

Am I the first one here?

Wow. Heh.

Madeline.

So, what are you doing now?

Um...

I do...

Well, I'm here,

so...

that's what I'm doing.

Right.

Gotcha.

Um...

What were you doing

when you were my age?

Uh... At your age...

I had two kids.

Wow. Already?

Yeah,

it was a different time then,

but, yeah, I had just had

my second child,

and I had just opened

my first gallery in the city,

so...

Yeah, I don't have a job

or kids, so...

It doesn't matter what I did

at your age, I mean,

you'll figure it out.

They always do. You know?

And besides,

would you really wanna be

living in this place

when you're my age?

What place is that?

Purgatory.

Elisa said that she was raped

by Frank Harper when she was 6.

That's heavy.

Yeah.

She said it happened,

but that it didn't happen.

And then the day

happened again like...

time travel.

Sorry.

I'm uncomfortable.

You want to hit this?

Yeah, you do.

You do.

Yes.

Yes.

Whoo!

I'm gonna record my song now.

Yeah. I'm not stopping you,

croon away.

I was just telling you.

Just do it.

I want you to leave.

I want you to get out now.

What are you...?

Leave.

Why?

What did I do?

Please.

Fine.

I'll give you your privacy.

I don't want you to come back.

Come to bed with me.

Come on, let's go to bed.

What? Are you gonna hit me?

Baby

What have you done to me?

I'm frightened

Can't you see?

You're crazy

How I'll be

I know you.

You do?

Well, who are you?

You're crazy, right?

Um...

You look scared.

Are you scared?

Are you scared?

I think you're scared.

It's okay.

I'm scared.

What the f***?

What the f*** was that?

I'm not a queer.

I didn't realize...

I'm not a f***ing queer.

You're f***ed.

My head stings.

Well, it looks a lot better now.

Thanks. Heh.

Can you throw these away?

Yeah.

I'm really sorry.

It's not your fault

that I got sick.

Okay?

I don't know.

Just stop, okay?

What do you wanna do now?

I need you to take me home.

Okay.

Just like that?

Yeah.

I love you.

I'll take you home.

I was very young

when our dad died.

He was on his way

to pick up Elisa from therapy.

Why an 11-year-old girl

would need therapy

was beyond me,

until I read about the bad man.

My mom must not know

about what happened to Elisa

at the pond, but I do.

- This is Max. Leave a message.

- Mom, are you okay?

Do you remember when you...

traded all of your Barbies

for all of Maxwell's collection

of little race cars,

remember that?

No, I don't.

I got so mad at you

and I was really mad

at both of you.

I just didn't want...

I just didn't want him

to be gay.

Not because I have a...

Because it's not normal.

It's not... It isn't... It...

It's because...

I didn't want him to suffer.

I don't want my children

to suffer.

People can be really cruel.

But I don't care.

I just... I don't care.

I just want him to...

pick up the phone.

And I don't know what I did.

I'll be down in a minute.

I can hear the inside

of your stomach.

I like it.

Do you ever worry about...

being alone?

I am alone.

Do you like it?

No.

I have to go.

I'll text you later?

Yeah.

Maybe we can have sex...

Something.

What?

Never mind.

I'm so sorry it took me

so long to come down.

It was fine, I just had

to talk to really boring people.

Heh. Don't say that.

Really long time.

Please don't leave my side

right now. Please?

Spinning.

Green.

Max and Elisa.

Bridge.

Mom.

Me.

Chaos.

Danger.

Harper.

Warning.

Confusion.

Panic.

Oh, my God.

Who is it?

Who's in that car?

Again, ladies, you

gotta get off this bridge.

Who's that?

Who's down there?

Ladies,

I'm not gonna ask you again.

Back off the bridge.

Come on, come on.

No!

No! No, no, no.

My children.

Grandma?

Are you here?

It's Lily.

I'm in trouble.

Lily?

Grandma?

I don't know what's happening.

I don't...

I don't know what's happening.

I need...

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...

Lily, wake up.

Oh, my God, I can't believe

you're still in bed.

Come on. You have Deborah

in half an hour.

Let's go. Wake up. Come on.

Is that dirt?

Change the sheets, please.

My God, I'm not a maid service.

Hey.

It's sort of exciting

when a lightbulb

just pops out and dies

like that.

What?

Never mind. Ahem.

Sorry.

Just feeling a little off.

Yeah?

Did you take your meds?

Yeah.

It's okay to feel vulnerable.

Oh, f***.

Elisa.

I've just had

the strangest dream.

What's been on your mind?

I'm really tired.

Maybe I should take a nap

or something.

Go ahead and rest.

Please make yourself

comfortable.

I've got a great book here.

That's not a book,

it's a catalog.

Okay.

I care about my family.

That's good.

Because you said the other day

that I didn't care

about my family,

but I do care and I just

wanted you to know that.

Why do you care what I think?

I don't know. In case I die.

Do you plan on dying soon?

Well, my mind comes apart

in fits

and scatters around

this dark hole.

Then I ask myself,

"Why am I here?"

I really don't like

that feeling.

You're safe here, Lily.

You're in this room,

and you're here,

and nothing bad's gonna happen

to you, okay? I promise you.

You're safe.

Do you like soap operas?

What?

You know, like TV melodramas?

Have you ever thought

that you might be attracted

to a dramatic environment

or state of mind?

Are you familiar

with the laws of attraction?

Tania?

Yeah?

Last night, I felt this, um...

like, warm, bright light.

And...

It felt so real,

and it just made me feel like

everything is gonna be okay,

you know?

No. No, I don't know.

And if you told

your doctor that,

he'd hold you here

for another week.

I feel okay.

I really do,

and I'm really sorry

about what I did.

I really regret it.

I really do, and I wanna live.

I really wanna live.

All right. It's all right.

Take it easy.

Take it easy, kid.

Come on.

Yeah?

What are you doing?

What do you mean?

Go home and talk to your mother.

I'll call you later.

Mom.

Mom.

Hey.

What are you doing in here?

What do you want in life?

To be happy.

You do?

Me too.

Will you read Elisa's diary?

Uh...

Okay.

This is my job?

Hook it up...

Mm-hm.

To the thing?

Bridge closed, right?

Yep.

You have fought me hard

All night

I'll never see

The light

This is your hell of blues

Feels like heaven

So I stay

I'll never get away

From your hell of blues

When the morning comes

I cry

For you to let me die

I hope you do it soon
