M15F1T5 (2013) - full transcript

This is an experimental Narrative movie. Although not a religious story, we (the writers) referred to a haunting question from our Christian upbringing; "what if Jesus came today". So we started writing the story with consideration of how exactly this miracle worker might be documented and possibly even followed one day. For starters, this particular messiah is gay.

[VOICE OVER]
The most exciting thing
about 2012

was that we were
finally graduating

from children to adults.

The planet belonged to us now,

and we decided
to make some changes.



We called ourselves,
"The Tribe".

In the smallest,
poorest town in Texas,

it's difficult
to change the world

without the cops getting
involved somehow.

One, two, three.
Is that good?

MAN: Sit in the chair.

Do we have sound?

MAN: Yeah.

MAN: Sit in the chair.

Okay.

MAN: I think he's
a little taller.

I'm kinda nervous.

MAN: Yeah?

Yeah.



MAN: Hold up the card.

Okay.
It's, uh, M15, right?

MAN: Yeah.

And the county number,
state initial,

and our file number.

Kinda' funny we never
done this before,

you know,
a felony case?

Oh, you think it's funny.

I mean,
not like funny,

like ha-ha, ha.

Don't worry.

I've done plenty
of real crime investigations

when I worked
in Tarrant County.

Including murder?

Oh, yeah.

Lots of them,

Does this look okay?

[SIGHS]
Like your fives,
they look like S's.

Oh, well.

Okay, just forget it,
all right?

Just hold up the card
and read

the file number
out loud please.

Okay.
This is file number

M15F1T5.

[VOICE OVER]
Both my parents died
before I knew them.

I was in foster care
until my real grandmother

tracked me down
and adopted me at age 13.

She died a year later,

so I moved in
with my uncle, Levi

and his girlfriend, Sharon.

Fuck if I know
what that is.

Let me see.

Hey, that fucking thing
turns all the way around,
I didn't know that.

Casey, I think
it's your old school, dear.

CASEY: No, not at all.

He likes that used shit.

It's not even high-resolution.

What's that called?

Hi-def, high definition,

CASEY: I like it a lot.

that's it.

'Kay, 'kay.

Oh, wait, guys.

CASEY: I'm gonna make
a documentary

of our mission trip
and film everything.

It's tape, not film.

And don't narrate like
all those assholes,

those fucking stupid...

CASEY: Yeah, I know.

This is really cool,
Uncle Levi.

And it's...

Now that summer was here,
The Tribe had voted

to take a trip
and find some land

to buy and build
a commune like
in the 60's.

We were the only ones
who thought that

was a great idea.

So, I can go on this trip?

You're 18 now,
you can do whatever
you want.

Just think about
the decisions you make.

Fuckin' government
shot them caress,

what do you think
they're gonna' do with you?

It's not a cult.

You ever heard
of Jim Jones?

Those stupid bastards
killed themselves

over that asshole.

It's like a vacation.

We'll be gone
for a couple of weeks.

Just be nice when you talk
to the agent today.

All right?

A lot of people think
they're special, Casey,

but you really are.

I haven't decided yet.

I'm not gonna' get pissed off
on your goddamn birthday.

Just talk to the man,
all right?

Okay, I never said
I wasn't going to.

All right, all right.

Happy birthday to you.

Wait.

I wanna make sure
we're filming.

It's tape, tape.

What do you think?

Nice cake.

I mean,
is that not perfect?

That is so perfect.

Okay, ready.

Happy bir...

Wait, wait, wait.
Can't sing that song.

It's a copyrighted song.
Casey's making a documentary.

Well what does that have
to do with singing,
"Happy Birthday"?

It's illegal as long
as it's on camera.

Oh, my God,
that is so ridiculous.

If they want some money
from me singing that song,

they can just come
and get it.

It's goddamn in illegal
and we're not singing it,

so sing something else,
you fucking...

Well what else
is there to sing?
"Merry Christmas?"

Oh, I suppose
that's copy-protected too.

As a matter of fact it is,
and the law's the law,

so agree with it.

Well, fine.

I'm just gonna'
make up my own song.

All right, make it up.

Sing your fucking heart out.

Can I just make a fucking wish
and get it over with?

See, you ruined it.

There's your big surprise.

I did not.
I didn't do anything.

Levi said something brilliant.

Just sing your song.

♪ Happy fucking birthday.

♪ Happy fucking birthday
to you.

♪ My boyfriend
Is a great big asshole

♪ And a major
Control freak too. ♪

That was nice,
that was real nice.

I like that.

You're so sick,
I'm done.

I'm so done.

[SIGHS]

[BLOWS]

I didn't mean to do that.

All right, I get it.

That hadn't happened
in years.

We upset you,
didn't we?

It's no big deal.

He made me say, fuck.

I can't believe
he made me say

the one word he knows
I can't stand to say

You were singing, aunt.

and he made me say, fuck.

I'm sure that doesn't count.

I'm gonna get it copy,
oh, what's the word,

copy, copy...

Copyrighted?

Copyrighted. I'm gonna'
copyright my song
and then everybody

will have to pay me
to sing it.

The "Happy Fucking
Birthday" song.

That's exactly what
I'm gonna' call it.

The "Happy Fucking
Birthday" song.

Happy Birthday.

Can't you knock?

Hey, I heard you had
a camera in here.

You're making a porno.

It's a documentary.

I wanna' be in it.
I don't care.

You will be.

[DOOR SLAMS]
[SIGHS]

TADPOLE:
It can be a gay porno,
I don't mind.

Shut up.

[SIGHS]

[SINGING COMICALLY]

TADPOLE:
We are now entering
the Casey zone.

Hey, buddy,
what's going on?

Tad, get outta here,
you're gonna' get
my camera wet.

TADPOLE: Okay, okay,
sorry, sorry.

[SHOWER RUNNING]

TADPOLE: Hey, whoo,

hey, what big beats
you have, oh.

Tad, Get out

and put my camera back
where I put it.

TADPOLE: Fine, God.

CASEY:
Tadpole was my best friend
in foster care.

When he turned 18,
he left Dallas and found me.

My uncle, Levi was crazy
about this kid,

but he would never admit it.

VOICE IN BACKGROUND:
With more than 450

commercial exhibits
on display,

The goddamn camera
better not be on.

We're making
a documentary.

Have anything
to hide?

Damn it,
turn that shit off.

This is
for medicinal purposes.

It's not on,

it's not on.

Fuck.

Here, sign this.

Nah, I can't sign this.

I'm too intelligent.

What the fuck
are you talking about?

Having an IQ
as high as mine

would make it legally unfair

for me to enter an agreement
with a police officer.

Yeah, well,
it's Casey's house.

He inherited it today, so,

You should probably
have a legal counsel

representing you
any time you speak.

Just for your own protection.

Fucking sign that
before I kick

you out in the streets,
all right?

See, about that,
um,

Casey's the landlord now,
right?

So, um, yeah.

Only he can evict me now.

See how easily confused
you can be?

Tiny little cop brain!

Yeah, I see how
fucking stupid you are.

Yeah, you can't shut up,
can you.

Jerk.

Yeah, there's some robbery
in fucking Gainesville.
They called me in.

God damn it,
I hate this fucking town.

[GLASS BREAKS]

[ BREAKDOWN IN BABYLON PLAYING]

What did you say
to piss her off this time?

We have the same argument

about different shit
every fucking day.

CASEY:
Did I mention Sharon
is a therapist?

[MUSIC RESUMES PLAYING]

♪ The end is coming

♪ Won't be long ♪

Whoo!

Whoo!

We can get some goggles,
here you go, Casey.

We are out here
in the garage with Sharon,

a world-famous psychologist.

Tell us, Sharon.

What are we doing here?

This is how I don't

kill that jerk
in the other room.

Aw, I wanna' kill the jerk
in the other room.

[GRUNTS]

[GLASS SHATTERS]

Whoo!

Come here!
That's how you
do these things.

Oh, my god,
that felt so good.

I know, right?
Oh, hey, come on,
try another.

No, no, no, I'm done,
you go for it.

I would now demonstrate
how this works.

This is the face
of angry customer.

SHARON: Angry.
Very angry.

Whoo!

[GLASS SHATTERS]

SHARON: That's a good one.

You will now see
how healed I am

of my self-destructive nature.

CASEY: Tad, stop it,
it's not always about you.

[GLASSES BREAKING]

CASEY: That was cool!

SHARON: What's going on?

CASEY: I don't know.

CASEY: I was born with a sort
of birth defect.

Levi says my dad had it, too.

Accidentally making shit
fly around the room

is much more embarrassing
than wetting the bed.

[CHAIR LEGS SQUEAK]

State your name
for the record.

Dan Williams.

Last Monday, you came in
and reported

a robbery and murder,
did you not?

It was worse than that.

Nobody was really killed,

nothing was really stolen.

That's what's so evil
about it.

Danny, this is
a criminal investigation.

Stick to the facts.

Okay.

Why don't you tell us
about Levi Mattson.

When we were kids,
he lived across
the street.

Who lives there now?

A man they call, Brick.

And this girl they call,
Preacher Boy,

and a rude kid.

Forget what they call him.

It's a whole cult.

Preacher Boy is a girl?

I think so, yes.

I don't know exactly.

Did you witness any abuse?

Was it devil-worship?

Okay, fine.

Tell us first what
happened with Casey.

Was there,

some sort
of sexual attraction?

Me and Casey?

[BARFING]

They poisoned me.

Danny, he's of legal age.

From the tape,
it looks like you got drunk,

renounced Jesus,
and went back
to your old ways.

[BARFS]

[CHAIR LEGS SQUEAK]

Come on.

Aw, man, look at that.

Our star witness
is a basket case.

Turn that thing off.

Looks like your
botched casserole.

[LAUGHS]

Oh, God.

It's my camera
and you've taken control
of it since I got it.

TADPOLE: You can still make
your documentary,

I'm just trying
to make it marketable.

You know?

I don't care, whatever.

Do what you want.

TADPOLE: Cool.

TADPOLE: So, I decided,

for tomorrow's scene,
we're gonna' have a car chase.

A car chase.

TADPOLE: Yeah.

TADPOLE: In this town.
A car chase.

That sounds
like a great idea.

You wanna go run that
by Levi, or should I?

TADPOLE:
He should be a part of it.
Ooh, cops.

We could do something
like Cops, too.

Instead of make it dumb
and retarded.

And we need lots of women.

Women, women, women.

Yeah. I agree.
Okay.

TADPOLE:
So, because I'm in charge
of this camera,

I'm gonna' do something,
don't freak out,

but it's gonna involve me
getting out of the car.

[WIND RUSHING BY]

TADPOLE: Whoo.

CASEY: That was fun.

TADPOLE: Probably flipping
shit right now

'cause I'm out here
with a camera.

Oh, look, it's a house.

I love this place.

WOMAN: Hi, Casey.

[TADPOLE GROANING]

WOMAN:
Happy birthday, Casey.

Thanks.

MAN: Hey, if it isn't
the new landlord.

Yeah, you better clean up
all this shit,

or I'm gonna evict
all you fags.

MAN: You sound a lot
like the old landlord.

Is that your birthday present?

CASEY: Yeah.

Tad's sensitive.

What happened?

MAN: Uh, somebody took out one
of the wind turbines.

They missed the
solar panels though.

So there's, that.

CASEY: You need any help?

Nah, it's pretty much trashed.

I'm coming down.

We got a lot to do today.

CASEY:
Brick was the first person

to ever tell me that my

defect was actually a gift.

Just to the windmill?

Who would do that, man?

CASEY: Don't know.

Those cops, they hate us.

Especially your uncle.

CASEY: That isn't true.

Or your boyfriend
across the street.

[CROW CROWING]

Why don't you use
your mind control shit

and make
that asshole disappear.

Did anyone get eggs yet?

CASEY: Don't think so.

God, look at this stuff,
man.

So dry.

Look, if we had goats,
we wouldn't have
to waste all this.

It's rotten.

Seven days straight
of 105 degrees.

[HEN CLUCKING]

So, we taking
the chickens with us?

CASEY: Don't know.

[DOG BARKING]

TADPOLE:
The cops are coming!

Guys, the cops are here!

[RUNNING FOOTSTEPS]

But, Ray, I didn't follow
his report.

Yeah, and I bet
you guess he did.

Danny Williams.

[INDIE ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

That's Nancy.

Yeah. She described the car
and the kid completely.

It did not take me long
to figure this out.

Who was it?

I don't, I don't think...

Miss Nancy, who was it?

That little son
of a bitch has the nerve

to park right
in front of my house.

He took the bricks right out
of my god damn yard.

Oh, yeah?

He zipped across my yard,

hit behind that bush,

and zipped out to the middle
of the street

and threw it like this here,

like a god damn quarterback.

You say he zipped.

Zipped, zipped.

Uh, after he threw the brick,
did he zip back to his car?

That little son
of a bitch zipped his ass.

Thank you, Miss Nancy.

We really appreciate
your looking out for us.

Thank you. Miss Nancy.

CASEY: Does my uncle
know yet?

No.

Hey, Ray,
is it legal to...

pretend to arrest somebody,

then give them the chance
to apologize instead?

Uh, I don't think it's legal,
but I'll do it.

You want me
to bring him here?

Yeah, it'd be great.

Um, so are we all gonna'
have any more sales later?

TADPOLE:
Hey, Casey,
I think that'll work for

your dolls collection.

CASEY:
What've we got going on?

BRICK: Same old.
Wanna give us a hand?

Really?

Yeah.

We can fix it up,
make it work.

Jesus.

Nice.

Oh.

Yes.

Ah, I want this
in my room.

No. You need it
for your room.

What's that supposed
to mean?

You're filthy.

I am in a dumpster.

Yeah.

BRICK:
It just needs another filter.

[METAL BIN CLANGING]

Tadpole!

TADPOLE:
I don't know if we can use
anything else in here.

BRICK:
Yeah, that's good enough
for today, let's go.

Don't forget your cap.

WOMAN: You can't make
yourself happy

with your stuff.

What we think
of as our life

Tadpole, you're late.

WOMAN: What we think
of as our life

is actually just a series
of events

and how we are
affected by them.

That effect is influenced

by our beliefs and thoughts.

When you change
what is inside

the outside also changes.

This is is a basic law
of nature,

just like gravity.

MAN: You're going to hell.

I see we have a prophet
in the crowd.

Yeah, yeah.

Bible says that you
and all your little
faggot friends

are going to hell.

Thank you for the warning.

You're welcome.

I'll look for that verse.

For the record,
I think it's

fine to believe in a book,

as long as it's one
that you've read.

MAN: Whatever, fag.

It's time
for our top ten list.

Today's topic is how
to be a miserable fuck.
[FOLK MUSIC PLAYING]

This is an important part
of life in America

so listen up.

Number one.

Believe everything you hear.

Especially if it's on TV.

Number two.

Never be original.

Just copy what
everyone else is doing,

it's much easier.

Number three.

Spend a great deal

of energy destroying
everything

and everyone
that you don't understand,

ostracizing anyone
who's different than you.

If you can arrest
or kill them,

even better.

This will guarantee a dull,

safe world for us all.

WOMAN:
Number four.

Don't learn from history.

It's much easier to wallow
in a destructive shithole

and call it tradition.

Number five.

Never ever

take responsibility
for your own actions.

Be sure and teach this
to your children

and blame the schools,

the government,

and the movies.

Number six.

Grab and protect what
is rightfully yours

and never share it.

Number seven.

Always remember
the mean things

people say and do to you.

See ya later!

Replay these scenes

over and over
in your head

and try to feel
as hurt as you can.

It feels bad but it is
at least predictable.

Number eight.

Eat and drink
everything you crave,

and buy your children
candy every day.

And load up
on chips and sodas.

Number nine.

You must believe
in a cruel

and angry God

that judges everyone
by a set of rules

that are impossible
to live by,

and punishes us
when we can't follow them.

Make sure your God
is a man, too,

no girly gods allowed.

Make sure he hates
certain people

but loves people

just

like

you.

Make sure he has picked

some special,

chosen person

to tell you how
to think and live.

Number ten.

Drumroll.

Buy lots of stuff!

Get everything
you want right now!

Don't worry if you need it
or have any money for it,

just get it and get it now.

If you follow these simple

ten commandments of misery,

you will not only
make your own life

into a living nightmare,

but you will spread this
until the entire Earth

becomes a dark
and dangerous place.

Just like the almighty man,
God said it would be.

Thank you for listening
and not calling the cops.

I will be gone next week,

but will return
at the same time

the following week.

Good day.

[LETHARGIC CLAPPING]

Casey, what's with
the fucking camera?

Tadpole.

Jesus.

Did you see that crowd?
Bunch of idiots.

Now you understand
why I do it?

It's not wrong
to have a gift.

How do you know Babe Ruth
or Mickey Mantle

didn't have the same gift
that you have?

CASEY:
Pretty sure they didn't.

Not even gonna'
say anything.

That woman back there
is right up our ass.

BRICK: Oh, my goodness
she is goin' crazy.

[VOICE FROM RADIO]
I spent sometime lately,

thinking about things
that happened to me,

a long time ago.

Eli was evil.

He was a sodomite.

And what did you do?

I was sent

And he...

You had homosexual sex

with a 21-year-old man.

You were then sent
to a Christian

behavioral modification
program.

you successfully completed,
right?

Yes.

Are you still a sodomite?

No!

Something that's just
not making sense to me,
Danny.

I'm cured, I swear.

You wanna be in

No.

Why not?
You'd be perfect for the lead.

without a script.

You don't have a script.

TAD: It's more
like improvisation.

[SLOW ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

I know what this is about.

You just wanna see my tits.

TAD: That would be
a good selling point

for distribution.

Now, we can be honest.

All that good movie
was showing flesh.

But it needs artistically
rateable, okay?

You touch me,
and I will slap the genius

right out you.

You can work on a script

I'll take it all off.

No.

If it doesn't sell for five,
I'm gonna' keep it for myself.

Oh.

You know what, actually,
I should mark it up to ten,

just to make sure
it works.

What? No.

Oh, that's not right.

Now look,
it's clearly marked
five dollars.

And you can't change
the price

just because somebody
said they wanted it.

That's not right.

I want it for the price
that's marked.

he called the cops
on us almost every day.

[LAUGHING TO THEMSELVES]

TAD: Hey, Danny.

About five years ago
or so

I did some
pro bono counseling

at a children's home
in Dallas County.

I met Lisa Mattson

who was looking
for a particular child,

and she adopted him
with my help.

I later moved here,

because I started
dating her son, Levi,

and we've lived
here ever since.

[PEN CLICKS]

All right, um.

What do you know about

these cult leaders?

They go by the aliases,
Preacher Boy and Brick?

Cult leaders,
really?

Indulge me.

Preacher Boy
and Ted Polk came
from the same

children's home as Casey
and Brick said once

he used to work
on Wall Street

but I don't know
anything else about him.

Never got a name
on a document?

No, it was all
very informal,

just after Lisa died.

Why do you think
he goes by a fake name?

Tim, all the kids
have nicknames,

and, uh, Mighty Casey
loves baseball and the poem

and Tadpole is small
and defenseless,
and Streak,

as you well know,
runs naked through

the Fourth of July parade.

Every year since puberty.

[LAUGHING IN BACKGROUND]

What about this cult group?

I've got a dozen complaints
from families

that say their kids
are running off with this guy.

Well, I think it's more
like a club of misfits

all the same age.

We are tribal by nature
and young people especially

just want to belong
to a group.

They want to be loved.

I think these complaints
you're getting

are completely unfounded.

I have a list
of names here.

The Grand Jury will be meeting
on this next week

to determine
if it's kidnapping or not.

If it is,
charges will be brought.

At the very least,
it's a missing persons case.

I also have
a statement about

the amount of blood found
in the home,

along with
the video evidence

provided by Dan Williams.

Which will also be read
by the Grand Jury.

It's a case of murder,
or attempted one.

And this document

is about three fugitives
from justice

in the company
of your boyfriend's

18 year old nephew,

which may also be named
as an accomplice.

That sounded like
a threat.

I believe you know
where they are.

What will you do then?

We will apprehend
the fugitives,

have a few words
with this Brick fellow,

and confirm the safety
of all the members

of this little club
of misfits.

Could I have
a drink of water?

Certainly.

Hey, uh, do you want me
to put some of that stuff

on the counter

No, I'm just looking,

I just wanted you
to know about our policy,

we don't really believe
in stealing.

So, if you really want it,
you can have it, I mean,

the way we look at it,

this stuff isn't really ours.

This thing, I don't even,

I don't even know where
I got that, you know?

So I mean,
if you really want it,
you can just take it,

you don't have
to be secret about it.

I was just, you know,
I was thinking

Hey, what's going
on over here?

Whoa, that is a cool tattoo.

What kind of fun is that?

Don't touch me.

Okay.

of stealing.

Hey, we don't steal, man.

Well, I mean, hey.

the CD stuff crammed
up her shirt.

Why don't you shut up.

about that video.

Casey and his friends
were very creative,

and inventive,
and they did some tricks
with the camera.

They told me all about it
and Levi and I played along.

I hope you're not taking
this too seriously.

It was just camera tricks.

that everybody walked
away uninjured.

but there...

and the tapes back.

but the tapes are evidence.

that went too far?

was shed.

Was it even human blood?

BRICK:
Will someone please start
with our real traditions.

All right.

LEVI: Streak.

ALL: Streak.
[CLAPPING]

Like our ancestors
before us,

we believe
in the elements

within the sun,
wind, water,

fire, earth,
and moon.

We are part
of something bigger
than ourselves.

We're not separate
and isolated
from the universe.

Recycle, volunteer,
give things away.

We're self-reliant.

Poverty and hunger
are a shared problem.

Knowledge is
a valued commodity

that is exchanged freely.

Discussions
and differences
of opinion

make for a balanced Tribe.

People that are different

are welcome
and encouraged.

Never burden
the government

with something that
the Tribe can handle.

ALL: Streak.
[CLAPPING]

All right,
my tribe name is Bean.

ALL: Bean.
[CLAPPING]

And I offer all
the life-giving power

of the water.

ALL: Bean.
[CLAPPING]

My tribal name
is Mighty Casey.

ALL: Mighty Casey.
[CLAPPING]

And I offer all the warmth
and power of fire.

ALL: Mighty Casey.
[CLAPPING]

My, uh,
tribal name is Zippy.

ALL: Zippy.
[CLAPPING]

I want to thank you all
for everything,

and I'm gonna' share
some thoughts
from my journal.

The heaven that many people
are looking for

is going on right now,

if we are paying attention,

we won't miss it.

ALL: Zip, zip.
Zippy.
[CLAPPING]

Instead of throwing
things away,

it's better
to put them
to a new use.

Nature does this.

So, Levi,

how have you been?

What do you want, Tim?

I need to know
about that day,

couple of weeks ago.

What about it?

Levi, your blood
was found splattered

all over your mother's house.

How did your blood

get on the walls
and the floor?

I don't remember.

Do you remember
what happened

to all those kids
there that morning?

Did you know
that tiny subatomic particles

can be in two places
at the same time?

Levi.
This is a dangerous man.

You said it yourself.

He could've
brainwashed these kids

and God knows
what could happen.

And now,
he's got three dangerous
criminals with him.

We need to find this guy.

If I could explain it
to you, I would.

Really.

What happened to you, Levi?

I already told you, Tim.

Me and Sharon went
to Mexico like we planned.

I came back,

turned in my badge,
and went home.

Don't you think it's odd

that a dozen teenagers
who just put

all their cell phones
in a pile

would head off
on some vacation trip

camping?

Don't you think
it's odd that a stolen car

is returned to its owner?

With an apology note?

Even stranger that
an investigation
would continue

after the money's
been paid back

and the charges dropped.
C'mon, Tim.

How much are
they paying you
to find him?

The agents?

What do you mean?

I know they wanna'
find Casey.

They got a multi-million
dollar contract

right down there.

They offered me
a generous finder's fee.

How much, Tim?

You can tell me.

Thank you, Levi.

You can go now.

Instead
of throwing things away,

it's much smarter
to try to put things
to a new use.

Nature does this.

Admit what went wrong,

forgive everybody
including yourself,

and turn waste

into a meaningful
experience.

[CHAIR LEGS SQUEAK]

Oh, man.

That was so weird.

Tim.

So,

there's not like,
anyone actually,

like, really paying you,
is there?

Don't be stupid, Ray.

They just want
to talk to me.

That's it.

[TIM BEGINS YELLING
TO HIMSELF]

I'm happy you're
being normal.

What do you mean by normal?

Not gay anymore.

I was cured
at the facility.

I have control over
my sinful desires.

Cured from what?

You don't know what
you're talking about.

Control.

Sheila died when

I'll go get those.

I'll get the chickens.

Why are you doing this?

When I was a little boy,

that would guide me.

Along the way
I stopped listening
to that voice.

I started living for my,

my life from

seeing everyone else
but me.

My gift had
become a curse.

Then I found myself
on top of a building,

staring down.

Sitting there
in my 1200 dollar suit,

Italian leather shoes,

and I thought,

I'd rather live.

That voice came back
to me.

I decided to listen
to it this time.

had some extra clothes?

Because, my shirt's stolen,
and I'm gonna' need some.

JACK: Yeah, mine too,
from the Walmart
