Gee, you're looking tired.
Bedtime, kiddo.
Good night, Opal.
Claire?
Is that you?
Come here,
I need you to bring me my cigarettes.
Hey!
Don't think about
hiding them again either.
I know it's you who's doing that.
You know, it's evil to help people
who don't need help, Claire.
You're just like these people
on television, Claire.
You're far more interested in me
than anything you got going on.
He, how the hell did...
Listening to him go, Jesus...
Where are my cigarettes...
Finally, just keep going on
and on with that...

You smell weird.
Why aren't you saying anything?
You're...
You're not Claire.
What are you doing in my house?!
Get out!
Get out of this house!
Get out!
Hey!
You're just gonna walk by
without saying hello?
Look at me.
Man, they are going
to be kicking themselves.
I actually look really good in that.
Glad I don't have your ankles though.
I...
Nothing, nothing against them.
I just...
- Never mind. Sorry, my brain.
- Fix it.
I often find myself
at my wit's end in here.
That's just part of my journey, you know,
I'm just a small...
I'm like a tiny, growing thing.
I mean, my skin is...
- Forgetful...
- ...sometimes, but what...
You can hold me in the palm of your hand.
- Hold on a second!
- Hold on a second!
You can spare me a little time, you know?
You act like I'm a complete stranger.
Wait...
Hold on...
Everybody's so mad at me, like...
I'm growing though,
like why be so negative?
Why do people look at me,
like the way you probably are right now?
You wanna know why I get so worked up,
I'll just tell you.

I don't really see why we always have
to talk about these sorts of things, but...
You know, I mean, it puts things
into perspective for you, I'm sure.
Hey, where are you going?!
You know how this makes me feel!
Who's that?
Claire?
You're being a person today, huh?
Goodness exists.
If I wait, Claire,
and I sit still...
It will arrive.
You should be more considerate,
honestly, but I forgive you.
I forgive every single one of you...
...every night.
It's a virtuous cycle.
How did this get so bad?
I feel terrible for all the things...
I feel terrible...
You and I don't live, Claire...
We survive.

Our adversaries are in denial.
They don't know the wrong they do.
And they never repent how I want them to.
And you,
you're just like me.
You're just as powerless as I am, Claire.
