The School Nurse Files (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 6 - Episode #1.6 - full transcript
[metals clanking]
[nurse] Doctor...
this patient
doesn't have a navel.
[Eun-young]
It's just too small for us to see.
[doctor] Right.
How can a person not have a navel?
Hmm...
[nurse] Can it be that tiny though?
[doctor] Yes.
It's okay not to have one.
Let us begin.
The surgery was a success.
Instead of a stomach though,
Hye-min had this.
[screeching]
Take a look at this.
This is Chinese that is engraved upon it.
-[screeching continues]
-[doctor] Guje.
GUJE: SAVING OTHERS IN TROUBLE
-Mm-hm.
-[doctor] Mm.
-Take care then.
-[jelly screeches]
[door opens]
Ready to go?
Yeah.
ALMAGEL
It tickles.
Tickles.
[Hye-min] I have a belly button now.
[chuckles]
Let's go.
[Eun-young] For the time being,
stay away from any spicy foods.
That includes chili flakes.
For three months,
eat small portions five times a day.
It's most important to eat slowly.
You'll have trouble with digestion,
so chew everything thoroughly.
[Hye-min] Yes, Ms. Ahn.
Mr. Hong.
So, before I return to the facility,
could I take a short drive
somewhere further away?
So, where'd you wanna go?
If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to go
outside my radius of 5.38 kilometers.
[In-pyo] Huh?
If you could just go straight for a bit.
Sure.
You can stop now because we're here.
[Hye-min] This is it.
There's no need to go any further.
Would you go slowly, please?
Can we leave here?
[sighs]
[solemn music]
[music intensifies]
What could be inside of it?
[jelly screeching]
[ominous music]
Hey. What are you doing?
[Min-u] Well...
I was just thinking that this basement
seems like a nice place.
Don't you think the kids
would like to meet up here?
[Wan-su] Oh.
[ominous music]
Yeah.
The kids could really use this.
Yeah!
The basement seems
like a nice place to get together.
That's right!
[Wan-su] Everyone would love this, right?
[Min-u] Right.
[laughter]
[laughing, crying]
[creaks]
[both] Ooh.
[both laughing]
[teacher] Lesson three,
the best things in life are free.
What we valued the most in life
that's followed by the word "free."
Free has a variety of meanings.
First, it means to be able to act
as one wishes.
Second, it also means not being a subject.
Third, it could mean...
[In-pyo]
When did you live before this life?
[Hye-min] It was back when Mong-lyeon
High School was being built.
The locals were deeply worried about
a school being built on this ground.
And why is that?
The people were concerned.
Didn't your grandfather tell you?
There's a hole where the air flows.
You know about that?
Of course I do.
I've lived all of my lives around here.
In the past,
there used to be a pond there.
People around here kept going into it.
That's the reason they closed it.
[Hye-min]
The place contains a lot of energy.
It was obvious why everyone was worried
about building a school on it.
The energy feeds off
of children's laughter.
And your grandfather wanted to channel
that large energy.
And the people were worried
about Mr. Hong and Safe Happiness
changing the way of the world.
Chi-heup-hyeol e-gok-dae-un ga-ja-guk.
[Hye-min] That's right.
Control the breathing hole
and change your luck.
And you'll have the power
to rule a nation.
That was the plan
designed by Safe Happiness.
To those who are strong,
the place will appear to be normal.
However, it draws
in those who lack energy.
And that's why people keep jumping in.
It's probably the exact same thing
I figured out as a hungry people
searching for food.
That's what I think it is.
They shouldn't have put
a school there, then.

AHN EUN-YOUNG, THE SCHOOL NURSE
DUE TO PERSONAL REASONS
I CAN NO LONGER BE OF SERVICE
AT MONG-LYEON HIGH SCHOOL
JUNE 30, 2019
AHN EUN-YOUNG
[In-pyo sighs]
If you leave...
Who will protect the school
if you quit?
Huh?
"So sorry they never
should have had a high school built here."
Don't you think there's something
you should say right now?
On behalf of your grandfather.
I'm sorry.

Lee Ji-hyeong.
It's been a while.
[chuckles]
[students laughing]
Watch yourselves.
Fucking hell.
Isn't this weird?
What is?
The other kids.
What the fuck are you looking at me for?
[laughing]
It's me they're laughing at.
Why?
Because Radi and I are together.
[A-ra gasps]
[metal clanking]
Lesbians, are you kidding?
-[Radi scoffs]
-Lucky you.
You're all insane.
[Ji-hyeong] What's wrong with that?
Somebody has feelings for you.
You're so lucky.
[female] What a joke.
[laughter]
[wails]
[laughing]
Ji-hyeong, are you perhaps
seeing someone too?
Although I doubt somebody would date
someone who is as poor as you are.
Penniless.
[wails]
The girls are now together.
-[scoffs]
-You two will probably get AIDS.
-You bitch!
-[A-ra] AIDS.
[clamoring]
[upbeat music]
[vehement shouting]
[panting]
[squeals]
[screams]
[teacher 1] Um, we need to inform
all of the parents of...
[laughing]
...of the situation.
[In-pyo] When the children are old enough
to know how to stay safe,
then we can tell the parents.
[teacher 1] Lesbians and gays,
they should be...
[laughs]
...dealt with from the get-go.
I'd rather just call it
same-sex relations.
[laughter]
I really don't understand
what you find so amusing about this.
What's going on here?
What's the deal?
Baek Hye-min and Radi are a...
little lesbians together.
[laughter]
Oh, that's repulsive.
[chuckles]
Next week, a new 11th-grade student
will be joining us, yeah?
Which one of you
can accommodate the student?
So, I have too many 30 students
in the class.
It's the same thing of my class.
Ahn Kang-yu, how about your class?
What? What kind of student?
And what are you saying exactly?
What do you mean "What kind?"
This new student...
I see his leg's not good.

Please leave your name, phone number,

And your call will be returned to you
as quickly as possible.
Have a nice day,
and thank you for calling.
[beeps]
[In-pyo] Ms. Ahn,
I'm having trouble contacting you.
Would you call me back please?
I think it's very important
that we search for Ilgwang Sterilization.
The school has gone insane.
Everyone is acting weird.
The students keep picking fights
with each other.
And all the teachers just keep laughing.
I feel so alone.
There's no one I can talk to.
I'm on my way to my grandfather right now.
Someone at the fishing site in Busan
should be able help me.
I know I shouldn't say this but...
I liked it better
when my grandfather was around.
Now, I have no one.
Now that you're gone,
life seems so boring.
I'm all alone again.
[beeps]
[operator] Message deleted.
[calm music]
[sloshes]
MR. HONG, I'M SORRY
BUT I CAN'T SEE JELLIES ANYMORE
[clanks, splashing]
[splashing]
[calm music]
[news anchor] Yesterday afternoon,
at Mong-lyeon High School in Yongsan,
students and faculty members
all fell into a coma
for some unknown reason.
The city health center
is currently conducting an investigation.
[reporter 1] Several of the students
were in a comatose state,
while others were found convulsing.
The school has been closed indefinitely
and 12 faculty members
as well as over 40 students
were taken to two nearby hospitals.
[reporter 2] The Seoul Education Office
will investigate
to see if there is any wrongdoing.
Not just regarding the current dilemma,
but also the concealment
of past incidents.
The authorities will look
into these matters
not just regarding this current status
but also past accidents.
Shutting down the school
is also an option.
This is MBC News reporting.
[operator] The person you called
is not available at this time.
Please leave your name, number
and a brief message at the beep.
[beeps]
Message deleted.
[sighs]
[chimes]
MR. HONG
[In-pyo] Take a look.
The fishing site has been abandoned.
I doubt I'll be able
to find Ilgwang Sterilization.
[Eun-young] Did you check the photo?
[Hwa-su] Well...
It looks like someone stole
all the energy.
I asked all around.
It's looking like Mong-lyeon High School
doesn't belong to Safe Happiness.
Safe Happiness has been trying
to buy the school.
But the school is nothing but trouble,
and doesn't generate any profit.
So, the foundation is considering it.
[Hwa-su sighs]
[Eun-young] When I checked the documents
Mackenzie had,
I found a few other maps
apart from the schools.
[Hwa-su] Uh-huh.
[Eun-young] Wait a second.
Let me check the maps
that I took from Mackenzie's place.
"Busan."
[tense music]
What's that?
"Namsandong."
N-E-L.
Su.
The fishing site was their doing.
[Hwa-su] Are you sure?
[Eun-young] Yes. Safe Happiness
is coming after our school next.
And the old man is part of it.
[Hwa-su] Oh, that I was right.
[Eun-young] Why wasn't Mackenzie
able to enter the basement?
It doesn't make any sense, does it?
[Hwa-su] Maybe because it was locked?
[Eun-young] No. With his abilities,
he could have easily entered.
[indistinct chatter]
[tense music]
ILGWANG STERILIZATION
RECIPIENT
HWA SU
ILGWANG STERILIZATION
PRESIDENT HWA SU
[Eun-young]
Su, I found Ilgwang Sterilization.
[Ga-young] Eun-young.
It has been so long.
[Eun-young] Mackenzie chose not to go in.
Mm. I missed you so very much.
[Eun-young] It's not because
he couldn't enter the basement.
He chose not to.
And Ilgwang Sterilization couldn't enter
because of Safe Happiness.
They're in a war
over who gets to keep the basement.
And that's why I've been managing it.
So that whoever wins...
can utilize it any way they want.
[Ga-young] After Mr. Hong Jin-besom died,
Ilgwang Sterilization
was struck off the list.
Because they thought the school
belonged to them.
SAFE HAPPINESS
[Eun-young] Mr. Hong was eliminated.
The school is ours.
It isn't necessary to get in the way
of the family business.
[Ga-young] We need Hong In-pyo.
Why don't you stop being such a smart ass
and come back to us?
I can't.
The talents I once had are now gone.
Just come back.
If you do, we'll be able to restore
your abilities to you.
Did you take over the fishing site also?
Yeah.
You don't dare touch In-pyo, you hear me?
[chuckles]
Don't be that way or you'll regret it.
[Ga-young]
We need Hong In-pyo, you know that.
Nothing's more important than family.
[Eun-young]
They all have a use for In-pyo.
Move.
Only then can they utilize
the power the school possesses.
It's all because In-pyo
has the forceshield.
SAFE HAPPINESS
In-pyo and I are in the middle of a fight
that will end
when either one of them dies.
How could you do this to me?
ILGWANG STERILIZATION
PRESIDENT HWA SU
HWA SU
[dial tone]
[Hwa-su] Hello? What is it?
Did you find anything?
Mm-hm.
Yes, I think I did.
[Eun-young]
I think I found Ilgwang Sterilization.
Why did you introduce that school to me?
I needed you to manage the basement
because I can't go in yet.
I will not be part of your war.
I am not...
one of you any longer.
Don't be silly.
You're still one of us.
Not now.
Not any longer.
[sighs]
It's pathetic.
You're all so peculiar.
Hmm...
That's right.
By all means, hate me.
But don't be ashamed to belong.
We're linked. You and I.
We're family.
-Eun-young.
-Yeah?
Now you're one of us, you know.
And you are one of our own.
You're one of the weirdest
in the entire world.
And I think you are aware of that as well.
If you can stay at the school
just a little longer.
Shouldn't we at least stop Safe Happiness?
The taboo rope in the basement
should be tied securely
'cause I still can't enter, huh?
[Hwa-su] Understand?
[tense music]
You're weirder than I.
[ambient music]
[gate closes]
[upbeat music]
[Mr. Hong] Hello.
Welcome.
[beeping]
[ambient music]
[beeping]
[suspense music]
[door closes]
Are you okay?
[In-pyo] What are you doing here?
What is all this?
They're creepy.
[In-pyo] Well...
They are creepy.
But I love them.
[clinking]
What on earth are these things?
They're kind of me.
Do you have the basement keys with you?
Of course. Why?
We should destroy the high school
while they're away.
Now I can't protect them anymore.
Because my abilities are gone.
The students will head to the rooftop
and then jump off.
And some of them are going to die.
How do we destroy it?
We open up the Apji Stone.
I can't charge you anymore.
Instead of us closing it like last time,
we'll keep it open.
We'll make a statement
that shows everyone...
this isn't a place for a school.
Let's make a colossal mess.
Okay.
Let's go.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
Lead on.
[tense music]
[music continues]
[door closes]
[door opens]
If we enter here...
we may not be able to come out.
So what?
Wait.
Hold on.
The flashlight.
Wait a minute. Wait for me.
[suspense music]
[Eun-young] I had a friend, you know.
[In-pyo] I know.
You bragged about a friend
who's like family to you.
[Eun-young] I don't anymore.
[In-pyo] Why not?
[In-pyo chuckles]
Did you two have a fight?
[sighs]
It's silly to argue with a friend
at our age.
I love how I don't see jellies...
anymore.
I enjoy being normal.
I love it.
I'm sorry.
I find being normal boring.
Unless it's something bad.
I think it's better to be weird
than be ordinary.
My grandfather...
was also weird as it gets.
But he was bad.
[solemn music]
[tense music]
APJI STONE
[eerie music]
[In-pyo] Would you...
leave here without me?
I wouldn't.
We leave together.
Really?
Can I trust you?
Yes.
[tense music]
Okay, damn it!
[grunts]
[grunts]
Hold on!
[groans, pants]
[panting continues]
Sorry about that. I wasn't ready yet.
No don't!
[Eun-young] Shit.
Fuck.
Fuck!
We're fucked.
Huh?
[calm music]
[muffled screams]
[In-pyo] What's wrong?
[music continues]
Shit!
[whimpering]
Hey! Hold on!
You said you wouldn't leave me behind!
Come back!
Not again!
[sobbing]
[panting]
[rumbles]
[panting, sobbing]
[heavy breathing]
[panting]
Goddamn it!
[sobbing]
[tinkles]
Seriously?
[wailing]
[grunts]
[pants]
[sniffs]
[In-pyo grunting]
[heavy breathing]
[panting]
[In-pyo] Ms. Ahn!
Where are you?
[laughter]
[In-pyo] Ms. Ahn!
Ms. Ahn!
Ms. Ahn!
Ahn Eun-young!
Answer me!
[Eun-young screaming]
-[gasps]
-Mr. Hong!
We're really doomed this time!
-[sobbing]
-[In-pyo gasps]
[Eun-young]
A world where jellies weren't visible,
sure was special.
It was peaceful and relaxed..
All the colors were harmonious,
and the shapes were perfect.
[light music]
Although it didn't last long,
I was truly happy.
I doubt that I was designed
by a particular someone.
[sploshes]
But if my maker does exist,
I'd like to ask this...
"Why did you hide
such a beautiful world from me?"
Kang-sun said
that you should face what you can't avoid.
[In-pyo] Who's Kang-sun?
A friend.
He died.
[In-pyo] Ah.
[ducks quacking]
[In-pyo]
We'll ban the laughing exercises first.
What about Safe Happiness though?
[Mr. Hong] In-pyo.
Hong In-pyo.
Hong In-pyo.
[Eun-young]
The school building was rebuilt
and the faculty members were replaced.
A new season greeted us
and the students came back
healthy as ever.
Of course I still dream
of quitting this school,
but it's not like
I have anywhere else to go.
At least, there's a certain job
I can do here.
Which is meaningful enough.
Is this what people call "worthwhile"?
[scoffs]
[knocking on door]
Jang... re...
My name is Radi. You write it with an "I."
JANG RADI
Right, Radi.
It's short for "Radical One."
RADICAL ONE
See this?
[Eun-young] All right, Radi.
Are you in pain?
You see, it's not me who's in pain.
My mom sees ghosts.
[whooshing]
Could you come to my house sometime?
[chuckles]
[quirky music]
Your house?
[closing theme music]

I'm on my way to my grandfather right now.
Someone at the fishing site in Busan
should be able help me.
I know I shouldn't say this but...
I liked it better
when my grandfather was around.
Now, I have no one.
Now that you're gone,
life seems so boring.
I'm all alone again.

MR. HONG, I'M SORRY
BUT I CAN'T SEE JELLIES ANYMORE

[news anchor] Yesterday afternoon,
at Mong-lyeon High School in Yongsan,
students and faculty members
all fell into a coma
for some unknown reason.
The city health center
is currently conducting an investigation.
[reporter 1] Several of the students
were in a comatose state,
while others were found convulsing.
The school has been closed indefinitely
and 12 faculty members
as well as over 40 students
were taken to two nearby hospitals.
[reporter 2] The Seoul Education Office
will investigate
to see if there is any wrongdoing.
Not just regarding the current dilemma,
but also the concealment
of past incidents.
The authorities will look
into these matters
not just regarding this current status
but also past accidents.
Shutting down the school
is also an option.
This is MBC News reporting.
[operator] The person you called
is not available at this time.
Please leave your name, number
and a brief message at the beep.
[beeps]

MR. HONG
[In-pyo] Take a look.
The fishing site has been abandoned.
I doubt I'll be able
to find Ilgwang Sterilization.
[Eun-young] Did you check the photo?
[Hwa-su] Well...
It looks like someone stole
all the energy.
I asked all around.
It's looking like Mong-lyeon High School
doesn't belong to Safe Happiness.
Safe Happiness has been trying
to buy the school.
But the school is nothing but trouble,
and doesn't generate any profit.
So, the foundation is considering it.
[Hwa-su sighs]
[Eun-young] When I checked the documents
Mackenzie had,
I found a few other maps
apart from the schools.
[Hwa-su] Uh-huh.
[Eun-young] Wait a second.
Let me check the maps
that I took from Mackenzie's place.
"Busan."
[tense music]
What's that?
"Namsandong."
N-E-L.
Su.
The fishing site was their doing.
[Hwa-su] Are you sure?
[Eun-young] Yes. Safe Happiness
is coming after our school next.
And the old man is part of it.
[Hwa-su] Oh, that I was right.
[Eun-young] Why wasn't Mackenzie
able to enter the basement?
It doesn't make any sense, does it?
[Hwa-su] Maybe because it was locked?
[Eun-young] No. With his abilities,
he could have easily entered.
[indistinct chatter]
[tense music]
ILGWANG STERILIZATION
RECIPIENT
HWA SU
ILGWANG STERILIZATION
PRESIDENT HWA SU
[Eun-young]
Su, I found Ilgwang Sterilization.
[Ga-young] Eun-young.
It has been so long.
[Eun-young] Mackenzie chose not to go in.
Mm. I missed you so very much.
[Eun-young] It's not because
he couldn't enter the basement.
He chose not to.
And Ilgwang Sterilization couldn't enter
because of Safe Happiness.
They're in a war
over who gets to keep the basement.
And that's why I've been managing it.
So that whoever wins...
can utilize it any way they want.
[Ga-young] After Mr. Hong Jin-besom died,
Ilgwang Sterilization
was struck off the list.
Because they thought the school
belonged to them.
SAFE HAPPINESS
[Eun-young] Mr. Hong was eliminated.
The school is ours.
It isn't necessary to get in the way
of the family business.
[Ga-young] We need Hong In-pyo.
Why don't you stop being such a smart ass
and come back to us?
I can't.
The talents I once had are now gone.
Just come back.
If you do, we'll be able to restore
your abilities to you.
Did you take over the fishing site also?
Yeah.
You don't dare touch In-pyo, you hear me?
[chuckles]
Don't be that way or you'll regret it.
[Ga-young]
We need Hong In-pyo, you know that.
Nothing's more important than family.
[Eun-young]
They all have a use for In-pyo.
Move.
Only then can they utilize
the power the school possesses.
It's all because In-pyo
has the forceshield.
SAFE HAPPINESS
In-pyo and I are in the middle of a fight
that will end
when either one of them dies.
How could you do this to me?
ILGWANG STERILIZATION
PRESIDENT HWA SU
HWA SU
[dial tone]
[Hwa-su] Hello? What is it?
Did you find anything?
Mm-hm.
Yes, I think I did.
[Eun-young]
I think I found Ilgwang Sterilization.
Why did you introduce that school to me?
I needed you to manage the basement
because I can't go in yet.
I will not be part of your war.
I am not...
one of you any longer.
Don't be silly.
You're still one of us.
Not now.
Not any longer.
[sighs]
It's pathetic.
You're all so peculiar.
Hmm...
That's right.
By all means, hate me.
But don't be ashamed to belong.
We're linked. You and I.
We're family.
-Eun-young.
-Yeah?
Now you're one of us, you know.
And you are one of our own.
You're one of the weirdest
in the entire world.
And I think you are aware of that as well.
If you can stay at the school
just a little longer.
Shouldn't we at least stop Safe Happiness?
The taboo rope in the basement
should be tied securely
'cause I still can't enter, huh?
[Hwa-su] Understand?
[tense music]
You're weirder than I.
[ambient music]
[gate closes]
[upbeat music]
[Mr. Hong] Hello.
Welcome.
[beeping]
[ambient music]
[beeping]
[suspense music]
[door closes]
Are you okay?
[In-pyo] What are you doing here?
What is all this?
They're creepy.
[In-pyo] Well...
They are creepy.
But I love them.
[clinking]
What on earth are these things?
They're kind of me.
Do you have the basement keys with you?
Of course. Why?
We should destroy the high school
while they're away.
Now I can't protect them anymore.
Because my abilities are gone.
The students will head to the rooftop
and then jump off.
And some of them are going to die.
How do we destroy it?
We open up the Apji Stone.
I can't charge you anymore.
Instead of us closing it like last time,
we'll keep it open.
We'll make a statement
that shows everyone...
this isn't a place for a school.
Let's make a colossal mess.
Okay.
Let's go.
-You sure?
-Yeah.
Lead on.
[tense music]
[music continues]
[door closes]
[door opens]
If we enter here...
we may not be able to come out.
So what?
Wait.
Hold on.
The flashlight.
Wait a minute. Wait for me.
[suspense music]
[Eun-young] I had a friend, you know.
[In-pyo] I know.
You bragged about a friend
who's like family to you.
[Eun-young] I don't anymore.
[In-pyo] Why not?
[In-pyo chuckles]
Did you two have a fight?
[sighs]
It's silly to argue with a friend
at our age.
I love how I don't see jellies...
anymore.
I enjoy being normal.
I love it.
I'm sorry.
I find being normal boring.
Unless it's something bad.
I think it's better to be weird
than be ordinary.
My grandfather...
was also weird as it gets.
But he was bad.
[solemn music]
[tense music]
APJI STONE
[eerie music]
[In-pyo] Would you...
leave here without me?
I wouldn't.
We leave together.
Really?
Can I trust you?
Yes.
[tense music]
Okay, damn it!
[grunts]
[grunts]
Hold on!
[groans, pants]
[panting continues]
Sorry about that. I wasn't ready yet.
No don't!
[Eun-young] Shit.
Fuck.
Fuck!
We're fucked.
Huh?
[calm music]
[muffled screams]
[In-pyo] What's wrong?
[music continues]
Shit!
[whimpering]
Hey! Hold on!
You said you wouldn't leave me behind!
Come back!
Not again!
[sobbing]
[panting]
[rumbles]
[panting, sobbing]
[heavy breathing]
[panting]
Goddamn it!
[sobbing]
[tinkles]
Seriously?
[wailing]
[grunts]
[pants]
[sniffs]
[In-pyo grunting]
[heavy breathing]
[panting]
[In-pyo] Ms. Ahn!
Where are you?
[laughter]
[In-pyo] Ms. Ahn!
Ms. Ahn!
Ms. Ahn!
Ahn Eun-young!
Answer me!
[Eun-young screaming]
-[gasps]
-Mr. Hong!
We're really doomed this time!
-[sobbing]
-[In-pyo gasps]
[Eun-young]
A world where jellies weren't visible,
sure was special.
It was peaceful and relaxed..
All the colors were harmonious,
and the shapes were perfect.
[light music]
Although it didn't last long,
I was truly happy.
I doubt that I was designed
by a particular someone.
[sploshes]
But if my maker does exist,
I'd like to ask this...
"Why did you hide
such a beautiful world from me?"
Kang-sun said
that you should face what you can't avoid.
[In-pyo] Who's Kang-sun?
A friend.
He died.
[In-pyo] Ah.
[ducks quacking]
[In-pyo]
We'll ban the laughing exercises first.
What about Safe Happiness though?
[Mr. Hong] In-pyo.
Hong In-pyo.
Hong In-pyo.
[Eun-young]
The school building was rebuilt
and the faculty members were replaced.
A new season greeted us
and the students came back
healthy as ever.
Of course I still dream
of quitting this school,
but it's not like
I have anywhere else to go.
At least, there's a certain job
I can do here.
Which is meaningful enough.
Is this what people call "worthwhile"?
[scoffs]
[knocking on door]
Jang... re...
My name is Radi. You write it with an "I."
JANG RADI
Right, Radi.
It's short for "Radical One."
RADICAL ONE
See this?
[Eun-young] All right, Radi.
Are you in pain?
You see, it's not me who's in pain.
My mom sees ghosts.
[whooshing]
Could you come to my house sometime?
[chuckles]
[quirky music]
Your house?
[closing theme music]
