All Too Human

Why'd you take him out of school again?

How in the fuck do you think that's okay?

It's been difficult for him there.

He has a hard time with the other kids emotionally.

I really wish we could rethink sending him to Cedar Creek.

You know I can't afford that shit, Carol!

What are you trying to do, just rub it in again?

No, it's just-

- What exactly do you think has changed in the last month?

Since yesterday?

I don't have that kind of money!

Besides, the kid is 10 years old.

He doesn't understand yet

what it means to have emotional problems.

Now, where is that little shit?

All he does is cost me money!

He doesn't listen to me,

he's got no respect for me

and neither do you!

Goddammit, Carol!

You gotta stop picking him up every time he starts crying.

How's he ever gonna learn?

He's trying.

It is a difficult environment.

You know how withdrawn he can be.

Well, it's probably all the bullshit you spin him.

You can't fill his head with all this nonsense!

I really don't think that-

- I know you don't, Carol, and that's obvious!

I need that boy to have an actual education,

and he's not gonna get it

if you keep picking him up from school.

He needs to to learn to not cry.

He needs to learn a little respect.

Now, where is he?

Please.

Tim.

Mark!

Where are you?

Please leave him alone.

I know you're up here, kid.

Alyssa here.

Listen Alyssa, I know-

Thanks for calling.

I'm away right now, but please leave me your info

and I'll call ya back.

Ciao!

Alyssa, listen.

I know what's really going on here.

Okay, I understand the reality of our situation.

You've always been great at coming up with excuses

and disguising the truth.

As a matter of fact, you're so good at it,

sometimes you even fool yourself.

But honestly, I'm astounded at your lack of insight.

You thought your decision was for my benefit?

But you did it for yourself.

You were thinking first and foremost about yourself,

just as everyone always does.

I know part of the reason you decided to leave me

was because you grew tired of me over-analyzing things.

You know what?

You don't have to worry about that anymore

'cause I'm not gonna be around here much longer

'cause I'm gonna-

Fuck!

Goddamn it!

Who is it?

No one.

It's nothing.

Then go back to sleep.

Hi, Mark.

Hi, Mom.

How are you doing?

Is everything okay?

It's been kind of a long time.

I know.

I'm simply calling to say goodbye.

What do you mean goodbye?

Where are you going?

I'm just leaving,

going out of town.

I'm gonna be gone for a while

and I just wanted to say goodbye.

Oh okay.

What's really going on?

Are you still seeing your doctor?

Nothing.

And yes, I am.

Are you out of your medication again?

Mark?

No, it's nothing like that.

Okay, I'm...

I haven't talked to you for a while

and I just wanted to say

that I'm leaving, okay.

That's all.

I'm praying for you, Mark.

Mom, please.

Don't waste your breath.

It's not a waste, Mark.

I know God can help you, if you just-

What, if I believe?

Yes.

So God's help is predicated on belief?

Does God's existence also work that way?

If people stop believing, he ceases to exist?

Of course not.

I know you don't believe anymore, Mark,

but he still exists.

And he still loves you,

just like I do.

Mark?

Mark?

I don't believe in anything anymore.

I don't wanna argue.

I just wanna say goodbye.

Oh, Mark.

Yeah, she's a beauty.

Super smooth, quick cylinder rotation.

A lotta stopping power.

An old classic.

That's good.

This should probably work.

So it is for you?

Or your husband?

I mean, if you're married and all.

Yes.

My husband.

Well, that oughta make him happy.

Not likely.

You're gonna need some ammunition, of course, huh?

Yes.

These are self-loaded, hollow point rounds.

I reloaded 'em myself.

But we might, uh, have to keep that on the down-low.

Why's that?

Well, they're loaded a little beyond regulation.

And technically I'm not supposed to sell them here.

But I guarantee you, these are what you want.

Can I help?

No thanks, honey, that's okay.

Go outside and play with Russell, okay?

Okay.

Goddamn it!

Most people simply underestimate the power of intention.

It's all about The Law of Attraction.

You get what you think about.

You manifest it with your intention and your desire.

It's pretty plain and simple.

All a person needs to do is focus on a positive thing

and a positive thing will happen.

It works the same way with a negative too.

Very true.

My ex, he was so full of negativity.

I couldn't handle it.

Apparently neither could he.

His negativity got him fired from his job

so I had to leave him.

See that's exactly what I mean!

He totally manifested that in his life.

Just have to not let it get you down.

What I like to do is I make a vision board

and on it I put things that are positive and helpful.

And on a quantum level, things will start to shift for you.

Excuse me.

Were you rolling your eyes at me?

No.

No, I wasn't.

Yes, you were. I saw you.

Fine. I did.

How dare you!

Ma'am, let me ask you a question.

What kind of medication are you here for?

That's none of your business!

Do you wanna know why I was rolling my eyes?

Yes, I do!

Well, then tell me what kind of medication

you're here for.

I will not!

Fine.

Is it insulin?

A diuretic?

It's insulin.

But that's none of your business.

Why do you even need insulin?

Haven't you spent enough time

visualizing yourself getting better?

Why haven't you intended your way right out of diabetes?

Hell, why do you even need a pharmacy?

It's not how it works.

You don't understand!

Next please.

Ma'am?

Ma'am.

People.

9-1-1, what is your emergency?

Yes, there's a house on fire!

Okay, ma'am, what is your vicinity?

That might be too late.
