Morgan: Killer Doll

Once upon a time, there was a girl.

Hello?

- I... - Where are you?

-Yes, hello? I'm gonna find you.

- You think this is a game? - Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!

Just wait.

Whenever I get a hold of you, I ain't gonna let go.

Please guide me, Mama Oshun.

I know it's not the right time.

I'm gonna smack you around, you hear me?

What would I even say?

No, she can't help me.

I have to help myself.

It's okay.

As long as we have each other.

Did I say we were done?

Where are you, girl?

Daddy... Please, please, I know you don't feel good--

You got one job.

Keep this house spick and span.

I want to be able to lick off these floors, and I can't.

Because you want us to live in squalor.

Daddy... I'm doing my best, Daddy.

I have school.

I don't know what else to do.

I've been too easy on you.

Oh, no.

That's gonna change.

You messed her up.

You care more about that thing

than your own flesh and blood.

She's my friend.

Dad!

-Friends aren't made... -No!

Daddy! No! No!

-of stuffing! -No!

Buenos dias, Senor Mango?

Como esta usted?

Mucho gusto.

-Hey, morning, babe. -Hey.

-Coffee? -Yeah.

-Okay, careful, it's hot.. -Thank you.

Alright, here's the joke. Here's the joke.

Oh?

A polar bear goes into a bar,

walks up to the bartender and says,

"I'll have a rum...

...and coke."

And the bartender says, "why the big pause?"

He says, "I'm a polar bear."

I'm a polar, get it? With the paws.

Not funny, Dad.

You're right. When you're right, you're right

and you are usually right.

Hey, how's the leg?

You want me to get you a hot pack?

It's okay.

It tightens up in the morning, but I'll be fine.

You should try yoga.

Yoga?

What do you know about yoga?

I know yoga is good for you, it's therapeutic,

and I know somebody if you want.

Aren't you going to be late, Dad?

You're right.

Who is going to help Mrs. Bailey count her pennies

if your dad is late?

Bank managers do run the world, so...

You have class, don't you?

Just Russian lit.

You need a ride or is the Bradster coming to pick you up?

I'm going to walk today.

Come on, do you think that's a good idea?

Really, with your stiff leg now?

I could run.

Now that's funny. Not.

See you later, baby.

Hey. Mango.

You got this.

Hi, Astrid.

-Hi. -Hi.

Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.

Darcy. Hi, good morning.

Hi. I...

Sorry, I saw you walking, and I am...

was... kind of stalking you.

Oh, my God, are you okay?

Oh, no, yeah, it's nothing. I'm a total goof.

I just tripped.

Um... Are you walking to class?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, right. Me, too.

Could I walk with you?

Of course. Yeah, I love it.

Yeah. Great. Me, too.

I am going to be slow and steady.

You don't have to wait.

I don't want to make you late.

No, don't worry about it.

We don't really get a chance to talk,

you know, just the two of us.

You know, I'm sorry if it felt like we drifted apart.

I just didn't know if...

No. No, no, no, don't worry about that.

It was my fault.

I was going through a lot and I just couldn't deal.

But I'm feeling a lot better now.

I think the scholarship helped.

I'm starting to feel like me again.

You know, it's not like I didn't want to see you.

Just was a little unsure.

Don't worry about it.

Stuff gets weird.

Friends drift apart.

Oh my God, I remember that necklace.

Yeah, yeah. Remember when we were little,

we used to take turns wearing it

and call each other Gumdrop Princess.

Yes, yes, the Gumdrop Princess.

Right, yeah, exactly.

We used to do that silly little true friends dance.

Like...

Oh my God, yeah.

Oh my God, yes, I remember that.

Yeah, it's kind of like my good luck charm now.

Would you maybe want to get a coffee sometime?

You know, catch up?

I got you something for your birthday.

I'd really like to give it to you.

Wow, that's really sweet of you.

Do you want to come by my house today?

Yeah.

Unless you're busy.

No, no, I have a doctor's appointment after class,

but I can hop over around 4:00.

Perfect.

Yeah.

Hey, Astrid, why didn't you wait for us?

I texted you. I'm walking today.

Why would you walk if you don't have to?

I can walk, you know.

Eww, but why?

Don't be a bitch, Fiona.

What did I say?

Okay, come on. Get in the car.

Do you want a ride?

Guys, move over for Darcy.

No, it's okay, I prefer to walk.

Are you sure?

She says she doesn't want to, okay?

Come on.

Oh, uh, hey, Fiona, hit the back, Jack.

The Bradmobile!

I noticed the bruises.

Oh, um, it's not what you think, Olivia.

What am I thinking, Darcy?

That my father hit me?

He's never been violent before. You know that.

Doesn't mean he couldn't start.

I fell.

Actually, we had a heart to heart,

and he promised to quit drinking.

Really?

Yeah, it's true.

He even checked himself into a rehab and everything.

Which one?

I really don't want to talk about that right now.

I'm feeling too good.

Okay.

We can table it for now, but I do--

I think I'm ready.

Ready for?

To tell Astrid how I feel about her.

You think maybe she shares some of the same feelings?

She has a bubble-butt boyfriend,

but I, I don't know,

I feel like we have a connection.

You're taking a big step here.

Matters of the heart can sometimes

exacerbate certain behaviors.

I don't want to talk about that.

I don't want you to either,

but I just want you to be careful, Darcy.

I'm not going to try anything.

Are you still taking the Lexapro?

You haven't skipped doses?

I'm good. I'm taking everything that I'm supposed to.

I need you to be honest with me, Darcy.

I'm not jittery.

I'm not biting my nails.

I'm good. I'm fine.

I'm actually great.

If, if I'm acting weird, uh, because I'm in love.

Okay.

Well then, let's talk out what happens

if Astrid doesn't share your feelings.

Like, if Astrid doesn't feel the same way,

it's going to drive me nuts?

What do you think?

I'm prepared for that eventuality.
