I Met a Girl

Love... Loving...

Okay, yep. Good. Slower. Love...

Loving... That's the secret.

That's the only thing.

Because everyone wants to find their one, their "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

Because everyone wants to find their one.

Their "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds"

with tangerine trees and marmalade skies.

Because that's the dream. Right?

Useless, pathetic...

Don't listen to her, kid. You're a shining star.

Love, love, loving.

That's the question. And it's the motherfucking answer... Oh, shit.

Sorry.

I want to see you swallow them.

Nicky, come on. Really? You don't seriously...

We had a deal. No drinking.

Jeepers, you're like the Brother-nator tonight, I love it.

Darling, we can take him back now.

Your dad's exhausted as it is.

Uncle Ivan said he could take him.

Guys, guys. I'm right here.

- Ivan can't, he's got the poodles. - Family, chillax!

Please. I'm calm now for reals and my band's all set to play your song; my gift to you!

I gotta give you my gift, right?

Okay.

Hi, me again.

We are They Said It Wouldn't Last...

Which bears no relation to today's events.

And this is for my brother Nick.

What?

That's not true. It's not true.

Whoa, whoa. That... that... that was a moment.

That... that was amazing, did you feel that?

Man, it's so, so hot in this tent. Do you guys feel the hot...

Does anyone else feel hot in this tent, because...

Did you feel? No, no. Stop. Stop, stop. Stop. Stop.

Let's just live in this moment.

We don't need music or sounds to connect, to feel the overpowering love in this...

- Hey, man, let's just take five... - No, no.

I love you, Nicky.

And it's just such a monumental thing, you know, it's such a huge leap of courage.

And... and if you'll let me, I just...

I really want to share with you...

all... all the love I have inside me.

- Devon! - No, no, it's okay. It's okay, because...

Devon!

I am love.

No! Devon!

As John Lennon once said, "Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."

And for me, that's the truth.

But maybe I'm the lucky one, because sometimes reality can really, really suck.

No, no! My life-blood is sacred!

- Please. Sacred. You're evil. - Dirty... Disgusting...

- I'm pure. Pure as an angel. Don't. Don't. - Evil... Putrid... Demented.

I'm sacred.

I don't think this is a very good idea.

I want to go, now, okay?

Where's my brother? Where's Nicky?

Paint is healing.

The color, the sensation.

It feels natural.

I was 12 when I first heard them, the voices.

One was friendly.

That was Mr. Rocket, my protector, my hero.

The other, Miss Needles, was not.

It's why they want to keep me constantly medicated, to lock out the bad.

Problem is, it can sometimes lock out everything.

Ooh...

Devon?

No. I'm asleep. Go away.

- Up and at 'em. - No, it's not tomorrow yet.

Mate, what happened here?

Oh, there was a shaft of light, like I was a stranded ship.

Is that decaf?

There is no caffeine in the house. Remember?

Yeah.

Yeah, but what if Liv, not intentionally, but inadvertently,

brought some in from school, because that smells like caffeine...

Morning, Dev.

Hey, sis, how's the growing fetus?

Yeah, well, it's, you know.

Hey, and I heard you throwing up again. You okay?

Oh, yeah, I managed to get three whole crackers down first this time.

- Are we all good here? - Yeah. Yeah, all good.

Good. Okay.

- Well, what was that? - Nothing.

Come on, we're leaving in 15.

Pet Patch.

Hey. Loser birds. Move!

- Are you dead? Huh? - Hey!

- Do something! - That's it, piss off, right now.

It's okay, guys. Don't worry about it.

- Loser birds. - Don't do that!

Is everything okay?

- No, it's really not, is this yours? - Devon.

Can you clean out the litters?

Yeah, but this little turd was...

- Excuse me? - Now, okay? Thank you.

Turd!

- I'm sorry about that, he's new. - Okay, well.

Let me make it up to you.

We could throw in the budgie with the large enclosure.

- My God! - How would that feel?

Quick! Go, go!

- Be free. - Devon! No!

He was a bully!

And nobody should pay for them, they're not commodities,

- even though she was just going to give it away like... - It is a pet shop!

A "shop".

And it was a job which I'm probably going to be needing myself now

after skipping out on another open house.

Oh, so I should just sell my soul? Ignore blatant animal cruelty?

Jesus Christ.

Where are we? Is this a prison?

- It is not a prison. - It looks like a prison.

Devon, come on.

I thought you sold houses, because this is like a shed, and in a questionable area.

It is a solid, safe apartment, with great appliances.

- Mm-hm. - And um...

Well, look at this.

See? That's total darkness.

Yeah, that's... Are we moving? Here? With the baby?

Because this is...

Oh, not "we."

Just... Yeah. No.

- Hey. - No.

Devon. Hey, stop, okay. You... you can do this.

I got a great deal on the rent, all you have to worry about is paying me back

when you get another job.

I can't be on my own, in here, with my condition. Are you crazy?

Well, look, I'm exactly ten minutes down the road.

And if you just stay on plan, you could...

You don't want me around the baby. Right?

Right? You think that I'd... hurt it?

No, of course, I... I don't think that.

Of course, I don't think that.

Devon, I...

Yo, yo, yo. Check it out.

The Ken doll suit, the trim. Reel it in.

Devon.

- Um, what are you doing here? - I know. I've been AWOL.

But now, I'm back with a musical vengeance and...

I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Devon. Hi.

- Oh, please don't... - And you're sticky. Sorry.

It's so... so lovely to meet you.

Yeah, this is, um... this is Kate.

You met her twice when you were at the clinic.

Kate. Kat. Kitty-cat. Kat.

We... we were actually just heading off.

- Um, I've got a work dinner, and... - Yes. No, it's cool.

I could chill, work on some new tracks.

Man, I've got some great new tunes bubbling away...

No, man, I'm... I'm not playing anymore.

What? No. What... what are you talking about?

The band's dead, dude, it's over.

It's time to grow up.

Bullshit. Bullshit.

Anyway, uh, hoping I could just nestle into your couch for a day or two, tops.

- You wouldn't even know I was there. - No!

Yeah, uh... yeah, sorry, I can't.

Just look after yourself, yeah?

Um, yeah.

Nobody wants you...

You suck the life out of everyone...

You wear everyone down...

Nobody wants you around... You're a burden.

They all wish you were dead...

Do it...

Fuck it.

Hey, kid, what's the big hurry?

Not loving this mood you're in, D-Man. Hang on!

Olivia hates you...

You know what you need to do...

Nobody wants you around. Nobody loves you.

There's only one solution. You deserve to die.

Your parents will finally be free...

You're going to hurt the baby... the baby... Saved from your disease...

Hey, back up, that's far enough.

Come on. We got to hang out together more, see, that's the problem.

Kick back, have a few bevvies, chase a little tail.

I'm worthless, I'm no good.

That's crapola, you're a champion, you're a bloody superhero.

Just do it, you worthless runt.

Hey, hey, hey. Stay with me. You're a halo of awesome.

You're a frickin' legend, man!

Jump... Loser... Do it... No one will miss you...

You're an absolute rock star.

Eh? Hey.

Whoa. Shit.

That was beautiful.

- Oh, God! - Sorry!

Sorry, I didn't mean... Oh, jeez.

Are you okay?

Uh, I'm not sure.

Yeah. I... I didn't think you were going to wake up, I mean, not immediately.

Not that I thought you were dead or anything,

you were definitely breathing, strong pulse, so you seemed okay...

um, apart from actually the light bleeding.

That's... that's why I thought the bathtub was... was the best place for you.
