MICHAEL
You’re an idiot. You can’t live in this fantasy Faith world where good things happen to “good” people. Bad things do happen, no matter who you are. (uses finger quotation marks) FAITH You don’t understand. Bad happened. It came, it kicked it. That’s why I think this way.
MICHAEL turns car off and removes the key.
MICHAEL
So good only happens to everyone else?
Faith leans head against window.
FAITH I never thought about it that way. (closes eyes)
AT THE SAME TIME FADE TO:
EXT. SEA – DAY Faith sinks slowly.
FAITH (V.O.) I often feel not myself.
BACK TO:
INT. MICHAEL’s CAR – NIGHT Faith opens her eyes and turns to MN.
FAITH Maybe. That may be it.
Mom said (1999) Don’t be afraid
Scarring water of Mac and Cheese Said the same
You’re afraid of everything
It won’t hurt said he Blood in 9 year old panties Demurred
Couldn’t wait to get out of me Period
You’ll never see them again If you talk, said he.
I'm supposed to call you pa? Says me
We don’t get To be afraid, says we
Our fears are real Every goddamn day
