Cherry Tree Page #3

Some call it magic.

It is sacred and righteous.

- F***.

- These are nature's familiars.

They help us to reach

from this realm to the other

and use the power

that lies there.

Watch.

You see?

Death is the beginning

of everything.

- You can cure him?

- That's why I showed you.

- Will you?

- Power comes from desire.

How strong is your desire

to save your father?

He's all I have.

Will you help me?

- I'd like something in return.

I want you to have

a baby for me.

- What?

I, I'm fifteen. I...

- Well, think about it.

- What if I have this baby?

- I'll cure your father.

- And the baby?

What will happen to it?

- It'll be mine.

- And my dad, he'll be cured?

- Everything is connected.

Everything has to be

tallied and paid for.

If you give,

you will be given to.

Your father's going to die,

and if you want to change

the course of nature...

you have to honor that cycle.

It's your choice.

- I have no choice.

- I've never done it.

Who would I do it with?

- Oh, come on, there's

nice young men everywhere.

You're young and beautiful.

What's wrong with that?

Your birthday's coming.

That's the time.

- Hi.

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

- It's good to see you.

Happy birthday.

Champagne?

Nice try.

There you go.

Jennifer mentioned

it was your birthday.

I wanted to give you this.

- Oh.

Thanks.

- Save them for later.

I'm Sissy, by the way.

- Sean.

Nice to meet you properly.

- Small world.

- Yes, it is.

Ah, this is Jeremy.

- Jeremy, hello.

- Sissy, nice to meet you.

- Excuse me.

So are you having fun?

- Mm. Yep.

You are a terrible liar.

Terrible.

Well, you'll be glad to know

this isn't your real party.

- Really?

- Really.

- Amy's gonna take it from here.

- And Brian.

- And Brian.

- It's all been arranged.

Go out and have a good night.

- Love you.

- And I'll see you later.

- I love you.

- Mm, yes.

- Alright, happy birthday, sweetheart.

- Bye.

- See you.

- Alright, bye.

- Thank you.

- Take care.

- Oh, cheeky.

- Where are we going?

- Okay, watch your step,

watch your step.

Alright, alright,

just through here.

Two seconds.

Okay.

Are you ready?

- Okay, are you ready?

- Yes, yes, yes.

- Are you ready?

Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Happy birthday!

- My humble abode.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Are you alright?

- Yeah.

- It's nice out here, isn't it?
