Cold Souls Page #2

I don't think that my soul is twisted,

Doctor.

Uh-Twisted?

It's- I- I just want to be able to do the

play.

That's exactly what we're offering

you.

No. No. No. I'm sor- I'm sorry.

This is-This is-This is insane.

Uh-

What about my-

What about my family? What about

my wife?

This is not about your family, is it?

This is about you.

Happiness is not about making the

people around

you believe that youre happy.

I don't need to be happy.

I just don't want to suffer.

Do you honestly believe that it's

enough...

to just live and not suffer?

Everyone wants to be happy.

And I'm sure you're no exception.

- You noticing the colors?

- Yeah. Yeah.

Surprising, isn't it?

We imagine the soul in bright

colors...

but they mostly come in dark tones:

blacks, browns, grays-

- Lots of grays actually.

- Mmm.

- Some of these are celebrities.

- Oh!

- Whose soul is that?

- Well, the identity is confidential of

course...

but I believe this one had a

melanoma.

Jesus Christ.

How did we get to this point?

Progress. Triumph of the mind.

Believe me, when you get rid of the

soul...

everything makes so much more

sense.

Everything becomes-

well, functional and purposeful.

All right. All right.

Ah, thank you.

Oh, no.

No, no, no. No, thank you.

No, Stephanie.

He'd prefer not to take a look on the

inside.

Just a plain extraction.

- How we feeling?

- Oh, fine.

- Good. Now just relax.

- Okay.

Breathe normally.

Your consciousness will not be

affected.

You'll keep everything useful

to the proper functioning of your

mind.

Okay.

All right. Here we go.

How does it feel?

Awesome. It just

is.

Can you describe the difference?

Honestly I don't feel much

difference.

And I have so much energy.

How long do you intend to remain

soulless?

As long as possible.

As you can see, soul extraction is

effective and discreet.

- Experience the prime of your life

again.

- How do you feel?

Uh, I can't tell.

- Have you seen it?

- No, not yet.

Aren't you curious? This is so

exciting for us.

You know, our souls will be stored

together.

Mr. Giamatti.

- Oh, eh-

- You can safely leave it here for the

moment.

This is our soul stimulator.

We're going to check to see how

much of your

soul has been successfully extracted.

It's very simple.

If you feel something, press the red

button.

If not, press the blue.

Good luck.

Um-

Are you saying that my dog is

soulless?

No, ma'am. Its just that we don't

know...

how to deal with pets.

We've got at least 95% of it.

What do you mean, 95%?

Well, uh, the five percent

residual won't bother you.

It's just enough to keep you

animated.

Ah.

So, how are you feeling?

Hollow.
