Everything Is Fine Page #2

Synopsis: Josh is an ordinary teen living in an ordinary suburb, wedged between the high school, the mine and the skate park. One morning, he finds his friend Thomas's dead body. Next, he discovers that three more friends also killed themselves, leaving him out of their pact. As the sole survivor, Josh becomes more and more detached from the world around him. Only Mia, his best friend's girl, can reach him. With more questions than answers, Josh's is the story of a survivor.

What did you want to do?

I dunno, but definitely not shop!

Gonna buy them?

- No.

Damn.

They're so not my style.

No, they're cute.

Cute?

So, what, he asks you questions?

Yeah, but not really.

- So you ask him questions?

- No.

So you sit staring for two hours?

- Sort of. Except it lasts an hour.

He gets fed up.

I think he just graduated.

Thanks.

Great psychologist.

No, he's smart. He's OK.

- Did you swipe them?

- No.

I put 'em on my Platinum Visa.

What a jerk!

Thank you, Josh.

Hi, Mia.

Hi.

You finished?

- Sure.

20 some years

is a long walk

Even if it's not in a straight line

You see a lot of things

in the distance

Y'know what they say

about great minds

You and I

think about the same things

Dream the same dreams

play the same games

We started out

in the same place

Believe it or not

we've got the same names

Everything happens

for a good cause

Whether it be victory or loss

And the road

may turn into a runway

But you don't know

what to do someday

Trust me I've seen it all before

I've climbed to the tops

Of the tallest trees

To get away from the deep water

To find a touch

of the smallest breeze

Go find the girl with a low voice

Who holds the world

in her bare hands

You'll fall in love

you'll have no choice

Once you are given

a fair chance

For the first time

you will sleep well

Take a deep breath

see the sun shine

Hold on to her for dear life

And then watch

the whole world unwind

Ask her to show you some magic

And I guarantee

that she'll say yes

Give it to me.

Give it!

Give it!

F***.

- What?

- I've a practice.

- When?

- Like, now.

It's no joke.

Hurry!

Hey, man.

Chucking his stuff?

Want anything?

No, that's OK.

So are you going back to Iraq soon?

- Afghanistan.

- Yeah, right.

In two days.

That must be pretty heavy.

Yeah, pretty.

Well, ciao.

Mm?

How was school today?

Only one person here

goes to school.

Super cool.

Which classes did you have?

I don't remember.

- Make any new friends?

- No.

A girlfriend?

Nope.

What are you doing?

Damn! I can't believe it.

You're just jealous.

- You bet I am.

Being paid to do graffiti.

I'm paid to make art.

What's the diff?

The difference is,

if I wasn't paid,

the cops'd be after me.

What's it called...

that thing you're in, the program?

Community Explorations

in Art as Leisure and...

Anyway.

OK.

F***.

Do you ever draw anything

besides cyclops

and sparrows and stuff?

- No, I like cyclops.

It's like they see better than us.

Where do you come up with that?

I dunno.

Wait, I'll try closing one eye.

It's true. It's true you see better.

With one eye

your painting is amazing.

Seen like this,

I'd even call it art.
