Veronika Decides To Die Page #2

And to do this...

he poured a magic potion into the well

from which all the citizens drank.

Everyone who tasted it

would go mad.

And the King... when he saw

his people so changed...

he was terrified.

He was preparing

to leave the city...

but the Queen stopped him,

saying:

"Let us drink from the well,

we'll be the same as they are".

And so, they drank from

the communal well of madness...

and they were immediately

as insane as their subjects.

And so, the King was allowed

to continue ruling in peace...

the rest of his days.

So...

learn to think like those

around you think...

and you can pass

yourself of with anything.

You think outsiders

are any less crazy then we are?

I'm not crazy.

Are you really gonna die?

Who told you that?

Oh, you know,

you talk... talk... talk...

Blah... blah... talk... talk.

I don't wanna wait.

Do you know how

to get my hands on something?

Really?

Come have a smoke with me.

No thanks.

Oh, come on... get dressed. You don't

want them to think you're crazy.

Do you wanna go

outside with me, Ed?

Ask Mari, she'll tell you

how you can get pills.

She's been here longest

out of all the patients.

Her clique

has the best in here.

They don't take their medications,

unless they feel like it.

She was a lawyer on the outside,

and she was married to one too.

But when she lost her job, she had

a break-down and she ended up here.

Her marriage is over too.

And she's really close

to Dr. Blake.

You think she'll help me?

I don't know.

If she doesn't wanna talk to you,

she wont.

What about him?

Ed. I know...

He's gorgeous... but you can't

actually talk to him.

Mari has a way with him,

no one else does.

He was dumped here

a few years ago.

Years?

That's what happened.

He was in an accident, and against the

time he was ever since...

he stopped talking.

His girlfriend was in the car

with him, she died instantly.

He thinks he killed her.

What do they say

is wrong with him?

Oh God, it changes all the time.

Catatony, Schizo,

all these names.

It's no use getting interested in him,

he doesn't care about anybody.

I'm not interested

in anyone right now.

Not even me?

I'm freezing.

Hey! Hey, do you know

what astral travel is?

I use it in my coma treatment. I have the

Moon was still not achieved, but I do.

!I have my last treatments

the next few days.

You can take all you want.

How are you?

Your parents

are waiting outside.

No!

I can't see them!

I won't see them!

But they want to see you.

They've come all this way.

Did you tell 'em?

No.

No, you told me not to.

I thought,

I leave it up to you.

How can I tell 'em?

I think you should see them.
