28 Days Page #5

I woke up.

I woke up on a sidewaIk.

l had no idea where l was. l couldn't

have told you the city l was in.

My head was pounding...

...and l looked down

and my shirt is covered in blood.

And as I'm Iying there,

wondering what happens next...

...I heard a voice.

And it said:

''Man, this is not a way to live.

This is a way to die.''

Can l help you?

Eddie Boone, checking in.

You can't bring a girl

into treatment with you, Eddie.

l wasn't gonna keep her.

You were really lucky

you didn't break anything.

lt'll be tender and swollen

for a while.

You'll have to live with the pain,

because l can't give you anything.

So take these.

That's good.

Listen, rest.

Alternate heat and cold.

You know, your carpet is filthy.

l only bring that up because...

...carpet grit's responsible

for a lot of major health problems.

That's the last thing

that you need around here.

Listen, about that jail thing...

...l can't. l can't go.

Not because l don't

want to go, but....

Oh, God, my hands. They just keep

doing that. That's not normal.

There's something

wrong with my hands.

Well, with me.

Because what kind of person

just jumps out of a window, you know?

Because she can't sit still, you know?

And be alone, and, you know,

in a room without....

You know, a person should be able

to just be alone, right?

You know, human beings should

be able to just breathe.

l can't breathe.

And l feel that....

l think, l know

that if l go to jail...

...like this, you know, l'll die.

l don't want to die.

l don't like what's happening here.

Wait a minute, let's try to use

a feeling word.

l'm pissed!

Okay, pissed. Why?

Because no way should she be here.

Tell her.

No way should you be here!

That's right. There's a rule.

No using. You broke it.

-l'm sorry.

-Sorry, my ass.

All you've done since you got here is

sit around while the rest of us work.

You expect us to be glad

that they let you stay?

l'm not expecting anything.

Gwen, just listening.

Everybody, feeling words.

l don't think you are giving.

l don't feel that

you are giving person.

l'm trying!

l don't feel niceness coming from you.

Should l go to another group?

Great idea. Spread

your negativity even further.

You know, if you really try...

...you could ruin the experience

for the entire patient population.

l am having a bad day!

l am having the worst damn day

of my whole damn life!

So if it is not too much

to ask of you people...

...will you just back the f*** off?!

Excellent work.

Really excellent work.

Good sharing, everybody.

l'm sorry. l'm sorry.

l wanted to talk to you

about last night.

l don't normally do that,

but you were great.
