All the Wilderness
1
My father used to tell
me about the wilderness.
He said it's a place where
all things go to live,
and all things go to die.
A place for wonder.
A place for fear.
My father said each man's
wilderness is his own.
It's alive in us.
Charm!
Where you going, man?
Hey charm!
Restless.
Waiting.
Cory!
He found
time, even at that tender age,
to pay his tailor's bill
properly, and to fold his
trousers with the same crease
every night so that he always
looked neat and dignified.
Strange to say, he
made no friends.
Perhaps he was just a thought
too perfect
for a district like the five
towns.
Do you have a headache?
Elliot's gonna die.
What do you mean?
Elliot.
My hamster.
This is a threat, Abigail.
It's not...
Are you kidding me?
This isn't a threat.
You know him.
It's only been six months.
That's not an excuse.
Your son punched
my kid in the face.
Look, maybe this homeschooling
thing just isn't working.
Maybe if he actually
socialized...
Oh, excuse me?
Don't go there.
You have no idea what
you're talking about, and...
I really don't even know
it's that big of a deal.
I don't understand why
he would run from him.
Did you write this?
James, this is not right.
James.
You can't go around telling
people that they're going to die.
It's not cool!
I'm not trying to be cool.
You're scheduled to
see Walter tomorrow.
You can discuss it with him.
Of course, let him deal with me.
Come on Elliot.
Come on dude.
Let me out...
Turn we then to the
one proper masthead.
That of a whale-ship at sea.
Lost in the infinite
series of sea...
Nothing ruffled but the waves.
Straining along the deep...
While beneath you swim
the hugest of monsters.
There's a wolf in me.
Fangs pointed for
tearing gashes.
A red tongue for raw meat.
There's a hog in me.
A snout and a...
Did you know turquoise
isn't from Turkey?
What?
Your ring.
turkish bazaars, but it was
found in Iran.
I know a lot about turquoise.
Great.
Yeah.
What happened to your face?
I was kicked by a mule.
A mule?
Big fat one.
James?
Dr. Pembry's ready for you.
Hm.
Your shoes, Walter.
Huh?
They're ridiculous.
Why are my shoes so
important, James?
Well, they're not important to
me, but they should be to you.
Why?
Well...
For all you know
they could be...
Lifting a piano to the
fourth floor as we speak.
And then you step outside, a
cable snaps, and then boom.
Dead.
Is that how I'm going to go?
Death by piano?
Is that what you believe?
And what about...
You also know how he's
going to croak, right?
Hm?
You know, that's unprofessional.
To do that during a session.
Well, I heard you were
officially accepted to
St. Helen's.
The freak school?
It's not a freak school.
Some of the most gifted young
people in the world have
studied there.
At the freak school
in the mountains.
Well, it's normal to be scared
or anxious to go to a
new school.
Mm, I'm not scared.
Really?
Really, and this is a waste
of my time, because I'm
not going.
Might be good to
meet some new people.
James...
I don't want to talk about it.
Alright, how about
your father then?
Let's talk about your dad.
You went to visit his
grave the other day?
James?
Uh...
I'm going to excuse
myself to the restroom.
Hey.
You're so busted.
Huh?
Where you going?
I'm leaving.
Looks more like escaping.
Maybe.
Where are you escaping to?
Uh, home?
That's not very ambitious.
Uh, I don't have
anywhere else to go.
I gotta go.
So, how did it go?
