Call Me Crazy: A Five Film Page #6

I'm gonna take them, because

I know I'm not a very good mommy.

I wasn't a very, very good mommy at all.

And now I'm gonna be so, so good.

And I'm gonna take them all.

I just...

Okay.

Therapist to Room 5. Therapist to Room 5.

Okay.

Best girl ever.

Mommy's best girl. Hm?

Maybe I sh...

I should have just...

watched you.

Your meds, it's just...

My med... My meds? My meds?

You watch my meds?

Why would you watch my...?

They're my... They're my meds, honey.

They're my meds, huh?

They're Mommy's meds,

not baby's meds, okay?

Yeah.

It's my job.

My responsibility.

Look at me, baby girl.

You don't do nothing wrong.

Robin Joffe?

Just a minute. Just a minute, all right?

Just a minute. You call Grandma, okay?

Yeah.

You hear me? You call Grandma.

She's gonna take care of you.

Please, Robin.

I am coming. I am coming.

Sweetie. Sweetie.

You call Grandma, okay?

Yeah. Mm-hm.

You need to call Grandma.

Robin.

She'll look after you, and, oh,

really, really, really soon, really soon.

Say goodbye.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Come on.

I'm coming. What's the big deal?

Here I come. I'm coming.

Just go talk to her.

You okay?

No.

I'm sorry.

Don't apologize.

No, honey. Honey, at home

there are five goldfish

swimming in the toilet.

Okay, I'm coming.

I'm... Here I am.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

What do you want from me?

What do you want from me?

I'm here.

And the reason I chose my mother

as the hero of this college essay?

She faces her battles every day

even though

she may never win the war.

She's helped me see...

that I didn't cause her disease.

I can't control it.

And I can't cure it.

This is my mom.

And that is her story.

And now...

I'm ready to leave home...

and claim my own.

Look at that

girl She's lighting up the world

She'll be a hallowed ground

To earn their love

People wait in line

To see the way she shines

If she wasn't perfect

Would it be enough?

Now the sky's on fire

Allison.

Allison.

Sorry. What?

We have to get your mom something.

She doesn't care about

stuff like that.

She's just dying to meet you.

They both are.

In the Midwest,

you don't go to a person's house,

let alone your girlfriend's parents',

without bringing something.

Trust me,

they're both gonna love you.

Hey. Hey. Stop, stop.

Oh, okay. If you bring me home

in one piece, it'll probably go better.

Just watch her play the part

By the way, we're totally

doing it in my old bedroom.

You sure your parents are okay

with us sleeping together?

I don't care.

We're gonna do it

right under Hello Kitty.

I want Hello Kitty to see.

Okay.

I've lived my whole life

Walking on the wire

My heart's on fire
