Call Me Crazy: A Five Film Page #7

Suddenly I'm breaking free

- Mom, Dad, we're here!

- There's my baby.

Hi, sweetie.

Ha-ha-ha.

Wow, look at you.

I see you've retired

the bulky-sweater look.

Mom. Uh...

This is Luke.

Luke. Nice to finally meet you.

So nice to meet you, ma'am.

Ma'am?

Missus?

Claire.

I'm surprised you've come

to our home for the first time

and you didn't bring anything.

She's messing with you.

Ha-ha-ha.

I kept texting her telling her

you insisted we bring something.

Where is Daddy?

He'll be here, a few minutes.

Which reminds me,

I should finish dinner, huh?

Luke, would you take

our bags up to my room?

It's the first one on the left,

the one with the Hello Kitty poster.

Allison.

We sleep together.

I'm not gonna be a hypocrite.

No, no, of course not.

I didn't raise you that way.

It's sweet that you care what I think.

Come on.

So, what do you think?

I think he's really nice.

I know, right? And cute too?

He's adorable.

Oh, honey, hand me

the meat thermometer, would you?

I have not made a roast chicken

in I can't remember how long.

This thing does not look done.

This is not...

Is she here?

Oh, at 150 at least,

don't you think?

Mom.

When?

Heh. Tonight. Are you

freaking kidding me? Tonight?

That's where Daddy is.

Allie, she is so much better.

She's finally on

the right combination of meds.

She is seeing a shrink

that we adore.

So then why didn't you tell me

that she was coming home?

Because I knew you wouldn't come.

Yeah, but you knew I was bringing Luke.

I'm telling you, Allie, she's healthy.

Really?

When healthy people come home,

you don't usually remove the doors.

Okay, she's better.

Until she's not.

If you'd gone to see her, you'd know.

What am I supposed to tell Luke?

He doesn't...

You don't have to tell Luke anything.

We'll just have a nice,

stress-free dinner.

This is a huge transition for her,

coming home.

Please, just don't stress her out.

I just wanted him to see we could be

a normal family for five minutes.

Well, that's about how much time

you've got.

Hey. Hey, so are all the doors

in the door shop?

Because they're all

off their hinges.

That's not the only thing

that's off its hinges.

Oh, I think I hear Daddy.

Okay, okay, there's no way

I'm staying in your room.

There are no doors, except the bathroom,

but that doesn't have a knob.

You can't lock it, and there's a hole,

so anyone can see inside.

How am I supposed to

go to the bathroom?

Trust me, that is

the least of our problems.

It's kind of a big problem for me.

Hey, Allie, my girl.

Oh, how are you, sweetie?

Daddy, this is Luke.

Hi, Luke.

So nice to meet you, sir.

I've heard a lot about you.

You too.

And this is my sister.
