Faces In The Crowd Page #5

Can you or can you not

see people's faces?

Well, of course

I can see

people's faces.

It's just that

they keep changing

all the time.

So, you have the answer

to your question.

Cinnamon candy?

But there must be

some sort of treatment.

Medication or

[laughs]

Face blindness isn't

something you just catch,

Miss Marchant.

It's something

you lose.

What are you

telling me?

That I'm gonna be

stuck like this forever?

You're gonna have to

get used to people's

faces changing...

as soon as you lose

sight of them.

Out of a thousand faces...

one might

miraculously linger.

Thank you so much.

Doctor.

Faces are the bar code

of the human race.

Ever since mankind

went tribal...

we're constantly looking

at each other's faces...

trying to decide whether

they're friends, foes

or lovers.

Don't underestimate

the seriousness of your

condition, Miss Marchant.

[alarm clock beeping]

[beeping]

[beeping stops]

I don't wanna

be late for school.

Okay, everybody.

Urn, can I-can I get

some quiet, please?

Great.

Urn--

so today, uh,

we are going to play

a new type of game.

Okay?

And we get

to wear stickers!

And it's gonna

be superfun.

Fun, fun, fun.

So when

I call your name...

I want you to come up

to my desk one by one...

starting with

Caroline Beasley.

Now, for this

game to work...

I need you to wear

the sticker all day long...

and don't take it off.

Do you understand?

Yes, Miss Marchant.

Does everybody understand?

Please, keep your stickers

on all day.

Charlotte Canton.

[children shouting]

Stop. You guys,

settle down. Please.

Caroline.

I didn't do anything!

I need you

to turn around

I need to see your stickers.

Hi. I'm here

for my daughter.

Your daughter. Uh

Sandra.

Sandra. Sandra.

Uh, Sandra.

Uh-

Miss, Miss.

Miss, I need

to go pee.

Okay, sweetie,

go pee.

I'm sorry,

I'm in a bit of a rush.

Where's my daughter?

Sorry. Uh, Sandra.

Sandra?

Miss, Sandra left

with her daddy.

Left with her dad.

You let her go

with my ex-husband?

Are you insane?

I told you

not to let her go

with my ex-husband!

I have full custody!

What time did they go?

Was he with somebody?

I need to know if he

was with somebody.

That is really,

really important.

[children making noise]

[noise increases]

Shut up!

[school bell rings]

I have trouble

concentrating on

names, that's all.

But it will pass.

I mean, it will pass.

In the meantime...

how are you gonna

watch the children

in the yard?

Or during

swimming classes?

With your stickers?

[sighs]

Anna, you're

my best teacher.

But I'm gonna have

to suspend you.

I'm sorry.

If you're better

by September, I'll

see what I can do.
