Garden State Page #6

It's amazing you can even hear me now.

Look, Andrew, uh,

first of all...

I think you do need to find

a psychiatrist that isn't your father.

That's something that should have

been remedied years ago.

He knows better.

And secondly, uh, I'm in

no position to comment on...

whether you should stay on the meds or not

because I don't know your story.

But my opinion,

since you're paying for it...

is that, yeah, those drugs may help you

as a means to an end...

but sooner or later, if you're not

in some sort of therapy...

whatever's going on in your mind will find

a way to peek its little head out of the water.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

Yeah, you're all right.

You're alive.

Come on.

I'll take a look at you. Come.

I'll need you to take your shoes off.

I have to scratch your feet.

So why were you

really there?

Charging.

I'm a robot.

- Do you lie a lot?

- What do you consider a lot?

Enough for people

to call you a liar.

- People call me lots of things.

- Is one of them "liar"?

I could say no, but how would

you know I'm not lyin'?

I guess I could choose

to trust you.

- You can do that?

- I can try.

Whose bike is that?

It was my grandfather's.

It was the only thing he left to anyone

in my family, and he left it to me.

And I like it.

So this is the point in the conversation

where you ask me if I'd like a ride home.

- It is?

- Yep.

Would you like a ride home?

Fine. But I'm not

getting in that sidecar.

- Why not?

- Sidecars are for b*tches.

Anyone who rides in that

is automatically your b*tch.

Thus, I will ride

on the back.

- Whoa.

- Hold on tight.

Okay. Holdin'.

My hair is blowin'

in the wind.

What, are you

like a hang glider?

My boyfriend was gonna

pick me up so I brought it.

- But then he couldn't.

- What does he have? One of those tandem things?

No. He drives a Ninja.

Goes way faster than this guy.

- But what kind of helmet is that?

- You can wear it on a bike.

- Anyway, how's your head?

- I should live through the day.

Cool.

Make a right here.

Are you doing

anything right now?

- Can you elaborate on "doing anything"?

- I know this guy, Jesse.

He bought this mansion

that's right up here...

and he wants me

to come visit him.

But I don't want to stay very long.

I was thinking, like if you came too...

I could just say I have to take you home

when I'm ready to go.

Wow. That's pretty damn

random of you, Andrew.

- I know.

- "Nice to meet you. Can I use you?"

- No.

- It's the Hollywood in you, I guess.

No. Come on.

It's not like that. It'll be fun.

I'll tell you what, we can have like...

like a signal.

Like, when you pull on your ear,

that's the code.

And then I'll be like, "Oh, I got to
