Girl Asleep Page #3

- Awesome, thanks.

- Don't worry, the day's

about to get shittier anyway.

- Ah, hello, yes!

With bells on.

This is gonna be so awesome.

I'm gonna wear a suit!

- Oh god!

Oh god!

- It's just a little celebratory

get together, that's all.

- But I don't want a party.

- Oh, just be

grateful, will you?

I never got offered anything

when I was your age.

All I got was, "oh, which

pizza hut do you wanna go to?"

- And what's wrong

with pizza hut?

The have puzzles

on the place mats.

That's very clever.

- What's all the hubbub in here?

- Oh, Jesus,

put some clothes on!

- I told you I

didn't want a party.

- We just want to meet more

of your friends, that's all.

Show you off a little.

You're becoming a

beautiful young woman,

but you always hide your

light under a bushel.

- What?

- I'll get you a new dress,

and we'll get your

hair and makeup done.

We can all do it!

- She doesn't need too much

gussying up though, does she?

Not my little girl.

- Mum, please don't do this.

- It's important.

I just want you to come out

of your shell a little more.

It'll be good for you.

- But...

- no buts.

It's happening, all right?

End of story.

- Dad, she's not

even listening to me.

- I think you're overreacting

a little bit, pumpkin.

- I'm not overreacting!

- You are.

- Do you wanna destroy my life?

I don't want a party!

- Your mum's already

gone to a lot of trouble.

- Neither of you are listening!

- Turn it down a bit, please.

- No!

Get this through

your thick skulls!

I don't want a party!

- Greta!

- No f***ing party, all right?

- You okay?

- No.

- What's going on?

Come on.

I hate seeing you

like this, pumpkin.

I miss my happy little girl.

You remember her?

Hmm?

Where'd she go?

- She's still here.

- Look, in the end

it's up to you,

but it'd mean the

world to your mother.

She's only trying to help.

Mmm.

Hmm?

Just think about it.

I'm sure you'll feel

better about it later.

If you push her.

- Stop it!

- Then she'll treat you

- I said

- the same way gen does.

- Stop it!

- She's not ready for this.

She doesn't want a birthday.

- Oh, yes, yes,

and you know what

she wants, do you?

Don't touch me like that!

- Oh, Jesus Christ.

- You know I hate it.

- Well, am I that

repulsive, am I?

- I can't talk to you.

- Well, if I

disgust you that much.

- I am not talking to you.

I am not.

- Hello?

- Don't you dare!

- What else can I do?

- How dare you say that to me?

- Jesus, you

can be so cold sometimes.

- Oh, this again!

- I'm just trying to tell you.

- I don't want to hear anymore.

- Oh, great.

- I've had it, I've had enough.

- You're just

gonna freeze me out then?
