Just Like Heaven Page #3

This is good, and the fact

that you initiated it yourself,

that's important. OK?

Now, who is she? Do I know her?

I mean I'm seeing someone

that's not there.

She's emotionally unavailable?

You mean like a hallucination.

Twice, in my apartment.

A woman.

Attractive?

- Not really there, Jack.

- Right. Right. OK.

So when you saw this woman,

were you drunk?

I mean, I had a little buzz.

Dave, don't lie to me,

it doesn't help.

OK, fine, I was wasted.

But still, I shouldn't be seeing

some little blonde control freak

running around my apartment.

Why are you writing this down?

This isn't a session.

That's insulting, OK? I'm your friend

Jack here, I'm not charging you.

But if this thing rolls

into a second hour

we're gonna have to work out

some kind of deal. I'm kidding.

So, hold on a second.

You were drunk,

- you saw this blonde, controlling...

- I gotta stop drinkin'.

- No.

- No?

Yeah, drink, party.

Just do it with other people.

God gave us alcohol

as a social lubricant.

Make men brave,

make women loose.

What is that,

some Berkeley shrink thing?

No. Look around you, OK?

See this? This is the world.

Join it.

Stop swimming around

in your own mind.

That is a dangerous neighborhood

you should not go into alone.

Come on, Dave.

It's been two years, man.

No more hiding out.

Absolutely not.

- Are you insane? What are you doing?

- Oh, God, what is this?

I didn't want to,

but I will call the police.

I'm sleeping. It's a dream.

It's one of those dreams

and you know you're dreaming.

- How do you keep getting in here?

- It's you who's in here.

Oh, my.

This is more serious than I thought.

Go away, you don't exist.

I'm gonna ask you

a series of questions.

I want you to answer honestly.

Has your recent

alcohol consumption increased?

Yeah, so?

Are you hearing voices or seeing

things that aren't quite real to you?

As a matter of fact, yeah.

Have you recently sought consult

from a mental health care professional?

What? How do you know?

Stay away from me.

Do you feel paranoid,

like people are out to get you?

Why are you asking

so many questions?

I'll take that as a "Yes".

Listen to me.

You have fantasized,

quite convincingly,

that you've rented an apartment that,

in fact, belongs to somebody else.

Pick up that pillow.

Pick it up. It's OK.

There's a small red stain

on the back

where I once spilled

cherry cough syrup.

Yes, that's it.

How else would I know that?

Or the fact that these sheets that

you're now soiling are from Nordstrom.

I still have the receipt,

it's in that drawer.

Open it up and check.

I think you need to

come to terms with the fact

that you may be mentally ill.
