One of Us Page #2

---

We all live in the same place,

and we run the shop

to, you know, support us,

but we're mostly

self-sufficient,

off the grid.

That's amazing.

I'd love to check it out.

It's private.

Oh, come on.

Brent would love her.

He wouldn't love

strangers coming over.

I don't have a place to stay.

And whose fault is that?

- Whoa! Whoa!

-Easy. Take it--

-let go of me! Back off!

Calm down... please?

You okay?

Yes.

Is that a question

or a statement?

Yes, I'm okay.

We're as startled

as you are here.

You realize you're

on private property, right?

I'm just a little lost.

Bullshit.

She was at the shop today

asking about you.

Is that true?

I don't have anywhere to stay.

Venus told me

what a nice place

you have here.

I'm sorry. I just wanted

to see it for myself.

I never told her where it was.

Then how did you find it?

I sort of hitched a ride

in the back of your pickup.

I like this one.

What's your name?

Mary.

Brent.

Please don't blind me.

I just wanna shake your hand.

Why don't you come

inside from the cold?

We'll discuss this

over some dinner.

Come on.

Introductions.

Of course, you've already met

Venus and Luna,

and then we have

our silent sisters,

Helen and clytemnestra.

They haven't spoken a word

since they joined us,

except to each other.

And last,

but certainly not least,

rhea... my first.

To our guest of honor, Mary.

We are grateful

that she has found us

in the darkness.

Thanks for having me. Cheers.

Is this everyone?

How do you mean?

Just, uh... everyone

who lives here?

For now.

I hope you're not vegetarian.

No. What is it?

Rabbit.

Everything you see

on this table was raised,

grown, and prepared here by us.

Except the wine.

Mmm!

That's great.

Everyone should really try

growing their own food.

I'm glad you think so.

Unfortunately, the majority

of this country is oblivious

to the fact that

gmos are being knowingly

and maliciously introduced

into their food supply

as a means to poison

and pacify the population

with cancer and obesity.

You really believe that?

I know it.

But...

Forgive me.

I'm a little passionate

when it comes to these things.

And is that why

you're doing the whole...

Amish thing here?

We're taking a stab

at an alternative lifestyle...

But I wouldn't call it amish.

We have power.

We just choose

to use it sparingly.

The world is filled

with enough energy leeches

as it is.

Yeah, I know.

That's why I left L.A.

I needed a break from it all.

Let me ask you something, Mary.

What really brought you here?

I'm looking for a friend.

Hmm.

Aren't we all?

Look around this table.

Everyone here was lost

in the darkness at one point,

just like you--
