Sound of My Voice Page #4

---

Who made you feel so powerless

you've become obsessed with control?

With thinking everything through

instead of feeling anything.

Who?

Who hurt you so much

you never wanna feel that way again?

Was it your father?

Was it your mother?

Shut up.

Shut the f*** up, you f***ing c*nt.

What are you hiding from me, Peter?

She abandon you?

She leave you to start another family?

Was she a whore?

I'll hit you.

I'll hit you in the face.

What'd she do to make you so angry?

Shut up. This is so stupid.

What'd she do to you?

What'd she do to you?

She gave up.

She died.

I was a kid. And she died.

She's dead. Everybody happy?

What happened next?

You live with your dad?

Did you live in a foster home?

No.

Who took care of you?

My grandparents.

I see.

You were a good-looking kid,

weren't you?

You're handsome now.

But you must have been beautiful then.

You were in a new house.

A new bedroom.

You felt abandoned.

Angry. Unloved.

Did he come to you at night?

No, of course not.

She watched him like a hawk,

didn't she?

He wait for you after school?

You were all alone.

Fresh as the fallen snow.

And he knew.

Did he make you swallow his poison?

You were powerless then.

But you're not anymore.

You can let go of it, here, with us.

Peter.

It's not my choice, it's yours.

Let it go.

[PETER COUGHS]

You're brave.

Thank you.

Are you okay?

Mm-hm. Yeah, I'm fine.

Okay. I know that

we just wanna start our day...

...but if we don't talk about it...

Talk about what?

What do you wanna talk about?

I don't know. I mean...

I guess I've never seen you cry.

Those weren't real tears.

But they weren't fake.

Yes, they were. They were fake tears.

She's a megalomaniac, Lorna.

She knew things about you.

No. She didn't know anything about me.

She asked questions about me.

She wanted to be right

and I let her think she was.

So all that stuff was--?

It was not true.

Come on. Of course it wasn't true.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry If I scared you...

...but I had to do what I had to do

to get us out of there.

Peter, I just feel like we're in over our heads

with this whole thing, you know?

It's like we started out wanting to make

a documentary on cults.

And now we're in one?

Yeah. That's investigative journalism.

She's dangerous, Peter.

You said that yourself.

What do you wanna do?

You wanna go back to our normal lives.

That's fine. We can do that.

I can teach all day.

You can stay home

and write and surf the web.

And on the weekends we can get wasted

at various art installations...

...or sneak forties into random foreign films.

And then it's suddenly, like, we wake up

and, whoops, where did our 20s go?
