The Kid Page #6

It's against the law!

I'm just gonna call

the police now, all right?

Tell them...

Do I know you?

I don't know.

Why do you keep

comin' back here?

I came back to get my plane.

- And then I saw the popcorn.

- Your plane?

My mom gave it to me for Christmas.

How'd you get it?

That is my plane, okay?

My dad just dropped it off

over here.

Okay? It was in his attic for a

long time. I've had that plane for 30...

thirty years.

Then why does it have

my name on it?

Look. Right here.

"Rusty."

Russell Morley Duritz.

I hate that stupid name!

How'd you know my name?

- Mother's name is Gloria.

Your father's name is Sam.

- How do you know all that?

- Your sister's name is Joanne.

- But everybody calls her...

- Josie.

- Josie.

Hi.

Hi.

Are you who I think you are?

I don't know.

How did I get here?

I don't know.

Holy smokes.

How old are you?

Forty in a couple days.

That is old.

I'm turning eight in a couple days.

Eight.

You're eight.

I'm eight.

This is scary.

No.

This is hilarious.

All right. I'm just going to

the kitchen. I'm gonna make a sandwich.

There's safety in sandwiches.

See?

There's safety in sandwiches, see?

It's funny how he knew

that we called Joanne "Josie."

But only I know

the secret name...

I had for Aunt Cathy when she

was having her epileptic spells.

Aunt Spazzy!

Safety.

Safety in a sandwich.

Safety in a sandwich.

Safety in a sandwich.

Safety...

Get out!

Okay, hallucination?

Get out!

- Am I having a nightmare?

- No.

You are not having

a nightmare, you see.

You do not exist.

I am having a nightmare, okay,

and my nervous breakdown.

This is my first nervous breakdown,

so I'm not quite sure

how they're supposed to go.

But I'm pretty sure that I'm dreaming,

you understand? Dreaming! Dreaming!

Dreaming! Dreaming!

Okay?

I don't think you're dreaming...

'cause you're talking,

and your eye is sort of twitching.

Hey! I don't have time

to go crazy, okay?

So if you want me to go crazy,

you're gonna have to get on the phone...

and call Janet just like everybody else

and schedule an appointment!

Ah. Ah, good. Okay.

Make contact with the outside world.

- Hi, Janet. It's Russ.

- Hi. You okay?

- No, no, good.

Uh-huh. Nothing. Fine. No,

I just came upstairs to return my calls.

You wanna hear something funny?

I was downstairs and now I'm upstairs.

- Hey.

- You see...

- You dropped this.

- Russ. Hello?

Safety in a sandwich.

Safety in a sandwich. Safety!

Safety in a sandwich.

You are just a hallucination!

One that is about to disappear.

Prepare to disappear!

Prepare to disappear.

I'm sitting on the floor.

I'm taking

the very powerful medication.
