The Look of 'The Jacket': Influences from the Avant-Garde Page #6

---

What happened to your face?

I was careless. It won't happen again.

I'll say a prayer for you, Jack.

Maybe God will pick up

where the medicine leaves off.

You sure you know where to find him?

Jack.

What are you doing, Jack?

What are you gonna do to me?

I thought I'd just ask you

to come inside with me.

- What if I didn't want to come?

- Well, I'd probably ask you why.

Because I'm not crazy.

You suffer from a delusional disorder.

It doesn't mean you're crazy.

It just means you're confused.

You're here instead of jail because

your condition...

...played a role in your crime.

- I didn't kill that cop, but I don't remember.

Your mind's ability to distinguish

between your fantasies...

...and the real events that happened...

The real events that have happened to me

have been f***ed up, not my mind.

Jack.

I'd like to ask you a question, if I may.

Since when do people around here

start asking for things?

- Okay. Smoke?

- That's what you wanna ask?

No.

I wanted...

I wanted to ask you how your treatments

with Dr. Becker are progressing.

Fine. Fine.

I hope you'd tell me

if that wasn't the case.

Why? Why, what would you do?

What would you do?

I would try to make it stop.

- I'm not sure I want him to stop.

- So it's helping?

They're making me feel like

a different person.

You coming?

We're gonna freeze out here, you and I.

Could get hurt if they catch you

trying to leave again.

What do you know about the sh*t

they do to us in the basement?

What sh*t?

- You know what I'm talking about.

- No, I don't.

Yeah, you do. That jacket.

- What jacket?

- The f***ing drawer.

Now, stop playing games,

you know what I'm talking about.

I know that they take you down there.

I know that they put you in it.

The rest of it, it's...

It's a trip, you know,

it's like a serious vacation.

I found out I'm gonna die.

Well, mortality is actually

a great thing to be familiar with.

I'm gonna die in four days.

That's what I found out.

They find my body in four days.

What are you two yapping about?

We're talking about our ability

to go forward in time...

...to go into the future.

I mean, that's what

we're talking about, right?

Yeah, that's right.

If you need to find something out

when you're in there, just calm down.

The less you freak,

the less you'll trip out.

Yeah, but all this sh*t from before

just comes tumbling...

Yeah, but that sh*t is in the past.

Focus on what you need to get now.

- I gotta get back in there.

- That could be a problem.

- Why?

- Lorenson's got her claws into it now.

When she started getting suspicious of me

was when they stopped putting me in there.

Women.

What do you think I should do?
