from all earthly bonds.

It was then that a feeling

of unattachment overcame me.

And I was praying my life would

end rather sooner than later.

And when everyone around me

began to disappear,

I knew the messenger

of death

was getting closer

every day.

I've been praying,

but God's punishing me.

No, he's not.

Then why does he

allow this to happen?

People just don't

disappear.

There are some things for which

God gives us no reason.

I'm going to die.

I know I am.

Yes, you will someday.

But for right now,

let's pray.

Jesus Christ,

Our Lord and Savior,

forgive us.

You have to step

into the light, Lenore,

and cast away

the darkness.

The world you're looking for

is of the past.

It's of the dead.

It's not for you.

But I'm Lenore.

I can't change that.

Yes, but you're not

his Lenore.

How can you be sure?

I've known you since

you were a little girl,

and watched you grow

into a beautiful young woman.

You are not the prisoner

of someone else's poetry.

- Why won't it stay?

- It just needs a flash.

Anyway, should we get

a lighter?

- We should use a lighter instead...

- Wait, hold on.

...of matches.

- Hang on, I can do it.

- Sorta.

- Are you sure?

Maybe.

Maybe not.

Ha, got it.

There we go.

- It went out again.

- I know.

- Gimme your lighter.

- I don't have a lighter.

That's the only problem.

None of us have a...

- My tooth hurts.

- Too much candy.

I'll take you

to the dentist.

It's giving me

a headache.

- I hate the dentist.

- Yeah, but...

it's better than having it

hurt all the time, right?

See this?

I'm breaking everything.

- Don't break my... sh*t.

- I didn't break it.

- God!

- Jesus.

Why do I keep you around?

Oh, I remember!

- Ha ha ha.

- You're so funny.

- I know.

- Jesus.

- Uh-huh. Yep.

- No.

- I don't like dentists.

- I'll drug you.

- You'll drug me?

- I'll drug you and take you.

You're drugging

enough there.

Um, with the flashing?

Kinda f***ing up my high.

Don't you have to do

laundry or something?

Lan, come up.

You can't look too trashed

for tomorrow.

- Hey, that's what makes...

- We've got quite a few interviews,

don't forget.

- Hmm, yeah, I know.

- Do you want some?

Um, maybe.

I'll think about it.

- You're gonna take me tomorrow?

- Yeah.

- Definitely.

- Not you.

All right, I won't.

Um, we have to set that

appointment with the dentist

probably no later

than 11:
00 a.m.,

- because we have to be...

- When does it end?

At 1:
00.

And at 3:
00 you've got

an interview

with your fans

and the press, so...

you've got to be there

right after.

You've got a long

busy day.

Well, if I have to do

all that sh*t tomorrow,

I'd better get

pretty damn high tonight.
