The Voices Page #5

Synopsis: Jerry (Ryan Reynolds) is that chipper guy clocking the nine-to-five at a bathtub factory, with the offbeat charm of anyone who could use a few friends. With the help of his court-appointed psychiatrist, he pursues his office crush (Gemma Arterton). However, the relationship takes a sudden, murderous turn after she stands him up for a date. Guided by his evil talking cat and benevolent talking dog, Jerry must decide whether to keep striving for normalcy, or indulge in a much more sinister path.

- I don't know.

- Well, I do know.

Where tattooed meth addicts

will buttfuck you daily

for 15 years to life.

You're a good man

who made a mistake.

Nobody is gonna

rape you, Jerry.

But he did mean to do it.

- No.

- Not the deer.

That was an accident.

I'm talking about the girl.

- You wanted to kill her.

- Never.

Why'd you take the knife, then?

Oh, my God.

- I'm evil.

- No, you're not.

I've killed things

on purpose, Jerry.

There's no shame in it.

It's instinct.

The only time I felt truly

alive is when I'm killing.

The only time I've

ever felt truly alive.

You see what I mean?

But you have to do something

about the body, Jer.

What about the body?

Well, some hiker

stumbles across it,

and pretty soon

it's "CSI:
Milton. "

And guess whose hair and fiber

and spit and blood

are everywhere.

Yours, Jerry.

Go get rid of the

f***ing body, dipshit.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

- Hey, Jerry.

- How you doing?

Oh, hey, Sheriff Weinbacher.

I'm good, really good.

Well, what happened here?

A deer jumped in the window.

It was horrible.

- But you're okay?

- Uh... um, yeah.

What did you do with the deer?

That's probably good meat.

Oh.

Uh, I ju... I left it

on the side of the road.

But I shouldn't have done that.

I screwed up. I'm really

sorry about that.

No, it was an accident.

I'm not gonna write you up

for hunting out of season.

Thank you.

Thank you, Sheriff Weinbacher.

I appreciate it.

No problem, Jerry.

You get that window fixed, okay?

- - Yeah, I'll do it

right this afternoon.

Cool.

Drive safely, Jerry.

You, too.

Hello?

Oh, crap.

That's... that's right now,

isn't it?

Okay.

Yeah, no, I'm on my way.

On my way.

Headaches?

- Trouble sleeping?

- No.

- Suicidal impulses?

- Uh-uh.

Do you hear voices?

I hear your voice now.

Disembodied voices.

Voices that seem to be

coming from somewhere else.

Not really.

Jerry...

do you find yourself

crying a lot lately?

Uh-uh.

No.

- No?

- Mm-mm.

Are you still taking

the medication?

Usually.

You have to take it

every day without fail.

I know.

I know, but...

But what?

The medication, it smooths things

out, and that's okay, right?

But even though

there were bad moments...

- Very bad moments?

- Very bad.

There are also moments

of inspiration and beauty,

when all the world makes sense

and the elegant secret

mechanics of Man and God

are revealed

in their many dimensions,

and the universe

is laid out before mine eyes

and it is a blessed place.

You totally stopped taking

the pills, didn't you?

Totally.

Thanks for your honesty, Jerry.

Our relationship depends

on the cooperation

of the Department

of Corrections.
