Thumbsucker Page #3

- No way.

- Yeah. Really, I've seen it do wonders.

You just try and relax.

The more relaxed you are,

the deeper we can go.

Focus on the moon

in the painting.

A sense of peace...

...like a white light

fills your body.

Imagine the white light

filling your feet...

...then your legs.

Then your torso.

Then your head.

Imagine you're on a path.

You're deep in the forest.

A shaft of light

illuminates a wild animal.

This is your power animal.

See it.

Study it.

When you feel like

sucking your thumb...

...I want you to call on

your power animal.

Call it now.

Come here.

Do it in your mind.

Whenever you feel afraid, alone...

...call on your power animal.

You're not alone.

You're not afraid.

You don't need your thumb.

And your thumb doesn't need you.

Justin, from now on, your thumb

will taste like echinacea.

What's your power animal?

That's personal.

The mark of a secure nation is not

that conflicts are resolved quickly...

...but that conflicts do not arise.

Very nice, Ashley, thank you.

Next is Justin...

...with an introductory statement.

The North American Free Trade

Agreement.

All right, look over your notes.

I'll be right back.

- Mr. Cobb.

- I have to go.

- No, you have a speech to give.

- I can't stay.

- Look, what's going on?

- Don't touch me.

The Sierra Club website said

clear- cutting was up 15 percent.

Justin.

I think we should

write a letter together.

What happened in Mr. Geary's class?

I was just...

I had to go.

- Do you wanna write the letter?

- Why don't you just write one?

Why are you all of a sudden

so interested in this anyways?

Because it's important.

Because people

should know this stuff, right?

Yeah.

So you're into getting the truth out,

being honest and open?

Yeah.

So why can't you tell me

what MFC means?

Why can't you tell me

what happened in class?

Because that's nothing.

Nothing, right.

Goodbye, Justin.

Perry.

- It work ed.

- That's wonderful.

No, I didn't think it would be like this.

Can you put it back or something?

Your subconscious

has taken its course.

Please, I really feel crazy.

Stick with it, Justin.

Call on your power animal for help.

- I'm sorry.

- What's going on, Justin?

I don't know.

It's okay. You're okay.

I'll get this.

This is gonna be stupid.

I thought you liked that guy.

He just pretended

to be my friend, Joel.

If you're scared, you can go home.

All right.

Joel.

I'm sorry, okay?

Perry f***ed me up.

How?

He said he'd help me...

...and then he just

f***ed me up, okay?

Joel. Just this once.

Please.

Goddamn it.

Mr. and Mrs. Cobb, Justin's

always shown a lot of promise.

But I feel that something comes
