Touched With Fire Page #4

- You can have...

No. I signed myself in voluntarily

last night.

- Yes, I know, but...

- You can't keep me here.

- You're still not allowed to be released...

- No, you can't keep...

- Call my mom. Call her.

- She's on her way.

Listen. She's on her way

with your clothes.

- Good morning, Paul.

- It is a good morning.

You know what would make a really

good morning, though?

What?

You slip some Adderall

into my cup instead of Seroquel,

which is understandable

because it is kind of the same color.

You know, especially

with pre-coffee eyesight?

None of those cameras

are gonna see anything.

And you don't have manic eyes,

know what I mean?

Oh, yeah. I think the last thing

you need is Adderall.

- Okay. Think about it.

- And, down.

- Think about it for lunchtime.

- No. Let me see. Let's see.

Thank you.

This is the idea of the apocalypse,

is a new beginning.

- Gary.

- Yes, but you don't understand...

- What?

- I'm graduating you.

What? That's great.

How did...

- That's... Hey, thanks, man.

- Hey.

I'm just trying to tell you

what I see in the cards.

Are we the first people to tell you

that you're gonna die?

- No, but the fact that...

- I'm really sorry to be

- the bearer of bad news.

- You're scaring him. Please stop.

You don't have to shoot

the messenger here.

Let's play some strip poker!

All right, guys.

We have two new people joining us today,

Emily and Marco.

I go by Luna.

Okay. This your nickname?

It's my poet's name.

Okay. Great.

So, how's everyone feeling?

All right, Gary,

why don't we start with you.

What's on your mind this morning?

The apocalypse.

Okay.

Do those sound

like rational or irrational fears?

Anyone?

Irrational.

All right, Luna,

tell Gary why his fears are irrational.

Gary...

you don't need to be

afraid of the apocalypse

because...

it's gonna happen,

no matter what.

In fact, it's already happening.

- Luna.

- What?

The world's not going to end.

Maybe not the world,

but the human race is.

Gary, don't worry.

The human race isn't going to end.

Of course it is.

What, you think it's a coincidence

that Nostradamus

and the Mayans both predicted that?

No. They saw where

the planet was going.

They saw everyone around

them cutting down more and more trees.

They saw humanity becoming a disease.

Do you know what

the definition of a disease is?

It's when a single organism

becomes so overgrown

that it's a menace to the whole.

And do you know what happens

when a disease threatens

the overall holistic balance in Nature?

It develops antibodies.

Okay, we're descending

into some place

that we don't really need to go right now.

I didn't mean anything by it.
