"Holy oh." "Whoa Shit." "I was thinking if you need money you can use my credit card." "What?" "I got it under control" "Sure you don't want to come and stay at my place tonight?" "I'd like to, but I'll be up all night studying" "Now get out of here" "Marcus sent me to get the money" "You cannot be showing up to my fucking house like this" " I need more time." " Marcus said to get the money tonight or he's going to pay himself at your girlfriend's house." "Listen to me" "You leave her the fuck out of this." "Oh, I'm just the messenger" "Get us the fucking money" "Jesus" "Cool." "No." "My husband liked to collect awful things" "Take it to the dump with everything else" " You know I can sell this" " Young man, when you take this to the landfill promise me you'll watch them bury it." "Man.," "Sorry, ma'am, but one man's trash is another man's treasure" "Cooler than I thought." "What" "Shit" " What is it, man?" " Get your shit together" "You gotta see this" "All right" "Wow." " What the hell is it?" " I don't know." "What's that?" "It's a key" " Is that an engraving?" " Yeah." "Von Tristen,1952." "Dude, we might have a real antique here." "Come over here" "Check this out, dude" "I think I figured out where the key goes." "Give me that" "That's creepy" "What happened?" "Why would someone put a music box in a coffin?" "I don't know" "But I'm going to bed" "So you're thinking post-modern philosophy- ambitious" "I like it." "Right here." "First few chapters are a little slow" "Mid-way through it picks up, but the ending- change your life" "Okay, I'll take a look" "Game over" "Skinner was asking about you in class today wondering if you dropped out" "Yeah, I slept right through it." "The harder I try, the worse I do" " I wish I could help, man." " Show me what you found" "Wolfgang von Tristen." "Born:" "Frankfurt, 1412" "Builder of torture devices" "I saw that already" "There's no mention of coffins-?" " Of any kind." " Right this way" "Age of Darkness" "This guy was like an evil version of Leonardo da Vinci." "They called him the Devil's Craftsman" "That's it." "Idolon Machina" "Von Tristen was fascinated with death and the worlds beyond" "The later part of his years were spent creating the ultimate machine- a mechanical coffin that allowed him to safely experience the sensation of death." "Von Tristen called this 'ghost machine'- ghost machine" "How much you think it's worth?" "Thousands?" "Millions?" "Collectors would kill for something like that" "Hey- the book's not allowed out of the archive!" "You're gonna set off the alarm" "Glad to be of assistance" "Dude, what the hell are you doing?" "I just replaced a couple of pins in the music box" "It should work fine" "Easy, man." "What's up?" "Read this" "Von Trlsten's ghost machine" "This coffin-like device is said to produce an out-of-body experience similar to the first moments of death" "Von Tristen was accused of sorcery and burned at the stake" "Although sketches of the coffin were recovered from his laboratory," " an actual prototype was never found" " Until now." "No way." "Grab Minnie." "You'd better not hurt my goldfish, man." " What'd you do?" " Nothing!" "Wait wait wait wait" "Just give it a sec" "Minnie's dead" "Oh ho!" "I can't believe it" "Hey" "Call Platt." "Kyle!" "Why are you beeping?" " Honk honk" " Hey." "What's up?" "So what's the surprise?" "Ah, that is exactly what I needed" "What happened to your neck?" " It's a hickey from Gina" " What?" "She tried to roundhouse me in kickboxing class, but I kicked her ass" "Ohhh, that's my girl the night as it cuts before" "Whatever we're going thru just want to be with you..." "Kyle, the gas company just called" "They're going to shut off the gas if we don't pay the bill" "Not now, Sutton!" "Sure, I'll take care of the bill" "Just like I did last month" "When are you moving into a new place?" "I am not moving into a new place" "I got an awesome bathroom." "and Sutton pays for everything" "Hi, Julie." "Hi,Sutton." "Yeah, thanks." "Sutton, will you get the door?" "Hey, Platt" "Well?" "Let's see this thing" "Interesting." "Wait till you see the inside" "Amazing" " Wanna go for a ride?" " I wanna run some tests first" "You scared?" "I'm careful" " How about you, Sutt?" " Yeah right." "It didn't hurt the fish" "Um, there's a big difference between a goldfish and a human being" "All right, it's gotta be me" "Hey, do I have to remind you this was built by an expert in torture machines?" " With some help from the devil" " Wait?" "Huh, what?" "Just kidding" "If you see spikes shooting out of the sides, pull me out" "October 10th" "Kyle Baker enters the ghost machine" "Three turns should put Kyle in a trance for about a minute" "Kyle," " are you afraid?" " Just turn the key" "going" "I don't know" "Ha ha ha." "Kyle, you can quit pretending now." "Dude," "I don't think he's joking" "He's- he's not breathing This is not good." "I'm not okay." "This is not okay." "This is not okay" " Huh-uh" " Careful" " Come on, Kyle." " I don't know if you can touch him" "' Kyle, wake up!" "' Easy, Okay." " No no, Kyle, Kyle" " It's okay." "One minute." "Come on" "No, we need to wake him up right now!" "Just let the music end!" " Ooh ooh!" " Holy shit!" "You scared the hell out of me!" "One minute, five seconds" " Tell us what happened, man" " Man!" "Dude, do you remember anything?" " Come on, what the hell, man!" "?" " Say something." "Mm," "It was like virtual reality" "You're there, but you're not" "You mean like a dream?" "No, it's more like being invisible" "I wish you could tell me more, man" "Try it for yourself" "I shouldn't do this" "Yeah, Platt, I thought you were smart." "I'm cursed with curiosity" "You're gonna be fine" "Relax" "Bon voyage." "Ahh!" " Easy, man." " Chill, dude." "We got you" "Thank God!" "Get me out of this thing!" "Get me out!" "What the hell happened to you?" "I don't think my experience was as enjoyable as yours." "No, this isn't good." "I do not like this at all!" "Not one bit!" "Not one bit." "It's evil, I don't like it!" "It's not good!" "Dude,dude!" "What do you think it's doing to us?" "It's an NDE- a near-death experience" "We seem to be approaching the threshold of death without actually crossing over." "You all right?" "Do you need a breather?" "You want some water?" "I'm next!" "I was hoping you'd say that" "I really think this is a bad idea" "It's gonna be fine, Platt." "Sutton, when you go under" "I need you to read the words on this card so that I'll know we're not dreaming" " You understand?" " Yeah." "My God" "Kyle!" "Kyle!" "Shit." "Listen," "I need you to keep an eye on him" "What's going on?" "I came to show you something" "When I offered you my credit card yesterday" "I didn't know you had already been using it for a month!" "Oh come on, I was going to pay you back" " Look, I can't talk about this" " What are you thinking?" "I can't talk about this right now!" "Oh my God!" "What the hell is going on, Kyle?" "Something big is going down." "I will call you tonight to explain all of this." "Unbelievable." "That's Platt's scooter" "Great" "Holy shit!" " What did I tell you?" " I was walking." "What was written on the card?" "Sometimes, I dream that I'm walking" "But never like that." " What was written on the card?" " What?" " The card." " I don't know" "Maybe we were just dreaming" "Steal your girlfriend's credit card, huh?" "That's pretty low, man" "You were out there?" "Sneaky little bastard" "And you- you might want to go look at your scooter, dude." "Julie can really kick" "Wait, what?" "This is bigger than anything else I've ever known" "This is bigger than lasers This is bigger than- this is crazy." "We're on a canyon of unknowing, guys." "Look, some art collector finds out about this, some criminal, the police, it'll be gone by morning." "So it's our secret, okay?" "And no more using the machine" "Not until I do some more research" "Seems perfectly safe" "Look!" " Whoa!" " Whoa whoa whoa" " I was standing." " You were falling" "You saw it!" "I felt my legs" "That's impossible" "The feeling is gone now" "Look, we've got something powerful here and we have absolutely no idea what it's doing to our bodies." "I want to do some more research before we use it again." "Agreed?" "I'm ready to go back in right now" " No!" "No, you're not." "No" " Easy!" "We'll get there" "Agreed" "Sutton?" "I felt my legs" "Excuse me, sir?" "Come on, pooch Good boy." "This relationship isn't working" "I need more than casual sex" "I want some time off" "Either we take two weeks off from each other or... we can end it right now" "Two weeks" "I love you, Kyle, but I really don't like you right now" "Of course." "I thought I might have seen you tonight." "I've got your money" "Jerrod, get the schoolboy some tea" "Why are you messing with all this stuff anyway?" "Ain't they got beers or cigarettes at your school?" "Yeah." "It was helping me study harder" "Now it's just helping" "Let me show you something" "You know, smoking is fine- if you want to lose your teeth" "Real pros shoot their crystal" "Maximize the effects" "Saves money." "I'm not that desperate" "There you go, buddy" "Have fun" "Wait a minute" "Ow!" "What the fuck?" "!" "Just 'cause you go to college doesn't mean you don't follow the same rules as the other junkies, okay?" "From now on you pay as you go" "I'm not a fucking junkie" "Just wait till you start losing your teeth." " Yeah." " I got some info on the music box" " What time is it?" " It's almost noon" "Shouldn't you be in class?" "Shit" " What did you find out?" " It relies on the diminished fifth also known as diabolus in musica, a tonal interval banned by the medieval church because it was considered to be satanic." "I want to record the music so I can study it further." "I don't understand a word you're saying, Platt" "Just don't touch anything I'll be there at 6:00." "This stuff goes way too quick" "A lot of religions believe in the power of sound." "The Vedics believed that the universe was created by sonic vibrations and will be destroyed the same way" "Uh, how you guys feeling?" "Fine" "You guys haven't had any problems since we used the coffin last night?" "Nosebleeds, headaches, that sort of thing?" "Nope" "How about your legs, Sutt?" "Nothing." "Must have been a nervous reaction before" "It happens" "Have you seen anything strange?" "Hallucinations, hot flashes, nightmares?" "I slept like a baby" "Me too." "I saw something horrible." "It looked just like this" "Scared me half to death" "You were really freaked out yesterday" "This thing's gotta mess with your head a little." "Tonight" " I'm going for maximum duration" " Wait wait wait." "Wait just a minute." "I'm here to do the sound and nothing else." "Don't touch me" "Fine" "Listen, you guys don't tell me what to do with my machine." "Kyle Baker enters the ghost machine for the second time." "Tell us what you're going to do, man" " Why?" " For the marketing video" "That's nobody's business but my own" "Come on, man." "Time's up." "Stop it!" "Stop it!" "You know, man?" "Your girlfriend ain't half bad" "Doesn't move much but you can do anything you want with her." "Just give me my stuff." "Give them what they came for" "Thanks, Jerrod." "I knew you were good for something" "Are you okay?" "I feel good." "Real good" "Come on, man." "Tell us where you went" "The gates of heaven" "Come on." "You guys gonna help me out?" "You guys might want to take a look at something" "Goldfish die all the time" " Take me to the max." " You guys are tweaked" "Good night, fellas" "See you in class tomorrow" "What?" " I miss him already" " Oh." "You should just get it over with and leave him" "He used to be different- like really sweet." "After college we were gonna go to Europe to see the castles" "You're such a sucker for their romantic bullshit, aren't you?" "No." "No no no" "Don't answer it" "I'll just tell him to stop calling me" "Okay." "Julie, please don't hang up on me" "I meant it when I said I needed time off, Kyle" "I know" "But I got some great news for you." "What?" "I have to tell you in person." "I got something to show you" "You're burning me out, Kyle" "Meet me tomorrow at the cafe near your house." "It'll be worth it, promise you" " Noon?" " Okay." "I love you, Kyle" "No!" "Whoa" "How are you feeling?" "I never felt better" "Where were you, man?" "The audience wants to know" "I snuck into a movie theater" "Must have been a good movie" "Look, I'm sorry" "Get me out of here!" "Come on!" "Grab the waist." "That was strange" "Yeah" "I didn't think he could get those" "Me neither" "Nice fugue, Tristen" "Bach would have been proud" "Sound without sound" "I know that number." "I am Professor Julian Cutler with the Center for Acoustic Studies" "The founders of the medieval church understood the power of sound..." "For a sustained period of time to cause trauma or death. "" "Organ music has been known to provoke religious feelings and dread 7-8 Hz is the frequency of the average brain alpha wave" "Sustained sound at this frequency can cause disorientation, unconsciousness and even death" "Enough for a small creature... it worked on an insect, maybe even a small fish" "Definitely not enough for a human body." "Hmm, there must be something else." "I paid it all off- everything I owe you, plus some of your stuff too" " How did you get the money?" " It doesn't matter." "You and I are going to be happy from" "It's not about the credit cards, Kyle." "What happened to the guy that I used to date?" "The one that used to smile and make me laugh?" "I look at you now and all I see is some sort of sick person." "And, babe, I don't know why" "I don't have to tell you every fucking detail of my life, do I?" "See, that is what I'm talking about- that right there." "Look" "I'm sorry." "Things have been a little crazy lately" "What's up, Platt?" "It's in the music" "But not the way you think" "The real power comes from ultra-low frequencies" "I'm with Julie right now" "The music requires a transmission device- something to focus and channel the sound" "Then there must be something else hidden in the coffin, shooting the sound directly into our heads" " Let's talk about this later, Platt" " A needle perhaps." "That would explain Sutton's CNS reaction" "Direct stimulation of the craniocerebral junction could restore some form of neuromuscular activity" " when the brain dies." " I'm losing you, Platt!" "Kyle!" "When you use the coffin, you are not having an out-of-body experience Your brain is dead!" "Do you hear what I am saying, Kyle?" "You're killing yourself every time you use that thing!" " Yeah." " I'll be over at your place at 7:00" "We need to figure out what we're gonna do with this goddamn thing" "See you soon" "Hey, I'm perfectly fucking fine!" "I've never felt better in my entire life!" "Yeah" "Fuck!" "It's fucking gone, man It's all fucking gone." "You fuck!" "You let somebody follow you?" "No, there was nobody fucking- I don't fucking know!" "I don't fucking know, man!" "Okay, there was nobody fucking- fuck!" "Do you know how fucked we are?" "Calderon is going to cut out our throats and yank our tongues through the fucking holes!" "That's how fucked we are!" "He's officially an hour late." "Let's do it" "Ugh,you're bleeding, man" "What if we really are dying?" "Then death is a wonderful thing" "You want me to go first?" "No." "I'll go in" "It's a stupid idea" "If we're gonna pay Calderon tonight, we need to move some shit" "This crap is all we got left." "Mixing those is fucking poison" "We fuck the junkies or Calderon fucks us" "I'd rather fuck some junkie, than us get shot." "Marcus ain't interested in your bitch tonight!" "I got cash" "Hey, man." "Hey, listen to me" "Hey, you don't want to do this" "Hey look at me." "Look at me" "You don't have to do this" "Hey!" "Sutton, get me the fuck out of here!" "Sutton!" " Were you careful?" " Of course I was!" "Two, one!" "Really good." "Open the heels, drop down to the knees, lift the feet to push up." "Aren't you gonna invite me in?" "Sure." "Nice place" "No!" "When did you take these pictures?" "Just tell me about Kyle" "How much do you know about crystal meth?" "Kyle's an extreme personality but he's not an idiot." "I didn't believe it myself at first" "I gave him this box" "I'm sorry I had to be the one to tell you." "I had a feeling" "I really appreciate you helping with Kyle" "I hate what Kyle's doing to you" "I love you, Julie" "What are you afraid of?" "I'm sorry, Sutton, I just don't feel the same way about you." " Because of this" " Of course not." "Do you know that I've been in love with you since high school, and you never even noticed me?" "I never meant to make you feel bad" "I chose Kyle to be my roommate just so I could be close to you" " You did what?" " I'm a whole different person now!" "Oh my God" "I'm healing!" "And I'm getting stronger every day" " You're hurting me" " Shhh." "No more talk" "Get out!" "Get the fuck out!" "Idiot!" " Kyle Baker?" " Yeah?" " You're a friend of Oscar Platt, right?" " Yeah." "I'm going to need you to come with me, sir." "What happened?" "He was in a big hurry to get out of here." "Did your friend have anybody who would want to hurt him?" "Everybody loved him" "Yeah" "It looks like he was into some pretty creepy stuff" "We found this on the screen" "It's unfinished." "It's addressed to you" "No one cheats death, Kyle" "We must destroy it" "Destroy what?" "I have no idea" "Okay, tell you what if you do get an idea, give me a call." "Thanks, fellas" "What are you doing?" "Oh my God" "Platt was right" "He was" "How long you been hiding this?" "Get away from my coffin" "You are not gonna take it away from me" " All right, Sutton." " Put it down, Kyle" " Okay, Sutton, all right" " Put it down!" "I don't need you to fuck Julie for me anymore" "You're so beautiful" "The night as it cuts before" "Oh shit" "Whatever we're going thru just want to be with you" "You're so beautiful..." "What's going on?" "You're so beautiful..." "What the hell?" "Someone help me!" "I'm in apartment 303" "Please, somebody" "Who are you?" "Answer me." "Please stop." "No." "What did you do to me?" "Sutton?" "No." "I never meant to hurt your feelings." "No no no" "Oh fuck!" "Julie" "Kyle, I think Sutton drugged me" "He's hiding somewhere" "You're not going to be able to see him" " Get out of your apartment" " I'm too weak." "Julie, keep your eyes open" " I love you." " I love you too" "No no, Julie!" "Julie" "Some guys give a girl a ring or a nice vacation" "But I'm going to give you something priceless... and you're going to love it" "We're gonna use the coffin together so that you can see the world the same way I do" "Hurt me all you want" "I don't care about this useless body anymore" "Julie." "Julie!" "Do you really love him?" "Then you just killed him!" "Julie" "Guess you learned a trick or two, huh, Sutton?" "The power is in the music, Kyle" "I just had to make it play a little longer." "What the hell?" "I can't believe you wanted to hurt my coffin, Kyle." "It's killing you" "Right here, Kyle!" "That's for all the times I had to listen to you fucking her" "Tonight you're gonna be the one listening on the other side of the wall" "Leave her the fuck alone!" "Do you believe in ghosts?" "Scream for him" "Fuck you." " Help me, Kyle!" " Julie, listen to me" "Hold tight." "I'm coming for you." "Hold on" "Where are you, Sutton?" "Hiding and spying as usual" "Not anymore." "You're a sick son of a bitch you know that?" "No no" "No." "Please,Sutton, no." "Please no." "Please no, Sutton" "So this is it, huh?" "I'm not afraid of you" "You wanna take me, take me!" "Kyle's not going to save you, Julie" "Sutton, please" "Oh God" "No fucking way" "Help me burn it, Sutton" "Aww, are you afraid to die?" "Cause I'm not" "What makes you think I'm not gonna come back and haunt you?" "Without the coffin?" "Good luck." "No!" "Send me a postcard from hell!" "Not this time" "You cunt" "Ha ha!" "You're gonna have to aim straight if you want to kill me" "Good" "You and I got something to finish but first things first" "Come on, man, let's end it now" "Oh!" "No!" "No." "No." "No-ooo!" "Are you sure about this?" "It's something I have to do" "Just wait for me" "I should have destroyed it like you said." "I should have done it a long time ago." "You?" "Now I can finally leave this place." "Hey, how long will I see it for?" "For the rest of your life" "Death is always walking with us waiting for the time" "The only difference is now I can see it." "Another fight club game just to be alive today" "If it's a chain of pain life's a bitch" "Another double fault crime made a freak" "To break up the fight now who makes it real" "Death is a beautiful thing" "Beautiful beautiful" "Beautiful beautiful" "Death is a beautiful thing" "Death is a beautiful thing" "Beautiful beautiful" "Beautiful beautiful..."
