"That's what I told that lady from the courts." ""A great job," I said." "She's your lawyer?" "She's a court-appointed psychiatrist, Dennis." " Thank you for-- thank you for saying that." " No problem." "So, Jerry, the thing is, is Milton Fixtures every year has the company party, a barbecue." " Okay." " And we get one representative from each department to help put it on, usually the new guy." "And the new guy in Shipping is you." "So, you... want me to help plan the party?" "It's voluntary, off the clock." "There will be others, too." "Someone from Sales, a guy from Design, that cute English chick in Accounting, Fiona." " You wanna do it?" " Yes, I do!" "Of course I do." " Thank you." " Cool." "First meeting is tomorrow night at 5:00." "Yeah, I wanna get it on." "I wanna get it on." "The company buys pizza and beer." "Okay, I'm in." "Thank you, Dennis." " It'll be fun." " Thank you, Dennis." "Okay, okay." "Bosco!" "Who's my guy?" "Who's my guy?" "Who's my guy?" "Who's my guy?" "Who's a good boy?" "Who's a good boy?" "You'rea goodboy!" "You're a good boy!" "Whatyoudoin',Jerry?" "Something for work." "Thoseassholesgiveyou  homework now?" "Trying on a shirt for tomorrow."

"Youactlike they're doing you a favor to let you work there, liketheyshouldbeable  to fuck you in the ass withoutlube whenever they want, likesomebigprivilege, lettingyouworkfor free on their picnic." "How do you know about the picnic?" " I know everything, Jerry." " I'm not talking to you." "They'llmockyou the second you leave the room, Jerry." "You'reanunstable crybaby." "I'm not a crybaby." "You'recryingrightnow , liar." "Comeon." "Theonlyreason they don't fire your ass isbecauseyou're so hopelessly pathetic," " you amuse them." " Shut up!" "Before we break up here, I wanna go over theassignments." "We're-- we're just gonna go around the table, okay?" "Can your comment wait?" "I just wanna say that the picnic isgonnabe agoodplace to reach out and form relationships with other people." "Duly noted, Jerry." "We all wanna get out of here, so..." "John, you'll be setting up the barbecue grills in the parking lot, Dave's bringing drinks," "Sheryl's providing decorations, and Fiona's doing the music." " Any questions?" " Oh, yeah." "I've got an idea while we were sitting here." "You know the office corridor?" "I thought it would be the perfect place for a conga line." "Mmm, like at a wedding?" "Or a cruise ship." "It's really easy." "Anyone can conga." "I'll set my head on fire before I conga." "Men are afraid to dance." "The male ego is too fragile." "I'm not afraid." "I'm a man." "I think it sounds real fun." "Thanks, Jerry." "Well,it'snot the coolest thing in the world, but we're talking about a party in a toilet factory, after all." "Okay, it's settled." "We'll go with the conga line." "Moving on." "Jerry?" "I'm setting up the P.A. system tomorrow, so if everything works out, I'm good to go." "And, uh, I thank you all." "And my extension in Shipping is 5-1865." " No." "Dave, go screw yourself." "Sheryl, Dave, come on." "We're done here." "We'll see you all at the picnic." "Anyone who wants the leftover pizza, please take it." " Bye." " Bye." "Hey, do you want any of this pizza, John?" "Cold pizza?" "No, thank you." "Oh, free pizza." "What's better than free pizza?" "Lots of things." "Sushi, for example." "I don't know." "That's like raw fish, right?" "No." "It's perfectly cooked rice seasoned by a master chef on top of which he places specially selected slices of the highest quality, line-caught ocean fish." "Raw fish." "Gross." "You should stick to fast food." " Jerry?" " Hey, Fiona." "Hey." "Can your sound system play music from an iPod?" "I think so, yeah." "Cool, it's a plan." "See ya." "How are you doing, Jerry?" "Oh, uh, very well, thank you." "Excellent, yeah." "Do tell." "Well, uh... they like me at work." " You're a likeable man." " We're having a-- a what do you call it-- a picnic, and they asked me to help out on it." "I was afraid to say yes... and then I said yes." " And?" " Um... and now I'm setting up the sound system." "That's wonderful news." "You're becoming part of something." "Any side effects with the meds?" "I don't know." " Are you taking them?" " I don't know." "You have to take them." "Okay." "Anythoughtsof suicide?" "No, none." "Do you ever hear voices?" "Mm, voices?" "No." "I mean... when someone's talking to me." "Youhesitated a little bit there." "It just makes me think of my mother." "Angels was what she called her voices." "Yeah." "Angels were her coping strategy." "The voices were real to her." "Angels were a reasonable attempt to craft a logical explanation." "I know." "I know that." "Yeah, I know." "She was the best mother that she knew how to be, you know?" "Right, exactly." "Do you have any questions for me, Jerry?" "Oh, yeah." "I got a big one for you." " Okay." "There's a girl." "I like her." "Go on." "I don't know how much to tell her, you know, about you and this and my mom and stuff." "And?" "I don't wanna scare her away." "But I don't wanna lie to her, either." "I'mthinking that if the subject comes up, um..." "I'll just tell her." "But if it doesn't, I'll just leave it be." "You answered your own question, Jerry." "Why are you smiling?" "We're gonna conga tomorrow." " Conga?" " Yeah." "You know, like at a wedding." "It's gonna be amazing." "Conga?" "Hey, buddy!" "Oh, Bosco, what a day!" "What a day!" "I wish you could've been there!" "Did you fuck the bitch?" "I don't have to answer that." "And you'll never fuck her either, because you disgust her." " Shush!" " Yeah, shut up, cat." " She's from England," " Jerry." "In her eyes, you're a ridiculous peasant." "Oh, oh, yeah." "Guess what." "I'm not a peasant, Mr. Whiskers." "Hmm?" "I'm thinking that this is a real good time for a walk, Jerry." "I think that's a fantastic idea." "You're out your league." "Shedrinksteaincarriages and fucks men" " Not Jerry Hickfang." " Go choke on a hairball." " Cat hater." "Come on, Bosco." "Let's go, buddy." "Comeon." "Okay, I'll tone it down a little bit." "You have the greatest hair, Tom." "In the back." "It's awesome." " Shift's over, Jer." " Jerry." " Hi." "Fiona." "You said I should come by Accounting sometime." " I did?" " Yeah." "When we were getting ready for the picnic." "No, I-I don't recall saying that." "Hi,Jerry." "I'm Lisa." "Accounts Receivable." "Jerry." "Packing and Shipping." "Some of the Accounting chicks are going out for a couple of drinks if you wanna pack and ship out with us." "Oh, yeah." "That sounds-- yeah." " Let's go." " Yeah, let's go." "Okay." "Ugh." "Sohelooksmeintheeye and he says," ""Let's move to America, Fi." "Let's get married."" "So, after I've sold everything and moved, that's when the knobhead decides that he's not the marrying type." "Aw." "Yeah, six months later, he marries Jill." "Now they've got three kids and I'm stuck in this stupid temp job." "I think it's time to move back home." "I know karate." "Thanks for coming out, Jerry." "It's cool." "Do you want my last Krunchy Choo-Choo?" " I only had a bite." " Yeah, sure." "Hey, can you give me a ride to my car?" "Or, just home, you know." " Sorry." " Um..." "You're giving a ride to Fiona." "No, no, no, no, no." "It's okay, Jerry." "I've got a lift." " So..." " I don't mind, Fi." "I'd love to, uh, give you a ride." "Okay." "So, you... you're--okay." "I can just get a cab." " What are you doing this weekend?" " I was hoping on" "There's this cool Chinese restaurant that I wanted take you to." " Shi Shan." " Chinese?" "Yeah, but it's more than just egg rolls and fortune cookies." " Do you wanna go?" " When?" "On Friday night." "I'll pick you up after work." "No, it's-- it's all right." "I don't need a lift." "Or just meet there, then?" "The show starts at 7:00." "There's a show?" "A show, yes." "More than just a show." "The best spectacle in the world." " You'll love it." " Wow." " Prepare to be amazed." " Okay." "Cool." "I'll get there early." "I'll save you a seat." " All right." " All right." "All right." "Thanks for the ride, Jerry." "All right." "No problem, Fiona." "Have a good night." "Got a date with Fiona on Friday night from England." "Well, fuck me." "I'm an asshole." "Iapologize,man." "You were right." "Cat food's in the kitchen, Jer, and I can't open the can." " I don't have thumbs." "Who's my good boy?" "Who's my good boy?" " Hey, Jerry." " Hey, Lisa." " Hey..." " Alison." " What's up?" " Where's Fiona?" "She just left." "Do you have something for her?" "Yeah, she needs this address." "Shi Shan." "It's the restaurant where we're gonna meet." "We'll make sure she gets it." " Is there anything else?" " No." "Make sure she gets that, okay?" "It's important." " Yeah, we'll make sure." " Okay." " Is he gone?" " Yeah, he's gone." "What is this about?" "Oh, it's this Chinese restaurant." "I said I might meet him over there." "Well, no." "You can't." "Tonight's karaoke." "Oh, yeah." "Karaoke." "Well, just call him and tell him you can't make it." "No, I don't want to upset him." "I'll wait until the office closes and then I'll leave a message on voicemail." "You're a real sweetheart, Fiona." "Whaa!" "Hey, fish." ""Hi, Jerry." "How you doing, man?"" "Well, I'm a little bit bummed." ""No duh." "She stood you up."" "I'm sure there's a reason." ""I sure hope so." "I wish I could help you, Jerry, but I'm just a fish."" "Oh." " Oh, Jesus." " Have you seen Alison?" " No." "I think she's gonna keep going, actually." " Oh, shit!" " Oh, no." " Now my phone's fucked." " Oh..." " No, that's all right." "I was gonna walk back to the plant..." "Oh, no." "I'll give you a ride." " Yeah." " Thank you!" "You're the best!" " Okay, you ready?" " Okay." " Go!" "You okay?" " Yeah." "It's so horrible!" "Ahh!" "It's like being in England again." "You want me to wait?" " No." " Have a good night." "Ugh." "Bloody hell!" "Ugh." "Shit!" "Ahh!" "Jerry!" "Fiona?" "Jerry." " Ohh." " Fiona, you're soaked." " Get in." " Wow." " Thanks." " You're welcome." "What are you doing out here?" "I was listening to music." "I-I went to Shi Shan." "Ididn'tseeyou there." "Didn't you get my message?" "No." "No." " No." " I'm so sorry, Jerry." "Well,you,uh ... need a hot chocolate or something?" "IsupposeIowe you , don't I?" "Go on, then." "I'm freezing." "I-- you're sitting on a blanket." " Oh." "Don'tstare,Jerry."

"I got crackers in the glove box." "Oh, no." "We need something horrible and greasy tonight." " Do you know Doran's?" " Uh-uh." "You're gonna love it." "It's this terrible, cheap, all-nightburgerjoint out by the county line." " We go." " And you wanna go there tonight?" "Yes and yes!" "Full steam ahead, Captain." " And don't spare the chili." " Yeah, all right." "You know, they say a lot of things about you up in Accounting." "Like what?" "Well, that arty chick Lisa, she thinks you're hot." "And everybody else, we just wonder where you're from." "Oh, my family moved here from Berlin when I was seven." "You know, a kid's gotta go where his parents take him." "I don't even have that excuse." "Why do you live here, then?" "Oh, God." "Well, if you find out, call me." " Hm." " No, sorry." "No, that came out wrong." "I'm sorry." "You don't like Milton?" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no." "It's nice." "You know, the people are friendly." "It's pretty." "No." "High school football and karaoke bars isn't enough." "I'm bored." "Insanely bored." "You like heaven better, huh?" "Heaven?" " What?" " Where you're from." "Heaven?" "Hardly." "No, I'm from Reading." "Reading is a lot closer to hell." "Oh." "You like trivia?" " Yes." "Why?" " I got a good one." "Okay, there's tons of angels in the Bible, but only four of them have names, three of which are Michael, Raphael, and Gabriel." "Who's the fourth?" "You're not getting all religious on me, are you, Jerry?" "No, I-- this-- this is fun." "Come on, guess." "Who's the fourth?" "I don't know." "Freddy the Angel." "No." "Not Freddy." "You know this." "You know his name, I promise you." "You're forgetting one thing." "You're forgetting that he's an angel." "Jerry, kill me." "I wanna die." "Take your knife and cut my throat." " Don't worry," " I'll help you." "What?" "No, no, Jerry!" " No!" "Don't!" " I gotta do it." "I gotta do it." "Oh,myGod." "The fourth angel is Lucifer." "What?" "Lucifer is an angel that, uh-- a fallen angel." "Fio" " Fiona." "Fiona!" "Heaskedme to do it ." "Fiona, don't run." "You'll get lost." " Ah!" " Fiona!" "" " Ah!" "Oh, I don't know how that happened." "I'm sorry if I hurt you." "Oh..." " You-- you're in pain?" "You're suffering?" " I love you." "I'm so sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." " Hi, Jer." " Not now, buddy." "What the hell you been doing?" "It's okay, Bosco." "Pretty bad situation, buddy." "I know." "Maybe the best thing to do is just, um, go to the cops and explain everything." " Just tell them what happened?" " Mmm, yeah." "I think you're right." "Be good to get it off my chest." "If I wait, it'll be a million times worse." "Thanks, Bosco." "You are both so fucking naive." "Yougoto thecops and you say," ""Hey,man, I accidentally stabbed that English chick." "Oh, oh, oh."" "You think they'll all nod and understand thewayyour stupid dog does?" " I don't know." " Well, I do know." "where tattooed meth addicts will buttfuck you daily for15yearstolife ." "You'rea goodman who made a mistake." "Nobody is gonna rape you, Jerry." "Buthedidmeantodo 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." "Theonlytime I felt truly alive is when I'm killing." "The only time I've ever felt truly alive." "YouseewhatImean ?" "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."" "Andguess whose hair and fiber andspitandblood are everywhere." "Yours, Jerry." "Go get rid of the fucking body, dipshit." "I don't know." "I don't know." "Idon'tknow." " 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." "Disembodiedvoices." "Voicesthatseemtobe 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." "If you become noncompliant, I have to report that." " They'll put me away?" " Let's not find out." "Let's make you compliant." " Take the pills." " Okay." "Okay." "Let's not find out." "Ow." "Aw,what'sthematter,buddy?" "I really liked her." "Iknowyoudid ,buddy." "She's a good kid." "I bet you miss her a lot." "Yeah." "I love you guys."

"Takethosedrugs and you will enter a bleak and lonely world, Jerry." "Jerry." "Jerry." "Hi, Fiona." "Look what you did to me." "I'm so sorry." "Friday I had a pretty cushy gig." "I had lots of friends." "I was the office hottie." "Now I'm a severed head in a fridge." "Sucks to be me, Jerry." "What can I do about it now?" "Takethemeds, you useless wanker." "Take them."

" Tally ho, Jerry." " Fiona, you're back!" "Quite." "And jolly well high time." "Bloody blooming right it's jolly well high time." " You look smashing." " Those bleeding pills are rubbish." "I super-hate those pills." "I only took them because you told me to." "Tsk." "Beastly drugs." "They made me look like a sodding Jack-o-lantern." "You know what." "And you're stinky, too." "But now you smell like" "You smell like baby shampoo." " You're beautiful." " Thanks, Jerry." "What a fab cracking day to come back." "Perfect day." "And I'm eating Honey Nut Crunchys with 2% milk." "Hip hip, hooray!" "How's the cereal, chummy chum?" "Mmm, delicious." "Scrummy." "God save the queen." " Hey, Jerry." " Mm-hmm?" "Jerry." "Can you get me a friend?" "A friend?" "I get so lonely in the fridge." "Mmm." "Like, kill someone on purpose?" "By George, that's it." "Kill someone." "What about Lisa from Accounting?" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no." "Please, Jerry?" "Don't be such a Nancy Boy about it." "Please?" "I don't know." " I love you, Jerry." " I love you, too, Fiona." "I love you so much." "Wantsomeof my Crunchys?" "All right, then, Governor." "Mm." "Mm-mm." " Ow!" "Hey, Jerry." "Hey, Mr. Kowalski." "I saw you on Friday." "You saw me?" "Yeah, I saw you." "You didn't see me?" "No, I didn't see you at all." "You were at Shi Shan." "I saw you in the window eating beef chow mein." "Oh!" "At the restaurant." "Yeah, it's my favorite." "Shi Shan." "Thank you for seeing me." "I-I didn't do it on purpose." "No, I mean, I'm just thankful for-- for seeing each other." "You okay, Jerry?" "Oh, yeah." "I'm fine." "If you say so." " See you, Jerry." " Okay." "Oh, one more thing." "Have you seen Fiona?" "Fiona?" "English Fiona from the party." "Mm-mm." "No." "What's up?" "It's the end of the quarter." "We're trying to close out the books and she's not answering her phone." "Plus, her car is still in the factory parking lot." "That's sad." "She was nice." "Maybe she went back to her own country." "She wouldn't need her car anymore." "I'm gonna miss her a lot." "Jerry." "Oh,that'sgood." "Oh,that'sverygood." "Oh,that'sevenbetter." "Oh, Jerry, change the fucking channel before I explode." "Oh,that'smorelikeit." "Oh, I feel so much better." " Jerry is back." " Yeah!"

" We both know you want to." " No." "Youkilledby accident." "That felt good." "Nowdoit on purpose, Jerry." "Justonce." " See what it's like." " Shut up." "I don't have to listen to you." "You're just a cat." "Well, a cat that can talk and reason." "That's a miracle for the ages." "So what?" "Buta guywho talks to his cat-- well,that'sonestepaway  from the loony bin." "Findsomeoneelse, kill them, and you'll discover what it feels like to be truly alive." " By killing?" " It's better than sex." "He is wrong." "We're not like the pussy, Jerry." "We have morals." " That's a good boy." " Did you hear that?" "I earned the right to be called a good boy." "You earned the right to be hit by a mini-van." "Knock, knock." " Hey, Jerry." " Hey, Lisa." "What's up, big guy?" "I was over here." "Just thought I'd see what you're up to." "I'm trying to figure out how to get out of here early." "Early?" "Shoot, man." "It's past 5:00 now." "Oh." " Do you wanna get a drink?" " Yeah, uh-huh." "You wanna go to TGI Fridays?" "Fridays kind of sucks on Tuesdays." "We could go to David's, though." "It's cool." "You'll really like it." " Good." "Yeah." " Okay." "You wanna-- now?" " Yeah, now." " Yeah." "Yeah." "If you're ready, I'll..." "The divorce was final in September or something." "I mean, it went, like, really quickly because I basically agreed to everything." "You know, he got the house and the car and I got the cat." "What kind of cat?" "Um, I don't know." "Like a black and white." "It's a rescue." "It's cute." "Are you good with cats?" "No, the real question is are cats good with me?" "Because they pretty much own us, not the other way around." "Oh, my God, yeah." " Right?" " You've got that right." "Yeah, I mean, if I don't give my cat everything he wants, it's just like, watch out." "Yeah, yeah." "Me, too!" "Me, too." "Me, too." "Yeah, I tried switching to dry cat food." "He was not having it." "He tore up my couch." " No." " I know." " Serves me right, though." " They're very demanding, huh?" "Yeah." " What's your cat's name?" " Mr. Whiskers." "And he is a son of a bitch." " How about you?" " Pig Head." " 'Cause that's what he is-- a pig head." " Oh." " Pig Head." " He's so cute, though." "Do you wanna meet him?" " Yeah." "He's probably tearing up my apartment right now." "Oh, now?" " Yeah." " Yeah." "O-okay." "Uh, yeah, okay, if you're okay to drive." "I'm just gonna go to the bathroom." " Yeah, okay." " Okay, I'll be right back." "I'm not, um, in the habit of... going home with somebody after one date, you know." "I-- but-- um, sometimes you just gotta say, "what the hell," I guess." "Yeah, you just gotta cut loose." "Oh, actually, I'm-- I'm that way, actually." "Can we go-- can we go somewhere else?" "Where?" " It's a surprise." "Where are we?" "This is where I grew up." "It's beautiful." "You think so?" "Yeah, this is so romantic." "What did you guys grow?" "Hah." "Nothing." "My stepdad had big plans, but he was gone all the time with the Army." " And my mom-- well, she pretty much" " What was she like?" "Uh, German." "Beautiful... but mostly sad." "Why was she sad?" "He made her choose between leaving him and leaving Berlin." "She spent the rest of her life homesick." "You okay?" "Huh." "That was my favorite window." "I spent a lot of time there." "You didn't have any friends?" "No, not really." "They called-- the kids called me" ""Gesundheit" and "Fahrvergnügen"" "and the "The Ultimate Crying Machine."" " Kids are cruel." " I know." "I used to-- I used to sit there and I would look up at the-- at the night sky and I'd make believe that the stars were my friends." "That's stupid, huh?" " No, it's sweet." " Oh." "They're coming for me, Jerry." "I'll-- I'll stop them." "It's too late." "They already know." "I told them." "What-- what did you tell them?" "I told them that sometimes I can hear the secret conversations of the world." "Things no one else hears." "The animals... the angels talking to me." "Sometimes I hear them, too, Mom." "I know you do, Jerry." "Never tell anyone." "I told them and they won't let me alone." "Promise me you'll never tell." " Promise." " I-I promise." "Never." "They don't understand." "They can't understand." "What's that sound?" "It's the hospital people... and they have the sheriff with them." " I can't go back." "I can't go back." "I can't go back." "I can't go back." "I can't go back." "Finish it." "Finish it." "Finish it, please." "Jerry, finish it, please." "Please." "Please, Jerry... finish it, please." "Jerry." "What is it?" "My-- my mom-- my mom died up in that room." " Sorry" " I'm sorry." " No, don't be." "Hey." "It's okay." "It's just-- I'm s-- sad." "Take me home..." "Hey." "Thanks." "That was a wonderful night, Jerry." "I think so, too." "I'm really glad you asked me out." " Me, too." "You're so mysterious, you know." "The first time you came up to Accounting" "I could tell there was something deep about you." "Hmm." "You seem a million miles away." "What's on your mind?"

"Jerry, you're a serial killer." " Sheriff Weinbacher." " No, he isn't." " Shh!" " Now, with the aid of the FBI we have developed a profile of the unknown killer." "Male, late 20s or early 30s, white, lower-middle class." " Trouble fitting in." " That's you, Jerry." " Can I have an autograph?" " Shh!" "Will he kill again?" "Well, if he's not stopped soon, every indication is... hewillkillagain." "You hear that, punk?" "No, no, no." "No, no." " You're a killer." " Oh, my God." " A serial killer!"

"And now the cops, they say the same thing." "Jerry." "Jerry." "Jerry." "What are they saying about you, love?" " That I'm a killer." " Take me out." "Let's talk about it." "What if I am?" " Serial killer?" " Yeah." "Well, is it something that you are-- like being brown-eyed or right-handed-- or is it something that you choose, likebeingan accountant?" "I wish I knew." "You can still make the choice, Jerry." "You're still a good man." "Well, I try to be a good man." "I wanna be a good man." " Then there's the cat." " Fuck you, blaming it on me." "Hold-- hold-- hold on a second." "Look, I know what is good." "I know." "I-I wanna lead a righteous and just life." "I wanna be an upstanding member of the community." "But, I mean, you know, Mr. Whiskers, he makes me do bad things." "The cat was nowhere near when you killed me, Jerry." "See?" "See?" "Thank you, lady-head." "Okay, first of all, not true." "Second of all, I know right from wrong, okay?" "I know it." "I try to be good." "But then certain... horrible things happen and I'm filled with-- with terror and dread, standing outside of myself." "Even though I know what I've done," "I also feel like-- like it wasn't me." "Pretty complicated inside the human mind, huh?" "It was you that killed me, Jerry." " You." " Okay, that's true, but in a certain sense, it wasn't me." "It was, uh..." " You gonna say it was me?" " No, I wasn't gonna say that." " Oh, oh, all right." " Devil's ad-vo-cat." "Let's say it was me... but, you know that I'm a talking cat." "There's no such thing." "Everything I say is really you." "It's true, buddy." "It's all you." " What?" " Come on, Jer." "You know that." "Your pets are spot-on, Jerry." "I kind of suspected that." "But if there's me, the regular me, standing here, the me who's talking now, and-- and-- and I wanna be good... then there's you, you, and you trying to make me be something else." "Am I good?"

"I'll figure out how to get in somehow." "You don't need to stay around." "And how are you gonna get in?" "There's a skylight." "I can totally get in through the skylight." "Really?" "You know, I-- I'm pretty good at getting in places." "I lose my keys all the time, so..." "I'm gonna use the skylight." "Oh." "Jerry?" "You okay?" "Um,fine!" "How are you?" "Fine."

"Hey,Lisa,sweetie, maybe give me a call or a text when you get this?" "Hope you're okay." "I can't reach her, either." "Are you guys watching the video of the baby peeing on the senator?" "No email, no Facebook updates." "She was going out with that Jerry guy from Packing and Shipping." " I can't reach him, either." " Jerry the pizza guy?" " God he's weird."

"I'lltake the bullet for you, Jerry." " Oh, oh!" " Don't pee yourself." "It's not the dog catcher, unfortunately." "Shh." "What do we do?" "Oh, Jerry." "I got an idea." "Hi, Jerry." "Hi, Alison." " Hey, Jerry?" " Yeah?" "Yourememberlastweek when, uh-- when you-- when you said there was an invisible line that separates good from evil, and you thought you'd crossed it." "AndI said, "No, no, no, no." "You're a good boy"?" "Yeah, I remember." "So what?" "I've changed my opinion." "So you think I'm evil, Bosco?" "I'm certain of it." "Welcome to my world, Jerry." "I don't wanna be a part of your world." "You'realreadythere." "Becomewhat you're meant to become." "Fiona?" "What do you think I should do?" "Well, you can't go back to work." "Can't stay here, either." "I think it's time to see if the cat knows what he's talking about." " She's right." " I totally agree." "Well, meow to that." "Just go around killing people?" "I like people." "Aye." "Fuck the dog." "Do it for the pleasure it brings." "Comeon,Jerry." "We'llgetabiggerfridge." "Thefirstfive are always the hardest." "Don'tlistento him,Jerry."

"I got a lot going on right now." "What happened?" "Well, um, I've been crying a lot." "All the time." "And I stopped taking the drugs." "What?" "Why?" "The cat made me do it." "Your cat made you?" "Mm-hmm." "No, no, kind of." "I mean, Mr." " Mr. Whiskers does the talking, but it's really me." "See?" "I'm making progress." "It's not the cat." "I know that now." "Jerry, we had an agreement." "Iknow." "I'm sorry." "Dr. Warren, I'm a bad person." "Don'tbeso hard on yourself." "Iappreciateyourhonesty." "I'm disappointed, but, hey, it's not like you killed someone." "Um..." "What,Jerry?" "It-- uh, it is kinda like that." "Kinda like that times three." "What are you saying, Jerry?" "Three peo-- three people who aren't alive anymore because of me." " Oh, my God." " Yeah." "I know." "I feel terrible about it." "And I" " I really need your help right now." " I'll help you, Jerry." " Thank you." "Go ahead." "I'm listening." "Oh..." "Okay, you remem-- you know the conga line?" "At your company party." " Yeah." " Yeah." "Uh, everyb-- everybody sang "Happy Song."" "Andyouknow that English girl Fiona?" "Wecongaedand we were supposed to go to Shi Shan-- see an awesome show and..." "What are you doing, Dr. Warren?" " Give me that." " No!" " I'm being held!" " It was an accident!" "I liked all of them and I wish they were all alive." "But there's nothing that I can do about that now." " Do you have packing tape?" " What?" "Why?" "Because I can't let you go and I still need a lot of therapy." "No, stay there!" "You stay there now!" " Back!" "Back!" " Jerry, you're really upset right now." "Let's discuss this." " Okay." " Stay calm." "I understand." "Jerry, don't do this." " Don't do this, Jerry." "No." " Shh, shh." "It's okay." "Okay, we haven't got a lot of time, so we gotta get into the big issues." "Do you believe in God?" " Mm." " Me, too." "And I totally think that He has it out for me." "Hegives-- cuts everyone else slack and then totally craps all over me, and I wanna know why." "Why would He put a little boy in a home with a father like that, make my mother lose herself so completely that she'd rather die than be with me?" "But if He is all-knowing, then God must be okay with me killing people." "Mm-mm." "Ah, a shrink who wants to talk." "Mmm." "But if I untape you, we're gonna get on the fast road to mental health, okay?" "Hey, you start doing the silent shrink thing, and I can't predict what I'll do." " Uh..." " Now... why do I hear voices?" "Oh, a lot of people hear voices." "Or thoughts they can't stop." "A lot of people?" "Yeah." "It might be a voice telling them they're worthless or stupid or-- or it could tell them to indulge every desire-- drink that drink, take that drug, follow every sexual impulse." "Or it could be a cynical voice tellingthem nothing matters, thattheirefforts are insignificant." "You hear stuff like that?" "Yeah." "I have thoughts." "Not exactly the same as you, butsimilar." "Theytellme thatI'm fat  or psychotherapy is-- is not a worthwhile exercise, that-- that it's not real, that I should've aimed higher than a government job, that my potential is being squandered," "thatI 'munworthyof love." "But none of that's true." "So what do you do about it?" "Well, I can't shut them off entirely-- nor would I want to-- but I can argue against them." "Just because you have thoughts doesn't mean you have to act on them." "You don't have to act on them?" "No." "Being alone in the world is the root of all suffering." "But,Jerry, you'renotalone." "Whoa." "See, that's like 10 years of therapy in 10 seconds." " Where are we going?" " Home." "I gotta feed my pets." " All right, let's go." " No, no, no." "You go inside, I'll wait here and watch the road." "So that if I see him coming, I can honk the horn and warn you, and then you can run back immediately." "You're a real hero, John." "Alison?" "Ah..." "John, call the police." "Call the" "Mr. Whiskers?" " Bosco." " Oh, my God, Jerry, what have you done?" " Please be quiet." " Please be quiet." " Let me go, for God's sake." "Mr. Whiskers?" "What are you gonna do?" "I told you I don't know, already." "All right?" " Bosco!" " What are you gonna do?" " What are you going to do?" " I told you, I don't know." "My pets are missing."

"No." "No." "No." "No." "Mr. Whiskers." "That is my psychotherapist." "Great job she's doing." "You'rethepicture of mental health." " Where's Bosco?" " He got hit by a mini-van." " I'm lost without him." " Good." "Now you can kill her without all his pathetic yelping." " No, no, no." " It's okay." "It's okay." "I'm gonna just do this." "Oh, God." " Jerry?" " Yeah." " I'm scared." " She wasn't scared last week when she threatened to send you back to the loony bin." "Me, too." "Wha-- what can I do to make you more comfortable?" "Huh?" " I want to make a phone call." " She'll call the cops." " You'll call the cops." " No, no, no, I" " I" "I just don't want to be alone." "Oh, oh, oh!" "Stay right there." "Hold on." "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait..." "You don't have to be alone." "Ah, here, here, here." "Mr. Whiskers!" "Dr. Warren!" "Fiona!" "Cut it out!" " Mr. Whiskers!" "Hey." "You did the best that you could." "It's not your fault." "What are you gonna do to me?" "N-nothing." "Nothing." "It's-- it's fine." "Put me the fuck down, you goddamn psycho."
