jesus, this grass is something else.
hey, get off his back.
goddam!
what the hell .  ?
god almighty!
good god! what's happening?
they're coming!
jacob singer?
paul gruneger!
a long time.
nothin' much.
i need to see you, jake.
i need to see you.
i work in a bakery.
count 'em on one hand.
no joke. fuckin' army! that goddamn war. i'm still fightin' it.
you tellin' me? how many times can you die, huh?
still married, jake?
you and everybody else. god i hate this area. makes me nervous.
i just need to talk.
i'm not sure where i can talk anymore.
let's get a couple drinks, okay? hey, take a look behind us. do you think that car is followin' us?
pull the mirror down on the sun visor. just watch 'em.
i don't know.
yeah.
somethin's wrong, jake. i don't know what it is but i can't talk to anybody about it. i figured i could with you. you always used to listen, you know?
i'm going to hell!
that's as straight as i can put it. and don't tell me that i'm crazy 'cause i know i'm not. i'm goin' to hell. they're comin' after me.
they've been followin' me. they're comin' outta the walls. i don't trust anyone. i'm not even sure i trust you. but i gotta talk to someone. i'm gonna fly outta my fuckin' mind.
sorry. sometimes i think i'm just gonna jump outta my skin. they're just drivin' me wild.
i don't know who they are, or what they are. but they're gonna get me and i'm scared, jake. i'm so scared i can't do anything. i can't go to my sisters. i can't even go home.
they're waitin' for me, that's why.
i can't stop it. i try. oh god! help me jake.
i don't know what to do.
what do you mean?
you've seen them?
god almighty. i thought i was the only one.
oh god. i know. i know.
they keep telling me i'm already dead, that they're gonna tear me apart, piece by piece, and throw me into the fire. i carry these everywhere but they don't help. nothing helps. everyone thinks i'm crazy. my mother filed a report with the army.
she said i haven't been the same since then. since that night. there's still this big hole in my brain. it's so dark in there, jake. and these creatures. it's like they're crawling out of my brain. what happened that night? why won't they tell us?
they're monsters, jake. we're both seein' 'em. there's gotta be a connection. something.
i'm afraid to go by myself anymore. i keep thinkin' one of 'em's gonna come up behind me. somethin's wrong when a guy can't even take a leak by himself. i've seen 'em take people right off the street. i used to go home a different way every night. now i can't even go home.
what about your girlfriend? you don't think she'll mind?
merry christmas.
wow! do you think we have a chance?
