is something wrong with my poop?
i didn't! what's wrong with me?! a cellphone rings in the other room.
but, mommy -- adele runs into --
daddy, my poop is green. caden enters the bathroom, looks into the bowl at the green feces and smeared toilet paper. he seems freaked out.
am i going to be okay?
did you have green poop when you were little?
mom!
everything's alive. everything grows big. that's how you know. olive enters.
i want peanut butter and jelly.
can i watch tv till school? caden clicks the remote for olive and goes back to his paper. a cartoon cow talks to a cartoon sheep.
mommy, daddy has blood.
did you have to get a shot, daddy?
do i have to get a shot?
a million years?
no.
like to smoke out of?
every-single-where?
i don't want blood. i have blood?
what's wrong with your face, daddy?
i don't know what that means.
you could have both though.
okay, pretend we're fairies. i'm a girl fairy and my name is .  la-ru. lee. and you're a boy fairy and your name is teeteree.
what's my name again?
no. i said .  la-ru-la. ay.
pretend we fight each other. and i say stop hitting me or i'll die. and you say okay, but you're fibbing. and you hit me again.
okay. let's go. hit me. they pretend to hit each other. olive makes hissing and roaring noises. she stops.
okay. you have to stop hitting me now or i will die.
no! pretend you're fibbing! remember? he mock hits her again. she falls.
now i have to die.
but i have to.
i have to. and you'll have to wait a million years to see me again. caden tears up at this and tries to conceal it.
and i'll be put in a box. and all i'll need is a tiny glass of water. and lots of -- tiny pieces of pizza. and the box will have wings, like an airplane.
maria, would you leave us? maria kisses olive again on the forehead.
forgive me but no longer remember english. speak german?
i'm dying, as i'm sure maria told you. the flower tattoos have become infected and they're dying. so i am, as well. this is life. olive pulls down her hospital gown a bit to show caden the now sickly and decayed flower tattoos.
maria gave me reason to live once you left. the flowers defined me.
you did something. caden is affected by this. it resonates.
i want to talk to you about your homosexuality.
maria said you would deny it.
i had the same struggle when i first fell in love with maria and we began to have dirty, aching sex.
of course. she introduced me to myself. to my vagina and to hers.
i need to forgive you before i die, but i can't forgive someone who has not asked for forgiveness.
i have no time! i need you to ask for forgiveness!
for what?
"for abandoning you to have anal sex with my homosexual lover eric."
no. no, i'm sorry, i cannot. olive dies. dead flower petals slip from her hospital gown. caden sits there. maria hurries rushes to olive's side.
