Did you hear me? Peter, Wendy, breakfast! Kids, you'll be late for school! Peter? Wendy? I don't want any breakfast, Mom. Come with me, Peter. Peter, come here. Sit and eat. -I don't want any, Mom. Please; I'm asking you. -I'm not hungry. In that case, I'm hungry. You're not eating either? Hernando, what was that? God only knows. Do you know, Cora... Our Tom would have turned forty today. Just imagine. We're sitting here, just like we are now, And suddenly a car stops by the road. And out comes... Who do you think? Our Tom. Tall. Handsome. Alive. He smiles and runs to us, And we're laughing and crying with joy. And then, late in the evening, We've set a table, we're celebrating. Drinking strong old wine. Drinking to Tom's birthday. And in the morning, he takes us far, far away. To some forgotten island Where no-one lives, only you, me and Tom. And summer never ends. Never! It can never happen! Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! -Cora, forgive an old fool. I'll stop. I'll stop thinking about our Tom. Cora, come on... So, little guy. You keep running. What for? Relax. It's alright. It's alright. Don't worry, he's impossible to understand. He's my favorite. I call him Gandhi. Complete disintegration of speech logic. Says everything backwards. Funny, no? The only trouble is, he keeps trying to escape. Say, you don't look too well. Is something the matter? Come on, speak up. You didn't just come here to do rounds. I'd like you to take a look at our nursery. -What's wrong with it? -No idea. What is that, Dave? I've seen something like it this morning. This morning? Michael, you're living in a fantasy land. This has been going on for almost a year. Like the good book said: "And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, "And came out of the graves, and appeared unto many." What do you mean, saints. -Here's what I mean. Those things you see, they're not people. What are they? -Who knows. They appear to the living Looking like their dead friends or loved ones. And live with them. -Are you out of your mind? Me? Why? -The dead stay dead. These people from the quarantine services, They seem to think so. -And you don't think so? Maybe. Who was it that said: "Man is miserable because he is mortal." That must be the greatest form of insanity. The pursuit of happiness. You've got a regular zoo here. -Something like that. This morning I locked the nursery, but the kids still got in. Though maybe that's for the best, so you can see what they've been doing. Kill! Kill them! Why aren't you at school? What are you doing in the nursery? I locked it! Alright, we'll talk about this later, right now, get out of here! No, don't change the mental combination. Leave the walls as they are. Go. That's how we live now. Cheerful. -Just like my clinic. They look real, don't they? You don't suppose there's any way they could become real? Some flaw in the machinery, through tampering or something... -That's insane. What is this? -An old wallet of mine. I found it here like this. Why is there blood on it? -That's what I wanted to ask you. Michael, I'm a psychiatrist, not a criminologist. Seriously, though, I think your children are just playing a mean prank. Poked three holes with a nail and added a little paint. What if this isn't paint? -Then what? Let's get out of here. I can't stand these rooms. What is this? That's Linda's scarf. Why the long face? Cheer up, Michael. Everybody's mad about these rooms now. And if it's everybody, that means it's nobody. It's pointless to look for reason where there's none to be found. Linda, open the door. Linda! Linda. Hernando, Hernando. -I'm here. I was scared, I thought you were dead. Now, how could I die without you? -Don't you forget. You know what your memory's like. I dreamt of our Tom. He was standing in the road. So small and helpless. All around it was ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Зелёный слоник на английском - текст Двое - это слишком на английском - текст Возвращение на английском - текст В порту на английском - текст Женя, Женечка и "Катюша" на английском |
