Talk to Me - Uncertainty Surrounds a Simple Action
Mia: [tearfully]
Um… Did we blow the candle out?
Joss:
I don’t remember.
Mia:
What if we opened the door but we didn’t shut it?
Joss:
What are you saying?
Mia:
We do it again with Riley but blow out the candle this time.
Jade:
You want him to do it again? The thing that put him in hospital?
Mia:
You wanna save him?
Jade:
Don’t fucking ask me that.
Mia:
We have to do something, Jade!

Talk to Me - Struggling with Loss and Responsibility
Joss:
Look, bruz, I know it’s a shit time for you, but we need your help.
Cole:
Nah, man, I’m out.
Jade:
Cole. I know how much it hurts to lose someone that close.
Cole:
The people he let in messed up his head. If he’d stopped doing that fucking thing, they would’ve left.
Jade:
My little brother’s in hospital. He went way over.
Cole:
You let a kid do it? His body should kick ’em out. They get weaker the longer they’re in.
Jade:
It hasn’t.
Cole:
Give it time.
Jade:
They’re killing him.
Cole:
Maybe it’s time you stop fucking up people’s lives, Joss. What do you reckon?

Talk to Me - Questioning Responsibility and Evidence in Crisis
Hayley:
Who showed the police the video?
Daniel:
Think it was James.
Hayley:
Least it proves we didn’t touch him. Police said there’s not a lot they can do.
Daniel:
Has it ever lasted this long?
Joss:
No. But we’ve never been over 90 seconds before Mia, so… How is he?
Jade:
Every time he comes to, he tries to kill himself.
Joss:
They wanna keep him.
Jade:
What?
Joss:
The guy who gave Duckett the hand said that if you die while they’re in you, they have you forever. Have any of you guys… still been seeing stuff?
Hayley:
What the fuck you mean, “seeing stuff”?
Mia:
I saw my mum at the hospital.
Jade:
And another one attacked Daniel at my house.
Hayley:
Did you see something?
Daniel:
Uh… not exactly.
Joss:
What’s that supposed to mean, Daniel?
Daniel:
I woke up and Mia was, I don't know, sucking my feet.
Jade:
What the fuck?
Mia:
Jade.
Jade:
What do you mean, “woke up with Mia”? What do you mean, “sucking your feet”?
Mia:
It wasn’t me. I couldn’t go home.
Joss:
None of us have been seeing shit. We all did it. We were all there. Why would you see your mum? You didn’t even let her in.
Hayley:
Wait, didn’t Duckett say they could imitate people?
Mia:
Wait, who’s Duckett?
Joss:
I got the hand off him. He, uh… I met him twice at some parties and… yeah, we did the hand shit, I asked if I could borrow it and he said I could keep it. He said he was seeing them without it.
Hayley:
And then he went full skitz. Stabbed his brother, then killed himself.

Talk to Me - Critique of Cultural Practices and Beliefs
Joss:
Apparently, it was the hand of someone who could connect with the dead, right, so everyone around him thought, let's just cut his hand off. White people shit man. I tell you.
