Talk to Me

Questioning the Use of the Hand

Mia OK. Um… What if I use the hand to speak to him?

Jade No.

Mia What?

Jade He’s not dead, Mi.

Mia But what if his spirit is disconnected from his body? I thought these spirits were in limbo. Maybe that’s where Riley is.

Jade Might not be him.

Mia What if it is?

Jade What if it isn’t?

Daniel This is a bad idea, Mia.

Jade Mia. Mia, don’t.

Mia Riley, 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.

Conflict Over Decisions Among Friends

Mia Jade! Jade, just wait! Jade!

Jade You shouldn’t have let him do it, Mia!

Mia We all decided it’d be OK.

Hayley We didn’t decide anything.

Mia We did. We all said…

Hayley We didn’t say shit, Mia. That was you. You let it go for two fucking minutes.

Jade You sleep with my boyfriend. What the fuck’s wrong with you?

Daniel Jade, it wasn’t like that.

Jade Of course you take her side.

Mia Jesus…

Jade I wish that you didn’t force yourself into my family, Mia.

An Unexpected Reunion Between Friends

Sue Mia.

Mia I’m… I’m sorry.

Sue No, it’s OK. Sit. I was wondering when I’d see you again. You haven’t come.

Mia You told me not to.

Sue I know. I was mad.

Mia You had every right to be. Still do.

Sue No, I don’t. There were no drugs, Mia. He had a breakdown. I just… I just… couldn’t face that. I’m so sorry that I blamed you. I know that you wouldn’t do anything to hurt him.

[sighs]

Mia I love you guys.

Sue You’re not Riley’s friend, Mia you’re his family. It’d mean so much to him that you were here.

Mia Can I have a minute with him? Alone.

Sue Of course.

A Difficult Conversation About Loss

Riley How did your mum die?

Mia You know.

Riley Only bits.

Mia She… took too many sleeping pills. By accident. Dad was sleeping on the couch. In the morning, he couldn’t open the door.

Riley Mm. Why?

Mia Mum was on the other side. And there were scratches on the door and wood under her nails. She tried to get help, but she couldn’t.

Riley Jade said you got depression after.

Mia I was just feeling alone.

Riley No, you can’t ever be alone ’cause you’ll always have me and Jade.

Mia Yeah. It’s OK, I don’t feel alone anymore.

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?

Fear and Nightmares in Conversation

Mia Did the hand thing scare you?

Riley A bit.

Mia You going to have nightmares, Riley?

Riley I don't get nightmares.

Mia I do.

Riley Like what?

Mia I have this recurring nightmare… where… I’m looking in the mirror and my reflection is gone. Like I don’t exist.

Riley What did the hand feel like?

Mia Mmm… It felt amazing. I felt like I was glowing. I could hear and see and feel everything. But I was in the passenger seat. It felt incredible.

Time Limit for Calling Spirits Explained

Hayley Alright, somebody time it. As soon as she lets it in, it cannot go for more than 90 seconds. Am I clear?

Hayley They'll want to stay. And if you die while they’re in you, well, they’ll have you forever.

Talk to Me

Determined to Save a Loved One

Jade Hey.

[on phone]

Mia Jade?

Jade You OK?

Mia I know what to do. We can save him.

Jade You know, I actually think he’s getting better. He woke up for a second. It’s like he was himself again.

[sighs]

Mia I’ve seen him, Jade. He’s in pain. And every second is agony for him. Just come to mine. And I’ll show you.

Jade Show me what?

Mia You just have to be here, Jade. Please. Just trust me.

Jade Oh, shit. OK. I’ll be there in 10.

Talk to Me

Uncertainty Surrounds a Simple Action

Mia Um… Did we blow the candle out?

[tearfully]

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

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.

Suspicion Between Friends Over Late-Night Plans

Jade You going to bed?

Sue You sneaking out?

Jade Why do you always think I'm sneaking out or sleeping around?

Sue Because you only ask if I'm going to bed when you're sneaking out? Is it to see Daniel?

Jade You know, even if it was, he's ultra-Christian. He doesn't do anything ever.

Sue He's still got a dick, Jade. Is it him you’re sneaking out to see?

Jade I’m not sneaking out!

Sue OK. God. Night. Lock the door on your way out.
