Talk to Me

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. [pause] Lock the door on your way out.

Hayley: Alright, somebody time it. As soon as she lets it in, it cannot go for more than 90 seconds. Am I clear? Mia: What happens after 90 seconds? Hayley: They'll want to stay. And if you die while they’re in you, well, they’ll have you forever.

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.

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.

Mia: [about Riley, at the hospital] Tell me he’s OK. Jade: No offence, I don’t want you here right now. Mia: Wait, Jade. Come on. Sue: Mia. Mia: Sue, I… Jade: Don’t! Sue: What are you doing here? Mia: I just… I just came to see how he was. Sue: He’s bad, Mia. He’s really fucking bad. Did you give him something? Mia: No. Sue: Come on. I know you’ve done shit before. What was it? Mia: Nothing, I swear. Sue: Look at his face. What did my son ever do to you? Mia: I… I didn’t hurt him. Sue: Go home. Now. Mia: No, please, can I just see him? Sue: You come back here, I’m gonna call the police.

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
