Hey.
Listen.
I think someone's watching us.
What do you want?
I—I got this from someone when I was
walking home one day
A-a-and I’m umm I’m i’m here for for this.
Yes.
They still have those out there?
Alright. Come on in.
Just take a seat, right there.
He’ll
probably show up soon.
So! You’re the guy.
Wait. What is this? Is it nicotine?
Come on give it to me.
So tell me. You are?
What?
Your name!
Stupid.
It's Elbert.
So. Here's the thing.
Nicotine is not the best drug in the world.
Do you want to know what is?
Well.
It's happiness.
Well, it’s dopamine, actually, but -
those are the same thing, right?
Right.
(whistles Twinkel Twinkle Little Star)
What's this?
Shhh
It’s what you came here for, isn't it?
Well
Another guy to fall victim.
What?
Nothing.
So what do you think? Am I more of a psychiatrist? Or a nurse?
Wha-what?
Where am I?
A nurse?
Yeah. Wilbert said that about me too.
Wh- what?
Babe. Seriously.
Don't mess around.

Who are you?
Look I know that you don’t like it when I call
you babe.
But we’re dating now.

You said you need some space so here I am.
Hey babe I'm sorry today this,
it's not you. It's me.
I want to break up.
Break up?
Break what up?
I have nothing to break.
A stick?
No baby. No.
I don't like you anymore.
Yes I know, but you love me right?
Yes baby. I love you.
Now close your eyes.
And imagine.
Imagine the stars.
I don'y see anything.
When I was in high school, I dated a girl named Allison
What happened to Allison?
I don't know.
Maybe she's married.
She told me once she wanted to be a dermatologist.
I don't know.
I haven't seen her
You're real!
I am.
You're real! You're real!
I'm sorry man. But this is our life now.
Look around.
This is happiness.
How can you say that?
It's all smiles and laughters and good times
But none of this is real!
It's emptiness!
I've tried many times.
There's no way out!
Accept it.
But this isn't real!
Who cares!
Back in our world, my family treated me like shit.
I didn't sleep.
You have a girlfriend. A nice house.
Who cares if this isn't real?
No no no no.
It matters to me okay.
I wasn't happy at home as well.
But at least the ground beneath my feet was real.
This is freaking me out man!
Whachu gonna do?
He--
He told me to say a word!
It doesn't work.
He told me to say Plato.
Pla-
Well.
Hello.
So, you're probably confused right now.
Well. Let me elaborate.
So you have been here for
8 days, 15 hours, 24 minutes and 17, 18 , 19 , 20
Okay you know what it is.
So.
This chord right here
is your life support.
Well I wonder what if I do this
well look at this.
I saw it.
I saw him.
I saw him and the sky.
And it was real.
He cut the cord.
Yes! But the word worked.
PLATO!
Why isn't it working?
PLATO!
PLATO!!!!
This isn't real.
This isn't real.
This isn't real!!!
Hey!!!
HEY!!!

Pity.
