I got the letter. Thanks.
Fiona Oh my God. I'd forgotten.
You forgot? You forgot a suicide letter?
Fiona Well I didn't think I'd have to remember it, did I? Did you read the part where I said I'd always love you?
It's a bit hard for you to love me when you're dead, isn't it?
Fiona I can understand why you're angry, Marcus. But I don't feel the same as I did yesterday, if it's any help.
What? It's all gone away? All that?
Fiona No, but, for the moment, I feel better.
The moment's no good for me. I can see you feel better at the moment. You just put the kettle on. What happens when you finish your tea? What happens when I go back to school? I can't be here to watch you all the time!
It's a CD, Marcus, by Mystikal. They're cool. You'll like them.
Fiona What kind of music is Mystikal?
It's sort of, um, world music . . .
[reads a song title]
"Shake Ya Ass."
Fiona You cannot stop someone from expressing themselves.
He's not expressing himself! He's expressing you, okay?
Fiona [Fiona is crying]
Will, am I a bad mother?
No. No, you're not a bad mother. You're just a barking lunatic.
Fiona [Fiona is crying]
I mean, he's a special – very, very special boy and he's got a special soul, and I've wounded it.
Oh, please, just shut up. You're wounding my soul.
Fiona [to Will]
You're a selfish bastard.
Fiona [to Marcus]
When you sing, it brings sunshine and happiness into my heart.
