This song plays in the background. [Amelia stands in front of a grocery store entrance; staring. The automatic doors open and close before her as people walk in and out. A man's voiceover comes on.] "You have to confront yourself, Amelia. This is a problem. It's only going to keep getting worse if you don't at least try." "Why is this happening to me?" She responds in voiceover. "Why do I keep doing this? Am I crazy?" "No, Amelia. It's not crazy to want to control some aspect of your own life. When was the last time you made a decision all on your own? Do you remember?" "No." "And when you do this. Do you feel more at ease?" "Yes." "In control of your environment?" "Yes." "That's why you do it." [She walks into the grocery store and walks slowly, almost drifts to the canned food aisle and stares at the stacks of cans.] "I don't think I can stop." [She continues in the voiceover. Her voice is sad and desperate.] "If you want to feel more in control of your life, Amelia. You must first be in control of yourself. I want you to go, and I don't want you to touch anything. Stay for ten minutes and leave. Can you do that?" [Silence] "Amelia". "Yes, Dr. Brokvar. I can." [On screen Amelia's hands are shaking. Her eyes close and she brings her hands up to her head in distress. She gasps a small sob and opens her eyes, her hands grab wildly at the cans in front of her until they're all arranged in organized and symmetrical patterns. Customers pass by and give her looks. She flushes as a small silent tear falls from her eye. She runs out of the store.] Fade to Black |
