[to Charles] Remember what I told you? About the secret place where I was born? It's right over there across the bridge. Its full of music and candles everywhere you look...and the people...they're like a family.
They won't accept a freak!
There are no freaks here.
You're different.
Like you.
No. No, your face is good. Not like me, Vincent.
Devin, even when you were a small boy, I could always count on you to make life interesting. Nonetheless, it's good to have you home.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..."
That pretty well describes it, doesn't it?
Our childhood?
My life...This used to be my favorite book.
On Tuesdays, anyway.
"Consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds."
This place brings back a lot of memories.
It should...you lived here half your life.
Things are different. You moved things around.
You left...Things change, Devin. Years pass.
People change, too.
Some people...sometimes.
When I walk the city streets, I wear a cloak with a hood to shadow my face.
But your face is-
A mirror, like yours. Where frightened men see the shape of their own fears, and small men see only ugliness.
Do you forget to hide?
I do not hide my face here. This is my home.
My home?
If you want it to be.
A life is measured by more than just years. A life in a cage...is no life at all.
When I was young, I only knew these tunnels. I would hear the other children talk about the world Above and all its wonders. I wanted to see them too. So one night, Devin took me up to the park. The lights went on forever and the night was full of sounds and smells and music, so much so that it made me dizzy. When I looked up ...
Was it an airplane?
No. It was the moon. It was the most magical thing I had ever seen. I was afraid that if I looked away for a second that it would vanish and I would never see it again.
Where will they go?
To the mountains to begin. A place far away from people Devin says. Where Charles can feel the sunlight on his face and learn not to be afraid...a place to heal, to grow, to feel human. Somewhere ...
... south of Oz and north of Shangri-La.
