LoveJoe...
Love[dying] We're perfect for each other. But bad... for Henry. He'll know what you are.
You gotta meet my girl, Amy. Amy, come here.
[Joe looks up; Forty's girlfriend Amy is Candace]
Hi there.
[introducing them] Will Bettelheim, Amy Adam.
Nice to meet you.
[internally] It can't be. Am I hallucinating? [shakes hands with Candace] This is her hand, this is real. Candace is here.
Will Bettelheim... What a great name. Almost sounds made up.
[internally] Is she trying to spar with me? [out loud] That's funny, I was just thinking, "Amy Adam." How totally ungoogleable.
[everyone laughs]
[internally] This is a game to her. She's enjoying this.
Love[to Candace] I'm so happy to see you again. [hugs her]
[internally] She's crazy, Love!
LoveI'm also so hungry I could eat my own hand, so let's...
Oh, no, don't worry. Just eat mine. [they laugh]
[internally] Like the kids say, "Fuck my life."
LoveYou act all pure and noble, like you have reasons for what you do when you do it. But when I do it, I'm crazy, right? I'm some manic nutjob. "But, oh, wait! Oh, wait! She's a mom now, I guess I can't slit her throat." He... is the only reason I'm alive. How do you think that makes me feel? I can't trust you.
I can't trust you either! I was trying to... Yes, yes. Yes, I did things. But I've worked hard to be better and I am not that person anymore. But now, I will be burying bodies until I'm 70 years old! Because if I'm not 100% into you all of the time, you will keep killing people!
LoveIf I'm not enough for you, you'll kill me.
[Joe, pretending to be Love, writes an email to the residents of Madre Linda. Love's voice narrates it.]
LoveFriends and neighbors... I'd like to thank you for welcoming my family with open arms, but... you didn't. I moved to the suburbs because I bought into the dream. Community, prosperity, and most of all, safety. But I never felt safe here. Judged from day one, for my past, my body, how I was raising my child. If I wasn't perfect, I would lose it all. A game so rigged, it could only exist in a world that hates women, especially mothers. But what choice did I have? So I played. And I realized your fence, your doorbell cam, you tell yourself you're keeping your family safe, but it's a lie. You're too afraid to do what you need to do to really protect your own. I am not a coward. I do what must be done to protect my family. I killed the adulterer next door. I framed the anti-vaxxer who sickened my child, hunted down the reporter who threatened us. I trapped the couple who tried to sabotage us. Forced them to really see each other. I forced my husband to play along. But in the end, he was a coward too. And when I realized he had grown to hate me, I killed him. Better than a messy divorce. Everybody keeps their dignity. When the shock wears off... and you feel safe jogging in your expensive athleisure again...
...remember, you can get off the hamster wheel at any time.
[Joe sends the email]
You just have to be willing to burn it to the ground.
