The sound of a train can be the saddest sound in the world.

Other times, it sounds like freedom.

I met this young, like high school girl today.

She was like, spying on me,

hiding behind some bushes with binoculars.

OK.

Yeah and when it's obvious that I see her,

because, you know, I'm staring at her,

she just waves and keeps on watching me for a minute.

And then she walks up to me

and says hi and that she just moved here,

and that her name is Christina.

That's weird.

I mean I hardly got to say anything back to her.

She just ran off and said she would be back tomorrow.

And you believe her?

I don't know. I mean...

I kind of felt like I knew her.

Why don't you ever look at me?

Maybe I'm looking when you're not looking.

I like it when you look at me.

The further away he is, the further away her mind goes.

My father taught me how to walk.

She taught me how to pray.

She says the world will be against me,

that my best friends will be sinners,

but that I can never give up.

And she never gave up.

Until now.

What's wrong with your mom?

My dad died.

I'm sorry.

Do you miss him?

No.

When did he die?

Today.

Five hours ago.

Do you feel anything yet?

I ask that you watch over my mother's soul.

I ask that you watch over my dad.

Guide his soul to a good place.

I ask that you watch over the world better.

What exactly is an Indigo?

We're orphan souls.

And we belong to no one.

We're very smart and intelligent.

We're very powerful.

We tend to end up close to each other just by chance.

You know.

I think you're special.

I think you'll do great things.

Thanks.

You too.

I talk a lot.

When I'm first starting to bond with someone.

I calm down, but...

it's just good to know.

Is that what we're doing? We're bonding?

Something like that.

My mom,

she loved my father so much.

It's not always good.

When it got real bad,

she'd scream in the middle of the night.

She'd fall out of bed dreaming about him.

Wake up on the floor and cry out his name.

I don't want a love like that.

In this weird dream I have,

she drags her own body into the same dirt

from which he rose.

Pretends to look into his eyes and she smiles,

thinking that just maybe

things will work this time around.

That he'll be waiting.

She closes her eyes and she prays.

Then I wake up.

I don't know if this one works, though.

It's kind of rusty.

I like the rusty one.

What's under the picnic blanket there?

Another one.

I think it's broken, though.

I think this one's his favorite.

Have you driven one?

Yeah.

Like you drove it, you didn't just ride on it?

Well yeah, but my uncle was on the back.

Wow.

Cool.

Did you crash?

Obviously not.

I mean, a little.

I mean I didn't, but...

I was scared...

that I might.

This one's cool.

You can't touch it.

Says who?

Me.

- Not even like one... - No, don't.

What's that?

- What? - Nothing.

I saw you.

My uncle hasn't been home much lately.

I have the whole place to myself.

I hate it.

You wanna go in there?

Be alone?

Not really.

Not now.

I moved here because...

my house burned down in Pennsylvania.

The strange thing is,

I still think about like,

how it was cool.

Watching it burn.

I watched until it like almost completely went out.

Fire and smoke have this way of ending things.

Like clearing us up so we can keep going.

My brother was away,

and when he comes back he like,

owes some dealers.

And they put these rocks in little towels

and dipped them in gasoline,

and they lit them...

and threw one through each window.

And by the time the fire had started,

they were out of sight.

The police threw me and my mom in jail

because they thought we'd started it.

Then they realized we had no insurance so...

there was no motive.

I like how your hands are soft.

Like a girl's.

Ever been in a fight?

Come on. Are you sure?

Yeah, I'll catch you.

I can tell you're an Indigo.

By your eyes.

They're clear.

And like...

I bet you have a good memory, too.

Ever notice that moss?

Like, how's it get there?

I kind of wish my whole roof was covered by it.

I'm jealous.

That stuff.

It falls from the trees after a storm,

and my uncle gathers it all together...

and then when there's like,

enough fog,

or like moisture in the air,

he lights it on fire.

I don't know what he's waiting for, really.

It'll be great.

Hey.

Can you move over here with me?

Live downstairs with me, I mean this shit is all ours, you know?

We can have a wedding style in the house.

You never even told me you loved me.

Well, I think I do.

Yeah, I'm talking about starting a family with you.

Oh, no love, no ring,

no thanks.

OK.

OK.

What about we get you a ring, huh?

How about we get you a ring, then we'll get you a wedding.

How about if you just shut up and fuck me and then maybe I'll think about it?

Tell Armand you love him.

You can't record that.

It's too permanent.

Have I ever told you how my parents met?

No, that sounds like a good one.

Shoot.

They were both aboard an airplane,

and they're sitting next to each other.

My mother was in the window seat.

And they were on their way to Madrid,

because they were both going there for the first time,

just out of chance.

And the airplane starts to have turbulence

and it starts to shake...

and everybody on board starts screaming

and people start grabbing onto each other.

And then my parents ended up grabbing onto-

I think my dad grabbed her thigh or something weird like that.

And...

something awkward enough that...

the ambulance, the plane just stopped.

Like it wouldn't normally.

And my dad was just grabbing onto my mother's inner thigh

and it was just...

really awkward.

Because they all thought they were gonna die.

It was just weird.

That's true?

Why would've I just said that?

I don't know.

Did one of them tell you that?

I can't even hear you anymore.

Can you turn it off?

Please?

Where you goin'?

Hey Ma, can I come with you?

Are you coming down?

Where we going?

This thing usually works,

but it's been sort of faulty lately.

So you have you like...

Ever had any pets?

No.

I had a dog.

I used to walk it like, every day.

We'd have to buy a new leash like once a month.

It'd just bite on it and chew

until it broke free for a little bit.

One time it just bit through it

and just never came back.

You're strange.

Hey.

Hey, what are you doing? Where are you going?

Hey, Christina!

Hi.

I think it's time you got goin'.

I can't sleep with you here tonight, all right?

Open the door.

Come on.

I can't.

And I picture her in my head,

and somehow I know I'll do this...

every now and then.

I'll see her in my mind.

For the rest of my life.

I ask that you watch over Christina's soul.

I feel so weird asking you about this, but...

the other night...

you and her.

I followed you.

I'm sorry, I...

I saw her, she's pretty.

But I thought we were like...

together.

It's OK.

But...

I don't like her.

You don't have to be with me,

it just has to be another Indigo.

Did you have sex?

Good.

I believe you.

You're so quiet.

Like...

far away.

You kind of almost tricked me into thinking...

you want anything from this place.

Fire and smoke are so beautiful.

Call it.

Heads.

I get this one, it's crushed.

OK?

Sometimes...

the trains...

they carry these containers,

and...

sometimes when there's a lot on it,

they go a lot slower, the trains,

and it looks like you could just jump on them and be gone.

It's good to know.

Every time a train passes these tracks, I think about it.

Where's it go?

I don't know.

The city.

Where everything goes eventually.

Right on time.

Come on!

OK.

Wait.

I told you.

Stop.

I told you.

I told you.

What?

Not until we get married.

Or at least, until I know I love you.

It's better that way.

This was my dad's.

I remember when he left.

My mom, you know,

she was throwing all of his stuff out of the house...

in a big pile.

She called Salvation Army,

and they just started to, you know,

take it all away, piece by piece.

I grabbed this.

My mom went inside and I grabbed it

when no one was looking.

I always kind of liked it.

This is the only thing I really have...

that used to be his, you know?

It's all that's left of him.

An ashtray.

I love this house.

Figures.

I always stop here after running,

for like a half an hour or so.

I hear some of the families in the neighborhood are trying to sue him.

They say he's bringing down the value of the property.

Well, they have a point.

I kind of like the way it looks.

Get back here!

Some people think that...

indigos will eventually take over...

and cover the earth, like air and water.

But I feel like we're in danger.

We're too sensitive.

We like, carry around pain.

Like store it up.

The world of the future will be full of numbness, anyway.

That's something I'm 92% sure of.

They say that guy never comes out of his house.

I'd like to meet him.

Why?

I don't know.

'Cause no one ever does.

Why not?

I don't know.

I think you just like it 'cause it's purple.

Well, that too, but...

I mean,

who paints their house purple?

Like he has to be kind of interesting or something.

Well, there's nothing stopping you.

Why don't you just go meet him?

I don't know, I'm just...

- I guess... - Put your money where your mouth is.

a bit shy.

I don't even know if he'll talk to me.

You'll never know unless you try.

Well, maybe I will.

Goodnight.

Hey... Can I come in?

My uncle's home.

Can I meet him?

Yeah.

Some other time.

After I meet your mom.

Goodnight.

I just want to talk!

Should I come back tomorrow?

I just wanna meet you,

and say hello.

We're neighbors.

I'll be back tomorrow.

When I was eight,

I came home early from school one day.

Half day or something.

And the front door was unlocked.

When I walked in, I heard my dad laughing upstairs

so I, you know, went up there to see what was up.

The fucker cheated, huh?

He was...

he was lying in bed with some...

some guy I've never seen before.

They weren't wearing any clothes.

They were under the covers and shit and...

And they were just laughing.

You know, they were just...

there was some funny on TV or something

and they were just laughing their heads off.

I think that was the happiest I'd ever seen him.

Man, life will take everything you ever loved,

anything that means anything,

and then they lie you down on the ground,

you get eaten by fucking more maggots.

All right, so my mom, right?

She sees this one dude,

he pays for the bills and shit.

The guys my father and I've never met him.

Shit.

I feel like I never really met my dad either, man.

It's the same thing, you know, I...

I mean he was around but he was always at work, you know?

I never really got to see him.

And then...

Then one day he just left, you know?

He kept sending us some money and everything, but...

And then he just died.

You know? Just one day he's just dead.

Like that, you know?

Turn that thing off.

Go.

I think I love you.

What?

Say that again.

I love you.

I don't believe you.

Come on, Jenny, I'm gonna sit here

and tell you I love you and you're gonna call me a liar?

I'm sorry.

Are you sure?

Pretty sure.

Like, 81%.

Where do you wanna do it?

Your house?

My uncle's home.

Where then?

I don't know.

It's supposed to really hurt the first time so you have to be gentle.

I'll be careful.

Not careful.

Gentle.

I don't need you being careful.

OK.

I mean, I wanna do everything slow.

Me too.

You feel up to it?

Yeah, I guess.

This is important.

This is what this means.

"I guess" isn't good enough.

Don't let me lose her.

Help me to hold onto her.

She's the only good thing I have right now.

I want to help her grow.

I want to be there.

Give me the strength to love her.

But help me to exist without her if we do have to part.

I feel a certain evil around me lately.

Strange.

Help me to fight against it.

Help me to understand it.

My uncle's in Pennsylvania right now.

Paying for my grandpa's funeral.

He put it in his will that he'd only go to a funeral

if it would be a party.

The crazy thing is he's not even dead yet.

It's cheaper if you pay in advance.

Doctors give him a month, tops.

It was tough, though.

Finding a funeral home that would agree to a party.

A band and a DJ there and stuff.

A bar.

It's all in his will.

What if no one shows up?

I don't want to think about that.

But I guess the band will keep playing to nobody.

When I die, I want to be cremated.

Beaten down.

Ground into dust.

And then mixed in with some soil.

I'd have a fruit tree planted with the soil.

That's what I want.

It's good to know.

Let's get outta here.

The sound of a train can be the saddest sound in the world.

Other times, it sounds like freedom.

And other times, it sounds like a blend of the two,

and it's not really clear which direction you're heading in.

I can't be here.

Have I ever told you how my parents met?

No, that sounds like a good one.

Shoot.

They were both aboard an airplane,

and they're sitting next to each other.

My mother was in the window seat.

And they were on their way to Madrid,

because they were both going there for the first time,

just...

out of chance.

And the airplane starts to have turbulence...

and it starts to shake...

and everybody on board starts screaming

and people start grabbing onto each other.

And then my parents ended up grabbing onto-

I think my dad grabbed her thigh

or something weird like that.

And...

Something awkward enough that...

the ambulance, the plane just stopped.

Like it wouldn't normally.

And my dad was just grabbing onto my mother's inner thigh

and it was just...

really awkward.

Because they all thought they were gonna die.

It was just weird.

That's true?

Why would've I just said that?

I don't know.

Did one of them tell you that?

I can't even hear you anymore.

Can you turn it off?

I think I love you.

What?

Say that again.

I love you.

Most of us die young.

Some get old and...

lost.

Or grow mad.

I shouldn't have let Mark go.

I lied to him, you know.

I lied about all kinds of stuff.

I don't know.

I feel bad.

I don't even know what they are.

I heard the term somewhere and I just made it all up.

And I've been living alone now for a month.

I don't know where my uncle is.

I think he comes back soon.
