Get Out

“They are not racist.” & “I do not like the deer. I’m sick of it. They’re taking over. They’re like rats. They’re destroying the ecosystem. I see a dead deer on the side of the road, I think to myself, that’s a start.” & “My mother loved her kitchen, so we keep a piece of her in here.” & “By the way, I would have voted for Obama for a third term if I could. Best president in my lifetime. Hands down.” & “Oh, my God. And then my dad with the “my man” stuff. “My man, my man.” I don’t think he’s ever heard or said it. And now he just… It’s all he says.” & “Do you realize how dangerous smoking is? Yeah. Come in and sit with me. Please? Just for a little while. Please. Thank you. So you’re comfortable enough, right? It’s perfect. Thanks. Sure. You wanna know how it works? You just dangle a pocket watch in front of people’s faces? Is that it? You watch a lot of TV. When I was a kid. Uh… Now you’re feeling very sleepy. We do use focal points sometimes to guide someone into a state of heightened suggestibility. “Heightened suggestibility.” That’s right. That’s right. Do you smoke in front of my daughter? I’m gonna quit. I promise. That’s my kid. That is my kid. You understand? What about your mother? What about her? Wait, are we… Where were you when she died? I don’t want to think about that. Home. Watching TV. Do you hear the TV? What do you hear? Rain. Rain. It was raining. Hmm. You hear the rain? Mmm-hmm. You hear it? Find it. Tell me when you’ve found it. Come here, Chris. Look at me. I found it. Where was your mom? She, uh… She was coming home and she wasn’t home. From work? Mmm-hmm. Mmm. And… What do you do? Nothing. Nothing. I just sat there. You didn’t call anyone? No. Why not? I don’t know. I just… Thought that if I did, it would make it real. Hmm. You’re so scared. You think it was your fault. How do you feel now? I can’t move. You can’t move. Why can’t I move? You’re paralyzed. Just like that day when you did nothing. You did nothing. Now, sink into the floor. Wait, wait, wait. Sink. Now you’re in the Sunken Place.” & “But it’s Rose’s mom’s a psychiatrist, so… Bruh, I don’t care if the bitch is Iyanla Vanzant, okay? She can’t fix my motherfuckin’ life. You ain’t gettin’ in my head.” & “All I know is sometimes if there’s too many white people, I get nervous, you know? Oh. Oh. No. No. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Aren’t you something? That’s not my experience. Not at all. The Armitages are so good to us. They treat us like family. This bitch is crazy. The bitch is crazy.” & “Get out. Sorry, man. Get out! Yo! Yo, chill man. Get out! Get outta here! Get outta here! Get the fuck outta here!” & “Rose… I don’t know where they are. Rose? Rose! Rose, gimme those keys! Rose, give me… Give me those keys. Rose, now! Now, the keys! What the fuck is going on? Where are those keys, Rose? You know I can’t give you the keys, right, babe?” & “Why us, huh? Why Black people?” & “How’d you find me? I’m T-S-motherfuckin’-A. We handle shit. That’s what we do. Consider this situation fuckin’ handled.”
