Phantasmagoria 2: A Puzzle of Flesh (1996 Video Game)

Monique Parent: Jocilyn

Quotes 

• Jocilyn Rowan : Are you alright, Curtis? You're acting really weird.

  Curtis Craig : Oh geez, I'm sorry, Joce! I guess finding disembowled dead guys in my cubicle just throws me right the fuck off!

• [Curtis hears a knock on the door] 

  Curtis Craig : Who's there?

  Jocilyn Rowan : It's me, Curtis. Jocilyn.

  [Curtis opens the door. Jocilyn enters, looks sad and worried. They hug, pressing their foreheads. Jocilyn kisses Curtis on his forehead. They sit on the sofa. Curtis takes off his glasses] 

  Jocilyn Rowan : God, Curtis, I... I just feel like the whole world is coming apart. You know, I... I liked Tom. I really did. I miss him. Nice guy, you know.

  Curtis Craig : I know, Joce. I know. I liked him, too. It just doesn't make any sense.

  Jocilyn Rowan : Curtis... can we go away for the weekend? I just... really need to get away from all this. I...

  Curtis Craig : I'd like to, Joce. I really would. I... it just that I've got some really important things to do.

  Jocilyn Rowan : [offended]  Damn it, Curtis. Why can't you ever talk with me about anything what really matters?

  Curtis Craig : Joce, I...

  Jocilyn Rowan : You know, it might be wrong in face of everything that just happened, right now, I just really need to feel you inside me.

  [Curtis removes Jocilyn's hairpin and places it on the table. They embrace and kiss passionately. As Jocilyn takes off Curtis' shirt, she is shocked to see the scars on his body - the result of his savage sexual experience with Therese. Curtis notices the shocked expression on Jocilyn's face, looks down, and realizes that she understood he had sex with another woman. Jocilyn backs off, hurt and disgusted] 

  Curtis Craig : Jesus... Jocilyn, I...

  Jocilyn Rowan : Shut up!

  Curtis Craig : Jocilyn, I...

  Jocilyn Rowan : [deeply hurt]  Just shut up! You son of a bitch... just come back to your filthy whore. You two can have each other!

  [Jocilyn storms outside with tears] 

• [wandering at the alien dimension, Curtis sees strange human-shaped thing covered with layers of alien material, only one eye is visible. Curtis realizes that this is the real Curtis, the one who Paul Warner threw into the alien world twenty years ago - his secret enemy who is responsible to the murders of Bob, Tom, Therese, Dr. Harburg and Trevor, as well as to the hallucinations Curtis has been experiencing recently. As Curtis approaches the thing, its eye opens, staring at him in horror. It yells:] 

  Voice : Don't look at me!

  [the Hecatomb appears] 

  The Hecatomb : Go rot your own pestering brain!

  [bolt of energy emerges from the Hecatomb, hitting Curtis. It makes Curtis experience series of psychotic episodes. The surrounding changes: Curtis finds himself at operating room in Greenwood sanitarium, lying on operating table. Dr. Marek, the sadistic sanitarium manager, stands near him. Curtis lifts his head, but Dr. Marek pushes him back. Dr. Marek picks a scalpel and examines it at the light] 

  Dr. Terrance Marek : Now then... let's see what little mutant boy is made of.

  Curtis Craig : Let me go, please. Please, I haven't done anything!

  Dr. Terrance Marek : Your very existence is abomination.

  [Curtis grabs a syringe from the surgical tray near him and thrusts it into the side of Dr. Marek's head. Dr. Marek recoils, gasping in pain. The surrounding changes again: Curtis finds himself at the Dreaming Tree cafe, sitting with Jocilyn] 

  Jocilyn Rowan : I love you, Curtis... even though you've been cheating on me with Therese. I love you.

  Curtis Craig : Joce...

  [Jocilyn kisses Curtis passionately. She presses a gun under his chin] 

  Jocilyn Rowan : I love you too much to ever let you go.

  [Curtis grabs the gun and pushes it away. The surrounding changes for the third time: Curtis finds himself in a messy room, its floor covered with water puddles and gore, torn piped hang from the ceiling, dripping water and smoke. The dead body of Trevor appears, his neck broken and bloody in the same condition as he died] 

  Trevor Barnes : I was wondering when you plan dragging your lazy ass in here.

  Curtis Craig : Trev?

  [as Trevor advances, Curtis steps back. His foot slips on puddle, and he falls. Next to him, the dead body of Bob comes to life - also in the same condition he was killed, his mouth stapled] 

  Bob Arnold : Before you forget, big boy!

  [Curtis crawls back. From his pocket falls keycard. The dead body of Tom appears and approaches, dragging a sledgehammer] 

  Curtis Craig : [to Bob]  Get away from me!

  Bob Arnold : Come a little closer, ratboy.

  [Bob shows Curtis a bloody letter opener, one of the tools which were used to kill Bob] 

  Bob Arnold : You got something in your eye.

  Curtis Craig : [to Tom]  Tom... Tom, I swear to god, it wasn't my fault. Tom, it wasn't my fault!

  Curtis Craig : [to Trevor]  Trev, please... oh, god. Trev, please don't hurt me.

  Trevor Barnes : Curtis, I only want to kill us.

  [as the three zombies get closer, Curtis grabs the keycard. Rushing to the elevator, he narrowly evades Tom's sledgehammer. The blow bashes Bob's head instead. Curtis passes the keycard at the elevator sensor. Nothing happens. Curtis watches in horror at Trevor and Tom getting closer] 

  Curtis Craig : Shit!

  [Curtis passes the keycard again. The elevator door opens, and he jumps inside. The door closes at the last moment before Tom and Trevor can reach Curtis. The surrounding changes for the fourth time: Curtis finds himself at the Borderline club, strapped by leather cuffs to bed. Therese sits astride on his waist, dressed provocatively in black leather] 

  Therese Banning : [moans in pleasure]  That was hot, baby. That was really, really hot.

  [as Curtis strains to free himself, Therese's body glows and she shoots from her palms bolts of electricity at him. Gasping in pain, Curtis manages to free his right hand, and he pulls a handle. The upper side of the bed rises, Therese loses balance and falls backwards on the floor, writhing in agony. The surrounding changes for the fifth time: Curtis finds himself as little boy at his parents' house, playing with toys at the yard. His lunatic mother comes outside] 

  Marianne Craig : Curtis... come here, Curtis sweetheart. I have something for you.

  [Curtis' insane mother approaches him, holding gardening shears behind her back, murder intent on her mind. Little Curtis stands. Instead of running away, he walks to his mother] 

  Little Curtis : I love you, mom.

  [little Curtis hugs his mother. This gesture of affection calms her down. She lets go of the shears, all murder thoughts disappear from her disturbed mind. Bursting into tears, she gently hugs and kisses her son. The surrounding changes back to the alien world. As Curtis has passed successfully throughout all the psychotic episodes, the Hecatomb is weakened. It still shoots at Curtis, but harmlessly. Its head drops, liquid oozes from its mouth. It fades and disappears as Curtis passes through it harmlessly. Curtis approaches the real Curtis and tears piece of the material covering it, revealing its face - identical to Curtis', staring at him in horror. It tries to hit Curtis, but Curtis easily grabs its wrist, pushing its hand back. Curtis pulls the plug on the real Curtis and walks away] 

• [after Curtis fixes the circuit board at the alien dimension, the doorway opens. Curtis passes through it back to reality. Curtis is again at the Threshold control room. Jocilyn enters. They look at each other in silence for long moment. At last Jocilyn speaks] 

  Jocilyn Rowan : Curtis, I know. I know wha... who you are. I love you. Please, stay with me.

  [Curtis gently caresses Jocilyn's cheek. Then he notices clicking sounds from the control panel. He pushes the glowing switch. Voice comes out of it:] 

  Voice : Hello, Paul Warner. The doorway has been damaged. It has become unstable. We wish the Twin to return to us. It does not belong on your side.

  [Curtis, realizing that he is an alien, must choose whether to return the alien world forever, or stay at the real world with Jocilyn] 

• [possible ending no. #2: Curtis chooses to stay at the real world. Some time later, people at the Dreaming Tree are discussing the recent events] 

  Woman at Dreaming Tree : Can you believe that big time exec like Paul Warner killed all those people?

  Man at Dreaming Tree : Sure I do! Suits are evil, you know.

  Woman at Dreaming Tree : Where do you suppose he is now?

  [Curtis and Jocilyn are sitting at the Dreaming Tree. Jocilyn talks excitedly about their vacation] 

  Jocilyn Rowan : You're gonna love the bikini I got. It is so tiny. I swear, it's this big.

  [Jocilyn chuckles] 

  Jocilyn Rowan : Oh, and I picked up some really strong sunblock, because I know how you burn. Oh, it's gonna be wonderful: blue Mediterranean Sea, sun-washed beaches... oh, you're not gonna regret this, Curtis. I promise.

  [Curtis tries to be cheerful as Jocilyn hugs him, but under the table - his right palm changes to alien shape, and back to normal. In the post-credits scene, the fate of Paul Warner is seen: his severed head hangs by several veins, groaning in pain, his eyes stare in horror]
