Post by bunniefuu »

Oh no.

Oh no,

did you have a nightmare?

What happened?

Tell me.

No, I'm just thirsty.

A fire, a tree, a horse

And a house,

an Indian, of course

And a settler, a sleigh,

a snowman

A cat, a cloud, a moose

And a windmill, a blizzard,

a caboose

A shipyard, a seagull,

a sunrise

How high would you go

If you could,

oh, if you could

I knew this would be

A perfect morning

No one is stirring

If I were a cat

I'd be purring

It's easier with light,

right?

-Sorry, I was finishing up.

-Eh.

-I'll get out of your way, Dad.

-Hey, look at that.

To think this all

leads to us

It's quite beautiful

even to think about

Even to think a...

Are you ready for us?

Sure, we're done, we just...

We met early

to discuss the air supply.

This looks great.

To think this all

ends with you

Only you

There you are.

I was...

Forgive me, I'm sorry...

- I was just coming.

- No, don't let me intrude

I just thought

that you and I...

No, no, you're busy,

and I'm being rude

Maybe we'll find

another time later today

You wanna have

breakfast with your dad?

No, I...

You're swimming

with your mom, right?

- Yes.

- But first...

show her

what you did with the flowers.

Night-blooming jasmine

Why'd you ever...

Night-scented orchid

How clever

And evening primrose

I'd have never

They all bloom at twilight

Here, they bloom forever

What a wonderful gift

you have given us

Flowers in the night

Look at us,

aren't we a sight?

Forever,

the strength of our family

Together,

our future is bright

-Shadows grew

-Shadows grew long

Into endless night

-Into endless night

-We fight through the dark

And we thrive

In our happily ever after

Basking in the light

We will bask

in the morning light

Basking in the morning light

And these walls

will echo with laughter

Together,

our future is bright

What a wonderful gift

you have given us

A good life

with no end in sight

Our hope for tomorrow

will guide us

Together,

our future is bright

28:10!

Isn't that three seconds faster

than your record?

Wow!

Oh.

Huh.

Uh...

Isn't it a little...?

I mean, it's a little...

It's too colorful,

isn't it?

I'm sorry.

Well, I was...

I was going to say trashy.

I mean, it's not,

but...

it is a little kitschy,

isn't it?

-So you like it?

-Yeah!

So do you, right? I mean,

it's still a masterpiece.

-A trashy one.

-Yeah.

I think

this is our best spring ever.

Mmm.

Thank you, thank you.

This wall...

Is it darker?

Than what?

It's the same paint.

It's the contrast.

The tufts of cloud

are so bright.

Come on,

you've done well for yourself.

-Remember that rathole

you had in ballet school?

-Oh, my God.

I had to teach you

how to piss in the soup pot.

Maybe if I don't

stare at it.

Yeah.

It's just...

No, I'm sorry, if there's

one thing I've learned,

it's to take details seriously.

-It's very subtle.

-But subtle's worse.

Because you're always trying

to find it again.

The fire's still raging

and you are out of time.

In 90 seconds,

there will be nothing left.

87, 86,

85,

and she's still breathing.

Get the fire extinguisher first.

You must put the fire out first.

And you are down.

No, save your mother.

Go, save your mother.

Go on, save her.

- That area's on fire.

- I jumped through the flames.

It's an inferno.

Now you are on fire.

You need to lie down.

Please.

What are you doing?

That's empty.

- In 15 seconds, she's gone.

Where are you going?

I'm here.

No, you left her.

And your dad is on fire.

- No.

- That's lights out, Mom.

Lights out here.

- That's of no use.

- No, I got him.

No.

I got him.

- Shh, calm down.

- Lights out, Dad.

- It's OK.

- Put me down.

- Your father is dead.

Look at your mother.

Your mother is dead.

Everyone died.

You failed.

Everyone died.

We are all dead.

"I jumped out of bed,

thrilled for a new day

in the energy business."

"In Indonesia, we were the bread

and butter of the nation,

"lifting millions

out of poverty and disease."

Ah, it's beautiful.

"So when t*rror1st rebels

blockaded our Matapao refinery,

"I couldn't turn

the other cheek.

I owed it to those proud people

"to fight back,

an eye for an eye.

"I dialed General Edhie

and requested air support.

My god, did it come!

"Rat-a-tat-tat,

spat the machine g*ns

"as the t*rrorists' bodies

were being ripped into..."

No.

First of all, I condemn

the violation of human rights.

No, I know.

-I just...

-But is that how you see me?

I... I...

It's what

he gave me.

I just gave him

all the articles.

That must be what the media...

Hey.

Let me see them.

These are lies.

How is my son supposed to write

if you don't...

He doesn't know

the difference!

It's all...

It's all... blood and violence.

I'll write a different cl*max.

Uh...

No.

Sorry.

Today was

a hard chapter,

but I think he...

sees the big picture.

That's wonderful.

I look at him,

the man he's become.

He'll be fine.

I know he will.

Yeah.

You can't sleep?

I can't do anything.

When Tom was dying,

and you knew you'd end up alone,

how did you cope?

I drank.

You know that.

But Tom and I

had so many good times.

And now

I have you.

I see what you're doing.

Just...

Just because there's

a little pause before you eat it

doesn't mean

people won't notice.

Your mom will notice.

Just don't steal

my cigarettes.

How did the joke go?

That Tom told the doctor

when he lost his hair

and both were bald?

Oh, you mean,

"Well, Doc, your head's

a lot brighter than my future?"

How could the doctor

be offended by that?

Doctor, um...

What was his name?

Oh, there were

so many doctors and

treatments...

Sometimes I think

that's what k*lled him.

But he always knew

I was there for him.

A blood-red sun

fills the sky

Far above me,

buzzards fly

They watch, they wait

Way up high

Ma, promise I won't die

I will always be with you

I will always be with you

To hold your hand

and stroke your hair

So whether skies

are dark or fair

Just sleep,

my child, I'm there

The sun is gone

It will not rise

The poison sea,

a last gull cries

A dusty storm blows out,

then dies

Ma, I'm scared

to close my eyes

Count falling stars

Till sleep arrives

The last star falls

The moon just sighs

The sky goes black

And heaven dies

I'm here, child

Close your eyes

I will always be with you

Everywhere

Well, well.

A sleepover?

-I guess I wasn't invited?

-No, no, you don't.

Tell us about it.

Or did he just come to pee

in the bed like in the old days?

What hole

did you crawl out of?

He does have quite the

ding dong on him, doesn't he?

I'm surprised you have

enough room down there,

what with your fallen uterus.

You are pathetic.

Get out.

Alright, come on.

- The sight's broken.

- Oh, yeah?

Show him.

Go on, show him.

How's a butterball

supposed to stop a b*llet?

Now, now.

He was a hero

that day.

How'd he get that?

When I was little, people came.

And why is that important?

-They can k*ll us.

-Uh-huh.

Sometimes

they actually seemed nice.

They were just

asking for food.

But it always ended

the same way:

They'd try and k*ll us

every time.

I was lucky, though.

The b*llet went

right through me.

Lucky.

That was

the worst day of my life.

Almost losing you.

I remember it

like it was yesterday.

And later,

maybe we can cut your hair.

What's that?

What is that?

Someone's here.

Come on,

seal off the area!

-Get in the car.

-Who is it?

-Get back in the car!

She's breathing.

How did you find us?

-I saw smoke.

-Ah.

Did you pass

through Salem?

I mean,

there was a town, but...

Right,

it's burnt through.

Did you live there?

We live here.

-Yeah.

-Hm-hm.

You must be

a family.

What about

your family?

They're gone.

So you're alone?

Sorry to hear that.

-Were you attacked?

-No.

No.

There's... There's no one.

There's no one.

After the fire season

last summer, we were hungry...

But how long

was your family alone?

Three years, but even

before that,

months went by with no one.

It just got

less and less.

People k*lling each other off.

Can you just tell us

what happened, please?

We had to get

out of the burnt area

to find food,

but it just went on and on.

And so...

we followed a highway.

There was a river,

but the bridge was gone.

So we tried to swim across,

but you can't...

-I made it.

-That's alright,

we understand.

But my mom...

and sister...

then Dad...

-All of them?

-I never should've...

-Never should've what?

-She told us what happened...

-But how did you keep going?

-Enough.

She'll need her strength.

You survived.

That's good.

Right?

Yeah.

Can you see how she got in?

No.

And there's half a mile of rock

above us.

We should move her.

It's damp,

and it's cold there.

But, uh...

To a spare bedroom

or something?

We can't let her stay,

can we?

But we can't.

It's been

20 years

since someone came.

No, no, no.

We said

we have to draw a line

somewhere.

We always said that.

Hm-hm.

Well, that was before we knew

how long we'd be down here.

But... But we said that

about everyone. Everyone!

If we change that now...

She's right.

That's why we have

a protocol.

Everything you've built

depends on it.

Right.

Alright.

Well,

we'll send her away.

"There was nothing.

"We were no one.

"We were less and less

and less..."

Lies,

trying to trick us into...

Anyway,

we're not the Red Cross.

Don't touch me.

I'll blow your f*cking head off!

This trip

It's just a little bit longer,

but

If it doesn't k*ll you,

it makes you stronger

Don't talk, don't shake

or sigh or breathe

Don't look back,

don't you look at...

Don't touch me

Don't you ever

f*cking touch me

Your sob stories

You think

I don't know you're stalling

Just don't look down,

you'll never know

you're falling

Our right

to life and liberty

Our happiness, our property

We protect that,

we won't let you wreck that

Ba da dee, ba da da...

Look at me,

see how I shine

The best comes last

in the grand design

And I'm unsurpassed,

the future's mine alone

The shining city on the hill

is me alone

Alone

Who else to light the way

but me alone?

All alone

I am here to keep

the dark at bay

Oh, God

Don't you dare start crying

Stay strong

And you'll feel

like you're flying

Nyah nyah nyah nyah...

Trouble

We don't want any trouble

But if we meet again

On a perfect bright blue

summer day

There's so much

that you and I might say

We'd start anew

So many questions

that I'd like to...

But until then

Be a cloud on high

You're made of air,

just drifting by

So you don't care

when you fade away

Alone

You disappear

without a trace

All alone

But solitude is bliss

Though the night is long

The sun will rise

Until then

Close your eyes

Here, Mom.

The safety's off.

I wish I'd brought

one of his other paintings.

This one's always staring at us.

What if we move it?

-We'll find a spot later.

-You're right.

There's a place

for everything.

I'm just a little on edge

this morning.

You like them?

You kidding?

I've never had new shoes.

Good. I'm so glad.

-Whoa.

-I tried. I had no choice.

- Please, I'll die.

- It's OK.

-I'll... I'll die.

-This way.

-It's OK.

-Please.

-Why are you looking at me?

-I can't go back out.

-Don't look at me like that.

-Please.

-Give me your hands.

-You don't understand.

- I'll die.

- You'll be fine.

-No, please!

-Come on.

- Wait, listen...

- Get her, we need...

- Hold her legs.

- OK, OK...

- Give me your belt.

- No, please. I'll stop.

- I don't want to do this.

- Hold her.

- Help me, please.

- That's enough.

Look at her.

-Please!

-I said that's enough.

Stop.

Now.

It's just a short drive.

Three minutes

and we're at the dining room.

OK.

We made bouillabaisse

and Dover sole.

I hope you're hungry.

I am. If I could,

I'd eat and eat and...

-... keep on eating.

-Thank you. I mean... Good.

Or rather...

Oh.

You must be very brave.

What you went through

before you came here.

Hmm.

But you can relax now.

Please...

-It smells delicious.

-We'll see.

The sauce kept separating,

but I think we just saved it.

We're thrilled

you're joining us tonight.

Right?

Is that you?

- Excuse me?

- Is that you?

Uh...

I was much younger then.

Ah.

-Is that your family?

-No.

Yes, my husband's family.

Try it.

It has a lot of tannin in it

from all the heat and drought.

But that's only good

for aging a wine.

Thank you.

Do you like it?

It's sour.

Uhm, bitter.

Huh.

It really is!

Maybe, if you, uhm,

take a sip

and you breathe in as you...

Like this, see?

What does that do?

It lets

all the other flavors...

Oh! Oh, dear.

- Sorry.

- That's quite alright.

-That didn't help, did it?

-That's perfectly alright.

It's still lousy.

One of the world's great chefs.

People waited months

for a table.

They waited years.

Oh, enough.

But save room for dessert.

I don't know where we'd be

without her cakes.

I hope you like it.

So, I think, uh,

this young lady would like

to know what we do around here.

Right?

I'm helping Dad write a book.

- Oh.

- He's my editor.

I was

in the energy business

and I guess I made a difference,

so...

it's a way of giving

something back.

Hopefully

somebody will read it.

Did you show her

the living room?

-We walked through.

-It's beautiful, right?

- All the art she brought...

- Yeah.

You know, she chose each piece

so carefully.

From every movement

and style.

She's an artist, too.

A ballerina.

She danced

at the Bolshoi.

I'm sorry?

You're learning piano now.

-What?

-I said you're learning piano.

-Oh. Oh...

-Don't worry.

Yeah. Is it...?

-Is there something wrong?

-Sorry, I didn't hear you.

-That's OK.

-Yeah.

She's gonna master it,

you'll see.

-You wanna play later?

-No.

- No...

- Right.

-We swim in the morning

to stay fit.

-OK.

When Mom was dancing, she had

to be in perfect shape, always.

I'm so sorry

about what we

put you through.

Oh.

We were scared.

We were just

very scared.

I... I hope

you can understand that.

-Yeah.

-Yeah?

Scared.

- Yeah?

Hm-hm.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Hm.

You were born here?

He was. He's very lucky.

Your face

was so round.

He was fat.

We called him

Bruiser.

- It's nice.

- Yeah.

-You had a dog down here?

-Yeah.

- Charlie.

- God, we miss him.

What's this?

What were you doing?

Food fight.

I forgot that.

We keep all holidays.

Halloween.

Scary faces.

Did no one else make it?

I mean,

from your family?

I just ask because...

I know what that's like,

to...

Careful.

You can easily cross a line.

Some things are private.

-There should be some distance.

-It has nothing to do with you!

Look.

Wanna help me?

Your ninth birthday.

Remember that?

-I...

-That suit?

Oh, yes.

You were having

a wonderful time.

You looked

so dapper in it.

That's a nice one of you,

Mom.

But my eyes

Oh, they shine

No, I look old

No, you look lovely

No, look at my smile

Each year you look brighter

than the last

See? Look!

New Year's Eve

A few years later

Those hats and tiaras

It was all your idea, Mom

No, but you made them,

you and your dad

You made this house

into a home

Look, the two of us

Each year brings us closer

than the last

She smiles

The whole room grows bright

I did everything right

But I'm a deer

frozen in fright

Flooded by...

Dazzled by...

Blinded by light

Once the world was

full of strangers

We kept our distance

So many dangers

We trusted no one

Now we have each other

Here, we're family

So I can be a mother

to my child

Give him a life worth living

If everything

should disappear

He'll feel my love

Love

Keep all of this polished

Make sure that it shines

Each room we clean

is a show of our spirit

Each stain we ignore

Is a sign of surrender

But here we all

care for each other

You'll be happy here

Each year brings us

closer than the last

She smiles

The whole room grows bright

Everything will be alright

I'll do everything right

You'll be fine

I'll be fine

I'm blinded by light

Once the world

was full of strangers

We kept our distance

So many dangers

We trusted no one

Now we have each other

Here, we're family

I am a mother

To my child

I'll give and keep on giving

my child

Flooded by light

-A life worth living

-Basking in light

If everything

should disappear

-Drowning in light

-He'll feel my love

He'll feel my love

Drowning in light

Come on in.

-Are you alright?

-Uh... uh...

Nothing to be afraid of.

Just a little water.

She's scared, Mom.

-Shouldn't...?

-No, she's alright.

Right?

Mom, just...

But this is bad.

If one of us can't help

in an emergency...

I...

It's alright.

Jump.

Jump.

You little c*cksucker.

Fat little sh*t.

Lemme see

your choppers.

Lemme see your pearly white...

Talking to the fish?

No.

-I know it's stupid.

-Why?

It's not stupid.

I love to talk.

A real motormouth,

yammering away...

My mom used to call me

her radio.

'Cause she liked to listen

when it got too...

uhm, quiet.

See?

That's the Civil w*r.

And that's

the Texas Oil Boom.

It started as

home schooling, but

whenever I learn

a true gem of history, I add it.

Yeah, I saw you had

the moon landing.

-You know about that?

-At night we saw satellites,

just...

circling the world.

Hard to believe

we could put them there.

But we could!

And we did!

"One giant leap

for mankind."

Phew! It moves me

in a very personal way.

-Here, I'm laying

the Pacific Railroad.

-Hm-hm.

They were Chinese.

You made them

look happy.

But they were.

What they did?

Before, you had to hike

through the jungles of Nicaragua

and get malaria or

motion sickness on a boat,

but...

you had no choice.

Unless you walked.

You don't know?

Thousands of them died.

But they didn't die

in vain.

They were really

part of something.

I don't know.

I don't know, losing people

like that, one after another...

Right, no, I don't...

No, I...

I don't mean that...

They weren't happy. But yes...

They could be proud.

They were building a country.

And that's...

That's the point of all of this:

building a country,

creating the moments.

See, there's Ulysses S. Grant.

And Grant's Tomb.

Uh...

Would you help me?

I can try.

We can plant trees.

I'll get some more. "Greening

the desert," they call it!

Or just making it

look more realistic, right?

They're just

here in the kitchen.

You'll love these.

They're...

What's wrong?

I told them I was going

to look for food, but I didn't.

We'd been trying to cross

that river for months,

and now it was winter.

And Dad was sick.

And I couldn't...

I couldn't...

I crossed without them

in the end.

- I know.

- No.

No, it's worse.

When I got to the other side,

I looked back.

They were calling me,

but I couldn't hear.

And the way

Dad looked at me...

Then they went

into the water.

What could you have done?

-They were dying...

-No, that's an excuse.

-They wanted you to live.

-They might've lived if I...

No, you can't think like that.

You can't.

It's just,

there's so much...

food here.

There's so much everything.

Uh...

We faced that,

too.

Who to save.

But...

Really,

you don't have a choice.

I had a choice.

-I had a choice.

-I know, I know... Listen,

I... I can finish this

on my own.

I know

where everything goes.

"Since the dawn of time,

the climate has changed.

"It will keep on changing

long after we're gone.

"Any little thing

can make it happen,

"from sunspots

to the wobbling of the Earth.

"There have been ice ages

and ages with no ice at all.

"Things come and go.

It's arrogance to think we

control the fate of our planet."

Sorry,

can I borrow a book?

Yeah! Sure.

How's it going?

Oh, great.

Very good writing.

"We'll never know

if our industry contributed

to the rising temperatures.

"But without fossil fuels,

the human race

"would be languishing

in poverty, and..."

Yeah... yeah...

Go on.

Oh. Oh!

You know what?

Maybe she has some ideas.

Me?

I mean...

It's your story.

You know what it needs.

Right.

That's exactly right.

Sorry. Thank you.

Hm.

Thank you.

You see?

We're on the right track.

Sometimes

you're too self-critical.

Yeah.

Who knows?

She might really make

a contribution.

-What's wrong?

-Uh... Nothing.

Maybe I was a bit short

with her yesterday.

Oh.

She was asking

about my diorama, but

I wanted to get back

to our writing.

I got impatient.

Maybe you should

give her something.

To show you appreciate

how hard she's trying.

Maybe something special.

I, uhm...

I... uh...

I got you something.

Thank you.

A watch?

It works.

Yeah, of course.

It's one of the most accurate

timepieces ever created.

Thank you.

My dad's watch was broken,

but he still wore it.

We guessed time,

looking at the sky.

Well, this works

a lot better than the sky.

A classic combination:

rose gold and ostrich leather.

I... I thought it might help you

manage your time better.

My time?

If a man earns

half a billion dollars a year,

every second of his time

is worth 16 dollars.

I want that.

So should you.

Why?

All that money,

look what they did with it.

It's a matter of respect,

not wasting people's time.

-Time is precious.

-I know about that.

Then you know

the importance of productivity.

-Achieving more in less time.

-I know what it means.

It's just,

is that what you think?

Or is it

from your dad's book?

It's my book, too.

I'm writing it.

When I

walked in,

you seemed...

You seemed

embarrassed.

No, I wasn't.

We were working on something

important and difficult.

It's called being hopeful.

The seconds

ticking past so fast

Before you notice them,

they're gone

Forever

But I remember time

When moments

did not disappear

When I closed my eyes

A single breath

could go on and on

Forever

So how few breaths

we might have left

Meant nothing much at all

Forever

Forever

How few breaths

we might have left

Meant nothing much

At all

You're developing

tolerance again.

We'll switch you back

to these,

restore some order

in there.

And I can combine these

with my muscle relaxant?

You'll sleep even better.

And...

will they help

with my dreams?

No?

OK.

Because they're getting worse.

And they are...

trash!

Why is my head

full of trash?

That's what dreams are.

For everyone.

Things happen during the day,

there's no time

to think about it.

Your brain files it away.

It...

But they...

They'll get you

back to sleep.

Thank you.

This is adorable.

How did you

make them?

I don't know,

I...

Mom...

In the beginning, did you see

the people who tried to get in?

No, I was with you.

Protecting you.

Before that,

then,

when you first came,

did you ever consider...

Because there's

enough room here, so...

Did you ever consider

inviting more people?

Who could we trust?

We had to think

about you.

Sorry, right.

I just wondered if...

I just wondered

if sometimes you feel sad or...

Who could we trust?

Sorry, right.

-Maybe you feel...

-I feel fine.

She is

a little insensitive.

Disrespectful.

To him, especially.

I'm not sure

he feels that way.

You're not?

I am. Very.

-It's like she has an agenda.

-An agenda?

-An agenda? I don't see what...

-You don't see.

Everyone else

we could've invited.

You said we had

to draw a line.

-Because otherwise...

-Yes.

-Yeah.

-Otherwise.

-Yes.

-Exactly.

-Yeah.

And you brought

your best friend.

She's family.

Look,

I'll talk to her.

I just don't understand

why she's here.

Why she's here?

What are you saying?

- Well...

- She...

She...

She is a stranger.

Our family,

they loved us.

We can tell her,

one more strike and you're out.

Something like that,

but...

-... only if you want that.

-No.

I don't want

to be the one...

I just think of everyone else

we could've brought.

No, alright, if you...

Hm.

-It still hurts, doesn't it?

-No.

Sometimes, but I think

the antibiotic isn't working.

Oh, so doing my job now,

are we?

You need

a different antibiotic.

But is it really

worth it?

-Will it help?

-Sure. But why bother...

...if you're leaving us

anyway?

There's just no bottom with you.

Give her the medicine.

Thank you.

No. It is. It's chipped.

Did you chip

the painting?

No.

I didn't, really.

Well,

why is it chipped?

-It's always been chipped.

-Of course it has.

I would've noticed it.

-I know it's subtle.

-"Subtle's worse." Yes.

So,

are we looking into this?

Because I...

I'll go start on,

uhm, the office.

Aren't you trying

to be kind? I love that.

- I'm not being kind.

- That painting...

-Renoir's hands...

-"Twisted with arthritis."

Yeah, but we love that,

right?

The look of pain

in her eyes,

but still she danced with grace,

look.

-I see it.

-Do you?

The willingness

to sacrifice everything

to make this world

just a little bit bearable?

He strapped

the brushes to his fingers!

It came off.

It was just a bit of plaster.

I... I think

it's a myth.

I think it's a myth

about strapping brushes

to his fingers.

I think his assistants

helped him.

You gotta

knock it off.

She lives with us.

And you're not doing him

a favor, either.

f*cking piece of sh*t!

Was this piano a gift from

when Mom retired from dancing

or when she debuted

in Swan Lake?

I don't remember.

She also said the director

of the Bolshoi was an admirer

and gave it to her

when he first saw her dance.

-You'll have to ask her.

-She'll tell me a new story.

Whatever serves

her purpose.

She never danced

at the Bolshoi.

What?

She was...

an understudy

on a tour,

but she never got to perform.

Hm?

Don't tell her

that I told you.

No, no.

-Please, promise you won't.

-Of course not.

That's good enough, isn't it?

No.

I have

to fill the cracks.

But there will be

a picture there.

But it should be like silk,

your mother says.

It always cracks.

So it feels infinite

when you paint it blue.

Like the sky,

right?

-But it's just a wall.

-Please!

There's nowhere else

for me to go.

Nowhere.

I just need

15 minutes

to fill the cracks

and I'll be done.

- Do you want me to time it?

- No, don't do that.

That was stupid of me.

We would've k*lled you.

I...

I tried.

But...

You said we always

have a choice.

But... I...

I'll never see the sky

I'll never feel the wind

I'll never smell the rain

I'll never see a tree

Shimmer in the heat

I'll never see the dust

Drift across the plain

I'll never feel a storm

blowing warm and wet

I'll never see the hills

dark in silhouette

I'll never see the sky

Turn from blue to black

And I know

it can't turn back

Don't you see

I'll always be too late

Even for the twilight

Blotting out the dying light,

a never-ending night

I close my eyes real tight

Not one star in my sight

I just see salt,

dead and white

But that's alright

You'll be alright

Have no fear

Just stay strong and hard

like stone

Like walls

Like these walls

And live forever

Alone forever

Too late,

I thought the sun has set

Maybe not quite yet

Not quite yet

Clouds catch fire

In the last rays of sunlight

You can do that too

-How can I do that too?

-And you can shine

Like snow in the moonlight

Can we, can we do that too?

Can we do that too?

Can we do that too?

- A cumulonimbus cloud.

- Cumulonimbus?

Yeah. The top

reaches the stratosphere,

then it stops.

There's no more water up there,

so it stops.

That's... nothing.

I don't know

what that is.

Somewhere

my parents went.

They don't know

I have this.

Are they cities?

-They're, um...

-Fires?

-They're fires.

They're still burning.

They'll burn for hundreds

of years until the oil's gone.

Those people, they're...

They're so angry.

Yeah.

I don't know

who those are.

Some...

-That's your mom.

-Yeah.

Who's she with?

That's my Aunt Mary.

And that's my grandmother.

That's my Aunt Mary again.

Dressed as a bird...

Why aren't they here?

I don't know.

I don't know.

-It doesn't work. You do it.

-You do it.

-Wait! No, no!

-No, no! You can't "wait!"

You can't say "wait!"

You just gotta go for it.

No.

Dum ba dum...

Oh!

Oh!

Oh!

-This isn't a trap, is it?

-One-man marching band.

-Huh? What?

Don't just stand there,

try!

Do something!

Cha-cha-cha...

Oh.

Uh...

No, no, it's OK.

Look, watch.

You never tried that?

You build it up

and let it go

to a little music.

Yeah.

Me and my sister

used to do that.

-Do it again. Do it again!

-Are you crazy?

No, that's dangerous!

Can I say something?

I'm excited about

too many things at once.

Seeing you

in the morning,

thinking about you

when I brush my...

I... I do that.

I promise, I...

What if we just

left this place?

- They're sweating.

- It's OK.

I... I'm sorry.

I know, I...

It just happened.

What do you want to know? We...

We have fun.

That's all.

You have fun?

When we're working,

we have a good time.

Hm.

And at night?

No.

- No.

- No?

No.

Just when we're working.

But you have

had sex with her.

No, what I'm doing is...

I think

I like her.

I'm sorry, Mom.

How?

How can you know?

I... I just know.

But you have no experience.

You've never met anybody before.

I know,

but that's what's happening.

Sometimes

when we like somebody,

they don't like us

in exactly the same way.

Sometimes they just want

something from us.

No.

I know how she feels.

I do.

If you're so sure of that,

then...

why give her this?

Oh, dear.

If you give her

something like this,

you're never going to truly know

how she feels about you.

No, that's not true.

We give out of love.

And when we receive,

we give love back.

We say, thank you.

I love you.

But that was stupid of me.

She didn't want a watch.

She was upset

and I wouldn't listen.

She needed

someone to listen.

Mom, I...

I love her.

I do.

It doesn't mean

that I don't love you.

Oh...

It's alright, isn't it?

I mean,

I know you said...

I said...? Oh.

Yeah.

Forget all that.

That's the past.

No, no! This is stirring.

-I was folding.

-No, you must fold.

A moron.

- A total f*cking moron.

Whoop!

And you,

a cloud on my towering mountain.

I want to be

a cloudy day.

Ah, well there's plenty of it,

so keep on going.

I will make you the Chamonix,

and rain the egg...

No!

I want you to keep going.

I want you

to feel at home.

This is your home

now.

I do.

Thank you.

And we usually

have fruit salad.

-Oh.

-We do.

We like it, don't we?

Yeah.

It's...

There's hardly anything in it.

Nothing bad for you.

It's...

And sometimes we have it

with a poached egg.

-Yeah.

-But no yolk.

And we enjoy it,

don't we?

Have waffles today,

Mom.

Come on.

Live it up.

No, I think

I'll stick with my fruit.

It's better for me,

and...

No,

and I'll enjoy it.

"To see her dance was to witness

"an exquisite flower opening

her petals to the sunrise.

"The hushed audience

at the Bolshoi was mesmerized.

"From my perch in the royal box,

I decided to make her mine."

Hm!

No.

Why'd you stop?

-It's... hollow.

-Hollow?

A flower

opening to the sunrise?

But she was a great dancer,

incredible.

Yeah.

When you went backstage,

how did you feel?

I filled her dressing room

with flowers.

-That's what you wrote.

-I know, but...

Did you ever want to know

what she really felt about you?

But maybe you were

scared to ask.

But then you had to.

Well...

I think you're looking

for something too abstract.

It's a form, romance.

You don't go

into endless chitchat.

The love

is in the metaphor

of a flower.

Or a beautiful sunset.

-Maybe some kisses.

-But it's not.

It's not.

Hmm.

Well, we'd have an evening here,

a dinner there.

It was

a long time ago.

Maybe it's normal

to forget.

It is.

It is.

You get used to each other.

The initial passion just

fades and...

How can you grow old together if

you can't remember how it was?

Well, that...

That's not what I...

What about you,

Butterball?

Would you come down,

please?

I was wondering...

Have you ever...?

I mean,

you know about me.

How I am and all.

Huh.

-Oh... Don't worry about that.

-Really?

Yeah.

Well, I did once...

What I should've done,

what could've been nice...

If only I'd said...

Or asked him

for a cup of coffee.

That's what people do,

you know.

When I get a charley horse

in my leg at night

and I can't reach it...

You see?

I can't.

So I...

I think about that

from time to time:

what would've happened.

Maybe nothing.

But maybe he,

or someone else

Anyway.

I never went in

for all that.

We all have things

we wish

we would've...

That's why

it's so hard.

That's all I meant:

being scared

to say hello.

That can work.

Sure. And when you did,

maybe you even had sweaty palms,

so you were scared

to take Mom's hand.

Sweaty palms?

Yeah, it's great. Keep going.

I'm scared to take her hand

Right.

Too scared to take her hand

Can't recall a single word

Oh, that's good.

Too scared

to say a single word

Now tell me where you are

Can't remember where I was

Maybe in your car at night

Waiting at a traffic light

Or driving through a storm

Blowing warm and wet

Lightning overhead

Phosphorescent torn-up net

And we're all alone

Dark hills in silhouette

Just the two of us

If only I dared to say hello

To say hello

I reach out

and take her hand

I'd wake in the night

and not be alone

Not be alone

It's just so beautiful

Even to think about

Even to think about

Even to think about

Clouds catch fire

In the last rays of sunlight

You can do that, too

What gift did I give

I only gave love, only love

Even to think about

In the last rays

I did, oh, I did,

and I said hello

-I said hello

-BUTLER: It's so beautiful

Even to think about

It's just so beautiful

Even to think about

What?

Can't you sleep?

Your robe.

It's so pretty.

It's, uh,

the same as always.

Oh.

But it's nice.

I... I...

You look nice.

I, uh...

You know what's funny?

I've been thinking

about how we met.

How long it took me

to say hello.

I don't know if I ever told you,

but I was scared.

I wanted to hold your hand,

but...

my hands were

so sweaty.

- That's how scared I was.

- Oh, yeah.

See?

How your robe

meets your neck.

You're beautiful.

I'm just older,

that's what I am.

No.

You're beautiful.

And I think of all the years

we've had together,

I...

That's something else

I never told you.

What I was just doing,

you know what I call it?

Because I call it

something.

Schnickling and schnackling

my head.

You never seen me

do it?

You call it schnickling

and schnackling your head?

I guess I don't do it too much

in front of you.

You have a name

for it?

-Sorry.

-What?

Uh... Give me one second.

-You alright?

-Yeah, sorry.

Hold my hands.

Here we go.

Good.

Lower your head.

Yeah...

Great!

Great, good.

You're a bit scared,

that's all.

You're doing great.

-Ready?

-Uh-huh.

You alright?

-It really shines there, Mom.

-It feels cold, the room.

-We haven't hung the chandelier

yet by the north wall.

-The north wall?

Adding just that touch of

warmth, like the North Star.

No, no.

Stars are cold, too.

I think

we need more red.

Mom,

winter is cold.

Yes, but it's what you do

in the cold.

You don't look at the stars,

you...

I... I don't even remember.

Sure you do.

How our breaths froze

and we ran all the way

to school to keep warm.

Your feet

are like ice.

You can feel

the blood rushing.

Or at night with your family.

-Sorry.

-No, please, go on.

Night so cold and long

Afraid to sleep

It seems the night goes on

Forever

But when you're not alone

And you sleep close

You won't feel cold at all

You keep each other warm

as a family.

Even in a storm

You're scared at first

But not for very long

If you're together

You can forget?

When you stay close

to those you love

There's not much fear at all

So if we stay together

And we keep close now

Can we weather

another winter?

Together

Here we have each other

-In cold and darkness

-Together

Can we warm one another

Just with love

Winter days

so short and dark

Before you notice them,

they're gone

Nights so long

and warmed by love

You don't feel cold at all

If you close your eyes,

you'd maybe dream

The night would never end

How few nights

we might have left

Meant nothing much at all

We will give and keep on

giving our love

We will make this life

worth living

If everything

should disappear

We still have love

We still

Have love

That was...

quite... I didn't even

know you wanted that.

I'm so sorry.

No,

I'm not blaming you.

-I'm so sorry.

-I'm not blaming you. I just...

-It's been a long time.

-Yeah.

-I don't...

-Yeah.

-I wasn't expecting...

-You weren't?

-No, not...

-Well...

Then what...

Well, that's good.

It's a little unrealistic,

out of the blue like that...

I know, I know.

Maybe we could

try again another time,

but with a little warning?

Oh.

What?

Never seen your mom

covered in sh*t?

Bring that here.

I thought,

instead of paper,

we could grow flowers

again.

I think

we can save these.

Pour the water here.

So,

you hold it from below.

And you have to be

very gentle with the roots.

If they break,

it dies.

When did you...?

Who taught you this?

I don't know.

Was it your mom?

Mom,

what was she like?

What is that?

A bird.

A chicken?

That is not

a chicken.

Chickens are the only bird

I've ever seen.

You know, that is something

I used to be very good at:

birds.

Um...

Don't laugh at me.

What's that?

It's a robin.

You know the way

they used to hop along.

OK.

And, um...

It's a cow.

No,

it's not a cow.

It's a loon.

A loon?

A loon.

Hmmm.

It's a water bird.

We have

a little surprise for you.

-Uh-oh.

-And honestly, I'm nervous.

But not as nervous

as you should be, because

a certain someone...

So, I... did try to get in shape

for this evening.

So I'm not quite so much

of a butterball.

Nobody's calling you

a butterball.

No excuses.

We want a show. Give us a show.

-Did you not know?

-No, I had no idea.

Wow!

You should try

your own creation.

Thank you.

Here I go!

-Like this.

-What?

Oh yes,

that's right.

You are such a chump.

-You can never...

-Such a chump.

OK.

OK, who else?

Oh, my Lord.

- Who else?

- Maybe next year...

Uh...

-You want to say...?

-Yeah.

-Say something.

-Um...

I...

Um...

I'm happy to...

I'm happy

to be here with you.

And thank you.

Really. For welcoming me

into your family.

You're welcome.

I'm probably a little...

I never celebrated New Year's

without my family before, so...

Um...

Every year,

we were surprised

that we made it one more year.

And...

in the end,

my parents knew that

any day could be the last,

so,

when we did make it,

we would celebrate

that we were together.

And I just...

I just...

Because...

What I did...

I shouldn't be here.

I don't deserve to be here.

- It's awful, what I did.

- You did all you could.

- I didn't. I left them.

- No, you didn't.

-Maybe that's enough.

-Let her talk, will you.

We lasted that long because

we were together, but I...

-I left them.

-Yeah, I know.

-But you're with us now.

-But I just...

-You have our family.

-I have a knot in my stomach.

It's always there.

Don't you?

And then

I ask myself...

... why am I living?

Why...

Why keep living?

I remember

this one woman,

sitting alone on the street.

And her eyes were just...

She lost everyone.

I'm really sorry

for what we did to you.

-I thought we were past that.

-No, you understand. You do.

You do.

I know you do.

You lost your family just

like I did, and you didn't...

I'm sorry.

It's just because...

... we're all alone.

No, no,

don't say that.

It's true.

Everyone's gone.

- We're all that's left.

- Just stop.

OK?

Thank you.

Very much.

Really.

Isn't this

her best cake ever?

Oh, good morning!

Yeah.

We need your wonderful ear.

Is that too sharp?

- Maybe a little.

- Yeah.

Mom, I'm sorry

about what happened last night.

Oh.

But it...

it ended well.

How's this?

Mom...

She was trying to tell us

how she was feeling, but we...

-I...

-Yeah, she wasn't feeling well.

-But she was.

-Is that too flat now?

It doesn't matter.

No one plays it.

They tuned this thing

every day at the Bolshoi.

Right,

the Bolshoi.

We stopped her, Mom.

We did.

Right?

I think we did,

honestly.

She said some things

that were hard for us to hear.

She needs to feel

that she can be honest with us.

For you of all people to talk

to me about being honest.

Mom, she just tried to tell us

what she went through.

-Uh, like you tell about Tom.

-You know nothing about this.

It was New Year's Eve.

Nobody wants

to start a new year...

-She was missing her family.

-Her family?

What did you tell her

about me?

-Nothing. I...

-No, no, no.

She singled me out.

-She accused me, actually.

-Mom.

-What the hell did you tell her?

-What can I tell her?

She can talk about her family,

like you can talk about yours.

-I don't.

-But you could.

-I wish you would.

-So now we just talk about...

every person

who happens to spring to mind?

Now,

let's try a smile.

Yeah? That's nice, but you're

not smiling with your eyes.

-OK.

-I...

I remember

one of the first things

I learned starting out

was how to control

my expression,

because people

do judge you.

Uh, it's not nice,

but

that's what they look at,

so...

What?

No,

she just smiled at me.

OK, well, that's

what we're practicing.

A real smile,

it starts from inside and it...

It spreads.

Yes, but you don't do that

with your hands.

-She looks great, right?

-She does, yeah. Almost.

A little better and... coming

towards you, happy to see them.

Ahh!

Ah, yeah.

Ah, you're beautiful.

Isn't she?

She is. Very.

-But what?

-No, she really is.

- You don't mean it.

- Of course I do.

Are you laughing at me?

Shouldn't we at least...?

-No.

-No?

But things have been so good.

It's gone: good.

-Gone from this world.

-Don't say that.

-It's a burned-out light.

-Don't.

Don't ever say that.

Look at us.

We're a family now.

-We're a family?

-Hmm.

When everyone I love

is not here?

Right.

I know. I know.

That's...

That's hard.

But you should remember: They

wouldn't have wanted to be here.

-They wouldn't have wanted to?

-No.

It wouldn't have worked,

honey.

-We talked about it.

-Honey?

-Yes.

-Now I'm honey?

Alright.

You hated

when your parents came to visit.

Mary's family, too.

You always said that.

No, you said that.

Aw,

come on, now.

You never asked me

what I wanted.

Yeah.

When we first got here

and you could still call out,

you remember?

You didn't even try.

-That's a lie.

-No.

To be honest,

I wondered about it.

She's tough,

I thought.

She's strong.

She doesn't even want to know

if her family's alright.

-What you're saying's not real.

-She's glad to be rid of them.

I asked myself, what kind

of mother is she going to be?

I'm going to tell him

about you.

-What?

-What you did to my family.

- Oh.

- Yeah.

OK.

- Good.

- Yeah.

-I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

-I am, too.

While you're at it, tell him you

thought your family was trash

and you chose this

instead of them.

Hm-mm.

Tell him.

He already knows.

He's not stupid.

I'll tell him

everything about you.

-He knows who you are.

-Everything you did...

to everybody.

-I'm going there now.

-OK.

-I am.

-I'll just, uh...

OK?

We're... we're alright.

You have to...

You have to calm down.

Come on. Come on.

You listen to me.

You listen to me.

We cannot be at w*r

with each other.

Forgive me

We met at...

Oh, I don't know

This or that occasion

I'm sure it wasn't

all that long ago

You wore a most delightful

burgundy dress

But I... I'm sorry,

I can't quite place your name

Would you...? I'm sorry,

I could almost die of...

Forgive me

Has it really been

so many years

We've been away a lot,

you see

Oh, here and there,

exploring new frontiers

We love to travel, Mom

Can't we enjoy our success?

This trip

It's a little bit longer,

but...

No, Mom,

of course I'll keep in touch

I promise I'll call,

it's not too much trouble

Of course it's no trouble

Dear

Dear Mom

Autumn's gone, winter's here

Our whole world smells

of cinnamon and oranges

And each season

more perfect than the last

I'm sending love

Dear

Dear Mom and Dad

I miss you both

But you never

would be happy here

Each day feels exactly

like the last

But I think of you always

Remember on car trips,

we'd sing all the road signs

like opera?

"Last exit in Kansas"

Or how we'd imagine the lives

of strangers in traffic jams

Mom can't tell jokes,

'cause she always cracks up

When she's nearing

the punchline

So does your grandson

He can't tell them, either

He looks just like you, Dad

I'm sure you would love him

if ever you met him

I wish that, well...

Well

Someday

I'm sorry

I need to go

I hope you're well

Dear Mom

I know I haven't

been in touch

But I've been

thinking of you

I know I haven't

been in touch

But you know

how time slips away

One day, then another

Then another

Then another, then another

But by then it was...

I knew you were...

How, how, how could I...

No message, no call

Just a new stain on the wall,

that's all

And Mom, I...

I...

I...

I...

I am sending love

I hope you're well

I wish that you were here

I am sending love

I hope you're well

I wish that you were here

Do you remember what you wrote

about our orphanage in Nigeria?

It's a masterpiece.

I'm sorry. I couldn't sleep,

I was so excited.

I got up and read the part

about our...

this orphan Daisy.

Is this Daisy?

Can I make

a confession?

It comforts me

that you wrote it.

Dad, it's three in the morning.

Why are you...?

I know, I know.

But where I'm stuck now is

how do I put that human face

on our even more important work,

like, you know,

big statistical stories:

irrigation,

renewable energy...

-... and hope, of course!

-Dad, why are you...

-What?

Please.

You're so good at this.

OK. OK.

Maybe...

Maybe start

with something like:

What really got me out of bed

in the morning was

making a difference.

That's so true.

And then:

My real passion was our work

in the developing world, where

drilling for oil was just

my excuse to build wind farms,

provide clean water,

and save the chimpanzees.

Hmm.

So, could that be

the human face?

Maybe.

Or: Now...

Sarah or Daisy

no longer had to walk 12 miles

to fetch water for her mother...

her crippled mother,

she could go to school like a

normal girl, all because of me.

But I didn't ask...

I just

want to put

a human face...

On what, Dad?

If you think

statistics work better,

-... then...

-Than what?

None of it's true.

Why are you...?

What...?

What more

could I have done?

The other companies

were worse.

At least I cared.

I still care.

Would you get

your f*ggoty hands off me!

Come in.

We thought we'd make this room

a little nicer for you.

I know.

It's a disaster, right?

No, no. We just...

fill in these cracks and you

choose some new wallpaper.

Wow, it really stinks in here.

Are you still smoking?

Sometimes.

These are of me.

-I didn't know...

-They're of us.

They're nice.

We were young.

You can't just...

I don't want...

Nobody needs to see these.

Have you seen these?

I...

Oh.

And this...

I wish

you'd get rid of this.

No, I...

Please.

Yeah, looking good,

but it's a Magnum, remember.

So that kickback's

gonna...

Oh, oho!

Hey, it's OK!

We're OK.

Yeah.

Oh, but he's not.

You got him right in the knee.

I'm telling you:

This is a great g*n.

It's been a real lifesaver

for us.

I brought energy

to billions of people.

And everyone used it to drive

their cars and fly away on

vacation, but...

You know.

Sometimes I wonder

if I did more harm than good.

Did I even care?

Sorry.

I made

some mistakes.

You know,

I, uh...

I never told anyone this,

but...

One time, my dog

followed me to school.

I yelled at her,

"Molly, go home!"

But she wouldn't.

So...

I picked up

a piece of ice

and I

dropped it on her.

But,

when I got home,

she was there.

Like nothing

had happened.

Do you think

that's OK?

Mistakes like that?

Do you think

I could be forgiven,

because I don't know

how much time I have left?

I... I think so.

Good. Good.

Do you think we can be forgiven?

Can I?

Me? Because...

Yes.

I think so.

I really do.

Why not?

Maybe that's the romance

of life: being forgiven?

Making mistakes,

being forgiven.

You see,

we feel too much.

Even

for our mistakes.

We're big-hearted.

Hm?

Hey, you

Look at you

Where are you now

When I need you most of all

Wish you were here

Hey, you

Look at you

Look at that smile

There's light in your eyes,

isn't there

When did it all disappear

Why don't you smile again

Because it's beautiful

Don't do it for you

Do it for me

And I know, I know

Nothing is free

But I'll give you the sky,

the sea

A bird in a tree

Oh, aren't you beautiful?

Huh.

Hey, you

Look at you

You are the big blue sky

Hey, you

Look at you

You are a cloud

A towering cloud

Cumulonimbus

How high would you go

If you could

If you could

It's just so beautiful

even to think about

Even to think about

Even thinking about it

Makes me...

Hey, you

Look at you

High in the big blue sky

Hey, you

Look at you

Are you a bird

A sweet little bird

Are you a chickadee

Cute little chickadee

How high would you fly

In the sky, the big blue sky

It's so beautiful

way up high

Where there's no air

But then you die

Then you...

You...

Tweet, tweet,

tweet, tweet, tweet...

-Even to think about

-Even to think about

Even thinking about it

Makes me...

You get the mask.

Quick, quick.

Put it on her.

So now you have to connect it

to the oxygen.

It is.

It is connected.

It's not turned on.

You'd never know you k*lled her.

Are you OK?

We got her

out of the fire...

-It's fine.

Turn on the oxygen, keep going.

-But that's cheating.

If you always stop her,

she can't learn.

-Sorry, she forgot the oxygen.

-Well, she's dead, then.

Let's just do it again.

Let's.

She needs the practice.

No.

Mistakes have consequences.

Hey. You need to learn to use

the safety equipment

if you want to stay here.

I hope that's clear.

OK?

- We'll do it again.

- You think I'm a joke?

-Dad, back off.

-Not in my house.

- Your father's right.

- She didn't do anything.

- It's fine.

- It's not.

Your father's worked very hard

and you should show a little

appreciation, actually.

-For what?

-For this.

For all...

For this haven.

Uh... A haven?

For who, Mom?

Where is everyone?

- Come on. Let's go.

Just leave it.

It's OK.

You think she's a saint?

You hate your father and me.

You blame us for everything.

Please, don't.

She's no saint.

She's the worst one here.

Oh, you think so,

Mom?

Just leave it.

Why won't you leave it?

You think

you're better than us?

-I really don't.

-We did everything to save you.

You ask her

what she did for her child.

For her little angel, who died

of, what? Cancer? Measles?

-Whatever lies she told you...

-That's enough, Mom.

Come on.

I'll say it.

Please let me say it.

Tom was...

Tom was an addict.

Like me.

Because of me.

Growing up

with a drunk.

And...

-And I...

-He never had cancer, did he?

You...

You left him...

-You left him behind...

-I...

-And you...

-Shh...

So everything...

Hey.

Hey,

we don't mind.

This is

for the best.

I thought you were different.

-I'm sorry, is it a bad time?

-No, no.

I'll only be a minute.

You don't have to...

Can I have

a moment?

Don't you

want to talk?

Tom could never

have lived here.

You couldn't trust him.

I had no choice.

Let's go.

- Please.

- Just listen to her.

I have always listened to her.

I know. I know.

What more

do you want from me?

I was just hoping

we...

Maybe you can... You can...

Forgive her?

How is it

up to me?

It's not

up to me.

You want forgiveness?

Go ask Tom.

It's still ten days

until your next refill.

I'm not sleeping.

You haven't had a good night's

sleep in 25 years, have you?

That's why I give you

so much sh*t.

Or because

I'm such a prick.

I remember

when you weren't.

Do you?

Everything itches,

doesn't it?

Yeah.

So, um...

Oh...

OK.

Hey, hey.

Shh.

Hey.

I'm so tired.

Aren't you?

Talk to me.

I'm alright.

I'm just tired.

You can

talk to me.

At least she's at peace,

right?

-You don't have to do that.

-It was her choice.

-No, you don't have to do that.

-She wasn't happy, never.

That's not true. She was happy

for you. She was happy for us.

I doubt... That was just

her running away again or...

I don't know.

I don't even know if she cared

about us, not really.

She loved you.

-I don't even know

if she liked me.

-She loved you.

Why don't you stop, please.

I'm so tired.

I know you're upset,

but she was your best friend...

-Stop! You talk too much,

you know that?

-No, that's not true.

Yes, you pick and pick and pick,

and it goes on and on.

-If you deny who she was...

-It becomes hell for everyone.

You want to make yourself feel

better for k*lling your family.

And now you're k*lling mine,

actually.

You alright?

Oh, come on.

Hey. You ready

for your birthday party?

Did you have a dream?

I did.

I dreamt

a dog was barking.

Or running away, or...

Or chasing something.

I can't...

-I can't remember

what happened next.

-Are you ready?

What happened next?

-I've got him.

-I'm sorry.

There we are. Come on.

How do I look?

Beautiful.

-Really? Both of us?

-Yeah. It's a great match.

OK.

How about now?

Hm.

Good. Better.

Better?

Oh.

It's great.

Can I take it?

Oh.

Alright.

-You alright?

-Sorry.

Sorry.

Yeah.

I love your smile.

Let's go see

those presents. Let's go see.

Come on, let's go see.

-Here.

-No.

-What an exciting day.

-Yeah.

Ah.

Oh.

Where would we be

without his cakes?

I...

I...

I am...

What a wonderful gift

you have given us

A grandchild.

See? We were right all along

And all we have

been through together

Makes us family

and that can't be wrong

Look at us, better than ever

Look at us,

aren't we a sight

Look at us,

all we have done here

So to us,

our future is bright

Am I home at last

Safe and sound

With everyone I love?

I am home at last

Safe and sound

With everyone I love

In the end

Our perfect bright blue

summer day

It all came true

The clouds just blew away

I'm here with you

Everyone I ever loved is here,

too

Have I found home at last

Where I've always belonged?

Together with everyone

I love

Their love keeps me strong

At last I am home

Right where I belong

Together with everyone

I love

Their love keeps me strong

We're basking in the light

And our future is bright

In the end,

the long dark night

-I'm drowning in light

-Turned to golden day

Our future's bright

-In light

-Clouds blew away

In light

We're drowning in light

Once the world

was full of strangers

We kept our distance

-So many dangers

-We're drowning in light

We trusted no one
