- [Charmian] Right.

(hooves clopping)

Dear friends, I am not

very good at goodbyes,

so we snuck out on the ferry.

I just want to let

you all know that

I've had some of the best years

of my life on this island.

(horse neighs)

And when we came here, it

was all we had dreamed of.

And along the way, our,

our little world here has,

has been home,

adventure, chaos, and peace.

(gentle music)

It's been, it's been

hell in paradise.

(horse whickers)

(wings flapping)

I think at one point, you

wake up, you look around you

and you find yourself a

stranger in your own world.

And even in your own life.

You can't remember

the dream anymore.

(ferry horn blaring)

That's when you realise

it's time to move on.

I will wake up mornings and

think about this island,

about its people.

And I will miss them

and the dreams that

we left behind here.

Take care.

Yours, Charmian Clift.

It's, uh, it's just the lyrics.

Frankie Valli and

You shouldn't let a few

me in this intellectual bag

This is my version of

trying to write songs

- You wanna be a pop star?

bad thing, I love pop stars,

I want to write pop songs,

It's very sad.

- What's sad?

sinister, magical effect on me.

I've completely, uh, fallen

You know?

I really, I think I'll

go back to writing now,

writing novels no one reads

or likes, except for this guy.

honest with you here,

I think those who like you are

more into your lyrics, man.

So (spits)

I was gonna suggest, why

don't you recite the lyrics

I'm sorry about this.

I can't stand being hated.

And you hated me so much today.

I'm opting out,

and you can play in any

way you wish from now on.

I am sure you will

have a most successful

and distinguished career.

(siren wailing)

(thunder rumbling)

- I went ashore, I

had $500 in my pocket.

Every opportunity, the

world was my oyster.

But that was when

I drowned on land.

Went home safe. (chuckles)

- It's true.

- Many a true word has passed

through these false

teeth. (laughs)

(coughs) I know that look.

You just set sail for somewhere

you think is paradise.

(thunder rumbling)

And along the way, your

boat takes on water.

Somewhere around there,

you lose your map.

(customer chattering)

- Mm.

(thunder rumbling)

(rain pattering)

Darling Marianne Cohen, the

radio says it's morning,

but the windows don't

connect to the sky here,

so I'm never sure.

I'm worrying that you're lonely.

Sometimes I stop and feel

you're wanting things

I haven't given you.

(customers chattering)

Marianne, isn't it

curious and warm

to grow old in

each other's lives?

I think I need you

now more than ever.

Kisses, Leonard.

My Nordic angel.

(Marianne laughs)

(lips smacking)

(Leonard sniffs and

exhales sharply)

- What happened to the album?

- I don't know.

You know, the first one

didn't do very well.

It's not very good at all.

I, I'm thrilled to be honest,

I like saving people money

and saving people time.

- What will you do now?

- (sniffs) I don't

know, I, like,

I, I, I'm, I think I'm going

to throw myself into the book,

have a lot of ideas

jamming in my brain,

and, you know, I'm excited to

hammer them away at the paper.

It'll be a joyful m*ssacre.

(Marianne chuckles)

(Leonard breathes heavily)

A, uh, a man's resignation

to his true calling,

his only calling.

- You know,

people are losing

each other and, uh,

it's getting empty here.

Can we promise not to

lose each other again?

Please?

- No, I promise, I

promise. Don't go away.

(Axel speaks Norwegian)

(Marianne speaks Norwegian)

- New people at

the grocery store?

they're from the mainland.

- Uh, yeah,

(Axel speaks Norwegian)

(Göran speaks Norwegian)

- Hi.

- Uncle!

- Hey!

- Finally, one familiar face.

(Göran speaks faintly)

- (laughs) Yeah.

(Göran sighs)

- Oh, it's so good to

see you, my friend.

- It's all changed, man, there's

all those young people and-

(Göran speaks Norwegian)

(Marianne speaks Norwegian)

- It's terrible.

- There was a phone call

for you down at Katsikas.

- Already? Did the

government call in?

Is, is that them?

- (laughs) Hey!

Hey!

- Hi.

- [Leonard] Why

didn't they call here?

- I guess they don't

have the number, but, uh,

they said they will call

- Wow, that's terrible.

- in, in about five minutes.

(Marianne speaks Norwegian)

- (chuckles) Don't give

him any more sugar.

(Marianne chuckles)

No, really.

- No, it's mine!

(books thud)

All right.

- What's going on?

- You know, the

programme, I, uh, (sighs)

the TV programme

I did in London?

Hey.

Um,

(Axel mumbles)

I thought I was rather hostile

on it, but they

really liked, uh,

I don't know, lots

of people saw it.

You know, my, my first album

was apparently

charting in the UK.

It's in the Top 20

now, which is, no,

something I never thought

was a possibility.

And, um, (exhales sharply)

(sighs) and they

want me to record

the rest of the second album.

(Leonard stammers)

- So what, so you,

so you're leaving

again, n-now, or-

- Right, that's the plan.

- Right.

- Yeah.

(insects chirping)

But, uh, yeah,

(sniffs) they, um,

oh, boy, (exhales sharply)

they said that, uh,

I might be a star.

- What?

- Please, I love you,

I'll be back, of course.

When you're a star,

you don't know how long

you're going to burn.

You gotta, you gotta make

sure you're up in the sky

while you're still shining.

Yeah?

(Marianne sniffs and scoffs)

(insects continue chirping)

But I'll be back, you know,

I'm coming back, obviously.

Yeah?

No, I am.

(Leonard exhales sharply)

- [Axel] Mamma?

- Hmm?

(Axel speaks Norwegian)

(Marianne exhales sharply)

(Marianne speaks Norwegian)

(salesman speaks Norwegian)

- Okay.

(artist sighs)

(Marianne speaks Norwegian)

(artist sings in Norwegian)

- [Salesman] Don't get more.

(artist sings in

foreign language)

- I've seen you around.

Would you like to have

a glass of wine with me?

- Why?

- It's boring drinking alone.

And I have this whole bottle.

And, well, you look a

little down, frankly.

So I don't know,

any of the above.

- Sure.

(customers chattering)

- [Bar Owner] For Marianne.

- Mm. (speaks Norwegian)

(customers chattering)

- So why are you down?

- Down? I

Why do you want company?

- I'm dying.

- What?

You're-

- Dying, yes.

Six months or something.

Cancer.

- I'm sorry.

- It's the first

time ever that I felt

that my life is precious.

Really wish I'd

known that sooner.

What about you? Do you,

do you find it's precious?

- Life?

Ah, I'm not sure that I

do, right now, I think.

- I mean, right now

is all there is.

Really wish I'd

known that sooner.

But it's sorta too

late now. (chuckles)

- Yeah.

(hooves clopping)

(customers chattering

and laughing)

I don't know if this is

a very rude question,

but what do you think you

would've done differently?

(customer laughs)

- I think I would

have cared much less

about what people think.

I think I would've

loved and f*cked,

knowing full well that I

am not who I sleep with.

Wouldn't have cared

about my weight,

(horse whickers)

or that other people judging me

has really nothing

to do with me.

I would've loved myself better.

I would've not been so afraid

of people not wanting me.

- Are you scared?

- No.

Not yet.

I'm sure I will be,

but until then, I plan to live

as much and as well as I can.

- Thank you.

- For what?

- Perspective. (chuckles)

I know, I think it's just

Sometimes you don't even

realise how easy it is to just

constantly hide the

truth from yourself.

Uh,

so, yeah, (clears throat)

thank you for pulling

down the blinds.

trying to k*ll yourself, hm?

All different kinds

I know, fame is like

heroin, it can k*ll you.

Leonard, you ready?

- Well, uh, next

we go to Geneva.

- No, after, after the show.

- Uh, now? No.

No.

- You will not sing for us?

- Why, would you like to listen?

(models laughing)

- Yes.

- Uh, well, I don't

have any plans for it.

(model chuckles)

It's hard to come on to a

girl in front of the camera.

- What?

- Did you get all that?

Okay.

- Here we go.

(suspenseful music)

(water burbling)

(Leonard panting)

Just breathe, just

breathe like that.

Perfect.

(siren wailing)

(water burbling)

Hey, hey, hey, look at me.

(Leonard panting)

Shh.

Shh, it's okay,

it's okay. It's me.

Shh, just, just breathe, it's

okay, it's okay, it's okay.

Hi, I'm here. (breathes heavily)

(siren wailing)

(traffic droning)

(horns honking)

(Leonard breathes heavily)

Hi.

- My love,

(exhales sharply)

I thought you were,

I'm so happy you're here.

- No, just eat and stay in bed.

Stay in bed, stay

in bed, my love.

And eat some food.

- Oh, I can't.

- Yes, you can.

(Leonard exhales sharply)

No, no, no, no, the

pills, the powders,

it's all in the New York sewers

because you are gonna

come back to life.

- How'd you get in my room?

- It's very easy,

I just convinced the

night porter that I,

uh, I'm your fiance.

- How'd you do that?

- Well, you know, I just

had a little (sighs)

trick up my sleeve.

And I just showed him

the, the back cover

of your latest album.

- I'm sorry.

(Leonard breathes heavily)

(record tapping)

I hope you don't

mind I used that.

- I liked it, actually. And,

um, I liked the album, too.

Hmm.

(lips smack)

(gentle pensive music)

(gentle pensive music continues)

(birds chirping)

(footsteps plodding)

(Marianne breathes heavily)

(chuckles) That's beautiful.

- What is, the sunset?

Or the young love?

- Both.

- Sometimes I worry

that, uh, what we had,

no, what we have,

that, um, it belongs to some

rock on the island of Hydra.

- Maybe that's why you feel

like when you've lived on Hydra,

you can't really

live anywhere else.

(gentle pensive music continues)

- Including Hydra.

- Including Hydra.

(Marianne chuckles)

Oh.

Thank you.

- That's my line, "Thank you."

You've saved my life over and

over and over and over again.

- No.

- It can't be easy.

(child chattering)

- It goes both ways.

You saved mine, too.

Mm.

(gentle pensive music continues)

Hey,

- I feel like we're in

one of my silly poems.

I'm being verbose,

(Marianne laughs)

and terrible and pretentious,

and you're looking

beautiful and true.

(gentle poignant music)

- And, um,

if we are one of your poems,

are we finished now?

(gentle poignant

music continues)

(Leonard sniffs)

(Marianne breathes heavily)

(gentle poignant

music continues)

(jewellery rattling)

Well, Marianne, it's

come to this time,

when we are really this old,

and our bodies

are falling apart,

and I think I will

follow you very soon.

Know that I am so

close behind you that

if you stretch out your hand,

- Stretch out your hand,

I think you can reach mine.

- I think you can reach mine.

- And I know that I

have always loved you

for your beauty and your wisdom.

But I don't need to say

anything more about that

because you know all about that.

But now I just want to wish

you a very good journey.

Goodbye, old friend.

Endless love.

I'll see you down the road.

Leonard.
