She's 22. -l know her grandmother. -Tell me you're not gonna date her. The grandmother? l promise l'm never touching that woman. You know what's wrong with people like you? Too much sex. lt melts the brain. -Here we go. -No worry about that around our house. l'm on your side. l'm the good guy. l'm sorry. l melt at least 3 times a week. -ls he lucky l'm offthe market or what? -They wouldn't even look at him. -You hear? They wouldn't look at you. -You're going to do this, aren't you? What is it with you two? l smile at this girl, she bushes from head to toe. Why would l do this? Knock it off. You'd kill to be in his place. -Okay ***, l'm ready. -Not me! -Can we start with "good-morning"? -My God, l'm so sorry. Who is this? Guess. -You? -lguess. -Who'd you think it was? -My friend, Simon.

One ofthose... black tie worthy cause, lousy foodkindofthing. l'd like you to make a hat... for me. Actually, not me, it's for my date. l don't wear hats, except to Yankee games. The problem is that l don't know her hat size and l don't want to ask her... -because it's a surprise. -Was it the woman you're with last night? No. Cause she had an abnormally small head. lt might accountfor the limited conversation. l could always put in an adjustable band. -That'sperfect. Wonderful. -lt is risky doing it this way. You can do it. Life rewards the courageous few. You can do this. Can you give me a point of inspiration? -Like what? -Like an image. This hat is like... Like the line ofa woman's hip. -Okay. -When can lhave it? -Let's say... two weeks. -Great! -l'llgiveyou till Thursday, 4 o'clock. -Okay. Wow. One other thing... -you say "wow" an awful lot. -l know. You're a grown-up now. -When is thatgoing to stop? -Soon. -l'll see you Thursday. -Okay. Bye. Wow. -Mikey, howyou doing? -lcan'tcomplain. You're early, aren't you? ln this soup, you're better safe than sorry. -Will Keane? -Visitor. He's going to a fancy party tonight. He's up on twenty-four. l'll key the elevator for you. Tony, this was notan ace Parmesan from Froman's... Tony, this was more like a pepperino from Scarsdale... lknow the difference! lt's difference price. -You're late. -l know. l'm so sorry. l tried to get a cab and couldn't. l took the subway and... Yeah, yeah, it's alright. What's the point of being beautiful if it isn't to keep men waiting. ln fact... l'm disappointed. l was looking forward to at least half-hour ofsuspense. -l could leave and come back. -Too late. So, whaddya got? -Try it on. -l'm soaked. lt's alright. Go ahead. Try it on. You have to imagine it on your friend. ls it the line ofwoman's hip? -ls it? -Yes. -What a shame. -Why? -She stood me up. -Who? My date. She called an hour ago; said she had a cold. lt sounded more like the hiccups to me. -So, you mean you're not going to go? -Alone? No, no... Unless... What? No... no... -Wait, no... wait... -No. Forget it. No wait, what were you going to say? l don't know. l don't know. You wouldn't want to go, would you? Great. Forget it. Thanks. Thank you very much. lt'sjust... -You've got the hiccups! -Are you kidding? l'd go in a heartbeat. -You're fabulous! -Yeah? Oh dear... -lt must be me. -Must be. -Do you think l'm too old for you? -No, l collect antiques. Or l aspire to. We appreciate it. l would love to go, but l'm a disaster. l think with a little plaster and a little paint, you're as good as new. Do you wanna see the dress? There's a dress? l'm curious. What made you choose my restaurantfor your party? l had to pick a place for my party. l read that article about you. -The magazine! -The magazine. -lt's so embarrassing. -No. l liked it. You don't dance. You float. That's from my dad. l used to stand on his feet. My mom was a great dancer too. But, you knew what. Maybe. We danced a couple oftimes. Now you're dancing with me. How weird is that? She was very special. l had great parents. l was lucky. Shall we do this? Here you go! -Do you want something to drink? -Yes, champagne please. l'll get you one. Sit at the table and l'll be over in a second. l had to come. l work at the museum. What's your excuse? -A date... sort of. -With Will Keane, right? -Yeah, do you know him? -Only by reputation. -l'm Lisa Biloy. -l'm Charlotte. -Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you too. What's he like? Damn it, l see a huge donor disappearing. l gotta go. -Enjoy yourself. -Yes, you too. -Here you go. -Thank you. -Who was that? -Lisa somebody. -Here's to... -Us! Some people star to fall into recognizable patterns. The next step is that... immediately... you know people... inside. And if it's a woman... it's a romance, forget it. lt'sjust... this majorly chilling effect'cause you know exactly in the beginning... what's going to happen in the end. What l like about you is l fiind you... completely unprecedented... and therefore, utterly unpredictable. God! That must be a relief. What? To fiinally deliver that speech to a woman and have it apply to there. Because, coincidentally, l am all those things you just said. -Yes. -And so much more. My yoga teacher calls me a "unique". -Come again? -A unique. A unique. He's a very wise man. Are you sure he's not hitting on you? lt's a woman! You are what she would call a "typical". -Really? -Yes! Really. l can prove it too. You want me to? -Okay, try. -Alright... Come here. l'm serious. Closer. Closer... Close enough? Yes. l was hoping gravity would do the rest. Maybe l am a "typical". We should go. l can smell the rain. When did l learn how to do that? What should we do, Will... with this moment that we're in? Do you look guilty. l'm thinking. -You hungry? -Yep. Didn't anyone ever tell you it was bad manners... to stare at a girl while she's eating like a pig? This isn't right. You... you are... Young. Yes, and l am... Old. -Older. -Much older. Alright, much older. The point is... l could put this off, but l genuinely like you. l want to be clear from the start, so there's no confusion later on, okay? What l want to say to you is that... all l'm able to offer you... is this... what we have right now. Nothing more. Until it ends. What l mean is.. we have no future. l know. l'm sick. What do you mean? lt's my heart. Nobody even thought l'd last this long. l could've put offtelling you but... l genuinely like you. l wanted to be clear rightfrom the start... so there was no chance for any confusion later. She's the perfect woman. Young, beautiful and on her way out. -Notfunny, John. -l know it's not. lt's sad. -She's so young. -No, l mean you're sad. Even this, as far as it's gone. You shouldn't be doing this. -Why not? -'Cause it's out ofwhack. lt doesn'tfeel totally out ofwhack. lt doesn'tfeel totally out ofwhack to you because you're looking at her. l'm looking at you and it's ***. There ain't a right angle in it. Alright... l end it. l don't know. Make up your mind! What do you want me to do? l don't know. Maybe it's a good thing. Maybe it makes a sad girl happy and a desperate guy think. Anyway you look at it, one thing... treat her nice. What do you mean, "desperate"? Treat her nice. -Well, well... -Well, well... She'll be right down. She's upstairs, gilding the lily, so to speak. -He's here! -l'm coming! Now, come on. Do come in. These are for you, Dolly. Thank you very much. They are "Loverly". Aren't they... lovely? Care for a "***-i-tail"? -Yeah, sure. -Scotch? -Neat, please. -My kind ofguy. Sorry about the mess. My maid died 14 years ago... and l have found it absolutely impossible to replace her. What can l say, Will? Time is a thief. One day, you're rich as an Arab. Next day, you're lucky ifyou can afford pistachio nuts. lt's funny. Most of us are young for what? About a minute and a half?. Not Katie. Katie will be young forever. So will the guy she married. l console myself with that idea sometimes. Who'd have thought what time had in store for her. l'm sorry. l should have called after the accident. Then, on the other hand... time is in love with some people. Like you, for instance. You look exactly the same! -Please... -Handsome as ever. And up to your old tricks... looks like to me. -Look, Dolly... -Leave her alone! She's sick. Will, she's really sick. -What are you guys talking about? -Nothing. Just how much you look like your mom, is all. Yes... Yes, you do. Are you ready? Yes. Bye Dolly. Don't listen to her. Have fun! You gotta look on the bright side. lf l wasn't sick... this would not work. There is no way that we would be sitting here. We're totally wrong for each other. We're totally wrong for each other. l know. l could be your father. l prefer, Uncle. Do you think we should break this off?. Afraid you mightfeel something? Well, look at it this way. We can have it real, which we both know is way better. You wouldn't have to pay full price... because, in a year or so... l'd bejust a sob story you could use to bag more chicks. That is a pathetic characterization. l don't know. l don't accept that. The stench oftruth. "O world, l cannot hold thee close enough! Thy winds, they wide grey skies! Thy mists, that roll and rise!" lt does feel like rain. You wanna get a cup ofcoffee, and go to the West side? No, no. You'd abandon the universe... and me for a cafe late? No, let's not do it. Let's not do no thoughtless thing. We can't talk about he fact that you're sick? l'm right here, right now. Let's talk about you. -Come on, 49 years... -48! All right, 48 years. Come on, tell me about it. Give it. Share it. You look at me in a way that l haven't quite earned. Then earn it. Earn it, please. What do you want me to do? l'm yours. What is it? What are you doing? l'm keeping it. -This is my watch. -Yep. -When do l get it back? -When you forget that l have it. Mix this up a little bit... Sorry... What? Your mother used to do that. -Really? -Yep. That's how we met. l was a waiter... at the Beach Club. Whenever l'd pass with a tray, she's steal the garnish. What else did she do? What do you mean? l don't know. Little things. She'd eat her ice cream with a fork. -Really? -Really. Yeah. She wrote great letters... But she couldn't spell. She was a McGovern Democrat but incredibly snobbish. She hummed all the time. And Stephen Stills was her favorite singer. Who? Never mind. What's else? Considering the times... she was actually... pretty straight. l think she only tried drugs once. There was a lifeguard who gave her a hash brownie. She threw it up all over him. She laughed just like that. Words and poetry is what she loved. She was a "unique". Okay, you guys. How about a toast? Welcome to Charlotte. Welcome. Cheers! Thanks, you guys. You know, call me crazy... but l could swear your friends like me more... -than they like you. -That's altogether possible. -My friends defiinitely like me more. -What's your point? That l'm way outfront in the love race. -What? Love is not a race. -Our love is. -Our love? -Yes, we're going for it, aren't we? Why not? -Alright, l have to tell you something. -What? l never had a date for the benefiit. -Really? -Yeah. l was kind ofwondering about that. -l made that hatfor myself?. -Yes. -You bought that dress for me? -Yeah. You did all that so you could get a hold of me and muss me up? Yes. First ofall, you have great taste because that dress was amazing. -Thank you. -And second, you didn't have to lie. lfyou wanted to seduce me, all you had to do was ask. That's not seducing, that is asking. Besides - l don't know why - but women seem to love it when you lie to them. There isn't a lie in the world l'd rather hear than the truth. There she goes again, stepping out on me and breaking my heart. Even he likes me more. You're fiired. -Come on, it'sjust... -No! Ouch! Ouch! l can't believe this! Breathe, breathe. Breathe... are you alright? That's not accurate. Neuroblastoma is a soft-tissue malignancy, but not a cancer. Most common in children. Very rare in young adults. ln Charlotte's case... the tumor is in her chest cavity. lt's growing rapidly, it's proved resistant to both the radiation... -and the chemotherapy. -What about alternative therapies? Eastern medicine...? You don't hum this away. Charlotte is the expert in that area. Eventually, she'll be treated for pain. l suppose, as a fiinal effort... surgery could become on option. But it's risky. So risky that Charlotte has signed a directive... forbidding it, or any other form... of heroic intervention. All right. Doyou have any idea... about time? Ayear. Maybe ayear, atbest. Real charmer, isn't she? How are you on Cambodian money units? -Are you okay there? -Yes, thank you. That's incredible. Doesn't it look exactly like something she would have worn? Who? "Hope is a thing with feathers That perches in the soul." *** Allen? Emily Dickinson! Only the greatest poet ever! Uncultured swine. We all have our areas. l'm a food guy. Why don't you ask me aboutfood. Why are you the food guy? What is it about the food? Food... food is the only... beautiful thing that truly nourishes. ls that a quote? That's me. -Excuse me? Excuse me? -Yes. The woman whojust passed by here and went in the door...? -Yes? -lt's not Lisa, is it? -Yes. -Lisa Tyler? Yes. Could you...? No. Thanks. -Hello. Come in. -Oh, you look so great. -Where are the girls? -They're upstairs. l'm going to run up and say hi. You're a dog. Oh, man! There's stuff... in the kitchen. You want to give the can out to the trick-or-treaters... when they come? One, two, three, go! Go! Ricky, don't laugh, or you're going to get snot in the water. -Snot? Where is this snot in the water? -Can l get you a bone or something? Don't bite anything that's not an apple. Guess who? -lt's Wonder Woman. -No. -Get your hands out ofthere. -l got it! -We got the champ! -Let me give you a hint. l was the best thing that ever happened to you. -lt couldn't be Lynn McHale. -God! You are really bad! Lynn! l can't believe it! -Where are the kids? -Upstairs in their room. Keep bobbing for apples in there. -Just one more. -Please...? But then you're going to have to promise you're going to get in yourjammies. -Yes. -You promise? Which one? l know, "Butterflies". "Two butterflies... went out at noon..." "And waltzed above a stream..." "Then stepped straight through the fiirmament... and rested on a beam." "And then together bore away... upon a shining...sea." "Though never yet, in any port... their coming mentioned me..." ln my day, you bobbed for the apple... may there's a nickel in it but... you eat the apple! Your little animals, grab the coin and run for the door. -They're offto by crack. -Defiinitely. -Where's my little puppy dog? -l think he's upstairs. -There you are. -Hi. We werejust up on the roofchecking out... -The kids are sleeping. -John's got this amazing set-up there. Lynn, l want you to meet Charlotte. -Nice to meet you. -Nice to meet you. Something tells me you're upset with me. What is it? l wasjust wondering if... ifyou had sex with that woman? With Lynn? Ever? -The answer to that is kind ofobvious. -She's an old girlfriend. -You knew that. -l meant... tonight. -On the roof. -You're not serious? You are serious. no! No, ofcourse not. First off, it's... it's not exactly my style. Second... You have a girlfriend. lsn't thatfor me to say? As far as Lynn goes, why would l do that? lt doesn't make any sense. l know. l mean, that's what l was thinking... we're... so happy... What would be his reason? l thought, God, if he did do it, then you'd at least look... guilty. And you don't. You look totally relaxed. You look more relaxed... than before the party started. Well... there you go. But, you're a womanizer. You were a womanizer. -What is that exactly? -Here we go. That's a guy who has sex with a lot of women and is good at lying about it. Yes. But in this case l don't have anything to lie about. Nothing happened! There's something about being sick... in my heart. lt's like l can feel every beat. l'll know ifyou're lying. Oh, God! Oh, my God! -Can you pull over, please? -Don't do this. -Charlotte! Charlotte! -What?! Look, l never pretended to be... what l'm not. -Why?! -Why?! All right, fiine, why? Why? Because l felt like it. Because nothing stopped me! What about love? Why do you have to be sojuvenile?! lt was nothing. lt was nothing! lt meant nothing! lf l could be different... l would. What about love? You know what? This was all wrong. This was a mistake, rightfrom the beginning. You're a kid... l'm a creep. You've got better things to do with your last... with your time... then spend it with a man like me. Look who's here. The Belle ofAmherst. l've seen thatface before. -You have? -On several... occasions. All for the same reason. You said Mom and Will werejustfriends. They were friends. But she wasjust nuts about him. She never slept with him. Maybe because she was an old-fachioned girl. But she was smart. She made the big mistake. She told him how she really felt. lt was up in Newport at the club. Labor Day weekend. Big clam bake. Well, what happened? Next thing you knew, he was knocking up Millie What's-her-name in a cabana. -Millie? -Your mother's doubles partner. Why didn't you tell me any ofthis? -You know, you could have warned me. -l could have. But l didn't. You never talk to me. You never tell me what to do. Charlotte, take a good look at me. You want me to tell you what to do? Yes! You're my family! You're my family. You're supposed to take care of me. -Where you been? -Home. -l called you ten times. -l had the ringer off. -l don't get it. -What's to get? l was hanging out. -Something happen at my party? -You were there. We had a good time. -Come on! What's going on? -Nothing! What is it, something with Charlotte? -We called it quits. -You're shittin'me! lt's not exactly we called it quits, it was a more of, she called it quits. -What did you do? -What do you mean...? -What did you do? -What did l...? Don't *** me. What did you do? l had sex with Lynn McHale up on your roof. You're kidding me. No, l'm not kidding you. Charlotte found out. Now she's gone. Totally. l'm really sorry you did that. l blew it. You can't get her back? -l blew it. -So? So, l just go back to the way l was. How are you going to do that? lt wasjust going to get worse. The more attachment on both sides, leading to what? lt's now or later, right? l leave her a few months from now, she... No, this is better. This is much better. l wish the *** l'd never met her. l hate to tell you, but there's only two kinds of love stories. Boy loses girl. Girl loses boy. That's it. Somebody always gets left behind. Try and avoid that, you'll end up an old man toasting yourselfat Christmas. -Listen to me... -l don't care! -you're going to die in your own arms! -l don't care! l want it over with now! -Mr. Keane. -Good night, Michael. You've got a visitor. She's been waiting almost an hour. Lisa! -Sorry to disappoint you. -No... you surprised me, that's all. Did you get my letter? What did you do with it, burn it? l read it. -Do you want to come upstairs? -No, thank you. l'm sorry. l didn't plan this. l didn't plan to come. Peter, my husband thought it was pointless. But, as it turns out, l'm pregnant... just a few months. -Lisa! Congratulations! That's great. -Thank you. Anyway, that made me want to meet you. l've been a little sentimental about parenthood lately. -Do you consider me your parent? -ln a lousy absentee sort ofway, yeah. -So, how... how is Millie? Your mother? -She's great. She's good. Well, she's a nut. She went to Costa Rica last summer with some guy. He owns a charter airline and wears sunglasses indoors. l think he's a gun runner, but... -Do you really care? -No. No. l guess not. What about you? How long have you lived in the city? Just a few months. We moved from Austin. lfyou hadn't been on that magazine... l might not have recognized you. l only have one photograph and it's ancient. l have one picture ofyou, too. Just one. Your mother sent me one... a long time ago. You must have been about twelve. You had a horse. Summer camp. My teeth are bigger than the horse's. -l hated that picture. l hate it. -l don't. You were very beautiful. And you... haven't changed a bit. -l should go. -Why? l reallyjust wanted to meet you. And maybe... -l don't know. -What? Tell me. lt's not big deal. l've always had a fantasy that you were looking for me. And all you really wanted was to say that you were sorry. Lisa, l am. Hey, can l... Can l call you? How did you get in here? Dolly. Would you mind leaving now, please? l need to talk to you. l think you've wasted enough of my time. What l did was... very wrong. And stupid. l have no excuses... l did what l did because... -l was scared. -You were a coward! Can you forgive me? You betrayed me! For what? Because you got the shakes? -l was scared. -You don't think l'm scared?! You don't think l'm hanging onto my courage by my fiingernails! Don't touch me! Get away from me! Get out of here! Just go! You're not good enough. l know... l know l'm not. l just... Can you let me love you? Please. Please. Please... Please let me try again. l'm so tired. "The stars are as soft as flowers and as near." "The hills are webs ofshadow..." "...slowly spun." "No separate leafor single blade... All blend into one." l love you. We did it... that was great. -Bye! -Bye! Are you jealous? -You think...? l am notjealous! -Yes you are! Do l look jealous? l am notjealous. l'm a littlejealous. -Wait, check me out. -Excellent! Go! Go! Go! Judges give it a ten! A perfect ten! Charlotte! Doctor! -Mr. Keane... -Tell me. The repeat MRl and CAT scan show interval progression. -The tumor's grown. -Yes. Considerably. lt's begun to obstruct the outflow from her heart. l'm sorry, l wish there was... There's very little we can do. We may be talking about weeks. -Weeks? -l'm sorry. -You said she had a year! -No, l said a year at best. That's not good enough! You said a year! -l want to have a year! -This is inappropriate. Alright, sorry, sorry. You said there would be a point when surgery... -might be an option. -lf Charlotte agrees to it. Let's assume that she did. When would this operation take place? When it's clear we're losing her. -Would you perform it? -l am not a surgeon. The point is notfiinding someone who's qualifiied. lt's fiinding someone who's qualifiied who is willing to do the operation. -Hey! -Hey. -How are you? You okay? -Yes. -How do you feel? -***.
