20th Century Women Page #7

Julie just called me,

they are in San Luis Obispo,

she doesn't know where he is.

She can't find him.

I...

- Would you drive me?

- Yes, I will.

- Out there?

- Yeah let's go..

- Will you come?

- Yes.

I'm sorry...

He came back.

He's right there.

Okay... Okay.

It's okay.

Well...

Julie is... pretty complicated woman.

It's a lot to take on.

I'm impressed in a way.

Whatever.

Aren't you going to get Julie?

To come talk with me?

- Jamie?

- What?

I thought they'd help.

Well..It just seemed like you couldn't

deal with me anymore.

Look.

I wanted... I...

Look, I...

I don't want you to end up

in the same place as me.

- What does that mean?

- Well, I wanted you to be happier.

And I just didn't think I could do it by

myself. I...

You're right.

I thought we were fine though

just me and you.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Okay. Come...

Come and dance with your mom.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Bye.

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.

So maybe we don't go back yet?

Okay.

- Were you and Dad ever in love?

- Sure.

Or um...

Maybe I was just...

I thought that was supposed

to be in love. Or..

I was scared I'd never be in love.

So I...

I just pick the

best solution at the time.

- I want to bleach my hair.

- Kid...

- Really?

- Yeah.

Okay.

Are you lonely?

Well... I might marry Bogart.

In my next life...

We'll see.

I'm thinking about it.

He is dead.

Well...

This is my next life, right? So...

He may be there... may be around, and

we might meet and..

something might happen between us.

Okay..

You can't have it in the real world?

Hey, this is no time

to be rational, sweetie.

- Can you just go with this?

- Yeah, keep going.

Okay.

So he knows what I'm thinking...

And he makes me laugh...

And... he really sees me.

And... You know that he's gonna do

what he says he's gonna do.

- So that's easy...

- It Sounds nice.

Yeah.

Yeah...

I thought that was just the beginning of

a new relationship with her.

where she'd really tell me stuff.

But maybe it was never

really like that again.

Maybe that was it.

In March of 1999, I'll start

to feel tired and confused.

When I finally go to the doctor,

he will say that the

cancer in my lungs...

had already traveled to my breast and brain.

I'll try to teach Jamie what to do

with my stocks.

but my instructions will be

impossible to understand.

Abbie will take me to Planned

Parenthood...

And I will go on the pill.

I will go to NYU and lose touch

with Jamie and Dorothea.

and I will stop talking to my mom.

I will fall in love with Nicholas.

We will move to Paris.

and choose not to have children.

I'll stay in Santa Barbara.

In just two years I will marry Dave.

A month after I get married

Carlotta will die.

A week later... Max will die too.

I will work out of my garage.

and show in local galleries.

Against my doctor's advice,

I will get pregnant..

by the time I'm 34

I'll have two boys...

I'll live with Dorothea

for another year.

And then I'll open a pottery store.

In Sedona, Arizona.

I will marry Laurie

a singer-songwriter...

We'll get divorced a year...

Then I'll meet Sandy.

And continue to do my pottery.

My mom will meet Jim in 1983...

they'll stay a couple until she dies.

On her birthday each year,

he will buy her a trip on a biplane.

Years after she's gone...

I'll finally get married

and have a son.

I'll try to explain to him what his

grandmother was like.

but it will be impossible.
