A Life Less Ordinary Page #8

---

Just run, Robert, run!

ROBERT:
It's probably

in the canoe, Mr. Naville.

That's probably where it is.

It's not in the canoe, sir...

but I think it's, uh, upstairs.

I think it's upstairs.

Might've put it there.

They probably left it

under the bed.

That would be a good place.

Tsk tsk tsk.

I don't think he has it...

Mr. Naville.

ROBERT:
No. I...

that's it!

That's where it is!

That's where it was.

I put it under that board.

I'll have your money back to you

in a minute, Mr. Naville, sir.

Board up, and then

we'll get it back to you.

NAVILLE:
We're just gonna have

to face the truth, Robert.

You don't have my money.

ROBERT:
Yeah, it's down here,

all right, Mr. Naville, sir.

Just where I left it.

NAVILLE:

And frankly, I don't care.

It's just a detail.

ROBERT:
You'll have your money

back in a second, sir.

NAVILLE:
Long as you understand

that it isn't the money.

It's the principle.

CELINE:
Somebody please

just let me out of here!

Mayhew, not with the ax.

This is Gabriel.

Get me God.

MAYHEW:
Let's go. Come on!

Come on, come on!

Robert, what happened was

you shot them, and then you...

Did he just move?

MAYHEW:
No, sir.

In all respect, sir, how could

anything be beyond your control?

Anyway, you shot them...

then you shot...

You sure he didn't move?

MAYHEW:
I'm quite sure, sir.

Yes, sir.

No, sir.

[Creak]

MAYHEW:
Sir?

Please.

NAVILLE:
Yeah, quite.

Yeah, right.

[Gasps]

Mayhew, she's moved.

She's moved.

I saw it with my own eyes.

Yes, sir.

Thank you, sir.

MAYHEW:
They are both dead, sir.

I shot them myself.

I won't disturb you again.

Yahoo!

CELINE:
Who's that?

Robert?

NAVILLE:
You shot them...

and then you shot yourself,

and then...

you set fire to this cabin.

Didn't you?

CELINE:
Not yet, he didn't.

NAVILLE:
Celine.

Why...

Why don't you just

put that gun down, hmm?

Do not get in my way, father.

Celine...

you're not responsible

for your actions.

You're unhinged.

You need the best

psychiatric treatment...

that money can buy...

just like your mother.

So why don't you just...

[Creak]

Why don't you just

give me the gun?

Because as he dreamt...

I shall save his life

with an arrow...

an arrow of my love for him.

Kill him, Mayhew.

[Cheering]

Ezekiel!

He's alive, Mayhew.

They're all alive.

GLADYS KNIGHT SINGING:

If I were your woman

And you were my man

You'd have no other woman

You'd be weak as a lamb

If you had the strength

To walk out that door

My love would overrule my sense

And I'd call you back for more

If I were your woman

CELINE:
So you're telling me

that successful relationships...

are made in heaven?

Not founded

on the daily practicality...

of two people being prepared...

to tolerate the imperfections

of one another?

It's not successful

relationships, Celine.

It's love. And it comes from

a strange and wonderful place...

that we don't know about.

So you also reject the idea...

that love is merely

an emotional adaptation...

to a physical necessity?

Completely.

Are you serious?

Fate intervenes

in people's lives.

In ours, for instance.

Fate brought us together.

It kept us together.

We were destined

for one another.

Fate had a pretty strange way

of making its point.

But that's

part of the beauty of it.

It's inexplicable,

unpredictable...

and absolutely beyond control

or understanding.

But you nearly got killed.

But I didn't...

and here we are.

Do you have any substantial

evidence to back all this?

None at all.

And you realize

that it's absurd and irrational?

I know that.

Then why do you believe it?

Because, Celine, I'm a dreamer.

Well, I guess

that makes two of us.

Are you ready?

As I'll ever be.

Then let's go.

GLADYS KNIGHT:

But I'm too afraid to show it

If I were your woman

BACKGROUND SINGERS:

If you were my woman

GLADYS KNIGHT:

If I were your woman

BACKGROUND SINGERS:

If you were my woman

GLADYS KNIGHT:

If I were your woman

BACKGROUND SINGERS:

If you were my woman

[Crowd cheering]

GLADYS KNIGHT:

Never, no, no, no

Stop loving you

Oh, yeah

If I were your woman

Do you know what I'd do?

I'd never, never, never

stop loving you

If I were your woman

Your sweet loving woman

BACKGROUND SINGERS:

If you were my woman

GLADYS KNIGHT:

If I were your woman

BACKGROUND SINGERS:

If you were my woman

GLADYS KNIGHT:

I'd be your only woman

BACKGROUND SINGERS:

If you were my woman

GLADYS KNIGHT:

If I were your woman

BACKGROUND SINGERS:

If you were my woman

GLADYS KNIGHT:

You'd need no other woman

GLADYS KNIGHT:

You'd need no other woman

GABRIEL:
All clear.

[Both gasping]

So, how was it?

O'REILLY:
Believe me, Gabriel.

You don't want to know.

- But it worked.

- Yeah.

Love...

worked.

Ameratus pathum laborium.

Are we going home now?

We're going home.

At last.

Ohh!

OASIS SINGING:
The paper boy

is looking before he goes

Lying to the teacher

who knows he knows

He didn't, and he should've

brought his lines in yesterday

Ernie bangs the sound

as the day begins

The letterbox is open,

and your cash falls in

Aah!

I'll meet you at the office

just before the staff clock in

Round our way

The birds are singing

Round our way

The sun shines bright

Aah!

Round our way

The birds sing for you

'Cause they already know you

Yeah, they already know you

The game is kicking off

in around the park

It's twenty-five a side,

and before it's dark

There's gonna be a loser

And you know the next goal wins

Cab it to the front

As it's called a draw

Everybody's knocking

at yours once more

Ernie bangs the sound

And no one's spoken

since half past four

La la la la la la la

Round our way

the birds are singing

Round our way

the sun shines bright

Round our way

the birds sing for you

'Cause they already know you

Yeah, they already know you

BECK SINGING:
On the highway

Unpaved

Going my way

You're so alone today

Like a ghost town

I found there's no relief

No soul to mercy

Is it true what they say?

You can't behave

You gamble your soul away

Measuring your dreams

Oh, this life seems

Like the gristle of loneliness

Do do do do

Don't let the sun

catch you crying

Do do do do do

Don't let the sun

catch you crying

Like an ice age

Nice days on your way

Sipping the golden dregs

On a riptide

Freaks ride

Sleep inside

A parasite's appetite

Oh, say, can't you see

The chemistry?

The parasites, the cleanup fee

Death metal hands

Recycled cans

Get well cards

to the hostage vans

Don't let the sun

catch you crying

Do do do do do

Don't let the sun

catch you crying

LUSCIOUS JACKSON SINGING:

I got a magical ray

That reads you

like a book, yeah

You got a mystic pen

that sends me the message

Tests of my strength

Are pretty much all I know

For the rest of my life,

I will be climbing somewhere

Climbing

Climbing

Somewhere

Somewhere

And I have no fear

I have no fear

'Cause love is here

Love is here

Love is here

Love is here

Love is...

Did you know

that I'm looking at you now
