A Little Bit of Heaven Page #5

- Hi, Dr Sanders.

I'll grab an appetizer.

- She's a brave girl.

- Yeah.

You know she quit the trial.

NO, I... I didn't know that.

It seems to me that your patient's

having an easier time

keeping emotion out of this decision

then you are.

I'm just trying to save her life.

What else am I supposed to do?

Why did you invite her here?

Because there's patients, survivors.

It's a fund raiser for cancer.

The line is there for a reason, Doctor.

Not just for the patients.

You'll need to think about

what you're doing.

- Hey, can I?

- Yes, sir.

Thank you.

What did I miss?

- Do you wanna get out of here?

- Yeah, I know just the place.

First dinner, then a surprise.

Let's go.

What... a surprise in a dark alley?

- Do you really know where we're going?

- Yeah, I do.

Where are you taking me?

Come on.

In all the years you've been here,

you've never been

to a little place called Paradise.

Hey, hey.

Hey, Marley. Hey.

- Hey. Wow.

- Don't worry, they don't bite

much.

Isn't this fun?

- Hey, hey, hey.

- Are you new in town?

Hey-

Marley.

Hey-

Hey, no, wait.

No, wait, wait, wait.

You look amazing.

You're such a tranny magnet.

If I wasn't there, you could have

for sure gotten some action.

I know.

Actually, you know that Adam?

She was kind of hot, no?

Yeah.

Ahhh.

Where did you go?

Do you believe in God?

- Wow.

- No, really.

Okay, if you ask me, Dr Julian Goldstein,

if I believe in God...

I mean, I believe in science

and in empirical evidence, so,

no, I don't believe in a higher power.

But if you ask me, Julian,

I'd say I don't know.

Why?

I envy people who do.

They're so sure

that something exists.

What a great way to live.

Without fear.

What are you afraid of?

- No.

- Come on. Come on.

I want to know.

- The whole list?

- How about the top three?

Fine.

I'm afraid if I die

my Mom will never recover.

Okay.

I worry about who'd take care

of my dog.

Anything else?

I'm scared this entire night

is gonna go by without you kissing me.

Ah.

So this is a date, right?

Yeah... It's just that I...

they don't wanna...

I quit the trial.

I know.

- Why?

- I want to enjoy quality of life.

Besides, and you're gonna think

I'm crazy, but Whoopi Goldberg...

She is a lady who knows

what she's talking about.

- You don't.

- Right.

Coming from a guy

with a yo-yo collection.

What?

You don't like yo-yos?

You have a problem

against yo-yos?

Well, let me show you.

Okay.

You really are the biggest dork

I've ever slept with.

That's a very nice thing of you to say,

but it's afar better compliment

if you leave dork out of that sentence.

You are the biggest

I have ever slept with.

What a trick!

What a trick!

Yeah, yeah, I know, but I...

I know you're fed up

life don't let up for us

all they talk about

is what's going down

and what's been messed up for us

when I look around

I see blue skies

I see butterflies for us

listen to the sound

and lose it

its sweet music

and dance with me I

'Cause there is beauty in the world.)

(Julian):
Stanley, out, out.

so much beauty in the world

so shake your booty boys and girls

for the beauty in the world

pick your diamond

pick your pearl

there is beauty in the world

All together now

Wee!

- Hey, do not look over.

- Okay.

Do you see those two guys

talking to Julian?

Okay, look now.

Stop. Stop looking.

I'm having drinks

with Clark Kent tonight.

And dinner with Superman tomorrow.

Oh boy, you have taken my whore crown

and are wearing it so well.

It's a little big.

I've been wearing it as a belt.

Ahh!

You know, actually, Renee's life

is looking pretty good to me lately.

Marley, I...

I'm sorry, Marley, I don't know.

I just... I'm sorry.

Sssh. It's okay.

Oh, that's sweet, isn't it?

Let's put it right in here

with your name on it.

What do you think Martha Stewart

would think of my arrangement, Stanley?

Okay.

Maybe I could quit planning parties

and do my own flower arrangements.

You're home early.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah, it's fine.

- Did something happen?

- I'm going back to bed.

Did you and Julian have a fight?

No.

Do you want to talk about it?

Maybe I could help.

Right. 'Cause you're the expert

in relationships.

Mom, please, not now.

I may have made a mistake

marrying your father.

May have?

The man is emotionally constipated.

I'm grateful he gave me you.

Oh, my goodness.

Can I have a big hug?

Oh.

Mmm.

- Hey.

- Did she tell you?

God, my mother is a walking mouth.

- A walking mouth.

- Hello, Cammie.

- You look very pretty today.

- What do you tell him?

- And I'm smart.

- Good girl. Good girl.

Oooh!

Oh grody, he's peeing!

So what was this morning about?

- I don't know. I couldn't sleep.

- I know.

- But why?

- Well, a reminder: I'm dying.

Yeah okay, and I haven't helped you,

um,

get in touch with all the...

the anger and...

You know what? Just stop.

I'm so not in the mood

for a lecture right now.

Hey! It's obvious that you're scared.

It's normal. It's fine.

Is it normal for doctors

to screw their patients?

We had a good time.

Let's just leave it at that.

Wow!

- Whoa, already past tense.

- Well,

reality check:
It's going to be

past tense soon enough.

- Hey, Marley...

- Mmm.

I love you.

Oh, great.

Fantastic.

You love me.

What kind of guy

falls in love with a dying girl?

Don't diminish what's going on

between us. Okay?

- I know what I'm feeling.

- I do too.

I feel smothered

and I need you to back off!

No, no...

- Ow!

- Are you okay?

Leave me alone!

- Come on, let me help you.

- I said:
Leave me the hell alone!

- I'm sorry, sweetie.

- I wanna go home.

I know.

I'm gonna take you home right now.

I'm sorry.

Let me see.

Let me see that beautiful face.

- Let me see...

- Hey, you're back early.

- Hi, Mommy.

- Hi, pumpkin. Did you all have fun?

- You're having a party.

- No.

Some of the other moms dropped by.

Sort of an impromptu thing.

It's not contagious, you know.

Of course not.

Um... why don't you go back

and play for a little bit.

- Bye, sweetie, I love you.

- Bye.

I've just been really busy, you know.

With the baby coming and...

Oh, really? You obviously have time

for those women in there.

- That's different. They're...

- What? They're fat, boring and

- not dying?

- Okay.

Want me to make this

more palatable for you?

- That's not what I want

- Are you just

angry because you're going

to have to find a new babysitter?

Yeah.

Come on.

That's exactly what I'm angry about.

They could fire you

on the first day.

Oh, yeah?

- Hey, the zoo, how was it?

- Oh, you know. It was fantastic.

Um, Marley, this is Matt. My friend

who moved here from Brooklyn.

Nice to meet you.

Peter's told me a lot about you.

Really?

- Did he tell you I was dying?

- Yeah.

A couple more weeks

and I'm out of here.

Why don't you take a look

at my apartment.

Then maybe you guys

can be neighbours and love buddies.

Excuse me.

Babe.

- What are you doing?
