-This is perfect for Gwen.|-I can't accept unsolicited material.

Just warning you it'll be a bit of a fight.|I'll do what I can.

God help us.

Commercial break. When we come back,|you know the scenario.

I've been here before Larry.

When the tape rolls,|look right at that camera.

Talk right to the caller.

-Right down the tube.|-Okay, five seconds.

Let's go to phone calls on Larry King Live.

White Plains, you're on the air|with Gwen Harrison.

Hi, Larry.

Gwen, hi. I used to be a big fan...

...but I'm sorry, I can't get over what|happened with you and Eddie. I'm so sick.

I can't sleep at night. How can you?

Well....

You sleep next to a very handsome|young Spanish gentleman, don't you?

Let's go to our next call.|Rock lsland, Illinois. Hello.

Hi Larry. Gwen, I saw your latest movie.

Thank you.

I couldn't sit through it.|I can't watch you without Eddie, it's not the same.

This has to be hard to hear. Your last|two movies, ones without Eddie...

...crashed and burned at the box office.

They were very big in Europe|and huge in Japan, actually.

It's got to be tough.|Two unsuccessful movies in a row.

Lots of intrigue, lots of whispers,|lots of talk.

What happens if this one tanks?

I hate Larry King.|Why did I do his stupid show?

-Just breathe.|-I don't want to breathe.

"Your last two movies|crashed and burned."

I wanted to choke him to death|with those stupid suspenders.

-Everyone hates me.|-No one hates you.

The lighting was great.|You looked great. Everybody said so.

-Who?|-You looked great.

Thanks. As if she really knows.

Have a sip of water.|It'll make you feel better.

Is this the one with the electrolytes?|I only like that water.

-Larry said you were amazing.|-Thank you.

I love Larry.

Let's love him down to the dressing room.

-Black or white?|-White.

And those glasses.|Who wears frames that big anymore?

He looks like a bug.

I just want this week to be over.

Why can't the world accept the fact|I don't want to be with Eddie anymore?

I just want to scream at people,|"Get a life!"

-I want this week to be over. Is it?|-Almost. Push.

I'm sorry.

I smell smoke. Is somebody smoking?

-I don't know.|-It's probably Larry.

-How many heart attacks has he had?|-Six? Maybe seven?

Can we just go?|I don't want to be here anymore.

-Those are beautiful.|-Okay.

I got a call from Lee today.

-Who's Lee?|-The studio's publicist. You remember.

-I do?|-Remember were you were doing Letterman?

You got upset when they bumped your|show off the air due to the Gulf War.

He was there.|He got you that English toffee.

I remember the English toffee. Great toffee.

We'll get you some when you meet|with him to talk about the junket.

-Oh, God. Do I have to?|-Meet with him? Yes, you have to.

It's not fair. All this pressure on me|and none whatsoever on Eddie.

He's probably having the time of his life.

This letter is a very important part|of the healing process.

Writing to your mother,|you have the opportunity to thank her...

...or forgive her or ask her why she did|the things she did.

Don't mail the letter.

The simple act of putting it on paper|frees you...

...allows you to let go.

Now, what did you say to your mother?

"Dear Mom:

"F*** you."

Okay. We'll try the letter some other time.

Are you comfortable|speaking about Gwen?

-Do you think I should?|-There is no "should."

-Do you think I can?|-What is "can"?

All right.

There was this place in Chinatown.

Tiny little place.

We'd go there and they wouldn't bother us.

We'd order wonton soup and crumpled|duck and sit there for hours, talking.

She took him there.

She took him to our crumpled duck.

I followed them and I saw him|pouring the soup and smiling....

It was a total accident.

Next thing, she told the press I tried to kill|her. That's crazy. She loves to overreact.

We have a saying, Edward.

"Mecka lecka halava beem sala beem."

What is that? Bean salad?

What does that mean?

I don't know what it means. It's very old.

I feel like I'm making progress.|I feel more secure.

A lot more secure.|Do I seem more secure?

You look great. Whatever the doctors|are doing, it's working.

You got colour in your face. I'm in love.

They say two weeks here|changes your entire life.

-When are two weeks up?|-Six and a half months ago.

I feel I'm getting close to something.

I can see that.

Did you watch Larry King last night?

I was in the isolation tank. No TV in there.

The reason I bring it up is Gwen was on.

She took kind of a beating.

She did, did she?

You, young lady,|are nobody without Eddie!

Nobody likes you!

Never, never go anywhere without Eddie.|You're nothing.

You're nothing!

Get her out of here. Now! Nothing!

I'm so sorry, Larry.

I guess she got what she deserved.

Why are you doing here? This isn't you.

Kiss Gandhi goodbye|and get ready for the junket.

I won't go! I'm not ready.

The studio and the movie need you.

I don't care about the studio or the movie.|How is it? ls it good?

I've only seen a bit in the beginning.|It's fantastic.

Hold it up to your ear,|you'll scream "Oscar."

-I'm telling you.|-No, I'm not going.

Gwen will be there.

You want to see her?

-No. It's too soon.|-It's a year and a half.

Confront her. Get it over with.|She fell in love with another guy.

It happens.

Never to me, but if it did, I wouldn't|spend my life hiding like some p*ssy!

I'm not a p*ssy.|I'm in the middle of my treatment.

This is serious stuff.|My wellness guide won't let me just go.

-You can go.|-Are you sure?

Two nights ago you said I was the flower that fell into the|stream, but a branch is blocking my way.

Do you take that back?

You read too much into what I say.|Don't listen to my words, listen to your own heart.

-I'm the flower. I don't want to go.|-You're a funny man. We'll miss you here.

-Don't forget to be grateful.|-I'm grateful.

I'm grateful for the sun,|for the stars in the sky.

I'd be grateful if we could get going.

-Why don't you wait in the car?|-Okay.

I am the flower.

I'm the flower.

-He kills me with his humour.|-Does he?

Listen, chief, I want to thank you|for all your help.

-You'll get the car within 10 days.|-Convertible.

Convertible, leather interior, fully loaded.|You'll enjoy it.

He'll get through this okay, right?

Life is a cookie.

I'll take that as a "yes."

Okay. All right.

Come on, Eddie!

All right, buddy.

Ready to go? Here we go.

-Does Gwen know I'm going to the junket?|-It was her idea.

Absolutely. She's really excited.

Not in a million years.|If that demented pig is there, no way.

-Eddie was just temporarily insane.|-Don't stick up for him.

-Kiki, look at you.|-Hi, Lee.

-How are you?|-Good.

-You look fabulous.|-Thank you.

What did you do? ls it your hair?

It's my hair, and a little sun.

She lost 60 pounds.

And I lost a little weight.

I see that. You look terrific.

Sixty pounds.

-That's a Backstreet Boy.|-Right.

Are you here to talk to me?

Of course. I'm sorry. Eddie is not demented.
