Annie's Point Page #7

I'm just getting old.

Are you all right?

Oh, I'm fine.

It's been

a long Journey.

Nothing a good

night's sleep

And comfortable bed

won't fix. Ha ha!

Oh, it's really good

to see you, Doug.

Same here.

Now, you're sure

you're all right?

Oh, I'm fine.

'Cause I'm right next door

if you need me.

Fine.

Good night, Annie.

You need

anything else?

Oh, we're fine,

thank you.

Well...

Bye, Annie.

So, let's not let another

30 years go by, ok?

Ok. I'll talk

to you soon.

Wait, Annie.

I just...

I wish so much

That I could've talked

to Eliot one last time.

I'm so sorry I didn't.

But mostly,

I'm sorry that...

I wasn't there for you.

So, even if we

haven't spoken,

You were always

there with me.

Thank you.

Hey.

Happy 50th anniversary.

Thank you.

Have a nice trip.

Come back, ok?

Thank you.

I'm proud of you, Doug.

Eliot would be, too.

Grandma, I think we need to get

you out of this car for a while.

No.

But you look really

uncomfortable.

Ella bear,

in less than two hours,

I'll have more energy than

I'll know what to do with.

Trust me.

Hey.

It's more beautiful

than I remember.

It hasn't changed

one bit.

It's as though we were

here yesterday.

Oh, your grandfather

looked so handsome.

I'm ready to take

grandpa home now.

Brenda?

Yes?

You got the three

wise men on the phone?

Uh-huh.

Great.

Put 'em through.

Ok.

Gentlemen.

Hello, Richard.

Are we all together?

Yes, we're all here.

Good.

Listen, we'd like to

talk to you about...

Let me start out

by saying that,

While I can certainly

appreciate your desire

To see these projects

through to completion,

What I do not appreciate

is being talked to

And treated

like an amateur.

My father put all three of you

on the map, and your companies,

Without ever letting you

down, and I won't, either.

But right now

my family needs me,

And I refuse to

let them down.

So, I will contact you

when I get back to town,

And when that happens,

I will fulfill

all of my obligations,

As I expect you

to fulfill all of yours.

We understand each other?

Yes, we do.

Excellent.

Have a nice day.

Are you sure

this is it?

I'm sure. Heh!

Is it how

you remembered?

It's beautiful.

Well, now I can see what

the fuss was all about.

Hey.

Oh!

Hi, daddy.

Hi, honey.

Thank you, Richard.

I'm sorry you thought

you had to chase me

Clear across country.

But coming here was

very important to me.

When I started

this Journey,

I honestly believed I'd

soon be joining your father.

I guess what I'm

trying to say is...

I'm sorry I made life

so difficult.

You were just

looking for support.

No, I was being selfish.

You were the one doing

your best to help.

But now that I'm here,

I feel reborn.

And I owe a lot

of that to Ella.

Ohh.

She's just like

her mother.

Well, and she's also

just like her father.

You're a good dad,

Richard.

Your father would be

proud of you.

Wow.

Yeah. Dad told me

about this.

He wanted you

to have it.

Thanks.

I'll only be a minute.

Oh, Eliot, we made it!

And on time!

Wasn't able to finish

the picture, Eliot.

I was afraid I forgot

what the place looks like.

But it's the same,

isn't it?

Ohh!

Oh, I miss you,

my dear.

You could always

make me laugh.

I heard you sing.

I know.

You were really, really good.

I wish your mom

could've heard you.

I think she did.

I miss her so much.

I've never been able

to let her go.

But that's no excuse for me to

be as hard on you as I've been.

You're just being a dad. Yeah.

And, as your dad,

I need to tell you that...

You don't have to go

back to school.

I just need something

else right now.

But I promise I won't leave

you in the dark anymore.

I'll let you know

what I'm feeling...

Whether you like it or not.

Ok.

Let's go see how

your grandma's doing.

Mom? You ok?

Mom?

Grandma!

Mom!

Are you ok?

Can't an old woman

take a nap without a fuss?

Ohh, for a minute

there, I, uh...

Thought maybe...

You thought what?

Well...

That I came

all this way to die?

Are you kidding me?

Did you take your medication?

What do I tell you every

time you ask? Sorry.

You can be a bit of a pest.

But I know you mean well.

Shall we?

Happy anniversary, my love.

The end
