Arizona Dream Page #7

You came here to make my mother happy.

Don't talk anymore!

- Axel.

- Turn around!

- Turn around!

- You know what! Axel!

I had a friend

who was just like you.

When we were little,

we were rollerskating on my roof.

Huge... huge roof.

No people.

And I would keep rollerskating

and each time, I'd get closer to the edge...

And he was standing behind me...

- Oh, God!

- ...just like you...

...and never let me go.

Okay.

It's okay.

I have a game for you.

- Okay.

- Okay.

Old game.

Strict rules.

Okay.

Okay.

- It's your turn.

- No.

You don't say no to this game.

- No.

- Okay. Okay, I'll take your turn. Okay.

Grace.

Grace... please!

- Grace!

- Shh.

- Don't.

- It's a game, Axel.

- Stop! Don't do it, please!

- Shh.

My mother's sleeping.

- Okay, Axel, Look.

- F*** you!

- Look at me!

- F*** you!

No!

Here. Take it.

I don't want it.

What... what are you?

Afraid?

No, Grace, I'm not afraid of anything.

I... I just don't feel like dying.

- But that's not fair.

- That's not fair.

No! You came here to kill me...

...and we're playing a game right now,

you're breaking the rules!

Axel, what are you,

like this frightened little boy?

You're just afraid of everything?

Huh?

Axel? You're just afraid, huh?

You're just a little boy, huh?

Oh, you're so scared.

Come on!

Take the gun!

Take it!

Go!

You don't!

No, Axel!

You can't do that!

That's breaking the rules!

Axel.

It's gonna be okay.

Do you see...

You people...

Gazing at me...

You see a doll on a music box

that's found by a key...

How can you tell...

I'm under a spell...

I'm waiting for love's first kiss...

You cannot see...

How much I long to be free...

Turning around on this music box

that's found by a key...

Turning...

Yearning...

I'm... I'm...

Turning around and around...

And around...

And around...

And...

Thank you,

ladies and gentlemen!

Our next act,

Mr. Paul Ledger!

- Le... Leger. Leger. Paul Leger.

- Paul Leger!

Uh...

My n... Hello.

My name is Paul Leger.

A lot of you may be wondering

what Leger means.

A lot of you may be wondering

what kind of name it is.

Is it Italian?

Or is it Swedish?

Well, actually, it's a French name,

and it literally means...

..."Born to act."

And that's exactly

what I'm gonna do for you...

...uh... this evening.

I'm gonna be

Alfred Hitchcock style.

I'm gonna be performing from the master's

classic, "North by Norths... Northwest."

The famous scene in which Alfred...

The famous scene in which Cary Grant

is being chased by a crop-dusting plane.

F***!

Sh*t!

- Thank you very much, Paul Leger!

- I'm not... I'm not done!

The judges are.

I'm not done yet!

I'm not done!

- Come on!

- I'm not done yet!

Thank you! Oh!

Thank you! Thank you!

A one? One? I was brilliant!

Can't you see brilliance?

A one? You... you see that!

I should have got a ten!

A ten! And give me a one?

A one? What? On amateur night?

- Axel! Axel, I really have to talk to you.

- Hi, Millie. Hi, Millie. You sit down.

A one?

What do you know about art?

- Yeah! Can we go over there?

- Sure. Sure.

Hey! Uh...

- Elaine. This is Elaine. This is Millie.

- Hi.

- Hello.

- Leo's... Leo's... uh...

- ...fiance.

- Oh!

This is Grace.

- Hi.

- Grace, this is Millie.

Hi.

Alright. Okay.

Leo?

Leo!

- Where is he, Millie? Leo!

- Leo?

He's over here.

He's locked himself in the bedroom.

Leo, can I come in?

Open the door, Leo!

- Open up!

- Go away!

- Let's go inside.

- Alright. One... two... three!

Leo?

Leo!

Millie! Get an...

get an ambulance, Millie!

You're okay.

You're okay.

Shouldn't I say something?

- To who?

- Your parents.

It's her mark.

They're dead, Leo.

Yes, I know that, but...

should I say something or not?

- Don't talk like that. You're gonna be fine.

- Yes, I know, I'm gonna be fine.

Promise me that you'll take

care of Millie after the funeral.

Don't say that!

Don't talk, just promise.

Alright, I promise.

Good, now that that's taken care of,

I want you to buy yourself...

...a few nice suits

and go back to New York.

I wanna stay with you.

I wanna sell cars.

I don't want you to sell cars!

You're gonna grow up soon enough!

I am grown up, Leo.

I love you.

Leo! Leo!

Oh, I'm okay. I'm just...

...just stacking cars.

I need you to help me.

It's too late.

They're not driving

the big models anymore.

Leo, we can work in the showroom

together, we can sell cars together...

...you and me.

- It's too late, Axel, the dream is over.

- I've been practicing my "hellos," Leo.

You wanna hear my "Hellos"?

Leo?

I gotta start climbing.

It's a long way, Axel.

It's a long way to the moon.

Leo!

Leo!

Leo...

You never came back.

There was a lot of legal stuff

to take care of. I'm sorry.

So not even a phone call?

I know, Elaine. I just, you know,

got caught up in everything what was going on.

I'm really sorry. I wanted to

call a thousand times, you know.

I'm really sorry.

So what you just... um... make you decide

to pop over? For a quick cup of coffee?

You can't just waltz over here

and tell me you feel like it.

- Elaine, please, it's your birthday tomorrow.

- Well...

- Please.

- ...what do you care? What do you care?

'Cause my uncle died, I'm sorry...

- ...I didn't come back sooner...

- Well, well, look.

- ...but I had to, you know...

- If you're looking for sympathy...

- ...take care of the funeral and everything.

- ...you've come to the wrong place.

It's the wrong place to come,

if you're looking for sympathy.

Okay?

Is that okay with you?

Please, let me

to celebrate your birthday.

What do you care?

What do you...

what do you care, huh?

Well, look!

You know what you should do?

You should just turn around... turn around

and go back where you came from.

Just go back

where you came from, okay?

How's Millie, huh?

Millie?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

- What did you say? Tell me to go?

- Well... well... you... you...

Are you just going?

You're just gonna go now?

- Just go now?

- What did you say?

Are you just gonna leave the hell

or you're going for now?

You're going for long time,

how long you're going for?

- Are you going forever?

- Do I stay, or you want me to go?

- What do you want?

- I...

- What do you want?

- I want you to go! I want you to go!

- Fine!

- I want you...

I want you to come!

So what do you wanna do?

You wanna go or you wanna stay?

I wanna stay.

I don't think

you need this right now.

You know?

She'll be okay. She just gets like

this, some time she'll be alright.

Um... Alright, but I'm not

staying in there tonight, okay?

Elaine?

It's gonna be okay.

Nothing is gonna be okay!

Come on!

Hey... uh...

Elaine! Wait, wait, wait!

I... I brought you a present.

- I don't want it!

- You don't even know what it is, Elaine!

Elaine, you don't know what it is.

- Come on, Elaine, please. Just take it.

- I don't want it.

- I don't want it.

- It's a present!

- I don't want it!

- Please! It's a present!
