Barbie as Rapunzel Page #9

-Remember that?

-I do, indeed.

They knocked that wall down.

You were so insecure.

Do you remember that?

Yeah, I wanted to impress you.

I remember the date,

it was

It was a Friday. I forget nothing.

No, you don't. Of course, you loved me then.

Oh, don't say "then" just like that. "Then."

You make it sound like another lifetime.

Thank you.

I mean, we've been through

so much together.

Sally's various growing pains,

and the loss of Paul.

Let's not talk about it.

Well, we got each other through it,

didn't we?

Not quite.

Helena, is there any chance

that we could begin again?

What?

I made a terrible mistake.

My life is so messed up.

I can't tell you how messed up it is.

But, Alfie, you're recently married.

I know. I blundered. I made a stupid mistake.

I screwed up.

I'm so f***ing scared of being alone.

Excuse me, but...

And then I saw my life slipping away,

and I panicked.

Alfie, you'll live again.

We don't just live one life.

The world is far more mysterious

than it appears to our eyes.

What are you talking about?

I've lived before.

Cristal pointed it out and it's clear to me,

and to Jonathan.

Who's Jonathan?

Jonathan is a gentleman

I've been keeping company with.

So you've met someone else, have you?

Yes. Someone who shares

my spiritual ideals.

For God's sake, come on.

All I'm saying is that...

I want you back. I need you.

I have a new life. I've moved on.

You have a new wife. You're married.

And I'm sure she'll give you

the son you've always wanted.

What the hell is going on here?

-Nothing.

-Where are you going? F*** off.

Alfie, Alfie!

Don't touch me! You want some?

He was just trying to... No!

Ray? Help!

F***!

If you can hear me, Claire Wunch,

make yourself known.

Is that you, Claire?

If the spirit is Claire, please signal,

one for yes, two for no.

Are you all right, Claire? Are you happy?

I still love you very much, Claire.

Do you care for me?

Ask her.

I will always care for you, my darling Claire.

-Ask her, Jonathan.

-Just wait.

Claire, I've always been faithful.

I love you.

Ask her about us.

Yes. I don't want to upset her.

You said you needed her permission.

Ask her.

Claire, you know you've always been the one.

-I can't.

-Ask her, for Christ's sake!

Please. Please, this is difficult for me.

I still love the woman.

Helena! Please, Helena!

Boys, here she is.

Guys, meet Dia, my muse and future wife.

Hello, Dia. Where's he been hiding you?

Have you been

in the Witness Protection Program?

It's like you dropped off the world

or something.

Give me a break. Give me a break.

Look, my marriage broke up,

I've had to move out,

-my novel's being rushed into print.

-That's right.

And I've been exploring the erogenous zones

of this incredible creature.

I hear wonderful things about your book.

When do we read it?

There'll be freebies for everybody.

Who can blame me if I've been a little

overwhelmed by events of the last month?

I wanted to get to the funeral. I just couldn't.

That whole thing was so tragic.

I mean, it was just so awful.

How is Mike coming?

You know, people come out

of comas sometimes and they're okay.

It happens.

No, Mike's not in a coma.

-Don't tell me he died.

-Yeah, he did.

Oh, God.

Or was it for the best

if he was going to be a vegetable?

No, Mike was never in a coma.

He died straightaway.

Strangler's in the coma.

What are you talking about?

Mike died instantly.

Strangler's the one who's in the coma.

No. I thought you told me that Strangler died.

No, no, no. No!

Either you misunderstood,

or, you know, I was so hysterical.

Well, you know they pulled the bodies out.

Maybe I said Strangler.

Maybe I did.

But, no, first... I mean, in fact

they thought at first that it was Strangler.

But that's the confusion.

That's the confusion

because we thought, yes, but no.

Strangler is in a coma,

but they think that there's a good chance

that he could come out of it.

Yes. He had an awful trauma,

and the truth is at first

they thought it was hopeless,

but now, touch wood, it's

Yeah. I mean, of course, how he turns out

if he does come out of it is anybody's guess.

I mean, he could be a cabbage.

No, they say there's a good chance

he could be okay.

It depends. It's a mysterious area.

They can't really predict.

Hey! They just had on television

three people in comas after long periods.

They all came out of it. They were all fine.

One of them went back to being a teacher.

Strangler's trauma wasn't as terrible

as everyone thought to begin with.

In fact, it could go either way. Are you okay?

What's happening, Roy?

You've just suddenly turned white.

-Are you okay?

-I need something to drink.

Listen, Roy, the doctors encourage people

to visit him and talk to him.

They think that maybe he can hear.

So, we're going to go down later this week.

Why don't you come along?

Because he was very fond of you. Yeah?

-Okay, yeah.

-Okay. We'll go.

I've got to see a doctor!

I think I've put my back out!

I've broken a rib. Jesus!

I've broken a rib.

Alfie, can we just leave it now?

-Let's move on. Yeah?

-No.

Nothing happened! I mean...

I mean, I know it looked bad,

and your face hurts and all,

but can you just stop being angry?

I am angry! Jesus Christ.

Don't be angry,

'cause I've got something to tell you

that's gonna make you so happy.

Alfie?

-What?

-I'm pregnant.

-A child?

-Yeah.

-You're going to have a child?

-Yes.

A baby.

How can I be sure it's mine?

'Cause I've been telling you!

Alfie, I've been telling you!

He forced himself on me!

I couldn't get away!

He said he was gonna teach me

some stretching exercises.

I can't move 'cause I'm so scared,

I'm in shock.

I can't move my body,

and he's kissing me so much, I can't scream.

You should be over the moon.

It's what you wanted.

How long have you been sleeping with him?

And who else? How many others?

What do you think I am?

There are tests. There are DNA tests.

I'll have the baby tested.

I am not having my baby tested.

It's yours!

I'll believe that when I have it tested.

Please, don't make me angrier

than I am at you.

Those tests aren't even

Yes, it is.

And for all our sakes,

I'd better be the father. Believe me.

What's the difference?

You always wanted a kid.

I want a son. I lost a son.

I lost a little boy. I want it to be my son.

You understand?

Who's going to know?

I'll know,

if it's a boy

and if I decide to have it tested.

Mum!

Hello?

What are you doing?

Didn't you hear me ringing?

I do believe that I existed in a prior life,

a happier life, Sally.

I get intimations of it all the time.

I was about to embark

on an adventure with a stranger.
