Birth Page #3

- Uh, no.

- I'm gonna let them in.

- Pretend I'm not here.

- They have an appointment too.

- Sure.

This is a four-bedroom apartment.

The kitchen's back here.

And if you come this way, the moldings

and the wall fixtures are original.

This is the first bedroom.

Isn't it spacious?

I just love the light.

I hope you weren't too worried.

No. I'm fine.

If it's okay with you.

I think he should hear the music tonight

and know that we're getting married.

I'll bring him back later.

Great.

Tell him I love him.

Bye.

What are you doing?

I'm looking at my wife.

I want you to leave.

I'd like you to stop that.

It's not a funny matter.

- It's not a funny matter.

- No!

Anna, stay away!

- Stay away.

- Joe!

Hey, Joe...

Joe. Joe!

Joe!

I'm great.

- Are you okay?

- I'm great. I'm great.

He has no clue

how to make something happen.

He's living in a land where he's pretending

to be something instead of doing the job.

And that's the real problem.

I'm the one who should

be respected, but obviously not.

No, Joseph!

He kicked my chair!

Hello?

- Where are you going to stay?

- Bob's place.

I'll talk to her.

Hi.

How are you?

I'm okay.

Good night.

I guess we missed the show.

You're a little late.

Clara left a bottle

of wine in the car.

She'll be up in a minute.

I need to speak to Clifford.

That's not Sean.

Yes, it is.

No. It's not.

Yes, it is.

Hi.

You see how dirty my hands are?

Take me to the bathroom

so I can wash up.

Come in.

Shut the door.

Dry them.

I've moved.

My new address.

Don't tell Anna.

Okay.

Let's go.

It is illegal.

Anna, look at me.

You're going to go in there

right now--

- Move.

- Sit down!

You're going to tell Sean

to go home.

No.

If you don't, I will call his mother,

and his mother will call the police.

You understand?

No.

Laura, move.

What are we going to do?

We're gonna tell your mother

that everything is okay.

Then what?

I don't know yet,

but I'm thinking.

You're not Sean.

Yes, I am.

When you opened the door

for me yesterday...

I knew you weren't Sean.

Who are you?

I thought you said you're Sean.

I'm your lover.

Anna's my lover.

I'm your lover.

Anna's your wife.

If you had been Sean...

... and I kind of hoped you had...

... you would've come to me first.

And I would've explored this.

But you didn't.

Are they in the bag?

Here they are.

Hello.

Anna's little love letters.

You can't go around

saying you're someone you're not.

Wipe your feet.

- Wipe your feet.

- I did too!

- Hi, Clara.

- Hi. How are you?

- I'm fine. How are you?

- Good.

- Have a nice night.

- You, too.

He gave them to me unopened.

To prove that he loved me more.

He couldn't leave her,

and I hated her for that. Hated her.

When I found out she was getting

married again, I got us invited.

What a nice present it would be

to give her her letters back.

I wrapped them.

And I took them.

But I couldn't do it.

I changed my mind.

Sorry, kid,

but you're not him.

Excuse me. Anna.

Your mother just called.

She said your sister just gave birth

to a healthy baby girl.

- Wow.

- Congratulations.

Maybe that's Sean.

- I believe him.

- I know you do.

There's no way I'm gonna

leave that boy. No way.

Don't try to make me.

You're wasting your time. Forget it.

So what are you going to do?

I don't know.

The best thing

for you to do is this.

Go home and write him

a goodbye letter.

Then go to see Joseph

after work tomorrow.

Don't call.

Just show up.

Tell him you're sorry,

you made a mistake.

I can't.

When Laura wakes up,

I'll call you.

I can't.

What if we open the beach house?

Then you can get married

where I married your father.

You love the water.

It'll be beautiful in May.

Didn't you hear what I said?

What's your name?

Where's your mother?

Why don't you tell us where you live?

We'll take you home.

I can't do that.

Why not?

I have to go tell Anna

l'm not her husband.

I thought I was Sean,

but I found out he was in love

with another woman.

So I can't be him.

'Cause I'm in love with Anna.

- No kidding.

- Do you have a lost child?

Central, we have a male, white,

approximately nine to ten years of age.

Blue jacket, black shirt,

gray pants.

Let's take him back to the house.

Hey! Come back here!

He's back.

I called his mother.

She'll be here soon.

He's in the bath.

I have a plan.

We're gonna run away together.

You and me.

Okay?

And in 1 1 years,

you're gonna turn 21.

Okay?

You hear me?

Do you hear me?

And we're gonna get married.

Okay?

I wonder...

... what you're gonna look like.

I love you, Sean.

I'm not Sean.

I'm not Sean.

Because I love you.

You make no sense.

I can't explain it to you better.

You're gonna have to.

Can I please have a towel, Anna.

I have to get my clothes back on.

My mother's going

to be here soon.

You're a little liar.

Aren't you?!

You're a little liar!

Is that what you are?

Is that what you are?!

- Yes.

- Yes? Is that what you said?

Yes.

Wow.

I...

You certainly had me fooled.

I... thought you were my dead husband.

I thought you

were my dead husband.

But you're just a little boy.

In my bathtub.

I never liked Sean.

What happened to me

was not my fault.

There's no way I could've behaved

any differently, you know.

What I did...

wasn't my fault.

What happened to me

wasn't my fault,

and I can't

be held accountable for it.

There's no way I could ever

have said to him...

"Go away."

I couldn't do it.

It was a mistake.

And... I'm sorry.

I'm...

But I wanna be with you.

I wanna be with you.

Yes, I do.

And I wanna get married.

And...

I wanna have a good life,

and I wanna be happy.

That's all I want.

Peace.

Okay.

Thank you.

Careful with the wire.

And right here would be lovely.

Okay.

Lift up with your left foot.

There we are.

Down.

Excellent.

Okay. I'm gonna meter you.

Okay.

And close your eyes.

Thank you.

Excellent.

Okay, if you could look

right at me, please.

And lift the bouquet.

Just like that is fine.

Lovely.

Look straight to me.

Wonderful.

Hold the bouquet up.

Bouquet up, please.

Anna? Bouquet up, please.

Anna?

Looks good.

Nice big smile. Excellent.

Dear Anna.

thanks for your letter.

Mom says thanks. too.

I'm really happy

being back at my school.

And my friends don't know

what happened. so it's okay.

I don't go to your building anymore.

And I've been seeing an expert.

They sure talk a lot.

They said I've been imagining things.

Mom said maybe it was a spell.

but it's a good thing

that it's gone away now.

Tell everyone I'm sorry

I made a problem for them.

And I'm really sorry I made you sad.

They said they still haven't figured out

what was wrong with me.

But they said the good thing is

that nothing really happened.

Well. I guess I'll see you

in another lifetime.

Sean.

Looks good.

And a big smile.

That's a great smile.

Nicely done.

Who's next, guys?

I'll take your card.

Hands on your lap...
