Dedication Page #7

Synopsis: Henry Roth: obsessive-compulsive, somewhat misanthropic, a writer of children's books. His illustrator and only friend, Rudy, dies after a fabulously successful collaboration on "Marty, the Beaver." Henry is under contract to produce another Marty book for Christmas sales. His publisher, Arthur Planck, assigns penniless, lovelorn illustrator Lucy Reilly to work with Henry. She's sought by her ex-boyfriend Jeremy, who dumped her two years ago but shows up apologetic, having dedicated his new book to her. She and Henry go to a house on the shore to work. Will love bloom amid the rocks, or is Henry a bump on Lucy's road to Jeremy? Rudy's voice, from the grave, gives Henry counsel.

You know what I'm saying?

The million guys are after her,

and they're blinded

by your beauty kind of sh*t.

Real big stuff, you know--

even we got the dick who kidnaps you

and sticks you in a cave

and you're guarded

by a five-headed dragon,

and, you know, the tales of your plight

are spread throughout the land,

and now all the guys go

and put on their shoes

so they can see what's up,

but none of them have--

have the balls to save her

except for me.

I would go through anything

for you.

And still...

there I was, looking for a way

not to see it.

Anything.

Money.

Stupid idiot.

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes, I'm a big, fat, stupid idiot.

I hope you're better

to the next one.

Wait.

Let me show you something.

All right.

It was easy to find.

It's the only one like it.

You broke my heart, Henry.

I don't think that you can...

trust people.

You always have to find

something wrong.

I'm just-- I'm sorry.

I'll miss you.

You'll be fine.

We'll both be fine, Rudy.

That's life, Henry.

Yep.

You know what life is?

Life is...

a horrible little giggle

in the midst of a forced

death march towards hell.

No, it isn't.

An interminable wail of grief.

No.

Life is a single skip for joy.

I know.

You hear that?

What?

Look.

You'll never throw it away again?

Never.

It's the only one like it.

I know.

FEMALE VOCALIST:

Ruby-red panda

An insane boy who have

If I can be the top of the world

Dreams of boy not like before

I cannot hold the powers

Heart and soul I know what I want
