Every Thing Will Be Fine Page #2

in one way or another

can one day become a resource.

How do you mean?

Those three chapters

you sent me last week.

They definitely show...

Something new.

So you liked it?

I liked it a lot. Yeah.

But I rather don't wanna...

You know, interfere at this stage.

Just continue writing.

Take all the time you need.

You're on to something.

I need help.

I can't do this on my own.

- How's Sara?

- Ah, it's difficult.

Yeah.

You know we've had our problems, but...

I can feel little things coming back...

Then other times I just feel

like giving up and starting over.

With somebody else?

No, just on my own.

But... she's really been there for me.

Have you talked to her about this?

She might have similar feelings as you.

I don't think so.

You should talk to her.

- Okay.

- Wait for me.

Hold it, please.

I'm Ann.

I handle the French language books now.

- I'm Tomas.

- I know.

George let me read the first

chapters of the new book.

Did he?

I think it was out of pure enthusiasm.

- He liked it so much.

- Me too.

I liked both of your previous books

but I think this one could be even better.

Well... there's still a long way to go.

- Go ahead.

- Uh, no.

I'm going down to the garage.

Okay.

I'm so excited to move.

Leave Oka.

You're going to love the place I found.

What are you thinking?

Talk to me, Tomas.

What is it?

No.

No, come on.

You're kidding me.

Where did you leave him?

Thank you, everyone,

that was very nice.

Thank you.

They love you. This book,

it's gonna do a lot of good for ya.

Hey, uh, Tom.

- Yeah?

- Uh, I hate to bring this up.

But, um...

I need you to renew the contract.

Oh, yeah, I'll sign it.

You had it for 6 weeks.

You worry too much, George.

Come on. Come on.

Hi.

Why are you here?

I thought I needed to see this place again.

I couldn't let it go.

So why today?

If I could I would do anything to...

To change what happened.

I wish...

Is that what you came to say?

Maybe.

Walk with me a bit.

We can only try to believe

that there's a meaning to this.

We've been praying for you

too, Christopher and I.

And we don't blame you.

It's not like that.

How could it be your fault?

Uh, well, I...

I don't know if I could see it

that way if I was in your place.

How have you been?

Well...

I've been pretty bad.

I mean, I'm... a little better now, but...

Look, uh...

I, uh, I hope I haven't made things

more difficult by coming here.

I just wanna say that...

If there's anything I can do...

Anything to help, I'd like to.

It would make me feel a lot

better if I could...

Do something for you.

Could you wait here for a moment?

I'd like to give you something.

Maybe this can help you.

Uh...

I'm not really a religious person.

Look at it anyway.

You said you'd do something for us.

Didn't he wanna come in?

He was in a bit of a hurry.

Will he be back?

Perhaps.

Goodnight, my love.

I'll leave the door open.

Goodnight, mom.

Hello?

Uh, I'm sorry to phone you at this hour.

No, it's alright, I was up anyway.

Can't you sleep well?

Well, I've... I often... stay up to work.

What do you do?

Uh, I write.

You're a writer?

Yeah, I... I suppose I'm a writer.

Have you had anything published?

Yes. 3 novels.

The... the 3rd one just came out.

Was that why you were a bit

dressed up today?

Yeah, it was a... small reception.

You're efficient.

How do you mean?

Well, you've already started

on your next book.

No, I just...

I had a few ideas I was putting down.

Was that why you came today?

What do you mean?

- Looking for ideas?

- No, no, no. Don't think that.

I just... need to start something new,

you know before the reviews come out

and everyone has an opinion.

So, when is the next one coming out?

Couple of years, if everything

goes according to plan.

Does it usually go according

to plan for you?

Well, it depends.

- What's your work?

- Uh, I make illustrations.

For magazines, catalogues, books.

So you're an artist?

No. My drawings are commissioned.

They're... made to order.

You also work at home then?

I need to work at home, for the boys.

Is that Christopher?

Can you wait just a second?

I'll... I'll just check on him.

Yeah, sure.

Hello?

Hmm.

Are you there?

Yes.

Hmm.

You don't have kids, do you?

No, is it obvious?

Yes, it is.

By choice?

No... no.

No, I... I can't have kids.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, just wasn't in the cards for me.

Something you learn to live with.

Thank you for coming.

There's something I'd like for us to do.

A little ceremony.

Do you like Faulkner?

Um...

I don't like him and I don't not like him.

Uh, most...

Writers don't mean much to me.

I knew you'd say that.

I think I know you a little already.

They shouldn't have been

outside anymore.

It was getting late.

I should have taken them in.

But I... I couldn't put that book down.

He writes too well.

I put a... name-tag

on his jacket the day before.

I shouldn't have done that.

Don't think that way.

There's no connection.

How do you know that?

I just do.

It's only in your mind.

I shouldn't have done it.

Shh.

This is how he remembers that day?

Mm-hmm.

I should go before he wakes.

I won't see you again?

Thank you for asking me to come.

He'll wake up soon.

You should get going.

Hey.

- Hi.

- Hi. Isn't mummy coming?

Umm-umm. We're gonna go meet her.

Uh-huh, Mina.

This way.

- Aren't we going home?

- Mm-hmm.

Where are we going then?

- So many questions.

- Are we going to see a film?

- Don't you like surprises?

- What does it start with?

- What do you mean?

- The surprise.

What's the first letter?

Uh, F.

One more letter.

Mm... it'll be too easy.

One more, please!

Alright, I'll give you

a letter from the middle.

- Okay.

- G.

- I know what it is.

- Oh?

What is it?

Alright.

We'll just see if you're right.

The teacher said that you

were in the paper.

Did she? And what else did she say?

She asked me if I was proud

to have such a famous dad.

Mm-hmm. And what did you say?

That you're not my dad.

Can you see what she's reading?

It's your book, Tomas!

I'm sure she wants your autograph.

No.

Hey, no. Hey!

Mina!

Hi, do you like that book?

That's the author over there.

Do you want his autograph?

Oh! Yes! I would love that.

She does want your autograph!

- I'm sorry about this.

- She wants an autograph.

I would love you to sign the book.

Okay. Sure. No problem.

Hey, ta-da!

Tomas has been signing his new

book in a park.

- Wow!

- It's the first time.

Is it?

Yeah, I mean, I've signed books

before but never out on the street.

- He's a celebrity.

- No.

It only counts if they ask for it,

not if somebody pushes it on them.

No, wait, keep it there, keep it right there.

Keep it right there.

You got it. You got it!

Oh!

Champion!

Alright. Look at that.

Doesn't feel too nice

I'm gone

Turn around baby

I'll be gone

Everybody talking trash

Everybody else digging for cash

I'm gone

Turn around baby

I'll be gone

I'm tongue-tied what I'm trying to say
