Everybody's Fine

Catch a falling star

and put it in your pocket

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star

and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day

For love may come

and tap you on the shoulder

Some starless night

Just in case you feel

you wanna hold her

You'll have a pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star

and put it in your pocket

Some starless night

And just in case you feel

you wanna hold her

-You'll have a pocketful of starlight

-Pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star

Never let it fade away

Catch a falling star

Save it for a rainy day

For when your troubles

start multiplying

And they just might

It's easy to forget them

without trying

With just a pocketful of starlight

Catch a falling star

and put it in your pocket

Save it for a rainy day

Save it for a rainy day

You keeping busy?

Yeah, I've been busy.

You know.

-Busy doing what?

-Busy in the garden.

In the garden. You know what?

You're missing work. That's what.

-I can see that.

-No, I'm not missing work.

Yeah, you're missing the buzz and

the jokes and the guys. I know that.

-Don't tell me that's not true. Yeah.

-Maybe a little.

Are you gonna buy some meat

or what?

Yeah, I'm gonna buy some meat.

I'm looking at some meat right now.

-I want to get some real good steak.

-I got a special here on the rump.

Forget the specials.

I got the children visiting me

this weekend from all over the country.

Got them all around the same table,

all 4 of them.

Clean up aisle 5.

Clean up aisle 5, please.

Excuse me.

Do you know about these wines?

-The wine? These wines?

-Yeah.

I stock this section.

Why? Is there a problem?

No, I just wanna get some expensive

bottles of wine for my children.

-This isn't for children.

-I know it's not for children.

It's for my children

that aren't children anymore.

What would be the best one...

Ones of this?

Well, we got wines

from all over the world.

We got English wines,

you know, from France.

We got Italian wines

from all over Europe.

I wanna make a good impression

on my kids.

You will. Definitely.

It's got a built-in

tenderizing gauge

for steaks and poultry

with 7 different grades.

And there's an automatic spritz

to calm flames if the oil catches.

It is guaranteed for 5 years

with a premium protective seal.

It has an automatic rotisserie,

and when the lid is closed,

the oxygen's reduced to a level

that does not support

or encourage the fats to ignite.

Yeah.

-Is that what it's going for?

-648. That's the sale price.

That's a heck of a deal for this model.

That's as low as I can go.

-How about 6?

-Done. Sure. Absolutely.

-Where do I...

-You can just put it right in there.

-Looks like somebody's having a party.

-Yeah, it's just the family.

-Hello?

-Dad, it's Robert.

Robert.

Dad, listen,

things aren't looking very good...

-Sorry.

-Well, that's a shame.

That's a real shame.

Yeah, you're gonna miss out

on having some fancy wine

-and filet mignon steak and...

-Have you heard from the others?

Yeah, so far all of them are coming.

Some Friday night,

some Saturday morning.

-I'm sorry again, Dad.

-Yeah, I'm sorry, too, Rob,

but you gotta get back

to that orchestra, Son.

-I will. You take care. Okay.

-Okay. You take care, too. Okay.

Okay.

Dad, hi. I can't stop right now.

I'm back on stage in a few minutes.

The producers are flying in from Paris

and wanna see the original cast,

so I just can't get away this weekend.

I'm sorry. I know I haven't been home

since the funeral,

but I'm trying, I promise. I love you.

I'm thinking of you.

Big kiss.

Hey, Dad. It's Amy.

I'm really sorry to have to do this,

but things have just gotten really crazy

at the agency

and Jack's sick with a fever.

He missed school today.

So between one thing and another,

we're not gonna be able to make it

this weekend.

I'm really sorry, Dad.

And to make things worse,

I spoke to David today,

and he can't make it, either.

He's got a lot going on,

a painting or something, but...

Anyway, I promise

we'll make it to you soon. Okay?

Love you.

Well, you can't.

You can't just go flying

all across the country,

-not in your condition.

-Who said anything about flying?

What about buses? What about trains?

I'm worried about your lungs, Frank.

Don't worry about my lungs.

Worry about your lungs.

My lungs are fine.

Fibrosis of the lungs requires you

to take things easy.

Now, you know that.

I'm just going on the buses,

on the trains...

You picked the wrong job, Frank.

I mean,

breathing in humidified PVC

all those years...

You know, it's just about seeing

the family. You know, I...

Jean always kept in touch

with everybody, and now it's...

You know how it is.

Now it's down to me.

-How are you managing on your own?

-I'm fine.

-You're fine? Yeah, fine?

-Fine, yeah. I'm fine.

You know, when I lost my wife,

I found myself talking to her

like she was still there.

It went on for months.

"Where the hell are my shorts?"

No, no. There's nobody there.

No. Talking to myself.

Crazy?

-You do that, Frank?

-No.

-No? No?

-Not yet.

Look, I hear what you're saying, I do,

but this trip,

it's not what you need right now.

You gotta take things easy.

You do. Stay home.

You know what you should do?

Spend more time in the garden.

Ed said it was fine.

He said just take enough medication

and stick to trains and buses.

And I'll take plenty of pictures,

and I'll bring home the news.

I'll start with David in New York.

And if anything goes wrong,

I'll be right home.

Got my keys, got my wallet.

My keys, got my medication.

Camera.

Got my keys.

Next.

New York City. One way, please.

-$87.

-$87. There's 100.

-I'm going to see my son.

-Very good.

-You know what he does?

-Absolutely no idea.

-He's an artist.

-Gate 7. Thank you.

-Next.

-Thank you.

What do you think of my work?

You've been looking at it

ever since we left the station.

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

No, don't look at me.

Look back out the window.

Tell me what you see.

-Cars?

-No.

-Trees?

-Well, yes, but no.

Houses?

Just remember that

you've been looking at it

-ever since we left the station.

-The window. The glass?

No. Not bad, but it's a start... But...

-Birds?

-No. Not birds.

-Rocks?

-Not rocks. No, that's ridiculous.

Rocks! You're just guessing.

I'm gonna stick with this lady here.

I think she has an idea.

No, honestly,

I really have no idea what you mean.

You know, just look for the rhythm.

-The telephone poles?

-Close. Close.

-The wire?

-Yeah. Keep going. Keep going.

-Really, I give up.

-No, no. Okay. That's it. That's it.

The wire, that's good.

I mean, I didn't make the wire,

I didn't hang the wire,

but I coated the wire.

I protected it with PVC coating
