For Keeps? Page #8

I love you! Please!

Goddamn it! Please open the door!

I'm sorry!

If they put him in jail,

will you tell them...

...he has to be out by Thursday?

He has to be in school in California.

Okay. I'm sure that's no problem.

Okay, Bobrucz. On your feet.

You're getting out.

-You okay?

-Yeah. Thanks for coming down.

Forget it. Let's go home.

Come in.

-Oh, hey, you busy? I'll come back.

-No, it's all right.

So, what are you gonna do

about Caltech?

I've gotta decide by Thursday.

Maybe I should go, huh?

The chance of a lifetime.

Still haven't heard from Darcy?

-You love her a lot, don't you?

-Oh, God, Dad, she's....

Whenever I try to see the rest of my

life without her, I can't even breathe.

Then you're gonna have

to go for it.

Otherwise you'll live with regret.

I remember one time, I was in love

with a girl. She was so beautiful.

I couldn't stop thinking about her,

not even for one minute.

Drove me nuts.

-So, what did you do?

-I married her. Had three kids.

-I love you, Dad.

-How did I get such a skinny kid?

-Rae Warland.

-Thank you.

Congratulations. Ron Califarro.

Darcy Elliot Bobrucz.

Congratulations. Paul E. Shaw.

Congratulations. Ruth Leggo.

Muriel Gusman.

Lou Comacho.

And to Darcy Elliot Bobrucz,

who did the right thing.

-Yes, dear.

-Who saw the mountain--

-And almost fell right off it.

-Be careful.

Oh, we're so proud

of Mommy, aren't we?

Now my baby's a big girl.

And you're free to make

all your own choices now.

Darcy!

-Darcy!

-Excuse me, may I help you?

I'm Darcy's husband.

I don't want a scene.

Come on. Good night.

-Good night.

-Darcy, please!

Will you please wait?

Come on, sit in the front.

Darcy, wait up!

I gotta talk to you!

Wait! Wait! Please.

-Hands off the car.

-Come on, give me a break.

Look, Stan, you're a good kid.

You tried your best, but if you love

Darcy, give her a chance.

-I can help her make something of--

-She was doing fine herself.

That makes you nervous, doesn't it?

Stop it. We gave it our best shot!

We just couldn't cut it! That's all!

Hey, I love you. I'll never stop

loving you. Thea, tell her.

These are for you. There's something

inside. This is for Thea.

Sorry I was late. I went to Madison

and put in for scholarships for us.

Journalism and architecture.

I gave Ronald your baby article.

He loved it.

He wants to publish it in the paper.

Here's stuff on married housing

and child-care co-ops.

You see, she's not crying.

Go to California! They're holding

your place! Don't blow it!

Holding my place?

How did you know?

That's why you kicked me out!

That's why you kicked me out!

You still love me, don't you, Darcy?

Darcy, you still love me!

Darcy!

Believe me, it is just as well

that he left now...

...because he would have left

someday anyway.

Do you remember when Daddy left?

I'm just trying to tell you, honey...

...that sooner or later...

...everybody leaves.

That's just what love's all about.

Oh, but that's not it, Mom.

That's not what love's all about.

Love is about sticking around.

Did you know that Stan did get

into Caltech?

He didn't go, because he loves me.

He cares about me,

and he cares about Thea.

Stan doesn't just disappear

when something bad happens.

Like I do.

Mom, you have a choice to make.

Either you love all of us

or none of us.

Take this. It's gonna get chilly later.

Thanks.

Stan!

Stan!

Where's Darcy?

Could you give me a hint?

She went looking for you

back at the school.

Thanks.

Well, I guess we really blew it

this time, didn't we, Thea?

Come on, let's get you home.

-Darcy!

-Stan.

-I'm so sorry--

-Caltech doesn't mean anything.

-That's all you ever wanted!

-I want you! I want Thea!

-What about my mother?

-It's okay. We talked.

Okay, what about--?

Did you look inside the flowers?

This one doesn't bend.

It's beautiful.

See, I was....

I was hoping maybe you'd want

to marry me.

I guess you got yourself a wife.

Oh, good.

We better get Thea home.

It's way past her bedtime.

When she's a teen,

she'll have a curfew.

-Definitely.

-Ten o'clock.

Maybe 11:
00 if they're really in love.

If they're really in love, 8:00.

-I love you, Darcy.

-I love you, Stan.
