He Was A Quiet Man Page #6

enough to handle all that?

I will be

if you're with me.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait, wait.

Is the lipstick

overdone?

No, the nurse

did a good job.

This hair

is in the way.

Let's no do this.

Not today.

No! No no no no no!

When are you going to learn

to put your emotions away

and just do it?

Stop! Dammit,

don't do that!

Don't be weak.

Come here!

Look at me.

Show some

courage, Bob.

I need that.

You're all I got

in there.

Vanessa. It's really

a shame what happened.

But you look ravishing

as always.

Such a tragic thing, Vanessa.

If there's anything

I can do, really.

You okay?

Keep moving.

[Vanessa]

It smells different.

[Bob]

They started to pump

in air freshener.

How come?

It's supposed to

make you happy.

It stinks.

Wait, stop.

I was filling

my water bottle.

Where were you?

I was over by the hula girl.

Take me to where I fell.

I heard the shots, but I didn't

see where they came from.

Where was Coleman standing?

He was right there.

Show me.

I wanna see.

[gunshots]

What's wrong?

I wish I would have

seen his eyes.

If you had,

he wouldn't have fired.

How do you know?

I know.

Vanessa?

They told me you were here.

I couldn't believe it.

I wanted to see

where it happened.

I understand.

I am so, so sorry

about what happened.

Yeah, so am I.

Bob. Come on. Let's go.

We're done here.

You can move?

I-I thought you were

permanently paralyzed.

Yeah, so did I. I guess

we were both wrong.

Bob.

It was so good

to see you.

Freak show's over.

Everyone back to work.

That's Hawaii, definitely.

Or maybe it's Japan.

Both would be great.

God, it would be nice

to go somewhere.

You're awfully

quiet tonight.

If you hadn't been shot,

would you ever have thought

of being with me like this?

That's kind of

a cruel question.

You wouldn't, I know.

I didn't even

know you.

Who would you be

with then?

What does it matter?

We're in a different world.

Mr. Shelby...

Did you love him?

He was married, Bob.

So?

So I told you

who I was before.

And why I did

what I did.

[jet roar]

Love was the last

thing on my mind.

Why are we talking

about this right now?

What happened happened.

And in this world

I'm with you, you are

the one I want to be with,

and nothing's going

to change that unless

you want it to change.

I don't want

anything to change.

Then it won't.

Bob,

you should've told me

you like your women

submissive.

I would have

accommodated.

Your day will come.

Hey Bob.

What are you doing in here?

We need to talk.

Don't you ever stop?

I have nothing to say.

I'm fine.

Well, I'm not, okay?

I'm failing here, Bob,

and I need your help.

See, I wasn't good enough

to do my job.

And now I think something

really wrong is going to happen,

and it's going to be my fault.

What could go wrong?

Let me show you something.

All right, Bob.

You gotta see this.

I haven't shown this

to anybody.

Sit down.

Where did you find this?

In the copy machine.

You see, the good thing is,

it's in the form of a question.

That means whoever wrote it

hasn't made up their mind

what they're going to do yet.

Maybe they already have,

and they're not

going to do anything.

Can we take that chance?

No. The person that wrote

this note is reaching out.

He may not even know it.

But that would be

a real tragedy

if you and I didn't

try to save him.

How can I save him?

Help me bring him out

into the open.

Otherwise, I gotta

go down to Mr. Shelby,

initiate a company-wide

handwriting analysis

and, my friend,

that's just a b*tch.

It's just a b*tch.

Oh, sh*t.

[beep]

Bob, you there?

[clears throat]

Ah. I need you to go

out and buy a gift.

I wanna get something--

something really special,

but I don't know

what's appropriate

for someone

in Vanessa's condition

I figured you would know

what she'd like these days,

because I certainly

don't know.

I can not get over seeing

her come in like that.

What a brave woman.

Here. Take the afternoon

if you need it.

We-- here.

What? Do you think

it's not enough?

I don't think it's right.

Why not?

You shouldn't be buying

presents for another woman.

Vanessa is not

another woman.

She happens to be a valued

and appreciated member

of the ADD team.

Is that what you

tell Mrs. Shelby?

Are you questioning

my fidelity?

Because if you are,

you are way out of line, pal!

I just don't wanna see

her hurt again.

And what are you?

Her protector?

I care about her.

Oh, Jesus, you're

in love with her.

[laughs]

I can't believe it.

She's done it

to you too.

Bob, that woman

will do anything to get a man

to give her what she needs.

She's changed.

Yes. She's disabled.

She doesn't want

anything from me.

Bob, you're the spoon.

Because that's what

she needs right now.

But let me ask

you something.

What happens if she starts

to wiggle more than her finger?

What if she starts to move

her entire hand?

Or her arm?

What happens if she

can feed herself,

move herself,

take care of herself?

Do you really think

that a woman like that

is gonna choose

a man like you?

I mean, honestly now.

I...

am not...

a spoon.

There he is.

Man of the people.

Now this thing between

you and Little Miss

Bottle Rocket serious?

Don't call her that.

I'm just saying, Bob,

you're at your peak right now.

Great money, great car,

great friends.

Some men wait a whole

lifetime for that.

Why would you wanna

waste it on a gimp?

[grunts]

You are a very

cruel man!

Bob, come on. Hey.

Forget golf on Sunday,

you f***ing freak!

[door creaks, slams]

Don't touch her.

She was mine.

Well, you threw her away.

No, I didn't.

She was broken.

She was in pieces.

She's all better now.

She was mine.

Say bye-bye.

What's this?

He's the guy

you're looking for.

He's the one

with the problem.

Henry from Maintenance.

That's your man.

Bob, I think you misunderstood

what I was asking of you.

No, I didn't.

You wanted me to find

the next Coleman,

that's-- that's

what I did.

How did you

actually do this?

I had the sense, remember?

The sense.

You know, how

I knew something was

gonna happen here.

How I knew to bring my gun in

the day Coleman went off.

Right.

And you're right.

This man is very dangerous.

You need to do something.

You need to get him some help,

and you need to get him out

of here, just like you said.

Bob, he's not the one.

You didn't see him.

He's this tall!

You're the one, Bob.

You're the one

that needs help.

I'm the hero.

I shot the bad guy.

I know.

That's why I wanted you

to come to me on your own.

That's why you're up here

on the top floor.

You're wrong.

Think about it-- Vice President

of Creative Thinking?

Do you really believe that

someone like you would

have a job like that?

Someone like me?

[sighs]

Just admit you're

the one, Bob,

and you'll be

halfway home.

No.

I'm not the one.

I'm not the one!

I'm not the one!

I'm not the one!

I'm not!

Not the one!
