Heart and Souls Page #8

Thomas, do not argue with a woman

in this condition. Just apologize!

- Goodbye, Thomas.

- Anne, I'm sorry. I apologize.

Yeah, do this to me.

Go away. Run away. Anne.

Let's be grown-ups.

Anne!

Sh*t!

- You let her go.

- I did not let her go.

You did.

What am I supposed to do?

Like, jump in front of the car?

You guys are a lot of help.

Come on.

- Maybe you should call her.

- Yeah, we think you should call her.

- No. Enough!

- You'd feel better. She'd feel better.

Have we forgotten your basic problem here?

We've gotta keep moving.

Oh, boy. Bad sound.

That's all right. I'll be quick.

I'll just give him the rest of my money.

Mr. Reilly, is it something genetic with you?

Tell me you're not insured, Mr. Reilly,

and you'll be three for three.

No, I'm heavily insured, I promise you.

Ouch! Ah!

- Penny, I'll tell him to take me.

- No, no.

- Maybe he'll take me.

- No, I should go.

I am so sorry.

All right, you're sorry.

Can we get on with this, please?

- She wants you.

- It's all right, sweetheart.

- Mr. Hug-a-bug

- I really have to go.

- Hug-a-bug, Hug-a-bug Bear

- Can I give you my license and insurance?

- You can mail 'em to me.

- When you try and find him

He won't be there

But when you're feeling blue

and a little bit scared

- Thomas! That's...

- He'll be right beside you

- That's the song you used to sing to Thomas.

- Mr. Hug-a-bug Bear

- I remember.

- I-I made that up!

I used to sing it to my kids before

I put 'em to bed. They loved it.

- Especially Billy.

- And a little bit scared

He'll be right beside you

Mr. Hug-a-bug Bear

- Why? Wait a minute. We had a deal.

- Wait.

- Now, come on...

- Give her a minute.

What is the matter with him?

I have only myself to blame.

I put him back out on the street.

Ask him. Ask him if he's Billy!

Are you Billy?

- I mean... Is your name Billy? Your first name?

- To my friends.

Ask him, Thomas. Ask him if he was adopted.

Sergeant Barclay, I was wondering if you

ever might happen to maybe be adopted?

Look here, man, if you don't shut up

I'm gonna take you back inside.

He was! You can tell, Thomas! You can tell.

I know I sound absolutely nuts, but was

your mother's name Penny Washington?

Billy!

This is my... This is...

All right now. What is this about?

You've got two older sisters, right?

Shirley and...

Diane!

- Am I right?

- He's so big!

- He's a cop.

- Who are you?

Is this some sort of sick joke?

Did I lock your brother up or something?

- Do you know where your sisters are?

- No.

- I do.

- That's ridiculous.

I've tried to find my sisters

for the last 20 years.

The records are sealed, even for a cop.

Okay, all right.

But do you remember this lady?

This lady with a million cats.

Her name is Agnes Miller.

She still lives in your old neighborhood.

Cats...

I do remember a lady with cats.

I know you remember Agnes.

Go call her. Her name's Agnes Miller.

Then call a family named

Timmerson in Sacramento.

I swear to God,

that's where your sisters grew up.

- How can you possibly know any of this?

- This is my grandbaby!

Because I...

My goodness! Look at her.

Julia, she's so cute.

- She's adorable.

- That's his wife. Come here.

- Come here.

- No, I don't want involvement.

- No, please. But this is...

- No, really. I'm gonna... Come on, we...

Anyway, your mother and my mother

wound up in the same emergency room.

My parents told me that before she died,

she was talking about her kids,

and all she wanted in the world was just

to make sure that her kids were all right,

and she sang that song.

I guess she must have been delirious by then.

But my mom taught it to me.

So when I heard you singing it, I just knew.

Your mother loved you very much.

She would have been real proud of you.

- Thomas, I have to do this.

- No!

I never left you.

- Can you just get off of me?

- Yeah, I'm sorry, that was...

It's an emotional time for us all.

I'm gonna check this out, Reilly.

- And if it isn't true...

- It's true. Believe me, it's true.

Come on, sweetheart.

He's such a cop!

"I'm gonna check this out, Reilly."

That was really humiliating.

- Okay, I'm ready.

- Finally!

Goodbye, darling. You take care.

I'll remember you, Julia.

I'm really gonna miss you.

I'm saying goodbye to both my sons.

- Thomas, don't work too hard.

- Okay.

And it's okay to be a good guy.

Pay more attention to what you're eating.

Julia, hi to John.

You stop driving so fast

and call your mother once in a while.

I love you guys!

Hit it.

- Think it's okay?

- Uh, yeah. It's good.

He'll believe it?

Come on, he's gotta

recognize your handwriting.

Let's go.

All right. Here's what we'll do.

I'll tell him that after the bus accident,

your stuff got mixed up

with my mom's stuff at the hospital,

and I just happened to find this letter.

- What?

- He'll buy it.

I'll be convincing.

Oh, sh*t!

They're trying to lose me?

Come on.

I do you a favor, you run from me like rabbits.

- Five minutes, okay?

- No.

Just give us five minutes!

No! It's time on the big clock.

You take her over my dead body!

Great. I got the bus right here.

I don't care. Come on.

Don't threaten me. We're talking about

right and wrong here! Right and wrong!

- Look, you watch it, mortal.

- I can't believe you.

You've got eternity on your hands,

she's asking for five lousy minutes. Come on.

I'm sorry, I find it hard to believe

you can't find five minutes.

I don't have the authority.

- Authority for what?

- I can't just change everything.

- How do you think I can do that?

- Be creative. Stall.

Stall?

Stall Him?

What?

He's probably got a wife and kids.

I don't wanna...

I don't wanna cause a problem.

Oh, come on. He'd still wanna

know that you cared about him.

He'd wanna know that you loved him.

What if he's forgotten all about me?

Julia, no one could forget about you.

Can I help you?

My name's Thomas Reilly

and I have a personal letter for John McBride.

Oh, well. I bought this place

from him seven years ago.

Uh-huh. Do you know where he is now?

Sorry to have to say it,

but he died soon after he sold it to me.

Are you sure?

Oh, yeah, yeah. I'm sure about that.

He wasn't well.

I guess things were kinda rough on him.

This place was

kinda falling apart when I got it.

Anyway, he moved down to San Leandro

and rented a little apartment.

Well, that's where they found him.

Oh. I, uh...

- Thanks.

- Sorry.

The rotor. Maybe it's the rotor.

- Hey!

- Huh?

What is this crap?

What? I beg your pardon?

- It didn't work! She can't fix anything!

- Go on.

- It always works.

- No!

I mean, sure, it might seem like

these things are going down to the wire...

- Wrong!

- ...but they always work out.

The guy's dead, all right?

He's been dead for seven years!

-But... That can't be.

-What do you mean, that can't be?

No, you know what?

Or he had to be the wrong guy.

No, it's not the wrong guy!

It's not the wrong guy, you idiot!
