Henry Poole Is Here Page #6

of trauma?

Anything which could have

set her back like this?

You told me "one time."

You promised me.

Mr. Poole, God is

bigger than a promise.

Just let me talk to you, yes?

- Esperanza, please, let him go.

- No no no!

- Mr. Poole, just let us...

- Listen to me, please.

Listen to me!

Mr. Poole.

- Holy sh*t.

- No no no no.

No "holy sh*t." No "holy sh*t."

Holy... something else.

Mr. Poole,

the test came back.

Yeah, and what? And what?

There's no explanation for it, right?

- No.

- It's a big surprise, huh?

- No no, please...

- Yes, you're right.

There is no explanation.

That's exactly right.

You want to tell me

what's going on?

Why all these people

are here? Huh?

There here to see

something unexplainable.

- Yeah?

- They're here to find some hope.

Let me tell you something...

I never should have let you

come here in the first place

'cause this is insane.

You got people praying to the wall.

- Excuse me, is this your house?

- Yeah!

- This is my house.

- You know, you're a very lucky man

- to have such a...

- Yeah! Yeah, I'm so lucky

I ought to buy

a lottery ticket, shouldn't I?

You're all just kind of

staring at the wall?

Is that what you're doing?

Hope can't save you.

You understand that?

It can't save you.

Or her

or her or him!

You understand that?

Hope isn't gonna save you!

You know that.

Esperanza:

Please, Mr. Poole.

No no no no no no, please.

Listen to me!

Listen, it's a miracle.

It will do things...

No no no no...

this is a gift from God!

This is a gift from God!

No no... oh my God.

I want this out of here!

I don't want this stain

on my wall!

I want...

This doesn't save lives.

(woman vocalizing)

Please.

This doesn't save lives.

# Oooh #

# Sweetly, child,

you sing #

# And all the joy #

# You bring to me #

# Goes #

# Goes our

loved ones home #

# And I will... #

# I will be waiting #

# On an ocean #

# Sweetly, child,

you sing #

# On an ocean... #

Esperanza:

Mr. Poole?

# On an ocean... #

Can you hear me?

Mr. Poole,

the blood was real.

# Ahhhhhhh #

# Sahhh ahhh ahhh #

# Sahhh ahhh ahhh. #

(grunts)

Oh, God.

Thank God you're okay.

What are you

doing here?

I've been waiting

for you to wake up

to make sure you're okay.

(whispering)

...Dios mio.

What are you smiling at?

At you.

Why did you not tell me,

Mr. Poole?

Tell you what?

About your secret

you had.

Dawn explained it to me.

What do you mean, "had"?

I need to see a doctor!

- (panting)

- You need to get back in your room.

- I need to see a doctor.

- Sir!

Mr. Poole, no no no.

You should not be walking around.

You need to get back to

your room... hey hey!

Hey hey!

Mr. Poole.

Please... okay.

Mr. Poole, just calm down.

- Mr. Poole...

- (Henry muttering)

No no no no.

No no... don't do that.

Mr. Poole, look at

your arm, Mr. Poole.

- You're bleeding.

- Esperanza:
Mr. Poole.

Henry's voice:

Please.

Please.

Millie:

Mr. Poole.

Wake up.

Mr. Poole?

Wake up.

It's okay.

Wake up.

Millie, did you just

say something to me?

Mommy said

you're not sick anymore.

I'm...

I'm not gonna die?

No, Henry.

You're not.

How can that be?

Well, I told them what

was wrong with you

and they checked.

And you're fine.

You were never sick,

Henry.

So... so I was

never gonna die?

Esperanza:

No no, we are all going to die,

just not right now.

And that is the miracle

for you.

Um...

after what I've done,

the miracle's gone.

No no no.

Don't worry about that.

It was here for as long

as it needed to be here.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Like everything

and everyone.

I'm glad you're better,

Mr. Poole.

Millie,

I'm glad you're better too.

You know, you should really

get some rest.

Okay?

We'll be outside

if you need us.

Come on, honey.

# I promise you will

get old #

# I promised you

everything #

# To protect you

wherever you go #

# I'll give you

this diamond ring #

# Just promise you

will remember #

# The promise should

last forever #

# Right up to

the dying embers #

# Of the fire that

burns so slow... #

- You're back.

- Yep.

I'm home.

What's left of it.

What do you make

of all this?

You're gonna live, Henry.

Yeah.

It's a gift.

Yeah.

Pretty miraculous, huh?

I don't...

I don't know what it is.

I don't know

if it was a mistake.

I don't know.

I don't think that

any of this

was a mistake.

What now?

# It's a beautiful

thing to do #

# Sometimes you just

have to walk away #

# Remember I do love you #

# Have courage in

what you say #

# And promise you will

remember #

# That promises

last forever #

# Still after

the dying embers #

# The fire that

burns so slowly #

# Sometimes you just

have to walk away #

# Sometimes you just

have to walk away #

# Wishing today

was yesterday #

# Yes, sometimes you just

have to walk away. #
