Here on Earth Page #4

- I think so.

- I suppose that one there's New York.

- Mmm.

That's Jersey. That's New York.

Planning a visit?

No.

I'm heading towards Massachusetts.

Massachusetts welcomes you.

How bad is it?

Is it fixable?

I don't know. It's pretty bad.

Guess you spoke to Pete.

What are you doing?

I don't know.

This guy walks into town,

and he says a few things,

and he makes you think

a few things.

But it's not real. We're real.

Me and you. We've always been real.

I've always known that

we're gonna be together.

I think you have too.

- Well, what if the only reason that...

- No. Come on.

Don't do this.

We have a Fourth of July

dance coming up next week.

Clam bake, camping on the beach.

The whole thing. Just like last year.

Remember? Come with me.

I mean, this thing with him is just gonna turn out

to be a thing. You know?

You don't want to waste us

on that, do you?

[Panting]

[Screams]

[Panting]

Ohh, wow.

This is beautiful!

My favorite spot.

So, anyway, there's

this Fourth of July dance.

And, you know, the whole town goes.

It's this tradition.

And they have fireworks and food...

and people bring

their dates and stuff.

Hey, Samantha. I would be honored

to be your date.

[Chuckles]

Wow. Gosh.

Uh... Just that I sort of...

[Sighs]

I kind of have to go with Jasper.

[Chuckles]

I didn't think things

with you and him were...

- I don't know what they are.

- I see.

Do you still have feelings for him?

Well, of course.

I always will, but...

I'm not... I mean, it's...

- not really...

- Um, Samantha, I don't understand.

I mean, what are you doing with me?

You've just kind of

taken me by surprise, you know.

I... I didn't expect you.

Look, maybe we can get

together after the dance.

I, uh... I can't because

we're going to Cape Cod.

A-And we...

We go to Cape Cod every year.

Like, don't worry about it. I mean,

[Chuckles]

It's not like we got

some serious thing.

You know, I mean, we're

just havin'fun, right?

[Softly]

Right.

[Phone Rings]

[Ringing Continues]

Hello.

Yes, this is Samantha.

Hi.

Well, did he say what it was about?

Okay.

Sure, I'll tell them Tuesday.

Bye.

- [Screen Door Opens]

- [Jo] Who was on the phone?

- Somebody selling something.

- Oh, don't you hate that?

Yeah.

Thought you could call him "Ralph."

I found him at a pet store

up in Concord.

He's pretty cool, don't you think?

- [Wheel Squeaking]

- Ralph Junior.

He's okay, I guess.

I'll let you two get acquainted.

Hey, Ralph Junior.

[Car Radio Playing Rock]

[Engine Turns Off, Music Stops]

[Pete]:
Hey, Jas, come on!

What's wrong, Richie,

you couldn't find a date?

[Laughs]

- [Pete]:
Jas!

- [Door Opening]

[Door Opening]

- Hey.

- Hey.

[Music "I Need Love" Plays]

[Woman]

I left my couch and like

A crying child

Locked the doors behind me

Put the pain on file

Broken like a window

I see my blindness now

And I need love

Not some sentimental prison

I need love

[music Continues]

I can't wait.

Bought this new bathing suit.

It's a one-piece, but

it's mesh in the middle.

Oh, my God. It's so wicked cool.

I can't explain it. You got to see it.

It's black, and it's deep dyed.

[music Continues]

Broken like a window

I see my blindness now

And I need love

Not some sentimental prison

I need love

Now, it's for members of the town, right?

And since I... am now a proud member...

of this town, then I should be allowed to go, right?

I should definitely go.

I should absolutely be allowed.

It's settled then.

I am a great dancer.

I need love

Not some sentimental prison

I need love

Who here... wants to be my date?

Huh?

Do you... wanna dance?

Come on, baby.

Will you go to the dance with me?

All right.

Okay. Fine.

- [Cow Mooing]

- Be sure to tip your waitress.

Adieu.

[Moos]

- [Samantha]:
No. No, I hate that hat.

- [Jasper] You look great.

[Jasper]:
It's a good hat.

Hey, what's up?

- Hey, Kelley.

- Hey, Kelley.

- Are you drunk?

- No.

- No. Why, are you?

- No.

- Man, maybe you'd better go, huh?

- Go?

Hey, I just got here. Huh?

- Kelley, I think that you should leave.

- Leave? Why?

[Chuckles] Oh, farm boy's getting ready to rumble, huh?

[Scoffs]

Come on.

Come on, dance with me.

Huh? Jasper doesn't mind, do you, Jasper?

- I think you better go, before I kick... All right?

- Hey. Hey.

Hey, what's everybody

getting so huffy for, huh?

Huh? Relax.

Hey, gonna dance with you.

[Muttering]

[Grunts]

[Jasper]:
Come on.

[Groans]

- Where you going?

- Back to Boston.

What about your probation?

You could've just danced with me.

- I was there with a date.

- I should've been your date!

I thought that I explained that to you.

Yeah, you made your choice.

Kelley, that's not fair.

- Look, come with me.

- What?

- Come to Boston.

- I can't go with you to Boston.

Just for the weekend.

You can be back by Sunday.

Look, Samantha.

We don't have to hide.

We can be together.

[Door Hisses]

What's goin' on?

Sam?

What did you say to him?

I can't go...

with you, Jasper.

What?

- I can't be with you.

- What? No... Stop sayin' that.

Just... Just come with me, okay?

Me and you were

supposed to be together.

I just don't know anymore.

[Chuckles]

N-Nobody knows you like I do, all right?

Nobody...

Nobody sees you like I do.

We belong together.

We...

I love you. I...I love you, Sam.

I have to go.

[Whispers]

I'm sorry.

[Man]

Figure of divine perfection

No one's loved with more affection

Soul to soul we breathe

Oh, I won't let the fates succeed

Worried hours of contemplation

Whispered bits of conversation

Unaffected orderlies

Disinfected rooms and hallways

And if you sleep you sleep with God

And if I cry it's for my heart

'Cause if you sleep

'Cause if you sleep

I'll sleep too

Where's your butler?

[Chuckles]

Well,

it's Fourth of July weekend

plus my dad's out of town, so...

Can you show me around your mansion?

[Scoffs]

It's just a house.

Come on, let's go see

if there's food in the kitchen.

How 'bout...

I take the tour...

myself!

Marco.

[Sam]:
Polo.

Marco.

Polo.

Hey, Samantha?

Samantha, come on.

Game's over.

- Samantha, get out of the tub.

- What's the matter?

Just get out of the tub.

Kelley, what's wrong?

Kelley...

You okay?

My mother loved her roses.

She would just sit in here for hours and stare at 'em,

breathin' 'em in.

They only bloom once a year

at the end of summer, but...

she always said that's

what made 'em so special.

And then just fade away.

In the summers when I was a kid,

she used to take me outside

to stand in the rain.

She said it was good for our hair.

Hers was so long.

So beautiful.

I found her in the tub.

The water was so thick with blood,

it looked like paint.

I tried to wrap a towel around her wrist

to stop the bleeding.

But she wasn't bleeding.

It was all in the tub.

I always knew

my mother was sad, you know?

She didn't say a word.

She just gave up.

I wonder what the world record is

for staying in bed.
