Synopsis: Albany, New York, Halloween, 1938. Francis Phelan and Helen Archer are bums, back in their birth city. She was a singer on the radio, he a major league pitcher. Death surrounds them: she's sick, a pal has cancer, he digs graves at the cemetery and visits the grave of his infant son whom he dropped; visions of his past haunt him, including ghosts of two men he killed. That night, out drinking, Helen tries to sing at a bar. Next day, Fran visits his wife and children and meets a grandson. He could stay, but decides it's not for him.

-She has been a boom in its entire life.

No boom is my life.

She must have been something else before.

-And what was she before?

That I do not know.

She was perhaps just a little girl.

It is thus something.

A little girl

She must be up and stand.

I slept out in the night, and it was cold.

You need a bit of hot soup,

so you do not freeze to the ice.

to her, and a carpet.

Ambulansefolkene not take her.

What should she with an ambulance?

She will only sleep from everything together.

It may well freeze,

even if one is full.

I have not given up yet.

I wait until I will be retired.

You are good enough. No one can see the difference

for you and the gentlemenene there.

Gentlemen and bomser ...

There is no difference.

Aside from that gentlemen

would like to be like gentlemen, --

-And would like to bomser

be as bomser. Have I right?

-You are smart.

-It was a great song you sang.

I remember you sang it in the radio.

I have even sung it.

Not so that I look like.

You can measure up

with anyone here.

You should only take you out.

Once Francis got money,

He ran out and bought roses to me.

We were nyforelsket. We had

a great apartment in Hamilton Street.

The infernal dead.

They travel around together.

-And there's the flowers.

that you had a permanent resident.

We were here almost a year.

-I can not remember such.

We had to sell Steinway & Sons grand piano -

and the beautiful china team.

-"Buy the best," said my father.

-Sing a number of us, Helen.

-Come on.

-No, no.

-He can all songs.

People loved

the way I sang it on.

We have a veteran

who will sing a number for us.

Helen, it can not be done better.

-You are the star gave birth.

-But are you there?

Thank you very much.

Lovely.

Thank you.

-Beautiful, old tart.

-Not a bad thing. A drink on the house.

-Is not it a wonderful evening?

-The degree.

The ultra-comfortable.

Hello, go away!

Forsvinn of here!

The dogs are there forever.

Damn. See here.

Ormene creeps in and out.

The creeps in the nose and mouth.

-Go away from me.

-I have money!

They have taken the money!

Svin!

-What is it?

-15 dollars!

-They are gone.

-15 dollars, Francis!

Forget the money.

We obtain a few more tomorrow.

-Damn, too.

-Bls in the money.

Where have you 15 dollars come from?

-They are from your son Billy.

-You are full of fraud, woman.

Sandra is dead.

She has requested a die.

Her life was not

human dignity longer.

I want to go into the church in the morning.

What do I do with you now?

You can be here. The beds are concerned,

but you can sleep on a bench.

It will, I prefer not to.

We can go over to Jack.

He said:
Just came back.

When we go there.

You have to take advantage of Sandra, Pee Wee.

-What is she to the last name?

-The judge in that I do not.

-It does not matter now.

-There has never done.

Rudy ...

-I visited the grave of Gerald today.

-Did you know?

This is the first time, does not it?

-Yes.

-You think much of him at this time.

I always think of him.

I found the grave, and talked to him.

How could you talk to him?

I stood and spoke to the grass.

I am just as crazy as Rudy.

You are not crazy. This is because

you've come back here.

No ...

It is not that.

There was something Billy said.

There, I have not told you.

He says --

-That Annie has never told anyone

that it was I who lost the child.

Fortalt it to the police?

Not to anyone.

Neither of Billy or Peggy.

Not to someone in the family.

Is not it great?

It's amazing that a woman --

-That has all that,

not at all say it to anyone.

You go and think of them.

Maybe you should visit them.

-It is not helpful.

-So you will be made purely board.

The dead dirtbag.

There are friendly now.

-What is wrong?

-Alt.

-You sang as a song.

-Yes, I did it.

I sang,

while Sandra was lying and died there.

She was to die.

Her time was over.

That, I believe not. I think we die,

when we do not keep it out more.
