Lars And The Real Girl Page #5

- That's all I want.

Well, it's not like you are

one thing or the other, okay?

There's still a kid inside

but you... you grow up...

when you decide to do right? Okay?

And not what's right for you,

what's right for everyone.

Even when it hurts.

Okay...

Like what?

Like...

You know, like:

you don't jerk people around, you know

and... and you don't cheat on your woman

and you take care your family,

you know, you admit when you're wrong.

Or you try to anyways.

That's all I can think of, you know?

It sounds like it's easy,

but for some reasons, it's not.

I know. Because nothing is easy.

It's like the old man, he didn't have

to take care of two kids alone.

He could have given us to an orphanage

or something, you know. People do that.

But he loved us, and he

tried to do right,

even though he didn't know how,

and even though he had a broken heart.

I shouldn't have left you alone with him.

He was too sad, it scared me...

And I just...

I just ran,

and that was selfish

and I'm sorry.

That's okay.

Okay.

You've crossed the line.

- Well you kept swiping my action figures.

- I hide them, I don't hang them.

Well, whatever, Margo, you're

too old for that thing anyway, okay?

- Take off the news.

- No.

- No.

- Take it off.

Face it, Margo, the bear is dead, okay?

Burn on you.

I warned her.

It's not just the bear.

I broke up with Erik.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Yeah, you know, I didn't even have a good reason.

At least one that's very interesting.

Why was he your boyfriend?

Because I was lonely.

Oh yeah?

Thank you.

Sure.

What are you doing on Friday night?

School board meeting.

Bianca got elected so...

- That's great.

- Yeah.

Why?

I was just thinking that maybe

we could all go out... sometime.

Never mind.

After I drop off Bianca,

I'm free.

But it's just me, so...

That would be great, Lars.

Thank you.

Nice shot.

- You've pretty too much spin on the ball.

- I know.

- Sorry, we're full up.

- Next thing is a lady tournament.

No way, dude.

Let them lady go.

You know aint nothing.

No shreddin' me.

Is that Lars?

- Hey, buddy.

- We're full.

No ploblema.

- Margo, kick your butt.

- No, Nelson. I'll kick your butt.

- Congratulations.

- Thanks.

Hey baby you're bowling on my life.

This is exactly what I needed.

Things look so much better.

Hey, thanks for going bowling with me, Lars.

I don't wanna give you the wrong idea

about this.

I never could cheat on Bianca.

Ever.

No. Oh my God, I hope you didn't think that, Lars.

I would never do that.

I would never do that.

Okay, good.

Yeah. Me neither.

'Cos a man doesn't cheat on his woman,

that's a...

Absolutely...

and vice versa.

Besides, I don't mean to steal anybody's boyfriend.

ONe day I'll find a man of my own and...

We'll be happy too.

Yeah, that's the way it works, I guess.

Thanks.

Snow.

I was hoping that winter was over.

No, that's just a thaw.

Winter isn't over till Easter.

Thanks again.

Good night, Lars.

I'm not sure how well these treatments are working.

No?

What do you think?

I don't know.

I'm sorry.

I don't know, it's hard.

It's hard because...

I know that she loves me. But I ask

her to marry me, and she says no.

She says, I don't know.

Or she doesn't say anything.

Nothing?

When I was a child,

I'd speak as a child.

I understood as a child.

Does that feel good?

Wake up!

Wake up!

She won't wake up.

Bianca. I think she's unconscious, hey.

- Are you sure?

- Look at me, Bianca.

Hey, hey hey hey hey.

- Bianca is unconscious.

- Can you hear me? Bianca.

Wake up.

She looks alright, she looks alright.

She looks alright... hey hey hey hey.

- Call 911.

- Okay, okay.

Well, I don't know.

Why do you always expect

me to know what to do?

They are there, call Dr. Birnman.

O is for the only one I see

V is very very extraordinary

E is even more than anyone

that you adore

I'm sorry, you'll have to wait out here.

Love is all that I can give to you...

Doctor's on the way.

- Hello? Hello?

- Lars, Lars.

What?

What?

Bianca is very sick.

No, she's not, she's not.

C'mon, she's not sick.

She's not, Lars.

She's dying.

- But...?

- Oh God.

We're gonna keep her here until

she's stable, but...

she wants to go home with Lars tonight.

- Can I see her?

- Sure.

What?

I'm sorry, but I...

I just don't get it. I don't.

I mean, what's that gonna do to him?

How could you let this happen?

No, I'm not letting it happen, it's Lars.

It's always been Lars.

He's making the decisions.

He's the one who found her unconscious.

He's the one who said she's dying.

You okay back there?

They gave her something, so she's asleep.

Anything you want, Lars?

I want to stay together with her

in the pink room tonight.

Come down to the family room, Lars.

Let Bianca rest.

We sent Gus and Karin to the movies.

They didn't want to leave you too.

I'm glad they left.

I feel terrible with all this is happening

so close to the baby coming.

This how life is, Lars.

Everything at once.

We brought casseroles.

Thank you.

Is there something I should

be doing right now?

No, dear.

You eat.

We came over to sit.

That's what people do when tragedy strikes.

They come over and sit.

Don't you feel a little better?

I got spring fever. We're going to the lake.

You wanna come?

Hey Lars, why don't you come with us?

It'll do everybody good.

Bianca, don't you want to see

this beautiful day?

- Is there a storm coming?

- The weather said no.

It looks like a storm to me.

Well, I need to stretch my legs.

Let's take a chance.

Lars.

I think we're gonna watch the water.

Well, we won't be far.

- Holler if you need us.

- Okay.

So you think it's not the right color?

I don't know. Does it match the curtains?

- I think so, here, just be careful.

- Okay.

No no, don't run.

Lars.

Lars!

Lars asked us not to wear black today.

He did so to remind us that this

is no ordinary funeral.

We are here to celebrate Bianca's

extraordinary life.

From her wheelchair, Bianca

reached out and touched us all

in ways we could have never imagined.

She was a teacher.

She was a lesson in courage.

And Bianca loved us all.

Especially Lars.

Especially him.

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm sorry, I just...

I don't know... it's just...

funerals and mom and dad, you know.

- He's unbelievable.

- Yes.

I wanted to thank you for...

Gus.

- So shall we see you in the house?

- Of course.

Sure.

She asked me not to be sad

but I can't help it.

Yeah, me neither.

But it'll all get better with time.

That's what everyone keeps saying, so...

It's true, I think, in a way.

But there'll never be anybody like her.

I suppose we should...

catch up with everyone.

Would you want to take a walk?

Yes.
