Last Chance Harvey Page #6

but why is there a large smoked ham under

the stairs?

Oh, that. Yes.

It's, um...

The neighbor gave it to me.

The Polish neighbor?

So, probably not

a mass murderer.

Probably not.

Are you sure

you're gonna be all right?

Yeah. Of course I will.

I'll be fine.

Men. Who needs them?

Remember, we've got Greece

to look forward to.

Yeah.

Got lipstick on your face.

See you.

- Morning, Kate.

- Morning, Paddy.

- Lovely as ever.

- Thank you.

Right.

Okay, thanks a lot.

I appreciate it.

Thank you.

Hello. PSA.

Heathrow branch.

Hello.

Is there a Kate Walker there?

- It's Harvey.

- Hold on.

Kate, it's for you.

Some guy called Harvey.

I'm sorry,

she's, uh, not here.

Please, this is important.

Kate!

I'm sorry.

She's busy.

She won't come.

Okay, thanks.

Sir, if I can get you

to sign here.

Sure.

Thank you.

Hello?

Hey, Harvey. It's Marvin.

Where are you?

I'm still in London, Marvin.

Well, you get yourself back here,

my friend.

I got some great news.

You were right.

The Samuelson account,

none of the kids could handle it.

They couldn't nail it.

They ended up picking

one of your old tunes.

They want you to come back

and update it.

We need you back, Harvey.

Your old room's here waiting for you.

Harvey?

- Oh, well, that's great, Marvin.

- Yeah. Yeah. It's great.

Look, I know

when to eat humble pie.

So, hey, when can you

get back here?

Harvey?

I'm not coming back.

What?

I quit.

What do you mean you quit,

Harvey?

Look, man, you need us.

No. You know, I don't.

As you said, it's my last chance.

Look, I got to go.

Taxi!

Taxi, Heathrow.

I'm in a hurry.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I'm looking for Kate Walker.

Kate.

Who wants to know?

A friend.

Oonagh, there's a man out here

asking for Kate.

- He says "a friend. "

- Yes.

- Friend?

- Well, more than a friend.

- More than a friend?

- Yes.

- Are you the American?

- Yes, that's right.

She likes you.

I can tell.

Don't you go messing her around, now.

Don't you hurt her.

Oh, I won't.

I wouldn't.

She's not here.

She's left for the day.

You might still find her

at her class.

In fact, it starts about now.

It's down at the South Bank.

Called the National.

- Yes, I know.

- Oh, you know, do you?

- Yes.

- Go on. Go and get her.

See you, Harvey.

"The blood oozes from his wound like dark

chocolate on a warm summer's day.

He could still smell her on his glove-

that deep, penetrating smell of sex.

It was silent, but with the faint sound of

dripping sweat.

Salt was the taste

that he remembered most-

so salubrious, so sensual,

so sexy. "

Oh, thank you.

Here you go.

- Hey.

- Hi.

You still here,

still in London?

Sure.

- Can I explain?

- No no.

- You don't need to explain, Harvey.

- I want to.

- No, honestly. I don't need to-

- Kate, please.

- I was in a hospital.

- Oh, God. Why?

No. It's nothing.

I left my pills in New York.

I have this irregular heartbeat.

- I had it since I was a kid.

- Arrhythmia.

- How do you know what it is?

- 'Cause my father has it.

Well, young men get it, too.

Aw, Kate, I'm so sorry

I wasn't there.

- Oh, it's fine, Harvey.

- No.

I had a lovely time, Harvey,

and I like you- I really do.

Thank you.

But, you know, I don't really do fountains

at noon either.

I mean, I live in-

Well, I live in Wilton Green,

and you live in wherever you-

- I live in White Plains.

- Exactly.

And Monday morning, life kicks in,

and we're not teenagers.

Got a life and our jobs and our family

and everything, and I had a lovely time.

- I won't forget it. Thank you. But-

- What?

- Well, it's not, you know, real life.

- It is.

- No, it isn't, Harvey.

- It is.

- No, it's not, Harvey.

- No. It is real life.

- It's real life for me.

- No, no. I know. I know.

But it's not just about you, is it?

It's about me, as well.

You don't know anything about me.

Look at me. I mean, it's pathetic.

I actually expected you

not to show.

In fact, I think I actually almost wanted you

not to show

because it's just sort of easier

that way.

You know,

you just dive in there.

You just whoosh anywhere.

It's the deep end,

and I'm not a bloody swimming pool,

Harvey, and I'm not-

I'm not gonna do it.

I'm not gonna do it.

I'm not gonna do it

because it'll hurt.

Sometime or other, there will be-

you know, it's not working,

or I need my space, or whatever it is,

and it will end, and it will hurt,

and I won't do it.

I won't do it,

and I won't...

You see,

what I think it is, is-

is I think I'm more comfortable

with being disappointed.

I think I'm angry with you

for trying to take that away.

Mum, I love you,

but not now.

Should I take that

as a hopeful sign?

If you give me

just a little wider smile.

Oh, shut up, Harvey.

So how's this going to work,

Mr. Shine?

I have absolutely no idea.

But it will.

I promise you that.

Shall we walk?

Yes.

- You okay?

- Uh, yeah.

Hang on a sec.

Oh.

That's better.

I think

you're my kind of girl.

Why don't you ask me

those questions?

Which ones?

You know, at the airport,

when I avoided you.

- Oh, the questionnaire.

- Yes.

Oh, okay. Name?

Harvey Shine.

Place of residence?

I'm in transition.

- Hi.

- Hello.

I wanted to say thank you

for the ham,

and sorry for taking so long

to say thank you.

You're welcome.

- It's smoked.

- Yes.

- Please, come in.

- Oh, no. I can't. I shouldn't.

- I have to...

- Please.

Perhaps, um...

Perhaps you could just show me

how to cut it.

Absolutely.

Please, come in.
