I mean, I'd do it myself,

but I always faint.

Seriously?

Yeah, yeah, it's all ready.

Just put it in.

Um, okay, on the count of three.

Yep.

One, two, three.

Ow.

Are you done?

Yeah.

Thanks.

What was that all about?

I'm trying to get pregnant.

Really?

Does Marlon know?

No.

I'm just so bored.

Come on!

# We're leaving today

# Your trouble and sorrow

# Let love touch us now

Do you know what time it is?

Yeah.

It's a bit see-through.

Is it?

I think you should

wear just the dress.

I know!

Let me hold your

jacket for you.

They'll kick me out.

We could leave.

Alice, darling!

Peter, Felix.

Indira, darling, this is Alice.

You two would like each other.

I'm so bored I could die.

Morris is learning to fly.

A plane.

Wow.

I want to put my hand out the

window and feel the air rush by.

Fabulous party.

Thank you, darling.

How are you?

Um, yeah, good.

I signed back up to the agency.

Trying to make some money.

Probably too old now, though.

How are you?

I heard about France.

How about you?

Where have you been?

Who have you been seeing?

Who have you been doing?

Norway.

Norway?

# I think it's time

to take a look in your mind #

# For some help

# You better listen now

# Let love

touch us now, people #

# Let love touch us now

# Mmm, let love touch us

# Let some love touch you now

# While we still got

a clear blue sky up above #

Right, everybody!

Charades in the drawing room.

Ears.

Doggy.

Cop.

Scissor-head.

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!

Peter Pan!

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!

Not everything is

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Barbara.

You're all useless.

Velveteen Rabbit.

It's Cat on a Hot Tin Roof!

Alice, your turn.

Oh!

A mystical tool which is

seldom used these days.

Chinese face reading.

Nothing... Nothing.

Right. Let's play hide-and-seek.

Where are the candles?

Back in a moment.

Okay.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

He's never going to

make you happy.

I could tell,

the moment I saw you both.

But... you've been pushing us

together the whole time.

But now I'm going to

care about you.

You don't care about me.

Not really.

I just don't get it.

What is it you want?

I've always gotten Felix

what he wanted.

Sure. Whatever.

Alice?

Felix! Darling!

So happy for you.

You look wonderful.

You wouldn't happened to have

seen Alice, would you?

That's the game, isn't it?

You have to find her.

Alice?

Alice was looking for you.

Has anyone seen Alice?

No.

Hey, where are you?

Have you heard?

No, what?

Is she there?

Who?

That f***ing b*tch!

Orna! Put her on.

I need to talk to her.

It's Benny.

She's, um--

She's not here.

All right, I'm coming.

I'm f***ing coming.

Tell her I'm coming.

Felix.

Marlon.

Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Weren't you supposed to be

falling in love?

Yeah, right.

I don't now.

I'm so confused.

I don't know if I'm doing it

because it's what I want to do,

or it's what Orna

planned for me.

Right. Right.

Yeah...

It's a tricky one.

Yeah. She just enjoys

manipulating people, I think.

I don't know if it's a game,

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

No.

What about Felix?

He's around.

He loves me.

Really?

Yeah.

Aren't you, um...

gonna miss things?

Like, uh...

kissing those people you've

been inching towards,

for years...

Never too late

for a first kiss.

'Cause, you see...

I don't think you're that kind

of person, that's all.

I think you're the kind of

person that everyone wants.

But no one can have.

I'll bore you to tears.

Just-- nothing.

Just playing...

Don't you love this song?

If I could dance to one song,

the rest of my life,

I think this might be it.

If I could be a dancer...

If people would come from miles

around, just to see me dance.

How fabulous would that be?

In my spare time I could sew

outfits for my dancing.

Live in a peach tree.

And eat peaches forever.

Have a hundred men

in love with me.

Where you could

make love to a song.

Do you think this

is what heaven is like?

How awful that

this night will end,

and we'll all have to trip off

to our own bedrooms.

How fabulous if we could all

sleep in one giant bed.

The whole world just writhing

and embracing each other.

You have no idea how much

I've missed you.

# My love is selfish

# And I bet that yours is too

# What is this peculiar word

called "truth"? #

Shh... shh. Hey...

Stupid b*tch!

F*** you, Orna!

# Will cut you out

to satisfy its thirst #

# For the meaning of a ritual

# So habitual and cursed

# My love is selfish

# How it separates the Earth

# It takes every shiny stone

# But leaves the dirt

# For the cowards

in the corner #

# Who just don't know

what they're worth #

# They've been twisted by

a hollow kind of pain #

# I can see it in their eyes

# But I ignore it every day

# 'Cause my love is selfish

# And it remembers everything

# But the first time

it was moved enough to sing #

# How it dangled

on that stage #

# Just like a puppet

on a string #

# I see you gently

# I see you torn

# I see our loch's saint

mention a man of bones #

# Can't find the reason

# In an isle of stone

# If the weather's blinding

# Let me keep you warm

# So warm

# Cold hands, warm heart

# Cold hands,

warm heart #

# Cold hands, warm heart

# Cold hands,

warm heart #

# Are you dancing, Alice?

# Are you of the world?

# Do you need a friend?

# Let me see you twirl

# Charmed and waiting

# Measured, gone

# Have ever touched your face

this long? #

# So long

# Cold hands, warm heart

# Cold hands,

warm heart #

# Cold hands, warm heart

# Cold hands,

warm heart #

# If you're walking

# You can walk with me

# And our feet can

tap in an extra beat #

# But that's not your way

# No, you're too free

# But your breeze can bother

all my leaves #

# Leaves

# You're in a sonnet

# You're in a prayer

# You're in a magazine

# You were never there

# You're with the seasons

# You're with the weed

# You're with the cherry blossom

at my feet #

# On the street

# Cold hands, warm heart

# Cold hands,

warm heart #

# Cold hands, warm heart

# Cold hands,

warm heart #
