Music From Another Room Page #8

into passion blindly.

How we lose our perspective,

and,

right in the middle of it,

real life happens...

- ... catches up and changes everything.

- Yes, it does.

- Everything comes crashing down.

- Like a stone.

Yeah.

I feel like a weight's

been lifted off my back...

...'cause I hated feeling

about you like that.

Did you?

Yeah. It made me feel foolish.

Stupid.

Like someone else was inside me,

saying those things, doing them.

- And like you said, it can't last, can it?

- No, it can't.

- Doesn't...

- Doesn't, not at all.

- I'm so sorry about your mother.

- Thank you.

- Did you tell Eric?

- About us?

Yes, about us.

What did he say?

Yes, I did, and he said it's

already forgotten.

See, that's great.

He can forget something

like that ever happened.

I wish I could be more like that.

I wish I could be

more controlled.

I'll see you on Monday.

I'm leaving in a couple of days.

Probably better like this.

Yes, much.

I'm sorry if I messed

anything up for you.

- You didn't.

- You sure?

Good-bye.

So, Irene, you saw Estelle?

Yes. She seemed depressed to me,

at the funeral.

Yes. She was upset.

She seemed upset.

Hold on a second, honey.

Eric has something to tell us.

I was gonna say that Anna and I

are flying to Paris to get married.

- Paris! How romantic.

- That's wonderful.

- Congratulations, you guys.

- I'm happy for you, darling.

- Thanks, Dad.

- When are you guys heading out?

- Sunday.

- Sunday? That soon?

Does anybody

want more coffee?

I'll have some.

Why did you want to see me?

I have to go and pack.

Jesus finished reading

Anna Karenina to me.

- You didn't ask me here to tell me that.

- Mother was wrong.

It's not a great love story.

It's a stupid love story.

- Is it?

- Yes.

She throws herself

under a train.

I've read it.

But even after she did it,

she realizes she made a mistake.

She tries to get out,

but it's too late.

What's your point?

- Don't go to Paris.

- And what should I do instead?

- Find Danny. Go with him.

- You're being childish!

I'm not being childish.

You don't love Eric.

- Yes, I do, in my way.

- And what way is that?

I can't explain it to you right now.

There are other things involved.

- What things?

- Karen, Father, Billy, you.

- Don't hide behind us, Anna.

- What do you mean, hide behind you?

We don't need you.

You don't need me?

How can you say that to me?

My God! I have nursed you

all when you were sick!

I've given you money.

I've taken care of your children.

I've lied for you!

And you just stand there

and say you don't need me?

Because we don't.

Look, it's not the same.

Everything's changed.

- What? What's changed?

- Everything. Everyone.

Danny's love for you is so enormous,

it spilled over onto everyone else.

He's changed you, too...

...only you're the

last one to notice it.

It's the mosaic

Danny worked on.

Jesus described it

to me yesterday.

You love him.

Of course I love him.

Of course I do.

But I'm scared.

I've been scared

my whole life.

It's only now...

...that I'm in love,

I'm not scared.

- Where did he say he was going?

- I don't know.

- She took my Ring Ding.

- Did not!

- Did you take his Ring Ding?

- Karen, please, think.

Atlanta.

He said there was work there.

- Did he say how he was getting there?

- The train, I think.

Thank you.

Listen, you don't want that.

The sugar's poison.

You know, they injected

a rat 20 times a day...

...for five years with this stuff.

Do you know

what it died of?

I need to find the

train to Atlanta.

What are you doing here?

- You were right.

- What about?

About everything.

About us. I was wrong.

- No, you weren't.

- Yes, I was.

No, you weren't.

Look, my train's leaving.

I've gotta go.

- No. Listen.

- I'm really sorry.

Listen.

My mother was right.

She said it was my turn to do something

extraordinary and I'm doing it.

I'm here at a train station

in the middle of the night...

...like a character in a Russian novel,

and I'm begging you.

- To do what?

- To take me with you.

You don't know

where I'm going.

- I don't care!

- No. Listen to yourself.

This is passion.

Passion talking.

I know all about it. Believe me.

And it feels fun.

You do these stupid things like this.

But in the end, it doesn't work.

It won't last.

What have I done to you?

What?

You sound just like me.

- Is that bad?

- Yes.

It's terrible.

- I'm sorry.

- Wait.

We'll do it your way then.

We'll let fate decide.

Is that a real coin?

Of course it's a real coin.

Why wouldn't it be?

No.

No reason.

All right, heads, I go with you,

and tails, you can go away...

...and I'll never bother

you again. Deal?

All right, deal.

- But I read the coin.

- All right. You read the coin.

- Okay, you ready?

- Toss it.

What is it?

Aren't you gonna read it?

It's heads.

God, I love you.

You did good, partner.

Mom would have

gotten a kick out of that.

I'm gonna marry her.

Well, there's lot easier

ways to meet a woman...

...especially for the woman.
