Nothing in Common Page #10

When you wanted to,

you could make me laugh.

Right from the beginning.

I was one charming guy,

wasn't I?

- To everybody except my mother.

- Oh, sh*t.

Oh.

Oh, what were we, Max?

Two kids who thought if you went out

on a couple of dates, you got married.

What couple of dates?

We went out eight or nine times.

Come on,

we had plenty of laughs.

I even tried to teach you how

to drive that old Hudson.

I wish there were

more things like that.

More moments.

We lived together a long time, Max,

but we were never friends.

Lorraine, you didn't know

how to have fun.

- Why didn't you teach me?

- I tried.

- I tried a million goddamn times.

- No, just a few times.

- And then you just gave up on me.

- You did the same thing.

Why didn't we talk, Max?

Why didn't we tell each

other how we felt?

Do you know

what we were, Max?

We were roommates.

Goddamn you for doing

what you did to yourself.

What you did to us.

Oh, God,

what happened to us, Max?

I cared.

I know I cared.

Bullshit.

I'm here, Dad.

You're here.

It's Honduran, Dad.

In case they give you

time for a smoke break.

Excuse me. We have to

take him to surgery now.

You look so distinguished, Charlie.

It's coming along great.

Could we have some makeup?

We have a bit of a shine.

Thanks.

- Mr. Gargas has a phone call.

- I'll be back.

- Everybody, let's take five minutes.

- Thank you.

David, how is he?

He lost his toes and part of one foot,

but he'll walk again with a cane.

Thank God it wasn't worse.

When are you coming back to work?

You're missing my photo

session with a naked head.

I don't know.

I don't know, Charlie.

Why don't you give my accounts

to Ted Geller till I come back.

Babysitting your father will

drive you crazy in a week.

Well, maybe.

But I wanna get to know him.

You never know, he may get

to know me a little too.

Good luck, kid.

Thanks, Charlie.

Hey, don't give up

my window.

Bye-bye.

Orderlies will put him

to bed in a moment.

Thank you.

I filled the refrigerator so there will be

something here when he comes home.

And I have some keys for you.

You'll be needing a second set.

Um...

I won't be coming back.

Your father might not be

getting any better, David.

He's going to need

a lot of care.

I can't...

I mean, he and I,

it's just, uh...

It's just impossible.

It just doesn't work.

I know, Mom.

Do you hate me for that?

No.

I do not hate you.

You're my mom.

Oh.

Call me.

I am shocked.

Put this down.

Thank you.

- Go and get the car.

- Yeah.

- The blue station wagon, right?

- Oh, thanks.

I found you.

I'm taking Max home

from the hospital today.

Your mother told me.

Thank you for coming

around so much.

Oh, that's okay.

Uh...

You're welcome.

For your theater, I bet.

- The school donated them.

- All three of them?

Well, it's a start.

The kids went to get my car.

My parking place is in Detroit.

You're the only girl I went out

with that my parents ever liked.

I'm the only girl you went out

with that your parents ever met.

This is comfortable.

This is very comfortable.

I think so too.

This is a lovely outfit

your son bought you.

He's always buying

me something.

- Good luck. And thanks for the pen.

- You're welcome, Gina.

We're signed out. Paid the bill.

Do you people work on commission?

- The orderly will be at the elevator.

- Thank you.

You all right?

That Gina gives a good sponge.

Let's get out of here.

You're the last person I thought

would ever come through for me.

Everyone's on a road

Of their own

Everyone's gotta find

A heart a home

Loving strangers

That's you and me

Gonna know the way to love

Is a little honesty

Everybody needs to know

That there will

one day come

A someone just in time

Everyone's on a road

Of their own

Everyone's gotta find

A heart a home

Loving strangers

That's you and me

Gonna know the way to love

Is a little honesty

Ooh, ooh

Need a helping hand

Of all the people in the world

I hoped you'd understand

You and me

Have grown so far apart

Don't show me

Faded photographs

Just tell it from the heart

And after all

That we've been through

Don't you know

I feel for you?

We've got

nothing in common

But so much to lose

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Whoa, now, at times

I wanted to shake you, break you

Bring you to your knees

Oh, now, at times

I wanted to touch you, hold you

Help me, help me, please

Whoa, whoa

Such a crying shame

You know I loved you then

You know I love you now

And nothing else

has changed

After all that

we've been through

Don't you know

I feel for you?

We've got

nothing in common

So much to lose

Ooh, ooh, ooh

After all that

we've been through

Don't you know

I feel for you?

We've got

nothing in common

So much to lose

Ooh, ooh, ooh
