THIS LITTLE GIRL

CLAIMS:

SHE NOT ONLY SAW GOD

AND SPOKE TO HIM,

BUT HE SPOKE:

TO HER AS WELL.

WHO ARE WE TO SAY

THAT SHE DIDN'T?

MAYBE SHE DID.

MAYBE SHE DIDN'T.

LOOK, SIR,

WE'VE ALL VOTED.

I KNOW, AND YOU SAID

IF SHE'S RIGH THEN WE'RE ALL WRONG.

WELL...

HOW DID YOU KNOW

I SAID THAT?

I ALSO READ:

TEA LEAVES.

LOOK, I MEAN,

WE ARE COMPETEN PROFESSIONALS.

WE KNOW:

OUR BUSINESS.

WE'VE BEEN OVER

THIS CASE BACKWARDS

AND FORWARDS,

AND WE HAVE MADE

OUR DECISION.

I WOULDN'T WANT THIS

TO GET AROUND,

BUT, IF WE'RE

SO COMPETENT,

SO RIGHT IN ALL:

OUR METHODS AND THEORIES,

HOW IS IT SO MANY PEOPLE

IN INSTITUTIONS:

NEVER GET OUT?

BUT THAT'S A SITUATION

BEYOND OUR CONTROL.

MANY PEOPLE WILL NEVER

BE ABLE TO DISTINGUISH

BETWEEN REALITY:

AND ILLUSION.

REMEMBER, SOMETIMES

IT'S VERY DIFFICUL TO DETERMINE WHAT IS REALITY

AND WHAT IS ILLUSION.

FOR INSTANCE,

THE, UH, THE CHANDELIER--

NOW, THAT'S REALITY.

WE ALL LOOKED UP,

WE ALL SAW IT.

WE ALL KNOW IT'S THERE.

BUT IS IT?

[GASP]

[GASP]

OH, MY GOD...

IT IS GOD.

WHAT'S THE ILLUSION,

AND WHAT'S THE REALITY?

DID THE CHANDELIER

DISAPPEAR OR NOT?

WE'RE ALL

INTELLIGENT PEOPLE.

DID WE SEE IT,

OR DIDN'T WE SEE IT?

MAYBE THAT LITTLE GIRL

DID SEE AND TALK WITH GOD.

WHERE IS IT WRITTEN

THAT MOSES HAD AN EXCLUSIVE?

JUST BECAUSE:

WE HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO GOD

DOESN'T MEAN SHE HASN'T.

I DON'T KNOW

WHAT'S GOING ON

OR WHO YOU ARE--

MAYBE A MAGICIAN

OR A HYPNOTIST--

BUT THERE ARE SOME

THINGS I'M SURE OF.

I KNOW THAT WE'RE ALL

PSYCHIATRISTS HERE.

I KNOW I'M

BENJAMIN CHARLES WHITLEY.

I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN.

I PAY $2,200 A MONTH

ALIMONY.

I KNOW THIS IS:

THE UCLA:

MEDICAL CENTER,

AND I KNOW IT IS

11:
30 IN THE MORNING.

DOCTOR...

ARE YOU SURE:

IT'S MORNING?

[GASP]

[GASP]

DOCTOR, YOU'RE RIGHT.

IT IS 11:
30

IN THE MORNING.

I KNOW WE'RE ALL

ANXIOUS TO GET HOME,

BUT BEFORE:

WE JUDGE TRACY,

SHOULDN'T WE ALL

BE A LITTLE MORE SURE

OF OURSELVES?

IF WE TOLD EVERYBODY

THAT WE SAW:

DAY TURN INTO NIGH AND NIGHT INTO DAY,

THEY'D THROW US

OUT OF SCHOOL, TOO.

SO MAYBE TRACY:

DID SEE GOD.

MAYBE YOU'RE SEEING HIM

RIGHT NOW.

MAYBE YOU'RE NOT.

THINK ABOUT IT.

GIVE I SOME THOUGHT.

[GASP]

[GASP]

[GASP]

IF YOU'LL EXCUSE US,

WE'RE GOING TO

TAKE TRACY HOME NOW.

WE'VE GOT TO GET HER

READY FOR SCHOOL

IN THE MORNING.

COME ON, BABY.

AHEM.

I, UH...

I DON'T KNOW, UH,

WHETHER ANY OF US HERE

UNDERSTAND WHAT, UH...

WHAT--WHA REALLY HAPPENED HERE,

BUT I'M

INCLINED TO THINK

THAT IT MIGHT BE

A VERY GOOD IDEA

IF WE KEEP I TO OURSELVES.

YEAH.

YEAH.

YEAH.

VERY WELL, THEN...

THE CASE OF TRACY RICHARDS

IS CLOSED.

THANK GOD.

YOU'RE WELCOME.

TO THE THREE OF US.

HOW ABOU A LITTLE KISS, HUH?

THANK YOU.

HOW ABOUT ONE:

OVER HERE?

WITH PLEASURE.

RECONCILIATIONS:

ARE MORE FUN:

THAN WEDDINGS.

EXCUSE ME.

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

WHERE YOU GOING?

JUST TO THE LOUNGE

FOR A SECOND.

AH.

DON'T BE TOO LONG.

YOUR EGG FOO YUNG

WILL GET COLD.

OK.

COME IN, TRACY.

I WAS WAITING:

FOR THE DOOR TO OPEN

BY ITSELF.

SORRY. I FORGOT.

YOU SEE, TRACY,

EVERYTHING WORKED OUT.

IT SURE DID.

IT'S NEAT THE WAY

YOU GOT MY PARENTS

TOGETHER AGAIN.

NO, NO. THEY DID THA BY THEMSELVES.

AW, I BE YOU ARRANGED

THE WHOLE THING.

HONEST TO ME,

I DIDN'T.

TRACY, THE REASON

I CALLED YOU--

I WANT TO THANK YOU

AND ALL THE CHILDREN

FOR THE WONDERFUL JOB

YOU DID.

WILL I EVER:

SEE YOU AGAIN?

IF I EVER HAVE:

A REAL BIG PROBLEM,

YOU'LL BE THE FIRST ONE

I'LL CALL.

YOU WON'T NEED ME.

YOU'RE GOD.

YOU DON'T NEED

ANYBODY.

GOD NEEDS EVERYONE.

I NEED ALL THE HELP

I CAN GET.

GOODBYE, TRACY.

GO AHEAD, TRACY.

THERE'S NOTHING WORSE

THAN COLD EGG FOO YUNG.

Josh Greenfeld

Josh Greenfeld (27 February 1928 – 11 May 2018) was an author and screenwriter mostly known for his screenplay for the 1974 film Harry and Tonto along with Paul Mazursky, which earned them an Academy Award nomination and its star, Art Carney, the Oscar itself for Best Actor. Greenfeld also wrote Oh, God! Book II and the TV special Lovey and is the author of several books about his autistic son, Noah Greenfeld. The trilogy, A Child Called Noah, A Place for Noah, and A Client Called Noah, detail the effects that Noah's disabilities place on the Greenfelds and the extraordinary lengths that the family went through to find the very best care available for their son. His wife, Fumiko Kometani, is a Japanese writer and has won the Akutagawa Prize, Japan's most prestigious literary award; she too wrote about their son and his developmental disability. His older son, Karl Taro Greenfeld, a special contributor to Portfolio and Details, wrote his own story of growing up with Noah entitled Boy Alone: A Brother's Memoir.Among Greenfeld's plays are Clandestine on the Morning Line, I Have a Dream, The Last Two Jews of Kabul, Whoosh!, and Canal Street. His novels include O for a Master of Magic, The Return of Mr. Hollywood, and What Happened Was This. In 1968, Greenfeld signed the "Writers and Editors War Tax Protest" pledge, vowing to refuse tax payments in protest against the Vietnam War.Greenfeld attended Brooklyn College; he received a BA from the University of Michigan and an MA from Columbia University. more…
