He used to bring the whole world

outside to me.

Armloads of flowers...

...and branches from trees.

So I could feel them.

What are you going to do now?

Live here, like I always have.

You're going to see the doctor now,

aren't you? Now that you're free?

I don't know what I'll do.

What does he say about

your seeing again? Is there a chance?

He used to think so,

but it's been a long time.

He said it was important not to wait.

It might be different now.

Don't you want me to help you?

Or are you afraid to find out?

I don't think you've ever been

afraid of anything in your life.

How would you know? You aren't blind.

Are you?

Yes, I'm afraid.

Suppose the doctor operates.

Suppose he fails.

At least I had Danny.

Now I don't even have Danny to look after.

Leave me alone!

- You don't have to worry about me.

- I wanna help you.

You're feeling sorry for me.

I don't want anyone feeling sorry for me.

Why don't you go? The way you are...

...I don't see how you can help anybody.

Please!

- Mary!

- Please!

Please. Please go now. Please.

Please go now.

Okay, I'll stop worrying.

Thank you.

Hey there.

If you wanna pick up your car,

I'll give you a lift. Get in.

Kind of a long walk over to my place.

I suppose you...

...have to be pretty tough

in your line of work, don't you?

Sometimes people who are never alone

are the loneliest.

Most lonely people try to figure it out,

about loneliness.

Somebody had to tell you.

The way you're going, you won't

be good to anybody. Not even yourself!

Somebody had to tell you.

To get anything out of this life,

you gotta put something in it.

From the heart!

Mary.

Jim?

Jim.
