Rachel, Rachel Page #7

- You know I can't be left alone, that's...

- Then come with me.

Doctor doesn't want me to exert myself.

All you'd have to do is get on a bus.

I don't want to, Rachel.

[SOBBING]

Please! Please. Please.

You don't want to what? You don't want

to go or you don't want to stay?

I don't want to.

You're the cruelest thing that ever lived.

Don't you care what happens to me?

After all those sleepy-bye pills...

...and chocolate bars

and sandwiches and walks...

...can you ask me that?

Yes, I care.

But I can't keep you alive.

That's not up to me.

Never was.

Would I have to sell my furniture?

Couldn't I even take my room?

Yes, you can take your room.

You can take anything you like.

RACHEL:

Mother. Mama.

Mommy.

All the way back.

Such a long, sad lonely awful time.

[HORN HONKS]

The moment comes.

I'm always pushing things

out of their cages.

Calla.

Sometimes I wish

I could've been different for you.

Yeah, well, don't go making

a fool of yourself.

You know how you feel about fools.

Maybe I'm proud to be one.

Calla.

Take care.

I hope you find what you want.

Not to worry. I'll survive.

YOUNG RACHEL [SINGING]:

The wind blows low, the wind blows high

The snow comes falling from the sky

Rachel Cameron says she'll die

For the want of the Golden City

She is handsome, she is pretty

She's the queen of the Golden City

She is pretty, one, two, three

In the Golden City

The wind said, "When?"

The wind said, "Soon"

The dream comes flying from the moon

Rachel Cameron sings the tune

At the gates of the Golden City

They are happy, they are pretty

All who dwell in the Golden City

They are happy...

RACHEL:

Where I'm going anything may happen.

Nothing may happen.

Maybe I'll find a friend.

Maybe I'll even marry

a middle-aged widower...

... and have children in my time.

Most of the chances are against it...

... but not, I think, quite all.

It may be that my children

will always be temporary...

... never to be held.

But so are everyone's.

I will be afraid.

Always.

I may be lonely always.

What will happen?

What will happen?
