Remember Sunday Page #5

Can you just, not do this tonight? I

don't think I can take your cynicism.

Look, maybe it's time to cut your losses

and save this one for the next girl.

42 years and not one claim.

Have I made one claim? No!

- Sam, you're shouting!

- Mr. Applebaum, we need to do this.

One carat blue diamonds just

don't fall through the cracks!

Ah, yeah, no, uh, Annie Mae's,

Addie Mae's, what time do they...

Oh, Great! Great, OK. Thank you, bye.

Hey, ev-re-body, everything okay?

Rehn, from the insurance

company is here, remember?

- It's uh, it's good to see you again, Gus.

- Hi... uh, what's going on?

Mr. Zed has asked a few questions,

about the blue diamond?

What blue diamond?

It's surprising...

I wasn't even sure that he'd... I'm just

not sure how I should feel about this.

Behind the mountain, there are mountains.

- I don't know what that means.

- Well, there's always more than meets the eye.

A man send you flowers... he

wants you to know he likes you.

I hope you like Freesias. Gus

This is her? Molly?

She's very pretty.

- So is it serious?

- I don't... I don't know.

That's why I asked you to come over.

Listen to this.

... ended up waiting for my life to start.

You know, I'm just stalling, and... I

don't want to wait for things any more.

- I don't want to be afraid...

- Molly...

I hate that I have to record our

conversations, you know, but

it's like, she's gonna remember that, she's

gonna remember what we did & what we said,

and, therefore, I need to remember all of it.

Boyfriends need to remember stuff like that.

Like... what kind of flowers girls like, or what

dress they wore on our first date! Normal stuff!.

But it's fair... to date her.

It is, if you let her make the decision.

Have you told her?

I meant to. I'm meaning to.

Look, it sounds like she

really, really, likes you.

So what if you tell her and it

doesn't matter at all, to her?

- Or, what if I do, and it ends everything!?

- Well, now's your chance.

That's her, isn't it? Molly?

- Oh, no, no, no, no! She's not on my schedule.

- Well, she is now.

- No, it's not my, this is not on my schedule! This is...

- Good luck!

It's not in my notes! What am I supposed to do?

Oh, Gosh! Oh, good Lord!

- Hiya!

- Hi!

Coming! Uh, coming! Huh!

Just, uh, just need to tidy up a little bit.

- One more second, Molly!

- Gus?

A-a-a-a-l-l-l-lmost there! Uh!

There we go!

- Hey, there!

- Hi! Um, I'm sorry, I should have, called first.

- No, you're right on time!

- I am?

- You aren't?

Um, I... the flowers that you sent me were

so nice, I just, I just wanted to thank you.

- And, I also had, um, a few questions.

- Sure, yeah, come in! Come in!

Can I get you, uh, some

soda, or some crackers,

- or, some soda crackers?

- Oh, no just anything's fine. Water?

Yeah, great, water. Comin' right up.

Hahhh, huh, yeah, hahhh... ha, ha...

'K!

Wow! It's very... scientific, in here.

Yeah, well, you know... uh, cream, sugar?

- Wait, what was I getting?

- Uh, just water, for me.

Right!

- Oh! No way!

- No way?

No way... no way, no way what?

No way... no way... no

Oh, yeah, hay, hay. No way! Egads! Yoda!

Well, my sis bought me these 'cause I was a

pretty big Star Wars nut, back in the day...

And now. Holy Wookie! You carry

Chewbacca with you, in your purse?

- Yeah!

- Awesome!

- Grape's my favorite, yours?

- Orange.

- So good!

- So...

- Yeah.

- Oh! Your water!

- Oh! Thank you.

- Yeah, sorry. Hmmmm...

- Um, I like your place.

- Thanks! Yeah, it's cozy, and... mine.

- So, you, you had a couple questions?

- Oh, yeah... yeah, I did... I, um...

did want to ask you some things, but, um...

What, what is... all this?

This was, uh, the last big project I worked on.

Do you remember the Mars exploration Rovers?

- Spirit, Opportunity... ringin' any bells?

- Oh, those little, uh, go-cart robots?

- Yeah!

- You worked on those? Get out!

But, what about the new one, the one that

just went up, did you work on that one, too?

- Uhh, I'm gonna get us some coffee.

- OK.

Just so much in here, and... I wish

I could go through all of it.

Take it, take it with you. I mean,

I've read it plenty of times.

- Is this what you're working on, now?

- What's that?

Forbidden lines. Radical new evidence of the

quintessence, by Gustaf Gillenwater, PhD.

- Gustaf? Fancy, is that you?

- It was, once upon a time.

I was, uh, searching for something.

Searching for what?

I dunno... a whisper... a trace.

Something. Anything.

Gus, you worked on all these amazing

things and you obviously loved it.

How could you just leave California

behind and, and come to New Orleans?

You know, people change, Molly.

Things happen in your life, sometimes,

you know, that really affect... your ...

Visible comets, 7:30 PM

Ho! Oh, Hey! Come with me, come with

me, I wanna show you something!

- Where we going?

- C'mon. Hep!

Watch your head. Watch your head.

Alright, good, look right there. What do you see?

- Oh, i-is it a... meteor?

- No... that is... look right here.

That is a comet!

It's frozen gas and ice and dust, that

gets pulled by gravity of the Sun.

But it's really the, the tail

of it, that distinguishes...

- What?

- When you talk about this, it's... home.

- This is home to you.

- I mean, it's kinda home for everybody,

really, where it all started.

All of the elements in the universe,

they, they all come from stars.

Y'know? It's wha... it's

what makes us up. It's um,

calcium in our bones, and

the iron in our blood...

It was all born, with the explosion

that... that started it all.

Like, y'know, without the stars, we wouldn't have

anything, there'd be no today, not you, not me...

We are stardust.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Approximately 93%, yeah.

You know, sometimes comets are thought to be lost.

And then they come back into orbit.

And when they're calculated, scientists find...

they weren't lost at all.

They're... they're found.

Stop for one second.

I wish I could freeze this moment

so that I'd never forget it.

Me, too.

- Molly, there's something that I need...

- Oh, no! No! Oh!

- What, what, what!? What, what, what?!

- My class! My class!

Oh, gosh! I'm late! I'm dead! Uh, my plan!

I'm, I'm sorry, I'm an idiot!

You know, I have this big

presentation tonight! I gotta go!

- Call me!

- Yeah!

I will, hey, I will, I will. I won't forget!

- Bye!

- I won't forget.

That's it! Call Molly. Don't forget!

Do not forget her!

Do not forget Molly Branford! Set

a date to tell her everything!

No matter what!

Do you think telling her

now is really a good idea?

I guess we're gonna find out.

Yeah, not everybody... wait, wait, wait,

what do you mean, "we'll find out?"

I... typed up everything I ever recorded

about Molly in my Read me every morning

- file, OK? So I remember her. I want this, Jerry!

- Yeah, yeah, but some things take time, I mean,

you can't just jump in and tell

somebody something this big!

- You can, if you think she might be the one!
