a car that stopped -

and they

took him away.

I saw them take him away.

This thing eats me up, my love.

I know who he is,

where he lives.

And you could never...

you could

never tell me?

For me to give you this

information on myself

is taking a chance that

you'll stop loving me.

It makes no sense, my love.

He leaped out of nowhere.

I've been living with

this 15 years now.

I have to

face this man, baby.

I think his anger

is holding me back.

I don't know if you

can blame someone else

for what's going on,

or blame their anger.

I don't believe someone can

curse you with their anger.

But I know you feel

you have to go.

Phillip Blackman lives here?

Yeah.

At this time of night

you should know

that he's at Big Jim's,

down the street.

# So you weather

the sea change #

# as the mountains

are melting under you #

# Watch the ocean,

how she rises, #

# turning everything blue #

# Blue as the sky #

# above these

fading satellites #

# Slipping away,

back to the stars #

# To be burned,

burned by the sun #

# Into the void

of where we've begun #

# Oh, I am burned,

burned by the sun #

# Into the void

of where we've begun #

# Love...

Love is the answer #

# How many times #

# How many prophets

have to tell you #

# It's astounding #

# 'cuz you live here #

# Don't you live here, too?#

# And blue is the sky #

# above these

fading satellites #

# Making our way #

# back to the stars #

# To be burned,

burned by the sun #

# Into the void

of where we've begun #

# Oh, I am burned #

# by the sun #

# Into the void

of where we've begun #

# Where we've begun...#

# Where we've begun #

I don't know

how this song ends.

I never figured that out

before I got up here.

Well, now...

Oh, come on.

You know the drill.

You're always here.

You wanna buy me a beer?

Sure.

Bar's that way.

Can I have a beer, please?

And a glass of water.

- You have a nice voice.

- Thanks.

How much?

Twenty.

There's a cover.

You should tip her as well.

Wanna come with us?

- You okay?

- Yes.

Come with us.

Come, let's go.

Please.

You okay, honey?

Yeah.

You wanna

take your shoes off?

I won't be long.

Just help yourself to

anything in the refrigerator.

You were great tonight.

Oh, thank you.

- Amazing.

- It was fun.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I love it.

I love those moments.

I know they're not

listening too much...

Hold on.

You got it?

There you go.

Ready?

My beautiful falling tree.

- You ready?

- Yeah.

Okay, hold on.

Do you realize this

is what I'm gonna

talk about tomorrow.

- What?

- My lecture.

I'm gonna deal

with manifestation...

Which one?

Uh, this one is good.

I'm gonna deal

with manifestation

and how you can

create something,

how you can make something

happen from your thoughts...

from your feelings.

I got this, uh, one piece.

"The words of

the Lord of the World,

which he spoke

after coming into being.

'I am he, who came

into being in the form

of the infinite power

of manifestation.'"

It's pretty...

it's pretty hard,

because outside

things happen.

Outside influences have

a direct impact on your life...

But you still

create those things.

You don't have

control over...

a mother - a mother

walking into a room

and finding her baby's died

of sudden infant death...

No, because you're thinking,

because you have a thought.

Like you're saying,

I don't want -

I don't want a child

to die or anything.

Underneath it all,

in your subconscious...

It's just like, if you're

in a relationship

and it's a really

bad relationship.

You know, people

even allow themselves

to get beaten in relationships.

So they're being beaten

in this relationship,

and they say to themselves, -

I wanna leave.

But they don't,

because underneath,

the core thing,

the core issue -

it's not gone.

It's still there.

And that's the same

thing with your subconscious.

Your subconscious

is like...

I think it's made me a better

person in different ways.

I know maybe...

maybe not in every way

that you need, you know?

Yeah.

But I do want...

- I, uh...

- Yeah.

I should probably go.

- Yeah.

- All right?

You gonna go?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

I mean, this guy's been

waiting for a long time.

I hope he's still there.

Of course, he's there.

I mean, I wouldn't...

He'd be crazy

not to be there.

Try to have

a good time, okay?

Yeah.

I want you to be happy.

I am happy.

You okay?

You need me

to get you anything?

No.

I'm gonna finish

the work I'm doing.

I'll do your other leg

when I come back.

And, well...

get you out

of this suit.

Are you okay?

You're not too hot?

Cold?

- I'm perfect.

- Okay, good.

Don't worry about me.

Sorry.

Is your husband

coming out?

No, no.

He doesn't like to watch.

That's not his thing.

You know, he's uh...

he's reading.

I don't suppose

you have

a paraplegic wife

at home, do you?

That would be a great

coincidence if you did.

Why are you so shy?

What?

Is-is-is your

husband coming out?

No.

- I know I already asked.

- You did.

You asked me

that a couple times.

Why?

You like to be watched?

No, no, no.

He seems like

a nice man.

He's way too nice

to come out here

and watch you

and me have sex.

That's for sure.

You know, you...

I mean,

you don't have to -

You don't have to worry.

I'm an...

I'm an absolute sure thing.

Take very little for me

to just take my clothes off...

Really?

Well, you-you...-

You are beautiful.

You are beautiful.

Oh, thank you.

Pretty ankles.

Pretty ankles.

Just noticed.

Pretty ankles.

And there's no way

to have, uh,

a small word with

your husband, maybe?

- No.

- No?

No.

This is weird.

You don't wanna

have sex, do you?

No...not at all.

Okay, um, you should go.

I'm serious.

You should really go.

Get out.

I don't know how

you're gonna get home.

Go!

Get the f*** out of here.

Right now.

Thanks.

Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey, hey.

- I'm, uh...

- What's going on?

I don't know what's

up with that guy.

He, uh...

I don't know.

He wasn't into it.

He was totally weird.

I think he was lonely.

He seemed more

interested in wanting

to talk to you

than me, anyway.

I'm gonna go back.

I'm gonna go

back to the bar.

Okay.

I won't be long.

Let's take your jacket off.

It's hot, huh?

Sure.

You sure you're all right?

Oh, yeah.

I'm fine.

It's just,

you know, it's late.

I gotta get up

early tomorrow.

You know I'm going tomorrow?

I'll be back on Sunday.

Peter's gonna be here,

give you your shower,

breakfast and everything.

Yeah, that's right.

Yeah, yeah?

I left him a list

outside anyway.

It's all cool.

Um, but I'll see you later.

I mean, you'll probably

be asleep...

I mean, you'll be back

in a minute, right?

Yeah, I'll be back in a sec.

- Okay?

- Okay.

- Have fun, okay?

- Yeah, you too.

Bye, honey.

You look great.

Good morning.

Good morning.

How are you today?

Fine, how are you?

I imagined that

you were all here.

And here you are.

Sitting in the same

seats that I'd thought
