Starcrossed Page #3

You f***ed him,

didn't you?

No, say, "No, Anthony,

I didn't f*** him."

He can hear you.

That's not an answer.

Anthony, don't...

Kat.

I need you.

What about

what I need?

I give you everything.

No, you don't.

You give me nothing.

Not what I want.

I'm your whore.

That's all.

Please.

Give me what I want.

I don't have him.

He's not here.

You were gone a while.

Did you get lost?

Not... Lucy, not right now.

Anthony might see.

Anthony doesn't

see anything.

You remember

our story?

I would do anything

for you.

You know that,

right? Anything.

Anything you want.

You took care of me.

You took care of me.

You want her.

What? What?

No.

Then why... why'd you

tell her your name?

What are you talking about?

Your real name, Ben.

Your real f***ing name.

-You told her.

-What are you... Chill.

Don't you f***ing...

Don't you f***ing

tell me

to shut up!

What's gotten into you

right now?

You are mine.

I will take what is mine.

-Will you f***ing tell me the truth?

-Calm down.

Stop.

What are you doing?

Just tell me the truth!

Anthony, Laz is here.

What is he doing here?

I'm gonna

take care of it.

What did you do? I can't

believe you called Laz.

Laz, how are you?

I am well, Tony. Thanks.

Everything okay?

Yeah.

Everything's great.

I got your message.

What was so urgent?

-I'm sorry about that.

-Lucy and I just had an argument.

It's okay.

What about the company?

What's wrong

with the company?

Nothing's wrong.

Laz, it was just

a misunderstanding.

We're fine.

Good to hear.

Laz, what...

How's Katherine?

My poor daughter, Kat.

She's been a mess

for some time now.

My first wife raised her

in England of all places.

She doesn't talk

to anyone in the family.

They called me

when she tried...

Tried...

You never met her

after all these years?

I think...

we should continue this

in the living room.

I guess I could stay a bit,

now that I'm here.

You know what?

Let's just stay here.

No, actually, you know,

the living room is much

more comfortable.

Yeah, we can listen

to that...

Stravinsky you

used to talk about.

I just prefer

to stay here.

I lied to you before.

About?

"He thought she must

be bouncing

between the most

beautiful dreams,

as her eyes fluttered,

threatening to wake.

We were stripped bare

in every sense imaginable.

Very rarely did I smile

after those days but,

who could help it?

We had made such

beautiful poetry together."

That's mine.

I loved your book.

It didn't drone on.

It had a beginning,

middle and end.

I told you

I read everything.

What do you want

from me?

Everything.

I can't help you.

Look, Kat, this-this fantasy

that you want to live in...

There's no future in it.

Don't do that.

There's no future in it.

Stop it.

There's no future in it.

Stop!

-There's no future in it!

-Stop it!

There's no future, Kat.

Stop it.

No!

Nathan!

No.

Nathan's your son.

And Lucy

doesn't know?

It's his birthday

tomorrow.

And no one

helped you.

Anthony and I...

I had a problem.

They took him from me.

They said I wasn't fit.

To be his mother?

To be his anything.

I signed the paper.

I signed it

with this hand.

They'll be back soon.

-We can tell them.

-Tell them what exactly?

Kat, I...

I know you now.

Now I don't want

to know you.

Hey.

I'm going downtown.

How are you two?

I know Nathan's

back tomorrow.

How was it

having him away

at camp

for the first time?

You really want to know?

Really?

Lucy.

I don't care anymore.

This isn't my business.

Anthony and I have both

been having affairs.

That's why we're in here,

because our lovers,

well, they're in

the living room.

Right now.

I should be going.

No, no, no.

You asked...

Really. It's late. I gotta...

I should be getting back.

No, Laz.

She's telling the truth.

You ever stop to think about

the millions of little things

in people's lives...

that pull them apart?

See, in life,

we bleed for people.

I mean, that's what

love is... blood.

So we bleed until

there's nothing left.

Lucy, she's...

You've taken all the blood

I have for you.

I'm dried up.

Nothing.

This isn't you, Kat.

This is bullshit.

You and me, we're not.

Didn't you feel it?

No, you f***ed me.

He f***ed me too.

Is this sh*t

all you care about?

Your-Your allowance

and your-your penthouse?

And-And your f***ing

Jimmy Choos?

Is that what you

want to hear?

At least

it'd be honest.

I want my son, Ben.

I want to watch him sleep!

I want to smell him

in the morning!

I want...

I want to wipe his tears.

I need him.

Look at me.

I can help.

Why do you want

to help me?

You know who I am.

There's no one out there

for people like us.

Who's this?

Laz, let me explain.

Laz, what are you doing?

Shut up, Lucy.

Come with me.

Take my hand.

Katherine.

Don't call me that.

You can't tell me

what to do.

You only care now

because you're here

and you see me.

-Come on.

-Just...

You're a f***ing sperm donor.

You're not my father.

Just leave me alone.

Kat.

I thought your book

was sad.

Everyone said that.

"There's no life

without you."

You stole that

from someone.

I can't remember who.

You know, I never

understood

why he stayed

and she didn't.

He had a son.

He lost his love.

He was pointless.

Give me that gun.

And then we'll...

Me and you will go

right now, okay?

Let's get out of here.

I... I'll take care of us.

What's your fantasy?

I could love you.

You already did.

No, no!

There was a book I had as a kid

about the monarch butterfly.

How it became itself.

The caterpillar

forms a chrysalis,

then dissolves into nothing.

It dies.

Inside isn't a prison.

It's an ocean of freedom...

that stretches beyond

the stars in the sky.

It shows us the future.

Then when it's ready,

it rises from nothing,

spreads its wings

and flies away.

Now I can walk

the Great Wall of China.

And go to Spain

and run with the bulls.

I could start something new.

And wake up with the sun.

I could love.

And love and love.
