Anna Mae, Anna Mae

Don't leave me here to cry

You, you, you leave me

Leave me

I believe I will die

Uh! Ahh.

Uh! Ahh.

Ah!

Oh, Anna Mae, Anna Mae

Anna Mae

My own

My own Anna Mae

Huh.

Shh.

Shh.

Come on.

I don't know...

what you're complaining

about, you know?

You've been getting

what you want,

when you want it.

So I'm supposed to be grateful?

I can already picture your

next summer on Nantucket...

with some WASP heiress.

Excuse me.

have I misled you in some way?

Whatever happened to...

"What you see

is what you get," huh?

Oh, come on.

This isn't you.

I know you.

Tell that to your wife.

Tell your wife

how well you know me.

All right.

I'm going to call Dr. Signorelli.

Oh, God, no.

He smells like rotten meat.

Mmm.

Alex, you need more help.

Did Lucy choose a good one?

She chose her first one.

It's ludicrous, isn't it?

What?

About to snuff it, and still--

Still chasing tail.

Huh.

That's how you are.

Thank you.

Thank you for what exactly?

Nothing.

Right.

Hee hee hee!

Bye.

Ciao.

Ciao.

Ciao.

Uh.

Better?

Yeah.

Great.

Oh, give me a ciggy, Ian.

Oh, for God's sake, Alex.

Have you ever actually

bought a cigarette?

I bought a cigarette...

the last time

you bought a shirt.

Alex.

It's like being in a parade,

isn't it, darling?

All the bloody doctor's fault.

You know, I'm quite able to walk.

If you could see yourselves.

I don't want to see him...

at the hospital.

Oh, that's fine. You stay.

Say good-bye to him.

Hi.

Ah, Lucy.

Let me see if you look different.

I didn't really.

Oh, you must not mind me.

I so enjoyed watching you.

All that beauty.

Aren't we lucky? hmm?

Ah, there's my girl.

Take it with you.

Mmm.

I'll share it with the nurses.

See you.

Mmm.

Do you...

remember where you were...

in August 1975?

Mmm. We bought the house

in the spring of that year,

so we would have

been here, I think. Why?

It's when I was conceived.

What?

Oh, nothing.

You look like something.

Ah, it's just that... thinking.

What?

I think that was when I did

your mother's portrait.

That's what I thought.

I couldn't be sure.

Diana would remember.

But, no, no, no.

She was in London then,

sorting out her divorce

and the custody of the kids.

Be no point in asking her.

It was one of the few times

we've ever been apart.

No.

I wouldn't ask her.

These are for you.

So am I... done?

What?

Oh. Almost.

Can I see now?

I'll show it to you now,

it must be our secret.

Okay.

You can keep a secret, can't you?

Yes.

I learned from the master.

How did you get to be

such a lovely girl?

Oh!

F***!

Come. Come with me.

Where did they get you?

Here.

This clay is good for it.

Are you okay?

I'm not dying.

And... here.

Here. You better do it.

Come walk with me.

("I Need Love"

By Sam Phillips Playing)

I left my conscience

I left my conscience

So you want to come to America?

I can't stand it here anymore.

But it's beautiful here.

Lock the doors behind me

Put the pane on fire

Broken like a window

I see my blindness now

And I need love

Not some sentimental prison

I need God

Not the political church

I need fire to melt

Whoo!

The frozen sea inside me

I wrote you once, you know.

You did not.

I didn't sign it,

so you probably thought

it was from Niccolo'.

What was it about?

I don't know.

How much I liked you.

How I thought of you

when I was in the woods.

you wrote that letter?

I loved that letter.

You didn't write that letter.

I don't believe it.

That was my favorite letter.

I knew it by heart.

Dear Lucy,

I'm on the top of the hill...

Wait.

Alone with my dog

and thinking of you.

Where are you going?

This is my tree.

You must miss your mother.

I can't even picture her face.

Why are you crying?

Because I want to kiss you.

I'm not-- I'm not able.

I can't.

I want to leave.

What?

Here.

What are you saying?

I want to go home.

This is home.

Not really.

This is where Daisy was born.

I don't want to die here.

I want to die where I belong.

You're upset about Alex.

And... moving is not

going to change that.

I'm getting tired of

taking care of people.

I want to go back.

I want to go back...

where it's... gray...

damp...

and the milk goes off.

I feel... I'm not...

this anymore.

We can't go back, Diana.

I put Richard...

on the train to Pisa.

Did you?

I'd had it.

Oh, darling, good for you.

Oh, Mummy.

Did you think I was mad?

No.

We all have ones like that.

Where is everybody?

Gone. Mmm. ha ha.

Bonsoir.

Bonsoir.

Bonsoir.

Bonsoir.

Ciao.

What's for dinner?

I'm starving.

Chips?

Where's Lucy?

Could you... help me?

No. Stay.

I want to come with you.

Now?

No. To America.

Then do.

It was my first time too.

("Say It Ain't So"

By Roland Gift Playing)

When I'm out of sight

You think you're free

Out of my mind

Where can you be

You say you're sorry

You were with a friend

I know, why worry

But it happens

I get it again

Just say it ain't so

And I'll deny I ever asked you to go

Just say it ain't so

I want to believe

you won't deceive me anymore

Sooner or later

I'll give up this lie

Wish I could hate you

I know I try

how can you tell me

There's nothing to be said

You took my money

With another guy laying in your bed

Just say it ain't so

And I'll deny I ever asked you to go

Just say it ain't so

I want to believe

you won't deceive me anymore

how can you tell me

There's nothing to be said

You took my money

With another guy laying in your bed

Just say it ain't so

And I'll deny I ever asked you to go

Just say it ain't so

I want to believe

you won't deceive me anymore

Just say it ain't so

And I'll deny I ever asked you to go

Just say it ain't so
