Take This Waltz Page #4

- Come on!

- Just a second.

- Congratulations.

- Thank you.

Thank you for everything.

You're all in?

This is for the history books.

Okay, hang on.

Hang on.

God.

Okay.

Thank you so much.

How much ...

How much do we owe you ...?

- It's on the house.

- Oh, no!

Maybe you could make me some chicken, someday.

Oh, Margo told you about ...

Yeah, of course.

We'd love to have you over.

I could use new audience.

I think Margo overdid poultry

a long time ago.

It's not true.

- Thank you so much.

- Please.

- Have fun.

- Bye.

So ...

Yeah?

So how is everything?

Fine. What do you mean?

I mean ... I do not know ...

Say something ...

Why?

So that we have a conversation.

I don't have anything to say.

That's not a good sign.

I will not say anything just

to open a conversation.

Why do not you ask me how I am doing?

Because I know how you're doing.

Don't I?

Yeah, I guess. I just ...

Don't you think it's a bit weird that

we sit here without talking?

And what can we talk about?

We live together,

we know everything already.

Then what is the point

in going out to dinner?

To eat. Good food.

To be someplace nice.

It's not to catch up.

Hey, come here, come here.

I love you.

It's our anniversary,

I love you.

Happy anniversary.

I love you.

Hey!

Now who is the stalker?

- You see I met my husband.

- You did?

How was your anniversary?

It was okay.

Okay?

Yeah. It ...

He is the kindest and gentlest

person in the world.

He seemed sweet.

He seems to love you very much.

He does. And I love him.

Is that you came here to tell me?

That you love your husband, and

your anniversary was okay?

Why was it okay?

I feel that there is no

greatest betrayal ...

than complaining

about your husband to your ...

to your what?

Let's go for a walk.

I feel like going out in the world with you.

Can you do that?

Can we spend the day together?

Please?

Yeah.

Let's do that.

Have you ever been to the Flyers

carts at the amusement park?

It is in the dark and they are playing music ...

And it goes way too fast

to do something stupid.

- See you.

- Sometime.

- Soon.

- I guess.

- Hi.

- Hi.

- What are you gonna do now?

- Nothing.

It's for you to do something, not me.

I don't have to tell you again

that I love you, do I?

You never did.

In that case ...

In that case ...

Nothing?

I can not!

I can not ...

I think you need to go home now, Margo.

- What?

- I do not know.

These here ...

Do I have a pimple?

I woke up, and you know when you have

one that has just come out ...

And you can ...

to see it yet ...

I think it's there.

I love you.

So, the great thing about not being

totally absorbed in the AA community is ...

that ... your friends and family throw

a big drunken party

To celebrate ...

your sobriety ...

Which is ...

totally inappropriate ...

And ... plain awesome.

So I raise my bottle of Perrier

Cheers ... to all of you who

can get shitfaced

without guilt ...

The amazing brother ...

sister-in-law ...

For getting me more than just

a piece of sober cake ...

Wonderful ... to my amazing kid

who is not here, Tony ...

... I thank you for putting up with

the worst years ...

And to my amazing husband, James ...

James, right?

ah..., for trusting me enough

to be around you, drunken a**holes.

Enough of this bullshit ...

Let's turn on some music ...

and dance, you bunch of d*cks!

- Lou!

- Hey, I did not think you're gonna make it ...

You missed her speech.

It was great.

You got an ashtray?

Yeah, good.

Hey!

Come over, have a drink.

- That's OK, I just...

- Come on!

One drink!

I actually have some work to do ...

It's Saturday night.

Be a neighbor!

Come on!

Okay.

- Can I get you something to drink?

- Yes.

Did you say hello to Daniel?

Yes, you can not imagine

what it took me to have him over here.

- Tandoori kebab?

- Yes, for the book.

- Did you grab a beer?

- Yes, they are out.

- What do you think?

- Delicious!

Thank you.

- Interesting choice!

- I tried not to come.

He's pretty persistent.

Something tells me you could have found a way.

I've been thinking about that airport fear of yours.

Being in between things ...

I think I kind of hate it, too.

I know it's a kind of in

the nature of being alive, but ...

I'd like to avoid it whereever possible.

I do not think I wanna be in between things.

- I should go back to the party.

- You're the hostess.

- You can stay as long as you will.

- I shall not be staying too long.

Hey! You're leaving already?

Good luck with chicken, dude.

Thanks.

August 5, 2040. 2.00 p.m.

Lou?

I do not think ... I do not think ...

Gosh, I do not know ...

I thought you were gonna be there when I die ...

Do not say that!

What the f*** does that mean?

I think somewhere I knew that

something was wrong, and I...

just hoped ... it will go away.

You are so beautiful!

And I feel like I never deserved you ...

No, no!

I feel like ...

If I begged you to stay,

I would be humiliating myself...

I wemt to high school with a guy ...

Who lost a testicle in a hockey game ...

And ... I'm sure that had

a very different life ...

From the one he ultimately did.

At least I have my testicles.

Maybe you should take a shower.

It will make you feel better.

I do not want to take a shower.

Just ...

... Do me a favor, okay?

You?

Yes.

- Every ...?

- Every day.

There's no ...?

There's no problem with the water ...

Or ... something has to be corrected

I just thought ...

One day I'll tell Margo ...

That ... I've been doing this through her whole life ...

And ... will make you laugh.

It's kind of a long-term joke.

Go.

Come on.

Go.

Here you are.

I love you.

I said I love you!

I love you.

I'm glad we did not wait.

Me too.

Hello?

- Hi.

- Hello, dear Margo.

Tony wanted to say "hi"

Say "hi", Tony.

Hi! Hi!

I missed you auntie Margo.

Oh, I missed you.

Okay, I'm going to eat right now, bye.

Bye.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye-bye.

Geraldine just kind of disappeared,

and Tony got left alone ...

For hours ... ...

James called the cops.

Say ... and will go

within a few hours ...

I'm not sure what

I'm supposed to do here ...

I do not think

I can stay here for this ...

Oh, God ...

Oh, well.

- Miss Verok ...

- Okay, just a sec...

Madam, we would like you to come with us.

Geraldine, you need to go with them, okay?

Just a sec.

Geraldine, go with them, honey.

We'll be here when you get back.

Okay, just a sec, Mom.

Look, James, I got chicks.

They need, er, ... milk. I think ...

What?

They're for Tony, I got them at the pet store.

There is ...

Margo!

Are you back?

- I missed you!

- Okay, madam...

Can I just have a minute?

I really need to talk to that lady.

Let her go.

Hey! How are you doing?

I haven't seen you for a really long time.

Really long time.

This is what it takes to get you back?

Where have you been?

What happened, Geraldine?

I am an alcoholic, moron.

Nothing happened.

This is my natural state.
