The Age of Adaline Page #6

- Have you played this before?

- No never.

- Kikki, come on!

- Do I have to?

- Yeah!

- Yes!

The idea is to get enough

of these little wedges.

- Pie.

- They're cheese.

They're wedges, you get enough of 'em to

fill-up your circle then you win, okay?

Most of the questions are

about this stupid stuff.

Hence the word "Trivial".

Yeah, like here's an

example for you, umm...

"On June 22, 1938, this American boxer

retained his heavyweight championship"

"when he beat Max Schmeling

in the first round."

- Well, that is a tough one.

- I know, what do you think?

Sony Liston?

- Joe Louis.

- Good guess though, really.

Women and boxing, it's cute.

Excuse me, do you know what then?

You know what, finally

ladies we're on the team.

- Here, roll the die.

- Here we go. - All right.

Here we go.

Women are pink.

Women are pink?

"Who was the first United States

President to be born in a hospital."

Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy Carter.

That's fast.

- Beginners luck.

- I don't think so, try again.

"At what event did the

'Hula Hoop' make its debut?"

In 1956, at the World's Fair

in Schenectady, New York.

1956 World's Fair,

Schenectady, New York.

Oh, my God.

- Nice one!

- Wow.

- Cheese.

- Pie.

Wedge.

All right, come on, do this.

Oh, a lotta pressure.

Smell somethin',

like your winning streak going up in smoke?

We've got this family joke,

what would happen first,

Dad loses in Trivial Pursuit,

or Della finally appears?

Della?

Yeah, you remember the comet I told

you about, the one that my dad discovered?

He named it Della C 1981,

after my great Aunt Adele.

- Okay, let's go.

- Yeah?

- Dad, come on.

- Here we go.

Jenny.

For the win...

"Of what country was Albert Einstein

offered the presidency in 1952?"

Israel.

Israel.

It's okay, I still love you.

How does it feel dad?

Are you sad?

I'm all right.

Let's look at page 2, okay?

That's section 3, paragraph H.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay, I'm going for a walk.

Okay.

Yes, let's look at 10... 10.

How many stars do you think

there are in our galaxy?

I don't know, five hundred million.

Coupla hundred billion.

Plato believed that every soul has a companion

star it that returns to after death...

if you lived a moral life.

You believe that?

No, no, I'm a...

I'm a scientist,

Plato was a philosopher... poet.

Why did you name your

Comet after my mother?

If my calculations were correct,

that turned out to be wrong,

it would've been the closest approach

to Earth of any comet in 200 years.

In other words,

like your mother, a near miss.

What does that mean?

I was gonna propose her.

I had... I had an engagement

ring in my pocket.

She stood me up.

Near miss.

Good night.

William.

She loved you, too.

Wow.

We just met, right? I know that.

Yeah, I should probably shut up right now.

I'll just shut up.

Come on, what?

What is it?

I... I... I... I just gotta

tell you the truth, I...

I can't imagine my life without you.

I know it's probably the last

thing wanna hear right now, but,

I'm falling in love with you, Jenny.

I can't help it.

I don't know what to say.

I deal with all of this with respect.

Please, do not say anything, all right?

I just wanted you to know how I feel.

- Oh, hello.

- Jenny.

Do you know where everyone went?

Yeah, Kathy and Kikki went to the

market and Ellis went for a... for a run.

- Well, okay.

- You have a bug in your hair.

- It's all right, it's a...

- What it is?

It's a ladybug.

They say they're good luck.

Did you get it?

- Got it.

- Thank you.

Please tell Ellis that I went for a walk.

- Della, you okay?

- Oh, my God!

- This is gonna sting.

- Okay, okay.

Don't worry, we'll fix you up.

Oh! Oh!

Excuse me... hi.

- Do you mind taking our photo?

- Sure.

Okay, I don't, I don't.

- It's going to be great.

- I don't want it.

- Wadya mean you don't want it?

- No, we're wasting film.

I'm just really shy.

Three, two, one...

I know.

I know who you are, Adaline.

What?

The scar... the same scar,

I stitched it myself.

Please.

The truth.

William.

I thought I was losing my mind.

How? How is this possible?

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

I...I, I was normal.

And then one day...

I just stopped.

I wanted to tell you so badly,

but I couldn't.

You know what they'd do to me, I...

- I would have been a...

- Curiosity.

- A specimen.

- Yes.

That's why you left?

That's why you... disappeared?

You can't imagine how much it hurt.

I think, I... I think I can.

- You've never told anyone?

- No.

If I had, it would have been Ellis.

Don't, don't run away.

Don't disappear again, please... for Ellis.

- Adaline...

- Please.

All these years,

you've lived but you've never had a life.

Please, for yourself,

for Ellis, stay, Adaline.

I don't know how.

Don't run away, Adaline. Adaline!

Adaline!

Adaline don't, don't.

Adaline, please.

Please don't do this.

Adaline, don't.

Think about Ellis, please!

Adaline, please! Adaline!

Ellis, I'm so sorry. I can't do this.

I can't explain. Jenny.

Dad! Dad!

Dad, where're your keys?

She's gone.

She's not coming back, Son.

What just happened?

What, what... what is this?

- Dad, what the hell did you say to her?

- Nothing.

She can't explain.

Please tell me what she said.

- She's not capable.

- Of what?

Of change.

Do you love her?

Son?

Listen to me. Do you love her?

Yes.

How do you know?

- Dad, I don't...

- It's a simple question.

How do you know?

Because nothing makes

sense without her.

- Hello.

- Oh.

Darling, I'm so sorry,

I didn't mean to wake you.

- Everything okay?

- No, no... I just wanted to tell you...

What is it?

You're right, no more running.

- Mom?

- I'll call you tomorrow, okay?

- I am so happy to hear that.

- I love you.

- I love you too.

- Bye.

Bye, Mama.

The moon is responsible for much of what

takes place on the surface of the Earth.

A stray meteor hit

the Moon in 1178.

The resulting concussion

would cause extreme tides

on every lunar phase

in Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.

A 23% rise in the mean

tide on this night

produced a storm 2000 miles

off the Pacific coast,

causing an increase in amount of

molecular ionization in the atmosphere.

And for the first time in 78 years,

snow fell in this

part of Sonoma County.

In the first stages of hypothermia,

the body will try to generate

heat through shivering.

When this fails, it would decrease

the flow of blood to the extremities.

Metabolism slows to a crawl.

You're dying, but you don't know it.

In the final stages...

the victim only breathes

once or twice a minute.

A state of suspended animation.

Jenny!

At 10:
07 p.m., Adaline Bowman's core

temperature had dropped to 87 degrees.

Her heart stopped beating.

At last, at the age of

one hundred and seven,

Adaline Bowman was, by

any definition, dead.

At precisely 10:
09

p.m., paramedics placed

two defibrillator paddles

on Adaline Bowman's chest.

They counted the prescribed 5 seconds before

administering 750 volts of electricity.
