The Age of Adaline Page #7

How is she?

We've just run a series of tests

and don't see any long term damage.

It's quite remarkable, in fact.

Is she awake? Can I go see her?

She's exhausted but you might

be able to get in a few words.

Okay, thank you.

Hi.

Jenny.

- Hi.

- Hey!

I know why you ran away.

You do?

It's because of what I said

to you last night, isn't it?

I told you I loved you.

- And you got scared, I shouldn't...

- Come here, I love you.

Come here, come here, I love you.

I love you, too.

There's something else.

What? What is it?

Well, first, my name isn't Jenny.

My God, what happened?

Nothing, nothing, an accident,

I'm fine. Okay?

- But...

- Hey...

I'm better than fine. Okay?

- This is Ellis.

- Hello.

- Hello.

- He's the man, I've

been telling you about.

Nice to meet you.

I'm Jenny's grandmother.

What? What is it?

He knows.

He knows.

Hey, everybody, I don't wanna ruin

the party, but I wanna say something.

First of all, thanks for being here.

Kathy and I are really grateful

that you could all be here.

It means a lot to us that you

would be here and to help

us celebrate the first...

first 40 years of our marriage.

When I first met this lovely lady,

back in the olden days,

I had a... I had a pretty good idea

what I wanted to do in my job,

but I didn't really...

know what I wanted to...

be as a man when I grew up,

if I ever grew up.

But the commitment that she made...

to our marriage and to our family, to me...

the... quality of her love...

led me to understand that I could

have no greater ambition...

in life, than to be the best

possible husband I could be for her.

And I'm still working on it.

So here's to Kathy, love of my life,

mate of my soul, mother

of my lovely children.

To Kathy.

One year later.

We are back, live in Times Square.

And now, only a few minutes from

the moment we've all been waiting for,

- ... drop ball... to 2016.

- There ya are, Honey, good girl. Yeah.

Hey, you guys, you better hurry

up, you're gonna be late for the event.

- Yeah, I've been ready for 10 minutes.

- Oh, so handsome.

- Thank you.

- I'm ready, too.

- Wow.

- I just need this zipped.

Are you sure you don't wanna come with us?

I'm positive.

I've got my date, right here.

Come here, Baby.

- I love you.

- Love you.

I have to grab my clutch.

Oh, and my camera.

- He's getting so big.

- Yeah.

Adaline, you okay?

Yes.

Perfect.

The instant Adaline's heart was

struck by the defibrillator paddles,

the telomere structures in her

genes regained their pliability,

Causing her to resume

the natural course of aging.

William was right after all,

the comet, Della C 1981,

finally did return.

A half century late. But as bright

and magnificent as he had predicted.
