But my question, or Claire's question ...

She asked when I told it.

She did not believe me.

But she said:

- What's the point?

Yes.

- That's the big question.

What exactly do you do? Are you just

to see how things are unfolding?

Laughing at the stupid things

we do to each other?

Because it's all not real.

It's all a big game.

I am a girl out of time.

I am forever and have no friends.

Nobody to play with. Is it so?

What would you do if you could do?

What would I do?

Would it affect?

- No.

Is there censorship or regulation?

Not that I'm thinking about something ...

I just want to know what the rules are.

- No rules.

I've always wanted to fly.

And breathe underwater would be nice.

Then I can look for Atlantis.

If Atlantis did not exist,

I would make.

I would cry myself to be king.

And there would be many mermaids.

Lots of mermaids

in a kind of harem.

You know what I would do?

Yes, I know, I guess.

I would create a virtual world,

full of beauty and opportunity.

And everything and everyone in that world ...

would eventually be one.

But they would not know.

Why that?

Then all the elements in that world

by their own efforts ...

the boundaries that divide them transcend

and forms a strong bond.

A band that would be unimaginable

without the pain of division.

The light in total darkness following

shines the brightest.

I'm going anyway

those mermaids.

A chai latte, please.

- That's three dollars.

Here you go.

- Thank you. I'll bring it.

He does not.

Pardon?

- The man who was here earlier.

He's not coming back.

You knew that already

You could see in his eye

the last time when he retired.

This is not your concern.

Yes.

Oh yeah? How so?

I'm a writer. I see other people's

business and make notes on.

That's pretty obnoxious.

Such is life.

I try to make sense of it.

Or in any case poetry.

So essentially you're a voyeur.

- An observer.

A professional observer.

That sounds better.

Can you make a living?

- Not very fancy, but it is not bad.

No.

That means I have to assume.

Perceive things

that most people ignore.

And I'll tell you a secret:

I am also the owner of this cafe.

Not that I earn money.

But it's a goldmine in terms of material.

- So this cafe is yours.

No one knows.

Even the staff does not.

I'm not sure I believe you do.

I write fiction.

Then you get that.

In any event,

I'm glad you did.

What?

That you came back.

I hoped there already.

Why?

I wanted to observe a moment.

I'd long to observe

without having had enough of it.

That's flattering.

And very poetic. You are good.

But suppose that I was not observed

or will be listed.

Then I put down my pen ...

and my eyes shut tight as you want,

and then we can only talk.

Claire, Todd.

I'm so close.

I know that you are struggling

Dave and everything.

It must be a madhouse,

so I do not mind ...

I can tomorrow

your service or take back.

But will you please call me

or SMS or whatever?

I know you ...

I really hope that all is well with you.

I know that I appoint,

but I am a little ...

worried about you.

In any event,

please call me back here.

today

That is 3.50.

Five dollars.

Then you get 1.50 back.

Have a nice day.

Hello, Mr. Green.

With Todd, from the cafe.

No, everything is good. But have you

perhaps something of Claire heard?

No, but she was not there yesterday.

That's nothing for her.

Yes, I think.

Thank you. Day.

Day, Mr. Green. Weather with Todd.

Sorry I bothering you.

I want Claire in trouble

because she was not there, but ...

Yes, I know we have this number only

in emergencies may use.

No, I'm sorry.

Day.

Where is she?

Claire? Which is not there.

I do not know.

She was there recently.

I know.

She has not come home.

Did you get my message?

She was here, yes.

With her ...

With her blue eyes.

So yes ...

So she needs your message

understood.

Where is she doing?

- You must not ask me.

If they do not quickly return,

I call the police.

Then I tell them

that blue eye.

Are you sure?

Not likely, coffee boy.

Okay?

I have spoken a dozen candidates.

Most are too young or too old.

And now you two.

Sally Farber. The best of the class,

a big heart and lots of experience.

You can work anywhere.

And Colin Leahy,

with very different experience.

The most doubtful

CV and fair ever.

But he understands that young people,

because he has experienced the same.

Frankly

I can not choose between you.

It is somewhat unorthodox,

but I am not accustomed.

I leave the decision up to you about.

Forward.

Do we have another question?

I want you to do what is necessary

make the right decision.

Congratulations that you've reached.

- Likewise.

I feel inferior here.

No. If that was Jasmine,

would not be here.

She is clearly gaga.

Otherwise she had not invited me.

What did she mean by "dubious"?

I'm addicted and have been

spent in prison. That she meant.

You definitely want this job really like?

Yes. You do not see often

a method that really works.

You have tremendous experience.

I have worked.

Tell me, what would you do

if you do not get this job?

Keep fighting.

I find something.

Do you follow a twelve-step plan?

- Yes, NA and AA.

When were you the last time was?

- She is good.

You know the ropes.

Two hours ago.

Give him the job but.

So easy?

If you think he has what it takes,

you must give him a chance.

What do you think?

- Take us both up.

That's what I know about it.

But I wanted to make sure

I took the right decision.

Now I know for sure.

You must help me

to raise money.

But congratulations.

You both have the job.

Really?

- Really.

Congratulations.

- You too.

What is it?

Is it so important

that it can not wait until tonight?

I am pregnant.

Are you serious?

Yes, I mean it.

It's yours. I'm

slept with anyone else.

That's great.

Great.

Great?

No. It is not great.

A baby.

We have a baby.

- No.

I'm not ready for a baby.

We are not married.

I do not know how to proceed.

What is going on?

- Tommy ...

Tommy is dead.

He hanged himself.

Tommy is dead?

The doctor can remove on Tuesday.

We do not.

Glenn, what are you talking about?

- We do not.

In a note said that Glenn Camby

would murder him ...

anything that he left behind.

What should he do?

- He had to murder someone.

Tommy has killed someone?

- And then he committed suicide.

This is not something small.

It is forever.

What are we doing? A game?

We practice something else?

I am ready for this.

But that is madness.

- It's Claire, Todd.

In the note said

where her body lay.

I do not understand.

I knew it just yet,

but I'm ready.

Do you love me, Glenn?

Why should we get a child

if you do not love me?

Glenn Camby, you will be arrested

for the murder of Claire Heartman.

Arrested? Glenn?

Will I be arrested?

We can handle this quietly

or with much fanfare. You choose.

You have the wrong one.

- Stand up and hands behind your back.

Did you need a team? Did you
