The End of Love Page #6

Synopsis: Mark is an actor, recently widowed and the father of two year old Isaac. Beyond Mark's time with Isaac who he truly loves, Mark's life is a mess. He is struggling as an actor, always hoping but somewhat delusional about his chances at getting the acting jobs for which he's auditioned. He makes no attempt at earning a living in any other manner. As such, he often needs to borrow money from his friends, always saying that the money will be returned soon. They share an apartment with Tim and Ray - it being Tim's apartment - and are behind in paying Tim rent, their share which Tim has to cover in the meantime. Mark wants to lead the Hollywood actor life, which is made all the more difficult in being Isaac's sole caregiver. Mark has intimacy issues stemming solely from the last encounter he had with his wife before her tragic accidental death. All these issues combined lead to Mark not being able to provide Isaac with much of a life, again beyond the time that they are able to spend togethe

Like one of those exercise balls

in our apartment in beachwood.

Okay.

And it was really early

in the morning

And I was really upset

Because he'd been up

the whole night before.

He didn't sleep.

And his mom had to go.

Then she went to kiss me

And I didn't kiss her back

'cause I...

And she got in a car accident.

Car in the carpool lane,

Clipped the motorcycle

And the motorcycle...

Went to her lane

and her car flipped...

And then snapped her neck

and she died on impact.

Daddy,

I'm digging for treasure.

I'm digging for treasure!

Um, I found someone else

So I have to have you out

by the end of the month.

I'm really sorry, mark.

It's just, everything,

it's too much.

Why, I--I told you I was getting

everything sort a bit.

I know, man,

but I just can't afford it.

We'll help you,

whatever you need.

Okay, well,

this isn't...Helping me.

This isn't helpful.

I -I told you

that I'm getting money together.

You owe me so much money, man.

It's not happening.

I have to, you know,

so I could come pay the rent.

You're gonna kick me

and isaac out in the street?

Come on, man.

I feel f***ed up already.

- If there's anything--

- this is f***ing ridiculous,

man!

You can't just

f***ing kick me out.

We don't--we don't wanna do this

but...

Yeah,

but you're f***ing doing it.

I mean, you guys, you got

to give me a f***ing chance

- To give you the money that

I said I was gonna give you.

- It's been months.

Months, mark.

I've paid your rent

out of my own pocket.

You have the rest

of the month, man.

You got, like,

I don't know, two weeks.

I can't believe

you guys are doing this.

Maybe we could find

some place more--

You know, maybe some place

more affordable for you,

Even better for--for isaac.

You're a f***ing piece of sh*t.

And you're f***ing piece

of sh*t!

( chuckles )

Isaac:
My fish

doesn't feel good anymore.

Mark:

Something happened to her.

What?

It's called dying.

What's dying?

Dying are when things

stop living.

You see, she's not moving.

Why?

Why, dada?

There's something called life

And something called death.

Do you know

what those things are?

- Mm-hmm.

- You do?

Can you tell me

what you think those things are?

It's when you don't feel good.

Mm-hmm, that's close.

Me and you are alive.

All the trees

and plants outside

And the animals

are alive, too.

- The tree is alive?

- Yeah, the trees outside

are alive.

- Houses are alive?

- No, houses aren't alive.

- Why?

- Well, houses are just things.

And when you stop living,

it's called dying.

Animals die and people die

and plants die.

Why people die?

Sometimes they get sick.

Sometimes they have an accident.

And the fish had an accident.

And when things die,

they go some place else.

Where?

Some in there

and your finger here.

There we go.

There, you did it.

Oh.

She's sad.

There you go, dada.

Thank you.

What is that for?

And what this little thing is,

is called a coffin.

And sometimes,

what people do when things die

Is they bury them in the ground.

Where we gonna bury.

Are we going to bury something?

- Mm-hmm.

- Are we gonna bury our fish?

Yeah, we're gonna bury the fish.

- In what?

- In the dirt.

- But there's no dirt in here.

- I know.

We have to go some place

to do that.

( humming )

It looks pretty good.

Okay.

Oh.

take me

make me

empty inside

hold me tight

I'm too weak

baby

only wanna lose control

melt with you

We are finished.

You got a little bit more

to do?

Mm-hmm.

Cover that hole.

Hmm, go for it.

for a moment in time

( mumbles )

let me forget

I--what shall we do?

my distrust

- ( laughing, mumbles )

- ah!

kill the demons

make them weep

clean the mirror

make me see

myself in a different way

Whoa.

wanna taste your sweetness

in my bitter tea

- Mark:
Thank you.

- Isaac:
Came from that tree.

( laughs )

take my frightened heart

and let it blossom

into a star

give all my fear

to the wind

with your skin

soft and warm

with your skin

soft and warm

with your skin

soft and warm

baby

high

higher than the black sky

through the stars

I'll learn to fly

will I, will I

get to say good-bye?

will I, will I

get to say good-bye?

above

above all the fear

we go, ooh

where love it fades

like a rainbow

will I, will I

get to say good-bye?

will I, will I

get to say good-bye?

I understand

that I'm going away

far away from here

but please

understand

that I won't be gone

alone

we, we're here

so don't cry

all, all the pirates

and I

will I, will I

get to say good-bye?

Mark Webber

Mark Alan Webber (born 27 August 1976) is an Australian former professional racing driver, who last competed in the FIA World Endurance Championship as a Porsche works driver in LMP1, in which he won the championship in 2015. After some racing success in Australia driving Formula Ford and Formula Holden, Webber moved to the United Kingdom in 1995 to further his motorsport career. Webber began a partnership with fellow Australian Paul Stoddart, at that time owner of the European Racing Formula 3000 team, which eventually took them both into Formula One when Stoddart bought the Minardi team. He also beat future F1 World Champion Fernando Alonso, then 19, in the 2000 International Formula 3000 season. Webber made his Formula One debut in 2002, scoring Minardi's first points in three years at his and Stoddart's home race. After his first season, Jaguar took him on as lead driver. During two years with the generally uncompetitive team, Webber qualified on the front two rows of the grid several times and outperformed his teammates. His first F1 win was with Red Bull at the 2009 German Grand Prix, which followed second places at the 2009 Chinese Grand Prix, 2009 Turkish Grand Prix and 2009 British Grand Prix. By the end of 2009, Webber had scored eight podiums, including another victory in Brazil. His eight podiums in 2009 compares to only two podiums in the first seven years of his career. He added ten more podiums in 2010, including victories in Spain, Monaco, Britain and Hungary. Webber finished the 2010 season in third place having led for a long period, losing out to teammate Sebastian Vettel in the final race of the season. Webber added another race victory in the 2011 Brazilian Grand Prix, as he once again finished third behind champion Vettel and runner-up Jenson Button. Webber partnered Vettel again in the 2012 season, outperforming him in the early season and looked to be a major title contender but fell away with no wins in the second half of the season after two in the Monaco and British Grands Prix. He finished the season in sixth position. Webber was also a long-term director of the Grand Prix Drivers' Association, the Formula One drivers' union. On 27 June 2013, Webber announced he would be retiring from Formula One at the end of the season. He began to race for Porsche in 2014, on a long-term deal, racing LMP1 Sportscars in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Webber is one of six drivers of the Porsche 919 Hybrid, and in November 2015 he became World Endurance Champion in the #17 car, alongside Timo Bernhard and Brendon Hartley. The trio race with the #1 on their car in 2016. After his retirement from F1 Webber joined the BBC F1 team as an occasional pundit and reporter from 2014–2015 and has joined the Channel 4 F1 Team in the UK for their coverage in 2016 as a full-time pundit. On 13 October 2016, Webber announced that he would retire from driving at the end of the 2016 season in order to take up a representative role with Porsche and to focus on media roles with Channel 4's coverage of F1 and WEC. more…
