The Hasty Heart Page #10

Are you ready, Lachie?

Aye.

- Would you help him with his kit?

- He doesn't want any help.

Yank, please.

He doesn't have to leave,

he knows he's wrong,

but he's just too stubborn to admit it.

Let him go.

I wish I could understand what makes

a man wanna die despised and friendless.

Digger?

Sure.

- Where's your bag, Lachie?

- I need no help.

Goodbye, Lachie.

Well, now that he's out of the way

we can take some pictures.

Come on, you guys, how about it?

Let's have some fun.

Digger, Kiwi, Tommy,

get in right over here.

You too, Blossom.

Here, Sister, you take the pictures.

Come on, line up,

here's a good place right here.

Get down on the bed.

Okay, right here, Blossom.

Now, let's smile everybody.

Come on, a great big, broad smile.

I'd be willing to consider remaining

if you admit you wronged me.

If you think we're gonna beg you to stay,

you're wasting your time.

We're ready, Sister.

- I'll not give you another chance.

- I told you, you're wasting your time.

Come on, take the picture, Sister.

I do not want to die alone.

Lachie, why don't you say everything

you want to say?

It's not easy for me to say it.

All my life

I've hated what I could not have,

and saved my pride.

But, now, I've not the time

to squander on my pride.

So I ask you humbly.

I want to stay.

If I must beg you to take me back,

then I beg you.

Why don't you get washed up, buster?

You'll feel better.

Aye.

Well, you made him stay, Yank.

Yeah, I feel as if someone

should kick my teeth in.

Here.

You think it'd make him feel better

if we let him play his bagpipes?

Don't be silly,

he hasn't any wind left in him.

True enough.

Oh, Sister, he looked a bit pale.

Maybe you'd better go in and see him.

No, I think not.

He just swallowed his pride,

it'll take him a moment or two to digest it.

Come on, let's finish

taking these pictures, shall we?

Yeah, we might as well get that over with.

Come on, Blossom,

have your picture taken.

Oh, I'm gonna sit down for a change.

- Tommy?

- Coming now, Sister.

Now, stand close together.

Oh, this is lovely.

One, two, three.

Would you be so good as to let me

have my photo taken with you?

Please?

You belong here, buster.

- Ready?

- Oh, excuse me.

Now, hold still.

Do we look very handsome, Sister?

No, not very handsome.

But very, very wonderful.

One, two, three.

That's it.

Hey! Now, don't you do that!

I found out! I looked, I found out!

Hey, Sister, it's not fair!

Tommy.
