The Space Between Us Page #5

Go buy the clothes then change.

Break my heart, break my hands

You can take anything

but my plans.

I have got big things to do.

You can laugh, I'll be

I'll be standing right here when you die

I got big things...

Is that your song?

- Maybe.

It's beautiful.

- Whatever.

What goes on in there?

I don't know.

Got a few sleeping bags. Ready?

Yeah.

And I am driving this time.

- In your dreams.

Excuse me, sir.

Play that again.

They are moving aimlessly.

Why New Mexico?

Both hands on the wheel,

both eyes on the road.

Dude, do you have a problem?

Cause you've definitely been looking at me

for the last four hours,

and it's starting to freak me out.

You are so Beautiful.

And then you work that out just like that?

Yes, why wouldn't I?

Because you may wanna

just play it cool, you know.

Ease yourself into the love game.

- But I do think you're beautiful.

You're the most beautiful girl

I've ever seen.

Okay. Just slow your roll, kid.

You are.. You gotta calm down.

- But I do not wanna calm down.

I don't understand why

this is making you so upset.

First of all, I'm not upset,

I am uncomfortable. There's a difference.

Secondly, people don't go around saying

what they feel whenever they feel it.

They have guards and shields

and other metaphors.

Why? - Because we are all

messed up and scared...

and try to be something we are not.

And if we all went around

just declaring our innermost desires

to the exact people we felt them for...

Then we will all end up

happy, or something.

Look, Gardner...

I'm happy that you

think I am beautiful... and

.. kind of having

an amazing time with you.

But the last thing I'm gonna do

is actually tell you that.

You just did.

- You are blushing.

- I'm not.. not blushing.

Both hands on the wheel?

No.

What is happening?

Oh This is...

I believe the term is 'euphoria'.

I have an idea.

Hail in the southern desert

extending form Las

Close your eyes.

How did you just become

more beautiful in 20 seconds?

Do you want to kiss me?

Yeah, but I don't know how.

You will.

You don't understand.

On Mars, the people didn't do this.

We just had scientists

they studied ground samples.

Shut up, Gardner.

I thought about you everyday up there.

I know what's going to happen.

I'm gonna fall in love with you

and I'll fall to earth.

I'll be just like you.

- That a hook line.

Ok, I'll shut up now.

- No no.

Hold that thought.

To myself?

All my life I could not feel anything.

I couldn't feel water,

I couldn't feel fire.

I could not feel wind on my face.

And now I can.

That's nothing compared to

what I feel with you.

I was so scared

I would not know how to be human.

You make me human, Tulsa.

That's incredible.

I know right?

- It has so many legs.

Everything's cool?

This is reservation property

The tourist lookout,

it's 15 miles that way.

Yeah, we know.

We're hopefully not intruding,

but we're looking for Shaman Neka.

When you know, you know.

Know what?

- I am not sure.

Come on.

I have married many couples.

There were no state records.

Do you keep any?

I would keep her.

What was her name?

- Sarah Elliott.

So, I made this ring 16 years ago.

The other half of the ring

is with your father.

And this is the chart.

It doesn't say his name.

- No, she paid. That's her address.

Do you have that photo?

Mind if I borrow your computer?

Summerland, California.

I think this is it.

We found it.

Let's go.

You look like crap. You okay?

Do you know where we are going?

- Oh yeah.

Paris, Venice and Cairo.

Hello, Checking in?

Hi we just left the key is in the ignition.

Checking in.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, you wanted to see the world.

Here you have it.

It's..

It's like a big toy.

No, no no look.

That's Paris, New York, Shanghai.

And look, over there, Venice.

- Feels weird.

I mean... It's

It's not real.

It's not how I.. how I pictured it.

Hurting my heads to see it like this.

I'm sorry Gardner, but the world doesn't

always give you exactly what you want.

It gave to you.

Alright, let me be cynical for one second.

Tulsa just because your parents are gone,

that does not mean you can't have a family.

We can be each other's family, because this

This isn't..

This is not real

but we can be real.

I think it's time to go.

Let's ski into California.

Did you hear me what I said?

Oh yeah, I did.

Gardner I think you are sick.

None of this is how it was in my head.

- You need to go to the hospital.

- Except you.

- You need to go to the hospital.

Something is wrong with you.

Gardner, Gardner...

You are okay, you're okay.

Please help.

I wanna scan him.

- What's his name?

- Gardner.

- What's his Last name?

- I don't know.

Where is he from?

I don't know.

Look at this.

- I've never seen it like it before.

- Oh My God. What is that?

His heart is grossly enlarged.

I gave him some valsartan, but...

Doesn't look good.

He was not lying.

Gardner

Gardner, I have to go.

Social Services are coming.

But I'm gonna go to Summerland.

I'll find your father

and tell him how amazing you are.

How much you think about him

and how badly you wanted to go there.

I promise.

We need to go.

- You can't you can't.

You have to stay here, Gardner

Do you even know why you're sick?

Because your heart's too big.

We have to go into Summerland.

- You can't. They are gonna help you.

There is nothing they can do.

They can't. Don't you see?

No matter how much I want earth,

the earth does not want me.

Wait a second. Get my bag.

Hang on.

Social service.

- Thank God.

They used a credit card left in the car.

They are heading north to California.

I know where they're going.

Good evening.

I'm not dead.

You scared me.

You act like you hate

the world so much, Tulsa.

- Save your strength.

- It's all an act.

The beautiful music you

make, gets you away.

Gardner. We are here.

Hey, We are here.

Can you help me?

- Yeah, Of course. Help you what?

Just to look better.

This is the best place I've been so far.

You ready?

He's gonna love it.

Can I help you?

Now would be a good time to say something.

Where did you get this photo?

East Texas.

- That is impossible.

My mother was Sarah Elliot.

She died giving birth to me.

Sarah Elliot died from

pressure suit failure

That's not. That's what they said, but...

You're my father.

- Is this some kind of scam?

- No no, he's not lying.

It's the truth. I swear.

I just wanted to meet you.

- Why are you doing this to me?

I'm not your father. I'm calling the

police. Ok, just stay right here.

Stop being a dick.

He risked his life to leave the one place

he has ever know. All alone.

He didn't know anybody,

never set foot on this planet.

What do you want from me?

I could never do it. Just to meet you.

And he is dying.

I do not know who you are

or why you are doing this

I'm not his father.

Well then who are you? Because that is

you in the photo, and that is this house.
