The Time Traveler's Wife Page #6

- It's cold out there.

- Don't be an old man.

Come on, just take a second.

KENDRICK:
Well, I've never considered

myself a performer, but I'd like to try.

What, uh?

What's up?

Just wanted to say

thanks for everything, man.

- You've been a great friend.

- What are you talking about?

Something might happen tonight.

All right?

And I just wanna let you know...

...that I know I've been a pain in the ass,

but you've been great.

It's all been great.

Yeah. Don't mention it.

You guys crazy?

It's freezing. Baby, put this on.

Gomez, just give us a minute, man.

ALBA:

Guys, can you believe it?

GOMEZ:

We're gonna give them a minute or two.

Henry?

No.

Come here.

Come on.

Why did you let me invite

all these people?

I didn't want you to be alone.

Hey. Hey.

I wouldn't change anything.

I would not give up...

...one second of our life together.

MAN:
Got it?

PHILIP:
Yeah. Shh, shh.

ALBA:

Dad. Dad.

[GRUNTS]

I knew I clipped it.

MAN:
I don't see any tracks.

- Yeah.

Let's try over here.

CHARISSE:

Clare.

- Clare.

KENDRICK:
I'm calling the hospital.

Okay.

I love you. More than anything.

I love you. I'll always love you. Always.

Stay here.

HENRY:

Alba, sweetie.

Daddy.

Oh, Henry.

Henry.

Sweetheart.

[CLARE WHIMPERING]

MAX:

Aah! Whoa.

- Daddy?

- Alba.

Daddy, I knew I'd see you again.

I knew it.

- How old are you? When is this?

- I'm 9.

You're 9?

And your mom still leaves clothes?

She says you never know.

You remember Max and Rosa, don't you?

Gomez's kids.

HENRY:

They're so grown-up.

Run back to the house, you guys.

Tell Mom he's here. Tell her to come.

Let's go.

ROSA:

Wait up.

Tell me the story

of how you and Mama met.

- Doesn't she tell you?

- She does, but not like you do.

Well, it was right here in this meadow.

And one fine day...

...your mom,

who's just a tiny little thing...

...goes out to the clearing,

and there's a man there.

- With no clothes.

- Not a stitch on him.

After she gives him a blanket

she happens to be carrying...

...he explains to her

that he's a time traveler.

Now, for some reason

I'll never understand...

...she believes him.

Because it's true.

Henry?

- I'm going.

- No, Daddy. Sing.

I can't sing.

Henry.

[LAUGHS]

- Where are you from?

- I'm 39.

Alba's just a baby.

We're in the house. We're happy.

Why didn't you tell me you were coming?

I would've been here waiting.

I didn't want you to wait.

I don't want you

to spend your life waiting.

Hmm...

I love you.

I can't stay.

I know.

ALBA:

Sometimes I think he's in the trees...

...deciding when to come out

and surprise me.

CLARE:
I used to think that

when I was a little girl.

That he was always here,

even when he wasn't.

ALBA:

I guess he is, isn't he?
