The Way We Were Page #7

I hate the palm trees.

I wish it would rain.

Oh, I want...

I want...

What?

I want us to love each other.

Give me a beer.

Coming up, skipper. There you go.

What the hell. It doesn't matter

anyway. She wasn't much.

Ah, don't get sloppy.

You had some good days.

It's the rum.

No excuse, buddy.

It's not like, you know,

losing somebody like Katie.

That would be a loss.

Best Saturday afternoon?

1933, when "Brute" Holland

was out with a bad knee.

Best month?

April.

Best year?

Best year...

No, '45...

Forty-six.

It's amazing how decisions

are forced on you willy-nilly.

You never did want to finish

your book, did you?

I don't know.

I never thought there was much point.

And you never really wanted

to go to France, did you?

No, I didn't. You wanted me to.

Yeah.

Oh, boy.

Oh, girl.

Are you all right?

Yeah, fine.

Sit back.

Wouldn't it be lovely if we were old?

We'd have survived all this.

Everything would be

easy and uncomplicated.

The way it was

when we were young.

It was never uncomplicated.

But it was lovely.

Wasn't it?

Yes. It was lovely.

Will you do me one favour,

Hubbell?

Stay with me till the baby's born?

More flowers for you, Mrs. Gardiner.

I thought...

It's a nice room.

Yeah, it is.

Did you get your father?

Yeah.

I'd like to call her Rachel.

Fine.

Did you see her yet?

Yeah.

She... She's...

She's little.

I know.

I've got the crib together.

Oh, you don't have it ironed

anymore!

What?

Your hair.

Oh. No, I don't.

It's pretty.

Thank you.

Still married?

Sure. What are you doing

in New York?

I've been writing a television show.

Really?

There's an experience.

It happens so fast.

Shoot it in one day, live, on the air.

Everybody in a constant state of panic.

You remember how radio was.

Same thing,

only with cameras. And craziness!

Make a great comic novel.

It sounds wonderful, really.

Your taxi's ready, sir.

Uh...

I'm awfully late.

Please call and come for a drink?

It's the only David X. Cohen

in the book. Nice to meet you.

What's the "X" for?

The only David X. Cohen

in the book.

I'm sorry I'm late.

How are we doing, huh?

Oh, wonderful.

We've got 122 on that one.

And Charlene called.

She's doing great.

Marvellous.

Wonderful.

That's a good one too,

don't you think?

What about Eileen?

You never give up, do you?

Only when I'm absolutely

forced to.

But I'm a very good loser.

Better than I am.

Well, I've had...

more practice.

Your girl is lovely, Hubbell.

Bring her for a drink when you come.

I can't come, Katie.

I can't.

I know.

How is she?

She is just beautiful.

You would be so proud of her.

I'm glad.

Is he a good father?

Yes. Very.

Good.

See you, Katie.

See you, Hubbell.

Ban the bomb!

Join the thousands of Americans

who are protesting the use...

Memories

May be beautiful, and yet

What's too painful to remember

We simply choose to forget

So it's the laughter

We will remember

Whenever we remember

The way we were

The way we
