The Yellow Handkerchief Page #5

I had this idea it might be of use

to someone, you know, in science.

I got a list

of some universities in the back

I'm gonna turn it in to when I've...

You know,

when I've collected enough data.

Thought somebody might be

interested in, you know,

studying abnormality firsthand.

That's brilliant...

I think.

Yeah, maybe

it can help somebody.

Or me.

Maybe it could help me.

No. No, no, no, no.

No, I take the photos!

Well, anyway, you're--

You're way

more fascinating than me.

I reckon

that you could probably, like,

help whole races of people.

Think planets.

I wouldn't limit the scope

of your abnormality to humans only.

Hungry?

Yeah.

Coffee, please.

Coffee, and OJ.

That postcard, the other day?

That was to May.

That was to her?

I sent that off into space.

Where we used to live.

I don't know...

if she still lives there.

I don't know if she lives

with somebody.

What'd you say?

I said if she wanted to see me,

she should put up the yellow sail

on the sailboat.

And, um, I said l'd, uh...

I'd stop by...

and check and see if it was there.

And if it wasn't there,

I'd go away.

I'll walk away

and won't bother her anymore.

Excuse me?

When the food comes out,

can we get it boxed up?

We're going.

I think it's better if I let her alone.

All right, well...

All right,

well, I'll drop you off at the bus stop,

because we're gonna go find her.

No, you wrote that letter,

and now you're trying

to get out of it.

Well, how's

that gonna help anything?

No, this is your fate.

And you gotta play this

out to the end,

or you're gonna walk around

a ghost the rest of your life.

You can't go see her

looking like that.

Can we pull over?

Why?

It was selfish

what I did, writing her.

I should just let her be.

I know that.

What a waste of gas.

Do you think she knows?

Knows what?

That she's the one thing

in your whole life you've ever loved?

Yeah, she does.

She's smart.

Well, then

you probably don't have to go.

It's just, it's weak.

What you're doing is weak,

it's not selfish.

We'll be there with you

when you have to face it.

So where is it?

Which side of the bridge?

It's to the left of the red lighthouse.

Is that--ls that it?

No, they're tugboats.

That's not the houseboat?

No, there's nothing there.

A lot can happen in six years.

Just have to accept it, Martine.

Have to accept it.

Maybe we can go by

your old house?

It's only

a couple blocks away, right?

It doesn't hurt, right?

We're here?

It does hurt.

It's the blue house on the right.

It's not her.

It's over.

It's all right.

Thank you for bringing me

to the end.

Please, let's find a place

to say goodbye.

Stop, stop!

Go back.

What?

It's May.

Okay.
