up there?
I've been there
for some time.
You told me about her.
I have to look at.
Some of these creeks
and rivers--
The woman you met
at the hospital.
You talk to my sister, right?
Someone you'd known
in your youth.
I'm going over to the...
The tall grass prairie now.
The ranch is going
into receivership.
It's going bankrupt.
No, he claimed he didn't
want to have kids
While he was in school.
She hadn't changed.
So many student loans,
gambling debts
and this ranch
that's falling apart.
I caught you
on the right day then.
Kind.
I had a child...
a little girl.
She died.
My father...
he said to read romans.
"All things
work together for good."
He believed that.
Will you pray with me?
I had no faith.
You knew.
Were you afraid?
My mother says
I'm chasing moonbeams.
Is that what she said?
I told her I'd rather
Have a moonbeam than
The life I had before.
Do you want this?
Do you know
what you want?
I can't afford...
to make mistakes
with men anymore.
I want you to come
more often.
Can you?
I've been waiting for you.
I felt wild.
I don't know.
What are you laughing at?
You.
- Me?
- You make me laugh.
You make me happy.
You took me.
No.
Girl.
Little girl.
Fool.
Here I am.
Yes.
I feel stripped bare.
I don't know
where I'm going.
I return to my apartment
and collapse.
I can't take it here
anymore.
Paris is dreadful.
I don't see Tatiana.
She's gone...
To live with her father.
I can't find a job.
I want to come back
to the states.
I met someone who told me
He'd marry me
Tell her.
I trust you.
I want to be your wife.
I love you.
Walk away.
I thought I knew you.
Now I don't think
you ever were.
What we had was nothing.
You made it into nothing.
Pleasure.
Lust.
Ma'am, if you'll come
over here.
Sir, if you'll be
on this side, please.
You all have rings
for each other?
"To love, honor
and cherish you."
"Be faithful only to you."
"As long
as we both shall live."
"And I do promise
before these witnesses..."
"And I do promise before
these witnesses..."
"To love, honor
and cherish you..."
"To love, honor
and cherish you..."
"To be faithful
only to you..."
"To be faithful
only to you..."
"As long as we both
shall live."
"As long as
we both shall live."
I feel so close to you...
That I could almost
touch you.
There is always this
invisible something...
That I feel so strongly...
Which ties us so tightly together.
I love this feeling...
Even if it makes me
cry sometimes.
It is so strong,
this conviction...
That I belong to you.
Maybe you'd like me to stop
telling you I love you.
I know that strong feelings
make you uneasy.
Tell me if that's so.
See my bracelet.
It's pretty.
Where's it from?
How's everything there?
You miss being here?
It's great here.
Honestly, at dad's
it's so much fun.
No, I'm the one
who took it out.
It didn't hurt?
You're so pretty.
The divine presence...
which sleeps in each man,
each woman.
You say...
"Christ said this."
"Christ said that."
What do you say?
And what you say,
does it come
from god within?
Answer that...
which is of God,
in every woman,
every man.
Know each other
in that love,
that never changes.
I'd like to show you
here on the monitor.
This is the area
of your uterus,
and the I.U.D. That you
have in place there.
We feel like one of the
less risky procedures
that we can do is
to remove this device.
And we see if those
symptoms don't resolve.
you and your husband
need to consider
is with the absence
of the I.U.D.
Is this a time that you may want
for contraception?
So I don't need to have
a hysterectomy?
That's the good news.
Thank you.
Would you like
to have children?
Someday.
"God gave us marriage
as a holy mystery..."
"In which a man and woman
are joined together..."
"And become one."
"And with affection
and tenderness..."
"freely give themselves
to each other."
"This ring I give you..."
"Is a sign of our
constant faith..."
"Is a sign of
our constant faith..."
"And abiding love."
"And abiding love."
Go.
Where are we...
When we're there?
Why not always?
Which is the truth?
What we know up there?
Or down here?
We pray thy blessings
upon them
and upon this food
which we are about to eat.
Would you like one?
Alone.
He just goes off
like that.
I don't know
where he goes.
Leave while you can.
Now that you're young.
Beautiful.
Your whole life
in front of you.
Live and do
what you like.
Life's a dream.
In a dream you can't
make mistakes.
In a dream you can be...
Whatever you want.
Anything.
Leave this place.
It's cramped.
Small.
There's nothing here.
Look at their faces.
False.
All false.
You're a little dreamer.
You need to fly.
You should be free.
Listen to your heart.
Dead?
No, my bag!
You're crazy!
We'll get it later.
When we come back.
It's hidden.
You don't need anything.
You're free.
We're gypsies.
You're like me.
A gypsy.
I'm my own experiment.
Come get me.
I'm here.
Where are the people?
They're all dead.
Nobody's here. Nothing.
I want somebody to surprise me.
Where are you people?
What are you looking at?
You think I'm a monster?
An evil monster?
A vampire?
A witch?
I want to break
these chains...
Be free.
Open me.
Enter me.
Show me how to love you.
Why do we come back down?
Things have gotten worse.
In and out of prisons
like this.
I don't know what happened.
I was drunk.
If I had done this,
I'm not saying I did,
I might've, I could've.
I'm asking
for forgiveness, father.
I can't help myself.
If you need me to kneel down,
I'll kneel down.
I want to be free.
That sun is just
right in my eyes.
I can fight, I will fight.
I can fight with my
feet and hands.
They think they're really about
something, but they ain't.
You gonna open that bible
and preach to me now?
Intensely I seek you.
My soul thirsts for you.
Exhausted.
Will you be like a stream
that dries up?
Loverboy!
Where are you?
Love is not only a feeling.
Love is a duty.
You shall love.
Love is a command.
And you say,
"I can't command my emotions.
"they come and go
like clouds."
To that, Christ says,
"you shall love...
whether you like it
or not."
You fear
your love has died."
"It perhaps is waiting
to be transformed
into something higher."
We fight.
Without knowing why.
Weak people never bring
anything to an end themselves.
They wait
for others to do it.
How had hate come to take
the place of love?
My tender heart
grown hard?
Do you want me
as a wife?
A lover?
Companion?
He's killing me!
I'm sorry.
You want me to die? Here!
Why don't you
have them?
I'm frightened.
Why do you turn your back?
All I see is destruction.
Failure.
Give me your blessing, father.
I've hurt people.
I know what I am.
