Well, weren't you home?

Yeah.

Yeah, you're right.

I was home.

And what about

the night nanny?

Uh, no.

I don't know where she was.

I actually don't really know

that much about her.

Uh, do you mind if I get back?

I kind of...

Yeah. Actually they just need

you to finish up some paperwork

at this window right here

and then we'll reconvene.

Okay. Thank you.

Uh, Marlo Moreau.

Yes.

Do you have

your insurance card?

Yeah, I do.

Hey, Drew. How we doing?

Hey.

Um... I don't...

I don't know

what the hell's going on.

RECEPTIONIST:
And the patient's

date of birth.

Uh, 6-7-77.

Can we see her?

- Are you still at the same address?

- Yeah.

- She's, uh... she's still out.

- What is her maiden name?

So I think...

Uh, Tully.

T-U-L-L-Y.

CRAIG:
All right.

What-what can we do for you?

And the last four digits

of her social.

Y-You're doing it.

Um...

TULLY:

Hey.

You look a little beat up.

Well, you should see the river.

(CHUCKLES)

(INHALES)

So, obviously, we can't

see each other anymore.

I don't want you to go.

Well, I was really just here

to get you through

the danger zone.

Yeah, and what am I supposed

to do now?

Uh, you'll do

what you have to do.

And then you'll do it again.

If I'm older,

why are you so much wiser?

Because I'm 26.

All I have

is time to think about stuff.

Such a shame

you're gonna forget it all

after three pregnancies.

Not...

I just started learning

Italian. Do I forget that?

(SIGHS) You'll never get past

"good evening."

- Mm...

- Sorry.

Oh.

(LAUGHS SOFTLY)

Thank you for keeping me alive.

(WHISPERS):

The same.

Ciao.

(QUIETLY):

Ciao.

Hi.

Hi.

Marlo, I'm so sorry.

- Why are you sorry?

- I'm just so sorry

- that I let this happen.

- You didn't do anything.

No, I know,

and that's the problem, okay?

I just... I...

(SIGHS)

I got overwhelmed

with the kids and-and-and work,

and I just, I wasn't

taking care of you, and I'm...

I-I didn't understand

what was going on at night.

I thought you...

I thought you were doing great.

I was doing great. I mean...

wasn't I great?

No, f*** that!

I don't... That's not...

I don't want

that kind of great.

All right?

I just... I just want you.

(VOICE BREAKING):

I just want you to be okay.

You know, if you want to...

run off or something, I...

I mean, I get that, I...

'cause I want to do that

too, sometimes,

but I'm not gonna.

(SIGHS)

I love us.

I love us, too.

- (MIA GURGLING)

- (DREW TALKING SOFTLY)

All right. You ready?

Okay. Come sit down.

Let's do your arms.

(SIGHS):

Okay.

You ready?

Mom, is this real?

What do you mean?

I'm not sure

what it's supposed to do.

Well, honestly, I don't know.

Do you like it when we do it?

I like being by you.

I like being by you, too.

And it feels nice, I guess.

Well, maybe

it's all that matters.

Maybe we don't need the brush.

Okay.

Okay.

I love you.

(MARLO EXHALES)

(WHISPERS):

I love you, too.

(SONG ENDS)

(ACOUSTIC GUITAR PLAYING)

I never knew

That my life would be

Changing in you

The water was cold

Ice, ice cold

I was thinking of you

I can build you a boat

Or be the whale

that guides you

I can be the wave

I can be the one

that holds you

Holds you

I didn't know

That I needed to let you go

And I can keep your eyes

But it's better

to say good-bye

So just float away

Into my arms and stay

Ooh-ooh

I can build you a boat

Or be the whale

that guides you

I can be the wave

I can be the one

that holds you

Holds you

Ooh...

Ooh... ooh-ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh... ooh

Hmm, hmm, hmm.
