UFO: The Greatest Story Ever Denied II - Moon Rising Page #4

---

My mom thought it was

too close to the moon.

Oh, that's a good one.

[Laughs]

Doesn't make any sense.

No, not really.

You know, your mother

is more than welcome

to come and stay with us

if she wants.

That wouldn't work.

My mom's not really sane.

Oh, I don't think that would

scare anyone in our house.

[Chuckles]

The truth is,

I haven't told her I'm pregnant.

Why not?

Because she'll... she'll tell me

I've chosen the wrong path.

I don't wanna hear that.

I don't think you've chosen

the wrong path.

I'm not 100% sure why you chose it,

but I'm not sorry you did.

I know there are other options.

Listen, we would have

supported you either way.

I'm not against any of them.

It's... Of course not.

It's just...

I don't know.

You don't have to...

No, I do know.

Come here. Come here.

You don't have to know.

You don't have to know.

It's okay.

We can talk about this

at another time and...

Should we catch a movie?

Ryan!

Allen!

Do you wanna see

my only party trick?

Sure.

Okay. Hold that.

Mm-hmm.

Look at that.

[Both laughing]

That's good.

I've never actually

done that at a party.

I wonder how that comes up

organically.

Do you have any party tricks?

[Sighs]

Um...

I don't know if it counts,

but I never forget people's numbers.

Hmm.

I... tend to memorize numbers.

What are my numbers?

Well, you have 18 years,

You came to our doorstep

on 8-14-2008 at 4:30 p.m.

Your due date is 2-12-2009,

which leaves 119 more days,

And you have two heartbeats.

As I get to know you,

I'll tell you more.

That's a much better party trick.

[Crash]

P. A:
Price check

on register four, please.

[Police Radio:

Dispatcher, indistinct]

Jesus Christ!

What happened?

Where's Grace?

She's fine.

She's out back, waiting.

- My son?

- He's upstairs. He's fine.

Okay.

What, exactly, happened?

Your wife had a difficult time

at a grocery store

and needed assistance.

- And she's out the back?

- Yes.

All right, thank you, officer.

This is Rose.

Are you all right?

I called a taxi.

Why didn't you call me?

'Cause your phone was off.

I'm sorry.

I was at the movies.

You went to the movies?

Yes, with Rose.

It was nice to get out.

Well, how could you

turn your phone off?

Grace, it was only

a couple of hours.

But anything can happen

in a couple of hours. Anything.

What happened

at the grocery store?

Was it a funny movie?

I mean, did you laugh?

Or was it sad?

Did you cry?

Ouch.

Oh, God, Allen, don't do that.

I can't stand that "ouch" thing.

Ouch.

Really. I'm warning you.

Don't start with that.

I just wanna know what happened

at the grocery store. That's all.

Well, I've got an idea for you.

Why don't the two of you,

you and Rose,

go off to Paris or Rome

or somewhere really romantic

and just get a vacation

from all this death?

Hey, hey.

That's not fair.

No, you know what's not fair?

It's not fair that you can go

to the movies with her

and I can't even pass

Bennett's favorite cereal.

Come on, Grace, please.

Just don't... don't do this.

- Don't... Just don't...

- Allen, stop it.

- Goddamn it!

- Allen!

[Allen shouting, indistinct]

Allen! Where are you going?

No, don't!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Let me help you.

Let me help you.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

[Gasping, sobbing]

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I really am sorry.

I love you. I love you.

I love you. I love you.

Grace, I love you and no one else.

Do you understand me?

[No audible dialogue]

[No audible dialogue]

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry I was gone so long.

But I'm back now.

[Panting]

And, oh, wonderful. Look.

They can't even follow

the simplest instructions.

How many times have I told them

that you need the light?

But okay. Enough of that.

Let's read our Ellison again.

I don't even remember

where we are.

Is it the seventh

or the eighth chapter?

Let's see.

Eighth chapter.

You know, we're gonna finish

this whole summer reading list,

which is a first.

[Sighs]

And I gotta tell you

that the high-school one

is much more boring

than the college.

Okay. Where were we?

Let's see.

"He started toward me

as in a dream,

trembling like the needle

of one of the gauges

as he pointed toward the stairs,

his voice shrieking.

I stared. Something seemed

to have gone wrong.

My reflexes"...

You know, Allen...

he hasn't always been like this.

I don't want you to judge him.

He's actually a very kind man.

And you would see that

if you met him.

He's never loved anyone less

than he should. Never.

I want you to know that.

[Monitor beeping steadily]

It's just a phase. It's a phase

that we're going through. That's all.

Just like any other.

"'What's the matter? ', I stammered,

my voice low and my"...

He's all yours.

Wait, what's going on?

Wait a minute. What?

- Mr. Walker's being moved.

- What? Where? Why?

Mr. Walker has warrants

out for his arrest.

We're taking him to County Hospital,

where there's 24-hour security.

- Must be a mistake.

- There is no mistake.

Stop it! What about all his things?

You... You...

He's not gonna need any

of his things where he's going.

He's gonna be so terrified

if he wakes up and doesn't have his...

What do you think this kind of man

is gonna add to your life?

Stop it! No...

The minute he wakes up,

if he wakes up,

he's being shipped

straight to Rikers.

Are you gonna visit him there, too?

[Beeping continues]

[Hospital bed departing]

[Clears throat]

[Footsteps approaching]

[Exhales]

[Sighs]

[Dog barking in distance]

I think Grace might be

having an affair.

No.

I wouldn't blame her if she was.

I don't think she would do that.

I did.

I had one.

[Exhales]

I needed to know

that she loved me.

Our entire married life,

I've always felt like...

we were on our first date.

Hmm.

I never deserved her.

Never.

Do you want to go

to a party with me?

[Chuckles]

There's three kegs.

[Dance music plays]

[Laughs]

[Chattering]

- I don't think I'm dressed for this.

- Oh, don't worry.

These people are

pretty nonjudgmental.

Oh, my God! You're huge!

[Laughs]

I didn't think it was possible

for you to stretch like that.

Shea, this is Allen.

Allen, this is Shea.

Hi. How are you?

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Wait. You guys did realize

this was

a "Wear Something You'd Never

Be Caught Dead In" party, right?

No. But I'm wearing Grace's

old maternity clothes,

so that kinda works out.

- And you?

- This is it.

Well, you're actually

kind of perfect, so...

Come on in.

Come in.

- Yeah, man!

- Oh, boy.

- Right on.

- Oh...

Hey, hey.

[Man chattering]

I wouldn't be caught dead naked!

Yeah!

Hey, um, are you a pregnant teen

or something?

Yeah, I am.

Do you live under a freeway

and are gonna have

a homeless baby

and use it to raise more money?

No, I'm just a regular

pregnant teen.

Oh. Right on!

I wouldn't be caught dead

having a baby!

[Laughs, exhales]

Hey, is it okay if I just

come a little closer?
