UFO: The Greatest Story Ever Denied II - Moon Rising Page #7

if she was in pain,

if she was asking for him.

He kept telling me

over and over again,

"You've got to help her.

You should be taking care of her."

But, uh, I thought she was dead.

He asked for Rose.

He even asked me

to turn up the radio.

This poor kid, he's got blood

coming out of his ears.

He wanted her to hear

this song that was playing.

He thought she might like to hear it.

[Gasping]

I have to go.

[Horn honks in distance]

SHEA:
Relax. You can stay here

as long as you want.

And, Rose, I've called my mom

from women's correctional facilities.

This is, like, tiny, I swear.

[Dialing]

Hi. Lydia?

Yeah. Hi.

Uh, this is Shea.

I'm Rose's friend from work.

Tell her I'm okay.

Rose is absolutely fine,

and, um, she actually wants me

to tell you something which...

Okay. Well, we're not gonna need

a lot of your time, so...

[Exhales]

Oh, l... I didn't know.

Um, she lost her job?

Ah.

And she only has 15 minutes left

on the phone.

Um, I'm really sorry

to hear about all that,

but, uh, Rose wants me

to tell you something,

which is that she is pregnant.

[Exhales]

Yay! Um, I'd say just like

three or four months.

Yeah.

Oh, she's keeping it.

She put off Barnard for a year,

and, um...

Yeah. She's just, like,

handling it like a total Republican.

And, um, she wants you to know

that she is not at all scared.

And, uh, she's getting support

from the father's family and...

Um, I don't know.

I guess just whatever she needs.

Okay.

Um, she wants me

to ask you something.

Tell her it's okay

if she wants to come here.

Tell her it's fine.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Uh...

What?

Um, she wants you to ask

for 10,000 up front.

She says that she'll come help you

if you can get the 10,000 now,

'cause, um, well, she thinks

it's what you'll need.

She seemed, like, really glad

to hear that you were doing okay.

That's fine.

[Sniffles]

[Door opens]

Doctor said you could go?

Yeah.

Good.

You talked with Jordan Walker,

didn't you?

Yes.

What did you learn?

Bennett loved her, didn't he?

Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

I wanted him to call for me.

[Sighs]

Is that such a terrible thing?

[Sniffles]

I call for you.

I call for you every day.

I'm here now.

Oh, my God.

Poor baby.

- Oh, my God, my poor boy.

- It's okay. It's okay.

Oh, my poor, poor, poor,

poor boy.

Okay. It's all right.

It's okay.

[Sobbing]

Yes, it's okay.

All right.

[Sobbing continues]

Yes. It's all right.

[Sobbing continues]

I know. I know.

I know. I know.

It's okay. It's okay.

That's it.

I wasn't there

when he needed me the most.

Had l... I could... I could...

I could have saved him.

I could have saved him.

I could have saved him.

Allen...

I had 17 minutes,

and I could have saved him, Grace.

No. Listen to me.

Look at me. Allen.

Honey, you couldn't.

Listen to me.

It was a mistake.

It was a mistake.

He died on impact.

He didn't suffer at all.

You couldn't have done anything.

He didn't suffer.

There was no suffering.

There was nothing

you could have done to help him.

- Really.

- Oh, Grace.

Oh, Grace.

It's okay.

Oh.

[Exhales]

It's okay.

Grace, we have to bring her home.

- We have to.

- Okay.

[Door closes in distance]

[Door opens]

All the places

she could have gone.

I'm gonna go look for her.

We'll go with you.

Okay?

I'm ready. I'm okay.

Come on. Let's go.

Good work.

After you.

No, don't...

Shea.

Hi. It's Allen Brewer here.

Wow. You really would be

caught dead dressed like that.

- I'm looking for Rose.

- You lost her?

- In a way.

- I don't know where she is.

I'd like very much to find her.

We're very worried.

So, please, if you can

tell us something, at least...

It's about time.

All right.

Try the place

where they crashed.

She goes there in the afternoons.

[Bell jingles]

Okay.

[Birds chirping]

Rose!

- Rose! Wait!

- ALLEN:
Rose!

- GRACE:
Rose!

- ALLEN:
Rose!

[Piano music plays]

[Door slams]

Don't worry, the baby is fine!

Rose, we were worried, okay?

Why? Why would you be

worried about me?

Because I'm reading old yearbooks

to try to learn about my baby's dad?

Where you going, huh?

Hey, look, you're gonna miss her.

Because the most disgusting stuff

I've ever seen

just came out of my body

on a bus?

Did your water break?

Are you in labor?

I'm fine!

Really wonderful progress, Rose.

A beautiful way to end the year.

We were concerned about you.

You just disappeared.

Don't worry. I can do anything,

and this baby will be okay.

Bennett!

Let us take you to the hospital,

and if it's too soon,

then we'll just, uh...

we'll take you home.

[Chattering]

[Sighs]

I don't want to go home.

I don't want my baby to grow up

in your messed-up home.

Am I supposed to raise her

without ever talking

about her father?

Tell her she can't even mention

his name in front of her grandfather

because he hasn't completely

acknowledged that he's dead?

Or worry at night

that her grandmother

is gonna smother her

in her sleep

because she'd rather

she didn't exist?

Or that her uncle will leave

urine samples next to her crib?

I'm sorry. That wasn't fair.

I like you, Ryan.

I like you, too.

Thank you.

Look, I promise I won't

smother her in her crib.

I know I wasn't very helpful to you

in your situation,

and if I had to do it again,

I would do it completely differently.

Rose.

Look.

Once you have this baby,

you'll understand

that the most horrible thing

that can happen to a mother

is to lose her child.

I'm sorry...

for what happened between us.

I really am.

ALLEN:
Please, Rose.

Give us a chance here.

Just... Just get in the car with us.

Please.

I don't even know who he is.

What do you want to know?

We'll tell you.

I want to know everything

I would know if he was still alive.

I want more memories of him.

Yeah.

We'll tell you everything

you want to know about him.

We'll just keep talking

till the baby comes.

There's a picture of Bennett

on the track.

Was he fast?

Is my baby gonna be fast?

Yes.

How fast?

Wow.

[Screams, inhales]

Okay. Okay.

He was voted Best All-Around.

Why did they...

Why did people like him so much?

[Exhales]

Tell me!

Uh, because he was a nice guy.

In third grade

when his friend Jack got glasses,

Bennett felt so bad for him that

he took Allen's reading glasses...

- You remember?

- Mm-hmm.

And he wore them to school

the next day

so Jack wouldn't be the only one.

[Laughs]

Okay. Okay.

Um, who's this girl he's with?

That is his prom date,

and he only went with her

because she gave good head.

- Ryan!

- That's true!

No, that's good. I like that.

That's information.

I think she was a very smart girl.

They studied English lit together

one summer at Oxford.

- She gave good head.

- What else?

- Ryan!

- It's true. It's true.

What else? What else?

What else? What else?

He hated to have his picture taken.

Whenever I went to take his picture,

he'd always make this horrible face.

- What was the face?

- Oh, it was a...
