Untamed Heart Page #3

Finish.

I'm sorry that... I was late...

that night.

I don't think I ever heard you speak,

and when you do,

you apologise to me

for saving me against...

God knows what could have happened.

Why should I be surprised? My life is like

watching the Three Stooges in Spanish.

- Either I'm being dumped or attacked.

- (banging)

Don't hit the machine!

I'm sorry. I don't even know

what I'm saying any more.

I'll talk to you about this later.

And I brought your coat back.

(# "Bad Bad Boys" by Midi, Maxi & Efti)

# Yeah, ah-ha

# Yeah, ah-ha, ah-ha

# Yeah, ah-ha

# Yeah, ah-ha, ah-ha

# Bad, bad boys,

come with me, come with me

# Bad, bad boys,

come with me, come with me

# I feel positive

# This time I want to go away

You sure you're all right

to come back to work, hon?

Been looking a little puffy these days.

You sure it was the flu

and not somethin' else?

I'm all right.

Just checking.

What do you think about Adam?

I think he's very weird.

I wonder what he thinks about.

I don't think Adam actually thinks. We're

talkin' about a man who hasn't spoken.

- So?

- So? You don't find that a little weird?

Look at him.

He looks like a tumour sitting over there.

And his hair. Oh, God!

It just bothers me so much.

You know, Lottie says

that he has ape parts in him,

or somethin' like that, I don't know.

Oh, my God. Lottie.

- What a story!

- Well, whatever.

Too bad, though.

He is kinda cute.

I'd do him. If he just wasn't so dumb.

So what are you doin' for Christmas?

Uh...

The usual. Grandparents coming over,

sitting in front of the TV,

looking at the stupid tree,

giving me ten dollars,

asking me where my boyfriend is.

Oh, hon.

You know, it's all right to feel shitty

this time of year. Everybody does.

It's, like, this is life, and when

you go through it long enough,

you know what the flavour is,

and it sure ain't vanilla.

# Yeah, ah-ha

# Yeah, ah-ha, ah-ha

# Bad, bad boys

Why don't you come over for Christmas?

My dad's always saying

"What's wrong with Caroline?

She misses us or what? Or she hates us."

We'll see.

We'll see, huh? We'll see. You know,

I knew you were gonna say that.

Just forget the whole thing.

You know, just forget it.

You got a problem. You really gotta learn

to follow through with things.

I mean, you never finish

anything you start.

- I finish.

- Oh, yeah?

Did you finish beauty school?

We got our practical exam in two weeks.

Yeah, and what about the flower shop?

What happened to the opening?

- Mm-hm.

- Mm-hm.

You know what, Caroline?

I'm gonna give you your first lesson.

Why don't you finish this for me?

B*tch.

Wench.

Slut.

Douchebag.

You better go do your sugars

before I sic Jim on you.

Jim!

Jim! Caroline is screwin' up again!

Jim!

Hi.

You can always measure your tips

by your sugar jars.

Come 3am, I see empty sugar jars,

I know I've got good tips.

- You like hockey?

- Hm?

- Ever been to a game?

- No.

Maybe we could go to a game sometime.

You took my bandage off.

It's OK.

It's OK, it's OK.

Bye.

(phone rings)

I liked their roasted dishes. I liked their

Italian, that miramisu or whatever it is...

Tiramisu, yeah.

If my brother ever shows up,

tell him I'm gonna kill him.

If you look up long enough,

you'll see a shooting star.

But they're not really stars.

They're meteors.

- Really?

- Falling to the earth.

You can see them good from this bridge.

There's the Big Dipper.

There's the North Star.

- Come on, I wanna show you something.

- (Caroline) All right.

What's this?

It's OK. This is where I live.

Oh.

- Ooh!

- This is my dog.

Hi. Hi.

Good dog. What's her name?

I don't know. He never told me.

I don't mean to be rude to you

in your own place or anything,

but you are a little strange sometimes.

- Would you like some ice cream?

- Ice cream?

No, I... No.

You read all these books?

I don't sleep very well.

Got a... cosy little apartment.

You...

This is from New Year's Eve. Did you take

this from behind the counter at work?

I better get going.

Thanks for everything.

Uh...

Well, tomorrow's Christmas Eve,

and I don't work the day after that, so...

Merry Christmas.

Ow!

What?

# Christmas always comes

# This time of the year

# Little girls

# And little boys

# Dream of worlds

# Full of toys

# This time of the year

# When Christmas is near

# Evergreens

# Are snowy white

# Sleigh bells ring

What the hell happened to my tree?

Michael! Caroline!

Caroline!

# When Christmas is near

(gasps)

# And somewhere

# Near a steeple

# People kneel and pray

# And choirs sing

# Carols of Christmas Day

# Santa Claus

# Is on his way

# Loads of joy

Adam! It's Caroline.

# This time of the year

I brought you some cookies. I made them.

Did you have a nice Christmas yesterday?

Can I come in?

- Great weather. What do you think?

- Would you like some ice cream?

Big on the ice cream, aren't you?

No, thanks.

Well, I guess the cookies

are a little on the sugary side.

So, you were all alone for Christmas.

I should have stopped over yesterday.

I should have invited you over.

But... I guess you were already there.

Thank you for the tree. It's so beautiful.

It really made my day

that you remembered.

Did I come at a bad time?

Do you want me to go?

- No.

- OK, then I'll stay.

I'm not even gonna ask

how you got into our house.

- Do you like music, Caroline?

- Mm-hm.

I never heard you say my name before.

It sounded nice.

Would you like to see my records,

Caroline? Caroline?

Sure.

Wow.

They look really old.

They're magic.

They're not magic!

What kind of magic do they do?

In the orphanage

Mother Camilla used to play them for me.

I used to sit in the sunlight

near the window in her office,

and I'd fall asleep to them.

She gave them to me when I left.

Whenever my life doesn't agree with me,

I lie down and I play these records and...

the rain stops falling.

Would you like to hear one?

Mm-hm.

(# piano music)

You must have loved her a lot...

Mother Camilla.

She...

She's the one

who told me about my heart.

What about your heart?

I was... I was a very sick baby.

My heart was very weak.

My mother, she died when I was born.

She died in the jungle,

where she and my father were living.

In the jungle?

My father was a great adventurer.

One day the great king

of the silver baboons

came down from his peak

high on the mountaintops of Kilimanjaro

and caught my father stealing his treasure

from a deep, dark cave at the very bottom,

where magic rubies trickled down

from the top of the mountain.

After a terrible battle

with the baboon king,

my father was wounded and left to die.

When the great king later learned that

my father needed the enchanted rubies

to heal his son with the dying heart,

he was so overwhelmed with guilt

and shame at what he had done

that he took his own beating heart

right from his mighty baboon chest

and placed it in mine.

Mother Camilla told you all this?

You believe her?
