Veronika Decides To Die Page #4

by giving him the illusion...

he's helping her, through love...

then her life and dead would

not have been completely meaningless.

My god! Is that the only

consolation you can manage?

Anyway... I made

a few phone-calls...

I found a nice legal-aid office

on West End Avenue in Manhattan.

No Billionare Corporate clients.

just needy defentants...

without a pot to piss in.

Down the block is a decent takeout deli,

I can bring my lunch to the park.

Who knows? Maybe I'll... call up

my ex-husband see how he's keeping.

Well, it sounds all very normal.

It's time I got away from you.

I mean... from here.

That's like I been saying,

for how many years is it now?

This is my office address.

I stay with my sister

until I can find a place.

I get you the number

when I have one.

Thank you.

You can come sit with me

in the park one day.

If my schedule let's up, maybe.

You can't hide here

forever, Alex.

Yeah?

Hey.

Want some help?

You can put

those clothes in there.

- Okay.

- Thanks.

You know,

I heard you last night...

playing the piano in a way

I've rarely heard before.

And I that you played

with so much soul...

because you know

you're gonna die.

I thought... when I'm gonna die,

where's my soul?

I lost it...

to my husband and a job

and a house...

and I never had the courage

to leave.

And now today,

I feel like I can.

I wasn't myself last night.

Only maybe,

I really was.

Nothing makes

any sense anymore.

Some people go their whole lives,

searching for one moment...

like the one you had...

never achieve it.

You got a thousand in you.

- Sorry, I...

- No, it's okay,

it's time

for Edward his treatment.

You two can see each other later in

the playroom. So, what you working today?

Come on.

It's time for your treatment.

Come on.

I need to leave Villette.

Were you talking?

I wanna leave.

Assistance, please. Northeast corridor.

Immediate assistance.

It's okay Ed,

it's okay.

Hey Eddie,

everything okay?

I need to talk to Dr. Blake.

Wow! You're talking up

a storm there, huh?

I wanna go.

Why don't you take a few of these,

calm down a little bid.

Go here something very

of grand?

Don't touch me.

- Where's Blake?

- You got a hot appointment in the city?

Dr. Thompson, you need to get here

right the way.

You're just having a little crisis.

- Whoa! What's going on?

- He talked!

Edward, that's wonderful!

Let's get him outta the hallway, okay?

Everybody, just calm down.

Edward, let's get you to the room.

Relax!

Everybody calm down.

- Veronika!

- Keep your hands off him, okay?

- Veronika!

- Keep your hands off of him.

Get back, leave him alone.

You just spoke.

I believe that you just started

to become important to me.

- Ed, you need to come with me.

- Take him to emergency.

You need to go find Blake.

We do the treatment

as planned?

Wait!

I'm coming with you.

- I'm going with him.

- Go.

Go back to your rooms now.

Hey.

Hey.

Are you back, huh?

You don't remember, do you?

Veronika.

How you feel?

Like I could live forever.

It's like you're a part of me now,

like you're inside of me.

You better

take good care of me.

It's too cold for you

to be out here.

No, I like to see the sunrise.

Okay?

If you close the door...

the night

could last forever.

And no sun shining in.

and say hello to never.

All the people are dancing

and they're having so much fun.

I wish it would happen to me.

If you close the door...

the night

could last forever.

I'll get the wine...

we shall toast to never.

But, some times, I know.

Your eyes,

say hello.

You're a very special girl.

But if you close the door...

I'll never have to see

the day again.

Veronika?

Veronika?

No!

Dr. Thompson.

Greetings.

This office and Villette

are now in your care.

I hope you will conduct yourself wisely,

as I have tried to do.

I want to bring you up to speed with

a few things, clear up a few matters.

In a few more days,

I've anticipated telling Veronika...

that our injections

had cured her heart condition.

But in light of her unscheduled

departure from Villette...

my telling her a perticulare lie

will not be required.

The majority of people

who attempt suicide...

repeat that attempt

until they succeed.

I took a risk in lying to her

about her condition.

I decided to test the only remedy

I've come to have any faith in.

Awareness of life.

Hey, look.

We made it.

We did.

Until she finds out from some doctor

that she's perfectly healthy...

She'll consider each day

a miracle.

Which, in my view, it is.
