- They had a child? -Yes.

It's a common enough story.

Marriage, child, divorce...

but then the war.

Especially for her.

As for Joachim, he was a prisoner of war.

Then returned home and...

back to life as usual.

It was an unfortunate period in history.

Your move.

Whatever became of Hannah?

- I don't know.

Joachim might know.

Sorry. Sorry... Joachim has seen us.

Wait a minute. Listen... I would, I would

really love to but I can't tonight. -Why?

Because it's, you know it's the day.

- What day?

It's, it's the most dangerous

day of the month.

Hannah!

You're not gonna believe

what I've just been offered.

Walter, there's something I have to tell you.

- Escher Wyss wants me to go to Baghdad.

They're gonna build a huge dam to irrigate

the entire desert. It's revolutionary.

Walter.

I'm pregnant.

You are?

- Yeah!

Have you seen a doctor?

- I don't need a doctor I'm absolutely sure.

Listen, we have to think about this.

Escher Wyss is the absolute best in turbines,

they offered me 300 francs a month.

I just can't turn 'em down.

Besides, you know what's

going on in Germany.

It's not a good time to be having a child.

- Stop it!

All right, all right, all right.

If you want to have your child then

we should just get married, right?

It looks like we have

landed in dinosaur country.

Don't let your imagination run away

with you, Herbert. It's just erosion.

It's true, you really don't dream.

Ladies and gentlemen,

I have some good news!

The captain has said it is safe and

you are welcome to sleep on the plane.

Everything all right?

Just dandy except I wish

you hadn't found me.

Oh, so do I.

Without our forced landing, I never

would have heard of Hannah again.

I wouldn't know today that I was a

father and Sabeth might still be alive.

I don't deny that it was more than

a coincidence, it was a whole...

train of coincidences.

But still within the laws of probability.

What's providence got to do with it?

Can't wait to get to New York City. They

gotta give us at least a week off after this.

Be sure and say hello to

Joachim for me and tell him...

Hannah got the man she deserved.

Too bad it didn't last. -Absolutely.

We must stay in touch.

I'm almost tempted to go with you, Herbert,

but I'm late in New York. -All right.

Good luck.

- Good luck.

You know, I was thinking... I mean

I've never really seen New York and

I thought maybe you could show

me around. What do you think?

Look uh... could you do me a favor?

Could you hang onto this bag for me?

I'll call you in a couple days in New York,

okay? I got your number right? I'll call ya.

Oh, and mail this, could you

mail this for me too? Thanks.

I'll call ya.

Hey Herbet! Hold on.

Thought maybe I'd come along

with you, if you don't mind?

I'd like to see him again after all this

time. -You Americans are amazing.

I wonder if uh...

Joachim will even recognize me.

It's been a while.

- We have all changed.

More than we care to admit.

Why'd they get divorced?

I don't know, really.

I think Hannah became a Communist.

That's as good a reason as any.

I couldn't understand myself.

I should've landed in New York a week ago.

Generally, I'm extremely conscientious

about professional matters.

Anyway, I've never intentionally

changed my route before.

You were right. We will never find him.

They say he's about an hour from town.

Salut!

Hannah.

Hannah!

She's pregnant.

Yeah, I know.

I thought that's what you wanted.

But not now. This is the wrong time to

be bringing babies into the world.

Do you see a way out of this?

It's not exactly why I studied medicine.

Here's to your brother.

Salut!

To your brother.

I have no idea why

Joachim ever came here.

The three game series is equal one a

piece after the Blue Jays scored back...

Good to have you back, Mr. Faber!

Good to be back, Henry. Real good.

Are you here to stay

or is it just a pit-stop?

Well... I think I'll put

up stakes for a while.

A young lady's up there waiting for you.

Ivy?

I guess so. The one with

the pink Studebaker.

Well, out of the jungle,

into the frying pan.

Adios Henry.

I'm coming.

Hi.

How'd you get in, honey?

- You gave me a key, don't you remember?

Here. Wait.

I couldn't just sit around,

knowing you were coming.

I've made a special dinner.

Lobster sauterne.

Something they wouldn't

do for you in Venezuela.

That's for sure.

Here.

I would've picked you

up at the airport but...

I thought it'd be much more

fun to surprise you here.

It's quite a surprise.

She'd gotten my letter from the desert.

She had it in black and white.

She... simply refused to believe me.

I think it's time you settled down, lover.

You can't keep on roving

around the world forever.

I'm ready, believe me.

Unfortunately, I gotta

go to Paris next week.

I thought you said we were gonna

have some real time together?

I had made plans for us to go to Montauk,

just the two of us. -Yeah, I know.

But uh... it's an important conference,

I just can't get out of it.

I'm important too.

Look honey, there's nothing I can do about

it. It's my work, you know that. -I know.

I'll go with you.

I've never been to Paris.

You got my letter. I mean,

you read the letter, right?

I can't believe you.

You never listen to me, everything is

different now. I told you I'm divorced.

Right.

I love Paris in the springtime.

I love Paris every day.

Monsieur.

To Paris.

Monsieur.

Look uh... honey. I gotta...

take a walk. I need some air. I've

been cooped up on planes for weeks.

You don't mind, do you?

I mean... we can meet later.

Lobster sauterne is good cold.

I had a week before

I had to fly to Paris.

I was looking forward to

New York, but not with Ivy.

Once again it was pure coincidence

that decided the future, I just...

happened to walk by a ship that

was sailing for France the next day.

I felt as though I was

starting a new life.

I had never made a sea voyage before.

I enjoyed being out of reach.

Excuse me.

You are sitting in my chair.

Oh, really?

Sorry.

- My name is on it.

Piper. You see?

Is that German?

- Yes.

Well, you speak pretty good English.

- I've always been told it's excellent.

Have you seen a book around here?

- A book?

No. Ah, there you go.

Here it is.

Must be an important book.

'The Stranger' by Camus.

Have you heard of it?

No.

That's amazing.

You haven't heard of Camus?

No, why? Should I have?

Sartre.

Have you heard of him?

Oh yeah. You mean the existentialist guy,

everybody wears black and drinks espresso?

You should give it a try.

Maybe I will.

My mother says everyone can

be moved by a work of art

except the intellectual philistine.

- Mr. Faber is an engineer.

He is not interested in creativity.

Don't speak for myself,

thank you very much.

To experience... eternity

takes a little bit more

than rational science.

Oh sh*t! Now we're gonna

talk about eternity?

I mean, excuse me, I'm sorry.

I... I'm a technologist.

You know, it's a very
