just looking down at me.

And my throat just closed up.

Yeah.

That's what it was.

My throat just closed up.

Yeah. It's normal.

It's just terror.

Good night.

Night.

Good night.

Night.

[Folk Rock]

- [Man] Though the days are long

- What do you think?

- You look great.

- Yeah?

- Thank you.

- Twilight sings a song

Of a happiness that used to be

- Say bye-bye.

- Good luck, Will.

Bye.

Soon my eyes will close

Soon I'll find repose

And in dreams

you're always near to me

I'll see you in my dreams

[Giggling]

Hold you in my dreams

Someone took you out of my arms

Still I feel

The thrill of your charms

And I'll see you in my dreams

Aaron?

- [Chuckles]

- Oh, my gosh.

I can't believe this.

- Oh, what a surprise.

- [Chuckles]

- Come in. Come in. I'm sorry.

- Uh, you, uh- you, uh- you must be-

- Emma's mother. Miranda.

- Right.

I-I can't believe this. I'm so goofy,

I couldn't even introduce myself.

- Oh, well, I didn't.

- I must seem like a-

- Like a- I don't know what.

- No, no, no. Not at all.

- A goofy teenager or something.

- No. No, no.

Does she know-

Does she know you're here? Because, uh-

Em!

Does she? Because she

didn't say anything. Does she know?

- No. No, no. Actually, she doesn't.

- She doesn't know you're here.

- Well, that's even better.

- Yeah?

Honey, look.

[Chuckles] Can you believe?

Look who's arrived.

[Chuckles]

I forgive you.

Oh, is this when I'm supposed to say

I forgive you too?

Forgive me for what, Emma?

[Miranda] Oh!

No! Richard!

- [Richard] What just happened?

- Richard!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Mom.

I'll clean it up later.

[Richard] Miranda.

- What the heck's going on?

- I'm sorry.

What?

Uh, uh-

- [Knocking]

- Oh. Excuse me.

- Yeah.

- Oh, I wonder who that could be.

Yeah. What?

- [Richard] Who's there?

- Are you selling something?

- Miranda.

- No.

I'm sorry. We're having

a very busy moment here.

- C-Come back another time.

- Uh-

[Miranda Sighs Deeply]

Why don't-

Why don't you come into the kitchen.

- I'm sorry.

- Come into the kitchen.

[Out Of Breath]

[Miranda] Uh-

Well, why- Why don't-

Why don't you sit, Aaron.

Right.

Can I, uh- Can I get you something?

No. Thank you.

- You sure?

- Yes, yes.

Ah.

I'm just gonna clean up a little bit,

if you'll excuse me.

I'll be right-

[Out Of Breath]

[Sighs]

He told her he forgave her.

- For what?

- I don't know.

- Oh, for crying-

- Richard. Richard.

Forgive her for what?

- Mr. Twist.

- Forgive her for what?

I really think it's best

if it comes from Emma, sir.

[Groans]

Forgive her for what?

She cheated on me...

with a friend of mine.

Well, let's not share this

with her mother, okay?

- Okay.

- [Chuckles]

- Okay.

- [Chuckles]

- You okay?

- Uh, yeah.

[Chuckles]

[Hinges Creak]

[Miranda] Sweetheart,

I brought you some nice soup.

And Aaron called.

He-He wants me to tell you

that he's staying at the Colonial.

Okay? So that's where he is.

All right. Well, now you just rest.

I'll, uh- I'll leave

your soup by the door.

Sweetheart.

- I'm going out.

- Oh, that's wonderful.

- Did you have your soup?

- Yeah. Thank you.

Oh, good for you.

And so good to see you up.

Take- Take the Volvo if you want.

[Emma] No, I'm walking.

I just want to walk.

Oh. Okay. Well, have fun.

Um, yeah. Enjoy yourself.

"Enjoy yourself"? "Enjoy yourself"?

- [Laughing]

- Yes. Yes. "Enjoy yourself."

I mean, she could use some enjoyment.

Why is that not a good thing to say?

Enjoyment? What do you think? She's

gonna take a walk to the lollipop store?

Lollipop store? What lollipop store?

I don't even know what you're

talking about, lollipop store.

Well, that's refreshing.

Usually you have no idea that you

don't know what I'm talking about.

[Chuckles]

It could be me, Richard.

It could be me.

But couldn't it also be you?

I mean, the way you speak to me-

Honey, sweetheart, please.

You tell me what you mean

by the lollipop store.

And then I will try to respond.

I want to respond. I do.

I really want to talk

about our daughter.

I want to talk about Emma,

our little girl,

because I-

I think that it's killing- killing me.

I think that it's killing me

to see her like this.

Do you have any idea how unattractive

the expression on your face is right now?

I hate you.

Good.

You are so horrible to me.

Oh, that-a-girl. Now you're talkin'.

Huh? Now you're talkin'.

I wish you were dead. I do.

Oh. Miranda. Remember this.

- I want you to die.

- Oh!

I want you to die, 'cause I hate you!

- Okay!

- I do! I hate you!

Listen to this.

Hang on to this. Hang on.

- I hate you! I hate you!

- [Door Closes]

- Remember this!

- I hate you!

No! I hate you! I hate you.

Keep it up. Keep it up. You're strong.

- I hate you!

- That's strong. Hold on. Hold on.

- [Sobbing]

- Hold on. Hold on.

Don't lose it. Okay.

- All right. Shh.

- [Sobbing]

Okay. No, no, no.

Come on, come on, come on.

Oh, no, no, no.

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

- Oh, no.

It's okay. It's okay.

You need to be strong when I'm gone.

[Sobbing]

You're my girl.

You're my girl. You're my strong girl.

Do you have any idea...

how beautiful the expression

on your face is right now?

[Chuckles]

It's okay.

[Erratic Breathing]

Emma?

- Yeah?

- It's-

It's Will.

Willie?

Oh, my goodness. Hi.

Wow! Hey.

- Hi.

- Hey.

[Both Chuckling]

Will Donner.

Um- How-

I- I was- I was just walking,

and I just saw you.

This is really something. How are you?

- I know. I- I'm good. I'm really good.

- How are- How are you?

I'm fine. Doing fine.

I-

- Weird. I don't know.

- I know. I know.

Gosh. Look at you. Whiskers.

Look at you. Breasts.

[Laughing]

Yeah.

So, what? Do you-

you live here now? Did you move here?

- I'm here. I'm always here.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

- Well, what?

Did you just move back, or-

No.

- You're just visiting?

- Yeah.

Yeah. I'm just visiting.

What's it been? Like years and years.

It's been forever.

It was the end of summer.

I was visiting Joey, remember?

It was all muggy and hot out,

and then we went swimming,

but you hsd to go to your dance lesson.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Joey-

I haven't thought about him in so long.

Hey. Emma.

- Yeah?

- Uh-

Do you want to go sit somewhere?

Oh, Willie, I can't.

I'm meeting somebody.

I'm really happy to see you though.

You look really great.

Thanks.

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

But I- I would also say you look like

you've been through the wringer.

Do you want to walk

with me for a little?

- Sure.

- Okay.

[Door Closes]

- Hey, Jimbo. Is my brother around?

- Uh, he's not actually.

Uh, you know, today's the big day.

Didn't you know that?

- Know what?

- He finally went to Emma's.

No, no. See? See, this is the thing.

- What thing?

- He's sick. All right?

And somebody's gotta do something. Okay?

Somebody's gotta step in.

- What are you talking about, he's sick?

- Just look at him.

Who is he talking to half of the time?

Jimmy, you know exactly

who he's talking to.
