What Dreams May Come Page #5

You say your paintings|are missing.

Some of my most precious panels.

The ones that remind me.

Remind me of my husband|and my children.

That's why I never leave.

Because they might return?

I hope that's true|with all my heart.

It's not, you know.

When you're dead, you disappear.

My wife committed suicide|after our children died.

After I...

She was the loveliest person.

Don't you think that's sad?

- Don't you have to leave?|- No.

- But if you want me to go...|- I do.

The last day I saw my wife|it was our anniversary.

- Aren't you leaving?|- In a minute.

I was sticking around in case|there was another problem.

It wasn't a wedding anniversary.

It was a very|special kind of day...

..no one else knows about.

[Annie humming]

[Chris] I need to talk to you.

And you don't have to respond.

This is a one-way ticket...|for me.

My hanging around here|is not helping you.

And it's killing me.

Today is kind of a D-Day.

"D" for decision, I guess.

About divorce.

That'd be two D's,|wouldn't it?

I stand corrected.

Look what happens when you|don't say anything for a month.

Cindy called.

She said|everything is waiting for you.

The artists and curators will|see you when you're better.

And I told her...

it was the museum|and one of those meetings

that kept you|from driving that day.

And if you went back,|it'd mean you weren't sorry,

you weren't wrong and you'd|be betraying your children.

She called you crazy|and I called her a b*tch!

And I hung up!|That didn't go very well!

What's true in our minds|is true.

Whether some people|know it or not.

That's when I realised|I'm part of the problem.

Not because I remind you.

But because I couldn't join you.

So I left you alone.

Don't give up, OK?

OK.

OK.

It's OK.

[Annie] So you reconciled.

That's very romantic.

She still killed herself.

- She gave up.|- There's nothing wrong with it.

- Her husband thought so.|- He was a coward!

Being strong, not giving up...

that was his place to hide.

He pushed away the pain so hard,

he disconnected himself from|the person he loved the most.

Sometimes,|when you win, you lose.

When he saw|his children again...

I thought|your children were dead.

You can see the dead.|In your dreams.

If you want to.

I wanna see Christy.

I can show you.|It's not hard.

All you have to do...|it's like painting a picture.

We do it together.

Just close your eyes. (Please.)

(Don't be afraid.)

Remember where you were married?

Christy!

Christy...

Who else would you|be marrying in your dreams?

[Annie] I missed you.

Annie...

This is real.

The man in the garden.

It's me.

No!

No!

Whoever you are,

did you think|you could take him from me?

I'm sorry, babe.

There's some things|I have to say.

I've only got|a few moments left.

I'm sorry for all the things|I'll never give you.

I'll never buy you another|meatball sub with extra sauce.

And always the big one.

I'll never make you smile.

I just wanted us|to be old together.

Two old farts laughing at each|other as our bodies fell apart.

Together at the end.

By that lake in your painting.

That was our heaven, see?

There's lots of things to miss.

Books...naps...

kisses...and fights.

Oh, God, we had|some great ones!

(Thank you for those.)

Thank you for every kindness.

Thank you for our children.

For the first time I saw them.

Thank you for being someone|I was always proud to be with.

For your guts,

for your sweetness.

For how you always looked,

for how I always wanted|to touch you.

God, you were my life.

I apologise for every time|I failed you.

Especially this one.

- Didn't you think I'd make it?|- You were in there a while.

Took me a while to realise|you were right.

Nothing you can do|could help her.

This trip was for you.

- Did you come close...|- ..to losing it?

Oh, yeah.

Pushed it right to the edge.

That's why|I had to come out now.

I'm giving up.

Not the way you think.

Go home, Al.

Will you tell my children|I love them?

And I won't leave their mother.

(Thanks.)

Where are we headed?

In one minute I won't know you|any better than you'll know me.

But we'll be together.

Where we belong.

Good people go to hell because|they can't forgive themselves.

I know I can't.

But I can forgive you.

For killing my children?

And my sweet husband?

(No.)

For being so wonderful, a guy|would choose hell over heaven,

just to hang around you.

Not because I remind you...

but because I couldn't join you.

Sorry I left you alone.

Don't give up, OK?

Christy?

Christy.

What happened to this place?

It's cold.

Christy?

God, no! No, no, no, no!

Don't give up!|Don't give up! Christy!

Don't give up!|Don't, don't give up!

Christy!

[Fading] Stay with me,|don't give up...

[Annie] Christy!

Hey!

Remember me?

Sometimes, when you lose...

you win.

How did we get here?

Travel here|is like everything else.

It's in your mind.

You only have to|close your eyes.

If you know|where you're going...

Looks like we did.

Where you were...

I tried everything.|Nothing worked.

Until...

you tried trailing me.

What some folks|call impossible...

is what|they haven't seen before.

Excuse me, lady.

Ready for that surprise|I promised?

Yeah.

That's not the surprise!

Mommy?

[Annie] I want us|to grow old together.

Can we do that here?

Mm-hm.

I want it all.|As long as it's with you.

It will be.

But what about going back?

Being reborn?

That's the one thing|we can't have here.

Finding each other|all over again.

Falling in love.

Make different choices.

- Try again.|- Yeah.

Avoid sharp objects.

Don't worry about the kids.|They'll be here.

They want us to go.

A human life|is just a heartbeat here.

And we'll all be together.|Forever.

How will I find you?

I found you in hell.|I'll find you in Jersey.

'When I was young... I met this|beautiful girl by a lake.'

# We follow the river

# We follow the river

# Down into the stream

# That's where my dream began

# I left my worries

# To the people who stare

# And dreamed without a care

# That I'd always be beside you

# To watch the day and night

# And we'll listen|to the sunrise

# And feel its glowing light

# And peace will come inside

# So quiet

# Wherever we're going

# I don't know

# For a million years|our love keeps growin'

# The mystery deepens

# Day by day

# But trust my love|and hear me say

# That I'll always be beside you

# To watch the day and night

# And we'll listen|to the sunrise

# And feel it's glowing light

# And peace will come inside

# So quiet

# Peace will come inside

# So quiet

# Yes, I'll always be beside you

# To watch the day and night

# And we'll listen|to the sunrise

# And feel its glowing light

# And peace will come inside

# So quiet

# Yes, peace will come inside

# So quiet #
