" No." "But this book starts with this very highfalutin' sexual dream thing, you know?" "Yeah, I hear everybody beats off when they read it." " I'm sorry." " You heard that?" "Go on." "This lovely, very neurotic woman goes into therapy with Freud himself, and he sort of cures her, so that she can go on to live for a while before being killed by the Nazis in a..." "lime pit."

"Let's get married." "OK." "OK." "This is the story, and I'm not making it up." "And it's not as sad as it sounds." "My parents separated when I was four." "I went to live with my grandparents, who are deceased now..." " I'm gonna make this brief." " Take your time." "We can go off to my place when you're done." "And everything worked out great for everybody." "It was amazing." "No, go on." "I'm four years old, I go to live with my grandparents, who both wound up having to go into nursing homes when I was 12 - they were both sick." "So I go to live with my mother, who by this time is remarried to Hank." "Very unhappy person, ridicules me in front of the other two children they have created from their unsavoury loins." "So I go to live with my father, also remarried, three other children." "Sophie, the new wife, hates me even more than Hank." " This is like Dickens." " The only nice thing Sophie ever did for me was make the same food twice when I made the mistake of saying I liked it." "Usually she would stop cooking whatever it was I said I liked." "What was it?" "What I liked?" "Spaetzles." "Oh, God." " You've had spaetzles?" " Oh, sure." "You like them?" "I love them." "You love spaetzles?" "Anyway..." " Everyone is unhappy now." " Uh-huh." "My father doesn't seem too fond of me - I'm not sure if he ever was, but..." "So one night I say I'm going to the movies, and instead I go to Europe." "What movie?" "The Wild Bunch, I think." "Why?" " Did you call them?" " Not until I got there." "And I called collect." " That is..." " Yeah." "Good for you." " So, why'd you ask me which movie?" " That is fabulous." " That's the story." " Oh, wow." " Then I came back when my dad died." " Somebody call about the ice machine?" " Tom." " Hm?" "This is Peter." " Hi." " How do you do?" " But I was only in the party for two months."

" Beter." " Mee op te eten." " Mee op te eten." " Om je beter mee op te eten." " Om je beter mee op te eten." "Great." "You've got a good ear." " Oh, good ear, clean teeth." " You do." " What'd I say?" " I can't tell you." "I knew you were gonna say that." "I knew it." "No, it's untranslatable." "I'm sure it is." "I'll tell you someday." "I will." "I promise." "When you're first getting to know someone and in that blissful, psychotic first flush of love, it seems like every aspect of their personality, their whole demeanour, the simple lovely twist of their ear lobes," "and their marvellous phone voice, and their soft, dark, wet... whatever, is somehow imbued with an extra push of colour, an intensity heretofore, you know... unknown." "You want a Molson?" " You drink Molson?" " Uh-huh." " In your own home?" " I've been known to." "So why can't you sleep?" "I wanna solve this." "I wasn't exaggerating." "It's been since I was 14." "Aha." "(# "Every Time We Say Goodbye" by Annie Lennox)" "That's a lot of journal-keeping." "# Every time #" "# We say good-bye #" "# I die a little #" "Have you seen doctors?" "I've seen all the doctors." "Every known persuasion." "And I've ingested countless pills, liquids..." "I've seen an acupuncturist." "You did?" "What did it feel like?" " Little needles in your back." " It hurt?" "Sometimes." "You're really beautiful." "You are." "Thank you." "That's, uh..." "Thank you." "What do you... do for a living?" "# There's no love song finer #" "# But how strange the change #" "# From major to minor #" "I make little... tiny transparent photographs of scientific articles which are rolled onto strips like microfilm, only smaller." "You'd..." "like it." "It's really interesting." "Do you see your family, your mom?" "No." "Sometimes?" "Never?" "Nope." " Call them?" " Nn-nn." "Do you miss them?" "What's your dirtiest fantasy?" "Excuse me?" "I thought you just said, what is my dirtiest fantasy?" "What?" "I can't." "I'm sorry." " Come on." " No." "What's yours, though?" "I'd be curious." "I asked you first." "Well, they change." "Sure." "What's one?" "Well..." "One." "Uh-huh." "Might be that someone..." "Uh-huh." "..might sort a just, you know... spontaneously start crawling across the floor on their hands and knees... and more or less... unzip me with their... teeth." "I'd do that." "Christ." "Happiness." " Are you?" " Uh-huh." "You are?" " It's like a drug." " It is a drug." " Sex?" " To snare us into mating." "I must be peaking, then." "No, the body manufactures it." "Like, epinephrine or something." "Did I detect a note of cynicism in your comment about mating?" "Oh." "No." " You don't like kids?" " No." " I love them." " But you don't wanna have them?" " No, I don't, but..." " Why not?" "I just don't." " Your career?" " What career?" "No, I think kids are great." "I..." "I just don't think it's fair to raise them in the world the way it is now." "Where else are you going to raise them?" "We're here." "Say." "Like the woman in The White Hotel, people really do struggle their whole lives just to die in lime pits." "And not just in books." "Women go blind from watching their children being murdered." "Not in this country they don't." "No, they get shot on the sidewalk in front of their houses in some drug war." "What happened to you - passed from one parent to the next..." "I survived." "I'll be lying in bed late at night, and I'll look at the light in the room, and I'll suddenly see it all go up in a blinding flash, in flames, and I'm the only one left alive." "And I can't look at you sitting there without imagining you... dying... bursting into flames." "No wonder you can't sleep." "The world is a really terrible place." "It's too... precarious." "And you want kids, obviously." "I wish I could say I did." "It's OK." "We saw each other every day for the next six weeks." "I'd stop by my apartment once in a while to see if the view out onto the air shaft had improved any, but all my clothes had found their way over to Rita's." "(# "Sweet Jane" by The Cowboy Junkies)" "I told my parents about you." "What did you tell them?" "I said that you were very considerate." "In what way?" "I said..." "Well, I mean, we talk very frankly about sex." "You and your parents?" "I said that you always brought protection." "You did not!" "And that you were very attentive to whether or not I had an orgasm." "This is such bullshit." "No, I said they should meet you." "What do you think?" "Protection(!" ")" "So are you free this weekend?" "Don't be nervous." "You told them about my family and everything?" " My mother." " She knows the story?" " All about me?" " Uh-huh." "Will you marry me?"

" That must be, uh..." "What kind of firm is it?" " Publishing." "What?" "!" "Don't belittle me in front of new people." " "Belittle"?" " Dad." "Please." ""What kind of publishing firm is it?", I was asking." "It's, uh, scientific publishing." "They publish scientific, uh... publishing things... journals." "I knew I knew that." " (Mrs Boyle giggles)" " You want a beer?" "Sure." " In the morning, Rita?" " Yes, Mother." "We've been drinking nonstop for weeks." "It's time you knew this about us." " I'll have one too, then." " Me too." "Bunch of lushes here, Rita." "You didn't tell me." "Oh, I can pull four wisdom teeth on a fifth of Stoli." " You can?" " He's teasing you." "Scien..." " What kind of scientific?" " Abstracting and indexing." "It's a service." " Like a database?" " It is a database." " Covering...?" " All kinds of fields." "Pretty much everything from energy to robotics - thank you - to medical articles." "So you... are the manager?" " Of the fiche department." " Microfiche?" " Right." " What is it?" "Microfiche." "It's like microfilm, only smaller." "Aha." "Little film." " All right." "We approve." " Daddy." " We're just playing with you." " Maybe now she'll get some sleep." "So... how long have you two been going out?" "Over a year now." "About that, yeah." "(imitates barking)" "(chuckles)" "That's my first bulldog." "OK..." "No." "No." "No." "Daddy, no!" "Please." "If he's gonna be in this family, he oughta see these guys." "You really should." "This monster I got when I was an undergraduate at Virginia." "See his little tail?" "(imitates barking)" "I stood in front of the mirror in their upstairs guest room looking out over the yard and the little tent and the food which had been catered." "I felt a certain kinship with these people... the caterers." "Don't look." "It's bad luck." "All right, I won't." "But wait - you don't believe in that, do you?" " You looked." " I won't look." "No, you've already cursed the first 14 years of our marriage." " I love you." " What about when I'm 100 years old" " with a moustache and yellow teeth?" " I'll still love you." " And I'm sagging down to here, and I'm bald?" " I'll love you all the more." "Sure?" "Yes, I promise." "Oh, can't we ask one of the boys in the neighbourhood to do that?" "I am one of the boys in the neighbourhood." "What do you mean?" " Let me get rid of these." " OK." "Are you gonna join the living?" "Hm?" " Well, hello." " Too late." "Sorry, all done." "You shoulda spoken sooner." "You going for a walk?" "See y'all in a bit." "Now, there's nothing to worry about." "This is a natural step in life's plan." "Uh-huh."

(hiccups)" " You wanna sit down?" " Blood rushing to the wrong place, I guess." "Are you dizzy?" "It's OK." "Just relax." "Here we go." "Now, just breathe for me." " Daddy?" " Oh, God."

"That I was imagining it all." "So how was our honeymoon?" "Oh, come on." "Does he know you know?" " He?" " She." "Whatever." "Yes." "He does." "I think maybe you should wait out in the hallway, in case he tries to... bolt." "Thanks." "Peter." " What's the matter?" "Where's Rita?" " I'm sorry about this, Peter." " Did something happen?" " You know I am." "You know I like you." "What do you mean, you're sorry?" "Rita's gone back to Lake Forest with her mother, Peter." "Why?" "I don't think you should come to the house or call for a while, until she calms down." "I went for a walk. "Calms down"?" "We brought both cars so I could get some of her things." "I'll be out of your way soon." "Wait a minute." "Marshall!" "I'm sorry for whatever personal turmoil you're going through, son." " Turmoil?" "What did she tell you?" " If you want me to refer you to someone..." "Rita says that you're suffering from delusions, Peter." "And I should tell you that she's talking about filing for a divorce or an annulment." "OK." "What sort of delusions did she say I was suffering?" "She says that you're convinced she's someone else." "Uh-huh." "Sure." "(laughs maniacally)" "I have to defer to her wishes." "I can't believe this!" "You're just going to take her word?" "It's difficult for me to believe, knowing Rita the way I do, that this is..." "You don't know her." "You don't know the first thing about her!" "That's the absurd part." "You don't even know your own flesh and blood!" "I'm sure you're right, Peter." "Rita was a communist." "Did you know that?" "She was in a communist or socialist party." "Here's something else you didn't know." "We didn't go out for a year, or anything like it." "You only see what you want to see." "And she's lying to you now, Dr Boyle." " Let me go, please." " She may know certain facts, but that's from reading Rita's journals." "Watch her." "Watch the way she sits." "Her eyes." "See a doctor, boy." "Watch the way she listens to everything we say." "It isn't her!" "The way she chews, for Christ's sake!" "I'd like to leave now." " Open your eyes!" " (door closes)" "Look, I'm not equipped for this." "I'm sorry." "I'm not attracted to you." "What, are you nuts?" "I don't think that's the issue here, Peter." "Have a seat." "Come on." " You're just..." " If I thought that you really were here, Rita..." "What's the name..." "OK, of the guy you went out with in high school?" "The one who wanted to run away with you." "If I can't remember, you can't either." " John." " Oh, Rita." "You're not imagining me." "This just does not happen." "Tell me about it." "All right." "Think." "Let me see his wallet, please." "May I?" "Thank you." " "Becker." Is he Dutch, do you know?" " Is it a Dutch name?" " You're the one that says you live there, Rita." " They don't speak Dutch." "I can't exactly ask." "I'm trying to keep a low profile in case they find out I'm really a girl, OK?" "(doorbell)" "Who is it?" " Hi, Mrs Blier." " Don't worry." "What?" "What's wrong?" "My name is Barry Sanford." "Your dad apparently walked up to a couple of young gentlemen..." " I got lost." " ..downtown, and asked them what city he was in, and they were kind enough to call us at the hot line." "But I'm home now, so..." "I work with the Madison Street crisis intervention centre." "We just wanted to make sure that he got home safe." "Come in, please." "I'm Leah." "This is my husband Jerry." " Larry Stanford." " Can I get you..." "No, no." " You sure?" " Yes, thanks." "You told me you were going for a walk." "Did you take the train again?" " I got lost, I told you." " But your dad's gonna be fine, Mrs Blier." " Why did you take the train?" " Please..." "Daddy?" " Did you wanna go somewhere?" " I'm going to lie down." "Don't wake me up." "You want me to go with you?" "You wanna lie down, I'll stay here." "This is how he gets." "Two weeks ago we had to go pick him up in Lake Forest." " Why?" "Did he know someone there?" " No." "Not that we're aware of." " He doesn't always get this way." "Lately..." " He just takes off." "Is your father involved in any activities that might bring him into the city?" "He isn't involved in anything." "We keep telling him to take an interest in life." "Is your father suffering from any mental or neurological disorders?" "He hasn't been himself since my mother died last fall." "He had to move in with us and..." " But this has been coming on for a while." " What has?" "(Leah) I can't put him in a home." " (Peter) Where was your father born?" " Amsterdam." "(Jerry) He doesn't seem to remember the exact year." "I'm not saying he can't stay here." "He struggled for so many years just to make ends meet." "Then when he was ready to retire - boom." "We'd just gotten my mother buried..." "We found out he has lung cancer a few weeks ago." "He always complains, so I didn't..." "I guess I didn't take it serious." "And cirrhosis he's had for years." "I can't put him away." "He doesn't even have a year to live." "You know?" "If you knew the man he used to be..." "He was a self-starter, a real fighter." " I'm sorry, Mrs Blier." "I..." " No, I..." "I think I left the gas on in the kitchen in the centre." "Well... should I call someone?" "No, no." "I'm so embarrassed." "The fire department?" " I apologise." " I'll drive you." "No." "I have a car." "It's just up the street." "I'll be fine, thanks." "I'll call." "So, what did she say?" "Nothing." " Am I sick?" " No." "This is me, Peter." "Remember?" "You have lung cancer and cirrhosis." "She said she thought you had a year to live." "Wow." "The next six days were the worst- and the strangest- of my life." "We moved back and forth from room to room." "We called her parents: no answer." "The next day, the same." "And the next." "I called Rita's Aunt Dorothy in Cincinnati." "She had no idea where they were and wanted to know why I didn't know." "I told her Rita and I had split up." "(old man Rita whispers) Trust me." "The car's gone." "Mom never turns the lights out, ever." "They're not here." "Then why are we whispering?" "Some suitcases are gone." "I miss your face." "How soft it was." "I miss it too." "Your hair was so great." "Oh, come on." "And your little white feet." "What?" "You don't like these?" "At night I could feel the loneliness coming off both of us like heat." "It was as if we'd been married forever, suddenly." "Without the sex." "Rita and I, meanwhile, kept up the pleasantries, the old married couple we'd become." "Time's up." "Rita?" "What?" "You know... if you think how we're born... and we go through all the struggle of growing up and learning the multiplication tables and the name for everything..." "The rules." "How not to get run over." "Braid your hair." "Pig Latin." "Just all the effort." "Then getting a job." "Probably something you don't even like, for not enough money, like tending bar." "And that's if you're lucky." "That's if you're... not born in Calcutta." "Or the US without money." "Then there's your marriage, having your own kids if..." "You know." "And they're going through the same struggle all over again." "Only worse, because... somebody's trying to sell them crack in the first grade by now." "And all this time you're paying taxes, your hair starts to fall out, and you're wearing six pairs of glasses, which you can never find." "And you can't recognise yourself in the mirror." "And if you live long enough you finally get to watch everybody die." "All your loved ones." "Your wife, your husband." "Your kids maybe." "And you're totally alone." "And as a final reward for all this, you disappear." "No one knows where." "I don't want you to die, Rita." "I don't want me to die either." "And I'm going to." "So are you." "But... we got to have this." "I mean... what a trip, meeting you" "and being in love." "Falling." "It was bitchin' for a while." "And OK, so this isn't such a turn-on, I admit, but..." " (softly) I adore you." " What?" "My hearing." "No, I'm serious." "I said you would have hated Jamaica." "Trust me." "Come on." "Call again." "I mean, he's always saying "Wow." "You have got to come to this club, the Aquamarine."" " Have you been there?" "No?" "You're kidding!" " (phone rings)" "It's pretty cool." "They've got all these different bars and huge fish tanks." "It's really pretty amazing." "I mean, you know, for about a minute." " Hello." " Marion, it's Peter." " I thought it might be you." " Where have you been?" " I've been worried." "How's Rita?" " She's terrible, Peter." "We took her to London." "She was so shook up, Marshall thought she needed a rest." "What happened between you two, Peter?" "If you don't want to tell me, you don't have to." "I guess I must have said something about her not being the same person." "But I would do anything to get Rita back." "I love her with all my heart and soul." "You can't come here, Peter." "If either of them knew I was talking to you, they'd have me shot." "What if..." "It's just a thought." "But what if you said that I was going away on business for a couple of weeks?" "Oh, I don't know, Peter." "And you said that she could stop by and pick up her things from storage in the basement." "All her old letters and diaries from her childhood." "And when you came by with her I'd be here and we could talk!" "(sighs)" " When would you want us?" " Any time." " I'm not promising." " I understand." " Monday?" " Monday's great!" " I'll try." "That's all I can do." " I understand." "Thank you." " What time?" " Any time." " Noon, say?" " Noon's great." "High noon." "High noon!" " Peter..." " Yes?" "What you said before, about Rita not being the same person?" "Uh-huh." "She may not be the picture of the woman you thought she was, but that's an image, Peter." "Just a picture." "Words." "That's life." "That's marriage." "But I know she loves you, and misses you." "I miss her too." "All right." "I'll see you Monday, then." " Thank you, Mom." " All right." " Bye." " Bye, now." "She'll try." "He keeps it clean." "Now, I want you to talk, Rita." "I want you both to talk, that's all." "You can do that much, since you took the trouble to marry him." "This was my idea, by the way." "How have you been?" " I wanted to come." " Really?" "I wouldn't have thought that." "But you're here, so..." "Can I get you something?" "It's been real lonely without you, Rita." "You, uh... went to London, your mom says." "How was it?" "OK, tie his feet!" "Rita, come on!" "Give me..." "Give..." "Goddammit!" "OK." "Gimme the knife." "Rita!" "Kiss him." "Go on!" "Rita?" "No, it didn't work." " Is it you?" " I don't know how it happened or what I did." " I'll kill you, I swear to God!" " Peter..." " How the hell did you do this?" " Put the knife down." " It's a trick, Rita." "Don't you know that much?" " He doesn't know." "Give it to me." " Are you here, Rita?" " Yes." "I'm right here." "Talk to me if you're here." "Please!" " Give me the knife." " I can't." "Then put it down." "All right?" "Just..." "Thank you." "Where did you go?" "I couldn't imagine what happened to you." "Watch him." "4320 Southeast Avenue." " How is Leah?" " I think she misses you." "She keeps making soup, and offering me another cup and another cup..." "Your mother..." "She isn't serious about the peanut butter and mayonnaise?" "Oh!" "She made you one?" "A sandwich?" " Stop this!" " I haven't had one since grade school." "I'd almost forgot how..." "Did you try one?" " Rita!" " They're really good!" "I've been over and over it so many times, you know?" "Exactly..." "Have you?" "Tried?" "I wanted it." "That's all I know." "I got on a train going nowhere, as far as I knew." "There you were: a wedding, young people starting a life." "I wished to God I was that bridegroom, starting out." "Or the bride, for that matter." "Look at the shine in those eyes." "You're kidding!" "I was totally freaked from the moment I woke up." "I was terrified." "I thought "If I could shine like the light of that girl over there," "I'd never take another drink."" ""I'd let my liver hang on another decade."" ""Stay out of the sun, eat right." "This time I would floss."" "I remember now." "Oh, God!" "I wanted to be you." "For one second of one day, what it would be like to just be..." " Yes!" " ..and not be afraid." " If I could just get inside..." " If I could get inside..." "I'll kiss the bride, be the bride." " My whole life would be behind me." " My whole life would be ahead of me again." " Look at her." "The soft arms, the white teeth." " That smell." " That sweet smell in her breath." " A man." "Not like something rotting coming up from your insides, but soft." " Like a father." " Like a baby." " And white." " An old man, with nothing... (together) nothing to lose." "(together) All you've got to do is want it bad enough." "My God!" "Rita?" "Like an old suit." "My wife and daughter had a bond." "I loved 'em both so much, I wanted to eat them alive." "Women make a life inside their body." "And that life comes out and holds onto them." "Clings to them." "Calls them up from school and says "I'm sick, Ma." "Come pick me up."" "That baby is theirs for life." "Don't you see?" "To be able to look back from their side of the bed... with their eyes... at last." "And you, my boy." "I tried to be patient." "I tried to be interested." "I called every hotel in Ocho Rios:" ""What the hell is a Long Island iced tea?"" "You're a sweet kid." "No hard feelings, but... you're not my type." "Please." "I don't know." "The idea of living forever..." "It's not so good." "And those parents of yours you can keep." "Thank you." "Do yourselves a favour." "Floss." "Oh, my God!" "My body!" "(laughs ecstatically)" "My body!" "There they are." "Look at those!" "Yes!" "Your hair." "I'm here." "I'm not afraid." "I know." "I'm not afraid." "Oh, I love you." "Give me a smile." "Je hebt erg witte tanden." "Je hebt erg witte tanden." "Oh...!" "I don't remember what I'm supposed to say, Peter." "I know I memorised it." "Om je beter mee op te eten!" "You promised you'd tell me." "What does it mean?" ""The better to eat you with."" "Never... never to be squandered, the miracle of another human being." " You're the miracle." " No, you are." "You." "You."
