Original subtitles

Jody, time to go.

Aren't you excited?

Get his bag.

Thanks for your help, sister.

There you go, son.

- See you. - Bye.

Goodbye, dear.

Say thank you to sister.

Thank you, sister.

- Let me get one more shot. - Thank you.

- Okay. - Bye-bye.

Goodbye, dear.

One day, the great king of the silver baboons

came down from a peak high on a mountaintop in Kilimanjaro

and caught your father stealing his treasure

from a deep, dark cave

from which enchanted rubies spilled out down the mountainside.

After a great battle with the baboon king,

your father was very badly wounded and left to die.

But when the baboon king found out that your father wanted the enchanted rubies

to cure his son...

Sister, Adam's not breathing!

Children, children, move to the side.

- Adam! - Is he okay?

- Adam! - Is he dead?

- Did he hurt his head? - I don't know.

They just said he wasn't breathing.

Well, he's breathing now.

- Call Sister Kathryn. - I will.

Adam.

Adam.

Don't give up on us. Don't you give up, child.

Adam.

Don't you break our hearts.

Adam. I've tried so hard with you.

That poor little heart of yours.

I don't know what else to do.

Oh, Adam.

Caroline.

Caroline?

Yeah. What do you want?

I can't do anything right now. What do you need?

Aren't you going to get something to eat?

Later.

I am sitting in the morning

At the diner on the corner

I am waiting at the counter

For the man to pour the coffee

And he fills it only halfway

And before I even argue

He is looking out the window

At somebody coming in

"It is always nice to see you"

Says the man behind the counter

To the woman who has come in

She is shaking her umbrella

And I look the other way

As they are kissing their hellos

And I'm pretending not to see them

And instead I pour the milk

- Hi. - Hi.

- I missed you. - You missed me?

Since what, yesterday?

Yeah. Why not?

Aren't we going?

Yeah.

Is anything wrong?

No.

What do you want to do?

I thought we were going to the game.

What's the matter?

Steven?

You want to just go some other time?

You don't want to see me anymore.

No. I didn't say that.

It's just... I don't know.

Maybe we should just start seeing other people.

This always happens to me.

Why does this always happen to me?

I let myself get involved, I wind up getting hurt.

Caroline.

What did I do that was so wrong?

Caroline, don't say that. You didn't do anything wrong.

It's me. I just...

I don't know. It's...

- Come here. - No.

Caroline, come here.

Come on.

Don't cry.

Don't leave me.

I'm going inside.

Why don't I call you later?

No. Don't. Just leave me alone.

Caroline, I didn't mean to hurt you.

Yeah.

Well, you did.

Did he tell you why?

No. He just said we should start seeing other people.

He's a jerk.

He could've at least told you why.

Forget it. I don't feel like talking about it anymore.

Talk about what?

Steven broke up with Caroline today.

Steve. Which one was Steve? The one with the fig tree in his yard?

No. That was Jackie. Steven was the one that had the sick mother.

No. That was Bob.

And his mother got better and that's when he dumped me.

So, Jackie's the one with the fig tree?

No. That was Mike.

Mike.

I'm going to call him.

Caroline, don't you dare.

My God, the guy broke up with you.

You've got to let him call you.

Anyway, this guy is a jerk, okay?

You watch.

I bet he's going to come crawling back on his knees, saying,

"Oh, Caroline, I miss you. I want you back."

Yeah. Like they all do.

Caroline, you're too good to these jerks.

You got to learn to put your foot down. You got too good a heart.

As long as you let them walk all over you, that's what they'll do.

What scares me

is when someone as screwed-up as these guys are doesn't want me.

Come on, ladies, we're getting busy now.

You're taking too many breaks. Let's go. Come on.

- Just sat down. - Come on.

What is he whistling at us, like we're dogs?

Does he ever go home?

All right. I'm going.

I'm going!

I'll see you tomorrow night.

Working tomorrow night, hon?

Yep, I'll be here.

Okay. Well, you know what? Walk safely home, okay?

There's a lot of crazies out there.

I'll see you later.

Caroline?

He's a jerk.

Right from the start

From the start

Adam, clean up on table seven.

Adam.

Adam!

Something that's inside

Just a little girl

A little girl

Who still loves you

Here they come, you guys.

- Hey, Chip, congratulations. - Thanks, buddy.

- Hey, Jody. How's your dad? - Hi. How are you?

Come on in. Come on in.

There's cake, ice cream, champagne. Make yourselves at home.

- John, where the hell is my tuna melt? - I'm working on it.

Yeah, well, you're going to have to work a little harder

'cause this guy's having a heart attack over here.

Think you can send Adam over to table five?

- Okay. - Thank you.

Okay. Great.

No, no, wait. That's Cindy's tuna melt.

It's all right.

Hello.

Finally.

Here you are.

- Caroline? - Here you are.

Yes?

- Where's Adam? - I don't know.

Well, go back and find him. Tell him to get his butt out here. I need him.

Hey, don't cut the cake yet. Let me get a picture.

- Hey, Caroline. - Not now.

Adam, you cut yourself.

Let me see.

Oh, my God, this is pretty deep. You might need stitches.

Hold it like this. I'll put a bandage on it.

You... Keep it up because...

You know what? Let me wash it off first. Come with me.

I want to rinse it off.

If it doesn't stop bleeding, then...

Well, maybe Jim can take you over to the hospital.

Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.

What do you have all over your hands?

Is it syrup or...

Sap.

You work over in that Christmas tree lot during the day, don't you?

Yeah, yeah, I've seen you there

hauling trees, once or twice.

You smell like a pine tree.

Like a Christmas tree.

Maybe I'll stick a star on your head, huh?

Just kidding.

I used to love the way our Christmas tree smelled when we were little.

Brings back memories, you know, when life was simple.

Now my parents put up this stupid artificial tree. It's all fake.

Just not the same, you know?

You just don't talk much, do you?

Don't worry. I'm not going to make you talk to me.

Could I have a waitress out here, please?

You'll live.

I got to get back to work.

Thanks.

Come on. Give me my cigs.

Why don't you go over there and handle it?

You can do it.

Hey. Hey. How'd you like to pay for that machine?

It just stole my damn quarter, sweetheart.

Yeah, well, that's 'cause guys like you pound on it all the time.

Yeah? What's it matter to you? It ain't your machine.

As a matter of fact it is, so don't hit it anymore.

- Thank you. - This your diner?

No. Just my machine. Just wait.

It happens to be a very good investment once it's all paid off.

Now, what brand?

Marlboro.

Lights.

100s, please.

- Here. - That's great.

You have a problem with it, come to me next time.

We will.

How'd you like to feel that, huh?

She'd make a meal out of you.

You know her?

Don't you remember who that is?

No, who is she?

Well, just wait. You'll see.

Hello. Do you fellows know what you want?

Yes, we do. We would like to have Caroline wait on us, if you don't mind, because,

well, we're going to tip you both.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Switch with me.

Those two guys in there, they're asking for Caroline.

Great.

That's for Bill.

- Ready to order? - Yeah. Hi.

So, have you been to any parties lately, Caroline?

Do I know you?

Well, I tell you, I know you.

Dean Alabanasi's Fourth of July party, in the basement, Sloe Gin Fizzes?

Yeah. How's it going?

Well, you know. It's going.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now I remember. God, that was embarrassing.

Good memory.

It's my pleasure.

Must have been barfing up stuff your grandmother ate that night.

I'm not an ogre that lives under the cigarette machine.

No, Caroline. Forget it, all right?

Because we all are just people here. You know? Okay.

We're not so bad.

My name's Howard, you know, in case you've forgotten.

- This here, this is Patsy. - Hi.

- Cigarette? - No.

Oh, yeah. Okay.

I tell you what, I'm going to have a cheeseburger deluxe,

and I'll get that medium rare.

And she's yelling at the top of her lungs,

"You mother-effing, lousy, filthy pig.

"Your mother's a slut, and your father's a ho."

All of this right in front of the Sons of Italy hall.

This girl... No class.

You got a light?

I mean, he met her at a stop light.

You know?

She looks like Pete Rose.

You going to commiserate all night again, ladies?

You are like wet sand in my underwear.

Anyways,

did you call him?

No.

Really?

That's good. That's real good.

Here.

Finish my cig for me.

I got to grab this guy before he stiffs me.

Talk to you later.

Why don't you just pay me now, so we don't have to worry about it later?

Blue moon

You saw me standing alone

Without a dream in my heart

Without a love of my own

Hey, honey!

Hey, Caroline!

God, you scared the shit out of me.

Sorry.

You always drive like that?

I'm really sorry.

No more tables?

Got any burgers?

This what you guys do at 4:00 in the morning?

Here. Warm you up.

Come on, Caroline. Get inside the car.

No, thanks.

Come on. Hang out with us.

We've been kicked out of every damn bar in Minneapolis.

No. I'm going home.

- Home? - Yes.

I'm going home. It's late.

Late? Jesus, this is early for us.

Be careful!

Hey, Caroline, hang on a second.

Do you mind if we walk with you?

I'm all right.

Come on. It's late out. Pretty girl like you.

No. Really. I'm all right. Good night.

Hey, listen. I got a question I want to ask you.

How much can we get one of those cigarette machines for?

Because Patsy and me, we was thinking of, you know, getting one.

Yeah.

I think you can get one for about $1,500 used.

That's what we paid.

- Oh, yeah, really? - Yeah.

$1,500, huh?

Come on. Take a shot.

No, I'm really tired. I worked all night. I got to get home.

Come on. We ain't going to bite you.

Hey, you ain't scared of us, are you?

No, I'm just tired.

Oh, yeah. That's right, because you worked all night, right?

Hey, Caroline, do you like to fuck?

Is this yours?

Just leave me alone.

Here. Take it. Go on, take it.

No?

You forgot something.

Caroline, hey, where'd you go off to, honey?

I got your hat. It's right here!

Hey, maybe she wants the cherry brandy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Caroline!

Here. Here. Go up that way. Go that way. Go find her.

Caroline, honey.

Come on. Hey, come on.

It's okay. It's okay. Calm down.

- Come on. It's okay. - No!

Oh, God! Jesus! My nose.

Jesus! God!

Where you going? Trying to get away from Howard?

How-man, look who I found.

I think you broke my nose.

Good!

I'm sorry. What? I...

Good.

Good?

I'll show you good.

Hey.

Caroline, tell me something.

Did you really think that you were better than me?

Did you?

- No! - Hey? Okay?

How-man, what are you doing?

Patsy, I'm quieting her down.

Here, give me your hand.

See, Caroline? See that?

I hurt.

Hey. Quiet. Patsy, get her to be quiet.

She bit me!

Damn!

- Shut up. - No!

- Come on. Yeah. - No!

Baby, yeah.

Shut up!

Take it easy, Howard.

Shut up. Shut up! Shut up, Caroline!

Hell, man. Jesus, Howard, what the hell are we doing?

See, what I like to do is take a little pork rind

and smear that on my lure.

Sure. You know, I would recommend the rat-lipped jig.

Well, the problem with a rat-lipped jig

is that it sometimes catches on, you know, underwater growth and stuff.

Well, I know, but...

Oh, come on. Try it.

Hey, Cindy, where's Caroline again today?

She called in sick.

Called in sick? That's every day this week. She okay?

She called in sick. If she's sick, she's sick. What can I tell you?

- Anything serious? - Yeah.

She's sick of work.

Wasn't this a private conversation between you and me, Bill?

Don't worry about it. I mean, I think she got the flu or something, you know.

She'll be in tomorrow.

Hey. Here you go. Merry Christmas.

What would you like for Christmas?

- A doll house. - Okay. Good.

We'll see you Christmas morning, huh? Merry Christmas.

Hi, there. What would you like?

Okay. I'll see you later.

Michael, don't forget. Pick me up at 2:00.

2:00 a.m.?

Yeah.

I have to get up for school in the morning.

Michael, you wanted the car tonight.

- Don't make me wake up Daddy... - Bye.

...because I'll kill you.

Hey, Caroline.

Welcome back.

Thanks.

Hey, Caroline. Where you been?

Been out.

Hey, you missed all the action here last night.

Oh, yeah? What did I miss?

You remember Bobby Las vegas, don't you?

With the motorcycle?

Yeah, except he don't ride the motorcycle no more.

Yeah? What happened?

He slid on a dead squirrel going around a turn over by Frogtown.

- Demolished the bike. - Jesus.

He was in here last night.

Yeah. He got drunk as a dog down the street.

He tried to run through the Lowry Hill Tunnel,

except he passed out halfway through because of the car fumes.

So they brought him in here.

He was in the bathroom throwing up all night.

Yeah, I'm really sorry I missed that.

Yeah, only Bobby, huh?

So, Caroline, those two guys, you know?

The ones that were bothering with the machine the other night last week.

Yeah?

Well, Jim seen one of them over at St. vincent's.

Oh, yeah. I went down there to see my cousin Lucy.

Remember, she had that thing with her wrist?

Yeah, they had to operate.

Anyway, I see him out in the hallway. Man, was he worked.

His face was a mess. Black eyes, bumps, bruises.

Looked like he was hit by a dump truck.

I got to pick up Lucy on Tuesday.

Come here.

You've been following me home?

How do you know where I live?

Have you?

Well? Have you?

How's your hand?

Thank you.

I know.

That's as scared as I've ever been in my whole life.

I get squirrels in my stomach thinking about it.

Guess I don't have to worry about you telling anybody, huh?

It's kind of a real awkward thing for a girl.

Well...

Don't take this the wrong way, but thank you.

I follow you home.

You follow me home?

I...

What?

I wasn't finished.

Finish.

I follow you home

on your walk to

make sure you're

safe.

I've never seen you.

I stay pretty far behind.

I'm sorry.

Well...

I mean, don't be sorry. I just...

I wasn't finished.

Finish.

I'm sorry that

I was late

that night.

I don't think I ever heard you speak and when you do,

you apologize to me for saving me against...

Oh, God knows what could have happened.

Why should I be surprised, right?

My life is like watching The Three Stooges in Spanish.

Either I'm being dumped, or I'm being attacked.

Don't hit the machine.

I'm sorry. I don't even know what I'm saying anymore.

I'll talk to you about this later.

And I brought your coat back.

Bad, bad boys

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah

Bad, bad boys

Come with me, come with me

Bad, bad boys

Come with me, come with me

I feel positive

This time I want to go away

You sure you're all right to come back to work, hon?

Been looking a little puffy these days.

You sure it was the flu and not something else?

I'm all right.

Just checking.

What do you think about Adam?

I think he's very weird.

Yeah. Wonder what he thinks about.

I don't think Adam actually thinks.

I mean, we're talking about a man who hasn't spoken.

So?

So...

You don't find that a little weird?

Look at him.

He looks like a tumor sitting over there.

And his hair. Oh, God! It just bothers me so much.

You know, Lottie says that he has ape parts in him or something like that.

I don't know.

My God. Lottie?

What a story.

Well, whatever.

Too bad, though.

He is kind of cute.

I'd do him, if he just wasn't so dumb.

Yeah

Yeah

So, what are you doing for Christmas?

The usual.

Grandparents coming over,

sitting in front of the Tv, looking at the stupid tree,

giving me $10, asking me where my boyfriend is.

Oh, hon.

You know, it's all right to feel shitty this time of year.

You know, everybody does.

It's like, this is life.

And when you go through it long enough,

you know what the flavor is,

and it sure ain't vanilla.

Yeah

Yeah

Bad, bad boys

Why don't you come over for Christmas?

You know, my dad, he's always saying, "What's wrong with Caroline?

"She misses us or what, or she hates us?"

We'll see.

We'll see, huh? We'll see.

You know, I knew you were going to say that.

Just forget the whole thing. You know, just forget it.

You got a problem.

You really got to learn to follow through with things.

I mean, you never finish anything you start.

I finish.

Oh, yeah? Did you finish beauty school?

I got a practical exam in two weeks.

Yeah? And what about the flower shop?

What happened to the opening?

You know what, Caroline?

Let me give you your first lesson.

Why don't you finish this, cousin?

Bitch.

Wench.

Slut.

Douche bag.

You better go do your sugars before I sic Jim on you.

Jim!

Jim! Caroline's screwing off again!

Jim!

Hi.

Can always measure your tips by your sugar jars.

Come 3:00 a.m., I see empty sugar jars,

I know I've got good tips.

You like hockey?

Ever been to a game?

No.

Maybe we could go to a game sometime.

You took my bandage off.

It's okay.

It's okay. It's okay.

Bye.

Three and a half. I thought that food was creative.

I like their roasted dishes. I liked their Italian.

That tiramisu or whatever it is.

Tiramisu. Yeah.

If my brother ever shows up, tell him I'm going to kill him.

If you look up long enough, you'll see a shooting star.

They're not really stars.

They're meteors, actually.

Really?

Falling to the Earth.

You can see them good from this bridge.

There's the Big Dipper.

There's the North Star and venus.

Come on. I want to show you something.

All right.

What's this?

It's okay.

This is where I live.

This is my dog.

Hi. Hi.

Good dog.

What's her name?

I don't know. He never told me.

You know, I don't mean to be rude to you in your own place or anything,

but you are a little strange sometimes.

Would you like some ice cream?

Ice cream?

No, I... No.

You read all these books?

I don't sleep very well.

Got a cozy little apartment.

You...

This is from last New Year's Eve.

Did you take this from behind the counter at work?

I better get going home.

Thanks for everything.

Well, tomorrow's Christmas Eve, and I don't work the day after that, so...

Merry Christmas.

What?

Christmas always comes

This time of the year

Little girls

And little boys

Dream of worlds

Full of toys

This time of the year

When Christmas is near

Evergreens

Are snowy white

Sleigh bells ring

What the hell happened to my tree?

Through the night

Michael! Caroline!

This time of the year

Caroline!

When Christmas is near

And somewhere

Near a steeple

People kneel and pray

And choirs sing

Carols of Christmas Day

Santa Claus

Is on his way

Loads of joy

Adam!

It's Caroline!

This time of year

When Christmas...

I brought you some cookies. I made them.

Did you have a nice Christmas yesterday?

Can I come in?

Great weather. What do you think?

Would you like some ice cream?

You're on the ice cream, aren't you?

No, thanks.

Well, I guess the cookies are a little on the sugary side.

So...

You were all alone for Christmas. I should have stopped over yesterday.

I should have invited you over.

But...

Guess you were already there.

Thank you for the tree. It's so beautiful.

It really made my day that you remembered.

Did I come at a bad time? Do you want me to go?

No.

Okay. Then I'll stay.

I'm not even going to ask how you got into our house.

Do you like music, Caroline?

I never heard you say my name before. It sounded nice.

Would you like to see my records, Caroline? Caroline?

Sure.

Wow.

They look really old.

They're magic.

Yeah, magic.

What kind of magic do they do?

In the orphanage, Mother Camilla used to play them for me.

I used to sit in the sunlight near the window in her office,

and I'd fall asleep to them.

She gave them to me when I left.

Whenever my life doesn't agree with me,

I lie down and I play these records,

and the rain stops falling.

Would you like to hear one?

You must have loved her a lot,

Mother Camilla.

She's the one that told me about my heart.

What about your heart?

I was a very sick baby.

My heart was very weak.

My mother, she died when I was born.

She died in the jungle where she and my father were living.

In the jungle?

My father was a great adventurer.

One day,

the great king of the silver baboons

came down from his peak high in the mountaintops of Kilimanjaro.

He caught my father stealing his treasure

from out of a deep, dark cave at the very bottom,

where magic rubies trickled down from the top of the mountain.

After a terrible battle with the baboon king,

my father was wounded and left to die.

And the great king later learned that my father

needed the enchanted rubies to heal his son with a dying heart.

He was so overwhelmed with guilt and shame at what he had done

that he took his own beating heart, right from his mighty baboon chest

and placed it in mine.

Mother Camilla told you all this?

And you believe her?

And you tell this to people?

Oh, no.

It's a nice story.

It stopped raining.

Magic records and a baboon heart.

You almost got me believing in it.

How'd you like me to cut your hair?

It's okay. No one's home.

Mind if I ask who cuts this thing?

I do.

I see.

Mind if I ask something else?

Ouch.

Sorry.

Did you ever think of doing anything else with your life besides busboy?

I mean, you must have had an education at the orphanage.

I'm not very good with people.

Don't let people stand in your way.

They're only people just like you and me.

Well, maybe not like you.

I don't know if I've ever met anyone like you.

The first I can remember, I was four years old...

And?

I wasn't allowed any physical contact

or even allowed to go out in public.

Why?

My health was still poor.

Just the risk of infection.

People were so used to staying away from me that they always stayed away.

I never got close to people.

Jeez, that's got to be hard on a kid.

Not being held or being allowed to hold anyone.

Well, what does your father do?

Actually, my stepdad.

Step to the rear.

He's a bus driver.

MTC between Minneapolis and St. Paul.

A real good guy.

You should meet him sometime.

He was on Candid Camera once. They locked him in a closet.

He was really great about it.

My real dad is like oil and vinegar with everybody.

He just don't mix.

Cindy says screw him.

Well, first guy to walk out of my life. Certainly not the last.

Weird, huh?

You're always staying away from love. I'm always chasing love.

Weird.

Come on.

Come on.

Here.

Are you crying?

Okay.

It's okay.

I'm going to fall in love with you.

You don't have to love me back.

I'm going to give you my heart.

Okay.

Okay.

My parents are having a New Year's Eve party.

My brother will be there

with whoever might be his girlfriend at that moment.

Do you want to come?

You don't have to come as my boyfriend or anything like that.

Though I'd like you to.

Is that a yes?

Yes.

Yes?

- Say yes again. - Yes.

Yes?

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Nice kitty.

Nice kitty.

Bye.

Adam.

What are you doing out here?

When did you get here?

10:00.

10:00?

That was almost two hours ago.

You'd rather be out here with my cat than inside with...

With a roomful of strangers and relatives?

Adam.

"Star light, star bright First star I see tonight

"I wish I may, I wish I might Have this wish, I wish tonight"

That's Mars.

What?

That's Mars.

You just wished on a planet.

- Five, four, three, two, one... - Figures.

Happy New Year!

Should auld acquaintance be forgot...

You can kiss me.

More.

I'm going to get a soda!

You know Nick's friend, Ronnie? He's a cop?

No.

Yes, you do.

He's the one that has the sister that bought the house down by North Shore?

I never met him, though.

Anyway, look.

I want you to double with us, okay?

We're going to The Fountain. You know, go dancing. Have some fun.

You should come.

I don't think I can.

Why not?

Well, I'm sort of seeing somebody.

Yeah? You are?

Who?

Come on, you little shit, tell me who!

Forget it.

It's Adam.

Adam who?

Adam from work.

Adam?

And you're just telling me this shit now?

You freakin' liar.

I'm not lying. It's Adam.

Why?

'Cause I got to know him.

And we make sense.

What do you mean, you make sense?

He doesn't make sense. I don't make sense. Together, we make sense.

So...

Tell me what he's like.

I mean, does he actually speak?

Did you meet his family yet? I mean, what's up with this?

Yeah, he speaks.

No, I haven't met his family.

He's an orphan.

Really? No shit? I never met a real orphan before.

Yeah.

He's a lot smarter than people think.

He reads a lot, got a lot of books.

He's really into his music.

Really?

He's really sweet.

He's like a kid, but it's nice.

He's got... He thinks he's got...

He thinks he's got a baboon's heart.

You see, Caroline? You see?

I told you this man had ape parts in him.

I told you!

He doesn't have ape parts in him.

It's just a story one of those nuns at that orphanage

told a scared little boy who didn't know why he was...

He's got some kind of heart problem.

But Adam?

You know, you don't have to sell yourself short either, you know.

Well, there's something you don't know.

What?

You know, when I was out sick?

Yeah.

On the way home in the park one night, two guys tried to rape me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Caroline, are you okay?

Yeah. Someone stopped them. It was Adam. He saved me.

Why didn't you tell me this, huh? Why didn't you come to me?

I didn't tell anybody.

Jesus, you poor thing.

Are you all right? I mean, seriously, are you okay?

Yeah?

God, I don't believe this.

Oh, shit.

Shit, shit, shit!

What?

What?

You're going to be so mad at me.

Why?

Well, I kind of told Nick that you would double with Ronnie.

Great. Thanks a lot.

Look, you don't have to go, okay?

I mean, you can just forget the whole thing, okay?

Just forget it, okay?

Well...

Well, go anyway, okay? Just go, Caroline.

I mean, you'll have a good time. He's really nice.

His father owns a hardware store downtown, you know?

And when was the last time you went dancing, huh?

And look, if you don't like him,

if he doesn't turn out to be the glass slipper man,

you don't have to see him anymore, all right?

I don't know.

My dad owns a hardware store.

What?

My dad, he owns a hardware store.

If you ever need anything...

What?

If you ever need anything, just let me know.

Just let me know. I'll take care of it.

Looks like we don't have to wait for a seat.

Cindy.

What?

Can I talk to you?

- Nick. - Yeah.

- Go find us a table. - Okay.

Okay.

What is wrong with you?

Cindy, I didn't want to go out with him.

I didn't know we were gonna come here.

This isn't right being here. This is terrible.

Let's just go. Let's just go.

Why?

Why don't you just go tell Adam that you're with friends?

I mean, you and me went out dancing and that's all.

What, he's got that much hold on you already?

No, no, that isn't it.

He's very sensitive, and I don't know how he's going to react

to see me with this guy.

Well, look, why don't you just go find Adam

and tell him that you and Ronnie are just friends?

All right?

Well, go ahead.

Jim, where's Adam?

I don't know, look in the back.

John, is Adam back here?

No, I haven't seen him.

Adam?

Adam?

- Just coffee. - Are you sure?

- Okay. Have fun. - There's Caroline.

Here. Sit.

I ain't going to bite you.

How's that?

Man.

Come on, get up.

Get off me!

Take this, tough guy.

All right!

Loser.

Oh, my God.

Jim! Jim!

What's going on?

Oh, my God. Adam.

Cindy!

I'm right here. I'm right here.

Call an ambulance.

Call an ambulance!

Is he breathing?

What happened?

Has he been shot?

I don't know. I don't know.

- Somebody check the parking lot. - We got it.

We got it.

Nobody there.

I'm right here. Right here. You're going to be okay.

It's not the knife wound that we're worried about.

It's his heart that we're concerned with.

His heart?

Yes. It's not the normal heart of a 26-year-old man.

Excuse me. What did you say?

We know he has a congenital defect,

and we do favor, at some point, a transplant.

It's been left untreated for far too long.

He should remain stable until a proper donor is available.

And how long can that take?

That we don't know.

He's sedated now, but he became very upset before

when we were talking about going in to relieve the pressure on his heart.

It took two orderlies, two nurses and myself just to hold him down.

Frankly, we were surprised that didn't kill him right there,

what with all the trauma he's experienced this evening.

However, that's also a very good sign of hope.

Thats he's more than strong enough,

and he can go on living for quite some time with treatment for what he's got.

Good evening. Are you with the lady in there?

- Oh, yes, yes. She's my best friend. - Okay.

Number five and number seven.

You positive?

Number five and number seven.

Thank you, miss. Just step over here, and we'll get the paperwork out of the way.

You're not taking off too much, are you?

Nope.

I only want a trim.

Did you hear me, young lady?

Yep, I heard you. You told me.

I can't believe I got to do this today. I've too much on my mind.

I'm telling you, I can't take this friggin' lady.

I know. Just try to calm down.

You can't work a miracle, so just do what you can. Hang tough.

You know, I know you're being tested today.

I hope you're not trying to impress anybody.

All I want is a trim.

It's too cold out yet for short hair.

Just keep your head still.

Should we maybe involve your instructor in this,

and she could make sure you don't make a disaster area

out of my hair?

Why did you stop?

You're not butchering it, are you? I wouldn't like to have you butcher my hair.

Lady, I'm not butchering your hair. It's a free haircut, all right?

So, stop your bitching before I cut it all off, you fat cow!

Thanks!

What?

Cindy, can you drive me over to the hospital?

I don't have a car, nobody's home, and I really want to see Adam.

When do they open?

I don't know.

Never mind. He's here.

Adam!

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you, Caroline.

I was so scared.

You okay? Are you okay?

Adam, come inside. You want me to get you something to eat?

You want some breakfast?

Your stitches, your stitches.

I bet you're sore.

Wait. I'm supposed to be giving you flowers.

They're beautiful.

What did the doctor say?

I'm not allowed to stick knives in my stomach.

very funny. You could have been killed.

They caught the guys who did it to you.

Do the police know what they did to you?

Yeah. I told them.

We'll probably both have to go to court.

Did you have your beauty exam today?

Yeah, but...

It just...

Forget it. It was just a stupid license. I was no good at it, anyway.

Don't say that.

So...

The doctor told you you're going to have to have a transplant?

Adam.

No, they're wrong.

Adam, the heart you have is diseased.

No one is taking away my heart.

You were just a kid. It was just a story.

You're going to die someday if you don't do something about it.

This is my heart.

I don't want you to die.

I love you.

I was...

I was wondering if you think about me...

Of course I think about you.

I wasn't finished.

Finish.

I was wondering if you think about me

half as much as I think about you.

I have to tell you something.

It might make you angry.

Look at me.

I watch you sleep sometimes.

The tree, it wasn't the first time I was in your room.

Or the last.

You come into my room?

From the basement under the porch.

To watch me sleep?

Why?

'Cause you have peace.

I don't.

My sleep, it's always the same dream.

A jungle.

Dreary, twisted limbs.

Strangling vines.

And rain.

Always the rain.

I feel suffocated.

Despair.

Despair just trying to survive.

Despair and no peace.

I'm afraid if they take away my heart,

I won't be able to love you the same.

You are my peace.

Oh, my God.

You love with your mind and your soul,

not actually with your heart.

It's just a saying.

Why does it hurt so much here when you're not with me?

Try me

Try me

Try me

Darlin', tell me

I need you

Try me

Try me

Try me

And your love

Will always be true

I need you

I need you

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

I want you right here

By my side

Hold me

Hold me

Hold me

And your love

We won't hide

I need you

Need you

Need you

Need you

Need you

I need you

Walk with me

Walk with me

Talk with me

Talk with me

I want you to stop my

Heart from cryin'

Walk with me

Talk with me

And your love

Stops my heart from dyin'

I need you

Happy... Happy birthday!

Come here. You look beautiful.

You get this.

You get this.

And you get this.

Go get your coat.

Where are we going?

It's a surprise.

What's that?

It's a present for you.

For me?

Yeah. Don't open it.

It's a surprise. We can open it later, together.

You got me a present on your birthday?

Come here.

I have fallen...

Did you hurt yourself?

I wasn't finished.

I have fallen so in love with you,

so much more than I told you I would.

All right.

We're here.

Okay.

Come on.

Take it out! Take it out!

Come on, take it out!

Clear it out! Clear it out!

Clear it out!

Yeah!

Come on!

- Yeah! - Yeah!

He caught the puck! I don't believe it!

He did it!

Hey!

North Stars! North Stars!

Yay!

Yay!

I can't believe you caught a puck.

That's, like...

It, like, never happens. That's, like, amazing.

You're amazing.

Thank you for taking me, Caroline.

I didn't know if you'd like it.

You know what I like.

I'm glad you like it as much as me.

I love hockey.

You didn't even know what a power play was.

I know, but the next time we go, you can tell me.

I'll catch another one of these for you.

It was a good game, huh?

Yeah.

Good game.

Hey.

Baby, wake up.

We're home.

Hey.

Wake up. Wake up.

Sweetie.

We're home.

Hey!

Hey!

You're lucky I love you, too.

Luck has nothing to do with it.

He was like an angel, you know?

I never knew life could be like that.

He was the one thing I followed through with in my life.

The one thing I didn't give up on.

I was good at loving him.

Dear Caroline,

I don't need these anymore because all my wishes came true.

I found you.

So play them and think of me.

I'll wish on Mars and think of you.

I carry your heart with me.

I'm not finished. I carry it in my heart.

There was a boy

A very strange enchanted boy

They say he wandered

very far, very far

Over land and sea

A little shy

And sad of eye

But very wise

Was he

And then one day

A magic day he passed my way

And while we spoke of

Many things, fools and kings

This he said to me

The greatest thing

You'll ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved

In return

A little shy

And sad of eye

But very wise

Was he

And then one day

A magic day he passed my way

And while we spoke of

Many things, fools and kings

This he said to me

The greatest thing

You'll ever learn

Is just to love

And be loved

In return

The greatest thing
