Excuse me. ¡ª¡ªCome on, honey, let's get you ready for bed. ¡ª¡ªI am no one special, ¡ª¡ªjust a common man with common thoughts. ¡ª¡ªI've led a common life. ¡ª¡ªThere are no monuments dedicated to me. ¡ª¡ªAnd my name will soon be forgotten. ¡ª¡ªBut in one respect, ¡ª¡ªI've succeeded as gloriously as anyone who ever lived. ¡ª¡ª- Looking good, Duke. - Feeling good. ¡ª¡ªI've loved another with all my heart ¡ª¡ªand soul and for me that has always been enough. ¡ª¡ªHow's it hanging, Harry? ¡ª¡ªI keep trying to die, but they won't let me. ¡ª¡ªWell, you can't have everything. ¡ª¡ªBig day today. ¡ª¡ªYou say that every day, you old devil. ¡ª¡ªIt's a lovely day outside. ¡ª¡ªLet's take a walk. ¡ª¡ªI don't think so. ¡ª¡ªWell, we've got to get you out of this room. ¡ª¡ªCome on now, honey. Some fresh air ¡ª¡ª- would do you good. - Hello. ¡ª¡ªI'm sorry, it's not a good day. ¡ª¡ªI don't think she's up for anything. ¡ª¡ªHello? ¡ª¡ªThis is Duke, he's come to read to you. ¡ª¡ª- Read? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªNo. I don't know. ¡ª¡ªOh, come on, you'll like him, he's very funny. ¡ª¡ªAhh... ¡ª¡ªAll right now, where did we leave off? ¡ª¡ªOh, yeah, yeah, it was the night of the carnival. ¡ª¡ª"Noah, was there with his friends, Fin and Sarah." ¡ª¡ª- Noah? - That's where they met-- ¡ª¡ªJune 6th, 1940. ¡ª¡ªAllie was 17 years old. ¡ª¡ª- Little man wins a prize. - Damn! ¡ª¡ª- Thank you for playing. - Ha, you're real funny. ¡ª¡ªMan, I clobbered that thing. ¡ª¡ªI'm tellin' you, these games are fixed. ¡ª¡ª- Hello. - How are you? ¡ª¡ªHi, what's your name? ¡ª¡ªStep right up here. ¡ª¡ªOver the hook, yeah. ¡ª¡ªWhoa.¡ª¡ª- Who's this girl with Sara? - Her name's Allie Hamilton. ¡ª¡ªShe's here for the summer with her family. ¡ª¡ªDad's got more money than God. ¡ª¡ª- Hi, Fin! - Hi, honey. ¡ª¡ªLook, I won you a prize. ¡ª¡ªOh, Fin, thank you! ¡ª¡ª- Oww! - Yeah. ¡ª¡ªHey great, huh? ¡ª¡ªHey Allie, you want some cotton candy? ¡ª¡ª- Umm, okay. - That would be so much fun. ¡ª¡ªYou only get one chance, son. ¡ª¡ª- You want to dance with me? - No. ¡ª¡ª- Why not? - 'Cause I don't want to. ¡ª¡ªNoah, she's with us. ¡ª¡ªHey Allie, you want to ride the Ferris wheel? ¡ª¡ª- I'd love to. - All right. ¡ª¡ªExcuse me. ¡ª¡ªExcuse me. ¡ª¡ª- Noah Calhoun. - What? ¡ª¡ªWorks down at the lumber yard with Fin. ¡ª¡ªOh... ¡ª¡ªDid you see he was standing like two inches away from my face? ¡ª¡ªYeah, I saw. That's Noah, though. ¡ª¡ªYou know I'm surprised he even came over. ¡ª¡ªI think he likes you. ¡ª¡ªHey what-- jerk-- ¡ª¡ªGet off me. Don't touch me. ¡ª¡ª- Hey! - Well, l... ugh! ¡ª¡ª- What are you doing? - Hey, you can't do that! ¡ª¡ªI'll pay you when I get down, Tommy. ¡ª¡ªI'm Noah Calhoun. ¡ª¡ª- So?! - So, it's really nice to meet you. ¡ª¡ª- Allie, who is this guy? - I don't know, Noah Calhoun. ¡ª¡ª- I would really like to take you out. - Friend! Do you mind? ¡ª¡ªYou can't sit more than two people in a chair, Noah. ¡ª¡ªOkay, Tommy, all right. ¡ª¡ªGet down, Noah, you're gonna kill yourself! ¡ª¡ªNoah, cut it out. ¡ª¡ªNow, will you go out with me? ¡ª¡ªWhat? ¡ª¡ª- No. - No? ¡ª¡ª- No. - No? ¡ª¡ªHey pal, she just told you. ¡ª¡ªWhy not? ¡ª¡ªI don't know, because I don't want to. ¡ª¡ªNoah! ¡ª¡ªWhat? Well, you leave me no other choice then. ¡ª¡ªOh my God. ¡ª¡ªI'm not kidding. ¡ª¡ª- Noah, stop fooling around. - What are you doing? ¡ª¡ª- Noah, grab the bar. - I'm gonna ask you one more time. ¡ª¡ªWill you... ¡ª¡ª- or will you not go out with me? - Noah, you best come on. ¡ª¡ª- God damn, my hand's slipping. - Then grab the bar, you idiot. ¡ª¡ª- Not until she agrees. - Ah, go on out with him, honey. ¡ª¡ª- Okay, okay, fine, I'll go out with you. ¡ª¡ª- What? - No, don't do me any favors. ¡ª¡ªNo, no. I want to. ¡ª¡ª- You want to? You want to? - Yes! ¡ª¡ª- Say it. - I want to go out with you. ¡ª¡ª- Say it again. - I want to go out with you. ¡ª¡ªAll right, all right we'll go out. ¡ª¡ªYou think you're so smart, don't you? ¡ª¡ªThat wasn't funny, Noah, you idiot! ¡ª¡ªNo, it's okay, I'll take care of this. ¡ª¡ªWhat are you doing? ¡ª¡ªPlease don't do that. ¡ª¡ªPlease don't do that, Allie. ¡ª¡ªI can't believe... ¡ª¡ªOh God. ¡ª¡ªYou're not so cocky now, are ya? ¡ª¡ªI'm gonna get you for that. ¡ª¡ªAh, maybe you will, maybe you won't. ¡ª¡ª- Did he say anything to you? - Oh, yeah, will

you look at that? ¡ª¡ªIt's that girl from the Carnival, right? ¡ª¡ªDo you remember me? ¡ª¡ªYeah, sure, Mr. Underwear, was it? ¡ª¡ª- Well, l... - How could I forget. ¡ª¡ªYeah, I wanted to clear that up with you, ¡ª¡ªbecause I'm really sorry about that. ¡ª¡ªIt was a really stupid thing to do-- ¡ª¡ªcrawl up a Ferris wheel to talk to somebody. ¡ª¡ªBut I had to be next to you. ¡ª¡ªI was being drawn to you. ¡ª¡ªOh-- oh, jeez, what a line! ¡ª¡ªYou use that on all the girls? ¡ª¡ª- No. - Right. ¡ª¡ªI saw you the other night with little Miss Ribbons. ¡ª¡ª- What are you doing tonight? - What? ¡ª¡ªOr tomorrow night, or this weekend, whatever. ¡ª¡ª- Why? - Why? Our date. ¡ª¡ªWhat date? ¡ª¡ª- The date that you agreed to. - No... ¡ª¡ªYes, you did. You promised and you swore it. ¡ª¡ªWell, I guess I changed my mind. ¡ª¡ªLook, I know you get some dirty guy coming up to you ¡ª¡ªon the street-- you don't know him. ¡ª¡ªYou don't know me, but I know me. ¡ª¡ªAnd when I see something that I like, ¡ª¡ªI gotta ha-- I love it. ¡ª¡ªI go-- I mean, I go crazy for it. ¡ª¡ªOkay, what are you talking about? ¡ª¡ªWell, you. ¡ª¡ªOh, you're good. ¡ª¡ª- What? - You're good. ¡ª¡ª- No. No, you're getting me wrong. - You're good. You are. ¡ª¡ª- You're fantastic. - I'm not. ¡ª¡ªYou really are. I'm impressed. ¡ª¡ª- I'm not usually like this, I'm sorry. - Oh, yes, you are. ¡ª¡ªI can be fun, if you want... ¡ª¡ªpensive, uh, smart, ¡ª¡ªuh, superstitious, brave. ¡ª¡ªAnd uh... I can be light on my feet. ¡ª¡ªI could be whatever you want. ¡ª¡ªYou just tell me what you want and I'll be that for you. ¡ª¡ªYou're dumb. ¡ª¡ªI could be that. ¡ª¡ªCome on, one date. What's it gonna hurt? ¡ª¡ªUmm... I don't think so. ¡ª¡ªWell, what I can I do to change your mind? ¡ª¡ªGuess you'll figure something out. ¡ª¡ª- You sure she's coming? - Relax, pal, it's all set up. ¡ª¡ªWe're meeting her for the late show. ¡ª¡ªLook-- what did I tell you? Come on. ¡ª¡ªOh my goodness, what a coincidence! ¡ª¡ªI need to talk to you for a second. ¡ª¡ª- He's here! - Allie, you remember Noah, don't you? ¡ª¡ª- Yes, I remember. - Yeah. ¡ª¡ª- Come here. - Fin! ¡ª¡ª- Hi. - Hi. ¡ª¡ª- It's nice to see you again. - You too. ¡ª¡ª- You look great. - Aw, thanks. ¡ª¡ªReally, really great. ¡ª¡ªYou do look great. You look great. ¡ª¡ªAnd I know I look great, so could we please go see this movie? ¡ª¡ª- The show's about to start. - After you. ¡ª¡ªYou come back here, Li'l Abner. ¡ª¡ªYou ain't gonna catch me, Daisy Mae! ¡ª¡ªIt's Sadie Hawkins Day, I'm supposed to catch you! ¡ª¡ªI'm faster than you. ¡ª¡ªNo, No! ¡ª¡ªI'll get you! ¡ª¡ªI'm going get... ¡ª¡ªHere I come! ¡ª¡ªYou better run fast! ¡ª¡ªYou ketchum Polecat far and squar. ¡ª¡ªWait for me. ¡ª¡ªWhat happened in that movie? ¡ª¡ª- Here you go. - Thank you. ¡ª¡ª- What are you guys doing? - Want to walk with me? ¡ª¡ªYeah, what's going on? ¡ª¡ª- Yeah. - We're gonna walk. ¡ª¡ªDo you guys love each other? ¡ª¡ªHuh? Oh, I get it. ¡ª¡ª- You guys do love each other. - Don't do anything I wouldn't do. ¡ª¡ªOkay, good bye. ¡ª¡ª- All right, all right. - Mmm... ¡ª¡ªThat was fun. ¡ª¡ªMm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªI haven't seen a movie in ages. ¡ª¡ª- Really? - Huh-uh. ¡ª¡ªNot since I was a little kid. ¡ª¡ªWhat? ¡ª¡ªNo, l, uh... ¡ª¡ªI'm busy, you know, I don't have a lot of time. ¡ª¡ª- You're busy? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªI have a very strict schedule. ¡ª¡ªMy days are all planned out. ¡ª¡ªI get up in the morning-- breakfast, math tutor, Latin tutor, lunch, ¡ª¡ªtennis lessons, dance lessons-- sometimes both-- ¡ª¡ªFrench tutor, piano lesson, then I eat dinner. ¡ª¡ªAnd after dinner I spend time with my family. ¡ª¡ªAnd then l-- I catch up on some reading. ¡ª¡ªWow. ¡ª¡ªSounds like the road to success. ¡ª¡ªOh, you bet. ¡ª¡ªWe're applying to all these colleges-- ¡ª¡ªumm... Radcliffe, Sarah Lawrence-- those are the ones we want. ¡ª¡ª- And who's we? - What? ¡ª¡ªYou just said, "The ones that we want." ¡ª¡ªOh, Mom and Daddy. ¡ª¡ªWe decide everything together. ¡ª¡ªEverything? ¡ª¡ªNo, not everything. ¡ª¡ªBut the important things, yes. ¡ª¡ªAnd then everything else, you get to decide all by yourself? ¡ª¡ª- Don't be rude. - I'm sorry. ¡ª¡ªJust trying to figure out what you do for fun.¡ª¡ªWhat do you mean? ¡ª¡ªI mean... ¡ª¡ªI don't know, I mean all those things ¡ª¡ªare things

you have to do, right? ¡ª¡ªSo what do you do because you want to? ¡ª¡ªI just told ya. ¡ª¡ªI don't know. ¡ª¡ªThis surprises me. ¡ª¡ªWhy? ¡ª¡ªI just always figured you were kinda... ¡ª¡ªKinda what? ¡ª¡ªJust... ¡ª¡ª- Free. - What? ¡ª¡ªFree. ¡ª¡ªI am free. ¡ª¡ªYou don't seem like it. ¡ª¡ªWell, I am. ¡ª¡ªCome here, I want to show you something. ¡ª¡ª- Noah, what are you doing? - Just come on. ¡ª¡ª- You're gonna get run over. - By all the cars? ¡ª¡ªMy Dad and I used to come out here ¡ª¡ªand lay down and watch the lights change. ¡ª¡ªAnd watch them go from green to red to yellow. ¡ª¡ªYou could try it, if you wanted to. ¡ª¡ª- No. - Why not? ¡ª¡ªBecause I don't know-- will you just get up? ¡ª¡ªThat's your problem, you know that? ¡ª¡ªYou don't do what you want. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªWhat happens if a car comes? ¡ª¡ª- We die. - What? ¡ª¡ªJust relax. Just trust. ¡ª¡ªYou need to learn how to trust. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ª- Painting. - Hmm? ¡ª¡ªYou asked me what I do for me. ¡ª¡ª- What now? - I love to paint. ¡ª¡ª- Yeah? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªHuh. ¡ª¡ªMost of the time, I have all these thoughts bouncing around in my head. ¡ª¡ªBut with a brush in my hand, ¡ª¡ªthe world just gets kinda quiet. ¡ª¡ªGet out of the street! ¡ª¡ªAre you okay? ¡ª¡ªWhy are you laughing? ¡ª¡ªOh, that was fun. ¡ª¡ªDo you want to dance with me? ¡ª¡ªSure. ¡ª¡ª- Now? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ª- Here? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªNot supposed to dance in the middle of the street. ¡ª¡ªWho said dance in the street? ¡ª¡ªAnd we don't have any music. ¡ª¡ªWell, we'll make some. ¡ª¡ª¡ò Bum bum ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò Bum bum bum ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò Bum ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò Bum bum ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò Bum bum bum bum bum. ¡ò ¡ª¡ªYou're a terrible singer. ¡ª¡ªI know. ¡ª¡ªBut I like this song. ¡ª¡ª¡ò I'll be seeing you ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò In all the old ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò Familiar places ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò That this heart of mine ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò Embraces ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò All day and through ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò In that small cafe ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò The park across the way ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò The children's carousel ¡ò ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò The chestnut trees...¡ò - Southern summers ¡ª¡ªare indifferent to the trials of young love. ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò The wishing well ¡ò - Armed with warnings and doubts, ¡ª¡ªNoah and Allie gave a remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy and a girl ¡ª¡ªtraveling down a very long road ¡ª¡ªwith no regard for the consequences. ¡ª¡ªThey fell in love, didn't they? ¡ª¡ª- Yes, they did. - Good. ¡ª¡ªI like this kind of story. Go on. ¡ª¡ªAfter that night, ¡ª¡ªAllie and Noah spent every waking hour together. ¡ª¡ªAnd soon they were inseparable. ¡ª¡ª- Noah, come on. - Your boat cannot beat me there. ¡ª¡ª- That's really nice. - Mmm, mmm, mmm... ¡ª¡ª"Beautiful dripping fragments. ¡ª¡ªThe negligent list ¡ª¡ªof one after another, ¡ª¡ªas I happen to call them to me. ¡ª¡ªOr drink to them. ¡ª¡ªThe real poems, what we call poems, ¡ª¡ªbeing merely pictures. The poems of the privacy of the night. ¡ª¡ªAnd of men like me. ¡ª¡ªThis poem, drooping shy and unseen, ¡ª¡ªthat I always carry. And that all men carry." ¡ª¡ªNot bad for Whitman. ¡ª¡ªHey, look, we got a visitor. ¡ª¡ªI'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. ¡ª¡ªWell, don't apologize, come on up here, darling. ¡ª¡ªWe could use a little something here besides the smell of lumber. ¡ª¡ªDad, this is Allison Hamilton. ¡ª¡ªAllison, I'm glad to meet you. ¡ª¡ª- Allie. - Allie. ¡ª¡ªPleased to meet you, Mr. Calhoun. ¡ª¡ªWell Mr. Calho-- What, am I old or something? ¡ª¡ªYou can call me Frank. ¡ª¡ª- Here, come in and have a seat. - Okay. ¡ª¡ªSo, Allie. Well, yeah, she is pretty, son. ¡ª¡ª- Yes. - She's a lot prettier than you let on. ¡ª¡ª- Oh, is that right? - No, it's not right. ¡ª¡ªDon't believe what he says. ¡ª¡ª- What is this you got? - Umm, l-- uh, I just-- ¡ª¡ªI brought you something. ¡ª¡ªLet me see. Let's have a look. ¡ª¡ª- Did you do this? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªWell, that's beautiful. Look at that. ¡ª¡ªThat's a damn picture there. ¡ª¡ªWell, I know just where we can put that, thank you. ¡ª¡ªOh, that was a lovely poem. ¡ª¡ªWhat was it? ¡ª¡ª- El-- - Whitman. ¡ª¡ªSee when he was a little kid he used to stutter real bad. ¡ª¡ª- Dad-- - So-- well, you did. ¡ª¡ª- I didn't know that. - God. I stammered. ¡ª¡ªStammered, stutter, what's the difference? ¡ª¡ªCouldn't understand a damn thing he said. ¡ª¡ªSo, I got him to read me poetry out loud. ¡ª¡ªIt wasn't very pretty at first, ¡ª¡ªbut then his stutter went away. ¡ª¡ªWell,

it's a good idea, that poetry. ¡ª¡ª- Yeah, I thought so. - Huh? ¡ª¡ªUnbelievable, unbelievable. ¡ª¡ªI'm a Tennyson man, myself, but he likes Whitman-- ¡ª¡ªFor some reason, I don't know. ¡ª¡ªSay, how would you like some breakfast? Would you like some breakfast? ¡ª¡ª- Breakfast? - Yeah. ¡ª¡ª- Dad, it's 10:00. - What's that got to do with it? ¡ª¡ªYou can have pancakes any damn time of night you want. ¡ª¡ª- Come on, you want some breakfast? - Sure. ¡ª¡ªIt was an improbable romance. ¡ª¡ªHe was a country boy. She was from the city. ¡ª¡ªShe had the world at her feet, ¡ª¡ªwhile he didn't have two dimes to rub together. ¡ª¡ªNoah, come on. ¡ª¡ªWhoo! ¡ª¡ªLook at us. ¡ª¡ªWhat are we doing? ¡ª¡ªDo you think in another life, I could have been a bird? ¡ª¡ªWhat do you mean? ¡ª¡ªLike reincarnation. ¡ª¡ªI don't know. ¡ª¡ªI think I could. ¡ª¡ªSay I'm a bird. ¡ª¡ªNo. ¡ª¡ª- Don't do it. - Say I'm a bird. ¡ª¡ª- Stop it. Stop it now. ¡ª¡ª- You're not. - Say it! ¡ª¡ª- You're a bird. - Yeah. ¡ª¡ªNow say you're a bird too. ¡ª¡ªIf you're a bird, I'm a bird. ¡ª¡ª- Come on, darling. - What are you doing? ¡ª¡ªDon't. Don't! ¡ª¡ªHere we go, on the count of three, okay? ¡ª¡ªReal easy, on three, ready? ¡ª¡ª- Okay, okay. - One... ¡ª¡ª- Two-- two... - two... ¡ª¡ª-...three! - No! I can't. ¡ª¡ªGet in the water! ¡ª¡ª- Get in! I'm sorry. - Come on, chicken. ¡ª¡ªGet in the water, baby. Baby, would you get in. ¡ª¡ª- Get in the water. - I can't. ¡ª¡ª- Go! - Get in the water! ¡ª¡ª- One... -Come on, jump. ¡ª¡ª- Two... - Three. ¡ª¡ªKeep 'em together! No, no, no. ¡ª¡ª- Get to your place. - Down here. ¡ª¡ªAnd move. And keep it. ¡ª¡ªNo, don't move it! ¡ª¡ªI don't understand what you're talking about. ¡ª¡ªThey didn't agree on much. ¡ª¡ªIn fact, they rarely agreed on everything. They fought all the time. ¡ª¡ª- Don't kick me! - Don't push me. ¡ª¡ªAnd they challenged each other every day. ¡ª¡ªBut despite their differences, ¡ª¡ªthey had one important thing in common. ¡ª¡ªThey were crazy about each other. ¡ª¡ªOkay, I have to go. ¡ª¡ª- No. - Yes, I do. ¡ª¡ªAllie. ¡ª¡ªDaddy. Oh, Daddy you're-- ¡ª¡ªI didn't see you there. ¡ª¡ªYou kinda scared me. ¡ª¡ªBecoming friendly with that boy down there. ¡ª¡ªYes. ¡ª¡ªBring him to the house on Sunday. ¡ª¡ªI want to meet this young man. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªGood night, Daddy. ¡ª¡ªGood night. ¡ª¡ªOh, boy. ¡ª¡ªThis bug goes "Daddy, I don't understand." ¡ª¡ªHe goes, "Well, in theory, we're both millionaires, but in reality, ¡ª¡ªwe live with a bunch of whores." ¡ª¡ªBishop Stevens told me that. ¡ª¡ªOlivier, please remove the-- the liquor decanter from in front of my husband. ¡ª¡ªI think he's had a little too much to drink. ¡ª¡ª- I don't get it. - Pay attention. ¡ª¡ªSo, what do you do, Noah? ¡ª¡ªI work at the lumber yard with Fin. ¡ª¡ªMainly milling and receiving logs-- and stripping the bark. ¡ª¡ªOh, that's lovely, dear. ¡ª¡ªThank you. ¡ª¡ªIf you don't mind my asking, uh, how much do you make at your job? ¡ª¡ªUh, how much money do I make? ¡ª¡ªMm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªAbout 40 cents an hour. ¡ª¡ªYeah, it's not much, but I don't need a lot. ¡ª¡ªAnd l-- I save most of it. ¡ª¡ªLet's eat. Shall we? ¡ª¡ªYes! Oh, it looks delicious. ¡ª¡ªSo Noah, you and Allie have been spending a lot of time together. ¡ª¡ªYou must be very fond of each other. ¡ª¡ªIt's getting pretty serious, huh? ¡ª¡ªYes, ma'am. ¡ª¡ªWell, summer's almost gone. What will you do? ¡ª¡ªYou know, Charleston's only a couple of hours away. ¡ª¡ªBut Allie's going to Sarah Lawrence. ¡ª¡ªDidn't she tell you? ¡ª¡ªNo, she didn't tell me that. ¡ª¡ªI just got the letter. I was going to tell you. ¡ª¡ªIt's okay. ¡ª¡ªAnd Sarah Lawrence is in New York. ¡ª¡ªI didn't know that. ¡ª¡ªAnne, this conversation's too stuffy for the dinner table. ¡ª¡ªLet the children have fun without bringing in the Spanish lnquisition. ¡ª¡ªMy lips are buttoned, right now. ¡ª¡ªI do know another joke about the Nun and the full standing bishop. ¡ª¡ª- Stop - That wasn't me. ¡ª¡ªI'm leaving the table if you tell another joke. ¡ª¡ªWhoo! ¡ª¡ªI'm gonna do it. ¡ª¡ª- Yeah. - Yeah. ¡ª¡ªThat child's got too much spirit for a girl of her circumstance. ¡ª¡ªNah, it's just summer love. ¡ª¡ªTrouble is what it is. ¡ª¡ª- Mmm. - Mmm. ¡ª¡ªIs that Allie out there? ¡ª¡ªDo you want to go somewhere? ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªWait here. ¡ª¡ªAllie!

¡ª¡ªCome on. ¡ª¡ªAll right, take a step. ¡ª¡ªStep. No, don't-- ¡ª¡ªAll right, just stay there. ¡ª¡ªDon't open your eyes. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªThe Windsor Plantation. ¡ª¡ªIt was built in 1772. ¡ª¡ª- Rumor has it that Francis Marion... - Mm-hmm? ¡ª¡ªproposed to his wife right here under these-- uh, these steps. ¡ª¡ª- Huh? - Watch out. ¡ª¡ªYou be careful, these are broken. Look at that. ¡ª¡ªThis-- ¡ª¡ªThis place is gigantic. ¡ª¡ªYeah, a gigantic piece of crap. ¡ª¡ªIt is. ¡ª¡ªBut I'm gonna buy it one day and I'm gonna fix it up. ¡ª¡ªAll it needs is a new floor. ¡ª¡ªAnd new walls and a roof. ¡ª¡ª- Is that all? - And plumbing and electric. ¡ª¡ª- And furniture. - Yes, and furniture. ¡ª¡ªBut it's right on the water. ¡ª¡ªAnd there's a big old barn out there-- ¡ª¡ªI could turn that into my workshop. ¡ª¡ªWell, what about me? ¡ª¡ªNow don't I get any say in this? ¡ª¡ªYou want a say in this? ¡ª¡ªYes, I would. ¡ª¡ªWhat do you want? ¡ª¡ªI want a white house... ¡ª¡ª- with blue shutters... - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªand a room overlooking the river so I can paint. ¡ª¡ª- Anything else? - Yes. ¡ª¡ªI want a big old porch that wraps around the entire house. ¡ª¡ª- We can drink tea... - Whoa, whoa, whoa-- ¡ª¡ªand watch the sun go down. ¡ª¡ª- Okay. - You promise? ¡ª¡ªMm-hmm, I promise. ¡ª¡ªGood. ¡ª¡ª- Where are you going? - In here. ¡ª¡ªWow. ¡ª¡ªI can't play chopsticks if you're doing that. ¡ª¡ªOh, God. ¡ª¡ªOh, make love to me. ¡ª¡ª- Noah. - Yeah? ¡ª¡ªUm... ¡ª¡ªI know I said that I wanted you to make love to me, ¡ª¡ª- but I think you-- - Yeah? ¡ª¡ªyou're gonna have to talk me through this. ¡ª¡ª- Right. You all right? - Yeah. ¡ª¡ª- Did I hurt you? - No, no. ¡ª¡ªI'm just-- I'm just having a lot of thoughts. ¡ª¡ªI'm just-- I'm just having a lot of-- ¡ª¡ªnever mind. ¡ª¡ªLike what are you thinking? What are you thinking, right now? ¡ª¡ªYou know, right this second? ¡ª¡ªUh. ¡ª¡ªDid you know that this was going to happen when you brought me here? ¡ª¡ª- No. - No? ¡ª¡ª- No. - No, you didn't think about it? ¡ª¡ª- Of course I thought about it. - You did? ¡ª¡ª- Uh-huh. - Well, what did you think? ¡ª¡ªUh, I'm talking too much, aren't l? ¡ª¡ªOkay, okay, I'm just going to shut up. ¡ª¡ªMum's the word. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ª- You all right? - Yeah. ¡ª¡ª- Uh-huh. - All right. ¡ª¡ªI just don't understand how come you're so quiet. ¡ª¡ªYou don't have one thought? ¡ª¡ªI'm going crazy over here, ¡ª¡ªbut no, with you, everything's fine. ¡ª¡ªYou don't have a care in the world? ¡ª¡ªI'm sorry. ¡ª¡ªI wanted this to be so perfect. ¡ª¡ªNow I can't shut up. ¡ª¡ªI love you. ¡ª¡ªDid you know that? ¡ª¡ªI love you too. ¡ª¡ªYeah. ¡ª¡ªYou don't have to do this if you don't want to. ¡ª¡ªNo, no, I want to, I do. ¡ª¡ªNoah! Noah! ¡ª¡ªWhat? Fin, get out of here! ¡ª¡ªLook, I'm sorry, but Allie's parents are going crazy. ¡ª¡ªThey got every cop in town out looking for her. ¡ª¡ª- You sent the police for me? - Yes. ¡ª¡ªIt is two in the morning. We sent the police. ¡ª¡ªThank God you're all right. Where you been? ¡ª¡ªMr. Hamilton, all this is my fault. ¡ª¡ªWould you give us a moment please? ¡ª¡ªI'd like to talk to my daughter. ¡ª¡ªAlone, young lady. ¡ª¡ªThanks for everything, Lieutenant. ¡ª¡ªYou bet, John, anytime. ¡ª¡ªYou go straight home now, it's late. ¡ª¡ªSir, it's really not her fault. ¡ª¡ªI lost track of time. ¡ª¡ªSit down. ¡ª¡ªI'm sorry, Daddy. ¡ª¡ª- Is he a rapist? - No. ¡ª¡ª- Like what, mother? - You are going to stop seeing Noah. ¡ª¡ªShe is out fooling around with that boy till 2:00 in the morning ¡ª¡ªand it has got to stop. ¡ª¡ªI didn't spend 17 years of my life ¡ª¡ªraising a daughter and giving her everything... ¡ª¡ªso she could throw it away on a summer romance. ¡ª¡ªDaddy, come on! ¡ª¡ªShe will wind up with her heart broken or pregnant. ¡ª¡ª- Anne, please. - Now, he is a nice boy. ¡ª¡ª- He's a nice boy, but he's-- - He's what? He's what? Tell me. ¡ª¡ªHe is trash, trash, trash-- not for you. ¡ª¡ªTrash? ¡ª¡ªDon't touch me! ¡ª¡ªNow that is enough. You are not to see him anymore. And that's final. ¡ª¡ª- No, it's not final. - Yes it is. ¡ª¡ª- No, it's not final! - Allie! ¡ª¡ªYou're not going to tell me who I'm gonna love. ¡ª¡ª- Love? - Yes Daddy, I love him. ¡ª¡ªI love him. ¡ª¡ªHe's not suitable for you, baby. ¡ª¡ªI love him. ¡ª¡ªYou are 17 years old, you don't know anything about love.

¡ª¡ªOh, and you do? ¡ª¡ªYou don't look at Daddy the way I look at Noah. ¡ª¡ªYou don't touch or laugh. ¡ª¡ªYou don't play. You don't know anything about love. ¡ª¡ªNoah? ¡ª¡ªNoah? ¡ª¡ªHey, hey. ¡ª¡ªYou leaving? ¡ª¡ªOh my God, I'm so sorry. ¡ª¡ªI don't even know what to say. I'm humiliated. ¡ª¡ª- It's all right. - No, it's not. ¡ª¡ª- Yeah. - No, it's not. ¡ª¡ªShh... ¡ª¡ªNo. ¡ª¡ª- I'm gonna go. - No, I don't want you to go. ¡ª¡ªI got to think about some stuff. ¡ª¡ªWhat do you got to think about, huh? ¡ª¡ªCome here and talk to me. ¡ª¡ªTalk to me! ¡ª¡ªAbout what? You want-- ¡ª¡ªyou're going away! ¡ª¡ªYou're leaving. ¡ª¡ªAnd I'm staying here. ¡ª¡ªAnd I'm so happy that you're doing it, ¡ª¡ªbut you're gonna have a million things to do. ¡ª¡ª- No. - You got so much ahead of you. ¡ª¡ª- Don't talk like that. - It's true. ¡ª¡ªI'm not going to have nice things, fancy things. ¡ª¡ªIt doesn't-- ¡ª¡ªIt's never gonna happen for me. It's not in the cards for me. ¡ª¡ªI don't have to go to school, okay? ¡ª¡ª- Yes, you do. - I can stay here. ¡ª¡ªNo. Do you see, that's exactly what I am talking about. ¡ª¡ªThen you can come with me. ¡ª¡ª- To New York? - Yes. ¡ª¡ªWhat am I going to do in New York? ¡ª¡ªBe with me? ¡ª¡ªYeah. ¡ª¡ªI don't know. ¡ª¡ªWe don't got to figure all this out tonight, ya know? ¡ª¡ªWe'll finish out the summer and we'll see what happens. ¡ª¡ªYou saying you want to break it off? ¡ª¡ªWhat I'm saying we see how it goes later on. ¡ª¡ªAre you breaking up with me? ¡ª¡ªI don't see how it's gonna work. ¡ª¡ªI see... ¡ª¡ªPlease don't do this. ¡ª¡ªYou don't mean it. ¡ª¡ªOh hell, well if you're going to do it, ¡ª¡ªwhy wait until the summer ends, huh? ¡ª¡ªWhy don't you just do it, right now? ¡ª¡ªHuh? ¡ª¡ªCome on. ¡ª¡ª- Come on. - What are you doing? ¡ª¡ªDo it! Do it! ¡ª¡ªDo it right now. ¡ª¡ªDo it! ¡ª¡ªStop it! ¡ª¡ªOh! ¡ª¡ªYou know what? I'm gonna do it. It's over. ¡ª¡ªOkay? It's over. ¡ª¡ª- Come here. - Don't touch me. ¡ª¡ªI hate you, I hate you. ¡ª¡ªI'm gonna go. ¡ª¡ªWhy don't you, why don't you just go. Get out. ¡ª¡ªLeave! Go! Go! ¡ª¡ªNo, no, just wait a minute. We're not really breaking up, are we? ¡ª¡ªCome on. ¡ª¡ªThis is just a fight we're having, ¡ª¡ªand tomorrow it will be like it never happened, right? ¡ª¡ª- Going? - Gone. ¡ª¡ªWell, she must have been devastated. ¡ª¡ªShe was. ¡ª¡ªHe was only trying to do the right thing. ¡ª¡ªYeah. ¡ª¡ªBut what he really should have done ¡ª¡ªis just told those parents to go to hell. ¡ª¡ªJust stick it where the sun don't shine. ¡ª¡ªYeah, you're right, probably should have. ¡ª¡ªThe next day, Allie woke up ¡ª¡ªto find her world completely changed. ¡ª¡ªWhat's going on? ¡ª¡ªWe're going home. ¡ª¡ª- We're going now? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªNo, we're not supposed to be leaving for another week. ¡ª¡ªGet dressed and then come and have some breakfast, dear. ¡ª¡ªWillow will pack your things. ¡ª¡ªWhy, I'd be happy to pack your things, Miss Allie. ¡ª¡ªI don't want you to pack my things. ¡ª¡ªI don't want you to touch my stuff. I'm not going. ¡ª¡ª- Yes, you are. - No, I'm not. ¡ª¡ª- Yes, Allie, you are. - No, I'm not. ¡ª¡ªAllie, you are going whether you like it or not. ¡ª¡ªNow, even if Aaron has to throw you over his shoulder ¡ª¡ªand drag you the whole way, you're going. ¡ª¡ªExcuse me. ¡ª¡ª- All right, let's go. - Come on. ¡ª¡ªWe have to have all these done by lunch. ¡ª¡ªCome on, get on! ¡ª¡ªYou shouldn't be standing around. Here we go. ¡ª¡ªLet's go. Come on. ¡ª¡ªFin! ¡ª¡ªWhere's Noah? ¡ª¡ªHe's out delivering a load. ¡ª¡ª- What's going on? - I'm leaving town. ¡ª¡ª- Leaving? - Yeah. ¡ª¡ª- When? - Now, right now-- like today. ¡ª¡ªLook, I need you to tell Noah something, okay? ¡ª¡ªI need you to tell him that I love him. ¡ª¡ªAnd tell him that I'm sorry for everything, okay? ¡ª¡ªLook, I was up all night with him, Allie. ¡ª¡ªI've never seen him so low. ¡ª¡ªIt's over. Don't make it any harder than it already is. ¡ª¡ªNo! No, it's not over. ¡ª¡ªFin, we had a fight last night. ¡ª¡ªNo, we said some things we didn't mean, but it's not over. ¡ª¡ª- It is over. - No. ¡ª¡ªLeave it alone. Let it go. ¡ª¡ªI'm coming. ¡ª¡ªMama, I'm coming! ¡ª¡ª- Look, he understands. - But-- ¡ª¡ªIt's hard, but he really does. ¡ª¡ªSummer's over and it's time to go home. ¡ª¡ªIf he wants to talk to you, he'll write. If not? ¡ª¡ªOkay.

¡ª¡ªOkay, can you just-- can you just tell him that I love him, then? ¡ª¡ª- Can you do that? - I'll tell him. ¡ª¡ªThank you. ¡ª¡ªBye, Fin. ¡ª¡ªShe's gone. ¡ª¡ªSummer romances end for all kinds of reasons. ¡ª¡ªBut when all is said and done, ¡ª¡ªthey have one thing in common: ¡ª¡ªThey are shooting stars-- ¡ª¡ªa spectacular moment of light in the heavens, ¡ª¡ªa fleeting glimpse of eternity. ¡ª¡ªAnd in a flash, they're gone. ¡ª¡ªNoah was desperate. ¡ª¡ªHe wrote to Allie that he was sorry and stupid ¡ª¡ªfor breaking up with her. ¡ª¡ªHe wrote to tell her that he still loved her, and he wanted to see her. ¡ª¡ªAnd that if she would write back, he would come to wherever she was. ¡ª¡ªHe wrote one letter a day for a year-- ¡ª¡ª365 letters, ¡ª¡ªbut they all went unanswered. ¡ª¡ªHey Fred! Nothing? ¡ª¡ªSorry. ¡ª¡ªAll right, thank you. ¡ª¡ªFinally, after a year of silence, ¡ª¡ªhe decided to put it all behind him and start a new life. ¡ª¡ªSo he wrote a farewell letter ¡ª¡ªAnd he and Fin packed their bags ¡ª¡ªand headed for Atlanta. ¡ª¡ªNoah! Noah! ¡ª¡ªNoah! ¡ª¡ªCome on, listen to this! ¡ª¡ªA state of war has existed ¡ª¡ªbetween the United States and the... ¡ª¡ªThe Constitution of the United States, ¡ª¡ªagainst all enemies, foreign and domestic. ¡ª¡ªNoah and Fin enlisted together. ¡ª¡ªAnd after two years of chasing Rommel ¡ª¡ªthrough the North African desert, ¡ª¡ªthey were deployed to Patton's Third Army in Europe. ¡ª¡ªGo! ¡ª¡ªFin! ¡ª¡ªDo I contradict myself? ¡ª¡ªVery well then, I contradict myself. ¡ª¡ªAllie was in her third year of college ¡ª¡ªwhen she volunteered as a nurse's aid. ¡ª¡ªTo her, the broken men with shattered bodies, ¡ª¡ªwho filled the ward were all Noah. ¡ª¡ªOr someone who fought beside him in the jungle ¡ª¡ªor frozen snow swept road. ¡ª¡ªI'm gonna lift you up. ¡ª¡ªReady? ¡ª¡ªThere we go. ¡ª¡ªNow, I'm gonna bring this leg over. ¡ª¡ª- Set it on the stool. - All right. ¡ª¡ª- You okay? - Yeah. ¡ª¡ªMiss, can l ask you a question? ¡ª¡ªHmm? ¡ª¡ªI noticed that you aren't wearing a ring. ¡ª¡ªAnd I was wondering if I could take you out. ¡ª¡ª- Excuse me? - On a date. ¡ª¡ªNow, before you go and say no, ¡ª¡ªI'll have you know that I am an excellent dancer ¡ª¡ªand my intentions are completely dishonorable. ¡ª¡ªOkay, okay "Casanova," come on. ¡ª¡ªLet's just get you better, ¡ª¡ªthen we'll talk about a date, okay? ¡ª¡ªWould you get a load of him? ¡ª¡ªOh my gosh, he is dreamy. ¡ª¡ª- What is he doing here? - Mmm. ¡ª¡ªHe's staring at you. ¡ª¡ªOh, miss? ¡ª¡ªI'm all better. ¡ª¡ªNow, how's about that date? ¡ª¡ªAllie was surprised how quickly ¡ª¡ªshe fell in love with Lon Hammond. ¡ª¡ªHe was handsome, smart, ¡ª¡ªfunny, sophisticated and charming. ¡ª¡ªHey! ¡ª¡ªHe also came from old Southern money, ¡ª¡ªand was fabulously wealthy. ¡ª¡ªWhat? ¡ª¡ª¡ò Hya! ¡ò ¡ª¡ªOh, what's happening? ¡ª¡ª- Where you going? - Where they going? ¡ª¡ª- See you later, sweetheart. - Oh dear, look at that. ¡ª¡ªAllie, I've been thinking a lot about why we shouldn't get married. ¡ª¡ªOkay, I give up, why shouldn't we get married? ¡ª¡ªWell see, that's the thing, I couldn't think of anything at first. ¡ª¡ªAn then, it just dawned on me. Your parents... ¡ª¡ª- My parents? - Absolutely. ¡ª¡ª- Your old mom and dad. Thank you for that. ¡ª¡ªMom? ¡ª¡ªYou see, the problem is that they love me. ¡ª¡ª- I'm exactly the type of man - They do. ¡ª¡ª- they want you to end up with. - Really? ¡ª¡ªYou know, I'm wealthy, I'm from the South, I got a decent job. ¡ª¡ªYou know, I'm an incredible dancer, I'm a really smart guy. ¡ª¡ªYou look great. ¡ª¡ª- I like to think-- - So what's the problem, huh? ¡ª¡ª- Now just this, if you marry me-- - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ª- Now listen close. ¡ª¡ª- If you marry me... - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªthen you will have lost a life long battle of defiance against them. ¡ª¡ªOh my goodness, what are we going to do? ¡ª¡ª- I do not know. - Huh! ¡ª¡ªHey, band, you feeling all right? ¡ª¡ª¡ò Hey, band, you feeling all right?! ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò Ooh bop sha bam, shi bimmy bop ¡ò ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò Oh bop sha bam, shi bimmy bop ¡ò - You say it! ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò Ally ally ally ooh ¡ò - ¡ò Ally ally ally ooh ¡ò ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò Olly olly olly ooh ¡ò - ¡ò Olly olly olly ooh ¡ò ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò Whooly ooh ¡ò - ¡ò Whooly ooh ¡ò ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò Whooly ooh ¡ò - ¡ò Whooly ooh ¡ò ¡ª¡ªSee Allie, I think-- damn it, I think you have to marry me.

¡ª¡ª- I think you need to marry me. - I do? ¡ª¡ª- Yes you do. - I do, why? ¡ª¡ªBecause if you do, you parents will always know ¡ª¡ªthe unhappiness that you feel for not being able to disappoint them. ¡ª¡ªI think you may have overlooked one minor detail. ¡ª¡ªAnd what's that? ¡ª¡ªWell, you see you have to get their permission first. ¡ª¡ªAnd I think you may have overestimated their affection for you. ¡ª¡ªIs that right? ¡ª¡ª- Mm-hmm. - Oh, I don't think so. ¡ª¡ªThen why not? ¡ª¡ªOh, 'cause I asked them already and they said yes. ¡ª¡ªWhat? ¡ª¡ªOne more thing. ¡ª¡ªI love you. ¡ª¡ªWill you marry me, honey? ¡ª¡ªI know I kid around a lot, but I'm crazy about you. ¡ª¡ªMarry me? Make me the happiest man in the world. ¡ª¡ªYes. Yes! ¡ª¡ª- Just hold tight. - Where are you going? ¡ª¡ªOh my God. Mama. ¡ª¡ªOkay, stop the band. ¡ª¡ªExcuse me. I'd like everyone here to know ¡ª¡ªthat this young lady and I are getting married. ¡ª¡ªShe agreed with all her heart, but couldn't understand ¡ª¡ªwhy at the very moment she said yes, ¡ª¡ªNoah's face came to her mind. ¡ª¡ªHey, Noah, yeah! ¡ª¡ªOh, good to see you. Let me see you. ¡ª¡ªYou bleeding anywhere? No? ¡ª¡ª- Everything good? - Yeah. ¡ª¡ªOh, I love you. ¡ª¡ªCome on, there's something I got to show you. ¡ª¡ª- Come on. - All right. ¡ª¡ªWhat's going on? ¡ª¡ªWhat is this? ¡ª¡ªHere. ¡ª¡ªI sold the house. ¡ª¡ª- You sold the house? - Yup. ¡ª¡ªGotta be out by the end of the month. ¡ª¡ªBetween that and your Gl Bill, you ought to be able to get it now. ¡ª¡ª- Get what? - Your dream house. ¡ª¡ª- The Windsor Plantation. - Dad-- ¡ª¡ªNow, don't Dad me, I don't want to hear about it. ¡ª¡ªI already talked to the bank, they're gonna give you the loan. ¡ª¡ª- Well, I can't let you sell your house. - It's done. ¡ª¡ªIt's a good thing. You should do it. ¡ª¡ªWait a second. You sell the house, where are you gonna live? ¡ª¡ªWith you, dummy, what do you think? ¡ª¡ªSomebody's got to help you fix it up. ¡ª¡ªNoah took a look at the house, ¡ª¡ªbut only saw one thing-- ¡ª¡ªAllie. ¡ª¡ªHe decided right there to fulfill his life-long dream. ¡ª¡ªHe would rebuild the old house from the ground up. ¡ª¡ªAnd when Noah went to Charleston to get the building plans approved, ¡ª¡ªfate stepped in and dealt him a sweet card. ¡ª¡ªStop the bus! Stop the bus. ¡ª¡ªSorry, Mac, I can't stop the bus until I get to the depot. ¡ª¡ªNo, no, no, please stop the bus now. Please! ¡ª¡ªDo you understand English, pal? ¡ª¡ªNo one gets off till we get to the depot. Now sit down. ¡ª¡ª- God. - Hey! ¡ª¡ªWatch it, screwball! ¡ª¡ªWhat are you doing? ¡ª¡ªHey! ¡ª¡ªHow old is your daughter now? ¡ª¡ª- Well, you mind. - He's right over there. ¡ª¡ªBaby, hello. ¡ª¡ª- Oh! - Hold it. ¡ª¡ªOh, come with it. ¡ª¡ªAfter seeing Allie that day, ¡ª¡ªsomething inside Noah snapped. ¡ª¡ªHe got the notion into his head ¡ª¡ªthat if he restored the old house ¡ª¡ªwhere they had come that night, ¡ª¡ªAllie would find a way to come back to him. ¡ª¡ªSome called it a labor of love. ¡ª¡ªOthers called it something else. ¡ª¡ªBut in fact, Noah had gone a little mad. ¡ª¡ª- Excuse me. - Would-- ¡ª¡ªIt's time to eat. ¡ª¡ªLunch will be served in the Sun Room today. ¡ª¡ªThe melon is good. I had a bite. ¡ª¡ªDid they ever see each other again? ¡ª¡ªNoah and Allie? ¡ª¡ªNow you don't want me to spoil the end of the story ¡ª¡ªbefore I get to the good part, do you? ¡ª¡ªWhere did I leave off? ¡ª¡ªI shall not want. ¡ª¡ªWhen Noah's father died in November, ¡ª¡ªthe house was all he had. ¡ª¡ªHe leadeth me down... ¡ª¡ªIn time, Noah finished the house. ¡ª¡ªOkay, smile. Here we go. ¡ª¡ªHe took a good look at what he had accomplished, ¡ª¡ªgot rip-roaring drunk for 10 days, ¡ª¡ªthought seriously about setting it on fire, ¡ª¡ªthen finally put the house up for sale. ¡ª¡ªI'm prepared to offer you this much. ¡ª¡ªHe had a number of interested buyers, ¡ª¡ªbut he always found a reason not to sell it to them. ¡ª¡ªNo. ¡ª¡ªEither the bids were too low, ¡ª¡ªor if they met his asking price, ¡ª¡ªhe felt it was worth a lot more. ¡ª¡ªIt's a lot of money, but I'll take it. ¡ª¡ª$50,000. ¡ª¡ª- That's more than my asking price. - That's right. ¡ª¡ªIt's a great deal more. ¡ª¡ªHe told the man that offered him $5,000 over his price ¡ª¡ªthat no one in his right mind would do that ¡ª¡ªand he wouldn't have a lunatic living in his house.

¡ª¡ªHe worked out his frustration with life on the creek every morning. ¡ª¡ªAnd in the evenings, to temper the sting of loneliness, ¡ª¡ªthere was Martha Shaw. ¡ª¡ªMartha was a war widow ¡ª¡ªwho lived in Quail Ridge, a town away. ¡ª¡ªSo you want to go out tomorrow? ¡ª¡ªI got to work. ¡ª¡ªWell, we could down to the river if you want to. ¡ª¡ªNext week, sometime. ¡ª¡ªMaybe we could take a drive somewhere? ¡ª¡ªNo. ¡ª¡ªWell, I'm just asking you. ¡ª¡ªWhat do you want, Noah? ¡ª¡ªWhat do you mean, what do I want? ¡ª¡ªFrom me. ¡ª¡ªSometimes when you talk to me, you don't even see me. ¡ª¡ªLook, a woman knows when a man looks into her eyes ¡ª¡ªand sees someone else. ¡ª¡ªNow you know I want to give you all the things that you want, ¡ª¡ªright? ¡ª¡ªBut I can't, ¡ª¡ªbecause they're gone... ¡ª¡ªthey're broken. ¡ª¡ªAll right? ¡ª¡ªIs the veil too much? ¡ª¡ªAre you kidding? You look perfect! ¡ª¡ªYou're the most beautiful bride. ¡ª¡ª- You look gorgeous, honey. - Thank you. ¡ª¡ªWait until Lon sees you in this dress, he's gonna go crazy. ¡ª¡ªHe won't be able to take his eyes off you, ¡ª¡ªor his hands. ¡ª¡ªOh, you're bad! ¡ª¡ªHave you seen this morning's paper? ¡ª¡ªThe "Daily Journal" says that you are going to be ¡ª¡ª- the social highlight of the season. - Of the season? ¡ª¡ªThis is gonna be a celebration the likes of which this town's never seen! ¡ª¡ªShe doesn't plan, she plots, doesn't she? ¡ª¡ª- Mama, look, the Governor's coming. - He better. Let me see. ¡ª¡ªOh, boy. ¡ª¡ª- All right Savannah, where are we at? - We're 82 now. ¡ª¡ª- Memphis, where are at? - We're 89 now. ¡ª¡ª89, great, up from 85. ¡ª¡ª- Sir? - Yes. ¡ª¡ªYou have a visitor. ¡ª¡ªWell, hello. Baby, I didn't know you were coming. ¡ª¡ªI'm-- I'm so sorry, I should have called. ¡ª¡ªBaby, what are you talking about? You don't have to call. ¡ª¡ª- Guys, could you give us a minute? - All right. ¡ª¡ªYes, sir. Miss Allie. ¡ª¡ªMa'am. ¡ª¡ªSo what's up? ¡ª¡ªI don't paint anymore. ¡ª¡ªI used to paint all the time. ¡ª¡ªI really loved it. ¡ª¡ª- I didn't know that. - Yeah. ¡ª¡ªSo paint. ¡ª¡ªI will. ¡ª¡ª- I'm gonna start. - Great. ¡ª¡ªIs everything okay? ¡ª¡ªI need to get away. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªI need to take care of a few things. ¡ª¡ªI need to clear my head. ¡ª¡ªOkay, should I be worried? ¡ª¡ª- No, I don't think so. - Oh, that's reassuring. ¡ª¡ªListen, are you all right? ¡ª¡ª- Yeah. - Okay, then go. ¡ª¡ªTake your time, do whatever you need to do. ¡ª¡ªIt's okay to be nervous, all right? ¡ª¡ªIt's normal to get cold feet before your wedding. ¡ª¡ªNo, no second thoughts, huh-uh. ¡ª¡ªI love you. ¡ª¡ªI'm going to be back from Seabrook in a couple of days, okay? ¡ª¡ª- Seabrook? - Yeah, Seabrook. ¡ª¡ªHello. ¡ª¡ªI saw your picture in the paper, ¡ª¡ªthe one with you and the house. ¡ª¡ªAnd I just wanted to come and see if you were okay. ¡ª¡ªI mean, I wasn't in the neighborhood or anything. ¡ª¡ªI just... ¡ª¡ªSo are you okay? ¡ª¡ªOkay, good. ¡ª¡ªI'm a stupid woman, I shouldn't have come. ¡ª¡ªYou want to come in? ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªThis is a good story. ¡ª¡ªI'm glad you like it. ¡ª¡ªI think I've heard it before. ¡ª¡ªYes. ¡ª¡ªPerhaps more than once? ¡ª¡ªDoctor needs to see you. ¡ª¡ª- Me? Now? - No, him. ¡ª¡ªBut he hasn't finished reading his story. ¡ª¡ªI'll read some more when I'm through with the doctor. ¡ª¡ªThis shouldn't take too long. ¡ª¡ª- All right. - Don't you go away. ¡ª¡ªI'll be right back. ¡ª¡ªWhile you waiting, maybe you'd like to play the piano for a few minutes. ¡ª¡ªYou do like that. ¡ª¡ª- I do? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ª- I don't know any tunes. - You can read music. ¡ª¡ª- No kidding? - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªWho are you? ¡ª¡ªI'm Dr. Barnwell, one of the new attending physicians. ¡ª¡ªWe haven't met, so I thought I'd examine you myself. ¡ª¡ªOkay, so I see here ¡ª¡ªthat you've had two heart attacks over the last 18 months. ¡ª¡ªYeah, minor ones, I think one was angina. ¡ª¡ª- Okay, any complications? - Nope, feel fine. ¡ª¡ªOkay, deep breath for me. ¡ª¡ªOkay, one more time. ¡ª¡ªAnd deep breath. ¡ª¡ªAnd one more. ¡ª¡ªTerrific, terrific. You still taking your medication? ¡ª¡ª- Every day, twice a day. - Good, good, good, good, good. ¡ª¡ªOkay, you can put your shirt on. ¡ª¡ªSo I understand that you read to Miss Hamilton. ¡ª¡ªYeah, to help her remember. ¡ª¡ª- Hmm. - You don't think it'll help? ¡ª¡ªNo, I don't. ¡ª¡ªShe remembers,

Doc. ¡ª¡ªI read to her and she remembers. ¡ª¡ªNot always, but she remembers. ¡ª¡ªBut senile dementia is irreversible. ¡ª¡ªIt's degenerative. ¡ª¡ªAfter a certain point, its victims don't come back. ¡ª¡ªYeah, that's what they keep telling me. ¡ª¡ªWell, I just don't want you to get your hopes up. ¡ª¡ªWell, thanks, Doc, but you know what they say? ¡ª¡ªScience goes only so far and then comes God. ¡ª¡ªThen comes God. ¡ª¡ªDamn, I forgot to turn the page for her. You through with me? ¡ª¡ªI guess they flipped that page. ¡ª¡ªNo, that she's playing by memory. ¡ª¡ªHis name is Lon Hammond, Jr. ¡ª¡ªHammond? As in Hammond Cotton? ¡ª¡ªAs in Hammond Cotton. ¡ª¡ªWell, your parents must love him. ¡ª¡ªHe's a really good man, Noah. You'd really like him. ¡ª¡ªYou love him? ¡ª¡ªYeah, I do. I love him very much. ¡ª¡ªWell, that's that. ¡ª¡ªYou marry Lon and we can be friends... ¡ª¡ªright? ¡ª¡ªRight. ¡ª¡ªAre you hungry? ¡ª¡ªDo you want to stay for dinner? ¡ª¡ªUmm... ¡ª¡ªI have to warn you, I'm a cheap drunk. ¡ª¡ªA couple more of these and you're gonna be carrying me right out of here. ¡ª¡ªWell, you go slow then, I don't want to have to take advantage of you. ¡ª¡ªYou wouldn't dare. I'm a married woman. ¡ª¡ªNot yet. ¡ª¡ªWhat? ¡ª¡ªWhy are you looking at me like that? ¡ª¡ªJust memories. ¡ª¡ªThis room. ¡ª¡ªThis-- is this where we-- ¡ª¡ªThis is the room? ¡ª¡ªHuh... ¡ª¡ª- I'm full. - Me too. ¡ª¡ª"Oh how your fingers drowse me. ¡ª¡ªYour breath falls around me like dew. ¡ª¡ªYour pulse lulls the tympans of my ears. ¡ª¡ªI feel a merge from head to foot. ¡ª¡ªDelicious enough." ¡ª¡ªIt was real, wasn't it? ¡ª¡ªYou and me. ¡ª¡ªSuch a long time ago, we were just a couple of kids. ¡ª¡ªBut we really loved each other, didn't we? ¡ª¡ªI should go. ¡ª¡ªGoodbye. ¡ª¡ªDo you think you could back tomorrow morning? ¡ª¡ªThere's some place I'd like to show you. ¡ª¡ªPlease. ¡ª¡ª- Okay. - Okay. ¡ª¡ªShe had come back into his life ¡ª¡ªIike a sudden flame, ¡ª¡ªblazing and streaming into his heart. ¡ª¡ªNoah stayed up all night ¡ª¡ªcontemplating the certain agony he knew would be his, ¡ª¡ªif he were to lose her twice. ¡ª¡ªOh, I do wish I could figure out the end of this story. ¡ª¡ªThe children are here. ¡ª¡ªChildren? ¡ª¡ª- Not yours, his. - Oh... ¡ª¡ªDo you mind? ¡ª¡ªWhy, I'd love to meet them. ¡ª¡ªCome over here. ¡ª¡ª- Hi, Daddy. - Sweetheart, how are you? ¡ª¡ª- Hi, Daddy. - Hi, Maggie. ¡ª¡ªHi, I'm Allie. ¡ª¡ª- Hi, I'm Mary Allen. - Mary Allen. ¡ª¡ª- Nice to see you. - Nice to see you. ¡ª¡ª- Hi. - Hi, Maggie. ¡ª¡ªMaggie, how are you? ¡ª¡ªHello there, honey. ¡ª¡ªHi, Davanee. ¡ª¡ª- What a pretty name. - Thank you. ¡ª¡ª- Oh... - Oh, how cute, thank you. ¡ª¡ª- And who's this? - Edmond. ¡ª¡ªHi, Edmond. ¡ª¡ªYou know, I think I'll run on up ¡ª¡ªand take my afternoon nap, all right? ¡ª¡ª- Come on, honey, let's go. - There you go. ¡ª¡ª- All right. Good. - Thank you. ¡ª¡ªI'll read some more later. ¡ª¡ªAll right, thank you. ¡ª¡ªI'm so happy to meet you all. ¡ª¡ª- Goodbye. - Bye, bye. ¡ª¡ª- Nice to meet you. - Goodbye. ¡ª¡ªBye. ¡ª¡ª- She seems good today. - She is good. ¡ª¡ªI don't know, there's something about today. ¡ª¡ªMaybe it's a day for a miracle. ¡ª¡ªDaddy, come home. ¡ª¡ªMama doesn't know us. ¡ª¡ªShe doesn't recognize you. She'll never understand. ¡ª¡ªWe miss you. ¡ª¡ªThis is crazy, you living here. ¡ª¡ªYeah, you know we'll all help with Mom. We can take shifts visiting. ¡ª¡ªLook, guys, ¡ª¡ªthat's my sweetheart in there. ¡ª¡ªI'm not leaving her. ¡ª¡ªThis is my home now. ¡ª¡ªYour mother is my home. ¡ª¡ª- Hello? - Hey, there. ¡ª¡ªHi, who is this? ¡ª¡ªIt's Lon, who were you expecting? ¡ª¡ªUh, nobody, l-- ¡ª¡ªI just-- I'm just surprised. How-- how did you find me? ¡ª¡ªWell, there's only one hotel in Seabrook. ¡ª¡ªAnd when you didn't call, I got worried. ¡ª¡ªWhere you been? Are you all right? ¡ª¡ªYou know, I feel like an idiot, 'cause l called your hotel about a hundred times. ¡ª¡ªI'm fine. ¡ª¡ªAnything you want to tell me? ¡ª¡ª- No. - No? ¡ª¡ªNo. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªLon, I love you. ¡ª¡ªCall you tomorrow? ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªNoah? ¡ª¡ªNoah! ¡ª¡ªHey, there. ¡ª¡ªWell, we better get going, the rain's coming in. ¡ª¡ª- You like it? - It's spectacular. ¡ª¡ªIt's like a dream. ¡ª¡ª- Do you want to feed them? - Yeah. ¡ª¡ªWhat are they all doing here? ¡ª¡ªI don't know. ¡ª¡ªThey're

supposed to migrate to the Guatemala sound. ¡ª¡ªThey won't stay here? ¡ª¡ªNo... ¡ª¡ªthey'll go back where they came from. ¡ª¡ªYou're different. ¡ª¡ªWhat do you mean? ¡ª¡ªJust the way you look. Everything. ¡ª¡ªYou look different too, but in a good way. ¡ª¡ªYou know, you're kinda the same though. ¡ª¡ªYeah? ¡ª¡ªYeah. ¡ª¡ªAnd you really did it. ¡ª¡ª- What? - Everything. ¡ª¡ªThe house-- ¡ª¡ªit's beautiful what you did. ¡ª¡ªWell, I promised you I would. ¡ª¡ªGreat. ¡ª¡ªWe got to go. ¡ª¡ªNoah! ¡ª¡ªWhy didn't you write me? ¡ª¡ªWhy? ¡ª¡ªIt wasn't over for me. ¡ª¡ªI waited for you for seven years. ¡ª¡ªAnd now it's too late. ¡ª¡ªI wrote you 365 letters. ¡ª¡ªI wrote you every day for a year. ¡ª¡ª- You wrote me? - Yes. ¡ª¡ªYou-- ¡ª¡ªIt wasn't over. ¡ª¡ªIt still isn't over. ¡ª¡ªOh... ¡ª¡ªYou got to be kidding me. ¡ª¡ªAll this time, that's what I'd been missing? ¡ª¡ªLet's do it again. ¡ª¡ªNoah. ¡ª¡ªNoah. ¡ª¡ªWake up. ¡ª¡ª- Wake up. - Um-mmm. ¡ª¡ª- Um-mmm. - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ª- Mm-hmm. - Mmm... ¡ª¡ª- Hi. - You're trying to kill me, woman. ¡ª¡ª- Huh-uh. - Mm-hmm. ¡ª¡ª- Mmm... - Mmm... ¡ª¡ªI need rest. ¡ª¡ªI need food so I can regain my strength. ¡ª¡ªOkay, what do you want? ¡ª¡ªUmm... umm... ¡ª¡ªsome pancakes. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªAnd bacon. ¡ª¡ª- Okay. - And some chicken. ¡ª¡ªShe's the one, isn't she? ¡ª¡ªCan I meet her? ¡ª¡ªI'd really like to meet her. ¡ª¡ªI don't know if that's a good idea, Martha. ¡ª¡ªSo this is Martha? ¡ª¡ªHi, I'm Allie. ¡ª¡ªI've heard a lot about you. ¡ª¡ªI've heard a lot about you, too. ¡ª¡ªYou want to come in? ¡ª¡ªAre you sure? ¡ª¡ªYeah, yeah, Noah's just saying how hungry he was. ¡ª¡ªAnd, you know, you could put on a pot of tea. ¡ª¡ªCome on in. ¡ª¡ªCome on in. ¡ª¡ªIt was nice meeting you, Martha. ¡ª¡ª- Nice meeting you too. - Goodbye. ¡ª¡ªTake care. ¡ª¡ªShe's sensational. She really is. ¡ª¡ªI'm really glad that I came, Noah. ¡ª¡ªI'd forgotten what it's like. ¡ª¡ªFor the first time since I lost Richard, ¡ª¡ªI feel like I've got something to look forward to. ¡ª¡ªMmm... ¡ª¡ªLon is on his way here. ¡ª¡ªI'm afraid your father spilled the beans about Noah, ¡ª¡ªand when Lon didn't hear from you again last night, ¡ª¡ªhe decided to come. ¡ª¡ªWell, that's great. That's just terrific. ¡ª¡ªYou, me, Noah and Lon, one big happy family. ¡ª¡ªTell me about the letters, Mother. ¡ª¡ª- Is it true? - Yes. ¡ª¡ªYou watched me cry myself to sleep ¡ª¡ªfor months and months ¡ª¡ªand you never said anything. ¡ª¡ª- How could you do that? - I'm sorry. ¡ª¡ª- You're sorry? You're sorry? - Yes, I am-- I am sorry. ¡ª¡ªBecause of you, my entire life is ruined! ¡ª¡ªOkay, yes, I stole your letters. ¡ª¡ªIt was wrong, but stop being dramatic ¡ª¡ªand at least take some of the responsibility. ¡ª¡ªYou came down here. You knew what you were doing. ¡ª¡ªYou knew this would happen. ¡ª¡ªOh, so now I'm a tramp? ¡ª¡ªYou are unbelievable. ¡ª¡ªUnbelievable. ¡ª¡ªGo on and get some clothes on. ¡ª¡ªLet's take a drive. ¡ª¡ªLet's take a drive? Why would I want to go anywhere with you? ¡ª¡ªBecause I might know you a little better than you think. ¡ª¡ªAnd I don't want you waking up one morning ¡ª¡ªthinking that if you'd known everything, ¡ª¡ªyou might have done something different. ¡ª¡ªWhat are we doing here, Mama? ¡ª¡ªDo you see that man, there? ¡ª¡ªMm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªDon't look like it now, but 25 years ago-- ¡ª¡ªoh my goodness, he was really something. ¡ª¡ªWe were out of our minds in love, let me tell you. ¡ª¡ªWow. ¡ª¡ªWell, naturally, your grandfather was furious, so... ¡ª¡ªwe decided to run away. ¡ª¡ªWe didn't even make the next town before the police picked us up. ¡ª¡ªBut that was then. ¡ª¡ªYou know sometimes when I'm in the area, ¡ª¡ªI just stop here and I watch him, ¡ª¡ªtrying to picture how different my life might have been. ¡ª¡ªI want you to know that I love your father. ¡ª¡ª- Mama, I'm-- - No, goddamn it, this is important ¡ª¡ªand you need to hear it. I do. ¡ª¡ªHe is a wonderful man. ¡ª¡ªHe is good to me and I don't deserve him. ¡ª¡ªI love him, Allie, I do, I love him. ¡ª¡ªI know. ¡ª¡ªOh, God. ¡ª¡ªOh, this is just very embarrassing. ¡ª¡ªOh, I'm a stupid woman. ¡ª¡ªLook at me, the big old bawl-bag. ¡ª¡ªIt's crazy. ¡ª¡ªI don't even know who that person is. ¡ª¡ªOh, boy. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªAllie! ¡ª¡ªHere. ¡ª¡ªI hope you make the right choice.

¡ª¡ªInteresting morning? ¡ª¡ªYeah. ¡ª¡ªLon's here in town. ¡ª¡ªHe's here? ¡ª¡ªYeah, we saw his car on the way, ¡ª¡ªat the hotel. ¡ª¡ªHuh. ¡ª¡ªI see you got my letters. ¡ª¡ªFinally. ¡ª¡ªWhat are you going to do, Al? ¡ª¡ªI don't know. ¡ª¡ªWe're back to that? ¡ª¡ªAre we back there? ¡ª¡ªWhat about the past couple of days? They happened, you know? ¡ª¡ªI know that they happened, and they were wonderful, ¡ª¡ªbut they were also very irresponsible. ¡ª¡ªI have a fiance waiting for me at a hotel, ¡ª¡ªwho's going to be crushed ¡ª¡ª- when he finds out. - So you make love to me ¡ª¡ªand then you go back to your husband? ¡ª¡ªWas that your plan? ¡ª¡ªWas that a test that I didn't pass?! ¡ª¡ªNo, I made a promise to a man, he gave me a ring and I gave him my word. ¡ª¡ªAnd your word is shot to hell now, ¡ª¡ª- don't you think? - I don't-- I don't know. ¡ª¡ªI'll find out when I talk to him. ¡ª¡ªThis is not about keeping your promise, ¡ª¡ªand it's not about following your heart, ¡ª¡ªit's about security. ¡ª¡ª- What is that supposed to mean? - Money! ¡ª¡ª- What are you ta-- - He's got a lot of money. ¡ª¡ª- Now I hate you, you smug bastard. - Well, I hate you. ¡ª¡ª- If you leave here, I hate you. - You wou-- ¡ª¡ª- Hate you if you leave here. - Have you been paying attention ¡ª¡ªto anything that's happening? ¡ª¡ªI guess not. I think I must have misread ¡ª¡ª- all of those signals. - I guess you did. ¡ª¡ªYou're bored. You're bored and you know it. ¡ª¡ªYou wouldn't be here if there wasn't something missing. ¡ª¡ªYou arrogant son of a bitch! ¡ª¡ªWould you just stay with me? ¡ª¡ªStay with you? What for? ¡ª¡ª- Look at us, we're already fighting. - Well, that's what we do. ¡ª¡ªWe fight. ¡ª¡ªYou tell me when I'm being an arrogant son of a bitch ¡ª¡ªand I tell you when you're being a pain in the ass. ¡ª¡ªWhich you are 99% of the time. ¡ª¡ªI'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. ¡ª¡ªThey have like a two second rebound rate ¡ª¡ªand you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing. ¡ª¡ªSo, what? ¡ª¡ªSo it's not gonna be easy. It's gonna be really hard. ¡ª¡ªAnd we're gonna have to work at this every day, ¡ª¡ªbut I want to do that, because I want you. ¡ª¡ªI want all of you, forever, you and me, every day. ¡ª¡ªWill you do something for me? ¡ª¡ªPlease? Will you just picture your life for me? ¡ª¡ª30 years from now, 40 years from now, what's it look like? ¡ª¡ªIf it's with that guy, go! Go! ¡ª¡ªI lost you once, I think I could do it again, ¡ª¡ªif I thought it's what you really wanted. ¡ª¡ªBut don't you take the easy way out. ¡ª¡ªWhat easy way? There is no easy way, ¡ª¡ªno matter what I do, somebody gets hurt. ¡ª¡ªWould you stop thinking about what everyone wants. ¡ª¡ªStop thinking about what I want, what he wants, ¡ª¡ªwhat your parents want. What do you want? ¡ª¡ª- What do you want? - It's not that simple. ¡ª¡ª- What do you want? - It's not-- ¡ª¡ªGoddamn it, what do you want? ¡ª¡ªI have to go. ¡ª¡ªMy dearest Allie, ¡ª¡ªI couldn't sleep last night because I know that it's over between us. ¡ª¡ªI'm not bitter anymore, because I know that what we had was real. ¡ª¡ªAnd if in some distant place in the future ¡ª¡ªwe see each other in our new lives, ¡ª¡ªI'll smile at you with joy ¡ª¡ªand remember how we spent a summer beneath the trees ¡ª¡ªIearning from each other and growing in love. ¡ª¡ªThe best love is the kind that awakens the soul ¡ª¡ªand makes us reach for more, ¡ª¡ªthat plants a fire in our hearts ¡ª¡ªand brings peace to our minds. ¡ª¡ªAnd that's what you've given me. ¡ª¡ªThat's what I'd hoped to give to you forever. ¡ª¡ªI love you. I'll be seeing you, Noah. ¡ª¡ªIt's beautiful. It's a beautiful story. ¡ª¡ªYes, it is. ¡ª¡ªI don't know why, but it makes me feel sad. ¡ª¡ªI know you feel lost right now, ¡ª¡ªbut don't worry, ¡ª¡ªnothing is ever lost, nor can be lost. ¡ª¡ªThe body sluggish, aged, cold, ¡ª¡ªthe embers left ¡ª¡ªfrom earlier fires. ¡ª¡ªshall duly flame again. ¡ª¡ªDid you write that? ¡ª¡ªNo, that was Walt Whitman. ¡ª¡ªI think I knew him. ¡ª¡ªI think you did. ¡ª¡ªShall we go in? I'm feeling a little chilly. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªThank you. ¡ª¡ªWell, who did all of this? ¡ª¡ªI did, with a little help from my friends on the nursing staff. ¡ª¡ªOh... ¡ª¡ªI've never seen anything so beautiful. ¡ª¡ªNeither have l. ¡ª¡ªShall we? ¡ª¡ª- Some grape juice?

- I'd love it. ¡ª¡ªAh, so many pills. How sick are you? ¡ª¡ªThe sickness has become a relative term for me. ¡ª¡ªI think of it now as more a general wearing out process. ¡ª¡ªTo you. ¡ª¡ªSo what happened? ¡ª¡ªIn the story, ¡ª¡ªwhich one did she choose? ¡ª¡ªOkay, ¡ª¡ªthe way I see it, I got three choices. ¡ª¡ªOne, I can shoot him. ¡ª¡ªTwo, I can kick the crap out of him. ¡ª¡ªOr three... I leave you. ¡ª¡ªWell, all that's no good. ¡ª¡ªYou see, 'cause... ¡ª¡ªnone of those options get me you. ¡ª¡ªAnd in spite of everything, ¡ª¡ªI love you. ¡ª¡ªI love you too. ¡ª¡ªI meant what I said when I gave you that ring. ¡ª¡ªI did too. ¡ª¡ªI did too. It's just that when I'm-- ¡ª¡ªwhen I'm with Noah I feel like one person ¡ª¡ªand when I'm with you I feel like someone totally different. ¡ª¡ªLook, it's normal not to forget your first love. ¡ª¡ªI love you, Allie, ¡ª¡ªbut I want you for myself. ¡ª¡ªI don't want to have to convince my fiance ¡ª¡ªthat she should be with me. ¡ª¡ªYou don't have to. ¡ª¡ªI already know I should be with you. ¡ª¡ªAnd they lived happily ever after. ¡ª¡ªWho? Who did? ¡ª¡ªOh yes, ¡ª¡ªof course. ¡ª¡ªI remember now. ¡ª¡ªIt was us. ¡ª¡ª- It was us. It was us. - Oh, my darling. ¡ª¡ªOh my sweetheart. ¡ª¡ªI love you so much. ¡ª¡ªOh, my baby. ¡ª¡ªNoah, Noah. ¡ª¡ªI love you, Angel. ¡ª¡ª- What happened to me? - Nothing. ¡ª¡ªYou just went away for a little while. ¡ª¡ª- How much time do we have? - I'm not sure. ¡ª¡ªLast time it was no more than five minutes. ¡ª¡ªOkay. ¡ª¡ªHey, I brought along an old friend. ¡ª¡ª¡ò I'll be seeing you ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò In all the old familiar places ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò That this heart of mine embraces ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò All day through ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò In that small cafe... ¡ò ¡ª¡ª- How are the children? - Oh, they're fine. ¡ª¡ªNow, they were here today-- ¡ª¡ªLittle Noah, Davanee too. ¡ª¡ªThey're getting so big. ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò...carousel, the chestnut trees ¡ò - Oh, boy. ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò The wishing well... ¡ò - How fast the time goes. ¡ª¡ªMm-hmm. ¡ª¡ªIt flies right on by. ¡ª¡ªOh yes, it does. ¡ª¡ª¡ò In every lovely summer's day... ¡ò ¡ª¡ªWill you tell them I love them? ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò That's light and gay ¡ò - Of course I will. ¡ª¡ª- ¡ò I'll always ¡ò - And that I'm sorry. ¡ª¡ª¡ò Think of you that way ¡ò ¡ª¡ª- I'll tell them, sweetheart. - ¡ò I'll find you ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò In the morning sun ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò And when the night is new ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò I'll be looking at the moon ¡ò ¡ò But I'll be seeing you... ¡ò ¡ª¡ªRemember that story you were reading to me? ¡ª¡ªWhy, yes. ¡ª¡ªDo you think that I could be her tonight? ¡ª¡ªWould that be all right? ¡ª¡ªYou know what we could do? ¡ª¡ªMaybe we could get a car and we could go for a ride. ¡ª¡ªWhy could get out of here and just go someplace, you want to? ¡ª¡ªI don't think so. Not tonight, darling. ¡ª¡ªCome on, why not? ¡ª¡ªWait a minute... ¡ª¡ªwhy did you call me darling? I don't know you. ¡ª¡ªWhat's going on here? Am I supposed to know you? ¡ª¡ª- Allie... Allie, sweetheart. - No, no, no! ¡ª¡ªHey, Allie, I love you, stay with me, don't leave-- ¡ª¡ªNo! ¡ª¡ª- Who are you? - I'm Noah, I'm Noah and you're Allie. ¡ª¡ªWhat do you want? What are you doing here? ¡ª¡ª- Come on, baby. - Don't come near me! ¡ª¡ª- Don't you come near me! - Allie-- Allie, l-- ¡ª¡ªHelp!

But I'll be seeing you ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò I'll be seeing you ¡ò ¡ª¡ª¡ò I'll be seeing you. ¡ò ¡ª¡ªMorning, Mr. Calhoun. ¡ª¡ªMr. Calhoun? ¡ª¡ªCall Dr. Von Pettit and USC, okay? ¡ª¡ªI've got no BP, I got no pulse.
