Eat Pray Love Page #2

Synopsis: Liz Gilbert (Roberts) had everything a modern woman is supposed to dream of having - a husband, a house, a successful career - yet like so many others, she found herself lost, confused, and searching for what she really wanted in life. Newly divorced and at a crossroads, Gilbert steps out of her comfort zone, risking everything to change her life, embarking on a journey around the world that becomes a quest for self-discovery. In her travels, she discovers the true pleasure of nourishment by eating in Italy; the power of prayer in India, and, finally and unexpectedly, the inner peace and balance of true love in Bali.

...and not stop running

until l reached Greenland.

lnstead, l made a decision.

To pray.

You know, like, to God.

And it was such a foreign concept to

me, that l swear l almost began with:

"l'm a big fan of your work."

Hello, God?

Nice to finally meet you. l....

I am sorry l've never spoken

directly to you before...

...but...

...l hope l've expressed my...

...ample gratitude for all

the blessings you've given...

...to me in my life.

I'm in serious trouble.

I don't know what to do.

I need an answer.

Please, tell me what to do.

Oh, God, help me, please.

Tell me what to do and l'll do it.

Go back to bed, Liz.

I don't wanna go to Aruba.

I don't wanna be married.

You know, there's a whole

divorce section downstairs.

-"Pepper grinder."

-She's having...

-...a nervous breakdown.

-This is what girls do.

-She's processing.

-Why doesn't she get drunk or laid?

That's what l would do if you left me.

No, you wouldn't.

-No, I wouldn't.

-She moved out, she filed for divorce.

They were together eight years.

She's got no home.

"Legacy."

Every word in Italian is like a truffle.

A magic trick.

Honey, l get it.

It's your life raft right now.

When Andy and l broke up

for two weeks, l bought a loom.

A frigging loom.

And he tried to start a microbrewery.

I don't know how you guys

aren't sick of me now. I'm sick of me.

Are you kidding me?

We love having you.

It's kind of like having

a writer in residence.

But you are a writer.

You should be writing something.

Maybe I could write about a woman

who goes to Italy to learn ltalian.

Call it

Carbohydrates and Conjugations.

I'll start looking for a place.

-l'm falling in love with you.

-l'm not who you think I am.

I'm just your fantasy.

No, that's bullshit. You're real.

Your scars, your talent.

The fact that

I own a piece-of-crap bar...

...and you accept that

that's all l'm gonna do.

Okay, this sucks.

-l second that.

-Don't be rude.

I love your pain.

And l love that when we're together,

I can make it go away.

-Oh, he's good.

-You're love...

-He's hot, there's a difference.

-...is like a hot panini.

And when I look into your eyes,

I hear dolphins clapping.

I did not write that line.

Here's what he doesn't know yet.

I disappear into the person l love.

I am the permeable membrane.

If l love you, you can have it all.

My money, my time, my body...

...my dog, my dog's money.

I will assume your debts

and project upon you...

...all sorts of nifty qualities you've

never actually cultivated in yourself.

I will give you all this and more...

...until l am so exhausted

and depleted...

...the only way l can recover...

...is by becoming infatuated
