Every Thing Will Be Fine Page #4

Does it usually go according

to plan for you?

Well, it depends.

- What's your work?

- Uh, I make illustrations.

For magazines, catalogues, books.

So you're an artist?

No. My drawings are commissioned.

They're... made to order.

You also work at home then?

I need to work at home, for the boys.

Is that Christopher?

Can you wait just a second?

I'll... I'll just check on him.

Yeah, sure.

Hello?

Hmm.

Are you there?

Yes.

Hmm.

You don't have kids, do you?

No, is it obvious?

Yes, it is.

By choice?

No... no.

No, I... I can't have kids.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, just wasn't in the cards for me.

Something you learn to live with.

Thank you for coming.

There's something I'd like for us to do.

A little ceremony.

Do you like Faulkner?

Um...

I don't like him and I don't not like him.

Uh, most...

Writers don't mean much to me.

I knew you'd say that.

I think I know you a little already.

They shouldn't have been

outside anymore.

It was getting late.

I should have taken them in.

But I... I couldn't put that book down.

He writes too well.

I put a... name-tag

on his jacket the day before.

I shouldn't have done that.

Don't think that way.

There's no connection.

How do you know that?

I just do.

It's only in your mind.

I shouldn't have done it.

Shh.

This is how he remembers that day?

Mm-hmm.

I should go before he wakes.

I won't see you again?

Thank you for asking me to come.

He'll wake up soon.

You should get going.

Hey.

- Hi.

- Hi. Isn't mummy coming?

Umm-umm. We're gonna go meet her.

Uh-huh, Mina.

This way.

- Aren't we going home?

- Mm-hmm.

Where are we going then?

- So many questions.

- Are we going to see a film?

- Don't you like surprises?

- What does it start with?

- What do you mean?

- The surprise.

What's the first letter?

Uh, F.

One more letter.

Mm... it'll be too easy.

One more, please!

Alright, I'll give you

a letter from the middle.

- Okay.

- G.

- I know what it is.

- Oh?

What is it?

Alright.

We'll just see if you're right.

The teacher said that you

were in the paper.

Did she? And what else did she say?

She asked me if I was proud

to have such a famous dad.

Mm-hmm. And what did you say?

That you're not my dad.

Can you see what she's reading?

It's your book, Tomas!

I'm sure she wants your autograph.

No.

Hey, no. Hey!

Mina!

Hi, do you like that book?

That's the author over there.

Do you want his autograph?

Oh! Yes! I would love that.

She does want your autograph!

- I'm sorry about this.

- She wants an autograph.

I would love you to sign the book.

Okay. Sure. No problem.

Hey, ta-da!

Tomas has been signing his new

book in a park.

- Wow!

- It's the first time.
