Final Cut: The Making and Unmaking of Heaven's Gate Page #2

---

Maybe another time.

Yeah, maybe some other time.

Put it in archives very gently.

- Sure.

- All right.

Delila,

is suicide under self-help?

What are you doing here?

I just wanted to talk.

I'm busy.

Store's still open.

It's the 11:
30 rush.

Books are flying off the shelf.

We close in 20 minutes.

This is exciting.

You've never had me over before.

You've always

wanted to see my work.

Well, you're always working.

I'm curious about

what takes up all your time.

Guillotine.

You're like a mortician...

or a priest...

or a taxidermist.

All of them.

I mean...

you get to see life upon life.

Most of us get only one,

if that.

What are people's lives like?

Do they make any sense?

It all seems so massive

and so random.

Have you ever been

to a Rememory?

No. Well...

Once, a few years ago.

Whose?

My ex-boyfriend.

But I couldn't take it.

I didn't stay.

Why not?

Because it just wasn't...

It wasn't him.

And I wanted

to remember him my way.

Sit down.

Thank you.

It's like

you read my mind, Alan.

I have this recurring dream

where I'm aging backwards.

Wow.

What about all the bits

in between?

It's a miniature.

Concise, symmetrical.

That's the way the world

looks to me...

the way I see it.

How do you do this?

It's what I was meant to do.

You were meant

to live your own life, too.

- Hey.

- Hey.

The house was big...

enormous...

like this one.

We didn't care

whose house it was.

It felt dangerous to be there.

It felt exciting.

I can see the grass.

I can hear it

crunching beneath our feet.

And then the sprinklers

came on...

all around us...

and we ran.

I remember that

like it was yesterday.

Do you recall any moments

with your daughter?

This isn't long ago.

We were watching Isabel

in a school talent show.

She was wonderful that night.

I think Charles and I

both felt...

what an amazing thing

a family was.

We felt it together.

She was up there on that stage.

Oh, goodness.

Excuse me.

I know this is very hard,

Mrs. Bannister...

but it's important.

It's the foundation

of a cutter's work.

I need you and your family...

to help me choose

those moments you want to keep.

I won't be able to do

your husband justice...

if I don't understand him

through you.

I heard you were the best...

that you would know

how to handle Charles.

My husband was a great man,

Mr. Hakman.

He deserves to be remembered

as a great man.

After my initial cut...

I will need

to speak with Isabel.

Is that necessary?

There's nothing that

any one of you can tell me...

that I won't know very soon.

Of course. Yes.

Rom.

Please call EYE Tech storage.

Tell them Mr. Hakman

will be dropping by.

Very good, ma'am.
