Nights in Rodanthe Page #3

We might be getting back together.

I'm sorry, I just- It's weird not knowing

if you're married or not.

It's all right. I don't know where I live.

Well, you didn't come here for the beach.

No, I came here to talk to somebody.

-More wine?

-Yeah, sure.

Oh, can I...?

-You're not having any?

-No.

Well, why not?

So if you're not Jean, who are you?

[LAUGHS]

I'm sorry, I'm Adrienne Willis.

-Adrienne.

-Adrienne Taylor.

I was Adrienne Taylor, and...

Adrienne.

[CLEARS THRO AT]

Well, uh, do you have kids?

Yeah. Yeah, I have a son.

He's a doctor.

-Really?

-Yeah.

Well, you must have done

something right.

Yeah, well, not me, my wife.

Ex-wife.

I can't take any credit.

Oh, that's great. Thank you.

-What is that?

-That glow?

-Yeah.

-It's called Teach's Light.

Captain Teach, the pirate, swore he'd put

his enemies to an everlasting fire.

That glow's supposed to be

their bodies burning.

It's not considered a good omen.

Thanks for warning me.

It's from a folktale

my dad used to tell me.

He loved telling stories.

And he had a beautiful eye.

It's because of him

that I went to art school.

-So you're an artist.

-I used to be.

Yeah.

He died a few months ago.

I'm sorry.

That's just been my year, you know.

Dad died and...

...my husband...

...and my daughter decided

she hated me.

I don't know why I thought

things were gonna get easier.

Yeah, we all did.

I think I'm gonna go in now.

-I think I'll go for a walk.

-Okay.

-Good night.

-Night.

[PIPES CREAKING]

Danny still up?

I told him that we'd talk every night.

Aw. Well, don't wake him.

Did he do his inhaler before he fell asleep?

Jack, I told you.

You're gonna have to go in there,

wake him up and give him his medicine.

[PIPES RUMBLING]

Yes, I have been thinking about it.

Of course I've been thinking about it.

I'm not ready to talk about it.

Jack, please, let's have that conversation

when I get back, like I said.

Can I just say good night to Amanda?

Okay. Okay. Hold on.

[MOUTHS]

No. No.

Ade, she's out, iPod on and everything.

She's asleep.

Really?

Well, let Miss Amanda know

that I know she's not asleep...

...and that I love her very, very much.

Ade, I love you.

I love you.

Let's just say good night. Okay?

Good night.

[SPEAKING QUIETLY IN SPANISH]

MAN:

Dad.

What happened? Are you okay?

We're doctors,

we can't control everything all the time.

I'm asking if you're all right.

This is my last surgery.

I don't have time for this.

Look after yourself.

Jen, I'm...

Look, your mother and I,

we're worried about you.

We just wanna make sure

that you're safe.

Since when?

Since when is it my mother and you?

Since when is it "we"?

All right. Okay.
