The Passenger Page #3

---

All right, thanks. Go to lunch now.

So...

I'm glad you dropped by.

What do you think of my idea?

- A portrait of David?

- Yeah.

Why do you want to do it?

- A way to remember him.

- Yes?

Besides, I think it might help in

pulling this material together.

You don't seem very enthusiastic.

Oh, it's not that.

It's just that, you know,

reporters, interviews...

David really wasn't so different.

I was there, you know,

that interview.

I went to see him,

but only stayed for one day.

I don't mean to sound disloyal...

... but he accepted too much.

We hadn't been very close

the last couple of years.

I don't know why I'm talking

like this.

I'm sorry.

I hope you make your film.

- Do you love him?

- Yes, I think so.

Just didn't make each other

very happy.

There is no fighting anymore.

The situation is practically normal.

All that remain is a couple

of hundred gangs...

...in the hands

of some common bandits.

Will the opposition party be allowed

to nominate candidates...

...at the next election?

There is no opposition.

We are a unified nation.

- Do you think...?

- I think this country...

...is on the road to a great future.

- David!

- Yeah.

- Half an hour.

- Okay, see you later.

- You didn't like that, did you?

- No.

You involve yourself in real situations,

but you've got no real dialogue.

- Why didn't you tell that man he's a...?

- A liar?

- Yes.

- I know.

But those are the rules.

I don't like to see you keep them.

Then why did you come?

Yes. Hello, Avis?

This is Mr. Robertson.

Oh, yes, hello, how are you?

Yes, but I'm not going to Debrovnik.

No. No, I'm going to Barcelona.

That's right. For the rest of my life.

Same to you. Thank you.

Goodbye.

Hey.

Is beautiful.

My name is Robertson.

I've been waiting for someone

who hasn't arrived.

I've seen so many of them grow up.

Other people look at the children...

...and they all imagine a new world.

But me...

...when I watch them,

I just see the same old tragedy...

...begin all over again.

They can't get away from us.

Is boring.

Where did you learn

to speak English?

You want me to tell you my life?

- Yes.

- All right.

One day very far from here...

- commissioned officers

are charged under M. A...

- I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you.

- I know.

What about David's things?

Have they arrived yet?

No. They called to say it'd take

about a week, at least.

- Usual muddle.

- Yes, I know.

They asked if I knew someone

called Robertson.

Evidently he stayed at same hotel

as David did.

- Can you find him?

- Possibly.

- I'd like to talk to him.

- So would I.

So why don't you try

and forget all about it?

Yeah. I know it's stupid.
