You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger Page #3
- No.
- I handed it in yesterday.
- Well done.
No, I'm a nervous wreck.
I don't know what I'll do
if it doesn't make it.
- Come on.
- No, I don't know what I'll do.
I'll be chauffeuring
- Rubbish!
- All my confidence is gone.
Because of you, partially,
my confidence is gone.
Hello?
Hi, Mum. Come in.
Why does she have to
come over here so often?
I mean, it's once, twice. It's endless!
My nerves are shot from waiting.
I know. She can't stand to be alone.
And, you know, I worry about her, Roy.
She's taken to talking to herself
a bit, lately.
And you encourage her
with that phony mind-reader.
Well, okay, yes!
Cristal is a fake. We know that, but...
Thank God she buys into it,
and it gives her peace of mind,
and don't you try
and spoil it for her, please.
Okay, look, I'm not gonna say anything.
I just don't think you help her
by going into that garbage...
about foretelling her future.
She needs medicine, not illusions.
No, not if the illusions
work better than the medicine.
- Here I am, darling.
- Hi, Mum!
I've just come from a session with Cristal.
That woman is uncanny.
I know you have
a cold, scientific background, Roy.
Yes, I have a tough time
with mumbo-jumbo.
Roy, please!
Look, if you feel better, then it's just...
I don't know.
We discussed you.
She was very positive about your future.
Though, to be perfectly candid,
she didn't see it in literature.
Well, that's too bad.
Let's hope she's channeling
the wrong spirits.
She's rarely wrong.
Mum, Roy just handed in
his new novel this week.
He's on tenterhooks while they read it.
Well, I'm only saying
- Cristal said...
- No, I don't care what Cristal said. Okay?
Mum, nobody's infallible! Please! Let it...
I know she's always right with your future,
but it doesn't mean she knows Roy's.
She's never even met him!
She was very complimentary
just not necessarily as a writer.
Not at this point in time.
She did say one day,
perhaps, with maturity...
Oh, by the way,
could I have another glove of yours?
I'm sorry, but she lost the first one.
What glove?
Did you give her my missing glove? Jesus!
Did he take the book home with him?
But no clue whether he could
get to it this weekend?
Okay. No, I'll call back.
Okay, now let's go back
and take a look at Alfie Shepridge.
Since his divorce,
Alfie Shepridge did not exactly find himself
leading the thirtysomething life
he envisioned in his new digs.
Friends fixed him up with one or two women
they thought might be appropriate.
Always that word...
But it was not what he had in mind.
