We have a saying, Edward.

"Mecka lecka halava beem sala beem."

What is that? Bean salad?

What does that mean?

I don't know what it means. It's very old.

I feel like I'm making progress.|I feel more secure.

A lot more secure.|Do I seem more secure?

You look great. Whatever the doctors|are doing, it's working.

You got colour in your face. I'm in love.

They say two weeks here|changes your entire life.

-When are two weeks up?|-Six and a half months ago.

I feel I'm getting close to something.

I can see that.

Did you watch Larry King last night?

I was in the isolation tank. No TV in there.

The reason I bring it up is Gwen was on.

She took kind of a beating.

She did, did she?

You, young lady,|are nobody without Eddie!

Nobody likes you!

Never, never go anywhere without Eddie.|You're nothing.

You're nothing!

Get her out of here. Now! Nothing!

I'm so sorry, Larry.

I guess she got what she deserved.

Why are you doing here? This isn't you.

Kiss Gandhi goodbye|and get ready for the junket.

I won't go! I'm not ready.

The studio and the movie need you.

I don't care about the studio or the movie.|How is it? ls it good?

I've only seen a bit in the beginning.|It's fantastic.

Hold it up to your ear,|you'll scream "Oscar."

-I'm telling you.|-No, I'm not going.

Gwen will be there.

You want to see her?

-No. It's too soon.|-It's a year and a half.

Confront her. Get it over with.|She fell in love with another guy.

It happens.

Never to me, but if it did, I wouldn't|spend my life hiding like some p*ssy!

I'm not a p*ssy.|I'm in the middle of my treatment.

This is serious stuff.|My wellness guide won't let me just go.

-You can go.|-Are you sure?

Two nights ago you said I was the flower that fell into the|stream, but a branch is blocking my way.

Do you take that back?

You read too much into what I say.|Don't listen to my words, listen to your own heart.

-I'm the flower. I don't want to go.|-You're a funny man. We'll miss you here.

-Don't forget to be grateful.|-I'm grateful.

I'm grateful for the sun,|for the stars in the sky.

I'd be grateful if we could get going.

-Why don't you wait in the car?|-Okay.

I am the flower.

I'm the flower.

-He kills me with his humour.|-Does he?

Listen, chief, I want to thank you|for all your help.

-You'll get the car within 10 days.|-Convertible.

Convertible, leather interior, fully loaded.|You'll enjoy it.

He'll get through this okay, right?

Life is a cookie.

I'll take that as a "yes."

Okay. All right.

Come on, Eddie!

All right, buddy.

Ready to go? Here we go.

-Does Gwen know I'm going to the junket?|-It was her idea.

Absolutely. She's really excited.
