---

WELL, DO YOU WAN TO TALK ABOUT THAT?

NO.

ALL RIGHT.

QUITTER.

WHAT?

( laughs )

WHAT IS SHE LIKE?

MOLLIE?

MOLLIE, YES.

DESCRIBE HER FOR ME.

UH, DIDN'T SHE SEND YOU

PICTURES OF HERSELF?

FLAT LITTLE PICTURES.

SO, WHAT DO YOU

WANT FROM ME?

ALL THE BITS OF COLORED GLASS,

THE FLESH AND BONE.

I DIDN'T COME HERE

TO TALK ABOUT MOLLIE.

OF COURSE YOU DID.

NO, I DIDN'T.

SHE'S THE ONLY THING

THAT WE HAVE IN COMMON.

WITHOUT THA WHAT DO WE HAVE?

THE WEATHER- IS THAT WHA YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT, JOHN?

THE WEATHER?

SURE, YEAH.

THAT'D BE A GREAT START.

I HAVEN'T BEEN OUTSIDE,

REMEMBER?

I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING

ABOUT THE WEATHER.

BESIDES, YOU GO WHAT YOU CAME FOR.

NOW, IT'S MY TURN.

I CAME HERE TO TALK.

YOU CAME HERE:

TO PLAY THE HERO.

HUH, HERE I AM.

I'M STILL KICKING.

NOW, I WANT MOLLIE.

HER LIFE FOR MINE.

IT'S A FAIR TRADE,

I SHOULD THINK.

PIPER, I CAN' GIVE YOU MOLLIE.

WELL, THEN GET OUT.

ISN'T IT ENOUGH

THAT SHE SENT-

NO, NO, NO.

I SAID GET OUT!

OKAY. ALL RIGHT. I CAN LEAVE

OR I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT MOLLIE.

WHAT CAN YOU TELL ME?

YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU

DON'T KNOW HER AT ALL.

MAYBE SHE'S THE MEANING

THAT YOU CAN'T CATCH.

HURT, DIDN'T IT?

I TOLD YOU.

IT'S LIKE LITTLE BITS

OF GLASS, THEY ARE.

WHAT IS IT EXACTLY

THAT YOU WANT ME TO SAY?

EVERYTHING.

IT'S TOO MUCH.

I HAVE A FEELING IT WON'T BE

NEARLY ENOUGH.

NO, I MEAN,

I DON'T KNOW...

HOW CAN YOU:

PUT ANYONE INTO WORDS?

THEY SEEM TO SMALL

AND SHE TOO LARGE.

YEAH.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

THEN IT'S REALLY-

IT'S QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

IT'S THE WORDS

THAT ARE TOO... BIG.

THOUGH, I RATHER DOUB THAT SHE'S TOO SMALL.

YOU TAKE, UM...

THE WORD "PRETTY"...

IS SHE? PRETTY?

YES, SHE'S PRETTY.

THAT CAN MEAN SO MANY

DIFFERENT THINGS.

IS SHE ONLY ONE KIND OF PRETTY?

HER KIND OF PRETTY.

IT'S THE WORDS.

THEY'RE TOO BIG,

TOO BROAD.

TOO AVERAGE.

AND I DON'T THINK

SHE'S AVERAGE, DO YOU?

MOLLIE WAS NEVER AVERAGE.

SO, SHE FITS QUITE

NICELY INTO THE WORDS.

WELL, IT'S TOO EASY

TO LOSE HER IN THEM.

SO, WHAT DO YOU WANT?

BE SPECIFIC.

ABOUT WHAT?

THE WAY THAT SHE WALKS,

HER LAUGH...

THE WAY SHE SMELLS.

ANYTHING.

COME.

SIT.

YOU SPEAK, I LISTEN.

THE WAY SHE WALKS?

YOU REALLY WANT ME TO TALK

ABOUT THE WAY MY SISTER WALKS?

COME ON, PIPER.

I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT.

I JUST DROVE...

CAN'T WE JUST TALK?

ABOUT SOMETHING ELSE?

SOMETHING LESS...

I DON'T KNOW.

SOMETHING...

PRESENT?

IS-IS THAT THE COMPUTER

YOU USE TO CHAT WITH MOLLIE?

YOU SIT RIGHT THERE WHEN YOU'RE...

YOU DON'T WANT TO TALK

ABOUT YOURSELF, THAT'S FINE. REALLY.

BUT THAT'S THE ONLY

REASON I'M HERE.

I MEAN, WE COULD

TALK ABOUT ME.

IF YOU'D LIKE.

BORN IN ARLINGTON OUTSIDE D.C.

IN THE SUBURBS.
