Arthur Newman Page #4

The Atlantic Ocean.

The police are searching for

him, but so far, they have

found nothing, and they've...

Crawley they're very concerned.

Yeah, well, nice to

meet you, I guess.

Hey, Charlotte!

Charlotte!

Why are you standing in the

middle of the street, Arthur?

I thought you'd...

Look.

OK!

Come on, Arthur!

Let's follow them!

Why don't we just return the

veil and get out of here?

Oh, they're leaving.

Let's just give it to them.

No, no, no.

Wait, wait.

They're going on their

honeymoon, Arthur!

Oh, that's very exciting.

They are seniors, Mike.

I'm not sure "exciting" is the...

Shhh.

Mike.

Mike, I don't like this.

Mike, what we're doing

is returning the veil.

Why don't you just...

just leave it on the porch?

Shh!

Mike?

Mike, just set it on the

kitchen table and... and get

out of there.

Mike?

Mike, what are you doing?

Get down here!

Mike.

Right now!

Eugene, git on up here

and act like a husband.

Now, that is...

inappro...

take that thing off right now.

You take it off.

It's your honeymoon.

Come 'ere, Gene.

Lie down beside me.

Mike, cut it out, really.

It's... it's wrong.

Wrong?

Is love wrong on our weddin' day?

It's not what I...

what I mean is,

is pretending to be...

We deserve to be

happy, Eugene.

I'm not Eugene and you're not...

I know.

Let me be your joy, Eugene.

Take my love, all of it.

You'll be my happiness, too.

Come 'ere, husband.

Can I be myself, please?

Oh, what the hell?

Just skooch over.

First thing I'm gonna

do in the AM is I'm

going to take down those photos

by the stairs, and I'm

gonna put up one great,

big, life size picture of you.

Use the whole,

the whole house, whole universe,

just to glorify you.

Love you, you know that?

Like the stars love

the night sky.

Turn over.

Sweet savior, you

are beautiful.

Kevin.

Do you live here?

Uh, no.

Or technically, no, I don't.

I've spent a... a lot of time

here, a great deal of time

Some wonderful time.

What were you doing?

Me?

Uh...

I was having some toast.

Oh, my...

Excuse me.

I have to go to work.

I've never been here before.

Oh?

He thought if he built a shrine

to me, he could make up

for being such a shitty dad.

Did it ever occur to

him I grew up?

Oh, my goodness.

Uh...

You think he's dead?

I don't know.

Charlotte?

What if we...

Call me Mike.

Come on, come on!

Where have you been all night?

Kevin?

Stay with me, Mike,

in Terre Haute.

We both want the same things.

We both need...

Live with me.

You can be Michaela.

I can be Arthur.

We can both have the

lives we want.

Finally.

What do you say?

The water pressure

here is superb.

My mom was a paranoid

schizophrenic, Arthur.
