Blue Valentine Page #7

Synopsis: Dean Pereira and Cindy Heller Pereira are a young, working class married couple - Dean currently working as a painter, and Cindy working as a nurse in a medical clinic - with a young daughter named Frankie. Despite their relatively tender ages, they are both ravaged by the life they've eked out together and by the experiences they've had leading into their marriage. Dean, a high school drop out, comes from a broken home, where he never really had a mother figure. He never saw himself getting married or having a family despite falling in love at first sight with Cindy. He doesn't have any professional ambition beyond his current work - which he enjoys since he feels he can knock off a beer at 8 o'clock in the morning without it affecting his work - although Cindy believes he has so much more potential in life.

Would you please take them?

Cindy, come on,

would you give me five minutes?

This is ridiculous.

You're not even gonna talk to me?

Come on, Cindy.

I'm trying to say I'm sorry,

and you're acting like a total b*tch!

I don't know, I just

feel like I should just stop...

You know, just stop thinking

about it, but I can't.

Maybe I've seen too many movies,

you know, love at first sight.

- Anyone call?

- No.

Thanks.

What do you think

about love at first sight?

You think you can love somebody

just by looking at 'em?

- By looking at 'em?

- But the thing is, man,

I felt like I knew her. You know?

You ever get that feeling?

Yeah, like, you've seen her

before and you just know her...

- Yeah.

- it's a feeling.

But, actually,

you really don't know her.

- Yeah, I probably... I don't, right?

- That's right.

- I felt like I did, though.

- If you get a little p*ssy...

...I think all the mental-ness

will go away from you.

You think

I'm too much in my head?

Yeah, too much.

You already know

where she live at, right?

No, she was just, like,

visiting her grandmother.

So why don't you go back

to that grandmother...

- ... and ask her where she lives?

- I should go back, right?

Yeah. if you like her; yeah.

She just seems different,

you know? I don't know.

Wait. How different?

I don't know,

I just got a feeling about her.

You know when a song comes on

and you just gotta dance?

- Hi.

- Hi.

Do you know

what happened to Walter?

- Who?

- Walter.

He's the gentlemen that just moved in

across the hall about a month ago.

I don't know anything

or anybody named Walter.

Oh.

OK.

Hey, can I ask you something else?

What's the story with that girl

that was in here like a month ago?

The blonde, the young blonde?

I gave her my card,

but she never called me.

What's her name?

- Cindy.

- Cindy.

- Will you tell her I say hi?

- OK. Why not.

Sh*t.

Do you think I could sit down,

because all these other seats are taken.

- OK.

- Hey, thanks.

You know, I just talked

to your grandmother.

That sounds weird, huh?

- Yeah.

- OK, let me put it into context.

I went out there to see Walter,

who's not there anymore.

That's why I talked to her.

Do you know what happened

to that guy, Walter?

Yeah, do you know what happened

to that guy, Walter?

No, I don't know what happened

to that guy, Walter.

What happened?

You gotta do it like that?

- What do you expect?

- What do you mean?

They're old.

Would you want to live like that?

- Like what? In that home?

- Yeah.

Well, no but I'm not getting old

and he's a dummy for dying.

- Walter's a dummy for dying?

- Yeah.

What are you gonna do,

wise guy?

Not do it.

- Are you gonna die?
