A TOKEN OF SOMEBODY

ONLY TO BE HAUNTED

BY THEM:

THE RES OF YOUR LIFE?

WASN'T YOUR FAUL SHE DIED.

IT WAS NOT YOUR FAULT.

[HUMMING]

THAT CHILD,

THAT LITTLE BOY:

CHANGED MY LIFE:

FOREVER AND ALL TIME.

THAT LITTLE BOY:

TAUGHT ME THE JOY

OF LIVING FOR SOMEONE

OTHER THAN MYSELF.

AND YET,

WHEN HE WAS KILLED,

I CONTINUED TO SLEEP

AND WAKE AND BREATHE,

AND IN MY AGONY:

AND MY ANGER:

I CONTAMINATED:

ANYONE AND EVERYONE

THAT HAD THE MISFORTUNE

TO TOUCH ME.

SO AFTER I DEMOLISHED

MY MARRIAGE,

I TRULY REALIZED

THAT IF I WASN' GOING TO KILL MYSELF,

I HAD TO GET ON:

WITH MY LIVING.

SO ALL RIGHT,

IT'S A SORROW WITHOUT END,

BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO DIE

THE REST OF OUR LIVES

TO PROVE THAT WE HUR OR THAT WE'RE LONELY.

SO ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THAT'S JUS TOO BAD, ISN'T IT?

I'M TELLING YOU,

THAT'S IT.

CAN WE JUS DROP IT?

I'M NOT DROPPING

ANYTHING.

EDITH IS GONE.

IT'S NOT ABOUT EDITH.

LET'S STOP BLAMING

EVERYTHING ON THE BABY.

IT'S JUST FINE

WITH ME.

SO WHAT DO YOU WAN TO DUMP EVERYTHING ON NOW?

HMM?

IT'S NO THE OTHER WOMEN.

IT'S NOT ANY ONE THING.

WHAT OTHER WOMEN?

IT'S NOT ABOUT THEM.

IT'S ABOUT US.

I REALIZED TODAY THAT'S

WHY I GOT PREGNANT.

I THOUGHT IT WOULD

CHANGE THINGS.

YOU WANT TO KNOW

THE WORST OF IT, BILL?

THE WORST OF IT IS

WE'RE NOT EVEN

FRIENDS ANYMORE.

WHEN WERE WE FRIENDS?

REALLY, WHEN?

ONCE.

THAT WAS:

A LONG TIME AGO.

I'M TRYING

TO CHANGE THINGS.

THAT'S FINE, LEE.

THAT HAS REAL MERIT,

BUT DON'T REDESIGN ME.

BLANCHE LOUDON.

OH, CLARA MAYFIELD.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU.

YOU'RE LOOKIN'

LIKE A BABY.

CHA, MAN,

YOU'RE TO LIE.

COME AND SEE THE HOUSE.

HOUSE IS HOUSE.

THE TAXI'S WAITING.

TAXI WILL STAY.

COME IN.

OH, CLARA. IT'S

SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THERE BE THE TORMEN OF ME EXISTENCE.

THEY CALL HIM DAVID.

CHA, BOBO. ME NOT A TORMEN IN YOUR EXISTENCE.

IN DIS HOUSE DE TORMEN IS EVERYONE.

A JAMAICAN WOMAN

TORMENT ME:

FOR CERTAIN:

AS MUCH AS ME TORMENT HER.

WHERE HIM:

LEARN PATOIS?

ONLY ONE PLACE:

I CAN THINK OF.

ONLY LOW-CLASS PEOPLE

TALK THAT WAY.

DON'T ENCOURAGE HIM.
