Clara's Heart Page #4

YOU LIKE ME.

CLARA, COME, MAN.

LET'S GO.

THE TAXI MAN:

GET CHAKA-CHAKA.

WE'RE OFF TO THE WILDS

OF BALTIMORE:

TO HAVE:

A SWEET WEEKEND.

DON'T GE INDIGESTION.

GOOD AFTERNOON,

EVERYONE.

HELLO.

HELLO. CAN YOU HEAR ME

OUT THERE?

YES. LET'S GATHER

AROUND UP HERE, PLEASE.

I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU

TO OUR HOST,

OUR COUNSELOR,

AND A DEAR FRIEND

TO ALL OF US,

PETER EPSTEIN.

COME ON IN.

GET COMFORTABLE.

IT ONLY WORKS:

WHEN I CAN SEE YOUR EYES.

TODAY--LISTEN.

TODAY, ONE DAY ONLY.

SPECIAL. SPECIAL.

WE ARE GATHERED HERE

TO BURY SORROW,

NOT TO PRAISE:

AND WALLOW IN IT.

WE'RE JUST A BUNCH OF FRIENDS

GATHERED HERE TODAY

TO CELEBRATE LIFE,

ENJOY THE WEATHER, THE DAY,

THE FOOD, EACH OTHER.

IF ANY OF YOU ARE SO MOVED

EVEN TO ACT SILLY--

SING SONGS, PLAY GAMES,

ROLL IN THE GRASS--

YOU CAN DO IT BECAUSE TODAY

I'M NOT YOUR THERAPIST.

I'M NOT YOUR GROUP LEADER.

NO, I'M A 15-YEAR-OLD BOY

WHO DREAMED OF SINGING

IN A ROCK 'N' ROLL BAND.

IF ANYONE WANTS TO JOIN ME,

I'LL SHOW YOU HOW

I ALMOST SUCCEEDED

EXCEPT FOR ONE SMALL

DISABILITY--

I COULDN'T SING.

ALL RIGHT,

LET'S BREAK, GO,

AND IMMEDIATELY COMMENCE

TO HAVE FUN.

HI. WHAT'S

YOUR NAME?

SO AFTER MY SINGING CAREER

WENT INTO:

THE PORCELAIN FACILITY,

FOR A TIME THERE, I THOUGH I WANTED TO BE A RABBI,

BUT I COULDN'T IMAGINE

SITTING THROUGH BAR MITZVAHS

FOR THE RES OF MY LIFE

OR THINKING OF GOD

AS A THREE-SYLLABLE WORD.

FIRST OF ALL,

LET'S NOT EXCLUDE

THE WORD GUILT.

MOM?

DAVID, YOU KNOW

DR. EPSTEIN.

HI. MOM, DAD AND I

WANT TO GO NOW.

CAN YOU GET A RIDE?

IT'S NOT THE RIGHT TIME

TO ASK ME THIS.

LET THEM GO.

ALL RIGHT.

GOOD MEETING YOU,

DAVID.

NICE TO MEET YOU.

AS I WAS SAYING,

GUILT, IT'S NECESSARY.

IT EXISTS FOR A REASON.

IT EXISTS FOR ANYONE

TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN RIGHT AND WRONG.

YOU'VE GOT TO SEE

THE POLARITY...

WHAT YOU DOING?

TRYING TO FIND MYSELF

AN APARTMENT.

YOU'RE LEAVING?

YOU THINK I WANT TO

GIVE YOU THAT MUCH PLEASURE?

HOW COME:

AN APARTMENT?

SO I GOT SOMEPLACE

TO GO WHEN I'M NOT WORKING

INSTEAD OF:

WITH ME FRIENDS.

THEN WHEN MY HUSBAND

GETS HERE,

HE'S GOT SOMEPLACE

TO STAY WHILE I'M WORKING.

WHEN'S HE COMING?

I DON'T KNOW YET.

OK, DAVE,

THIS IS IT!

DON'T BE GIVING

THE CHILD DIARRHEA

BEFORE HE EVEN:

GETS THERE.

LET ME BE:

THE PARENT, CLARA.

WHAT DO YOU SAY?

THAT'S JUS AS IT SHOULD BE.

DON'T PUSH IT, OK?

BUT OF COURSE.

DAVE, PEOPLE WHO

DON'T HAVE KIDS

ARE THE BIGGES EXPERTS ON HOW

TO RAISE THEM.

GOOD LUCK, DAVID.

REMEMBER, THE SUN

WILL CONTINUE TO RISE

WHETHER YOU'RE

ON THE SWIM TEAM OR NOT.

SWIMMERS, TAKE YOUR MARKS.

TRY TO LEAVE:

SOME WATER IN THE POOL

WHEN YOU IMITATE

ARNOLD SCHWARZNEGGER
