Fearless Page #6

I have a feeling

of overwhelming love for her.

I've never felt anything like it before.

Five, six, seven, eight, and...

...a little run, a little run!

Slide here.

Slide, slide, slide.

Change your hands.

Go, skip.

Change your hands.

Okay, Joan, stop the music.

Let's rehearse the piece for the pageant.

But we don't have Eric.

- No, we don't.

- That's right, we don't.

We need a volunteer.

Dr. Perlman, perhaps?

Me?

I don't...

I don't think... No.

Couldn't you get someone else?

We need a male. Do you mind?

- What do I have to do?

- A tree.

Just a tree.

Just have to stand here. Like this.

Come on, Doctor. It'll be good therapy.

Okay, girls. Hold hands all around him.

Joan, some wind music.

Swirling around like a tornado.

And go in!

Doctor, the tree has leaves and branches.

Come on, up. Up with your arms.

Come on, up with your arms.

And feel the wind. Swing at the wind!

Come on, Doctor.

Well...

...is that your revenge?

Look, it's getting worse.

He's more remote and distant than ever.

He's spending more time with the child

from the plane than with his own son.

And I hate that crazy truth-telling,

like a robot.

What does he do every day?

He looks at buildings.

Looks at buildings?

I don't mind that. I think...

...he might be finding

something new for his work.

I want to know about this woman.

Why did you introduce them?

What were you trying to achieve?

No one can reach her. If she doesn't

get help, she'll end up in an institution.

Or worse.

And my husband?

He worries me.

Why?

I don't know.

I think he thinks he's invulnerable.

I've seen it with Vietnam vets.

The high they get

from overcoming their fear...

...they become addicted to it.

I thought if I put them together...

They can help each other?

I don't know.

He said he felt overwhelming feeling

of love for her.

A feeling he never felt before.

What does that mean?

Is he falling in love with her?

Not in a rational way.

Love isn't rational.

It's not love.

He wants to save her.

Save her?

And who's saving Max?

Or me, for that matter?

Are you playing God?

Are you playing matchmaker?

What are you trying to achieve,

Dr. Perlman?

Trying to help, that's all.

I don't have all the answers.

Can't wait to see what you're working on.

I'm going to bed now.

Would you turn that down?

- I haven't taken one in six days.

- Didn't I tell you?

I feel great. Thanks.

He chickened out

half a mile from the airport.

Good to see you.

It's great that you came.

Everybody, we're going to go downstairs.

You come with me, Carla.

Everybody downstairs.

Come on.

You wait here, Manny.

It's okay. It's all right.

I'll be upstairs.
