Garbo Talks Page #4

Synopsis: Estelle is a one-person protest army: she goes to jail over grocery prices, shames construction workers for catcalls to passing women, and won't cross a picket line for her son's wedding. She also loves Garbo films: when she learns she has a brain tumor and six months to live, she decides she must meet Garbo. Her dutiful son Gilbert, a Manhattan accountant named for Garbo's co-star, hires a paparazzo to show him Garbo's flat, stakes it out, gets a job delivering food there, seeks her on Fire Island, and tracks her to a Sixth Avenue flea market. As his obsession distances him from his wife, he's drawn to a struggling actress he meets at work. Can he find Garbo; if so, will she talk?

and he leaves me without

even giving me his name.

Gilbert, we are there.

Do you like working in

this dark little room?

It's not so bad.

I would be claustrophobic.

I study at the theater next door.

I'm counting until

something happens.

I need this job.

People like you should

not have to work.

You are prehistoric.

Actually, I'd like to

be interviewed, but...

It's not my type.

I would like to, but I

do not have the money.

One day, when I'll

be very, very rich,

I'll stay at home all

the time, study Molire

and order veal with oysters

from Fraser-Morris.

Moliire make me laugh,

and Fraser-Morris, that's

where the very, very rich

buy all their tomatoes.

Lisa, it was very good.

This is the first

time I cook Chinese.

It took me 3 hours.

Go to the living room,

I'll serve the coffee.

3 hours.

She could have read "War and Peace".

Where's my bag, Gilbert?

Look on the table in the room.

Bring me a glass of water, too.

Mom, how are you?

Yes... I'm just a little sore

at the head, that's all.

Gilbert Rolfe.

Dr. Cohen. How are you?

What is it?

You can not operate?

There is no way.

You may have other opinions,

but there is nothing to do.

It's an attitude she

will not understand.

Why did not Dr. Cohen

tell me himself?

He thinks I'm made of butter?

Estelle Rolfe.

Not Estelle Rolfe.

I know everyone must die,

but I really thought I

was the first exception.

Dr. Cohen wants you to

go to the hospital.

Lisa's dad knows a

neurosurgeon in Beverly Hills.

I have Dr. Cohen.

It is a shoe size in his field.

He does miracles.

I do not believe in miracles.

You must have hope.

Yes, I have hope.

I do not believe in miracles.

We work with what we have.

We do not always win.

I have always accepted the objective fact.

Yes? Okay. One minute, please.

He could have you a room at Murray Hill.

He wants to know...

I'm not going to Murray Hill.

Dermaticians are not unionized.

- Mom!

- No.

Could you find another

place for him?

She does not like Murray Hill Hospital.

Why? I do not know why.

Yes OK.

No, we'll be there.

Dr. Cohen wants to start

cobalt treatments.

I know everything about cobalt.

You do not...

You will not feel anything.

No, that's not what I mean.

My hair.

They may fall.

I just dye them.

Look at it.

- How much time do I have?

- Hard to say.

You can resist for a while.

Do not tell me a story.

How much time do I have?

Four to six months.

I'm coming back tonight.

I called Mr. and Mrs. Kozinski,

they want to know

if you want visits,

I told them it would be

better to wait a few days,

the time you settle down

and feel comfortable.

They were great. They will monitor

the house and open the eye for you.
