Head in the Clouds Page #4

Good night.

You've become so serious.

The world has become serious.

We'll all die of gravity.

I'm sorry I can't be with you tonight.

Do you even like him?

Occasionally.

But I admit

he's trying a little too hard at the moment.

Mia, get out of the bath!

You'll turn into a prune!

I take it Le Grand Jeu is a cabaret?

Burlesque. Striptease.

She came here with nothing.

She's my protg.

I want the three of us to be friends.

Gilda, are you coming?

I'll see you in the morning.

This one's comfortable.

I used to sleep here when I first came.

How long have you been here?

Half a year.

Whereabouts in Spain are you from?

Asturias. In the north.

Don't be jealous. He's not special to her.

None of them are.

He wants you to hear.

He's afraid of her feelings for you.

Yeah, well, I'm afraid of mine for her.

Who is it?

It's me.

How dare you be so pathetically

melodramatic walking out on me like that?

What's there to drink? I'm bone dry.

Hello.

This is Linda.

Hello, Gilda.

I'm sorry I woke you.

I got seasick on the boat...

and then I tried to eat something

to settle my stomach...

but the food in this country is awful.

Is this a bad time?

What do you think?

Does Max know you're here?

Max was being very boring about you

so I expelled him.

I'm not going to let you go

and get yourself killed.

You'd probably come back

with your brain shot out.

Conversations would be

incredibly one- sided.

Now, get me a blanket

and you can go back to bed.

What are you doing?

I'm going.

She's sleeping in there.

I'm just getting her some bedclothes.

Guy, I was with you at the cinema.

After you saw her

you hardly spoke the rest of the day.

And when you got her letter

you couldn't get on a train fast enough.

I'm off.

There's no need.

I've got an early start in the morning.

And besides, I think I'm a bit in the way.

You didn't ask her to leave, did you?

No.

Seeing as she has

I suppose I don't have to sleep rough.

You've no idea

how I adored you at Cambridge.

And when I arrived here

nothing had changed.

It was miraculous.

So how did you and Mia meet?

I saw her on the street.

Followed her to a caf.

You choose people, don't you?

"Come into my life."

Sometimes you see complete strangers

but there's something special about them...

and you think

"I should really try and talk to them...

"because I'll never see them again"

but you don't...

because it's not done.

But it's all fated, anyway.

It had to be your room

I came into that night in Cambridge.

What do you mean?

The whole room was familiar.

I'd seen it before in dreams.

It probably reminded you of some place

you've been before.

We just think we've dreamt things.
