If These Walls Could Talk 2

You're afraid of hearing it,

but I'm more afraid than you.

I won't listen to you.

No! You've got to know.

I've got to tell you.

I can't keep it to myself

any longer.

I'm guilty !

You're guilty of nothing !

I've been telling

myself that...

Since the night I heard

the child say it.

I lie in bed night after night,

praying that it isn't true.

But I know about it now.

It's there.

I don't know how,

I don't know why.

But I did love you--

I do love you !

I resented

your plans to marry--

Maybe because I wanted you.

Maybe I wanted you

all these years.

I couldn't call it

by name before,

But maybe it's been there

since I first knew you.

- not the truth !

Not a word of it is true !

We never thought of each other

that way !

No, of course you didn't.

I used to say I didn't.

I never felt that way

about anybody but you.

I've never loved a man.

I never knew why.

Shut up !

Maybe it's best.

You're tired, worn out.

It's funny.

It's all mixed up.

So how was the movie, ladies ?

You recommend it ?

Oh, too much high drama

for my taste.

I like comedy better.

Me too. Say,

you ladies need somebody

to see you home ?

Oh, no, thank you, sam.

We can see just fine

on our own, thank you.

Anytime you need an escort--

if we do, it'll be you, sam,

guaranteed.

Hello, boys.

Wait, let me help you,

for god sakes.

- I have it.

You don't.

You're gonna hurt your back.

Oh, shut up.

Oh, I'm fine.

Just got a little

out of breath,

that's all.

There.

You sure you're all right ?

I'm fine.

Sure you're all right ?

You wicked wretch.

I'm fine.

Ah, ah ! Oh, oh !

Edith, edith.

You look kinda peaked,

sweetie. Go to bed.

I'll bring you some tea.

I just wanna fill the feeders.

Do it in the morning.

The birds can wait.

Where is that damn scoop ?

You always put it

in a different place.

It's in the same place

every time.

Where the hell is it ?

I'll get it.

- Oh.

You stupid,

bullheaded old woman.

oh, god. I--

Don't stay too long

out there.

- I won't.

Abby ?

Abby !

Abby !

Are you still out there ?

I'm checking on something.

Well, for sweet's sake,

put some light on at least.

Oh, my god ! Abby,

are you out of your mind ?

I saw some Starlings building

a nest up here. I just wanna

see what they're up to.

They're not up to anything,

you fool. They're asleep.

Just be quiet, would you ?

Hush up yourself.

Do you want some tea ?

Yeah, please.

You be careful now.

I'm watching you.

Edie, I knew it !

She's sitting on some eggs.

Oh, lovely.

Oh, hello, pretty bird.

How many do you have in there ?

Oh, leave the bird alone.

You'll scare the wits

out of her.

I wanna build

another house out here.

This one is always filled.

Oh, I think this is

the one I banded.

I can't believe it, edie,

she came back !

No wonder, darling.

You spoil the poor bird rotten.

Go to sleep, pretty bird.

Don't mind me.

Go to sleep, little darling.

- This where we wait ?

- Yes.

They just took my husband in.

He had a heart attack.

We were in the den,

having our coffee

after dinner,

And I was sitting

in my chair,

reading my magazine,

And then I--

I thought,

"it got

very quiet in here.

Why's it so quiet ?"

And I looked over

at James--

He was slumped

in his chair,

And he wasn't breathing.

He had a heart attack...

Right in front of me.

I never even noticed.

Here. It's clean.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You're very kind.

Thank you.

Why are you here ?

Is it your husband too ?

My friend fell off a ladder.

We think she had a stroke.

- Did she break any bones ?

- Don't know yet.

Well,
