If These Walls Could Talk 2 Page #5

---

your great-aunt, did you ?

She was very kind.

She couldn't bear

to see anything suffer.

When we were girls,

She had her own little hospital

for all the birds and mice...

She rescued from her cat.

They all survived--

Those fragile

little creatures.

Somehow, she helped them

pull through.

Edith, I need to go over

a few more things with you

before we leave.

All right.

Maggie, why don't you

go play outside

a little bit more, okay ?

Please.

um--

Edith, I know you and i...

Discussed the possibility

of your staying on here.

But, as I said, with taxes

and the upkeep and all,

It's just gonna be

more practical for us

if we sell the house.

You know, Edith,

it might be better for you

in the long run to get...

A nice apartment

or a room somewhere...

Where you don't have to worry

about cleaning the house

or taking care of the yard.

Daddy ?

Yeah ?

One of the baby birds

fell out of the nest.

What should I do ?

Just leave it, sweetheart.

It's not supposed to make it.

Uh, why don't you guys

finish packing up

while I talk to edith.

Why don't you take this box

out to the car ?

Do you want one of these ?

No, thank you.

Okay.

Here's what we'll do.

Uh, I won't put the house

on the market until I'm sure

you're settled someplace else.

And, as I said,

I'll make sure that

you're compensated.

I think that's

what we should do.

If you knew

your aunt at all--

If you...

Knew about

all the marvelous things

that she did...

And how good she was

and funny...

And tender...

And brave and smart--

If you knew how hard

she worked...

Just to find a little peace

in this life--

If you knew at all,

then you'd know...

What she wanted.

And this wasn't it.

No, my dear,

this certainly wasn't it.

Okay, Edith,

we're gonna go now.

Why don't I call you

in a couple of weeks,

And we'll see

where things are at ?

- Mm-hmm.

Well, Edith,

it was very nice to meet you,

And I am so very sorry

about your loss.

Hey, how late was that woman

here last night ?

Very, very late.

Man, you scored.

What happened ?

Well, you know,

we're lyin' there afterwards,

and I'm thinkin'--

That was nice.

You know, she seems cool.

It was almost as if

i said it out loud,

'cause the girl starts

freaking out, saying this is her

first experience with a woman,

And she just wanted to know

what it was like.

Oh, great,

the science experiment.

Sometimes I feel like...

We're the only people

in the world that really

understand each other.

Baby, you just need

to get laid.

No ! I just want

a real relationship.

Linda, you wouldn't know what

to do with a real relationship.

The second we started going out,

you lost interest.
