Love Streams Page #6

You get through with this, you can help me...

get these empty cigarette packs off here...

and this stuff here, then we can eat.

All done.

Want a drink? Would you like

a Coca-Cola, or a beer?

A beer.

Would you like a little toast?

Did you run away because I was born?

No, I didn't even know you were coming.

I don't like men a lot, you know.

I'm a writer. I don't make money on men.

No one's really interested.

They're kinda boring.

When you're 14 I think you oughta...

hitchhike across the country,

go into a truckstop, stop there.

Have a cup of coffee,

and see what men are really like, you know.

Men. Not these people out here

with the suits and ties...

that kind of stuff, you know.

I had a picture of you.

My father tore it up.

My mother cried,

they had a big fight, and he hit her.

And they changed my name to

Albie Swanson, like his.

And mother cries all the

time thinking about you.

Please come back to her.

She sleeps with another

man every night, you know.

You know what that means?

She has had a baby by another man.

So, that part of...

that part of...

is over.

I don't like women anyway, you know.

I really don't. I like kids.

And I like older people.

Cuz they seem to have the secret...

They don't need anything.

You don't need anything.

They just want...

You're innocent.

And so are old people, they're innocent.

That's what I like about them.

Drink your drink here.

Come on, drink it down.

Hey, dad!

What's wrong?

Someone's here. There's a cab

outside. There's two cabs.

You go out there and you tell them

to go away.

I have a lady in the cab.

Paris.

Dad?

This is my son Albie,

from the second marriage.

Albie, Sarah.

Oh, my god.

I haven't seen you...

I haven't seen him since he

was in the hospital being born.

I would've brought you a present, only I

didn't know I was going to be here...

I didn't know you were going to...

I didn't know I was going to...

Hi.

- A load of trunks.

- Yeah, I see that.

Well take them all into the house, alright.

Alright Jim, let's get these bags.

Let's take it in.

I just can't believe it.

I can't believe I got here, I can't

believe i'm actually here.

I can't believe i'm seeing you.

You're nuts. You're really nuttier

than fruitcake. I love you.

Where do these bags go?

Bags go- you can put 'em on

the first floor or the upstai...

put 'em on the upstairs landing, alright?

Just, on the upstairs landing.

That'll be good.

How about a drink?

No, I really shouldn't.

Perhaps, well, one maybe.

One only, cuz I was flying

first class and...

- Well, this is not going to hurt ya.

- Make it a weak one, please.

Get a little ice. Need

a little ice for ya.
