Marjorie Prime Page #3

That's how it should

happen when it happens.

Don't be morbid,

of morbid.

Oh, yes.

Let's all pretend

we live forever.

You got your color back.

Thank you, Jon.

It's always nice to be lied to.

I like him more now that

he cut off his beard.

That was 30 years ago.

It wasn't.

Yeah, it was.

And you stopped worrying about

impressing me, and that helped.

Hey, could you

check on the

there was plenty on Monday.

Julie said we ran out

last week and it was not pretty.

There is someone in my mind.

I'm trying to figure

out who it is.

Raina is

coming this weekend,

your loving granddaughter.

I know who Raina is.

How is she?

She's got blue hair.

It suits her.

Nine restoril

and six

I remember waking

up on a bridge

with a lot of people around.

Why were you

sleeping on a bridge?

This is a dream, I take it?

Maybe Walter would remember.

We could ask Walter.

Mom, dad's been

dead for 15 years.

I mean the other

Walter, Walter prime?

Ugh, I'm not that far gone.

Detached?

Well, yeah.

By the time I came along,

you had kind of removed

yourself from the conversation.

You were outside looking in.

Can you tell me more about

my profession, my work?

Haven't you read

up on yourself?

In my obituary, professional

details were sparse.

Can you describe

what I actually did?

Raping and pillaging.

Excuse me?

That was Tess's joke when

I first asked what you did.

You evaluated

financial statements,

corporate investments

for rich people.

And you gave them advice

on how to get richer.

Did I like it?

You were good at it.

You realize this is

your house, right?

Tess and I moved

in to help Marjorie

10 years after you died.

But before that, when I

met you, you were a guy

whose mind was somewhere else.

Also, no offense, you didn't

get prettier as you aged.

Who does?

Is it weird that Marjorie

chose you, younger Walter,

to come back into her life?

I don't believe that you talked

to Marjorie about your work,

if that's what you're asking.

What is this music?

I don't remember putting it on.

Poulenc.

Marjorie had asked for

it when we spoke last.

I thought it might provide

a pleasant atmosphere.

Oh.

Julie, we're ready for you here.

Would you prefer no music?

Yeah maybe, for now.

Um, you can see how

stressed Tess has been.

Well, you could if

she would talk to you.

We were planning a trip.

But given Marjorie's... given

Marjorie's condition that might

not be a good idea right now.

And Julie is going

to be living here

full time to make

sure that Marjorie

gets everything that she needs.

So we determined,

Tess and I, after some

spirited back and forth, that

Julie should um, meet you.

Hello.
