Mr. Morgan's Last Love Page #4

---

Pas du tout.

You know when you love something

so much you start to hate it?

Yes.

Is that what happened

to you and your books?

I stopped looking at my books

when I stopped loving life.

Why did you stop loving life?

Well, you don't

love life itself.

You love, uh, places,

animals, people, memories,

food, literature, music.

And sometimes

you meet someone...

who requires all the love

you have to give.

And if you lose that someone,

you think everything else

is gonna stop too.

But everything

else just keeps on going.

Giraudoux said,

you can miss a single being,

even though you are surrounded

by countless others.

Those people are like...

like extras.

They cloud your vision,

they're a meaningless crowd.

They...

They're

an unwelcome distraction.

So you seek oblivion

in solitude.

But solitude

only makes you wither.

So I'm an unwelcome

distraction.

I'm a cloud?

You are the only

part of my life

I haven't figured out yet.

Mademoiselle.

Merci.

Monsieur.

Merci.

Pauline,

I can't let you row me.

I can row!

No, no, I can't let a woman

row me in a boat.

Matthew. Do I have

to remind you

that we live

in the 21st century?

(GEESE HONKING)

PAULINE:
Okay, how about this one:

"There's a crack in everything."

BOTH:
"That's how

the light gets in."

MATTHEW:

See, I told you.

I still think

you're wrong, Matthew.

I don't think you have everything

in your life figured out.

Why would you think that?

Huh?

Tell me.

I think the day we figure out

everything about our lives

is the day we die.

(DISTANT THUNDER RUMBLES)

(STARTER MOTOR WHIRRS)

MAN:
Encore!

(STARTER MOTOR WHIRRS)

One more time.

(MAN SPEAKING FRENCH)

You'll be late for your

appointment, Pauline.

You'd better take a taxi.

Jerome can give me a ride.

That's great.

You think he's cute?

In a George Hamilton

sort of way, yeah.

Who's George Hamilton?

Okay,

someone will be there in half an hour.

Merci.

You gonna be okay?

- I'll call you tonight.

- Absolutely, now go.

Okay.

I'm an old fool, darling.

Just an old fool.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

No.

I don't know.

Do you want to go home?

No.

Do you?

I am home.

I want to die here, Matt.

I have a better idea.

What?

Let's live here forever.

Matthew?

Is something the matter?

No, no, no, not at all.

I have to tell you something.

That makes two of us.

I have something to tell you too.

I'm leaving town.

My cousin's husband died,

and she has a big house

and is all alone now,

and... she asked me

to come live with her.

I'm very sorry, Matthew,

but I said yes.

That's wonderful, Colette.

I'm happy for you.

I think I'm going home too.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

MADAME DUNE:

Monsieur Morgan?
