Music From Another Room Page #3

- Mosaics, you know?

- I work with tiles.

- Is there a call for that?

No, not enough.

It's a dying art, really.

They use computers to

design mosaics nowadays.

It's like baking, you know?

Now it's all plastic,

plastic wrap and advertisement.

Actually, I noticed downstairs, in front of

the shop, you have red granite floors.

Pretty rare, from Italy,

which is where I trained.

I wouldn't know.

This is it.

No smoking, no parties.

The girl before you here...

...she had parties.

Really?

- Smells good.

- Here you are.

Do you ride a bike?

- Yeah, I ride a bike.

- That's good.

Thank you.

Excuse me. Do you know

where Olmsted Street is?

Olmsted Street.

Thanks for your help.

Who is it?

I'm sorry. I'm lost.

I'm trying to deliver this cake.

Where to?

That's all right.

I'm looking for Olmsted Street.

Wait!

Anna?

We'll be back later, Mother.

I thought you were coming with us.

I can't.

I changed my mind.

- I won't let anything happen to you.

- Go with her. Have fun!

- I don't want to!

- Don't be silly.

I'm not being silly.

I can't skate.

It's easy. I'll show you how.

I bet he can skate. Can you?

- Yeah, I can skate.

- See? Anyone can do it.

No, I'll just stay

here with Mother.

Suit yourself.

I'm late.

Just make sure to tell Irene

that I'll baby-sit Lily tonight.

And make sure Mother takes

her medicine at 2:00 and 4:00.

- All right.

- Can I help you with something?

This gentleman is looking

for Olmsted Street.

Olmsted Street.

Okay, go up to the corner,

take a left.

When you get to the second stop sign,

you pass a drugstore to the right...

...go up to the

second stop sign...

...take a sharp right,

and then left at the church.

Did you understand all that?

Yeah.

You said that?

Five years old?

"I'm going to marry her. "

I know, my father told me that

stupid story millions of times.

- Now you meet her.

- It's kismet.

- Yeah. What's that?

- Fate.

Anna Swan,

what a beautiful name.

Vicious birds, swans, vicious.

What do you

know about them?

Once they drowned a boy

in Boston in some park.

No.

I mean the family.

Yes, they're very nice people.

They come in here sometimes.

Blind girl,

she has a sweet tooth.

She loves raspberry tarts.

The mother is sick...

...and the one called Anna

spends a lot of time with her.

- Does she live there?

- I don't think so. Why?

- He's in love with her.

- No, no. I'm not in love with her.

When you least want it,

love happens.

Like appendicitis.

I promise you, this is not love.

I know love.

No, when I fall in love,

it's like an alien invasion in my body.

I turn out like

a complete idiot.

I won't say it won't happen to me again,

but it won't be this time.
