sometimes.

Don't you agree?

Yes.

Of course.

It's a marvellous facility.

And the treatments seem to be doing

wonders for him...

Anyway,

they said getting out for an afternoon

might do him a little bit good.

I think he finds my friends a

little conventional, quite frankly

I mean, hes travelled.

He has a PhD in mathematics.

I suppose you could say

hes an intellectual.

It would do him a world of good to

meet a young couple like you.

We'd love to meet him.

Really?

Yes.

We'd love to.

Thank you, dear.

Thank you.

Well...

I must be off.

I remember the first day

you came off the train.

You werent like my other clients.

You were different.

You just seemed...

Special...

Of course you still are.

Remember...

Bye.

I think you got me a little drunk.

You know what today is?

...What-a-joke.

What-a-joke.

Oh my...

Do you wanna hear a real joke...?

Yes.

My old man worked at Knox.

Yeah?

He was a salesman in Yonkers.

Oh.

Once a year,

he used to take me to the city for lunch.

It was supposed to be a very special,

life-advice sort of occasion.

Nice.

No.

Not really.

I used to sit there and think.

"I hope to Christ

I dont end up like you."

Now here I am,

a thirty year old Knox man.

Can you beat that?

I think I kind of lost you...

Your father worked for Knox...?

I'm sorry.

Everythings kinda...

...going out of focus

Why don't we get some air?

You with me?

Is this you?

Yeah.

You've been to Paris?

Ive never really been anywhere.

Maybe Ill take you with me then.

Im going back first chance I get.

I tell you.

People are alive there.

I like here.

All I know April is...

I wanna feel things.

Really feel them.

You know?

Hows that for an ambition...?

Frank Wheeler?

I think youre the most

interesting person

Ive ever met.

Guess this wasnt what you had in mind

when you went to work this morning?

No. It's really wasn't.

Do you have a cigarette, Frank?

Yeah, sure.

There you go.

Can I get you a drink or anything?

No thanks, Maureen.

Actually it's...

Its getting kind of late.

I guess I...

I guess Id better be cutting out.

Oh. Gee.

That's right.

Did you miss your train?

Thats all right.

Ill catch the next one.

Listen,

you were swell.

Take care now.

Frank...

Why are you all dressed up?

First of all,

I missed you all day

and I wanna say Im sorry.

Im sorry for the way

Ive been since that stupid play.

Im sorry for everything.

And I love you.

For the rest of life. xxx
