Some Velvet Morning

SOME VELVET MORNING

Hi.

I'm here.

It's me...

Fred.

Hey, hello there.

So, I'm here...

with all my stuff.

And I came here to...

Anyway, here I am with it.

- I brought it all to your place.

- I see that.

- You can tell me to go if you...

- No, that's not what I...

- Surprise!

- Yes, it's quite the...

So, is your plane not something? Is it delayed?

Or what? 'Cause I don't get the...

No, my plane's not... I mean,

I'm here to see you...

and to see if maybe...

we could figure something...

- Can I come in?

- Yeah.

You can't stand out on the landing

all day, so yeah, come in.

- I do have to go out soon, though.

- Yeah, no, great.

Look, I just didn't know how you were

gonna react, or, you know, what...

and I didn't wanna phone, but then I

though, yeah, I mean, should I phone...

how do you explain away fifty years

of a life over the phone, right?

I mean, I don't think I even have a

calling plan that'll support that.

It's a terrible joke. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Just a little nervous.

- Why?

- I don't know. I just am.

Well, there's no reason to... I mean, we know

each other, Fred, we have for a long time.

There's no reason for either of us

to feel bad about things at all.

No, I know. Yeah, I know that.

I don't, you know?

I mean, but I didn't say bad. I

didn't say that.

I said nervous.

- Is that all right?

- Of course.

However you want to feel is

fine. It's okay.

Thanks.

Are you going somewhere or what? 'Cause

that is a lot of stuff you got there.

Oh, yeah, no, I...

On the plane you can only carry on

two things, you know, two bags.

So those two, and then these two

I checked.

And basically I had grabbed

everything from the house...

that was mine and...

well, not everything, but you

know what I mean.

Anyway, I did it all when Miriam

was at the store.

How 'bout that? What a coward.

Twenty four years of being married to

the woman and that's how I go about it.

Oh, well, I make myself sick.

Maybe you should call her.

Who?

Your wife.

Yeah, no, I will. I mean, at some

point, definitely, I'll call her.

And Chris, what about him?

- I don't know, what about him?

- Well, he's your son, for one thing...

so he's probably gonna want to

know what's up. I know I would.

Yeah, well, probably so.

- Can I get some water?

- Sure.

I don't think he'll like it.

True.

But maybe he doesn't need to

know.

Still.

I suppose, in some strange way, he's

the one who introduced us, though.

- Fred.

- No, I'm just saying that you know, kinda...

I introduced us. It wasn't him.

No, I know that. I know, I know.

But all I'm saying is that...

It was me. I put the note in

your pocket. So it wasn't him.

Yeah, I know, but if he had not

been seeing you, then...

No, no, come on.

What?

No, look, I'm not saying that he should

be, you know, all happy for me...

and he'll understand and

everything, I'm not saying that.

- I'm just telling you...

- He still sees me, Chris, from time to time.

We go for lunch, and so I'm not

sure he'll feel very...

You know what I'm saying. You

know exactly.

Lunch? Really?

- With Wonderboy?

- Sometimes.

Sometimes other things.

Other things, huh?

I didn't...

He's married now, you know? Just

in case he didn't mention it.

He did.

Yes, he is.

And he still... really?

And does Mandy know? Mandy is

his wife.

Yeah, I know.

I guess not, but I'm not that

deep a part of his life.

So I don't really know or care.

Great. I just bet she doesn't.

No, I guess the same. So go on.

Take it.

Thanks.

I have this terrible dryness in

my mouth.

It's so dry, it's like...
