The Center of the World Page #4

For like the first time - here,

you should let me help you.

You should let me help you.

You should let me help you. No. No.

Let me take - let me-

Come in.

Hey. Hey.

I'm going out for a couple of hours,

so I'll see you later, all right?

Where you going? I'm going to

visit an old friend of mine, Jerri.

I didn't know you had a friend here.

Mm-Hmm.

What does he do? She -

She's a dealer at Caesar's Palace.

Oh.

Wait.

Can I come?

Check out my little guy, right?

Oh, my god!

That's my son Jacob.

Oh.

He's so big. He's almost five.

Can you believe it?

No.

I'm telling you, he is so smart.

Let me see. Yeah, he's brilliant.

Know all the moms say that and everything

but I'm telling you he is.

Is he still with your mom?

Yeah, I - I'm gonna go

see him the day after tomorrow.

So, I saw this movie the other night

on cable -This black and white movie.

I'm telling you, it totally got me.

There's this guy, he's in a

hospital during, like, some war.

And he can't remember who he is.

And he meets this girl and they fall in

love and it's all really great, right?

They get married.

Everything is fabulous.

He has to go to this other town

for a job interview. Mmm!

And he's walking across the street,

he gets hit by a car.

And he's a lord. Yeah, he- Yeah-

He wakes up the person he was, which is,

like, a lord or something.

And he can't remember

who he is now. Ronald Coleman and...

Greer Garson.

Um, she's his secretary? And-and-

And she never tells him! Exactly.

For 15 years- for 15 f***ing years

she never says anything.

No, it's unbelievable. You

feel like maybe- I don't know-

Maybe love never dies.

Maybe love never does.

Ring, ring.

Oh, should you get it?

Maybe you should get it. Shh.

Ring, ring.

She doesn't know you're here.

- Hello?

- Hello, Richard?

Oh, hang on one second. I'll get him.

Uh, hey, how's it goin'?

Richard, is that you?

Can I conference in?

I feel left out. Yes, it is.

I have a banana and everything. Yes,

it is, Florence.

What are you doing?

I don't know. I'm just hanging out with my friend here.

Who are you with?

No one.

Um-Who are you with?

Do you wanna come over and play?

You've gotta go eat.

You've gotta go eat?

Eat everything.

This is the only town in the world where...

The breakfast get bigger billing

than the entertainers.

Down the strip a little bit you're gonna

see "steak and eggs," eight-Foot letters.

And underneath,

"in the lounge, I'm really hungry.

Frank Sinatra, jr.

And his orchestra. "

Little tiny letters.

You gotta have glasses to read 'em.

Richard?

Brian. I heard you went AWOL on Pete.

Yeah, I know. I know. Um-

This is Florence.

Um, Brian.
