and it's so blurred,

What is my life?

What have I done?

Oh,

And what's it

all about?

I think it's time

that I get strong,

Yes,

And that I ask myself

the really hard questions,

Yes!

It's time for you

to start taking care of you,

Yes, I need to be,,,

selfish,

Yes,

Selfish in the good sense,

Absolutely,

Yes?

Absolutely,

I see,

Thank you,

[Sighs]

You've been

such a help,

Oh, you don't

have to pay me now,

It's easier

for patients to pay

at the end of

each month by check,

Well, I think you misunderstand

the... the visit,

I only wanted

a period of quiet time

so that I could

organize my thoughts,

I can't imagine my requiring

your services on a regular basis,

I won't be returning,

Whatever you say,

Mrs, Greenway,

Aurora,

Ah,,, hi!

A wave

and a smile,

She must be

in a better mood,

Lemme get out

the hats and horns,

Rosie, I am starving!

Arthur,

Hi, Aurora,

You got a call

from someone named,

uh,,, Pasqual

[French Accent]

Who wants you for dessert,

Pascal,

And he wants to have me over

for dessert,

His English is less

than perfect, Hector,

Are you having

an affair?

W...

Why, Hector,

you're in no position

to be inquisitive

or jealous,

Now you go home

and you rethink

your clothing,

God, she's so full

of herself,

At least it's

her old self,

thank God,

Oh, dear!

Ha ha ha!

What's all this?

Every clipping,

every diary, every letter,

every photograph,

every theater program,

Rosie,

this represents

everything that's ever

happened to me,

so I am going to

organize it

and make sense

out of it all,

Rosie, I'm gonna chronicle

every day of my life,

What a mess,

Oh,,, my,,,

goodness!

These,,, people

are all dead,

[Music Plays]

[Laughing]

Man:
Cut it out,

Woman:
I know,

Wait, Ow, ow, ow,

You're on my head,

[Laughter]

Woman:
Oh!

Oh, God,

Mel,,, this is not

what it seems,

Get your clothes on,

Toni,

Toni? That's Toni?

Mel, we gotta talk,

That's Mel?

Mel!

I got a better idea,

Mel,

Mel!

Mel!

Don't overreact,

Great,

[Grinding Gears]

Nice car, Toni,

[Ding Dong

Ding Ding]

[Ding Ding Ding

Dong Dong]

[Ding Ding Ding]

Patsy!

No,

[Alarm Sounds]

I can't believe you,

[Telephone Rings]

Hello. Please leave

a message

when you hear

the D-sharp.

[Beep]

Woman:
Aurora,

pick up the phone,

Something's happened

to Melly,

Patsy!

Oh!

Where is she?

Poor girl!

We've pumped

her stomach,

It's almost impossible

to take a lethal overdose

in this family of drug,

It's a muscle relaxant,

so she's just,,,

very relaxed,

Unresponsive,

[Beep Beep Beep Beep]

Gel,

Clear!

EXcuse me!

Oh, Melly!

EXcuse me,

[Gasps]

Melanie,

Oh, Melanie!

Poor Melly,
