I don't believe it, what in

god's name have we done?

John, they're all grown up.

They're almost old, they'll be

fine, they got their own lives.

Sure it is?

Jane is married to Philip, she teaches college,

they got two kids a boy and a girl.

Really?

- Rosie and Stephen.

Rosie, they're toddlers right?

They're very cute.

Stephen is 19 and Rosie is 21.

Don't you remember we went to

her high school graduation?

Rosie made a wonderful speech and Stephen

played in a band. You were very moved by it.

Stephen played in the band, and...

Rosie made a wonderful speech.

- You see, you do remember.

No I don't.

It's so painful when you

don't remember anything.

I'm sick and tired

of having to remember everything for you.

Forgive me, Ella.

No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't get angry with you.

Damn memory.

- I know... I know.

I brought a surprise for you.

You brought a surprise for me?

- Something I want us to do... OK?

Us together?

- Together, tonight.

Tonight?

Tonight.

I don't think I can.

What?

- You can do this.

Okey... I promise you.

Alright.

So what are you reading?

You're reading now Ernest Hemingway.

- I don't read anything, dear.

Yes, it's a short story.

You know, I start a sentence,

and by the time I get to the end of it...

You can't remember how it started?

I can remember things I remember...

But I can't remember things I...

Now which one is this?

Do you know?

Jane.

Yes.

So sweet.

Now, where are we in this one?

- Well look at you.

I can't believe I married to somebody

as beautiful as you.

The Chowan river.

Who are these people?

Down in Charleston your nephews and nieces.

No, they are your students.

I was throwing your birthday party. Look.

Yeah.

That was your favorite class.

And that's me too.

Who is that?

- That was nantucket.

And that was that nice boy that Will met.

They get along so far.

Good palls.

I don't know what happened to him.

Darling... darling.

Wake up. Wake up come on.

Get up, just for a minute.

There you go.

It happened again.

Wait, wait, let me dry you of first.

Here, you are soaking wet.

These stupid briefs.

Look I bought you six new pairs of boxers.

Why won't you wear them?

I don't like them. Why? I don't like them.

- Same old song I've heard all my life.

What's so great about briefs?

- Control.

Arms up and down and up and down.

All the way up and breath, and down.

You know what I love about you John?

Your silence is never embarrassing.

Never once in my life I thought:

I really need to say something now.

So you still see him?

What are you talking about?

You speak with him on the phone.

You write him letters.
