The Royal Tenenbaums Page #4

You don't love me anymore,

do you?

I do, kind of.

I can't explain it right now.

Another dent here,

and another dent here.

I'll call you, okay?

Hello.

Hello?

Hello, beautiful.

Got a minute?

What are you doing here?

Uh, I need a favor.

I want to spend some time

with you and the children.

Are you crazy?

Well, wait a minute, damn it!

Stop following me.

Well, I want my family back.

Well, you can't have it.

I'm sorry for you,

but it's too late.

Well, listen...

Baby, I'm dying.

Yeah, I'm-I'm sick as a dog.

I'll be dead in six weeks.

I'm dying.

What are you talking about?

What's happening?

Oh, I'm sorry.

I didn't know.

Well, what'd they say?

What is the prognosis?

Take it easy, Ethel.

Now, hold-hold on, baby,

hold on.

Hold on, okay?

Ethel, hold on, hold on.

Where is the doctor?

Don't... Well, just...

W- Wait a second now.

Wait a second.

Okay, uh, listen,

I'm not dying...

but I need some time.

A month or so, okay?

I want us... I want us to-to...

What's wrong with you?!

Damn!

Ethel.

Are you crazy?!

Ethel, baby...

I am dying.

Are you or aren't you?

What? Dying?

Yeah.

Have you told your children?

More or less.

And are they all right?

It's hard to say.

Who's your father?

His name is Royal Tenenbaum.

You told us he was already dead.

Yeah, well, now

he's really dying.

- Ready.

- Print it.

I am very sorry, Margo.

That's okay.

We're not actually related,

anyway.

True.

I'd like to send a response,

please.

Yes, sir, go ahead.

Dear Mom:

I received your message.

I'm coming home

as soon as possible.

Who do I see about that?

The ship's porter arranged for

Richie to disembark at Halifax

and transfer

to a third-class state room

on board the Queen Helena

destined for

the Eastern seaboard.

His trunks would not arrive

for another 11 days.

Hey, Baumer.

Do you mind if we get

a picture with you?

Not at all.

He had made a request

for his usual escort

the one from his days

on the circuit

to meet him at the pier

by way of the Green Line bus.

Hi.

As always, she was late.

# I've been out walking #

# I don't do too much talking

these days #

# These days #

# These days I seem

to think a lot #

# About the things

that I forgot to do... #

# And other times, I... #

Stand up straight.

Let me get a look at you.

What's so funny?

Well it's nice to see you, too.

That night, Etheline found

all of her children

living together under

the same roof

for the first time in 17 years.

Where's your dad?

The next morning,

Richie woke at dawn.

He had decided birds should not

be keptin cages

fed Mordecai three sardines,

and set him free.

I've missed the hell out of you,

my darlings.
