Waiting for Forever

1

[Bell Clanging]

[Train Horn Blows]

[Man Narrating] If you ask me,

there's a moment in everybody's life

when you're helpless-

just helpless with hope and trust.

And here you go.

[Narrator] And then something happens-

something too big to understand-

and then everything changes forever.

If you ask me, you start out

with goodness so pure and clear,

you don't even know it's there,

because that's the way it is

when you don't know anything.

And then-

- [Loud Thud]

- The news begins to arrive.

[All Screaming]

WAITING FOR FOREVER

[Folk Rock]

[Man] Someday you will find me

- [Children Giggling]

- I haven't gone too far

I miss the way we were back then

- How we laughed

- [Children Laughing]

I can feel you in my heart

There's a world in your eyes

I can see it getting brighter

All the hours

that we turned into days

We were young

Seemed like life would go on,

last forever

All I had was you by my side

Emma.

[Man] Miss Twist?

You have to board now.

Thank you.

[Train Passing]

- [Children Giggling]

- Someday you'll answer

Remember how we were

[Train Passes]

When all our hopes and dreams

[Children Laughing, Chattering]

Just glided through the air

I can feel it in my heart

- [Children Laughing]

- [Dog Barking]

I can feel you in my heart

[No Audible Dialogue]

That's the way that it was

In the past you remember

When we ran

through the winds and the rain

We were young

Seemed like life would go on,

last forever

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

And now everything has changed

[Woman]

Why you still chewin' on that cigar?

Here. Put it down.

I-I got to hold on to something-

something in this life.

Oh, my goodness.

I just wanted to say thank you

very much for picking me up.

Well, you welcome, young man.

Honey, he only stopped

and picked you up to annoy me.

- No, to neutralize you.

- What?

My birthday cigar-

now that's meant to annoy you.

- Wait. Today's your birthday?

- Actually, it was yesterday.

- Sixty-two years old.

- Well, happy birthday.

Well, thank you, young man.

Sit back.

Dorothy and me- we like to drive

straight through the night.

Ain't that right, Dorothy?

Yes, baby. That's right.

Give me this nasty thing.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Could you take me to the Carlton,

please?

- You got it.

- Thank you.

- [Man] You married?

- Not officially.

But l'll tell you the truth,

I might as well be.

- You got a girlfriend then?

- I certainly do.

That's why I'm going back

to Pennsylvania.

I'm going back to the place

where we both were born.

Her parents still live there.

- Her name is Emma.

- Emma.

Emma!

So how long have you and Emma

been together?

Oh. Well, what exactly

do you mean by "together"?

Well, together- a couple. Couple.

Well, I- I guess

I'd have to say forever, sir.

I mean, I-

We went to school until I was 10.

That's probably more what you mean.

And then I, um, moved away.

So you and Emma live together now

in Pennsylvania?

No, no. She's mostly in California,

but her dad is sick, I hear,

so she's-

- You-You hear?

- Pardon?

- You hear her dad is sick.

- No. My friend told me.

- My best friend Joey-

- Wait, wait. No, no, no, no, no.

Just- Just a moment now.

Maybe it's none of your business,

Albert.

- Dorothy!

- No. You leave that boy alone.

Dry up now.

Goodness.

Stop that. If you don't stop-

Stop that!

[Laughing]

Doggone you!

- You hound dog.

- [Laughing]

Silly man.

Here you go.

Hey. You know, I know this

may sound like a line, but...

aren't you that girl on the TV show?

You look just like this chick that's

on this TV show that my wife watches.
