Waiting for Forever Page #5

Synopsis: Since his parents died in a train crash, Will Donner refused to grow up and became an unemployed drifter, aimless except for one obsession: his undeclared love for neighborhood girl Emma Twist, whom he stalked at a distance throughout the country. When she, now an actress, returns to their home town for her terminally ill, grossly cynical father, Will stays with his unsympathetic, conventional brother Jim, whose wife and kid adore the free-spirited silly uncle, whom neighboring friend Joe and his family cheerfully put up. Now it's time to face Emma.

How would that make you feel?

Oh!

Well, now.

- Isn't that tub nice?

- Mmm.

It's supposed to be just for

your father, but I love it.

- Do you love it?

- I do.

Oh, thank you.

[Emma] Hmm.

- It's so weird.

- What, honey? What's weird?

I don't know.

I was little. Suddenly I'm not little.

[Chuckles]

I mean, that tree house-

it seems like a dream.

I remember Daddy making it.

I was the nail girl.

Now look at it.

Look at me. [Chuckles] Look at us.

Poof. It's just so weird.

[Sighs]

Was I a nice little girl?

Oh, for heaven sakes,

why would you even ask me that?

You were the most wonderful,

clever, bright,

happy, happy,

happy little girl that ever was.

And you haven't changed a bit.

[Miranda Groans]

Are those bugs getting to you?

Because they're certainly getting to me.

- Let's go inside.

- Okay.

[Gasping]

[Train Passing]

[Train Passing]

At least I know where to find you.

Susan's making dinner.

Kids want to see you. Get in.

[Gasping]

What's wrong with you?

I don't know.

You don't know?

- Nothing. It's okay. I'm fine.

- Mm-hmm.

I just gotta make sure

that you're real children.

It's very important with juggling.

Not- Not little goblins

or anything like that.

The child here is not real.

It's an alien.

- [Giggling]

- [Laughing]

All right. Okay.

Really. I'm gonna- Whoa. Whoa.

- Higher!

- Okay.

- Yay!

- [Giggling]

- [Sizzling]

- Food!

- Ooh! Ooh!

- Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

- Oh! Oh!

- [Splash]

[Both Laughing]

[Girl] He gets paid 40 bucks.

Isn't that right, Uncle Will?

We're gonna have to get Q-tips,

because I said "ducks."

- I get paid in little fuzzy baby ducks.

- Ducks?

- [Quacking]

- Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Is that really true, Willie?

- Do you really make $40 a day?

- Uh, on a good day.

Wow. See?

- [Boy Chuckling]

- Yeah?

How much you paying in tax

on that $40 that you're making?

Come on. You've gotta be kidding.

Really, Jim?

What? I'm just curious. Does he pay tax

on the money that he makes?

What's wrong with that? Should I?

You don't need to pay any income tax.

Okay?

Want some dessert?

Maybe you'd like a cup of coffee

or tea or something like that?

- Yeah.

- That's the solution...

to the problem, Will.

You just don't worry about it.

Problem? What problem? I mean,

where's the problem?

He- He doesn't have a problem.

He doesn't have a problem.

He doesn't have a home.

Hey, guys. Eat your salad.

Please. Thank you.

He doesn't have a job. I have a home.

No. A room in some

fleabag motel is not a home.

Doesn't have any clothes.

Doesn't have a car.

- I had a car.

- You had a car?

Yeah, but I hated it, 'cause I always

had to put it somewhere.

Yeah. Life is tough,
