All language subtitles for The.Age.of.Adaline.2015.WS.1080p.BluRay.x264-HD4U

On December 3 1st, 2014,

a taxi cab traveled
through San Francisco

from Chinatown to Marin..

The car carried a
single passenger,

a woman..

Her birth name, Adeline Bowman.

Current alias, Jennifer Larson.

This is the first and
last chapter of her story.

- Uh, sorry, you just got to be, uh, quiet.
My dad, he's still sleeping.

He works nights. Come on in.

I, uh, finished the color seps and
the digital printing last night.

I pulled some line art
from the Internet...

and printed the imperfections.
See, that's kind of my secret.

The dust marks and
the discoloration.

No one's going to question
that detail in a million years.

So, why 29? I mean...

If I were you, I would
shave a couple years off.

You could definitely
get away with it.

- You're very kind, Tony.

Nice work.

- It was a pleasure doing business
with you. If any of your friends...

- Why are you doing this?
- Come again?

- You're a smart kid.
Forgery is a felony.

$250,000 fine,
six years in jail.

- Shit. You're... you're a cop?

- No. I'm about as far from
law enforcement as you can get.

I just hate to see
wasted potential, Jeff.

- Tony. It's Tony.

- The autographed baseballs in
your bedroom. Made out to Jeff.

Don't get sloppy. It's the
little things that trip you up.

Honey, I'm home.

Reese?

Hi. Hi.

There we go.

You're going to love
the new farmhouse.

Clean air, acres and acres
of woods, a mountain stream.

You'll feel like a puppy again.

Did you know that your great-great
grandmother was born just a few towns over?

So was mine. Not at the
same time, of course.

Oh, I got to go to work.

The Civic Archives, please.

- It may take a while.
Market's jammed.

- Okay, then please
take California to Hyde.

- There's construction on Hyde.

- Why don't you stay on this?

Take this to Gough, Gough to
Bush, Bush to Polk, Polk to Grove,

and then just leave me
on the corner of Market.

- Do you want my job?
- You never know.

- Morning, Jenny.
- Morning.

- Morning.
- Hi, Kenneth.

- We thought you might
not be coming in today,

being New Year's Eve and all.
- Well, it's still a Wednesday.

The fun doesn't start
till tonight anyway.

- Well, are you up for a
little excitement right now?

- Sure, what is it?
- Your favorite.

The news reel archive. It's
finally being digitized.

We need a little help getting
it ready to be shipped.

- I'd love to.

Adeline Marie Bowman was born at
1 2:01 a.m., January 1 st, 1908

at Children's Hospital,
San Francisco.

The only child of Faye
and Milton Bowman.

[On June 16th, 1929]

just as Adeline Bowman and her
mother stopped to admire the expense

where three years hence'

construction would be finished
on the Golden Gate Bridge,

a young engineer displayed
uncommon gallantry.

87 days later

Adeline married
Clarence James Prescott

at Old Saint Mary's
Cathedral in San Francisco.

- Very nice.

- Three years later, Adeline
gave birth to a baby girl.

They named her Flemming, after
Adaline's paternal grandmother.

On February 17th, 1937

eight workers and two
engineers lost their lives

when a section of scaffolding
fell through a safety net

during construction of
the Golden Gate Bridge.

Among the deceased
was Adeline's husband.

Ten months after
her husband's death

Adeline was driving north to
her parents' beach cottage...

Where five-year-old Flemming
was waiting up for her...

when something highly
unusual occurred.

Something almost magical..

Snow fell in Sonoma
County, California..

The immersion in
the frigid water...

caused Adaline's body to
go into an anoxic reflex,

instantly stopping her breathing
and slowing her heartbeat.

Within two minutes

Adeline Bowman '3 core temperature
had dropped to 87 degrees.

Her heart stopped beating..

At 8:55, a bolt of lightning
struck the vehicle...

discharging half a billion
volts of electricity

and producing 60,000
amperes of current.

Hts effect was threefold..

First, the charge defibrillated
Adeline Bowman '3 heart.

Second, she was jolted
out of her anoxic state,

causing her to drew her
first breath' in two minutes.

Third,

based on Von Lehman's Principle
of Electron Compression

in deoxyribonucleic acid,

which will be discovered
in the year 2035,

Adeline Bowman will henceforth
be immune to the ravages of time.

She will never age another day..

As the years passed, Adeline
credited her unchanging appearance

to a combination
of a healthy diet,

exercise, heredity
and good luck.

- Adeline?

- Miriam, hello.

- My God. You haven't
changed a bit.

- Oh, that's very
kind of you to say.

- Flemming, you're all grown up.

- That's what I keep telling my
mom, but she doesn't believe me.

- Oh, darling. I'm sorry,
we really must leave.

- But you look like sisters.

- You better stop or it'll
go straight to my head.

- How is that possible?

- A new face cream from Paris.

- Made from the royal
jelly of the queen bee.

- Okay, darling. Bye, now.
Great seeing you.

Action was required.

Just weeks later when, living
a quiet suburban existence,

Adeline was pulled over for
a minor traffic infraction.

- Ma'am, it says here you
were born January 1st, 1908.

- That's right.

- That would make you...

45 years old.

- Yes.
- Ma'am, I'm going to hold onto this.

When you come by the
station house to pick it up,

please bring your
birth certificate.

- I'd be happy to, Officer.
Is tomorrow morning alright?

- Sure.

Soon after, Adeline moved
back to San Francisco

and took a clerical job
at the school of medicine.

There she availed herself'

of every opportunity to
research her condition.

After a year of intense study

Adeline Bowman was forced
to confront the fact

that there was absolutely no scientific
explanation for her condition.

- Are you a member of
the Communist Party?

Or have you ever been a
member of the Communist Party?

- Adeline?

- Oh, I'm sorry. You
have the wrong person.

- We're from the Federal Bureau
of Investigation, Miss Bowman.

We'd like to ask you a few
questions, if you don't mind.

- Why? I've done nothing wrong.

I'm a good American.

How dare you bother me at
my place of employment?

- It couldn't be helped, ma'am.

We have no record of your residence.
This way, please.

Nothing to worry
about, Miss Bowman.

We're just going to
run a few tests on you.

What's the status, boys?

- If anyone contacts you,

tell them that I went to Europe on
vacation, that I never came back.

The next time we see each
other, I'll have a new identity.

I'll always be your mother.

You'll just have to
introduce me as your friend.

- Mama, no.

- It has to be this way. Here.

To ensure the freedom and safety
of herself and her daughter,

Adeline vowed to keep moving..

Changing her name, residence,
and appearance every decade.

And never to speak a
word of her fate...

to another living soul..

In seven weeks, when Jennifer
Larson disappears forever,

and Susan Fleisher takes up residence
in a remote farmhouse in Ashton, Oregon,

Adeline Bowman, aside from
one moment of weakness,

will have kept her vow
for the past 60 years.

(“phone ringing)'

- Hello, Regan.

- Amanda, you're not going
to stand me up, are you?

- You asked me that last year.
Why don't you trust me?

- I just can't believe you
haven't got a better offer.

- Impossible.

I'll pick you up at 8?

- Actually, that's the
other reason I called.

The Grand Hotel of Nob Hill
is sending a car for me.

- Look at you.

- Have you ever been there for New Year's?
- Only once. Ages ago.

K- I guess it's pretty lavish..

- Well, I better get to it then.
I'll see you soon.

Bye, Regan.

Hmm.

You hungry?

No?

Oh, you just want to come out
with me tonight, don't you?

Sorry, buddy, it's
a girls' night.

Avery, if you don't remove your hand...
- Both my hands are on the table!

- Allison.

(“Adeline laughing)'

- Thank you.

- Happy New Year.
- Oh, hey, Amanda!

That was you
clapping, wasn't it?

- How did you guess?

- You have good manners.
- We're the last two.

- Ah... Hey, grab a glass.

- Tell me, what did I miss?

- Uh, not much. Just
some happy chatter.

It's funny. No matter
how old you get,

New Year's Eve still feels like the
one night where anything is possible.

- What's your resolution?

- Same as always. True love.
How about you?

- To live this year as
though it were my last.

- You never know. It
could be, at our age.

So, hell, yeah. Let's live.

Be right back.

- Beware, bachelor at
3:00 getting his nerve up.

- Mmm. What's he like?

- Brown hair, icy blues, mid 303.
- How come when I'm with you,

we always get hit on by babies?
- Shh. He's here.

- Good evening, ladies.
- Welcome to the cougar den.

- I know, we don't look a day over 28.
You're too kind.

What's your name?
- Dale Davenport.

- Dale's a painter.

- Really?
- Yeah. A starving artist, though,

because he doesn't accept
his affluent family's help.

- I'm sorry, have me met?

- No, no. Just your Cartier wrist
watch, one of the very first.

I'm assuming it was given to
you by a well-to-do grandfather.

- Great-grandfather. But how
do you know that I paint?

Your hands are covered in paint.

- Ah.
- That one was easy.

- Well, Picasso, have a seat.
We're going to buy you a drink.

- Um...

Happy New Year.

- Happy New Year.
- Thank you.

Six, five, four,

three, two, one.

Happy New Year!

- Hello.

Thank you, sweetheart.

Oh...

No, no, you don't have to sing.

No, please, please, don't sing.
I've already had enough birthdays.

Aw, where are you?

You didn't go out at all?

Hmm. Well, I don't blame you.

Are we still on for tomorrow?

Great. Alright, get some sleep.
I love you.

Good night.

Wherever he is, I hope he's
got one hell of an excuse.

I'm sorry, I didn't
mean to scare you.

It's just... Isn't there
some sort of tradition

if you're alone on New Year's Eve that
you're supposed to kiss a stranger?

Damn it. You've heard it before.

- Just once. From a
young Bing Crosby...

type.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year!

- I am too old for this.
- Oh, no, don't disappear.

- I'll call you tomorrow and you
can tell me everything I missed.

- I love you.
- Bye, dear.

(“Elevator bell dinging)'

- Ah!
- Oh!

- Oh, well, that'll teach me not to
put my hand where it doesn't belong.

- Something tells me it won't.

- You know, that
was a risky move.

- What was?

- Not introducing
yourself before you leave.

- I'm a daredevil.

- I'm Ellis. It's a
pleasure to meet you.

- Like the island?
- No man is.

- I'm Jenny.
- Like the poem?

No?

"Say I'm weary, say I'm sad"

"Say that health and
wealth have miss'd me"

"Say I'm growing old, but add"

"Jenny kiss'd me"

- Who wrote that?

- Oh, one of the
romantics, I think.

- Well, you're not sure.

- Actually, I am, but I don't want
to come across like a know-it-all.

- Too bad. I adore know-it-alls.

- Wa...

So, where are you off to?

- Someplace with better food.
My apartment.

Yourself?

- Back to the party. I just wanted
to spend 27 floors with you.

- That was a risky move.
- What?

- Leaving your date upstairs.
I hope it was worth it.

- What are you talking about?
- Oh, Come on. That beautiful woman in blue.

Does her name happen
to end in "kova"?

- No. Her name is Agnes Boggs.

Her uncle's the chef. I'll let
him know you liked his food.

And she's not my date.

- Taxi, ma'am?
- Yes, please. Thank you.

- Good night.
- Oh...

I'll just wait with you.

- So you can find
out where I live?

- It does make it a lot
easier to send flowers.

- Okay. Thank you,
but I'll manage.

Goodbye. It's been an
adventure meeting you.

Thank you.

- Wait!
- Oh!

There you go again, putting your
hand in places it doesn't belong.

- How do we get in touch?

- Happy New Year, Ellis.

Thank you, sir.

- Am I late?
- No more than usual.

- Happy Birthday, Mama.

- Thank you, darling.

I'm so happy to see you.

You know, you don't have
to still give me cards.

I love you.

- I love you, too.

So, when are you moving back up?
- Third week in February.

- Right on schedule.
- Of course.

I see you already forgot our
little talk about sodium?

- No. I am simply
choosing to ignore it.

Actually, um...

I'm thinking of moving myself.

- But you love where you live.

- I do. But, you know,
there's just too many stairs.

Last week, Kay Alfonso
fell and she broke her hip.

The doctor said she might
never leave the hospital.

And then the very next day,
Molly Andrews called me

and she told me about this wonderful
retirement community in Arizona.

She moved in last spring.

She said she'd never been
happier in her whole life.

What's the matter?

- I only bought in Oregon so
that I could be close to you.

So you could come
up for long visits.

Move in with me eventually.

- We haven't lived together
since I was in high school.

- But you're not
getting any younger.

What if you moved to Arizona
and something happened to you?

What if you got sick?

- Then I would hope that you
would come and take care of me.

- What if I'm too late?

- No. No.

We cannot do this.
Not on your birthday.

It's a holiday.

I nearly fell off my feet.

- What are you two clucking about?
- Major news.

Mr. Jones is donating $50,000 worth of
first edition classics to this library.

- What books? Do you know?
- We're going to find out very soon

because his office called to say that
he'll be here to deliver them himself.

- Hi. I'm Ellis.
- Oh, no.

- Oh, good. Welcome, Mr. Jones.
- Thank you.

- On behalf of the San
Francisco Heritage Society,

I'd like to express our sincere
gratitude for your most generous gift.

- I left them in shipping and receiving,
but I'm sure they'll be right up.

- If you don't mind, we'd like a
photograph of you donating the books.

- Yeah. Sure.

Can you give me
one second, though?

Hey. It's me.

The know-it-all.

- What are you doing here?
- I got something for you, too.

Some flowers.

- Daisy Miller by Henry James.

Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury.

White Oleander, Janet Fitch.

Very clever.

How did you know I work here?

- I just joined the board. I saw
you coming out of our meeting.

- Oh.

You could have mentioned
that in the elevator.

- If we had met in a taller building,
I would have had time to cover that.

I don't know about you, but
I'm ready for some donating.

- Great. I'll be here.

- No way. I would like for you to accept
the books on behalf of the library.

- Oh, no. I can't do that.

- Yes, you can.

- No, I don't want
my photo taken.

- Don't worry.
You look stunning.

- It's not about vanity.

I just don't like people
taking my photograph.

- Suit yourself. If you won't
accept them, I won't donate them.

- You wouldn't do that.
- I will. I'll even have a book burning.

- I just... I don't like
having my photo taken, Ellis.

- Okay, fine, fine.
Here's an alternative.

Let me take you out tomorrow.

- Okay.

That's impossible.

- Alright. Well, I'll just pack up
the books then. It's fine. Yeah.

- Where?

- Someplace you've never been.

- Well, if it's in this
city, that's unlikely.

- Try me.

- You can leave your boots at
the front when you're done.

And I'll be right outside.
- We will. Thank you, Tom.

- Alright.

- Alright. I give up.

- In the first year
of the gold rush,

about 60,000 people came
to San Francisco by ship

and a lot of them hightailed
it straight into the hills,

leaving their boats behind.

Hundreds of boats
were left onshore.

Downtown San Francisco was
built right on top of them.

- Oh, I didn't know that.

- Now, city services found this when
they were digging for a utility line.

- Oh, my God.

- Isn't it something?

- Oh... Is that-l

- Yeah, that's a boat.

- Oh, wow.

This is incredible.

- So, we had the digging
stopped immediately, of course,

because we want this made
available to the public.

- We?

- The San Francisco Historical
Preservation Society.

- Let me guess,
you're on the board.

- Yeah, well, they'll let
anyone on the board these days.

- So, how did you come by your
fortune anyway? Inheritance?

- Luck. Uh... I was a
math major in college,

and in my spare time, I developed an
algorithm for analyzing climate data.

But my roommate figured out that it could
also be used to make economic forecasts.

So we started a company
in our dorm room,

sold it three years later, and then
with his half, he retired to Fiji,

and with my half, um,
you know, I'm doing this.

- Your job is giving away money.
- Yeah, that's right.

But if you want to make a real
difference in this world, it's, uh...

it's a lot harder than it seems.

- What about you, Jenny?

- Oh. Um...

I own a dog.

- Okay.

- I should be getting back.

- But we're having lunch.

- Um, it's too late, Ellis.
I only get an hour.

- Okay. Let me at
least walk you back.

- Thank you for all of this. It's
just that you should know, I'm moving.

- Huh.

Okay. I have an idea.

I'll tell you a joke
and if you laugh,

you have to go outwith me one
more time before you move away.

I mean, if you don't laugh,

I'll know we're incompatible
and I'll gladly give up.

- That must be one hell of a joke.
- It's the funniest in human history.

But it's subtle, sophisticated,
so you probably won't even get it.

- Yeah, probably not.

- Do you like baseball?

- Yeah, I... I love it.
- Good.

So, one day at Fenway
Park, Ted Williams...

Do you know who he was?

- Oh, come on. The Thumper. Career
batting average of .344, right?

- What? Yeah. That Ted Williams.

Anyway, so, he's
hanging around Fenway,

and this horse walks up and says,
"I want to play for the Sox..."

- An actual horse?
- An actual horse.

- Hmm.
- So, Ted's like, "Okay, what can you do?"

And the horse says, "I can hit just
like you only a whole lot better."

So he picks up a bat with his
teeth and Ted's like, "Okay."

And he throws him a
few and sure enough...

Into the bleachers.

So, Ted's like, "Whoa,
what else can you do?"

And the horse says, "Well,
I can play shortstop."

80 Ted hits him a few ground
balls and sure enough...

- He's a vacuum cleaner.

- Yeah. 80, Ted's, like, "Whoa!
Can you pitch?"

And the horse just looks
at him and says, "Pitch?"

"Who ever heard of
a horse pitching?"

Yeah!

Yes! Ladies and gentlemen!

- Oh, no.

- The lady has been conquered!

- That's the worst joke I've
ever heard in my entire life.

- Thank you.
- It wasn't a compliment.

- Dinner, Tuesday, my
place, 30318th Street.

8:00.

- Fine.

Good morning, Miss Larson.
Good to see you again.

- Good morning.
- So, what can we do for you today?

- I'd like to add another
signee to my account.

- May I ask the reason?
- I'll be traveling for a while.

- Traveling...

Okay. I'll get the paperwork.
I'll be right back.

- All of these companies
rate very highly with us.

- What's this? The Haloid
Photographic Company?

- They've been around 50 years.
They make photo paper and equipment.

They're developing something
called electrophotography.

It could revolutionize the business.
But you won't see any immediate returns.

It could be a few years away.
- That's alright.

- I'd hate to see you
tie up your money.

- I'm patient.

- Well, what do you know.
They changed their name.

They're now called...

Uh...

What the heck? It starts with an X.
It's, um...

- It's Greek. It's
pronounced Xerox.

- Xerox.

- So, we can start with
the signature card.

- What is the name
of the cosigner?

- Susan Fleisher.
- Susan Fle... F-L-F...

Now I made you some salmon.

This no-eating nonsense just won't do
if you're going to be a proper farm dog.

I want you to eat every last bite.
Do you understand me?

Oh! There we go.

Yeah.

Hello?

Ellis?

- Am I interrupting?
- Hey!

I was afraid you got cold feet.

- No, no, just
trouble getting a cab.

- Hey.

- Can I take your coat?

- Okay.

Um, your... your
place, it's, uh...

- Unfinished?
- Yes.

Um, I noticed that part.
Is it an artistic choice?

- No.

I have to paint and plaster and
do all the wiring and stuff,

but I'm doing it all myself,

so, it's going to
take a little while.

- I think your food is burning.

- Ah!

Just, uh, make
yourself comfortable.

Sit down, relax.

- Okay.

What is it that you're cooking?

- Well, it's a delicacy which, to be
honest, is not for everyone. So...

I hope you like it.

Are you ready?
- Would you like a drum roll?

- Voila'.

It was between this
and stuffed quail.

Please don't tell me
you're disappointed.

- I... I'm truly overjoyed.
- Yes!

- Dig in.
- Okay.

- Well?
- It's as perfect as the music is painful.

- You don't like jazz?
- No, I love jazz. This is something else.

- My mom grew up in Maine.
She's a real New Englander.

Sweet, but tough as nails.

My dad, on the other hand,

has his head in the stars.
Literally.

He's an astronomer.

He just retired from Stanford.

His claim to fame is that he
discovered an unusual comet.

- Unusual in what way?

- Well, it has a
mathematically perfect perigee.

80, based on his calculations, it would
pass by Earth in the winter of 1981.

- Did it?
- No.

No. It did not.

But that didn't stop us from
looking for it every year.

It was kind of a ritual we
had when I was growing up.

My dad is still looking.

- Well, one more glass
of wine and I may see it.

Oh, no. No, thank you. Please.

- Oh, come on. You know,
they have a saying in Italy.

- "Years, lovers, wine, cups..."

- "Years, lovers,
and glasses of wine.

"These are things that
should never be counted."

- You have no idea.

I like your view.

- Mm.

Thank you.

I like the way you read.

- What?

- The first time I saw you,
coming out of the board meeting,

you were reading.

Your hair was pulled back and
you were wearing a blue dress.

It was a book in braille.
I slowed down to watch.

K- How long did you watch for?

- Long enough to realize
you weren't blind.

And that I had to meet you.

I didn't know when
or how, but I...

I knew I would.

- I think I, um...

I think I remember that day.
Uh...

Um... Yes, um, it was
a book in Norwegian,

and because of all the
umlauts over the vowels,

it made it nearly
impossible to comprehend.

- You're kidding.
- Yes.

- You're kidding.
- Yes, of course I am.

It was braille for beginners
or nursery rhymes or something.

- You can tell me anything
you want and I'll believe it.

I know almost nothing about you.

- It's better this way.

- No, it's not.

- Tell me something I can hold
onto forever and never let go.

- Let go.

- Hi.

Good morning.

Okay, move your arms. Some
of us work for a living.

Oh, okay, I get it.

You're holding me hostage.

- Will you ever come back?

Are you sure there's no one there
who speaks English or even Spanish?

No, no. We want it all.

- I have to go.
- Hold on. U no momento, por favor.

Just give me a second, okay? I'm
trying to deal with this in Portuguese.

- I can't.

What are you trying to say?

- The Rainforest Trust
wants to buy 5,000 acres.

- Hmm, well, you're not even close.
Here.

- Thank you.

- I'm late for work.

- Wait. That's it?

- Let go.

It's $1.50, ma'am.

Ma'am?

- I changed my mind. Just
keep driving, please.

- You got it.

(“Door opening)'

- Reese.

Reese?

Baby. Are you okay?

Are you okay, baby?

His urine creatine
levels are way too high.

Which means his
kidneys are failing..

The toxins are building up in his body.
He can't handle it.

- Is he in pain?

- It's difficult to say.

- If you were me,
what would you do?

- I'd be thinking about...

what a wonderful life he's had.

And how lucky you are to
have found each other.

Um...

May I have a moment
alone with him, please?

- Of course.

- Hey, Jenny, this is Ellis.
I tried you a couple times.

I hope you got my messages.
Call me back.

Jenny.

- What are you doing here?

- I tried to call, but...
- How did you get my address?

- Um...

The library.

Come on, don't be upset.
I didn't know what else to do.

- My dog, I had to, um...

I had to put him down.
- Oh, no. I'm so sorry to hear that.

- You should have waited
for me to contact you.

- Um, Jenny...

- There's a reason I
don't give out my address.

- I'm sorry, honestly.

- This isn't going to work.
I'm moving.

- Are you serious?

Hi. For you.

- Barbara Ireland, before
she moved to Florida,

she got rid of all of her books.

I could no sooner get rid
of this book than I could...

Well, it looks like I'm not
the only one getting nostalgic.

- You have had such
a wonderful life.

- Yeah, I like to think so.

I just wish you...

You know, that you could have
been there for more of it.

- So do I.

- Remember that?

1954. I was a junior in college.

That's the last
photo I have of you.

- Well, if you've seen
one, you've seen them all.

- It's true.

What is it?

Huh? What's wrong?

- I'm just tired of running,

of lying to good people.

- Then stop.

Nobody's chasing you anymore.

Anyone who was ever
suspicious is long dead.

You don't have to
be alone forever.

Don't you miss having
someone to love?

It's been such a long time.

- Well, it's not the same
when there's no future.

- What are you talking about?
You've got nothing but future.

- I mean a future together,
of growing old together.

Without that, love is...

It's just heartbreak.

- It's the same for everybody.

How many times has
my heart been broken?

- Too many.

- If I had your looks and your
energy, I'd fall in love tomorrow.

- I really would.

- I did meet someone.
- What?

- On New Year's Eve. He
jumped in my elevator.

- Why didn't you tell me?
- Because I knew you'd look at me like that.

Don't get too excited. I, um...

I told him to leave me alone.

I was horrible.

Cruel.

- Tell him you're sorry.
Tell him you made a mistake.

- I can't. I'm leaving.

- You're moving to
Oregon, not Timbuktu.

Come on.

If you won't do it for
yourself, do it for me.

Please?

- Hello.
- Can I help you?

- Um, I'm here to see Ellis Jones.
He's... he's not expecting me.

- Oh. Let's see what
we can do about that.

And you are?

- Incredibly sorry.

- Incredi...

Mr. Jones, you got
a guest down here.

I bet you got a name.

- Jennifer Larson.

- Okay.

- Please tell him I understand
if he doesn't want to see me.

I'm just here to say I'm sorry.

And that my life has
been unbelievable

since longer than he can
imagine, and I just...

I was emotional the
other day, and...

Now I realize how incredibly
kind to me he's been,

and I've just been too
stupid to accept it.

And I know better now, and...

that's why I want to tell
him how sincerely sorry I am.

- Okay.

- And ask that if he could
come downstairs, maybe,

let me make it up to him
by taking him out tonight.

Please.

- Uh, there's a Jennifer Larson. She
says she understands if you don't...

Oh, you heard that. Okay, good.

He wants to know where
you're taking him.

- Someplace he's
never been before.

- Hello.
- Hey, Jenny.

- Come on.

- Alright. You don't actually think
this is my first chop shop, do you?

- Oh, be quiet. There's more
here than meets the eye.

This used to be one of the most
popular picture houses in the city.

- A movie theater?
- Yes.

In the 19308, a woman
named Mary Elizabeth Woods

read about a chemical magnate who
had created a drive-in theater

in Camden, New Jersey.

And so, naturally, she needed one
of her own here in San Francisco.

Everyone thought she was crazy
as 3 Icon, which she was.

She would sleep with anyone
who wasn't her husband.

And she used to put on these airs like
she was better than everyone else.

Which, in fact...

Anyway.

Because of local ordinances, she
couldn't have an open-air theater,

so she brought all
the cars in here.

That's the screen right there.

It was spectacular...

I imagine.

Are you ready for the best part?
- Sure.

- Okay. Look up.

- Oh!

- She had photo-luminescent
filaments installed.

They took the time to
create the constellations.

Isn't it beautiful?

- Yeah.

Haha. What are you doing?

- Come on.

Cheers.

- The great paradox
of all this is that

the better our instruments
get, the farther we can see,

but not into the
future, into the past,

events whose light hasn't
even reached us yet.

- I don't think I'll ever understand
why so few people care about history.

- The future has
its charms, too.

We could talk about ours.

- Ellis...
- Not the distant future.

I'm talking about this weekend.

- What did you have in mind?

- My parents are having a party to
celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary.

It's just a couple
hours from here.

Come with me.

- Okay.

- Can I drive?
- Huh.

Oh, my God. You know, you rarely
see a Saab in the Daytona 500.

There's a reason for that.

You might want to
consider an occasional tap

on that square
pedal by your foot.

- I don't know what
you're talking about.

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Oh, my God!

Oh, I'm sorry.

What's wrong with you?

Do me a favor. Stop
and pick her up.

- Oh, I'd rather
not get stabbed.

- That's my sister.

- Oh!

Sorry.

- What's up, pussycat?
- Need a ride?

- What's it look like?

- How are you?
- Good. Hi.

- Oh!
- Get out.

Still driving the Saab, huh?
- Yeah. It's good to see you, too.

- Hello.
- Hey.

- Kikki, this is Jenny.

Jenny, this is my sister.

- Nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- You should have told me
you were taking the bus.

We would've picked
you up at the station.

- I stopped using
telephones two months ago.

- Any particular reason?

- To protest the
involvement of telecom firms

in the development of
high-tech weapons systems.

- Oh.

Kikki graduated from Berkeley.
- Ah.

- So, this is the new one, huh?

Have you done him yet?

- Yes, 10 minutes ago,
right where you're sitting.

- So, what's the story with this girl?
She works there?

- I've told you
everything Ellis told me.

- Thank you.
- A beautiful girl..

Working in a public library.

- Maybe she likes books.
And silence.

- Or maybe she googled him

and found out about his
generous contribution

and then worked her way in there so
she could get her hooks into him.

- Yeah, I'll bet that's it.

- Shouldn't they be here by now?
- You clear the table.

- They're here!
- Yeah, yeah.

- How do I look?

- Very pretty.

- Oh, there you are!
- Hey, Mom.

- Oh, honey. Oh, you look great.

- Look who we picked up on the road.
- Hi, baby.

- So, this is Jenny.
- Hello.

- It's so nice to meet you.
- Nice to meet you.

- You must be exhausted
after your trip.

- Oh, no, it was nothing.
- We made it in, like, 18 minutes.

- Now, I'm not amused. He
knows I hate it when he speeds.

- It wasn't me, it was Jenny. I swear.
She thinks she has nine lives.

- Let me take your coat.
- Where have you been?

What, did you forget
where we live?

- No.

- Um, this is my dad, William.
Dad, this is...

- Adaline.

- Jenny, actually.

- Dad, are you okay?

- I'm sorry, it's just...

You look exactly like this
old friend of mine. Um...

Adaline Bowman.

- That's my mother.

- You're joking? Really?

- Yeah.
- Oh, my gosh.

- Did you know her?

- Yeah. Yeah...

We were very close. I...
I knew her in London.

- Yeah. Yeah, she
lived there in the 603.

Right before she moved to
Paris, and met my father.

- Incredible. What are the odds?
- What a small world.

- Wow, wow.

The resemblance is...
is absolutely amazing.

You must hear that all the time.

- For as long as I can remember.

- Wow. We were very close.

- You said that already, honey. I
can't believe you never mentioned her.

- Oh, yeah, I must have.

- No, no. I remember your
close, close friends.

- How is she? How is she doing?

- She passed away.

Six years ago.

- No. Really?

Oh, wow. I'm so sorry.

Um...

Extraordinary woman.

- Yeah, well, it
runs in the family.

- Um...

Come on. You want
something to eat?

A drink? Yeah, yeah,
I made cheesecake.

- Um...

We're kind of tired, actually.

Um... I think we'll head
up, if that's okay with you.

- Me, too.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

- Alright. Now, I have
you in the back bedroom.

- Ah, you're in the back.
- Um...

- Hey.
- Hey.

It's so nice to meet you.

- Dad.
- Oh, yeah.

Hey, baby.

Miss!

Miss.

You know, if you keep doing that,
you're going to flood your engine.

- Thank you. Thank you
for the useful tip.

- Well, you're going to get
one hell of a tan at least.

- I'm sorry. I've done everything
I could to get this thing started.

It just... It won't work.

- Alright, all it needs
is a push start. Um...

Just lose the brake,
I'll give you a push,

you pop your clutch
and you'll take off.

- Okay.

Thank you.

- Ready?
- Ready. You ready?

- Okay.
- Okay.

Okay, now pop your clutch.

- Ah!

Thank you!

- You're welcome.

They would spend the
next five weeks together.

And Adeline did something she had
promised herself she would never do.

- You know, you still
haven't told me your name.

- Adaline Bowman.

But my friends call me Della.
- That's beautiful.

- Thank you.

Three weeks later, his
semester completed,

William flew home to
the United States.

Adeline came with him..

- Hey.

How did you sleep?

- Fine.
- Good.

I'm sorry about last night. I didn't
mean to embarrass you. It just...

I must be losing it.

- It's okay.

- Hey.
- When did you come up?

- Not too late.
I read for a while.

- Hmm.

Hi, baby.

Where's Jenny?: She'll
be down in a sec.

She was up all night tossing and turning.
- Oh.

You know, you've never
told us how you guys met.

- Uh, we met in an
elevator on New Year's Eve.

- Some coffee?
- No, thank you.

- But I'd seen her
once before that. Hey.

It was at the library. She was reading
a book in braille and I just...

I knew she was an original.

- Here you go, baby.
80 was her mom.

How did you meet her mother?
- Uh, it was outside London.

Her car broke down.
I helped her fix it.

- So, she was English.

- Oh, no, no. She was just
there studying French.

- She spoke, like,
what, four languages?

- I... I think so.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

- Jenny's brilliant
with languages, too.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

- 80, um, how old were
you when you met her?

- Oh, I was about, um...

Let's see, it was the second year
of med school, so I was, like, 26.

I was thinking about quitting medicine.
I was bored.

But I was...

I was afraid I was
too old to start over.

I told...

I told Adaline about it and
she just laughed in my face.

She said, "Go for it.
Don't be silly."

"Life's too short."

If it wasn't for her, I probably
wouldn't have found astronomy, physics.

She was only a couple years older
than I was, but she was so wise.

She was so sophisticated.

Um...

She, uh...

What? Honey.
- That's enough, William.

- What? What's going on?

- What, you think this is funny?

- What do you mean?
What did I do?

- "You were very close."
"You were very close."

You said that to me twice now.

And you should see your face
when you talk about her.

Are you going to wax nostalgic
this whole goddamn weekend?

- Look, it's just that she
looks so much like her mother

that I'm remembering things that
I didn't even know I remembered.

- Well, I hate feeling
like second choice.

- What do you mean, second choice?
- Especially this weekend.

- Second choice?
- Yes.

- Forty years, baby. Come on.

Second choice? Uh-uh.

Honey, you're blowing this
all out of proportion.

- Am I?

- Are you jealous?

Huh?

- Yeah, as a matter of fact.

- Look. Look.

It was fleeting.

Inconsequential.

- It sounded like you
were more than that.

I love you.

- I love you, too.
- Come on.

- I'm coming!

It's not the most
romantic weekend.

Thanks for being
such a good sport.

- Of course.
- I promise I'll make it up to you.

Sorry about my dad. It's
really embarrassing.

- He's lovely.

- Hey, your mom must have
really been something.

- Yeah, she was.

Kikki!

- 80, guys, Dad is riding
a 47-game winning streak.

- All the money I spent on your education,
I was hoping for stronger competition.

- Have you played this before?
- No, never.

- Kikki, come on!
- Do I have to?

Yes!

- The idea is to get enough
of these little wedges...

- Of pie.
- They're cheese.

They're wedges. You get enough of them
to fill up your circle and you win. Okay?

Most of the questions are
about the stupidest stuff.

- Hence the word "trivial".
- Yeah, like, here's an example for you.

Um, "On June 22nd, 1938",

"this American boxer retained
his heavyweight championship"

"when he beat Max Schmeling
in the first round."

- Well, that is a tough one.
- I know. What do you think?

- Um... Sonny Liston?

- Joe Louis.

- Good guess, though. Really.

- Yeah. Women and boxing.
It's cute. Okay.

- Excuse me.
- What did you say?

- You know what? Fine then.
Ladies, we're on a team.

Here, roll the dice.
- Here we go. Alright.

Here we go.

- The women are pink.
- Women are pink?

Hmm...

- "Who was the first United States
President to be born in a hospital?"

- Jimmy Carter.

- Jimmy Carter.

She's fast.

Beginner's luck.

I don't think so. Try again.

- "At what event did the
hula hoop make its debut?"

- In 1956 at the World's Fair
in Schenectady, New York.

- 1956, World's Fair,
Schenectady, New York.

- Oh, my God!

- Nice one!
- Wow.

- Cheese.
- Pie.

- Wedge.

- Alright. Come
on, let's do this.

- A lot of pressure.
- You smell something?

Like your winning streak
going up in smoke?

- We used to have
this family joke.

What would happen first,
Dad loses in Trivial Pursuit

or Della finally appears?

- Della?

- Yeah, you remember the
comet I told you about,

the one that my dad discovered?
He named it "Della C 1981"

After my great aunt, Adele.

Okay, let's go. Yeah.

- Dad, come on.
- Here we go.

Jenny.

For the win.

"Of what country was Albert Einstein
offered the presidency in 1952?"

- Um, Israel.

- Israel.

- It's okay. We still love you.

- How does that feel, Dad?
Are you sad?

- I'm alright.

- Let's look at page two, okay?

Section three, paragraph H.

I'm sorry.
- Okay, I'm going to go for a walk.

- Sure.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

Yes. Now let's look at page 10.

- How many stars do you think
there are in our galaxy?

- I don't know, 500 million.

- Couple of 100 billion.

Plato believed that...

every soul has a companion
star it returns to after death,

if you lived a moral life.

- You believe that?

- No. No. I'm a...

I'm a scientist. Plato
was a philosopher, a poet.

- Why did you name your
comet after my mother?

- If my calculations were correct...
They turned out to be wrong.

It would have been the closest approach
to Earth of any comet in 200 years.

In other words,

like your mother...

a near miss.

- What does that mean?

- I was going to propose to her.

I had a...

I had an engagement
ring in my pocket.

She stood me up.

A near miss.

Good night.

- William.

She loved you, too.

- Wow.

And we just met, right?
I know that.

And I should probably
shut up right now.

I'll just shut up.

- Come on. What?

What is it?

I just got to tell you the truth.
I...

I can't imagine my
life without you.

I know it's probably the last thing
you want to hear right now, but...

But I'm falling in love with you, Jenny.
I can't help it.

I don't know what to say.

- Um...

- I wasn't expecting...

- Please don't say anything, alright?
I just want you to know how I feel.

- Oh, hello.

- Jenny.

- Do you know where
everyone went?

- Yeah. Kathy and Kikki went to the
market and Ellis went for a run.

- Okay.
- Hold on. You have a bug in your hair.

- Oh!
- It's alright.

- What is it?
- It's a ladybug.

- Oh, they say
they're good luck.

Did you get it?

- I got it.
- Thank you.

Please tell Ellis
I went for a walk.

- Della, are you okay?
- Oh, my God.

- This is going to sting a little, okay?
- Just do it quickly.

- Don't worry. I'm going to fix you up.
- Okay.

Oh...

- Excuse me. Hi. Uh, do
you mind taking our photo?

- Sure.
- No, no. No, it's okay. I don't...

- It's going to be great. Come on.
You're going to love it.

- No, we're wasting film.

I'm just very shy.

- Three, two, one.

- I know.

I know who you are, Adaline.

- What?

- The scar. The same scar.

I stitched it myself.

Please.

The truth.

William...

- I thought I was
losing my mind.

How? How is this possible?

I don't know.

I was normal.

And then one day,
I just stopped.

I wanted to tell you so badly.

But I couldn't.

You know what they'd do to me.
I would've been a...

- A curiosity.

- A specimen.
- Yes.

- That's why you left?

That's why you disappeared?

Oh...

- You can't imagine
how much it hurt.

- Oh...

I think I...

I think I can.

And you've never told anyone?

- No.

If I had, it would
have been Ellis.

- Don't. Don't run away.

Don't disappear again, please.
For Ellis.

- Adaline.
- Please.

- All these years, you've lived,
but you've never had a life.

Please, for yourself. For Ellis.

Stay, Adaline.

- I don't know how.

- Don't run away, Adaline.
Adaline!

Adaline!

Adaline, don't. Don't.
Adaline, please.

Please don't do this.

Adaline, don't. Think about Ellis.
Please!

Adaline, please! Adaline!

- Dad! Dad!

Dad, where are your keys?

- She's gone.

She's not coming back, son.

- What just happened? What is...
what is this?

Dad, what the hell
did you say to her?

- Nothing.

She can't explain.

- Please tell me what she said.

- That she's not capable.

- Of what?

- Of change.

You have reached
the voicemail...

- Do you love her?

Son.

Listen to me. Do you love her?

- Yes.

- How do you know?

- Dad, I don't...
- It's a simple question.

How do you know?

- Because nothing makes
sense without her.

Hello?

- Oh, darling, I'm so sorry.
I didn't mean to wake you.

- Everything okay?
- I just... I wanted to tell you...

- What is it?

- You're right. No more running.
- Oh, Mama.

- I'll call you tomorrow, okay?
- I 'm so happy to hear that.

- I love you.
- I love you, too.

- Bye.
- Bye, Mama.

The moon is responsible

for much of what takes place
on the surface of the Earth.

A stray meteor hit
the moon in 1178..

The resulting concussion
would cause extreme tides

on every lunar phase in
Tierra del Fuego, Argentina.

A 23% rise in the mean
tide on this night

produced a storm 2,000
miles off the Pacific Coast,

causing an increase in the amount of
molecular ionization in the atmosphere.

And for the first
time in 78 years

snow fell in this part
of Sonoma County..

In the first stages
of hypothermia

the body will try to generate
heat through shivering.

When this fails, it will decrease
the flow of blood to the extremities.

Metabolism slows to a crawl..

You're dying, but
you don't know it..

In the final stages, the victim
breathes only once or twice a minute.

A state of suspended animation..

- Jenny!

At 10:07 p.m.,

Adeline Bowman '3 core temperature
had dropped to 87 degrees.

Her heart stopped beating..

- Wake up.

- At last,

at the age of 107

Adeline Bowman was, by
any definition, dead.

At precisely 10:09 p.m.

paramedics placed two defibrillator
paddles on Adaline Bowman's chest.

They counted the
prescribed five seconds'

before administering 750
volts of electricity.

- How is she?

- We've just run a series of tests
and don't see any long-term damage.

It's quite remarkable, in fact.

- Is she awake?
Can I go see her?

- She's exhausted, but you might
be able to get in a few words.

- Okay. Thank you.

Hi.

Jenny.

- Hey.

I know why you ran away.

- You do?

- It's because of what I said
to you last night, isn't it?

I told you I loved you.

And you got scared and I shouldn't have.
- Come here, Ellis. I love you.

I love you, too.

Oh...

There's something else.

- What? What is it?

- Well, first...

my name isn't Jenny.

- My God! What happened?

- Nothing. Nothing. An accident.
I'm fine. Okay?

- But...
- Hey. I'm better than fine, okay?

This is Ellis.

- Hello.
- Hello.

- He's the man I've
been telling you about.

- Oh. Nice to meet you.

Um... I'm Jenny's grandmother.

What? What is it?

- He knows.

- He knows?

Hey, everybody,

I don't want to ruin the party,
but I want to say something.

First of all, thanks
for being here.

Kathy and I, we're really grateful
that you could all be here.

It means a lot to us...

that you would be here
to help us celebrate

the first... first 40
years of our marriage.

When I first met
this lovely lady,

back in the olden
days, I had, um...

I had a pretty good idea of what
I wanted to do in my job, but...

I didn't really...

know what I wanted to be
as a man, when I grew up.

If I ever grew up.

But the commitment
that she made...

to our marriage
our family, to me,

the... quality of her love...

led me to understand
that I could have

no greater ambition in life

than to be the best...

possible husband I
could be for her.

And I'm still working on it.

So, here's to Kathy,
love of my life,

mate of my soul, mother
of my lovely children.

To Kathy.

To Kathy.

And we are back live
in Times Square,

just a few minutes from the moment
we have all been waiting for,

the big ball drop...
- There you are, honey. Good gm.

Yeah.

Hey, you guys, you better hurry up.
You're going to be late for the event.

Yeah, I've been
ready for 10 minutes.

- Oh, so handsome.
- Thank you.

- I'm ready, too.

- Wow!
- I just need this zipped.

Are you sure you don't
want to come with us?

- I'm positive.

I've got my date right here.
Come here, baby.

- Okay, I love you.

- I love you.

- I have to grab my clutch.
Oh, and my camera.

- Its whiskers are so big.
- Yeah.

- Adaline, are you okay?

- Yes.

Perfect.

The instant Adaline's's heart was
struck by the defibrillator paddles,

the telomere structures in her
genes regained their pliability,

causing her to resume the
natural course of aging.

William was right after all..

The comet Della C 1981
finally did return.

A half century late, but as bright
and magnificent as he had predicted.
