[upbeat music playing]

I tell you, Jonathan, I don't know what's happening to religion in this country.

We've got one guy saying,

"If you don't send me a certain amount of money by a certain time,

"God is going to take me."

And we've got another guy who hired this high-priced attorney

to try to get his ministry back because they caught him fooling around.

Boy, I bet you the boss is fed up with it.

Well, power changes people, Mark.

Religion and politics are great places to gain that power.

Yeah, wouldn't change me.

[chuckles]

I wouldn't be so sure of that.

Come on, Jonathan, you know me better than that.

If I had the power, I'd use it to get people to try to do the right thing.

Do what's right according to whom?

Well, according to what I know to be right.

Yeah, but who are you to tell people what's good or bad, or right or wrong?

I mean, what makes one person so right?

You know what I mean?

[chuckles]

Yeah, I guess I do.

What's wrong?

Boss changing the assignment?

-Hmm? -No.

I though I heard something. Must have been my imagination.

[somber music playing]

[EKG beeping]

Jonathan.

Jonathan.

[woman] Jonathan.

Jonathan.

Mark, turn around.

Jonathan, I know you don't trust my sense of direction,

but our assignment is this way.

This doesn't have anything to do with our assignment.

What's wrong? You all right?

It's my wife, Jane. She's calling me.

What is it? What's wrong?

She's dying.

[EKG beeping]

[somber piano music playing]

Jane.

Jane.

Jonathan.

I...

I can't believe it's you.

[sighs]

How did you know?

I felt you calling.

Oh.

Where's Mandy? The grandchildren?

They're trying to get out of Boston.

There's a snowstorm.

[grunts]

I'm glad you're here.

[coughs]

I, I'm a little afraid.

I know.

But, there's no need.

There's nothing to fear.

You... always seemed so sure of everything.

Are you sure...

there is...

something?

Ah, there's more than something.

There is everything and everyone.

And, Arthur?

[sighs]

Will I see my Arthur again?

Yes.

It's in your eyes.

You are sure.

Remember...

I told you, you reminded me of him?

Oh, yes, I remember.

It's your eyes.

I feel so...

strange.

As if I'm...

drifting...

floating.

It's time.

Isn't it?

Yes.

I'm not afraid... anymore.

[somber music continues]

I love you, Jane Thompson.

[somber music continues]

[door opens]

She's gone.

I'm sorry.

I just wish my daughter and the kids could have gotten here in time.

Yeah.

How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

She's waiting for me now.

He'll be taking me back soon.

What do you... you mean the boss?

Yeah.

He wouldn't keep me down here now, not with Jane up there.

I'm going to be able to hold her again, soon.

Yeah.

Um...

How soon do you think?

I don't know.

Sometime tonight for sure.

Oh, wow.

Hey.

Come on, we both knew it was going to happen someday.

Right.

Just all of a sudden, you know.

Hey, it's our last night together,

let's not stand here sobbing under some streetlight.

You got it. What do you want to do?

I don't know. What do you want to do?

[chuckles]

We're starting to sound like that old Ernest Borgnine movie.

[chuckles] What do you want to do, Marty?

I just want to be with my friend.

All right.

[waves splashing]

We really had some times, didn't we?

Yeah, we sure did.

Uh, what am I going to do now?

I got to tell you, man.

The years I spent with you've been

the greatest years of my life.

You know, being around people, helping them.

What am I going to do now?

What do you want to do?

[sighs] I don't know.

I guess just go on helping people somehow.

Then, do it, Mark.

You don't have to be an angel to help people.

Yeah.

[sighs]

It's a lot more fun when you got the stuff.

[chuckles]

Is it time?

I don't know.

I need to be alone.

[somber music playing]

[waves splashing]

[Jonathan] No!

I won't! Damn it, I won't!

[thunderclap]

Jonathan, what is it? What's wrong?

He said I can't go.

That I'm needed here. I have an assignment.

Well, I won't.

You hear me? I won't!

[thunderclap]

Damn it, I won't!

[thunderclap]

Forty years!

I did my best for 40 years, waiting for the day that Jane...

And now he says I...

I can't go.

[somber music continues]

Well, no more.

No more!

Damn it, I'm through!

Jonathan! Jonathan! Where are you going?

Wherever the hell I want, and I'm going to do what I want.

Now, come on don't talk like this, will you, Jonathan?

No!

Stay away from me, Mark.

You don't want to be with me, anymore.

[indistinct radio chatter]

[keys rattling]

Okay, on your feet.

You're out of here

How come?

Some friend of yours made bail.

Come on, let's go.

[sighs]

[keys rattling]

[door creaks]

Hey, you have any valuables to pick up?

Not a thing.

How'd you know where to find me?

Well, I followed you downtown.

Then I lost you.

So, I drove around for a while.

Then, I saw that theater marquee.

Manager told me what happened.

Hey, I was a cop, remember?

Yeah, yeah. I remember.

Your face. What happened to you?

Guess I'm just not as tough without the stuff.

Boss took it away from you, huh?

Oh, yeah, sure.

He's mad 'cause I got angry,

'cause I told him he was wrong.

Hey, come on, Jonathan. Don't talk like that.

You're the one who told me:

What makes one person so right?

Don't pay any attention to what I told you.

He's the one who put all those thoughts in my head.

But, no more.

-Jonathan, where are you going? -Who cares?

I care, Jonathan. What's gonna happen to you?

Well, ask him. He makes all the rules.

Jonathan, listen to me.

Just talk to him.

Talk to him.

Tell him you're sorry.

Oh no, Mark, I'm not sorry.

See, I'm just like a lot of mortals now.

I don't have any love inside me, I just have hate.

You can't blame God for this.

Why not? A lot of other people do. Now I'm just like them.

Listen, Jonathan, let me try to help you, all right?

[laughs] You want to help me?

What, are you going to be the angel now, Mark?

No, Jonathan, I'm trying to be your friend.

If you'll remember something, pal,

you're the one who taught me how to do that.

Yeah, I...

Yeah, well you want to be my friend, you got any money on you?

Without the stuff, I'm broke.

Yeah, I've got some money on me. What do you need it for?

You got to be kidding. I'm a human, remember?

I'm full of pity and I'm full of anger.

And, I'm going to get drunk.

[footsteps disappearing]

[sighs]

[jazz music playing]

[indistinct chatter and laughing]

Hey, innkeeper!

Another double shot.

Hey, you sure you don't' want one?

Well, have one of these.

Don't you think you've had enough?

No.

No, no no no no.

You know, it's been 40 years since I had a drink?

Well, that means it's been 40 years since you've had a hangover.

[sighs]

You're just like us now, you are going to have a doozie.

Yeah, well I can live with it.

Huh?

Whatever.

[laughing]

That's, that's a pretty good one from a dead guy.

I can live with it, huh?

[chuckles]

There you go. $3.80.

Keep the change.

[sighs]

I told her she'd see her Arthur again.

You understand?

I promised her she'd be with me.

And, we'd be...

together.

[chuckles]

Thanks for a swell evening.

-Jonathan-- -No, no more talk.

-Will you listen to me? -No more talk, Mark.

I don't want any more talk.

This is where we say goodbye.

Like many, many great... partnerships,

this one is over.

And, you go on, and you live your life,

and you be good,

and you be kind.

And, be caring and loving.

And you see where the hell it gets you.

[somber music playing]

[waves splashing]

If you're waiting for me to say I'm sorry,

you can forget it.

I won't until you let me see my Jane.

Okay.

You want to be stubborn? I'll be stubborn.

[waves splashing]

[slow music playing]

Jane.

Jane!

Jane!

Jane.

I'm sorry. I...

I thought you were someone else.

[somber music playing]

[somber music continues]

[somber music continues]

[operatic music playing]

[operatic music continues]

[door opens]

Who are you?

My name's Jonathan.

What are you doing here?

I brought you here from the beach.

The beach?

The ocean.

Get out of here.

Now, come on I made you some hot tea.

Get out of here, or I'll call the police.

All right, fine. Call the police.

I'll tell them you tried to kill yourself,

show them what's left of your pills,

they'll give you a blood test and you'll end up in a county facility.

Or would you rather sleep in your own bed tonight?

Hmm?

Okay, now sit up and drink some of this hot tea.

You picked a lousy night for a dip.

Come on.

Come on, that not a sip. Drink some of the tea.

Come on.

I'm all right, now.

Please go.

No.

Now, people who are all right don't walk into the ocean at 3 o'clock in the morning

and stand on the bottom.

-Come on, take another sip. -[sighs]

Okay.

Just lie down and get some sleep.

I'm not sleepy.

You bet. Come on, lie down.

I don't know you.

You shouldn't be here.

That's right. You don't know me, and I shouldn't be here.

But I am here.

So, go on, go to sleep.

I shouldn't...

I shouldn't be...

[operatic music playing]

[sighs wearily]

[upbeat music playing] [birds chirruping]

[sighs] Whoa.

[sizzling]

Oh, great.

Pot?

[pans clanging]

Oh...

Okay. Here.

[sighs]

That's really bright.

Oh, nice!

[grunts]

[coughs]

It was a lot easier when I had the stuff.

[dog barking]

[door opening]

Come on, breakfast is ready.

I'm not hungry.

Look, saving your life was easy.

Making breakfast this morning was a killer.

Come on.

Put that robe on and get your buns out here.

Hey, come on, eat some of your eggs. They're good for you.

You don't have to tell me to eat. I'm not a child.

There. Are you happy now?

Delirious.

Look, It's getting late.

Don't you have a job to get to?

No.

No, I just got fired.

With the same firm for 40 years.

40 years?

You don't look old enough to be with a company that long.

That's 'cause I ate all my breakfast.

[chuckles]

Look, you want to talk about last night?

No.

Okay.

I have been in love with a man for a very long time, and...

And?

And we planned to move out here,

spend the rest of our lives together.

I came out ahead because he had business to take care of.

And, that was the last time I ever saw him.

No call. No letter.

Just gone.

Now, did you call him?

[sighs]

I tried.

His phone was disconnected.

Even our old friends don't know where he is.

Six months.

I figure, after six months, I can take a hint.

And, that was was the reason for last night?

Well, I don't get it. What were you trying to accomplish?

What were you going to do, kill yourself and then make him feel guilty?

Don't flatter yourself. I don't think it would bother him.

How do you know?

Did he ever tell you he loved you?

[sighs]

Of course he told me he loved me.

Well then, he's an insensitive jerk.

I mean, come, on some guy tells you he loves you,

and then he pulls something like this?

And, you think he's going to feel guilty?

Forget it, he's going to brag about it.

He's going to go to his buddies, and say, "Hey,

"this poor dame. She was so much in love with me she killed herself."

He would not say that.

I'll bet you dollars to donuts he would.

[sighs]

You know, you're probably right.

Yeah.

Not exactly the kind of guy you'd want to spend the rest your life with.

Oh, I'm so angry!

Great! Nothing wrong with being angry,

as long as you've got it headed in the right direction.

Oh, I do.

I do now.

Oh, I wish you were here for just one minute.

And, what would you do? Tell him off?

Oh, would I ever.

Well, who cares if he's here. Come on, get it off your chest.

[sighs]

Go on!

Allen, you are a louse!

Do you hear me?

You are a louse!

[sighs]

Feel better?

A hundred percent.

No more silly midnight swims?

[sighs]

Not on your life.

Well, then that's it. I'll get out of your hair.

Where are you going?

You just said you're okay.

Yeah, but I, um...

I haven't even thanked you.

Yes, you have.

When you said you're okay.

Take care of yourself.

[saxophone music playing]

[door closes]

[upbeat music playing]

Jonathan.

Hey, how are you doing?

I'll be done in a minute.

[door opening]

[man] Mark!

Mark Gordon, you...

Hey, Hank Kaz. How you doing?

I'm doing fine.

Did you just get in town?

No, actually I've been here for a few days.

And you didn't come by the camp to see us?

Well I just didn't have a chance, you know.

-[horn toots] -Where's, uh, where's your partner?

We split up.

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about that, Mark.

Yeah, me too.

You still with the same firm?

No, actually, that was Jonathan's job.

I was just, sort of, his assistant, you know.

And when he quit...

Mark, if you're looking for work, I've got a great spot for you.

The blind school.

[sighs] Thanks, Kaz.

That's, that's really nice of you, but--

It has nothing to do with being nice, Mark.

You were great with those kids. Great!

-[sighs] -Come on, what do you say?

I just don't think I'd be good around them right now, you know?

[sighs] You're feeling real down, aren't you?

Yeah, I am.

Well, Mark, if you need someone to talk to, you know where to find me.

Thanks, Kaz.

I'll be all right.

I'll be all right. I just need some time, that's all.

Just remember what I said, if you need someone to talk to, okay?

Thanks a lot.

I'll see you.

[engine spluttering]

[sighs]

[horn honks]

Where are you going?

Just walking.

You need a lift somewhere?

No, I'm... I'm not going any place special.

Me neither. I'm just taking a ride.

Well, nice day for it.

Yeah.

If you're not going anywhere special,

why don't you join me?

You don't want me tagging along.

You know, I felt bad after you left.

I... I mean, I'm okay.

But I feel kind of lonely.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

[scoffs] Okay, what the heck. I'll ride around for a while.

So, what did you do before you got fired?

I didn't exactly get fired.

I had an argument with the boss.

Can't win those.

Yeah.

What did you do?

I was called human resource development.

Fancy name for working with people, trying to help them.

You miss it?

No.

What about you?

[sighs] I worked for a law firm, back East.

That's where I met the rat.

I haven't really looked for anything out here.

I was planning on settling down and raising children.

What do you do for money?

I have a trust fund. I really don't have to work.

You probably should.

It's healthier for people when they're accomplishing something.

God, no!

[dramatic music playing] [tires screeches]

Jennifer!

[tires screeching]

[horns blowing]

[tires screeching]

Jennifer!

Here listen.

Now look, no matter how you feel, this isn't the way.

-Let go of me! -No!

I'm not going to let you kill yourself.

Oh, God! I'm not!

The dog!

-What dog? -There!

[horn tooting]

Hey! Move it, will you?

Yeah, I'm, I'm sorry.

[dog whimpering]

That's why I yelled.

I saw her get hit. The car didn't even stop.

Looks like it's either a leg or a hip, I'm not sure.

She doesn't have any tag on her.

We've got to get her to a vet.

There you go.

[dog whimpering]

I feel wonderful. [laughing]

Yeah, well you are wonderful.

I mean, come on, how many people in this world would have just driven right on by?

Well, just think. If you hadn't been there last night,

I might not be here today.

And if I wasn't that little puppy might be not be here.

So, that makes you twice as wonderful as me.

[both chuckle]

Yeah, well I...

I guess is both us wonderful people better be going our separate ways.

Well, where do you live?

I mean, at least let me drop you off.

Oh, no. I'm...

I'm kind of in between places right now.

Well, good luck.

Oh, good luck to you.

And, good luck with the pup.

Hm.

So long.

Jonathan?

Yeah?

Look, um...

[chuckles] I can't believe I'm being this, uh...

[clearing throat] I live alone,

and you don't seem to have a place, right now.

And, I have a perfectly good restroom.

-[both laugh] -Guest room.

I like being with you.

Well, I like being with you.

Then, what do you say?

Are you sure?

Very sure.

Okay.

Okay.

[operatic music playing]

Okay.

[engine spluttering]

[Jonathan] You know, I was thinking.

What, what if I made a little card for the pup's hindquarters?

I've seen it on TV.

[Jeniffer] That sounds great.

[Jonathan] And, you've got to watch him all the time,

in case the cart falls over.

But, at least you can get around.

[Jeniffer] Oh, let's try it.

[Jonathan] Okay.

[Jeniffer] I really do feel wonderful.

[Jonathan] So do I.
