meIodramatic, but no nuns.
Listen, anything Iike that
occurs to you, we'II taIk.
Give me a jingIe and we'II go to Le Cirque.
OK. AII right. WeII, thank you.
- (Doug) Is something burning in there?
- No.
No, it's OK.
- Come to sIeep!
- Yeah. Soon.
(* "l Remember You" by Jackie Gleason)
- (ghostly whisper) Alice.
- Who's that?
Who's there? Who is it?
Don't you remember?
Oh!
That voice...
Alice.
Alice Jansen.
Eddie? Is it Eddie?
Hi, sweetheart.
Is it you?
God, you're even more beautiful now.
lt's been almost 20 years.
Tell me l don't look so bad,
considering l'm dead.
No. Considering you're dead,
you Iook great.
See? Even if you had married me,
you'd have still been a widow.
Eddie, I feIt terribIe
when I heard about the crash.
But I wasn't surprised.
I aIways said you drove reckIessIy.
Ah!
You thought l did everything recklessly,
including making love.
Eddie... there were times
when I had reaI guiIt feeIings.
Oh, hey. l'm a big boy.
l'd been turned down before.
Not that l wasn't saddened.
But, l'll tell you,
that car crash was a total accident.
Boom! Not for a second
did l see that moving van.
I thought of you the other day.
I met an interesting man
who kind of reminded me of you.
Oh, no. Do l sense trouble in paradise?
No, no, no. Everything's fine here.
I'm very happy.
So tell me all about this guy
who reminds you of me.
WeII, he's Iike you.
He's... irresponsibIe and temperamentaI.
- Yeah.
- But he...
He's cute, you know?
"Thou shalt not commit adultery. "
That's not my line. l read it.
I'm not. I just met him.
A Steuben glass hippo.
l always wondered
who bought those things.
God, it's so good to see you, Alice.
- Whatever happened to your career?
- Oh, I don't know.
Now I was thinking I'd Iike to write.
You think I have that in me?
- Who are you taIking to?
- Oh, I was...
I just saw you there
having a conversation.
- I was probabIy just thinking out Ioud.
- At this hour?
- Bottoms and no top. l could've called it.
- Quiet!
- Are you OK?
- I'm fine. I just had this idea for a story.
So I guess I was acting out aII the parts.
- AIice, that's crazy.
- It's crazy.
I'm gonna get some sIeep.
I'm gonna go to bed.
Me too. I got a Iong day. I'm gonna be
home Iate. It's my backgammon night.
- Is tonight backgammon?
- Sweetheart?
- WiII you try to reIax?
- I wiII. I'II try.
- You've been awfuI tense IateIy.
- Have I?
l know how to relax you, Alice.
l know all the good spots
and there are plenty of 'em.
(Eddie laughs)
(* "l Remember You" by Jackie Gleason)
(Alice) See, there he is, right there.
I'd Iove to know what you think of him.
(Eddie) After all these years,
now she wants my opinion?
- Hi.
- Hi.
I... I'm sorry if I bothered you
by caIIing you at home.
- I was concerned.
- No, I'm... It's fine.
I must've seemed a IittIe abrupt. I was
having a conversation with my husband.
It's OK. I understand.
I was disappointed when
you didn't show up at the zoo.
They have this very beautifuI white bear
I wanted to show you.
With these great ice-bIue eyes
the exact coIour of yours.
That is a good line. When was the last
time your husband used a line like that?
- WeII, I...
- Give him some encouragement.
I... I'm... I'm sorry I didn't make it.
I wouId Iike a rain check.
WeII, the Big AppIe Circus is in town.
I'm gonna take my daughter tomorrow.
Come and bring your kids.
- I'm sure they'II Iove it.
- Oh, I think I...
You can't go to hell
for taking your kids to the circus.
But I guess I couId shift things around.
Great. I'II Iook forward to it.
(Alice) Come on, you guys, go to sIeep.
I read you three stories aIready.
Katie, you stay in bed now. Good night.
See you in the morning. Good night.
Good night, now.
Stay in bed.
Sweet dreams.
What am I doing?
You gotta see this thing through to find
out who he is, to find out who you are.
What am I getting myseIf into?
Alice, cheer up.
You know, l'm not gonna be
around
