I HAVE A DEADLINE FOR SOME WORK I'M DOING.

THAT'S TOO BAD. I'M HERE FOR ONE DAY ONLY.

UH-HUH. THANK YOU. THERE YOU GO.

SO I MOVED BACK HERE. UH-HUH.

I CAME HERE TO LIVE, PAINT.

- I SEE. - I KNOW WHAT I WANTED TO ASK YOU.

I READ IN THE L.A. PAPER THAT DAVY MILLER IS APPEARING IN CARNEGIE HALL.

HE IS. DO YOU STILL SEE HIM ?

I SEE HIM ALL THE TIME. WILL YOU CONGRATULATE HIM FOR ME ?

I THINK THAT'S JUST GREAT. I WILL.

REALLY WONDERFUL. I WILL.

YOU, UH, USED TO BE KINDA INTERESTED IN MUSIC, WEREN'T YA ?

A LITTLE.

YEAH. YOU EVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT THAT ?

UM, I PLAY ONCE IN A WHILE.

HMM. KIND OF A HOBBY.

- YEAH, IT'S LIKE A HOBBY. - NICE TO HAVE SOMETHING TO FALL BACK ON.

I READ A VERY NICE ARTICLE ABOUT YOU IN THE TV GUIDE LAST WEEK.

YOU READ THAT ARTICLE ? SURE. WASN'T I SUPPOSED TO ?

I LOVE IT. WHAT ?

YOU WOULDN'T UNDER-- YOU READ THAT TV GUIDE ARTICLE ?

SURE. I LIKE THAT.

HAVE YOU REALLY WRITTEN ALL THOSE COMMERCIALS ?

THAT IS AMAZING. I'M AFRAID SO.

- YOU MUST BE RICH. - IT'S NOT FOR MY SOUL.

WELL, I GUESS THAT'S WHERE WE'RE DIFFERENT, THEN.

THIS IS DO FOR MY SOUL.

YOU REMEMBER THAT ?

OF COURSE. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERED THAT.

OF COURSE I REMEMBER. THAT'S ONE OF THE NICEST PRESENTS I EVER GOT.

BUT IT WASN'T QUITE GOOD ENOUGH.

WELL-- COULDN'T GET YOU.

TRIED HARD ENOUGH; I COULDN'T DO IT.

I PROBABLY HAD A BOYFRIEND OR SOMETHING. I--

PROBABLY ? DON'T YOU REMEMBER ?

NOPE. I DON'T.

THAT'S WEIRD. WHAT ?

HIS NAME WAS KENNY WEISS.

KENNY WEISS.

GOD. WHAT MADE YOU THINK OF--

I HAD SUCH A CRUSH ON KENNY WEISS.

HE WAS A MORON. I USED TO SEE THAT GUY IN HIS CAR WITH YOU.

I USED TO SEE YOU TWO OUTSIDE ALL THE TIME...

IN HIS LITTLE CAR, LITTLE BLUE CAR.

I USED TO WONDER, "WHAT THE HELL DOES SHE TALK TO HIM ABOUT ? HE'S SO DUMB."

NOTHIN'.

YOU COULD'VE DONE BETTER. YOU COULD'VE HAD ME.

YOU SHOULD'VE TOLD ME. WELL, I GUESS IF I'D ASKED YOU, I WOULDN'T HAVE LISTENED.

- WHATEVER HAPPENED TO KENNY WEISS ? - KENNY WEISS...

MARRIED SOME GIRL FROM THE SOUTH RIGHT AFTER SCHOOL...

AND WENT INTO HIS FATHER'S DRESSMAKING BUSINESS.

OH, I LOVE IT. [ Jennifer Chuckles ]

I SAW HIM AT THE TENTH REUNION.

HE WAS RATHER PAUNCHY, VERY SEVENTH AVENUE.

LIKE IT A LOT.

THAT WAS ALWAYS YOUR KINDA LOOK, HUH ? PAUNCHY ?

KENNY WEISS GOT FAT. GOOD.

YOU SEEM QUITE DIFFERENT THAN I REMEMBERED YOU, YOU KNOW THAT ?

IT'S BEEN QUITE A FEW YEARS.

NOT EXACTLY TWO WEEKS AGO SINCE WE SAW EACH OTHER.

THAT'S NOT REALLY WHAT I MEANT.

WHY COULDN'T I HAVE HAD YOU WHEN WE WERE IN SCHOOL ?

YOU WOULD HAVE MADE MY LIFE SO MUCH EASIER.

I GUESS YOU WEREN'T CHARMING THEN. MUST BE THAT.

I WONDER WHAT WOULD'VE HAPPENED IF WE HAD BEEN TOGETHER.

HOW DO YOU MEAN ? WE'VE JUST BEEN TOGETHER FOR ALL THOSE YEARS.

HMM. I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ? I DON'T KNOW. I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT--

JUST TRY TO PRETEND. IT'S HARD TO PRETEND STUFF LIKE THAT.

WE WOULD HAVE HAD THIS HOUSE. I WOULD'VE DONE MY MUSIC. YOU'D HAVE DONE YOUR ART.

SOUNDS GOOD. WE WOULD'VE BEEN VERY HUNGRY.

I DON'T KNOW.

SO YOU WOULD'VE HAD TO GO OUT AND WRITE YOUR JINGLES.

THAT'S ABOUT HOW IT HAPPENED. SO WE COULD EAT DINNER.

YEAH. THAT'S JUST ABOUT THE WAY IT HAPPENED.

IS IT ? YEAH.

LISTEN, I HATE TO GET OUTTA HERE, BUT I GOTTA GO.

I GOTTA CATCH AN AIRPLANE.

TELL YOU WHAT. WHY DON'T I RIDE WITH YOU TO THE AIRPORT ?

WOULD YOU LIKE THAT ? THAT'D BE GREAT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO TAKE YOU FROM YOUR WORK.

NO, NO, IT'D BE FUN. WE COULD TALK IN THE CAR AND--

I NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE. I BEEN SITTIN' HERE ALL DAY.

BEFORE WE START ANYTHING.

I'M NOT A FOREVER PERSON.

I NEVER HAVE BEEN.

YOU ASKED ME WHY I NEVER GOT MARRIED.

MAYBE THAT'S WHY.

THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS THAT HAVE NO FUTURE.

[ Bob's Voice ] THAT'S KID STUFF.

THIS IS THE REAL WORLD. PEOPLE STAY TOGETHER IN THE REAL WORLD.

I KNOW, BUT YOU'RE ASKING FOR MORE THAN THAT.

YOU'RE ASKING FOR A COMMITMENT FROM ME.

I'M JUST ASKING TO GIVE THIS THING A CHANCE.

I CAN'T DO IT, BOB.

I'VE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DO IT.

I THINK IT'S ABOUT TIME YOU TRIED.

I HAVE TRIED.

MAYBE TOO MUCH TIME HAS PASSED.

MAYBE I'M TOO OLD TO CHANGE.

I CAN'T DO IT.

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE, YOU CHANGE.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO, THEN YOU DON'T. IT'S AS SIMPLE AS THAT.
