Scene 22

ALBERT POINTS CHRIS TO A NEW TREE WHICH HAS JUST APPEARED.

Chris:What’s that purple tree? I never saw that.

Albert Lewis:Well, let’s take a look. Think you can get there in eight seconds?

Chris:Eight seconds? Over there? Yeah, I just need a little incentive.

A WOMAN APPERS NOT FAR FROM THE TREE. IT’S ANNIE.

Chris:Yeah, I can fly.

Albert Lewis:Oh, no, no!

Chris:Why not? Can’t I do what I want, right?

Albert Lewis:Well… I think you’d be more comfortable keeping it real. Think of running fast like the Road Runner, okay?

Chris:Yeah. I can handle this. Adios, muchacho.

Albert Lewis:Oh, wait, Chris!

Chris:Annie-e-e!

CHRIS JUMPS INTO THE GULF.

Albert Lewis:I bet you’re thinking “Oh, shit!” now!

Chris:Yeah!

Albert Lewis:Go, boy! Go, Chris, go!

Chris:Albert! Albert!

THEY’RE NEAR THE TREE.

Chris:It’s completely new. The canvas was blank when I was alive. How can I see this drawing after I’m dead? For an expert you look pretty surprised.

Albert Lewis:You and Annie – a long courtship?

Chris:No, actually. From the very first moment it was like…

Albert Lewis:Soul mates. It’s extremely rare but it exists. You’re like twin souls. Turned in to each other. Apparently, even in death. You’re reaching each other through her painting. It’s nothing I’ve ever seen, Chris.

(Annie’s inner voice:You can’t see, can you? And you never will.)

ANNIES TAKES A VEHICLE AND POURS IT OUT ONTO HER PICTURE. AT THE SAME MOMENT CHRIS AND ALBERT SEE THE TREE LOSING ITS LEAVES.

Chris:I love you!!!

Scene 23

CHRIS AND ALBERT ARE WALKING ALONG THE RIVER.

Chris:Whose footprints are these?

Albert Lewis:Don’t ask me, you put’em here.

Chris:Annie… Annie!

Albert Lewis:Chris!

Chris:Annie!

Albert Lewis:Fantasy is not what you need right now, Chris.

Chris:No, you’re right. I need Annie.

Albert Lewis:That’ll change in time, Chris.

Chris:Oh, come on, Einstein! Time’s not on my watch anymore! Time doesn’t exist here! And wherever it went, it won’t make me need Annie any less.

Albert Lewis:You’ll feel differently, Chris, and so will she.

Chris:Man. You don’t know us.

Albert Lewis:Wish I did.

CHRIS SEES A TIGER-TOY NEAR THE WATER.

Chris:Marie… Marie! Look, it’s Tigger! It’s my daughter’s. Katie tore it up once, and… She’s here, right? Where is she?

Albert Lewis:Chris, here is big enough for all to have their own private universe. That’s not why you haven’t seen your kids yet, is it?

Chris:What does that mean, Buddha? I wanna see my children, Albert!

Albert Lewis:When you do, you will.
