Scene 13

CHRIS AND IAN ARE IN THE FOREST. IT’S RAINING. THERE IS A RAINBOW. THEY FIND SHELTER NEAR A BIG TREE.

Ian:Oh, my leg! Thanks for not listening to Mom.

Chris:About what?

Ian:I don’t know. Just coming out here. This whole day. You know, she didn’t want us doing this because of… I don’t know… grades and stuff.

Chris:Your mother and I did a talk. You know we always listen to each other.

Ian:So I mean what’d you talk about?

Chris:About taking you out of Head-Royce. The school is wrong for you.

Scene 14

A CHURCH.

Priest: While this is a time…

Chris:Where are we now?

Albert Lewis:Where we all want to stay, Chris. This is your funeral.

Chris:What am I on? You’re real fuzzy.

Albert Lewis:At least you’re willing to see yourself. You’re losing your fear?

Chris:Fear?

Albert Lewis:Thought you disappeared? You didn’t. You only died.

Priest: A woman who lost her children just four short years ago. Every day in the Lord’s Prayer…

CHRIS WALKS ALONG THE ROWS OF BENCHES LOOKING INTO THE FACES OF PEOPLE. HE SEES ANNIE.

Scene 15

THE NIELSENS’ HOUSE. ANNIE IS STANDING IN FRONT OF A BIG WONDERFUL PICTURE.

Chris:This one is a present for me. It’s our Double D anniversary. Kind of our special day. It’s her vision of our place.

Albert Lewis:Your place?

Chris:Where we first met. Where we were going to retire, I guess. Live out our lives. Be old farts together. Right there. That’s our dream house. That one’s me, I guess. The blurry one is Annie. Looks a little familiar, Doc. The funeral is over. Why is this going on past the funeral?

Annie(writing):“Dear Diary, I’m writing in your bullshit pages because my shrink is crazier than I am. He thinks you’re therapy. He figures, if two babies can hammer me into a psycho ward, what’ll I do with this? He’s so stupid. He’s so stupid, he thinks he pulled me through the breakdown when it was only Christy. Always. Only Chris.”

Chris:Jesus…

Annie(writing):“I was looking through his postcards. Paintings were his obsession. He used art as another way to love me, to help me. To keep us always together.

Chris:Annie…

ANNIE STOPS WRITING.

Chris:I’m here, babe. I still exist. You’re thinking of me. Keep thinking of me. Come on with me. You were always with me. The people who finished each other’s sentences. Remember us? I still exist. I still exist! I still exist. Just write it down. Write it down – “This is Chris.” This is Chris. “I… still… exist…”.

ANNIE STARTS WRITING. LETTERS ARE NOT ACCURATE BUT IT SEEMS TO BE “THIS CRS ISTIL EXST”.

Chris:Read it. Read it.

ANNIE CRUMPLES THE PAPER.
