Scene 27

CHRIS IS WATCHING THE PEOPLE AROUND.

Chris:Where are they going?

Leona: To help others to reborn on Earth.

Chris:Really? Reincarnation?

Leona: Albert says to cheer you up. You have difficulty…

Chris:Losing my wife, yeah.

Leona: And your children?

Chris:They died years ago. That’s why I’m worried about my wife. They died in a terrible collision. The nanny was driving. It wasn’t her fault.

Leona: And your wife?

Chris:My daughter had asked her to drive. It was a trucker’s fault. But my wife believed that if she’d been driving the kids, her protective instincts would have…

Leona: Are you okay?

THEY ARE IN THE BOAT NOW.

Leona: Come on, Katie! Where were you just now? Your mind’s been wandering all afternoon.

Chris:Thinking of someone.

Leona: Your wife must have loved her children very much.

Chris:Very much. But you don’t have to break in half to love somebody.

Leona: Tell me a memory of your own. Say, with your daughter.

Scene 28

THE TIME BEFORE THE KIDS’ DEATH. MARIE IS ILL. SHE DRAWS MOUSTACH ON THE FACE OF A WOMAN IN THE PICTURE. THEY’RE PLAYING CHESS.

Chris:Hey, that’s somebody else’s art.

Marie:What’s the difference? You weren’t looking anyway.

Chris:Your move.

MARIE LOOKS AT A BEAUTIFUL CITY IN THE PICTURE.

Marie:Is this where we go when we die?

Chris:It’s a dream, baby. It’s a beautiful one. But, you know, dreams…

Marie:I know, aren’t real. I know.

Chris:It’s after midnight.

Marie:I haven’t won yet.

Chris:It’s your first time.

Marie:No, I like that I haven’t won yet. Means you’re not cheating. And when I win, I really win. I wanna play till I do. Unless you wanna stop.

Chris:No. Let’s play till you win.

Scene 29

CHRIS AND LEONA ARE RIDING IN THE BOAT.

Chris:She died three months later. We played every night. It meant the world to me. She never won.

Leona: I didn’t look like this in the body, you know. We flew to Singapore once. And my daddy smiled at the flight attendant who looked like this and wore this name tag “Leona”. He said Asian women are so lovely, graceful, intelligent.

Chris:He didn’t mean only…

Leona: I know. It was just something he said. And what I thought was: when I grow up, I wanna be that.

Chris:You still play chess?

Leona: I think I waited for my partner.
