- There are reasons
far beyond, all in life that one can know.
Reasons which won't be explained, just because we want it so.
But within them, goodness lies,
despite the tears a lifetime cries.
Beyond the hurt,
beyond the pain,
eternal bliss is ours to gain.
There's a battle to be fought,
with the demons in our heart,
for the kingdom in our soul,
to which love unlocks the door.
And say goodbye,
to all your tragic dreams
and soon forgotten sorrows.
- Michael, come on.
Come on, get up.
Get up, lad, let's get you home.
Leave me alone.
- Come on, Michael, you're gonna get arrested.
Up we go.
- No.
No!
He arrives from Paris tonight.
- Away? - Three months,
hired to write. Ah, but here he comes.
Welcome back, young Michael Fiorelli.
Why good sir, what could possibly bring
such a prestigious writer as yourself to such a shabby site?
- Surely not you, oh sexy John,
but perhaps this full moon, seducingly strange night.
Nonetheless, I'm here.
- That you are, that you are.
All's well, I see?
- As well as well can be.
And you, what tales have you to tell?
- Of life, of love, false or true?
What can I say?
Not much is new, but come, it's you who's just returned,
so please tell of all the midnight oils burned.
- If only it were so, though sadly, no.
I was locked in a cell.
Okay, a Parisian shack, writing and writing,
couldn't wait to get back.
- Really?
But enfante, Paris, I thought
it was the city of love and glee.
- Paris is lovely, yes indeed.
I just wish I'd had more time--
Dear John,
what ardent, passionate light I see.
Through my skin and to my heart, ablaze her glare sets me.
Glimmering, radiant beauty.
- Oh, Michael, awaken, for fair as this young maiden be,
fool yourself only you shall, with such intensity.
- Too late now for looks at least,
proof of goodness yet to see, wish me luck.
What grace does shine through soft, fair skin
and wakens every sense, but what's it's done
to this here heart, only your love can make amends.
- Sweet young boy,
whose eyes all too anxiously devour what they see,
and those words, to which silk must have
but lost a million battles,
what do you want with me?
- Only to avow that which my heart believes,
by seeing your soul, so radiant and pure,
it must but be the inner spark
that blares aloud through gorgeous eyes
and angel's soft, fair skin.
- Speak no more, at least not now.
It is soft silk those words, they imitate,
weaving loving thoughts, my heart they penetrate.
Obscure thoughts in my mind accelerate
the beating of my heart and oddly,
though, please speak again.
Gentle, cradle, my heart mend.
- My lips, my heart does guide,
and speak to you, fair angel of light, I shall,
but come; let us leave now,
somewhere beneath the sweet moonlight.
- Common male! That you are to drag me from my friend,
into a dark, oh night so cold,
what is it you pretend?
- To know your heart and search
your soul for all that which is true,
and it be a pureness that I find,
In love I'll fall with you.
- To these words and in these arms
too quickly I could fall...
yet life's misery, more so quickly I recall.
- So black-hearted human ways,
have pierced and harmed your heart,
I do so sense their base, impure, oh pain-inflicting art.
- So shall we chat?
Come, sit and hear more than you'd wish to know,
though I'm certain after this,
no more sweet words, you'll only go.
- Speak and say that which you shall,
fair warning though I give you now,
no matter what your words may be;
shock I've heard, all thunder and emotion,
nonetheless, my love prevails,
pure and true with all devotion.
- Assure me not, for we shall see,
if loving words prove true to be.
So much to say but where to start?
- It matters not, just speak your heart.
- An introduction, that sounds nice,
and for a start, it shall suffice.
Sarah Andrews.
- Sarah Andrews.
- Why what a lovely name, who would've thought it'd be the same.
Lovely name for lovely dame,
and Michael Fiorelli,
that's my name.
Now, what more have you to say?
- You wish to know, so ask away.
- Fair enough, if it's this game that we shall play,
what's your favorite color, favorite song, and favorite day,
Favorite hour, favorite pet, favorite genius intellect,
Favorite movie, favorite scene,
favorite sport, and favorite team?
- Okay, all right, I'll let you breathe.
Silver, majestic, striking is it's shine,
Favorite song escapes my mind.
Sunday's calm, I guess, all right,
but I love wild Friday night.
12:00 a.m., not night nor day,
cats are best in every way.
Da Vinci, shockingly ahead of his time,
"Pretty Woman," I forget the line.
Rough and tough football I choose, 49ers, win or lose.
I think that's all, if I recall.
- Now catch your breath before you fall.
- Intense and wistful, all you say,
have you always been this way?
Don't get me wrong, I judge you not,
I do so love your every thought,
but how indeed you do convert, to burning passion every word?
- The answer is you...
You need not ask, for words become a simple task;
with beauty such before my eyes,
my breath but mumbles that which my heart sighs.
Now, words, more sounds from you again,
and into bliss my heart you'll send.
- Well and fair, to these words I can't refuse,
but to listen, you did choose.
Though I forewarned, not all is bright,
Dark, perhaps,
darker than night.
My childhood was fun,
my mom, my dad, my brother and I,
but then my brother had to die.
His death is not where I should start,
at 17, she broke his heart.
I do say she, for I hate her name.
My brother's death on her I blame.
To kill his pain, the one within,
his choice of drug, heroin.
Of all the drugs, the one he chose
quickly killed him, overdose.
Mom and Dad didn't last long,
Dad claimed everything was wrong,
so he packed up and went his way,
and with my mother I did stay.
- I'm sorry, but I'm also most impressed,
at the ease with which your sorrows are confessed.
- I've had much practice, you could say,
two years of counseling every other day.
High school years were shot to hell,
of pleasant times, there's none to tell.
Too soon, too quick did things go bad,
for young, naive met senior Brad.
At 15, my love I'd met, a love forever I'd regret.
Brad brought sex and drugs along,
and you don't refuse when your love's so strong.
Either way, we didn't last,
and there's no way to change your past.
So bad habits soon become addictions,
and when broken-hearted, to hell with all convictions.
Nothing ever lasts.
God, I hate to feel this way,
please don't say that you won't stay.
- How could I dare to leave,
one minute apart would break my heart.
You offer more than I could ask,
too simple, pleasurable a task.
Now, to make some sort of vow.
- That you'll hold me forever and always, just as you do now?
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
A thousand times, yes.
Bless this night and praise these stars.
Ungrateful, we shan't be, for this night of love
unveiled bliss and placed you next to me.
- Dawn?
Too soon our night is gone.
Oh God, look at the time,
Alexa will think I was out of my mind.
- Out of your mind but not your heart and soul,
love is something you can't control.
Don't explain, just let things be,
I know John too will question me.
- You're right, but I must go.
- Wait, when will I see you again?
This I must know.
- Tonight, and not a second later.
When the sun falls and shadows rise,
my soul will accelerate the beating of my heart
until it looks into your eyes.
- Then grant me but one last request.
- To comply, I'll do my best.
- One last embrace before we part,
this indeed will ease my heart.
- How could I but dare say no,
when I too wish this wish before I go.
Goodnight,
and swift, my return,
only with passion, shall your heart burn.
Oh, and this to ease your wait.
- Morning slowly bleeds its way through a dark night's flesh,
so as to lay the moon down for its rest.
For all that rise, must surely fall,
as did my sad heart, after all.
Goodnight, sweet moon,
goodnight.
âª I met a girl âª
âª Could you imagine, I met a guy âª
âª Well, what do you know âª
âª You met a guy âª
âª The guy from last night âª - âª The girl from last night âª
âª You got that right âª
âª So what's he like âª
âª Is she what you expected âª
âª You know, your angel of light âª
âª Oh, but she's more than just that âª
âª He's a dream and a half âª
âª Honest and pure, you know she didn't hold back âª
âª I tried to resist him âª
âª You usually do âª
âª This time it was different, he's something new âª
âª Deep, dark eyes âª
âª Passionate soul âª
âª Skin so soft âª - âª Arms so soft âª
âª I couldn't let go âª âª I lost all control âª
âª It was love âª
âª Love âª
âª It was love âª
âª Love âª
âª Is what it was âª
âª Love âª
âª So passionate, sweet âª
âª She makes me complete âª
âª It was love âª
âª Love âª
âª Love at first sight âª
âª She will be my wife âª
âª It was love âª
âª Wait, come again, did you say get married âª
âª Well, no, not yet, but I know she's the one âª
âª Sarah in love, who would've thought it âª
âª And more than that, love at first sight âª
âª Come now, stay calm âª
âª You hardly but know her âª - âª You don't really know him âª
âª My god, you're right, that's why I'll see her âª
âª Tonight âª
- Well, what d'ya know,
another one's arrived.
- Great, just when I thought I'd survived.
And your day, how's it been?
- Nothing worthy of a grin,
two fights and then more teenage drama;
"She called me what?
"Uh-uh, I ain't no slut.
"That's your momma." - Ugh
I know...
So?
- For weeks and weeks, I wait and wait,
but how I do now hesitate.
- Come on, come on, it's getting late.
Open it.
Don't sweat it, John, forget it.
They've no clue how good you are.
You're a scholar, a gentleman, and star.
- Don't worry, I'm used to these already,
what's the saying, something, something slow and steady?
- Right. So poker tonight, your place?
- The cards are ready, ace.
Lookin' forward to changing my luck.
Last time, you were down to your last buck.
- Well not tonight,
so you'd best tell the boys to bring their money.
- All right, I'll see ya later, honey.
Come on.
- Michael, what a pleasant surprise.
And you've got my book, isn't that nice?
- Good morning, Father, that and so much more.
- Oh, so it's good news you have in store.
Please, please, do share.
- I feel...
I'm floating in midair.
I can still see her eyes, I can still smell her hair.
What a marvelous night, I'm still under her spell.
- Michael, not again, these things never fare well.
You dive in too soon, too deep, can't you tell?
- Not this time, Father, she's unlike any other.
I'm certain this time, true love
has walked right through my door.
- And what on earth in one night can make you so sure?
And don't say her eyes, her beautiful smile.
- Her beauty is undeniable,
but it's her soul that's aglow and so worth the while.
For despite her past regrets, there's a spark
in her eyes of childlike purity,
still untarnished by life's sorrows and cruelty.
She's aware of her faults,
of the place from which they stem.
- And you aim to polish this rough gem.
Be cautious then.
It's often lovers who are far too blind to see,
that fall in love with each other's faults and not reality.
- I'm not sure I follow.
Are her faults not her own,
do they not represent who she is, how she's grown?
Is it perfection I should seek and if so, where to find?
- Perfection is solely on the cross,
not of this earth nor of this time.
Seek truth, but venture slowly,
keep both feet on the ground.
For foolish hearts hurt even more, when love is carelessly profound.
Take your time,
and be pious,
for piety rewards tenfold, as I'm sure
throughout your years you've constantly been told.
- I have, and thank you, Father,
for your words and your concern.
From words of wisdom, even the wisest still can learn.
What time is it?
- Why, hi John, how are you,
how was your day?
- I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a fray,
can't seem to get her out of my mind all day.
- Oh, that's right, your angel of light.
You're seeing her tomorrow?
- No, tonight.
- Oh, I see, but what about poker?
You'll have to do without me.
- Chickening out already.
- Oh, how you wish.
Don't you worry, I'll take your money soon enough.
Anytime, I'll call your bluff.
- Touche.
So, how was your day?
- Mundane, and then this came.
- You're not smiling.
- It's the same.
If I ever showed promise, where on earth did it go?
Stuck forever in high school was not the plan, you know?
- I know.
Just keep sending 'em your stuff, one is bound to bite.
- They did once before.
Right.
- So, if you're seeing her tonight, why so anxious,
why so agitated?
- I don't know.
I fear that spark, that inexplicable intensity,
may have perhaps already faded.
- Well, worry not, I'm sure it's fine,
perhaps she too's been anxious all this time.
- Don't say that,
I wish upon her no ill thought, no desperation.
- Even if it means your kiss is her salvation?
- Even then, John, even then.
- Here, have some wine to calm you down.
You're acting so weird, as if you hadn't been around.
- Well, that's not nice.
- You know what I mean.
- You don't have to be so mean.
He's different,
I really do think this could be love.
- Ugh
- Ugh, why?
Just because you find love so trite and frivolous,
what gives you the right to curse it for the rest of us?
- Damn.
Well, don't be so profound,
I'm happy for you, for the love that you've found.
Cheers, to Sarah and Mitchell.
Michael.
- Right, Michael.
No thanks, I'm good.
- Well, well, well, how we've changed indeed.
- Yeah, I guess so,
maybe that crap, I no longer need.
See ya.
Hi.
- Hi.
âª So how are you this lovely night âª
âª Well, now with you before my sight âª
âª The night seems oh so much more bright âª
âª Brighter than the day âª
âª Brighter anyway âª
âª Was your day long, are you all right âª
âª God, I couldn't wait 'til night âª
âª Neither could I âª
âª I felt like I would die âª
âª Like I would die âª
âª But now you're here and I've got you to hold me âª
âª With you by my side, it all seems so right âª
âª Forever this way, endless nights âª
âª No more day âª
âª Now hold on a minute, there's something I should say âª
âª Something I must say âª
âª My past relationships have not been all that great âª
âª Forget great, in fact, they've plainly just been hell âª
âª I've had all day to think away âª
âª And wonder if you're right âª
âª Now in which way might I be right âª
âª About your lovely eyes âª
âª About this lovely night âª
âª Sweet words won't talk you out of that which you must hear âª
âª Not right now, not right here âª
âª So I guess I should listen âª
âª Oh, yeah âª
âª I'm scared to fall in love âª
âª And deal with all the pain âª
âª A foolish little girl âª
âª The only thing I've been âª
âª You'd think by now I'd learn âª
âª To simply not give in âª
âª Nothing but sorrow, nothing but pain âª
âª Open your eyes, don't let 'em in âª
âª But my heart keeps breaking each and every time âª
âª My heart keeps longing for someone to be mine âª
âª Yeah, my heart keeps breaking each and every time âª
âª I need you, I need you âª
âª But don't go promising things you can't keep âª
âª Don't go promising things you can't keep âª
âª Don't go saying that you'll always be right there âª
âª Don't go saying that you'll always care âª
âª I can't, dear, deal with the lies âª
âª My trust you'll betray, as my heart dies âª
âª I've never felt this way and I've lived my share of pain âª
âª I've never loved this way and I never will again âª
âª You're mine, you're mine âª
âª This is true love âª
âª It's love âª
- âª So open up your heart âª - âª Don't go promising âª
âª Give it one more chance âª âª Things you can't keep âª
âª Forget your past regrets âª âª Don't go saying âª
âª Baby, make your stance âª âª that you'll never leave âª
âª For love, for love âª âª I need you âª
âª Right now âª
âª It's all that we've got âª âª Don't break my heart âª
âª I won't abandone you âª âª Don't go running awayt âª
âª I won't leave you behind âª âª In the night âª
âª I'll hold you in my arms âª âª Don't go saying âª
âª Forever you'll be mine âª âª It just isn't right âª
âª I'm yours âª âª Anymore âª
âª I'm yours âª âª Breaking my heart âª
âª Sarah âª
âª Trust in me âª âª 'Cause my heart keeps breaking âª
âª I won't leave you behind âª âª Each and every time âª
âª Your heart I'll mend âª âª Yeah, my heart keeps breaking âª
âª Baby now your mine âª âª Each and every time âª
âª I love you âª âª I need you âª
âª This love is real âª
- Well, there it is, plain and simple, clear as day,
royal flush, third today.
- And the Lord will have His day.
- Don't mock the Lord, He's not to blame.
And if that's your excuse, it's rather lame.
Be glad, this here tidy sum goes straight to the poor,
will make 'em less glum.
- Ah, so a Robin Hood of sorts, or better yet a Friar Tuck.
- We've got God, who needs luck?
- So that's that, lads, here we call it.
Next time, I won't go so easy on your wallet.
Right.
- Okay, boys, goodnight.
- Goodnight. - Goodnight.
- About Michael, how's he doing?
- He's in love, his love he's wooing.
- Yes, he stopped by today, dropped off my book.
I could tell right away, he had that strange look.
- You mean the one where he looks right through you,
floating in space in his lovely love bubble?
That's the one.
- I think we're in trouble.
- He'll be fine.
Not this time.
Just have him take it slow,
you're his friends, give him advice, let him know.
He's growing up, he should be okay.
All right, lads, I should be on my way.
Goodnight to you both.
- Goodnight, Father.
- Goodnight, Father, see you soon.
âª So he got himself a girlfriend âª
âª He's been back for one night âª
âª I wouldn't quite just say that âª
âª Though I think you're right âª
âª Got himself a girlfriend, calls her angel of light âª
âª We talkin' 'bout that same girl from the other night âª
âª I seriously doubt she'll marry in white âª
âª The girl gets around, if you get my drift âª
âª You mean that she takes Uber, taxis, and Lyft âª
âª I get it, you're funny, oh honey âª
âª Your boy just better watch out âª
âª That girl is trouble, trouble âª
âª Trouble and a half âª
âª Trouble, triple-double âª
âª John, don't laugh âª
âª She's been around, all over town âª
âª The outs and ins, I won't discuss âª
âª I wouldn't dare cause such a fuss âª
âª But she is trouble, trouble âª
âª Or so you say, now on your way âª
âª John, don't be rude âª
âª It's for his own good âª
âª He should know âª
âª A wild child, likes the snow âª
Blow!
- Oh!
âª That girl is trouble, trouble âª
âª She's not the one for our sweet Mike âª
âª If this is true, you might be right âª
âª I don't want trouble, trouble âª
âª The kid is good and pure at heart âª
âª Well, she ain't sweet, she's rather tart âª
âª You know the biker âª
âª You don't say âª
âª You know the doorman âª
âª Oy vey âª
âª I could go on, the list gets long âª
âª No, that's okay, he'll stay away âª
âª That girl is trouble, trouble âª
âª Trouble âª
âª Triple-double âª
âª So don't delay, it's clear as day âª
âª That girl is trouble âª
- Okay.
- She's a dream, John, she's a dream.
Love like this, this day and age, is rarely ever seen.
If with my owns hands, hers I'd not held,
I'd think I was dreaming, under some spell.
But she's real, John, she's real.
- It's this passion, this fever within you that rages,
ignoring all the wisdom handed down throughout the ages.
Caution, caution, dead ahead.
This love of which you speak, it makes your reason weak,
clouds of bliss clutter your brain,
disperse to hell, any thought that's sane.
- And if for love, I risk not all,
tell me then of a worthier call, or a better time.
Perhaps when I'm older, let this one slip by,
let the falls just grow colder?
- Very well, do as you please.
But a better time might be, when the one you love
threatens not to damage, as does she.
Regardless of your choice, your friend I'll always be,
and when a shoulder is in need, you can count on me.
- Thank you, and fear not,
for love cradles my heart.
I think I know of the solution, to ease your disillusion.
My love you soon shall meet, and find she's more than sweet.
I believe she's got a friend,
I'll make sure she comes along,
you could use a little drink, a little dance, a little song.
- So, you're an actress, Michael did say.
- Just finished her 17th play.
Amazing to behold, so glamorous, so natural.
If only I could be so bold.
- Honey, you too are amazing.
Look at you!
You've got just what it takes.
You just have to let go, take your foot off the brakes.
- Maybe, I don't know.
- So when's your next show?
- Not for a while, it's time to stake my claim:
Hollywood's the name of the game.
- I see, wow, congratulations.
But Los Angeles is far, have you no reservations?
- No, I've nothing to lose, and nothing standing in my way.
It's losers who fear, worry day to day.
- Well, that's quite harsh, wouldn't you say?
Somebody may be careful,
but it doesn't merit insult so dreadful.
- I guess that's why you're both so successful.
- Alexa.
- Michael's quite talented, I guess you don't know.
He just got back from Paris, has written a show.
- A small play for some bourgeois institution.
They wanted a modern tale of the French Revolution.
- I'll say you're overly modest.
Small as it may have been, I read the reviews,
it did very well.
Well, bravo!
Sarah, who knew?
- Cheers to you.
- So which do you prefer, film or theater?
- Film, of course,
there's a lot more money to be made,
and the fame is even more so great.
- Big dreams, hard to reach.
- And what do you do again?
Oh, right, you teach.
- John was actually gonna write for The Times.
He had gotten the job and was on his way...
- But I changed my mind and I'm perfectly happy this way.
You see, Alexa, I don't think
fortune and fame can complete you,
but if you simply love what you do,
happiness will come to greet you.
- So, when are you moving out to LA?
- In just a few weeks, end of May.
Sarah is helping me move out there.
- Oh, you don't say?
- Yeah, don't worry.
I'm not going out there to stay, just a week or two at most.
Well, to you, Alexa, here's a toast.
- Okay, so a teacher?
Ugh, what's that all about?
- You don't have to act out.
He was on his way, job in hand.
His father died, heart attack.
Mom got sick, so much for that.
And on top of that, his girlfriend left him
for some guy in upstate New York.
- What a dork.
- Don't be mean.
I think it's sweet he gave it all up
to take care of his mom.
- Well, I think it's dumb.
He could've put her in care.
And what about his dreams, his life, his girlfriend?
I guess to think of that, oh no, he wouldn't dare.
- I can't believe you see it that way.
What if it was your mother?
- Mom's dead, remember?
Don't bother.
Hmm?
- I have to admit, I'm somewhat perplexed.
Sarah seems kind, the other, quite vexed.
- They grew up together, childhood friends,
though it's clear she's a bad influence.
- Ah, well, good luck with that.
- What, you're not staying?
Only if you're buying...
Come on, I'm just playing.
- Well, hello again.
- So, who's your friend?
- What, you've yet to mention me?
- Huh?
Oh, it's a game, I see.
Nice, you had me going.
So what am I pouring?
- Shots, if you would be so kind.
- Tequila?
- And beer, if you don't mind.
- Mind?
Why, not in the least.
- Look at you, you sexy beast!
- Cut it out.
She's nice, huh?
- Yeah, duh.
- Here you go, hun.
Come back for more.
- God, you're such a bore.
They should really turn up the air.
- Yeah, it's hot in here.
- You gonna share?
Oh, you're cute.
What's your name?
Wanna play a drinking game?
- Wow, well, that didn't take long.
No, you're wrong.
- This is not what it looks like.
- Right, I don't even know what to say.
- These girls are drunk.
- Hey!
- Sarah, we're leaving, now.
- Sarah, wait.
- What?
- I don't know that girl, she's wasted,
she sat on my lap, you walked out just as she sat.
And you're sticking to that?
- Yes, why would I lie?
I'm not that guy.
- It's fine, I believe you.
- But let's call it a night, huh?
We should go,
it just feels right.
- Okay, goodnight.
- Goodnight.
- It's Sarah.
I guess we're okay.
She's asking to meet, I should go right away.
- Michael, be careful.
I was not too impressed, and Alexa,
she seems like the devil, just a bit better dressed.
- Goodnight, and don't worry,
I'm sure I'll be fine.
- It's precisely those words that don't ease my mind.
âª Baby, there you are âª
âª I won't let you get far âª
âª Oh no, no, no âª
âª Well, nice to see you too âª
âª I see you two had fun âª
âª Maybe too much fun âª
âª Baby âª
âª Whao âª
âª Let's go out, the night's still young âª
âª Let's go out and have some fun âª
âª You know it's half past 1:00 âª
âª Baby âª
âª We're in love, or so you say âª
- So I say?
âª Baby âª
âª I need more than love tonight âª
âª I need more to feel all right, baby âª
âª Baby âª
âª Take me out and about âª
âª Let's have fun, let's be young forever âª
âª If we only live once, let us drink, let us dance âª
âª Let us live so wild and free âª
âª Only you and you for me âª
âª Baby âª
âª Passion, passion, lips are burning âª
âª Skin to skin, my body's yearning âª
âª For love, for love âª
âª So take me in your arms tonight âª
âª I want to feel you âª
âª Deep inside my soul âª
âª I want to be the only one âª
âª The only one you love âª
âª I want to be your everything you've ever dreamed of âª
âª Be your fantasy, your ever-after âª
âª Be your anything you want, fulfill your desires âª
âª This fantasy's runnin' wild âª
âª Touch me, hold me, kiss me slowly âª
âª Tease me, thrill me, gently, softly âª
âª Your love âª
âª Drives me wild âª
âª Tonight âª
âª How's your head, you feel all right âª
âª Oh, what a night âª
âª You got that right âª
âª But you look lovely as can be âª
âª Don't make me blush, it's too early âª
âª And oh, my head âª
âª Come here, lie down âª
âª Come back to bed âª
âª I should lie down âª
âª I made you coffee âª
âª You're too kind âª
âª Cream or sugar âª
âª Nevermind âª
âª Lying here beside you, all my dreams have come true âª
âª My longing, my searching is finally through âª
âª With you âª
âª Here by my side âª
âª I can't quite believe what I've finally found âª
âª It's hard to believe, believe far deep down âª
âª That this could be real âª
âª It's real âª
âª Love is this love, this is love that I feel âª
âª I look in your eyes and I'm carried away âª
âª Far from the madness âª
âª The tortures of day are gone âª
âª Please let this be real âª
âª It has to be real âª
âª It's real âª
âª Sarah âª
âª I love you âª
Did we own time?
Because it managed to elude us.
We held it in our grasp.
But time, you hardly knew us.
We played your ageless game.
Each kiss would just delude us.
Intoxicated, dazed.
Perhaps too well you knew us.
Did we own time?
So what's new with you?
- Not much, really, Sarah got a callback
for an audition, and I've just been writing.
- You two are on a mission, that's exciting.
- Congratulations, dear.
What are we celebrating?
- Nothing yet, wishful thinking, I got a callback,
I've been auditioning.
- Nice, that's wonderful honey, break a leg!
And speaking of legs, your friend
Alexa's down there making some rich guy beg.
Just look at that dress.
- That's Alexa, she certainly knows how to get attention.
- And her type of guy, not to mention.
Oh my gosh!
Oh my god, well, hello there!
Robert, this is my roommate, Sarah.
- Sarah, pleasure to meet you, Alexa's said great things.
- Yep, took this little one under my wings.
Don't worry, honey, I said nothing but good things.
So, how are you and Michael?
- Great, he's by the bar.
And you, you're looking like a star.
- Oh, this old thing, why thank you.
And your audition, how did it go?
- That's right, you don't know.
I got a callback.
That's fantastic.
Oh, soon you'll get so many, you won't keep track.
- Sorry, give me a second, I have to take this.
- So, who's the guy?
- You mean the handsome devil in the suit and tie?
He's a stockbroker I met the other night.
He drives a Porsche.
Oh, so he's just right.
- So far, so good, we're going to Tao later tonight.
You two should come along.
- I don't know.
- I'm sorry, it's a work thing.
I'm gonna have to call it a night.
- Oh, that's all right.
Sarah and I were just saying
how long it's been since we've hung out.
- Great, so you two will have fun, no doubt.
We'll do it soon.
- Mm-hmm.
Gotta run.
- Screw him, let's have fun.
- Yeah, sure, you wanna join us?
- No, but let's discuss.
Girls' night out?
Come on, Sarah, it's been so long.
It'll be fun.
- I don't know, hun, I'm out with Michael.
You are always out with Michael.
Please?
I'm all alone, all dressed up with nowhere to go.
- Okay, all right, I'll let him know.
- Yay, my bestie's back!
- Well, look what the cat dragged in.
- Dressed in black and ready to sin.
- Told you so.
- Hi John, how are you?
Richy, right?
We've met before?
- A few times, I'm pretty sure.
- Hi Alexa, it's nice to see you too.
Where's your date?
- He had to work late.
It's a drag, but whatever.
Sarah's gonna make it all better.
- Really?
- Is that okay, girls' night out?
I'll make it up to you.
- You don't have to.
Go have fun, I'll see you back at my place.
- Ooh, how sweet, just look at that face!
âª Tonight is ours, we're taking it back âª
âª Tonight is ours, there's no looking back âª
âª Come on âª
âª Baby, let's have fun âª
âª Tonight is ours, girl, yours and mine âª
âª I wanna dance, drink all the wine, tonight âª
âª Whoa-ooh, oh, tonight âª
âª Gonna live, gonna dance, succumb to the night âª
âª Don't want rules, don't want guides âª
âª I'm ready to fight tonight âª
âª I'm putting up a fight âª
âª So come on, world, take your shot, I'm gonna take mine âª
âª Two or three, maybe four, hell, I want some more âª
âª Tonight âª
âª Whoa-ooh, oh, tonight âª
âª You're not the boss of me, no one's the boss of me âª
âª I'm free âª
âª No more inhibitions, baby, let's go wild âª
âª No stupid conditions, no longer a child âª
âª I'm free âª
âª Tonight, tonight's for me âª
âª Tonight I'm young, I wanna have fun âª
âª I wanna taste the thrill on my lips âª
âª I wanna dance and shake my hips âª
âª Rub myself on a boy âª
âª Be his dirty toy âª
âª I want to make him get on the floor âª
âª I want to watch him beg for more, watch out âª
âª I'm not your little whore âª
âª Tonight, I'm out to get what I want âª
âª So watch out, world, I'll get what I want âª
âª Tonight âª
âª Nothing's standing in my way âª
âª No way âª
Jesus, are you okay?
- Hi, bay...
ugh, my head.
- Sarah, you're a wreck.
- I know, but I'm back.
- Are you high?
Did you get high?
- We were dancing, and there was some guy,
he gave it to Alexa and I.
- And you got high.
Great.
Awesome, I don't know what to say.
- Stop it, Michael, please, another day.
I'm sorry, baby.
I'm so sorry.
I got drunk, I wasn't thinking.
- Maybe it's time you quit drinking.
Look, Sarah,
I'm not trying to be a prude, but this,
this shit isn't good.
I've lost good friends, it's a downward spiral.
You can't just give in.
- I know.
I'm trying.
I'm sorry.
You know that I have.
- I know.
I know.
Sleep now, love.
How'd it go?
- Hi.
How'd you know?
- You told me, remember?
- Oh, that's right.
Well, I won't be an equity member.
- They don't know what you're worth.
- At least I have you on this earth.
Let's grab a drink.
- It's a little bit early, don't you think?
How 'bout a coffee instead?
- Okay, but not that one cafe I dread.
- No, of course not.
Come on.
Which means he's not technically--
Hold on.
Hi, Mom.
Mom, what's wrong?
What?
No, I'm fine.
I love you too.
- What's wrong?
What's going on?
Sarah?
- It's my dad.
He's dead.
- I'm sorry, love, I'm so sorry.
- I'm not.
- Sarah?
- What?
He was my dad, and he just left.
Now he's gone again.
I loved him, but I won't pretend that now I hate him
even more than I have all these years before.
What gives him the right, the goddamn right
to now come into light out of nowhere and for what?
- Don't say that, Sarah.
I know you're hurting, but you have to forgive him.
You have to find a way to let go.
- Sure, Michael, if you say so.
- Look, lay him to rest.
Rid yourself of that anger in your chest.
Send it away, don't hold it in.
- To hate this much must be a sin.
I'm not going.
I don't give a damn, I'm not going.
He's not going to win.
- Win what, Sarah?
It's over.
If you don't let it go, he does win, win over your soul,
over your peace of mind, over you for all time.
You need to let it go.
- Looks like there's nothing you don't know, huh, Michael?
You're always so damn right!
- Don't take this out on me, on us.
It's not right. - I gotta go.
I'm sorry, I just have to go.
- Sarah, wait!
Sarah!
Michael, listen, you need to come down.
It's Sarah, she's drunk and stumbling around.
Baby, Sarah.
- Oh, hey.
- Are you okay?
She's fine, Michael, let her be.
- She doesn't need drinks!
She needs me.
- Oh, sure, lover boy, you're just everyone's savior.
Don't get out of hand, watch your bad behavior.
- What is your problem?
Michael, leave her alone.
She's taking care of me.
I need this.
- This?
What is this?
Getting trashed to the point where you can no longer walk?
Sarah, please, let's go talk.
- There's nothing to say.
I told you, today, I don't care.
- See?
She's well aware.
Just let her live, let her be.
- Alexa, get away from me.
- Oh, you are my hero, coming to save me.
Cheers to my hero.
Sarah, please, no.
Love, look at me.
This is not what you need.
- What do I need, Michael?
Love?
Bullshit!
No more love, none so true to which devotion is deserved!
All that I've had, all that I've loved
rotted with poison or poisoned to rot!
I've nothing left!
But don't complain, I'll give what I can.
- Then you'll give pain.
âª I'm not afraid of life anymore âª
âª I'm not afraid to try anymore âª
âª I'm not afraid of love anymore âª
âª I know you'll come back soon, soon enough âª
âª I'll be back soon, fear not âª
âª This is tough âª
âª Don't be afraid, my love, don't give up âª
âª You can't give up, can't let them win âª
âª Find the strength, the strength within âª
KATE, JOHN, MICHAEL & SARAH: âª I know I need you by my side âª
âª Passion, passion, life is changing âª
âª Old man time is rearranging our lives âª
âª Our destiny âª
âª I'm not afraid to try, I'll succeed âª
âª This time apart is just what we need to clear our minds âª
- âª I don't need time, what I need is you âª - âª Don't be afraid, my friend, you've got time âª
âª All I've ever needed is you âª âª Don't be afraid, I know you'll be fine âª
âª Here by my side âª
âª You are you, you're smart and you're kind âª
âª Don't let this world change your mind âª
âª Know yourself, know what you're worth âª
âª I've been around, I know what you're worth âª
âª You're worthy of love âª
- âª Passion, passion, my heart's turning âª - âª Passion, passion, be returning âª
âª Away from fears, I'm slowly learning âª âª Come back soon, I'll be yearning âª
âª To love myself, to love you âª âª For you, for you, Sarah âª
âª I'm not afraid of love anymore âª - âª I'm not afraid, I know who I am âª
âª I know that love can open the door âª âª Of what they think, I don't give a damn âª
âª I'm free âª
âª Watch out, world, here I come âª
âª Taking back what's mine âª
âª Watch out now, look out, boys âª

âª I've got to find a better way âª
âª I'll make it through, I know I will survive âª
âª I've got you right by my side âª

âª Together, we are better than alone âª
âª Life is unpredictable âª
âª We're always lost, always one step behind âª
âª There's no way to change the past âª
âª There's no way to turn back time âª
âª I just know we have to make it last somehow âª
- âª Got to find a way to win âª - âª Got to let love in again âª

Father Conor.
- Michael. - You got a moment?
- Yes, of course, what's on your mind?
- Quite a bit, I hope you've got time.
I'm having trouble processing my thoughts,
I can hardly even write.
- I take it Sarah is not yet back, right?
- Right, but I'm not sure that's entirely the problem.
I think there's more to it than her being away.
- I see.
Well, by all means, speak freely, speak away.
- It was right before she left the other night.
She got high,
we had a fight,
and ever since, I feel something's not right.
You've known me since I was younger.
To find true love has been like a hunger.
I don't know why quite often I feel so alone,
longing for someone to call my own, a partner in crime,
to make me whole, to fill that aching gap in my soul.
And Sarah, I'm certain she's the one,
she's incredible and I love her already,
even though it's not been that long.
- Michael, perhaps that's what wrong.
But before I sound like I'm preaching, please go on.
- Sarah's got a past, as I did once say,
but in truth, don't we all in some way?
I know she wants to change,
or at least I hope that's her conviction.
Though I'm sensing her habits,
less leisure, leaning closer to addiction.
I know I can help her if I just give her, if just show her--
That you love her?
Michael, you can't change her, nor can you be her savior.
- I don't want to change her.
Okay, maybe her behavior, at times.
But aren't we taught to do all that we can for others,
to be good Christian brothers?
- Yes, we are but don't confuse or cleverly choose
to interpret God's teachings to do as you choose.
You can't will her to change, you'll only lose.
- What am I supposed to do?
What does everyone expect, that I just walk away?
It's not gonna happen, Father, no way.
- I'm not saying walk away.
But if her love for you is reciprocal,
she'll do what she has to do.
But don't think for one second
that your love will change her, save her,
be some healing, cleansing gown.
If she's to truly change her ways,
it must come from her, from somewhere deep down.
- That's precisely what I don't understand.
Shouldn't I be her helping hand,
the one that pulls her from the sinking sand?
- Oh, Michael, that's a thin line and a delicate one, too.
Is it you doing the pulling or is it down she's pulling you?
Are you ready to crucify yourself for her sins?
Can you carry that cross?
- If I don't, isn't it all already a loss?
The truth is I don't know,
but I'm willing to see how far I can go.
I have to try, it's all I can do.
- Then godspeed and strength to you.
I'll be praying for you both.
I suggest you calmly speak out your concerns.
Set aside that passion that burns.
Try to explain what's at stake and what's to gain.
- That indeed does sound sane, sane and rational advice.
Thank you, Father, once again.
You are a wise and good friend.
- To my sheep, I'll always tend.
And while God grants me the time,
I, in return, shall grant you mine.
But more importantly, know that God above
is there for you and always will be.
For thus His love spans throughout time for all eternity.
âª So where do you go when the time has come âª
âª When you gotta put your dreams aside âª
âª Passion is dying, the future's crying âª
âª And you gotta live the rest of your life âª
âª The shit that they sell you, if self-assuring âª
âª You're always ready to buy âª
âª Keep drinking the Kool-Aid, you're gonna make it âª
âª All you gotta do is try âª
âª They say all you gotta do is try âª
âª Well, I've been trying, I ain't lying âª
âª But I'm sure not getting ahead âª
âª Be a romantic, a nice cliche âª
âª You'll be famous after you're dead âª
âª Yeah, they'll worship you after you're dead âª
âª Where's my appraiser âª
âª How much am I worth âª
âª Who the hell defines success âª
âª Am I a failure âª
âª Have I succeeded âª
âª If at failing I'm the very best âª
âª This fabrication, determination âª
âª To become some bullshit we're not âª
âª Come on, Timmy, get on Youtube âª
âª Show the world you're so damn hot âª
âª Just show the world you're so damn hot âª
âª It's a vicious cycle, you can't escape it âª
âª You just keep on buying the lie âª
âª Now you're selling, come on, children âª
âª All you gotta do is try âª
âª They say all you gotta do is try âª
âª So where do you go when the time has come âª
âª When you gotta put your dreams aside âª
âª Passion is dying, the future's crying âª
âª And you gotta live the rest of your life âª
âª A sugarcoated, empty promise âª
âª Is the cotton candy they sell âª
âª We're always willing, always ready âª
âª Just don't mind the smell âª
âª Well what if it's my tur, should be so lucky âª
âª Look, Mom, I'm on TV âª
âª Open your eyes, you silly child âª
âª You gotta face reality âª
âª It's not nice, but it's reality âª
- What a lovely New York day, wouldn't you say?
- Oh my God, are you back?
No way, I thought you said tomorrow.
- Surprise, lover, no more waiting in sorrow.
- If only I had a car I could borrow.
I wanted to pick you up at the airport.
You really shoulda told me.
- Yet this is much sweeter, don't you agree?
Are you gonna keep talking away?
Pretty soon, it'll be tomorrow, not today.
Right, no, I'm on my way.
So, how was LA?
I'm sure you've got a million stories, do tell.
- LA's amazing, who knew?
And of course, for Alexa, a real dream come true.
- So Alexa got on well, I figured as much,
though I'm surprised you liked it as well.
- Well, I can't say I miss the smell.
The sun, the palm trees, beautiful sky,
I can see myself out there, I'm not gonna lie.
- I hope not without me.
You know I'd just die.
- And John and Kate, how are they?
- Really well, saw them the other day.
They're actually moving in together.
Can you believe it?
- No.
Wow.
Going legit, that's great.
- I know.
Ironic, they met on our double date.
- That's right, I almost forgot.
- Alexa and John, definitely not.
About what happened when you left,
I know you said it's something you'd rather forget,
but I've been giving it a lot of thought--
- I'd rather not.
But I know, I've thought about it, too, and
I'm sorry if I hurt you.
- I'm afraid the one who's hurting's really you.
I think we should talk more about your past
and the things that ail you.
- Michael, no, I don't want to.
I hate reliving my past.
I'd rather focus on our future, make it last.
Well, there won't be much of a future,
not while this shadow's cast.
- You mean me getting high?
Look, I'm scared too, I won't lie.
I thought I was done, but then I'm out,
I get drunk, and it's fun.
At least, I mean, it's not like I'm high all the time.
- Is that supposed to give me peace of mind?
Look, you should really quit this crap while you can.
It's not who you are and it's not who I know you can be.
- So if I don't quit, what?
You'll go?
Leave me?
Great, what a fantastic date.
- Move in with me.
- Move in?
How will that fix anything?
- I don't know, but I do know how much I missed you.
When I laid eyes on you this afternoon,
all my doubts were gone.
I know you weren't away for that long,
but I thought about you every second
of every day, of the things you did say.
You said we needed time.
I couldn't get your eyes out of my mind.
- I missed you too, and I also couldn't stop thinking
about the way we left things, the fights, the drinking.
Michael, I want to change.
I want to be that girl you want, the good you see in me.
- Sarah, you are good.
You're changing and you're trying.
You just gotta trust in yourself.
Trust in us, believe.
- But what if it's your trust and love that I deceive?
I don't want to hurt you, and I'm afraid.
- Then let me hold you and let your heart be swayed.
Together, we've nothing to fear.
Together, there's nothing standing in our way.
âª And there's no point in walking away âª
âª When you know, by my side, you should stay âª
âª No point at all, don't you see âª
âª When you know you belong next to me âª
âª You're the girl of my dreams âª
âª You're the girl of my life âª
âª And there's no way in hell I won't make you my wife âª
âª You're the girl that I love, oh so much and adore âª
âª You're the girl with the key âª
âª That can unlock the door to my heart âª
âª Whoa, ooh-oh âª
âª To my heart âª
âª And there's no point in running away âª
âª When I know, in your arms, I must stay âª
âª No point at all, this I know âª
âª For the love in my heart won't let go âª
âª You're the boy of my dreams âª
âª You're the boy of my life âª
âª You're the boy who someday will make me his wife âª
âª You're the boy that I love oh so much and adore âª
âª You're the boy with the key âª
âª That can open the door to my heart âª
âª Whoa, oh, oh âª
âª To my heart âª
âª Heal my heart âª
âª And there's no point in trying to ignore âª
âª How we feel, what we know is at our door âª
âª This passion, this love, it is real âª
âª Stronger than any before âª
- âª You're the boy of my dreams âª - âª You're the girl of my dreams âª
âª You're the boy of my life âª âª You're the girl of my life âª
âª You can heal all the pain âª âª I'll battle the world âª
âª You can lessen the strife âª âª Just to make you my wife âª
âª You're the boy that I love âª âª You're the girl that I love âª
âª You can unlock the door âª âª And willl always adore âª
âª Heal and teach my heart âª âª You're the girl with the key âª
âª To love once more âª âª That has opened the door âª
âª Whoa, oh âª âª To my heart âª
âª I love you so âª
âª Passion, passion, fire's burning âª
âª Back to love, our hearts returning again âª
âª Again âª
âª To love âª
- Michael, how you doin'?
- Good, man, how's it going?
- Not bad, you know me, gotta keep it moving.
How's that fellowship,
did you apply?
- Not just yet.
- Why?
- I've been busy.
Relationships are hard man, no lie.
- That's why it's solo I fly,
keeps me feeling breezy.
- That's a bit cheesy.
Then again, I'm one to talk.
I know it's my affairs you always mock.
- No, man, we're proud of you.
This one seems to be going well.
- Can you tell?
It is.
It's okay, I guess.
Few ups and downs, but more smiles than frowns.
- Good for you, Michael, good for you.
And John, hey, looks like you're contagious,
I'd best stay away.
When it hits you, it hits you,
what can I say.
So, you think he's doing okay?
We've not had a heart-to-heart in a while.
Well, Kate's certainly making him smile.
But I'm a bit concerned about him
in regards to his writings.
He keeps sending things off and still no one's biting.
It's pretty demotivating, I feel for the guy.
- Well, I have an idea that might be worth a try.
The fellowship is fully paid for
with promising prospects once completed.
I think it could reinflate his confidence,
the one sorely depleted.
I'm applying for him without him knowing.
This way, should he not get in, it won't be so bad.
Okay, maybe just a tad.
Then again, ignorance is bliss.
- True, but it's you who'll have to carry this.
I see that you're trying to be helpful
as you always are, but you're playing with John's dreams.
You don't want to leave a scar.
- I know, I'm conflicted, but I think it's worth a shot.
He's losing motivation, and we both know he should not.
He's good, Richy.
He just needs another chance.
- I think he's just tired of the same old song and dance.
But you're right, he is good, we both know it.
He just needs one open door so he can show it.
- So I guess it's a go.
- Let's just hope it's not a no.
I'll catch you later. - Later, gator.
- Hello?
Oh, hi, yes, this is he.
You got my work, that's great.
And you like it!
Thank you, that's, that's wonderful.
I'm sorry, I'm not following.
A writer's workshop,
uh-huh.
And it costs how much?
Okay.
Right.
Okay, I'll consider it, thank you.
No, that's okay, I'll call you.
Thank you.
Goodbye.
âª You keep living in your dreams, they don't exist âª
âª So much of life you've come to love, so much you've missed âª
âª The falls in your life keep getting colder âª
âª Getting harsher, faster, bolder âª
âª Let them be âª
âª Time has come, you gotta let go âª
âª Your age, you know, is starting to show âª
âª You're not that boy you used to be âª
âª Careless, reckless, wild and free âª
âª Nothing could stop you, nothing could stop you âª
âª Nothing could stop you then âª
âª That facade is starting to crack âª
âª The smile is gone, I want it back âª
âª It was only once upon a time âª
âª Jadis, si je me souviens bien âª
âª Beauty smiled; it flowed, the wine from me âª
âª Now it's time to face the facts âª
âª Of what you have and what you lack âª
âª What you were never meant to be âª
âª Is harder to accept than what you are âª
âª You keep living in your dreams, they don't exist âª
âª They're now nightmares filled with tortures, killing bliss âª
âª From this hell, you must awaken âª
âª You don't want to be forsaken âª
âª And their bitterness will linger for all time âª
âª No more sweet wine, no more sweet wine âª
âª No more sweet wine for me, carry on âª
âª Wake me up, teach me to live âª
âª Teach me to give, teach me to love, who I am âª
âª Gotta face reality, forget this stupid fantasy âª
âª Make something from the ashes of these dreams âª
âª No more living in your dreams, they don't exist âª
âª Say goodbye forever now, they won't be missed âª
âª I'll be better off without them âª
âª No more lying, no more crying âª
âª No pretending I'm not dying deep inside âª
âª I'm waking up âª
- Guess what.
I got a job.
You won't have to cover rent all by yourself.
Wow, congratulations, love.
What show, have you been auditioning,
I didn't know?
- Well, no, it's not a show, it's at the bar,
but it works out great this way.
I'll work a few nights a week and audition during the day.
Oh, okay.
- You don't seem happy.
- No, yay!
Seriously, that's great.
Let's go out and celebrate.
Call John and Kate.
âª Look what just arrived, and in the nick of time âª
âª Not another one of those, please tell me that's not mine âª
âª No, I mean, it's better âª
âª It's not what you're thinking âª
âª Better than rejection âª
âª Come on, let's go drinking âª
âª Okay, get to it, what's the news âª
âª What's this all about âª
âª It's a fellowship, dear John, fully paid, no doubt âª
âª Congratulations, old chap âª
âª I'm jealous, I won't lie âª
âª We both got in, you old fool âª
âª But I didn't apply âª
âª I know you didn't, dear old John, for indeed that was I âª
âª I knew you would get in âª
âª You deserve the recognition âª
âª Forget the corporate swine âª
âª Let the writing be your mission âª
âª You can leave this job behind âª
âª Go and expand your own mind âª
âª We'll get paid to write and write, fuel our inspiration âª
âª I'm not sure there's any left âª
âª It's been killed off by frustration âª
âª You're the lucky one, you see âª
âª You're the lucky one, not me âª
âª You're the one who gets his way âª
âª Each and every day âª
âª I try and I try, and I can't get it right âª
âª I don't know why âª
âª It's just a rigged game âª
âª Just when I feel things are starting to change âª
âª There goes my luck âª
âª Mocking my pain âª
âª Maybe I've held on to hope for so long âª
âª It's now rusted âª
âª By tears through the years, corroded away âª
âª Maybe there simply just wasn't a way âª
âª To polish âª
âª The dirt, all the grime âª
âª I'm no shiny dime, a penny at best âª
âª Tossed to the ground âª
âª Just like the rest âª
âª Okay, enough, stop feeling sorry for yourself âª
âª This pity party stops right here âª
âª Your luck is changing, don't you see âª
âª It's for your writings, not for me, that you were accepted âª
âª John, you were accepted âª
âª Now's the time to look ahead âª
âª Raise your eyes, hold up your head âª
âª You're still young, don't you forget âª
âª Triumph's out there, go and get âª
âª What's yours, John âª
âª It's yours, John âª
âª What's it all about, Charlie âª
âª What's it all about, Joe âª
âª Do you believe you'll get out alive âª
âª Make it to 75 with a wife âª
âª And you know âª
âª Whoa-oh ooh-oh, oh, oh âª
âª And you know, whoa-oh ooh-oh âª
âª Drink, drink, drink, drink âª
âª Tonight âª
âª Drink, drink, drink, drink âª
âª All right âª
âª Hey, Charlie âª
âª Hey, Joe âª
âª Hey, Charlie âª
âª Hey, Joe âª
âª Rock 'n' roll âª
- Hey, you're still planning on coming out
with us tonight, right?
Scored a little something white.
- I'm not sure, Michael's at home waiting.
- Ah, that guy you've been dating.
- Yeah, my boyfriend, I thought you knew.
- I did, I'm just messing with you.
Well, we're all going out.
It's gonna be fun, if you change your mind.
- Let me text him, let him know I won't be home on time.
That a girl.
Hello?
What?
She's what?
It's a bit loud, Richy.
I'll be right there.
Keep an eye on her, please.
âª Are you fucking high again âª
âª You've got to be kidding me âª
âª I guess you don't give a damn âª
âª Maybe you never did âª
- I'm sorry.
âª What does that even mean âª
âª You're so sorry every time âª
âª And now you're kissing some guy âª
âª Have you fucking lost your mind âª
- Michael.
âª I can't do this anymore âª
âª I can't play your stupid games âª
âª I thought by now you might have changed âª
âª But you haven't, no, you haven't âª
âª Michael, I can change âª
âª But you haven't, no, you haven't âª
âª How do you think I feel âª
âª You're ripping me apart each time you break my heart âª
âª I'm dying, trying âª
âª Trying to understand, trying to be the man you want âª
âª Trying to have fun âª
âª Guess I'm just not that fun âª
âª Maybe I'm not the one to save you âª
âª Don't say that, please don't say that âª
âª I don't want our love to end âª
âª I'm sorry âª
âª I was foolish, I was wrong âª
âª So foolish, so damn wrong âª
âª I love you âª
âª You love me, you love me âª
âª Sarah, open your damn eyes âª
âª Listen to your lies âª
âª You love me âª
âª This isn't love âª
âª 'Cause you'll just get high again âª
âª The way that you always do âª
âª You'll say it was a mistake âª
âª You'll say that you're sorry, too âª
âª I won't, I won't âª
âª This time, it's not the same âª
âª I won't, I won't âª
âª Can't you see I wanna change, change for you âª
âª I love you, I love you âª
âª Michael, yes, I do âª
âª I'm sorry, so sorry âª
âª I'm sorry I hurt you âª
âª I want to take it all back and make it better âª
âª Be the girl you want, the love you need âª
âª Heal and mend your heart, make you complete âª
âª So, baby, give me one more chance âª
âª You won't regret it âª
âª Just give me one more chance âª
âª Baby, I swear I'll change for you âª
âª I'll change for you âª
âª I can change for you âª
âª I know that I can âª
âª For you âª
âª For love âª
âª For you âª
âª For love âª
âª Passion, passion, lips are burning âª
âª Back to love, our hearts' returning to love âª
âª To love, again âª
âª Again âª
âª Are you okay âª
âª You seem a little odd âª
âª Yes, I'm okay âª
âª Besides, I'm always odd âª
- True. âª Help me with this thought âª
âª You're the writer, are you not âª
âª I'll give it my best shot âª
âª You know the thing 'bout finding who you are âª
âª That certain meditation âª
âª Do you mean self-reflection âª
- No, well, kind of.
âª What we're destined to become âª
âª You mean fate âª
- Yes, no.
âª God, I feel so dumb âª
âª Don't be silly, Kate, go on âª
âª It's just that âª
âª I've always been myself âª
âª It's always just been me âª
âª Then you came along âª
âª And now, we'll soon be three âª
- What, what!
âª Oh my god âª
âª Kate, I love you so âª
âª Oh my god âª
âª You don't even know âª
âª How much I love you so âª
âª I love you too âª
âª But love, what will we do âª
âª We're kinda broke and I won't be working too âª
âª At least not for awhile âª
âª We're gonna have a child âª
âª Don't worry, love âª
âª We'll figure what to do âª
âª I'll just teach, I'll work the summers, too âª
âª But, John, what about you âª
âª Your fellowship âª
âª You said this was your chance âª
âª You can't give up your chance âª
âª Kate, you are my chance âª
âª You're my everything, my love âª
âª I was living in my dreams, they weren't real âª
âª This love I have right here before me, this is real âª
âª This baby in your womb, it's a miracle of love âª
âª Livin' in our dreams, they do exist, mm âª
âª Don't you see exactly what this is âª
âª Dreams become reality âª
âª This dream is a reality for me âª
âª Your love is my dream come true âª
âª This baby is my dream come true âª
âª I want to spend my whole life next to you âª
âª I was living in a dream, I never knew âª
âª All I had to do was wake up, make it true âª
âª Open up my eyes, read between the lines âª
âª Look a little closer âª
âª It's right there before your eyes âª
âª Livin' in your dreams, they're not a lie âª
âª Embrace this new reality âª
âª What once was two will soon be three âª
âª Givin', livin', lovin', laughin' âª
âª Careless, wild, and free âª
âª Us three âª
âª And then more âª
- Hi, what are you doing home?
I thought you had to work.
- Nope, no more work, I'm no longer their little fool.
- You quit?
- I'm going back to school.
Baby, that's amazing!
This is so cool, I'm so proud.
- That's right, Mr. Fiorelli, you can say that aloud.
This girl is going to put her brain to work.
No more serving drinks to every horny jerk.
- Well, that's a relief.
I'm in disbelief, so when do you start?
- Soon, I enrolled today and I have a full cart.
The amount of books, who knew?
They're quite costly, too.
- Don't worry, love, I can help you cover it.
I've got the upcoming fellowship,
some residuals, and a few small jobs.
We'll be just fine, go enlighten your mind.
- I can't wait.
Thank you, Michael.
I love you so much.
Thank you, baby.
- So shall we go be thankful in the bedroom?
Maybe.
âª All of the things you wanted âª
âª Everything you could have been âª
âª All of the things you wanted âª
âª Seem so trivial now, so thin âª
âª Who told you then, you couldn't win âª
âª You wouldn't win âª
âª Look at me now, I'm shining âª
âª I'm on top of the whole damn world âª
- Shh.
âª I'm gonna be a father, to some little boy or girl âª
âª I'm gonna be their daddy âª
âª Gonna be their whole wide world and they're true love âª
âª So pure and true âª
âª My God, who knew âª
âª All of the years I wasted feeling sorry for myself âª
âª All of the books I've read, yet the truth was on the shelf âª
âª All along, it was right there âª
âª In front of me, too blind to see âª
âª I was living in my dreams, but now they're real âª
âª I'm wide awake and I know love and it is real âª
âª I'll succeed for you, for them, for us, I will âª
âª With my brand new aspirations, you shall be my inspiration âª
âª I'll make you proud, I'll be the very best man I can be âª
âª I'll be a dad âª
âª I'm gonna be a dad âª
âª I'll be a dad âª
âª I'm gonna be a dad âª
âª All of the things you wanted âª
âª Everything you could have been âª
âª Not in your wildest dreams âª
âª Or anywhere there in between, could you find love âª
âª Would you know now âª
âª Just what it means âª
âª To truly win âª
- Once, the seasons were worshiped,
and so long time did seem.
Were those the days when dreams were planned to live,
but never came to be?
Reality was still then fiction,
or the hopes and imagination of a sparkling youth.
Harshness was but a gentle scrape or bruise.
And pain...
was only when you cried.
Sarah?
Where's your head?
Have you even listened to a word I've said?
- Do we need more bread?
It's on sale.
- Well, this relationship is getting stale.
Bread?
Are you serious?
- What?
Oh, I'm sorry, was I supposed to be concentrating on you?
Like I'm always supposed to,
listening to how great you are, how great you're doing?
I'm sick of applauding, Michael.
I feel like booing.
- What the hell is wrong with you?
What did I do, for me to deserve this?
Since when is my success an issue?
- Oh, are you upset?
Here, here's a tissue.
Sarah, love, please, what is this?
What's going on?
- I don't know, Michael.
I think I'm just sick of this song.
We're an old couple and we're not even married.
I'm tired and wearied.
This is not what I envisioned, this sappy ever-after.
It's been sucked dry of any genuine smiles and laughter.
- What you envisioned?
So please do enlighten me.
What role in your epic saga have I not lived up to be?
I haven't changed, Sarah.
I'm still the same, still caring, still loving,
still giving and, yes, still breathing.
- Right, you're still the same.
But for me, change is the name of the game, right?
Not for you, the perfect intellect.
It's me who has to learn, grow up,
stop drinking, be kinder, more caring, quicker at thinking.
Can't you see it?
Our little love boat is sinking.
- Okay, sure, we can play this pity game,
pretend our love is merely an illusion.
But it won't suffice to do away with this confusion.
I'm riddled by your words.
Please, what are you on?
- Oh, what am I on?
Good one, of course the little junkie
has to be on something.
Fuck you.
- Sarah, enough!
What the hell is going on?
- I'm tired, Michael!
I'm tired of this song!
I'm sick of it, I'm bored!
I want something more!
I'm sick of school, I'm sick of you, I'm sick of me.
I'm sick of what my life's come to be.
It just isn't me.
It's not what I want, I want to be free.
- Free?
Free like Alexa, just whore yourself out
for money and fame, is that what you want?
- No, she's not a whore!
She's got guts to go out and chase her dreams,
her dreams, not anyone else's, not yours, certainly.
- So what do you want?
What are your dreams, Sarah?
I thought we would reach them together.
Didn't we say that would be better, better than alone?
- I still feel alone,
even when you're home.
I don't want this anymore, Michael.
- What do you mean?
You mean us?
Do I not have a say in this?
Is there nothing to discuss?
- No.
There's nothing to discuss.
Maybe just our living arrangement.
- Estrangement.
- It doesn't have to be that way.
I think we can stay friends.
I still care for you, and I haven't got the means.
- The means?
Oh, you mean money?
- It's not funny.
I figure we could maybe live together for some time.
I'll work, save up to move out.
- Are you out of your mind?
You want me to live with you but us not be together?
- I think it's a minor issue we can weather.
We've been through worse by now, have we not?
- That's it.
You're nuts.
You're insane by a long shot!
- Okay, you're clearly really upset.
We can talk about it when I get back.
- When you get back?
Back from where?
Please slap me across the face and wake me the fuck up!
Your indifference is heart-wrenching enough,
so a slap might only help!
I love you.
What have I done wrong?
What am I doing wrong?
I've done nothing but love you all along.
- It's not you, okay?
It's me.
- How much more damn cliche can you be?
- I'm leaving, Michael.
I'm late.
- Late, for what?
A date?
You've gotta be fucking kidding me, right?
Oh my god, tonight?
It's not a date, it's just a friend.
- You want to live under the same roof and fuck other men?
Who are you, you monster?
And where the fuck is my girlfriend?
Fuck!
Just a second.
Michael?
What's going on?
Michael.
Kate, can we have a minute, hun?
- Of course.
- No, it's okay.
Kate, you can stay.
Can I crash with you guys for some time?
- Of course, that's absolutely fine.
You stay as long as you need.
So what now?
What's with all your stuff?
- I left.
I called her bluff.
Or at least I'm hoping that's all it was.
Perhaps after I'm gone, she'll realize what she's lost.
Maybe she'll understand that what we have
is truly worth fighting for.
- Are you keeping score?
Listen to yourself.
You're throwing punches in the air and for what?
She doesn't even care.
She's gone, Michael.
I think she's been gone for a while,
if she was ever even there.
- Did she ever even care?
John, what the hell am I supposed to do?
Look, just don't tell her where I am.
If she comes around or calls, just say you don't know.
What for, Michael, what's this little show?
- It's not a show.
It's my life.
She was supposed to be my wife.
Hi.
- Michael, hi.
Alexa just stopped by.
She dropped off your keys.
- What?
Alexa, why?
No, please.
- She didn't say anything.
She just dropped them off and left.
Michael, wait.
âª You're gone âª
âª You've left âª
âª I just don't understand âª
âª I loved you âª
âª I love you âª
âª There's nothing left âª
âª Of you behind âª
âª Just the memories in my mind âª
âª I love you âª
âª I tried âª
âª I know you know I tried âª
âª I loved you âª
âª I gave you everything I had âª
âª I would have given so much more âª
âª Had you just stayed, seen it through âª
âª I love you âª
âª I gave you everything I had âª
âª My soul laid naked at your feet âª
âª Your eyes, your smile, my defeat âª
âª I can't look in the mirror anymore, I'm frightened âª
âª Where there once was a man âª
âª There's now a boy he's frightened âª
âª Alone, cold, and afraid âª
âª You never could let go, no, no âª
âª Of the past you hated so âª
âª I know you tried, I saw you cry in vain âª
âª Now, It's all dead and lost âª
âª I see that little girl with her smile âª
âª I hear your childish laugh in the rain âª
âª Always hiding from your past âª
âª Always hiding from the pain âª
âª I can't look in the mirror anymore, it's broken âª
âª Where there once was a man, there's now a boy âª
âª He's broken, torn apart inside âª
âª Nowhere left to run âª
âª Nowhere left to hide âª
âª You're gone âª
âª Gone âª
âª Passion, passion, it was burning âª
âª In my arms, I felt your yearning âª
âª For love, for love âª
âª It's gone âª
âª I gave you everything I had, is what you told me âª
âª Nothing left to give âª
âª Nothing more but pain âª
âª Stupidly foolish, pathetic, and sad âª
âª This boy's intentions now drive him mad âª
âª Mad with resentment, riddled with hate âª
âª Hate for love, hate for living âª
âª Hate for striving, hate for giving âª
âª Hate for me, hate for you âª
âª For all that we are, for all that we were âª
âª But alas, one last refrain âª
âª Thoughts of you are to remain, forever âª
âª The scars of love, time won't heal âª
âª Love for you, I'll always feel âª
âª For the girl that you were, the love that we shared âª
âª The scar will last a lifetime yet âª
âª Never letting me forget âª
âª The girl that you were, the love that we shared âª
âª Wasted away, turned to despair âª
âª And now you're gone âª
âª And I'm so lost without you âª
âª Sarah âª
Savage beast,
that wrath which burns through your eyes,
those two sparks of bittersweet venom.
So easy to go all but insane
at the thought of love and torture of rejection.
But sweet life,
I did once love.
My stomach now fills as to explode
with streams of blood
from that remains of my ravaged heart.
- Oh, Michael, awaken.
For fair as this young maiden be,
fool yourself only you shall with such intensity.
- Too late now for looks at least,
proof of goodness yet to see, wish me luck.
Michael, come on.
Come on, get up.
Get up, lad, let's get you home.
Leave me alone.
- Come on, Michael, you're gonna get arrested.
Up we go.
- No.
- No!
- You can't keep doing this, Michael.
It's not good for you, my boy.
You can't do this to yourself.
- To myself?
To myself?
I've done nothing to myself.
- Michael, calm down, shh, it's all right.
It'll be all right.
The Lord knows you're in pain,
but from drinking, there's nothing you can gain.
You're only causing yourself harm.
I'm sorry.
Am I now cause for alarm?
Does my state trouble you, Father?
Well, look away!
I'm a lost cause, don't even bother!
- God never loses His sheep, never lets them go.
Even in your current state, this you should know.
- Go?
Go!
Well, He sure as hell let her go,
and I'm pretty sure He's not bringing her back, not for me.
There must be something I lack,
something that deems me not worthy of love.
Oh, thank you, Lord above!
- Michael, enough, get yourself together!
God is not to blame for your despair.
- That's right.
He doesn't even care.
My pain is pitiful, pathetic.
So why are you here?
If it's pity, shed a tear and leave me the hell alone.
For my sorrows, prayer cannot atone.
Michael, you're not alone.
Will you listen to me?
You are not alone.
âª Dear Lord âª
âª I'm only just a man âª
âª Please help me understand âª
âª I'll do the best I can âª
âª Dear Lord âª
âª I'm torn âª
âª Torn apart inside âª
âª Shattered, ripped to shreds âª
âª Words just can't express âª
âª This pain âª
âª This hurt âª
âª Words, words are nothing more âª
âª They won't settle the score âª
âª Or change the way I feel âª
âª I'm dead, I'm done âª
âª Hate, anger, vile hate âª
âª Rages through my mind, her image intertwined âª
âª I love and now I hate her so âª
âª Hurt so âª
âª Why, I ask you, dear Lord, why âª
âª Why, why âª
âª Haven't I heard it said âª
âª That what you give, you don't take back âª
âª Oh no, oh no âª
âª Have I, have I misunderstood âª
âª Wasn't that your word, dear Lord, dear Lord âª
âª Am I never once to find âª
âª She was never to be mine âª
âª It was all in vain, all for pain âª
âª All for sorrow, no tomorrow, why âª
âª Was it all just a lie âª
âª In vain, did my heart die âª
âª I gave her all I had âª
âª Now must I go mad âª
âª Riddled with disgust âª
âª Her eyes, my soul did trust âª
âª We swore to love, we swore to love, we swore âª
âª I guess we swore in vain âª
âª Let this be the knowledge gained âª
âª Is this now the reward âª
âª This pain, this pain âª
âª I close my eyes, regret, but never to forget âª
âª Her eyes, her lies âª
âª I loved her so âª
âª I know you know âª
âª Dear Lord, try to help me understand âª
âª I'm only just a man, dear Lord âª
âª I'm broken and betrayed âª
âª Shattered and afraid âª
âª Cold and so alone, alone âª
âª Alone âª
âª Dear Lord, if you can find a way âª
âª Take this pain away âª
âª Help me to forgive âª
âª Help me to forget her so âª
âª Her soul âª
âª I see, I feel your love in me âª
âª Your truth remains the same âª
âª To love despite the pain, dear Lord, dear Lord âª
âª So please, this, my last request âª
âª Place your armor on my chest âª
âª To help me battle on âª
âª To give, to live, to trust, I must âª
âª To love, to love, to love, to love âª
âª Again âª
âª Dear Lord âª
Patient to the swelling pain,
so forth may come true love and joy.
Happiness, alas, shall entwine your heart,
and all at once,
free your soul
from these chains of fear and suffering.
And say goodbye to all your tragic dreams
and soon forgotten sorrows.
