How's it going, Truman?
Not bad. I just won the State Lottery.
Good. Good.
Tyrone, what if I said I didn't want meatball today?
I'd ask for identification.
See you tomorrow, Truman.
You can count on it.
They're coming. Any minute.
Who?
They're going to stop me talking to you.
There's no one here.
Just listen. You remember when you were a little boy, you stood up in class and said you wanted to be an explorer like Magellan
How do you know about that?
And your teacher said, "You're too late, Truman. There's nothing left to explore."
Were you therehow do you know?
It doesn't matter. Everybody knows about it. They know everything you do. The point is, you got scared.
I don't understand.
You must listen. Everybody's pretending, Truman.
Now what?
Leak at the plant. They had to shut her down.
Is there any way around?
The whole area's being evacuated.
Well, thank you for your help.
You're welcome, Truman.
I'm looking for my wifeNurse Burbank. It's important.
I'm afraid that's impossibleshe's in preop.
Sure. Okay. Fine. Can you pass on a message?
I'll try.
Tell her, tell her...I had to go to Fiji. I'll call her when I get there.
When you get to Fiji?
You got it.
Fine. I'll tell her.
How are you, Mother?
Well, I made it through another night.
How's your hip?
Oh, just so.
You know surprises aren't good for me. You should really call before you come over, dear.
I've got something to tell you. You'd better sit down.
You look very pale, Truman. Are you taking your vitamin D's?
I spend half my life out in the sun, Mother, why would I need vitamin D?
I feel certain my condition runs in the family. Can't this wait, dear?
It doesn't sound insane, Truman. I swear I see him ten times a weekin a hundred faces. I almost hugged a perfect stranger in the salon last Thursday.
It was Dad, I swear, dressed like a homeless man. And you know what else was really strange? A businessman and a woman with a little dog appeared from nowhere and forced him onto a bus.
About time they started cleaning up the trash Downtown. We don't want to end up like the rest of the country.
They never found Dad's bodymaybe somehow
Darling
I'm telling you, if it wasn't him, it was his twin. Did Dad have a brother?
You know he was an only child, like you. I know how bad you feel about what happenedsailing into that storm. But I don't blame you, Truman. I never have.
We ought to be getting you back, Mother.
Hold on a minute, dear. Here's us at Mount Rushmore. You remember, Trumanwhen Dad was still with us that was quite a drive. You slept all the way there.
It looks so small.
Things always dowhen you look back.
...personally I think the unconquered south face is the only one worth scaling...of course it's a 20,000 foot sheer wall of ice but then when did that ever stop me before?...Naturally, I intend to make the ascent without the benefit of oxygen but also without crampons or even an ice pick...<i>risks?</i>... ...sure I'm aware of the riskswhy else do you think I would spend seven years as an adjuster in a life insurance company...?
Truman, you're gonna be late!
What's that?
It's a surprise.
Well, what do you think?
They're... perfect. Thank you.
Hi, honey. Look at this. It's a "Chef'sMate." Dicer, slicer and peeler in one. Never needs sharpening. Dishwasher safe.
Gee, that's great.
How did it go today?
A man tripped and fell on a chainsaw. We got three of his fingers back on.
I was hoping we could have a special evening.
I won't be late.
Did something happen today?
Where have you been?
I've been thinking
Oh, God.
I figure we could scrape together eight thousand.
Every time you and Marlon
We could bum around the world for a year on that.
And then what, Truman? We'd be back to where we were five years ago. You're talking like a teenager.
Maybe I feel like a teenager.
We're mortgaged to the eyeballs, Truman. There's the car payments. Are we just going to walk away from our financial obligations?
It'd be an adventure.
I thought we were going to try for a baby. Isn't that enough of an adventure?
That can wait. I want to get away. See some of the world. Explore.
This'll pass. Everybody thinks like this now and then. Come to bed.
I think I'm going to stay up for a while.
What're you doing down here?
Fixing the mower. I saw my father today.
I know.
How do you know?
Your mother called. You shouldn't upset her like that.
What did you want?
I made macaroni.
I'm not hungry.
Come on, Truman. Haven't you studied enough?
I still want to look over a couple of things.
I'll take you home, Angela. Why don't you leave those with us for a while?
Good night, Mother.
See you in a minute, sweetheart.
I have to talk with you. But not here. Let's go for a walk.
I'm sorry, I'm late.
What's the hurry?
Surgery. The elevator disaster downtown on the news last night. Cable snapped, a car dropped ten floors. Nonunion contractors. Monsters. We're starting with an amputation.
Arrah!
Oh, my God!
What do I do?
I don't know
