you're a nurse, aren't you?
Put some butter on itor ice?
I invited Marlon and Rita for a barbeque Sunday. I thought I'd make my potato salad. Remind me
I won't be here Sunday.
we need more charcoal.
Are you listening to a word I'm saying?
You're upset because you want to go to Fiji. Is that it?
Let's go now.
What?!
Where shall we go? Where shall we go? Spontaneity is what it's all about. Forget Fiji. We can't very well drive to Fiji, can we? What about Atlantic City?
You hate gambling.
That's right. I do, don't I?
So why do you want to go?
Because I never have. That's why you go places, isn't it?
Truman, I think I'm going to throw up.
Blocked at every turn. Beautifully synchronized, don't you agree?
You blaming me for the traffic?
Should I?
Truman, that was our house!
I've changed my mind again. What's New Orleans like this time of year? Mardi Gras. Or let's just see where the road takes us.
Let me out, Truman. You're not right in the head. You want to destroy yourself, you do it on your own!
I think I'd like a little company.
It's hard to go places, isn't it?
There's been an accident, Truman.
Uhuh. There's no accident. It's just more stalling.
Truman, I took the "hypocrite" oath!
I bet you did.
Truman, what about that sign?
I'm sure they're just exaggerating.
So what do we do for money when we get to New Orleans?
I've got my Seahaven Bankcard.
So we just eat into our savings, is that the idea? I'd better call your mother when we get there. She'll be worried sick I don't know how she's going to take this.
Let me get you some help, Truman. You're not well.
Why do you want to have a child with me? You can't stand me.
That's not true.
Why don't I make you some of this new Mococoa Drink? All natural. Cocoa beans from the upper slopes of Mount Nicaragua. No artificial sweeteners
What the hell are you talking about?!
I've tasted other cocoas. This is the best.
What the hell has that got to do with anything? Tell me what's happening?!
You're having a nervous breakdown, that's what's happening.
You're part of this, aren't you?!
Stop this now. I'll do it. I swear.
Do something...
Who were you talking to?!
You're the one talking to the walls!
No. You said, "Do something." Who were you talking to? Tell me!
Truman, stop it!
What are my plans now? Well, next I'm thinking of tackling the Yuba River in an authentic canoe from the Algonquin tribe. I'm talking about the north fork, a class five rapid only I'm not going <i>down</i> the Yuba, I'm going <i>up.</i> Do you honestly think for one minute I'd go back to some dreary office to rubber stamp meaningless documents...do you?
Truman, you're gonna be late!
I'm thinking of getting out, Marlon.
Yeah? Outta what?
Outta my job, outta Seahaven, off this island...<i>out!</i>
See here, this is us. All the way round here, Fiji. You can't get any further away before you start coming back. Y'know, there are still islands in Fiji where no human has ever set foot.
So when are you leaving?
It's not that simple. Takes money, planning. You can't just up and go. Oh, I'm going to do it, don't worry about that. I've just got to move slow. Pick my moment. Bonus time's just around the corner. Soon as I finish the...
Nursery?
<i>Spare room</i> I can start thinking about selling up...and I'll be gone. Up and away on that big steel bird. I'm going, don't you worry about that.
Truman, you know, I did think about moving away one time.
Yeah, what happened?
I figured, what's the point? I knew I'd just be taking my problems with me. Once the kids came along, it made me look at Seahaven with new eyes. I realized, what the hell could be better than this? I'm telling you. What you really need is someone to carry on the "Burbank" name.
You think so?
Trust me.
You really think it could've dropped off an airliner?
Sure. It's halogen. Shame it didn't hit you you could've sued. You coming for a drink?
I can't tonight.
Marlon
Truman, what are you doing here?
I've got to talk to you.
Sorry, I'm way behind.
I'm onto something, Marlon something big.
Are you okay? You look like shit.
I think I'm mixed up in something.
<i>Mixed up?</i> Mixed up in what?
There's no point in trying to explain it, but a lot of strange things have been happening elevators that don't go anywhere, people talking about me on the radio, you know what I mean?
No. Truman, if this is another one of your fantasies...
I think it's got something to do with my dad.
Your Dad?!
I think he's alive. I'll tell you about it later. I'm definitely being followed.
Who?
It's hard to tell. They look just like regular people.
How about them?
Could be. Beard looks phony. It's when I'm unpredictable. They can't stand that. That's why we've got to get out of here. Can you come with me?
I told you I can't.
I've got to show you something.
What're we doing here, Truman?
This is where it started.
What exactly?
Things. Things that doesn't fit. Maybe I'm being set up for something. You ever feel like that, Marlon? Like your whole life has been building to something?
No.
When you were hauling chickens for Kaiser Poultry, what was the furthest you ever went off the island?
I went all over but I never found a place like this. Look at that sunset, Truman. It's perfect.
Yeah...
That's the "Big Guy". Quite a paintbrush he's got.
Just between you and me, Marlon, I'm going away for a while.
Really?
Stay where you are!
Truman? It's me, Marlon. I need to talk to you.
I don't know what to think, Marlon. Maybe I'm going out of my mind, but I get the feeling that the world revolves around me somehow.
It's a lot of world for one man. You sure that's not wishful thinking, you wishing you'd made something more of yourself? Christ, Truman, who hasn't sat on the John and had an imaginary interview on "Seahaven Tonight"? Who hasn't wanted to be somebody?
This is different. Everybody seems to be in on it.
