TYLER
If آپ don't show...
CHARLES
I will be there, Tyler.
Part 23:
INT. THE SPENCE SCHOOL -- AUDITORIUM -- LATER
Amateur artwork and picked over catering.
Ally and Aidan stand before a COLLECTION OF FAMILIAR PORTRAITS (Charles reading the paper at breakfast, Les and Diane kissing, Tyler on the park bench).
Caroline sits alone. Staring. Diane and Tyler approach. Tyler carries two different cupcakes, offers them both to her.
TYLER
I got vanilla and chocolate...
Caroline doesn't take either. She just stares
DIANE
Sweetheart, one of the judges told
me your work was the best she’s
seen in ten years. I'm so proud of
you.
Caroline stands.
CAROLINE
I’m ready to go ہوم now.
INT. EXECUTIVE OFFICE -- DAY
Charles in a meeting with several well-dressed SUBORDINATES. The door to the office flies open. Tyler barges in. Janine trails him into the office. Charles looks up.
JANINE
Tyler? Tyler? آپ can't just...
TYLER
I need to talk to you.
CHARLES
I'll be with آپ in a minute.
Charles looks back to his subordinates. Tyler glares at him.
TYLER
آپ sound the same, آپ know. When
آپ talk about shareholders and
your family. آپ sound the same.
Everyone watching and listening to Tyler. Charles stands.
TYLER
We are the same to you. See I
always thought آپ just didn't
care. I thought آپ just loved this
مزید than us but آپ don't love
this... آپ don't love anything.
Charles begins towards Tyler.
CHARLES
Tyler, this isn't the time یا the
place to--
Charles takes Tyler's arm. Tyler brushes him off.
TYLER
آپ have a daughter, Charles. A
daughter who sincerely believes you
don't even fucking like her.
CHARLES
Don't be dramatic. We can talk
about this later--
TYLER
I wish I was being dramatic. I wish
I didn’t have to hear my elevenyear-
old sister try to work out why
her dad doesn't wanna spend time
with her... I do wish that.
CHARLES
She knows I love her.
TYLER
How? How does she know? Because you
know? She’s a little kid. She
doesn’t know anything. You’re
supposed to be دکھانا her, you're
supposed to be there for her, like
آپ were there for Michael...
Charles remains stone faced.
TYLER
He's gone. She's not.
Charles looks away.
TYLER
And I'm glad he's not here to see
what you’re doing to her.
Silence. Charles just standing there, affected. Tyler pulls a folded piece of paper out of his pocket. Gives it to him.
TYLER
She wanted آپ to have this.
Tyler exits as Charles unfolds the piece of paper, it's THE PORTRAIT of him reading the newspaper. He just looks at it. Sighs. His subordinates look at each other. No one speaks.
EXT. JERSEY ساحل -- AN EMPTY ساحل سمندر, بیچ -- SUNRISE
As the sun creeps over the horizon, the sky radiates a hypnotic blend of natural color. Silhouetted against it, Tyler sits alone making an entry in his tattered journal.
INT. ساحل سمندر, بیچ HOUSE -- EVENING
Caroline, Tyler, Les, Ally and Aidan sit around the باورچی خانے, باورچی خانہ میز, جدول playing an intense game of Monopoly. Ally rolls the dice. She lands on one of Caroline's hotel-laden properties. Ally hands all of her money over to Caroline.
EXT. FRONT PORCH -- LATER
A strong breeze blows into shore, moonlight casts a soft glow over the empty beach. Diane sits in a creaky rocking chair, a thoughtful gaze cast toward the Atlantic.
ALLY O/S
I think آپ might have a future
real estate mogul in the family.
Diane turns, smiles, a warm smile, at Ally exiting the house.
DIANE
She busted آپ out too?
ALLY
I never had a chance.
Ally takes a نشست beside her, watches the waves.
ALLY
Thanks for inviting me... I’m
having a really great time.
DIANE
You’re always welcome. And while
we’re on the subject, thank you.
ALLY
For what?
Diane looks through the window at Tyler laughing, smiling.
DIANE
I haven’t seen that smile for some
time now... I was beginning to
worry I’d never see it again.
ALLY
I don't how much it has to do with
me...
DIANE
Modesty is an excellent quality,
honey. Don’t lose that.
Ally hides an embarrassed smile.
ALLY
So do آپ do this every year?
DIANE
We try. Caroline loves it. Even if
Tyler یا Les can’t make it, at the
very least, we'll do a girls
weekend. She needs it, یا I need
it, I’m not really sure anymore...
ALLY
That's sweet.
DIANE
I figure I should enjoy her company
now before she hits her teens and
starts hating me for forbidding
college boys and tattoos...
Ally laughs.
DIANE
Can I ask آپ a question? How's
your relationship with your mother?
Do آپ still spend time together?
Because I really worry that once
Care gets older she’ll...
Diane trails off as she notices Ally’s expression. Diane realizing she’s made a dreadful assumption.
DIANE
Oh sweetheart...
ALLY
It’s OK. Really. It's fine.
Ally looks like she could cry. She's embarrassed.
ALLY
I’m sorry. God, you'd think I’d be
over it سے طرف کی now. It's been years.
DIANE
No. I don’t. آپ never get over it.
آپ accept it. آپ persevere. But
آپ shouldn’t ever get over it...
Diane's voice cracks. She struggles to maintain composure.
DIANE
If that hole in your دل ever
gets filled... How else are you
supposed to remember?
INT. AMTRACK -- PASSENGER CAR (MOVING) -- DAY
Tanned and rejuvenated, Ally, Tyler, and Aidan sit together on the train back to the city.
Ally and Tyler kiss. Aidan watches them. Nods to himself.
AIDAN
I want a girlfriend.
TYLER
...What?
AIDAN
Dinners out, movies, regular sex...
I like all those things.
ALLY
I think it’s sweet.
AIDAN
And I've had all the races. I'm
ready. What do آپ think, T? You
know me better than anyone... do
آپ think I could be monogamous?
Tyler erupts in hysterics. Aidan and Ally just stare at him.
TYLER
(deadpan)
No. I don’t. At all. No.
ALLY
(excited)
My friend Christie would be
perfect. She's like a female you.
TYLER
So she’s a whore?
ALLY
Is Aidan a whore?
Aidan and Tyler both shrug as if to say "yeah kind of"
ALLY
She's not a whore.
The train stops. New PASSENGERS board. Among them we find... Sergeant Craig's Partner, dressed in plain clothes, traveling with his FAMILY. They look for seats in the crowded car. Meanwhile Ally, Aidan and Tyler continue their conversation.
ALLY
...She works at this little coffee
دکان near campus. We could سوئنگ, جھول by
tomorrow night. I'll introduce you.
AIDAN
What do آپ say, T? آپ wanna meet
my new girlfriend?
TYLER
I’d love nothing مزید than to
witness this train wreck in person.
But I promised Caroline I’d take
her shopping for school.
Craig's Partner passes Ally and Tyler. He notices Ally immediately. He takes a long look at Tyler as he follows his wife and kids into the اگلے car.
TYLER
