it's getting cold.
i've never told you.  but you sound a little like dr. seuss when you're drunk.
mahogany. i'd say that cost at least a couple hundred. maybe three.
do you know how important this is? this is big time. i'm going to read it for you, doctor.
in recognition for his outstanding achievement in the field of child psychology, his dedication to his work, and his continuing efforts to improve the quality of life for countless children and their families, the city of philadelphia proudly bestows upon its son dr. malcolm crowe.  that's you.  the mayor's citation for professional excellence.
wow. they called you their son.
this is an important night for us. finally someone is recognizing the sacrifices you made. that you have put everything second, including me, for those families they're talking about.
they're also saying that my husband has a gift. not an ordinary gift that allows him to hit a ball over a fence. or a gift that lets him produce beautiful images on a canvas.  your gift teaches children how to be strong in situations where most adults would piss on themselves. yes, i believe what they wrote about you.
nothing. there wasn't supposed to be any crying at this celebration. just a lot of drinking and sex.
he's still in the house.
--my god.
i can't talk now.
i thought about you too.
it's edwardian. beautifully worked. entirely platinum with a mine cut diamond and an actual color burmese sapphire.  it's timeless.
why don't you two hold it?
do you feel longing?
when i touch this piece i feel a longing. i imagine the woman who owned this, loved a man deeply she couldn't be with.
i don't know.  but maybe.  a lot of the pieces in this store give me feelings. i think maybe when people own things and then they pass away -- a part of themselves gets printed on those things -- like fingerprints.
i need a wrestler with a masters.
it's a first edition.
you just walked out. you're probably on your way home. i'm leaving this message.  i just didn't get to say what i meant.  i know you're confused. it's just.  i'm not prepared to do this, sean. i don't want to be ashamed of that. i don't want to have to make excuses for that. and i wanted to tell you.  i bought your present wholesale from a friend. i didn't even pay tax on it. you don't need someone cheap like that. by the way, it's a non-refundable item, it's scratched on the bottom. are you smiling?.  i hope you're smiling. i'll see you at the store.
i miss you.
why, malcolm?
why did you leave me?
tell me.
goodnight, malcolm.
