Operatic Contralto Aria
HE'S DEAD.
HE'S DEAD.
I DON'T BELIEVE IT !
NO PULSE.
THERE'S NO PULSE !
NO PULSE ! NO--
YOU--
HE'S GOT NO PULSE.
A LITTLE AFTER MIDNIGHT,
THE OLD CARETAKER WAS AWAKENED
BY A TERRIBLE SOUND;
WHIMPERING, PITIFULLY.
THE SOUND CAME AGAIN,
FAINTLY.
ONLY THIS TIME
HE WAS SURE IT WAS HUMAN.
THE GRAVEYARD WAS SILENT...
EXCEPT FOR THE STEADY PADDING
OF HIS FEET...
AS HE WEN AROUND THE TOMBSTONES.
"HELLO ? IS SOMEONE THERE ?
SOMEONE ?"
BUT THERE WAS NOTHING.
NO ONE.
AS HE STOOD THERE,
SCRATCHING HIS HEAD,
FEELING SOMETHING
OF A DAMN FOOL,
HE HAPPENED TO LOOK DOWN.
AND THERE AT HIS FEET,
SOMEONE HAD BEEN BURIED...
THAT VERY AFTERNOON.
THE GRAVE HAD BEEN DISTURBED.
THE SOIL WAS UPSET,
AND THE CROSS LAY ON ITS SIDE.
"RESPECT," HE MUTTERED,
SURE NOW THAT HE WAS THE
BUTT OF A PRACTICAL JOKE.
SO HE SMOOTHED OUT THE SOIL...
AND SET THE CROSS BACK UPRIGH AT THE HEAD OF THE GRAVE,
AND THEN HE WENT BACK
TO HIS BED.
BUT OUTSIDE,
IN THE GRAVEYARD,
IN THE WIND,
THERE WAS STILL A FAINT WISP
OF SOUND,
ALMOST LIKE A SONG:
"ALIVE. STILL ALIVE !"
AAAH !
"ALIVE."
GOD.
MARVELOUS STORY.
MARVELOUS.
I THINK THA WAS THE WORST SHOCKER
WE'VE HAD IN YEARS.
DAMN NEAR SCARED THE PANTS
OFF ME, I'LL TELL YOU.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT YOU,
BUT I COULD DO
WITH ANOTHER BRANDY.

MAYBE A GOOD CIGAR.
I'VE GOT TO
GO TO BED.

SLEEPING WELL LATELY.

SURE, THERE IS !
WE'VE SPOKEN TO HER.

SOMEONE LIVED HERE.
SOMEONE FANTASTIC.
WHAT ?
YOU'VE LIVED IN THIS TOWN
ALL YOUR LIFE,
AND YOU DON'T KNOW ?
WHAT ?
HE KNOWS,

SEEING SOME UNUSUAL...
AND INTERESTING THINGS
BEFORE WE'RE THROUGH,
RICKY !
NO.

YOU'RE GONNA BE HAVING
THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.

YOU WON'T KNOW UP
FROM DOWN. AND, RICKY,

I LOVED IT. NOW I'LL TELL YOU

THAT'S HIM !
GREGORY BATE.
ARE YOU SURE,
MR. HAWTHORNE ?
POSITIVE.
THE EVIDENCE,
TAKEN AS A WHOLE,
LEADS ME TO ONLY ONE
POSSIBLE CONCLUSION.
THAT EDWARD CHARLES WANDERLEY,
HIS MIND IN A STATE
OF CONFUSION,
TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
I DON'T BELIEVE THIS !
GET THEM OUT OF THAT HOUSE
TODAY. DO YOU HEAR ME ?
I'M SURE EVERYBODY
HAS BY NOW.
DON'T SMART-ASS ME.
JUST GET 'EM OUTTA THERE.
SEARS JAMES,
I DON'T SUPPOSE
THERE'S ANY MAN ALIVE...
WHO EVER GOT IN
THE LAST WORD WITH YOU.
I SHOULD HOPE
TO HELL NOT !
MR. HAWTHORNE.
MEET ME AT THE VILLAGE
PUMP IN HALF AN HOUR.
IT'S JUST LIKE MR. HAWTHORNE
SAID, WALT. BATE IS CRAZY.
"EXTREMELY UNSTABLE,"
IT SAYS HERE.
HE AND THE BOY ESCAPED
FROM A STATE MENTAL HOSPITAL
ABOUT A MONTH AGO.
AND, WALT...
HE WAS A MEMBER OF SOME KIND
OF OCCULT ORDER...
BACK IN CALIFORNIA.
GEEZ, WHAT A PAIR !
MM, WALT !
WHAT ABOUT THIS OCCUL BUSINESS ?
YOU THINK THERE'S
ANYTHING TO IT ?
I AIN'T NO FREUD.
DAMN FUNNY WORLD.
GETTIN' TO BE
A DAMN FUNNY WORLD.
STRANGEST THINGS
POP INTO MY HEAD.
I WAS JUST THINKING
THAT SIDEWALKS
HAVE CHANGED THE WORLD.
-ONE OF MY EARLIES RECOLLECTIONS IS--

CALL ME RICKY. EVERYBODY DOES.
GETTING BACK TO SIDEWALKS,
YOUR FATHER AND I
USED TO--
MR. HAWTHORNE.
YOU DIDN'T ASK ME HERE
TO TALK ABOUT SIDEWALKS,
DID YOU ?
NO. NO.
SEARS WOULD BRAIN ME
FOR SAYING THIS,
BUT I THINK
WE'RE IN DANGER.
ALL OF US: MILBURN,
THE CHOWDER SOCIETY.
ESPECIALLY
THE CHOWDER SOCIETY.
WHO IS THIS ?
I'M NEVER GONNA FIND NOTHIN'.
ONLY A PAIR OF LOONIES.
COCKAMAMIE !
SOMEONE'S IDEA OF A JOKE.
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD,
I SHALL NOT WANT.
HE MAKETH ME TO LIE DOWN
IN GREEN PASTURES.
HE RESTORETH--
HOW DID YOU
GET IN HERE ?
SUCH A TRAGEDY.
I'M SO VERY SORRY.
WHAT KIND OF WELCOME

SOMEONE'S DIED HERE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT ?
HOW DO YOU KNOW MY NAME ?
TO LOOK.
TO TOUCH.
WHO ARE YOU ?
MY NAME IS GREGORY BATE,
ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN KNOWN
BY OTHER NAMES IN OTHER PLACES.
GET OUT !
ARE YOU AFRAID, DON ?
WILL YOU BE AFRAID WHEN
YOU WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY
OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH ?
YOU'RE CRAZY.
GREAT TREATS ARE IN STORE
FOR YOU AND YOUR OLD FRIENDS.
IMAGINE.
JUST IMAGINE.
- GET THE HELL OUT !
- WE'RE FULL OF SURPRISES,
AREN'T WE, FENNY ?
GOOD BOY.
WE DO HAVE SOMETHING SPECIAL
FOR DON, DON'T WE ?
IT'S A LITTLE PRESEN FROM OUR BENEFACTOR.
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT ?
EVERY WINTER.
ICE. THE POWER LINES.
YOU SHOULD
SEE YOURSELVES.
YOU LOOK LIKE
THREE OWLS.
LEAVE THE CANDLES, MILLY.
YOU'RE GIVING
EACH OTHER THE WILLIES
WITH THESE MEETINGS.
- HE'S FOUND A PICTURE OF HER.
- WHO ?
- DON.
- BUT THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
I THOUGHT WE--
I'M AFRAID EDWARD KEPT ONE.
- WHAT HAVE YOU TOLD HIM ?
- NOTHING.
I WANTED TO.
I LIKE THE BOY.
- THE CIRCLE
HAS HELD THIS LONG.
- MAYBE HE CAN HELP US.
- CHANGE IS CHANGE
FOR THE WORSE !
- SPOKEN LIKE A TRUE LAWYER.
HUH !
WE CAN FEEL THINGS
WATCHING US
AND FOLLOWING US,
AND WE DISMISS THEM
AS FANTASIES.
WE HAVE NIGHTMARES
AND TRY TO FORGET THEM.
NOW THAT EDWARD'S GONE,
I FEAR--
I VERY MUCH FEAR...
THAT MORE OF US
ARE GOING TO DIE.
I THINK HE'S RIGHT.
- I TOLD HIM
YOU WEREN'T TO BE DISTURBED.
- THAT'LL BE ALL, MILLY.
- MILLY.
- WELL, THEN, I'LL JUS LEAVE YOU GENTLEMEN...
TO YOUR PRIVATE BUSINESS.
WELL, YOUNG MAN,
DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING
TO SAY TO US ?
I WANT TO BUY MY WAY
INTO THE CHOWDER SOCIETY.
BUY ?
WHAT DID YOU SAY ?
WITH A STORY.
ISN'T THAT THE PRICE
OF ADMISSION ?
I'M SORRY, MR. HAWTHORNE.
RICKY.
BUT IT'S WORSE THAN YOU KNOW.
AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE
HAVE ALREADY DIED.
MY BROTHER WAS THE FIRST.
I THINK THIS IS
A GHOST STORY.
I HAD LANDED A...
YEAR'S TEACHING JOB...
AT A SMALL LIBERAL ARTS
COLLEGE JUST NORTH
OF ORLANDO, FLORIDA.
PRETTY UNROMANTIC STUFF,
REALLY. JUST A COUPLE
OF SECTIONS...
OF AN UNDERGRADUATE COURSE
IN AMERICAN LITERATURE.
WAIT UP !
I WAS SEEING-- I WAS SORT OF
SEEING THIS OTHER INSTRUCTOR,
A GIRL NAMED HELEN KAYON.
MR. WANDERLEY.

-THE DEAN'S NEW SECRETARY.
JUST STARTED TODAY.
- HOW'D SHE KNOW WHO I WAS ?
- IT MUST BE THOSE BLUE EYES
OF YOURS.
RIGHT.
- CALL ME TONIGHT.

"AND THE FIRST THING
SHE DOES IS SEDUCE HIM.
"THE FIRST THING HE DOES
IS TO BE SEDUCED.
"AND THE SECOND THING
THEY DO...
"IS HUG THEIR SIN
IN SECRET...
"AND GLOAT OVER IT.
AND TRY TO UNDERSTAND."
WHICH IS THE MYTH
OF NEW ENGLAND.
BETWEEN NOW
AND THE NEXT TIME WE MEET,
I'D LIKE YOU TO THINK ABOU WHAT D.H. LAWRENCE MEAN WHEN HE WROTE THAT.
DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION,
MR. SOLT ?
YEAH, THE PAR ABOUT SEDUCTION.

ALMA. ALMA MOBLEY.

EXEMPLARY WORK, DONALD.
THANK YOU.

IF YOU WANT TO MAKE LOVE

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
I'M FRIGHTENED

WHERE YOU GREW UP.
AH, MILBURN ?
WELL, IT'S JUST A GRAVE
OF A TOWN IN NEW ENGLAND.

BUT YOUR FATHER,
HE'S STILL ALIVE.
AH, MY FATHER AND I DON' GET ALONG ALL THAT WELL.
SURELY THIS IS DIFFERENT.
THIS IS OUR WEDDING.
WHAT'S YOUR BROTHER LIKE ?
HE'S MORE LIKE MY FATHER,
I GUESS.
SUCCESSFUL. AMBITIOUS.
MORE OF A HUNTER.
YOU DON'T REALLY
WANT TO GET MARRIED
IN MILBURN, DO YOU ?
I WANT TO GET MARRIED
IN THE TOWN WHERE YOU

THE SAME CHURCH.
I WANT TO WALK

ALMA, LISTEN--
CAN I HELP YOU,
MR. WANDERLEY ?
WHERE IS SHE ?
MISS MOBLEY DID NOT TURN UP
FOR WORK THIS MORNING,
NOR DID SHE PHONE...
TO SAY THA SHE WOULD BE ABSENT.
THE DEAN IS MOST UPSET.
YOU'RE LAX. YOU'RE LAZY.
YOU'RE SLIPSHOD.
YOU DISAPPEAR FOR DAYS
ON END WITHOUT SAYING
A WORD TO ANYONE.
DISAPPOINTED ?
I THOUGHT YOU
MADE A GOOD START.
ALMA ?
WAIT. THAT'S
THE KIDS THERE ?
RIGHT.
WHO IS IT ?
YOUR BROTHER ON 32.
OKAY.
HI, DONNIE.
AH, DAVID.
I BEEN THINKIN' ABOUT YOU.
I'M GLAD YOU CALLED.
UH, DAVE,
I GOTTA TALK TO YOU.
YEAH. I GOTTA TALK TO YOU.
I GOT SOME AMAZING NEWS.
WHAT ? ROBERT REDFORD
BOUGHT YOUR LIFE STORY ?
NO, I'M SERIOUS.
UM, I JUST DON'T KNOW
HOW TO TELL YOU.
ALL RIGHT. WELL,
TRY STARTING AT THE TOP.
OKAY. UM,
ABOUT A MONTH AGO,
I WAS UP ON COLUMBUS AVENUE
ON BUSINESS,
AND, UH, SOMEBODY
CALLED OUT YOUR NAME.
UH-HUH.
I TURNED AROUND,
AND THERE'S THIS
GREAT-LOOKING GIRL.
SHE THINKS I'M YOU, RIGHT ?
WELL, I HOPE YOU

YES. I GOT AROUND
TO TELLIN' HER.
WHAT'S HER NAME, DAVE ?
DONNIE.
UH, SHE IS NOT THE PERSON
THAT YOU THINK SHE IS.
SHIT.
SHE'S WORRIED YOU HAVE
THE WRONG IDEA ABOUT HER.
EVERYTHING ABOUT HER
IS WRONG.
GET AWAY FROM HER, DAVE.
SHE'S DANGEROUS.
I CAN UNDERSTAND
YOU BEING UPSET.
IF ALMA HAD WALKED OU ON ME TO MARRY YOU,
I'D SURE AS HELL RESENT YOU.
I DON'T RESENT ANYTHING.
OH, COME OFF IT.
IF YOU CAN'T ADMIT--
SHUT THE HELL UP
AND LISTEN TO ME, DAVE.
LOOK AT HER.
ALL RIGHT ?
SHE IS NOT REAL.
AND YOU KNOW, LIKE,
WHEN YOU TOUCH HER ?
SHE'S COLD.
I DON'T THINK WE'RE TALKIN'
ABOUT THE SAME WOMAN.
WHEN THEY BROKE DOWN THE DOOR
TO DAVID'S APARTMENT,
NO ONE WAS THERE.
SHE HAD SIMPLY VANISHED.
THERE HAD NEVER BEEN
AN ALMA MOBLEY.
I CAN VOUCH FOR THEIR MERIT.
HAVANA.
WHAT ABOUT MY STORY ?
WELL, THAT WAS QUITE A TALE,
YOUNG MAN.
IT HAPPENED.
JUST THE WAY I TOLD YOU.
WHY IS SHE HERE ?
SHE MUST HAVE HEARD YOU.
I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED.
I'M SCARED TOO.
I'M LUCKY TO HAVE ESCAPED
WHATEVER SENT DAVID
OUT THAT WINDOW.
BUT I THINK...
IF WE HELP EACH OTHER--
SOUNDS LIKE KNUTE ROCKNE
BEFORE A BIG GAME,
DOESN'T HE, RICKY ?
THAT'S ALMA MOBLEY.
I DON'T BELIEVE YOU.
I KNEW THIS
WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
- COINCIDENCE.

NEITHER DO I.
NO.
I'M AN OLD MAN
AND OFTEN I'M RUDE.
WE'LL ALL BE VERY GRATEFUL
FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US.
I KNEW IT.
I JUST KNEW IT !
THE LAST TIME I SAW ALMA,
SHE WAS WEARING THIS.
WHERE'D YOU GET IT ?

MR. SEARS JAMES.
OH, DEAR GOD,

CALL THE POLICE.

WE'D NEVER TALK ABOUT IT AGAIN.
- NOT EVEN WITH EACH OTHER.
WE TOLD OURSELVES
IT WAS A TRICK OF THE LIGHT.
WE PUT IT BEHIND US.
BACK TO WORK, SCHOOL.
GOT ON WITH THE RES OF OUR LIVES.
WASN'T SHE MISSED ?
THE TOWN ASSUMED SHE'D GO TIRED OF IT AND MOVED ON.
THERE WAS A BIT OF TALK,
BUT IT DIED DOWN.
YOU COULD ALMOST FEEL
THE SIGH OF RELIEF
THAT SHE HAD GONE.
YOU MEAN NOBODY EVER
SHOWED UP ASKIN' ABOUT HER ?
IT WAS AS IF SHE
HAD NEVER BEEN HERE.
AS IF IT HAD
NEVER HAPPENED.
AS IF WE HAD DREAMED
THE WHOLE AFFAIR.
AH, WHAT ABOUT THE CAR ?
STILL AT THE BOTTOM
OF THE DEDHAM POND.
AND YOU STAYED HERE ?
YOU NEVER LEFT.
WE COULDN'T.
NOT FOR LONG, ANYWAY.
WHAT ELSE COULD WE HAVE DONE ?
RUINED FOUR MORE LIVES ?
COULD HAVE GONE TO THE POLICE
AND TAKEN OUR CHANCES.
INSTEAD, WE DID THIS...
OBSCENE THING.
YOU THINK IT'S EVA ?
- AND THAT SOMEHOW OR OTHER
SHE'S COME BACK TO US, HUH ?
- YEAH.
SO DO I.
I THINK MAYBE BY GROWIN' OLD,
MAYBE THE FORCES, OR WHATEVER
THE HELL YOU WANT TO CALL THEM,
HAVE INCREASED.
AND THESE STORIES
AND THESE NIGHTMARES--
- MAYBE THE GUILT--
- IS THAT WHAT KILLED EDWARD ?
AND MY BROTHER.
AND DR. JAFFREY.
I THINK GREGORY BATE
AND THE BOY...
ARE HELPIN' HER.
I WANT TO GO TO HER HOUSE.
I HOPE YOU'LL COME WITH ME.
I WILL.
AND WHERE DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE GOING ?
OUT.
AH. YOU'LL DO
NO SUCH THING.
YOU'LL MARCH RIGHT BACK
UPSTAIRS BEFORE YOU
CATCH PNEUMONIA.
- BUT I HAVE TO GO OUT.
- WHERE ?
YOU INFURIATE ME
WITH YOUR SECRETS.
I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO YOU
FOR 32 YEARS,
AND I'M NO CLOSER TO YOU
THAN THE DAY WE WERE MARRIED.
I'LL TELL YOU IN THE SPRING.
I'M GOING TO TAKE YOU
TO THE SOUTH OF FRANCE,
TO ANTIBES, SAINT-TROPEZ,
ANYWHERE YOU WANT TO GO.
AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU
THE STORY OF MY LIFE.
I NEVER THOUGH I'D SET FOO IN THIS HOUSE AGAIN.
IF ONLY WE'D BEEN 30
INSTEAD OF 20.
OH, WHAT FOOLS
WE WERE.
I DON'T THINK
ANYBODY'S HERE.
SHE'S HERE.
I'M SURE OF IT.
YOU WANT TO TRY
UPSTAIRS ?
NOTHING WILL COME OF THIS.
DO YOU WANT TO STAY
DOWNSTAIRS, MR. JAMES ?
NOT ON YOUR LIFE.
IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE, BU ALL THIS WAS SO BEAUTIFUL THEN.
THE ROOMS DOWNSTAIRS AND HER
ROOM UP HERE, JUST BEAUTIFUL.
SO WAS ALMA'S.
OHH !
AAAH.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S ENOUGH.
WE'LL ALL GO.
HE CAN'T BE MOVED.
PLEASE, SEARS.
IF WE STAY TOGETHER--
RICKY, DON'T ARGUE WITH ME !
I'M TOO OLD, TOO TIRED
AND TOO FRIGHTENED.
SEARS !
I'LL BE BACK WITH HELP
AS SOON AS I CAN.
I COULD NEVER MAKE HIM
DO ANYTHING HE DIDN' WANT TO DO.
- YOU OKAY ?
- YEAH.
ALL CLEAR SO FAR.
CAN YOU HEAR ME ?
YEAH.
RICKY ?
RICKY ?
FIND ANYTHING ?
JUST AN EMPTY ROOM.
YOU OKAY ?
YEAH.
I WAS JUST THINKING.
WHAT, ABOU THE SIDEWALKS AGAIN ?
NO, YOU SCAMP.
IT'S SEARS.
I'M WORRIED ABOUT HIM.
A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK I TAKE
TOO MUCH GUFF FROM HIM,
BUT I DON'T MIND THAT.
IT'S SORT OF PERMANEN JUNIOR PARTNERSHIP STUFF,
YOU KNOW ?
WHAT CAN I DO ? I'VE BEEN
MARRIED TO THE GUY AS SURE
AS I'VE BEEN MARRIED TO STELLA.
HE'LL BE OKAY.
I WONDER.
DANCE WITH ME,
YOU LITTLE TOAD.
MAYBE HE JUST GOT STUCK
IN THE SNOW.
HE'D HAVE COME BACK
IF HE WAS ALL RIGHT.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
WE'LL END IT, RICKY.
WE'LL LAY HER TO REST.
- AN OLD MAN AND A PUP, HUH ?
- WE ARE THE CHOWDER SOCIETY
NOW.
SEARS WAS RIGHT.
YOU SOUND LIKE KNUTE ROCKNE.
HERE.
I HAVE TO GET YOU
TO A DOCTOR.
BE RIGHT BACK.
- THANK GOODNESS
YOU CAME ALONG.
- LUCKY FOR BOTH OF US, RICKY.
DON'T STRUGGLE,
OR I'LL KILL YOU RIGHT NOW !
YOU HEAR ME ?
- YOU'LL BE QUIET ?
- YEAH.
- THAT'S A GOOD LITTLE RABBIT.
- WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS ?
WOULD YOU LIKE TO
LIVE FOREVER, RICKY ?
THAT'S WHAT SHE PROMISED US.
IMAGINE THE PEACE
OF LYING DOWN WITH YOUR HANDS
ACROSS YOUR CHEST.
YOU GO TO HELL.
IMAGINE HER WAITING FOR YOU
ALL THESE YEARS.
IMAGINE HER SLEEPING
UNDER ICE AND SNOW.
- WAITING.
- THE POND.
WOULDN'T YOU LIKE
TO BE IMMORTAL,
EVEN IF YOU MUST DIE FIRST ?
GOOD LORD,
SHE'S IN THE POND.
ALIVE.
STILL ALIVE.
SH-SHE TRICKED YOU !
YOU WON'T LIVE FOREVER.
OH, I'LL LIVE LONGER
THAN YOU.
OH, NO, YOU WON'T !
OH.
YOU'RE OUTTA YOUR SKULL.
YOU KNOW THAT, MR. HAWTHORNE ?
WE'VE GOT TO HURRY.
WE'VE GOT TO HELP
THE BOY.
AREN'T YOU EVEN
GOING TO SAY HELLO ?
OH, DON,
YOU DISAPPOINT ME.
I THOUGHT YOU'D
BE DYING TO SEE ME.
Y-YOU'RE NOT HERE.
YOU'RE NOT HERE.
TALK SENSE, DON.
YOU CAN SEE ME, CAN'T YOU ?
YOU CAN HEAR ME.
- I'M HERE.
- GET AWAY FROM ME !
FASTER !
POOR DON.
HAVEN'T YOU BEEN
LONGING FOR ME ?
WAITING FOR ME ?
- I'VE COME FOR YOU.
- YOU'RE DEAD !
AND YOU WILL BE TOO.
DEAD AND WET AND COLD.
DON'T YOU WAN TO MAKE LOVE TO ME ?
DON'T YOU WANT TO KNOW
WHAT YOU'VE TOUCHED ?
I WILL TAKE YOU PLACES
WHERE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN.
I WILL SHOW YOU THINGS
THAT YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN.
NO.
AND I WILL SEE THE LIFE
RUN OUT OF YOU.
