Sabrina : It was
my favorite food in France. There's this little place in
Pegalé, I ate there at least twice a week. Ah, it's
really so much better if you eat with your hands. Do you
mind?
Linus : No, ow! Not since I made that contribution to
the burn unit. It's good, very good. It's interesting,
have to try it with soup sometime.
Sabrina : No one ever stops... The whole place. And
it's like everything is asleep... and... I used to walk
everywhere in Paris. I used to walk from Montmartre down
into the center of the town. Along the Seine there is a
4-mile wall that goes from Isle Saint Germain to the
Pontde Bercy. Takes you past all the bridges of Paris,
23 of them. Then you find one you love and you go there
everyday with your coffee and your journal, and you
listen to the river.
Linus : What does it tell you?
Sabrina : That's between
me and the river.
Linus : You know it's funny listening to you talk.
Makes me... Makes me wonder if I should...
Sabrina : What?
Linus : I don't know, something is different. I feel
different. At work I don't... I love the action, but,
sometimes I wonder, lately especially, been wondering
what it would be like, to spend some time in a place
that I love like that, not... not just a few days, but
for a real change. Actually, I think I've been thinking
about it for a long time, I just, um, I just didn't know
it until, till you, uh...
Sabrina : What exactly are you saying?
Linus : I'm not sure. I do what my dad did. He... he
did what his dad did. My whole life... I never chose.
The past gets deeper, more familiar, but, uh...
Sabrina : You're not really thinking about Paris?
Linus : No. No, you're probably right. How could I be?
Am I a
lost cause
then?
Sabrina : I don't like to think of anyone as a lost
cause. What time is it?
Linus : 9:45.
Sabrina : I forgot I told the nurse to tell David I'd
look in on
him.
Linus : He's probably sleeping. We can go.
Sabrina : No, you're right I can...
Linus : No, come on.
Let's walk a little. Was there anything
you didn't like about Paris?
Sabrina : How expensive everything is.
Linus : Well, I'd have to learn how to say "I am just
looking".
Sabrina : (French.)
Linus : How do you say "This is what I want"?
Sabrina : (French)
Linus : How do you say "I'm looking at what I want."?
Sabrina : I don't remember. |
