October 13.

  In the following days, he was hooked on little Gwyh, who extended her visit for awelve days, enough time to drive Billy crazy. The girl was dangerous, insatiable, spoiled, temperamental, and permissive. And even more, her logical traits demanded fidelity... It was the most ironient in Billy's life, a woman who went to bed knowing you had a girlfriend waiting for you, asks you for fidelity.

  Her departure returned everything to normal!

  The following days of shootiered a Sumerian calm. He adapted to Julie, with her fondness for women. Now, he uood many things. Julie expihat she admired his way of ag; however, she expihat she wouldn't miing involved with a man, an older man, or when she felt like settling into something serious.

  Julie only had eyes for Billy like a child, which was to be expected given their five-year age difference, and of course, because she now had a tentative retionship with one of her acquaintances. If there was one word to describe Julie, it was detat—an indepe woman, who liked to follow her rhythm, hated being forced to do things, and was extremely intelligent.

  EXT. RESTAURANT - NIGHT

  They are docked on a rge ship, the Johann Strauss, which serves as a restaurant. They are seated at a quiet outdoor table on the bow of the ship, with some passengers, and visitors, all of them extras, the white wood, some worn parts. The romantic atmosphere began to embellish. Throughout the movie, there were es; love resent. That's what the movie was based on—the many es they had, how they started to fit together, how the bond they created began tthen. The strength of the movie lies in that.

  -And this older friend of mine said that, at the birth of his child, it was a home birth, and he was there helping and all, in that deep moment of birth, the only thing he could think of was death. That he was seeing something experience life for the first time, struggling to breathe and knowing that someday it would die. He couldn't get it out of his head, - said Jesse.

  -I think that's why life is so iing: because it's going to end, - said e.

  -I know. Death raises the stakes for being alive, - said Jesse.

  -Even though the same thing happens to us tonight. If we kneere going to see each other week, it wouldn't be the same energy, right? - said e.

  -Yes, I know, - said Jessi.

  -Do you think we'll see each other the day after tomorrow m? - said e.

  -I don't know. What do you think? - said Jesse, something on, he had been following a timeline for a long time, evasions. Jessi was an evader; he always took the less correct rounds and usually avoided unfortable questions with alternative approaches.

  Both were engrossed in their roles, adopting them, in the way they reted.

  -Hmm. I'm thinking about how... I don't know if I'll be ba Europe soon. Are you ing to the US for any reason? - said Jesse.

  Julie held her head downcast; she was in love with Jesse, very mu love, and the way Jessi looked at her made it obvious that he was in love with her too.

  -Oh, God, I don't want to get into the practical side of hoould see each ain. Flyer. Let's be rational adults about it, - said e.

  -Rational is okay, - said Jesse.

  -We should try something different. (a beat a deep pause) It's not so bad if tonight is our only night. Maybe that makes it special, - said e, reposing her spirits.

  -Yes, they usually exge numbers and call each other once, maybe write once or twice... - said Jesse.

  -And then the slow fade, - said e, pleting the words as she was getting closer.

  -I hate that, - said Jesse.

  -There was a famous writer—I don't remember who—who said that the ideal retionship was two years intense, with breakups, new beginnings, friends for life, something like that. It's like you know your retionship has to end in two years; there's no room fhts or wasting time. There could be more love and appreciation for each other. It's like if everyone you knew was going to die at midnight, you'd be a much more passionate person. I mean, everyone is going to die, but sino one knows when there's all the time in the world to be idiots with each other, - said e, grabbing Billy's hands.

  -Why do we thiionships are supposed to st forever and that anything else is a failure? But I hate the idea that we're just these ships passing in the night. I think the only time I get depressed is when I feel like life is just this series of momentary es. I mean, of all the people you've met, how many of them are still in your life in some way? What happeo all the people you grew up with? Miss Van Sickle, my first-grade bus driver, what's she doing? What kind of life is she having? - said Jesse.

  A wandering violinist ehe room,

  -But for some people, there are no real goodbyes. I think if you have a signifit experieh another person, genuine unication, somehow, that person will be with you forever. We're all part of each other in ways we'll never know, - said e.

  -So is it a deal? Will we die in the m? - said Jesse. His furrowed eyebrows tradicted everything he had just said.

  -I think it's the only way. I don't want to cheapen what makes our time together special. If we push for something more, it's like we're trying to odify ourselves or something, - said e.

  -Okay, no pretenses. No projes. Let's make the rest of tonight great, - said Jesse. Revoking a mood he hadn't had in a while.

  -And it will be ours forever, - said e.

  -We should do some kind of special handshake or something, - said Jesse.

  -Okay, - whispered e.

  They do some sort of handshake and then look at the violinist.

  -Cut, - said Richard.

  ...

  He ruffled his hair, - We should do aake, there were some improvisations, we'll record the script for you to memorize, as always, ten minutes, and back to work, - said Richard, chasing his special work, his excitement was in the work and the passion he found in it.

  -Give us fifteen, and I'll grab a coffee, - said, Billy.

  Richard paused. - Iy minutes, we'll start with the st se, - said Richard, handing the script to Julie and Billy, the improvisation now had to be adapted to the script and another quick take.

  -Are we going to the bar? - Julie asked.

  -Sure. Until 2, I 't stay ter, - said Billy.

  -Great! You know, between you and me, I'll keep quiet about whatever happens; the twins will go, and Yelena says she wants a piece of you, - said Julie.

  -No more women, Julie. I have enough with two; women are crazy, - said Billy, seeing the implied madness in Gwyh at the time of her farewell.
