This film contains some strong language. | 0:00:02 | 0:00:04 | |
WOMAN: So, Betsy, why am I doing this? | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
NEW WOMAN: You're tired, stressed, | 0:01:31 | 0:01:32 | |
and they're about to carry your overworked butt | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
out of the office on a stretcher | 0:01:34 | 0:01:35 | |
if you don't get some rest. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:37 | |
Besides, Duncan can take care of things. | 0:01:37 | 0:01:38 | |
Duncan? Are you kidding me? | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
Well, he is your partner, | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
and, believe it or not, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
he is just as worried about you as I am. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:45 | |
Go. This is a vacation. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
You're late already. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:48 | |
I'm not letting you put it off this time. OK? | 0:01:48 | 0:01:51 | |
OK. I'm-I'm not gonna put it off, | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
but I am taking those plans | 0:01:53 | 0:01:55 | |
because they're not good enough. | 0:01:55 | 0:01:56 | |
Now, how do you know that this spa | 0:01:56 | 0:01:57 | |
is any good, anyway? | 0:01:57 | 0:01:59 | |
Fine. I'm fine. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
Don't forget to exercise. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
Exercise? Exercise is not restful. | 0:02:04 | 0:02:06 | |
Are you sure you know where you're going? | 0:02:06 | 0:02:07 | |
Yes, I know where I'm going. | 0:02:07 | 0:02:08 | |
I'm very good with directions. | 0:02:08 | 0:02:11 | |
WOMAN: Betsy? I'm completely lost. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:13 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:02:13 | 0:02:16 | |
I thought I was on 128, | 0:02:16 | 0:02:17 | |
but I'm in the middle of the dark woods, | 0:02:17 | 0:02:19 | |
and, er, I don't like it. | 0:02:19 | 0:02:21 | |
Yeah. Hang-hang on a second. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:26 | |
OK. Wait. I've got... I've got the map. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
I've got the map in front of me, and you know what? | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
There's-there's- no Bear Mountain. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:33 | |
There's no sign. | 0:02:33 | 0:02:34 | |
I've been looking for the sign. | 0:02:34 | 0:02:36 | |
Yeah, I did. I-I-I'm... | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
Oh, wow. Wait. There's the sign. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
I got it. All right. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:42 | |
I'll see you in a week. | 0:02:42 | 0:02:44 | |
OK. Thanks. Bye. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
STARTS CAR | 0:02:53 | 0:02:54 | |
OK. Your room's in the Timber Lodge, | 0:02:59 | 0:03:02 | |
which is straight out there to the left. | 0:03:02 | 0:03:03 | |
And in the main lodge, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:05 | |
we have a full weight room, | 0:03:05 | 0:03:06 | |
life cycles, step machines, | 0:03:06 | 0:03:08 | |
spa, yoga, aerobics, cycling workouts... | 0:03:08 | 0:03:12 | |
I was really hoping for, like, a quick fix. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:15 | |
Uh... | 0:03:15 | 0:03:16 | |
do you have anything that involves just lying down? | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
Massage? | 0:03:18 | 0:03:20 | |
Yeah. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:22 | |
Um, I'll have one a day, and not too early. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
How is 10.00am? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:27 | |
11:00? Hmm. | 0:03:27 | 0:03:29 | |
Thank you. Good night. Good night. | 0:03:29 | 0:03:31 | |
WOMAN: Ohh. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:35 | |
Ohh, Virgil. Ohh. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:39 | |
God. Ohh... no, no, no, harder. | 0:03:39 | 0:03:42 | |
Just right...ohh. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
Just...no. Don't stop. | 0:03:45 | 0:03:46 | |
Just a little more... just a little-ohh. Ohh. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:48 | |
MAN: Come on. Time's up. No, no, no, no. Ohh. | 0:03:48 | 0:03:51 | |
WOMAN SIGHS | 0:03:51 | 0:03:54 | |
Virgil, you are gonna have to come live with me. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:56 | |
No. What would your husband say? | 0:03:56 | 0:03:58 | |
Ahh. | 0:03:58 | 0:03:59 | |
VIRGIL: I'll see you. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:00 | |
That's it. I'm getting a divorce. | 0:04:01 | 0:04:04 | |
Amy, are you out there? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:08 | |
Yeah. | 0:04:08 | 0:04:09 | |
Come on in. | 0:04:09 | 0:04:10 | |
Hi. I'm Virgil. Hi. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:19 | |
Why don't you take your clothes off and hop up on the table? | 0:04:19 | 0:04:21 | |
I'll be there in a minute. | 0:04:21 | 0:04:22 | |
You sound like a genius at this. | 0:04:22 | 0:04:23 | |
Oh, yeah. I'm Einstein, Gandhi... | 0:04:23 | 0:04:26 | |
Virgil Adamson, massage therapist. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:29 | |
Do you want me sunny side up, | 0:04:30 | 0:04:33 | |
or down? | 0:04:33 | 0:04:35 | |
Mm, on your stomach. | 0:04:35 | 0:04:37 | |
I'm gonna start off somewhat deep. | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
And, uh, you let me know if you want | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
anything deeper. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:50 | |
Deeper is good. | 0:04:50 | 0:04:51 | |
Where I come from, all you get is shallow. | 0:04:51 | 0:04:53 | |
Ah. A New Yorker. | 0:04:53 | 0:04:57 | |
How'd you know that? | 0:04:57 | 0:05:01 | |
Oh, it's all here in the shoulders. | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
Here's that honking horn of the taxi you missed. Ha ha ha! | 0:05:04 | 0:05:09 | |
There's the rumble of the subway. | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
Right in here is the screech of the wheels | 0:05:12 | 0:05:15 | |
cos you're late, and that's why you have that tension. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
You get into the city very often? | 0:05:18 | 0:05:21 | |
You want a talk or a...massage? | 0:05:21 | 0:05:25 | |
Ha! Shutting up now. | 0:05:24 | 0:05:27 | |
Mmm. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:40 | |

it's just-it's fine. | 0:06:00 | 0:06:02 | |
Oh, it is too deep. | 0:06:03 | 0:06:05 | |
Maybe we should stop for today. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:09 | |
Here's a kleenex. | 0:06:09 | 0:06:11 | |
I don't... | 0:06:12 | 0:06:14 | |
don't know why I'm crying. | 0:06:14 | 0:06:16 | |
Must have been a lot of stuff built up, I guess. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:22 | |
Sorry. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:23 | |
Sure. | 0:06:23 | 0:06:24 | |
I'm gonna go now, | 0:06:25 | 0:06:27 | |
unless you'd like me to stay. | 0:06:27 | 0:06:29 | |
Could you, please? | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
Oh, sure. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
Sure. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
SHE SOBS | 0:06:34 | 0:06:36 | |

SHE LAUGHS | 0:08:22 | 0:08:23 | |
You fell asleep, so... | 0:08:23 | 0:08:25 | |
I thought it best if I just left. | 0:08:25 | 0:08:27 | |
Oh, thank you. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
Oh, my God, you're the skater. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:32 | |
I saw you last night driving in. | 0:08:32 | 0:08:33 | |
Really? | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
Yeah. You're pretty good with that stick. | 0:08:35 | 0:08:36 | |
Are you on some team or something? | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
You a hockey fan? | 0:08:38 | 0:08:39 | |
Um... I don't know. | 0:08:39 | 0:08:41 | |
I don't really know very much about it, | 0:08:41 | 0:08:42 | |
but it-it looks like fun. | 0:08:42 | 0:08:44 | |
I used to skate as a kid, but I've got two left feet. | 0:08:44 | 0:08:47 | |

Hey, Virg. | 0:08:54 | 0:08:56 | |
Well, I just wanted to apologise | 0:08:59 | 0:09:00 | |
for falling apart like that on your table. | 0:09:00 | 0:09:02 | |
Um, I was just in a weird place. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
Sorry. | 0:09:05 | 0:09:06 | |
And now? | 0:09:06 | 0:09:07 | |
And now I'm feeling good, | 0:09:07 | 0:09:09 | |
so I wanted to thank you for what you did. | 0:09:09 | 0:09:11 | |
For making you cry? | 0:09:11 | 0:09:13 | |
-No. -I -made me cry, | 0:09:13 | 0:09:15 | |
but you were very kind to me. Thank you. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:18 | |
Virgil! Virgil, let's move it! | 0:09:18 | 0:09:20 | |
I should let you go. | 0:09:20 | 0:09:21 | |
I'm gonna see you tomorrow. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:22 | |
I booked another massage. | 0:09:22 | 0:09:23 | |

Nice to see you. | 0:09:25 | 0:09:26 | |

OPENS DOOR | 0:10:22 | 0:10:24 | |
Jesse, get off the bed. | 0:10:27 | 0:10:28 | |
DOG BARKS There you are. | 0:10:28 | 0:10:32 | |
Come here, boy. | 0:10:32 | 0:10:35 | |
You're more like a sleeping eye dog | 0:10:35 | 0:10:36 | |
than a seeing eye dog. | 0:10:36 | 0:10:38 | |
Come here, you. | 0:10:38 | 0:10:41 | |
Come on. | 0:10:41 | 0:10:42 | |
DOG BARKS Is the game on? | 0:10:42 | 0:10:44 | |
Come on. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:46 | |
Hey... | 0:10:47 | 0:10:49 | |
I met a girl today. | 0:10:49 | 0:10:51 | |
Oh, she had the most amazing voice. It was... | 0:10:51 | 0:10:55 | |
smooth, like butter. | 0:10:55 | 0:10:58 | |
And she smelled like... | 0:10:58 | 0:11:00 | |
cinnamon and nutmeg. | 0:11:00 | 0:11:02 | |
Sounds more like a recipe | 0:11:02 | 0:11:03 | |
for a coffee cake than a girl. | 0:11:03 | 0:11:06 | |
You're here. | 0:11:06 | 0:11:07 | |
I didn't hear you. | 0:11:07 | 0:11:10 | |
TV: ..As this game starts. | 0:11:10 | 0:11:11 | |
'Sundstrom goes for the puck. Winds it around...' | 0:11:11 | 0:11:14 | |
So, how are the kids? | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
Oh, the usual, they need a lot of attention. | 0:11:16 | 0:11:18 | |
Here. | 0:11:18 | 0:11:20 | |
Mmm. | 0:11:20 | 0:11:21 | |
So, who's the girl? | 0:11:21 | 0:11:22 | |
Oh, just a spa girl, a client. | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
Gone in a week. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:28 | |
Look. If you like coffee cake that much, | 0:11:28 | 0:11:30 | |
we can sprinkle some cinnamon on Jesse. | 0:11:30 | 0:11:32 | |
Too old for me. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
Who - Jesse or the girl? | 0:11:35 | 0:11:37 | |
You're not jealous of a coffee cake, are you? | 0:11:36 | 0:11:39 | |
Coke? | 0:11:39 | 0:11:41 | |
I'm fine. Your lunch is ready. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
Chicken's at 3.00. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:46 | |
and rice is at 6.00, beans are at 9.00, | 0:11:46 | 0:11:49 | |
and the news is at 11.00. | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
One of these days, I'm gonna switch 'em on you. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:52 | |
Yeah. One day, I'll play forward | 0:11:52 | 0:11:55 | |
for the New York Rangers. | 0:11:55 | 0:11:56 | |
SHE CHUCKLES | 0:11:56 | 0:11:58 | |
You know, you need better jokes. | 0:11:58 | 0:12:00 | |
Or a new sister. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
Hmm. I'd work on the jokes, if I were you. | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
Aren't you gonna stay and watch some hockey? | 0:12:05 | 0:12:07 | |
You want to grade some spelling tests? | 0:12:07 | 0:12:09 | |
I'll be next door if you need me. | 0:12:09 | 0:12:11 | |
OK. Thanks a lot. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:13 | |
So, this girl... | 0:12:14 | 0:12:16 | |
we talked for a long time at the bus stop. | 0:12:16 | 0:12:19 | |
She thought I could see. | 0:12:21 | 0:12:23 | |
I really love coffee cake. | 0:12:27 | 0:12:29 | |

Oh, shoot. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:05 | |
Ah. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:06 | |
My foot. Ohh. Ow. | 0:13:07 | 0:13:08 | |

KNOCK ON DOOR Coming. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:17 | |
Hi. Oh, my God. Hi. | 0:13:19 | 0:13:22 | |
My turn to apologise. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:23 | |
I should've told you I was blind. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
Well, we're even. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:28 | |
Apologies cancel each other out. | 0:13:28 | 0:13:30 | |
Do you want to come in? | 0:13:30 | 0:13:32 | |
I'm sorry. I just got out of the shower. | 0:13:32 | 0:13:33 | |
I have to get changed. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:35 | |
Promise I won't look. | 0:13:35 | 0:13:37 | |
Ha ha. | 0:13:37 | 0:13:38 | |
Um, I sort of spilled some stuff on the floor. | 0:13:42 | 0:13:46 | |
Here. Why don't you sit down on the bed, | 0:13:46 | 0:13:48 | |
and I'm just gonna go change. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:50 | |
Be right back. | 0:13:50 | 0:13:52 | |
All right. | 0:13:52 | 0:13:53 | |
You know, you didn't have to come all the way back up here | 0:13:54 | 0:13:56 | |
just to apologise. | 0:13:56 | 0:13:58 | |
I was in the neighbourhood. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:00 | |
You were in the neighbourhood? | 0:14:00 | 0:14:02 | |
Oh, all right. I'll confess. | 0:14:02 | 0:14:04 | |
I was watching the hockey game with my dog, | 0:14:03 | 0:14:05 | |
and... I don't know. I was describing you. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:09 | |
What? | 0:14:09 | 0:14:11 | |
Yeah. I was describing you to my dog, | 0:14:11 | 0:14:13 | |
and how great you smelled, | 0:14:13 | 0:14:14 | |
and my sister thought I was describing a cake. | 0:14:14 | 0:14:17 | |
Anyway, I just started thinking of you here | 0:14:17 | 0:14:19 | |
in the midst of your tofu shake | 0:14:19 | 0:14:21 | |
and really, really boring yoghurt, | 0:14:21 | 0:14:23 | |
and thought maybe you'd want to get some fresh air | 0:14:23 | 0:14:25 | |
and take a walk around town... | 0:14:25 | 0:14:27 | |
just see what we see. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:30 | |
See what we see? | 0:14:30 | 0:14:31 | |
Figure of speech. | 0:14:31 | 0:14:33 | |
You mean, right here, right now? | 0:14:33 | 0:14:35 | |
Great. I'm blind and you're deaf. What a pair. | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
52 lamposts... | 0:14:40 | 0:14:42 | |
Up here on our left is my sister Jennie's school. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:46 | |
She's really great with these kids. | 0:14:46 | 0:14:49 | |
You see that guy across the street? | 0:14:49 | 0:14:52 | |
Over in the doorway. Uh... | 0:14:52 | 0:14:54 | |
He's chain-smoking, right? | 0:14:54 | 0:14:55 | |
Oh, my God, yeah. | 0:14:55 | 0:14:57 | |
Yeah. That's my friend Bruce. | 0:14:57 | 0:14:59 | |
We watch the game together sometimes. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:01 | |
CAR ENGINE RATTLES | 0:15:01 | 0:15:02 | |
Oh, here comes Nancy. She's the librarian - | 0:15:02 | 0:15:05 | |
gets me any book I want in braille. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:07 | |
Hey, Nancy. | 0:15:07 | 0:15:08 | |
Hey, Virgil. I got that book in for you. | 0:15:08 | 0:15:10 | |
Still haven't got that old jalopy fixed. | 0:15:10 | 0:15:13 | |
If I got it fixed, how would you know it was me? Hi. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
Nancy, this is Amy. Amy, this is Nancy. | 0:15:17 | 0:15:19 | |
Hi, Amy. Nice to meet you. | 0:15:19 | 0:15:21 | |
Got to go. Have fun. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:22 | |
Be careful, honey. He's all hands. | 0:15:22 | 0:15:24 | |
Be nice. Yeah. | 0:15:24 | 0:15:26 | |
Nice town you have here. | 0:15:28 | 0:15:30 | |
Seems you're very popular with the ladies. | 0:15:30 | 0:15:33 | |
Oh, yeah. Moved here when I was 8. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:36 | |
They figured it was a good place for me to grow up in. | 0:15:36 | 0:15:38 | |
It's a bit geriatric, but it works. | 0:15:38 | 0:15:41 | |
Do you mind me asking how long you've been blind? | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
No, not at all. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:48 | |
It started when I was one | 0:15:48 | 0:15:50 | |
and completely gone by the time I was 3. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:53 | |
Congenital cataracts | 0:15:53 | 0:15:54 | |
with a healthy dose of retinitis pigmentosa | 0:15:54 | 0:15:57 | |
thrown in for good measure. | 0:15:57 | 0:15:59 | |
Huh. So... | 0:15:59 | 0:16:01 | |
so you see no bright lights? | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
Nothing? | 0:16:03 | 0:16:05 | |
Nope. Blind as a bat. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:07 | |
Actually, blinder. | 0:16:07 | 0:16:08 | |
Bats emit sonar. I wish I had that sonar. | 0:16:08 | 0:16:12 | |
I don't have a sixth sense. | 0:16:12 | 0:16:13 | |
I don't have a fifth one. | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
Never wrote a book like Helen Keller. | 0:16:14 | 0:16:16 | |
Wish I could play the piano like Ray Charles. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:19 | |
I really wish I could sing like Stevie Wonder, | 0:16:19 | 0:16:22 | |
but I can't. | 0:16:22 | 0:16:23 | |
Got it. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:25 | |
Huh. | 0:16:25 | 0:16:26 | |
So, what do you, er, think of our, er, little Sleepy Hollow? | 0:16:28 | 0:16:34 | |
Has a very nice feel to it. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
Genuine lines, good use of space. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:39 | |
To be honest, I would've done something | 0:16:39 | 0:16:41 | |
a little bit more stimulating | 0:16:40 | 0:16:42 | |
with some of the newer buildings, | 0:16:41 | 0:16:42 | |
but that's just me. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:44 | |
Wow. What's you? | 0:16:44 | 0:16:46 | |
What are you, a writer for Architectural Digest? | 0:16:46 | 0:16:49 | |
No. I'm actually an architect. | 0:16:49 | 0:16:51 | |
That's what I do. | 0:16:51 | 0:16:53 | |
I have a partnership in a firm in New York. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:54 | |
Really? Yeah. | 0:16:54 | 0:16:56 | |
Wow. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
Well... | 0:16:59 | 0:17:01 | |
this is the end. | 0:17:01 | 0:17:03 | |
Guess we should go back. | 0:17:03 | 0:17:05 | |
Well, what's out there | 0:17:05 | 0:17:06 | |
past the end of the street? | 0:17:06 | 0:17:08 | |
Nothing. | 0:17:10 | 0:17:11 | |
Well, there is a... | 0:17:14 | 0:17:15 | |
an old rundown building | 0:17:15 | 0:17:17 | |
off to the left, | 0:17:17 | 0:17:18 | |
kind of like an old gas station. | 0:17:18 | 0:17:20 | |
Would you describe it to me? | 0:17:22 | 0:17:24 | |
OK. | 0:17:24 | 0:17:26 | |
Um...it's kind of dilapidated, | 0:17:26 | 0:17:29 | |
and it's sitting | 0:17:29 | 0:17:31 | |
in between two great big trees in a field. | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
The trees are sort of like a man and a woman. | 0:17:34 | 0:17:36 | |
The man is asking the woman to dance, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:38 | |
and the woman is standing on her toes, | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
trying to decide if she's got the guts. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:44 | |
Oh, God. I'm an idiot. | 0:17:44 | 0:17:45 | |
What a stupid description. Ha ha ha! | 0:17:45 | 0:17:47 | |
No. | 0:17:47 | 0:17:49 | |
I really like that - dancing trees. | 0:17:49 | 0:17:53 | |
We better get going. It's starting to rain. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:59 | |
Well, there's a little breeze, but I... | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
Oh, my God. | 0:18:02 | 0:18:03 | |
THUNDER | 0:18:03 | 0:18:04 | |
OK. Oh, my God! | 0:18:04 | 0:18:06 | |
Uh, OK. Wait. Let's go this way. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:08 | |
VIRGIL CHUCKLES | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |
Oh, my. | 0:18:17 | 0:18:18 | |
HE LAUGHS | 0:18:18 | 0:18:19 | |
I can't believe how fast that happens. | 0:18:19 | 0:18:21 | |
Do you like the rain? I love the rain. | 0:18:21 | 0:18:24 | |
Well, sometimes. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:25 | |
I love the rain. | 0:18:25 | 0:18:27 | |
Ohh. You feel everything at once. | 0:18:29 | 0:18:32 | |
It's the best way for me to understand dimension | 0:18:32 | 0:18:36 | |
in a room. | 0:18:36 | 0:18:37 | |
Can you hear it? | 0:18:37 | 0:18:38 | |
It's coming down off the ceiling, all the walls. | 0:18:38 | 0:18:43 | |
WALLS CREAK | 0:18:43 | 0:18:44 | |
Do you hear that? | 0:18:44 | 0:18:45 | |
It's hitting a puddle. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:47 | |
PLOP | 0:18:47 | 0:18:48 | |
It's echoing the sound across. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:50 | |
There's no walls. | 0:18:50 | 0:18:51 | |
RUNNING WATER | 0:18:51 | 0:18:53 | |
What's that? | 0:18:53 | 0:18:54 | |
Oh, a drainpipe. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:57 | |
You hear that? It's high up. | 0:18:57 | 0:19:00 | |
Rafters? | 0:19:00 | 0:19:01 | |
Yeah. | 0:19:01 | 0:19:02 | |
It's got its own rhythm. Hear that? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:08 | |
Ping ping ping ping. | 0:19:08 | 0:19:10 | |
And that. That sound way up. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
Uh, it looks like there's... | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
No, no. Just listen. | 0:19:17 | 0:19:19 | |
Now come here. Close your eyes. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:22 | |
Listen with your whole body. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:26 | |
Feel it? | 0:19:28 | 0:19:30 | |
Right in your chest. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:32 | |
That's beautiful, that... | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
that little sound like a... | 0:19:35 | 0:19:38 | |
like a whisper. | 0:19:38 | 0:19:39 | |
Mmm. | 0:19:39 | 0:19:41 | |
It's the wind blowing a branch across the windows. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
I can feel everything when it rains. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:51 | |
Wish it would rain inside, | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
rain all around us. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:55 | |
Heifunon. | 0:19:57 | 0:20:00 | |
What's that? | 0:19:59 | 0:20:01 | |
It's an architectural term. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:04 | |
It means "to share a feeling." | 0:20:04 | 0:20:08 | |
I don't think I've ever felt it like this before. | 0:20:10 | 0:20:13 | |
I wanted you to know I was smiling. | 0:20:29 | 0:20:31 | |
Virgil, before you lost your sight, | 0:20:56 | 0:21:00 | |
do you remember seeing anything at all? | 0:21:00 | 0:21:04 | |
I do. | 0:21:04 | 0:21:05 | |
One memory. | 0:21:05 | 0:21:06 | |
People say it's clouds, | 0:21:09 | 0:21:12 | |
but I don't think it was, | 0:21:12 | 0:21:14 | |
cos I could touch it. | 0:21:14 | 0:21:17 | |
It was a... | 0:21:17 | 0:21:20 | |
puffy thing. | 0:21:20 | 0:21:23 | |
Must've been important. | 0:21:23 | 0:21:25 | |
It's a good memory. | 0:21:25 | 0:21:28 | |
I remembered it all these years. | 0:21:29 | 0:21:31 | |
How about you? What's your first memory? | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
OK. | 0:21:38 | 0:21:40 | |
Um... | 0:21:42 | 0:21:43 | |
I was two. Or maybe three. | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
I remember being at the beach with my parents. | 0:21:51 | 0:21:54 | |
It was cold outside. | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
So...I had to snuggle down | 0:21:58 | 0:22:00 | |
between both of them in the sand | 0:22:00 | 0:22:03 | |
and we all watched the sunset over the horizon. | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
Horizon, that's a tough one. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:10 | |
If I can't feel it, I don't know what it is. | 0:22:10 | 0:22:13 | |
It's the line where the earth meet the sky. | 0:22:13 | 0:22:16 | |
It's the end of the world. | 0:22:16 | 0:22:20 | |
When I was a kid, | 0:22:21 | 0:22:22 | |
I used to think that if I walked far enough, | 0:22:22 | 0:22:25 | |
I could reach it. | 0:22:25 | 0:22:27 | |
I thought that if I could, ah... | 0:22:27 | 0:22:29 | |
if I could stand on it | 0:22:29 | 0:22:31 | |
and just look out over the edge... | 0:22:31 | 0:22:35 | |
that I would be able to see something more beautiful | 0:22:35 | 0:22:39 | |
than anything I had ever known. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:43 | |
No one's ever explained "horizon" to me before | 0:22:43 | 0:22:46 | |
so I could understand it. | 0:22:46 | 0:22:49 | |
SHE CHUCKLES | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
You're very good at what you do. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:06 | |
It's what I do. | 0:23:06 | 0:23:07 | |
It's what I can do. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:09 | |
Do you enjoy it? | 0:23:09 | 0:23:10 | |
Sometimes, I enjoy it. | 0:23:10 | 0:23:13 | |
Some times more than others. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:17 | |
This time? | 0:23:18 | 0:23:21 | |
This time... | 0:23:21 | 0:23:22 | |
This time I feel like I can... | 0:23:22 | 0:23:26 | |
see everything. | 0:23:26 | 0:23:28 | |
Everything? | 0:23:30 | 0:23:32 | |
BELL RINGS | 0:23:32 | 0:23:33 | |
Time's up. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:37 | |
Now I've got Mr Ketchum. | 0:23:37 | 0:23:40 | |
All 200 pounds of him. | 0:23:40 | 0:23:42 | |
Felt like we were just getting started. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:45 | |
Yeah. | 0:23:45 | 0:23:46 | |
Me, too. | 0:23:46 | 0:23:47 | |
Amy... | 0:23:52 | 0:23:54 | |
cos... | 0:23:57 | 0:23:59 | |
you're a client, | 0:23:59 | 0:24:00 | |
I'm not supposed to get that close to you. | 0:24:00 | 0:24:02 | |
You're not? | 0:24:02 | 0:24:04 | |
So what does that mean? | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
It means you have to stop paying me, you know. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:10 | |
Come over to my house for dinner | 0:24:10 | 0:24:11 | |
so we can finish the massage. | 0:24:11 | 0:24:14 | |
FOOD SIZZLES | 0:24:19 | 0:24:21 | |
PHONE RINGS | 0:24:22 | 0:24:24 | |
RING | 0:24:25 | 0:24:28 | |
Hello. | 0:24:28 | 0:24:29 | |
Hi, Virgil. It's Amy. | 0:24:29 | 0:24:31 | |
'Amy, hey. | 0:24:31 | 0:24:32 | |
'You're in for a real surprise. I'm cooking.' | 0:24:32 | 0:24:35 | |
So, what time you coming over? | 0:24:35 | 0:24:36 | |
Virgil, I can't come tonight. I'm so sorry. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:40 | |
I'm calling you from the road, actually. | 0:24:39 | 0:24:42 | |
I have to go back into the city. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:43 | |
An emergency's come up. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
'It's just this project that I'm in charge of' | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
is going down the drain, | 0:24:47 | 0:24:48 | |
and I got to go back in and save it. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
I'm...damn. I'm sorry. | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
'But I'm gonna come back, OK?' OK. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:54 | |
'I feel really terrible.' Bye. | 0:24:54 | 0:24:57 | |
'OK. Bye.' | 0:24:57 | 0:24:58 | |
FOOD SIZZLES | 0:25:07 | 0:25:08 | |
Stupid! | 0:25:08 | 0:25:09 | |
MAN: You're absolutely right, Mr Falk. | 0:25:10 | 0:25:13 | |
Something is missing. We realise that now, | 0:25:13 | 0:25:15 | |
and we just need some time to find out what. | 0:25:15 | 0:25:18 | |
MR FALK: 'Fine, but y'all know | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
'what kind of schedule we're on here.' | 0:25:20 | 0:25:22 | |
We will, er, we'll take care of it. | 0:25:22 | 0:25:23 | |
We won't let you down. | 0:25:23 | 0:25:25 | |
OK. All right. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
Just...don't say it. Don't say it. | 0:25:28 | 0:25:30 | |
I know you were never happy with the design anyway. | 0:25:30 | 0:25:33 | |
I wasn't gonna say it. | 0:25:33 | 0:25:35 | |
Yeah, but you'd have tinkered with it | 0:25:35 | 0:25:37 | |
till it went away, right? | 0:25:37 | 0:25:39 | |
You know what this means to us. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:41 | |
I know. | 0:25:41 | 0:25:42 | |
I know the whole speech. | 0:25:42 | 0:25:44 | |
Good, then I won't have to make it. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:46 | |
We've got the guy hooked, | 0:25:46 | 0:25:47 | |
you've got your second chance. | 0:25:47 | 0:25:50 | |
By the way, we ALL deserve a second chance. | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
OK. | 0:25:53 | 0:25:55 | |
Now... see these two trees? | 0:25:55 | 0:25:57 | |
I think it's time to give them a second chance. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:59 | |
They're gonna stay. | 0:25:59 | 0:26:00 | |
We're gonna design the whole thing around them. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
They are the most beautiful, natural thing | 0:26:02 | 0:26:04 | |
about the whole place. | 0:26:04 | 0:26:05 | |
And when I was in the car | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
on the way back from Pinecrest, | 0:26:06 | 0:26:07 | |
I came up with a new addition | 0:26:07 | 0:26:08 | |
for the Tribeca lobby. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:10 | |
It's just gonna add so much life to the place. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:12 | |
So what's going on here? A few days ago, | 0:26:11 | 0:26:15 | |
we sent off Hydra the three-headed monster, | 0:26:15 | 0:26:16 | |
and we get back Mary Poppins in return? | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
What, I can't have a couple of ideas? | 0:26:19 | 0:26:22 | |
OK! OK! You know, I had my little trip. | 0:26:24 | 0:26:27 | |
I rested, I exercised. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:30 | |
Thank you very much, Betsy. And, er... | 0:26:30 | 0:26:35 | |
I met a guy. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
This is too modern for me. | 0:26:38 | 0:26:40 | |
Betsy, we're all friends here. Sit down, sit down... | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
or you'll be fired. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
You met a guy. That's... | 0:26:46 | 0:26:49 | |
that's great. That's really great. | 0:26:49 | 0:26:50 | |
Super. Yeah. Thank you. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:52 | |
So, er... | 0:26:52 | 0:26:53 | |
spill the beans. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:54 | |
Nothing to spill, you know. He's a great guy. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:57 | |
He's smart, funny... | 0:26:57 | 0:26:59 | |
blind. | 0:26:59 | 0:27:01 | |
Oh. I thought you said he was blind. | 0:27:01 | 0:27:03 | |
He's blond. | 0:27:03 | 0:27:05 | |
That, too. | 0:27:05 | 0:27:06 | |
HE CHUCKLES | 0:27:06 | 0:27:09 | |
I'm sorry. That's fu... | 0:27:09 | 0:27:12 | |
Blind blind? Like, like... | 0:27:12 | 0:27:13 | |
white cane, tap tap tap blind? | 0:27:13 | 0:27:18 | |
Come on. I know you like a challenge. | 0:27:18 | 0:27:20 | |
Hell, you married me, but, er... | 0:27:20 | 0:27:21 | |
OK. Thank you very much for your understanding. | 0:27:21 | 0:27:24 | |
It's not... | 0:27:24 | 0:27:26 | |
it's not my problem anymore. | 0:27:26 | 0:27:27 | |
Duncan, don't be a jerk. | 0:27:27 | 0:27:30 | |
You still work here? | 0:27:30 | 0:27:31 | |
< Everyone's gone for the day. | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
That's OK. | 0:27:42 | 0:27:43 | |
I'm just gonna work here a little bit longer. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:46 | |
Just doing something... | 0:27:46 | 0:27:48 | |
What? | 0:27:56 | 0:27:57 | |
I just wanna know a little bit more about the guy. Is that so wrong? | 0:27:57 | 0:28:01 | |
Listen - my father had a problem with severe cataracts. | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
Do you have any idea what you're getting into? | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
Have you ever listened to the rain? | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
I mean, REALLY listened? | 0:28:14 | 0:28:16 | |
This like that "smell the roses" thing? | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
No. It is not. | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
But, see, I've... | 0:28:25 | 0:28:26 | |
For the past five years | 0:28:26 | 0:28:28 | |
I lived with a man with the depth of a soapdish. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
The only time I ever saw him cry | 0:28:31 | 0:28:34 | |
was when he did our tax returns. | 0:28:34 | 0:28:36 | |
I need more than that. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:38 | |
And there's something about this guy. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:43 | |
He makes me feel like I-I'm waking up | 0:28:44 | 0:28:46 | |
after being asleep for a long time. | 0:28:46 | 0:28:49 | |
I'm inspired again, I can draw again... | 0:28:49 | 0:28:52 | |
and... the way that he touches me... | 0:28:53 | 0:28:57 | |
Here we go! It's the sex! | 0:28:57 | 0:28:59 | |
No! No sex! Not yet. | 0:28:59 | 0:29:01 | |
It's just that when... | 0:29:02 | 0:29:05 | |
when he touches me I feel like | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
he does it to know me better, | 0:29:07 | 0:29:10 | |
not to get something from me. | 0:29:10 | 0:29:12 | |
And, when he listens to me... | 0:29:12 | 0:29:15 | |
it's as though my words | 0:29:15 | 0:29:17 | |
are the last sounds on the planet. | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
Even though he doesn't know how I look, | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
I feel like he really knows who I am. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:25 | |
He just moves me, that's all. | 0:29:26 | 0:29:28 | |
Does he have a brother? | 0:29:29 | 0:29:31 | |
Whoo! Wayne Gretzky, look out. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:48 | |
Amy? | 0:29:48 | 0:29:49 | |
How long have you been here? | 0:29:50 | 0:29:52 | |
About an hour. Ha ha ha! | 0:29:52 | 0:29:55 | |
No. I went up to the lodge, | 0:29:55 | 0:29:58 | |
and you weren't there, so I guessed, | 0:29:58 | 0:30:00 | |
and here you are. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:02 | |
You're really good at that. | 0:30:02 | 0:30:04 | |
Thanks. My dad taught me. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
So, how do you like my pond? | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
It's beautiful. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:13 | |
I'm so surprised you're here. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:17 | |
You want to go skating? | 0:30:17 | 0:30:19 | |
I didn't bring any skates. | 0:30:19 | 0:30:20 | |
Nah, come on. It's all right. | 0:30:20 | 0:30:21 | |
Wait. What do you mean? | 0:30:21 | 0:30:24 | |
Uh, this is ice. I don't have any skates. | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
Come on. I used to take my sister Jennie out | 0:30:26 | 0:30:29 | |
all the time like this. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:31 | |
Take my stick, put it over there on the branch. | 0:30:31 | 0:30:33 | |
OK. | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
Yeah? Ready? | 0:30:38 | 0:30:39 | |
OK. Now, don't think about skating. | 0:30:39 | 0:30:42 | |
Think about gliding. | 0:30:42 | 0:30:44 | |
So, don't think about the ice. | 0:30:44 | 0:30:46 | |
Don't look down. | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
Take your mind off it. Tell me about yourself. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:50 | |
How did you become an architect? | 0:30:50 | 0:30:52 | |
OK. I was in art school in college and... | 0:30:52 | 0:30:57 | |
Aah! Don't look down. | 0:30:57 | 0:30:59 | |
I didn't know what I was going to do with myself, | 0:30:58 | 0:31:03 | |
and then I met this guy | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
who was an architectural grad student, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:09 | |
and he opened up this whole new world for me. | 0:31:09 | 0:31:12 | |
Aah! Don't look down. | 0:31:12 | 0:31:13 | |
OK. | 0:31:13 | 0:31:14 | |
So, me and the grad student got married, | 0:31:14 | 0:31:18 | |
and we started a company... | 0:31:18 | 0:31:19 | |
Uhh! | 0:31:19 | 0:31:20 | |
Sorry. We're divorced now. It's OK. | 0:31:20 | 0:31:23 | |
Uh, we got divorced about a year ago, | 0:31:23 | 0:31:26 | |
but we're still working together, | 0:31:26 | 0:31:27 | |
which is kind of crazy. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:30 | |
What-uh, wait! | 0:31:30 | 0:31:31 | |
Whoa! Whoa! | 0:31:31 | 0:31:34 | |
You OK? Yeah. | 0:31:34 | 0:31:36 | |
Yeah. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:38 | |
SHE LAUGHS | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
You think I meant to do that? | 0:31:45 | 0:31:47 | |
Yeah. Did you? | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
Yeah. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:52 | |
Oh, God. This is so hard. | 0:31:56 | 0:31:59 | |
What? | 0:31:59 | 0:32:00 | |
Um, well... | 0:32:00 | 0:32:02 | |
I'm looking at you, right? | 0:32:02 | 0:32:05 | |
And there's this, er... | 0:32:05 | 0:32:07 | |
there's this little thing I do with my eyes | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
where I'm sort of glancing out | 0:32:10 | 0:32:12 | |
from under my eyelashes | 0:32:12 | 0:32:13 | |
and sort of giving you this sexy look, | 0:32:13 | 0:32:16 | |
and then I realised it doesn't matter to you. | 0:32:16 | 0:32:19 | |
No, it doesn't matter. | 0:32:19 | 0:32:21 | |
Here. Let me see. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:26 | |
Eyes. | 0:32:31 | 0:32:32 | |
Nose. | 0:32:36 | 0:32:37 | |
Mouth. | 0:32:39 | 0:32:41 | |
You're very beautiful. | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
Thank you. | 0:32:48 | 0:32:50 | |
So are you. | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |

VIRGIL: Hi. I'm in the bathroom. | 0:34:52 | 0:34:54 | |
Oh! Hi. | 0:34:55 | 0:34:56 | |
Hi. | 0:34:56 | 0:34:57 | |
Um... I'm Jennie, Virgil's sister. | 0:34:57 | 0:34:59 | |
Hi. I'm Amy Benic. | 0:34:59 | 0:35:02 | |
Nice to meet you. | 0:35:02 | 0:35:04 | |
You, too. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:05 | |
Hi. Hi. | 0:35:06 | 0:35:08 | |
Here, here. | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
So, I was at the market, | 0:35:10 | 0:35:11 | |
picking up a few things before school, | 0:35:11 | 0:35:13 | |
and I thought you might like... | 0:35:13 | 0:35:14 | |
apples...and bananas. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
He's being a show-off, Amy. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:18 | |
He smells them a mile away. | 0:35:18 | 0:35:20 | |
The apples are on the bottom shelf. | 0:35:20 | 0:35:21 | |
Two o'clock. I know. Thanks. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:23 | |
Do you, er...do you want some coffee? | 0:35:23 | 0:35:26 | |
OK. | 0:35:26 | 0:35:27 | |
Amy, how long are you in town? | 0:35:27 | 0:35:30 | |
CRASH Owww! | 0:35:30 | 0:35:31 | |
You OK? | 0:35:31 | 0:35:32 | |
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. | 0:35:32 | 0:35:33 | |
No, you're not. You're bleeding. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:35 | |
VIRGIL: No. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:36 | |
First thing with a blind man, Amy, | 0:35:36 | 0:35:37 | |
you don't change anything. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:38 | |
It's too dangerous. | 0:35:38 | 0:35:39 | |
Jennie... | 0:35:39 | 0:35:41 | |
Listen, it's OK. It's all right. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:42 | |
Damn it! I said I'm OK! | 0:35:42 | 0:35:44 | |
It's just a chair. Happens to everybody. Really. | 0:35:44 | 0:35:48 | |
I've got parent meetings tonight, | 0:35:48 | 0:35:50 | |
so your dinner's in the freezer, | 0:35:50 | 0:35:52 | |
and it's in the lower corner. | 0:35:52 | 0:35:54 | |
It's nice to have met you, Amy. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:57 | |
You, too, Jennie. Thanks. | 0:35:57 | 0:35:59 | |
She's just being an older sister. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:06 | |
She's just being jealous. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:07 | |
Do you want some coffee? | 0:36:07 | 0:36:09 | |
Yeah. OK. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:11 | |

Hey... | 0:36:56 | 0:36:57 | |
Virgil. Hi. | 0:36:58 | 0:37:00 | |
Hey, I've been looking all over for you. | 0:37:00 | 0:37:02 | |
I have some great news. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:04 | |
That Atlanta project of yours? | 0:37:04 | 0:37:06 | |
Oh, no. Something much better. | 0:37:06 | 0:37:09 | |
Can I ask you something? | 0:37:09 | 0:37:10 | |
Sure. I'm all ears. | 0:37:10 | 0:37:14 | |
Hi. Hey. | 0:37:16 | 0:37:18 | |
Let me catch my breath. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:22 | |
OK. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:23 | |
OK. | 0:37:24 | 0:37:26 | |
Have you ever wondered | 0:37:26 | 0:37:27 | |
what it would be like to see? | 0:37:27 | 0:37:29 | |
Sure. | 0:37:29 | 0:37:31 | |
Like, er... | 0:37:31 | 0:37:33 | |
whether there's life on Mars, | 0:37:33 | 0:37:37 | |
or whether or not the aliens built the pyramids. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:41 | |
OK, but if there were a chance, | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
if something could be done | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
to give you sight, | 0:37:46 | 0:37:47 | |
would you take it? | 0:37:47 | 0:37:49 | |
Well... | 0:37:49 | 0:37:51 | |
ha ha! What are we talking about here? | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
Ha! | 0:37:54 | 0:37:56 | |
Um, I saw that article on Dr Aaron. | 0:37:56 | 0:37:59 | |
Who? | 0:37:59 | 0:38:00 | |
He-he's the leading eye surgeon | 0:38:00 | 0:38:02 | |
on the Eastern Seaboard, | 0:38:02 | 0:38:03 | |
and I called him up | 0:38:03 | 0:38:05 | |
at Manhattan Eye and Ear, | 0:38:05 | 0:38:07 | |
and spoke to him about you. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:09 | |
I'm sorry, you called this guy? | 0:38:09 | 0:38:12 | |
Yes. | 0:38:12 | 0:38:13 | |
And he just faxed me back, | 0:38:13 | 0:38:15 | |
and he said that he would be | 0:38:15 | 0:38:16 | |
very excited to see you | 0:38:16 | 0:38:17 | |
because he thinks that in your case | 0:38:17 | 0:38:19 | |
there might be a chance of reversal. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:21 | |
What do you think? | 0:38:21 | 0:38:23 | |
I guess I'm, er, | 0:38:25 | 0:38:28 | |
I forgot that it's Help the Handicapped Week. | 0:38:28 | 0:38:31 | |
I-I-I thought you'd be excited. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
I-what-what's the problem? | 0:38:34 | 0:38:35 | |
That's the point, Amy. | 0:38:35 | 0:38:36 | |
There is no damn problem. | 0:38:36 | 0:38:38 | |
Hi. | 0:38:44 | 0:38:45 | |
Hi, Jennie. | 0:38:45 | 0:38:46 | |
Did great work today. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
See you tomorrow. | 0:38:48 | 0:38:49 | |
WOMAN: OK, thanks. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:51 | |
Hi. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:52 | |
Amy, right? | 0:38:52 | 0:38:53 | |
Right. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:54 | |
Um, could I speak to you for a minute? | 0:38:54 | 0:38:55 | |
Yeah. Something wrong? | 0:38:55 | 0:38:57 | |
Well, there's something that I don't understand. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
I saw that article on Dr Aaron, | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
and I called him, | 0:39:01 | 0:39:02 | |
and he's willing to see Virgil. | 0:39:02 | 0:39:05 | |
In fact, he's really anxious to see him, | 0:39:05 | 0:39:06 | |
but when I told Virgil about him, | 0:39:06 | 0:39:08 | |
he acted as if I was trying to... | 0:39:08 | 0:39:09 | |
What don't you understand? | 0:39:09 | 0:39:12 | |
Well, if I had spent almost my entire life blind, | 0:39:12 | 0:39:17 | |
and there was even the remotest possibility | 0:39:16 | 0:39:18 | |
that I could regain my sight, | 0:39:18 | 0:39:20 | |
I would be all over that. | 0:39:20 | 0:39:22 | |
When there's something that you've adapted to, accepted, | 0:39:22 | 0:39:24 | |
you go and change it without knowing the consequences? | 0:39:24 | 0:39:28 | |
We're very happy here, Amy. | 0:39:30 | 0:39:32 | |
Virgil has everything he needs. | 0:39:32 | 0:39:34 | |
Wait. | 0:39:38 | 0:39:39 | |
EVERYTHING that he needs? | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
Does he need to go through life blind | 0:39:41 | 0:39:43 | |
if there's the possibility that he could see? | 0:39:43 | 0:39:47 | |
Look, I would give him my own eyes | 0:39:47 | 0:39:48 | |
if it would help him see, but it won't. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:50 | |
I learned a long time ago to stop believing in miracles. | 0:39:50 | 0:39:52 | |
Look, I see where you're coming from. | 0:39:52 | 0:39:54 | |
YES, you do, and Virgil doesn't. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:56 | |
Why can't you accept that? | 0:39:56 | 0:39:58 | |
He spent the first eight years of his life | 0:39:57 | 0:40:00 | |
having his eyes probed, pierced, prodded, | 0:40:00 | 0:40:03 | |
poked at by doctors, | 0:40:03 | 0:40:04 | |
faith healers, spiritualists, | 0:40:04 | 0:40:06 | |
shaman, medicine men. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:07 | |
My father had them lined up outside the door. | 0:40:07 | 0:40:10 | |
It hurt and disappointed all of us, | 0:40:10 | 0:40:12 | |
and it almost killed him. | 0:40:12 | 0:40:13 | |
He doesn't need to go through that again. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
So now maybe you understand. | 0:40:16 | 0:40:19 | |

'..By Rector. We've got a...' | 0:40:33 | 0:40:35 | |
Amy? | 0:40:35 | 0:40:36 | |
Hey. | 0:40:36 | 0:40:37 | |
Hi, Amy. Just a... | 0:40:39 | 0:40:42 | |
Ranger game. HE CHUCKLES | 0:40:42 | 0:40:46 | |
Are they losing? | 0:40:47 | 0:40:48 | |
Well, no. I'd prefer to think of it as not winning. | 0:40:48 | 0:40:53 | |
Hi. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:55 | |
Hi. | 0:40:54 | 0:40:56 | |
Do you want to, er, come in, | 0:40:56 | 0:40:58 | |
get a coke or, um, a beer or something? | 0:40:58 | 0:41:01 | |
No, I'm fine. | 0:41:01 | 0:41:02 | |
I just, er... | 0:41:02 | 0:41:04 | |
I just wanted to come see you | 0:41:04 | 0:41:05 | |
before I had to go back to the city. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:07 | |
Oh. Spa days are over? | 0:41:07 | 0:41:12 | |
I've got to go back to work. | 0:41:11 | 0:41:13 | |
I just wanted to apologise | 0:41:15 | 0:41:16 | |
for stomping in your life like Bigfoot today. | 0:41:16 | 0:41:20 | |
It wasn't my place. I'm sorry. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
Here. Here. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:23 | |
See, um, see the tree over there, across the drive? | 0:41:26 | 0:41:31 | |
Yeah. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:33 | |
How far away is it? | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
Guessing about 25 feet. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
Mm. To you maybe, but to me, | 0:41:38 | 0:41:40 | |
it's 14 steps. | 0:41:40 | 0:41:43 | |
14 steps, and I get to the tree, | 0:41:43 | 0:41:45 | |
but if I think about something else, | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
if I go too slow, | 0:41:47 | 0:41:48 | |
or if I rush, | 0:41:48 | 0:41:50 | |
then I smash right into it. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:54 | |
OK. | 0:41:58 | 0:41:59 | |
Well, I guess that, | 0:42:00 | 0:42:02 | |
you know, I should go pack. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
Oh, you like smashing into trees? | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
Amy? | 0:42:38 | 0:42:41 | |
I'm over here. | 0:42:41 | 0:42:42 | |
I couldn't sleep. | 0:42:44 | 0:42:45 | |
Well, come back in bed. | 0:42:45 | 0:42:47 | |
JENNIE: What is it you like about this girl? | 0:43:19 | 0:43:21 | |
VIRGIL: I want you to hear one thing. | 0:43:21 | 0:43:22 | |
What? That I'm happy. | 0:43:22 | 0:43:24 | |
That's wonderful, but haven't you been | 0:43:24 | 0:43:25 | |
through this enough? | 0:43:25 | 0:43:26 | |
You're not being fair. | 0:43:26 | 0:43:27 | |
I just don't want to see you get hurt, that's all. | 0:43:27 | 0:43:29 | |
That's your point? Yes. | 0:43:29 | 0:43:31 | |
So what's your advice? | 0:43:31 | 0:43:32 | |
What are you trying to say? | 0:43:32 | 0:43:33 | |
I'm worried about you, that's all. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:35 | |
No, that's not true. | 0:43:35 | 0:43:36 | |
That's not the point. | 0:43:36 | 0:43:37 | |
Yes, it is the point. | 0:43:37 | 0:43:38 | |
That's what you're saying, | 0:43:38 | 0:43:39 | |
but it's not what you're doing. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:40 | |
No. You're acting like a child. | 0:43:40 | 0:43:41 | |
You are, too. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:42 | |
CAR STARTS | 0:43:42 | 0:43:44 | |
Hi. | 0:43:55 | 0:43:56 | |
Hi. | 0:43:56 | 0:43:57 | |
Is everything all right? | 0:43:57 | 0:43:58 | |
Yeah. | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
No. | 0:44:00 | 0:44:01 | |
I didn't like the feeling last night | 0:44:01 | 0:44:03 | |
of waking up and... | 0:44:03 | 0:44:06 | |
thinking you weren't there. | 0:44:06 | 0:44:08 | |
Let's go to New York. | 0:44:11 | 0:44:12 | |
LOUIS ARMSTRONG: # Bum ba da doop Dee doo | 0:44:12 | 0:44:14 | |
# Doo doo | 0:44:14 | 0:44:15 | |
# The way you wear your hat | 0:44:15 | 0:44:18 | |
# The way you sip your tea | 0:44:18 | 0:44:23 | |
# The memory of all that | 0:44:23 | 0:44:28 | |
# No, no, they can't take that away from me | 0:44:28 | 0:44:33 | |
# The way your smile... # | 0:44:33 | 0:44:34 | |
AMY: Honey, it is the most beautiful New York day - | 0:44:34 | 0:44:38 | |
crisp and clear | 0:44:38 | 0:44:39 | |
and there are these little, white, puffy clouds | 0:44:39 | 0:44:41 | |
above the city, maybe like the ones that you saw. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:43 | |
No, the ones I saw I could hold in my hand. | 0:44:43 | 0:44:47 | |
Watch out for that car! | 0:44:47 | 0:44:48 | |
Oh. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:51 | |
# No, they can't take that away from me. # | 0:44:51 | 0:44:57 | |
MAN: The cataracts are acting like a curtain | 0:44:57 | 0:45:00 | |
across the window of sight, | 0:45:00 | 0:45:02 | |
and if the disease to the retina | 0:45:02 | 0:45:04 | |
is reduced or in check - | 0:45:04 | 0:45:06 | |
which is impossible to know at this point - | 0:45:06 | 0:45:08 | |
but if that is the case, | 0:45:08 | 0:45:09 | |
using this new procedure, | 0:45:09 | 0:45:10 | |
there's a very good possibility | 0:45:10 | 0:45:12 | |
we can give you sight. | 0:45:12 | 0:45:14 | |
Sounds expensive. | 0:45:14 | 0:45:16 | |
Well, I think there's an opportunity | 0:45:16 | 0:45:17 | |
for all of us here. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
Not often do we get to restore sight | 0:45:19 | 0:45:21 | |
to someone with extended blindness. | 0:45:21 | 0:45:23 | |
I'm sure we can get the institute | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
to pick up the bill here. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:26 | |
I've been through all this before. | 0:45:26 | 0:45:29 | |
Yeah, well, believe me, I know, | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |
but it's nothing as invasive | 0:45:31 | 0:45:32 | |
as what you went through as a child. | 0:45:32 | 0:45:34 | |
I mean, 25 years ago, cataract surgery was in the dark ages. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:38 | |
We've come a long way since then, | 0:45:38 | 0:45:40 | |
and Dr Goldman here | 0:45:40 | 0:45:42 | |
will be performing the surgery. | 0:45:42 | 0:45:44 | |
He's one of our best. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:46 | |
What if it doesn't work? | 0:45:46 | 0:45:48 | |
Well... | 0:45:48 | 0:45:49 | |
then you'd be no worse off | 0:45:49 | 0:45:50 | |
than you are now. | 0:45:50 | 0:45:52 | |
I mean, basically, | 0:45:53 | 0:45:54 | |
what have you got to lose? | 0:45:54 | 0:45:56 | |
CAR HORN HONKS | 0:45:56 | 0:45:57 | |
SIRENS | 0:45:57 | 0:45:58 | |
AMY: So this is my place. | 0:45:58 | 0:46:00 | |
There's a great park right around the corner. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:02 | |
We're in Tribeca if you want to go take a walk. | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
Hold it, hold it. Sorry. | 0:46:04 | 0:46:05 | |
Ethan, watch out. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:06 | |
Hey. This, my friend, | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
is Virgil. | 0:46:09 | 0:46:10 | |
Virgil, Ethan. | 0:46:10 | 0:46:11 | |
Ethan. | 0:46:11 | 0:46:12 | |
Are you blind? | 0:46:12 | 0:46:14 | |
Yeah. Cool. See you. | 0:46:14 | 0:46:16 | |
See you. | 0:46:16 | 0:46:18 | |
Kids think I'm cool. | 0:46:18 | 0:46:19 | |
You are. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:20 | |
OK, here we are. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:23 | |
This is my loft. | 0:46:25 | 0:46:27 | |
Can I put this down here? | 0:46:27 | 0:46:28 | |
Yeah. Anywhere. I'll just get it. | 0:46:28 | 0:46:30 | |
OK. Can I do some blind 101? | 0:46:32 | 0:46:35 | |
If you just walk me down the centre | 0:46:35 | 0:46:38 | |
and point out all the obstacles. | 0:46:38 | 0:46:40 | |
If you want to move anything, | 0:46:40 | 0:46:41 | |
once you move it, | 0:46:41 | 0:46:42 | |
then don't move it again. | 0:46:42 | 0:46:44 | |
Otherwise, crash. | 0:46:44 | 0:46:47 | |
OK. Got it. | 0:46:47 | 0:46:49 | |
Well, to our right is the living room section. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:52 | |
There's a couch and some low tables | 0:46:52 | 0:46:54 | |
and a chair at two o'clock. | 0:46:54 | 0:46:55 | |
OK. Over here at 10, there is a post, | 0:46:55 | 0:47:00 | |
and I've hit this many times, so... | 0:47:00 | 0:47:02 | |
over to the right is - a little bit - | 0:47:02 | 0:47:05 | |
Whoa. A little further right. | 0:47:05 | 0:47:07 | |
The bed. Ohh. | 0:47:07 | 0:47:08 | |
And right in front of it there is | 0:47:08 | 0:47:09 | |
a low table that you could hurt | 0:47:09 | 0:47:11 | |
your shin on. | 0:47:11 | 0:47:12 | |
Uh, three o'clock, there is a TV, | 0:47:12 | 0:47:15 | |
and... | 0:47:15 | 0:47:16 | |
this is, er, my desk here. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:18 | |
I have a computer, | 0:47:18 | 0:47:20 | |
and I've got my model here of... | 0:47:20 | 0:47:24 | |
What's this? | 0:47:24 | 0:47:26 | |
It's a sculpture. | 0:47:26 | 0:47:29 | |
You did it. | 0:47:30 | 0:47:31 | |
Yeah. Art school. | 0:47:31 | 0:47:35 | |
It's not very good. | 0:47:34 | 0:47:35 | |
It's a mother holding her baby. | 0:47:35 | 0:47:39 | |
That's beautiful. | 0:47:39 | 0:47:41 | |
Ah, whatever. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:42 | |
I mean, I could never finish it. | 0:47:42 | 0:47:44 | |
OK, come on. | 0:47:44 | 0:47:46 | |
And then we have reached | 0:47:48 | 0:47:49 | |
the end of the room | 0:47:49 | 0:47:50 | |
to the wall of windows. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:52 | |
Hmm. Do they open? | 0:47:52 | 0:47:54 | |
Yeah. | 0:47:54 | 0:47:55 | |
CAR HORNS HONKING | 0:47:55 | 0:47:56 | |
Oh! Shoot! | 0:47:56 | 0:47:58 | |
Sorry. | 0:47:57 | 0:47:59 | |
It's the wind. | 0:47:58 | 0:48:00 | |
Sorry about that. | 0:48:01 | 0:48:02 | |
It's OK. | 0:48:02 | 0:48:04 | |
Just stuff. | 0:48:04 | 0:48:05 | |
What are they? | 0:48:07 | 0:48:09 | |
Um, they're my plans. | 0:48:09 | 0:48:11 | |
Uh, they're designs for different jobs that I'm working on, | 0:48:11 | 0:48:14 | |
like the Atlanta mall that we're bidding on | 0:48:14 | 0:48:16 | |
or, I don't know... | 0:48:16 | 0:48:17 | |
we have the Tribeca lobby. | 0:48:17 | 0:48:18 | |
It's just what I do. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:19 | |
What are the plans? | 0:48:21 | 0:48:23 | |
They drawings? | 0:48:23 | 0:48:24 | |
Yeah, some of them are drawings. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:27 | |
The one you're touching is a drawing. | 0:48:27 | 0:48:29 | |
Some of them are computer generated and blueprints, | 0:48:29 | 0:48:31 | |
but I drew this one. | 0:48:31 | 0:48:33 | |
What are you thinking about? | 0:48:44 | 0:48:45 | |
I want to have this operation. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:52 | |
You mean it? | 0:48:52 | 0:48:53 | |
Yes. | 0:48:58 | 0:49:00 | |
COMPUTER: 'IA map. | 0:49:01 | 0:49:03 | |

'US pulse. | 0:49:09 | 0:49:11 | |
'US IA.' | 0:49:11 | 0:49:12 | |
Looks good. All right, balance all. | 0:49:12 | 0:49:14 | |
And the hydrodissection now, please. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:19 | |
Cortical cleavage. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:22 | |
COMPUTER: 'Irrigation...' | 0:49:22 | 0:49:23 | |
First cut. | 0:49:23 | 0:49:25 | |
IA map. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:26 | |
Coffee? | 0:49:27 | 0:49:29 | |
Oh, thanks. | 0:49:29 | 0:49:31 | |
It's pretty bad. | 0:49:31 | 0:49:33 | |
So, Virgil never talks about his parents. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:39 | |
Do they know? | 0:49:39 | 0:49:41 | |
Our mom died when I was 18, | 0:49:41 | 0:49:43 | |
and Virgil was just a teenager... | 0:49:43 | 0:49:46 | |
and, our, er...father, well, he left us | 0:49:46 | 0:49:49 | |
quite a while ago. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:51 | |
Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know. | 0:49:51 | 0:49:53 | |
Ugh. You're right. That is bad. | 0:49:57 | 0:49:59 | |
Ha ha! | 0:49:59 | 0:50:02 | |
That must've been tough on you, | 0:50:02 | 0:50:03 | |
taking care of him all alone | 0:50:03 | 0:50:05 | |
after your mom died. | 0:50:05 | 0:50:07 | |
No. He's my brother. | 0:50:07 | 0:50:09 | |
Great. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:12 | |
And now the Sinskey hook, please. | 0:50:12 | 0:50:16 | |
COMPUTER: 'US hydrosonic. US IA...' | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
I can see the optic nerve now and retina. | 0:50:18 | 0:50:20 | |
'US pulse.' | 0:50:20 | 0:50:23 | |
Patch. | 0:50:23 | 0:50:24 | |
That's it. Let's patch him up, Tracy. | 0:50:24 | 0:50:27 | |
Terrific. | 0:50:27 | 0:50:28 | |
DOOR OPENS Hello? | 0:50:32 | 0:50:35 | |
Hi. | 0:50:38 | 0:50:40 | |
Hi. How you doing? | 0:50:42 | 0:50:44 | |
How you feeling? | 0:50:45 | 0:50:48 | |
Well, a bit like a tequila hangover, | 0:50:48 | 0:50:52 | |
but I can't remember the party. | 0:50:52 | 0:50:53 | |
The doctor said that you did great. | 0:50:53 | 0:50:55 | |
Did it hurt a lot? | 0:50:55 | 0:50:57 | |
Just the operation. | 0:50:57 | 0:50:59 | |
Hey, how's my hair? | 0:50:59 | 0:51:01 | |
I'd hate for my first seeing day | 0:51:01 | 0:51:03 | |
to be a bad hair day. | 0:51:03 | 0:51:04 | |
Heh...looks good. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:07 | |
Who are those, um, people? | 0:51:07 | 0:51:09 | |
There's a camera crew. | 0:51:09 | 0:51:11 | |
DR AARON: For posterity. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:12 | |
We're gonna make you famous here, | 0:51:12 | 0:51:14 | |
and we're sending this closed circuit | 0:51:14 | 0:51:15 | |
into one of our conference rooms. | 0:51:15 | 0:51:17 | |
Is that OK? Sure. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:19 | |
OK. You ready to get started? | 0:51:19 | 0:51:21 | |
Yeah. Let's... | 0:51:21 | 0:51:22 | |
..see what we see. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:24 | |
All right. | 0:51:24 | 0:51:27 | |
You mean, er, right now? | 0:51:27 | 0:51:29 | |
OK. | 0:51:29 | 0:51:31 | |
Is that all right? | 0:51:30 | 0:51:31 | |
Yeah...just a little nervous. | 0:51:31 | 0:51:33 | |
DR AARON: OK. All right. | 0:51:33 | 0:51:36 | |
Let's start taking the first one off. | 0:51:36 | 0:51:38 | |
This is just the outside. | 0:51:39 | 0:51:42 | |
DR AARON: OK. Phase one. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:51 | |
Take off the, er... right patch. | 0:51:53 | 0:51:57 | |
And the left. | 0:52:02 | 0:52:04 | |
OK...and there we go. | 0:52:06 | 0:52:09 | |
OK. | 0:52:11 | 0:52:12 | |
So, what do you see? | 0:52:19 | 0:52:20 | |
VIRGIL: Oh, my God. | 0:52:24 | 0:52:25 | |
DR AARON: Well, what do you see? | 0:52:34 | 0:52:36 | |
I don't know. | 0:52:36 | 0:52:38 | |
Can you see Amy? | 0:52:38 | 0:52:39 | |
I'm over here, Virgil. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:42 | |
I don't know. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:47 | |
Can you see your sister? | 0:52:49 | 0:52:51 | |
Virgil, are you OK? You OK? | 0:52:51 | 0:52:54 | |
Oh, god. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:55 | |
This isn't right. Something's wrong. | 0:52:55 | 0:52:57 | |
What's wrong? There's a problem. | 0:52:57 | 0:52:58 | |
It's gonna be fine. It just takes a little... | 0:52:58 | 0:53:00 | |
No, it's not fine. Don't say it's fine. | 0:53:00 | 0:53:01 | |
This can't be seeing. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:03 | |
What do you see? | 0:53:03 | 0:53:04 | |
Aah! Ohh! | 0:53:04 | 0:53:05 | |
Oh, that's bad! | 0:53:05 | 0:53:07 | |
OK... | 0:53:07 | 0:53:08 | |
Oh, god! Aah! | 0:53:10 | 0:53:11 | |
Stop moving! | 0:53:11 | 0:53:12 | |
Get the lights out. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:13 | |
Get them out of here, please. | 0:53:13 | 0:53:14 | |
What can we do for you? | 0:53:14 | 0:53:16 | |
OK, Virgil, they've gone. | 0:53:16 | 0:53:17 | |
Now let's everybody just calm down. | 0:53:17 | 0:53:19 | |
OK. All right, um... | 0:53:19 | 0:53:20 | |
DR AARON: It's OK. They've left. | 0:53:20 | 0:53:23 | |
Just think. Something's wrong. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:25 | |
This can't be seeing. | 0:53:25 | 0:53:26 | |
Just relax. It's OK. | 0:53:26 | 0:53:28 | |
I'm OK. | 0:53:28 | 0:53:29 | |
What can we do? | 0:53:29 | 0:53:32 | |
Um, give me something in my hands. | 0:53:32 | 0:53:35 | |
OK. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:36 | |
OK. | 0:53:37 | 0:53:39 | |
OK... OK... | 0:53:40 | 0:53:44 | |
Good. Now, just use your sense of touch. | 0:53:44 | 0:53:48 | |
Just associate. | 0:53:48 | 0:53:49 | |
Now, what do you see in front of you? | 0:53:49 | 0:53:51 | |
Oh... | 0:53:51 | 0:53:53 | |
Use your touch. | 0:53:53 | 0:53:54 | |
OK, Virgil. | 0:53:55 | 0:53:56 | |
It's a can. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:17 | |
Yeah, heh heh. Good. | 0:54:17 | 0:54:19 | |
What's going on? | 0:54:19 | 0:54:20 | |
Well, he-he's associating. | 0:54:20 | 0:54:21 | |
His fingers tell his brain, | 0:54:21 | 0:54:23 | |
and then his brain tells his eyes, | 0:54:23 | 0:54:24 | |
and then he recognises what's in front of him. | 0:54:24 | 0:54:27 | |
OK, Virgil...let's give your eyes a rest, OK? | 0:54:30 | 0:54:35 | |
We should all be very happy. | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
We've got something. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:39 | |
It's the damnedest thing. | 0:54:46 | 0:54:48 | |
I mean, with extended blindness... | 0:54:48 | 0:54:49 | |
Doctor, excuse me. May I speak to you? | 0:54:49 | 0:54:51 | |
Sure. | 0:54:51 | 0:54:53 | |
What the hell just happened in there? | 0:54:53 | 0:54:54 | |
Is that what you call seeing? | 0:54:54 | 0:54:56 | |
Look, it's a little complicated. | 0:54:56 | 0:54:58 | |
It is clear that he is seeing. | 0:54:58 | 0:55:00 | |
He's picking up images. | 0:55:00 | 0:55:02 | |
Apparently, his retina is intact. | 0:55:02 | 0:55:05 | |
For all intents and purposes, it's a success. | 0:55:05 | 0:55:08 | |
A success? He's all lost in there. | 0:55:08 | 0:55:10 | |
He can't see me. He can't see his sister. | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |
He can't see anything except a coke can. | 0:55:12 | 0:55:14 | |
And he could only do that | 0:55:14 | 0:55:15 | |
after he held it in his hands. | 0:55:15 | 0:55:16 | |
He could do that before. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:17 | |
Believe me, he can see you. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:18 | |
He just doesn't understand what he sees. | 0:55:18 | 0:55:21 | |
So, is this temporary? | 0:55:22 | 0:55:23 | |
Will this go away? | 0:55:23 | 0:55:25 | |
Well, there is a visual therapist. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:28 | |
It's a fellow named Phil Webster. | 0:55:28 | 0:55:30 | |
He's a little unorthodox, | 0:55:30 | 0:55:31 | |
but I think he's probably our best bet, | 0:55:31 | 0:55:33 | |
considering the unique aspects of this case. | 0:55:33 | 0:55:36 | |
Now, I'll contact him right away, | 0:55:36 | 0:55:38 | |
but there's no guarantees. | 0:55:38 | 0:55:39 | |
He might be able to help us. | 0:55:39 | 0:55:41 | |
No guarantee? | 0:55:41 | 0:55:42 | |
Look, we are all on new ground here. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:45 | |
Let's try to be optimistic. | 0:55:45 | 0:55:47 | |
I mean, he can see. | 0:55:47 | 0:55:49 | |
Uh, hello. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:07 | |
Oh... | 0:56:10 | 0:56:12 | |
Ow. | 0:56:20 | 0:56:21 | |
Mm. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:31 | |
Mm! | 0:56:31 | 0:56:32 | |
Hello? | 0:56:34 | 0:56:35 | |
Amy? | 0:57:50 | 0:57:51 | |
No, it's Jen. | 0:57:54 | 0:57:56 | |
So, this is you. | 0:58:06 | 0:58:08 | |
This is me. | 0:58:09 | 0:58:12 | |
Mm. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:15 | |
Everything's gonna be all right | 0:58:18 | 0:58:19 | |
soon as we can get you home. | 0:58:19 | 0:58:21 | |
I'm not gonna go home. | 0:58:21 | 0:58:22 | |
I'm gonna stay right here in New York, | 0:58:22 | 0:58:24 | |
where the doctors are | 0:58:24 | 0:58:25 | |
and where they can take care of me. | 0:58:25 | 0:58:28 | |
I can't stay here, | 0:58:28 | 0:58:29 | |
and you can't go through this alone. | 0:58:29 | 0:58:33 | |
Who's gonna take care of... | 0:58:33 | 0:58:34 | |
Amy. | 0:58:38 | 0:58:39 | |
She's gonna look after you? | 0:58:42 | 0:58:46 | |
She doesn't know anything | 0:58:46 | 0:58:47 | |
about the blind. | 0:58:47 | 0:58:48 | |
But I'm not blind anymore, Jennie. | 0:58:48 | 0:58:51 | |
OK...two weeks. | 0:58:51 | 0:58:54 | |
No. Not one day. I'm not... | 0:58:54 | 0:58:58 | |
I'm not gonna do anything to lose her. | 0:58:58 | 0:59:01 | |
OK. | 0:59:06 | 0:59:07 | |
Hey. | 0:59:13 | 0:59:15 | |
Hey. | 0:59:15 | 0:59:16 | |
Virgil's finishing getting ready. | 0:59:17 | 0:59:20 | |
Would you mind walking me to my car? | 0:59:20 | 0:59:22 | |
Are you all right? | 0:59:22 | 0:59:23 | |
No. I'm scared to death. | 0:59:23 | 0:59:27 | |
I've spent my whole life | 0:59:27 | 0:59:29 | |
looking for holes he might fall in. | 0:59:29 | 0:59:32 | |
I'd run up ahead and cover them up. | 0:59:32 | 0:59:35 | |
Everywhere I look here, I see holes. | 0:59:35 | 0:59:39 | |
Well, hopefully, | 0:59:39 | 0:59:41 | |
he'll start seeing them for himself. | 0:59:40 | 0:59:43 | |
Believe me, I don't want him to get hurt | 0:59:43 | 0:59:45 | |
any more than you do. | 0:59:45 | 0:59:47 | |
You know what hurt Virgil the most | 0:59:47 | 0:59:49 | |
was his father leaving. | 0:59:49 | 0:59:52 | |
He thought it had to do with his blindness, | 0:59:51 | 0:59:54 | |
that somehow he hadn't tried hard enough, | 0:59:54 | 0:59:56 | |
or he could've been better. | 0:59:56 | 0:59:57 | |
I'm not going anywhere, Jennie. | 1:00:00 | 1:00:02 | |
Amy, a blind child can't see those close to them, | 1:00:02 | 1:00:04 | |
so they never learn how to reach out. | 1:00:04 | 1:00:06 | |
If he's unhappy or in pain or confused, | 1:00:06 | 1:00:10 | |
Virgil won't reach out. | 1:00:10 | 1:00:11 | |
He goes behind a wall, a place we can't go to. | 1:00:11 | 1:00:16 | |
He just needs to have somebody be there for him | 1:00:16 | 1:00:18 | |
when he comes back. | 1:00:18 | 1:00:20 | |
OK. | 1:00:23 | 1:00:24 | |
OK... | 1:00:35 | 1:00:38 | |
well, this is it. This is home. | 1:00:38 | 1:00:42 | |
Oh, god! | 1:00:42 | 1:00:43 | |
Whoa. You OK? | 1:00:43 | 1:00:46 | |
Stop the world. I want to get off. | 1:00:46 | 1:00:47 | |
We'll go slow. What's that? | 1:00:47 | 1:00:49 | |
Oh, it's a shadow, sweetie. | 1:00:49 | 1:00:51 | |
It's nothing. | 1:00:51 | 1:00:52 | |
You can walk right through it, see? | 1:00:52 | 1:00:54 | |
Hey, Virgil. It's Ethan. | 1:00:57 | 1:00:59 | |
Hey. | 1:00:58 | 1:01:00 | |
Are you all right? You look kind of funny. | 1:01:00 | 1:01:02 | |
I can see what you look like from here. | 1:01:02 | 1:01:04 | |
OK, we're gonna go upstairs now, Ethan. | 1:01:05 | 1:01:08 | |
See you later. Hey, Zach! | 1:01:08 | 1:01:09 | |
I feel like such a child. | 1:01:09 | 1:01:12 | |
It's OK. | 1:01:12 | 1:01:13 | |
We're gonna find that Webster guy, | 1:01:13 | 1:01:14 | |
and we're gonna get his help, OK? | 1:01:14 | 1:01:16 | |
Just keep your eyes closed | 1:01:23 | 1:01:24 | |
for one second longer, OK? | 1:01:24 | 1:01:25 | |
OK. | 1:01:25 | 1:01:26 | |
OK. | 1:01:30 | 1:01:32 | |
Ohh... | 1:01:32 | 1:01:33 | |
Oh, no. | 1:01:33 | 1:01:34 | |
I'm sorry, sweetie. | 1:01:34 | 1:01:35 | |
No, I want to see it. | 1:01:35 | 1:01:37 | |
It's too much. | 1:01:37 | 1:01:38 | |
Does this look like this all the time? | 1:01:40 | 1:01:42 | |
No. Oh, god... | 1:01:41 | 1:01:43 | |
while we were at the hospital, | 1:01:43 | 1:01:45 | |
I asked Betsy to come over here. | 1:01:45 | 1:01:47 | |
I wanted to make it special. | 1:01:47 | 1:01:48 | |
I'm sorry. | 1:01:48 | 1:01:51 | |
Maybe I better sit down for a second. | 1:01:51 | 1:01:52 | |
I'm kind of dizzy. | 1:01:52 | 1:01:54 | |
I'm sorry. | 1:01:58 | 1:01:59 | |
No...it's great. | 1:01:59 | 1:02:01 | |
Let me just look at you, though. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:02 | |
Can you see me? | 1:02:05 | 1:02:07 | |
Yes. | 1:02:07 | 1:02:08 | |
Can I see all of you? | 1:02:11 | 1:02:13 | |
All of me? | 1:02:13 | 1:02:14 | |
Like, ALL of me? Oh, god. | 1:02:14 | 1:02:18 | |
If you want to. | 1:02:18 | 1:02:20 | |
I'm so nervous. I can't believe this. | 1:02:20 | 1:02:21 | |
What if you don't like what you see? | 1:02:21 | 1:02:23 | |
Oh, that's impossible. | 1:02:23 | 1:02:27 | |
I'll close my eyes. | 1:02:27 | 1:02:29 | |
No, no, no, no. | 1:02:29 | 1:02:31 | |
This is your first seeing day. | 1:02:31 | 1:02:32 | |
You have to see everything. | 1:02:32 | 1:02:34 | |
MAN: All right, OK. Virgil, it says here | 1:03:47 | 1:03:50 | |
you went blind as a child | 1:03:50 | 1:03:52 | |
before you developed a visual vocabulary. | 1:03:52 | 1:03:54 | |
You have a problem with depth of field, | 1:03:54 | 1:03:57 | |
space, shape, size, and distance. | 1:03:57 | 1:04:00 | |
It's fascinating. | 1:04:00 | 1:04:01 | |
There's only been 20 cases of this | 1:04:01 | 1:04:03 | |
in the last 200 years. | 1:04:03 | 1:04:05 | |
Basically, your eyes work, but your brain | 1:04:05 | 1:04:07 | |
hasn't learned to process the information. | 1:04:07 | 1:04:11 | |
You are mentally blind. | 1:04:11 | 1:04:13 | |
Neurologists call this "visual agnosia". | 1:04:13 | 1:04:15 | |
Well, I call it pretty screwed up. | 1:04:15 | 1:04:18 | |
That's a much better term. | 1:04:18 | 1:04:19 | |
I'll bring it up at the next meeting. | 1:04:19 | 1:04:22 | |
Although it would be difficult | 1:04:22 | 1:04:23 | |
to get grant money | 1:04:23 | 1:04:25 | |
for the "pretty screwed up foundation." | 1:04:25 | 1:04:26 | |
I have something I'd like to read to you. | 1:04:27 | 1:04:30 | |
Oh, Rugalah? I made it myself. | 1:04:30 | 1:04:34 | |
Damn it. | 1:04:35 | 1:04:36 | |
Ah, my glasses - I can never find 'em. | 1:04:36 | 1:04:38 | |
Mrs Finster, help! | 1:04:38 | 1:04:41 | |
Thank you. Happens all the time. | 1:04:44 | 1:04:47 | |
OK. Alberto Valvo. | 1:04:47 | 1:04:50 | |
Sight restoration after long-term blindness. | 1:04:50 | 1:04:54 | |
Ah..."one must die as a blind person | 1:04:54 | 1:04:58 | |
"to be born again as a sighted person. | 1:04:58 | 1:05:01 | |
"However, it is the interim, | 1:05:01 | 1:05:04 | |
"the limbo between two worlds | 1:05:04 | 1:05:05 | |
"that is so terrible." | 1:05:05 | 1:05:07 | |
There you go, pal. You're in limbo. | 1:05:09 | 1:05:12 | |
What, that's it? Limbo? | 1:05:12 | 1:05:15 | |
That book doesn't have anything else | 1:05:15 | 1:05:17 | |
that might help us with Virgil's condition? | 1:05:17 | 1:05:19 | |
Limbo's not that bad. It's like New Jersey. | 1:05:19 | 1:05:22 | |
You can see where all the good stuff is happening. | 1:05:22 | 1:05:24 | |
You just have to get there. | 1:05:24 | 1:05:26 | |
I know, I know. | 1:05:26 | 1:05:27 | |
You were expecting Anne Bancroft - | 1:05:27 | 1:05:29 | |
a dramatic breakthrough out by the water pump. | 1:05:29 | 1:05:32 | |
I'm sorry. I'm just a professor. | 1:05:32 | 1:05:34 | |
I teach people how to teach the blind | 1:05:34 | 1:05:37 | |
how to become independent. | 1:05:36 | 1:05:38 | |
Unfortunately, there's no manual | 1:05:38 | 1:05:40 | |
on what you're going through. | 1:05:40 | 1:05:42 | |
I'd like to help, | 1:05:42 | 1:05:43 | |
but like the rest of things in life, | 1:05:43 | 1:05:45 | |
it's really up to you. | 1:05:45 | 1:05:47 | |
Are you crazy? I'm completely confused. | 1:05:48 | 1:05:51 | |
You said you'd like to help, | 1:05:51 | 1:05:53 | |
so we came here for help. | 1:05:53 | 1:05:55 | |
All right, all right. You want a lesson? | 1:05:55 | 1:05:58 | |
Yes. | 1:05:58 | 1:05:59 | |
All right... here we go. | 1:05:59 | 1:06:01 | |
Lesson number one... | 1:06:01 | 1:06:03 | |
Repeat after me. | 1:06:04 | 1:06:05 | |
The rain in Spain | 1:06:05 | 1:06:07 | |
stays main... Look, I'm kidding. | 1:06:07 | 1:06:10 | |
It's a joke. | 1:06:10 | 1:06:11 | |
What's this? | 1:06:13 | 1:06:15 | |
It's - it's an apple. | 1:06:18 | 1:06:21 | |
Good, good. You've now won the toaster oven. | 1:06:21 | 1:06:25 | |
OK... | 1:06:25 | 1:06:26 | |
What's this? | 1:06:30 | 1:06:31 | |
It's an apple. | 1:06:33 | 1:06:34 | |
Good, but is it an apple | 1:06:34 | 1:06:36 | |
or just a picture of an apple? | 1:06:36 | 1:06:39 | |
OK...so, er, this is a joke, right? | 1:06:44 | 1:06:48 | |
What are you saying, | 1:06:48 | 1:06:50 | |
that...my eyes lie? | 1:06:50 | 1:06:53 | |
Well, your eyesight | 1:06:53 | 1:06:54 | |
can and will play tricks on you. | 1:06:54 | 1:06:55 | |
No matter what I teach you, | 1:06:55 | 1:06:57 | |
no matter what exercises I could give you, | 1:06:57 | 1:06:59 | |
they'll still play tricks on you. | 1:06:59 | 1:07:00 | |
You've got to learn to trust your instincts. | 1:07:00 | 1:07:02 | |
I don't have any instincts. | 1:07:02 | 1:07:03 | |
My instinct is to close my eyes | 1:07:03 | 1:07:05 | |
and feel my way out of your office. | 1:07:05 | 1:07:07 | |
There you go. | 1:07:07 | 1:07:08 | |
That's a self- preservation instinct, | 1:07:08 | 1:07:10 | |
but you have others. | 1:07:10 | 1:07:11 | |
Look, you have to learn to see, | 1:07:11 | 1:07:13 | |
just like you learned to speak. | 1:07:13 | 1:07:16 | |
Perception, sight...life... | 1:07:16 | 1:07:19 | |
is about experience, about reaching out | 1:07:19 | 1:07:22 | |
and exploring the world for yourself. | 1:07:22 | 1:07:24 | |
It's not enough to just see. | 1:07:24 | 1:07:26 | |
We-we've gotta look as well. | 1:07:25 | 1:07:29 | |
DR AARON: Immediately following the operation, | 1:07:28 | 1:07:30 | |
the patient experienced extreme disorientation. | 1:07:30 | 1:07:36 | |
The images and colours had no meaning for him, | 1:07:36 | 1:07:38 | |
but now, just weeks after surgery, | 1:07:38 | 1:07:42 | |
Mr Adamson has mastered the ability | 1:07:42 | 1:07:44 | |
to define shape and distance, | 1:07:44 | 1:07:48 | |
giving him confidence to move about his environment. | 1:07:48 | 1:07:51 | |
However, he still becomes confused by new images, | 1:07:53 | 1:07:55 | |
just as a child would be fascinated | 1:07:55 | 1:07:59 | |
by everyday objects we may take for granted. | 1:07:59 | 1:08:02 | |
Look up. | 1:08:02 | 1:08:04 | |
What is it? | 1:08:05 | 1:08:06 | |
It's art. Dubuffet. | 1:08:06 | 1:08:10 | |
This is art? | 1:08:10 | 1:08:13 | |
Oh, now that has to be art. Look at that. | 1:08:13 | 1:08:15 | |
That is beautiful. | 1:08:15 | 1:08:17 | |
No, that's just somebody being destructive. | 1:08:19 | 1:08:23 | |
It says "pig shit". | 1:08:23 | 1:08:25 | |
'And though his progress is steady,' | 1:08:25 | 1:08:27 | |
Virgil is still very reliant on his touch | 1:08:27 | 1:08:31 | |
to interpret objects in his surroundings... | 1:08:31 | 1:08:33 | |
It's a dog! | 1:08:33 | 1:08:35 | |
I'm sorry. Yes. | 1:08:38 | 1:08:39 | |
'..and his understanding of three-dimensionality | 1:08:40 | 1:08:42 | |
'is very limited and confounding to him.' | 1:08:42 | 1:08:45 | |
Oh, wow, listen to the bells. | 1:08:45 | 1:08:48 | |
What's that? That lump. | 1:08:48 | 1:08:49 | |
Oh, that's-that's a homeless person. | 1:08:52 | 1:08:54 | |
You just walked right past him. | 1:08:54 | 1:08:56 | |
You didn't even look. | 1:08:56 | 1:08:58 | |
Well, I mean, some things | 1:08:58 | 1:09:01 | |
you choose not to see. | 1:09:01 | 1:09:02 | |
You can't look at everything, Virgil. | 1:09:02 | 1:09:04 | |
I don't want to look away. I want to see. | 1:09:04 | 1:09:06 | |
I want to see everything. | 1:09:06 | 1:09:07 | |
What the hell you lookin' at? Get outta here! | 1:09:07 | 1:09:10 | |
DR AARON: He also has great difficulty with scanning. | 1:09:10 | 1:09:13 | |
Basically, that's putting the whole picture together. | 1:09:13 | 1:09:15 | |
I've got over ten years' experience at Bear Mountain | 1:09:20 | 1:09:23 | |
in all kinds, really - | 1:09:23 | 1:09:24 | |
deep tissue, therapeutic, shiatsu. | 1:09:24 | 1:09:27 | |
That's fine. Let's get you started. | 1:09:27 | 1:09:29 | |
Here's your I-9, W-4, workman's comp - | 1:09:29 | 1:09:32 | |
basic employment package. | 1:09:32 | 1:09:33 | |
Just fill these out, | 1:09:33 | 1:09:34 | |
take 'em over to accounting at the back of the gym. | 1:09:34 | 1:09:37 | |
Oh, gosh, you know what? I forgot my glasses. | 1:09:40 | 1:09:42 | |
I'm just gonna take these home and fill it out, | 1:09:42 | 1:09:45 | |
and I'll just bring it back, OK? | 1:09:45 | 1:09:47 | |
All right. | 1:09:47 | 1:09:48 | |
This includes his ability to read, | 1:09:48 | 1:09:51 | |
meaning he has a total lack of visual memory. | 1:09:51 | 1:09:54 | |
Sweetie, it might help if you kind of take... | 1:10:00 | 1:10:04 | |
No, it won't help, Amy. | 1:10:04 | 1:10:05 | |
I told you before, it's not helping. | 1:10:05 | 1:10:07 | |
I know what I'm supposed to do. | 1:10:07 | 1:10:08 | |
I just can't do it, OK? I can't read. | 1:10:08 | 1:10:10 | |
By the time I get to the last letter, | 1:10:10 | 1:10:12 | |
I can't remember the first one. | 1:10:12 | 1:10:14 | |
I can't fill out a damn application. | 1:10:14 | 1:10:15 | |
I have to have somebody else do it for me | 1:10:15 | 1:10:17 | |
like I was a blind person, but I'm not blind. | 1:10:17 | 1:10:20 | |
Your helping isn't helping. | 1:10:20 | 1:10:21 | |
OK. I'm sorry. | 1:10:24 | 1:10:26 | |
'This is an unexpected physiological flaw' | 1:10:27 | 1:10:30 | |
and one that we hope Virgil will be able to overcome. | 1:10:30 | 1:10:34 | |
Well, that's it for today. Thank you. | 1:10:36 | 1:10:39 | |
Mr Adamson, I'm from NYN. Can you give us a little idea of what you're going through? | 1:10:42 | 1:10:48 | |
That really hurts. | 1:10:48 | 1:10:50 | |
- Do you need that light? - Yes. | 1:10:50 | 1:10:53 | |
Did the operation meet with your expectations? | 1:10:53 | 1:10:57 | |
PHONE RINGS | 1:10:57 | 1:10:59 | |
Information? | 1:10:59 | 1:11:01 | |
Pine Crest, New York. Jenny Adamson. | 1:11:01 | 1:11:04 | |
Um...here, maybe... try this. | 1:11:05 | 1:11:08 | |
What's that? | 1:11:08 | 1:11:09 | |
You tell me. | 1:11:09 | 1:11:11 | |
I don't know. It's a crocodile. | 1:11:12 | 1:11:14 | |
Come on, concentrate. | 1:11:14 | 1:11:16 | |
I don't want to concentrate, Amy. | 1:11:16 | 1:11:18 | |
Can't we just have one meal where it's not about my eyes? | 1:11:18 | 1:11:21 | |
I just want to sit here and eat. | 1:11:21 | 1:11:24 | |
I'm just trying to be helpful. | 1:11:24 | 1:11:26 | |
Let's talk about something else. | 1:11:26 | 1:11:28 | |
How was your day? What happened? | 1:11:28 | 1:11:31 | |
Fine. Nothing. | 1:11:31 | 1:11:33 | |
No. We were invited to a party tomorrow night - | 1:11:33 | 1:11:37 | |
Duncan's birthday. | 1:11:37 | 1:11:39 | |
Is that it? | 1:11:40 | 1:11:42 | |
What do you mean, "is that it?" | 1:11:43 | 1:11:45 | |
I'm telling you something | 1:11:45 | 1:11:47 | |
I thought maybe you'd have a response to. | 1:11:47 | 1:11:50 | |
I'm sorry. Is that not enough? | 1:11:50 | 1:11:51 | |
OK. I'll go. Uh... | 1:11:53 | 1:11:57 | |
why haven't you finished your sculpture? | 1:11:57 | 1:12:00 | |
Where did that come from? | 1:12:01 | 1:12:03 | |
I want to know. I'm there every day, | 1:12:02 | 1:12:04 | |
and I, um, think it's perfect, that it's beautiful, | 1:12:04 | 1:12:07 | |
but you said you didn't like it, | 1:12:07 | 1:12:09 | |
and that it wasn't finished, and the way you said it | 1:12:09 | 1:12:12 | |
made me think that you never would, so that's why I'm asking. | 1:12:11 | 1:12:14 | |
Look, it's something I care a lot about, | 1:12:16 | 1:12:18 | |
and I can't get right. | 1:12:18 | 1:12:19 | |
It's something I see in my head, | 1:12:19 | 1:12:20 | |
and I can't do it right. | 1:12:20 | 1:12:22 | |
It's beautiful, and I can't match it. | 1:12:22 | 1:12:23 | |
I'm failing it. | 1:12:23 | 1:12:25 | |
So...maybe I'm not an artist. | 1:12:25 | 1:12:27 | |
HE SIGHS | 1:12:30 | 1:12:31 | |
What's that? | 1:12:32 | 1:12:34 | |
It's a lobster. | 1:12:37 | 1:12:39 | |
People eat this? | 1:12:40 | 1:12:41 | |
OK, measuring cup. | 1:12:44 | 1:12:46 | |
Try again. | 1:12:46 | 1:12:47 | |
Hey, you cheated! | 1:12:47 | 1:12:50 | |
You told me you couldn't touch. | 1:12:50 | 1:12:52 | |
Sometimes you have to touch. | 1:12:52 | 1:12:53 | |
DOORBELL RINGS | 1:12:53 | 1:12:55 | |
Cheese grater. | 1:12:55 | 1:12:56 | |
Hello? | 1:12:59 | 1:13:00 | |
It's me. | 1:13:00 | 1:13:02 | |
Jenny! | 1:13:02 | 1:13:04 | |
Hi. | 1:13:04 | 1:13:06 | |
What are you doing here? | 1:13:06 | 1:13:07 | |
You're being so mysterious. Just tell me why we're here. | 1:13:07 | 1:13:11 | |
Well...um... | 1:13:11 | 1:13:13 | |
our father's here. | 1:13:13 | 1:13:15 | |
What? | 1:13:15 | 1:13:16 | |
I recognised his voice the minute I answered the phone. | 1:13:16 | 1:13:20 | |
Which one is he? | 1:13:20 | 1:13:21 | |
There he is. With the clipboard and phone. | 1:13:22 | 1:13:26 | |
No, I can't see him. | 1:13:26 | 1:13:28 | |
Yes, you can. He's our father. | 1:13:28 | 1:13:32 | |
He heard about the operation and asked to see you. | 1:13:32 | 1:13:35 | |
I'm not ready. | 1:13:35 | 1:13:36 | |
No, Jenny. | 1:13:36 | 1:13:37 | |
Virgil? | 1:14:03 | 1:14:05 | |
Hi. | 1:14:15 | 1:14:17 | |
Hi. | 1:14:17 | 1:14:18 | |
Were you asleep? | 1:14:19 | 1:14:22 | |
No, I just... | 1:14:22 | 1:14:24 | |
forget about the light sometimes. | 1:14:24 | 1:14:27 | |
I've been thinking about that party, and... | 1:14:55 | 1:14:59 | |
we don't have to go if you don't want to. | 1:14:59 | 1:15:04 | |
It's your partner's birthday party. You want me to meet your friends. | 1:15:04 | 1:15:09 | |
Yeah. | 1:15:11 | 1:15:12 | |
DISCO SONG PLAYING | 1:15:15 | 1:15:17 | |
A glass of red or white? | 1:15:26 | 1:15:27 | |
Which one's red? | 1:15:30 | 1:15:31 | |
That's red. That's white. | 1:15:31 | 1:15:34 | |
That's the white. You want white? | 1:15:35 | 1:15:36 | |
# I need it now or never | 1:15:38 | 1:15:41 | |

# I need it now or never... # | 1:15:45 | 1:15:49 | |
Quiet! Shh! | 1:15:49 | 1:15:50 | |
Be quiet, everybody. He's coming. | 1:15:50 | 1:15:51 | |
He's coming. Kill the lights. | 1:15:51 | 1:15:53 | |
Kill the lights. | 1:15:53 | 1:15:54 | |
VIRGIL: What's happening? | 1:15:54 | 1:15:55 | |
They're turning off the lights for the surprise. | 1:15:55 | 1:15:58 | |
What? | 1:16:01 | 1:16:02 | |
Nothing. Just a hair out of place. | 1:16:02 | 1:16:03 | |
What is this? | 1:16:06 | 1:16:07 | |
What-you didn't? | 1:16:07 | 1:16:09 | |
ALL: Surprise! | 1:16:09 | 1:16:12 | |
Is he all right? | 1:16:15 | 1:16:17 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:16:17 | 1:16:18 | |
Yeah. He's just kidding around. | 1:16:18 | 1:16:19 | |
He always plays jokes. | 1:16:19 | 1:16:20 | |
Save me some cake. | 1:16:20 | 1:16:23 | |
FAUCET RUNNING | 1:16:23 | 1:16:25 | |
Hey, you. I've been looking for you. | 1:16:30 | 1:16:31 | |
How's it all going, huh? | 1:16:31 | 1:16:32 | |
OK. | 1:16:32 | 1:16:34 | |
He's progressing slowly, | 1:16:34 | 1:16:35 | |
but he's doing the best he can. | 1:16:35 | 1:16:37 | |
Actually, I was asking about the mall designs, | 1:16:37 | 1:16:39 | |
but, er, it's OK. | 1:16:39 | 1:16:41 | |
It's understandable. | 1:16:41 | 1:16:42 | |
So how is it going? | 1:16:42 | 1:16:44 | |
It's not quite what you expected, is it? | 1:16:44 | 1:16:47 | |
What do you mean? | 1:16:47 | 1:16:49 | |
I mean, you like this guy, you want to help him out. | 1:16:49 | 1:16:53 | |
Sometimes good intentions aren't enough. | 1:16:52 | 1:16:55 | |
I mean, look at me. I'm still a jerk. | 1:16:55 | 1:16:58 | |
Yeah, you are. | 1:16:58 | 1:17:00 | |
Well, happy birthday, jerk. | 1:17:03 | 1:17:04 | |
Aah. So, er, of course you know | 1:17:12 | 1:17:14 | |
that we are expected in Atlanta tomorrow | 1:17:14 | 1:17:16 | |
with the completed plans. | 1:17:15 | 1:17:17 | |
Duncan, I can't go. | 1:17:17 | 1:17:19 | |
There's just too much going on. | 1:17:19 | 1:17:20 | |
Hey. | 1:17:21 | 1:17:23 | |
Virgil, I wanted you to meet Duncan. | 1:17:23 | 1:17:25 | |
Duncan, Virgil. | 1:17:25 | 1:17:26 | |
Hey, Virgil. How's it goin'? | 1:17:25 | 1:17:27 | |
Congratulations, man. It's good to see you. | 1:17:27 | 1:17:29 | |
Well, these days, it's good to see anything. | 1:17:29 | 1:17:31 | |
Come on, Duncan. Let's dance. | 1:17:31 | 1:17:33 | |
Ah, duty calls. | 1:17:33 | 1:17:34 | |
Listen, Amy, sorry about Atlanta. | 1:17:34 | 1:17:37 | |
Could've used you. | 1:17:37 | 1:17:38 | |
What was - | 1:17:42 | 1:17:43 | |
what is that - Atlanta? | 1:17:43 | 1:17:45 | |
Oh, he tried to spring a meeting on me for tomorrow, | 1:17:45 | 1:17:47 | |
but I told him I wouldn't go. | 1:17:47 | 1:17:49 | |
Did you change your hair? | 1:17:49 | 1:17:52 | |
I just combed it. | 1:17:52 | 1:17:53 | |
# Sometimes my arms get tired | 1:17:53 | 1:17:55 | |
# Pushing obstacles aside | 1:17:55 | 1:17:58 | |
# But still I strive | 1:17:58 | 1:18:00 | |
# With not much to show... # | 1:18:00 | 1:18:01 | |
Do you think what Webster said is true, | 1:18:01 | 1:18:03 | |
that the eyes lie to us? | 1:18:03 | 1:18:05 | |
No, I don't. | 1:18:07 | 1:18:09 | |
So, what does you kissing Duncan say? | 1:18:09 | 1:18:12 | |
Oh, god, no... | 1:18:12 | 1:18:14 | |
You kissed him, right? | 1:18:14 | 1:18:15 | |
Yeah... What does that say? | 1:18:15 | 1:18:16 | |
It says it's his birthday. | 1:18:16 | 1:18:17 | |
I haven't seen a kiss like that before. | 1:18:17 | 1:18:21 | |
Well, that's what a birthday kiss looks like. | 1:18:21 | 1:18:25 | |
What's this look mean? | 1:18:25 | 1:18:27 | |
What look? | 1:18:27 | 1:18:28 | |
This look. You look strange. | 1:18:28 | 1:18:30 | |
I don't understand what your face means. | 1:18:30 | 1:18:31 | |
Nothing. | 1:18:31 | 1:18:32 | |
I've never seen it before. What does it mean? | 1:18:32 | 1:18:34 | |
It doesn't mean anything. We're just talking. | 1:18:34 | 1:18:37 | |
I'm just looking back at you. It doesn't mean anything. | 1:18:37 | 1:18:40 | |
Let's dance. | 1:18:40 | 1:18:42 | |
# I believe | 1:18:42 | 1:18:46 | |
# There's a purpose for me | 1:18:46 | 1:18:48 | |
# I need a purpose | 1:18:48 | 1:18:51 | |
# I need a purpose to live | 1:18:51 | 1:18:53 | |
# Oh, yes, I know, I know... # | 1:18:53 | 1:18:54 | |

Don't you want to dance anymore? | 1:19:01 | 1:19:03 | |
Hey, we could try this. It's fun. | 1:19:03 | 1:19:04 | |
# It's fun to stay at the YMCA... # | 1:19:04 | 1:19:07 | |
They're just doing letters. | 1:19:07 | 1:19:09 | |
Do you want to try? | 1:19:09 | 1:19:11 | |
Just... | 1:19:11 | 1:19:12 | |
You just... | 1:19:13 | 1:19:14 | |
I don't belong here. | 1:19:14 | 1:19:16 | |
# It's fun to stay at the YMCA... # | 1:19:16 | 1:19:19 | |
It's just a stupid dance, Virgil. | 1:19:19 | 1:19:21 | |
Hey, look... | 1:19:21 | 1:19:22 | |
No, fuck looking! | 1:19:22 | 1:19:24 | |
Oh, my God. | 1:19:26 | 1:19:28 | |
Take me home. | 1:19:28 | 1:19:29 | |
Are you OK? | 1:19:29 | 1:19:31 | |
Honey, are you all right? | 1:19:33 | 1:19:35 | |
Just take me home. | 1:19:35 | 1:19:37 | |
PAPER RUSTLING | 1:19:56 | 1:19:58 | |

Well, gotta get it right. | 1:20:05 | 1:20:09 | |
Besides, my plane leaves first thing in the morning. | 1:20:09 | 1:20:12 | |
Plane? | 1:20:12 | 1:20:13 | |
I didn't think you were going. | 1:20:14 | 1:20:16 | |
I'll only be gone a day or two. | 1:20:18 | 1:20:20 | |
I've given you problems, huh? | 1:20:23 | 1:20:25 | |
What... | 1:20:25 | 1:20:27 | |
this or us? | 1:20:27 | 1:20:30 | |
Us. | 1:20:30 | 1:20:32 | |
Amy, I... | 1:20:34 | 1:20:35 | |
I wake up every morning, | 1:20:35 | 1:20:36 | |
and I... | 1:20:36 | 1:20:38 | |
stare and stare... | 1:20:38 | 1:20:40 | |
..and I'm looking at a total stranger. | 1:20:43 | 1:20:47 | |
You don't see me? | 1:20:47 | 1:20:49 | |
I was talking about me. | 1:20:49 | 1:20:53 | |
You, I feel like... | 1:20:54 | 1:20:56 | |
..I saw you better when I was blind. | 1:20:58 | 1:21:01 | |
Well, you're not blind anymore, | 1:21:00 | 1:21:02 | |
and I'm sorry if that disappoints you. | 1:21:02 | 1:21:05 | |
TYPING ON KEYBOARD | 1:21:05 | 1:21:06 | |
Look, I'm done here. | 1:21:06 | 1:21:07 | |
It's late, and I've got to get up early... | 1:21:07 | 1:21:11 | |
and I'm gonna go to bed | 1:21:11 | 1:21:12 | |
before we both say things that we don't mean. | 1:21:12 | 1:21:14 | |
MAN: Come on, Katie. Mom's waiting. | 1:21:42 | 1:21:43 | |
Bye. | 1:21:47 | 1:21:49 | |
Here you go. | 1:21:48 | 1:21:50 | |
Hey, Virgil. | 1:21:49 | 1:21:51 | |
So you came crawling back, huh? | 1:21:51 | 1:21:53 | |
Bye. | 1:21:53 | 1:21:54 | |
You want to join us? | 1:21:56 | 1:21:57 | |
I could use your help here. | 1:21:57 | 1:21:58 | |
Oh, no. I'll just... | 1:21:58 | 1:22:00 | |
wait here till you get done. | 1:22:00 | 1:22:01 | |
OK. Casey? | 1:22:01 | 1:22:02 | |
Come on. Let's call it a day. | 1:22:02 | 1:22:04 | |
VIRGIL: How is it working with the kids? | 1:22:07 | 1:22:10 | |
Aren't they great? They're the best, | 1:22:10 | 1:22:11 | |
and they're the easiest | 1:22:11 | 1:22:13 | |
because they're so eager | 1:22:13 | 1:22:15 | |
to make their way in the world. | 1:22:15 | 1:22:16 | |
It's the adults who get stubborn. | 1:22:16 | 1:22:19 | |
Where did you go to blind school? | 1:22:19 | 1:22:20 | |
I didn't. | 1:22:20 | 1:22:21 | |
My father, er... | 1:22:21 | 1:22:23 | |
I was just in regular school. | 1:22:23 | 1:22:25 | |
I picked it up on my own. | 1:22:25 | 1:22:27 | |
Oh. Great. | 1:22:27 | 1:22:29 | |
Apple. | 1:22:36 | 1:22:37 | |
We've gotta move on to vegetables. | 1:22:37 | 1:22:40 | |
Come on. I got a place for you. | 1:22:40 | 1:22:42 | |
Should relax those eyes a bit. | 1:22:42 | 1:22:44 | |
VIRGIL: Seeing sucks. | 1:22:46 | 1:22:48 | |
You gotta be kidding. | 1:22:48 | 1:22:50 | |
It sucks. | 1:22:50 | 1:22:51 | |
You can say that sitting in these prime viewing seats? | 1:22:51 | 1:22:54 | |
Yes. | 1:22:54 | 1:22:55 | |
- Get your head examined. - I'm serious. | 1:22:55 | 1:22:56 | |
When I was blind, I couldn't see. | 1:22:58 | 1:22:59 | |
Don't laugh. | 1:22:59 | 1:23:01 | |
I mean that people don't have any expectations then. | 1:23:01 | 1:23:03 | |
They know what you are - | 1:23:03 | 1:23:05 | |
or they think they know - | 1:23:05 | 1:23:06 | |
and that's it. | 1:23:06 | 1:23:07 | |
They get on with it. They deal with it. | 1:23:07 | 1:23:09 | |
Yeah. Didn't exactly get what you counted on here, did you? | 1:23:09 | 1:23:12 | |
Oh, boy... | 1:23:12 | 1:23:13 | |
and now - here's where it gets complicated - | 1:23:13 | 1:23:15 | |
now I can see, | 1:23:15 | 1:23:16 | |
but I don't know what I can see, | 1:23:16 | 1:23:18 | |
and then, because your eyes play tricks on you, | 1:23:18 | 1:23:21 | |
you see things that you don't want to see... | 1:23:21 | 1:23:24 | |
like jealousy. | 1:23:24 | 1:23:26 | |
What's most important to you right now? Seeing, or... | 1:23:27 | 1:23:31 | |
Amy. | 1:23:31 | 1:23:33 | |
As I thought. | 1:23:33 | 1:23:34 | |
We're not talking eyes, but heart. | 1:23:34 | 1:23:37 | |
Look, the other night I was watching TV - | 1:23:37 | 1:23:40 | |
one of the disadvantages of regaining sight, by the way - | 1:23:40 | 1:23:44 | |
and there was this famous pianist. | 1:23:44 | 1:23:46 | |
A what? | 1:23:46 | 1:23:48 | |
Piano player. | 1:23:48 | 1:23:49 | |
He was about 6-700 years old. | 1:23:49 | 1:23:51 | |
- Is this going to be a long story? - Could be. | 1:23:51 | 1:23:54 | |
They bring out this 7-year old prodigy. | 1:23:54 | 1:23:56 | |
He plays Chopin backwards and forwards, | 1:23:56 | 1:23:59 | |
with one hand tied behind his back, spinning plates. | 1:23:59 | 1:24:01 | |
And the old master listened appreciatively. | 1:24:01 | 1:24:06 | |
At the end, he said, "You played the piano very well. | 1:24:06 | 1:24:10 | |
"Maybe one day you will learn to make music." | 1:24:10 | 1:24:14 | |
I think I know what you're saying. | 1:24:16 | 1:24:18 | |
I don't know if I'll ever be able to make music. | 1:24:18 | 1:24:23 | |
Here. See my hand? | 1:24:23 | 1:24:25 | |
Yeah. | 1:24:25 | 1:24:26 | |
All right. | 1:24:26 | 1:24:27 | |
Now focus on it. | 1:24:27 | 1:24:29 | |
Forget about everything else - | 1:24:29 | 1:24:30 | |
and that will be difficult here - | 1:24:30 | 1:24:33 | |
but just look. | 1:24:33 | 1:24:34 | |
And your point is? | 1:24:38 | 1:24:39 | |
OK. So that's what, seeing? | 1:24:39 | 1:24:42 | |
No, grasshopper. | 1:24:42 | 1:24:43 | |
That's looking. Looking. | 1:24:43 | 1:24:46 | |
You watched the fist. | 1:24:46 | 1:24:47 | |
You see it's going to hit you, | 1:24:47 | 1:24:48 | |
but did you want it to hit you? | 1:24:48 | 1:24:50 | |
No. No. That's looking. | 1:24:50 | 1:24:51 | |
Virgil, my advice after three beers - | 1:24:51 | 1:24:53 | |
you'll see a lot, but none of that matters | 1:24:53 | 1:24:55 | |
if you lose sight of what you want. | 1:24:55 | 1:24:57 | |
I love it. | 1:25:01 | 1:25:03 | |
But I don't care for the trees. | 1:25:06 | 1:25:10 | |
I think we should lose them. | 1:25:13 | 1:25:15 | |

The man just doesn't care for trees. I don't know. | 1:25:31 | 1:25:35 | |
They were the best part of the location. | 1:25:35 | 1:25:39 | |
We'll have to change them, that's all. | 1:25:39 | 1:25:42 | |
You'll come up with something better. | 1:25:42 | 1:25:44 | |
Hey, um... | 1:25:45 | 1:25:47 | |
let me buy you a drink, huh? | 1:25:47 | 1:25:49 | |
Get those creative juices flowing. | 1:25:49 | 1:25:52 | |
Oh, I don't know. | 1:25:52 | 1:25:54 | |
Come on. No, look. | 1:25:54 | 1:25:55 | |
They're playing our song. | 1:25:55 | 1:25:57 | |
Mack The Knife was our song? | 1:25:57 | 1:25:59 | |
Come on. | 1:25:59 | 1:26:00 | |
# Easy come | 1:26:01 | 1:26:04 | |
# Easy go... # | 1:26:05 | 1:26:08 | |
See? | 1:26:10 | 1:26:12 | |
Not so bad, huh? | 1:26:12 | 1:26:14 | |
Not so bad. | 1:26:14 | 1:26:17 | |
It's nice dancing together again. | 1:26:21 | 1:26:24 | |
Yeah. | 1:26:25 | 1:26:27 | |
Remember the first time? | 1:26:30 | 1:26:32 | |
Your sister's wedding in Connecticut? | 1:26:34 | 1:26:38 | |
Yeah. | 1:26:38 | 1:26:40 | |
It was beautiful with all those red leaves falling. | 1:26:40 | 1:26:45 | |
I'd love to go back. | 1:26:45 | 1:26:47 | |
So would I. | 1:26:47 | 1:26:49 | |
So, what happened to us, Amy? | 1:26:52 | 1:26:53 | |
Why'd you give up on us? | 1:26:53 | 1:26:55 | |
I don't know. | 1:26:56 | 1:26:57 | |
I think we... did it too fast. | 1:26:57 | 1:27:00 | |
You know? I was just a kid then... | 1:27:00 | 1:27:02 | |
falling in love with architecture. | 1:27:02 | 1:27:05 | |
I never fell in love with architecture, but... | 1:27:05 | 1:27:07 | |
I know I fell in love with you. | 1:27:07 | 1:27:09 | |
That's bullshit. | 1:27:10 | 1:27:12 | |
Well, hey. It used to work. | 1:27:12 | 1:27:15 | |
THEY LAUGH | 1:27:15 | 1:27:17 | |
# Easy go | 1:27:20 | 1:27:25 | |

Oh, god. I'm sorry. I can't do this. | 1:27:35 | 1:27:39 | |
This is wrong. I have to go home. | 1:27:39 | 1:27:41 | |
You have to go home? | 1:27:41 | 1:27:43 | |
To be a baby-sitter? | 1:27:45 | 1:27:48 | |
Don't say that. | 1:27:48 | 1:27:49 | |
Amy. | 1:27:54 | 1:27:56 | |
# Easy come | 1:27:57 | 1:28:00 | |
# Easy go. # | 1:28:02 | 1:28:08 | |
Virgil? | 1:28:13 | 1:28:14 | |
Virgil. | 1:28:22 | 1:28:24 | |
He's gone, Amy. | 1:28:24 | 1:28:25 | |
Gone? Gone where? | 1:28:25 | 1:28:27 | |
The park. Said he was looking for something. | 1:28:27 | 1:28:30 | |
Virgil! | 1:28:48 | 1:28:49 | |
Hey, Virgil! | 1:28:51 | 1:28:53 | |
HONKING | 1:28:57 | 1:28:58 | |
Virgil, watch out! Watch out! | 1:28:58 | 1:29:01 | |
What are you doing? What are you doing? | 1:29:04 | 1:29:07 | |
I was watching the cab as it changed | 1:29:07 | 1:29:09 | |
and got closer to me. | 1:29:09 | 1:29:10 | |
It's perspective. | 1:29:10 | 1:29:12 | |
Yeah, but you're gonna get yourself killed | 1:29:12 | 1:29:14 | |
doing that in the middle of the street. | 1:29:14 | 1:29:16 | |
I didn't mean to scare you. I'm sorry. | 1:29:16 | 1:29:19 | |
Oh, boy. | 1:29:21 | 1:29:23 | |
I went to the loft, and you weren't there, | 1:29:23 | 1:29:26 | |
and I thought that you had left. | 1:29:25 | 1:29:28 | |
I thought about it. | 1:29:28 | 1:29:30 | |
So I came out here... | 1:29:31 | 1:29:34 | |
to try and see the horizon | 1:29:34 | 1:29:36 | |
that you described so beautifully. | 1:29:35 | 1:29:38 | |
Oh. | 1:29:40 | 1:29:42 | |
Oh, well, you can't see it from here. | 1:29:42 | 1:29:44 | |
There's too many buildings. | 1:29:43 | 1:29:46 | |
Oh, but that doesn't mean it's not still here, right? | 1:29:46 | 1:29:49 | |
Just because you can't see it | 1:29:49 | 1:29:50 | |
doesn't mean it doesn't exist. | 1:29:50 | 1:29:52 | |
Right. | 1:29:52 | 1:29:53 | |
Just because you can't see things | 1:29:53 | 1:29:56 | |
doesn't mean that they don't exist. | 1:29:56 | 1:29:58 | |
I mean, that... | 1:29:58 | 1:29:59 | |
that's what faith is, right? | 1:29:59 | 1:30:01 | |
What's that look? | 1:30:04 | 1:30:05 | |
What does that look mean? That's a new look. | 1:30:05 | 1:30:08 | |
Virgil, I have to tell you something. | 1:30:09 | 1:30:13 | |
I was getting confused, | 1:30:12 | 1:30:14 | |
but that doesn't excuse how I've acted. | 1:30:14 | 1:30:19 | |
See, I thought I saw you | 1:30:19 | 1:30:21 | |
slipping further and further away from me. | 1:30:21 | 1:30:23 | |
And I didn't see that you were slipping away from me. | 1:30:23 | 1:30:27 | |
Amy, I, oh... | 1:30:27 | 1:30:30 | |
I don't know why I didn't tell you | 1:30:30 | 1:30:32 | |
but I want to say this. When... | 1:30:32 | 1:30:35 | |
Well, Jenny came to see me | 1:30:35 | 1:30:37 | |
and I went to see my father. | 1:30:37 | 1:30:39 | |
And I couldn't see him. | 1:30:39 | 1:30:42 | |
I was afraid. | 1:30:42 | 1:30:44 | |
Felt like I was letting him down. | 1:30:44 | 1:30:47 | |
Like I feel like I've let you down. | 1:30:47 | 1:30:50 | |
The only thing I ever wanted... | 1:30:50 | 1:30:54 | |
was to be whole... | 1:30:54 | 1:30:57 | |
not just to be able to ride a bike | 1:30:57 | 1:31:00 | |
or play in the playground like other kids | 1:31:00 | 1:31:03 | |
or go on a date... | 1:31:03 | 1:31:06 | |
but to be whole - | 1:31:08 | 1:31:09 | |
to be needed by somebody | 1:31:09 | 1:31:12 | |
like I needed them... | 1:31:12 | 1:31:14 | |
and the first time | 1:31:16 | 1:31:18 | |
I ever felt like that in my whole life was with you. | 1:31:18 | 1:31:21 | |
I know I have a lot to learn, | 1:31:24 | 1:31:27 | |
but I can see... | 1:31:27 | 1:31:29 | |
and I don't want you to give up on me. | 1:31:31 | 1:31:33 | |
I won't, Virgil. | 1:31:35 | 1:31:37 | |
When I was in Atlanta, | 1:31:40 | 1:31:41 | |
I realised how much that I need you... | 1:31:41 | 1:31:44 | |
and I want you to come home with me. | 1:31:46 | 1:31:48 | |
Up until the operation five weeks ago, | 1:31:51 | 1:31:54 | |
Virgil had been a touch person, | 1:31:54 | 1:31:58 | |
someone whose vocabulary, | 1:31:58 | 1:32:01 | |
whose whole sensibility, | 1:32:01 | 1:32:03 | |
whose picture of the world | 1:32:03 | 1:32:05 | |
is based on tactile, nonvisual terms, | 1:32:05 | 1:32:08 | |
but now as a sighted person, | 1:32:08 | 1:32:11 | |
by focusing single-mindedly on his goal, | 1:32:11 | 1:32:15 | |
Virgil has a newfound ability | 1:32:15 | 1:32:17 | |
to understand distance and shape, | 1:32:17 | 1:32:22 | |
colour, perspective... | 1:32:22 | 1:32:24 | |
and though there are still miles to go | 1:32:26 | 1:32:28 | |
in his learning process, | 1:32:28 | 1:32:29 | |
for all medical intents and purposes, | 1:32:29 | 1:32:31 | |
he is...becoming a seeing person. | 1:32:31 | 1:32:34 | |
Hey. | 1:32:34 | 1:32:35 | |
What? | 1:32:35 | 1:32:36 | |
You want me to see, don't you? | 1:32:36 | 1:32:38 | |
Aren't I supposed to look? | 1:32:38 | 1:32:39 | |
Oh, my God. | 1:32:39 | 1:32:41 | |
What? | 1:32:41 | 1:32:42 | |
She is so flirting with you. | 1:32:42 | 1:32:44 | |
What? | 1:32:44 | 1:32:46 | |
What's that look? | 1:32:46 | 1:32:47 | |
What look? | 1:32:47 | 1:32:48 | |
That look. You've got so many looks. | 1:32:48 | 1:32:51 | |
Uh, it was probably a jealous look. | 1:32:51 | 1:32:55 | |
It was the response to that look. | 1:32:58 | 1:33:00 | |
OK? All right. | 1:33:00 | 1:33:02 | |
You want to see my other looks? | 1:33:02 | 1:33:03 | |
OK. This is what sad looks like. | 1:33:03 | 1:33:07 | |
Here is jubilation. | 1:33:09 | 1:33:12 | |
Yippee! | 1:33:12 | 1:33:14 | |
Careful. | 1:33:14 | 1:33:15 | |
This is, er... | 1:33:15 | 1:33:16 | |
terrible fear. | 1:33:16 | 1:33:19 | |
Extreme suspicion. | 1:33:19 | 1:33:22 | |
It's all your fault. | 1:33:24 | 1:33:25 | |
I have an idea. | 1:33:25 | 1:33:27 | |
SHE BARKS LIKE A SEAL | 1:33:27 | 1:33:28 | |
Reow! | 1:33:31 | 1:33:34 | |
# The way you haunt my dreams | 1:33:34 | 1:33:38 | |
# No, no... # | 1:33:38 | 1:33:39 | |
This is... | 1:33:39 | 1:33:40 | |
"I love you." | 1:33:40 | 1:33:42 | |
Oh, this look I love. | 1:33:42 | 1:33:44 | |
# We may never, never meet again | 1:33:44 | 1:33:49 | |
# On the bumpy road to love | 1:33:49 | 1:33:55 | |
# Though I'll always, always keep the memory of... # | 1:33:55 | 1:34:00 | |
'Yesterday, the clouds!' | 1:34:01 | 1:34:04 | |
No. In the sky, not my eyes. | 1:34:04 | 1:34:07 | |
Oh, purple. | 1:34:07 | 1:34:09 | |
Purple is the most amazing colour. | 1:34:09 | 1:34:12 | |
And Amy said yesterday that we saw birds, | 1:34:12 | 1:34:15 | |
and, um... | 1:34:15 | 1:34:17 | |
um...what were they? | 1:34:17 | 1:34:18 | |
Pigeons. Pigeons. | 1:34:18 | 1:34:20 | |
Tell her about the fish market. | 1:34:19 | 1:34:21 | |
Dozens of them. | 1:34:21 | 1:34:22 | |
And the fish market. | 1:34:22 | 1:34:23 | |
Salmon and, er, crabs and octopus. | 1:34:23 | 1:34:26 | |
How does anyone eat an octopus? | 1:34:26 | 1:34:28 | |
OK. Now, I don't know when I'll be back, | 1:34:28 | 1:34:31 | |
but I'll call you soon. All right? | 1:34:31 | 1:34:33 | |
OK. | 1:34:33 | 1:34:35 | |
Me, too. Bye. | 1:34:35 | 1:34:36 | |
OK. Close your eyes. | 1:34:36 | 1:34:38 | |
Present. | 1:34:42 | 1:34:44 | |
A tie. | 1:34:44 | 1:34:47 | |
That's a large tie, too. | 1:34:46 | 1:34:49 | |
There's gonna be an opening for the lobby, | 1:34:51 | 1:34:53 | |
and they're gonna have a party, | 1:34:53 | 1:34:56 | |
and I thought that we could both dress up to celebrate | 1:34:56 | 1:34:58 | |
because it's your first time | 1:34:58 | 1:34:59 | |
seeing any of my work finished. | 1:34:59 | 1:35:00 | |
That's great. | 1:35:00 | 1:35:01 | |
What's the matter? | 1:35:05 | 1:35:06 | |
Nothing. It's - it's really great. | 1:35:06 | 1:35:09 | |
I like it a lot. | 1:35:09 | 1:35:11 | |
You sure? | 1:35:11 | 1:35:12 | |
It looks like it fits. | 1:35:12 | 1:35:14 | |
You look great in it. | 1:35:16 | 1:35:18 | |
Thanks. | 1:35:18 | 1:35:19 | |
Hey, Virg. | 1:35:45 | 1:35:47 | |
Virg? Where you goin'? | 1:35:47 | 1:35:49 | |
OK. | 1:35:58 | 1:35:59 | |
What does that mean? | 1:36:04 | 1:36:05 | |
What? | 1:36:05 | 1:36:06 | |
This, um...you did with your mouth. | 1:36:06 | 1:36:09 | |
What does that mean? | 1:36:09 | 1:36:10 | |
Well, er... | 1:36:10 | 1:36:11 | |
I'm only - | 1:36:11 | 1:36:13 | |
I'm registering sparks of activity - | 1:36:13 | 1:36:15 | |
retinal sparks - followed by nothing. | 1:36:15 | 1:36:20 | |
Uh, how long has this been going on? | 1:36:20 | 1:36:22 | |
Couple of days. | 1:36:22 | 1:36:24 | |
Have a seat. | 1:36:24 | 1:36:26 | |
Your, er... | 1:36:28 | 1:36:29 | |
your retinal function is down 10%. | 1:36:29 | 1:36:32 | |
I'm afraid the retinal disease | 1:36:32 | 1:36:34 | |
seems to have returned. | 1:36:34 | 1:36:36 | |
But you corrected that. | 1:36:36 | 1:36:37 | |
You-I was healed of that, so... | 1:36:37 | 1:36:39 | |
Well, I... | 1:36:39 | 1:36:42 | |
I mean, I don't know whether, er, | 1:36:42 | 1:36:45 | |
you didn't have the blood vessels | 1:36:45 | 1:36:47 | |
to supply enough oxygen to your retinas. | 1:36:47 | 1:36:50 | |
I wish there were an easy way to say this. | 1:36:50 | 1:36:54 | |
When? | 1:37:02 | 1:37:03 | |
Well, it's hard to say. | 1:37:05 | 1:37:07 | |
Uh...a month. | 1:37:07 | 1:37:10 | |
Two weeks. | 1:37:10 | 1:37:11 | |
Today? | 1:37:13 | 1:37:14 | |
I don't know. | 1:37:17 | 1:37:19 | |
You look good. | 1:38:23 | 1:38:26 | |
Hey. How do I look? | 1:38:27 | 1:38:30 | |
I want some answers. | 1:38:32 | 1:38:35 | |
Why did you leave? | 1:38:35 | 1:38:37 | |
Did you leave because I was blind or because I gave up on your idea of me seeing? | 1:38:37 | 1:38:43 | |
To the point. I like that. Something you got from me. | 1:38:43 | 1:38:47 | |
You make jokes? | 1:38:47 | 1:38:49 | |
I haven't seen you in 20 years, you find out I can see and you make jokes? | 1:38:49 | 1:38:53 | |
Virg, can we talk about this later? | 1:38:53 | 1:38:55 | |
No. Answer my qusetion. Why did you leave? | 1:38:55 | 1:38:58 | |
I woke up very morning and looked at you and failure. | 1:39:01 | 1:39:06 | |
My own failures. | 1:39:06 | 1:39:08 | |
If I couldn't get my own son to see then... | 1:39:08 | 1:39:11 | |
It's water under the bridge now. Right? | 1:39:13 | 1:39:17 | |
You can see! | 1:39:17 | 1:39:19 | |
I knew you could. | 1:39:19 | 1:39:22 | |
Yeah, I can see... | 1:39:22 | 1:39:25 | |
and I'm going blind again. | 1:39:26 | 1:39:28 | |
You're the first person I've told. | 1:39:30 | 1:39:33 | |
I wanted to see your face. I wanted to look in your eyes while you explain my whole life. | 1:39:34 | 1:39:40 | |
You know what you did to Jennie? You know what you did to my Mom? | 1:39:40 | 1:39:44 | |
You shouldn't have done that. Dad. | 1:39:44 | 1:39:47 | |
You shouldn't have left. | 1:39:47 | 1:39:50 | |
You shouldn't have left. | 1:39:51 | 1:39:54 | |
Yeah. A little bit higher, like an inch, half inch. | 1:40:27 | 1:40:30 | |
Good. | 1:40:30 | 1:40:32 | |
Uh...hold that thought. Wait. | 1:40:31 | 1:40:34 | |
Hey. | 1:40:34 | 1:40:35 | |
What are you doing here? | 1:40:37 | 1:40:39 | |
God, I didn't want you to see it yet. | 1:40:41 | 1:40:43 | |
It's not done. | 1:40:43 | 1:40:44 | |
I came to see you. | 1:40:44 | 1:40:45 | |
I wanted to tell you something. | 1:40:45 | 1:40:48 | |
I had this idea, OK? Now, bear with me, | 1:40:51 | 1:40:53 | |
but because things are going so great right now | 1:40:53 | 1:40:55 | |
and you're doing so well, | 1:40:55 | 1:40:56 | |
and we're almost done with this job, | 1:40:56 | 1:40:58 | |
and I think I've got the Atlanta mall coming in, | 1:40:57 | 1:40:59 | |
so we've got some more money coming in, | 1:40:59 | 1:41:01 | |
I thought that maybe we could take a trip, | 1:41:01 | 1:41:04 | |
a sort of, um, a seeing celebration. | 1:41:03 | 1:41:07 | |
A seeing celebration. | 1:41:07 | 1:41:10 | |
Yeah. I thought that we could go to Egypt, | 1:41:10 | 1:41:13 | |
and you and I could both see the pyramids | 1:41:13 | 1:41:15 | |
for the first time together. | 1:41:15 | 1:41:16 | |
Amy... | 1:41:16 | 1:41:18 | |
And then I could take you to Paris, | 1:41:18 | 1:41:19 | |
and I could show you the Notre Dame cathedral | 1:41:19 | 1:41:22 | |
with the gargoyles | 1:41:22 | 1:41:23 | |
and the water with the light on it | 1:41:23 | 1:41:25 | |
and the stained glass. | 1:41:25 | 1:41:26 | |
It's so beautiful. You're gonna love it. | 1:41:26 | 1:41:28 | |
There are so many things that I want to show you. | 1:41:28 | 1:41:31 | |
The windows and the water, | 1:41:31 | 1:41:32 | |
and we'd just have the most wonderful time. | 1:41:32 | 1:41:35 | |
What do you think? | 1:41:35 | 1:41:36 | |
I think... | 1:41:41 | 1:41:43 | |
there is... | 1:41:45 | 1:41:47 | |
there is one place I'd like to see. | 1:41:47 | 1:41:49 | |
SHOUTING AND CHEERING | 1:41:49 | 1:41:51 | |
HORN BLOWS | 1:41:52 | 1:41:53 | |
CROWD DROWNS OUT SPEECH | 1:42:03 | 1:42:06 | |
HORN BLOWS | 1:42:34 | 1:42:35 | |
Virgil. | 1:43:47 | 1:43:48 | |
Virgil. | 1:43:48 | 1:43:50 | |
Are you OK? | 1:43:55 | 1:43:56 | |
The puffy thing. | 1:43:56 | 1:43:58 | |
This is the puffy thing? This is the cloud? | 1:43:59 | 1:44:01 | |
You found the puffy thing? | 1:44:02 | 1:44:04 | |
Oh, my God. It's cotton candy. | 1:44:04 | 1:44:07 | |
Oh, my God. | 1:44:07 | 1:44:09 | |
AMY: Thank you so much for taking me here. | 1:44:20 | 1:44:22 | |
This was wonderful. | 1:44:22 | 1:44:23 | |
You OK? | 1:44:31 | 1:44:32 | |
Yeah, I've just... | 1:44:33 | 1:44:35 | |
I'm having a bad eye day. | 1:44:35 | 1:44:39 | |
It's a lot to take in. | 1:44:40 | 1:44:41 | |
I'm OK now. It's just... | 1:44:43 | 1:44:45 | |
Oh, sorry. | 1:44:45 | 1:44:47 | |
There's people that want to get by over here. | 1:44:46 | 1:44:49 | |
What? | 1:44:48 | 1:44:49 | |
There's people over here on the right. | 1:44:49 | 1:44:51 | |
Oh, I'm sorry. | 1:44:51 | 1:44:52 | |
Honey, what's going on? | 1:44:58 | 1:45:00 | |
What's happening with your eyes? | 1:45:00 | 1:45:02 | |
Blackouts. | 1:45:04 | 1:45:05 | |
This was the longest. | 1:45:05 | 1:45:08 | |
I just want to go home, OK? | 1:45:08 | 1:45:11 | |
But, baby, wait one second. | 1:45:11 | 1:45:13 | |
Has...has this happened before today? | 1:45:13 | 1:45:17 | |
I'm going blind. | 1:45:22 | 1:45:24 | |
What? | 1:45:24 | 1:45:26 | |
What do you mean? | 1:45:28 | 1:45:29 | |
What's wrong? I mean, what... | 1:45:29 | 1:45:32 | |
you've had blackouts? | 1:45:32 | 1:45:33 | |
Maybe your eyes were just overworked. | 1:45:33 | 1:45:34 | |
You've been seeing so much. | 1:45:34 | 1:45:36 | |
You've been getting so excited. | 1:45:36 | 1:45:38 | |
No. | 1:45:38 | 1:45:39 | |
We can go to the doctor, | 1:45:39 | 1:45:40 | |
and he'll tell us what's happening. | 1:45:40 | 1:45:43 | |
Maybe, you know, it's just been too fast. | 1:45:43 | 1:45:45 | |
Amy, Amy, can we just go home? | 1:45:45 | 1:45:47 | |
Baby, let's go to the doctor. | 1:45:51 | 1:45:53 | |
I saw Dr Aaron. There's nothing they can do. | 1:45:53 | 1:45:56 | |
We'll go to another doctor. Let's go to another doctor. | 1:45:56 | 1:45:58 | |
Amy, what do you want me to say? | 1:45:58 | 1:46:00 | |
Want me to explain it in some different way? | 1:46:00 | 1:46:02 | |
I'm going blind. | 1:46:02 | 1:46:03 | |
Well, this... | 1:46:03 | 1:46:04 | |
That's what's happening. I'm going blind. | 1:46:04 | 1:46:07 | |
I just... | 1:46:07 | 1:46:09 | |
want to go home. | 1:46:10 | 1:46:12 | |
Baby, don't give up. | 1:46:12 | 1:46:14 | |
We got...we got... | 1:46:14 | 1:46:15 | |
I just want to go home. | 1:46:15 | 1:46:17 | |
It was a good game. | 1:46:25 | 1:46:27 | |
What are you doing? | 1:46:44 | 1:46:45 | |
I'm leaving. | 1:46:46 | 1:46:48 | |
What do you mean? | 1:46:48 | 1:46:50 | |
You're leaving this apartment, | 1:46:50 | 1:46:53 | |
you're leaving New York, | 1:46:53 | 1:46:54 | |
or you're leaving me? | 1:46:54 | 1:46:56 | |
I'm going home. | 1:46:56 | 1:46:58 | |
What, are you going home to Jennie? | 1:47:00 | 1:47:03 | |
Is she gonna take care of you now? | 1:47:08 | 1:47:10 | |
I'm not going through this bullshit again. | 1:47:10 | 1:47:12 | |
Bullshit? | 1:47:12 | 1:47:14 | |
Is that what this has been to you? | 1:47:14 | 1:47:17 | |
Yes, it's bullshit. | 1:47:17 | 1:47:18 | |
Who are we kidding? | 1:47:18 | 1:47:20 | |
I'm blind. I can't see. | 1:47:20 | 1:47:23 | |
OK? I don't belong here. I'm not meant to see. | 1:47:23 | 1:47:26 | |
Damn right, you're blind. | 1:47:26 | 1:47:27 | |
I'm standing right here for you, | 1:47:27 | 1:47:29 | |
and you don't even look. | 1:47:29 | 1:47:31 | |
Why are you shutting me out? | 1:47:32 | 1:47:33 | |
Why didn't you tell me what was going on with you? | 1:47:33 | 1:47:37 | |
Do you know... | 1:47:38 | 1:47:40 | |
why I remembered the cotton candy? | 1:47:40 | 1:47:42 | |
Because it's the one thing in my life | 1:47:42 | 1:47:44 | |
I remember with my father that was good. | 1:47:44 | 1:47:46 | |
Everything else after I went blind | 1:47:46 | 1:47:47 | |
is him pushing and pushing, | 1:47:47 | 1:47:48 | |
trying to make me into something that I'm not, | 1:47:48 | 1:47:50 | |
and then he turns his back on me when his plans fail. | 1:47:50 | 1:47:53 | |
But I'm not turning my back on you. | 1:47:53 | 1:47:55 | |
I promised you that I wouldn't give up on you, | 1:47:55 | 1:47:57 | |
and I'm not. | 1:47:57 | 1:47:58 | |
I'm not asking you to give up on me! | 1:47:58 | 1:48:00 | |
I'm asking you to give up on the idea of me seeing! | 1:48:00 | 1:48:03 | |
Didn't you want something more out of your life? | 1:48:03 | 1:48:05 | |
That's all I wanted to give you a chance for. | 1:48:05 | 1:48:08 | |
Did you think you would sit on that school bus | 1:48:08 | 1:48:11 | |
and work in that spa the rest of your life? | 1:48:11 | 1:48:14 | |
Didn't you have dreams? | 1:48:14 | 1:48:16 | |
Didn't you want to see or learn or do more than that? | 1:48:16 | 1:48:18 | |
You have so much to give of yourself. | 1:48:18 | 1:48:21 | |
And so much to be taken away. | 1:48:21 | 1:48:24 | |
It's not... | 1:48:24 | 1:48:26 | |
damn it. | 1:48:27 | 1:48:29 | |
Your sculpture. | 1:48:31 | 1:48:33 | |
I'm sorry. | 1:48:37 | 1:48:38 | |
It's just... | 1:48:40 | 1:48:42 | |
both didn't get what we wanted. | 1:48:42 | 1:48:44 | |
I wanted you. | 1:48:45 | 1:48:47 | |
Did you ever think for one minute | 1:48:49 | 1:48:52 | |
it wouldn't work out, | 1:48:51 | 1:48:53 | |
that I might not be able to see? | 1:48:53 | 1:48:55 | |
Did you ever think about what it would be like to... | 1:48:58 | 1:49:01 | |
just be with me... | 1:49:01 | 1:49:04 | |
the blind man? | 1:49:04 | 1:49:06 | |
That's my answer. | 1:49:12 | 1:49:14 | |
SHE SOBS | 1:49:25 | 1:49:28 | |
There's Jessie! Ah! | 1:49:52 | 1:49:55 | |
Look at you! | 1:49:55 | 1:49:56 | |
Let me look at you. | 1:49:56 | 1:49:58 | |
What a beautiful colour you are. | 1:49:58 | 1:50:00 | |
Look up, dog. | 1:50:01 | 1:50:03 | |
Everything's the same as when you left. | 1:50:05 | 1:50:06 | |
Nothing's changed. | 1:50:06 | 1:50:09 | |
CHILDREN TALKING | 1:50:25 | 1:50:27 | |
BOY: Come on, hurry! | 1:50:31 | 1:50:33 | |
Ha ha ha! | 1:50:33 | 1:50:35 | |
You're gonna miss it! | 1:50:35 | 1:50:37 | |
DOOR OPENS | 1:51:47 | 1:51:48 | |
JENNIE: Hello! Hi. | 1:51:48 | 1:51:50 | |
Hi. | 1:51:50 | 1:51:51 | |
Hey, Jess. | 1:51:53 | 1:51:55 | |
Hi. | 1:51:56 | 1:51:57 | |
I picked up some things at the store. | 1:51:58 | 1:52:01 | |
Some t-shirts, socks. You're probably out. | 1:52:01 | 1:52:04 | |
You are so beautiful. | 1:52:04 | 1:52:06 | |
Why didn't you tell me you were beautiful? | 1:52:07 | 1:52:10 | |
I just told you what you needed to know, that's all. | 1:52:11 | 1:52:15 | |
Look at me. | 1:52:15 | 1:52:17 | |
Why do people look away? | 1:52:18 | 1:52:20 | |
What do you want? | 1:52:23 | 1:52:26 | |
I want to see you. | 1:52:26 | 1:52:28 | |
Isn't there anything more you want? | 1:52:28 | 1:52:30 | |
You spent your whole life as blind as I was. | 1:52:30 | 1:52:34 | |
Virgil, please. | 1:52:34 | 1:52:36 | |
This is your home. | 1:52:36 | 1:52:37 | |
Don't worry about things that don't matter to you. | 1:52:37 | 1:52:40 | |
You're safe here, where everybody knows you. | 1:52:40 | 1:52:42 | |
You matter to me, Jennie. | 1:52:42 | 1:52:43 | |
This was a great place to grow up. | 1:52:43 | 1:52:45 | |
It was very safe. | 1:52:45 | 1:52:48 | |
But I grew up. | 1:52:48 | 1:52:50 | |
I can't even imagine the things you gave up for me. | 1:52:51 | 1:52:54 | |
I just want to look at you. | 1:52:54 | 1:52:56 | |
Look at me, Jennie. | 1:52:56 | 1:52:58 | |
I want to say thank you. | 1:52:58 | 1:53:00 | |
I love you from the bottom of my soul, | 1:53:00 | 1:53:02 | |
and I want to give you your life back. | 1:53:02 | 1:53:05 | |
I can't. | 1:53:13 | 1:53:15 | |
Yes, you can. | 1:53:16 | 1:53:18 | |
Jennie... | 1:53:21 | 1:53:22 | |
I'm reaching out. | 1:53:25 | 1:53:26 | |
VIRGIL: 'Growing up blind, I had two dreams. | 1:54:33 | 1:54:37 | |
'One was to see... | 1:54:37 | 1:54:39 | |
'and the other was to play hockey | 1:54:39 | 1:54:41 | |
'for the New York Rangers. | 1:54:41 | 1:54:42 | |
'After the miracle of my brief period of sight, | 1:54:44 | 1:54:49 | |
'if I had to choose, | 1:54:49 | 1:54:51 | |
'I think I'd rather play hockey for the New York Rangers. | 1:54:51 | 1:54:54 | |
LAUGHTER | 1:54:54 | 1:54:55 | |
'It wasn't that seeing was so bad. | 1:54:55 | 1:54:58 | |
'I saw a lot of things. | 1:54:58 | 1:54:59 | |
'Um... | 1:54:59 | 1:55:01 | |
'some were really beautiful. | 1:55:01 | 1:55:04 | |
'Others were scary. | 1:55:04 | 1:55:06 | |
'Some things I'm already forgetting... | 1:55:06 | 1:55:10 | |
'a particular look in a pair of eyes. | 1:55:11 | 1:55:16 | |
'Clouds. | 1:55:15 | 1:55:17 | |
'Those images will stay with me | 1:55:20 | 1:55:22 | |
'long after the light fades. | 1:55:22 | 1:55:25 | |
'As a blind man, I think that I see, um, | 1:55:27 | 1:55:31 | |
'a lot better than I did while I was sighted... | 1:55:31 | 1:55:36 | |
'because I don't really think we see with our eyes. | 1:55:36 | 1:55:40 | |
'I think we live in darkness | 1:55:40 | 1:55:43 | |
'when we don't look at what's real about ourselves | 1:55:43 | 1:55:48 | |
'or about others or about life. | 1:55:48 | 1:55:52 | |
'I think, er, no operation can do that, | 1:55:52 | 1:55:57 | |
'and... | 1:55:57 | 1:55:59 | |
'when you see what's real about yourself, | 1:55:59 | 1:56:04 | |
'then you've seen a lot...' | 1:56:04 | 1:56:06 | |
Good boy! | 1:56:06 | 1:56:07 | |
'And you don't eyes for that.' | 1:56:07 | 1:56:09 | |
Wanna bite? | 1:56:09 | 1:56:11 | |
You missed. | 1:56:26 | 1:56:27 | |
Missed? | 1:56:27 | 1:56:29 | |
Amy? | 1:56:29 | 1:56:30 | |
Hey. | 1:56:30 | 1:56:33 | |
Hi. | 1:56:33 | 1:56:34 | |
Um... | 1:56:39 | 1:56:42 | |
I was just in the neighbourhood. | 1:56:42 | 1:56:44 | |
No. Phil told me that you're working here, | 1:56:46 | 1:56:50 | |
and I thought maybe I could find you in the park. | 1:56:50 | 1:56:52 | |
I rushed, didn't I? | 1:56:55 | 1:56:57 | |
14 paces to the tree, | 1:56:57 | 1:56:58 | |
and I made us slam right into it. | 1:56:58 | 1:57:01 | |
We tried. | 1:57:01 | 1:57:03 | |
Are you happy? | 1:57:03 | 1:57:05 | |
Heh. I'm trying to be. | 1:57:05 | 1:57:09 | |
Work is good. I went out on my own. | 1:57:09 | 1:57:11 | |
What happened to Duncan? | 1:57:11 | 1:57:13 | |
He's building mini-malls. | 1:57:13 | 1:57:15 | |
Where's Jessie? | 1:57:18 | 1:57:19 | |
Jessie's at home with Jennie. | 1:57:19 | 1:57:21 | |
This is Pierce. | 1:57:21 | 1:57:22 | |
Ha. | 1:57:22 | 1:57:23 | |
My new dog. | 1:57:23 | 1:57:25 | |
He's a good boy. | 1:57:25 | 1:57:27 | |
Hello, Pierce. | 1:57:27 | 1:57:29 | |
Hello, sweetie. | 1:57:29 | 1:57:30 | |
Virgil, I finished the sculpture. | 1:57:34 | 1:57:37 | |
I didn't know where it was going to go, | 1:57:37 | 1:57:40 | |
but that was OK. | 1:57:40 | 1:57:42 | |
I really enjoyed letting it take on its own life, | 1:57:43 | 1:57:46 | |
letting it be just what it was, | 1:57:46 | 1:57:49 | |
without me pushing or doubting myself. | 1:57:49 | 1:57:52 | |
And what it was was beautiful. | 1:57:53 | 1:57:56 | |
I saw the horizon. | 1:57:57 | 1:57:59 | |
It's out there. | 1:57:59 | 1:58:03 | |
Even though I may not ever be able to touch it, | 1:58:03 | 1:58:08 | |
it's worth reaching for. | 1:58:08 | 1:58:10 | |
You showed me that. | 1:58:13 | 1:58:15 | |
Thank you. | 1:58:19 | 1:58:21 | |
Um... | 1:58:28 | 1:58:29 | |
do you want to walk? | 1:58:30 | 1:58:32 | |
See what we see? | 1:58:32 | 1:58:33 | |
Yeah, just see what we see. | 1:58:35 | 1:58:38 | |
# I used to walk between the shadows # | 1:59:07 | 1:59:13 | |
Lead on, McDuff. | 1:59:13 | 1:59:15 | |
# Lost in a world that moved too fast | 1:59:15 | 1:59:21 | |
# I was afraid I'd always be alone | 1:59:23 | 1:59:32 | |
# Then I saw your face | 1:59:32 | 1:59:37 | |
# At last | 1:59:36 | 1:59:38 | |
# I found my way, even in the dark | 1:59:40 | 1:59:48 | |
# Though at times, it seemed too far | 1:59:48 | 1:59:55 | |
# I knew if I listened to my heart | 1:59:57 | 2:00:05 | |
# I'd find that love is where you are | 2:00:05 | 2:00:14 | |
# I close my eyes and see tomorrow | 2:00:26 | 2:00:34 | |
# My dreams begin and end with you | 2:00:33 | 2:00:41 | |
# I hear you say you'll be there... # | 2:00:41 | 2:00:46 | |
