Anne, Burden's Landing is a place on the moon. It isn't real. It doesn't exist. It's me, pretending I live on what I earn. It's my mother, trying to keep herself young and drinking herself old doing it. She and Adam living in this house as though your father was still alive. It's an old man like the judge, dreaming of the past. Anne, come away with me.

And do what?

Live in a shack and eat red beans. Anne, what do you want me to do?

Oh Jack, you haven't been sure. You've gone from one thing to the other. A year at law school and now this job as a reporter.

Are you afraid I can't make a living?

Oh no Jack, it isn't that. I don't care about the money. It's just that I, I want you to be something.

What is it you want me to be?

I don't know. It's just that I want you to be, to do something important.

Like your father? All right, I'll run for governor. Anne, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I said that.

All right, Jack. I'll go away with you. I'll do anything you want me to.

I've wanted you to say that more than anything in the world. And now that you have said it - Anne, I guess you were right. I'm not sure of anything, including myself. I'm not sure I could live up to the...Anne, wait for me. Please wait for me.

I'll wait for you.
