19. It's just late. I wish you'd
wait for me to do that.Copy !req
20. I love when you get manly
and overprotective...Copy !req
21. but Vigo was my bodyguard...Copy !req
22. long before
you came on the scene.Copy !req
23. Is that in one of
those rule books...Copy !req
24. on how to make your fiancé
feel important?Copy !req
25. Tell him your dog makes you feel
safer than he does? Hmm?Copy !req
26. That's not what I meant.Copy !req
27. Have you ever seen a bus
go down our street?Copy !req
28. What more can I do?Copy !req
29. It is beautiful, isn't it?Copy !req
30. You wore tie-dye
to your wedding.Copy !req
31. I don't think you're
an objective observer.Copy !req
32. About my only daughter?
Of course not.Copy !req
33. I have to go.Copy !req
34. I'm giving a comp lit
lecture in twenty minutes.Copy !req

Aren't you curious...Copy !req

37. It's been eating
at me all day.Copy !req
38. When did you register?Copy !req
39. I don't know. Two months ago.Copy !req
40. Well, you're not in here...
under your name or Adam's.Copy !req
41. That's strange.Copy !req
42. Do you remember who helped you,
what they looked like, dear?Copy !req
43. You know, I can't remember.Copy !req
44. Hi, Melina.Copy !req
45. Hi.Copy !req
46. Come on, Vigo. Let's go now.Copy !req
47. Should I leave you
and that merlot alone?Copy !req
48. You gonna tell me what's wrong?Copy !req
49. No. It's stupid.Copy !req
50. Melina, we're getting married.
I'm not allowed to admit...Copy !req
51. that anything you say or do
is stupid, so you're safe.Copy !req
52. I was walking Vigo...Copy !req
53. and this woman
was coming home from work.Copy !req
54. I've never met her before...Copy !req
55. and she said hello
to me by name.Copy !req
56. Well, Melina is an unusual name,
very easy to remember...Copy !req
57. and you definitely
make an impression.Copy !req
58. That's not what I mean.
I don't know her.Copy !req
59. I'm a teacher. I make a point
of remembering names and faces.Copy !req
60. OK, so?Copy !req
61. And I saw that bus again.Copy !req
62. What bus?Copy !req
63. The one that I saw last night.Copy !req
64. Oh, that bus.Copy !req
65. It keeps stopping
on the corner and waiting...Copy !req
66. and I don't even remember
seeing a bench there before.Copy !req
67. We have buses
goin' down our street?Copy !req
68. I've never seen it
before yesterday.Copy !req
69. Why is this botherin' you?Copy !req
70. I don't know.Copy !req
71. Forget it.Copy !req
72. No.Copy !req
73. Vigo, want to go for a walk?Copy !req
74. It's buggin' you,
it's buggin' me.Copy !req
75. So the bus stops here
and then what?Copy !req
76. Then they just stare at me like
I'm a kid in grade school...Copy !req
77. and I'm holding up
a field trip or something.Copy !req
78. Well, Mel...Copy !req
79. I don't see any bus.Copy !req
80. Maybe it only runs
certain nights.Copy !req
81. It could've been anything...Copy !req
82. maybe a charter takin'
little old ladies to Vegas...Copy !req
83. for the weekend.Copy !req
84. It wasn't a charter.Copy !req
85. What are you doing?Copy !req
86. I'm unlocking the door.Copy !req
87. Honey, we live over here.Copy !req
88. Oh, too much wine...Copy !req
89. and suddenly
I'm the neighborhood prowler.Copy !req
90. You're so cute.Copy !req
91. "Because I could not
stop for death...Copy !req
92. "he kindly stopped for me.Copy !req
93. "The carriage held but just
ourselves and immortality."Copy !req
94. Ms. Croner, I just want to say
I love your class.Copy !req
95. Emily Dickenson is so...
goth.Copy !req
96. I take it your paper's late.Copy !req
97. Just a few hours.Copy !req
98. Some people say
that Emily's just...Copy !req
99. a depressing old spinster...Copy !req
100. but I say she really
understood death.Copy !req
101. Thank you, Theresa.Copy !req
102. Information?Copy !req
103. I need the number for...Copy !req
104. the transit department
information.Copy !req
105. One moment, please.Copy !req
106. Hold for that number.Copy !req
107. I'll hold.Copy !req
108. Tell me you weren't waiting
for that bus.Copy !req
109. What bus?
I called public transit.Copy !req
110. There is no bus route
that runs down our street.Copy !req
111. I told you
I didn't think there was.Copy !req
112. Well, what a relief
that it's just in my head.Copy !req
113. Mel, no one's sayin' that.Copy !req
114. I think there's somethin' more
goin' on here.Copy !req
115. Huh?Copy !req
116. I'm starting to forget things.Copy !req
117. What kind of things?Copy !req
118. Adam, how did we meet?Copy !req
119. You've forgotten that?Copy !req
120. Just tell me, please.Copy !req
121. We were freshmen at UCLA.Copy !req
122. It was a party at your dorm.Copy !req
123. Are you sure?Copy !req
124. Mel.Copy !req
125. Right. OK.Copy !req
126. Fine.Copy !req
127. Is this some kind
of pre-wedding test?Copy !req
128. No.Copy !req
129. No.Copy !req
130. This is harassment.
I'm gonna call the police.Copy !req
131. What do you want from me?Copy !req
132. We're waiting for you.Copy !req
133. Leave me alone.Copy !req
134. It's ridiculous.Copy !req
135. When I try to put it into words,
it sounds like...Copy !req
136. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow
or something.Copy !req
137. You're seeing
a headless horseman?Copy !req
138. No.Copy !req
139. I am seeing a bus
on my street.Copy !req
140. I think it's full
of dead people...Copy !req
141. and the bus driver
wants me to get on.Copy !req
142. Oh, Melina... you've always had
the best imagination.Copy !req
143. Honey, the dream's a metaphor.
You're just thinking...Copy !req
144. that marriage is going to kill
your social life, that's all.Copy !req
145. It's not a dream. It is real.Copy !req
146. The other night
I almost got hit by a car.Copy !req
147. That's the first time
I saw the bus.Copy !req
148. Oh, honey, oh...Copy !req
149. I'm still not following you.Copy !req
150. I think the car did hit me
and I died...Copy !req
151. but my life's so good right now,
I don't want to let it go.Copy !req
152. And the bus is death?Copy !req
153. Yeah... and if I get on...Copy !req
154. I give up on my life
completely.Copy !req
155. Well... I always thought...Copy !req
156. the public transportation system
was going to hell, but—Copy !req
157. Mom, I am serious.Copy !req
158. What if I'm dreaming
all of this?Copy !req
159. Then I'm going
to pinch you awake...Copy !req
160. because I need you.Copy !req
161. Few things are more
real than a wedding...Copy !req
162. for 400 people
at the Regent.Copy !req
163. He found me.Copy !req
164. I don't care if it is a dream.Copy !req
165. It's mine. It's mine.Copy !req
166. Remember Tim Robbins
in Jacob's Ladder?Copy !req
167. He dies in the beginning...Copy !req
168. and spends the rest of the movie
trying to accept his death.Copy !req
169. Really? Is that what happened
in that movie?Copy !req
170. Do you understand what happens
at the end of Basic lnstinct?Copy !req
171. Is Sharon Stone
the killer or not?Copy !req
172. This isn't about the movie.Copy !req
173. This is about me and the things
I've been seeing...Copy !req
174. and the things
I can't remember.Copy !req
175. Well, what about it?Copy !req
176. What do you want me to do, Mel?Copy !req
177. I want to know
that you're real...Copy !req
178. that the things
we feel are true.Copy !req
179. That we have the rest of
our lives to look forward to.Copy !req
180. I need that.Copy !req
181. You know you've got it.Copy !req
182. Mel... I love you.Copy !req
183. Adam, I love you so much.Copy !req
184. I was so empty before.Copy !req
185. If you hadn't moved
into the building...Copy !req
186. and come into my life...Copy !req
187. I don't know what
I would have done.Copy !req
188. I don't know where
that came from.Copy !req
189. We met in college.Copy !req
190. I'm gonna get us
some more coffee.Copy !req
191. I'd like some refills.Copy !req
192. Sure.Copy !req
193. Melina!Copy !req
194. Yeah? Do I know you?Copy !req
195. Melina, yeah.
You used to work here.Copy !req
196. You trained me.Copy !req
197. No, you must have me mistaken
for someone else.Copy !req
198. What, someone else named Melina
who looks just like you?Copy !req
199. Look, I live around the corner.
I come in here to get my coffee.Copy !req
200. I've never worked here.
I am an English professor.Copy !req
201. OK. Sorry.Copy !req
202. There you go.Copy !req
203. - I'd like them both refilled.
- You only gave me one cup.Copy !req
204. But there were two.Copy !req
205. Well, who's the other one for?Copy !req
206. Adam?Copy !req
207. Adam!Copy !req
208. Adam!Copy !req
209. Adam, this joke
isn't funny anymore!Copy !req
210. Vigo, it's you.Copy !req
211. Your mama's cracking up.Copy !req
212. Vigo?Copy !req
213. Vigo!Copy !req
214. Vigo, no, come here!Copy !req
215. Why are you doing this?Copy !req
216. We're waiting for you.Copy !req
217. "Because I couldn't stop
for death...Copy !req
218. "he kindly stopped for me."Copy !req
219. No.Copy !req
220. Forget it. I'm not going.Copy !req
221. Just give me back my dog.Copy !req
222. He doesn't want out.Copy !req
223. Leave me alone.
Just get out of my life!Copy !req
224. This isn't your life, Melina.Copy !req
225. It's the life you could've had.Copy !req
226. Hey...Copy !req
227. the dog was gone.Copy !req
228. I'd swear the dog was,
but he's OK.Copy !req
229. Does, uh,
anyone know who she is?Copy !req
230. Her name's Melina.Copy !req
231. She worked with me
at the Soma Café.Copy !req
232. She lives
across the hall from me.Copy !req
233. She was always
walking her dog.Copy !req
234. I never heard
her say two words.Copy !req
235. I always felt like
she was starin' at me.Copy !req
236. Adam.Copy !req
237. Adam.Copy !req
238. The bus... it was life.Copy !req
239. I should have gotten on.Copy !req
240. Excuse me. Excuse me.Copy !req
241. Pity.Copy !req
242. Poor Melina Croner.Copy !req
243. She spent her entire life
too afraid to live it...Copy !req
244. and lost all hope
at happiness.Copy !req
245. Makin' the wrong choice
can be fatal...Copy !req
246. in the Twilight Zone.Copy !req
