Marvin finishes the pictures and hands them to Calista to look through. She looks through all of them and smiles. Calista Line 1) These are the best photos that have ever been taken! Calista Line 2) I just love all of them so much. Calista Line 3) I’d love to hang them up. Calista Line 4) They came out wonderfully. Calista Line 5) You’re quite a good photographer. Marvin smiles. Calista Line 6) Say, will you continue working at your job? Marvin sighs. Marvin Line 7) I think that now since my dad and I are on the same page. Marvin Line 8) I’ll no longer have to work for his company. Marvin Line 9) I’ll finally be able to do something I want to do. Marvin Line 10) It’s exciting but honestly a bit terrifying. Marvin Line 11) I’m finally free, but now I don’t know what to do. Marvin Line 12) I’m sure I’ll figure it out and have the endless support I need. Marvin Line 13) But, how long will it take for me to finally get there? Marvin Line 14) At my age, the average person has already found a job they’re willing to do for the rest of their life. Marvin Line 15) Settled down with the family they’re willing to take care of for the rest of their lives. Marvin Line 16) But, I don’t have any of that. Marvin Line 17) I just feel so out of place. Calista scoots herself in front of Marvin. She takes his hands and interlocks them with hers. Marvin looks at her and smiles. Calista Line 18) Somebody that talks like this, knows exactly what they’re doing. Calista Line 19) You may not realize that now. Calista Line 20) It just has to come out on its own. Calista Line 21) It’ll be a difficult road. But, nothing comes easy in this life. Calista Line 22) You know what they say. Misery loves company. Calista Line 23) Let's be real. You have a knack for many things, though. Marvin Line 24) Like what? Calista Line 25) Are you seriously asking that? Calista shows Marvin his photos again. Calista Line 26) Maybe you need to take a look at these photos again. Marvin looks at them. Marvin Line 27) Alright? What’s so special about them? Calista Line 28) Can’t you see that someone without the talent wouldn’t be able to take these kinds of photos? Marvin Line 29) Thanks for the pep talk, but there's no need to lie to me. Calista is actually shocked. Calista Line 30) You think that I’d lie to you? Marvin tilts his head knowing good and well that Calista has lied to him before. Calista Line 31) Okay, so I’ve lied to you before. And you have to me too, so quit that expression. Calista Line 32) All I’m saying is that I wouldn’t lie to you about this. Calista Line 33) Trust me. Show this to a professional photographer and they’ll tell you the same thing. Marvin Line 34) So, just this? Calista Line 35) No. You’re also a talented chef. Marvin laughs. Marvin Line 36) Calista. Please. Calista Line 37) How are you not convinced? Calista Line 38) You’re so clueless about your own potential it’s pissing me off. Marvin laughs. Marvin Line 39) Okay, so I’m a good photographer and a good chef. Marvin Line 40) What’s next? Calista Line 41) You give yourself a name. And let the whole world know about it. Calista Line 42) You have enough money and support to brush up on your cooking skills, so that you can get some professional experience. Calista Line 43) After you get all your licenses and certifications needed. You’re able to start your own business. Calista Line 44) Open a restaurant. Calista Line 45) Publicize and advertise it. Calista Line 46) That’s where your photography skills can come into place. Calista Line 47) Then wait until you get the people's attention. Calista Line 48) Once they come. They’ll let the whole world know your name. Calista Line 49) Who knows. If you fully blast off, you could become a famous chef. Calista Line 50) Get yourself a michelin star and everything. Calista Line 51) Release a cookbook. Open a food networking show. Calista Line 52) The opportunities are endless. You’re capable of so much and don’t realize it. Calista Line 53) But, all of that starts when you decide to believe in yourself. Marvin Line 54) You really think I’m capable of all of that? Calista Line 55) Listen, do you know the brothers that created the airplane? Marvin nods his head. Calista Line 56) Before all of that. I’m sure people thought that flying was completely and utterly impossible. Calista Line 57) If they were able to get us to fly, there’s no way you’re not capable of doing all of this. Calista Line 58) Mama Milly said that she also wanted to become a chef. Calista Line 59) The both of you should team up to fulfill her lifelong dream. Calista Line 60) And plus, you’d be able to work with her. Marvin smiles thinking about it. Marvin Line 61) You’re quite imaginative. Marvin Line 62) All of that sounds amazing. Marvin Line 63) I’ll branch out and see where life takes me. Calista smiles. Calista Line 64) That’s the spirit. Marvin Line 65) What about you? Calista sighs. Calista Line 66) I’m definitely gonna quit my job. Calista Line 67) It’s been keeping me stationary all this time. Calista Line 68) Which was what I needed before, so I felt like I was doing something with my life. Calista Line 69) But now, I’ve realized I need to find something that’ll take me further. Calista Line 70) I didn’t realize that until I met you. Calista Line 71) I needed someone out there to touch base with, so that I could realize what life’s all about. Calista Line 72) And you were that person for me. Calista Line 73) Before I realized it. I was able to heal from what broke me in the past. Calista Line 74) None of that would’ve happened if it weren’t for you. Calista Line 75) I’m also ready to see where life takes me. Calista Line 76) A fresh start to my career. Calista Line 77) I want to wake up and be happy doing what I do. Calista Line 78) Thank you for taking me on this journey. Calista Line 79) I’ve learned so much from you. Calista Line 80) I can hardly recognize who I was before. Calista Line 81) I’m truly grateful for all the moments we spent together. Calista Line 82) From the bottom of my heart, what we share means the world to me. Calista Line 83) As much as all of this from the start was to help you. Calista Line 84) It helped me too. Calista Line 85) And maybe that was the whole point of all of this in the first place. Calista Line 86) We were meant to meet, and experience all of this together. Marvin gets emotional and drags Calista into a hug. They both hug each other passionately. Rex comes by them and snuggles in. Talulla gets home. She sees them hugging each other. Marvin notices Talulla. She looks heavily upset. Marvin Line 87) What time is it? Talulla Line 88) It’s 6:23 PM. Talulla opens the window to show that the sun is starting to set. Marvin and Calista look at each other. Talulla Line 89) It’s time. Talulla Line 90) Let’s say our final goodbyes and initiate the ceremony. Marvin and Calista look at each other upsettingly. They nod their heads in agreement. Marvin leads Calista out into the balcony. They watch as the sunsets. They glance at each other. Marvin Line 91) I love you so much, Calista. Marvin Line 92) With my whole heart and soul. Marvin Line 93) I can’t describe to you how much love I have for you. Both of them get emotional. Marvin Line 94) Letting you go. Is by far the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life. Marvin strokes Calista’s face. Marvin Line 95) I don’t want you to go so badly. Calista takes his hands and kisses it. Calista Line 96) Marvin. I love you so much. Calista Line 97) There’s no words that’ll show how much I love you. Calista Line 98) I love love love you so much. Calista Line 99) And I don’t want to leave you either. Calista Line 100) Even if my mind won’t remember you after this. Calista Line 101) My heart always will. Calista Line 102) Because it won’t be mistaken from my lost memories. Calista Line 103) I know I’ll always remember you. Calista Line 104) There’s no way I’ll forget any of this. She holds Marvins face close to hers. They kiss each other gently, savoring each moment. They hug each other tightly as they make peace with their leaving. Talulla intrudes on them.
