Something Is In The Air Tonight.
"Fasten Your Seatbelt;it's going 2 Be A Bumpy Night."
This famous Line is Spoken By Margo Channing,Played By Bette Davis,In The Movie
"All About Eve."
Lostmouth-No!-that's enough now."
The Hero- But I'm here 2 help you."
Lostmouth-"Why?-help for what?
Hero-"Because you need 2 let go."
Lostmouth-"I said no!-what part of no don't you recognise?"
Hero-"The part that says NO!"
Lostmouth laughs reservedly,barely recognisable 2 the ear.
Hero sees her laughter as an opportunity 2 keep trying.
Hero"-Please try it again---just for me."
Lostmouth"-But I don't wish 2.Why can't I stay here?"
Hero- "We've been through this before. It's your time 2 move on."
Lostmouth-"NO! NO! NO! I WON'T LET GO!
Hero-(When will this woman switch 2 my way).
Lostmouth-"What did you say?"
Hero-"What!"
Lostmouth-"What did you JUST SAY?"
Hero-"I didn't say anything."
Lostmouth-"Yes you did-something about me doing as i'm told."
Hero-(How the hell did she hear that?)
Lostmouth-(I hear thoughts).
Hero-(How)?
Lostmouth-(I just can).
Hero-"But how!
Lostmouth-(As i said. I just can).
Hero-"Nobody's safe then?"
Hero looks at the faces around the table,looking back at him with blankness.
Lostmouth-"I guess not."
Hero-"It's time for us 2 leave you now."
Lostmouth-"Oh. Will I see you again?"
Hero paused before he thought-(you're not gonna catch me again this time).
Lostmouth ignored his thought,choosing not 2 respond.
Hero-"Go in peace with our blessings. Take care."
Lostmouth-"Wait! Don't go!"
Lostmouth grabs his arm,but her hand slips through it.She tries again.
The same thing happens.She is scared and confused.
Hero-"Ok...we've spoken 2 her once more.But she is still insistant on staying in this house.
As you know she finds it hard 2 leave
It's our job 2 help her with gentle persuasion and acceptance.
I shall now close the circle,and we'll resume next week and see how she feels.
Thank you all for coming. Blessings.Goodnight."
