Elena Undone

ELENA UNDONE (2010)

In love, one and one...

are...

one.

Seldom do we get the opportunity to witness the art in love.

But that is what we all really desire.

Not just to be loved,

but to be loved in that all-encompassing,

Heathcliffe-on-the-moors, one-true-Iove,

soulmate kind of way.

And yet, rarely are we prepared for it when it happens by.

Perhaps you've been trying to inject meaning into your life...

endlessly seeking that spiritual connection in other ways.

There's no way I'm going.

That's no way to behave, young man.

Nash, you did hear that they're protesting downtown?

The nerve of those people.

Nerve is right. It's all a lot of noise.

Noise and nonsense... but we'll be there.

All of us, Pastor Barry. Don't you worry.

That's the kind of support we're looking for, right?

Or maybe you're one of those rare and fortunate few

who find true love very early in life.

For others, life might be at its most grim.

This way, Peyton...

you can arrange your life exactly as you want it...

And precisely as you like.

You did an amazing job today, Lombard.

Thank you.

And as funerals go, not too shabby.

Yeah.

I think Mom even would have approved.

You know, if we had a few more years,

we could have made her a Democrat.

Maybe not.

It's really pretty, isn't it?

I need to go for a swim.

Well, do it.

And if soulmates exist,

how can we be sure that that person we meet

or the person that we're sharing our life with

is the one?

Here are a few stories that may shed some light on the subject.

I'll let you be the judge.

Our families...

they kept us apart for ten years.

We lost track.

Then, one day, I was in the airport,

on my way to London for school.

I saw the back of Rasheed's head,

from across an entire airport.

I knew it was him.

I turned as if I had no control over my body.

I turned, and I saw him.

I saw him, this man -

this beautiful man, who I love.

This man that I love.

That is what I'm talking about.

That's what I'm talking about!

The twin flame.

The ultimate love connection.

You know, I heard that someone might be ovulating this morning.

Mmm, hmm.

It wouldn't happen to be you, would it?

It would.

Then I'll be right back.

OK.

I love you.

I know.

There are no guarantees in life, Peyton.

Be prepared for anything.

So, what time will you meet us?

Uh... not sure.

Don't tell me you're not coming.

Millie, I really have a lot to do.

I'm very busy.

Oh, it's very clear God's got your back.

You're running everything here so smoothly.

But you have to commit to your faith...

and put it to real work.

Well, you know I teach the kinder program

on Saturday mornings, but I really just don't think

that your interpretations...

Please. Interpretations?

That's the oldest trick in the book.

But given that the Bible was written in...

They are tearing us apart with all their marriage talk

and liberal judges ruling willy nilly in their favor.

We are not going to stand by and allow it, Mrs. Winters.

Shame on you.

Shame on you for undermining your husband's work.

But more importantly - God's work.

Elena...

I'm sorry, but she just... she's been really tired.

It's OK.

I've already forgiven her.

I knew you would.

So excuse me.

Oh, sure.

# And how do we mend this whole world #

# And mold it into something better #

# Only love and only time #

# Will ease my mind #

# I'm looking for something better #

Why do people drink tea?

It's a very civilized way to pass the time.

I drink tea, Peyton,

because there's nothing that a good cup of tea can't fix.

I'm so sorry.

- Did you start your period? - Yeah.

I know how much you want this.

But maybe we're trying to hard.

Or maybe we should ask God,

pray to God to bring us another child.

Millie.

Hey, sweetie, it's Aunt Lenore.

Um, the family's a bit concerned.

No one's heard from you in days.

We know you like your privacy,

but the nursing home called, and you know,

your mom would be pretty horrified if she knew

you hadn't gone to pick up her belongings yet.

# And how do we mend this whole world #

# And mold it into something better #

# Only love and only time... #

Now then...

For those of your debating the soulemetry qualities

of that special someone,

let us look at a few of the criteria

that are absolutely necessary

if this person is indeed your twin flame.

First of all,

this person may come in an unusual package.

Not your typical type.

I was a nun for years,

and I was working at the food bank when she came in,

looking like the bad side of awful.

And so I got her into treatment

and found her a welding job,

you know, got her back on her feet.

And somewhere during all of that,

I fell deeply in love with her.

But it was, it was against everything that I believed in.

So I prayed and went into seclusion,

but nothing, nothing that I did could, um,

keep her from my mind.

And, um, then one morning,

I woke up in the hospital.

God, I was scared.

You were pale.

Apparently, I had passed out from dehydration,

and when I came to,

there was Jackie... sitting there like an angel.

I thought I'd never see her again.

When I did...

And I knew from that moment,

even though my entire life had been devoted to the church

and Catholic scripture,

I knew that my God loved Jackie...

And loved me loving her.

You're gonna love this one.

It's called "Soulemetry By The Stars."

My beautiful wife Lily arranged the whole thing.

See ya' there.

Ah! As if on-cue.

Hey, baby.

I'm about to go snap up that internet company

that's been cut off at its knees.

Ah!

If they only knew what a pussy cat you really are.

I mean, seriously.

Do I look like I belong with this jet-setting businesswoman?

Or any woman for that matter?

All my life, everybody thought I was gay.

Was it my sensitivity?

My extensive collection of Barbara Streisand memorabilia?

Who can say.

When it comes to Lily, it's the real deal.

He's all yours.

You are going to love this story!

Or not.

Let's get you a drink.

You're not doing anything wrong. Stop that!

Maybe it's a sign.

Well, that's why we're adopting.

Listen, my exquisite angel...

I know you better than anybody.

My God, between your archaic parents

and Barry's crusades du jour,

it's a testament to your strength...

Or complete insanity.

Tell me something.

What's in this for you?

Come on, give me your hands. Give me your hands.

If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times,

he is not your twin flame.

Alright?

This silly little congregation.

Oh...

Interesting.
