Clara's Heart

CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS., INC.

CLACK, CLACK, STEP ABOUT, THE MAID IS HERE.

MAID IS HERE.

COME BACK LATER.

THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU TO DO.

BUT YOU GOT YOUR "DO NOT DISTURB" SIGN

ON THE DOOR FROM MORNING TILL NIGHT.

AT LEAST LET ME DRAW THE CURTAINS.

PLEASE DON'T. JUST LEAVE THEM.

YOU DON'T LIKE OUR ISLAND?

HAVEN'T SEEN IT.

EXCUSE ME. ARE YOU STILL HERE?

YES, MISS.

I HAVE A RAZOR ON THE TABLE BY THE BED.

COULD YOU BRING IT TO ME?

YES, MISS.

WE FINALLY MEET FACE TO FACE

WITH YOU IN THE BATHTUB

WHERE YOU APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN DEAD.

I DON'T SEE WHAT DIFFERENCE IT MAKE

IF YOU MISSED A SPOT OR NOT.

YOU DON'T LEAVE THE ROOM.

I TELL YOU TRUE, MISSUS.

YOU GOT TO BUST UP THE GLOOMY.

THANK YOU.

I ASKED YOU NOT TO OPEN THE CURTAINS.

SOMETIME I THINK

I KNOW WHAT'S BEST FOR OTHER PEOPLE.

IT'S A FLAW I'VE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH.

I'M HUNGRY.

ARE YOU?

YES. I HAVEN'T EATEN A THING ALL DAY.

HOW ABOUT I ORDER YOU UP SOMETHIN' TO EAT?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ALL RIGHT.

YES. THIS IS CLARA MAYFIELD IN BUNGALOW B.

COULD YOU SEND ME UP A TRADITIONAL PLATTER

WITH A SIDE OF CHO CHO?

I GOT A LADY HERE GREW UP IN JAMAICA

LONGIN' FOR THE TASTE.

CHA, MAN. THANK YOU.

COME IN NOW. FOOD IS READY.

IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, WE'LL THROW IT AWAY.

YOU'RE ON VACATION.

YOU'RE ALLOWED A LITTLE CAPRICE.

THAT LOOKS LIKE SCRAMBLED EGGS.

NO. YOU MUST TASTE IT FIRST BEFORE YOU SAY THAT.

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

GOOD CIGAR.

YOU CAN GET IT FRESH IN PORT ANTONIO.

MAYBE I'LL HIRE A DRIVER AND SEE THE TOWN.

DON'T HIRE A DRIVER. JUST TAKE THE BUS.

IT RUNS BY THE HOTEL EVERY DAY.

YOU NEED YOUR FEET AND A FEW CENTS.

I HAVE TO GO.

THANK YOU, CLARA.

YOU'VE BEEN VERY KIND.

IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO BE KIND.

NOW TAKE YOURSELF OUT AND BUST UP THE GLOOMY.

EXCUSE ME.

YEAH?

DO YOU KNOW CLARA MAYFIELD?

SHE LOOKING FOR CLARA MAYFIELD.

SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

WHERE DID YOU GET HER NAME?

I MET HER AT MY HOTEL.

MAMA,

THIS LADY DON'T KNOW THE SONG.

¶ IN JAMAICA, REMEMBER WHEN THE ANGELS FALL ¶

¶ I AS BABYLON, BUT MISS CLARA-- ¶

DON'T BE RUDE.

WHAT'S HAPPENED TO MISS CLARA

ISN'T THIS LADY'S BUSINESS.

IF YOU MUST ASK FOR HER,

IT'S BEST TO ASK ELSEWHERE.

I WISH I'D KNOWN YOU'D BE IN TOWN YESTERDAY.

I WOULD HAVE MET YOU.

NO, REALLY?

HOW MUCH TROUBLE COULD IT BE?

WHAT DID YOU DO YESTERDAY?

I WENT TO CHURCH. THEN I CAME HOME,

WROTE LETTERS TO MY FRIENDS IN BALTIMORE.

WE LIVE JUST OUTSIDE BALTIMORE.

NO, REALLY?

MY BEST FRIEND OWNS A BEAUTY SALON THERE,

AND OTHER FRIENDS WORK FOR HER.

SHALL WE HAVE OUR TEA?

YOU DON'T MIND IF THEY SEE YOU?

THEY COULD DISCHARGE ME.

I'VE LIVED THROUGH WORSE.

YOU'RE MARRIED, AREN'T YOU, CLARA?

YES.

DOES YOUR HUSBAND WORK IN TOWN?

I'M SORRY. I'M BEING TOO INQUISITIVE.

NO, NO. HE WORKS

OUTSIDE THE COUNTRY JUST NOW.

SO YOU'RE ALONE RIGHT NOW?

BY CIRCUMSTANCE.

I NEVER ALLOW MYSELF TO GET TOO REGRETFUL.

NOBODY WANTS TO BE AROUND SOMEONE

WHO SPREADS BLACK CLOUDS AND DOOM.

YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN.

YES, BUT YOU SEE,

MY BABY DIED IN HER CRIB RECENTLY.

DIDN'T KNOW THE FACT,

BUT I KNEW THE SUBSTANCE.

I HAVEN'T BEEN TERRIBLY RESILIENT.

THAT'LL COME IN TIME.

THANK YOU.

IT'S A FUNNY THING ABOUT BEING ALONE.

YOU START TO TALK TO YOURSELF.

THEN YOU STOP LISTENING,

AND THEN YOU FORGET THAT YOU'RE THERE.

I FIND THAT I GET INTO SUCH DULLNESS,

BUT YOU LET SOMEBODY CALL ME ON THE PHONE

AND TELL ME THEIR TROUBLES--

I CAN SAY SUCH MARVELOUS THINGS.

THINGS I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY COME FROM

FALL FROM MY LIPS LIKE PIECES OF FRUIT,

AND I MUST PAUSE TO WONDER

WHO IS IT INSIDE OF ME

I DON'T EVEN KNOW IS THERE?

LEE?

OH, BILL.

COME MEET THE MOST WONDERFUL PERSON.

MOM! DAD!

HI. HI.

HOW YOU DOING?

GREAT. I'M GLAD YOU'RE BACK.

OLD GLENDA-- SHE'S THE PITS.

WELL, WE'RE LETTING HER GO.

REALLY?

YOU GREW.

HOW MANY BAR-UPS YOU DOING?

ABOUT FIVE.

LOOKIN' GOOD.

WHO'S THAT?

DAVID, THIS IS CLARA.

CLARA'S GOING TO

BE LIVING WITH US FROM NOW ON.

HELLO, DAVID.

YOU DON'T GOT TO BE AFRAID OF ME.

ME NOT GONNA BITE YOU...

UNLESS YOU DON'T BEHAVE.

HERE, CLARA.

NO, THANK YOU. I GOT IT.

OK, BIG GUY. CARRY THIS.

DAD! WHAT'S SHE DOING HERE?

SHH!

YOU DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING!

YOUR MOTHER JUST NEEDS SOME HELP, DAVID.

YOU'LL HAVE STRANGERS TAKE CARE OF ME NOW

SO YOU DON'T HAVE TO!

WHAT IS THIS?

JUST TAKE IT EASY, DAVID.

I UNDERSTAND THE LITTLE BOY.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. I'LL MAKE YOU LEAVE.

STOP IT!

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

LISTEN.

NOBODY MAKES ME DO NOTHIN' I DON'T WANT TO,

SO AIM THAT MEANNESS AND NASTY TALK ELSEWHERE.

YOU GOT ANOTHER THING COMING

IF YOU THINK YOU'LL ACT SO DREADFUL AROUND CLARA.

COME THIS WAY, CLARA.

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HER?

LEE?

WELL, COME UP IF YOU MUST.

DON'T STAND DOWN THERE MARAUDING LIKE A SPY.

YOU'RE OUR MAID.

THIS IS A GUEST ROOM-- A ROOM FOR GUESTS.

PERHAPS YOUR MOTHER WANT ME CLOSE TO YOU

SO I CAN CHANGE YOUR DIAPERS.

VERY FUNNY.

HOW COME YOU TALK SO WEIRD?

YOU AIN'T HEARD WEIRD TALKIN' YET, CHILD.

I TALK SO BAD YOU'LL THINK IT'S A NIGHTMARE.

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

DON'T ACT PROPER, I'LL TURN YOU INTO A TOAD.

OOH. YOU'RE SOME KIND OF WITCH, OR WHAT?

SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YEAH.

YOU'RE NOT IN CHARGE.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW AT THE START.

THAT IS OBVIOUS, SO WE MOVE ON TO OTHER THINGS.

SHE'S NOT WELL-- MY MOTHER.

YOU DON'T SEEM TOO HEALTHY YOURSELF.

YOU'RE A JERK.

WELL, IF I'M A JERK, YOU'RE A BOBO.

THEN YOU'RE A SUPER-DWEEB.

IF I AM A SUPER-DWEEB, YOU ARE A BUBU-YAGA.

DON'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE.

BEST YOU AND ME,

WE LEARN TO BECOME PART OF ONE ANOTHER.

PERHAPS THEN THERE IS SOME HOPE FOR US.

LISTEN, WHAT CAN I SAY?

I'M SORRY, BUT YOU'RE NOT WINNING ME OVER.

THAT'S THE BEST I CAN DO FOR TODAY,

SO JUST TAKE YOURSELF OUT OF HERE. GOOD-BYE.

GET YOUR DIRTY HANDS OUT OF THERE.

I HOPE THEY LIKE HIYAKI
