Hello

Hello.

I thought I saw someone. I was just about to go to bed. I saw you from my window… is there something I can do for you?

Oh, no, I’m just here to see the Northern Lights.

Okay, okay— it’s just it’s awful late, and you’re in my yard….

Oh, I hope you don’t mind! I’ll only be here tonight. I’ll see them tonight. The northern lights- I hope you don’t mind—

Is that your tent?

Yes.

You’ve pitched a tent…

So I have a place to sleep

In my yard…

After I see them, I hope you don’t mind—

well, it’s not that I—

Do you mind?

Well, I don’t know if…

Oh, no, I think you mind!

No, it’s not that I mind—

No, you do, you do! Oh, I’m so sorry! I didn’t think you would! I didn’t think— You see, it says in your brochure—

my brochure?

That the people from maine wouldn’t mind…. is it true?

Well—

That they’ll just let you… attached to only one other state?

Um-

It is!! Feels like the end of the world …. I mean is it true?

Well-

Would you let a hiker who was where she needed to be just camp out in your yard for free?

Well-

I mean, if a person really needed to

well—

Reallyreally needed to?

Well, if a person really needed to sure, but—-

Oh, I’m so glad then! Thank you!

Sure. Okay. Okay. So you’re just looking for a place to see the Northern Lights from?

Yeah. Just tonight.

Well, you know, you might not see them tonight, cause you never really know—

Oh no… and boy, you have good sky for it. There’s lots of sky here.

Used to be a potato farm.

I was gonna say— no trees in the way. And it’s flat! Makes for a big sky! So— you’re a farmer?

No— used to be a farm. I’m a repairman.

oh.

fix things.

oh.

What?

You’re not a lobster man.

No?

Oh. Yeah, well anyway… not to be given a bad time here—

I LOVE YOU.

Um

Oh.

Um.

Oh boy.

Um

I’m sorry. I just— I think I love you

Really

Yeah, I saw you from my window and… I love you.

Well that’s very nice but there’s something I think you should know. I’m not here for that.

Oh no I didn’t think you were!

I’m here to pay my respects. To my husband.

oh.

Yeah. My husband.. maybe I should go… and find another yard.

No! No! I’m sorry if I’ve behaved in a way I shouldn’t have—

No, I think—

No! I really don’t know what happened.

Well I do! I know what happened.

I’m not the kind of person who says things like that. Please. Don’t go. Just— do what you need to do. I won’t bother you. Maybe just consider what I did a very warm Maine welcome.

Alright. Alright. My name’s Glory.

I’m East. For Easton. It’s the name of the town, a little ways that way, where I was born, mess up on the birth certificate.

Aw I’m sorry…

Naw…

Oh! Oh! (ouch!)

What? What’s wrong?

My heart!

What? Are you okay?

My heart!

What?

You have my heart!

I—?

It’s in that bag!

Oh.

Please give it back//

Okay, okay.

Thank you.

You’re welcome. I’m sorry, did you just say that …your heart is in that bag, is that what you just said? That your heart—

Yes.

It’s heavy.

Yes.

Why is it in that bag?

It’s how I carry it around.

Why?

It’s broken.

What happened?

Wes broke it.

Your husband?

Yeah. He went away.

oh.

With someone else.

Oh. I’m sorry.

Yeah… it turned to slate.

Great for roofing. Wait a second, how do you breathe? if your heart is in that bag, how are you alive?

Artificial.

Really.

Yeah. Cause my real one is broken.

Then why do you carry it around with you?

It’s my heart.

But it’s broken.

Yeah.

Cause your husband left you.

Yeah.

Well, why are you paying your respects to him if he left you?

Because that’s what you do when a person dies, you pay them respects—-

but he LEFT you

yeah, but

and it seems to me that a man who leaves somebody doesn’t deserve any respects.

well I didn’t leave things well with him

what do you mean?

and I need to apologize to him.

But he left you.

I know but I

why should you apologize?

because!

because why?

because I killed him!

oh.

and i’d like to apologize..and that just killed him.

Oh, but it didn’t kill him, you didn’t kill him—

Yes, I did… and if I’d been able to take him back—

Glory—

he wouldn’t have torn out of there like that—

Glory!

…and I just feel that for closure, the right thing to do is—

I love you!

Please don’t do that anymore.

Why! I love you!

Well, don’t.

Why?

Because I won’t be able to love you back.. It doesn’t work anymore.

Please let me have this.

No! It’s mine!

I can fix it!

I don’t know if I want you to!

Glory!

East, please give that back to me.

But it’s broken!

Please!

It’s no good like this.

But it’s my heart, East!

Yes it is. And I believe I have it. And I can fix it. I’m a repairman. I repair things. That’s what I do.
