37 EXT. TOM'S HOUSE - NIGHT
TOM
S-Sarah?
SARAH
«In your life you meet people. Some you never think about again.
Some you wonder what happened to them.
There are some that you wonder if they ever think about you.
And there are some that you never have to think about again. But you do.»
TOM
C.S. Lewis.
SARAH
That's why I'm here, dad. I can't stop thinking
about you and mom. You're a piece of me.
And I need to collect all the pieces to restore myself.
TOM
Sarah...
SARAH
Please, dad, forgive me.
Tom and Sarah hug. Both cry.
SARAH
I need your help, daddy.
TOM
I will always help you, sweetheart.
You will always be with me.
Tom gets in. Sarah walks through the door.
CUT TO:
38 INT. ERICA'S OFFICE - NIGHT
SARAH walks in, unexpectedly. ERICA is sitting at her desk.
SARAH
Wow! You... You need to stop doing this.
ERICA
Good evening.
Sarah sits.
SARAH
You... Are crazy. Do you know that?
Erica laughs.
ERICA
Well, did it work?
SARAH
Yes! But... It was hard.
ERICA
Like I said before, in order to be happy we need
to do things out of our comfort zone. What about C. quote?
SARAH
Yeah, it makes sense. We are all the people. The ones that
leave a deeper mark, the ones we barely speak to... They're all important.
ERICA
And even when people split, it's never for good. And you proved it,
twice.
SARAH
With Susan and my father.
Erica nods.
ERICA
And what about trusting people?
Letting them in.
SARAH
I'm... Working on that. And this is curious, because...
Do you remember the pamphlets I was delivering?
ERICA
What about them?
Sarah looks for a pamphlet in the pocket. Hands it to Erica.
Erica reads it and smiles. Sarah goes away, smiling. The pamphlet is from an employment center which coops with people looking for job and job offers. It has the shape of a door and it opens to both sides. The slogan is "We open our door to both parts". Erica smiles and walks to the door.
ERICA - V.O
