Scenes with Catherine 155

Catherine

Vincent, it's beautiful. Remember how I told you that when I was little I was afraid of the dark. My mother gave me a candle to light at my bedside before I went to sleep. Just a tiny little thing, a birthday candle. Somehow, it made it all right. I have loved candles ever since.

This is no ordinary candle. This is for Winterfest. It is a special time for us. We have other celebrations, all the holidays and traditions we share with your world, but Winterfest is our own. A time to remember the past, dream of the future. Each year, we deliver these candles to our helpers in the world Above. Without their light, our world would be dark. Our lives would be cold without their warmth.The candles are our way of saying that they're a part of us. Everyone, the entire community has agreed this year that Winterfest would be incomplete unless you are there.

Catherine

[tapestries] Wonderful. Where do they come from? Who is the artist?

It is a mystery that we have never solved, Catherine. Perhaps, they are enchanted. I use to imagine they were magic windows that if I stared at them long enough and hard enough they might open up and I could pass through to another world. But when I reached out, they were only cloth.

Catherine

[turns to Vincent] Vincent, can I ask you something very personal?

You can ask me anything, Catherine.

Catherine

Do you dance?

Catherine

Can you hear it, Vincent?

Only the quiet...and the wind crying to get in.

Catherine

You can hear it if you try. The music.

Yes, I hear it...Catherine, that question that you asked me earlier... [Then Vincent puts his hand on Catherine's arm to lead her to the floor and they begin to dance a waltz.]

Catherine

Lena...

It's gonna grow up to be just like me. When I think of that—

Catherine

[to Lena] Your baby is about what can be, not about what is. If you don't believe that, then nobody will.

Catherine

[about Lena] She's dying, Vincent. The streets are killing her and she's fighting to hold onto her spirit...and she's carrying a child. She told me that she would rather see the baby die, than bring another life into this world!

How can it be, that this world could have no more to offer her?

Imogen.

Please, Father! Imogen!

What's wrong with Imogen?

Well, for one thing it's hard to pronounce.

Well, it was good enough for Shakespeare!

Well, if it's Shakespeare you're set on, then why not Juliet or Mariah?

Catherine

What's going on?

Oh, we were, uh, discussing possible names for the child.

After every birth the child is welcomed into the community with a Naming Ceremony.

Catherine

Don't you think Lena should have a say in it?

Well, yes, of course.

Of course— by all means... We were just er...speculating.

Catherine

I see.

What do you want?

Catherine

I came to see how you were.

Nothing you say is gonna make me go back there.

Catherine

You're your own person, Lena. I can't force you. But, your baby's down there.

She belongs there.

Catherine

So do you.

I hate it there. It doesn't matter. It's not a real place to me anymore.

Catherine

[to Lena] Do you remember what you told me that first night? About being outside, that cold feeling. You can hide out there if you want, but you have a place on the inside now...with friends, people that care about you. It's your choice. If you want me to leave, just say so.

Leave.

Catherine

If you ever want to talk to someone, I'm there.

Please, don't leave.

It's been difficult for her Above. We've known that for some time. Little by little she began to shed her duties as a Helper, until last week when she disappeared.

Catherine

Why didn't you tell me, Vincent? I might have helped.

Somehow I still think of the tunnels as her home. I always thought if she needed sanctuary for whatever reasons she would seek it among us.

Catherine

Well, she found it, Vincent but in a dangerous place, among people who live by violence. One of them, we think, killed a security guard.

This is her new home?

Catherine

I'm sorry.

I know.
