Song: Getting Better

 
HENRY
Hey

NATALIE
Hey

HENRY
I missed you these days
I thought you might call
It's been weeks

NATALIE
I've been crazed

HENRY
Hey
Hey
Have you been on the scene?
Cause look like a mess

NATALIE
Thanks, I guess

HENRY
Are you clean?

NATALIE
Wow coming from you

HENRY
I don't do what you do

NATLAIE
Ok how did it start?

HENRY
But you took it too far

(overlapping)
NATALIE
Oh I too it too far?
Henry don't! Don't do this to me

HENRY
Hey, hey
Are we over?
Don't say that we're over

NATALIE
Don't you want us to be?

HENRY
No, I want who I knew
She's somewhere in you

Hey, say, will you come to this dance?
It's the spring formal dance
Its March first, and its cheese
But its fun and it's free

NATALIE
I don't do dances

HENRY
Do this dance with me

NATALIE
Goodbye Henry

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
This much loss is rare but it has been reported. It may be partly psychogenic.
At times like this the mind tends to repress troubling memories.
But they're still there, somewhere. They tend to return in fits and spurts.

DAN (spoken)
It's been two weeks

DR. MADDEN
A little loss of memory is normal
And helpful in forgetting all her fears

DAN
I couldn't give a flying fuck what's normal
We haven't had a normal day in years

DR. MADDEN
Diana, are things becoming clearer with the treatment?

DIANA (spoken)
Well, yes

DR.MADDEN
Is life less cloudy than it was before?

DIANA (spoken)
Yes

DR. MADDEN
Do you still feel your head is filled with concrete?

DIANA
No! And you're a scary rock star anymore

DR. MADDEN (spoken)
Ok, great!

DAN (spoken)
What about her memory?

DR. MADDEN
Start with some things she'll know
Keepsakes, tokens you can show
Don't let setbacks lay you low
Keep trying, keep trying

DIANA (spoken)
Ok wait, don't tell me. Tacky souvenirs from Vegas?

DAN (spoken)
They're our wedding rings.

DIANA (spoken)
Oh, of course they are. Sorry

DR. MADDEN
Gotta believe you're getting better
Gotta believe it's gonna be
Gotta believe its getting better
Gotta believe that you will see

DAN (spoken)
Ok, and here we are visiting the Grand Canyon, the year Natalie learned about mooning.
And this is our first house, the one on Walton Way, before we got married and built this one,
God we loved that one.
And here is one of all three of us smiling.
It's actually a composite photo, but

NATALIE (spoken)
Missing a few pictures there dad, aren't you? Why don't you tell her about

DAN (spoken)
I will Natalie, at the right time.

DIANA (spoken)
Who's this adorable little chubby girl?

DAN (spoken)
That's Natalie

NATALIE (spoken)
This sucks!

DAN
Give her all that you can give
Help her find the life she's lived
Most of all stay positive
Be hopeful, we must be hopeful

NATALIE (spoken)
Fine

DAN
Show another photograph
Something that's too cute by half
Get her crying, have a life
Remember, she will remember

NATALIE (spoken)
This is the house on Walton Way, after the fire.
This is the crowd at Costco, the first time you collapsed.

DAN (spoken)
Natalie how is that helping?

NATALIE (spoken)
And here is dad, saving a seat for you at my sophomore piano recital.
And here's dad after, still saving a seat. You
have to admire his optimism.

DIANA (spoken)
Right, I was, I was stuck in the car.

DAN (spoken)
Diana, you remember this?

DIANA (spoken)
It was the year of too much lithium. I made it to the school but I couldn't get out of the car.
And here, Natalie's last gymnastics meet. I locked myself in the bathroom.

DAN (spoken)
Yes! Finally, you remember.

DIANA (spoken)
Boy, your life has kinda sucked hasn't it?

NATALIE (spoken)
Yes! Right. Thank you.

DIANA
Gotta believe its getting better
Gotta believe it feels so strange
Gotta believe I'm getting better
Gotta believe that luck can change

DR. MADDEN (overlapping)
Now at last you see the path
To get you through the darkest night
Nothing's wrong we can't make right
All you've got to do is try
Every day is do or die
Spread your wings and you can fly, we'll try it

DAN, NATALIE and DIANA (overlapping)
You've gotta believe that skies will clear up
You've gotta believe in clear blue sky
You've gotta believe that things will cheer up
You've gotta believe you've got to try

DAN, NATALIE, DR. MADDEN (overlapping)
You've got to believe
You've got to believe
You've got to believe in love

DIANA (overlapping)
I believe
I believe

DIANA and NATALIE (overlapping)
Believe
Believe
I believe

DAN (overlapping)
You've got to believe
You've got to believe

DR. MADDEN (overlapping)
You've got to believe
You've got to believe

ALL
You've got to believe in love
