M.I.A. - April 1, 1969

[last lines]

Admiral Al Calavicci: Beth, I've missed you so much. It's been such a long time - 25 years. Of course you haven't changed, but I have. I'm an Admiral now - me, the ensign, that said that anyone with a rank above Lieutenant was a horse's ass.

[Beth laughs]

Admiral Al Calavicci: Beth, you didn't hear me, did you? Oh, Beth, tell me you can hear me.

[Beth gets up and changes the record]

Admiral Al Calavicci: Look at me, Beth. Oh, Sam, why did you make me do this?

[as Beth starts slowly moving to the music, Al joins and shadow-dances with her]

Admiral Al Calavicci: I want you to wait for me, Beth. Don't give up, honey. 'cause I'm alive out there. And I'm only alive... because of our love. And someday... oh, Beth - someday, I'm gonna come back home to you.

[kisses her forehead and leaps]

Beth Calavicci: Al.

[starts to cry]
