everybody thought
she would settle down
and come back
and finish the film,
but it has been
a week now,
and they are stuck.
have they closed down
the production?
oh, no.
they're up
in Canada,
shooting every foot
of every scene
in which
she's not involved,

she is the lead.
there is only so much
they can do without her,
so they must
find somebody
as quickly as possible
to fill her role.

are you offering me
the part?
I am offering you
a chance at it.
you will have to go
upstate for a few days,
where we will
make you over.
you'll do a scene
on videotape.
that's so
the director can see
what you look like
on the screen.
now, for that,
you would be paid...
here. $3,000.

the payment schedules,
the release forms,
the union papers.

sometimes her imagination
gets the better of her.
please! go look
in the attic.
she'll be all right
in a few minutes.
hmm. maybe we ought
to take a look.
I don't think you should
encourage her.
I think we should leave.
look, john, put the lady's
mind at rest. go up--
I really don't think
it's not necessary.
it can't hurt.
it might calm her down.
I m gonna have to write out
a report anyway.

she kept talking
about goldfish.
Roland: huh?

according to this,
there are only
6 covered bridges
in this part
of new York state.
yeah? so?
only 4 of them
go anywhere
near the thruway.
right.
according to this,
Katie said
she was on the road
about a few hours.
right.
let's figure somewhere
between 2 and 4.
ok! ok!
so, of the 4
you can get to
off the highway,
one is only an hour
from the city.
2 are 5 hours
away, minimum.
the only other one
is just east of here.
it's about 1/2 a mile
away from the next exit.
you sure?
gotta be.

say something?

and so are
the two of you.
I ll find her myself.
quickly.
keep them apart.
you shouldn't
wander around
up there
all by yourself.
I mean,
it's a pretty old house,
and you don't know
your way around,
so why don't you
go back down there
and let me look for her.

wherever she is.
there isn't a place to hide
in this house
that I don't know about.
oh, yes.
no, please.
if we do find her,
you let me handle her.
dr. Lewis wants you
to stay away from her.
oh, he's been so worried
about things recently.

don't have anything
to worry about at all.
I learned
a long time ago
that worrying
doesn't help one bit.
