Rosy (2018)
Okay.
I'm leaving. JAMES: Rosy... Wait. I'll get off just here in the corner. There you go. Thank you. (MUFFLED SCREAMING) (CONTINUES SCREAMING) ( DISCO MUSIC PLAYING ) - MAN: What's your name? - Rosy. I'm James. So you're the girl in the photos? ROSY: Yes. That's me. JAMES: Well, I'm honored. ROSY: Don't be. Marty's really not that good. JAMES: Well, I won't tell him you said that, because he's my best friend. He's mine, too. But he's never mentioned you. Come on, why would he? ROSY: Where is he anyway? Marty. ( MUSIC CONTINUES ) Are you a model? God, no. No. I'm an actress. Oh. Unofficially. I'm in school for it. It's a tough business. Yeah, I can handle it. I'm feisty. (JAMES LAUGHS) Yeah, I got that. Can I say something? Yes. You are absolutely beautiful. MARTY: He's married. - Mart. - He's married. We were just looking for you. - Yeah. - Well, just in time. So, is this your girlfriend? This is my muse. Oh. Oh, okay. Is that gonna make this awkward? Make what awkward? Our friendship. Get out of here. Where? Scram. Come on, now. Settle down. I loved the show. Great job. Thank you. Thank you for coming. Thank you for Rosy. You're welcome. Did you check out the miniatures by the corner there? Yeah, I loved them. - Check 'em out. - I will. They're worth revisiting. Oh, okay. Okay. Thank you, James. See you soon. JAMES: See you around. MARTY: Come on. Don't look back. ROSY: I'm not. MARTY: You do not wanna be talking to that guy. ROSY: Who is he? MARTY: He's a recovering alcoholic, - gambler, sex addict... - ROSY: Stop. (MOANS SOFTLY) (EXCLAIMS) (SOBBING) (GRUNTING) (SCREAMING) Help! Help! Help! Help! (SOBBING) (LOCK CLICKING) Don't be scared. (RETCHING) I'm sorry. That's the chloroform. No! Get away! (PANTING) Who are you? Help! Please! Somebody help me! Somebody! Here's your purse and your jacket. And I left a few things of mine in the dresser for you. Here's a monitor with a built-in camera. (MONITOR BEEPS) So that if you ever need anything, you can just let me know. You seem upset. So I'm gonna go get you something to eat, and I'm sure you're gonna feel better. Just, you know... Just calm down, make yourself at home. You know... Okay? (LOCK CLICKING) ( "RIGHT DOWN THE LINE" PLAYING ) You know I need Your love You got that hold over me Long as I got your love You know that I'll never leave When I wanted you To share my life I had no doubt in my mind ( WHISTLING TUNEFULLY ) I brought you eggs and avocados... (ROSY SCREAMS) No! (MAN MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY) (BREATHING HEAVILY) (TRAY RATTLING) I know this is crazy. I'm a good person, and I brought you here to be with me, because I just want you to get to know me. (DOOR SHUTS) (LOCK CLICKING) ( "HEARTBEAT" PLAYING ) Who am I to say I want you back? When you were never mine To give away I was waiting For a long, long time For you to feel the same Who are you to look At me like that? Is there something more You need to say? I haven't loved you In a long, long time So why do I feel this way? Can you hear my heartbeat? Please don't stand So close to me Can you hear my heartbeat Still beating strong? (SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE) (CLATTERING) JAMES: Did you find it okay? Uh-huh. You play those instruments? No, those are for decoration. Sorry, I'm just being shy... ROSY: Mm-hmm. So, you're a musician. No. I make documentaries. You never told me you were in the movie business. Well, you never asked. True. Documentaries about what? Music... Oh. There you go. (CHUCKLES) Wow. So... what's wrong with me? What do you mean? Nothing. Are you unhappily married? Oh... Where is she, by the way? I didn't expect you to be so forward. I... just liked you and was curious to see you again. You didn't answer my question. I... think I made a mistake. You're just making fun of me. And I know this whole age thing is not supposed to matter, but... So you want to fuck me? I'm sorry. I think you should go. James... Let's start over. (DOOR OPENS) DOUG: Rosy, it's been two days. I wasn't counting on this. I know you must be hungry. Will you just try one bite? Please, just try one bite. Don't do this to me. It's good. ROSY: Look... you seem nice. And I get it. You think you can't let me go because I'll go straight to the police. But I won't. We can fix this. It'll be like it never happened. I mean that. You can just drive me home and no one will ever notice that I was gone. It'll be our secret. Please? Sorry. It's just... I'm sorry. (GROWLS) I can't eat your fucking food! Hmm? I'm a vegan. (RAIN PATTERING) (CHOPPING) (THUNDER RUMBLES) What's your name? Thanks for asking. My name's Doug. And you're Rosy? How'd you know my name? Here. Where are you going? - I have to pee. - Oh. Oh. Go ahead. Okay. (SIGHS DEEPLY) ROSY: So you took the bathroom door away? DOUG: Yes, I did. So you wouldn't lock yourself in. Why me? Pardon? Why'd you pick me to kidnap? Because I think we have a connection. A what? A connection. How can we have a connection if we don't even know each other? People see each other in places every day and they think, "That could be the person for me." (TOILET FLUSHING) You know, people are gonna be looking for me. (ROOSTER CAWING) DOUG: Hi, Rosy. - Hi. - Hi. Hi. Uh... I'm gonna leave and I'm gonna be gone for a while. Where are you going? I'm heading out to work. I'll be back late tonight though. I'll be here. What did you say? Hello. (PEOPLE CHATTING IN BACKGROUND) MAN #1: Do you work here? MAN #2: Yeah. MAN #1: May I speak to your manager, please? (SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY) We're investigating a missing girl. (GRUNTING) (GROANING) (TELEPHONE RINGING) Uh, hello? This is Dr. Godin here. Hello, Dr. Godin. Hi. Hi. I'm glad I finally reached you. I've left several messages. Well, I've been staying at my grandmother's house. I have an update. Your grandmother's vitals have been improving a lot. I'm confident that she could very well regain consciousness. What? It's not a promise, it's just that... It could go that way. Now, there has been some damage. The oxygen... What's the damage? I'm not sure if she'll ever be able to walk again. And she will certainly have difficulty speaking. You should come meet with us to discuss the prospects. Following rehabilitation, you have to think about things like... Wait, you're saying... ...your home to be wheelchair accessible. You're saying that I could have her back? It's looking a lot more likely. That's all I can say. Can I ask you something? Yep. Um... It's... Would she be like, um... cognizant of things going on around her? How do you mean? (CLEARS THROAT) ( SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING ) (PANTING) (STRAINS) (GRUNTS) (TYRES SCREECHING) Oh, come on! (STRAINS) (CLATTERING) (GRUNTS) (CAR APPROACHING) Fuck! ( MUSIC ) (SIGHS) (GRUNTS) - Hi. - Hi. I picked you up some takeout, and I got you some healthy snacks to have down here. Oh, thanks. Can you just put them over there on the dresser? I'm actually not that hungry right now. - DOUG: What's this? - What? Here. What is this? Oh. That. Hah! Um, that's... That's how long I've been here for. I hope you don't mind. I'm just keeping track. Hmm. Where's the vase? ROSY: Just there on the floor. I moved it. How was your day? Good. I'm pretty tired. I think I'm just gonna go to bed tonight. You look pretty spent yourself. Yeah, you could say that. Good night. 'Night. I forgot to grab this. (CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY) My grandmother may be moving in with us. Great. What is she like? She's great. I'm sure. Does she know that I'm here? I haven't quite worked all that out yet, but... (CLATTERING) What the fuck? ROSY: I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. Please don't hurt me! (CLATTERING) Please don't hurt me. What were you trying to do? Huh? What were you trying to do? I was trying to get out. What does it look like? You can't get out. Those windows don't even open. What? Why'd you board them up, then? I've had a really hard day. And the last thing I need is for you to pull shit like this. Oh, you've had a hard day? You get to go out there and do whatever you want, whenever you want. I? I am stuck here, all day long. And the only good part of my day is when I go to sleep, because then, then I know that I'm gonna make it till tomorrow. All right. For the last time. I'm not trying to hurt you. I'm just trying to take care of you. I think that's pretty clear. - Take care of me? - Yes. Look at me! I haven't had a shower in forever. I smell like shit. Do you see how greasy my hair is? Huh? There's only a sink in that bathroom. I... I could give you soap. But, yeah, I didn't think of that. (ROY SCOFFS) I didn't think of that. Just, you know... Yeah, it didn't occur to you that while you were having your nice, warm, little cozy showers that I might be needing them, too? I've been very overwhelmed, and I've been dealing with a lot, - and a lot has happened really fast. - (SCOFFS) So it has something to do with that, probably. I don't care. When you think about your needs, you need to try and think about mine. All right, yeah. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The best way to get through your day is to focus on the good things you have, not the bad. (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR SHUTS) - ( MUSIC PLAYING ) - WOMAN: The seven steps. Who am I? Where am I? Who am I with? What do I want? What do I do to get what I want? And what just happened? Okay? I am an enigma. You're an enigma? (LAUGHS) - I am an enigma. - You're an enigma. ROSY: You're nervous. MAN: I'm nervous? ROSY: You're nervous. MAN: I'm nervous. JAMES: Say something sexy. (MOANS) What time's the show? 9:00. I'm really excited. Well, we're gonna be busy shooting all night. I don't think it'd be appropriate for me to bring a girl along. I'll give you my credit card, and you can walk around town. What am I gonna do in Jersey? Is she pretty? She's a kid. The label picked her up from some televised dance competition in Canada. Why? How old is she? I think she's 15. That's obscene. She has a career that you're making a documentary about, and I'm like a total nobody. Come on. I have a pretty good friend who's a talent rep, and I can introduce you when we get back. He's a pretty straight shooter. James, do you think of me as your girlfriend? You want to be? Yeah. (DOOR OPENS) (DOOR SHUTS) You're gonna have to let me cuff your ankles if you're gonna go upstairs. I think that's ridiculous. Will you at least take these off when I'm down here? It will be much easier for me to maintain my sanity and to use the bathroom. We'll see. Come on. You've got a monitor to watch me. Maybe. Well, can I at least take them off while I shower? I'm not gonna run away with my legs cuffed. Does it turn you on to restrain me? Hmm? Does that record player work? Mm-hmm. Wow. This is a pretty big house. What, are you gonna wash me now? (SIGHS) (LOCK CLICKS) ROSY: You're locking the door from the outside? DOUG: Correct. How do I know you're not gonna come in once I'm naked? DOUG: Rosy? Rosy? Yes. Do I need to worry about you killing yourself in there? (SCOFFS) I'm not suicidal, arsehole. Is your grandmother coming? DOUG: I don't know yet. Isn't she gonna wonder why all the windows are boarded up? Um, I'll tell her that the doctor ordered it. What do you mean? Is she sick? Well, how are you gonna explain the handcuffed girl that's not allowed to stroll the garden? You'll have to stay downstairs. What about my baths? I'll figure it out. Also, Doug... Yes? I... I really appreciate the toothbrush and toothpaste you gave me, and the horrific hairbrush. Mm-hmm. But since I'm gonna be here for a while, I'm gonna need a few more things. Like tampon. And I need my inhaler. I'd like a blowdryer, and I definitely need more clothes, like a few pair of panties, some shoes. Oh, some books would be nice. My favorite author is Mary McClain. And would it be possible to get some makeup as well? MALE NURSE: Having reviewed the personal and legal ramifications regarding the end of life decision, let's now discuss the much preferred alternative outcome, and the measures you'll have to take if Katherine does indeed wake up from her vegetative state. DR. GODIN: Which I personally think could be any day now. MALE NURSE: One option is setting her up in a nursing home. No. Well... if you'd rather bring her home, I... I recommend that you hire a caretaker or a nurse to administer her medication. Here's some information you might find helpful. Basic preparations, expected costs. I'm seeing that girl that I told you about. She's... She's... She's a handful. But... I'm in love with her. I'm scared I'm not doing this in the right way. I wish you could tell me. (SIGHS DEEPLY) Thank you for everything, Dr. Godin. (SNIFFLING) Are you sure you don't need some more time to think this through? I've thought it through. Turn it off. (SIGHS) (PEOPLE CHATTING) ( FRENCH SONG PLAYING ON RECORD PLAYER ) ( MUSIC ) - (TURNS OFF MUSIC) - Jesus! Could you knock? (EXHALES DEEPLY) Sorry. What's wrong? My grandmother died. What? How? She got a stroke. What's the matter with you? Nothing. So, do I still have to stay down here? That's all you have to say? Really? I'd hug you, except that you should probably think about the way you're feeling right now is how my parents are feeling about me. Wait, come back! (DOUG SCREMS) Goddamn it! (PUNCHING WALL) (BANGS ON DOOR) Are you okay? (SIGHS) Look, I really wanted honestly to meet her. It's just I feel like I'm suffocating down here. It's so dark. Have you never had a feeling for someone from the second you met them? Yes. But it has to be both ways. How do you know if you never get a chance to find out? What do you want? You wanna date me? Here in the basement? I don't know what you call it, but I just want a chance. Fine. But I want a chance, too. For what? Your trust. I don't wanna be stuck down here all the time. We can hang out, but I wanna do it upstairs. Let me think about it. You can't have a relationship without trust. (DRILL WIRRING) ROSY: So, have you ever had a girlfriend? DOUG: Uh... No. ROSY: Why? DOUG: I'm, uh... not the best at socializing, and I've just never met anyone that I liked. So you've never done anything like this before? You're doing it wrong. Can I do it? I love building fires. Okay. Sure. Do you have a boyfriend? What if I did? There are other ways of meeting people, you know, besides going out. It's not that simple for me. I'm really far behind from where I thought I'd be in my life by now. Me too. So what do you do? Uh, I work in a restaurant. So that's where you go when you leave me here alone. My grandmother wanted me to be with a nice girl. She could have survived, and I told them to take her off life support. Why did you do that? If it were up to me, I would have kept her alive, of course. But she wouldn't want to come back like that. I know her. Then you did the right thing. Okay, good night. Also, Doug. Mm-hmm? Even though we're very different, I do know what it's like to feel alone. I've never done this before. What? Uh... You asked if I've never done this before. (ROSY CHUCKLES) Okay. Good night. Good night. I had an audition today. I think I made a fool of myself. Aren't acting classes helping? Mm. It makes you feel guilty about school. Why? I don't know, I just... I just don't know if I want it badly enough. Like, what's the point of racking up all this debt in tuition? You know, it's gonna get better. Well, I... (GROANS) What's the point? You done? - Mm-hmm. - Okay. (DISHES CLATTER) You know, honey, all you ever do is whine and have anxiety over making it in the business. It's 99% out of your control. That's not what I do. Did you read that book I gave you? Not yet. Can I ask you something? Yes. Do you love me? I love spending time with you. Do you love your wife? I've said "I love you" in plenty of relationships. My problem is, uh... we eventually get sick of people. That's a really cynical thing to say. Why don't you get sick of me? (DOOR UNLOCKING) (SCOFFS) Come in. (DRILL WIRRING) (BOARD CLATTERING) (DRILL CONTINUES WHIRRING) - Doug? - Yes? Come here. You think you're the guy for me? Mm-hmm. Then I'm gonna show you how it's done. And we're gonna find out. What do you mean by that? You're gonna take me out on a date. On a proper date. And we're gonna talk to each other. And we're gonna tell each other everything. And I want you to get me something. A present. What kind of present? Stockings. The kind that come up to here. And that are loose at the top. The vintage kind. And I want some garters with them as well. (DOUG SIGHS) (TAP RUNNING) ( "MAGIC COLORS" PLAYING ) My days are darker Than my nights My world is black There are no lights My eyes are blind I cannot see Where's the world You lit for me? Painted things From the past Are faded things That couldn't last Where are All the magic colors (KNOCK ON DOOR) That used to light my way? Where are All the magic colors? I must find those rainbows Of yesterday My grass was green The sky was blue When I shared The world with you But now the colors Turn to gray My rainbow world Escaped away Shades of gray And shades of black I'm so alone I wanna go back Back to All the magic colors That used to light my way Where are All the magic colors? I must find those rainbows Of yesterday Hi. Thank you. You're welcome. Sorry, my place is such a mess. That's fine. Oh, I only covered that so that the way that I looked is a surprise. I figured. Don't worry about it. I knew why you did it. So... where are you taking me? Uh, to the dining room. Ah! Fantastic. Never been. ( SOFT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING ) I do miss meat sometimes. Do you want a bite? The cut here is fantastic. Okay. I'll try it. But don't tell anyone. Mmm. It's good. I just... I just love animals too much. Then you should definitely be a proponent of meat eating, because once we ruin our planet, we'll have to move to another one. And the only thing that'll convince people to make room for the animals is their chance to eat them. So where do your parents live? My father was never around growing up, and my mother... killed herself. Why? I don't know. I was very young. I think I'm lucky. It might have been very painful otherwise. Hmm. My parents probably don't even know that I'm missing. I doubt that. I mean, they have some money. They're not filthy rich or anything, but they could have put me through school. I just... I just don't think they like me very much. And to put it kindly, my mom is simple, my father's a narcissist, so I've had to do everything myself. And I find it pretty exhausting. (SIGHS) So, you think the police are looking for me? Do you want them to be? You're a pretty good cook. Are you the chef at your restaurant? Um, I'm sort of an everything man. I'm a sous-chef, and I help serve. But my manager said that he'll move me into the kitchen in time. What do you do? Oh... I'm an actress. - An actress? - Mm-hmm. I can see that. You'd be a really fantastic actress. I'd love to see your face on a movie screen. Wow. I mean... Why don't you open your own restaurant? You're too good of a cook to just be serving people. I've just had a piece of steak, for Christ sake. It's not that simple. Mm... Stealing a person is not simple, yet you've done that. You just have to want it badly enough. Fear is stupid. And so are most regrets. You know, I was scared to take you at first, but then I thought, if it's meant to be, it'll be. Well, you never tell me I'm pretty. - Uh, I think you're... - No, don't. Don't. Because if you say it now, it means that you don't mean it. So it's not gonna count. You need to tell me how to do these things. Okay. Not to be brash, but how much money do you make? How far have you thought this through? Are you gonna be able to financially support me? Because if you're gonna be my man, assuming that I'm not gonna be able to work, and I really want children. Do you? Um... Well, I'm inheriting a good sum of money from my grandmother. How much? Um... About $800,000. Wow, that's, uh... That's a lot. That's a seriously good life. Well, it's... Well, I'd rather have her. You know... I do believe that you're a good guy. I am. I'm glad we're doing this. What do we do next? Mm. Well... Next you would fuck me. And then over the next few weeks, you would fuck me again, and then you'd get bored, or you wouldn't want to get serious, so you would just start easing out. I'm never gonna lose interest in you. ( "THE NIGHT: NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN" PLAYING ) Nights in white satin Never reaching the end Letters I've written Never meaning to send Come on. Uh, I don't know how to dance. It's time to learn. With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how I love you Gazing at people Some hand in hand I feel stupid. I feel really stupid. Just enjoy yourself. You've got me in your arms. Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be You will be in the end And I love you Yes, I love you Take your clothes off. Is this okay? Yes. Now kiss me. Touch your tongue to mine. (BOTH MOANING) (MOANING) ROSY: Doug... DOUG: Yeah? I have to tell you something. JAMES: So what's it like being a hooker? Uh, I'm not a hooker. JAMES: What do you consider yourself? Um... I... Rosy... You have a flyaway. There you go. What do you consider yourself? I'm more of a hostess, I guess. You can pay me for my company, or you don't have to pay me at all, but I appreciate the encouragement. You could pay for a class or something if you believe in me. And if you don't like me walking home alone at night, you can buy me a car. JAMES: Sounds like a hooker to me. Is it, though? Because I'm not necessarily gong to sleep with a person. Not unless they make it worth your while? No. I only go out with the men I want to go out with, and I only sleep with the men I want to sleep with, whether or not they're giving me gifts. What's the most you made in one night? Ten grand. (JAMES EXCLAIMS) Really? Wow! What did you have to do to deserve that? (SCOFFS) Okay. I don't wanna do this anymore. Rosy, take a seat. You wanted to do this. Let's do it. Please. All I want is to be with you. Rosy... - Come on. - Why not? I pay you. What I like about this is that we don't have to worry about what it's gonna become. But you left your wife for me. I'm sorry. That didn't have anything to do with us. I can't take you home to meet my daughter. Do you understand me? No. Look... (DOOR SHUTS) Why do you do it? Because I can. Right now, everything is open to you, but you're not choosing anything. You're just waiting to be chosen. As an actress, as whatever else that you're out there doing. Okay. I'm leaving. JAMES: Rosy, wait. I don't think we should see each other anymore. (SOBBING) No. Just before you go, put these on. I don't need them. They make me feel better. We've taken a huge step forward. Me putting those on would just be going backwards. Please. Why didn't you ask me out in the first place? DOUG: You would have never given me a chance. ROSY: Mm. What's wrong? You're being weird. Are you upset about what I told you? DOUG: No. What's wrong, then? What are other men like? What did they make you do? (ROSY SIGHS) Did anyone ever hurt you? (ROSY GROANS) ROSY: Look, it's in the past. You are upset. It's not the easiest thing to swallow. You must have been going through some pretty hard stuff to go through something like that. I don't know. I just... It's a lot for me to process right now. (GRUNTS) Fuck you! - (PANTING) - DOUG: Rosy! DOUG: Damn it, Rosy! Get the fuck back here! (ROSY EXCLAIMS) Ow! (GRUNTING AND PANTING) (VEHICLE APPROACHING) Wait! Wait! Please! Help! No! (PANTING) Help! (DOG BARKING) (WHIMPERING AND PANTING) (PANTING) (MOTOR WHIRRING) Help! Help! Help! - No! - Shh! (ROSY SOBBING) I trusted you. No, you didn't. WAITER: Flat or sparkling? Sparkling, please. You look fetching. You know that guy? Who? The guy right over there who you just looked at. I, uh, I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, so that's a yes. Here's the menus for you. - Thank you. - Here you go, miss. Thank you. - ROSY: Oh! Oh! - Whoa! Whoa! (GLASS SHATTERS) Are you fucking kidding me? - WAITER: I'm sorry. - ROSY: It's fine. Don't worry. Accidents happen, and... You know what? I love the sound of breaking glass. WAITER: I'll get someone to clean that up. I also like the sound of breaking glass. What the fuck does that mean? WAITER: I'm so sorry. Just get some stuff to clean this up, please. What's wrong? Can I take you somewhere else? This place is ridiculous. Why? I like this place. You're just jealous that my ex is here. An ex isn't the same thing as a client. He wasn't my client. He's my ex. Why did you pretend not to know him? Because I knew that you would be upset. Great. An escort and an actress. Hey! JAMES: Either I'm paranoid or I'm right. ROSY: Now you look jealous. That just means that you care. No, I'm not jealous. And there's nothing to talk about. It's fine. - Really? - Really. It's fine? Fine. What's his name? Peter. Why don't we invite Peter over here to join us for dinner? ROSY: Stop. JAMES: If he's not a client, then what's the big deal? ROSY: Why are you always being so horrible to me? He's your friend. You guys should talk. - Catch up. - No. No. - Peter? - Seriously? Peter. Look, I didn't realize you were a good pal of Rosy's, and why don't you come over here and join us for a drink? You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm really sorry. (ROSY SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY) Please! I didn't mean to. I didn't mean to do this. I didn't mean to. I'm sorry! I'm so sorry. Please. (SOBBING) You really did clip yourself. I think you should wait a while before you go back to chopping wood. DOUG: Is there any way I could take off a few more dinner services? I don't have time for people who don't take work seriously. I just don't feel like this is what I wanna keep doing, and when you hired me, you said that you'd work me up to being a cook. Yeah. Well, considering how things have been going for the past couple of months, that's pretty rich. Sir, I think I quit. Doug. Doug. Doug. I can explain everything. Look at me, Doug. (MOANS SOFTLY) (WHIMPERS) (COUGHING) (BREATHES RASPILY) (COUGHING) (STRAINED BREATHING) Oi! I'm here! You can't ignore me forever! I'm gonna scream all day long! Fuck! Fuck you! Fuck! (GROWLING) Come on! Why don't you grow some balls for once! You're gonna listen to me! You motherfucking arsehole! (TELEPHONE RINGING) (MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY) (SPITS) (DOOR OPENING) Who were you talking to? Oh. I... (WHIMPERING) All right. Let me see your hand. Let me see your hand. (STRAINED BREATHING) Please. Please help me. I have a fever. I'm not feeling very well. I need help. I need a doctor. Please. (COUGHS) (BREATHING HEAVILY) Rosy... Rosy... Rosy. Rosy? (ROSY MUTTERS) You like the sound of breaking glass. (COUGHING) All right, if I get you a doctor, you gotta play along that you're my girlfriend, okay? There's gonna be some serious issues. I am your fucking girlfriend! (FOOTSTEPS POUNDING) (TELEPHONE RINGING) (HORN HONKING) Hey, hey, hey! What the hell's the matter with you? Doug? What the hell are you doing? You scared... You scared me half to death. I really need your help with something. It's a medical thing. And, uh... It's my girlfriend. (ROSY WHIMPERING) (ROSY COUGHING) Hello. (MOANING) DR. GODIN: Hello there. I'm Dr. Godin. Hi. I'm Rosy. Are you all right, Rosy? Uh, let's see what we have here. Ah, well, this... This is terribly infected. Why haven't you brought this girl to the hospital, Doug? This is very serious. - Um... - I didn't wanna go. I refused. I'm afraid of hospitals. And I don't have insurance. DR. GODIN: Well, you know, infections are the leading cause of death in this country. You don't wanna lose this leg. Mm-mmm. It's all right. It's all right. We're gonna take care of it. What... What exactly happened here? I slipped in the forest. Yeah. DR. GODIN: Oh. Are you afraid of needles too? No. Hold that. All right. All right. Deep breath. (ROSY GROANING) There. I'll take that. Oh, what... What are the bruises on your wrists from? Sex. It's from sex. (CHUCKLES) How long have you two been together? Uh, a few months. But we're very serious. Well, my wife and I got engaged after five months. - Are you still together? - Oh... Nineteen years this June. Ain't it the happiest years of my life? (CHUCKLING) It's a joke. I was just joking. The love of my life. She is the love of my life. ROSY: Do you have children? Yes, two daughters and my boy. Rosy wants children. DR. GODIN: Most women do. I am going to write some prescriptions for you to pick up right away. What is your last name, Rosy? Is there any way you could just make them out to me instead of her? Because my pharmacist is really crazy about letting me pick up medication that's not mine. - DR. GODIN: Uh... - Yes. And I can't go, because I'm too ill. I can't walk. I really can't do that. Last name? It's not a big deal. You could just make it out to me. Just do it. Just do it. DR. GODIN: I'll tell you what. If they give you a problem, you just give me a call. All right? What is your last name? Well, she actually took my last name, 'cause we just got married and we haven't told anybody yet. You know, break the big news. Well... congratulations. That's great. So, Rose Landver? Rosy Lanver. - DOUG: Landver. - Landver. Landver. All right. (TELEPHONE RINGING) Just let it ring. (TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING) All right. Here we go. You ready to drive me back? What is that on your pad? - What? - I just saw something written on your pad. I just... I... Prescription receipt. Shall we... Shall we go? Yeah, Dr. Godin? Yeah, Doug. Can I ask you something? - Shoot. - Here's... Do you think I'm a strange guy? I do, as a matter of fact. Do you think there's something wrong with me? Should I see a therapist? Would you like me to recommend you someone? Um... I mean, I just... I want you to guess what's my issue. I really couldn't say. I'm happy to refer you to someone... I have this fear of what people are thinking of me and I have things like just this fucking spirals of thought. And, uh... And it just happens to me every time I leave the house every fucking day. This really fucks me up. I'm just trying to figure out what it is. I'll find you someone good. (CLICKS TONGUE) Dr. Godin... DR. GODIN: Yeah? You got any marriage advice for us? (DR. GODIN LAUGHS) Oh... They say it helps to have a short memory. Mm-hmm. Anything else besides that? Honestly... I think, uh, the most important thing I have learned is relationship is hard work. How do you mean? Uh, people... You know, people expect love to make things easy. Life's not easy. But it feels good when you... get through hard stuff together. So... Thank you. Thanks. Thank you. Really. I have to go home now. After you. Let's go. DR. GODIN: Take care, Rosy. ROSY: Doug... Doug! DOUG: Hey, Doc. One more thing. DR. GODIN: Yeah? - (LOUD BLOWS) - (DR. GODIN GROANING) - (BLOWS CONTINUE) - (DR. GODIN CRYING OUT) (BLOWS CONTINUE) - (DOOR SLAMS) - ROSY: What have you done? You see what you did? - What did I do? - You tried to fuck me over again. What are you talking about? You tried to turn me in. No, I didn't. It says "captive" on one of these papers. I saw, you wrote "captive" on one of these papers, and it's somewhere in here and I'm gonna find it. ROSY: No, I didn't. Where is it? What did he do with it? - Where is it? Where is it? - (SHUSHING) (BIRDS TWITTERING) (TELEPHONE RINGING) (TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING) (RUSTLING) (DOUG MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY) (OBJECTS CLATTERING) (CONTINUES MUTTERING) (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING) (DOOR OPENING) I need you to help me bury the body. ROSY: Does anyone know that he came here? DOUG: One, two, three... - Up, up. - (STRAINS) All right, listen. I'm sorry about what happened with me and you. I got really upset, because you said that you needed to process what I told you. DOUG: What? Which means you, you don't trust me. And I, I am a trustworthy person. You hit me in the head with an ax. - No. technically I... - Yeah, yeah. You did. You hit me straight in in the head with an ax. No, I jabbed you in the head with the ax handle. I know. Wrong move. It's just I got over-anxious and I jumped the gun. I'm sorry. What are you talking about? How could you do this to me? My brain tells me to run, and my heart tells me to stay. I mean, how do you expect me to navigate a situation like this? DOUG: Keep your fucking voice down. It's just I have to wait for you to be ready. I just... felt that I had come so far, and then you rejected me! I also felt that you judged me about my past. DOUG: I never judged you. That's your issue. ROSY: You said that you had to process things before you knew if you could still love me. DOUG: No, I needed to process the idea that you could actually love me. (PANTING) Uh... I'm not this kind of person. - ROSY: I know. - I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I'm just... I'm just a guy who... who, you know, has a really hard time with things. And... (SOBBING) ROSY: It's okay. Come on, just... Just cry and get it over with. Uh... (SIGHS DEEPLY) (GRUNTS) Doug... Did you ever like me? Yes. I love you. (BREATHING HEAVILY) (ROSY YELLS) (DOUG YELLS) Fuck! (GROANS) Rosy! Rosy! (ROSY WHIMPERS) Oh, here we go again! Round and round we go! Why am I not surprised? Another time you stabbed me in the back! You stabbed me in the fucking back. ROSY: I saw your gun! You were gonna shoot me. DOUG: Oh, that's right. Everything is a reaction to what I do, huh? It's all my fault. It's all my fault! Rosy! Rosy. You know, I like it when you hurt me. I like it because it makes me less and less attracted to you, which makes this a whole lot easier for me. Because you're not who I thought you were. You know, the police won't stop calling me. I killed a guy for you, he's in the ground. I did that for you. I even killed my grandmother for you. And you broke my heart! You broke my heart! And even though you broke my heart, I can't stop thinking about you. I cannot sleep, I cannot eat. I can't do anything. I'm a mess. I'm in love with you! I'm in love with you. Goddamn it. (CLATTERS) I knew what you were doing with those men. I looked you up. I followed you. I just wanted to protect you from yourself. I knew that I would never hurt you. Ah, fuck. (ROSY SCREAMS) I deserve better than all of this! You don't care about me. You just took me for yourself. You don't give a shit about my life. DOUG: Did you like your life? ROSY: Oh! How dare you? I'm still figuring it all out. DOUG: Just shoot me. Do it. Shoot me. - You sorry... - (GUNSHOT) (THUDS) (ROSY WEEPS SOFTLY) I love you, Rosy. ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) You ready? Mm-hmm. ( FRENCH SONG PLAYING ) ( MUSIC ) ( MUSIC ) ( MUSIC ) ( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING ) My darling, I've Been starving for your love My darling, I've Been starving for your love Please say I'll stay For a little longer I won't stray |
