00:02:31 |
Dead means they're broken? |
00:02:35 |
Well, their bodies |
00:02:39 |
And they're under the ground? |
00:02:43 |
Tell me what dead is. |
00:02:46 |
Mmm. When you... |
00:02:50 |
When you look at the photographs |
00:02:54 |
do you remember the stories |
00:02:56 |
Yes. |
00:02:59 |
Tom and Timmy are alive |
00:03:04 |
It makes me sad |
00:03:07 |
Makes me sad too, Ruthie. |
00:03:10 |
But Mommy's sadder. |
00:03:14 |
Well, yes. |
00:03:48 |
Uh-huh. |
00:03:52 |
Does your son have a driver's license? |
00:03:55 |
Jesus. |
00:03:57 |
Heh! |
00:04:00 |
Yeah? |
00:04:05 |
Yeah. |
00:04:07 |
All right. |
00:04:24 |
Eh, it still gets cold |
00:04:27 |
Thanks. |
00:04:30 |
Jesus. Look at this yard. |
00:04:36 |
We should clear out some of these |
00:04:43 |
I want to put in a swimming pool. |
00:04:45 |
Why? |
00:04:47 |
Oh, for Ruth when she gets older. |
00:04:51 |
Something like the one we had |
00:04:55 |
And the lawn... |
00:05:02 |
No. |
00:05:04 |
Look at this picture. |
00:05:09 |
That's Minty O'Hare's son... the |
00:05:14 |
He wants a summer job. |
00:05:16 |
He wants to be a writer. |
00:05:18 |
What would he do for you? |
00:05:20 |
It's mainly for the experience, |
00:05:23 |
I mean, if he's thinking about becoming a writer, |
00:05:30 |
What would he actually do for you? |
00:05:33 |
Mmm, well... |
00:05:42 |
I've been thinking. |
00:05:46 |
I want to try separating... |
00:05:54 |
Just temporarily. |
00:06:28 |
So you began your career writing novels? |
00:06:30 |
Yes, but they were terrible novels. Uh, |
00:06:36 |
before I realized |
00:06:40 |
I am simply a entertainer of children, |
00:06:44 |
Edward, don't be nervous |
00:06:47 |
He's an Exonion. |
00:06:50 |
His sons were charming boys... |
00:06:52 |
but... mediocre students. |
00:06:56 |
Why do cautionary tales for children come so |
00:06:59 |
Well, I think I can imagine |
00:07:02 |
Um, in my stories, |
00:07:05 |
uh, you can see what's coming, but you don't see |
00:07:09 |
Note his work habits. |
00:07:12 |
See if there's a method |
00:07:14 |
And... above all... |
00:07:17 |
throw yourself in headlong and just |
00:07:22 |
In my opinion, there is no better opening to any story |
00:07:25 |
I mean, the first lines... |
00:07:30 |
Daddy, I had a dream. |
00:07:33 |
I heard a sound. |
00:07:36 |
Uh, what sort of sound, Ruth? |
00:07:38 |
It's in the house, |
00:07:48 |
Hmm. |
00:07:51 |
Well, let's go look for it then. |
00:07:54 |
It's a sound that's trying to be quiet? |
00:07:58 |
It was a sound like someone |
00:08:15 |
Your penis looks funny. |
00:08:19 |
My penis is funny. |
00:08:23 |
Come out sound. |
00:08:27 |
I'll tell you a story |
00:08:31 |
One night when Thomas |
00:08:34 |
and Timothy was still in diapers, |
00:08:37 |
Tommy heard a sound. |
00:08:42 |
Oh, Tom woke up, |
00:08:44 |
but Tim did not. |
00:08:48 |
And Tom woke up his father... |
00:08:51 |
and asked him, |
00:08:56 |
There's the sound again," |
00:09:00 |
"It's a monster!" he cried. |
00:09:03 |
"It's just a mouse... |
00:09:06 |
crawling between the walls," |
00:09:09 |
his father said, |
00:09:11 |
and thumped the wall hard |
00:09:14 |
And the mouse... |
00:09:17 |
Scurried away. |
00:09:20 |
"It's just a mouse. |
00:09:23 |
That's all," Tom said. |
00:09:25 |
And he quickly fell asleep. |
00:09:28 |
But Tim, |
00:09:31 |
he stayed awake all night long. |
00:09:34 |
And every time that thing crawling |
00:09:39 |
he'd hit the wall, |
00:09:41 |
and he'd listen to the monster... |
00:09:44 |
scurry away, |
00:09:46 |
dragging his thick, wet fur, |
00:09:49 |
and no arms and no legs with it. |
00:09:55 |
- And that... |
00:10:01 |
Where's Mommy? |
00:10:05 |
Mommy, uh... It's her turn |
00:10:07 |
It's my turn tomorrow night. |
00:10:11 |
- Okay. |
00:10:17 |
Hmm. Everyone has mice. |
00:10:21 |
Mice are everywhere. |
00:10:25 |
See you in the morning, Ruthie. |
00:11:36 |
Eddie? Eddie? |
00:11:43 |
Mrs. Cole? |
00:11:48 |
Come. |
00:11:52 |
You can drive, can't you? |
00:11:56 |
I know boys your age. They love |
00:12:00 |
Yes, ma'am. But I don't |
00:12:04 |
It's an automatic. |
00:12:07 |
Yes, ma'am. |
00:12:10 |
Sorry about before. I was... |
00:12:12 |
I was expecting Mr. Cole. |
00:12:15 |
Ted lost his license |
00:12:18 |
You're not at Exeter anymore. |
00:12:23 |
Okay. |
00:13:09 |
Aren't you coming in? |
00:13:11 |
Not tonight. |
00:13:31 |
Did it hurt? |
00:13:34 |
No, I'm all right. I'm all right. |
00:13:37 |
It is an honor to meet you, sir. |
00:13:39 |
I want to thank you in advance for this |
00:13:44 |
Ed, this is Doctor Loomis. |
00:13:47 |
Hi. |
00:13:50 |
I was class of'61. |
00:13:52 |
So, Tuesday, yeah? Right. |
00:13:55 |
Nice to meet you, Eddie. Ciao. |
00:13:58 |
I've read all your novels and |
00:14:00 |
Yeah, 3:30. |
00:14:04 |
I've... I read all your novels |
00:14:07 |
and my favorite is The |
00:14:09 |
Well, you're probably one of the few |
00:14:15 |
So, uh, what makes you think |
00:14:18 |
Oh, I wrote something, |
00:14:21 |
I'd be extremely honored if you might read |
00:14:25 |
Well, writing is rigorous work. |
00:14:30 |
Yeah. Many of my books contain |
00:14:35 |
every word must be examined and |
00:14:39 |
You're going to be spending the whole summer |
00:14:43 |
- The right word. The true word. |
00:14:45 |
I'm prepared to throw myself in headlong |
00:14:48 |
Yeah, because I'm sure there'll be |
00:14:52 |
Oh, all right. |
00:14:55 |
I'm, uh, using squid ink for my new book, |
00:14:59 |
and for all my drawings now. |
00:15:02 |
There's a, uh... |
00:15:04 |
a woman in Montauk, |
00:15:07 |
She collects the squid ink for me. |
00:15:10 |
Ah, you can go tomorrow. You see her |
00:15:15 |
Also, I have to tell you... |
00:15:20 |
you've arrived here during what is |
00:15:25 |
Uh, Marion and I, we're separating... |
00:15:29 |
temporarily, on a trial basis. |
00:15:32 |
And I've, uh... |
00:15:35 |
and every other night one of us |
00:15:38 |
Uh, during the day, you'll work there |
00:15:43 |
but you'll sleep here. |
00:15:47 |
I know it seems |
00:15:50 |
it's hard to know what's... |
00:15:54 |
Anyway, your bedroom is in the main |
00:16:00 |
Uh, you want to take your stuff up |
00:16:03 |
Unpack. |
00:16:06 |
Okay, well, |
00:16:08 |
make yourself comfortable, Eddie. |
00:16:11 |
Thank you, sir. |
00:16:13 |
And... I'm sorry about your marriage. |
00:16:16 |
Me too, Eddie. |
00:16:19 |
Anyway, |
00:16:22 |
I'm sure you're gonna do great here. |
00:16:25 |
It's gonna be a good summer for ya. |
00:17:00 |
** |
00:17:20 |
Did you see the shrine? |
00:17:22 |
Mm-hmm. |
00:17:25 |
It's sad. |
00:17:28 |
You go to Exeter, right? |
00:17:30 |
An "upper"? |
00:17:34 |
like, kind of like a junior. Your |
00:17:37 |
So you get to go for free? |
00:17:40 |
He was their teacher, right? |
00:17:42 |
I guess. |
00:17:47 |
- Did you know them before they died? |
00:17:50 |
When I was in eighth grade |
00:17:55 |
Really? Yeah. He was |
00:17:59 |
His name was, like, |
00:18:04 |
It was probably a nickname. |
00:18:12 |
You know, it... it's quite common |
00:18:18 |
It is. |
00:18:43 |
Oh, great, you got it. |
00:18:45 |
Just in time. |
00:18:47 |
Uh, here, wait. |
00:18:53 |
Here. I want you to, uh, |
00:18:56 |
put it in here |
00:18:59 |
What should I do next? |
00:19:01 |
I'm sketching a model. |
00:19:05 |
L... I could straighten up |
00:19:08 |
No, no. Go ahead. |
00:19:10 |
Anything really. I just want |
00:19:14 |
Contemplating the waves... |
00:19:17 |
will be a hell of a lot more useful to you |
00:19:22 |
Okay. |
00:19:25 |
plenty more rigorous work to do... |
00:19:29 |
at some point in the near future. |
00:19:33 |
Don't spill that stuff. |
00:19:51 |
Take your dress off, please. |
00:20:09 |
And your bra. |
00:21:04 |
Morning, Eddie. |
00:21:06 |
Morning, ma'am. |
00:22:40 |
Bright, yeah.! Colors.! |
00:23:37 |
Hi. |
00:23:39 |
Did you just see that movie? |
00:23:41 |
Me too. |
00:23:45 |
- Is that your dinner? |
00:23:47 |
I... got kind of tired of burgers. |
00:23:52 |
Ted doesn't get you anything? |
00:23:55 |
I mean, he would. |
00:23:59 |
I don't think your parents would like it if |
00:24:03 |
They wouldn't mind, |
00:24:10 |
Eddie, would you like |
00:24:13 |
I'll make sure you get |
00:24:17 |
Okay. |
00:24:19 |
Yeah. |
00:24:22 |
Thanks. Good night. |
00:24:24 |
See you. |
00:25:08 |
Eddie? |
00:25:10 |
Just one second.! |
00:25:13 |
Ruth wanted to be sure that one |
00:25:16 |
She gets anxious if she can't see them |
00:25:22 |
Which one was it, sweetie? |
00:25:25 |
Ahh. |
00:25:27 |
He's just a little broken, |
00:25:30 |
Not yet. |
00:25:32 |
- Where's feet? |
00:25:36 |
Where are the feet? |
00:25:39 |
Sorry, Eddie. |
00:25:42 |
We've gotten in the habit of showing Ruth these |
00:25:45 |
That's okay. |
00:25:47 |
Ahh, see? |
00:25:50 |
What did he do? |
00:26:49 |
That's Mrs. Vaughn. |
00:26:51 |
Came over to discuss some sketches. |
00:26:55 |
Uh, guess she's an early riser. |
00:27:00 |
Do you want me to drive |
00:27:02 |
I'm gonna... I'm gonna walk. |
00:27:05 |
Um, after I finish, what should |
00:28:32 |
Eddie, I should have knocked. |
00:28:39 |
It's my fault. |
00:28:43 |
I'm just... I'm just embarrassed. |
00:28:50 |
Eddie? |
00:29:02 |
Come here, please. |
00:29:13 |
It's funny. |
00:29:19 |
Eddie? |
00:29:21 |
Look at me. |
00:29:25 |
Sit. |
00:29:39 |
I know boys your age. |
00:29:41 |
I know it's what boys your age do, |
00:29:45 |
Look, Eddie, I am flattered. |
00:29:49 |
It felt good to know that someone |
00:29:54 |
Oh, not to assume that you |
00:29:59 |
Maybe about my clothes. And I know you |
00:30:03 |
- I didn't... |
00:30:08 |
It was a pink sweater, |
00:30:12 |
Oh! |
00:30:15 |
That sweater, it's so old. |
00:30:19 |
Because of how it must feel |
00:30:25 |
Oh. |
00:30:32 |
Would you do me a favor? |
00:30:37 |
Take this down with you. |
00:30:40 |
Please? |
00:30:44 |
Thank you. |
00:31:04 |
I'll probably be about an hour. |
00:31:14 |
- Hey, do you want your supplies? |
00:31:58 |
Hi. |
00:32:00 |
You look nice. |
00:32:03 |
The tie or the jacket. |
00:32:07 |
Okay. |
00:32:13 |
How's the work going for you? |
00:32:16 |
I just retype A Sound Like Someone |
00:32:19 |
Sometimes he changes |
00:32:22 |
and then the next morning |
00:32:28 |
He needs a computer. |
00:32:32 |
That's why he hired you, |
00:32:40 |
I don't get to drive |
00:32:48 |
Eddie, you're so serious. |
00:32:51 |
Boys your age |
00:32:55 |
I know a joke, |
00:32:59 |
Tell me. |
00:33:01 |
There's this battleship out in the ocean, |
00:33:05 |
this captain learns that the mother of |
00:33:10 |
And the sailor's name |
00:33:13 |
So the captain thinks and thinks, and he tries to come up |
00:33:18 |
And finally after staying up all night, |
00:33:24 |
So the next morning he calls |
00:33:29 |
"Gentlemen, all of you whose mothers |
00:33:34 |
Not so fast, Abernathy. " |
00:33:40 |
L- I like that joke, Eddie. L... |
00:33:43 |
I do. I do. |
00:33:54 |
Why don't you ask Alice |
00:33:59 |
She's not my type. |
00:34:02 |
Well, she's a good nanny anyway. |
00:34:18 |
I think it was wrong of us |
00:34:24 |
When we first moved here, |
00:34:27 |
a new place, |
00:34:30 |
a new child, |
00:34:32 |
a new life, I suppose. |
00:34:37 |
Ted's a good father. |
00:34:41 |
But he doesn't really know how |
00:34:47 |
And I can't. |
00:34:50 |
I can't with her. |
00:35:02 |
I picked that one |
00:35:05 |
and you can almost imagine |
00:35:12 |
Timothy looks guilty. |
00:35:15 |
Thomas looks like a wild animal. |
00:35:26 |
This one's funny. |
00:35:29 |
Tommy looks so... |
00:35:33 |
scared. |
00:36:21 |
I hope I'm not disturbing you. |
00:36:27 |
You can tell in this picture... |
00:36:31 |
Timothy is more introspective, |
00:36:33 |
like you. |
00:36:43 |
And you know where this is? |
00:36:46 |
What does it say? |
00:36:50 |
"Come hither, boys, and become men. '" |
00:36:57 |
Not pink with lilac. |
00:37:01 |
Oh. |
00:37:03 |
I wasn't thinking about the colors. |
00:37:08 |
I don't know if they had sex. |
00:37:11 |
Thomas, maybe. He was so popular. |
00:37:14 |
But, Timothy, he was so shy. |
00:37:21 |
That's all boys want, isn't it? |
00:37:24 |
Yes. |
00:37:27 |
Before I die. |
00:37:39 |
Have you had sex, Eddie? |
00:37:48 |
No. |
00:37:55 |
Well, it's too hot in here, |
00:37:59 |
so I hope you'll forgive me |
00:38:55 |
You still really haven't had sex, |
00:38:59 |
Not really. |
00:39:03 |
No, not really. |
00:39:09 |
But I feel... |
00:39:12 |
I feel complete. |
00:39:21 |
Come here. |
00:39:50 |
"There was a little boy |
00:39:55 |
"His mommy didn't know if |
00:39:58 |
"They lived in a cabin in the woods |
00:40:03 |
"and there was no one else around. |
00:40:06 |
"And in the cabin |
00:40:12 |
"The little boy was afraid of what |
00:40:16 |
"and the mommy was afraid too. |
00:40:19 |
"Once, long ago, other children had come |
00:40:25 |
"but the children had opened |
00:40:28 |
"and had disappeared down the hole. |
00:40:32 |
"The mommy had tried |
00:40:35 |
"but when she opened the door in the |
00:40:40 |
"that her hair turned |
00:40:43 |
"like the hair of a ghost. |
00:40:46 |
"And the mommy had |
00:40:51 |
"things so horrible |
00:40:56 |
"And so the mommy wondered... |
00:40:59 |
"if she wanted to have a little boy, |
00:41:02 |
"especially because of everything |
00:41:06 |
"And then she thought,"Why not? |
00:41:11 |
"I'll just tell him not to open |
00:41:16 |
"Yet the little boy... |
00:41:18 |
"still didn't know |
00:41:21 |
"into a world where there was |
00:41:25 |
"But there were some beautiful things |
00:41:29 |
"on the island and in the lake. |
00:41:32 |
"Why not take a chance? 'he thought. |
00:41:36 |
"And so the little boy was born |
00:41:42 |
"and his mommy was happy again too. |
00:41:47 |
"Although she told the boy... |
00:41:49 |
"at least once every day, |
00:41:52 |
"Don't ever, not ever, |
00:41:56 |
"never, never, never... |
00:41:58 |
"open the door in the floor. ' |
00:42:05 |
"But, of course, he was only a little boy. |
00:42:09 |
"If you were that little boy, |
00:42:12 |
wouldn't you want to open |
00:42:25 |
The publisher thinks the drawings are too |
00:42:29 |
But, um, I'm just |
00:42:32 |
and I like to draw. |
00:42:38 |
Nudes, uh... Nudes are a requisite |
00:42:42 |
like... like landscapes. |
00:42:45 |
No. Long Island's too flat. |
00:42:48 |
You don't prefer to use |
00:42:52 |
If nakedness... I mean, the feeling of |
00:42:56 |
well, there's no nakedness that compares to what it feels |
00:43:01 |
Hmm? Right, Eddie? |
00:43:04 |
Yes. Yeah. No. |
00:43:14 |
I'm grateful to you, Eddie. Oh, it's |
00:43:18 |
No, I mean, uh, |
00:43:21 |
I'm grateful to you for being |
00:43:27 |
She's been so unhappy. |
00:43:30 |
It's good to see her smiling again. |
00:44:46 |
Hello, Cole residence. |
00:44:51 |
No, he's not here yet. |
00:44:57 |
Unsteady? |
00:45:13 |
Excuse me, Mr. Cole. |
00:45:16 |
Um, Patrick called |
00:45:22 |
- He said you might want a ride home. |
00:45:29 |
Go on home, Eddie. |
00:45:32 |
Sorry, Mr. Cole. Good night. |
00:46:45 |
Ready, Eddie? |
00:46:47 |
Ahh. |
00:46:51 |
I, uh, converted this barn into a squash |
00:46:56 |
Not quite regulation |
00:46:59 |
Plus, uh, there's a dead spot |
00:47:03 |
So, basically, I'm considered |
00:47:07 |
to be unbeatable on my own court. |
00:47:10 |
You play much? |
00:47:14 |
Ahh, well, don't expect |
00:47:18 |
I'm gonna grind you |
00:47:21 |
Huh! |
00:47:36 |
Where those red lines intersect, |
00:47:39 |
Whoever controls the "T" |
00:47:43 |
You need to win control of the "T" |
00:47:48 |
7- love. |
00:48:04 |
Aah! Jesus! |
00:48:06 |
Yeah, I'm fine. |
00:48:09 |
Yeah, it was a good shot though. |
00:48:12 |
Isn't that a let? Aren't you supposed |
00:48:15 |
Well, technically you're right, |
00:48:18 |
Can't just take the "T." |
00:48:28 |
Aah! |
00:48:34 |
You look like a boy |
00:48:38 |
Maybe you need to catch up |
00:49:11 |
Stop screaming, honey. |
00:49:16 |
G- Go back to bed, okay? |
00:49:19 |
- Okay? |
00:49:27 |
Did you get the stamps? |
00:49:34 |
They still have the ones with |
00:49:40 |
Anyway, I, uh... |
00:49:44 |
I presume it was Marion's mistake, |
00:49:46 |
but surely it was a mistake for the |
00:49:54 |
I'm not threatening you, |
00:49:58 |
that, uh, you may be called |
00:50:02 |
In the event of a custody dispute, |
00:50:11 |
I would never have let a child see me |
00:50:15 |
has really made no effort |
00:50:18 |
from seeing what she saw. |
00:50:21 |
And if you are asked to testify |
00:50:26 |
I trust that you won't lie... |
00:50:36 |
From the sound of it, |
00:50:40 |
not that I have a personal problem |
00:50:44 |
But for a child, |
00:50:48 |
I imagine doing it doggishly... |
00:50:50 |
must seem especially animalistic. |
00:51:10 |
I'll only be about 25 minutes today. |
00:51:15 |
Just a quick sketch. |
00:51:24 |
I've never been unfaithful to Ted. |
00:51:35 |
Why didn't you leave him? |
00:51:39 |
Ted understands me. |
00:51:45 |
Ted's the only one that really |
00:51:54 |
You don't need some time? |
00:52:03 |
Aah! What are you doing? |
00:52:07 |
Okay. Ready? |
00:52:11 |
He starts with conventional portraits... |
00:52:14 |
a mother, a child. |
00:52:17 |
Then the mother, |
00:52:21 |
Then the nudes go through phases, |
00:52:25 |
like innocence, modesty, |
00:52:28 |
degradation... |
00:52:31 |
and shame. |
00:52:33 |
Mrs. Vaughn? |
00:52:36 |
Mrs. Vaughn is experiencing the... |
00:52:39 |
degrading phase right now. |
00:52:44 |
Move your head to the light. |
00:52:51 |
To the... |
00:52:56 |
Evelyn. |
00:53:54 |
I want to know more about you. |
00:53:57 |
You know too much already. |
00:54:09 |
Tell me about the accident. |
00:54:13 |
I mean, do you know |
00:54:17 |
or was it anybody's fault? |
00:54:29 |
Marion? |
00:54:41 |
M- Marion? |
00:54:51 |
Mommy. |
00:55:36 |
It was early in the morning, |
00:55:41 |
Thomas and Timothy crawled under the |
00:00:04 |
Well, maybe it never happened. |
00:00:07 |
You know, maybe it was just a dream. No. |
00:00:11 |
I guess it's just a mystery. |
00:00:16 |
Don't you want to go back to bed? |
00:00:19 |
Bring the picture. |
00:00:23 |
That's true. |
00:00:44 |
Mommy.! Mommy.! |
00:00:55 |
Ow. Ow.! |
00:00:59 |
She cut her finger, badly. |
00:01:06 |
Shh. It's okay. |
00:01:10 |
No. You're not |
00:01:14 |
You're not going to die. |
00:01:19 |
You don't understand. I put the |
00:01:23 |
That's not the point. The point is, you shouldn't |
00:01:28 |
That's her mother's job. |
00:01:31 |
I doubt it. I doubt "asleep" would |
00:01:35 |
I did it to her. I asked her |
00:01:39 |
Ah, it doesn't matter. |
00:01:41 |
She was a great mother to the boys, |
00:01:45 |
It's my fault. |
00:01:51 |
Ruthie, please. |
00:01:53 |
- Come on now. Go to sleep now. Please. |
00:01:56 |
I'm here, sweetie. Come on. Mommy! |
00:01:58 |
Mommy! Come on. Now, please, Ruth. |
00:02:00 |
Mommy! |
00:02:02 |
Mommy! Mommy! Come on. |
00:02:13 |
She had a bad dream. |
00:02:18 |
What kind of banging noise? |
00:02:22 |
What difference does it make? |
00:02:29 |
Come on, honey. |
00:02:31 |
It's okay. |
00:02:34 |
It's okay. Shh. Shh. |
00:02:39 |
It's okay. |
00:02:43 |
It's okay. It's okay. |
00:03:10 |
It's okay. |
00:03:40 |
Take me back. |
00:03:48 |
Like you should |
00:03:51 |
Lick this just like you should |
00:03:53 |
My neck, my back |
00:03:58 |
My neck, my back |
00:04:03 |
Leave it! Goddamn it. |
00:04:06 |
That nigga, get on your knees A bitch |
00:04:10 |
Thug misses know what I mean |
00:04:15 |
Hos hatin'niggas watchin'me |
00:05:45 |
Why now? |
00:05:49 |
I've stayed too long already. |
00:06:37 |
You want me |
00:06:39 |
I want you to give her these, |
00:06:45 |
Just the drawings... |
00:06:48 |
Isn't she expecting you? |
00:06:50 |
Tell her I'm not coming, |
00:06:53 |
but I wanted her to have the drawings. |
00:06:59 |
It... It might be, um, awkward... |
00:07:03 |
to ask for the portfolio back. |
00:07:05 |
It won't be a problem. |
00:07:13 |
L |
00:07:18 |
He said he wanted you |
00:07:21 |
Oh. |
00:07:23 |
Uh, but when is he coming? |
00:07:27 |
I have the whole day for him on Friday. |
00:07:31 |
Will you stop? |
00:07:34 |
L- I don't know. |
00:07:36 |
- Uh... |
00:07:44 |
My God, I'm locked out. |
00:07:46 |
You're gonna have to break in. |
00:07:55 |
You're gonna have to carry me |
00:07:59 |
How dare you? How |
00:08:04 |
You're not exactly living an "un-sordid" life |
00:08:08 |
Oh, go! |
00:08:13 |
- Why did she think you looked at the drawings? Did you? |
00:08:17 |
Oh, Christ. Of course you did. No. |
00:08:22 |
Jesus. She did what? She didn't mean to, but she |
00:08:27 |
- Jesus Christ.! |
00:08:31 |
She said you liked all the doors to be locked, |
00:08:35 |
She told you that? |
00:08:37 |
She said she had the whole day |
00:08:40 |
I can't spend the whole day |
00:08:43 |
You're gonna have to come and pick me up |
00:08:50 |
On Friday morning, |
00:08:53 |
I know... for half an hour. |
00:08:56 |
No. You're never going back, |
00:09:00 |
and it'll take him all day |
00:09:05 |
Mrs. Vaughn won't offer him a ride. |
00:09:09 |
I don't expect him back before dark. |
00:09:11 |
Ted's gonna be really pissed off. |
00:09:18 |
I read your, um... your story. |
00:09:21 |
Oh. I thought you forgot. No. I just |
00:09:27 |
It's not very good, is it? |
00:09:31 |
very... very personal. |
00:09:33 |
It's, um... |
00:09:36 |
Well, it's just a collection of personal |
00:09:41 |
It's, uh... I was just tryin' to see if |
00:09:44 |
Oh, it seems true. It, uh, |
00:09:48 |
Sort of a... |
00:09:53 |
it isn't really a story. |
00:09:56 |
And that, uh... the guy, Hank... you |
00:10:01 |
You need to prepare a reader |
00:10:05 |
It just... It didn't seem like |
00:10:10 |
you need to let your audience |
00:10:15 |
you know, anticipate what's gonna |
00:10:19 |
But, um, you have to guide them |
00:10:22 |
There's a part of writing that, uh, |
00:10:26 |
involves a certain manipulation. |
00:10:30 |
That may seem cold to you, but it is, you know, sort of cold. L |
00:10:35 |
Everything in fiction is a tool: |
00:10:42 |
even death. |
00:10:44 |
These are, you know... |
00:10:47 |
These are like, uh, different colors on |
00:10:58 |
Also, the details... |
00:11:03 |
Specific details, they... |
00:11:11 |
Not being specific, that's just sloppy. |
00:11:15 |
S- Specific details? |
00:11:18 |
smells, taste... details. |
00:11:24 |
But I'll tell ya, for a, uh... |
00:11:27 |
for a first effort, it's not that bad. |
00:11:30 |
You know, the, uh... |
00:11:32 |
The prose is a little purple, a little |
00:11:37 |
You're welcome. |
00:11:43 |
You ever think about |
00:11:47 |
Be easier to do your own revisions that |
00:11:59 |
Maybe the next book. |
00:12:11 |
Oh, boy. |
00:12:17 |
I'm not gonna last |
00:12:20 |
Twenty minutes tops, |
00:12:37 |
Five. |
00:12:55 |
Lfhe hits you, hit him back. |
00:12:59 |
At worst, he'll slap you. |
00:13:02 |
You should make a fist, |
00:13:05 |
If you punch him in the nose, |
00:13:11 |
You can call Alice to help |
00:13:14 |
You better start to like her a little. |
00:13:17 |
When Ted kicks you out, you're going to |
00:13:22 |
And who's gonna |
00:13:28 |
I won't be a bad mother to her. |
00:13:31 |
I'd rather be no mother |
00:13:34 |
That doesn't |
00:13:41 |
I don't want her |
00:13:44 |
Remember, honey, don't cry |
00:13:48 |
I promise you, it won't hurt. |
00:13:51 |
Can I keep the stitches |
00:14:03 |
You can take her anywhere for lunch. All she |
00:14:09 |
And ketchup. |
00:14:13 |
I have money. |
00:14:27 |
I love you. |
00:14:29 |
So long, Eddie. |
00:14:48 |
Evelyn. Evelyn, wait! Wait now! |
00:14:51 |
Come here, goddamn it! |
00:14:53 |
Evelyn, Evelyn, Evelyn. |
00:14:55 |
Evelyn! |
00:15:18 |
Why the hell did he... |
00:15:35 |
Oh-oh. |
00:15:39 |
Run! |
00:16:46 |
All right. |
00:16:51 |
Did we get the picture? |
00:16:54 |
Feet. Oh, the photograph. |
00:16:58 |
That's not very nice. My stitches |
00:17:03 |
Yeah. You know what? You're right. Let's go to the frame |
00:17:16 |
Ted Cole? |
00:17:18 |
Yes. It is. It is Ted Cole. |
00:17:20 |
It is Ted Cole. It is. |
00:17:24 |
Don't be silly. It's nothing |
00:17:27 |
Could you... Ah! Get Mr. Cole a chair. |
00:17:29 |
Can't you see he's bleeding? |
00:17:31 |
Look, I... No, you look. If there's no |
00:17:34 |
There must be someone else here besides you, |
00:17:40 |
Did you got mad at her? |
00:17:45 |
To put it simply, I need |
00:17:49 |
I'll take you myself. |
00:17:52 |
Of course, um, I'm going |
00:17:55 |
She's probably out shopping, |
00:17:58 |
You see, my car, it's in the shop. Mm. |
00:18:03 |
I use a bicycle, |
00:18:07 |
Mm. Too bad. |
00:18:12 |
You warned him, you disgusting cretin. |
00:18:14 |
If you have killed him, Mrs. Vaughn, |
00:18:19 |
You want this? Hmm? |
00:18:23 |
I understand that you're angry. |
00:18:27 |
When my customers are angry, I ask them to voice |
00:18:32 |
I work for Ted Cole. I'm a writer's assistant. |
00:18:51 |
"60 times. " Really? |
00:18:54 |
Yes. |
00:19:05 |
The Vaughns of Gin Lane? |
00:19:08 |
We framed a painting by Sibley for |
00:19:14 |
Please go on. |
00:19:17 |
Your signature is very, very beautiful. |
00:19:21 |
I need a pen with a broader nib. |
00:19:26 |
Red like blood, |
00:19:28 |
Yes. Of course. |
00:20:04 |
This is Ruth. She's four. |
00:20:10 |
What do you want from me? |
00:20:13 |
It's of Ruth's mother. |
00:20:16 |
It's not a good picture of the boys. |
00:20:18 |
- Yes, I know. Ruth likes the feet. |
00:20:22 |
Yes, dear. |
00:20:24 |
I'll go check. Should be |
00:20:28 |
Can I have my writing back, please? |
00:20:30 |
It's really not out of my way. |
00:20:36 |
No. That's all right. |
00:20:39 |
It's not trouble. |
00:20:42 |
No. Really. There you are. If you need |
00:20:46 |
L |
00:20:54 |
There's no charge for the photograph. |
00:21:04 |
Yes. |
00:21:07 |
- Is the blood all gone? |
00:21:10 |
As good as new. |
00:21:13 |
- Okay. Thanks. |
00:21:17 |
perhaps next summer. |
00:21:19 |
I can always use an extra |
00:21:26 |
She wrote her freshman English |
00:21:28 |
Mmm. |
00:21:34 |
Uh, "An Analysis of the Atavistic Symbols |
00:21:40 |
As you know, um, myths and fairy tales |
00:21:44 |
like magic doors |
00:21:47 |
and people being so frightened |
00:21:52 |
And the vagina? When the, uh, little boy's in |
00:21:58 |
How long was this paper? |
00:22:01 |
not counting the footnotes |
00:22:06 |
But... |
00:22:08 |
I don't suppose you girls have a car? |
00:22:35 |
Ahh. |
00:22:37 |
Oh. Is this sandwich for me? |
00:22:41 |
These slippers are just wonderful. |
00:22:45 |
They were a Christmas gift |
00:22:48 |
Ah. May I? |
00:22:54 |
I'll get these clothes right back to you. I |
00:22:59 |
Look at that. |
00:23:01 |
Phil was almost exactly your size. |
00:23:07 |
Oh. |
00:23:12 |
You know, |
00:23:15 |
I've been looking for two suitable |
00:23:19 |
Something I'm thinking about for my book. |
00:23:22 |
At first I would want to draw |
00:23:26 |
That way, when I draw |
00:23:29 |
uh, the presence of the other one is... |
00:23:33 |
How long would it take, and... |
00:23:35 |
Uh... which one of us would you |
00:23:39 |
I should do Glorie first. |
00:23:43 |
First, uh... Well, first, the two |
00:23:47 |
then Glorie alone, and then when |
00:23:53 |
Mr. Cole, |
00:23:56 |
So which are you, |
00:24:00 |
Oh, Glorie, I'm... |
00:24:03 |
I'm neither, really. I'm... |
00:24:06 |
and I like to draw. |
00:24:09 |
What sort of drawings |
00:24:11 |
Don't... No, no, no.! Don't... Don't stop. |
00:24:14 |
My goodness. |
00:24:30 |
Uh, yeah. Why don't you, uh, |
00:24:36 |
I'll be right there. |
00:25:56 |
Would you like, uh, some |
00:26:01 |
For the whole rest of your life, whenever you |
00:26:06 |
Your hand will grow bigger, and your finger will grow |
00:26:11 |
And it will always show up in your |
00:26:16 |
I'll show you. |
00:26:41 |
- Those are my fingerprints. |
00:26:45 |
- So you were at the doctor's office |
00:26:48 |
And we went to the beach. |
00:26:52 |
And Eddie showed me my fingerprint. |
00:26:55 |
- I see the photograph was ready finally. |
00:26:58 |
Look at all this sand in your hair, Ruth. |
00:27:02 |
Well, I was waiting quite a while |
00:27:09 |
Where's Marion going? I'll give |
00:27:12 |
- Answer me. |
00:27:14 |
What's this? It's the only good |
00:27:22 |
"60 times"? |
00:27:30 |
Okay. Let's run. |
00:27:36 |
Did you saw that? |
00:27:38 |
Where are all the other pictures? Uh, |
00:27:44 |
Look at you. You've got sand in your toes and in |
00:27:50 |
Well, I guess it's a good time |
00:27:55 |
But Mommy didn't move those things. |
00:27:59 |
They're picture hooks. |
00:28:03 |
- Mommy moved all the pictures but not the picture hooks. |
00:28:08 |
I'll take a quick shower. |
00:28:13 |
Why would Mommy do that? |
00:28:17 |
I don't know, sweetie. |
00:28:25 |
Hi. This is Ted. |
00:28:29 |
Yeah, my wife's left me. |
00:28:32 |
No, no. I'm okay. |
00:28:38 |
Yeah. All right. Yeah. |
00:28:41 |
I'll see you then. Bye. |
00:28:49 |
Aah! |
00:28:51 |
I don't know. |
00:28:56 |
Jesus! |
00:28:59 |
Christ! |
00:29:01 |
I hit you with an open hand... |
00:29:04 |
You clench your fist, you |
00:29:07 |
Jesus Christ.! I'm sorry. Marion |
00:29:10 |
"Marion said'"? |
00:29:13 |
to get custody of Ruth, |
00:29:16 |
She doesn't expect to get custody of Ruth. |
00:29:20 |
- She told you that? |
00:29:28 |
What kind of mother doesn't even try |
00:29:34 |
I don't know. |
00:29:39 |
God. |
00:29:43 |
Okay. Okay. |
00:29:47 |
Christ. |
00:29:50 |
Why... Why did she have to take all |
00:29:53 |
She could have taken the negatives and had |
00:29:58 |
The hell she did. |
00:30:06 |
She can't have the photographs |
00:30:11 |
They were my sons too. I should have half the |
00:30:16 |
Ruth should have some of the photographs. |
00:30:21 |
Oh. Well, obviously, |
00:30:25 |
I doubt it. |
00:30:27 |
That's the only place she could go. I even know where in |
00:30:33 |
You don't have an imagination, Eddie. |
00:30:37 |
Christ. Aren't you planning on |
00:30:41 |
That Marion's question, |
00:30:44 |
- It's mine. |
00:30:49 |
- She didn't tell me to get the photograph. That was my idea. |
00:30:54 |
- I was thinking of Ruth. |
00:31:00 |
Thank you. |
00:31:04 |
No. |
00:31:09 |
What day is tomorrow, Saturday? Yeah. |
00:31:11 |
I want you out of here by tomorrow. Sunday at the |
00:31:17 |
Alice can take you. |
00:31:21 |
What about this one? |
00:31:25 |
I'm sorry, Ruth. I don't |
00:31:28 |
This is the one with Thomas in the tall hat. |
00:31:33 |
Timothy can't reach Thomas's hat, 'cause Thomas is |
00:31:39 |
Was the fight in the picture? No. The |
00:31:43 |
Okay. We're gonna go watch a |
00:31:47 |
We're gonna go pick a |
00:31:49 |
Ruthie, stop it! |
00:31:52 |
Stop it! |
00:31:54 |
Oh, Alice. |
00:32:01 |
What? What have you |
00:32:03 |
I didn't do anything. She was |
00:32:06 |
I've been asking her what's wrong, |
00:32:14 |
Where's Ruthie? |
00:32:17 |
Uh, she's asleep. |
00:32:25 |
I'm sorry, Alice, for |
00:32:30 |
Fuck you, Ted. I appreciate |
00:32:36 |
I've spent years trying to get over |
00:32:41 |
And I've done |
00:32:44 |
No. |
00:32:47 |
No. I just can't anymore. |
00:32:52 |
And you should have |
00:32:55 |
It's... It's too late for me to quit, Alice. |
00:32:58 |
I never knew you were such |
00:33:01 |
Alice has been superior to me |
00:33:05 |
I am morally superior to you, Eddie. |
00:33:09 |
"Morally superior. " |
00:33:13 |
Don't you ever feel morally |
00:33:17 |
Yeah. You see? Everyone feels |
00:33:22 |
Fuck you guys. |
00:33:24 |
There goes my ride |
00:33:27 |
Oh, you're a smart boy, Eddie. |
00:33:36 |
You want a drink? |
00:33:40 |
No, thanks. |
00:33:42 |
Oh, for Chrissake. |
00:33:49 |
Jesus. Look at this yard. |
00:33:55 |
Cannot believe she doesn't want |
00:34:00 |
What kind of mother |
00:34:03 |
I don't know her well enough |
00:34:06 |
Let me tell you something, Eddie. |
00:34:08 |
I don't know her well enough |
00:34:12 |
Yeah, well, don't forget, |
00:34:16 |
Guess she knew you pretty well. |
00:34:20 |
Well enough to judge me, |
00:34:26 |
But then, she's leaving you too, |
00:34:34 |
You don't expect her to call you up |
00:34:40 |
No. I don't expect to hear from her. |
00:34:44 |
Hmm. I have drawings of her. |
00:34:49 |
I drew her long ago, |
00:34:54 |
She was so... so incredible. |
00:35:01 |
You should have known her then. |
00:35:05 |
Oh, Marion. |
00:35:09 |
She hated to pose for me. |
00:35:15 |
These are the only drawings I kept. |
00:35:21 |
I was never good enough |
00:35:24 |
I didn't know how to. |
00:35:33 |
You want one? |
00:35:36 |
No. Ruth should have them. |
00:35:38 |
Mmm. |
00:35:41 |
You're full |
00:35:46 |
Wrong cubes. |
00:36:04 |
Marion? |
00:36:06 |
Jesus, aren't you the optimist? |
00:36:12 |
Forget the light, Eddie. |
00:36:16 |
This story's better in the dark. |
00:36:23 |
What story? You told me you |
00:36:27 |
but Marion can't handle this story. |
00:36:30 |
Turns her to stone just thinking about it. |
00:36:33 |
Remember, you turned her to stone |
00:36:38 |
I remember. |
00:36:41 |
Go on. |
00:36:47 |
Well, here's the deal. |
00:36:52 |
Thomas had his driver's license, |
00:36:59 |
Tommy was 17 and... |
00:37:03 |
Timmy was 15. He had only started |
00:37:10 |
It was Ted's opinion that Timmy, |
00:37:14 |
was already a more attentive student |
00:37:21 |
Timmy studied the driving manual diligently. |
00:37:27 |
He was a more patient driver than Thomas. |
00:37:30 |
Not that Tommy was a bad driver. |
00:37:36 |
He was alert, confident. |
00:37:41 |
He had excellent reflexes. |
00:37:47 |
And he was cynical enough to assume... |
00:37:54 |
that every other driver is a bad driver. |
00:37:58 |
Who taught to you drive, Eddie? |
00:38:01 |
Um, my dad. |
00:38:04 |
Well, good for him. |
00:38:06 |
Tell him for me, |
00:38:12 |
Okay. |
00:38:29 |
Keep... Keep going. |
00:38:33 |
We were out west, actually, |
00:38:39 |
It was snowing... |
00:38:45 |
At 17 and 15, respectively, |
00:38:49 |
Thomas and Timothy |
00:38:54 |
That day, in fact, Ted and Marion |
00:38:59 |
where they were waiting |
00:39:02 |
for Thomas and Timothy |
00:39:06 |
and the last run after that. |
00:39:10 |
I get the picture. |
00:39:15 |
Well, that, uh... |
00:39:19 |
that was one aspect |
00:39:22 |
in the... area of the ongoing argument |
00:39:27 |
I mean, Marion said that Ted was drunk, |
00:39:33 |
Marion, while not drunk, certainly had had |
00:39:37 |
Besides, Tommy had not been drinking. |
00:39:42 |
There was no disagreement |
00:39:45 |
And, brothers being brothers, |
00:39:48 |
Timmy sat beside him in the passenger seat. |
00:39:53 |
And as for the parents, |
00:39:55 |
Ted and Marion... sat in the backseat. |
00:40:03 |
Ted and Marion |
00:40:06 |
about the best route |
00:40:10 |
There was gonna have to be a left turn |
00:40:14 |
So, Tommy moves into the center lane. |
00:40:18 |
It's, um, a turning lane. |
00:40:21 |
He puts on his blinker, |
00:40:24 |
not knowing that both lights |
00:40:29 |
that his father failed to clear off |
00:40:33 |
failed to clear off the rear window. |
00:40:38 |
Any cars coming up from behind Tommy's car |
00:40:44 |
the brake lights or the tail lights. |
00:40:46 |
The car is not visible, |
00:40:51 |
or it's visible only at the last second to any... |
00:40:55 |
anyone approaching from behind. |
00:41:04 |
And then, the interior of the car |
00:41:09 |
- It's the headlights from the car |
00:41:24 |
The snowplow cut the car |
00:41:36 |
Tommy was killed by the steering column. |
00:41:43 |
And Ted... |
00:41:46 |
was trapped in the backseat |
00:41:53 |
He... |
00:41:55 |
- He couldn't see Tommy, but he knew |
00:42:02 |
She couldn't see Timmy. |
00:42:05 |
Ted, however, could see |
00:42:10 |
Ted could also see that the snowplow, |
00:42:15 |
also cut Timmy's left leg off |
00:42:26 |
Timothy Cole bled to death |
00:42:35 |
Marion knew that Tommy was dead, |
00:42:38 |
but only that Timmy |
00:42:41 |
hopefully... to the hospital. |
00:42:46 |
And then Marion, |
00:42:49 |
she sees Timmy's shoe in the wreckage. |
00:42:53 |
"Oh, look. Timmy's shoe. |
00:43:00 |
And she walks over to it, |
00:43:12 |
Ted... Ted wanted to stop her. |
00:43:22 |
Talk about turned to stone. |
00:43:30 |
I couldn't move. |
00:43:51 |
And that was when Ted |
00:43:54 |
that her younger son's shoe |
00:44:02 |
to a leg. |
00:44:07 |
And that was when Marion realized |
00:44:18 |
And that... |
00:44:21 |
that is the end of the story. |
00:44:56 |
I hired you, Eddie, |
00:45:01 |
I gave her you. |
00:45:12 |
See you in the morning, Eddie. |
00:45:51 |
It's Eduardo. |
00:45:56 |
I don't know. Maybe Mrs. |
00:45:59 |
No, no. |
00:46:03 |
You don't see her out there anywhere, do |
00:46:08 |
Maybe she's lying |
00:46:12 |
- I'm being serious, for Chrissake. |
00:46:19 |
Why... Why don't you go out there |
00:46:25 |
Not me. |
00:46:28 |
Oh, for Chrissake. |
00:46:33 |
Wha... |
00:46:35 |
At least go with me then. |
00:46:39 |
Mrs. Vaughn fired me. |
00:46:41 |
Let me make sure I understand you. |
00:46:44 |
You think you saved my life, |
00:46:47 |
Yes, I did save your life, and it |
00:46:51 |
I play squash regularly, |
00:46:55 |
but I do... I do appreciate |
00:46:57 |
How much money are we talking about exactly? |
00:47:04 |
I was hoping you might |
00:47:07 |
Ah. |
00:47:12 |
Let me... Let me show you |
00:47:16 |
I want, uh, more lawn, |
00:47:19 |
Just, uh, pretty big. You |
00:47:22 |
No, no. |
00:47:27 |
Wow. That's a lotta lawn. |
00:47:31 |
And a lot of fertilizers. |
00:47:35 |
Well, whatever you say. I'm putting |
00:47:39 |
What about your wife? |
00:47:42 |
What about her? Oh, uh, does |
00:47:48 |
Yeah, sure. |
00:47:51 |
She cooks, she look |
00:47:56 |
Maybe, uh... |
00:47:59 |
Or maybe she'd like |
00:48:03 |
look after my daughter, Ruth. |
00:48:06 |
Sure. I'll ask her. |
00:48:09 |
Good. Good. Excellent. |
00:48:13 |
Gotta do something about |
00:48:17 |
Oh. |
00:48:19 |
You can begin by taking my former assistant |
00:48:26 |
Uh, immediately. Before |
00:48:47 |
Well, you're a fairly good driver, Eddie. |
00:48:52 |
About Marion, |
00:48:57 |
Even before the accident... |
00:49:00 |
even if there had never been |
00:49:04 |
she still would be difficult. |
00:49:08 |
I don't believe it. |
00:49:15 |
About the shoe, |
00:49:19 |
an "AirJordan," I think he called it. |
00:49:27 |
Specific details, Eddie. |
00:49:31 |
Specific details. |
