00:03:48Uh-huh.
00:03:52Does your son have a driver's license?
00:03:58You don't have to yell, Betty.
00:04:00Yeah?
00:04:01Well, let me consider it, will you?
00:04:05Yeah.
00:04:07All right, I'll call you back.
00:04:09Bye.
00:04:24Still gets cold in the evening, huh?
00:04:27Thanks.
00:04:30Jesus, look at this yard.
00:04:37Clear out some of these scraggly-looking flowerbeds.
00:04:43I want to put in a swimming pool.
00:04:46Why?
00:04:48Oh, for Ruth when she gets older.
00:04:52Something like the one we had in Providence.
00:04:54They loved it.
00:04:56And the lawn ought to be more like an athletic field.
00:05:02No.
00:05:04Look at this picture.
00:05:07Who is he?
00:05:09That's Menteo Harrison,
00:05:12the boy's English teacher from Exeter.
00:05:14He wants a summer job.
00:05:16He wants to be a writer.
00:05:18What would he do for you?
00:05:20Well, it's mainly for the experience, I suppose.
00:05:23I mean, if he's thinking about becoming a writer,
00:05:25he should see how one works, see what it takes.
00:05:30What would he actually do for you?
00:05:34Well...
00:05:42I've been thinking.
00:05:46I want to try separating for the summer.
00:05:54Just temporarily.
00:06:00All right.
00:06:04So you began your career writing novels.
00:06:30Yes, but they were terrible novels.
00:06:34Unfortunately, I had to write three of them
00:06:36before I realized I am not a writer of adult fiction.
00:06:39I am simply a entertainer of children,
00:06:42and I like to draw.
00:06:44Edward, don't be nervous because he's famous.
00:06:47He's a Nixonian.
00:06:49His sons were charming boys,
00:06:52but mediocre students.
00:06:55They were both in my class.
00:06:58Well, I think I can imagine their fears
00:07:01and express them.
00:07:03In my stories, you can see what's coming,
00:07:06but you don't see everything that's coming.
00:07:08Know his work habits.
00:07:11See if there's a method to his madness.
00:07:14And above all, throw yourself in headlong
00:07:18and just do whatever it is he wants you to do.
00:07:21There is no better opening to any story
00:07:23than the opening of The Mount Scrawling Between the Walls.
00:07:25I mean the first lines.
00:07:27I woke up, but Tim did not.
00:07:30Daddy, I had a dream.
00:07:33I heard a sound.
00:07:36What sort of sound, Ruth?
00:07:39It's in the house, but it's trying to be quiet.
00:07:48Hmm.
00:07:51Well, let's go look for it then.
00:07:54The sound is trying to be quiet?
00:07:57What did it sound like?
00:07:59It was the sound of someone trying not to make a sound.
00:08:15Your penis looks funny.
00:08:19My penis is funny.
00:08:22Come out, Sam.
00:08:24Come out, Sam.
00:08:27I'll tell you a story about a different sound.
00:08:31One night when Thomas was just your age
00:08:34and Timothy was still in diapers,
00:08:37Tommy heard a sound.
00:08:40Did they both wake up?
00:08:42Oh, Tom woke up, but Tim did not.
00:08:47And Tom woke up his father
00:08:51and asked him, did you hear that sound?
00:08:56There's the sound again.
00:08:58Tom whispered to his father,
00:09:00it's a monster!
00:09:02He cried.
00:09:04It's just a mouse crawling between the walls,
00:09:08his father said,
00:09:10and bumped the wall hard with his hand
00:09:14and the mouse scurried away.
00:09:20It's just a mouse, that's all Tom said
00:09:25and he quickly fell asleep.
00:09:28But Tim, he stayed awake all night long
00:09:34and every time that thing crawling between the walls
00:09:37came crawling back, he'd hit the wall
00:09:41and he'd listen to the monster scurry away,
00:09:46dragging his thick, wet fur
00:09:49and no arms and no legs with it.
00:09:54And that is the end of the story.
00:10:00Where's Mommy?
00:10:04Mommy, it's her turn at the other house, remember?
00:10:07It's my turn tomorrow night,
00:10:09but she'll be here in the morning, okay?
00:10:12Okay.
00:10:13Are there any mice in this house?
00:10:18Everyone has mice.
00:10:21Mice are everywhere.
00:10:25See you in the morning, Ruthie.
00:10:43Okay.
00:11:13Eddie?
00:11:39Eddie?
00:11:42Mrs. Cole?
00:11:44Marion.
00:11:49Come.
00:11:52You can drive, can't you?
00:11:54Oh, yeah. Yes, I can.
00:11:56I know boys your age.
00:11:58They love to drive every chance they get.
00:12:00Yes, ma'am.
00:12:01But I don't know how to drive a stick.
00:12:04It's an automatic.
00:12:06Okay.
00:12:07Yes, ma'am.
00:12:10I'm sorry about before.
00:12:12I was expecting Mr. Cole.
00:12:15Ted lost his license three months ago.
00:12:18We're not at Exeter anymore.
00:12:20You can call us for our first names.
00:12:23Okay.
00:12:40Come on.
00:13:09Isn't she coming in?
00:13:11Not tonight.
00:13:32Are you hurt? Are you hurt much?
00:13:34I'm all right. I'm all right.
00:13:35Don't worry about it.
00:13:36Eddie!
00:13:37It is an honor to meet you, sir.
00:13:39I want to thank you in advance for this experience.
00:13:41Ah, well, I hope you find it worthwhile.
00:13:43Ed, this is Dr. Loomis.
00:13:44Hi.
00:13:45Eddie's my new assistant.
00:13:46Hi.
00:13:47Yeah, Exeter 05.
00:13:49I was class of 61.
00:13:50Good stuff.
00:13:51So Tuesday, yeah?
00:13:52Tuesday, yeah.
00:13:53Right. See you then.
00:13:54Nice to meet you, Eddie.
00:13:55Cal, I read all your novels and all your children's books.
00:13:593.30?
00:14:00Yeah, 3.30.
00:14:01Got it.
00:14:04I read all your novels and all your children's books,
00:14:07and my favorite is The Door in the Floor.
00:14:09Ah, well, you're probably one of the few people on Earth
00:14:12who have read all my novels.
00:14:14So, uh, what makes you think you want to be a writer, Eddie?
00:14:18Oh, well, I wrote something, and I brought it with me.
00:14:21I'd be extremely honored if you might read it
00:14:23whenever you aren't busy, of course.
00:14:25Well, writing is rigorous work.
00:14:27I keep myself incredibly busy.
00:14:30Yeah.
00:14:31You see, my books contain 500 words or less,
00:14:34so every word must be examined and reexamined thoroughly.
00:14:38Okay.
00:14:39We're gonna be spending the whole summer
00:14:41looking for a limogeuse, just what that says.
00:14:44Oh.
00:14:45The right word.
00:14:46Okay, well, I'm prepared to throw myself in headlong
00:14:48and do whatever you need me to do.
00:14:50Yeah, because I'm sure there'll be
00:14:52many different tasks that will come up.
00:14:54Oh, all right.
00:14:55For example, I need squid.
00:14:57I'm, uh, using squid ink for my new book
00:15:00right now.
00:15:02There's a, uh, a woman in Montauk.
00:15:05She's a fishmonger.
00:15:07She collects the squid ink for me.
00:15:09Should I go today?
00:15:10Uh, you can go tomorrow.
00:15:12If you see your husband over there,
00:15:14don't mention my name.
00:15:15Also, I have to tell you,
00:15:17because it's a little complicated,
00:15:20you've arrived here during what is a sad time
00:15:23in a long, happy marriage.
00:15:25Uh, Marion and I, we're separating.
00:15:29Temporarily on a trial basis.
00:15:32And I've, uh, I've rented a small apartment in town,
00:15:35and every other night,
00:15:36one of us will be spending the night there.
00:15:38Uh, during the day,
00:15:39you'll work there at the apartment
00:15:41while I'm working here.
00:15:42Uh, but you'll sleep here.
00:15:46I know it seems unnecessarily complicated,
00:15:49but it's hard to know what's best for my daughter.
00:15:53Anyway, your, uh, your bedroom is in the main house.
00:15:57The second door on the left.
00:15:59Uh, you want to take your stuff up there?
00:16:01Relax?
00:16:02You want to take a shower?
00:16:04Unpack.
00:16:05Okay, well, make yourself comfortable, Eddie.
00:16:10Thank you, sir.
00:16:13And I'm sorry about your marriage.
00:16:16Me too, Eddie.
00:16:18Anyway,
00:16:22I'm sure you're gonna do great here.
00:16:25It's gonna be a good summer for you.
00:16:27I'm glad to have you.
00:16:30♪♪♪
00:16:39♪♪♪
00:16:50-♪♪♪
00:16:59-♪♪♪
00:17:09-♪♪♪
00:17:19Did you see the shrine?
00:17:21Mm-hmm.
00:17:23It's kind of creepy, huh?
00:17:25It's sad.
00:17:27You go to Exeter, right?
00:17:29Yeah, I'm an upper.
00:17:30An upper?
00:17:31Yeah, like an upper classman, like, kind of like a junior.
00:17:34Your father's a teacher there, right?
00:17:36So you get to go for free.
00:17:38Yeah.
00:17:39He was their teacher, right?
00:17:41So that's why you're here?
00:17:43I guess.
00:17:46Did you know them before they died?
00:17:48Uh, no, but I heard a lot about them.
00:17:50When I was in ninth grade, I used to date a senior from Exeter.
00:17:54Really?
00:17:56Yeah.
00:17:57He was older than you, of course.
00:17:59His name was, like, Chicky or Chucky or something.
00:18:03It was probably a nickname.
00:18:09No, it's quite common to have a nickname there.
00:18:17Look at this.
00:18:39Oh, great, you got it.
00:18:41Just in time.
00:18:42Yes, sir.
00:18:43Um, here, wait just a second.
00:18:48Here, I want you to, uh, put it in here and then, uh, freeze it.
00:18:55What should I do next?
00:18:57I'm sketching a model.
00:18:58Why don't you go to the beach, take a swim?
00:19:00I could straighten up the workroom or something else.
00:19:03No, no, I can't do that.
00:19:05I could straighten up the workroom or something else.
00:19:08No, no, go ahead.
00:19:10Anything, really, I just want to help.
00:19:12No, it's all right.
00:19:14Contemplating the waves will be a hell of a lot more useful to you as a young writer than watching me draw.
00:19:22There'll be, uh, plenty more rigorous work to do at some point in the near future.
00:19:32Don't spill that stuff.
00:19:51Take your dress off, please.
00:20:01And your bra.
00:20:31I love you.
00:21:02Morning, Eddie.
00:21:04Morning, ma'am.
00:21:31Morning, Eddie.

00:23:31Hi. Hi. Did you just see that movie? Yes. Me too. Is that your dinner? Sort of, yeah. I'm
00:23:48kind of tired of burgers. I've had one every night since I got here. Ted doesn't get you
00:23:52anything? Not really. I mean, he would. It's just I don't think Ruth likes to eat with
00:23:58I don't think your parents would like it if they thought we weren't taking care of you.
00:24:02They wouldn't mind, really, I don't think. Eddie, would you like to go to dinner one
00:24:11night? I'll make sure you get something decent. Okay. Okay? Yeah. Good. Thanks. Good night.
00:24:23See you. Bye.
00:24:53Eddie? Just one second. Ruth wanted to be sure that one of the photographs was still here. She
00:25:15gets anxious if she can't see them or if they get moved. Which one was this, sweetie? There
00:25:23it is. Oh. It's just a little broken, but it won't die, right? Right. Not yet. No. Ruthie
00:25:30had it green. Where are the feet? Hmm? What are you talking about? Where are the feet?
00:25:39Sorry, Eddie. We've gotten in the habit of showing Ruth these pictures, and if we don't,
00:25:42she gets very worked up. That's okay. You can see them anytime. Ah, see? See you in the morning,
00:25:48baby. What did he do?
00:26:18So,
00:26:28so,
00:26:47that's Mrs. Vaughn. Came over to discuss some sketches, some questions about them.
00:26:54Uh, I guess she's an early rider. Do you want me to drive you home now, or? Uh, no. I'm gonna,
00:27:01I'm gonna walk. I left the revisions on my desk, hmm? Um, after I finish, what should I do next?
00:27:05I'll let you know.
00:27:23So,
00:27:53so,
00:28:24so,
00:28:31Eddie, I should have knocked.
00:28:37It's my fault. I'm not angry. I'm just, I'm just embarrassed.
00:28:44Eddie,
00:29:01come here, please.
00:29:04It's funny. Let's just call it funny, and leave it at that. Eddie, look at me. Sit.
00:29:23Sit.
00:29:37I know boy's your age. I know it's what boys your age do, isn't it? Look, Eddie, I am flattered.
00:29:48It felt good to know that someone was at least thinking about me. Oh, not to assume that you
00:29:54were thinking about me, um, maybe about my clothes, and I know you probably have so many
00:30:00girls you think about. I didn't. I think about what you were wearing when I first met you.
00:30:07It was a pink sweater, buttons up the front.
00:30:10That sweater, it's so old.
00:30:14Because of how it must feel against your skin.
00:30:22Oh.
00:30:30Would you do me a favor?
00:30:34Take this down with you.
00:30:36Take this down with you, please. All right.
00:30:43Thank you.
00:30:44I'll probably be about an hour. I want you to go over the revisions.
00:31:05Hey, do you want your supplies? Oh, yeah.
00:31:11Hey, do you want your supplies? Oh, yeah.
00:31:41Hi. You look nice. The tie or the jacket, you really don't need both.
00:32:11How's the work going for you? I just retyped the sound like someone trying not to make a sound
00:32:16every morning. Sometimes he chooses a comma from a semicolon, and then next morning he changes it
00:32:23back. He needs a computer. Ted needs a driver. That's why he hired you, because he needs a driver.
00:32:35I don't get to drive much at home, so...
00:32:47Eddie, you're so serious. Boys your age shouldn't be so serious.
00:32:53I know a joke, but it's not very good. Tell me.
00:32:58So, there's this battleship out in the ocean, and the captain of it, Captain Stern, this captain
00:33:04learns that the mother of one of his sailors just died, and the sailor's name is Midshipman Abernathy.
00:33:11So, the captain thinks and thinks and tries to come up with the best way to tell Abernathy that
00:33:16his mother died, and finally after staying up all night, he comes up with a nice way of telling him.
00:33:23So, the next morning he calls the crew up on deck and says,
00:33:27gentlemen, all of you whose mothers are still living, step forward. Not so fast, Abernathy.
00:33:39I like that joke, Eddie. It's a dumb joke. I do, I do.
00:33:52Why don't you ask Alice out on a date?
00:33:57She's not my type.
00:34:00Well, she's a good nanny anyway.
00:34:16I think it was wrong of us to have had Ruth.
00:34:22When we first moved here, the idea was a new place, a new child, a new life, I suppose.
00:34:36Ted's a good father,
00:34:39but he really doesn't know how to do all the stuff you have to do, and I can't. I can't with her.
00:34:52I pick that one because they're in silhouette, and you can almost imagine what they would look like now.
00:35:10Timothy looks guilty. Thomas looks like a wild animal.
00:35:22This one's funny. Tommy looks so scared.
00:35:52So,
00:36:19I hope I'm not disturbing you.
00:36:21Oh, no, not at all.
00:36:25You can tell in this picture, Timothy's more introspective, like you.
00:36:41And you know where this is.
00:36:44What does it say?
00:36:46Come hither, boys, and become men.
00:36:55Not pink with lilac.
00:36:59Oh, I wasn't thinking about the colors.
00:37:06I don't know if they had sex. Thomas, maybe. He was so popular. But Timothy, he was so shy.
00:37:17That's all boys want, isn't it? Yes, before I die.
00:37:37Have you had sex, Eddie?
00:37:42No.
00:37:53Well, it's too hot in here, so I hope you'll forgive me if I don't wear the sweater.
00:38:12So,
00:38:43so,
00:38:53you still really haven't had sex, have you, Eddie? Not really.
00:39:01No, not really.
00:39:02But I feel, I feel complete.
00:39:19Come here.
00:39:33So,
00:39:48there was a little boy who didn't know if he wanted to be born. His mommy didn't know if she
00:39:54wanted him to be born, either. They lived in a cabin in the woods on an island in a lake,
00:40:01and there was no one else around. And in the cabin, there was a door in the floor.
00:40:10The little boy was afraid of what was under the door in the floor, and the mommy was afraid, too.
00:40:17Once, long ago, other children had come to visit the cabin for Christmas,
00:40:23but the children had opened the door in the floor and had disappeared down the hole.
00:40:28The mommy had tried to look for the children, but when she opened the door in the floor,
00:40:34she heard such an awful sound that her hair turned completely white, like the hair of a ghost.
00:40:43And the mommy had also seen some things, things so horrible you can't imagine them.
00:40:52And so, the mommy wondered if she wanted to have a little boy, especially because of everything
00:41:01that might be under the door in the floor. And then she thought, why not? I'll just tell him
00:41:10not to open the door in the floor. Yet, the little boy still didn't know if he wanted to be born
00:41:19into a world where there was a door in the floor.
00:41:23But there were some beautiful things in the woods, on the island, and in the lake.
00:41:29Why not take a chance, he thought. And so, the little boy was born, and he was happy.
00:41:39And his mommy was happy again, too. Although she told the boy, at least once every day,
00:41:49don't ever, not ever, never, never, never open the door in the floor.
00:41:58But, of course, he was only a little boy.
00:42:02If you were that little boy, wouldn't you want to open that door in the floor?
00:42:17Every publisher thinks the drawings are too rudimentary, and there are too few of them,
00:42:22but I'm just an entertainer of children, and I like to draw.
00:42:30Blues are a requisite fundamental exercise for anyone who draws, like landscapes.
00:42:36Do you do landscapes, too?
00:42:37No, Long Island's too flat.
00:42:40You don't prefer to use professional models?
00:42:43If nakedness, I mean the feeling of nakedness, is a problem,
00:42:47prefer to use professional models?
00:42:49If nakedness, I mean the feeling of nakedness, is what a nude must convey,
00:42:53well, there is no nakedness that compares to what it feels like to be naked in front
00:42:57of someone for the first time. Right, Eddie?
00:43:02Yes, yeah, no.
00:43:11I'm grateful to you, Eddie.
00:43:13Oh, it's my pleasure. This is very interesting.
00:43:16No, I mean, I'm grateful to you for being such a good friend to Marion.
00:43:24She's been so unhappy.
00:43:28It's good to see her smiling again.
00:44:16Thank you.
00:44:20Thank you.
00:44:44Hello, Nicole residence.
00:44:45No, he's not here yet. Should I go look for him?
00:44:56I'm steady.
00:45:11Excuse me, Mr. Cole.
00:45:12Um, Patrick called from Bobby Van's restaurant.
00:45:20He said you might want to ride home.
00:45:21I haven't been riding.
00:45:27Going home, Eddie.
00:45:31Sorry, Mr. Cole.
00:45:33Good night.
00:45:42Good night.
00:46:12So,
00:46:42ready, Eddie?
00:46:44Yep.
00:46:48I converted this barn into a squash court when I first bought the place.
00:46:53Not quite regulation in its dimension.
00:46:56Plus, there's a dead spot on the floor by the back wall.
00:47:01So basically, I'm considered even by the best players on the island to be unbeatable
00:47:05in my own court.
00:47:07You play much?
00:47:09Um, this is my third time.
00:47:11Ah, well, don't expect mercy from me.
00:47:15I'm gonna grind you into a fine powder.
00:47:33With those red lines intersect, that's called a tee.
00:47:37Whoever controls the tee controls the game.
00:47:40Need to win control of the tee if you hope to win the game.
00:47:45Seven-a-lot.
00:48:03You all right?
00:48:04Yeah, I'm fine.
00:48:05That was a good shot, though.
00:48:08Still made it to the wall.
00:48:09It's not a letter.
00:48:10You're supposed to just take a letter and not hit the guy.
00:48:12Well, technically, you're right, but I'll take the point.
00:48:16Can't just take the tee.
00:48:17You gotta earn it.
00:48:27Nine-zero, nine-one, nine-zero.
00:48:32You look like a boy that'll sleep well tonight.
00:48:36Maybe you need to catch up on your sleep anyway.
00:49:09Stop screaming, honey.
00:49:11It's okay.
00:49:12It's just Eddie and me.
00:49:14Go back to bed, okay?
00:49:17Okay?
00:49:19Okay.
00:49:24You get the stamps?
00:49:26Two rolls.
00:49:31They still have the ones with the nocturnal animals?
00:49:33Mm-hmm.
00:49:38Anyway, I presume it was Marion's mistake,
00:49:43but surely it was a mistake for the two of you to let Ruth see you together.
00:49:52I'm not threatening you, Eddie, but I must tell you
00:49:55that you may be called upon to testify.
00:49:59Testify?
00:50:00In the event of a custody dispute
00:50:02regarding which one of us is a more fit parent,
00:50:08I would never have let a child see me with another woman,
00:50:11whereas Marion has really made no effort whatsoever
00:50:15to protect Ruth from seeing what she saw.
00:50:19And if you are asked to testify to what happened,
00:50:23I trust that you won't lie, not in a court of law.
00:50:31The sound of it, it was a rear entry position.
00:50:37Not that I have a personal problem with that or any other position,
00:50:42but for a child,
00:50:45I imagine doing it dogishly must seem especially animalistic.
00:51:00I'll only be about 25 minutes today.
00:51:12Just a quick sketch.
00:51:22I've never been unfaithful to Dad.
00:51:30Why didn't you leave him?
00:51:36Dad understands me.
00:51:42Dad's the only one that really knows what happened to me.
00:51:51You don't need some time.
00:52:01Oh, what are you doing?
00:52:04Look here, ready?
00:52:08He starts with conventional portraits, a mother, a child,
00:52:14then the mother, and the mother nude.
00:52:19Then the nudes go through phases like innocence, modesty, degradation.
00:52:26I'm ashamed.
00:52:28Mrs. Vaughn?
00:52:31Mrs. Vaughn is experiencing the degrading phase right now.
00:52:42Move your head to the right.
00:52:47To the, Evelyn, more to the right.
00:52:51Evelyn.
00:52:52Evelyn.
00:53:22Evelyn.
00:53:34Evelyn.
00:53:51I want to know more about you.
00:53:55You know too much already.
00:54:04Tell me about the accident.
00:54:07I mean, do you know how it happened, or was it anybody's fault?
00:54:23Marian?
00:54:34Mommy?
00:54:48Mommy?
00:55:03Mommy?
00:55:33It was early in the morning, and mommy was just waking up.
00:55:38Thomas and Timothy called under the covers, and daddy took the picture and framed it.
00:55:43But what did you do to the feet?
00:55:47Well, maybe it never happened, you know, maybe it was just a dream.
00:55:52No.
00:55:54I guess it's just a mystery.
00:55:56No, it's paper.
00:55:59Don't you want to go back to bed?
00:56:01Yes.
00:56:02Bring the picture.
00:56:03It's my picture, it's not yours.
00:56:06That's true.
00:56:19Mommy?
00:56:41She cut her finger badly.
00:56:49Shh, it's okay.
00:56:51Am I going to die?
00:56:53No, you're not going to die.
00:56:57You're not going to die.
00:57:02You don't understand.
00:57:03I put the picture in her room.
00:57:04It's my fault.
00:57:06That's not the point.
00:57:07The point is you shouldn't have gone into a room in the first place.
00:57:10It's her mother's job.
00:57:12I told you, Marian was asleep.
00:57:14I doubt it.
00:57:14I doubt a sleep would accurately describe Marian's condition.
00:57:17I did it to her.
00:57:19I asked her about the accident.
00:57:22No, it doesn't matter.
00:57:24She's a great mother to the boys, but she's for shits now.
00:57:28It's my fault.
00:57:29No, it's Marian's fault.
00:57:33Lucy, please.
00:57:34Mommy.
00:57:35Come on now, go to sleep now, please.
00:57:37Mommy.
00:57:38Right here, sweetie, come on.
00:57:40Mommy.
00:57:41Mommy.
00:57:42No, please.
00:57:43Mommy.
00:57:44Come on now, honey.
00:57:45Mommy.
00:57:47Come on.
00:57:48Mommy.
00:57:57She had a bad dream.
00:57:58She, her bangs, her banging noise.
00:58:01What kind of banging noise?
00:58:03I don't know.
00:58:05What difference does it make?
00:58:12Come on, honey.
00:58:15It's okay.
00:58:17It's okay.
00:58:18Shh.
00:58:26It's okay.
00:58:28It's okay.
00:58:46It's okay.
00:58:48It's okay, come on.
00:59:16Take me back.
00:59:26That's like you should my name
00:59:28on my back
00:59:30Lick my pussy and my crack
00:59:32My name
00:59:34On my back
00:59:36Lick my pussy and my crack
00:59:38Leave me alone!
00:59:40Leave me alone!
00:59:42Leave me alone!
00:59:44Leave it! God damn it!
00:59:48I love this song.
01:00:14I love this song.
01:00:38I love this song.
01:01:02I love this song.
01:01:28I love this song.
01:01:58I love this song.
01:02:20You want me to do what?
01:02:22I want you to give her these, but not the portfolio.
01:02:28Just the drawings. I want the portfolio back.
01:02:30Isn't she expecting you?
01:02:33I told her I'm not coming, but I wanted her to have the drawings.
01:02:42It might be awkward to ask for the portfolio back.
01:02:48It won't be a problem.
01:02:56I don't really understand. He wants to give them to me. He doesn't want them?
01:03:01He said he wanted you to have them.
01:03:03Oh.
01:03:06But when is he coming?
01:03:08I mean, he's coming Friday, isn't he? I have the whole day for him on Friday.
01:03:11He knows I have the day.
01:03:13Will you stop?
01:03:15Is he coming on Friday?
01:03:17I don't know.
01:03:18Yes, you do know.
01:03:20Did you look at those drawings? Did he show you?
01:03:27My God, I'm locked out.
01:03:30You're going to have to break in.
01:03:32Maybe.
01:03:38You're going to have to carry me over the glass. I have bare feet.
01:03:42How dare you.
01:03:44How dare you detest me.
01:03:46You're not exactly living an unsorted life yourself, are you?
01:03:49Just please let me go home.
01:03:54Why did she think you looked at the drawings?
01:03:57Did you?
01:03:58No.
01:03:59Oh, Christ. Of course you did.
01:04:01No, I didn't. She exposed herself to me.
01:04:04Jesus, she did what?
01:04:06She didn't mean to, but she exposed herself. The wind blew her robe open.
01:04:09Jesus Christ.
01:04:11She locked herself out because of you.
01:04:13She said you liked all the doors to be locked and you didn't like the garden to be around.
01:04:18She told you that?
01:04:19Yes.
01:04:20She said she had the whole day for you Friday.
01:04:23I can't spend the whole day with her Friday.
01:04:26You're going to have to come and pick me up in 45 minutes.
01:04:29Make that a half an hour.
01:04:32On Friday morning, you're going to leave him at Mrs. Bond's.
01:04:36I know. For half an hour.
01:04:39You're never going back.
01:04:42It'll take him all day to make his way back home by himself.
01:04:47Mrs. Bond won't offer him a ride.
01:04:50I don't expect him back before dark.
01:04:53Ted's going to be really pissed off.
01:05:00I read your story.
01:05:03Oh. I thought you forgot.
01:05:06I just didn't have a chance to get to it before.
01:05:09It's not very good, is it?
01:05:11Oh, it's very heartfelt and very personal.
01:05:16It's just a collection of personal anecdotes that don't really add up to much.
01:05:24I'm just trying to see if I can write something that seems true.
01:05:27Oh, it seems true. It just isn't very interesting.
01:05:31It's sort of an emotional outburst, but it isn't really a story.
01:05:38And that guy, Hank, you know, the one who dies at the end?
01:05:43Yeah.
01:05:44You need to prepare a reader for something like that.
01:05:48It just didn't seem like the way things happened.
01:05:51Well, you need to let your audience guess what's going to happen, anticipate what's going to happen.
01:05:59And then you surprise them.
01:06:01But you have to guide them through it, you know what I mean?
01:06:04Yeah.
01:06:05There's a part of writing that involves a certain manipulation.
01:06:12That may seem cold to you, but it is sort of cold.
01:06:16I guess.
01:06:17Everything in fiction is a tool.
01:06:21Pain, betrayal, even death.
01:06:26These are like different colors on a painter's palette.
01:06:33You need to use them.
01:06:40Also, the details.
01:06:43They could be more specific.
01:06:46Specific details, they create whole scenes in the reader's mind.
01:06:53Now, being specific, that's just sloppy, sloppy thinking.
01:06:58Specific details?
01:06:59Yeah.
01:07:01Smells, tastes, details.
01:07:06But I'll tell you, for a first effort, it's not that bad.
01:07:13Thanks.
01:07:14The prose is a little purple, a little pretentious.
01:07:17Thanks anyway for reading it.
01:07:19You're welcome.
01:07:25You ever think about getting a computer?
01:07:29It'd be easier to do your own revisions that way, so you wouldn't need an assistant.
01:07:41Maybe the next book.
01:07:43Yeah.
01:07:58You better wait for me.
01:07:59I'm not going to last a half hour with this woman.
01:08:0220 minutes tops.
01:08:04Maybe 10.
01:08:14Five.
01:08:33If he hits you, hit him back.
01:08:35He won't make a fist.
01:08:37At worst, he'll slap you.
01:08:40You should make a fist and punch him in the nose.
01:08:43If you punch him in the nose, he'll stop.
01:08:49You can call Alice to help you with Ruth.
01:08:51Screw Alice.
01:08:52You better start to like her a little.
01:08:54When Ted kicks you out, you're going to need a ride to the ferry at Orient Point.
01:09:00And who's going to explain this to Ruth?
01:09:02I won't be a bad mother to her.
01:09:05I'd rather be no mother than to be a bad mother to her.
01:09:09That doesn't make any sense.
01:09:16I don't want her to be like me.
01:09:18Remember, honey, don't cry when the doctor takes the stitches out.
01:09:23I promise you, it won't hurt.
01:09:25I'm not going to cry.
01:09:27Don't cry when the doctor takes the stitches out.
01:09:30I promise you, it won't hurt.
01:09:33Can I keep the stitches to show you?
01:09:45You can take her anywhere for lunch.
01:09:47All she ever eats is grilled cheese and french fries.
01:09:51And ketchup.
01:09:53And ketchup.
01:09:55I have money.
01:09:58I have money.
01:10:09I love you.
01:10:11So long, Eddie.
01:10:28Evelyn.
01:10:29Come here, you son of a bitch!
01:10:30Evelyn, wait, wait now!
01:10:31Come here, god damn it!
01:10:32I'll kill you, you fucking fraud!
01:10:34Evelyn, Evelyn, Evelyn.
01:10:36Evelyn!
01:10:58Why the hell would you do that?
01:11:16Evelyn.
01:11:19Evelyn!
01:11:27Evelyn.
01:11:57Evelyn.
01:12:28All right.
01:12:30One more.
01:12:32Did we get the picture?
01:12:34What picture?
01:12:35The feet.
01:12:37Oh, the photograph. No, it's not ready yet.
01:12:39That's not very nice.
01:12:41My stitches are ready.
01:12:43My cut's all fixed up.
01:12:45Yeah, you know what? You're right.
01:12:46Let's go to the frame shop and tell them to give us the picture.
01:12:48Good idea.
01:12:57Ted Cole?
01:12:59Yes, it is. It is Ted Cole.
01:13:01Good morning, Mendelson.
01:13:02It is Ted Cole. It is.
01:13:05Forgive me for bleeding.
01:13:06Don't be silly.
01:13:07There's nothing you need to be forgiven for.
01:13:08Could you, uh...
01:13:10Get Mr. Cole a chair. Can't you see he's bleeding?
01:13:12Look.
01:13:13No, you look.
01:13:14If there's no manager here, there must be someone else.
01:13:16There must be someone else here besides you,
01:13:18and I'm not leaving without that photograph.
01:13:22Did you get mad at her?
01:13:24Yes, I did.
01:13:27To put it simply, I need a ride home.
01:13:29A ride?
01:13:30Yes.
01:13:31I'll take you myself.
01:13:33Of course, um...
01:13:35I'm gonna have to call the wife.
01:13:37She's probably out shopping.
01:13:38Not for too long.
01:13:40You see, my car...
01:13:42It's in the shop.
01:13:45I use a bicycle.
01:13:47Alice, I take you home.
01:13:49Oh, too bad.
01:13:53You warned him, you disgusting cretin.
01:13:56If you have killed him, Mrs. Vaughn,
01:13:58you would have gone to jail.
01:14:00You want this? Hmm?
01:14:02Your last paycheck. You're fired.
01:14:05I understand that you're angry.
01:14:07I'm very sorry about that.
01:14:09When my customers are angry,
01:14:11I ask them to voice their complaints in writing,
01:14:13if you don't mind.
01:14:15I work for Ted Cole. I'm a writer's assistant.
01:14:17Then you won't mind writing, will you?
01:14:27Sixty times.
01:14:29Really?
01:14:32Yes.
01:14:42The Vaughns of June Lane?
01:14:45We framed a painting by Sibley for them,
01:14:47called The Epitome of Diabolus.
01:14:50We framed a painting by Sibley for them,
01:14:52called The Epitome of Diabolus.
01:14:56Please go on.
01:14:59Your signature is very, very beautiful.
01:15:03I need a pen with a broader nib,
01:15:05and also some red ink. Hmm?
01:15:07Red like blood, not like a fire engine.
01:15:09Yes, of course.
01:15:19Wow.
01:15:46This is Ruth. She's four.
01:15:50What do you want from me?
01:15:52Just the photograph.
01:15:54It's of Ruth's mother. She's in a bed in a hotel room in Paris.
01:15:56But it's not a good picture of the boys.
01:15:58It's only their feet.
01:16:00Yes, I know. Ruth likes the feet.
01:16:02Are the feet ready?
01:16:04Yes, dear.
01:16:06I'll go check.
01:16:08They should be almost ready.
01:16:10Excuse me, ma'am. Can I have my writing back, please?
01:16:12It's really not out of my way.
01:16:14I'd be honored to take you. Really.
01:16:16No, that's all right.
01:16:18Someone else will come along soon.
01:16:20It's no trouble.
01:16:22Really, I don't mind.
01:16:24No, really. There you are.
01:16:26If you need a few minutes, I can run a few errands.
01:16:28I'd be thrilled to take you. Really.
01:16:30No.
01:16:36There's no charge for the photograph.
01:16:38Thank you.
01:16:45Yes.
01:16:47I'm sorry.
01:16:49He's the black guy?
01:16:51Yes, dear. Feet?
01:16:53As good as new.
01:16:55Okay. Thanks.
01:16:57Young man, if you're ever interested in a job,
01:16:59perhaps next summer,
01:17:01I can always use an extra hand in the summer.
01:17:03Thank you.
01:17:07She wrote a freshman English term paper on you.
01:17:09Shut up.
01:17:11What was the title of your term paper?
01:17:13An analysis of the atavistic symbols of fear
01:17:16in The Door and the Floor.
01:17:18As you know, myths and fairy tales of tribal peoples
01:17:21are full of images, like magic doors
01:17:24and children disappearing
01:17:26and people being so frightened
01:17:28their hair turns white overnight.
01:17:30In The Vagina, when the little boy's in the womb,
01:17:33the door and the floor is a vagina.
01:17:36How long was this paper?
01:17:3828 pages.
01:17:40I don't suppose you girls have a car.
01:17:42Believe it or not, they need a ride.
01:17:44Ha!
01:17:47I don't suppose you girls have a car.
01:17:49Believe it or not, they need a ride.
01:17:51Ha!
01:18:16Ah.
01:18:18Oh, is this sandwich for me?
01:18:20Yes.
01:18:22These slippers are just wonderful.
01:18:26They were a Christmas gift from me to my late husband.
01:18:29Ah. May I?
01:18:31Please.
01:18:35I'll get these clothes right back to you.
01:18:38I was just gonna give them to the goodwill anyway.
01:18:41Look at that.
01:18:43Bill was almost exactly your size.
01:18:46Ah.
01:18:52You know, this is rather serendipitous.
01:18:54I've been looking for two suitable subjects
01:18:57for a mother and daughter portrait,
01:18:59something I'm thinking about for my book.
01:19:01At first, I would want to draw you and your daughter together.
01:19:05That way, when I draw each one of you separately,
01:19:08the presence of the other one is somehow there.
01:19:12How long would it take, and which one of us
01:19:15would you want to draw first, separately?
01:19:18I should do Glory first.
01:19:21First, well, first the two of you together,
01:19:24and then, uh, then Glory alone,
01:19:27and then when Glory's back in college, you alone.
01:19:31Mr Cole, you really are an enigma.
01:19:34So which are you, an artist or a writer?
01:19:38Uh-uh.
01:19:41Uh-uh. Glory, I'm...
01:19:43I'm neither, really.
01:19:45I'm just an entertainer of children,
01:19:47and I like to draw.
01:19:49What sort of drawings did you have in mind?
01:19:52Oh!
01:19:54Don't stop. Wipe her.
01:19:56Wipe her.
01:20:11Uh, yeah, why don't you, uh,
01:20:14just, uh, come in and wait on the porch.
01:20:17I'll be right there.
01:20:40Okay.
01:21:11Okay.
01:21:13Uh-huh.
01:21:37Would you like, uh, some refreshments and water or tea?
01:21:42For the whole rest of your life,
01:21:44whenever you need to feel brave, just look at your scar.
01:21:47Your hand will grow bigger, and your finger will grow bigger,
01:21:50but your scar will always stay the same size,
01:21:53and it will always show up in your fingerprint.
01:21:55What's a fingerprint?
01:21:57I'll show you.
01:22:13Those are my fingerprints.
01:22:15Oh, that's really neat, Ruthie.
01:22:17So you were at the doctor's office
01:22:19getting the stitches taken out?
01:22:21And we went to the beach, and we had lunch,
01:22:24and Eddie showed me my fingerprints.
01:22:26Oh, that's really neat, Ruth.
01:22:28I see the photograph was ready, finally.
01:22:30We got the feet back!
01:22:32Look at all the sand in your hair, Ruth.
01:22:34You're gonna need a bath.
01:22:36Oh, thank you.
01:22:38We got the feet back!
01:22:40Look at all the sand in your hair, Ruth.
01:22:42You're gonna need a bath.
01:22:44Well, I was waiting quite a while for you this morning.
01:22:48Where were you?
01:22:50Where's Marion going?
01:22:52I'll give Ruth a bath. Better read that.
01:22:54Answer me.
01:22:56Read that first.
01:22:58What's this?
01:23:00It's the only good writing I've done all summer.
01:23:0360 times.
01:23:09Okay, let's run.
01:23:17Did you saw that?
01:23:19Where are all the other pictures?
01:23:21I don't know. Maybe Mommy moved them.
01:23:23Look at you. You've got sand in your toes,
01:23:25and in your hair, and in your ears.
01:23:27I got it in my crack, too.
01:23:29Well, I guess it's a good time for a bath, then.
01:23:33But Mommy didn't move those things.
01:23:36But Mommy didn't move those things.
01:23:38What are those things?
01:23:40They're picture hooks.
01:23:44Mommy moved all the pictures, but not the picture hooks.
01:23:47I'll give Ruth a bath.
01:23:49I'll take a quick shower.
01:23:51Yeah, make it quick.
01:23:53Why did Mommy do that?
01:23:58I don't know, sweetie.
01:24:06Hi, it's Ted. I can't play today, Dave.
01:24:09Yeah, my wife's left me.
01:24:12No, no.
01:24:14Okay.
01:24:19Yeah, all right. Yeah.
01:24:21I'll see you then. Bye.
01:24:30Where the fuck is my wife?
01:24:32I don't know.
01:24:34Look at me!
01:24:36Jesus!
01:24:40Christ!
01:24:42I hit you with an open hand!
01:24:44With a flat in my hand!
01:24:46You clenched your fist, you punched me in the nose!
01:24:48I'm sorry. Jesus Christ!
01:24:50I'm sorry. Marion said it was gonna make you stop.
01:24:52Marion said?
01:24:54If she thinks she's got a rat's ass of a chance to get custody of Ruth,
01:24:56she's got another thing coming.
01:24:58She doesn't expect to get custody of Ruth.
01:25:00She has no intention of trying.
01:25:02She told you that?
01:25:04She told me everything I'm telling you.
01:25:10What kind of mother doesn't even try to get custody of her daughter?
01:25:15I don't know.
01:25:17She didn't tell me that.
01:25:24Okay, okay.
01:25:28Christ.
01:25:31Why did she have to take all of the photographs?
01:25:33They're negatives.
01:25:35She could have taken the negatives and had prints of her own made.
01:25:37She took the negatives, too.
01:25:39The hell she did.
01:25:41Go look for yourself.
01:25:49She can't have the photographs and the negatives.
01:25:52They're my son's, too.
01:25:54I should have half the photographs, for Christ's sake.
01:25:56What about Ruth?
01:25:58The photographs?
01:26:00Marion said you'd say that, but she said no.
01:26:02Oh, well, obviously she went to New York.
01:26:05I doubt it.
01:26:07What do you know, Eddie?
01:26:09That's the only place she could go.
01:26:11I even know where in the city she is.
01:26:13I just can't imagine her going to New York.
01:26:15You don't have an imagination, Eddie.
01:26:19Could she plan on getting a divorce with her anyway?
01:26:22Is that Marion's question or is that your question?
01:26:25It's mine.
01:26:27Just stick to what Marion told you to say, okay?
01:26:29She didn't tell me to get the photograph.
01:26:31That was my idea.
01:26:33That was a good idea.
01:26:35I was thinking of Ruth.
01:26:37I know you were.
01:26:41Thank you.
01:26:43You want a drink?
01:26:45No.
01:26:49What day is tomorrow, Saturday?
01:26:51Yeah.
01:26:53I want you out of here by tomorrow, Sunday at the latest.
01:26:55That's fine. I just need a ride to the ferry.
01:26:57Alice can take you.
01:27:01What about this one?
01:27:03Tell it!
01:27:05I'm sorry, Ruth. I don't know, okay?
01:27:07I just...
01:27:09This is the one with Thomas in the tall hat.
01:27:11Tiffany's trying to reach Thomas' hat.
01:27:13Tiffany can't reach Thomas' hat
01:27:15because Thomas is standing on her ball.
01:27:17Tiffany got mad and started a fight.
01:27:19Was the fight in the picture?
01:27:21No, the fight was after the picture, you dummy!
01:27:23Okay, we're gonna go watch a movie.
01:27:25No! No!
01:27:27No!
01:27:29No!
01:27:31Stop it!
01:27:33No!
01:27:35Oh, Alice.
01:27:41What did you do to Alice, Eddie?
01:27:43I didn't do anything.
01:27:45She was crying when I first got here.
01:27:47I've been asking her what's wrong.
01:27:49She won't even talk to me.
01:27:53Where's Ruthie?
01:27:55She's asleep. She was crying.
01:28:01I'm sorry, Alice,
01:28:03for spreading all of this on you.
01:28:05Fuck you.
01:28:07I appreciate you picking up the slack.
01:28:13I've spent years
01:28:15trying to get over my own fucked-up family.
01:28:17And I've done the best I could.
01:28:19I'm sorry.
01:28:21And I've done the best
01:28:23I could with Ruth.
01:28:25No.
01:28:27No, I just can't anymore.
01:28:29I'm gonna quit.
01:28:31I quit.
01:28:33And you should have the decency
01:28:35to quit, too.
01:28:37It's too late for me to quit, Alice.
01:28:39I just got fired.
01:28:41You're such a superior person, Alice.
01:28:43Alice has been superior to me all summer.
01:28:45Haven't you, Alice?
01:28:47I am morally superior to you, Eddie.
01:28:49Morally superior.
01:28:51What a concept.
01:28:53Don't you ever feel morally superior, Eddie?
01:28:55Hmm?
01:28:57To you, I do.
01:28:59Yeah, you see? Everyone feels morally superior
01:29:01to someone.
01:29:03Fuck you guys.
01:29:05There goes my ride to the ferry.
01:29:07Oh, you're a smart boy, Eddie.
01:29:09You'll think of someone to give you a ride.
01:29:19You want a drink?
01:29:21No, thanks.
01:29:23Ah, for Christ's sake, have a beer.
01:29:29Jesus, look at this yard.
01:29:35I cannot believe
01:29:37she doesn't want custody of her own daughter.
01:29:39What kind of mother
01:29:41leaves her daughter?
01:29:43I don't know her well enough
01:29:45to judge her.
01:29:47Let me tell you something, Eddie.
01:29:49I don't know her well enough to judge her either.
01:29:53Yeah, well, don't forget.
01:29:55It's you she's really leaving.
01:29:57I guess she knew you pretty well.
01:30:01Well enough to judge me, you mean?
01:30:03Certainly.
01:30:07But, um,
01:30:09she's leaving you too, isn't she, Eddie?
01:30:11Yeah.
01:30:15You don't expect her to call you up
01:30:17for a secret rendezvous, do you?
01:30:21No, I don't expect to hear from her.
01:30:23No, me neither.
01:30:27I have drawings of her.
01:30:31I drew her long ago before the accident.
01:30:35She was so,
01:30:37so incredible, so fucking beautiful.
01:30:39Amazing.
01:30:41You shouldn't honor them.
01:30:45Oh, Miriam.
01:30:49She hated to pose for me.
01:30:55These are the only
01:30:57drawings I kept.
01:31:01I was never good enough
01:31:03to draw Miriam.
01:31:05I didn't know how to.
01:31:07You have the ability, I guess.
01:31:13You want one?
01:31:15You can have one.
01:31:17No, Ruth should have one.
01:31:19That's a good idea.
01:31:21You're full of good ideas, Eddie.
01:31:27On cubes.
01:31:37Miriam?
01:31:45Miriam?
01:31:47Jesus, aren't you the optimist?
01:31:53Forget the light, Eddie.
01:31:57This story's better in the dark.
01:32:03What story?
01:32:05You told me you asked Miriam
01:32:07to tell it to you, but Miriam can't
01:32:09handle the story.
01:32:11Turned her to stone just thinking about it.
01:32:13Remember? You turned her to stone
01:32:15just asking her about it.
01:32:17I remember.
01:32:21Go on.
01:32:27Oh, here's the deal.
01:32:31Thomas
01:32:33had his driver's license,
01:32:35but Timothy did not.
01:32:39Tommy was 17
01:32:41and had been driving
01:32:43for a year.
01:32:45Timmy was 15.
01:32:47He had only started to take driving lessons.
01:32:51It was Ted's opinion that
01:32:53Timmy, who was only learning,
01:32:55was already a more attentive student
01:32:57than Thomas ever had been.
01:32:59Timmy studied the driving manual
01:33:01diligently.
01:33:05He was a more patient driver
01:33:07than Thomas.
01:33:09Not that Tommy was a bad driver.
01:33:11Tommy was a good driver.
01:33:15He was alert,
01:33:17confident.
01:33:21He had excellent reflexes.
01:33:25And he was cynical
01:33:27enough to assume,
01:33:29as Ted had instructed him,
01:33:33that every other driver
01:33:35is a bad driver.
01:33:37Who taught you to drive, Eddie?
01:33:41My dad.
01:33:43Well, good for him.
01:33:45Tell him for me
01:33:47he did an excellent job, would you?
01:33:51Okay.
01:33:57Okay.
01:34:11Keep going.
01:34:15We were out west, actually.
01:34:19It was after a long day of skiing.
01:34:21It was snowing.
01:34:23Wet, thick snow.
01:34:27Ted and Marian,
01:34:2915 respectively,
01:34:31Thomas and Timothy
01:34:33could ski the pants off their parents.
01:34:35That day, in fact,
01:34:37Ted and Marian
01:34:39had retired to the bar
01:34:41at the ski resort
01:34:43where they were waiting
01:34:45for a very long time
01:34:47for Thomas and Timothy
01:34:49to finish their last run.
01:34:51And the last run after that.
01:34:53I get the picture.
01:34:55Well, that, uh...
01:34:59That was one aspect
01:35:01before it became trivial
01:35:03in the area
01:35:05of the ongoing argument
01:35:07between Marian and Ted.
01:35:09I mean, Marian said that Ted was drunk,
01:35:11although in his view he wasn't.
01:35:13Marian, while not drunk,
01:35:15certainly had had more to drink
01:35:17than she was accustomed to.
01:35:19Besides, Tommy had not been drinking.
01:35:21He had his license.
01:35:23They were arguing as to who among them
01:35:25should be the driver.
01:35:27And brothers being brothers,
01:35:29Timmy sat beside him
01:35:31in his passenger seat.
01:35:33And as for the parents,
01:35:35Ted and Marian
01:35:39sat in the back seat.
01:35:43Ted and Marian
01:35:45began to quarrel
01:35:47about the best route
01:35:49back to the hotel.
01:35:51It didn't have to be a left turn,
01:35:53no matter how Tommy did it.
01:35:55So Tommy moves
01:35:57into the center lane.
01:35:59It's a turning lane.
01:36:01It's not a passing lane.
01:36:03He puts on his blinker,
01:36:05not knowing that
01:36:07both lights are covered
01:36:09with wet, sticky snow
01:36:11that his father failed to clear off
01:36:13at the same time his father
01:36:15failed to clear off the rear window.
01:36:18Any cars coming up
01:36:20from behind Tommy's car
01:36:22can't see the directional signals
01:36:24or the brake lights
01:36:26or the taillights.
01:36:28The car is not visible,
01:36:30or it's visible
01:36:32only at the last second
01:36:34to anyone approaching
01:36:36from behind.
01:36:44And then
01:36:46the interior of the car
01:36:48is filled with light.
01:36:50It's the headlights from the car
01:36:52coming up from behind.
01:37:04The snowplow
01:37:06cut the car almost perfectly in half.
01:37:16Tommy was killed by the steering column,
01:37:18crushed his chest,
01:37:20died instantly.
01:37:22And Ted
01:37:26was trapped in the back seat
01:37:28for, oh, 20 minutes.
01:37:33He...
01:37:35He couldn't see Tommy,
01:37:37but he knew he was dead
01:37:39because Marion could see him.
01:37:42She couldn't see Timmy.
01:37:44She was directly in front of her.
01:37:46Ted, however,
01:37:48could see that Timmy was still breathing.
01:37:50He could also see that
01:37:52the snowplow,
01:37:54as it cut the car in half,
01:37:56also cut Timmy's left leg off
01:37:58at the thigh.
01:38:07Timothy Cole
01:38:09led to death of a severed femoral artery.
01:38:15Marion knew
01:38:17that Tommy was dead,
01:38:19but only that Timmy had been carried
01:38:21from the wreckage up late
01:38:24to the hospital.
01:38:26And then Marion,
01:38:29she sees Timmy's shoe
01:38:31in the wreckage.
01:38:33Oh, look,
01:38:35Timmy's shoe. He's gonna need his shoe.
01:38:40And she
01:38:42walks over to it, reaches down to pick it up.
01:38:52Ted...
01:38:54Ted wanted to stop her.
01:39:05Talk about pinned to stone.
01:39:09I couldn't move.
01:39:11I couldn't even speak.
01:39:31And that was when
01:39:33Ted allowed his wife to discover
01:39:35that her younger son's shoe
01:39:37was attached.
01:39:42To a leg.
01:39:47And that was when Marion realized
01:39:49that Timmy was gone...
01:39:52too.
01:39:58And that...
01:40:02that is the end of the story.
01:40:11I'm sorry.
01:40:37I hired you, Eddie,
01:40:39because...
01:40:42I gave her you.
01:40:53See you in the morning, Eddie.
01:41:09He's Eduardo.
01:41:11What's Eduardo doing here?
01:41:14No, no, no. Maybe Mrs. Vaughn hired him to kill you.
01:41:18I don't know.
01:41:20I don't know.
01:41:22I don't know.
01:41:24I don't know.
01:41:26I don't know.
01:41:28I don't know.
01:41:30I don't know.
01:41:32I don't know.
01:41:34I don't know.
01:41:36I don't know.
01:41:38I don't know.
01:41:40Maybe he did it to kill you.
01:41:42No, no, not, not Eduardo.
01:41:44You don't see her out there any more?
01:41:46She's not in the cab or in the back.
01:41:49No, maybe she's lying underneath the truck.
01:41:54I'm being serious, for Christ's sake.
01:41:56So am I.
01:42:02Why don't you go out there and...
01:42:05see what he wants?
01:42:07Oh, for Christ's sake.
01:42:09What?
01:42:11Well...
01:42:13At least go with me, then.
01:42:15I can't go out there alone.
01:42:17Mrs. Vaughn fired me.
01:42:19Eduardo, Eduardo, Eduardo.
01:42:21Let me make sure I understand you.
01:42:23You think you saved my life,
01:42:25and this cost you your job?
01:42:27Yes, I did save your life,
01:42:29and it did cost me my job.
01:42:31Well, Eduardo, I play squash regularly,
01:42:33and I'm pretty fleet of foot,
01:42:35but I do appreciate your brave warning.
01:42:37How much money are we talking about, exactly?
01:42:39I'm not here for a hand-down, Mr. Cole.
01:42:44I was hoping you might have some more for me.
01:42:47Uh...
01:42:52Let me show you where I want to put a pool.
01:42:56I want more lawn, like an athletic field.
01:42:59You know, just...
01:43:01You want some lines painted on it?
01:43:03No, just the size of an athletic field.
01:43:06Wow.
01:43:08That's a lot of lawn,
01:43:10a lot of mowing,
01:43:12and a lot of fertilizers.
01:43:14Ah, well, whatever you say,
01:43:16I'm putting you in charge.
01:43:18Thank you, Mr. Cole.
01:43:20What about your wife?
01:43:22What about her?
01:43:24Oh, oh, I...
01:43:26Does she work, or what does she do?
01:43:29Yeah, sure. Sure, she works.
01:43:31She cooks, she look after our children.
01:43:34Mm-hmm.
01:43:36Maybe, uh, maybe she'd like to clean my house.
01:43:40Or maybe she'd like to cook for me
01:43:42and, uh, look after my daughter, Ruth.
01:43:45Sure.
01:43:47I'll ask her.
01:43:49Good, good.
01:43:51Excellent.
01:43:53Got to do something about these straggly flower beds, too.
01:43:57Oh.
01:43:58You can start today, Eduardo.
01:44:00You can begin by taking my former assistant to Orient Point, hmm?
01:44:03Sure, I can do that.
01:44:06Uh, uh, immediately, before breakfast, huh?
01:44:09Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
01:44:11Mm-hmm.
01:44:27Well, you're a fairly good driver, Eddie.
01:44:32About Marion,
01:44:34there's another thing you should know.
01:44:37Even before the accident, I mean,
01:44:40even if there had never been an accident,
01:44:43she still would be difficult.
01:44:48I don't believe it.
01:44:54About the shoe,
01:44:57it was a basketball shoe.
01:44:59An Air Jordan, I think he called it.
01:45:07Specific details, Eddie.
01:45:10Specific details.
