My name is Kate, and I live in this house.

This is my sister Elaine and her husband Mark.

And this is their home.

I have lived with them for a long time.

Long enough to help raise their son, Ronnie.

long enough to help raise their daughter, Stacy.

This is me, Kate.

And I have lived here long enough for Mark and I to have been having a love

affair for 15 years.

I knew loneliness.

I didn't want to hurt Elaine, but I desperately needed Mark's love to help

fill this void.

Oh.

I used my loneliness to justify many sins.

I knew the love of other women, even if they were my own niece.

But this night was to unalterably change the lives of each of us.

And the end began at 3 a .m.

Oh, Mark.

What are you

laughing at? I had a recorder going. What?

It was on tape.

We have two beautiful children. We have this beautiful home on the beach. And

you're not near me. You're not touching me. You're not touching my heart. Where

are you? I touch you. I run my hands over you.

Nothing. I get a half a woman coming back.

Why?

Is it me?

Well, don't you want to make up to me?

I don't know.

I love you.

You're the only man I love, the only man I want. I don't think, no, I don't

think that's right.

I think you love what I look to be.

This man, this beach house, this beautiful ocean.

That's what you married.

You didn't marry a person, a soul.

I don't feel that feeling.

And there's got to be more. There's got to be more.

Nothing.

mean it. I swear I am.

Please don't even touch me. Get off me.

Get off me!

Okay, it's time.

Nothing to stop.

Yeah. Say that one again. Say it so I can hear it.

Do you want to hit me, Mark?

Oh, no, no, no.

Not even a tiny bit.

What I want to do is be as far away from you as I possibly can for the rest of

my fucking life.

That's what I want.

Then get up, get out of the bed, take your toothbrush, your toothpaste, your

overcoat, and leave.

Bless you.

I'm living on a boat.

The sound of Mark and Elaine making love became too painful to bear, and so I

decided to go down to the family boat where I had gone so often before to meet

Mark. My brother -in -law.

My lover.

Thank you.

I can't change it anymore.

I've left her, and I'm leaving you, and I'm finding me.

I'm not going to let you leave. There's nothing you have to let me or not let me

do. I love you, Mark.

That's tough, baby, because I've had it. I've had it with you and everything.

Would you like something to eat?

Get out of here.

God.

Get away from me.

How many of those did you take?

Oh, leave me alone. I want to die.

Wherever I was going, I eat, sleep.

Settling is just not enough.

I know.

I know.

How could you know? You've never had love.

Mark was alone in the boat that night. The Coast Guard said there was no reason

to believe that there was anyone with him.

There, you see.

Yet Vicki Wilson said that she did see Mark take the boat out.

And she did see a woman with him.

It's her imagination.

You know what you can see on a beach at night.

Shadows. But if there was someone with him.

There wasn't. But if there was, she could have had something to do with the

accident.

Elaine.

Mark Brown.

He's dead.

That's right.

So we'll never know if he was hurt by a blow or something.

It's... It was an accident.

The kind of thing that could happen, it did happen.

But why would Vicki Wilson lie?

Because she's a bitch.

Okay, Elaine.

You know there was never any other woman in Mark's life that moved?

Oh, I wish I could believe that.

The day's drag on.

There's nothing.

There will be in time.

And all of this is over.

Same old sister.

Always an answer for everything.

Well, you've got to think of Ronnie and Stacey now.

They're alien to me.

Why do you say that?

The way I feel, Kate.

Well, you just can't be that selfish anymore. They need you now.

I can't give.

I can't give to anyone.

Kate, I'm so goddamn lonely.

as if you don't mind.

Elaine, you've hardly said two words to me in the past few days.

There's something about her.

I'm sorry, Kate. I just haven't been feeling well.

Is there anything I can do?

No, not really.

Oh.

Thank you

Oh, yes.

Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

How could you know he's never had love?

I can't believe it!

Hello?

Oh, Stacy, come on in.

Excuse me.

Oh, may I use your telephone?

What?

I don't know who she

was or where she'd come from.

She was suddenly upon me, and I loved it.

Oh.

uh uh

Oh, she just stays in her room all day long. That's all.

She'll pull out of it.

She never even talks to me anymore.

She doesn't talk to me either.

So what?

You don't even care.

Look, Stacy, let's not talk about it.

Think there was another woman in the boat with Dad?

Maybe.

Don't you even care?

Look, what difference does it make now?

Well, what about Mom? How do you think she feels?

Look, a man is different than a woman.

He can still love somebody and have others.

Oh, are you dumb?

I bet you never even had a woman.

Oh, yeah?

Yes. When did you even have a chance being away at a boys' school all year

Oh, shut up.

I suppose you've had sex.

Well, no.

The monkey's playing that thing over and over again.

That's all she's got.

The things they said.

The things they did.

You've really grown up since you've been away.

So have you.

Come on, I have to take the horse back to the stable.

Are you Mrs. Stanton?

And you're Morgan?

Yes.

I've already checked the boat out. The engines are fine.

Good.

My husband always took good care of the boat.

How much do you want for the boat?

I don't really know.

Come on, I'm not going to bite you. I'm going to write you out a check.

Here's a check. I hope that's enough.

I didn't expect that much.

Your husband died on this boat, didn't he?

Yes. Sorry.

No, it's all right. I've got to get over it.

I can see that.

Okay, off you go.

Did I cause that?

No.

You're getting wet.

I get wet there, too.

I'm getting wet now.

Want to feel?

Come on.

Let me see you.

Softest, tightest, sweetest. Let me see.

Oh, God, I'm gonna... I'm gonna cum.

I suppose you won't believe me if I told you I've never done anything like this

before. I believe it.

And you'll be doing it again.

Nothing vain about you.

I didn't mean me. I meant there'll be others.

You know why?

What you want, you'll be looking for in others, like you did with me.

But you won't find it. I don't understand.

The peace will come when you learn to accept your loneliness.

I still don't understand.

I think you do.

I keep thinking Dad's still away on business, like he always was.

I keep thinking he's still coming back.

We miss him terribly, don't you?

Yeah.

So do I, Stacy.

I'll never be the same without him.

Still have each other, Mom.

Hey, what's wrong?

Nothing.

I had a study.

You want an aspirin?

No. Sit down. I'll get you dinner.

Where are the others?

Where's mother?

Your mother isn't feeling well.

So what else is new?

Don't be smart.

She never does feel well.

Kate, I'm worried.

I'm afraid Mother's really going to do something.

Your mother's going to be all right.

Then why did she try to kill herself?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean.

Do you think Stacy and I are stupid?

We hear everything that goes on in this house.

Look,

where is everybody?

Damn, I got a sticker in my foot.

Hey, Ronnie.

What? Look in my foot and see this sticker.

What do you want, Stacy?

Company.

You know, there are times when people have to be alone.

You're not people. You're my brother.

Be quiet.

Dad taught you to appreciate this kind of music, didn't he?

Uh -huh.

He used to take you to see all the concerts all the time.

He never took me.

You know, I love Dad just as much as you did.

I know, Stacy.

You thought that he loved you more than he did me.

Well, he didn't.

Stacy, he loved us both the same.

Why'd he even have to die and leave us?

That's just the way it is.

You know, when they told you Dad died, you just stood there.

I have never seen you cry in your whole life.

Stacy, I haven't stopped crying.

Vicki, I want to talk to you. Hello, Kate.

I haven't seen you around lately. Never mind the small talk.

You're coming on like a Sherman tank, Kate. I've been watching you for days.

If you're in a shitty mood, I don't need it.

I want to know why you lied to Elaine about there being someone with Mark on

boat that night.

Well, there was someone, a woman.

Then you can identify her?

No, it was dark. I couldn't see.

You're a liar.

You just don't want to believe it. Well, even if it were true, why would you

want to hurt Elaine?

I didn't think of it as hurting Elaine. I just thought the truth should be

known. You are an evil, conniving, troublemaking little bitch.

Fuck you.

What was that all about, Miss Wilson?

Oh, nothing. Just girl talk.

Say, we've been neighbors for three years, and this is the first time we've

been alone together.

You're all grown up, aren't you?

I'm old enough.

Bye. Bye, Miss Wilson.

Vicki. The name is Vicki.

V -I -C -K -I -E. Vicki.

Say it.

Vicki. Say it. That wasn't so difficult, was it?

You know, I'm real sorry to hear about your dad, Ronnie. I know that you and he

were close.

It's all right.

I know. It must be tough.

Yeah.

You better go. The shrew's calling.

I'll see you around.

Yeah.

Bye, Vicki.

Hi.

Do you like good music?

Yeah, I like good music.

I mean really good music.

Yeah, I like really good music.

Do you want to come in?

Sure.

Would you like some wine?

Thank you. I love good music and I so rarely get to hear it.

You'll love this.

Would you like something to eat?

No. No, thank you.

Today, Monday.

I think so.

Why? I'm just wondering.

I suddenly lost track of time.

Yeah.

I do that sometimes, too.

Tomorrow always seemed so exciting when I was a girl.

I used to think every tomorrow would be wonderful.

I used to.

That I realize that every tomorrow is alike.

Yeah, they are, aren't they?

Nothing's... Nothing's ever different.

Oh, that picture.

I used to be a model a long time ago.

I wasn't very good at it.

But then I never liked modeling anyway.

Your wine's gone. Here, have mine.

Thank you.

Ah, that's a guy I knew once. A singer.

Guys fool you. They hurt you.

That's my problem, not yours.

You just take care of yourself.

You want to do it?

I would say that we did.

So...

Well, I guess I'll see you tomorrow night.

Oh, gee, kid, I'm sorry.

I've got a date.

I like cake.

Huh?

Sure. Do you like all the cake?

There once was a little bed and found a piece

of wheat.

I shall make some bread, she said.

for all of us to eat.

Now who will help me carry the sweet?

She looked around the yard.

Oh, wow, said the dog.

I can't help you. I'm working far too hard.

Oh, said the cat. Not I. I'm much too busy, don't you see?

Oh,

said the horse.

Don't look at me.

Very well, said the little red hen.

I'll carry the wheat myself.

And she did.

Now, who will help me grind this wheat?

Said the little red hen.

Not I, said the dog.

Quack, quack, quack.

Well, a terrific pain in my back.

Not I, said the pig.

Oink, oink, oink.

I'm much too fat.

Well, said the little red hen.

I'll grind the meat myself.

And she did.

Now, who will help me bake the bread?

Said the little red hen.

Now, I said the cow.

I've much too much to eat.

And that I said the thing.

I'm getting silly.

Oh, it's fine.

There he was, with the little red hand.

I'll bake the bread myself.

And she did.

Now, who will help me eat this bread?

Oh, I said the dog, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

And I said the cat, meow, meow, meow.

And I said the dog, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow.

And I said the, not the pig, the horse.

Oh,

said the hen.

I'll eat the bread myself.

And she did.

Stacy, what do you want?

Nothing. I'm bored. There's nobody home.

I'm trying to sleep. Would you close the door, please?

Sure.

Bye.

Bye.

That's enough. Oh, come on, Aunt Kate.

I said that's enough.

Oh, just one more?

I've got work to do.

You must have taken a dozen pictures of me already anyway.

22 to be exact.

Now that one had real character.

Aunt Kate?

Hmm?

What's the matter?

What do you mean?

Why are you so down?

Am I?

I heard you crying in your room last night.

I forget how sound travels in this house.

Where were you crying?

Nothing that need worry you.

Ronnie, I'm very appreciative of your concern.

Why shouldn't I be concerned?

You're somebody I love very much.

This is a very cowardly way to do this.

But I just can't face you.

And there's something you have to know.

There was someone on the boat with Mark that night.

Me.

Yes, we made love.

As we have for years.

And all those years, I always thought he loved me too.

But it was you.

Helene, I always loved you.

Oh, God, I loved him from the first time I saw him.

But he was yours.

Seems like everything I ever really wanted in life was always yours.

That night, that night I wanted him to go away with me.

I thought, Stacy going off to school, children grown.

I said, you can be free.

We can really be together.

And Elaine, he looked at me as if I were crazy.

And he said, he'd never leave you.

And I, I said, no.

I threw something, a bottle, I think.

I wanted to hurt him if he'd hurt me.

And it went over the side.

I tried to find him, Elaine. I told him.

Elaine.

What can I say except...

I'm terribly, terribly sorry.

Please.

Please, try not to make the children hate me.

Even if you do.

Stay there.

Let her go, Stacy.

There's nothing we can stop.

Get Mom.

Please stay tuned for our coming attraction.
