All language subtitles for 1993 - Lake Consequence

I want to see a permit. Do you have one?

Don't kick the table.

Don't kick the table.

Your mother asked you to stop kicking
the table, okay?

I'm not going to school today.

I'm not going to school.

Christopher, honey, everybody goes to
school. You have to go to school.

I'm not going.

Chris, don't start with me.

Okay, that's it. Come on, big guy. We're
out of here.

Honey, I can't take you. I've got an
appointment.

That's enough, Christopher.

Come on, get in the car.

Look, I just wanted to say sorry for
earlier.

I know it's not your fault. I just
realized you were pruning the trees.

See, we've been having this constant
battle with the city wanting to chop the

trees down, and when I heard your saw
this morning... Well, I just wanted

to say I'm sorry.

I mean, I always trim the trees this
time of year.

If you were cutting the trees down, you
wouldn't be starting at the top, you'd

be starting at the bottom.

You know, it's a lot like your kid.

Excuse me?

It wasn't that I didn't like my father.
I was just crazy about my mother.

You're going to get tired.

Who's this?

You think she's pretty?

Oh, come on.

No, no, no.

What time is it?

Late.

Are you okay?

Is something wrong?

No.

I don't know what to say to you when you
get like this.

Sometimes everything is great.

And sometimes it's like you're on
another planet.

I can't reach you when you behave like
this.

I don't want to behave.

Just with some sort of consistency.

Very cool.

Honey, thank you for your support in
fishing and hunting.

I want to bring my turtles.

What else?

If I ever love again, something's got to
change.

If I ever love again,

something's got to change.

Did I wake you?

No.

Your boy?

No, I'm trying to quit smoking, and the
first rule is not to smoke in the house.

I thought that was the second rule.

So what's the first?

Not smoking in bed.

You want a beer?

No, thanks.

Beautiful, aren't they?

They're the whole reason we bought this
house.

And last summer, they got infested with
these white bugs in the city.

The city came out, and there was nothing
they could do, so they decided to chop

them down.

I circulated a petition, and all the
neighbors signed it.

Took it to city council, and... And you
won.

And I won.

It's nice to win for a change.

Don't you usually win?

I don't think in terms of winning or
losing.

How do you think?

I think I should be going back to you.

Wait a minute.

I have something for you.

These are the larvae of moths.

All you do is you place it under the
bark, and when they hatch, the moths

eat the bugs.

It's safe.

No chemicals.

Perfect.

Big fish.

How many big fish?

Forty and fifty.

Forty and fifty. Have fun.

See you Monday.

Have a good time.

We will.

We'll call you when we get there.

Bye, T.

Thank you.

You slept a long time. You must have
been in another world.

Where am I?

Only consequence.

I had no idea you were in the trailer. I
never would have pulled away.

Is there a phone somewhere I could use?

No phones, no electricity, no nothing.

What were you doing in Billy's trailer
anyway?

I came to ask him about something that
he gave me.

And the lock, by chance.

Is he around here anywhere?

He'll be here soon.

How far is the nearest town from here?

Miles.

Do you think you could take me into
town?

Next time I go in.

When are you going?

Tonight sometime.

There's a big party. Chinese New Year.

You're not going into town until
tonight?

Come on, swim a while. It's the summer.

I'm sorry, it'll dry.

Come on.

Come out to this float.

I can't swim.

I love the cold current.

But it's freezing in here. Come on, I
used to be a lifeguard.

Three summers with the American Club in
Taipei.

No problem.

I'll take you out. Trust me.

Built this myself.

Cut the lumber and everything.

Not bad for a girl, huh?

Yeah, it's really stable.

The

old

one got smashed up in a storm.

My grandfather built that one.

This whole place, as far as you can see,
belonged to him.

I didn't tell you my name.

I'm Irene.

Hi, Irene. I'm Grace.

Hi, Grace.

You should take that dress off. You're
going to catch a cold.

I'd rather not take my dress off.

Taught me how to swim, too, my
grandfather.

Right here in this very lake.

I wish I'd learned how to swim.

Did you grow up in the desert or
something?

No. My mother was very protective.

My mom didn't give a damn about me.

She dropped me off at my father's lap
one day and we never saw her again.

He was a missionary in Taiwan.

Still is.

Um, the tree trimmer.

Billy.

Billy. You know, Irene, Billy and I, we
just see each other when he's passing

through.

We're friends, you know?

So you're really welcome here.

She was locked in the trailer.

I know you.

You're the smoker.

Come out here for the air?

You like fish?

So?

So what were you doing in my trailer?

She was locked in. The door jammed.

Really?

That's funny. It never sticks on me.

I oil it just to make sure.

Getting stuck someplace I can't get out
of, that scares the shit out of me.

Especially someplace I don't belong.

Well, I... You...

I just came to say thanks.

For?

For the monster you gave me.

Came to my trailer to thank me for
moths.

And you got stuck and you ended up here.

I don't think so.

I'd like a ride into town if it's not
too much trouble for you.

Why?

So I can take the bus home.

What?

Come on.

Let's get you something to lie around.

Hey.

One of those trees in your neighborhood?

Could have trimmed them in half the time
it took me.

I didn't.

Well, I don't know why.

I enjoyed it in your neighborhood.

I liked watching you send your husband
and kid off in the morning.

I liked watching you come home with the
groceries.

I thought you'd like to know.

It's a very nice thing for you to say.

What year were you born?

1960. Year of the rat.

The rat?

Says here she's inquisitive.

And thinks too much at the expense of
the thing she wants.

Date and time?

October 24th, 7 .15 in the morning.
Mother told me it was just in time for

breakfast.

That's Scorpio.

Power of the dragon.

Pretty powerful country.

I thought they had too much to fry.

The sweetest girl.

Let's say I got a $50 ,000 a year job,
right? $15 ,000 of that goes right off

the top to taxes.

Then I've got a place to live, so I
figure $1 ,000 sold out for mortgage

payments and rent.

Then move, got to have a car.

All right, another $400, $500 up for
that.

Gas, food, electricity.

Clothes, stereo.

What am I left with here?

Not much. Right, not much.

Well, I guess we should be going.

You know where you're going?

Yeah.

Ciao. Good night.

Bye.

Getting on or what?

Yellowstone? No.

Are we going to Jellystone?

No.

Are we going to Punkytown?

No. Have you been to Hong Kong? No, I
haven't. Have you been to a Chinese

workshop?

No.

Have you ever been to a Chinese laundry?

Where's everyone?

Outside.

Mystery of the married woman.

Christmas trees.

Breakfast of men.

You know the grass is always greener.

Do you think you can pretend what just
happened didn't happen?

It's written all over your face.

So did you tell your husband where you
were?

He wasn't home.

Are you going to tell him?

I don't want to lie to him.

You don't have to lie.

You don't have to say anything.

Do you ever take that off?

No.

Take it off.

Come on, I just want to see.

How does it feel without it?

I feel naked.

His name is

Chanel.

As in, now.

You want to meet him?

He's a friend of mine.

He's pretty sexy.

I think you might like him.

You can pretend all you want.

Tonight, you're getting locked in
Billy's trailer.

Things don't just happen.

You stayed for a reason.

All I'm saying is maybe you should find
out what that reason is.

What?

He says you have summer fire in your
hair and winter oceans in your eyes.

Thank you.

He's always been below the top.

Thank you.

What the hell are you?

What are you, nuts? Are you nuts?

Are you crazy?

What the hell got into you? Hey, it's no
big deal. It's just the curtains and a

couple of pillows.

Move over.

Make sure she doesn't move. Put this
down.

I know it's none of my business, but if
I were you, I'd go home.

You know where to find me.

You want to talk about this? You got
something to say? Come on, let's hear

Spit it out.

Come on, say it.

Say it.

Come on, say it. I didn't ask you to
stay. You stayed because you wanted to.

This is bullshit.

Come on, damn it.

Fine. You want to talk about what
happened last night? You really want to

You think I wanted her more than I
wanted you?

That's bullshit. It's the complete
fucking opposite. I wanted you so bad it

scared me. Scared the shit out of me.

So what did I do? I did what I always do
when something scares me. I push it

away.

Did I ever have a fucking relationship
that means something? Take me with you.

Where? Where the fuck do you think I'm
going?

Take me with you. Where?

Honestly, where do you think I'm going?

I mean, I'm a loser.

I'm a fucking loser.

No, I'm the loser. I can't go back.

I can't pretend anymore.

Don't talk.

I don't have no place to go. Please just
take me with you.

Please.

You want to live like me? Fuck.

No, that's great.

You want to work? You work when I want
to work.

When I want to work.

You eat when I want to eat. Fuck when I
want to fuck. Let's eat.

I'm hungry.

I'm hungry now.

Pull over!

Pull over!

Pull the fuck over!

Pull over right now!

Pull the fuck over! Pull over right now!

The lady don't want to get up.

Shit, what the lady said. Come over
here.

The lady said she don't want to.

Get out of the truck. Get the fuck out
of the truck.

Where do you think you're going? Get out
of here! Get out of the fucking...

Lady,

I want to go with you. Help! This is
between me and her! I used your wife,

fiancee, to get the fuck out of my life!

What the fuck do you want?

What do you want?

What do you fucking want?

What are you wanting from me? It's not
me and it's not your husband. What the

fuck is it? Go home.

All my best friend, Viv, and I could
think about was this guy in this pant.

We were 15 when we came to town.

I snuck over to her house late that
night.

And we went and pushed our way through
that crowd right up to the front desk.

You're not in your day.

Next thing I knew I was on the bus with
him in the band

I should have known better.

That's exactly what happened to me.

I deserved exactly what happened to me.

My parents...

The next day, the whole town was talking
about me.

My parents took me out of school.

And we moved away the next week.

You gotta go home.

You don't think you can do it, do you?

You can.

It's really simple.

All you got to do when he comes in, you
say, Hi, honey.

Did you catch any fish?

That simple.

Okay, you want to repeat it after me?
Hi, honey.

Did you catch any fish?

Come on now, let's practice. Hi, honey.

You start.

You know, as soon as your husband walks
in that door, you know it's going to be

okay. Your kid will run into your arms.
You'll hug him.

Smell the way kids smell.

And you'll know instantly you made the
right decision.

Right now, I don't think you do, but you
will.

I know.

My mother would have left my father a
long time ago.

That's why I shouldn't love him.

It just wasn't a be -all and end -all
for her.

I mean, everyday life and romance are
not necessarily compatible, if you know

what I mean.

There's family.

All said and done, that's all you got.
That's it.

People caring for each other, people
growing together, people staying

Loving each other.

I miss that.

Irene, this is the second time I've
called.

It's starting to rain and I think Chris
is going down with something, so we're

coming home tonight.

Bye.

Coming home early.

Guess we'll just have to beat them back,
won't we?

So, let's make a plan.

You get home, they're there.

You run straight upstairs, you go to the
bathroom, you lock the door.

No fish, no honey, not yet.

You flush the toilets.

You turn on the shower, and if he's
knocking on the door, you tell him

sick, right? You tell him you got the
stomach flu or something. So you got the

shower and the flushing going at the
same time. He's very confused, and you

between the flushing of the toilets and
the... This is a stupid plan. This is...

Say something.

About anything.

Jesus.

You gotta practice. You gotta practice
talking, you know? You're gonna need to

talk pretty soon. You gotta work up
those vocal cords, alright?

So let's... Okay?

Plan B.

So there we go. You go to your
girlfriend's house.

Every woman's got a girlfriend.

So you go to your girlfriend's house.
She'll fix you up. She'll give you some

shoes, some makeup.

Some clothes.

You're good as new. A million dollars.

Let's work on those lines.

Hi, honey, did you catch any fish? Let's
try it, okay? You know. Take it away.

Run, Irene.

This is you. Go.

With feeling.

Come on.

Hi, honey, did you catch any fish? Come
on,

damn it!

Hi, honey, did you catch any goddamn
fish?

This is bullshit!

Say it!

Come on, say it! Hi, honey!

Did you catch any fish?

Come on.

Come on, hi, honey.

Honey, did you catch any fish?

I'm dead.

What's the code?

Code. 12 -23.

Please leave a message after the beep.

All right, we're in. Hi, Irene.

Are you there?

We just turned off the 101, and we
should be home in about 10 to 15

Where are you? I've been calling you all
day.

Yes, you can. No, I never told him
anything about me. About you? Listen,

don't fall in love with people because
of their past.

They fall in love with people for who
they are. Now, get out of here.

Come on. Hi, honey. Did you catch any
fish?

All right, well, I can sit right down
there. We're going to wash your face.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Just stay right there.

Wash your face. I've got to get you
dressed.

What are you, a spring? Or, you know...
What?

Good. Now, remember.

Big smile.

High hunting.

But you can't eat fish.

I can't come through with this.

Of course you can. It's easy. It's
simple. It's a piece of cake.

There we go.

Shit, I'll do it.

A lot of people get swept up in
situations they feel they can't control.

Personally, I think people let
themselves get swept away.

They've got to learn about themselves.

And what we've got to do is have the
strength to deal with what happens and

courage to face the consequences.

There's something precious to hold on to
here.

You hear me? You've got something
precious to hold on to. Now you hold on

Hold on.

Take me with you.

You're just going to do one step at a
time.

I know maybe you're going to tell your
husband, right, that maybe you are not,

but you're going to go downstairs and
you're going to kiss that man.

Why don't you get the stuff out of the
car?
