Jim, they're out there cutting THE TREES

DOWN. JIM!

JIM!

THEY'RE CUTTING down the trees.

Hey!

Stop it!

Did you hear me? I SAID STOP IT!

WE HAVE A PERMIT.

I WANT TO SEE YOUR PERMIT. SHOW ME YOUR

PERMIT.

I WANT TO SEE A PERMIT. Do you have one?

Do you have one?

Christopher, honey, don't kick the

table.

Don't kick the table. Christopher, 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 today.

I'm not going.

Chris, don't start with me.

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

out of here.

I don't want to go. Come on.

I don't want

to go to school.

I want

you, Mommy.

That's not fair.

You can take me, Mommy. I want a kiss.

Kiss first.

Here, I'll give you a kiss.

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

appointment. That's enough, Christopher.

Come on, get in the car.

I'll take you tomorrow.

I'll take you tomorrow.

Goodbye, Mommy.

Bye.

Bye, honey.

Uh, look, I just wanted to say sorry for

earlier.

I know it's not your fault. I just

realized you were trimming the trees.

See, we've been having this constant

battle with the city wanting to chop the

trees down, and when I heard or saw this

morning,

well, I just wanted to say I'm sorry.

I mean, they 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

start at the bottom.

You know, I was a lot like your kid.

Excuse me?

It wasn't that I didn't like my father.

I was I was just crazy about my mother.

You look tired.

Huh,

who's this?

Do you think she's pretty?

Don't. Oh, come on.

I just want to know if you think she's

pretty.

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.

Like what?

It's just that sometimes everything is

fine.

It's great, even.

And sometimes it's like you're on

another planet.

I can't reach you when you behave like

this.

How do you want me to behave?

Just with some sort of consistency.

Why can't Mommy come? Honey, camping is

for big boys.

And fishing and hunting. I want to bring

my turtles, too.

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.

You bored?

No, I'm trying to quit smoking and the

first rule is not to smoke in the house.

I thought there was a second rule.

So, what's the first?

Not smoking in bed.

Want a beer?

No, thanks.

Beautiful, aren't they?

They're the whole reason we bought this

house.

Then last summer they got infested with

these white bugs in the city.

The city came out and

there's 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 bed.

Wait a minute.

I got something for you.

These are the larva of the moths.

All you do is you place it under the

bark.

And when they hatch, the moths will eat

the bugs.

It's safe. No chemicals.

Perfect.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Have a good time. Yeah. We're going to

catch big, big, big big fish. How many

big fish

40 and 50. 40 and 50. Make it 60.

Have fun.

Love you.

See you Monday.

Have a good time. We will.

Call you when we get there.

Bye, sweetie. Bye.

Drive carefully.

Bye.

Wait! No, Jim, wait!

Oh, my

god, it's

Jim!

Jim!

Wait!

It's sharks!

JIM!

JIM!

HELLO?

HELLO?

HELLO?

Is anyone here?

HEY!

HEY!

HEY!

HEY, THERE'S SOMEONE IN HERE!

HEY!

HEY!

HEY!

HELLO?

HELLO?

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

HEY.

HEY.

You slept a long time. You must have

been in another world.

Where am I?

On Lake 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 got jammed.

Oh.

Is he around here anywhere?

He'll be here soon.

How far is the nearest town from here?

Myles.

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? So, come on. Swim a

while.

It's okay.

Relax.

Put your arms out.

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 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.

You grew 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 in 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.

Grace!

Grace!

Hi Irene.

Mhm. We have company.

She was locked in the trailer.

But I helped her. She can't swim.

I know you.

She's a snorkeler.

She come out here for the air.

Don't

talk. You like fish?

So, 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 [ __ ] out of me.

Especially someplace I don't belong.

Well, I You

I just came to say thanks.

For

For the mods that you gave me.

Came to my trailer to thank me for mods?

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.

Why?

Come on. Let's get you something dry to

wear.

Hey.

You know those trees in your

neighborhood?

Could have trimmed them in half the time

it took you.

I didn't.

Want to 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 like to know.

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

Come on.

So

What year were you born?

1960. Year of the rat.

Rat?

Says here she's inquisitive.

And thinks too much at the expense of

essentials.

Dayton time?

Uh October 24th, 7:15 in the morning.

Not a moment too soon, just in time for

breakfast.

That's Scorpio.

Year of the dragon.

That's a pretty powerful confluence.

But when I opened up my eyes

Do you always have an overdose like

this?

Well, I figure let's say I got a $50,000

a year job. But 15,000 of that cuz right

off the top the taxes.

Then I got a place to live, so I figure

a thousand

dollars off that. A mortgage payment or

And loan on the guy with the car.

All right, another 400, 500 off of that.

Gas, food, electricity.

I mean 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 luck.

Bye.

Getting on a what now?

No.

Ever been to Jellystone?

No.

Ever been to Funkytown?

No.

Ever been to Hong Kong? No, I haven't.

Ever been to a Chinese restaurant?

No.

Have you ever been to a Chinese locker?

Where is everyone?

Outside.

Great.

Are you sure?

Glad you stayed.

Wait, wait.

Please, hon. Wait.

You want that?

It was awesome.

Bye, Mom.

Bye, honey. I'll try again in a couple

of hours.

Hey.

You better be careful.

Mister, I'm a married woman.

Christmas trees.

Breakfast in bed.

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.

I don't know if it comes off.

How does it feel without it?

I feel naked.

His name is now.

As in

now.

You want to meet him?

He's a friend of mine.

He's pretty sexy.

I think you might like it.

You can pretend all you want.

It's night.

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.

Why?

What?

He says you have summer fire in your

hair and winter oceans in your eyes.

Thank you.

He's always been a little over the top.

Want to live LIKE BEFORE? LET'S FIGHT.

I work to work when I want to work.

I

sleep when I want to sleep.

I eat when I want to eat. I [ __ ] when I

WHAT THE [ __ ] IS IT?

BE QUIET FOR MORE THAN you make up to

do.

Say from where.

Say from where.

When you young, you have all those crazy

ideas. What is important to you like?

All my best friend, Viv, and I could

think about was the sky in this band.

We were 15 when we came to town.

Snuck over to her house late that night.

And we went in.

Pushed our way through that crack right

up to her front next door.

Then he noticed me.

Try not to make a mistake.

Next thing I knew I was on the bus with

him and the band and

I should have known better.

Deserved exactly what happened to me.

Deserved exactly what happened to me.

My parents came.

Next day the whole town

was talking about me.

My parents took me out of school.

And we moved away the next week.

Just pretend it never happened.

It was never mentioned again.

Please,

take me with you.

As much as I want to take you with me,

you got to go home.

You got to go home.

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

Karen,

you know, it's really simple.

All right, all you got to do when he

comes in, you say, "Hi, honey.

Did you catch any fish?"

That simple.

Okay, you want to 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. You know, your kid will run into

your arms, you'll hug him,

and

smell the way kids smell,

and you'll know instantly you made the

right decision.

You know, right now you don't think you

do, but

there you go.

I know.

You know, cuz my mother would have left

my father a long time ago.

It's not that she didn't love him. It's

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

I mean, everyday life and romance are

not necessarily compatible, if you know

what I mean.

There's family.

When it's said and done, that's that's

all you got. That's it.

People caring for each other, people

growing together, people staying

together.

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 coming down with something, so we're

coming home tonight. Bye.

So, they're coming home early.

I guess we 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. All right, you

turn on the shower, and if he's knocking

on the door, you tell him you're sick,

right? You tell him you got the stomach

flu or something. You got the shower and

the flushing going at the same time.

He's very confused and you move between

the the flushing of the toilets

and the [ __ ] This is a stupid plan. This

is

Say something.

All right, anything. Jesus.

You got to practice. You got to practice

talking, you know? You're going to need

to talk pretty soon. You got to work up

those vocal chords, all right?

So, let's

Okay, plan B.

So, there we go to you go to your

girlfriend's house. Every woman's got a

girlfriend, haven't they? So, you go to

your girlfriend's house, she'll fix you

up, she'll give you some shoes, some

makeup. Yeah,

some clothes. You're good as new. You

look like 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, Irene.

Hi, honey.

Did you catch any fish?

Come on, dammit.

"Hi, honey, did you catch any goddamn

fish?"

This is [ __ ]

Say it.

Come on, say it. "Hi, honey. Did you

catch any fish?"

Say something.

Come on.

Come on. "Hi, honey.

Did you catch any fish?"

"Hi, honey, did you catch any fish?"

I'm dead.

What's the code?

What's the code?

1223.

Please leave a message after the beep.

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

Are you there?

We've just turned off the 101 and we

should be home in about 10 to 15

minutes.

Where are you? I've been calling you all

day.

I can't handle this.

Yes, you can.

No, I never told him anything about him.

Don't you listen. People don't fall in

love with people because of their past.

They fall in love with people for who

they are. Now, get up.

Come on. "Hi, honey, did you catch any

fish?"

All right.

All right, we're in.

Okay, sit right down there. We're going

to wash your face, but you don't move.

Don't you move.

You just stay right there.

Come on.

Wash your face. I got to get you

dressed.

What are you? A spring or you're not?

Hot. Good. Now, remember,

big smile. "Hi, honey.

Did you catch any fish?" I can't go

through with this.

Of course you can. Come on, it's easy.

It's simple. It's a piece of cake.

There we go.

Oh, [ __ ] underwear.

Hey.

A lot of people get swept up in

situations they feel they can't control.

Personally,

I think people let themselves get swept

away.

There's something they got to learn

about themselves.

What you got to do

is have the strength

to deal with what happens

and courage

to face the consequences.

You got something precious to hold on to

here.

You hear me? You got something precious

to hold on to. Now, you hold on to it.

Hold on.

Take me with you.

We're just going to take it one step

at a time.

I don't know, maybe you're going to tell

your husband right now, maybe you will

not, but you're going to go downstairs

and you're going to kiss that man.

You're going to say, "Hi, honey, did you

catch any fish?"

No.

Come on, no.

I'm dead.

No.

NO.

NO.

WHY?

WHY?

WHY?

IRENE.

IRENE.

IRENE.

IRENE.

HI, HONEY.

Just in good time.

Yeah.

Yes.

Did you catch any fish?

No.

No.

Why don't you just go to your car?

Okay.

All right, night.

Jim.
