(alarm clock)

Christian: Excuse me.

Hi, I'm Christian Nygaard.

I'm staying right next door.

Julie: Julie Wagner.

Christian: Would you mind moving to another room?

Julie: Excuse me?

Christian: It's just I've been out here

a couple of weeks already,

and I kind of settled in.

You've just arrived,

so I figured it wouldn't be a big deal

for you to change.

Julie: It's-

Christian: This way I wouldn't be

disturbing you and vice versa.

Julie: No, no, you don't understand.

I own it, with my husband.

We have all of our stuff in there.

Besides, I'm here to work anyway.

Christian: So there's no chance of you-

Julie: Yeah, none.

But if it's bothering you, feel free to move.

Christian: Thanks. Sorry to have bothered you.

Julie: Oh shit.

(toilet flushes)

(light music)

Look, I'm sorry I acted like such a brat.

Josh: It's okay, I'm used to it.

Julie: I don't know what's

been going on with me lately.

Josh: Maybe you should have stayed home

and gotten some rest.

Julie: Oh yeah, like I can rest at home?

I'm always running around like a lunatic.

Are you on the computer?

Josh: No.

Julie: You're doing it again.

Josh: I'm sorry. I'm just, are you okay?

(scoffs)

(keyboard music)

(phone rings)

Julie: Hey honey.

Josh: The doctor's office called me.

They've been trying to reach you.

(crunch)

Julie: Agh.

Josh: Are you okay?

Julie: Yeah, agh, I'll call you back.

Agh.

(wind howling)

Oh, perfect.

Christian: You're leaving?

Julie: Yeah.

Christian: Well let me help you.

Julie: All the faster you're

getting me out of here, huh?

Christian: Come on, please, let me take the bag.

Julie: I'm fine, thank you.

Christian: Come on.

Perhaps you shouldn't be driving right now.

Julie: What do you care?

Christian: Well, if it's a sprain,

you should probably keep it elevated.

Julie:(laughs) What are you, a doctor now?

What the fuck!

Oh.

Wait.

Will you help me back up the stairs?

Oh god. (breathing heavy)

Christian: If you're okay, I need to get a candle.

Julie: I probably have an extra one.

Christian: I don't want to impose, that's fine.

Unless you can tell me where to get it.

Julie: You're never going to find it.

Here, come here.

Right here.

Christian: Here?

Julie: Yeah.

Here, hold this.

Christian: What?

Julie: Hold this.

My husband is a pack rat.

Christian: Look,

I can go to the drug store if you want me to.

It's fine.

Julie: No, I know it's in here somewhere.

Ah hah!

Christian: What on earth

would possess a person to buy that?

Julie: This is what they carry in the drug store.

Christian: That's perfect.

Julie: Here, hold this.

And then I'll light, yeah.

Christian: You have any matches?

Julie: Uh.

Christian: Oh.

Thanks for the supplies.

Julie: You know, I'm not some helpless female,

despite what you think.

Christian: I'm beginning to get that.

Julie: Are you hungry?

Christian: I was just going to go into town.

Julie: Yeah, well I have all this food,

so, you know, it's going to go bad.

What are you working on?

Christian: A drama with music.

Julie: Oh.

Christian: I don't like to talk about my work.

Julie: Well whatever it is, I like it.

Christian: What are you working on?

Julie: It's a new series for a show,

kind of capturing the beach after the tourists leave.

Christian: That's why you were

on the beach by the driftwood?

Julie: Yeah. I pitched it to my gallerist,

but I'm not really happy with what I'm getting.

Christian: Do you want to pack this stuff up

or throw it out?

Julie: Wait a minute, you were at the beach?

Did you see me fall?

Christian: I'm going to pack it up in case you want to-

Julie: It's fine, just-

Christian: No, no, no. Listen, I'll just-

Julie: You know what? It's fine. Just go.

God-

Christian: I'm sorry. I thought,

if you were having a difficult time,

you might want to leave.

Julie: Well your plan worked just a little too well.

I actually did hurt my ankle,

and the lights go out.

I can't get a hold of my husband,

and the only person around is you.

And, to top it all off, I'm pregnant.

Christian: Whoa.

Julie: Yeah, whoa.

Christian: That's the last of it.

I have a lot of work to do,

so I'm going to get going.

But thanks for dinner.

Julie: Wait, can you just hand me my computer?

That's what I'm working on.

Christian: May I?

Julie: Yeah, sure.

Christian: These are really good, technically.

Julie: But?

Christian: Sorry?

Julie: There's a but in that statement.

These are really good technically, but.

Christian: Well they seem superficial.

What's your connection to this one?

Julie: You know what?

I don't need that kind of help.

Christian: Anyway, thank you for the food.

Julie: You're welcome.

Christian: I'll be next door if you need me.

Julie: You know what?

I could use your help tomorrow.

I have to go to Camp Hero tomorrow to shoot,

so I could use someone to carry my bags.

Christian: All day?

Julie: Well as long as we could last in the cold.

Christian: I have a lot of work to do, so...

(phone rings)

Julie: Hey honey.

Josh: Jules, where you been?

I've been trying to reach you.

Julie: I'm sorry, it's just been a horrible night.

There's been a blackout,

and I tried calling you earlier, but the line was dead.

Josh: You want me to come get you?

Julie: No, I'm just complaining.

Josh: Yeah, but I don't like it. You're there alone.

What if something happens to you?

Who's going to know?

Julie: Oh trust me,

Mr. Cheerful from next door will know.

He'll probably be throwing a party or something.

(slow, upbeat music)

Christian: Let me know when you...

Julie: In a few minutes?

Christian: Now?

Julie: Mm-hmm.

Christian: Okay.

Ankle's okay?

Julie: Fine, great.

(gentle piano music)

Want lunch?

Christian: What did you bring?

Julie: Ham and cheese.

Christian:(laughs) That's it?

No lettuce, tomato, mayo, mustard?

Julie: Picky.

Christian:(laughs) All the time.

Julie: Do you think you could help me out tomorrow?

Christian: Look, I've got my own work to do.

Julie: Yeah, you're right.

Christian: What time?

Julie:10 o'clock?

(medium-tempo music)

Sophia: Good morning sunshine.

Christian: Hey Sophie.

Sophia: I'll go change your room.

Christian: No, that's okay.

(knock, knock)

You okay?

Julie: Would you consider...

Christian: You won't know if you don't ask.

Julie: Would you pose for me?

Christian: You know,

I'm more a behind the scenes kind of person.

Julie: It would just be your hands and your arms,

things like that.

People won't even know it's you.

Now pick your left arm a little bit up.

A little higher there.

Christian: Like this?

Julie: Yeah, good.

(gentle music)

Christian: Right here?

Julie: Yeah.

There, get that.

Christian: Is it good?

What?

Julie: Will you take your shirt off?

Christian: Sure.

Julie: Okay, I got it.

Now put that arm up there,

Christian: Okay.

Julie: like that.

Then this one here, hold it like, there.

Here, you're going to freeze.

Christian: No, I'm Scandinavian. We're used to it.

Thanks.

Didn't like your soup?

Julie: No, it's good.

(phone ringing)

Recording: Hi, this is Julie, leave a message.

(both laughing)

Julie: That's funny.

Christian: I know.

I don't want to go back either.

Josh: Surprise!

Julie: Josh! Honey, this is Christian.

Christian, this is my husband, Josh.

Christian: Nice to meet you.

Josh: And who are you?

Christian: I'm the- Julie: He's the guy staying next door.

Remember, I told you about him?

He's been helping me out.

Josh: Okay. Well, come in, It's freezing out there.

Christian: I'm staying here while

I renovate my new house.

Julie: Really?

Christian: Yeah. My contractor, he keeps screwing up.

Last week he put in the wrong sink.

He had to rip up the whole thing and start over.

Josh: So how exactly are you helping my wife?

Christian: I started by carrying your stuff.

Julie: Yeah, and today he was my guinea pig.

We did some shots with body parts,

and I got some really interesting stuff.

Josh: I thought you said he was a jerk.

Julie: No, he's okay once you get to know him.

Josh: Do you?

Julie: What?

Josh: Know him.

Julie: Come on, Josh.

Could you be happy just like this, just us?

Josh: Could you?

Julie: Yeah. I could.

Carmen likes my work and, if the show takes off,

then I won't have to do weddings any more.

Josh: Yeah, Jules, I could be happy.

Julie: Well I'm really glad to hear you say that,

because I'm pregnant.

Josh: What?

Jules, are you serious?

You're pregnant?

Oh my god, that's great.

Hey, what?

What's wrong?

Is there something wrong with the baby?

Julie: No, not that I know of.

I don't, I don't think I want it.

I'm finally getting a chance to

do what I've always wanted.

Josh: Julie, please be reasonable, okay?

This is just too important.

Don't.

I'm just...

Talk to me first before you make any decisions.

(waves crashing)

Christian: Julie.

Julie: Yeah?

Christian: You okay?

Julie: Just leave me alone.

(sad music)

Come on out, I have a peace offering.

Christian: I was crazy about her.

I was doing my last show. I was working all hours,

and I got home one night and-

Julie: Found her with another man?

Christian: It's a cliche, right?

Julie: Your best friend?

Christian: God, no. My auto mechanic.

Julie:(laughs) I'm sorry.

Christian: I'm married now, I have a baby,

and he gets home at 5:30 every night.

Julie: Yeah, that's just what some women want.

Christian: You going to go home?

(light piano music)

(phone ringing)

(crickets chirping)

(phone ringing)

Julie: Move your arm a little higher.

Here, warm up. (laughing)

Years ago, Josh and I came out here.

We were walking along the beach,

and we came upon all these seals

sunbathing everywhere.

It's hit or miss.

It was amazing.

For the first weekend in December,

we usually come out to watch the seals together.

Low tide's usually the best time to catch them.

Christian: So you were half thinking he might...

Julie: Yeah.

Hi Josh, it's me again.

You said not to do anything

without talking to you first,

but I can't talk to you if you don't take my calls.

You need to call me back.

Damn it, Josh.

(phone ringing)

Receptionist: Planned Parenthood, may I help you?

Julie: Sorry, wrong number.

(somber music)

Christian: Do you need me to turn?

Julie: No.

Christian: Okay.

I'm sorry I wasn't good company today.

Christian: No worse than usual.

Julie: You know, you've been great.

Working with you,

Carmen says it's been my best work.

Christian: So I'm not an ass?

You don't want to go down this road.

Julie: Maybe I do.

Maybe it's the one I would have chose.

(tense music)

(knock, knock)

You still want to work with me?

Christian: I'll get my coat.

(tense music)

(knock on door)

Julie: It's a little cold for a picnic.

Christian: Ah come on, Bundle up.

(slow romantic music)

Okay.

Okay, I see a flame.

Julie: Got it, maybe?

Christian: I see a flame.

Okay, it's doing something.

Julie: Okay.

Christian: Hold it, keep it there.

Julie: All right.

Christian: Oh, burn.

Okay, that's one side. Let's see if we can flip it.

Julie: Okay, this way?

Christian: Oh!

Julie: Oh my god, is it working?

Christian: No.

Julie: What do you mean?

Christian: It went out again.

Julie: Ahh. (laughs)

Want me to hold it up?

Christian: Yeah, let's hold it up.

Okay.

Julie: Go up with it? (laughs)

Go!

Christian: Yeah! Julie: Yay!

(laughing)

(both laughing)

Christian: You still see them?

Julie: I don't know.

Christian: It was out there, right?

Julie: I think so.

Thanks for the picnic.

Christian: You're welcome.

This isn't right.

Julie: I don't care.

(heavy breathing)

I want to see your house.

Christian: I don't show it to just anyone, you know.

(phone ringing)

(phone buzzing)

Julie: Hello?

Josh: Hey Jules.

Julie:(gasps) Um.

Josh: It's time for you to come home.

Julie: It's 8 o'clock in the morning.

Josh: Yeah, so?

You've always been an early bird.

Jules, I'm sorry I haven't been returning your calls.

I just needed some time to figure everything out.

Christian: Where does this go?

Josh: Who was that?

Jules, what is that asshole doing there at this hour?

Julie: Josh, I'm sorry. I-

Josh: Jules!

(phone slams)

Christian: Josh?

(knock on door)

Sophia: Oh, I'm sorry. I could come back later.

Julie: It's fine.

(phone ringing)

Receptionist: Planned Parenthood, may I help you?

Julie: I need to make an appointment.

Receptionist: Hold on for a moment please.

Christian: I wish you'd let me take you.

Directions to my house.

Meet me there after?

Julie: I'm not sure how I'll feel.

Christian: Just come, Julie.

(somber music)

Julie: Hey Josh, it's me again.

Thanks for sending the mortgage payment,

it's really helping.

Josh: Is everything okay with the baby?

Julie: This one.

I think this one should be big, like 48x60.

Carolina: Bueno, print it.

Julie: Oh.

Josh: Come on, let me take you home.

You going to be okay?

Julie: Would you stay?

Josh: Yeah.

It's not the same around here, it's not home.

Josh: I don't know, Jules,

how do you get over something like this?

Julie: I don't know.

Josh: You're not going to start crying, are you?

You know how much I can't stand that.

(loud crying)

Julie: Oh.

Josh:[unintelligible]

(child crying) (TV playing)

(seagulls squawking)

Julie: Sure, I can get the key out to you.

Tomorrow? Okay, yeah, I can bring it out.

No, I know I don't have to, but it's okay.

(child crying)

Okay, all right, [unintelligible].

The Royal Atlantic called,

and they said they need to get into our closet.

Josh: Really?

(baby crying)

I'll send them the key tomorrow.

Julie: They need it right away,

so I said I'd take it out to them.

And now [unintelligible].

Josh: All right, if you want to.

Hey you, are you hungry?

Are you hungry? Because daddy's hungry.

Christian: You look good.

Julie: I look tired. I am tired.

I see your musical's doing well.

Christian: Yeah.

Julie: That's great. Congratulations.

Christian: Thanks.

I wanted to see you.

Julie:(crying) I'm sorry, Christian.

You deserve so much better.

I can't seem to stop fucking things up.

(slow, sad music)

(art patrons conversing)

(car starting)
