WATCH YOUR STEP NOW.

HELLO AND WELCOME
TO THE NANCY COBB ARCHER

VISITORS' CENTER
AND HISTORIC LANDMARK.

I'M DONNA.
SINCE IT OPENED,

THIS VISITOR CENTER
HAS ENTERTAINED

AND ENLIGHTENED MORE
THAN 200,000 PEOPLE
SUCH AS YOURSELVES

WHO HAVE COME HERE
TO ACHIEVE

A GREATER UNDERSTANDING

OF THE LIFE OF ONE
SPECIAL AMERICAN WOMAN.

STEP THIS WAY, WON'T YOU?

EVERYBODY COMFY? GOOD.

PLEASE REMAIN SEATED
AT ALL TIMES DURING
THE PRESENTATION.

KEEP YOUR HANDS
ON THE ARMRESTS

AND YOUR FEET
FLAT ON THE FLOOR
IN FRONT OF YOU.

IF YOU EXPERIENCE
DIZZINESS AT ANY TIME
DURING THE PRESENTATION,

SIMPLY LOOK AWAY
FROM THE SCREEN.

AND, PLEASE,
NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY
DURING THE PRESENTATION.

IT'S ANNOYING
AND A COMPLETE
WASTE OF FILM.

OKAY? EVERYBODY SET?

( beep )

How do you do?

My name is Dr. Victor Loeb.

In this modern,
supersonic age,

it sometimes seems
that we have lost

our capacity to be amazed.

Science has rendered
the miraculous commonplace

and we have become smug

in our dominion
over nature itself.

But I am well aware that
there are also among you

the morbidly curious
who have been attracted

by the more
provocative and--

let's not mince words--

lurid aspects of this case.

Well, you will not
be disappointed,

for this is,
I must warn you,

a shocking story,

but it is a story
that must be told.

So now prepare
your minds

for a new scale
of experience.

And remember everything
you are about to see

is absolutely true.

Woman:
MY STORY BEGINS ON A DAY

NOT SO DIFFERENT
FROM ANY OTHER.

I SUPPOSE
IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED
ANYTIME TO ANY WOMAN.

LOOKING BACK NOW,

I REALIZE MOST OF MY DAYS
WERE SMOTHERED IN ROUTINE--

SAFE, PREDICTABLE ROUTINE

THAT FELT SO MUCH
LIKE A LIFE.

WELL, ALL THAT
WAS ABOUT TO CHANGE.

( dials )

Woman:
Cobb Enterprises.

- SYLVIA?
- Yes.

- IT'S MRS. ARCHER.
- Oh, hi.

I'M JUST CALLING TO CONFIRM
DINNER WITH MY FATHER.

Yes, he has it
on his calendar,
Mrs. Archer,

and I reminded him
when he left to meet
with the mayor.

GOOD. CAN I SPEAK
TO MY HUSBAND, PLEASE?

Uh, he's--

I'm afraid he's
not in the office.

OH?

I believe
he mentioned a meeting--

a meeting
out of the office.

DO YOU KNOW
WHEN HE'LL BE BACK?

I don't know,
Mrs. Archer.

He just said he had
a meeting somewhere.

THANKS.

You're welcome,
Mrs. Archer.

- BYE.
- Bye.

( beeps )

OH, HELLO, NANCY.

GOOD MORNING,
MR. INGERSOL.

- HOW ARE YOU?
- FINE. YOURSELF?

FINE, THANKS.

GOOD.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

IT'S NOT GONNA FEEL
THE SAME COMING INTO TOWN,

NOT SEEING YOUR SHOP.

PROGRESS, NANCY.
NOT MUCH ONE MAN
CAN DO TO STOP IT.

BUT I FIGURE
IT'S BEST FOR BUSINESS.

AT LEAST THAT'S THE WAY
YOUR FATHER EXPLAINS IT.

YES, WELL,

MY FATHER'S GOOD
AT EXPLAINING THINGS.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT SHINES BRIGHTER,

YOU OR THAT PENDANT.

( chuckles )

I REMEMBER MAKING IT
FOR YOUR MOTHER.

I'M GLAD
TO SEE YOU WEARING IT.
SHE'D BE PLEASED.

THANK YOU.

WELL, I BETTER GET
BACK TO THE TILL.

- BYE, MR. INGERSOL.
- BYE, NANCY.

Nancy:
I THINK I'VE GOT
A PRETTY GOOD HANDLE

ON MOST OF THE THINGS
IN MY LIFE.

I KNOW THERE ARE
CERTAIN AREAS

WHERE I'M HAVING PROBLEMS,
I ADMIT THAT.

BUT I'M WORKING ON THEM
AND THINGS CAN CHANGE.

PEOPLE CHANGE.

WHEN I CONFRONTED HARRY,
HE SAID HE WOULD STOP,

THAT HE'D END THE AFFAIR.

HAVE THERE BEEN
OTHER AFFAIRS?

THIS IS DIFFERENT.

HE LOVES ME.

HE REALLY DOES.

IT'S NOT EASY BEING MARRIED
TO THE BOSS'S DAUGHTER.

THAT'S WHY
I HAVE TO BE PATIENT,

WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
THAT I MAKE LIFE EASIER.

EASIER FOR WHOM?

HARRY, MY FATHER.

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

WHAT ABOUT ME?

HOW ABOUT MAKING LIFE
EASIER FOR YOURSELF?

- I HAVE TO GO.
- THE HOUR ISN'T UP.

OH, I'M HAVING DINNER
WITH MY FATHER.

HE'S ON A TIGHT SCHEDULE.
HE'S EXPECTING ME.

- ( snaps )
- ( yelps )

NANCY, DO YOU
EVER GET ANGRY?

EVERYBODY GETS ANGRY.

WHAT DO YOU DO
WHEN YOU GET ANGRY?

Dr. Cushing's voice:
NANCY, WHAT DO YOU DO
WHEN YOU GET ANGRY?

Dr. Cushing's voice:
NANCY, WHAT DO YOU DO
WHEN YOU GET ANGRY?

( brief scream )

HARRY!

HARRY, YOU PROMISED!

( horn honking )

HE AIN'T HERE,
MRS. ARCHER.

THAT'S HIS CAR.

MAYBE HE RAN OUT OF GAS
AND HE LEFT IT.

HE DOESN'T CARE
WHO KNOWS.

LET'S CALL IT A NIGHT.

GO HOME.
HAVE SOME COFFEE MAYBE.

I'M NOT DRUNK.

YOU DON'T
HAVE TO BE DRUNK
TO DRINK COFFEE.

IT'S A FREE COUNTRY.

TELL HIM.

THERE IS NOBODY HERE
TO TELL, HONEST.

PLEASE JUST TELL HIM.

( radio playing music )

YOU'RE NOT GONNA LET
A LITTLE THING LIKE THIS

RUIN THE WHOLE NIGHT,
ARE YOU?

THERE COMES A POINT
IN A RELATIONSHIP

WHEN YOU START TO REALIZE
WHAT YOUR PROSPECTS ARE.

WELL, WE HAVE PLATEAUED
AT THE MOTEL LEVEL
OF THINGS, HARRY,

AND THAT IS
NOWHERE NEAR GOOD ENOUGH

FOR MRS. PARKER'S
LITTLE GIRL HONEY.

YOU TAKE
THIS SORT OF THING
WAY TOO PERSONAL.

YOU BET I DO.
I HAVE HAD A LONG TIME

TO FIGURE OUT WOMEN
LIKE THAT-- STUPID, RICH.

I HAVE BEEN
PAINTING THEIR FINGERNAILS
AND WASHING THEIR HAIR

SINCE I WAS 12 YEARS OLD.

- SHIT!
- HONEY--

WHY DO YOU PUT UP
WITH IT, HARRY?

WHY DO YOU MAKE ME
PUT UP WITH IT?

JUST LEAVE, WALK OUT.

SHE DON'T DESERVE YOU
ANYWAY.

I'M NOT LEAVING
TILL I CAN TAKE
A BIG SLICE

OF OLD MAN COBB'S
PIE WITH ME.

SO? COMMUNITY PROPERTY.
DUMP HER.

THE OLD MAN MADE ME
SIGN A PRENUPTIAL.

JESUS.

ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS
FIND THE RIGHT ANGLE,
AND WE'RE SET.

EVERY DAY I GO IN
TO THAT OFFICE,

I FIND OUT WHERE A COUPLE
MORE SKELETONS ARE BURIED.

JUST LEAVE IT
UP TO HARRY.

HARRY'S GOT A HANDLE
ON EVERYTHING.

YOU KNOW WHAT
HER REAL PROBLEM IS?

NANCY?
YEAH, LIKE YOU SAID,

SHE'S SPOILED AND RICH.

MM-MM.

HER REAL PROBLEM IS
SHE ACTUALLY LOVES YOU.

( siren blaring )

HARRY!

HARRY!

HARRY!

JESUS! THIS IS
JUST SO FUCKING
ROMANTIC,

I COULD PUKE!

( police siren )

MRS. ARCHER,
ARE YOU OKAY?

HARRY!

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE,
MRS. ARCHER?

IT WAS OUT THERE.

IT TOUCHED ME.
IT FORCED ME OFF THE ROAD,

AND THEN IT TOUCHED ME
WITH A LIGHT.

WHAT TOUCHED YOU?

I WANT HARRY.
I WANT MY HUSBAND!

DID SOMEBODY TRY
SOMETHING OUT THERE?

IT WAS BIG,

AND IT LIT UP
THE SKY LIKE A--

LIKE A--

LIKE-- YOU'VE GOT
TO BELIEVE ME.

IT WAS THERE. IT--

OVER THE HIGHWAY.

SURE, WE--
WE BELIEVE YOU,
MRS. ARCHER.

IT'S JUST THAT--
WHY DON'T YOU

COME ON AND SIT
IN THE SQUAD CAR

AND TELL US
ALL ABOUT IT,

AND WE'LL GET
YOU A NICE, BIG
CUP OF COFFEE?

I DON'T WANT ANY COFFEE.

WHY IS EVERYONE
ALWAYS TRYING TO POUR
COFFEE IN ME?

( glass breaks,
toilet flushes )

WOMAN HAS TO HAVE A LIMIT.

SHE DON'T GOT A LIMIT,
SHE IS SCREWED FROM
THE GET-GO.

YOU SHOULDN'T LET THINGS
LIKE THIS GET TO YOU.
IT CAUSES WRINKLES.

( scoffs )

( knock on door )

- IT'S HER.
- IT'S NOT HER.

IT IS. IT'S HER.
IT'S HER WITH A GUN AND
AN AX AND A BOTTLE OF ACID.

STRAIGHTEN UP THE BED,
WILL YOU?

OH, JUST EXACTLY
HOW STUPID DO YOU
THINK PEOPLE ARE?

( knock on door )

MR. ARCHER,
IT'S DEPUTY SPOONER.

CAN I HAVE A WORD
WITH YOU, SIR?

EVENING, MR. ARCHER.

DEPUTY.

- HI, HONEY.
- CHARLIE.

CAN I HELP YOU
WITH SOMETHING, DEPUTY?

OH, YEAH. WELL, UM,

I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU HEARD,

BUT WE HAD SOME
COMMOTION OUT THERE.

YOUR WIFE HAD SOME
TROUBLE ON THE ROAD.

WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?

SPACESHIP.

SPACESHIP?

RAN HER
RIGHT OFF THE ROAD.

LEAST THAT'S
WHAT SHE SAID.

SHERIFF'S
TAKING HER BACK OUT
TO LOOK AROUND.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO
THINK ABOUT GETTING
HOME, MR. ARCHER,

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE.

NO CHARGE.
NIGHT, HONEY.

- NIGHT, CHARLIE.
- GOODBYE, DEPUTY.

OH, YEAH. NIGHT.

NANCY SAW A SPACESHIP.

RAN HER OFF THE ROAD.

HEH. SHE CRAZY
OR SOMETHING?

PEOPLE WHO
SEE SPACESHIPS,

THESE ARE NOT
THE KIND OF PEOPLE

WHO YOU WANT MAKING
IMPORTANT DECISIONS,

DECISIONS ABOUT MONEY.

THEY NEED HELP.

YOU'RE THINKING
SOMETHING, AREN'T YOU?

I'M THINKING THAT MAYBE
I OUGHT TO GET HOME

TO MY POOR UNSTABLE WIFE
IN HER TIME OF NEED.

NOW THAT'S MY GIRL.

( squeals )

( laughs )

HERE.

SEE? THIS IS WHERE IT
FORCED ME OFF THE ROAD.

I SEE
THE SKID MARKS,
MRS. ARCHER.

BUT YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME.

LOOK AT IT FROM
MY POINT OF VIEW.

ALL I SEE ARE YOUR TRACKS,
NOTHING ELSE.

WELL, IT NEVER
TOUCHED THE GROUND.

LOOK, YOU'VE GOT
TO BELIEVE ME. I--

- ( rumbling )
- THERE!

WHAT, MRS. ARCHER?

THERE.
CAN'T YOU SEE?

- YEAH, I CAN SEE.
- ( rumbling fades )

WHY'D YOU CALL HIM?

PART OF THE JOB,
MRS. ARCHER.

- SHERIFF.
- MR. COBB.

GET IN THE CAR, NANCY.
I'LL DRIVE YOU HOME.

I WAS JUST
TRYING TO EXPLAIN
TO THE SHERIFF--

GET INTO THE CAR.

THANKS FOR THE CALL,
DENBY.

YES, SIR. YES, SIR.

THERE WON'T BE
ANY TIRESOME PAPERWORK

ABOUT THIS
LITTLE INCIDENT,
WILL THERE?

I THINK THE YOUNG LADY'S
UPSET ENOUGH AS IT IS, SIR.

GOOD NIGHT, SHERIFF.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

A SPACESHIP?

MY GOD, NANCY.

WHY ARE YOU TRYING
TO DESTROY ME?

I SAW IT.

I CUT SHORT A MEETING
WITH THE MAYOR TO HAVE
DINNER WITH YOU.

THE MAYOR, NANCY.

THEN I GET A CALL
FROM THIS FEMALE DEPUTY.

"COME GET
YOUR DAUGHTER,"

YOUR HALLUCINATING
DAUGHTER.

WHY CAN'T YOU ADMIT
FOR ONE SECOND

THAT THERE'S
A CHANCE I MIGHT BE
TELLING THE TRUTH?

IT'S YOUR MOTHER
ALL OVER AGAIN.

I SAW SOMETHING.

YOU SAW NOTHING!

I WILL NOT BE MADE
THE LAUGHINGSTOCK
OF THIS TOWN.

WHAT HAPPENED
TO ALL THE PAPERS
I SIGNED YESTERDAY?

TODAY THERE ARE MORE.

MM-HMM.

GIVE THE GIRL
A BREAK, HAMILTON.

HARRY.

ALL RIGHT, NANCY.
YOU LOOK TIRED.

WHY DON'T YOU
TODDLE OFF TO BED?

YES, FATHER.

- HARRY--
- GO ON UPSTAIRS, BABY.

YOUR DAD AND I
HAVE SOME BUSINESS
TO DISCUSS.

- BUT--
- I'LL BE RIGHT UP.

SO HOW'D YOUR MEETING
GO WITH THE MAYOR?

Hamilton:
I'LL WORRY ABOUT THE MAYOR.

YOU WORRY ABOUT
KEEPING HER IN LINE.

AND FOR GOD'S SAKE
CAN'T YOU COME UP WITH

ANYTHING MORE DISCREET
THAN TONY'S SHANGRI-LA?

I DON'T SEE WHERE
WHAT I DO IS ANY
OF YOUR BUSINESS.

I DON'T CARE
IF YOU CHEAT ON YOUR WIFE,

BUT I WILL NOT PERMIT
YOU TO EMBARRASS ME,
ESPECIALLY NOT NOW

WHEN I'M THIS CLOSE
TO GETTING THE OKAY
FOR THE ZONING SWITCH.

MAKE A WISH.

HARRY.

YOU'RE COLD.

NOT THAT COLD.

WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME?

- NANCY--
- YOU SAID YOU WEREN'T
GONNA SEE HER ANYMORE.

AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS
UP THERE TELLING HER.

I HAD TO TELL HER,
DIDN'T I?

I HAD TO TELL HER
FACE TO FACE,
DIDN'T I?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
I'D DO IF I DIDN'T
HAVE YOU.

WHAT HAPPENED?

WELL, YOU GOT SO INVOLVED
IN DADDY'S BUSINESS--

NO NO NO NO, BABY,
I MEAN TONIGHT.

WHAT HAPPENED OUT
IN THE DESERT?

I DON'T WANT
TO TALK ABOUT IT.

I-- I...

YOU'LL THINK I'M CRAZY.

NOW WHY WOULD I THINK
A THING LIKE THAT?

I SAW SOMETHING

IN THE SKY.

( coyote howls )

- ( owl hoots )
- ( insects chirping )

( gasps )
OH, SHERIFF.

YOU SEEN ANYTHING?

NO NO,
NOTHING TO REPORT.

( shuffling )

Charlie:
HARD LUCK EDDIE.

IT'S HARD LUCK EDDIE.

Sheriff:
EVENING, EDDIE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING
OUT THIS WAY, DENBY?

JUST DOING MY JOB.

EH. WELL, YOU AIN'T
GOT NO CLAIM OUT HERE.

THIS HERE IS MY MOUNTAIN.

YOU SEE ANYTHING
OUT HERE TONIGHT, EDDIE?

LIKE WHAT?

LIKE SOMETHING UNUSUAL.

HEH. THIS HERE'S
THE DESERT, GIRLIE GIRL.

WHAT YOU CALL UNUSUAL
DON'T MEAN MUCH
ROUND HERE.

DID YOU SEE
SOMETHING OR NOT?

I SEEN PLENTY.

I SEEN HAILSTONES
AS BIG AS YOUR HEAD.

I SEEN LIGHTNING
SHOOT OUT THE GROUND
UP INTO THE CLOUDS.

AND I HEARD STUFF TOO.

WHEN THE WIND
GETS TANGLED UP
IN THEM POWER LINES,

IT MAKES
THE WIRES SING

LIKE A CRAZY WOMAN IN LOVE.
( chuckles )

30 YEARS OUT HERE--

EH, AIN'T NOTHING
UNUSUAL TO ME.

THANKS A LOT, EDDIE.

YEAH, DON'T MENTION IT,
SHERIFF.

DON'T MENTION WHAT?

WHAT DO YOU FIGURE
SHE SAW?

WELL, COULD HAVE BEEN
SOME KID IN A HOT ROD

OR JET OR
A HELICOPTER OVER
FROM THE AIR BASE OR...

I SUPPOSE IT COULD
HAVE BEEN SOMETHING ELSE.

LIKE WHAT?
LIKE A SPACESHIP?

SUPPOSE IT WAS
A REAL SPACESHIP SHE SAW,

A GENUINE FLYING SAUCER.

I SAW PICTURES OF ONE
IN "LIFE" MAGAZINE

ALL LIT UP
LIKE A FERRIS WHEEL.

WOULDN'T THAT BE SOMETHING,

A REAL SPACESHIP
LANDING RIGHT HERE?

DO YOU KNOW
WHAT THAT'D MEAN?

I SURE DO.

OVERTIME--

WHOLE LOT
OF OVERTIME.

Sports announcer:
And the 3-2 pitch.
Rodriguez swings.

- ( knock on door )
- Line drive.

Still cutting and...

WHO IS IT?

( knocks "shave
and a haircut" )

WELL, THOSE GLASSES
ARE NEW.

I LIKE THEM.

"PRINCIPLES OF ACCOUNTING
AND MANAGEMENT"?

THAT'S NEW TOO.

A GIRL'S GOTTA PLAN
FOR THE FUTURE.

YOU DON'T HAVE
ANY FUTURE.

YOU CAN TAKE
NIGHT COURSES FROM NOW
TILL YOU STOP BEING PRETTY,

AND YOU STILL
WON'T HAVE ANY FUTURE,
NOT WITH HARRY ARCHER.

WELL, MAYBE THAT'S NOT
THE WAY I SEE IT.

YOU DON'T SEE
ANYTHING PAST THE END

OF THAT BEAUTIFUL
LITTLE NOSE I PAID F--

HARRY ONLY WANTS
WHAT I WANT.

HE DOESN'T HAVE
THE IMAGINATION TO
WANT ANYTHING ELSE.

HE DOESN'T LOVE YOU.
HE HATES ME.

YOU TALKED
TO HER LIKE THIS,
DIDN'T YOU?

CHIP CHIP,
CHIPPING AWAY,

MAKING HER FEEL
SMALLER AND SMALLER.

HEH. THIS IS
HOW YOU TALKED
TO YOUR WIFE,

AND THIS IS HOW
YOU TALK TO YOUR
DAUGHTER, ISN'T IT?

IT'S ONE THING
TO BE SMART.

IT'S ANOTHER THING
TO BE SMART ALL THE WAY
AROUND THE BLOCK.

YOU'VE STILL
GOT A WAY TO GO.

IS THERE ANYTHING
IN PARTICULAR
YOU WANT?

YES, I'VE, UH--

WELL,
I'M ANTICIPATING
SOME CHANGES.

ONCE I TAKE CARE
OF THE MAYOR

AND THE BOYS
ON THE COUNCIL,

THINGS ARE GONNA
MOVE PRETTY QUICKLY.

SO?

SO A WORD TO THE WISE--
DON'T GET IN THE WAY.

WHAT COULD I DO?

( coughs )
YOU?

NOTHING.

BUT HARRY MIGHT
TRY SOMETHING.

HE CAN'T STOP ME,

BUT HE CAN
INTERFERE WITH ME.

YOU TELL HIM
TO KEEP HIS HEAD DOWN

AND HIS UNINSPIRED
THOUGHTS TO HIMSELF.

WHY DON'T YOU
TELL HIM YOURSELF?

I ALREADY HAVE,
BUT YOU GET MORE OF HIS
ATTENTION THAN I DO.

( sighs )
ANYTHING ELSE?

I HAVE AN EMERGENCY
SET OF TIPS TO DO.

YOU TAKE CARE OF HIM,
AND THERE MIGHT BE

A COUPLE OF BUCKS IN IT
FOR YOU DOWN THE LINE.

WHO KNOWS? A WORD
IN THE OWNER'S EAR,

YOU COULD BE PROMOTED
TO THE FIRST CHAIR.

( sarcastic gasp )

MAYBE I WANT
MORE THAN FIRST CHAIR
AND A COUPLE OF LOUSY BUCKS.

DON'T WANT
MORE THAN YOU GOT
COMING TO YOU.

YOU'LL END UP
WITH NOTHING AT ALL.

( birds chirping )

I SUPPOSE
IT'S ALL OVER TOWN.

WHAT IS?

LAST NIGHT'S FIASCO.

WHAT EXACTLY
HAPPENED LAST NIGHT?

YOU LIKE THE GARDEN?

I TRY TO KEEP IT AS NICE
AS MY MOTHER DID,

BUT IT'S HARD.
I DON'T KNOW HOW
SHE MANAGED.

IT'S A GIFT,
I SUPPOSE.

HARRY TOLD ME
YOU HAD AN EXPERIENCE
LAST NIGHT.

AN EXPERIENCE IS
A NICE GENERIC TERM,

ACCURATE WITHOUT
ANY MESSY DETAILS.

I LIKE DETAILS.

ASK HARRY
OR MY FATHER
OR THE SHERIFF.

I'M ASKING YOU.

IF I TELL YOU,
YOU'LL JUST GET
THE FACE.

THE FACE?

THE "POOR NANCY" FACE.

( chuckles )

I'VE HAD
JUST ABOUT AS MUCH
OF THAT AS I CAN TAKE.

WELL, I'M A PRETTY GOOD
POKER PLAYER.

WHY DON'T YOU
GIVE IT A TRY?

I SAW SOMETHING

IN THE SKY.

A SPACESHIP.

YES?

( sighs )

IS THIS
HOW IT STARTED
WITH MY MOTHER?

NANCY, YOU'RE NOT
YOUR MOTHER.

BUT IS THIS
HOW IT STARTED?

I MEAN,
SEEING THINGS,
ACTING CRAZY?

THERE'S
A BIG DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN ACTING CRAZY
AND BEING CRAZY.

DO YOU BELIEVE
I SAW SOMETHING?

DON'T SAY THAT
YOU BELIEVE I BELIEVE
I SAW SOMETHING.

YOU ALWAYS CALL ME ON IT
WHEN I TRY TO SQUIRM OUT
OF ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS.

NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

DO YOU BELIEVE ME?

YES.

THOUGHT YOU'D GET AWAY
WITHOUT SEEING ME?

NANCY TOLD YOU
ABOUT HER LITTLE
CLOSE ENCOUNTER?

JUST WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO SAY, MR. ARCHER?

THAT SHE'S INSANE
BECAUSE SHE SAW A U.F.O.?
THAT SHE'S INCOMPETENT?

MAYBE IT RUNS
IN THE FAMILY--

LIKE MOTHER,
LIKE DAUGHTER.

I'M LATE FOR A MEETING.

I CAN'T HELP
BUT THINK THAT UNDER
THE CIRCUMSTANCES,

IT WOULD BE BETTER
IF NANCY WERE TO SPEND
A LITTLE TIME,

YOU KNOW,
INSIDE SOME PLACE.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT
MEN LIKE YOU

VANISHED WITH THE DINOSAUR
AND THE WOOLY MAMMOTH,

BUT HERE YOU ARE,
BIG AS LIFE. AMAZING.

IS THAT
A SCIENTIFIC OPINION?

IT'S A VERY UNSCIENTIFIC,
VERY FEMALE OPINION.

EXCUSE ME.

WHY'D YOU CALL
DR. CUSHING?

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT
WANNA TALK THINGS OUT.

I WAS WORRIED
ABOUT YOU.

YOU THINK I'M CRAZY.

WELL, YOU HAVE TO ADMIT
THAT'S QUITE A STORY
YOU'VE GOT THERE.

IT'S TRUE.

GREAT.

YOU MIGHT WANNA THINK
ABOUT GETTING AWAY.

GET SOME REST.

A SANITARIUM,
LIKE MY MOTHER.

IT MIGHT BE
JUST WHAT YOU NEED.

WHAT I NEED IS
A LITTLE PROOF
OF WHAT I SAW.

I JUST WISH I COULD MAKE YOU
GO OUT THERE SO YOU COULD
SEE FOR YOURSELF.

AND IF I DON'T
SEE ANYTHING?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I'LL GO
OUT THERE WITH YOU
TO TRY TO FIND THIS THING,

AND IF WE FIND IT
OR ANY PART OF IT,

YOU'LL GET A PUBLIC
APOLOGY FROM ME,
YOUR FATHER,

THE SHERIFF,
EVERYONE, BUT...

BUT?

IF WE DON'T
FIND ANYTHING,

YOU PROMISE
TO SIGN YOURSELF UP

FOR A LITTLE SUPERVISED
RELAXATION.

I SAW SOMETHING.

( sighs )

I'LL DRIVE.

ANY PARTICULAR
SEARCH PATTERN IN MIND,

OR YOU JUST WANNA
POKE AROUND BETWEEN HERE
AND THE PACIFIC OCEAN?

ONCE WE'RE THROUGH TOWN,
WE'LL GO INTO THE HILLS.

THEN WE'LL TAKE
THE LONG WAY

BACK TO THE HOUSE
ON THE OLD COUNTRY ROAD.

AND IF WE DON'T
SEE ANYTHING?

THEN WE'LL DO IT
ALL OVER AGAIN.

Charlie:
IT'S MR. AND MRS. ARCHER.

YOU FIGURE
THEY PATCHED THINGS UP?

- ( static )
- ( announcer indistinct )

( music playing )

( music continues )

( power lines humming )

( music continues )

( music stops )

GETTING LATE.

AM I SUPPOSED
TO JUST GO QUIETLY?

COME ON, I'LL TAKE
YOU TO DINNER.

YOU WANNA STAY OUT HERE
WITH THE SCORPIONS
ALL NIGHT?

LOOK, NANCY,
I DON'T KNOW WHAT
WENT WRONG, BUT--

- ( electricity crackles )
- ( radio music resumes )

WHAT THE HELL IS
WRONG WITH THAT THING?

( rumbling )

THERE.
I TOLD YOU.

- LOOK AT IT.
- ( radio stops )

I SEE IT.

IT'S REAL.

YOU DIDN'T BELIEVE ME.
NOBODY BELIEVED ME,
BUT IT'S REAL!

SHH! JESUS CHRIST!
SHH! YOU WANT IT
TO SEE US?

WHO CARES?
AS LONG AS YOU SEE IT.

( laughing )

WAIT UNTIL MY FATHER
HEARS ABOUT THIS.

HARRY?

SHIT!

HARRY.

- ( sharp boom )
- HARRY.

- HELP ME.
- ( sharp boom )

HARRY, DON'T LEAVE ME.

( swishing )

( woman vocalizing )

( vocalizing stops )

( creaking )

( creaking continues )

( creaking stops )

( door creaks )

HONEY.

DID YOUR MOTHER
CALL YOU THAT?

OR WAS IT
SOMEBODY ELSE?

MRS. ARCHER?

IT'S A SWEET NAME.

IT SUITS YOU.

( laughs )
YOU MUST BE VERY SWEET

TO HAVE
SUCH A SWEET NAME.

YOU AND I
SHOULD TALK.

WE COULD HAVE LUNCH.
DO YOU EAT?

HOW'D YOU GET UP HERE?

AH.

SHH.
IT'S OUR SECRET.

BAGGAGE.

WHY DO I ALWAYS
FALL FOR GUYS

WITH SO MUCH BAGGAGE?

COME ON.

LET'S GET YOU
SOME COFFEE.
COME ON.

- ( mutters )
- COME ON. LET'S GO.

Harry: YOU'RE PARANOID,
OLD MAN. I THINK THE STRESS
IS GETTING TO YOU.

Hamilton:
IS THAT THE SORT OF LINE
YOU'VE BEEN FEEDING HER?

- YOU'RE AN AMATEUR.
- I DON'T KNOW. I'VE HAD
A PRETTY GOOD TEACHER.

- ( knocks on door )
- GET OUT!

( sighs )
I'M SORRY, DOCTOR.

- SHE'S RESTING.
- Hamilton: OH?

YES, GOOD. RESTING.

SHE STILL DOESN'T
REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED
TO HER, DOES SHE?

NO, BUT IT'LL
COME BACK
TO HER.

IT WILL?

THAT'S
HOW HYSTERICAL
AMNESIA WORKS.

IT BURNS OFF A LITTLE
AT A TIME LIKE A FOG.

Hamilton:
AND THEN SHE'LL BE ABLE
TO TELL US EVERYTHING.

WELL, PHYSICALLY
SHE'S ALL RIGHT,

BUT I DO WANT TO TALK
TO THE EMERGENCY
ROOM DOCTOR

- ABOUT HER BLOOD TESTS.
- THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG?

I DON'T THINK SO,

BUT THE HORMONE LEVELS
INDICATE THAT THE TESTS
WERE RUN IMPROPERLY.

BUT SHE'S ALL RIGHT.
I MEAN, YOU SAID THAT.

SHE'S NOT TALKING
ABOUT, UH, SEEING THINGS

OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD
INDICATE SHE HAS ANY KIND
OF, YOU KNOW, PROBLEMS?

LIKE A BREAKDOWN.

CAN YOU CONCEIVE
OF KEEPING YOUR MOUTH
SHUT FOR FIVE MINUTES?

YOU DON'T CARE
ABOUT HER CONDITION,

AS LONG AS SHE CAN STILL
SIGN YOUR PAPERS SO YOU CAN
KEEP THE MONEY MOVING AROUND.

- NANCY?
- DR. CUSHING,

COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME
A RIDE BACK INTO TOWN?

GO ON BACK UPSTAIRS,
NANCY.

YOU NEED YOUR REST.

I NEED TO GET AWAY
FROM HERE.

EVERYBODY HERE
THINKS I'M CRAZY.

WELL, I'M NOT CRAZY.

OF COURSE
YOU'RE NOT, BABY.

IF YOU WANT
TO GET OUT OF HERE,
THAT'S FINE.

I'LL TAKE YOU
WHEREVER YOU WANT TO GO.

I'M NOT GONNA LET YOU
SPIRIT HER AWAY

BEFORE SHE CAN
TELL US WHAT YOU
TRIED TO DO TO HER

- IN THE DESERT.
- Nancy: PLEASE.

SHE'S GOING TO TELL ME
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED,
AREN'T YOU, NANCY?

- I DON'T
REMEMBER ANYTHING.
- YOU SEE?

DON'T TRY
TO FORCE HER TO LIE
FOR YOU, HARRY.

PLEASE, DON'T FIGHT.

DON'T WORRY, NANCY.
I CAN HANDLE HIM.

LIKE YOU HANDLED
HER MOTHER?

YOU REALLY DON'T KNOW
WHEN TO SHUT UP, DO YOU?

YOU WENT
THROUGH HER MONEY
LIKE IT WAS YOURS

AND ENDED UP
MAKING HER LIFE
SO MISERABLE

THERE WASN'T
ANYTHING LEFT
FOR HER TO DO

EXCEPT KILL HERSELF!

- NO, STOP IT!
- STAY OUT OF THIS!

- NOT NOW, NANCY.
- SHUT UP!

SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

DON'T YOU TALK
ABOUT MY MOTHER THAT WAY!

AND DON'T TALK
ABOUT ME THAT WAY!

I AM HERE!
I AM IN THIS ROOM!

I AM-- I'M A PERSON!
I AM NOT A CHAIR

OR A-- OR A...

- HARRY.
- WHAT IS IT, BABY?

- GET AWAY FROM HER.
- YOU GET AWAY FROM HER.

GENTLEMEN.

DR. CUSHING,
WHAT'S HAPPENING
TO ME?

HARRY.

Nancy:
HARRY!

( horse neighs )

DR. CUSHING, I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET A COLLEAGUE,
DR. VICTOR LOEB.

DOCTOR.

I WARNED YOU ABOUT
BRINGING IN ANYONE
FROM THE OUTSIDE.

- Harry: DR. CUSHING...
- NANCY'S CONDITION--

...YOU MAY BE ABLE TO SEE
TO HER MENTAL CONDITION,

BUT YOU'RE NOT QUALIFIED

TO LOOK AFTER HER
PHYSICAL WELL-BEING.

DR. LOEB IS.

( horse neighs )

COME WITH ME, DOCTOR.

I'LL JUST WAIT OUT HERE.

I'M AFRAID HARRY
WASN'T VERY SPECIFIC
WHEN HE PHONED.

JUST WHAT IS
MRS. ARCHER'S CONDITION?

UNIQUE.

DON'T MAKE
ANY SUDDEN MOVES.

NANCY, I'D LIKE YOU
TO MEET DR. LOEB.

HE'S HERE
TO HELP YOU.

DR. LOEB, I'D
LIKE YOU TO MEET
NANCY ARCHER.

- MY GOD.
- DOCTOR.

THIS IS
IMPOSSIBLE.

WELL, THAT CERTAINLY
TAKES A LOAD OFF MY MIND.

I THOUGHT
I HAD A PROBLEM.

24 HOURS AGO, SHE WAS
A NORMAL-SIZED WOMAN.

NOTE THE HORMONE LEVELS.

THE LEVELS
ARE ANOMALOUS,

BUT THEY COULDN'T
ACCOUNT FOR THAT.

I'M NOT A THAT.

OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT.

I DON'T CARE WHAT CAUSED IT.
I JUST WANT SOMEONE
TO FIX IT.

WE MUST GET
HER TO A CONTROLLED
THERAPEUTIC ENVIRONMENT.

I HAVE A PRIVATE CLINIC.
IT'S VERY SECLUDED.

THAT'S WHY HARRY--

SANITARIUM?
NO, I'M STAYING HERE.

MRS. ARCHER, NANCY,
DON'T YOU WANT
THE SECURITY?

I'M STAYING HERE.

- ( horse neighs )
- ( chickens cluck )

YES, I THINK
HOME TREATMENT

WOULD BE LESS STRESSFUL
FOR EVERYONE.

AND YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WORRY ABOUT THE MONEY.

ANYTHING YOU
WANT, YOU CAN HAVE.
JUST ASK MY FATHER.

( music playing )

( rattling )

Man:
NO, JUST MOVE THOSE
TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK,

AND I'LL PULL 'EM OFF.

Second man:
ALL RIGHT.

Harry:
YOU WERE SUPPOSED
TO GET HER

INTO THAT SANITARIUM
OF YOURS.

THAT'S WHY
I CALLED YOU.

SHE DIDN'T WANNA GO.

YOU SHOULD HAVE
TALKED HER INTO IT.

UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES,
HARRY,

ANY ARGUMENT WITH NANCY
WOULD BE VERY ONE-SIDED.

WHAT MADE HER
GROW LIKE THAT?

YOU SAID SHE BEGAN
TO GROW AFTER
BECOMING AGITATED.

CLEARLY
IT'S STRESS-RELATED.

THE BLOOD LEVELS
INDICATE SOME KIND
OF HORMONAL IMBALANCE.

TERRIFIC.
YOU'VE DISCOVERED
A NEW KIND OF P.M.S.

THE SITUATION
IS SERIOUS, HARRY.

YOU TELLING ME?

THE HUMAN BODY WASN'T
DESIGNED TO GROW
THAT LARGE.

I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT THE STRAIN.

YOU MEAN LIKE
ON HER HEART.

SHE COULD HAVE
A HEART ATTACK.

HARRY, TRY TO UNDERSTAND.

RIGHT NOW YOUR WIFE
HAS THE BLOOD PRESSURE
OF AN ADULT GIRAFFE.

IT'S ALL BOILERPLATE,
NANCY!

YOU DON'T HAVE
TO LOOK AT THEM.

HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO SIGN THESE?

YOU DON'T HAVE TO.

YOU USE THE PAINT
TO SIGN THE CARDBOARD.

THEN I TAKE
YOUR SIGNATURE,

AND I REDUCE IT
AND PUT IT ON
THE DOCUMENTS.

NOW I'VE SPOKEN
TO THE LAWYERS
ABOUT IT,

AND THEY TELL ME
THAT UNDER THE
CIRCUMSTANCES,

IT'S ESSENTIALLY LEGAL.

- WHA--
- BLOW THEM UP.

- WHAT?
- IF THEY CAN REDUCE
MY SIGNATURE,

THEY CAN ENLARGE
THOSE CONTRACTS.

GET A BILLBOARD PAINTER
OR SOMETHING.

I WANT THAT FINE PRINT
SIX FEET TALL.

WELL, I SIMPLY
WILL NOT HAVE

THE DETAILS
OF MY BUSINESS

PASTED
ON THE SIDE OF A BARN
FOR THE WORLD TO SEE.

THEN YOU'D BETTER FIND
A NEW BUSINESS,

'CAUSE I'M NOT SIGNING THEM
UNTIL I CAN READ THEM.

WELL, YOU'VE HAD
A LONG DAY.

OH, I'M SURE IT'S
BEEN VERY STRESSFUL.

PERHAPS YOU
OUGHT TO, UH--

WELL, PERHAPS
YOU OUGHT TO GO
BACK IN THE, UH--

WELL, I MEAN,
GO BACK IN AND REST.

I LIKE BEING OUT HERE
LOOKING AT THE STARS.

OF COURSE YOU DO.

WE ALL LIKE THE STARS.
THEY'RE VERY PRETTY.

BUT YOU HAVE TO
TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.

- YOU HAVE TO--
- FATHER.

I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL.

NO. NO, YOU'RE NOT.

BUT YOU NEED
YOUR REST.

YOU HAVE TO PROTECT
YOUR STRENGTH

SO THAT THE DOCTORS
CAN MAKE YOU BETTER.

YOU MEAN MAKE ME
LIKE I WAS BEFORE.

YES, JUST AS
YOU WERE BEFORE.

NOW, ISN'T THAT
WHAT WE ALL WANT?

( sighs )
I'LL GO BACK IN THE STABLE...

GOOD.

IN A LITTLE WHILE.

UH, THAT'LL BE FINE.

GOOD NIGHT, FATHER.

GOOD NIGHT, NANCY.

Honey:
JESUS, SHE'S BIG--

I MEAN BIG.

HOW'D SHE GET SO BIG?

SOMETHING IN THAT U.F.O.
BOLLIXED UP HER HORMONES.

OH, BUT I CANNOT
GET OVER HOW BIG SHE IS.

THE DOCTORS THINK
BEING THAT SIZE PUTS
A STRAIN ON HER HEART.

SHE GETS DIZZY.

PROBABLY THE ALTITUDE.

THEY THINK
SHE MIGHT HAVE
A HEART ATTACK.

I DOUBT
THEY'D BE SURPRISED

IF SHE KEELED OVER
LIKE A MIGHTY REDWOOD.

LITTLE STRESS,

SOME ANGER,
SOME AGGRAVATION...

AND TIMBER.

( chuckles )

I DON'T KNOW.

SHE LOOKS
PRETTY HEALTHY TO ME,

BETTER THAN SHE DID
ON THAT ROOF, POOR THING.

DO YOU THINK
WE COULD SELL THE CARCASS
TO RINGLING BROTHERS?

MAYBE YOU SHOULDN'T
TRY TO BE SO FUNNY
ALL THE TIME.

( splashing )

COME AND LOOK
AT THE STARS WITH ME.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

I MEAN, DO YOU FEEL
OKAY OTHERWISE?

MY HEART STARTS BEATING
FASTER THAN NORMAL.

WOULD YOU LIKE
TO FEEL IT?

NO NO, THAT'S OKAY.
I'LL TAKE YOUR WORD
FOR IT.

THE DOCTOR SAID
IT'S ALL RIGHT,

AS LONG AS I DON'T
GET TOO WORKED UP.

THAT'S AN IMPORTANT
THING TO REMEMBER

ABOUT NOT GETTING
TOO WORKED UP.

OTHERWISE,
I FEEL JUST FINE.

GREAT. WELL,
I GUESS I'LL TURN IN.

GOOD NIGHT, NANCY.

I WAS WONDERING
ABOUT SOMETHING.

WONDERING
ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN IF I WERE
TO TELL THE SHERIFF

HOW YOU TOOK ME
OUT TO THE DESERT
AND SIMPLY LEFT ME THERE.

WHAT DO YOU THINK PEOPLE
WOULD MAKE OF THAT?

THAT'S NOT
WHAT HAPPENED.

SUPPOSE THAT'S WHAT
I TELL THEM HAPPENED.

SUPPOSE, FOR ONCE,
PEOPLE BELIEVE ME

INSTEAD
OF SOMEBODY ELSE.

YOU WOULDN'T DO IT.

I KNOW YOU TOO WELL.

YOU DON'T
HAVE THE NERVE.

MAYBE I HAVE CHANGED.

( winces )

( sighs )
GO INSIDE, HARRY.

ARE YOU SURE
YOU'RE ALL RIGHT?

GO INSIDE.

AND DON'T MAKE ANY PLANS
FOR DINNER TOMORROW NIGHT.

YOU AND I HAVE
A LOT TO DISCUSS.
( gasps )

( groans )

( rooster crows )

WILL YOUR FATHER
BE JOINING YOU?

HE HAS A MEETING
WITH THE TOWN COUNCIL.

TONIGHT'S JUST
FOR HARRY AND ME.

DO YOU WANNA CHECK
THE POSITION OF THE TRUCK,

MAKE SURE IT'S
WHERE YOU WANT IT?

IF IT ISN'T,
I'LL MOVE IT MYSELF LATER.

I SUPPOSE YOU COULD.

THE WORLD IS MY DOLLHOUSE,
DR. CUSHING.

YOU SEEM TO HAVE
MADE A CERTAIN

ADJUSTMENT
TO YOUR CONDITION.

I'M NOT SAYING THE OLD
NANCY STILL ISN'T IN ME.

I CAN HEAR HER INSIDE

RATTLING AROUND IN THE DARK,
BUMPING INTO THINGS,

ALWAYS APOLOGIZING,

BUT LESS AND LESS...

LESS AND LESS.

UH, THEY'VE
ALL GONE, NANCY.

WOULD YOU MIND COMING
OUTSIDE FOR A MOMENT?

I'M DUE FOR A STRETCH.

DUE FOR A STRETCH.
( chuckles )

CAN I GIVE YOU
A LIFT?

UH, NO, THANK YOU.

HOW CAN WE GROW
AS WOMEN IF WE CAN'T
TRUST EACH OTHER?

( laughs )

( indistinct
whispering )

DOCTOR, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING?

DOING? I AM
MERELY TAKING A--

( horse neighs )

SO WHAT'S IN THIS
AMAZING COLOSSAL SPIKE?

OH, JUST
A VITAMIN SOUP

WITH A MINERAL
SUPPLEMENT CHASER.

- ( laughs )
- AND?

DOCTOR.

VITAMINS
AND MINERALS,
AS I SAID.

AND?

AND A VERY MILD
TRANQUILIZER.

VALIUM OR THAT STUFF
THEY USE ON RACEHORSES?

THERE'S NO NEED
FOR THIS.

WELL, I DISAGREE.
THE SITUATION IS
DIFFICULT ENOUGH

WITHOUT RUNNING THE RISK
OF ANXIETY ON HER PART.

I HAVE
THE HUSBAND'S
AUTHORITY

AND THE PERMISSION
OF HER FATHER.

WHAT ABOUT
MY PERMISSION?

IT'S REALLY FOR
YOUR OWN GOOD, NANCY.

YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO LOOKS LIKE HE'S
HAVING A LITTLE ANXIETY,

DR. LOEB.

MAYBE YOU NEED THIS
MORE THAN ME.

( laughs )

NANCY.

( horse neighs )

I DON'T LIKE NEEDLES.

NICE TRY.

YOU READY?

( blows )
READY.

GO.

( ticking )

HOW'D I DO?

( laughs )
THAT'S GOOD.

THAT'S GOOD.

GUN OIL-- I LIKE
THE SMELL OF GUN OIL.

YEAH, IT'S A GOOD SMELL.

MY MAMA HATES IT.

SHE DOESN'T THINK
IT'S A LADYLIKE AROMA.

OF COURSE SHE'S
PRETTY MUCH GIVEN UP

TRYING TO MAKE
A LADY OUT OF ME.

SHE THINKS
LAW ENFORCEMENT
IS UNFEMININE.

- MM.
- I TELL HER
IT'S THE ONLY JOB

WITH ANY FUTURE
IN THIS STUBBY
OLD TOWN.

DEPUTY, THIS STUBBY
OLD TOWN PAYS YOUR SALARY.

OH, NO DISRESPECT.

IT'S JUST A WOMAN
DOESN'T HAVE TOO MANY
OPTIONS HERE,

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

YEAH, SUPPOSE I DO.

SHERIFF, HAVE YOU
EVER BEEN IN LOVE?

I'M JUST CURIOUS.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT HOW IT IS WITH
SOMEBODY LIKE MRS. ARCHER,

HER AND MR. ARCHER,
I MEAN.

DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO ME.

THAT'S 'CAUSE IT'S
NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

- HE ISN'T VERY NICE TO HER.
- CHARLIE.

I JUST DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE WAY IT IS,
WOMEN LIKE THAT.

DON'T THEY KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE GETTING INTO?

I MEAN, CAN'T THEY SEE?

YOU KNOW, I FIGURE
IT'S LIKE IT IS WITH
OLD HARD LUCK EDDIE.

THAT OLD PROSPECTOR
WHO'S IN HERE EVERY MONTH

AFTER HE DRINKS UP
HIS GOVERNMENT CHECK.

HE'S BEEN GOING
OUT TO THAT DESERT

FOR AS LONG
AS I CAN REMEMBER

LOOKING FOR GOLD,
LOOKING FOR SILVER,

LOOKING FOR URANIUM,

PUNCHING HOLES
IN THOSE MOUNTAINS

- TILL THEY WHISTLE
IN A WINDSTORM...
- ( snickers )

AND HE ALWAYS
COMES UP EMPTY.

WHY DOES HE DO IT?

'CAUSE IF HE STOPS
LOOKING,

HE'S GOT TO EXPLAIN
TO HIMSELF

WHAT HE'S BEEN DOING
THE LAST 30 YEARS.

IF HE QUITS,
HE MAKES HISSELF
A FOOL FOR TRYING.

BUT SO LONG
AS HE KEEPS GOING,

AT LEAST HE'S GOT HOPE.

MAYBE THE NEXT
CLAIM WILL PAY OFF
OR THE ONE AFTER THAT.

COMES A POINT WHEN
HOPE'S ALL THERE IS,

SO YOU HOLD ON
LONG PAST THE POINT

WHEN COMMON SENSE TELLS YOU
YOU SHOULD LET GO.

YOU CAN GET THAT WAY
WITH PEOPLE TOO.

YOU KEEP ON
GIVING AND GIVING
'CAUSE THEY NEED SO MUCH,

AND THEN MAYBE
IF YOU GIVE A LITTLE MORE,

THEY'LL BE SATISFIED--
MAYBE.

IS THAT LOVE?

NO, CHARLIE.

THAT'S NOT LOVE.

THAT'S THE THING
PEOPLE CALL LOVE

WHEN THEY DON'T WANT
TO FEEL LIKE THEY'VE
WASTED THEIR LIVES.

WELCOME HOME.

LIKE THE OUTFIT?

IT'S SOMETHING.

WELL,

I HAVE DINNER WAITING
ON THE ROOFTOP GARDEN.

CALIFORNIA CHARDONNAY.

NOT TOO PRICY
WHEN YOU BUY IN BULK.

- CHEERS.
- ( clanks )

ISN'T THIS ROMANTIC?

YOU BET.

IT'S A LOVELY NIGHT.

YEAH, A PEACH.

THE STARS SEEM SO CLOSE,
CLOSE ENOUGH TO TOUCH,

CLOSE ENOUGH
TO HEAR YOU WHISPER.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME

YOU AND I SAT DOWN
LIKE THIS AND HAD DINNER?

WE'VE NEVER
SAT DOWN LIKE THIS
AND HAD DINNER.

I MEAN IN GENERAL,
YOU AND I AS A COUPLE.

LOTS OF TIMES.

WE DON'T TALK
ENOUGH, HARRY.

TALKING NOW.

NO, I MEAN REALLY TALK.

THIS THING
THAT'S HAPPENED TO ME,

I THINK THAT IT COULD
BRING US CLOSER TOGETHER

IF WE GIVE IT HALF A CHANCE.

SURE. WHAT DO YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT?

HARRY, HAVE YOU
EVER THOUGHT MUCH ABOUT
"GULLIVER'S TRAVELS"?

ABOUT WHAT?

"GULLIVER'S TRAVELS."

THE BOOK,
"GULLIVER'S TRAVELS"?

THAT'S RIGHT.

I CAN'T SAY AS I HAVE.

I HAVE QUITE A BIT.

I'VE STARTED TO THINK
OF MYSELF AS GULLIVER

SUDDENLY SURROUNDED
BY ALL THESE TOYS
AND PLAYTHINGS,

AND I'VE BEGUN THINKING
ABOUT THE POSSIBILITIES.

EXACTLY WHAT
POSSIBILITIES ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT HERE?

ADVENTURE, HARRY,

NEW DIMENSIONS,
NEW HORIZONS--

LEAVE THE MANICURISTS
AND THE COCKTAIL WAITRESSES

DOWN IN THE FOOTHILLS,
HARRY, AND LOOK UP.

YOU DON'T WANNA GET
RID OF ME.

WHO SAID ANYTHING ABOUT
GETTING RID OF ANYBODY?

YOU DON'T WANT ME
IN SOME SANITARIUM
OR A ZOO.

THINK ABOUT IT, HARRY.

YOU'D BE THE ENVY
OF EVERY MAN ALIVE.

THERE ARE PLEASURES
WAITING FOR YOU

THAT NO ONE
HAS EVEN DREAMED OF.

IMAGINE LOVE
ON THE SCALE OF GULLIVER.

YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT IT.
I CAN TELL.

ARE YOU CRAZY?

YOU ARE CRAZY!

WHAT YOU'RE
SUGGESTING,

JESUS, NANCY,
THIS IS SICK!

SICK?

UNNATURAL AND SICK
AND FREAKISH!

WHO PRECISELY ARE YOU
CALLING A FREAK?

YOU. I'M CALLING YOU
AN IMMENSE MISTAKE

AND AN ENORMOUS,
PATHETIC FREAK!

I'M TRYING TO SHARE
SOMETHING WITH YOU, HARRY.

I'M TRYING TO SAVE
OUR MARRIAGE.

BY SUGGESTING
THAT YOU AND I--

WHAT DID YOU EXPECT ME
TO DO, GET A WETSUIT
AND A FLASHLIGHT?

YOU SON OF A BITCH!

YOU WERE SAD BEFORE.

NOW YOU'RE JUST
A BIG JOKE.

IF YOU KNEW HALF
OF WHAT HONEY PARKER

KNOWS ABOUT BEING
A REAL WOMAN...

INSECT, TICK,

I OFFER YOU A LANDSCAPE

AND YOU CLING
TO A GLASS DOORKNOB.

HONEY'S BETTER IN BED
THAN YOU EVER WERE.

( gasping )

SHE'S EVEN BETTER
THAN YOUR COUSIN VERA.

VERA?

- ( laughs )
- YOU SLEPT WITH VERA?

- UH-HUH.
- I'LL KILL HER.

BUT FIRST I'M
GONNA POP YOUR HEAD LIKE
A LITTLE CONCORD GRAPE.

COME ON, BABY.
COME ON.

MEN.

YES!

( radio playing music )

( bell rings )

LITTLE PAST YOUR CURFEW,
ISN'T IT?

JUST THOUGHT
I'D STOP BY AND SEE
HOW YOU WERE DOING.

I'M DOING LIKE
I'M USUALLY DOING.

I GOT YOU
A LITTLE SURPRISE.

SUCH AS?

TA-DA.

WOW, LOOK AT THIS NOW.

( gasps )
WHAT HAPPENED?

( whispers )
TIMBER.

HEY, IT WAS JUST
AN OPINION.

CLARISSA! CLARISSA!

YOU COME BACK HERE
THIS VERY INSTANT.

I'LL-- CLARISSA,
WHAT'S GOT INTO YOU?!

DAMN ANIMAL. ANIMAL.

ANIMAL.

EH?

EH?

THE BANKS...

OF THE WA-WA...

( groans )

( radio playing music )

( both moaning )

( screaming )

BOOG POWELL.

( laughs )
NOT EVEN CLOSE.

- ( car horn honking )
- BOOG POWELL.

HEY!

( sirens blaring )

OKAY OKAY,
IS EVERYBODY ALL RIGHT?

BACK IN THE DESERT!
YOU GOTTA CALL SOMEBODY!

THE ARMY! THE AIR FORCE!
SOMEBODY!

IS HE ON SOMETHING?

YOU HAVE GOT
TO BELIEVE ME!

( girl screaming )

IT'S HER! SHE'S COMING!
SHE'S COMING!

IT'S MRS. ARCHER.

I CAN SEE THAT.

WHERE'S MY HUSBAND?

UH-OH.

EVENING, MRS. ARCHER.

IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU
UP AND ABOUT.
( chuckles )

WHERE'S HARRY?

DON'T YOU WORRY,
MRS. ARCHER.
WE'LL FIND HIM FOR YOU.

I KNOW WHERE HE IS.

HE'S WITH THAT WOMAN.

NANCY.
NANCY, STOP.

I'LL STOP
WHEN I FIND HARRY.

I'M JUST LOOKING
FOR A LITTLE CLOSURE,
THAT'S ALL.

NANCY, DON'T DO THIS.

I HAVE TRIED, DR. CUSHING.

I HAVE REALLY
TRIED TO BE ALL MODERN
AND ADULT AND POST-FEMINIST,

AND LOOK WHAT
IT'S GOTTEN ME.

WELL, NOW I'M TAKING
MATTERS INTO MY OWN HANDS.

WHAT'LL SHE DO
IF SHE FINDS HARRY?

BALL HIM UP
LIKE A USED KLEENEX.

GOOD.

HARRY!

- ( cars honking )
- ( people screaming )

ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY
GET INTO THE SQUAD CAR.

I'M GONNA CALL
THE NATIONAL GUARD
AND THE STATE POLICE.

THIS IS NOT
A GOOD SITUATION.

( people screaming )

HARRY.

- Honey: HARRY.
- YEAH, BABY?

- TELL ME YOU LOVE ME.
- YOU KNOW I DO.

I KNOW YOU DO, BUT I WANT
TO HEAR YOU SAY IT.

- TELL ME YOU LOVE ME.
- ( moans )

( screaming continues )

HARRY.

GENTLEMEN.

- CONGRATULATIONS.
- WELL DONE.

( phone rings )

- EXCUSE ME.
- CERTAINLY.

( rings )

HAMILTON COBB.

WHAT? YES.

WELL, NO, THAT ISN'T...

POSSIBLE.

( screaming continues )

HARRY.

HAMILTON, ISN'T THAT
YOUR LITTLE GIRL?

( car horn honks )

HARRY.

FOR A DEAD WOMAN,
SHE SOUNDS AWFUL HEALTHY.

HARRY.

HARRY.

DEAD? SHE'S
NOT ONLY ALIVE,
SHE'S BIGGER.

WHAT'D YOU
TRY TO DO,

KILL HER WITH
A GROW LIGHT?

SHUT UP.

CAN'T YOU DO
ANYTHING RIGHT?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING? HEY.

SOMEBODY AROUND HERE'S
GOTTA ACT LIKE THEY
GOT BALLS.

( screams )

DON'T BE STUPID
YOUR WHOLE DAMN LIFE.

YOU'RE BETTER THAN THEY ARE,

YOU'RE SMARTER
THAN THEY ARE,

AND YOU KNOW
MORE THAN YOU THINK.

WE ALL DO.

- ( engine cranks )
- ( gasps )

( metal creaks )

NO!

AAH!

MISS ME?

I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU WANT
TO HEAR MY SIDE OF THIS.

( helicopter whirring )

( air-raid siren blaring )

( screaming continues )

WHAT ARE THEY
GONNA DO TO THEM?

WHAT DO YOU THINK
THEY'RE GONNA DO?

QUICK, HAMILTON.
MAYBE YOU COULD TALK TO HER.

WHAT'S GONNA
HAPPEN, SIR?

NOTHING, AT LEAST
NOT UNTIL WE GET PAST
THE CITY LIMITS.

THEN WHAT, SIR?

I DON'T KNOW, QUIMBY.
I JUST DON'T KNOW.

( air raid siren
continues )

( tires skid )

ALL RIGHT, BIG WOMAN.

NOW YOU GOT
NOWHERE TO GO.

( loudspeaker )
THAT'S FAR ENOUGH, MA'AM.

JUST PUT THE HOSTAGE DOWN

AND KEEP YOUR HANDS UP
SO WE CAN SEE THEM.

MAKE ME.

IT DOESN'T SEEM RIGHT

FIRING AN AIR-TO-GROUND
MISSILE AT A WOMAN.

DON'T THINK
OF HER AS A WOMAN.
THINK OF HER AS A TARGET.

THAT'S WHAT I ALWAYS DO.

( police siren blaring )

HOLD YOUR FIRE
UNTIL I GIVE THE SIGNAL!

- HERE. YOU TALK TO HER.
- ME?

YOU'RE HER FATHER.
TALK TO HER.

ALL RIGHT, NANCY,
I THINK YOU'VE MADE
YOUR POINT.

I WANT YOU TO STOP
EMBARRASSING ME IN FRONT
OF ALL THESE PEOPLE.

HOW DARE YOU TALK
TO ME THAT WAY?

IT'S HUMILIATING.

YOU TREAT ME
LIKE SUCH A CHILD.

IF YOU BEHAVED
LIKE AN ADULT,

YOU'D BE TREATED
LIKE AN ADULT.

NOW LET'S KEEP FAMILY
MATTERS IN THE FAMILY.

WE'LL TALK
WHEN WE GET HOME.

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME.
YOU NEVER CARED ABOUT ME.

YOU JUST NEED MY NAME
ON SOME PAPERS SO YOU
CAN HIDE MORE MONEY.

- NANCY!
- THAT'S ALL YOU CARE ABOUT.

YOU DON'T LOVE ME.
YOU DIDN'T LOVE MY MOTHER.

AND THIS TOWN,
ALL YOU'RE INTERESTED IN

IS HOW MUCH YOU
CAN STEAL FROM IT.

YOU GOT A GUN.
WHY DON'T YOU DO
SOMETHING?

LIKE WHAT, I SUPPOSE?

SHERIFF.

NOBODY FIRES
UNTIL I SAY "FIRE."

FIRE!

NO!

( woman vocalizing )

( vocalizing stops )

Woman:
SET UP OVER HERE.

Man: YOU THINK
SHE'LL SHOW?

YOU GOT THOSE
CABLES RUN?

Second man:
YEAH.

CHECK THE BATTERY PACK.

WHAT DO YOU THINK
YOU'RE DOING?

YOU AND I HAVE TO TALK.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT HOW WE'RE GONNA
BE PARTNERS FROM NOW ON,

EQUAL PARTNERS.

GET OUT OF THE CAR.

( sighs )
YOU KNOW, IT'S
FUNNY THE THINGS

MEN'LL TALK ABOUT IN BED.

THEY'LL TALK ABOUT
ANYTHING TO KEEP FROM
SAYING THEY LOVE YOU.

THEY'LL TALK ABOUT WORK
AND ABOUT MONEY,

ABOUT SUBSTANDARD
CONSTRUCTION

AND BRIBES AND KICKBACKS,

WHEN ALL A GIRL
REALLY WANTS TO HEAR ARE
THOSE THREE LITTLE WORDS.

NOW WHAT DO YOU WANT?

START THE CAR.

DR. CUSHING, WHAT
DO YOU THINK ACTUALLY
HAPPENED HERE TONIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.
I DOUBT WE'LL EVER KNOW.

BUT I THINK NANCY
FINALLY GOT HARRY
ALL TO HERSELF.

( chimes ringing )

I BELIEVE
IF WE WERE REALLY GOING
TO BE HONEST ABOUT THIS,

WE'D ALL ADMIT
TO BEING VICTIMS

OF A VERY UNREALISTIC
AND LIMITING IDEA
OF MANHOOD.

RIGHT. THAT'S WHERE
ALL THE ANGER,

ALL THE HOSTILITY
COMES FROM.

WE'VE BEEN CUT OFF
FROM THE OLD DEFINITIONS

OF MASCULINE AND FEMININE,

AND THAT CAUSES
THE BASIC INSECURITY

THAT WE ALL FEEL AS MEN
IN THE MODERN WORLD.

YOU CAN SEE WHAT I'M
SAYING, CAN'T YOU?

FRANKLY, IN MY OPINION,

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT THE HELL YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT.

I'M NOT HOSTILE,
I'M NOT INSECURE,

AND I DON'T
HAVE ANY PROBLEMS

WITH MY MANHOOD--
NEVER DID.

SO WHATEVER THE TROUBLE
IS, THE ONE THING

I DO KNOW FOR SURE
IS IT'S NOT ME.

BUT YOU CAN RECOGNIZE
THE DESTRUCTIVE PATTERNS
IN YOUR LIFE,

AND YOU'RE READY
TO CHANGE, RIGHT?

OH, THE DESTRUCTIVE
PATTERNS.

HEY, THOSE DESTRUCTIVE
PATTERNS

CAN BE A REAL BITCH,
RIGHT? HEY, UH,

WHATEVER YOU DO,
DEFINITELY AVOID

THOSE DESTRUCTIVE
PATTERNS.

I REALLY WISH
YOU'D MAKE AN EFFORT
TO PARTICIPATE.

THESE SESSIONS ARE
FOR YOUR OWN GOOD.

I'M PARTICIPATING.

DIDN'T YOU
JUST HEAR ME NOW
PARTICIPATING?

YOU JUST DON'T
GET IT, DO YOU?

WHY CAN'T YOU
UNDERSTAND?

IT'S NOT JUST ME
THAT'S CHANGED.

IT'S A WHOLE
NEW UNIVERSE, HARRY,

AND IT'S UP TO YOU
TO CATCH UP WITH US.

MAYBE YOU'LL
FIGURE IT OUT.

MAYBE. I HOPE SO.

OTHERWISE...

OTHERWISE?

TRY AGAIN.

- AGAIN?
- AGAIN.

HARRY, PERHAPS
YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE SOME

OF THE PERSONAL
EXPERIENCES THAT
BROUGHT YOU HERE.

WHY DON'T YOU MIND
YOUR OWN BUSINESS?

YOU'RE BLOCKING,
HARRY.

KEEP YOUR NOSE OUT OF IT
TOO, PAL, OKAY?

I THINK HARRY
HAS A LOT OF SHAME ISSUES
THAT HE NEEDS TO WORK ON.

I THINK WHAT HARRY
NEEDS IS A COLD BEER.
THAT'S WHAT HARRY NEEDS.

MAYBE WE SHOULD DO
THAT TRUST EXERCISE.

THAT'D BE A GOOD WAY
TO SHOW HARRY HOW WE
ALL FEEL ABOUT HIM.

Harry:
DON'T TOUCH ME.

DON'T EVER TOUCH ME.
UNDERSTAND?

Man:
HARRY, I REALLY BELIEVE

OF LOVE, HARRY.
