I think you're pretty

[SIGHING]

[SIGHING]

[WHISPERING] Oh God!

WILLIAM:
I'm sorry.

- LAURA:
It's over there.

- Yeah, I see it.

[SIGHING]

Are you sure you don't know

who they were?

LAURA:
Yeah.

WILLIAM:
How about I just

drive you home...

and get you settled in?

LAURA:

I'm okay. I just need to rest.

WILLIAM:
I could

make you something, if you want.

You don't have to cook,

you know?

LAURA:
I just need to be alone

right now.

[SIGHING]

[GRUNTING]

- [KEYS JINGLING]

- Don't forget your pills.

Thank you.

[CRYING]

I'd kill those bastards

if I could, Laura.

I would goddamn kill them!

Thank you for the lift.

Okay.

I'll, uh,

I'll call you later.

Okay.

Laura?

Oh my God!

- I'm okay.

- Laura, what happened?

I'm okay.

- [INHALING SHARPLY]

- You don't look okay!

I just need to sit down.

Could you get me some water?

Yeah! Yeah, of course!

Thank you.

Laura, please tell me

what happened.

[SIGHING]

I was in...

the hospital

because I got beaten up.

By who?

By my...

By my dad.

What?

Why?

Because he tried to touch me.

Touch you.

And I wouldn't let him.

Touch you how?

In a way that...

a father's not supposed

to touch his own daughter.

Oh my God!

[CRYING]

And I just don't understand,

you know, because I thought that

that stopped a long time ago.

[STAMMERING] What did he do?

[SNIFFLING]

I had to go to my dad's house.

I was showing him

something on the computer.

[SIGHING] And then he tried

to...

but I wouldn't let him.

And so he hit me,

and he wouldn't stop.

How did you get away?

How did you get to the hospital?

I don't wanna talk

about this anymore.

- Did... Did you call the police?

- No.

How come?

Look what he did to you!

No. It's finished, okay?

I don't want to.

He can't get away with this.

- Laura! He can't get away...

- I don't wanna call anybody.

...with this.

Please okay.

- You need to call the police!

- I don't wanna call the f***ing

police, okay? Just stop!

[WHIMPERING]

I'm sorry.

[CRYING]

I don't have anybody else

in the world, okay?

Just you.

[SNIFFLING]

Will you please take

care of me? Please?

Yeah, of course. Of course.

Of course.

You're my angel. [SNIFFLING]

Oh God!

[KEYBOARD PLAYING]

You're almost done

with that inventory?

Mm-hmm.

Wanna give it to me?

Thanks.

Oh!

Are you ready for tonight?

I... I can't make it tonight.

Why not?

'Cause I already got plans.

What are they?

Nothing.

Tell me!

Stop prying.

Well, as your father,

I'm naturally curious

about what you're doing.

Really? At my age,

is that natural?

Yes, I think so.

Well, don't think too hard.

You might hurt yourself.

- [SCOFFING]

- [TELEPHONE RINGING]

Yeah!

Uh...

no, tomorrow's fine.

Yeah, tomorrow,

but not next week.

Right? Tomorrow.

Yeah, just tell them that.

Okay.

All right, bye.

[SIGHING]

- She's my lover.

- Sorry?

I can't go tonight

because I'm having dinner

- with my lover.

- Your lover?

Yeah.

- Hard to imagine, isn't it?

- No, it's just,

it sounds so serious

when you say it like that.

Well, it is.

And believe it or not,

she really loves me too.

I'm sure she does.

- And we live together.

- Oh, you live together!

How long have you

even known each other?

- Long enough.

- How come I didn't know

- about this?

- Why the f*** would you?

I mean, what kind

of trouble have you gotten

- yourself into now?

- I haven't gotten myself into

- anything!

- No?

You mean you didn't

have to stalk this one?

- F*** you!

- Laura!

- No f*** you!

- Shh. Be quiet!

- Keep your voice down.

- What is this...

What is this about, huh?

Are you jealous?

- Why would I...

- Are you jealous

- that I found someone?

- Why would I be goddamn jealous?

- I'm worried is what I am!

- What are you worried about?

What do you think

I'm worried about?

- Come in here.

- Look it is no business

of yours what I do

in my own home.

Oh yes? Your home?

You'd be on the goddamn street

if I didn't buy that home

for you!

Okay, you know what?

F*** you and f*** this job!

So I quit!

Good!

Run away like you always do!

[DOORS SLAMMING]

[CRYING]

[SIGHING]

[MUTTERING INDISTINCTLY]

- EVA:
Here you go.

- LAURA:
Oh God! [CHUCKLING]

This looks amazing.

I hope it's good.

Thank you for making this.

[SIGHING] Cheers!

Cheers!

- This is so nice.

- [DOORBELL RINGING]

Who's that?

I have no idea.

Sh*t!

- Who is it?

- It's my dad.

What the f*** does he want?

I don't know. Just

give me two seconds, okay?

Hi, sweetie.

What the hell

are you doing here?

Yeah, I... I tried to call but,

I guess you're a little busy.

- You know goddamn well I'm busy!

- I know, I know.

What are you doing here?

I'm really sorry

about the argument we had

and the things that I said.

That was stupid,

stupid idiotic things.

I don't care about your apology,

and I don't take back

what I said.

- Are you done now?

- Laura, please!

Just give me a second, please.

I have something else to say.

And I'm very sorry

to bring this up now...

but...

I can't bear the weight

of it anymore,

and, um,

I think it's eating us alive.

And...

I...

I...

I live with guilt and remorse

every single day.

Those things that happened

between us should never,

ever have happened,

and I want to apologize to you.

- Are you f***ing with me?

- No, of course not!

Why are you doing this now?

Why now, when you know

I have someone over?

There's never a good time

for something like this.

Oh no, this is...

Definitely the absolute

worst f***ing time!

- I'm sorry, angel.

- I didn't mean to ruin

your evening, I promise.

- Bullshit!

- I just... Laura, please!

I need to say this.

I am sorry!

I am sorry!

I am sorry!

[BOTH CRYING]

Do you think you could

ever forgive me?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. Just give me a minute,

- okay?

- You don't look okay.

I'm fine.

We're trying to have

a private conversation.

- Please.

- What do you want?

- Eva.

- What are you...

- What are you doing here?

- Actually, I need to speak

- with my daughter. Please!

- Why don't you just

leave her alone! Okay.

Haven't you done enough damage?

- Excuse me?

- You're a f***ing pervert!

- Eva!
