Just a little. Sorry.

It's okay.

Just right there

I'm a little ticklish.

Okay. I won't touch you there.

No, you can. It's okay. No.

It's okay. No, it's okay.

Do you talk during sex?

God! I don't know!

It's been a long time.

Do you want me to? Or not?

I could do either.

If you could.

Or just, you know,

make some noises.

Noises?

Like moaning or something.

Oh. Okay. I could do that.

That's nice.

Does this feel okay?

Yes. Sorry. I'm just...

I'm a little shy.

Oh, it's fine.

Ouch!

My hair. Sorry. I'm sorry.

It's okay. I'm sorry. It's okay.

Maybe if we can just turn

a little bit like this?

Sure.

Is that better? Much.

Good.

You feel so good.

You do, too.

Oh. Oh.

What? You don't want that?

No, I'm just, um...

I'm kind of shy about that, too.

Don't be shy. It'll be good.

I really want to.

Okay.

Okay, go ahead.

You're being quiet.

Is it not good?

No, it's fine.

It's good. It's, um...

Just a little bit more gentle maybe.

At first, maybe.

Sorry. It's okay.

Better?

Yes.

Could you come up here, please?

Ahh!

That was really nice.

Uh-huh.

I don't want to lose you.

I lose everyone.

What do you mean?

I don't know.

It doesn't matter.

Oh.

Hello?

Hello, Mr. stone?

Yes. It's early. Who is it?

Good morning, sir.

My name is Lawrence Gill

and I'm the general manager

of the hotel.

Yes?

I have a matter of some delicacy

I need to talk to you about.

- Mmm-hmm. What's going on?

- Who is it?

Would it be possible for you

to come down to my office

to chat for a few moments?

I suppose.

I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you take the elevator

to the basement level

and turn left when you get off,

you'll see

the administrative offices.

You can just ask for me.

My name is Lawrence Gill.

Yeah, okay.

Who was that?

Lawrence Gill.

Hello. Lawrence Gill's office.

May I help you?

At 2:
30 today.

No, I'm sorry...

Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Gill.

Yes, of course, one moment.

Mr. Gill, a Mr...

Stone. A Mr. stone

is here to see you.

Yes, sir. You can go right in.

Thank you for coming, Mr. stone.

It's over here.

It's big, I know.

They offered me 300 square on the

fifth floor or this down here.

Not a hard decision, right?

Take the golf cart.

That's what it's for.

Watch out for

the sunken meeting area.

No, no, you can just

go around those.

No, don't try to drive through.

There. There you are.

Ah.

Have a seat.

Do you like the fish?

I just had them put in.

Salt water tanks.

They're hard to maintain.

Those are leprechaun fish.

The ones with the

sort of Irish faces.

Is there some problem?

No, sir. It's nothing like that.

What then?

Nothing.

Excuse me?

It's just...

What?

Well...

Please, I have

a conference to attend.

Oh, yes, of course.

"Customer service."

And I've read your book myself.

Hotel productivity up 90%.

You and I are in the

same business, really,

when you come down to it.

Service. Wouldn't you agree?

Yes.

Yes.

Anyway, I don't know how to put

this, so I'll just put it.

I understand that you had a

guest in your room last night.

Is that a crime?

No, not at all.

Certainly, hoteliers are in the

business of being discreet

about our guests' philandering.

Philandering?

No, it isn't that.

My choice of words...

It's not about that at all.

How do you even

know that, anyway?

Well, I...

Mr. stone, may I be

candid with you?

I guess.

I don't know what the

hell you're getting at.

Well, I, um...

Um...

I love you.

Right, I'm leaving.

No, no. Look. I've never talked

to you like this before.

It has not been appropriate.

Perhaps it's not still,

but I've been unable to

contain myself this morning.

I love you. And I want

what's best for you.

And if you need to have

an affair, I understand,

but have it with me.

Goodbye.

Have it with

anyone at all, anybody,

just not Lisa.

No. Wait!

We're all here for you.

We're all one for you.

Come back!

Do you like any of these here?

They're very pretty.

That one's Stephanie.

Stephanie, say hello

to Mr. stone.

Hello. You can f*** me

if you want, Mr. stone.

Or me.

Any of us.

Just not Lisa.

Not Lisa!

Lisa.

Whoa!

Lisa!

Here's your

breakfast, Mr. stone.

Whoa!

Lisa!

Lisa! Lisa!

Yes? Oh, hello, Michael.

Where...

Where is she, Emily?

She's not here. Michael?

Lisa, let's go! What?

Lisa, don't go with him.

He's insane.

What's going on?

I don't have the time

to tell you. Just come!

Where are you taking me?

Em, what's going on?

Oh, for god's sake. Lisa, pull

free from him and come back here.

Where are you going to go, Michael?

Be reasonable.

There's nowhere to go.

Oh! You're hurting me.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

I had to get you away.

You weren't safe.

Safe from what? What

are you talking about?

They don't want

us to be together.

I think they'll kill

you if they need to.

Michael?

They explained it to me.

The hotel manager,

he explained it to me.

They're all one person

and they love me.

Everyone is one person,

but you and me.

You're the only other

person in the world!

Really?

That's so beautiful.

I'm going to cry.

No, we need to stay together.

Forever.

To protect each other,

to nurture each other.

Oh, my god. Oh, my god, that's...

Are you sure?

Yes.

Yes. Finally.

Finally, I've found you.

I've waited so long

for someone to...

And you're so smart.

We have to get out of here.

My clothes. My stuff.

We'll get new.

Your wife and son.

- They don't exist.

- They're just them.

- Michael? Michael?

- Michael? Michael?

- Michael? Michael?

- Michael?

Michael?

- Michael!

- Oh.

You're having a nightmare

or something.

Oh, man.

You were thrashing.

You hit me in the face

with your elbow.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, it's okay.

I kind of liked it.

It's kind of intimate.

Oh, okay, then. Stick around.

I'm sure you'll get more of those.

I'm a sloppy sleeper.

You're all sweaty.

What was the dream?

I don't know.

Something about

the hotel manager.

Are you hungry?

We could order breakfast.

I have to get ready

for this speech.

Can I have scrambled eggs?

Sure.

I love eggs. Scrambled is

my favorite egg style.

What about yours?

Mmm!

These eggs are delicious.

They're scrambled perfectly.

Do you want to try some?

No. Now here's

what I'm thinking.

Yes?

I want to be with you.

What do you mean?

I need to be with you.

I want to leave my wife.

Really?

Michael, that's a big

decision. I don't...

No, no, no,

it's something I have to do.

I mean, if you're interested.

I mean, yeah. I mean,

it's awfully sudden.

I mean, I don't want

to be responsible

for breaking up a marriage.

Do we need to decide now?

It's been years since I've

felt anything like this.

It's like

a floodgate has opened.

I can't close it. I don't want to.

I love you.

Okay. Um...

I don't know.

It seems so big and...

Oh, gosh, okay.

Yeah, let's do it.

Great! This is so great!

Anomalisa.

So, I'll call Donna

and tell her.

No, maybe I should
