Breaking the Waves Page #2

And you could

get her t...

You could get her to do

anything you wanted.

No. I don't think so.

How am I supposed to

look out for her now?

What do you want to do?

Keep her here, locked up

for the rest of her life?

She hasn't got the strength.

She's stronger than you and me.

You don't understand, do you?

She's not right in the head.

Come on.

She just wants it all.

What's this?

What?

What?

What's that?

What's that?

It's a present.

Can I open it?

Yeah, sure. Open it.

Nice colors, aren't they?

Very cheerful.

It's open.

We've been

waiting for you, bud.

Hey.

Yeah. That's fine.

You want a little snort?

Look at you.

Ha ha ha!

Bess!

No!

Aah!

No!

Come, come, come.

All right?

It's ok.

It's ok.

Whoo!

Watch your head!

Wum! Ha ha ha!

Watch your head.

Ok?

It's just for a little.

I'll call you.

Jan!

No!

Bess!

No!

Bess!

You're going

to be all right, dear.

Ok? You're ok.

It's all right, darling.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's ok.

It's all right, dear.

Let's give you one of these.

One of these down you.

Here we go.

Take one of these.

That's it.

Pop it in your mouth.

Swallow.

Who would be a poor man,

a beggar man, a thief?

If he had a rich man

in his hand?

And who would steal the candy

from a laughing baby's mouth?

If he could take it

from the money man?

Cross eyed Mary

a- goes jumping in again

She signs no contract

but she always

plays the game

She dines in Hampstead village...

You are guilty of selfishness, Bess.

You didn't even consider

for one second

how painful

it must have been for him.

You put your own feelings

before everyone else's.

I can't see that you love him

when you behave like that.

Now you must promise

to be a good girl, Bess.

I promise to be a good girl.

I'm sorry for the way

I behaved, mother.

It's all right, Bessie.

Mother, would it be ok...

...if I came home for a bit

while Jan's away?

Of course it would, Bessie.

Ok.

You got it.

A little bit of this sh*t.

Mmm.

Oh, sh*t.

Nice.

Huh?

You know, the waves are

getting pretty heavy.

JesusCchrist. What the

f***'s wrong with you?

Just pissed.

Just give me one.

Just wait.

Now, but you know,

there's some nice...

Sh*t. Sorry, guys.

Just throw

the goddamn radio away.

You can't get anything

in here anyhow.

You and your f***ing radio.

Oh, God! F***. Jeez!

Come on. Dance! Dance!

Yee-ha! Yee-ha!

Yee-ha!

Yee-ha!

Fire! Fire!

Wet towel!

Just...sh*t!

Whoo! Whoo!

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

Hey!

Bueno! Bueno! Bueno!

Didn't he say he'd call?

Do you want me

to wait with you?

Yes, please.

Where the f***

is the second shift?

I got a phone call to make.

I got to go

to the hospital.

Are you cold?

No.

No?

You're all right?

Don't wait too long, will you?

Oh, sh*t.

Pim, got to make

a phone call.

Get out of here.

Hello?

Oh, is Bess there?

One moment.

Bess. Bess.

Is that you, Bess?

Hi.

Oh, I'm sorry I couldn't

get to the phone earlier.

That's ok.

Don't you love me anymore?

Oh...

Of course I do.

Say so, then.

I'd made up

my mind not to.

Everyone says that

I love you too much

and if you found out

how much I loved you,...

...you might get upset

...because we're not

together right now.

Oh, Bess, never stop

saying you love me.

You hear?

Yes.

No matter what anybody says.

Yes.

Say it, then.

I love you so much.

I love you, too.

I can hear you breathing.

Can you hear me?

What are you thinking?

That you're here.

And what are you doing?

Um... I'm touching your arms

and your chest

and your tummy

and...

...your prick.

You're so huge.

Ha ha ha!

Jan will be home in

ten days for a week.

Pardon?

Jan will be home in

ten days for a week.

Pits.

Hi.

What are you doing here?

Where's Jan?

I'm the only one back.

Hurt my wrist.

They sent me home.

Oh.

He sends his love.

How long have

you got off now?

Only three days.

Oh.

Yeah. You know me.

I'm back.

Oh, sorry.

How long

has she been asleep?

What's the matter with you?

Cat got your tongue?

Have you taken my calendar?

Huh?

Have you taken my calendar?

No, I have not.

What would I want

with your calendar?

Don't be ridiculous.

You've taken it.

I have not taken it.

Yes, you have.

I don't know what

you're talking about.

What calendar?

Where is it?

Bess, you've got to

stop all this, you know.

You've got to go on living

when he isn't here.

I mean, he's not dead.

You're not dead.

You know what I mean?

You've got to stop it.

Shh. It's all right.

It's nothing.

What's going on?

Go back to sleep.

It's all right.

Was that Bess?

No. It's ok.

It's all right.

Bit of hysterics.

No, no. It's all right.

I'll sort it out.

We're not to have this

carry on in the house.

I know. Just stay where you are.

Go back to sleep.

It's terrible.

Bess McNeill, for many years,

you've prayed for love.

Shall I take it away

from you again?

Is that what you want?

Oh, no.

I'm still grateful for love.

What do you want, then?

I pray for Jan to come home.

He will be coming

home in ten days.

You must learn to endure.

You know that.

Oh, I can't wait.

This is unlike you, Bess.

Out there, there are people

who need Jan and his work.

What about them?

They don't matter.

Nothing else matters.

I just want Jan home again.

I pray to you.

Oh, please,

won't you send him home?

Are you sure

that's what you want?

Yes.

Ok. Get her up.

Blow out!

Get away!

Blow out!

Terry!

Terry!

Terry! Terry!

Terry!

Talk to me, will you?

Watch out!

Jan!

Go get... get a medic!

I don't know what kind of

condition he's in.

I think it's very serious, though.

I don't quite know.

It's Jan. There's been

an accident on the rig.

Jan, can you hear me?

Oh.

What are you doing?

I'm holding your hand.

Don't touch me.

Don't touch me!

Jan, relax.

Just take...

Sit down here.

All right.

All right.

Shh. Deep breath.

Hello.

Talk to me, darling.

Talk to me.

Talk to me.

Come on.

It's all right.

It's all right.

It's going to be all right.

Uh, they're going

to operate straightaway.

It will be a few hours,...

...so I think we better wait...

Bess.

Bess, you can't go in there.

It's not allowed.

I want to be with him.

I know you do.

I know.

But come on. Come with me.

Come on.

No. I want to see him

all the time.

Bess, it's not a good idea.

Come on.

Bess. Bess, please,

you can't stay here.

It's just not possible.

Bess!

Can I have

a word with you?

Stay there, all right?

Don't move.

I want you

to pray with me.

But...

Please.

Dear god,

we pray that you

will hold your hand

over Jan

and not let him die.

Amen.

Mrs. Nyman, will you please

come with me?

Will he live?

We have stabilized your husband's

condition for the time being.

Will he live?

Yes. Yes, Bess,

He will live.

Your husband suffered

very serious injuries.

Life shouldn't always

be preserved at any cost.

What do you mean?

Um, well, the doctor

means, Bess...

...that, um, sometimes...

...in some cases when
