Cottage Country Page #2

- Yes.

- Is he leaving?

- Yes and no.

Meet me on the porch.

No, no, sit down. Sit.

- Will you marry me?

- Here?

No, at one of the fine hotels

at Niagara Falls.

- Why will you ask here and not on the island?

- I had thought about me...

...but things have changed,

and I will do it before I...

- Before...

- What things have changed?

Salinger is dead.

- What do you say?

- I told him to get out of here...

...and he did not take it so nicely,

since he is who he is.

There was something stupid,

and I hit him with the ax.

- Did you hit him with the ax?

- Yeah, I hit him with the ax.

It was an accident.

He was pushing me.

And then it happened. Sorry.

He's dead. It was not meant to be.

Seriously? Is he dead?

Where is he?

You know, I can not say yes right now.

You must be free again on the island.

But I'm sure

you will be happy with the answer.

- Are not you mad at me?

- Toodles...

You've done something really difficult.

A real manly things.

- I will stand by your side all the time.

- Will you wait for me?

- I'll be in jail.

- No, we will not let that happen.

Nobody is going to believe

it was self-defense.

Nobody is going to know something.

Not if we stick together.

- Is not that what the ring means.

- I bought it, you liked.

You did not think I saw it,

but I did.

I turned my brother to death.

Do you know what that means?

It means...

When we create a family

we can come here as often as we want.

For crying out loud.

- I do not know.

- Todd!

I am 34 years old,

and what have I accomplished?

I am chief accountant for

a frostmadfirma. It's not enough.

I want a family, and if you

You're going down, I'll find someone else.

How long will it be before he will

to have children? And can I get some?

My babe.

Yes, there was something terrible,

but you wanted it.

Make over your brother, but do not

to let it go beyond yourself.

We also do not have to die, right?

Oh, god.

Okay.

- Are you sure?

- Absolutely.

- Do not do it for me.

- No, this is how I want it.

- A zillion percent.

- Fine.

Put the ring back in his pocket.

We need to get it to look like,

as if they were never here.

- Hello.

- Still nothing new about Salinger?

- Has Todd did not say it to you?

- What?

I must have forgotten it. Salinger

said he was going out with the kayak.

- I fry some mushrooms for lunch.

- I'll help you cut.

Moment. The kitchen floor is as

dirty when we fry mushrooms, so...

Masha, you can rinse the mushrooms while

I get started in the oil and garlic?

- Fine.

- You can use the little sponge.

By the way,

I met someone on the way up here?

No.

It was midnight.

I saw no one and no one saw you.

It is only us

who knows that you are here in the hut?

Yes, Cammie.

- Anything else?

- Wait.

- What?

- See here. Tax?

How to make really delicious

fungi. Man pours them on the forehead.

- And then touching one round.

- Yes.

It continues to touch,

so they do not burn on.

It's not what you think.

- Do something.

- No, it's fine. You got her.

- How long does it take?

- I do not know. You beat her.

This had not happened,

if we had followed the plan!

You do not know how hard it is

to kill another human being.

- See here.

- What are you doing, Cammie?

Shut up!

That's it. That's it.

She's not going anywhere.

It'll be fine.

- What is it?

- I do not know. In the heat of battle.

- Is it part of the plan?

- No.

Be a good boyfriend and get the ax.

Should we not move his car first?

Is not it best to paddle, while

is bright and dump the car in the dark?

- What if someone sees us sail?

- We are off to camp.

It looks more suspiciously out

paddling in the dark.

So we leave the car at home

while we are away.

- Do you want to move it now?

- No, I suppose not.

- Are you sure?

- Yes.

- Just let me know if you are not.

- I'm sure.

Why you mentioned it at all?

- I love you.

- And I love you.

- One, two...

- Wait, I need to loosen the canoe.

Cammie Ryan, will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes!

Tax. What car are you?

Our or Salinger?

- What's the plan?

- I can not think clearly.

That's why we have a plan.

So you should not think.

- You're Salinger, I'll take ours.

- Fine, well.

I see. Sorry.

I can not relax until we

has dumped the car and everything is quiet.

That's fine, honey.

Everything goes right by our head.

Someone party.

- Did you leave the lights on?

- For hole instructions indeed!

Paddle!

He had already invited them.

Salinger said, but I said no.

If you had said this,

we had moved the car first.

- I told you.

- You did not tell me everything.

- So we had moved on.

- Fine, you're right.

- From now on I will tell you everything.

- How insignificant it is.

- Is there anything else you would like to share?

- No.

Okay, let's put our alibi.

Has anyone seen Salinger? My brother.

- Are you his brother?

- Yes. Todd. Todd Chipowski.

Have you seen Salinger?

The guy who invited you here.

Salinger!

If you could f*** with anyone

anything here, who would you choose?

My boyfriend.

- Are you Todd's girlfriend?

- Cammie.

I am orthodox. I have not

touch women outside the family.

- Is this your friends?

- I have known Salinger long.

We studied art together,

but I chose not Salinger's way.

- I'm still studying.

- What are you studying?

- Torah. I leave from Yeshiva.

- Yeshiva, yes.

- They are amazing.

- It is a religious school for Jews.

Come on. So you get

completely from the Holy Land?

From New York City.

- How exciting.

- It can be.

- Have you seen Salinger?

- Is not he here?

The door was unlocked when we came. His car

are here, but no one has seen them.

- He does not answer.

- We've been out in the canoe all day.

We went to the waterfall and to the island.

We were not here when he came.

- We did not know he was coming.

- So I waited probably not us?

- It was a bit of a shock.

- Typical Salinger.

- When you said you left?

- I did not. This morning.

I am trying to create a timeline

to figure out when he was away.

You make it sound,

as if he has disappeared.

He and Masha trains safely in the woods

and was crooked. You know the ones.

Yes, that's why I'm worried.

Maybe we should start looking.

- Based on what?

- Because...

...a completely unreliable and

absentminded guy does not have emerged.

You are right.

- Relax and enjoy the party.

- I will.

Just to confirm:
Salinger's car

was not here last night?

No. It was neither here

last night or this morning.

It is so strange.

He texted me yesterday.

- What did he say?

- He wrote...

"Shalom, dude. Just got.

Sea control. See you maana."

It's from yesterday.

It says nothing about the cabin.

He mentions only the lake.

Maybe they slept under the stars.

They do probably now.

Yes, it is probably just what they do.

- I stop worrying now.

- It's nice that you show care.

If you see Salinger, would you say,

that Todd will talk to him.

- Okay.

- Hello.

- Hi, Todd.
