(phone ringing)
Dolores:
It's for me!
Hello? No, I'm sorry, she's busy.
Charlotte:
I hope you'll forgive her bad manners.
(music playing)
Charlotte:
Now what?!
Dolores:
Look, it's my modern dance creation!
Charlotte:
Dolores Haze, turn that music down!
She's an absolute pest...
just slap her hard if she interferes with your meditations.
Psst...
Hum...
do you know that I have one most ambitious dream?
To get ahold of a real trained maid...
like that German girl that the Talbots spoke of?
And have her live in the house.
Humbert:
No room.
Charlotte:
Oh, cherie, cherie...
you underestimate the possibilities of our humble household.
We would put her in Lo's room.
I intended to turn that hole into a guest room anyway.
Humbert:
Where would Lo sleep?
Charlotte:
Little Lo, I'm afraid, does not enter the picture at all...
little Lo goes straight from camp to a good boarding school...
with strict discipline and some sound religious training.
Dolores:
I won't go!
Charlotte:
I want all of these name tags sewn on your clothes by tomorrow.
Dolores:
I don't want to go.
Charlotte:
I don't believe I asked your opinion, Dolores!
Dolores:
I don't wanna go, and you can't make me.
Charlotte:
Look, we all think it's a good idea...
Professor Humbert thinks it's a good idea...
I think it's a good idea, and you are going!!
Dolores:
Double-crosser!
Humbert:
Ow!
Charlotte:
I asked you to put that suitcase in the car an hour ago...
Louise, thank you so much for helping the poor child.
Goddamnit! Dolores, I told you to put this lunch basket in the back seat!
Didn't I?
Dolores:
Why do you tell me to do everything?
Charlotte:
Louise, Brussels sprouts and meat loaf for dinner.
Louise:
All right, drive careful.
Charlotte:
Thank you. Let's go.
Louise:
(To Dolores)Bye, my baby, you be good.
Dolores:
Bye, Louise.
I'll miss you...
Charlotte:
Ahhhgh!
Dolores, let's go!
Louise:
You be sweet, my baby.
Charlotte:
Speed it up.
Get in the car!
Now what?
(Dolores runs back into house and upstairs to Humbert, she embraces then kisses him and leaves)
Charlotte:
That child!
Louise, maybe tenderloin.
Louise:
That'd be good.
Charlotte:
I'm waiting!
If I've told you once, I've told you a thousand times...
not to make me wait in the car.
If you weren't going to camp, I would ground you.
Louise:
Mr. Humble!
These damn stairs gonna be the death of me...
Mr. Humble!
Mr. Humble!
Mr. Humble?
I have something for you.
Humbert:
Oh, yes.
Louise:
I'm leaving, but... I'll be back later.
What the hell you doin' in there?
Charlotte:
"This is a confession. I love you.
I'm a passionate and lonely woman, and you are the love of my life.
Now you know, so please destroy this letter and go.
I shall return by dinner time and you must be gone by then."
"You see, cherie, if I found you at home...
the fact of your remaining would mean only one thing...
that you want me as much as I do you...
as a lifelong mate.
And that you are ready to link up your life with mine forever and ever...
and be a father to my little girl."
Humbert:
Two weeks later we were married in a simple ceremony.
Big Haze made sure Little Haze was not in attendance.
Charlotte:
Mmm, this is bliss. This is heaven on earth, isn't it, Hum?
Humbert:
Hmm.
Charlotte:
Are you working on your book?
Humbert:
Yes.
Charlotte:
Secret drawer... what's in there?
Humbert:
Locked-up love letters.
Charlotte:
Where's the key?
Humbert:
Hidden.
During the six weeks we'd been married...
I successfully avoided most of my husbandly duties.
Through July I'd been offering Charlotte sleeping tablets...
which she gobbled down happily; she was a great taker of pills.
Radio:
"I'm in the mood for love..."
Humbert:
The last dose I had tried had knocked her out for four hours.
But that is not enough to guarantee me an undisturbed night.
Doctor:
Hum...
Humbert:
At last.
I think I must be immune.
What would you give me if you wanted to...
to knock out... say... a cow?
Just, just for... seven or eight hours.
So that...
you know, "the cow"...
would stay asleep?
Even if you were tossing and turning next to it?
Doctor:
Well...
why don't you... try these?
They're new.
My wife takes them, and...
I don't hear a peep out of her all night long.
Humbert:
Sounds like just the thing.
I'm home.
Hello?
Hello?
Hello.
Charlotte:
"The Haze woman."
"The fat cow"?
"The obnoxious Mama"?
Well, the "old, stupid Haze woman" is no longer your dupe.
Humbert:
Charlotte...
Charlotte:
You're a monster.
You're a despicable, criminal monster.
Humbert:
Now...
Charlotte:
If you come near me, I'll scream out the window.
Get away from me! I'm leaving tonight.
You can keep this house, I don't care...
but you will never see that miserable brat ever again.
Now, get out of my sight!
Humbert:
Charlotte, you mustn't... do that... you mustn't ruin our lives.
That's... just a...
just a fragment of a novel I'm writing.
I used your name in those just for convenience.
I'll get us a drink.
Nice stiff drink, clear both our heads.
(phone rings)
Humbert:
Charlotte, I've made us a nice stiff drink.
Yes?
That's ridiculous.
There's a man on the phone saying you've been killed, Charlotte.
Charlotte?
I'm sorry...
(Goes outside, Charlotte lying dead on road)
Police Man:
Stand back, please.
Humbert:
Where's my wife?
Police Man:
Are you Mr. Humbert?
Humbert:
I am.
Driver:
I didn't even see her.
Sir?
Coroner:
I'm sorry, sir. Is this Mrs. Humbert?
Sir... is this Mrs. Humbert?
Humbert:
Oh, God.
Oh, God... oh, God.
Young Girl:
She was walking to the mailbox.
She was going to mail these letters.
I'm sorry.
Humbert:
Thank you.
Coroner:
Going... to lie down, officer. Would that be all right?
Police Man:
You go right ahead.
Humbert:
I'll just be across in the house...
(dial tone)
Humbert:
Is that the Enchanted Hunters Hotel?
Yes, this is Mr. Humbert.
Tomorrow night. Just the one night, please.
Yes, a room with twin beds.
For two... well, one and a half people, really...
it's just for me and my...
my short... my small daughter.
Camp Mistress:
She should be here any minute.
I sent Charlie for her, over at the barn.
Humbert:
Who's Charlie?
Come on, come on...
Camp Mistress:
It's such a pleasure to watch our young people make friends.
Humbert:
So, who is this Charlie?
Camp Mistress:
Here she is.
Dolores:
Hi, Dad.
(sings)”Mum and Hum, Hum and Mum..."
"Hum and Mum"... How's Mum?
Humbert:
Well, the doctors aren't quite sure...
It's something abdominal.
Dolores:
Abominable?
Humbert:
Abdominal.
She's in a special hospital in Lepingville.
So, I thought... we’d...
go over to Briceland...
spend the night, and... visit the hospital tomorrow...
or the next day.
So, did you have a good time at camp?
Dolores:
Um-hmm.
Humbert:
You know, I missed you.
I missed you a lot.
Dolores:
Well, I didn't miss you.
In fact, I've been revoltingly unfaithful to you.
But so what, 'cause you don't care about me anymore anyway.
Humbert:
Why do you think I don't care about you?
Dolores:
Well, you haven't kissed me yet, have you?
Humbert:
I'm sorry, officer...
Officer:
See a blue sedan...
same make as yours, they might have passed you back at the turn?
Humbert:
Oof... blue sedan... no, I don't think we...
Dolores:
We didn't see a blue sedan.
No, I don't think we did.
Are you sure it was blue?
Might have seen one that was more purple.
Or maybe it was more red.
Officer:
All right, all right, okay. Thank you.
Humbert:
Thank you.
Dolores:
Don't shoot, don't shoot.
Officer:
Welcome, sir.
Humbert:
Thank you.
The bag's in the back.
Dolores:
Wow, looks swank.
