- That's a good

attitude, I like that.

Anything else?

- No, one is more than enough.

Besides, I don't let others pay

for it.

- You let me.

Is this the right place?

- Yeah, place in the picture

from what I can see right now.

- Wow.

Looks a bit creepy.

- Yeah.

Whatever you just got stays

on the cutting room floor.

- Okay.

- Hey Manny.

- Oh hey, hey, so you got there

already?

- Yeah, we arrived, we

are in the motel room.

- Oh yeah, that guy.

- Adam.

His name is Adam.

- So where is Adam?

- He's in the shower now.

- Oh, is he?

- Silly you.

Don't be ridiculous.

See?

Separate beds.

- There's no problem, it's okay.

- I know exactly why I'm

here so you had better...

- I just don't think this is a

good idea.

Not like this, not so soon.

- Everything is going to be

alright.

If I make up my mind...

- look have you got enough

money?

- Sure.

No problem.

- Okay, let's talk again

tomorrow, this Adam

doesn't appeal to me.

- He's alright, there won't

be any problem with him.

- Okay, it's 2am, someone's

knocking on my door.

I heard some noises from the

garden.

Tell you I'm not amazed by this

place.

Thora?

Thora?

Thora?

Okay.

She's asleep, I should do, I

guess.

Okay, shut this, shut this.

Heard something from the garden

I think.

Oh.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Sh*t.

Thora wake up!

Wake up!

Sh*t.

Wake up.

F***.

F***.

What the hell?

Not a good joke, it's not a

good joke, it's not a good joke.

Sh*t.

Is anyone there?

Who's there?

Who's there?

F*** you, idiot!

F*** you!

Sh*t.

Think you're funny?

- Maybe it was an animal,

or a homeless by the window.

- And they just happened

to try and sneak a peek

in the middle of the night,

right?

- No idea.

- Did you see the footage?

Did you see the footage?

- Yeah, yeah, I told you I saw

it, okay?

I don't know what that was

or what you might have heard.

- I saw it and I heard it.

Probably it was another guest

with a bad sense of humor, but

it was 2am,

can you believe that?

- Were you scared?

- No I wasn't.

- You weren't?

- I don't know how you would

have reacted.

- Whatever.

I slept pretty well.

- I'm happy for you.

How far are we from our

destination?

- If the map is right then this

road

and the right by the signpost.

- Right by the signpost, great.

- Come on, Adam.

Don't get all pissed off about

it.

It happens.

Maybe just there were someone

messing around in our dorm.

Or maybe there were some kids

who just couldn't sleep.

- Maybe.

Whatever.

Someone from the university?

- No.

It was my mother.

- Would you like to talk

about it or something?

- First time I met her was

when I was 18 years old.

She bailed you know when I was

born.

And then she just reappeared

from nowhere

after my graduation.

She brought me some flowers

and a box of chocolates.

Get this?

I never even seen her

in my whole childhood

and she just brings me

some f***ing chocolate.

And I've hated chocolate ever

since.

Do you even know a woman

who doesn't like chocolate?

I don't think so.

- My mother hated it.

- Really?

- Yeah.

She passed away.

- When?

- Three years ago.

She was sick.

- I'm so sorry.

- Whoa whoa whoa whoa.

- Ah, what is he doing

in the middle of the road?

- Sh*t.

Okay okay okay.

What is he saying?

- He's saying something.

- What?

- What?

I can't hear you!

Are you okay?

A**hole.

- Okay okay okay.

- What?

- Be careful, be careful.

- He's trying to say something.

- What?

- Are you okay?

- Sh*t.

Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

Get back to the car, Thora.

- Everything's alright.

This guy was crazy.

- Wow, wow.

Are we lost?

- No, we are not lost.

- I think we are lost.

- We're not lost, okay?

This road is not familiar,

that's it.

We can get those into use

tomorrow, no need to hurry.

Everything is going to be

alright, okay?

- Okay.

- This seems to be the right

way.

- Yeah, seems.

- We'll head through this

road and there will be

forest motel this way.

- It's goddamn amazing.

Really amazing.

- Stop it, okay?

Everything is perfect.

- Mm hmm.

Then let's get going

before it gets dark, okay?

- Don't worry about a motel.

We'll have all those

things we are here for

and then we'll go home.

- Good.

Whoa.

- What's that?

- Cars, cars, cars.

- Cars.

- That's nice.

Show me how happy you are.

That's nice.

Whoa whoa whoa.

- Nobody?

- No.

Just stop somewhere.

- We'll just check the cars.

- Yeah.

What the hell is?

- What the hell is this?

- Everything's covered in this.

Sh*t.

- Let's just call the

police, try your phone, Adam.

- Try my phone, and what am

I supposed to do with it?

I don't know Hungarian.

- Someone?

Is anyone around there?

Nothing?

- No.

- There's nobody here.

This place is abandoned.

What?

- Come on!

- I heard something.

I heard some kind of clicking

noise.

- F***.

- Are you nervous?

- If you won't then I'll say it.

I don't think that was sawdust.

- Then what was that?

- Ever squashed a moth

before it could dine

on your favorite evening gown?

- I don't really have a gown.

- Actually, I don't give a

f*** if you do or do not.

I don't care at all.

Abandoned cars by the road.

Half a pair of kid's shoes.

In the red car I could see

the driver's ass print even.

You checked the map, here we

are in the middle of nowhere.

- I believe we are almost there.

- You said that an hour ago.

But look at our fuel.

I haven't seen a gas station for

hours.

By the way, nothing and no

one, except for the hobo.

Well, this is not the place

where we are supposed to be,

right?

Must have been abandoned

20 years ago or more.

- Look at this.

- Thora please, not now.

- Pretty nasty.

- It's nasty but it's

getting dark

and we won't know where to

sleep.

- I can recognize the building.

I wrote down the name of

the place and the motel too.

Stop freaking out.

- Thora.

- What a beautiful place.

Must have been a theater.

Amazing.

Pretty freaky.

Adam?

Adam?

F*** you.

The middle of the forest.

Hello?

Hello?

Is there anyone here?

Wow.

Hello.

Hello Adam, hey.

- We should get back to the car,

you know.

- Uh huh.

Someone's over there!

- What?

- Over there, in the bushes!

- That way?

- Yes!

Stop, there, to the left!

- Nobody's here.

- There must

be somebody, I saw it.

- I said nobody's here!

Just come down!

- There.

- Pretty f***ing grainy.

- There on the right.

You see?

- What the f***?

- Maybe it was a bum.

Yeah it has to be a bum.

You just wouldn't believe,

it was full of garbage, the

rooms and the corridors.

It has to be a hobo paradise.

- Mm hmm, mm hmm.

- Should already be there.

- I was waiting for you to say

that.

Oh my god.

Well that's just f***ing

fantastic.

- Okay, I check it.

I'm so sorry.

- We'll figure this out somehow.

- I saw a road to

the right but we took a left.

Maybe we should have turned the

other way.

- Yeah, maybe.

- But let's not

go back there today, okay?

- Why?

I just turn around and look

for the byway, that's all.
