My Summer of Love Page #3

Synopsis: A tale of obsession and deception, and the struggle for love and faith in a world where both seem impossible. The film charts the emotional and physical hothouse effects that bloom one summer for two young women: Mona, behind a spiky exterior, hides an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of her daily life; Tamsin is well-educated, spoiled and cynical. Complete opposites, each is wary of the other's differences when they first meet, but this coolness soon melts into mutual fascination, amusement and attraction. Adding volatility is Mona's older brother Phil, who has renounced his criminal past for religious fervor - which he tries to impose upon his sister. Mona, however, is experiencing her own rapture. "We must never be parted," Tamsin intones to Mona but can Mona completely trust her?

But I've prayed for her, Lord.

I've prayed 'cause I love her.

And I know that the Lord

is answering my prayers.

He answers all our prayers. Yeah.

Praise be the Lord.

I praise you, Lord Jesus.

Thank you, Lord.

Yes, Lord.

Thank you, Lord Jesus.

Praise your name, Lord. I

praise your name, Lord Jesus.

Yes, Lord.

Do you really think that

there's darkness in the valley?

Absolutely, yeah. There's

darkness everywhere.

What, like the Devil?

Yeah, I know that I was filled

with the Devil at one point.

What were you like?

I wasn't a really nice guy.

I'd think nothing of putting

a glass in your face...

or punching you on the nose.

And it's the Devil that did that?

The Devil drove me, yeah.

The Devil just wants you to do bad

things, then he's got a grip of you.

It must be interesting

to believe in something.

Yeah.

But remember, there's Devil...

and there's God, and He's

far more powerful anyway.

I am the Devil...

and I have come to kill you.

I am possessed and I will

show you that you are evil.

I have come to the

valley to make you suffer.

I'm laying my hands on you, devil spawn.

As a child of Jesus, I am

ripping this seed from your body.

The Devil will leave your body.

Spirits, is anyone else there?

Did you push that?

You pushed that. I bloody did not.

Who is it?

S.

A.

D.

Sad? Who the f***'s Sad?

I.

E.

Sadie.

I'm not moving it.

I swear I'm not.

Sadie, is that you?

I don't think we should carry on.

Are you in peace?

No.

Why are you not in peace?

D.

A.

D.

Do you blame Dad,

Sadie? Do you blame Dad?

Yes.

It's bollocks.

No, it's not.

He didn't love her enough,

that's why she died.

There's still hair on it.

It's like she's still here.

Mushrooms.

We can commune with Sadie.

Open.

# When we sway I go weak #

# I can hear the sounds of violins #

# Long before it begins #

Ricky.

# As only you know how #

# Sway me smooth, sway me now #

F***'s sake, Mona.

Sorry about that.

Come on, you two, out you go.

Thank you, good man.

Go on. Oh, yeah.

Get out.

I love you all. Bye.

Get out!

Thank you.

We must never be parted.

Do you hear me? Yeah.

Are you listening to me? Yeah.

We're gonna spend the

rest of our lives together.

I know.

If you leave me, I'll kill you.

If you leave me, I'll kill you...

and then I'll kill myself.

I love you.

I love you.

Tam.

I found loads of

blackcurrants for breakfast.

I've got loads more in me

pockets. I've only had a couple.

I don't care how many

blackcurrants you've got, Mona...

it's not enough for breakfast.

I know. I'm f***ing freezing.

I've been bitten to sh*t.

I just want to go home.

I'm sick of this place.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's go back.

Luxor.

It's in Egypt.

Why would you wanna go there?

O-M...

S-K.

Omsk.

It's in Siberia.

It's your brother.

Just ignore him. He'll go away.

He's a very attractive

man, your brother.

I'll seek some spiritual

guidance from him.

Yeah, go on. It'll be funny.

Hello.

Hiya.

Hi.

Is Mona here with you? No,

but she'll be back in a moment.

Right.

Why don't you wait here?

Would that be okay? Yeah.

Thanks.

You can wait in the

sitting room. Thanks.

Actually, there is something

I wanted to talk to you about.

I have a real problem

believing in anything.

Or anyone.

But I can't stop thinking

about that day on the hill...

when you made that speech...

and the way you spoke.

And everything you said,

I just believed you.

That's because God was

speaking through me.

And the Lord is the truth.

And everything you were

saying about the Devil...

and all the demons.

And you really believed in it. Yeah.

I were riddled with demons.

And what did you do?

I asked Jesus Christ

to come into my life.

I asked Him to free me from

all the guilt, sin, fear.

And He came in and He washed it away.

And He can do the same for you.

But He never speaks to me.

You've got to pray to Him.

Ask Him to come into your heart...

and He will.

He's a gentle God.

He's a God of love...

and He knows you.

He knows every hair on your head.

I can't feel Him.

I can't feel anything.

I just feel empty.

The Lord can fill you up.

He's in this room now...

and He wants to be close to you.

And He wants you to ask

Him to come into your heart.

He wants to reach out and touch you.

And He wants you to feel Him.

He wants to come inside you...

and overwhelm you with joy.

I want Him to.

Do not resist him. I won't.

You're too easy, you f***ing fraud.

Tam!

Tam.

Mona. What?

Look at me.

Come here.

I'm sorry I got violent, okay?

Is that it? No.

There's something with that

girl going on inside her.

There's things driving her.

You saw what happened to me, didn't you?

I want you to promise me

you'll stay away from her.

I love her. She loves me.

We're going away together, forever.

And we are never coming back.

Phil?

What are you doing?

Phil, don't lock it, you bastard!

Phil, please.

Phil.

Phil?

Can you open the door? Please.

Phil? Don't leave me, Lord.

Father, we just pray...

that You will just help

us in our prayers now.

Lord, just lead us and help us, Father.

Lord, we want to lift Mona

before You, Father God.

We just pray, Father, that You

just reach into her life, Father.

That You will start to untangle

some of that mess, Father...

that confusion in her mind,

the tangled mess of emotions.

Lord, that You put the words into his

heart, into his mouth, Father, that...

he will be able to show the love

of Jesus to his sister, Father.

That through him, Lord, she will receive

Your love and Your understanding, Father.

Can you shut up?

Lord, we glorify You.

That's right, Lord.

We bless what You're doing.

Bless what You're doing.

You bastard!

I'll be back.

No.

Mona.

You stupid girl.

You stupid girl.

Yeah? Aren't you?

You're a stupid girl.

Don't do this to me.

I love you.

I am the Antichrist...

and I will never die.

It's okay, mate. F*** off.

Chill. Chill out.

Come on, we'll pray for you.

I'd like.... Just f***ing go.

Chill out. Go.

Calm it down, brother. Don't

f***ing touch me. Get out.

We're leaving. Go!

You're a bunch of

fakers. Go on, get out!

Go on, f*** off. Take

your f***ing Bibles. Go on.

Get out! F***ing move.

Move it. Get out. F*** off.

And take your f***ing books with you.

You're all fakers. Come on.

Bye.

Tammy?

What's going on, Tam?

I'm going back to school.

Excuse me.

Can I have my top back, please?

You're Sadie?

Yeah.

Can I have my top, please?

I've got to go back to school, Mona.

You've always known that.

Look, I couldn't be myself back

there in front of my mother.

Anyway, I was just playing

a part. That wasn't even me.

Come on, you know me.

You know me.

And don't be upset about

Sadie. Sadie was just....

Sadie was just a bit of poetic

license. I mean, I'm a fantasist.

You can't tell me we haven't had fun.

I've never met anyone like you.

Please don't be angry with me.

What the f*** are you doing?

You f***ing crazy b*tch!
