Nell Page #4

Jerry and Nell, the happy couple?

What would you

know about happy couples?

Well, what would you know about Nell?

I've spent more time

with her than you have

Oh, yeah, I noticed

What's that supposed to mean?

You ever ask yourself why you

like hanging around Nell so much?

- Great! Here we go again!

- She's not exactly a grown woman, is she?

- Not exactly a threat. Doesn't make any demands.

- You want to know what you problem is?

- I'll tell you what your problem is

- Just what every man wants!

- You're the big expert on men, right?

- You're not a man

- You're just a biob!

- What'd you do, read a book about it?

God!

Okay, Nell. It's okay

Nell, Nell, Nell.

It's okay, it's okay. Nell

Say something.

Make her feel it's okay

Mommy loves Daddy, really

Whatever I said back there...

I'm sorry, I was just sounding off

- It's okay

- What do I know?

So what are we gonna do about Nell?

She's gonna have to take some kinda

competency test before a court hearing

Those tests don't prove a...

I know

It's time to show her the big bad world

and see how she handles it

Okay. Hold still

Loo', Je'y. Jus' like Pau'

Slow down

It's all right. It's noisy, though

Mommy

This is it, Nell

- Well, what do you say, Jerry?

- Hi, Todd

You know Doctor Olsen

- Oh, yeah. Hi

- Hey, how you doing?

- Well, look at this

- Nell this is Sheriff Peterson

Uh, welcome to Robbinsville

So how are you guys doing,

Todd? Okay?

- Ah, well quiet. Uh, I've known worse

- Hi, Mary?

Hi. All this is kinda new to her

You scared?

You scared?

Well, you sleeping pretty

good up there in the mountains?

I'm not as young as I used to be

Well, we better get on home. Uh, looks

like you're doing good work there, Jerry

Just starting

I'm not getting her this

She hasn't eaten junk like this yet,

and I'm not having her start now

Don't you remember

eating candy as a kid?

Saturday mornings, tearing

the wrapper off a Milky Way?

The first explosion of total sweetness?

Life doesn't get any better

- Right, Hazel?

- Yes

- You still got all your own teeth?

- Yeah, mostly

Wher2's Nell?

Nell?

Nell?

Nell?

Nell?

Jim!

We got us a wild woman

Flesh and blood

Well, what does she want anyway?

Well, I tell ya,

I believe she wants a little action

Get going, Billy

Hi there, baby

Anything I can do ya for?

Now, you'll have to excuse me.

Just correct me if I'm wrong here

Miss... Miss Wild Thing, but you

you don't understand

a word I'm saying, do you?

That's right

You don't understand

a word that I'm saying, do you?

That's right

And it's getting a little bit

hot in here, Jim

Why don't you just light my fire?

You light my fire darling, that's right

Oh, that's it

You want, you wanna

show me something?

You, you want to show me them tit...?

Them are titties. Can you say "titties"?

Tit-, titties? Titties?

That's right, shake 'em up.

That's right, turn all about, right

That's a girl. Turn all around,

do the titty dance

That's right. Hey! I got an idea. You

want to see my body? What you want?

Whoo, titties! Titties!

Let's do the titty dance!

You put your left titty...

Put your right titty... No, no...

Put your right titty in...

Nell?

Nell!

What's going on here?

What'd you do to her?!

What'd you do to her?!

There don't have to be no ass-whupping.

You just take a look right over here

She's just crazy.

Nell, come on. Shh-shh-shh, Nell.

Shh. Come on. let's go, let's go

- She still looking at it?

- Yeah

Did your parents do this for you?

You gotta be kidding me. My mother'd

die before she'd give me a book like that

No way. Uh-uh

So how'd you learn?

Go on. Tell Dr. Lovell

Girlfriends at school

So what about you?

- Well

- Come on, don't be shy. Come on

Bathroom walls

- Bathroom walls?

- Je'y?

Nell?

How yo' caw this?

Well making love

- Je'y?

- Well, not exactly

Pau'?

Yeah, that's right.

That's Jerry and Paula

Making love

It has to help Nell if we look on

as if we're getting along

That's why I let her identify us with

the pictures. I hope you don't mind

Nope

Research shows that children who perceive

their parents as having a good sex life...

grow up to make far better

sexual relationships themselves

Is that so?

Yeah, that's so

Did your parents have a good sex life?

Three guesses

What went wrong?

My daddy left home

when I was thirteen

My mom still doesn't know why

She was always laughing and smiling

We were all supposed to be

having such a good time

My dad liked happy people,

and so she was happy for him

She was so hurt. Sh*t

You know what I hate?

The way we're all

we're all trapped in these cycles,

going around and around

I doesn't seem to me like

you're repeating the same pattern

Oh, sure. I'm just playing the flip side,

right? Nobody's gonna hurt me, so...

so I don't...

I don't feel that much

Even when I want to

Sh*t!

Nell, wha...?

Is anything the matter?

An'thin' a' matter?

An'thin' a' matter?

Donana kee

I'm not, I'm not crying

Oh, hell. Yes, I am

Paula?

Paula?

You okay?

Fine

You wanna come?

Well, it's a pretty walk

I just saw a T.V. news outfit in town.

It's not gonna take 'em long

Listen to this

"The wild woman never spent a dollar

in her life, but she's worth millions"

Where do they get this sh*t?

We have to get her outta here

The hospital

You know it's the only place

where they can't get to her

Get away!

Get those cameras the hell outta here!

Get away!

Let her go, Mary. We have to go

Nell, listen to me, Listen to me, Nell.

We have to leave! Just for a while

Nell. I know you're scared...but I'll be

with you, I'll keep you safe. I promise

Nell...Jerry ga'inja

- Je'y ga'inja

- That's right. Come on,

Come on, we have to leave

Okay? All right

Hold on

Excuse me

Almost there.

We're almost there

Nell. Nell. Nell.

It's okay. Nell

You'll have to carry her

It's gonna be all right.

It's gonna be all right...

It's all right...it's all right, Nell

It's all right...Nell

It's all right...Nell!

Nell!

All right, all right, now let us take her.

Easy, easy, easy

Hey, hey, hey, hey! Hey, easy, wait!

Come on...

Back off! Back off!

- Settle down, everybody, quiet!!!

- No sedatives

We don't...want to set

the whole ward off here

You can go in to see her

just as soon as you're... quiet

Come on, Nell, It's Jerry

This is not her normal behavior

She hasn't freaked out like on this

for weeks, Al. You saw the damn tapes

I'm not happy about this, Paula

She's out of her familiar environment

You've had almost three months

I want her in here, so we can begin what

we should have been doing from the start

I must have been out of

my mind to bring her here

She needs time, Al, that's all

Come on

Well, we've got the weekend

Maybe by Monday I'll feel happier

Maybe not

They'll shut you away!

Show them how you really are!

Please

My beloved is gone

down into his garden

to the beds of spices,

to feed in the gardens

and to gather lilies.

I am my beloved
