Remember Page #3

Sir, would you like me to do that?

Sir, are you okay?

Would you like to head up to your room now?

Okay.

- Can I help you find anything?

- Oh, yes.

I want to buy a new shirt.

We have a great deal

on short-sleeve button downs.

- Yeah?

- Can I show you?

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

You can always find the best deals

at the end of the season.

Oh, right.

(alarm blaring)

Excuse me, sir.

You set off the alarm.

I'm gonna have to check your bag.

Oh. Do I look like a thief?

Oh, it doesn't matter, sir,

you set off the alarm.

I've got to check your bag

no matter what, so...

There's the receipt.

Oh, there's your problem right there.

They left the security tag on.

I'll have to check your other bag too, sir.

Is that a Glock?

Yeah.

(chuckles)

Reminds me of my first gun.

(bag zipping)

You have a good day, sir.

There you go. Thanks very much.

Thank you. Thank you...

(elevator bell dings)

(scattered applause)

(coughing)

(breathing shakily)

(coughing)

(woman):
Would you like a refill?

- Yes. Thank you.

- You're very welcome.

(children screaming)

Could you tell me how far

is Bruneau is from here?

I've never actually been to Bruneau,

but it's in Owyhee County,

so, I'd say that should probably take you

about 30, 40 minutes or so.

- Oh.

- I heard it's beautiful country down there.

I never get to go but my friends...

(children screaming)

- on!

- Ah.

Oh, I'm so sorry!

I got coffee on your letter.

Oh, God.

No, you're ruining my letter!

- No, no, no!

- I'm sorry.

This letter is very important!

Stop! Stop! Stop!

(hair dryer whirring)

"Besides me,"

"you are the only person"

"who can still recognize"

"the face of the man"

"who murdered our families."

(dog barking)

(knocking on door)

(dog continues barking)

- Nobody's home?

- No.

You want me to take you

somewhere else?

- No, no, no. I will wait.

- Here.

Give me a call whenever you want me

to come back and get you.

What do I owe you?

Oh, you already paid me, remember?

Just call me if you need a ride later.

(siren wailing in distance)

(explosion)

(dog barking)

Morning.

Morning to you too, sweetie.

(dog continues barking)

Yeah...

Dinner time, Mr. Rosenbaum.

Uh...

Bring me back some food, yeah?

Are you sure? You haven't been

outside the apartment all day.

- Yes.

- Okay.

(sighs)

Can I help you with something?

I'm looking for Rudy Kurlander.

Well, you came

to the right place but, uh...

My old man passed away

about three months ago.

Oh, I didn't know this.

I am so sorry.

Hmm...

How long have you been waiting here?

All day.

You want a drink?

A drink would be nice.

Come on in.

I could use another drink myself.

(chuckles)

- Thank you.

- Beer or a water?

Just water, please.

Oh, Eva. Good girl. Good girl.

Listen, I am a little scared of dogs.

Eva's all bark and no bite.

Come on in.

But I'm sure that's true

but I'm... I'm quite scared.

Oh, I'll put her away for you. Okay.

Here we go. Good girl.

Quiet, girl. Eva!

Eva, shush, quiet.

(shushing)

Girl, quiet. Calm down, Eva. Shush.

Eva, shush. Shush.

Eva, calm down now. Calm down.

(indistinct chatter)

Quiet! (Door closing)

(sighs) (explosion)

That's my, urn, kid's graduation.

Dad always loved that photo.

- I'm gonna get... grab your water for you.

- Yeah.

When was that taken?

Your father looks so young.

That was, uh, in 1997.

- Oh.

- Yeah. Dad aged well, didn't he?

He always said that he was

one of the Kurlanders with good genes.

Here you go.

(Zev sighing)

Oh, you were thirstier than Eva.

(chuckles)

- Another one?

- Oh, please.

And then I won't bother you again.

Oh, no, no.

It's no bother at all.

Stay as long as you like.

Ever since, uh... since Dad died,

it's been pretty lonely out here.

You know,

I'm just driving around

doing my rounds, with nothing but the radio

and the occasional dispatch.

(dog barking)

It's good to have someone to talk to

when I come home.

Eva's great and all,

but not much for conversation.

Here's your water.

You're not married?

No, no. Have a seat.

I was, you know, twice.

The first one, uh, took my house,

the second one left before...

(sighs)

the quarry takes this one.

(laughing)

That was...

Ooh, hell, seven years already.

I wouldn't mind getting another one,

but Bruneau ain't exactly

the best singles scene

and, well, I ain't exactly the best single.

(chuckling)

Did your father ever talk to you

about Germany?

Are you kidding me?

He never stopped

talking about Germany.

Did he ever speak to you about the war?

Of course.

You know he was a collector, right?

Ah.

I got a bunch of his stuff.

You wanna go take a look?

Yeah.

Watch your step.

Just come down here.

(clears throat)

(sirens wailing in distance)

(explosion)

(dog barking) (shushing)

Eva, quiet! Eva, shh.

Hey, listen, uh,

it's kind of a mess in here.

Let me just move some boxes and I'll...

I'll let you in the other room.

(indistinct chatter)

(grunts)

Here we go.

There we go. There. Come on. Oh!

Come on in.

That was, uh...

that was Dad's pride and joy.

The dealer he bought it from swore it was

flying in Berlin on November 19, 1938.

Kristallnacht.

Kristallnacht. . . Yeah.

Dad used to say that that flag, um,

witnessed the beginning of history.

You know?

- What is in these boxes?

- Uh, just...

a bunch more of Dad's prize pieces.

You know?

I already sold

most of the collection

but, uh, these are the things

he was sentimental about.

Just haven't been able

to let myself get rid of 'em, you know?

You wanna look around?

You wanna look around?

- Thank you.

- Yeah.

Yeah, that was a first printing.

A guy offered me six grand for it

but I just... just couldn't part with it.

I guess I'm just as sentimental

as my old man, huh?

(chuckles)

You're welcome to look around

at... at anything you like.

I'm just gonna give

Eva her dinner.

(Eva barking)

Quiet! Shh!

Priceless, right?

Yeah.

I guess I shouldn't leave it

stuffed in a box like that.

(sniffling)

(sighing)

You want another drink?

Yes. That would be good.

More water,

or something a little stronger?

Maybe something

a little stronger.

All right.

Now you're speaking my language.

(chuckles)

Yeah...

To Dad.

(glasses tinkling)

You know, my dad was, uh...

My dad was there that night.

- What night was that?

- Um, Kristal...

- Kristallnacht.

- Yeah. Kristallnacht.

Yeah, he said he had a hammer

and he broke a bunch

of jewelry store windows.

He ever tell you that story? No.

No? (Chuckles)

I so wish you were here

when he was still alive.

You know, every once in a while,

some of his buddies would come by

and they'd just sit around,

tell stories, drink, you know?

He loved to talk

about the old days.

You okay? You're sweating there.

- Oh, I feel a little hot. Yes.

- Well, take your jacket off.

Come here. Mmm.

Yeah, take your jacket off and, hey,

I just want to tell you something.

- You are more than welcome...

- Oh.

To spend the night if you like, if
