Rosemary's Baby Page #9

Hey, watch out, lady!

"In some cults it was believed...

that a personal possession

of the victim was necessary...

and spells could not be cast...

without one of the victim's belongings."

- Yeah?

- Is this Donald Baumgart?

- That's right.

- This is Rosemary Woodhouse.

- Oh.

- Guy Woodhouse's wife?

- Oh, yes.

- I wanted to know...

My God, you must be

a happy little lady these days, huh?

Living in the Bram.

Rows of uniformed lackeys.

I wanted to know how you are,

if there's been any improvement.

Well, bless your heart.

Guy Woodhouse's wife, huh?

Well, I'm splendid.

I've only broke six glasses today.

Guy and I are both very unhappy...

that he got his break

because of your misfortune.

Well, what the hell, huh?

That's the way it goes, right?

I'm sorry I didn't come along

that day he came to visit you.

Vi... Visit? No.

Oh, you mean the day we met for drinks, huh?

- Yes, that's what I meant.

- Right, right.

By the way, he has something of yours, you know.

What do you mean?

- Don't you... Don't you know?

- No.

Didn't you miss anything that day?

You... You don't mean

my tie, do you?

- Yes.

- Oh. Well...

Well, he's got mine, and I've got his.

- He can have it back.

- I'm sor...

It doesn't matter to me now what, uh...

color tie I'm wearing.

I didn't understand.

I thought he'd only borrowed it.

No, no, no, no.

It was... It was a trade.

Or do you think he stole it?

I have to hang up now.

I just wanted to know

if there'd been any improvement.

No. No, there isn't.

It was nice of you to call. Bye.

You aren't in labor, are you?

No, but I have to see the doctor.

It's very important.

Well, he has to leave at 5:00,

and there is Mrs. Byron.

- I'm sure he'll see you. Just sit down.

- Thank you.

How is it out there?

- Oh, awful. Ninety-four.

- Uh!

- See you next week.

Make an appointment.

- Yes, I will.

- You're due any day now, aren't you?

- Tuesday.

- You're smart to get it over with

before August.

- Yeah.

Mrs. Byron.

He'll see you right after.

- Thank you.

- Let's see.

- July the 10th?

- Um, what time?

- 4:
00?

- Fine.

- All righty.

- See you then.

- Thank you.

- Bye-bye.

- Bye. Good luck.

Thank you.

Mmm. That smells nice.

What is it?

Oh, my...

It's called Detchema.

Mm.

Well, it's a big improvement...

on your regular, if you don't mind my saying.

That wasn't a perfume. That was

a good-luck charm. I threw it away.

Good. Maybe the doctor

will follow your example.

- Dr. Sapirstein?

- He has the aftershave.

But it isn't, is it?

I don't think he has a good-luck charm.

Anyway, he has the same smell

once in a while, whatever it is...

and when he does... oh, boy!

Haven't you ever noticed?

No.

Maybe you thought it was

your own you were smelling.

What is it, a chemical thing?

Will you excuse me a moment, please?

My husband is waiting outside.

I have to go and tell him something.

I'll be back in a minute.

- Dr. Hill's office.

- Dr. Hill, please.

This is his answering service.

Would you like to leave a message?

Ye... Uh, yes.

My name is Rosemary Woodhouse.

Woodhouse.

And, um, would you ask him

to call me back right away, please?

Uh, my number is...

475-2598.

It's an emergency.

I'm in a phone booth.

All right.

Quickly please, Dr. Hill.

Call me.

Oh... Oh, really?

Did... did he really say that?

Oh, he didn't say that!

What else was it that he said?

Oh, that... that's wonderful.

That's won...

That's mar... marvelous.

- - Yes, Dr. Hill?

Did I get the name right?

Is it Rosemary Woodhouse?

- Yes.

- Are you Dr. Hill's patient?

No. Uh, yes.

I mean, well, I've seen him once.

Um, please, please tell him

he has to speak to me.

It's important.

Tell him to call me, hmm?

- All right.

- Thank you.

All of them. All of them.

All in it together.

All of them...

All of Them Witches.

Don't you worry, little Andy or Jenny.

I'll kill them before I let them touch you.

- - Yes? Doctor...

- Mrs. Woodhouse?

- Yes.

Oh, thank you, thank you for calling me.

- I thought you were in California.

- No.

No, I've been to another doctor...

and he isn't good, Dr. Hill.

He's been lying to me and giving me...

unusual kinds of drinks and capsules.

The baby's due on Tuesday.

Remember you told me June 28?

- Well, I want you to deliver it.

- Mrs. Woodhouse...

No, please, let me...

let me talk to you.

Let me come and explain what's been going on.

I can't stay too long here.

They'll be coming looking for me.

Dr. Hill?

Dr. Hill, there's a plot.

I know that sounds crazy.

You're probably thinking...

"My God, this poor girl

has really flipped."

But I haven't flipped, Dr. Hill.

I swear by all the saints I haven't.

There are plots against people, aren't there?

Yes, I suppose there are.

Well, there's one against me and my baby.

Come to my office tomorrow

after 5:
00, and we'll...

Now. Right now.

Mrs. Woodhouse, I'm not

at my office now. I'm home.

- I've been up since yesterday morning...

- I beg you!

I beg you.

I can't stay here.

- My office at 8:00.

- Yes. Thank you.

- All right.

- Oh, wait. Dr. Hill?

- Yes?

- My husband may call you and ask if...

I'm not gonna speak to anyone.

I'm gonna take a nap.

Thank you.

Keep the change.

Driver, please, could you wait and watch...

until I'm inside the door?

He lied to you.

He said we were going to Hollywood.

The worst thing of all...

he's involved with them as well.

He sleeps in pajamas now.

He never used to before.

He's probably hiding a mark.

You know, they give you marks when you join.

All sorts of rituals.

They hold sabbaths there.

You could hear them singing through the wall.

Guy... my husband, Guy...

said it was Dr. Shand...

one of these people, playing a recorder.

Now, how did he know it was Dr. Shand

unless he was there with them?

Uh, they're very clever people.

They planned everything

right from the beginning.

They probably made some sort of deal with Guy.

They gave him success, and he promised them...

our baby to use in their rituals.

I know this sounds crazy, but I've...

I've got books here.

Look.

There was another actor like him,

Donald Baumgart...

and they put a spell on him.

They cast a spell on him and made him blind...

so that Guy could get his part.

Look. Here.

I had this friend, Edward Hutchins.

Maybe you heard of him.

A writer.

He wrote stories for boys.

Anyway, he was my good friend

since I first came to New York.

- May I keep this?

- Yes, please.

And, uh, anyway...

once Mr. Hutchins came to visit me.

Came to visit me. It was the time

I was having this pain, Doctor.

I was suffering so... You can't imagine

how much I was suffering.

And they wouldn't help me.

Nobody would.

They were giving me a drink

with tannis root in it...

also witches' stuff, tannis root.

Hutch came, and he immediately

saw something was wrong.

He knew about witches, you see?

Suddenly, Guy rushed in with his makeup

still on, which he never did.

They probably called him to come home...
