Rosemont Page #2

I got in there today...

...at least the sheets are clean.

And get my my nightgown, robe

and slippers. Give them to her.

They can ah; strip off

their wet clothes...

...and the boy can bring them down

to me here.

My name is Brad, and ah,

this is Lisa.

The boy can wear a towel...

...until his clothes are dry unless

you want to lend him something.

The girl should get right into bed.

I'll have something hot in

15 minutes.

Now, don't just stand there.

Move!

Well, here we are.

The place is clean,

just like she said.

Sometimes it takes me a week

to find anything...

...when she gets done

straightening up in here.

We feel really bad about

taking your bed.

Yeah, she serious about a cot

in the storeroom?

There's not much else on this

end of the lodge anyway.

Frankly I don't mind sleeping

on a cot; I've slept on worse.

Bathroom is across the hall.

Yeah.

What?

I almost forgot.

- Want some?

- No thanks.

I'm... pregnant.

I'll leave you to it.

Welcome to Bizarro World.

So weird.

He works for her

but she cleans up for him?

- Yeah.

- What's up with that?

- I mean, are they doing it?

- Oh, trust me, not a chance.

So, what's they're deal.

They're probably asking

the same about us right now.

Not even, I bet you they're

just taking for granted that...

Yeah. Uh. I'm sorry about that.

It's just I couldn't face them

asking me...

...who's the father,

where's he at?

Hey, I didn't think it was the time

for explanations either.

Just dump them on the floor;

I'll be there in a minute.

And, here you are.

And here you are.

Thanks.

Anything else you need?

No, ma'am.

- This is amazing.

- It's just lamb stew.

It's incredible lamb stew though.

Then tell your wife to eat it.

Ah, she, she's not my wife,

we're not even...

No, I don't need

the whole life story.

Did you see that?

She won't even look at me

and he won't stop staring.

It's so creepy.

Yeah. But this is great stew;

you definitely got to try it.

All right.

That was the best lamb stew

I've ever had.

That was nothing.

All she cooks these days

is plain food.

Plain? This was incredible.

Don't get me wrong.

It's great, but back when...

You never even heard of

the Rosemont Lodge, have you?

No, ah can't say that I have.

Well, it stands to reason,

we've been closed for near to ah...

...18 years,

you would have been how old?

I would have been seven.

I was 47.

Man, that was a long,

long, long, long time ago.

So, you're saying the lodge

was...

...famous?

We had presidents here.

None while

they were in office...

...but we had Jimmy Carter's

whole family...

...after he was president,

and the Clinton's came...

...while he was still Governor

of Arkansas.

So, it was a hunting lodge?

Hunting, fishing, horseback riding,

ice-skating...

...sleigh riding

in the winter time.

Golf and Tennis in the summer.

Did I mention the King of Spain?

- No.

- Hell of a fisherman.

380 acres with every outdoor

activity that you could name...

...and do you know

what the biggest attraction was?

- Skiing and Snowboarding?

- No.

The food. Josie's cooking.

She got written up in

Gourmet magazine and such.

That was the reason people

came back...

...and the way that Josie made

every night a party.

No offense,

but it seems like she's...

I know, I know, nowadays you're

looking at a bitter old battleaxe.

And that bitter old battleaxe is

looking at a drunken...

...old windbag, a boy too stupid

not to drive a pregnant girl...

...out into a blizzard and

dump her in a ditch.

Did she eat?

- Yes, and it was...

...it was delicious.

- I want the two of you...

...out of here

first thing in the morning.

That's what we want, too.

Not going to be that easy.

There'll be snowdrifts up to

10 feet by morning in places.

We're plowed out

our own road before.

Not in snow this deep, and

you can't plow the highway.

The last time it dumped snow

like this...

...it took them eight days

to get around to the 64.

- Eight days?

- You just want to keep them...

...captive

so you can talk their ears off.

I want them out tomorrow.

No, it's okay, come on in.

I'm still awake.

If I could sleep in this house

with those two.

He's not too bad.

She's crazy.

Really scary.

Yeah.

It's funny, she cooks us

a great meal, washes our clothes...

...and it's like she wants

to strangle us the whole time.

What is up with that?

All right, look,

I can sleep on the floor.

No, no, it's okay.

There's plenty of room.

At least they'll think we're

boyfriend and girlfriend.

Never had a chance

to say otherwise.

All right.

Ready for me to turn out the light.

Yeah. Go for it.

Like the first night with

a new roommate.

Yeah, like the first night

at band camp.

Can you believe,

this is still just the day...

...I met you at the coffee shop...

...while you were

on the phone with Sylvia.

Sylvia! God she'd go ballistic

right now if she saw me.

But yeah, it just not feel like

the same day.

No way.

Alright. Well...

...good night.

Good night.

Stay on your side.

You're up awfully early.

- Yeah.

- Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

Sure, why not.

Black?

Came to see if there's ah,

anything I can do to help.

Well, actually, there is.

You feel like a little exercise

before breakfast?

Care for a little eye opener?

No thank you.

This is sick.

Do I get to drive it?

- Do you know how?

- I can learn.

Well, if you really want

to work up an appetite...

...before breakfast, take this flag

down to the front gate.

It's for snowplows, it let's them

know to plow our road...

...and Dear God, don't forget

to take off the chain.

But what if they don't come

for eight days?

They might come sooner,

you never know.

And it would be a hell of a lot

simpler if they'd plow us out...

...than us trying to dig our way

out with this little guy.

Girl?

Lisa?

Lisa!

Lisa!

Where are they?

Well, I sent Brad down to the front

gate with the snowplow flag.

Then where is the girl?

Lisa!

- Lisa!

- Lisa!

Lisa!

Listen, you can follow her tracks,

go and get her.

Lisa!

Lisa!

Lisa!

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

- Where are you going?

- Hey, let me go.

Look around you.

Where are you going?

There's nothing.

What, do you want to kill yourself?

I don't know, maybe.

Just yesterday you were crying...

...because you thought

the car crash killed you.

I was relieved about

the car crash killed me.

I was crying because

I was still alive.

Kid, I'm old and I'm freezing...

...can we please go back

to the lodge now?

Come on.

- Hey...

- Come on.

Come on.

- It's all right, it's okay.

- Please, let me...

- Come on.

- It's okay. Come on.

There you go.

You rest.

Everything will be all right.

Now she has a fever.

What in the world did you do

to that girl?

Nothing.

I only met her yesterday.

What? You met her...

No! She asked for a ride

and I gave her one.

Oh, why didn't you tell me?

Because you never gave me

a chance to.
