Rosy

---

Okay.

I'm leaving.

JAMES:
Rosy...

Wait.

I'll get off just here

in the corner.

There you go.

Thank you.

(MUFFLED SCREAMING)

(CONTINUES SCREAMING)

( DISCO MUSIC PLAYING )

- MAN:
What's your name?

- Rosy.

I'm James.

So you're the girl

in the photos?

ROSY:
Yes.

That's me.

JAMES:

Well, I'm honored.

ROSY:
Don't be.

Marty's really not that good.

JAMES:
Well, I won't

tell him you said that,

because he's my best friend.

He's mine, too.

But he's never

mentioned you.

Come on, why

would he?

ROSY:
Where is he anyway?

Marty.

( MUSIC CONTINUES )

Are you a model?

God, no. No.

I'm an actress.

Oh.

Unofficially.

I'm in school for it.

It's a tough business.

Yeah, I can handle it.

I'm feisty.

(JAMES LAUGHS)

Yeah, I got that.

Can I say something?

Yes.

You are absolutely beautiful.

MARTY:
He's married.

- Mart.

- He's married.

We were just

looking for you.

- Yeah.

- Well, just in time.

So, is this your girlfriend?

This is my muse.

Oh. Oh, okay.

Is that gonna make

this awkward?

Make what awkward?

Our friendship.

Get out of here.

Where?

Scram.

Come on, now.

Settle down.

I loved the show.

Great job.

Thank you.

Thank you for coming.

Thank you for Rosy.

You're welcome.

Did you check out the

miniatures by the corner there?

Yeah, I loved them.

- Check 'em out.

- I will.

They're worth revisiting.

Oh, okay. Okay.

Thank you, James.

See you soon.

JAMES:

See you around.

MARTY:
Come on.

Don't look back.

ROSY:
I'm not.

MARTY:
You do not wanna

be talking to that guy.

ROSY:
Who is he?

MARTY:

He's a recovering alcoholic,

- gambler, sex addict...

- ROSY:
Stop.

(MOANS SOFTLY)

(EXCLAIMS)

(SOBBING)

(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING) Help!

Help!

Help!

Help!

(SOBBING)

(LOCK CLICKING)

Don't be scared.

(RETCHING)

I'm sorry.

That's the chloroform.

No! Get away!

(PANTING)

Who are you?

Help!

Please! Somebody help me!

Somebody!

Here's your purse

and your jacket.

And I left a few things of

mine in the dresser for you.

Here's a monitor

with a built-in camera.

(MONITOR BEEPS)

So that if you ever

need anything,

you can just let me know.

You seem upset.

So I'm gonna go get you

something to eat,

and I'm sure you're gonna

feel better.

Just, you know...

Just calm down,

make yourself at home.

You know... Okay?

(LOCK CLICKING)

( "RIGHT DOWN THE LINE" PLAYING )

You know I need

Your love

You got that hold over me

Long as I got your love

You know that

I'll never leave

When I wanted you

To share my life

I had no doubt in my mind

( WHISTLING TUNEFULLY )

I brought you eggs

and avocados...

(ROSY SCREAMS)

No!

(MAN MUTTERS INDISTINCTLY)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(TRAY RATTLING)

I know this is crazy.

I'm a good person,

and I brought you here

to be with me,

because I just want you

to get to know me.

(DOOR SHUTS)

(LOCK CLICKING)

( "HEARTBEAT" PLAYING )

Who am I to say

I want you back?

When you were never mine

To give away

I was waiting

For a long, long time

For you to feel the same

Who are you to look

At me like that?

Is there something more

You need to say?

I haven't loved you

In a long, long time

So why do I feel this way?

Can you hear my heartbeat?

Please don't stand

So close to me

Can you hear my heartbeat

Still beating strong?

(SIREN WAILING IN DISTANCE)

(CLATTERING)

JAMES:
Did you find it okay?

Uh-huh.

You play those instruments?

No, those are for decoration.

Sorry, I'm just being shy...

ROSY:
Mm-hmm.

So, you're a musician.

No.

I make documentaries.

You never told me you were

in the movie business.

Well, you never asked.

True.

Documentaries about what?

Music...

Oh.

There you go.

(CHUCKLES) Wow.

So... what's wrong

with me?

What do you mean?

Nothing.

Are you unhappily married?

Oh... Where is she,

by the way?

I didn't expect you to

be so forward. I...

just liked you and was

curious to see you again.

You didn't answer my question.

I...

think I made a mistake.

You're just making fun of me.

And I know this whole age thing

is not supposed to matter, but...

So you want to f*** me?

I'm sorry.

I think you should go.

James...

Let's start over.

(DOOR OPENS)

DOUG:

Rosy, it's been two days.

I wasn't counting on this.

I know you must be hungry.

Will you just try

one bite?

Please, just try

one bite.

Don't do this to me.

It's good.

ROSY:
Look...

you seem nice.

And I get it.

You think you can't let me go because

I'll go straight to the police.

But I won't.

We can fix this.

It'll be like

it never happened.

I mean that.

You can just

drive me home

and no one will ever notice

that I was gone.

It'll be our secret.

Please?

Sorry. It's just...

I'm sorry.

(GROWLS)

I can't eat your

f***ing food!

Hmm?

I'm a vegan.

(RAIN PATTERING)

(CHOPPING)

(THUNDER RUMBLES)

What's your name?

Thanks for asking.

My name's Doug.

And you're Rosy?

How'd you know

my name?

Here.

Where are you going?

- I have to pee.

- Oh.

Oh.

Go ahead.

Okay.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

ROSY:
So you took

the bathroom door away?

DOUG:
Yes, I did.

So you wouldn't

lock yourself in.

Why me?

Pardon?

Why'd you pick me

to kidnap?

Because I think

we have a connection.

A what?

A connection.

How can we have a connection if

we don't even know each other?

People see each other

in places every day

and they think, "That could

be the person for me."

(TOILET FLUSHING)

You know, people are

gonna be looking for me.

(ROOSTER CAWING)

DOUG:
Hi, Rosy.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hi.

Uh...

I'm gonna leave and

I'm gonna be gone for a while.

Where are you going?

I'm heading out to work.

I'll be back

late tonight though.

I'll be here.

What did you say?

Hello.

(PEOPLE CHATTING IN BACKGROUND)

MAN #1:

Do you work here?

MAN #2:
Yeah.

MAN #1:
May I speak

to your manager, please?

(SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

We're investigating

a missing girl.

(GRUNTING)

(GROANING)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Uh, hello?

This is Dr. Godin here.

Hello, Dr. Godin. Hi.

Hi. I'm glad I finally

reached you.

I've left several messages.

Well, I've been staying

at my grandmother's house.

I have an update.

Your grandmother's vitals

have been improving a lot.

I'm confident that she could

very well regain consciousness.

What?

It's not a promise, it's just that...

It could go that way.

Now, there has been

some damage.

The oxygen...

What's the damage?

I'm not sure if she'll

ever be able to walk again.

And she will certainly have

difficulty speaking.

You should come meet with us

to discuss the prospects.

Following rehabilitation, you have

to think about things like...

Wait, you're saying...

...your home to be

wheelchair accessible.

You're saying that

I could have her back?

It's looking a lot more likely.

That's all I can say.

Can I ask you something?

Yep.

Um...

It's...

Would she be like, um...

cognizant of things

going on around her?

How do you mean?

(CLEARS THROAT)

( SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING )

(PANTING)

(STRAINS)

(GRUNTS)

(TYRES SCREECHING)

Oh, come on!
