F***!

- Hi.

- Hi.

I picked you up

some takeout,

and I got you some healthy

snacks to have down here.

Oh, thanks. Can you just put

them over there on the dresser?

I'm actually not that hungry

right now.

- DOUG:
What's this?

- What?

Here. What is this?

Oh. That. Hah!

Um, that's... That's how

long I've been here for.

I hope you don't mind.

I'm just keeping track.

Hmm.

Where's the vase?

ROSY:
Just there on the floor.

I moved it.

How was your day?

Good.

I'm pretty tired.

I think I'm just gonna

go to bed tonight.

You look pretty spent

yourself.

Yeah, you could say that.

Good night.

'Night.

I forgot to grab this.

(CHUCKLES NERVOUSLY)

My grandmother may be

moving in with us.

Great.

What is she like?

She's great.

I'm sure.

Does she know

that I'm here?

I haven't quite worked

all that out yet, but...

(CLATTERING)

What the f***?

ROSY:
I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Please don't hurt me!

(CLATTERING)

Please don't hurt me.

What were you

trying to do?

Huh?

What were you

trying to do?

I was trying to get out.

What does it look like?

You can't get out. Those

windows don't even open.

What?

Why'd you

board them up, then?

I've had a really

hard day.

And the last thing I need is for

you to pull sh*t like this.

Oh, you've had

a hard day?

You get to go out there

and do whatever you want,

whenever you want.

I? I am stuck here,

all day long.

And the only good part of my

day is when I go to sleep,

because then, then I know that

I'm gonna make it till tomorrow.

All right. For the last time.

I'm not trying to hurt you.

I'm just trying to

take care of you.

I think that's

pretty clear.

- Take care of me?

- Yes.

Look at me!

I haven't had a shower

in forever.

I smell like sh*t.

Do you see how greasy

my hair is?

Huh?

There's only a sink

in that bathroom.

I... I could give you soap.

But, yeah, I didn't

think of that.

(ROY SCOFFS)

I didn't think of that.

Just, you know...

Yeah, it didn't occur to you

that while you were having

your nice, warm,

little cozy showers

that I might be

needing them, too?

I've been very overwhelmed, and

I've been dealing with a lot,

- and a lot has happened really fast.

- (SCOFFS)

So it has something

to do with that, probably.

I don't care.

When you think about

your needs,

you need to try

and think about mine.

All right, yeah.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

The best way to

get through your day

is to focus on

the good things you have,

not the bad.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR SHUTS)

- ( MUSIC PLAYING )

- WOMAN:
The seven steps.

Who am I?

Where am I?

Who am I with?

What do I want?

What do I do to get

what I want?

And what just happened?

Okay?

I am an enigma.

You're an enigma?

(LAUGHS)

- I am an enigma.

- You're an enigma.

ROSY:
You're nervous.

MAN:
I'm nervous?

ROSY:
You're nervous.

MAN:
I'm nervous.

JAMES:
Say something sexy.

(MOANS)

What time's the show?

9:
00.

I'm really excited.

Well, we're gonna be busy

shooting all night.

I don't think

it'd be appropriate

for me to bring

a girl along.

I'll give you my credit card,

and you can walk around town.

What am I gonna do

in Jersey?

Is she pretty?

She's a kid.

The label picked her up from some

televised dance competition in Canada.

Why? How old is she?

I think she's 15.

That's obscene.

She has a career that you're

making a documentary about,

and I'm like a total nobody.

Come on.

I have a pretty good friend

who's a talent rep,

and I can introduce you

when we get back.

He's a pretty

straight shooter.

James, do you think of me

as your girlfriend?

You want to be?

Yeah.

(DOOR OPENS)

(DOOR SHUTS)

You're gonna have to let me cuff your

ankles if you're gonna go upstairs.

I think that's ridiculous.

Will you at least take these

off when I'm down here?

It will be much easier for me

to maintain my sanity

and to use the bathroom.

We'll see.

Come on.

You've got a monitor

to watch me.

Maybe.

Well, can I at least

take them off while I shower?

I'm not gonna run away

with my legs cuffed.

Does it turn you on

to restrain me?

Hmm?

Does that record player work?

Mm-hmm.

Wow.

This is a pretty big house.

What, are you gonna

wash me now?

(SIGHS)

(LOCK CLICKS)

ROSY:
You're locking the door

from the outside?

DOUG:
Correct.

How do I know you're not gonna

come in once I'm naked?

DOUG:
Rosy?

Rosy?

Yes.

Do I need to worry about

you killing yourself in there?

(SCOFFS) I'm not suicidal,

arsehole.

Is your grandmother coming?

DOUG:
I don't know yet.

Isn't she gonna wonder why all

the windows are boarded up?

Um, I'll tell her that

the doctor ordered it.

What do you mean?

Is she sick?

Well, how are you gonna

explain the handcuffed girl

that's not allowed to

stroll the garden?

You'll have to stay

downstairs.

What about my baths?

I'll figure it out.

Also, Doug...

Yes?

I... I really appreciate

the toothbrush and toothpaste

you gave me,

and the horrific hairbrush.

Mm-hmm.

But since I'm gonna be

here for a while,

I'm gonna need

a few more things.

Like tampon.

And I need my inhaler.

I'd like a blowdryer,

and I definitely need

more clothes,

like a few pair of panties,

some shoes.

Oh, some books

would be nice.

My favorite author

is Mary McClain.

And would it be possible

to get some makeup as well?

MALE NURSE:
Having reviewed the

personal and legal ramifications

regarding the end

of life decision,

let's now discuss the much

preferred alternative outcome,

and the measures

you'll have to take

if Katherine does indeed wake

up from her vegetative state.

DR. GODIN:
Which I personally

think could be any day now.

MALE NURSE:
One option is setting

her up in a nursing home.

No.

Well...

if you'd rather

bring her home, I...

I recommend that you hire

a caretaker or a nurse

to administer her medication.

Here's some information

you might find helpful.

Basic preparations,

expected costs.

I'm seeing that girl

that I told you about.

She's... She's...

She's a handful.

But...

I'm in love with her.

I'm scared I'm not doing this

in the right way.

I wish you could

tell me.

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

Thank you for everything,

Dr. Godin.

(SNIFFLING)

Are you sure

you don't need some more

time to think this through?

I've thought it through.

Turn it off.

(SIGHS)

(PEOPLE CHATTING)

( FRENCH SONG PLAYING

( MUSIC )

- (TURNS OFF MUSIC)

- Jesus! Could you knock?

(EXHALES DEEPLY)

Sorry.

What's wrong?

My grandmother died.

What?

How?

She got a stroke.

What's the matter

with you?

Nothing.

So, do I still have to

stay down here?

That's all you have to say?

Really?

I'd hug you, except that

you should probably

think about the way

you're feeling right now

is how my parents

are feeling about me.

Wait, come back!

(DOUG SCREMS)

Goddamn it!

(PUNCHING WALL)

(BANGS ON DOOR)

Are you okay?

(SIGHS) Look, I really

wanted honestly to meet her.
