---

I'm not feeling very well.

I need help.

I need a doctor.

Please. (COUGHS)

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Rosy...

Rosy...

Rosy. Rosy?

(ROSY MUTTERS)

You like the sound

of breaking glass.

(COUGHING)

All right,

if I get you a doctor,

you gotta play along

that you're my girlfriend, okay?

There's gonna be some

serious issues.

I am your f***ing girlfriend!

(FOOTSTEPS POUNDING)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(HORN HONKING)

Hey, hey, hey! What the

hell's the matter with you?

Doug? What the hell

are you doing?

You scared...

You scared me half to death.

I really need your help

with something.

It's a medical thing.

And, uh...

It's my girlfriend.

(ROSY WHIMPERING)

(ROSY COUGHING)

Hello.

(MOANING)

DR. GODIN:
Hello there.

I'm Dr. Godin.

Hi.

I'm Rosy.

Are you all right, Rosy?

Uh, let's see

what we have here.

Ah, well, this...

This is terribly infected.

Why haven't you brought this

girl to the hospital, Doug?

This is very serious.

- Um...

- I didn't wanna go.

I refused.

I'm afraid of hospitals.

And I don't have insurance.

DR. GODIN:
Well, you know, infections are

the leading cause of death in this country.

You don't wanna

lose this leg.

Mm-mmm.

It's all right.

It's all right.

We're gonna take care of it.

What... What exactly

happened here?

I slipped in the forest.

Yeah.

DR. GODIN:
Oh.

Are you afraid of needles too?

No.

Hold that.

All right.

All right.

Deep breath.

(ROSY GROANING)

There.

I'll take that.

Oh, what...

What are the bruises

on your wrists from?

Sex.

It's from sex.

(CHUCKLES) How long

have you two been together?

Uh, a few months.

But we're very serious.

Well, my wife and I

got engaged

after five months.

- Are you still together?

- Oh...

Nineteen years

this June.

Ain't it the happiest years

of my life?

(CHUCKLING) It's a joke.

I was just joking.

The love of my life.

She is the love

of my life.

ROSY:
Do you have children?

Yes, two daughters

and my boy.

Rosy wants children.

DR. GODIN:
Most women do.

I am going to write

some prescriptions

for you to pick up

right away.

What is your last name, Rosy?

Is there any way you could

just make them out to me

instead of her?

Because my pharmacist is

really crazy about letting me pick

up medication that's not mine.

- DR. GODIN:
Uh...

- Yes.

And I can't go,

because I'm too ill.

I can't walk.

I really can't do that.

Last name?

It's not a big deal. You could

just make it out to me.

Just do it.

Just do it.

DR. GODIN:

I'll tell you what.

If they give you a problem,

you just give me a call.

All right?

What is your last name?

Well, she actually

took my last name,

'cause we just got married and

we haven't told anybody yet.

You know,

break the big news.

Well...

congratulations.

That's great.

So, Rose Landver?

Rosy Lanver.

- DOUG:
Landver.

- Landver.

Landver.

All right.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Just let it ring.

(TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

All right.

Here we go.

You ready to drive me back?

What is that on your pad?

- What?

- I just saw something written on your pad.

I just... I...

Prescription receipt.

Shall we... Shall we go?

Yeah, Dr. Godin?

Yeah, Doug.

Can I ask you something?

- Shoot.

- Here's...

Do you think I'm a strange guy?

I do, as a matter of fact.

Do you think there's

something wrong with me?

Should I see a therapist?

Would you like me to

recommend you someone?

Um...

I mean, I just...

I want you to guess

what's my issue.

I really couldn't say.

I'm happy to refer you

to someone...

I have this fear of what

people are thinking of me

and I have things like just this

f***ing spirals of thought.

And, uh...

And it just happens to me every time

I leave the house every f***ing day.

This really fucks me up.

I'm just trying to

figure out what it is.

I'll find you someone good.

(CLICKS TONGUE)

Dr. Godin...

DR. GODIN:
Yeah?

You got any

marriage advice for us?

(DR. GODIN LAUGHS) Oh...

They say it helps

to have a short memory.

Mm-hmm. Anything else

besides that?

Honestly...

I think, uh,

the most important thing

I have learned is

relationship is hard work.

How do you mean?

Uh, people...

You know, people expect

love to make things easy.

Life's not easy.

But it feels good

when you...

get through

hard stuff together.

So...

Thank you.

Thanks. Thank you.

Really. I have to

go home now.

After you. Let's go.

DR. GODIN:

Take care, Rosy.

ROSY:
Doug...

Doug!

DOUG:
Hey, Doc.

One more thing.

DR. GODIN:
Yeah?

- (LOUD BLOWS)

- (DR. GODIN GROANING)

- (BLOWS CONTINUE)

- (DR. GODIN CRYING OUT)

(BLOWS CONTINUE)

- (DOOR SLAMS)

- ROSY:
What have you done?

You see what you did?

- What did I do?

- You tried to f*** me over again.

What are you

talking about?

You tried to turn me in.

No, I didn't.

It says "captive"

on one of these papers.

I saw, you wrote "captive"

on one of these papers,

and it's somewhere in here

and I'm gonna find it.

ROSY:
No, I didn't.

Where is it?

What did he do with it?

- Where is it? Where is it?

- (SHUSHING)

(BIRDS TWITTERING)

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

(TELEPHONE CONTINUES RINGING)

(RUSTLING)

(DOUG MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY)

(OBJECTS CLATTERING)

(CONTINUES MUTTERING)

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

(DOOR OPENING)

I need you to help me

bury the body.

ROSY:
Does anyone know

that he came here?

DOUG:
One, two, three...

- Up, up.

- (STRAINS)

All right, listen.

I'm sorry

about what happened

with me and you.

I got really upset,

because you said that you needed

to process what I told you.

DOUG:
What?

Which means you,

you don't trust me.

And I, I am

a trustworthy person.

You hit me in the head

with an ax.

- No. technically I...

- Yeah, yeah. You did.

You hit me straight in

in the head with an ax.

No, I jabbed you in the head

with the ax handle.

I know. Wrong move.

It's just I got over-anxious and

I jumped the gun. I'm sorry.

What are you talking about?

How could you

do this to me?

My brain tells me to run,

and my heart tells me to stay.

I mean, how do you expect me to

navigate a situation like this?

DOUG:
Keep your

f***ing voice down.

It's just I have to wait

for you to be ready.

I just...

felt that I had come so far,

and then you rejected me!

I also felt that you

judged me about my past.

DOUG:
I never judged you.

That's your issue.

ROSY:
You said that

you had to process things

before you knew

if you could still love me.

DOUG:
No, I needed to process the

idea that you could actually love me.

(PANTING)

Uh... I'm not this

kind of person.

- ROSY:
I know.

- I didn't mean for any of this to happen.

I'm just...

I'm just a guy who...

who, you know, has a really

hard time with things.

And... (SOBBING)

ROSY:
It's okay.

Come on, just...

Just cry and get it over with.

Uh...

(SIGHS DEEPLY)

(GRUNTS)

Doug...

Did you ever like me?

Yes.

I love you.

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(ROSY YELLS)

(DOUG YELLS) F***!

(GROANS) Rosy!

Rosy!

(ROSY WHIMPERS)

Oh, here we go again!
