[GASPS]

God, you scared me.

Who were you expecting?

Phantom of the Opera?

I'm sorry, I was so

lost in thought.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

I think you've been working

too hard on your book

about that witch's night.

Well...

after all, that's what

I'm here to study, right?

Right. Absolutely right.

[FOOTSTEPS]

[DOOR CREAKING]

Well, the tide went down.

When the light is split into prisms,

it travails and the

layers of your pregnancies,

will be transformed into joys

and may they be multiplied.

And let the suffering,

in which you shall

give birth to your children,

become pleasure of the body.

Silly book really has

ahold on you, doesn't it?

This silly book just

happens to be

the source of half the theories

on which I'm basing my book.

Just be the key to the

mystery of the witch's light.

It was written by this really

obscure German writer.

- It's never been translated.

- No wonder.

[MACHINE WHIRRING]

[CARS PASSING BY]

[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC]

Miss, you all right?

You all right, miss?

Didn't hit you or anything,

did it?

Yeah, it didn't

hit you coming down.

- You sure you're all right?

- Yeah.

No, I'm okay.

Thank you.

- You sure?

- Thank you.

Okay, great.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

Please, can I have

my ball back?

- Thank you.

- Till we meet again, Tommy.

- How do you know my name?

- I know a lot of things.

But you better hurry back.

Your sister bought

a present for you.

LESLIE:
Gary, I hope you

realize how much I appreciate

you coming here to do these

pictures for my book.

It really means a lot to me

'cause...

I believe in what I'm writing,

but I need proof.

It's just sometimes

I feel confused, even scared

to find what

I'm looking for.

I think you're gettin' a

little carried away here, honey.

You've been stressed out

for weeks now. In my opinion,

all those book you've been

reading on esoteric sciences

are not doing

a damn bit of good.

You know what's weird though?

What?

I studied the hotel

from every angle.

That light we see shining in

the upstairs window at noon,

there doesn't seem to

be anything to cause it.

Hey, thanks for bringing

me here too.

I mean, the place is

absolutely incredible.

I promise I'm gonna get some

really good pictures for you.

Great.

It's also kind of

a nice chance

for us to get away together,

you know, alone?

You know, I've been thinkinga

lot about us lately and...

Oh, here it is.

There's an infantile superstition

of the human spirit.

That virginity can be a

virtue and not the barrier

that separate signorance

from knowledge.

See, even your poet knows

virginity is not natural

for a grown woman.

You know, this could

bethe perfect vacation.

Just don't start, please.

You gotta admit that

beinga virgin at your age

- is just not...

- Just drop it!

Okay?

Okay.

Sorry.

Forget it.

WOMAN:
What on earth possessed

you to want to buy this place?

It's a marvelous deal.

Fifty miles from Boston.

The perfect place for a private club.

I mean...

quite exclusive.

Oh, we're gonna

rebuild everything.

Of course, your father has

been skeptical from the start,

but he'll soon see I was right.

I'm going to

make it look fabulous!

Just forget the whole thing.

What, Freddy?

The architect broke

his stupid leg today.

He's at Boston Generalup

to his butt in plaster.

So, no architect,

no site review,

no trip to the island.

Never say die, Freddy.

We'll change architects.

A friend of mine told me

about the most marvelous person.

And the Taylors used

the same one

for that palace of theirs

in Florida.

I know I wrote it down

here somewhere.

Here it is.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Could you get that?

- John, was that the phone?

- No.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

- Hello.

- I'll get it.

Hello.

This is Mr. Brooks calling.

We need an estimate on a hotel

my wife is interested in.

And, um... the Taylors

referred us to you.

You said you got my name

from the Taylors?

I don't know anyone

named Taylor.

[INAUDIBLE SPEECH]

That would be fine.

I have tomorrow off,

I'll meet you then.

Fine, so we'll see you

tomorrow.

All right. Thank you.

Bye-bye.

- I'm sorry, John.

- I get it.

I have to go.

You have to work.

No.

I want you to stay tonight.

But, um... I can't play

with you tomorrow.

Because I have to work.

I'll never understand

which you love more.

Work or sex.

[CHUCKLES]

Well, you of all people

should be able to answer that.

LESLIE:
Unruly lust

may be loosed

in the bones of

a seasoned woman.

May virtue be as wax in the

heat of your want on flames.

What if I just kind of

get under the covers?

[WAVES CRASHING]

Come on, be good and go

back to your sleeping bag.

Please.

[WAVES CRASHING]

Seriously, Leslie, I am

really concerned about you.

I think we should

talk about this.

I don't want to talk about it.

I want to go to bed.

Good night, Gary.

GARY:
Good night, Leslie.

LADY IN BLACK:

We whispered and we talked...

[INDISTINCT SPEECH]

[SPEAKING GERMAN]

[CONTINUES TALKING]

[ENGINE REVVING]

[WIND BLOWING]

MAN:
I'm sorry, I won't be

able to stay and help you.

But my son Jerry will be

able to help you very nicely.

We're one family.

Hope you like the house.

It was nice to meet you.

Nice meeting you, sir.

- Take care. Bye-bye.

- Thank you.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[CLEARS THROAT]

I'm supposed to be

showing you the property.

Mr. Brooks.

Mrs. Brooks.

I think you're making a really

great choice here. Um...

Good exposure, all the

rooms have an ocean view.

We even have electricity now.

We just had it hooked up.

And I think you're making

a super investment.

I think you've got a great

nose for business.

Oh, I certainly do.

But, uh...

First we'll see the place

and then we'll decide.

LESLIE:
Voracious

and wicked nature,

your greedy appetite

is never sated.

Even before you savored the

fruit in its entirety,

again you desire it.

More than before,

and on into and again.

Without end.

Gary?

Hi!

My name is Sydney,

what's yours?

Tommy.

- Do you live here?

- No,

but my dad wants to buy this

island right there.

You shouldn't live here.

That's a bad place.

My mommy told me

a witch lives there.

Bye, Tommy.

Jane!

Hurry, Gary! It will be

gone in a couple of seconds!

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

We should try tomorrow

from another angle.

You got your witch's

light on film.

It's fantastic.

God, you look beautiful like that.

Stay right there.

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

Come on, open your eyes.

Come on, Gary.

Come on, open your eyes.

Stop it! Okay?

- Mr. Brooks?

- Yeah.

I'm sorry I'm late.

I'm sorry. I'm never late. I had

a hell of a time getting here.

Don't give it another thought,

Linda.

- I may call you Linda?

- Oh, sure.

Come on, let's go. We've

already wasted half an hour.

I'm really sorry.

The traffic was terrible!

Now I'm gonna need an estimateon

the cost of the renovation.

But just remember one thing
