Well, hello there, handsome.
Oh, I love you.
How are you today? Want a carrot?
Oh, that's a good boy.
Yes.
Come here.
Want mommy to give you oats?
It's okay. I'll be right back.
Don't go away.
No, no!
I hate you.
Oh, no.
No, no, oh, God, please!
No, no!
No, no, no, no, no!
All right. Let's get out of here.
Everything looks so beautiful.
I don't ever remember seeing the countryside more beautiful.
You haven't been away that long.
I know.
It's just sometimes we seem to take
the beautiful things in life for granted.
Well, there's a lot of beautiful things in the world.
All you have to do is enjoy them.
I intend to do just that.
You know, I really think that I can put the pieces together
and go on.
Mind if I join you?
Well, you damn well better.
That's my girl.
Got a letter from your sister the other day.
She's anxious to come and pay you a visit.
- How is Annie? - Oh, she's fine.
She's concerned about you.
She loves you very much.
I know.
And the feeling's mutual.
You know, we were always so very close.
Especially when we were growing up.
It's nice to have a sister like Annie.
I missed you very much.
It's nice to be going home.
Oh, Matt!
They're lovely.
Nothing's too lovely for you.
I bought them fresh this morning.
They're just lovely.
Oh, absolutely lovely.
Happy?
Oh, I... I can't tell you how happy.
You're beautiful.
I know.
God made me that way just for you.
Welcome home, honey.
I know, you're just glad to have the chef home.
Right.
And I'm starved to death.
- Oh, yeah? - Mm-hmm.
Well, won't you sit down?
Now, now, prop up your feet and relax.
I'll go to the yard and... and pick some fruit.
How does a fresh fruit salad sound?
Oh, sounds great.
Okay. Well, I'll be right back.
Linda?
Honey. Honey, what's wrong?
Oh, Man... Manuel startled me.
I didn't expect him to be here.
Mrs. Rodgers...
ll am sorry.
It's okay, Manuel.
But today's Friday.
I always work on Friday.
Yes, of... of course.
I just forgot.
It's... it's been so long.
We sure missed you.
Thank you, Manuel.
Come on, honey, let's go inside.
Take a little nap.
It's okay, honey. It's okay.
I'm gonna give you a sedative.
Okay.
- Honey? - Mm-hmm?
I want my favorite bathrobe.
All right.
I'm gonna give you a shot first and get you all squared away.
Boy, you really seem frightened.
Frightened?
He scared the hell out of me.
I thought I was gonna freak out right then and there.
Yeah, but you didn't.
Yeah, but I almost did.
God.
I couldn't stop shaking.
Well, you're not shaking now.
Yes, I am.
Nice try, doctor.
God, I... I hope ll never have to go through
anything like that again.
The men who were responsible were caught.
Put away.
And they won't hurt you again, I promise.
What's so funny?
Remember when I said
that Manuel scared the hell out of me?
- Mm-hmm. - Well, I was just remembering
a time when ll was about 10 or 11.
It was after Halloween,
and it was about 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning,
and I just couldn't sleep.
I heard my father get up and go to the bathroom.
He sure was a trickster, my father.
He always had a good one up his sleeve.
Well, anyway,
I crept into my brother's bedroom,
and I put on his Frankenstein costume.
Uh-huh.
I crept ever so slowly down the hallway
towards the bathroom.
It was hard to go slow, but...
But I really had to, because the boards creaked.
Anyway,
ll rush to the bathroom screaming
and scared the hell out of him.
I always wanted to do that.
Go to sleep.
Okay.
I want my bathrobe.
I asked him to get, ll don't know why he didn't.
I hope it's where 1 always keep it.
Oh, yeah, there it is.
Ooh, it's cold in here.
I wish he'd put on the heater.
Hmm, so nice and warm at that.
Mmm. So cold.
Oh...
My hair is a mess.
Hmm.
I really appreciate the courtesy of your...
Your coming so soon, Dr. Dillman.
1 wouldn't have called except that...
Well, when I heard that scream,
and I saw her lying on the bathroom floor,
- I... - Oh, I know.
I know, but I really wouldn't worry about it too much, Matt.
There are bound to be some setbacks,
new environment, coming back with you.
Really, really think so?
Oh, indeed. Indeed.
You know, being raped by four hoodlums
has got to be one of the most mentally devastating things
a woman can go through.
Now, physically, she is sound as ever.
- In fact, she's in good shape. - Yeah, well...
She's always been into sports, real exercise buff.
Yeah, well, I'm afraid that mentally,
it's a little different story.
You're gonna have to be very, very good to her.
Don't worry, I will be.
Matt, I know you're a fine surgeon.
You've certainly had enough courses in psychology
to know when and how to tread easily.
And I think the main thing here is to make her feel wanted.
- Hmm. - Needed.
Ll suppose sex is out of the question?
I think that's something we"re gonna have
to leave to her, isn't it?
Oh, she'll come around.
But she's been through so much mentally,
you know, for a while there in the beginning,
we weren't sure that she'd pull through.
She'd just sit there staring at the wall.
She wouldn't let a man come near her.
Well...
You're going to have to be very, very good to her, Matt.
And if you want me,
ll don't care what time it is, you call.
Thank you, Avery, I will.
It's all part of the service.
Besides, wait till you see my bill.
Excuse me, Avery.
Hello?
Yes, doctor, well, I've got those notes in my office.
If you'll hold on, I'll get them.
Excuse me, Avery.
- I'll be right back. - Certainly, now.
Carol?
Carol, what the hell are you doing?
I told you never to call me here at the house.
I just wanted to make sure you would come tonight.
Tonight? I... 1 can't make it tonight.
I just brought my wife back from the hospital.
You mean, it's too soon to come?
Will you be serious?
Right now she needs someone.
Well, so do I, sweetie pie.
And listen, baby, if you don't come tonight,
I'll make sure someone else will.
All right. I'll be there. Shh, shh, hold on, hold on.
I don't know.
I just want...
Certainly, he's in the den.
Matt?
Uh, uh, yes, Dr. Carlson.
No, that will be no problem. Uh,
I'd... I'd be happy to do it.
I'm sure you'd do the same for me.
All right, I'll see you at the hospital at 8.
Good-bye.
Who was that, honey?
Oh, uh, Dr. Carlson.
I'm afraid I got roped in to doing his rounds tonight.
Oh, Matt.
I thought we could stay home together tonight and talk.
I'm sorry, honey. Dr. Carlson and I
have these... these two very unusual cases,
and they need our constant attention.
I, um, ll understand, of course, Matt,
but, uh, I really do think Linda needs you here.
No, that's... That's all right, doctor.
I know Matt wouldn't leave
unless it was absolutely necessary.
Mmm, hello, my...
Oh.
Oh, wow.
Flowers for my flower?
- Huh? - Champagne to please the gods?
Mmm.
There's a vase over there.
Hello?
Hi, darling, what's up?
Oh, I'd love to. When?
I told you.
You're kidding, really?
Yeah, I'll call you later.
No, I couldn't go to class yesterday.
1 had an audition for
They wanted me for the part of a hooker,
two days' work. I just about croaked.
Man, if that jerko makes one more pass at me,
I'm gonna dynamite his casting couch.
Yeah, see you later.
Bye-bye.
Got yourself a part?
It would seem. Ll gave a great audition.
You'll get it.
What makes you so sure?
- I believe in you. - Hmm.
- Really? - Mm-hmm.
Mmm.
Who was that on the phone?
Just a friend.
Yeah, a man?
A boy.
He's got a couple of tickets to see the Big Cool.
What is the Big Cool?
- It's a band, dummy. - Oh.
They're playing at the Starwood tonight.
Wait a minute. I thought you were spending
the evening with me tonight.
Well, I am,
but you have to leave later,
and the second show doesn't start until midnight.
I'll have time.
And it's not exactly like you spend all of your time with me.
Dammit, you know my situation.
Yes, dear, and you should know mine.
Oh, for crying out loud, don't you ever stay home?
I mean, you keep up this pace, and you're gonna be old
- before your time. - Mmm.
And as long as I'm paying the freight around here,
you could, uh, show me the consideration,
and at least pretend to stay home
and have those jerks you're hanging around with
call when I'm not here, hmm?
I never know exactly when you're coming.
Almost never.
And speaking of freight,
it's rent time again, and I've got to pay my car insurance.
How much?
A thousand should do it.
A thousand?
- What for? - Well, I need
some walking-around money, don't you think?
And I'd like to buy some more sexy things for you.
You like what I'm wearing, don't you?
Oh, yeah. I like it.
Honey, if I'm gonna make you happy,
you've got to keep me happy.
And ll do know how to make you happy.
Mm-hmm.
Wow.
Mmm, honey, that meal was delicious.
I see you haven't lost your touch.
Matt, I was raped.
I didn't get a frontal lobotomy.
Oh, I didn't mean it that way.
Oh, I know. I'm... I'm sorry.
It's just I'm a little edgy today.
I started my period.
Yeah, I wonder why they...
Do they call that a period?
Why not a comma?
Periods sound so definite, so final.
You feel up to a little party later this week?
The Pearsons are throwing one of their gala brunches.
Hey, how can you change the subject so abruptly?
We were discussing my comma.
Hmm, do you know what's funny?
Uh-huh, the way your mind is working right now,
I don't even think I know what you're talking about.
Oh, well, then, let me enlighten you.
I think I feel like making love.
Nice timing, eh?
Oh, honey, that's great!
And your timing is perfect.
What's so perfect?
Well, let's hope ll can hold on the feeling
for a few more days.
- Oh, you will. - Hey, tiger,
don't start turning me on.
I hope I never turn you off.
I love you so much.
I know this hasn't been easy on you.
I just want you to know how much I love you
for being who you are.
Well, you'd do the same for me.
Oh, I know.
When you get raped, don't forget to call.
I'll be there.
Oh, that delightful sense of humor is back.
I missed that.
Hey,
you know, I think I could take some time off next week.
What do you say we fly down to Mexico for a couple of days?
Take a villa overlooking the ocean?
- Hmm. - Breakfast in bed?
Ooh, and lunch, and dinner,
and midnight snacks?
Oh, and get that telephone removed?
Oh.
Now, that's what I call great timing.
Just when you were putting clouds under my feet.
Ah, I'll get it.
Hello?
Oh, hiya, Frank.
Uh, yeah. Well, um, look,
I've got those reports in my study.
You'll have to hold on. I'll get them.
Uh, Frank Dobbs.
He's got surgery scheduled in the morning.
Oh, what's wrong? He needs a refresher course?
Oh, that's funny.
He's only the best scalpel in the state.
Better than you?
No. Not that good.
Oh, well, that's my man.
Zorro. Mmm.
Carol?
Carol, what the hell are you doing?
What if Linda picked up the phone?
Well, you got a sick sense of humor.
No, I couldn't possibly get away tonight.
What'd you do with the money I just gave you the other night?
Of course, I love you.
I... Yes, I'm looking forward to seeing the outfits.
Look, Linda is feeling much better,
so maybe we can get away for the weekend.
Okay. I'll call you tomorrow from the office.
And I'm looking forward to seeing those outfits.
Okay.
Good-bye.
Dreaming?
No, not really.
I was just listening to the music.
You know, I wonder why music always seems
to take me to a beautiful, lethargic place.
It's like a tranquilizer.
Oh, honey, there's your drink on the table.
Huh.
Did you get Frank all squared away?
Mm-hmm. Just a little insecurity problem.
Insecurity?
I'd hate to be under his knife tomorrow.
He'll be all right.
Yeah, as long as he doesn't get too high.
Doesn't your profession ever think about honor
or, at least, the patient?
Let's not go through that all over again.
- Hmm? - No, I'm sorry.
I'm just shooting off my big mouth.
Listen, why don't you come into town with me
one day this week?
While I'm at the hospital,
well, you could do some shopping,
and maybe later, we'll meet for dinner?
Hmm, honey, if... If I'm gonna spend
that much time alone, I think I'd rather be here at home,
rather than walking around some big shopping center.
You know, I've got a lot of thinking to do.
You know, uh, your sister may be visiting us next week.
I don't know if I'm ready to handle
having anyone here.
I don't want you being all alone.
And after what you've been through...
After what I've been through,
I have to start learning to be unafraid of being alone.
I'll be all right.
It's just, I've got so many things to put together,
and I'm the only one who can do it.
Honey,
why don't you put down your glass and hold me?
Please?
Come on, he's on the line, and it's good.
Hey, guys, look what we got here.
Good morning, Mrs. Rodgers.
Whoo. Hey, yo, mama, come over here.
Whoo! What's in the mailbox?
Hey, what are you guys trying to do?
Get me in trouble or something?
- She's a friend of mine. - Oh, Mark.
Hey, come on.
Come on, guys. Come on.
Dammit, 1 got to make an apology.
I think... Mark.
So, what are your plans today?
Hi, Mrs. Rodgers.
Listen, I heard what my friends said out there.
I hope it didn't bother you.
Well, quite frankly, it did, Mark.
I would've thought you would've chosen
your friends a little more carefully.
Yeah, well, you're right.
I... I'm sorry about that.
I really am, and I apologize for them.
Well, 1 got to go now.
I'll see you later.
Bye, Mark.
Hello, this is Mrs. Rodgers.
Is my husband there?
Thank you.
Hi, honey, how's your schedule look today?
Oh, really?
Oh, no, I'm fine.
It's just I was feeling a little lonely,
and I thought maybe... okay.
Well, I thought you might have a light day
and you could come home early.
Well, okay.
Have a nice day, and I'll... And I'll see you for dinner.
Oh, no!
I forgot today was your night for rounds.
Oh, oh, well, okay.
I'll see you when you come home,
but please,
try not to make it too late, okay?
I love you, too.
Oh, nice boobs, baby.
No, no, please!
Oh, my God, no!
No!
Help! Just help me!
No! No!
I don't know why you're hiding from us.
We're not exactly gonna hurt you.
I met you, you're good.
And if... and if we make you feel good,
well that will make us feel even better.
Go away!
Please.
Oh, please.
I was raped.
- Oh. - Oh, please.
Don't do this.
I don't... 1 don't know why you're frightened of us.
Why?
Because...
You're going to hurt me.
Oh.
Now, who told you a thing like that?
Oh, no, this can't be happening.
Not again.
Oh.
We're gonna make that beautiful body
of yours feel so good.
Jump and rock and roll, baby.
We're gonna huff, and we're gonna puff.
And we're gonna blow your door down!
Please, go away.
I won't tell anybody, I promise.
Just go away.
How can we go away when we're not even here?
- Hmm? Hmm? - We're just figments
of your imagination.
Oh, help!
Somebody!
Oh, please!
Please!
Oh, help!
Trick or treat!
Oh.
The hell are you doing?
Uh...
Improvising.
You must be on your second childhood.
Ooh, well said.
Let's play doctor.
Okay.
Little lady,
I think it's time...
For your annual examination.
- Annual? - Uh-huh.
The way you've been carrying on,
a year goes by every ten minutes.
Complaints are handled at the front desk.
Matt?
Is that you?
My God, what happened?
Matt, it almost happened again.
I'm not crazy.
Matt, where were you?
Il was at the hospital, 1 had duty last night.
I was so frightened.
They were here.
- Who was here? - They were.
They came back.
They're gonna talk to me again. They're gonna hurt me.
Enough! Pull yourself together!
Linda, nothing is gonna happen to you.
They were here.
They said they will hurt me.
Operator, get me the police.
Just calm down, honey. Everything's gonna be all right.
They know their job.
If anybody was here,
the police will find out what's going on.
Oh.
I couldn't find anything, Mrs. Rogers.
I went over this place with a fine-tooth comb.
No signs of any break-in.
No signs or traces outside.
Is there any chance you might have had a bad dream
or perhaps a couple drinks too many?
No, I know what I saw.
I'm not questioning your word, Mrs. Rogers.
Certainly sounds that way.
Then, why the hell did you ask?
Well, in view of your circumstances...
My circumstances?
What in the hell do you mean by that?
Do you think I made up what happened to me before?
No, ma'am, not at all.
It's just that we know you've had it pretty rough.
We think maybe that you've...
been having flashbacks.
- Flashbacks? - It happens.
We've got to be sure.
Well, you can be sure ll wasn't having
any damn flashbacks.
I know what I saw.
This wasn't something that happened to me before.
There was someone in my house.
The mind plays funny tricks after a while.
- Lieutenant, my wife is... - Listen, the only funny tricks
around here are yours.
Mrs. Rogers, I'm just trying to do my job.
I have to take everything into consideration.
Is there anything else you can think of that might help us?
No, I don't think so.
All right. If you notice anything out of the ordinary,
or anybody hanging around here you don't know,
- call us immediately. - I certainly will.
Can you leave someone to guard the house?
We're pretty shorthanded right now,
but I'll check on it when I get back to headquarters.
Is there anyone who could stay here with her?
Yes, my wife's sister is coming for a visit very soon.
All right. Mrs. Rogers...
Take a couple of hours of rest.
Take a sedative if you have to.
But think this whole thing over again.
I'll be leaving now.
Call if anything happens.
I'll make sure that a patrol car checks this area regularly.
Have a nice day.
Where the hell were you last night?
I already told you, the hospital was inundated
with emergencies.
Look, every doctor there was either occupied
or in the OR.
I didn't even get a chance to take a five-minute rest.
Why didn't you at least call?
You know, you sound just like that cop?
Look, I did call.
I called around midnight,
There was no answer, I figured you were fast asleep.
Hello?
Annie, how are you?
It's your sister.
Well, where are you now?
Great, just what I need.
Uh-huh. Well, can 1... 7? Can I pick you up?
Oh, okay.
Well, then, we'll see you tomorrow.
We're looking forward to having you, too, Annie.
Bye.
Linda, isn't that great?
Linda?
For crying out loud, will you say something?
What do you want me to say?
I feel totally disoriented.
I... Oh... I don't know how I feel.
Yes, I do.
I don't feel like putting up with Annie.
And right now I just feel like being alone.
Fine.
Oh, God.
You're not bad for an older man.
Oh.
The best you ever had, kiddo.
The best I've had this week.
What's that supposed to mean?
I knew it, you're jealous.
Oh.
The way you operate, I have every right to be.
You know what I like about you?
- What? - You've got such good taste
in girlfriends.
You know what else I like about you?
- What? - Oh, other than the fact
that you never wanna stop making love?
Oh.
You're intelligent. I mean, oh, you're a doctor.
Doctors are intelligent, right?
Right.
Doctors are always hanging around
important people, right?
Right.
And movie stars, right?
Right.
How many movie stars do you know?
I don't know right now.
Do you know Robert De Niro?
No.
Can you introduce me to some of your friends
that are movie stars?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Oh. - Oh.
Doctors travel a lot, too, don't they?
Yeah.
I like to travel.
Oh.
Do you like to fly?
Oh, yeah.
Oh.
How much money did you make last year?
Linda?
Matt!
Oh, my God.
I didn't think it was you.
Who else do you think would be coming in the bedroom
at this hour?
Oh.
God, you scared me to death.
Oh, well, you didn't give me a great laugh, either.
Why were you sneaking up on me?
Ll wasn't sneaking up on you.
It's late, I wanted to be quiet.
I thought you'd be asleep.
God, you could've killed me with this thing.
Well, it would've served you right.
Being raped one time is enough
to last me my entire life, thank you.
Oh.
Linda, Linda, for the last time,
that is over with.
That's over with.
Those men are in jail.
You keep going backward.
I wish you would just stop dwelling on it.
For God's sakes, you don't believe me.
Dammit, I should know what I'm talking about.
I was the one they grabbed in the bathroom.
I saw that ugly face in front of me.
Do you think I enjoy
crawling around on the kitchen floor?
It's okay.
Get some rest, huh?
Annie.
Hi.
Well, I didn't think the trip made me look that bad.
I don't think I've ever seen you looking bad.
Linda, Matt did tell you ll was coming for a visit,
- didn't he? - What?
Oh, oh, yes, I think he did mention
something last week.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Come on in and sit down.
Definitely been a long time.
How's everything going?
Look, Annie, I really don't think
this is the best time for a visit, you know?
I mean, Matt's time is limited,
and ll am trying my best to put the pieces together,
but I'd rather do it alone, you know?
I mean, I don't think you should stay very long.
You're my sister.
I love you.
I wanna help you if I can.
I know what you went through wasn't easy.
I understand that.
- But you must understand... - Oh, sis, it's not that.
It's just I've been having recurring nightmares so real,
so real, I'm frightened.
Linda,
you've got to be realistic about this.
Yes, you were raped.
Those men are paying for what they've done,
and you've got to build your life from here.
Do you remember when we were both kids?
You were always my big sister? Strong, independent.
Then when you and Matt got married,
everyone thought that was just fantastic.
You know, if I had a guy like Matt, I'd sure work out
whatever it was.
He's on your side.
No, no, you don't understand. He's not always there.
I'm alone, Annie. I'm all alone.
1 mean, he's working all the time.
He's going to the hospital.
He's spending time with the patients,
spending time on the phone.
It's not like what you think it is.
You're going through a bad time, that's all.
That's why I'm here.
I wanna help you if I can.
- Maybe if I speak to Matt, I... - No, no.
Matt doesn't even believe anything I say anymore.
I don't even know if 1 believe myself.
Sure, you do.
After all, aren't you my big sister?
Come on.
We'll have a good dinner, just the three of us,
and we'll talk.
Annie, I know I've already said this,
but it's nice seeing you.
I'm glad you came,
and ll know Linda is, too.
Thank you, Matt. I appreciate that.
It really is good to see you both.
I just wish it were under different circumstances.
Different circumstances?
By that, do you mean having to deal
with the product of a gangbang?
Linda.
No, Annie, let's call it what it is.
I was raped by four men.
- They grabbed me and put... - Linda...
Don't do this to yourself.
Linda, ll know it's not easy to...
Oh, really?
You know?
You know, do you?
Were you raped last week?
Last month? Last year?
Were you ever raped?
Of course not!
You've never had to deal
with anything more than having to kiss a boy
on the first date or not.
Linda...
you were always someone I looked up to.
Someone I was really glad to know.
You were more than just a big sister.
1 thought of you as my best friend
in the whole world.
You're right.
This is not the best time for a visit.
1 wish you both the best of luck.
No, wait, Annie. Annie!
Are you satisfied?
Now you've alienated your own sister.
And for what? Because of some crazy idea
that there's ghosts in the house.
She wanted to help.
She came here to give you a little companionship,
and you blew it right out of the water.
Congratulations.
Matt, I... Ll don't wanna alienate anyone.
It's just I don't need a babysitter.
I thought you would have liked having Annie around.
Well, in a month, maybe.
Maybe?
Is that the best you can do?
Can't you at least try to be understanding
to those who are trying to help you?
Boy, sometimes I look at you,
and I don't know who the hell I'm seeing.
Why don't you just drop dead?
I won't go that far,
but I sure as hell will leave you alone.
Yeah, that should help.
Will it knock me out?
No, it'll just calm you down.
I sure hope so.
Now, don't worry,
everything is going to be all right.
Well, that's debatable.
It's all been like a bad dream.
Well, that's probably exactly what it was.
The mind can play some very strange tricks on us.
I don't know what came over me.
We were all sitting around having dinner,
and the next thing I know ll was screaming
at the top of my lungs.
That's not too hard to understand, Linda.
You've been under a heavy strain ever since it all started.
They said they were gonna get me.
Well, they are not going to get anybody.
They are going to spend the next 20 years,
at least, in prison.
Oh, with my luck,
they"ll be out in six months on good behavior.
Oh, my, that's a pretty dismal attitude, isn't it?
Well, right now, it's the only one I have.
Now, not to worry.
You went through a very trying ordeal,
and your mind is bogged down
with a closet full of horrible memories.
They will all go away.
It just takes time.
When Matt found me on the kitchen floor,
1 could still feel their presence.
It was so scary.
And Mark, the boy next door, said he heard me screaming.
Well, he probably did.
You got a hell of a set of lungs.
Have you tried contacting Matt?
Yeah, I tried, but I couldn't reach him.
Well, let's just see
what a little medical influence can do.
No, don't bother. He's been through enough.
And, besides, ll don't want him to think
he's living with a crazy.
Now, you are not crazy,
you are upset, and I happen to feel
it would be better if he were here with you.
No, I... I'd rather be alone.
- Are you sure? - Yeah, it's all right.
I'm sure.
Well, all right.
Why don't you just relax and try to get some sleep?
Okay.
Is there anything you want before I go?
Well, I could use some orange juice.
Done.
Freeze, or I'll blow your head off.
Don't shoot, don't shoot. For God's sakes,
I didn't do anything.
You get up there and put your hands on that counter
- and spread your feet. - Okay, okay.
Look, just don't shoot. I didn't do anything, I swear it.
What were you doing here?
Look, I live next door.
I was just checking on Mrs. Rogers to make sure she...
What's going on?
Mrs. Rogers, tell him it's okay.
I caught this young man sneaking around.
I was just checking to make sure you were all right
after what happened, you know?
Oh, it's okay, doctor.
This is Mark.
He lives next door.
All right, Mark, you better get on home.
Everything will be all right here.
Yes, sir.
And I'm sorry, Mrs. Rogers. 1 was just checking.
Well, thanks, Mark. I... 1 appreciate your concern.
Good night.
Good night, Mark.
Where did you get that gun?
I always carry it.
I've been mugged twice in my own driveway.
The first time, they got my wallet,
and the second time, they got my bag for the drugs.
And just what had you planned to do with this, young lady?
I think we better put it back where it belongs, don't you?
Come on.
In here, doctor.
Thank you for all your help, doctor.
That's the least I could do for my star patient.
I feel like such a baby.
Your star patient would like to go to sleep now.
That's good.
You get yourself a good-night's rest,
and I'll call you in the morning, all right?
- Okay. Thank you. - Good night.
Good night.
You go ahead and wake her up.
When she comes downstairs, we'll get her, okay?
Good, good, good.
Oh, my.
My hair is an...
Absolute mess.
Hmm.
Oh...
And no makeup.
Oh, and I must powder my nose.
Oh, oh.
I'm so looking forward to all the fun.
J I'm going to have some fun ;
T You'll see!
I think that's enough powder.
Now, that's nice.
Oh, my guests are here.
She's gonna come down this way.
You know, we got to go around that way.
- Uh-huh. - Okay?
- Uh-huh. - Here she comes.
Hello?
Here I come, ready or not.
Come out.
Come out wherever you are.
Come, now.
This is no time to play hide and seek.
You're not being a very polite guest,
and I went through all this trouble
just to make you feel at home.
Ah, there you are.
Would you care for a glass of wine?
You know, this is a very good year.
There have been a lot of good years,
but this one, this one's the best.
There have been a lot of bad years,
but we're not gonna have any more of those.
I don't like them.
No, no, no.
It's much nicer and romantic in the dark,
don't you think?
I mean,
we don't wanna be cold to one another, do we?
Here.
Oh, you're shy.
Oh, how nice.
It's all right, I assure you.
I like you.
I wanna make you feel so good.
Here's to health and happiness.
Bottom's up.
My, wasn't that good?
Would you like some more?
I guess so.
Oh, my, it works fast.
I didn't think it would...
I've never done this sort of thing before.
Oh!
My goodness.
Hmm.
Well, I'm sorry, I can't spend any more time with you, but...
ll do have other guests to take care of.
Well, I guess I should make you a little more comfortable.
Oh, my.
My, my, my, my, my.
How convenient.
1 think I better make sure you stay quiet.
I don't want you to tell your other friends
about our little game.
- Anything? - Nah.
Must've spent the night with a friend.
Smart move. I think I'd do the same thing
if I was in her shoes.
Yeah, really. You know, my wife got on me tonight,
she says we ought to take all these rapists,
line them up against the wall,
blow them all away.
1 like to think of a few other people
- I'd like to do that to. - Yeah, really.
Ah, there you are.
I was looking all over for you.
You weren't hiding on me, were you?
Why, you certainly make it difficult
for a girl to get to know you.
Well, look, lady, I was...
Don't I look attractive?
- Well, yeah. - Oh, good.
For a moment there, I didn't think you wanted me.
After all, isn't that what you came here for?
To make love to me?
Yeah, sure, yeah.
Good.
Why don't you come here.
Sit on the bed.
Oh, I thought... Ll don't know about the...
There are so many things I wanna do to you.
It's going to be so good, and I want you to love me.
Come.
Boy, this is a switch.
I thought you'd be mad as hell at me?
Mad?
Definitely not.
Let's just say I'm able to handle the situation.
No, no, leave it for now.
It turns me on.
Lady, you are definitely weird.
I know.
Oh, my makeup.
It ran and...
I didn't have time to redo it.
You don't mind, do you?
No.
Good.
We don't wanna waste any more time, do we?
Lady, I got all the time in the world.
Oh, good.
I've always wanted a man who has all the time in the world.
Oh, you sure found the right guy.
Oh, 1 did find you, didn't 1?
Well, you sure are a wild woman. I didn't expect this.
Oh, no.
What did you expect?
Someone cowering in a corner?
Well, I kind of thought...
Thinking is not required for this.
Now, take that silly mask off.
I really wasn't planning on going to bed
with a Halloween character.
Yeah, well, why not?
Oh, my...
You're a good-looking guy.
What's your name?
Does it matter?
No.
I guess not.
Maybe I'll just make up an intriguing name for you,
something romantic and enchanting.
There.
That's better.
I'm gonna take you somewhere where you've never been before.
It turned me on.
It's gonna be such a surprise.
Well, I love surprises.
One move, and I'll pull this wire, and off they come.
For God sakes please! Don't!
I said, don't move, you bastard.
Oh, God! No, please!
I didn't mean anything. It was just a joke.
So is this.
1 thought you loved the surprise and jokes.
Look, I didn't mean anything.
We were just having a good time.
Oh.
Now, dance with me.
Look, I'll do anything you want.
Just keep your mouth shut and dance with me.
Go ahead. If you think
you can get away with it and rape me again.
You're a pretty good dancer.
Now,
get on the floor and beg like a dog.
What?
Get on the floor and beg like a dog.
Look, lady,...
Beg!
You're a good dog.
Now, get up on the bed.
Look, for God's sakes, Mrs. Rodgers, please.
Oh. You know my name?
Look, that wasn't me. Those guys...
I swear, it wasn't me.
I begged you.
Look. Look, I'm sorry at what happened to you.
I swear to God, I am.
Please, we didn't mean any harm.
We were just having fun.
You hurt me.
You're never gonna hurt me again.
No, no.
Please, no.
Hey, guys.
It's me. Let me in.
Let me in, you guys.
It's me.
I won't be a moment.
It's almost ready.
You did say you liked your meat rare, didn't you?
Good.
Is the music too loud?
Oh.
But it's a pretty song, though, isn't it?
There.
Oh.
That's better.
It's a pepper steak.
I just love pepper steak.
I wanted to make some sauce,
but I didn't think we had the time.
The French make great sauces,
but you never know what's under them.
I think they invented sauces
just to cover up the taste of bad food.
I don't like bad food.
Especially meat, it stinks.
I don't like anything smelly.
I don't like anything that tastes bad.
I get so lonely.
You know, after what happened, everything changed.
But you know that, don't you?
There's something else you don't know.
But that's no problem. I'll show you later.
You hurt me.
You hurt me so much.
Why wouldn't you stop?
You're not eating!
Why... why aren't you eating?
I thought you liked meat.
I went through all this trouble.
Oh.
Maybe if I took that off.
Mrs. Rodgers, it was only a joke.
We weren't the ones who raped you.
We only meant to play a joke.
Honest.
We weren't gonna hurt you.
It was all Mark's idea.
No.
Mark lives next door.
He's a good boy.
Eat.
Do you like it?
Yes.
Do I have nice breasts?
Yes.
Why am I so lonely?
I'm a good girl.
I like people, but they're always hurting me.
You hurt me.
Why?
Honest to God, Mrs. Rodgers, 1 didn't hurt you.
I swear, I didn't.
Yes, you did. You're lying to me.
You're hurting me again.
Oh.
I feel so bad when I cry.
I don't wanna cry.
Oh.
Oh, 1 didn't mean to make you cry.
I'm sorry.
I'm tired of it.
I just want all the bad things to go away.
Mrs. Rodgers.
Mrs. Rodgers, please.
Will you untie me?
Do you think I'm pretty?
Yes. You're very pretty.
No.
I wasn't pretty.
Oh, no. No, you're pretty.
Really, you are.
Not in the classic sense.
I always wanted to be very beautiful,
and dress in gowns,
and come down long winding staircases,
just like they did in the movies.
Did you see Sunset Boulevard?
- Yeah. - No, not the street.
I meant the movie.
It was a beautiful movie.
It made me cry.
"Bambi" made my cry.
When he... When he lost his mother,
I cried.
I always cry at sad movies.
Mrs. Rodgers?
Do... do you know what my father never did?
No.
He never cried.
He never cried at a movie.
Why don't men ever cry?
I don't know.
Well, they should.
They should learn how to cry.
Women cry all the time.
I... 1 remember ll cried once
when I broke the heel off my shoe.
Oh, Melvin Brooks took me to the prom,
and... and I broke my heel.
I had to take my shoes off.
But it really didn't matter.
He was shorter than I was.
And he was very funny.
Mrs. Rodgers,
please, will you untie me?
These ropes are cutting off my circulation.
Does it hurt?
Yes.
Good.
You wouldn't stop when I hurt.
You hurt me so much.
Oh, God. It wasn't me.
I swear to Almighty God, it wasn't me!
Eat.
Mrs. Rodgers.
It will make you grow big and strong.
Eat.
Mrs. Rodgers, please.
Now, dessert.
Mrs. Rodgers, please, listen to me.
I've prepared something special for you.
It's going to be such a surprise.
Mrs. Rodgers, don't do this to me!
Untie me now!
But you haven't had dessert.
And I went through so much trouble.
You can't leave until you've at least tried it.
It is something very special.
And... And I did want to surprise you.
Don't do this to me!
Come back here!
Untie me now!
You can go now.
Oh.
You're gonna tell her tonight.
Tomorrow.
Tonight.
Look.
She has no idea that... That this is coming.
And she's not well, I just...
Ll have to do this at the proper time.
I just can't jump in and drop something like this on her.
You're going to have to do it sooner or later,
might as well be now.
Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it.
Unless you still love her.
Oh, God Almighty.
Of course, I still feel something for her.
She's a good woman.
In bed?
Don't start that. She's been through a lot.
So have l.
I don't exactly enjoy waiting on call.
You know how I feel.
Oh. Boy, that is really unfair.
It's just that ll want you all the time,
you know that.
Linda?
Linda, where are you?
Upstairs, Matt!
Linda, the door's locked.
Linda, what are you doing?
Getting ready for bed, darling.
I'll be just a minute.
You sound relaxed, happy.
I feel great.
It's good because there's something I wanna tell you.
I know what it is, Matt.
You're leaving me.
That's what I had in mind.
Don't worry, Matt.
So did I
Linda?
