You didn't mind when I surprised you with my promotion. That wasn't a surprise, that was earned by my genius husband. Good answer by my genius wife. I thought you liked me for my body. I do like you for your body. What are we doing? Surprise. I don't understand. What is it? It's a house. Yes. Yes, I can see that. Thank you. Also known as a home, sanctuary, dwelling. Yeah? Or if you like, you could just call it ours. Ours? Mmm-hmm. Where would we get the money? How do we get into something like this? Well,... Maybe with a key. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, are you kidding? It's a classic. 1920s, wood frame. Three bedroom, one and a half bath. And the old owners even left us a brand-new swing set out back. I'm a little big for swing sets. We have to fill up those spare rooms sometime soon, right? Thank you. I love you. I love you too. Let's go home. (BELL TOLLS) (GROANS) Mommy? Mommy, when's Daddy coming home? What, baby? When's Daddy coming home? Erm,... Today, baby. It was just an overnight trip. Why couldn't he take us? Cos it was work and we couldn't go. But how about a "Good morning, Mommy, nice to see you." Good morning. Mom, you've gotta get dressed. Sweetie, we've got plenty of time. We're gonna be late for school. Oh, no. We're not gonna be late for school. Better get going or we'll be late for school. (CHATTERING) Bridgette, are you OK with your spelling words? Yes, Mom. Hey, hey, hey, don't forget your lunches. Got it? Gimme a kiss. Come on, Megan! I am! (This isn't dirty.) "Hey, girl, what's going on? I can't believe it's Thursday already." Tell me about it. I've no idea where this week went. I wish you were here. I'm having the hardest time picking out my dress. What about you guys? Do you have any plans for the weekend? What, besides jetting off to Acapulco? No. Yeah, right. I gotta go. I gotta figure out what I'm doing with my life right now. "Oh, yeah? What's his name?" Well, the name is really bad. It's Harry. "But you never know. He could be the one." Bye. "You have one new message." "First new message." "Linda, listen, I need to... tell you something." "(SIGH) I meant what I said in front of the girls the other night and..." "I just..." "I just want you to know that and to please remember it." "(BEEP)" "(SIGHS) Oh, dammit, someone's calling. Hold on." "Is that you?" "(BEEP)" "End of messages. (BEEP)" "If you leave a message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible." "(BEEP)" Hey, it's me. Er, got your message. I don't know when you left it but, erm,... Just call me when you get mine, OK? Bye. (DOORBELL CHIMES) Mrs Hanson? Yes. Linda Hanson? Uh-huh. I'm Sheriff Reilly. Yes? I'm, erm, sorry to tell you this... Your husband, Jim... Yeah? ..was in a car accident. He died on the scene. When? Yesterday. No. No, that's impossible because I just heard his voice on the answering machine so... Well, I'm sorry, ma'am. We, er,... We couldn't get to you any sooner. (DISTORTED) The other driver was in a truck, a semi. Pretty certain it was instantaneous. It jack-knifed. He was on the highway, around mile marker 220. The truck driver was killed as well. I'm very sorry about your husband. Ma'am, is there anything that I can do? Ma'am? Mrs Hanson? Ma'am? Ma'am, is there anything that I can do? Can I call someone for you? Mm-mm. Let me leave you my card. OK? If you have any questions, you just call me. (BIRDS SQUAWK) What's wrong, Mommy? Mommy? What's wrong? (SNIFFS) It's about Daddy. Yeah? (Yeah.) (SNIFFS) He's had a very bad accident. What kind of accident? When's he coming home? Is he OK? No, baby, he's not. Come here. Wow, I'm impressed. You guys got this far all by yourselves? Yeah. That's really amazing. "Hey, it's Annie, leave a message at the beep and I promise, I'll get right back to you." "(BEEP)" Hey, Annie, it's me. Erm,... Could you please call me as soon as you get this message? Thank you. Wow. You girls are doing so great. Daddy's better at puzzles. He was going to help us. Hi, honey. Hey. I think I finally got them to sleep. Oh, I should say good night. No, they just fell asleep. Leave it. I was thinking about, erm, everything we need to get done. Tomorrow we should probably start looking into funeral arrangements. And then, erm,... just see where you are in terms of insurance. I'm not ready for that, Mom. Nobody's ready for any of this, dear. But you'll be surprised at how strong you're gonna be. When I lost your dad - I can't stop thinking about our serving platter. What serving platter? You know, the big one, on the top shelf. The one that his folks gave us. I can't reach that. Jim... Jim does that for me. Nobody expects you to get everything done in the first few days, dear. I... I'm pretty tired. I'm gonna go lie down in the den. OK. I'll get some sheets out of the closet. I'll be right up here if you need me, dear. Mom? (KNOCKS ON DOOR) Mom? "(TV NOISE)" > "(TV NOISE)" > Jim. What's wrong? I don't... I don't know. I just had... I just had the... I just had the strangest... What? What is it? OK, I guess it's nothing. It's nothing, it's nothing. (FOOTSTEPS) Mom, we're late. Three times and we get detention. How is that a good way to start the day? How about, "Good morning"? "Good to see you, Mommy." Good morning. Alright. I gotta get going. Monday morning meeting. Ahhh. I have hugs for everybody. Alright. I gotta get going. I gotta train this new assistant manager. (CLEARS THROAT) I packed their lunches. Ready to go. Are you OK to... take them to school? Mm-hmm. OK. You girls have fun at school now. Bye, Daddy. See you, honey. (DOOR CLOSES) Are you OK with your spelling words, Bridge? Yes. Hey, you guys, don't forget your lunch. Come on, Megan, get out of the car. I'm coming! "(BEEP) You have no messages. (BEEP)" (HORNS SOUND, TYRES SCREECH) (SIREN) Shit! That was quite a stop there. Yeah, I just... I was totally... Yeah, I just... I got comp... Erm,... I just... I was totally just distracted. Let's just take it a little easy out there, huh? Sure. We don't want anyone getting hurt now, do we? I'm trying to figure out, should I call him? I feel like I wanna call him but I think that's breaking the rules. I think it's better if I just wait. What? Did we talk yesterday? Yeah. We talk every day. No. I mean, erm,... Did I leave you a message? I don't think so. Why? Wait a minute, hang on. I'm the one with the crisis, OK? Are you sure you're alright? Yeah. Everything's cool with you and Jim? Yeah. Everything's exactly the same. So, how was everybody's day? It was OK. Kinda boring. Yeah, kinda boring. Boring, huh? (GROANS) Jim? Jim? Jim? (SIGHS) What the...? Lithium? (CHATTERING) Thanks for coming. Here's your coffee. (CHATTERING) Here she is. Hi, honey. Did you get some rest? What's going on? Hey. How you feeling? Let's go upstairs and get some clothes on. No, I... Wanna go upstairs and get dressed? Where... Where are the girls? Girls are fine, dear. The girls are fine, honey. Don't worry about the girls. Um, this isn't right. What isn't? No, everything's fine. You need to go and get more sleep. No! I don't need any more sleep. And I don't need to wake up either. Everything's gonna be fine. No, Mother, everything's not fine! Something is really, really wrong! OK, I... He's not dead. Hi, baby. Hey. Hi. Ooh. Sorry I wasn't awake when you guys got up. Grandma said we had to let you sleep. No, baby, you can always wake me up. What's your sister doing? Swinging. Yeah? I think she's sad. Yeah. We're all a little sad right now. Bridge. Hi, baby. Oh, my God. Oh, my God, baby. Baby, what happened to your face? Baby, talk to me. How did you get these cuts? Who did this to you? Did what? The cuts! The cuts on your face. There's no cuts, Mommy. What are you talking about?! She's perfect. Like a beautiful princess. Oh, God. Come here. Come here. Just hold onto me. It's gonna be OK. It's gonna be OK. Come here. It's gonna be alright. Everything's gonna be alright. Mommy? Yeah? What was it like when Daddy died? I don't know, baby, I wasn't there. So, how did you know he died, then? (BELL TOLLS) Are you alright? What if this is a mistake? What do you mean, a mistake? People just don't die one day and are OK the next day. It's not a mistake. Jim's - OK, Mom, did you see inside the casket? No, I didn't see, dear but - Something is seriously fucked up with this situation. We need to go in the church now. No. You need to take the kids inside. Why don't you come - Just take the kids inside! Go ahead with the kids. Linda. Linda? Alright, here she comes. Hello, Mrs Hanson. Oh, I just want you to know that everything's on schedule. I need for you to open up the casket. No. That wouldn't be a good idea. Open up the casket. Not that I don't respect your wishes. Open it up, open it up. Open it! Mrs Hanson! What? I beg you to let this go. Don't do this to me. I have to warn you, there was a problem - What kind of problem? They didn't want to tell you the way he died. What about it? There was a deep cut, a severing. What kind of severing? Oh, my - NO! NO! (SCREAMS) Stop it! Get off of me! Oh, my God! Let go! Let go of me! No! No! (SOBS) Get off of me! Jim left this world a beloved person. His friends spoke about his kindness, his laugh,... ..his graciousness, his helpfulness and consideration to everyone around him. But his greatest devotion... was to his family. His "girls", as he liked to refer to them. His lovely wife, Linda,... ..his precious daughters, Megan and Bridgette. Mom? What? Who's that? What better tribute is there... Who? Her. That woman. ..in the hearts... I don't know, dear. And so, dear friends,... Linda? It's OK. It's OK. Our Father... who art is heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven... Wait! No, please wait. Wait! Stop. I'm sorry. How do you know my husband? I thought that after we talked - We talked? Yeah, yesterday. Yesterday? I... You don't remember? No! I've never met you before in my life! I'm just gonna go, OK? Please talk to me. You have all my sympathies and your girls too. Who are you? Please! Don't... < "(TV NOISE)" (CHATTERS) "Do not take with alcohol." "Dr Norman Roth." Dr Norman Roth. Mommy? Why don't you go downstairs and visit with Grandma and Aunt Annie? No. I'm sure it'd be fun. What are you looking for, Mommy? Mommy needs someone to talk to, baby. Why don't you talk to us? Baby, I love talking to you but this is grown-up talk and Mommy needs some help, OK? Come on, baby, please go downstairs. Thank you, baby. Thank you for being so good. Physicians? Dr Roth. "(PHONE RINGS) You've reached the offices of Dr Norman Roth." "We are currently closed. Our office hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 5:30pm." "If this is an emergency, please hang up and dial 911." Do you guys want some tea or coffee or anything? Can I get you something? (SIGHS) Maybe we should think about getting the girls to sleep. Oh, yeah. It's been a long couple of days. Hmm. Yes, it has. Come on with Aunty Annie. We're gonna go upstairs and get your jammies on, OK? Then I'll read you a story? Yeah? Make sure you brush your teeth. (DOORBELL CHIMES) Come in. Good evening, Mrs King. Hi there, Annie. Hello, Linda. Hello. I'm Dr Roth, remember? No, I-I... Annie. OK, girls, let's go upstairs. Mom? What's going on? Let's say good night to Mom and get our jammies on. Honey, please don't be angry. Mommy! Please don't be angry with us. Wait a second. Annie? Annie, what are you doing? Your family is worried about you. Your family cares about you. < Mommy! What are you doing? Mom, what are you doing? Annie! What else could we do? What?! Just tell us what happened to Bridgette's face! I don't know what happened. You see? That's what I mean! Mom, I would never do anything to harm my child! Mommy! For the girls' sake. Get away from me! Goddamn it! (CHILDREN SHOUT) Get off of me! You can't do this to me! What you doing? (SCREAMS) Baby, it's OK, baby. No, no, baby. It's OK, baby. It's OK. God, look at what you're doing! Stop it! No, it's OK, baby. Mommy's sorry! Mommy's very sorry! Stop it! MOM! (SOBS) Mom! (I'm sorry.) (SCREAMS) (SCREAMS) (GRUNTS) (GRUNTS) Sir, sir. Sir! (PANTS) Obviously she's never been committed before. Her husband was in a fatal car crash on Wednesday. I told her about it on Thursday. Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on. Wednesday? That's strange. She showed up in my office on Tuesday, claiming he was already dead or was gonna be. She said he was gonna die before the accident? Yeah. Are you sure it was an accident? Hello, Linda. Please don't do this. I just wanna go home to my girls. Please don't do this. Just let me go home to my girls. We can talk about that tomorrow. Please don't do this. Please don't do this. Please don't do this. Please don't. Don't. Don't, please. (GRUNTS) (GROANS) Everything's gonna be just fine. (HEART BEATS) (ALARM SOUNDS) (BELL TOLLS) (SIGHS) (WATER SPLASHES) Jim! What? You're OK. You're gonna get yourself soaked. Just give me a minute. I can hear your heart beating and it feels so good. Hold on. Hey, hey. Hold on. Everything's gonna be fine. Come on. You promise? I promise. I promise. What is it, honey? Tell me what's going on. I don't even know how to explain it. I gotta get going. I gotta... Give me a minute. One more minute. No, I gotta go. I'm running late for work. I gotta go. Girls? (RUNNING FOOTSTEPS) Morning, Mommy. Morning. Good morning, Mommy. (SOFTLY) Hey. Hi. Oh. Oh, you're so beautiful. Do you know that? You are. You're so beautiful. You're both beautiful. Oh. (CAR HORN BLARES) Listen to me. I need you to be very careful today. No playing at recess. No running around. You're holding up the line. Sit quietly, promise me. Ma'am! Just give me a second! Just promise me. Promise? I promise. OK, baby. You gotta promise me, too. Alright. Good girl. Here you go. You guys be good. (HORNS CONTINUE TO BLARE) Ma'am, come on. Please? (BUZZ) Oh! (TENSE MUSIC) You've got Mrs Lynne at three and then you're free until five. That's right. Keep that open for me. Who's this? Mrs Stevenson. Mrs Steven... Can I help you? I'm Linda Hanson. Hello, Linda. I'm Dr Roth. Do you know me? Should I? I wake up and he's dead. I wake up and he's alive. Different things around me all the time that I can't explain. Things that I've done. People talking to me. People who know me but I have never met. People like me. Yes. Seems a little complicated. Tell me about it. What about the lithium bottle? I don't know. It's... It's... I don't know. I misplaced it somewhere. Huh? I can't explain it, but I thought if somebody was... Trying to drug you? Mmm-hmm. Why and who? I don't know. You tell me. I didn't prescribe it. Your name was on the bottle. Why do you think I came here? To get some help. Obviously, you're dealing with some inconsistencies. Oh, yeah. I wake up every morning to find my husband has died again. That goes just a little beyond inconsistent. How do you feel... during the times he's dead? What? I mean, what kind of emotions run through you? Is it sorrow? Resentment? Relief? What are you saying? It's a pretty common daydream to imagine people being dead. I'm not daydreaming, OK? I wake up and he is dead. Except for today. Do you have any history of mental illness in your family? No. What about yourself? Any episodes of psychosis? Memory Loss? Judgment lapses? I don't want him dead! It was a car accident. There's no crime imagining something. I'm not imagining it. He's dead! Well, it is a little odd that the prescription was for lithium. Why? Because that's probably the best thing for you right now. It'll help you cope. Do you think you can make it in to see me here tomorrow? (TYRES SCREECH) (BELL RINGS) Hey, look who's here! Hey, Bob. Is Jim here? Yeah. How come you don't come by and see us any more? Honey? I need to talk to you. What is it? What's going on? I know I've been acting strange, but there's something wrong. What is it, the girls? No, no, no. They're fine, at least for now. Can we just go somewhere? Just us? Let's just take the girls. I can't go anywhere. I have to work. Please! I really need you. I need to go to the sales meeting. (KNOCK ON DOOR) Excuse me. Jim, we're waiting for you. I'm sorry. Who are you? I'm Claire Francis. You must be Jim's wife. Yeah. Linda. I've seen your pictures. It's nice to meet you. Hmm. Claire's our new assistant manager. Your husband's been really helpful the last few weeks. (INTERCOM) "Guys! We're starting." Excuse me. We can talk about this later. (BOTH) # Who killed Cock Robin? # "I," said the sparrow, "..with my little bow and arrow" # Who saw him die? # (THUNDER RUMBLES) Oh, Christ! Girls! Hurry! The laundry's outside. Grab it! Hurry! Start taking stuff down. I'll meet you guys outside, OK? Bridgette, no! Bridgette! Bridgette, no! (GLASS BREAKS) Baby! I'm right here. I'm right here. Megan, go get me some towels, please. (SOBS) Mommy! I got you. I got you. OK, baby. It's OK. It's OK. It's OK. It's OK, baby. She's still bleeding! Somebody, please! We need a gurney! I'm Dr Norman. What happened? She went through the glass door. Any allergies that we know about? She's allergic to codeine. Put her in 14. Ma'am, wait out here. Can I go with her? No, ma'am. We'll take care of her. Everything's gonna be fine. It's gonna be OK. Is she OK? Yeah, they just took her in. They just took her in. You alright? Huh? What happened? She was... running. I had to get the laundry. She went through the window. Honey. It's OK. It's OK. What are you doing, Mommy? We are gonna forget about mirrors for a while. Till you feel a little better. Is Bridgette gonna have ugly scars forever? I don't want any talk about scars. Alright. Because as far as I'm concerned, there are no scars. I don't care what anyone tells you, OK? You understand? Cos you're beautiful. Like a princess? Yeah. Like a princess. My two princesses. I thought you were gonna put up stickers. I did. I don't know. Maybe... Maybe I thought I did. Christ, Linda. What? What are you blaming me for this, now? I've asked your mother to come and stay while I'm gone. What? Why? Just to help. I don't need any help. Help take care of the kids. I don't need any help. Look, you can take a break. You know, get some time to yourself. For what? Time to myself for what? So I stop acting like a crazy person? What are you talking about? You're not separating me from my kids. I'm a good mom. (RUNNING WATER) God! One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Sunday. Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. Saturday. OK, erm, Thursday, find out Jim died. Find out Jim died. Erm... Monday, Jim alive again. Again. Er, funeral's on... The funeral happened when? Saturday. Funeral. And what else? What else? What else? We have... Lithium is on Saturday. Er, Tuesday. Tuesday. We have on Tuesday... We have... (BANGS ON DESK) Except for today. Meet Dr Roth on Tuesday and I am... Oh! Committed on Saturday by Dr Roth. Bridgette's cuts happen on... Bridgette! Bridgette! (GLASS BREAKS) Mommy. Tuesday. Friday and Sunday are still open and Wednesday. Wednes... "You have one new message." 'When?' Yesterday. Oh, God. Jim... dies... ..Wednesday. What are you doing? Jim, don't go on this trip, please. I have to. We've waited a year for this interview. Besides, it could be good for us. Take a break from each other. (Well, it might be a bigger break than you bargained for.) What if something happens to you? Something could happen on my way home from work. Should I not work? You want me to beg? Please don't go. You have children and a family. Why are you saying that? You think I've forgotten that? I haven't. I realise that. I didn't say that. Just listen. No, just stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Just do me one favour. If tomorrow's Wednesday, just please wake me up before you leave. If tomorrow's Wednesday? I know it sounds crazy. Just please wake me up. Jesus! Promise me. I promise. OK. OK. 1 1 1 1 Oh, that guest bed is just awful. Mom. That's right. You stayed over. Did you forget I was here? No, no, no. I remember now. So that would have to be Friday. Friday. Friday morning. Friday morning. Alright. Alright. OK. There's two days left. This is Sunday and there's Friday. How do we know that? Shit! Are you alright? Shit! Claire. Claire Francis. Who's Claire Francis? Who's Claire? Who's Claire? Who's Claire Francis? We talked? Yeah, yesterday. You don't remember? Claire. Claire. Mom, I have to go. What? You need to be with the girls. You had a shock yesterday. Tell me about it. (DOORBELL) Is there something we should be talking about? Something involving my husband? Who told you? I think you just did. 'He was gonna cheat on me.' He what?! Well, wait a minute. How do you know? How did... you find out? I talked to her. She told me everything. When? Today. Oh, hon, I'm sorry. Are you still in shock? No. No, I passed up shock a couple of days ago. The whole thing is bad. The accident, the other woman, it's a mess. I don't know if it's so bad. Maybe it was supposed to happen. What do you mean? Even though he didn't do anything yet, the damage that it would've caused us, the girls,... ..maybe it was enough that he was going to. Are you listening to what you're saying? We were roommates, Annie. We were roommates with two girls, and my roommate was a liar. Your mortgage and your daughters' education should be taken care of. And with the annuity Jim left you, you should be pretty much set. You know, Linda, I have to tell you, the timing on all this... Timing? Jim stopped in to see me Wednesday morning, right before his trip. Wednesday? Yeah. He seemed very anxious, like he wasn't quite sure of things. He kept talking about you and the girls. He said that, no matter what happened, he wanted to make sure you're all OK. Then he tripled his death benefits. I mean, it's not a problem. The police reports all confirm it was an accident. I'll just get this cleared and I should have a cheque for you fairly soon. Nice view, huh? Yes, very. You have a family? I have two daughters but, er... It's no big deal. Happens to a lot of people. They drive by here just like you did. See the houses by this beautiful lake and suddenly say to themselves, "What a great place to start over." I moved here after my divorce. Really? Yeah, it's great. It's like a whole new life. This moss pink velvet is very nice. I would like that for the showroom. And... Miss Dwight, I'll have to call you back. Thank you. Hello. I'm Dorothy Quinn. I know. Got it? Hi, honey. Hi, Mom. Hey, you. One for you. Cool! Thanks. And one for you. Thank you, Mommy. You're welcome. You know how much I love you, right? Linda? Yeah. I don't want to upset you. What is it, Mom? I know this is very difficult, but I really do think we need to drive out to the funeral home. I'll go with you. It's done. What? I already made all the arrangements. Oh. Well, when were you thinking of having the...? The funeral is tomorrow. It's all set. Saturday? Saturday. That soon? Yes, that soon. 1 1 Are you OK, hon? Hey, Mom? Mm-hmm. If I let Jim die, is that the same thing as killing him? Honey, Jim's already dead. Good night, dear.

(GROANS) (It's Sunday.) All day long. Hey, why don't you take the girls out for a while? You guys should spend some time together. You can go have some fun. Yeah. OK. That's a good idea. (GIRLS GIGGLE) You want Daddy to make you some pancakes for breakfast? (BOTH) Yeah! Hello, Father. Linda. It's been a long time. I'm scared, Father. (DUCKS SQUAWK / GIRLS LAUGH) 1632, Dutch trading colony off the coast of Carolina. An hysterical midwife claimed to have walked through the aftermath of a terrible hurricane that hadn't happened yet. So, what happened? They hung her for being a witch. Two days later, the entire town was wiped out by a gale force hurricane. That's awful. I'll skip ahead to the 20th century. Boston, 1918. At the height of the influenza epidemic, a father told friends he'd been to the future and seen the graves of his two small children. He went insane and shot them both to spare them the disease. Oh, my God. The autopsy showed the children were never infected. He shot himself a week later. Who are these people? Why did it happen? You see, history's full of unexplained phenomena. Nobody knows why. Some people thought they suffered from what the ancients called Blasphemare absens fides. The dangers of the faithless. The faithless? It's the notion that nature abhors a vacuum, even a spiritual one. People who've lost their beliefs, they're like empty vessels, more susceptible to having their lives taken over by forces bigger than themselves. Almost like a curse. Or a miracle. (SIGHS) Yeah, well, I don't believe in miracles. Every day we're alive can be a miracle. Well, it doesn't feel that way. Not for me. Father, something bad is going to happen. I need your... I need your help. I need your direction. I need faith. Faith is just believing in something beyond yourself, something you can't feel, or smell, or touch. Like hope or love. I believe I've let that all go. Maybe you should try and get it back again, huh? But if it's too late... It's never too late to realise what's important in your life, to fight for it. I don't know what to fight for. (CROW CAWS) 'He was on the highway, around mile marker 220.' 'Mrs Hanson?' 'Ma'am?' 'Why did it happen?' 'History's full of unexplained phenomenon.' 'Bridgette! No, Bridgette!' 'Nobody knows why.' 'Open it up! Open it up!' 'No!' 'Obviously, you're dealing with some inconsistencies.' 'No!' 'Dangers of the faithless.' 'I'm Claire Francis. Your husband's been really helpful.' 'Jim.' 'How do you feel during the times he's dead?' 'We don't want anyone getting hurt.' 'If I let Jim die...' 'It's never too late.' 'Is that the same thing as killing him?' 'Inconsistencies.' (CAR HORN BLARES) 1 Did you guys have a good time? Yeah. Yeah. We had a great time. Good. Let me help you with that. Smells good. (GIRLS GIGGLE) Oh, good girls. Mwah! (GROANS) Night. (BOTH) Night. Mwah. Here, kiss. (Why don't you girls go give your dad another hug, nice and tight?) OK. (GROANS) What's this all about? Mama said to give you extra hugs. Extra hugs? Oh, how about extra hugs and extra kisses? Now, off to bed. Go brush your teeth. Tell Daddy how much you love him. Love you, Daddy. Me, too! Well, thank you, Ladies. Aren't you gonna tell them? Tell them what? That you love them. You do love them, don't you? Of course I do. Then tell them. You girls know how much I love you, right? Huh? Right? I love you more than anything in the whole wide world. Mom, too? More than anything? I do love your mom. I love her very much. (THUNDER RUMBLES) Linda! What are you doing out here? Honey, let's go back inside. How did we get here, Jim? I miss you! I miss us! There's still an us. It's just different now, that's all. Why? I don't know! What did you expect us to be like? The way we used to be! (THUNDER RUMBLES) Look at us. We're married. We got a house, a mortgage, two kids! Why do we have to talk about this now? Cos we're running out of time! (CRACKLES) Watch out! (RAIN PATTERS) I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. What? What? You have that look. What look? Like you want to tell me something. I had a dream you're gonna die. That was only a dream. Everything's gonna be fine. (PHONE RINGS) Hello? Annie! Annie, what day is it today? It's, erm... It's Wednesday. It's Wednesday. What's the matter? Shit! Girls? Girls? Jim? Jim? Jim? Shoot! "Took the girls to school. Be back tomorrow." (DIALS / PHONE RINGS) "Hi, this is Jim Hanson. I can't get to your call right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible." "Thanks for calling." (TYRES SCREECH) I should be able to take care of this right away. No problem. Thanks, Doug. (PHONE RINGS) Hey. "I just got to the room." It's really nice. I can't wait for you to get here. Jim? Is something wrong? Yeah. I'm sorry, I can't. I can't do this. Do what? The interview? Us. Jim. "Jim." "(PHONE RINGS)" Pick up. Pick up, Jim. Pick up. (PHONE RINGS) "Hi, you've reached the Hanson residence." (JIM, GIRLS) "You know what to do." Listen, Linda, I need to tell you something. I meant what I said in front of the girls the other night, and... Well, I just... I want you to know that. "And please remember it." (PHONE BEEPS) Dammit. Someone's calling. Hold on. Is that you? Linda? Jim? I love you, honey. (HEAVES A SIGH OF RELIEF) I need to tell you something. It's alright, I know about her. I know about Claire. You do? Yeah. I have to explain it, but it's... Honey, listen. I thought that's what I wanted, but I don't. "I just..." I want to make things better. "Between us." Whatever it takes. I see you. I see you. I'm coming up right behind you. "You are?!" I'm pulling over. Thank you. Thank you. "I can see you, honey." Oh, no! Jim, do you love me? Do you trust me? "Of course I do." Then turn around now. What? I... "I don't understand." "Turn it around." (CAR HORN BLARES) Jim! Are you OK? Jim! Jim. Baby, are you alright? Jim? (GROANS) "Can you hear me? Are you OK?" "Baby, can you hear me?" Sorry, I dropped the phone. I love you.
