"That's a nice name, Vivienne." "Hey, how you spell that?" "V-I-V-I-E-N-N-E." "Can't keep your eyes off me, can you?" " Off what, Vivienne?" " My legs." "Pity to leave you so soon, Vivienne." "Well..." "I'm in no real hurry." "Well, what do you know?" "Neither am I." "You've been eating those knees the whole way." "Shouldn't your eyes have been on the road?" "I suppose they should've." "You can kiss me if you want." "Don't mind if I do." "(Giggling)" " What the fuck?" " (Laughs )" "Two things, Walter." " One, get out of the car slowly." " Mm-hmm." "And two, get your ass back to Stapleton and tell Silverman to check out the Carlton Hotel." "Why are we here?" "That's my home." "A lake?" "You live in a lake?" "Did once." "(Splash)" "(Whispering) Where did you go, Vivian?" "Please, please don't leave me now." "(Footsteps )" "Wanna come over to my house, Claire?" "Yeah." "I have to warn you, it's haunted." "Who's it haunted by?" "You." "I'll show you how to get there." "You can drive now." "Vivian, is there a girl in your house called Ruby?" "Ruby?" "Yeah." " She's dying to meet you." " Oh, God." "You thought it was a real orchard?" "That's the thing about dreams, They're always right... and always wrong." "You have to drive inside, OK?" "I'll open the door." "You know this place, don't you, Claire?" " Yes." " You know the funny thing?" "What's the funny thing?" "I know you got a gun in the band of the nurse's dress you're wearing." " I do?" " You do!" "And it's not very nice, you meeting' Ruby with a gun." "Might get her upset." "Might get me upset... and bring the apples down on all of us." " Where is Ruby?" " Ubi est Ruby?" "I'm not tellin' till you gimme the gun." "You know what happens when the apples fall?" "." "I don't." "# First the tide" "# Rushes in" "# Plants a kiss" "# On the shore" "# Then rolls... #" "I'm so, so sorry, sorry, sorry, Claire." "All I wanted was a family." "I knew there was a dreamer out there like me, cos I was dreamin' of her." "I wanted her to be my family." "And I took her little girl." "And the little girl cried and hollered, and I punished her like any dad would." " And she was lying..." " (Sobbing) quiet, beautiful... but like a doll now." " That's the part I'm sorry for." " (Gasping)" "But I'm gonna make it up to you." "I'm gonna work... real hard." "Make it perfect." "I'm not gonna get upset anymore now that I've got you here, and I got us Ruby for a daughter now." "Claire and Vivian and Ruby." "(Chuckles )" "Did you..." "Did you get upset with Ruby, Vivian?" " Not yet." "Not yet." " Did you?" "Are you gonna get upset with me?" "Not if you love me like Mama loves Dad." "Will you?" "I'll do that, Vivian." "I'll do that." "You wouldn't just pretend?" "How could I pretend?" "How could I pretend with you, Vivian?" "You know me inside and out." "Things are gonna be perfect... when I see Ruby." "As perfect as they can be in this valley of tears." " Oh, Lordy." " What the fuck is this?" "Her dream, Rosco." "Your nightmare." "(Vivian ) Ruby, guess who's here?" "Say hi to Ruby, Claire." " Hello, Ruby." " Are you a ghost?" "No, I'm not." "She was a ghost when she wasn't here." "Now she's just plain old Claire." "Why don't you go down in the garden and show Ruby you're not a ghost?" "He said you were coming." "You took a long time." "I know." "It was gettin' kinda lonesome here just the two of us, huh?" "I suppose." "This is Marge." "She was Vivian's doll before he gave her to me." "Say hello to Claire, Marge." "That nice lady is not a ghost." "Hello, Claire!" "Welcome home!" "Welcome home, Claire." " She's followed him." " Who?" "Vivian Thompson." "He escaped through that grate." "Murdered a nurse." " When?" " 25 years ago." "October 1972." " I'm lost, Doctor." " Join the club." "He killed her daughter." "She shares his dreams." "He snatched another little girl called Ruby." "She's gone to stop him." "Call the police." "Show them this." " Where are you going?" " Hammond, the Carlton Hotel." "I'll make us somethin' to eat." "Is anyone hungry?" "How about "pasghetti"?" "Daddies can be just like mommies, you know that?" " Can they, honey?" " Vivian said so." "They can cook too." "What else did he tell you, Ruby?" "Told me my real mom is up in Heaven waiting for me." "That's Vivian's mom there." "(Claire ) That's a tailor's dummy, Ruby." "I know, but that's the kind of clothes she wore." " Why does he keep them?" " For playing mom." "He's very good at it." "You should hear the way his voice changes." "Why does he do that?" "He says his daddy was a dollar and his mommy was a song." "A song?" ""Don't Sit Under The Apple Tree With Anyone Else But Me."" "So that's his mother's song." "That's what she was, that song." "I don't like the cold." "Ruby..." "Ruby, listen to me, OK?" "Vivian's sick, honey, and he needs help." " It's possible he could hurt you." " You're scaring me." " I'm gonna take you away from here." " Vivian!" "Shh!" "Quiet!" "I've been looking for the can opener, but I can't...find it!" "I know it's down there." "Sometimes Mommy and Daddy fight and that's bad." "Sometimes they fight and that's good." "She's so, so, so tired." "You help me find it?" "Cos you're the girl." "And when we find it you can have some...snacks." "And then when she wakes up we'll feed her too." "You gonna say you're sorry now?"

"# Don't sit under the apple tree with anyone else but me" "# Till I come marching home... #" "(Song continues, muffled)" "(Whimpers )" "(Ruby ) You got him real mad." "That's why he put you in bad mommy's clothes." "He says he's disappointed in you." "He told me you'd be the loveliest mommy in the whole wide world." "Does your face hurt?" "I can kiss it better." "Is that better?" "Are you tied too tight?" "I'd loosen it, but he might get mad again." " I'd never seen him mad before." " (Vivian ) Ruby!" " Dr Silverman?" " Yeah." "You know this place?" "I was told about it." "Let's get some light in there." "Sweet Jesus!" "(Vivian ) # ..with anyone else but me" "# Anyone else but me" "# With anyone else but me #" "Bedtime, Ruby." "Undo me, OK?" "Time to move over, Claire." "Thank you, sweetums." "Go snuggle up with Mommy." "I'd never hurt you, Claire." "(Chuckles ) Didn't mind hurting Paul, though, did I?" "I thought you'd be a better mommy." "My mom was no good either." "She... wore dresses like that." "# Never knew my dad" "# Mom was all I had #" "NO!" "Please?" "Got eyes in the back of my head." "When Mom said it was time for bed, I..." "I believed her." "Sorry if I'm moody." "It's been a long day." "Things didn't turn out the way..." "I thought they would." "Now I'm gonna kiss you..." " good night." " Ah!" " Ow." " Take a cheek, Ruby." "(Gasping)" " Oh, God." " Shh." " Claire?" " Shh, shh, shh, shh." "Yes?" " Claire?" " Yes?" "I just had a bad dream." "I dreamt my mommy was dead in the lake... and she had your face." "(Sobs )" "Does that mean you're gonna kill me?" "I hope not." " Any word on the car she took?" " It was seen on Route Nine." " Great, let's go." " All right." "You're not such a bad mom." "Don't get him mad again." "(Screams )" "I don't like you any more." " I die in the lake, remember?" " I forgot that." " Maybe you develop a limp." " I emptied it." "(Claire ) Run!" "Run, Ruby!" "Run!" "Wait!" "Stop." "Come here." "Now, you gotta be brave now, Ruby." " You gotta be brave, honey." " Yes." "You gotta come with me." " It's me he wants, not you." " Claire!" "Vivian." "Mom?" "You gonna say you're sorry now?" "I...don't..." "WANNA!" "(Sirens wailing)" "Route Nine." "Just made visual contact with ground units." "(Vivian, wailing) Mom!" "Something's wrong." "Mom?" "(Whispers ) The cat got my tongue." "Mom?" "It hurts real bad." "Ruby, where the fuck are you?" "!" "(Vivian ) Claire!" "It still hurts!" "Gonna kiss and make it better!" "Every couple has their problems." "We have to talk!" "Two-six to dispatch." "I have a young girl fitting the description of the subject." "Don't you want to work it out?" "Or is it just too late for me and you?" "I know how it goes now - Ruby makes it to the road." "She stops a car, maybe a police car." "The policeman comes in and there's all this hostage stuff!" " Is that how it goes?" " Uh-huh." "Maybe Claire breaks her neck!" "Oh, I don't want this to happen(!" ")" "I really went out of my way to bring you here!" " Maybe Claire jumps!" " No, please!" "Claire!" "(Screams ) Claire!" "We got a lead."
