"(orchestral music playing)" "(music continues throughout)" "Sir, uh..." "Yeah, you're good." "You can back up a little more if you want." "I think you need the..." "I think you need that extra..." "I don't think he can hear you." "Sir?" "Sir, can you hear me up there?" " Do you copy, sailor?" " (laughs)" "He's in a different county." "That's how big the fucking thing is." "It's like five feet." " And look... and now he stops." " He can get a little closer." "He's got five feet here." "That's good, that's..." "stop stop stop!" "(creaks, engine revving)" "Groom:" "Wait wait wait wait wait." " You're a little close." " Driver:" "Is it all right?" "Keep going a little bit maybe." " Oh no no." "No no no no no." " He can't hear..." "I don't..." "No, he's going to hit that." " Driver:" "Please be careful." " I will." " It's not my car." " I promise." "Okay, um... around to the... to the left, sir, please." "Stop there, sir." " Straighten up, sir!" " Yeah, I think I'm good now, right?" "Groom:" "You're not even looking." "Well, I can see it's not looking good." "I am." "I'm a very experienced limo driver." "(Justine mutters)" "Groom:" "You're, like, really close on that side." " Really?" " Yeah, don't go any further forward." "Just straight..." "Justine:" "Okay, how do I put it in...?" "Groom:" "What?" "Groom:" "Turn it off." "Turn it off." "This way?" "!" " Get out of the way!" " Further, come on." "(honks)" " (thuds) - (groom bangs on hood)" "Sorry." "(laughs)" "I know." "Justine:" "We're sorry." "I won't even bother saying how late you are." "We're so sorry, guys." "Really sorry." "Hi, honey." "Hi, Claire." "So sorry." " Hi, John." " Hi." "We probably should have taken something smaller." "Whose brilliant idea was it to rent the stretch?" "(whispering) The road was like this and then the car..." "This is very much not my project, okay?" "I spent the whole week with the dullest man on earth." "Not to mention the most expensive wedding planner on the planet." "Okay, so you... you want this?" "Yeah, of course." " We're only there." " Mm-hmm." "And that was two hours ago." " Okay." " Okay, let's go." " Groom:" "All right, let's do this." " Justine:" "Okay." " What star is that?" " Groom:" "I don't know." "John, you're a bit of an expert on stars, aren't you?" " Well, I wouldn't say that." " Claire:" "Yes, you would." "John:" "Which one are you looking at exactly?" "Justine:" "The red one." "I'm amazed that you can see that." "That's Antares." "It's the main star in the Scorpio constellation." "Claire:" "Justine?" "Ooh, we just have to go to the stables and say hi to Abraham." " Claire:" "No, you're not." " Oh yes." " Groom:" "Who's Abraham?" " (Justine squeals)" "(kissing)" "Abraham." "Look, I'm married." "Michael's my husband now." "I'm sure you two will like each other." "Michael:" "Nice to meet you." "I'm his mistress." "I'm the only one who can ride him." "Well, that's not exactly true." "What?" "John:" "Occasionally I take him for a ride." "Justine:" "See you later." "I can no longer be silent." "All the guests are waiting for more than two hours." " I know." " I'm at the end of my rope." "Welcome to the reception of Ms. Justine and Mr. Michael." " Thank you." " Thank you, Little Father." "Would you be so good as to participate in the wedding bean lottery?" "Both:" "Of course." "Please submit your bid as to the total number of beans in the bottle." "Yes, uh uh..." "Two million and six beans." " Two million and six beans." " Yes." "And would you care to make a bid on behalf of your wife?" "Oh, I don't dare to do that." " I really don't." " Very well." "We'll let Madame's bid remain open." "(organ music playing)" "(applauding)" " We made it!" " (cheering)" "How are you?" " Mommy's here." " Hi, Mom." "Woman:" "Lovely dress." "Congratulations, Aunt Steelbreaker." "Thanks, Leo!" "(laughs)" " Justine:" "What's this?" " A dagger." "Wow!" "Ah!" "Sweetheart." "Let me introduce you." "This is Betty." " Both:" "Hi." " And Betty." " Hi, nice to meet you." " Hi." "Betty and Betty, this is my daughter Justine." " Hi, nice to meet you." " Hi, nice to meet you." "I'm just going to say hi to everybody." "Of course you must." "Of course you must." "Justine:" "Hey." " (silverware clanks)" " Ladies and gentlemen, we've waited a while for this." "A toast to the bride and the groom." " Man:" "Justine and Michael." " Justine and Michael." "(music plays briefly)" "Man:" "Regarding speeches, talk to me." " (talking softly)" " No." "Always trays from left to right." " Always left to right." " Oh." "Left to right." "(softly) Justine, I don't want to make a speech." "Why?" " Please." " No." "(softly) Okay." "What are you doing?" "You'll see what I'm doing." "Excuse me." "(spoons clank)" "Neither of the ladies sitting next to me has been given a spoon." "And they'd very much like to have one." " Excuse me." " (laughing)" "Thank you." "(woman laughing)" " Betty 2:" "You're terrible." " Waiter?" "Justine, would you mind slapping your father for me... hard, please?" "(tapping goblet)" "Tim." "Justine, listen up, God damn it." "As most of you know," "I'm here tonight playing a sort of double role." "On Michael's side, I'm the best man." "But coincidentally I'm also the employer of the bride." "I've got nothing bad to say about the groom, but the bride... (laughter)" "Justine, you gorgeous woman." "Where is my tagline?" "You're always great at coming up with a tagline in a hurry." "What happened?" "Did your emotional life suddenly take over?" "Did finding the man of your life render you unable to work?" "I'm just asking, because if I were to choose between a woman for my dear friend Michael and an employee," "I would always choose the employee." "(laughter)" "Advertising, Justine." " Advertising." " Man:" "Hmmm." "Justine, you were... way way way too good for advertising." "You know it and I know it and we all know it." "So thank you for staying with it." "I'm gonna let you and the rest of you think about this tagline now, while I leak a bit of news." "Today the company hasn't lost a copywriter, the company has gained a new art director," " and that's you, Justine." " (murmuring, applause)" "Congratulations." "God damn it, you're worth it." "Justine:" "Thank you so much." "The father of the bride wants a word." "(spoon clangs)" "(scattered chuckles)" "My dear girl, you look... glowing today." "And me, I'm just a little confused, what with all the Bettys at my table." "(laughter)" "Never seen you look so happy." "Father:" "So what can I say without talking about your mother, my wife of yesteryear?" "Which is exactly what I don't wish to do." "But I don't think that I would be revealing any secret if I were to say that she can be rather domineering at times." "Domineering?" "What a load of crap." "Mother:" "For those who don't know who I am," "I am Claire and Justine's mother." "Justine, if you have any ambition at all it certainly doesn't come from your father's side of the family." "Yes." "I wasn't at the church." "I don't believe in marriage." "Claire, who I've always taken for a sensible girl, you've arranged a spectacular party." "Till death do us part and forever and ever," "Justine and Michael." "I just have one thing to say... enjoy it while it lasts." "I myself hate marriages." "Gaby, please." "Especially when they involve some of my closest family members." "(softly) Why did you even bother coming?" "(scattered applause)" "(laughter)" "(Michael speaking softly)" "Justine, come with me." "Listen to me." "We agreed that you weren't going to make any scenes tonight." "We don't want any scenes." "No, we don't!" "(huffs) No." "Look at me when I'm talking to you." "But I didn't do anything." "You know what I mean." "Okay." "Okay." "(goblet clanks)" "Ahem." "Catherine has demanded the floor." "(murmuring, applause)" "(guests chanting) Catherine, Catherine, Catherine." "(chanting continues)" "(applause within)" "(urinating)" "(voices overlapping)" "Where is the bride?" "I look everywhere... no bride." "(goblet clanks)" "Jack:" "Now the groom is going to give a speech to the bride." "(applause)" "Dear Justine... um..." "(babbling)" "You see what you're doing to me here?" "I've never given a speech before." "Ahem..." "I'm sorry, that's..." "I'm serious." "I've never given a speech before." "Justine is the speaker." "She can say the most... the most wonderful things, but..." "Then let her make the speech, damn it." "(scattered laughs)" "Justine... (stammers) I love you s-so much." "And I never even dreamed that I would have such a... such a gorgeous wife." "Um..." "I believe that I am the luckiest man on earth." "I love you." "That's... that's kind of it." "That's all I have." "Jack:" "To the bride and groom." "Now, everyone, we're going to move to the living room, so that we can clear some tables." "Um, then the newlyweds will dance." "And then at 11:30, the bride and groom will cut the cake in here." "(applause)" "(band playing "La Bamba")" "Leo wants to be put to bed." "Sweetie, you did so good." " I wanna do it." " No, tonight's your night." "Justine:" "No, please?" " Are you sure?" " Yeah." " Come on." " Good night, sweetheart." "Come here." "(music continues)" "Are you comfy?" "When are we gonna build caves together?" "Oh, we're gonna build lots of caves together." "Just not tonight." "'Cause you're my Aunt Steelbreaker, aren't you?" "Yes, that's exactly who I am." "(whispers) Justine?" "(softly) Hi, Claire." "I'm just taking a little nap." "Don't nap." "It's your wedding." "You're not even halfway through yet." "No, you're right." "(sighs)" "I have to pull myself together." "What's going on, Justine?" "I'm... trudging through this... gray... woolly yarn." "It's clinging to my legs." "It's really heavy to drag along." "No, you're not." "I know you hate to hear it." "Don't say a word to Michael." "Do you think I'm stupid?" "Hey, I'll get her." " And Mom too." " Yeah." "Justine, it's John." "We're ready to cut the cake, sweetheart." "Please come downstairs as soon as you can, okay?" "Gaby?" "Gaby." "Gaby, I'm sorry to disturb you, but we're ready to cut the cake." "(water sloshes)" "When Justine took her first crap on her potty I wasn't there." "When she had her first sexual intercourse, I wasn't there." "So give me a break, please, with all your fucking rituals." "Unbelievable." "Fucking unbelievable!" "(door slams)" "Everybody, thank you for being so patient." "We're just having a little issue with the wedding dress." "She'll be right down." "Those bitches have locked themselves in their bedrooms and now they're taking a bath." "Is everybody in your family stark raving mad?" " This is embarrassing." " I know." "We should have put showers in the guest wing." "I've said it a hundred times." "For fuck's sake, if people wanna linger in a bath, stay at home!" "Here, we offer you an 18-hole golf course." "Where else are they going to get that?" "Nowhere." "Unbelievable!" " That's it, she's out." " What, Justine?" "Your mother!" "(mutters) I've had it." " (water splashes)" " Unbelievable." "(thumps)" "(crickets chirping)" "(music playing)" "She ruined my wedding." "I will not look at her." "Yeah, we don't want to cut..." "(laughs)" " Guest:" "Go, Michael." " Michael:" "All right." " It's standing." " (laughter)" " Like that." "It's got a..." " (applause)" "Yeah, it's..." "Guests:" "Oh-hh..." "Everybody, "Cheese." Here we go." "(camera shutters clicking)" "I'm sorry." "No, don't say that." "You should never say you're sorry." "I can see that you're not feeling well and I... well, I should have seen it already yesterday," "but I..." "I haven't been taking care of you lately." "It's my fault." "Hmm-mm." "Can we... can we..." "can we talk somewhere?" " Of course." " All right." "Uh, sit down, please?" "I wasn't going to give you this until tomorrow." "I found our plot of land." "Huh." "They're called Empire apples." "And they're bright red and very sweet, but with a perfect tartness." "(chuckles) I had one as a kid." "Beautiful, huh?" "And in 10 years' time when the trees have grown, you can, you can sit in the shade in a chair and... if you still have days when you're feeling a little sad," "I..." "I think that will..." "that will make you happy again." "That's very sweet." "Yeah?" " No wonder you've been so busy." " Yeah." "I si..." "I signed the deed for us yesterday and I didn't want to tell you." " Justine:" "Here." " No, I... you should have it." "I want you to have it with you all the time." "And... and hold on to it so you can look at it once in a while." "I'll always keep it with me." "Maybe we could have a little swing hanging from one of the trees." "We'll talk about that when the time comes." "Yeah yeah, no." "Of course." "When the time comes." "(whispers) Goodbye." "(door shuts)" "John:" "You'd better be goddamn happy." "Yes, I should be." "I really should be." "Do you have any idea how much this party cost me?" "A ballpark figure?" "No." "I don't." " Should I?" " Yes, I think you should." "A great deal of money." "A huge amount of money." "In fact for most people, an arm and a leg." "I hope you feel it's well spent." "Well, that depends on whether or not we have a deal." " A deal?" " Yes, a deal." "That you be happy." "Yes, of course." "Of course we have a deal." "Good." "Congratulations." "I tried to throw your mother out." "Yes, you usually do." "Yes, I do." " Huh..." " Thank you." "It's a wonderful party you've given me." "How many holes are on our golf course?" " 18." " That's right." "(jazz music playing)" "Happy?" "Yeah?" "Meet this young man." " Congratulations." " Thank you." " Anyway, I'm Tim." " Hi, Tim." "Tim started working for us two days ago." "He happens to be my nephew, but ignore that." "Tim thought I wouldn't be able to squeeze that tagline out of you tonight." "No, I..." "I thought it might be difficult." "You're colleagues." "I hired him the moment I heard about his education." "Oh, okay." "What education is perfect if you want to make it in public relations?" "Tim?" "None at all, of course." "(chuckles)" "Jack:" "It was almost too perfect." "He knows nothing." "I hired him on the spot." "And at a very good salary, what do you say, Tim?" "A ver..." "a very good salary." "Welcome then, Tim." "There's just a slight catch to the very good job with the very good salary." "The salary's very good." "Why, what're you pushing Tim into doing?" "To get that damn tagline out of you tonight." "Otherwise he's out on his ear..." "which sucks" " considering the debts he's in." " Goodbye." "Jack:" "Once you give her a job she won't let go." "You gotta be there at the time of birth." "So you follow her now." "I mean it." "Get that tagline." "(music continues)" "Do let me know if the tagline's there and I'll jot it down." " Spare me." " (door slams)" "I'll go out for a minute." "I'm really sorry." "I'm thrilled about this wedding." "And I know it's costing John a lot of money." "John's filthy rich." "He needs to shut up about it." "It's not about the cost." "It's just that I thought you really wanted this." "But I do." "Michael has tried to get through to you all evening," " to no avail." " That's not true." "I smile and I smile and I smile." "You're lying to all of us." "(door slams)" "(sniffles)" "(slams)" "Don't you miss this?" "What do you want in this place?" "You've no business here." "Nor have I." "Your sister it seems is somewhat bewitched by it all." "Mom..." "I'm a bit scared." "A bit?" "I'd be scared out of my wits if I were you." "No, it's something else." "I..." "I'm frightened, Mom." "I have trouble walking properly." "You can still wobble, I see." "So just wobble the hell out of here." "Stop dreaming, Justine." " I'm scared." " We all are, sweetie." "Just forget it." "Get the hell out of here." "(music playing)" "No thank you." " (Michael coughs) - (laughs)" "Everyone, excuse me." "Could you all follow us outside, please?" " (applause)" " Betty, Betty, Betty!" "Another glass, please." "Are you really called Betty?" " No sir, I'm not." " Don't worry about it." "Dad, can we talk?" "Guests:" "Cheers." "(guests cheering)" "(applause)" "Guests:" "Oh-hh!" "(cheering)" "(sighs)" "Could you sit with me for a little while?" " Justine:" "Wait." " What?" "Justine:" "Give me... give me..." "Michael, can you give me a moment?" " What's that?" "What's that?" " Just give me a moment, please." "Can I have a moment, please?" "Yeah, of course." " Help." " Huh?" "Can you zip me?" "(Michael grunts)" " (grunts) - (hisses)" "You okay?" "Okay." "(birds chirping)" "Ahem." "Hi." "(grunts)" "(Tim grunts)" "Women:" "Whoo!" "(all laughing)" "(music plays softly)" "Michael's father:" "Good night." "Have a good time." "Michael's mother:" "Good night." "I'm on my way home, my darling." "Please, Dad." "I really need to talk to you." "Little Father?" "My dad would like to spend the night." " Is there a room available?" " Room #8 is vacant." "I could prepare that for your father." " Well." " Yeah, my father would like that." "Then we can have breakfast in the morning." "Justine!" "Justine." "Why don't you come and have some onion soup with us?" "Jack:" "Tim, get us some soup." "So how's your wonderful night going?" "(chuckles) It's too bad about Tim." "Justine:" "What about Tim?" "That he got fired." "He didn't last many hours in the business, but then again, it's a rather unpredictable one." "You're king one day and beggar the next." "So you go back to wherever you came from, right, buddy?" "I'm glad we found each other, Jack." "I was looking for you." "Didn't I tell you?" "She can't stop working, not even on her wedding night." "I had nothing at the dinner, but I've been toying with an idea for a small campaign." "The problem is how do we effectively hook a group of minors on our substandard product, preferably in a habit-forming way?" "And I've reached a conclusion in regards to the tagline." "I was just thinking... what if instead we try and sell you to the public, Jack?" "Well then, surprisingly," "I arrived right back where I started from... at nothing." ""Nothing"?" "It's not such a bad tagline, Jack." "Would my newly-fledged A.D. please expand a little on her thoughts for the tagline?" "Nothing is too much for you, Jack." "I hate you and your firm so deeply" "I couldn't find the words to describe it." "You are a despicable power-hungry little man, Jack." "Is that a resignation?" "Because there aren't too many jobs out there, I tell you." "(bangs)" "I dropped my plate." "(smashes)" "So I, um," "I guess we'll... take off for now." "Yes." "Things could have been a lot different." "Yes, Michael, they could have been." "But, Michael... what did you expect?" "Yeah." "You're right." "Justine:" "Claire?" "Sometimes I hate you so much." "Tim:" "The way I see it, you're now short of a boss and a husband." "Could I, in all humility, offer my services?" "You have the ideas." "I have the head for business." "We could be the perfect couple." "We've had good sex." "I don't think that's a very good idea." "No." "No." "Excuse me, the result is ready." " What?" " Uh, the number of beans in the bottle has been arrived at." "And?" "678." " That's the final count." " 600 and..." " 78?" " And none of the guests got it right." " Really?" " Some were pretty close, but no one guessed right." "Incredible." " You could say that." " Incredibly trivial." "But that's the result of the competition." "And a lot of people would like to know the result." "And then there is the prize." "Throw it away." "(birds chirping)" "Dad?" "Father's voice:" ""To my beloved daughter Betty." "I'm as proud of you as any father could be, but I couldn't find you and I was offered a ride home" "I couldn't refuse." "See you soon." "Kisses from your stupid dad."" "Justine, wake up." "Wake up." "We're going for a ride." "(moans)" "But I tried, Claire." "Yes, you did." "Claire:" "You really did." "(faint galloping)" " (neighs)" " Justine:" "Come on." "Come on, Abraham." "Come." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on!" "The red star is missing from Scorpio." "Antares is no longer there." "I swear to God, your sister can't do anything by herself." "Hello, darling." "How are you?" "Just do as I've told you." "There's a taxi down in the street waiting for you." "(softly) I already told her that." "Just open the door" " and get in." " Unbelievable." "Just get in the cab, darling." "Well, then call me back if you can't make it to the cab." "No, we'll pay for it when you arrive, don't worry about it." "We'll see about that." "I love you, darling." "Jesus, John, she's my sister." "Oh, please." "She's a bad influence on you and Leo." " She's ill." " Right." "Have you been going online again?" "Claire, you promised." "I'm afraid of that stupid planet." ""That stupid planet." That wonderful planet, you mean." "First it was black." "Now it's blue, blocking Antares and hiding behind the sun." "Darling, this is going to be the most amazing experience we will have in our lives." "It will be here in five days and it is not going to hit us." "Just like it didn't hit Mercury, as we knew it wouldn't." "And it didn't hit Venus, as we well knew it wouldn't." "And it won't hit Earth, as we know it won't." "Claire, look at me." "Sweetheart, you have to trust the scientists." "They say that it will hit." "No they don't." "That's not true." "Not the real scientists." "Now the prophets of doom, they'll write whatever they can to attract attention." "But the real scientists, all of them agree..." "Melancholia is just going to pass right in front of us." "And it's going to be the most beautiful sight ever." "I wish you would watch it through the telescope with me." " Please." " No, I think I'd better not." "(mutters) Son of a bitch." "When are we going to build those caves, Aunt Steelbreaker?" "Sweetheart, not right now." "We're going to do that in a little while, okay?" "(door closes)" "John:" "She's still sleeping." "Yes, but she has to get up now." "What are you making?" "Meat loaf." " Meat loaf?" " Yep." "If that doesn't get her out of bed, nothing will." "Time to wake up, Justine." "No more sleeping." "I came to take you to a nice bath." "You know how you like that?" "Come on." "You'll see you'll like it." "I promise." "Come on." "Claire:" "I'll wash you, okay?" "Just lift your foot." " Go on." " Yeah." "Lift your foot." "It's only a bath." "You need to wash." "Right?" " I'm so tired." " Come on, try." "I can't." "Justine, you'll like it." "(moaning)" "See?" "It's nice." "It's a nice bath." "Justine, please." "Try." "Okay, so we've practiced for tomorrow." "And I have a surprise for you for dinner." "Can you smell it?" "Meat loaf?" "Surprise!" "It tastes like ashes." "(sobbing)" "It's all right, sis." " Auntie Steelbreaker's crying." " It's all right, sweetheart." "Do you want to go back up?" " May I be excused?" " Take one more bite." "Look." "It's a planet that has been hiding behind the sun." "And now it passes by us." "It's called a fly-by." "That's not something you need to frighten Aunt Steelbreaker with now." "Come on." "If you think I'm afraid of a planet, then you're too stupid." "(birds chirping)" "(knife scraping)" "Hey." "Just a few things we're going to need, in case Melancholia gets really close." "Look, I'd really appreciate it if you didn't mention this to Claire." "She gets anxious so easily." "Whoa." "Come on, Justine." "(bridle jingling)" "Take him." "That's it." "Come on, Justine." "Take him out." "Justine, take him out!" "(hooves clattering)" "(Abraham neighs)" "Come on." "Come on!" "Come on!" "(crop slaps)" " Don't beat him!" " Come on!" " (panting)" " Justine, don't beat him!" "(whips)" "(Abraham grunts)" "Stop!" "There it is." "There's your fly-by." "(rattling, neighing)" "(horses neighing)" "(neighing continues)" "Shh." "(distant neighing continues)" "(distant door slams)" "(distant neighing)" "John:" "There we go... oh." "And there." "There." "You don't touch the instrument." "Come on, Leo." "Look." "John:" "Our son has invented a very fine device." "If you adjust the steel and point it towards the planet from your chest, it'll tell you how fast it's approaching and ultimately how fast it will recede." "Okay." "(distant neighing continues)" " Here." " John:" "Leo, what are we excited about?" " Leo:" "Tomorrow night." " That's right." "Leo:" "Wow, that's amazing." "Amazing, isn't it?" "Let me look." "(distant neighing continues)" "(crickets chirping)" "(printer whirring)" "John?" "John!" "Coming!" "(footsteps approaching)" "We're prepared for this." "The power will be back on in a few days." "(sighs) Oh, Claire." "Tomorrow evening, Melancholia will pass us by." "You'll never have to see it again, okay?" "So... so it..." "it won't hit us?" "Not a chance." "But what if your scientists have miscalculated and..." "They haven't." "You promise?" "Of course I do." "I promise." "It's rising again." "Just like the moon... because of the Earth's rotation." "Exactly like they said it would." "Hey." "You hungry?" "No thanks." " You okay?" " Yeah." "(pills rattle)" "Plan to kill us all?" " Maybe I should take those." " Don't touch them." "(lock rattles)" "Don't you touch them." "(horses stamping, neighing)" "(bangs)" "(distant neighing continues)" "Justine, come and have a bath." "I've had a bath." " Really?" " Yes, I'm very clean." "Little Father didn't come to work." "I checked the note board." "He... he didn't leave one." "I tried to call him." "I don't know if there's something wrong with the phone." "You see, it's never happened before that he... he didn't come to work without giving us notice." "Does he have a family?" "He lives in the village." "I don't know if he has a family." "Maybe this is a time when he needs to be with them." "It'll pass us by tonight." "John is quite calm about it." "Does that calm you down?" "Yes, of course." "Well, John studies things." "He always has." "The Earth is evil." "We don't need to grieve for it." " What?" " Nobody will miss it." "(gasps softly)" "(distant neighing continues)" "But where would Leo grow up?" "All I know is... life on Earth is evil." "There may be life somewhere else." "But there isn't." "How do you know?" "Because I know things." "Oh yes, you always imagined you did." "I know we're alone." "I don't think you know that at all." "678... the bean lottery." "Nobody guessed the amount of beans in the bottle." "No, that's right." "But I know." "678." "Well, perhaps." "But what does that prove?" "That I know things." "And when I say we're alone... we're alone." "Life is only on Earth." "And not for long." "(gasps)" "I can stay up all evening, till the middle of the night when we get to see the planet fly by, and I get to look at the telescope." "Yes, of course, darling." "But are you sure you can stay up that late?" "You haven't slept much lately." "Yes, I can." "Can't I, Auntie Steelbreaker?" " Can't I?" " Yes you can." "Of course you can." "(whispers) It's 11:00." "It's almost here." "Leo?" "Sweetheart." "It's time to wake up." "Leo?" "Leo...?" "There." "(distant neighing)" "(softly) Leo should be watching this." "(rumbling, rattling)" "John:" "Oh my God." "(birds chirping)" "(soft rumbling)" "(whispers) There." "Now take a look." "John:" "Are you frightened?" "(distant neighing continues)" "No, it looks..." " ...it looks friendly." " Yes." "Yes!" "That's what I've been trying to explain to you." "My God." "(rumbling continues)" "(distant neighing)" "(whispers) I would like to raise a toast." "To life." "To life?" "What do you mean, to life?" "You said it was going to be okay." "Well, there was no sense in alarming everybody." "So you're saying that our lives were in danger?" "No, I'm say... no." "I'm saying that when dealing with science and calculations of this magnitude, you have to account for a margin of error, that's all." "That's all I'm saying." "(John sighs)" "I'm sorry." "It's not fun anymore." "Actually, it's moving away from us as we speak." "You just can't see it through the naked eye." "Come here." "Hold this to your chest." "Aim it up at the planet." "Hold on."

"I wanna look through the telescope." "Breathe calmly." "Be happy, please." "If I dare, you can too." "I'm happy you're happy." "Oh, you have it easy, don't you?" "You just imagine the worst thing possible." "That's right, Claire." "Sometimes it's easy being me." "Hi, darling." " Do you want anything?" " No, thank you." "Something to drink?" "No?" "(mutters)" "John...?" "John?" "John!" "John?" "John?" "John?" "John!" "(panting)" "(key clicks)" "(gasps)" "I can't find John." "Do you know where he is?" "No." "I was just listening."

" Claire:" "Okay?" " Okay." "Justine, breakfast!" "Where's John?" "He rode to the... rode to the village." "Why didn't he just take the car?" "Abraham needed a ride... since you never ride him."

"You want me to have a glass of wine on your terrace?" "Yes." "Will..." "will you do that, sis?" "How about a song?" "Beethoven's Ninth." "Something like that?" "Maybe we could light some candles?" "Do you want us to gather on your terrace to sing a song, have a glass of wine?" "The three of us?" "(softly) Yes." "That would make me happy." "Do you know what I think of your plan?" "No." "I was hoping that you might like it." "I think it's a piece of shit." "Justine, please." "I just want it to be nice." "Nice?" "Why don't we meet on the fucking toilet?" "Then let's not." "You're damn right let's not." "(sobs)" "(softly) Sometimes I hate you so much, Justine." "(low rumbling)" "(sighs)" "I'm afraid that the planet will hit us anyway." "Don't be." "Please."
