" Oh." "Ha ha." " Who wants to get wasted?" " I do." " I do too!" " Uh, I'll have a glass." "I have been telling her for ages to get out there and sell her work," " but does she listen to me?" "No." " Would you give it a rest?" "I'm just saying, you know?" "Well, don't listen to her." "I've done a few shows." "I'm not talking about a few little shows."

"No, no" " I'm sure she doesn't, but-- by the way, she mentioned something about Seattle, like a, uh, shopping district or something..." " Yeah." " I can't remember." "I think it was called Bridgewood or something like that." "Yeah, I think so." "Anyways, um, I may have said that I've heard of it, and I" " I know that this is wrong, but to be honest," "I" " I've never heard of it." "It's just that she was asking so many questions and I had to go to the bathroom, and I didn't want to be rude, but" "Don't worry about it." "Sometimes she's a real jerk, you know?" "And you buy that?" "AMY:" "Why wouldn't I?" "You were totally grilling him." "Oh, God." "Just put this to bed, all right?" "Seriously." "It's so stupid." "Well, whatever." "You push me to go out with the guy and give him a chance and" "Amy, I'm just saying, you know, you're kind of fucked up right now and you're not seeing clearly." "I mean, yeah, he's doing all these nice" "What, Ames?" "Come on, I'm just trying to watch your back." "You're trying to watch your back." "(water running)" " You should just do whatever you want." " I will." " Okay, good." " I'm not a fucking child, you know?" "When did I ever say you were a fucking child?" "While you've been working, he's been saving my ass every fucking day." "You know what?" "Forget it." "Forget it." "Just give him a fucking chance." "Please." "(rain falling)" "JEN:" "Seattle, please." "Mark Fowles on Baxter Drive." "Hey, hey, Mark, it's Jen." "What do you say, cuz?" "Um, listen, can you call me at home tonight?" "I need you to track down this doctor that used to work in Beacon Hill." "He's gone." "Rocky's gone." "He's not on the patio." " Was the gate open?" " I mean, obviously." "Fuck, Jen, did you check outside the gate?" "Yeah, Amy, he's not there." "He's probably next door or down the street at the park." "All right, I'll go look." "Just stay there." "Just stay there." " (heavy breathing)" " JEN:" "Rocky!" "Rocky!" "Come on, Rocky!" "DOUG:" "Sorry." "Didn't mean to scare you." "What are you doing here?" "I just spoke with Amy." "I thought I'd come out here and help you look." "No luck so far, huh?" "No, but I'll be fine, thanks, okay?" "(thunderclap)" "Hey, look, maybe we should just split up, okay?" "You don't like me very much, do you?" "I don't even know you." "I mean, I know you're not from Seattle, but..." " What are you talking about?" " Nothing." "Just forget it." "(Jen shouts)" "(Doug breathing heavily)" "(banging on door)" "(Amy crying, knocking continues)" "(door opens) DOUG:" "Hey, how are you?" "AMY:" "Oh." "I can't talk right now." "What's wrong?" "(Amy continues crying)" " (door closes)" " Amy, what" "Amy, what happened?" "Talk to me." "What happened?" "Jen's dead." "She fell down the stairs." "It was so dark." "What stairs?" "At the park." "She was looking for Rocky, and... it was so wet and dark..." "She must have slipped." "I couldn't go with her." "I couldn't go." "I couldn't walk." "AMY:" "I'm gonna stay at my parents for a few more days." "DOUG:" "Okay, I understand." "Come back when you feel ready." "Look, I want you to know that I'm still looking for Rocky." "Thank you, Doug." "Do you want some more?" "(laughter on TV)" "I think I'm gonna go home now, okay?" "How's Kathy?" "Better, I'm sure, since this morning." "What do you mean?" "She ended it." "Oh." "I'm sorry." "It's for the best." "I haven't exactly been giving her a lot of attention lately." "I know." "I'm sorry." "No-- hey, no." "Don't say that, all right?" "It wasn't working out." "Hey." "I mean that, Amy." "Okay?" "Now, you're gonna call me if you need anything, right?" "I'll see you tomorrow." "You're the best friend I have." "(barking in distance)" "(barking)" "(barking)" "(door opens)" " Look who's home." " Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Rocky!" "Oh, my baby!" "Ooh, look at you!" "Mmm..." "So every night I've been pretty much going around the same sections of the neighborhood calling' out his name, tryin' to find him." "And I'm sorta finishing my round, and I figure that I should check out that alley one last time." "So I go up to the alley and I yell out Rocky's name," " and then I hear this bark." " Oh, my God." "So I run down the alley, and there he is." " That's-- that's it." " Holy shit." "(barking)" "Okay, okay, hold on already." " I'm just gonna get a water." " Yeah, sure." "You're not running away this time, boy." "(Doug laughs)" "DOUG:" "Hey." "(kissing sounds)" "(Doug panting)" "(unzips pants)" "Is something the matter?" "(belt buckle clanking)" "It's okay, Doug." "Fuck!" "It's all right." "I shouldn't have done this." " No, Doug." " I can do it." "I can do it." " No." " I can do it!" "It's not that." "Please." "Don't!" "Get off!" "I'm sorry." "I can't do this." "It's just not right." "We made a big mistake." " I'm sorry." " How can you say that?" "It's not a mistake." "How can you say that?" "I don't want to hurt you." "I care about you a lot." "Why?" "What do you have to go back to?" "I know that you're alone, and I" " I know that." "And I know that you're hurting." "We don't have to be alone." "I" " I think you should go home." " No." "No, let's just-- let's just talk about this." " I need you to leave." " I have done everything for you." "When you-- when you lost your job, when you hurt yourself, when you had nothing, I took care of you." " I know you did." " But you want to go back." "To what?" "Huh?" "To being alone?" "To this empty room?" "To that brush?" "Don't you get it?" "I am here for you!" "I'm" "What the fuck are you talking about?" "I love you!" "You said "brush." My brush." "What the fuck did you mean by that?" "How did you know that?" "(gasping)" "There's no way you could" "Oh, my God." "(static)" "Fuck!" "(intermittent static)" "Fuck." "Let me out." "No, no, no, no, no." "I need to explain" " Get out of my fucking way!" " I need to ex" "(Rocky barking)" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Amy!" "Amy!" " Fuck!" " Let me in!" "(clatter, glass breaking)" "Amy!" "Let me in!" "Amy!" "(Amy screaming)" "I don't want to-- I don't want to hurt you!" " (Amy sobbing)" " Just listen." "I want you to listen." "I just wanted you to listen." "Please, Doug." "You have to let me out of here." " I can't breathe." " Shh." "Just listen." "Just listen to me." "No..." "When I saw you... at that park, the first time... you looked so much like" "you looked so much like someone I knew." "But-- but-- but different." "She was so cruel to me, Amy." "And I love her." "And-- and when she when she didn't, I I wanted to die." "I wanted to die." "You see?" "Oh, God." "But not anymore." "Not anymore." "Because of you." "When I first saw you you looked exactly how I felt." "And I couldn't stop thinking about you." "And I wanted to talk to you, but..." "I just wanted you to give me a chance." "I just wanted you to look at me and know that we are the same." "Look..." "I'll take 'em down." "I'll take them all down, Amy, I promise, just please don't push me away." "I'm not gonna push you away, Doug." "I mean it." " You really scared me, you know?" " I know." "I know." "And I'm" " I'm so sorry." "I know you are." "And I know how hard it is." "When I moved here... sometimes I felt like..." "I was dying, like..." "I'd give anything to not feel so alone." "I understand." "I do." "I mean..." "I don't like what you did, but... but I understand." "In a way, I'm glad." "I feel like I'm really seeing you for the first time." "Can you do something for me?" "I want to know you more." "I want to know as much about you as you know about me." "So come on." "I'm gonna get us some tea and we're gonna talk, all right?" "Hmm?" "Come on." "Don't." "Hey, what's the matter, Doug?" "We're just going to the kitchen." "I'm not gonna do anything." "We're just gonna talk, all right?" "Let me out of here, all right?" "Let me out!" "(Doug screams)" "¡Te odio!" "¡Púdrete en el infierno!" "(both screaming)" "(static)" "Fucking cunt!" "(barking)" "(Doug grunting)" "Ohh!" "Ohh!" "(Doug whimpering)" "Oh, my God." "(car idling)" "(train running)"
