Queen of Earth (2015) - full transcript

Why are you doing this to me?

I can't explain it.

You can't explain it.
You can't explain it.

You can explain it.
You will explain it.

No. I can't. Really.

How could you do this
so soon after the accident?

It wasn't an accident,
Catherine. It was on purpose.

And besides,
this over reliance has been suffocating.

How soon after did you start
seeing her?

That's a ridiculous
question.

Well, answer it.



Before.

Before.

Before?

Can we... can we please
just relax?

- No, we can't please just.
- I'm pleading with you here.

Well, you don't get any
pleas, you piece of shit.

'Cause I hate you.

So this shouldn't be
too painful.

No. It shouldn't.
It shouldn't be too painful.

Because it's just one more thing
on top of everything else.

Just one more thing.

You're being dramatic.

My father was my life,
and my family was my life.

And then you were
a part of both.



And now, now I hate you.

Now I hate you,
you dishonest snake.

I'm not looking for you
to understand me here.

Well, good. Because there's
no chance of that happening!

I just think that you've been
misdirecting a lot of anger towards me

The past few months
and I can't take it anymore.

Oh! Oh, good for you.

I'm glad that's... I'm glad that
you figured that out. Good.

You feel better? Good.

Don't you think
we've got to the place

Where we rely on each other
too much for it to be healthy?

Do not try to... to justify
this as some sort of effort

To help me or save me like
you're doing me a fuckin' favor.

Like I should thank you.

That's not untrue.

No, it's not untrue.

Just go.

Just go. Just go.

I don't want you
to see me like this.

Go. Please, just leave me alone.

Please, just leave me alone.
Please.

Go!

Why are you walking?

I didn't feel like waiting.

It's like 2 miles
to the house.

Okay.

Catherine.

Hey.

Thanks for the exile.

That's what this place
is here for.

What's happening with
the apartment?

Oh, he's moving out
while I'm here.

So... that is it.

Looks great.

- Your regular room awaits.
- Oh.

Everything feels
so close to me.

Like the good and the bad.

Things aren't so bad
right now though.

No.

You're absolutely right,
Virginia.

They're worse.

They're much, much worse.

Well, there's nothing you can
do about that now, so...

You might as well...

He must have
really suffered.

You know, my father.

He was afflicted.

People say that depression
is a sickness

But I never thought
of it that way.

I always just thought of it
as one of his problems...

Just like work or money
are problems, you know.

Now that he's gone,
it's all I can think about.

Oh, fucker.

Unh. Dammit!

- Por vous.
- Thank you.

Goddammit,
you're gonna make me throw up.

Can't a guy fix a cup of java
for his special lady?

Yuck. What would happen
if you broke up?

Then she'd have to fix
her own coffee.

I'm not joking.

You seem cripplingly
codependent.

No, we don't.

We?

You just said...
Why did you say "we?"

I'm talking about you.

There's no "we"
in this scenario.

You sound like Smeagol.

Ginny.

Why so negative?

Only my closest friends
call me Ginny.

Virginia, why so negative?

I don't know, James.

- Hey, you said, remember?
- I remember, yeah.

We're gonna have
a nice morning.

You can't force someone
to have a nice morning.

- Well, sure you can.
- Yes, you can.

I wasn't speaking to you.

Well, now you're
speaking to me.

- Hey.
- Hey.

I thought you were asleep.
I went out.

- I couldn't sleep.
- It's so quiet here.

Exactly.

That looks good.

- I'm rusty.
- What?

I said, "I'm rusty."

Oh. I thought you said
something else.

Where did you get these?

I went to the store.

So what, did you think I brought
all of that with me?

The store is like 4 miles.

Well, I just started walking
and then I was there.

Please don't say that.

Because I won't stand
to be treated by you

That way anymore, that's why.

I don't care about that!

And that is insulting
to the both of us.

I have to go, she's watching.

Don't ask.

Was that James?

Does "don't ask" mean something
different where you're from?

We're from the same place.

I'd really rather not.

I wasn't sure
if you were still in here.

Where else would I be?

You wanna go for a walk
or something?

It's nice out.

My face hurts.

How do you mean?

Can you please not make me
talk right now?

I'm sorry.

What are you doing in here?

What do you mean?

What are you doing?
Like, actually.

It's all dark in here.

I'm hiding.

From what?

It drives me crazy
that places like this

Are so close to the city.

Places like this?

Yeah, you know, where
tranquility isn't just a myth.

You can come here any time
my family isn't using it.

Any time, Ginny?

Labor Day, Memorial Day,
Fourth of July?

I told you
not to call me Ginny.

He's joking.

Well, some jokes
make me feel uncomfortable.

- This is my fault?
- No, not really.

Can we not do this, please?

I thought we came here to relax,
or at least I did.

I don't know about
what you two are doing.

Well, relaxing
or having a vacation

Would imply that at
some point it might end.

So you can't really get away
from it all

If that's all
you are doing, you know.

Then you're just a bum.

Are you a bum, Ginny?

What a stupid,
shitty thing to say.

I don't care at all
about going back.

And in fact, now that I think
about it, I'd just as soon not.

Right. B-U-M, bum.

Just mind your own business,
Your Majesty.

Okay, um...

Where are you going?

I'm just gonna, uh...

Give you two a little space.

Not necessary. We're fine.

I'm still going to
just excuse myself.

- Please don't.
- Yeah, please don't.

Thank you.
That was very mature.

What's it like
having all the answers

All the time to everything?

It must be such a luxury.

It is. Immeasurably.

Please don't do this.

I mean, it's not the end
of the world

But could you at least
acknowledge

That you never stopped
to think about

What I might have wanted
from this trip?

Are you calling me
a lousy friend?

Are you saying
you're a lousy friend?

I don't know
what you want me to say.

I love you more than anything,
you stupid brat.

Well, we should trade places.
See how we feel then.

Oh, sorry.

Uh, it's okay.

Guys, this is Rich.

His parents have a place
next door.

- Hey.
- Hey, Rich, I'm James.

Nice to meet you.

How was lunch?

Fine.

So you live
next door, Rich?

Yeah.

How long you had the place?

Oh, a long time. Long time.

Yeah, before my folks.

- You want a beer?
- Oh, sure. Hey, thanks.

Well, no, we should...
We'll... we should go.

- No, hang out. Seriously.
- Let's hang out.

Come on. Have a seat.

Let's have a drink.

I don't know
when the last time

We took a vacation was.

Well, I travel a lot
with work, so...

What do you do, Catherine?

I manage
my father's business.

That sounds, like,
suspicious, right?

Catherine's father is
a prominent New York artiste.

Oh. Have I heard of him?

I highly doubt it.

He built that giant sculpture
in Union Square.

Oh, the, uh, Perisphere.

Hmm...

Hmm. What? I know some shit.

I'm impressed.
Didn't expect it.

So what do you do?
You monitor the Perisphere?

Polish the Perisphere?

- I manage his affairs.
- Clerical work.

No, it's not.

I mean, it's not paperwork.

It's not?

Why do you always have
those paper cuts?

It's responsible work.

It's dull.

See, Catherine
is this great artist.

But she's hiding
in her father's shadow

Afraid to break out on her own.

Thank you,
but it is responsible work

And I very much enjoy doing it.

She's basically
his assistant.

Well, I don't see
that there's anything wrong

With being an assistant to one
of our great living artists.

And how many people
did you beat out

To win that great position?

I would tell you, but I don't
think you would understand

The concept of a job interview.

My god, you're killing me.

Please don't talk to me
like that.

Like what?

Like you're superior to me
or any of us.

Why not?

Um, because it's dull.
It's uninteresting.

Well, we all can't live
in a magical fantasy land.

Well, I think
if you use your imagination

You can have
a pretty good time.

I think that is
an incredibly ignorant

And childish thing to say.

Okay.

Well, I don't know.

I just don't think I was built
for that kind of nonsense.

I think I was made to be

A member of
the modern aristocracy.

What does that mean?

Hmm... because I have
this great house.

It's your parents' house.

Which they
let you use occasionally.

You didn't earn it, so don't act
like you're entitled to it.

Why are you being
so confrontational?

I'm just being realistic.

I'm serious. I just wanna
have a nice time and relax.

As opposed to what? Relaxing
every other day of your life?

I don't relax every day!

I'm sorry you had
one bad thing

Happen to you,
like, 3 months ago.

Don't pretend that
this is some break

From a tedious
and stressful existence.

Okay, you know what?
Don't worry about me.

- I'm not.
- Don't think about me.

Just forget it. Please.

Cat, come on.

Oh, look who has
something to say.

Now you wanna get involved?

No, just... we're tired.

We are not tired.

Don't say we.
I'm not tired.

Just because you're tired
doesn't mean that I'm tired.

That's the spirit.

Well, I'm pretty tired, so...

Rich is tired.

Yeah, Rich is tired.
I'm gonna go.

- Don't go, Rich.
- Yeah, don't go, Rich.

Yeah, I should get home.
I'll see you tomorrow.

- It's great to meet you, Rich.
- I'll walk you out.

Nice to meet you, dude.

Nice to meet you, K,
take it easy.

I'm sorry about that.

I thought they were gonna be
gone all night.

That's fine. I'm interested.

How so?

Uh, to meet her.

After hearing you
talk about her.

You think
I'm a horrible friend.

Uh, I don't know
that I can really answer that.

You're always very sweet to me.

You ask so little of me.

Uh, you sure you don't want
to come in?

I should get back.

Alright,
well, door's always open.

- Just leave them.
- I don't want to leave them.

Why?

Because no one else is gonna
clean this up but me.

Will you leave me alone?

It was autumn, October.

And we would just
take long walks and...

Get takeout and watch videos
at my apartment.

I had that basement apartment
at the time

So once you were inside
no light could get in

So you could just never even see
when the sun came up.

I loved that apartment.

But then after a few...

6 weeks, him
and his girlfriend

Started to get back together

And he just shut me out.

We had class together, so we
were polite, but, you know,

It was really shitty.

And that really broke my heart

'Cause it felt like
he didn't choose me, you know.

Um, so then, a couple of years
go by, maybe longer.

Maybe it was more like
two and a half.

And all of a sudden, out of
the blue, I get this letter.

Like, an actual letter,
written on paper.

With a pen,
and it was so sweet

And it was sort of
apologetic

But not overtly
or in an annoying way and...

Anyways, I agreed to meet him
after work late one night.

It was December.
It was, like, 20 degrees out.

And I was standing outside.

I had that white knit cap on

That I used to wear
all the time.

And he came out, and he just
looked exactly the same.

And he said that
I looked the same too.

But that can't be true because

I had really short blonde hair
at the time.

And, um, we went to a bar,
and we had a few drinks

And he told me about how,
of course

His relationship
inevitably ended

As it was meant to.

And... and he just couldn't
stop thinking about me

And before I even knew it

I was forgiving him
for 2 years of resentment

For not choosing me,
I was forgiving him.

And his apartment was nearby

So we were walking there
and I asked

If I could use the bathroom

Which I know sounds like
a really cheap move

But I really did have to go.

I really did think
I was just gonna go in there

And then leave and, but then it
was really warm inside

And it was so cold outside,
and so we just, like,

Ended up talking,
and then kissing

And, you know, we just
fell asleep there for a while.

And so we were together
then through the holidays.

And he came to my house
and I met his parents

And it was going really well.

And it just felt like we were

Finally getting
what we didn't get

In the first place,
you know.

And something that was so real.

And it felt so important.

Then a few mo... months passed
and, um,

He started to get distant again.

And I was planning weekend trips

And introducing him
to my friends

And just trying to really
integrate him into my life.

And then I realized, you know,
2 or 3 days were passing

Where I wasn't hearing
from him and...

And it hit me
that he was doing it again.

He was just... he was doing

The exact same thing
that he did before

And... and I was too stupid
to realize it

Before it was too late.

And I knew that my problem,
this problem that I have

This issue that just keeps
landing me in the same place.

Almost 3 years later,
and here I was

In the exact same place was
because I was...

More impressed
with this note

This handwritten note,
than I was

With his supposed changes
in personality.

You know, I saw this...

This effort, this...

This textile representation
of his feelings

And I, I thought it was
something real when it wasn't.

It was just trite and cliche
and fatuous.

But I mean it was real.

It was this real piece of paper.

Which I'm ashamed to admit

I carried around to, like,

3 apartments after that.

But it wasn't real.

It just was something
that was completely empty...

And hollow.

And it just made me realize

That I am just in this

Self-perpetuating cycle
of defeat.

Where I can't get out of it
because I can't get out of it

Because I can't get out of it.

It's...

It's one of the worst
tendencies of human nature

To assume the best of others.

You remember Chad?

So we were friends, right?

Whatever that means
in middle school.

He was my first kiss.

Over the years, we were
in the same friend group

And I don't think he ever knew
he was my first kiss

Anyway, we never
talked about it.

But I'd say...

Throughout high school,
graduation, college

He was like top 20
all-time good friends.

And then after college,
for whatever reason

We started seeing a lot
of one another.

Well, we'd hang out, like,
a couple times a week.

Go to concerts, have dinner.

And then we were just
suddenly together.

Hooking up,
and spending the night

At his place and mine,
you know.

Then it was summer.

It was great.

It was absolutely
one of those summer things

Where all my memories
of that time

Are intricately connected
to him.

But he was going to grad school
or law school or something.

So, around July, I start
telling him, you know

This is going
where it's going and...

it's not going
to grad school with him.

And he says he gets it.

But then things start
to get more serious

And it becomes clear to me that

He hasn't been in a serious
relationship in a long time.

So I keep reminding him that

We're heading for a dead end

And he says,
"Yeah, I get it.

It's fine. I get it."

And I believed him.

And then, suddenly,
it's August.

And before he's even gone,
he's already...

Talking about me
coming to visit him

And a trip he has planned
to come back in...

You know, in October.

So...

I say, "No,
that's not gonna happen."

None of that is real."

And he thinks I am joking and...

Basically ignores it all.

So then he's gone and within

A week or two,
I'm seeing somebody else

And he is still calling
all the time.

And one night,
some Saturday night

I'm out at a bar,
and he calls

And he's giving me
the business

About being out at 2:00
or 3:00 in the morning

And I just snapped,
and I am screaming at him

and telling him he is
a delusional bastard

And I can't believe
what I am hearing

And I wanna have nothing
to do with him.

So that's that.

It's September now, and...

I don't hear from him
or anything until Christmas

When he's back
around, obviously.

And so, we are all at a bar

I don't know where you were
during all of this.

Maybe you were away that year
for whatever reason.

Anyway, we see
each other and...

it's as if nothing
has ever happened.

He's civil, but I can
tell he's seething.

And just seeing him
pisses me off so much

Because I can see now
what he is

Which is this
delusional, desperate man

And goddamn it,
that is so unattractive.

So my point is...

You can get out
of somebody else's cycle

But you can't get out
of your own.

You were victimized
by his handwritten note

And I was victimized by his
inability to face reality.

And yet...

Here we both are.

Where the fuck are they?

Who the hell are you?

It's me. Rich.

From last year.

Oh, right. Rich.

Sorry, I'm not good
with faces or names.

So, you mean like...

People?

Yeah, them too.

Heard about your dad.

I'm really sorry.

Don't be.
You didn't know him.

Eh, still.

Why are you here?

Well, I had to say "hey"
to my girls.

Surely, you can't be referring to me when you say that.

Just wanted to see
what was up.

I saw Ginny's car outside.

Don't call her Ginny.

What was that?

I didn't hear anything.

Why is that guy here?

Who? Rich?

Yeah. "Rich."

He likes
to hang out sometimes.

I don't know.

Who cares?

What are you up to next week?

I haven't a clue.

Mm, that must be nice.

What?

To choose to just...

Hang out and do nothin'.

I didn't choose to be here.

Nobody would choose
to be in this situation.

I was thrust into this situation
against my will.

Yeah, I know how that feels.

Because it can't
possibly be that complicated.

Just tell him
everything is fine.

I left everything in order.

Yes, I told him it would be
there by the end of the month.

I just told him that they were
extraordinary circumstances

I didn't feel the need
to explain it.

It's a family matter.

It's absolutely
none of their business.

Tell them what it is.
It's nobody's business.

Well, you are gonna have to say
it in the way that I am saying it.

You have to speak to him in a certain way,
with a certain tone.

Otherwise, he won't listen.

And then the newcomer,
who's all freaked out

She has to cut the baby
out of me...

And then my water broke.

It was, um, you know, I had
to see it before I felt it

Because I couldn't feel
between my legs.

But the water
was ice cold, so

Yeah, I was sorta trying not to
jolt and then it would come out

And then I turned to her,
and I was like

"The baby's coming.
You have to cut it out of me."

And I had rotted out teeth.

- Really?
- It was...

A real winner.

I just wanted to finally purge

All of that from my life.

I had already cut out so many
worthless and negative people

Who brought me nothing
but annoyance or distraction

So I figured why should
she be any different?

Because family is different.

No, they aren't.

Nobody gets a free pass.

That's a horrible thing
to say.

It's horrible to feel.
I wish I didn't feel it.

I wish I could have relationships
with some people that I can't

But once they become
just ciphers

Or, you know, energy drains

Or... or they become someone
who distracts or depresses me

I have to have nothing to do with them I can't help it.

You can help it.

No, I can't. I've tried.
I just hate them.

And I hate being around them.
And I hate talking to them.

I love eliminating those enemies

From every aspect of my life.

I don't think I have ever
heard an adult

Use the word enemy.

Aw, don't be naive.
It's the only word.

I don't know.

I think I'm taking
the high road.

I do.

That's just not very adult.

Well, you made the cut.
I love you.

Let's celebrate that.

Lucky me.

Yeah, watch your...
Watch your step.

I don't wanna be an enemy.

I made this salad for you.

It's good.

You should eat it.

Thank you.

Sorry, I kind of, uh...

Spread out.

It was our only collaboration.

We wanted to do
something together.

It was a beautiful portrait.

It just turned into something
else completely.

Yeah.

It became the image
of his death.

So I didn't want anything
to do with it anymore.

It was a morbid image.

We thought
it was really funny.

Did you like working
with him?

Yeah, he was a genius.

Is that a yes?

Well, he taught me
everything.

And I know everyone said that

Everything that I got
was from nepotism

But I didn't really care.

I don't care.

I just thought
he was not only my father

But I admired him
for being a great artist.

A cliched, tortured

Suicidal artist...

Ultimately.

I think, uh,
Rich is coming by later.

Hmm.

What?

I literally
didn't say anything.

Exactly.

- Does he have to come by?
- What's the problem?

I need you to stay still.

I just thought we were gonna
be alone together.

Yeah, that's what
I thought last summer.

Okay. Fine.

I love Rich.

He's fascinating.

Come on.

Well, I just don't think
he's good enough for you, so...

I think he's just like
everybody else.

How do you mean?

Just prying
into people's business.

You know, last year,
he didn't ask me two questions about myself

And now he just wants
to know everything.

I wonder why, that's all.

He just knows you better.

He doesn't know me at all.

He's curious.

Well, curiosity
killed my father.

Depression killed
your father.

I'm sorry,
I really can't do this

If you're not gonna sit still.

Frank and Sylvie's house?

I'm their niece's guest.

- Virginia.
- Yeah.

Been here before?

Just once. Last year.

They're terrible people.

Well, they're not
here right now.

I know.

That kind of money
rubs people the wrong way.

When were you here last?

About the same time
last year.

Nice season last year.

Yeah, seemed okay.

Be careful in there.
You never know.

You never know what?

Exactly.

Uh, let's see.

Uh...

Definitely.

Aww.

- Hey.
- Why are you in the bushes?

Where am I?

Help me. I'm suck.

I think you mean
you're sick.

Mm-hmm.

Come on.

Oh, hold on.

Here's your hot water.

Thanks.

This is a nice place.

Thanks. It's not mine.

I think I came
to a party here once.

Ah.

Eh, did you throw that,
the "Dressed to Get Sexed" party

On Labor Day last year?

How many times do I have
to fucking tell you

This is not my house?

I've seen you here
though, right?

Maybe. I was here last year.

I knew it.

I thought you said
you'd never been here before.

No, now that I think about it

That party was
at some other place.

Uh.

You up for a walk?

No.

Why not?

I could murder you right now,
and no one would ever know.

Hm?

What, do you live here now?

Heard you walking around
super late last night.

Sounded like you were...

Talking to yourself.

Yeah, I was...

- I was talking to myself.
- Hey.

Why would I be doing that?

Can you please
get out of my way?

- Yeah, here.
- No, I'm good.

I'm just gonna get my own,
thank you.

What the fuck?
What are you doing?

I don't understand
why you're here.

- You don't live here.
- What's your problem?

My problem is that I'm trying
to have a nice time

With my best friend, and you are
just here all the fucking time.

Ginny invited me here,
you know?

Don't call her Ginny.

- Take it.
- I don't want it.

I made you a cup of coffee.

No, I don't want it.

Are you... are you
fucking serious?

Jesus fucking Christ.

You are a real fucking
spoiled bitch, you know that?

You ain't shit just 'cause
of who your father was.

How much of that did you see?

Oh, well.

Fuck.

What?

Nothing,
I was just thinking.

About what?

Just about us.

I feel sick.

I feel all messed up.

I'm sorry.

My face hurts. All the time.

Like a headache?

No, it's like...

Bones are grinding
underneath my skin.

I don't think
that's a thing.

Just makes it really hard
to concentrate.

You haven't been sleeping,
have you?

I could do
without the attitude.

The whole
Catherine-is-crazy attitude.

I didn't say you were crazy.

You thought it.

Don't tell me what I think.

It's just...

I know that
you bring Rich around

So that you can talk
to him about me.

Not everything is about you.

I know.

It's fascinating.

I feel like I am...

Seeing you
for the first time.

What do you mean?

I always thought
you were so perfect.

I thought you had it
all figured out.

But you are just surrounding
yourself with men.

With James, with your father.

They took care of you.

Without them...

Here you are.

Hm.

I think the best hope
for me now

Is to not end up
like my father.

How's that going?

Mmm.

It's touch and go.

I just don't really feel
like I exist anymore.

And the only two people that...

Really cared about me
abandoned me.

In one form or another.

I care about you.

No, you don't.

So, you have
to hold really still

Because I have to do
the features now.

Dudes?

Question?

You drive a car, fly a plane

Ride a bike

What's the analogy for a boat?

You drive it as well.

I don't know, Catherine.

Can you drive a canoe?

Can you steer a boat?

- Can you steer a canoe?
- Enough with the canoe.

Can't you find a counterpoint
besides a goddamn canoe?

It's a valid question
is all's I'm saying, 'Kay.

Make sure you put that on.

I wouldn't want you falling in
and drowning

Or... something horrible
like that.

Ready?

Hold on, I'm not buttoned.

Ready, I guess.

- I'm not...
- Ready?

It's not done yet.

- Ready?
- She has to get it snapped.

Hey, K.

K.

Hey, K.

My name starts with a "C."

- Are you for real?
- Mm-hmm.

I've been calling you "K"
for a whole year.

Yep.

That's awesome.

It's not that awesome.

Well, thanks for coming out
on the lake today.

Thank you very much
for inviting me.

Yeah.

You know, I figured
you probably just wanted to be

Someplace where people weren't
talking to you about...

How you were doing
and all that stuff.

And yet, look at
what you're doing now.

You don't know
what I'm doing.

You're a real mystery, Rich.

Face thing?

Yeah.

It hurts to talk.

All of a sudden?

Comes and goes.

You realize
how fake that sounds?

Do you realize
how insulting that is?

Just trying to understand.

No, you're trying to judge.

Yeah, I don't know,
I just don't feel good.

I don't feel like myself.

She's good, but, you know,

She has this
guy hanging around

And he's super creepy.

I just get a bad feeling.

I don't feel safe.

Yeah, well, they took me out
on a boat today,

Which was really weird.

It was just dumb.

And I miss you, too.

Yeah?

I'm sorry.
Can I call you back?

Okay.

Okay, bye.

Who were you talking to?

It's none of your business.

I'm just... curious.

Well, I'm serious.
It's none of your business.

Was that James?

No.

Catherine...

I know.

Okay. You know.

Hey, do you stay
around here?

- I'm a guest.
- Where?

- Here.
- No, here, where, though?

Here, in this house.
Wha... what do you think I mean?

Wait, wait, wait.
I recognize you.

I'm sorry. From TV.

Fuck. I remember, yeah,
it was your dad.

He tried to rip off
all those people.

- That's not what happened.
- Right?

No, no, no, no, no, no.

But then... then you had
people thinking

That you knew
where the money was.

No, that's not
what happened.

You obviously don't know me.

So, have you known Frank
and Sylvie long?

I've known them for...

Oh, God, I don't know,
since I was a kid.

Yeah.

It was 20...
No, like 18 years.

You know,
I never believed

Anything that anyone said
about them.

Even after people came
forward and testified

I was always like,
"No, absolutely not."

Nothing weird,
nothing strange.

Are you okay?

Jesus Christ, what the fuck
is wrong with her?

You alright?

Catherine...

This is Warlock...

And Dragon.

No. No!

No!

Ah! No! No!

No!

Leave me alone!

No! Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

Leave me alone!

No!

Well, that's not how
I was taught to leave a party.

I'm allowed
to express my my opinions.

Of course you are.

But you're also allowed
to take it down a notch.

Ugh, I hate
it when you say that.

What's on the agenda
for today?

A walk?

I was thinking a swim.

Wanna go for a swim,
sweetheart?

What?

Swim?

You wanna go for a swim?

Swim?

Oh, I don't know.
Uh, maybe another time.

Take your time.

My time.

I'll take my time.

I didn't expect
anybody to be up.

Yeah, me neither.

I just wanted to tell you
that I wasn't interested in you

Or anything about you
last night.

Okay.

I don't even really
know these people.

My friends
are renting a house nearby.

Yeah, I don't really
know them either.

How did you end up here?

Oh, I guess, um...

I'm... I'm friends
with the niece.

Thanks.

Small world.

Increasingly.

So your father was
friends with Ginny's father?

I thought you
didn't wanna ask?

We're just talking here.

Are we?

What the fuck?

Catherine!
Shit!

Damn it!
Fuck, fuck, fuck!

Is your face okay?

Fine.

Is it acting up again?

Mm-mm.

Does drinking
make it better or worse?

- Better. Usually.
- Hm.

You seen a doctor?

Mm-hmm.
I've seen a bunch of them.

I've seen dermatologists,
I've seen a dentist,

And I've seen an ENT.

I've had X-rays and MRls...

And?

Nothing.

Sounds psychosomatic to me.

Excuse me?

I'm just saying, like...

Half a dozen
doctors tell you that...

A dozen, at least.

If a fuck load of doctors
tells you

That there's nothing wrong
with you,

Then what other conclusion
can you possibly reach?

I don't know, Rich.

Maybe that they're wrong.

You know more
than the doctors.

Hm-mm.

How's Virginia's portrait
coming along?

Rich, cut it out.

What? I'm curious.

You say you've been
working on it.

I can't wait to see it.

What is your fucking problem?

Just think of all the press
you're gonna get...

Emerging from tragedy with
such an accomplished canvas.

It's really going
to be quite an event.

How dare you?

Who the hell are you to come in
and speak to me that way?

I don't even know you.

How dare you speak to me
like that?

You fucking animal.

You unrepentant piece of shit.

You click your tongue and you
revel in the affairs of others.

You are worthless.

You don't know
anything about me.

You show up to fuck
my best friend,

And you pry
into the lives of others

To conceal how worthless

And boring
your own life is.

I don't deserve this.

I just want to be left alone.

I want to be left alone
with the few people

Who are left in this world
who are decent.

You are weak and greedy

And selfish.

And you are the root
of every problem.

You...

Are why people
betray one another.

You are why
there is nowhere safe

Or happy anymore.

You are why
depression exists.

You are why
there is no escape

From indecency
and gossip...

And lies.

You, Rich...

You are why
my father had to die.

Because he couldn't live
in a world like this.

Was wondering if or...

When you'd be back here.

This was supposed
to be my vacation.

Ohh! Sorry if I ruined that.

Why don't you like me?

You know, I mean,
I mean, really?

You are a rich,
spoiled brat.

You grew up in a bubble

And when that bubble popped,

You expected everybody to be
around and feel sorry for you.

I thought I just
wanted to be left alone.

No. You didn't.

You wanted to make
a spectacle of yourself.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

But you don't really
know me.

Don't I?

You were a stuck-up brat
last year

And... you're a stuck-up brat

This year, too.

So...

You will never be
your father.

You know that?

You were never going to be.

In fact, I'm convinced

If you weren't
related to him...

You probably wouldn't have
gotten close to him.

Cat?

What are you doing?

Stop. Stop it.

Okay. Alright. Cat.

Stop it.

What are you doing?

Oh. Oh, Rich, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, Rich.

Ginny?

Ginny, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Ginny, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Oh, I made a mess.

Oh, I really made a mess.
I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Please don't...

Please don't be mad at me.

Just don't leave me, okay?

Ginny.

I promise I'll get better.

I promise.

I promise I'll get better.

Okay.

You're not gonna leave me?

Ready to go?

No.

Wish I never had to.

I'm glad that I got to
make it up here.

And I'm sorry if...

I ruined it by bringing,
you know, what's his name?

I don't remember.

Same time next year?

No question.

You're gonna be okay.

Thanks.

You too.

I know you've been
going through a hard time,

And... I just
wanted to apologize

If I really
wasn't there for you.

Well...

Maybe someday you'll be
going through this shit

And I won't be there for you,
and then well be even.

God, I hope so.

Alright.

- No.
- Yeah.

The time has come.

Come here.

Okay, gotta let me go now.

Mm-mm.
I'm not letting you go.

Yep, gotta do it.

Don't want to.

Come on.
I feel uncomfortable.

Okay, bye.
Bye.

- See you soon.
- Mm-hm.

Resync. Bas2003 ? 2021.
