Lost Highway Page #4

Renee looks up at him now, takes off her glasses, and stares

at him.

CLOSE UP OF FRED'S FACE - a disturbed expression.

Renee seems about to say something more, but stops, puts her

glasses back on and resumes reading.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN:

INT. THE MADISON HOUSE - BEDROOM - NIGHT

Fred is in bed waiting for Renee. He hears noises from the

bathroom - bottles clinking, drawers opening and closing.

Renee comes out wearing a robe, which she sheds just before

getting into bed. Naked under the covers, she switches out

her bedside lamp. The only light in the room comes from the

outside, through the windows. Fred moves closer to Renee,

puts his lips to her cheek, a hand on her breast. She does

not respond. Fred pulls Renee to him, and kisses her

passionately. Renee accedes to his demands, but does not

participate willingly. He makes love to her voraciously, but

her lack of passion disturbs him. Fred can't stop, however,

and when he comes she acts consolingly, stroking him

maternally while he calms down. He climbs off of her and

retreats to his side of the bed.

CLOSE UP ON FRED'S EYES - which express his horror and

humiliation.

They lie there in the dark silence for a while.

Fred turns back toward Renee in the darkness.

FRED:

I had a dream about you last night...

RENEE:

Yeah?

FRED:

You were in the house... calling my

name... but I couldn't find you.

CUT TO:

INT. THE MADISON HOUSE - NIGHT

FRED'S DREAM

Fred is walking slowly across the living room.

Fred's POV:
moving - searching.

Fred stops and listens.

RENEE:

(tentatively - distant

and off screen)

Fred? Fred, where are you?

The camera turns slowly back toward the hallway, and as it

drifts it RISES UP following along the hall and turning slowly

into the bedroom. Renee is lying below in the bed.
