Lost in Translation Page #4

Synopsis: A lonely, aging movie star named Bob Harris (Bill Murray) and a conflicted newlywed, Charlotte (Scarlett Johansson), meet in Tokyo. Bob is there to film a Japanese whiskey commercial; Charlotte is accompanying her celebrity-photographer husband. Strangers in a foreign land, the two find escape, distraction and understanding amidst the bright Tokyo lights after a chance meeting in the quiet lull of the hotel bar. They form a bond that is as unlikely as it is heartfelt and meaningful.

Bob sits on the bed not sure what to do as he watches her.

Bob's POV - We see her back to us as she puts a CD on the

stereo - it begins to play: Serge Gainsberg and Brigitte

Bardot sing "Bonnie & Clyde". The woman turns slyly around

and shimmies over to Bob.

WOMAN:

(as she tries to

undress him)

Mr. Harris?

BOB:

Yes?

WOMAN:

Do you like massage?

BOB:

I don't think so.

WOMAN:

Mr. Kazuzo send Premium Fantasy.

She pushes him back onto the bed. He hesitates, but then

goes along with it passively.

WOMAN:

My stockings.

BOB:

Yes?

WOMAN:

Take them.

He fumbles with her stockings, trying to do as she says.

WOMAN:

No - Lip them... Don't touch me!

He takes his hands back confused.

WOMAN:

Lip my stockings!

He backs away, as he tries to understand her.

WOMAN:

Lip them!

She throws her leg up to him on the bed.

BOB:

Huh?

She pantomimes ripping them. He finally understands.

BOB:

Oh, you want me to rip them?

He pulls at her stockings trying to rip them, but they just

snap.

She pretends to struggle.

WOMAN:

Please let me go!

He pulls his hands away. She grabs them and puts them back

on her, and keeps struggling dramatically. They wrestle around

awkwardly, her pretending to try to get away, but not letting

him go. She rips her stockings and falls off the bed in fake-

defense.

WOMAN:

Let me go!

She pulls a confused Bob down on top of her. He doesn't know

what she wants.
