Cape Fear Page #2

will get her excited about something.

Yeah, about him, probably.

Why'd they have to make such a stink,

like she was on heroin, or something?

I mean, what's marijuana?

You and I smoked a little dope in our time.

In some cultures,

it's considered almost a sacrament.

I realize in ours it's forbidden.

Right up there with incest

and necrophilia and bestiality.

Honey.

- Worship of idols, cannibalism.

- Do that again.

- What?

- Do that again.

- Sam, somebody's out there!

- What?

Leave the light off. Leave it off.

I saw him when the fireworks went off.

What?

- I think I talked to him this afternoon.

- You know him?

I want you the hell off my property!

He's gone.

He said,

"I'm gonna make you think about loss. "

Or, "I'm gonna make you learn about loss. "

Something like that.

That's very poetic.

- Who is he? Where did he come from?

- He's from...

Come on, Leigh, get the dog off.

Ben, get down.

He doesn't mind me at all.

It's your dog. Come on.

No, he shouldn't be up on the table.

- You'll have dog hairs in the tea.

- Get down.

Where's he from?

He's from the hills, Pentecostal crackers.

What was he in prison for?

- I think it was battery.

- You think it was battery?

- Who did he batter? A man? A woman?

- I don't know.

It was fourteen years ago.

You know, it's kind of...

I really don't remember.

What does he want with you?

He's just trying to bug us,

just messing around.

He's an ex-con, so he's just...

You know, he's probably upset

at the lawyer.

- Yeah, your clientele.

- Yeah.

- 'Bye, Dad.

- 'Bye, Dani.

- You look tired.

- Thanks. I needed that.

I'd rather Dani didn't wander out alone...

...on her walks in the woods...

...till I've started a few things,

maybe even talk to the boss.

- What if she takes Benjamin with her?

- Big Ben, our guard dog?

What's he gonna do, lick him to death?

- Just tell her.

- What? I hardly know anything about him.

I don't mean his biography.

Just there's some creep around.

If you see him again,

call the cops and then call me.

What about a weapon?

In case things get exciting around here.

Would you feel more secure

with a loaded gun in the house?

We'd end up using it on each other.

Or Dani would. He won't do anything.

He just got out of prison.

He doesn't want to go right back.

Call Lee Heller.

Lee is a colorful character but he's still

the best criminal lawyer in the state.

- Good.

- Get me Lee Heller.

- Sam, you defended this guy, right?

- Right.

What makes you think

he wants to harm you?

Yesterday I was getting in my car.

The guy comes up.

We have a conversation.

He says to me,

"You're gonna learn about loss. "

That'd hardly qualify
