Lost Highway Page #3

Fred and Renee stare at the snow for a few moments. Renee

looks relieved.

RENEE:

It must be from a real estate agent.

FRED:

Maybe.

We see a WIDE SHOT encompassing Fred, Renee, and the snowy

image on the TV.

FADE OUT:

FADE IN:

INT. THE MADISON HOUSE - DINING ROOM - DAY

Renee is seated at the dining room table - coffee cup and

grapefruit in front of her. She is wearing glasses, reading

a book. Fred enters, and sees Renee, who does not look up or

acknowledge him. Fred goes into the kitchen, which is just

off the dining room. He comes back into the dining room with

a cup of coffee, and sits down with it opposite Renee. He

lights up a cigarette, sips his coffee, and looks at her.

FRED:

Good book, huh?

RENEE:

(she looks up)

Huh?... oh, yeah, it is.

FRED:

Same one you were reading the other

night?

RENEE:

What night?

FRED:

When you didn't come to the club.

RENEE:

Oh. Oh, yeah. No. This is a different

one.

FRED:

I called, you know.

RENEE:

Called? When?

FRED:

From the club. You didn't answer.

RENEE:

I must have fallen asleep. I was

asleep when you got home, wasn't I?

FRED:

You were asleep when I got home,

yes.

Renee goes back to her book. Fred sips his coffee and smokes.

RENEE:

(without looking up)

I told you you could wake me up if

you wanted to.
