Nights in Rodanthe Page #2

Synopsis: Adrienne Willis, a woman with her life in chaos, retreats to the tiny coastal town of Rodanthe, in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, to tend to a friend's inn for the weekend. Here she hopes to find the tranquility she so desperately needs to rethink the conflicts surrounding her -- a wayward husband who has asked to come home, and a teen-aged daughter who resents her every decision. Almost as soon as Adrienne gets to Rodanthe, a major storm is forecast and a guest named Dr. Paul Flanner arrive. The only guest at the inn, Flanner is not on a weekend escape but rather is there to face his own crisis of conscience. Now, with the storm closing in, the two turn to each other for comfort and, in one magical weekend, set in motion a life-changing romance that will resonate throughout the rest of their lives.

Four nights, leaving Tuesday?

Pretty early. I've got a flight to catch.

If you don't mind signing this, please.

Yeah, you may have heard some talk

about bad weather. Um...

Radio said only 50-percent chance-

Yeah, I heard something about that.

It doesn't matter.

People come here even in winter

for the beach, you know.

It doesn't matter.

Oh, if you don't mind,

please fill out the home address.

-Jean always asks for home address.

-I thought you were Jean.

Oh, Jean and I are old friends.

She had to work in Miami,

so I'm standing in for her.

Look, I'm gonna leave this home address

blank, if you don't mind.

Okay.

Okay.

-Sorry.

-It's all right.

It's called the Blue Room.

Oh, the hot water,

you may have to give it a little time...

...to burble up at you.

If you need any extra blankets, towels,

anything, don't hesitate to ask.

After all, you are the only guest.

If you're lucky, you'll see bankers.

That's the wild ponies

that were descendents of the horses...

...that were shipwrecked here hundreds

of years ago. They swam miles to shore.

Well, uh, dinner's at 8.

Or 7, 7:
30 if you'd prefer.

Whatever time you'd like because-

I'm the only guest. Seven-thirty's great.

Yes.

-Can I get you anything else?

-No, I think I've got everything.

ADRIENNE:

Okay.

["MAMA, HE TREATS YOUR DAUGHTER

MEAN" PLAYING ON RADIO]

[CHUCKLES]

Oh, Jean.

[JAZZ PLAYING ON RADIO

AND ADRIENNE HUMMING]

MAN [ON RADIO]:
Tightly lock and secure

doors and windows...

... and bring all deck furniture,

anything which may be blown away, inside.

WOMAN [ON RADIO]:

And now for those listeners...

... not familiar with the region

the Outer Banks.

MAN:
They are a strip of islands

which run along the Carolina coastline...

PAUL:
I don't know. I don't care.

I just want it there. I want it.

I want the equipment there when I arrive.

That's the whole point...

[JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO]

WOMAN [ON RADIO]:

You're listening to WROH...

... the music of Rodanthe,

where yesterday lives today.

Unless you'd prefer white?

No, no, red is fine. Red is good.

-I'll come back with your salad.

-Okay.

[DINAH WASHINGTON'S

"BACKWATER BLUES" PLAYING]

Dinah, Dinah Washington. She's so great.

Something wrong with your table?

Absolutely not.

Didn't wanna eat alone.

Oh.

Okay.

[SIGHS]

-Here's your salad.

-Thank you.

Thank you.

I'm hungry.

It's probably the air.

-What?

-Makes you hungry.

I've been coming here for years

with my husband, Jack, and the kids.

But just the kids, lately.

Yeah, well,

I never got home for dinner either.

Oh, Jack made it home

for dinner, all right.

When he, uh...

-When he was there.

-Thank you.

We, um...
