Rabbit Hole Page #2

Synopsis: Becca and Howie Corbett are a happily married couple whose perfect world is forever changed when their young son, Danny, is killed by a car. Becca, an executive-turned-stay-at-home mother, tries to redefine her existence in a surreal landscape of well-meaning family and friends. Painful, poignant, and often funny, Becca's experiences lead her to find solace in a mysterious relationship with a troubled young comic-book artist, Jason - the teenage driver of the car that killed Danny. Becca's fixation with Jason pulls her away from memories of Danny, while Howie immerses himself in the past, seeking refuge in outsiders who offer him something Becca is unable to give. The Corbetts, both adrift, make surprising and dangerous choices as they choose a path that will determine their fate.

she visits me sometimes in dreams

and she tells me it's okay,

that she's with God.

And we had some good days,

and you think that when you have enough

good days, it actually is gonna get better.

You know, it does get better and then...

- It was her anniversary last week and...

- A year last Tuesday.

And it just starts all over again.

We just have to remind each other that...

- It's just part of God's plan.

- Yeah.

And we can't know why.

You know, only God can know why.

God had to take her.

He needed another angel.

He needed another angel.

Why didn't he just make one?

Another angel.

I mean, he's God, after all.

Why didn't he just make another angel?

Just...

Just putting it out there.

I'd like to go.

I think we're gonna go.

Is that all right, honey?

Excuse us.

They're talking, it's their time,

and you have to respect that.

- Come on.

- I mean, you sit there for weeks

and you don't say a word...

I'm sorry. I can't stand the God freaks.

You know that.

But they're not all like that.

Kevin and Gaby aren't.

No. Kevin and Gaby

are professional wallowers.

I mean, come on. Eight years, Howie. Eight.

If that's what you want to become, then...

- If you want to take a break...

- No, not a break. I'm done.

- I know that Izzy stuff got under

your skin. - Please don't do that. Please.

One semester of psychology 15 years ago

and suddenly you can analyze...

Jesus, Becca.

I don't like the group.

- I gave it a try. It's not for me.

- Okay.

It's not for you.

Thank you.

Do you mind if we not eat here,

'cause nothing's really jumping out at me.

Taz! Stop, stop. Come here and eat.

Come on. Come on.

Stay. Sorry, he's not really dangerous. Eat.

- Yeah.

- He's just kind of dumb.

No, I know. He's my dog.

You're Becca.

I should have recognized you, of course.

I'm Auggie.

- Hi, Auggie.

- Hi.

Oh, my God!

Why didn't you tell me

you were coming over?

I would have picked up the house.

- That's Auggie.

- Yeah, we met. Is Izzy here?

Yeah, she's here.

She got fired from Applebee's.

I was planning on taking

it all down to Goodwill,

but now I'm glad that I didn't,

because look at these shirts.

Look at them. And these sweaters...

I don't know, Becca.

I mean, they're in baby clothes for so long.

It'll probably be a while

before he can even fit into that stuff.

No. It comes up very quickly, you'll see.

You're gonna be happy that I saved it.

- Is he living here?

- He has to. His girlfriend kicked him out.

- Ex-girlfriend.

- She knows what I meant.

- Did you see this one?

- That's cute. Look at that.

What if it's a girl?

Well, then...

I don't know, I'll give it to someone else.

But you're gonna... You're gonna thank me.
