Rosemary's Baby Page #3

Synopsis: Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse move into an apartment in an opulent but gothic building in Manhattan. Their landlord Edward "Hutch" Hutchins attempts to dissuade them from doing so: the building has an unsavory history. They discover that their neighbors are a very friendly elderly couple named Roman and Minnie Castevet, and Guy begins to spend a great deal of time with them. Strange things begin to happen: a young woman Rosemary meets in the laundry commits suicide, Rosemary has strange dreams and hears strange noises and Guy becomes remote and distant. Then Rosemary falls pregnant and begins to suspect that her neighbors have special plans for her child.

- What floor?

- Seven.

Stay back, will ya, lady?

Get back, now, will you, please?

Get back. There's nothin' to see.

- Oh, my God!

- Get back, will you, please?

Jesus!

- Get back!

- We know her.

- What's her name?

- Terry.

Terry what?

Ro?

What was her name again?

Terry what?

Uh, I don't remember.

An Italian name.

She was staying with some people

named Castevet. 7-A.

Yeah, we got that already.

Short and sweet. She stuck it

to the windowsill with a Band-Aid.

- Theresa Gionoffrio.

- Move on!

Move on!

- You knew her?

- Only slightly.

- Come on, Ro. Let's go.

- Oh! Here they come.

You folks the Castevets on the seventh floor?

We are.

You have a young woman named

Theresa Gionoffrio living with you?

We do. What's wrong?

Has there been an accident?

You'd better brace yourself for some bad news.

She's dead.

Jumped out of the window.

That's not possible.

That's a mistake.

Artie, want to let these folks

take a look, please?

I knew this would happen.

She got deeply depressed

every three weeks or so.

I told my wife about it,

but she pooh-poohed me.

Well, I... It doesn't mean

she killed herself.

She was a very happy girl

with no reason for self-destruction.

She... must've been cleanin'

the windows or something.

- She wasn't cleaning windows at midnight.

- Why not? Maybe she was.

Is that her handwriting?

- Yeah.

- Definitely. Absolutely.

Thank you. I'll see this gets back to you

when we're done with it.

I don't believe it.

I just don't believe it.

- She was so happy.

- Who's the next of kin?

Ah, she was all alone.

She didn't have anybody. Only us.

- Didn't she have a brother?

- Did she?

She said she did... in the navy.

- It's news to me.

- Do you know

where he's stationed?

No, I don't.

She mentioned him to me in the laundry room.

- I'm Rosemary Woodhouse.

- Uh, we're in 7-E.

I feel just the way you do,

Mrs. Castevet.

She seemed so happy and full of...

She said wonderful things about you

and your husband, how grateful she was.

Thank you.

Know anything else about this brother

except he's in the navy?

- No, I don't.

- It should be easy to find him.

- I'm so stunned and so sorry.

- Yeah, it's such a pity.

Well, thank you.

Sometimes I wonder how come

you're the leader of anything!

Please don't tell me

what Laura-Louise said...

because I'm not interested!

If you'd listened to me,

we wouldn't have had to do this!

- We'd have been all set to go now instead

of havin' to start all over from scratch!

- Shh!

I told you not to tell her in advance!

I told you

she wouldn't be open-minded!

I told Sister Veronica about the windows...

and she withdrew the school

from the competition. Otherwise...
