Rosemary's Baby Page #4

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.

Hello. How are you?

- Fine. May I come in a minute?

- Yes, of course. Please do.

I just come over to thank you for saying

those nice things the other night.

- Oh, no, please...

- Poor Terry.

We thought maybe we failed her some way...

though her note made it crystal clear we hadn't.

You'll never know how helpful it was

in such a shock moment.

So I do thank you. Roman does too.

Roman's my hubby.

You're welcome.

I'm glad I could help.

Yeah. Well, she was

cremated yesterday.

Now we gotta forget and go on.

It won't be easy. We don't have children

of our own. You have any?

- No, we don't.

- No? Well, there you...

Oh! That's a nice...

Look how you put the table!

Isn't that interesting?

- I saw it in a magazine.

- Oh, my.

Nice paint job. Oh.

Oh. Oh, that's nice. What is that?

That's the TV room?

Well, only temporarily.

It's going to be a nursery.

- Oh, you pregnant?

- No, not yet.

- I hope to be as soon as we're settled.

- Wonderful.

Well, you're young and healthy.

You ought to have lots of children.

We plan to have three.

Dying to see what you did to this apartment.

The woman who had it before

was a dear friend of mine.

- I know. Terry told me.

- Oh, did she?

- You two had some long talks together

in the laundry room, huh?

- Only one.

Oh, my goodness!

Ah, it looks so much brighter.

What do you pay for a chair like that?

Uh... Oh, I'm not sure, really.

I think about $200.

What does your hubby do?

He's an actor.

I knew it!

I said it to Roman yesterday.

He's so good-Iookin'.

What movies was he in?

No movies.

He was in two plays...

called Luther and Nobody Loves An Albatross...

and a lot of television and radio.

Listen, Rosemary,

I got a two-inch-thick sirloin steak...

sittin' defrostin' this minute.

Why don't you and Guy come over and have

supper with us tonight? What do you say?

- Oh, no, we couldn't.

- Why not?

- No. Really, that's very kind of you, but...

- It would be a real help to us.

First night we'll be alone since...

Are you sure it wouldn't be

too much trouble for you?

Honey, if it was trouble, I wouldn't ask you.

All right. You go ahead and count on us.

I'll have to check with Guy, though.

Listen, you tell him

I won't take no for an answer.

Oh, here's your mail.

Nah, ads.

Thank you.

Yoo-hoo!

Donald Baumgart got that part.

It's a bad play anyway.

Even if it folds out of town,

it's the kind of part that gets noticed.

Mrs. Castevet was here...

to thank me for what I said about Terry.

She is the nosiest person I've ever seen.

You know she actually asked

the prices of things?

- No kidding.

- Mm.

She invited us to have dinner with them tonight.
