Stoker Page #2

Synopsis: India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) was not prepared to lose her father and best friend Richard (Dermot Mulroney) in a tragic auto accident. The solitude of her woodsy family estate, the peace of her tranquil town, and the unspoken somberness of her home life are suddenly upended by not only this mysterious accident, but by the sudden arrival of her Uncle Charlie (Matthew Goode), whom she never knew existed. When Charlie moves in with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman), India thinks the void left by her father's death is finally being filled by his closest bloodline. Soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives. Yet instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless young woman becomes increasingly infatuated with him.

(WHISTLING)

This really

is a beautiful garden.

The soil...

is so soft.

Good for digging.

CHARLES:
I'm not exactly

sure what you're driving at.

McGARRICK:

I don't want any trouble.

I am the only one who would know

anything about it.

I did everything

you asked of me.

I kept you informed every year.

I was your eyes, your ears,

your hands all this time.

You're acting like

you're in diapers now

and you've done this to me

ever since you were a child.

I'm tired of it.

I am tired of it.

All right.

EVELYN:

Mrs. McGarrick?

Mrs. McGarrick?

Where is she?

INDIA:

I haven't seen her yet.

Good morning.

(SHUTS OFF MUSIC)

It's afternoon.

Oh. I guess it is.

Do you think you could...?

That's my girl. Thank you.

Hmm.

What are you doing today?

Thought I'd...

draw the curtains,

stop the clocks,

cover the mirrors

and then retire to my room.

Don't be morbid.

Get rid of that dress.

What is that?

It's my mourning attire.

Why don't we get out of here?

Hmm?

Go shopping.

We could get some ice cream.

In Victorian times, a widow was

expected to mourn her husband

for two years.

At least.

India.

But in Ancient China

they built a straw hut

beside the grave

and live there

for three years doing nothing.

You and me, ice cream,

fresh air.

Come on, all these years

of hunting trips with him

and all I'm asking for

is one afternoon with me.

That's what your father

would have wanted.

You know, your father and I

weren't always so distant.

I miss when he was...

...young.

Mature aroma.

You chose a good year.

You can't compare it

to a younger wine.

Too tannic.

Not ready to be open.

You should have come with us,

India. Oh, the open top,

the air. It felt so good.

We stopped and Uncle Charlie

got some ice cream for you.

CHARLES:

One chocolate, one vanilla.

Did I get it right?

I like the swirl kind.

You can make the swirl yourself,

you lazy thing.

Where's Mrs. McGarrick?

She's still not here.

EVELYN:
What? What

are we supposed to do?

I'm not much in the kitchen.

I can cook a little.

EVELYN:

No, you don't have to do that.

I'd love to.

Charlie, who in the world

are you?

CHARLES:
India, would you take

these down to the freezer, please?

Do as your uncle tells you.

Thank you.

Thank you, India.
