The Girl in the Park Page #3

Synopsis: Enduringly traumatized by the disappearance of her 3-year-old daughter 15 years ago, Julia Sandburg has cut herself off from anyone once near and dear to her, including her husband Doug and her son Chris, who tried for years to penetrate her wall of isolation and despair, without success. But when Julia meets Louise, a troubled young woman with a checkered past, all Julia's old psychic wounds painfully resurface, as does her illogical and increasingly irrational hope that Louise may be the daughter she lost so long ago.

my own merchandise?

These glasses

belonged to my mother.

Okay? She gave them to me

right before she died

- from leukemia, you a**hole.

- Right.

- Tell it to the police.

- Just a minute.

She did have the glasses on

when she came in.

I saw her.

In fact, I saw her earlier at a restaurant,

and she had them on then, too.

Hey! Hey!

I'm late for work.

Why'd you do that?

That's exactly what I want

to talk to you about.

The whole construction process.

With those heavy treads,

they track in mud, they track in...

- Hey, Flaco.

- Oh, hey, boss.

- Thanks.

- Gracias.

I know you Iike

your extra Sweet'n Low.

Thanks, man.

So what's going on?

I got a phone call from Leo.

- Good Iuck.

- A crisis inside?

There's a lot of people in and out.

- But they're always different.

- Yeah, there are--

Mrs. Kareken. Mrs. Kareken.

They are 19 people that we've

worked with before.

- How you doing? I'm Chris.

- Ah, yes.

- You remember me?

- Oh, yes, Chris.

You all right?

Do they have to be so noisy?

Come on over here.

Let's get out of their way.

A Iittle noise is a good thing.

It means that we're

actually doing some work.

Now, every day, either Leo or l

are gonna be here on the site.

Well get a progress report faxed to you

by the end of the day.

If you got any problems,

then you just call me 24/7.

- You got my cell phone, right?

- It sounds very organized.

I had no idea they were

going to be so noisy.

Demolitions are noisy, Mrs. Kareken.

- Hey, hey, hey.

- Uh-huh.

Calm down. Just don't worry.

When we get done here, you're gonna

have a beautiful home, all right?

Thanks.

- Ill see you later.

- Good night.

- Have a good weekend.

- Yeah.

- Good night.

- Good night.

You work really late.

It's not Iike I've been here all day.

I did some stuff and came back.

I thought I'd...

You ran off before

I could say thanks.

That guy in the drugstore--

such a d*ckhead.

You did take those glasses.

Yeah.

Oh, Jesus.

Hey, wait. Will you stop?

I just wanna talk to you for one minute.

Whatever you want from me,

forget it.

- I just wanted to tell you that--

- Do you understand?

Whatever you have

to say to me, I don't care.

There was this guy.

I met him in Michigan.

That's where I'm from.

He's this, um, successful guy

from New York

on a business trip or whatever.

So we hook up,

and he's there for, Iike, three days.

And he says if I come to New York...

Actually, it's more Iike--

it's more Iike,

when I come to New York.

Like he expects me to come.

Like it's a done deal.

And when I do, you know--

all these promises,

all this incredible stuff.

So I come. I show up.

And he's shocked, right?

Like, right away,
