that's a good idea?

Yeah.

Just a little something

to help take

the edge off. Okay?

I love you.

I love you more.

Robert.

Robert, wake up.

I think there's

someone outside.

It's fine, baby,

it's those, um,

doors downstairs.

It's okay.

Robert!

Robert!

You have to help me.

Robert! No!

Listen to me.

Sleep okay?

Who was she?

It was, uh, some backpacker.

She was hiking

with her boyfriend

and there was an accident.

What kind of an accident?

He fell from a cliff.

Oh, my God.

Is he okay?

She tried to help him,

but unfortunately,

he didn't make it.

Well, what about her?

She all right?

Physically, yes,

but emotionally,

she's pretty shook up.

What about the family?

Have you contacted them?

That's complicated.

I'm not even sure

if she has one.

Huh.

Right.

Here we go again.

This... There's not even

a hospital on this island, okay?

I'm concerned

she could be suicidal.

Yeah.

She could be dangerous.

How do you know

she's telling the truth?

I spent the entire night

with the authorities.

She's telling

the truth, trust me.

I think you should put her

on the next boat out.

I'm a psychiatrist.

You know what that means.

So now this is our problem.

Emily, be reasonable.

She's in a foreign country,

her boyfriend dies,

she runs into

some fellow Americans

and we tell her to f*** off?

How long is she staying,

Robert?

What would you

like me to tell her?

"My wife's not well.

Go somewhere else

to kill yourself"?

You couldn't even spare

a couple weeks to be with me?

Her boyfriend

was killed last night.

That may be.

I will not refuse a human being

in need. You know that.

Actually...

you're doing

a pretty good job just now.

That's perfect.

I'll tell her to leave.

So you'll pick

her up in an hour?

Okay. That works.

All right, thanks.

Bye.

Baby, one of the things

I love about you

is your integrity.

Let's help her out.

You're sure?

I'll have her out of here

in no time, I promise.

It'll be nice to have

some life around here.

Let's get her back on her feet.

I am, actually.

Sorry.

How are you doing?

Devastated. I...

I can't believe he's gone.

This has been such a nightmare.

I'm just glad that you're here

and you're willing to help me.

Well...

let's get you some clothes.

If it's not too much trouble?

Don't be silly.

What about this one?

Yeah, it'll look nice.

Okay.

By the way,

I've seen

all your movies. Heh, heh.

I'm a huge fan, for real.

Thanks.

That looks good.

It's a little baggy.

Ha-ha-ha.

Oh, you have such

great taste, Emily.

Really cool stuff.

I think that one's

gonna look really good.

We'll be right down.

Okay.

Yeah. That one

looks really cute.

Richard Burton Matheson (February 20, 1926 – June 23, 2013) was an American author and screenwriter, primarily in the fantasy, horror, and science fiction genres. He is best known as the author of I Am Legend, a 1954 science fiction horror vampire novel that has been adapted for the screen four times, as well as the movie Somewhere In Time for which Matheson wrote the screenplay, based on his novel Bid Time Return. Matheson also wrote 16 television episodes of The Twilight Zone, including "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" and "Steel".

Seven more of his novels or short stories have been adapted as major motion pictures — The Shrinking Man, Hell House, What Dreams May Come, Bid Time Return (filmed as Somewhere in Time), A Stir of Echoes, Steel (filmed as Real Steel), and Button, Button. Lesser movies based on his work include two from his early noir novels — Cold Sweat, based on his novel Riding the Nightmare, and Les seins de glace (Icy Breasts), based on his novel Someone is Bleeding. more…
