10 Cloverfield Lane Page #5

Her name was Leslie, I think.

You knew her?

She was a neighbor.

Emmett wasn't the only one

that knew about this place.

If any others somehow survived,

they could be coming here too.

As of Friday, kindness and generosity

are antiquated customs.

I'm going to need some stitches.

Why, you want me to..?

This is your doing, isn't it?

I mean,

I don't think I'm really qualified.

I'll walk you through it.

Here.

Have a drink.

What is it?

Technically, it's ..

Vodka

Safe. I distill it myself.

- I just said I distill

it, I didn't say anything

about it tasting good....

Yeah, that's awful.

You want it on the rocks.

Little trick I taught

myself as a young man

stationed on a ship, with

way too much free time.

Every now and again, if

the CO was working us

too hard. We'd freeze

and snap the knob off..

The bathroom door while

they were still inside.

I guess it took an hour or two, to get out

I'm good.

Suit yourself. Cheers.

This is clean.

All you need to do is .. stitch.

You're doing fine.

Stuff I grabbed from your car.

Didn't have time to bring in the booze.

Sadly.

What is all that?

I wanted to design clothes.

No wonder you were so

good with the stiches.

Megan wanted to be an artist.

- She was your daughter?

- Yeah

She was smart, loved to read,

the magazines or just for fun.

She inhaled books.

Anything with Paris.

She liked their movies.

Their culture, you know.

We used to have this little joke,

every once in a while, I'd ask her..

What do you want to be

when you grow up?

And you know what she'd say?

French.

Anyway,

Her mother turned her against me.

Took her off to Chicago.

People are strange creatures

You can't always convince them that

safety is in their own best interest

You don't know they're gone.

Anyway,

At least I tried to help them.

Hey, you know there is nothing

you could've done for that woman

Even if you had let her in,

she still would've died.

You asked earlier about .. regrets,

Yeah, I got some of those.

Welcome to the club.

I mean, I lived my life

in a 40-mile radius.

And that was by design,

I made sure that happened.

I was so fast in high school,

I even managed to outrun my bad grades.

I was all-state track,

Three years in a row.

Caught a full ride to Louisiana Tech

up there in Ruston.

I remember I spent the last

two weeks of that summer,

Showing off the bus ticket they

sent me, to anybody who looked at it

And then came the night

before I was supposed to leave,

And I just got so worried,

About how bad I was

going to do up there

With all those smart kids

So I went out of my way

To get just pissed wasted, so bad that

There was no chance I was waking
