By the Sea Page #3

so I'm happy here.

Mmm.

We might have a big sailing day next week.

And we don't really have

any friends up here, so...

would you and your husband

consider coming?

- Sailing?

- Yes, sailing. Why not?

It can be fun.

And you can do the same thing

you're doing now,

- only on the sea.

- (CHUCKLES)

- I'll talk to my husband.

- Sure.

Good night.

Good night.

- VANESSA:
Hi.

- Hi.

Thought I'd bring dinner home tonight.

VANESSA:
I'll get some plates.

- Nessa?

- Yeah?

We okay?

We are... the same

as we've been for a long time.

No different.

Okay.

They asked if we wanted to go sailing.

How wonderful. And you said?

I said we hate boats and we hate people.

No, you didn't.

I didn't, but we do.

So we're not going, right?

Do you wanna go?

Why do I feel like

that's a trick question?

I just thought maybe an adventure

would be good for us.

Maybe, I don't know.

You realize how shocking that is

to hear you say that?

But, yes, I would love

something fun for us.

ROLAND:
Were you watching them?

What were they doing?

I ask because I was here the other day

while you were on a walk,

and I noticed the hole,

and I watched them...

f***ing.

Does that bother you?

Will you watch with me?

Good morning.

- VANESSA:
Morning.

We're out of milk.

Will you get some when you go to work?

You watch them in the morning?

Sometimes.

I think I might stay home today.

Is that all right? Do you wanna be alone?

No.

Are we perverse?

Would it bother you if we were?

No.

- Hey, neighbor.

- Morning.

It's our two-months anniversary.

I was thinking of berries and cream.

Maybe port? I don't know.

- I guess it's the thought.

- Yeah. When's yours?

Winter.

Winter? (CHUCKLES)

(DOOR CLOSES)

Were you with her?

She was at the store.

It's their anniversary.

Ah.

When's ours?

November. Uh... End of November.

Yeah.

What day?

ROLAND:
27, 20...

Can't remember.

Me neither.

- Ness?

- Mmm?

It doesn't mean anything.

It doesn't mean anything

that we can't remember.

Okay?

They had fresh pastries.

(VANESSA AND FRANOIS

SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

What did he want?

- VANESSA:
Who?

- Franois.

He wanted to know

if we still wanted to go sailing.

You're lying.

He asked me for a cigarette.

I started smoking when we got here,

and you were here, so I said I was out.
