Candiland Page #4

Synopsis: Peter, a failed tennis star, is struggling to rebuild his life after a car accident forces the end of his career. Angry at the world's consumerist values and his controlling father, Arnie, whom he blames for being absent during his mother's dying days, Peter is desperately searching for a moment's peace. In an attempt at normality, he heads to a bar for a night out, where he encounters recently divorced and grieving Tess, abandoned and lonely. Finding solace in each other's brokenness, they withdraw to Peter's apartment and begin a sensual love affair. Days of bliss pass by, and when Tess reluctantly tries to leave to deal with the aftermath of her divorce, Peter proposes an idea: isolate themselves in his apartment to create their own reality - CANDiLAND. Now cut off from the world, the tormented lovers embark on a dogmatic quest for a higher existence. But their possessive love descends into a surreal savagery as Arnie attempts to reconnect with his son and put an end to CANDiLAND.

- All the way up and

down this f***ing hallway

you piece of sh*t!

F***ing a**hole.

Dick.

- It'll go away.

- What's it like for you

not being able to have kids?

- I feel...

Broken.

I feel trapped

inside the body that killed my

baby.

- Tess...

You are the most beautiful woman

that I've ever met.

- I'm hideous.

- You're gorgeous.

You have a beautiful face,

and a painfully sexy body.

- You're the first person to

ever make me feel attractive.

- Well, you've been with the

wrong people.

You are the perfect woman.

And these...

Are the perfect breasts.

- They don't feel perfect.

- What do they feel like?

- Tombstones.

I miss my baby.

How do you miss someone that

you've never even met?

- It's okay, Tess.

You can let it out.

I'm here.

- Don't make me break this door

down.

I've been the nobel's office.

Food is delivered here every

week.

- Is this how my night's

gonna go right now?

I'm just gonna have people

yelling at every goddamn door?

Can I help you, man?

- Get back in there.

- The f*** is going on here?

- Stay in there!

- I'm calling the cops you

motherf***er!

- Call 'em, dummy.

- You can't even live

your own life, old man!

- You don't know what's going on

anymore!

- The second I find happiness

here you are desperate to take

it away.

- Peter, come on, this is your

father.

- Well not this time!

- Hm.

- I am a legal adult now,

and there ain't a goddamn

thing that you can do

to get into this place.

- I like that, I like that

attitude.

- I hate you!

- For god's sake.

- I hate you, and I

don't want anything ever

to do with you ever again.

- I'm dismissed.

- I'm free now.

You answered my prayers.

- Did you get it?

- What?

Did I get what? What're you

talking about?

You asked me if I got it.

What did I get?

- I'm sorry Peter, I just woke

up.

I must've been dreaming or

something.

Peter moping so long!

- Sorry. I upset dad.

- Yeah?

He's gone!

Been long gone since a long

time.

What would you like for...

Food time?

Ooh!

Need help?

- No.

Cookies.

- Perfect.

Oopsie!

- Tess!

What is it?

- I saw it, I saw it.

- Saw what?

- The date.

The date was on the receipt.

The time, I saw the time.

- I know.

- You do?

- - Yes.

- We communicate...

- Without talking.

- I miss not knowing that it's

march 21st.

- Hey...

Gone.

Here.

Replaced.

- What're we doing here?

- Making a statement.

- What's that?

- That life can be giggles and

crunch.

Giggles and crunch?

- Squiggles and scrunch!

- Squiggles and scrunch!

- Squiggles and scrunch!

- Where's that water coming

from?

- It's slow leak from the

ceiling.

Looks like they tried to

stuff paper in it to plug it.

It's just mush now.
