Claire is a Toronto based actor with only a few on-screen credits, and is married to a woman named Helen who is currently several months pregnant. Adam then becomes obsessed with meeting Claire, who he learns upon first sighting that they look exactly the same, from the facial hair to a scar each has, but Claire who outwardly is more "put together" than Adam.

bring her home.

And I'm gonna

come back here...

bring back all your things,

and I'm gonna disappear

from your life forever.

And then I'll be gone.

- What are you doing here?

- What the f*** is this place,

man? You live here?

I have some questions for you.

- Please go, or I'll call the police.

- Well, go ahead.

Call the police.

What are you gonna tell them?

What are you

gonna tell them, man?

Why'd you come looking

for me?

- I don't... I don't know.

I don't know. I just...

I needed to know.

- Needed to know, yeah, OK,

but when you called my house,

you talked to my wife.

Why'd you do that?

- She happened

to pick up the phone.

OK, yeah, but...

Can I ask you something?

Just man to man?

Um...

Did you sleep with my wife?

- I don't know

what you're talking about.

- Did you f*** my wife?

- This is crazy.

- Just answer

the question, man.

Just answer

my f***ing question,

and then I will leave.

- You're f***ing crazy.

- All right.

I'm f***ing crazy?

I'M F***ING CRAZY?!

I'M F***ING CRAZY?!

You brought my wife

into this, man!

So I'm gonna bring your girlfriend

into the picture as well.

You want me out of your life?

This is what's gonna happen first.

You're gonna give me

your clothes and your car,

I'm gonna take your girlfriend

on a little romantic getaway.

I'm gonna bring her back home tomorrow,

and then I'm gonna come back here, and I'm

gonna bring back all your

stuff, and I'm going to

disappear from your life

forever. Then we will be even.

Mr. Claire.

Good afternoon.

Everything good?

- Yeah. I... I just, um...

...uh, forgot my keys.

- Is Mrs. Claire

not home?

Do you want me

to open the door for you?

- That would be

perfect, yeah.

- I can't stop thinking

about the other night.

Can't get it

out of my head.

I know I shouldn't

talk about this, but...

...I'd love to go back.

I heard they changed the

lock and sent out new keys,

but...

...I don't think

I'm on the list.

I need to go back.

- I mean... I'll see

what I can do.

I mean...

I don't know if that's

gonna be possible.

- Call me

if you hear anything.

After you.

OK, here you go, Mr. Claire.

- Thank you.

Hello?

- Anthony?

- Hi.

- The light's on.

You freaked me out.

- Sorry.

- What are you doing home?

I thought you were

I stayed longer

José Saramago

José de Sousa Saramago, GColSE (Portuguese: [ʒuˈzɛ ðɨ ˈsozɐ sɐɾɐˈmaɣu]; 16 November 1922 – 18 June 2010), was a Portuguese writer and recipient of the 1998 Nobel Prize in Literature. His works, some of which can be seen as allegories, commonly present subversive perspectives on historic events, emphasizing the theopoetic human factor. In 2003 Harold Bloom described Saramago as "the most gifted novelist alive in the world today" and in 2010 said he considers Saramago to be "a permanent part of the Western canon", while James Wood praises "the distinctive tone to his fiction because he narrates his novels as if he were someone both wise and ignorant."More than two million copies of Saramago's books have been sold in Portugal alone and his work has been translated into 25 languages. A proponent of libertarian communism, Saramago criticized institutions such as the Catholic Church, the European Union and the International Monetary Fund. An atheist, he defended love as an instrument to improve the human condition. In 1992, the Government of Portugal under Prime Minister Aníbal Cavaco Silva ordered the removal of The Gospel According to Jesus Christ from the Aristeion Prize's shortlist, claiming the work was religiously offensive. Disheartened by this political censorship of his work, Saramago went into exile on the Spanish island of Lanzarote, upon which he resided until his death in 2010.Saramago was a founding member of the National Front for the Defense of Culture in Lisbon in 1992, and co-founder with Orhan Pamuk, of the European Writers' Parliament (EWP). more…
