Nights in Rodanthe Page #4

That's not why I'm here, Mark.

Why the hell are you here?

Mark.

-Any problems with the anesthesia?

WOMAN:
No problems.

-Absolutely none? You sure?

WOMAN:
Yes.

-Miles Davis again, Dr. Flanner?

-Bach today. Bach.

[EKG BEEPING RAPIDLY]

WOMAN:
Charge.

MAN:
Charging.

Talk to me! Come on, now!

Three, four, five, six...

...seven, eight, nine, 10, 11...

-Good morning.

-Good morning.

Coffee's ready. Can I make you something

for breakfast?

Um, maybe later, I gotta go into town.

CHARLIE:
You looking for someone?

-Yeah. This Robert Torrelson's house?

Yeah, that's my father.

You with the bank?

No, I'm Paul Flanner. Is he in?

What the hell do you want coming here?

Your father wrote me a letter,

said he wanted to talk.

-Get back in your car and go.

-I told you, he wrote me.

And I told you to leave.

Nobody here has nothing to say to you.

What do you think...

...that you can just show up,

talk your way out of it?

Now get.

I'm staying at the inn.

Let him know that.

-I ain't telling you again.

-Let him know.

Son of a b*tch.

ADRIENNE:
What happened?

-Where are you taking these?

To the top of the stairs.

They're for the windows.

Well, I can do this.

PAUL:

I got it.

-You sure?

-Yep.

[YELLS]

Damn!

It's all right.

Here, let me do it. I've got gloves on.

-I can-

-Let me do this.

Okay.

I should go into town

and get some supplies.

[MEN CHEER]

MAN:
Bye.

DOT:
All right, y'all take care.

-Adrienne.

-Dot.

-Adrienne Willis.

-How are you?

Half out of my mind, that's how I am.

Getting folks stocked up

in case the storm blows in.

You'd better get ready

because it's gonna hit hard.

They say it's a-coming and it don't.

They say it ain't and it does.

I'm not used to seeing you

so late in the year.

-I'm looking after things for Jean.

-You've still got guests at the inn?

Look out, because it's gonna happen.

I know exactly how many cold Buds

I got back there.

[MEN CHEERING]

Hey, Dot, do you hear anything

about this family, the Torrelsons?

Well, there's only Robert

and their son Charlie left.

You know what happened to poor Jill.

I heard something.

They saved all their pennies

for some famous doctor from Raleigh.

I told her not to do it, I warned her.

God rest her soul.

You want some candles.

Yeah, look, I wanna get out of here now.

Yeah. As soon as I can.

Call me back.

So you're leaving early?

Yeah. Yeah, I'm trying to.

I'm thinking about it.

Look, I'm sorry

I was a little spun out before.

Does it have anything to do

with the Torrelsons?

I'm sorry, it's a small town.

What exactly did you hear?

Look, you don't owe me any explanation.

No, I don't. What did you hear?

Huh?

You wanna hear the truth?
