Rosemary's Baby Page #5

Synopsis: Rosemary and Guy Woodhouse move into an apartment in an opulent but gothic building in Manhattan. Their landlord Edward "Hutch" Hutchins attempts to dissuade them from doing so: the building has an unsavory history. They discover that their neighbors are a very friendly elderly couple named Roman and Minnie Castevet, and Guy begins to spend a great deal of time with them. Strange things begin to happen: a young woman Rosemary meets in the laundry commits suicide, Rosemary has strange dreams and hears strange noises and Guy becomes remote and distant. Then Rosemary falls pregnant and begins to suspect that her neighbors have special plans for her child.

I told her I'd have to check with you

but that it'd probably be okay.

Oh, Jesus.

We don't have to do that, do we, honey?

I think they're Ionely.

We get friendly with an old couple like that,

we'll never get rid of them.

They're right across the wall.

I told her she could count on us.

- You don't have to sulk about it.

- I'm not sulking.

I see exactly what you mean.

- Hell, we'll go.

- No, no. What for?

- We'll go!

- No, we don't have to if you don't want to.

That sounds so phony, but I really mean it.

Really, I do.

Be my good deed for today.

Okay, but only if you want to.

And we'll make it clear

it's just for this one night...

and not the beginning of anything, right?

Ah, perfect timing!

Come on in.

Roman's fixing some vodka blushes.

My, I'm glad you could come, Guy.

I'm fixin' to tell everybody

that I knew you when.

Look, dinner isn't ready just yet,

but sit down there anywhere, love.

Take a seat on the couch.

You're gonna find yourself very...

I seem to have overfilled the glasses.

No, no, no. Don't get up.

Generally I pour these out precisely

as a bartender. Don't I, Minnie?

- Just watch the carpet.

- But this evening I made a little too much...

Ah, there we are.

No, no, no. Sit down, please.

- Now, Mrs. Woodhouse.

- Thank you.

Mr. Woodhouse,

uh, vodka blush?

- Yes, thanks.

- Have you ever tasted one?

- No, no, I haven't.

- It looks delicious.

Minnie.

They're very popular in Australia.

Now, to our guests.

Welcome to our home.

- Hear, hear.

- Cheers.

- -

The carpet!

- Oh, dear.

- Brand-new carpet.

This man's so clumsy!

- Do you come from Australia?

- Oh, no, no.

I'm from right here in New York City.

I've been there, though.

I've been everywhere, literally.

You name a place, and I've been there.

- Go ahead. Name a place.

- Fairbanks, Alaska.

I've been there.

Been all over Alaska.

Yes, Fairbanks, Juneau, Anchorage...

Nome, Sitka, Seward.

- I spent four months there in '38.

- Where are you folks from?

- Well...

- Well, I...

I'm from Omaha.

Guy's from Baltimore.

Omaha's a good city.

Baltimore is too.

- Do you travel for business?

- Well, business and pleasure both.

I'm 79, and I've been going

one place or another since I was ten.

You name a place, I've been there.

Ah! Steak's ready.

Don't rush your drinks, now.

Roman, take your pill.

No pope ever visits a city

where the newspapers are on strike.

I heard he's gonna postpone

and wait till it's over.

Well, that's showbiz.

That's exactly what it is.

All the costumes, the rituals...

all religions.

Oh, oh, I think we're offendin' Rosemary.

- No. No.

- You're not religious, my dear, are you?

Well, I-I was brought up a Catholic.
