Something Wild Page #3

Synopsis: Mary Ann Robinson, a young woman living in The Bronx, New York, with her neurotic, overbearing mother and kindly but ineffectual stepfather, is raped while walking home one night. Keeping the attack to herself, Mary Ann runs away, seeking to lose herself in Manhattan by renting a seedy flat and taking a job in a dime store. Overwhelmed by people's hostility and her own despair, Mary Ann tries to jump off the Manhattan Bridge, only to be stopped by Mike, a garage mechanic who takes her back to his modest basement apartment nearby. At first appreciative of Mike's kindness, Mary Ann becomes terrified when he refuses to let her leave. Is Mike really Mary Ann's rescuer - or is he another rapist?

I'm going to the garage.

You can rest here

until I get back from work.

It's here. It's right here.

It's cool inside.

No one will bother you.

There. You see?

You can lie down there if you want.

I sleep in there.

Well, I have to go now. I'm late.

Thank you.

You feel better now?

Would you like something to eat?

Oh, no, thank you. I-I'm not hungry.

Come on. Have something.

I've had my dinner already.

Excuse me.

I'm, uh, going out now.

You can stay here if you want to.

Why don't you?

Hi.

What?

No!

Hi.

You don't seem to get much sleep.

That must have been some fight

I was in last night.

Let me out.

The door, open it.

Open it?

It's locked. Open it.

- Where are you going?

- I want to go out. Open the door.

- Wh-Why don't you stay?

- I don't want to! Let me go!

No.

Why not?

I don't want to.

I like the way you look here.

Let me go. I want to go.

- Please, let me go.

- I don't want you to!

My eye hurts.

You look tired.

Why don't you get some sleep?

I'm going.

Let me go.

What are you doing?

It's my scrapbook.

What is it?

Oh, things that interest me.

I want to go now.

Where?

I want to go home.

Where's that?

Where I live.

I have to go to work tomorrow.

What work?

I work at the five-and-ten.

I have to be there by noon.

I want to go now.

Why don't you stay here?

I have to go to work tomorrow.

How much do you make

at the five-and-ten?

Enough for me.

Let me go now.

Well, I'll pay you whatever you make at

the five-and-ten, and you can stay here.

- It won't cost you anything.

- Why do you want me to stay here?

If it weren't for me,

you'd be at the bottom of the river!

You can't complain.

I'm going to bed. I'm sleepy.

Why do you want me to stay?

You're my last chance.

I'm what?

I said you're my last chance.

Why talk about it? Good night.

Why don't you eat something?

I'm not hungry.

You're getting thinner all the time.

You look like a ghost.

If I went out sometimes, I'd be less pale.

Sometimes I think you're hopeless.

Mary Ann.

Mary Ann.

Mary Ann.

Mary Ann. Mary Ann Robinson.

Okay.

Go away. Go away! Leave me alone!

Oh, excuse me.

I had a bad dream.

It's okay.

You sure had me scared.

I thought you were going loony on me.

Sometimes I think I'm going loony myself.

Oh. I may yet.

Sleep tight. I'm going to work.

Come on. Have something to eat.

It's all ready.

I bought us a steak.

We haven't had anything

really good to eat for a long time.

I bought us some wine too for a change.

French wine. Do you like wine?

What's that on your eye?

That's nothing.

I told you I was going to get this.

Only cost a buck.

And that's all?

What do you mean, that's all?

The doctor isn't
