ROSE:

I took your advice.

What?

He-- He laughed at me.

I told him about you and me

and how he had to change

and he just kept on laughing.

I got rid of him, Mary,

just like you told me to.

I worked all night.

Real quiet

so the neighbors wouldn't hear.

They'll never find him.

They'll think he ran away

with one of his tramps.

You killed him.

I can move into

the apartment now.

They don't care who pays the rent.

I always hoped I'd live there

with Bobby someday, but...

Mary, are you there?

Don't ever call me, understand?

I just did what you told me to do.

Don't ever call me again.

[SPEAKING IN FRENCH]

Marie?

[SPEAKS IN FRENCH]

Oh, God.

[SCREAMS]

How big is he?

Bigger than you.

Yeah, but I'm wiry.

Be careful.

Come here.

Why?

Come here.

That's not what I saw.

JOHN:

How did you end up down here?

MARY:

Navy brat. My dad was stationed

at Roosey Roads.

It's just closed, right?

Mm-hm.

You?

My grandparents came over

from Turin.

I was born here, but I went to

school in Florida. Gainesville.

Taught there for a while.

And then I saw the opening

at the college.

Don't get many Italians

in San Juan.

By the time my grandfather

realized this wasn't New York,

the boat had already sailed.

That's not true.

Ma, that true about Pappy?

Idiot got on the wrong boat.

Thank you very much, Mrs. Guidi.

I like this one.

Does he, uh,

bring girls around often?

One time before.

Ma.

She asked, I'm gonna tell.

A girl called Trulli.

Trudy, Trudy.

That girl could eat like a horse.

Ma.

Giovanni, that girl Johnny

brought home, what did she eat?

Let's see.

Caesar salad, roast beef,

french fries, carrots,

minced peas, three pieces of

bread and butter and a tiramisu.

What happened to Trudy?

She exploded.

Would you like something else?

No, thank you.

We should be--

We should be going.

Mm-mm.

Hey, see you, Pop.

Nice meeting you, Mary.

Good night.

Bye-bye.

It's not where

I pictured you.

I needed a place in a hurry.

It's not so bad.

The apartments are really big.

Thanks for tonight.

You're welcome.

Good night.

Good night.

STEVEN:
Whose jacket?

How did you get in here?

How many times I told you?

Can't go leaving the back door open.

Lucky it was me.

Could have been anyone.

I'm calling the police.

Go ahead.

If you wanna make me angry.

Neither one of us wants that.

All these lawyers.

We haven't had a chance to talk.

You can't be here.

Not within 500 feet of me.

Five hundred feet.

[GASPS]

[CHUCKLES]

Come on.

It's kind of ridiculous, isn't it?

What do you want?

I miss you, Mary.

I mean, the way we were,

the fun we used to have.

Remember? So I just said,
