Water's Edge Page #3

I want to know what you did | to make that man want to kill you.

Robert!

( low ) | What I did? What I did?

Like, what? | Like somehow this is my fault?

- That's not what I meant. | - I may not be a perfect person, mister,

but I sure don't know what I did | to be beat on like I was.

- I'm not saying-- | - Because I was sure as hell asking him

when he was cuffing my hands | behind my back,

- and kicking me in the face. .. | - Rae, he didn't mean to imply that--

...pulling my panties off | and yanking my legs apart.

That's a really good | question, mister.

I'd like to know that myself.

Maybe you should've asked the sorry | son of a b*tch before you killed him.

You may want to get some rest | if you're coming with us tonight.

Truck's a little low on gas, | but as soon as we get into town--

What was that all about? | It was like you were attacking her.

- That's not what I was doing. | - You can't expect a young girl

to snap back like a rubber band after | she's been through something like that.

You have to give her time.

- Remember when Ashley's teacher-- | - Let's not do that.

You might want to wait | until that cools.

You don't want to crack your tank.

I was ugly in there. | I-- I'm sorry.

I know you didn't mean | what you said,

I just...

- got a lot of anger in me. | - That's understandable.

Really? | I don't understand any of it.

Maybe in time.

Maybe.

I don't think it's going to get | any cooler than that.

You saved my life. | No one's ever done that before.

Thank you.

It's a first for me, too.

Someone's coming up the drive.

- What do we do? | - Hide. Get in the back.

They must have found the car. | They're coming for me.

Who's coming for you?

Just go. Hide, hide.

Anyone in there?

Robert Graves? | I have a summons for you.

- What did I do? | - Nothing yet.

But we expect great things.

( laughs ) | Joe Riley. Nice to meet you.

I own the three service stations | we got in Reedsville.

- Man:
Hey son, Molly inside? | - Uh... no. Yeah, we--

Actually, she's-- she's resting.

What can I do for you boys?

We want to talk to you | about this.

I didn't know you were a fan.

I'm not going to lie. I haven't read | a book since Johnson was President.

But listen, the library board | wanted me to ask you--

Beg-- | they said beg.

Wanted me to beg you to come to our | auction tonight as our featured guest.

An auction?

of the renovation committee.

You know, | new roof, computers--

we just thought, | with you in attendance--

Listen. Of all things,

your book was a selection | for our Ladies' Auxiliary Book Club.

fan base in town.

Little? There are 20 blue-haired | ladies that have read it.

They are ecstatic.
