Welcome the Stranger Page #3

Very strange.

(MISTY GASPS)

(GIGGLES)

You scared me.

ETHAN:
I'm sorry.

For what?

I didn't know she was coming.

She just showed up.

It's okay.

I mean, it was a bit of

a shock, but it's okay.

She's just staying for

one more night, I think.

- You think?

- I'll ask her to leave tomorrow.

No, I didn't mean

she should leave.

It's just, I was looking forward

to spending more time with you.

(GRUNTS)

There you are.

What are you doing?

Are you sure

she's your girlfriend?

No, I'm not sure.

Yes, Alice. What the f***?

What are you talking about?

I've seen her before.

Probably saw a picture

around the house.

Yes, in the picture.

ETHAN:
Where'd you find that?

In the closet, with the dress.

I thought it was her.

- Misty?

- Never mind.

It doesn't matter.

What?

Guess I'm gonna

leave, then.

Why?

- I don't want to get in the way.

- You're not getting in the way.

No, it's fine. Really.

I'm gonna leave.

I mean, I'm not sure where I'm

gonna go, but I'll figure it out.

Why don't you stay one more

night? Just one more night.

I've already told

her all about you.

We'll get to know

one another.

Why didn't you

tell me about her?

Didn't I?

- Don't try and make me feel crazy.

- I'm not.

Yes, you are. You didn't

tell me about her.

Why?

- I don't know. I don't trust you.

- Trust me to what?

'Cause you'd do

something weird.

You'd make fun of her,

you'd be mean to her.

Where'd you say you met?

- Nearby. She was up here on a film.

- Mmm.

- Didn't I tell you that?

- Stop saying that! You didn't tell me.

Is she an actress?

Yes. She was up

here on a film.

- Where?

- Los Angeles.

You just said

here, Ethan.

No, I meant that...

We met here, but she just

got back from Los Angeles.

- Hollywood?

- I don't know.

- It's the same thing, isn't it?

- Sort of.

What kind of name

is Misty, anyway?

I don't know.

Does she just mist about

from room to room,

just being all misty and sh*t?

- What's up with you?

- How long have you been dating?

I don't know.

A few months.

You sure seem confused

about your relationship.

You're making me confused.

Don't blame your weakness

on my strength.

She's nice.

I'm happy.

Can't you be happy for me?

But I can stay

a few more nights?

Yeah, I already

said that.

I thought she picked me.

I'm very confused.

- What are you talking about?

- Okay, fine.

I'll stay, okay?

Okay.

Just another week

or so, though.

I already said that's okay.

Okay. Okay.

You wanna help?

Sure.

Why don't you

break up the lettuce?

I like your hair.

Thanks.

Mount St. Helens.

What?

My necklace.

It's made with the minerals from

when Mount St. Helens erupted
