LULA:

You’re terrible crude sometimes,

Sailor, you know?

SAILOR:

I can’t hardly understand you when

you talk with one of them Mores in

your mouth.

Lula takes a long, slow drag on her More and sets it down on the edge of

the sink.

LULA:

I said you can be too crude sometimes?

I don’t think I care for it.

SAILOR:

Sorry, sugar. Go on and tell me how

old Pooch done the deed.

LULA:

Well, mama was at the Busy Bee havin’

her hair dyed? And I was alone in

the house.

CUT TO:

29. INT. FORTUNE HOUSE - KITCHEN - DAY

We see what she talks about.

LULA:

(voice-over)

Uncle Pooch came in the side door

through the porch, you know? Where

I was makin’ a jelly and banana

sandwich? I remember I had my hair

in curlers cause I was goin’ that

night with Vicki and Cherry Ann, the

DeSoto sisters. Uncle Pooch must have

known nobody but me was home, cause

he came right in and put both his

hands on my butt and sorta shoved me

up against the counter.

CUT TO:

30. INT. CAPE FEAR HOTEL - DAY

SAILOR:

Didn’t he say somethin’?

Lula shakes her head. She picks up her cigarette, takes a puff and

throws it into the toilet.

ECU of cigarette in toilet.

LULA:

Not really. Least not so I recall now.

Lula flushes the toilet and watches the More come apart as it swirls

down the hole.

ECU of cigarette coming apart as it swirls.

SAILOR:

So how’d he finally nail you? Right

there in the kitchen?

LULA:

No, he picked me up.

CUT TO:

31. INT. FORTUNE HOUSE - KITCHEN/MAID’S ROOM - DAY

We see what she talks about.

LULA:

(voice-over)

He was short but powerful. With

hairy arms? Anyway, he carried me

into the maid’s dayroom which nobody

used. We did it there on an old bed.

CUT TO:

32. INT. CAPE FEAR HOTEL - DAY

SAILOR:

‘We’ did it? Whattaya mean? Didn’t

he force you?

LULA:

Well, sure. But he was super-gentle,

you know? I mean, he raped me and

all, but I guess there’s all

different kinds of rapes. I didn’t

exactly want him to do it but I

suppose once it started, it didn’t

seem all that terrible. It was over

pretty quick, and after Uncle Pooch

just stood there and pulled up his

trousers and left me there. I

stayed in bed till I heard him drive

off. Then I just went back into

the kitchen and finished makin’ my

sandwich.

SAILOR:

And you never told nobody about it?

LULA:

Just you. Uncle Pooch never acted

strange or different after. And he

never did anything else to me. I

always got a nice present from him

at Christmas, like a coat or jewelry?

(pause)

CUT TO:

33. TWO LANE HIGHWAY - DAY

One hundred twenty decibels - head on collision of a ’54 Ford Pick-Up

and a ’64 Chevy Station Wagon. No survivors. Balls of flame and

grinding metal.
