Communion

COMMUNION

Someone is here.

Mm...

Darling... Come.

Knock-knock.

She says... he says...

I like this. OK.

Really, because, you know, I like a "knock-knock" joking.

You can do...

I can do "knock-knock" jokes.

Based on the true experiences of one American family.

New York, 1985.

Get up!

I'm cookin', I'm cookin'...

I'm on the roll.

What's the matter with you?

Boom!

Where is dad?

I don't know, office maybe...

- Whitley! - Oh, now I have you.

I got you! Got you, baby!

What's the problem, the computer or you?

Today it was everything, I tell you. It was full scale revolution, total war.

Give me your jacket.

Terrible day. What a day, what a day, what a schmear.

Hey hey, what's the matter? Give me a kiss!

There is something wrong with you?

I had such a terrible day.

First the computer turns off,

then the wolf painting jumps off the wall.

It attacks me without provocation.

Then your mother calls, the toilet explodes.

The duck I'm cooking tries to tell me how to live my life.

The computer completely erased itself when it turned off.

No wonder that I can't write my great American novel.

Does this mean you're too tired to go to the country?

No, it doesn't mean that.

What did you lose?

I lost... you know, I lost another day,

what I lost was gold, golden notions erased, smoked dreams,

phantoms... What I crave is... you know

...consolation.

Oh, brother...

You know, it could be the computer turned off for a reason.

Why would that be?

It could be...

I felt that the book I'm...

working on is no good.

What? Why you do that to yourself?

It was a rotten accident.

- Once the duck... - We'll get to go down the fire escape?

Not again... This one is bad.

- Give me something. - Here, here.

- Just give me something. - You're gonna need some water.

Give me... something to put on it.

I need to turn it off.

What the code is? 664... 6664...?

- It's 18-57 - Don't... don't... don't...! Please!

The year we were married.

Don't... The red light is on! Oh no...

Remember what happened last time.

Oh God... will you get the door?

I'm sorry, we get... we get the little...

- ...small catastrophe. - Geez. Are you ok?

Honey...

What's the matter?

What isn't the matter, will you look at this?

Open the window.

Give me that.

Get some air in here.

Could you save me? I married this.

Open the window over there, please!

- Put it over your face. - Thank you.

Breath shallowly.

We are not going to the country, right?

No, we're going to the country. No problem. This is all part of the plan...

I know, the last time...

- That's it, heh? - That's it.

Hi, Al.

- That's the fire? - It's just food. Food.

The duck.

Really?

That worked to burn the duck.

891 Feetstreet...

- It shouldn't happen... - ...23, repeat, is a 23.

- You've been warned before. - I know. I'm sorry.

You'll receive your summons in the mail.

- This stuff is so sensitive... - 200 dollars.

No, stop!

New policy.

It just goes off, I don't know what happened... Thank you.

- Back to the station! - Thank you!

Let your wife cook.

Dad, turn this thing off!

Turn it off, Dad.

3-9-27-81, I know what it is.

It's a geometric, not arithmetical.

- It's your birthday? You just repress it. - It also does not work.

You've never had that alarm here before.

Ah, you see? You see? Anne knows how to make it work.

Just read the instruction.

Dad...?

Dad?

Dad!

Dad!

- What's up? - Spider!

What?!

Aaah!

Go on, kill it!

Kill it!

- Oh, that is a big one. - Here it is, here it is.

Now it's in your pants!

Alex, do something!

Now it's on you!

Just a peaceful night in the country.

There it going to sleep now, with you.

Will sing to you.

If you leave the room and you come right back in, usually it's gone.

I'm glad...

that this is not my room.

Have a nice night.

You know...

...it might not have been... a spider I saw.

Say something dirty.

- Socks. - Come on...

Say... say erect... Can you say: erection?

I'll never say it!

What do you think he's doing? Alex?

What do you mean what I think he's doing?

I know what he's doing.

He's doing the old Romanian turn on, he's saying:

I see ghosts of wolves.

I see ghosts of wolves that "huuum". You know I see the dark beautiful forests...

And she's like this... She's like this.

And at night there would be only silence.

And I shall hear the wolves.

But there are no wolves here.

I wonder if there are ghosts.

The house is new.

No, I mean the ghosts of the wolves.

The ones that have been killed.

Stop it.

No, quiet, quiet...

So, you wanna fool around?

- You look good. - Thanks.

It's been an ice age, I've missed you...

...you old ball and chain.

Is that someone there?

Hey, hey, wow...

What's the matter, boss? What's the matter?

- There was something here! - Shake it up, come on.

Something very bad!

Wow, it was the nightmare. What are you talking about?

No, no dad.

- It was the nightmare. - They had me, dad.

Nightmares do that. You know, sometimes, I mean...

If it didn't do that, that wouldn't be a nightmare... You know what I mean?

Daddies... daddies get the boys back, right?

Yeah...

Do you know any songs?

Do you know any Indian hunting songs?

Do you know the old buffalo hunting song?

...and cocktails for two.

That's a good boy. Go to sleep.

He was yelling, you didn't hear him, he was yelling.

- You were yelling? Where was I? - He had some bad dream, I tell you.

I had a bad dream too.

I was so sound asleep... I... I was asleep.

You were out. Like a log.

He said something was after him, some spider, huh? Like a spider from last night?

It was real, dad.

Worst dream you ever had.

It wasn't a dream.

I'm not surprised about you, Whit.

You ate your way through this... table last night.

I didn't think he could get up the stairs.

That's a good thing it was nothing. No wonder...

I pay fortune for this equipment. Some animal must have set it off.

How did you sleep?

Well...

We saw lots of lights last night.

Whitley has that machine finely tuned.

A mosquito could set it off.

No, really there were lots of lights, it was very hard to sleep.

A chipmunk couldn't set that thing off.

It's been the light from the bathroom.

No, it was light there came in from outside.

I can't believe you didn't see it, it was like day.

I thought there was a fire outside, in fact.

I came downstairs, you know... there was light... it was this light.

But then... it must...

The flood lights went on, I don't know... it was the moon maybe.

We were all dreaming, you know, and the moon...

we all got involved in the same dream.

It wasn't the moon.

So it was a dream.

This whole place was flooded with light from above.

It wasn't a dream.

So it was the moon.
