The first 200 lines.
Have you come to play with us? There are many games we can play.
My name is Henry.
And my sister there is Catherine.
Would you like to dance with us?
A green and yellow basket
I wrote a letter to my love and on the way I dropped it
I dropped it, I dropped it
And on the way I dropped it I dropped it, I dropped it...
Ring around the rosies
Pockets full of posies
Ashes, ashes
You must be Henry.
You're Grace?
Yes.
I'm sorry you didn't call me from the airport
so I could pick you up in the car.
Oh. Oh. Please.
So... when is the wedding?
Tomorrow.
Unless... you'd like to wait.
No, no. Tomorrow's fine.
You sure?
You're not sorry, are you?
If-if you want to change your mind then I can just... go.
No. No, I don't want to change my mind at all.
You're disappointed, aren't you?
I'm not what you thought I'd be, am I?
Why would you say something like that?
I'm not disappointed.
I'm very happy. Really.
I hope that you're pleased with everything.
I want you to be happy.
I mean, with your room and all.
And I really should have told you about Catherine.
You did not know I had a sister.
Oh, no. It's all right.
I mean, I'm very pleased
that you're going to be living with us, Catherine.
Well, if you two would like me to move...
No, of course not.
This is your home.
But maybe Henry and I could find another place?
This is half my house, Grace.
We-we could find something smaller.
Even a one-bedroom apartment would be fine.
This place is so large and...
Old. Very old.
Our parent's honeymooned here.
It's lovely. But
Grace.
This is going to be our home.
Now and forever.
I don't want to leave.
I need you to understand that before the wedding.
Maybe you could give us a moment?
I've never seen such a beautiful album.
I don't think there's anything of much importance
from my childhood that wasn't photographed
and mounted in one of those albums.
Why do you suppose we do that?
Do you think we were trying to hold back time
by capturing the moment with pictures?
Well, I think that
Or maybe it was our way of becoming immortal.
I think you'd like to see your room..
I hope that someday you can forget how we became engaged.
I mean, how we met and all.
What are you trying to say?
Well, I have a feeling that you don't respect me
because I had to find a husband through those computer people.
No. I mean, what about me?
I went on that website too, didn't I? To meet you?
I was wondering where the ceremony is going to...
I mean, are we going to be married here?
At the house?
No. At the Justice of the Peace.
I'd like to... have a more formal wedding,
but we don't have many friends.
To invite, that is.
In fact, we don't have many friends at all.
Oh. Well that's all right.
I understand.
The Justice of the Peace is fine.
You know something?
We haven't I mean, you haven't...
Haven't what?
Nothing.
It must have been something.
You'll think I'm silly.
Tell me.
It's just that...
you haven't... kissed me yet.
You really better unpack this.
Oh..
You look sick.
What's wrong? What's the matter?
You're shy.
Is that it?
You don't have to be bashful.
We're practically married.
Would you like me to put that on?
Is that it?
That is what it is, isn't it?
You'd love to see me in this filmy, seductive gown.
Of course you would. Well, come on.
You can help me undress.
What's wrong? What is it? What's-what's the matter?
Do you, Henry, in the presence of these witnesses,
take Grace to be your lawful wedded wife?
To have and to hold from this day forward for better,
for worse, for richer,
for poorer, in sickness and in health?
To love and to cherish 'til death do us part?
I take you, Grace, to be my lawful wedded wife.
To have and to hold from this day forward for better,
for worse, for richer,
for poorer, in sickness and in health.
To love and to cherish 'til death do us part.
I now pronounce you both man and wife.
You may kiss the bride now, Henry.
More of the same, Henry.
Right?
You're a real bitch, you know that?
Come on.
I just hate to see them all end up in your little photo album.
But you enjoy helping me, don't you?
You're great with Ring around the Rosie.
Why don't you go back in her room and fuck yourself?
That's all you're ever going to be good at.
Fuck you.
His name was Johnny Rebek
He was a dealer in sausages
And sauerkraut and speck
He made the finest sausages
that ever you would see
And one day he invented a wonderful sausage machine
You didn't tell me there were children!
Henry? Open the door!
Please, open the door!
Henry?
You're terrifying me!
It's playtime! Oh, goody!
Fell in the ditch, fell in the ditch
Silly old Gordon fell in the ditch
All on a Monday morning!
The merry-go-round goes 'round and 'round
The children laughed and laughed and laughed
So many children going 'round and 'round
Little Catherine and Little Henry
Down came the rain and washed the spider out
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain
Catherine?
Yeah?
Sometimes it depresses me...
looking forward to getting married and having to...
You know how I feel about what you're trying to do.
It's the only way I can resolve my problem.
Now I'm sure that it will help me remember what it is
that happened in my past that screwed up my ability to...
Have sex?
Hasn't exactly been successful,
has it?
Could it be that you're a little jealous?
I am thinking of your own good.
Hm. You do take very good care of me.
It's so nice to be appreciated.
I'll do better with the next girl.
Yeah.
I'm sure you will.
Sometimes I think it has to do with them.
But you could help me with that.
You could help me remember.
You could help me remember what it is that fucked me up.
I was a real estate agent
before the bottom dropped out of the housing market.
How about you?
Hey, I just thought of something...
Bye.
Hm.
Catherine?
I have a really good vibe about this new one.
After all this time,
I finally think I found the one that will make it happen.
Genine, right?
Nice to meet you, Henry.
Harold's already waiting over at the house.
I thought it'd be a nicer atmosphere to discuss business
over a glass of wine.
Oh. My car?
Oh. Um... don't worry about it.
I'll bring you back after the meeting. Please.
I've never been to Bedford before.
You never answered that question I asked you about what you do.
Psychology instructor.
That's great. Where?
Dark secret?
What? Where do you teach?
Your new job is a more interesting topic.
Have you lived here long?
All my life.
