Ben

I saw you in town yesterday. You were going into Walgreens.

Oh, yeah?

Ben

Yeah. I called out your name. You didn't even blink.

Maybe I didn't hear you.

Ben

Your name isn't Sara Waters, is it?

Maybe I didn't hear you.

Ben

No, you heard me. Look, I know this is crazy. I hardly know you really, but...I like you. I do. I just...I don't know how to feel what I'm feeling when I don't even know your name.

People never really know each other, Ben.

Ben

It doesn't have to be that way. Give it a chance.

I can't. I'm sorry.

Ben

What are you afraid of?

What is it with men?

Ben

Don't do that. Look, I gotta know. We're either honest with each other or it doesn't happen. It just stops right here.

It never started.

Hello, princess. It's wonderful to see ya...alive. That's the first touch after so long apart. Have you been thinking of it too?

Ben
[from outside]

Sara? Are you there?

No...

I'll kill him.

Ben

Can you hear me?

Just a second.

Ben
[through the screened door]

Hi.

Hi.

Ben

It's tomorrow. 12:01. I couldn't wait.

Ben, I'm just so tired.

Ben

Still spooked by ghosts, huh?

They're all around me.

Ben

How about I come in?

It's really not a good time, OK?

He doesn't matter. He's nothing, Laura. Nothing.

Ben

**** you.

What's his name?

Ben. Martin, he...

He doesn't have anything to do with us, does he, princess? Does he?

No.

Remember our honeymoon. The night I taught you to dance. Of course you haven't forgotten. You said those were the happiest days of your whole life. [holds up her wedding ring] Remember this? This is yours, Laura. We are one. We will always be one. Nothing can keep us apart.
