INT. CABIN. JOSEPHINE MOTOR LODGE. NIGHT.
Twin beds, quilted headboards, the usual. Radio tuned into Guy Lombardo’s New Year’s Eve broadcast from the Waldorf Astoria. It’s almost midnight. A couple of chipped plastic trays carrying the remnants of some ham and cheese sandwiches are set on one of the beds. CAROL sits sipping beer from a Champagne flute, her hair wrapped in a towel. Each dressed in robes, CAROL watches THERESE brush out her hair at a dressing table. The countdown to the New Year begins on the radio. Five. Four. Three. Two. One: HAPPY NEW YEAR! And the familiar Lombardo signature “Auld Lang Syne” begins, but neither woman takes notice. Instead CAROL gets up from the bed, takes the brush from THERESE and begins to brush THERESE’S hair, slowly, carefully. When she’s done, she puts the brush down and turns THERESE around to face her.
CAROL
Happy New Year.
THERESE
Happy New Year.
They face each other in silence, listening to the faraway radio broadcast - a moment when anything could happen.

THERESE, for the first time, reaches out ever so slightly to brush her fingers against CAROL’S. CAROL looks down at their fingertips touching.
CAROL
Harge and I never spend New Year’s Eve together. There’s always a business function, always clients to entertain.
THERESE
I’ve always spent it alone. In crowds. (beat) I’m not alone this year.
THERESE squeezes CAROL’S hand ever so slightly. The Guy Lombardo band strikes up a bright New Year’s tune.
CAROL unties her robe and lets it fall open, revealing her nakedness to THERESE. It’s so still, it’s as if all breath in the room were suspended. THERESE stands up to join her, and CAROL takes her face gently in both her hands. She kisses THERESE’S lips. It’s a wondrous kiss for them both, slow and unhurried. Afterwards, CAROL removes her hands from THERESE’S face and eases off the towel from her head.
CAROL
THERESE
CAROL
For everything that might happen. Later.
THERESE
(after a moment)
Take me to bed.
CAROL moves towards THERESE, takes her in her arms, leads her to the bed.
CAROL
THERESE does. CAROL lets her own robe drop to the floor then opens THERESE’s robe on the bed, taking in her youthful beauty.
CAROL (CONT’D) I never looked like that.
She climbs onto the bed and straddles THERESE. She strokes her face, her hair. THERESE closes her eyes, but begins to tremble involuntarily.
I’m sorry.
For what?
Lie down.
87

CAROL (CONT’D) You’re trembling.
CAROL leans down to kiss her lightly on the forehead, then reaches across the bed to shut off the light. THERESE stops her.
THERESE
Don’t. I want to see you.
CAROL nods, then slides down THERESE’S body and stops just below THERESE’S navel. She kisses her belly, moves down THERESE’S body with her mouth. THERESE looks up at the ceiling, trying to quell her body’s shuddering of nerves. She closes her eyes. CAROL slides up THERESE’S body and plays with one of THERESE’S nipples with the tip of her tongue. THERESE moans softly. She pulls CAROL up to her mouth and they kiss eagerly, passionately. THERESE opens her eyes and regards CAROL’S face, so close to hers, and smiles.
CAROL
(a whisper)
My angel. Flung out of space.
They begin to make love for the very first time.
FADE TO BLACK
