And do you, Julianne,
take this man to be your lawful husband,
to have and to hold from this day forward,
for better, for worse,
for richer, for poorer,
in sickness and health,
until death do you part?
I do.
Mitch, repeat after me.
With this ring, I thee wed.
You have exchanged rings. You have exchanged vows.
And so, by the power vested in me
by this great state,
before god and these witnesses,
I now pronounce you man and wife.
First of all, thank you to Julianne's mother Kate
and her husband Charlie for throwing this great party.
And I'd like to thank my dad,
and I'd like to thank my dad,
who couldn't be here... Today.
He always said that if I were to tie the knot
with a woman that I hadn't been dating for at least a year,
he'd throw me in the cellar,
and I think in this case he would make
a very big exception.
And I'd like to thank my truck...
For not working most of the time
and making me take the bus
that night that I met Julianne.
And finally, I'd like to thank my wife
for locking up my heart and throwing away thkey.
For locking up my heart and throwing away thkey.
Cheers.
Oh, are you sure you want to do this?
Yes, mother, I'm sure.
Ok. So be careful.
I want you to come back safe and sound
for my birthday party.
I will see you in 2 weeks.
All right, darling.
Bye. Bye-bye.
Whoo!
Get me the fuck out of here.
Yes, ma'am.

Whoo!
Free at last!
Hey, Mitch?
2 weeks, all to ourselves.
We did it.
We can do whatever we want out here.
So, how'd you find this place?
It was a hunting trip with my dad,
about a year ago.
And there's no running water?
Nope.
No television?
Nope.
No electricity,
Internet access, telephone?
We can stay longer if you want to.
How'd I let you talk me into this place?
"Oh, Mitch, take me on an adventure.
"I--I've got to get away
from all this country club b.S."
Shut up! I do not sound like that.
"Mitch, I love your adventurous spirit."
All right, fine.
2 weeks is more than enough for me, though.
Or maybe 3. We could do 3.
2 weeks.
But I thought you--
There was a glimmer in your eye--
Mitch, 2 weeks!
When I said 3, you perked up.
There it is.
All aboard.
Are you sure that thing's safe?
This boat? Come on.
She's a tank.
Comes on, Jules.
I would never let anything happen to you.
You know that.
Heh.
My dad used to bring us to a place like this
when we were kids.
No matter where we moved, he'd always bring us
right back to the woods.
My brothers and me would spend hours
pretending we were on a chain gang.
It was countless hours of fun.
I'd get lost in a second.
Ah, that was the fun part.
You're crazy.
I gotta call my mom.
She's probably having a nervous breakdown by now.
All right.
What's the matter, babe?
You said you checked
to see if there was service here, right?
Yeah, and the guy said it would work.
It's not working.
Hmm. You wanna go back?
No. You said it was an adventure, right?
Right.
But won't your mom kind of... Freak out?
Yep.
What are those?
Oh, that's an old tradition.
Hunters use hash marks
to count out the nights that they've been here,
how many animals they got. Stuff like that.
"We were here, got some deer.
Back next year. S.R. And j.R. '82."
Poetic.
I could fix this place up a bit.
You don't like it here?
No, I love it.
It's... Rustic.
Keep up the tradition.
Very nice.
I'm gonna go get stuff out of the truck
before it gets dark, OK?
Ow!
Mitch, I hurt myself.
Babe, you OK?
I stubbed my toe.
Is that better?
No.
How about now?
No? Not good enough?
Come here.
I want to spend the rest of my life with you.
Like clockwork.
Good morning, sleepyhead.
Hi.
You know, today is our 2-day anniversary.
How do you want to celebrate?
Let's order room service.
Ooh, that sounds good.
I'll call the front desk.
Hey, babe, is that leaking down there?
Yep.
What about now?
Yep!
What about now, babe?
Yep.
Mitch...
Yeah?
Are you actually trying to fix the roof
or just make more holes in it?
That's... Pretty funny, huh?
Aah!
Tell me a campfire story.
I don't know, babe. All the campfire stories I know
are a little scary.
Come on. I'm tougher than you think.
What do you think about the name Jack?
Jack?
Yeah.
Yeah, or Hugh, maybe.
Little huey.
Come on. You know we talked about this.
I want to someday, just not now.
I know, but I was just thinking about someday.
I don't know. I guess it's just, like,
this is the first time
I've ever even been on my own.
Don't you think I should at least finish classes?
Yeah.
My little Picasso. Heh.
I hope our kids get your creative genes.
I-- Mitch!
I do. You've got something really special, babe.
Really.
In a parallel universe,
I'm still at school, making my mom proud,
learning how to spay little kittens,
plus, I'd still be with Anthony.
Heh. Mr. trust fund.
Hey, Mr. jealous, I meant it as a compliment.
Well, he could certainly never take you to a place like this.
And that's why you owe me the full camping experience.
So now please tell me a campfire story.
Ok.
How about the one
where a couple goes on their honeymoon
way out in the woods,
and they sit and roast marshmallows
and get terrorized by the local maniac.
Ooh, I don't like that story.
Heh heh heh.
Tell me the story about...
The prince...
Who rescues his damsel in distress,
and they live happily ever after.
Why don't you come in?
The water looks cold.
It looks co...
You know what?
I think it's time for you to get wet.
No, Mitch! I don't want to go in the water!
You can run, but you can't hide.
Go away, Mitch! I'm serious.
The water's not that bad.
I don't--Mitch, no. I don't want to go in, Mitch.
It's fine, once you get used to it.
Mitch, I don't want to go in.
Mitch, please, I--
Mitch, I really don't want to go in the water, Mitch!
Mitch, please!
Oh, what's the matter?
I just-- I put on my makeup,
and it's gonna get all messed up.
Ok, well, why don't we just--
Why don't I just set you on the raft?
There we go.
Don't worry, honey. You won't get wet.
I anchored the raft to a rock, baby.
It won't float away. I promise.
Just relax.
Aah!
Mitch!
Mitch, help!
Aah!
Come on. I got you.
Don't you ever leave me like that!
Damn you, Mitch!
What are you mad at me for?
I--i didn't know the raft was gonna sink.
I can't swim.
You never learned how to... Swim?
I'm afraid of the water.
Julianne, why would you let me bring you here?
Because I thought that maybe if I was with you
that I would get over it.
I didn't think that you were just gonna leave me like that.
Well, why didn't you just tell me?
I don't know.
I'm sorry. Ok?
That's OK.
I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
You always fall asleep afterwards.
I'm sorry, babe. I don't mean to.
Mitch...
Yeah, baby?
Would you still love me if I died my hair black?
Yes, I would.
What if I shaved my head?
Yes, I would still love you,
but I like your hair a lot.
What if I got fat?
Baby, you thinking about changing your hair?
Is that what this is about?
I like it the way it is, but if you want to change it,
that's fine.
Forget it.
I love the way your cheeks smell.
God, I wish I could just bottle it up
and take it with me wherever I went.
Then I could open it up and have you right next to me,
then I could open it up and have you right next to me,
no matter where you are.
Mwah! Hi, baby. Hey, babe.
Can I try?
Yeah. Sure.
Here.
Now you got to grip it here,
then you take the line and hold it up.
Now with this hand, you flip over the bail.
Now, when you go to cast it out,
let go with your index finger.
Not bad. Heh. Not bad at all.
Now reel it in quick. The lure will sink.
There you go.
I notice that you have, um, a safe box inside.
Yeah.
Why do you have it?
Just for security.
Security from who?
We're in the middle of nowhere.
You never know, Jules.
What's in it?
Car keys, stuff like that.
It's not a big deal, Jules.
Ok? It's nothing.
I didn't say it was a big deal.
I was just asking.
Well, stop asking, OK?
I didn't bother you about all that makeup
that you trucked in here.
I mean, Jesus, who the hell do you have
to look good for out here anyway?
Hey, Jules, will you come out here for a second?
I want to show you something.
You made me an easel.
So you can work. You know?
Do your painting.
I'm sorry, Julianne.
So, you still-- You still love me?
You know, I was thinking.
Maybe we could take a trip--
Into town today, you know?
Buy a newspaper, eat at a restaurant,
maybe call my family.
I thought you wanted an adventure.
I do, but, I mean, don't you want to see
what's going on in the world, you know?
What's going on in the world, you know?
Anything?
This looks pretty good.
Anyway, my mom's probably freaking out,
so I should really call her.
That's over an hour away, Julianne.
I know, but what's an hour out here?
I mean, time practically stands still.
There we go. That ought to do it.
And what happens to the poor little animal?
Ah.
You know, most of the time,
you know, most of the time,
the smaller animals
don't even survive the impact.
Julianne?
Julianne!
You OK?
Yeah. I'm fine,
but you've got to be more careful out here.
Ow, baby, you're hurting my wrist.
Don't you think we should
start thinking about heading back soon?
What?
Well, it's been 10 days, and I was just thinking--
We said we'd be here 2 weeks.
I know... And it's been wonderful.
It's just that, you know,
I'm really excited about going home
and starting our lives together.
Start our lives together?
Julianne, this is our lives together.
It's just that...
I've never gone more than a couple of days
without talking to my mom.
Well, it's not like she's going anywhere.
I--i mean, look around you, Julianne.
Everything here...
This is us. This-- This is our lives together.
This is where we need to start,
where it's just you and me.
I want to go home, Mitch.
I get this whole nature and earth and woods thing.
I do, but I want to go home.
Let's go.
No.
What do you mean no?
I mean no, Julianne. No.
Are you not listening to me? I said I want to go home.
This is our honeymoon.
We can't just quit before it's over.
So I figure, if we leave now, we could probably--
Julianne.
And I don't really think we're gonna hit the--
Julianne, we're not leaving!
What is your problem?!
What is my problem?!
When we both decide that it's time to leave,
that is when we will leave!
You're in a bad mood right now,
and that's fine.
It's gonna pass.
But don't fuck up our whole honeymoon
because you miss your goddamn mother.
Fuck you! You were the one
who said the cell phone would work up here.
I told you already
that the fuckin' guy on the phone
told me that it was gonna work!
What the fuck was I supposed to do, Julianne?
Drive up here and test it myself?
Yeah, maybe you should have.
Would that have made you happy, Princess?
This place has done something to you, Mitch.
You've never acted like this before.
What's going on?
You know what? I'll tell you what's going on, Julianne.
I am your husband now, and you are my wife!
I'm not some flunky boyfriend
that you can just kick around
as you see fit,
and if I don't leave, then you don't leave!
I'm going to check my traps.
Uhh! Uhh!
Unh!
Yah!
Fuck!
Aah! Fuck!
Uhh! Ooh!
Uhh!
Ahh.
Julianne...
I'm sorry I yelled at you. I--
I should have never yelled at you like that.
It'll never happen again. I promise.
Ok?
If you just knew how much I loved you.
Hey, Jules, wake up. You gotta see this.
There's the craziest bird.
He keeps flying around in circles,
and he just landed on the edge of the island.
I've never seen a bird act so crazy.
Mitch...
Yeah?
Have you seen my second case of pills?
What pills, babe?
My--you know, the pill.
No. Should I have?
Tell me honestly, Mitch. Did you take them?
Why would I take your pills?
Ah!
God-fucking-damn it!
Whoa, whoa, baby. Take it easy.
Don't tell me what to do!
What the fuck is goin' on with you lately?
Mitch, we have to leave.
You know what?
I thought we already worked that out.
What the hell did we work out, Mitch,
that I have to stay here till you say so?
No. We said we'd be here 2 weeks.
And I'm out of pills.
So?
What does that mean?
Do you not know what the pill is?
Yes, Julianne, I know what the pill is,
but I don't know why
you're makin' such a big deal out of it.
What's the worst that's gonna happen?
I could get pregnant, Mitch.
What part of this don't you understand?
Well, we're married now, Julianne.
We can afford to take chances like that,
can't we?
Can't we?
I mean, we both said
that we wanted to have a family someday.
Someday. Mitch, I said I want to have kids
with you someday, not now.
You can't go around
planning out every moment of your life.
Sometimes things just have to happen.
What is that, a fortune cookie?
No, but if we were following your plans,
Julianne, we'd be at home right now,
doing the same shit
that we do every goddamn day,
and if we followed your mother's plans,
you'd probably be a veterinarian right now
and we wouldn't even be married,
but what about my plans?
When are we gonna start to follow my plans?
What are you talkin' about?
Why can't you understand me when I'm talking to you?
I do understand.
You're a very smart girl,
and I'm speaking very simple English,
am I not?
Maybe if you stop
fucking telling me what to do all the time
and actually listened to what I'm saying.
I'm listening. You're my wife,
and I can't even count on you to understand me?
How can I trust you to ever listen to me?
Ok, I'm listening.
Good, because we are not leaving.
How was the water?
You OK?
Yeah. I'm just gonna go to bed.
Hey, what do you say you and me,
we try some more fishin' tomorrow?
Whatever.
Then I can show you my--
Show you my special move.
How am I doing?
You're a natural.
But be careful out there.
You're not wearin' a life preserver.
I'll be OK.
What are you doing?
Shit. Damn it.
What are those?
Just give it back.
This is mine.
Where'd you get this?
The evergreen?
That's where me and Anthony used to go.
I know.
That night we met at the bus stop...
You were there...
You followed me.
You were never even waiting
for the bus at all, were you?
What did you do after I got off,
what did you do after I got off,
catch another bus on the way back?
You did, didn't you?
Well, what was I supposed to do?
Was I supposed to just walk up to you and say,
"hey, I've been following you. How about a cocktail?"
Yeah. At least it would have been the truth.
You're a pretty girl, Julianne.
You stick out in a crowd.
It's not a crime to notice you.
Sure, I'd seen you there once or twice.
So, Mitch...
How long have you been stalking me?
Stalking you?
Jesus Christ.
What else you got in there?
Mitch, listen to me.
It's been 14 days.
I'm leaving. Give me the keys.
Look, I'm sorry. I'm very sorry, Julianne.
I didn't mean to leave you on the island alone.
I know how much you hate to be alone.
I just--i needed to blow off some steam,
get out of here for a little while.
It's not because you left me alone.
Look, we can work this out. We can.
No.
How can we make a marriage work
if we can't make 2 weeks work?
I don't know.
Maybe things will get better when we get back.
Why would things get any better,
because you have more excuses to get away from me?
Excuses to get away from you?
Yeah. You're always goin' out with your friends.
I never know where the hell you are--
My friends are not excuses
to get away from you.
They're my friends.
They're country club snobs, and you know that.
You are so insecure.
You better shut up, Julianne.
You better fucking shut up.
What's your problem, Mitch?
Are you afraid that I'm just gonna walk
are you afraid that I'm just gonna walk
in some garden party
and meet someone smarter than you?
Shut up, Julianne.
They'll certainly be richer than you.
Better shut-- Better than you.
Julianne!
Don't fuckin' push me!
You're just a little spoiled brat
that's been pampered her whole life,
and now you want to run back home to mommy, huh?
You said you wanted to escape all that.
You said you wanted to do something different.
Well, do it. I am doing it.
Bullshit! You've never done anything on your own
in your entire life!
You've always had your mother
lookin' over your shoulder.
And you know what? You're just like her.
Everything is always about you.
I'm surprised your real father
made it as long as he did.
And yours is any better?
Why wasn't he at our wedding, Mitch, huh?
Are you just ashamed of me,
or maybe you're just ashamed of him.
Jules, don't you go turnin' this around on--
And don't call me Jules! Why not?
Because Anthony used to. That's why.
Fuck him!
I did, plenty of times,
and he didn't fall asleep afterwards.
You know what? I will fucking kill you.
Mitch, just give me the keys.
Don't you fucking ever, ever touch that key--
Ah!
No.
Julianne!
Come on, please.
Hello?
Mom? Hello?
No.
No, no, please.
Fucking battery!
Julianne.
Julianne, the sun's gonna set soon.
Julianne, baby, I'm sorry I got mad at you,
and it won't happen again.
But you don't want to be out here
when the sun goes down, baby.
You don't.
Julianne.
Julianne, can you hear me?
There you are.
Thank god you found me.
I'm sorry.
Julianne, I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry, too. I just got so scared.
I will never lose my temper
like that again, I swear.
Just don't leave me, OK? Don't run away.
Let's go home.
Ah! Good morning.
Where's the boat?
What's that, babe?
Where's the boat, Mitch?
Don't know.
It must've sank.
Don't worry about it, though, Jules.
I can still swim.
Yes.
Yes!
Come on. Come on.
Yes. Yes.
Any luck, babe?
No, not yet.
Well, if you want to catch anything,
you just let me know, all right?
I'm goin' out for a little while.
Where are you goin'?
I got stuff I gotta do.
Mitch?
Nothing.
You sure you want to do this?
Like clockwork.
Oh, come on.
Goddamn it, come on!
Fuck.
Come on. Come on.
Come on, please.
Eh!
Fuck.
Ah!
Don't do anything stupid, Julianne.
Why doesn't the fucking car work?
Fix it.
Fix the fucking car!
Mitch?
Mitch!
Oh, no.
Mitch!
I knew you'd try to run, Julianne.
You been actin' crazy lately, Jules.
Really crazy.
I mean, how many times am I gonna have to save you?
Hmm?
You wanna drown?
Is that what you want, baby? Do you wanna drown?
Well, I'm assuming that you saw the deed to the house.
So I'm guessing that you know who that is
buried in the woods.
Well, you always wanted to meet my father.
He's right over there...
Where we could be close to him.
He loved this place.
You would've liked him a lot, Julianne.
He looked a lot like me.
It was just an accident.
You know?
I mean, hunting accidents happen all the time.
He was always bugging me
about finding the right girl
and starting a family.
He said, "Mitch,
"you're not a real man
unless you have a family of your own."
I think he would've been real proud of us.
And you have no idea how hard it is
to make a dead man proud.
I was hopin' that you would've got to like it here...
A little bit better before I told you,
a little bit better before I told you,
but since you saw the deed,
I guess you know that the house is mine.
And since we're married,
that means that you have part of it, too.
Doesn't that make you happy?
Isn't that better than living in some house
that your stepfather bought for us?
We have each other,
and we have food,
and we have water, and we have shelter,
and we have beautiful fucking views.
What more could anyone ask for? Huh?
And you're still trying to run away from it.
I don't understand you, Julianne.
I just...
I just need to protect you.
I just need to protect you from yourself.
Just for a little while until you get better.
And you know what, Julianne, this place...
Is a fucking mess.
If your mother saw this place...
I mean, what the fuck?!
What the fuck?!
You would never let your fucking stepfather's place
look like this! Huh?
And you know what, Julianne?
You know what?
I bet you think that I'm punishing you, don't you?
Is that what you think?
You think I'm punishing you? I'm not at all.
I'm showing you, Julianne. I'm showing you. Look.
Stuff like this?
Look at this.
Fuckin' 12.95
for a tube of paint this fucking big!
For a tube of paint this fucking big!
Huh? Why do you need expensive things
to make you happy?
Julianne.
Come here.
God, you are so beautiful.
Ohh!
Fucking clean this up.
Oh, hi, sweetie.
I'm just makin' a little dinner.
I mean, it's nothing much.
It's just some leftovers
thrown together, you know,
'cause I couldn't make it
to the store today.
Oh, I guess I just shouldn't complain.
I don't wanna be the old...
Ball and chain.
Anyway...
How 'bout you?
How are you doing?
Huh?
I just wanna get a match.
Jesus Christ, Julianne.
Thanks.
Look, I'm worried about you, Julianne.
I mean, this setup is only temporary,
you know that, right?
I mean, when you stop trying to jump into the water--
And how the fuck will you know when that is, Mitch?
I am chained to a goddamn tree!
I can't even go in the water.
I don't know, Julianne,
but maybe when you're not in such a bad mood.
I know that I hold on to you too tight...
Jules. I...
I know I do, and I see myself do it,
and I hate it, but I can't stop it.
And I hate it, but I can't stop it.
I'm nothing without you.
And I didn't want things to be this way,
not at all,
but they're gonna get better.
They are.
Really soon, Julianne.
I promise.
Today is my mom's birthday.
I was supposed to go back for her party, remember?
You know...
Eventually someone's gonna come out here
looking for us...
And when they do,
what are you gonna tell 'em?
Huh?
Does your family know where we are?
And not that many people come around this way, Julianne,
so I think you should probably just get used to it.
And I bet ya ya knew that, didn't ya?
You knew that they wouldn't come out here to find us,
'cause they didn't know where we are.
I bet ya,
you knew that that cell phone
wouldn't work, too, huh?
And did you know I couldn't swim?
Did you know that I was scared of the water?
Did you, Mitch?
Because I think you did.
I think you knew all those things.
Think whatever you wanna think, Julianne.
Just tell me something, Mitch.
Has there ever...
Been one thing...
That you told me...
That hasn't been a lie?
I love you.
And I always will, Julianne.
That was never a lie.
Mitch...
You have to let me go.
Loving me doesn't mean...
Just loving the way I make you feel.
My whole life,
I've had guys like me
for the way I looked.
They never understood me.
They never even made the effort
to find out...
Until you.
I thought you were different.
I thought you were better than them.
You think you love me,
but you don't.
Mitch, please,
please let me go!
Mitch, please!
No.
No!
You walked down that aisle...
And you said those words.
You said for richer or for poorer,
you said for richer or for poorer,
in sickness and in health.
You chose those words, Julianne.
And when things go bad, you don't just walk away.
You stick it out.
But I--i didn't know that you--
What about our family?
What about all the kids
that you wanna have, Julianne?
We could raise them right here.
I mean, don't you see how much better that is?
We could spare them from all the cruel things...
But we gotta stop fighting,
because I'm telling you,
you don't wanna bring a child
into this kind of environment.
Into this kind of environment.
Julianne.
Nobody's loved you like I love you!
Julianne.
Go away.
Go away...
Mitch!
What?
I was trying to light the stove and--
And the matches--
What the fuck did you do?
I'm sorry. I was trying to light the stove and--
Don't we have any more matches?
No, we don't have any more fucking matches!
I'm sorry.
What the fuck are we supposed to do now?
Huh? What are we supposed to cook with?
I don't know.
Well, that's really fuckin' smart, Julianne.
Now I've gotta go all the way to fucking town
to get--
You know what?
Fuck that.
I'm not going anywhere.
Ok.
Don't go anywhere.
Ok.
That was fast.
I just lit a cigarette off the car lighter.
If we keep one going,
we don't need matches, right?
Ok.
I'll make dinner if you start a fire.
Whatever.
What?
Oh, by the way, the truck broke down.
Mitch!
Wait!
The truck broke down?
Yeah.
Don't worry about it.
We'll be fine without it.
But what if something happens to one of us?
Nothing's gonna happen.
I'm just saying if, Mitch.
I mean, I know you could survive without me, but...
What if something happens to you?
Nothing's gonna happen.
Could we walk?
I don't know. I don't think so.
My cigarette's almost out. I'm gonna start a fire.
Wait.
I'll build the fire.
You could go light another cigarette.
You got off the island, didn't you?
How'd you do it?
I didn't, Mitch, I swear.
How'd you do it?!
Uhh!
You think you're smarter than me? Huh?!
Is that what you think?
Well, figure this one out.
You are never getting off of this island!
Uhh!
You fuckin' bastard! I hate you!
Don't you fuckin' say that!
Aah!
I'm gonna kill you!
Aah!
Uhh! Uhh!
Unh!
Ohh! Oh!
Uhh.
Do it.
Do it, Julie.
Set yourself right, Mitch.
I can't.
You'll never make it alone!
Good-bye, Mitch.
