Girl From Nowhere

Can you believe this?

- Give her a ride. - No.

- Why not? - It's dangerous.

She might be psycho.

Is she alone?

I mean, who does that?

Just stop.

She looks all right to me.

- Great, and you'll be perving her the whole trip?

No thanks.

She's just a girl.

She's no match for a woman like you.

Thanks.

Next time, sweetheart.

What a rip-off. - Well, you'll survive.

I need a break, don't I?

We both do.

Careful, put those on the floor.

Your turn, Prince Charming.

Yes, your majesty.

That girl.

- Let's stop. - No.

- That's not very motherly of you, Kat.

Okay, stop.

Hi, sweetie, where you going?

This way, still.

- We can give you a ride to the next turn-off.

Hugh? - Of course.

Come.

Wait.

I have a delicate package.

There.

I'm Katherine.

And Hugh.

- Hey. - Hi.

What's your name, sweetie?

Liza.

Okay.

Where you from?

I'm from an alien planet.

I'm waiting for the rest of my people to join me.

I'm from nowhere.

- Kat. - What?

- She's tired, she's been on the road all morning.

It's been a blast.

Well nowhere girl, we're from Cape Town,

escaping to our weekend hideaway.

You must be rich.

This is her car, she is rich.

Aren't you babe.

Yes, Hugh, some producers do make money.

A producer.

I make films.

Like what?

Little films, TV commercials.

Oh.

And Hugh over here is an actor.

- Love is forever or until your wife cheats on you,

then dial 0-800-Divorce, for better, not worse.

He's done a couple of ads.

But we're working on a movie project.

He's going to be the star.

I could be an actress.

Everyone said so.

Even my friend Bubi,

he said I could be the best fucking actress in the world.

Booby?

What kind of name is Bubi?

So do you make money, Hugh?

And I've often wondered,

as an actor how does one know when you're acting

and when you're for real?

Oh, he's not that good.

Hey!

What I mean is, I know him so well.

How old are you?

How old are you?

You shouldn't hitchhike, at any age.

And you shouldn't pick up strangers.

I've seen it a thousand times.

Boy trouble.

You think?

Trust me.

Liza?

Mm?

We're at the turn-off.

Oh, good.

I can't believe we're dumping you here.

I'll be fine on my own.

Grab an apple.

It's in the bag.

Cool.

Mm.

- God you're starved, when last you eat sweetie?

Kathrine, let's leave her here.

Hungry.

And alone.

I know what.

Come back to my place for lunch.

It's close by, and then we can bring her back.

Or the local caretaker.

- A sweetheart, I believe he's coming back this way

in a couple of hours.

I don't need your help.

Look, I insist.

I have this amazing little house in the mountains

with a little plunge pool.

Come, see it, eat, cool off.

Look, I don't know what you're running from,

and I don't care.

It's your business.

Just come have something to eat

and then you can be on your way.

Or I feel like I've failed in my duty as a future mother.

Please?

Okay.

Everyone okay?

Hanging on?

Whoa!

Wimpie?

Wimpie?

Wimpie!

- Christ, I hope he's emptied the bins.

Says he had to take his mother

to the clinic all the way in Rietvlei.

I'm sure he'll be back on Monday.

Yeah, but what about the girl now?

It's fine, I'll take her back

to the road after lunch.

Are you sure?

Yeah, no problem.

Oh, that's very kind of you.

Hey, we're here, we made it.

We so need this.

Now where's our crazy guest?

Liza?

What do you think?

Lovely.

- Surrounded by nothing except mountains and veld.

Nice.

Will you unpack?

I don't want our things baking in the car.

Sure.

Thanks, babe.

You like it?

- I do. - Come.

I'll show you inside.

This little house was once in a magazine.

I got it at a bargain price.

I want it to be modern, but rustic.

Eco-living.

Christ it's dusty.

Cute.

Oh sweetie, that's just decoration.

Classic, but with a minimal look and feel.

It must have cost you a lot.

I've fought my way up.

Done things you couldn't imagine.

But if you sacrifice enough you can have it all.

A car, a house or two, and--

A husband like him.

- (laughs) Depending what sins you've committed,

Hugh's, Hugh!

Careful, babe.
