Rosemary's Baby - Tension in a Domestic Setting
Mrs. Gilmore:
Rosemary! Go back to bed. You know you're not supposed to be up and around.
Japanese man:
Is that the mother?
Roman:
Rosemary -
Rosemary:
Shut up.
Roman:
Rosemary -
Rosemary: [She slowly walks over to the cradle, sees her child in the bassinet - her eyes widen in terror]
Shut up! You're in Dubrovnik. I don't hear you. What have you done to it? What have you done to its eyes?
Roman:
He has his father's eyes.
Rosemary:
What are you talking about?! Guy's eyes are normal! What have you done to him? You maniacs!
Roman: [[Satan; Coven members cheer 'Hail, Satan!']
] is his father, not Guy. He came up from hell and begat a son of mortal woman. Satan is his father and his name is Adrian. He shall overthrow the mighty and lay waste their temples. He shall redeem the despised and wreak vengeance in the name of the burned and the tortured. Hail, Adrian! Hail, Satan! Hail, Satan!
Minnie:
He chose you out of all the world - out of all the women in the whole world, he chose you. He arranged things, because he wanted you to be the mother of his only living son.
Roman:
His power is stronger than stronger! His might shall last longer than longer.
Japanese man:
Hail, Satan!
Rosemary:
No! It can't be! No!
Minnie:
Go look at his hands.
Laura-Louise:
And his feet.
Rosemary: [realizes in horror as flashbacks of red eyes looking at her appear from dreamscape; drops knife]
Oh, God!
Roman:
God is dead! Satan lives! The year is One, the year is One! God is dead! Why don't you help us out, Rosemary? Be a real mother to Adrian. You don't have to join if you don't want to. Just be a mother to your baby. Minnie and Laura-Louise are too old. It's not right. Think about it, Rosemary.
Rosemary:
Oh, God!
Laura-Louise:
Aw, shut up with your Oh, Gods or we'll kill ya - milk or no milk!
Mrs. Gilmore:
You shut up. Rosemary's his mother, so you show some respect.
Roman: [to Argyron Stavropolous, one of the guests who has just arrived]
Come my friend. Come see him. Come see the child.
Guy: [She spits in his face.]
They promised me you wouldn't be hurt and you haven't been...really. I mean, supposing you had the baby and you lost it? Wouldn't that be the same? And we're getting so much in return, Ro.
Roman:
Oh, Guy, let me introduce you to Argyron Stavropolous.
Argyron:
How proud you must be. Is this the mother?
Minnie: [She gives Rosemary a cup and saucer.]
Here, drink this. You'll feel a little better.
Rosemary:
What's in it, tannis root?
Minnie:
Nothing's in it, just plain ordinary Lipton's tea. You drink it.
Laurie-Louise: [To Rosemary]
Get away from here! Roman!
Rosemary:
You're rocking him too fast.
Laurie-Louise: [To Roman]
Sit down. Get her out of here. Put her where she belongs.
Rosemary:
You're rocking him too fast. That's why he's crying.
Laura-Louise:
Oh, mind your own business.
Roman:
Let Rosemary rock him. Go on, sit down with the others. Let Rosemary rock him.
Laura-Louise:
Well, she's liable to -
Roman: [To Rosemary]
Sit down with the others, Laura-Louise. Rock him.
Rosemary:
Are you trying to get me to be his mother?
Roman:
Aren't you his mother?
