There is an asian woman, talking into the camera, telling the viewer that 'I have a friend. She is in a darkened room' She has a bad accent, and its too funny to be surreal and scary in the Lynch sense. The film would be much better without her. However, the rest of the short is actually pretty good. There is a blonde girl, looking into the camera and crying out for help. You feel that you are her only key. Realizing you wont come, she then cries for anybody. She says 'Come Out'. A brunette walks through her door, and talks to her in a threatening way. What is she saying? Who the hell knows. Just things like 'You know that this is all your fault right? You know that don't you. The watches didn't even work', but eventually it gets good when she says 'You know theres nothing you can do about this thing thats happening to you. And even if you could, it's a little late dont you think?' It ends with her giving some kind of proposition or last resort and saying 'Interested?' I think basically, it's supposed to be somebody's dream. She does say something somewhere along the line like 'What if I told you this isn't a dream? That this was really happening to you.' After the last line of dialogue, we stare at the blonde protagonist (possibly) for about 10-15 seconds, and zoom into her eye before the fade to black. Don't know if it sounds good, but it is. Nothing spectacular, but I'm suprised Lynch fans on this page are so critical of it.
The music, which is very subtle, is incredibly surreal and amazing. Hope that helps..
