Jim. Hmm?

It's closing. It's time to go home.

Mm -hmm.

What are you looking at?

Those ads in the back of the paper?

Yeah, sure.

Hey. Hey.

What are you doing this weekend?

I don't know. Maybe see a movie or something.

You know, I was kind of thinking I'd like to see that movie Fade to Black.

Have you seen it?

No. I heard it's really good.

Yeah, I heard that too.

Well, anyway, I'll see you later.

Okay. Bye. Bye.

Can I help you?

Yeah, I'd like a massage.

We have a half hour for $20. We have a Swedish fingertip massage for $40. We

have a special vibrator treatment for $65.

We have our deluxe special, which is $80, which includes body shampoo and

jacuzzi baths. And you get all that plus two girls for $150.

What would you like?

Sorry,

can you go over that again?

Okay, we have a half an hour for $20, and that includes a sauna and shower.

And for $40, we have a full hour, and that includes a shower and a sauna.

I'm sorry, is that the same as the half hour?

Well, yes, except it lasts longer.

Okay. Anyway.

We have, for $65, we have a special vibrator massage. And for $80, it

body shampoo, special vibrator massage, and a jacuzzi. And then you can have all

that plus two girls for $150.

I think I'll take the special.

The $150 plus two girls?

No, the one hour, just the regular.

One hour Swedish massage. Yeah.

Would you like the special vibrator treatment with that? It's only $25

It's really nice.

Sure. Okay, I'm sure you'll like it.

So do you have any heart disease,

high blood pressure, respiratory problems?

No.

Okay.

So that'll be $65 cash or charge?

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

I guess it's your first time here? Yeah.

And what'd you hear about it?

I sell your ad in a free price.

Free price?

Okay, I'll get you in my shoes.

It's Barbara.

Barbara!

Hi,

I'm Barbara.

Follow me.

You can go ahead and take your clothes off.

Okay.

Have any valuables you'd like to check with me?

Uh, no.

What's in the bag?

Um, a razor and some shaving cream, stuff like that.

You needn't bother.

We got that kind of stuff here. They're catered to many now.

Here, I can hang it up for you.

Oh, okay.

Ever been here before?

No.

Been to one of these places before?

Uh, yeah, once.

Enjoy it?

Yeah. Yeah, yes.

How'd you happen to come?

Just needed a little relaxation, I guess.

Go ahead and lay back.

Here, I'll take these for you.

I'm right here.

Mmm.

Why are you looking at me like that?

I don't know.

It's been a rough day.

How long have you been working?

Since noon.

You'll be my last customer.

Hey, you're really tense.

Just relax.

Let yourself go.

Okay.

A little better.

What are you so tense about?

Everything.

Is that why you came here?

Yeah, I guess.

Don't. Can't I touch you?

I'd rather you didn't.

But they're so soft.

I'm really sensitive there.

Listen, I don't want to get angry.

I just wanted to touch you, that's all.

I don't know, I could get in a lot of trouble.

Are you a cop?

No.

Could you do something for me?

What?

Would you give me a shave?

A pubic shave.

Can you do that?

Yeah, I guess.

I've had stranger requests.

I'll bet.

Actually, that's why I brought the razor and the shaving cream.

Oh, I see.

I'll get some towels and water.

Have you ever done this before?

No, this is the first.

You don't mind, do you?

No, it's okay.

It's kind of fun, I think.

Do you ever get many guys come in here that are like me? I mean, that want to

shaved like that?

Not many.

Why do you do it?

Well, I think it feels good.

I think it's sexy.

I guess it's hard for you to reach down here by yourself, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.

Does it itch kind of when it grows back?

No, not really. Just on the balls sometimes.

I did it once. It itched like hell.

You did?

Why'd you do it?

My boyfriend wanted me to.

Oh.

Careful.

What do you do for sex?

What do you do for sex?

Jerk off.

Mainly.

How old are you?

Guess.

22?

28. Young for your age.

Thank you.

I have a secret.

Yeah? I love secrets.

That's hard to believe.

Yeah.

This is a baby.

Wouldn't it be funny if you came while I was doing this?

There. Clean as a whistle.

Would you do something else for me?

What?

Would you give me a handjob?

I can't.

Please.

There's usually a tip involved.

Yeah, I know.

How's $20?

All right.

Not so fast. I want it to last a little longer, okay?

Hey.

I won't hurt you.

You're just so beautiful.

I don't usually let anyone do that.

You sure you don't know any girls?

No.

You do that nice.

So do you.

Would you do something else for me?

No.

On the mouth?

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

Your first lesson is relax.

Just relax your mind.

Try again.

Let's go.

Let me do that again.

Uh.

It's been a week and a half.

Thanks.

You're welcome.

Barbara, you're 20 minutes over time.

I'm just finishing. I'll be right out.

your shirt.

Thanks.

Oh.

Thank you.

What's your name?

Jim. Jim.

You can come back anytime if you want.

Thanks.

By the way, you're the most beautiful woman I've ever met in my life.

Where's my lighter?

Hey, Jim.

Wait.

You didn't forget, did you?

Forget what?

About the film series tonight. You know, the Truffaut picture?

Oh, Amy, I forgot.

You can't go.

I made plans.

I'm sorry. I can't break them.

Maybe, why don't we go out tomorrow night?

I know this place where we could get some pizza.

So Barbara just took another customer, and she's off at 8.

But Maria's free now, and Jojette, she'll be free in 15 minutes.

No, I want a Barbara.

Then you'll just have to try back another night.

Can I wait?

She gets off at 8, and she never stays late.

Well, could you tell her that Jim's here to see her?

I can't right now. Maybe later, when she's free.

All right, I'll just wait, then.

Okay.

Excuse me. It's 8 o 'clock.

Sometimes the hour runs over a little, you know?

Yeah.

Well, I'll see you then, okay?

Okay, it was great. Thanks. Thanks a lot.

Got my check?

Yeah. That guy over there is waiting for you.

Oh, hi.

If it isn't the beardless wonder.

How you doing?

Okay. I came to see you.

Oh, I'm sorry. I just got off.

Thanks a lot. I'll see you tomorrow.

Bye -bye.

Well, Barbara.

You never told me what you do for a living.

Work in a library.

It figures.

I'm sorry, but you know.

Okay.

Is that what you always wanted to do?

Work in a library?

Well, I'm a writer, actually. I filled a novel last year.

Oh, really?

Yeah. So you're good?

At that, I am.

Go ahead, lay down.

Is that how you're going to be?

What?

I mean, are you going to wear that?

Look, I really wasn't going to stay at all.

Okay, sorry.

But it is kind of hot in here.

And I don't want to get lotion on my shirt, so.

So, has your love life improved any since last time?

No.

Well, maybe when you're a rich, famous writer, you'll have women all over the

place.

That'd be nice.

Do you enjoy working in this place?

Well, to be honest, no.

Sometimes, yes, but mostly no.

Get a lot of real weirdos in here.

Some nice guys, too, but a lot of creeps.

A lot of older guys?

Yeah, mostly.

Some younger guys, too.

Did they all want more than a massage?

You sure do ask a lot of questions.

I just don't know much about that kind of thing.

Yeah, most of them want more than a massage.

Did you give it to them?

Who are you, the question man?

I just wondered.

Do I ask you everything?

Yeah, and I tell you.

What about jerking off?

That's all I do.

Sad, though.

I mean, if that's really all you know, it's sad.

Well, would you help me?

I don't know.

To be honest with you, I really don't do all that stuff.

A local, a handjob, that's all I give anybody.

I have to like them to do that.

I'm sorry.

I can't help you.

You're just so, so beautiful.

I mean, I just want to touch you.

Can't I just take your bra off?

Yeah, I guess.

Sure.

Really?

Yeah.

It's okay.

You want.

I'd say, you ready, tiger?

Would you do something for me?

What?

Would you give me a blowjob?

Give him an inch.

Leave?

No.

Why? Why?

It's too personal, that's why.

No, it is.

I'll pay you.

$20? No.

$30?

Give me $30.

All right, Barbara, I'll give you $40. That's all I have.

Barbara, please.

You don't understand.

You're the most beautiful woman I've ever met.

Let me get some cleaner.

But if you tell anybody about this, they'll help me, God.

I won't say a word.

Oh.

Is that what you wanted?

Not if it makes you unhappy.

Kiddo, let's get out of here. I gotta get going. I gotta go home.

Thank you.

I thought you were going to make it 40.

Jeez, it really is all you've got.

Yeah.

Where's my bra?

I know I left it right there.

Hi.

You know, I've been thinking it would really be nice if I could see you away

from all of this.

Could I do that?

No.

I don't know.

Maybe. If you make it worth my while.

Oh, I will.

I will.

Can I come to your place?

No. Why don't you give me your phone number, and I'll call you.

Okay.

Do you have something to... Oh, great. Thanks.

This is just business.

Don't forget.

I like you, or I wouldn't do this.

But I do need the money.

I like you, too.

I... I like you a lot.

You like me a lot because I'm the first girl you've ever done this stuff with.

That's all.

No, that's not it, really.

Yeah, it is. But you can't see that right now. Or maybe you can. You're just

being nice. Thanks anyway.

Is this your home phone number?

Yeah, work too.

Can you call me tomorrow?

Can you afford me tomorrow?

Well, no.

Then I'll call you next week.

And remember, this is just between you and me.

I won't tell anybody.

Just don't.

Bye.

Jim, telephone.

Thanks.

Hello.

Hi, Barbara.

Not as bad as I expected.

Well, I cleaned it up a little.

That the field of battle?

Uh, no. I thought we'd use the bedroom for that.

Looks like you're a reader.

Yeah, are you?

Sometimes.

Let us now place famous men.

What's this, biographies?

Well, it's... Oh, it's kind of hard to describe.

Ostensibly, it's about southern sharecroppers and the Great Depression.

But actually, it's about life and a way of seeing things.

It's one of the great poetic pieces of American literature by one of the great

authors, I think, James Agee.

Everything that is, is holy.

It's not a bad room, you know. You could fix it up, decorate it.

Needs a woman's touch.

Who's this?

Somebody I knew once.

Your girl?

It was a long time ago.

How long?

Eight years.

What happened?

She met somebody else.

Would you like some tea?

No alcohol?

I don't drink too much, sorry.

Tea?

I'll get us some. Okay.

I'll help.

So where do you live?

Near the beach.

Do you have a nice place?

Yeah, it's pretty nice.

I fixed it up a lot, so it's nice now.

Think I might be able to see it sometime?

No.

Why not?

Are you married, or do you have a boyfriend or something?

Please, Jim.

I'd like to take you to the movies sometime. You want to go to the movies?

It'd cost you.

Really?

So, uh, what do you have in mind for tonight?

I'd like to do something different tonight.

Yeah? Like what?

I'd like to tie you up.

Okay, but no rough stuff.

I wouldn't hurt you. I hope not.

Fantasy?

I understand.

We haven't discussed money.

Um, how's 50?

100?

That would only leave me with 20 for the week.

Okay, then the 75. And the book?

AG?

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

How's the tea?

It's real good. It's great.

It's my favorite.

Yeah?

Good cook.

Well, shall we undress?

Yeah, sure.

Okay? Yeah.

Can I touch you?

Sure. That's the idea, isn't it?

So, where do you want me?

On the bed, I guess.

Okay.

Yeah, yeah, it's fine.

I'll get the rope.

No.

I changed my mind. You can't do that.

I changed my mind. I don't want to do it.

What's wrong?

I just don't.

No. Why?

I just don't, okay?

That's it.

Okay.

So put away the rope.

Okay. Now, please.

We don't have to do it.

Okay.

Would you just lie there? Let me look at you. Sure.

That's okay.

This isn't working.

It's not like that.

Keep your hands at your side, okay?

I'm sorry. I forgot.

Why do you have to keep my hands down? Because it's personal.

Okay, fine.

I'm sorry.

It's just how I want to get, okay?

Okay. It's all right.

If you kind of go a little easier, if you can, if that's okay. I mean, it

usually feels better if you, like, kind of go real easy at first and, like, work

your way around the clit and, you know, kind of pick up on it.

Okay. You know what I mean?

That's real good.

Yeah, that's real good.

Just keep doing that.

Huh.

That felt real good.

Is that okay?

That's great, thanks.

That's real good.

Thank you.

You learn real fast.

Real fast.

I want you to do something for me, okay?

What?

I'll be right back.

Well, you stay here and you promise not to move, so stay here, okay?

Okay. Really.

Really.

Oh, God.

Have you ever used that before?

Just by myself.

Have you?

Yeah.

It's fun, huh?

Yeah, it is.

It's slippery.

You're going to ruin your bedspread.

That's okay. I can clean it.

Don't use it a lot, okay?

The tickles.

That's it?

Yeah, kind of. I just want to rub it in, okay?

Sure.

I'm gonna make a pool in my belly button.

Hmm.

You're not gonna check off now, are you?

Yeah, why?

Thank you.

Oh, yes. My cock is.

Oh, God, it feels so neat in between my legs.

Oh. My pussy's so wet.

Oh, yes. Oh, yeah.

Oh, that's it.

Will you do something else for me?

What?

Could I jack off on your shoes?

Yeah, sure.

Anything you want.

Is that all right?

Yeah, of course. That's fine.

No, no, no. Leave him on.

Please, leave him on.

Oh. Here, here.

Now, keep your hands down, okay?

Okay. Promise?

I promise. No problem.

If you can move one of them, just that one, to play with your pussy, okay?

Thank you.

Ah.

Can I get up now?

Where are you going to go?

I'm just going to get cleaned up if that's okay.

What's wrong?

I don't understand.

I know you don't.

Would you hand me the soap?

Yeah.

Thank you.

What did I do? I don't understand. I mean, one minute things are fine, and

the next minute they're... What did I do wrong?

Nothing. Forget it.

Aren't you going to get in? Get washed up?

Yeah.

Is it a... Can I come in with you?

Sure. It's fine.

The water's still hot. It's all right?

Yeah. Come on in.

Oh! I'm sorry.

Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You sure? I'm sorry. Are you all right?

You know, you're going to be okay when you grow up.

What do you mean by that?

Would you help me out of here?

Sure.

Thanks.

And, uh... Yeah, you're gonna like it.

It's a good book.

I'll give it back when I'm done.

No, keep it. It's yours.

Okay. Thanks.

Here.

Thank you.

Barbara, let's... Let's see each other away from all of this.

No.

Why? It's just no good, that's why.

Barbara, I need you.

Don't start needing me too much, Jim.

Because one of these days I'll be gone.

You don't have to be.

Jim, this can't go on forever.

You're 28 years old. You've got your own life. I've got mine.

You've got to understand that.

I don't see what that has to do with anything.

Just don't get too attached.

That's all.

Goodbye.

Rosalia Library.

Can I help you?

One moment.

Jim?

Mm -hmm?

Telephone.

Hi, it's Barbara.

Listen, I would have called you at home, but you're never there.

Um, at the movies.

Huh?

I've been seeing a lot of movies lately.

Oh.

Well, anyway, I called to tell you that I really can't see you this week.

Why?

Look, it's kind of personal. I'm just tied up for a little bit, that's all.

Okay? Yeah, okay.

You take care.

Yeah.

Hi, is Barbara there, please?

I'm sorry, but Barbara's busy. If you'd like to make an appointment.

No.

Couldn't she come to the phone? I just wanted to talk to her for a moment.

I'm afraid not, but I can tell her you called.

Hi, my name's Jim Mitchell.

Tell her it's important, please.

hello hello it's barbara what's up hi um well i just wanted to talk to you

so i told you i'd call well

it's been two weeks and i just i'll talk to you later all right why really

Good evening. Can I help you?

Yes, is Barbara here?

No, she just left.

When?

This way?

This way you came in.

You know, we have other girls here.

I'll get it, hon.

What are you doing here?

Who is it, honey?

It's a friend of mine from my acting class.

All right, come in.

Come on in. I'll let this draft.

The baby will get cold.

Hi, I'm Jack.

I'm Jim. Jim Mitchell.

Jim Mitchell.

Barbara tells me you're an actor.

Well, yeah.

It's kind of just like a hobby, though. I work in a library full -time.

Well, you've got to work pretty hard at it. Barbara does.

Yeah. It helps to know your lines.

It's not easy.

Daddy's a little baby.

How are you?

It's my boy.

I'm dizzy.

Five months.

What's his name?

Michael.

Michael Jack.

Would you like some coffee?

Oh, no. No, thanks.

Honey, you want some coffee?

Yeah, please.

Can you bring the baby bottle, please?

So, uh, how long you been acting?

About six months or so.

I just stopped by to get a copy of the play that we're doing.

Which play?

Um, well, I don't even know the name of it. Barbara picked it out.

Well,

I better get going.

I'll just, you're busy. I'll get there later.

Yeah, I'll bring it to class with me next time. There's no rush.

Nice to meet you. Yeah, same here.

Drop by any time, okay? Thanks.

See you.

Bye -bye. Nice meeting you.

I'm really sorry about the other night.

Never, ever do that again.

I'm sorry.

It won't happen again, I promise.

Did he believe that about the play?

Yes.

I guess you're married, huh? What do you think?

I think you're married.

You are.

You... Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

Do you know how dense and stupid and fucking childish you are?

I'm sorry.

Don't just stand there and say you're sorry. It doesn't mean anything.

Can't you say something halfway intelligent and adult?

All right.

You look so beautiful.

More beautiful than I've ever seen you before.

No, you held that baby.

And you strucked it and held it so close to you.

I've always wanted a baby.

It means more to me than anything in my life.

It's really made me feel like a woman.

I love my husband, but with Michael, there's no role -playing, no games.

There's no ego. He's...

Totally defensive.

And so am I.

I can give myself to him completely.

I love my home.

Humble though it is.

I love my baby.

And my husband.

I live for them.

I don't understand.

Why do you...

Stay here, then. Why do you work here?

Money.

There's other ways to make money.

Not enough.

Jack's not working.

We've got to eat.

And we like to out.

And there is the baby.

What would he do?

He writes, just like you.

Is he any good? He's great. He's a great writer.

But you know how tough it is.

Yeah.

He's working on a novel.

If I didn't work, he wouldn't have a chance to write.

So I work and he writes.

When he sells it, we're going to buy a yacht and move to the South Seas.

Sounds nice.

It will be.

I've got to get out of here.

I love you, you know.

Let's take a walk, okay?

I don't think we ought to see each other anymore.

It's getting too complicated.

I don't want what happened the other night to happen again.

It won't.

Wouldn't you just wait like I asked you to?

Why'd you have to mess things up?

I didn't mean to.

I know.

It's too messy already. You're too attached.

I'm... It'd be better if we just dropped it.

Look. I don't expect things to last forever. I know they won't, but I need

now, Barbara. Nobody else has treated me the way that you have.

It's because you haven't tried.

You know, you're a man, an attractive man. As soon as you grow up, your whole

life will change.

I don't understand that. I already am grown up.

You are, but you aren't. It's a way of looking at yourself.

I'm a woman, and I feel like it, but I don't think that you look at yourself as

a man, a male.

A sexual being. If you did, you'd just... Look,

I know one thing. When I'm with you, I feel sexual. I feel very sexual, as a

matter of fact.

I believe you.

Not here.

Not now.

Later? My place?

Okay. Thursday?

Yeah, okay.

You promise?

All right.

Thursday. I gotta go.

Okay. I'll see you then. Thursday, okay? Thursday.

Bye.

What's going on? You getting religious?

Don't you like flowers and candles?

Yeah, but... The flowers are for you.

Thanks.

And what would my husband say when I came in with a bouquet of flowers?

Oh, yeah.

Maybe you better keep them.

Do you want something to drink?

Don't tell me you got wine.

Yeah, I do.

Sure, why not?

Okay, I'll be right back.

Place does look better.

So what do you have in mind tonight?

You want to tie me up or shave me, sodomize me, piss on me?

What little fetish can I help you with tonight, huh?

That's not what I want from you.

That's not what you are to me.

I don't want that.

That was then.

Then what now?

Oh yeah.

Oh.

I don't want to come inside with you. It's okay.

I can't. Oh, it's all right. It's all good. It's all good. It's all good.

It's all good. It's all good. It's all good.

Oh, God, that was wonderful.

Oh, my God.

Oh, man.

Oh.

Oh.

It was... That was the very first time for me like that.

Congratulations.

You know, I really ought to get going.

I don't want you to.

I don't want to.

I'll walk you to your car.

Okay.

You know, I was thinking maybe... Maybe I could come by next week or on a

Tuesday.

It would be a good day.

You know, I really don't...

I think we shouldn't see each other anymore.

I gotta get dressed.

Barbara.

I...

I gotta go.

Barbara, I love you.

I have a family, a home, and a child.

That's something you still have no idea of.

I like you, but I can't risk it. If I kept seeing you, I'd

like my life too much.

It won't work now as before.

Hey, don't lose it.

You've got it.

You're a man.

Don't ever forget that.

Okay?

Okay.

Bye.

Bye. Oh, you can keep the panties, too.

Want a cracker?

Sure.

Thanks.

Are you interested in the latest Meryl Streep movie?

No. You want to go?

Sure, when?

How about Saturday night?

Okay. Oh, uh, Saturday night I got something planned. I don't know if I can

change it.

Can I let you know tomorrow?

Every time I ask you to do something, you always change your mind. You always

have some kind of excuse to get out of it.

This time, if you really want to go, I need an answer no later than tomorrow.

Okay? Tomorrow, I promise.

Okay.

Can I have another cracker? Sure.

Can I help you?

Yeah, is Barbara here?

Barbara doesn't work here anymore.

There's three new girls. I can show them to you if you like.

No. No, that's okay.

How long ago did she leave?

About two weeks ago.

Two weeks ago, precisely.

Okay. Thanks.

Barbara? They moved out of here a week ago.

Oh. Do you know where they went?

No. But the place is for rent. Do you want rent?

No, no.

No, I just got to get a message to her. It's kind of important. That's all.

Well, I know the landlord.

He's looking for them, too.

If you see her, let me know.

He wants to find her.

I don't know where it is.
