Shake your head.

You're not making any noise.

Louder, folks.

T, T.

So right here.

Right here, right here.

Eyes here, big eyes.

Good.

That's exactly right. Oh, shit, this is good.

Okay, make kidding noise.

Noise, noise.

Good.

Now start crawling.

Now look at me, Suzette.

Excellent.

Nice. Oh, shit. Nice.

Okay, great.

Nice. Keep going.

Excellent. Excellent angle there.

Okay, grab her.

Oh, shit. This is excellent.

Good. Grab the chain.

Ooh, that's...

That's just absolutely fabulous.

Okay. Now, get on her, and we'll do it. You ready?

Good, good.

And arch up, and bring in the fan.

Fan.

Paul, fan.

Good.

Perfect. Shit. Okay, that's the roll. One more roll here.

Don't move. Close your eyes.

Just hold it. Now, don't lose this move. This is absolutely perfect.

Where's the film? I think it was the last one.

What do you mean that was the last one?

How many did you roll up?

Well, I've been making prints since I got here. Oh, shit. We need... Film that

print.

Okay, that's it.

Oh, shit.

I'm sorry. I can roll you another one quick.

The mood is gone.

The models are in the dressing room.

The shoot is over.

When I'm shooting, I've got to have film.

Very important.

I don't know what to do.

Paul will get you a drink.

Go in the dressing room.

What's he got to drink?

Engleduck.

That's terrible.

Why doesn't he get anything with drinking?

I don't know.

Michael.

Yeah, just a sec. It's your wife.

Oh, tell her I'm not here.

I'd really rather not lie to her.

Well, I'll make it easy on you.

I'm gone already. Come on, we're going to the VC. Would you like to go?

I'd love to, Evelyn.

Of course.

Lock up.

Goodbye.

Hello?

I guess he's not here.

You're still here.

Yeah, I'm running a little late.

Well, I thought you'd be gone by now for sure.

Well,

I'm just leaving.

Excuse me.

It's cold today, isn't it?

You're going to love the light here.

Interesting fireplace, isn't it?

It certainly is.

Excuse me.

It really is very nice.

Why don't we start upstairs with the master bedroom?

You're going to love the view from up there.

I finished up those prints and your wife caught them.

I thought you were Michael.

I mean, I heard the music and Michael was back.

I thought Michael was in the dark.

No, he left about 3 .30.

Just my luck.

Well, no great loss, I suppose.

Was he coming back, Tina?

Well, he said something about being by later, but I don't know when.

You don't mind if I hang around, do you?

No.

I've been on my feet all day. It would be nice just to sit down for a while.

Well, I guess I better get back to my trip.

You look a little tired. Would you like a drink, too?

I really think I ought to get back to my work. Oh, come on.

Just one.

Besides, I don't like to drink alone.

Sit down. Relax.

So you've been working for Michael for what? About a month now?

Yeah, about that.

How do you like it?

Just between us?

It's all right, I guess.

Oh, cute.

Motor day?

Looks like Michael's been getting rather kinky.

Were you here for this session?

No.

How

about

this one?

No.

This one?

Wow, standard operating procedure.

So, what have you been up to?

Oh, not much of anything right now.

Well, I guess that can be real relaxing.

I guess I better get back to work. It's been nice seeing you.

You don't mind if I watch, do you?

Well, it's not very exciting.

You'd probably be bored to death.

Not with such fascinating subject matter.

Come on, cut it out.

I need that stuff to clean my negative.

Give it back.

Please.

Please.

Thank you.

What are you doing tonight?

Tonight?

Michael.

Yeah. Yeah, I got all the prints done.

It'll be about another 30 minutes.

No, she hasn't been by as far as I know.

But I've been in here for about two hours.

Alright, sure.

Okay.

He's on his way over.

You never answered my question.

What am I doing tonight?

Well, after here, I'm going home.

Would you like to meet me for a drink?

At the Hilton?

I don't think that would be a very good idea.

You know, Michael and I have what you might call a flexible marriage.

So I've heard, but...

I guess I'm just not that flexible.

No, I guess you're not.

Well, I better be going.

Can I open the door now?

It's safe.

Hi, my name is Lisa Welch.

I live in the building.

And I'm telling you that delicious chocolate mints for a ski trip to

Guess I was wondering if you wanted to buy them.

How much are they?

Three bucks a box.

Three bucks a box?

Yeah.

Are they really delicious?

Really delicious.

All right, I'll get three boxes.

Three boxes.

Really? Really.

Well, that'll be $9.

If I don't have $9, will you take a visa or a master charge?

The management accepts only cash.

Sorry.

Why don't? I got six.

I'll go in and get the rest. You can come in and wait if you want.

Looks like I got to go upstairs. I'll check my dresser.

You kind of like to spy on people with your camera, huh?

Well, it's not exactly spying. I was trying out a new lens.

It isn't exactly asking my permission, is it?

No.

Well, I like it anyway.

Can I have a print?

Sure, if you want.

I do.

Okay.

Thanks.

Well, here are your chocolates.

And here's your money.

Thanks.

Night. Night.

What was your name?

Paul. Paul.

I'm... I told you already.

Night night

Everyone who comes in.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you looking at?

Excuse me.

Hi. Oh, hi.

I was wondering if you could do me a big favor.

What?

I'm Sebastian.

I need a ride to school.

How far is it? Not too far, but I'll be real late if I walk.

Okay. Great.

So what year do you think I am?

Year? Yeah, well, oh yeah, we're supposed to pick a year for school and

dressed as someone from that time period and talk about it and all that crap,

you know.

Oh, I get it.

Uh... 1968.

That's real close.

Actually, it's 69.

I wanted to do the last year of the 60s.

That sounds like a good idea.

It's my mom's skirt.

Do you like it?

Yeah. She wore it in high school and got sent home. Can you believe that?

Uh -huh.

The light's green, you know.

You better hurry.

Don't worry, we'll make it.

I'm going to be late for history now.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

But if I go now, I'll get another detention.

You want me to take you home?

You know what we could do?

What? We could go to the beach.

What time do you have to be at work?

Well, not till 2 .30, but that's a long drive.

By the time we got there, we'd have to come back.

Well...

It's worth it, isn't it? Besides, we could go faster. We could speed.

Speed? Sure, why not?

Merci, Sinatra.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Nice. I love it here. I wish we could stay for it.

Well, I hate to ruin your good time, but we've got to get going back.

Don't you love it here?

It's beautiful.

Why don't we stay a little longer?

Because I'm one of the lucky few who are employed, and I'd like to keep it that

way. I'd be at work by 2 .30.

Well, you could always call in sick, couldn't you?

But I'm not sick.

Well, call in sick.

I'm having a nice time at the beach today and I won't be in, thank you.

No good. Not a good idea.

Spoilsport.

What's that?

What? Over there.

on the front of ships.

A maidenhead.

No, not maidenheads. Okay, a woman in front of a ship. Come on, let's get

I'll be late for work.

Wait.

Didn't you hear that fairy tale about the woman on the front of ships? Wait.

There was this woman.

She fell in love with a sailor and she, like, did him wrong or something. So

this witch turned into one of those women on the front of ships.

She had to spend the rest of her life looking out to sea.

That's tragic. Come on, let's go.

I don't want to.

I'll lose my job.

Well, we're already late. Let's just stay.

Lisa, I'm leaving.

Come on.

Well, go ahead then.

How are you going to get back?

I can always get a ride.

Okay, fine.

Fine.

I'm Michael. Yes, Paul.

I'm sorry, I'm at the coat.

My car busted. They think it might be the fuel pump.

I can't help it. It's not my fault.

How'd it go?

He's pissed.

Well, you can forget about it then, Mom.

I don't like lying to him.

Well, you could do penance by buying me lunch.

Where'd you get that?

Someone bought it for him.

Great. I'll get down quick before somebody sees me.

Did you get it?

Got something.

You take a lot of pictures, don't you?

Yeah, I guess so.

Is that what you do for a living?

Well, not exactly. I work for this fashion photographer.

It's out of his life's form that I develop this film.

I sweep his floor so his models don't get their little feces dirty.

I guess I'm sort of a glorified janitor.

You know the slides at your house?

Yeah.

Well, I thought they were pretty good, you know?

They did?

You could probably sell them for magazines or something.

I don't know. It's a pretty tough market out there.

Nowadays, everybody thinks they're a photographer.

What was this for?

It was an old board.

Used a gun in placement.

Do you have pictures of people very much, do you?

No, not very much.

Why not?

I don't know. People are too unpredictable, I guess.

So?

Excuse me.

So, I... I just never really got into that kind of photography.

You did my picture.

That was from a distance.

Would that make it easier moving your telescopic lens?

Telephoto? Whatever.

Have you been doing this guy a lot?

I suppose so. I don't really remember when I started.

There must have been a first time.

One picture that was different.

I can't remember. Well, maybe in high school sometime.

You must remember something.

What?

Well, there was a first time.

Really? When?

1959.

1959?

How old were you?

Eight.

It was Halloween.

And at school, we all had to get dressed up in these Halloween costumes.

Did you ever have to do that?

Mm -hmm.

Well, once I was a fairy princess, but my wings got stuck in the car and it was

all over the place.

Anyway, I didn't feel like wearing a costume, so I took our brownie

camera and I put it on, and I said that I was man with a camera.

What's that?

I'm sorry, it's a TV show we had back then.

I got to the school and the teacher says to me, Paul, where's your costume?

I said, I'm mad with the camera.

She goes, no, Paul, you have to have a costume.

So the teacher and the rest of the class, they got these newspapers and

stapled it to my arms and stapled it to my legs.

Oh, God, it was awful. I felt so ridiculous.

And then we had to go out to the playground and parade around in these

I took my camera and I started taking pictures of all the kids in their silly

costumes.

And the last picture on the roll was of a girl I had a mad crush on.

Too close to the lens and out of focus.

And whatever happened to those pictures?

Anyway, to answer your question, I've been doing this about 22 years.

That's a long time.

Video.

Lisa!

Hey, look.

There's a ship.

Where?

Within our own crew.

Yeah.

It's a really dangerous bar.

Ships crack up there all the time.

I'm going to pick a lot of coke.

A lot of rum.

I think we got a live one this time.

Yeah? Remember that couple from San Francisco with the baby?

No, not really.

Well, they made an offer. Get this. $63 ,500. Can you believe it?

They simply fell in love with the house.

And that's $65 ,000.

Well, that's only $1 ,500 less than your original offer.

I know, but I was kind of counting on $65 ,000.

Oh, let's be honest.

You've had this house on the market for over a year now.

I have faith in you.

I'll tell you what.

We'll make a counter -offer.

$500 more. We'll try.

Betsy, I'm sorry. I realize how hard you've been working for me.

I don't want to seem like a hard -nosed, but I really would like to have $65.

Are you rejecting this offer?

Yes. What is it?

It simply states that you have considered the 635 and you're formally

it.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Here.

Paul, I won't turn this into a tomorrow.

Okay. You change your mind, call me.

I will.

Here it is.

It's a little star.

Isn't it?

Yeah, we need a lot of space.

This is Mike's new site. Don't go out any further than that, or it's my ass.

Okay.

Over here, we've got our makeup room.

He's got a changing room.

Come on, show them, please.

And over here, this is our makeup room.

Can I?

Please.

Yeah, they use a lot of stiff.

Well, I got about a half hour's work to do in the darkroom.

If you'll excuse me.

Okay.

Okay, there's a bunch of magazines and stuff in the can if you want.

Open something.

Oh. What?

Be sure you don't open this door.

Okay.

Lisa? Lisa, you're in here, aren't you?

Aren't you coming in?

Well, what about your mother?

She won't be home till late.

She's at the bathroom. Come on.

Thanks.

So, your mother's an actress?

She thinks so.

You want to see my album?

Sure.

It's in my room.

Are you sure you want to go through with this?

I've braced myself.

Is that your mom?

Yeah, that's my mother.

Don't look too hard, she might put an evil eye on you.

How old were you when this one was taken?

Eleven.

A school photographer took it.

And I think it's pretty good considering he probably took pictures of 500 kids

that day.

It is.

Do you notice anything different about her?

Her? Me.

I don't know.

Something in the eyes.

I was in love with a boy when it was taken.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Who? He was in my class.

His name was Grant Huntington.

We used to take these long winter walks.

We would walk and walk and walk till our noses turned bright red.

And then we'd go to his house.

You never laid a hand on me, though.

Did you want him to?

He was only 11.

Yeah, I guess that is pretty young.

Maybe I wanted him to.

I know I wanted him to kiss me.

Well, how old were you when you had your first romantic burst?

I think I was 12.

Yeah.

Did she take longer to walk?

No.

But she tried to kiss me.

Yeah? But I got away.

Didn't she want to kiss you?

I don't know. I think I was just scared.

So what happened?

Well...

Went on this two -week vacation with my parents And for my birthday they

gave me this brownie Fiesta camera When I came back

I Guess I wanted to take a picture because I went to her house to see her

She wasn't home So

I went to one of these public swimming pools

And there she was, rubbing the shoulders of some lifeguard.

I took her picture and I swore I was going to tell her parents.

Did you?

No.

I ran out of film.

You know... You have, um...

very elegant hands for men.

I do?

With your palms.

You don't have a very long lifeline.

So I've been told.

You know...

I remember that day of the coast.

It was very wet.

And your hair kept coming down and clinging to your forehead.

And two little prints.

Hey.

Got 30 bucks?

No.

What's the matter? Don't you like girls?

Fuck, I had to leave.

No, I don't. I don't use it.

I don't use this stuff. Please leave me alone.

What's this shit?

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I got locked out.

Got locked out.

You want to come in?

Okay.

What?

I didn't really get locked out.

I really wanted to come over, but I felt weird about it.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I think I do.

I came over before, but you went in.

Yes, I was.

Why didn't you answer?

Well, because... I didn't think I could face you.

I'm really sorry about what happened. I didn't mean... What's to be sorry for?

It's not like you raped me.

I wanted to.

So I shouldn't have done it.

Why not?

Well,

because...

Because you're just not really emotionally mature enough.

And you are?

Paul, I don't say this to hurt you.

You're not the first man I've slept with.

The other night when we made love, I had this moment when I felt I knew you

better.

And you know yourself.

It was like you said, you lost control.

And in that moment, it was like this shield

sprang apart in you.

And I could see straight through to your soul.

Really?

What could you see?

How terribly hurt you are inside.

Like a beautiful doll.

You can shake it, and then all your broken pieces rattle around inside.

How very poetic.

Do you go out with anyone?

No.

Well, why not?

I don't know.

It's just, I guess, it's too complicated.

Somehow I thought you were going to tell me that you had a wife and kids.

Why did I think that?

You're not too far off.

Are you married?

No.

But I have a daughter.

I do.

Where is she?

I don't know.

You never see her?

I saw a picture of her once after she was born.

But she was adopted right away.

How old were you?

17.

How old was the mother?

15.

It's hard to get an abortion in those days.

What's the matter?
