# Tell me what you wishin' for #

# Tell me what you wishin' for #

Why, it's Pinocchio.

I asked for Cyrano,
and they gave me this.

They saw right through you.

Place looks great.

Kudos to Rae.

Hey, Sam.

Rae.

Already wasted?

Brought you a little somethin'.

Thank you.

What are you, an ostrich?

"One thing without stain unspotted

"from this world in spite of my own doom

"and that is my white plume."

Hey, Sam.

Hey, hi, how's it going, Lenny?

Hey, sorry about your dad.

Aw, yeah.

I'm good, listen man, how did it happen?

I don't know, a weird accident.

Hey, remember the time that he went

windsurfing across the lake?

I'll never forget him.

I could gotta give
this acceptance speech.

You should definitely wear the nose.

In my father's name, I accept
this seven dollar walrus.

Terrible drunk, anyway,

it's a shame that I loot the rum.

Watch my technique, this

is all I learned in prep school.

I was always on probation,
they made me mop the hall.

# You had your chance

# With me

# Now just let me be

("Just Let Me Be" by Michael
Rohatyn and Lindy Robbins)

# I used to pray all night

# You'd make everything
- You want one?

# All right
My own private stash.

No.

# But now my plans have changed

So, what brings you
to this gathering?

It's Halloween.

This is true.

What brings you?

One thing you can say about Nick

and Rae, they're always well stocked.

Yeah, you got to think
on the upper hand.

So, you know Rae?

Uh, I know Nick.

Oh, yeah, how do you know Nick?

How do you know Nick?

I'm old friends with these guys.

Watch it, this is a crucial moment!

So, what's your name?

Anna.

Yeah?

I'm Sam.

Great party.
Thanks, I had a good time.

Say goodbye to Nick for me.

Yeah.

Goodnight.

So you know, I hadn't smoked for years

but I'm gonna quit in the spring.

You know, the whole country's against

it, so I feel it's my duty.

You're very compulsive, Sam.

Oh, yeah, you can tell that already?

The moment I set eyes on you.

They say I'm committing
suicide on the installment plan.

Shit.

What is it?

I had these photos.

Photos?

Anna,

this isn't, this isn't my coat.

Oh shit, this is someone else's coat.

We gotta go back, we gotta go back.

Oh come on, I'm sorry.

Can we just, I won't take a second.

Can we just go back?

You gonna go back?

Um...

Yeah.

I'll wait here.

I just gotta get this guy's coat back.

- Uh-huh.
- All right.

OK.

Just in case you get stuck up

there, call me sometime.

No, no, no, no, I'll be right back.

I'll be right back, please,
will you please wait?

I'll wait.

Promise?

I promise.

Three is better than two.

Well you can just come get me.

I'm not about to walk to the subway,

I'm wearing two inch heels.

Hey.

Hi, Sam.

How's it goin'?

Anyway, I was leavin', Happy Halloween.

Have you been up to your father's place?

Yeah, yeah, I was up there tonight.

Yeah, there's a lot of shit to go through.

So, what about you, did you find a place?

Yeah, I think I found
a sublet on St. Marks.

Oh yeah? Cool, dude.

I'll know for sure
in the next couple of days.

Well, you know if you need any

help with the move,
you know where I'll be.

So, are you leaving?

Yeah, I gotta go.

It's so early.

Hey, it's the new me.

I gotta go.

Gimme a call about that move.

Yeah.

Hi, Liza.

- How are you?
- Hey.

Sam's leaving when he could

still see straight, did you notice?

Hey Mike, look at this man,

I got robbed on the subway.

They took the money out of
my pants when I was sleeping.

- That's wrong.
- Listen man,

can I get two coffees and The Post?

I'll pay tomorrow.

Yeah, sure.

All right, cool.

Mutt?

Hair of the dog that bit me.

Yo, Segundo.

Hey, Senor Carrot Man.

How's your wife and my kids?

You can have 'em.

Take to the back, huh?

To the back?

To the back.

To the back.

So you had a good time
at the Halloween party?

Oh, I had a great time
at the Halloween party.

Yo Lenny, we've got nothin' on the mics.

Let me tell you,
I meet this girl, right?

She comes straight up to
me, none of that messin'

around, makes it very
clear what she's after.

Uh-huh.

You know what I mean?

Uh-huh, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.

Anyhow, she takes me to a fuckin' boat.

A boat?

Lenny, could we get some sound up here?

She like, resides on a boat that's

docked in Tribeca somewhere.

I never heard of such a
thing, I'm tellin' you.

Lenny, could we get some sound up here?

Yeah, you got some sound now?

Thank you.

And before I know it, she's taking

me up to the poop deck and
having her way with me.

On the fuckin' poop deck, man.

In front of all these Halloween freaks

that are trudging about, and shit.

Can I get some sound on the acoustic?

Hey Lenny, take care of these guys

man, I gotta make a phone call.

Nicky, hey listen, man.

I'm trying to get in touch with

this girl I met at your party,

she said you invited her.

No, never seen her before.

I was leavin' and she disappeared.

Anna.

Yeah, what's her name?

All right, well listen, I'm
at the restaurant, I gotta go.

All right, see ya.

Slimma.

Hey buddy, how are you doin'?

Doin', man.

All right.

You want this?

No, you keep it.

Oh, goodbye Mutt.

I'll miss you.

I can't believe I'm getting the hairy

eyeball from those two, what the

hell did you tell them about me?

Don't be so paranoid.

No, they're treating me like

the schmucky boyfriend
who walked out on you.

Hmm.

You're the one who's moving out, Liza.

Well, I mean somebody
had to do something.

Yeah, I know.

Anyway, you got what
you wanted, you know?

Your freedom.

Oh Susan, that's great, would you just

put that lamp down over
here by the window?

Watch that cord so you don't trip.

Need some help?

Nah, just move.

That's it.

Well, you wanna come up?

I got a couple of beers in the fridge

and we're gonna order out for pizza.

I'll pass.

All right, well thanks for the help.

Sure.

So, did you have a
good time at the party?

What?

Nick and Rae's party?

Yeah, did you?

Go home with someone?

No, I got stood up to tell the truth.

Ah, speak of the devil.

How are you doin', Nick?

You're only an hour and a half late.

Sorry, I lost the address.

That was convenient.

Hey, Liza.

Hi, Nick.

So, how'd it go?

It's fine, we're done.

I need a sip of that.

So, you sure you don't wanna come up?

I gotta go, you wanna go?

Sure.

So long.

Sam, come here for a minute.

Nick, do you mind?

No.

I want you to be careful, OK?

Fine.

I mean, I think I'm doing the right

thing Sam, but I'm not
giving up on us, you know.

I understand.

I don't want you to go
crazy now just because

there's no one around to
call you on it, all right?

I gotta go.

Fuckin' nightmare.

I have a feeling I'm
gonna go through that next.

What, with Rae?

Do you want to grab a drink at Gold Bar?

Where are we?

First Avenue.

Let's just go to the Holiday, come on.

And what did she look like?

I can't even remember, man.

Can't even remember.

Is she short, is she tall?

Big hooters?

What she got?

Short-ish, nice figure,

you know, enough to reel me in.

Well, hate to one-up you Sammy boy, but

you should see the chick I bang with.

What, the one with the boat?

Uh-huh.

She's quite a little number.

Been seein' her ever since the party.

Oh yeah?

What does Allison think of that?

Oh, fuck Allison.

Are you all right?

Yeah, actually considering
how much I'm getting laid,

it's amazing how shitty I feel.

You look like shit, dude.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

You goin' to the festival tonight

with Nick and those guys?

Yeah, I'm thinkin' about goin'.

Bring some.

Are you OK?

Seven o'clock, I'm fine.

Man, you need to lay off

the hooch, you look sick as a dog.

Hey now, wanna go racin', anybody

else out there wanna get in?

Hey.

Jesus guys, what's goin' on?

Hey listen, Rae's grandmother died.

Oh, shit.

We got a call this morning.

Rae, are you all right?

Yeah, she's been sick a long time.

I knew it was coming.

Listen, do you guys not want to do this?

She'll be OK.

Yeah, I'm fine.

God.

So, did you find your mystery girl

from the party the other night?

No, it's been driving me crazy.

I can't even remember what she looks like.

She's been the perfect date in my mind.

Where the fuck is Lenny,
is he coming or what?

I don't know man, I saw him this

afternoon, he's looking pretty sick today,

I wouldn't be surprised if he passes.

Fuckin' Lenny, I probably spent a month

of my lifetime over the
years waiting for him.

Listen, I'm gonna get
a beer, anybody else?

We have a winner!

Anna?

Hi, Sam.

It's really you,
what are you doing here?

You never called me.

You never left your number.

Oh, you never found it.

I left it in your pocket.

Really?

I wish you'd waited, I wasn't that long.

I've been trying to find you,
I've been thinking about you.

-I've been thinking about you, Sam.

Listen, I'm with Nick and Rae,

they had that party that night.

We could check out the festival.

I thought I found you alone.

It's so amazing to see you again.

- You're blushing.
- Oh, yeah?

Well listen, I should get this beer

back to Nick and maybe we can go

off and have a festival on our own.

I'd like that.

Yeah?

Are you gonna wait this time?

Yeah.

I came back the last time,
you weren't there.

I'll be here.

All right.

I'm sorry you guys,
I've just been so possessed.

I gotta check her out.

So, what should we do?

Lenny's not coming, I can tell you that.

I don't know Nick, why don't
we check out the festival?

Maybe we should just head back uptown.

Go on Sam, you are released.

Want to ride the ferris wheel?

I thought you dooped me.

Two tickets for the ride of your life.

I'm kind of afraid of heights.

Ah, this fucker keeps coming.

So, what's the truth,
did you crash that party?

I heard about it
through someone or other.

I haven't crashed a party in years.

There's no parties to crash, everybody

I know has gone their separate ways.

So, you've known Rae a long time?

Yeah, we went to school
together when we were kids.

We were gonna get married
when we were nine.

Good that's it, please
don't move, don't move.

Five seconds left, please
don't move, don't breathe.

And relax.

Rose, come on, Maria, Maria?

OK girls, OK and relax.

Yeah, this is a project that I've

been working on for a little while.

That's a lot of work,
hope it gets published.

His ticket to immortality.

So tell me, Anna, that blowout

back there on the wheel, it's just

a, I got a thing about heights.

God, you're so beautiful.

Oh, shit! Ow, shit!

Hey, listen, I need you
to stand-in for Lenny.

No, tonight.

He fucking disappeared, I don't know,

he didn't show up last night either.

Look, fuck.

All right, um, OK thanks.

I'll see you Tuesday, bye.

("Home To You" by Flamin'
Amy and Sweet Potata)

# I want to go where I
got someplace to hide

# I want to go home

# To you

# Well life is tough #

You need a little change?

Yeah.

All right, I'll be right back with that.

How are you guys doin'?

This salad has no dressing.

Well, it does, if you want a

little more, I can get it for you.

I paid for the dressing,
I'd like to taste it.

Can you bring me a little
container, or something?

Yes, I'll be right back with that.

What is with that guy?

This really sucks, Lenny,

I hope you're hearing
this wherever you are.

Tough night, huh Segundo?

All right, I'll see you man.

Anna!

Hi, Sam.

You found me, incredible.

God, I was wondering what
happened to you last night.

Oh, I tried to wake you,
you were passed out.

Really?

Mmm-hmm.

Well you know I've been
workin' late hours.

You like hamburgers?

I may like a good hamburger.

I'm feeling a little light-headed today,

thought I might need some red meat.

You're not a vegetarian are you?

'Cause that wouldn't last too long.

No, not at all.

No?

I could be vegetarian but

there's just too much stuff I couldn't

give up, like lobsters, clams...

I don't think I could do it.

What do you do at
the restaurant with the dishes?

Excuse me.

I'm the manager four nights a week.

What about you, do you work?

I work.

Yeah?

Yeah.

What kind of work?

I don't like to talk about it.

It doesn't really have
anything to do with who I am.

You know what I mean?

Sort of.

Well, how much do you need to

know about someone to
be attracted to them?

Attracted? Nothing.

To stay interested, you
need to fall in love.

Well, I suspect that
the less you know about me,

the longer you'll stay interested.

Why, you have somethin' to hide?

No.

Just that men like to fall in love

don't like to stay in love.

All love ends in sadness,
that's my experience.

People expect too much from love.

# The mystery #

Aren't you gonna invite me in?

I wouldn't leave you out there.

Thank you.

You want a glass of water or something?

I feel kinda out of sorts if
I can't offer you a drink.

No, I'm fine.

- This is a nice place.
- Yeah.

You live alone?

Yeah.

Someone used to live here.

Liza, my ex.

Oh, you look happy in this picture.

You think so?

Yeah.

God, I'm beat.

Oh, it's your father.

Yeah, does he look like me?

Yeah.

You travel a lot, huh?

This is true.

Your lip, it's cut.

Oh, yeah.

Or is that herpes?

No.

What is it then?

Didn't you bite my lip in Battery Park?

I didn't think you'd remember.

Sometimes, I can have a good memory.

A little...

Just a little bit at a
time, because I like you.

Sicko.

Wait, wait.

Wait, do you got protection?

Protection from what?

Seriously. Oh, fuck.

Fuck.

Ow.

That's protection.

Fair enough, fair enough.

It's not just pregnancy anymore.

I'm not contagious.

All right.

You gotta ask, you gotta ask.

I used to cut my arms at parties.

Oh, you're a cutter.

See? That's my favorite.

It's got the, it's kind of a map.

A cross.

And then I have this one.

You can't see that as well, it's all over.

It's a weird thing to puncture your skin.

Skin is all there is between
you and the rest of the world.

Blood is so eager to get out.

You know it's blue and green?

The oxygen turns it red.

And what about this?

You pull out your teeth at parties, too?

No, I was mugged.

They kicked me in the face,
I lost my tooth.

They got six bucks off me.

I like it.

Well you know, Sam, you might want

to consider that you were
pretty seriously on the rebound.

Yeah, well, I don't know man,

she's got a real ease about her,

kind of a timeless quality.

Uh-huh, Uh-huh.

And you know, she jerked me off
on our first date.

That might have
something to do with it.

We are late for that funeral.

Oh, shit.

Come on, Rae's waiting for us.

All right, let's go, let's go.

Come on Nick.

You should come, I know Rae'd want

you there, and what else are you gonna do?

I don't know, something
with Anna I'm hoping.

Well, Anna's invited.

It's gotta be weird for you too, I mean,

the first year without your dad.

Yeah.

What'd you guys used to do?

After my mom died?

I don't know, I'd make a
turkey and creamed onions,

he'd have some of his cronies over but

last year, he was getting
kind of despondent.

Just wanted to be away so
we ate in this place uptown,

just the two of us, it was pretty dismal.

Well, come out to the house.

The spirit of grandma will be there.

All right.

Sam?

Sam?

Anna, hey, hold on.

This is the key to the front door.

- Hi.
- Hi.

What's that smell?

What?

Oh, you gotta be kidding me.

What is it?

You can't smell it, you're
standing in it, I think.

- Maybe it's the catbox,
- Come here.

- Come here.
- Catbox is right there.

Look.

Hey, what do you got?

A good BBQ set.

We have to use it,
can we get on the roof?

Um, yeah.

So, we'll have a BBQ.

Where did this you get this?

It's really high tech.

14th Street.

You can shop anywhere when
you buy on 14th Street, right?

All right, OK, cool, so we'll

move this operation upstairs.

Great, I'll stay here.

It's not that bad, it's just--

All right.

Have you ever been naked

on a New York rooftop?

Not in this life.

What would that be like?

You're sort of an exhibitionist, huh?

Hey, are you there?

It's me, um, well, it's been awhile

and I was just wondering how you

were doing and gimme a call someday.

It's good to see you.

How you been?

OK, what's been goin' on with you?

You look strung out.

I'm running a free life.

Hi.

Yeah, can I have a coffee please?

So, what's been goin' on with you?

Hey did you hear about Lenny?

No, what?

He's gone missing.

Oh, well what does that mean?

He stopped coming to the restaurant,

he never called, nothin'.

Well, isn't he always
threatening to just up and go?

Yeah, well I think it's weird.

So what else is new?

How's Nick and Rae?

They're fine, oh, look at this.

I gotta give this speech
tonight about my dad.

Hmm, what are you gonna say?

That he liked to travel
and he was never around.

Mmm-hmm.

It's a reservation.

The reservation is the two-all,

we can't put them on the air.

I've got this young kid,
he's very telegenic.

So, how's your apartment and stuff?

It's OK, staying at Mark's place

is kind of funny, I guess,
It's sort of a circus.

No, listen, you're calling me.

Well, I'd like to come by and see it.

You should, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

What happened to your lip?

I get that every year, you know,

it's herpes or somethin', right?

You seem nervous.

Too much coffee.

I've been feelin' a little weird.

Yeah, like what?

Liza, I've started seeing somebody.

I'm not saying it's serious or anything

but I just feel like we should
start to say our things over.

We don't have to have
this conversation right now.

I know, I know, it's just so you know.

Oh, well that didn't take long,

how long have you known her?

Not that long.

Are you fucking her?

What do you think?

Well, I hope you're being careful.

Liza, come on.

You met her at that
Halloween party, right?

I knew it when I saw you there.

Liza, this isn't a separation if you're

gonna keep quizzing me on everything.

I mean, how is this any
different from living together?

You got me under a fuckin' microscope.

That's not me Sam, that's you

doing that to yourself.

Ah, shit.

What's the matter?

Are you OK?

I'm fine, I'm fine.

Just a little hung over.

Listen, this was a
bad idea, I'm gonna go.

No, just wait for a minute.

Look at you, how

much longer can you keep this up?

Is she moving out?

I'm all packed.

What's up with you two?

Just stuck enjoying each other, I guess.

That's enough out of me
for this evening.

Now what we all came here for,

to here from his son, Sam.

Let's bring him on.

Thank you.

I'm not very helpful in these situations,

but I did try to put down a
few thoughts about my father.

I'm thinking about him and I believe

that he never stopped searching,

traveling around,
especially later in life.

I think that he took great comfort in

history and in the past,
he seemed to identify

with the ruins of great civilizations

as monuments to some sort of idealism

which he felt was lacking in the, "Culture

of narcissism," as he liked to call it.

That was Christopher Lasch,
my father liked that phrase.

He had a lot of ambivalence about popular

culture and the media
and I think he felt that

the education system discouraged real

self discovery.

I'm sure you've all discussed
these issues with him.

Anyway, I think that made him

bitter, but he was not

a pessimist or a cynic,

as some of his detractors would have it.

I think...

I think he was an optimist who'd

come up against a lot of disappointments.

But here in this
institution, I think he felt

idealism was still possible and I think

that meant a lot to him.

It meant everything to him.

So, in his honor,

I accept

this memorial.

What I'm sayin' is...

Thank you, and now maybe we

should all get a drink or something.

Thank you.

Sam.

Mr. Lyons.

Are you OK?

Oh, yeah I'm just,
been a little run down.

Well I'm sure all of this
has been pretty hard on you.

Yeah.

That was very fine what you said.

It would've meant a lot to your dad.

Thank you, thanks.

How is that girlfriend
of yours, the painter?

Oh, Liza, she's fine, yeah.

Your father was fond of her.

She was studying archaeology, I think.

That's right, very good, yeah.

She's trying to decide
which way to go now,

painting or archeology.

Your father was tickled pink about that.

Oh yeah, they got along very well.

- Who's this?
- Anna?

Hi, sorry I missed
your speech, how'd it go?

It was fine.

Mr. Lyons, this is Anna.

Hi, Jerry Lyons, nice to know you.

I'm not interrupting anything, am I?

Here Sam, I got you something,
in honor of the occasion.

Oh, nice.

What is it?

How extraordinary!

Peter, come take a look at this.

Come here, take a look at this.

Don't touch, it's for Sam.

What was that all about?

You're not mad that I showed up?

That was just so fuckin' weird.

Come on.

Listen.

What are you hearing? I don't...

They're out tonight.

What are those, dogs?

Central Park used to be full of wolves.

Oh, shit!

Anna, come on!

Don't move him, don't move him.

Wait, don't move him, put him back in.

Anybody getting the ambulance, or what?

Don't touch it, Anna.

His little life is slipping away.

Don't move him, don't move him.

Wait, don't move him, put you back in.

Anybody getting the ambulance, or what?

Jesus, that's a baby?

It's the child
we'll never have, Sam.

Seriously, Anna,
let's get the fuck out of here.

You're being perverse.

Take me, Sam,
rub your hard cock against me.

You got a very morbid streak, Anna.

What, and you don't?

I don't know, maybe.

With your scars, Sam?

Drinking yourself into
a stupor every night.

I got the gloom gene in my family.

Goddamnit.

Look, I'm fine, all right?

I just need to get home, it's been

a fuckin' intense night, I've had it.

I'll see you tomorrow, we have
the whole weekend, all right?

I'll see you tomorrow?

All right.

All right, I'm sorry, I'm tired.

Be well.

Sam?

Yeah?

You like me?

After that?

Really?

Yeah.

Why?

I guess...

I guess you seem lonely.

You put up a tough front.

That appeals to me.

Why?

Are you lonely?

Well, maybe I am.

We live as we dream alone.

Who said that?

You did.

No, no, it was someone.

Mister Sam, are you OK?

I don't know man.

You don't look so good,
what is the deal?

Mister Sam?

Hi.

I'm fine man, I'm fine.

Here you go.

She left a message on my machine, she's

going to meet us up there tomorrow.

I'm sorry, I should've checked sooner.

Think nothing of it.

Let's go then before we
get slammed by the traffic.

Cut someone off Nick.

I'm trying to get us out there
before Christmas time.

I would not take
the breakdown lane, Nick.

There are cops all over the place.

Now, isn't this nice?

Sheep, you're all sheep.

Yoo-hoo, Mister Kingfuck?

Hey, Mister Teenage Entrepreneur?

Hey asshole,
move over or I'm gonna

come over and kick your balls in.

Kick your balls in?

She means it, too.

# I just wanna be like you #

Grandma's kitchen.

I'm gonna go to bed.

You know where it is?

Yep.

Night.

Goodnight.

Sam.

Sam.

These were made by Grandma.

Really? That's weird, right?

Very sacred.

Wow, yeah.

Oh, to be cherished.

I wonder what she put in there?

Love.

So, Sam?

How's this thing with Anna turning out?

Oh, uh...

it's a...

I don't know, there's
something about her, you know?

Yeah, I can't get a handle on it.

But it's you know...

I'm not really saying anything.

Well, if you're happy.

Yeah, so what about you Rae,

how are things going?

Things are pretty hard right now.

Yeah?

I'm trying to make
a major life decision.

Both options are pretty disappointing.

Like, what's goin' on?

Sam, swim in the ocean.

You're kidding.

We must be manly and
go for a dip in the sea.

No, that's impossible man, I'm sick.

Nonsense, good for the circulation.

Anyway, I need the company,
walk me to the beach.

What about you Rae,
you need some help here?

Entertain Nick, that's help enough.

All right, but I may not go in.

We'll finish this later.

Yes.

Bye. Jesus, man.

To the sea!

What am I supposed
to do with this?

You put it on, that's a start.

Then we walk to the ocean, we put

our bodies into it, and we swim.

So, I told her it was over,
pissed her off.

Come on, we can't return
to the house in defeat.

Look, I'm keeping you company, Nick.

I don't feel well, go in the fucking

water, I'll be your witness.

What is this new frailty
image you're cultivating?

Always the martyr, always the victim.

Don't be unkind, dude.

All right. I'm going in.

Fucker! Fucker!

Oh, sorry.

Don't worry, I'm all right.

- So, Nick?
- Mmm-hmm?

No listen, I'm thinking that maybe

our little process.

What's the matter?

It's Sam, he's looking weird.

I don't think you should
encourage him drinking.

This woman Anna is obviously
doing nothing good.

He spends so much time with her.

It's not about Sam.

Everything's about money.

Happy Thanksgiving, Nick.

Yep.

Whoa, are you all right?

The Hunter's Moon, now that's

the name given the full moon in October.

Hunter, but it's mostly.

Sam, the gravy.

No, every full moon has a name.

The Harvest Moon, that's
a full moon in September

and then of course the Blue Moon

and that's when there's two
full moons in the same month.

That happens well...

Once every blue moon.

Ah precisely, thank you.

Rae, you're looking like quite

the little temptress tonight
in your antique gown.

It really is beautiful.

Where'd you get it?

It was in my grandmother's closet.

I just put it on and it fit.

You know, I've never really
been attracted to antiques,

I always like what's happening now.

Well, it belonged to my grandmother,
that's why I like it.

You've got sort of an Emma Peel

thing going there,
Anna, that's very retro.

Yeah, well, I pick up a
few things along the way.

Rae, I'd like a toast, a toast

to the chef, Rae, thank you so much.

Thank you, Rae.

Thanks, thanks very much.

And to the glorious hypocrisy

of the Thanksgiving feast.

And in the principles first embodied

in The Constitution, the rest we'll

just leave to that time-honored

commodity, historical amnesia.

Anna, you haven't eaten anything,
aren't you hungry?

Anna's never hungry.

Oh really, doesn't that put

a damper on your courtship, Sam?

Don't you always cook for your dates?

Now Rae, you're giving away
all of my techniques.

Now he's cultivating
the ill-health routine.

Oh yes, it's very sexy.

It's OK, Sam,
you already won me over.

Thank you, and you all...

With my manliness!

Sam and I went swimming today.

It wasn't so bad.

That's very sporty of you.

Is he all right?

Is he all right?

Oh, yeah, he just hasn't been
feeling well, lately.

Just a change in the weather.

That's weird that he just walked away.

How is that girlfriend of yours,
the painter?

Your father was fond of her.

Two tickets
for the ride of your life.

Oh my God, there you are.

We thought we lost you.

Did you see that?

Yeah, you frightened it.

What happened to you at dinner, anyway?

You disappeared.

Cramps.

Oh really, I got some pills
for that if you need.

No, I'm feeling better.

So, what's going on with you and Nick?

What?

You seem distracted.

It's a lot of things.

Oh, right. Your grandmother?

What is your deal, Anna?

Excuse me?

What do you do?

I don't believe Sam's ever told me.

I never told Sam.

Really?

You and Sam is absurd, I'm sorry.

Are you still carrying a torch for him?

I mean, hasn't it been quite some time

since he used to get drunk
and knock you around?

I mean, I don't know when you started

this thing about Rae, but I'll

tell you, I wouldn't
get too flip about it.

I mean, she's pretty together.

Yeah, I know.

Where is our little cast
of characters, anyway?

Our little starlets.

Rae went for a walk,
isn't that what you said?

Right, right, right.

It's a good thing too, I would hate

to think of them upstairs together.

They seem to dislike each other.

Yeah, what is that, anyway?

Have you ever noticed that Rae

is jealous of every girl you go out with?

That's in your head, man.

Open your eyes, man.

Jesus.

Ah, your dress is ruined.

You didn't like it, anyway.

I like you in it.

What is this, a come on?

Well, the setting's so right.

I've never gotten into that.

Oh?

Anyway, there's Nick.

Oh, is that all it is?

No, I don't trust you either.

Ah.

I don't, no, man...

This is all I need.

So, if it wasn't me,

and I wasn't

with Sam?

But, I am with Sam you know,

and he's with me.

We don't want to get into this.

Whoo.

I hope Rae is all right in this rain.

She should be back.

Look at this piece of shit note.

We're getting sticked
for the whole weekend,

they've gone back to New
York, they took the train!

What?

Nobody even woke me up.

Well, I can't wait, a whole
weekend being pissed off!

Exactly.

We close up the house and get out of here.

Hey.

We gotta do all the fuckin' dishes, man.

Sam, Jerry Lyons here.

I want to thank you again for the

other night and listen, I'd like

to have a word with you
about the young woman

you brought to the reception if you've

got a minute or two, give
me a call, we should talk.

Liza.

It's Sam.

Yeah, Sam?

Happy Holidays.

What's going on?

We didn't really get a chance to

talk, you kind of split on me.

Well, I mean I don't really need to

watch you stumble around with a hangover

Sam, you know I've done
that routine already.

I wasn't hungover, I'm sick.

What's the matter with you?

So Liza, do you want to

get together, just to hang out?

Um, I don't think so, Sam.

I haven't even seen
your place set up.

You know, I thought that if I just left

you alone for awhile, you'd try to

do something about your drinking Sam,

you know, decide what you
wanted to do with yourself.

I didn't think that you'd
be dating in 10 minutes.

I'm not dating someone,
I just met someone.

Well, I'm not mad at you if that's

what you're worried about,
you're off the hook.

Come on let me come by,
I'll bring a bottle of wine.

Whatever, I'll bring a bottle of seltzer.

Oh fuck, no, we'll
make it a bottle of wine.

Is that a yes?

Oh, Jesus! You scared me.

Sorry, I'm late Sam.

You weren't making other plans, were you?

What the fuck, Anna?

Don't be mad.

See.

What happened to you two last night?

We went for a walk, when we got

back, you were both passed out.

Oh.

Sam, did you not? Please don't.

Just be with me tonight, OK?

We didn't have our weekend together.

I gotta apologize.

Liza, are you there?

Just pick up.

I'm sorry, I'll call you later.

No one home?

I don't get you.

So, this is what you do, you pine

away over Liza when I'm not around.

I was giving her a call,
if you don't mind.

Sam, I don't want to have to compete

for your interest, it doesn't feel good.

Anna, I need some time
to work some stuff out.

I'm feeling really out of sorts.

I just, I don't think we should...

I just need some time.

I can give you time.

Anna, wait.

Did you say something?

I'm not saying anything.

Sam, don't worry about it, don't

lose any sleep over it, I'll get mine.

Anna...

I really...

I had a thing for you, I just
need some time, all right?

Right.

Here's your key, sorry.

Force of habit.

He can't see he's in
total denial about his father.

Sammy, boy.

Oh, on the fuckin' poop deck, man.

Already wasted?

So, you've known Rae a long time?

Like all conviction, the worst are

full of passion and intensity.

That should appeal to you
a little bit, right Sam?

That's the name given
the full moon in October.

Hunter, but it's mostly---.

A little bit at a time,
because I like you.

Sam?

Sam?

("Needle Men" by Rebecca Moore)

Hey Sam, I was downtown, thought

I'd swing by, offer you a beer.

No thanks man, I'll pass.

Yeah? What's the matter?

Are you sick?

You were pretty crazy
out there on the road.

I don't know, man,
I just feel like I'm fallin'

apart, like my fuckin'
health is failing me.

What's going on?

I mean, how do you feel?

I know what it is, man, it's

just so fuckin' weird,
I been afraid to tell you.

Yeah, what is it?

You're a mess.

It's about Anna.

Oh, God.

What?

Nothing, go on, what about Anna?

So, you know I broke up
with her last night.

That was quick, what's that been?

Two, three weeks?

Yeah, things went fast like that

fuckin' chick, she really messed with me

you know like an animal,
like a fuckin' parasite.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

No, you don't have any idea
what I mean, Nick.

Well, look Sam,
you broke it up with Liza

so you could be with
Anna, the mystery girl,

and now things are so fucked up, it's made

me realize what a turd you are and

it's made you ill, a sick person.

That's not what's going on.

Well, what is it?

You're being so mysterious.

What has transpired between you and

Anna that's making you so crazy?

Let me tell you this, man.

I'm all ears, Sam.

So listen man, like
that first night, right?

After the festival, so we're gettin' it on

in Battery Park and she bites into my lip.

I was wondering what that was,
I was afraid to ask.

No, I'm serious man, she's biting

into my lip to draw blood, so I said,

"What the fuck Anna, what are you doing?"

And she says, "Oh, just a
little bit at a time, Sam."

Sticks a finger in the cut
and like, licks the blood off.

So?

You don't understand man,
she does it like every time.

We'll be screwing or something

and she bites me and then
starts sucking the blood.

And what are you doing man?

Are you getting off?

I don't know man,
it's like totally amazing,

it's like nothing I've ever felt before.

It's like when we're screwing it's like

having warm milk running
through your veins or something.

What are you saying,
because she's biting you?

Yeah, I'll wake up and
I'll have this puncture mark

on my arm or my chest or something.

I don't get it, I mean,
if she's biting you

in these different places and then she's

sucking your blood, actively sucking it?

Yeah, and then I started
feeling sick like this

and I started to wonder 'cause
of what happened to Lenny.

Wait a minute, what does
Lenny have to do with this?

I'm tellin' you man, before he

disappeared, he was sick the same way.

Hold on now, Sam.

No, I'm serious man, I mean, at first

I was goin' with it 'cause
it was kind of cool.

I mean, it's not...

I don't know, it's just
like our little thing.

Like me and Anna, right?

And then I started feeling sick like

this and out of it and I started

to realize this fucking chick is like

drinking my blood in a way
that's affecting my health.

Sam, you should've stayed in the arts.

You have such a fertile imagination,

such a propensity for gothic melodrama.

I mean, seeing you work in a restaurant

is like, well, to use your beloved guy

is like Cyrano without his plume.

Fuck you, Nick.

No, fuck you.

I mean, what is this
concoction you've come up with?

That Anna is drinking your blood

and that she's drinking Lenny's blood?

You haven't gave a fuck
about Lenny disappearing.

Lenny is always disappearing,

he's an irresponsible fuck.

No, man, it was Anna.

That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Anna what?

What are you really trying to say, Sam?

That Anna is sucking your blood

and that she's sucking Lenny's blood?

Are you trying to tell
me that Anna's a vampire?

Get a fucking grip, man.

Listen, I know it's absurd, but I swear

to God man, I've never seen her eat,

I've never seen her drink, I've never

seen her smoke, I've never seen

her once, not once, in the daylight.

I've never seen her take a shit
or piss, for Christ's sake.

And for that, she's a fucking vampire?

Because she won't shit in front of you?

I'm not telling you
she's a vampire, man.

I'm not asking you to
believe she's a vampire,

I mean, vampire.

Well, maybe she thinks she's a vampire,

maybe she thinks that you think that she's

a vampire and that's getting you two off.

Listen man, I'm just telling you what

I know that this chick does, right?

She drinks blood!

Vampires do not exist,
Sam, and it is unfortunate.

They would provide much diversion from

the miseries of life, many
in which you have effectively

avoided since your mother passed away

and left you that little nest egg.

You reveal yourself, Nick.

Nevermind that then.

I would prefer to make this point.

Vampirism is everywhere.

It is hiding in our hearts, Sam.

It is at the bottom of
a bottle or a needle

in the arm, it is 500 channels

of insipid cultural dribble.

The advertising and gluttony, draining

us of our ability to think.

It is the insidious Faustian bargains

we make every day.

The little compromises
that eat at our soul

but believe me, it is not to
be found embodied in Anna.

She's not that deep.

Hey, maybe she does drink
blood, I don't know.

She probaby belongs to one of those

blood-sucking cults or whatever they are,

but believe me, she is not a vampire.

And you, Sam, had better pull yourself

out of this rut you're going through.

God forbid, maybe lay
off the booze for awhile

or whatever it takes to
pull yourself together.

And if she's been biting you,
I'd get a fucking AIDS test.

Sounds like very unsafe
sex you've been having.

You disappoint me, Nick, man.

I can't even talk to
you, you're so fuckin'...

It's like you got the shade down.

Sam, what do you want me to say?

I mean, really.

I just want to tell you
the shit that's been goin' on.

Sure.

Have you say,
you know, "It's all right."

Yeah, Sam.

And, "It's over."

It's over, Sam, you're gonna be fine.

I'm scared man, I feel
like I'm cracking up.

Listen, come have a
drink with us, Rae and me.

I told you man, I'm not drinking.

You should be drinking, it's probably

the best thing for a man in your shoes.

Why don't you just get out of here?

Sure, you take care of yourself.

Maybe you are really sick.

Like, maybe you should talk to someone.

I will Nick, you can come
visit me at The Creedmoor.

Look, Sam, your father
died two months ago,

he'd been away, he stopped calling.

It looks like he died
on a binge or something,

you're feeling unresolved,
you've got a right to.

Look, all I'm trying
to say is I don't think

Anna is your problem, OK?

I hear you, dude.

All right.

Look, take care, OK?

Call me, and tell me
what Freud has to say.

Mutt?

Mutt.

Yo, mutt.

Oh, crap.

Liza, Liza, it's Sam.

Listen, I'm in trouble,
you gotta come over.

OK, please?

OK, I think I'm cracking up.

Liza.

Liza?

I remember you.

Have you seen Liza,
the woman that lives here?

I don't want no trouble here.

Liza?

Liza, Liza, Liza.

There's trouble
at the neighbor's apartment.

That's right, picking the lock.

That's right, I heard a lot of voices.

He's still in there, that's right.

You're gonna catch him if you hurry.

Anna's sucking your

blood, she's sucking Lenny's blood?

I'll never forget her.

Are you trying to tell me

that Anna's a vampire?

Get a fucking grip.

What are you really trying to say, Sam?

That Anna's sucking your blood

and sucking Lenny's blood?

How is that girlfriend of yours,
the painter?

Your father was fond of her.

Are you trying to tell me

that Anna's a vampire?

Get a fucking grip.

I don't want to have to compete

for your interest, it doesn't feel good.

How is that girlfriend of yours,
the painter?

This is a crucial moment.

Leave a message for Nick
or Rae after the beep.

Nick, it's Sam.

Listen man, give me a call at my

father's house, all right?

I'm serious man, I'm in deep shit.

Sam?

Nick?

Nick?

Hello, this is Anna.

Oh hi Liza, Sam told me about you.

So, you want to talk to him?

Sam, Liza's on the phone for you.

It's not possible!

Sam?

He's in the bathroom, he won't come

out, can he call you back?

How'd you find us?

Well,

Liza, listen I'm really worried about

him, he's locked himself in the bathroom,

he's not coming out, I don't know,

he said he's sick so
maybe you can come by.

Ow, no more, no.

Ow!

No more.

Just wait out here.

Just a little bit curious.

Have a taste.

How it feels.

- Drink, Sam.
- No.

Sam?

Sam?

Sam!

Sam?

Sam?

Sam.

Sam?

Sam.

Ow.

Sam.

Sam!

No!

Somebody call an ambulance.

Call an ambulance.
