Oh, damn it, Eric. Can't you read?

Look, it's C, B, B -flat, D. You're not stretching your fingers.

My fingers are cramping up on me, Paul.

Of course they're going to cramp up on you if you don't practice.

What do you want me to do?

I want you to care about your music.

That's what I want you to do. I want you... Please, Eric, listen.

You're good.

You're damn good. You've got the talent.

But you don't work at it.

You know, I think you're lazy.

Give me a break, Paul. I had things to do.

You think the conservatory's going to give you a break?

Well, fuck the conservatory. Oh, come on. Listen, even if I get the audition,

I'm not sure I'm going to go down there. And you're the one who put me up in the

first place, not me.

Yes, I put you up for it, because I thought you wanted as much as I did in

very beginning.

Well...

Tell me something. What in the hell do you want?

Oh, I gotta go to work.

See you later.

Dewey, go to work.

Just get the hell out of my hair for a while.

Hey, that's my man.

Thanks.

You like him, don't you?

hey what a guy hey what a guy just showed up here's a

clean glass this time schmucko look who's here

On time for a change?

Yeah.

What kind of, uh... I... What's that?

I mean, I should go.

Hey.

Tommy, how you doing? Hey, pretty good.

What's happening?

I don't know. Saving lives, is it?

Yeah, it was pretty slow out there, man.

Oh, there was this one old fat old broad, though. She got caught in a

Sucked her right on out.

What'd you do? You keep her? You throw her back?

Oh, I let her go, man. I was eating lunch.

Hey, Eric, what the hell happened to you today, man? You missed the volleyball

tournament. I was taking care of business.

Oh, business like maybe Monica pulling your chain business?

Get off Monica's case. Oh, she's all right.

Speaking of Monica, she asked me if, uh...

You could get me some of that Colombian.

No problem.

How much you want?

An Aussie? You got it.

Good. Bring it around tomorrow, man.

We could do a little playing instead of just taking up space.

Me?

You want me to play?

Hey, boss, I thought you'd never ask.

You're the only one.

Play a love song for me.

Sweetie, listen, I got a Porsche out in my parking lot.

It looks good in it. Why don't I buy a little drink and we discuss where we'd

like to go?

I think I'm going to be sick.

Please don't.

Come on, give it a try. Just one little drink won't hurt you.

Really? Sure.

Bring it up, Laura.

The Porsche's all he's got.

Sorry.

Hello, ladies.

These are for you.

Thank you.

May I sit down?

Sure. I love your style.

I also like your tip.

I like that.

Director.

I like that.

Laura. Laura.

Be right back, okay?

Come on, darling.

Let's go.

Now we're ready.

Hurry, where are we going?

Oh yeah, well great, but we have to take our time here.

My name is Eric.

Hi Eric, I'm Laura.

Nice, vicious cock.

Oh, you're so nice. You're just so close. You're going to have to do this

often.

Oh.

Oh, you're such a fast thing.

Not hot.

Oh, that's it. Yes.

Get on the couch.

I always thought you were cute.

Your friend the piano man is cute too.

I got you all.

Uh -huh.

Oh.

Oh, that's hot.

Oh God.

I heard there's a new club opening soon.

Yeah? Where?

Some place up on 3rd Street, I think.

Wouldn't it be great if the job was there?

With me singing and you playing piano?

We'd be stars.

Up there in front of everybody.

Yeah.

Can you imagine being up there?

Everybody would be seeing us. Everybody would be watching us.

You know, you really ought to get some new tape.

All you have here is classical stuff.

Whatever happened with that kid's tape I loaned you?

I gave it back to you.

Oh, yeah, I forgot.

Maybe we should get a hold of Judy and Zeke, and maybe Zeke too.

I mean, wouldn't we make a better impression if we had a band behind us?

Maybe. Listen, I know the band didn't work last time, but I'm sure this time

will.

Maybe.

How come you're so down?

What's the matter with you lately?

I don't know.

I'm fine.

I'm okay.

Yeah, well, you could have fooled me.

I think it's all that long -haired stuff you've been into playing lately.

That put me down, too.

I don't know why you waste your time with all those lessons.

I can understand the standards that we have to play for the bar, but

It's so funny.

What?

It's Chopin.

Chopin. Say it for me.

Chopin. Good.

Good. I like Chopin.

He's a wonderful composer. I like it.

Well, we'll see how much you like it after the band's back together and we're

working up that new club.

Just think of it, honey.

All that publicity we're going to get from the club opening.

And maybe there'll be record people there.

And then maybe we could, maybe we could find somebody to help us make a record.

We'd be stars, baby.

Is that the only way to shut you up?

I don't think we'll need these two.

What do I want?

Thank you.

Like the trains in Italy.

Do you

feel

better? Much.

Did you miss me?

Of course.

Did you get me anything?

Oh, Charles.

Go ahead, open it. What is it?

Go ahead, open it.

Oh.

They're beautiful.

Oh,

Charles. Here.

I can get it.

Let me see the mirror.

Oh, they look gorgeous.

They are magnificent.

Oh, so sweet.

What about your wife?

Laura's not expecting me until later this afternoon.

Oh, that's... Great, we have loads of time.

I look forward to seeing you

I miss you so much when you're not in town.

I would love for me to suck on your cock.

Would you like that?

I'd love it, Vicki.

Why don't you get up on the bed?

Oh, that feels wonderful.

Yeah, beautiful.

Oh, yes, Vicky.

Sit on the dome.

That's right.

Oh, you tight little pussy.

It's beautiful.

I've been waiting for you so long.

Put it in.

Oh.

And right back.

I got me this cute little beef brat up there. He gets those lifeguards.

Don't worry, listen.

Last night, picked up a girl at the bar, right?

Yeah, Helen. She's mine, too, so forget it. Don't worry.

It's not like that.

I slept with a friend last night. Oh, yeah?

Yeah. I couldn't get up in the morning. I got up, and she was gone.

And they were number nothing. It was one of those. So, uh, you know, I thought

maybe you could help me out here.

Listen, oh, I know. Try the Bermuda House spa.

Helen told me that she goes there.

Go on down there and ask her for the Laura's number yourself.

Good.

All right, thanks, buddy.

But listen, Helen's mine. Don't forget.

No, there's no problem there, really. Okay. Listen, I owe you one. Okay, see

later, buddy.

there to mark the spot

All tanned. Sweet.

Let's turn around in the chair.

Oh, my neck went through so hard, baby.

Oh, I'm sorry, baby.

Oh,

my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

Get right on that hard cock.

Is there, is there a Helen Madigan here anywhere?

Oh, yeah. Oh, Helen! Over there.

Thank you. Thank you.

Helen?

Oh,

hi. You're the piano player.

I was told that I could find you here.

I'm looking for Laura.

How did you find me here anyway?

Well, Tommy told me.

Tommy? Oh, he's fine.

Did you bring him with you?

No, no, I didn't bring him with me. Tommy's out lifeguarding today. I was

with him.

Anyway, he told me that I could probably find you here.

Well, now that you've tracked me down, Piano Man, what can I do for you?

Well, you could give me Laura's number.

No, no, no. You don't understand, you see.

We slept together last night, but this morning she... Hey, I don't want to hear

any details. You guys probably had a lot of fun knowing Maura.

And you're probably a really nice guy. But if she didn't give you her phone

number, she probably had her own reasons, you know?

Okay. Sorry.

I'll give you my number, and you give it to her, okay?

Okay. But I can't make any promises that she'll call you.

Just promise me you'll give her the number, okay? Okay, I'll do that.

Do you have a pen, phone, paper?

Now, John, where would I keep that stuff?

Come on. They probably have something in there.

You'll never guess who I just ran into.

Who? Your piano man from last night. So that's what happened to you, huh?

You didn't tell him I was here, did you?

No, but he asked for your phone.

Did you give it to him?

No, but I got his right here.

And I think he definitely wants to see you again, too.

Hello?

Oh, hiya, Larry.

No, nothing's wrong.

I was just expecting another phone call.

Oh, no, thanks. I can't tonight. I got to work.

Why don't you come out by the bar and buy your drink?

Yeah, I'll buy.

Okay, good.

Yeah, there.

Hi,

Lenny. Here's to our manager today.

You ready?

Hi, Eric.

Hello, Julie.

Julie, that's two.

How you doing, Julie?

There's some wine in the kitchen if you want to get it.

You're really

stoned, aren't you?

What have you been doing?

Nothing. Just hanging out.

Come on. What have you been doing?

Nothing. We just thought we'd come over to cheer you up.

You've been on such a bummer lately.

Besides, Judy knows the guy that owns the new club.

She said she'd interview me.

Oh, yeah, Irv. Oh, he's a great guy.

He knows all the records.

Yeah.

So how's, uh, how's Steve?

I don't know. I don't care.

I haven't even seen him.

Come on.

What are you doing?

I don't want any wine. I don't want any smoke.

Come on. Come on.

Oh,

right. We got things to do, too.

Be careful with that wine. No!

Why would we spill it?

Oh,

poor baby.

You're driving me crazy coming over.

Quietly.

Baby,

use your tongue.

Oh, somebody's fucking quick.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's Laura.

No, don't stop by.

Where did you learn that?

Oh, this has been one of my favorite pieces since I was a child.

Gotta be one of the luckiest men in the world.

Not only am I falling in love with a beautiful woman, but you appreciate the

same type of music that I do.

Ladies, you sit and watch me each and every night.

And I'm wondering what's on your mind.

Can you take a guess at what's on mine?

You play the song that's right for you.

I'm in the mood for more romance.

The music dies, but I don't want...

We ride the rhythm straight through the night, making music

the way it should be.

Baby, won't you come here to me?

Hello man, I like to watch the way your fingers play,

moving gently they begin to stay, making melodies along

the way.

Lady, you sit and watch me each and every night,

and I'm wondering what's on your mind.

Can you take a guess at what's on my mind?

You play the dove. I play the dove that's right for you.

I'm in the mood for more romance.

The music's tight, but I don't want to dance.

Come lay here beside me.

Lady,

I want you with me each and every night.

Oh, won't you come away with me?

Together we are harmony.

Together we are harmony.

Together we are harmony.

So three years ago after my father died, I married Charles.

He was good to my family and kind to me.

So has it changed now?

It was good the first year.

But... I don't know. His business got to be too important and... He doesn't have

time for me anymore.

For us.

I've become a possession.

I know he has other women.

So why don't you just leave him?

I can't leave.

I love him.

Do you?

Do you really love him?

What are you scared of?

I think you'd better go, okay?

Charles should be home soon.

No, but I want to see you again.

I don't know about all this, Eric. I just can't deal with all of it.

Well, there's nothing to deal with, really. We just see each other, that's

Look, I just think you'd better go, okay? Please.

Go around through that way. I don't want you to come back through the house.

Well, I do want to see you again.

I'll call you.

For Christ's sake, Laura, would you please stop it? I'm trying to get some

done.

I need to talk to you, Charles.

Give me a good time with you for a minute.

I'm busy. We'll talk later.

Maybe tomorrow.

That, on the recommendation of yours truly, Eric Lewis

is invited to audition for the Board of Governors for the Conservatory of Music

on April 27th at 11 a .m. in the morning.

auditory auditorium before a panel of distinguished judges.

How about that, Hotshot?

It's perfect, too.

27th.

That's only 10 days away.

So?

I'm not ready.

I'm not ready to do it. Oh, come on. That's a lot of bullshit.

Listen, you probably better call them and cancel them because I'm not good

enough. Oh, come on, will you? You're good enough, all right.

Eric, you know what your problem is? You're not ready to make a commitment.

That's your big problem.

You're not ready to work for something. You've had it easy all your life.

Everything's come falling right in your lap, and you're just too lazy to work

for it.

Bullshit.

I'm not lazy. It's a crack -up. Oh, yeah? Is it?

You're a good pianist, old friend.

A very good pianist. But what do you do with it?

Huh? What do you do with it? All night long, you go to some sleazy piano bar

with a bunch of drums and play there.

And then hang out on the beach all day chasing cunt.

I come here and practice.

Sure you do, but you don't take it seriously.

It's all a whim, a fad. Something just to pass your time with.

Eric, look.

Use your talent.

Go to that audition.

This is your chance to make something of your life.

Monica, how's that outfit going for you?

Well, I think it's a little small.

Come in here. Let me have a look at it and see.

Well, that's small about that. That's exactly what we wanted. Something skimpy

like that.

That makes the boys' mouths dry. It makes them buy that booze, baby.

Every club I've ever had, girls wore outfits like that, and it's been a

success. Why?

Because of outfits like that.

Don't you think it's a little short?

Maybe if they wanted to see Victorian fashions, they could go visit the Queen

England. That's what sells booze.

Are you sure this is legal?

It's legal, and if it's not legal, I've got friends with the police department.

We'll not have any troubles like that.

You wear that outfit and sing in my club, I'll let your boyfriend play

Then it's a deal?

Have a toot on it?

All right.

Got some good shit.

I try to keep a little stuff on hand for my special friends.

Am I a special friend?

Could be.

I can't believe that it was this easy.

I reckon I got a job.

Hold on, wait a second.

Monica, I'm a businessman, and I have to do things in a business -like fashion.

When I do something for someone... I expect that he'll do something for me.

What do you mean?

I think you get the picture.

I got the picture.

Oh, it's nice.

Mmm.

My goodness. This looks like this is gonna prove to be a mighty interesting

evening. Mmm.

Baby, that's good pussy there.

Sure is going to be swell having a nice little hot piece like you around.

Come up here and sing for your supper any time.

Did you enjoy yourself these past few evenings, my dear?

What are you talking about?

You know perfectly well what I'm talking about.

Did you have fun with your piano player tonight?

Look, Charles, I'm really tired.

Can we talk about this tomorrow?

Tired? What a shame.

Didn't you hear I'm having a party tonight?

You're the haunted guest.

What are you doing?

Let's move. Stop. You're hurting me. Stop.

Don't worry about it, Mark.

It'll soon be over.

What are you going to do to me? Don't worry.

Get undressed.

Get undressed!

A little more sensuality.

It's very magical.

Very nice tonight, Dad.

Very nice.

Now

lie

down.

Lie down.

Just lie down.

Go ahead and put your coat on.

I don't want

to see them get

hard, you understand?

this hand to play with your tit.

That's right.

Try that inside.

You know, I should have realized years ago that only a fool marries a whore

he can rent.

You bet.

Now this, darling, Is a whore.

Do you recognize yourself?

Kiss my dick.

You're crazy.

I'm not going anywhere.

Sit down and enjoy the show.

I want you to watch very carefully, darling.

Because you're going to need technique like this in a few years.

You understand?

No, I don't understand you.

You better start understanding me.

For years you've been a whore with my money.

Now you'll have to learn to make your own.

It's not such a hard thing to do.

Sit down and watch.

Relax.

Just watch, yeah.

Why make love when you can always fuck for fun?

Good, isn't it?

No, it isn't. Great.

I thought I should have married you.

Charles, I can't take this anymore.

Let me show her, huh, baby?

Uh huh.

Yeah.

Where the hell have you been, Eric?

What are you doing here, Monica?

What do you mean, what am I doing here?

I've been trying to find you for days. Where have you been?

I've been busy.

What?

I've been busy.

Yeah.

Well, who is she?

Who the hell are you to come barging in here like this? What do you mean, who

the hell am I?

I've been working my tail off trying to get the band going.

I even got us an audition with the new rock club.

Well, who told you to do that?

You did.

We had plans, Eric.

Wait a second.

Wait a second.

You had plans.

I didn't have any plans.

I'm tired of this whole thing, Monica.

I'm just sick and tired. It's all a downhill slide to me now.

The music, rock and roll.

The band... I'm tired of coasting through life.

We've been together.

Come on, you know how horny I get with you.

Stop it.

It doesn't work for me anymore.

The whole thing.

I'm gonna change.

Yeah, I know it's late, Paul, I know, but I had to talk.

Listen, do you still have that invitation to the conservatory?

Yeah, I'm going.

Great.

I'll be right over.

Charles what, my dear?

Laura, I'm leaving town. I want you to come with me.

Don't do this to me, please. You know I can't come with you. Yes, you can come

with me if you want to.

I believe my wife said she doesn't wish to be with you. This is none of your

business. Now, you just stay out of it.

I love you, and I think you love me.

Please come with me.

Oh, Eric.

Look, this man... This man couldn't possibly love you.

I think we've had enough of this.

Please come with me.

I'm going to wait five minutes, Laura.

Please come with me.

I love you.

I told you so.
