Original subtitles

Don't treat me like I'm stupid, Bob.

That's all ll ask. OK? Please.

You're really something.

You're home getting dressed for two hours.

You don't say a goddamn word.

We get into the restaurant, and out of nowhere--

Are you saying you weren't with this woman?

Yes, I was. I was having lunch. So what?

But Teddy didn't see you with your arm around her?

Don't interrogate me, Judith, or I swear to God--

Teddy saw you with your arm around her.

He said you were just leaving when he spotted you.

Look, I'm not an idiot, all right?

I know it must have looked a little strange...

with me here with some woman, close friend of mine sees me.

Even though it was innocent, lact as if it wasn't...

so I say some stupid little thing out of nervousness.

You weren't nervous.

You stood there and told the "three doctors" joke.

So, what, is that our joke?

Fuck you.

Let's stop it, all right?

Don't act like I'm nuts.

You stood there and told a joke that takes at least two minutes.

You have to do the pediatrician, the psychiatrist, the accents.

All right, you win.

It's so important for you to win.

You stood there and told a joke with accents...

to my best friend's husband with this woman hanging on you...

and they laughed, and you just loved it.

You weren't nervous. Don't treat me like I'm crazy.

What did I do wrong? I1told a joke.

I had lunch with a female colleague.

She's a doctor?

Pediatrics.

Then why did I have to find out from Ann?

Why didn't you tell me? That's all I'm saying.

That's not all you're saying.

What do you think, I'm gonna be crushed?

Like after almost 20 years, I don't know you?

You loved that Teddy saw you.

You loved him thinking something was going on...

with some--What is she, 30?

She's 34.

Life...

is lonely...

again.

And only...

last year...

everything seemed...

SO sure.

Now life...

is awful...

again.

A trough full...

of hearts...

could only be...

a bore.

A week...

in Paris...

will ease...

the bite of it...

all.

Alll care...

is to smile...

in spite of it.

I'll forget you...

1 will.

While yet you...

are still...

burning inside...

my brain.

Romance...

is mush...

stifling those...

who strive.

I II---

live a lush life...

in some small...

dive.

And there...

I'll be...

while I rot...

with the rest...

of those...

whose...

lives are...

lonely...

too.

Send it up.

- Hi. - Hi.

...to investigate the likelihood of terrorist attacks...

on American soil in the coming century.

A rise in the number of infants...

born addicted to crack and cocaine...

has one community outraged over what they feel...

is the city's lack of commitment...

to reduce drug-trafficking...

and to provide funds for the care of these children...

often abandoned--

Awful. What's the use of all this information?

What am I supposed to do about crack babies?

Terrorism? I can't stand those terrorists.

They're so mad at everybody. I wish they'd get over it.

Maybe I should adopt a crack baby...

educate it, give it a chance.

Oh, shut up. I'm gonna raise an inner-city child here?

I can't stand the people in this building...

with their jeeps and their loafers.

And stuck-up private school kids would tease my crack baby.

No one would play with him.

Awful. What do they expect me to do with this information?

What am I supposed to do?

Excuse me. Are you OK?

Is everything all right?

I was...

You OK? Here. Want a handkerchief?

Thank you. That's very nice of you.

It's a very gentlemanly thing to do.

I just see you here. It's a nice day.

It's beautiful. Verrazano bridge.

- It's gorgeous. - The moon is out.

Oh, ain't this some beautiful picture?

Ain't this charming over here?

Romeo and Juliet!

- Wait. - Don't say a fuckin' thing!

- Fuck you! - Oh, fuck me?

This man is a gentleman! Unlike you!

He is nothing! He's a piece of shit!

OK. I'm gonna go.

- I got to live my own life! - You cocksucker!

I will do whatever the fuck I want to! Go ahead! Hit me!

- Why you always keep me waiting? - Hey, Stevie.

Got a thing about me waiting?

Vic, I already got a wife. Get off my ass.

Where's the rest?

1 got caught a little short this week.

You're gambling?

I'm not gambling.

If Santi finds out you're fooling with his money--

The social security number was screwed up on my paycheck.

You want me to manufacture money?

Santi wants the money paid in full on time.

You got the rest of the afternoon.

1 got a double shift at 4:00.

- I can't make it today. - Get it to me by 4:00.

Say hello to your brother for me, will ya?

Excuse me.

Are you the nurse for the Francada girl?

- Yes, ll am. - I'm her father.

I wondered if you could fill me in on what's going on.

Does this mean that she's not in remission anymore?

Your wife has all that information...

and she's in the room if you'd like to speak to her.

If you'd just take some extra care...

I know you've got a lot of patients to care for.

If you'd just give her extra care, I'd appreciate it.

We're gonna do that anyway. We really will.

- Now you put that away. - OK. All right.

If you want to go her room, you can.

Thank you.

You've aggravated me so much I can't even swallow.

I can't take this shit.

Then go. My life is over.

I've got no life!

- Don't do me any favors. - No life, Ma! You hear me?

Won't be here long. I'll be dead soon.

When? I want a date.

I wanna make reservations for Club Med.

You see how she talks to me?

Bury me now. Don't wait. I'll die later.

I don't want to waste anybody's time.

Judith, she don't want you here no more.

She don't want a nurse or a retirement home.

She wants me to take care of her 24 hours a day and work...

while my goddamn sisters...

sit on their fat asses and do nothing.

They have their own lives!

See? Did you hear that?

And I got nothin'.

I am so stressed.

Donna, go to work, please.

All right.

I raised three daughters.

I had a no-good, worthless husband...

didn't give me one day of peace.

Did I complain?

Every fuckin' day.

You see that mouth? You hear that mouth?

Oh, dear God, take me.

You mind if ll ask you? You're divorced, right?

You got any kind of life?

Any children?

How long were you married?

Sixteen years.

What, you couldn't get caught?

We didn't want any.

Sweetheart, I got to be honest.

Maybe it's me.

Maybe I'm too selfish. Maybe I don't love kids enough.

I know that sounds awful.

I just...

I just don't want to. I'm sorry.

If that's how you feel, it's not your fault.

It's just...

I mean...

what are we gonna do with all this space?

What? Only people with kids can have country houses?

Listen to me.

I love our life. I really do.

We can do whatever we want.

We have money. We can travel.

Not everybody has to have kids to have a good life.

There aren't many things in this life can ruin a woman.

We're very strong creatures God made...

but men--ooh, men could do it every time.

There's a deuce.

What the hell are you still here for?

There's a whore.

Two pair, possible full house.

As usual.

There's a flush.

Possible full bets. Pat's bet.

Let's make it interesting.

What are you, a fucking communist?

Twenty, huh?

All right, I call.

I'm in.

Straight. To the nine.

Oh! Looks like a winner.

Here we go, straight to the toilet.

- What do you got? - Full boat.

Oh! Jesus Christ!

Where did you get that poker ass?

Let me see that big ass.

- What do you do? - I read the signs, my friend.

What's the saying? "Unlucky in love, lucky in poker"?

If the gods want me to win, I must oblige.

Hey, Pattie, read my ass, all right?

- Ante up. My deal. - You gotta lose sometimes.

My Last one. 1 gotta be at work at 4:00.

You working?

Just until my inheritance kicks in.

Where you living now?

With my brother.

Wife throws him out after 25 years.

You mean she didn't know he was a piece of shit after 10?

That's tough.

Thanks for bringing that up. Just shit on my winning streak.

That's terrible.

Next you're gonna tell us you're working for your brother.

Now I'm really getting the horns.

Your brother makes a nice dollar.

What good's making a good dollar if you don't spend it after?

I watched that place run my parents into the ground.

It's doing the same thing to my brother Philly.

It won't happen to me. I'm no bartender.

- He makes a good dollar. - I know.

How's your daughter? Still in that school?

Lisa's doing good.

She's terrific.

Are you loving that book?

I am. I've never read her before.

I think that's her best.

It's so beautiful and tragic.

I love the character.

I love the name. Lily Bart.

It's just devastating what happens, though.

Are you at the Riviera yet?

Just wait.

Can I skip to it now?

Be good.

Enjoy.

So he says...

So he says...

You're right.

You have to do the pediatrician, the psychiatrist, the accents...

I1told a joke.

What is she, 30? Some 30-year-old?

She's 34.

If it's so innocent, why didn't you tell me?

I'm not mad. I just want the truth.

It's very simple.

Now you told me. I understand. It's over.

Let's not drag this on forever.

That's all I'm saying. I'm not mad or anything.

Why didn't you tell me?

How can I when I haven't got the money?

You're a liar!

Get out of here!

Merchant Beach, Florida was the hardest hit...

by hurricane Ross.

The property damage is estimated to exceed $370 million.

Roman Catholics are protesting a recent article...

in an independent newsletter called Sanity...

distributed on college campuses across the country.

The article lists what Sanity editors term...

"assaults on humanity..."

supported by the Roman Catholic Church...

as well as the inability of church leaders to admit guilt.

It was all to point out the many apologies made...

by either the pope or the church...

between 1992 and 1997...

asking why it took 450 years...

for the church to express guilt over condoning...

and 2,000 years to express regret...

over the church's stance against women's rights.

In local news...

an upper eastside woman plunged to her death this evening...

after having dinner at La Goulue.

Judith Moore, former wife of Dr. Robert Nelson...

a renowned cardiologist at New York Hospital...

drank a martini with two ibuprofen tablets...

wrapped a colored banner around her neck...

and jumped out the window seven floors above Fifth Avenue.

In a bizarre twist of events...

her body fell on her former husband and his new wife...

as they were walking home from a benefit...

at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

All three were killed.

The day in sports and a look at Wall Street coming up...

She's not coming up with us, is she?

We had lunch. She's dropping me off.

- Is that all right with you? - Bob, please.

I'm actually glad this happened.

I just want to say one thing before I leave.

I know this is painful, and...

I'm very sorry for how this happened.

It was never my intention to break up a home.

I'm not that kind of person.

I come from a good, solid family.

My parents have been together 37 years.

I would never intentionally hurt...

or destroy another person's life.

Wow. You sound great.

Can I fuck you?

A hospital spokesperson said...

doctors are confident the child will make a full recovery.

Police, currently investigating...

see little hope of identifying the child.

You slut.

Since the location suggests...

What's wrong with you? Are you nuts?

Remember Looking for Mr. Goodbar?

Co-op boards across the city...

are voting for an increase in maintenance fees...

and stricter financial requirements...

for potential tenants.

More on that story when we return.

If they raise the maintenance, I'm dead.

I'll have to move. God, where would ll go?

I can't live on the outskirts of Manhattan at my age.

What if I wind up in Queens? Alone and wrinkled in Queens.

What if I can't work?

What if I'm in a cab, and a suicidal terrorist driver...

detonates himself in front of Bergdorf's...

to protest shopping and Satan, and I'm paralyzed.

I'll have to go to one of those shelters.

I'll be sitting in a cot with my wheelchair and my luggage.

I wonder if you can bring luggage to shelters?

I wonder if people who go to shelters have luggage?

It's ridiculous what you have to go through.

Interviews for a 5-year-old? Reference letters?

Yeah, but if she gets in, it'll be worth it.

Susan says, academically, it is the best lower school.

Susan says.

I am so sick of people's opinions.

I wish everyone would just shut up.

Goin' out of my head thinking about you, babe.

Oh, over you.

Goin' out of my head while I'm going without you, babe.

Isee you...

each morning...

but you just walk past me.

You don't even know that I exist.

Goin' out of my head...

over you.

Goin' out of my head...

over you.

Goin' out of my head...

every time.

1 got to tell you how I feel one day--

wrong or right.

And I think I'm goin" out of my head...

night and day and night.

- Rita. - Look who's here.

How are you?

- Scotch, Barry. - You were great.

Well, thank you.

Look a little sad tonight. You alone?

I don't know anybody on the upper westside.

Where are you from?

Upper eastside.

My husband left me.

Our friends were his friends.

I haven't really spoken to anyone--

I mean, really spoken to anyone.

I feel so invisible. Sometimes, I forget I'm here.

I was married.

My husband cheated on me left and right.

And it made me feel like I was crazy all the time.

One day, he tells me...

it's my fault he saw other women.

So I picked up a knife and told him...

it was his fault I was stabbing him.

1did a little jail time, but it was worth it.

Now I'm free...

and he is scared shitless of me.

That's great.

I wish I would have stabbed my husband.

I used to be dangerous. I don't know what happened.

I got so scared.

What's so important about living longer and feeling safe?

Look who's here.

How are you?

You were great.

Ladies' room?

- I'm so sorry. - What are you doing?

I'm really--1 thought you were somebody else.

I thought you were the bathroom.

Jeez.

I was expecting--

I'm really, really sorry. Are you all right?

I've been waiting in here for half an hour.

She said she'd be a few minutes. I--

Where is she?

She's in the bar with her husband.

But I knew her first, though.

She-- mean, we broke up. I don't remember why.

I bet she does.

I do. So do ll. I'm just lying.

I mean, I haven't really been with anybody since her.

It's just that-- See, ll left her--

I lost an argument, and she--

I walked away like it didn't matter.

Then I see her here tonight...

Let me ask you something.

Do you think she was trying to get back at me?

1 don't know.

I'm really sorry about before. I...

It was an accident.

Good night.

You must think I'm easy.

Do you come here a lot?

Tonight's not a good night to get together.

Is there any chance that you'll be here...

a week from tonight?

There's a chance.

I'm sorry. I didn't realize it was so late.

How are you tonight?

Fine.

It's a beautiful night out.

So warm.

I'm sorry. I forgot your name.

Hi. I'm Mrs. Nelson. Actually, Miss Moore.

I was Mrs. Nelson when I lived here with my husband...

but he doesn't live here anymore...

and if you see any mail for him...

you can just throw it out.

Are you new?

A few months.

Thank you. Have a good night.

Oh. Someone dropped this.

That's mine. It must have fell out.

She's very pretty. Your daughter?

She looks like you.

Really?

Most people said she looked like my wife.

What?

Well, you see...

my daughter died recently.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

Thank you.

It's OK. Are you all right?

Thank you.

Good night.

I was going to make some coffee.

Would you like a cup?

This is great coffee.

Well, this is...

This is very nice. Thank you.

Oh, please. I didn't feel like going to sleep anyway.

I haven't been sleeping much myself.

That's understandable.

She was a good kid.

She was a senior-- her fourth year...

at the High School of Performing Arts.

What did she want to be?

A singer.

She had a great voice. She got that from me.

You know, it's really funny...

that things that are inside of you...

that never come out...

and then they come out in your kids.

It's...

She was like, uh...

It was like she was the adult...

and I was the kid. She was the older one.

She used to give me advice.

She'd say, "Daddy, why don't you talk nice to mommy?"

"Daddy...

"maybe you should get a job."

"Daddy, don't take a hit with 17...

"when the dealer's got six showing."

That's something I taught her.

I miss her so much.

I don't care what anybody says.

You never...

You know...

So, you got rid of your prick husband.

Good for you.

I'm sorry. I can't...

I shouldn't have said that.

I don't even know the guy.

Yes, you do.

So you think you'll ever marry again?

I'm not thinking about that now.

I want to go back to medical school.

That's where ll met my husband.

He became a cardiologist.

I became a nurse and a cardiologist's wife.

But I'm going back...

and I'm going to finish this time...

and I'm going to become a pediatrician.

Good for you.

I--That is terrific.

I think it's great when people who have money...

get jobs anyway.

You've been dragged through the mud by some guy.

Your life's in a fuckin' shambles.

You pick yourself up, you turn it around.

You become a pediatrician.

OK.

I'm gonna go get that.

Don't go away.

May I help you?

Oh, hi, I'm Andy. I'm Mr. Santi's nephew.

My uncle wanted me to pick up a payment you owe him.

Mr. Santi's here?

No. We dropped him off.

We?

Look, Andy...

1 only have a few bucks on me, so maybe--

Listen, they told me to tell you if you didn't have it...

that they'd wait and take you some place you could get it...

like your brother's bar.

I'm still on duty.

I'm not off duty for a couple of hours.

Maybe they want to come back.

I think they're gonna wait.

See you later.

Who was at the door?

It was the gas man.

- Oh, God. - What?

I don't want to trouble you with this.

Tell me.

There was a check made out to them from the building.

1thought I had it in the book downstairs, but I looked, and...

These guys, when they show up, they want to be paid.

Otherwise, they notify the building.

I looked everywhere. I don't know what happened.

How much?

1 don't know. It was 189, 190 something.

Around $200.

If I could get home, 1 got the money...

but they want to be paid now.

My supervisor comes at 6:00.

Well, I have my checkbook.

Let me pay them, and then you can pay me.

I couldn't ask you to do that.

Plus, your name would be on the check,

and if they saw that I had a tenant pay...

They look at their records...

I'd be out of here.

I might have it in cash.

You want to wait, and I'll see?

- I don't want to bother you. - It's OK.

I hate to ask.

Please, you've been through so much.

Don't worry. We'll fix this.

I'll give it to you by tonight.

Be right back.

I feel so stupid. I had the damn check.

Oh, God.

What time is it?

Late. What are you watching, Gone with the Wind?

That's funny.

I was watching a movie. What's that movie?

Claude Rains and Bette Davis-- he's the banker.

Mr. Skeffington.

Yeah, that looked just like Bette Davis.

Go to bed.

- I'll do that. - I got it. It's all right.

There's more food if you want more.

All right.

You look very nice.

All right, fine. I know what you're thinking.

You do?

Yeah. I'm a nutsy old lady.

Make fun. Go ahead.

In 20 years, we'll see how funny it is...

when you're laying here, and I'm laughing.

I'm not laughing. You look nice.

I'm so tired of this.

So tired of age.

Look at my hands.

I always had thin skin.

Now they look so old.

My hands impress me.

So what if I'm nutsy?

Is that gonna kill me any sooner?

Mary, you look nice.

Believe me, it's a pleasure to see you like this.

What the hell is the matter with you?

Nothin'.

I had a nice weekend.

You met someone.

- You wanted milk or lactate? - Lactate.

How much do you need?

I don't know. A few hundred?

1 got a visit this morning on the job.

You got a visit?

Jesus Christ.

You know what? Why don't you just work for me?

I'll pay him off free and clear.

These are my debts.

I'll pay 'em off my way. 1 got plans.

How much you need to give him?

Four hundred.

That's all you owe?

It's just a payment.

Not gonna gamble this money, are you?

- I'm not even gonna answer that. - Usually don't give this much.

I'm just tired of it.

I want to finish it. I'm tired of this shit.

All right.

I'm going up to the bar. I'll give you the money.

Thanks.

Who is she?

He was so sad.

And real.

No act, no game.

I was so comfortable with him.

Where did you meet him?

I was at this club looking for the bathroom...

and I couldn't find it.

And I opened this door...

and he pulls me in and kisses me.

In the bathroom? Jesus.

It wasn't the bathroom.

And it wasn't-- mean...

at first, I was surprised, a little scared...

but then we started talking...

and he was so sweet.

And like I said, it felt totally safe to be with him.

You see, he...

He was waiting for this other woman.

Another woman? And he's kissing you?

Sounds like a great catch.

We connected, in a way.

We saw each other.

I should hope you saw each other...

otherwise, you might have been kissing something else.

Not that I think you would care.

Forget it. You don't understand.

I understand. You got swept away.

No.

I mean, yes, but it was more than that.

He asked to see me again.

What's his name?

1 don't know.

Well...

try to find out before you marry him.

Thanks.

You know I'm glad to do it.

So what are you doing this weekend?

It's supposed to be a beautiful day on Sunday.

You want to go to the movies?

A beautiful day--you want to spend it at the movies?

I don't know...

Ah, we'll see.

Thanks.

Must be a nice woman, you know, just...

giving you 400 bucks just like that.

To tell you the truth...

she gave me two...

but I thought...

I want to get her a "thank you" gift...

or maybe take her out to dinner or something.

You see? I knew it.

See how I know you?

Give me that back.

What?

This was about impressing a woman.

It wasn't about paying your debt. Same old shit.

Nothing's ever gonna change.

You did the same thing with Fanny.

You don't remember, but I do.

You put yourself in debt to make that woman happy.

In the end, it still wasn't enough.

You wanna tell me why my marriage didn't work?

That what you wanna do? Who do you think you are?

You think because you have a business...

because you're successful, you're wise?

I know enough.

You know nothing, Phil.

I know plenty.

Everything's got to be the easy way with you.

You bang your head against the wall with these shit jobs.

1 got my plans. Don't you worry.

I'm gonna call cousin Louie again in Sorrento...

about that import-business idea of mine.

It's a goddamn good idea.

I just didn't do the research.

He didn't understand what kind of business it could be.

- He understood. - He didn't understand it.

He called me after the last time...

to ask me to tell you to please stop bothering him...

with the faxes and the phone calls...

'cause he's not interested in opening an American store.

1 didn't have to, of course, 'cause like all your plans...

the minute it doesn't happen overnight, you lose interest.

And all the while, you could...

be working with me, you know?

I'm not a bartender.

I know. You're an elevator operator.

Gypsy cabdriver.

You sell hot watches on the street.

You're not anything.

I've been dying a slow death since my wife threw me out.

A woman walks into my elevator...

and she sees me.

She sees me...

and I think maybe something else can happen for me.

Why? I don't know.

I don't care.

But this can't be my life.

This can't!

You want to give me the money, fine.

You don't...

1 got to be to work at 4:00.

I hope I'm not interrupting.

I would've come earlier...

but I figured I'd wait for my break.

1 got the money.

Great. Come in.

OK. Ah, Mel.

Ah, what a voice.

Anyway, here you go...

and I can't thank you enough.

No problem.

Oh. Wait just one second.

Here. It's just a thank you.

You didn't have to do this.

I know, but I wanted to.

It's a really good year. I looked it up.

- This must have been expensive. - I wanted something special.

- I can't. - You'll hurt my feelings.

At least have some with me?

You sure I'm not interrupting?

Look around. It's just me.

His family was rich.

Oh, my God.

His father was one of the first neurosurgeons...

in the country.

My wife's was one of the first Oldsmobile salesmen...

in Staten Island.

It's true.

God.

How long were you together?

Twenty-five years of bliss.

Do you miss it, being married?

Yeah, sure. I miss it.

Why'd you split up?

She threw me out.

Took the fun out of our marriage.

We weren't getting along for quite a while.

I would always try to do right by her...

but I always did it wrong.

And then after a while, she'd wait for me to fuck up...

which I always did.

What were you trying to do?

Well, I always wanted my own business.

Not my father's or my brother's, but mine.

And I have this cousin in Italy...

who's got this olive oil-tomato business...

and I wanted to sell his stuff here. You know, import.

And then, after a while...

expand to, like, cheeses and pasta and...

It's a terrific idea.

New Yorkers will pay anything if you tell them it's imported.

My brother says that my cousin's not interested.

So go to ltaly and change his mind.

It's a very good idea.

Why did that prick bastard husband ever leave you?

Another woman, younger.

Pediatrician.

Did you know that he shopped around?

That he was-- 16 years you were together.

You must have known something was going on.

Why? Why should I have been expected...

to look over my shoulder all the time?

He lied.

He lied about not wanting children.

He lied about...

loving our life.

He lied about loving me.

What's the difference if I knew or not?

He still would have left.

He wanted someone younger.

You're right. He's a prick.

The guy's a prick.

Men are pricks. We're all pricks.

We act like we know it all...

you know, and we got it all together...

but we don't know what's going on half the time.

We're scared to death.

Of what?

Not finding it.

Finding what?

1 don't know.

Our place, maybe.

I mean, I've had moments--

times when I love my wife...

and I knew that there was no other place that I should be.

But...

those are moments, and then they go.

And when my daughter died...

I thought I'd never have another one.

And then all of a sudden...

out of nowhere...

it starts to change.

Here's to finding more of them.

Give me something real now...

that I can feel now.

Hit me with a love that won't let go.

If you're gonna choose me...

don't refuse me.

Baby, show me...

what you've got...

and give me something real.

We can share...

a feeling so rare.

Let's make a love of our own.

What's past is past...

so let's make this last.

Show me what I've never known...

never known.

Give me something real now...

that I can feel now.

Hit me with a love that won't let go.

If you're gonna choose me...

don't refuse me.

Baby, show me...

what you've got...

and give me something real.

Show me...

what you've got and...

give me something...

real.

It's Pat. Is my brother Philly there?

He's here. Hold on.

- This is Phil. - Hi. It's me.

Hey, pal, what's going on?

I wanted to say--

- We need more rice. - What?

Look, we'll talk again later...

but if you're still offering...

OK.

OK, what? What the hell are you talking about?

I mean OK.

OK to you paying my debts...

but I'm gonna only work part-time in the bar.

And I have a few conditions.

- A few what? - Conditions.

This is amateur night at Jasper's...

where you get to take all that rehearsin' in the shower...

and show us what you got.

It's the only way I can keep track.

It's his first night here, so please give him a big hand.

All right!

Missed the Saturday dance.

Heard they crowded the floor.

Couldn't bear it without you.

Don't get around much anymore.

Thought I'd visit the club.

Oh, oh God.

Got as far as the door.

You are painful.

I mean, if you're going to go after a dream...

pick the right one.

Don't get around much anymore.

I'm sure you're a nice person...

but face the music.

Darling. ll guess...

Can you even hear the music?

Excuse me. The manager's sorry, but we have to ask you to leave.

...get around much anymore.

But she's awful.

Been invited on dates.

You gonna be sick?

What?

What is the point of what you're doing?

Excuse me?

In here. Fixing your makeup.

He's going to dump you eventually...

for someone younger, so what is the point?

I mean, you're a nice-looking woman.

Why does everything have to be about men?

Excuse me.

Oops.

You need some coffee.

You know, I once heard you sing...

and I complimented you, and you completely ignored me.

I'm sorry. That was rude.

It was.

But you're a terrific singer.

Maybe people with talent are allowed to be rude.

How come you only made one record?

"Cause nobody bought that one.

I did.

Do you need some help getting home?

I'm fine.

Don't you, uh...

have to go back and do the amateur thing?

My boss cut it short tonight.

Sorry.

I don't mind. Although, my boyfriend's waiting for me...

so if you're gonna be OK in here--

- He's gay. - What?

Your friend.

You don't even know who I'm talking about.

Yeah, ll do.

That young guy with the beautiful...

voice.

I saw you looking at him when he sang.

I saw your expression. I know that look.

I don't know how you can know that.

When you're laying in the gutter...

you can see underneath people a little better than usual.

You don't look like the gutter type.

Oh, I'm a native.

I just clean up well.

That's from living on the upper eastside...

for 20 years.

Ilearned how to let doormen carry my bags.

I learned how to order wine and cater parties.

I dumped all my friends from home because their...

husbands didn't make as much as mine.

And it was difficult to do things with them...

things they couldn't afford.

Feels good to admit that finally.

Funny what you can tell a stranger...

and you can't tell people you know.

I've told so many stories all my life.

I'm so tired of telling stories.

He left you?

I don't know who he left.

I'm not sure where I've been for 20 years.

I knew deep down he saw other women.

I knew for years.

I just kept thinking...

"He must know I know.

"That's why he stays...

"because Ilet him do what he wants.

"Because...

"I understand what he needs...

"and ll don't make it difficult.

"He'll never leave. Why should he?

"He can do whatever he wants.

"As long as he stays.

"There are all kinds of marriages.

"At least I'm married. At least I'm safe.”

It's amazing...

isn't it?

The things you find yourself agreeing to?

Then...

some guy with great hands...

kisses me...

in a dark room...

and I'm saved.

This is why it all happened.

This will be my new story.

How I met my second husband.

Where'd you go, to a party?

You know...

after we spoke, I talked to my brother.

I called him, and I made a deal with him.

I figured, what the heck.

Maybe if I work for him part-time or something--

- Look... - What?

It's late.

- What's the matter? - Nothing.

I'm just...

not in the mood tonight.

What the hell's wrong with you?

Hi. Judy?

Where would you like me to set up?

Living room?

Sounds good.

Can ll get you anything?

A drink?

A glass of water would be great. Thanks.

Sorry I'm a little late.

The cabs, they see this table, and they pass right by me.

OK if I move these?

Sure.

Here.

Oh, thanks.

So, how long has it been since you've had a massage?

I don't remember.

Yikes. That's no good.

I brought my own towels, but if you prefer yours...

Beautiful.

I also brought my own music, but if you prefer your own...

This is fine.

So...

where'd you see my ad?

Some New York magazine.

Well, you want the hour or hour and a half?

Can I decide later?

Sure.

Usually, no, but...

I have no clients after you, so you're in luck.

You may want to take off your jewelry.

Now, this is...

totally for you, so...

however far you want me to go or not go...

it's entirely up to you.

I've been doing this for three years.

I can give all kinds of massage.

What are my options?

Well, Swedish...

Shiatsu, deep tissue...

erotic...

or any combo.

It's your choice.

They're entirely safe.

Is there any specific areas you'd like me to concentrate on?

On me?

Would you like me to take these off?

Can I decide later?

Sure.

I just have to go wash my hands, so make yourself comfortable.

We'll start on your stomach, so place the towel over you...

and I'll be right back.

Your bathroom?

Over this way.

Let's get you warmed up here.

I just want you to know...

that I will not do anything you don't want me to do.

This is all about pleasure...

about touch.

Bodies touching.

Just let everything go.

And if you want to touch me, feel free.

People are so scared nowadays.

They forget how good it is to be touched.

It's important.

There you go.

Just let it go.

That's right.

Just let everything go.

That's right.

Good massage?

He was a good-looking guy. You use him before?

No, first time.

That's a good job.

If you don't mind my asking...

what does a guy get for a two and a half hour massage?

Look, I want to apologize.

I was a little...

abrupt before.

I'm sorry.

You want some coffee?

I need to get something off my chest.

It's been bugging me.

It's about the first night that we talked--

the night I borrowed the money from you.

No. You don't have to.

I want to. I want to come clean.

About not needing the money for the gas guy?

You knew?

A $189 gas bill for a Fifth Avenue co-op?

- So why'd you give it to me? - I don't know.

I figured you were good for it.

There's something else I wanted to ask you.

I was wondering if one night--

This is--Jesus, this is tough.

I'm really a little rusty at this.

- Don't. - What?

I don't want to hurt your feelings.

Hurt my feelings about what?

I think I know what you're gonna ask.

You do?

I'd rather you didn't.

I wanted to know if you wanted to have dinner sometime...

maybe a movie.

I just asked you not to ask me.

Oh, you were right?

I thought maybe you were completely off the mark.

So you knew what I was going to...

Is that a no?

Look, I--

You're a wonderful person, but I think that...

That I like you?

And I think I know what you want.

So?

I think you're a terrific person, too.

I enjoy your company.

I'd like to see you more--

take you out, spend time with you.

But that's not possible.

Why? Because of what ll do?

- No. - Are you sure?

Look, you're not being honest.

It's not just about spending time with me.

You feel comfortable with me, right?

We have a good time when we're talking--

nice time telling jokes or kidding around, right?

Yes, but ll don't want you thinking...

it can be anything more than that.

Well, it's none of your business...

what I think or what I want.

You can't control that.

It just won't happen.

- How do you know it won't? - I know.

How can you know? You can't know a thing like that.

I'm not attracted to you that way.

- So maybe it'll change. - It won't.

- How do you know that? - I know.

I want to feel my life.

I want to be authentic.

I want to stop agreeing to things I don't really want.

Then stop.

Look, I'm not asking you to marry me.

I'm just saying let's spend a little time together.

Whatever happens, doesn't happen, it doesn't matter.

Of course it's going to matter.

If you want to sleep with me, and I don't, it's gonna matter.

Believe me, it won't.

So if I want to just be friends, that's what we'll be?

Unless it changes.

I don't think it will.

You never know. How can you? You don't know.

Things change.

I might lose interest.

It's not a great possibility that I might, but...

Come on.

Come on, what?

What? We're laughing here. We're having a good time.

I don't want this.

Then why'd you come down here?

To apologize.

Oh, you came down here to apologize, is that it?

Is that authentically why you came down here?

I came down here because...

I can't sleep...

and because I don't want to be alone.

Sorry.

- The lady upstairs-- - Did you hear the bell?

- Yeah, but-- - Doesn't anybody work anymore?

Yeah, we work.

The lady was moving a refrigerator.

Writing the great American novel up there.

Fell over on a cat. We had...

Are you wearing that shirt?

- So, 6:30, 7:00? - What time is the movie?

-8:00. -6:30.

6:30. I'm here.

Good night.

Good night. Hi, Bill.

- Where's the damn key? - I'm getting it.

Because, really, I swear, you make me cry.

Thank you so much.

You know why? Because when you sing...

it's not about just you.

It's not about now.

It's the whole black experience, you know what I'm saying?

Because, you see, black people-- African-American people--

when they sing sentimental songs...

they're not sentimental, right?

- Know why? - Why?

- Because of the pain. - I have the pain.

- It's the pain. - I'm full of pain.

You are absolutely right.

You know what? Thank you.

You're welcome. Thank you.

You are so great.

You bring your friends next time.

Keep on singing, now.

1 got plenty of bad times to sing about, don't you worry.

OK. You get home safe.

1 will.

This is your fault. This is her fault.

- Why? - Because you said I was rude.

Every since you said that, I gotta talk to every psycho...

that comes in just so ll don't feel bad.

Hey, there he is.

- Hi, Gary. How you doing? - Nice to see you.

- And this is Pat. - Nice to meet you.

- So, you want a drink? - Sure. Please.

So how was your audition?

Better than I expected.

Oh, good.

Jesus.

It's called a Victorian Gypsy ring.

Apparently, they would change the stones...

as they, I don't know...

progressed in society or something.

It was bought for me in London.

You want to go out later?

I really got to get out.

Oh, I'd love to.

I have to get up early, though.

They sold the country house my husband and I bought.

Actually, my husband bought it...

but thanks to the divorce God, 1 get half.

Oh, God.

Well...

this place that I'm thinking about...

is after-hours, so...

it might be best if you just don't go home.

I suppose.

It's not like I have an actual life.

This girlfriend of mine took me to this place...

called the Confessional.

Absolutely fabulous.

I mean, it is a scene, honey.

That dance floor gets pretty wild.

You may not want to try it on your first time.

- Really? - But it's just fun to watch.

Come back around 2:00. We're going.

And she gave me these.

What do they do?

She says it just makes you feel free...

and it makes you just want to touch everybody.

And for one night...

it makes you forget all the ex-husbands...

and gay boyfriends...

you can think of.

You going to be all right?

Look, it's my own fault.

It's not like I lie to myself.

I just love him.

1 don't know. You know what it is?

It's like I've always had this thing...

for beautiful...

gentle men.

You know?

It's like they have sort of a kindness...

I never found in other men...

and I like that.

And they're sensitive, too.

You know, it's like having a guy...

and a girlfriend at the same time.

Of course, being that sensitive...

they feel things that regular guys don't--

like the need to suck dick.

So, you know...

you take the good with the bad.

Where are you going?

Liz invited me to this after-hours place downtown...

called...

Confessional.

It's somewhere in the Meat district.

Boy, you look amazing.

You better be careful going down to a place like that...

dressed the way you are. You look terrific.

- Really? - Yeah.

You look very nice in your uniform.

Thank you.

I'm sorry.

I'm a little high.

That's...

perfectly all right.

Good night.

Take care.

Time for the night of your life, mademoiselle.

Thank you very, very much.

Never saw him again.

If you need any electrical work done...

I have a man who's worked well.

He upgraded it about...

six years ago.

Anyway, his name is...

Grimes. Sid Grimes.

He's a terrific guy-- a real character--

lived in the same house for over 60 years.

- Wow. - Wow.

And his family were...

They were one of the original town settlers.

Anyway, he's a terrific guy, and...

there are also two plumbers in town.

The one ll use is Kei--

What is your problem?

I thought we were going to be civilized.

I have to apologize for this.

You are such a child.

I can't believe you're behaving like this.

You all right, Bob? You OK?

- Hey, what are you-- - I want to say something.

You're out of your mind.

- Can we please-- - Shut up.

I want you to know I don't hate you.

1 don't believe this.

I want to get on with my life, and ll can't do it hating you.

I know I did a lot of things wrong, too.

I left me long before you did.

- Excuse me, miss? - Ilied.

I lied about a lot of things, and I'm sorry.

We don't need to have this discussion now, OK?

I'm over you, believe me.

What?

You stupid...

asshole.

That's all you're gonna say?

What do you want me to say? That I'm sorry?

For what?

I fell in love.

I feel something.

Finally, my heart is open.

I'm learning how to give love and receive love...

from someone who knows how, finally!

And I'm supposed to be sorry?

I never said 1 didn't love you!

Just because it fell apart...

doesn't mean it wasn't love at some point!

I am through!

God, what was it?

What was I so scared of that you were a better choice?

Help!

The situation clearly called for me to attack him.

He takes everything so damn seriously.

- So he's gonna press charges? - It depends.

His lawyer said he'd forget the whole thing...

if I forfeited my share of money from the house.

That is bullshit.

That's what I said, but then...

they explained how...

assault and battery carries a 30-day sentence...

and a fine.

And it would be on my record, and...

My credit cards are, like...

Look, you're really upset now.

Let me-- Don't think about it, OK?

I'm off tonight.

Take a nice rest and let me take you out to dinner.

OK? We'll get dressed up real nice.

We'll go to some real nice place and then visit Liz at Jasper's.

What do you think? Would you like that?

Be a wise man.

Be a fool.

Treat me tender...

or be cruel.

Be anything...

but, darling...

be mine.

Climb to the top...

of the ladder.

Be master of all...

you survey.

Fail, and it still doesn't matter.

If you love me...

everything's...

OK.

Be the angel...

of my prayers.

Be a devil.

Who cares?

Be anything...

but, darling...

be mine.

Be anything...

but, darling...

be mine.

Thank you.

So what are we celebrating?

1 got so much to tell you...

but I didn't wanna say anything until everything was all set.

I called my cousin in Sorrento.

1 got everything lined up-- all the research--

and I told him how much people here...

would pay for a can of fucking tomatoes...

and he said he's interested.

That's so great.

- Congratulations. - Thank you very much.

- We leave on November third. - What?

Now, don't--You don't have to decide right now.

I can't go to ltaly.

It's 6 weeks away.

It's just a little trip to get away from everything.

It doesn't cost me anything, either...

because this is a business write-off.

Don't. Please.

Don't what?

What's wrong, kid?

This...

Let me think about it, OK?

That's all I'm saying.

Just think about it.

Let's not talk about it now.

Fine. Sure.

It's just that--and I know you don't wanna hear this...

and I'll never say it again...

but I feel it's better that we should...

say it now, and then we're clear.

I feel love for you.

I know you don't feel exactly the same...

and that's fine, but...

I like loving you.

It's selfish. It makes me feel good.

And...

you know, ...

I have to love somebody.

I--It's just...

I have to.

You know, I'm 52 years old...

and I'm not looking for another lifetime.

I've already had one.

As long as I can be with you...

do for you.

Nothing's perfect.

Are you folks ready?

So don't decide now.

Let's just eat dinner and...

Yeah, we are ready.

I'll have the risotto and half salad.

Does steak come with anything?

You have a choice between baked potato, rice, or fries.

Baked potato.

And make the steak medium rare.

I can't go to ltaly.

Maybe it bothered you--

before--

what I said about how I feel.

Not at all.

I feel the same way...

just not exactly.

It's because you have a lot of things ahead of you--

a lot of things you have to do.

That's just it.

I---

I wanna know...

what I'm supposed to be doing...

what I'm really meant to do...

and ll don't think I'll be able to see it...

if ll have someone standing in front of me.

What if I'm standing behind you?

Oh, I know. You got a...

You got a lot of beautiful things ahead of you.

So do you.

Look...

I'm gonna go, OK?

I'll give you some time, you know, to settle in.

I'll give you my new number when it gets hooked up, OK?

Sure.

Bye, kid.

You'll just probably hold them today.

They need to be held.

If you have any problems, just let me know, OK?

Thank you.

How you doing?

How are you?

Well, it's so good to see you.

You're so happy today.

So good to see you so happy.

Good night.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Is tonight the test?

No, I had it this morning.

God...was that this morning?

I'm sure you did great.

- Good night. - Good night.

Dr. Nelson, you're wanted at the nurses' station.

Dr. Robert Nelson, please report to the nurses' station.

Bob Nelson? Cardiologist?

Yeah, I think he's consulting here.

You know him?

Not really. Good night.

The way you wear your hat.

The way you sip your tea.

The memory of all that.

No, no...

they can't take that away from me.

The way your smile just beams.

The way you sing off-key.

The way you haunt my dreams.

No, no...

they can't take that away from me.

We may never, never meet again...

on that bumpy road to love.

Still I'll always, always...

keep the memory of...

the way you hold your knife.

The way we danced till 3:00.

The way you changed my life.

No, no...

they can't take that away from me.

No...

they can't take that away...

from me.

Thank you.

Something happened, Pat.

In just a second, I saw it.

It was like all this time I wasn't paying attention...

and all of a sudden, I could see it.

I don't know anything anymore.

I don't know how long it'll last...

or if it's right or wrong.

Maybe all we have are seconds we see clearly.

Give it up for Pat, everybody!

Cameriere! Ey, prego, una bottiglia!

No. Due, due.

Grazie.

I sing in the shower a little, that's all.

Thank you.

1told him 1 didn't expect you tonight.

He was happy to hear you were doing well.

OK, give him the other one.

No. I want that one.

Wait. Shh! Leave this on.

I love that song. Leave it.

Summertime.

Hot fun in the summertime.

Hot fun in the summertime.
