[laughs]

Hey! That's my lamp.

Hey, wait a minute.

Hey, Chip, honey, thank God you're home.

I think these guys are stealing my stuff.

Chip, isn't that my television?

Chip?

- Let's move! - Chip?

Alright, Chip, I think you'd better face it.

I don't think we should see each other anymore.

And this relationship isn't working--Ow!

Chip! Do you hear me Chip?

I'm not gonna take this shit anymore!

And my G.E. clock radio.

All my Buffy St. Marie albums.

My Boston fern.

And all the fancy h'orderves stuff that I bought for tonight.

He took it all...except this.

Oh, he left you something?

Hm-hm, oh the guy is all heart.

Yeah, well, he took the can opener.

Where's the phone? I'm calling the cops.

No. Sonia, Chip and I have been seeing each other

almost two months.

It's practically a relationship. You can't have him arrested.

It'll ruin everything.

'I don't believe this.'

He's just a little miffed, that's all.

It's my fault, he kept saying "No party."

"It's just a stupid birthday. It's not important."

- 'But, I wouldn't listen.' - Jesus.

He trashes your apartment. He steals your underwear.

Just because you want to throw a party on his birthday?

No...it's my birthday

'Huh.'

Yo-o-o!

(male announcer) '34th Street, Penn Station.'

'Change to the No. 2 or No. 3 express trains.'

'Watch the closing doors.'

Pow!

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!

I am called Kaz.

I come from the planet Venus! And this...is our language!

[saxophone music]

Attention Earth!

We are friendly people!

Give us your money, and we go in peace.

Oh, oh, and leave the women.

[laughs]

Woo!

[saxophone music]

[intense music]

[music continues]

The way to do it, is to go six blocks..

...is to go six blocks..

[indistinct chatter]

'...and you make a left... four blocks to the..'

Hey, Miguela, what's happening?

Hey, big sister. Hey, Denny.

Hi.

I thought you were gone for the night.

No, I came back to change. Do I have any messages?

Messages, yeah, just a few.

Lets see. Don called about tonight.

Steve called, about last night.

'And Peter wanted to know what happened--'

Miguela, um, why don't you go ahead? I can close up myself.

- Have a good time. Goodnight. - Alright.

How are you, Denny?

- Fine. - You look really nice tonight.

How's your boyfriend, Chip?

Fine.

That's nice. Goodnight.

Goodnight.

(Sonia) 'Hey baby...lighten up.'

'Well, rid of that jerk.'

I could've made it work.

I can make anything work.

Aye, Denny.

Oh, no...no. No, not tonight, oh, no.

'Denny, can you tell him that I am busy'

or that I'm dead or something, I don't care.

- Who? - Phil.

[phone ringing]

Hello, Gre Gre.

(man on phone) 'Denny, it's Phil.'

(Denny) 'Hi, Phil'

- 'Is Sonia there?' - 'No I'm sorry, she's out.'

- 'Can you give her a message?' - Okay.

'Tell her I want my umbrella back at the station, will ya?'

- Okay. - 'You have a nice evening.'

- You too. - 'Thanks, so long, kid.'

Bye.

-'He says that he--' -Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll give it to him tomorrow.

How do you do that?

Every now and then, it just happens.

Let's just drop it, okay?

I wish I could see into a guys head.

I'd know from the start he's gonna hurt me.

Baby I worry about you. You either got to get tough

or you gotta get a gun.

And what am I going to do with a gun?

It's New York. Use your imagination.

Wo-o-o Angie! Babe, it's me!

What, don't you remember me?

The Veterans Hospital..

You taught me how to walk again.

- What do you want? - Ahem. To change your life.

How about a cup of coffee?

Oh, sure.

Hey! No, this isn't what I meant!

What's wrong with you?

Woah. Gah. Oh, they're everywhere!

Woo. Ah!

Okay, let's face facts.

You are attracted to scum.

The strays, they see you coming miles away.

Dogs, alley cats, actors.

Now, I don't know what's worse. The guys, or the animals.

Rocco was nice.

Who?

Followed me home a couple of weeks ago.

And let me tell you something, when you make a dog dinner

he jumps up, he licks your face.

He does not load your stuff into the back of a van

and nearly run you over.

I miss him.

Chip stole him too?

He left me last Saturday.

Denny, you gotta make some changes.

You lie on the floor, people are gonna wipe their feet on you.

- I'm affectionate. - You're a carpet!

- I like men! - Ha-ha. Why?

It's not like you can be friends with one.

You ever try to have a conversation with a guy?

Especially when the Flintstones is on?

Now, I'm not saying that they don't have their uses.

Boy, I wish I could handle men like you.

I wish I was gorgeous. I wish I was smart.

I wish I was sexy.

I wish I was dead.

Oh my God, it's the dork.

Don't look.

For God's sake don't make eye contact!

(Denny) 'I think he saw me.'

(Sonia) 'Look at him. What a putz.'

(Denny) 'Here he comes.'

(Sonia) 'Don't look up.'

Maybe he'll keep walking.

He's not that bad.

Bon soir and good evening, ladies. Denny.

- Hello, Charles. - Ah, Chucky, please.

- Or, Chuck. - Check, yo, check.

You-you know what I was feeling? Can you guess?

I-I felt a kind of a chemical rea..

A kind of like a magnet pulling me to this end of the table.

Oh, God.

I hope I'm not being too forward.

I felt your Ying reaching for my Yang.

Oh.

And I think that we're dest.. I think you-like, you..

you-me-you-you know what I mean? That-like-you, ah..

I'm all clogged up here. Do you have a tissue or something?

Uh, I don't-I don't think so.

Awh, this is wonderful, here can I just get the-get this..

Look..Oh!

Look, look, Chucky, if you wanna score

why don't you go score your term papers okay?

Denny, you're talking to a guy with a little paper parasol

in his drinks.

So, Charles, I didn't know you were in education.

- What grade do you teach? - 'No, I don't teach.'

I'm on the board of Ed. In charge of student discipline.

- Oh! - Aah!

- I'm sorry, I'm sorry. - Okay, that's the last straw.

Get out of here. That is the last straw.

Now, stop talk.. I said now!

If you'd like to get together, or like have dinner

or just talk, I'd like to do that.

Cause I think you're a very nice person.

Um, bye.

Goodbye, Charles.

- Oh! - I'm sorry, I'm sorry!

Can't you be a little more selective, he's such a geek.

He's just a little lonely.

Oh, and just how lonely are you?

Bye.

Not that lonely.

(male #1) 'Come on, change you luck.'

'Change your luck. Come on, good luck for Sam.'

'Good luck for Sam.'

Ah!

'Come on, come on, get you good luck here.'

'They call me the fixer. Cause I got the elixir.'

You got a problem? Shi-i-it, so what?

[laughs]

'You give me the description and I got the prescription.'

You wanna hand Ol' Fixer the cash?

And he'll fix you up in a flash!

Come on, come on, get your good luck here.

See your fixer and get your good luck.

Hey, look out, boy!

You're bruising the merchandise.

Can't change your luck, boy.

You ain't got none.

Unless...there is one thing might work.

You got 20 bucks?

Then you're a hopeless case, boy.

Worst case I ever seen. Have a nice day, boy.

They're everywhere.

Woah! I've got to have a woman!

Hey, you!

- Hold it! - Woah!

[car honking]

Can you believe that?

[dog barking]

[intense music]

- Grr! - A-a-ah!

- Captain Janus. - Captain Janus, please.

This girls story was like the last ones.

It was a costume.

Where were the cops? How could they miss him?

- It wasn't Halloween. - It was the Village.

The way he burned and mangled those girls.

He must be some kind of Coke weirdo.

Captain Janus, will the Mangler strike again?

Oh, jeez, don't give him a name.

I'm gonna have a dozen copy-cat Manglers by tonight.

[chattering]

Let's go and write up a story.

Hm.

Here.

Hey, don't go.

Ah...don't you have any work to do?

You even trying to catch this guy?

Oh, don't you start on me too. I'm doing the best I can.

'It's not eas..'

Can we go to dinner, tonight?

No, we have been through this before.

I am not going out with you.

But, if I take you to bed, why can't I take you to dinner?

Don't try to get close to me, Phil, I never asked for that.

[sputter]

'Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh'

Oh, ha-ha, uh-uh. Go.

'Because I don't wanna see you anymore, that's why.'

'Besides, I'm doing something tonight that's a lot more fun.'

- Setting fire to my hair. - Excuse me?

- Yeah. - Miss?

- Yeah. - 'Miss?'

- What? - 'I ordered a No. 3'

Yeah. One beef, lecithin, albumen and gorse berry burger.

Hold the mug.

'I'm sick, you listen to me for a living.'

[burps]

- No. - Sir?

No.

Sir?

Excuse me--

I am on a personal call. Do you mind?

[beep]

[dramatic music]

Girl.

Food.

Ah, girl and food.

Are you gonna finish that?

Yes.

Awh. Hmm.

Oh.

You sure you're not finishing this?

I'm positive.

Oh-h-h my God! Oh-h God!

Look what you've done to my dress!

What the hell kind of meat is this?

It isn't.

What exactly did I just eat?

Why don't you take a look?

Poached beets. That's this red splotch right here.

And the yellow.. The yellow stain is stone wrapped mullet.

With natural albumen and lecithin granules.

And here, here we have the sun-dried gorse berries.

Ugh, gorse berries?

I'm sorry you didn't like it.

I ate a fruit burger! You gave me a fruit burger!

You gave me a fruit burger?

And there were beets in it, too.

I ate a gorse berry beet burger with lecithin. Ugh.

Where are we going, fruit-burger?

Oh, will you please stop following me?

- Fruit-burger.. - It's Denny. Oh God.

Kaz.

Wait. I'm getting a really strong impression here.

Don't laugh, but sometimes I can..

Wait, wait, it's coming, yes, yes...you don't like me.

Oh, will you leave me alone?

Shame on you.

Maybe I'm an incredibly warm, sensitive and giving person.

Maybe I'm appalled at what I did to your dress.

- Maybe I wanna pay for it. - Fine. It costs $35.99.

You take a check? Here-here I'll write you one.

I got plenty of 'em.

Don't bother, I wouldn't take one of your checks.

Oh, don't worry, they're not mine.

- Who's Dr. Harold Frawley? - What do you care for?

He's a doctor.

What are you doing with his check book?

Denny what? I need your last name.

- You're not gonna get it. - Alright, forget the check.

You, uh, you take American Express?

'Jeez, you're a touchy broad.'

[jazz music]

So-o-o. This is where you live, huh?

Nope...I'm visiting a boyfriend. A very big boyfriend.

Oh, well, goodbye then.

Denny? I know I'm obnoxious, but you're a very attractive woman.

And I just wanted to be close to you for a few minutes.

I'm sorry.

Well...that's okay.

That's sweet of you.

Goodbye.

A-a-ah! Oh-h, a-ah.

What's wrong?

Nothing, uh-h.

Are you sick?

I think maybe you should see a doctor. Can you stand up?

If you help me. Maybe you should put your arms around me.

- Okay. - Lower...tighter.

I can't budge you.

Maybe you should get your big boyfriend.

Who? Oh, I'm sorry.

I made that up, I don't have a big boyfriend.

Oh, good, let's get married.

Oh, God. Oh..

I hate this guy.

You can't run away from it, fruit-burger.

A successful relationship takes work.

What do you know about a successful relationship?

Did you ever have one?

Sure, hundreds of 'em. I'm not perfect.

I've got problems, but I've learned to live with 'em.

- So will you. - Oh! Will you get away from me?

Sexual attraction is a powerful thing isn't it?

- Well you're crazy! - Ha-ha-ha!

- You're crazy! - I told you I got problems.

Later, lamb chop.

[intense music]

[music continues]

Oh.

A-a-h!

You little bitch.

Oh, Chip, honey, is something wrong?

O-o-h!

- You called the cops on me! - No, I didn't

What's the matter? The TV. break down?

I got busted for passing a hot blender. Yours.

Now my girl don't rat to the cops and get away with it.

I'm not your girl anymore. You left me, remember?

You don't want me. Stop and think about this!

This is a terrible relationship. Help!

Firstly, I never got my time.

And you're mean, you're insensitive.

You robbed my apartment. You don't call me, you don't write.

Help! Help me!

[intense music]

God damn city's full of animals.

It's okay, kid, I got you.

Ugh.

I got you, broad.

Stay away. Stay back.

Don't you come near me.

You come-you come one step closer and I'm gonna..

Coffee?

Kaz?

Hey...you say that nice.

Come on, take it. I'm not gonna bite ya.

Oh God, I'm sorry, out there I thought that I saw a..

Yeah?

Nah...I got conked on the head one too many times this week.

But it was you, wasn't it?

- 'You chased Chip away.' - Drink your coffee.

Okay.

What? Would you rather have decaf?

No.

Don't do that.

Why are you crying?

- Because I'm a shlub! - You're not a shlub.

I am. I am a shlub.

Look at me. I'm a woman of the 80's.

I can do anything I want to do.

I can risk my life in armed combat.

I can have empty sex with strangers.

'The world is mine.'

But all I want, is someone to take care of.

Somebody to take care of me, too.

I am pathetic.

No-o-o.

I should be in a museum.

Stuffed.

Look, at least you know what you are.

You're gonna be okay, kid.

I fall in love with bozos.

- That's okay? - No, that sucks.

[chuckles]

But the rest of it, it's very sweet.

Denny...do I scare you?

Maybe I should be afraid of you.

But I'm not.

I don't think you want to hurt me.

I wouldn't want to.

Denny...I'm so tired.

Would, uh...you mind if I slept on your couch tonight?

[thunder rumbling]

I don't know.

[instrumental music]

Well, goodnight, Kaz.

Goodnight.

[thunder rumbling]

[intense music]

[groaning]

[music continues]

(male announcer on radio) 'Panic in the city'

'as the "Mangler" continued to elude the police.'

'A fourth victim was viciously mauled last night.'

'The unknown assailant attacked 31 year-old Miguela Valdez.'

'Outside Gre Gre, her Greenwich Village shop.'

Kaz?

Kaz?

- Ah! - Ah!

Hi.

Hi.

I made you breakfast.

I've got this funny taste in my mouth.

Look, I wanted to say I was sorry about last night.

Dumping all my problems on you and everything.

Oh, no, that-that's okay, you don't have to.

Did I...did we do anything last night?

Thank God.

What's wrong?

You don't wanna know about it. Uh, look, I'm outta here.

Why?

Look, Denny, it's sex.

I can't do it, think about it or even look at it.

Kaz, don't tell me you can't make love.

Okay, I won't tell you.

But what about your hundreds of successful relationships?

That was a lie.

Why'd you lie to me?

Because I'm a liar. Look, don't get pissed at me.

Compared to the rest of it

that happens to be one of my better qualities.

Why did you have to go and be so nice to me?

Thanks for the couch.

Look.

A lot of guys have trouble making love.

Look, I got a good idea.

Why don't you stay a little longer and you can sleep

on the couch.

Uh-h-h.

Well, why not? You got no place else to go, do you?

Besides, I like the company.

I know this sounds crazy but you remind me of Rocco.

- Who's he? - Doesn't matter.

- You wanna stay? - On the couch?

- M-hm. - Really?

- Hm. - We'd just be friends?

No kissing, no holding, no touching?

No kidding?

- Hey.. - Hm?

Is this a re-relationship?

I-I never had one, I don't know how.

I'm perfect for you then.

'Cause I can have a relationship with anybody.

How is she, doctor?

She's had a great traumatic shock.

If you wanna go home and get some rest

I'll see to it you're called, when there's a change.

She's my sister.

She ought to know somebody cares what happened.

The cops sure don't.

Has she said anything, remembered anything?

Not yet.

Hey.

Yeah.

Miguela. Come on.

Try to remember.

'Get a look at his clothes or his hands?'

He didn't have any hands.

Like an animal.

Like a wild animal.

No!

Ah!

Let me go! Get away!

Oh, my God!

Oh!

Help me!

You okay?

I saw it.

What?

God, Phil. I don't know.

You want a ride home?

No.

You'll be alright?

'Hi, it's Denny. It's Tuesday, don't hang up.'

[beeps]

Yeah. Hello, Denny's machine. This is Chuck Sawyer.

I'm sorry, I dumped the nuts on you, the other night.

I'd liked to make amends, take you out to dinner tonight.

Your choice. Okay? Give a call 961-5000 Station 54.

I'll wait till until five o'clock...or six.

I'll be there till six o'clock. Gimme a call, Denny.

I'd like to take you out tonight. See you soon. Bye-bye.

[people chattering]

Oh, look. Look. I've been looking all over for these.

(male #2) 'You'll die in the next century.'

- Hey, um.. - I love these.

I'll be right back, okay?

That's it?

What do you want for five dollars?

You're a phony!

Pull out another ten and maybe I'd see you win the lottery.

Next case! Next case!

Hey, Fixer. Do you remember me? What's the matter?

You got the curse all over you, boy.

Why don't you get a hold of it? Tuck it in.

Any half-ass psychic can smell you coming, a mile off.

Listen, please...don't run away.

You said there's something you might be able to do.

Maybe, but you said you didn't have no bread.

- You got some, now? - No.

'Then what do you got?'

You didn't go and do something stupid, I hope.

You didn't go and fall in love?

Oh!

That's why you want to give up the power of curse.

For a woman?

Boy, you like to break my heart.

Uh, hey, hey, come back. Come, come, come on.

Well, let's first see, how you got this curse.

Come on, get it. Turn it around here.

Turn it around, that's it. Like that, come on.

That's it. Hold it right there.

Hold it right there, now. Come on here.

(Kaz) 'What're you doing?'

Been crystal ball shopping, lately? Expensive.

Now, where's a horizontal control on this thing?

Got you.

(Kaz) 'Hey, that's me.'

Hi, Bibi.

Bibi?

Bibi Chaskaluska!

Hi, Kaz.

Kaz, you are such a cute guy.

Ever kiss a girl before?

Not exactly.

Well, have you or haven't you?

I said, not exactly.

Kaz!

[Bibi moaning]

This is great! Show me how to do this.

Shut up and watch.

[speaking foreign language]

(Fixer) 'What's she saying?'

- 'She's talking Romanian.' - 'Romanian?'

Get off!

[speaking foreign language]

Grandma!

(Fixer) 'Run, you stupid kid. Run!'

[speaking foreign language]

Pazatski!

(Fixer) 'Whoa-a!'

Well, what? Tell me what's a Pazatski?

You! She stick the devil in you, boy.

You mean I'm possessed?

Worse. You are Pazatsked.

- Open your pants. - What?

Come on! Come on! I ain't gonna kiss it. Drop them.

- Come on! Come on! - I'm coming.

- Come on! - Wait.

Right there. That's where the devil went in.

Can't you see I'm busy?

You can't take it, go back to Jersey!

Now, this is important. Don't let nobody stick you, there.

Especially with something made out of flint.

That'll kill you and the devil, both.

Wait, wait.

- If I'm possessed-- - Pazatsked.

Whatever! How come this only shows up only when I get horny?

What's so funny?

Ever so you feel, you get horny for real..

...you can't get down with no female

when you got a mouth full of razors and a burning tail.

She's down laid a case of Romanian blue balls on you, boy.

Ha ha ha.

Look. How do I get rid of this curse?

You gotta do something noble.

Then you scare the devil right out of you.

Eh, sounds like a third rate fairy tale.

You're mighty picky for somebody living in a twilight zone.

- And-- - Oh, there is a catch, right.

Ain't there always?

When the devil leaves out of you, it grabs a hold

of the person in your life, closest to you.

You get the cure. They get the curse.

What's up?

I never felt so close to anybody before.

Close?

'You feel the same way, don't you?'

Don't you?

Yeah.

[beeps]

Hi, Denny's machine. Listen, I've got great tickets tonight

for the command performance for Lady Dia and Prince Charles.

Corniche Hall. Stars, Sylvester Stallone doing Dickens.

Korishnakoff dancing, twin piano magic, of Forenti and Tischer.

[laughs]

Hey, lady! You remind me of my wife.

That bitch!

Kaz.

I'm home early.

They closed the pet shop.

I thought maybe we'd pack a luncheon.

Happy Birthday.

(Kaz) 'Surprise.'

Oh, Kaz.

[saxophone music]

- You know what? - Mmm?

This is the best birthday I've ever had.

It's not even my birthday.

- Kaz. - Mmm?

[music continues]

I want you to stay all night, this time.

And, uh..

...you don't have to sleep on the couch.

Eh..

Denny, I...have to..

Oh! Wanna open you present?

Okay.

* Ta Ta Ta Ta

Tadah!

Kaz!

- It's a television. - Mm-hm.

It's my television. Where did you get it?

Eh, I got a couple of friends on the street.

They showed me where to find good ol' Chip.

- You stole back from 'em? - Get out of here. I bought it.

On Visa, um, I forget who's card, Dr. Sydney somebody.

- You didn't like it? - I always did.

Oh! Mm-hm.

- Denny, stop. - You don't want me to stop.

- This isn't fair. - Right.

Uh-huh.

These feelings. You're feeling them for the wrong person.

It's never been my strong point.

Denny..

No!

Denny...no!

Aahh! No!

What's the matter?

Kaz, what are you doing?

- Are you taking a shower? - 'What's it look like?'

Come out of there!

God damn New York city plumbing! You call this cold water?

I think it's time you talk about our relationship.

- Do you love me or not? - Of course, I love you.

What do you think I'm doing in the shower?

- Oh, I'd like to know. - I can't live here anymore.

Why? Why? When everything's going do well.

Kaz, please tell me what's wrong?

It won't change the way I feel about you.

- You wanna bet? - Try me, please.

You're not gonna like it. You're really not gonna like it.

Alright. Just promise me that you won't faint or scream.

- Or lose your Pizza. - I promise.

I'm pazz..

What?

Jesus, woman! You can't expect me to say it twice.

- Well, you were mumbling. - I don't mumble.

Well, you just mumbled. You just said, "I'm a..

"...I'm possom." What's possom?

No, Pazatsked!

I can't understand you, if don't speak clearly.

It's like being possessed by the devil, only worse.

Oh!

I..

...am a Pazatski.

[sighs]

Oh, say something.

I sit here..

...scared to death of what you're going to say to me.

And you...turn it into some dumb..

...adolescent joke.

Hey, you don't have to get mad at me.

I'm telling you the truth. I'm sick.

Some people get fever blisters when they are sick.

I get was long tail and lizard skin.

Just stop it!

Why do you find it so hard to believe?

If this was the middle ages you'd just say "Oh".

- Your sick. - That's what I'm saying.

I need to get out of here. I'm talking a walk.

- I'm coming with you. - Oh, yeah. Where's your leash?

You see, you said it wouldn't affect how you feel about me.

I touch you right now, I'll get a freezer burn.

You were going to tell the truth.

Why would I lie about a thing like this?

- Because you're a liar. - I am not lying now.

Is that a lie, too? If you liar you lie about not lying.

- How do I know the difference? - Okay, you want proof?

You wanna see me change in front of you? Kiss me. Come on.

Come here!

[clucking] What's the matter, huh?

- Stop playing you stupid game-- - Who's playing?

Put your mouth, where your mouth is.

Kiss me. Stir me up. Prove to me that I'm wrong.

- Okay. - Come on.

Huh? Huh?

- Here I come. - Come on.

[violin music]

- Well? - Getting there.

- Have I changed? - Boy, I'll say.

[instrumental music continues]

[Kaz groaning]

- Kaz. - I've gotta stop!

Relax and go with it.

[screaming]

Stop it!

Ow! No!

[screaming]

Bingo! Heh heh heh.

Hey, wait!

Don't try and leave.

What do you think I'm doing this to impress Steven Spielberg?

[Kaz laughs]

[laughing continues]

You don't need water. You need a drink.

- 'Change back!' - I can't.

But it worked last time. Come in here, come on.

[whistling]

- Come on. Into the shower. - It's late for a cold shower.

It has to go away by itself, like a heat rash.

I can't take much more of this.

[telephone rings]

Oh-h-h!

Oh!

[grunting]

Because I'm hysterical!

Don't you think you're just overreacting a little bit?

Who's this?

Not now!

[laughing sarcastically]

Oh, my God!

[snarling]

[sniffing]

Oh, God!

[telephone rings]

What?!

Hey, I finally got you!

Now, how's about that dinner, huh?

[growling]

Rrr! Rrr, yourself, you little devil.

- Not tonight, Charles. - 'Why not?'

Because...I am having a heart attack!

He-hello.

Oh, Denny!

Ouch!

Kaz!

[laughing]

Come on, come on. Follow me here.

When I have something to say, I'll say it.

No comment.

I've got to talk to you. Now!

I think I know who the mangler is.

Or what he is.

Go on.

Hey, Valdez. You're not gonna faint on me, are you?

Phil..

...that day in the hospital, I saw who Miguela saw.

The mangler. In my own head, I saw him.

He's the devil, Phil.

You see, when he's not out hunting..

...he looks just like anybody else.

He's safe that way.

But if I can get close, tune in, you know

I can help you find him.

Baby, I know that what happened to your sister..

...it's a big shock for you.

'But you gotta quit pushing yourself so hard.'

I'm not crazy!

You come in here and you say..

[clears throat]

...you've seen the devil.

What am I supposed to think?

[laughing]

Forget it.

I'll find it myself with or without your help.

[Intimate Stranger singing "What Are You Waiting For"]

* Intimate stranger

* Caught by surprise

* Their perfect faces

* Tell no lies

* We have no time to spare to be cruel or unkind *

* We have to make the best of what we find *

* No crosses to bare No secrets to share *

* So what are you waiting for?

* Oh what are you waiting for?

(Denny) 'Kaz.'

Kaz.

[sighs]

I've been looking all over for you.

[rock music]

I wish you would trust me. I feel real positive about this.

We can work it out. I know we can.

- I'm a Pazatski. - Big deal.

I turn into a monster.

Piece of cake.

Listen, don't try to talk me out of this.

I've given it a lot of thought.

I miss you so much, Kaz.

I want you to come home.

I'm turning myself in.

To what?

No! To the cops.

I think I'm the mangler.

Ha ha ha.

- You? Get outta town! - Shh.

I'm serious. Every night I left your apartment

I never remembered where I went.

The way these girls are getting sliced up, what if it's me?

- What if I go after you? - You are not the mangler.

Kaz, I've been wrong about men my whole life..

...but not this time.

(Denny) Not about you.

Can I buy you a drink?

[giggling]

Can I buy you..

I'm sorry, I'm on my way to the men's room.

Yo, Jackie! Come on, come on, come on. Sit down.

It's alright.

- I didn't think you like me. - No, I don't.

- I'm not a bad guy, you know? - I'm sorry.

I've been listening to your conversations

over here and, um..

...it's no use, Jackie.

You're never going to find anybody here you could trust.

Secrets...they all got 'em.

Deep dark secrets.

- Yeah? - Yeah.

Okay, I'll prove it to you. You come home with me tonight

you change, and you don't run away this time.

Let me finish.

If you start to look at me like I'm a light snack

I'm out the door and into therapy before you know it.

I was born in Philadelphia, I mean, in the city proper.

Lot of people who say they were born in Philly

really mean the suburbs like Valley Kenwood

but I was actually in the city.

We didn't like our teachers, but we didn't shoot them.

- You'd be careful. - Mm-hmm.

- You promise? - I cross my heart.

And hope for the best for both of us.

- Denny. - Sonia! Hi!

- I missed you. - Oh, I missed you, too.

- Hi! Welcome to the city. - This who I think it is?

- Hi, Charles. - Hi.

- Hi. - Hi!

I thought she was never gonna let me meet you.

- Hi, Chuck Sawyer. - Hi.

You must be Denny's boyfriend, right?

- Right. - Denny..

and you look wonderful.

(Sonia) 'Thank you.'

Li-Like I said, I've been trying to reach you.

- There's been a problem-- - Uh, excuse me, Sonia.

Could I buy you a drink?

(Kaz) It's my pleasure.

We were just leaving, weren't we..

- Ow! - ...honey?

Don't you want to go home and change, hmm?

Come on.

- 'Bye.' - 'Goodbye, Charles.'

(Charles) 'Bye.'

[bongo music]

(Charles) 'Uh, this is fun place. What are we doing here?'

'What's that?'

'Sonia, what are you doing with that?'

Huh?

Hey! Are we going back to your place?

Well...come on.

[sighs]

Hey.

- Denny. - Hmm.

I can't.

You don't really wanna do this, do you?

Yes, I do.

[Denny moaning]

[intense music]

(Denny) Oh, no!

You look really, really awful.

Okay, we're gonna go for it now.

[furniture rattling]

Do you have to do that?

Do what?

[screams]

Oh!

- Oh-h-h! - A-a-ah!

Help me.

[evil laughter]

[screaming]

Speak not that name..

What?

Denny! He's taking over!

'Denny!'

(male neighbor) 'Shut up in there! What, you've got no consideration?'

I'm sorry, my boyfriend's possessed.

No!

No! No! No-o-o!

[screaming]

No!

[screaming]

You got any more Fritos?

Hey! What's on the tube?

[cracking]

Come on, it's early. You got any beer left?

[laughing]

Oh, my God!

[thud]

It's the date that wouldn't leave.

Where'd you put the cheese balls?

Come on. Come on!

So what's the matter? No man is good enough for you?

What are you, Miss Perfect? You're never gonna get married?

- You're too good. Is that it? - Yeah, look, no. I'm goin--

- Miss Too-good-for-anyone-- - Oh, Kaz! Make this stop!

Oh-h-h! This isn't happening to me.

I promise I won't go out on any more dates.

Cousin Bernice got married.

Just make this not be happening, lady.

'Lady, are you in there?'

Hello.

Hello.

'This isn't happening to me. I'm a nice girl.'

[whispering] Lady, are you in there?

[Denny screams]

[trumpeting]

(Kaz) 'Denny. Denny, I'm in here.'

Kaz.

'Kaz, is that you?'

[hissing]

Kaz, is that you?

A-a-ah!

[rock music]

[tires squealing]

[coughing]

What happened?

[clears throat]

- Did I do something? - You have to get out for this.

Why is it when a woman gets involved with a man

she starts hawkin' him to change?

Are you telling me you don't want to?

I can't. Not without hurting you. You're too close to me.

Fixer said that according to the legend--

Wait a minute!

Kaz...the demon took over, and you blacked out..

...and you didn't hurt me. You see I told you wouldn't.

Hah!

[rock music]

[telephone ringing]

Hello.

- Now? - 'Yes.'

Oh, God!

'You've got to help me. I'm in trouble.'

- Okay. - Hurry.

(Denny on phone) 'S-s-sonia?'

[dialtone]

- I have to go now. - Hey, hey, hey. Wait!

Thought we were having a pretty important conversation here.

I know, but it was Sonia, and it's..

- Something's ha-- - Oh!

I don't know. She sounded frantic. I have to go.

Yo, Chuckie. Go straight to the 6th Precinct.

Ask for Capitan Phil. Tell him I found what I was looking for.

- Where are you going? - Hunting.

I gotta go.

Meanwhile...you remember..

...you look ugly..

'...you talk ugly, but you are not the mangler.'

We've got other problems.

[door closes]

[Sonia grunts]

Ugly? What, is she crazy? I don't look that bad.

- Hello, Denny! - Oh.

You shouldn't be out late at night.

The boogeyman will get ya.

[squeaking]

- Charles, I had dinner.. - No. This isn't about dinner.

Sonia was worried about you and asked me to pick you up.

See, her car's right over there.

Thanks, Charles, I'm gonna take a taxi.

I don't think so.

Hey.

Ah!

- What do you want? - You.

So...that's why you got Denny to leave.

Well, look.

I'm very touched, but didn't she tell you?

You see, Denny and I are very much..

Sword.

What are you doing with a sword?

To kill you. You vicious, psychotic bastard!

[Denny groaning]

Oh!

Your head would look good in my shop. Ha ha ha!

Denny!

A-a-ah!

Hey!

Son of a bitch! What the..

A-ah!

Get outta here!

[engine revving]

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

[tires screeching]

I just remembered. I have a very important appointment.

Oh, shit!

Hey, what did I ever do to you?

Oh, you devil! I saw you change!

Oh, that. I was just kidding.

This is highly illegal!

Ah, ah!

Whoa-a!

Whoa-a!

[horns blaring]

Great, Charles, you bummers head!

Get off my car!

Peddling without a license, drunk and disorderly

resisting arrest, and vagrancy.

I'm no vagrant. I'm a squatter.

[screaming]

[tires screeching]

[siren wailing]

[screaming continues]

- Charles! To your left! - Crazy..

[screaming]

Pull over!

- It's just the mangler here. - Where?

They trying to kidnap me, boy! Got me change a woman.

I'm half-woman, anyways. Ha ha ha.

(Kaz) Hey!

Oh!

58 requesting backup. Central Park. Damn it!

[Sonia screaming]

We'll be home in just a little...while-e-e!

[all screaming]

[Denny groans]

Oh-h-h!

[Sonia gasping]

[grunting]

[grunting]

* ...that old time religion

[grunting]

[grunting]

[Charles singing in distance]

[grunts]

Ah!

[gasping]

A-ah! Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I cut you with this.. You're not a demon.

I cut you with this, and you're still alive.

Look, Sonia, you saw me change, but I'm not the mangler.

But if you're not the mangler...then who is?

[dramatic music]

[sirens wailing]

Sonia!

What the hell is this? Where is the mangler?

- He's up at the castle. - And he's got my woman!

* Gimme that old time religion

* Gimme that old time religion

Alright. Get in!

I will not. Just who do you think you are?

I'm the mangler.

Right.

Right.

Ah!

Hey, kid. Come on.

Good heavens.

[snaps fingers]

So.

- You want cookies? - No, thank you.

Come on, you're my guest. Let's go. Let's go.

Let's go.

I'm so glad you're here.

Yeah.

Here's my friend, William. Kiss.

This is the Bible. It-It's a little old.

It needs rebinding and stuff.

Oh, here, you know, I can teach you how to make that glove

like the one that I made to chloroform you.

It's real simple. It's real easy. Come over here.

I'm proud. You're really gonna love this. It's okay.

This is my, this is my laboratory.

I've got all my chemicals. Do you know what this is...boom!

And do you know what trinitrotoluene is?

- Mm-hmm. - What is it?

- TNT? - You get a cookie!

Ha ha ha!

(Kaz) 'Denny!'

Help me, please! Help, I'm up here!

Stay back, or I'll slash her throat wide open.

What are you waiting for? Come on, let's get up.

[thud]

It's locked.

- Get the battering ram! - Phil.

I know somebody who could climb up on here from behind.

- Who? - Him.

- Me? - Yes.

Whatever I saw you turn into, it had wings. Change. Go on.

What, just like that? What you think I am, a machine?

I can't turn on and off like a faucet. I need the mood.

I gotta have a paper lantern over a lightbulb, a couple--

- Denny's life is at stake. - Don't pressure me.

I'll never get a devil on.

I need...her eyes, warm skin, and the curves..

You're talking about sex?

Why didn't you say so? You just hit the mother lode, baby.

Don't fight it, boy. Let it take you all the way for once.

[Sonia laughing]

[Sonia moaning]

Look out! He's got a bomb!

What?

- Run! Run! - Move it, move it!

- 'Get outta here.' - 'Take cover.'

[both moaning]

And she's supposed to be my best friend.

Hey, are you upset about something?

[moaning continues]

Relax, I want you to enjoy this.

Oh, no!

(Sonia) 'Ah! A-ah!'

[both laughing]

[moaning]

(Kaz) 'Oh, my God.'

Let me see your hands.

[Ken laughing]

(Kaz) 'More. More! Ha ha ha.'

[Denny blowing]

[Denny continues blowing]

Stop that!

Please, Charles, listen to me. You need..

...psychiatric help.

You're mentally ill.

Oh, I like that in a man.

Ah, no way! Now what has he got?

Woman!

- And what do you want? - Blood!

- And how do you feel? - Fantastic!

Alright!

[grunting]

[continues grunting]

Go get him.

Officer, I'm Phil. Glad to see you.

Sharpshooter's here, sir.

Can you, uh, pick this guy off without hurting the girl?

No guarantees.

I'm sorry, Denny. I didn't want to kill you this way.

Oh, good, you really had me going there for a minute.

[growling]

A-ah!

[growling]

Denny, get outta here!

- Uh, is he a friend of yours? - Who? I don't see anyone.

Go downstairs!

- Are you talking to me? - What's the matter with you?

What's the matter with me? What's the matter with you? Huh?

(Denny) 'You've got some nerve..'

Shit.

I saw you and Sonia.

- I was doing it for you. - You were enjoying it!

(Kaz) 'You know everything, don't you, Ms. Better-than-everybody-else.'

(Denny) 'Don't you talk to me in that tone of voice.'

It's showtime.

Get the band! There's gonna be fireworks.

- I'm doing this for your good. - I'm sure you a..

Do you think we could discuss this later?

Kaz!

Oh, my God! There's a Pazatski up there.

Look!

Oh-h!

The water, Kaz! Throw it in the water!

Oh!

Oh, no!

* ...an old time

[whistling]

Way to go, bro. Ha ha!

[explosion]

(men) 'One, two, three.'

- A-a-ah! - Battering ram is here, sir.

[explosions continue]

One, two, three.

(men together) A-a-ah!

- Let's go get him. - Follow me.

Come on, this way! This way, right here!

(Charles) You know, I'd like to meet your parents.

That way!

Kaz!

Kaz!

[growling]

Ha ha ha.

Go away!

[growling]

Come on! Over there!

[groaning]

[screams]

O-o-ooh.

[gasping]

Ha ha ha.

Young man..

...you're disobeying me.

I thought I was ugly.

[electricity sizzling]

Kaz, what's happening?

[groaning]

Ugh!

Ouch!

Change back, you can't fight him like that!

[screams]

- Leather G-strings. - Wet French kissing.

[screams]

Hey, I don't have any underwear on.

[screams]

Oh, Bibi Chaskaluska, where are you when I need you?

Hey! You know Bibi, huh? Hell of a girl

but her grandmother was kind of a drag.

[groaning]

Oh, Kaz! Help me!

[Denny screams]

It was meant to be.

[screams]

Oh, Denny!

[crack]

Ah!

Denny! Run!

(Kaz) 'Oh, Denny! Run!'

Let's talk.

- Oh, no! - Get away from him, Kaz!

Here you go, Pazatski! Find the scar!

Kaz!

- Ah! Aah! - 'Ha ha ha.'

Great shoes, those Italian.. Aah!

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

Need a hand?

Sex doesn't pay. It's bad for your complexion.

Stick him, Pazatski!

Stick him? You say stick him?

You see how big that son of a bitch is?

Ha ha ha!

Kaz! Somebody do something!

Kill that guy! Come on!

Kaz!

I can't believe it. You stabbed me!

I got him!

(Denny) 'Somebody help..'

[screaming]

[indistinct chatter]

A-a-a-ah!

You did a good thing. A real good thing.

A-ah!

[squeaking]

[roaring]

Oh..

Just another day in the big city.

Let's go home, boys in blue.

Terrific, kid!

[hissing]

[exhales forcefully]

- Are you alright? - You know what?

I think maybe I am.

[both giggling]

[popping]

[cameras clicking]

Hey, how 'bout some..

See you later, pal.

Could you, uh, take the battering ram

back to the department? See if that was standard.

I was real proud of you back there.

I think you're pretty great.

- Oh, Denny! - What?

- Do you know what this means? - What?

Look.

- Yeah? - Look! The scar is gone.

Fixer was right.

He said if I did something really noble

the curse would jump right out of me and into..

- Oh, no. - What?

I forgot about that part.

Denny, would you do something for me?

Sure, I--

Mmm! Ha ha ha. What are you doing?

- You're okay! - What's the idea?

Fixer said whoever was closest to me would get the curse.

But I was nowhere near you.

- No, no, no, he meant-- - Hold it.

- Are you telling me...that we-- - Ah!

Wanna take a shower, fruitburger?

Yeah.

Right, sarge. Yeah.

Hey, baby!

Let's howl!

A-a-ah!
