This is the Kern Horns?

Mm-hmm.

That's the 36th flood.

Horns was there long before the Civil War.

Horns means tradition.

Uh, Mr. Thayer, this young lady's been waiting here to see you.

No, I don't have time.

I'm gonna be upstairs with the air conditioning people.

Good morning.

Bye.

Bye.

Mr. Thayer.

Mr. Thayer!

Make an appointment with Mr. Thayer.

I've been with my secretary.

I've made three appointments with your secretary.

You've canceled every one.

Well, keep trying.

Mr. Thayer, your windows suck.

I mean, your displays are very boring.

Are you a critic?

No, I'm a window dresser.

I'll give you three minutes.

Well, you've got guts, young lady.

And some fresh ideas.

Okay, I'll give you a window.

One window.

If I like what I see...

You will.

...then we'll talk about a contract.

Agreed?

Agreed.

I've gotta have the corner window.

Well, that figures.

Anything else?

No, leave the rest to me.

Good.

Okay.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Yes, yes.

Good luck.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you so much!

Well, it was just the doggiest merchandise you ever saw.

I mean, wool skirts and little sweaters.

And blouses with bows.

Oh, it was ghastly, ghastly, ghastly.

I mean, we really winky would not have been caught dead in one of these

outfits.

Lionel, how do you find anything in here?

Oh, I don't.

I just ask Nan.

Who's Nan?

Nan, she's the other person nobody wants to work with.

Oh.

Totally unsophisticated, okay?

And shy.

I mean, this girl has got zero self-confidence.

But honey, what she can do with a staple gun?

Ooh!

What do you think?

Hmm.

I'd wear it.

Nan?

What?

What do you think?

You want my opinion?

Well, you're one of us, aren't you?

Yeah.

Uh, well, it's, uh, very revealing.

It's very old-fashioned, too.

You wear it.

Thank you.

I found it.

Hello, Nan.

Nan, where do you want the lavenders?

Outside, outside there and outside there.

You don't mean outside, outside.

Oh, yeah, outside.

Ooh-hoo!

Come on.

Come on.

Who are you?

I'm the new window dresser.

Right.

This is Froggy.

I can see where she got her name.

Froggy protects the store after hours.

If you're gonna be working late, it's best you get to know her.

No kidding.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Gotcha.

Gotcha, gotcha.

You are not going to believe this.

It is outrageous.

Oh, I love his hair.

It's luscious.

Let's go.

Come on.

Oh, there's Mrs. Thayer and Mr. Thayer.

You can do it, you can do it.

Go get him.

Baird.

That's quite a scene.

Not what I expected.

Charles, you have to take down that window.

It's in the worst possible taste.

Why, it's obscene.

Elizabeth.

I am serious.

It's a terrible reflection on the store.

You mean it's a terrible reflection on you.

Well, have you any idea what our friends are going to say?

Well, I know what your friends are going to say.

Oh, by the way, I don't think you two have met.

This is Katia Yarnow, my wife Elizabeth.

Oh, hi.

Pleased to meet you.

Miss Yarnow designed the window.

Oh?

Really?

Yes.

I'm just telling her I'm giving her a six-month contract.

You are?

Yes.

You are?

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

Oh, this is great.

This is so great.

This position

is really uncomfortable.

Okay, just be patient.

A few more minutes and we'll be all through.

Hello?

What?

Yeah, three black guys.

Don't worry though, they're gone now.

Who is this?

Somebody who's on the same track as you.

If you know what I mean.

Hey, I saw you, I saw these guys.

Wasn't hard to figure out what was on their mind.

Anyway, they're gone now.

So, uh, Katia, stay on track.

You can see her crotch.

You can see her crotch.

What is your problem?

Hey, it's sick.

That's the problem.

Gotta lock her up and throw away the key.

Maybe you're missing the point.

Like hell I am.

You know, there are kids that walk by here.

Somebody should rip this shit down.

Hi, I'm Matt O'Dell, Pittsburgh Magazine.

My office called you.

You want me to come in there?

Okay.

So it doesn't bother you being able to hear everything they say?

Well, they can't hear us, so don't worry about it.

Hey, I'm not worried.

I got nothing to hide.

So, you don't mind having people watch your work?

No, I like it.

I feed off their reactions and then they feed off my displays.

It helps bring every window to life.

I see.

So where are we going?

It's a converted railway station.

I think you'll like it.

Definitely quite.

Where do you get your ideas?

Everywhere.

You'll see a girl bend over to pick up a glass...

and the way her pearls will sway, it'll just click to me.

So I'll have the mannequin break the glass on the floor...

and just bend over to pick it up...

and the pearls will sway, and that'll be my pearl window.

You gotta challenge people's reality...

and feed their fantasies at the same time, I think.

So what about your fantasies?

Ah, what about yours?

Uh, getting better all the time.

You ready for another?

Ah, are you trying to get me drunk?

Crossed my mind, yeah.

Then you take advantage of me, right?

No, somehow that doesn't seem possible.

You're right.

I should be going.

Could I call you?

Yeah.

My number's listed.

Bye.

Excuse me.

Bye.

Hello?

Hi, it's Mac.

Hi.

I just...

I'm making sure you got home all right.

Yeah, I'm fine.

Except for the zipper.

Oh, now I see what you mean about feeding people's fantasies.

You like zippers?

Oh, yeah.

I'm a sucker for them.

You do a zipper window, I might never recover.

I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah, okay.

I'm here if you need any more inspiration.

Uh, I guess I should let you go, huh?

Yeah.

Good night.

Good night.

Hi.

Maybe you should find out who you're talking to first.

Who is this?

You know, I know exactly what you're doing in those windows.

You're telling people, cut through the bullshit, look around, and you'll see

what I see.

You're the one who called me before, aren't you?

Truth really is stranger than fiction.

Right?

Listen, it's really late, you know?

People don't want to know the truth.

Not about themselves.

Behind the blank stares, the plastic smiles, the wooden faces, they're all

scared shitless.

That's where you come in.

You make them look.

You tease them.

You turn them on.

You grab them by the balls and squeeze.

I love it.

It's great.

We see it the same way.

What is it you want?

I want the grand tour, baby.

You see

that?

This, this is quaint.

This is definitely quaint.

Now, Katya, don't get too excited.

I'm house-sitting.

For the night?

For the whole summer.

Look.

Look at this.

Yeah.

Excuse you.

This is great.

If I'm not careful, I can get serious about you.

I just have to get my bearings, okay?

Okay.

Ay-yi-yi.

That a girl.

You do that.

See?

You pull.

Huh?

All time.

All time.

Hey, want to help Daddy make a phone call?

Huh?

Help Daddy make a phone call on your little phone here?

Just like Daddy?

See how well you know these numbers, huh?

Okay.

Okay.

We're gonna do five, five, five.

Five, five, five.

Good girl.

Daddy!

You know I'm close.

You?

How did you know?

Oh, I know.

I know all about you.

You come from a small town with small minds.

After school, you'd go to the one drugstore in town with all the glamour

magazines.

You'd sit there for hours, looking at all those pictures of fancy-dressed

people.

You'd pretend that you were one of them.

And you'd dream about the day that you could escape from that small little town

and all those small little minds.

Well, now you can, buttercup.

How do you know all these things?

Who was that?

There are more bags in the car.

Come on, honey.

Stay there with Daddy.

I'll make you two something to eat, okay, sweetheart?

Chelsea, come here.

Hello?

Daddy?

Katya?

Hey, what's up, buttercup?

Nothing.

I'm just calling to see how everything is.

Oh, your mother has a cold.

Nothing serious, but you know how she is.

She's got Father Theodore lighting candles for her every hour.

Daddy, has anybody unusual asked about me?

Uh, no, not that I can think of.

Uh, by the way, did you get my letter?

What letter?

I mailed it Wednesday.

You ought to have to find out.

Oh, well, it's the mails.

You know how that is.

Something wrong, buttercup?

I love you, Daddy.

Tell Mama she's in my prayers, okay?

Who's here?

Okay.

Oh, Mr. Thayer!

What a smart suit.

Have you seen out of their window?

I sure like it.

Now, at least they're wearing clothes.

He likes it.

I think he likes it.

Come on, smile.

He likes it.

Oh, God.

Froggy.

Oh, Lionel, I'm so sorry.

I forgot about the dog.

Thank God the guard gave me this.

Did I tell you how much fun I had working overtime with you?

It's okay.

Nice doggy.

Good!

That is definitely a female.

I want it back.

Maybe you haven't found it yet.

It's your favorite kind.

Listen, you bastard, you better stop calling me!

By the way, how's your mom?

Is she over a cold?

I bet she was sick and alive when you were growing up.

I bet she was sick and alive when you were growing up.

Every time she saw the way that your father looked at you...

Stop it!

...it's the way all men looked at you.

Stop it.

It's the way you want to be looked at.

Listen, I have called the police, okay?

You better stop bothering me!

You know, you have got great fantasies.

Your only problem is that you're afraid to act them out.

But you can't leave them in the window forever.

You need to be pushed.

That's why you love it so much from behind.

All right.

Jack, I'm busy.

No.

No.

No.

Ladies and gentlemen, employees of Horace.

For those of you who don't know me, if that's possible, I'm Charles Thayer.

Please, please, I'm the one who should be applauding.

Because of your efforts, sales have never been higher.

Now, that doesn't mean, of course, that we can rest on our laurels.

No, as a matter of fact, we have a very elaborate advertising campaign coming

up...

...sparked in great measure by the wonderful work of the new creative talent we

have hired.

A new member of our family of employees, Miss Katya Yano.

There she is back there.

Congratulations, Katya.

And now, let's have a party.

Whoo!

And finally, a smile.

But she won't laugh.

It's because of the freak.

Who?

The freak.

The obscene phone call.

Didn't she tell you?

There's nothing to tell.

Oh, my mother of pearls.

What happened to you?

Do I look okay?

You look great.

Thanks.

We have to do these phone surveys.

Um, madam, could you tell me how many times a week you dine out, eat in,

barbecue, engage in coitus?

Classy.

Very classy.

Natural mode.

He's not a kid, you know.

No, he's a weenie-wagger.

A what?

A what?

A weenie-wagger.

I mean, that's what the cops call him.

I read this article once on a called girl who used to advertise in their sleazy

magazines.

For a certain fee, she'd give these guys her phone number, and they'd call her

up.

She'd get them off.

You guys, this isn't anything to joke about.

Hey, look.

This guy is harmless.

He's just some poor slob who hasn't got anything better to do.

This guy is different.

Okay?

The streets cry.

You feeling

better?

Well, that's what the party's for.

It's not the party.

It's the guests.

It is a lovely party.

Yes, I think it's going very well.

Great party, Mr. Mayor.

Love that gown, Liz.

You turn.

Now it's my turn.

Hey, guys.

Having fun?

My place?

Uh-uh.

Uh-uh what?

We're not going to your place.

Oh?

Where are we going?

I don't know.

We have to ask the captain.

Miss Katja.

Oh, we're back.

Feeling better, Katja?

Just a little.

Ow!

See you later.

We're here.

We're here.

Okay.

So what does that mean?

We got to get out?

This is your apartment?

That's a what?

Yeah.

The heck?

...this guy a couple of times.

Now maybe we'll get some fingerprints.

Give us a date of dusk, will you?

I don't know.

Maybe I should have...

You did the right thing.

I didn't even see his face.

Uh, how about your girlfriend?

No, she didn't see him either.

All she saw was his shoes...

and a knife.

Here's David Halliday.

Jennifer liked it, huh?

Happy?

Huh?

Give me a little more apple juice.

Good girl.

Good girl.

Thanks.

Hey, Rip.

I knew you were going to be late for work.

Okay, come on.

Give me a big kiss here.

I got to go to work.

Kiss.

Good girl for Mommy.

Say bye to Daddy.

Say bye to Daddy.

Bye, Dad.

Bye.

Okay, miss.

There's no way anybody's going to come in that way anymore.

It's a good thing you got that answering machine.

I'll change the locks though, all right?

If you can't get to the phone right now, please leave a message and we'll

return your call.

Thank you.

Lionel?

Have you seen Lionel?

Thanks, kid.

Lionel?

I'm Jack.

Fantasy Jack.

Fairytale Jack.

Come on.

You know Jack.

Jack the Ripper.

Jack in the Box.

Jack Sprat who ate no fat.

Which means there's no limit to what I can do to you.

I can climb to the sky in a beanstalk.

Or I can fuck you right through this door.

No!

Not as

hot as I am.

100 degrees, maybe.

Oh.

By the way, one last thing.

Bars aren't going to keep me out.

Jack's too nimble.

Jack's too quick.

Jack slides right in with his candlestick.

Shit!

Looking for

you.

You scared me.

I have something for you.

Ah!

It's your interview.

It's a pretty good piece.

Although not as personal as I would have liked.

Thank you.

This is great.

Are you ready for another?

You're not trying to get me drunk, are you?

Of course I'm trying to get you drunk.

You better.

You smell great.

I love to smell your sweat.

What's wrong?

That's what he said.

Katia, you can't let this guy get to you.

Don't want to talk about it.

Well, you have to talk about it.

I don't have to talk about anything.

You don't know.

I've got to get out of here.

Excuse me.

Katia!

I can't.

Mac!

I can't.

Shh.

It's okay.

Shh.

Hey, hey.

It's okay.

Shh.

It's okay.

I appreciate you coming in so early.

Who can sleep in this heat?

Miss.

I'm done.

I'm done, Miss.

I want you to bar the rest of the house, okay?

Every window.

There's no way anybody could get in here now unless he's a paratrooper.

He came from the roof!

I want you to bar every window in here!

Now, okay?

Please.

Just do it now, okay?

Okay.

I think she's gone too far.

You tell her.

Tell her she can't cut a mannequin in half and stick his head outside the

window?

She's already done it.

Look at her.

I can't do windows like this, Katia.

Giving people ideas they can't handle.

They look awful.

Look.

I want you to take a rest.

We'll call it a leave of absence.

Jasper, do we have a chance?

I don't know.

Katia!

Katia!

Katia!

Everyone just go away and leave me alone.

Please leave a message and we'll return your call.

Thank you.

Hi, Katia, it's Mac.

I heard you were off work for a while.

Katia, are you okay?

Listen, I spoke to the police.

It's not very encouraging news.

I haven't been able to make an identification.

Maybe they'll get lucky, I don't know.

Anyway, at least they promised to stay on the case.

Katia, I just hope...

Give me a call, okay?

Okay.

Come on.

We can't get to the phone right now.

Please leave a message and we'll return your call.

Thank you.

Buttercup?

I know you're there.

Don't change your number again.

You can't get away from me.

You know why?

Because I'm already inside you.

Crawled inside your head and I'm never coming out.

If you've ever been fucked from the inside out, it may hurt a little.

But after a while, you won't want it any other way.

Because, baby, you've got a great imagination.

We can't get

to the phone right now.

Please leave a message and we'll return your call.

Thank you.

Hi, it's Nan and Lionel.

Long time no hear.

Listen, we miss you and we love you.

Give us a call, huh?

Zack!

Enough!

Call me.

Call me, you bastard!

Call me!

What a fucking time!

I'm getting tired of this shit!

I think I knew you'd answer sooner or later, huh?

Because you can't imagine it without me anymore.

Can you, baby?

Can you?

I think it's time we met.

Face to face, just you and me.

You got it, baby.

You got it.

Allegheny Bridge, 10 o'clock.

You be there.

Alone.

I will.

Poor Jack.

Well, here I am, you son of a bitch!

You took away my nights.

And then you took away my days!

You made me afraid to leave my own home.

But you're not gonna get to me anymore!

Oh, no?

No.

Because if you do so, help me God, I'm gonna get you!

I mean it.

I'm gonna do it with this.

Because it's like you said, baby, I got a great imagination!

So?

So you fuck with me, and I'll fuck out and scrape your head off the sidewalk!

What's your hurry?

The deal is, it's not over till I say it's over.

What's the matter?

You think I've been fucking with you so far?

Huh?

Shit, baby, this is just foreplay.

The real fucking comes later.

And you can count on it.

And you can dream about it.

But don't you ever think that you can stop it.

Because I can take you out mind, or body, whenever I want.

Sweet dreams, buttercup.

Hi.

I'm looking for an E.

Witkowski.

Does an E.

Witkowski live here?

My mother's name is Eva.

Can I talk to your mother for a minute?

She's at mass.

Do you know who your mother's doctor is?

Are you from the welfare office?

No.

It's a secret.

It's only a couple of blocks down the street.

Would you show me?

Okay.

Thank you.

Well, there's no reason to take any chances.

That's what I thought.

So you should get that wrist x-rayed.

I use a place near here.

Two brothers, they're very good.

Do you ever use anyone else, just in case?

Well, there's a lab downtown.

Where downtown?

On Fifth Avenue.

It's right across from that big department store.

You know, uh...

Horms.

My best to Mrs. Witkowski.

Gus, cash my paycheck.

I'll be back.

Price.

I'm sorry.

Sure, we can do that.

There's no problem.

Great.

How many would you like?

It's cheaper by the dozen.

I would like 100.
