You are ready for new adventures
New horizons New lovers. New orgasms
- Well ? - I'm 35 , I'm not 25
I don't need a date, I need a relationship
Preferably one where something happens this time
Sure , but in case you've forgotten how it works
first you meet somebody, then you have a relationship
Oh , thank you , Dr. Ruth
Do you work here , or do you just go from office to office , offering advice ?
Oh , will you take a look at Chapter 6 ? I think I might have cut too deep
Well , you didn't show it to the author yet , did you ?
Yeah , I did
And ?
He said , "I'll discuss it with Carly"
You cut too deep
Never show it to the author before you give it to me first , okay ?
- Sorry - It's okay
I'm sure the cuts are good
And the author's a pussycat, so don't worry about it This is good
Where are you with the James Dean bio ?
Marketing wants to up the publishing date
I'll be done with it by the end of the weekend
You're a genius , Carly
Sure , who wouldn't be on your social schedule ?
There's a Mrs. McEvoy on line 1 She says it's important
- Do you want to talk to her ? - Yeah
And Mr. Parsons called He wants to take you to lunch at L'Adagio
That means I'm not getting my raise
- Mrs. McEvoy - Good news , my dear.

Come on , I've got two free arms
You want me to take this other one for you ?

Naomi Singer.
- When did she move ? - Well , she didn't She...
She jumped out the window
I'm sorry , I didn't mean to... I've never had much goddamned tact

Oh , I teach all aspects of it Cameras , camcorders
This way
Now , why don't you talk to Lynn Nesbit about him ?
His last book didn't sell very well Perhaps he's getting itchy at Random
Perhaps he's blaming their marketing and not the thinness of his characters
Perhaps you can convince Lynn to alert him to the inadequacies
- of their marketing department - Are we negotiating , Alex ?
Oh , I wouldn't call it that
He's an attractive man , isn't he ?
Alex , I ask you for a raise, and you take me out to lunch...

- Naomi - Yeah
Somebody's already told you I guess they would have
- Were you friends ? - Well , sort of
I mean , she was only here about a year.

Ass-pinching Italians My bum is still blue
I couldn't believe it , though
I mean, she just didn't seem like the type
- Were you here when she... - Yeah
She came over to borrow some coffee the night before
- I didn't have any - Caffeine withdrawal
That would do it to me
That's my agent He's a slimy bastard
Just a goddamned second, all right , Michael ?

I live in the building , too
We met in the lobby when you were moving in last weekend ?
Anyway , listen , I was just calling to let you know that if you...

11:30 on Monday ?
Oh , well , I'll do it anytime they will
I mean , I have to see them They're state-of-the-art
... defensive system is extraordinarily developed
Acute schizophrenic , non-paranoid
Classic Jekyll-and-Hyde syndrome
Clearly a great danger to women
No , no , no It's so good to hear your voice
... we could rent one
Well , that's an idea
Hi , Zeke It's Carla Norris
Thanks for your call I...
If I ever get unpacked around here...
I was thinking of having a cocktail party on Friday night
Sometime after 6:00
And I was wondering if you'd like to come
Okay , I hope that you do Bye-bye
Brother !
- Oh , you think that was funny ? - Yeah
I didn't think that was funny You scared the shit out of me

You don't like sex and violence ? It sells , you know
It buys ranches in Montana , I'm told
You've been checking on me I like that
- Thank you - For what ?
For stopping
Now , how about gossip ? About James Dean , for instance
Doesn't that sell ?
You've been checking on me I don't like that
I hear you're very good at the tell-alls
I guess that comes from being married to a very boring guy
You just like all the juicy talk
- Fuck you - Would you like to ?
I can try and make myself available Hey , look...
come on , I'm a writer. People tell me their secrets
and I just take notes Like Truman Capote
- You could tell me your secrets - I don't have any secrets
Sure you do
What secrets do I have ?
I'd never tell
Did you send me the telescope ?
- Telescope ? - Yeah
Why would I send you a telescope ?
Hey

Now , this is very interesting
It looks like Lalique , but it's not It's a copy
You're right about that , Alex
Nothing in the haunted house is what it appears to be
They've remodeled it completely
Who owns it ?
I heard it was some law firm downtown
No That's a false front I checked on that once
I bet I could find out who owns it
I know some people
I could make a few calls if you really want to know
Pete , don't
It could be the Mob We could be supporting crack dealers
Then what are we gonna do ? Move out ?
There's an idea
Thank you
- It's a great party - Thank you
Hey there Can I get you something ?
I'm fine , thanks
- So , how do you like the new place ? - Oh , yeah
Did you know Naomi Singer ?
Not really I saw her around a few times
I wonder why she did it
Yeah I don't know , I think I read something about boyfriend troubles
Oh , they're doing it !
Oh , they are ! I can't believe it !
Something exciting happening
I don't believe it They are !
Let me see Let me see
Oh , they sure are
Would you look at her ? She's a voyeur. She can't get enough
- I am not - Yes , you are
That's why you have this telescope out here
- It's not even mine ! - You're a peeper ! A peeper !
Somebody gave this to me
- Right - Everybody has a telescope
- I don't - I do
- Thank you - I do , too
I'm shocked I'm truly shocked You people are shameless
You're all shameless What is with you guys ?
- Will you look at that ? - Come on , Alex

That was a great party
I thank you
You're welcome
Who knows , maybe next time I'll even get an invitation , huh ?
- Maybe - Oh , you got to be careful
Maybe means "yes" to an old ex-journalist like myself
The operative word being "ex"
Yeah
But us investigative reporters never lose the instinct...
to jump in at the slightest opening
That would explain you jumping out at me in the park , then , I guess
No
That was a tactic I developed in junior high school to get the babes
It didn't work then , either.
You don't go out much , do you ?
I thought...
maybe in lieu of the gym...
you might want to go to dinner with me
Maybe
I'll take that maybe as a yes
- Goodnight , Carla - Goodnight , Jack
... should climb to about 69 degrees
Humidity levels slipping to about 15%

Just want to keep your hips straight
Anyone ever tell you you've got a very nice butt ?
- I already know you're a liar. - You do
Nobody's told me that in a long time
Well , that's because the wrong people have been looking at it
That's true
- How often do you work out ? - Three , four times a week
I'm starving How about you ?
Yeah

You like it ?
Yeah I love it I play it all the time
- So you really do have the beer. - I told you it wasn't a ruse
Thank you
- What's that ? - A volcano
I've always loved them
I'd like to fly into one sometime
Why ?
I don't know It sounds like fun
Don't you think ?
I have to go
- Please , I... - It's okay
You're so beautiful , Carly
They'll see
I want to see
I want to see you
It's okay
It's okay I'm here
What are you worried about ?
Somebody's watching you like you watch them ?
Why don't you come over here with me and lie down ?
Why ? So you can talk dirty to me some more ?
Please ?
Oh , I have to go
It's my building , Carly I own it
I even helped redesign it
My father owned a bunch of hotels , so I...
I inherited a lot of money
And I didn't want to be bothered with a lot of hassles...
so I just don't tell people that I own it
Did you tell Mrs. McEvoy to give me special treatment ?
No
But I did approve your application quickly
You had me all plotted out , huh ?
I just thought we would like each other.
You're not angry with me , are you ?
Boy , have I got something to tell you You're not going to believe it !
This is Judy Will you call me ?
Where have you been ? I've been trying to call you all day
Something's going on , I can smell it
You've probably been having multiple orgasms
You've probably been fucking your brains out
I have
Carly , Alex is all over me about the Dean book
Please , please work on it this weekend Bye
Goodnight
Sleep tight , don't let the bedbugs bite
You do look like you fucked your brains out Look at you
What are you smiling at ? That damn éclair ?
- I'm just smiling That's all - Tell me
I want to know everything Every little grunt Every little wiggle
There's nothing to tell
You've been spending too much time with your vibrator.
I certainly have I'm getting a plastic yeast infection
Who is he ? Do I know him ? Tell me
- Tell me - You met him
I met him ? And I didn't pin him to the wall and ravish him myself ?
And you got him ? Now I'm pissed Who ?
It's Zeke You met him at my apartment
That gorgeous , young , incredible... Oh , my God , I hate you
I really hate you How is he ?
Give me the goods. Is he insatiable ? I bet he's insatiable
They all are at that age Lead pencils , that's what they are
I hate you I really , really hate you
I mean , I go away with the other one , right...
for what I think is going to be a hot , steamy weekend...
and you're reloading a lead pencil
I must have done something terrible in my past life
- Wait You went off with who ? - Jack Landsford
Who's not even a sharpened pencil, let me tell you
We went to Montauk Stayed in a cabin
- What happened ? - Nothing Not a damn thing
The earth definitely did not move
All he did was ask about you You know , you should go out with him
Just to find out for me if he's even got a pencil
I'll bet it's something blue
Something intimate
Something lacy
Something whorish
How did you get in here ?
The door was open
I've lived in New York for 10 years and I've never left my door open
Well , maybe you did this time
- Maybe the super did - I don't think so I want you to leave
He was having an affair with Naomi Singer.
Maybe she smelt like flowers , too
Maybe you two use the same spermicide
- I'm calling... - She was seeing a shrink
She told the shrink about your boyfriend
And after Naomi was murdered, the shrink told the police
He's not my boyfriend
Oh ? Well , what the hell is he , then ?
The neighborhood florist ? I saw you two in the lobby together.
I'm not blind
My God , you really do look like her.
She died right here
She went off that balcony
You don't really know what you're dealing with , do you ?
He's fucked up
He's so very , very sick
You don't believe me , do you ?
All right Here
You call Lieutenant Hendrix 16th Precinct Go on
Go on Ask her.
Your boyfriend owns the building
I bet you didn't know that , did you ?
I'll bet he didn't tell you , did he ?
Yes , he did
You know how difficult it was for the police to discover that ?
This guy has more false fronts, more high-powered attorneys...
than Richard fucking Nixon !
You know what I think ?
I think you can't write anymore
And I think you're making this up to hide the fact that you can't
I'm sorry for you , Jack
I really am
But if I ever find you in my apartment again...
I'm gonna have you thrown out of the building
Goodbye
Are you hungry ?
- I've already eaten - Liar.

Because he was already in this room, but I didn't see him
And when he came out, I saw that he had a gun
He started screaming at me
And...
Sorry
Then we wrestled around on the ground
And...
the gun skidded across the floor there...
and I picked it up
How did he get in ?
Your door wasn't forced
He must have had a key
I mean , it was just like before He was already in here
He had these in his pocket
Try them

Assaulted his ex-wife more than once She dropped charges
