Man: SO HOW MANY KIDS DO WE WANT?
Woman: I DON'T KNOW... WHAT'S THE STATISTICAL NORM?
OH... YOU AND YOUR STATISTICS.
ONE POINT TWO.
HM... OKAY, THEN I WANT TWO POINT TWO.
AND I WANT THEM TO LOOK LIKE YOU.
OH, THOSE POOR KIDS.
SO, AM I GOING TO BE ABLE TO DRAG YOU AWAY FROM YOUR COMPUTER
TO BUY YOU THAT RING?
SURE.
YEAH?
SO IS THIS GOING TO BE A REAL WEDDING?
WHAT, AS OPPOSED TO A FAKE ONE?
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN:
YOU'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUGH THE BIG CEREMONY.
THAT WAS THE FAKE ONE.
THIS IS THE REAL ONE.
WE CAN HAVE ANY KIND OF A WEDDING YOU WANT:
UNDERWATER, AT THE STEAM ROOM AT THE "Y"...
HORSEBACK...
NAKED SKYDIVING?
NAKED SKYDIVING.
OKAY.
IT'LL HAVE TO BE A SMALL ONE.
I HAVEN'T BEEN IN NEW YORK LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW MANY PEOPLE.
EXCEPT ME.
WELL, YOU'RE INVITED.
THANK YOU.
AND MY FRIEND GRAHAM UPSTAIRS.
HM...
IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE YOU KNOW
HALF THE PEOPLE IN NEW YORK.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU, YOU KNOW.
BUT I FOUND YOU FIRST.
YOU'RE THE ONLY FRIEND I NEED.
YOU'RE THE BEST THING THAT EVER HAPPENED TO ME.
YEAH?
YEAH.
(phone rings)
(ring)
HELLO?
This is Lisa. May I speak to Sam?
HOLD ON A SECOND.
SAM?
IT'S YOUR EX-WIFE.
WHAT?
IT'S LISA.
Hello?
YEAH.
We need to talk.
NO.
Sam, why?
BECAUSE...
Sam, you can't...
I'M HANGING UP NOW.
Don't. You said you'd call me...
I'M SORRY.
SHE SHOULDN'T CALL HERE.
IT'S WHERE YOU LIVE. SHE'S ENTITLED.
(phone rings)
DON'T... DON'T ANSWER IT.
(ring)
(click and beep)
Hi, this is Allison Jones...
WHY DOES SHE DO THIS?
TALK TO HER... YOU'RE UP.
ALL RIGHT.
I'LL GET THAT.
(beep)
Lisa: Hello, Sam? Sam?
Hello? Please don't do this to me...
Sam: LISA.
I've been sitting here since you left this afternoon...
YEAH, CAN WE TALK TOMORROW?
You can't just sleep with me...
HOW DO YOU SHUT THIS OFF?
You said...
(shuts off machine)
I've been waiting for you to call.
You said you cared about me.
What were you... Hello?
Sam?
UH-HUH.
OKAY. GOOD-BYE.
(hangs up phone)
I TAKE IT BACK.
SHE'S NOT ENTITLED.
I DIDN'T GO THERE INTENDING TO SLEEP WITH HER.
I SWEAR TO GOD.
I FEEL BETTER KNOWING IT WAS ACCIDENTAL.
IT WAS THE ANNIVERSARY OF OUR DIVORCE.
SHE'D HEARD WE WERE MARRYING. SHE'D BEEN DRINKING.
I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THIS.
I FEEL BAD FOR HER.
SHE MAKES ME FEEL GUILTY.
ALLIE, BELIEVE ME, IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.
BELIEVE? BELIEVE YOU?
I'M SUPPOSED TO TRUST YOU?
THINK ABOUT HOW I FEEL.
(doorbell rings)
JESUS, IT'S 4:00 A.M.
IT'S ME, GRAHAM.
ALLIE.
UM, I'M SORRY.
THIS... SAM LEFT.
I TOLD HIM TO.
AND, UM... I CAN'T BE ALONE TONIGHT
SO I CAME UP HERE.
THANKS.
ALLIE?
I'LL LET YOU SLEEP.
WHAT TIME IS IT?
ABOUT 10:00.
OH, MY GOD.
I'VE GOT A MEETING.
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
Hostess: I HAVE YOUR RESERVATION FOR 7:00.
- HI. - HI
SORRY I'M LATE.
NO, IT'S WORTH THE WAIT.
THANK YOU. SO...
YOU CAN REDEFINE YOUR PRODUCT ON SCREEN
WITHOUT AN EXPENSIVE REDESIGN.
THIS IS ALLISON JONES SOFTWARE.
IT'S A MARKETING TOOL NO ONE ELSE HAS.
WHO DO I GET TO RUN IT?
I TRAIN EVERYONE. THAT'S IN THE QUOTE.
AH, THE QUOTE...
THAT'S ONE THING I HAVEN'T SEEN.
BEST FOR LAST.
I THINK YOU'LL FIND THAT'S REASONABLE.
THAT'S THE BALLPARK.
HERE'S WHERE I WAS THINKING OF PLAYING.
IT MAKES SENSE FOR YOU.
AFTER OUR LAST MEETING, I MADE CALLS...
TO YOUR FORMER PARTNER, FOR ONE.
I WOULDN'T RELY ON WHAT SHE SAYS.
IT WAS NOT A FRIENDLY SPLIT: I DID ALL THE WORK AND...
SHE TOOK ALL THE CREDIT AND DIDN'T LIKE ME TELLING HER SO.
WELL, I WAS MORE INTERESTED IN THE SETTLEMENT YOU MADE.
YOU WALKED OFF WITH THE HARDWARE AND A RENT-CONTROLLED APARTMENT
WHICH MEANS YOUR OVERHEAD IS MINIMAL...
AS IS YOUR CLIENT LIST.
I COULD IMPROVE THAT...
IF YOU'RE AS GOOD AS YOU SAY YOU ARE.
BUT THAT...
IS THE ONLY WAY TO PROVE IT.
I COULD GO FOR SOMETHING...
OH, NO, PLEASE, PLEASE... DON'T EMBARRASS YOURSELF.
THAT'S MY FINAL OFFER.
NOW, OF COURSE, IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO THINK ABOUT IT.
I'LL GET THIS.
YOU'LL SEE IT ON MY FIRST EXPENSE REPORT.
I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.
No messages.
(beep)
(sobbing)
Man: WHAT IS THIS, A SONG CUE?
"YOU'RE NOBODY TILL SOMEBODY LOVES YOU"?
IT'S JUST... LIVING ALONE, YOU KNOW?
AND THE THOUGHT OF BUYING THOSE BOOKS
LIKE COOKING FOR ONE AND...
IT'S JUST TOO DEPRESSING.
THERE ARE WORSE THINGS THAN BEING ALONE, YOU KNOW?
IT'S A SIGN I SHOULD GO HOME.
YOU CAME HERE FOR A REASON.
SAM HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT.
NO GUY WOULD INTERFERE WITH MY ACTING CAREER...
ASSUMING I HAD A CAREER, OR A GUY TO INTERFERE WITH IT.
YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE AGAIN.
MAYBE I WILL... WHY NOT?
BUT THE POINT IS: IF I DON'T...
I DON'T.
I KNOW THAT.
I CAN DO IT ON MY OWN.
ABSOLUTELY.
I'LL JUST GET A ROOMMATE.
YOU COULD ALWAYS CALL HIM, ALLIE.
NOT IF I HAVE A ROOMMATE.
THE MANAGERS COULDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO LIVE THERE.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM:
IT'S RENT-STABILIZED, SO YOU COULDN'T COME ON THE LEASE.
NICE.
YOU CAN REALLY OPEN THEM UP.
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET IN HERE.
ARE YOU GOOD WITH TOOLS?
I'M AN INCEST SURVIVOR.
I HAVEN'T REMEMBERED THE INCIDENT YET
BUT I KNOW IT'S THERE.
I JUST HAVE THIS SENSE THAT I SURVIVED SOMETHING.
ALL MY THERAPISTS THINK SO.
OH, GOD, A KITCHEN: I HATE KITCHENS...
ANYTHING FEMININE.
IT'S PROBABLY MY MOTHER'S FAULT.
I THINK THIS COULD WORK.
IF YOU FEEL THE SAME, PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL.
(line rings)
Hello, Sam Rawson.
Hello?
(sobbing)
(knock)
EXCUSE ME.
HI.
THE FRONT DOOR WAS KIND OF OPEN.
ARE YOU ALLISON JONES?
YES... OH, ALLIE.
OH, I'M HEDRA CARLSON.
WE SPOKE ON THE PHONE THIS MORNING.
ARE YOU SURE YOU'RE OKAY?
UM...
YOU KNOW WHAT? I'M NOT.
WOULD IT BE ALL RIGHT
IF YOU, UM... CAME BACK TOMORROW?
WHY DON'T YOU JUST SIT DOWN.
I'M FINE...
LET ME MAKE YOU TEA.
I JUST DIDN'T HAVE LUNCH.
(pipes groan)
THE ONE IN THE BATHROOM WORKS.
HERE, LET ME.
I USE A WRENCH.
OH, WOW.
WOW.
I'M SO SORRY.
Hedra: IF YOU NEED A REFERENCE, YOU CAN CALL THEM AT RIZZOLI.
OH, THANKS.
THANK YOU.
"HEDRA," THAT'S UNUSUAL.
I GOT TERRIBLE NICKNAMES GROWING UP, WHICH I'M NOT TELLING YOU.
NOT "HEDY"... LIKE HEDY LAMARR?
I MEAN, THAT'S EXOTIC.
WELL, I WASN'T THAT EXOTIC IN GRADE SCHOOL...
AS OPPOSED TO NOW, RIGHT?
BUT...
THEY'RE DRY.
HERE.
THANKS.
OH...
UH, YOU CAN TOSS THAT... I WAS CLEANING UP.
HE'S THE REASON WHY I'M LOOKING
FOR A NEW ROOMMATE.
OH.
DO YOU THINK THERE'S A CHANCE YOU GUYS MIGHT PATCH THINGS UP?
BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO MOVE IN AND CATCH YOU ON THE REBOUND
AND THEN HAVE THINGS CHANGE.
IT WOULD JUST BE AWKWARD.
WELL, NOTHING'S GOING TO CHANGE IT...
EXCEPT FOR, MAYBE NOW MY FAUCETS WILL WORK.
WHEN CAN YOU MOVE IN?
NO, REALLY?
CONGRATULATIONS.
THANK YOU.
I'VE GOT ONE FRIEND, GRAHAM.
HE LIVES RIGHT ABOVE US.
A FRIEND?
NOT LIKE THAT: HE'S GAY.
SO, IT'S NOT A FRIENDLY BUILDING
AT LEAST THERE'S NEVER A PROBLEM WITH PRIVACY.
YOU JUST CLOSE YOUR DOOR.
YEAH.
IT'S NO PROBLEM.
I'LL LEAVE YOU ALONE, YOU KNOW.
I MEAN, WHATEVER'S GOOD FOR YOU.
I DON'T MIND.
WOW.
HEY, LOOK, ALLIE.
THIS COULD BE GOOD, HUH?
LAUNDRY ROOM.
I DON'T GO IN THERE AT NIGHT...
TOO CREEPY.
IT'S OKAY IN THE DAY
BUT STILL, LOCK YOURSELF IN.
THIS ONE?
NO, THAT'S THE MAIL KEY.
THIS IS CREEPY.
OH, IT'S NOT BAD.
IT'S JUST OLD.
SOMETIMES THIS GETS STUCK AND YOU HAVE TO USE THE SCREWDRIVER.
(gasps)
EXCUSE ME.
WHICH FLOOR?
ELEVEN.
FOURTEEN, PLEASE.
WILL IT FIT?
OKAY!
ALLIE, LOOK WHAT I FOUND.
I'M NOT SURE. HOLD ON, LET ME CHECK.
(whispers:) ALLIE, IT'S SAM.
WHERE'D YOU GUYS LEARN TO DRESS LIKE THAT?
I MEAN, IT'S JUST SO NEW YORK.
I THINK YOU LOOK VERY COMFORTABLE.
YEAH, I NEVER KNOW WHAT LOOKS GOOD.
AH, I THINK THAT LOOKS NICE.
YEAH?
BUT THIS LOOKS GREAT WITH THAT.
OKAY.
WHAT YOU THINK?
I THINK YOU SHOULD GET THEM.
YOU LIKE THEM?
THEY GO WITH THAT DRESS.
YOU TAKE THEM.
WELL...
I'LL JUST BORROW THEM WHEN I WANT TO.
GOD... I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE HOME.
I WAS, UM...
GOD, I'M SORRY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'VE ONLY BEEN HERE TWO WEEKS
AND I'M ALREADY IN YOUR ROOM.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO THROUGH YOUR DRAWERS.
IT SMELLS NICE ON YOU.
OH, I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND. ALWAYS WANTED TO TRY THAT.
OH, GOD, NO, ANYTHING OF MINE THAT YOU WANT, JUST GO AHEAD.
SHARE AND SHARE ALIKE.
I'VE NEVER BEEN TOO GOOD AT THAT. I'M AN ONLY CHILD.
DO YOU COME FROM A BIG FAMILY?
JUST ME.
UM...
I, UM...
WELL, I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TWIN, BUT...
SHE WAS STILLBORN.
THAT'S SO SAD.
I GREW UP FEELING A PART OF ME
WAS MISSING, YOU KNOW?
ALLIE...
GOD!
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THANK YOU.
WHAT DO I OWE YOU?
UM...
NOTHING, IT'S A HOUSEWARMING.
FORGET ABOUT IT.
OH, NO, NO.
SHHH.
THEY LOOK BEAUTIFUL ON YOU.
I CAN'T TAKE THESE.
IT'S A HOUSEWARMING.
THANKS, THEY'RE GREAT.
(phone rings)
EXCUSE ME.
OOPS.
(ring)
HELLO?
Sam: It's me... can you talk to me?
NO, SAM.
Why not? Come on, I...
NO, IT'S NOT A GOOD TIME.
Allie: I'M NOT READY TO SEE YOU.
YOU'RE JUST PROLONGING SOMETHING THAT'S OVER.
LOOK, THERE'S NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT ANYWAY.
Can I call you...
SOMEBODY'S HERE.
I'll call back.
ALL RIGHT?
Sure.
OKAY.
Bye.
BYE.
WHY DON'T WE ORDER SOME CHINESE?
(phone rings)
(click)
Hi, this is Allison Jones. Leave a message... thanks.
(beep)
Sam: Allie, are you there?
Pick up.
Please call me: this is torture.
I know you need me as much as I need you. I love you.
I'll do anything to put this back together. Just call me.
(tape rewinds)
(dog yips)
BUDDY.
OH, YES, WHAT A GOOD CLEAN BOY.
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO CHEER HER UP, HUH?
YOU'RE GOING TO CHEER HER UP SO SHE'LL LET YOU STAY?
(door opens)
SHH.
STAY.
YOO-HOO!
(beep)
No messages.
I KNOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE
BUT THEY WERE JUST GIVING THEM AWAY AT THE MARKET, AND...
(dog whimpers)
THEY SAID I COULD
BRING HIM BACK TOMORROW.
I HOPE THEY MEANT IT.
LOOK.
HIS NAME IS BUDDY.
WELL, I HAD A DOG NAMED BUDDY WHEN I WAS LITTLE, SO...
(Buddy whines)
TOMORROW, OKAY? I PROMISE.
(Buddy yipping and crying)
(Buddy yelping)
OH, COME ON, BUDDY.
OKAY, COME ON.
SHH.
YOU'RE WORKING SO HARD.
MYERSON BETTER REFER SOME CLIENTS.
HE WILL... YOU'RE THE BEST.
OH, GOD.
HEDY, THANKS.
I NEVER WOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT DONE WITHOUT YOU.
I LOVED HELPING.
"CRUNCH! CRUNCH! CRUNCH!"
WAIT. COME HERE.
FAMILY PORTRAIT.
YEAH, READY?
READY?
YEAH.
(growl)
BUDDY!
I lived a few weeks while you loved me.
Good-bye, David.
Graham: READY TO KILL HER YET?
WHO? HEDY?
MM-HMM.
IT'S FUN HAVING A GIRLFRIEND.
I CAN TELL. I WAS WORRIED, YOU WERE SO DOWN.
YOU WERE STARTING TO LOOK LIKE A KENNEDY WIFE.
YOU WERE GREAT, GRAHAM.
I'VE JUST HAD TO SPEND SOME TIME WITH HER.
SHE NEEDED A LOT OF HELP MOVING IN.
PLUS, I'VE BEEN WORKING LIKE CRAZY.
I'M NOT AVOIDING YOU.
I'VE GOT YOU CORNERED NOW.
ACTUALLY, I'VE BEEN MEANING TO COME SEE YOU.
IN FACT, I WAS ON MY WAY TO ASK YOU:
FEEL LIKE CAT-SITTING AGAIN? I'M GOING TO BOSTON.
FUN. I'LL WATCH CARMEN.
GREAT!
YOU KNOW WHICH IS WHICH, RIGHT?
AND IGNORE THE LITTER BOX... I DO.
THAT'S SO CRUEL. WE'LL BE FINE.
I THINK I SAW HER... YOUR ROOMMATE.
YOU WERE LEAVING THE BUILDING...
YOUR BACKPACK, THIS JACKET.
WHEN I CAUGHT YOU, YOU WERE SOMEONE ELSE...
SOMEONE VERY NERVOUS.
IT WAS HEDY.
I'VE FREAKED HER OUT
ABOUT PEOPLE KNOWING SHE'S LIVING IN THE BUILDING.
I WOULD HAVE HAD YOU MEET HER, BUT SHE'S SHY.
WELL.
FRIDAY.
THAT'LL BE GREAT.
I'LL MAKE YOU DINNER WHEN I GET BACK.
YOU'RE NOT AT WORK.
NO.
WE HAVE THE SAME BELT?
WHAT? OH, SORRY.
I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
LOOK: COOKIES FOR DOGS.
OH, GREAT.
I HAD TO...
CAN WE TALK?
JUST FOR A SECOND.
WOOF!
I TRIED TO LET YOU KNOW.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HEDY?
DON'T BLAME HEDY, IT'S NOT HER FAULT, OKAY?
I KIND OF FORCED MY WAY IN HERE.
I HAD TO SEE YOU.
LISTEN I'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW...
UNLESS YOU NEED ME?
OKAY.
(door closes)
WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?
YOU'VE GOT TO TALK TO ME.
YOU JUST CAN'T PRETEND I DON'T EXIST.
IT'S EASIER, OKAY?
IS THAT WRONG, TO MAKE IT EASIER?
PEOPLE SCREW UP.
PEOPLE DO WRONG, AND IT WAS WRONG.
I ADMIT IT. YOU CUT THEM OFF.
YOU DON'T TAKE MY CALLS, OR ANSWER MY LETTER.
YOU LIED TO ME.
IF SHE HADN'T CALLED, WOULD I HAVE FOUND OUT?
I THINK THAT'S SCARY, OKAY?
PLEASE, SAM...
IF YOU WANT TO BE NICE, JUST STAY AWAY.
OKAY.
I KNOW SOME THINGS CAN'T BE FIXED.
I WAS HOPING THIS WASN'T ONE.
I GUESS IT IS.
I DIDN'T GET ANY LETTER
SO I WASN'T PUNISHING YOU BY NOT ANSWERING IT.
I DIDN'T GET IT.
I SENT IT WITH THE KEYS.
WELL, I DIDN'T GET THOSE EITHER.
WHAT DID IT SAY?
(sighs)
FORGET THE LETTER.
I LOVE YOU. I CAN'T EXIST WITHOUT YOU.
I HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR WHAT I DID.
ALLIE, YOU HAVE TO GIVE ME A SECOND CHANCE. I...
YOU REALLY HURT ME, SAM.
SHHH.
(door closes)
EXCUSE ME, CAN YOU TELL ME
WHERE THE BIOGRAPHY SECTION IS?
TOWARDS THE FRONT AGAINST THE WALL.
Hi, this is Allison Jones. Please leave a message. Thank you.
(beep)
HI, ALLIE, IT'S ME.
UM... I'M JUST CALLING TO SEE IF YOU'RE OKAY.
Uh... call me at work, okay? My number's on the fridge.
Okay, bye.
SAY, NEXT MONTH... IS THAT ENOUGH TIME?
I DON'T KNOW, SHE'S JUST SETTLED IN.
HEDY'S BEEN WONDERFUL, SHE'LL UNDERSTAND.
EVENING, MR. RAWSON.
I have an idea I must be in love with you.
Has it hit you that way?
(Buddy growling)
HEY...
THAT'S NOT FOR YOU.
Would you like it to go on for always?
Well, does anything go on for always?
Well, one likes to think some things do.
(humming quietly)
WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?
GOD.
HEDY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM?
I'VE BEEN WAITING SINCE 6:00 LAST NIGHT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
I'VE BEEN WORRIED SICK.
BUDDY WAS CRYING ALL NIGHT. I FINALLY HAD TO COME IN HERE
SO HE'D CALM DOWN.
I'M SORRY, I GUESS I JUST DIDN'T THINK.
NO, YOU DIDN'T.
AND THERE'S SUCH A THING AS A PHONE.
THIS IS NEW YORK. THINGS HAPPEN.
OKAY, OKAY. I'M SORRY, IT WAS...
THOUGHTLESS, REALLY.
YOU'RE MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I'M 16 YEARS OLD HERE.
HEY...
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH.
YEAH, I JUST, UH...
FORGET IT.
SO, UM, I GUESS YOU PATCHED THINGS UP WITH SAM, HUH?
YEAH. WELL, I MADE HIM SUFFER.
IS THAT AN ENGAGEMENT RING?
WHY?
(sighs)
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL RING.
THANKS.
REALLY GREAT.
I'M SURE YOU'LL BE VERY HAPPY.
YOU'LL BE VERY HAPPY AND I'LL BE ALONE.
NO, NO, WAIT A MINUTE... YOU'LL FIND SOMEONE, HEDY.
I MEAN, GOD, IF I CAN...
WHY DON'T YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR, HUH?
LOOK.
YOU'RE IN A DIFFERENT LEAGUE.
I KNOW THAT.
YOU HAVE THIS GREAT PERSONALITY
YOU'VE GOT THIS GREAT STYLE
YOU RUN YOUR OWN BUSINESS...
YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO FIND SOMEONE.
YOU HAVE TO BE STUPID TO THINK THAT YOU WOULDN'T.
OH...
WELL, I GUESS YOU AND SAM
WANT TO BE TOGETHER, SO...
I HAVE TO MOVE OUT, RIGHT, HUH?
WELL, NOT RIGHT AWAY.
SAM'S GOING TO KEEP HIS PLACE FOR A WHILE
AND I KNOW YOU JUST SPENT A LOT ON FURNITURE.
YEAH, YOUR TIMING IS GREAT, ALLIE IT'S REALLY GREAT.
YOU PROMISED ME THAT THIS WOULDN'T HAPPEN.
NOTHING'S HAPPENED, HEDY, COME ON.
I MEAN, LOOK, I'LL TALK TO SAM.
WE'LL... WE'LL... MAYBE WE'LL MOVE, I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE WE'LL FIND SOMEPLACE LIKE THIS OR...
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT WE'LL SEE, WE'LL FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
OKAY?
THEY TELL ME THEY'RE NERVOUS.
Allie: OF COURSE. THEY'RE SALESMEN, THEY WANT TO BE SOLD.
LET'S SET UP A DEMO AT THE WEEKLY STAFF MEETING.
SOMETHING SPECIAL, SOMETHING DIFFERENT. MAYBE AT NIGHT.
YOU KNOW... OPEN BAR, OPEN MINDS.
I'LL SET IT UP, I'LL SET IT UP.
MAYBE I'LL CALL YOU TONIGHT.
GREAT.
8796 KNOX?
KNOX? WHAT'S THIS KNOX?
OH, NO, THAT'S GRAHAM KNOX.
HE'S MY UPSTAIRS NEIGHBOR.
THAT WAS JUST FOR LAST NIGHT.
I'VE GOT TO ADMIT I'M VERY IMPRESSED.
WELL, MAYBE YOU'LL START SPREADING THE WORD.
YOU KNOW, I COULD SEE I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE
TO AFFORD YOU ANYMORE.
GREAT, JUST PRESS "ENTER". THAT'S IT.
(muffled voices)
(Hedy laughing)
WELL, YOU'D KNOW MORE ABOUT THAT THAN I WOULD.
OH, HI.
ALLIE, DO YOU WANT A SIP?
OH. WELL, I GUESS I'LL TURN IN.
GOOD NIGHT, ALLIE.
NIGHT, SAM.
(moaning and heavy breathing)
(Buddy yips)
(Buddy whimpering)
(door squeaks shut)
Hedy: THEY'RE READY!
ALL RIGHT, JUST A MINUTE!
THEY'LL GET COLD.
ALL RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
(muffled voices)
WELL, IT'S A THOROUGHLY UNINTERESTING CONCEPT. HEY.
HI.
ARE WE GOING?
SCRAMBLED OR FRIED?
THIS IS FINE.
ALLIE, SWEETHEART, THIS ISN'T ALL THAT URGENT.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO
THIS APARTMENT THING TODAY, IT CAN WAIT UNTIL I GET BACK.
WHY DON'T WE GET AWAY TOGETHER...
DRIVE TO BUCKS COUNTY.
BUDDY. COME HERE, BOY.
THREE'S A CROWD, SWEETIE.
IT'S ALL RIGHT, HEDY, HE'S FINE.
THE POOR GUY DOESN'T KNOW WHO'S WHO ANYMORE.
LET'S TAKE A DAY OFF.
WE'LL GET IN THE CAR...
NO, THAT'S OKAY, I'M FINE.
I JUST DIDN'T GET VERY GOOD SLEEP, THAT'S ALL.
NIGHTMARES.
YOU GUYS GOT A GOOD DAY FOR IT.
IF IT DOESN'T GET TOO HOT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT.
YOU DO ENOUGH ALREADY.
OH, I DON'T MIND.
IT'S CLEAN WHEN YOU CAN'T TELL I'M HERE.
OH...
HEY, IF THE EGGS WERE OKAY
MAYBE YOU GUYS WOULD TRUST ME WITH DINNER.
DO YOU GUYS KNOW WHEN YOU'LL BE BACK?
IT'S KIND OF AN ANNIVERSARY
SO I THINK WE'RE GOING TO EAT OUT.
REALLY? WOW. THAT'S GREAT.
UM... WELL, GOOD LUCK.
THANKS.
BYE.
(Buddy whimpers)
BUDDY. COME HERE.
COME HERE, SWEETIE.
(Buddy whimpering)
I KNOW.
BUDDY, COME. COME!
FINE.
BUT THIS IS HALF THE SIZE
FOR TWICE THE PRICE.
YOU'RE FAR TOO NICE TO HEDY.
IT'S EASIER THIS WAY, BELIEVE ME.
AND THIS COULD BE NICE.
CAN YOU IMAGINE GOING
FROM THE VICTORIA TO THIS?
DO YOU THINK WE CAN SMOKE HER OUT?
I JUST CAN'T DO IT TO HER. I THINK I'M HER ONLY FRIEND.
(woman screams)
MY GOD, WHAT HAPPENED?!
Man: FROM ONE OF THOSE BALCONIES UP THERE.
HEDY!
HE'S DEAD!
BUDDY'S DEAD!
WHAT?
YOU LEFT THE WINDOW OPEN! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!
BUT I THOUGHT WE COULD LEAVE IT OPEN.
I THOUGHT YOU FIXED IT THIS MORNING.
I THOUGHT I DID.
IT'S ME.
I INTERRUPTED YOU WHEN I CALLED YOU IN FOR BREAKFAST.
ALLIE, IT'S MY FAULT.
ALLIE.
ALLIE?
(squeezing squeaky toy)
THANKS, THAT PILL HELPED.
ARE YOU STILL GOING ON THAT TRIP TOMORROW?
WELL...
YOU KNOW, SHE WANTS ME TO.
IF I HAD JUST LET YOU FINISH YOUR WORK THIS MORNING...
(crying)
LISTEN, IF SHE BLAMES ANYBODY
SHE BLAMES ME, OKAY?
SHH...
(sobbing)
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, SHH.
(sobbing)
(phone rings)
HELLO?
HI, MITCH.
WHAT?
OH, GOD... OH, NO, I'M...
NO, I'M JUST...
I'M JUST RUNNING A LITTLE LATE, I DIDN'T FORGET. NO, NO, I...
JUST... HOLD THEM UNTIL 5:00, OKAY? THANKS.
Mitch: YOU WERE TERRIFIC.
BUT YOU KNOW THAT.
THANK YOU.
AND HERE I THOUGHT ALL THE GUYS WOULD RESIST YOU.
AS IF ANYONE EVER COULD.
OH, NO, THANK YOU, I GOT TO GO.
I'M JUST CLEANING UP.
HOLD IT, HOLD IT, NOT SO FAST.
NOW EVERYBODY UNDER ME KNOWS MORE THAN I DO.
I HATE THAT.
WELL, BLOCK OFF SOME TIME FOR ME NEXT WEEK, THEN.
IT'S JUST IT'S A LITTLE LATE TONIGHT.
OH, PLEASE, PLEASE. JUST A TASTE.
SOMETHING SIMPLE. RIGHT NOW.
OKAY.
SOMETHING SIMPLE.
ALL RIGHT.
NOW, THIS IS JUST THE MICKEY MOUSE STUFF
BUT IT DOES COME IN HANDY.
Mitch: UH-HUH.
OKAY, ENTER THE VENDOR'S NAME.
OH, VENDOR.
J-O-N-E-S...
AL-LI-SON.
VERY GOOD.
SEE... CONTRACT PRICE, PAYMENTS TO DATE, BALANCE OUTSTANDING.
UH-OH, ACCORDING TO THIS
WE SHOULD HAVE PAID YOU LAST FRIDAY.
THAT'S ALL RIGHT, BARBARA WILL HANDLE IT.
NOT TILL I GIVE HER THE WORD.
WELL, I HOPE YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH WHAT I'VE DONE.
SO FAR.
BUT THIS IS IT. I MEAN, THERE AIN'T MUCH MORE.
EXCEPT FOR MAYBE A LITTLE FINE TUNING, THAT'S IT.
I'LL HAVE SOME FREE TIME NOW
IF YOU WANT TO SET UP SOME MEETINGS WITH YOUR COLLEAGUES.
I WAS THINKING MAYBE I WANT TO KEEP YOU ALL TO MYSELF.
TOPPER?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
IT'S JUST THAT YOU'RE SO TIGHT.
MITCH, PLEASE, DON'T. THAT'S ENOUGH.
MITCH.
NOW, LOOK.
COME ON.
I'VE BEEN A GOOD BOY, HAVEN'T I?
YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD GIRL
AND WE HAVE NOTHING TO PROVE ANYMORE.
THIS IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO PLAY
BEFORE YOU'RE AN OLD MARRIED LADY.
LET ME TURN AROUND, OKAY?
THAT'S BETTER.
JUST A SECOND. JUST A SEC.
(crying in agony)
HERE, TAKE THIS.
I CAN'T BELIEVE I DIDN'T SEE IT COMING.
IT WAS JUST SO HUMILIATING.
YOU'RE TOO NICE, THAT'S THE PROBLEM.
MEN ARE PIGS. I DON'T CARE HOW NICE THEY SEEM.
YOU ALWAYS FALL FOR THAT.
BUT WHAT I DID...
IT WAS LIKE SOMETHING INSIDE TAKING OVER.
IT WAS SCARY.
NO, ALLIE, DON'T TURN THIS AROUND.
YOU'RE THE VICTIM. HE SHOULD PAY FOR THIS.
HE'LL PAY... I SET UP ALL MY PROGRAMS
SO THEY HAVE TO EVENTUALLY.
WHAT? I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT GETTING PAID.
I'M TALKING ABOUT GETTING EVEN.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
IT'S THE CONTACTS MORE THAN THE MONEY.
I MEAN, I JUST TOOK THE JOB FOR THE WORD OF MOUTH
AND NOW THAT'S GONE.
IT'S LIKE HE'S PUT ME BACK TO SQUARE ONE.
ONLY IF YOU LET HIM.
YOU WON'T LET HIM, WILL YOU?
WHAT CAN I DO?
OH, ALLIE...
ALLIE...
AND OF COURSE SAM'S AWAY.
HEDY.
I DIDN'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING.
HOW HE COULD GO ON THAT TRIP THE DAY AFTER BUDDY DIED...
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT WAS HIS FAULT.
HELLO, MAY I SPEAK WITH YOUR HUSBAND PLEASE?
WHO ARE YOU CALLING?
YES, I KNOW IT'S LATE.
IT'S ALLISON JONES, HE'LL TAKE THE CALL.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
LISTEN, YOU PATHETIC SLOB.
YOU WANT TO HOLD ON TO YOUR BUSINESS?
NO, YOU LISTEN TO ME THIS TIME, IDIOT.
IF YOU TRASH ME AROUND TOWN, YOU'RE SCREWED.
AND YOUR FAMILY IS TOO, YOU GOT THAT? IT WON'T JUST BE YOU.
TA-DAH.
(laughing)
LET ME TELL YOU
HE IS PISSING IN HIS PJ'S RIGHT NOW.
GEE, HEDY, I HOPE YOU NEVER GET MAD AT ME.
Allie: HEDY, WE HAVE TO TALK.
Hedy: ALLIE, PLEASE. I HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU.
HEDY.
OH, HEDY, I'M REALLY NOT UP FOR THIS TODAY.
WHAT? NO, NO, NO. IT'S GOING TO BE FUN.
IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER. I PROMISE, OKAY?
AND I'M PAYING, SO...
OH, HEDY.
IT WILL BE FINE.
COME ON.
THANK YOU.
(softly:) YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
Allie: YOU SHOULD HAVE ASKED FIRST.
I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.
CONSULTING MARKETPLACE, PLEASE.
THIS FEELS SO GOOD ON MY NECK.
I DIDN'T THINK YOU'D MIND.
HERE... THANKS.
Hedy: I'M GOING TO TAKE A SHOWER.
ELLEN BESCH?
SAM.
(humming)
(door opening)
WANT ME TO FIX YOU SOMETHING BEFORE I GO?
UH... NO, THANKS.
I'M JUST GOING TO GO UP AND VISIT GRAHAM.
OKAY. I LOVE MYSELF LIKE THIS.
HAVE FUN.
YEAH.
(humming)
I LOVE MYSELF LIKE THIS.
(rings doorbell)
TAXI!
HEY!
TAXI!
Allie: DON'T LOSE HER.
IT'S IMPORTANT. SHE HAS SOMETHING OF MINE.
(men singing Gregorian chant with disco drumbeat)
(woman moaning)
DO YOU WANT TO PLAY?
NO, THANKS.
COME ON, JIM.
Bartender: ALLIE... REGULAR OR DIET?
DIET.
SOMETHING'S DIFFERENT.
YES.
Hedy: JIM, YOU LOOK LIKE MY SISTER'S BOYFRIEND.
JESUS, ALLIE, WHAT IS IT?
HELP ME, GRAHAM, TELL ME WHAT TO DO.
ALLIE?
I'M HOME.
ALLIE?
ALLIE!
(clattering)
DAMN IT.
(faint voice)
Allie: AND SHE LIES.
I FOUND A SHOE BOX IN HER ROOM.
NOTHING SHE TOLD ME IS TRUE.
HER TWIN, WHO SHE SAID DIED AT BIRTH...
IT WAS IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN SHE WAS NINE.
AND SHE STOLE A LETTER THAT SAM WROTE ME.
I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING.
GET RID OF HER.
Graham: CALL THE POLICE IF YOU HAVE TO.
SHE'S LYING AND STEALING. YOU'VE GOT TO GET HER OUT OF HERE.
YOU'RE RIGHT. I'LL TELL HER TONIGHT.
I CAN'T JUST THROW HER OUT ON THE STREET.
SHE OBVIOUSLY NEEDS HELP.
SHE'S A LUNATIC, ALLIE.
SHE'S GOT TO GO; DO IT TONIGHT.
Allie: IT'S JUST THAT I FEEL RESPONSIBLE SOMEHOW.
I'M THE ONLY ONE SHE HAS, EXCEPT FOR MAYBE HER PARENTS.
ALLIE, EITHER SHE'S GONE BY SATURDAY
OR I GO TO THE POLICE, OKAY?
THAT WAS VERY IMPRESSIVE.
I CAN BE BUTCH WHEN I HAVE TO; I GET IT FROM MY MOTHER.
LOOK, I'VE GOT A FRIEND WHO'S A SHRINK.
MAYBE HE CAN HELP HER.
WELL, MAYBE AFTER I TALK TO HER, SHE'LL JUST LEAVE.
DO YOU WANT TO SLEEP HERE TONIGHT?
DON'T TEMPT ME. NO, I JUST NEEDED TO TALK IT OUT.
THANKS.
Allie: SHE'S NOT GOING TO CHASE ME OUT.
WHEN IS SAM COMING BACK?
TOMORROW.
THAT'S GOOD.
YEAH.
OH, THIS IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING, BUT...
SINCE WE'RE LETTING OUR HAIR DOWN...
THESE OLD AIR VENTS BETWEEN OUR APARTMENTS CARRY SOUND.
IT'S A WEIRD ACOUSTIC THING.
WELL, WHAT DO YOU HEAR?
OH, NO.
(laughing)
OH, GOD, I'M SO EMBARRASSED.
BIG DEAL. I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MENTION IT SOONER.
I'M SO SORRY.
YOU SURE YOU WANT TO GO DOWN THERE?
YEAH. SHE'S MY PROBLEM, I'LL HANDLE IT.
THANK YOU FOR THE TEA.
TALK TO YOU TOMORROW.
OKAY.
HEDY?
Graham: JESUS, IT'S A LOT MORE SERIOUS THAN I THOUGHT.
I KNOW YOU CAN'T DIAGNOSE OVER THE PHONE.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT "HYPER-VIGILANT" IS.
PHIL, I NEVER MET THE WOMAN.
SHE COULD BE INFANTILE OR PARANOID OR WHATEVER.
LET ME GO DOWNSTAIRS.
IF I CALL YOU FROM THERE, WILL YOU TALK TO MY FRIEND?
(rustling)
RIGHT, OKAY.
THANKS... SO, ALL RIGHT. YOU MIGHT HEAR FROM US.
LOVE TO JACK, AND YOU'RE NOT CHARGING ME FOR THIS.
CARMEN...
PSS-PSS-PSS-PSS...
ALLIE.
GOOD NIGHT.
HEDY?
I'M SORRY.
WAIT, HEDY.
IT'S OKAY, TAKE IT EASY.
WE JUST WANT TO GET YOU SOME HELP.
NO, PLEASE! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG.
OKAY, TAKE IT EASY.
I'M SORRY, I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
NO PROBLEM.
(answering machine beeps)
HELLO, MR. BESCH. YOU DON'T KNOW ME.
MY NAME IS ALLISON JONES.
I THINK MY ROOMMATE HEDRA IS YOUR DAUGHTER, ELLEN.
I'M NOT SURE, REALLY.
SHE'S... SHE'S BEEN UNDER A LOT OF STRESS LATELY
AND, WELL...
GOD, I REALLY WOULD RATHER NOT GET INTO THIS
ON AN ANSWERING MACHINE.
COULD YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A CALL, OR HER?
I'M SURE YOU HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER.
IT'S 212-555-9814.
I'D REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND DON'T SAY I CALLED.
OH, THANK YOU.
HEDY.
(humming quietly)
(knock at door)
HEDY?
WHAT?
(knocking)
HEDY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
(softly:) I CAN'T HEAR YOU.
IT'S JUST THAT I WAS STARTING TO WORRY.
YOU'VE BEEN IN THERE SO LONG.
I'M MAKING SOME TEA. YOU WANT SOME TEA? CHAMOMILE.
YEAH. THAT WOULD BE GREAT.
OH, I'M NOT FEELING REALLY WELL.
MINE ALWAYS COMES WHEN I'M WEARING SOMETHING NICE.
ARE YOU CRAMPY? SOMETIMES TEA HELPS, SOMETHING WARM.
WE COULD TALK.
ABOUT WHAT?
ABOUT SAM AND I WANTING THIS PLACE FOR OURSELVES.
IT'S JUST CRAZY KEEPING TWO PLACES LIKE THIS.
WELL, UH...
WELL, UH,
I THOUGHT YOU WANTED A LONG ENGAGEMENT
SO YOU COULD MAKE SURE YOU COULD TRUST HIM AGAIN.
WELL, FRANKLY, HEDY, THAT'S MY BUSINESS.
I'M SORRY, BUT IT IS.
(cracks knuckles)
UH-HUH.
IT'S, UH... IT'S ME, ISN'T IT.
I'LL CHANGE, ALLIE. I CAN CHANGE.
NO, THAT'S NOT IT AT ALL. YOU'VE BEEN A GOOD ROOMMATE.
BUT IT'S JUST THAT THIS IS THE MAN I'M GOING TO MARRY.
I WANT US TO START OUR LIVES TOGETHER.
WELL, HE WILL CHEAT ON YOU AGAIN.
THAT'S A PROMISE.
AND WHEN HE DOES, DON'T COME RUNNING TO ME, OKAY
BECAUSE I'VE HAD IT WITH YOU. YOU'RE SO WEAK.
I'M SORRY.
I'M SO SORRY.
(phone ringing)
ALLIE.
HELLO.
IS IT SAM?
Man: Ellen, is that you?
Talk to me, or your mother. Honey, we miss you.
Come home.
DON'T CALL HERE AGAIN.
Ellen, listen, we'll stop sending the checks
if you don't come.
I promise, no doctors this time. Just come.
AN OBSCENE PHONE CALL. NEW YORK.
(phone rings)
FIND SOMEONE ELSE, JERK!
I'M EXPECTING A CALL FROM SAM.
JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE, OKAY?
SAM WILL CALL BACK IF IT'S BUSY.
I'M SORRY, ALLIE. IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
I'LL FIND SOME OTHER PLACE. YOU KNOW, I JUST...
I DON'T WANT YOU MAKING A MISTAKE.
I UNDERSTAND.
HEY, WE'LL STILL BE FRIENDS.
KEEP IN TOUCH.
SURE.
(phone buzzing, off hook)
(humming quietly)
(thunder)
(phone rings)
HELLO?
Sam: Allie.
NO, IT'S HEDY.
Hi, where are you?
I JUST CAME IN FROM THE AIRPORT. IS SHE ASLEEP?
Uh, yeah.
IT'S AFTER 2:00.
DO YOU WANT ME TO WAKE HER?
No, tell her to surprise me.
Okay.
OKAY?
I'll tell her.
GOOD NIGHT, HEDY.
GOOD NIGHT, SAM. SLEEP WELL.
WHAT, WHAT, WHAT, WHAT?
HEY, ALLIE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
OH.
HEY, SLEEPY GUY.
I KNEW IT.
KNEW WHAT?
I TOLD HER.
GUYS LIKE YOU DON'T CHANGE.
YOU CAN'T BE FAITHFUL.
AND NOW SHE'LL KNOW, HMM?
SHE'LL KNOW WHAT?
THAT YOU CAME UP HERE AND PRETENDED TO BE HER?
MY GOD, WHAT IS THIS HAIR?
WHAT IS THIS SUPPOSED TO MEAN?
YOU'RE IN HER CLOTHES.
YOU'RE WEARING HER PERFUME, FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!
YOU KNEW IT WAS ME.
COME ON. YOU KNEW...
AND YOU DIDN'T CARE.
WELL, I THINK SHE SHOULD KNOW THAT.
YOU THINK SHE'S GOING TO THANK YOU FOR THAT NEWS?
WELL, I DON'T EXPECT YOU
TO UNDERSTAND OUR FRIENDSHIP.
SHE CANNOT STAND YOU FOR CHRIST'S SAKE!
THAT'S NOT TRUE.
OH, COME ON!
UH-UH.
YOU'RE TOO NEEDY, YOU'RE ALWAYS CLINGY...
YOU'RE CONSTANTLY IN HER FACE!
SHE NEEDS ME.
WHO WAS THERE FOR HER WHEN HER BOSS ALMOST RAPED HER?
WHAT?
WHO TOOK CARE OF HER?
YOU WERE OFF ON A BUSINESS TRIP, OR SCREWING SOMEONE.
SHE NEVER SAID A WORD TO ME.
THAT'S RIGHT. SHE TOLD ME.
SO, DON'T TRY AND MAKE ME THINK THAT WE'RE NOT CLOSE.
WE LEAN ON EACH OTHER, AND WE... WE PROTECT EACH OTHER.
WE'RE... WE'RE BEST FRIENDS.
YOU'RE NUTS, YOU KNOW THAT?
YEAH, I THINK YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR SKULL.
THAT'S WHAT I THINK.
YEAH, WELL, STICKS AND STONES, OKAY?
OH, MAN, MAN.
SAM.
DON'T TOUCH ME!
I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU WANT TO SAVE FACE.
I WON'T TELL HER, OKAY?
JUST PICK UP THE PHONE AND CALL HER AND TELL HER
THAT YOU'RE GOING BACK TO YOUR EX-WIFE OR SOMETHING
AND I WON'T SAY A WORD, OKAY?
WELL, YOU WON'T HAVE TO SAY A WORD, SWEETHEART. I'LL TELL HER.
NO!
WHORE!
HEY.
Clerk: I'M SORRY, SIR
BUT THE PARTY DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE CHECKED IN YET.
NO, SIR... WHY DON'T YOU TRY AGAIN LATER?
THAT'LL BE FINE. GOOD NIGHT, MISS JONES.
GOOD NIGHT.
(low noise)
(noise resumes)
HEDY?
(scrubbing)
HEDY?
OH, HI.
GOD, I HOPE I DIDN'T WAKE YOU. I GOT AN EARLY START.
HEDY, I DIDN'T MEAN FOR YOU TO MOVE OUT TODAY.
UM, THERE... I THINK THAT'S IT.
I HOPE YOU DON'T MIND.
I'M STORING SOME OF MY STUFF IN THE CAGE DOWNSTAIRS.
THAT WAY I WON'T HAVE TO BOTHER YOU TWO WHEN I MOVE.
SURE, THAT'S FINE.
UH, LOOK, I'M REALLY SORRY IT DIDN'T WORK OUT.
I'M GOING TO GET THIS STUFF OUT OF HERE.
I'LL HELP.
WE CAN HAVE BREAKFAST WHEN YOU GET BACK.
TV announcer: And now, morning news break.
We go to midtown Manhattan...
(blender whirring)
Reporter: Police found the body of a man
brutally murdered early this morning.
Identification of the victim...
A white male around 30 years of age...
Is pending notification of next of kin.
A witness I spoke to described hearing a struggle
in room 612 around 4:00 this morning.
Man: Atherton Hotel.
UM, SAM RAWSON'S ROOM, PLEASE... ROOM 612.
I'm sorry, there's been an accident.
I think you should speak to the police.
ALLIE?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING DOWN THERE?
OH...
I... I JUST SUDDENLY FELT SICK.
IT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING.
I HOPE I'M NOT PREGNANT.
HERE, LET ME HELP YOU.
OH, I'M FINE.
LET ME GET SOME WATER.
HEY...
DRINK SOME.
OKAY? FEELING BETTER?
YEAH, I GOT TO GO OUT FOR A WHILE.
I'M FEELING MUCH BETTER NOW.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID BREAKFAST.
IT'S IN THE BLENDER. I'VE GOT TO GO.
DRESSED LIKE THAT?
WELL...
I'M JUST GOING TO GO UPSTAIRS AND SEE GRAHAM.
HE CALLED WHILE YOU WERE OUT.
WELL, STILL, UM... IF YOU'RE NOT FEELING WELL
YOU SHOULD WEAR MORE THAN THAT.
MAYBE YOU'RE RIGHT.
UM...
LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN SO WE CAN TALK.
YOU KNOW WHY I THINK YOU'RE SICK?
YOU'RE UPSET ABOUT SAM.
YOU KNOW SAM'S DEAD, DON'T YOU?
YEAH, WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME.
YOU... YOU DIDN'T DO IT, HEDY, DID YOU?
(Allie sobbing)
YOU COULDN'T HAVE!
OH, WHY? WHY?
WE FOOLED AROUND
AND THEN HE TRIED TO BEAT THE HELL OUT OF ME
BECAUSE I WANTED TO TELL YOU.
(sobbing)
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
(sighs)
BUT... HE DESERVED IT.
OKAY. COME ON.
THE POLICE WILL BE HERE SOON.
BUT...
BUT YOU SHOULDN'T RUN.
IT'LL ONLY MAKE IT WORSE.
I KNOW YOU WEREN'T YOURSELF.
I KNOW. I WAS YOU.
WHO IS THIS HEDY, ANYWAY?
NO ONE'S SEEN HER.
SHE'S NOT ON THE LEASE.
THERE'S NOT EVEN A FINGERPRINT OF HERS HERE.
I'VE BEEN CLEANING LIKE CRAZY.
YOU HAVE TO COME WITH ME, ALLIE, OR THEY'LL PUT YOU AWAY.
HEDY, IT'LL NEVER WORK!
BESIDES...
PEOPLE HAVE SEEN YOU.
OH, JUST CALM DOWN.
WE'LL CALL A LAWYER OR A DOCTOR I KNOW
WHO'LL EXPLAIN IT TO THE POLICE OR SOMETHING.
NO.
WHY ARE YOU MAKING ME DO THIS?
WE'RE FRIENDS, ALLIE
AND YOU COULD BE IN A LOT OF TROUBLE WITHOUT ME.
BUT I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE YOU.
THAT WOULDN'T BE RIGHT. I WON'T LEAVE YOU.
OKAY, LET'S GO.
(sobbing)
COME ON... UP.
(slaps her face)
UP, UP!
LET'S GO... GO, GO, GO; COME ON!
OKAY.
COME ON.
NO, NO, NO, UP TO GRAHAM'S.
NO, LET'S NOT INVOLVE GRAHAM.
LET'S JUST LEAVE.
HE'S ALREADY INVOLVED.
(rings doorbell)
NOBODY'S HOME.
USE THESE... COME ON.
GO ON, HURRY UP, GO!
HE MUST BE SLEEPING.
WE WERE UP LATE LAST NIGHT.
GRAHAM?
HE CAN'T HEAR YOU.
WAIT TILL YOU SEE ME.
YOUR COLOR WAS BEAUTIFUL
BUT I CAN'T GO AROUND LOOKING LIKE YOU ANYMORE, CAN I?
OKAY NOW, ALLIE, DON'T LAUGH.
TA-DAH.
OKAY.
These magnificent creatures....
HOW'S THAT? GOOD?
23 AND 24 ARE THE MOVIE CHANNELS.
I'VE GOT TO CASH A PAYCHECK, SO I'LL ONLY BE GONE AN HOUR.
I KNOW HOW YOU HATE TO BE ALONE.
OKAY, ARE YOU GOOD? ARE YOU COMFORTABLE?
ALL RIGHT.
SO, UM... WHEN I GET BACK, WE'LL DO YOUR HAIR, TOO.
OKAY? BE GOOD. BYE.
(door closes)
(rock music growing louder)
(music echoing in hallway)
Teller: WHAT'S THE PART THIS TIME?
EXCUSE ME?
YOU'RE AN ACTRESS, RIGHT?
YOU'RE NEVER THE SAME PERSON TWICE.
OH.
I LIKE IT.
I JUST THOUGHT THE OTHER WAS MORE YOU.
WELL, MAYBE NEXT TIME I'LL TRY BLOND.
REALLY? I'M FLATTERED.
MS. BESCH?
YES?
GUY'S BEEN CALLING; SAYS HE'S YOUR FATHER.
MIGHT HAVE TO COME TO NEW YORK IF YOU DON'T CALL HIM.
MS. BESCH!
(music blaring)
(ringing doorbell)
HEY!
(muffled scream)
(persistent ringing)
OW!
JERK!
(music still blaring)
HEY!
YOU LIVE HERE?
UM, NO, I'M JUST WATCHING THE PLACE FOR THE WEEKEND
AND IT'S ON A TIMER. I WAS OUT; I'M SORRY.
I HAVE TO REGISTER A COMPLAINT.
OH, PLEASE... I'LL TURN IT OFF RIGHT AWAY.
HOW COULD YOU DO THAT?!
EVERYTHING I'VE DONE, I'VE DONE FOR YOU.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?
THE PEOPLE YOU HATED, I HATED.
PEOPLE LIKE YOU DON'T CARE.
JUST LIKE THAT STUPID GIRL IN TAMPA.
SHE CALLED MY PARENTS, TOO. TOLD THEM ALL MY SECRETS.
YOU WANT TO PUT ME AWAY, HUH?
I CAN'T...
I CAN'T KEEP MAKING EXCUSES FOR YOU, ALLIE.
I CAN'T.
I CAN'T, I CAN'T, I CAN'T.
I CAN'T... OH, GOD. OH, GOD, OH...
(gasping)
(Hedy screaming, furniture crashing)
(muffled voice)
WHAT?
WHAT?!
PLEASE.
NO.
DON'T MAKE ME LEAVE YOU, ELLEN.
(knife drops)
(iron bar drops)
SHH.
IT'S OKAY.
Allie: WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW.
(computer beeping)
JESUS! MITCH!
WHAT?
GET IN HERE!
WHAT?
WHAT IS IT? WHAT?
LOOK.
IT'S ERASING.
(beeping continues)
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
NO.
HEY!
(computer beeping)
ON MINE, TOO!
"THE LAST PAYMENT IN FULFILLMENT OF THE CONTRACT

"PLEASE CONTACT ALLISON JONES WITHIN 24 HOURS

"THIS PAYMENT-POLICING PROGRAM IS INSTALLED

BITCH!
Hedy: SHOULD I JUST PLUG THIS
IN THE PHONE JACK?
UH-HUH. GREAT.
YOU CAN MAKE RESERVATIONS ON THIS?
MM-HMM. YOU CAN EVEN PAY BY CREDIT CARD.
WOW!
(modem dialing)
L.A., RIGHT?
YEAH.
Woman: NO ANSWER AT THE FIRST NUMBER.
WHAT ABOUT THIS KNOX?
NO.
(busy signal)
BUSY.
YOU TURN THEM OFF. YOU TURN THEM ALL OFF!
(keyboard clicking)
Hedy: THINGS WILL BE DIFFERENT IN L.A., ALLIE.
YOU'LL SEE.
FIRST CLASS?
IS IT WORTH IT?
WELL, WE CAN USE ONE OF GRAHAM'S CARDS.
I THINK I SAW HIS WALLET IN THE LIVING ROOM.
OH, ME, TOO. OKAY, I'LL GO SEE.
(typing rapidly)
I CAN'T FIND IT.
UH... I KNOW I SAW IT SOMEWHERE!
MAYBE IT'S IN THE KITCHEN!
NO, NO, NO, NO!
IT'S GOING DOWN.
(breathing heavily)
OKAY.
OKAY, IT'S OKAY. IT'S OKAY.
OKAY, OKAY.
EXCUSE ME, MISS? MISS, IS THIS 1203?
IS GRAHAM KNOX AT HOME?
HMM... NO, HE'S ON A CRUISE.
ACTUALLY, I'M LOOKING FOR A WOMAN...
ALLISON JONES. DO YOU KNOW HER?
WHO ARE YOU?
MITCHELL MYERSON.
SHE DID A JOB FOR ME.
UM... THERE'S NO ONE NAMED JONES
ON THIS FLOOR.
I KNOW... I WAS JUST DOWN AT HER APARTMENT.
BUT I DID CONTACT HER HERE ONCE.
WELL, I'M THE ONLY ONE HERE NOW
AND I NEVER MET HER, SO...
IF YOU'LL EXCUSE ME.
OH, SORRY.
THIS IS HERS. YOU DO KNOW HER.
(muffled screaming)
(muffled:) HELP ME!
(muffled:) HELP!
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
BE CAREFUL, SHE'S CRAZY.
GET OFF OF HER.
WHAT?
(cocks gun)
YOU THINK SHE WANTS YOU TOUCHING HER, HUH?
I SAID GET OFF HER!
OKAY, OKAY. OKAY, I HEAR YOU.
I'M GETTING UP, I'M GETTING UP. OKAY.
WHERE IS SHE?
DON'T WORRY ABOUT HER.
I TOOK CARE OF HER.
(yells)
(groaning)
(screaming)
(muffled gunshot)
(screaming)
(muffled gunshot)
(breathing shallowly)
I DON'T WANT TO TRY TO BE LOVED ANYMORE.
I DON'T... WANT TO BE SCARED ANYMORE.
OR TO KILL ANYMORE. I DON'T WANT TO KILL ANYMORE.
I... DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE ANYMORE.
I DON'T WANT TO BE ANYTHING ANYMORE.
I DON'T NEED A REASON TO KILL MYSELF.
I NEED A REASON NOT TO.
THERE ISN'T ONE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO SAY ANYTHING SPECIAL TO ANYONE?
OKAY, "ALLISON JONES."
GO ON.
NOW THEY'LL KNOW IT WAS YOU.
NO ONE WHO KNOWS ME WILL BELIEVE THAT I WROTE THAT.
I WAS NEVER THAT SCARED.
WELL... NOT LIKE THAT.
OF COURSE IT'S YOU.
I NEVER MET ANYONE SO SCARED OF BEING A WOMAN.
AND I SAVED YOU FROM THAT...
BUT YOU DON'T CARE.
DID YOU KNOW
THAT IDENTICAL TWINS ARE NEVER REALLY IDENTICAL?
THERE'S ALWAYS ONE WHO'S PRETTIER.
AND THE ONE WHO'S NOT DOES ALL THE WORK.
SHE USED ME, AND... THEN SHE LEFT ME.
JUST LIKE YOU.
GO ON. TAKE THEM.
COME ON, ALLIE, IT'S NICER THIS WAY.
OKAY.
(yelling)
(screams)
ALLIE!
PLEASE...
PLEASE!
I'M NOT LIKE YOUR SISTER, HEDY.
NOT ANYMORE.
I'M LIKE YOU NOW.
(yelling)
GRAHAM!
I'LL KILL YOU!
GET OFF HIM!
(screams)
GRAHAM, STAY INSIDE.
Graham: ALLIE!
(screams)
NO! NO!
NO!
(screams)
NO!
(gun clicks)
(whimpering)
(gasps)
ALLIE?
ALLIE!
HEY, HERE YOU ARE.
(gasps)
DON'T MAKE ME COME GET YOU.
ALLIE?
COME OUT NOW.
COME ON.
ALLIE.
ALLIE!
(rat squeaking)
COME ON.
COME OUT NOW!
ALLIE, PLEASE!
I'M SCARED.
WHERE ARE YOU?
(screaming)
(gasping in horror)
ALLIE.
(hollow clang)
(hinge squeaking)
WHY ARE YOU HIDING FROM ME?
YOU THINK I CAN'T FIND YOU? HUH?
YOUR GODDAMN SHIRT IS STICKING OUT OF THE DOOR.
(gasps)
(Allie yells)
(Hedy screaming)
(Hedy groans)
ALLIE?
Allie: I CRIED THE WHOLE WEEK OF SAM'S FUNERAL.
GRAHAM SAYS THAT WON'T BRING HIM BACK.
HE SAYS I HAVE TO START LETTING GO.
HE'S RIGHT.
HEDY'S PARENTS SAID THAT FOR YEARS THEY TRIED
TO EXPLAIN TO HER THAT HER SISTER'S DEATH WASN'T HER FAULT
BUT SHE NEVER FORGAVE HERSELF FOR SURVIVING.
SO, EVERY DAY, I TRY TO FORGIVE HEDY FOR SAM.
THEN I TRY TO DO WHAT SHE COULDN'T... FORGIVE MYSELF.
I KNOW WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T.
* LOVE, BE THE TEMPLE OF YOUR HEART *
* LOVE, BE THE BODY OF YOUR LOVE *
* JUST LIKE HOLY WATER TO MY LIPS. *
* YES, I DO KNOW HOW I SURVIVE *
* YES, I DO KNOW WHY I'M ALIVE *
* TO LOVE AND BE WITH YOU
* DAY BY DAY BY DAY
* TIME
* TIME AGAIN, IT IS SAID, WE WILL HEAR, WE WILL SEE *
* SEE IT ALL IN HIS WISDOM
* HIS TRUTH WILL ABOUND AGAIN *
* THE STATE OF INDEPENDENCE SHALL BE *
* YEAH...
