(TIRES SQUEAL)

You need a hand, Mr. Newell?

A head, Dr. Coburn.

I have finals tomorrow.

You should have called in

And asked for a substitute.

I thought of that all
the way over here.

Is it quiet up there?

Listen, I'd like to steal an
evening and spend it with my son.

Will you be all right alone?

Let's see.

I left a number with Marion,

But if you don't have to call...

You have a good time.

MARION: Four.

Hi.

Hi.

Six.

Eight. Ten.

Ten enough?

Twelve.

And 12.

I wrote a number down for Dr.
Coburn.

It's right by the phone.

Anything?

Not a creature stirring.

Let me know how you
like the coffee.

It's a new brand.

Good night.

Good night.

Crisis Clinic. Newell speaking.

MAN: Newell, huh? What have
you got against barbers?

It depends on the haircut.

Well, I'm a barber.

Your name, please.

Rudy. Rudy Leachman.

Your age, please, Mr. Leachman.

Ah, come on. What's age
got to do with it?

I bet you're one of those guys who
think barbers got pension plans.

(RINGING)

Would you hold the
phone a moment please?

Mac, where you going?

(RINGING)

There are some things you
ought to learn about barbers.

Crisis Clinic. Newell speaking.

WOMAN: I have to
talk to somebody.

BARBER: You know, there are
11,000 barbers in this country?

Hold the phone a moment, please.

Well, I'm one of the best.

Cutting hair is an art.

Sir...

That's right. I said an art. I suppose
you think barbers never shut up.

Well, it's a two-way street.

I'm going to have
to call you back.

I've got somebody
on the other line.

Would you please
give me a number?

You ought to hear the
things people say.

They ought to be ashamed.

Hold the phone a minute.

Wait a minute. I stood next
to my chair listening...

I'm here now.

You can talk to me if you like.

WOMAN: What did you
say your name was?

Newell.

N-E-W-E-L-L.

Alan Newell.

May I ask who's calling, please?

Does it make any difference?

You know my name.

Why shouldn't I know yours?

Now, what do I call you?

Please?

Stupid.

Not you. Me.

Just call me stupid.

Why, miss?

Missus.

I planned everything
except the car keys.

What if they don't find them?

It's a brand-new car.

Maybe there's something
I can do about that.

I could mail them, I suppose,

But I don't have a stamp,

And I can't go out
now, even if I did.

I want Mark to have them.

How old are you?

I'm just trying
to get a picture.

You know, it makes it easier if
I can kind of see the person.

I'm 30.

An old 30.

Look, miss...

Missus.

Why can't we be sociable,

And I call you missus but Mrs.
What?

Ah, you're well
trained, aren't you?

I beg your pardon?

Talking to disturbed people.

Are you disturbed?

BARBER: Why don't you
say something, mac?

WOMAN: Not anymore.

That's good.

Very simple cure, Mr. Newell.

Just hold out one hand and pour
yourself the right kind of pills,

Then open your
mouth and swallow.

BARBER: Hey, speak, will you?

Ain't you got no point of view?

Do I understand that you're

Thinking of taking barbiturates?

WOMAN: You do not understand me.

Well, I'm glad of that.

I am not thinking of
taking barbiturates.

I have taken barbiturates.

I am checking out, Mr. Newell.

Except for these damn keys.

I don't know what
to do about them.

I could have them picked up.

Good night, Mr. Newell.

I mean, goodbye.

No.

Oh?

I want to talk to you.

I mean, I need to talk to you.

Didn't you need to talk to
somebody just a moment ago?

Well?

Now I need to talk to somebody.

What kind of psychology is that?

I'm not a psychiatrist, lady.

I'm a student at the U.

I come up here one night a week.

I sit by the phone, when the
phone rings, I answer it.

I'm a volunteer.

BARBER: I got another reason...

You understand that, lady?

You understand the
irony of that?

On the most important
night of your life,

When you need somebody
who really knows,

You had to pick me?

BARBER: how I cut
their husbands' hair.

Ma'am?

Ma'am?

WOMAN: I heard you, Mr. Newell.

I need a cup of coffee.

The pot is just over there

On the other side of the room.

But if I go get it, will you...

Will you stay on the line?

Will you promise me?

Just please promise
to stay on the line

Till I get a cup of coffee.

I might. I might not.

Just hold on one second,

And I'll get some coffee.

BARBER: Ain't you got
no point of view?

Come on, speak, will you?

Mac, are you still there?

Look, mister, I've got an
emergency on our other line.

Please give me your number.

Forget it, mac.

Got a woman on our other line.
Maine 2-1454.

One moment, please.

Yes?

All right.

Go ahead, sir.

ALAN: Got a woman
on our other line.

She's taken pills. I
need an emergency trace.

Would you hold the
line a minute, sir?

I can't. I'll lose her.

How long will it take?

Sir, that depends on where
the call's originating.

Get a hold of a Dr. Joe Coburn.

Emergency.

I need a trace incoming to the
Crisis Clinic at Maine 2-1454.

Maine 2-1454.

Make it as fast as I can.

ALAN: Hello.

WOMAN: How's the coffee?

Marion, she's the
secretary here,

She makes the hairiest
coffee in the world.

You sound nervous.

It comes through, huh?

(LAUGHING) What the hell
are you nervous about?

Because I don't know
what to say to you.

I mean, up here they
give us lectures

On how to handle
people in trouble.

We're supposed to gain
their confidence.

They call it rapport.

It's just words.

Look, lady,

You sure you wouldn't just...

Just tell me where you are?

Your voice has a nice ring to it, Mr.
Newell.

Thank you again. Goodbye.

Wait a minute.

Please.

Yes?

Why?

Why did you pick today?

What went wrong?

Isn't that funny?

Nothing, really.

I just didn't have
anything to do.

ALAN: What?

My boss didn't come back.

I didn't know that.

(SIGHS)

I didn't know that, though,

Until I got to
work this morning.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Oh, thank you, Tom.

Mr. Hampton's office.

RECEPTIONIST: Mr.
Hampton for you, Inga.

Go ahead, sir.

HAMPTON: Hello, Inga?

Hello, Mr. Hampton.

Inga, I won't be
coming in today.

The skiing's great, so
we've decided to stay.

Call Mrs. Hampton's mother.

Tell her we'll make
that dinner next week.

Tell her the kids
are having a ball.

Everything okay?

Yes.

Remember that squeak
in your chair?

Well, I worked it out.
I did it myself.

Great. You're sure now
there's nothing important?

No. Everything's fine.

The ski bus is outside, so...

Yes. See you tomorrow.

Hi, Jinny.

Oh, hi, Inga.

When can we have lunch?

Oh, you remember Marvin?
He just called.

We're going to have lunch
at the Windjammer.

He just bought a new
30-foot sailboat.

You don't mind, huh?

(RINGS)

Good morning. Price and Hampton.

He's not in. I expect him back at 3:00.
May I help you?

Just a moment, please.

INGA OVER PHONE: So I spent
the morning labeling keys.

I have excellent
handwriting, you know.

I even won an award for
penmanship in secretarial school.

(SLAM)

Now, look, are you
trying to tell me

That just because your boss
didn't show up this morning

You decided to kill yourself?

You don't understand.

Well, I'm trying!

It had nothing to do with him.

I just wanted to keep busy

So I wouldn't have to think.

About what, Inga?

Who told you my name?

You did, just now,

When you were telling
me about you and Jinny.

You're trying to
figure out where I am?

From the name Inga?

I shouldn't have told you about the office.
You might try and trace me.

What do I know about tracing?

I'm not trying to trick you.

How do I know that?

You'll just have to trust me.

Inga?

What?

What time did you
take the pills?

Why do you care?

Never mind why. I care.

But why?

What kind of question is that?

A perfectly valid question.

Why should you?

Why shouldn't I?

See? You don't know why.

Okay, okay, I don't know why.

Does everything have
to have a reason?

How about what you're doing?

I mean, I ask you why. Eh?

What do you tell me? Your
boss got hung up skiing.

Well, lady, that's one hell of a
good reason to kill yourself!

Okay, okay. Stop hollering.
You're hurting my ears.

Where is that man?

(BUZZES)

An emergency trace.
Maine 2-1454.

The call's coming through the
Jackson Switching Station

Out by the airport.

We'll have to send a man out
there to complete the trace.

Thank you.

(RINGING)

Your busy night?

Just hold the phone, please.

Crisis Clinic. Newell speaking.

WOMAN: In tracing your call,

We find it's coming through an
outlying switching station.

We're sending a man out
to complete the trace.

Then tell him to hurry.

Look, this lady may drop
the phone any minute now.

Come on, please.

On your call to a Dr. Coburn,

Mutual 2-4530 is busy.

We'll keep trying.

Get a police car out there

And tell him I need him. Hurry!

(PHONE HANGS UP)

I'm sorry.

Where were we?

Who was that?

A drunken barber.

We get a few like that.
And not all barbers.

Why were you so brief with him?

Well, when I say drunk,
I mean, he was...

You're not brief with me.

Why, you're not a
drunken barber.

But you do disapprove of
what I'm doing, right?

Look, I'm not going
to judge you, Inga.

I can't. I only got three rules.

I never play cards
with a guy named Doc,

I never eat in a
place called Mom's,

And I never let them know
when they got me scared.

(LAUGHING) I wish I'd met you
under different circumstances.

Let's make the circumstances.

Just tell me where you are,

And I'll jump in my car, and
I'll be right over there.

Okay.

Okay, Inga.

It bothers me.

The idea of your dying
bothers me greatly.

You're silly. Don't let it.

Aren't you afraid?

Not at all.

I feel wonderful.

I recommend it.

What kind of pills
did you take, Inga?

Think I'm going to tell you?

I already took them. It's done.

There's nothing
more to talk about.

At least give me a reason.

Help me to understand.

What went wrong, and I
don't mean this morning!

INGA: I don't even know you.

ALAN: Maybe it's better.
Maybe it's easier.

(HORN HONKING)

Hi, Ma.

Hi, honey. Want to help?

I'm going to watch Captain
Jupiter with Pete.

It'll be on in five minutes.

Okay. I'll call you for dinner.

Hi, Mrs. Dyson.

Hi, Pete.

Mark?

Honey!

Shall I make us a drink?

Where are you?

Mark.

Are you all right?

Get away.

What is it?

It's a check for $263

From a lawyer in Portland.

What does a lawyer in
Portland have to do...

Where's Chris?

He's outside.

Why?

The check is for him.

His father remembered him.

Do you remember his father?

He remembered Chris
to the tune of $263.

Oh, my God.

Oh...

Mark...

(SIGHS)

It happened before
we were married.

I mean, I...

I was 18.

Mark...

I love you.

He's not my son.

Christopher is not my son.

Oh, my God.

Premature birth.

12 years you knew,

And all this time

You let me call him son.

Why?

I didn't know what else to do.

Why?

How could you do that?

Because I saw you together.

He thinks I'm his father.

But you are h...

Here's his father!

$263, a name on a will...

Who was he? Nobody.

Who was he?

Mark, please, he's dead.

What about you?

Where are you going?

How can I stay here?

You married me with another
man's baby in you.

Mark, please, don't
throw away 12 years.

What are you going to
tell that boy now?

Tell me what to do.

A person owes things, the truth.

A person doesn't just put
a thing like this aside.

A person owes the truth!

I'll do anything. Please...

That's not fair.
That boy's not...

Get out of my way!

Don't leave me alone.

What are you trying to do?

It's very obvious, isn't it?

I came here to talk to you.

What do you want to talk about?

My lying? My cheating?

But they go right on laughing.

Right?

To tell you the truth, I've

Not me.

This vehicle may have been used

To transport a missing woman,

Mrs. Inga Dyson of
142170th Northwest.

This woman is presently
at an unknown address

Where she has ingested an
overdose of sleeping pills.

This is a request to locate.

Pellegrini, call
the Coast Guard.

Request emergency
pickup on Mark Dyson.

Left Ballard this
afternoon on Provider II.

He should be off the north tip
of Whidbey Island by now.

Yes, sir.

Mick, get Peters over to
that contractor's office.

She may be calling from there.

Already done. Line's busy.

Down to 12.

Her respiration is down to 12.

20 to 22 is normal.

Your respiration is
down to 12, Inga.

Oh, good.

20 to 22 is good.
12 is not good.

Not good for you. Great for me.

You keep trying to make
a contest out of this.

Cross my heart and hope to die,

I mustn't tell Alan where I am

Because that would
be losing the game.

You better lose this game, Inga.

Don't you ever get tired saying
the same things over and over?

What do you want me to do?

Say, "Okay, kid, if you want
to get out of it, go ahead?"

"I'll sit here and keep you company
like a slob while you die"?

Can't you just have your
coffee and be sweet?

I can't.

Don't you understand?

I can't just give up like that.

Why?

What stops you?

You.

Me?

It seems I care what
happens to you, Inga.

Oh, Alan, you're
a very nice man.

Nice. This is no time for nice.

Nice is for Saturday night,

And I'm not your date.

No, you aren't, are you?

What if you were, though, Alan?

Would things have
been different?

Would you have been
able to forgive me?

Mark almost did.

Just yesterday.

He almost forgave me.

I kept remembering that look
on his face in the church

When he left me.

I was afraid when he came back,

It would still be there.

I tried.

God, how I tried to
make it go well.

I bought the softest, whitest
outfit I could find,

Little gloves and all.

I spent an hour making sure

My eye make-up was just right

Before I went to the pier.

Mark tried, too.

We even managed to have a
little fun the way we used to.

Alan, we came so close.

(MOTOR RUNNING)

Hey!

Is it still a big ocean?

The biggest.

Was it Pacific?

Yeah, I'd call it
the Pacific Ocean.

Chris says welcome home.

How is he?

He's lonely.

I hope you didn't go
and fix a big spread.

I did. Wine and candles.

I have a new recipe for candles.

I thought we'd do the town
with Charlie and Edna.

Charlie said there's a new one
of those places just opened up.

Charlie, what's that
place with the...

Oh, the Go-Go House.

Yeah. What is it? A what?

A discotheque. Discotheque.

CHARLIE: We'll pick
up Edna on the way.

Am I dressed for it?

Charlie, is she dressed for it?

(GO-GO MUSIC PLAYS)

Oh, wow! I don't believe this.

I believe it. Believe it.

MARK: These two come
here all the time.

It's great for the circulation.

Oh, dear.

What's he doing?
What's he doing?

He wants you to dance with him.

Get out there. Oh, no!

No.

Come on, Inga, let's do it.

Get out of here. I can't...
One time.

No. Come on!

Yeah, come on, try it.

No, I can't.

You're chicken. Come on, Edna.

I'm sorry, Inga.

I'm sorry.

Look, Doctor, don't you
want your story told?

We'll rush the film back,
catch the 10:00 time slot.

She may be dead before your 10:00

Just let us set up

I want to take a few shots
with her on the phone.

The camera won't make any
noise, honest. Please.

Go on. Wiggle them.

ALAN: No more "breakfasts."

That's you, isn't it, Alan?

You stay in there, don't you?

You just keep punching.

Sometimes I give up.

(STIFLED YAWN)

What now?

You want to hear a joke?

Yes. Tell me where you're
calling from, Inga.

Nah, no. A good one, really.

There's this drunk, see.

And he's staring at an
ugly lady on a streetcar.

He's staring and he's staring.

She's trying to ignore him, see.

Finally, he says,

"Lady, you're the ugliest lady
I have ever seen in my life."

And she turns to him and says,

"And you are the drunkest man
I have ever seen in my life."

And the drunk says,
"Yeah, but, lady,"

"In the morning,
I'll be all right."

(INGA LAUGHS)

You're not laughing.

It's not funny.

Alan...

Yep.

Laugh for me.

You must be kidding.

No, I'm not.

So tell them what?

A few simple words, "Come

Maybe you could use
me as a lesson.

Look, Inga.

And please get this straight.

I'm up to my ears in lessons.

I've been taught, long before I
picked up this phone tonight.

I've been taught. So lessons,
I don't need. Understand?

Good people, I do.

You've watched the walls
close in on you. Me, too.

You've been ignored or studied

Out of the corners of people's eyes.
Me, too.

You've been suffered and tolerated.
Me, too.

Times are bad. Things stink.

The world's a
cinder in your eye,

But what is the alternative?

Now, I ask you, Inga, what in
God's name is the alternative?

Every time I breathe, every
breath I take, every gulp,

It's like it's got
bubbles in it.

It's heady.
