- This is my last trick.

Watch carefully, when I'm done,
I'll tell you how it works.

- Right now around the world,

there are about 80
million people, fucking.

Some of them are even
getting pregnant.

Which is what I'm trying
to do myself, tonight.

You know, when you undress
a woman with your eyes,

that's just half the story.

'Cause once the
woman says "Yes,"

and we do more often
than you think,

it's the woman who sooner
or later sees a man naked.

I'll put it on your tab.

And I don't mean buck naked, I
mean what's beneath the skin,

behind your eyes,
inside your heart.

It's a whole lot more
complicated than just plain fucking.

Funny thing is, it's not the
sex you come here for, is it?

It's something else.

- One!

- I know you.

You're that comedian.

- Ah, yeah.

- You're funny.
You're really funny.

Uh, thanks.

- Can you?

Could you?

Never mind.

- Oh, what?

- Could you do that
thing thing you do?

- Oh.

I'd rather not.

- Okay.

- Unless, you know, you
wanna give me a little...

- What?

- A little discount.

- You want me to
give you a discount

just because you do
some stupid joke?

Well, you're the one who wanted.

- Oh come, you won't just do it?

- Oh God.

Okay.

Okay.

- Hubba Bubba Dubba!

- All the dumb things men do
to get laid, like talking.

You wanna be sexy?

Just shut up.

Otherwise you run the risk
of telling us too much

about your mother, or your wife.

Don't get me wrong,

gettin' laid is what
makes the world go 'round.

It's an absolute
necessity for my business.

Hey, who's wearing
too much aftershave?

- What did you order?

You must have some wine.

This is my favorite,
1987 Chateau Margaux.

I'll buy you a case,
send it to your house!

Oh,

I see the people walking by.

- I got a stand-up
routine for you.

- Really?

- You betcha, you wanna hear it?

- I kinda rather
you just show me.

- Okay.

You got the money?

- Well, I thought you were
gon' give me a discount?

- For what?

- You know, the
hubba hubba stuff.

- Oh, we didn't discuss that.

- Oh yeah we did,

Remember I specifically asked
if you'd give me a discount.

- Did I agree to the terms?

- Terms?

- Did I agree, either
verbally or on paper

to provide you with a discount?

Okay, how much?

- 500.

- I can't believe you're
gon' charge me that much.

- How much do you think
these things usually cost?

- Look, what if I, say, gave
you, my, say, autograph?

- How much is that worth?

- I dunno, 400 or so.

- Dollars?

- Mm-hmm.

- Your autograph isn't
not worth that much.

You don't think I'm
worth 500 measly dollars?

- I'm sure you are-
- Just because you're

some big-shot
celebrity, been on TV,

makes you any better
than me, okay?

Well. No one said-

- I should charge you
extra, for the insult.

- Look, I'm going home.

- Fine.

Your loss, buddy.

- Somehow I'll survive.

- You know, you're a
very disturbed person.

- What?

- That's why you come
to see people like me.

- Oh, you my therapist now?

- Otherwise, you'd
have a girlfriend.

- Well, for your information,
I do have a girlfriend.

- And you're cheating on her?

With me?

Oh my God!

- You really are
nuts, you know that?

- What did you say?

- You are. You are really crazy.

- I'm not crazy.

- You get out of the way.

- You take that back.

- You get away from that door!

- No.

The women.

Mostly the women.

Wooh!

And in the morning, their hair
still wet from the shower,

the women, so beautiful
and naked in their shower

I live through
you, you know that.

Oww!

- Hubba Bubba!

Oh my God.

- Another fucking birthday.

Feel the magic.

You guys all have
one thing in common.

You're so damn funny to watch.

Though I gotta say,

turn 'em upside down,
they all look the same.

It's such a guy thing.

- I teach yoga.

Breath of life.

- Women don't look
at men that way.

We could if we wanted to.

Hey, Brit, I need you to
spell me at nine, Okay?

- Hot date?

- None of your damn business.

- You must have a beautiful
name or I will surely die.

- Florida.

- Florida!

But why not Nebraska
or Carolina?

Or Marina Del Rey

I call you Marina!

- Sure. Why Not.

- Marina, this is more
sexy name for you.

The water, the boats slipping
in and out of the docks,

this is so much more sexy.

Please, you will have some wine?

- Just a diet coke, no ice.

- No, you must taste this
wine, 1987 Chateau Margaux.

- Diet coke, no ice. Thanks.

So, what's your name?

- Marcello. Mastroianni.

- You don't happen to
have any mouthwash?

Never mind.

Never mind.

Look, I know you've probably
heard this before, I'm married.

I'm married.

But.

I'm just not a very good liar.

She always knows when
I've snuck a Snickers

out of the fridge,
or when I smoke.

Boy oh boy, she
hate when I smoke.

So she'd smell me. And you.

Course, she's been
really busy lately.

And I'm still young.

You know in Europe, men
have wives and mistresses.

(Sitar Music

- I can do this for
one hour, 10 minutes.

The Yogi Kutamanda,

could remain in this
position for 48 hours.

One woman died of
pleasure afterward.

Died!

So many orgasms, oh,
she could not breathe.

- I mean, in Europe,
they sit around a café.

You can't exactly do that here.

I mean there's Seattle's
Best and Starbucks.

I kinda like, you know, prefer
the chai latte at Starbucks.

Sprinkles, and the
nutmeg they put on it.

Did you know that
seven-year itch

is a biologically-based
phenomenon?

That deer and bears
and, you know, animals,

they take seven years to
have and wean their young.

And then they move on and
start a whole other family!

They're like serial monogamists!

So maybe I'm just in the
seven-year-itch part, huh!

- Do it to me!

- Oh, yeah, baby, do it to me.

Do it to me.

Oh yeah baby!

- Wait! Boston Bruins!
Boston Bruins! Boston Bruins!

- I've only been
married, four years.

But we dated for
four, no, five years.

So I'm either too
early or too late.

If you count dating.

My therapist tells
me I need to have

a fuller experience
of my masculinity.

I guess he's just
trying to say that

as men, we all make mistakes
and I should, you know,

take my turn.

- So what can I do for you?

- What are my choices?

- You know the choices.

- Ah, tell them to me.
Is so much more sexy.

Ah, you women, on your knees
you have all the power.

Should you ever stand,
we men are finished.

- What you're paying, I can
go around the world with you.

- Can you go around
the world in 450 days?

- I can go anywhere
you want, baby. 750.

- But if I already
know it's a mistake,

then it's not really
a mistake, is it?

Although there could be
ramifications I am not aware of.

Which makes it a mistake.

So, this is a mistake,
coming to you.

Not that you're a mistake.

Just, you know,
coming to see you.

- Boston Bruins! Boston
Bruins! Boston Bruins!

Whenever my Pranayama
breath begins to fail,

I think of hockey, the
Boston Bruins specifically.

- You know, maybe we should
get to know each other first.

We could get some coffee.

Maybe even take in
a play at night.

At night, I forgot,
your prime time.

So, maybe, you know, there's
this Italian film festival,

Rosalini and De Sica.

- Boston Bruins! Boston Bruins!

Boston Bruins! Boston Bruins!

No, coffee,
coffee sounds better.

Yeah, so we'll get some coffee

and then we'll, whoa!

- Whooo!

I'm taking these drugs,

that make me feel like shit.

Clomid, Myradol.

And on the back here, it
says, "Symptoms may include

severe headaches, mood
swings, nausea, hot flashes."

I guess it makes being
pregnant downright pleasurable

in comparison.

- How much money do you make
in one year? 200,000? More?

- Yeah. Good luck.

- You make less?

- Maybe.

- What if I could pay
you one million dollars?

- What, I gotta kill somebody?

- Oh my darling, so
much not killing.

- Yeah. This is getting
weird. I'm gotta go.

- Ah! A tough negotiator!
You must be a Capricorn!

- No.

So, are we on the
same boat or not?

Si, Madonna, you American
women, nothing fools you, yes?

- Yes.

Taurus.

- Ah, I knew it!

The bull.

Stubborn. But so sexy.

Aowwww!

You are fiery. I
love this in a woman.

I will pay you 2000.

- I only want 750.

- No. That is for
the other thing.

I pay you to argue with me.

- 750.

- No! You must take the 2000.

- Yeah, okay you are whacked.

- This is perfetto!

- Oh!

Is this like the Kama
Sutra Indian shit?

- India? No way, sister,
I am from Pakistan.

- Oh, you guys from Pakistan
really know what you're doing.

Oh yeah, don't stop.
Don't stop! Don't stop!

- Boston Bruins, Boston Bruins.

- I'm out of here.

- Wait!

Where are you going?

Wait!

What did I do? What did I say?

You Western women,

you fuck like you are
shopping for vegetables!

- Oh, God.

I look like shit.

You know, we check
you guys out too.

Your butts, your
hands, your faces,

we're scoping out
the whole package.

Something from the
prehistoric days.

Searching through
the whole gene pool,

trying to keep
the race evolving.

We may start out
looking for a good fuck,

but sooner or later we end
up looking for a good father.

Maybe that's why we end up
with versions of our own dad,

I don't know.

Hello, is Richard there?

Oh. Who are you, his wife?

His mother?

What do you mean he's out of
town, he can't be out of town,

we had a very, very important
appointment tonight.

Well people don't
just go out of town,

they go someplace I mean.

Cleveland?

Nobody goes to Cleveland.

I'm sorry.

- So, I am blindfolded by
Magic Girl, okay thank you.

Okay! Can I just have the
cards, back. Thank you.

And I need somebody
to, pick a card.

And if you're raising
your hand, I can't see it.

I just assume you're
right there, go ahead,

tell me when to stop.

Before I'm done.

Okay, here we go.
Tell me when to stop.

- Stop.
- Okay, good.

Take the top card, please.

Do not show it to
me or Magic Girl.

- Give me back my card.

- We also do a thriving
out-call business.

My employees don't offer much
in the way of conversation.

They let the clients
do the talking.

- Society invented love to try
to keep the family together.

Yeah, they want you to think

there's got to be some
kind of connection

between sex and the love thing.

But it just ain't true.

No, I give you an example,
I mean I love to play golf.

But I don't wanna have
sex with my golf partner,

you know what I'm sayin'?

Man I'd love to
have sex with you,

but I don't know if I'd
wanna play golf with you.

Yeah, I got this Iowa deal
I've been working on for about,

oh maybe like five months,
something like that, you know.

If I could get that
baby to close, whoo boy!

We're talking champagne,
champagne for everybody.

Yeah, big old payday!

How much you usually
cost, anyway?

I mean, it don't
make any difference.

I mean he's gon' pay you,

and he's gonna pay
you well, you know?

I mean, I consult with
this guy, you know?

I am his consultant, you know?

Yeah, he you gon' like you.

We got ourselves a
little extra time here.

Great big old limousine.

Maybe you feel like
making yourself

a little extra cash
here, you know?

I ain't got a whole lot, I
didn't bring much with me.

But, hell, he's gonna pay
you enough anyway as it is.

The guy's got more
money than God.

It ain't like he's gonna catch
my hand in the cookie jar,

before his.

He's got everything.

How's about a look
at your breasts? Huh?

Yeah? I bet you could do one
of them wet-tee-shirt contests.

Whoo-hoo, yeah, I bet you could.

I went to one of them once
down in Cabo, whoo hoo!

I'm tellin' you wild, I
mean real wild! Yes indeed!

Them "Girls Gone Wild"
totally video things,

you know what I'm sayin'?

I bet it's probably kinda tame

for what you're
used to though, hey.

Yeah!

I mean, an example of that
is, you're kinda short,

what are you, about 5'2",
something like that?

Is that right?

Yeah?

I got an eye for height,
even with you sitting down,

I can check it.

Yeah check it out get it all
the time right there yeah.

I bet you'd be one hell
of a little spinner-fuck.

I bet you would.

I bet I could spin you around.

I bet I could spin you around
and make your head dizzy.

- How come?

How come?

There's the leather furniture
and the pretty white girls

who ain't got no problems.

I cain't pay for none of that.

How come I can't fuck
the pretty white girls.

I gotta fuck some nasty
whore with syphilis

and gonorrhea and aids and shit.

'Cause George Bush he done it.

He put us over there
in Nam. I was there.

I saw everything.
They fucked up.

The brothers is all fucked up.

A whole generation of Black
brothers messed up in the head.

You ain't seen no
George Bush in Nam.

Huh?

Now where the fuck was he?

Hangin' out on daddy's farm,

that's where, MPs patrollin'
the oil fields.

George Bush... and
that Watergate thing.

Now, he the president

and I'm needin' 55 cent
more for a cheeseburger.

That shit is...

How much you gon' cost? Huh?

You are skanky, girl, you are
one skanky mo' fuckin' bitch.

Oh.

I can't say bitch now, can I?

I just wanna know, 'cause I
go up and down these streets,

'cause I'm cold, see?

And there's all
these pretty people,

and I'm thinkin', what happened?

What happened to Love and Peace?

Where'd those hippies go off to?

They all just keel over and die?

Naw! They around.

They just cut their hair,
put on their good suits,

stash their jeans and beads
and sewed up their pockets.

They voted for George Bush.

I mean, where'd
those hippies go?

Not to the Nam,
that's for damn sure.

Only black men and
spics and shit.

One or two crackers in there
too, but mostly it was us.

And now they back.

Them white folk,
they got their BWM's

and their leather furniture

and Yankee baseball
hats and warm coats.

The love generation!

They love they selves.

- Number one, have
you ever paid for sex?

Number two, was it good? Very
good? Dreamlike? Horrendous?

Crash and burn?

Number three, have you ever
worked in a whorehouse?

Number four, have you ever
taken part in group sex?

Number five, have you ever
performed magic tricks in public?

Number six, have you ever
performed in a dog-and-pony act?

Number seven, what does
this remind you of?

Number eight, are you having
sexual fantasies right now?

Number nine,

who is the object of your
sexual fantasies right now?

- Wait, wait, wait.

Look at
the following photographs,

would you pay to have sex with-

- Can I have a moment here?

- Sure. You need
a glass of water?

- Okay.

- Come on in.

Get me a drink, would you?

Vodka martini if you
know how to make it.

I'll be right back.

- Hi, I'm Sal.

- Where are we?

- It's your hotel room.

- No, I mean, what's the plan.

How does all this work?

- It's $300 for the hour.

- Good lord, it's
more than my facial.

- Yeah.

But this'll get those
blood vessels circulating.

It's $300.

- I know but God.

Where are you going?

- I don't negotiate on price.

- Not even if I...

- That's $400.

- Oh. Well, let's just
stick to the basics.

Good.

- You take a check?

- Would you?

- I guess not.

Turn around.

- All right.

- I mean, turn
and face the wall.

- Okay.

Okay. Here.

- Thanks.

- Shall we continue?

- Okay.

Is it hot in here?

- I'm feeling a
little warm myself.

When was your first ejaculation?

- Somehow I expected a
little romance in the deal.

- Romance'll cost you $500.

- The market rate?

- Let me tell you,
you're lucky at 500.

Really?

- Yes.

Senior prom, I took this girl,

set me back $750 by
the time we were done.

And that was high school.

- Did you score?

- Yeah, I scored. I always
score when I want to.

- Well then.

It looks as though you chose
your profession with care.

- Follow your bliss.

Of course, if I
coulda done anything,

I'd've been a real estate agent.

- That's not so hard.
You could do that now.

- What? Between tricks.

- Sure. Kind of a
work-study program.

You could build your
clientele that way.

- I can't add.

- What?

- I can't add to save my life.

But I was really good
at geography, though.

- Going around the
world your specialty?

- No, really.

Magellan... he's my hero.

It took balls to do what he did.

- Yeah, what was that?

- Everyone remembers
Columbus, right?

Magellan, boom! Way more cool.

Magellan circumnavigated
the globe.

- Circumnavigated?

- Yeah, went around the
world, in a boat in 1522.

Now, considering everyone else
thought the world was flat,

Magellan, this guy. He's like
Kobe or Shaq or something.

I mean, think about it,

no refrigerators, no
telephones, no GPS,

no radar, no electri-

- We're not here for a
geography lesson, are we? Sal.

- I think there's some
exploring I can do.

- Ever had sex with a
partner of the same sex?

Ever had a partner of no sex?

- Wait, what does that mean?

- Have you ever had no sex?

- Do you mean, have
I ever been celibate?

- How often do you masturbate?

- Can I just write these down?

- The purpose of this study
is to monitor the physical

and physiological
responses to verbal

as well as visual stimuli.

- But I'm embarrassed.

- I think that's evident.

- Can't we just skip this part?

- Fine.

- Do I still get paid the $200?

- You haven't completed
the questionnaire.

- But I-
- You must complete the

questionnaire or the
data will be incomplete.

- How many more questions?

- Just five.

- Can't you just
write them down?

- No. But I can whisper
them if you'd like.

- But no one's in the room.

- You know, watching.

- People been watching us?

- Of course. It is
a study, after all.

NSF isn't going to fund research

on the effects of socio-sexual
behavioral patterns

without empirical data.

- You mean, scientists
are watching us?

- Oh yeah, and video.
Electroencephalograms.

That's why the wires and all.

- Maybe you'd better whisper.

- Okay.

- Let's just not talk, okay?

- Who's talking?

- Oh, okay.

- Besides it wasn't
me yammering anyway.

- What was that?

- Nothing.

- Did you just say, yammering?

That I'm yammering? Me?

- I just want to make
you happy, honey.

- Don't you honey me,
Sal. You yammerer.

Oh here we go.

- Here we go, what?

- Hey. Let's just drop it, okay?

- Oh, yeah you
wanna just drop it?

Next thing you know you'll
be trying to take it back.

- I do. I take it back.

- Well you can't just take
it back! It's been said!

- All right, you know what?

I don't have to
listen to this crap.

- Oh, excuse me but
who exactly is paying

for this little date?

This big romantic fuck?

- Looks like me in
that special way.

- Get outta here.

Get your clothes and get out.

- There's a little settling up
that we gotta do first, lady.

- We've have nothing to settle.

- It's $350 for the date.

- This is no date.
This is not a date.

- Yes it is.

- And you said 300 before,
when did it become 350?

- It's 300 for the fuck,
an extra 50 because you...

touched my clothes!

- I don't owe you one red cent.

- Usually we just
start breaking things

until you decide to cooperate.

- You break one thing and
I'll see you in court.

- You're gonna sue me?

Why don't you just
give me the extra $50

and I'll get out of your hair.

- No.

- Gimme the money!

- Put that down.

- The money!

- I know karate.

- Gimme the fuckin' money!

- You almost broke this vase!

- Oh, fuck!

Oh, you broke my fucking balls!

- Okay!

Okay, just quiet down.

- Oh, you really do know karate!

Here. Just put this on it.

- Ah Jesus Christ! Is that ice?

- That's what you use to
keep the swelling down.

- Oh.

Oh God.

Oh.

- Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Oh my God.

Maybe I could call
you some time?

- What?

- I'd like to ask
you out, a date.

- Dinner? A movie?

- Yeah.

- I'm married.

- Oh.

Oh.

Does your husband know
what you do for a living?

- My husband's the lead
scientist on this project.

- So,

he's gonna watch our interview?

- He's been watching the
entire interview, right there.

He's a scientist.

Thank you for
participating in our study.

- You're good.
You are very good.

Just doing my job.

- I'll say.

- You are one looney
chick, you know that?

- I don't think anyone's
ever called me that before.

- What, looney?

All they gotta do
is look at you lady.

- It's just, I'm the
CEO of my company.

And nobody would dare
call me a looney chick.

- Hey, I gotta go
to the hospital.

My balls are gonna fall off.

- I'll drive you.

- No, no, no-

- I'll drive you.

I hurt you, the least I can
do is get you to the hospital.

- This has been some date, huh.

- Maybe we can reschedule.

- You wanna what?

- You know, maybe when
you're feeling better.

- Like some time next November?

- I used to have this friend.

We'd, you know.

We called ourselves
fuck buddies.

- You mean that he knew you

and he still wanted
to have sex with you?

- I come to town pretty often.

We could be fuck buddies.

- Excuse me, this, is
how I make my living.

- Oh, I'll pay you.

Money is no object.

- What?

That's not what you said
just a few minutes ago.

- Oh, I know.

I was just.

I'm sorry.

- Wow.

- What?

- I'll bet you don't
apologize much.

- No.

- Thank you. The ice helped.

- It's cold. And wet.

- I wanna start
over with the date.

- I thought you said
romance would cost extra.

- Next time.

- Whatever you say, baby.

- You wait.

You just wait.

I close that damn
Iowa deal, yeah.

That Iowa deal, we talkin
champagne, champagne

for everybody.

You just wait.

- Three!

- This is four.

- No, three!

- Four!

- Four!

- Okay.

- So, how much for a blow job?

A fuck?

Around the world?

Ah, that's a little
pricey for me.

I'll just take the blow job.

♪ Moments moving
across the screen ♪

- No, but.

- 'Cause actually, my wife, she
don't go down on me no more.

I mean she used to,
when we was dating,

like a fucking vacuum cleaner.

We'd go to the movies,
make out in the back row.

Oh, yeah, that's good.

I know this
is kinda short notice

but tonight I'm working
on this project.

Suck it hard.

Yeah.

Once she went down
on me at the A&W.

- Cleveland.

I'm comin' and I turn, bam!

There's my root beer float.

Karen lifts her head, and
there's jizz all over her lip.

And the waitress, she don't
miss a beat, she smiles

and says, "You want some
extra napkins with that?"

Oh man.

- Austin was cool, very cool.

Great in bed.

But he was a poet, you know?

- Oh, God save me from
poets. And guitar players.

- Yeah. He was moody.

I never knew what mood
he was gonna end up in.

Oh God, he jumped out of a
window, tried to kill himself,

ended up in a fucking
wheelchair, I forgot.

Loser.

- Oh man, we had
fun in the old days.

- Grace, you're gonna get
old just looking for lines.

Stop.

- It probably starts just
as Uranus and Jupiter

go into Aries, Saturn
passes into Libra,

and the sun and
moon cross Cancer.

- I bought her flowers,
real nice flowers,

you think that makes
any difference?

- If we're lucky enough
to still be standing here

after all this massive
shit-storm currently raining down

on the human population,
well then I say, sit back,

relax and enjoy the movie.

- Have you ever been in love?

They was right about it,

It hurts to be in love.

It hurts so much.
- You want some more?

- I'll kill 'em both.

I'll find out where they are,
which goddamn motel they're in

and put a bullet in their heads!

- I'll suck cock and
take it up the ass

for the right dollar figure.

'Cause none of this matters.

- Hey, hey, come on,
come on, come on.

Let's try again, all right?

- Not when you look at the
night sky with a telescope.

- Here's more.

Is all I got.

- See, I got this telescope.

And last night, I looked
up and I saw a galaxy

50 million light years away.

I'm looking at light
particles that left their home

50 million years ago!

So don't try to tell
me any of this matters.

Except maybe a good
laugh. And a good fuck.

♪ Watching and waiting for
this movie in the dark ♪

- Hey, hey, turn
around. Turn around.

♪ Time slowly, fading while
the actors play their part ♪

♪ Time slowly, fading while
the actors play their part ♪

- Oh no, this is not good.

I've got to go teach a class.

Oh.

Oh, that is not good.

- All right what number's this?

- Six!
- No, it's seven!

- No, six!
- It's seven!

I need to borrow a ring from
someone in the audience.

Any kind of a ring?
Wedding ring? Anything?

Okay, if you don't
give me a ring,

we can't go to intermission.

Well, last trick
before intermission!

Come on now. Great.

Okay! Beautiful! Here's a ring!

Now watch very carefully
as I take the ring,

put it on my finger,
throw it in the air,

like so, it disappears,
reach in my back pocket,

and there, on my
zipped-up key ring case,

is a bunch of keys, and a
ring, is this your ring, Ma'am?

Yeah!

- Okay good, you happy?

It's intermission!

Get some milk and cookies okay?

Get something to drink.

Vodka.

- I thought you weren't
drinking during shows.

- What? I have to, like,
pass a test to get a drink?

- Get out!

- What, I just want a drink.

- Go back to the casino.
They've got six bars there.

- Grace, c'mon.

- Go away.

- I just want one fucking vodka.

- Behave?

- Yeah.

- What are you in
such a good mood for?

- Why are you such a shit?

- I hate my job.

What's your excuse?

- I got dumped by some asshole
for a trip to Cleveland.

- A big date?

- None of you business.

Why don't you just quit?

- Why don't you
get another date?

- Point taken.

Is it the gig, or the city?

- I just wanna move on with
my fucking life somehow,

and I just,

I don't know how.

- Can't go forward.

- Can't go back.

I know.

I had this date
tonight with Richard.

I figured he's alone, I'm
alone, we'd get together.

I even took these
drugs, fertility drugs,

they made me feel like shit.

- What? You want to have
a baby with this guy?

- That's the general idea.

- Wow! Congratulations.

- No, no, it didn't work out.

I had this list, you know?

Brains, looks, the
whole genetic alphabet.

Richard was the guy.

It was supposed to be tonight.

- Oh.

What he just left?

- Yeah.

To Cleveland.

What's in Cleveland,
huh? Nothing.

You ever think about kids?

- Think about them? I
work with them every day.

- No, I mean about having, kids.

- No. They're too
self-centered and spoiled.

And there's only room for
one of those in my life.

- You could learn, to
be less self-centered.

- Sorry.

I guess I've just done too
many shows or something.

Besides, I don't
wanna bring a kid

into a world this fucked up.

- I know.

Seemed to me to be the
greatest act of faith.

You know, to try. Not
to give up.

- Right now it's
just a full-time job

trying to figure
out my own life.

- You gon' go finish
your show now?

- Yeah, I guess.

Thank you for the, drink.

Hey, Grace.

I used to love this one.

First time I saw it, I thought,

"That's why I got into magic."

Well, it used to cheer me up.

- Thank you for trying.

- Hey,

come back later.

If you feel like it.

- So, what's gonna happen?

Well, some say the
sky will open up

and rain fire down
upon our heads

the Lord will appear

and the blessed will
be taken into Heaven

and the damned into hell.

In the Big FJ.

Final Judgment.

- Would you like a drink?

Of vodka of course.

I should have died years ago

from all the vodka that I drink.

Do you understand
a word I'm saying?

Of course not.

How utterly delightful.

- Happy.

So glad to see you. Did
you get to my last gig?

I left a message for
you with the doorman.

It's okay, it was a
late night anyway.

The piano was out of tune.

Oh no, they can't...

I start playing tonight,
and just like that,

just like that, I stop.

'Cause I forgot, the lyrics.

I can't play the tune

if I don't remember the lyrics.

So I stopped.

My wife, that's her favorite
song, she loved that song.

Oh no, they...

Arigato.

You know, we could
just talk awhile.

- Yes.

You look like a
bear, a dancing bear.

You might rethink your
particular fashion statement.

God knows I'm not judging you,

it's just I believe the
clothes make the man.

You could use some refinement

in some of your
choices here, you know.

I know that we just met.

Do you read, sir?

Read, as in books?

Yes, I do seem to have
quite a few of them.

I bring them along as
companions on my journey.

I've read all of
these, so of course,

the question would
be, what next?

Reading can be something of
a savior when one's alone.

Well, let me refresh your glass.

You're not much a
drinker, are you friend?

- This is some
window you got here.

Hey, where are you
from? What city?

Let me guess, not New York.

You got too sweet a face.

I just heard a bit of an accent.

Charming though. I just thought,
maybe Chicago or something.

- Chicago.

- And the blond hair.

Blond hair.

- It look real nice on you.

Your hair dresser
done a real nice job.

I like it blond better.

My wife has dark hair.

Well, now with the
treatments she's got a wig,

but she's real pretty, even
with most of her hair gone.

She was always worried that I
would go to a younger woman.

I never did. Ever.

Look at that building there.

That's real old brick.

You don't see that much anymore.

Looks kinda like a castle.

That's a coincidence, isn't it?

Do you know what that is?

That's the hospital, isn't it?

It is. I should've known.

We're on this side of
the, I didn't realize.

No.

I don't wanna do anything.

I don't even know
why I come up here.

You can keep the
money. Here's a tip.

She was a real
funny kid, my girl.

She would always
laugh at my bad jokes,

even after 20 times
me telling 'em.

Why, just last Tuesday, just
Tuesday, just three days ago,

I got her to laugh.

She actually laughed
which was hard

'cause she was hurting so bad.

I have to go.

I have to go.

You take care.

And be careful, 'cause
it's dangerous out there.

And I'll bet there's
people out there,

there's someone out
there, worrying about you,

thinking about you,
at this very moment.

People dying every day.

You take care.

- But I think God's
smarter than that.

I think He's gonna
sneak up on us.

One day, He'll just show up.

He'll have some
cleaning up to do.

The air, the water,
certain politicians.

But there'll be a time of peace.

Like we can take the race
out of the human race.

Well, I gotta get
back to studying.

Unless you've got some
more disposable income

you wanna dispose on me.

See, this integral calculus
needs time to sink in.

I can handle the
one-variable stuff,

but the two-variable stuff
is one mind-bending fuck.

Hey, you got a handle
on integral calculus?

- Oh yes my, you do stay
in shape, don't you?

There must be something to this
gym-health-club craze, huh?

I find it a bit of a circus

with all the women
prouncing around

with their silly little outfits.

I don't hate women, I just
find them superficial.

They lack substance.

Always wondered, what is
one to talk with them about?

My mother was a wonderful
conversationalist

but even she could be limited

in the breadth of her subjects.

I just will never understand.

Never will understand.

Yes.

Would you mind?

Yes.

Do you ever get lonely, sir?

Lonely?

Do you ever feel, alone?

Oh, never mind.

Beautiful, quite,
quite beautiful.

Yes, so bovine, so diamond hard.

Youth always is, somehow,
so oblivious to it all.

Here you are, like
Michelangelo's "David."

And I do not mean the
dance club, friend. No.

I mean an artist.

An artist who loved
the human form.

It seemed to keep him going.

And you are beautiful.
Yes you are.

And I am drunk.

To Michelangelo.

Come here.

I am going to suck you dry.

- I love this one.

It's just so pure.

But I guess I'm kind of
inconsistent, actually.

'Cause you know
all these tricks,

sooner or later
just become tricks.

Lies.

Show me a trick, it's
like saying, lie to me.

Even this one.

If I keep doing it,
sooner or later,

I'm probably gonna hate it.

But I'm gonna do
it for you anyway.

- You're supposed
to do this one.

- See, if I lie to you,

Magic Girl will tell
you that I'm sane.

But if I tell you the truth,
she'll tell you I've gone nuts.

- You're gonna blow this gig.

- Don't worry. You'll get paid.

The one-handed link.

It always worked so
well in the shower.

- Marina?

I'm sleeping.

- For this I pay you?

- No, for this.

- Ow!
- You pay me.

That was my union
break, Marcello.

- I thought you'd
never make the kiss.

- I woke up romantic.

- I could marry you.

- Make an honest woman of
me? Yeah, no thank you.

- Of course, you are right.

You know why I go to escort
service and not the date?

- 'Cause whores
know how to fuck.

- You are so direct, my darling.

But also, the women I date
want to marry me, for my money.

- Whereas I only wanna
fuck you for your money.

- Yes, my darling. You
are, how I say? Authentic.

This I love about you.

Come, what is your real name?

- I already told you.

- I do not believe you.

- What's your real name?

- I tell you.

- No, you lied.

I saw those Fellini movies,

you are definitely not
Marcello Mastroianni.

Come on, what's your real name?

- Emilio Santangelo Tognoni.

And yours?

- Santa Lucia.

- Come on, I tell you
mine, you tell me yours.

- Marilynn Monroe.

- Okay, I pay you
1,000 to tell me.

- Really, $1,000?

- $100.

- You said $1,000.

- I make mistake. My
English not so good.

- I just forgot my real name.

- Okay, okay! I pay you $1,000,
now you tell me your name.

- Let's see the bucks.

- After. Later.

- Now.

Maybe we get one more...

For same price?

- Maybe.

It's raining and I
can't get wet.

- I'm sorry?

- It's all this sex happening.

- You're looking for a date?

- Maybe.

- Wow. I didn't think...

- You didn't think what?

- You're the boss,
I didn't think...

- Shut up.

Come dance with me.

♪ I'm going crazy over you ♪

I love this song.

Oh God, why didn't
I get married?

Not like I didn't have
enough guys asking me.

Hey, this is the happiest
place on earth, isn't it, Dave?

Disneyland's got nothing on us.

Hey, Dave?

You got any kids?

- It depends on whether
or not he's talking to me.

- What does he look like?

- Takes after his mother.
Good looking, not too bright.

- I bet that makes him
popular with the girls, huh.

- Oh yeah.

I guess that makes him the
smartest kid in his class.

So what room do you have free?

- Why don't we find out?

- Wow. Yeah.

What?

I'm sorry.

- What's so funny?

- Nothing, I...

- Bitch.

- Okay. Now, tell me your name.

- Kay Leonard.

- No.

- Yeah. Kay Eleanor Leonard.

- This name, not $1,000 name.

- Tough shit, buddy, you
agreed and I got the cash.

- No, I mean merely you are too
beautiful to have this name.

- I know. It's a dumb name, huh?

- You, Kay Leonard.

You have baby with me?

- What?

Are you nuts?

Get out of here!

- I want to have
bambino with you.

- Okay, do not joke
about this. I'm serious.

- I am serious too. Why not
you want to have baby with me?

- You not exactly breaking
down the doors of romance.

Just can it, okay?

Is very romantic.

- Oh, you want me
to have your bambino

but you don't wanna marry me?

- No, because then is
sure way to kill romance.

- But it's okay for me
to vomit for three months

and then drop some kid on his
head that looks just like you?

- Maybe like you too.

I pay you a lot of money.

- Okay.

- What?

- I'll do it.

- You make joke, yes?

- I make joke, no
come on, let's go.

- What, now? Tonight?

- Yeah, I'm ready. And I'm
gonna be a great mommy.

You know as soon as I
get out of this place

and I get a house.

- Okay, wait!
- We need a four-bedroom house

so that my family can
come live with us.

- First maybe we talk. First
we talk. We talk. We talk.

- And I want a Volvo 'cause
they're really safe for kids.

- Of course. Oh, ow!

Yeah. Okay. Oh, no, no, no, no.

But first maybe we practice.

- What's there to practice, huh?

You're gonna take one of
those pre-natal classes?

Learn how to change
diapers and shit?

- You are such a
jokey girl, mami.

- Yeah. I'm a jokey girl.

And you are one weird dude.

- And I have money.
Lots and lots of money.

You know it's a good thing
you know how to fuck.

- Life, she is, how do you say?

Molto complicato. Si?

Yeah. Molto complicato.

- Already you begin
to learn Italian.

- 10!

This is my last trick.

Watch carefully. When I'm done,
I'll tell you how it works.

- I can't believe I
turned down Lance Burton

to work with you.

- So. I've been
doing these tricks.

These lies, for
so many years now.

It started as an easy
way to meet women.

To get laid.

To control the illusion.

Funny thing about
the women, though.

They always wanted me
to explain the tricks.

You know, that's totally
taboo for magicians.

You never give
away your secrets.

But I figured, I was sleeping
with them, so what the hell.

I did it. I'd give
away the tricks.

And I gotta tell you
something, every time,

every single time,

they would get this
look on their faces,

this look of disappointment.

'Cause you're not just
telling them the trick.

You're telling them there's
no such thing as magic.

No perfect romance to
sweep them off their feet.

After that, it was
just a matter of time.

They would leave me,
or I would leave them.

Usually it was mutual.

They could never get that
look of disappointment

off their faces.

So, now I want to find a life

that's not filled
with disappointment,

I don't care where,

just some place, authentic.

'Cause when you're in that zone,

and you're feeling authentic,

well, there's nothing
disappointing about it.

So this is my last trick.

Forever.

Voi-fucking-la.

Hope you enjoyed the show.

Right. Right. I was gonna
tell you how I did the trick.

Well guess what?

I lied.

- I just couldn't
stay with Richard,

he's just such a shitty painter.

And Tom, lawyers,
what can you say?

- Grace!
- Can you come down here?

- I'm coming!

There's Kelly, he's
a great businessman.

Very rich, very smart,
very successful.

Finally I gotta say, he's
just one shitty human being.

Mean, self-centered, no loyalty.

Short.

Too damn short for his own good.

Grace! Get
down here right away!

- I am coming!

What?

- Surprise!

Happy birthday!

- Oh.

- Oh come on.

- Open it!

Come on open it.

- Are these real?

- Yeah.

- Wow! You shouldn't have.

I haven't had a pearl
necklace in quite some time.

- Hi.

Hello.

Happy birthday.

- Oh, thank you.

Get back to work up there.

- Good night.

- Happy birthday.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

- What are you doing here?

- It's your birthday and I
got you a little something.

Nice wrapping.

Okay.

Our high school yearbook?

- Give it back, I'll get
you something different.

- No, no.
- Come now, no really.

- I want it.

Why?

- Well, I was trying to think,

what could I possibly get you
that you don't already have?

You know, me on a cop's
salary and you on yours.

- There's Jeff McEwen.

- And then I remembered

that you left school two weeks

before they gave the
yearbooks out, so, tadada.

- Bill Nowicki's right here.

- Yeah, I hear he's up
in Canada selling cars.

- Oh, Tammy Paul. I liked her.

- Oh, I hear that she died
actually, car accident.

- Oh.

Alex Racine. He was a nice guy.

- He's gone too.

- Oh, gee Keith, this
is a really great gift.

- They're mostly still
alive, you just have to...

- Okay.

Oh, there she is, Miranda
Scanlon. How's she doing?

- Fine. Fine. Fine. Fine.

- And the kids?

- Almost out of the house.

- Well if she's there, then
I bet you are right here.

No, let me see.

You were really cute.

Didn't we go out once?

- To the Senior Prom.

- We did?

- Gracie, you invited me.

- Oh yeah.

That was fun.

You were nervous.

- It was my first time, y'know.

- I don't believe that.

- You couldn't tell?

- Whoo! You must've thought
I was some kind of slut,

sleeping with you
on the first date.

- No I'd say I had a bit of
a crush on you for a while.

- You never told me that!

- I was too shy.

You were this
really popular girl

and I was just this nerdy kid.

Lemme show you something here.

Voted "Most Beautiful."

- Wow!

How long'd you have
a crush on me for?

- For a while.

- A while?

Bet you never got over me.

- I never did.

- I'm sorry.

- Hey, there's nothing
to be sorry about.

- It's my birthday.

- Yes. Many happy returns.

- I wanna show you
something. Upstairs.

- What?

What do you gonna show me?

- Just relax, just
the music room.

- Wait, wait, wait.

What we gonna do?

- You ever give yourself
a really great gift?

- Yeah.

- Like what?

- Just last month, I got myself
a new pair of hiking boots.

- No, I mean, a
really great gift.

- You know, Miranda's
probably wondering

where I am about now.

- It's just this yearbook.

It's like we're psychically
linked or something.

Tonight it's so...

- You think so?

- I just don't know
how I missed you.

- You what?

- Missed. That you
were thinking about me.

Come here, let's go.

- Gracie.
- No.

- Gracie, it's just.

- No, come on.

- Wait a minute.

- This is my private room.

- Wow.
- So,

did you ever fantasize about me?

Well, no, not in that way.

- What way then?

Well, y'know, I would see you
around town, or at the store.

Or up here, and I'd just wonder.

- What would you wonder?

- What it would've
been like for us.

Just, stuff.

- Like, sex?

- No, more like, uh,
marriage, and kids and stuff.

- Marriage?

- Well yeah.

- I've got to be
honest with you, Keith.

I'm not the marrying type.

- But I bet you
could learn to be.

- I don't think so.

Never been able to spend
more than a couple months

with a guy.

I'm not that patient.

- Yeah, but you could be,
if you had the right guy.

- Oh, Keith.

Keith.

- What?

- I had this plan tonight,
I even took these drugs.

- Nothing illegal I hope.

- No. Fertility drugs.

- To have a baby?

- Yeah.

To have a baby of my own.

I made an appointment,
with this old flame.

I had this list of all
the men in my past,

trying to find, you know,
the right genes, for my baby.

- And they're coming
over here tonight?

- No. No. He couldn't make it.

Guess I forgot to check
on his dependability gene.

You have such sweet eyes.

- Do I?

Well, thank you.

- I had forgotten about you.

I was making these
charts comparing IQ's

and bank accounts and
the size of a guy's nose.

And I think all I really
need for my baby is.

- Is what?

- Sweet-eyed kindness.

You could give that to me.

I just want someone
to pass it onto.

Otherwise, it just
disappears when we do.

- I can't do this.

- Don't, why not?

Why not?

There are men here every night,
doing things with my girls,

married men, they don't
think twice about it.

- That's them, it's not me.

And this is different.

This is really different.

- You'd never have to see us.

No one would know.

- I would know.

- Our baby would have your eyes.

- No, your eyes.

- Okay, my eyes. And
your strong hands.

Your goodness.

And my business sense.

- You are good at business.

- And you were smart at school,

so we'd have a strong,
smart, successful kid

with your hands and my eyes.

- This is getting
very complicated.

- No, no, baby. It's
simple. It's real simple.

'Cause I'm ready.

And you're ready.

And I want you.

- Miranda...

Miranda's...

Miranda's probably wondering
where I am about now.

- Yeah. Sure.

Give her my best.

- I don't think that she would
appreciate me visiting you.

- Don't give her my best then.

It'll be our secret,
it's sexier that way.

Keith.

I'm sorry.

Now I feel like
shit for nothing.

- Hey.

I forgot you have brown eyes.

Such beautiful,
beautiful brown eyes.

- Oh fuck.

I enjoyed your show tonight.

- Good for you.

- Now is that any
way to treat a fan?

- You don't exactly
look like a fan.

- What's a fan look like?

- I dunno, let's just say
you look too sophisticated.

So what are you doing down here?

- I'm in town for a couple
days for a convention.

- Oh, I heard, a high
tech thing, right?

Well, you don't look
like a computer geek.

- That's the second nicest
thing you've said to me.

- Well you don't. What are
you? Like a programmer?

- I'm, like, a CEO.

- You have any openings?

I'm looking for a new career.

- For someone with
your people skills?

I'm sure we can
find you something.

- Sorry. You caught
me at a weird time.

Hey, did you know that the
origin of the word career

is actually of a journey?

A road.

The road we travel.

- Construction ahead.

Why don't you take a vacation?

- Yeah. I'd last about
two days alone on a beach.

- I managed four days once.

Can't be alone.

And I can't be with someone.

It's terrible.

So are you gonna miss it?

- No.

You know I counted them tonight.

The tricks.

This one, I never
have to do again.

I'm done with the rings,
done with the ropes,

done with the doves.

No offense, Ralph.

Finito all card tricks.

- I think it's brave of
you to quit like that.

- We'll see how brave
I am in two months.

Is that why you stayed?
To tell me that?

- Partly. It's just,
you ever hear that joke?

What joke?

- You know.

Who do you have to fuck to
get out of the business?

- What business?

- Any business.

- Okay, is there a
punchline to this joke?

- No. That is the joke.

Who do you have to,
you know, to get...

- To get out, who do you
have to fuck to get out, oh.

- Yeah.

- That's funny.

Could have used that one
in my routine tonight.

- Well, tonight you answered
that question for me.

- I did?

- Yeah.

The answer is, no one.

You don't need to fuck anyone

to do what you know
you need to do.

- Glad to see I could help.

- So where are you going?

- I dunno, New York maybe.

- No, I mean, where are
you going right now?

- You want to get a
drink or something?

- I wanna get dinner.

- You buying?

- How 'bout we go dutch?

What's your name?

- Can't you read? It's
Magno the Magnificent.

Or Jack.

What's your name?
- Nancy.

- When I was a kid, I used to
have a crush on Nancy Drew.

- Hope I can live up
to your expectations.

You forget, I
am done with mystery.

And I have absolutely
no expectations.

As of tonight, I am a
blank slate. A tabula rasa.

- In that case, Jack, let's go.

I am starving.

- Don't get ahead of yourself.

- Right. Just dinner.

It's in case you get cold.

My God.

- What?

- What if it's a boy?

- That's it, come
on in, have a seat.

Where's the fucking chair,
get her a chair, goddammit!

That stupid bitch
moved the chair.

Somebody ought to nail
the fucking thing down!

Why don't you make yourself
useful and get me a cappuccino!

Make sure it's hot, the
last one, fucking cold.

Hot!

Yes!

Your agent sent me your resume.

Where's the fucking resume?

You're very beautiful.

You must get a lot of
compliments around this town.

Lots of attention.
How tall are you?

Now with heels on, you're
quite, well, quite statuesque.

Of course, you know this
could be a slight problem

with our star.

He's a bit, well, short.

Practically a dwarf
in comparison to you.

On the other hand,

the scene is mostly of a
lying down nature, isn't it?

We'll just put a pin in the
whole, height issue, shall we?

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Beautiful dress you have on.

Very elegant. Shows off
your legs quite nicely.

Is that your own hair?

I hope you don't mind my asking,

just these days with extensions,
you can't really tell.

Hello?

Mother?

Yes.

Listen, can I call you back?

I'm in the middle
of working, mother.

I'll call you back, yes, yeah.

Yeah, yes, love
you too... Good-bye.

Well, let's have
you read, shall we?

- How far do you
wanna take this?

- Excuse me?

- The director thing.

That's cool, very cool.

Mr. Director, oh, I really,
really want this role.

- You are an
actress, aren't you?

- You did call
Grace, didn't you?

- Grace is your, uh... manager?

- Oh, I am really, really sorry.

There's no charge.
There'll be no charge.

- Actually, you really could be.

- Yes?

- Do you have any
problem with nudity?

- No problem.

No problem.

No problem here.

Oh, that'll cost you extra.

No problem.

I can handle it.

- Well, um, we could
meet up over there?

Say, after the day's
over, at my place,

learn a bit more about the role.

And you, I mean,

you really are quite
right for the part,

I just really would
need to read you.

I mean have you read something
