Shake your head.

You're not making any noise.

Louder, folks.

T, T.

So right here.

Right here, right here.

Eyes here, big eyes.

Good.

That's exactly right. Oh, shit, this is
good.

Okay, make kidding noise.

Noise, noise.

Good.

Now start crawling.

Now look at me, Suzette.

Excellent.

Nice. Oh, shit. Nice.

Okay, great.

Nice. Keep going.

Excellent. Excellent angle there.

Okay, grab her.

Oh, shit. This is excellent.

Good. Grab the chain.

Ooh, that's...

That's just absolutely fabulous.

Okay. Now, get on her, and we'll do it.
You ready?

Good, good.

And arch up, and bring in the fan.

Fan.

Paul, fan.

Good.

Perfect. Shit. Okay, that's the roll.
One more roll here.

Don't move. Close your eyes.

Just hold it. Now, don't lose this move.
This is absolutely perfect.

Where's the film? I think it was the
last one.

What do you mean that was the last one?

How many did you roll up?

Well, I've been making prints since I
got here. Oh, shit. We need... Film that

print.

Okay, that's it.

Oh, shit.

I'm sorry. I can roll you another one
quick.

The mood is gone.

The models are in the dressing room.

The shoot is over.

When I'm shooting, I've got to have
film.

Very important.

I don't know what to do.

Paul will get you a drink.

Go in the dressing room.

What's he got to drink?

Engleduck.

That's terrible.

Why doesn't he get anything with
drinking?

I don't know.

Michael.

Yeah, just a sec. It's your wife.

Oh, tell her I'm not here.

I'd really rather not lie to her.

Well, I'll make it easy on you.

I'm gone already. Come on, we're going
to the VC. Would you like to go?

I'd love to, Evelyn.

Of course.

Lock up.

Goodbye.

Hello?

I guess he's not here.

You're still here.

Yeah, I'm running a little late.

Well, I thought you'd be gone by now for
sure.

Well,

I'm just leaving.

Excuse me.

It's cold today, isn't it?

You're going to love the light here.

Interesting fireplace, isn't it?

It certainly is.

Excuse me.

It really is very nice.

Why don't we start upstairs with the
master bedroom?

You're going to love the view from up
there.

I finished up those prints and your wife
caught them.

I thought you were Michael.

I mean, I heard the music and Michael
was back.

I thought Michael was in the dark.

No, he left about 3 .30.

Just my luck.

Well, no great loss, I suppose.

Was he coming back, Tina?

Well, he said something about being by
later, but I don't know when.

You don't mind if I hang around, do you?

No.

I've been on my feet all day. It would
be nice just to sit down for a while.

Well, I guess I better get back to my
trip.

You look a little tired. Would you like
a drink, too?

I really think I ought to get back to my
work. Oh, come on.

Just one.

Besides, I don't like to drink alone.

Sit down. Relax.

So you've been working for Michael for
what? About a month now?

Yeah, about that.

How do you like it?

Just between us?

It's all right, I guess.

Oh, cute.

Motor day?

Looks like Michael's been getting rather
kinky.

Were you here for this session?

No.

How

about

this one?

No.

This one?

Wow, standard operating procedure.

So, what have you been up to?

Oh, not much of anything right now.

Well, I guess that can be real relaxing.

I guess I better get back to work. It's
been nice seeing you.

You don't mind if I watch, do you?

Well, it's not very exciting.

You'd probably be bored to death.

Not with such fascinating subject
matter.

Come on, cut it out.

I need that stuff to clean my negative.

Give it back.

Please.

Please.

Thank you.

What are you doing tonight?

Tonight?

Michael.

Yeah. Yeah, I got all the prints done.

It'll be about another 30 minutes.

No, she hasn't been by as far as I know.

But I've been in here for about two
hours.

Alright, sure.

Okay.

He's on his way over.

You never answered my question.

What am I doing tonight?

Well, after here, I'm going home.

Would you like to meet me for a drink?

At the Hilton?

I don't think that would be a very good
idea.

You know, Michael and I have what you
might call a flexible marriage.

So I've heard, but...

I guess I'm just not that flexible.

No, I guess you're not.

Well, I better be going.

Can I open the door now?

It's safe.

Hi, my name is Lisa Welch.

I live in the building.

And I'm telling you that delicious
chocolate mints for a ski trip to

Guess I was wondering if you wanted to
buy them.

How much are they?

Three bucks a box.

Three bucks a box?

Yeah.

Are they really delicious?

Really delicious.

All right, I'll get three boxes.

Three boxes.

Really? Really.

Well, that'll be $9.

If I don't have $9, will you take a visa
or a master charge?

The management accepts only cash.

Sorry.

Why don't? I got six.

I'll go in and get the rest. You can
come in and wait if you want.

Looks like I got to go upstairs. I'll
check my dresser.

You kind of like to spy on people with
your camera, huh?

Well, it's not exactly spying. I was
trying out a new lens.

It isn't exactly asking my permission,
is it?

No.

Well, I like it anyway.

Can I have a print?

Sure, if you want.

I do.

Okay.

Thanks.

Well, here are your chocolates.

And here's your money.

Thanks.

Night. Night.

What was your name?

Paul. Paul.

I'm... I told you already.

Night night

Everyone who comes in.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What are you looking at?

Excuse me.

Hi. Oh, hi.

I was wondering if you could do me a big
favor.

What?

I'm Sebastian.

I need a ride to school.

How far is it? Not too far, but I'll be
real late if I walk.

Okay. Great.

So what year do you think I am?

Year? Yeah, well, oh yeah, we're
supposed to pick a year for school and

dressed as someone from that time period
and talk about it and all that crap,

you know.

Oh, I get it.

Uh... 1968.

That's real close.

Actually, it's 69.

I wanted to do the last year of the 60s.

That sounds like a good idea.

It's my mom's skirt.

Do you like it?

Yeah. She wore it in high school and got
sent home. Can you believe that?

Uh -huh.

The light's green, you know.

You better hurry.

Don't worry, we'll make it.

I'm going to be late for history now.

I'm sorry.

It's not your fault.

But if I go now, I'll get another
detention.

You want me to take you home?

You know what we could do?

What? We could go to the beach.

What time do you have to be at work?

Well, not till 2 .30, but that's a long
drive.

By the time we got there, we'd have to
come back.

Well...

It's worth it, isn't it? Besides, we
could go faster. We could speed.

Speed? Sure, why not?

Merci, Sinatra.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Nice. I love it here. I wish we could
stay for it.

Well, I hate to ruin your good time, but
we've got to get going back.

Don't you love it here?

It's beautiful.

Why don't we stay a little longer?

Because I'm one of the lucky few who are
employed, and I'd like to keep it that

way. I'd be at work by 2 .30.

Well, you could always call in sick,
couldn't you?

But I'm not sick.

Well, call in sick.

I'm having a nice time at the beach
today and I won't be in, thank you.

No good. Not a good idea.

Spoilsport.

What's that?

What? Over there.

on the front of ships.

A maidenhead.

No, not maidenheads. Okay, a woman in
front of a ship. Come on, let's get

I'll be late for work.

Wait.

Didn't you hear that fairy tale about
the woman on the front of ships? Wait.

There was this woman.

She fell in love with a sailor and she,
like, did him wrong or something. So

this witch turned into one of those
women on the front of ships.

She had to spend the rest of her life
looking out to sea.

That's tragic. Come on, let's go.

I don't want to.

I'll lose my job.

Well, we're already late. Let's just
stay.

Lisa, I'm leaving.

Come on.

Well, go ahead then.

How are you going to get back?

I can always get a ride.

Okay, fine.

Fine.

I'm Michael. Yes, Paul.

I'm sorry, I'm at the coat.

My car busted. They think it might be
the fuel pump.

I can't help it. It's not my fault.

How'd it go?

He's pissed.

Well, you can forget about it then, Mom.

I don't like lying to him.

Well, you could do penance by buying me
lunch.

Where'd you get that?

Someone bought it for him.

Great. I'll get down quick before
somebody sees me.

Did you get it?

Got something.

You take a lot of pictures, don't you?

Yeah, I guess so.

Is that what you do for a living?

Well, not exactly. I work for this
fashion photographer.

It's out of his life's form that I
develop this film.

I sweep his floor so his models don't
get their little feces dirty.

I guess I'm sort of a glorified janitor.

You know the slides at your house?

Yeah.

Well, I thought they were pretty good,
you know?

They did?

You could probably sell them for
magazines or something.

I don't know. It's a pretty tough market
out there.

Nowadays, everybody thinks they're a
photographer.

What was this for?

It was an old board.

Used a gun in placement.

Do you have pictures of people very
much, do you?

No, not very much.

Why not?

I don't know. People are too
unpredictable, I guess.

So?

Excuse me.

So, I... I just never really got into
that kind of photography.

You did my picture.

That was from a distance.

Would that make it easier moving your
telescopic lens?

Telephoto? Whatever.

Have you been doing this guy a lot?

I suppose so. I don't really remember
when I started.

There must have been a first time.

One picture that was different.

I can't remember. Well, maybe in high
school sometime.

You must remember something.

What?

Well, there was a first time.

Really? When?

1959.

1959?

How old were you?

Eight.

It was Halloween.

And at school, we all had to get dressed
up in these Halloween costumes.

Did you ever have to do that?

Mm -hmm.

Well, once I was a fairy princess, but
my wings got stuck in the car and it was

all over the place.

Anyway, I didn't feel like wearing a
costume, so I took our brownie

camera and I put it on, and I said that
I was man with a camera.

What's that?

I'm sorry, it's a TV show we had back
then.

I got to the school and the teacher says
to me, Paul, where's your costume?

I said, I'm mad with the camera.

She goes, no, Paul, you have to have a
costume.

So the teacher and the rest of the
class, they got these newspapers and

stapled it to my arms and stapled it to
my legs.

Oh, God, it was awful. I felt so
ridiculous.

And then we had to go out to the
playground and parade around in these

I took my camera and I started taking
pictures of all the kids in their silly

costumes.

And the last picture on the roll was of
a girl I had a mad crush on.

Too close to the lens and out of focus.

And whatever happened to those pictures?

Anyway, to answer your question, I've
been doing this about 22 years.

That's a long time.

Video.

Lisa!

Hey, look.

There's a ship.

Where?

Within our own crew.

Yeah.

It's a really dangerous bar.

Ships crack up there all the time.

I'm going to pick a lot of coke.

A lot of rum.

I think we got a live one this time.

Yeah? Remember that couple from San
Francisco with the baby?

No, not really.

Well, they made an offer. Get this. $63
,500. Can you believe it?

They simply fell in love with the house.

And that's $65 ,000.

Well, that's only $1 ,500 less than your
original offer.

I know, but I was kind of counting on
$65 ,000.

Oh, let's be honest.

You've had this house on the market for
over a year now.

I have faith in you.

I'll tell you what.

We'll make a counter -offer.

$500 more. We'll try.

Betsy, I'm sorry. I realize how hard
you've been working for me.

I don't want to seem like a hard -nosed,
but I really would like to have $65.

Are you rejecting this offer?

Yes. What is it?

It simply states that you have
considered the 635 and you're formally

it.

Are you sure?

Yes, I'm sure.

Here.

Paul, I won't turn this into a tomorrow.

Okay. You change your mind, call me.

I will.

Here it is.

It's a little star.

Isn't it?

Yeah, we need a lot of space.

This is Mike's new site. Don't go out
any further than that, or it's my ass.

Okay.

Over here, we've got our makeup room.

He's got a changing room.

Come on, show them, please.

And over here, this is our makeup room.

Can I?

Please.

Yeah, they use a lot of stiff.

Well, I got about a half hour's work to
do in the darkroom.

If you'll excuse me.

Okay.

Okay, there's a bunch of magazines and
stuff in the can if you want.

Open something.

Oh. What?

Be sure you don't open this door.

Okay.

Lisa? Lisa, you're in here, aren't you?

Aren't you coming in?

Well, what about your mother?

She won't be home till late.

She's at the bathroom. Come on.

Thanks.

So, your mother's an actress?

She thinks so.

You want to see my album?

Sure.

It's in my room.

Are you sure you want to go through with
this?

I've braced myself.

Is that your mom?

Yeah, that's my mother.

Don't look too hard, she might put an
evil eye on you.

How old were you when this one was
taken?

Eleven.

A school photographer took it.

And I think it's pretty good considering
he probably took pictures of 500 kids

that day.

It is.

Do you notice anything different about
her?

Her? Me.

I don't know.

Something in the eyes.

I was in love with a boy when it was
taken.

Really? Mm -hmm.

Who? He was in my class.

His name was Grant Huntington.

We used to take these long winter walks.

We would walk and walk and walk till our
noses turned bright red.

And then we'd go to his house.

You never laid a hand on me, though.

Did you want him to?

He was only 11.

Yeah, I guess that is pretty young.

Maybe I wanted him to.

I know I wanted him to kiss me.

Well, how old were you when you had your
first romantic burst?

I think I was 12.

Yeah.

Did she take longer to walk?

No.

But she tried to kiss me.

Yeah? But I got away.

Didn't she want to kiss you?

I don't know. I think I was just scared.

So what happened?

Well...

Went on this two -week vacation with my
parents And for my birthday they

gave me this brownie Fiesta camera When
I came back

I Guess I wanted to take a picture
because I went to her house to see her

She wasn't home So

I went to one of these public swimming
pools

And there she was, rubbing the shoulders
of some lifeguard.

I took her picture and I swore I was
going to tell her parents.

Did you?

No.

I ran out of film.

You know... You have, um...

very elegant hands for men.

I do?

With your palms.

You don't have a very long lifeline.

So I've been told.

You know...

I remember that day of the coast.

It was very wet.

And your hair kept coming down and
clinging to your forehead.

And two little prints.

Hey.

Got 30 bucks?

No.

What's the matter? Don't you like girls?

Fuck, I had to leave.

No, I don't. I don't use it.

I don't use this stuff. Please leave me
alone.

What's this shit?

Thank you.

What are you doing?

I got locked out.

Got locked out.

You want to come in?

Okay.

What?

I didn't really get locked out.

I really wanted to come over, but I felt
weird about it.

You know what I mean?

Yeah, I think I do.

I came over before, but you went in.

Yes, I was.

Why didn't you answer?

Well, because... I didn't think I could
face you.

I'm really sorry about what happened. I
didn't mean... What's to be sorry for?

It's not like you raped me.

I wanted to.

So I shouldn't have done it.

Why not?

Well,

because...

Because you're just not really
emotionally mature enough.

And you are?

Paul, I don't say this to hurt you.

You're not the first man I've slept
with.

The other night when we made love, I had
this moment when I felt I knew you

better.

And you know yourself.

It was like you said, you lost control.

And in that moment, it was like this
shield

sprang apart in you.

And I could see straight through to your
soul.

Really?

What could you see?

How terribly hurt you are inside.

Like a beautiful doll.

You can shake it, and then all your
broken pieces rattle around inside.

How very poetic.

Do you go out with anyone?

No.

Well, why not?

I don't know.

It's just, I guess, it's too
complicated.

Somehow I thought you were going to tell
me that you had a wife and kids.

Why did I think that?

You're not too far off.

Are you married?

No.

But I have a daughter.

I do.

Where is she?

I don't know.

You never see her?

I saw a picture of her once after she
was born.

But she was adopted right away.

How old were you?

17.

How old was the mother?

15.

It's hard to get an abortion in those
days.

What's the matter?
