Original subtitles

You know, they monitor that stuff upstairs sometimes, so you may not want

caught.

Um, I was just curious.

Yeah.

Okay, well, look, it's logging off time anyway. You know, Friday night and all.

Go enjoy the weekend.

Uh, yeah. Got your jacket.

Let me do it for you. It's okay.

You have any big plans or anything?

Um, no, um, not really.

Um, you know that movie I was telling you about?

It's playing over at the Campus Cinema, and, uh, you know, you said you might

like to go.

I did?

Yes, do you want to grab some pizza and go?

Um, actually, no, Amy, I'm kind of busy tonight.

You just said you didn't have any plans.

Well, I'll go.

Hi, Brad.

Um, Brad will go. He likes movies.

Jesus, man, she's serving it up to you on her own platter.

I just remembered I have this library science seminar I have to go to, but

see you guys later.

Okay.

Bye, Amy.

See you, Brian.

Hi, how you doing?

Fine.

Great. What can I do for you today?

I'd like a massage.

Well, you've certainly come to the right place.

You can get a half -hour Swedish for $59 .50. That includes deep tissue vibrator

therapy. Two girls, deluxe shiatsu massage. That's very relaxing.

$125. That's $160. Super deluxe shiatsu. So worth it.

I'm sorry.

Could you go over that again?

Here. This will make it easier. It just details everything that we offer, okay?

Have you decided?

Pardon me?

Have you decided on what you want?

Um, actually, I'll take the special.

Okay, the deluxe for $125?

Um, no, the cheaper one.

Oh, the one -hour Swedish for $95, right?

Yeah. Okay.

One one -hour Swedish.

Did you want the vibrator therapy with that? It's only $20 extra, but it's so

relaxing. Um... I thought that was included.

Oh, I thought you wanted the special one hour.

Look, you look like you've had a really rough day. You look really tense. Why

don't you just go for it? It'll relax you.

You'll be glad you did.

Okay. Great.

Now, any heart problems?

Heart problems? Yeah, I have to fill out a brief medical history.

No heart problems.

Respiratory problems?

No. High blood pressure?

No. FTDs?

FTDs. Sexually transmitted diseases?

No. Okay, great.

That's $115.

Will that be cash, credit, or debit? Cash, please. Okay, $115.

That's $115.

It certainly is. Thank you very much.

Um... Yep?

Do you do massage?

No, sweetie, I'm sorry. I'm just a receptionist, but I'm about to call your

masseuse, okay?

Thanks.

Barbara, you have a client in the lobby.

Barbara?

She'll be right.

You can get undressed now if you'd like.

Okay.

Would you like to take a shower?

No, I already took one, thank you.

Great.

Well, if you're shy, you can get undressed behind that screen.

First time here?

Yeah.

You nervous?

No.

No.

There's no reason to be nervous.

You okay back there?

Okay, just hop up on the table.

It's a big box.

Oh, you know what? Can you leave those on, please?

Yeah.

Sure.

Thank you.

You're really tense.

You need to try to relax.

Take a deep breath.

I don't think I know how to relax.

Beautiful breath.

Be nice now.

Look, that just makes me a little uncomfortable.

I'm sorry, I just... You're really soft.

And... I just want to touch you.

Look, I know.

You know, we could get in a lot of trouble.

You a cop?

No.

Okay, turn over.

Could you do me a favor?

What?

Could you shave me?

Probably done it a lot, huh?

Nope.

So tell me, why do you want me to do this?

Oh, it's something I wanted to do for a while.

I thought it'd make me feel sexy.

You ever do it?

What, shave down there?

Once.

I'd love to be shaved.

I bet you would.

Can I tell you a secret?

Sure, I love secrets.

I'm a virgin.

You're sitting me.

Truly a virgin.

Alright.

There you go.

Smooth as baby.

Can you do me another favor?

It all depends.

Can you jerk me off?

There's usually a tip involved.

Okay. How much?

$30 or $40 usually.

Okay.

No. Not my lips.

Try

not to

touch with your tongue, okay?

I'm good at that

Here's for you.

So, what's your name?

Jim. Jim Mitchell.

Well, Jim, you can come back any time.

Great.

Just ask for me and Barbara.

Thanks, Barbara.

It never ends, doesn't it? Day after day, load after load of the same boring

shit and never -ending stream.

Who reads this crap, anyway?

Smart people do, Brad.

Of course, you may not know anything about that.

How are you guys doing?

Fine,

I guess, in my own dumb little way.

Oh, um, I've already entered these, so they just need to be labeled.

Jim, how was your weekend?

Uh, fine, I guess.

Did you do anything exciting?

Exciting?

Uh, not really.

Uh, you know that movie that we talked about?

Um, I actually went to see it. It was, uh, pretty good.

It's too bad that you missed it.

Here, I'll fire those for you.

Two seconds, thanks.

Jim, uh, can I ask you something?

Sure.

avoided me? I mean, if you have a problem with me or something, just tell

I'll leave you alone.

I don't have a problem.

Hey, well, what's the matter?

Nothing's the matter, Amy. I like you.

Really? Okay.

Look,

I think you're afraid of me.

Um,

I... I'm sorry. I'm sorry?

I didn't mean to do that.

You didn't mean to what? To touch me? To turn me on?

I'm sorry, Barbara's with another customer right now. It's her last bit of

day. We have Charisse available now, or Becca will be available in 15 minutes.

Okay, I don't want Charisse or Becca.

Can't you see Barbara?

Well, I'm sorry, but you'll have to come back another time.

How about I wait?

I won't do you any good.

She's off at eight and she never stays over.

Okay, well, how about you call Barbara and let her know that Jim's here?

Well, I can't interrupt the session, but I'll tell her when she's free, okay?

I guess I'll wait.

You're tech ready?

Oh, um, there's a guy here waiting for you.

Hi, I've been waiting for you.

It is an unbearable wonder.

How are you?

I came to see you.

You're a little late.

Try Sharif. She's really great.

Guys love her.

Um, I didn't come here to see Sharif.

I'm sorry.

I came to see you.

All right.

Donna, is that 9 o 'clock still open?

I think so.

I'm going to do one more.

Okay.

So...

You like working here?

Yeah, it's okay.

Get a lot of old guys.

A lot of young ones, too.

So do they all ask for something extra?

Oh, yeah.

Well, do they?

All the questions.

I don't think I know much about these places.

The answer is yes.

Most of them want more than massages.

Do you give it to them?

Okay, it's my turn.

Any more perverse little secrets in your library?

I do something that's kind of weird.

Kind of weird?

You might think it's strange.

Well, this defense is killing me. Come on.

I like to tie myself up.

Spread eagle on my bed.

How do you do that? I mean, nobody can tie themselves up.

You've got to have somebody help you.

No, I do it.

It's not easy, but I can do it.

I guess we're all weird in our own little way.

It's just... What?

I guess I just think it's sad.

You're used to being alone.

That's all you know.

Will you help me?

You know, if I helped every lonely guy that came in here, I'd never leave.

I'm not asking you to help every lonely guy.

I'm just asking you to help me.

I don't know what you want me to do.

I mean, I give handjobs here and there, and that's only to the guys that I like.

You can help me.

I know you can.

Please.

Can you take your top off?

Are you sure you don't have any girlfriends?

No.

You do that really well.

Stop.

You know, there's something I always wanted to do, but I can't do it myself.

What?

Can you give me a blowjob?

That's a little too personal. I'm sorry.

Please.

No.

I'll pay you.

No.

Fifty dollars.

No. A hundred.

That's all I've got.

Please.

Please. Okay, but you can't tell anybody about this, okay?

I wouldn't.

Between you and me.

Okay. Promise?

hmm hmm

Oh,

God.

what you wanted.

Is this all the money you've got?

Oh, um, yeah, it's okay. I can pay it in a couple days.

Crying out loud here.

No. Take it.

Um, would it be possible that I could maybe see you someplace outside of here?

No, I can't do that.

Sorry.

I'd pay you.

I'll make it worth your while.

You would?

Remember, this is business. That's all it is.

I mean, I like you, and that's the only reason why I'm doing it. You understand?

I like you, too.

You like me because I'm the only girl that's done this stuff with you, that's

all.

No.

There's more than that. There's nothing more than that.

Nothing. You need to understand that.

I appreciate the thought, but...

Is this your home number?

No, that's my worst number. I'm not home very often.

Except when you tie yourself up, right?

Yeah, and then I can't get to the phone.

Okay, I'll call you next week.

When you get paid, you're going to pay me in cash, right?

Absolutely.

And this is just between you and I.

Yeah, okay.

See you later.

Hey, what's your name?

No, I know your first name's Barbara, but what's your last name?

Jim, no last names. Let's keep it simple.

Simple's better.

Okay.

Simple's good.

We'll see you later.

Are you going to tell me what the hell yesterday was all about?

What are you talking about, Amy? You know what I'm talking about.

What the hell am I supposed to think?

I really apologize.

I was a little aggressive.

Oh, God, you're dense. You should be apologizing for stopping.

Do you know what I mean?

This is Jim.

Hi, Barbara.

I was wondering when you were going to...

Hi, Barbara.

This isn't

so bad.

You expected something bad?

Well, most guys that live alone, it's pretty messy.

I like it clean.

You like to read?

Yeah, I like to read.

I got some good books there.

Do you like to read?

I have time.

Can I get you something to drink?

Yeah, what do you have?

Um, I've got, um, mineral water, orange juice,

um, rice milk.

Do you have any wine or vodka?

Um, I don't drink.

Or smoke?

No, I don't smoke either.

I'm, um, I'm allergic to smoke.

Of course you are.

Um, so, um...

Do you have a boyfriend or a husband?

Jim, let's keep it simple.

It's better like that.

So, is it the field of battle?

Um, no, I have something else on mind for tonight.

Like what?

I'd want to be okay if I tied you up.

I wouldn't do it unless you wanted me to.

Okay.

No rough stuff, though, okay?

No. I mean, I would never even think, no.

Okay.

Why don't we discuss money?

Like $100, is that okay?

How about $200?

That doesn't leave me much for the week.

About 150, then.

150 will work.

That's great.

Okay.

Want to get undressed?

Um, no. Actually, I'd like to go somewhere else, not in my bedroom.

All right.

Like what?

Um, watch your step. So, this is my little shed.

What's all this stuff about?

Well, most of this is stuff. I buy a lot of stuff off the Internet.

It's kind of cool. Like, this is a whip.

Well, it's not really a whip. It just makes a lot of noise. So when you snap

Whoa, okay.

Yeah, it's kind of loud.

That could put an eye out.

The pet leather.

That's pretty.

Yeah, it's kind of nice.

And it doesn't hurt that much. Oh, should I put my pants down? Yeah, if you

want.

Just don't do it too high.

That's a neat tattoo.

That hurt?

No. How about this?

Okay, yeah.

I'm sorry. Okay.

Aren't you supposed to, like, yeah, rub it a little? There.

That's nice.

Um, are you sure you want to do this, Barbara?

Yeah. Hey, no, nothing's too tight, is there?

No, it's fine.

I don't want to hurt you.

I got the

thing for your mouth.

Want to open your mouth a little?

Is that okay?

Want me to spread out a little?

Can you spread your legs a little bit?

Really nice boobs.

Look at that.

I'm going to take it that way.

Okay, man.

Okay.

Not that hard.

Spread your

legs.

Spread them.

Ah.

Did I do something wrong?

No. You may tell.

Are you sure?

Yes, Jim.

I'm positive.

You're not real happy with me, so whatever I did, I'm sorry.

I shouldn't blame you.

You'll be all right when you grow up.

What do you mean, grow up?

Just what I said.

Mentally.

Whatever. Sorry.

It's getting to you, isn't it?

I guess so.

You know, we have the most boring jobs in the history of man.

You know it, I know it. I think we've died and gone to hell.

I'm beginning to think so, too.

It's even worse now.

Amy's gone.

Amy's gone?

I thought she just took a couple days off.

No, they moved her upstairs. Some forward desk position.

I see.

She wanted to be moved.

Um, do you know why?

Probably got sick of it down here.

Boring work.

Boring guys.

You know.

Oh, come on now.

You're boring, but not that boring.

Amy, your son will bring you down here.

There's new cataloging.

Hi, Jim.

Hi, Amy.

You may want to get that.

Probably Barbara.

Hello, this is Jim.

So, how are things up there in the sunlight?

I like it. Thanks.

Hi. I was wondering when you'd call.

Yeah. Tonight would be great. Okay.

Hi, Barbara.

Wow, you look... No talking tonight, Jim.

You look great.

It's my surprise, remember?

Tonight you're going to be a fly on the wall.

Okay. Maybe see something you haven't seen before.

Remember when you say you could tie yourself up?

I know.

Where's your magic?

Oh, I use different rope, I know.

I'll try it, please.

Thank you.

Ah!

Oh.

Did you enjoy what you saw?

Yeah, it was great.

But seeing you happy kind of made me jealous.

Jim, simple.

Remember?

I need

$200 for tonight.

$200? Yeah.

I need to get to participate.

Hold on.

Here you go. Thank you.

Okay, I'll see you later. I'll call you.

Um, Barbara?

Can I see you?

You're seeing me.

No, not like this. Like, let's go on a date.

No.

Don't need me too much, Jim.

I can't help it.

Jim, get real.

Do you think that this is going to last forever?

Listen, you're a grown man.

You've got your life, and I've got mine.

I can't accept that.

Jim, you're going to have to accept that, okay?

It's the way it is.

Is Barbara there?

Yes, this is Jim calling again.

I'll wait.

Hi. Barbara?

I haven't heard from you.

Busy? Busy doing what?

Yeah, I've been waiting for your call.

Barbara, it's been a week and you told me you'd call.

I've called too much. But you know what, Barbara?

You don't tell someone you're going to call and let them sit there for a week.

Well, you'll do it soon, right?

Okay.

Thanks.

Is Barbara there?

Can you tell her it's Jim?

Jim Mitchell.

I'm sorry.

Can you have her call me when she gets in?

How do you know where I live?

I followed you.

You stupid son of a bitch. This is my home.

But I need to see you, Barbara.

Why do you have packing boxes?

Just go home.

But you told me to call, Barbara.

Jim, just go home, okay? I'll meet you there, I promise.

Fuck, did you come to my house?

You fucked everything up now. Do you understand that?

It's a mess.

I'm sorry. You're sorry?

Yeah, you certainly are.

This isn't about you anymore, Jim. When you came to my house, it became about

me. Did you see that baby I was holding?

That baby means everything to me.

Do you understand that?

I love that kid.

I've always wanted a baby, and now I've managed to adopt.

And you're not going to fuck that up for me.

I live for that little guy.

Then what? Why do you work where you do? What else can I do?

It's hard to keep my head above water.

Do you understand? Do you know how much it costs to adopt a child?

No. No, you don't. Well, it's a lot of money.

This is getting too complicated.

I'm way too dangerous.

Why'd you have to fuck everything up, Jim?

I didn't mean to.

I just needed to see you.

That's just it.

You're too attached.

That's not gonna work.

Yeah, it will work.

We just have to be more careful.

I told you not to need me so much, Jim.

No hurt.

Then why do I... It hurts so bad right now.

Welcome to the club.

What's the price of admission?

Life hurts.

I mean, you're a good looking guy.

You're not nearly as weird as you think you are.

Thanks.

You just need to realize that and you need to get out there.

Things could be really different for you.

And get hurt.

It's gonna hurt, but there'll be a lot of wonderful things, too.

Wonderful moments.

Like this.

This is great.

No.

Amen.

Um...

Oh no.

Ha ha.

I would have told you she quit on Wednesday.

What do you mean she quit? Come on. Jim.

Do you have a number on Barbara?

You know I can't get that information out.

Please. You know I can't do that.

It's against policy. I'm sorry. I can't do it.

Do you have a fucking phone number?

Look, maybe you can still catch her.

What do you mean still catch her?

She just left.

I thought you just told me she quit. She came in to pick up her check, all

right? When?

She just left before you got here. She's in the lot on 6th.

Who was that?

Nobody.

I'm sure he's just wanting to link us.

Are you sure about that? I'm sure.

Don't worry about it.

Okay.

I love you.

Let's go get dumped out.

Yeah. Yeah, I'm coming.
