Hey you know, I've

own, I thought maybe you

could help me out, you
know give me a couple

of pointers or something?

- Hey, baby what's happening?

- I changed my mind, forget it.

Come on, let's get out of here.

That's the last time
I'm wasting good money

in that dump.

I heard better music
in an elevator.

Ah, whadda you know.

Well, see ya around.

- Good night.

- You waiting for something?

- Do you want to go out

Hey?

Where'd you say you're from?

- Montana.

- Montana.

- This your van, man?

- Yeah.

- I'll give you 600 for it.

- I don't want to sell it.

- 650, cash.

- It's not for sale.

- 700 that's my final offer.

- Look, really I'm sorry,
but I don't want to sell it.

- I'll catch you later.

It's dangerous to park
around here, you know?

- Hi!

I would have rung your
buzzer but I didn't

know which one it was.

- Long time no see.

- It's Friday night.

- Yep.

- We have a date remember?

- Look don't you have
anything better to do

than follow me around?

- Well, no to tell
you the truth I don't

know anybody else in
New York except for you.

Did you have other plans
tonight or something?

- Yeah, I always got plans.

I'm doing this business thing,
you know like I told you.

I got some appointments it'd
be pretty hard to get out of.

- Well I thought maybe I
could take you out to dinner

or we could go out to
a movie or something.

- Okay.

- [Voiceover[ Karen, Karen,

You look so sleepy.

Yes, you are, aren't you?

You're in a deep sleep.

At last, the time is here,

it was been a long
waiting, but over now.

Time to invade the bodies of
these things called humans.

This specimen excites me.

Perfect subject.

Anonymous, a creature
that will never amount

to the faintest echo
of the tiniest whisper

in the thunder of time.

A blindingly ignorant
human female.

Feel no fear, breathe no breeze

don't be scared.

Stop! Stop you fool!

This creature and I
won't come together

again in a billion years.

- So what do you want to do now?

- Well, I got a van down
by the Westside Highway.

- You gotta van?

- Yeah, I told you
that before, remember?

- Oh yeah, right, I remember.

- Anyway, I thought maybe
we could go back down there,

I got some tapes
and a tape deck.

We could just sit around
and listen to music.

Maybe sit up, drink
a couple of beers.

Oh, I also got a
surprise for you.

- Where do you
think you're going Eric?

- I'm getting my cigarettes
here on the seat.

- You're not getting shit..

- Wanna bet?

- I don't care, take them.

What are you doing?

Give me back my purse.

Hey, give me that.

- Here's your purse,
get in the cab.

- You can't leave me
without any money!

Get her out of here!

- Eric I hate your
guts, I hate you!

I hate you!

- Hey come on, I
think I know that guy.

You know I got in a
fight on a bus once,

some jerk's giving
me a hard time,

you know lawyer type,
reading the New York Times,

and he kept inching his
shoulder closer to mine,

so I kept moving away but
all the time he's hiding

behind his paper like he's
minding his own business..

- Two more.

- So you know what I did?

I pretended like I was
lighting a cigarette and then

I reached over and I lit
his New York Times on fire.

Boy was he pissed.

So was the bus driver,
he kicked me off the bus.

I got a good laugh out of it,

I had to pay to get
on the bus anyway.

- You didn't really do that.

- Yeah I did.

It's no big deal.

- Hey, mon ami, you
having a good time?

No?

Okay, how about this?

16 bucks 24 carat gold,
what do you think?

- So who's that lady in the cab?

Your girlfriend or something?

What's so funny?

- Nothing.

- Come on, tell me.

- 500 bucks uptown I'm
not even going to tell you

what it's going to cost
you cause you're just

going to try it on
and if you like it

- Look, I told you,
I don't want a watch.

- You know that
girl a long time?

- Long enough to know
she makes me sick.

- How come she makes you sick?

- She talks too much.

- Try this deal here,

Silver with stone, you
can be Omar Sharif, right?

10 bucks,

- And I don't have
a girlfriend either.

- All right, sucker.

- Wren,

can I talk to you for a minute?

- Yeah, sure, what do you want?

- I mean in private.

- I'll be right back.

- Come on, Wren,
let's get out of here.

- What's wrong?

- Isn't that guy a
little bit weird.

- Everyone's a little bit
weird these days, it's normal.

- Wren, I just want
to get out of here.

- Aren't you having a good time?

- Who are you with tonight?

Are you with him or with me?

- Look, Paul, I'm telling
you this is business.

This guy used to play in a band,

it's a connection.

- A connection?

- Look, five minutes
then we'll go, okay?

Five minutes, I swear to God.

- Your friend isn't
enjoying himself too much.

- He's all right.

- I don't want to cause
a divorce or nothing.

- He's just a friend.

* We will try to understand

* That he's just a lonely man

* With a love like yours

* With a love like yours

* Yes, with a love like yours

* You're just a lonely girl

* Why did you have
to break his heart

* Why did you have
to pull it all apart

* Why did you have
to break his heart *

- Hey, you're going
to wake up the rats.

- Ow!

- Want a beer?

- Yeah.

- * When
somebody loves you

* It's no good
unless he loves you

* All the way

* Through the golden years

* And for all the
in between years

* Come what may

* But if you let me love you

* It's for sure I'm
going to love you

* All the way

- Hey did you sell
many of these?

- Did okay.

There's no money left though.

You know you gotta watch
who you get mixed up

with because everybody's
out to get what they can.

- Yeah, at least you
got to make a record.

- I'm making another
one soon too.

In L.A.

I got something really
good going with some

people out there.

You ever been to L.A.?

- No, I had a couple
chances to go once,

but I wasn't interested.

You know I've been trying
to hook up with a band.

Guy I know the other
night was talking to me

about being a road manager.

- Yeah?

- Yeah, he thought I'd work
really great with a band.

You know he was
going to L.A. too.

I don't know I've been
thinking maybe L.A.'s

not so bad, maybe I
should check it out.

Hey, you got a
bathroom around here?

Who are you?

- I live here.

- What you mean you're
staying with Eric?

- He's staying with me.

Are you and Eric going
to make it or anything?

I'll stay in here.

- Who's is this?

- Mine.

You can use it.

I'm supposed to be
at Sheila's place.

- Yeah? So what happened?

- I was drinking and I got sick.

I was too drunk to get out of
bed when I had to throw up.

I really pissed her off.

- So what are you going to do,

stay in here all night?

- No.

Just till he's asleep.

- Well, see ya.

- Hey, you want to
make with me first?

- Don't make me sick.

Hey, wake up.

- And his
heart is being softened

with the gentle still voice
of the choruses and songs

of the choir.

He said in an interview
conversation that

" we will change to Christianity
because of the choruses

in the songs," Praise
the Lord, Hallelujah,

The power of the
ministry of music

Amen.

- Knock it off!

- Because music
soothes the savage beast

Music reaches out and....

- You want to get into bed?

- Hi.

- You busy tonight?

- Yeah, I got a lot
of people to talk to,

trying to get things
organized before I leave town.

- Hey, you know,
I had this dream

last night about California.

I was there during an
earthquake, a really big one,

everybody thought
it was the end,

only what happened was just
this crack in the earth

and the rest of the
country fell in the ocean

but California stayed on top.

You were there.

- Good.

- Hey, want me to make
you some breakfast?

I could open something.

Nah, I'm in a hurry.

- Well, gotta go, I got a
lot of appointments today.

You know I'd give
you my numbers by

all my phones are
out of service,

you know whole place
is being rewired.

- Sounds like a pain in the ass.

- Yeah, well, like I said,
I gotta move soon anyway.

Building's going co-op.

Well, see ya.

- Wait a minute.

What's your name?

- Wren.

- See ya round Wren.

- Shit.

Ah, excuse me but there seems
to be a lock on my door.

Okay, all right,
I got the message.

Look, It's really funny, I
was just getting paid tomorrow

I was going to give
it to you then.

So you could just take
it off so I can get in?

- I don't want to hear
one of your stories.

- No, really, I was
getting paid tomorrow

I can give you the whole
thing at nine o'clock?

How's that?

Okay, I'll get my roommates
to get you something tonight.

- That's a laugh.

They ran out of here in
the middle of the night.

- Maybe if your slept in
your own bed once in a while

you'd be able to
keep track of them.

- You can't just lock somebody
out of their apartment.

You know I'll call my lawyer
and take you to court.

- You ain't taking no one
no where except yourself

outta here.

- Oh yeah, try and make me.

Look I'll call the
police and have

you arrested for stealing,
what about my stuff, huh?

- What about four
months back rent?

- Shit, I don't believe it.

What you're just
going to kick me out,

just like that, huh?

- Well gee, I hate to
bother you, but can I

least have something to wear?

I can't walk around
in the same clothes.

- You wait outside.

- Good riddance to bad rubbish!

- Come over here lady, come on!

Everybody's a winner!

You bet 20 you win 100,
you bet 20 you win 100

You bet 10 you win 50,

You bet 100 you win 500!

Come over here lady.

- Hey! Quit throwing
my stuff around!

- How much you want for this?

- Give me that you little...

Fat bitch!

You're going to pay for this!

You'll hear from my lawyer!

Hi Christine,
where's your mother?

- Mom!

- So how you been?

- Okay.

- What's new?

- Nothing.

- Hey Terry how you doing?

- Okay.

- What are you doing here?

- Just visiting.

- Christine, come on, beat it.

Come on, get in the kitchen
and clean up that mess.

Been to see Mom and Dad lately?

They've been asking
me about you.

- Yeah, I'm breaking
their heart, I know.

Listen, Terry, I got
this problem I want to

talk to you about, okay?

- You need money.

- Yeah, well I've been
kicked out of my apartment.

The landlord's got all
my stuff locked up.

I mean, I don't need
much, just enough

to get my stuff back.

She's got everything,
my underwear, my socks,

my TV.

- Hey Terry,
where's that lunch?

- Just a minute!

Gosh, he's driving me crazy.

All he does is polish
is goddamned car.

He won't even let me
and the kids ride in it

because he's afraid we're going
to mess up the upholstery.

- Come on, Terry, can't
you help me out, please?

- I don't know.

Why don't you move back home?

- Because I'm not setting
foot in New Jersey again,

ever.

That's why.

I mean it's just loan, I'm
getting paid next week,

I swear to God.

- Let me talk to Mike about it.

- Yeah Mike hates me.

- Yo Terry, come
on, I'm starving.

Look who's here.

- Yeah. What about food?

- All right,
I'm getting it!

- When? This year
sometime maybe?

- All right! All
right! I'm going!

Want some Beef-a-roni?

- Yeah, okay.

- Hi Mike.

- Yep.

- How you doin'?

- You come here to borrow money?

- No.

- Then what'd you come here for?

- For lunch.

What are you doing?

- What's it look like i'm doing?

- Oh boy, car looks
great, real clean.

Hey what kind of
car is it anyway?

A Buick or something?

- Wren, you can be
as nice as you want,

but you're not
getting any money.

- I gotta go.

- Already, what about lunch?

- Forget it, I'm not hungry.

Hey Mike?

- What?

- Thanks for reminding
me what it's like

to be related to an asshole!

- Get outta here!

Hey Wren, I'm sorry we
couldn't help ya out

this time, I guess you're
just going to have to

have the kid

- Mike!

- Hey! Hey, where you going?

Hey you know I've been
looking all over for you.

How come you left me with
that creep last night?

- What?

- Look, I forgive
you for ditching me,

but if you want to make
it up there's one favor

you can do for me, okay?

- Yeah, Wren there's a
favor you can do for me too.

- Yeah, what?

- Leave me alone will ya?

- Hey, what's wrong with you?

Look, I've been locked
out of my apartment

and I need my stuff, okay?

Come on.

- Get out!

- I thought you were so
dynamic, so different.

Well you're not, you're just
like all the other creeps

I thought were my friends.

- Jesus Christ.

- Ah, forget it.

You don't have to help me.

Just let me sit
here for a while.

You know it's really painful
to lose your best friend.

Especially on the day you find
out he's your only friend.

- You think I'm a
jerk, don't you?

You think you can just
tell me anything and

I'll believe it, right?

Well I haven't been
in New York very long,

but I'm sure I'm not as big
of a jerk as you think I am!

- I don't think you're a jerk.

I think you're a nice person.

Nicer than I deserve.

I know, Paul, I'm really rotten.

I'm really disgusting.

You know when I was nine
years old Sister Theresa

said to me, don't let your
mother know how bad you are,

it'll kill her.

Come on, can't you
help me out, please?

- Forget it, Wren
I'm leaving, get out.

Hurry up!

- I'm doing
the best I can.

- Here, give
me that, let me try.

I got it, I got it.

- From
Hollywood, we bring you the

Lawrence Welk Show!

Now here he is, Mr. Music
Maker himself, Lawrence Welk!

- What the hell
is going on here?

- Ow!

- Hold still, will ya?

- You know something?

- What?

- We should have at
least shot the dog.

Put it out of its misery.

- No bullets.

- No bullets? Are you kidding?

I think a lot of people
should be put out

of their misery, don't you?

- You say the weirdest
things sometimes.

- It's true.

- Listen, I think I'm going
to get something to wrap

this up, okay?

- It looks kinda
neat, doesn't it?

It'll look even better when
it starts to turn yellow.

Hey, you know maybe we
shouldn't cover it up.

- Oh yeah?

Maybe then it'll get infected.

Maybe then we'll
have to amputate it,

that'll look kinda
neat wouldn't it?

- Hey what are you
doing with a gun anyway?

- My dad gave it to me.

He thought I might need it in
case I ended up in New York.

- He was right.

Dear Mary Ann,

well I told you I'd
write so here it is.

- Hey what are doing
reading my postcard...

- New York's the
greatest

Hey, who's Mary Ann?

- Never mind that's who.

- Oh don't tell me, I know.

I bet she's a girl
from home, right?

Montana.

She's probably the
first girl who let you

put your hand down
her pants, right?

Come on, don't get mad.

You could be engaged
to her for all I care.

Are you?

- You know everything,
you tell me.

- Look, I don't care
who Mary Ann is,

you and I are just
roommates, that's all.

- Look, I don't know what the
hell you're talking about.

I was thinking of leaving
New York pretty soon anyway.

- No you're not.

- Oh yeah? You know
everything don't you?

- No. Just everything important.

Besides if you left
what would I do?

Sleep on the subway?

- You'd take care of yourself.

- Yeah, I suppose.

* Head wrapped in your hair

* In a box lined with silk, yeah

* You can't learn to talk, babe

* And the air is
your milk, you milk

- Surprise!

I don't think she
likes me too much.

- What are you doing here?

- Didn't you say
come back any time?

No.

- Oh, could have sworn you did.

- What the fuck did you do?

How'd you get in here?

Did that asshole
Billy let you in?

- Hey is this really...

- How'd you get in here?

Jesus Christ.

- God, you wouldn't believe
what happened to me,

I finally had to get out
of where I was living...

- You just can't
do shit like this.

- So now I'm in a new
place, I guess you'd call it

like a mobile home...

- What the fuck
is wrong with you?

You just can't do
shit like this,

I don't care about her, but
I bring people back here

you know, business people,
I can't have you busting in

whenever you want.

I gotta have some privacy.

Look at me!

I meet you one night, I
meet you one night and

you act like I
owe you something.

What do you want from me anyway?

You want to live here?

You want to move in?

You want to fuck me?

Jesus Christ.

- I don't have to take this.

That's right.

- I know it's right,
I got a million places

to spend my time.

- Good!

- Good is right!

And as for me coming
her to fuck you

you'd probably just
fall asleep anyway.

Wren!

Wait a minute.

- Wren?

- Hi.

Recognize me?

I was hanging around
the corner when you walk

by in the morning.

Me and my friends we
always wave at you.

- Yeah.

- Listen, you want me to
keep you company for a while?

20 bucks.

- I don't think so.

- You want me to go down on you,

I do that for 15.

- Um, I don't.

- For my hand it's only 10.

- Thanks anyway, but
I don't think so.

- Look can I just
sit here for a while?

It's cold outside.

- Yeah.

- Crazy weather, huh?

One day it's hot, the
next day it's freezing.

- I guess you gotta
be outside a lot, huh?

- Yeah, well it's the nature
of my business, I guess.

You hungry?

- No, I don't want
to eat your dinner.

- You let me use your truck.

Go ahead, I got an
egg in here anyway.

It's chicken salad
with mayonnaise on em,

my mother made it.

I visited my mother
the other day.

Boy was that a trip.

She's sweet but I think she's
getting a little senile.

How's the sandwich?

- It's good.

- What do you do?

- Portraits.

I draw portraits.

- Oh.

- I'm not an artist
or anything, really.

I just do it for the money.

- Yeah, well, don't we all.

- I'm really not even very good.

- Art was my favorite
subject in school.

I made a lot of clay turtles.

I was really into clay turtles.

This thing run?

- Yeah, sometimes.

- Bill, the guy I work for,

he'd really like
to own this thing.

- Yeah, I don't know if
I want to sell it though.

I put a lot of work into it.

I've had it for a
pretty long time.

- Sentimentally
attached to it, huh?

- Yeah.

- Listen, you sure you don't
want to get it on with me?

I got a scar, I'll show it
to you for five dollars.

- Scar?

- It's in a real
interesting place.

- Um,

I don't think so.

Thanks anyway, but...

- Well, I gotta go.

How come someone so cute as you

is sitting here all by yourself?

Don't you got a girlfriend
or boyfriend or nothing?

Boy is it cold out here.

See you around.

- The new
potentials for disaster are

increasing, slowly, insidiously.

And while they provide us
with the things that make

for the good life,

they also provide dangers,

many of which may become a
threat to our very existence.

The disasters of nature
will always be with us.

And disasters made by
man are increasing.

Both have one thing in common.

The next victim could be you.

* Look out, here he comes again

* Look out, here he comes again

* Meeting with the kid
with the replaceable head

What are you doing?

- My mom misses me so she
bought me this camera,

so I could send
her some pictures.

("The Kid with the
Replaceable Head by

Richard Hell and the Voidoids)

* Too you to drink
and too smart to think

* Attaches on his head
with the missing link

* He's skinny as a
snake and fast as a mink

* But he ain't for sale unless
you add the kitchen sink

- Wren!

* Look out, here he comes agin

Wren we've almost been
thrown out of here

three times already and the
people downstairs hate us.

- Fuck 'em!

- Wren!

- Is he nice?

- He's not nice, he's great.

- Does he like you?

- Well he wouldn't
ask me to go with him

to L.A. if he didn't, right?

- Yeah? He really
asked you to go?

- Well nothing's definite.

He's making the
arrangements the next

couple of weeks.

- Wow, that's great.

My folks want me to
move back to Ohio.

They said a Xerox copy
center opened up downtown.

- Hmm, sounds interesting.

So you gonna go?

- I don't know.

Someone's gotta live in Ohio.

- Not me!

- I didn't say you,
I said someone.

- Hey, Cecile I've been thinking

Hm-mm.

- You know this
place isn't so small.

Why don't I just stay here
till me and Eric leave for L.A?

- I don't know,
Wren, we got four people

living here already.

- Oh come on, just
for a little while.

You got no idea
what a drag it is

living in a van.

- The landlord said if
he saw one more person

walk out of here in the morning,

he'd throw us all out.

Well besides, it's really
Susan and Denise's apartment

anyway and you know
how much they hate you.

- Thanks a lot.

- Why don't you stay with Eric?

- Well he wants
me to, but I don't

want to rush into it.

- You want to call
him from here?

Maybe he could set me
up with a friend of his.

A drummer or something.

- After what kind of friend
you turned out to be?

Forget it.

- Oh Wren, I'd help
you if I could.

Please?

- Give me that.

This doesn't mean you're
going to get to meet him.

Oh come on!

- I'm sorry, but if
you can't help me out,

I can't help you out.

Hello is Eric there?

Is this a friend of his?

Oh yeah, I remember you.

Look, is he there?

Well could I talk to him?

Okay, listen, ask him if
he wants me to come over.

- Yeah, go!

- No one says you're
going anywhere.

Okay, tell him I'm coming.

Bye!

- Aw come on, Wren!

- What are you
going to do for me?

- I can't let you stay
here, it's impossible.

* Well too young to drink
and too smart to think

* Attaches on his head
with the missing link

* He's skinny as a
snake and fast as a mink

* But he ain't for sale unless
you add the kitchen sink

- That's ridiculous,
where is he?

He'll be back soon.

- Come on Cecile we're
getting out of here.

- Wait, we still
got another bottle.

Stay a while longer,

sit down, relax.

- Yeah, Wren.

* Bom bom bom bom

* When you live on a
planet the size of a town

* You can't get your kicks
by getting around, yeah

* Fun's hard to find
on such familiar ground

* So you invent it, the
mental, it's better than found

* Look out, here he comes again

* they say he's
dead, he's my three best friends

* he's so honest
that the dishonest dread

- Hey will you give
Eric a message for me?

I'm leaving my address for Eric,

I want you to make
sure he gets it.

- So you want to
make it with me tonight?

- Don't you ever get tired
of asking people to make

it with you and always
having them say no.

- They don't always say no.

- Sure they don't.

- Cecile, you've
got to be kidding.

- Hey, you want to take a bath.

- No, she doesn't
want to take a bath.

- You have any bubbles?

- Cecile, you don't need a bath!

* Look out, here he comes again

* they say he's
dead, he's my three best friends

* he's so honest
that the dishonest dread

* Meeting the kid with
the replaceable head *

- Would this be okay?

Sure.

- Come on, Cecile,
let's get out of here.

Come on, Cecile.

- Where we goin?

- This guy's a real creep,

you don't want to stay here.

- I don't?

Bye!

- Hey!

Shit.

- Paul? What's going on?

- Nothing.
Go back to sleep.

- What are you doing?

- Nothing, I said,
go back to sleep.

So this is how it's
going to be, right?

- How what's going to be?

- You just come in
whenever you want to,

whenever you can't
find somebody else to

take you in, right?

- What are you
jealous or something?

- No, I'm not jealous,
it's just that I can't

take this much
longer, that's all.

Take what?

- Last night you
didn't come home at all

and tonight you decide
to come back stinking

like an old drunk, that's what.

- What do you want
me to do sign a

lease or something?

- No, I don't want
you to sign a lease,

it's just that I don't think
I can take this much longer.

- Fine, I'll leave then.

I got a million and
one places to go.

- Where you going?

- Take a leak is that
all right with you?

- So how long do you
think it'll take you

to find a new place to live?

- Oh, so you're going
to kick me out, huh?

- Oh, come on Wren,
it's hard for two people

to live in the same place
unless they're together.

- What do you mean together?

- You know what
I mean, together, like

in a relationship.

- We have a relationship.

We're roommates.

- Goddammit Wren, I
don't want a roommate!

- Well I'm thinking of
going to L.A. soon anyway.

I'm going to make up my
mind in a couple weeks.

- You got one week
Wren, exactly seven days

and then I'm leaving New York.

- Yeah maybe you should
take Cecile with you

the two of you can
go to Ohio and open

up a Xerox copy center.

Is he there?

When's he coming back?

Look, do you know where he is?

Asshole.

- Cafe Orlean.

- Huh?

He's at Cafe Orlean.

- The way I see it, all you
really need is money, right?

If someone could help
you find an investor,

then you're on your way.

And the thing about
investors, is they're all over

the place.

Really.

You know the strangest
people have money that

they're willing to spend.

I'm serious.

You know, half the
rock-n-roll industry

is financed by dentists.

- Dentists?

- Yeah.

I'm going to go
make a phone call.

These guys I met last
night you should talk to.

Good connections.

Oh hey, and if you
want anything else,

just order it, okay?

I'll be right back.

- Hey, long time no see.

- Hi Wren.

- What's new?

Whatcha been doing?

- Business.

- Yeah, me too.

I've been real busy.

That's why it's
probably been hard

to get ahold of me.

You know, I've been
thinking about L.A. a lot.

You know, trying to plan ahead.

I have this idea.

I figure instead of getting
a house or an apartment,

why don't we just
get a mobile home?

You know, and that
way if we don't like

where we are we can
just move, right?

And also I figured...

- Nobody home.

- Um, I'll have a diet Pepsi.

- Uh, I look like the
waitress to you or something?

Get out of my seat.

- What do you mean your seat?

I don't see your name
written on it or nothin'.

- Listen asshole get
the fuck out of my seat.

Eric and I are
discussing business.

- Doesn't your pimp usually
take care of that for you?

Anyway, Eric I was
thinking. you know I know...

Get out of my seat!

- Wren, I'll talk to you later.

- Well, anyway, those guys
I was telling you about,

they weren't home.

But you know we could
go over there later,

and we could meet them,

I mean they ain't
exactly rich themselves,

but they know people who've

gotten money when
they needed it.

- Anybody got a light?

No light.

- I am talking cash, we could
be in the studio next week...

- Can I have a
drink of you Pepsi?

- It's not Pepsi, it's Coke.

- I hate Coke.

Shit, Wren!

- Oh look there, looky here,

hey baby where you going?

- Yo, it's my man with the van,

hey, hey you think
about selling that yet?

Well you think some more.

- Come on, honey, I
got something to sell.

Come here I want to
tell you something.

Check it out, honey, come on.

- Well look who's here.

I guess you didn't have
anything better to do

than hang around with
me tonight, huh, Wren?

Wren?

What's going on?

- Leave me alone.

- What's the matter?

- Just go away, okay?

- What are you doing?

What happened to you?

- I was bored and slugged
myself in the face.

- Let me fix it.

- Leave me alone, okay?

Creeps.

They're all a bunch
of creeps out there.

Everyone's trying
so hard to be cool

and they're all a
bunch of big zeros.

Do I look ugly?

- Nah.

Does it hurt?

- You know I had this
dream last night,

the whole world had been
blown up five years ago,

right to smithereens and
everyone was just floating

around on parts of it and
they hadn't even realized

what had happened yet.

Tell me the truth, am I like
really awful or something?

- No.

No, I don't know, you're just

I don't know.

- For some unfortunate
reason if you're ever

in New Jersey and you
happen to see me there,

shoot me, it'll
be what I deserve.

- Why New Jersey?

- It's where I'm from.

Shoot me.

I mean it, you gotta promise.

- All right I promise.

Now can I fix your face?

- Paul?

- What?

- You want to know why I
came back here tonight?

- Yeah, why?

- Cause I missed you.

- Really?

Really?

- You thinking about Mary Lou?

- Mary Ann?

Nah.

I haven't thought about
her for a long time.

- You know what?

- What?

- From now on, this
van's always going to

remind you of me.

- Oh yeah?

- Yeah.

- I gotta get out
of this city, Wren.

- Why?

- I don't know, it's
just not for me.

You know i was only
supposed to be here

for about a week when
I first got here.

- So?

- So I think I'm going to
be moving on, that's all.

I mean I might stay here
for a couple more days

and after that I
think I'm going to go

up to New Hampshire.

I got some friends up there.

And God it's beautiful.

There's lots of
fresh air and trees.

- New Hampshire?

What am I supposed to
do, sleep on the subway?

- I was sorta hoping
you'd come with me.

- Paul?

- Surprise!

It took me two hours
to find this place.

- How's your friend,
the lady wrestler?

- She's not a friend
of mine, she's just

some girl that hangs around.

- Yeah I've run into
that girl before.

She had it in for me.

- She doesn't matter.

- She sure doesn't.

- Is the van yours?

- Yeah it's mine.

- You ever try to sell it?

I bet you could get
600 bucks for that.

- Yeah, well actually
it's part mine,

most of it's my friends and
he wouldn't want to sell it.

Anyway it doesn't even run.

- Oh.

Well the ride to
L.A. fell through.

My friend who's going
out there wants money

and I'm broke.

Just thought I'd
come by and tell you.

- Oh.

- I told him I wanted
to take you along,

but I figured you didn't
have any more money than me.

Do you?

- Yeah well my money's
kinda tied up right now.

- Right.

- Anyway, I'm thinking of
going to New Hampshire.

My friend's leaving
tomorrow and he wants me

to come along.

- You going to go?

- I might. It could be
interesting, you never know.

- Well that's too bad because
I did think of this idea

to make some money.

L.A. sure would be nice.

- Forget it, I'm not interested.

- Yeah, I didn't
think you would be.

It's kinda dangerous anyway.

I'll see you around.

- What idea?

- Ah, the sunshine of my life.

You know that reminds
me of woman I knew of,

who worked in this neighborhood,

she had sunshine in her life,

I'd like to sing to you
about how she lost it.

Hit it please,

* Her name was Lola

* She was a showgirl

* With yellow
feathers in her hair

* And a dress but down to there

- Come on, Ed, down the hatchet.

* Across the crowded floor

* They worked from eight to four

* They were young and
they had each other

* Who could ask for more?

* At the Copa

* Copacabana

* The hottest spot north

You always drink bourbon, Ed?

- No I never drink it.

Sometimes when my wife
and I got out to dinner

or to a wedding or
something like that,

I might have a grasshopper
or a pink squirrel

but my wife Jane says drinking
and driving don't mix.

- Well Ed, we can just
take a cab home so

you don't have to drive, okay?

- You have a match?

- Listen, Ed, what
hotel you staying at?

- The Statler Hilton, that's
where the convention is.

- Are you getting tired?

- I am feeling a
little light-headed,

these drinks and the place
and music and all that.

- Hey, why don't we
go someplace else?

- I don't know.

- We can go back and have
a drink in your room?

- I was planning to call my wife

after 11 o'clock when
the rates go down.

Okay.

* Still in the dress
she used to wear

* Faded feathers in her hair

* She sits there so refined

* And drinks herself half-blind

* She lost her youth
she lost her Tony

* Now she's lost her mind

* At the Copa

* Copacabana

* The hottest spot...

Statler Hilton please?

- Oh, Ed.

- Hey, what's going on?

- I'm just sharing
the cab, okay?

You know what this is?

- What?

- It's a gun.

I've got it pointed at your gut.

I'm going to blow
a hole in it if

you do anything stupid.

- My God.

- Give me your
wallet and your keys.

Your rings and any money
you got in your pants.

- His watch too.

- Watch?

Gimme the other ring.

- It's my wedding ring.

- Let him keep it.

- Why?

- Let him keep it.

- Take your pants off.

- Why? What are you
going to do to me?

- Do what he says.

- Please don't do
anything weird to me.

- Shut up, shut up.

We're going to get off
at the next corner,

our friend here's going on.

- Bye, Ed.

- 60, 80, 100,

- Wow Ed was loaded.

- 140, 160,

170...

- Hey this must be
Jane and the kids

- 175, 176

and change in the pants.

You picked a good one

- Yeah I got a good look
at the watch he had on.

Hey, how much do you
think we can get for this?

- Why you like it?

- Yeah.

- Keep it.

- Yeah?

- Sure, we got enough.

- What part of L.A.
you want to live in?

- I don't know.

Malibu.

- Is that in L.A.?

- It's out there somewhere.

- I just want to
be in a swimming pool,

eating tacos and signing
autographs, that's all.

Hi.

- Have a good time?

Where?

- I don't know, wherever
you were last night.

- It was okay.

- Yeah and how about
the night before that

with me, was that okay too?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Good because I hate to think
you weren't having enough

fun for yourself or anything.

I meant what I said
about leaving New York.

I'm going as soon as I can.

- Good. I'm going too.

- You are?

- Yep, remember what I
said about going to L.A.?

Well, it's really
happening, big time.

Well, guess that's it.

If I forgot anything
you can have it.

Oh, I left you the TV,
it's too heavy to carry.

- I don't want your TV.

- I don't know if
it works anyway.

So I guess you'll be
leaving soon, huh?

- Yeah, I guess.

- Vermont's going to seem
pretty dull after all this.

- New Hampshire.

It'll be all right.

- I didn't say it
wouldn't be okay,

I just said it might be boring.

Well, see ya.

- Wren!

You can't keep
doing this forever,

you can't just go
ahead and use people

when you feel like
it and then when

you're done with them you
go and use somebody else.

All you ever think
about is yourself.

Well other people
got feelings too,

don't you know that?

- Well I guess I'm going now.

- You don't even know what
I'm talking about do you?

- Paul, I just can't.

I mean, New Hampshire?

I don't even like trees.

See ya.

Eric?

Hey Eric!

- Nobody's there.

He got into a car
and drive away.

- You liar.

Eric open up!

Asshole, after
all I did for you,

where the fuck are you?

Fucking asshole!

- You were going
to L.A. with him?

- Yeah and he's
got all my money.

- He gets lots of
people's money.

The day we met I
lent him 600 bucks.

- I was going to
manage his group.

- I was going to
do that once too.

- So what happened?

- Same thing that
happened to you.

- Were you his girlfriend
for a long time?

- Just for a couple weeks.

And then we got married,
so now I'm his wife.

- You and Eric are married?

Since when?

- About a month.

- He never told
me he was married.

- I think he was
trying to forget.

- He's really fucked isn't he?

- Life is fucked.

- Oh hi Susan long time no...

Hey! Open the door!

Hey!

Hey Cecile!

- You can't stay here, Wren.

- I don't want to stay here,

- Well Cecile says you do.

- Liar!

- Cecile, Wren
says you're a liar.

- I did not.

- Hi Wren, why aren't
you in California?

- I changed my mind.

She can't stay here.

- I know.

- She can't even come in.

- God I hate that bitch.

You own part of that apartment,

why can't I stay in your part?

- You just can't.

Where's Paul?

- I don't know.

- Well stay with him.

- I'm tired of living in a van.

- Better than living no where.

- Oh, thanks for the advice.

- I don't know what to do, Wren.

- Forget it, Cecile, forget it.

I don't need you,
or Eric or Paul,

I got a million and one
places to spend my time.

- Wren!

- Get back here!

- I'm on the guest list!

- Hi!

Hey, I think your
band's really good,

hey, you think you'll
be leaving soon?

I thought maybe we
could leave together.

I know a lot of
places we could go.

- Okay, let's go sweetheart.

- Hey! I'm with
him, I'm with him!

- Is she with you?

- No.

- Come on!

- I can play better
and I don't even know how!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

Would somebody call
the fucking police?

Goddammit let go of me!

* You made your offer

* A little too soon

* It's not the first
time it's happened

* In a moment you said

* You don't want to know me

* It seems as though
that's never done

* What I'm seeing as hopeless

* You're seeing as won

- Hello?

Hello?

Hey, who the hell is this?

* It doesn't seem important

* I'd like to know
what matters then

* As it happened
they already did

* I don't remember it

* Loveless love

* Is not my plan

* Loveless love

* Said it isn't romance

* Loveless love

* You think its cool,
I think it stinks

* Loveless love

* You don't care what I think

* Well nobody's perfect

* It's not the way you
were raised to behave

* Try to understand

* That's not the way to be

You're still here!

I didn't think you would be.

I mean, I hoped you
would but I didn't know.

Paul?

Hey Paul!

Who are you?

- What do you want?

- That's my friend's van.

- No, it's not
your friend's van,

it's my van, I paid 700
bucks for this piece of shit

the fucking thing
doesn't even work!

- I'd push my mother down
a ramp on roller skates

for a good marriage.

That's what it says right here.

- I'd push my
mama down on a skateboard

- At 34, she's found the
man she was looking for

French film director,
Louis Malin,

Say hi, bitch

- Time will tell if
the rumors that Candace

is pregnant are true.

- She got a
loaf in the oven, huh?

- I guess so, yeah.

Listen though, till
then remember that

Louis has lots to
recommend him to any girl

talent, intelligence, class
and lots of family money...

- Hey how you doing?

Would you like a ride?

I'm alone, you're alone,
we'll get together,

what do you say, huh?

Don't want to talk to
me, okay, forget it.

Bye.

Hey, listen,

I'm really a very nice guy.

Got an extra beer, you want one?

What are you walking away for?

You got all those heavy
packages, come on,

hop in the car.

You got a better place
to spend your time?

* You said no commitment

* When I asked you
for a compromise

* Just a compromise

* Now I don't know why I ask you

* It's always such a problem

* Why make it a problem

* You must be waiting
for things to happen

* Expecting something to happen

* But nothing ever happens

* Your voice raised in anger

* Who knows what you're after

* You don't know
what you're after

* You never seem to notice

* The distance between us

* The distance

* You're only waiting
for things to happen

* Expecting something to happen

* But nothing ever happens

* Your weakness is
getting stronger

* With your disregard
for conventions

* I'm not looking for some

* New kind of social age anyway

* It all seems the same

* Oh-oh-oh-oh
