00:00:00I pushed your face with my hand.
00:00:02Well, betrayal is not my best thing.
00:00:04Yeah, well, I know.
00:00:05I'm not the only guy who gets upset, he finds his wife sleep.
00:00:10Strong enough to break away without it.
00:00:15He's a jerk.
00:00:17Of course he was a jerk.
00:00:19It's not easy to find someone like you.
00:00:23Try harder.
00:00:28Oh, God, I'm already jealous.
00:00:30I know you're going to find the right person,
00:00:33and when you do,
00:00:36she's going to be the luckiest woman alive.
00:00:49To a free man.
00:00:51Here we go.
00:00:52I have to eat on the market.
00:00:54You never sleep alone.
00:00:56I told you not to marry her.
00:00:57You two had absolutely nothing in common.
00:01:00Forget in common, okay?
00:01:01She wasn't his type.
00:01:02Ray always went for brunettes.
00:01:04You're telling me.
00:01:05You're Larry's wife.
00:01:07Picky, picky.
00:01:08Plus, you're a lawyer.
00:01:09That's right.
00:01:09Ray likes artsy types.
00:01:10He likes them thin and dark and artistic.
00:01:13Right.
00:01:13So, are we talking sex here, or marriage, or...
00:01:16What about love?
00:01:17Love?
00:01:18But in the long term, you're interested in a family, right?
00:01:21I want everything.
00:01:22The kids, the dog, the Volvo.
00:01:25Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:01:26Slow down on the family's point.
00:01:27I mean, first you get laid.
00:01:28Then, you get laid.
00:01:30Exactly.
00:01:31There are many, many women out there.
00:01:34Oh.
00:01:35Lots of skinny women, you know.
00:01:37Anorexics.
00:01:37Yes.
00:01:38Dark, angelic anorexics.
00:01:40They're 33 years old.
00:01:42They're biological clocks.
00:01:43Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock.
00:01:45Come now!
00:01:46I'm ovulating!
00:01:47I'm ovulating!
00:01:50I'm fertile today.
00:01:52Just today.
00:01:53That is not a time, my mom.
00:01:55It kills me to say it.
00:01:56But I'm going to agree with Norman on this.
00:01:58You are attractive, you are straight, you are not overtly psychotic.
00:02:04Oh, thank you.
00:02:06Listen, you just take your time, and don't you be a slave to your glandular reactions.
00:02:11By the way, have I ever mentioned that my family crest is actually a big gland?
00:02:18I rest my case.
00:02:24I am down on my knees!
00:02:27I am begging you!
00:02:28All right.
00:02:30This is humiliating.
00:02:31Are you deaf?
00:02:33Huh?
00:02:33I'm guaranteeing you 100% return in six months.
00:02:38You're my friend, Norman.
00:02:39Sure.
00:02:39That's why I'm bringing you the deal.
00:02:41You see, I'm going to loan money once, I'll do it again, and sooner or later I'm going to lose a friend.
00:02:45Great.
00:02:46Swell.
00:02:46Well, so, I'm floating face down.
00:02:51All right, look.
00:02:52You know, I wanted to emphasize the positive here.
00:02:55The money's not just...
00:02:57It'd keep me alive another 72 hours, okay?
00:03:00Would your friendship allow you to do that?
00:03:02I love this.
00:03:04How much?
00:03:05For the investment?
00:03:07To save your life.
00:03:09Well, say, 20 grand.
00:03:11I'll give you half.
00:03:15You'll save half my life?
00:03:16See, this isn't good.
00:03:17Between friends, just forget the whole thing.
00:03:19No, no, I need the bucks.
00:03:19It's just that I know you can afford more, and I'm wondering...
00:03:23This isn't my job to rescue you from yourself.
00:03:26All right?
00:03:29You're going to regret this.
00:03:32What?
00:03:32A year or two, fortunes could change.
00:03:34You could come to me wanting something.
00:03:35See?
00:03:40Now, see what happened here?
00:03:41It's the same with girls.
00:03:43A little friendly advice.
00:03:44Remember the girls I sent you up with?
00:03:45Norman, those women were...
00:03:45I'll do better, okay?
00:03:46The point is, they told me.
00:03:47What you give off...
00:03:49You know, you're lonely.
00:03:50It's understandable.
00:03:51But it comes off needy.
00:03:53Just like I was here, and it's bad technique.
00:03:56They said I was needy?
00:03:58Desperate.
00:03:59So, look.
00:04:00They're throwing me a party next week, okay?
00:04:0134 years old and still an asshole.
00:04:03They said I was needy.
00:04:04Forget that.
00:04:05I'm trying to tell you something.
00:04:06I invited a girl there, brunette.
00:04:07Midwest, so forth.
00:04:08Perfect for you.
00:04:09Now, please.
00:04:11Tits?
00:04:11Did someone say tits?
00:04:13Like pears.
00:04:15Huh?
00:04:16And not the hard green ones, either.
00:04:17The juicy camise you get in the box from Oregon.
00:04:19The Harry and Davids.
00:04:20Norman, I'm coming to your party as your friend, all right?
00:04:23But please, promise me, you won't introduce me to any more women.
00:04:27Exactly my point, if you let me finish.
00:04:29Believe me.
00:04:30I can find her myself.
00:04:31Who says no?
00:04:32Hey, a safe doesn't have to fall on me.
00:04:34Huh.
00:04:36Are we still friends?
00:04:37Can I go back to work now?
00:04:43And thanks for the 20 G's.
00:04:45Up, up, up.
00:04:45Ten!
00:04:46Ten!
00:04:46After completing the novel, I went back to my work on the particle accelerator.
00:04:54What is that, Michael?
00:04:55Norman is the only person I know who can burn his birthday into a scam.
00:04:58He's not paying food, drinks, he's providing the idiots, you know, who might buy the work of this artist.
00:05:06Is that the artist?
00:05:07The cowboy?
00:05:08Of course that's him.
00:05:09Of course that's him.
00:05:11Guns and buns.
00:05:13It's not that bad.
00:05:15I guarantee you, if there are any sales tonight, you know, Norman's friends, I bet he's going to get a piece of it.
00:05:19Speaking of which, did he come to you about this crazy...
00:05:22Oh, the jackpot idea, a hundred grand?
00:05:24Yeah.
00:05:25He got the money.
00:05:26What?
00:05:26Well, he must have, because, well, one day he was hawking me, and I mean, I'm a harder sell than you are, right?
00:05:31I got two kids, tribal school, but I ain't starting their own law firm.
00:05:34I wouldn't joke.
00:05:34The guy says...
00:05:35Again?
00:05:36Hey, where you going?
00:05:37Are you ready?
00:05:44Hey, did you, I...
00:05:46I'm Cheryl.
00:05:48Norman's friend.
00:05:50Right.
00:05:51That's right.
00:05:51That's right.
00:05:52Good to see you.
00:05:53I'm...
00:05:54Norman told me.
00:05:55I know, I know.
00:05:56According to me, I'm more practically engaged.
00:05:59Yeah.
00:05:59I just love a sense of humor in a man.
00:06:09You know, I think laughter is the greatest apathetic.
00:06:14Don't you agree?
00:06:16In the right circumstances.
00:06:18You know, it's strange.
00:06:21I feel something.
00:06:23Do you feel something?
00:06:25I usually feel something.
00:06:27No, not like that.
00:06:28I mean, you know, when two people fix you up, you'd still be perfect for each other.
00:06:33Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:06:35I mean, usually it's just awful, right?
00:06:38Right.
00:06:39But it's just somehow just this moment we're having right now.
00:06:45This moment?
00:06:46Yeah.
00:06:49Look, I don't want to be forward, but would you, you know, like to go someplace else?
00:06:55Yes, actually, I, um...
00:07:01Would you excuse me for a minute?
00:07:04I don't want to be rude, but, uh...
00:07:07There's something that I must tell Norman.
00:07:13So, if you can...
00:07:14All right?
00:07:15I'm...
00:07:16Will you look where you're going?
00:07:17Oh, Jesus Christ.
00:07:18This is wine, you've ruined your hands off me.
00:07:20It's bad enough you've ruined my dress.
00:07:22I was just turning away from...
00:07:23You don't like me.
00:07:25No.
00:07:26No, no, no.
00:07:26What did he do to you?
00:07:28He is just unbelievably rude.
00:07:31Oh, you're not kidding.
00:07:33I was trying to say it was an accident.
00:07:36I was turning...
00:07:37I'll save it.
00:07:38Why don't you apologize, first and foremost, to your girlfriend and leave me alone?
00:07:42She's...
00:07:43Look, please.
00:07:47I'm sure you're a wonderful person.
00:07:49I...
00:07:49This jerks with wine.
00:07:59Hey, sport.
00:08:00How do you like my pot?
00:08:01If you ever set me up with another woman, I'm gonna kill you.
00:08:04Understand?
00:08:04Sure, sure.
00:08:05Why didn't you say something before?
00:08:09Happy birthday.
00:08:29Oh, God, I'm embarrassed.
00:08:30Last week, wine, bitch of the Western world.
00:08:37Oh, God.
00:08:39I'm sorry.
00:08:40I have to apologize.
00:08:42No, no, no, no, no.
00:08:43No, I'm the one who's...
00:08:44I spilled...
00:08:44No, I'm a klutz.
00:08:45Things like that are always happening to me, and it embarrasses me, and...
00:08:49I took it out on you.
00:08:51Plus, I just bought that dress.
00:08:52I was trying to impress this guy.
00:08:55Did it work?
00:08:56Yeah, he was impressed with what a bitch I am.
00:09:04Um...
00:09:05I'm really sorry.
00:09:06I ruined your evening, and if you want me to...
00:09:08No, you did me a favor.
00:09:09I might have gone for that guy, and I don't need that right now.
00:09:13Besides, you changed my life.
00:09:16I switched from French wine to French water.
00:09:18So, anyway, sorry, thanks, and bye.
00:09:35I'm Ray.
00:09:38Lena.
00:09:41Hi, Lena.
00:09:42Hi, Lena.
00:09:42Hi, Lena.
00:09:48I know, I know.
00:10:16It's junk.
00:10:16I'm poisoning my body.
00:10:18I bet I got the water.
00:10:21Anyway, I believe in body wisdom.
00:10:22If your body craves something, that's what it needs.
00:10:26So, what have you got here?
00:10:27Lonely guy specials?
00:10:29No.
00:10:30They have a very good selection here.
00:10:32I think the manager's a bachelor.
00:10:35You don't have a girlfriend?
00:10:37The girl at the art gallery?
00:10:38The one you made cry?
00:10:40Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:10:43She, uh, no, she was, she was trying to rape me.
00:10:46What's this one special?
00:10:48Hi, I haven't.
00:10:49How did you come to that party?
00:10:51Are you a friend of Norman's, or?
00:10:52Oh, a girlfriend of mine knows the artist.
00:10:54Mom, Bill Hicko?
00:10:56Yeah, he was kind of.
00:10:58Do you want me to get a cup of coffee?
00:11:0023-17.
00:11:02Or a glass of French water?
00:11:05Actually, I haven't eaten yet, so.
00:11:07Me either.
00:11:07Me either.
00:11:07Me either.
00:11:13So, on VP sales, I'm moving up.
00:11:18Then the CEO decides he likes me.
00:11:22I say no, but he's used to getting what he wants.
00:11:27I have to threaten to call his wife.
00:11:31So, of course, he fires me.
00:11:33He spreads the word to small community.
00:11:37Couldn't get hired anywhere in New York.
00:11:39You should have gone to court and filed some...
00:11:43Sure.
00:11:44If, as he put it, I wanted to hear every guy in the company testify that they'd had me.
00:11:50I moved out here instead.
00:11:58What a terrible...
00:12:00Yeah.
00:12:01Yeah.
00:12:09I've never done this before.
00:12:15Had supper.
00:12:17Pick somebody up at a supermarket.
00:12:20You didn't pick me up.
00:12:21We bumped into each other.
00:12:22Still, you know what I mean?
00:12:23You know, usually you meet somebody...
00:12:25You work together, or a friend introduces.
00:12:29It's not just a complete...
00:12:32Stranger.
00:12:36Getting to know someone is like peeling an onion.
00:12:39It makes you cry.
00:12:40No.
00:12:42Layers and...
00:12:44More layers.
00:12:50Well...
00:12:51I think we should go.
00:13:00Arigato.
00:13:00I do business in Japan.
00:13:03Where'd you learn to speak?
00:13:13I studied it at Swarthmore.
00:13:15I've forgotten most of it, but...
00:13:17I love the concept of Japanese.
00:13:20Symbols, not letters.
00:13:22This is it.
00:13:25Where I live.
00:13:26This was great.
00:13:34Yeah.
00:13:35Thanks for dinner.
00:13:40Uh...
00:13:41You think I could come up?
00:13:44I mean, just for five minutes?
00:13:48It wouldn't take five minutes.
00:13:50Look, the law doesn't matter.
00:14:00This is politics.
00:14:01Now, if we take him to court, we'll win.
00:14:02But because he has a vote on the Planning Commission,
00:14:04right now, he's a better architect than you.
00:14:06That's the law.
00:14:07Excuse me, sir?
00:14:09Not now, Sally.
00:14:10Norman's online, too?
00:14:12Uh, sorry.
00:14:13Well?
00:14:16It's Wednesday.
00:14:17I got my Wednesday afternoon golf game,
00:14:19and I'm out here with a mobile phone
00:14:20trying to track down some chick.
00:14:22Nobody knows her, okay?
00:14:23Nobody.
00:14:23Forget her.
00:14:24Okay.
00:14:25Thanks for trying.
00:14:26Thanks for trying.
00:14:45Good night.
00:14:52Keep it.
00:14:53Get it off.
00:14:55That's how you do it.
00:14:58Peace.
00:15:00See you soon, sweetie.
00:15:05Nope.
00:15:07Thank you, sweetie.
00:15:37Yeah, what do you want?
00:15:45Sorry, I'm sorry.
00:15:52Hello?
00:15:53Hi.
00:15:54Lena, hi.
00:15:56Hello?
00:15:57Yeah?
00:15:58Hi, this is Ray.
00:15:59Reardon, from last night.
00:16:03I remember.
00:16:04I, um, I don't have your phone number, or I don't know your last name, so there was no way for me to get in touch.
00:16:14Uh-huh.
00:16:15Go out? Come out? Now or later? Or, um, meet someplace or something?
00:16:25Or, do you, uh, do you have a phone number?
00:16:33Hello?
00:16:34Come on in.
00:16:50I'll be right out.
00:16:51I was just taking a shower.
00:17:12Hi.
00:17:13I have these same columns in my office.
00:17:23I hope, I hope I'm not intruding.
00:17:26I don't mind.
00:17:27I was waiting outside when I saw you come in.
00:17:34Why didn't you say hello?
00:17:37Well.
00:17:39Strange, don't you think? Watching me and not saying anything?
00:17:43I know, I just, uh, yeah, you were with that guy, so.
00:17:48Tell me.
00:17:48Yeah, and you kissed him downstairs, and I just.
00:17:55And you thought?
00:17:58Well, uh, maybe that you lived with him, and, uh, he went to buy eggs, or.
00:18:06Tony's a friend.
00:18:07Tony's a friend.
00:18:08Tony's a friend.
00:18:09Oh.
00:18:10Well.
00:18:11He's gay.
00:18:14Oh.
00:18:15Not that it's your business.
00:18:18No.
00:18:23Well.
00:18:24Something's changed from last night.
00:18:37Yes, it has.
00:18:40Why?
00:18:42It's a problem.
00:18:49I like you.
00:18:52That's the problem.
00:18:54I really like you.
00:19:08That's not a problem.
00:19:09I like you.
00:19:29I like you.
00:19:38Are you sure you want to hear this?
00:19:42Yes.
00:19:49My mother used to hit me a lot.
00:19:55Big things, little things.
00:20:01No reason at all.
00:20:04Nothing put her in a good mood.
00:20:08My father watched.
00:20:19I realized he never wanted me.
00:20:23He left as soon as I could.
00:20:27Never even sent him a postcard.
00:20:38He's so beautiful.
00:20:45Don't say that.
00:20:46Why?
00:20:47Just don't.
00:20:52Yes.
00:20:53Look, just because I'm halfway pretty, guys look at my eyes and think they know me.
00:21:04Like I'm their fantasy.
00:21:06I'm just a regular screwed up person.
00:21:14So when you say I'm beautiful, it's like you're not seeing me at all.
00:21:18Yes, I am.
00:21:20No.
00:21:20Only God, my dear, can love you for yourself alone and not your yellow hair.
00:21:33Gates.
00:21:33For how long?
00:21:42For how long?
00:21:42For how long?
00:21:43For how long?
00:21:43For how long?
00:21:43For how long?

00:22:12I'm so happy for him.
00:22:42Hey, buddy, I have to tell you, that is a beautiful piece of ass.
00:22:57I can't believe the most gorgeous creature I've ever seen.
00:23:00She chose me.
00:23:01Does she like having any sisters, friends, fourth cousin, anything?
00:23:03She burned all the bridges when she left New York.
00:23:05Her only friends are...
00:23:07They're already so happy together.
00:23:12By the way, I think our friend Larry is a little jealous of you.
00:23:17Yes, because you're basically disgusting.
00:23:19You have it all.
00:23:20I do.
00:23:22Oh, I haven't danced so much since.
00:23:25She's strong, too.
00:23:26Did you feel like she was whirling me around out there?
00:23:28Oh, sorry.
00:23:29Oh, it's nothing.
00:23:31I just...
00:23:31Oh, you and Ray like the rough stuff.
00:23:33Why didn't you tell me?
00:23:34I've got some equipment I can lend you.
00:23:36No, no, no.
00:23:36I just...
00:23:37I'm a clad, so...
00:23:38I...
00:23:39Oh, Jesus, look.
00:23:41My parents dancing together.
00:23:50Baby, let's never end up like that, okay?
00:23:51Hey.
00:24:12Jesus.
00:24:15It's over.
00:24:17Over is just beginning.
00:24:18Okay.
00:24:21You're not kidding.
00:24:46Hey, Ray.
00:24:47I hear you got married.
00:24:49That's beautiful.
00:24:50That's gorgeous.
00:24:50Oh, where is she?
00:24:52Well, her day...
00:24:53Oh, that's swell.
00:24:54The girl of your dreams, huh?
00:24:56Huh?
00:24:57Did you get her here?
00:24:58Here?
00:25:00At our booth.
00:25:01A most popular exhibit.
00:25:09Well, maybe I should...
00:25:11Wait, crazy?
00:25:12What are you, nuts?
00:25:13You don't want to find out you're not the wrong one.
00:25:15Let's go to the funhouse.
00:25:16Ah!
00:25:17She looks just like you.
00:25:42I love you.
00:25:56I love you.
00:25:56I love you.
00:26:06I love you.
00:26:15I never thought
00:26:16it would be possible for me to have such a normal life.
00:26:31My uncle used to say.
00:26:33Sissy? Aren't you sissy?
00:26:36Excuse me?
00:26:37Piru, Texas. I'm Cora's sister.
00:26:40I'm Lena Mathers, now Lena Reardon, from Dayton, Ohio.
00:26:46Oh.
00:26:48Sorry, your voice isn't quiet.
00:26:51Just for a minute, I thought.
00:26:53Very sorry.
00:26:55That's okay.
00:27:01It's so strange.
00:27:03This woman sissy something.
00:27:07It's twice that's happened.
00:27:09Once in New York and now here.
00:27:11She looks exactly like me.
00:27:13Maybe she's my double, my doppelganger.
00:27:16She's the one who's really alive.
00:27:19I'm just...
00:27:20You don't feel alive?
00:27:21Of course I do.
00:27:23Only doesn't life seem sometimes like this...
00:27:27very strange dream.
00:27:29I hope I don't wake up.
00:27:32I hope I don't wake up.
00:27:37Oh, come on.
00:27:39Come on.
00:27:41You're so bad.
00:27:44Yes, you are.
00:27:46Stop it.
00:27:47No, please.
00:27:48No, I can do it.
00:27:49I can.
00:27:50I can.
00:27:51Okay?
00:27:52I'll let you know.
00:27:53Um, what's it?
00:27:54Oh, please I'll talk to you later.
00:27:55Alright, bye.
00:27:56Hi.
00:27:57Who's that?
00:27:58Debbie from my dance class.
00:27:59Um, stuff in her marriage is insane.
00:28:02Have I met Debbie?
00:28:04No, because...
00:28:05Well, she's great, but her husband is...
00:28:07it's an unusual combination.
00:28:08He's a psychopath.
00:28:09and he's boring.
00:28:10Um, that is unusual.
00:28:14Ah, so, how was your day?
00:28:15Any news on the Moira job?
00:28:16No, no news.
00:28:19Looks good.
00:28:20Well...
00:28:21Oh, of course.
00:28:22But you have any news on her job?
00:28:25No, no news.
00:28:38Looks good.
00:28:39What's up with you, hmm?
00:28:50I'm sorry. I just haven't felt very...
00:28:54It's okay.
00:28:56I hope it'll come back.
00:28:59It will. The doctor said it'll take time.
00:29:09So, how's it feel?
00:29:13It's like it's become a business or something, you know, a partnership.
00:29:16Well, that's what marriage is.
00:29:17Well, I don't like it.
00:29:20You're not the only one.
00:29:22So, you have these weird jealousy suspicions.
00:29:27Oh, yeah? Like what?
00:29:31Oh, that's normal, too.
00:29:34Usually it's just the way you're driving yourself crazy.
00:29:37But not always.
00:29:40No.
00:29:41No, not always.
00:29:44What are you saying? You're Elaine's?
00:29:49Sometimes everything's a clue.
00:29:52And what you think is paranoia is actually heightened awareness.
00:29:58That's too bad.
00:29:59Not at all.
00:30:02What's sauce for the goods?
00:30:03I'm sorry.
00:30:09I don't know what happened.
00:30:11Mr. Murrah's never late.
00:30:12Oh, no, no, no.
00:30:12Don't even think about it.
00:30:14Don't...
00:30:14Mr. Belvin, please pick up your phone.
00:30:18Mr. Belvin, please pick up your phone.
00:30:20I'm sorry.
00:30:26I'm sorry.
00:30:27I'm sorry.
00:30:28It's just...
00:30:30We've spoken on the phone so many times,
00:30:31and I never had any idea that you were so attractive.
00:30:37But, personally, I prefer brains to beauty.
00:30:40Don't you?
00:30:41No, of course.
00:30:42Yes, I'm...
00:30:43Yes, I'm...
00:30:44I'm...
00:30:44Yeah, I'm...
00:30:45I mean, I didn't endure the four years at Swarthmore in order to...
00:30:49You went to Swarthmore?
00:30:50Yes.
00:30:51So did my wife.
00:30:53Really?
00:30:55So, what year were you?
00:30:58Swarthmore?
00:30:5983.
00:31:00Well, then, uh...
00:31:01Did you know Lena Mathers?
00:31:05I don't think so.
00:31:07No.
00:31:08But those years were crazy,
00:31:10and between the frenzy for grades and jobs,
00:31:13and, you know, then in the middle of all of that,
00:31:15the president of the college, Sam Shaw, died of a heart attack,
00:31:18as he was speaking to us.
00:31:22I hardly remember my best friends.
00:31:25Oh, Mr. Murrow.
00:31:38It's beautiful.
00:31:46We're going to Japan.
00:31:47We are?
00:31:49Mm-hmm.
00:31:49You got the Murrow job.
00:31:51Mm-hmm.
00:31:51That's great.
00:31:52It is great.
00:31:54This building is going to be like nothing else in the whole world.
00:32:00I'm so proud of you.
00:32:02By the way, what year were you at Swarthmore?
00:32:0684. Why?
00:32:07This woman who works for Murrow, Celine Rogers,
00:32:10she was there at the same time.
00:32:11I don't remember her.
00:32:15No, she didn't remember you either.
00:32:18Remember Sam Shaw?
00:32:22Who?
00:32:24Died of a heart attack.
00:32:28Oh, he was a classmate.
00:32:30God, he died of a heart attack?
00:32:33Scary, isn't it?
00:32:34So, when my age,
00:32:37bad things can just come out of nowhere.
00:32:47Sadie, Lee.
00:32:48Why?
00:32:49Ah.
00:32:50Oh, God.
00:33:07Oh.
00:33:07Oh, God.
00:33:08Oh, God.
00:33:08Oh, God.
00:34:11Is your real name Sissy?
00:34:14What?
00:34:15You heard me.
00:34:17You mean am I really this other woman who looks like me?
00:34:20Yeah.
00:34:21Like a sci-fi thing we've been switched or something.
00:34:24Not like sci-fi, like real, like are you really her?
00:34:26I don't know, Ray. I never studied philosophy.
00:34:32Questions like that make my head hurt.
00:34:34I forgot to have Sally go to the bank. I need some cash.
00:34:49No problem.
00:35:03Now you tell Mr. Mura he can't keep you east long or I'll die of loneliness.
00:35:07I will. Bye-bye.
00:35:09Ray, kiss me.
00:35:12I love it, Elena.
00:35:22I love it.
00:35:24Are you playing speculation or what?
00:35:37You think people are put on earth for this old purpose, drive other people crazy?
00:35:52My father had my mom put away and he's one made a loser of marbles.
00:35:59Do you know her?
00:36:02Sissy.
00:36:04Hope she's nothing to you.
00:36:06She's my wife.
00:36:10Figures.
00:36:12Did she run off and leave you?
00:36:13No.
00:36:16I don't give her time.
00:36:19Is that what she did to you?
00:36:22She did things to me I can't even pronounce.
00:36:26Sorry.
00:36:28I'll give her this, though.
00:36:30She always had it in her mind to marry somebody rich.
00:36:36I've got to go work.
00:36:52What's her name?
00:36:55Huh?
00:36:56Her real name?
00:36:57You don't know.
00:37:01They almost need her.
00:37:04She's still at family here?
00:37:06You know, most folks find this stuff out beforehand.
00:37:14Well, whooped that road there, right on Branch, left on Hickory, it's third house.
00:37:26Another high from Buddy here.
00:37:27Mrs. Cedar?
00:37:47Oh, my God, it's Ray!
00:38:01Yes, ma'am.
00:38:03Is everything okay?
00:38:05Yes.
00:38:06Come here. Come here quickly.
00:38:09Is it safe for you to be here?
00:38:12Safe?
00:38:13With your job.
00:38:15I'm sorry. I'm a misunderstanding.
00:38:17Oh, you don't have to pretend. Sissy wrote us all about it.
00:38:22Hey!
00:38:25Hey!
00:38:27What do you want?
00:38:29Come see for yourself!
00:38:33You got any recent pictures of Tina?
00:38:35I do, actually, yes.
00:38:38Well, I'll be. Put her there, Ray.
00:38:41It's good to finally meet you.
00:38:43Could you go and get us some coffee, huh?
00:38:45Um...
00:38:45Surprise!
00:39:01Surprise!
00:39:13I'm glad it's over.
00:39:16Dad.
00:39:19Come see the baby.
00:39:22Look at this.
00:39:27Y'all need any help out there?
00:39:29No, thanks.
00:39:32I'm in the CIA.
00:39:34I had to give them some reason why they couldn't visit.
00:39:37What about that story your mother beating and your father watching?
00:39:41Not true.
00:39:43There's lots of different kinds of abuse within a family.
00:39:46Right, okay.
00:39:48But if the things that you tell me aren't true,
00:39:51then what is true, Lena?
00:39:54Who are you?
00:39:58I'm your wife.
00:40:02I called her Sissy because we wanted to have another child, a boy.
00:40:13Of course, we never did.
00:40:15But Sissy was always so, so beautiful that it didn't really matter.
00:40:20Still, when she wrote me that she was...
00:40:24It wrote us.
00:40:26Of course, that goes without saying.
00:40:28Well, then say it.
00:40:29She wrote us.
00:40:30She was changing her name.
00:40:32Well, naturally, I was insulted.
00:40:35We both were.
00:40:36But it was kind of a woman's lib thing.
00:40:40Women change their name for a man when they get married,
00:40:43so why not change it for their own sakes?
00:40:46But she'll always be Sissy to us.
00:40:49The parents seem to be perfectly decent people.
00:41:02Yep.
00:41:04Why'd you hide them from me?
00:41:06They're stuck.
00:41:08In Texas, in poverty.
00:41:11Can't you feel it?
00:41:12There was this weight dragging me down.
00:41:13And if I'd have stayed there, I would have married that guy.
00:41:15But I would have had his kids.
00:41:17Would have drunk beer every night
00:41:19till I got really fat, ugly, and bored.
00:41:23So I invented myself.
00:41:25I made up Lena Mathers, and I became her.
00:41:28They say you replace every molecule in your body every seven years.
00:41:32I changed my name eight years ago.
00:41:33No more Thelma Sneader.
00:41:37Aren't you going to give me credit for it?
00:41:41Doesn't it seem at least brave
00:41:42that I just became this completely different person?
00:41:45It makes me look at you in a completely different way.
00:41:48Me or you?
00:41:51Isn't the real question who are you?
00:41:53Are you really Ray Reardon,
00:41:54or is that the name your parents hung on you?
00:41:57Oh, you've always been a good boy.
00:41:58You've gone along with who Ray was supposed to be,
00:41:59done what Ray was supposed to do.
00:42:01But who are you?
00:42:03Where are you really from?
00:42:04What do you really want?
00:42:12I'm tired,
00:42:15and I want to go to bed.
00:42:17I tried to tell you so many times,
00:42:35lying here like this.
00:42:36I'd say to myself,
00:42:44now we don't tell him.
00:42:47I wish you had.
00:42:52I was afraid
00:42:53if you knew the real me,
00:42:58that I'd lose you.
00:43:07She's a unique and good girl now, eh?
00:43:10I'm a secret.
00:43:10I love you.
00:43:11I love you.
00:43:11I love you.
00:43:11I love you.
00:43:12She does.
00:43:13Goodbye.
00:43:13Bye-bye.
00:43:18You're not divorcing me.
00:43:20I'm going to send them money every month.
00:43:21Sure.
00:43:21We're okay.
00:43:25Look at me.
00:43:31Tell me it's the truth.
00:43:34You know it is.
00:43:39No matter who you were,
00:43:41and no matter who you are,
00:43:42and no matter who you will be,
00:43:44I'm going to love you.
00:43:51From now on,
00:43:55better than ever.
00:44:04I love you.
00:44:13You're late, Ray.
00:44:14The show's already started.
00:44:17Ray!
00:44:18Ray, my boy!
00:44:20You're looking great!
00:44:22You like these?
00:44:23Huh?
00:44:24And this?
00:44:26Tell me, Ray.
00:44:28Tell me true.
00:44:30Am I the girl of your dreams?
00:44:32No.
00:44:33Actually.
00:44:34Of course not!
00:44:36Look!
00:44:37Looky here!
00:44:38Some guys look at the eyes.
00:44:42Some guys look at the thighs.
00:44:45I just look at the purse.
00:44:47How about that?
00:44:49You like it, Ray?
00:44:50Sure you do!
00:44:52Recognize her yet, huh?
00:44:54And now,
00:44:55the moment we've all been waiting for,
00:44:58the moment which will determine Ray Rayton's fate,
00:45:02here she is, Fox!
00:45:03And last but not least,
00:45:14it's Baby Bob!
00:45:16Yeah!
00:45:17For those of you who don't remember,
00:45:18Bob Baby from last year's cutie pie contest,
00:45:21well, he wasn't born yet.
00:45:22Okay.
00:45:23And now,
00:45:24it's Tina, cute as ever.
00:45:26Yeah.
00:45:26And Lena,
00:45:27cuter than ever.
00:45:29That's right.
00:45:29All right, come on now.
00:45:30That's it.
00:45:30Don't save it, baby.
00:45:31Feel the burn.
00:45:32Atta girl.
00:45:33Okay, and pinhead Ray.
00:45:35That's right, pinhead Ray with the perfect life.
00:45:37He's got the perfect wife,
00:45:38the perfect family.
00:45:39Why, he's got everything a man could possibly want
00:45:41except a Wednesday afternoon golf game
00:45:42and, well,
00:45:44a cute young mistress.
00:45:44But never mind that now.
00:45:45He doesn't have time for any of these things.
00:45:46Stop it, Norman.
00:45:47That's not funny.
00:45:48Exactly my point.
00:45:49According to the East German Judge Lena,
00:45:51it's not funny.
00:45:51So now we come to our legal beagle,
00:45:52Elaine and her client,
00:45:54Bernardo from West Side Story,
00:45:55and a post.
00:45:57That is a great post, buddy.
00:45:59And now let's turn the camera on.
00:46:01This guy, yes.
00:46:02This is a stupid guy.
00:46:04This is a guy who can't make a living.
00:46:06This is, this is a pain in the ass.
00:46:09Thank you, Ray.
00:46:11This is a guy who's going anywhere fast.
00:46:13This is, this is a pain in the ass again.
00:46:17Thank you, Ray.
00:46:17Yes, a pain in the ass.
00:46:20Stop me.
00:46:20I can't be stopped.
00:46:21That's why.
00:46:22Somebody shoot the camera, too.
00:46:23One moment.
00:46:24Christ's sake.
00:46:25Tell me twice.
00:46:27Hey, where's the beer?
00:46:30So, uh, how's everything?
00:46:33Since we talked this morning?
00:46:34Come on.
00:46:36No, come on.
00:46:37I haven't seen Lena in a while.
00:46:38She looks great.
00:46:39You're right.
00:46:40She looks great.
00:46:40Four months after giving birth,
00:46:42she looks really great.
00:46:43Very, very great.
00:46:43And I'll be honest with you.
00:46:45Yes.
00:46:46No, I won't.
00:46:47Actually, I changed my mind and I will not be honest
00:46:50because, uh, it's just that I, uh, I think I saw somewhere
00:46:53where, for them, giving birth is like having an affair.
00:46:56That's what I mean.
00:46:57It gives them a glow.
00:46:58A glow, yes.
00:46:59So she's alive again in a whole new way.
00:47:01And that's beautiful.
00:47:02A glow.
00:47:02Well, you, by the way, can kiss my ass and that'll make us both happy.
00:47:07It's the strangest thing.
00:47:08See for yourself.
00:47:10Well, Bernardo?
00:47:12Well, he doesn't look like him to me.
00:47:14No, no, no.
00:47:15I rest my case.
00:47:16He doesn't look like either of his parents.
00:47:18I think he was switched in the hospital.
00:47:20Oh, I'm sorry.
00:47:21Is that what happened?
00:47:22Did some drunken nurse switch you?
00:47:27There you go.
00:47:30Good night.
00:47:32Good night.
00:47:32Oh, I told you I could.
00:47:52Of course I want to.
00:47:54It's just...
00:47:56You just have to be patient.
00:48:02Yeah?
00:48:03Mm-hmm.
00:48:06I absolutely guarantee it.
00:48:11Yeah, okay.
00:48:15Okay.
00:48:18Bye.
00:48:25Debbie.
00:48:28She wants me to go see those male strippers.
00:48:31That should be fun.
00:48:38Could you try her again, please?
00:48:40I just did, sir.
00:48:44Keep trying her every ten minutes until you reach her.
00:48:47Yes, sir, but it's Wednesday.
00:48:50I have that funeral tomorrow, so I'm leaving early.
00:48:55Just keep trying, please, until you go.
00:48:58Yes, sir, of course.
00:48:59Yes, sir, of course.
00:49:10I love these late dinners after the kids are asleep.
00:49:13You have a bruise on your leg.
00:49:15Christ.
00:49:16Where'd you get it?
00:49:17Where'd you get it?
00:49:18My shrink says I should...
00:49:20Why do I always have to go through this?
00:49:22I'm clumsy, I bruise easily, and I don't want to talk about it every time I bump into a chair.
00:49:26Did you cook this?
00:49:27No, it's takeout.
00:49:30Why didn't you cook?
00:49:31What?
00:49:32Why didn't you cook?
00:49:33Because cooking gets boring.
00:49:35Why didn't you cook?
00:49:36I work all day.
00:49:38What's wrong with you?
00:49:39I hope you enjoy these psychotic episodes.
00:50:00So you go to his place?
00:50:02Excuse me?
00:50:03You fuck him at his place?
00:50:05What are you talking about?
00:50:09Open it up.
00:50:19Did your secretary tell you I called today?
00:50:23At noon, I was out on site.
00:50:27I called back all afternoon.
00:50:32I had this fantasy of coming to your office and screwing your brains out on top of your desk.
00:50:36I guess the fantasy was misplaced.
00:50:40When you weren't there, I went to my shrinks and then I went to Debbie's.
00:50:44If you don't believe me, call Debbie.
00:50:47Want to call her?
00:50:52Go ahead.
00:50:53The machine.
00:51:02And you didn't leave a message?
00:51:06You won't leave a message here.
00:51:11You're sick.
00:51:12Get some help.
00:51:13Ray.
00:51:35What do you want, Ray?
00:51:36I know what you want.
00:51:47Pretend it's all a dream.
00:51:48Sorry, I'm late, everybody.
00:52:10Are you the temp?
00:52:13Yes, sir.
00:52:16Alice Keller.
00:52:17I'm Ray Reardon.
00:52:19Did my...
00:52:19I guess my secretary left.
00:52:22Have we met?
00:52:25No, sir.
00:52:26I don't believe we have.
00:52:29Yes, we have.
00:52:30Wait, you're, um...
00:52:32You're friends with my wife, right?
00:52:34Lena?
00:52:36Sure you are.
00:52:38Lena Mathers.
00:52:38You were at our wedding.
00:52:39Tell me.
00:52:50I'm a nice idea to meet in the park.
00:52:55You recognize that woman?
00:52:56You hired a temp to be your friend?
00:53:11The person's supposed to have friends, right?
00:53:16Everyone has friends.
00:53:19When you told her what the job was, you were laughing at me, making fun of me.
00:53:22She didn't understand.
00:53:26See, it wasn't just that I became Lena and Lena happened to meet you.
00:53:32I chose you.
00:53:33I first saw you five years ago in New York.
00:53:41Party on the west side, riverside in 90-something.
00:53:46I saw you, and somehow I knew.
00:53:51I knew you were it.
00:53:52I was still married.
00:53:58Then later I heard you'd left your wife.
00:54:02A friend of mine, Mimi Moore, knows Norman, and...
00:54:05So she got information from him.
00:54:08Information?
00:54:09What kind of things you like, what kind of woman you like.
00:54:11Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:54:13So, what, you've pretended...
00:54:14Just a few things, just the outside.
00:54:16It's like putting on new clothes or a new perfume.
00:54:23Personality is a perfume.
00:54:27Sure.
00:54:29Perfume's intended to attract somebody, but it's not the thing you fall in love with.
00:54:32Is it?
00:54:35I don't know.
00:54:41Is this the end?
00:54:43I can't keep opening my heart to you, and yet...
00:54:48Isn't that what love is?
00:54:52I don't mean passion.
00:54:54Love.
00:54:58Isn't an act of faith?
00:55:00Loving someone despite having to put up with things which are intolerable.
00:55:08Opening your heart.
00:55:09I can't.
00:55:14And I can't.
00:55:19She's right.
00:55:21I mean, are you perfect?
00:55:22No.
00:55:23But you want to be loved anyway, right?
00:55:25Love her anyway.
00:55:27It's how we save ourselves, by loving people.
00:55:31I mean, I could tell you some stories about Elaine, it's just...
00:55:33I feel like a fool.
00:55:35No.
00:55:36We're all fools in love.
00:55:38Finally.
00:55:41You...
00:55:42Follow your heart.
00:55:49Thanks, man.
00:55:51Yeah.
00:55:53This is what friends are for.
00:55:55Hal, they're being very generous.
00:56:03I just...
00:56:03I just don't need the work.
00:56:06We should load the pitch.
00:56:07Just...
00:56:07All right.
00:56:08Okay.
00:56:08Listen, on that other matter, just forget it, okay?
00:56:10Let's settle.
00:56:11Yeah.
00:56:12Okay.
00:56:13He's always in the car.
00:56:15Just a very...
00:56:16Also, Sally, we should call him Mr. Murr, please, all right?
00:56:18Yes, sir.
00:56:19It should really...
00:56:19Also, your wife's visa bill came here instead of the house.
00:56:23Lena handles the money.
00:56:24Why would they have sent...
00:56:24Apparently, it's a new card, and it made a mistake.
00:56:26Okay, so pay it, and I'll ask her about it tonight.
00:56:29Do you want to look it over?
00:56:31No.
00:56:31Should I?
00:56:56What day of the week was May 27th?
00:56:58A Wednesday, sir.
00:57:01Would you call my house, please?
00:57:14I did, sir.
00:57:14She's not home.
00:57:18Try the Hotel Chanticleer.
00:57:20Yes, sir.
00:57:29Lena Reardon, please.
00:57:31She's checked out.
00:57:55You got the keys?
00:57:56Oh, good girl.
00:58:01Hi, sweetie.
00:58:01Be careful.
00:58:03Hi.
00:58:04I put a snack on the table.
00:58:05Oh, good.
00:58:06That's a good boy.
00:58:07Hi.
00:58:09Hey.
00:58:11Hey.
00:58:12Hi.
00:58:16Go, go.
00:58:16Jane, take the kids out.
00:58:21What?
00:58:22Take the kids outside, please.
00:58:23Well, I take them.
00:58:24Anywhere.
00:58:25The park.
00:58:26Yes, sir.
00:58:27Come on, Tina.
00:58:30Come on.
00:58:31Tina, come on.
00:58:32Is it really necessary to throw a scene every single day?
00:58:48What's that for?
00:58:49What?
00:58:53Come on.
00:58:55I love you.
00:59:05I love you.
00:59:06You threw away the bill.
00:59:34What bill?
00:59:35What?
00:59:36Hotel Chanticleer every fucking Wednesday.
00:59:42I throw it away.
00:59:48Let me ask you this, why weren't you more careful?
01:00:03Did he get a second diaphragm?
01:00:05I mean, leaving evidence around like this is sloppy.
01:00:09Why didn't he use a prophylactic?
01:00:10Sometimes we do use a prophylactic and sometimes I just give him a blowjob.
01:00:17I always knew you were abusive.
01:00:18I do you, you do me.
01:00:20Who is it?
01:00:22Don't you know?
01:00:24Can't you guess?
01:00:26Debbie.
01:00:27Debbie.
01:00:28Debbie's an answering machine.
01:00:32That's right.
01:00:33Just a woman's voice.
01:00:34Someone saying they're Debbie.
01:00:35Who the fuck is it?
01:00:37You know him better than I do.
01:00:40Well, in some ways you know him better.
01:00:43And otherwise I know him better.
01:00:45What?
01:00:46Aren't I telling you what you've always suspected?
01:00:49What you've always wanted to hear?
01:00:51What else do you want to hear?
01:00:55Want to hear how good it was?
01:00:57Stop it.
01:00:58It was fucking great.
01:00:59His cock is so huge.
01:01:00He makes me cum and cum and cum.
01:01:05And the amazing thing is really, all this time you never suspected.
01:01:10The whole time?
01:01:11The whole time, Ray.
01:01:12Even before we were married.
01:01:14All my bruises.
01:01:16The whole time?
01:01:17What about the kids?
01:01:20Are they mine?
01:01:21Do you know?
01:01:22Of course I do.
01:01:23Who's are they?
01:01:24I love them.
01:01:25And I raised them.
01:01:26I guess you have.
01:01:27But I'm still not going to tell you.
01:01:29Damn.
01:01:30Oh.
01:01:31Oh.
01:01:32Oh.
01:01:33Oh.
01:01:34Oh.
01:01:35Oh.
01:01:36Oh.
01:01:37Oh.
01:01:38Oh.
01:01:39Oh.
01:01:40Oh.
01:01:41Oh.
01:01:42Oh.
01:01:43Oh.
01:01:44Oh.
01:01:45Oh.
01:01:46Oh.
01:01:47Oh.
01:01:48Oh.
01:01:49Oh.
01:01:50Oh.
01:02:06Is that all?
01:02:08Oh.
01:02:09Oh.
01:02:10Oh.
01:02:11Oh.
01:02:12Oh.
01:02:13Oh.
01:02:14Oh.
01:02:15Oh.
01:02:16Oh.
01:02:17Oh.
01:02:18Oh.
01:02:19Oh.
01:02:36Oh.
01:02:37Winston.
01:02:48Winston, no, that's fucking off-game.
01:03:02Mr. Rear here, who are you?
01:03:04I'm Dr. Stienling, a psychiatrist.
01:03:06What the fuck happened here? Where's my wife?
01:03:08She was hysterical. I am here to evaluate your mental state.
01:03:11My mental state?
01:03:13If you're a danger to your wife, we can have you committed for 72 hours observation.
01:03:17Get the fuck out of here, son of a bitch.
01:03:19Officer! Officer!
01:03:22What the fuck's this?
01:03:27Take him away.
01:03:2951-50.
01:03:36You will be held for observation according to Welfare and Institution's Code 5150.
01:03:49You may use the telephone, wear your own clothes, and you may petition the court at any time for your release.
01:03:55I don't care what kind of law you practice, Al.
01:03:57I don't care who you pay.
01:03:58I don't care what it costs.
01:03:59I want out of here right now.
01:04:02The law?
01:04:03Fuck the law.
01:04:03Fuck the law.
01:04:04And now, baby cakes, the moment you've all been waiting for, the moment which will determine, Ray Reed's state, here she is, folks.
01:04:22That's right, Ray.
01:04:24It wasn't your second wife.
01:04:25It was your first.
01:04:26You should have stayed with Martha.
01:04:28Come on down.
01:04:29Come on.
01:04:30Give her one last dance.
01:04:31Give her one last dance.
01:05:01Hi, sweetie.
01:05:22How are the kids?
01:05:23I miss them.
01:05:25Just peachy.
01:05:27Want to go for a walk?
01:05:28I can't believe they let us out together.
01:05:35Oscar will protect me.
01:05:37The facility is expensive.
01:05:39What if I fly into a rage and attack you?
01:05:42You're sedated.
01:05:44I am?
01:05:45I don't feel sedated.
01:05:49That's because you're crazy.
01:05:52So, what are you doing here?
01:05:56Right as you're hearing, I wanted to tell you.
01:06:00Whichever way it goes.
01:06:01Whichever way it goes?
01:06:03I know it's dangerous.
01:06:05I know it's crazy.
01:06:06They aren't going to keep me in here.
01:06:08I just wanted to say, Ray, in spite of everything, I love you.
01:06:26I really, truly love you.
01:06:28Norman will be disappointed.
01:06:32Yeah.
01:06:33You've seen who I really am.
01:06:37Seen more than anybody ever.
01:06:39And you kept on loving me.
01:06:52You're a psychopath.
01:06:58Probably.
01:07:01A psychopath can still love somebody, can't they?
01:07:03Okay.
01:07:09My client's been off medication for 36 hours?
01:07:19Yes, of course.
01:07:20Maybe the staff should be bringing him in any minute now.
01:07:22Mr. Reardon, you requested this writ hearing?
01:07:41Yes, Your Honor.
01:07:42You're being incarcerated against your will.
01:07:44And Dr. Spatz, the hospital recommends?
01:07:47It's a perplexing case, Your Honor.
01:07:49I suspect an atypical psychosis, but I need more time to evaluate.
01:07:55180 days additional.
01:07:56Wait a minute, but...
01:07:57Well, considering the danger to his wife, yes.
01:08:01That's what I'd recommend.
01:08:04Mr. Reardon, you understand this is a legal proceeding,
01:08:07but I find it very useful if the patient testifies first.
01:08:11Your Honor, we prefer...
01:08:12I'm glad to hear that.
01:08:14You're saying that your wife created a character and identity
01:08:17so you would fall in love with her?
01:08:18Yes.
01:08:19And she was guided by your friend, this Norman?
01:08:21Yes.
01:08:22Who she slept with throughout your marriage at this...
01:08:25Hotel of Chanticleer.
01:08:27And she'd call him sometimes on the phone
01:08:29and pretend it was this fictitious girlfriend, Debbie.
01:08:33I mean, this sounds so crazy, but...
01:08:35No, no, no, not at all.
01:08:39But the discovery of all this in such a short time made...
01:08:43It...
01:08:43I hit her.
01:08:53I've never done that before.
01:08:55And the idea that I pose some sort of permanent danger to her is just ludicrous.
01:09:00I understand.
01:09:01I think any of us making that sort of discovery...
01:09:04Uh, right.
01:09:09Now, let's see what the other side has to say.
01:09:13I'd like to call Dr. Steen, please.
01:09:16Dr. Steen, as Mrs. Reardon's psychiatrist,
01:09:18do you find that her husband poses a threat to her life?
01:09:21I thought so for some time.
01:09:23Mrs. Reardon has been seeing me for several years.
01:09:27And on many occasions, she's had visible and very alarming bruises.
01:09:33When I asked her about them, she said that her husband hit her.
01:09:36That's bullshit.
01:09:37Mr. Reardon.
01:09:40I've advised Lena frequently to go and see the police.
01:09:46So when this latest incident occurred...
01:09:49I told you before, I never hit that high.
01:10:13She's done this to herself.
01:10:14I'll take care of her.
01:10:15What?
01:10:15She's a fucking friend.
01:10:16I'll take care of her.
01:10:17Well, then Mr. Reardon's accusation is about you and his wife.
01:10:23Look, I'm an asshole, Your Honor.
01:10:26Can I say that?
01:10:28All right, see, I've always been an asshole.
01:10:30But this...
01:10:32Even if Lena wanted me...
01:10:35Well, I probably couldn't resist, to be honest.
01:10:39Once I could have.
01:10:40I mean, look at her.
01:10:41But to carry on this long?
01:10:47Ray is my friend.
01:10:51Besides, every Wednesday afternoon for the last ten years, I've played golf.
01:10:56Oh, I brought some letters from my golf buddies, some, uh...
01:11:07Then these bruises, have you seen them before?
01:11:12Sure.
01:11:13And are you aware of any other examples of violence, particularly towards women?
01:11:16What was that?
01:11:22Um...
01:11:23Ray's first wife, Martha.
01:11:25When they broke up, he slapped her.
01:11:35I'm sorry.
01:11:38Your Honor, that was four and a half years ago.
01:11:41So noted, counselor.
01:11:45And your name?
01:11:46Debbie Tribium.
01:11:48And what is your relationship?
01:11:49I'm just, uh...
01:11:51I'm a friend of Lena's from dance class.
01:11:54And she calls me on the phone sometimes.
01:11:56Have you met Mr. Reardon?
01:11:58Sure, a couple of times.
01:12:00I had dinner there, uh...
01:12:02Once I dropped by.
01:12:04Mr. Reardon.
01:12:04I don't think you're so fucking dead.
01:12:06Debbie.
01:12:08Do you work for a temporary agency?
01:12:09Excuse me?
01:12:12Do you?
01:12:14I own a cookie shop on the north side.
01:12:16Chocolate chip, oatmeal raisin.
01:12:19Okay, then describe the Reardon's apartment.
01:12:22Uh...
01:12:23It's a penthouse apartment with, um...
01:12:26Cathedral ceilings.
01:12:29Um...
01:12:30The living room is on the right.
01:12:32Kitchen's on the left.
01:12:33And, uh...
01:12:33All right, all right.
01:12:38Mr. Reardon,
01:12:38you're a distinguished architect
01:12:40without a blemish on your record.
01:12:42There's no history of any mental illness.
01:12:43I'm sane, Your Honor.
01:12:45You look sane,
01:12:46you sound sane, sir.
01:12:48But everything you say
01:12:49seems to be a delusion.
01:12:51Frankly, I'd like to believe you.
01:12:53But without a witness
01:12:54or some sort of corroboration.
01:12:56Your Honor, what about her bills?
01:12:58The Hotel Chanticleer,
01:12:59every Wednesday.
01:13:01$333.
01:13:02$379.
01:13:03Mrs. Reardon?
01:13:06Your Honor,
01:13:07I went to this Hotel Chanticleer
01:13:08and, um,
01:13:09I have a letter from the manager
01:13:10saying he's never seen me before,
01:13:12that I'm not the Lena Reardon he knows.
01:13:14Then who's responsible for these charges?
01:13:17I must have used that credit card
01:13:18once or twice
01:13:19and then lost it.
01:13:20Uh, I didn't realize
01:13:21it was missing until a few days ago.
01:13:23I called the company
01:13:24and they sent over copies of the charges
01:13:26if you'd like to compare signatures.
01:13:27Uh, that's not necessary.
01:13:30What?
01:13:31I'm sorry, Mr. Reardon.
01:13:33You're sorry?
01:13:34You're sorry?
01:13:35Hey, relax.
01:13:36This is my life we're talking about.
01:13:37I'm aware of that, sir.
01:13:39And I'm doing you a favor.
01:13:40If you weren't in this hospital,
01:13:41your wife could have put you in jail.
01:13:43But, but, but,
01:13:44that's not what this is about.
01:13:46I mean, don't you see what she's doing?
01:13:47I mean, she's stolen my children.
01:13:49She's stolen my house.
01:13:51And she's manipulating you.
01:13:52Mr. Reardon, that's enough.
01:13:54Your fucking hand.
01:13:55I'm warning you, sir.
01:13:56Oh, fuck you.
01:13:57All right?
01:13:58You've already made up your fucking mind.
01:14:00Very well, then.
01:14:02Proceed.
01:14:03Just watch it.
01:14:06You have no idea who you're dealing with.
01:14:08She lies to me
01:14:10and she tells a different lie to you.
01:14:12I'd be happy to take a polygraph test.
01:14:13You're fucking right she'd take it.
01:14:15She'd pass, too.
01:14:15Some fucking machine.
01:14:16She is a machine.
01:14:17Mr. Reardon.
01:14:17I'm a machine.
01:14:18You married me.
01:14:19I married you and I loved you
01:14:20and you're fucking killing me.
01:14:23Hands up.
01:14:24Get out of the hood
01:14:25if you want to execute me.
01:14:26You're wrong.
01:14:27Please.
01:14:32Take this.
01:14:37Don't let us wear these in here.
01:14:39Get your hands off.
01:14:40Get your hands off.
01:14:49How are we doing today, Ray?
01:14:50God bless pharmaceuticals.
01:15:05You know what my daddy says?
01:15:07My daddy says there are no accidents.
01:15:14That we all get exactly what we want.
01:15:17Your daddy's wrong.
01:15:20Talk about it.
01:15:25Family makes you crazy.
01:15:28And friends ease the pain.
01:15:29Right, John?
01:15:33Yeah, that's what friends are for.
01:15:37That's what...
01:15:39Friends...
01:15:43I'm going.
01:15:43See you now.
01:15:47I'm going to sing.
01:16:02You're going to sing places now.
01:16:08You're going to sing places.
01:16:09It's Ray.
01:16:20Visit me soon.
01:16:21I don't tell anybody you're coming.
01:16:31Go to bed.
01:16:39Go to bed.
01:17:09Is it all right if I take him outside?
01:17:13You're safe.
01:17:14With the drugs he's on, he couldn't hurt a fly in December.
01:17:19Go on.
01:17:21You called me, right?
01:17:23I'm sure it was you.
01:17:25Well, look.
01:17:27I've been doing some work on my own to get you out of here,
01:17:30but this is a very weird legal area.
01:17:33I...
01:17:34Thanks for coming.
01:17:36You know why I'm in here, right?
01:17:38Well, I was wrong about Norman, and I think it was Larry.
01:17:42What was Larry?
01:17:43Larry's been fucking Lena.
01:17:45Is that possible?
01:17:47For a long time?
01:17:47Four or five years?
01:17:49It's possible, but I...
01:17:52It's more than possible.
01:17:55It explains...
01:17:56It would explain a...
01:18:00I think there's two of them in trying to get my money.
01:18:02Yes.
01:18:03And go to New Zealand.
01:18:06What?
01:18:08What?
01:18:10He bought a house in New Zealand without my knowledge.
01:18:14It was a down payment we couldn't afford,
01:18:17and when I found out about it,
01:18:18he told me that it was some kind of an investment.
01:18:26Don't ever tell him you know.
01:18:29I won't.
01:18:31Make his life misery.
01:18:35Believe me.
01:18:35I want to retain your legal services.
01:18:45Is there any way you can be forced to reveal this conversation?
01:18:49No.
01:18:49Good.
01:18:50Then tell me if this will work.
01:18:53What?
01:18:58Lena, it's Elaine.
01:19:00I'm out here visiting Ray.
01:19:02No, he's sedated.
01:19:03He's silent.
01:19:05But he did say this one thing.
01:19:09He said,
01:19:09you made a mistake.
01:19:12I don't know,
01:19:14but he kept repeating it.
01:19:15He said,
01:19:16you made a big mistake.
01:19:18You forgot something.
01:19:21Yeah, that was all.
01:19:24Okay.
01:19:27Yeah.
01:19:28You too.
01:19:31I don't know, Ray.
01:19:33Maybe...
01:19:33Maybe not.
01:19:37Okay, Ray.
01:19:38I'll see you soon.
01:19:41Good luck.
01:19:42Good luck.
01:19:57Billy.
01:19:59Billy, wake up.
01:20:01Talk about it.
01:20:02What's my name?
01:20:07John.
01:20:07What's your name?
01:20:10John.
01:20:11Do you want $100?
01:20:14American money?
01:20:15You bet.
01:20:17I'll remind you every night,
01:20:19and one day,
01:20:20I'll tap you on the knee,
01:20:22and you'll know what to do.
01:20:24Okay?
01:20:24Okay, John.
01:20:26I'll...
01:20:35I'll find you.
01:20:37Hi, Nick.
01:20:43I'll see you, Nick.
01:20:43I'll see you.
01:20:45I'll see you next time.
01:20:45I'm ready
01:20:57I'm right as rain
01:20:59Ready as Robert
01:21:00Don't worry about me, John
01:21:10Oh, hi
01:21:11He's over there
01:21:13Rain
01:21:25That's what I'll use
01:21:30Go ahead
01:21:39Happy birthday
01:21:44Happy birthday
01:21:48Happy birthday
01:21:50Happy birthday
01:21:52Happy birthday
01:21:56Happy birthday
01:21:58Happy birthday
01:22:00Happy birthday
01:22:02Happy birthday
01:22:04Timber!
01:22:18Jesus, Billy!
01:22:20Who woke you up?
01:22:21Get off of me!
01:22:30Your old boyfriend, Buddy, his father had his mother committed.
01:22:33Is that where you got the idea?
01:22:36Maybe.
01:22:38So everything was planned.
01:22:43Well done.
01:22:54I just think it's wonderful that you've come.
01:22:57Thank you so, so much.
01:22:59It came because of some bullshit you told Elaine.
01:23:01There's a flaw in my plan.
01:23:03Speaking of plans, I must ask, are you really going to New Zealand with Larry?
01:23:08Larry?
01:23:09When I'm done with him, he'll wish he was you.
01:23:11What are you gonna do with my kids?
01:23:14Take your kids with me and tell them you died, or maybe I'll just leave them.
01:23:17I don't think so.
01:23:19You still don't have the faintest clue who I am or what I do.
01:23:22Likewise.
01:23:26God, you are so beautiful.
01:23:28Ravishing.
01:23:30You okay?
01:23:31Never better.
01:23:32Never, never better.
01:23:36Never, never better.
01:23:38What are you doing?
01:23:39Well, this is the last time we're gonna see each other, right?
01:23:47Right.
01:23:48I want to thank you with all sincerity.
01:23:49I've been sleepwalking my whole life and you've woken me up and I feel alive now.
01:23:53You're fucked.
01:23:54Yes, but I'm alive and inspired.
01:23:55I mean, you saw your plan with such clarity, such ruthlessness.
01:23:56Well done.
01:23:57Let me go.
01:23:58No.
01:23:59I'll scream.
01:24:00No, you won't.
01:24:01No.
01:24:02No.
01:24:03No.
01:24:04No.
01:24:05No.
01:24:06No.
01:24:07No.
01:24:08No.
01:24:09No.
01:24:10No.
01:24:11No.
01:24:12No.
01:24:13No.
01:24:14No.
01:24:15No.
01:24:16No.
01:24:17No.
01:24:18No.
01:24:19No.
01:24:20No.
01:24:21No.
01:24:22Why won't I?
01:24:23Because everyone will come running and you won't get it.
01:24:25Get what?
01:24:28What you want.
01:24:29What you deserve.
01:24:33I mean, you deserve to know the flaw in your plan.
01:24:39You were so good at it, and you might want to do it again.
01:24:48again.
01:24:54OK, tell me.
01:25:00Kiss me first.
01:25:01What?
01:25:03Kiss me, and I'll tell.
01:25:06Only it has to be a real kiss.
01:25:10Something to remember.
01:25:11We don't need Oscar.
01:25:18We don't need anyone.
01:25:23Kiss me, and I'll release you.
01:25:39Who are you, Lena?
01:25:40Who are you, Lena?
01:25:48Who will you be when you die?
01:25:51You don't have the guts.
01:25:53Don't I?
01:25:54No, Ray.
01:25:55They're too practical.
01:25:56What about the consequences?
01:25:58There are no consequences.
01:26:01That's the flaw in your plan.
01:26:05I'm crazy.
01:26:07You've driven me crazy.
01:26:09It was a whole idea.
01:26:11Well, crazy people aren't responsible.
01:26:14Crazy people aren't legally responsible.
01:26:18I'm not guilty by reason of insanity.
01:26:23In a year, I'll be seen again.
01:26:26And they'll have to let me out.
01:26:28No, it's terrible.
01:26:29I'll be seen again.
01:26:30There is no problem in the back.
01:26:31It's not fair.
01:26:32Yes.
01:26:33I'll be seen the Hulk.
01:26:34No, no, no.
01:26:35You've seen the Hulk.
01:26:36I'll be seen as a bug.
01:26:37No, it's not.
01:26:38I will.
01:26:39No, no, no.
01:26:40It's not.
01:26:41It's not too bad.
01:26:42I can be seen it.
01:26:43Don't you?
01:26:44There's no evil.
01:26:45You're no evil inside, no.
01:26:46It's not too bad.
