- Don't tell Mr Digman I said that - Okay
Because what I really wanna do is, I'd really like to get into publishing
There aren't any openings right now
But what I would love to do is just create a magazine, my own magazine
which would be, like, a forum for writers and intellectuals
who can't get into print anywhere else, who could, you know
I'm not into editing or trying to reach a particular audience
Getting it out there, they would get some momentum going
and, you know, do something with
- With, you know - Excuse me, one second
I love that book
Yeah Oh, yeah
I think Miller's really great
"This is not a book This is a prolonged insult
A gob of spit in the face of art
A kick in the pants to truth, beauty, God "
Something like that
That's very good
That's all I remember
I've read this before I mean, I don't I'm just rereading it
I don't reread books that often
but this one's my favorite
I like it better than Capricorn or Plexus
or Sexus

I'm sure, whatever it was, I'm sure you'll straighten it out
You think so? Do you think I should try to make up?
Well, I don't know, I mean You know Maybe you're better off

Franklin Franklin
Franklin
- Are you Paul? - Yeah

I like that
- Do you? - Yeah Very much
It reminds me of that Edvard Munch painting
What's it, The Shriek?
- The Scream - The Scream Right
Sort of like a three-dimensional version of that painting
Is Marcy here?
She had to go out to the all-night drugstore
- Is she all right? - It's under control
This place is huge
Do you share it with anyone?
Hey, would you like to work on this for a while?
- I could use a break - What?
It's not hard
What are you talking about? This is yours
- How would I know what you want? - Look, it's real easy
Just take some of this stuff and slap it on like this
All right, I'm coming
Yeah?
Of course he's here You invited him
That's your problem, Marcy I'm not gonna tell him
I'm not telling him
I can't talk any louder
All right, hurry up
- How's it going? - It's great
I'm just giving him a shoulder
Look what you did to your shirt
Oh, good
- Give it to me, I'll throw it in the wash - No, that's all right
It'll only take 20 minutes
That's okay
Come on
You wanna look nice for your big date, don't you?
All right
Twenty minutes, huh?
- Put this on while you're waiting - Thanks
You do that all day and your own shoulders get pretty sore
Want a massage?
- You read my mind Would you? - Sure
I'm not too good at this
Just know a few basic moves
Just make it hurt and you're on the right track
That's all I know
Okay
- You have a great body - Yes
Not a lot of scars
That's true
Never occurred to me
I mean, some women I know are covered with them head to toe
Not me
Scars?
Horrible, ugly scars
I'm just telling you, now
I don't know
I know, when I was a kid
I had to have my tonsils taken out
And after the operation
they didn't have enough room in Pediatrics
So they had to put me in the burn ward
But before they wheeled me in
this nurse gave me
this blindfold to put on
and she told me never to take it off
If I did
they'd have to do the operation all over again
I didn't understand what my tonsils had to do with my eyes either
But anyway
that night
at least I think it was night
I had reached up
to untie the blindfold
and
I saw
Hello again
- Sorry about this I was detained - Don't worry about it
- So how are you? - Good
Well, I made it You wouldn't I'm here
Let's go into my room and get away from all this mess
Sure
Your roommate was just dipping all day
Put me to work
I feel like a real SoHo artist
What did you do to her?
I didn't do anything to her She was asleep
I mean, she just She was tired
- What do you mean, what did I do? - Easy, easy It was an innocent question
Look, I'm gonna take a quick shower I'll be right back, okay?
Sure Yeah, I mean, I think a shower would probably do you good
You had a tough day
I knew there was something special about you
I hope you don't have to get up early tomorrow or anything
No No, I don't
Because I think you're somebody I can really talk to
And tonight I feel like
I feel like I'm gonna let loose or something
I feel like
I feel like something incredible is really gonna happen here
I feel so excited and I don't know why
I feel it
I'm glad you came
Me too
If you want a joint, there's some in there
No Maybe later
- Hello? Is Marcy there?
She can't come to the phone right now May I take a message?
- Could you just tell her Greg called? - Sure
Is she back?
- That felt good - Yeah
- You want me to close the window? - No, I got it
Boy! Whoever used to live here must have been a bodybuilder
Jesus
Who's Franklin? The buzzer, when I came over
Hey, I thought I told you to stay on the bed
Right
I'm gonna ask you to wait here just one more minute I promise
- All right - You're the best
- What, Paul? - What?
What did you say?
I didn't say anything
You didn't just say something just now?
No, I didn't say anything
I could have sworn I thought I heard you say something in here
Well
I didn't
I don't think I'll be able to sleep at all tonight
What's that smell? Is that linseed?
- It's skin moisturizer I have dry skin - Really?
Feels pretty soft to me
Please
- What's the matter? - Nothing
I think you're very nice, I do Could we just talk a little while?
Of course Sure
Greg called
How did that little faggot find out I was staying here tonight?
Probably wants to whine to me about his latest boyfriend
Friends like that are hard to deal with sometimes
Well, that's what friends are for
- I know that, but I meant - I just can't deal with it tonight
Does he want me to call him back?
He didn't say
Well
Since you answered the phone
he probably figured I was
I'm scared
Why don't you just tell me what's wrong
I was raped once
As a matter of fact, it happened right here in this room
I lived here once
He came in through there, off the fire escape
He held a knife to my throat and said
if I made any noise he'd cut my tongue out
He tied me to the bed
He took his time Six hours
My God
Was he
Did they get this guy?
No
Actually, it was a boyfriend of mine
To tell you the truth, I slept through most of it
So there you are
You wanna get some coffee? I feel like getting out of here
Absolutely Say, is there a place open this late?
Sure, it's not even 2 yet
Ready?
Can I ask you something? I've wanted to ask you this all night
- Who's Franklin? - Franklin?
Franklin is my husband
Really
Is that his loft, then?
He owns it, yes
- Do you live with him? - No He's in Turkey
I stayed with my husband for three days I was very young when I got married
My husband was a movie freak
Actually, he was particularly obsessed with one movie:
The Wizard of Oz
He talked about it constantly
I thought it was cute at first
On our wedding night, I was a virgin
When we made love You've seen the film, haven't you?
The Wizard of Oz? Yeah, I've seen it
Well, when we made love
whenever he
you know, when he came
he would just
scream out "Surrender Dorothy!"
- That's all Just "Surrender Dorothy!" - Wow
I know Instead of moaning or saying "Oh, God" or something normal like that
I mean, it was pretty creepy And I told him I thought so
but he just couldn't stop He just couldn't stop
He
He said he didn't even realize it was happening
He just couldn't stop
So I just broke the whole thing off
I'm sorry
I guess I'm really putting you through the mill tonight
It's okay I'm used to it
You know, I still love him very much
In fact, we write each other every day
Naturally, I don't like to talk about it
- Could we have the check? - It's on the house
- Really? - Sure, what the hell
Different rules apply this late, know what I mean? It's like after-hours
- Thanks, Peter - Sure, Marcy Have a good evening
- No - It's okay It's
Do you want me to go?
The pill makes me sick
Everything makes you sick, Marcy
The guys gave it to me
Oh, my

- So how about that joint? - Yeah
- Good idea - Great
What type of pot is this?

The guy who sold it to me said it was

Would you give me a goddamn token?!
No, goddamn it! I can't give you a token Those tokens are $ 150
I can't sell them for 97 cents We'd lose money that way

My name is Paul Hackett I'm in SoHo I don't know the exact location
I'm being persecuted by a vigilante mob
I'm sure you're aware of their actions
Now, I have every reason in the world to believe that my life is in serious danger
Now, evidently, there's a series of robberies
that are being conducted in this neighborhood
- Just get some sleep, buddy - And
Hello? Hello?
Hello?
I don't believe you
Oh, my
I'm sorry I wonder
could I just crash out on your couch for a couple hours?
I am just beat
- Why don't you just go home - Pal
I've been asking myself that one all night long
So? So, what happened? Why can't you?
All right
I met this girl tonight, okay, in a coffee shop
She gave me her phone number So when I got home, I gave her a call
She said to come over In the cab, all my money flew out the window
Then I got to know this girl and I didn't get along with her well
It didn't work out, so I left
I tried to take a subway tonight The fare went up Did you know that?
- Yes - You knew that?
I didn't know anything about that
I haven't got enough money to get home until I meet a bartender
a nice guy who wanted to lend me money
I mean, he really wanted to give me the money
I mean, they'd actually purchased this piece of work here
I didn't know anything about that
She's also pissed off at me, and for this I don't blame her
for the way I treated her friend Inexcusable
So I march in there to apologize, but she'd already killed herself
I was too late
And he was about to give me the money when all of a sudden his phone rang
His girlfriend killed herself tonight
Is that a coincidence? No, because the same girl
who I came downtown to see was dead too
That's because they're the same person They're both dead
I couldn't believe that
He didn't know that I came down to, you know his girlfriend
because he would have taken my face and he would have smashed it
Luckily, there was this girl, who saw everything, who let me use her phone
Really nice about it too Let me use the phone That was it
Just use it Pick it up and put it down Up and down
Now she's the one in the ice cream truck who's trying to kill me!
They're all trying to kill me I just wanted to leave my apartment
maybe meet a nice girl And now I've gotta die for it!
That's the girl That is Julie That's her Look
Julie! Julie, it's me!
What are you doing? Come here

- Can he get a glass of water? - You gotta tell them
Tell them it's not my fault I didn't do it I didn't do it
You've gotta make things clearer to me
I just got back from the morgue I'm not thinking too straight
Listen There's an angry mob that wants to kill me
because they think I'm robbing apartments
