Two Lovers

Leonard...

I love you,

but I have to go.

I have to.

Oh!

- Help! - Hey! Hey, come here, man.

You all right, man?

- Should we call an ambulance? - I don't know.

Just get... get him down. Watch out, watch out!

- He swallowed a lot of water. - Sit him up!

- Sit him up. - Sit him up.

- Go! - Get him on his back.

I'll try C.P.R.

Stop!

Are you all right? You all right?

What happened there?

I fell in the water.

No, he didn't! I saw him.

- He jumped. - Breathe, breathe.

What are you talking about? I fell in the water.

- He just jumped in. - Come on, I gotta go!

Just take it easy, man. Where you going?

Where you going?

You gotta wait for the cops, man.

Hey!

Hey, buddy, you even gonna thank the guy who just saved your life?

Huh?

This guy right here... he just saved your life.

Oh. Thank you.

Jesus.

Hey, ain't that the guy that works over at the, uh,

the dry-cleaner on Neptune Avenue?

Maybe. But he doesn't look too dry to me now.

Douchebag.

From New York 1 News,

This is "New York Tonight."

Hello?

I was beginning to think you weren't going to make it.

We're having guests for dinner tonight.

What... what happened?

Huh?

You're all wet.

I fell into the bay.

It's cold... mom, come on, stop. I'm fine.

- You fell into the bay? - It's not gonna happen again.

- Don't worry. - Leonard.

It was an accident. Can I change, please?

Reuben!

Mom, I'm fine! I'm fine.

What is the matter?

I think he tried again.

He said he fell in the bay.

Leonard?

I think he forgot his medication this morning.

Leonard?

Listen... the man who wants to buy our business

is coming over tonight with his family.

Let's cancel that.

No, they're almost here.

Look, if he still has this bipolar problem,

he just has to take his pills.

It would be nice if you joined us, okay?

'Cause we want you to join us.

Okay.

Stupid, stupid.

Hi, how are you? Oh, enjoy.

Thank you!

- Hi. - Hello.

I hope we're not late. The directions were perfect.

- It smells good. - How you feeling?

Good, thank you.

Good. You remember my wife Carol.

Hi, nice to see you again.

- Thank you so much. - And these are my kids...

...David, my son.

David. My beautiful daughter Sandra.

Oh thanks, Dad. Pleased to meet you.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Down at the end of the hallway.

Hey, hey, David, what you got?

Ohh!

David, say thank you.

All right. Come inside. Let me take your coats.

Yeah, take the coats.

- This is a beautiful place. - Yeah, you like it?

It's so nostalgic... it's like the place I grew up in.

Eat what you'd like. Okay.

- They're not baked. - They taste like baked.

Okay.

My wife... my princess... is in the kitchen getting dinner ready.

She'll be right out. Anyway, help yourself.

It's homemade hummus. I did it.

- Oh! - Yeah.

Mmm, terrific! Terrific!

- Ooh! - This is my son Leonard.

- How you doing? - Leonard? Michael Cohen.

- How do you do? - Nice to meet you.

My wife Carol, my daughter Sandra.

- Hi, how you doing? - Hi.

- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you.

...Not from the Catskills.

The Catskills that we were talking about

Is like the slums of the Catskills.

- Which part? Which part? - South Fallsburg, Loch Sheldrake.

- Which is more west? - Kiamesha. Kiamesha.

- Is it more west than... - We met at the Catskills.

Just in time for the flies.

- You were very... - And you were the prettiest one.

I paid him to say that.

35 years ago in the Catskills.

Please don't make me older.

- Hey, you like magic? - Yeah.

You ever heard of the melting spoon?

No.

It's really cool.

Now they put so many things in your path.

I mean, all the inspections and all of the licensing

and all the... the different technology... the machines.

It's amazing you can run a business.

You know, my son's been working with me a little

since he's been back.

You know? I don't know how much he likes it, but...

What about it, Lenny? Do you like it?

Do you like the dry-cleaning business?

It's all right, you know? It's good to help out the family.

He's a good photographer... I'll tell you that.

- Really? - Yes. Yes, yes.

Yeah, I gave him an old camera

and now all he does... he takes pictures all over the place.

Really?

Beautiful black-and-white photos.

- Black and white. - Thanks, Mom.

Yes, they are beautiful photos.

- Carol? - Yes?

- Do you know what I'm thinking right... - I know what you're thinking.

Listen, I have a little proposition.

- Mmm, here we go. - No, no.

We have... we have a bar mitzvah.

David's bar mitzvah is coming up next week.

Oh, and of course you're all invited.

- You're invited. - Oh, thank you.

- Oh, yeah. - But we have a photographer,

and he's taking the color shots and he's taking the slides and the set-ups,

but my wife, the artistic one,

she wants the black and white.

- Yes, we do. - Lenny?

Do you think you'd be interested in doing something like that?

Oh, I don't know about that.

- I mean, I... - Why not?

I don't... I don't really do impromptu things.

- I mean... - Oh, try. You'll see what happens.

I'd love to see his stuff...

just check it out a little bit. Do you think I could?

Okay.

I'll show you some.

Leonard, why don't you show Sandra your pictures?

I don't know if... you want to see that now?

Yeah, I'd love to see them.

'Kay. Come on.

I tell him all the time but he gets angry at me.

- Report back. - I'll call you for dessert.

Eh?

I wasn't expecting visitors.

Yeah, you've got a lot of stuff in here.

Yeah.

I wasn't planning on being home for so long, so...

I gotta organize this place. I don't know what the fuck.

Oh, when... when did you get back?

Uh, about four months ago.

Mmm.

What are we doing? Oh, yeah... pictures.

You can sit down if you want.

Okay.

- Let's see. - You have a lot of DVDs.

Yeah. You like movies?

Yeah, I love movies.

Yeah? Like what? What do you like?

Well, my favorite movie is probably...

"The Sound of Music."

Not because of the film, really,

but because, you know, whenever it's on,

my family always watches it. It's that kind of thing.

No, that's a good movie. It's underrated.

Yeah.

Can I look at these?

Yeah, those are-- that's a good pile.

This is the garbage pile.

Oh, these are nice.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, this one I like. Look at it.

This one's nice too.

But you don't have any people in them really.

Yeah, well, you know.

People look at 'em... they don't have to be in 'em too.

I like this one.

Thanks. Gotta be in the moment.

So what-- what do you do?

I work at Pfizer in the city... it's a drug company.

Yeah, I know it well.

I have some ones with some people in it.
