Spellbinder

I'm going by you.

Tim. Tim. Tim. Tim!

Switch.

Yeah!

Get it, get it. Here we go.

Check it. Good shot, man.

Come on, check it. Hey, wake up.

I got it. Underneath. Underneath!

- Look out! - Oh!

Aww... yeah, two!

I like it. Come on, herbie, suck it up.

Right here, right here. Right here. Here we go.

You'll never make it. Go ahead.

Slowing down for an old man, huh?

Going to the hoop. He's got nothing.

Stick him, jeff. Stick him.

Rebound.

I got it.

Way to go, jeff. Right here.

A little two on two takes your mind off work.

I'll be up all night thinking about my back.

What about our bet, huh?

How about pj's for a couple of brews?

Not me, I'm out of here.

Come on, couple drinks to ease the pain.

Which one?

Pain of living, ace. Pain of living.

What I need tonight is a bed and a bathtub. I'm going home.

So, is anybody coming with me or what?

I guess I'll take a rain check.

Me, too.

Hey, so what about lunch?

Are you buying?

Are you kidding?

Good night. I'll see you tomorrow.

All right, take care.

Good night, herbie. Good night.

Good night.

Hey, I'm sorry about your back.

Hey, life's a bitch.

How's diane?

What happened this time?

Oh, I don't know. I couldn't talk to her.

She didn't know the difference between bach and the rolling stones.

I thought you were more of the jazz type.

Metaphorically speaking, einstein.

Okay, then what's the real problem?

No...

honestly... yeah.

I don't know.

I'm tired of every day being a disappointment.

Sounds like you need a weekend in palm springs.

It's getting to be that time of year again.

- Thanksgiving. - Stop touching me!

Leave me alone.

I can get us invited over to the bronsons' for some tennis.

Remember last time?

No, no, no.

Listen to me when I talk to you!

Don't yell at me.

That's what I call true love.

So what about palm springs?

Hey, get away from her! Stay out of this.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Are you all right?

Get up, miranda.

Miranda...

it's time to go.

I don't think she's going anywhere with you.

You don't know what you're getting into, friend.

Oh, you're scaring us.

I think you'd better back off.

We're going now.

Hey, hey, come on.

No!

You'd better think of the consequences.

Leave me alone!

Look, you heard her. She doesn't want to be with you.

Let's go.

Go back! Shit!

A prophecy, my brother.

You will regret this for as long as you live.

It's all right.

He's gone. It's over.

Thank you.

Are you all right?

Yeah, he barely got me.

Here, put this on it.

It's okay.

Listen, who was that guy anyway?

You have a car here? You have a way home?

No.

Uh, I'll take her.

Do you mind if I ask what that was all about?

I'd rather not think about it.

I'm miranda reed.

Jeff mills.

You think it'd be a good idea if you told me where you live?

You do want to go home, don't you?

I don't have a home. Not anymore. I've been living with aldys.

You mean that guy in the parking lot?

He's not always that bad.

Sometimes he's worse.

I can imagine.

If you could just take me to a motel...

look, it's been quite a night.

Are you sure you want to be alone?

I mean, you're welcome to stay at my place if you want to.

Really, seriously, I'll sleep on the couch.

Hey, pal. How are you?

This is goliath. Hi, goliath.

That's davey.

Oh, I'm sorry about this mess.

They're mad at you for coming home so late.

They are?

It's in their eyes.

You could see it, too, if you knew what to look for.

Tom scott?

Yeah.

Can I get you something?

Orange juice, beer, something to eat? Ice cream?

No, thanks.

Is that a palanza?

Yeah.

Do you like it?

It's interesting.

Oh, and a donnelly.

Oh, I've had that for ages.

It's the first piece of art I ever bought.

What do I know?

Here.

How do you know so much about I. A. Artists?

I grew up here, and I've always wanted to paint.

Is that what you do?

Well, I'm trying.

Actually, I had a couple of paintings in the last venice art walk.

Really? I'm impressed.

You're alone.

No brothers, no sisters,

your parents are gone now.

An automobile accident. You have a scar.

They were killed six years ago.

You do something with the law.

Policeman? No.

A lawyer.

You've never been in love.

You're not sure you ever will be.

How do you do that?

It's a gift.

Some people, I can just tell things.

Miranda... shh.

I really want to thank you for all that you did for me tonight.

You already thanked me.

No, I haven't.

You're in a lot of pain.

Ah, well, usually a hot bath...

I can heal you.

Lie down.

Turn over.

I feel better already.

Shh.

Oh, god, that was incredible.

The pain is completely gone.

Davey?

Goliath?

Are you okay?

Yeah.

Don't. I like that song.

You know, you're welcome to stay here today.

If you want.

I've got a lot of old movies on tape.

Some great books, music...

so then, she takes both hands

and she presses them into this spot on my lower back.

I feel this intense burning sensation for about a second,

then I was fine.

So your back was actually healed?

Completely. That's unbelievable.

Hey, tim, you know, I've had this pain lately, right here.

Yeah, right, sure. Right here.

This case is killing me. What did I miss, guys?

The details of jeff's latest conquest.

Yeah, so what happened?

You did sleep with her after all that, didn't you?

Huh? Well...

come on. Yeah.

That's my boy. What happened?

That's all we did.

What do you mean, that's all you did?

Jeff, no. I don't... where is she now?

She was sleeping when I left.

She... oh, jeff...

wait a minute. Let me get this straight.

You left this chick alone in your house?

Say good-bye to your stereo and tv, pal.

Come on, herbie, you don't know what you're talking about.

Look, I gotta run.

But I wish I could see the look on your face when you get home tonight.

See ya. See ya later, guys.

So long, herbie. Don't listen to him.
