Honey, could you... could you just put your hand up there?

Now hold it. That's right, because...

Yeah?

What? Oh.

When'd you get back in town?

Uh-huh. Yeah?

Where are you staying?

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

Is she still in the same place?

Uh-huh.

Okay. Well, listen.

Uh, why don't you... I-I'll call you tomorrow?

Or... Hey, why don't you come by the shop and say hello?

Okay.

Okay. Bye.

- -

I don't know why you bother with them at all.

Tell them you're sleeping and hang up.

- Uh, I... I c... - Hmm?

This girl has problems, you know.

- You know what your problem is? - What?

- You know too many sick ladies. - Oh, yeah?

- Yeah. Particularly in your business. -

Don't worry... honey.

'Cause I'm gonna protect ya.

- Oh? - Yeah.

Oh, look what I found.

Oh. Well...

- Shit. -

Yeah?

Uh, yeah, yeah.

Uh-huh.

- - What do you mean?

No, I...

Okay, all r... Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

I just don't know why you don't get yourself an answering service.

- All right. -

What are you doing?

Um... looking for my keys.

Hmm?

Keys?

I thought you said you weren't going anywhere.

I'm not. I just gotta see this friend of mine for a few minutes.

- What are you talking about? -

It's one of those girls, isn't it? You're going to see one of those girls.

What girl? She's not a girl. She's just a friend of mine.

Wait!

At least wait till I'm dressed, because I'm going too.

- Aw... -

Oh, Christ. Get me a Kleenex.

Look, Felicia, I-I won't be long.

- Listen, you're great, baby, believe me. - Thanks a lot.

It's just that this girl's different, you know. She has attacks.

- What attacks? - These attacks.

It's got something to do with her, uh, pancreas or...

Uh, I don't know... She's got a...

- Pancreatic ulcer? - Yeah. Yeah. I think so.

- That's very serious. - I know.

- Who's her doctor? - I don't know.

- That's very serious. - I know.

- Ruth Lesserman had a pancreatic ulcer. - She did?

- It turned out to be a cancer. - Wow.

So what are you going for, George? You're not a doctor.

No, no. I gotta give her some pills.

Uh, Percodan. She ran out.

Look, Felicia.

- I want your ass in this bed when I get back. - You do?

- Yes. - You're very weird, George.

Mmm, baby. But you're great, baby. Believe me, you are great. Really.

- Why don't you take this off? - Hmm.

- - Ouch!

Jesus Christ. Goddamn it.

Oh, shit.

- Who is it? - Who do you think it is?

Oh.

- Honey. - Yeah?

- Don't yell at me. - I'm not yelling.

- There were some shots. - What are you talking about?

Gunshots. Some gunshots.

- Where? - Here.

In the canyon.

Well, it's a big canyon, honey.

So what?

A bullet can probably go miles.

- Why do you leave me alone like this? - Come on.

I've been running all over town,

trying to find out what they're going to ask me at the bank tomorrow.

- You were home. Why didn't you call me? - They shut off the phone.

I can't make outgoing calls. Just breathe, honey.

Sometimes I get this terrible feeling...

that something awful's gonna happen.

Like what?

Well, I don't know. Like...

Like somebody's gonna get me.

Yeah?

I've had these dreams lately.

- What dreams? - Well...

They're dumb, but, uh,

somebody gets me,

and they throw me around the room, and I try to run away,

but they grab me and tie me down.

- Then what? - Then I wake up.

Uh-huh.

Well, I don't know.

I-I figure if somebody's gonna get you,

it's, uh... you know, it's probably gonna be me.

- Oh! No! -

No! No.

How are you, baby? Huh?

How are you?

Hmm.

- -

Where were you?

I'm great, honey. Fantastic.

I really couldn't... couldn't be better.

- I mean, I'm really incredible. - No.

- Incredible. I mean... - No, where were you?

Huh?

I'm getting it together, baby. I'm gonna open up the shop.

- Really? - Yep.

You know, right now I am at the epitome of my life.

- Yeah, well, what happened tonight? - I don't want to talk about it now, honey.

But, you know, I've been disgusted with my life.

But you just said you were at the epitome of your life.

I am. I am.

Till I get Norman off my ass, you know...

When I got six guys cutting hair for me, then I... You know.

I mean, after a while women can get to be an occupational hazard.

What do you mean, "occupational hazard"?

You know, as long as I'm working in that shop, I'm always gonna be doing too many heads.

- What about me? - What about you?

- You're different. - I am?

You're great.

- Do you really mean that? - Hey.

I'm gonna retire with you.

- Honey. - Yeah?

Why am I great?

Jesus, I don't know. You're great.

I don't know. I just...

- You know what I read in Cosmopolitan? -

That if you don't have a baby before you're 30, you're gonna have a Mongolian idiot.

- Here, take it! - Oh! Up against the wall!

- George? - Bullshit.

Well, maybe you don't even like children.

- Never even been around one. - Hey.

I'm around you and I like you, don't I?

- Huh? - Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Good night, honey.

- George? - What?

Jackie says she wouldn't bring children into this world,

that it's overpopulated and hypocritical.

Uh-huh.

Uh, could we talk about this in the morning?

- -

Jesus, let me show you something.

Six... Six and three-quarters.

- That's our prime rate. - Really?

And I'll tell you something else.

- The big boys are going for it. - Are they?

Do you know where FHA is?

- FHA? FHA? - Just t-take a guess.

- Just take a guess where they're at. -

Well, seven and a half.

- Wow. - Wow, indeed.

We won't be going back to the old days anymore.

- Yeah. - And it's got nothing to do with inflation.

Rates rise independently of tight money.

Uh...

What... What sort of, uh, references do you have, Mr., uh, Roundy?

Ref... Reference? Uh...

Yeah. Uh, I do Barbara Rush.

You do what?

Her hair. I do Barbara Rush.

S-See, I was talking about, uh, credit references and...
