Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her

The manager let her into the apartment early this morning.

She'd been out all night and lost her keys.

He said she moved in a couple weeks ago.

Hello?

Yes, this is Dr. Keener.

Who's this?

Hi.

Yes.

Yes. Could you come by today?

Anytime's fine.

I'll see you at 2:00.

Hi. Is Dr. Rosen in?

This is Dr. Keener.

Okay. No, I'll call him back.

I'm not in my office today.

Thank you. Uh, actually, would you give him the message?

Dr. Keener.

He has my number.

Thank you. Would you happen to know what time he'll be back?

No. Okay. Yeah.

No, of course. Of course.

Thank you. Bye-bye.

Hello. Dr. Rosen, please. This is Dr. Keener.

Thank you.

Hello.

Oh, no. It's okay. I'll call him back later.

Thank you. Yes.

Bye-bye.

Hi. I'm Christine Taylor.

I'm...

We spoke earlier. I'm Debbie's friend.

Yes. Come in.

Have you ever consulted the cards before?No.

Oh, somebody once read my palm.

Which one?

Uh, the left.

Mmm.

Both hands are really necessary to do a proper reading.

Oh. We were just fooling around.

Didn't really...

I think you're gonna like the cards.

Was there anything in particular that you wanna talk about?

No.

Okay, well, I'll just do a general outlook,

and then if you have any specific questions, you can ask me at the end.

All right.

You're a Scorpio.

Yes.Okay.

Are you ready?

Okay, um, go ahead and pick ten cards.

You're not happy.

You're good at pretending that everything in your life is good,

and you give off a great sense of security and self-confidence, but...

You're not satisfied.

You don't know yourself well.

You're restless and unsettled.

You're a great pretender.

You've been married,

but you're presently divorced or separated.

You like to give the impression that you're happy to be by yourself,

but in reality, you're mortified that your marriage failed.

You believe it's your fault that it failed, and...

It may be so.

Regret in that area has caused you a great deal of pain.

You don't have any lifelong friends.

The friends you have you made while you were married,

and you weren't close to them.

They were mostly your husband's friends.

Some of them wanted to be close to you,

but they felt that you were inaccessible...

Or that you were aloof.

And you're very secretive.

And you don't trust easily.

And when you do let someone in, you later regret it,

or resent them.

I think that you feel that sooner or later everyone is a disappointment.

You can be assertive and hands-on, especially in a crisis.

But I think you live in constant fear of tragedy.

You're very, very afraid of change.

You've met a man?

At work?

Or related to work that you're very taken with?

Maybe you're even obsessed with him.

But I don't think he's affectionate.

And he's not someone who is easy to get to know intimately.

And you should be careful about misunderstandings

because you have a tendency to become quickly infatuated, and then...

You get embarrassedor depressed

because things didn't turn out the way you expected them to.

You're a daydreamer.

to set yourself up for falls.

You should let me know if we're moving in the right direction.

It's possible we could take a wrong turn

and get lost, especially since it's our first time.

You're... Let's go on.

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hi. I'm fine. How are you? Can I call you back?

All right. Bye-bye.

Yes. Yes, of course. Good-bye.

Lately I've had the feeling that my, uh, life is going to change.

It's a very strong feeling.

Can you see that?

I've been having dreams.

What kind of dreams?

If there's bad news, I don't want you to tell me.

I'm sorry. There's usually a nurse, but she had to take the day off.

Just tell me about this year.

Well, um...

Hmm. You seem to be very concerned with finding a man.

Someone who you can depend on.

Somebody who you can share your life with.

And there is a man who will be interested in you.

The man you mentioned before?

The one at work?

No, this is somebody you've never met.

A younger man.

Well, the man at work is younger than I am.

A couple of years.

He's...

Tall.

Fair skin.

Has brown eyes.

No.

You sure it's not somebody I already know?

This is a new man.

You know, Dr. Keener, none of this is written in stone.

I mean, these are your cards today, but...

Nothing happens without you.

Good night, princess.

What time is it?

It's a quarter to 2:00.

I'm gonna leave before I turn into a pumpkin.

Susan, good morning.Good morning.

Hey.

Hi, this is Rebecca Weyman. Can Debbie see me today?

Uh-huh.

Yeah, okay. I'll be there. Thanks.

Do you have a cigarette for us?No.

Are you waiting for someone?No.

So what are you doing standing here smoking like a whore?

You're not a whore, are you?No.

So what are you?

I work here.

Are you a teller? Do you handle the money?

I'm the bank manager.

If you're the manager, why can't you smoke inside?

There's no smoking inside.

What good is it then to be the boss?

I don't know.

I robbed a bank once.

A long time ago when my husband and I came out here,

we tried to rob a bank in Glendale.

It was a joke.

He almost got himself killed.

But we got away. No money, though.

We couldn't get our hands on any money.

What does your husband do?

Or doesn't he work? Is he a kept man?

I don't have a husband.

Of course you do.I'm not married.

Show me your ring finger.

Are you a lesbian? No.

Are you?Do I look like a lesbian?

Did you study to become a bank manger?

Or does Daddy own the bank? Is that it?

Daddy owns it?

No, I trained with the bank.

Ooh! I bet that training included things you'd be too ashamed to talk about.

Like what?You tell me.

I'm sure you had to do all sorts of things to get to the top.

That's the second time you've called me a whore.

I wanna walk away with the rest of your cigarettes.

You can send one of your assistants to buy you more.

You have men working under you?

Yes.Send them.

They'll hate you for it.

But they'll jack off Just thinkin' about you, anyway.

Thank you for your time.

Have a nice day.

You haven't told me your name.

Nancy.

Rebecca. I need you to sign these.

I'm taking a long lunch. Cover for me?Sure.

Do you think the men in the bank resent that a woman is in charge?

I'm okay with it.

And the others?

I haven't heard anything. It's mostly women in here, anyway.

If they weren't okay with it, would it matter?

Do you think they have sexual fantasies about me?
