- Jules, you mean to tell me---

- Stop, stop, stop, stop,

listen to me.

Listen to me,

you cannot say my name.

Terry is directly

across the hall, okay?.

He's in the room

right across the hall.

So we just need to relax.

We can do this.

Yeah?.

We can do this.

It's Terry,

for God sakes.

- Oh, sh*t.

Of course you pick a room

on the fifth f***ing floor.

- Got to call the police.

- Sh*t.

F***.

What are you doing?.

- No, no, no, no, no.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

No.

No police.

- Why not?.

- We call the police,

they will know everything.

They will know about us,

and he will know it's me.

Sh*t.

All right, this is him.

This is him.

Listen, let me talk to him.

Okay, let me talk to him.

I can talk to him, okay?.

- Let me try.

- Shh.

I'm ordering Chinese?.

Sorry, man.

It's about to start.

- F***.

Sh*t.

Terry, what the f***

is going on, man?.

- I sent her over

a surprise, man.

Let her know I didn't forget.

I could never forget.

I could never forget.

Listen, you have

to get that.

- No.

- You have to get that.

June, June, listen to me.

- I'm not going over there.

- We just need to

buy some more time.

Terry wants to get

talked out of it.

- It's on mute.

Terry wants to be

talked out of this,

but you have

to buy some time, okay?.

I need you to play along.

Just play along, please.

- Room service.

- Listen to me.

The guy at the door.

- Yeah.

- That guy

is the porter, okay?.

I just need you

to talk to him.

Can you do that

for me?.

I will keep Terry on the phone,

I promise you.

I'll keep him talking.

I'll be right here for you.

I'll be right in that room.

Can you do that?.

- Get in the room

and shut the door.

- You can do this.

- Keep him on the phone.

- Julian?.

Jules?.

- Yeah, Terry.

Terry, I am here, man.

I'm here.

Is everything okay?.

- They're not answering

the door, man.

Why ain't they

answering the door?.

Terry, you need

to calm the f*** down,

do you hear me?.

- I got to get a look

at the son of a b*tch.

I got to see this guy.

- No, no, no, Terry,

you stop, stop.

Terry, you get

away from that door.

Do you hear me?.

- I don't know, Jules.

I think maybe I'm gonna

shoot someone.

- Come on, man,

you f***ing promised me.

- Christ.

- Come on out, you f***er.

- Hello?.

- I'm sorry

to disturb you, miss.

But...

Chilled.

- Terry.

- So beautiful.

- Terry?.

- I don't think

we ordered that.

- It's already been

paid for, miss.

You need only

sign for it.

- Sign for it.

- Yes, miss.

- Okay, Terry, Terry, Terry,

listen to me.

Here's what

we're gonna do, man.

I want you to get

out of that room.

I want you to

go downstairs,

and I want you to wait

for me in the lobby, all right?.

I'm a couple minutes away.

I-I'll get there, man,

and we will get

the hell out of there

and go get ourselves some

real drinks, all right?.

Terry, come on, man,

listen to me.

- Just tell me

what I did wrong.

- Terry, you didn't

do anything wrong, man.

You didn't do

anything wrong, okay?.

Everything is fine.

- Why'd she stop loving me?.

- F***.

Come on, man, Terry.

Snap the f*** out of it, man.

Don't do this.

- It's one of

our finest bottles.

A very good vintage.

We try to serve

only the best

here at the Riverview.

- Terry.

F***.

- I hope that you're

happy with your tip.

- Thank you, miss.

But I don't do it for the...

tips.

- Okay.

Okay.

Put that on.

Come on, Terry.

Come on, Terry.

- Hello?.

- All right, now.

Go, go, go, go.

- Come on.

Answer the phone, Jules.

Come on.

Come on, Jules.

- Hey. Hey.

You got to get out

of the hall.

- Come here.

- Sorry?.

- You have to

get out of the hall.

It's not safe here.

- 302.

Anna.

- What is this?.

- It's just---

it's not safe, okay?.

Just trust me.

- Let go of my hand.

- Come on.

- Let go of me.

Hey.

- Anna.

- Julian?.

Are you here by yourself?.

- Julian, what are you doing?.

- Do you have a boyfriend

or somebody here with you?.

- No, I told you,

I'm here on business.

Julian.

- And you haven't

left the room?.

- No.

Julian, what is wrong?.

- Sit down, sit down.

Listen to me, please.

I need your help, okay?.

I need us to be

together right now.

- Just like that?.

- No, no, no, no,

I don't mean that.

I just mean if someone

were to ask,

I just need you to say

that we were together tonight.

- Well, Julian,

who would be asking?.

- Anna, nobody's asking.

I'm just saying

that if someone were to ask,

that you would tell them

we were together tonight.

But not here;,

it can't be here.

It's got to be

someplace else, you know?.

Like my place.

- Julian, you're not

making any sense.

Listen, what---

- Okay, Listen,

listen, listen, listen.

I f***ed up, okay?.

I f***ed up bad.

You were right.

- Right about what?.

- I should have gotten off

the elevator with you.

I mean, I never should've been

on the elevator

in the first place.

- Oh, and what then?.

- Listen to me.

I can explain this.

I promise

I can explain everything,

and I will.

I will explain

everything to you.

But I just need you

to do this for me, please.

Hey.

Will you do that for me?.

- All right.

- Yeah?.

All right.

Thank you.

Come here,

come here.

Come here.

I'm sorry.

What?.

- Who are you here with?.

- Anna, come on,

don't do this.

- Do I know her?.

Is it June?.

Julian.

- Anna, listen to me.

She called, okay?.

- Of all the places...

- No, no, no, listen.

- You could go,

you had to bring her here?.

- You don't understand, okay?.

- You son of a b*tch.

- You don't understand.

- You're f***ing your

best friend's girlfriend,

and now you are asking

for my help?.

- That is not what happened.

- Julian, get the f***

out of my room.

- I just need you

to trust me on this.

- Julian, I can smell her

all over you.

Get out.

- Anna.

Anna, come on.

- Terry, what are you doing?.

- I'm gonna show you, June.

Do you love him?.

- Terry, what are you doing?.

- Do you f***ing love him?.

- Terry, Terry, Terry.

This guy has nothing

to do with it.

- Look, don't do that

to me, June.

All right?.

Don't you f***ing stand there

and keep on lying to me.

- I'm not lying.

It's not---

It's not him.

- Finally got one.

- Ah!

- Hey, want to

turn that thing off for me?.

- Oh.

- Listen to me, please.

I have to tell you the truth.

- The truth?.

June.

It's right here

in front of us.

- He didn't do

anything wrong.

- It's right here

in front of us,

right here to see.

- All right,

she'll be all right.
