American Gigolo Page #6

A cute little blond kid.

I think he's over there someplace.

- Okay, thanks.

- Yeah.

Hey, Julie! I thought that was you.

Homecoming?

I've been looking for you. I wanna talk.

Let's go out back where it's quiet.

Okay.

What're you doing here?

You coming from a funeral?

I hear you're showing off

a new boy here, Leon.

Got to make sure none of these fruits

snatch him from me, too.

You heard anything

about the Rheiman killing?

That's all I've been hearing about.

Cops on my ass like white on rice.

They're giving me

the third degree, Leon.

Everybody else, too, Julie.

I may need your help.

I don't have an alibi.

You're the one that sent me.

You need one?

Yeah.

I'll see what I can do.

Who do you think killed her?

Well, if I was the police, I'd be more

interested in Rheiman himself.

He's a freak, you know?

Yeah, he's a freak. But he's got an alibi.

An alibi?

Hey, Julie.

I got something working tonight.

Little thing, you know.

I thought I'd cut you in on it.

If you're interested, let me know.

Straight?

At this time of night? Are you serious?

Leon, I'm sick of doing your sh*t.

I mean, I'm sick of it! No more fag stuff.

No more kink. Nothing. Finito. Got it?

I heard about your problems.

What problems?

Your clientele, Julie. Your rich p*ssy.

They won't touch you. Say it's too hot.

They're looking for new boys.

F*** them! F*** them!

Hey, Julie, listen.

You ask me

to help you out of a tight spot.

I'm glad to do it.

But I ask you to do my trick,

you tell me no.

Well, how do you expect me

to help you?

You give me the alibi,

and then we'll talk about tricks.

I have to talk to you.

Hey, baby! Oh, God!

I'm glad to see you!

You okay? You better be.

You look so worn out.

I didn't get much sleep.

- You wanna go for a walk?

- Yeah.

Okay, let me get my shoes.

What's wrong?

Are you gonna tell me about it?

Hey!

Hey! You.

Come on. Tell me.

When I said I didn't want

to make love to you the other day,

I didn't mean it.

I want to f*** you.

I always want to f*** you.

Is that what you came to tell me?

No.

Charles asked me

to leave for two months.

Till the primaries are over.

I'm going to Rome.

Two months.

I'll be back! Wait for me.

I don't know if I can.

- The police searched my apartment...

- Maybe Charles could help.

Don't... That's not what I'm saying!

I don't know what I'm saying.

All my life I've been

looking for something.

I don't even know what it is.

- Let me do it...

- Maybe you're what I'm looking for.

I gave Charles my word.

I've got to go.

It'll be all right.

Yeah.

I have to leave.

Sh*t!

I don't know where he is.

I haven't seen him since yesterday.

- Tell me.

- I don't know. Honest. I'd tell you.

The police have been here all morning.

His room's a mess.

There's another cop waiting in his room.

- Does he call in?

- I'm not supposed to tell.

Okay, next time he calls in,

tell him that I've got to talk to him.

Tell him it's important.

Ask him if there's someplace

I can meet him.

Do you know a blond kid

that hangs around

with Leon James?

Nah. Couldn't tell you.

Eat sh*t, a**hole.

Anne, I'm sorry.

I've got to talk to you.

I can't now. I'm looking for somebody.

Perino's? Look, I don't have time! I...

Yeah, all right. All right. Perino's.

Yes. 8:
30.

Jill? It's Julian.

Yeah, I know, I know.

Got some messages for me?

Michelle?

Tell her to meet me at Perino's.

Son of a b*tch, it's Rheiman.

Mr Julian! You can't come in like this.

I was working. I forgot my tie.

- I'll have to give you a jacket.

- No, it's okay.

Julie. You look like sh*t. What's wrong?

Everything. Straight bourbon.

What're you doing to yourself?

The way you look now,

you couldn't get a maid to f*** you!

Anne, I need your help.

The cops are after me.

They're framing me

for the Rheiman murder.

Where have you been?

- I was looking for somebody.

- Last night?

- What do you mean?

- Mrs Vakklar.

She came in last night

on a flight from Stockholm.

And she only speaks Swedish.

Nobody could understand her

and there was no one there to meet her.

- Anne...

- She was furious!

The auto people are furious.

Now I've got hell to pay!

Now what happened?

Didn't you prepare?

Didn't you hear me?

I said the cops are after me!

For murder!

So, you stand me up?

Jesus Christ.

What do you want?

Are you gonna help me?

I've checked around, Julie.

You are in trouble!

That's why I need your help.

You never did anything for me.

I never did anything for you...

What are you talking about?

I'm your number one boy!

And you fight me every turn.

You ask a favour, and then stand up

a gig I worked for six months to set up!

I explained that already. I told you.

I'm through with you, Julie.

You'll have to fend for yourself.

I don't care

what happens to you any more.

Excuse me. I'll be back in a second.

Julian. Thank God you got my message.

I've been looking for you all day.

It's all right, baby. It's okay.

No. No, it's not all right.

Charles talked to the D.A.

They've found the murder weapon.

They're gonna arrest you.

That can't be.

What're you gonna do?

I don't know.

What can I do to help you?

- There's nothing you can do.

- There's gotta be something.

Don't you understand?

I am in big trouble!

- Just stay away from me!

- No!

It's gonna be a scandal.

You know what a scandal is?

You know what that's like?

Just stay away from me.

I'll ruin your life.

Your husband's. It's all over.

Not if you're innocent.

If I'm innocent?

How do you know I'm innocent?

- But you are...

- Look at me, right in the face!

Can you tell me, without hesitation,

you know I'm innocent?

Yes.

- You see... Forget me.

- Is someone in there?

I never loved you.

- Julie.

- Let me in. It's important.

Julie, you look terrible.

Hey, listen, you wanna clean up?

Get a shave?

I'm sorry to bug you

this time of the morning.

I've been looking for you.

I'm listening.

You got my alibi ready?

I'm gonna need it today.

It's not ready yet, Julie. Tomorrow.

I'm still piecing it together.

It's not easy, you know.

I'm just trying, you know, to get it right.

- Why are you trying to frame me?

- What're you talking about?

Judy Rheiman's murder.

You're behind it.

You, Rheiman,

your cute little blond boyfriend

in the bedroom there.

The one who planted the jewels

in my car!

I don't know what you're talking about!

You don't know what I'm talking about.

What the f*** is that, then?

He's the one

that actually killed her, isn't he?

Leon, what happened?

You sent him out there.

You sent him out there, he got into

a scene with Rheiman and his wife.

He got rough, and he killed her.

You shut your f***ing face!

I never saw that sh*t before in my life!

Look, I wanna know one thing from you.

How much is it gonna cost me

to get you off my back?

You ain't talking money,

you're talking murder.

- How much?

- I feel sorry for you, Julie.

How much?

It don't make no difference

how much, Julie.
