American Gigolo Page #7

The other side will always pay more.

You got it on real tight, huh?

Real proud of yourself,

aren't you, Leon?

The police found the murder weapon

a block from your apartment.

And that b*tch in Palm Springs

is gonna change her mind anytime now

and identify you.

Police want you real bad, Julie.

Now they got you.

Look, I'm worth maybe 20, 30 grand.

It's yours.

I'll break in new boys for you.

I'll work just for you!

Just for you, Leon!

40-60 split.

That's fair. 40-60.

40...

30-70.

I'll do fag tricks for you.

I'll do kink.

I'll do anything you want me to do!

Leave me alone and get out, Julie.

Why me?

Why did you pick me?

Because you were frameable, Julie.

You stepped on too many toes.

Nobody cared about you.

I never liked you much myself.

Now get out.

Who's down there?

Your new boyfriend? You motherf***er!

You...

Oh, my God! Help!

Listen, don't let me fall!

Please, Julie, help me!

- Don't let me fall!

- Don't fall. Leon, I need you!

Give me your hand.

- Try. At least try.

- I can't. I'm trying.

Help me! Help me, please!

God! Don't fall!

Julian, would you

answer a few questions?

How many times

have you been to Palm Springs?

How long were you

seeing Mrs Rheiman?

Any Hollywood notables...

How much money

have you made, Julian?

Go ahead and give me

an exclusive, huh?

Who're you trying to protect?

- How much did you get for a trick?

- Please. Please. Come on, Julian.

Is it true you're getting a plea bargain?

Why would you make a statement?

I wish I had arrested you earlier.

It would have been easier for everybody.

You'd better put an end

to this pre-trial publicity.

We'll be moving him

to Palm Springs soon.

Do you have anything to say, Julian?

Julian?

No.

Hello, Julian.

Going away on your trip?

No, I decided not to.

- Does your husband know you're here?

- No.

Why did you come?

I didn't think

I was ever going to see you again.

Don't come back, Michelle.

Are you satisfied with your lawyer?

It doesn't matter.

Don't go.

Michelle Stratton is paying

for my services, Julian.

I think you know

this is a matter of some secrecy.

Tell her not to bother.

Julian, you'll have to help us more.

You tell Michelle to forget me.

I'm more worried about your defence,

Julian, than about her private life.

We'll have to go into all the details

of the night of the murder.

A maid saw you trying to save Leon,

so the police are only pressing

the Rheiman case.

The papers and TV

are trying you already, Julian.

The police aren't

investigating any more.

We need some help,

some facts to get

the investigation going again.

Then we can find out

about Leon, Rheiman.

Maybe the blond boy.

How about it, Julian?

- Lieutenant Curtis?

- Yes, Mrs Stratton. This is an honour.

May I sit?

I was told you wanted to see me.

What can I do for you?

I want to talk to you about

the Julian Kay/Rheiman murder case.

Yes.

I'm paying for Mr Kay's legal defence.

I know.

I'm paying for Mr Kay's defence

because I know he's not guilty.

And I don't want to see

an obstruction of justice.

How do you know he's not guilty?

Because he was not in Palm Springs

the night of the murder.

- No?

- No.

He was with me.

I told them, Julian.

I heard.

You didn't have to do that, Michelle.

You could have forgotten me.

I'd rather die.

What will you do now?

I don't know.

I can't go home.

The newsmen are waiting

outside for me.

There's dozens of them.

Why did you do it?

I had no choice.

I love you.

Oh, my God, Michelle.

It's taken me so long to come to you.
