Benny & Joon Page #4

- No.

- Why?

- Because she doesn't want to talk to me.

Come on. We should go.

Knock it off.

He is... He's incredible.

He's amazing.

- Did you have to go to school for that?

- No, I got thrown out of school for that.

- Really?

- Oh, yeah.

Hey, listen.

Why don't you guys go ahead?

I'm just gonna hang out here for a while.

- Really?

- Yeah. Go ahead.

I'll see you at home, later.

- All right?

- OK.

- That was great.

- No, no, no.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Bye-bye.

# When the road gets dark

# And you can no longer see

# Just let my love throw a spark

# And have a little faith in me

# And when the tears you cry

# Are all you can believe

# Just give these lovin' arms a try, baby

# And have a little faith in me

# And have a little faith in me

# And have a little faith in me

# And have a little faith in me

# And have a little faith in me

# When your secret heart

# Cannot speak so easily

# Come here, darlin',

from a whisper start

# To have a little faith in me

# Have a little faith in me

# Have a little faith in me

Joon?

What?

I love you.

Me, too.

- Don't tell Benny.

- OK.

Did you see the way you had everyone

in the palm of your hand, huh?

You've got this gift

and you shouldn't ignore it.

- You should be doin' something with it.

- Like what?

I don't know. All I know is I looked at you

and I said "This guy is somethin' else."

You're not some schmo like the rest of us,

who do what we do because we have to.

You're blessed.

- Benny?

- What?

- How sick is she?

- She's plenty sick.

- Now, I've been doin' some thinkin'.

- Because it seems to me,

except for bein' a little

mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

Do you realize you could be

the next Buster Keaton?

I'm tellin' you, Randy. Listen.

You've got to see this guy.

- Tell him, Eric.

- He's funny.

- He's amazing. Will you see him?

- Yeah, I'll see him. You never know.

Most of these guys just work locally,

but the better ones I can book out of town.

- You book 'em out of town?

- All over. Detroit, Boston, sometimes LA.

Whoa! Really? Can you see him tonight?

I'd love to see him tonight.

- Hi.

- Is my car ready?

How you doin'?

Come on in. Come on in.

Listen, I want to apologize for

the other night. That all came out wrong.

- No. No, it's OK.

- No, I really...

- How's my car?

- It's runnin' great.

Your fuel pump was shot.

I threw in a new one. It's great.

How much do I owe you?

I'll tell you what. Give me $30 for the part.

I'm not gonna charge you for labor.

OK?

Listen, if you're not doin' anything later,

I just lined up this thing for Sam.

- What thing?

- It's kinda like an audition.

Maybe his chance to make a living

at all this crazy stuff he does.

Who knows? Maybe he could travel,

play clubs. I don't know, you know.

So if you're not doin' anything later and...

I don't know, Benny.

I got food to deliver, apartments to rent...

My life's pretty complicated

right now. You know?

Thanks. Bye.

We'll lay out the whole routine

right after dinner.

You know what you could start with?

Remember the roll thing in the diner?

Who died and made you Ed McMahon?

What is your problem? This is his chance

to do somethin', be somebody.

- He is somebody.

- Yeah, I know, but he wants to be more.

You don't know what he wants.

I know he doesn't want to be

a housekeeper for the rest of his life.

If you're worried about a new Smail,

don't worry, we'll get a new Smail.

He's not my Smail.

Housekeeper, whatever.

We have to tell him.

What?

Tell me what?

Benny...

Joon... and...

and I...

are... you know.

Bullshit.

You...

- Don't!

- Get the f*** out.

You can't throw him out. I won him.

You just settle down. Just settle down.

- I love him!

- Yeah?

Well, you are crazy!

I am not crazy.

You see what we've come to? You see?

I hate you!

I hate you!

Can I get you anything?

Tapioca.

OK.

Anything on it?

Raisins.

OK.

Hi.

- Hi. How you doin'?

- You're out late.

Yeah.

Listen.

Do you have any tapioca?

- Jeez, I've heard a lot of lines in my life...

- No, no, no, it's not for me. It's...

It's for Joon.

- Come on in.

- Yeah?

Joon.

OK?

- Yeah.

- Good, good, good.

I'm not. No, no, I'm not.

OK? All right?

Hold tight. OK. Shh. It's OK.

It's OK.

I am not! I am not! I am not!

Shut up!

No, no. No, no.

- Joon, please, come on.

- No, it's not all in my head.

Sir? Sir!

Stop the bus, please!

Please stop the bus!

No!

Joon.

- All righty. You wanna step out?

- Yeah, OK. Yeah, OK.

- How you doin', hon?

- You think I don't know who you are?

I know just who you are!

So just leave. Leave.

Leave!

Don't you touch me! Don't touch me!

Joon? Joon!

Look, I am going to see my sister. Would

you please just tell me her room number?

- Please, just come back in the morning.

- Let me talk to her goddamn doctor!

I'm sorry. She doesn't want any visitors.

Not you or anyone else.

She doesn't wanna see me?

No. And she doesn't want to leave.

Benny, why don't you go home?

Get some sleep.

I promise I'll keep in touch.

I hope you're happy.

I hope you are happy with

what you have done to her.

You just stay the hell away

from my sister.

No.

Wanna know why

everyone laughs at you, Sam?

Because you're an idiot.

You're a first-class moron.

- You're scared, Benny.

- I'm what?

You're scared.

I can see it. And I know why.

I used to look up to you.

But...

now I can't look at you at all.

# Come down off your throne

and leave your body alone

# Somebody must change

# You are the reason

I've been waitin' so long

# Somebody holds the key

# Well, I'm weary

and I just ain't got the time

# And I'm wasted

and I can't find my way home

# Come down on your own

and leave your body alone

# Somebody must change

# You are the reason

I've been waitin' all these years

# Somebody holds the key

# Well, I'm weary

and I just ain't got the time

# Oh, no

# Cos I'm wasted

and I can't find my way home

- I think Fred Astaire is the way to go.

- Yeah?

- That's a good choice.

- Who was that woman in Roman...

- Audrey Hepburn.

- Yeah. Sam, thanks a lot.

Have a nice day.

- Can I help you?

- Yeah, I hope so.

- Hi, Benny.

- Thomas.

How is she? Tell me the truth.

- She's been better, Benny.

- You gotta tell me what room she's in.

It's a closed ward. No visitors.

- No, we've gotta find Joon. Please.

- Thomas, get us in there to see her.

- It's impossible, Benny.

- What do you mean, it's impossible?

Listen, I just need two minutes with her.

Benny, I'll get fired!

Thomas,

I'm beggin' you, as a friend.

I'd love to help you out, but Garvey's

gonna be in there to check on her soon.

My hands are tied. My hands are tied!

What room did he say?

Sh*t.

What are you doin'?

Mommy?

- What are you doin' here?

- I don't think you're supposed to be here.

- Get the door.

- How'd he get past Security?
