Blue Jasmine Page #11

No, sir.

It's best if you come with us now.

Under arrest for what?

Sir, come with us now.

We'll settle this downtown.

Do you have a warrant?

I do.

Gonna handcuff me?

We are.

I wanna talk to my lawyer.

You'll be able to call your lawyer.

But we'll warn you, you have

the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can be held

against you in court.

Okay, okay, let's go.

Let's go.

Jesus Christ Almighty.

What am I being arrested for?

We can discuss this downtown, sir.

(KING OLIVER'S "BLACK SNAKE SWING"

AKA "BLACK SNAKE BLUES" PLAYING)

As disillusioned as I was with

him, I hated you more.

The moment I did what I did,

I regretted it.

I don't wanna discuss it.

It's past. It's over.

You can't take back

that phone call.

I need you, Danny.

I don't wanna see you, Jasmine.

I want the past past.

I've become a different person,

thanks to my wife. I'm off drugs.

Just, please,

don't spoil everything.

Just get out of my life

so I can move on.

Heh, heh, heh.

Definitely. Heh, heh.

GINGER:
Hey.

CHILI:
Hey.

GINGER:
Hey,

have some champagne.

Chili brought some over

to celebrate.

We're back together.

Heh, heh, heh.

I'm sorry, I'm not

in a celebratory mood.

I don't think I'd find that news

anything to celebrate about.

Hey, come on, Jasmine,

let's not dig at each other, okay?

I'm moving in, and she tells me

you found a rich husband.

Gonna be a big shot in Washington.

We made up.

CHILI:

She begged for my forgiveness.

GINGER:
And he cried like

a baby and apologized.

CHILI:
I didn't cry.

Bullshit. You cry all the time.

But we're moving in.

It's something we planned for a long

time and maybe if we'd just done it--

Oh, for chrissake.

What's wrong with

your self-esteem?

There's men who'd never think

about ripping the phone out of the wall.

Hey, leave him alone.

You're always picking on him.

No, you choose losers, okay?

Because that's what you think

you deserve.

That's why you're living like this and

that's why you'll never have a better life.

I'm-- I'm living--

I'm living like this because

you married the biggest loser of all

and went your own sweet way

while he pissed away my one big

chance to make a better life.

Come on, let's not ruin

our celebration, okay?

Come on, she's happy, we're happy.

Let's let sleeping dogs lie.

He's right. I'm not gonna be

drawn into defending myself

when all I wanted to do

was bring you in on a good deal.

I'm moving out of

this place today.

I just gotta get

myself together.

Dwight asked me to move in with

him, as I expected he would.

He wants me to finish

decorating his home.

Then we'll marry and

we'll move in together.

He's one of these men

who's lost without a woman.

It has to be the right woman,

who's a plus for his career.

And I have the social skills

required for his future in politics.

For the next few years,

we'll be living in Vienna.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm gonna take a shower.

I'll send for my luggage.

I was pretty angry at some of the things

she said, but I kept it on the inside.

I'm tired of her knocking you.

You know?

(CROWD CHEERING ON TV)

Don't even think about taking

that last slice of pizza.

What? Why?

That's my slice of pizza. Don't take it.

Oh. Is it really?

Last slice belongs to the man.

You're putting too much on the hips.

Is that so?

Yeah, if you wanna keep me around--

This slice is yours?

Don't touch it. Ginger, I swear to God.

Is this yours? Is this yours?

Ah! Ah!

That slice of pizza is mine.

(GINGER LAUGHING)

CHILI:
That's mine.

GINGER:
Yeah.

CHILI:
That's mine. That's mine.

GINGER:
Ha, ha, ha.

CHILI:
Oh, that's mine.

Those are definitely mine.

GINGER:
Is that yours?

CHILI:
Mm-hm.

GINGER:
Yeah?

CHILI:
Mm-hm.

GINGER:
Yeah,

that's yours, okay.

(SIGHS)

It's fraught with peril.

They gossip, you know,

they talk.

I saw Danny.

Yes, did I tell you?

He's getting married.

A weekend in Palm Beach

means I can wear...

What could I wear? I can wear

the Dior dress I bought in Paris.

Yes, my black dress.

Well, Hal always used to surprise me

with jewelry.

Extravagant pieces.

I think he used to buy

them at auction.

It's so obvious what you're doing.

You think I don't know.

French au pair.

(CONAL FAWKES' "BLUE MOON" PLAYING)

This was playing on the Vineyard.

"Blue Moon."

I used to know the words.

I knew the words.

Now they're all a jumble.

A good man is hard to find

Well, you always

And just when you think

He's your one best pal

You look around

You find him lovin' another gal

To see that man

laying in his grave

So if your man is nice

Take my advice

And kiss him in the morning

Kiss him every night

Give him plenty kisses

Be sure you kiss him right

'Cause a good man nowadays
