Breezy Page #4

be like to meet somebody new.

Fall in love.

To feel all that again.

'Cause that's not all

dead inside me, Frank.

That's all still there.

All the butterflies.

(LAUGHING)

You know what stops me?

Fear.

Oh, yeah.

Scares the hell out of me.

At my age, the thought of

having to start all over again.

Come on like I was 20.

Doing all those

numbers just to get laid.

And then maybe being put down.

Me? I'd end up paying

for it just to make sure.

No. I gotta know she's there.

But you see, that's where

you and I are so different.

You dig being up on that

hill alone. You really dig it.

Me, I'd go nuts if I had to

come home to an empty house.

Tell me something, Frank. Don't

you ever get lonely up there?

I don't think I know

what loneliness is.

If I ever did, I've forgotten it.

(VEHICLE APPROACHING)

(CAR DOOR OPENING)

Well, Edith Alice, for a

man who likes his privacy

and a girl without

means of transportation,

we're sure seeing

a lot of each other.

Oh, I just happened to

be in the neighborhood.

I must say one

thing for your timing.

What?

It stinks.

I'm going out tonight.

Okay, here's one.

"Housemaid.

"Two swinging

bachelors want swinging

"housekeeper for oceanfront home.

"Lots of leisure time

for right pretty girl."

How's that sound?

- Okay, if you don't mind sand in your bed.

- (CHUCKLING)

Okay.

"Handsome, well-endowed male

desires equally gifted female

"who has taste for the unusual."

Hmm, "well-endowed male."

Better jot that number down.

- Here's a pencil.

- (CHUCKLING)

Okay. "Married woman

with afternoons free

"desires attractive, discreet

man for daytime pleasure.

"Phone:
270-5095."

2700... What?

5095. Gotta remember that one.

I wish you didn't have to go.

Some friends of

mine bought a house.

I promised to take

the papers over tonight.

Can't you do it tomorrow?

No, they're leaving

on their honeymoon.

Got married today.

Well, I might as well drive down

with you then when you go.

Nice of you to tell me. Last

time you left without a word.

Well, I didn't want you to wake

up and be sorry that I was there.

You don't have to leave.

You sure you don't mind

about me waiting up for you?

No. It's a good idea.

Give me an excuse to leave early.

You know what I think I'll do?

First I'll take a shower,

and then I'll light

a fire in the fireplace,

and then maybe

I'll make some coffee,

so there'll be coffee

when you come home, okay?

Mmm-hmm.

And then maybe...

Maybe we can listen to

some music on the stereo,

or watch some TV! Okay?

So you think a few hours.

Around 10:
00?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Around 10:
00.

(BREEZY CHUCKLING)

Bye.

Then we'll just settle in.

WOMAN 1:
But one week! What

kind of a honeymoon is that?

WOMAN 2:
What a shame!

Well, it just can't be helped.

Charlie has to be

in court on Monday.

WOMAN 1:
He's a nice guy, Betty.

Yes, I know.

He sure is.

BOB:
You might get

a slight toxic effect.

Hey!

BETTY:
You're all alone.

(BIG BAND PLAYING)

BOB:
The first thing we know,

they're gettin' married!

Hell, I didn't even know

they were goin' together.

Surprised a lot of people.

- Yeah. Bet it set you on your ass, old buddy.

- (STIRRING DRINK)

Here. Try that one.

- Perfect.

- Really? Let me taste that.

It's a little heavy

on the paint thinner.

Nancy, what a relief!

What are you up to?

Up to here with him.

Do you have to sample

everybody's drink?

He's just gonna be hanging over the

toilet at 4:
00 in the morning.

What are you talkin' about?

I know my limit.

Oh, sure you do, honey.

You passed it often enough.

Speaking of b*tches, Iran

into your ex-wife last week.

I hope you were in

your car, going 80.

Nice. Very nice.

Uh, listen, when you're through

poisoning our friends,

do you mind giving

me a hand serving?

What am I, a slave around here?

You said it.

Hey, Frank.

If you want another drink,

the good stuff is

underneath the bar.

Thanks. I'll stick

with the paint thinner.

Hey, it's only 11:30. That's

the third time you've looked.

- Got an early day tomorrow. (CHUCKLING)

- Oh.

I, um,

feel a terrible sense of loss.

I wish it could have been more.

It was. I just wish you

could have been there.

(SIGHING) Well.

Bye, love.

Bye.

(FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)

Breezy!

(WHISPERING) Make love with me.

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

(SIGHING)

(SNIFFING)

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

Is that all of you in there,

or are you expecting company?

Something smells good.

Always does when it's burning.

Hey, it's not there today.

What's not there?

The black cloud over your head.

Goes away when I'm cooking.

Now, look, sweetheart.

Make yourself useful.

Get the toast and the milk

out of the refrigerator.

And don't make any plans for today.

Why? Are we gonna do something?

Are we gonna do something?

- What are we gonna do?

- I'm not gonna tell you, it's a secret.

Oh, that's not fair. I don't

keep any secrets from you.

Well...

Everything about you is a secret.

Breezy, I don't know

one word about you.

Where you come from?

Who your friends are?

Got any parents?

Whether you're in trouble?

You could tell me, you know?

I didn't think you wanted to know.

Gee, I'm no mystery, Frankie. I come

from Intercourse, Pennsylvania...

Yes, I know, and I've

heard all the jokes.

- (CHUCKLING)

- I didn't say a word.

Well, it gets better. You have to

pass through Faithful to get there.

Ooh!

What a cross to bear.

Oh. My parents are dead.

They, uh... They were killed

in an automobile accident.

About five years ago.

They were nice people.

So, I moved in with my aunt...

Thank you. And, uh,

I stayed with her until I graduated

high school, which was a year ago,

and there didn't seem

to be anything much

holdin' me back, so I

decided now is the time

to move around and

find out what was going on.

Not much happens in

Intercourse, you know.

Really?

So, uh, I put my guitar on my back,

and I came to California.

I love it here, don't you?

This is where I met Marcy.

She's my best friend.

She has a house here

in the canyon, too.

She, uh... She keeps

my guitar for me.

Oh.

Marcy takes drugs, though,

uh, I wish she didn't.

(SIGHING)

Well, that's about it.

I guess you expected something

a little more sordid, huh?

- Well, uh...

- (CHUCKLING) Yes, you did.

(LAUGHING)

Well, maybe things'll pick

up now that there's you.

- Eat.

- I am.

- BREEZY:
There it is.

- Which one?

BREEZY:
The one that looks like the

termites just ate it. (CHUCKLING)

FRANK:
And died of indigestion.

(BREEZY CHUCKLING)

Yeah. That's where

Marcy and David live.

He's waiting for you in Room Six.

(DOG PANTING)

You know what?

I think I might love

you till the day I die.

(TEARFUL CHUCKLING)

Quite a change from

when you brought him in.

(SEAGULLS CRYING)

- Beautiful.

- It's gorgeous.

It's so... It's really

bright, is what it...

(GASPING)

Mmm! Oh, goodness. Oh,

I have it all over me.

Here. I got it.

Chicken.
