Color Of Night Page #9

a lot of enemies on the street.

This was just payback

for both of 'em.

[Phone Rings, Machine Answers]

Hi, this is Casey.

- Can't get to the phone right now,

but please leave a message.

- [Beeps]

Casey, it's Bill Capa. I got your

message and, sure, I can make it today.

- Are you there?

- Hey! [Exhales]

What... What the hell

are you doing here?

[Capa On Machine] Hello? Listen,

Casey, y-you sounded a little upset.

Just hang in there, okay?

- Let me get this, huh? No? [Gasps]

- I'll be by this morning.

- So I'll see you in 30.

- Well, you think you can do it in 30?

[Gasps, Laughs, Groans]

[Buzzing]

[Buzzing]

- Casey!

- [Groaning]

[Gagging]

Casey!

[Buzzing]

[Grunting]

[Grunting]

Oh, Jesus Christ.

- [Chimes Ringing]

- Casey!

Hey!

[Coughing]

Casey!

Ow! Ow! Ow!

Sh*t!

[Dripping]

- I love this song.

- [Sondra] I know.

[Horn Honking]

- You girls want to go dancing?

- Yeah. We're going to a party.

- Hi.

- Hi... [Laughs]

Well, pardon me!

[Both Laughing]

What are you doing?

[Both Gasp]

- Wha... No!

- [Both Gasping]

[Laughing]

Don't! Don't!

Out all night

Lady did

When nobody else would

Lady did

And she did it real good

- Once was not enough

- [Laughing]

- Ah!

- Sondra, go!

Tell me, Katie

What would your mama say

[Laughing]

[Laughing]

Oh, I'm gonna go change the music.

- Sondra, come here.

Oh, come here. My God!

- [Stops]

- [Gasps, Laughing]

- Oh, my God!

- These are your neighbors!

- They do this all the time. [Laughing]

- Oh, wait. Watch, watch! No!

- They're gonna see you!

- Oh, I don't believe it!

- Oh, this is the part! This is the part!

- Oh, my gosh!

- Oh!

- Believe me, they can f***.

- [Laughing]

Oh, I can't watch this

anymore.

I didn't see anything.

Oh, Sondra, go.

I love this song.

[Sighs]

Yeah.

Sondra, through the window!

Look! Look!

[Both Laughing]

- Oh, what are they doing now?

- I can't tell.

- Are they gonna do it? No!

- My God!

[Laughing]

It's gonna happen right now.

- Ow!

- Oh, I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Oh, champagne.

- Mmm.

- [Chuckling]

No, no, Sondra.

I can't. I can't.

Why?

It's wonderful.

- Sondra, I'm a jinx.

- No. We can cancel each other out.

[Sobs]

No.

I'm not who you

think I am.

Oh, God, I'm in love with somebody

and it's all falling apart.

- I'm sorry.

- Look, the sky isn't falling down.

- Yes, it is.

- No.

Let's get that silly thing

off your head. There.

I love your brown hair.

[Monitor Ringing]

[Sighs, Clears Throat]

[Ringing Continues]

- Who is it?

- [Beeping]

I'm back.

[Laughs]

[Beeping]

Here she comes.

[Chuckles]

Wearing a backpack on her back...

making her look

even younger than she is.

She falls into his arms.

[Sighs]

And they kiss.

[Moaning]

[Gasps]

Oh, God.

I'm so glad

that you're here.

I didn't know

if you'd be in.

I don't have to be anywhere

until this evening.

Yeah?

- So, what color are my nipples?

- [Laughing]

[Both Laughing]

- Oh, God.

- [Laughing]

To be normal like this

all the time.

Oh, God, this is better than normal.

This is much better than normal.

It's just driving me

crazy, that's all.

I mean, I don't really

know you... who you are...

what you do...

if you're safe,

when you're coming by.

You have all the power.

I just sit around here

and wait for you.

- [Crying] You do?

- Yeah.

I mean, other things

happen, but...

in the "what I wait for"

department, you're it.

Oh, my.

Bob's wife.

My ex-wife.

- She's pretty.

- Pretty f***ed up.

Oh, God.

I forget

that he's dead.

He looks so young here.

God, how long ago were these taken?

- Ten years ago.

- Really?

Do you have anything

more recent?

Maybe.

Hold on.

I don't know why he kept

this hidden back here except maybe...

because it had a picture of his wife

naked, which leads me to believe that...

the relationship wasn't as dead

as they were pretending.

- I don't know who these people are.

- No. It's morbid.

I don't want to see anymore.

Let's go outside.

Let's pretend it's Sunday.

Yeah? You wanna?

[Birds Chirping]

One of my patients was killed

last night. He was murdered.

What?

The painter.

- Casey.

- Were you there?

- [Sighs] A little bit after.

- What did you see?

You don't

want to know.

About a half hour before group.

I'm gonna get a shower.

- You gonna be okay out here?

- Yeah.

[Shower Running]

[Shower Running]

[Shower Continues]

[Rustling Paper]

- Rose.

- [Gasps] Oh! Oh!

Rose! Rose!

Rose! Jesus!

[Tires Squealing]

[Tires Squealing]

- 2ASB...

- [Tires Squealing]

[Tires Squealing, Horn Honks]

[Screams]

[Woman] Oh! Stupid, crazy bastard!

They'll give anybody a license!

Five and six are 31.

Seven, seven,

that makes 45.

And that will remain 45, and

every single time you count it,

it will be 45, no matter what.

And then this is five,

and that makes 50. And nine is 59.

Now that's odd. That's really odd.

Now there's 59 again.

- What?

- Well, last week...

there were 58 books on the bookshelf

where there is always...

and I mean always, 59 books, and this

week there are 59 again, so I don't...

- Which one, Sondra?

- [Sighs]

I didn't read any of it.

Really.

- I felt so bad when I got it home.

I couldn't help myself.

- Which one, Sondra?

It... The Van Gogh.

But I didn't read any of it.

- Honestly, I promise!

- [Clark] What did I do?

[Pages Turning]

[Bob's Voice] I was right about

the threats from the Monday group.

This cycle of pain. Yesterday's victim

becomes tomorrow's monster.

Today's the day.

Hi.

Hi, Bill.

Hi, Buck.

Casey, uh...

is not gonna be joining us tonight,

so I think we should get started.

- That's typical. Oh, sh*t!

- [Thunder Rumbling]

- Buck, are you all right?

- It's none of your f***ing business.

- You know, I can't stand

this arguing. Really.

- I'd like to start, if I may.

I'd like to apologize

to the group and Sondra.

Everything that you said

last week in group was right,

and that's why I lost my temper.

Uh, the young lady that

I mentioned last week...

that relationship

has been terminated.

No reason and no hope.

She just, just called...

and told me,

and that's it.

"The sociopath, lacking

the restraints that...

hold a normal character

together, can become anything.

Amorality frees her

to be universally perfect.

A charming chameleon

with a scorpion's tail."

Do any of you recognize...

recognize this woman?

[Laughing]

Oh, my God! Oh!

This is my girlfriend.

This is Bonnie.

- Give me that!

- [Gasps]

- This your Bonnie?

This is your Bonnie? Yeah?

- Yeah. Yeah.

The one you've been boring

the living sh*t out of us with?

This is the one that's

saving you from yourself?

- Your shopping mall hag?

- Shut up.

- The one that makes you smile?

- Shut up!

- The one that you wish was a man?

- What are you getting at, Buck?

- That Bonnie? Is that it?

- That's right, that's it.

- That's right, That's right.

- Sondra...

this is my Bonnie.

[Laughing]

You're lying.

You're lying.
