Crimes of Passion Page #2

Be just like old times.

Who's there?

Get off!

Didn't hurt you,

did i?

Played a little rougher

this time than usual.

Aw, don't worry, sweetdick. I'm tough.

"Sweetdick"?

Do me a favor next time.

Don't walk so fast.

Hard to keep up.

Maybe i should

rape you, huh?

One way to get back

at your old man. Sorry?

Your father. I know he raped

you when you were a kid.

You told me the first time

we got together.

Oh, yeah.

I forgot.

You said you trusted me.

I do.

You're the only one

i've told.

It is true, isn't it?

Sure it's true. Well,

you don't seem too upset.

You were almost in

tears when you told me.

I'm tryin' to block it outta

my mind. Can't you understand?

I'm sorry. L

- i didn't know it was still a sore spot.

Not as sore

as you was then.

Maybe, if you're

real nice to me,

i'll tell you

all about the time...

he tied my arms to the bed

with black twine.

Did he really do that?

He did that to a sweet

little thing like you?

See the scars?

Where?

Look closer.

Oh, yeah.

I see.

How low

can you get?

As low

as you can afford,

and your meter's up, pal.

That's the bitter truth.

Can i keep these?

For ten bucks.

Keep the trust.

I'm sorry i'm late,

honey. I had to finish up.

I ate with the kids.

Well, i brought dessert!

Thanks. You know i'm on a diet. Open it!

Ta-da!

Have you eaten? I'm not hungry.

I'll fix something later.

Dinner's still warm.

Listen, i invited donny

to the party on sunday.

You know, he and sheila have been

speaking, or at least she called him.

Are you crazy? She only called him

because he was late with the alimony.

So how are the kids?

Well, jimmy

needs braces.

Dentist says he has an

overlapping bite or something.

- Will they hurt?

- I'm not really concerned whether it will hurt or not.

Well, if he needs braces, honey,

get him braces.

Just like that? Yeah, just like that.

So we'll go another year without

a hot tub. We can use the larsons'.

Yeah, sure, and when

we need a new car,

we can borrow the murphys', and i

can borrow my sister's cuisinart...

and sally's microwave,

and, hey, you know what?

Kathy just got a new video

recorder. Cost her a thousand bucks.

She says it'll do

anything she wants.

Well, for that price,

it should go down on her.

Very funny.

Did you talk to jerry?

So where's the salt?

You didn't, did you?

Don't we have any salt

in this house? Bobby.

Amy, i told you.

I am not letting the guy go.

I don't care

how slow things are.

He's got a wife

and kids.

And what do you have?

Maybe if you'd gone into a real

business like a normal person.

It's on the stove.

No wonder we never have

any money.

Amy, look,

i love that business.

I'm proud of it.

Work damn hard at it.

We'll make out okay.

Haven't let you down yet,

have i?

So, who in the hell

needs a hot tub?

We can use the bathtub.

Speaking of which,

why don't you and i...

go upstairs and take

a bath together?

You say we can use a little

bit of adventure in our lives.

I'm really not in the mood

for a little adventure.

Some kind of lousy mood you're

in. Did you get your period today?

No, i did not get

my period today.

Every time i'm in a lousy

mood, you think i got my period.

I wish.

I'd buy stock in tampax

and retire.

There is nothing

that means more to me...

than this family.

Not even

some stupid hot tub.

I have to clean up.

What are you guys still doing

up? You know what time it is?

Mom said we could stay up

till the next commercial.

Yeah?

Well, you can't.

'Cause you're under attack.

It's bombs away.

Oh! Hey!

I want you to give your sister

some, you hear me, cowboy?

Come on, you two.

March. Up.

- Did you guys hear the joke about the two lima beans?

- Don't worry about it.

Because it's bedtime,

isn't it, daddy?

Come on. Let's go.

Give dad a big hug.

Bye.

Good night.

Hello?

Yeah, walt pierson here.

Walt. Bobby grady.

How you doin'?

Great. You? Yeah, i'm just fine. Thanks.

Um, listen, uh,

you'd asked me once before...

about doing some nighttime

surveillance for you.

Yeah. Think you might

still be interested?

Yeah. Well, n-n-no, i was- i was

wondering, is the offer still good?

Yeah. You gotta

work nights, though.

No problem.

Mob after you?

No, i could use the money.

I think i got something for you. You do?

Yeah. Gotta work

nights, though. Terrific.

No, that's great. You didn't

think i had the nerve, did you?

No, i didn't.

Neither did i.

I, uh- i guess it

just comes with poverty.

Well, come on in,

and we'll talk about it.

Yeah, well, thank you very much,

and you take it easy, okay?

Yeah, right. See you

tomorrow. Fine. Bye.

Great. You tell them jokes, and i'm

the wicked witch who sends them to bed.

Well, i'll put 'em

to bed.

So you can keep 'em up half

the night with your stories?

I think it's good

for the imagination.

Theirs or yours?

I'm gonna be doing some

tracking for walt pierson.

So, that means you can

make room for that hot tub.

Well, you act like I-

forced you, and i don't

even want it anymore.

What do you want?

Do you know?

And you didn't force me.

Maybe i'll, uh, do

the magic act at the party.

You know, for laughs.

What do you think?

Whatever you want.

Damn the living

it's a lovely life?

Silver silverware?

Where is the love?

Oval swimming pool?

Where is the love?

Damn the living

it's a lovely life?

It's a lovely

a lovely life?

Welcome to it

it's a lovely life?

It's a lovely?

Life?

Oh, bobby, come on. Stop it.

We just got the cable.

Walt pierson speaks

very highly of you.

I have a lot of respect for walt.

His word's good enough for me.

Well, i'm damn good

at what i do, mr. Bateman,

but i'll only take a job

if i can do it right.

As long as you keep it quiet. I don't

want to turn this into a major event.

Well, i've always been a

pushover for industrial espionage.

I'd like to help you.

Just tell me what the facts are.

I'm one of the largest manufacturers of

ladies' sportswear outside of new york.

But i'm falling behind

for the first time in 20 years.

Last week's orders

were at an all-time low.

I have reason to believe there's

someone in my organization...

selling patterns

to one of my competitors.

I want you to follow her.

Who is she?

A young woman's who's been

with me about two years.

Very talented designer. Hell of

a future, if she hasn't blown it.

What makes you think

it's her? I don't know.

Gut feeling. Something about

her. I'll point her out to you.

All right, try and save some

yardage in this sleeve, okay?

That's her,

in the gray suit.

How could someone that looks

like that be a criminal?

That's what i'm

paying you to find out.

Follow her

- where she goes at night, what she does.

Morning, lou.

Phil.

What'd you mean

there's something about her?

She's a mystery.

Divorced. Lives alone.

No boyfriends i know of.

A real loner.

What's she like in here?

Compulsive, ambitious.

Never stops working, never

satisfied. You know the type.
