so he doesn't

have to let anything else in;

I just... I don't think that's me.

I would say you're in love

with the sound of your own voice

if you didn't sound like

you f***ing hate yourself.

I've never heard

that much self-hatred before.

It's like a disease.

And you're afraid

of catching it.

We're cool, right?

Right?

- Ready to go, darling.

- Let's go.

This is my stop.

You want to come in,

meet my friends?

- Come on.

- Let's go.

You're overthinking this.

You should come in.

They're really lonely.

# I just don't know why #

# you began to cry #

# when you said #

# said #

# we're through #

# well, I think

you'll come to see #

# eventually #

# that I love #

# love, love #

# you #

I don't remember.

Did you say...

Do you speak French, or...

No, oh, my God, no.

Stop talking.

You've been talking all day.

Give her a spin on the floor.

I don't dance.

Come on, why are you

wearing those pants, then?

Really.

I don't know how to dance.

It's all right,

I'll give you a lesson.

I'll show you.

I don't-i don't...

All right.

Yeah.

Nice.

Real nice.

And you just kind of go with it.

It's not so bad.

That's nice.

Baryshnikov.

Why don't you take the lead

for a minute?

Yeah.

Oh, this is nice.

Hey, where'd that move

come from?

All right.

Why don't you give it back

so I can show you a turn?

'Cause the ladies love the turn

# #

# hosin' off the sidewalk #

that's why the ladies love it

# what does it say #

# your f***ing sunny day #

# #

# is it not supposed to #

# if and when #

# #

# the deep down bends #

# but for a breath of wind #

# and they're gone #

# I didn't mind

being what he... #

- come on.

- No.

Slap!

Slap!

Slap!

I want to make love to you.

Why?

This is so much better.

Slap!

Slap! Slap!

Slap!

I need to make love to you.

We can do other things.

I don't want to do

other things.

You've been

with too many girls.

Come on,

enough with that already.

We can do other things.

I'm tired of doing other

things.

I'm sick of it, all right

I just want to make love to you.

Why is that so f***ing wrong?

You've been with too many...

Goddamn it!

Stop saying that.

What are you,

some kind of robot?

Can't you say anything else?

How long have we been

doing this sh*t, huh?

How many f***ing times do we

have to go through this?

Aren't you

sick of this bullshit?

Don't you want to make love?

What the hell is wrong with you?

We can do other things.

Do you want me to go?

I should go.

No.

No.

Don't go.

No, please stay.

You still have your place.

Oh, yeah.

No, no, my brother's there now.

Your brother?

Yeah.

Ugh.

There's a guy who hasn't

been with too many girls.

I mean, he's 35 years old,

and I don't think

he's been out with a girl

since high school.

Is he a homosexual?

No, he's just crazy.

He doesn't eat.

I mean, he's got these crazy

compulsive eating habits.

And he freaks out if he goes

more than 30 blocks

from the house.

Is he sick?

I don't know.

I used to think so.

I don't know anything anymore.

I don't know

a goddamn thing.

excuse me.

Do you know the man

playing that piano in there?

Well, I don't know

when he decided

he could start

playing that piano in there,

'cause it's got to stop.

You tell him it's got to stop,

will you?

You say anything to make him

stop playing,

I'll kill you.

I don't know what I'll do.

But I'll come back here,

and I'll kill you.

Do you hear me?

I'll kill you!

I don't understand.

C'est pas normal.

How long

have we known each other?

I've never seen you like this.

If there's something wrong,

then we should do something

about it.

I can't see you anymore.

That's it.

Some things cannot be fixed.

There is nothing

that cannot be fixed

if we want it to be fixed.

But sometimes

we don't want to fix things.

Do you want to fix this?

I told you to fix it!

I told you to fix your room

before I came back!

I told you to fix it!

Fix your room!

I told you to fix it!

Fix your room!

You never listen!

Fix it!

Fix it!

Fix it!

Fix it!

Fix it!

Fix your room!

I told you to fix it!

Fix your room!

All right, that's enough.

That's enough.

Come on.

Let go of me.

Let go of me.

Let go.

Let go of me!

All right.

Let go of me!

Laisse-moi.

Laisse-moi.

Lache moi.

Calm down.

Laisse-moi!

Laisse-moi.

Laisse-moi.

Laisse-moi.

Lache moi.

Non.

Ma'am, he was the second

of your acquaintances

to die violently

in as many weeks.

You were the last person

to see him

other than his coworkers.

Did he say anything

or give you any indication

someone might mean him any harm?

We're not accusing you

of anything, ma'am.

We know this is very hard

for you,

but we need your help if we're

going to solve these crimes.

You're a criminal.

You're a criminal,

and you're a liar.

We checked if you've been

sending other girls out,

and nobody's been sent out.

I want answers.

We've been here

for over an hour.

That's the business.

The business?

No one's been sent out

for over three months.

Shh.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

It just can't be

this loud out here.

I've got a meeting

going on in there.

Is there something

maybe I can help you guys with?

Yeah, the problem is,

we've been promised work

and have gotten nothing.

He promised us.

I personally have two girls

out at an audition right now,

but acting's a really...

It's a tough profession, okay?

It takes a while to...

- We're not actors.

- We're not here for acting.

- We're models.

- Wow, okay.

Uh, I mean this

with all due respect,

'cause I didn't sign you guys

you guys are very beautiful,

but you're...

You guys are characters, okay?

And you're clearly very vocal

you guys haven't taken

an acting class ever?

- No.

- Never.

Well, that young lady

came in to me today

to tell me

that she got a callback

after taking only a few classes

from this man.

I think you guys

would do really well with it.

You want to come into my office?

Maybe we can interrogate her

about her experience?

- Sure.

- Okay.

All right.

Well, follow me.

I can't believe you guys

haven't taken an acting class.

Well,

why didn't he say anything

about acting classes

if he's so...

It's gonna help you

channel some of that anger.

How come

we didn't know about this?

That's a great...

That's a great question

that I'm gonna get

to the bottom of.

Well,

we've spent a lot of money.

Are we gonna have to spend more?

You're not having any fun,

are you?

I mean, the way you acted,

it's like you never even

talked to a woman before.

Are you seeing anyone?

What about the boss?

I've seen the way

she looks at you.

What about the two of you?

You know, personally,

she really scares me.

You're not the only one

who doesn't want

pretty girls around, man.

You know, I thought

I had a really great office

until I realized that

there's a giant piece of glass

where a wall should be

and she's just gonna

f***ing stare at me through it

every time
