Desperately Seeking Susan

1

Does he love me, I wanna know

How can I tell if he loves me so

Is it in his eyes?

Oh no, you'll be deceived

Is it in his eyes?

Oh no, he'll make believe

If you wanna know if he loves you so

It's in his kiss

That's where it is, oh yeah

Or is it in his face?

Oh no, it's just his charm

In his one embrace

Oh no, that's just his arm

If you wanna know if he loves you so

It's in his kiss

That's where it is

Oh oh, it's in his kiss

That's where it is

Oh oh oh

Hug him and squeeze him tight

And find out what you wanna know

If it's love, if it really is

It's there in his kiss...

"Beautiful stranger,

red hair, green jump suit,...

walking dogs in

Washington Square Park."

"Can't forget you.

Give love a chance. Blackie."

Hope she gives him a chance.

Oh, Roberta, please!

He must be some kind of a pervert!

- He could be sincere.

- Nobody named Blackie is sincere.

He can't forget her,

he's in love. It's great.

Weren't you reading the want ads?

I know, I was. I just...

can't seem to find anything.

Don't settle for

anything under 50,000.

- Hi, ladies!

- Hi, Adrian. What do you think?

- Roberta, the look is you.

- I just really wanted a trim.

No, this is your birthday present.

Give her something

different, not weird...

Don't worry. Her husband'll love it.

- Wow, here it is! A message from Jim!

- Huh?

"Desperately seeking Susan.

Keep the faith."

"Tuesday 10am. Battery Park,

Gangway one. Love Jim."

- Who's Jim?

- Oh, God, that's tomorrow.

Who's Susan? You know these people?

No. Jim follows Susan

all over the country.

Last January she was in

Mexico City, then Seattle.

They send messages back and forth,

that's how they hook up.

Now they're in New York.

Desperate. I love that word.

It's so romantic.

Everybody I know is

desperate except you.

- I'm desperate.

- You?!

Well... sort of.

You're not shy

You get around

You wanna fly

Don't want your feet on the ground

You stay up

Won't come down

You wanna live

Wanna move to the sound

Got fire

In your veins

Burning hard

Girl, you don't feel the same

Your desires

Are insane

You won't stop

Until you do it again

Sometimes I wonder

As I look in your eyes

Maybe you're thinking

Of some other guy

But I don't ever know...

Room service!

It's open!

Smile.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I got you a newspaper

and your tequila.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Where do you want it?

- That's fine.

Don't spend it all in one place.

I won't. Thanks.

Jimmy!

It's about time!

Nice!

Bye-bye, Bruce.

It was fun, huh?

Hold the elevator!

Wait a second!

Roberta, don't let me eat these.

They're so good!

Hey, I think I've found one.

- One of what?

- Upstairs. Come on.

He's been giving

me the eye all night.

- Who is he?

- Who?

- In the corner, near Gary.

- Larry Stillman.

- Dr Stillman.

- Plastic surgery?

He's Gary's dentist.

Well, at least he's not a PhD.

- Gary, who's your friend?

- You know Becky.

Oh! Larry Stillman...

- My sister Leslie.

- Hi, how you doin'?

So you're a dentist...

Oh! Time out, everybody!

I've got a 10.58 spot.

- Oh, right!

- Great!

Rosemary will have another

instalment of Growing up In Queens.

The search continues for suspects...

in the recent robbery of

ancient Egyptian artefacts.

That and more,

next on the news at 11.

Hi. I'm Gary from Gary's Oasis.

In our New Jersey showroom,

we have hundreds of models...

of whirlpools and hot tubs at the

lowest manufacturer-to-you prices.

So come on out to Gary's Oasis.

- We're open seven days a week.

- Hey, Gary. Come on in!

At Gary's Oasis all your

fantasies can come true!

Very good!

It's gone for ever.

That funny, young,

lost look... I loved.

It won't ever come back.

I killed that when I

told you about Rebecca.

You can watch in the bedroom

with the headphones.

I know.

Gary,...

do you ever remember your dreams?

I dunno, I never thought about it.

They liked the commercial,

don't you think?

Everyone thought you were great.

Oh, you're gonna...

pick up the radio for the car

for me tomorrow, aren't you?

Sure.

Oh, don't forget...

Tell the guy you're my wife because we

put a sauna in the owner's apartment...

and he's giving us

a really great price.

Night, hon.

Hey! Don't eat all that cake!

- Susan!

- Hi.

My God, we all thought you were dead!

No, just in New Jersey.

Let's hear it, ladies and gentlemen,

for lan, the fabulous lan,...

and his lovely assistant Crystal!

Hi.

- Susan! Where have you been?

- All over.

- Anybody I know?

- No.

Some guy from Atlantic City.

It was fun till he

started getting serious.

- How's tricks?

- I'm ready to quit this dump. I really am.

Ray won't let me wear my glasses,...

then lan gets pissed off

when I can't do the tricks.

I mean, I'm only legally blind!

I could understand if I wore

my glasses on my tits,...

but nobody here looks at my face!

Come on, let's just get outta here.

- I have to do the Disappearing Bluebird.

- Sounds great.

- Can't you wait?

- I'm really tired.

I could get some pizza

and meet you at home.

- You've got a place?

- Not exactly.

But I'm working on it.

Oh, no. I know what's coming now.

Just for tonight, I promise.

Come on!

Do you promise only

seven-digit phone calls?

Cross my heart. You won't regret it.

Thanks.

Welcome back.

I'll see you later.

Hey, baby. Take a paper.

Wow, I don't believe it.

Sh*t!

Excuse me!

- You got a light?

- No, I don't smoke.

Susan!

How come you split without

saying goodbye in person?

Everybody says goodbye in person.

Come on. Let's go get a drink.

Yeah, OK, but I've

only got a few minutes.

- Oh, great...

- It's a last-minute thing.

The band got this gig in

Buffalo and we start tonight.

Next time don't put an

ad in the paper, OK?

Susan, I've been looking

for you for weeks!

Come to Buffalo with me?

You'll be working.

- It's boring.

- Come to Buffalo.

I'll find some trouble

for you to get into.

I've had enough trouble already.

You... you were with this guy?

He was breathing when I left.

Hey! Beauty and the Beast, we'll hit

traffic on the bridge. Let's fly!

I don't like leaving you like this.

- I can take care of myself.

- I know.

Look, I'll give you a number.

You got a pen?

All right, this is the

number of my friend Dez.

He's a great guy...

and if you really get in a jam, call him.

He'll know how to reach me.

- Has he got any money?

- Forget it! He knows all about you.

Here comes Johnny Yen again

With the liquor and drugs

And the flesh machine

No more dead bodies, OK?

I'll see what I can do.

Be here next time when I get back.

And I been hurtin'

since I bought the gimmick...

Come on, baby!

Check it out!

Hey, baby, I got a pair of

sunglasses just for you!

This hat'll look great on you, baby.

Take a look in the mirror.

Beautiful, right?

$10 for the set, all right?

Ten bucks.

You gonna buy?

Hey, where you goin', babe?

Yo! Come back! What are

you doin' with my hat?

Give me my glasses, babe!

What's the matter?
