Desperately Seeking Susan Page #2

- Oh, man! I don't believe it!

- I'm sorry.

What are you doin'?

- I'm sorry.

- What do you mean, "sorry"? Hey!

Sorry!

I ain't gonna do you wrong

While you're gone

Ain't gonna do you wrong

Cos I don't wanna

All I'm askin'

Is for a little respect

when you come home

Baby, when you get home

I'm about to give you

All of my money

And all I'm askin'...

Do me a favour, baby.

Stay on the carpet, OK?

- They're great, aren't they?

- I know.

I gotta have 'em, but 65 bucks...

- That is the price.

- Forget it.

- I like the jacket.

- It used to belong to Jimi Hendrix.

But I bet he'd love it if I

swapped it for the boots.

Deal.

Ooo, your kiss is

Sweeter than honey

And guess what?

So is my money...

Gorgeous, isn't it?

It used to belong to Elvis Presley.

- Wanna try it on?

- All right.

Oh, a little respect

Oh, hey! A little respect...

We start off with the eggs.

These go very fast done two by two.

And this you can do in the morning...

and get it all ready for baking.

I'm gonna bake it

and then unmould it.

There are your six eggs.

Those get beaten up a little

bit and then in goes...

Hello, Roberta.

Hello, Julia.

Sorry, girls. I can't

stay for dinner.

Some guy from West

Germany's got 1500 tubs...

he can't get through customs.

I gotta go have dinner

with him in town.

It just happened. I'm sorry.

You forgive me?

Looks interesting too.

- Get a good deal on the radio?

- Radio?

- Car radio. You just came from the city.

- Oh, my God, the radio.

- You forgot the radio?

- No!

Yeah, right, I guess I did.

You could have said you didn't

want dinner. I had to rush!

You said you didn't go anywhere.

What are you wearing?

A jacket. It used to

belong to Jimi Hendrix.

You bought a used jacket?

What, are we poor?

What's going on here?

Roberta, I gotta run! I'm late.

We'll talk later, all right?

All right, we'll talk later?

Jimi Hendrix, huh?

You sold it?

I had a key that was important.

I got my sh*t inside a locker.

- I sold it!

- I'll leave you my name and number.

Good goin', stranger.

Well, what f***in' stranger?!

Festival seating.

That means Portosans.

Portosans means pissing with flies.

I'm not gonna piss with flies.

You guys can piss in bottles.

What the hell is this? Woodstock?

- Projection.

- Dez, it's me. Jim.

Hold on a second.

Jesus Christ!

I'm stuck in Buffalo and I need

a favour. It's about Susan.

See, now some guy she met in Atlantic

City got pushed out of a hotel window.

This sounds wild.

I'm sorry I missed it.

This is serious, Dez.

And now some guy's run an ad to meet

her in Battery Park, signed "a stranger".

It sounds weird.

Could you just go down there...

and make sure she's OK?

Jim, Victoria split on me last night.

I'm in a shitty mood.

I'm not in the mood for being

a boy scout right now.

Come on, Dez.

It'll take you half an hour.

- Come on!

- Give me a chance here. One second.

- She's got to meet him at 4 o'clock.

- That's in less than an hour!

Jim, I got a job here, you know!

This one favour.

Even if I could get someone

to fill in for me...

I don't even know

what she looks like.

Look, you can't miss her.

She's incredibly pretty,

blonde hair... medium height.

And she's got this green

and gold jacket...

with a pyramid with an eye on top

like a dollar bill. You can't miss it.

- All right, you owe me one.

- Great. Thanks, Dez, I appreciate it.

OK, yeah. Bye.

I lived in New York all my life.

We used to have Chinese restaurants,

Italian restaurants.

Now you have these sushi restaurants.

Everyone goes for sushi.

Sushi... I hate the stuff.

Although, I tell you,

I had some the other day.

I took it home, I cooked it,

it wasn't bad. It tasted like fish.

$9.20.

Here, keep the change.

Whoa! Hey! What is that? Hey, lady!

Hey! Hey, lady!

What is this?

Oh, that's cute!

Hi.

You look like I've seen

you somewhere before.

- No, I don't think so.

- Yeah, I think so.

- You doin' anything right now?

- I'm waiting for someone.

- Come with me, miss.

- I have to meet someone.

- We'll talk about it in the car.

- She's got all my stuff.

She'll give you the goddamn cab fare!

I don't need this aggravation.

I work for a living.

Theft of services. I know the law.

Well, hi! Excuse me,

but do you like candy?

- I got some Sugar Babies.

- No, thank you.

I wanted to have a chat. I was very

close to your boyfriend in Atlantic City.

- No, no, no. I'm married.

- No, I don't think so!

Susan!

Did you wear the pretty

earrings he gave you?

- Let's have a chat. My car is over there.

- Let go of me!

- Susan!

- Let go!

Susan!

Susan?

Susan?

- What happened?

- Are you OK?

My head hurts.

I'm Dez. I'm a friend of Jim's.

Jim?

Your boyfriend Jim.

Who was the guy hassling you?

- Guy?

- The guy that just ran off.

- I dunno.

- You don't know?

- I don't remember.

- You don't remember?

Are you OK?

Do you wanna see a doctor?

- I'm OK.

- You're OK.

She's OK. Show's over.

She's with me, she's OK.

Sit down?

Do you remember anything?

I don't know.

How did you get here?

I don't know.

Do you remember what

you had for breakfast?

I don't know.

You are Susan, aren't you?

- Susan?

- You don't know.

All right, what do we have here?

No purse?

Do you have anything in

your pockets, maybe?

Is that it?

Now we're getting someplace.

This is my phone number.

Jim must have given it to you.

This is like a dj vu.

How can you have a dj vu if

you don't remember anything?

No, no. I mean...

this is all dj vu.

This is a Port Authority locker key.

I tell you what. I'm gonna run

you up to the Port Authority.

Maybe what's ever in the locker will

help you snap out of it. How's that?

- OK.

- OK.

Let's go.

Wait a minute.

This isn't some sort of trick, is it?

- What do you mean?

- I mean I know a little bit about you, OK?

So don't even consider jerking me around

because I'm not in a great mood today.

Sure, I mean, I wouldn't...

jerk you around.

I don't even know you.

You better wear this.

I hope it's filled

with something good.

Look at this!

You sure do move around a lot, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

So this stuff does

look familiar, right?

Well, it's not completely unfamiliar.

You know, when I close

my eyes I see a pyramid.

A pyramid?

Like on your jacket?

Oh, yeah. That must be what it is.

At least you got everything.

I hope you're feeling better.

- You are feeling better?

- Yeah.

Good. I gotta go.

I gotta get that scooter back.

So... I'll see you around

maybe sometime, huh?

Maybe... I'll see you with Jim.

OK? All right, take care! Bye.

Bye.

Susan!

Have you got a place

to sleep tonight?

You can sleep at my place.

One night... on the couch.

But I don't want any drama.

I don't want your

friends coming over.

And I want nothing disappearing

from my apartment. You got that?

Maybe you should quit?

Maybe.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

OK, you. You're outta here.

It's about time.

I don't believe it.
