Desperately Seeking Susan Page #6

you doesn't mean sh*t.

She plays with people, Dez. I oughta

know, I've been chasing her for years.

I don't think she's playing with me.

Bullshit.

All right, Jim.

Why don't we just ask her?

Susan!

Su...! You mean she's here?!

Susan!

- Come on out here.

- Susan...!

Susan!

She's gone.

She was here.

I swear to God.

Dez, are you up there?

Yeah?

Guess what, man? I think

she's jerking us both around.

What do you mean?

Check this out. I mean,

who the hell is this stranger?

Susan, I still don't

understand why we're here.

Trust me, Gar.

You're in for a real surprise.

Your surprises are beginning

to make me nervous.

- What'd she say?

- We're in for a real surprise.

I guess we're not gonna

see Tony Bennett here.

I'd settle for a police escort.

How could you let her

wear Roberta's jacket?

Hey, she's cold.

She's gotta wear something.

Why don't you cut your fingernails?

I can't hear what you're saying...

Dez, if she sees us both here,

she'll probably just split again.

You could go home.

I wanna see who this

f***in' stranger is.

Let me guess. Triple tequila sunrise.

Ginger ale.

And you're the Scotch.

This must be yours.

Rum and Tab.

Sit tight. I'm gonna go

look for the stranger.

What stranger?

- God, she's gorgeous.

- Beauty fades.

There she is.

- Where?

- Right there. Talking to the cigarette girl.

That's not Susan. I never

even seen that girl before.

Dez, that's Susan.

Don't you think I should know?

That might be a Susan

but that's not my Susan.

- That's my Susan.

- Then who was the girl at Battery Park?

So who's the stranger?

Jimmy!

Who's the stranger?

- It's a long story.

- Huh.

You wouldn't know her anyway.

- Her?

- Yeah. Her.

Come on. We'll talk

about it in private.

We've got three minutes

before curtain!

Get your wig on and get out there!

I wonder what happened to Susan.

Looks like you lost your girlfriend.

Hey, Larry! I'm married, all right?

- Oh, please!

- What?

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.

Welcome to the Magic Club.

I'm your host, Ray...

Bartender... Can I have

the check, please?

Hey, is there anyone out

here from... Queens?

You. Well, I'm from

normal parents myself.

Anyway, we got a special treat

for you people this evening.

Introducing the one, the only...

Susan, get up here!

and his very lovely

assistant, Davina...

Queen of the Night! So let's hear it!

Gary... Is that...

It can't be.

I'm really enjoying this.

It's a great trick.

Susan?

- Roberta?

- I don't believe it.

- Roberta...

- Gary, sit down.

I think I'll be staying, thank you.

Cigars? Cigarettes?

She's really got style in a way.

She's good, Gary.

Right. Sorry.

Bravo!

That's him. That's the guy.

That's the guy!

Hey, help me!

Hey! That's the guy!

That's the guy! Help!

Somebody stop that guy! Help!

What... Roberta!

- Roberta!

- Who are you?

What's going on?!

- Did he hurt you? I'll kill him!

- Gary!

- It's OK, I can take care of it now.

- Who is this guy?

Who are you?

What do you mean, who am I?

- Please...

- Oh.

Gary... Dez.

Dez, this is Gary, my husband.

Hi.

- The hot-tub salesman?

- Yeah.

So you were telling me

the truth last night.

Last night? Oh, no.

- Did you spend the night with him?

- Gary...

- Is he the pimp the police mentioned?

- He's not a pimp!

I'm not a pimp. I'm a friend of hers.

- Somebody tell me what's going on!

- I'm not sure myself.

- I'm having a hard time...

- So am I!

Wait a minute! Wait a minute!

Please, wait a minute, wait a minute.

OK, listen.

Dez. Dez, I really need to talk

to Gary alone, OK? Please?

OK.

I really need some time alone too.

I'm sorry.

It's all right. It's all right.

The nightmare's over.

Don't make a peep.

You're gonna get me outta here.

Nice legs.

- I don't understand why you're here.

- Why are you here?

Wait a minute. Never mind that.

Why did you leave me?

It was sort of an accident.

When you were soliciting,

that was an accident, too?

Yes, of course! Gary!

It all started with the personals.

There was this ad for Susan.

"Desperately seeking Susan."

Where did he go?

So they thought I was a

prostitute and arrested me.

Roberta, are you a lesbian?

Leslie said lots of

prostitutes are lesbians.

Gary, you're not listening to me.

I'm not a prostitute or a lesbian!

We'll get professional help.

I don't care how much it costs.

- I just want you to come home with me.

- Why?

Why? What do you mean, why?

Why do you want me to

come home with you?

Come on, don't get

excited, all right?

What, are you on drugs

or something now?

God.

Look at me.

I looked at you. You look ridiculous.

I mean look at me, Gary. Look at me.

I'm not coming home with you.

You're just tired.

Why don't you get changed

and we'll talk about it at home?

Come on. Come on.

Fine. That's fine.

I'm gonna go outside and

I'm gonna wait for five minutes.

And if you're not there,

I'm gonna leave without you.

Goodbye, Gary.

Hey! Whoa!

Where did you get this?

Stay!

Susan, what's going on?

Help me!

Don't push!

Good goin', stranger.

Susan.

Hi.

What's going on?

My friend, this is

the crucial moment.

Our force field power plant has

been transferred to the ship.

Our defences are at their weakest,

almost fully automatic.

The likelihood of a successful

mutant attack is at its strongest.

- But they may be unaware.

- We've tried to keep them away...

- Hi.

- Hi.

Huh. How are you doin'?

OK.

So I guess your name

isn't Susan, huh?

So what is it?

Roberta.

Roberta.

That's nice.

Come on!

And you can dance!

For inspiration

Come on, come on, come on

I'm waiting

Get into the groove

Boy, you've got to prove

your love to me

Get up on your feet, yeah

Yeah, step to the beat

Boy, what will it be?

Music can be such a revelation

Dancing around

You feel the sweet sensation

We might be lovers

if the rhythm's right

I hope this feeling

never ends tonight

Only when I'm dancing

can I feel this free

At night I lock the doors

where no one else can see

I'm tired of dancing

here all by myself

Tonight I wanna dance

with someone else

Get into the groove

Boy, you've got to prove

your love to me, yeah

Get up on your feet

Yeah, step to the beat

Boy, what will it be?

Gonna get to know you

in a special way

This doesn't happen to me every day

Don't try to hide it,

love wears no disguise

I see the fire burning in your eyes

Only when I'm dancing

can I feel this free

At night I lock the doors

where no one else can see

I'm tired of dancing

here all by myself

Tonight I wanna dance

with someone else

Get into the groove

Boy, you've got to prove

your love to me yeah

Get up on your feet

Yeah, step to the beat

Boy, what will it be?

Live out your fantasy here with me

Just let the music set you free

Touch my body and move in time

Now I know you're mine

Get into the groove

Boy, you've got to

prove your love to me

Get up on your feet

yeah, step to the beat

Boy, what will it be?

Only when I'm dancing
