Girlfriends Page #2

No, this is Casablanca.

No, honey, that was Rabat.

Remember?

No, Rabat was where

we had the picnic.

No, we had the picnic in Agadir.

Oh... right.

Right.

Whoops.

I guess we forgot to...

So, what did you buy?

Oh, wait a minute.

I'll show you.

Martin, show the rest

of these to Susan.

We'll wait for you, honey.

I'll be back in a minute.

OK.

Coffee?

Yes, please.

- It's Moroccan.

- Oh.

- Sugar?

- No, thank you.

Cream?

Do you have any milk?

Uh... no.

I'm sorry.

That's all right.

I'll just have it black, then.

OK.

Thank you.

I just want to show these to Susan.

Here, honey.

Whoa! Careful.

Wouldn't kill her on

her first day here.

Now, this...

This is very old.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

I love it.

Oh, I think that's exquisite.

What's it made of?

It's pure ivory.

Beautiful.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Lovely.

And this is for you.

Oh, Annie.

Oh, God. I told you

we should have got the other one.

I think we could have it altered

or something.

Don't worry.

When we go to Italy,

we're writing down

everybody's sizes.

Did you try some coffee?

It's Moroccan.

Yes. I like it.

Where's the bathroom?

- The second door on the left.

- Thank you.

We find acting out

genuinely satisfying.

We do, do we?

Contestant number one,

what kind of movie

would you like to take a girl to

on your first date?

Probably a John Ford western

because I identify

with John Wayne.

Take your glasses off for me, OK?

But I can't see.

That's all right.

I can. Trust me.

You have a great face. I don't

know why you're hiding it.

What do you think of this?

Your face isn't shaped like hers.

It wouldn't work on you.

Will anything?

Let me see.

May I help you?

Yes. I dropped off

some pictures last week.

I'm here to see the photo editor.

What's your name?

Weinblatt, Susan.

Here you go.

Can I see her now?

No. I'm sorry.

She's busy.

She'll get in touch with you

if she wants anything.

Julie...

didn't you used to go...

Yes. Hi. How are you?

Great. Great.

So you stuck with it, I see.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm trying to.

You, too, huh?

I got too much work.

If I lived here, I wouldn't

have time for anything else.

Oh, where you living?

Vermont.

You come down for work?

Mm-hmm.

How's Neil?

Wonderful.

You know, I sold three pictures

a few months ago.

Great. What are you

working on now?

I have a few things cooking.

Actually,

I have nothing cooking...

At all.

Well, what about those people

you sold the pictures to?

You been back there?

No.

What are you waiting for?

Nothing.

Susan, you've got to stay

on top of these people.

They love to feel

they're being pursued

by hundreds of young,

energetic women.

Get it?

Yeah, I see.

Living alone definitely

has its advantages.

Yeah? What?

Eating when you want,

coming home when you want,

doing what you want

when you get there.

I love it.

What about Neil?

He's fine.

We both are.

We split.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It was the best thing for us.

Susan, I've got a meeting.

I've got to go.

Listen, Julie,

do you think you might...

you might need

an assistant sometime?

Yeah, I might. Sure.

See? You're catching on.

Keep in touch.

Susan!

Susan, uh, uh, uh, uh...

Weinblatt.

Hey, come on in.

Sit down.

How have you been, Susan?

Great.

Have you seen the proofs

of the magazine?

No.

Shelly, would you bring in the proofs

of the new issue?

Wait till you see it.

Your work is good,

Susan. Very good.

Thanks.

I'd just like to show you

some of my more recent...

You got to work closer.

That's the problem.

You got to walk right up to people

with your camera.

You got to take that lens

and get it right in their faces.

That close?

That close.

Well, anyway,

here are some pictures...

You know, talent is...

thank you.

Now, where the hell are they?

Let's see.

Oh, yeah.

Here we go.

Thank you.

This one's cropped.

Huh?

This one's cropped.

Oh, yeah.

I felt that the blonde in the bed

needed reframing.

See what I mean? That little bit

makes all the difference.

Yeah.

Well, um...

We don't really need

anything right now,

but I'll call you when we do.

Fine.

Yes, Mrs. Berman, I'd be very happy

to marry you and Mr. Berman again.

Don't be silly.

Look, why don't I turn you over to Callie

and let her arrange a date for us?

Callie, will you set up another

day for the Bermans again?

Yes, yes. Again.

Ah.

Your move.

The Bermans are still at it?

Hmm. That's true love for you.

Or true boredom.

My favorite cynic.

You know, I must've seen about

50 people in the last 3 days.

"Yes, your work is good, very good,

"but we're just not needing

anything right now.

"Why not try Ms. magazine?

You have a very good eye,

young lady. "

Young lady, young lady!

You know, I'm gonna be old before I get to

do what I want,

then I'll have forgotten

what it was.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Have you forgotten that you just had

three pictures accepted?

Two.

Two.

One of them was cropped.

What?

It was cropped, changed.

It's not mine anymore.

So what did you do about that?

Nothing.

I'm too chickenshit.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself.

Jesus.

Jesus?

Have a nice weekend, Callie.

Oh, you, too, darlin'.

You have a photographer

for the Bermans if you want one.

You?

Yeah, me.

Unless you want to pay

my coned bill.

My rent.

Buy me a new lens.

A house in the country.

Fresh shrimp every night.

A trip to South America.

Hi, Ter.

How you doing?

Listen, you want to go

to a 10:
00 movie tonight?

Oh.

All right.

Well, have a good time.

Yeah. Give me a call later.

Love to Jack. Bye.

Hello. This is the recorded

voice of S. Weinblatt.

Uh, "S" stands for Salome.

And today's fruit is the plum.

Bye.

Yeah. I... I need a break.

Oh, did I tell you? I'm doing

a four-page spread for Vogue.

Over on the...

West Side...

Where they're tearing it down

and it looks like... like some

holocaust has ripped apart the city.

Lots of gray and brown, I think.

At dawn.

Park.

I hate it.

I hate it!

Dear aunt Cheryl...

Thank you...

For the...

hideous...

Buddha...

which we will...

bury.

Let's stop smoking.

OK.

Think we can do it?

Yeah. Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

When shall we start?

Uh... Now.

Now?

Yeah.

OK.

- Good luck.

- Yeah. Same to you, honey.

- Let's go to the movies.

- We have to finish, Annie.

We are very late.

I think I'll invite Susan up

for the weekend.

OK.

She's probably busy, though.

Yeah, probably.

It's really late.

I'll try her anyway.

OK.

What are you doing?

I don't think your friend

likes me very much.

Martin, don't be ridiculous.

You're being ridiculous.

I am?

I hate to bother you,

but my car has broken down.

I need a jack.

Hey...

Si, signorina?

Do you have any more of those

Moroccan cigarettes?

No. We quit.

Oh.

Well, mazel tov.

You need any help?

No.

Grazie.

Grazie.

Annie says that you are a great cook.

Hey, Suze!

Was the bed OK?

Perfecto.

Scusi, inamorata.

Excuse me.

Ahh. Oh, no...

Mangia!

It smells wonderful.
