Girlfriends Page #4

Synopsis: In New York City, Susan Weinblatt and Anne Munroe are longtime roommates and friends. Susan is a struggling photographer who wants to get out of the wedding and bar mitzvah racket, those jobs which she primarily gets through her friend, Rabbi Gold, to selling the photographs she wants to take, but she realizes that she has to pay the rent. Anne is an aspiring poet and academic who looks to Susan as her primary guidance. As they move into a new apartment, Anne drops the news that she will not be moving in as she is getting married to her boyfriend, Martin. This news is bittersweet for Susan who is somewhat happy for her friend, but isn't sure if she likes all that Martin now represents to her. Both Susan and Anne will have to make professional and personal adjustments to their new situations, especially in what it means for not having the other as a constant in each their lives. While Anne has a "Martin", Susan has no one currently to replace all that Anne has been in her life. So Susan

I usually use for pictures.

So if you could maybe

wash your stuff out in the tub?

Oh, I'm sorry.

You want to come?

Not now.

No. It starts at 7:00.

Maybe.

I studied with him for a while.

Really?

All you have to do

is say you're busy.

I'm busy.

But you'll come?

When I'm not busy anymore.

Good.

@Hi.

Hi.

Bermans' contact sheets.

That was quick.

Dad, come on.

We gonna be late.

- David's coming in our car, OK?

- Fine.

Come on, dad.

Let's go.

We'll go when I'm ready, Peter.

I'll meet you in the car.

I guess there's not

much time for lunch.

I did try to call you.

H- he managed to get the tickets

at the last minute.

Yes, Jessie.

Yes.

Well, it's...

isn't the Schieffer Auditorium

large enough?

I don't know how I got myself

talked into this.

But it's the last one, Aaron.

How many hours?

You need two hours?

How many chairs?

300 pounds of fruit?

That's a lot of fruit, isn't Jessie?

It's the last time, Aaron.

Yes.

Yes, Jessie, right.

Well, hello.

Hi.

You ever been to a football game?

No.

You keep it that way.

Eleanor, this is Susan Weinblatt.

Susan, this is my wife Eleanor.

I'll meet you in the car, dear.

Oh. Sure.

I'm in no rush, believe me.

Nice to meet you, Susan.

I'm sorry, Susan.

Hey! Nice shirt.

I have one just like it.

Its beautiful. I love it.

Do you mind?

No, it's all right.

Anne called.

Oh, thanks.

Ceil, do you have

another place to stay?

W- what do you mean?

It's not working for me.

What?

You're staying here.

But I...

You never let me know

I was in your way.

Did I do something?

No. It's not any one thing.

Do you want some money for rent?

I just want to be alone.

OK.

I'd like to see Mr. Carpel.

I don't have an appointment,

but I don't need much time either.

Mr. Carpel never sees anyone

without an appointment.

It will only take a minute.

I'm sorry, but Mr. Carpel never sees

anyone without an appointment.

Can I make an appointment

with him, then?

I'm not his secretary.

His secretary's the only one who

can make an appointment with him,

and she's out for lunch.

Can I make an appointment

with the secretary

so I can make an appointment

with Mr. Carpel?

Why don't you come back

later this afternoon?

Why don't I?

Would you please tell him that Leon

Cassini told me to get in touch with him?

He did?

Would you please tell him that?

Mr. Carpel,

there's a, uh, Ms....

Weinblatt.

Weinblatt here to see you.

She says Leon sent her.

You can go in now.

Where have you shown before?

Uh, nowhere.

Mm-hmm.

You know the story.

I mean, you can't have a show

until you've...

Not bad.

Not bad.

Thank you.

But, uh, they're not for me.

Oh.

Well, can you suggest

another gallery?

How do you know Leon?

How do I know Leon?

I don't.

Thought so.

He always calls before

he sends somebody over.

Hello?

Beatrice?

Yes, Simon. Yeah.

Yes, I know.

Yes, isn't he?

Look, Beatrice,

I've got somebody here

I think you want to meet.

She's good.

Yeah. Funny.

Uh-huh.

All right, then, I will.

OK. Yeah, bye.

Ciao.

She's looking for photographers...

new ones.

There you are.

Thank you.

Um, who is Beatrice?

Beatrice has excellent taste.

She's going to own a very important

gallery one of these days.

Now, if you'll excuse me,

I do have to speak

to an angry young man, so, um...

Thank you very much.

Goodbye.

I really appreciate it.

I know.

Bye.

Susan?

This is Julie.

I need those prints next week.

I should be in New York on Tuesday.

So call me in Vermont somet time before that

so we can figure out where to meet.

Bye.

Susan?

Hi, this is Eric.

I... don't know if you remember me.

We met at a party a couple of months ago.

Call me and leave your number.

I'll give you my number.

Then you leave your number

on my number, OK?

212-475-7173.

It's Eric.

Can I come up?

OK.

Hi.

Hi.

I lost my wallet.

Can I use the phone?

Yeah, sure.

It's over there.

I'd like to report

a stolen credit card, please...

In the last 30 minutes.

What credit cards did you lose?

All of them.

Th-that's correct.

No, I don't know the number.

So, how are you?

- OK.

- Allen.

Two Is and an "e. "

Allen.

135 Broome Street.

1-

0-0-

1-3.

This is incredible.

I have to replace my bike keys,

I need a new faculty card...

Thanks.

It's just a goddamn

pain in the ass, you know?

I mean, some clown

is going to inherit $35

and an autographed picture

of Enos Slaughter.

Who's he?

He played 19 years in the majors.

Lifetime. 300 average.

So could you grab the other end of this

so I can see where to hang it?

So?

So what?

So, why did you leave?

Uh...

Well, I was just coming out of

a heavy relationship.

You were living together?

Mm-hmm.

Howdy.

Oh, hi.

You made it.

- Is that for me?

- Yeah, here.

This is terrific, Susan.

I got a batch more

for you in the trunk of my car.

Julie, I'm not going to be able

to work for you anymore.

What?

Did you get another job?

Well, actually...

I got a show.

A show?

Yeah.

Here.

Here?

Why didn't you tell me

in the first place?

Congratulations.

Thank you.

I'm very impressed.

Well, you know...

I'm jealous.

You?

Yes, I am, you squirt.

Julie, listen.

She's looking for

another photographer.

Maybe... maybe you should

go in and talk to her.

I will.

OK.

Right now.

Go ahead.

- OK.

- OK.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye.

Did you ever get the mumps, big duck?

Big ducks don't get the mumps, silly.

- No?

- No.

They only get special diseases, like

aim and phobia,

savaloney.

No, really, Eric.

Did you ever get the mumps?

Really?

Really, really?

Really, really.

Well...

Um...

When I was 8,

I had the... measles.

Yeah?

Yeah.

When I was 6, I had...

chicken pox.

Yeah.

And...

- You don't remember?

- I don't remember.

What's your number?

What do you mean?

Your home number.

Your parents' number.

What are you doing?

I'm gonna call your mother.

Why?

Well, she'll remember if you had them.

Well, Susan, I mean,

couldn't we just do this later?

I mean, what's the big deal

about the mumps anyway?

If you didn't have them

when you were a kid,

OK,

and you get them now

when you're an adult,

you know what happens to you?

They'll leave you sterile.

914...

Yes?

Yes?

S- O-3...

Uh, mom, uh?

I just wanted to ask you a question.

I was wondering if, uh,

if I ever had the mumps.

No.

No, I'm not sick.

I feel... I feel fine.

I just have to fill in some form

for a... a teaching job,

and I remember having

the measles and everything,

but I... I just

didn't remember having...

well, maybe you could

check with dad, you know.

Oh.

You sure?

OK.

Bye.

You look like a little duck.

Swan.

Like to hear my, uh...

Song?

Your swan song?

Yeah.

No.

This one here I would like

in the center,

a little bit higher than the others.

- Right.

- With this one...

- That's what I'm saying.

You could change the order

of those two. Is that possible?

No, I can't.

This one was taken earlier.

- They're all in chronological order.
