Nineteen.

You know, the English... People tell you

the English are cold and reserved.

I really like them.

I mean, they're warm. They're giving.

They give.

At least, I hope they give.

Know what I mean?

- Here.

- Too late, sir.

- Fourteen.

- Card.

Well, you keep them here then,

and if you win, I win.

I'd rather you played for me anyway.

That's why I don't have any

of those masculine pretensions, you know,

that the man has to run things.

I don't believe that's necessarily true.

If a woman has a brain,

give her the opportunity to use it,

along with other parts.

- Fourteen.

- Card.

Right?

- You think I'm charming?

- Your bet again.

Say,

you're not going to believe this.

I'm looking for a woman.

What do you think? What do you say?

Well, I don't know anything about that.

Because I'm going to tell you the reason.

There are these two guys.

There's two guys,

and they want me to do this thing, and...

- Go away.

- You mean it now, don't you?

- I certainly did mean it. Yes.

- Or we'll call the manager.

Here's the thing that I'm going to tell you.

I'm going to tell you a...

I'm going to tell you something.

I'm going to tell you something now.

I...

Excuse me, ma'am, don't leave.

Don't leave.

Listen to me.

Here's the thing. I'm looking for...

I'm looking for a girl.

- Do you know any?

- Well, yes, but not the sort...

- Come on, lad.

- Why are you telling us all this?

Because I don't know

anybody else in London.

That's a joke. It's a joke!

I don't think it's very funny.

I'm sorry, but we are waiting for somebody.

- Right, right.

- Lf you don't mind.

- Thank you.

- Right.

Awful. Right? Awful!

- Yes.

- Just awful!

He's mad.

Why don't you sit down?

I'll buy you a drink.

What do you drink? That's terrific.

- What do you drink?

- I'll have a whiskey, please.

You'll have a whiskey. Is that like Scotch?

- Yes, same thing.

- Two Scotch.

I could drink you under the table.

- Bet you couldn't.

- Yeah, I can drink you

right under the table.

I bet you couldn't.

Thank you.

- How did you know I was a Leo?

- How did I know you were a Leo?

There were certain indications.

I looked into your eyes,

I saw it right away. Leo.

You must be a...

You must be a Sagittarian.

Aren't you?

Give me a cigarette there, please.

That's the most amazing thing

I've ever heard.

- But you're very short.

- I'm a Sagittarian, and I'm short.

- Short Sagittarian.

- You have such observation powers,

I can't believe it,

but I have a lot of charm, don't I?

Thing is I'm quite tall.

Yes, I believe that,

but you're also very intelligent

and you're...

You have a biting tongue.

And you're... You... You...

I don't know what you do. Let's see.

You're a...

Gosh, I don't know anything about you.

You're a...

You're a...

Just give me an hour, and I'll think of it.

You're...

Do you like art, theater, music,

language, religion, politics?

- No, I don't like politics.

- What languages do you speak?

- None.

- None?

- English, I'm afraid.

- Do you understand French?

- No.

- I'm going to give you a little bit of French.

Sounds awful. What is it?

It was so dirty, I can't tell you.

You like Italian?

You're making it up. It's not real.

It's not real?

It's not real to you, but it's real to me.

Now watch, can you understand this better?

I love you.

Or can you understand this better?

It doesn't matter

if I repeat it again and again.

You like...

What else do you like?

What are

the Romance languages that interest you?

- What, the sound of them, you mean?

John Cassavetes

John Nicholas Cassavetes (; December 9, 1929 – February 3, 1989) was a Greek-American actor, film director, and screenwriter. Cassavetes was a pioneer of American independent film, writing and directing over a dozen movies, which he partially self-financed, and pioneered the use of improvisation and a cinéma vérité style. He also acted in many Hollywood films, notably Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Dirty Dozen (1967). He studied acting with Don Richardson, utilizing an alternative technique to method acting which privileged character over traditional narrative. His income from acting made it possible for him to direct his own films independently.Cassavetes was nominated for three separate Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor for The Dirty Dozen (1967), Best Original Screenplay for Faces (1968) and Best Director for A Woman Under the Influence (1974). His children Nick Cassavetes, Zoe Cassavetes, and Xan Cassavetes are also filmmakers. more…
