Impulse Page #2

All right, all right, enough with the theories.

Hey,

I want to make a toast.

- To your new campaign.

- Thank you.

Good luck with that,

and I just want to say maybe

sometime when you're out of town,

and you're lonely

in one of your hotel rooms,

a certain Italian gentleman will turn up.

And he'll do all kinds of

very bad things to you.

To Roberto.

These brain scans tell us who is suffering

and who is not.

Now let me just say

that I don't believe that there is

any one person in this room

who can claim for themselves

the title of "normal." I know I can't.

I definitely have a touch of crazy in me.

We all do.

Delays in treatment

can lead to multiple personality disorder,

serious paranoid delusional states,

violent rages,

suicide, self-abuse,

rape,

and murder.

Son of Sam,

Charles Manson,

Aileen Wuornos,

Jeffrey Dahmer.

And it all begins here.

- Hey, you.

- Hi!

- You have a long day?

- Just like all of them.

- Did you eat?

- Yeah,

I grabbed something from the set

before I left.

- Don't forget to eat.

- Yes, Dad.

- How was your day?

- Office,

hospital, university, back to the office.

- You're still at the office?

- Yeah.

Gotta take some

time off tomorrow morning for a haircut,

so I just have to clean up a few things here.

Go to Beverly.

Claire, she's 65 dollars.

I mean, my guy is 12.

Honey, sometimes a good haircut

is worth it.

Are you sure you're at the office

and you're not cheating on me?

No.

Stop it.

What would you do if I was at the office?

What would you do if I was there

wearing nothing but an overcoat?

What would you do to me?

Well, I'm actually researching that

as we speak. Right now.

How would you satisfy me?

Well, Freud says

that in order to understand sexual fantasy

you have to first consider

more general aspects of fantasy.

- Then he goes on to say...

- Jonathan.

Claire, it's very interesting. If you...

Claire?

I need to finish these temps, honey.

Okay.

All right, well, night.

Same.

Roberto.

Roberto.

- I can't do that.

- Yes, you can.

No, I can't do that, Claire.

- I'd like to, but I can't.

- Yes, you can.

Claire?

- I can't do that.

- Yeah, can you just be quiet?

Just for a minute.

Oh, my God.

Well, what's God got to do with this, Claire?

Just shut up!

Okay, thank you, everyone!

That's gonna be a wrap.

Nice work, kids.

- Yeah, it's a pretty good image.

- Yeah.

We'll shoot the product in studio next week.

- Perfect.

- All right. See you then.

Hey, Jonathan, it's me.

I've left you a couple messages.

Where are you?

Anyways, we've finished here,

and I was gonna come home tonight,

but I'm just beat.

I'm gonna get a bite at the hotel

and I'll see you in the morning.

Where are you?

Please call me back. All right, bye.

Can I get you something else?

I'm not hungry,

but can I get another Black Label?

- Certainly.

- Thanks.

Black Label on the rocks.

Make it a large one.

Surprise me when I least expect it.

Yeah.

Hey, Roberto.

Hey.

I don't think I know you.

Don't think.

Drink.

I was wet the moment I saw you.

You know what?

The hell with you. It's too much trouble.

Go to hell.

Okay.

Hey.

How do I know

you're not gonna kick me in the balls again?

You don't.

You know, I have to be in New York

on the 23rd.

Think Roberto can make an appearance?

I like Roberto.

Ciao, babe.

- Hey, Doc.

- Hello, Hector.

I was wondering, Doc,

if I could sit in on one of your lectures.

- Just don't heckle me.

- Thanks, Doc.

- By the way.

- Yeah?

- Rachel's in a hell of a mood today.

- Hell of a mood today.

Why should today be any different, huh?

- Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Claire, why don't you just join the club?

- We all need them sooner or later.

- Very nice.

It's just dim in here.

I don't really need them.

I said that for years

before I finally broke down.

Let me tell you, this is night and day

compared to last night's boring fundraiser.

No, no, no. I thought Jonathan's speech

was a highlight.

I did try to lighten it up.

- Just a little soupon...

- Yeah, well, you succeeded.

- Now, the rest was boring.

- Speaking of which...

God, and that woman. What was that about?

The wine list, please. Garon?

Garon. The wine list, please.

Well, Paul was in a feisty mood tonight,

- wasn't he?

- I didn't notice.

Yeah. His insistence on paying the check

was forceful to say the least.

I think he was paying for it

because he was embarrassed

by Joan's behavior.

She's obviously jealous of you.

Did you notice that?

- I don't think that's the case.

- Yeah.

Sniping. She's sniping.

Her husband didn't say a word all dinner

outside of ordering the duck.

Forty-five dollars. No, thank you.

Honey, do you really wanna

talk about the duck?

- Blinds?

- I already closed them.

- No Roberto?

- Roberto?

That's okay.

All right, let's start with the photographer.

Who's available on the 23rd?

- Bill Anderson. He did the Altman campaign.

- Too financial. It's not what they want.

- What about a crossover guy?

- Like J. Hurley?

I talked to Hurley last weekend at a party.

This guy puts in anime

- in everything that he does.

- It sells.

- What do you think, Claire?

- No anime,

but I do think a music video photographer's

a really good direction.

You guys get me the crossover books.

We've got carte blanche on this deal,

so we want to be impressive early.

- Sounds good.

- All right, good work, kids. Thanks.

- Thanks.

- Thanks.

- Anything else, CD?

- Just the door, hon. Thanks.

Okay.

There's a small dress shop in the Village.

La Petite Boutique.

Leave the dressing room aurtain

partially open.

On the first night, wear it.

Go out. Eat alone.

Somewhere niae. I'll be watahing you.

Every move. Every step.

Before you leave the restaurant,

slide your panties off.

Leave them in a napkin.

The aheak is already paid for.

Leave a note for me at the front desk.

Tell me the room number.

Go up to your room.

Turn the lights out.

Leave the door unloaked

and the aurtains wide open.

Do not look at me.

Don't look at me.

Your skin is so soft.

Why are you trembling?

- How much did the dress cost?

- It was cheap.

How much?

Three hundred dollars.

Three hundred dollars?

It's too bad you only get to wear it once.

Don't look at me.

I can be

anyone you want me to be, Claire.

Just be Jonathan.

- Be Jonathan.

- Be Jonathan. Be Jonathan.

Jonathan.

I can be Jonathan.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Yes.

Yes.

I love you.

- Hey.

- Good morning.

- Good morning.

- I know you're busy today,

but I just wanted to aall you

before you get into things

and say hi.

- Where are you?

- I'm at home.

I was thinking, maybe, you know,

when you're done with the shoot,

we aould go up to the aabin.

Yeah? 'Cause the weather's gonna be great,

and you know, just be nice

to get away for a long weekend, you know,

maybe spend some time together.

And maybe Roberto

will make an appearance.

Sure, sounds great.

- Claire?

- Yeah?
