John and Mary Page #13

Synopsis: It's the morning after John and Mary's first sexual encounter with each other, which took place in his New York City loft apartment. They had only met for the first time the previous evening at a crowded trendy pick-up bar. They are both uncomfortable with the situation but don't want to show that discomfort to the other. They both realize that they don't know anything substantial about the other - including not even knowing each other's name - as each tries through whatever secret means to find out with who he/she just slept. As they slowly find out more about the other, they inject their own perception into the information, which is sometimes not quite reality. Over the next few hours, they, together and individually, will try to determine if there is any potential future for them, which includes their thoughts about the current most significant other in their respective lives, one who is more significant than the other, and their feelings about what they think the other person is th

01:
25:31,581 -- 01:25:33,674

Hey, buddy.!

1104

01:
25:34,884 -- 01:25:36,977

- Stanley.

- Well, did you get laid?

1105

01:
25:37,053 -- 01:25:40,113

- Have you seen her?

- What, that broad you left with last night?

1106

01:
25:40,189 -- 01:25:43,955

No, I didn't see-

Hey, give my friend a beer, will ya?

1107

01:
25:44,026 -- 01:25:46,085

I don't even know her name.

1108

01:
25:46,162 -- 01:25:48,289

Listen, man.

You got lucky. Be thankful.

1109

01:
25:48,364 -- 01:25:51,527

You know what happened to me?

I put in an hour's charm and witty conversation...

1110

01:
25:51,601 -- 01:25:54,536

to find out that this neurotic wreck

I was with had the curse.

1111

01:
25:54,604 -- 01:25:57,437

I must be out of my mind.

I didn't even ask her her name.

1112

01:
25:57,507 -- 01:25:59,702

You know what's in the back

of their minds sometime?

1113

01:
25:59,776 -- 01:26:01,869

I'll tell you. It's-

1114

01:
26:01,944 -- 01:26:04,037

It's not good clean sex

they're after, you know.

1115

01:
26:04,113 -- 01:26:06,513

It's a weird, perverted trip to city hall.

1116

01:
26:06,582 -- 01:26:08,709

- I have to find her.

- Wait a minute, will you?

1117

01:
26:08,785 -- 01:26:12,118

- Have your beer. Relax. She'll be around.

- What do you mean?

1118

01:
26:12,188 -- 01:26:14,679

- For God's sake, man.

- What are you talkin' about?

1119

01:
26:14,757 -- 01:26:17,282

Look, she's got another

two nights' hunting...

1120

01:
26:17,360 -- 01:26:21,694

before she turns up all pale and interesting

in the office Monday morning.

1121

01:
26:21,764 -- 01:26:25,029

- You idiot. You're an idiot.

- What's the matter with you, man?

1122

01:
26:25,101 -- 01:26:27,194

- Hey, man, what-

- You don't call me, man.

1123

01:
26:27,270 -- 01:26:29,363

Hey, what-

1124

01:
26:32,475 -- 01:26:35,239

[ Him ]

Murray Hill. She said the Murray Hill area.

1125

01:
26:35,311 -- 01:26:38,644

That's where we are, chief.

Any particular street you got in mind?

1126

01:
26:38,714 -- 01:26:41,114

Turn here.

Right here. Right here.

1127

01:
26:44,821 -- 01:26:47,847

This must be it.

There's trees on the street.

1128

01:
26:47,924 -- 01:26:52,327

[ Chuckles ]

Now all we need is a clock that stopped in 1 930.

1129

01:
26:52,395 -- 01:26:55,796

Oh, I get it.

This is one of those television shows.

1130

01:
27:00,169 -- 01:27:02,603

[ Door Opens ]

1131

01:
27:02,672 -- 01:27:05,163

Officer?

I'm looking for a street with trees.

1132

01:
27:05,241 -- 01:27:09,644

It's a very respectable area.

Only one or two stabbings a week. Do you, uh-

1133

01:
27:14,417 -- 01:27:17,113

No, no, no.

You don't-You don't understand.

1134

01:
27:24,527 -- 01:27:27,052

Sir? Pardon me.

Do you live around here?

1135

01:
27:27,129 -- 01:27:30,860

- Why, yes. I live at-

- Do you know an apartment with three girls in it?

1136

01:
27:30,933 -- 01:27:32,958

- Girls?

- Yeah. Three-

1137

01:
27:33,035 -- 01:27:36,664

Oh. I'm... sorry.

1138

01:
27:43,312 -- 01:27:47,112

Let's face it, buddy. You don't know

where the hell you wanna go.

1139

01:
27:47,183 -- 01:27:49,481

Let's go home, huh? Home?

1140

01:
27:50,519 -- 01:27:52,612

Yeah. I guess you're right.

1141

01:
27:52,688 -- 01:27:55,248

All right. So where's home?

1142

01:
27:55,324 -- 01:27:59,727

- Fifty-two Riverside Drive.

- Fifty-two Riverside Drive. Okay.

1143

01:
28:26,188 -- 01:28:30,818

- Dinner's not ready yet.

- What?

1144

01:
28:30,893 -- 01:28:33,828

Didn't expect you back so soon.

1145

01:
28:38,367 -- 01:28:41,359

- I was looking for you.

- I know.

1146

01:
28:44,874 -- 01:28:47,274

You didn't go.

1147

01:
28:47,343 -- 01:28:50,039

I came in here, and I-I...

1148

01:
28:50,112 -- 01:28:53,604

sat down, and I- I thought-

1149

01:
28:53,683 -- 01:28:55,742

And I thought, uh...

1150

01:
28:57,520 -- 01:29:00,250

we might as well have the fish.

1151

01:
29:01,590 -- 01:29:04,218

I- I tried to find you.

1152

01:
29:04,293 -- 01:29:06,386

I-I tried.

1153

01:
29:06,462 -- 01:29:10,398

Running away from each other

won't work anymore, will it?

1154

01:
29:28,217 -- 01:29:31,084

Uh...

1155

01:
29:31,153 -- 01:29:33,644

tomorrow,

we'll go and get your clothes.

1156

01:
29:36,892 -- 01:29:39,952

Yeah. Tomorrow, we can do that.

1157

01:
29:45,501 -- 01:29:48,026

Uh, do you want

the fish now?

1158

01:
29:48,104 -- 01:29:50,504

Or we could wait till later.

1159

01:
29:55,811 -- 01:29:57,904

We'll wait.

1160

01:
30:26,509 -- 01:30:28,602

[ Him Laughing ]

1163

01:
30:31,013 -- 01:30:33,709

Come on.

1164

[ Kisses ]

1166

01:
30:44,894 -- 01:30:49,593
