John and Mary Page #3

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

00:
21:23,595 -- 00:21:26,462

The audience is part of the show.

189

00:
21:26,531 -- 00:21:29,022

- k& [ Man Singing, Indistinct ]

- Everybody has to get into the act.

190

00:
21:29,101 -- 00:21:31,569

- What is it like?

- Halfway through the show...

191

00:
21:31,636 -- 00:21:34,196

they turn off the lights

and you get groped by the actors.

192

00:
21:34,272 -- 00:21:36,365

- Oh.

- [ Giggles ]

193

00:
21:36,441 -- 00:21:39,376

- Don't you resent that?

- Not entirely.

194

00:
21:39,444 -- 00:21:41,605

- Pardon me?

- Not entirely.

195

00:
21:41,680 -- 00:21:45,480

Uh, hey, look, we're going.

Dean has an early class tomorrow.

196

00:
21:45,550 -- 00:21:47,984

Pity we didn't get a chance

to see more of you.

197

00:
21:48,053 -- 00:21:50,749

Dean's gonna drop me off.

What about you?

198

00:
21:50,822 -- 00:21:54,280

- Well, good night.

- It would be no trouble for Dean at all.

199

00:
21:54,359 -- 00:21:56,793

- It would be a pleasure.

- I, uh-

200

00:
21:56,862 -- 00:21:59,228

I think I might as well

stay on a while longer.

201

00:
21:59,297 -- 00:22:01,629

I see.

202

00:
22:01,700 -- 00:22:03,930

- Bye.

- Bye.

203

00:
22:04,002 -- 00:22:06,596

Oh, wow. Thank you.

204

00:
22:06,671 -- 00:22:09,504

- Good night.

- Good night.

205

00:
22:09,574 -- 00:22:11,565

Good night.

206

00:
22:12,644 -- 00:22:14,703

Ooh.

207

00:
22:21,019 -- 00:22:25,752

I- " I see.''

What did she say " I see'' for?

208

00:
22:25,824 -- 00:22:27,917

What did she see?

209

00:
22:30,495 -- 00:22:34,522

k& [ Continues ]

210

00:
22:36,535 -- 00:22:40,938

[ Him ]

When did you make up your mind? Exactly.

211

00:
22:41,006 -- 00:22:45,602

[ Her ] If you say

you'll go listen to somebody's records...

212

00:
22:45,677 -- 00:22:49,272

- deal's on.

- Some girls wouldn't agree with you.

213

00:
22:49,347 -- 00:22:52,316

Haven't had many

the first time, huh?

214

00:
22:52,384 -- 00:22:55,012

I wouldn't know about that.

215

00:
22:57,522 -- 00:23:01,788

Do you, uh, think you'd have

appreciated me more if I'd, um...

216

00:
23:01,860 -- 00:23:04,055

cost you three dinners at Caravelle?

217

00:
23:05,764 -- 00:23:08,858

[ Laughs ] No, I'm sor-

Girls are different. That's all.

218

00:
23:08,934 -- 00:23:12,631

You mean, um, the nice ones

take three weeks or so.

219

00:
23:12,704 -- 00:23:15,229

I suppose.

220

00:
23:15,307 -- 00:23:18,902

Uh, two weeks on the average.

221

00:
23:20,779 -- 00:23:23,111

And how long do they last

on the average?

222

00:
23:28,053 -- 00:23:30,749

- Have some more coffee?

- No, thank you.

223

00:
23:35,794 -- 00:23:39,389

I don't collect them, if that's

what you're thinking, like stamps.

224

00:
23:39,464 -- 00:23:44,163

- Oh, really?

- I suppose you've had dozens.

225

00:
23:44,236 -- 00:23:47,000

Dozens of what?

226

00:
23:47,072 -- 00:23:49,472

Dozens of men.

227

00:
23:50,842 -- 00:23:53,436

Why did you say that?

228

00:
23:53,511 -- 00:23:57,675

- It's just something a person likes to know.

- Do they?

229

00:
23:57,749 -- 00:24:02,243

[ Laughs ] No, all I mean is that a girl-

a woman- could've had...

230

00:
24:02,320 -- 00:24:05,346

dozens of men

and, well, still be okay.

231

00:
24:05,423 -- 00:24:10,725

- That's very nice of you.

- [ Laughs ] Very few, uh...

232

00:
24:10,795 -- 00:24:13,195

and- and still be a-

233

00:
24:13,265 -- 00:24:16,462

- A whore?

- No, I wouldn't say that.

234

00:
24:22,207 -- 00:24:24,698

I was just trying

to get to know you.

235

00:
24:26,544 -- 00:24:29,138

Well, you haven't made

a bad start.

236

00:
24:29,214 -- 00:24:33,048

No, I mean,

to know more about you.

237

00:
24:33,118 -- 00:24:37,384

- I mean, why did you?

- Why did you?

238

00:
24:37,455 -- 00:24:40,219

- That's different.

- Is it?

239

00:
24:40,292 -- 00:24:43,159

- Yes.

- I just, uh, thought it might be fun.

240

00:
24:43,228 -- 00:24:46,493

- I thought I might enjoy it.

- Did you?

241

00:
24:48,833 -- 00:24:52,997

I, uh, didn't see much

to worry about, no.

242

00:
24:53,071 -- 00:24:57,633

- You mean, I've got you worried?

- Yes, you have.

243

00:
24:57,709 -- 00:25:00,269

All that talk about

"natural-born eggs''-

244

00:
25:00,345 -- 00:25:03,508

Taste just the same as

any old artificial eggs anywhere.

245

00:
25:03,581 -- 00:25:07,244

And wanting to be told

I'd jump into bed with anybody...

246

00:
25:07,319 -- 00:25:10,311

just so's you wouldn't feel guilty

when your wife gets home on Monday.

247

00:
25:10,388 -- 00:25:14,119

- What are you talking about?

- I suppose you think I go

to that bar every Friday night...

248

00:
25:14,192 -- 00:25:16,353

huh,just to get laid?

249

00:
25:16,428 -- 00:25:19,829

Well, I want you to know that I've

never been in there in my life before.

250

00:
25:19,898 -- 00:25:23,834

It's just thatJane's boyfriend said,

"Let's go somewhere slightly different.''

251

00:
25:23,902 -- 00:25:26,530

That's all.

Sorry to disappoint you.

252

00:
25:26,604 -- 00:25:29,266

- I'm not really disappointed.

- There's something else you oughta get straight.

253

00:
25:29,341 -- 00:25:34,608

- What's that?

-Just for the record. I do say no occasionally.

254

00:
26:10,066 -- 00:26:12,057

[ Utensils Clatter ]

255

00:
26:14,470 -- 00:26:18,668

[ Sighs ]

Hey! Could you-

256

00:
26:22,979 -- 00:26:25,413

Hilary? Hi, it's me.

257

00:
26:25,481 -- 00:26:28,575

- You okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine, I guess.

258

00:
26:28,651 -- 00:26:32,246

- Where are you?

- Where am I? I don't know.

259

00:
26:32,322 -- 00:26:35,223

Listen, I'm coming home now.

I'll pick up the groceries-

260

00:
26:35,291 -- 00:26:37,725

eggs so stuffed full

of chemical hormones...

261

00:
26:37,794 -- 00:26:39,955

- there's a good chance we'll all change sex.

- What?

262

00:
26:40,029 -- 00:26:42,691

Never mind. See you later.

263

00:
26:42,765 -- 00:26:45,461

Bye.

264

00:
26:49,539 -- 00:26:53,031

Bonjour, darling.!

Up, up, up.

265

00:
26:53,109 -- 00:26:55,100

Up with the cornflakes.

266

00:
26:55,178 -- 00:26:57,806

Hold it.

Cmo est, pap?

267

00:
26:57,880 -- 00:27:01,281

- Papi, ya!

- Oh, for God's sake.

268

00:
27:01,351 -- 00:27:06,050

Ah! Bachelor girl home from a good night out

with all her goodies.

269

00:
27:06,122 -- 00:27:08,454

That's a great image,

I tell ya.

270

00:
27:08,524 -- 00:27:10,719

Une grande image.

271

00:
27:10,793 -- 00:27:13,057

- Mind your own business.

- Now, this house is my business.

272

00:
27:13,129 -- 00:27:16,462

I'm makin' a study of it in depth.

273

00:
27:16,532 -- 00:27:20,229

Are you totally ignorant

of cinma vrit?

274

00:
27:20,303 -- 00:27:24,967

Cinma vrit is just an excuse

to follow little girls into the ladies room.

275

00:
27:25,041 -- 00:27:27,942

- Can you do something with Andy?

- Tracey, good morning.

276

00:
27:28,011 -- 00:27:30,479

Cry, baby. That's a great image.

Une grande image.

277

00:
27:30,546 -- 00:27:32,639

Beautiful! Beautiful!
