I brought this|from the property clerk.

I'm sorry. Would you like|to come in for a minute?

May I get you|something to drink?

No, thanks. Uh...

The next shift won't be here|for an hour or so...

I really ought to wait|for them out here.

Excuse me for just a minute.|Don't go, OK?

Hello? Hi, Jen.

Son of a b*tch.

Quit hovering. Come on in.

No, I'm not talking to you.|I've got company.

Can I call you back?

Bye.

How do you feel|about Indian food?

Oh, please, I don't want you|to trouble yourself.

I could use|some help cooking...

and I have enough food|for an army.

Would you like a glass of wine?

No, thank you. I'm on duty.

Your first chore|is to slice mushrooms.

I believe I can do that.

If you don't mind,|rinse them first.

Come on.

Use a colander.|That way'll take forever.

It's down on the...

Oh, sh*t.

How are you feeling, by the way?

You feeling like you're|getting back on your feet?

I guess|if I felt solid anywhere...

it should be in this house.

I've been in it in one way|or another my whole life.

It was my great-aunt's.

But I don't know.

It's just different now.|Something's off.

I used to walk|in the middle of the night...

down to the corner market|for a quart of milk.

That's true.

I mean, people just get|complacent. It happens.

Would you please hand me|the big chopping knife?

The department|gives courses on self-defense.

The department|gives courses on self-defense.

I've been thinking about|spending more time at the dojo.

Kick boxing's fine,|but that's not what I mean.

I'm talking prevention.

We teach things like, uh...|varying your routine.

Keeping your lights on at night.|Maybe getting a dog.

I'm sorry.|Does this bother you?

It's good. I need to hear it.

Just simple things, like, um...

carrying personal alarms.

Taking your garbage out|the morning of.

Not using cordless phones.

Anyone with a scanner|can listen in.

What does taking your|garbage out the morning of...

have to do with anything?

Night before,|anyone can tear through it.

Who in the world possibly|cares how much tuna I eat?

Would you rinse this|off for me, please?

Think about it.|A guy could come by, say...

Tuesday night,|3:00 in the morning...

dump your trash in one of|those 30-gallon plastic sacks.

Haul it down|to an abandoned lot and bingo!

- There it is.|- Thank you.

What a lady eats,|how often she shaves.

He can even tell|a lady's time of the month.

Anything you want to know.

What kind of lipstick|she wears...

and used condoms.

How often's she gettin' it?|Twice a week?

Three times?

The same guy, different guys?

Of course,|that doesn't apply to you.

Let's face it. In your case,|it's been quite a while.

Not since that...|that surgeon...

What? Six, seven months ago?

You were special, Kate.

Do you have any idea|how much time I gave you?

Months.

Yes, months.

I sacrificed for you...

but now I'm going|to show you sacrifice.

What are you going to do?|Are you going to cut me?

Do it!

Good girl.

Sometimes I live|in the country, baby

Sometimes I live in town

Sometimes|I take a strange notion

To jump in the river|and drown

Irene, good night

Good night, Irene,|good night

Aah!

I'll see you in my dreams

Now I'll show you.

Sing, everybody

Irene, good night

Good night, Irene,|good night

Aah!

I'll see you in my dreams

Aah!

Aah!

Unh...

Don't do it, Nick.

Alex.

Let's talk about it, OK?

You want to put|the lighter down, Nick?

Please?

She has to know.

She knows, Nick.

Then why don't you shoot me?

Ah, I don't think so.

Muzzle flare, room full of gas,|all that, you know?

Look, Nick...

I'm gonna put the gun down.

Look, see?

There now. How's that?

I want you|to think about this, Nick.

If you do this,|no one will ever understand.

Oh, don't mind-f*** me!

No, I'm not, Nick.

See, Kate?|It's all about building rapport.

You use the subject's|first name...

and your tone...|you gotta keep it soft...

and steady.

Establish eye contact...

seek his level.

You want to know|the truth, Alex?

You're the one|who really needs help.

Well, enlighten me, Nick.

Tell me what truth is.

Truth is looking|at a beautiful woman...

like our Kate here...

and saying to yourself...

"I gotta have that.

"I gotta break her down."

It's your basest animal self.

Dig deep, Alex.

You'll recognize him.

He's ugly.

I've run into him now and then.

Go ahead.

Reach for the Glock|and take me down...

before I tell you about|the 10 days I spent with Naomi.

things she'd never tell you.

My brown sugar...

face like an angel...

perfect...

every inch of her.

You never knew Naomi.

Not like I did.

Deep down...

you envy me that.

Say it.

I don't work like you.

I don't...hate.

You only wish|you had the courage.

Good night...

Sweet Kate.

Kate...

it's all right, Kate.
