Memoirs of an Invisible Man Page #6

It really works.

Oh, Nick, you have a face again.

If I had eyes and teeth,

I'd be a whole head.

It's nice to see you.

It's nice to be seen again.

Do you have any body makeup?

Dropped about 10 pounds.

Bet I'd look great naked.

Good evening. Two for dinner?

Yes, please.

What's the matter?

Is something wrong?

Of course not, sir. Right this way.

See? Nobody's staring at you.

Whatever they think, they certainly

don't think you're invisible.

No.

They're just seeing a beautiful blond

and a dead man.

To Elvis.

Oh, God.

Maybe we do have

a little more work to do.

You can go to any ball game

or movie for free.

You can look up girls' skirts,

hang around ladies' locker rooms.

- Go naked anytime you want.

- Almost have to now.

Never worry about people saying

you look older or you should lose weight.

You could have a brilliant career

as a bank robber.

Jesus, I'm screwed.

Nick...

...l've been thinking.

I'm not sure me playing

the stock market...

...so you can live like a recluse

is the best solution to your problem.

You got a better idea, Alice,

believe me, I'm interested.

We could go to Washington. I know

some people who might be able to help.

You expect me to trust a politician?

No, you're right.

But I want you to trust me.

You're not alone anymore.

Come on!

It's them. My clothes

are on the corner of the couch.

- Where are we going?

- Far away. Fast.

May I have your attention, please?

Announcing the departure

of train number seven...

- Nick?

- I'm here.

I got us a compartment

on the 7:
30 train to San Diego.

From there, we can figure out

how to get across the border to Mexico.

That gives us about eight hours to kill.

Look, they're gonna catch me, Alice.

Just get on the train. Go.

Get away from me.

These guys are nuts.

I'd never forgive myself

if something happened to you.

I'm not scared. Whoever these guys are,

they can't control everything.

God, I can't believe I got you into this.

Forgive me.

This is something I have to do

on my own.

Alice...

...you're staring at my eyes.

I think we should get out of the rain.

What's happening to me?

Don't.

It's beautiful.

Boy, how am I gonna tell my mom

about this?

All the dirty parts I'd leave out.

Just tell her you met a guy,

like him a lot...

...could be serious. He's transparent.

- Are you a Catholic?

- No.

That could be a problem.

You know something, Alice?

If you were blind,

we'd make the perfect couple.

May I have your attention, please?

Now ready for departure,

train number 12, Pacific Coast...

- now leaving on track number five.

I'm in.

That was easy enough.

This isn't so bad.

I'm having second thoughts about Mexico.

It's just not far enough away.

With a fax and a computer,

I can trade from anywhere in the world.

You mean anywhere?

Like Paris, Rome...

...Bora Bora?

Anywhere you want.

Although I was thinking of Switzerland.

A guy can get away with wearing

a ski mask all year round.

Where's the next stop?

Nick?

- You asleep?

- No.

I was just daydreaming

about a New York strip steak...

...baked potato with sour cream and chives

and a hot fudge sundae.

That sounds great.

I'll go get it.

Bring back a bowl of Jell-O for you.

Thanks.

Hello, Alice.

Compartment C.

Run!

Nick!

Run!

Run!

- Run!

- Halloway!

Alice!

Move! Move!

Get out of the way!

No!

The current must have swept me along

for half a mile.

When I came to, I was being washed

toward a drainage pipe...

... and throwing up a gallon

of river water.

For all you knew, I'd drowned.

Your invisible man was dead.

But I knew you had Alice.

I was wrong to involve her in

the first place, just like I was wrong...

... thinking I could run away from this.

I am what I am, Jenkins.

I know that now.

Other people will too, unless you let her go.

You let her go, I'll come in. That's the deal.

I'll say this.

Your friend Halloway

has a flair for the dramatic.

I want you to be part of our team, Alice.

He needs you. We need you.

Regardless of how it may seem, I've never

had anything but his best interest at heart.

Where do they find people like you?

It's him. He's on the phone.

Nick.

I've got copies of that tape

in very safe hands right now.

Anything happens to Alice,

they go to the networks, the papers.

Use your imagination.

Alice is here. She's absolutely fine.

What do you want me to do?

I want to see her walk out of the building

and get in a cab.

And what about you?

Look out your window at the phone booth

on the corner.

Yeah, I see you.

As soon as I see her out of your building

and in a cab, I give myself up.

Try anything funny,

I do a striptease in the street...

... I'll guarantee will make the news.

Two minutes, Jenkins, starting now.

Let's go.

- I presume you've seen this.

- He's outside. We're five seconds away.

- You murdered Wachs?

- He's holding me against my will.

We've won, Warren. He's ours.

We can own the agency.

You've lost it.

You don't know what you're doing.

- I'm pulling the plug. Let her go!

- As soon as we make the switch.

Just like we agreed, Nick.

- Get the cab, Tyler.

- Yes, sir.

Nick, I love you!

Take her across the bridge

or something. Go!

We had a deal, Nick.

You shouldn't have tried to run.

Hey, not so rough.

Jesus.

Where's Nick?

Wait a minute.

Where are we going?

The Bay Bridge.

And I love you too.

Nick?

Nick. Oh, my God!

Oh, look out.

That was George in the phone booth.

I called Jenkins with this.

- You told George you were invisible?

- Of course not.

Told him you we're in trouble.

Asked him for a big favor.

God, I'm glad you're all right.

I got him.

- Are you all right?

- Yes.

Nick, run! Run!

Help!

Help!

I've got him crossing Seventh Street

back toward Market.

- Market Street.

- It's over!

You hear me? I'm shutting you down!

I'm shutting you down!

- He's heading south.

- Left on Fifth.

Look. What about what Singleton said?

He signs the checks.

Screw him. He's weak.

They're all weak.

Think what Halloway will fetch.

The Germans, the Japanese, the Saudis.

You'll be a rich man, Morrissey.

Oh, my God! Look at that!

What was that?

You're a natural, you know.

Cool, imaginative, elegant.

You've found your calling, Nick.

I think we can work this thing out

together, you and I. Forgive and forget.

Start again fresh, with a deeper sense

of respect for each other.

Nick, I'll kill you if I have to!

Now listen.

I'll commit every resource we have

to getting you back...

...to making you whole again...

...to reuniting you with Alice.

I swear.

You swore you would kill me

a second ago.

I think you're losing your marbles, Dave.

Get it straight.

Bit of a tight spot, Nick.

Now, understand...

...if I can't have you...

...no one can.

I'm tired of the game, Dave.

One step back, and it's all over.

Now wait.

I apologize for being rash.

It was stupid of me.

You are the most unique human being

on the planet.

You are walking history.
