And that's why

I wanted to talk to you.

No other reason.

When I see beauty, I gotta go after it.

You're not a model, right?

No, you're much too beautiful

to be a model.

Much too beautiful to be a model.

Listen, what do you say?

My studio is right around the corner.

Nobody is gonna be there, it's Friday.

We'll take a test.

We'll smoke a little pot.

Big pot.

A little wine, and we'll try

and go for a roll of shots.

No big deal.

You got nothing to lose.

I knew you were a smart kid

the minute I saw you.

It's no sense being shy

with a face like that. Trust me.

I'm going to make it work for you.

Show you how to make the big bucks.

Okay. Here. It's my place here.

Come on.

Wait til you see this place.

You're not going to believe it, it's beautiful.

Right in here.

And there.

Okay, just hold on a second.

Okay! This is the place.

Come on, you are gonna love it.

Wait til you see.

Didn't I tell you to trust me.

I mean, isn't this a beautiful place?

Oh Mrs. Soney, I'm sorry.

It won't happen again.

But like I had it in my pocket

and I changed my pants.

Oh Mickey, you're hopeless.

You're always losing your keys!

It's not my fault.

The same story.

What's all that makeup?

Good Heavens!

I've never seen you look like that.

Your eyes.

And your lips are so heavily made up.

''Staying overnight with a friend.''

What friend?

I'm tired of you playing

your little game. You understand?

Now I want the rest of my money.

Well, I don't have any money.

I gave you $50, didn't I?

You sure you ain't got 50 more?

How much do you think he gonna give me.

You sure you ain't got 50 more?

5 minutes we were in there.

He much do you think he gonna give me?

And besides baby.

You know I wouldn't hold out on you.

Listen baby, that last trick

you had was a setup.

Now I gave him 100 dollars.

You gonna give me 50.

I don't care how much you gave

him, but he gave me 50 dollars.

You calling my friend a liar?

Yeah!

What? You call my friend a liar?

I swear he gave me 50 dollars!

Stop hitting me no more!

My money!

Hunter.

Pick her up.

Perhaps I can give you a lift somewhere.

Are you going anywhere particular?

Then perhaps you like

to come with me tonight.

Here, with the news.

Police are still mystified

by two apparently unconnected multiple murders

that took place in midtown Manhattan last night

and the largest mass killing in

New York City in 8 years.

At the fountain in Central Park

all the victims have been shot

with a .45 caliber pistol.

Meanwhile, at 48th Street

and Park Avenue,

a wealthy Saudi

Arabian businessman

Sheikh Mohammed Al Fazal

was shot to death almost

Oh, it's Thana! Come on in.

Oh, you brought something for Phil?

Here, Phil.

Look what Thana brought you.

Since the Sheikh was found

carrying more than $2800

in cash.

Police are continuing

both investigations.

Talks will resume this morning

between the sanitation workers of the city

hoping to head off a strike

now scheduled to begin at 12:01 AM

There she goes again, Phil.

Hey, you going out or what?

But, just not coming back

to work from lunch on Friday.

I mean, how could you do that?

It's just not fair to the other girls.

On top of having to finish

your work for you,

before they could go home,

they were worried sick.

You could of at least

gotten word back to us somehow

had Mrs. Nasony called.

Thana, darling...

You promised the other day.

Remember?

You would try.

And look what happened.

And now I hear from the other girls

that you're not coming with us

to the Halloween party.

Well from this, all I can

Now, this is good news.

Do you know where it is?

Are you planning on going with someone?

Would you like to go with me?

I don't believe it.

Have you've ever seen her before?

Yes, I've seen her in there.

Look, that's her office.

And that, I guess, that's her boss.

That's her boss? Oh god!

I don't believe it.

If I ever run into him,

I wouldn't know what to say!

Albert, you gotta come and look at this!

I'll make a bet of 20...

Here, the second window.

Can you believe it?

Albert, why don't you try...

You know, I see this guy downstairs.

What are you gonna say to him

next time you see him.

Go get some curtains.

She's riding him like a whale over there.

I don't believe it.

The lamps are shaking.

They should get a stroller.

Don't know why they

wanna persecute me

because I don't talk to women?

All women do is laugh and sing

and say the word ''p*ssy''.

You ask any doctor

and he'll tell you that.

I don't know what's wrong with these people.

Well, I'll get these things going after a while.

I just will.

I gotta get back to work now.

You know, really.

I don't think it's possible

to find a

a woman as good as she was.

We made love in the bedroom.

It'd start out in the bedroom,

but we end up in the living room.

And when it started out in the living room,

we'd end up in the bathroom.

We made love all over the house.

You never could tell what

was gonna happen and it was fantastic.

We got along great and

all of a sudden, she starts getting antsy.

She's got too much time on her hands

and she was freaking out.

She wants to do something. She wants

to get a job and I said: "Hey, wait a minute.

A wife of mine isn't working. Okay?"

She fought back

so finally I gave in and I said:

"Alright, get yourself a part-time job,

get yourself a full time job.

Get a job and do something.''

And she did that and

everything was back to normal.

Well, sort of.

The meals weren't as good.

The sex wasn't as good.

But it was better than

when she was freaking out.

You know, I'm a salesman.

A shoe salesman.

You know, I do a lot of work upstate.

You know, upstate.

Massachusetts.

General wind in that area. You don't

want to go to town 2 to 3 days at a time.

Once every 2 weeks, 3 weeks.

And I started calling her,

like 3 o'clock in the morning.

She's not home.

9 o'clock at night, she's not home.

9 o'clock in the morning, she's not home.

I wondered what the hell is going on here.

A lot of things are crossing my mind,

but I'm blank and I'm not

and I'm trying to say

well, she may be over at

her mother's house, over at sister's place,

out at a movie, or going to

the bazzan, or something like that.

Anyway, when I start thinking

about this cheating stuff,

I can't get it out of my mind, man.

And all of a sudden, I'm trying

to imagine these guys she's cheating with.

Who's she cheating me with? A lawyer?

A banker? You know, a cop?

I was fed up.

I had to find out.

So I told her I was working

late one night, real late.

And I hid across the street in an

alley behind some garbage cans.

She walked down the street

a couple of blocks

and went into a building,

you know brown stone.

I went up and I checked out the buzzers

and there were 4 names up there

and I didn't recognize none of them.

So I tried the door and it was locked.

Tried to force it,

but it wouldn't give.

I tried the side door,
