Never Talk to Strangers Page #3

---

After the break, we'll learn

about what one group of schoolchildren...

Such good practice for you, darling.

What do you know about this, Wabash?

I will not tolerate harassment.

- Harassment?

- I've had dead flowers at my doorstep...

my own obituary placed in the newspaper.

So it's my client?

The last time I saw Cheski, he said,

"If you're not for me, you're against me."

He's in jail, okay?

Maximum security, for Christ's sake.

Tell me he doesn't have

any friends on the outside.

I talk to this guy every day. If he was

trying to pull a stunt like this...

How would he even know?

If he really is suffering

from Multiple Personality Disorder...

one personality has no idea

what the others are even doing.

Are you really suggesting that Max is

doing things he doesn't even know about?

- That's ridiculous.

- Ridiculous?

It's the whole basis

for you defense, isn't it?

This is supposed to be blackened shrimp.

I don't know, Sarina.

What do you think, little kitty?

Yeah, little kitty.

You should do something about the heater

in the bathroom. You got a screwdriver?

I take it! Oh, boy.

Being with you, creating a meal...

- Burning down an apartment.

- All of it.

There's no place I'd rather be.

Maybe we should just get takeout.

Why don't we just go out?

Hello?

- Oh, hi, Henry.

- Jesus.

Tony, it's stuck.

You just have to push it.

What?

I don't feel comfortable

calling you "Dad." I told you that.

I just gotta get this.

Christmas? I haven't

really thought about it.

No. I'm not changing my mind. Look,

this just isn't a really good time.

Can I... Can I call you back?

Got company. Yeah. A friend.

Why don't you just call me

closer to Christmas?

I'll talk to you soon. Bye, Henry.

- Why don't I help you out?

- What?

With the dinner. Christmas.

That's sweet of you, Tony,

but you don't want to do that.

- I'd love to meet your father.

- No, you wouldn't. He's a f***in' pig.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that.

He just...

He just suddenly wants a part of me

after all this time.

He wasn't there for years

when I was growing up.

Your boyfriend? The sh*t?

Yeah, that's Benny.

I don't know why I still have that up.

Nice car.

- Why do you think...

- What?

Why did you keep the photo?

Jesus, Tony, would you just

let it drop, please?

- Why do you have to push so hard?

- Do I?

It's like you want to know

everything about me.

- And what do I know about you?

- Nothing.

Hey, stop. Say hi to us here, huh?

How do you feel about the person...

who killed and mutilated these women?

Must be sick... very, very sick.

Somebody that can't tell the difference

between right and wrong.

- Can you tell the difference?

- Can I?

Half the world can't.

It's a western concept.

The Buddhists have a saying:

If you meet your master

on the road, kill him.

What does that mean?

It means I don't have any f***ing

masters. That's what it means.

- Good-bye, Max.

- Bye.

- Oh, hi, Doris.

- Hang on a sec. I got a parcel for ya.

- It was outside the front door.

- Did you see who left it?

No. I got home from work,

and it was just sittin' there.

Thanks.

Oh, my God!

You should consider hirin'

a private detective.

This is exactly the kind of case

where they can often do more.

- But like what?

- It's usually someone you know...

a friend, a co-worker,

maybe even a boyfriend.

And often, all it takes

is a strong warning to back 'em off.

Excuse me. Why don't you wanna help me?

Look. Take my advice

and hire a private detective.

I'm gonna give you a name. Go home,

get some rest and think it over.

I'm afraid to go home.

Do you know what that's like?

- I'm sure it's terrible.

- No, you don't.

- Yes. Detective Spatz.

- You don't have a f***ing clue!

Excuse me!

It's me.

Tony, it's really a bad time right now.

- Can I call you later?

- No. I'm coming up.

- What's going on?

- You don't know?

- Know what?

- Somebody killed my cat.

- I'm sorry. I'm so...

- Don't.

- What?

- Don't touch me.

What is it? Hey.

Where were you last night? I needed you.

I was out of town.

I went to Boston. You know that.

- No, I don't. Why?

- Yeah, I told you I was going.

- No, you didn't.

- What's goin' on?

- Who's he?

- He's Cliff.

- Oh, you're Cliff.

- Yeah, I'm "Clafe."

She said it's a bad time, pal.

Don't you listen?

- What is this clown doing here?

- He's taking care of me.

- He's being a friend.

- Yeah?

- A real close friend.

- Yeah. I am.

Let's get somethin' straight, okay?

Ever since you came

into Sarah's life, you...

- Don't do that.

- Don't do what? Don't touch you?

- Yeah. Don't touch me.

- Ever since you came into her life...

a lot of bad things have been happening.

Are you out of your mind?

- Just get out of my house.

- The guy was out of line.

- He was out of line?

- I know you're upset...

- Yes! Somebody's killed my cat!

- I'm sorry!

Don't yell at me!

You think it's me, don't you?

You think I killed your cat.

- No, I don't.

- Yes, you do.

I feel awful.

So do I.

I'm sorry.

I wish I could...

I wish you could trust me.

This guy Tony...

How long have you been dating him?

About a month, but I'm telling you

I do not think it's him.

I'm not saying it is, but we should

begin by eliminating him from the list.

- This is just so crazy.

- Well, suspicion is an ugly thing.

But then, so is what's happening to you.

Dating in the '90s.

Glad I'm out of it.

I'll need $2,000.

As a retainer.

I think I'm falling in love

with somebody...

but meanwhile I gotta check first

to make sure he's not a psychopath.

- Well, you're a natural.

- What? What did you say?

I said you're a natural.

I'm glad you're on my side...

if you still are.

I don't know what to say

about the other night.

- You don't have to say anything.

- I'm sorry.

Let's do one more.

I thought you were terrified of guns.

I got over it.

So, you are the doctor. Tell me.

How do we learn to trust?

How do we learn to trust?

That's a good question.

There was this group exercise

we used to have...

Where patients took turns

falling backwards, catching each other.

- Let's do it.

- No. I don't wanna do it.

- I'm gonna fall. You catch me!

- Tony, you're too big.

Come on. You're stronger than you think.

I'm falling?

I caught you!

I can't believe I caught you!

- Your turn.

- You trusted me!

- No.

- I'm right here.

- I don't want to.

- Yes, you do.

I'm scared.

Me too.

But that's not gonna stop me.

Do you really

have to go to Boston tomorrow?

I do, but I don't like leaving you

even for a day.

Tony, is that true?

I love you, Sarah.

I love you, Tony.

Your father on line two.

- Tell him I'm in a meeting.

- It's the third time he's called.

Just tell him I'm in a meeting.

Excuse me. Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Excuse me, sir.

- Watch it?

Dr. Taylor? Did Tony say

anything about taking a trip?

Yeah, he's going to Boston

to do some business.

He may have a drinking problem.

His MasterCard shows that he dropped
