New York, I Love You Page #5

eat hot dogs.

[Man]

You want sushi?

Seaweed's gross.

Then it's our secret, okay?

All right.

[children laugh and yell]

Bracelet fell in.

Excuse me.

Yeah?

We couldn't help but notice

how good you are with her.

Oh, thanks. Thank you.

It's so unusual

to meet a manny.

And a good manny,

at that.

What?

You know, a male nanny.

Well, thank you. Thanks.

Excuse me.

Teya.

Tey. Come, baby.

Let's go now.

Time to go. Come.

[Teya] The sun's a boy,

and the moon's a girl.

[Man]

Exactly, Tey.

El sol, la luna.

La luna.

Yeah, that's right.

I like when they're

both out. Yeah?

They make all these

pretty colors,

and it's kind of like purple,

hot pink and regular pink,

and they sort of, like,

play tag with each other

while they still can.

Hey, sweetness.

Hey, Mommy.

Hi.

Nice outfit.

Did you pick that out

yourself?

Yep. And the bracelet matches.

It does.

Ed's over there. He's

got a snack for you.

No, thanks.

You're going to get hungry.

Nuh-uh. I had a hot dog.

You need to be firm

with her, okay?

She needs the discipline.

She needs you.

She misses you.

Um...

pick her up

again tomorrow?

Okay.

Okay.

Come on, monkey.

[chattering]

[applause]

[Teya]

Daddy, Daddy!

Excuse me. All this

for dry cleaning?

Yeah. Is tomorrow okay?

Why not?

After 5:
00.

You have been shopping.

Very expensive stuff.

I don't like to run out.

[speaking Cantonese]

Your Cantonese

is improving.

I have been studying.

Have a nice night.

[speaking Cantonese]

$25.

[traditional Chinese]

[coughs]

Hey, how are you today?

Good.

I want to paint you.

You know, portrait.

Um, would you like--

Come with me?

Why me?

I don't know.

I really don't know.

I can't.

Please.

Okay. I'm sorry.

I'm going to give you

my address.

If you change your mind...

I'm waiting for you.

[speaking Chinese]

[TV drones]

[Man] Hey. You

looking for something?

I looking for the painter.

What?

The painter.

The painter is dead.

You want apartment?

[shutter snaps]

[traditional Chinese]

[grunts]

Can I help you?

Oh, thank you.

You're welcome.

Well, I guess

this is useless.

Aren't you the one who's always

filming in the coffee shop?

I thought I was being

more discreet.

I guess my secret's out now.

If you ask for permission,

you never get it, so...

So you like to break

the rules, then?

A lot of people

give me trouble.

Well, I will be

the exception for today.

Oh. City's full

of surprises, right?

Yeah.

[car approaches]

[car door closes]

[cell phone rings]

[cell phone rings]

[beeps]

[Man]

Hey, it's me. Can we talk?

Yeah, Peter. How are you?

Yeah, yeah, of course.

I will get it to you

in the morning.

No, they're very

important clients.

No. Losing a client

is not an option.

Sh*t.

Yeah.

And?

Thank you.

No, I don't care. Tell him

to postpone the opening.

Yeah, yeah, of course.

And if their lawyer

tries to contact you...

[muffled chatter]

[Woman chatters]

Yeah. Oh.

[dogs bark]

[Woman]

What do you see?

[Man] No, don't mention

the second offer.

Not yet.

No. Okay, Peter.

You, too. Thanks.

You know, this is what I have

always liked about New York--

These little moments

on the sidewalk, smoking,

thinking about your life.

Makes you appreciate

the city better.

You can watch the buildings. You can

feel the air and look at the people.

Sometimes meet somebody

you feel like you can talk to.

You can talk about what?

Things you can say

to a stranger.

[chuckles]

You know, when there's

no past, there's no guilt.

Have you ever made love

to a perfect stranger?

[chuckles]

Now you're teasing me.

I believe I am.

Well, I mean...

No, not exactly

a perfect stranger,

if you mean someone

I wouldn't know at all.

[laughs]

It's sad.

It's sad? Why?

Because there's almost

nothing more exciting

than f***ing somebody

you don't know.

[laughs]

Right?

You don't know

their name,

barely saw

their face.

Don't.

Don't tell me your name.

You know what? As soon as

I finish this cigarette,

I have to walk back

into that restaurant

and sit down again

in front of my husband.

And?

And he won't look at me.

And he won't notice I'm not

wearing a bra under my dress.

No bra?

No panties, either.

Oh.

No underwear?

Not today.

I feel sad for this

poor, lonely husband

who can't see his wife's

hidden talents.

Don't you think he's like

every man, though?

He's typically blind and

bored by his very own wife,

ready to fantasize about

the first unknown woman

he hasn't f***ed yet.

Am I bothering you?

Not at all.

Yeah. And you say that because

now I have turned you on, right?

You want

to take me to bed.

Do you want

to take me to bed?

Yeah, I probably do.

Aw, come on. All right, why

are you telling me all of this?

Because tonight I

want things to change.

Chain smoking's

a bad thing.

Who knows?

Maybe we will meet again.

Thank you.

Enjoy your meal.

[sighs]

I love you.

I love you, too.

Okay?

A heart that's full up

Like a landfill

A job that

slowly kills you

Bruises that won't heal

[no audible dialogue]

What the hell

happened to you?

I was doing downward dog,

and then I went

into chakrasana,

and that's when it happened.

What's a downward dog?

Yoga.

Oh, yeah. You know,

I remember you used to be

really loose and limber.

Mr. Riccoli, can you just

fill the prescriptions now?

I didn't mean loose like--

I know what you're saying.

I just have somewhere to be.

Right.

Um...

What the hell--

Who you with?

Birth control? What

the hell are you doing?

Oh, come on.

No, listen,

I'm just saying that,

you know, I think, Lydia,

personally it's time

for you to have babies.

What are you, kidding me?

What's wrong with you?

I'm out of here.

What'd I say?

What did I--

You used to be nice.

What happened to you?

Whoa.

Hey, Lydia, come on.

Talk to me. What'd I say?

Hey, I'm sorry.

What the hell did I say?

Babies.

[Man]

You're picking on me again.

[Woman] I just don't understand

why I'm always the one

who has to initiate

everything.

Not true.

We don't go anywhere.

You don't take me

anywhere.

I took you to

the park last week.

Come on. I'm talking about

outside of the city.

Name one place

in the past two years

outside the city that

you have taken me to.

Beach in the Hamptons.

That's where we met,

and you hated the Hamptons.

I'm talking about

a road trip,

or a canoe trip, even.

A bike trip.

Will you stop

with the phone?

Just name one.

Exactly.

What?

If you could go

anywhere in the world,

where would you go?

You know where.

Come with me.

What are you doing?

I just bought tickets.

We're leaving now.

We are?

Are you out of your mind?

I don't have anything

with me right now.

Well, I will buy you

a toothbrush.

In Rome.

Coach is fine.

Lift your feet.

You don't lift

your feet.

I'm lifting my feet.

No, you're shuffling.

The doctor said you

should lift your feet.

I'm lifting, I'm lifting.

You want you should fall down,

break your other hip?
