when we were

uploading the photos,

against my strongest protest

and against every warning

I could've possibly given you...

I paid you an extra 20 bucks!

Eugene:
Yes, I know.

I admit that.

And I'm an idiot, too.

But, what's done is done.

Even if I delete the

photos from this site,

they still exist elsewhere,

either on a search

or from a user

who downloaded the photos

and uploaded them

somewhere else.

That's how the Internet works.

The photos are available

to any horny freak

who wants them.

I think I remember

you saying that before,

but my mind wasn't right.

You know I wasn't listening.

Okay, I deleted them from

the original site, okay?

That's all I'm askin'.

Maybe Lester will cool

down after that.

I hope so.

She's the love of my life.

I can't believe I put naked

pictures on the Internet

of the love of my life.

- Scott:
We brought beer.

- Melanie:
Thank you!

Scott:
Hey, Wendy. What's up?

- Nothing.

- Scott:
Cool.

Oh, have you, uh, met river?

They've met like

a million times.

For a perfect example,

at your birthday party.

Fine, sue me.

I just didn't

specifically recall

the two of them hanging out.

Oh, my god, are you

gonna drink all of that?

Ah! Yes, I am.

Wendy, do you want a beer?

Um, I was thinking of leaving.

No, you can't leave.

We need you.

Yeah, you can't leave.

We just arrived.

- We need you.

- Wendy:
For what?

- To keep the, uh, fire?

- Fire?

To keep the spirit...

The spirit going.

I don't know,

I just chugged a whole beer.

Hey, come on. We're...

Having a little party.

Uh, there are only four of us.

Yeah, and if you leave,

there'll only be three.

This is starting

to sound suspiciously like

some kind of purposeful plan.

It's totally not.

Of course not.

No. Why would we

do that to you?

River:
I didn't know

there was a plan.

I didn't even know

you guys were coming

'til you rang the buzzer,

because she knew that

I'd be gone in a minute

if I had that information

because I'm like

this big, antisocial

creature sometimes,

and today is one of those times.

But...

You must've known

that I was gonna be here.

- Yeah.

- And you must've known

that they would go

make out, eventually.

I mean, that's what they do.

I find it really hard

to believe there wasn't

some idea in your head

that we would be left alone.

River:
I honestly didn't think

it through that far.

Anyway, what kind of plan

would it have been?

Aren't you a lesbian?

Wendy:
Who said that?

I don't remember who.

I mean, Melanie thinks

I'm a lesbian.

She thinks that because

I've only ever been with girls.

Two girls.

She also thinks

I'm a virgin, which I'm not.

I've had sex,

with two girls.

But I don't think

I'm totally a lesbian.

I mean, I'm attracted

to boys, but...

I don't know what it's

like to be with one,

so I don't know

if I'd actually enjoy it.

Um, being with a boy.

How long have you

lived in New York?

Three years.

Cool.

- Uh, you?

- Eight.

Where did you come from?

Seattle. Washington.

You?

Cincinnati.

Ohio.

There she is.

Claire:
I'm nervous.

Phil:

"Fear is the rape of the mind."

Okay, thanks.

Uh, excuse me!

Mrs. Krimsky:
Oh!

You dropped your grapefruit.

Thank you.

Mrs. Krimsky:
No, you called out

before I dropped the grapefruit.

You said "excuse me!"

You said it loudly

and in my direction.

Because you

dropped a grapefruit.

No.

You called out, I turned around,

I dropped it, in that order.

Claire:
No, I called out

because of the grapefruit.

Then why would I turn around?

Why would I call out?

I think my mind must be

playing tricks on me.

I apologize for insisting

that I was right.

Aggressively

insisting upon things

is an overall problem I have

in my general personality.

It didn't seem to me like you

were aggressively insisting.

Well, that's kind of you,

but I know how screwed up I am.

Judging myself harshly

and analyzing

my actions

are my other problems,

so I better shut up.

Though, I also have

trouble shutting up.

I'm not crying.

My eyes are always moist.

I'm too emotionally

detached from life to cry.

Bye.

Excuse me, I'm from the post.

Can I ask you a few questions?

Is it true you were at a movie

when your husband died?

And you left

the theater at 8:30?

Come on, you'll tell her,

but not me?

New York news!

She's from the New York news!

Him, too! He's from

the New York news!

It's unethical not to tell her.

No, I was gonna tell her

before I asked any questions.

Tell us about

your husband's watch!

You see that?

How she acted when you

said that about the watch?

Come on, tell me

about the watch!

So, it's obviously

the husband's watch.

Claire:
Yeah.

Buster:
Do you

comprehend the idea that you

could potentially be

part of solving a murder?

They said it could be a suicide.

Man 3:
Sounds like they're

after the wife.

Exactly.

You said she came in

to get that watch fixed,

then two detectives and

a reporter came in afterwards.

They think she did it.

Maybe he was wearing it

when he was killed.

I didn't want to say it,

but I think

that's what we're

all thinkin', isn't it?

I'm not thinking anything.

He died on Sunday.

She came in on Tuesday

to get the watch fixed.

Now, why did she do that?

Why would somebody want

to fix a dead man's watch?

She might want him

to be wearing it

when he's buried.

Sure, could be.

Or... she didn't want anybody

to know what time it was

when she murdered him.

Jimmy:
She didn't look

like a murderer to me.

She's a nice, decent woman.

- Benny:
Hey, there he is.

- Hey, man.

Noah. What's up?

Noah:

I'm going to this guy's place.

- He has "bird blows the blues."

- Benny:
Say that again.

Evidently,

he has "bird blows the blues."

This guy here, Paul?

Did you buy something from him?

"Bird blows the blues."

- Hi, I'm Noah.

- Yeah, of course.

Benny:
Noah and I

ran into each other outside.

We know each other. We see

each other at record shops.

We both collect records.

But there's some confusion.

Benny said you sold "bird

blows the blues" to him.

- Yeah, I did.

- Then why am I here?

I know. I wasn't thinking.

Did you think

I wasn't gonna buy it?

Goddamn it!

Son of a b*tch! Open up!

You see this? He's a thief.

- Let us in!

- What's going on?

You got a thief

in your building.

He shut the door on us

and won't let us in.

I got keys for that place,

but it's for emergencies.

If you call saving his door

an emergency, let's see it.

Hey, he doesn't even

live here, that guy.

- Say that again.

- He's been here

for about a week, subletting

from a young woman.

I think he went

out the back door.

I don't see him.

This guy's the biggest

liar I've ever met.

He told me how much

he liked this rug.

See that statue? This ballerina?

I knew there was something

wrong when I saw this.

This guy, he gave me a very good

doughnut so I'd like him.

He told me how much

he loved my shirt,

so I'd believe his lies.
