Sea of Love Page #5

---

you had this real beautiful boot.

It was Vivoli, Vavoli, Ravioli,

or something like that.

Vivoli. We're out of stock.

You can try back

in about two weeks, if you like.

Look, can I help you with something,

or what?

Come on, man, what's your problem?

Tommy, let's blow. The guy's a cop.

Let's blow.

So, if I beat the sh*t out of you...

I'd get nailed

for assaulting an officer, right?

You piece of sh*t.

Okay, what?

You're a cop?

Yeah.

So what?

Pretty bad, huh?

It's just too much for you.

I mean,

you let scum like that in here...

but my being a cop,

that's just too much, isn't it?

Let me tell you

something about this.

All these people in here,

with their rocks and their furs...

they get robbed, they get raped,

I'm all of a sudden their daddy.

Come the wet-ass hour,

I'm everybody's daddy!

What do you think you're doing?

What do you mean?

Don't try to turn this around on me.

You lied to me.

You looked like

I had the plague over there.

Why did you tell me you were

a printer? You're a cop.

- I always wanted to be a printer.

- Come on. Talk to me.

For 20 years,

I go out with people, right?

I tell them I'm a cop.

You know what happens?

I'm a nonperson.

What do you think

I put the ad in the paper for?

Look, you ever keep something

inside yourself?

But you know you'll let it out.

I just want to get on

solid ground with you.

I wanted us to know each other

a little bit, before I told you.

That's all.

I wanted to bring it along slowly.

So you're a cop?

I'm Frank.

I'm just Frank.

Don't lie to me again.

I don't like it.

Look at these. They're so soft.

They feel like feet.

They're very subtle.

Wild, right?

This girl, you know...

My girl gave them to me.

Gotta wear them, right?

What are you gonna do?

Pretty jazzy.

You know, look at these things.

She works in a shoe store.

No offence,

but you never did get her prints.

She's not the shooter.

And this we know how?

I asked her.

- Golden Cadillac?

- Screaming Golden Cadillac.

What makes it scream?

Getting attacked by a White Russian.

That's very clever.

Make that two.

- Want yours screaming, too?

- You have very tight skin.

You know that?

That's 'cause I'm fat. It pushes

it out like balloon rubber.

Excuse me,

did you not get that order or what?

See you.

I bet I've seen eight women tonight.

I bet every one

made more money than me.

That blonde,

she was a school principal.

I mean, how come none of these women

are married?

I don't know.

How come I'm not married?

Gentlemen, anyone here up for

the Island of Lost Souls?

- No, not me tonight, kids.

- What's the matter, Frank?

I don't know. I'm tired.

You're tired?

I'm going to walk home.

Tired?

Talk to you tomorrow, kids.

All right, Frank.

Hey, how you doing?

Did I wake you?

Listen...

is your daughter asleep?

You think you can get somebody

to watch her for a while?

Good.

What have you got on?

No, take them off.

I was just... Sea of Love.

What?

You have Sea of Love.

I don't know.

I haven't looked

in those boxes in years.

Why? Do you like that record?

Yeah, I like it.

I'm saving them for my daughter.

Probably worth a fortune by now.

I bet they'd fall apart

if I put them on the turntable.

You never play them?

I don't even know

what's in there anymore.

You want something to drink?

Yeah.

A lot of people keep records, huh?

I should have kept mine.

I had thousands of them.

They'd be worth something now.

You better go home

before it gets light out.

Okay.

I want you to see something.

Beautiful.

How would you know?

You didn't even look at her.

What do you mean?

I didn't want to wake her.

I wonder what kind of father

you would make.

Me?

I don't know, you know...

Who the hell wants a policeman

for a father?

She's got a father, doesn't she?

I mean, she does have a father.

You know what I mean?

Go home.

He's not dead.

You're divorced, right?

Yeah.

You mad at me?

No.

Okay.

Okay.

Is your mother back yet?

Can you stay with me tonight?

Good. I've got something

very important to talk to you about.

Okay? I'm gonna take you somewhere,

so I want you to dress nice.

Waiter!

I'm being paged now.

Can I call you back?

All right. Okay. Take care.

Come with me, my love

How are you doing, folks?

A little something from the bar?

I know you. You're that cop.

- Hold it. You're a police officer?

- Did you get fired?

- This is Gina.

- What do you want with me?

Just sit down. It's okay.

This is Gina Gallagher.

Hi, Gina.

This is Detective Sherman Touhey.

She's good people.

Hi.

I'm gone.

I feel like Betty f***ing Crocker

in this.

Jesus, it's only 8:00,

and I'm hammered.

I'm gonna stay around here tonight.

If I drive, I'll die like a dog.

It would make a nice headline.

I'll call the wife,

tell her I'll crash around here.

Get a hotel.

Go to the squad room.

There's this nice cosy

army cot there, man.

Go ahead.

I got extra keys for my old man.

I'm two blocks away.

We'll sleep together?

Why not?

I'm going to see this Helen later.

I got this hotel suite.

An ex-partner of mine

is head of security...

so he owes me one.

It'll be a nice surprise.

You see this guy

This guy's in love with you

I'm gonna ask her

to move in with me.

What, are you nuts?

You just met her.

I feel like a f***ing teenager.

The guy says to me, "Frank, retire."

I say, "To what?"

There's nothing out there

after this.

Could you get the waiter, please?

Is there a waiter in this place?

That's what I'd like to know.

So, what's this important thing

you wanted to ask me?

What?

Maybe you should

slow it down a little, huh, Frank?

Maybe a menu should come here

sometime this century.

What's the big question

you wanted to ask?

I don't know.

I feel like I got

the London Philharmonic up my ass.

Let's go. Come on.

- We just got here.

- I know. Let's get out of here.

Bad choice.

Not my favourite place.

I love this neighbourhood.

I figure the worst that

could happen to me here...

is I'd trip over

an old Perrier bottle.

Could get worse, you know.

Nicey-nice, this neighbourhood, huh?

Hold it.

Last year alone, we had

three murders right in this block.

See that garage over there?

One in there.

The building across the street,

second floor. One in there.

Two months later, third floor.

One in there.

This town is like one big

city of the dead for you, huh?

City of the dead?

What do you say that for?

I love life.

I'm just trying to share with you.

If you live with a cop...

I mean, there are certain things...

you know, a cop's eyes,

what we see...

There's you, what you see...

which is like nothing...

and our eyes, our life, what we see.

If you live with a cop?

What?

You said, "If you live with a cop."

You mean, if I live with a cop.

Me, right?

Have you thought about this at all?

I have a kid.

It's a whole family.

You get that, right?

I want to ask you something.

The singles magazine.

I don't know, you know?

I mean, the dates...
