Short Cuts Page #10

Slut. I should make you

get an egg.

You got an egg in that refrigerator?

No, you don't got an egg?

- What about a candle?

- [Baby Babbles] Candle.

What about them rubber bands

I told you about?

I don't think you got 'em tight enough.

Snap 'em!

- Good.

- [Boy] Okay. Geez.!

Okay, take them rubber bands

off your dick.

I'm gonna suck your dick now.

I'm gonna introduce your dick

to my tonsils.

Sit back down. Joe, now!

- Baby-

- How long you gonna stay on that phone, Lois?

- Sit down. Look at the cards.

- Say, "Please, mistress."

- Sit down.

- [Lois] I didn't tell you to come.!

So tell me, how did it feel?

Next time I'm gonna make you

get a Q-Tip with some aftershave...

and I'm gonna make you

stick it up that dick of yours.

: Wednesday.

Call me, b*tch.

[Joe]

Bend the card.!

They don't want another dog.

- Well, neither do I.

- Neither do I.

- Neither do I.

- Neither do I.!

- Neither do I!

- I! I! I!

I!

I don't even see

what the difference is.

They're not even gonna know

who Suzy is in a week.

Let's take the kids, put them in the car,

drive around and see if anybody's seen him.

- Can't do it. I got plans.

- Oh, Gene, come on!

Sherri, I told you

a week and a half ago...

I got the leadership... council thing

on the... crack kids.

What you should do is,

you should go out with the kids...

put up some signs, offer a reward -

not too much.

- Remember, it's a dog.

- Who's Claire "The Clown" Kane?

What are you doing

looking in my pockets?

What are you doing with

her driver's license and telephone number?

You wanna know?

I'll tell you.

Claire Kane, a.k.a. "The Clown"...

is a bunco artist

wanted in three states.

I have her phone number because I'm

running a sting operation. Now you know.

And now, unfortunately...

I have compromised your safety

and the children's safety.

Are you happy now?

[Marian] There is a-

a hard, heavy physicality...

in my new paintings...

in part because I've executed them

on large panels of wood...

but I'd say that

they're tempered by the-

- Oh. Sorry.

- Sorry.

Um, tempered by

the ephemeral use of color.

You could almost say

that it's beyond natural color.

[Man On Phone]

What are they about?

[Marian] Well... [Sighs]

I think they're about seeing...

and the responsibility

that comes with that.

- Okay.

- [Man] And call next week.

- Thanks. Thank you very much.

- Bye.

Bye-bye.

Who was that? Sherri?

No, that was David...

at the gallery.

Oh. David at the gallery.

I'm hoping to get a show there.

Is this "David at the gallery" going to be

another Mitchell Anderson in our lives?

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, that's the sort of stuff you two

used to blather on about, isn't it?

What are you talking about?

The lousy painter. The one who never

sold anything. Mitchell Anderson.

Just because he never sold anything

doesn't mean he was a lousy painter.

So you've said.

Well, it's true.

You know,

scientifically speaking, Marian...

there's no such thing

as "beyond natural color."

[Stuart] I don't know why we're sittin'

around here actin'like it was our fault.

We didn't have

anything to do with it.

[Gordon] Yeah. Suppose we'd never

come up here in the first place.

When would she have been found?

Maybe never. Nothing we can do to help.

[Vern] She must have been murdered.

I mean, she's naked and everything.

[Gordon] Nothing we're gonna

do about it tonight, anyway.

[Stuart]

Suppose it floats away.

[Vern]

Then it's out of our hands.

Maybe that's what we oughta do -

kick it loose and let somebody else find it.

[Stuart] Ah, I don't know. I think we

oughta tie it up so it won't float away.

Then we can, uh, you know,

deal with it in the morning.

What do you say about that?

[Vern] I say we got two hours of prime trout

time left. That's what we oughta deal with.

[Gordon]

Hey, let's take a vote.

[Stuart]

All right by me.

Fish now,

or deal with the body.

I say fish now.

Suppose the current takes it away.

Then it's not our problem.

[Chad] The Planeteers are trying to

save the planet and the environment.

Uh, they're all

wonderful characters.

- Tell Gene where he comes from.

- The tropical rain forest.

- [Betty] This one?

- This is Ma-Ti.

His power is heart.

Let's see. Where is his ring?
