Something Wild Page #2

Especially when it's so hot and sticky.

I think I'm going to have to leave.

I'm feeling sick.

Hot, huh?

I have to go. I'm going to be sick.

Well, I never!

New York.

That's all I need.

All I need.

Aw. Poor little fella.

Aw. Where's my little wise man?

Oh, little Right there.

Here.

Come on. Hey, come on. Come on.

Hey, not so fast.

Don't try to jump again.

Come on. I can't stay here all day.

Come on.

You go. I'll be all right.

Let's go.

My name's Mike.

I work across the bridge, in a garage.

Automobile mechanic.

You know, you're lucky I came by.

That's a long way down.

Where do you live?

Barclay Street.

At home with your parents?

Alone?

Why did you do it?

I don't know.

Just happened.

I didn't mean to jump.

I'm all right now.

You sure want to get yourself killed.

Turn right here.

Well, we're here. Go on.

- This is not where I live.

- I know.

It's where I live.

Oh, no.

Now look, you nearly fainted three times

on the way over here.

You'll either kill yourself or get

picked up by the police if you're alone.

I think I'd better go home.

I'm going to the garage.

You can rest here

until I get back from work.

It's here. It's right here.

It's cool inside.

No one will bother you.

There. You see?

You can lie down there if you want.

I sleep in there.

Well, I have to go now. I'm late.

Thank you.

You feel better now?

Would you like something to eat?

Oh, no, thank you. I-I'm not hungry.

Come on. Have something.

I've had my dinner already.

Excuse me.

I'm, uh, going out now.

You can stay here if you want to.

Why don't you?

Hi.

What?

No!

Hi.

You don't seem to get much sleep.

That must have been some fight

I was in last night.

Let me out.

The door, open it.

Open it?

It's locked. Open it.

- Where are you going?

- I want to go out. Open the door.

- Wh-Why don't you stay?

- I don't want to! Let me go!

No.

Why not?

I don't want to.

I like the way you look here.

Let me go. I want to go.

- Please, let me go.

- I don't want you to!

My eye hurts.

You look tired.

Why don't you get some sleep?

I'm going.

Let me go.

What are you doing?

It's my scrapbook.

What is it?

Oh, things that interest me.

I want to go now.

Where?

I want to go home.

Where's that?

Where I live.

I have to go to work tomorrow.

What work?

I work at the five-and-ten.

I have to be there by noon.

I want to go now.

Why don't you stay here?

I have to go to work tomorrow.

How much do you make

at the five-and-ten?

Enough for me.

Let me go now.

Well, I'll pay you whatever you make at

the five-and-ten, and you can stay here.

- It won't cost you anything.

- Why do you want me to stay here?

If it weren't for me,

you'd be at the bottom of the river!

You can't complain.

I'm going to bed. I'm sleepy.

Why do you want me to stay?

You're my last chance.

I'm what?

I said you're my last chance.

Why talk about it? Good night.

Why don't you eat something?

I'm not hungry.

You're getting thinner all the time.

You look like a ghost.

If I went out sometimes, I'd be less pale.

Sometimes I think you're hopeless.

Mary Ann.

Mary Ann.

Mary Ann.

Mary Ann. Mary Ann Robinson.

Okay.

Go away. Go away! Leave me alone!

Oh, excuse me.

I had a bad dream.

It's okay.

You sure had me scared.

I thought you were going loony on me.

Sometimes I think I'm going loony myself.

Oh. I may yet.

Sleep tight. I'm going to work.

Come on. Have something to eat.

It's all ready.

I bought us a steak.

We haven't had anything

really good to eat for a long time.

I bought us some wine too for a change.

French wine. Do you like wine?

What's that on your eye?

That's nothing.

I told you I was going to get this.

Only cost a buck.

And that's all?

What do you mean, that's all?

The doctor isn't

going to look at it anymore?

No. What for?

Why don't you sit down?

Why don't you eat? It's good.

Aren't you hungry?

Not very.

Try the wine. It's very good.

You want something else to eat?

I'm not very hungry.

I'm not very hungry either.

Would you like some more wine?

I don't care too much for it.

I don't care too much for it either.

I want you to be my wife.

I need you.

I want you to be my wife.

Now.

I can't.

Why not?

I can't, no.

What's wrong with me?

I can't.

I can't.

I saved your life.

I know.

I didn't ask you to.

I was about to lose it without knowing it.

It would have been better if I had.

You don't know what you're saying!

Why don't you let me go?

No.

I need you.

When did you get this idea?

That first day, on the bridge.

Why me?

You were there.

You don't know who I am.

Who are you?

I would have said something before

except for this.

Why except for that?

It happened right after I found you.

I must have got drunk

and somebody kicked me.

Now I'm ready.

For what?

For you.

Now?

Now stay away from me!

I want you.

You know I don't want you.

It would be better if you did.

- Why?

- Why! Always "Why"!

It would be better if you did.

Better for both of us.

Stay away from me.

Don't be afraid.

Get up. Get up and let me alone.

I've waited a long time for this.

- Your eye. Your eye!

- What about it?

Stay away from me or I'll kick it out

like I did the last time!

What last time?

The first time you tried to,

your other eye, the first night.

The first night I was here.

The first night you locked me in.

You went out

and got drunk and came back

and I and I kicked you in the face.

And the next day...

your eye wasn't right.

You?

Now I remember.

Stay away from me.

It'll take much longer.

Much longer.

Didn't remember.

Didn't remember.

Bum like me didn't remember.

I still need you.

Oh.

Oh.

- Good morning.

- Morning.

The ball, please.

Thank you.

For a nickel.

- Thanks. You want a bag?

- No.

What are you back for?

Why did you come back?

I came for you.

Has the mailman come yet?

Just some advertisements

and a few Christmas cards.

Oh?

Well, then I'll be getting along.

You're looking better

than you have in some time.

You're You're looking much better.

Oh, thank you, Warren. Thank you.

Give it up, dear. Give it up.

You're just torturing yourself.

I know, dear. I know.

- Bye.

- Bye.

Go to the door. I think someone's there.

I didn't know when you'd come.

Are you all right?

Perfectly all right.

But I was so worried.

Forgive me.

This is my husband.

What are you doing here?

- I live here.

- When are you coming home?

- Mother

- Where have you been all these months?

What about your school? What about me?

What do you mean by this?

- Come and sit down, Mother.

- What are you doing here?

Now I'm asking you,

what are you doing here?

Listen to me.

This is my home. This man is my husband.

Your husband? When were you married?

How could you do such a thing to me?

- Mother.

- When are you coming home?

Mother, listen to me.

This is my home. This is my husband.

This is where my life is.

I'm going to have a baby.

A baby?

You're going to have a baby?
