Sonny Page #3

It ain't.

Listen to this. While you're here,

I've got these two sisters. All right?

-They are good-looking sisters.

-So?

So, I go with one of them, sort of.

And the other one...

her older sister.

She has an amazing area.

Love it.

What, like, we'll go out on a date?

Like, a real date?

We're friends, right? I can ask you

a question because we're friends, right?

Yeah, I'm a friend.

You know, there was some talk...

back in the Army.

You never went out

and socialized with a lady very often.

And it is none of my business...

but if you don't like girls, you know....

No, it ain't that. It's just, you know....

I ain't never been out on a real date before.

I don't understand. Why not?

It's a long story.

I'm not up for it now.

I guess I'm just worried

I wouldn't know how to act.

It's time you learned. You just be yourself.

Smile.

We'll go out and have a good time.

Why are you blowing on it? It ain't hot.

He blows on the ice cream before he eats it.

Guess I thought it was for a second.

You blew on the ice cream?

-What do you think?

-I liked it.

Good. It was all right.

Oh, yeah, rough.

First movie I've seen in a long time.

Birds.

-Cold?

-Yes.

-You think you can give that up?

-I live here!

-Let me take that.

-Thanks.

You think we can navigate those two

over to the couch?

Why don't we put on some music?

You're gonna wake up Wendy.

Wait. You mean there's three of you here?

-You know we had a kid sister!

-I did not.

That's because you've never been here

in the daytime.

That's true.

Why don't you put on some music?

Thanks.

So, what do you do?

Do? Do what?

For a living.

All night long

we've talked about Jesse's father...

or my sister's sex life.

You haven't said six words about yourself.

I don't know what I do.

I came out here looking for a job.

You're a strange man.

Why?

I don't quite know.

You're a funny mix.

Something...

real smooth and easy...

and kind of awkward, like a little kid.

I'm just going through a transition thing.

I'll get more relaxed as I go.

What are you doing?

Are you making a move on me?

Yeah, I guess.

That's okay, isn't it?

Yeah, that's okay.

I promise that.

Oh, my God!

That was amazing!

You know, you should do that for a living.

I do.

What?

I mean, I used to.

What do you mean, you used to?

You asked me what I did out there.

I used to be a whore.

What do you mean

that you used to be a whore?

Only women are whores.

Now you're starting to sound like a man.

Wait a minute.

I thought you were in the Army.

-With Jesse--

-I was.

I was. This is before the Army.

I don't do it anymore.

I'm through with that world.

I like this world much better.

I do.

You know what?

I have to go to the bathroom.

So stay right here, okay?

I'll be right back.

I just told you that

because I wanted to be honest....

What's that?

I have asthma. So sometimes I can't sleep.

You think I don't know what this sh*t is?

No, it's just cough syrup.

You think I haven't seen people

with stomach habits?

It's cough syrup!

F***ing Codeine.

How bad are you strung out?

What?

What's the matter with you?

I'm crazy?

Isn't anyone in the world straight anymore?

Stop that!

What're you doing? Don't touch my stuff!

Stop it! No!

You're spilling my medicine!

F*** you!

-What's going on, man?

-Your friend's a junkie.

She's not a junkie.

She drinks cough syrup, all right?

-You mean, you knew?

-Yeah, so what?

So what? I guzzle beer.

You break sh*t.

She drinks cough syrup. So what?

-It's supposed to be different.

-What's supposed to be different?

You, her, the whole thing

is supposed to be different.

-What's going on?

-Just go back to bed.

I want him out of here!

Why? Am I unclean?

Am I not clean enough for you? Am I sick?

Is that why?

I'm better than all you bullshit squares!

-Get him out of here!

-Then you can go back to your f***ing life!

-Go to bed.

-Get him out of here.

You want me out?

Get the f*** away from me!

-I said everything's fine!

-Get away!

Why don't you get the f*** out?

Get the f*** away from me!

You want me out of your house?

You want me out of here?

Will that make you happy?

You want me out? All right,

you can go back to your f***ing life!

Get the f*** away from me!

Cool it.

I'm better than you!

I'm better than all of you!

F*** you!

You out all night?

Yeah, I tried not to wake you.

Adonis.

You going out again?

Aren't you gonna wear your white suit?

It always looked so good on you.

Why don't you just let me wear

what I want to wear?

Not quite like you thought, was it?

I don't wanna talk about it.

I know, baby.

I know, I understand.

You go on about your business...

and I'll call around town,

see what's going on for you.

I can take care of myself.

Sonny, my baby.

I was so scared

I was gonna lose you forever.

I need you.

Ain't got no pension, no nothing.

I just got you.

You're the only thing

I got to show for my life.

You're the only good thing

that ever happened to me.

I need you. You're all I got!

You're gonna wrinkle my shirt.

Tell me you know you're all I got.

-Come on, I gotta go!

-Tell me, damn you!

I know.

Oh, God, Sonny!

Did you make it?

I'm sorry. I tried not to...

but I guess I'm out of practice.

You mad at me?

Oh, baby, I'm not mad at you.

I couldn't be mad at you.

That's what you're here for.

I just wanted to spend more time.

We are so good together.

I just wanted to please you.

Could you tell that?

-You did it.

-Did l?

-I missed you, lady.

-Did you really?

Yeah, I sure did.

Well, I better get....

Oh, my God!

Do you have to get back pretty soon?

What time is it?

10:
00.

Sh*t!

I gotta pick up Harry at the airport at 11:00.

I have to see you again.

I gotta see you again.

-Where can I get in touch with you?

-I'll give you my number.

I'd do it every week...

but you know how it is.

New husband, new rules.

I'll find a way around it somehow,

I know I will.

You can call me here anytime.

Just leave me your name...

and the number you're at,

and when you wanna do it.

Thank you.

You're gonna miss that plane.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry.

I wasn't thinking about it, I guess.

Oh, baby, I only have $150 in cash.

Can I write you a check?

You know that I can't take a check, Meg.

That's right.

Oh, boy, I certainly can't write a check

for this one, either.

Sorry.

It's no big deal.

We're friends, right?

Maybe you can do a little favor for me.

Any of your friends want a date,

maybe you can have them call me.

Yeah, I'll do what I can.

I just....

I haven't been around for a while...

and I don't really know anyone anymore.

I'll make a call for you.

I gotta get going.

I'll see you, then.

Nothing.

I'll help you all I can, angel.

Thanks, Meg, I could really use it right now.

'Bye.

Yeah, is Mattie Sullivan there?

Tell her it's Sonny Phillips.

Mattie, there's a telephone call for you.

Excuse me.

I'll take it upstairs with my mint julep.

Have a good time, Jimmy?

Mattie, there's never a dull moment
