BANANAS OVER SOMETHING.

I DIDN'T HEAR

WHAT YOU SAID.

I SAID I WON'T BE HOME

TILL LATE.

I'VE GOT TO STOP

AT THE LAB.

LOOK, IT'S YOU!

JUST A SECOND.

TAKE IT BACK A LITTLE.

THERE, TRY IT THERE.

Paul:
SHE SAID,

"I'LL ALWAYS

TAKE CARE OF YOU."

YEAH. NOW, IF YOU CAN

GET HER TO REPEAT THAT...

OK.

PUSH THE BUTTON DOWN,

WALK AROUND AND TALK.

IT'S GONNA BE

A DIFFERENT SHIRT.

SO?

WELL, WHAT DO YOU

WANT ME TO SAY?

ANYTHING. ANYTHING.

HI, I'M

PAUL SNIDER.

PAUL SNIDER, HI.

MORE, MORE.

TESTING. 1, 2, 3, 4.

TESTING. 1, 2, 3, 4.

OK.

YOU KNOW, WE JUST NEED

TO STRAIGHTEN:

SOME THINGS OUT.

ONCE WE SEE EACH OTHER,

IT'LL BE OK.

[STATIC]

DAMN.

DAMN THING:

DOESN'T WORK.

HELL, WE

DON'T NEED IT ANYWAY.

ONCE WE SPEND:

SOME TIME TOGETHER,

EVERYTHING'S GOING

TO BE FINE AGAIN.

I KNOW IT.

HE CALLED ME:

IN THE MORNING:

AND SAID HE WAS:

GOING TO SEE HER THAT DAY.

IT SAYS THURSDAY

AT 8 P.M.

CAN WE WATCH I TOGETHER?

ABSOLUTELY.

WE'VE GOT A DATE.

I'LL SEE YOU 2:
30, OK?

HE STILL HAD SOME CRAZY IDEA

HE COULD PUT I ALL BACK TOGETHER AGAIN.

HE VACUUMED THE RUG,

HE POLISHED THE VINYL,

HE CLEANED THE WHOLE HOUSE.

Detective:
SHE ARRIVED

A LITTLE AFTER NOON.

THE PLAN WAS, I WAS

TO CALL IN AN HOUR OR SO

TO SEE HOW IT WAS GOING.

UH, WE WORKED OU A LITTLE CODE

SO SHE WOULDN'T KNOW

HE WAS TALKING TO ME.

I TRIED TO GET THROUGH

ON THE PHONE, BUT, UH...

YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.

I'VE BEEN DRINKING.

I'M NERVOUS.

I AM, TOO.

LOOK AT MY HAND.

THIS IS:

A NEW SHIRT.

I MUST HAVE:

COMBED MY HAIR:

A DOZEN TIMES.

I GUESS I HAD:

SOME CRAZY IDEA:

I COULD:

WIN YOU BACK.

A REAL SCHMUCK,

HUH?

THERE'S NO CHANCE,

IS THERE?

WE HAVE SOME THINGS

WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT.

I KNOW.

I LOVE YOU, DOROTHY.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I CAN GIVE YOU $7,000.

PLEASE COME BACK TO ME.

IT'S HALF OF

EVERYTHING I HAVE.

LET'S MAKE I LIKE IT WAS BEFORE.

PLEASE?

I HAVE SOME OF IT HERE

WITH ME.

REMEMBER THE RING

I GAVE YOU?

YES.

STILL HAVE IT?

YES.

I DON'T THINK

I WANT TO GO ON:

LIVING WITHOUT YOU.

I BOUGHT A GUN.

OH, PAUL.

THINGS WILL CHANGE FOR YOU.

NO!

WHAT? YOU MEAN

MAYBE I'LL GROW UP

TO BE:

A BIG MOVIE DIRECTOR?

OR OWN:

A BIG MAGAZINE?

IS THAT WHAT YOU MEAN?

MAYBE THEN:

I COULD GET YOU BACK!

IS THAT WHA YOU'RE SAYING?

SIT DOWN!

THOSE F***ING BASTARDS!

I WANT TO LEAVE.

I'M SORRY.

I'M SORRY.

PLEASE DON'T LEAVE.

I WANT TO:

SHOW YOU SOMETHING.

PLEASE STAY:

JUST A MINUTE.

I WON' DO THAT AGAIN.

PLEASE.

I HAVE BEEN WORKING

MY ASS OFF ON THESE.

GOD, I HOPE

YOU LIKE THEM.

THEY'RE A LOT BETTER THAN

THE FARRAH FAWCETT ONES,

AREN'T THEY?

SHE SOLD 5 MILLION OF THEM

IN ONE YEAR.

WELL, WHICH ONE

DO YOU THINK?

WE COULD AT LEAST STILL

BE IN BUSINESS TOGETHER.

DON'T SHAKE YOUR F***IN'

HEAD LIKE THAT AT ME!

IS IT TOO SMALL-TIME FOR

THE BIG MOVIE STAR, HUH?

TOO TASTELESS, MAYBE?

I THINK...

OH HO HO! YOU THINK.

I THINK THAT WE:

SHOULD BREAK CLEANLY.

OH.

I WANT IT TO BE:

OVER.

HMM. IS THAT WHAT ARAM

TOLD YOU TO SAY?

AND WHAT THE F***

IS $7,000?!

YOU THINK I'M STUPID.

I MAY NOT BE:

A HEFNER OR AN ARAM,

BUT I'M NOT STUPID.

NOT JUST YET, YOU DON'T!

NOT UNTIL YOU TELL ME

WHERE THE RES OF THE MONEY IS.

WHO'S HOLDING IT FOR YOU?

TELL ME!

IT'S HALF.

LIAR! GET THE F***

OUTTA HERE!

"I'LL ALWAYS

TAKE CARE OF YOU, PAUL."

"I LOVE YOU, PAUL."

"I OWE YOU

SO MUCH, PAUL."

LIAR! LIAR!

LIAR!

LIAR!

I DON'T THINK

YOU'VE EVER KNOWN

HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

WELL, MAYBE NOW YOU WILL.

YOU THINK I'M FAKING,

DON'T YOU?

YOU DON'T THINK

I'D DO IT, DO YOU?

YOU THINK:

I'M A COWARD.

LET'S NOT HUR EACH OTHER ANYMORE, PLEASE.

OH, PLEASE.

TOO SMALL-TIME

FOR YOU NOW, HUH?

YOU SLEPT WITH HIM

LAST NIGHT...

DIDN'T YOU?

ANSWER ME.

DIDN'T YOU?

SURE YOU DID.

YOU F***ED

THE BIG DIRECTOR.

WELL, NOW ME.

I'LL GIVE YOU

A CHANCE TO JUDGE,

A CHANCE TO SEE:

WHO THE REAL MAN IS!

AAH!

STOP IT, PAUL!

AAH!

[CRYING]

[CHUCKLES]

YOU'RE GONNA DO ME

A BIG FAVOR, HUH?

OK.

THAT'S ME...

A CHARITY CASE.

NOW, TRY TO THINK OF

DEAR ARAM IF YOU CAN.

THEY'RE KILLING ME.

THEY'RE TRYING

TO KILL ME.

[CRYING]

THOSE BASTARDS!

[CAMERA SHUTTER CLICKS]

[CLICK]

OPERATOR, CAN YOU

CHECK ON A NUMBER FOR ME?

I THINK IT'S OUT OF ORDER.

HOLD ON.

OK.

MY QUEEN.

HER NAME IS:

BILLIE JOAN WORTH.

SHE'S VERY SWEET.

NOW THAT PEOPLE:

RECOGNIZE YOU,

WHAT'S IT LIKE?

OH.

I'LL GO SHOPPING

IN THE STORE,

AND I'LL SEE PEOPLE GOING,

"HEY, THAT'S

DOROTHY STRATTEN."

OR, "HEY, CAN WE HAVE

A PICTURE OF YOU?

CAN WE HAVE AN AUTOGRAPH?"

OR EVEN IN THE AIRPORT,

YOU KNOW,

PEOPLE RUSHING UP TO ME

TO GET MY AUTOGRAPH

OR SOMETHING.

THAT'S REALLY EXCITING

FOR ME.
