The long term physical effects,

Short term physical

effects are so groovy...

Short term physical

effects are so groovy...

Larry, please!

You know what

the chances are I...

go out in the middle of

the night and find her...

just wandering

around in the streets?

I don't know where to start.

It's a million to one.

Am I right?

It's a million to one shot.

I just can't have it

on my conciensce

that we're just sitting

here doing nothing!

What if she's out there

and she needs us?

We can't just sit here.

You just have to...

But the point is 'out where'?

Where am I going to look?

Do something! Do anything!

You can f*** the lillies

and the roses too,

You can f*** the maidens who

swear they've never been screwed.

You can f*** the Russians,

and the English too,

You can f*** the Germans,

and every pushy Jew.

Fucks the queens,

f*** the kings,

f*** the boys with

the very small tings.

F*** the birds, f*** the pigs,

f*** everything with a thorny twig.

Who can f*** the astros,

and our nurses in white,

you should f*** the uglies,

just...

to be kind and polite.

You can f*** the moon,

and June and the sea,

But before you f*** them

first...

you must f*** me.

Christ, your her father! Can't you just

get up and go out, is it too much to ask?

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do if I go out there?

What happens if you get a phoncall?

I can answer the phone!

- Do you have a picture of her?

- Yes.

Can I see it.

This is one I always carry,

it's the one in my wallet.

That's four years old.

You're kidding!

That's too big.

It's too heavy.

You know what I mean,

I can't carry that.

Yes I can.

Lynn, we're at the station now.

- Here are four pices sir.

- Thank you very much.

They don't know anything.

They've checked the hospitals...

there have been no accidents,

nobody's been arrested.

I don't know, they've given

us the name of some places...

where the kids hang out in town,

we're gonna go look at them.

- What do you want? - Scotch.

- Scotch. Two.

I'm sorry to have

dragged Tony into this.

That's alright.

He has to get up early in

the morning doesn't he?

That's alright. He

doesn't sleep anyway.

I see the house,

it's very quiet

You mean tonight,

before you came over here?

Yes.

- And before that?

- This morning.

And before that?

Last night was bowling...

But in the morning... twice.

Twice?

He's crazy. I can't even

get undressed and he goes...

I was doing the dishes the other

night and I took off my blouse...

so I wouldn't ruin it.

He came in...

In the kitchen?

He's an animal.

Do you wanna

know what happened?

He woke me up in

the middle of the night,

told me to get out of bed

and he wanted me to...

What?

To sing.

To sing?

Sing. I got out of bed...

and I sang.

And he said:
"Sing louder"

and I said:
"What about the neighbours?"

"Sing louder" so I sang louder and he

wanted me to dance so I danced.

And then?

- What did you sing?

- It's really stupid.

Please tell me.

- I'm embarrassed it's so ridiculous.

- Don't be embarrassed, what?

- Smoking is a poison for my body.

- That's very good.

Now two:

I need my body to live.

I need my body to live.

- Yes, now...

No tell me, tell me!

I owe my body this

respect and protection.

Roll down you eyes then open them.

Like a fist, tight tight fist!

I came down dah wid my

hat pulled in, doo dah doo dah...

I go back home wid a pocket

full of tin, Oh, doo-dah day!

Gonna run all night,

Gonna run all day.

I bet my money on de bob-tail nag,

somebody bet on de bay.

I think we should get some

fresh air before we go home.

I think they're here.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes this is Dr Bronson.

Yes.

Who am I

speaking with please?

Oh Mrs Tyne!

Alright hang on,

i'll be right back.

Jeannie, momma knows

that you took something.

Honey I have to know what it is.

Did you take something with a needle?

Did you smoke something?

Did you take a pill?

Ask her if she sniffed

something, I read they sniff it.

Did you, did you

sniff something?

Honey, momma not

gonna be mad at you...

I just have to know what

it is, it's very important.

I don't mean to nag at you but...

if I don't ask you, you're

not gonna tell me anything.

You won't tell me

so I have to ask you.

She's alright, she

came home by herself.

Tell momma.

You know Dr Bronson...

He told me to ask

you what you'd taken.

and then he'll

tell me what to do.

She's alright, she's on something

but she's gonna tell me what it is.

Jeannie it's very important that

you tell momma what you've taken.

What's the matter with you?

Are you out of your mind?

- You are drunk! - What do you

mean she's on something?

What kind of a father are you?

What do you mean i'm drunk?

Because she's on something, i'm

drunk and i'm going to hit her!

You went out to look

for her and you got drunk.

Did we find her?

Come on Jeannie out!

Come on out, out, out.

Does she know what

a great father she has?

Do you know how many times

i've tried to give up smoking?

Tell them Margo.

- Tell them!

- Eleven!

Doctor Bronson!

She never told

me what she took!

You talk to Doctor Bronson.

Hello.

Hello.

That's strange, he doesn't

answer but I hear breathing.

Jeannie!

Hello.

Yes this is she.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes, my daughter is...

What?

Miss? Could you

do me a favour?

If you could look at that picture

and tell me if you've seen that girl.

It's my daughter.

No, not her

Maybe you could hang onto

it and if you do recognise her...

It's got my phone number...

Could I look at those pictures?

Thank you.

Miss...

Yes?

Take a look at that.

Look over there, in the booth.

See the girl?

It's this girl.

- It's the girl in the picture.

- I don't know.

No that's not my business.

Leave me alone.

Look at the picture and look

at the girl, it's the same...

- No, I don't know. - What do
