That Cold Day in the Park Page #3

Synopsis: Robert Altman's sadly neglected film that, along with his later "Images", fits into the unconventional psycho-thriller mold. A bizarre story with Sandy Dennis as a spinster who takes in a handsome young man (Michael Burns) who is pretending to be mute. She imprisons the boy and supplies his every need, including a prostitute (Luana Anders), whom she goes out and brings home for Burns' pleasure.

Not bad.

Nina, you'll make me have problems.

What is this?

Put it down, will you? She'll be back.

Frances, you're late. I called.

I'm sorry.

Nobody answered.

- I was out.

It is very humid.

There you are!

- I'll be right there.

Good evening!

You made us worry.

Frances, you're late.

I know.

You do not play, my uncle?

- My arm hurts.

Do not you go take a bath?

Do not do it, it will not delay.

I'll take a bath, let me go.

But she will soon return!

You've taken one.

- She asked me.

I take one too.

You'll be in trouble.

- I'm sure she'll say anything.

I'm your sister, right?

- Stop, that's enough.

It is not as if I took a bath every day.

I have no bath.

There is one for parents.

You can talk.

I'm there more often than you.

At least she has it all.

Not touch, she will notice it.

She'll say it's you.

Hurry up, will ya?

She has great stuff.

I do not know when she comes. Hurry up.

I'll take my time. Relax.

I have told you, I do

not take a bath every day.

Brat who would deprive

his sister a bath.

Give me...

Give me a towel, quick!

Behind you.

I use it, Give me another one, quick!

My mascara runs.

Help me. My lashes are the trunk.

I have my pants. It will not, right?

Okay, enough, you win!

This is Nicky who should

be here. You'll see!

Not.

We need stops, she will notice it.

Remember my plastic boat?

It was a duck.

The duck was yours. Me,

it was a boat, a submarine.

It is well done!

What tone!

This is not your day.

It's too cold.

It will warm you.

It's gonna rain.

- I do not think so.

Will it last long?

Another hour.

I would like Nicky is here.

He's not here.

Anyone but you.

Except my brother.

Damage. Now get dressed.

Imagine if I was not your sister.

What does that mean?

I turn you on?

If you went with the parents?

It's been a while, right?

Come on.

Approach.

For what?

I...

I am a little stiff neck.

Nina, you're completely barge.

I get excited because

you're afraid of me.

But this is not true!

Where it hurts?

Sit.

Gently.

Above.

Above.

Continue.

Kitten?

What?

You have a poop eye.

F***!

It was not worth it.

- Forget it.

I feel woozy. I probably

caught cold tonight.

I'll give you something.

This is probably fatigue.

I try to have a discussion with you.

I would, but it's late.

It is 21:
30.

Yes, use.

Thank you.

Lying to me.

Certainly.

Migraine?

No, it's okay.

I do not have a migraine.

It will if you do not you relax.

I'm tired.

Frances.

We know long.

Can I afford a comment some deem moved?

I never mentioned your privacy.

Our friendship

and I considre as sincere,

Blows has made the surface.

What I mean is that...

It is not a whim

but a deliberate thing.

I'm sure sometimes you need to be loved.

Bend your knees and get a little.

Now put your feet in stirrups.

Perfect.

down a little more.

Everything okay?

Are you sure?

Yes, I had an exhausting day.

Frances, people trust See

you often their doctor.

They forget one thing.

A doctor also has its problems.

Loneliness is.

I am alone, like many others.

I need someone.

Charles, I think that's enough.

Sorry, I...

- I'm sorry.

You told me maybe misunderstood.

When I spoke of love...

I did not mean...

I wanted to talk...

tenderness, understanding, but no...

You do not believe me so presumptuous.

I do not want to offend you.

Maybe with time...

Charles will.

This must be my fault.

I withdraw.

Can I call you tomorrow?

Sleep well.

You sleep?

I do not.

I had a tough day.

I'm too tired to sleep.

But most importantly,

it makes me feel weird to have you home.

I used to be alone.

I wonder...

You must think I'm all alone...

I am, it is true, but

I do not think about it.

My mother was always saying

she was lonely after

the death of my father.

She kept repeating.

As if I was not for her no company.

But it was old and senile...

I do not think about it.

Old people disgust me

with their feelings.

You think I'm old? I was wondering...

You know...

I have a friend.

He is a doctor.

And he wants all the

time make love to me.

All the time.

It does not please me at all.

But he still wants me.

I hate him to touch me.

Looks like an old man. He feels old.

I've known...

ten years.

That has never changed.

It is always the same.

It is always impeccable.

His shirts, shoes.

I remember your shoes

the day of your arrival.

You wear them without laces.

Without socks either.

I had never seen someone without socks.

It gave me something.

His shoes are classy about him.

Shined.

Rather small.

When he sits, we see her garters.

Always he pulls his pants

at the knees.

You know what I mean?

I think he needs me

but I've never felt for him.

I'm to be alone, it disgusts me.

I would like to know

if you really sleep.

You're very strong if you pretend.

Do you mind if I lie?

I stay on the covers. I lie, that's all.

There like that.

I also wanted to tell you...

If you want to love me,

I'm fine.

I want you to make love to me.

Please.

"This product is intended

lovers of pleasure.

"Syrupy and sensual,

"It penetrates the skin

during the massage..."

It makes you laugh to read that?

Right?

- "In a 100 ml bottle."

What it meant,

"It's not like you?" Wait...

What? Be more specific.

See you later, you said

"It is not like you."

What does that mean?

Okay, it's different.

But at that hand?

Its about sex is very strange.

It actually a big deal.

I should go see and spend time with her.

Instead of squatting here?

Squatter? Thanks to me, you r comic eye.

There will be entitled

like everyone else.

We're not at war.

You have not even eaten.

Leave him alone.

Come on, let him.

It is always the same.

I'm tired of your bickering.

You slept late.

I run a bath.

I can leave here whenever I want.

Even if you remember me,

I do not sleep with you.

If I want a girl, I

can get out to find one.

And I will not.

I'm sorry.

Really.

I do not want you to be angry.

I want you to stay here.

I want nothing changes.

Can you understand that?

I will not let you leave.

Not now.

Forgiveness.

It's cute, it.

She looks like my sister.

Your sister?

- I swear.

You have a sister, do you?

I'm serious.

That's it.

They chope where this time?

It was behind the Plaza.

80 stitches.

The last time,

she stayed three weeks.

It's like that.

Believe me, this time it is finished.

No job, she'll do what?

Danny cares.

80 stitches...

Gillian Freeman

Gillian Freeman (born 5 December 1929) is a British writer. Born to Jewish parents Dr. Jack Freeman and his wife Freda (née Davids) in North London, she graduated in English Language and Literature from the University of Reading in 1951. She married Edward Thorpe, novelist and ballet critic of the Evening Standard, in 1955. They have two daughters, the actresses Harriet Thorpe and Matilda Thorpe. One of her best known books was the 1961 novel The Leather Boys (published under the pseudonym Eliot George, a reference to the writer George Eliot), a story of a gay relationship between two young working-class men, later turned into a film for which she wrote the screenplay, this time under her own name. The novel was commissioned by the publisher Anthony Blond, who wanted a story about a "Romeo and Romeo in the South London suburbs". Her non-fiction book The Undergrowth of Literature (1967), was a pioneering study of pornography. In 1979, on another commission from Blond, she wrote a fictional diary, Nazi Lady: The Diaries of Elisabeth von Stahlenberg, 1938–48; Freeman's authorship was not at first revealed and many readers took it to be genuine. Her most recent book is But Nobody Lives in Bloomsbury (2006), a fictional study of the Bloomsbury Group. more…
