To kill myself.

Sonny, the enchilada

Plate here--

Sonny, the enchilada

Plate here--

Did you hear what I said?

I'm going to kill myself!

Did you hear what I said?

I'm going to kill myself!

I really am.

I really am.

Sonny...

Sonny...

You're the sweetest

Guy I know.

I'm so sorry.

Forget it.

It doesn't

Bother me.

[crunches]

That bothers me.

I'm sorry, Sonny.

I'm hungry.

I haven't

Eaten all day.

Eat, if you can eat

When Im dying.

I don't have to.

I have more time.

True.

Sonny.

Jessie, Julie...

I will do anything

I can for them.

I will do anything

I can for them.

What a guy.

I appreciate it.

I appreciate it.

Sonny.

This is morbid,

But we're

On the subject.

In what manner...

How do you--

To do it?

Yeah. How--

I think...

I think

Sleeping pills.

Ah!

Ah!

Most painless. Right?

I don't have any,

But I could

Borrow some.

Good.

You got any?

No.

I have sleep-eze.

You can't O.D.

On sleep-eze.

You could, but

It would take 3,000.

Yeah.

Well...

Well...

I'm gonna go by

And see Mary Ellen.

But Im not going

To tell her that--

Oh, no.

I'll just say Ill

Be back sometime.

Intelligent,

Sensitive...

That's what

We expect of you.

You can't be dying, Sonny!

Don't tell me that!

It can't be true!

Honey, Im...

Honey, Im...

I'm sorry, baby.

I shouldn't have

Told you.

Sonny, not now.

Sonny, not now.

Sonny!

This could be

My last meal.

[meow]

Sonny, not now!

Just making

A little joke.

Well, it's

A terrible one!

Well, it's

A terrible one!

You're using your death.

You're using your death.

Yeah. You're right.

Yeah. You're right.

I guess I was going

For a pity f***.

I guess I was going

For a pity f***.

Sonny.

Oh, my sweet Sonny!

Stupid idea.

Stupid idea.

Oh, Sonny,

What can I do

To make you

Feel better?

I didn't think

You'd go for it.

Oh, Sonny,

I'll do anything!

Oh, Sonny,

I'll do anything!

Noooo!

[kissing]

Ha ha ha!

Kitty, kitty.

How was it in there?

Hmm, felt good.

Hmm, felt good.

Did you...

Did you...you know?

Did you...you know?

No.

No.

There was a moment there

When you arched your back

And let out a little sigh...

I thought maybe

You reached orgasm then.

I thought maybe

You reached orgasm then.

No.

You know the moment

I'm talking about?

When you had your back arched

And you--ohhh--let out--

Sonny, I really don't

Want a blow by blow

Description of

Our lovemaking.

Takes everything

Out of it.

Yeah. Of course it does.

Maybe you reached a climax

And didn't know it.

Now, that's possible.

Now, that's possible.

No, it's not.

No, it's not.

Did you at least

Like it?

Well, of course

I liked it, Sonny.

I wouldn't do it

If I didn't like it.

I wouldn't do it

If I didn't like it.

Yeah, that's the difference

Between you and me.

I've done it with people

I didn't like.

I've done it with people

That nobody liked.

Ohhhh!

Ohhhh!

The least you could do

For a dying man is come.

Oh, Sonny!

You don't let go.

You won't release.

You've told me

That yourself.

Oh, please, Sonny.

What can I do?

What any decent

Woman would do.

Lie to me!

For goodness sakes,

I can't lie to you.

That's why

You love me.

That's the problem!

That's always

Been the problem!

I love you more

Than you love me!

That's why you won't

Move in with me!

That's why you

Won't come

Or clean up

This kitchen!

Sonny, why are you

Doing this to me?

Why are you saying

These things

To make me

So unhappy?

Because Im unhappy!

Seeing you is like...

Being alone!

Psss!

Why do you keep

Coming here?

I say exactly

How I feel!

Kitty, kitty,

Kitty, kitty.

Why do you

Come here?

I gotta get

Out of here.

Where are you going?

I got to see

Julie before...

Before what?

Before what?

Before she finds out

What happened.

I thought

You hadn't decided

If you would tell

Julie or not.

Look, I want to talk

To my daughter!

Ok, all right.

Don't get mad.

I just don't want you

To do anything crazy.

Like what?

I don't know.

I just don't want you

To hurt yourself.

Oh, don't be silly.

What are you

Talking about?

Where's that gun

I gave you?

Sonny!

I'm just kidding.

You're not funny!

Yes, I am.

Honey, I got to change.

Julie doesn't like me

In ladies' clothes.

Sonny, I...

I hate

To let you go.

Why?

Why?

Am I gonna see you

Back here tonight?

Am I gonna see you

Back here tonight?

Of course.

Of course.

Sonny...

You promise you

Won't do anything?

You promise you

Won't do anything?

Mary Ellen...

If I planned

To kill myself,

Don't you think

I would tell you about it,

So you would be riddled

With guilt and remorse?

That's true.

That's true.

Sleeping pills?

What do you need

Sleeping pills for?

Go on a good diet.

Give up sugar

And caffeine.

Don't lecture me!

Don't lecture me from

Classes that I paid for!

I was trying

To help.

You always relate

Everything to money.

A lesson I learned

From your lawyer.

Get out!

I'm sorry.

I don't want to fight.

I don't want to fight.

What?

What?

I don't want

To fight with you!

You don't?

No!

No!

What's the matter,

Wendell?

I don't feel good.

Try this, you'll

Feel better.

If you really

Can't sleep,

Why don't you borrow

Some pills from your folks?

They're

Hypochondriacs.

My folks are not

Hypochondriacs!

You always call them

Hypochondriacs!

They might have

Some downers though.

Why are you here?

To discuss something

With Julie.

It's very important.

Maybe Ill tell you.

Will it depress me?

God, I hope so.

Would you save it

Till tomorrow?

Julie woke up

At 5:
30 this morning

Screaming that the shark

Was after her again.

I will never forgive you

For taking her to that movie.

You know she's

Afraid of the water.

I'm sorry. She said

She wanted to see it.

I was making her happy.

She wanted to look

Brave to you.

You're so dumb.

Don't say that!

I support you!

The maid is napping.

I support her!

If you wake Maria--

We fired Maria!

It's another Maria!

Oh.

Julie's screaming

Woke her up, too.

So Maria started

Screaming

Because she thought it

Was the border patrol.

Because she thought it

Was the border patrol.

Radio:

Solamente cinco pesos.

Con cinco pesos,

Compra usted

El bucket grande

De kentucky fried chicken.

Y una botella

Decoca-cola.

Y una botella

Decoca-cola.

Jessie, you want to

Hear about heartache?

You want to hear

About heartbreak?

You growing a beard?

Yes, for 3 months.

Why?

Because

Some mornings

I don't have the

Strength to shave.

You should go

To a barber.

You should go

To a barber.

You don't care

About me at all.

You don't care

About me at all.

Not since you

Walked out that door.

You threw me

Out the door!

With 2 hookers!

One little mistake!

I've paid

For it for 6 years.

Out of

Respect for you,

The three of us

Never laid

Down on our bed.

[doorbell rings]

That's my date.

Please get out.

No.

Aaahh!

Aaahh!

Why don't

You drop dead?

I'm working on it.

Buenos tardes.

Tu es hermosa.

Oh, grazie.
