The Girl in the Photographs Page #4

---

Yeah, I don't think that

they're doing anything.

It's that whole Dr. Lecter

thing, and what do we covet?

We covet what we see every day.

Yeah, well, she's the check-out girl.

Everyone sees her every day.

But somebody sees her

differently than everybody else.

To somebody... she's a star.

If I'm the police,

that's what I'm doing.

But f*** the police!

I'm not the police!

I'm a f***ing artist!

And it's a very fine line that separates

me from our sick-f*** friend.

He probably has a PC.

Maybe I'm the one

who's becoming obsolete.

Maybe I'm the PC

in this relationship.

Maybe this guy... is a Mac.

I don't want any other girls,

I want this girl.

I don't want anyone else.

For what?

For the big campaign, just her.

Well, what about the whole

"dead models" thing?

It's been done. We take Colleen

out of this shithole...

and shoot her at the studio

in LA, that's it.

Why the f*** are we here? Use Rose or Vic,

why does it absolutely have to be Colleen?

So that he can't have her.

Nobody makes me feel obsolete. Nobody makes

me feel like a f***ing Dell computer...

and gets away with it.

I want this girl.

And by the way, you do, too.

So get in line.

It's

just something I have to do.

I can't stay in this town,

it's a lot of stuff.

Well, you certainly were

a bright spot.

Not here long enough for us

to get to know you, Colleen...

but a bright spot all the same,

everybody sure likes you a lot.

You know where you're goin'?

Not like I haven't figured

it out before.

All right, your total

will be $14.93.

How's it going, Colleen?

Oh, good, you know, slow.

It's Tom.

Yeah, I know, sorry, I can't

seem to really wake up today.

Long night?

No, not really.

Oh, thank you, let me help you

there with that.

Thank you. Have a nice day!

Got any big plans

for the weekend?

Uh, probably, I'll just sleep.

That's not much fun.

Yeah, you're right about that.

Prettiest girl in town... just goin'

through a day until it's all over?

It seems like a terrible waste,

if you want to ask me.

Hey, it's none of my business.

You know, I'm not really

supposed to say this...

but you can buy a whole case

of these things at Big Lots.

Costs about half as much.

You know, the truth is I'm not sure my cat's

gonna live much longer, so I'd hate to waste it.

Oh, I'm really sorry

to hear that.

Anything else today?

No, that's it for me.

All right, your total

will be $1.09.

Cool... and let me

give you a penny.

There you go. I'll be seeing

you next time, Colleen.

Hey.

Hey.

Ah, you think that we

could talk for a second?

You know, she sometimes does

her hair up like that?

It drives me f***ing crazy.

Do you really think

this is a good idea?

No, we can leave her

here to die...

Hey, so, Chris here thinks

that I should apologize...

for taking your picture...

or something, I don't... I was

only pretending to pay attention.

Why?

Because even when

I'm a complete sh*t...

I am still a much better option.

You stay here and god

only knows how many times...

that guy tries to show you

his nasty, nasty pictures.

That's the best case scenario.

The worst case scenario...

is that you end up in one

of those nasty, nasty pictures.

Or you come out to LA with me...

and make dirty pictures for me for

a little walking-around money.

You don't have to sleep with me. You can if

you want to, but it's not a requirement.

I don't give a sh*t. You can

stay in my guest house.

I've never even seen

inside the place.

It's actually... it's pretty

nice in there.

Well, yeah, sh*t!

Look, I'm just trying to help

you, okay?

It's not like the guy is going to

follow you back to LA, all right?

That would be like a shark

eating a bunch of people...

and then getting on a plane, and getting

off at the other end of the country...

and then eating more people.

I mean, serial killers don't board

airplanes, they don't go on trips.

Serial killers don't

have wallets.

No one's saying that there's...

That there's what, a serial killer?

What should I call this person?

A man with a plan?

A very dedicated individual?

Why me?

Does it matter?

Yes, it does!

Will somebody please explain to me why

it's such a goddamn chore to be chosen?

You think this is some sort

of joke, don't you?

It's not so great to be noticed,

you know?

It's one thing to be picked out

by some fancy photographer...

but what if it's just some

random stranger...

some guy on the street?

That sort of thing

doesn't end very well.

I heard...

but you know, this...

This doesn't end very well,

either.

You still haven't answered

my question.

I chose you...

because I haven't had

a fresh idea...

in a long, long time.

Because I feel old... and tired.

And you are neither.

Honestly, I've never heard him

say anything like that, ever.

Fine.

When?

When? Tonight, now.

Tonight we have a slumber party.

A safety-in-numbers

slumber party.

And tomorrow, we get on the

first flight we can back to LA.

I mean, you weren't really

planning on living here, were you?

Someone has to come with me to my

place, so I can get some stuff.

Chris volunteers his services.

Yeah.

Watch out for Chris here.

Scientology turned him straight.

So I'm just... I'm curious...

what made you say "yes"

back there?

'Cause I'm pretty sure

I can handle myself.

Okay, good, he's not here.

Who?

Um, my boyfriend.

Oh... cool, yeah.

My ex-boyfriend.

Okay, cool.

Hey, can you do me a big favor? If you see a

black truck, just make sure you honk twice.

A black truck? Am I on like the

lookout here, or I mean, is it...

Really? Yeah.

Is he big?

Yeah, he's pretty big, but don't

worry, he's a f***ing p*ssy.

Anyway, I'll just be two seconds.

All right, I'll just...

Don't worry.

I'll just hang out here.

A black truck... sh*t.

But I've made it

such a long long time

Last night when you came home

with someone in your view

And you know I've made it

for a long long time

And you know that I have

waited such a long long time

And you know it that I've

waited for a long long time

And you know it that I've

waited such a long long time

How's Colleen?

You know, you could have

treated her like a star.

F*** you!

The thing is, I can't really

understand what you're saying.

Your mouth just sounds

like a dirty c*nt.

Should we ask Gerry what he

thinks about you?

P*ssy!

Do you like what you see,

f*ggot?

I'll f***ing kill you.

No... I don't think you will.

In an hour, your body is gonna

be in two separate trash bags.

You should have treated

her better.

F*** you.

What?

I don't know, you,

you're angrily packing...

like the girl in a movie

who is angrily packing...

because she's leaving the guy.

But in reality, we all

leaving at the same time...

and we're all going to the same place,

and I think that's incredibly funny.

What's wrong?

You know exactly what's wrong.

Okay, remind me.

You like that white trash b*tch

better than you like me...

and it is f***ing dumb.

Colleen?
