- You do?.

- I think so.

- Hey, guys, you wanna take a look?.

- Yeah.

Well, you can't.

I guess you're mad at me

now 'cause I don't want to.

No. I thinkyou're right. I wouldn't

make love to me either ifl wereyou.

No. I mean, I wanna make love toyou,

but-- I don't know. I'm glad you won't.

- Men are insane.

- They're the scourge ofthe earth.

Look. Ifl had a daughter,

I wouldn't let one near her.

Okay?. As a matter offact, if

someone like myself came to my door...

to take my daughter out,

I think I'd get a gun.

There's plenty oftime.

I'm not goin' anywhere.

I'm not leavin' New York.

You were so! You flirt with them.

Everysingle time we go out,y,ou flirt--

Oh. Sorry. Don't stop. Don't stop.

Do you know how long it's been

since this woman's done that?.

Oh, Ron!

J ust a second. Come back here!

No. We never really got along. His

friends tell me he's a great guy, but--

He's really not bad.

It's just that he's--

I guess he was just disappointed in

his only son and all that kind ofthing.

- What did he wantyou to be?.

- Him.

Oh.

How aboutyou?. What did you do when

you got here?. Did you know anybody?.

No. I didn't know

anybody. All I did know was

that I wanted to be an

actress, a good one...

and where I come from,

ambition is a rather dirtyword.

So one day I packed my bags,

and the next day I was here.

Hmm.

- What?. What areyou thinking?.

- I don't believeyou took that money.

You can't believe it. I

can't believe it either.

I mean, it was right there, and

I needed the money, and, um--

I still don't believe that I did

it myself, but I always do things...

on the spur ofthe

moment, and--

What's the matterwith the horse?.

She's old.

But, you know, I've

had her for a long time.

Oh!

Zack, I've gotta get my messages, okay?.

This is Milton. You got the

final callback for Carnaby Street.

- Zack!

- It's 10.:
00 this morning at the Palace.

- 10:
00?. Oh, no!

- Debbie, this is Milton. Where are y,ou?

- It's 2:
30. Get over there by, 3:00.

- Zack, please.

- Oh, damn it! Milton?.

- Hello?.

- Milton, Debbie.

- Great.

- What?.

- You blew it.

I'm sorry. What happened?.

What do you think happened?.

You should have had the part.

- You were better.

- No. Come on!

- Forget it.

- Can't they see me tomorrow?.

- It was a final callback.

- You must be able to--

There's nothing I can do.

I've had it with you. Good-bye.

Okay.

- What happened?.

- It's cast.

Really?.

- There'll be other parts.

- There won't be other parts!

You don't understand. I've

been here eight months.

How many parts do you

think there are...

for an Australian who's

neverworked a day in this town?.

Oh, no!

Charlie, take a look.

- Not at the apartment.

- Down on the street.

Where is it?.

It's apartment--

It's apartment eight.

Hey, wait a minute. Who areyou?.

- What doyou want?.

- Yeah. Who areyou?.

- What doy,ou want?

- I wantyou to get what's coming toyou.

What doyou want?. A cut?. How much?.

I wantyou, sunshine. I likeyou.

I want him.

I thinkyou're despicable.

Whatnow, Charlie?

Well, you can't do anything. He's

forbidden us to use our powers.

- That's becauseyou abuse them.

- Boys.

- Relax. Eat a marshmallow.

- Forget the marshmallows.

Hey.

I understand missing chances. Mywhole life

is a series of missed chances. Believe me.

There'llbe otherparts.

There won't be other parts.

It's different for you.

- How?.

- You can createy,our own inventions.

I can't create my own parts.

My inventions?. They're

probably destroyed right now.

- I can't go home and find out.

- Well, at least you have a home.

Because ofy,ou, I was evicted. I don't have

any,money,. I don't have anywhere to live.

You got more than me.

You got all this stuff.

Oh, all this stuff?.

Why don't you take it then?. Take all this!

Take my armoire, TV and stereo and sell it.

- I don't want it.

- Suddenlyyou have ethics?.

- Yes, I have ethics.

- What ethics?.

I keep trying. That's my ethic. I

stay one step ahead of everybody.

Look. I don't wait for

anybody to give me anything.

Hey, things aren't going

that well for me either.

I mean, I'm a gimmick man.

I got novelties I make...

and most ofthem really suck.

But I'll tell you something. One day, I'm

gonna do something I'm definitely proud of.

That's my ethic:
to keep goin'...

which is exactly what

I should do right now.

Why couldn't they calm down and talk?. They

forgot theywere having a wonderful time.

- Where's the money,?

- I don't have it.

Get her!

Where's my,money,?

It's gone!

What do you mean, it's gone?

I want my money!

- I've got some money.

- Get it.

Cover him.

I like your doorbells.

Come on.

Ten dollars?.

That's it. Didn'tyou guys

get any at the Plaza?.

Boss, I think he's tellin' the truth.

I am tellin' the truth.

- Gag him. - Yeah-- No. Boss, but I

think he's tellin' the truth. Really.

You'll do what I tell

you! Now, hold his mouth!

All right. Hold this! Thereyou go.

Takeyour 10 dollars and go. Get out of

here. Quick. Take it. Get out ofhere!

- What areyou doing?.

- Don't be mad.

Don't be mad?. You're

gonna pay for this!

Hey,!

Holdit right there. Let's go. Let's go.

You have the right to remain silent,

refuse to answer any questions.

Anything you say will be used

against you in a court oflaw.

You know the rest. Let's go. In

the car. Let's go, lady. You too.

- Hey, Sarge, you gonna

tell 'em about the reward?.

Thankyou, sir. There will be a reward.

No. Please, officer. I'm simply

doing my duty as a good citizen.

Come on.

Come on. Give it up, Zack. I mean, they

fired her because she flirted with you.

You came awaywith nothing. She

took the money. We figured that out.

But ify,ou'll testify against her, we'll

chargey,ou as an accessoryto the robbery.

I'll talk to the D.A., who's a friend, and

I might be able to gety,ou off!on probation.

Now, this is the last time I'm

gonna make this off!er, Zack.

What do you say?.

Just what I 've been saying.

I don't know what this is about.

All right. I 'll talk to her. And

just watch how fast she makes a deal.

Mmm-mmm.

Okay,, Debbie. Come on.

- Hey, what you doin' with her, man?.

- Hey,, wherey,ou takin'her?

You said before you didn't know Zack

before he came in to rob the bank.

I didn't say I knew the

man who robbed the bank.

- We know it was Zack.

- Then what do you want from me?.

Shut up over there!

Debbie, I wanna give you a chance...

to refute the allegations

that Zack made againstyou.

Look, I've seen police shows,

and I know howyou try and turn

people against one another.

It's not gonna workwith me.

What you got?.

That Beazley fella says we should ask

Zack about the special effects robbery.

All right.

Just turn around and stare at her.

Man, she threw you to the sharks!

We got more than we needed.

She didn't tell you anything.

You know, it's funny.

I mean, the police had given up...

on trying to figure out who pulled

that special effects robbery.
