Walking and Talking

---

What is that sound

Where is it coming from

All around

What are you running from

Something

you don't understand

Something

you cannot command

That's how I know

That she's got a new spell

Yeah, that's how I know

That she's got a new spell

What's going down

Who's moved this rope

from around me

Where has it gone

I fear this night

will drown me

So I lie awake all night

'Cause I can't sleep

with something I can't fight

And she's got a new spell

Yeah, that's how I know

That she's got a new spell

The laws of gravity

are very, very strict

And you're just bending them

for your own benefit

- [Girl #1]

Looks like a disgusting animal.

- [Girl #2] Ah.

[Girl #1]

Look, there's the nose and those

two round things are the ears.

- You guys!

- And that's the hair.

Yeah. Let me... Oh, God,

that's a big condom.

He has a big penis.

- [Page Turning]

- Ah!

She's getting ready

to strip.

- Mmm. Where's his head?

- I don't know.

- [Page Turning]

- Here's something. Eeew!

Eeew!

- What kind of underwear is that?

- I think it's sick.

Ugh. He's grabbing

her b*obs. That's disgusting.

Sorry. Hi.

- Hi. I ordered for you.

- Oh, great.

[Man]

How you doin'?

You want some coffee?

- Yes. Please.

- Excuse me.

I had wanted some coffee.

Sure thing.

Something's wrong

with Big Jeans.

She looks waxy and snotty,

and she threw up and wouldn't eat.

Oh, but that's a cat,

you know. Cats throw up

hair balls all the time.

I know, but I made

an appointment at the vet's

this morning anyway.

- So will you come?

- Oh, God. I can't. I've

got that client at 9:00.

- That's okay.

- I'll split it with you.

- Good.

- No home fries today?

- No, thanks.

- You sure?

Yeah. Yeah.

Thanks.

All right.

- Don't even smile at him.

It gives him hope.

- Sorry.

- But he's not that bad today.

- Oh.

- She's a fat thing, isn't she?

- [Chuckles]

She should be put on a diet.

It's unhealthy for a cat

to be that fat.

I know, but, you know.

Life is short. She likes to eat.

[Sighs]

I'm gonna take some blood.

Then we'll know more.

We'll get the results

in a couple of days.

Could you hold her, please?

Okay.

Look at me, kitty.

You look at me.

You little cat.

She's always tellin' me

I smell bad.

Ten seconds after I take

a shower, she tells me I stink!

I can't help it if I stink

even when I'm clean.

It just proves

it's not my fault.

Why do you think

she's always hurting your feelings?

I don't know.

I don't think she likes me.

She's your wife.

Let's assume she likes you.

- But a lot of husbands and wives

don't like each other.

- That's true.

I got this little voice

tellin' me she's mad at me,

but I don't know why.

A little voice?

- What little voice?

- The voice of the devil.

I see him too.

What... What... What does

the devil look like?

Like in the cartoons.

Little and red and mean.

You know what?

I'm really proud of myself.

You know why?

I never let myself be alone.

I always think I need to be

with somebody, but I don't.

I mean, right after Carrie

I immediately met Debbie; right

after Debbie I was with you.

And then I had that demented

relationship with that girl

in my group.

It's not funny.

I been talking on the phone

lately with this woman

I met in California.

She's a bellhop.

I know. She likes me.

I mean, I can tell

she really likes me.

But, uh, I just

want to be her friend.

That's it, you know?

I'm not gonna let it evolve

into anything more.

It's not what I need

right now.

Good. I think, you know, it'll

be really good for you to be

by yourself for a while.

I have to hurry. I have

my Alzheimer's meeting

in a half an hour.

All right. So, um, what

are you gonna do tonight?

I rented some videos.

Probably just gonna watch them.

- You?

- Nothing. Probably rent also.

"Big-breasted Babes"?

Ha-ha. Very funny.

- I don't have any cash. I need...

Can I have some money?

- Oh, my God, Andrew.

Thank you.

Oh, honey.

This is so ugly.

- Isn't it?

- Yes. This is your most gross yet!

Jesus. You designed this?

- This lived in your mind.

- Shoot me.

[Laughs]

God, I love this one.

Oh. Um, um, Rick called.

Rick?

- Said you never called him back.

- Yeah, I know. I just...

- What?

- Ah, I don't really like hangin'

out with that guy anymore.

I mean, he still does

bong hits in the bathroom.

Yeah, but, honey, don't you

think you should at least try

to keep up your friendships?

I mean, you know, you might

get sick of me one day,

- and you're gonna have

no friends left.

- That will never happen.

How about this one, Amelia?

Bugs that latch

onto people's flesh and

make their insides explode.

- Sure.

- You don't like

those kind of movies?

I love 'em

if they're well done.

- How's your job goin'?

- Good.

Good. I'm doing, uh,

most of the editing now.

And I hired a couple

of new people.

- You're a writer, right?

- Yeah, yeah.

- How's it goin' for you?

- Badly.

I'm startin' to think

I should learn how to operate

a forklift or something.

- Here, I'll rent this.

- It's a great choice.

Let's see here.

555-6972.

- Good memory.

- Yeah. What do you say

we go out sometime?

Maybe see a movie.

Um. I'm so busy.

Um. You know.

All right.

All right. I hear ya.

- Uh, take care.

- Okay, I'll see you.

Sh*t.

[Urinating]

[Laughs]

- Here.

- Whoa.

I got it.

Here.

- How... seductive.

- [Chuckles]

[Gasps]

Oh, my God.

I, uh...

Will you marry me?

[Gasps, Laughs]

Jesus Christ!

I don't believe...

- I don't believe it.

- I, um... I designed it.

And th-then they made it

for me at work.

- The... Um. You can

have the stone reset, though.

- R-Really?

- Yeah.

- [Laughs]

Oh, God. It's so beautiful.

It's beautiful. It's so beautiful.

- Y-You haven't answered me.

- Oh, God! God!

I would love

to be your wife.

Oh, my God.

How am I gonna tell Amelia?

Well, I've been doing

a lot of thinking lately,

and I've decided...

that I think I want to,

um, end therapy.

Why?

- Tell me.

- Well, I... I don't know.

I just feel like it's time.

You know, I...

I feel like I want to go at it

alone for a while.

I mean, here I am,

completely single,

and I'm not so depressed

about it.

And it's hard with Laura

being so grotesquely in love,

but I'm still okay.

And it's been forever

since I've been obsessed with anyone.

So I think I'm doin'

a lot better in that area.

How are things with Andrew?

Great. I mean I...

I never thought that

we could be friends.

And now I'm

totally over him.

Mmm.

Well, why don't we pick

a time to stop, and then

work towards that?

Okay.

I was thinking a month.

One more month?

Okay.

- Hey, the video store guy

asked me out again.

- He did?

I said no.

He's really ugly.

Oh, Freddie de Salvo and

Andy Frumpkin were ugly,

and that didn't stop ya.

- Hey. I was 13. I was ugly.

- Honey, you were never ugly.

You were hairy.

[Laughs]

Oh, I think you should do it.

Maybe he's nice.

Maybe he isn't, but

at least if he's ugly

you'll have the upper hand.
