When Will I Be Loved Page #7

Sunday at 9.:
00 at Elaine's.

What're you banking?

We'll talk about it tomorrow.

- Okay.

- Okay, bye.

I don't feel like kissing you right now.

Are you sure that there are no details

that you forgot to mention...

about what happened

between you and Lupo?

Nothing you want to add or subtract?

There is nothing I want to add

or subtract, no.

Now you say that this guy...

after you allow him

to do certain things with you...

refused to show

any financial appreciation.

And you say you gave my girlfriend...

$1 million in cash.

Am I right so far?

You are right in saying

I gave a gift to Vera.

As I made clear to her...

it had nothing to do with anything else

that happened between us.

It was a gift.

Purely by an act

of appreciation and love.

- Well?

- Well, what?

What do you have to say

to what he just said?

He's lying.

- Why are you doing this?

- Doing what?

Standing up for my rights?

Refusing to play the fool?

I think the best thing for everybody,

under the circumstances...

is for you to pay her $100,000,

or better yet...

to pay me as her designated agent...

the $100,000 you owe her,

and then get out of our lives for good.

I gave Vera $1 million.

I'm not giving her another cent, which

is the way she said she wanted it.

You told me you felt certain things

with me, and for me.

That we had an understanding

we'd see each other again...

and that we would give each other

pleasure and go on. Privately.

That sounds just like me, doesn't it?

Believable dialogue coming from me.

"The sexual pleasure we gave to one

another, a private understanding."

I'd love to hear that in a court of law.

I'm sure many people would believe it.

I might as well just stand next to you

there. We'd make a perfect couple.

You can say anything you like now.

You could do what you like.

But nothing can change

what happened between us last night.

I think this little escapade

has gone on long enough.

I am sorry that it had to come to this.

I was ready to look to you

as my mentor.

I was ready to do jobs for you,

to deliver for you, to share with you...

to bring a little youth and fun and light

into your life...

in exchange for few simple favors...

and some cash

that you can readily afford.

But you turned out to be

exactly what Vera said, a fraud.

And I have no respect

for you anymore...

and I want

my f***ing $100,000 dollars now!

Lupo!

Lupo, can you hear me?

F***!

Lupo, wake up!

Sh*t!

Yes, I'm calling

from 55, Niagara Street, Apt. 13.

I need to report a homicide.

Homicide?

- It was an accident.

- My boyfriend killed someone.

It wasn't a homicide!

Hello.

The Count is a major figure in Italy.

This is f***ing crazy.

Why am I in handcuffs right now?

It was an accident.

An old guy fell down. That's it.

Ask Vera. Ask her. It was an accident.

I'm innocent. He fell.

Death by a blunt trauma to the head.

He died instantly.

It was an accident. He fell.

He hit his head on the thing.

You got anything else?

I got a witness, girlfriend.

Said she saw him do it.

Saw me do it? It was an accident.

He was an old guy who fell!

I'm innocent. This is crazy.

She's in a state of shock.

She doesn't know what she's saying.

Looks like you got it under control.

- I do.

- Good work.

This is crazy. He fell and hit his head.

Why am I in handcuffs?

Why am I arrested?

I was here when she called 911.

If I were a killer,

why would I still be here?

I stayed to clear my name.

It was an accident.

That's not what she said.

Anything she says otherwise

is because she's in a shock.

Look at her.

She doesn't know what she's doing.

He tripped. He fell. He hit his head.

There was no violence.

It was a totally natural,

legitimate death.

Detective, look,

I can see by looking at you...

that you know your job,

know what you're doing.

Do I look like a killer to you?

Nothing you say can help you now.

We're going to take you downtown.

Get an attorney, you talk to him.

That's it.

This is crazy, I'm in handcuffs.

You're taking me downtown.

All I'm saying is...

I was here when she dialed 911.

If I had killed him,

why would I be here?

I stayed so I could clear my name.

I could be on my way

to Canada right now. This is nuts.

I've never hurt anybody in my life.

I have no record at all. I'm a hustler.

- Let's go.

- Maybe a little harmless hustler.

I've never been arrested in my life.

You have now, pal.

This is crazy! Vera, tell them! Don't let

them do this to me! This is nuts!

I'm innocent! Vera! I'm innocent!

I didn't do anything!

Vera, tell them!

Hi, Mom.

Not good, actually.

Yeah. Is Dad there?

I am going to come over

and talk to you guys, okay?

No.

No, I'm going to take a shower

and get myself together.

I would rather tell you

when I get there. All right?

Okay.

I love you, too.
