Boy, I don't feel well. "ve always been

kind of motion sickness-y.

Once, this carnival

came to Fraziers Bottom,

and they had that ride

where it spins around

and you have to stand against the side

and the center falls out.

- And l...

- Damn it.

- Pardon me.

Ahh!

This is just so far from the way

I imagined the evening going.

lt's perfectly all right.

Right, Mickey?

- Perfectly all right.

- Shall we?

Have a nice dinner.

I'll just be out here scrubbing.

Hey, Steve.

- Good to see you, Mr. Hamilton.

- Good to see you, Larry.

- Hey, man, how are you?

- What's up?

Hey.

This way.

Doesn't it hurt,

smiling like that all the time?

You get used to it.

- Should I do it?

- Yeah.

You might not be able

to hold it long, but go for it.

Sure I will.

See that?

It sort of gets you right there.

- That's horrible.

- I told you.

- You sure do have a lot of stuff.

- Yeah, sorry.

I'm never out of touch

with the people who torment me.

Who are they?

Agents, managers, people like that.

This man, Jimmy lng, who's

making this movie I´m exactly right for

but, for whatever reason,

he's taking a breath.

- A what?

- He's thinking it over.

lt's just all very competitive,

this business, that's all.

Everybody seems to be

chasing the same thing.

The same parts in the same movies,

the same awards, the same big money.

Well, I´m sure you have too much common

sense to get caught up in all that.

I mean, it's just a recipe

for an unsatisfying life.

Obviously you have

your priorities straight, so...

- So, Rosalee, what do you do?

- I work in a Piggly Wiggly.

- I´m sorry?

- A supermarket.

- I bag and check.

- Cool.

Yeah. lt's a real dream come true.

But it's fun.

My two best friends work there.

So, what do you do, Tad?

Oops.

What I mean is, what do you do

when you're not doing what you do?

Not a lot, you know.

There's not a lot of time

left for hobbies, really.

And I don't really like watching sports,

so I read.

Play with my dog,

my cat, my bird, you know.

l... I love animals, you know?

What do you think

they're doing right now?

I bet they're in her hotel room,

straining for breath.

His manhood yearning to be free.

Her hands running over

the ripples in his abdomen.

Her perfect bosom crying out in ecstasy.

Great.

All righty.

- I had one of those.

- A retainer?

Yeah, on the lowers

and a night brace for the uppers.

I had really bad teeth as a kid.

Yeah, I´m sure

you were a real ugly duckling.

I was like anybody else.

A little gawky, unsure who I was.

Combination skin.

- Well, you came together nicely.

- Thank you.

So did you.

- Bon appetit!

- Umm-hmm!

Thanks, Mickey.

Oh, wow. This is beautiful.

These people sure leave

a lot of lights on.

lt's beautiful.

It is.

And you, if I may say so,

are also very beautiful.

How would you like to come back

to my house for a little bit?

Sure. For a little bit.

- Shake-a-doo?

- No, shake-a-doo.

Good.

Miss Ramirez.

Sonja.

Anybody in the casa?

I think we're all alone.

Oh!

Do you want to come in a little further?

Um, you know what, Tad, thank you, but

I think I should get back to the hotel.

Wow.

OK.

I don't want the concierge

to worry, you know.

Good for you. Good for you.

I'll take you home.

You don't have to do that.

You're already here.

No, it would be my pleasure.

OK, thanks.

That's really nice.

Rosalee, it's been

wonderful to meet you.

I wish you only good things in life.

And to me, wonderfulness, too.

And to you,

only the self same good wishes.

- You know what I´m saying?

- Yeah, of course.

- Thanks for the best night of my life.

- No, thank you.

May I give you a kiss goodbye?

I think you might maybe may.

- Good evening.

- Thank you.

Good night, Rosalee.

Sweet dreams.

God!

The limo door swung open.

My foot hit the ground

and I turned to take

one last look at Tad.

At those eyes, at that smile.

And then, regretfully,

I headed back for the hotel.

- Please tell me we're done now.
