better off.
You know, I don't know what the
circumstances were, but sometimes...
You know, I don't... It's not even...
It's not my business.
- Maybe you should come over, Paul.
- What?
- Maybe you should come on over.
- Sure. Sure. Now?
Yeah. Why not?
Where to?
I'm at 28 Howard Street.
Near the corner of Crosby. 
It's in SoHo. 
- The name on the buzzer is Franklin.
- Not Bridges?
Bridges is crossed out. 
Just press the buzzer. 
Okay. About 45 minutes?
- Yeah, great. I'll see you later.
- All right.
- Paul?
- Yes.
I'm really glad you called. 
Me too. Me too.
Okay. I'll see you later.
- Bye.
- Bye.
- I've only got a 20. Can you break it?
MAN: Yeah, sure. No problem.
No hurry.

PAUL:
Oh, shit!
Excuse me, I just...
Damn! Oh, my God!
Excuse me.
My money flew out the window.
DRIVER:
Okay, that'll be 6.50.
PAUL: Listen, my money
just flew out the window.
I put it in this cradle...
...and you went so fast around
that corner that I don't have any...
What I'm saying is, I don't have
any money. I'm really sorry.
Look, let me show you something.
Look, that was... I had $20.
And now I don't have any more.
I'm really sorry.
Franklin. Franklin.
Franklin.
Franklin.
- Are you Paul?
- Yeah.
Here, catch.

PAUL: Hi.
KIKl: Hi.
- Your keys.
- You can just put them on the table.
PAUL:
I like that.
- Do you?
- Yeah. Very much.
It reminds me of that
Edvard Munch painting.
What's it, The Shriek?
- The Scream.
- The Scream. Right.
Yeah.
Sort of like a three-dimensional version
of that painting.
Is Marcy here?
She had to go out
to the all-night drugstore.
- Is she all right?
- It's under control.
PAUL:
This place is huge.
Do you share it with anyone?
KIKl: Hey, would you like to
work on this for a while?
- I could use a break.
- What?
It's not hard.
What are you talking about?
This is yours.
- How would I know what you want?
- Look, it's real easy.
Just take some of this stuff
and slap it on like this.
[PHONE RINGING]
KIKl:
All right, I'm coming.
Yeah?
Of course he's here.
You invited him.
That's your problem, Marcy.
I'm not gonna tell him.
I'm not telling him.
I can't talk any louder.
All right, hurry up.
- How's it going?
- It's great.
I'm just giving him a shoulder.
Look what you did to your shirt.
Oh, good.
- Give it to me, I'll throw it in the wash.
- No, that's all right.
It'll only take 20 minutes.
That's okay.
Come on.
You wanna look nice
for your big date, don't you?
All right.
- Twenty minutes, huh?
- Uh-huh.
- Put this on while you're waiting.
- Thanks.
You do that all day
and your own shoulders get pretty sore.
Want a massage?
- You read my mind. Would you?
- Sure.
I'm not too good at this.
Just know a few basic moves.
Just make it hurt
and you're on the right track.
That's all I know.
Okay.
- You have a great body.
- Yes.
Not a lot of scars.
That's true.
Never occurred to me.
I mean, some women I know
are covered with them head to toe.
Not me.
- Scars?
- Uh-huh.
Horrible, ugly scars.
I'm just telling you, now.
I don't know.
I know, when I was a kid...
...I had to have my tonsils taken out.
And after the operation...
...they didn't have enough room
in Pediatrics.
So they had to put me
in the burn ward.
But before they wheeled me in...
...this nurse gave me...
...this blindfold to put on...
...and she told me never to take it off.
If I did...
...they'd have to do the operation
all over again.
I didn't understand what my tonsils
had to do with my eyes either.
But anyway...
...that night...
...at least I think it was night...
...I had reached up...
...to untie the blindfold...
...and...
...I saw...

Hello again.
- Sorry about this. I was detained.
