with this man.
Don't move.
I don't want to stick you with this stuff.
I'm just gonna put this piece here.
Hold up!
You don't sense the pressure here?
This is very good for the pores.
- Come on, it's a total search!
- All right.
- Good.
- No.
Now pick this up.
Where's this lead to?
- A private apartment.
- Knock on the door.
Wait. I'll knock.
- June!
- Yeah, what is it?
Some people want to look around
your place. Something about a robbery.
I'm working! Can't you see I'm working?
I know. I'm sorry.
Excuse me.
Have you seen this guy?
Doesn't look so hard.
- Is there another way out of here?
- No. That's it.
All right, we're moving out! Come on.
We're sorry we disturbed you, lady,
but we were sure that...
Okay, let's boot it! Wasting time here.
- It's okay. They're gone.
- Great.
Okay, will you let me
out of this thing now?
No. You're safe like this.
They could still come back.
Look, lady, you've been great.
But can you let me out of here...
Listen, I'm involved in this, too, now.
I got to keep working on you.
They could still come back.
Lady, let me out of this thing now!
Do you hear me? Let me out...
Okay, that's it.
I just want to go upstairs
and check if they're still there.
Be right back.
Didn't I tell you, man? Check it out.
- Check it out.
- Man, this is junk.
What are you talking about?
This is antiques, man. This is old.
It's plastic. Let's call it a night.
We've got enough stuff already.
It's my sculpture!
- Be careful with it.
- All right.
Is it worth taking this thing?
Are you crazy, man? This is art.
Art sure is ugly, man.
Yeah, that's how much you know.
The uglier the art, the more it's worth.
- This must be worth a fortune.
- That's right.
- It's by that famous guy, Segal.
- Yeah?
You see him on the Carson Show.
Plays the banjo all the time.
I never watch Carson.
That's how much you know about art.
I don't know, man.
I'll take a stereo any day.
Yeah, what do you know, man?
A stereo's a stereo. Art is forever.
English- Okay, punch. Punch it in.
- Right.
Okay, let's, first of all,
refresh the screen here...
and go in a format ruler.
- There.
- All right.
- Now, file?
- Right.
- And it's in memory?
- Right.
And...
mark this down in the prefix file codes.
- Prefix code. Right.
- Okay.
Good. Yeah, you got it.
Another week, you'll have it down.
It's temporary anyway.
I said it's temporary anyway.
I do not intend to be stuck doing this
for the rest of my life.
- Don't tell Mr. Digman I said that, please.
- Okay.
Because what I really wanna do is
I'd really like to get into publishing.
There aren't any openings right now.
But what I would love to do
is create my own magazine...
which would be like a forum
for writers and intellectuals...
who can't get into print anywhere else.
I'm not into editing
or trying to reach a particular audience.
Getting it out there,
they would get some momentum going...
and do something with...
- With, you know...
- Excuse me, please.
I love that book.
- I love that book.
- Yeah.
I think Miller's really great.
"This is not a book.
This is a prolonged insult...
"a gob of spit in the face of Art...
"a kick in the pants
to truth, beauty, God... "
Something like that.
That's very good.
That's all I remember.
I've read this before.
I am just rereading it.
I don't reread books that often...
but this one's my favorite.
I like it better than Capricorn or Plexus...
or Sexus.
He used to kiss himself
after he ate a good meal.
It's mostly...
Let me ask you. Does that cashier
seem a little weird to you?
He keeps making
these strange movements.
God!
I think he's just waiting to be discovered.
Do you want another coffee?
No. I'm gonna head over
to my friend's house.
- Which way you headed?
- Downtown, SoHo.
Nice. A loft?
Yeah. She's a sculptress.
Lately, she's been making these
plaster-of-Paris bagels and cream cheese.
Really?
She's
