Loaded.
Open.
Close.
This her?
This Miss Weyderhaus?
She looks partially attractive.
I mean, I can only see part of her face...
...but I guess she plays pretty good?
She's making debut
with Boston Symphony last night.
Is that where the family is?
How is she in bed?
I said, "How is she in bed?"
- That is none of your business.
- No good?
This may be hard for you to understand
but our relationship is not based on that.
What's it based on?
A mutual appreciation of certain things:
The Arts, literature.
- She doesn't even want to?
- Music is her whole life.
Where you going to honeymoon,
Sam Goody's?
I don't want to talk about it.
They are very fine people,
the Weyderhauses.
They have a very sincere
and old-fashioned moral outlook.
- I know the type.
- I don't think you do.
- You're not normal.
- Just what do you mean by that?
Look. Ninety-four. You gotta go to bed.
My body hates me.
Come on. In you go.
- What are you going to do?
- Light a fire.
What happens if my temperature
keeps going down?
Don't worry, I'll get an ice pick.
Eggs.
- What?
- What does it mean?
What does what mean?
What did you think about
when he was rolling the eggs?
I thought about the $50 I was going to get.
Same thing I thought about
when I did that coffin bit.
What...
...I am horrified to ask, is the "coffin bit"?
See, I walk into this room
and turn the lights on...
...and there's this guy lying in a coffin,
you know.
Hands folded, face all made up,
total corpse time, see?
I walk over, he opens his eyes
and he says, "Good evening"...
...and I let out a scream and...
...that's it.
$50.
There's this other guy that wants me
to wrap him in cellophane and crinkle him.
Then there's one
that likes me to watch him through...
...a keyhole while he eats a cucumber.
Then there's this guy
who takes Polaroids...
...while I'm lying on a table, and this
parakeet is walking around on my back.
Doris...
...you're a sexual Disneyland.
It takes all kinds.
- I'm going to LA.
- What?
I'm going to California.
Why?
I haven't been doing too good here,
you know.
That's where actresses should go,
'cause that's where all the work is.
Just like you gotta stay here
'cause you're a writer.
- What's that got to do with staying here?
- The city is what you write about, isn't it?
Like in your story Scream?
I remember how much you liked it.
No, I've been thinking about it.
I didn't get it at first, you know.
Like about the sun spitting morning.
But I can really see it now.
- You can?
- Yeah. Sure.
You see, the sun, like a big face...
...here it comes, here it comes...
...very slow...
...over the edge of the world...
...and it looks out...
...over the city and it goes...
See what I mean?
What'd you do that for?
I'm not sure.
Would you mind doing it again?
I wasn't ready the first time.
It doesn't buckle, it snaps.
Felix...
...maybe you should take it easy.
Get your temperature up.
It's going up.
- I can feel it.
- But you're exhausted, remember?
Parts of me are wide awake.
This could be very dangerous.
A person as sick as you.
I'm going to stop any minute.
You do and I'll kill you.
Do you think she's pretty?
Miss Weyderhaus, the concert pianist.
- Does she have a nice body?
- She's very delicate.
Oh, yeah?
Well, she's extremely fragile.
She got a sticker on her
that says, "This end up"?
Not funny.
You think I'm pretty?
Yes.
I'm not really. I just make you think I am.
How do you do that?
It's a trick. It's hard to explain.
I don't understand.
It's kind of like acting, you know.
I mean, you gotta act pretty.
I'll show you what I mean. Watch this.
Now I look pretty, right?
Right.
Now watch this.
That's amazing.
It's two completely different girls.
- You're putting me on.
- No, I'm not. It's fantastic.
- You're putting me on.
- No, I'm not. It's fantastic.
What are you doing?
I'm going to make you feel good.
I know what that is.
- It will put you in a
