Mmm, Delicious.
That's My Second Favorite Treat.
Really?
Yeah.
Well, Well, Well.
The Lovebirds Are At It Again.
Rudy, Get Out.
It's A Free World And A Free Kitchen.
Come On, Theo.
Let Her Stay.
Yeah, Theo.
Can't You Control Yourself
For One Minute?
All Right, You Can Stay.
Just Cool Out.
Okay.
What's That I Smell?
We're Making Chocolate Mousse.
No, It's Not The Mousse.
( Sniffing )
I Smell Dad's Cologne.
Any Left In The Bottle?
I Think Theo Smells Very Nice.
Thank You, Justine.
Ow!
Justine, He Hit Me.
Stop Tormenting Your Sister.
I'm Not Doing Anything.
I Have A Big Brother.
They Can Be A Pain.
You Said It.
Need Some Help?
I'd Be Delighted.
Excuse Us.
Excuse Me.
You Guys Aren't Serious.
Yes, We Are.
I Can't Believe This.
Try Being Alone With My Girlfriend
Look What I Got To Put Up With.
Try And Have Some Privacy
Rudy's Got To Come In And Mess Up Things.
We Never Get To Be Alone.
There Are People Wherever We Go.
A Half-Full Subway Car
Is The Most Alone We Get.
If You're Looking For Any Sympathy From Me
You're Looking At The Wrong Person.
You're Looking At A Man Who Has Been Alone
Approximately 1h Hours Since 1963.
If You Want To Be Alone With Justine
I Would Suggest That You Get A Job, Buy A House
Get Married And Have No Children.
Justine...
Hey, Dolores
You're Up And About.
Going Somewhere?
No.
I Can't Waitress The Reception Today.
It Pays $75 Plus Tips.
You Want It?
I Can't.
Theo And I Are Going Out.
Go Ahead If You Want To.
You Don't Mind?
Absolutely Not.
Thank You.
That's How A Couple Should Be.
Understanding, Flexible And All Over Each Other.
I'll Call You Later.
Bye, Theo.
Thanks, Dolores.
What Were You Two Going To Do?
Go To A Movie Called The Death Sonata.
Bjorn Lundstrom.
He's My Favorite Director.
The Last Two Hours Of The Movie The Screen Is Black.
All You Hear Is Water Dripping.
It's Deep.
Give It Back.
You Think You Can Get Away With That?
Give Me My Chocolate.
Do You Hear Me?
Drop It Now.
Sometimes, If You Just
Hold This Button A Little Longer...
There You Go.
What Did You Do That For?
Isn't This What You Wanted?
Chomping Down Calories
Is Supposed To Make Me Feel Better?
No, This Makes Me Feel Better.
I Wish This Was Randy Henley.
I Know Randy.
He's A Theater Major, Right?
He's Also My Acting Partner
With Whom I'll Be Going Down The Tubes Tomorrow
In Scene Class Because He Can't Rehearse.
That's Too Bad.
You're Not A Theater Major, Are You?
No, Why?
You Could Help Me Run Lines.
Run Them Where?
Read Them With Me.
Run Through The Scene.
I'm Not Doing Anything.
Super, Let's Do It.
We'll Have To Share This Script.
I'm Joan Of Arc.
You're The Third Inquisitor.
We'll Start Here.
You Want Me To Deny Who I Am
What I Have Been Chosen To Do.
What I Speak Is The Truth.
It Is All I Have Left, And If Truth
Shall Be My Companion In The Flames, So Be It.
Stop Your Lies, You Foolish Girl.
Hold On.
I Give You All Of That
And You Come Back With
"Stop Your Lies, You Foolish Girl."
Weren't You Listening To Me?
I Was Waiting For My Part.
You Have To Listen To Me, Then Feel What You're Saying.
Again.
And If Truth
Shall Be My Companion In The Flames, So Be It.
Stop Your Lies!
You Foolish Girl.
You're Useless, Hopeless.
You're Wasting My Time.
I'm Wasting Your Time?
I'm Trying To Help You Out.
You Asked Me To Run Lines And I Do It And It's Wrong.
Now That's Perfect.
What?
You're Frustrated.
Draw From That.
I'll Give You Your Cue.
And If Truth
Shall Be My Companion In The Flames, So Be It.
Stop Your Lies...
You Foolish Girl.
Better, Much Better.
Thank You.
I Am Afraid.
I'm Afraid Of The Heat.
I'm Afraid Of The Fire.
I'm Afraid Of Screaming Out.
I'm Afraid Of Being Alone.
Wow.
You Sound So Real.
That Didn't Sound Anything Like Acting.
Really?
It Sounded Like It Was Happening.
The Flame, The Heat...
It Did?
I Felt Like...
I Don't Know.
Tell Me, Tell Me.
Like Grabbing A Fire Extinguisher.
Or Grabbing You, Saving You.
You Should Have.
Should Have What?
Grabbed Me, Touched Me.
If That's What You Feel
Go For It.
That's What It's About.
Acting Is Your Instincts.
I Should Sign Up For This Course.
I Got A Lot Of Instincts.
Want To Keep Going?
Yeah.
Your Line.
You Pretend To Be More Than Human
But You Aren't.
No One Is.
I Pretend To Be Nothing
But What I Am.
Am I To Be Punished For That?
Your Line.
There's No More To Be Said.
Theo!
Justine!
We Were Acting.
We're Rehearsing Joan Of Arc.
She's About To Get Burned.
I Was Helping Jade Run Lines.
Theo Has Great Instincts.
I Know All About Theo's Instincts.
Justine...
Do We Have To Get All Tensed Out?
I Know What's Coming.
Some Big Emotional Scene.
Screaming, Crying...
Why Don't You Just Get It Over With?
Honey, This Is Not A Play.
This Is Real Life, And You Can Get Out.
Call Me If You Need Me.
Or My Cane.
You Couldn't Even Sneak Off Somewhere.
She Was Getting Me To Show My Emotions
Which I Think Is Very Valuable.
I Do, Because The Thing Is...
It Helps Us, Too.
Is Our Relationship In So Much Trouble
You Have To Go And Practice With Somebody Else?
How Could You Do It, Theo?
How Could You Do This To Me
In Front Of Everybody In The Whole World?
Justine, I Didn't Mean To Hurt You.
Can We Go Someplace And Talk About This?
I Don't Think So.
Wait, Justine.
It Was Nothing.
It Meant Nothing To Me.
Neither Do I.
Justine, It's Me, Theo.
Please Don't Hang Up.
( Dial Tone )
I Could Kill Him!
Who Does He Think He Is?!
Please Keep It Down.
I Need Some Quiet Right Now.
I Will Not Keep It Down.
Do Have Any Idea What Happened To Me?
I Stayed Late At School
Because I Had A Science Club Meeting
So I Took A Shortcut Home.
Right There On Flatbush Avenue
Sitting On A Bench With His Arm Around Kyle Stevens
Was My Boyfriend.
Excuse Me, Ex-Boyfriend.
Jeremy "The Rat Nose" Wilson.
He Was?
I Went Up To Him And Said, "What Are You Doing?"
He Said, "I Was Sitting Here With My Arm On The Bench
And She Sat Down Next To Me."
Can You Believe That?
Right There In Public
With His Hands All Over Some Other Girl.
Would You Do That To Someone You Cared About?
Why Would He Do That, Theo?
Why?
I Don't Know, Vanessa.
But Just Because He Had His Arm Around Another Girl
Doesn't Mean He Doesn't Care About You.
You Should Give Him Another Chance.
That Is The Same Garbage He Was Trying To Lay On Me.
Do All Guys Read From The Same Book Of Bull?
Jeremy Is History!
Do You Know The Sacrifices
I've Made For This Guy?
What If He Came To You
And He Confessed That He Made A Terrible, Terrible Mistake?
I'd Show Him The Door.
What If He Said He Was Really, Really Sorry
And You Saw He Was In A Whole Lot Of Pain?
If I See Him Again, He Will Know What Pain Is.
Well, Big Paper Due, Huh?
Hey, Dad.
I Decided To Come Down Here So Mom Wouldn't Hear The Typing.
That's The Kind Of Thing I Love To See
My Son Burning The Midnight Oil.
I'm Writing A Poem To Justine.
Oh.
Oh, Man.
Dad... I Messed Up.
Sorry.
Justine Saw Me Kind Of Kissing Another Girl
In Her Dormitory Lounge.
It Wasn't A Real Kiss.
It Was An Accident.
One Of Those Things That Just Happen.
You Were Kind Of Kissing?
Yeah, It Was An Accident.
You're Talking To Me.
There Was This Theater Major.
Her Name Is Jade.
She Was Over By The Candy Machine.
That's When You Tripped And Your Lips Fell On Her Face?
One Minute I'm Helping Her Rehearse The Play.
The Next Thing I Know, We're Kissing.
That's When Justine Walked In.
That Reminds Me Of A Story.
Oh, Boy.
Reminds Me Of A Story When I Was Dating Your Mother.
We Were Going Very, Very Steady.
And, Ah, You See, The Neighbors--
I Had A Job--
And I Would Walk Their Dogs.
They Had This One Dog Named Abe.
A Little Dog.
Had A Beard.
That's Why They Called Him Abe.
And A Squirrel Came By...
Boom... Abe Takes Off, Leash Come Out Of My Hand.
I Chase Abe, Abe's Chasing The Squirrel.
I'm Going Through The Bushes, "Abe, Come Back!"
I Lost Abe.
So I Came Along Back Home Very, Very Depressed.
And On The Porch...
Almost Smiling, Was Abe.
What... In The World... Does That Have To Do With Me?
I Didn't Lose My Dog.
I Lost My Woman.
Which Brings Me To The Point.
That Had I Not Found Abe
Your Mother Would Have Been Upset With Me
Because Your Mother Loved To Play With Abe.
Thanks, Dad.
I'm Going To Go Back To My Poem.
I Don't Think You Want To Write Poems.
Poems Is Not The Way You're Going To Get Your Woman Back.
What You Need To Do Now
Is Go To The Next Level If You Want Justine Back.
What's That?
Begging.
You Need To Do
Some Serious Begging.
I Mean Other Than The Begging You've Been Doing.
Where Using, "Justine, I'm Sorry."
"It Wasn't Me You Saw."
You Know, That Kind Of Thing.
You Need To Do Some Serious, Get Down Underneath
Please, Please
Please...
Then You Can Go To The Next Level.
Which Is...
Just A Second.
I'll Show You What I Mean.
This Is The Ultimate Level.
This One.
There You Go.
Pay Attention To What I'm Saying.
This Is The Level You Want.
( Honky Tonk Blues Music )
( Music Stops )
That's What You Want.
The Blues.
Begging Level, My Son.

This Should Be Good.
You Wouldn't Talk On The Phone
So I Had To Come Over.
What, Do You Need More Acting Lessons?
No, Delores.
Should I Leave?
No.
Good.
Can I Just See You Alone?
I Don't Want To See You.
Then Take This Poem.
Read It Later.
I'm Not Interested.
Then I'll Read It.
"What's A Hug
"To Someone Who's Alone?
"What's A Call That Doesn't Reach The Phone?
"What's A Mystery Book Without A Plot?
"What's A Chili Dog Without The Hot?"
"They're Not.
"They're Nothing.
And That's Just What I've Got."
That's Right.
Justine...
Please, Please Take Me Back.
Please, I'll Do Anything.
Punish Me, Just Take Me Back.
Delores.
You Can't Let This Happen.
We Can Work This Out If Justine Would Just Listen.
She'll Listen To You.
I Can't Get Involved In This.
Look At The Pain I'm In.
If You Could Just Get Her
To Give Me One Minute Alone
That's All I Ask.
Please Help Me.
Do I Have To Beg For You, Too?
Don't Be Doing That For Me.
I'll Ask Her.
Okay, Thanks.
Well?
What Did She Say?
She Said To Get Rid Of You.
She Doesn't Want To See You Anymore.
And It's Over.
You Got To Go Back And Talk To Her.
Can't You See I'm In Pain?
You're The One In Pain?
I'm The One In Pain.
I'm The One With The Bad Foot.
I'm Out Of Here.
Hi There.
Hi.
How Did Things Go With Justine?
Not Too Well.
I Want You To Know
What Happened Between Me And You Didn't Mean Anything.
You Think It Meant Something To Me?
You Kissed Me.
You Mean That Didn't Mean Anything?
That's Acting.
Well, It's Over.
Whatever You Say.
I'm Late For Class.
I Got To Go.
Bye, Jade. Bye, Leo.
