"The wedding lasted longer than the marriage." "But we still..." "We're still friends." "Sort of." "You?" "Friends?" "No." "I found out I was pregnant, I walked." "You walked?" "What do you mean?" "The guy didn't know about the kid?" "No." "He's out of the picture." "You know, sometimes when I think about... the people I got involved with, the choices I made, it's pretty amazing." "But I found something out." "There are very few mistakes that can't be corrected... if you got the guts." "If you got the guts." "Last call." "What are they, bombing us?" "Oh, hell."

"You goddamn son of a bitch!" "Easy, easy." "Don't you ever fucking put your hands on me!" "I got scared." "What are you doing with a starter's pistol?" "None of your business!" "Get off of me." "Listen." "Listen to me!" "I saw the gun sticking out of the purse." "I freaked, ok?" "It was a reflex." "Feel my heart." "Go ahead." "It's like a drum." "Feel it?" "I'll tell you some stories about scared sometime." "You don't know." "This city... what it does to people." "I can't apologize enough... for..." "I don't know." "I got this survival rush."

"It was too late to call you back." "Yeah, just a friend." "Ok, I'll be home..." "I'll be home when I get home." "Damn." "You're killing me." "Is that the sun?" "Are we still alive?" "I thought you were an insomniac." "I am." "I must have fainted." "What are you doing there?" "I can't make you out." "Helen, right?" "Uh-huh." "Come here." "What?" "I got to talk to you." "There's something I got to say." "You're kidding." "Are you kidding?" "I'll have to be airlifted to a standing position." "But you, you're something." "You go in the kitchen." "You made coffee." "What are you, Superman?" "Wonder Woman." "What do you wonder about?" "How we made it through last night in one piece." "Last night?" "Let me tell you about last night." "Let me tell you." "Uh-uh." "No." "Yes." "Cut it out." "I'm going home to my daughter." "Your daughter?" "She's with your mother, right?" "Mm-hmm." "Your mother live with you?" "She's helping us out for a couple of weeks." "I don't know about this." "What's it like working in a print shop?" "A print shop?" "Yeah." "Inky." "What's it like running a shoe store?" "It's ok." "But we don't live for our work, do we?" "No." "I like to think I live for love." "I mean, what else is there, food?" "You're something else." "No, you're something else." "You've no idea how many creeps are out there." "You're wired like no one I ever met, but you're a good man." "You never know." "I always know." "Or at least I find out." "What do you mean, creeps?" "Manipulators." "Liars." "Guys who wait till you're in deep... before you find out who they really are." "Then you're fighting for your life." "Creeps." "You asked." "You got any cigarettes?" "You smoke?" "Sometimes." "Does that bother you?" "What brand?" "I mooch." "I think I'm out." "Let's see here." "See any jump out at me?" "I got to go." "Huh?" "I got to go." "I like to be home when my daughter wakes up." "[Telephone Rings]" "[Ring]" "Hello." "Keller here." "She's still out there." "No prints match up." "So, uh..." "So should we dust your dick?" "You know, cover all bases?" "[Doorbell Buzzes]" "[Buzz]" "[Buzz]" "Would you finish that sale?" "Help you with something, sir?" "Yeah, you got this in a sneaker?" "I was in the neighborhood, so, you know," "I thought I'd come in." "Why are you whispering?" "I'm whispering?" "Yeah." "Sorry." "I just want to talk to you." "Ok." "Have a seat." "I'll be with you in a minute." "What did you want to talk to me about?" "Well..." "I was going to ask you about something." "About some of the people you've been seeing... over the past month or so." "You know... guys." "It's none of your business." "It is, in a way, my business." "Yeah, and how's that?" "Well... forget it." "It's stupid." "Forget it." "Look, I don't sleep around, if that's what you mean." "No, that's not it." "Why don't you come over to my house... tonight for dinner, and we'll talk." "Yo." "Lady." "I was in here... what..." "six months ago, and, uh... you had this beautiful boot." "It was Rivoli, Ravioli..." "something like that." "Rivoli." "We're out." "Try back in two weeks." "Look, can I help you or what, huh?" "What's your problem?" "Tommy, let's blow." "The guy's a cop." "Hey, hey... let's blow." "If I hit you," "I get nailed for assaulting an officer, right?" "You piece of shit." "Ok, what?" "You're a cop?" "Yeah." "So?" "What?" "Pretty bad, huh?" "It's just too much for you." "You let that scum in, but my being a cop is just too much." "Let me tell you something about this." "All these people in here, with their rocks and furs... they get robbed or raped," "I'm suddenly their daddy." "Come the wet-ass hour," "I'm everybody's daddy!" "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" "What do you mean?" "Don't try to turn this around on me." "You lied to me." "You looked like the plague." "Why did you say you were a printer?" "I always wanted to be a printer." "Talk to me." "For 20 years," "I go out with people, right?" "I tell them I'm a cop." "You know what happens?" "I'm a nonperson." "That's why I put the ad in." "Look, you ever keep something inside yourself?" "But you know you'll let it out." "I wanted us to know each other before I told you." "That's all I wanted." "I wanted to bring it along slowly." "So you're a cop, huh?" "I'm Frank." "Ok?" "I'm just Frank." "Don't lie to me again." "I don't like it." "Look at these." "They're so soft." "They feel like feet." "They're very subtle." "Wild, right?" "This girl, you know..." "My girl give them to me." "Got to wear them, right?" "Pretty jazzy." "You know, look at these things." "She works in a shoe store." "You never did get her prints." "She's not the shooter." "This we know..." "How?" "I asked her." "Golden Cadillac." "Screaming golden Cadillac." "What makes it scream?" "Getting attacked by a white Russian." "That's very clever." "Make that two." "Want yours screaming, too?" "You have very tight skin." "You know that?" "That's 'cause I'm fat." "It pushes it out like balloon rubber." "Did you get that order?" "See you." "I've seen eight women tonight." "I bet every one made more than me." "That blonde... she was a school principal." "How come none of these women are married?" "How come I'm not married?" "Gentlemen, anyone up for the Island of Lost Souls?" "No, not me tonight, kids." "What's the matter, Frank?" "I don't know." "I'm tired." "You tired?" "I'm going to walk home." "Talk to you tomorrow, kids." "All right, Frank." "Hey, how you doing?" "Did I wake you?" "Oh." "Listen, uh... is your daughter asleep?" "You think you can get somebody to watch her?" "Good." "Uh... what do you got on?" "Yeah." "No, no, take them off." "Oh!" "I was just, uh..." "Sea of Love." "What?" "You have Sea of Love." "I haven't looked in those boxes in years." "Why, do you like that record?" "Yeah, I like it." "I'm saving them for my daughter." "Probably worth a fortune by now." "They'd fall apart on the turntable." "You never play them, huh?" "I don't even know what's in there anymore." "You want something to drink?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "A lot of people keep records, huh?" "I should have kept mine." "I had thousands, thousands of them." "They'd be worth something now." "You better go home... before it gets light out." "Ok." "All right." "I want you to see something." "Oh, beautiful." "How would you know?" "You didn't even look at her." "What do you mean?" "I didn't want to wake her." "I wonder what kind of father you would make." "Me?" "I don't know." "You know... who wants a policeman for a father?" "She's got a father... doesn't she?" "She does have a father." "Know what I mean?" "Go home." "He's not dead." "You're divorced, right?" "Oh, yeah." "You mad at me?" "No." "Ok." "[Glass Shatters]" "Ok." "Ok." "Is your mother back?" "Could you stay with me tonight?" "Good." "I've got something important to discuss." "Ok?" "I'm taking you somewhere, so dress nice." "Waiter!" "Can I call you back?" "All right." "Ok." "Take care." "How are you doing?" "Something from the bar?" "I know you..." "That cop." "You're a police officer?" "Did you get fired?" "This is Gina." "What do you want?" "Shh!" "Shh!" "Shh!" "Just sit down." "It's ok." "This is Gina Gallagher." "Hi, Gina." "This is Detective Sherman Touhey." "She's good people." "Hi." "I'm gone." "I feel like Betty Fucking Crocker in this." "Jesus, it's only 8:00, and I'm hammered." "I'm staying here tonight." "If I leave, I'll die like a dog." "It would make a nice headline." "I'll call the wife, tell her I'll crash around here." "Go to the squad room." "There's this nice cozy army cot there." "I got extra keys." "I'm two blocks away." "We're sleeping together?" "I'm going to see this Helen later." "I got this hotel suite." "An ex-partner is security chief, so he owes me." "It'll be a nice surprise." "You see this guy" "This guy's in love with you" "I'm asking her to move in with me." "You just met her." "I feel like a fucking teenager." "[Strangers In The Night Plays]" "The guy says to me," ""Frank, retire."" "I said..." ""To what?"" "There's nothing out there... after this." "Could you get the waiter, please?" "Is there a waiter in this place?" "So, what's this important thing... you wanted to ask me?" "What?" "Oh." "[Clink Clink]" "Maybe you should slow it down, huh?" "Maybe the menu should come sometime this century." "What's the big question you wanted to ask?" "I don't know." "Waiter." "Waiter." "I feel like I got... the London Philharmonic up my ass." "Let's go." "Come on." "We just got here." "I know." "Let's get out of here." "Bad choice." "Ok." "Not my favorite place." "I love this neighborhood." "I figure the worst that could happen... is I'd trip over a Perrier bottle." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Could get worse, you know." "Nicely nice, this neighborhood, huh?" "Hold it." "Last year alone, we had three murders right in this block." "See that garage?" "One in there." "That building?" "Second floor." "One in there." "Two months later, third floor." "One in there." "This town's one big city of the dead... for you, huh?" "What do you say that for?" "I love life." "I'm just trying to..." "share with them." "When you live with a cop... tell you this." "There are certain things, you know, a cop's eyes." "What we see." "There's you, what you see, which is like nothing, and... our eyes, our life, what we see." "If you live with a cop..." "What?" "You said if you live with a cop." "You mean if I live with a cop." "Me." "Have you thought about this?" "I have a kid." "It's a whole family." "You get that, right?" "I want to ask you something." "The singles magazine." "I don't know, you know?" "I mean the dates." "How can you do that shit?" "I mean, you know, go out with guys like that." "How can you do that?" "You do it." "Did you forget how we met, Frank?" "What's that mean?" "I was on a job." "I was wearing a wire." "We were going to drop somebody." "I'd never do that for real." "The part about the wire." "You want to run that by me again?" "Let me just tell you..." "Fuck you!" "Wait a minute, now." "I was just..." "Listen." "I was just saying that..." "Here's the pitch." "The ball's hit to center field!" "What're you having, Frank?" "Double Dewars, Pete." "You got it." "Oh, I..." "Is..." "It's 1:00 in the morning." "I'm Frank." "I know who you are." "My mouth ain't working so good tonight, so, uh... all I can say... right now... is that... the circumstances... were the circumstances, and..." "No, that's not good enough." "Ok." "Ok." "The whole thing is horseshit." "Know what I mean?" "There was no wire." "There was no job, no nothing." "I was just... saying that... to push you away from me." "Because I was going to ask you to live with me." "And I got... scared, you know?" "I'm sorry." "You know... you never even told me... what your kid's name is." "Sarah." "Sarah." "I would like... for the three of us... you know... to go somewhere... movie or something." "Just... take it slow, you know?" "Helen..." "I can't even sleep in my own bed anymore... unless you're in it." "I mean," "I need you to lie down with me." "Otherwise, I'm just going to walk the streets all night." "Oh, I'm so tired." "You got to come lay down with me." "Helen..." "I got these shoes here." "See?" "Come back with me, please." "Let me go tell my mother." "Frank." "I didn't want to wake her up." "I need some time to think all this through." "I think I should be alone tonight." "Ok." "Ok." "Catch you later." "Sherman." "Frankie?" "Yeah." "Frank?" "I forgot you were here." "Scared the shit out of me." "I'll stay on the couch." "Weren't you going to a hotel?" "It didn't work out." "What's he doing here?" "Is this his place?" "I..." "Look, I'll go to the station house." "No." "I got to talk to you." "Frank, I never did nothing like this before." "That's ok." "No, listen." "I got to talk to you about this." "None of this was my idea." "Gina starts rubbing my leg under the table." "You threw the keys." "I told you not to." "Want to go get her?" "Want me to get her?" "I'm sorry, Sherman." "L..." "I'm sorry." " Thanks, Frank." " Take care." "[Footsteps Approaching]" ""Catch you later"?" "Huh?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "Is that some kind of brush-off, Frank?" "No, not at all." "No." "I got something for you." "Oh, yeah?" "What?" "Mmm mmm" "Mmm mmm" "You were looking at this like it rang some bells." "Mmm mmm" "Mmm mmm" "Bum bum bum bum" "Bum-bum bum-bum Bum-bum" "Please?" "Come with me" "Want to dance?" "Ok." "To the sea" "The sea of love" "Got something for me?" "I want to tell you" "You got something special for me tonight, huh?" "Uh-huh." "Real special." "What do you got, Mommy?" "Got something special for me, Mommy?" "Yeah, special." "What are you going to give me?" "Find it." "Where's it at?" "Find it." "Here?" "Hmm?" "Cut it out!" "I want to tell you" "Let's see what's here." "[Music Stops]" "What?" "Let's see." "Oh, what's this?" "What..." "You bring the fake one, huh?" "You forgot the real one?" "Want to try mine?" "Y-You're crazy." "Come on." "Let's get it over with." "I don't want to wait." "Do it now." "Bingo." "Put it away, please." "Want to fuck first?" "Get me face down?" "Put the gun away, ok?" "What kind of creep am I?" "The guy who fucks you once... and wants to own you, right?" "What about James Mackey?" "What kind of creep was he?" "That poor bastard in Queens?" "What's his name?" "Raymond Brown." "You fucked him good." "You've been following me around?" "Last chance." "How long you been following me?" "I haven't been following you." "How do you know about them?" "It's my job." "It's what I'm paid for." "I didn't sleep with those guys." "They were just dates." "Shut up!" "I slept with Mackey!" "Big deal!" "He didn't..." "I don't care!" "Why'd you do it, Helen?" "Tell me why you did it." "Tell me you did it." "Tell me why." "I want to know everything, all right?" "Come on." "Talk to me." "Look." "I'm wearing your shoes." "Talk to me." "Come on." "Talk to me." "Look." "The arresting officer was fucking the doer!" "See?" "It's a joke." "It won't go to trial even." "You understand?" "Talk to me." "Come on." "Come on!" "Helen." "Please." "Talk to me." "Get out." "Come on." "Go ahead." "Ok?" "[Door Slams]" "[Doorbell Buzzes]" "[Buzz]" "[Buzz Buzz]" "Helen?" "Aah!" "I know you!" "You fucking swinging dick!" "You got in deep, man!" "She throws a fucking court order at me!" "It's not your family!" "It's not your daughter!" "Oh!" "God!" "Don't!" "Don't!" "Don't!" "Go!" "On the bed!" "Get down on the bed, man." "Get down." "Did you have a good time with her last night?" "Who do you mean?" "Who?" "Who?" "You a fucking owl?" "I don't know who you're talking about." "I'm talking about my wife." "My wife Helen." "Remember her?" "Huh?" "I don't know." "Look," "I'm a New York City..." "Show me how you did it to her!" "I didn't." "Uh-huh!" "Uh-huh!" "You show me, and I'll let you go." "I didn't do anything." "Show me!" "Show me!" "We didn't do anything." "Ok." "Ok." "Ok." "Ok." "Yeah." "Yeah." "Ok." "This?" "You mean this?" " Ok?" " Fucking bastard!" "Get..." "Get your clothes off!" "Get your clothes off!" "Take your fucking..." "Aah!" "Aah!" "Don't fucking move!" "Put it down!" "Put it down!" "On the floor!" "On the floor!" "Hands behind the head!" "Move!" "Get them on there!" "Don't ever fucking move!" "Ok." "Ok." "What are you going to do," "lock me up and throw away the key?" "Shut the fuck up!" "It ain't going to work!" "It's not your wife!" "It..." "It's not your family!" "What are you doing?" "Aah!" "No!" "Aah!" "I hadn't seen him in about a year." "I thought he was gone for good." "Oh, yeah." "That's it." "That's the stuff." "This is on the house." "You don't want to get up." "Come here." "How you doing, sport?" "Good to see you." "I'm doing better than you." "What are you drinking, scotch?" "No." "A club soda and lime." "Club soda and lime." "Club soda and lime?" "What a cheap date." "Oh, it's the new me." "Here's to the new you... and the old me." "Mmm." "Mmm." "Rub it in, rub it in." "How you doing, Frank?" "Hanging in, hanging out." "I'm with the 1-9 now." "Yeah?" "You?" "Same old." "That was a hard job to top." "I hear that." "Wildest ride I was ever on." "You know, I, uh, followed up that nutbag." "The husband Terry?" "Turns out he'd been shadowing her for eight months." "Can you believe it?" "Jesus." "Man." "She always had that edge, you know?" "Like she smelled him, sensed him, or something." "I must have sensed him, too." "Wonder what she saw in him." "I don't know." "What does anybody see in anybody?" "People are work, brother." "A lot of work." "Too much work." "Ever see her again?" "Well, I tried, but... she didn't want to." "Can you blame her?" "I'm in bed with her, making love..." "I'm out of bed, I'm stalking her, like... she had that nutcase over one shoulder, me over the other." "Come on." "Can you blame her?" "Yeah, right." "I'm going to let her go." "I ran her through a wringer, man." "You know?" "Hey, what am I supposed to do?" "She'd tear my head off." "What are you looking at?" "How you doing?" "Just great." "Good." "How's, uh..." "How's your daughter?" "She's fine." "Oh, good, good." "I'm working out of the 1-9 now." "That's this area here." "We had a series of break-ins around here." "You've been ok?" "Your shop's wired to the precinct?" "Yep." "Yeah." "Well, uh... listen, the reason I come by... is I, uh..." "I wanted you to meet somebody." "Oh?" "Who, Frank?" "Well, actually," "I'd very much like to introduce myself to you." "Yeah?" "Who are you this week, a fighter pilot?" "Fighter pilot?" "No." "No more surprises." "No more..." "lies." "I'm..." "I'm all here." "Right." "The circumstances are no longer the circumstances, huh?" "I hung fire to be with you through that." "Yeah, sure." "You got to give me a chance." "You never really got to know me." "Not 100%." "The person you got involved with, that was half of me." "You owe it to yourself." "Check out the complete person." "Cut the crap, ok?" "I had a rough day." "What'll I do, follow you all over the city?" "How do I get over with you now?" "Get over with me?" "After what you did, you're looking to get over with me?" "It couldn't be helped." "I couldn't help that." "It's killing me not seeing you." "It's killing me." "How do you think it makes me feel?" "I don't know." "How do you..." "How's it make you feel?" "It doesn't make any difference." "I'm moving back home anyway." "Back to York?" "That's fantastic." "Because just this morning," "I got offered a job in York, Pennsylvania." "Police department." "They want me to head this huge, uh..." "Break up this huge counterfeit produce ring." "Hey, listen!" "This is fantastic, you know?" "Look." "Look, tell you what." "What?" "I'll take the job now." "All right?" "You could help me out there." "Do you know any nice apartments, houses, stuff that I could, uh..." "Ok, enough, Frank." "Enough." "No, really!" "When are you going?" "You're not going?" "You're staying here, right?" "I've been on the wagon... for seven weeks now." "You still drink coffee?" "Oh!" "Like it's going out of style." "I'll buy you a cup... if you like." "Come with me" "To the sea" "Oh, yeah" "Oh, do you remember the night we met" "Ooh, that's the night" "I just knew you were my pet" "I wanna tell you how much I love you" "Oh, I'm down here on the sea of love" "Oh, come with me" "To the sea" "Oh, yeah" "Oh, do you remember the night we met" "Ooh, that was when" "I just knew you were my pet" "I wanna tell you how much I love you" "Down on the sea of love" "Come with me" "To the sea" "Oh, yeah" "Do you remember the night we met" "That's the night" "I just knew you were my pet" "I wanna tell you how much I love you" "Down there in the sea of love" "Oh, come with me" "To the sea" "Oh, yeah" "Come with me" "My love" "To the sea" "The sea of love" "I wanna tell you how much I love you" "I'm down here in the sea of love" "Oh, come with me" "To the sea" "Oh, yeah" "Do you remember the night we met" "That's the night" "I just knew you were my pet" "I wanna tell you how much I love you" "Oh, I'm down in the sea of love" "Oh, come with me" "To the sea" "Oh, yeah" "Do you remember the night we met" "That's the night" "I just knew you were my pet" "I wanna tell you how much I love you"
