"Could I come by?" "There's something I need to talk to you about." "Here?" "The place is very grey gardens at the moment." " I've been writing." " Oh, it doesn't matter." "I'll be right over." "How's Ray?" "He's, um..." "Making the best of it." " Let's take a break." " Okay." "I want to take a picture." "Red hook is so weird and beautiful." "Okay." "I could've been somebody." "What?" "You are somebody." "You created Super Ray." "No, it's marlon Brando." "It's a little lesser known line." ""On the waterfront" was set in red hook." "Cool." "I didn't know that." "I like Brando." "I wish he wasn't dead." "Kiss?" " What are you doing now?" " Oh, I'm tweeting our photo." "None of my friends believe I'm dating you." "Tweeting?" "So cute." "Yo, are those ears real?" "Of course they are." " What, is it Christmas?" " What's it to you, gaylord?" "Yo, nothing, man." "Elves are cool." "You are the sexiest guy I have ever met." "I know." "So here's a picture of little Ray." "We got him from a rescue shelter." "I'll need this for my investigation." "Why'd you name him little Ray?" "The girls said that he and Ray have the same eyes." "I guess I can see that..." "a certain sadness." "So tell me again what happened from the beginning." "As a Detective I need all the details." "Also I'm a little stoned." "Okay." "So I tied him up outside the pharmacy just for a second and when I came out he was gone." " Oh my God." " So when I got home the phone rings and this man says, "I have little Ray."" "'Cause my number was on his dog collar." "I was like, "oh my God, thank you."" "Then he says all cold, "how much for him?"" "Ransom for a dog." "I know this world is insane, but still..." "So I blurted out stupidly "40 bucks"" "and he hung up and he hasn't called back." "The girls are heartbroken, crying every night." "It's okay." "I'll find him." "I don't want your girls to be upset." "They've already lost one Ray." "They shouldn't lose two." "I'm sorry." "I'm so sorry." " I-I..." "I'm stoned and tipsy." " I'm also tipsy." "Oh..." "Jonathan, I can't believe that almost happened." "We only leaned." "A lean means nothing." "I do it naturally all the time." "I have bad posture from depression." "I just... you're right, you're right." "It was only a lean." "But you know, I should go." " Oh, I feel guilty." " Me too, me too." "But we were just projecting our love for Ray onto each other." "Right." "So you'll try to find little Ray?" "Of course." "But, leah, should we actually kiss so that our guilt doesn't go to waste?" " I've always thought you were very beautiful." " Jonathan!" "It's Ray!" "Do you think he knows?" "Is that..." "Jonathan, don't be paranoid." "Let's just pretend like nothing happened, which will be easy, because nothing did happen." "Well, I'm sorry about the nothing that didn't happen and, leah, I will find little Ray for you."

"All I do is think about leah and how her ears are regular." "I saw le today." "What?" "Where?" "Did she say she misses me?" "Yeah, she misses you." "I saw her at my place." " Why?" " She needs my help as a Detective." "What does she want you to do?" "She got the girls a dog, but it was stolen." "The guy who took it had the audacity to ask for ransom, but she lowballed him." "She does have a secret cheap side." "The whole time we were together not once did she raise my allowance." "Go ahead." "Anyway, she lowballed him and he hung up the phone." "I guess he must have sold the dog or something, but leah wants me to try to find him." "What a bastard, wanting money for a lost dog." "I don't know if you're gonna like this, but leah and the girls named the dog little Ray." "Yeah, I like that." "It means they miss me." " What kind of dog is it?" " He's a... oh here."

"You all right, George?" "How are you feeling?" "To be honest, I'm a little upset." "The way I see it, I have two options:" "One, I come out of this impotent and incontinent;" "Or two, I die under anesthesia." "Oh no, please, George, you have to visualize a perfect recovery... beautiful strong erections, vitality, controlled urination." "You're absolutely right." "All right, just tell me what's going on with you." "The best positive thinking in life is thinking of others." "So what's happening?" "Distract me."

"Cute little thing." "Beautiful eyes." "That's what I thought." "I love his eyes." "They remind me of my nat." "That's why I wanted him." " Nat was your dog?" " No, my husband." "He died at the deli last year." "Went for some half-and-half for my coffee, never came back." "I should've just drank it black." "I'm sorry." "You kind of have his build, you know?" "Ha." "That's what I liked when I was younger... feel a man's weight." "It helps you forget your troubles." "That's right." "A lot of women today, they don't appreciate heft." "So about little Ray." " Where did you see him?" " The nevins street dog man brought him here yesterday." "He's a pooch peddler, mostly little dogs." "He knew I was looking for one because nat passed on, but he wanted too much money." " That must be the guy who called leah." " Yeah." " How much did he want?" " $200." "Yeah." "Then I was up at park slope, you know, where it's fancy?" "That's where I saw your flier." "I went to see my daughter." "She lives very nice... married to a Jewish lawyer." " Are you Jewish?" " Yes." "Good." "Steady income is nice." "Right right." "So where can we find this nevins street dog man?" "Well, he's not called the Carol street dog man, is he?" "That's right." "Well hello, Mr. Christiansen." " It's Christopher." " Oh my God, you brought a lot of baggage." "When I get nervous I overpack." "Do you think I brought too much?" "Yes, but it's okay." "So you've had no liquids or food since last night?" "Nothing." "Actually, you know, I did brush my teeth and some water may have seeped down my throat." "Should we reschedule?" "I know I swallowed some toothpaste." "Why don't I call Dr. Kenwood?" "It's okay." "Toothpaste is fine." "So strip down and I'll be back to shave your pubic zone." "What?" "Nobody said anything about shaving down there." "No... oh God." "Oh, that's not fair." "There's little Ray." "Hi!" "This explains all the missing dog posters we saw." "I think I have my next story..." ""the nevins street dog man"... a Harry Parker mystery." "His picture doesn't do him any justice." "He has a strange forehead, but that's a good-looking dog." " Hi!" " It's locked." "Well, we'll get some bolt cutters and we'll free little Ray." "Right." "And these other guys too." " Tch tch tch." " I recognize most of them from the posters." "There's mochi, tulip, Mr. Chow." "You really like little Ray, don't you?" "Yeah." "He's like a dog version of a son." "His mother is the woman that I love and we have the same name." "Right." "We'll be back, little Ray." "Lift up your gown, please." "Uh, before we start, for some reason my old coloring has held true down there." "Um, will it grow back like that?" "It's just nice to hold on to one's youth any way you can." "I don't know." "I never had a patient come back." "This is the best case we've ever worked." "I thought you hated my cases." "I do, but this one's different." "This is my opening to win leah back." "You really do want her back, don't you?" "Of course I do." "Ray, there's something I need to tell you." "Oh God, I hate when you do this." "It's like forcing a man to look up at the guillotine." "Go ahead and chop my head off with whatever weird thing you need to say." "Okay." "I feel terrible, but yesterday I almost kissed leah." "Ray, I'm sorry!" "Raymond!" "Ray." "Wait, listen." "I just leaned towards her." "It was only a lean." "And she would've rejected me anyway." "Of course she would've rejected you, but why did you try to kiss her?" "She just seemed so sad about the dog." " Maybe I wanted to kiss her on your behalf." " That's bullshit." "Ray, I'm sorry if I hurt you." "Please forgive me." "Well, I banged Suzanne." " You did?" " No." "Of course not." "I didn't bang Suzanne." "I wanted to." "I wanted to bang all your girlfriends." "I wish you had." "You can if you want to." "Well, you didn't actually kiss her and I understand." "Leah's the most beautiful girl in the world, so..." "Let's just forget about it." "Forgetting, forgotten." "Forgotted!" "Don't push it with the wordplay." "I've missed you." "I've missed you." "I always miss you." "Why don't we ever work things out?" "I guess we're like children... that thing we can't reach is the thing we want." "Why don't you crawl on up here?" "They shaved my pubic zone." "I would've liked to have done that for you." "Oh God, look at you." "Oh." "I am so glad that possibly the last erection of my life is with you." "I guess that's your line with all the girls." "It sounded so sincere this morning." "Dr. Kenwood, this is not what... what you think." " This is, uh..." "This is, uh..." " Priscilla." "Priscilla my ex-wife." "And we were just snuggling for old times' sake." "That's all, nothing more." "Priscilla, this is my doctor." "Nice to meet you." "Yes." " Well, I'll see you at 6:00 P.M...." " Mm-hmm." "...But you'll be under so you won't see me." "It should all go well, I hope." "You hope?" "Donna..." "Donna?" "Are you sleeping with your doctor?" "Well, she is a urologist." "Is that bastard feeding them cat food?" "That is so low." "We're just gonna have to wait here and then we'll bust 'em out." "Shit." "I don't know if I've got time." "George's surgery's in two hours." "I said I'd see him before he went in." " Maybe we can come back tonight." " No, it's too risky." "We've got to wait this out." "Something could happen." " But I can't miss the surgery." " You go take care of George." " I'll take care of little Ray." " Are you sure?" " You're okay on your own?" " Yes." "I'm good with bolt cutters." "I've never used them before but they feel like scissors." "Okay." "I'll call you when I'm done." "And Ray, I'm sorry about..." "I've forgotten about it, okay?" "But just know one day," " I'm gonna almost kiss somebody that you love." " Right." "Tell George that I'm rooting for him, all right?" " I'm going to pray for his cock." " That'll mean a lot to George." "Do you have to ruin everything?" "Go." "I'm just glad that possibly my last erection in life is with you." "Did you really use the same line with both women?" "Yes." "And I meant it each time." "Oh my God." "You don't think that Donna will take it out on me on the operating table, do you?" "I don't know." "I would hope not." "Oh God, I'm such an idiot." "Well, one good thing... if I die, I can't get any stupider." "George, you're not stupid." "Yes, I am." "I'm 62 years old and I'm still just utterly confused" " about everything." " Like what?" "Myself, women, men, life in general." "I guess that's it." "Well, you have covered all the bases." "Well, I do like to be thorough." "Mr. Christiansen, sweetie," "I'll be back in a second with a chair to take you to surgery." "Thank you, dear." " "Christiansen"?" " I don't know." "She's been getting it wrong all day." "Everybody does, actually, ever since I was a kid." "She's very nice." "She shaved my pubic area." "Had a nice soft touch." "George," "I just want you to know that, um, well, I love you." "Okay, good-looking, in you go." "Is this your son?" "Yes." "Your dad'll be okay." "I promise." "George." "I'll be here when you get back." "I know." "I'll tell you who let the dogs out." "Oh my God." "They've got the wrong George." "♪ The enemy is everywhere ♪" " ♪ the enemy is everywhere..." "♪" " Hey, what the fuck?" "!"
