200 Cigarettes Page #2

Synopsis: New Year's Eve, 1981, the Lower East Side. Monica's having a party, but as late as 9, no one's there. She stews (and drinks). Folks are on their way, all looking for love, sex, or both. En route, paths cross, gambits misfire: a performance artist, her boyfriend until today and his long-time pal Lucy, two Long Island high-school girls, two punk rockers, a bartender, a Scottish painter who's lousy in bed, a pretty face named Jack who runs when women say they love him, his cute but clumsy date Cindy, two trendy vamps, a loquacious cabby, the man-crazed Hillary, and Elvis Costello. Nearly everybody smokes, and nearly everybody scores. And all get who and what they deserve.

Are there gonna be any guys there?

Does your cousin know any guys?

She knows guys,

but they're weird like her.

- Hey!

- That's OK.

I like weird guys.

I can get into that sh*t.

So where's this party, Soho?

- Noho.

- Noho? I thought you said Soho.

No. I said Noho.

That's not even a real place.

They just made that up.

That's not even

on the map or nothin'.

Well, excuse me, OK?

Wherever it is, it's right up ahead.

I love the East Village.

It is so cool.

I mean, all the cool people

live here!

- Wait a minute.

- What?

I thought this was the place.

This shithole?

Yeah. This is the address

she gave me.

- You're shittin' me.

- No!

This is the address

I wrote down.

So call her up.

I don't have her number.

What the f*** you carrying around

in that pocketbook?

A f***in'

Encyclopedia Britannica?

I got makeup and sh*t in there.

Makeup and sh*t?

That's just great.

We're totally f***ed

on New Year's Eve

with a pocketbook

full of makeup

- And this shithole building address.

- What should we do?

There's nothing we can do.

We're f***ed.

Look, I'll call and see

if she's listed.

All right?

You got a dime?

She better be listed, Val!

Oh, God.

Uhh!

[Elvis Costello's

Pump It Up Plays]

Kevin:
Excuse me...

Whoa! Pardon me.

Lucy:

Hi! Happy New Year!

Hey, baby.

- Excuse me.

- Hi!

How's it hang?

Sorry.

You want a piece of me? Huh?

Hey... knock it off.

Ow!

- Hi.

- Hi.

- Ha ha ha!

- A**hole.

- You used to go out with her?

- It was a long time ago.

How long ago?

l... I don't know. Um...

Well...

Um, maybe 6 months ago.

Six months?

You think that's a long time?

Yeah, I do.

I think 6 months

is a considerable

length of time.

Ugh!

Do you believe this place?

Do you think 6 months

is a long time

to have broken up

with somebody?

Oh, I guess...

if it's a clean break.

I brought you some matches.

He used to go out

with the slutty girl

that's throwing

this party tonight.

You went out with her?

Look, the only reason

I said we would go

is because she's afraid

no one's gonna turn up.

You spoke to her?

Yes, when she invited me.

Do you think she's right

about no one showing up?

Well, I'm not going.

Excuse me.

Right back.

See how fun this is?

This is so fun.

Whoo!

I think that bartender

likes you.

Pfft! He doesn't like me.

He likes you.

Really? Do you think so?

He is dreamy, sex-bomb cute.

Yeah, he's adorable.

Hey, man...

Hey! Man!

You're a fox.

Don't sell yourself short, sir.

The night's young.

He's gotta be depressed

working on New Year's Eve.

I'm gonna invite him

to this party.

Everyone's depressed

on New Year's Eve.

Only you are depressed

on New Year's Eve.
