Body Heat Page #2

---

My temperature runs a couple

of degrees high, around 100.

I don't mind.

It's the engine or something.

Maybe you need a tune-up.

Don't tell me.

You have just the right tool.

I don't talk like that.

How did you find me, Ned?

This is the only joint in Pinehaven.

You shouldn't have come.

You're going to be disappointed.

What did I do?

A lot of them have tried that seat.

You're the first I've let stay.

You must come here a lot.

- Most men are little boys.

- Maybe you should drink at home.

- Too quiet.

- Maybe you shouldn't dress like that.

This is a blouse and skirt.

I don't know what you're talking about.

Then you shouldn't wear that body.

Sometimes, I don't know...

I just get so sick of everything,

I'm not sure I care anymore.

Do you know what I mean, Ned?

I know that sometimes the sh*t comes down

so heavy I feel I should wear a hat.

Yeah, that's what I mean.

I'm gonna get out of here.

I gotta go home.

- I'll take you.

- I have a car.

I'll follow you.

I want to see the chimes.

You want to see the chimes.

I want to hear them.

That's all.

If I let you, then that's all.

I'm not looking for trouble.

This is my community bar.

I might have to come here

with my husband sometime.

Would you mind leaving before me?

Waiting in your car?

I know it seems silly.

I don't know who you think

we're going to fool.

You've been pretty friendly.

Now, leave me alone.

It's just like my place.

No help?

She goes home nights.

You're not nervous here alone?

No.

You do have chimes.

What's that?

- A gazebo.

- No, no, out there.

A boathouse.

What's in it?

A boat.

It's a mess, really.

There's a old rowboat,

and some lounge chairs, things like that.

I think you should go now.

I just got here.

You've seen them.

Please go.

Thank you. I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have let you come.

- You're not so tough after all, are you?

- No, I'm weak.

Yes. Oh, yes.

Yes, it's so right.

Please, Ned, do it.

How are you doing?

Good walk, right.

Mrs. Singer.

Mrs. Singer.

- I would have gladly come to your house.

- Oh, no.

The doctor said I should walk,

and I did have some shopping.

Not that the quack knows

what he's talking about.

Mr. Racine, I'm just not sure

that his testimony is going to be useful.

Don't worry about it, we'll find

a doctor who's more understanding.

- Is it bad today?

- You just can't imagine.

Nobody can repay me

for the pain I've been through.

How well I know.

We'll sue those reckless bastards dry.

Excuse my language.

No, don't apologize.

You have to have an attitude

like that these days.

I like this place.

It's got a nice feel.

- You were on top.

- So it could use a better mattress.

- See to it, will you?
