Fur: An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus Page #2

Dee...

You know I think you're brilliant.

- No, you think I'm strange... - No.

...that I can't be normal.

I never said that.

Even our own children think I'm

strange.

I love you.

I love you.

Good night, sweetheart.

Good night.

What do you think?

I don't know.

I don't know. It's all so predictable.

You know we have the golf course in

about 20 minutes.

With swimsuits and puppies.

The client's gonna love it.

Mm-hmm.

Mother?

- Go ahead, take it. - Okay.

What is it, Grace?

There's something wrong with the

plumbing.

I need you to turn off the main water

valve, the big one...

...and bring me Daddy's tool kit and

a bucket.

- You're a good girl. - Okay, Mom.

Uh, Grace, tissue.

Trash.

Oh, yuck.

Oh.

Ew!

What was that?

It's nothing.

Okay, Gracie, let's go.

Taxi!

Yes?

Are you washing a dog?

Excuse me?

Do you have a large dog?

A dog?

Your dog's hair is in my pipes. It's

causing problems with the plumbing.

Perhaps you should check the basement.

...Diane.

Hello.

Are you a new neighbor?

- I'm a friend of Lionel's. - Lionel?

The man who lives upstairs?

Oh, I'm sorry. I'll, uh, get out of

your way.

Time to sleep now, Gracie.

Okay, Mom.

Allan.

Christ, what is that?!

I fixed my drain for you.

Thank you.

You still think I have a dog?

I have 10 dogs.

I don't think you have a dog.

I haven't seen any dogs going up the

stairs.

I'm not feeling very well right now. I

can't find my rabbit.

Oh, okay. Then I'll, uh... I'll...

I'll come back later.

You saw me the night I moved in,

remember?

Yes.

I definitely saw you.

You trying to seduce me, Diane?

No.

- No. - No?

God, no.

Is that why you came up here in the

middle of the night?

I, um...

Well, I would like to, uh...

I'd like to take a portrait of you and

your... Your wife.

I don't have a wife.

Well, then I would like to take a

portrait of you, just you.

When?

Now.

It's not a good time for me.

Come back tomorrow night at 9.

Tomorrow?

Okay.

Okay.

Do you have trouble sleeping, Diane?

Actually, it's "Diane. "

Why would you want to take a portrait

of someone you've never seen, Diane?

Most nights I have trouble sleeping.

Did you get the key?

The key?

Diane, come back tomorrow night at 9.

Hey, watch it, Vern.

I forgot something.

Looks like gin rummy.

Foo-Foo, don't you bother Donald, now,

you keep still for Mummy.

They're adorable, aren't they?

And such beautiful coats.

I'll be to bed soon, darling.

I...

I thought I'd go for a walk.

Okay.

Be careful.

Lionel?

Hello?

Hello?

Lionel?

Do not go near him, ladies and

gentlemen.

He has taken lives already.

In captivity, we have the upper hand.

But isn't Lionel a good doggie?
