Girlfriends Page #2

Synopsis: In New York City, Susan Weinblatt and Anne Munroe are longtime roommates and friends. Susan is a struggling photographer who wants to get out of the wedding and bar mitzvah racket, those jobs which she primarily gets through her friend, Rabbi Gold, to selling the photographs she wants to take, but she realizes that she has to pay the rent. Anne is an aspiring poet and academic who looks to Susan as her primary guidance. As they move into a new apartment, Anne drops the news that she will not be moving in as she is getting married to her boyfriend, Martin. This news is bittersweet for Susan who is somewhat happy for her friend, but isn't sure if she likes all that Martin now represents to her. Both Susan and Anne will have to make professional and personal adjustments to their new situations, especially in what it means for not having the other as a constant in each their lives. While Anne has a "Martin", Susan has no one currently to replace all that Anne has been in her life. So Susan

Eric James Allen,

Susan Weinblatt.

Hi.

Pleased to meet you.

Terry, can you come over here

for a second?

- Listen, I'll see you guys later.

- OK.

So... uh... would, uh,

would you like to, uh...

Dance?

No.

So, uh, you're of

Chinese ancestry, huh?

Wrong.

Japanese.

That's what I meant, Japanese.

Oh.

North, right?

Northern Japan?

No.

South.

No.

North.

Yes.

Yes. That's what I meant.

Susan, how you doing?

Denise, all right.

How you doing?

How was the wedding?

Oh, it was great.

Listen, you want to dance?

- Sure.

- OK.

Bye.

I'll talk to you later.

See you, Liz, Bill.

What's your middle name?

Do you live nearby?

Yeah, just a couple of blocks away.

You want to go?

Actually, I was going to wait around a

little bit and talk to a couple of people.

Oh, sure.

You live near here?

No.

Up on the East Side, huh?

West Side.

I live near here,

just a couple of blocks away.

Oh?

You want to go?

Did I do something?

I just want to go home,

that's all.

Seriously?

Bye.

Bye.

Boy, oh, boy.

Supposed to be women's liberation.

Bet you's one of them

karate experts, too, huh?

Nope.

I say it's great.

Let them have it.

It's about time women got treated

like first-class citizens.

Ever have the mumps?

Ask your boyfriend if he ever had

the mumps when he was a kid.

When a man, uh, as an adult man,

like my age, gets the mumps...

He gets impotent.

Oh.

Thanks for telling me.

Bet that would make you mad, huh?

I mean,

being your boyfriend and all.

It's so beautiful.

This is a mountain in Safi, I think.

No, maybe it's in Casablanca.

No, this is Casablanca.

No, honey, that was Rabat.

Remember?

No, Rabat was where

we had the picnic.

No, we had the picnic in Agadir.

Oh... right.

Right.

Whoops.

I guess we forgot to...

So, what did you buy?

Oh, wait a minute.

I'll show you.

Martin, show the rest

of these to Susan.

We'll wait for you, honey.

I'll be back in a minute.

OK.

Coffee?

Yes, please.

- It's Moroccan.

- Oh.

- Sugar?

- No, thank you.

Cream?

Do you have any milk?

Uh... no.

I'm sorry.

That's all right.

I'll just have it black, then.

OK.

Thank you.

I just want to show these to Susan.

Here, honey.

Whoa! Careful.

Wouldn't kill her on

her first day here.

Now, this...

This is very old.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

I love it.

Oh, I think that's exquisite.

What's it made of?

It's pure ivory.

Beautiful.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Lovely.

And this is for you.

Oh, Annie.

Oh, God. I told you

we should have got the other one.

I think we could have it altered

or something.

Don't worry.

When we go to Italy,

we're writing down

everybody's sizes.

Did you try some coffee?
