Girlfriends Page #3

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

It's Moroccan.

Yes. I like it.

Where's the bathroom?

- The second door on the left.

- Thank you.

We find acting out

genuinely satisfying.

We do, do we?

Contestant number one,

what kind of movie

would you like to take a girl to

on your first date?

Probably a John Ford western

because I identify

with John Wayne.

Take your glasses off for me, OK?

But I can't see.

That's all right.

I can. Trust me.

You have a great face. I don't

know why you're hiding it.

What do you think of this?

Your face isn't shaped like hers.

It wouldn't work on you.

Will anything?

Let me see.

May I help you?

Yes. I dropped off

some pictures last week.

I'm here to see the photo editor.

What's your name?

Weinblatt, Susan.

Here you go.

Can I see her now?

No. I'm sorry.

She's busy.

She'll get in touch with you

if she wants anything.

Julie...

didn't you used to go...

Yes. Hi. How are you?

Great. Great.

So you stuck with it, I see.

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm trying to.

You, too, huh?

I got too much work.

If I lived here, I wouldn't

have time for anything else.

Oh, where you living?

Vermont.

You come down for work?

Mm-hmm.

How's Neil?

Wonderful.

You know, I sold three pictures

a few months ago.

Great. What are you

working on now?

I have a few things cooking.

Actually,

I have nothing cooking...

At all.

Well, what about those people

you sold the pictures to?

You been back there?

No.

What are you waiting for?

Nothing.

Susan, you've got to stay

on top of these people.

They love to feel

they're being pursued

by hundreds of young,

energetic women.

Get it?

Yeah, I see.

Living alone definitely

has its advantages.

Yeah? What?

Eating when you want,

coming home when you want,

doing what you want

when you get there.

I love it.

What about Neil?

He's fine.

We both are.

We split.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It was the best thing for us.

Susan, I've got a meeting.

I've got to go.

Listen, Julie,

do you think you might...

you might need

an assistant sometime?

Yeah, I might. Sure.

See? You're catching on.

Keep in touch.

Susan!

Susan, uh, uh, uh, uh...

Weinblatt.

Hey, come on in.

Sit down.

How have you been, Susan?

Great.

Have you seen the proofs

of the magazine?

No.

Shelly, would you bring in the proofs

of the new issue?

Wait till you see it.

Your work is good,

Susan. Very good.

Thanks.

I'd just like to show you

some of my more recent...

You got to work closer.

That's the problem.

You got to walk right up to people

with your camera.

You got to take that lens

and get it right in their faces.

That close?

That close.

Well, anyway,

here are some pictures...

You know, talent is...

thank you.

Now, where the hell are they?
