I Call First Page #2

Synopsis: Bobby (Anthony Cillo) is a typical young man on the streets of Denver, Colorado. Even as an adult, he stays close to home with a core group of friends with whom he drinks and hangs around. He gets involved with a local girl (Hannah Richter) he met on the RTD Light Rail, and decides he wants to get married and settle down. As they get deeper into their relationship, he declines her offer to have sex because he thinks she is a virgin and he wants to wait. One day, the girl tells him that she was once raped by a former boyfriend. This crushes Bobby. He rejects her and attempts to return to his old life of immaturity with his friends. However, after a particularly wild party with friends, he realizes he still loves her and returns to her apartment one early morning. He awkwardly tells her that he forgives her and says that he will "marry her anyway." Upon hearing this, the girl tells him marriage would never work if her past weighs on him so much. Bobby becomes enraged, but quickly recants

You know, the one that goes

across the river to New York.

lt doesn't sound

like you take the ferry often.

You can bet your life l don't.

Don't you like Staten lsland?

Well, l've got nothing against it

personally, you know.

But, really, it kind of shortens

your breath. The air is lousy.

If you're not used to it,

it can get you.

That's right. l'm not used to it.

l don't like tropical climates.

There's one way around it.

Go to down to Canal Street and

Broadway, into an army surplus store.

You pick up a couple of gas masks, get

halfway across the river, put them on.

-You like being stared at?

-l'd stare right back.

-You would?

-That's right.

Okay. l don't think l'd do it.

l tell you, l once saw

this guy back in 1 960.

You know that big snowfall we had?

Right in the middle of 1 4th

and Broadway, this guy's playing golf.

-Golf?

-l swear to God.

-Right in the street?

-ln the middle.

Wait a second, he says,

''The trouble with the world today. . .

. . .is that if a guy wants to play golf

in the street. . .

-. . .people stare at him. ''

-l don't believe you.

Would l--? l wouldn't lie to you.

You know how those knickers,

whatever you call them, and the hat. . .?

-The whole outfit? The whole thing?

-Right. Golf clubs, yeah.

That's crazy.

Yeah, well.

lt's kind of nice, though.

-Why?

-The guy did what he wanted to do, golf.

l guess so.

Should you always do

what you want to do?

Yeah, l think so.

-Do you?

-Yeah.

I don 't know, I hadn 't thought about it.

I guess so.

Thank you very much.

Ten minutes l've been talking.

Nobody pays me any attention, right?

Now maybe l can say something.

Listen, let me ask you guys something.

Why can't l walk out in the street?

No, don't answer me,

l'll tell you why l can't.

Because you owe everybody

in the world money.

Your friend owes everybody

in the world money.

l want to go to Chinatown.

l happen to like Chinese food, right?

l live right next door to Chinatown.

Biggest Chinatown in the world,

but l can't go.

Seven blocks, l can't walk.

l walk out of here, people jump out

of every block to get me when l walk.

So l may have to go to China

to get Chinese food.

So do me that favor. No borrowing

from Chinese people, okay? Good.

l only got one more thing to say.

Now, what are we gonna do tonight?

-Go to Chinatown.

-What, you haven't been listening to me?

l can't walk to Chinatown

because of you two.

l don't even like

what they put in the food.

-Makes you sick.

-You've eaten it before.

Yeah, and l got sick before,

so l don't eat it anymore.

l'll tell you what, let's go uptown.

Come on. l hear they got a new broad

uptown. We'll go and have some fun.
