his arms around her

and smothered her in

forbidden kisses and told

her that he would die

if he couldn't possess her.

No.

If you say one word to her.

[Voiceover] The moment

had passed without

his being aware that

it had come at all.

He would never know

how little he was able

to gage her unspoken thoughts.

She was always to elude him.

His inability to act at

that moment permanently

loosened his control over her.

(upbeat music)

Dear diary, today

John M. Called again.

He obviously wanted to

come over and screw.

I told him no dice, he's

good in bed but I don't

think he's sensitive.

Things like the theater,

the ballet, and foreign

films don't interest him at all.

Hm, me too.

Tonight at Teddy's marshmallow

I met the cutest guy,

what a hunk.

We didn't waste too

much time talking.

No sooner had our drinks

arrived when I asked

him over to my place.

I think he was a little

surprised and pleased

when I came out with

it just like that.

I want what I want

and I don't hide it.

I'm nothing if not honest.

I think that's what men find

most attractive about me

aside from my well formed

tits, which I think could

be a trifle larger, although

I haven't gotten any

complaints yet.

We came back here and

let me tell you, I wasn't

mistaken, I know

how to pick 'em.

No sooner do we start in

when the buzzer rings.

My god, I had

forgotten all about it,

I had a date with Leslie.

Mel said I should

invite Leslie up.

Suddenly my mind

was racing like mad.

I had never done anything

like that before.

How do you like it?

It's not for me.

[Voiceover] She was

anxious to continue reading

the story of this stranger.

She wanted to find out

if Leslie was a man or a

woman, what happened later

on in the evening, and so on.

Was there anything

else you'd like to see?

I think that's it for today.

[Voiceover] When she

realized that the diary was

several years old,

her interest cooled.

Then she wondered where

the woman was now.

What was she doing, does she

still see what's his name

or any of the old people

who filled the pages

of her old diary?

I should have left it there.

Maybe this store leaves it

out as a customer service

instead of magazines.

Something to do while you wait.

Can I borrow it?

What if it's the owner's?

I should return it.

It's like reading

other people's mail.

Diaries are meant

to be read, why do you

think they're written?

I might have ended

up like that, like her.

Only I hate bars.

Getting married saved

you from that sordid life.

Hm, sometimes I

think we're strangers.

You and me?

Well I meant me and Fred.

Fred and I.

I know, I keep my distance.

I feel we could be
