London Page #2

Synopsis: In New York, the drug-addicted Syd is consumed by drink and drugs - missing his girlfriend London, who broke up with him six months ago after a two-year relationship. When Syd finds that London's friends throw a going away party for her, he decides to go to the party without an invitation. But first he meets the banker and drug-dealer, Bateman, in a bar to buy coke, and he invites his new acquaintance to go to the party with him. While locked in the bathroom with Bateman snorting coke and drinking booze, Syd recalls moments of his relationship with London, inclusive that he had never said "I love you" to his girlfriend despite her countless requests. Bateman also "open his heart" under the influence of cocaine and tells his impotence problem to Syd; in the end he convinces Syd to talk to London.

Because if we didn't have words,|we'd be living in caves...

-...and still talking with our hands.|-Stop.

We haven't even|come close to a fight.

lf we can avoid that first fight,|by theory we'll never fight.

Okay? Please.

lt's been so perfect till now.|Don't do this.

lt's been perfect for you. For you.

London.

Coming.

Wait a minute,|someone's at the door.

-Hello.|-Hi.

Wow, you look beautiful.

You look hot.|Nice hat, nice boots.

Thanks.

-Hey.|-Hey, Becca.

-Rebecca.|-Bateman. Friend of Syd's.

-Nice to meet you.|-Nobody's here yet, guys.

So just come on in|and make yourself at home.

Okay, so you're not gonna believe|who's just f***ing shown up.

Great party, mate.

Oh, it'll be better. lt'll be better.|Trust me. l promise you.

Okay, l've gotta go.

Please tell me|you did not bring Syd here.

Oh, my God, l just rode up|in the elevator with him.

-Why? He's not invited?|-He's so not invited.

He's f***ing touching|my Buddha's head.

Hey, London, it's me.

Give me a call as soon|as you get this, okay? Okay, bye.

F*** it.

Hey, Syd. Do us a favor, yeah?|Don't touch the Buddha.

Okay?

He's a f***ing cocksucker.

Where did you get your hat?

lt's so cute on you.

He's f***ed.

To show up at someone's party.|He isn't even f***ing invited.

Did they just go upstairs?

Right. Nice. Nice of them to ask.

Wait, l'm confused, did you say|you do believe in God or you don't?

''God'' might not be|the appropriate word for it, actually.

lt's more of an epiphany.

Epiphany?|What was your epiphany?

Well, for me, an epiphany|is when you really see the universe...

...in all it's splendor and beauty...

...and you suddenly|understand everything.

-What does that mean?|-F***ing everything.

Everything you can imagine. You don't|know what ''everything'' means?

l know what it means. l don't know|what you mean by ''everything.''

lt means everything, doesn't it?|You know, everything.

-So, what's your problem?|-For someone who's seen the infinite...

...you're vague. You'd think|with someone who's had a revelation...

-...you'd be more specific.|-lt's not about specifics.

lt's an energy that hits you between|the eyes and you're enlightened.

-You see everything?|-You don't see everything.

You see nothing.|But you understand everything.

And you know what|got me the most?

-ls that l understood time horizons.|-What's a time horizon?

lt's like this. l understood|where l stood in relation...

...to where the Romans and the Jews|were 2000 years ago...

...and why l was here now.

Then l felt this enormous|compassion...

...for the struggle of the human race|and what it had to go through for us.

You know, for life as we know it|to come to this point.
