My Blueberry Nights Page #2

Don't start with me!

Get out!

Hey you haven't paid yet!

Can I have a tissue?

What happened?

Did he hit you?

No!

Well what?

I got mugged on the subway

I thought Pork Chop lived around here?

He does

What were you doing on the subway?

Well...

I just needed some time to prepare myself

I was gonna get off in a few stops

I don't know, I just

The next thing I knew, I ended up in the Bronx

That's a very interesting way

to prepare yourself

I've never been very good at confrontation

Some people enjoy it

Not me

Hey, are you alright?

Should we call the police or something?

No

No, he didn't get away with very much

Especially after I kicked him in the balls

You didn't

Wait, what happened to you?

I ate too much chocolate today

What's wrong with your camera?

Oh, I don't know

It's been in a lousy mood these past few days

It doesn't really keep people from stealing,

does it?

No

Not really

But I like having it around, 'cause

for me it's like my diary

You know?

Some nights, I watch the tapes back and

I'm amazed at how much I've missed

That's going on right in front of me

You must have a lot of tapes

I don't keep them all

I'm not that weird

Only the highlights

Can I take a look?

Sure

Come around

She left behind her set of keys

and disappeared that night

DAY 01 ny

How do you say goodbye to someone

you can't imagine living without?

I didn't say goodbye

I didn't say anything

I just walked away

At the end of that night

I decided to take the longest way

to cross the street

Dear Jeremy

As you can see by this postcard

I'm now in Memphis, Tennessee

Hey Lizzy,

hurry up with those damn pick-ups will ya!

Coming!

Come on hustle it!

It took me a long time to get here

And I'm not sure how long I'll be staying

During the day, I work at a diner downtown

I haven't been able to sleep at night

so I've also taken a waitressing job at a bar

It's kind of a dive,

but the tips are pretty good

Working two jobs is exhausting

But at least it keeps me busy

and most importantly,

it keeps my mind away from him

DAY 571,120 miles since ny

Hi girl

Hey Sandy

You going home?

Let me put it this way

I'm getting up out of here

I wish I could go

What's wrong?

That guy at the bar

I don't think he's ever gonna leave

Oh you're talking about Arnie?

Child, don't worry about him.

He probably just lost track of time

But now if you need to get going

You just bring his check to him,

have him sign it

Travis runs a tab for him

Well, does he always stay this late?

Always

You stick around here you see for yourself

Have a good night darlin'

You too. Good night

Here's your check

Just eight?

I coulda sworn I had at least nine
