Never Talk to Strangers Page #3

---

- What do you guys talk about?

- Who said we talk about anything?

There are other ways

for a man and a woman to relate.

Right. You can just smell each other.

Somebody must have given it to me.

Who would that be, like, Yeltsin?

Anyway, thank you for not having it.

You saved my life.

Hello. Oh, hi.

Of course I remember. La Tache, '61...

a memorable year.

That would be nice.

Tony? Who's Tony?

What do you mean,

don't let the elevator scare me?

Okay. Top floor, 63.

Great. Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow night. Bye.

Now what is that? You have a date?

I have a wine-tasting.

- Well, how many people?

- Two.

La Tache, '61.

- You're a bad influence.

- How bad?

Well, here I am,

getting drunk with a stranger.

- A stranger, huh?

- You know what I mean.

You need more wine.

And you never heard from him again?

Not a word. One minute

I was engaged to be married to Benny...

and the next, he was gone.

You mean he split? He ran out on you?

He didn't leave a note. Nothing.

What a sh*t, huh?

So what exactly does

a surveillance consultant do?

- Kind of what it sounds like.

- A bodyguard?

Yeah. That's how I started.

Now I sell security devices...

alarm systems, car alarms,

motion sensors.

I suppose my job's about

making people feel safe.

- You're good at it.

- You think?

I have a feeling nothing bad

can happen when you're around.

I like that. Thank you.

- Is New York your hometown?

- No. I'm from Albany.

That was way back.

My mother was killed when I was five,

and we moved away.

Killed?

Yeah. A car crash.

I'm sorry.

I don't really remember

anything about it.

I was raised by my aunt in New York.

What about your father?

He was always away.

He's a traveling salesman.

- He was always on the road.

- Must have been lonely.

I guess.

Never knew any different.

The only memory I have of my mother...

is of her reading to me at night.

She used to climb

right into bed with me.

I remember her.

I really miss her.

I'm sorry. I'm being ridiculous.

- It suits you.

- Being ridiculous?

Being not so in control.

You look different today.

What is it? Your sex life pick up?

Good morning, Max.

I didn't think I'd see you again.

I thought you'd made up

your mind about me.

- Why did you think that?

- Because you're very judgmental...

for a psychologist.

Is that why your attorney

came to see me?

He's a f***ing idiot.

- I told him it wouldn't work.

- Wouldn't work?

I told him you weren't the kind

of person to be intimidated.

- You were right.

- Good.

You've got principles. I like that.

If we had more like you,

this world would be a better place.

Max, I wanna ask you

a little bit more...
