It was raining hard, and I was running

just to keep from getting wet,

and I slipped and fell,

I don't know how long I was out.

I went home, you weren't there,

so I came here.

Do you know what your face looks like?

- Yeah.

- Come on. Get her into the bathroom.

Get her out of these wet clothes.

Wrap a towel around her waist.

Get her in a coat.

I'm gettin' you to a doctor.

- No doctors!

- No doctors.

Georgie, Lucinda,

before her brain freezes

altogether, will ya?

Shorty, do me a favour.

Get me a drink, will ya?

Pour me a drink.

Three dollars.

She's got three dollars in her pocket.

She goes to the doctor

with a bum carburettor.

She's pregnant, and falls over.

It's all I ever get, Chinese stories.

Fables to cover foibles.

- Disgusting.

- Yeah.

- I know.

- Make good money, though.

- Yeah. I have a pair of boots like that...

- Here's one.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

- Do you have the time?

- I have no idea. Must be about 7:30.

- You have no idea, but it's 7:30?

- Yeah, I think so.

Oh, boy.

Come on. Doctor. Doctor.

Will you do me a favour? See this lady?

She could be bleedin' internally.

We have been waitin' an hour.

The only reason I'm here

is 'cause I'm pregnant,

but you say the baby is fine,

and I just want to go home.

No. No, I didn't say that.

What I said was I couldn't tell.

John Cassavetes

John Nicholas Cassavetes (; December 9, 1929 – February 3, 1989) was a Greek-American actor, film director, and screenwriter. Cassavetes was a pioneer of American independent film, writing and directing over a dozen movies, which he partially self-financed, and pioneered the use of improvisation and a cinéma vérité style. He also acted in many Hollywood films, notably Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Dirty Dozen (1967). He studied acting with Don Richardson, utilizing an alternative technique to method acting which privileged character over traditional narrative. His income from acting made it possible for him to direct his own films independently.Cassavetes was nominated for three separate Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor for The Dirty Dozen (1967), Best Original Screenplay for Faces (1968) and Best Director for A Woman Under the Influence (1974). His children Nick Cassavetes, Zoe Cassavetes, and Xan Cassavetes are also filmmakers. more…
