I'm sorry, but, uh,

Look at me, you creep.

I'm pregnant, you bastard.

What do you think my husband's

gonna say when he sees me like this?

Hey, I'll tell 'im.

"Your wife was lonely.

She was mad at you.

"It's only human. "

F*** Eddie. I don't give a sh*t

about Eddie.

He's a little punk with a gun.

And I want him to know

that you wanted me.

You liar. You tell him that, I'll kill you.

Shouldn't get so violent.

You're way too little for it.

Get outta my house.

Hello!

Hello!

Hi! Excuse me!

Excuse me! Hi! Can you help me?

I can't get out.

Can you... I guess my handle broke.

I know.

Eddie...

Quinn.

Oh, yeah. We know him.

- Always violent.

- Yeah, well, he... He got a temper.

Yeah. I got that.

So, what brings you here?

Maureen, right?

- Uh...

- You love him?

Oh, 100J%.

- He loves you?

- Yeah.

- OK. Sex is good?

- With him?

- I don't know. Anyone.

- It was good.

- What's good?

- Perfect.

Perfect.

Does he make a habit, hitting you?

- What?

- Your face.

Uh, this? Oh, no.

Eddie didn't do this.

No. Eddie wouldn't...

He'd never touch me.

- He'd never touch you?

- No!

No, and, you know, I don't

want to talk about this anyway.

'Cause, you know,

I'm not here about my face.

And I don't want

to get mad at anybody. I just, uh...

When I go home,

he's gonna want to kill...

somebody that did this to me.

He doesn't think he...

He thinks somebody else does it?

No. He doesn't do it.

He doesn't... That's what I'm sayin'.

Are you listening to me?

- I'm tryin'.

- OK. I know Eddie.

OK? And I'm gonna go home, and he's

gonna want to know who did it.

And, you know, he's gonna think...

I got raped, uh, or,

you know, beat up, whatever,

somethin' like that,

and then he's gonna think

somethin' else,

and then he's gonna want

to kill somebody.

So, if you wanna...

If you wanna sign these forms,

we'll pick him up right now.

- No, I don't wanna take him away.

- OK.

OK? I just wanted

to be able to call somebody.

In case something happened,

and then maybe I couldn't handle it.

- But forget it. That's OK.

- All right. Here's my number.

Somethin' comes up, you call me, OK?

- Yeah, yeah. OK.

- Go right to the phone, just call me up.

You got a instinct, follow it, all right?

- We'll send a wagon. We'll pick him up.

- Hey.

I love the guy. OK?

I'm playing a dollar

a ticket to listen to Augie stutter.

I don't stutter!

We were walkin' down the street...

We were walkin'

down the street the other day...

Yeah, he says, "D-D-D-D-D-D-D."

Hey!

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…
