Stranger Than Paradise Page #2

That recording was made

by Krell musicians a half a million years ago.

Now if you will follow me, I will show you

some of their other remaining artifacts.

Krell metal.

Try your blaster there, Commander.

This spot should be molten.

It's not even warm, huh?

And no trace of radioactivity.

Shh. In there.

Hello, Mae.

I've got a bone to pick with you.

- Ouch! Oh!

- Uh-huh!

Do you have a vacuum cleaner?

- What?

- It's really dirty in here.

- Do you have a vacuum cleaner?

- What do you want? A vacuum cleaner?

Don't open that. Oh, man.

The vacuum cleaner's under the bed.

I told you not to open that.

Close the bott...

The bottom one first,

and then the top one.

- Mmm.

- It's under the bed.

Where? Oh.

Willie, can you help me

change the bag?

It looks full.

I'm sure it's fine.

It hasn't been used in years.

- It looks dirty.

- Eva.

Are you sure?

You know, you don't say-

Like, it's really too formal to say...

"I want to vacuum the floor.

I want to use the vacuum cleaner."

Oh. What do you say?

Well, you say, um,

"I want to choke the alligator."

So if somebody comes in here, you know,

you say, "I'm choking an alligator."

Okay.

I am choking the alligator right now.

Ba-boo, ba-boo. Nothing.

Man.

Hi, Willie.

Hello, Eva.

- How you doing?

- Okay.

Where'd you get all that stuff?

I thought you didn't have any money.

I got this stuff with no money.

This one is especially for you.

TV dinner.

Thanks.

Whew!

Ah, you're all right, kid, I think.

I think you're all right, kid.

Damn.

So I've been losing

all afternoon here.

- I've been winning.

- Yeah.

Oh, hi.

What the f*** is that?

I really hate that kind of music.

It's Screaming Jay Hawkins,

and he's a wild man, so bug off.

So, uh -

um, I got something for you.

- What is it?

- It's a present.

- Present?

- Mmm.

Thanks.

What is it?

- It's a dress?

- Yeah.

Oh, thank you.

I think it's kind of ugly.

Don't you?

No. I bought it.

Why don't you try it on?

I don't really wear this style.

You -You know, you come here,

you should dress like people dress here.

I'll try it on... later.

Hey. Leave me some Chesterfields.

Can I get them in Cleveland?

Yeah, yeah.

You can get 'em in Cleveland.

They taste good there, like here?

- It's the same Chesterfields.

- Yeah?

All over America, yeah.

All right.

So, you're sure you don't want me

to come with you to the station?

Mm-hmm.

I would like to go by myself.

Oh.

So, I don't know.

Take care of yourself.

Okay.

Good-bye, Willie.

- So, Eva -

- Yeah?

Uh, I don't know.

Maybe I'll see you again sometime.

Yeah, maybe.

Oh. Hi.

Eva.

This dress bugs me.

I'm leaving.

I'm going to Cleveland.
