just...

to be kind and polite.

You can f*** the moon,

and June and the sea,

But before you f*** them

first...

you must f*** me.

Christ, your her father! Can't you just

get up and go out, is it too much to ask?

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do if I go out there?

What happens if you get a phoncall?

I can answer the phone!

- Do you have a picture of her?

- Yes.

Can I see it.

This is one I always carry,

it's the one in my wallet.

That's four years old.

You're kidding!

That's too big.

It's too heavy.

You know what I mean,

I can't carry that.

Yes I can.

Lynn, we're at the station now.

- Here are four pices sir.

- Thank you very much.

They don't know anything.

They've checked the hospitals...

there have been no accidents,

nobody's been arrested.

I don't know, they've given

us the name of some places...

where the kids hang out in town,

we're gonna go look at them.

- What do you want? - Scotch.

- Scotch. Two.

I'm sorry to have

dragged Tony into this.

That's alright.

He has to get up early in

the morning doesn't he?

That's alright. He

doesn't sleep anyway.

I see the house,

it's very quiet

You mean tonight,

before you came over here?

Yes.

- And before that?

- This morning.

And before that?

Last night was bowling...

But in the morning... twice.

Twice?

He's crazy. I can't even

get undressed and he goes...

I was doing the dishes the other

night and I took off my blouse...

so I wouldn't ruin it.

He came in...

In the kitchen?

He's an animal.

Do you wanna

know what happened?

He woke me up in

the middle of the night,

told me to get out of bed

and he wanted me to...

What?

To sing.

To sing?

Sing. I got out of bed...

and I sang.

And he said:
"Sing louder"

and I said:
"What about the neighbours?"

"Sing louder" so I sang louder and he

wanted me to dance so I danced.

And then?

- What did you sing?

- It's really stupid.

Please tell me.

- I'm embarrassed it's so ridiculous.

- Don't be embarrassed, what?

- Smoking is a poison for my body.

- That's very good.

Now two:

I need my body to live.

I need my body to live.

- Yes, now...

No tell me, tell me!

I owe my body this

respect and protection.

Roll down you eyes then open them.

Like a fist, tight tight fist!

I came down dah wid my

hat pulled in, doo dah doo dah...

I go back home wid a pocket

full of tin, Oh, doo-dah day!

Gonna run all night,

Gonna run all day.

I bet my money on de bob-tail nag,

somebody bet on de bay.

I think we should get some

fresh air before we go home.

I think they're here.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes this is Dr Bronson.

Yes.

speaking with please?

Oh Mrs Tyne!

Alright hang on,
