-He's filming her, man.

He's filming her.

We're making a movie.

You want to be in the movie, great.

Otherwise, stay away from us.

You gotta stay away from us. And you

can't be the star of the movie either.

- Why?

- You gotta do everything I tell you.

Because somebody else is the star.

I am the star.

The truth, brother.

Godard says 2 4 frames a minute.

Or is it a second?

- It's a second, isn't it?

- Twenty-four frames a second.

- You sure?

- Yeah.

- What is she doing?

- It's the future is what it is.

She's starring in my movie, man.

It's video, man.

- Yeah, video.

- Video is the future.

Video is the future.

The star, baby.

You could costar with her.

Got a part for you

in this picture.

Wanna sign?

You're not gonna be able

to see her otherwise.

Really.

They are happy.

Everybody's happy.

This is good for you.

Matty is happy.

Everybody is happy.

You think I love you?

I know you love me.

- You know?

- I know you love me.

I know you love me

when I touch you like this.

Everybody in the world

can do that.

No one does it like me.

Yes, that. Everybody

can do that like you.

Yes.

Oh, yes.

I do that alone,

and I feel the same thing.

I don't need that.

I love you so much.

You want somethin'?

I told you about Mickey, right?

The moment of awe.

He's telling me

about the moment of--

He's called this prostitute

up in the room.

And he's in a hotel.

The doorman rings him up and says...

''There's a girl here to see you.''

So he says, ''Send her up.''

She comes up to his room.

And she knocks on the door.

- Please listen.

- And he's there.

Do you want to marry me

because I was still pregnant?

Listen to me.

Would you like to come in?

Would you like to--

Would you like to have a drink...

or would you just like to

give me a blow job right now?

Did you want to marry me

because I was still pregnant?

Did you have an abortion?

Did you have an abortion?

I don't want my baby to have a father

who was a junkie. Do you understand?
