The Conversation Page #3

on your birthday?

Like what?

Something personal.

What?

Like, uh, telling me

about yourself...

your secrets.

I don't have any secrets.

I'm your secret.

You do have secrets, Harry.

I know you do.

No.

Sometimes you come over here...

and you don't tell me.

Once I saw you

up by the staircase...

hiding...

watching...

for a whole hour.

You think you're going

to catch me at something.

You know?

I know. A woman can always tell.

You have a certain way

of opening the door.

First the key

goes in real quiet...

and then the door

comes open real fast...

like you think you'll

catch me at something.

Sometimes I even think

you're listening to me...

when I'm talking

on the telephone.

What are you talking about?

I don't know.

I just feel it.

Really, I do.

# Wake up #

# Wake up, you sleepyhead #

# Get up #

# Get up, get out... #

Why are you singing that?

It's pretty.

What's the matter?

Nothing.

It's just that, uh...

somebody else

was singing that today.

A girl?

Yes.

Who is she?

No. No. If isn't...

I'm jealous.

No.

Just somebody at work...

and she, uh...

She reminded me of you.

Where do you work, Harry?

Oh, different places,

different...

jobs, you know?

I'm kind of, uh,

a musician, you see.

Oh.

Freelance musician and, uh...

Uh-huh.

Where do you live?

Why can't I call you

over there?

'Cause I don't have a telephone.

Do you live alone?

Why are you asking me

all these questions?

'Cause it's your birthday.

I don't want people asking me

a lot of questions.

I want to know you.

Yes, I live alone.

Oh.

I don't feel like

answering any more questions.

Your rent is due.

Here's the money for it.

You never used to ask

a lot of questions.

Harry, I was so happy

when you came over tonight.

When I heard you open the door...

my toes were dancing

under the covers.

But I don't think I'm going

to wait for you any more.

I have a package

for the director.

All right. I'll take it.

No. I'm supposed to

hand it to him personally.

I have an appointment.

Are you Mr Caul?

Yes, I am.

A Mr Caul is here. All right.

Make yourself comfortable.

The director's assistant

will be right down.

There are some nice

Christmas cookies I made. Want one?

They're good.

No, thanks. I...

What do you see?

Oh, not much.

Here's your money..

$ 15.000 cash, as you asked.

These are our tapes?

I had an arrangement

with the director.

I was to give those

to him personally.

I understand.

He's not here this afternoon.

He's out of the country.

He asked me to get the tapes

and give you the money.

I guess I can just wait on this.

Now, look, don't get involved

in this, Mr Caul.

These tapes are dangerous.
