The Man Who Fell to Earth Page #3

- Probably so.

That's why you tease me

so much, isn't it? Huh?

Well, I'm not

a lecherous old man.

You're a lecherous little girl.

But no one

would ever believe it!

Come on. Nobody would ever believe you.

- Yeah! Yeah!

- Yeah.

F*** Professor Canutti!

F*** you!

- F*** you!

- Yeah! Yeah!

- F*** Canutti.

- Yeah. Nobody would believe you.

Do you think I could have

something to drink?

Are you sure you should drink?

- I'd like a glass of...

- Gin?

A nice gin and tonic...

with four cubes of ice

and a slice of lime.

How's that sound, mister?

- Just a glass of water.

- No, no.

I'll get it.

Do you want me to go down

and get some medicine?

Maybe you should have

something with your water.

Some kind of pill maybe?

Just the water.

What's your name?

Sussex.

Um, can I leave now?

I've got some cleaning to do.

I'll come back in a little while, okay?

You go ahead.

I'm all right.

And then,

when I was 15...

I worked in this pharmacy

in a hospital...

delivering medicine

to all the floors.

It was a real responsible job.

Boy, you're really hooked

on water, aren't you?

One of these days

you oughta try one of these.

Am I talking too much?

Maybe I oughta go.

Oh, Lord, it's after 3:00.

I guess you're tired.

Well, I'll just

finish this up and then -

And then?

And then I think

I'll have another one.

You know, I really like you, mister.

What do you do?

For a living, I mean.

Oh, I'm just visiting.

Oh, a traveler!

Could you help me up, please?

Sure.

Oh.

You know, mister,

I don't think you get enough to eat.

If you don't mind

my saying so...

I think you're too thin.

You're very thin.

You're too thin!

Do you come from a city?

No, I come from the country.

Ah.

I wish I lived in the country.

You know, this is

a very unhealthy place.

Water here is all polluted.

They put all kinds of chemicals in it

to keep people from gettin' sick.

It's a very unhealthy place.

I think it just takes

getting used to. That's all.

It sure does.

- Anyway, I -

- I wonder-

I wonder if you'd mind,

Mary-Lou, if I rested now.

Lord, no.

I was just leaving anyway.

I'll come back and see you tomorrow,

if you want me.

I'd like to see you tomorrow.

Perhaps you could arrange

to bring me a television.

TV? Nothin' easier.

Well, I'll be seeing you then, Mr...

- Sussex.

- Sussex.

I don't know why, but I'll never

be able to remember that name.

Good night.

Good night.

Thank you, Mary-Lou.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Just say you love me

like you used to

And make the world go away

They always seem to lead

such interesting lives...

- people who travel.

- Make the world go away
