Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead Page #2

Synopsis: Jimmy the Saint's business is videotaping the terminally-ill, so that they will be around to give 'Afterlife Advice' to their survivors. He hasn't been doing too well lately and has had to turn to loan-sharks to accomodate his failing business, as well as his expensive personal tastes. When an evil gangster-overlord buys up his note and demands a favor of Jimmy, in exchange for the interest that he can't afford, Jimmy capitulates. Jimmy is to scare someone for the gangster-overlord--really rough them up. Without giving too much away (spoiler), the scene goes down badly and Jimmy and his crew all end up with contracts on their heads for their trouble.

- It's f***ing clunky, Cuff.|- What's clunky?

- What do you know about clunky?|- I know about clunky, and that's f***in' clunky.

I thought you people were supposed|to be good at this kind of sh*t.

- "You people"?|- Yes, you people. Homosexuals. You're not a homosexual now?

- "You people"?|- You people.

Every fag in the world|is good at this kind of sh*t,

and I gotta wind up|with one that's clunky?

Okay, Jimmy. Well, the video leasing|company called "you people" today,

and they said if they don't|have a check by the end of the week,

they're gonna come|and take all the equipment.

# Said that woman #

# Man, she's such a dream|Ah #

# I said that woman #

# She's like something|you've never seen, ah #

Jimmy.

So what do we do?

- Jimmy?|- I don't know, Cuff. Maybe we should let Julie go.

It's not like the phone actually rings|or anything.

Or maybe we could dip|into your boat fund.

I mean, you're never really gonna|buy a boat. We live in Denver, Jimmy.

Who has a boat in Denver?

Good-bye.

Hi.

Dagney? That's your name?|Tremendous name.

My name is Jimmy, and I just have|one simple, impulsive question:

- Are you in love?|- What?

- At the present time, are you in love?|- Why?

Because if you are,|then I won't waste your time.

I mean, I'm not the type of man|to impede another man's happiness.

However, if you're|not presently in love,

then I will continue my rhapsody,|because if I may so, Dagney,

you are most definitely|the bee's knees.

Does this rap ever work?

Alas, in the old days.|Uh, now I rarely get a chance to try it.

But you haven't answered|my question.

- I forgot it.|- Are you in love?

- Well, there is someone.|- But?

We date. I have memorized his phone|number, but I won't use his toothbrush.

We're somewhere in between,|and he's crazy about me.

As he should be.|You glide.

- I glide?|- You glide. It's a very attractive quality.

Most girls, they merely plod along.|You, on the other hand, you glide.

Tell me about it.|What's his name? Chip?

- Alex.|- Same thing. Does he... make you thump?

Define "thump. "

Thump. When you think about him,|you can't eat, you can't sleep.

When he smiles, you forget about man's|inhumanity to man. Does he do that for you?

That's a ridiculous concept.|No one can do that.

Girls who glide need guys|who make them thump.

"Girls who glide need guys|who make 'em thump. "

- Have dinner with me.|- Aren't we the sultan of segue?

- It's a beautiful month. Just have dinner with me.|- Are you gonna make me thump?

Or die trying.|Dinner.

Just dinner.

- I'm gonna regret this.|- Only if we're lucky.

# I took a peek through my window #

- # And what'd you think I seen #|- Right here.

# My baby settin'|beside another... #
