Across The Universe Page #4

This would be our main room...

...living room, whatever room.

Real bummer losing my last tenant.

He played sax at the Gaslight.

Out all night, slept all day.

We could do that.

You'd have to, man,

because I'm a singer.

I can't have no one screwing up

my beauty sleep before 2:00.

Someone can take this bedroom.

I'm gonna need two weeks in advance,

guys. Is that a problem?

- No, no, no, that's not a problem at all.

- You look kind of clean-cut.

Then again, could've murdered

your granny with a hammer.

Actually, we're students.

I'm Jude and he's Max.

I'm Sadie.

That's me. Out of bounds.

- Are you famous, Sadie?

- Man.

Not yet.

You guys have

a good memory for faces?

Yeah, I think so. Why?

There's no mirror in your bathroom.

- Oh, man! What a fox!

- Yes!

I mean, for an older woman, huh?

Max, I will pay for my share of the rent

just as soon as I get a job, man.

Jude, don't worry about it.

Look where we are, man.

Move it, pal. Come on.

Get out of here.

Get on the ground!

Get down!

Attention.

The 7:
05 Northeast Limited

leaving for New York City...

... now ready for boarding

on Platform 20.

Platform 20, Northeast Limited

now ready for boarding.

Check it out, man.

Check it out.

Rat.

What the hell are you doing, man?

Desmond, this boy

wants to talk to you.

Hey.

I love it.

"Just stand on your head."

She said, "Why?"

"I wanna see what it'd look like

through a beer."

- Get off me.

- Oh, man.

Hey, do you write your own songs,

Jo-Jo?

Yeah.

I got 20 in a notebook...

...another 10 in my head.

Leave room for anything else?

Music's the only thing

that makes sense anymore, man.

Play it loud enough,

it keeps the demons at bay.

Hello, hello. Who are you?

- Prudence.

- Where you from, Prudence?

Nowhere.

Oh, and before nowhere?

Ohio.

Then I was living

with this guy across the street.

Did he do that to you?

He was a mistake.

Where'd she come from?

She came in

through the bathroom window.

Thanks.

I understand you need to get away...

...but why not come to Europe

with your father and me?

I'd rather be with Max.

In New York?

Just for the summer,

till I go to college.

I shudder to think how Max lives,

or what he's up to.

He always attracts

the most dubious people.

He's probably surrounded by

promiscuous dope fiends.

Mom!

You know me. I don't even smoke.

The big, bad city's

not gonna get me.

Isn't she fantastic?

Amazing.

She's our landlady.

- You live with my brother too?

- Yeah, him and Jude took me in.

I don't sleep with them anymore.

Thank you.

Hey, Lucy?

How do you like New York so far?

This is all I've seen. I only

got off the train three hours ago.

- Oh, yeah?
