Cruising Page #4

They found him in his apartment

in about 10 pieces.

Detectives came around asking questions

for a couple of days, nothing came of it.

I guess you can't be too careful, huh?

Excuse me.

Could I ask you about these?

What about them?

What are they for?

A light-blue hanky in your left back pocket

means you want a blow job...

...right pocket means you give one.

The green one, left side says

you're a hustler, right side you're a buyer.

The yellow one, left side means

you give golden shower...

...right side you receive. The red one is...

- Right, thank you.

See anything you want?

I'm gonna go home

and think about it.

I'm sure you'll make the right choice.

You into water sports?

No, I just... I like to watch.

- Later.

- Yeah.

If you like to watch, take that hanky

out of your pocket, a**hole.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

- How you doing?

- Good.

Bartenders are starting

to give me some information.

You know, like who the regulars are.

Who's been there before,

who ain't, that stuff.

Good. What else?

Oh, yeah, there's this name

keeps popping up all the time.

Tommy Mancusi.

He owns the Cock Pit,

four, five other places.

Tommy the Joker they call him.

- Are you serious?

- Yeah.

Are you trying to tell me you don't know

who Tommy the Joker is?

I don't know who he is.

Well, I do. I can't move on him.

Why not?

I ask the questions.

You dropped your chalk.

- See you later.

- Watch yourself.

You bet.

I think he's cruising.

- Great night.

- Yeah, it is.

- Wanna get a beer?

- Oh, I don't know. It's kind of late.

I'd invite you up to my apartment,

but I don't have air conditioning yet.

Oh, that's too bad.

- How about the park?

- Fine.

Who's here?

I'm here

You're here

Where are you, man?

Come on.

Where are you?

Don't play games with me, man.

Where are you?

I'm waiting for you

- Everything's ready.

- Good.

Nance...

Why don't you lie down

for a little while?

Don't let me lose you.

Okay?

- Don't let me lose you.

- I love you.

You're not gonna lose me.

I love you so much.

Gregory called me last night.

Remember roommate Gregory?

Seems the star of the show has hepatitis

and the tour is canceled till he recovers.

Show closes in Bucks County tonight,

he'll be home tomorrow.

- That should make you happy.

- Overjoyed.

Listen, I never told you

about Gregory and me.

You know what he said

when he called me up?

He said I should forget about my writing

and find a job until his show reopens.

He says it's my turn to work now.

He intends to flop on the beach

and turn nut brown.

His very words. Damn.

I was counting on having

the rest of the summer.

I could've finished by Labor Day.

- So tell him.
