Hey! Hey, lady!

What is this?

Oh, that's cute!

Hi.

You look like I've seen

you somewhere before.

- No, I don't think so.

- Yeah, I think so.

- You doin' anything right now?

- I'm waiting for someone.

- Come with me, miss.

- I have to meet someone.

- We'll talk about it in the car.

- She's got all my stuff.

She'll give you the goddamn cab fare!

I don't need this aggravation.

I work for a living.

Theft of services. I know the law.

Well, hi! Excuse me,

but do you like candy?

- I got some Sugar Babies.

- No, thank you.

I wanted to have a chat. I was very

close to your boyfriend in Atlantic City.

- No, no, no. I'm married.

- No, I don't think so!

Susan!

Did you wear the pretty

earrings he gave you?

- Let's have a chat. My car is over there.

- Let go of me!

- Susan!

- Let go!

Susan!

Susan?

Susan?

- What happened?

- Are you OK?

My head hurts.

I'm Dez. I'm a friend of Jim's.

Jim?

Your boyfriend Jim.

Who was the guy hassling you?

- Guy?

- The guy that just ran off.

- I dunno.

- You don't know?

- I don't remember.

- You don't remember?

Are you OK?

Do you wanna see a doctor?

- I'm OK.

- You're OK.

She's OK. Show's over.

She's with me, she's OK.

Sit down?

Do you remember anything?

I don't know.

How did you get here?

I don't know.

Do you remember what

you had for breakfast?

I don't know.

You are Susan, aren't you?

- Susan?

- You don't know.

All right, what do we have here?

No purse?

Do you have anything in

your pockets, maybe?

Is that it?

Now we're getting someplace.

This is my phone number.

Jim must have given it to you.

This is like a dj vu.

How can you have a dj vu if

you don't remember anything?

No, no. I mean...

this is all dj vu.

This is a Port Authority locker key.

I tell you what. I'm gonna run

you up to the Port Authority.

Maybe what's ever in the locker will

help you snap out of it. How's that?

- OK.

- OK.

Let's go.

Wait a minute.

This isn't some sort of trick, is it?

- What do you mean?

- I mean I know a little bit about you, OK?

So don't even consider jerking me around

because I'm not in a great mood today.

Sure, I mean, I wouldn't...

jerk you around.

I don't even know you.

You better wear this.

I hope it's filled

with something good.

Look at this!

You sure do move around a lot, huh?

Yeah, I guess.

So this stuff does

look familiar, right?

Well, it's not completely unfamiliar.

You know, when I close

my eyes I see a pyramid.

A pyramid?

Like on your jacket?

Oh, yeah. That must be what it is.

At least you got everything.

I hope you're feeling better.

- You are feeling better?

- Yeah.

Good. I gotta go.

I gotta get that scooter back.
