Dream Lover Page #3

a bachelor.

You don't have a girlfriend?

The girl at the art gallery,

the one you made cry?

No, no, no...

No. She was trying

to rape me.

- Was this on special?

- I don't know.

How did you come to that party?

Are you a friend of Norman's?

A girlfriend of mine

knows the artist.

- Wild Bill Hickok?

- Yeah, he was kind of...

- You want to get a cup of coffee?

- $23.17.

Or a glass of French water?

- Actually. I haven't eaten yet, so...

- Me, either.

So I'm V.P. sales.

I'm moving up.

Then the CEO decides he likes me.

I say no, but he's used to

getting what he wants.

I have to threaten to call his wife.

So, of course, he fires me.

He spreads the word.

It's a small community.

I couldn't get hired

anywhere in New York.

You should have gone to court

and filed some...

Sure. If, as he put it,

I wanted to hear -

- every guy in the company

testify that they'd had me.

I moved out here instead.

- What a terrible...

- Yeah.

- I've never done this before.

- Had supper?

Pick somebody up

in a supermarket.

You didn't pick me up.

We bumped into each other.

Still, you know what I mean.

Usually you meet somebody...

You work together.

Or a friend introduces...

Not just a complete... stranger.

Getting to know someone

is like peeling an onion.

- It makes you cry?

- No.

Layers and... more layers.

Well...

I think we should go.

I do business in Japan.

So where'd you learn

to speak it?

I studied it at Swarthmore.

I've forgotten most of it.

But I love the concept of Japanese.

Symbols, not letters.

This is it.

Where I live.

This was great.

Yeah. Thanks for dinner.

You think I could come up?

I mean, just for five minutes?

It wouldn't take five minutes.

The law doesn't matter.

This is politics.

Now, if we take him to court.

We'll win.

But because he has a vote

on the planning commission.

Right now he's

a better architect than you.

That's the law.

- Excuse me, sir?

- Not now. Sally.

Norman's on line two.

Sorry, Hal.

Well?

It's Wednesday. I got my

Wednesday afternoon golf game -

- and I'm out here

trying to track down some chick.

Nobody knows her, nobody.

Forget her.

Okay. Thanks for trying.

Thank you. Good night.

See you soon, sweetheart.

- Yeah. What do you want?

- I'm sorry.

- Hello

- Hi.

Lena. Hi.

- Hello?

- Yeah?

Hi. this is Ray...

Reardon from last night.

- Do...

- I remember.

I don't have

your phone number.

I don't know your last name.

So there was no way

for me to get in touch.

Do you wanna go out... come out?

Now or later or...

...meet someplace

or something?

Or do you have

a phone number?

- Hello?

- Come on in.

I'll be right out.

I was just taking a shower.
