We'll paint the town, Nina.

Come here.

Give me a kiss.

Come on.

Mmm! I love you.

OK.

Well, I'm

a mighty, mighty man

I'm young and

I'm in my prime

Yes, I'm

a mighty, mighty man

I'm young and

I'm in my prime

Well, I don't

pick my jobs

I'm ready for

any old kind

Yes, I'm

a real young man

A brand-new 25

Yes, I'm

a real young man

Well... you're up awfully early

this morning.

Do we have sausage or bacon and eggs

or anything?

That's not what you

like in the morning.

Your stomach is too delicate

for greasy things.

Did you have a nice time

with your new friend?

Mm-hmm.

Does your new friend

make it a habit...

of going to bars in the middle

of the afternoon?

So what if he does? So what if he

goes to bars in the morning?

Don't yell at me.

No need to yell at me.

I'm not yelling!

I'm not yelling.

I just asked what business

is it of yours...

what Gunner Casselman does?

It's my business

what happens to my son.

It's really none

of your damn business, Mother.

And for your information,

he's a great guy.

Sonny.

When you lie down with dogs,

you come up with fleas.

Where's my mind?

I'm losing my mind...

I'm losing my f***ing mind...

f***ing mind...

It's my business... business...

It's my business...

it's my business...

...the photographer.

I remember you.

You took pictures

for The Daily...

I've been doing a little

photography myself...

Boy

Yeah

Uh-huh

This is so good.

I mean, this is...

I never... you know...

I never observed anything.

I never looked

at anything...

and questioned it,

you know?

At least not till

I got to Japan.

And only then, I think, 'cause I was...

I was an outsider.

You know? I was a real outsider

for the first time.

And I realized that I didn't know sh*t

about my own society.

I just accepted it.

That's when I wanted to learn

how to start taking pictures...

Learn how to see.

You already got that.

You're...

You know, it's like

you were born with it.

This is... so good.

I don't know.

I guess... thanks.

You're very kind.

I guess I'm just lucky that way.

No. That's... that's not lucky.

That's good.

Okay, I got it!

We are choppin' in tall cotton tonight,

my man, oh, yeah.

Nina's got a date

for the races...

Saturday night

at Churchill Downs.

She'll be in Louisville.

We're gonna have the place

to ourselves.

Oh, ho-ho!

Think you can line up a hot one

for tonight?

I... yeah.

- Yeah?

- Sure.

Good. I figure one of us gets

the couch.

The other one gets the bedroom...

or the red room...

Have us a regular

f***-a-thon.

What do you say?

You say "yes"

is what you say.

Yes.

Oh... I actually got

this little drink theory here, OK?

It's called the secret
