Gregory's Girl Page #5

I hurt my arm once...

at the joint.

I can't get it any higher

than this.

Used to be able

to get it way up here.

You just did.

No, it's this arm.

It's stuck.

Look at this, then.

My big brother

threw a bike at me.

I was only seven.

I can only see it

in the mirror.

It's quite nice, isn't it?

Nice shape.

Renaldo--that was a boy in Italy

last summer--

he said it was like a new moon.

Very romantic. La luna.

Ah, si, si. Bella, bella.

Ah, parliamo italiano?

No, not really.

Just bella, bella.

Oh. I think

it's a wonderful language.

It's so alive.

I want to live in Italy

when I leave school.

I can speak-a de language.

I'm a quarter Italian

and a quarter Irish...

On my mother's side.

Hey, I can speak Irish.

What was Renaldo

doing down there anyway?

He lives there.

No, I mean down there.

Oh, he was putting

some suntan oil on for me.

Bella, bella.

Anything else to show me?

Any major wounds

when you were twelve?

Hmm? Fourteen?

Oh, hi, Dorothy.

Nice to see you. Good game.

Look, I'd like to have a chat

with you...

for the school magazine.

I want to interview you...

and that girl in 2-A

that had the triplets.

You're pretty famous now,

you know?

I'm sorry. This is a dressing

room. You can't come in here.

Eric, get the whole

dressing room thing...

and some nice big closeups

of Dorothy.

You don't mind if Eric flashes,

do you?

This is no place

for a camera, Eric.

People take their clothes off

in here.

Yeah, where better?

Look, could you stand in there?

Too many shadows.

Just keep well in there, eh?

Thanks.

I like to interview people

like this--

no preparation,

everything nice and natural.

Now tell me, Dorothy...

how are the boys taking it--

you being on the team now?

You guys are so predictable.

Always trying to cause trouble.

We're all very happy.

Dorothy's

a very good player.

Slow down, Gregory, will you?

This is an in-depth interview.

-Dorothy?

-Things are fine.

I'm quicker than most boys,

so I can keep out of trouble.

I take dancing lessons, too,

and that helps my balance.

What you've got to remember is

that my body's quite different.

Hmm. You've got a good body.

You must train a lot

to keep in shape.

Do you have time

for anything else?

I mean, what do

you and your body do...

on a Saturday night,

for instance?

Oh, Saturday nights are special.

I like to do something special.

Hey, how about doing

something special this Saturday?

Come on,

this is a dressing room !

You all go and conduct

your business somewhere else.

-I'll go and change, too.

-OK, Dorothy.

You're an interesting girl,

you know?

But I want to find

the real Dorothy.

The one underneath

the football shirt--
