Henry & June Page #4

I used to pace the six-day | bike races in Brooklyn.

- You're pretty damn good to keep up. | - Let's go!

I guess it's natural with me. | I've always loved sports.

Hey, come on!

That was fun.

A little different than horseshoes.

Match that.

- It's a tie! | - Okay. It's a tie.

You're like the schoolteacher. | I'm like the young girl.

Always merry and bright.

What's your name?

I'm Count Bruggar!

Where do you come from?

Count Bruggar's been on the stage.

That's why he's so spoiled.

Count Bruggar is not spoiled!

Jean made Count Bruggar.

She's an artist. | Her hands are incredible.

Her beauty's more like a man's.

She's no ordinary woman.

No ordinary woman | could make Count Bruggar!

- Quiet. We're talking. | - Shut up.

You shut up, too!

- Where did you learn how to do this? | - My parents were show people.

My father was a magician in the circus. | My mother was a trapezist.

I was born on the road.

What has Henry told you?

Nothing. Really.

He mention Pop?

No. Who's Pop?

Pop is a patron saint of the arts | I know.

Henry's jealous of him | because Pop's rich.

Henry sees a lecher under every rock. | You know how men get.

Do you love women?

What do you mean?

What about Jean?

Did Henry tell you about Jean and me?

No! You've been telling me | about her.

Sometimes he has a way of making...

everything ugly.

- He's not sleeping with you, is he? | - What?

I guess not.

- Did we pay? | - Let me.

Good. I've got to book my passage.

Passage? To where?

Home to New York.

Come on, Bruggar.

I've got my own life to lead. | So many things up in the air.

My friends, my acting. There's | an audition I don't want to miss.

Excuse me, | this is all the money you have?

Yes.

Sorry. I can't do anything for you.

What do you want me to do, swim?

Of course not.

We'll find a solution.

Something's happened. | I don't know.

The price has gone up, | or the exchange rate's gone down.

I tried to get a reduction, but I don't | have enough even for third class.

- Here. Let me... | - I couldn't.

Please, take this.

It's swell of you.

Thanks.

About that boat.

So, did you find a solution?

I hope so.

- I'd really like to travel first-class. | - It's possible.

Maybe you know a place | we could meet for a drink.

Let's say 6:
00.

- 7:
00's better. | - 7:00.

- Thanks. | - See you then.

Here I am.

This character, Mona. | She's supposed to be me?

Why?

Nothing.

It's so good.

I always wanted you to be...

Dostoyevsky.

- Is that good? | - Good?

I struggled, suffered...

for this?

This isn't me. | This is not me!

Of course it's you. | It's the you inside me.

It's a distortion.

Henry, look at me.

Look!

You can't see me or anyone | as they are.
