Excuse me, miss.

I can't seem to find an empty seat anywhere.

May I?

If you wish.

I'm Sal.

Terry.

Selma, California.

No tienes hambre?

You want to love me now?

Cesar 1,20.

Matilde 1,10.

Terry 1,15.

Terry.

Sal 1,05.

Sal.

Maria 1,15.

You growing roots?

Jasmine 1,10.

The harvest is ending, and it's getting much colder in the nights.

Terry and I bitterly decided we'd have to leave.

She was supposed to come to New York in a month with her brother, but we both knew she wouldn't make it.

I can feel the pull of my own life calling me back.

I still have a book to write.

(very low)We screw one more time, then you leave...

See you in New York, Terry !

Wait.

Thanks.

You know what they did to me in that prison?

Solitary confinement, and a Bible.

I used it to sit on the stone floor.

But when they seen that I did that, they took away that Bible,

and they brought back a little pocket size one, like so big, and I couldn't sit on it.

You know why I been in prison my whole life?

When I was 13 years old, I was in a movie with a boy, and he makes a crack about my mother.

You know, that dirty word.

So I take out my jackknife and I cut up his throat.

I would have killed him if they hadn't drug me off.

The judge says "Henry, you know what you were doing when you attacked your friend?

" I say, "Yes sir, YourHonor, I want to kill that son-of-a-b*tch.

" And I still do.

Bah !

J'suis revenu rien qu'd'un morceau, memere !

Penses-tu qu'fa m'fait quelqu'chose ?

Vieille sorciere !

It was over a year before I saw Dean again.

I stayed home most of the time, struggling with a half- finished manuscript on my desk.

Bored with all of it.

RECORD SONG I used to love you But it's all over All over now.

Sal's sister's house, North Carolina, December 1948.

Ma, on behalf of Nin and I, I just wanted to say that.

"ton gateau est fantastique !"

Thank you Hey, eh, eh.

Listen to this General Douglas MacArthur bans kissing on the streets of Tokyo.

Who does that puritanical old fart think he is?

Sal.

Ho, ho, ho Oh hello, merry, merry

Dean, I'll be goddamned !

You're early...

Yeah, well...

Sh*t Who's in the car?

Oh, it's Marylou and my good pal Ed Dunkel.

Anyways we need a place to clean up immediately.

Man, we're dog tired.

Sure.

How did you get here so fast?

That Hudson goes !

Yeah?

Where did you get it?

I bought it out of my savings.

I was working as a breakman on the Southern Pacificmaking 400 bucks a month.

And guess what?

I'm a father now !

What?

You and Marylou?

No, not Marylou.

Camille !

I annuled Marylou, hitched up with Camille, and now we have a sweet little Amy.
