- Right this way, please.

Wow, look at that ass.

I could follow that forever.

Nice pick.

Oh!

I forget how beautiful the city is.

Thank you.

Hi, guys. How are you both doing tonight?

What can I get you?

Your accent. Are you... You're from...

Brazil.

Rio? Hmm?

- So Paulo.

- Oh!

That is a beautiful city. That's...

- You've been there?

- Once or twice.

Can we get two dry martinis with olives?

Mmm-hmm.

And a little bit later,

why don't you come by for a drink with us?

I'll make sure I get those drinks.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

She would be so offended if I didn't try.

Unbelievable.

Start spreading the news

I'm leaving today

I wanna be a part of it

New York

New York

I wanna wake up in a city

That doesn't sleep

And find I'm king of the hill

Top of the heap

These vagabond shoes

Are longing to stray

Right through the very heart of it

New York, New York

If I can make it there

I'll make it

Anywhere

It's up to you

New York, New York

I wanna wake up in a city

That doesn't sleep

And find I'm king of the hill

Head of the list

Cream of the crop

At the top of the heap

These little town blues

Are melting away

I'll make a brand new start of it

In old New York

If I can make it there

I'll make it

Anywhere

It's up to you

New York

New York

Wow. Wow! Bravo!

She's good! She's good!

- Hi.

- Hi.

- I'm David.

- Sissy.

- It is a pleasure to meet you.

- Nice to meet...

I think you are absolutely fantastic

and you look great in the dress, too.

- Please, sit down.

- Thank you.

What did you think?

Yeah, it was interesting.

What do you mean?

No, it was...

It was good. It was good.

It was good?

He was crying. He was crying.

There were tears coming down his face.

I saw it. You made a grown man cry.

- Really?

- Mmm-hmm.

I'm gonna get some drinks.

That's a great idea. Why don't you

get a round for the table, buddy?

Okay. I'm really sorry about that.

He's had a rough day at work.

I think he's a little bit emotional right now.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- So you guys grew up in Jersey?

- Yeah.

- You still live there?

- God, no.

That's good. That's good.

Where do you live now?

- Kind of all over the place.

- Yeah?

- What's the last city you've been to?

- L.A.

- Los Angeles?

- Mmm-hmm.

- Oh, boy. You like it there?

- I mean, I'm going back.

- That must mean you love it then, huh?

- No! I can't even f***ing drive.

- Wait a minute. You can't drive?

- It's a nightmare.

- Nope.

- Why not?

I tried when I was a kid and I was horrible.

Wait, how old were you

when you quit driving?

- Sixteen.

- You were 16 years old?

Mmm-hmm.

So, wait a minute.

How do you get along in Los Angeles?

- I take the bus.

Steve McQueen

Terence Steven McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was an American actor. He was called "The King of Cool", whose "anti-hero" persona developed at the height of the counterculture of the 1960s and made him a top box-office draw of the 1960s and 1970s. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles. His other popular films include The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Getaway, and Papillon, as well as the all-star ensemble films The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, and The Towering Inferno. In 1974, he became the highest-paid movie star in the world, although he did not act in films again for four years. McQueen was combative with directors and producers, but his popularity placed him in high demand and enabled him to command large salaries. more…
