So lay back on the bed.

I'm gonna check

that abdomen again, OK?

- That's a doctor?

- He looks like a doctor.

Looks like a gladiator.

- Pain?

- No.

- Pain?

- Hey, the X-rays are negative.

Pain?

That tickles, right there.

OK, that's it.

Your X-rays are negative.

There's nothin' wrong with ya.

I'm takin' you out.

Just wait here!

We'll be out in a minute!

I ain't gonna wait here

all f***in' night.

Give the girl a break.

She's had a rough night.

Anyway, the baby's OK?

- The baby's OK.

- Yeah.

I wouldn't want to be a woman.

Neither would I.

Some big Pollak sticking their fingers

inside all your private parts.

- I hate hospitals.

- Mm-hmm.

- Why don't you put the radio on?

- Why don't you shut up!

Put on somethin' nice.

You look like hell.

Gee, thanks, Eddie.

You look fine.

Just put yourself together.

It's rainin'.

Put on some heels,

and that red dress.

This is a crazy night to go dancin',

with the face

and the dress and the... Let's go eat.

Whatever you kids want.

Make up your minds.

- Yeah.

- What's everybody talkin' about?

- We're here.

- Yeah, we're here.

- Know what I mean?

- I don't know. Eddie, I'm hungry.

You know what dancin' does?

Dancin' sets up memories

for when we get older.

It keeps you in shape.

Dancin' makes your eyes alive instead

of dead. You should try it, Shorty.

- You know I don't dance.

- He don't dance.

I'm serious. Just try it.

We'll make it a thing.

It'll be fun, Georgie.

Yeah, I want to. I want to.

- See that?

- No. Not a chance.

Oh, come on, Shorty.

We never go out dancin'.

Come on. We're here.

Let's do something.

- Shut up.

- Come on. Look. He's leavin'.

What do I gotta be,

a 24-hour inspiration machine?

Come on, move it!

Last chance! No? OK.

Bye, Georgie. Thanks for the ride.

Gimme two.

- It's a lousy night.

- Yeah. Too much rain.

Hey, wait. Hey, hey.

You didn't pay for the tickets.

Oh, geez.

I forgot the money.

Oh, and look at this.

She's in her red dress and everything.

You got any?

She doesn't have any.

I mean, no purse, nothin'.

Could I write you an I.O.U.?

I didn't bring the car,

so I don't have my driver's license.

But I got a big heart,

and we gotta dance.

How could you take a lady out

with no money?

I'm stupid.

Look how sore she is.

- She's embarrassed.

- Could I sign for just a little cash?

How much?

We got a cab ride,

oh, say two drinks.

Make it three.

Make it for 20, plus the tickets.

Is that OK?

Oh, you know, you're really...

You're terrific.

You really are terrific.

Could we make it three more bucks?

- Don't push it.

- No, for you.

- You don't have to do that.

- I know.

- I want to.

John Cassavetes

John Nicholas Cassavetes (; December 9, 1929 – February 3, 1989) was a Greek-American actor, film director, and screenwriter. Cassavetes was a pioneer of American independent film, writing and directing over a dozen movies, which he partially self-financed, and pioneered the use of improvisation and a cinéma vérité style. He also acted in many Hollywood films, notably Rosemary's Baby (1968) and The Dirty Dozen (1967). He studied acting with Don Richardson, utilizing an alternative technique to method acting which privileged character over traditional narrative. His income from acting made it possible for him to direct his own films independently.Cassavetes was nominated for three separate Academy Awards: Best Supporting Actor for The Dirty Dozen (1967), Best Original Screenplay for Faces (1968) and Best Director for A Woman Under the Influence (1974). His children Nick Cassavetes, Zoe Cassavetes, and Xan Cassavetes are also filmmakers. more…
