- In that case, make it out to me,

- otherwise I won't get the money.

- What's your name?

- Carmen Rodriguez.

- Carmen Rodriguez? You could sing that.

Eddie Quinn.

Carmen Rodriguez.

There you go.

But I'm telling you, it's a lousy night.

There's only about

a handful of dancers up there.

Thanks.

What? I hate it when you do that.

People like to be nice.

You got a guilty conscience.

- Come on.

- I wanna go home.

- Oh, one dance.

- Come on, Eddie. No kiddin'.

- Let's go.

- One dance. One dance. One dance.

One dance. Come on.

If we don't go in, I'm gonna look

like a chump with this money.

Come on.

- OK.

- All right? One?

- All right. OK.

- Just one.

The night is long

And the skies are clear

So if we want

to have a dance in here

It's delightful

It's delicious

It's de lovely

I understand

The reason why

You're sentimental

'Cause so am I

It's delightful

It's delicious

It's de lovely

You can tell

At a glance

It's a night

For romance

You can hear

Nature's pleas

Whisper softly

On the breeze

So show me now

That you're listening

And when I kiss you

Say to me

It's delightful

It's delicious

It's delectable

It's delirious

It's dilemma

It's de limit

It's de lovely

It's de lovely

That perfume stinks!

- All right!

- I'm not kidding.

That perfume reminds me

of too many things.

Like what?

- Like a good smell to cover a bad smell.

- Oh...

Older women, sweat, my mother...

I don't know.

Some other thought, like,

something else is goin' on...

another guy or something.

Come here. Kiss me, you wacko.

Come here.

Ow! That hurts my teeth there.

Sorry.

What do you want to do?

The meter's runnin'.

Anybody home?

It's Eddie Quinn, Mr Piticelo!

I'm with Maureen,

and we're hungry.

We're broke. We're wet.

We'd like some wine and pasta.

- Who is it? Eddie?

- Eddie.

Eddie! Hi!

- What?

- Hi! Hi, guys!

- How are you?

- It's Maureen.

- Are you hungry?

- Yeah.

But were you sleepin'?

Did we wake you up?

- If you were sleepin' we can go.

- Yeah, we can go.

Come on in. I'll prepare something

for you. I'll get Mario. We'll eat.

Gimme the money.

The cab's gonna cost us a fortune.

- Come on.

- You are such a beautiful woman.

Yeah, yeah.

- Again?

- Oh, damn it!

- Are you OK? Are ya?

- Yeah, I'm OK. Yeah.

- Can you make it to the door?

- Yeah.

- Gimme the money.

- Oh.

- Is she all right?

- Yeah. We do this all the time.

- I'm gonna be sick.

- Oh!

You wanna vomit?

Vomit. Don't worry about the halls.

They stink already. Go ahead.

Come on. Everything's gonna

be fine, Murphy.

Go ahead.

- Thanks, pal. I'm gonna be OK.

- I know.

Get down

Get up outta your seat

Get up, get down, get up

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…
