What made you feel differently toward her?

Her braids.

Tell me about her braids.

I caressed them...

kissed them.

Did you pull on them?

I'd never hurt her.

The next question's gotta be

As a reporter, did you ever cover a story...

where a man became intensely excited

whenever he saw a woman with long hair...

long, loose hair?

Yes.

- Did he make love to her?

- Yes, he killed her.

You don't want to wake up some fine morning

to learn you killed your sister.

Oh, now, Doctor, I'm no epileptic

with some kind of fetish for hair!

- Of course, Cathy - Now, her hair is different.

- I understand.

- I figured you would. Yes.

- Because she's different.

- Why is she different?

- Because!

- Because why?

Cathy! Cathy!

Cathy! No!

Would you help me...

put a gap between us?

said my "Chablis-tinted hair...

"is like a soft halo...

"over wide-set...

inviting eyes."

And my mouth -

my mouth was a lush tunnel...

through which golden notes came.

Stop it, Cathy.

And my movements...

evoke the most inflammatory passions...

in all -

I miss you, Cathy.

My yen for you goes up and down

like a fever chart.

- I love you, Cathy.

- I don't like being alone, Johnny.

But you made me be alone, Johnny.

And I have a right...

to find another Johnny.

No!

Let me have his frequency table.

Yeah. Yeah. Mm-hmm.
