I'll go right to it.

Judy, I'll be out

for the rest of the day.

- Two.

- Yeah.

Do I get waited on today?

I'm sitting here for 15 minutes.

Right away, sir.

And then, he took me on one

of those horse-and-carriage rides.

You're kidding.

And in the middle of it, he asked me...

- He asked you what?

- To marry him.

F***ing greasehole!

Are you all right, sir? Sure? Are you?

- Hello.

- Dr. Glaser.

You have reached the office

of Dr. Dorothy Glaser.

Please leave your name...

Hello?

Jackie?

Yeah?

Don't hang up, please. This is Peter.

I want to explain about the other day.

There was a reason...

I had a very good reason

for doing what I did.

Look, you know I'm very fond of you.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

It was some illness.

I feel funny

talking on the phone about this.

Better be a hell of a good reason.

Let's meet. Can you? Tonight?

You wanna get together tonight?

Meet somewhere?

I can't for a couple of hours.

Fine.

Let's just say 9:00. Mondo Cane.

All right.

9:
00.

Great. Okay. I'll see you then. Bye-bye.

Who's there?

Who is it?

He is wondering:

"How did she get in here?"

And he is realizing...

that he let her in, as she is his lover.

His most passionate mistress.

And he is realizing...

that she is a jealous mistress.

Alva.

There you are!

What the hell is he doing in here?

I have a gun.

If you hurt me, I'm gonna use it.

What the f*** is going on?

I don't know.

I'm doing all I can.

Maybe the contract was lost.

Don't come near me!

I'm telling Mr. Langdon about this.

And I swear I'm gonna use my gun

if you ever touch me.

Just once.

No. I'm sorry.

I didn't mean...

I'm sorry.

You all right, honey?

Yeah.

Nothing like a little office trauma

to keep things interesting.

The chase was my favorite part.

Pete hurdling over those desks.

You weren't there for the grand finale.

She asked me for a raise.

Can you believe it?

She does keep a gun

in that little bag of hers.

- Get out of here.

- Really!

She takes the subway into Pelham

every night, I don't blame the kid.

She asked me for a raise

for getting chased into the ladies' room.

I think she deserves it, Sidney.

You can take it out of Attila's paycheck.

F*** you!

One question, Peter.

Is my name written anywhere

on the bathroom wall, and what did it say?

"Beautiful dreamer awake unto me

"Sounds of the bluebird

"heard in the day"

What is happening to me?

"by the moonlight have all passed away

"Beautiful dreamer

"queen of my heart

"List while I woo thee

"with soft melody

"Gone are the cares of..."

I had a difficult day yesterday.

Got a little upset...

at the office.

Do you want to talk about it?

It's just, there's this contract

Joseph Minion

Joseph Minion (born 1957 in Teaneck, New Jersey) is an American film director and screenwriter, best known for Martin Scorsese's After Hours (1985). Born in New Jersey in 1957, Minion briefly attended NYU Film School before finishing his studies at Columbia University, then renowned for its screenwriting program. In 1984, Minion's script for After Hours was optioned by Griffin Dunne and Amy Robinson, the latter a former actress who'd appeared as Harvey Keitel's damaged girlfriend in Scorsese's Mean Streets (1973). Robinson sent Minion's screenplay to Scorsese, whose Last Temptation of Christ had recently fallen through; production on After Hours started shortly afterward. Later, it surfaced that Minion had plagiarized portions of After Hours from radio host Joe Frank, who sued and settled for an undisclosed sum.Minion continued his screenwriting career with 1987's Julia and Julia starring Kathleen Turner; 1989's Vampire's Kiss, starring Nicolas Cage; Motorama (1991); and On the Run (1999). He also worked again with Martin Scorsese in 1986 for an episode of Amazing Stories, "Mirror, Mirror".As a director, Minion made his debut for producer Roger Corman with 1987's Daddy's Boys, said to have been thrown together at the last minute to make use of standing sets for Big Bad Mama II. His last outing as director was for another low-budget feature, Trafficking (1999). more…
