before the rush.

What do you want for supper?

something compatible.

How bout a roast?

If the day turns into a hassle. I'll

Say bye, bye.

Mary, move your legs up, up!

Alright, cut sound,

We'll cut in some music here.

(heavy breathing)

= It needs a god
damn brace on it.

= On what, man?

= What's the matter, Joe?

= [Joe] Oh wow, man.

Can we take a break now?

= Alright, cut, cut it.

= Hey, I'm gonna work on
that horror flick next week.

= Yeah, I heard about that gig.

I told you to stay away
from those massage parlors.

= [Joe] I know man, I know.

Give him something
to come home to.

Turn him on, caress him, move
your incredible little ass,

= If only it was you, baby.

= Well you'll have to fantasize,
get some fantasies going.

= All the time.

Hey, how bout some fast head?

= Hey, over here, over here.

mouse prick. (laughs)

I've got a meeting folks.

Joe.

Okay, little girl, turn him on.

Okay, Mr, roll sound.

(speaking in the background)

Action.

(moaning)

(heavy breathing)

Okay, give me your dog style.

(heavy breathing)

Alright, cut.

Okay, lunch.

Back in an hour, everybody.

= Fatman called
from the airport,

should be here any minute.

Coming to buy, James.

Come here with juice.

= Let's get it.

Kill the lights.

= Who's that other
chick up there?

She reminds me of a former
Miss America I picked

up last night at
the Bitter End West.

Wanted to be burned by
one dollar bills. (laughs)

I had to change three 20s.

Yes, yeah?

Oh hello, how are you?

= Had a nice trip?

= My car is waiting
outside, boys.

= How bout a drink?

= Never before five.

= That's right.

= Which hand boys, which hand?

= Oh man, do we
have to go through

that schtick every time?

= Left.

= It's always nice doing
business with my boys out here.

= Hey wait a minute,

there's only two thou here.

= Two thou?

= Now I don't want you
boys walking around

with that juice in your pockets.

There are terrible
people in the streets.

= Yeah well what
about the another one.

One more.

= Yeah, the deal
was for three thou.

Fire is down below.

Three for a print, right?

= Things are a little
tight now, the economy.

= Things were a little
tight last time.

They're getting a little
tight for us too, you know.

Tightness doesn't seem to
be confined to one place.

We're the top producers of
this stuff on the coast,

we don't have to do
business like this.

= You boys are the
top producers, so far-

Nice seeing you again,
I have a plane to make.

= Terrific, I thought you
had it worked out with him.

= That son of a bitch bandit.

What can I say?

= Yeah, did you get the
feeling he wasn't appreciate

of our art?

(water running)

= Went bad, huh?

= We won't be able to
put down the down payment

on the diesel.

Fatman came into town
and ripped us off.

So we just concentrate on
getting the deck finished,

it'll be okay.

= Mike's super producer-

I thought you said he was gonna
talk to the guy this time.

Want some dinner?

= Huh?

= Want some dinner?

= No, I just wanna
get some sleep.

I hassled with shooting all
this dude can come through

and wanted to retake and.

= I'm gonna have to come
down and visit that set.

= And there was some
busts up in San Francisco.

= Busts?

= Yeah but it'll pass.

It'll pass, right?

Yeah.

= Any chance of it
coming down here?

= I don't think so.

Hey what are you thinking==

= But you don't know.

= Well.

You ready to sail the sea?

How is she today?

= She was good.

Listen, I don't want any
trouble with the police.

= No chance.

= I just wanna
get away with you.

Stretch out the good days
until that's all there are.

Today at Ellen, I actually heard
back from the fabric place.

She got a call to go
out in a commercial.

They wanted mothers with babies
so we talked about me going

out and getting back
into the acting thing.

Only I don't have
any desire anymore.

I just wanna say goodbye
all over the place.

= Yeah, well, it wouldn't
be so bad if you did

do a couple commercials
once in a while.

It would mean more
money towards the ship.

If the opportunity is there.

= But we already
decided that I wouldn't,

I mean, that it was all over-

= Right but...

= Well you didn't want me to

but if you want
me to now, I will.

= Okay, forget it.

Cut the light, will you please?

I'm tired.

(giggling)

Turn on the light, I want
to see what I'm doing.

= You don't need a light.

= Hand me a clean rag, love.

= Hey, honey, take a break.

Come below and have some wine.

= In a minute, I just
have to get one more area.

(gasps)

= No, stop.

= Come on.

= Ah, alright.

Hi baby.

Are you playing
with your blocks?

Yeah, with you've been
playing with your blocks.

= Ticklish like your daddy.

= Yeah, okay, go and play
with your blocks, okay.

= Tell me what it's gonna be
like for the umpteenth time.

= Okay.

The islands, the blue water,
so clear you can see thousands

of inconceivably beautiful fish.

We'll trade cod for
our coconuts, you know.

Going from one
island to another-

Sometimes we'll just
drop anchor in a lagoon

and bask in the sun all day.

= Nude.

= Nude.

And just get high.

I mean, high on the beauty
and the freedom and on weed.

We're going to be free.

We're going to be free.

= You know, it's so
nice on your days off.

It's like, we used
to be like this.

= I'm like how I was.

I mean, like we were,
there hasn't been

any changes going on.

= You know what I mean.

It's like, there's sort of, a
dead space emanating at times

when you work.

= Well, I have to go
back to work tomorrow.

And so I'll be the
way I am these days,

so you can dislike me.

= You know, it's funny.

We always get like this
the day before you go back

to the studio.

Changes of moods.

= You don't need
to intellectualize

your feelings, Liz.

Get angry about it,
don't hold it in.

= Okay, I'm angry.

On a scale of 1 00,
you go down to 98.

= You don't hate passionately,
you're engulfed with love.

= Yes, isn't it serious?

= Terrible, engulfing love.

= I'm gonna come
down to the studio

and spy on you.

I'm gonna see what they
do to transform you.

I'll bring you lunch.

= I don't want you to
come down there, love.

It is not Disneyland.

= Hey, the things you
say to me sometimes

are really weird.

The way you look
at me is so weird.

Sometimes, sometimes
I feel like pouring

this wine right over your head.

(moaning)

(heavy breathing)

(moaning)

= I'm making it.

= Make it before the tape goes.

(moaning)

= I'm making it.

I'm making it.

= Oh merde, cut, cut it.

= What, what?

= Excellent.

= Thank you Marty.

Elaine, Elaine, why
didn't you tell me?

I mean, you cannot come to
work having your period.

= You have my apologies.

= Oh you little cunt.

= We could turn it
into a period piece.

(yelling)

= It's alright, we can
use her for simulation.

I'll put out a few calls.

= I cannot believe this thing.

= Hi.

= What are you doing here?

= I, well, here I am.

And you're right, it's
no Disneyland here.

= Yeah, well, we're kind
of hassled here, so.

Take off, love, okay?

Excuse me.

Okay, let's get this
area cleaned up.

Where the hell is Mary?

= Hi, how'd it go in there?

Did you get a good fuck?

= Michelle?

Hi baby.

This is Michael.

Wake you?

Look, make my day
for me, will you?

I'd like you to do
some work for me.

Oh, two days worth, maybe.

What?

Jim?

= Huh?

= You cast that other chick yet?

= I'm interviewing some
people this afternoon.

= Well Mickey's got a
girlfriend down from Big Sur-

What?

She's got good acting
experience. (laughing)

= Alright, pipe it down.

= Well you get her
down to the office.

About an hour-

See you.

Bye, babe.

= Okay, Mary.

You're a society girl
who's looking for a job.

So you've just come
back from your analyst,

who has practiced
shock therapy on you

by suddenly exposing himself.

So a three gets going and,

well you know the
rest of the action.

= What?

Rest of the action?

Are you supposed
the psychiatrist?

= My old lady and
me, we saw your hype

in the free press, man.

You know, I'm really
interested in getting

into some good bread.

And I'm amiable, can you dig it?

My old lady here, she
really gives good head.

You wanna try her, man?

= You won't believe this.

= Incredible.

= I told you.

= Girls have a bored look.

They really turn guys on.

They look at me, they
say, she's bored.

They really get turned on by it.

= Fine.

We'll call you.

= But when I climax,
I don't look bored.

I go through the most
fantastic expression changes.

When I climax, I'm a
different person altogether-

= [Jim] Right, I can tell.

Thank you very much.

(knocking)

= Hi.

= Hi Michelle.

= See, this is Ingrid.

I came prepared.

= [Mike] Michelle,
you are beautiful.

= Hi.

= Hi.

= [Michelle] Say, is this
another one of those loops?

= Oh no, this one has a story.

Go over the story
with her, Mike.

= [Mike] This is
an office scene.

We do some balling on a desk.

= Yeah, go over the
story with me Mike.

= You're from Big Sur?

= All over-

Originally from Europe.

(speaking French)

= You ever done anything
like this before?

= No, I'm a virgin.

= Hairspray, you use hairspray.

= You don't like girls
who use hairspray?

= Yeah.

= The real Ingrid.

= Beautiful.

And you pull that
one and they'll be

another one underneath

that and another one
underneath that, right?

Then you come all
apart and disappear-

I get the message,
I get the picture.

= I've been down
here for awhile.

Thought I'd get myself
some work down here.

My old man is
trying to find work.

He's a musician.

Anyway, I hope you're not
going to have me fill out

an application.

One place, I fill out
a form, where it says,

place of last employment, I put,

Screw Films Corporation.

And that owl did a real
straight, you know,

he just about had a coronary.

And this was at a
Bank ofAmerica.

They had just been bombed
about a week before

so everybody was real uptight.

I'm going to make a collage
out of these questioners.

So, when do I start working?

= Oh, I'll have to
check out the schedule.

= Sure, tomorrow's okay.

Ready to go?

= I'll let you know, okay?

= Hey, I'm really good.

Oh, I almost forgot,
here's some pictures.

= Bye Michelle.

Ingrid.

You wanna use her?

She looks great.

= She's beautiful.

She has a sensitivity, there's
something there with her-

= Uh oh.

Do I detect a new
look to you, Jim?

Yes, I believe you're
actually thinking

about balling that chick.

Finally it's happened.

How bout a drink?

The Quebec separatist
is about to separate.

My God.

Well, you just let
father Michael here

tell you about life.

I mean, it's okay,
don't feel guilty.

After a couple years
of marriage, well,

you've talked about everything
you'll ever talk about.

Nothing new is going to change,

no matter what your dreams are.

In short, there's a
deadness to the whole thing.

= When you get married,
send me the program.

Have a good day, Mary.

= Ingrid's really down.

You're not gonna use her
for anything are you?

She really needs the money.

= Yeah but what
about her old man?

Can't she get any
money from him?

= Who Johnny?

= Yeah, the guy in
camper she showed me

the pictures of him.

= Are you kidding?

That shmuck?

He lets her wash his socks
once a month with her money.

= [Surveillance]
Surveillance report 281 ,

suspect seen in the company of

an identified female Caucasian.

Both parties are engaged
in conversation outside

photographic studio
at 1 71 4 Walter Place.

Suspect driving off.

Female suspect
reentering premisice

(phone ringing)

= I'll get it.

Hello?

Just a minute.

It's for you, it's a girl.

= Yeah?

Hey look, how did
you get this number?

It's one of the models
looking for some work.

= I don't like her calling here.

= How'd you get
this number, Ingrid?

= I went through a lot
of trouble getting it.

Don't be mad.

= I'm not mad.

= Look, I'd really like to
get into some work right now.

= I have to be
straight with you,

I don't relish the idea of
seeing ball some guy from money.

I just think you can
do better than that.

= You're very nice.

Was that your wife who
answered the phone?

= Look Ingrid I==

= I'm sorry.

I just need the
money really badly.

I don't mind the work.

It's less than nothing to me.

= Come down to the
set in the morning,

I'll see what I can do.

= Thanks.

= Right.

(heavy breathing)

(moaning)

= Thanks man.

= Good job, Bill.

How bout a ride home?

= Sure.

= Jim.

= Let's go to a motel.

= I'd like that.

(soft musi)

= Hey, not bad.

A little bit
plastic, but not bad.

Even the soap is
covered and the glasses

have monogrammed
sterilized baggies.

And the toilet seat has
necessary sanitized covering.

= Yeah well, here have
some wine, Ingrid.

= Thank you.

Oh wow.

Look at all these postcards.

= The guy that plants those
in motel rooms monograms

the baggies and
sterilized glasses.

It's all a plot.

= Yeah, right.

Do you mind if I write
these cards to some friends?

I've got some people up North.

I'll be with you in a moment.

(shower running)

= Hey you coming in here?

Come on. (screams)

= Oh man, you're crazy.

= You said you like taking
showers together-

= Oh wow man.

Oh man.

= You're beautiful.

= Oh man, this is too much.

= I'm so sorry
about your clothes.

Come on, let's get you dried up.

(soft musi)

= Hi.

= Hi.

Sorry I'm late.

= The back of your neck is wet.

= I stopped off at
Mike's and took a shower-

= Oh.

= Good night.

= [Lisa] Good night.

= Look at this, love.

It's beginning to look
like the Hollywood Freeway

at five o'clock.

What a bloody shame.

= Hey!

I've been on the phone trying
to get you two all morning.

I even dared to go
down to the boat yard.

Did you read about
the president's

magnificent commission

that came out last night?

Good for us.

= I thought you two were
together last night?

= Yeah, it came out
on the late news,

after you left, Jim.

I'm having a party
at my place later on.

Got some crazy engineering
people I'd like you to meet.

Typical philistines, I'm
trying to get some juice

out of them for my feature.

Some loose juice.

= Okay, we'll come up.

= Now these
philistines don't know

what we do for money, Jim.

They think we're on a news team.

They're the most
incredible pseudo types.

= Go if you want, love.

I'd have to get a
sitter, you know.

= What's the matter?

= [Lisa] Nothing.

= Leave her with your
neighbor across the street.

Come on, Lis.

How can you people ride
around all day in the sun?

It's very damaging to the skin.

On second thought.

Miss, I've just arrived
in town and am homeless.

= Eat it, Jack.

= Promises, promises.

= Celebration of the
liberation of the porno film.

Sounds great.

I'll change.

= You want a scotch?

= No thanks, I have to go,
I'm meeting this chick.

= Banana.

Rape.

(laughs)

= Harry, don't do those bananas.

Always playing the clown.

Michael's script
is very immediate.

Harry loves it.

It has a nice quality.

People are turning
back to lightness.

Quote Charles
Champlin, LA Times.

Lisa, would you
like another drink?

= No, no thanks.

(jazz musi)

= Listen, you and Jim
have to come over-

Every Friday night, we have
slides and we get stoned.

= You want my onion?

It ruins my mouthwash.

= Well.

= Half of Charlie and Harry's
office at systems get stoned.

Stoned systems. (laughs)

You'd never know they make
fragmentation grenades.

Vietnam by the gram.

= Here let me.

= How you doing?

Bout ready to go?

= Oh no, I'm doing
very good now.

= Yeah, well I can see that.

I'm about finished
with these people.

Let's go home and go to bed.

I mean, I'm just about
to say something here.

= It's hard to perceive
you and Mike are straights.

= Oh god yes, straights,
that's right. (laughs)

= Well that's funny.

Here's Mike celebrating
the president's commission,

coming out for pornography.

= Oh when I met her last night,

she come to say mama and dada.

= That commission is, it
has a sense of reality.

It's unbelievable they
would but it's about time

because I like pornography,
it turns me on.

= You like it huh?

See you didn't do it.

= Yeah but don't you think
pornography's damaging,

especially to young minds.

I think it's an indication
of the subsurface decay

of our society.

= You really believe that?

You don't believe that.

= But, what would
you do, for instance,

if you daughter were to
make pornographic films?

Would you like people to pay
money to see her up there,

on a widescreen?

= Well if I had a daughter
and if it were her thing,

well it depends on
how you raise your--

= I might not mind
watching that.

= Oh fine.

You'd like to see
her with some guy,

maybe two or three
guys, socking it to her-

Beautiful.

= Maybe you're right.

= Ah yes, but nobody forces
anybody to work in those movies.

It's freedom of choice.

And after all, you
know, it's not that bad,

people making love, you know,
bodies mingling together-

Some of those films
are really well made.

I know a couple of guys that
have integrity in their work.

= It's not love, it's an
abuse of the human body.

There's no feeling,
there's no love.

= I don't know where I stand.

= It's all shit.

Don't you see?

There's nothing, there's
absolutely nothing.

= Hey love, love?

I was just kidding.

Hey.

= Let's go home now, okay?

Let's go home.

I don't know why you had
to keep going on like that.

= How do you feel?

= Games, there are games
going on with those people.

= Right.

= Right and all those
things are happening to you.

Oh shit, I lost my necklace.

= You're completely stoned.

= What was the whole pretense
about, I know a couple

of guys?

I mean, why didn't
you just come out

and tell those
people what you did.

= Because it's our private life.

= Oh yeah, our life.

= You were really
serious with those people.

You really were.

You didn't say anything about it

when I started
making those films.

= I didn't know.

= Well you're eating
off of it, love.

And you drive a car
off of the money,

we're building a boat
off of the money.

= You've gotten so, into a
completely indifferent thing.

It's==

= I know, I know,
it's deadspace.

Alright, let's go
back to the way it was

a couple of years ago in

that crummy one room Hollywood
apartment and driving

that beat up VW and
playing games, the games of

the deeply happy street
people actors and eating

a lot of rice and
potatoes and fighting

the phone company because
they kept shutting off

the god damn service.

= No, we're trapped.

Well maybe I could
save us some money.

I mean, why don't you put
me in one of your movies?

I was gonna be a
good actress once.

I can move my butt around.

How's this for a beaver shot.

= Oh.

You're completely stoned.

= Well, come on.

You could put our
daughter in it eventually,

I mean, keep it in the family.

= Shut up.

You god damn don't like it

then let's forget the boat.

Look at us.

What are we doing here?

What are we fighting about?

= What's a matter?

Don't you like me to get angry?

I don't feel too good.

I'm gonna go next
door and get the baby.

= [Tv] And now, our
late news recap.

This afternoon, the sheriff's
department conducted surprise

raids on several theaters

showing alleged hardcore
pornographic films.

Some managers and several
patrons were taken

into custody and the
films were confiscated.

Also in the news, President
Nixon's new economic program

was revealed today.

= Sorry, no go Mike.

= It's three, it's
three big ones, Freddy.

= I tell you two of
my place got the bust.

The pigs came in and bust
wide open two places for me.

A customer had a heart attack

and the insurance is after me.

I come to you and I say
with all my friendship

and say, Mike we do business
and you know I'm good for it.

But I don't got no prints.

What about you replace
the prints the pigs took?

= No replacements, Freddy.

You want the new stuff or not?

= Two grand only.

= He must be the
Fatman's brother, Mike.

I tell you, they've
got to be brothers.

= Well, what you
want Freddy to do?

You know me, I don't rip nobody

but those pigs,
nobody protect Freddy.

= Alright, okay, forget it.

= Oh, I need to tell you.

No black girl in here?

= No.

= Good.

I don't want no more.

They go over no good
for me in Florida.

It's a region of preference.

Thank you Mike.

Jim.

= [Mike] Let's go
down to the lab

and pick up those new
negatives and print.

= Why not?

= They just left, just now.

= What's going on
with this bust?

What good did the
commissions ruling do us?

This is beautiful,
we're getting fried.

And they took all the negatives?

Every single one of them?

= Took 'em, they
took everything.

It's election time, the
politicians want everybody

to think they're doing
a good job taking care

of business.

= What about the vault?

= That's the first
place they went.

I should have known to
open up Benny's van line

and transfer the stuff the
minute they started fixing

the streets in the neighborhood.

As it is, I'm getting
an injunction now so

they'll have to
give the stuff back.

= Let us know if and
when, Benny, huh?

= You've got my word.

= Okay.

= Too bad we can't
sell our fingers.

= I think we better sit
out for a couple of weeks.

= Yeah, two weeks.

= Just until things get
glued back around here.

I'll call the crew.

= Sure.

= Benny will get
the stuff back.

We'll go from there.

Besides, two weeks R and
R won't hurt you, my man.

= [Surveillance]
Surveillance report 281 ,

suspect and accomplice,
male Caucasian, file 282,

in conversation outside
film laboratory where raid

was conducted on 920.

Accomplish and subject
leaving separately.

= Now of course you stand
a chance at getting busted

on a 311 and Nixon
coming out against

the commission didn't
exactly produce cries

of ecstasy in some corners.

The courts throw out
most of the cases.

Only thing is, you gotta have
a lot of money stuffed away

because they put you
up against the wall

and they clean you
out through harassment

and setting high
bails, all that.

= Well what do you think Chris?

= Have you got the
negatives and prints back

from the lab?

= It's such a random thing.

The business may go
on for some time.

And then everything
gets busted wide open.

Then everything cools off.

There's no form,
no reason to it.

You take your chances gentlemen,

however, I will
handle your cases.

= [Jim] I say let's
go on with it.

= Jim, I wanted
you to hear that,

about the hassle and the
money right from Chris.

You've got nothing stacked away.

You've got everything
in that barge.

= Well that's my problem anyway,

you've got everything
in that feature.

= Yeah but, I'm covered.

I'm getting some backing
from those philistines.

I worry about you.

= Well I worry about you too,

what are they getting?

50, 60 percent of your film?

Nobody can take anything,
any percent of my boat.

= Yeah but if we get
busted, no percent

of nothing is nothing==

= Look, I don't wanna hear
those negative feelings,

it won't happen to us.

Look, I wanna get it
finished and goodbye.

Okay, action.

Oh moans and groans,
action, real loud.

(moaning)

Okay Ingrid, get in the shot.

Maria, more expressions.

= I'm picking you up on sound.

= Okay Dave, hold it now, Dave.

Okay Ingrid, move
to her, touch her,

move in for a kiss.

= Hey you're on the
soundtrack too much, man.

= Watch your levels
asshole, that's your job.

= Alright, alright, cut, cut-=

= What?

= Look it's been a full day.

It's getting too
hassled around here.

= Larry, this is the
ultimate, this is fine.

But don't come back tomorrow,
okay Michael'll give

you some bread.

Wrap it up.

Tomorrow morning
nine o'clock, none of

that usual 9:30 routine, okay?

= [All] Okay.

= You have some time?

I'd like to talk to you.

= I'm going down to my boat.

(engine roaring)

= Hello?

Wow.

= Hi.

= What's happening with you?
- What are you doing here?

= I haven't had a chance
to talk to you these days.

This is too much.

= I'm not gonna ask you
how you found this place.

= I guess it was a one
time deal with us then.

We have our own scenes, right?

= Yes.

(phone ringing)

= Hello?

No he's not Mike.

Well he's probably
down at the boat.

= Can you get to him quick?

I'll be at home.

Have him call me.

= Okay, bye.

= What do you do?

I mean, what is
it made of, wood?

= It's a fairly new process,

it's called ferrocement.

= Cement?

How can it float?

= It floats.

It better float
because I've put over

a year and a half
of my life into it.

(birds chirping)

= Tell me where you are
going in this cement ship.

Give me like the 1 0 cent tour-

= The tour, huh?

Well, there's a hell
of a lot out here.

Hi love.

Had a good day?

= I came down to the boat.

I said I came down to the
boat to tell you Mike called.

That was the girl, right?

= What?

She's a model.

You mean at the boat?

= She's very beautiful,
I can see how

you'd enjoy balling her-

= Now wait a minute, Liz.

= I said I can
see how you would.

= I haven't been
balling that girl.

= There's only one
girl around here

you haven't been balling.

I suppose there have
been other times

with these models
of yours, right?

= Oh that's what you've
been carrying around.

You've actually been==

= How many other times?

= No other times.

= Come on, Jim.

= Why are you fantasizing?

You're jealous of some
poor pathetic girl

around whom you're
building a fantasy.

= Oh come off it.

Stop turning around to
where it's my problem.

You're the one that's
balling her, not me.

= What do you want from me?

The girl needs
somebody to talk to,

she's just a poor
screwed up little--

= Okay Freud.

What are you we gonna
do about this, huh?

What are we gonna do?

= About what?

What is going on?

Alright, I've been balling her-

You want me to say I've
made it with her, okay.

Is that what you want, fine.

Right on.

= I'll tell you what I want.

I want you to quit making
these films for Mike.

Yeah, I would be happy
to go back a year,

a year and a half ago, away from

the rip offs, the
possibility of being busted

and everything coming
apart, away from

the way you are now.

= Look, it isn't this fast.

It isn't this grand.

What's going on?

Can't you give me a little help?

Things are tough now but,

look, we're still very
close, Liz, we're very close.

= Jim, we are so
close to nothing.

(knocks)

Christ, where have you been?

= Go outside, Mike.

= They busted Joe Gilano's.

= Wait outside, will you?

= They busted Gilano?

Oh god.

Now you can quit.

Now it's all over, it has
to be, it's too close.

= Stop acting like a
middle class bitch.

You better make your mind
up about what you want.

Look, a couple more
films and we're clear-

= Maybe I have to get straight.

I mean, maybe.

Okay, I just can't do it
here, I've got to go away.

I'll take the baby.

What if something happens?

What if you get busted?

We're going to Ellen's, I
just can't think straight now,

love.

= Love, I didn't
mean saying that.

Look, a few more
films and we're free.

You're freaking over nothing.

Please Lisa.

= The files.

We have to pull the files.

Close down the place.

= Yeah, okay.

= What happened?

= Nothing.

This thing, she'll be back.

Let's go.

(bongo musi)

= Everything out?

= Yeah.

And this is a note
for our land lady.

Dr Mrs. Morrison, the
present state of the economy

has forced us into
an austerity program.

Hope we can do
business again after

the next presidential election.

I'll leave it on the door-

= Okay.

= Wait.

= What?

= We can still use this place.

I mean, cleaned up like this.

= Oh.

= Well, nobody can
draw any conclusions

from an empty office,
an empty sound stage.

Why should we have people
come into our place man,

we can still use this thing.

Look, we are still safe.

I mean, nobody can
get to use if we're

in locations like
when we started.

Let's go for broke, now, fast.

= Look Jim, I'm a little
different position now.

= What you're a
different position,

you're in it with me.

= I got the backing
for my script.

Papers just have to
be signed, that's all.

I have to step out is
what I'm trying to say,

be in the background,
a silent partner maybe.

I can't physically help
you with what you want

to do anymore.

I have to step out.

= Okay, okay.

I can keep it together-

I don't need you.

There's still some
good markets left.

San Francisco, Hawaii.

God damn it, Mike.

I've got two third of a 50,000
dollar ship sitting there.

I got a hull sitting there.

= I have to step out.

= Okay.

Okay.

= What can I say?

= [Jim] Hi Michelle.

= [Michelle] Hi Jim.

= Okay no phone
calls, nobody phones.

It might have a tap on them.

Go over to Joe's
place, then we'll meet

in Sear's parking lot and go
to the location from there.

I don't think
anything could happen,

won't take chances.

= Sure, okay.

= Bye.

= Bye.

(moaning)

(bongo musi)

= [Surveillance]
Surveillance report 281 ,

suspect engaged in renting
photographic equipment.

= Who's that guy
across the street?

= What guy?

= He's got a 1 6 board U and
he's been taking pictures

of us ever since you walked in.

= What?

Let me see that.

= [Surveillance] Uh
oh, we've been spotted.

= Let me have that eclair
for tomorrow, Jack.

= Okay.

(moaning)

(bongo musi)

= [Surveillance]
Surveillance report 281 ,

suspect is approaching
photographic studio at 1 7.

Suspect is leaving vehicle
and taking a large box

out of trunk of car-

Suspect proceeding to front
entrance, we are still rolling.

= Come on, it's two
grand for the prints.

Do we have to go
through these games?

= Where's your better
half, your partner?

= We have a deal here, right?

No bullshit rip offs.

= Take it or leave it.

= Hey, there's only 1 ,000 here.

The deal is for two grand.

I need two grand.

= You boys are in
trouble out here

and I'll tell you
something else.

Pretty soon, we
ain't gonna need you

because we theater
owners are gonna make

our own films.

You boys owe me there.

= Get out.

= You god damn kids.

= Christ, I'm getting evicted.

(engine roaring)

(upbeat musi)

(phone ringing)

= [Jim] Hello?

= Hi.

= Hi Liz, hello love.

= I just wanted to say hello.

How are you?

= [Jim] How are you?

How's baby?

= We're fine, we're both good.

I've gotten myself straight.

I miss you.

I love you, I wanna come home.

= I miss you too,
love, I miss you.

God, if you knew what happened
to me in the last few days.

I had a fight with
one of the buyers,

threw him out of the office
and they're kicking everybody

out of the boat yard.

I don't know, it's
been sold or something.

I guess they got tired
of seeing my face around

there for a year and a half.

Great list I'm giving
you there, right?

= Yeah.

= The ship is sitting
out in the water,

at the Marina, yeah.

It's unbelievable, it's
pointed right out to sea.

= Oh I'm coming down.

= Look love, I've
gotta tell you.

I closed in everything on myself

and I've set up shooting
of the last couple of films

at the house.

Mike is out of it,
it's just me now

and it's the only
way I can do it.

I don't wanna involve
you in that, love

so you know, just wait
a little bit okay.

I'll do it quick,
get it over with

and then we'll just erase it.

Look, we'll be
together and everything

that went before
just won't exist.

= [Lisa] What if the cops?

= No, no way.

Things are cooling down now.

I'll tell you, you
were right staying away

but that ship is
sitting out there

and it has to be finished.

= Okay.

But I do love you
and I miss you.

And I'm sorry I left you.

It was wrong, it was my fault.

= No, don't say that, love.

No, no, it's alright.

= I shouldn't have
left you like that

because you needed me then.

= Everything's alright, I know.

= [Lisa] I was paranoid.

= I know, I love
you, I love you.

(moaning and heavy breathing)

(dramatic musi)

(bongo musi)

(moaning)

= Police officers, you're
under arrest, everybody hold.

= You got a warrant?

= You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say will
be held against you.

You are entitled
to legal council.

= Nice try.

We got so much film on you,
it's just another grain

on a beach full of sand.

(bongo musi)

= That's not your hair-

= Pig.

(police sirens)

= You don't have to do that.

You've been busting too many
dopers and whores lately.

They're real obscene pictures.

Thanks for the sample.

I suppose you have
my phone bugged.

Couple of guys following me.

So tell me what
you're doing with it,

I'd be glad to save
my garbage for you.

= One count of indecent
exposure, resisting arrest,

conspiracy to commit oral copulation

destruction of evidence.

Oh don't worry, you'll get off.

They'll never convict
you, you've got the courts

on your side,
you'll go through fast like prunes.

= Then what's the point?

Why waste tax payer's money?

= Because, we wanna
get you back in line.

Back in line with
the average guy.

You're gonna stay in line too.

Oh this is gonna cost
you plenty DeSalle

Bail, lawyers, appeals.

It's gonna cost you
other things too, DeSalle

You're always gonna be
looking over your shoulder

because we might be back
there checking on you.

You see, we don't
think guys like you

that deal in obscenities
contribute anything

to the community.

= Well I've got news for you,

it's the community that
comes to see what I do.

Nobody forces them.

Nobody grabs them and
throw them in a car

and then strong arm
them into a theater-

The only obscene thing
is this proceeding.

= Alright, can he
go now lieutenant?

= Take off.

We'll be watching
your ass, DeSalle

= Well watch me, okay?

I certainly wouldn't
want to frustrate

your compulsion
to invade privacy.

Watch me in the
middle of the ocean

because that's
where I'm gonna be.

Me, my wife and my kid.

Away from the average
guy who lets people

like you control him.

Free from getting back in line.

I don't like officials
loaded over me.

Your menu sucks.

= Get out of here, DeSalle

And stay on dry land so you
can make your arranment, okay?

(upbeat musi)

= You know, love, here I was,

going through all the
money grubbing assholes,

behaving just like the people
that cop wanted me to be like,

that is being in line.

The whole thing is so ironic.

(upbeat folk musi)

It's gonna take some time
but I promise you this,

we'll get what we want, love.

We'll make it, we'll
get the boat finished

and it'll be like the
beginning of our real life,

out there on the seven seas

and all the bad time will
have never existed at all.

(upbeat folk musi)
