Guy and Madeline on a Park Bench (2009) - full transcript

After connecting with the shy Madeline, a jazz trumpeter embarks on a quest for a more gregarious paramour, but through a series of twists and turns punctuated by an original score, the two lovers seem destined to be together.

[lullaby music]

Yep.

And then you put

Relax your pinky,

[trumpet]

[water running]

[traffic]

[jazz music]

[club music]

- Now that's what

I'm talking about.

Just turn their stereos up

as loud as they want to.

It's amazing down here

'cause it's like a tunnel

so the volume that I'm

talkin' at right now

could be heard if the

window's open upstairs.

It's really interesting.

It's like you never hear

anybody blasting Coltrane.

Or some Charlie Parker,

or some Billie Holiday,

or some Bach cantatas,

or like a Mahler symphony.

It's always [beat boxing]

somethin' like that, you know?

I don't know, maybe a day

will come when we'll hear

all types of music

being blasted.

[birds]

[soft instrumental music]

- Well Moreen and

I are really happy

that you decided to come here.

- Well thank you.

I think it's going to

work out really well.

- [Jerry] How 'bout

your boyfriend, he...

any major decisions?

- Oh, I don't have a boyfriend.

- [Jerry] Don't have one?

- No.

- [Jerry] Be able

to get a career

and work days easier.

How 'bout your night life?

Friends to go out with?

- Yeah, I have friends, I

have graduate school friends.

- [Jerry] Are they

still in the area?

- Most of them are.

Yeah.

- [Jerry] Now there's

even Boston area,

you get down to New York

that Acela train get ya

down there in three hours.

- Yeah, I suppose.

I've never been to New York.

- Well you better

bring someone with ya,

who's been around.

[mid tempo music]

[loud crowd]

- How'd you get into this band?

Did you have some

favorite trumpet people?

Any big names?

- [Voiceover] He's shy.

- Yeah, I like Clifford Brown.

- [Old man] Oh, Clifford Brown?

[loud crowd]

- That reminds me

of my favorite lyric

from Sweet Serenade.

Love in the fall, there

ain't no lovin' at all.

June's curtain drops

the romance stops.

♪ And so I bright and spry ♪

♪ My lonely lover's eye ♪

♪ We'll search under the leaves ♪

[low talking]

- [Voiceover] I did

find that I'd mingle,

and then in the end I'm like,

"I just wanna hang

out with my friends."

So my take on that was

neither here nor there.

[water running]

[slow music]

[foreign speaking]

[mumbled conversations]

[slow music]

Hey, hi, how are you?

Would you like

some flowers today?

[foreign speaking]

- Oh they're beautiful.

No, no thank you.

- Are you sure?

- Yes, please.

- Come on, we gotta

give you the rose.

- No.

- It's a bad day already,

we'll give you some rose

and make it go good, right?

What color you like?

- [Madeline] They're

all beautiful.

- I give you the pink.

- No, no.

- [Florist] Come on,

it's on the house.

It's on the house.

- That's very nice of you.

Thank you.

I'm not going to

charge you any money.

Aw, you have a nice day.

[Guy] Have a long

distance relationship?

- I'll try anything once.

What I been trying hadn't

been working lately, so.

Last girl I dated, man,

it kinda left a little sour spot

in my stomach as far as women,

for a little while till I

could fully get over her.

[drums]

What you wanna do

is hold it like this,

so you can give it...

Basically a third

of the way through,

so you kinda go like this.

And the rest of the fingers

are just for support.

- Okay.

And here, this one's easier,

you do it through,

between the four fingers

and here the thumb

to give it support.

[drums]

[slow music]

I'm getting my hair

cut here actually.

- Which one?

[heavy traffic]

Oh, okay.

So I should probably get in there.

- Okay, then I can just

wait out here for you.

- Are you sure?

It takes probably

close to an hour.

[Man in sunglasses] I'm a receptionist

so it's my job to wait.

- Okay.

Alright, well I should

probably get my bag.

[Man in sunglasses] Oh oh, oh alright.

- Okay.

like to use hairspray,

unless you like me to.

What do you think?

Or if have you

Maybe tonight is the night.

How's that?

You like it?

kind she said they were.

Chocolate chip shortie.

Here's one for you.

Good thing it's crushed.

When I was getting my hair cut

I realized I have an

appointment tonight.

while I was in there.

I was looking at you.

Just wondering...

Just wondering if you'd like

to sit down and talk a little?

Look, I know what

you're thinking.

I know what you're thinking.

I'm not one of those.

I swear to god.

I spent half my life

chasing people like that.

I'm a cop, a retired cop.

Look, look, see, see.

Look, look, see.

I'm not a sexual

predator, I'm a cop.

I just...

When I see you, you

remind me of myself.

Maybe you'd just

like to talk, huh?

- No, I gotta...

- Look.

I spend so much time, walking

around here by myself,

so I'd really like to make

ya sit down and talk with me.

- Why are you walking

around here by yourself?

Where's like your

family and your...

- I have a wife, I'm not...

- House and car and... [laughs]

- I have all that stuff.

My wife, she travels a lot.

And I don't get to talk to her.

She's in a different

time zone most the time.

And my daughter is 12 years old

and I'm sick and tired of

talking about Britney Spears

and Lindsay Lohan.

I'd like to talk to an adult.

I was just thinking maybe

we could sit down and talk?

I'll buy you a cup of coffee.

Huh?

- I don't really drink coffee.

- Okay.

- Frank, was that

your name, Frank?

- Yes, it was.

What's your name?

- I'm Elena.

- Yeah, I'll buy

you a cup of coffee,

I thought you were over

your friend's house?

This is my friend, Elena.

Alma, this is my daughter, Alma.

Elena, come on in.

You should call me, honey.

You should call me, because

I don't know what's going on.

I see...

I don't know who's in the house.

- Frank, should I...

- No, please, everything's

fine, everything's alright.

Please, sit down.

- Al, this is my friend, Elena.

I met her through work

a couple weeks ago.

I don't think you know Elena.

What are you making, a sandwich?

- [Alma] Yeah.

- I'll make the sandwich.

Just sit down, sit down.

Go 'head, sit down,

I'll take care of it.

You sound the alarm

before you come in?

Did you take the paper in?

I'm gonna make you a sandwich.

You want mayonnaise?

test last week.

'Member you got the A in...

Tell her about it.

Very good.

Very good.

When she started, not

but when she started

she wasn't really good.

Tell her about that.

Remember?

You and the other girl were

the only two that got the A's.

Remember that, remember that?

- That's pretty good.

When I was in the 6th Grade.

It was definitely that

friends were scarce.

I only had two friends

and we were always being

mean to each other.

But we had fun the

rest of the time.

- [Frank] Pick up your

room like I told you to?

If we went up, pick up the room?

- [Alma] No.

Can I call?

- No, no, no, no.

We'll wait till tomorrow.

She may be sleeping,

I don't know.

We'll wait till tomorrow.

probably a time difference.

- Yeah, yeah.

There is a time

difference, in fact.

What's that game you told

me, the other day, to play?

The game, what's that game?

Come on, questions.

So who should go first?

up with this like nothing.

- Where do you think he's from?

- I think he was a President.

- [Alma] Was he a President?

- [Frank] He was a President.

- [Elena] I think he was a

President in the last century.

- In the last century?

No, he wasn't President

in the last century.

- [Elena] Oh well no,

in the 19th century.

- No.

- Did he have wooden teeth?

- [Frank] He did.

weren't wooden.

They were porcelain.

Where are you playing at now, man?

- [Guy] No address,

no phone number, nothing?

- [Jerry] Where you playin' man?

- [Moreen] You

should go to New York

and you'll run

into her, you know?

- [Voiceover]

Entering Charles MGH.

[crowds softly talking]

Hey!

- [Madeline] Hi!

This is where you work.

I knew it was around

here somewhere.

- Yeah, this is the place.

- Oh, it's our girlfriend!

Hi, dear!

- Good to see you.

- [Moreen] The cat's miss you.

- Yes, well.

- [Jerry] This guy

came by the house

and I thought I'd

seen him before

he's actually a

trumpeter, jazz trumpeter.

And he wanted to

know where you were.

- Oh really?

- [Moreen] Yeah, we told

him New York, New York,

and that's it.

- [Jerry] The big apple, yeah.

- [Moreen] And he just

scurried right off.

- [Jerry] He was really upset.

You know, I kept

telling him I knew him

down in the south end,

but he didn't want

to talk about it.

He's just interesting in

finding out where you were.

- [Moreen] Yeah,

so, we didn't know

what we should tell him or not,

so anyway.

- [Jerry] Does that

make sense to you?

- Yeah, sure.

- [Moreen] Okay.

- You know what, I actually

have to get inside.

- [Moreen] Okay, alright.

- But it was good to see you.

- [Moreen] Okay.

- Okay.

- [Moreen] Put some

extra fries on our plate.

- Okay, bye again.

[light instrumental music]

[couple mumbling]

- You told me you're

sitting at a party

and you let some guy come

up and give you a kiss.

- Yeah, you know

what, you're right.

- You didn't try to stop him?

You just sat there and

you let him kiss you?

- I didn't know it

was gonna happen, man.

- [Jerry] Honey,

I know how it is.

I'm out of words.

I can't believe you're

just hangin' around

letting anybody come

up and kiss you.

[Moreen] I worry that nobody's ever

gonna kiss me again.

[Jerry] Honey...

I'm here for that.

You don't have to go looking around town.

- [Moreen] Yeah, you're here for people to

serve you food and

give you checks.

That's how they get noticed.

I don't get noticed.

I'm going there

tomorrow at 12 o'clock,

maybe I'll get kissed again.

- [Jerry] Well, if you

do, I'm going with you.

- [Moreen] No, you're not.

- [Jerry] I wanna see

this guy who walks up

to you out of nowhere.

Madeline, after

you take that out

all of those write outs

get thrown away too,

and just sweet and

mop out the walk-in,

and there's a couple

more dishes and pots

gonna need washed, okay?

Oh, you have to

keep your hair up.

[dumpster lids slamming]

[distant traffic and honking]

[door unlocking]

It's messy.

[Guy] It's kinda empty

in here, are you moving?

Where are you moving to?

- New York, actually.

I'm getting out of here tonight.

- What's takin' you there?

Did you find a job or somethin'?

- No, I met Paul,

a guy I met in New York.

I'm going to the station

in about 20 minutes or so,

so I don't have much time.

Can I get you something?

- No, I'm fine.

So, what does Paul do?

Is he a musician, or?

No, he's not a musician.

He doesn't really even

like jazz that much.

He's more of a classical

music kind of guy.

- What's he into like

Bach, Brahms, Tchaikovsky?

- [Madeline] Yeah, all

that kind of stuff.

I see you have this

Moseley record in here.

Did you check it out?

- Hm?

Oh yeah, yeah.

You like it?

- Oh, yeah, I really enjoyed it.

It's great.

Yeah, I really need

to get out of here.

- Yeah, well, I

have a gig tonight.

I might hang out

with some ladies

who are coming to

the gig tonight.

[Madeline] So, you're still playing?

- Yeah, I been playing.

Trying to stay busy, you know?

Have you written much lately or?

[Guy] Somewhat.

I've been working

on a few songs.

I've been working on a

ballad that I really like.

[paper crumpling]

Would you like to hear it?

- [Madeline] Um, you

know, I've really

got to get to the station.

I'm just really in

a rush right now.

- Really, it won't take long.

- Um.
