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]

[jazz music]

Yep.

And then you put
your pinky here.

Here, relax your pinky.

Relax your pinky,
relax your pinky,

Wow, okay.

I mean considering...

[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 ♪

♪ For a love that ♪
♪ blinks and breathes ♪

♪ Here I am ♪

♪ In the fall ♪

♪ There ain't no lovin' at all ♪

♪ Red branches ♪

♪ And below ♪

♪ They come and go ♪

♪ In their foot, in they go ♪

♪ Seek and ye shall find. ♪

[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.

And find Mr. Right.

What do you think?

Or if have you

Maybe tonight is the night.

How's that?

You like it?

chip shortie or something.

I think that's what
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.

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,

Now, you're gettin'

I thought you were over
your friend's house?

- She got sick.

- Oh okay.

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?

- Yeah.

- [Frank] Alright, alright,
sit down, sit down.

I'm gonna make you a sandwich.

You want mayonnaise?

Huh?

Tell her about that
test last week.

'Member you got the A in...

Tell her about it.

Very good.

Very good.

When she started, not
that I even gotta tell ya,

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] Pretty much.

- [Frank] Alright,
make sure you do

before you go to bed, alright?

- [Alma] Okay.

- Mama call, honey?

- [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.

- [Elena] Yeah, there's
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?

I'm always going first, alright.

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.

- You know who it is, right?

- [Alma] Yeah.

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.
