To Find a Man (1972) - full transcript

The platonic friendship between two high school youths is explored through the attempts to get the girl an abortion. Her young male friend offers his support and tries to find her a doctor. She is grateful, but has trouble in expressing her thanks. At times funny, at other times touching, this is a refreshing, uncommon look at teenage friendship.

(CHOIR SINGING)

* Oh come
all ye faithful

* Joyful and triumphant

* Oh, come ye,

* Oh, come ye to Bethlehem

* Come and behold Him

* For the King of angels

* Oh, come let us adore Him

* Oh, come let us adore Him

* Oh, come let us adore Him

* Christ, the Lord



(SINGING CONTINUES)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

-Did you get it?
-Shh.

MAXINE: Castor oil?

I can't drink all this.

That's the dumbest thing
I ever heard.

That's what
the cleaning lady said to do.

Take some more.

Ugh! I can't...

(BELL RINGING)

All you need are a couple
of your father's
heart attack pills,

and the baby
falls right out.

My father doesn't
take heart attack pills.

Wait till he finds out
you're pregnant.



I heard that
if you bake
grapefruit,

not one grapefruit

but a whole lot of grapefruits

for about an hour
and eat the
white stuff inside

if you peel the white stuff
and you eat it

and it gets you real sick
and you have an abortion.

Where've you been?

We nearly got caught.

I sure hope this
makes more sense

than all the other dumb
things I've been doing.

I don't know
from practical experience.

I'm just telling
you what the sewing
woman said.

Won't the bubbles tickle?

It's the sugar or something.

Maybe some kind
of chemical in the cola part

makes the membranes expand.

The cervix opens up

and the baby falls out.

What if it opens up
in the middle of chapel?

It's supposed
to open up right away.

It seems crazy to me.

When do you leave
for Acapulco?

Three or four days, I think.

And then you come
right back to school.

Don't you think I know that?

(CAR HONKING)

How are you, Mrs. McCarthy?

Very well.
Thank you, sister.

-Hiya sweetie,
how are you?
-I'm okay.

You look terrific,
I think you lost weight,
didn't you?

Hiya sweetie, my baby.

You hate that, right?
You hate that, uh.

Get the bags,
girls, okay?

You're taking Maxine with you
today, Mrs. McCarthy?

Yes. Actually her mother
was supposed to
pick them up this time

but she's an actress
and their schedules
are so irregular.

Goodbye, Sister.
Have a happy holiday.

-Bye, sister.
-Good bye, sister.

Good bye, sister.

Merry Christmas.
Happy holiday.

Come on, girls.
Hurry up, get the bags in.

(CAR ENGINE STARTS)

Do you like school, Maxine?

It's all right.

Is Rosalind behaving herself?

How could I not behave myself?
They watch you every minute
like a prison.

Any time you want to,
my darling,

you can come home
to the muggers
in Central Park.

(WHISTLES)

(MOTORCYCLE REVVING)

Okay, button your blouse.

For God sakes, mother,
I can't help it

if I've got big boobs.

A more dignified word
might be breasts.

Tch.

Sorry, darling, you
can give me all the dirty
looks you want.

There's no way
you can provoke me.

What did I say?

You don't see Maxine
acting that way, do you?

She has respect
for her mother.

Her mother treats her
like a friend.

Not like you treat me.

How do I treat you?

Like a thing.

Do you know if
Andy's going away
for the holidays?

I don't think so.

They had
reservations for Switzerland.

His grandmother got sick

and his parents
had to go to
Rochester.

-I don't know, why?
-Nothing.

Hey, Andy, Andy.

It's all set.
Now Sarah says
it's okay.

Now you gotta let
us use your house.

I told you, forget it.

Hey, Sarah!

(CHILDREN CLAMORING)

(CHILDREN LAUGHING)

Why can't we?

We just can't, that's all.

Why not?

Because my maid's still there.

We could sneak
her up in
your bedroom.

Sarah, listen,

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

Okay. Gotta go home.

-Why the hell can't we?
-You're crazy.

In the first place,
she's not going to do
it with all three of us.

How do you know? I mean,
if she's willing
to do it with Tomo

-she'll do it
with anybody.
-She likes me.

Did you ever actually
try to do it to her?

How could I?

Where? We never
even had a date.

Why not. For God sakes?

You said
you were going to.

With her, me and my mother?

Watching some ballet,
for God sakes.

And then what?
Some hot chocolate
at the Plaza?

The chick said she wanted
to make it with me.

I can't take her out on a date
with my mother, for God sakes.

Hey, you.
Andy Morisson.

Come here,
I want to talk to you.

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

I can't let an empty
house go to waste.

See you, Andy.

Were you calling me?

Do you mind stepping
into my
private drugstore?

I'm freezing out here.

Sit down.

From you I
expect a little artistic
merit at least.

What's this?

Don't give me
that innocent
look

like you're the boyfriend
of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm
or something.

Are you trying to suggest

that I put this thing
on your window?

By now a man
of your advanced intelligence

should be able
to distinguish

the difference
between a suggestion

and an irate accusation.

Did your
parents leave already?

Last night.

You want a malted?

No, thanks. I'm on a diet.

Diet?

Not to lose weight.

I'm on this
Zen macrobiotic thing.

Till my
mother gets back.

Whatever turns you on.

It's going to bring me
instant enlightenment.

I'm not complaining.

Because I know
that next week your
mother's going to come in here

and buy about twenty dollars
worth of medicine for you.

I only wish all my customers
were on your diet.

You know something,
Doctor Katchaturian?

You've got the soul
of an innate mystic.

I have got the soul
of an innate cockroach.

(LAUGHS)

-See ya.
-Hey, listen.

If you need anything
I want you to
give me a call.

Your mother told me
to tell you.

She told everybody in town.

-Will you do me a favor,
please?
-Certainly.

Will you mail this for me?

Modesta? Anybody home?

Modesta?

Once more into the breach,
dear friends.

Once more or close the wall
with our English dead.

Beautiful.

Where did you come from?

Heaven.

You don't like me too much
lately, do you?

Not too much.

Why?

If you don't vote
for somebody,

you don't have to
tell him why.

Did I do anything to you?

Did you do anything for me?

What do you mean?

What did you ever do
for anybody?

Like what?

In my country, a family could
live a year on what they have
spent for this thing.

"They" don't spend anything
for this thing.

I paid for this
with my own money,

which it took me over a year
to save up.

Big deal.

Andy?

Thank you.

Thank you.

That's the first picture
they ever took of Rosalind
and me together.

Where you got this one?

Remember when we took it in
Rosalind's backyard.

Give me my picture back.

No, don't. You're going
to break it. Come on!

Do I need a picture that
makes me look so fat for
the whole world to see me?

You know what I remember about
the day we took this picture?

You called me in for lunch.

And I started running,
then I fell down.

I started to cry.

And you wouldn't even
help me get up.

You fall down.
You pick yourself up.

Your compassion is
overwhelming.

I don't get paid
to pick you up.

Only to pick up after you.

If you got paid more
would you have picked me up?

You don't even know
what it means to do something
for somebody, do you?

Wait a second. Don't run away.
I really want to know.

I don't get paid
for talking also.

(PHONE RINGS)

This is a recording.

When you hear the tone
please leave your name
and message and phone number

and I will contact you
within about three days.

ROSALIND: Andy?

Rosalind?

Can you come right over?
It's important.

-What?
-(LINE DISCONNECTS)

Hello!

(LAUGHS)...

Ros!

Hey, Ros!

ROSALIND: Andy!
I'll be right down.

Andy?

(SCREAMS)

(LAUGHS)

How's school?

It gives me a headache.
All they make you do is study
all the time and read things.

Who does your homework for you
now that I'm not around?

Maxine Allerton.

Maxine Allerton.

Yeah, Maxine.

Do you know
that she's an idiot?

She's not.

You know something?

I miss not doing your homework
for you anymore.

How can you miss
not doing homework?
You're crazy.

(SIGHS) Ros...

While you've been away
I've been going to see
an analyst twice a week.

-Really?
-Yeah.

He says that I have
a tendency towards
being an academite.

What's that?

It's a person who only
gets sexual pleasure
out of doing homework.

(CHUCKLES)

Are you lying
or telling the truth?

I always lie. (LAUGHING)

You see even that was a lie.

You never lie.

Andy, can I talk
to you a minute?

What are you doing right now?

Seriously.

Ah!

What should I point at you?
My eyes or my ears? Or both?

Come on, Andy,
I've got a problem.

I mean,
I don't have a problem.

But a friend of mine
kind of got into trouble
with this man she knew.

In the Biblical sense?

What's the Bible got to do
with it?

They're not even
the same religion.

(CHUCKLES)

Will you listen a minute?

What's the problem?

Well,

this friend of mine
from school

met this guy in Puerto Rico

where she went with her
family on vacation.

Her father's in the junk
business so the trip
was deductible

and this guy...

Well, he's really an
older man in his twenties.

Anyway, you know,
they did it.

And now she's going to have
a baby and she doesn't know
where he lives or anything.

And even if she did
she couldn't get married

because she's still
in junior high school.

And she wants to
go on to college,

and have fun
and pretty clothes
like everybody else.

So, all we need to do is...

You know, to find a man
to get rid of it.

Go to any hospital.
It's legal now.

She can't go to a hospital.
They'd ask too many questions.

And she's Catholic.
They'd excommunicate her
and her whole family.

Hasn't your friend ever heard
about the pill?

They don't sell them
in candy machines, you know.

What do you think?
She could just go to
the family doctor

and ask him for the pill?

Tell your friend
that I don't happen to know

where she can find a nice,
friendly abortionist.

Fine. Thank you.
I'll tell her.

Ros...

If you don't want to help
I don't want you to.

Okay, come on, stop it.
All right?

I wouldn't ask you
if she had anybody
else to go to.

Look. Go tell your friend
not to worry, all right?

I'll take care of it.

You will?

Okay?

How?

I don't know.
Maybe, I'll go see
Doctor Tuttle.

God, our pediatrician?

He's a doctor, isn't he?

He couldn't even
take out my tonsils.

Hey, will you let me
take care of it?

You're the best.

Is this eye bigger
than the other one?

What do you mean bigger?

This part, from here to here,
is bigger than the other one.

Your right eye is exactly
the same as your left eye

and the two of them as a pair
go very well together.

In fact, you might even say
they're beautiful.

Thank you.

Excuse me.

How are you,
Mister Katchaturian?

Doctor Katchaturian.

May I talk to you a minute?

C'mon back.

Hi, how are you?

So talk.

I'm doing an experiment
for school

and I need some
pharmaceutical equipment,
okay?

It's called the Guild
2nd pregnancy test.

-For Gonadotropic hormones.
-Hmm.

This is an experiment
for school?

It's kind of an
extra-curricular activity.

Well, it just so happens
that I'm one of the few
druggists in New York

who happens to stock
these particular items.

But for some strange reason
I can only sell them
to licensed physicians

and other qualified personnel.

Not even if it's very
important for school?

The first place, I find it
very difficult to believe

that this was anything
to do with school.

But the other possibility
is impossible.

Why should I lie to you?

If a person wants
a pregnancy test

the chances are,
he made a person pregnant.

Oh, that's the most
irrational, illogical thing
I've ever heard.

Did you make
a person pregnant?

This girl, a friend of mine,
she's scared to go
to her parents

because she missed
a couple of periods.

Oh my God!

I didn't have anything
to do with it.

I'm not involved.
I didn't hear it.

I'm filling a prescription
in the back.

Peter.

Don't you believe me?

In the first place having
a baby is not something
you fool around with.

If the girl's missed
a couple of periods,
she's got to go to a doctor.

Peter!

Don't you understand?

If she does that
her parents will find out

and if her parents find out
she'll get killed.

And why should
she tell her parents
if nothing's the matter?

That's what I need
the test for.

It could be kind of
a hysterical period missing
thing or something like that.

It's positively
out of the question.

-MAN: Merry Christmas.
-In the first...

-MAN : Merry Christmas.
-(BELL DINGS)

In the first place,
it's against the law.
I could lose my license.

In the second place
I don't want you going
around playing doctor.

You're too young
to play doctor.

And you're too old
to play doctor.

-Suppose you left it out
someplace and I stole it?
-Oh my God!

Can't you act like a
human person for a change

and do something on
human level instead of
a pharmaceutical level

or a legal level
or a God-knows-what
kind of a level.

Please.

Just tell me where it is
and I'll steal it

and you won't have
anything to do with it.

Please.

I never had this conversation.
I don't even know you.

I'm filling a prescription
in the back.

So help me, I'll never forget
you, Doctor Katchaturian.

Mister, Mister.

(MAN SPEAKING ON TV)

Daddy?

Which do you like?
This one or this one?

That one. Now...

Can I keep them both?

Leave your father alone.
He's trying to watch the news.

Oh, don't go away. Sit down.
I'll watch the same stuff
at eleven o'clock anyway.

Can I, Daddy?

-(KATHY YELLING INDISTINCTLY)
-Can you what?

Keep them both.

Hey! Look out!

Kathy! Darling!

Stop it! Stop it!

Why do I have to do my French?
School's out. I'm on vacation.

Darling, please,
leave your daddy alone.

He's trying to
watch the news.

To hell with the news.

-Why do I have to
do my French?
-I don't know. Why does she?

Because we want her
to use this time to go over
what she had in school

and get a little bit ahead,
that's why, darling.

Nobody else has to
on vacation.

Yes, everybody else
has to on vacation.

That's what vacations
are for, sweetie.

-Daddy?
-Now come on.

-Do what your mother says.
-Do I have to?

-Yes, you do.
Now don't be difficult.
-Oh damn.

(INDISTINCT)

-It's not funny.
-It's not.

I found out the other day,
Karen Morgan's mother
let it slip out

that Karen has a tutor
as well as a governess

to help her with her
homework every single day.

So no wonder
she's number one
in the class.

Don't you have any
homework, honey?

No.

She got terrible marks
in math and history
and everything.

-Is that true?
I oughta clobber you.
-(LAUGHS)

I would, too,
if you weren't so pretty.

ANDY: Rosalind!

I think its Andy.

Hi, sweetie.
Hi, Mrs. McCarthy.

Glad to see you. We never
get to see you anymore now
that Rosalind's been away.

Put it there, Andy boy.

-(CHUCKLES)
-Ready?

-Okay, I'm ready.
-Huh?

-You sure?
-I'm sure.

(ANDY GROANING)

(LAUGHS)...

You cheated.

How else do you
expect me to win?

So you finally decided to
come and pay us a visit.

I was kinda hoping if Rosalind
could come over to my house
for a few minutes.

-Sure.
-Got to show
her something.

BETTY: But dinner's
in half an hour.

-Do you promise to be home in
half an hour sharp?
-Okay.

What are we, in the army?
Dinner's when we eat it.

What the hell
is half an hour sharp?

If she wants people
to treat her like a grown up,

she has to start taking
a little responsibility and...

Okay, okay. She said okay.

Wait till she doesn't do
something at least before
you start bawling her out.

Anyway, I trust you,
Andy, darling.

Even if my baby happens
to lose track of time
occasionally.

-I'll have her back
in 15 minutes.
-That's good enough for me.

If Andy tells you 15 minutes
it's going to be 15 minutes.

-Right, Andy.
-Yes, sir.

(CHUCKLES)

(MAN SPEAKING ON TV)

Do you think it's all right
if they go to his house?

His parents aren't there.

For God sakes.
With Andy? Come on.

I hate to tell you this,
darling

but your little baby's got
the worst case of the hots
I've ever seen in my life.

(SIGHS) Leave the kid alone.

Did you find somebody?

No, but I got a lot
of information.

I didn't ask you
for information,

I told you to find a doctor.

First we gotta find out
if you're pregnant.

What do you mean,
if I'm pregnant?

Okay, your friend.

How does she know
she's pregnant?

She missed her period, stupid.

That doesn't necessarily mean
she's pregnant.

Are you trying to tell me
about periods?

You didn't even know
what one was
when I told you.

I was ten years old,
for God sakes.

You said, "I'll find out
when I get mine."
(LAUGHS)

You were a girl.
You had to know.

You never know
anything important.
Only junk you read in books.

-Oh, I know one thing.
-What are you doing?

Missing a period doesn't
necessarily mean
you're pregnant.

-Who said so?
-The book.

Shows how much they know.
What are you doing?

Will you ever stop
eating for a minute?

Andy? What are you doing?

Okay, Ros,
I'm going to ask you
to do something for me.

-What?
-Pee in a bottle.

-Very funny.
-No. I mean it.

What for?

The Pregnancy Test.

I'm not pregnant,
my friend is.

Okay. We both know that.
But since she's not here
and you are

you're going to be
a good little girl and go
into what my family

euphemistically calls
the powder room and make
a nice little pee-pee.

Andy, I'm not pregnant.
I swear to God.

If you're not, the test'll
prove you're not.

-It's dark in here.
-Put the light on.

Andrew Morrison,
let me out of here.

-Hi!
-Andy!

TELEVISION PRESENTER:
This is WX TV channel...

What are you doing here?
Unfortunately I work here.

Don't you have a TV set
upstairs in your room?

I mean,

wouldn't you be more
comfortable up...
Up there in your pajamas?

-I don't wear pajamas.
-You know what I mean.

I don't have a color TV in my
room.

We have to do something and...
We need a little privacy.

What she doing in
the bathroom?

-An experiment. For school.
-(LAUGHING SARCASTICALLY)

Would you please let
me out of here?

Okay. The door's wide open.
Come on out if you want to
come out.

I hate you!

Wait a minute.
Don't do anything yet.
I forgot the bottle.

Okay, would you hold
it right there, please?
Okay hold it.

Oh, this is going to be
beautiful. Alright hold
it now, a little bit

to your left please.

Hold it. Hold it right there.
Would you hold please,
I'm trying to get a shot.

How am I supposed to do
anything in this thing,
you idiot.

What's wrong with it? It's the
only bottle I could find.

I'm not an expert, you know,
with years of target practice.

What!

I've never seen anybody so
stupid in my whole life.

If you don't have a book on
bottles to pee in you're lost.

I'll be right back.

I don't know what you're doing

but I know that you're not
doing what you want me to
think that you are doing.

-Look at you can see...
-Would you mind filling this
up, please?

It smells like mayonnaise.

-Wash it.
-With what?

Soap.

-Are you finished?
-Go to hell.

-What's happening?
-Nothing.

-Would you like
a drink of water?
-Oh God!

Concentrate.

I'm trying as hard as I can,
but nothing is happening.

-Turn on the faucet.
-Oh God!

-I'll never forgive
you for this.
-What's happening?

-I can't hear you.
-What!

The water's running.

All right,

close your eyes and
concentrate.

Think... Think of the beach
and the waves coming
in softly.

-Splash! Splash!
-Shut up.

This isn't the only test we
could try of course.

Like there's one where
I look at the inside of
your cheek.

That's called the Chadwick's
test.

When you're pregnant
it's supposed to be
kind of bluish

because the inside of your
cheek is supposed to be the
same color

-as the inside of your vagina.
-That's disgusting.

There's another test, it's
called the Goodell's Sign.

You reach in and touch
the cervix with your finger

and if it's soft like
your chin that means
you're pregnant

but if it's hard like the tip
of your nose you're not.

What's a cervix?

Inside the vagina.

So that's it. You're putting
me through this thing so you
can stick your finger in me.

Look... Here's the books I got
in the library.

I'm showing her how to do
this chemistry experiment.

You leave the door open.

I know about them experiments.

Now the purpose of this test

is to see if there's any
gonadatrophic hormone
in the urine.

If it's positive it
will turn one of these purple.

But if it's negative it'll
turn one of these colors.

Looks like you caught
a little pregnancy from
that friend of yours.

I might as well be dead.

If my father finds out
he'll feel like I stuck
a hundred knives in his back.

And my mother,

if she ever finds out.

I might as
well be dead.

Who's the guy?

What?

Who's the guy!

None of your business.

Somebody you met at school?

I don't want to talk about it.

All right, why don't you get
him to help you then?

I don't want him to help me,
I want you to help me.

Who did it?
Where'd you meet him?

Where'd you do it?

I hate you.

Did you like it?

Did he take your clothes off?

I really hate you.
Did you let him see you naked?

More than I ever hated anybody
in my whole life.

You drive me crazy.

(VEHICLES HONKING)

(ENGINES RUNNING)

ANDY: What about tomorrow?

Can't people get sick
on Sunday, too?

I'm not trying
to argue with you.

Okay, Monday.

Yes, ma'am.
And thank you very much.
Thank you.

Any special time
on Monday?

Thank you very much.

Yuck!

(DOORBELL CHIMES)

I'll get it, Modesta.

-What the hell do you want?
-Sarah and Tomo are across
the street.

-The maid is still here.
-You said she's off today.

-She hasn't gone yet.
-When's she going?

How do I know?
When she's ready.

Tell her to hurry up for God
sakes, 'cause I gotta be home
by noon.

Will you get the hell
out of here.

-Who was that?
-Nobody.

-A friend of mine.
-I didn't think it was
your enemy.

Why do you keep looking
at me so funny for?

Because I know you're up to
something and I don't trust
you as far as I can spit.

If my own parents can leave
me alone for days at a time

why can't you go

five minutes without treating
me like some sort of
rape artist or something?

That's why they can go.
They know I won't let you
get away with anything.

Like what?

Marijuana, and dirty girls

and
whiskey.

Not that I give a damn.

A nice little piece of ass
might make a man out of you.

(SCOFFS)

A nice little piece of ass
might make a man out of you.

Okay.

She's gone now.

Hey, what's up?

-Hey, how you doin'?
-Hi!

-Give me that hat! Hey!
-(GIGGLING)

Okay, okay, cool it.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Hello?

Hi!

Kind of.

No.
Yeah sure!

Nah, it's nothing important.

Right.

I'll be right over.
Okay, bye.

I gotta go next door for
a few minutes.

-But you're coming back,
aren't you?
-Yeah.

-I gotta take a Christmas
present over.
-Now!

They're going
away to Acapulco or some place
for a couple of days, and

they're having some kind of a
Christmas party or something.

-You know, for the family.
-But the only reason I came
here because it's your house.

I'll be right back.
Okay? In a couple of minutes.

Honey, please go help your
daddy. Would you please?

And Mademoiselle,
do not forget

that Kathy has
a date with Karen to go
swimming at the club.

But on the way you must drop
Rosalind at the orthodontist.

-Merry Noel.
-Thank you,
Merry Christmas to you.

-Goodbye and have
a Merry Christmas.
-Goodbye and Merry Christmas.

Have a very good day.

I really do not see how
I am ever going to be ready
to leave on time.

Why does she have to drop
me off someplace like
a little kid?

Didn't I find you that time in
the doorway with the delivery
boy from Gristede's?

-We were only talking.
-What about the time at
the swimming pool

at the River Club with you
and the Puerto Rican pool boy.
Were you talking then?

-Why do we always have to go
through that junk?
-Because you asked me a

question, darling. And I gave
you an answer.

She asked me a question.
Now will you please get
off her back?

Oh, hi Andy! How are you?
Come on in sweets!

It's cold, let's go!
Is that for me?

We had such a dreadful little
Christmas last year in Antigua
darling. So we decided to do

the whole thing and get it
over with before we go
to Acapulco this year.

-Take the package from Andy,
dear.
-No, it's too heavy.

-Thank Andy for the present.
-Thank you!

-Merry Christmas, Andy!
-I'll find yours here
somewhere, darling okay.

Put it there, Andy boy.

Darling, would you please
fix the fire?

Oh yea, yea great idea.

Nothing like a roaring fire at
Christmas.

-Can I open my present now?
-Not until Daddy finishes
the tree.

It's finished.

-Is that the whole thing?
-That's our Christmas tree.

That's what you ordered.

-Can we open our presents?
-Okay. Here we go.

What would Santa Claus
say about all this.

-Hey, thanks a lot
Mrs. McCarthy.
-Oh you're welcome.

-Mr. McCarthy thanks.
-Well don't thank me Andy,
I have no idea...

You paid for it darling!
Oh, ho ho ho! God is that
adorable, Frank,

-look at what Andy gave her!
-What is it?

Let me show you how it works.

-Look at that!
-Wow!

Isn't that something?
That's...

-Press those little buttons
on the side.
-Oh, all of them?

Yeah all four of them.

Look, look at that!

-(FESTIVE MUSIC PLAYS)
-How about that!

-Andy, how adorable it is.
-It's really nice.

I kind of...

You know, just developed
pictures of us together.

-Thank you, Andy.
-Thank you, Andy.

-Thank you for my clock or
whatever the hell it is.
-No, no. It's a barometer for

-your office. And it's from
Kathy, so thank Kathy.
-Oh, Come here, Kathy.

Give your daddy a kiss.
Thank Daddy for the blouse.

-It's a Liberty print
from London.
-Thank you daddy!

What the hell kind of a
present is that? Here.

You go get yourself something
you really like.
Something crazy.

Oh my God, is that 2 O'clock?
Come on, girls, we're late.
Let's go!

-Let's get our coats.
-What?

And I want to thank you very
much, darling. For all those
wonderful presents you got me.

-I'll show them to you later.
-Where are you going?

Where the hell are you taking
everybody?

-I'm taking Kathy to Karen's
house. Her mother is taking...
-What?

Them to the museum and then to
dinner at La Fonda del Sol.

Which hospital?

-Where?
-Look it up in the phone book.

I'm so happy that you could
share Christmas with us.

Hey, why does it always take
you so long to do anything?

-Come on,
say goodbye to your father.
-Okay!

-Did you say Monday?
-Monday morning, ten o'clock.

Call me up tomorrow and remind
me. No, I'll call you. She
always picks up and listens.

Goodbye daddy.

Goodbye darling.

-Well looks like it's just
the two of us!
-I better be going Mr....

No comeback here, you wouldn't
leave your old pal to drink
all alone, would you? Sit down

you want the usual, eh?

-Merry Christmas there boy,
let's clink glasses!
-Merry Christmas!

Up the old...
Down the hatch, come on,
come on, here we go.

Hey let's get out of here!

Let's go outside. Come on,
boy!

Andy, Andy boy.
I want to ask you a...
I want to ask you a question

and you give me
a truthful answer. What do
you think about all this?

This art here.
All these pictures.
Does it mean anything to you?

Goddammit.
Andy, these chairs.

Cost me eleven hundred bucks
a piece and they're not
even comfortable

nothing like fresh air, huh?
Andy...

Andy, come on out here!

That brick work,
I gotta finish it one of
these days.

Not now, though. No, not in
the winter time. Only morons
lay bricks in cold weather.

A lot of 'em do it.
They don't know any better.

Used to be a bricklayer took
pride in his work.

No more no, no.
Now they gotta have a quota.

-Nine hundred bricks a day.
-Nine hundred?

Maybe a thousand. Why the
hell should they care?

They don't give a damn how
they pile 'em on top of one
another.

Andy,

Andy, do you know
what makes people not animals?

What?

We learned how to use bricks.

Mr. McCarthy...

-I gotta go.
-Oh, no, no.
You got to stick around

one little... One little more.
One more come on, come on,
(INDISTINCT)

Come on, one for the road.

You're a good boy, Andy,
you know that?

-Not too good.
-Yes, you are.
In the whole world

there's not many people
I know worth a damn but I know
you. You're a good boy.

I'll freshen this up for us.

I love my kids but
I don't know, let's face it.

The little one's got a
pair of balls like her mother,
and Ros,

I love Ros. You know how
much I love her,

but just between you and me,
she's got most of her brains
in her tits.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Don't you tell her I
said that.

You can't be lucky
in everything, I guess.

I have been lucky, Andy.

Damn lucky. I just happen
to be at the right place at
the right time.

Otherwise, I'd
still be laying bricks in some
construction gang.

Hey, is that the difference?
Is that why

you turned out to be so great
'cause your father
had an education?

Andy, Andy...

You could wind up being

the president of the
United States some day. Do you
know that?

Or you could, you could
develop a cure for cancer,
or anything.

(STUTTERS) You could do it
you've got what it takes.

I got a lot of faith in
you. A lot.

You know something,
last year I sneaked into
your graduation.

No, not your graduation, where
they give away the prizes,
whatever they call it in

French. Anyway, I was standing
there in the back

and when they called out
your name for the prize

for being number one in
your whole class

I started to cry.

You don't
believe that, do you?

-No, sir.
-It's true.

Now don't you tell
anybody about that,
now you hear?

I gotta go, I gotta get
my drink.

(DOORBELL RINGS)

-Hi, Mrs. McCarthy!
-Hello sweetie, how are you?

Where's your mother?
She just left. She should be
back in a couple of minutes.

You wait here until I pick you
up, and no walking around.
Okay?

-Suppose her mother sends us
to the store or something?
-As long as it's with Maxine.

I'll pick you up at
five-thirty.

-Bye, Mrs. McCarthy.
-Bye, darling.

-Hold your head up,
you stand like a turtle.
-Bye.

Hold your head up,
you stand like a turtle.

It's not funny. She's always
saying things like that.

You should have heard my
mother when she left.
She was furious.

-At you?
-At Rick.

-Is he still here?
-He's getting dressed,
I suppose.

What was she mad at him for?

She wanted him to do it
and he didn't want to.

He must do it a lot.

They used to, that's how come
they sent me to
boarding school.

Did he ever do it to you?

He thinks I'm a goldfish
or something.

Listen, you want to talk
to him before he leaves.

I don't know.

They just had a fight,
I don't think right now
is such a good time.

You'd better make up your
mind. He'll probably leave in
a minute.

-What should I tell him?
-Just tell him.

-You tell him.
-It's not my baby.

-He might get mad.
-Why should he get mad?
He's the father.

Hi.

Rosalind.

You want to hear something
funny?

Something really funny
happened.

You want to know
what happened?

I gotta tell you something.
I gotta tell you something.

Come on, please, stop it.

Come on, please, stop it.

Wait a second,
I gotta tell you something.

I gotta problem.

I don't want
your problems, kid.

I got all I can handle
right now.

Did you tell him?

-Why didn't you tell him?
-Would you leave me alone?

-Thirty-nine.
-(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Thirty-nine.

-Thirty-nine.
-What's our number?

-Forty-one.
-Number thirty-nine?

Is thirty-nine here?

Here.

If I'm late for the
orthodontist he'll kill me.

Go see how long
it's going to take.

-You go.
-Come with me.

Over there number three.

-Where?
-Over there.

Excuse me, ma'am?

Could you tell me how long it
will be before we get to
number forty-one?

It comes right after
number forty.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

I'm going to call the
orthodontist and tell him
I'll be late.

-Come with me.
-NURSE: I've been down there
all this time by myself.

I'm not Miss Hospital.

VOICE OVER INTERCOMM:
Doctor Fursler.
Doctor Robinson.

(BABIES CRYING)

Miss, I don't understand what
this bag is for.

Were you just given a saline
injection?

I don't know.
They gave me a shot.

They took some fluid from
your womb and replaced it with
a mixture of salt and water.

And now all you have to do
is go home and wait.

For what?

To have the miscarriage.
At home?

We can't very well have you
wait here and we don't have
enough beds already.

I don't want to have no
abortion in front of my kids.
I got five kids at home.

As soon as you feel the
contractions, excuse yourself
and go in the bathroom.

But all I want to know is what
is the bag for?

All interrupted pregnancies
after 16 weeks have to be
given legal burial.

So you just put the fetus
in the bag

and bring it back to us
and we'll take care
of everything.

You're going to bury
my baby in this bag?

I didn't make the laws.

Number forty.

Here.

All those here for maternity
we're showing a movie
about childbirth.

Those of you here for
interrupted pregnancy, you
don't have to watch

-if you don't want to.
-There's nothing I can do for
you. Number forty-one.

Number forty-one.

-Right here.
-Number one.

Excuse me, I didn't hear you.
Over there. Number one. Uno.
You know how to count?

-Come on.
-Thank you!

Hello. I'm Miss Gibson, your
counselor. Won't you please
sit down?

-Thank you.
-What is your name?

-Sally.
-How are you, Sally?

You don't mind if Sally
and I talk alone do you?

Yes, he does mind. I mean...
He minds.

All right, Sally.

-What is your name?
-Marvin.

Marvin.

Now, the first thing we want
to do is to get a little
information

and then I'm going
to give you a little pamphlet
on contraception.

Now?

You don't want this to keep
happening over and over again,
do you?

Excuse me,
this woman out there,
she had a bag...

We'll get to all your
questions, I promise you.

But first I need a little
information.

This will help us to help you
and other patients

in planning our pregnancy
interruption service.

-How many times including now
have you been pregnant?
-None.

One.

-What do you mean one?
-She said including now.

-How many children do
you have?
-None.

How many children would you
like to have?

-None.
-None!

What she means is, don't you
ever want to have any babies?

-How do I know about ever?
I don't even...
-Please.

Have you tried to get
an abortion somewhere else?

I tried Castor Oil and a cola
douche

and eating baked grapefruit
and jumping off of things.

Yes.

Since learning of
your pregnancy, have you felt
lonely?

No.

-Unhappy?
-No.

-Angry?
-No.

Who or what made you think
about getting an abortion?

Check one. Mother?
Husband?

Boyfriend? Other friends?

Radio? Television?
Newspaper or other?

What was the question?

How do you figure when a
person gets pregnant?

-I mean, what day do you
start counting from?
-Will you shut up.

We start counting from
the first day of
the last period.

How could that be? You can't
have a period when
you're pregnant.

Do we have to go through all
that junk?

The reason I asked is because
I read that it's dangerous
after twelve weeks.

It could be.

How dangerous?

We have plenty of time for
your questions but first we

must go at these
questionnaires.

Who or what made you think
about getting an abortion?

Check one.

Can I just ask you
one question?

I've got to be
somewhere pretty soon, and
it's really important

so could I just answer some
of these questions while
I'm getting the abortion?

No.

-Well, I can get it today...
Can't I?
-No.

I've got to.
Today or tomorrow
at the latest.

You see, I've got to go to
Acapulco with my family,
the day after tomorrow

and after that I've got to go
right back to Sch... Work.

I work in another town where
you can't get abortions.

And then I won't be
coming back until Easter

and by that time I'd be so big
everybody would make fun of me
and everything.

So I've got to
get it done today or tomorrow.

Don't you understand?

We're booked up for several
weeks. I'd have to look up
the exact schedule.

Several weeks!

And then, of course,
there's a five or six week
wait for a bed.

Then she'll be over
twelve weeks.

And you said it's
dangerous after twelve weeks.
Yes, I'm afraid so.

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Well, what the hell is this?

In order to get an abortion
here you...

You got to make
an appointment
before you're pregnant.

-Let's get out of here.
-It's not going to help the
situation

to take your hostilities out
on me, you know.

Number forty-four.

-What a dummy!
-She wasn't so bad.

Not her. You!
What'd you bring me here for?

-Now I'm going to
be late for the orthodontist.
-How'd I know?

You know all about periods.
You're a big expert on
periods.

Hey, if you're going
to holler,

I don't even have to help
you at all.

Thanks a lot. You've really
been terrific so far.

-Okay. Fine.
Do it yourself then.
-Fine.

Andy.

Andy, what are we going to do?

How'd you get me into this?
What do I have to do with it,
anyway? It's your problem.

I've got a hundred things
I want to do.

You think I really
love trying to get you a
God-damned abortion?

You don't have to if
you don't want to.

Why don't you tell
your parents?

I swear to God I would rather
kill myself. I really mean it.

Why?

Because they're my parents.

You told me you'd
find somebody.

Okay, I'll try.

You can do anything, Andy.

I'm glad you think so.

I'll be at Doctor Butler's.

Then I called up Tony Canby,
you know, English Lit.

Well, anyway, his
brother's a doctor.

He calls up his brother
and boy, was
there ever hell to pay.

-His brother thought Tony
knocked up the chick.
-Oh for Christ's sake!

Who is she, anyway?
I mean, like if she'd
do it with you...

-I told you it wasn't me.
-Do you think she'll let
me do it to her, too?

-Come on, Pete,
the girl's in trouble.
-I don't know.

Have you...
Have you looked in the
underground newspapers?

What about 'em?

They got ads. They refer you
to abortionists.

Is it legal and everything?

How do I know about legal, for
God sakes? All I know is I've
seen the ads.

Well...

-It's worth a try.
Thanks, Pete!
-Hey, listen, listen,

how about fixing me up with
her. If she's pregnant already
once more isn't

going to make
it twins, for God sakes.

Why don't you go inside
and sit down. We're a little
busy now, but somebody

-will be with you in a minute.
Okay?
-Thanks.

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

MAN ON PHONE: We're a private
hospital, that's how we avoid
red tapes and blades.

I'll be with you in just
a minute.

So why don't you drop
by tomorrow?
Sure anytime.

Bye bye.

Sorry, can I help you?

I read this ad in the
newspaper and I was kinda
wondering, umm... You see...

I get the message.
You want to see Felice.
Down in the back there

she'll be finished in just
a moment. Just wander over.

Hi.

Hi. Can I help you?

-Well...
-Why don't you have a seat?

You see, I'm trying to help
this friend of mine.

-She...
-She needs an abortion.

Yes.

Have you tried
the public hospitals?

Yes, but there's one problem.

You see, she has to get it
tomorrow and she can't...

She can't spend the night over
in the hospital. She doesn't
want her parents to know.

Sure, we can handle it. We
only refer people to private
hospitals

and they don't ask a lot of
questions like age, or
parents, or things like that.

It does cost a little bit more
money, though, because we
charge a small fee

to keep our operation
going here.

-But we're able to get things
done quickly.
-Well...

-Can you arrange the whole
thing?
-Don't worry, look,

any place we send your friend
is going to be legal and safe
and everything.

And if any problems
should happen we can take
care of 'em.

Why did you eat spare ribs if
I told you never to eat spare
ribs?

-I didn't eat spare ribs.
-You bent the wire.

-I didn't eat spareribs.
-What did you eat then?

I can't remember everything
I eat.

-You, in the next room.
-Everything okay?

I got an appointment for you
tomorrow afternoon.

Could you make it in the
morning, I'm having my hair
trimmed in the afternoon?

Stop talking, please.

There's one little problem,
though.

You need five hundred
and sixty dollars.

What!

See what you've done. You bent
the wire again.

I don't have five hundred
and sixty cents.

I'm going to have to get
your mold.

Who's the guy?

-I told you, if you ask
me one more time.
-Goddamn you,

for five hundred
and sixty dollars, who was the
guy who knocked you up?

I'm not even going to listen
to you if you're going to talk
like that.

Who was it? Who?
None of your business.

You want me to get the money
for you or don't you?

Where are you going to
get five hundred
and sixty dollars?

Never mind where.

Who was it?

-The guy who lives
with Maxine's mother.
-What guy?

-He lives with her.
-How old is he?

-I don't know.
-Ten? Twenty?

-Thirty? Fifty?
-A hundred.

I don't know why I should
waste another minute on you.
I really don't.

What difference does it make
how old he is?

Don't you understand?
I can't take it anymore.

-I've got to see this whole
thing in my head.
-I don't remember.

-All right, find your own
doctor.
-Andy!

He's about twenty-five.

-Where'd you do it?
-Maxine's house.

-Where?
-Why should you
care what I did?

You're not interested in
me like that.

Like what?

You never even tried
to kiss me. Not once,
in your whole life.

-Don't you realize that...
-You in the other room.

I'm just here to see Rosalind
a minute.

So she can bite my fingers off
again, and bend the wires?

You really give me problems.

Were you naked? Did he take
your clothes off?

-Did he?
-Yes.

-Was he?
-Yes.

-Did you like it?
-No!

-The truth.
-I hated it.

-The truth!
-It hurts.

-You, in the other room.
-Okay.

-Andy?
-What?

Are you going to get it?

I don't know.

Sir?

Could you tell me if
Maxine Allerton is upstairs?

-She's walking down there.
-Thank you very much.

Maxine!

Maxine!

-What?
-Could you come here a minute?

What?

Come here a minute!

Oh, okay!

Hi, what's the matter?

-Could you do me a favor?
-Yeah.

Remember that guy who lives
with you?

Could you tell me if
he's here or out someplace?

He should be leaving any
minute now to go to the gym,
if he hasn't already gone.

Okay, just stay with me and
point him out if he comes out?

If he doesn't come out in five
minutes he's already gone.

-Want a piece of candy?
-Yeah, thanks.

Are you going to help her
get rid of it?

I found the place but I need
a lot of money.

You're going to ask him
for money?

-I'm not going to ask him. I'm
going to tell him.
-Lots of luck.

-There he is.
-Hurry up.

Excuse me, sir,
could I talk to you a minute?

Could I talk to you a minute
about Rosalind?

-Who's Rosalind?
-Maxine's friend.

What about her?

-She's going to have a baby.
-I didn't know that.

I thought you ought to know.

She needs some help in raising
the money.

For the abortion.
And you know since you
and her were...

You got chocolate
on your face, sonny.

-What did he say to you?
-Nothing.

-I saw him say something.
-Nothing. I told you.
Goddammit!

(GRUNTING)

Shit!

-Andy! What happened to you?
-Nothing!

Okay, nothing happened.

-I need five hundred
and sixty dollars.
-Who doesn't.

I don't know where to go.
I don't know what
to do anymore.

-You need the money for
yourself?
-No.

For who?

I can't tell you. But I
started something and I got to
finish it.

Even though I hate her.

I really hate her. I just
can't stand her anymore!

I hate her!

-How much money you say
you needed?
-Nothing.

I don't need anything anymore.
To hell with her. Let her
solve her own Goddamn problem.

I don't even like her anymore.

Anyone can help
a person he likes.

What do you mean?
If you can help a person just
because he needs it whether

you like him or not, that's
helping a person.

Two hundred
and forty-five dollars.

I can't take that from you.

That's the best news
I heard all day

but in case you change
your mind...

I promised them we'd be able
to finish on time.

Are you trying to tell me
we're not going to make it?

Yeah, with overtime.

Mr. McCarthy?

Andy, what the heck are you
doing here?

I called your office
and they told me that
I might find you here.

-What happened to your face?
-Umm...

-Could I talk to you for a
minute?
-Sure, come on, sit down.

Well...
What's your problem?

I need some money.
Well that's no problem.
How much?

315 dollars.

-Check okay?
-No. I don't think so.

Hey, Shark!

You...

You don't have to tell me
what you need it for if
you don't want to.

I don't think I can.

That's okay.

Here, have the paymaster cash
this for me.

You sure you don't want to
talk to me about this?

Andy?

-This friend of mine got into
some trouble.
-What kind of trouble?

Well... It's a girl
and she needs an abortion.

You mean you...

You little son of a b...

Andy... (LAUGHING)
Andy, why didn't
you come to me?

Talk to me before you...
I could of...

Who is she?

Who's the girl?

-Who is she?
-I can't tell you.

-She, she isn't...
-Do you think
I'm the one responsible?

-Do you? You think that I...
-Shut up, shut up, shut up.

Where'd you get the doctor?

I went to this place
and they called him up for me.

-You mean you don't know
a damn thing about him?
-No.

(DIALING THE TELEPHONE)

Hello Judy, Frank, listen.

You remember that doctor
that you went to a couple
of years ago when you...

Yeah... What kind
of a doctor was he.

Was he good? Clean?

Give me his name, huh?

His phone number.
You got that?

No. No. It's nothing like
that, now come on, stop it...
Give it to me.

Four-five-nine-two.
I've been busy the last
couple of days.

I'll call you tomorrow.

Here,

take her to this guy.
I know he's okay.
You'll need some more dough.

Here's five hundred.

Listen,

don't you come over to
the house anymore.

(DOORBELL BUZZES)

-Mister and Mrs. Arthur?
-Doctor Hargrave?

Come in, please.

You go in there.

Have a chair.

So you're Mister Arthur.
I believe you said,
Mister Sidney Arthur?

-Yes, Sir.
-Uh-huh.

-I suppose they call you Sid.
-Yes, Sir.

I enjoyed reading
the book about you.

What book?

Siddhartha. I've read
Hermann Hesse novels, too.

-I'm sorry, I'm...
-HARGRAVE: Oh, please, please.

In my profession I enjoy
a bit of whimsy.

I'm Andrew Elliot Morrison.

You understand it's
against the law

for a doctor to perform
an abortion in his office.

Yes, Sir.

I suppose you have
valid reasons for not
going to a hospital.

-ANDY: Yes, Sir.
-All right. Let's go in there,
shall we.

And you can wait here.

Mrs. Morrison, would you
please go in there
and take off all your clothes.

You can put that thing on
hanging up there on the hook.

Why do I need to take all
my clothes off?

I think before we go
through all this

we ought to make sure
you really need it first.

-Don't you?
-I wouldn't be here
if I didn't need it.

-Have you had a pelvic?
-ROSALIND: What's that?

I'm going to examine
you to see if you really
are pregnant. All right?

And if so, how far along
you are.

ROSALIND: Then what happens?

-We perform a little surgery.
-ROSALIND: Does it hurt?

Not a bit.

It only takes a couple
of minutes,

but you'll probably
want to rest for
a while afterwards.

When they took my tonsils out
they kept me overnight.

Are you disappointed,
for God sakes?
She's disappointed.

-Can my friend stay with me
while you do it?
-No.

-Andy!
-What's the matter?

I hate shots. They hurt,
I can't stand pain.

People can die
from too much pain.

Once when I was
in the dentist office

I fainted before
he ever touched me.

Don't you understand?

Ow! What'd you give me?

Just a tranquilizer
to relax you.

I just want you to know,
both of you that I don't like
any of this at all.

Mrs. Morrison,
will you please lie down,
put your feet in the stirrups

and slide down to this
end of the table.

And will you wait
outside, please?

Don't you want the money now?

That's a lot of money
for a young boy.

Put it in my coat
pocket over there.

Will you wait outside, please?

-Please let him stay.
-Don't worry. It'll be over
in a couple of minutes.

He won't hurt anything.
Please.

Why do you want to make
it difficult for him, too?

Isn't it bad enough that you
and I have to go through it?

Why shouldn't he
go through it, too.
He's my friend.

All right.

Take your jacket off.
Wash up over there carefully,
while I do the pelvic.

-Should I wash my face, too?
-HARGRAVE: Not unless
you want to.

You'll find a gown
in the lower drawer.

-This?
-HARGRAVE: Put it on.

HARGRAVE: Everything's
disposable nowadays.

Andy, hurry up. Come here.

What's he doing now?

I would say you were in your
eighth or ninth week,

which is very good so far.

What are you doing?

Just preparing
a local anesthetic.

It won't hurt.

-I told you, I hate shots.
-Come on, cut it out.

Ow! You lied. It hurts.

-You trying to feel my boobs,
for God sakes!
-Well, you put my hand there.

HARGRAVE: Now just try
and relax now, please.

Wait a minute, stop!
Let me off
of this thing.

-HARGRAVE: What's wrong?
-I gotta go to
the bathroom.

That's normal.

Please, something terrible.
I really have to, please.

Ow! Help me.
Make him stop, somebody.

ROSALIND: Ow! Help me.

That's all the pain you're
going to feel.

You don't have to choke me
to death.

It's bad enough with him down
there without you trying
to kill me at this end, too.

You promise not to scream?

How would you like to be
spread out here like
a wishbone with somebody...

Actually the position
you're in is called
hysterical position,

coming from the same root
as hysterectomy.

Ow! Make him stop.
Tell him my father's
a policeman.

You're almost finished.

Why did I think that bastard
Rick was so cute?

He should have known
I wasn't on the pill
or anything.

ROSALIND: He's a mean,
selfish bastard.

We're all through.

You mean I'm all through?
A dead person?

You can take that thing off
and put it in the basket here.

Disposable.

-Should I see it?
-Nothing to see.

-Is it a boy or a girl?
-A tadpole.

Come in to the office.

You can lay there as long
as you like.

Well, I must say,
you're an unusual man,
Mister Andrew Morrison.

She didn't cry.

She didn't even cry.

Most women, I find,
hold up much better
than men under pain.

I know.

Sometimes you really
can't tell about people.

No, you really can't.

-Are you mad at me?
-No.

What are you acting
so funny for?

-I was just thinking.
-About what?

-ANDY: You really
want to hear it?
-ROSALIND: Sure.

ANDY: (LAUGHS)
You don't want to hear it.

No, I do, really.

I never thought
about it before.

But no one ever counted on me
for anything before.

Not really, you know,
for anything that matters.

My bottom feels like I went
through a cement mixer.

What did you ask for if you're
not going to listen?

Tell me again, I'll listen.

I don't think I'm going to be
able to pay the money back.

I don't get
too much allowance,

and I got to buy
new coats and things

when my parents say
the styles are too crazy.

That would mean I would
have to go forever without
anything to wear.

ROSALIND: But I'll pay you
back for all the trouble
and everything somehow.

-You've already paid me back.
-ROSALIND: How?

By teaching
me a lot of things.

That's not good enough.
Don't you understand?

I gotta pay you back exactly
what I owe you or else we
can't be friends.

You know what?
I apologize to you.
I really do.

For what?

Well, up till the other day
I put you too high.

You know, like on a pedestal.

And then I got mad
and I put you too low.

But who am
I to put you anyplace?

You are what you are.

(LAUGHS)

I'm sorry, but you
look so funny when
you get so serious.

-ANDY: That's okay.
-ROSALIND: What were you
going to say?

Nothing.

What were you going
to tell me?

It's exactly like I read
in this book on Zen.

I used to think that
a mountain was a mountain
and a stream was a stream.

And then I learned that
a mountain is not a mountain,

and a stream is not a stream.

But then I found the secret.

I realized that a
mountain is a mountain,
and a stream is a stream.

You want to do it to me,
don't you?

You really want
to do it to me.

That's how come you're
acting so funny, right?

You can, anytime
you want to, okay?

Okay?

I love you, Rosalind.

Andy.
