00:01:09 MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS
00:01:23 Hello? Who!?
00:01:25 No. I'm sorry,
00:01:27 No, listen,
00:01:29 I can't keep track of them all.
00:01:30 Do you know...
00:01:32 Cause I remember people by what they order
00:01:34 Not by their names
00:01:36 ''Meat Loaf? ''
00:01:38 Well, I know a Meat Loaf with Mashed Potatoes.
00:01:42 Well, with Cheese Fries,
00:01:46 What? He doesn't like potatoes?
00:01:49 Why don't you, well, yeah give me your number
00:01:52 And if I see him, I'll tell him to call you
00:01:54 Yeah, I promise. I will. Ok bye
00:02:00 He's 5'11 with dark brown hair
00:02:02 Sorry, I can't think of any Meat Loafs
00:02:05 or Onion Rings or Pouched Eggs
00:02:07 Or Fried Fillet of Fish
00:02:10 Last time we were here,
00:02:12 Oh why didn't you say so?
00:02:13 That's because we supposedly
00:02:16 You ever tried them?
00:02:17 No, I haven't
00:02:18 Why not?
00:02:21 Listen, have you seen him or not?
00:02:24 5'11 ''. Dark brown hair. Pork chops
00:02:28 I have actually.
00:02:31 He ordered two pork chops
00:02:32 One with mashed potatoes and
00:02:36 I guess he was hungry
00:02:37 No, he didn't eat both of them.
00:02:39 Our portions are too big
00:02:41 No, one was for him and one was
00:02:44 Look! Just get to the point...
00:02:46 Don't... Don't change the subject!
00:02:50 Are you seeing someone else?
00:02:53 Who is she?
00:02:57 I hope you both drop dead!
00:03:19 If someone comes in here looking for me
00:03:21 give him these keys
00:03:23 What do I tell him?
00:03:24 Tell him he's an asshole!
00:03:30 Taxi!
00:03:55 Hey, did he pick up the keys?
00:03:57 No, not yet
00:04:10 Do you have an extra cigarette?
00:04:11 Sure
00:04:15 Rolled it myself
00:04:16 Thanks
00:04:27 You okay?
00:04:29 Yeah
00:04:31 I haven't had one in a while
00:04:33 I only smoke when I get stressed out
00:04:35 Well, you shouldn't worry so much
00:04:36 That way you'll avoid lung cancer
00:04:41 Do you think she's pretty?
00:04:44 Who?
00:04:45 The girl he was in here with
00:04:47 Oh, she was okay I guess... I mean
00:04:50 Not the type I would prefer
00:04:53 but ''each man to his own'', right?
00:04:57 Yeah right
00:05:36 Hello
00:05:37 Hey
00:05:46 I need someone to talk to
00:05:52 Do you think he'll pick up the keys?
00:05:54 I don't know
00:05:56 I've had customers leaving keys here for years
00:05:58 Sometimes they pick them up in a few days
00:06:00 Sometimes it takes a few weeks
00:06:03 Well, what about most of the time?
00:06:04 Most of the time, the keys stay in the jar
00:06:13 Well why do you keep them?
00:06:15 You should just throw them out
00:06:17 No
00:06:19 No I couldn't do that
00:06:22 Why not?
00:06:24 If I threw these keys away
00:06:26 then those doors will be closed forever
00:06:29 And that shouldn't be up to me to decide
00:06:32 Should it?
00:06:39 Guess I'm just looking for a reason
00:06:43 Well, from my observations
00:06:46 sometimes it's better off not knowing
00:06:50 and other times there's no reason to be found
00:06:54 Everything has a reason
00:06:59 It's like these pies and cakes
00:07:02 At the end of every night
00:07:04 the cheesecake and the apple pie
00:07:08 The peach cobbler
00:07:09 and the chocolate mousse cake
00:07:12 But there's always a whole blueberry pie
00:07:19 So what's wrong with the blueberry pie?
00:07:21 There's nothing's wrong with the blueberry pie
00:07:23 It's just people make other choices
00:07:24 You can't blame the blueberry pie
00:07:26 It's just no one wants it
00:07:30 Wait!
00:07:33 I want a piece
00:07:34 With ice cream?
00:07:38 Leave it to me
00:07:47 Here we go
00:07:49 I hope you enjoy it
00:07:50 Thanks
00:08:09 It's not bad
00:08:10 Really?
00:08:14 You should try some
00:08:15 No, I'm alright. I have my own
00:09:12 Will you tell me the stories
00:09:17 What for?
00:09:21 I just wondered how they all ended up here
00:09:27 Pick one
00:09:34 Those belonged to a young couple
00:09:38 They were naive enough to believe
00:09:39 that they were gonna spend the rest
00:09:42 Well, what happened?
00:09:44 Life happened
00:09:46 Things happened. Yeah, time happened
00:09:50 It's pretty much always the case more or less
00:09:54 Or maybe one of them ran off
00:09:57 Maybe the feelings just went away
00:10:05 What about these?
00:10:07 Those belonged to a little old lady
00:10:10 Her best friend would pick them up
00:10:12 She dropped them off
00:10:14 I presumed, I mean, she was pretty old
00:10:15 I presumed she passed away or something
00:10:21 What about these?
00:10:25 These keys used to belong to a young lad
00:10:28 from Manchester England
00:10:31 who made plans and had dreams
00:10:33 of running every marathon in this country
00:10:36 starting in New York
00:10:38 He was going to write a journal
00:10:41 and ended up running a cafe.
00:10:46 Later they were given to a Russian girl
00:10:49 who loved collecting keys
00:10:52 and watching sunsets
00:10:55 Unfortunately,
00:10:58 and ended up disappearing into one
00:11:02 Why didn't you go looking for her?
00:11:11 When I was little
00:11:12 me mum used to take me to the park
00:11:15 She said if I ever got lost
00:11:17 I had to stay in one place
00:11:21 Does that work?
00:11:23 Not really
00:11:25 She got lost once looking for me
00:11:27 Eh, you want some more ice cream?
00:11:30 No thanks
00:11:30 You sure?
00:11:31 Yeah I'm fine. Thanks
00:12:14 You're late
00:12:18 Same as usual?
00:12:31 No thanks
00:12:39 Can I have my keys back?
00:12:41 Yeah, sure
00:12:47 So...
00:12:49 You two have patched things up then?
00:12:54 Thanks
00:13:28 Lousy bloody camera
00:13:34 Hey!
00:13:35 Alright. Come on. Break it... Alright!
00:13:38 Take it outside. Take it out...
00:13:40 None of your business cupcake!
00:13:41 Don't start with me mate!
00:13:42 Don't you start... Come here!
00:13:43 Right you come here
00:13:45 Get out of my place!
00:13:48 Don't start with me!
00:13:50 Get out!
00:13:51 Hey you haven't paid yet!
00:14:16 Can I have a tissue?
00:14:17 What happened?
00:14:18 Did he hit you?
00:14:19 No!
00:14:21 Well what?
00:14:23 I got mugged on the subway
00:14:25 I thought Pork Chop lived around here?
00:14:29 He does
00:14:31 What were you doing on the subway?
00:14:33 Well...
00:14:35 I just needed some time to prepare myself
00:14:40 I was gonna get off in a few stops
00:14:43 I don't know, I just
00:14:45 The next thing I knew, I ended up in the Bronx
00:14:48 That's a very interesting way
00:14:56 I've never been very good at confrontation
00:15:01 Some people enjoy it
00:15:04 Not me
00:15:09 Hey, are you alright?
00:15:11 Should we call the police or something?
00:15:16 No
00:15:19 No, he didn't get away with very much
00:15:23 Especially after I kicked him in the balls
00:15:26 You didn't
00:15:36 Wait, what happened to you?
00:15:41 I ate too much chocolate today
00:15:52 What's wrong with your camera?
00:15:54 Oh, I don't know
00:15:55 It's been in a lousy mood these past few days
00:15:59 It doesn't really keep people from stealing,
00:16:03 No
00:16:06 Not really
00:16:08 But I like having it around, 'cause
00:16:13 for me it's like my diary
00:16:15 You know?
00:16:23 Some nights, I watch the tapes back and
00:16:27 I'm amazed at how much I've missed
00:16:31 That's going on right in front of me
00:16:36 You must have a lot of tapes
00:16:39 I don't keep them all
00:16:41 I'm not that weird
00:16:44 Only the highlights
00:16:58 Can I take a look?
00:17:00 Sure
00:17:03 Come around
00:21:17 She left behind her set of keys
00:21:28 DAY 01 ny
00:21:58 How do you say goodbye to someone
00:22:03 I didn't say goodbye
00:22:08 I didn't say anything
00:22:14 I just walked away
00:22:18 At the end of that night
00:22:20 I decided to take the longest way
00:22:32 Dear Jeremy
00:22:34 As you can see by this postcard
00:22:37 I'm now in Memphis, Tennessee
00:22:38 Hey Lizzy,
00:22:41 Coming!
00:22:42 Come on hustle it!
00:22:42 It took me a long time to get here
00:22:45 And I'm not sure how long I'll be staying
00:22:48 During the day, I work at a diner downtown
00:22:52 I haven't been able to sleep at night
00:22:54 so I've also taken a waitressing job at a bar
00:22:58 It's kind of a dive,
00:23:03 Working two jobs is exhausting
00:23:05 But at least it keeps me busy
00:23:07 and most importantly,
00:23:24 DAY 571,120 miles since ny
00:23:43 Hi girl
00:23:44 Hey Sandy
00:23:45 You going home?
00:23:47 Let me put it this way
00:23:49 I'm getting up out of here
00:23:52 I wish I could go
00:23:54 What's wrong?
00:23:56 That guy at the bar
00:23:57 I don't think he's ever gonna leave
00:24:00 Oh you're talking about Arnie?
00:24:03 Child, don't worry about him.
00:24:04 He probably just lost track of time
00:24:06 But now if you need to get going
00:24:07 You just bring his check to him,
00:24:09 Travis runs a tab for him
00:24:11 Well, does he always stay this late?
00:24:13 Always
00:24:15 You stick around here you see for yourself
00:24:17 Have a good night darlin'
00:24:18 You too. Good night
00:24:31 Here's your check
00:24:50 Just eight?
00:24:53 I coulda sworn I had at least nine
00:24:56 No, just eight
00:25:00 Do you have a pen?
00:25:02 Yeah
00:25:07 I don't recognize you
00:25:10 You new around here or something?
00:25:12 I just started a few nights ago
00:25:14 Oh
00:25:21 Have you got a name?
00:25:24 Lizzie
00:25:26 Lizzie
00:25:29 Well, it's been a pleasure getting
00:25:35 What do you mean?
00:25:37 You won't be seeing much more of me
00:25:41 Why's that?
00:25:44 Well I don't have much reason
00:25:51 Tonight was my last night of drinking
00:25:54 Oh
00:25:57 Yeah
00:26:00 So, you just give that to Travis
00:26:04 Tell him I'll cut him a check
00:26:08 Ok
00:26:15 That's for you
00:26:17 Thank you
00:26:23 Bye
00:26:40 Oh, hi
00:26:43 Do you have a twin sister?
00:26:45 No
00:26:46 I wish I did
00:26:48 Yeah? Well, I'm glad I don't have a twin
00:26:51 One of me's plenty
00:26:55 Well, let's see I'm just gonna
00:26:59 and a side of string beans
00:27:01 Ok
00:27:02 Coming right up
00:27:08 Hey! Knock that crap off over there!
00:27:11 This is a restaurant, not a damn dancehall!
00:27:22 How come you're working so hard, Lizzie?
00:27:25 I'm trying to save up for a car
00:27:28 Where are you going?
00:27:31 Well, I don't have any specific destination
00:27:35 I'm just gonna go until
00:27:38 I wish I could do that
00:27:39 Here's your change
00:27:42 You put that towards a Buick
00:27:44 Thank you
00:27:51 Hi
00:27:53 Wait what are you doing here?
00:27:54 What?
00:27:55 What are you doing here?
00:27:56 Oh, I'm celebrating
00:27:59 What are you celebrating?
00:28:00 My last night of drinking!
00:28:04 He's not giving you a hard time, is he?
00:28:07 I think he just wants to talk
00:28:09 That's funny,
00:28:13 He's not hitting on you, is he?
00:28:15 No. I don't think it's like that
00:28:19 It's too bad
00:28:20 Be nice to see him take an interest in a woman
00:28:22 I thought he was married
00:28:23 Yeah, that's precisely the problem.
00:28:35 Holy shit
00:28:49 Travis, how's it hanging?
00:28:51 Always a pleasure, Sue Lynne
00:28:53 You always say that to me
00:28:55 and I never know whether you mean it
00:28:57 I'm just dropping in to use the ladies' room
00:29:00 Do I have to buy a beer first?
00:29:01 Your money's no good here, Sue Lynne
00:29:40 Have you got a moment?
00:29:42 I got nothing to say to you
00:30:09 Arnie?
00:30:14 Arnie?
00:30:18 Yeah?
00:30:26 I know its none of my business
00:30:31 but have you ever thought about cutting back.
00:30:35 Have I thought about it?
00:30:55 What are these?
00:30:59 A group I go to sometimes, Lizzie,
00:31:04 has this system.
00:31:10 After a meeting,
00:31:13 they invite the new people to come down and
00:31:17 pick up a white chip.
00:31:24 You take it as a symbol of your intention
00:31:29 to stay sober.
00:31:35 And if you
00:31:38 slip up and drink again
00:31:44 you got to come back and pick up another chip.
00:31:56 This one is for ninety days.
00:32:01 I got that far.
00:32:03 Once.
00:32:18 See all those white chips, Lizzie?
00:32:24 I am the king of the white chip.
00:33:04 Dear Jeremy.
00:33:06 I thought about what Arnie said
00:33:10 how to focus your attention on something else
00:33:13 in order to cure your addiction.
00:33:17 If I was an addict, I'd choose blueberry pie
00:33:27 Writing to your boyfriend?
00:33:30 No, just someone I know.
00:33:33 Why not pick up the phone?
00:33:37 Some things are better on paper.
00:33:40 Oh you think so?
00:33:58 What are you doing?
00:34:01 Well, you know
00:34:03 I listened to what you said the other day.
00:34:06 So I'm trying to write a letter to my wife.
00:34:11 We don't talk to each other much anymore
00:34:13 so I thought maybe I'd try your method.
00:34:47 Randy!
00:34:49 Oh my God!
00:35:02 Arnie! Arnie! Stop! Arnie!
00:35:17 Okay I got. Easy now, watch your back.
00:35:19 You'll be alright, man!
00:35:36 Hello, is that the Memphis Bar and Grill?
00:35:39 It is! Great.
00:35:40 Listen, I wonder if you could help me please.
00:35:42 I'm looking for a young woman
00:35:46 Yes. I realize that.
00:35:49 I'm sure it's delicious.
00:35:50 I wonder,
00:35:54 Elizabeth!
00:35:56 Elizabeth.
00:35:57 That's what I said, Elizabeth.
00:35:58 E-L-l-Z-A-B-
00:36:01 No, alright, thank you.
00:36:02 Thank you.
00:36:04 Good God, it's Jeremy!
00:36:07 Yeah it's me!
00:36:08 I never thought I'd hear your voice again.
00:36:10 Well, you see I got your postcard and...
00:36:12 This sounds ridiculous but...
00:36:14 Well I traced every Memphis bar and grill.
00:36:16 There must be at least ninety.
00:36:17 I know its crazy and...
00:36:19 I just wanted to say
00:36:22 I miss you. I miss your company.
00:36:24 I never thought I'd hear from you again!
00:36:28 It's not really you is it?
00:36:30 No I know you don't know me.
00:36:32 But your name's Elizabeth.
00:36:35 Well, I just... I just wanted
00:36:37 I just wanted to say hello really, and...
00:36:40 I wanted to speak to my friend.
00:36:42 Yeah.
00:36:44 No no,
00:36:47 Thanks.
00:36:49 Thanks for listening.
00:36:52 Bye.
00:36:56 Goddamn son of a bitch...
00:36:59 I need to talk to you!
00:37:01 Not in here. Let's take this outside.
00:37:02 No! I want to talk about it right here!
00:37:06 So you feel more like a man now do you?
00:37:09 You feel all big and strong.
00:37:12 I mean you could have killed him!
00:37:14 Yeah, no body ever said sleeping
00:37:17 was a safe vocation.
00:37:18 Oh goddammit Arnie!
00:37:20 We're, we're separated!
00:37:22 I don't live with you anymore!
00:37:24 I don't talk to you anymore!
00:37:25 You are my goddamn wife!
00:37:26 And I am still your goddamn husband!
00:37:29 No, no you're not...
00:37:31 Not anymore.
00:37:33 Well then what am I?
00:37:36 You're nothing.
00:37:38 Nothing to me.
00:37:40 Sue Lynne, please, please, please baby.
00:37:43 Don't do this, don't do this to me.
00:37:45 I love you, I love you so much.
00:37:48 I just, I just need a little more time.
00:37:50 Goddammit Arnie!
00:37:52 No, no you gotta let me go.
00:37:55 I can't do it anymore.
00:37:58 I'm gonna go, I'm restart my life
00:38:00 and I'm gonna get me a job.
00:38:02 You're gonna get a job, right?
00:38:04 Yes I am.
00:38:05 You don't need a job...
00:38:07 What with all those boyfriends of yours.
00:38:09 All you gotta do is just start charging.
00:38:12 You bastard!
00:38:15 YOU GODDAMN BASTARD!!
00:38:18 You bastard Arnie!
00:38:19 I'm through with you!
00:38:22 You hear me? I'm through!
00:38:24 I'm through with you! It is over! It is over!
00:38:27 You understand me?
00:38:43 Sue Lynne,
00:38:45 I swear to god, if you walk out of here,
00:38:48 I'll kill you.
00:38:58 Then what?
00:39:02 Arnie, be calm now...
00:39:04 you don't want to do this.
00:39:06 It's over!
00:40:32 It's too much.
00:40:34 Nuh uh.
00:40:36 No no no...
00:40:42 You're saving up to buy a car, right?
00:40:48 Well, l...
00:40:53 junker.
00:40:56 So some cop can pull you over
00:41:04 Thank you.
00:41:43 Wait.
00:41:47 You forgot these.
00:42:02 Yeah... you can just get rid of those.
00:42:29 The police said it was an accident.
00:42:31 He couldn't see where he was going
00:42:33 and he skidded off the road.
00:43:33 Can you give me a vodka?
00:43:54 This is my first drink in six years.
00:43:58 Haven't touched the stuff for six years.
00:44:14 Hey everybody!
00:44:16 Let's all drink to Arnie Copeland.
00:44:19 He was guardian of our highways
00:44:22 and defender of our freedom!
00:44:36 Well, this stuff tastes pretty darn awful.
00:44:41 But I guess nobody drinks it
00:44:45 Give me another one.
00:45:49 Cheeseburgers?
00:45:55 Whiskey?
00:45:59 This isn't mine.
00:46:01 It's Arnie's tab.
00:46:19 What am I supposed to do with this?
00:46:23 Put it in a frame and hang it on my wall?
00:46:31 Travis wants you to settle it.
00:46:37 Travis!
00:46:43 What are you giving this to me for!?
00:46:48 This is Arnie's tab, not mine!
00:46:51 Why are you giving this to me!?
00:46:54 He was your husband.
00:46:56 Or does that matter at all?
00:46:57 He's dead!
00:47:00 So if you want your money,
00:47:04 Don't give this to me!
00:47:06 Oh God, what a piece of work you are...
00:47:08 God only knows what Arnie saw in you.
00:47:11 I hate you Travis!
00:47:17 I hate you...
00:47:23 Lizzie!
00:47:25 Make sure she gets home safe.
00:47:27 Go on now.
00:47:28 Go on!
00:47:44 Hey Sue Lynne?
00:47:50 Sue Lynne?
00:47:53 It's late.
00:47:56 Come on let me take you home.
00:48:14 I was
00:48:17 seventeen when he pulled me over.
00:48:23 High as a kite.
00:48:29 ''You been drinking, Miss? ''
00:48:34 So I smiled.
00:48:37 Bat my eyes.
00:48:43 Who'd have thought we'd be married.
00:48:49 In love with a cop,
00:48:53 and stuck in this godforesaken town.
00:49:00 He was so crazy about me.
00:49:06 I couldn't breathe.
00:49:12 So we tried
00:49:16 drinking our way back into love.
00:49:22 But it never made sense in the morning.
00:49:29 So I ran.
00:49:34 And every time I came back,
00:49:38 he was here.
00:49:41 And he was still crazy about me.
00:49:49 You know,
00:49:54 I used to daydream about him dying.
00:50:02 I thought it was the
00:50:06 only way I'd get clear of him.
00:50:15 You must have hated him.
00:50:21 I didn't hate him.
00:50:27 I just wanted him to
00:50:32 let go of me.
00:50:36 And...
00:50:41 now that he has,
00:50:49 it hurts me more than
00:50:55 anything else in the whole world.
00:51:10 This is where we met.
00:51:22 Right here.
00:52:27 Well, I heard you had a day job
00:52:31 I'm saving for a car
00:52:32 Well, I'm leaving town for good so
00:52:36 I wanted to take care of a few things
00:52:38 Arnie's tab came out to eight hundred dollars
00:52:43 I guess you can give it to Travis and
00:52:46 he can mark the debt paid
00:52:49 I'll give it to Travis tonight
00:52:52 Shock might give him a heart attack
00:53:10 I have a favor to ask you
00:53:15 Could you keep his bill hanging?
00:53:21 So they don't forget him too soon?
00:53:27 OK
00:53:59 I guess for Sue Lynne,
00:54:06 I wonder how people would remember Arnie
00:54:11 When you're gone,
00:54:14 you created in other people's lives
00:54:19 or just a couple of items on a bill
00:54:30 I began receiving postcards from her regularly
00:54:33 Instead of calling strangers,
00:54:39 It was tiring writing the same words over
00:54:43 but all worth it
00:55:04 I always had the feeling
00:55:09 Enclosed is a bill I've created for you
00:55:11 in memory of our time together
00:55:16 I wonder how you remember me
00:55:21 As the girl who liked blueberry pies
00:55:27 or the girl with the broken heart?
00:55:32 DAY 1853,906 since ny
00:56:53 Still rolling your own cigarettes?
00:57:01 You want one?
00:57:03 Yeah
00:57:19 Tastes different
00:57:22 It's probably just been in my pocket too long
00:57:29 It's a shame you can't smoke in cafes anymore
00:57:32 You can't smoke anywhere anymore
00:57:36 You should've changed the place
00:57:39 It's not that much different
00:57:41 I've been meaning to buy new chairs
00:57:43 but I couldn't never find any that match
00:57:45 the tables and the tiles
00:57:48 Shouldn't be hard
00:57:50 Maybe you're just looking
00:57:53 maybe you're just sentimental
00:58:00 You look lovely
00:58:01 I'm starting to look like my mom
00:58:04 It's better than looking like your dad
00:58:05 I've seen photos of him
00:58:16 You still have the keys?
00:58:20 Yeah... I always remember what you said
00:58:24 about never throwing them away, about never
00:58:26 closing those doors forever. I remember
00:58:30 Sometimes, even if you have the keys
00:58:34 those doors still
00:58:37 can't be opened, can they?
00:58:42 Even if the door is open
00:58:44 the person you're looking for
00:58:54 A few years ago, I had a dream
00:58:58 It began in the summer
00:59:00 and was over by the following spring
00:59:05 In between, there was as many unhappy nights
00:59:08 as there were happy days
00:59:10 Most of them took place in this cafe
00:59:16 And then one night
00:59:18 a door slammed and the dream was over
00:59:37 I should be going
00:59:40 I have to catch a flight in the morning
00:59:43 Thanks for the smoke.
00:59:53 You know,
00:59:57 Why'd you come?
01:00:02 I guess I just wanted to see
01:00:07 what it felt like
01:00:21 Goodbye, Jeremy
01:00:31 Bye, Katya
01:00:46 DAY 2515,603 miles since ny
01:00:49 Cocktails?
01:00:50 A screwdriver, please
01:00:51 Here you go
01:00:52 Dear Jeremy
01:00:55 I've always been fascinated by card players
01:00:59 They risk everything on their instincts
01:01:03 I wonder if I would be able
01:01:06 in their position
01:01:08 Or would I just fold?
01:01:12 Sweetheart, do you mind?
01:01:18 Uh-oh look at that
01:01:21 She gets another one this kid
01:01:22 You know Leslie you got that fancy Jag
01:01:24 you working on a Rolls Royce now?
01:01:27 Aloha, you forgot to tip the waitress
01:01:30 Actually I didn't forget dick
01:01:32 Because I never tip
01:01:33 What do you mean you never tip?
01:01:35 I mean Harlan can afford to pay his own people
01:01:37 I don't know why I have to
01:01:38 You can be cheap or you can be lucky
01:01:40 but you can't be both. Not in the long run
01:01:42 Here ya go, toots
01:01:44 That is from Mr. Aloha over there
01:01:47 He's gonna pay me back, he doesn't know it yet
01:01:50 Thanks
01:01:52 Your luck just went south
01:01:54 Who's blinds?
01:01:57 Working long hours in the casino
01:02:02 And I'm never sure whether it's day or night
01:02:06 But at least I don't have to worry about
01:02:11 Somehow it's gone away
01:02:23 How much you got left, sweet cheeks?
01:02:25 Because that's what I bet
01:02:31 Eighteen-twenty
01:02:35 You on a big draw, Aloha?
01:02:37 Because otherwise you're just about dead
01:02:51 You are on a big draw
01:02:53 Twelve outs twice
01:02:55 You wanna do business?
01:02:56 Make me an offer
01:02:58 How about you take six hundred
01:03:00 and we gamble for the rest?
01:03:02 I say I need more than that
01:03:04 Doesn't seem fair to you?
01:03:05 I feel like gambling
01:03:07 So what do you want me to do?
01:03:08 You heard the man.
01:03:10 He wants to gamble. Deal
01:03:16 Bet you wish you took that six hundred now,
01:03:20 Don't get too cocky little girl
01:03:22 Five of hearts still in that deck
01:03:24 Oh come on
01:03:26 We can all dream, Aloha
01:03:30 I wish you luck
01:03:32 Why don't you deal the card?
01:03:33 Fine
01:03:38 Wait, wait, how did you do that?
01:03:41 Ok I swear I wasn't cheating
01:03:43 I had the deck in my hand
01:03:46 Pass it to the sugardaddy here
01:03:48 I'm telling my grandkids about that one
01:03:55 Maybe
01:03:58 A salad. That'd be healthy, right?
01:04:01 I don't think I could get it down though
01:04:03 All that chewing and swallowing
01:04:07 Maybe I'll get some eggs
01:04:10 Protein, right?
01:04:11 How would you like them?
01:04:13 Tied in a knot and nailed to the floor
01:04:15 Or maybe you can just crack 'em over my head
01:04:18 and let 'em trickle down my cheeks
01:04:23 Beth
01:04:26 Why don't I just go ask them right now?
01:04:32 So who is gonna lend me a grand
01:04:36 Sam, come on, this is me we're talking about
01:04:40 Why can't you just advance me the cash
01:04:44 and I will wire you back the money
01:04:47 You won't even have a chance to miss it
01:04:51 Yeah?
01:04:52 Well fuck you very much!
01:04:58 Rough night, huh?
01:05:00 You could say that
01:05:05 How did you wind up in this hellhole?
01:05:07 The bus just dropped me off here
01:05:09 Where'd you come from?
01:05:10 New York
01:05:11 You came all the way here
01:05:14 Sounds awful
01:05:16 Actually, I was on quite a few of them
01:05:20 You must love buses
01:05:22 I wanna get a car but
01:05:25 it's not easy saving money
01:05:27 How much you got?
01:05:29 About twenty-one, twenty-two hundred
01:05:37 Hey Beth
01:05:41 I've got a proposition for you
01:05:43 What kind of proposition?
01:05:45 See, I need a stake
01:05:48 There's a man I could call in Vegas
01:05:50 but I don't want to do that
01:05:52 I'm gonna win that game
01:05:54 I'm a stronger player than any of them
01:05:57 If you give me a chance
01:06:03 How much do you need?
01:06:05 Well your twenty two hundred
01:06:09 And then, once I cash out
01:06:12 you'll get your money back plus a third
01:06:16 But what if you lose?
01:06:19 If I lose, you get my car
01:06:24 It's a brand new Jag
01:06:26 This way
01:06:28 whatever happens
01:06:29 you've got your ass covered
01:06:36 You got to give me a minute here
01:06:38 It's been a long night
01:06:45 I got an empty stomach. Just give me a minute
01:06:48 You take your time
01:06:49 I wouldn't want you choking on your food
01:06:54 Shit it's cold!
01:06:55 I know
01:07:31 I'll do it
01:07:33 Oh my, look who's back
01:07:36 I thought you'd be halfway to Vegas
01:07:39 I figure why not let you pay for my gas
01:08:06 Gotta raise again
01:08:09 Five hundred
01:08:15 Oh one of these days
01:08:17 something when you raise!
01:08:19 Listen, why don't you just wink at me
01:08:21 so I know, alright?
01:09:12 Raise
01:09:16 I'm all in
01:09:26 You want to give me a count on that?
01:09:29 Fifteen... Fifteen thirty-five
01:09:37 Too rich for me
01:09:51 I don't know what's worse
01:09:52 That cute smile or that ugly shirt
01:09:58 I'll give you some action
01:10:09 Hey
01:10:13 Hey, what happened?
01:10:15 The car's yours
01:10:18 You've got to give me a ride though
01:10:32 So where we going?
01:10:33 Vegas
01:10:41 She said she knew some people
01:10:44 get her started again
01:10:46 But she didn't seem
01:10:55 Hey Leslie, are you asleep?
01:10:59 No
01:11:01 I keep playing old poker hands in my head
01:11:05 You?
01:11:07 Same
01:11:09 Except for the poker
01:11:11 What are you replaying?
01:11:14 Just some stuff that happened back
01:11:20 Hey, the man you told me about in Vegas
01:11:23 that could give you the money
01:11:25 Yeah?
01:11:27 Is he a boyfriend?
01:11:30 No
01:11:32 I haven't had very much luck with boyfriends
01:11:34 I've had a few but
01:11:36 none that I could ever ask for anything,
01:11:42 Now you want to know who the man in Vegas is
01:11:46 but you're too polite to ask
01:11:47 No
01:11:50 It's not important
01:11:53 He's my father
01:11:55 Taught me how to play poker
01:12:00 He had me figuring odds around the same time
01:12:02 other kids were learning how to count
01:12:05 He used to tell people
01:12:06 that I thought the number that came after ten
01:12:09 was Jack
01:12:13 So I can ask him for money or anything, but
01:12:20 I won't
01:12:35 Trust everyone but always cut the cards
01:12:39 Best thing my father ever taught me
01:12:42 You know what that means?
01:12:43 It means never trust anybody
01:12:47 If you're so good at reading people
01:12:49 Then why did I lose?
01:12:50 Yeah
01:12:51 Because you can't always win
01:12:53 You can beat players but you can't beat luck
01:12:57 Sometimes your rhythm's off
01:12:59 you read the person right
01:13:02 Because you trust them?
01:13:03 Because you can't even trust yourself
01:13:06 Shit
01:13:10 Nobody I want to hear from
01:13:12 Nobody?
01:13:13 Nobody!
01:13:29 How did you get this number?
01:13:31 You know this is the third time this month
01:13:34 Just leave me the hell alone! Stop calling!
01:13:40 Dammit!
01:13:41 Beth, answer it for me
01:13:44 What do you want me to say?
01:13:45 Tell them its the wrong number
01:13:47 Okay
01:13:50 Hello?
01:13:52 Sorry, you have-
01:13:54 From where?
01:13:57 Okay
01:14:00 Okay... you sure?
01:14:03 Okay, thank you... bye
01:14:09 It was someone from a hospital in Vegas
01:14:12 They said your dad's there
01:14:15 And they said he's dying
01:14:20 Son of a bitch
01:14:22 That man... always dying
01:14:34 It's a trick, okay?
01:14:37 He's pulled this on me before
01:14:39 Says he has to see me, he's dying
01:14:41 And then
01:14:42 you know how many times I've fallen for that?
01:14:44 But it was someone from the hospital
01:14:47 So what Beth?
01:14:49 You think he couldn't pay someone
01:14:50 to make the phone call for him?
01:14:53 I swear, is there anyone you don't trust?
01:14:58 Well he must really want to see you
01:15:26 Geez, you are just dying to ask me something
01:15:29 What?
01:15:30 I didn't say anything
01:15:31 You didn't have to. I can read you
01:15:33 I can even guess what you wanna ask
01:15:36 You wanna ask
01:15:39 ''What if he is dying? ''
01:15:42 Well what if he is?
01:15:47 The thing is Beth
01:15:49 I don't care
01:15:51 He lives, he dies
01:15:53 whatever
01:15:55 I don't fucking care
01:16:06 You're lying
01:16:30 I'm not going in there
01:16:31 What?
01:16:32 I can't. What- what if I go in there
01:16:35 and he's just sitting up in his room
01:16:38 with his dead beat friends playing gin rummy
01:16:40 or, I dunno, detoxing, getting a mole removed
01:16:45 You know it's more serious than that
01:16:46 No, I don't know that and neither do you
01:16:52 Listen, you do me a favor.
01:16:55 Me?
01:16:57 Why me?
01:16:59 Because you are safe.
01:17:03 Go, c'mon
01:17:13 Fine
01:17:25 I am sorry
01:17:27 You know we tried to phone a couple days
01:17:29 but couldn't seem to reach you
01:17:32 He was-
01:17:33 You should've come earlier
01:17:44 He put you up to this!?
01:17:47 How much he pay you huh!?
01:17:49 Jesus
01:17:50 You're so good at reading people?
01:17:52 Can't you see it in my face!?
01:17:56 Leslie, he's gone!
01:18:03 You're lying
01:19:13 Beth
01:19:16 I can't give you the car
01:19:20 Why?
01:19:22 Because the car
01:19:27 the car belonged to my father
01:19:32 Look, he won big one day in a Hold'em game
01:19:38 went out and bought the next day
01:19:40 It was his pride and joy
01:19:45 Til one day I stole his keys,
01:19:50 I don't know why I did it
01:19:52 Maybe I just
01:19:53 wanted to see what he would do, you know?
01:19:56 Was he gonna report it?
01:19:57 Get his daughter arrested?
01:20:03 He did something better than that
01:20:06 He waited until he found out where I wound up
01:20:09 One morning
01:20:10 a FedEx guy comes with an envelope for me
01:20:13 Inside the envelope's the title
01:20:20 Son of a bitch signed it over to me
01:20:26 So
01:20:27 I'm gonna drive this car until it falls apart
01:20:31 At least until I do
01:20:38 So what am I supposed to?
01:20:41 Well, Beth
01:20:45 I told you I lost everything back at Harlan's,
01:20:48 Yeah
01:20:49 Well, that's not exactly how it went down
01:20:54 See, I beat that game on its ass, Beth
01:20:58 I knocked them off their feet
01:21:01 The cards turned just like I knew they would
01:21:04 I read the other players just right
01:21:09 I walked away with all their money
01:21:12 So you lied to me
01:21:16 Maybe I didn't want to share
01:21:18 Maybe I just wanted to see how trusting
01:21:23 Maybe I just wanted company. You know?
01:21:27 It's a long ride, Beth
01:21:30 I didn't want to go alone
01:22:11 Can't do it.
01:22:14 Three thousand. That's my top
01:22:16 Can't. Gotta have thirty-five hundred. Sorry
01:22:19 Thirty-two hundred. Take it or leave it
01:22:21 You know what?
01:22:21 I'm sure we can find a better deal
01:22:24 I don't think you will, ladies.
01:22:27 Thank you!
01:22:29 Don't look back
01:22:31 Beth, where are you going?
01:22:32 I want that car
01:22:33 Beth not at that price!
01:22:34 We can get it for three grand by the time
01:22:38 I don't think he's gonna come down
01:22:40 And I think that's the car I want
01:22:43 Have you learned nothing
01:22:46 You have to stop taking people at their word!
01:22:50 Maybe you should start
01:22:54 You're hopeless
01:22:56 You're hopeless too
01:23:14 Dear Jeremy
01:23:16 In the last few days,
01:23:20 and I'm glad I failed
01:23:32 Sometimes we depend on other people
01:23:35 To define us and tell us who we are
01:23:40 And each reflection makes me
01:23:45 Elizabeth
01:24:12 Hello, Cafe Klyuch
01:24:13 DAY 300 ny
01:24:53 Rent
01:25:41 You still open?
01:25:43 No reason for me to still be here if I wasn't
01:25:47 I heard this place has the best coffee
01:25:50 Where'd you hear that?
01:25:52 I get around
01:25:57 You wanna come inside?
01:26:00 It's cold
01:26:02 What are you doing out here? It's freezing
01:26:04 It's a beautiful night.
01:26:07 Have a seat
01:26:13 Isn't this reserved?
01:26:16 Reserved for you
01:26:23 Want something to eat?
01:26:27 Yeah, I'm starving
01:26:30 What's good tonight?
01:26:32 What about a steak?
01:26:35 That sounds good
01:26:38 Does it come with home fries?
01:26:39 Or mashed
01:26:40 They both sound good
01:26:42 Half an order of both?
01:26:45 I'll get the home fries with the steak,
01:26:48 and a side of mashed potatoes
01:26:50 Coming right up
01:27:04 Learning something about me?
01:27:08 There's something different about you
01:27:10 Or maybe it's me that's changed
01:27:14 Where are the keys?
01:27:16 You don't keep them anymore?
01:27:19 Been trying to give them back to their owners
01:27:22 Do you want yours?
01:27:23 No. I don't need them anymore
01:27:28 What about your keys?
01:27:32 I got rid of them
01:27:37 Good night, Jeremy
01:27:38 I'll see you tomorrow
01:27:54 You know I came here the night I left
01:27:57 but I didn't make it past the front door
01:28:03 I almost walked in but I knew that if I did
01:28:06 I would just be the same old Elizabeth
01:28:10 I didn't want to be that person anymore
01:28:27 Hope you enjoy it
01:28:39 Are they still left untouched at the end
01:28:41 Yep, more or less
01:28:45 Then why do you keep making them?
01:28:51 Well I always like having one around
01:28:53 you pop in and fancy a slice
01:29:02 Do you remember that last night
01:29:06 When you practically ate an entire pie
01:29:09 Really?
01:29:12 I remember getting really drunk and
01:29:15 having a god awful hangover the next day
01:29:19 Nothing else?
01:29:23 No, nothing else
01:29:31 Or don't you have a tape I can watch?
01:29:35 I do... but...
01:29:37 I've watched it so many times
01:29:39 that the picture started fading
01:29:41 And now it's completely unwatchable
01:29:44 Must have been an interesting night
01:29:45 It was
01:29:52 Never seen a girl eat so much in all my life
01:29:58 Like this?
01:30:03 No, it was more like this
01:30:12 It's good pie
01:31:41 It took me nearly a year to get here
01:31:47 It wasn't so hard to
01:31:51 It all depends on who's waiting for you
