Scenes with Lana
13 scenesLet's make love on a real train.
This is a beautiful place, Ralph. Is it all yours?
It's my folks', actually.
Do you know what it's worth?
A lot, probably.
Oh, yeah! Real estate? It's fabulous!
Look, Lana... uh, my name isn't really Ralph. It's Joel.
Mmmm. I'll be needing 300 bucks...Joel.
You're kidding.
No, I don't believe that I am.
Can I send it to you?
Can you send it to me, Joel?
Well, uh, it's just that I don't have that much here in the house.
How much do you have?
I have 50 dollars.
50 dollars? What are we going to do about this, Joel?
I don't know.
I, uh, have a bond at the bank. I could go cash that.
I'm not good at waiting for people.
I'll be quick.
Give it a try.
This is my friend, Miles.
Do you like excitement, Miles?
Love it.
So is this Guido guy... he's your "manager"?
Lana: That's right.
Or a pimp?
Now that's quick Joel. Have you always been this quick, or is this something new?
I don't believe this! I've got a trig midterm tomorrow, and I'm being chased by Guido the killer pimp.
Will you do me a favor?
Anything, cookie.
Don't steal anything. If I come back here and anything's missing, I'm going straight to the police. I'm not joking.
Joel, go to school. Go learn something.
So, I was thinking...if we ever got our friends together, we'd make a fortune!
Yeah. You're right.
Do you want to do that?
Do what?
Get our friends together in the next few days.
No. I don't think so.
Make some money. Be a little enterpriser.
Future enterpriser.
Be whatever you want to be. What if I said I'd be your girlfriend for the next few nights?
No charge?
Hey, I'm not pushing you on the idea. It's just that my mind keeps working all the time. Nothing I can do about it. It keeps working and working.
How come you left home?
Why?
I was just wondering.
Because my step-father kept coming on to me. What else do you want to know?
Do you have any brothers and sisters?
I have a brother. What else?
If you don't want to talk...
No, no. Ask me anything.
I don't think you want to talk and it's okay.
No, I really want to talk to you.
What does he do?
He's in school.
How come you're not in school?
I'm not my brother. I'm really trying to be friends with you. But I'd appreciate it if you'd stop trying to judge me while you're leaning on your daddy's 40 thousand dollar car. I'll see you around.
Was it something I said?
You've done some very solid work here, but it isn't quite lvy League, is it?
You know, Bill, there's one thing I learned in all my years. Sometimes you have to say "What the ****." Make your move.
I beg your pardon?
So, how are we doing?
Looks like University of Illinois!
I don't think I'm going to say, "What the ****" anymore. This thing has gotten way out of control. I'm going to kill Miles.
Oh, come on, Joel. Look at it this way. You're making a lot of money. You're providing your friends with an invaluable service. God knows, they needed the service! And, right now, you are one hot-shit future enterpriser. Don't worry so much. I'll be upstairs. And... you have a girlfriend to boot.
Do I?
...
Well, do I?
What do you think?
I don't know. You tell me. Yes? No? Maybe?
Yes...No...Maybe. [kisses Joel]
I was just thinking...where we might be ten years from now.
You know what I think? I think we're both going to make it big! I'm very optimistic! I mean it!
Can I ask you something? Was our night together just to set up Vicki and Guido?
No. You don't believe me, do you?
Guess we won't see each other for awhile.
I know.
Are you going straight home now?
I don't know. Why?
It might be nice if we spent the evening together.
I'd really like that. [pause] How much have you got on you?
How much have I got on me?
Yeah.
I've got twenty bucks.
Twenty bucks, Lana? What are we going to do about this?
Well, it's just that I don't have that much on me.
Can I send it to you?
Can you send it to me?
'Cause I don't have that much here. How about I write you a check?
Do you think I'd take a check from you? What am I, stupid?
I have a bond at the bank.
Some of the girls are wearing my mother's clothing.
What's wrong with that?
I just don't want to spend the rest of my life in analysis.
