Anomalisa (2015) Edit

A Mr. Stone is here to see you.

A toy store? You mean, a toy store?

Across the pond. The States. The trolley. Cheerio. Put another shrimp on the Barbie.

After all that fucking fucking?

After all we did? After all those fucking promises?

After you, sir.

All of us here.

All those ach's.

Always remember, the customer is an individual.

Amarossi. Okay.

America is going down the tubes and you're talking about goddamn intelligent design.

And come downstairs immediately. Do you hear?

And having a pleasing phone voice and manner.

And here we are.

And I brought my Sarah Brightman CDs.

And I have a fake tooth in the front because I fell and hit a cement bench with my mouth.

And I love Japanese, obviously.

And if you need to have an affair, I understand, but have it with me.

And place it in the space at the bottom of the door.

And the blanket turned down all ready for sleepy time.

And the chili. You only need, like, an hour for the chili.

And the next...

And the only reason he pursued me was because he thought he'd have a good shot.

And the temperature is 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

And the wild caught copper river Alaska salmon amandine.

And there you were, so...

And what does it cost you? A smile is free.

And you gotta try the Cincinnati chili. It's chili like you never had. Trust me.

And you need to speak to Henry and explain that this isn't about him.

And you'll be with us for just one night, sir?

And your products or services.

And...

Anomalisa.

Anomalisa.

Anomaly. I like the way it sounds and I like what it means.

Anyway, I bought one of those... self teaching...

Anyway, I can't wait to see you when I get back. How's Thursday?

Anyway, I don't know how to put this, so I'll just put it.

Anyway, yes, don't forget to smile. It makes a person's day.

Apple Flats, Strawberry Trifles, Knick Knacks, Scroochies?

Are you hungry? We could order breakfast.

Are you ladies in customer services?

Are you okay?

Are you? That's great. I'm glad to hear your voice.

At 2:30 today.

At the bar. I have to go to work early, so... I can't stay very long.

Be friendly to the customer. Think of the customer as a friend.

Be friendly.

Because it's easier to manipulate dumb workers and soldiers.

Because she's got such a great voice and she doesn't care what people think about her.

Because you'll see how dumb I am. Shut up, Lisa.

Because... because I like you.

Before I used to know there was a word for it, it made me

Bella!

Blank blank blank V blank blank blank. Right?

Breeding programs, you know. It's famous for it. Pandas. Other things.

But for fuck's sake, Michael. I don't know who I am.

But I don't think you can tell. They matched it pretty well.

But it is. It's about him, too.

But just like completely suddenly?

But nothing comes out. I need tears.

Buttonish?

Buttony. No, that's not it.

Certainly, hoteliers are in the business of being discreet about our guests'...

Check it out.

Cold! Fuck you! Fuck!

Come on, Henry. Daddy's waiting.

Come on. It'd make me so happy to hear you sing.

Could you come up here, please?

Damn straight.

Darren McGavin.

Dear Michael, I'm sorry to see you go, but I understand.

Dear Michael. Fuck you. Just fuck you.

Death comes, that's it.

Did anything change? Did a change occur? Did a...

Did I do something wrong?

Did you know that? Try it as an experiment on the phone with a friend.

Do I look awful? I was just taking my makeup off.

Do you have any letters already?

Do you ladies know what you want?

Do you like any of these here? They're very pretty.

Do you like the fish? I just had them put in.

Do you realize that?

Do you talk during sex?

Do you want me to? Or not? I could do either.

Do you want to come in?

Do you want to hear it?

Do you want to maybe get a drink, Bella?

Do you want to maybe go up to my room for another drink?

Don't be shy. It'll be good. I really want to.

Don't laugh at me.

Each body has aches.

Each has a body.

Each person you speak to has had a childhood.

Eleven.

Em, I came here with you. I'm not going to just abandon you.

Emily and I splurged, because it's like a vacation. I'm an idiot.

Emily and I work for Tessman in Akron.

Emily got a Grande Chai.

Emily, stop it. What floor are we, anyway?

Emily's a prince... ess.

Everyone always likes Emily better.

Everyone is one person, but you and me.

Everything's just screwed up. I'm not thinking straight.

Exactly! That's exactly right. See, Em?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Feel bad to be different. Now I kind of like it. Sometimes.

Fill the tub with water, soak a towel,

Focus on that during your conversation.

Fuck you, asshole!

Fuck you!

Fuck!

Fuck!

Fuck! Fuck!

Fuck.

Fuck.

God, you drank that fast.

God! I don't know! It's been a long time.

Good morning, sir. My name is Lawrence Gill

Good night, Michael.

Good.

Good.

Good.

Good. I'm glad...

Goodbye.

Great! This is so great!

Have a good fucking life, Michael.

Have a seat.

Have a seat. Please.

Have fun. Good night.

Have it with anyone at all, anybody, just not Lisa.

He was almost 60 and fat and he worked in Human Resources

Hello there. I am looking for a toy for my son, Henry.

Hello, I'm here to see Mr. Gill.

Hello, miss? Shit. Shit!

Hello, Mr. Stone?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello. Can I help you? I thought you were someone else.

Hello. Lawrence Gill's office. May I help you?

Hello. May I help you?

Hello. Welcome to The Fregoli.

Hello. You can fuck me if you want, Mr. Stone.

Henry.

Here we are, folks. Two apple mojitos.

Here we are. Two Belvedere martinis straight up with twists.

Here's your breakfast, Mr. Stone.

Hey, Ma, look. An airplane.

Hey, that's Michael Stone.

Hi, Bella, it's Michael.

Hi, Bella, it's Michael.

Hi, Bella, it's Michael. Hi, Bella...

Hi, Daddy. I'm a pirate.

Hi, I wasn't sure... Hi... I...

Hi! Oh, my God! It's you.

Hold on!

Hold on. He's coming downstairs. He's in his pirate suit.

Hot!

Hot. Hot.

How did it happen?

How do you even know that, anyway?

How's the weather there now? Good?

Hurry, hurry. We're gonna miss the elevator. Go. Go, go, go!

I can move to Los Angeles. I could do that.

I can tell by your accent. And the whistling, that's British Airways.

I can't believe we bumped into you.

I can't believe you're in our room.

I can't explain.

I can't... I can't believe you.

I demand an explanation.

I didn't recognize your voice.

I don't care what anybody says. Godfrey loves me.

I don't even understand a lot of the words in your book. I sat there with a dictionary.

I don't get it. I don't get it. What are these words here?

I don't have the time to tell you. Just come!

I don't know yet.

I don't know, I'm not sure you want to be the victim

I don't know, Michael.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. Like, in any way? Like, in any way did you change?

I don't know. I just got it at a store. I don't know.

I don't know. It seems so big and...

I don't know. It's in Japanese. Press some buttons. It moves.

I don't like German. It sounds mean to me.

I don't like to say Jew's harp because it's offensive to ****.

I don't think I ever felt love like this was.

I don't want to lose you.

I don't want you to leave.

I don't...

I even got a massage tonight in the room.

I feel anxious, Michael. I feel something. Like you're different acting.

I feel like an anomaly.

I feel odd asking in front of you, Emily. But I didn't know how else...

I find it enormously charming that you read any book with a dictionary next to you.

I get a lot of practice.

I go this way, so I'll say good night.

I guess so.

I guess that fits right in with the teen pregnancy and the STDs.

I guess. I don't know what the hell you're getting at.

I have a charming deluxe smoking junior suite on the tenth floor

I have a kid.

I have a matter of some delicacy I need to talk to you about.

I have a pickup call at 16th and Lincoln. Anybody in the area?

I have no one to talk to.

I have to get ready for this speech.

I haven't been with anybody in eight years.

I hope to.

I hope you do, too. Sometime.

I just came out of this stupid relationship with a psycho. And I just...

I just don't know what else to do because...

I just don't understand why you would want to kiss me there.

I know! People think of it as just this thing, you know?

I know.

I know. 'Cause I love it. It's so... I don't know...

I learned that word in your book.

I like different languages.

I like that word.

I look forward to seeing you.

I looked at the road atlas and figured it's a little over 200 miles,

I looked up Anomarisa in my Japanese English dictionary.

I lose everyone.

I love Cyndi Lauper.

I love eggs. Scrambled is my favorite egg style.

I love French and Italian the most.

I love to read. Go to the movies. I'm pretty good at Scrabble.

I love you.

I love you.

I love you. And I want what's best for you.

I mean, I could, I guess. I don't know.

I mean, I guess I'm assuming there is going to be an all the time.

I mean, I sing. Everybody sings. I just don't sing well.

I mean, I'm not smart like Emily. And I'm ugly.

I mean, not a lot, but sometimes.

I mean, who are you? Who is anyone?

I mean, yeah. I mean, it's awfully sudden. I mean, I don't...

I need tears to tear me in two and let this nightmare escape, but...

I need to be with you. I want to leave my wife.

I need to go to The Fregoli.

I never went to college.

I ordered room service.

I see. Well, that sounds interesting.

I think the room will be to your liking, sir.

I think there's something very, very wrong with me.

I think you're extraordinary.

I think you're lovely.

I try to learn. But I'm never going to be smart. And I'm ugly.

I understand that you had a guest in your room last night.

I understand.

I want to cry, but I can't.

I want to learn Italian someday. It's so wonderful.

I was just looking for someone. I think I've got the wrong...

I was so pissed at you. I was so fucking hurt.

I was wondering if maybe you'd want to come to my room for a little nightcap.

I wasn't... I just...

I'll have an apple mojito, please. Can you make those with apple schnapps?

I'll have the bibb lettuce salad and the salmon.

I'll just need to make an imprint of your credit card, for incidentals,

I'll watch a movie or something. I don't know. I should get some sleep.

I'm at the hotel. How are you?

I'm blushing, too.

I'm glad to get you alone for a while.

I'm just here for a day.

I'm just really bloody lonely, and we had something.

I'm lost.

I'm married.

I'm not great to look at in bright sunlight.

I'm not sure.

I'm okay, I'm okay. It happens all the time.

I'm shaking.

I'm so glad we had this time together.

I'm so glad we had this time together.

I'm sorry to bother you. I was just looking for my friend's room.

I'm sorry, Henry. Mommy said a bad word.

I'm sorry, what did you say?

I'm sorry. Darling.

I'm sorry. Hold on.

I'm sorry. I don't mean to burden you with that.

I'm sorry. I'm a mess. I'm just...

I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I had to get you away. You weren't safe.

I'm sure you'll get more of those. I'm a sloppy sleeper.

I'm usually sitting next to my wife.

I'm working for the state, doing graphics for the health department.

I've always done phone work because I'd never get hired to work in a store

I've gained some weight.

I've missed you.

I've never heard of anything like this in my life.

I've waited for someone like you my whole life.

I've waited so long for someone to...

I've waited, too.

If it's okay for me to ask?

If the door is not hot, you may leave the room, but bring your room key with you

If you need anything at all, please just give us a ring.

If you take the elevator to the basement level and turn left when you get off,

In case exits are blocked and you need to get back in.

Is it stupid to like to press buttons?

Is it the Zoloft?

Is stowed beneath the seat in front of you or in the overhead bins.

Is that right? Or is it self learning?

Is there some problem?

Is there something we can do for you?

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter. It's all water under the fucking bridge.

It makes me special, sort of.

It should be there within 35 minutes, which will make it 9:48.

It turns out it means Goddess of Heaven.

It was beautiful.

It works. Do you sing?

It's a bald guy, right?

It's a goddamn mystery. It's like the goddamn mystery of the ages.

It's a reflex.

It's an anomaly, right?

It's been years since I've felt anything like this.

It's big, I know.

It's busier here than I would've thought.

It's changed since then. You ought to check it out, you know, while you're here.

It's good to hear your voice.

It's good to splurge every now and again.

It's hard to explain. I've been running for a long time now.

It's just a liquid, Henry. It's just a liquid.

It's just interesting.

It's just now. Some weird thing for just now.

It's just obvious to me that you are.

It's just so romantic.

It's just...

It's kind of weird because it's the only country in South America

It's Lakme, actually.

It's like a floodgate has opened. I can't close it. I don't want to.

It's like anomaly plus my name.

It's like not being able to come.

It's like out of the blue.

It's nice, I guess. Big bed.

It's not my night.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's open all night. Real class place.

It's quite unusual.

It's really lovely to see you.

It's such a great song. I want to be the one who walks in the sun.

It's your voice, Lisa.

It's... you know, it's a room.

Jesus, Michael, it's been so fucking long.

Jesus.

Just a little bit more gentle maybe. At first, maybe.

Just a minute, Henry! No, I'm on the phone!

Just a minute!

Just like you.

Just that I think it's more respectful.

Just up here to the left, sir.

Keep talking.

Kojak, not Kolchak.

LA chili? England chili? Forget about it.

Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to be the first to welcome you to Cincinnati,

Ladies and gentlemen, as we start our descent,

Let me get the waitress' attention.

Let's just lie together and you can tell me about your day.

Life can be.

Like, while we were together. Like, did I change you? Did you change?

Lisa the moron. I don't... I don't stay in hotels like this.

Lisa, you're being nuts.

Lisa!

Lisa! Lisa!

Listen, do you feel that you changed?

Look how neat you left your room,

Love, Bella.

Love, Lisa Anomalisa Hesselman.

Magic.

Make some noises.

Make some noises.

Make sure your seat belt is fastened securely and all carry on luggage

Many, many important, you know, whatchamacallit, endangered species,

May I kiss you there?

May I speak to Bella Amarossi, please?

May I speak to Bella Amarossi, please?

Maybe if we can just turn a little bit like this?

Maybe someday we'll meet again under better circumstances.

Me? No, no, no. Everything's fine. I'm just...

Me.

Michael, do you realize that we love you?

Michael, you're freaking me out. I can't take being more freaked out right now.

Michael?

Michael? Michael?

Michael? Michael? Michael?

Mojitos.

Mojitos. Mojitos. What a funny word.

Most people don't really like to look at me too much because, you know...

Most people like Emily.

Mother, Godfrey loves me. He put me in the shower.

My boss is a dick.

My face squeezes into that crying contortion you all know so well

My last boyfriend was eight years ago. And he wasn't even my boyfriend.

My mother was right when she said you're a bitch.

My stomach hurts. It feels empty. It's clenched.

Nah, that's British Airways.

Nibble O's, Choco bricks,

No, don't try to drive through.

No, don't. Don't shut up, Lisa. You have a miraculous voice.

No, I suppose not those kind of toys.

No, I want to press it! Darn it.

No, I'm just... I'm kind of shy about that, too.

No, I'm okay, thanks. Here you go.

No, it isn't that. My choice of words... It's not about that at all.

No, it's fine. It's good. It's...

No, it's okay.

No, it's super fancy.

No, no, no, it's something I have to do. I mean, if you're interested.

No, no, you can just go around those.

No, no. That's okay.

No, sorry. I thought you were someone else.

No, that's okay. I'll just have a glass of wine, please.

No, the maid did that. They come and fix it up at night.

No, you don't.

No, you look lovely.

No, you're not.

No, you're very pretty.

No! God! You're weird!

No.

No.

No. I'll find something in the mini bar.

No. No.

No. Wait!

Not a hard decision, right?

Not Lisa!

Not terrible or anything, but... so you don't look at me freaked out or something,

Not that I think of myself that way, of course.

Not too much. I'm embarrassed to say.

November 12th, 1995.

Now see here, young lady, you take a bath and put on some dry clothes.

Of any successful business enterprise.

Of course not, slugger.

Of course. Well, we'll have fun after. We don't have to go to the zoo.

Oh, dear, this is not quite the store I expected.

Oh, don't be an idiot, Lisa. He's gorgeous.

Oh, for God's sake. Lisa, pull free from him and come back here.

Oh, God, no! Yick. Me?

Oh, God. Oh, my God.

Oh, gosh, okay. Yeah, let's do it.

Oh, hi. You just get in?

Oh, I love Portuguese. I love to listen to Brazilian singers.

Oh, I love that!

Oh, I play the Jew's harp a little.

Oh, it's fine.

Oh, Jesus!

Oh, La, La. Yes, sir. Oh, yeah. Tinseltown.

Oh, Lisa?

Oh, my God, are those tears?

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God! Michael?

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Hello.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God, that's... Are you sure?

Oh, my goodness. Thank you so much. I'm blushing.

Oh, nope. Nope. Unless he's hiding under the bed!

Oh, okay, then. Stick around.

Oh, really?

Oh, right.

Oh, shit.

Oh, sorry. People have told me that before.

Oh, that? That's an antique. It's Japanese.

Oh, that's good. You can thrash about all you like.

Oh, there we go. Michael Stone. Smoking, king sized bed.

Oh, well, you're safe now.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yes. Yes. Splendid. I'm familiar.

Oh. Okay. I could do that.

Oh. Thank you very much, sir.

Okay, crazy man.

Okay, Donna, it's not that I like it. It's restlessness.

Okay, go ahead.

Okay, here goes.

Okay, I could meet you there.

Okay, I love you. Take care. Bye.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Old times.

Old times.

One minute, we were going to spend the rest of our lives together,

One night. Yes.

Or a restaurant or...

Or just, you know...

Our time is limited. We forget that.

P.S.

Perhaps it's not still, but I've been unable to contain myself this morning.

Perhaps you've heard of him, he's a pirate.

Please don't talk with food hanging out of your mouth.

Please make sure your seat backs and tray tables are in full upright position,

Please turn off all electronic devices until we are safely parked at the gate.

Please, I have a conference to attend.

Pre menstrual. How was the flight?

Pressing buttons is good clean fun.

Psychological problems.

Really?

Really?

Really?

Really? Michael, that's a big decision. I don't...

Remember there is someone out there for everyone.

Remember to...

Right this way, sir. My name is Dennis.

Robert Hernandez, please pick up the white courtesy phone.

Running?

S... sorry.

Safe from what? What are you talking about?

Salt water tanks. They're hard to maintain.

Same old Michael. I'll have one of those.

Say something. It's long distance.

Say, would you ladies like to get a drink at the bar, maybe?

Self teaching?

September 16th, 2005.

She sings this beautiful version of Girls Just Want to Have Fun in Italian.

She's an unmoored ship drifting off to sea. And I have no one to talk to.

Shit.

Shit.

Shut up, Lisa.

Shut up, Lisa.

Six...

So at 60 miles an hour, we could do it in under four hours

So I pride myself on sounding pleasant and professional,

So it's all set then.

So that's a bibb lettuce, gorgonzola,

So you get to see things like pandas, which I think are awfully cute.

So, I'll call Donna and tell her.

So, I'm over this way.

So, remember to smile.

So, we could maybe go out for a walk

So, what do you ladies do for fun?

So, will you live in Los Angeles, or do you need to stay in Ohio?

So...

So...

Some bad, but they've all had one.

Some of their days have been good,

Someone else.

Someone to love. Remember every person you speak to needs love.

Something about the hotel manager.

Something about the hotel manager.

Sometimes there's no lesson. That's a lesson in itself.

Soon it's as if we never existed.

Sorry. My hand just jumped.

Stay seated until the pilot turns off the fasten seat belt light.

Sure.

Sure. That sounds fine.

Take the golf cart. That's what it's for.

Thank you for coming, Mr. Stone. It's over here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. It is my privilege today to talk to you about customer service,

Thanks very much.

Thanks.

Thanks.

That describes so perfectly who I want to be.

That one's Stephanie. Stephanie, say hello to Mr. Stone.

That sounds really, really good. I'll have the same.

That was really nice.

That's a very good idea. What do you think your father would say to all this?

That's beautiful...

That's great.

That's great.

That's Michael Stone.

That's nice.

That's okay.

That's so beautiful.

The 71 goes pretty much straight here, so it was easy.

The Fregoli.

The fucking bridge.

The guys or gal...

The hotel manager, he explained it to me. They're all one person and they love me.

The Jew's harp is an underrated instrument.

The president is a war criminal.

The retail associate on the floor of the regional store,

The States. I like that.

The telephone representative at corporate headquarters,

The world is falling apart.

The zoo is great. World class, they say.

There you are. Hey.

There. There you are.

There's no need for that! Support our troops!

There's not going to be an all the time, is there?

There's something wrong with me.

These are the important questions for a customer service representative.

These eggs are delicious. They're scrambled perfectly.

They don't want us to be together. I think they'll kill you if they need to.

They have breeding programs for all these endangered species.

They have breeding programs for all these endangered species.

They offered me 300 square on the fifth floor or this down here.

They sing in Portuguese in Brazil, a little known fact.

They're not really bears, I read.

They've intentionally destroyed the public education system

Things can work out. That's the lesson.

This is all very intense.

This is awkward.

This is awkward.

This isn't going well. I'll just get the check then. Miss?

Those are leprechaun fish. The ones with the sort of Irish faces.

Thought of you and I looked you up in the phone book

To my current emotional imbalance tonight.

To protect each other, to nurture each other.

To... us.

Touch the door to the room. If it feels hot, do not open it.

Try it, go ahead. Watch.

Try to explain.

Unattended vehicles in this area will be towed.

Very good. It's 9:13 now.

Very, very, very, very good.

Want to be responsible for breaking up a marriage. Do we need to decide now?

Watch out for the sunken meeting area.

We came here from Akron just to hear you speak.

We can just hang out here. I have the whole weekend till I have to get back to work.

We can't even afford it. But look what happened.

We could talk more privately.

We listened to a lot of No Doubt, which Em likes.

We make packaged bakery items shipped all over the Midwest.

We read your book and productivity went up 90% in our department.

We should go to the zoo today after your speech. I hear it's really good.

We stopped at Starbucks and I got a Grande Mocha Frappuccino.

We think you're super brilliant. We both read your book.

We will be taxiing for a while, so please...

We're all here for you. We're all one for you. Come back!

Welcome home, honey. It's a surprise party.

Welcome to Cincinnati/North Kentucky International Airport.

Well, Cincinnati's a great city, too. Don't knock it.

Well, don't tell him that. He's just a little boy.

Well, eat some more waffle maybe?

Well, Em picked me up at, like, 7:00 this morning so we could drive down here.

Well, I...

Well, I'm from there originally. I live here now.

Well, the zoo then.

Well, they can tell if you're smiling even if they can't see you.

Well, yes, as a matter of fact, we're both team leaders in a phone room.

Well, you know, I have been doing phone work for a really long time now,

Well...

Well...

Well...

What about yours?

What do I say? Do I smile while I'm on the phone?

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

What else? I mean, how's your room?

What is it to ache?

What is it to ache? I don't know. What is it to be alive? I don't know.

What is it to be alive?

What is it to be human?

What is the meaning of this, may I ask?

What it is and why it's an essential component

What it is and why...

What?

What? No.

What? We're not going to fuck, Michael.

What? You don't want that?

What's going on?

What's semen, Mommy?

What's... what's that behind you?

Where are my fucking pants?

Where are you going to go, Michael? Be reasonable. There's nowhere to go.

Where are you taking me? Em, what's going on?

Where the local time is 7:43 p.m.,

Where they sing in Portuguese.

Where would I go?

Where...

While on the moving sidewalk, please stand to the...

Who are you, Donna?

Who are you, really?

Who could answer that question?

Who interact directly with the public.

Who was that?

Who would've thunk it? It's just so beautiful.

Why did you go, Michael?

Why don't you find your balls while you're at it?

Why?

Will you call me that all the time? I guess it's long to say all the time.

Will you... will you kiss me again?

With a king sized bed. Far above the street noise.

With bathroom breaks and whatever.

With the little slippers laid out next to the bed

Would it be possible for you to come down to my office to chat for a few moments?

Would you sing one of her songs for me?

Yay for your book!

Yeah, sure. I'll stay here and listen to it till it's over.

Yeah, that sounds great.

Yeah, there's a toy store about two blocks up.

Yeah, toy store.

Yeah, you should check it out.

Yeah.

Yeah. I agree. But things kind of shifted.

Yeah. I guess the postcards must've gotten lost in the mail.

Yeah. I think we could manage that. Right, Lisa?

Yeah. The third letter is a V, I think.

Yeah. Well, I am sorry. I do think about you a lot.

Yeah. Well, I understand.

Yeah. Well, you agreed to it. You're a grownup.

Yeah. You're right.

Yes, I think.

Yes, of course, one moment.

Yes, sir. Of course.

Yes, sir. Would you like anything to drink tonight?

Yes, sir. You can go right in.

Yes, thank you kindly.

Yes, thank you so much.

Yes, the weather is very good.

Yes, what does it cost you? Look for what is special about each individual.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes. Finally. Finally, I've found you.

Yes. How do I talk to a customer? How do I talk to a customer?

Yes. It's long distance!

Yes. Okay.

Yick. No way. No way.

You and I are in the same business, really, when you come down to it.

You can let go now, though.

You do, too.

You don't like Emily? Everybody likes Emily.

You don't need more than a day for the zoo. It's just zoo sized.

You feel so good.

You just walk away? After all you said to me?

You knew I didn't want to get married.

You know what I mean?

You know, I'm sorry. I'm not getting that. The accent.

You know, teen pregnancy, STDs, diabetes.

You know, we sprung for this hotel because this is like a mini vacation for us.

You look good.

You look great.

You see, I was smiling when I said that. I've lost my love.

You sure you don't mean Emily?

You, too.

You'll see the administrative offices. You can just ask for me.

You're a really smart guy. You should like Emily.

You're all sweaty.

You're being a little controlling, don't you think?

You're being quiet. Is it not good?

You're clicking your fork against your teeth. Could you not do that?

You're not like a pervert or something? Like some weird version of a chubby chaser?

You're so sensitive, Michael. It's incredibly sweet.

You're so smart. I'm not sure I should even say words in front of you,

You're the only other person in the world!

You're welcome.

You're welcome. And one more Belvedere martini for the gentleman.

You're welcome. Enjoy.

Your voice is like...

Your voice is like...

Yours, too.

A toy. It's... it's a doll.

And for you, sir? Belvedere martini,

And I thought maybe we could figure out... You've got to be kidding.

and I'm the General Manager of the hotel. Yes?

and talk or something. Yes.

and we'll be all set. I'd like a quiet room, if you have one.

And you just call? Out of nowhere? I'm sorry. It was stupid.

And you're so smart. We have to get out of here.

Any of us. Just not Lisa.

Asshole. I'm going.

because I just couldn't handle that. I wouldn't do that.

Besides drinking? Emily, stop! God!

Better? Yes.

Brownie Balls, don't forget. Brownie Balls. Yeah, they're new.

Bumpy? At all? No.

Bye, Michael. Bye, Bella.

Can I have scrambled eggs? Sure.

Can I smoke in here? You see that sign?

Congratulations. Thanks. You?

Daddy! Donna!

Daddy! Donna.

Dennis here will show you to your room. Thank you.

Did you buy me something? Not yet. But I will. I just got here.

Do I look bad? I look bad, don't I? No, you look good.

Do you need to find your friend, though? No.

Do you want to try some? No. Now here's what I'm thinking.

Does this feel okay? Yes. Sorry. I'm just... I'm a little shy.

Donna, I'm not leaving. Is Daddy leaving?

Donna? I'm sorry.

dry, straight up, twist. I'll be back in a minute.

Hi, I'm checking in. Stone. Welcome, Mr. Stone.

Hi, I'm sorry to bother you... No. Not at all!

How many letters? Seven.

I don't know. God, Michael, it looks like semen.

I don't like to fly. I said it's okay.

I don't mean to. I'm sorry. No, that's okay.

I don't recognize any of them. Michael, how are you?

I know, it's a stupid unconscious habit. It's okay. Anyway, you were saying?

I love pressing the buttons. I'm sorry.

I mean, do you feel that you changed? What are you talking about?

I suppose. I'd greatly appreciate it.

I think that's such an important... Could you not...

I think, perhaps, that I had better resign. Yes, I think you'd better.

I thought this was about customer service. Be personable.

I wasn't. I'm sure it is. Damn straight.

I... what are you having, Michael? A Belvedere martini with a twist.

I'd like to order some room service. Yes.

I'm going to cry. No.

I'm just... Oh, my God. I was...

I'm only here for a day. What?

I'm sorry? No.

I've got to get dinner together for Hen. Okay. Have a good night.

Imagine that if you can. I'll try to, yeah. Thanks.

Is that a crime? No, not at all.

Is that better? Much.

Isn't that Michael Stone? It's Michael Stone, yes.

It was nice getting to meet you ladies. It was an honor spending time with you.

It was okay. A little bumpy. Oh, I hate that.

It's called turn down service. Oh, God. I'm so embarrassed.

It's everybody, honey. What's it doing now, Daddy?

It's for girls. It's a girls' doll. No. It's a toy, an antique. It moves.

It's okay. I'm sorry. It's okay.

It's stupid, and the face is broken. It's an antique. That's part of its charm.

It's... It's Michael. Who is this?

Jesus, how long has it been? Ten years.

Jesus. What? Miss?

Just right there I'm a little ticklish. Okay. I won't touch you there.

Keep talking. Tell me everything. You're, like, amazing.

# And girls, they wanna have fun

# And girls, they wanna have fun

# And held my hand

# And I will be no longer dead

# And I will be no longer dead

# And my friends, they say you don't exist

# And watch what other people do

# But friends are cowards full of fear

# But only hear their voice instead

# Girls, they want

# How I long

# How I long

# How I long

# How I long to be near... #

# How I wish that you

# How I wish that you were here

# How I wish that you were here

# I come home in the morning light

# I want to be the one to walk in the sun

# I'd love them if I had the choice

# I'll listen to their idle talk

# I'll try to reconstruct your voice

# I'll turn the corner and we'll meet

# In that other voice

# In that sphere

# It doesn't matter, they're all the same

# Just wanna have fun #

# Just wanna, they just wanna

# Just wanna, they just wanna

# My dear?

# My dear?

# My dear?

# No, I've never met you, my sweet dear

# Oh, girls just wanna

# Oh, girls just wanna have

# Oh, girls just wanna have fun

# Oh, girls just wanna have fun #

# Oh, girls, they wanna have fun

# Oh, mother, dear, we're not the fortunate ones

# Or am introduced to someone new

# Or hear a name

# Or take a walk

# Our love was perfect

# Some boys take a beautiful girl

# Sometimes at night

# That crowded, bustling, faceless spread

# That's all they really want

# The breeze was your whisper in that land

# They flirt and whisper, too

# They wanna have

# Those endless, sleepless hours in bed

# To be near

# Wanna have fun, girls

# When I go to work

# When I see a face

# Where are you

# Where are you

# While the air stands still right here

# Why can't I hear you?

# Why can't I hear you?

# Why can't I hear you?

# You
