Have you found your ideal lover? [YOUNG THING] What's with all the questions? [WRITER] I want to know every single beautiful thing about you [YOUNG THING] I survived a shipwreck That was sunday night I survived a plane crash That was monday night Tuesday dropped some acid Thursday went to sleep Dreamed that I was floating, floating, floating In Richard Nixon's pool I don't know how I get to Where I don't know where I'm at Before there's time to think I either crash or sink I don't know how I get to Where I don't know where I'm at There's something wrong with that There's something wrong with that There's something wrong, there's something wrong There's something wrong When all I want is Somewhere safe Anywhere, anywhere safe With someone who won't fall apart When the world begins to fall apart Someone single, not too dull or smart But safe; Decently, honestly safe Where I find that someone I don't care; Just as long as I can wind up there: Somewhere, somewhere Somewhere safe ... Got no expectations Used to, now I don't I survived a shipwreck I can handle it I can handle it I can handle it I can handle - [WRITER/YOUNG THING] You- You -You -YOU! [WRITER] Done.... Done.... Done ... Cut to: Overhead shot After Lovers in bed Zeffirelli "A time for us" Music from the place next door Something sweet and folkish And Jackie the angel says: [YOUNG THING] The couch would've been better [WRITER] No Jackie the angel says: [YOUNG THING] The couch would've been better [WRITER] No Jackie the angel says: [WRITER] The one I love Kisses me And I'm safe The one I love Touches me And I float The one I love is here Holding me; Finally; You took so long for me to find The world can end tomorrow; I've found the one I love; I don't mind [YOUNG THING] The one I love Kisses me And I'm safe [YOUNG THING/WRITER/BOTH] The one I love (The one I love) Touches me (Touches me) And I float The one I love is here (My love is here) [YOUNG THING] Part of me - [WRITER] Part of me - [YOUNG THING] Giving me - [WRITER] Giving me - [WRITER/YOUNG THING] Needing me, needing me, needing me My lover kisses me good night The world can end tomorrow [WRITER] The world can end tomorrow [WRITER/YOUNG THING] The one I love and I; We'll sleep tight [WRITER] But. Cut Nobody says that Jackie the.. angel says: [YOUNG THING] The one i love- [WRITER] No Jackie the angel says: [YOUNG THING] ... The couch would've been better. How long you had this mattress? [WRITER] Futon. Ah well... Are you hungry? [YOUNG THING] Can I read your screenplay? [WRITER] Read? [YOUNG THING] I heard alot of stories. I could tell you if yours was any good [WRITER] It's not finished. But food always lead to inspiration. There's a deli on the corner, let's- [YOUNG THING] This is okay I don't mind your futon [WRITER] How lovely that word sounds coming from you "Futon" Where are my shoes?
