Are You in Love?
I found this on imdb today.
It’s from “Things to Do in Denver When You’re Dead” (love that title btw).
Jimmy is played by Andy Garcia and if you ask me that makes this entire conversion even better.
Jimmy: Dagney? That’s your name? Tremendous name. My name’s Jimmy and I have just one single impulsive question. Are you in love?
Dagney: What?
Jimmy: At the present time, are you in love?
Dagney: Why?
Jimmy: Because if you are, then I won’t waste your time. I’m really not the type of man to impede another man’s happiness. However, if you’re not presently in love then I will continue my rhapsody, because if I may say so, Dagney, you are most definitely the bees’ knees.
Dagney: Does this rap ever work?
Jimmy: Alas, in the old days. Now I rarely get a chance to try it. But you haven’t answered my question.
Dagney: I forgot it.
Jimmy: Are you in love?
Dagney: Well there is someone…
Jimmy: But?
Dagney: We date… I have memorized his phone number, but I won’t use his toothbrush… We’re somewhere in between and he’s crazy about me.
Jimmy: As he should be. You glide.
Dagney: I glide?
Jimmy: You glide. It’s a very attactive quality. Most girls, they merely plod along. You, on the other hand, you glide… Tell me about it. What’s his name? Chip?
Dagney: Alex…
Jimmy: Same thing. Does he make you thump?
Dagney: Define “thump”.
Jimmy: Thump. When you think about him, you can’t eat You can’t sleep. You forget about man’s inhumanity to man. Does he do that for you?
Dagney: That’s a ridiculous concept. No one can do that.
Jimmy: Girls who glide need guys who make them thump. Have dinner with me.
Dagney: Aren’t we the sultan of segue?
Jimmy: It’s a beautiful month. Just have dinner with me.
Dagney: Are you going to make me thump?
Jimmy: Or die trying.
