Crying Game

The Crying Game The Crying Game FADE IN: EXT. CARNIVAL - DAY A loudspeaker playing Percy Sledge's "When a Man Loves a Woman," as we see a carnival in the distance - with a Ferris Wheel turning round and round. A black man is by a stall. On his arm is an Irish girl with blond hair. The black man is drunk, and is tossing rings around a bowling pin. JODY And that's cricket, hon. An attendant hands him the teddy bear. It looks ridiculous in his huge hands. He gives it to the girl. JODY You want it? GIRL Sure. JODY Doesn't matter if you don't. He puts his arm around her and drags her on. JODY Jody won't be offended. Jody's never offended. What'd you say your name was? GIRL Jude. JODY Jude. Suits you, Jude. JUDE The teddy bear? JODY No, fuck the bear. The name. Jude. And it's June. Jude in June. He comes to a small canvas tent with a sign on it - TOILET. 2. JODY Gotta piss, Jude. He holds her hand. JODY Don't run off, Jude. JUDE You don't know me, do you? Jody walks inside the canvas flap and vanishes from sight. We can still see his hand, holding Jude's. She leans against the canvas, looking bored. JODY (inside) What if I did? JUDE You'd know I wouldn't run off. She stands there, listening to the sound of him urinate. Her eyes flick around the carnival. They settle on a tall dark- haired man in a dark jacket. He nods. JODY Never pissed holding a girl's hand, Jude. JUDE You didn't? JODY And you know what? JUDE Tell me, Jody He staggers out, buttoning up. JODY It's nice.
