Dance by the Light of the Moon Don't look at me, this whole thing is too weird. -- Schanke You think you know someone and then...what makes a guy change like that. What brings out something in a guy...? -- Stonetree How badly do you want me? -- Janette What makes a good man evil? The eternal question. -- Stonetree and Nick Hey Patrice, what's happening. All right! Come to Papa. Yeah, yeah, that's great! Great. Thanks, hon... What? I'm sorry I didn't know you took it so seriously. Okay, all right. Goodbye, Patrice. What's up? Geeze, you can't call anybody honey, nowadays. It's a strip club downtown--Jilly's. Okay, let's go. (Nick kisses Nat on the forehead) Bye, hon. -- Schanke and Nick Park the caddy for you, Mister? In your dreams, pal. -- Streetguy and Nick What's the matter, guy? You can't you read the sign? Well you know, four beers a little *James Brown*, you can't keep me off the tables. -- Manager and Nick Listen, if this is where I'm supposed to be peeling off a wad of bills, I'm a little low on cash, but if you wait a minute, I'll make a phone call. Hey, out of 30-40 uniforms, there's gotta be a pocket with some spare change. -- Nick You must be strictly VIP for Billy to let you in the club. Good guess. I'm Detective Nick Knight. -- Anne Foley and Nick I guess you're going to have to keep digging. Pulling back the layers. Investigational Theory, 101. Stripping, 404. -- Anne and Nick Well? Well what? Did you find out anything from her? Huh? Or were you just down there enjoying the view? Well, I can't blame you, she is hot. I mean she was born with oven mitts and a tube of tanning oil. Are you done, because if you are, I'd be interested in hearing anything you've got to say about the case. Yeah, I'm done. I'm done. -- Schanke and Nick Mother of pearl, would you get a load of that! Schanke, are we on duty or what? Yeah, yeah, we're on duty. -- Schanke and Nick What the hell are you doing? One of us has to nail this thing. Excuse me Knight, I'm not the one with high-heel puncture marks in my tongue. Although you should have seen yourself. -- Schanke and Nick I guess you're never gonna know what it's gonna be. What what's gonna be? What it is that's gonna do it for you. For me it's autumn afternoons, plaid skirts, kneesocks. Kneesocks? Yeah, Martha Brecker. Oh Martha Brecker. Junior High. She wanted me to tattoo on her 'Ringo Forever" So I did right on her knee with a ballpoint pen. I was so nervous I spelled Ringee Forover. Oh yeah, every time I see a plaid skirt now I... You forget to spell? Something like that. -- Schanke and Nick D'you think they have any idea what effect they have on us, what power they have over us? -- Schanke Nicolah... Brave Knight. Brave crusader. Conqueror. Are you ready to be conquered? Yes. Can you truly surrender, after all you've won? Surrender to the darkness of the soul, to the richness of the night, the weakness of desire? How badly do you want me, Nicolah? Just how strong is your weakness? -- Janette and Nick Let's face it, Nick. It's all a game, a big elaborate game. You can't trust 'em as far as you can throw their credit cards. You know Schanke, get out of the dark ages. You can't blame women for all the evils of the world. We all have our dark sides. Many things can trigger it off. Greed. Fear. Lust for power. Women? Yeah...for some guys, it's women. C'mon, let's get out of here. -- Schanke and Nick Old Benny-boy was dirty. Oh yeah, how dirty? Up to his eyeballs in grade-A high-sulfide low-mulch content manure. -- Schanke and Nick You know working with you is hazardous to my health. I'm not even going to bother asking for a drink, because you know, lord knows what you have in that fridge over that. I mean red wine is just not gonna cut it right now. Then again, it might be the best thing for me. I'm all out. ...Oh. -- Schanke and Nick Man I've got to go home and catch some z's. I mean I'm not worth a wad of buffalo chips if I don't get eight hours. That explains so much... -- Schanke and Nick Why do you have so many remotes here? -- Schanke *Brave crusader, strong...good...defender of the cross. Who are you really?* I had a feeling it would be a mistake to underestimate you. Its Good to trust your feelings. Most people never dare. There are a lot of things most people wouldn't dare. That's a shame, not to dare, is to not live... *Can you feel my darkness Nicolah? Feel it absorbing your light. Can you feel the power and the danger of my darkness? The beautiful risk?* -- *Janette*, Nick and Anne And you're looking for the murderer's murder. It's interesting that you would make that distinction. It's big news when a cop strangles someone, regardless of what happens to the cop afterwards. Not in this case it wasn't. You see, we never released that information to the press. -- Anne and Nick And you never lie, Detective? I don't know, In my experience, everybody lies. Everybody likes to pretend they're something else, to hide the dark parts. Fascinates me. Would you like to know why I gave up law. I know you're curious. I know you're more curious about what I am than what I might have done. -- Anne I gave up law, because I wanted purity. I wanted to live in that part of myself that most people are afraid to evenm visit. And I dance because I to make others do the same. And because I love to watch that descent. To watch their helplessness as their civilized selves slip away. You think that murder is civilized. Are you? Or are you lying? Is your life a lie? -- Anne and Nick Tell me you don't want me to have an alibi? Tell me you don't want me right now so badly you can't even remember your name. Don't! Believe me, you don't want me to forget myself. I want you to forget half of yourself and bring me the other half. Don't! The dark half. I want the darkest most dangerous part of you. -- Anne and Nick Say goodbye to the light Nicolah. Now you know it will never satisfy you. -- Janette You don't know what your asking. Yes I do. I can feel it in you. I can feel the evil and it makes me want you so badly. I want you to do something for me. I want you to do something to bring me that part of you. *Only darkness can satisfy you. Only darkness...* There's so much more to life if you are willing to play a little outside the rules. Take a few chances. Something to take us over the edge. *No matter how shining, good a knight you are, the darkness was always there...* I want you to steal for me. Have you ever stolen anything? I want you to steal for me and tell me how it feels. I want you to take something important. Something that will be missed. That's a dangerous thought. *Only darkness can satisfy you. The darkness was always there. Always stronger than anything else in your heart or mind.* I want you to bring me Berkhart's case book. -- Nick, Anne and *Janette* Well, well well well well. If it isn't casanova himself. Where were you last night? As if I didn't know. -- Schanke Do you have anything? Yeah! While he was out skinny-dipping by the light of the moon, other people were working! -- Stonetree and Schanke Schanke filled me in on your new little diversion. I guess you've got more important things on your mind. -- Natalie How did it feel to steal? It was simple. It was easy, it was good! -- Anne and Nick It's just the beginning. There's so much more for us. So much deeper we can go. Do you want to? Do you want to go deeper? Wouldn't it feel good to do something far, far worse? -- Anne and Nick I knew we should have brought a flashlight. I can see fine, Schanke. -- Schanke and Nick Anne? Anne? Hello, Schanke. Look, uh, were not here to play games, okay? So what! You're such a toughh guy. D'you like it? Yeah... Look, were not here to cause any problems, all right? It's not my usual style, but Uh..I wore it just for you. Do you really like it? Its even the right school. I can't believe he told you that. He told you about that? Nick! -- Schanke and Anne I was right. I saw it in you. Tell me! No, you tell me. What did it feel like to kill Berkhardt? It felt fantastic! It felt... Yeah... Sexy, powerful. When I put that knife into him, I felt it go right through me. What's wrong. You don't have to tell me anymore. Because you know exactly how it feels? No. Because you have the right to remain silent. -- Anne and Nick KILL HIM! -- Anne Nick? Nick? Are you all right. Yeah, I'm fine. He missed me. I just fell on something. How about you. Don't worry about it. I'll wear turtlenecks. -- Schanke and Nick Anne, its over. I thought you had it in you, Detective. But you're just a tourist. -- Nick and Anne You're right. I know what it feels like to kill. I wonder what it's like to die. (She jumps) God help me. It feels good... It feels so good. -- Anne What is it with you, Knight. Are you on the make 24 hours a day? You know Schanke, you've got a dirty mind. Nat and I are just good friends. Oh yeah, right. Ah, I didn't think you'd understand. Of course not, you understand women so much better than I do. It takes years and years of practice. -- Schanke and Nick This was one uncomplicated lady, Schanke. Ultimately everything she did came down to one reason... Thrills. Cheap thrills. Well put. Thank you very much. -- Nick and Schanke Sometimes you get more than you bargain for... -- Nick Where are you going? Who are you? His name is...LaCroix. Hello, Nicholas. We're going to be friends...for a long, long time. -- Nick, Janette, and LaCroix
