THE BANANA FISH
-Are you ok? -I'm fine mom.
I'm very worried about all of this. Where is he?
There's a psychiatrist here at the hotel.
Seymour Glass...
I have two normal feet...
-...so I can't see the *** reason why you should stare at them! -Days are cloudy here...
I love it.
Are you going in the water?
Huh, Sybil... I was waiting for you.
Where's your wife?
She may be in any one of a thousand places...
At the hairdresser's, in our room...
...or making dolls for poor children...
What a cute bathing suit you have on.
If there's one thing I like, it's red.
It's a dress, and it's white.
You are right. What an idiot I am.
The rubber float needs air.
You're absolutely right...
It needs more air than I'm willing to admit.
Tell me something about yourself.
Do you like wax?
Very much, Don't you?
Do you like olives?
Wow, olives and wax, I never go anyplace without 'em.
Sybil, I'll tell you what we'll do.
We'll try to catch a bananafish.
This is a perfect day for bananafish!
Hmmm I can't see any of them.
They lead a very tragic life...
Wanna know what they do?
They swim into a cave full of bananas. All the bananas mix up with the fish...
Once they get in, they start eating...
They behave like pigs...
After they're full they can't get out of the hole...
So, then what happens to them?
I hate to tell you, but they... they die...
They get a banana disease...
-I just saw one! -Saw what, my love?
A bananafish!
-Did he have any bananas in his mouth? -Yes, six!
I think you had enough, right?
No!
Ok, good bye.
