Screenplay by Waldo Salt

Based on the novel by James Leo Herlihy

  • Another scene about pissing!

  • We wanted to include this because it’s a friendship scene. Ratso is essentially dying on a bus and his friend Joe tries to make him feel better by getting him to laugh. 

  • It’s a sweet, genuine kind of seduction, trying to get somebody to laugh in the face of death. It’s also a great contrast — laughing when something is desperately sad.
