Please Baby Please movie storyline. In the Lower East Side in Manhattan, a gang called the Young Gents prepares for their night by dancing throughout various alleyways. They stop in front of an apartment building and begin beating a couple to death, only stopping when one of the Young Gents, Teddy whistles for them to stop because a shocked-looking couple, Arthur and Suze have stopped on front of the apartment.
As the other members of the Young Gents interrogate Arthur and Suze, Arthur and Teddy stare at each other, Arthur seemingly entranced by Teddy. Suze reveals that she and Arthur live in apartment 2B. As the Young Gents walk away Teddy smiles at Arthur, who stares at him. Suze looks at Arthur in bewilderment as to what just happened and begins to pick up the things they dropped.
Some time later, Suze and Arthur are hosting their friends Ida, Baker, and Les in their apartment. Suze recounts their encounter with the Young Gents, seemingly delighted at the violence. Arthur is mocked by Baker and Les for his refusal to “be a man,” and a conversation about gender performance and expectations ensues, where Suze reveals a desire to “be Stanley Kowalski” and expresses more delight at the violence caused by the Young Gents, which ends when Arthur loudly proclaims his anxieties about manhood and how he feels judged equally by men and women. Suze tells their friends “Arthur hasn’t slept.”
