In a really...

Interesting part of town.

Uh-huh.

It's big,

and it's cheap.

An apartment?

Really, and it's,um, it's big?

Because...

Oh, well,the reason I called

is because, um...

Michael and I aregetting a divorce.

Finally?

I mean...

Are you ok?

[Sobs]

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.I'm just, you know,

kind of at my rope's end

about where we weregonna go, but...

I mean, if the apartmentis as big as you say,

then Paul and I couldcome and stay with you.

I knowit's gonna be hard

'cause he's gonnahave to transfer.

Transfer?What do you mean?

Is there a high schoolnear you?

No. I...I don't know.

Anyway,I have to call the bank.

And I'm gonna put the,uh...

Furniture in storage.

And then we'llbe there on Friday.

Ok? Thank you, Margaret.Thank you, sweetheart.

To live with me.

No, no, no, no,no, she isn't.

This is my bookstore,where you work

and where I let yousleep on the sofa

in the back untilyou find a place,

which will be very soon,

because your mother'snot coming here.

Try the sublets.

And tell your motheryou're fucking queer

before somebody elsedoes.

[Seagulls chirping]

I'm gonna leaveall my stuff.

You got a problemwith that?

Oh, I'm sleeping onthe couch where I work--

and they won't even tellyou what fucking titles?

These people don't fuck.That's the problem.

If any of those idiotsfrom customs call,

I'll be on the phone

to the civil libertiesassociation.

This is gonna ruin me.

Maggie:Good morning.

Good morning.

Did you finda place?

Yes.

You did?

Yes.

Good.

Customs held upanother order of books

at the border.

They're claiming the booksare pornographic.

Hello! Which they aren't.

Well, maybe butches in chains is.

But so what?

You were greatthe other night at the club.

I didn't know you were lookingfor a place to live.

You could stay with me.

I've got some new toys.

5-speed vibrator,

magic eggs,

clitishous dancer.

No, but thanks.

Ouch. It's the plightof the bisexual.

Gay girlswon't play with you.

You're not bisexual, Carla.You're omnisexual.

You're like that tornado in the wizard of oz,

sweeping up everythingin your path.

You needto let go more.

Yep, that's me.

Letting it all hang in.

Oh, Carla,my mother and brother

It's great.Fuck.

Yeah, see?

Can I take a peek?

Oh, no, no, no.Could you maybe

just add a little bitmore hair up top?

I mean, what is artall about, right?

Illusion.

Well, to quote whistler,a successful picture

is the thrust, movement,countermovement,

and final equilibriumof forms

and colorsin pictorial space.

Which means...

More hair.

Yeah, just a little bit.

There.

Finished?

Done.

Haven't you heardof the Venus of willendorf?

Goddesses...

Have large,sagging breasts

Would anyonelike a beer?

Shh.

Stop it.

[Giggling]

Shut up.

Come on, Maggie.She knows.

No. That would neveroccur to her.

Please.

No.

But if she did know,

she would never let meknow that she knew.

Really?

Well, maybe if she knew,

[hushed]She had no idea.

Oh, God.

Frances: I don't needanother window display.

I need a lawyer.

Little red riding hood?

What is going onwith customs?

Little red riding hoodand the big bad wolf?

That little red riding hood?

Do we stock that book?

A customer ordered itfor her niece.

They're trying to ruin me.

Customs.That's what it is.

Attention, shoppers.

I got a letterfrom my father today.

The same father who told youto drop dead? That father?

Yes. No. Well,what I mean is,

his lawyer wrote me,

and he says my parentsare gonna buy me a condo,

so that afterthe surgery,

I'll have someplaceto go, you know,

to recuperate, to havesome sense of security.

I mean, wow.

Not a word from themsince I told them--

nothing in 2 years--and now this.

They miss me.

I'm gonna write them

and invite them up fora housewarming party.

Please, buy the condoand move my mother in.

Judy:How is your mom?

And I see you havea new friend.

Whoo!

Whoo.

Yeah.

Kim is...

Staying with me.

Yeah...

And her motherand her brother.

Mmm.Sounds complicated.

Well, you know,I have an extra room.

This is Carla...

And Judy.

Hi. It's niceto meet you.

Nice meeting you.

So, I was thinking ofthe heritage peak condos

they're putting updown the street.

I mean, do you think yourmom and I could live there?

Cheap and tawdry goodsmasquerading as quality.

Comme moi.

I'll be a heritage homo.

Frances,

now thati'm almost a woman

of almost means,

I was wonderingif maybe

you'd like to go outwith me sometime?

Well, you know, um,

oh...

Gosh, I'm really,really busy. Ahem.

There's practicallya war on here.

Excuse me.

You can run,but you can't hide.

[Giggles]

So...

Have you told your motherabout your honeymoon yet?

No.

I want her to leave.

I don't want to kill herwith the shock.

Come on,she can take it.

Parents can bevery resilient.

What does she doall day?

Shop, cook, clean,decorate.

Hmm.

She sounds lonely.

[Classical music playing]

[Soprano singing opera]

Hi.

I'm Judy.Is Maggie home?

Oh, um...

Gee, she's not.

You know, she and kimwent out again.

Oh. I brought her theseas a housewarming gift.

Well, for all of you,really.

Well, how lovely.

I'm--I'm lila.

I'm Maggie's mother.

Nice to meet you.

And you're...

Judy.Maggie's friend Judy.

Just think of me as the welcome wagon.

Well, welcome.

Would you like to come in?

Yes. Thank you.

Boy, it's quite a climb,isn't it?

Oh. I almost gotan aneurysm.

And here...

And here.

Oh, lovely.Thank you.

And cheers.Cheers.

Welcome.

Mmm.Mmm.

You know, I just lovethat shirt.

Thank you. I do my bestwith my limitations.

It's so hard to findnice things to wear

when you're my size.

Oh, you should be proudof your size--

so strongand so striking.

I think the word you'relooking for is "enormous."

Exotic.

Thank you.

I just wish Maggie hadsome of your sense of style.

Oh, no, lila.

Maggie's--Maggie's lovely.

She's very clever,you know.

Yes. Yes, she is, but...

What is going onwith her these days?

Mmm.

You'd haveto ask her that, lila.

So, there is something going on?

Oh, well, she's 19.

There's always somethinggoing on when you're 19.

More wine?

Did you ever wake upone morning

and feel that everythingin your life was wrong?

Mmm.

Because I woke upone morning last month,

and...

And I knowthis sounds silly,

because, you know,housewives...

Excuse me.Homemakers,

as we're now called,

aren't supposed to haveexistential crises.

Oh...

I think homemakers

have existential crisesall the time.

Well, I found out

that my husbandhad been having an affair.

Oh.

And it had been going onfor more than a year.

A year?That's a long time.

I had the choiceright then

to either carry on...

Or break it up.

Oh, my goodness.You're easy to talk to.

Oh.

Here's to strong women.

To strong women.

God loves you.

Hey, I'm busy here.

Jesus loves you.

Thank you.

Can you still read"die, dyke, die,"

or do you think

I've finallygotten it all off?

Uh-uh.

Ohh.

[Maggie laughs]

Ahh...

Hey, Maggie, you know,we never used to have graffiti

around here--never.

Yeah. I think it'smy window displays.

Oh, yeah.

Listen, Maggie,first it's graffiti,

then they startbreaking windows,

then God knowswhat's next.

Certain people,

you don't want to attracttheir attention,

capisce?

Capisce.

Hey, I don't need peoplewriting "dyke"

on my coffee bar,all right?

Do I look likea dyke to you?

Frances: Come on.

You're riding shotgun.

Where are we going?

Customs, baby.

Ooh.

Hey, hey, hey!

Who's supposed to cleanthis shit up now, huh?

[Tires squeal]

[Speaking italian]

Excuse me.Yes?

Can you direct meto Mr. Marcus' office?

Downstairs, turn right.

You see, buildings like thisare actually designed

along the linesof a rationalist conspiracy.

The thing is notto be bamboozled,

just know whereyou're going and go there.

I am so sorry.

Woman: Aah!

Don't ask.

Oh, boy.

The books have beenclassified as obscene

and will not be allowedthrough the border.

Now, if I can justget you to sign here...

Little red riding hood is obscene?

Well, we--we thoughtthat was something else.

I'll bet you did.

Our mistake.

However,titles such as...

The lesbian s-m virtual sex manual

and a guide to a--

ahem.

Anal safe sex

will remain here with us.

Something to read onthose dark, lonely nights.

If I could just get you to signhere, here, and here and here,

you can have little red riding hood

back within the week.

Seriously, Mr. Marcus,

the supreme court hasdeclared that anal sex

is to gay male sex

what Mozart is to classical music.

Miss Turner, we are not hereto discuss classical music.

I myself am a hugemozart fan, but--

look, the fuckingsupreme court

has declared this materialis not obscene!

In case you haven't noticed,this is not the supreme court.

We are here in customs,and I have a job to do.

Oh, just followingorders, are we, asshole?

From your perspective,

that must be a complimentof mozartian proportions.

Security! Security!

Frances, I thinkyou should let him go.

Do we have a problem?

Bernice?

Bernice, is that you?

My God,I haven't seen you

since the womyn'smusic festival.

Who was that womanyou were with,

the meter maid?

Julie?How is Julie?

I'm going back in there.

I don't think so.

* sometimes I can't sleep

* I can't keep allthese feelings invading *

* I am rage,I am sorrow *

* and grief,all alone in my wait *

uhh.

* or keep my eyes closed

* I'll be opento strife *

* to the powers that be,say never *

* in the middleof the night *

* I'm gonna stand up

* and let myself become

* stand up now

* I got my one life

* and what's itto amount to *

* if I don't learn how?

* to love you

* and love myselfbeside you *

* mix the gentleand proud *

* I want a love likethe vision in the winter *

* gonna stand up--

wow.

That is a great piece.

It's a great piece of...

Art, frances.

Maggie: The ice agedestroyed the dinosaurs,

so I'm commenting

on the dinosaurmentality of customs.

Ultimately,the cube melts,

and the booksare liberated.

But ruined.

Liberated, but ruined.

It's conceptual.

Carla: Ooh, yes.

I love the layersof meaning.

Frances:Like a popsicle--

there'San orange layer

and a blue layer and a pink layer.

Mm-hmm.

Now, you were goingto clean up

after your conceptual

once it starts to melt,right?

Oh, yeah.

Right.

Lila:"For bright pink,

use whole dye package."

So, have you knownmargaret long?

No, actually,not that long at all--

maybe about a week.

Mmm.

Seems like longer.

Yes. You twoseem very close.

We are.

Actually, that's somethingi'd like to talk--

Margaret never reallyhad any friends

in high school.

I mean, she wasa straight-a student,

so she was alwaysstudying.

But that's whyi don't understand

why she has quituniversity.

It's whatshe always wanted.

Hmm.

Have you beento university?

Art school.

Ah, art school.

I went to music school,you know.

Oh, really?

Mm-hmm.

I used to sing--

puccini, verdi.

You sang opera?

I know.

I hardly seem likethe prima Donna type now,

but, yes, I...

I had to give thatall up, of course.

Why "of course"?

Well, because it's--it's nonsense, really.

I mean...

You know,if you can't be great,

if you can't bethe best...

That's ridiculous.

What if it's whatyou really love to do?

Lila, I want to talkto you about something.

Maggie and I--

you didn't ask maggieto quit university, did you?

No. No, no, no.I didn't.

I did wantto talk to you

about her and...Well, and about me.

We're in love.

[Huffs]

Well, that went well.

712 heritage.All right.

This mustbe the place.

My résumé.

I am woman.

Are you hereabout the job, dear?

Oh, yes, ma'am.

Uh, ahem.

I can type120 words a minute.

I can do spreadsheets, lotus, and windows.

Oh, I--I am sorry,

but the job'sbeen filled,

so why don't you justleave me your résumé,

and I'll get back to youif something comes up.

Are you here aboutthe job?

That's right.

I thought there wassomeone else here.

No. Only me.

Ok.

[Laughs]

You know,I do windows.

Good. Good.

[Music playing]

* new sound

hey, watch it.

Sorry.

I got the job.

Oh, mom,

congratulations.

Wine, my dear--

much more ladylikethan beer.

And if I help the agentswith sales,

they'll give me a commissionon their commission.

Awesome, mom.

Mom, you rock.

Well...

I'm not the personi was going to be,

I'll tell you.

I was gonnahave a career.

I was gonna have...

A wonderful,successful marriage

and 2 wonderful, successful children and...

Look at me.

And look at you.

You're looking so,I don't know,

just shabbythese days.

To you, mom.

Lila: And, you know,

I'm going to betaking messages

and helpingthe agents

while they'reselling the units

and keepingthe show suite clean,

which is, you know...

I read a study,

and afterthe age of 40,

a woman's chancesof having sex

are diminished by 80%.

Oh.

So, after 50,

God help you.

And since I probablywon't be having sex again,

chocolate's the onlypleasure left to me.

Kim?

Do you havea boyfriend, dear?

No, I don't.

Funny, that.

What's wrong with boysthese days?

Paul?

Yes, mom.

Honey?

No. It's ok, mom.

Yeah?

* oh, yeah

what is thisgod-awful music?

Oh, Margaret,I'm so sorry.

I should've rinsed outthe machine

after I--I dyedmy underwear, and I...

It's ok.

We'll just tell everyonewe're from a cult.

Ooh.

Mom?

Margaret,whatever happened

to that boyyou were dating?

Todd?

He went to Toronto

to study fashion design.

Fashion design?

Oh. Oh, like...

Fashion design.

I never liked him.

Mom--

and you still haven'texplained to me

why you left school.

I hated it there.

I mean...

I might want to trysomething else,

like writing.

Maybe. Writing?

Margaret, there isno future in the arts.

You will need somethingto fall back on.

Like Michael?

I'm sorry.I am sorry, mom.

I...

Mom, just becauseyou stopped singing opera

or whatever

doesn't mean thati have to be like you.

I'm different.

In fact, I'm very different.

I'll say you're different.

You're--look whatyou're wearing.

You will never get a boyfriend...

Dressed like that.

Mom? Ok?

And...

I'm not very happy aboutthat hole in your navel.

I know.I know what you need.

I brought you something.

Mr. snuggly.

Oh, baby,do you remember

when you couldn't sleepwithout him?

Mom, I can sleep without himjust fine now, trust me.

Well...

Thanks.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Paul: Mommy-o?

Mommy-o, is this, like,a grateful dead thing?

Lila: Granite countersand a very cozy but spacious

breakfast nook.

And, of course, outside,the tile patio

for outdoor diningwhen weather's nice

with the latticeand the planting

for that illusionof privacy.

And they're all, of course,exactly like this.

We only have 6 of them.

But let me show youupstairs,

because I just knowyou'll love the bedroom.

Judy: I think you're rightabout the colors, lila.

Well, you needintensity, Judy,

to complementyour personality.

Hmm. Decorativeborders?

Kind of Matisse-y.

You know,

one color combinationi simply adore.

I saw iton a silk ribbon once.

It was taupe and lime.

Yummy.

Ohh. Come and seethe view.

Oh, you're gonna die.

Oh, it's beautiful.

Don't you love it?

Ohh. Uh-huh.

So, what do you do,judy?

Um, I sing in a club.

You're a singer?

Just old standards.

Oh, how wonderful.

Well, please singsomething for me.

Oh. Um...

* we'll finda perfect peace *

* where joys never cease

* somewhere

* beneath the starry skies

* we'll build a sweet

* little nest

* somewhere in the west

* and let the rest

* of the world

* go by

that was lovely.

Oh...

You know, I never reallyhad any talent.

Oh, I neverlet that stop me.

Lila:Here we go.

Lila...

I want to askyour advice.

My advice?Me?

Love advice.Woman advice.

Well, I think you've cometo the wrong place for that.

I mean, you'd haveto ask me advice

on howto end up alone.

No.

Now, I'm very attractedto this...

Person,

but I'm not gettinganywhere.

What's his name?

Frances.

Francis--what a lovely,old-fashioned name.

Hmm.

That's sort ofthe problem.

Lunge at it.

Really?

That'smy new philosophy.

If you really wantsomething,

you lunge at it.

What if it doesn'twork out?

Well, in my experience,

things don't reallywork out anyway.

* I can't have

* everything I want

* 'cause I can't have...

I give up.

How about some cocoa?

We got to go, mom.

You're going out?Margaret, it's after 10:00.

Yeah, well,in some places,

the night'sjust starting.

Oh.

Have a good time.

Thanks.

[Sighs]

* I want someone

* to grant my wishes

* I want a boy

* who'll blow me kisses

I was thinking aboutsomething else.

Ohh...

Woman: Oh, hi.

Frances,I'm in love with you,

and I'm lunginguntil I get you.

This isn't a good place,time, to lunge.

I'm undera lot of pressure

with this customs thing.

I know.I'm lunging anyway.

Judy...

I have never beenwhat you would call

"sexually adventurous."

You don't have to be.I'll take that on.

I mean, I've never hada threesome.

I've barely hadtwosomes.

I have had3 girlfriends,

all of whomwere exactly like me.

I'm exactly like you.

I know your favorite writeris gertrude Stein.

And I love gertrude Stein.

And not justthe readable Stein.

Implements, but--

* when life is to spend

* and despite the trends

* I'd rather be a fighterfor livin' free *

* and if I took a tripto the north horizon *

* the freedom is inthe one vacation *

* that's living today

* da

* after all the pain

* and the tears subside

* I find that there'sstill love inside *
