[Background noise]

[Car engine]

[Silence]

[Door closes]

[Shower noise]

- Come on, girl. Why
are you taking so long?

- Just waiting for the
water to get hot, baby.

That's all.

I like my showers real hot.

Well, don't take too long.

I'm paying you good money.

[Shower noise]

Just getting ready for you.

[Shower noise]

I'll be right in.

[shower noise]

Hello, Victoria. Going somewhere?

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you do or say
may be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right to consult an attorney.

[Sighs]

[Background noise]

Now, when he comes in,

you be nice and no attitude.

[Silence]

All rise.

[Background noises]

You all take a seat.

[Sighs]

Hmm.

[Pages flipping]

I hope you all had a great weekend.

Oh yeah, really exciting.

Now, [clears throat] [sniffs]

After reviewing this case,

I think it's gonna be
very difficult for you,

Miss Howell.

To find the defendant a good-paying job.

- Uh, yes sir. I understand
that but I am fully

confident that I will be
able to find her a good job.

Yes. I'm very aware of your persistence,

Miss Howell. And I have
no doubt that you will.

One way or another,

find employment for Miss Walker.

So, I've agreed to your request

to defer sentencing in this case,

under the following conditions.

Condition number 1.

Victoria Ann Walker
secures legal employment

and retains that
employment for one full year.

Beginning October 5th...

I... excuse me, Your Honor.

But that only gives me
five days to find a good job.

Now, I am [chuckles] persistent. But I am

not a miracle worker.

Condition number 2.

At the end of the first year,

Miss Walker will report to the

Probation Department
for an additional year.

And Condition 3.

If Victoria Ann Walker
fails to secure employment

and remain and retain that
employment for one full year,

or if she violates the conditions

of this agreement in any way,

she will return here to
my courtroom where I will

sentence her

to two years in the Dade
Correctional Institution.

Told you he'd be a jerk.

You have something to say, Miss Walker?

- Yeah, you really expect
me to find a freakin' job

in five days?

Well, I guess that's up to you, isn't it?

Improving your attitude

would be a great place to start.

Yeah, sure.

Look, I could withdraw my decision.

And you could start
your two years right now.

Is that what you want?

[Chuckles]

All right.

That attitude of yours just cost you

seven days for contempt of court.

- Your honor, I don't
think that's necessary.

I am... -Sit

- Fully confident... - down, Miss Howell.

You don't seem to be worried about

going off to prison, Miss Walker.

So, I'm going to let you experience DCI

for seven days.

Concluding that visit to DCI.

You'd be released into the custody

of Miss Howell

where you can go and look for that job.

Now, if you should fail to find a job

within the five days given,

you'll go back and
visit your friends at DCI.

And continue and finish
your two-year sentence

right there.

Bailiff,

[page flipping]

Escort Miss Walker to a holding cell.

[Pages flipping]

Asshole.

Victoria.

- Commissary's over
there. Breakfast at 7:00,

Lunch 12:00, supper's at 5:00

If you're late, you don't eat.

You got a craft center over there

in case you're into
that girly kind of stuff.

Oh, and girls to my left,

I'd stay away from those.

Oh, yeah.

[Laughter]

Shake it for you momma.

Wooh

[Daughters]

[Chattering]

What'd you do?

Oh, yes.

[Chattering]

So, what are you in for? Nursery fool?

[People laughing]

[Jeers]

We got a cocky little
half in here, don't we?

[Chuckles]

Seeing as raw here in the barnyard?

I guess you could say
that. You fat ass pig.

Bitch, what did you just say to me?

Showtime.

You heard me?

Oh, you must not know who you talking to.

I'm Big Soup.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

[Growls]

It's hot over here.

Hey, Big Soup. Check this out.

Hey, what's this?

Yeah, what's this?

A motel?

You check in and stay in
one week and check out?

And if you ever come back here again,

bet you can believe your ass is bye.

Oh, yeah? Like you need anymore ass.

- Oh, you got to bring
something? Get something.

[Laughter]

[Fighting noises]

Let go.

[Fighting noises]

[Phone rings]

Hey, take a look over there.

[Phone rings]

[Silence]

[Chuckles]

What is she wearing?

I don't know. Look at the dress.

It's a throwaway from the 80's.

It wasn't even popular then.

[Phone rings]

Look at the boots.

I know there's not much there.

But I am fully confident that she will do

a great job for you.

- I know. I think this is
actually quite impressive.

CSR from the state of
Florida for two years?

- Mm-hmm.

It's actually better than I expected.

Uhm, but I noticed she's hurt.

Oh, that? Oh, no, no.

No, she just got involved in a

women's sports league.

We like that. Teamwork, team spirit.

That's a good thing.

You want a picture?

What?

What are you staring at?

Well, we're just sitting right here.

Yeah, staring at me.

- You know, I think somebody
might be a little paranoid.

That's good.

Uhm, so Miss Howell,

tell me about her, uh, work habits.

Work habits?

Yeah.

[Phone rings]

Well, she's been committed.

I mean she's very committed, actually.

Diligence should be her middle name.

- You know, I believe...
Let me just double check.

We have an opening.

Yes, in our Lake Worth store

in the shipping department.

How would that be?

Don't touch me. [groans]

Let me ask you, uh, how does she get

along with people?

[Loud thud]

[Groans]

Excuse me. Hey! Hey!

What are you doing? What are you...

What's going on out here?

[Glass breaks]

Look, I don't know what kind of stunt

that was in there.

But you need to get
that temper under control.

Miss Howell.

Go wait in the car.

Miss Howell.

[Car engine]

What exactly is a CSR

for the state of Florida, anyway?

Corndog Sale Rep, Florida State Fair.

[Paper rustling]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

What are we doing here?

Applying for a job.

What kind of job?

The lady who lives here

needs a live-in helpmate.

- A live-in what?

- Helpmate. Kind of
like a personal assistant.

All right. Come on.
We don't want to be late.

[Car door opens]

[Background noise]

[Car door closes]

[Background noise]

I'm not babysitting anybody.

I said helpmate.

[Knocks on door]

No Jerry Springer brawls this time either.

[Door opens]

Oh, hello. You must be Victoria.

- No. My name is Sarah
Howell. This is Victoria.

Oh, I see. Well, here.

Here's an application for you to fill out.

You can have a seat over there.

I'll call you in about 15 minutes.

Thank you. That'll be just fine.

[Footsteps]

[Door closes]

Now, let's forget the CSR stuff this time.

[Background noise]

Oh, geez.

[Silence]

[Dog barking]

[Footsteps]

[Dog barks]

- Hold on, girl. Hold
on. Hold on. Come here.

Come here. [groan]

[Dog whining] I got you. Come on. Come on.

Penny? Penny.

Come on. Her leash got caught.

Oh, is the poor thing okay?

Oh, she's fine. She's just scared.

My gosh, what happened?

- You're just about to
kill your freaking dog.

That's what happened.

[rustling noise]

She loves dogs.

[Door opens]

We're ready for you.

[Footsteps]

Althea, this is Victoria Walker.

Hello

Hello.

[Footsteps]

My name is Sarah Howell.

How do you do?

- Fine, thank you. I'll be
helping Victoria out today.

How do you do?

[Silence]

Well, I'll need to be upfront with you.

We've been through a
lot of interviews today,

And I believe we may have
already found our person.

- I see. - Please go ahead and have a seat.

It hurts my neck to look
up for long periods at a time.

[Silence]

- Robert, here, has
been so kind to fly all the

way from San Diego to help me

with this process. [clears throat]

Now, I have to be honest with you.

Since the automobile accident,

I will need a great deal of attention

to get myself out of this thing

and back up on my feet.

A car accident?

Oh, yes. It was an awful one.

And believe me, with my busy schedule

right now, breaking a
hip and a few other things,

is not the most convenient thing.

Okay. Okay.

If we're going to conduct an interview,

we best get on with it.

- Robert has to be back
in San Diego by Monday

night. He has an important trial coming up.

He's a prosecuting attorney.

Oh, we understand. No problem.

- So, Victoria, do you
live near Palm Beach?

Miami.

Oh, so you've come a long way

for this interview.

It's not that far.

[chuckles] - Oh, well.
To a woman of my age,

just driving on i-95,
[chuckles] it's plenty far.

Are you a native of Florida?

No.

Where do you come from?

[Silence]

She asked you a question.

Where did you grow up?

[Silence]

Minnesota.

Minnesota. That's a lovely state.

I have a very good friend there.

She comes from, uh,

Edina. Do you know where Edina is?

- It's Ee-dai-nuh, not Ee-dee-nuh.

- You're not selling
yourself too well here.

- We'll excuse me, but did
we come here to talk about

her stupid friend who lives
in Ee-dee-nuh, Minnesota?

- Oh. Well, you say Ee-dai-nuh,

I say Ee-dee-nuh. [chuckles]

So, uh, Miss Howell,

why are you here with,
uh, Miss Walker anyway?

She's my watchdog.

Your watchdog?

I'm her probation officer, sir.

Well, isn't that wonderful?

[Silence]

And, uh, what was your crime?

I murdered people.

Excuse me?

Old people.

[Chuckles] - No, that's not true.

The story is that Victoria was arrested for

prostitution and theft.

And sentenced to two years in prison.

But, the judge suspended her sentence

If she stays clean, gets a legal job,

and holds it for a year.

- Well, seeing its
prostitution and not murder,

I should sleep a lot better
at night. Right, Robert?

Okay, well, I've heard enough

and I think this interview is over.

Well, I'm so sorry we wasted your time.

[Footsteps]

I'll take her.

Excuse me?

Althea

I said, I'll take her.

[Footsteps]

Are you out of your mind?

Well, I may have broken a few bones

but my mind is perfectly intact.

[Sighs] - Why on earth
would you want to hire a

thing like that?

- That 'thing', as you
call her, is a human being.

And clearly in need of
some direction in her life.

- Then better get it from
the State, not from you.

And besides, she'll probably try

to steal you blind or worse.

Oh, nonsense.

- May I remind you,
she's a thief and a hooker.

- Ex-thief and ex-hooker.

You be careful. We need this job.

Whatever.

Why did I waste my time coming

all the way from California

when you aren't going to
listen to any of my counsel?

Robert, I know it may seem a bit odd.

Odd? Try insane. This isn't like you.

Am I on trial here?

Now, Robert, I do
appreciate your assistance.

But I do not appreciate your
calling my decisions insane.

Now, watch your feet. I'm going.

Althea, I didn't mean...

I'm so sorry about the delay.

We just had to go over
a few technical points

about the hiring process.

So, Victoria, when can you start?

Are you serious?

- You tell me when you
want her and she'll be here.

How about tomorrow?

Oh, woah, woah, wait a minute.

That might be a bit premature.

We need time to check references

And that sort of thing.

- Well, you won't have
time. Your flight's too early.

I'll check references from San Diego.

We need a few days.

- Tomorrow will be just
fine. Let's say, 9:00 AM?

No, 9:00 is too early.

Oh, no. I think 9:00 AM is perfect.

Oh, she'll be here. 9:00 AM sharp.

Good. I'll see you then.

Okay.

Bye

Bye. [Door opens]

[Footsteps]

Trust me on this Robert. [Door closes]

[Silence]

Oh, I'm excited about it.

She's going to be just fine.

[Television playing]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Birds chirping]

[Door knock]

Come in, the door is open. [Door opens]

Good morning.

- Good morning, the
both of you and welcome.

[chuckles] - Thank you.

Oh, hang on. I forgot my posters.

Oh, and before I forget,

I need you to make out Victoria's cheques

to PBC Probation Services

with her account number right there.

22158C. And send them to this address.

I don't understand.

Oh, it's just a cheese on a restricted

allowance set by the court.

But don't worry, she
will receive the balance

at the end of her employment.

I see. Well, Miss Howell,

I would like to take Victoria
on a tour of the house.

Would you like to join us?

- I would love to. I was hoping
to see the place, anyway.

Good.

Here, I'll explain later. Just follow me.

There we go.

[Footsteps]

All right.

These are two-way communicators.

Well, quite clearly, I
am in no physical shape

To go up these stairs.
So, ladies, if you will?

Whatever.

[Footsteps]

- Now, Victoria, your
bedroom is the one to the right.

[Footsteps]

Not bad.

- I'm assuming you're
in the bedroom? Hello?

Yeah, we're here.

- Good. Good. The
linens are in that bathroom,

closet there.

Now, if you'll head down the
hall, you'll find my bedroom.

[Footsteps]

Geez.

[Footsteps]

What does she think she is?

A queen of England?

Looks that way, doesn't it?

I see you've found my bedroom.

Now, I'll need you to dust the furniture

and keep the windows clean.

Even though I'm not using my bedroom.

What? So I'm her maid now, too?

No, Victoria. You are not a maid.

I have a cleaning lady
that comes once a week.

Oh, lighten up.

[Footsteps]

- Woah. Wooh. This is
quite a breeze, isn't it?

[Laughs]

At any rate,

here we have the Intracoastal.

You will get quite a boat
show out here by the weekend.

Well, of course, not today
with the wind like this.

Do you see the sailboat out there?

[Ocean waves]

That... Victoria, you see the sailboat?

That belongs to Vincent and Lenny.

The two wonderful gentlemen

who moved in next door few years ago.

I think we met one of them yesterday.

- Good, they become
very good friends of mine.

They take me sailing
from time to time, Victoria.

Do you like sailing?

[Ocean waves]

I've never went.

[Ocean waves]

So where do they get all their bucks?

Well, we usually don't ask that question.

But, Vincent and his sister Wendy

have a gallery on Worth Avenue.

And, Lenny is in the real estate business.

All right, let's come along now.

We finished this tour,
get out of this wind.

[Ocean waves]

- All right. Now, this is
where you can reach me

If you need anything, anything at all.

Bye.

I'm going.

Stop by anytime, Miss Howell.

Thank you. You take care of yourself.

[Footsteps]

[Door opens]

[Footsteps]

[Door closes]

[Footsteps]

[Silence]

[Paper rustling]

I've, I've made up a task list for you.

Oh, you don't waste any time, do you?

No, I don't believe in wasting time.

Especially at my age.

And you might want to
use this nifty little gadget.

What is this?

It's a voice recorder.

You use it for making
verbal notes to yourself.

You know, to remind you about things

that need to be done in the future.

Well, you could use it
for anything [chuckles]

you wanted to. But I...

At any rate, just look at your task list,

and then take the rest of the day off.

And familiarize yourself with the property.

- Think I'll stick to pen
and paper. Thank you.

[Footsteps]

[Drum sound]

Victoria?

Victoria.

[Drum sound]

Victoria?

[Drum sound]

What the hell's going on?

- Oh. Well, you're okay.
Oh, thank goodness.

I was just about to call 911.

Why?

When you didn't answer me,

I became concerned.

- Did it ever occur to
you that I was sleeping?

That was my first assumption.

But when you didn't respond,

I thought something might be wrong.

Well, I'm just fine. Okay?

Excuse me,

but I did expect you for breakfast

this morning at 7:00.

Seven?

- Yes, that's the time I
normally have breakfast.

It was on your instruction sheet.

Isn't 7:00 a bit early?

No, not really.

Why? What time do you normally get up?

I don't know. 1:00, 2:00?

PM?

Yeah, is that a problem?

Oh, yes. Yes. It certainly is a problem.

Sleeping too long is not only
unproductive, it's unhealthy.

Now, I am willing to compromise

and have my breakfast at 8:00.

But I will expect you
every morning at 7:30.

[Clicks tongue]

AM.

PM.

[Birds chirping]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Background noises]

What are you reading?

- Reap Towards. A new real
estate investment magazine.

- Oh, by the way, I
picked up the sale today.

What they asked us for?

$1500

$1500? It was a tear.

I know. But they said they had to get

some special fabric from New..

Lenny, I wish you wouldn't do that.

She's gonna get fat.

She's already fat.

Well, that's because you keep feeding

her all that junk.

It's salami. Give me a break.

- Okay, let's talk about
the salami. Shall we?

All these little white spots? Pure fat.

I wouldn't be surprised if
he drew her blood right now

would look like mayonnaise.

Well, all I know is that

this fat tastes pretty darn good to me.

Doesn't it, Penny?

Yes, it does, darling. Oh, yes, it does.

[Music] [Birds chirping]

Looks like you've been fired, Vincent.

Fired?

Take a look.

[Birds chirping]

Oh, so she got the job.

What job?

She's the one from the other day.

The one who saved Penny.

Well, saved Penny or not,

she's certainly not
saving your roses, is she?

No, she's not, and she's drowning them.

Lenny, go talk to her.

You go talk to her, they're your roses.

[Music]

Fine. [background noises]

[Music]

This is fantastic.

You watch daddy go.

[Water running] [Music]

[Faucet closes]

Uhm, hello.

Hi, we just sort of met the other day

when you saved my dog.
Thank you, by the way.

She means a lot to me.

My name is Vincent. I live next door.

- Is there a particular reason
why you shut off my water?

Because, well...

- Because you're drowning
his roses. That's why.

I'm drowning the roses.

- Yes. Yes. You see,
you shouldn't water roses

during mid-day, especially
here in South Florida.

You should sprinkle them
in the morning or at night.

But they shouldn't be
flooded like you're doing here.

- Vincent's been taking
care of Althea's roses

for a couple of years now.

I think he knows what he's talking about.

- Look, I don't know where
you two Martha Stewarts

got your horticulture degree.

But if you sprinkle roses,

they're going to get black spot disease.

You know what black
spot disease is, don't you?

Well, I've...

- Of course he knows
what black spot disease is.

Well, good. Then you should know that

you're supposed to flood the base.

And it doesn't matter if
it's during the day or night.

Now, why don't you two
fags get out of my face?

So, I can finish what I was doing.

[Faucet opens]

[Water runs]

What did you just say?

You heard me.

- I hope you didn't just
say what I think you said.

Come on honey, let's just go.

No, we are not going to just go.

And I don't appreciate it

when someone uses a derogatory term

against us like that.

Excuse me.

Are we going to address
what you just said here?

[Water running]

Hello? I'm talking to you.

Lenny, it's so not worth it. Come on.

Let go of the hose.

Not until we have an apology.

You're going to have to let go sometime.

- Oh, you are a piece of work. - Lenny.

Thank you. I'm so glad you think so.

- Lenny, Lenny, Althea
wants to see us. Come on.

Why don't you go? Your mommy's calling.

Lenny?

You're a black spot disease.

[Water runs]

Don't tell me she's the one you hired.

Yes. Yes. She is.

I'm so sorry about that misunderstanding.

That was no misunderstanding.

- I must insist, Lenny. This
whole thing was my fault.

It's all... I take full responsibility.

I just forgot to tell her that Vincent

takes care of my roses.

Look at her. [Chuckles]

I didn't even put watering
the garden on her task list.

- Oh, sounds like I
should've educated myself

about roses.

Apparently, I've been
watering them the wrong way.

I told you that they look fine.

Now, why on Earth,

would you hire her over
all those other women?

She was best qualified.

Best qualified?

Yes. Yes. She was.

Now, I will admit, she does
have a few rough edges.

But I think once she
settles in, she'll be just fine.

This just doesn't seem like you.

Are we missing something here?

No. No, not at all.

Now, please, both of you,

Do me a favor. And just just be patient

with her. Will you?

Okay, Althea, we can do that.

Right, Lenny.

[Silence]

Lenny?

I'll treat her like my own sister.

Good, good.

Now, I have a few things
to do. I'll see you boys later.

- Good bye. Bye-bye.

Something's not right.

Or maybe she's a relative or something.

Well, I'm keeping my eye on her.

Hey, I thought you hated your sister?

Exactly.

Ugh, dear.

[Foot steps]

[Cricket sound]

[Foot steps]

Ain't a little late to be on that thing?

Victoria.

You mustn't sneak up on people like that.

Especially the elderly.

Geez. Sorry.

What is it you want?

- What? Now I need permission
to get something to eat.

[Thud]

No, of course not. I'm sorry.

Just, just help yourself.

[Foot steps] [Background noises]

So what were you doing anyway?

Research.

What kind of research?

I'm interested in

certain people.

Oh, so that's it.

That's what?

You're researching me.

You're studying me.

What are you doing? You're
writing a book on whores.

How could you say such a thing?

Is this the only cereal you got?

[Thud]

Yes, I'm afraid that's all I have.

[Rustling noise]

Great.

Victoria, I don't want you to think

the reason I hired you was to study you.

- Well, it's not a common
practice for a prim

and proper lady to hire hookers

a helpmate, is it?

- I'm not your common prim
and proper old lady either.

- So, how did you end up
with the palace like this, huh?

Well, wouldn't exactly call it a palace

especially compared to
some of the other fine homes

here in Palm Beach.

But to answer your question.

This is the very house in which I grew up.

You've lived here, your whole life?

On this same property, since 1935.

So you're an old maid.

I prefer to think that is being single.

Well, you never got married.

But are you a dyke or something?

[Background noises]

Do you mean am I from Holland?

No. And besides, not
everybody gets married.

Well, there's usually a reason for that.

I suppose I had never met the right man.

What about you? Have you ever been married?

I wouldn't go there if you paid me all

the money in the world.

Well, you might change your mind someday.

Or are you from Holland?

So tell me about yourself.

[Sigh] There's nothing to tell.

- Well, you, you have
22 years to your life.

So, surely there must be some story there.

[Silence]

You couldn't handle my story.

[Silence]

Try me.

[Silence]

Okay.

[Silence]

I grew up on a farm in Minnesota.

I ran away at 14.

I lived with a few jerks
in Chicago until I was 18.

Then I went to Atlanta for a while.

Then I came to Miami and dance to the club.

Turn my first trick at 21.

And here I am a hooker at the age 22.

Oh, and now I'm babysitting at Palm Beach

so I don't have to go to prison.

The end.

That sounds more like a synopsis to me.

I'm more interested in the whole picture.

Well, the movie isn't showing it.

[Silence]

Your cereal sucks, by the way.

[Background noises]

Don't eat it.

[Foot steps]

[Background noises]

What's this?

She's bad news, Vincent.

- Who is? -That psycho next door.

- She's supposed to be
doing a two-year prison

sentence right now.

Oh my gosh, for what?

- Get this, she's a hooker.
And when she sleeps

with her John, she steals their wallets.

Wait, how do you know this?

Remember Brian Guilbert?

Brian Guilbert, Brian Guilbert.

No. Can't say that I do

- Brian Guilbert. We met
him at Sunfest last year.

He works for the Miami-Dade court system.

Sorry, don't remember.

Anyhow, he gave me the information.

He also says, she's violent.

Violent?

- Yeah. Get this, on
her first day of prison.

She got into a brawl with an inmate.

You're worried about Althea.

Well, of course, I'm worried about Althea

Aren't you?

Well, she means the world to us, but

that doesn't give you
the right to go messing

around with this whole thing.

Well, somebody better start messing

around with this whole thing or else

something bad is going to happen to Althea.

- Lenny, like I said before,
she could be a relative

and Althea probably just helping her out.

Its most likely nothing.

- Not likely. Althea is an
only child and she's never

been married.

- Well still it doesn't give
you the right to interfere.

Unless I have something
to base your concerns on.

- Well, Brian told me
that she's on probation.

If she slips up just
once, it's back to prison.

Lenny, please stay out of this.

- I care about Althea
and I'm not just going to sit

back and one day find
her either ripped off or dead.

[Foot steps] [Sighs]

[Background noises]

[Chattering] -Oh, oh.
She's in right. I don't think.

I know. [Laughs]

[Chattering]

[Laughs]

[Rustling noise]

[Laughter]

Watch out. [Laughs]

Right there, right there.

[Rustling noise]

[Chattering]

[Laughter]

[Rustling noise]

It does.

Yeah, it is. It does

Oh, you decided to join us. Good.

I'm not joining anything.

Would you mind keeping it down?

You sound like a
bunch of little schoolgirls.

Honey, there ain't no way to keep it down

playing this game.

Hi, I'm Steven. You must be Victoria.

Can I see you for a minute?

[Sighs]

Excuse me, gentlemen. [Foot steps]

I'll be right back.

[Silence]

[Whispers]

What is it?

- You know, I didn't say
anything the other day

about the two next door,

but now you have that new one out there,

and I think it's time I clued you in.

I'm sorry. I don't understand.

You have no idea that you have a room

full of fags, do you?

Oh, that's it.

Well, if you're referring
to their homosexuality,

I am certainly a well aware of that.

And you're okay with that?

I mean, you being
apparently religious and all?

- Just because I may not
agree with their lifestyle,

doesn't mean I shouldn't love them.

We are called upon to
love thy neighbor as thyself.

And these people are my neighbors

and my good friends.

So if there's nothing else,

I think I better get back there.

Sure. You won't join us?

Positive.

Your loss.

What do you want?

- Well, let's just say I'm here
to make you a proposition.

I don't do tricks anymore.

That is not what I meant.

[Ocean waves]

But I did hear that you were on probation.

And that if you slipped up just once,

it's back to prison for you.

Do you have a point?

Well to be honest I don't trust you.

And I don't want you around Althea anymore.

- Oh, Lenny. Now, why
wouldn't you trust me?

- Look, here's the deal.
I want you to go away

and stay out of Althea's life for good.

And if you choose not
to, I'm going to watch your

every move. And if you slip up just once,

I'm gonna call the police.

Oh, you're going to call the police?

Now that really scares me.
You know what? I was thinking

- about leaving this joking place anyway.
- Well, good.

- I'm glad we understand.
- But just to piss you off. I think I'm

going to stick around a while.

[Background noise]

[Seagulls squaking]

[Piano playing]

- My favorite tune is Chopsticks.
- So stupid kid song.

- Not the way I play it. You want to hear it?
- Not really.

- Well I do.
- Move the bench. It starts like this.

[Piano playing]

But it gets better.

[Piano playing]

The hell is this?

[Piano playing]

Some people say it ain't natural.

We get along my long nose ring.
Some people say it ain't factual

- I hate to be a backseat
driver, but the speed

limit here is 35 miles per
hour. Let me get you this sort

- of a thing. Would you?
- Some people say it's a scandal.

[Car horns] - Now there's
no need to get excited.

So jump in my old jalopy.

- Rule that all wrecked
top down. Over and now.

I'm sorry, but I don't prefer
this job and include me

as if your chauffeur.

Actually, it was listed as one of my

list. There's no crime to
be driving so slowly, so we'll

be fine. Any reason you
were going so slow back there?

I'm elderly. And, and I
won't let it go over 15.

So you'll have to go at least
30 or you'll have to take the back

roads, Ma'am. She could cause
an accident driving that slow.

Yes, sir. Will do just that.
Ladies, you both have a good day.

Pleasant young, man.
Okay. Now this time let's all try

to remember to start on
the beat ready on my count.

One, two, and three. Oh, dear.
Oh dear. That's middle C middle.

Middle C dear, middle C.

Middle C.

- Check it out. Hey, my friend Jason likes you.
- Shut up!

He says he wants to go out with you, too.

I said, shut up. What's your problem, dude?

Hey, I think she likes you too.

Hey ugly, what's your
problem? Ugly? That's funny.

Who you calling ugly, huh?
I didn't mean it. I'm sorry.

Oh, you're real tough now aren't you?

Just like if I shove up
this cigarette up your nose.

Would you like that?

No.

You all came in on the beat,
that's wonderful. Give yourselves

a big hand. It's amazing. Isn't it? Right?

Yes, it was.

Are you out there Jeffrey?

Yes I am.

We have an issue.

- She took a cigarette and she
was gonna put it on my nose.

This little piss ant said I was ugly.

- She's lying. - I'm not ass white.
- Victoria that language

is unnecessary. Larry go call
the police. Larry is the driver,

I assume.

Yes. Why?

What a shame.

Why would that be a shame?

- Well, it's unfortunate,
but it's quite clear

that these children were
left alone and unattended.

And exposed to great danger,
including a large School Bus,

left with its motor running
and it's driver gone. So Larry,

do call the police. I like to
get this thing straightened out.

I have a class waiting and
I really do need to get back.

- Larry. Larry. Wait,
just hold on. I really want

to get to the bottom of this. Okay?

Correy did you call that girl names?

Huh?

Did you verbally assault that young woman?

Did you?

I didn't mean to. It's just that.

- Just as I thought. Now go
over there and apologize to her,

right now. Go on. Go.

Sorry.

- Now, get on the bus and I
will be calling your parents.

Go on. I am really sorry.

Sometimes he can be a bit of a problem.

Just get a little bit out
of hand, you know?

And I'm certain, you'll make sure it

never happens again. Won't you? Good day?

[footsteps]

[music playing]

Is everything alright in there?

Yes, I'm fine.

You don't need any help?

No.

Fine. All right. You seem a little upset.

I'm not.

- Alright, I'll just put the
knives and forks around the nice

go on the right, and
the forks, on the left.

Great expectations.

I've never had macaroni and
cheese as an appetizer before.

It's not an appetizer.

It's not an appetizer?

What what is it?

It's food, you know the meal.

[laughs] Victoria it's Thanksgiving.

What happened to the turkey I bought?

It was rotten.

Rotten?

I screwed up the meal. Okay, I'm sorry.

- All right, it's all right.
No, it really is. I can't

tell you how many turkeys,
I have destroyed my life.

Now, we'll just we'll just
have the macaroni and cheese

and the antifreeze.

[liquid pouring]

We still have a lot to be grateful for you.

Toast?

To what?

The macaroni and cheese.

[clinking glasses]

My life.

[music]

She's got a 10-foot knee on Jesus.

She can communicate with her dead dog.

She's getting enough dreams to fill heaven.

She can show you what it's like in Hell.

She comes from an ordinary family.

She's got a black dog for your sister.

She's gonna kill her for a brother.

They say she never really knew her father.

And you know they say it just as well.

She comes from an ordinary family.

[music]

Now she's got diets and addiction.

She's been begging guns
inside her flintstone lunchbox.

But she's been sick about the garbage man.

On her holy trashy stands.

She comes from a system.
She comes on the street.

She comes from the ordinary places.

She comes on the
darkness to resurrect the light.

She cuts like a a dagger
to the quiet overnight

When she speaks to his own
to the shadows of this land.

In the spirit of man's
inhumanity to himself.

Oh no.

[music]

- Here's a lovely piece was
given to my mother by a friend

in Germany. Oh they
look beautiful on the tree.

Well, you're from Minnesota.

Did you live in the city or the country?

Country.

- Well, you must have chopped
down your own Christmas trees.

Yep, right off the 80.

The 80?

Yeah, we had 80 acres of
woods right next to our farm.

We used to take the tractor
out and cut down a tree.

My brother and I would fight
over who got to drive it back

to the house.

Oh, you drove a tractor.

I'm sitting on my dad's knee.

Does your family still live there?

Just the synopsis? Remember?

Oh, I'm sorry, of course, of course.

I'm so curious why you never got married?

- Well, as I told you I
never found the right man.

You ever date?

Date? of course I've dated.

And?

- And dating in my day
was not like it is today.

I can assure you of that.

What does that supposed to mean?

- Well, my father was of the
old-school I guess you'd say.

And he wanted to make
sure that any man I dated was

of fine stock.

- So he was a money
living control freak, huh?

- I don't appreciate
that comment, Victoria.

My father was a wonderful
man with good intentions.

You must to had pretty high standards.

Why do you say that?

- Because it's obvious, you
never found your fine stock.

Well, I think that does it.

Let's take a look.

Oh, it's lovely, isn't it?

That's cool.

Good. Let's take a picture.

No, I don't do pictures.

Oh, come on, Victoria.
Where's your Christmas spirit?

Who's gonna take it?

I am Smile. Smile.

[camera shutters]

Did you smile? Oh, dear.

Oh, honestly, they'll be here any minute.

Who?

- The medical transport people. I
am getting out of this thing today.

Woah! I can't wait.

[music plays]

Sunshine.

Thanks.

[music]

[violin sound]

- Now, here's an interesting
piece Lauren Olitski.

She's the daughter of Jules Olitski.

He's a very well-known, contemporary

painter, and the styles are so similar.

Step off my posters, thank you.

- Here we have, Lamar
Bricks. He's a very fine

artist Althea. Here. It is.
The promise of the sea. Oh,

Wendy

thank you. It's, it's beautiful.
Do you want me to have

this delivered and hung?

Oh, no, it's a gift.

That's quite a gift Althea.

Yes. It's for someone very special to me.

Okay, I'll have this wrapped up for you.

Thank you.

[footsteps]

- Althea tells me things are
going pretty well over there.

It's a job.

But from what I hear, she's very happy.

So must be doing something right?

Like I said, it's a job.

Well, thank you.

Well, I'm glad it's all working
out, but there is one problem,

we have to nip it in the bud right now.

What?

- You've been tutoring her
around in her $200,000 car, without

a driver's license.

- She has a license. - This is no joke.

You are on probation, remember?

- What was I supposed to
do she needed to get around?

You were supposed to tell her a friend.

You do not have a license.

- If I recall, I didn't hear anything
in the interview about me needing

a license or did I see anything
on the task sheet about

having to drive her around?

Okay, fine. Do me a favor.

Don't drive her around anymore
until I can figure something out.

What am I supposed to tell her?

I'll talk to her.

Maybe she can take a cab for
a couple of days or something.

Oh, I found some things out about your dad.

You might want to know about.

- Like I told you before I
could care less about him.

Okay, suit yourself.

So, what is he sick? Or something?

- No, but he managed to get
himself thrown into jail for 5 years.

You got to be kidding me.

Wish I was.

Looks like jail runs in the family.

- Seems he burned the barn down
to collect the insurance money.

I guess he has a gambling addiction.

Understatement of the year.

You know, you never told me about this.

What does it have to do with me?

Look, I got to get back.
Can we just go now?

Yeah, sure. Just a second.

Merry Christmas.

I didn't get you anything.

It's alright.

Thanks.

Joy to the world, the Lord has come.

Let earth received thy gift.

Let every heart, prepare him room.

- Good morning, Victoria,
and Merry Christmas.

Hi.

I've been so excited about this day.

I could hardly get to sleep last night.

I hope all these presents aren't for me.

Well, some of them are.

Oh, well, Merry Christmas.

What is this?

Open it and find out.

Oh, you didn't have to get me a gift.

Oh, this is wonderful.
Oh. Such a beautiful bottle.

Oh, wherever did you get it?

Just around, does it matter?

- Oh, it smells wonderful. Here.
You have good taste Victoria.

Thank you. All right now, it's your turn.

Oh, thank you.

[Paper rustling]

What is it?

It's a VW radio that can take an iPod.

You know what an iPod is, don't you?

Yes, I've heard of them.

- Oh, this is a wonderful
gadget. It has a zip connect that

attaches to any iPod or MP3
player and it has a remote

control that operates the
entire car. And most importantly,

it has an alarm clock. That
will get you out of bed in

the morning. That was
just a little joke. Well, there's

more open it up and find out.

Look in the front seat.

I don't get it. What is this?

It's yours.

Mine?

Merry Christmas Victoria.

- Are you kidding me? - Not at all.

Oh, my God.

[Car horns]

- Oh no, hit the button on
the remote. Hit the button.

This is, this is amazing.

- I couldn't see you driving my big city block any
longer. So I thought something a bit more compact to a do.

Of course, you won't be able to drive it until
you get that license. Miss Howell told me.

So how did you get this?

- Oh, you'd be amazed at what you
can buy on the internet these days.

No, this isn't right.

What's wrong with it?

Nothing is wrong with it. I've been working for
you for a couple months. I don't deserve this.

You earned it.

- Nobody earns a car after a few
months on the job. This is way too freaky.

- I'm hosting a New Year's Eve party
next week with Lenny and Vincent.

I bought you a dress.
Would you like to see it?

I'm not going to a Percy party.

Yes, you are.

I need you to help me about.

I'm not wearing a dress and
I'm not going to their stupid party.

- Need I remind you
that you do work for me.

- Yeah, I'm part of the job with the hang
around, with a bunch of phonies either.

You are going to the party.

The hell I am.

[liquor pouring]

Well, hello ladies.

Hello, Lenny.

- Doesn't it just looks like
Cinderella and the Fairy Godmother.

- It's actually Victoria and Althea
looking at the fairy Godfather.

Oh, is that all you got?

Victoria that was uncalled for.

I'm so sorry Lenny.

- Oh, don't worry about it.
But can I ask you something?

- Is she related to you in some way?
- No. Why?

- It's just a mystery to me why
you would hire someone like that?

- Sometimes it's a mystery to me too. But to
answer your question, I thought I could help her.

- Well, that doesn't seem
to be working out, does it?

A work in progress?

Lenny, Lenny guess what I just saw?

Oh, hi out there.

Hello, Vincent.

You look fabulous.

Thank you, darling.

Did Victoria?

Yes. She's here. Unfortunately.

Vincent. Who did you see?

- I think I saw Rod Stewart. If you saw
Rod Stewart, then I saw Frank Sinatra.

Well, obviously, Frank isn't here.

But Rod is.

He is?

Yes, I invited him.

[music]

[music]

- That's really nice. Don't let
your wife buy you anyway. What?

[music]

She took my drink.

[music]

Althea

Oh, Eleanor.

Wonderful party.

Thank you. Thank you.

Where's your assistant?

- Well, I haven't seen her for
quite some time and it worries me.

- I'm sure she'll be fine with all
the fine young stuck here tonight.

I'm sure one of them will
invite her out for a stroll.

That's what I'm afraid of.

- Althea sweetie. It's
time for the auction.

Oh, yeah, really? Oh heavens.

Oh, have you seen Victoria?

- Earlier, but not lately.
Come on, we have to go.

We have to go. We have to go.

Ladies and gentlemen, tonight's
we have a spectacular auction.

One that surpasses

them all from our friends
at Chariots of Palm Beach.

We have on our auction tonight.

This brand new beautiful Morgan, Aero 8.

[Crowd applause]

Our opening bid for his magnificent
automobile starts at 50,000.

Do we have an opening bid of $50,000?

We already have $50,000. Good.

Do we have 60, 60 thousand?
Do I have 60,000? Thank you.

We have 65, 65 thousand dollars?

65,000, no, what the hell?

85,000.

[crowd in awe]

My goodness 85,000. We have 85,000 dollars.

Do we have 90? Ladies and
gentlemen, ninety thousand.

- Ninety ninety thousand. Excellent.
We have 90,000 over here $90,000.

Ladies and gentlemen,
do we have 100, $100,000?

Ladies and gentlemen, do we
have 100,000100,000 dollars?

Unless you've got that kind of money.

I am not getting stuck
with that six-figure go-kart.

- $100,000. - 125.

Enough Victoria.

We have $125,000. Do we have
150, ladies and gentlemen, 150,000?

Oh my goodness, we can
see ladies and gentlemen.

This is obviously one desired
automobile. Do we have two hundred?

Two hundred thousand dollars
for this beautiful Morgan Aero 8.

Do we have 200?

Don't?

[music]

I have never been so humiliated
in my entire life as I was tonight.

Here, drink this. You need it.

- Maybe you should have made
me go to that joke of a party then.

- That joke of a party as you
call it, was for a worthy cause.

The whole worthy cause.

- Yeah, it's just another excuse for the high school
Glee Club to get together and flaunt their wealth.

- That High School Glee Club
has raised over 1 million dollars.

Okay.

- Wait, this conversation is far from
over now. You just come and sit down.

Let go.

[ Glass shatters]

Vincent.

Oh, oh, oh.

[ Door opens]

Althea!

I knew this was gonna happen. You bitch!

She fell.

Oh, she fell, she didn't fall. That's it!

I've had...

No! Lenny stop!

I'll kill you.

- Stick it off your ass,
you son of a bitch!

No! You don't understand. Lenny.

You don't understand. She
never laid a hand on me Lenny.

[ Car starts engine]

Oh, she is taking the car!

Oh no please! Oh, Lenny.

We've got to stop her.

It's too late now that she's gone.

I'm gonna call the police.

No, don't call the police.

She almost killed you Althea.

We need to get you to an emergency room.

You might have broken bones.

I said, I am fine.

- Oh, come on Althea. Now do you
expect us to believe that you just fell?

- It was an accident. She
had nothing to do with it.

Now. We have got to find
her, she's drunk. She's driving it.

We gotta find her.

Althea, where would we look?

- I don't know I'll have
to call Ms. Howell.

I'll call her.

Her number is by the phone.

- Where is her number? - By the phone.

Where is my cane?

[music] Take the first step.

Take the risk. Take the
fall. Take your first drink.

Take a sip. Take it on.

Quench the howling chaos
that stirs within the heart.

Bridge the gap of
differences keeping us apart.

[scream]

[glass shatters]

[music]

Do you wonder this desert of mine

Come to me. I've got
bread and I've got wine.

Come to me and I'll come to you.

Crossing over crossing over.

She's asleep. She'll be fine.

Oh God.

Thank you so much.

You can go home now Jim.

Are you sure?

- Yes, I'll walk you to the
door. Oh what a night huh?

- No everything is okay. She should be fine. Yeah, she'll
be out in a minute. I'll call you back. Yeah, not really.

I'll call you back. Okay, I got
to go. Here she is. Bye bye.

So, how'd you do?

I can drive.

Cool!

- Sarah? Why didn't
you turn me in last week?

- Hey, you think I was going to grab all the way down at the
courthouse and fill out all of that paperwork on your behalf.

Thanks a lot.

- Listen, you want to know the
real reason I didn't turn you in?

Yeah.

- Because when I was your age, I was
on the street too, and I know how it is.

You were a hooker.

- Yes. I was a hooker. Why
do you look so surprised?

- No, man, I'm sorry. You just
don't seem like the hooker type.

- What? You mean you can't
see me in a tube top and hot pants.

Hey, come on girl. You got your license.

Sarah. Come on.

Party pooper.

[footsteps]

- After you told me I could find you here.
Victoria. Please. Wait a second. Just hear me out.

What happened the other day? It was horrible and it
shouldn't have happened. I'm sorry, I have no right.

- I've never met one person
in my life, who's been sorry.

So why you Lenny? Althea put you up to it?

Well, she did

play a little part in it, but
but I wouldn't be here if

I didn't want to be either
and that's the truth. Have you

ever been hurt Lenny? Course,
I've been hurt. No, I mean

hurt. Down to the Core. Yes, I have.

About halfway, so I
can't tell the difference.

Hey, doesn't that stuff? What
kind of watering? It's synthetic.

How much did you pay for
this $1,000? But that includes

the driveway Tunes. Why you
have about one minute? To get

your crooked asses out of
here before I call the police,

for what I think, you know
exactly what I'm talking about.

Come on, huh? I said, come
on man. What about good money

now? You're getting ripped off
next time. Don't be so trusting.

What about my driveway?

Who's there? Victoria is
everything. All right? What is

it? When I was 13 or Hayfield
caught fire, so we had to

buy all her. Hey, from a farm,
a few miles away. My mom

would haul it from the
Wilcox for him to our place and

my dad. And a couple of
farm hands and my uncle Daryl.

Would stay back at the farm
to stack day. My Dad decided

that if we were going to make
our vacation that Saturday

that my mom would have to
haul to hay wagons instead of

one. Mom and Ryan were late
getting back. And my dad thought

that maybe they ran out of
gas. So he sent me out with

a gas, can to go find them.
They used to take this, the

shortcut that we call the
goalie Crossing. It was this

trail that we cut out through
the woods right next to the

st. Croix. I would save them
about 20 minutes. As I was

driving next to the river. I
sought some, hey, floating

in the water. So, I got off
the ATV to to take a look.

Can I just? I just saw more.
Hey. I knew something was

wrong, when I ran up to the
river. When I ran to the river,

she was as floating face down.
Who Victoria. My mom attractor

in the wagons full of the
embankment. Killed her and Ryan.

After the funeral my dad. You
wanted this really deep depression.

You didn't leave the house
for over a month. Never eat.

He'd sleep all day. He thought
the accident was his fault,

because he doubled up my mom
with those wagons. I was close

to my dad. He should call
me sunshine. He said when he

saw my face up right now
because all day. And after the

accident, you never call me
Sunshine again. And some of

our neighbors thought it
would be good to get him out of

the house. So they took him
to a casino that opened up

in the next County. It's
wearing it that right? Mary. It's

stay out all night. Just gambling
away, everything we had.

I heard a car and I thought it
was my dad coming home early.

But it wasn't. Is my uncle
Daryl. He was drunk. He said

that, my dad send a check
up on me. when I went outside

and couldn't see him anywhere,
so, I heard a noise in the

barn. Dark, when I got
closer. He was in there, waiting

for me. You rate me that
night. He told me that. If I ever

told anyone that something
bad would happen to my dad and

I never be able to see him
again. Came back to the farm

every week in time.
Finally. Just had to run away.

Hi, how'd you get up here? I
walked. Oh, so I suppose you're

wondering why I'm in your
bedroom. It did cross my mind.

You know, it's a really cool
bedroom. I thought I could

go for, you know, an upgrade.
I don't mind the upgrade.

I can't say, I'm crazy about
your posters on my artwork.

I'll take that down. Oh,
no, it's alright. It's alright.

I can replace them. Please
sit down and I want to talk

to you. I want to share
something with you that I think

will help you with your
healing process. I know, go to

therapy. Well, yes therapy
may be needed. But what I'm

talking about is a catalyst
to help you on your journey

towards freedom. Okay, and
what's this catalyst? Forgiveness,

you expect me to forgive.
Do you remember the first day

we met? Do you know what
I saw? I saw the real Victoria

Walker. She was hiding, she
was afraid and she was laced

with bitterness. But I saw
her. Victoria that bitterness

breeds hate and that hate
breeds destruction, physically,

mentally and spiritually. In
order for you, to start your

journey towards Freedom.
You have to learn to forgive.

You have to forgive your
father, for abandoning you. and,

hard as it may seem You
have to forgive your uncle Daryl.

How am I supposed to forgive
that bastard when he's dead?

Victoria Victoria, I knew
this would be hard. I just didn't

know how hard I wasn't
finished. After you've forgiven

your family, you ultimately
have to forgive yourself, Victoria.

I know that even though you
did nothing wrong. You still

feel shame. You have to
forgive yourself, Victoria, please.

I know. It can be hard to
forgive. I just want you to know

that. When you're ready. If
somebody to help. Yeah, where

was he? When all that was happening to me?

It seems love Adam. No way.
I'm coming. Nothing could have

saved me. You went straight.

Something about him.
Who draws me back again.

Something about you prove
its me we're falling. It feels

like I'm reaching China.
Hold on. There's still hope I

know.

Rose me and we're falling.

We start falling falling.

Thank you everyone for coming
to the 10th, Annual Philbrook

Center, Senior piano recital. I
am most grateful to Steinway

piano gallery of Boca Raton
for these two wonderful Steinway,

pianos. And for the use of
this beautiful Recital Hall.

And before we begin today's
wonderful event. I have a special

treat for you. I would like
to introduce you to a very

dear friend. Of mine. Victoria.
Walker, who will accompany

me in a wonderful old piece
that I'm sure. Most of you

will recognize.

You did a wonderful job today.
Thanks, man. I was so nervous.

Well, I didn't see it. Not
one bit. You know, there are

those asking if you'll come
again next year. I have no

clue where I'll be next year.

You know you year with me
expires in few weeks. I know.

Have you thought about what
you're going to do? Will Sarah

thinks I should get my GED
and then go to some kind of

trade school. Well, if you
go to school, you'll need a

place to stay and a part-time
job. So why not stay here

and get your education?
No, I can't. I mean, it's not that

there's anything wrong
with being here. It's just, I'm

not really cut out to be a
helping especially in Palm Beach.

Oh my gosh, are you okay?
Honestly, I can be so clumsy.

Sometimes, no, I'm fine.
I'll get it later. If I just need

a new platter. Could you
go up to the attic and and get

me? Another platter? There's
one on the Shelf closest to

the stairs. It's a platter with
leaves. On the rim. Yeah.

Sure. Thank you.

Did you find it? Okay. Because
I was only getting a synopsis.

Right.

When I was 16, I fell madly
in love with the young man

who was a friend of our
family. And I got pregnant. Being

with child out of wedlock in
those days was serious matter.

So our parents got together
and quickly made arrangements

for a wedding. So no one
would find out. it was a picture

perfect day for a wedding.
The ceremony was supposed to

start at one. but then, 130
came and to o'clock, and Stephen

was nowhere to be found. Steven
was the man. You were marrying

the fine stock that you talked
about. Yes. Yes. But then

the best man came to me with
a letter. It was from Stephen.

And he said that. He had
never loved me. He didn't want

a baby. And that he had met
a woman and he was sailing

to Europe with her that very
same day. I felt like my life

ended that day. So what
happened to the baby? My parents

took me to a home for unwed
mothers where I would have

the baby and give it up
for adoption. A little baby girl

was born to me there. I named
her Elizabeth and she was

so beautiful. They told me
they had already found a family

for her and they would be
coming for her in two weeks.

I had sister before they take
her away, that she be baptized.

So, my mother got the local
Minister and the ceremony was

held right there in my room.
And two weeks past. And I

was walking along the ocean.
With my baby. And I saw if

he adoption people and my
parents approaching it, my heart

just filled with Dread. They
took my baby out of my arms.

And I cried out, find you
Elizabeth. Someday. I promise

I will. but, I never saw her
again. My parents had signed

papers. It wouldn't allow me
to see her until she became

of age. I thought I thought
she might. contact me when

she grew up, but she never
did. And I probably never told

her about you. Is that why?
You're always on the internet

you looking for? It's my
only hope that technology, my

only hope of ever finding
her again. So, what about all

the presents in the Attic?
The letters, I buy her birthday

presents and Christmas
presents. I sent her letters and

cards just as if she were here
in the hopes that someday,

I'll find her, and I can give
her a present for every year

I missed. So he gave me this
whole sermon, and forgiveness.

You're free. This guy. Oh,
yes long ago. What did he say?

I never found him, but I
forgave him. What good is that

if you forgive him, and he
has no clue. Victoria people

made never receive your
forgiveness. They may never even

know that you forgave them.
But forgiveness is also for

yourself. It helps set you
free remember. So he forgave

this guy. Did you give yourself? Did you?

Okay. Hope she's ready. So
you're holding up? Okay. Yeah.

Oh, there she is. Oh, hey
girl. Yeah, I'm ready. Sarah.

I want to thank you for
bringing her into my life. Now,

where are you heading from
here? Minnesota got some business

to do with my past. I think
I might have to do a little

bit of that myself, one of
these days. Good luck. Thank

you. Now, before you go
there's a, there's a few things.

I want to give you. Oh.
Well, certainly you deserve it

by now. Thank you. Thank you
so much. You are quite welcome.

And these are some photos
that I took during this last

year, but don't you want them?
I have duplicates, you know

me. And I want you to
have this. No. No, I couldn't. I

know how much it means
to you, Victoria. I don't need it

anymore. I have something
for you, too. What is this? It's

a song. I wrote for you. I
use your micro recorder and

burn the file to CD using your
computer. Oh, Victoria here.

Thank you. I am going to
miss you, Victoria Walker. I miss

you, too.

Goodbye, Victoria. Come
back and see us. Okay, I will,

oh, it's just like the end of
The Wizard of Oz and you're

going back to Kansas. I bet
you're going to miss me just

like you would the Scarecrow,
then wouldn't you? I'm gonna

miss you. And if you need
anything. You know where we are.

Okay, okay. Thank you,
Lenny. Fuck. Thank you.

Well, Victoria Walker. You
have become quite a young lady.

Thank you. I'm very proud
of you. Call me when you get

back. Okay? Okay. Don't miss your plane.

Wholehearted serenity.
Come. As simplistic as you are.

Come sincerity, come willingly.
Come with a maskless face

of Your Love. Come ground
me as radiant. As you are

to, we now leave our past
behind come with a mess class

face of Your Love. Come
vulnerability. Come courageous,

want as radiant. As You Are.

Do we now leave our past behind?

You remember in our last
meeting your client agreed to

450? Okay. Yeah. Well, you
just tell that tightwad bastard

that if you wants to
property, get sorry, just just tell

your client that. If you
want the property, he's going

to have to pay what we
originally agreed on. Okay. Thank

you. Call Judy back.

Even when I'm overworked,
even when I'm under paid, even

when I can't fall asleep
and the clock on the wall just

creeps in slow motion even
when I'm not, The flavor of

the month, even when I've
been rejected on all fronts,

even when I lose control
and decided just better to roll

with the punches. I have
a feeling I exist. I am I have

time.

Unemployed, even when the
world around me has been destroyed

even when I'm out on a limb
and the chances of winning

are slim or next to nothing.
Even when I've been humbled

by my life, even when I hammered
up my own cry, even when

I'm out in the blue, sporting
a new tattoo that just as

losers. I had like, I exist.

Oh, yeah,

no longer gives shelter to
my pain when all of my good

intentions. Leave me standing.
Make it in the once again.

I have, like, I had feelings.
I exist. I am breathing.

I have time. I am
strained. I have possibility.

To this

to this to this. Not living in some book

to this dancing inside.

To this guy.
