Ann: MY MOTHER MADE
AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF NOISE

WHEN SHE ATE HER FOOD.

IT WAS AS IF SHE WAS TRYING TO
TASTE THE ENTIRE WORLD.

SOMETIMES I JUST
COULDN'T STAND HER.

SOMETIMES I HATED HER.

SOMETIMES I THOUGHT
SHE WAS RUINING MY LIFE.

WHAT KEPT ME GOING WAS KNOWING
THAT ONE DAY I WOULD LEAVE HER.

* I'LL FIND IT
ANYWHERE BUT HERE *

[TURNS OFF RADIO]

I HATE THIS SONG.

I LOVE THIS SONG.
IT'S THE BEACH BOYS.

I HATE THE BEACH BOYS.

HONEY, HOW CAN YOU
HATE THE BEACH BOYS?

NOBODY HATES
THE BEACH BOYS.

THEY'RE TOO HAPPY
AND SUNNY.

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN
TO LIKE HAPPY AND SUNNY,

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
CALIFORNIA'S ALL ABOUT.

OH, NEXT STOP,
SALT LAKE CITY. YES!

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH.
THE CAPITOL, RIGHT?

I DON'T CARE.

OH, YES, YOU DO CARE.

COME ON, DON'T MUMBLE.
YOU CARE.

YOU'RE VERY GOOD
AT CAPITOLS.

IDAHO.

COME ON, POOH BEAR,
IDAHO.

STOP CALLING ME POOH BEAR.

BUT YOU ARE MY LITTLE
POOH BEAR. COME ON.

COME ON. IDAHO.

BOISE!
I DON'T WANT TO PLAY.

OK, NOW YOU
DO ONE FOR ME.

A REALLY HARD ONE.

I SAID I DON'T WANT TO PLAY.

[WHIMPERING]

OREGON.

PORTLAND.
TOO EASY.

SALEM.

IT'S SALEM?

I DON'T WANT
TO DO THIS ANYMORE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE IN UTAH.

2,000 MILES BETWEEN US
AND BAY CITY. OK.

I WANT TO BE
BACK IN BAY CITY.

THIS IS LIKE BEING KIDNAPPED.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
THAT, DO YOU?

I WISH SOMEBODY
HAD KIDNAPPED ME

WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE.

SO DO I.

Ann: GRANDMA ALWAYS SAID
THAT MY MOM WAS A STRANGE CHILD.

OH, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY
MORIBUND.

GWEN PURVIS HAS CANCER.

THAT'S WORSE.

I DIDN'T
GIVE IT TO HER.

YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HER.

THAT'S FUNNY, AUNT ADELE.

YOU'RE GONNA DIE
ONE DAY, TOO, MOM,

JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.

BUT NOT IN THIS TOWN.

Ann: MY MOTHER NEVER
WANTED TO STAY IN BAY CITY.

I THINK SHE MARRIED
MY STEPFATHER TED

BECAUSE HE WAS SO NICE
AND SO CLEAN.

BEING AN ICE SKATING INSTRUCTOR
MADE HIM SEEM CLEANER.

SHE MISSED MY REAL FATHER,
WHO WAS EGYPTIAN,

DARK, AND ROMANTIC.

ONE CHRISTMAS EVE
I HEARD MY PARENTS ARGUING.

[CAR DOOR CLOSES]

[ENGINE STARTS]

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING
UNTIL HE WAS GONE.

HE DROVE AWAY
IN OUR BROWN VALIANT.

I'M SORRY.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY.

YOU'RE AWFULLY QUIET.

YOU SAID WE'D SEE
AN INDIAN RESERVATION.

WHEN WE GET TO ONE,
WE WILL SEE ONE.

SWEETIE, DON'T MUMBLE.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA BE AN ACTRESS
IF YOU CAN'T SPEAK CLEARLY?

I DON'T WANT
TO BE AN ACTRESS.

I BET WE WON'T EVEN STOP
IN LAS VEGAS, WILL WE?

AH, NOW, THAT'S
WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU.

YOU SAID YOU HAD
A NUMBER ON HIM.

I SAID WE WOULD
LOOK HIM UP, OK?

WHEN YOU
WERE 4 YEARS OLD,

YOUR FATHER LEFT YOU JUST
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

SO, WHAT?
YOU LEFT MY STEPFATHER

IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE AFTERNOON.

I MISS TED.

NOBODY MISSES TED.
HE'S BORING.

THEN WHY'D YOU MARRY HIM?

THAT'S NONE
OF YOUR BUSINESS.

BESIDES, HE WAS RUNNING
AROUND WITH OTHER WOMEN.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.
YOU MADE THAT UP.

YOU WANTED HIM TO
SO YOU COULD CATCH HIM

AND TAKE HIM TO COURT
AND GET ALL HIS MONEY.

YOU LITTLE SNOOP.

AND TED IS NOT A HOMOSEXUAL.

I NEVER SAID THAT.

YES, YOU DID.

OH, NO, I DID NOT.

OH, YES, YOU DID.

MAYBE I INFERRED IT,
BUT I NEVER SAID IT.

"LIGHT IN THE LOAFERS"

IS NOT EXACTLY
THE SAME THING.

ALL RIGHT, MOTHER.

TED SAID HE LOVES YOU,

AND THAT HE WAS WORRIED THAT
YOU WERE SEEING OTHER PEOPLE,

WHICH YOU PROBABLY WERE.

ALL RIGHT, THAT IS IT.
I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU.

IF YOU MISS TED SO MUCH,
YOU GO FIND TED.

GO ON, GET OUT OF THE CAR.
OUT! O-U-T, OUT!

YOU SAID WE'D SEE
BUFFALO IN NEBRASKA.

THERE WERE NO BUFFALO.

TOUGH SHIT!
GET OUT OF THE CAR!

TED IS GOING TO BE AN
ICE SKATING INSTRUCTOR

FOR THE REST
OF HIS LIFE.

YOUR COUSIN BENNY IS GOING
TO BE A GARAGE MECHANIC.

LOLLY IS NEVER
GOING TO LEAVE THE BANK.

YOUR COUSIN HAL'S
ALREADY DRINKING LIQUOR.

AND SYLVIA AND THE BABY
CAN BARELY BREATHE.

THEY'RE GONNA SUFFOCATE
BACK THERE,

BUT I NOW HAVE
A JOB TEACHING

IN THE LOS ANGELES
SCHOOL SYSTEM.

I HAVE AN M.A.
IN EARLY EDUCATION

WHICH I HAVE
JUST THROWN AWAY

IN THAT DINK JUNIOR
HIGH SCHOOL BACK THERE,

SO YOU FORGET
ABOUT THE BUFFALO

AND THE GODDAMN INDIANS.

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL GIRL
WITH GREAT POTENTIAL.

I'M NOT GONNA SEE YOUR
FUTURE AS SOME NOTHING GIRL

IN A NOTHING FACTORY
IN A NOTHING TOWN.

YOU ARE 14 YEARS OLD,

YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD
ENOUGH TO EAT,

YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD
A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD,

AND IF YOU STICK WITH
ME, YOU ALWAYS WILL,

BECAUSE
I AM YOUR MOTHER,

AND I KNOW
WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU

BECAUSE THAT IS MY JOB.

PLUS YOU'RE GONNA GO TO
SCHOOL IN BEVERLY HILLS,

WHICH IS ONLY
THE BEST SCHOOL DISTRICT

IN THE UNITED STATES.

AND YOU'LL BE
A CHILD ACTOR

WHILE YOU'RE
STILL A CHILD.

YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB IN
THE LOS ANGELES SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I WILL HAVE.

I HAVE AN INTERVIEW
AND A GREAT OUTFIT.

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

[MUMBLES]

EXCUSE ME.

I DON'T KNOW.

GREAT. SO AM I.

SO...

WILL YOU LOOK
AT THAT CAR?

IS THAT THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILE

YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

NO. I HATE THAT CAR.
I MISS THE PLYMOUTH.

BABY, NOBODY MISSES
THE PLYMOUTH.

IT'S YOUR COLOR.

YEAH, IT IS, ISN'T IT?

OH, LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

Man:
HOW DOES IT FEEL?

SUBLIME.

MOM, WE CAN'T
AFFORD THIS CAR.

WE HAVE SOME MONEY
IN SAVINGS,

AND I CAN DIP INTO THE
TEACHERS' RETIREMENT FUND.

THIS CAR DOES NOT BELONG
IN BAY CITY,

AND NEITHER DO WE.

[LAUGHS]

WE'RE GOING TO DRIVE
TO BEVERLY HILLS

IN THIS CAR.

Ann: MOM, THIS PLACE
LOOKS EXPENSIVE.

Adele: I'LL WORRY
ABOUT THAT, OK?

NOW THAT WE'RE
IN BEVERLY HILLS,

MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHANGE
YOUR NAME TO HEATHER.

MMM, IT SMELLS SO NICE HERE.

HOW MUCH IS THE ROOM?

IT'S 1,200.

A NIGHT?

YES.

I DON'T KNOW
THAT IT'S LARGE ENOUGH.

DO YOU HAVE ANY VILLAS?

THERE ARE NO VILLAS
AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.

MOM, I'M TIRED.

WHERE ARE WE GONNA
SLEEP TONIGHT?

[SIRENS APPROACHING]

Adele: SWEET PEA,

YOU ARE JUST AS PRETTY
AS THESE GIRLS ON TV.

IN FACT,
I THINK YOU'RE PRETTIER.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

SWEETIE,
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

'CAUSE YOU'VE BEEN IN
THERE FOR OVER AN HOUR.

OK, WELL...

I'M GONNA GO
TO SLEEP NOW.

AND I THINK MAYBE
YOU SHOULD SOON,

BECAUSE YOU NEED
YOUR BEAUTY REST, OK?

OK. GOOD NIGHT.

Ann: I MISS EVERYONE
IN BAY CITY SO MUCH.

I DON'T KNOW HOW
I'M GOING TO SURVIVE

WITHOUT MY COUSIN BENNY.

AND MY BEST FRIEND,

GOOD LITTLE MARY.

SERIOUS MARY, BENNY, AND I.

WE WERE INSEPARABLE.

Adele: BENNY!

I MADE THIS FOR YOU.

SAY GOOD-BYE
TO YOUR COUSIN!

IT'S TIN AND PAINTED
ON ONE SIDE WITH GOLD DUST.

NOT REAL GOLD DUST.

ANN!

WE'RE READY TO GO!

WHERE DO YOU WANT THE COOKIES
AND THE SANDWICHES?

OH, MOM, THANKS.
I'LL TAKE THEM.

YOU DIDN'T GIVE HER ALL
THE COOKIES, DID YOU, LILLIAN?

DON'T FORGET TO CALL
US FROM THE ROAD.

YOU'RE GONNA COME VISIT.

I'M GONNA FIND AN APARTMENT
THAT'S GOT 3 BEDROOMS.

SHE DOESN'T EVEN HAVE
A PLACE TO LIVE.

STOP WORRYING
ABOUT IT, MOM.

IF YOU KNEW FOR SURE
THERE WAS A JOB OUT THERE...

SHE'S GOT
THE SCHOOL JOB.

OH, SHE HAS
NO SUCH THING.

SHE TALKED TO SOMEBODY
ON THE TELEPHONE.

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA START
HAVING SOME FAITH IN ME?

WHEN YOU BEGIN
TO SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE.

DON'T TAKE ANY WOODEN
NICKELS, ADELE.

RIGHT, JIMMY.

OK, THANKS.

SORRY, TED.

I'LL WRITE.

ANN, COME ON!
I'M GONNA LEAVE WITHOUT YOU!

BENNY!

Jimmy: BEN!

I HOPE YOU DESTROYED
THOSE PICTURES

YOU TOOK OF ME
IN MY UNDERWEAR.

I DID, MARY, I PROMISE.

OK.

LET'S GO.
WE'LL CALL FROM THE ROAD.

I'LL MISS YOU,
TOO, GRANDMA.

TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELF.

ANN, HERE.
JUST IN CASE YOU FIND

A SKATING RINK
OUT THERE.

THANKS, TED.

I LOVE YOU. YOU'RE THE BEST
STEPDAD A GIRL COULD HAVE.

I THOUGHT
I MIGHT HELP YOU.

I'M GAIL LETTERFINE.

WESTSIDE REALTY.

I'M ADELE AUGUST.
THIS IS MY DAUGHTER ANN.

HI.

HI.

SHE'S NOT AWAKE. WE JUST
MOVED HERE FROM WISCONSIN.

WISCONSIN?

I DON'T KNOW ANYONE
FROM WISCONSIN.

I'M AWAKE.

YOU LIVE
IN BEVERLY HILLS?

NO. I LIVE IN SANTA MONICA.
FORMERLY FROM BEL AIR.

FORMERLY BRENTWOOD.

I'VE HAD A LOT OF
FORMERLYS IN MY LIFE.

I'M FINE NOW.
I'M SINGLE, I'M FREE,

AND I LOVE IT.

MOST OF THE TIME.
YEAH.

EXCUSE ME.

SHE WANTS TO BE
AN ACTRESS.

DON'T THEY ALL?

[LINE RINGS]

JUST TELL HER IT'S A COLLECT
CALL FROM HER GRANDDAUGHTER ANN.

JUST ONE MOMENT.

TELL HER
I'LL PAY HER BACK.

LOOK WHAT WE HAVE
ALONG BEVERLY VISTA.

BEVERLY HILLS ADJACENT.

THAT'S NOT THE POSH
PART OF BEVERLY HILLS,

BUT IT IS STILL WITHIN
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.

[LINE RINGS]

[RING]

SWEET PEA, WHAT YOU DOING?
ARE YOU OK?

MM-HMM.

GAIL FOUND SOMETHING FOR US.
WHAT A WOMAN.

SHE IS RAISING
3 TEENAGERS BY HERSELF.

HUSBAND RAN OFF
WITH AN ACCOUNTANT,

AND SHE CAN'T GET
A DIME OUT OF HIM.

COME WITH ME WHILE I PEE.
COME ON. ALSO...

SHE DIDN'T SAY SO,
BUT...

[WHISPERING]
I think she has a glass eye.

You know...

IT MAKES SOMEBODY INTERESTING.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
INTERESTING IN A MYSTERIOUS WAY.

INTERESTING IN A KIND OF A...

Man: HEY,
YOU WANT A RIDE?

ANN, THERE YOU ARE.
YOUR MOM'S LOOKING FOR YOU.

I SAW HER.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT WE
MIGHT HAVE FOUND A PLACE.

HONEY, I KNOW THAT IT'S HARD
AT FIRST, MAKING CHANGES,

BUT YOU HAVE
TO GET USED TO IT.

LIFE IS FULL OF THEM.

ANN, WHERE DID YOU GO?

I WAS IN THERE TALKING
AND TALKING TO YOU.

I COME OUT HERE
AND YOU'RE GONE.

* YOUR LOVE *

* IS BETTER THAN ICE CREAM *

* BETTER THAN ANYTHING ELSE
THAT I'VE TRIED *

* YOUR LOVE *

* IS BETTER THAN ICE CREAM *

* BUT EVERYONE HERE
KNOWS HOW TO CRY *

* IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN *

* IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN *

YOU DIDN'T GET THE JOB.

IT'S IN THE BAG, BABY.

COME HERE, YOU.

SERIOUS?

YES!

I HATE MY HAIR.

IT'S ONE OF YOUR
STRONGEST ASSETS.

I'M GONNA CUT IT OFF.

OVER MY DEAD BODY.

OK.

[LAUGHS]

OK.
LET'S GO.

CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?

THEY LOOK LIKE THEY'RE
GOING TO THE BEACH.

THE INTELLIGENT GIRLS
ARE INSIDE.

BAB--

I HATE YOU.

WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER,
SWEETIE. GOOD LUCK.

HOW ABOUT GOOD LUCK FOR ME?

HOW DO I L-LOOK?

[KIDS TALKING AND LAUGHING]

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[KIDS SHOUTING]

NOT EXACTLY BAY CITY,

BUT YOU GET USED TO IT.

MMM. IS THAT--DID THEY
THROW OUT THAT FURNITURE?

IS THAT GARBAGE?

MM-HMM.

UNBELIEVABLE.

HONEY, DON'T
SCRATCH THE CAR.

Ann: ON OUR DAYS OFF
WE WOULD DRIVE TO RELAX.

WE DROVE JUST ANYWHERE.

MY MOTHER WAS IN AWE
OF THE HOMES

AND THE PALM TREES

AND REAL MOVIE STARS
ON PUBLIC SIDEWALKS.

SHE WAS IN LOVE.

IN LOVE WITH BEVERLY HILLS.

OH, I LIKE THAT ONE.

OVER THERE, WITH
THE CIRCULAR DRIVEWAY.

I WANT THE ROOM IN THE CORNER.
I CAN CLIMB OUT THAT WINDOW.

I'LL TAKE THE ONE
IN THE BACK,

OVERLOOKING THE POOL.

[GASPS]

[LAUGHING]

MMM. THAT ONE'S
A BEAUTY,

WITH THE CUTE
BLUE SHUTTERS.

OH, LOOK
AT THIS HOUSE.

THIS IS THE HOUSE
I WANT.

THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.
COME ON.

MOM, IT'S BY
APPOINTMENT ONLY.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

IT SAYS, "DO NOT
DISTURB OCCUPANTS."

JUST SMILE.
WE'LL BE FINE. IT'S OK.

Realtor: I APPRECIATE IT.
PLEASE THINK ABOUT IT.

YOU'RE THE REALTOR.

HI.
HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

LOOK AT THIS SWEET--
OH, HE GAVE ME A KISS.

THIS IS CALLIE.

HI, CALLIE. AND YOU
MUST BE THE OWNER.

MY BABY.
YES, I AM.

WELL, I'M
ADELE AUGUST. HELLO.

AND THIS IS MY BABY,
HEATHER.

HI.

Realtor: EXCUSE ME.
CAN I HELP YOU?

I KNOW WE SHOULD
HAVE AN APPOINTMENT,

BUT MY HUSBAND WILL BE
PRACTICING MEDICINE AT UCLA.

THAT'S JUST A FEW
MINUTES FROM HERE.

EXACTLY, SO WE
WERE DRIVING BY,

AND WE JUST HAD TO STOP.

I WOULD BE SO GRATEFUL

IF YOU WOULD LET US
SEE THE HOUSE.

DO YOU MIND?

NOT AT ALL.
PLEASE, COME IN.

HERE'S MY CARD.

HERE'S A SETUP
ON THE PROPERTY.

THANK YOU.

THE HOUSE WAS BUILT
ORIGINALLY IN THE 1920s,

SO IT MAINTAINS
ALL ITS ORIGINAL INTEGRITY.

YOU ALSO HAVE A WOOD-BURNING
FIREPLACE HERE.

THERE ARE 7
IN THE ENTIRE HOUSE.

THERE IS SO MUCH LIGHT.
LOOK AT THIS LIGHT.

Owner: IT'S A VERY
HAPPY, HAPPY HOUSE.

SO HAPPY,
ISN'T IT, HEATHER?

HAPPY.

AND HERE WE HAVE
A BEAUTIFUL BRIGHT BEDROOM.

AND YOU CAN SEE
THE POOL FROM HERE.

OH, IT'S A LOVELY
MASTER SUITE, ISN'T IT?

NO. THIS IS MY
DAUGHTER'S BEDROOM.

SHE'S AWAY
AT COLLEGE NOW.

OH. WHERE IS SHE GOING?

BACK EAST.
PRINCETON, ACTUALLY.

I WANT TO GO
TO COLLEGE BACK EAST.

YOU MUST MISS HER TERRIBLY.

BUT WE'RE
SO VERY PROUD.

WELL, DADDY WILL
BE HERE NEXT WEEK.

I REALLY WANT HIM
TO SEE THIS HOUSE.

LET ME SHOW YOU THE MASTER
BEDROOM RIGHT NOW.

IT'S GOT A GREAT HIS-AND-HER
WALK-IN CLOSET.

IT ALSO HAS A FANTASTIC
JACUZZI TUB.

Adele:
I LOVE A JACUZZI.

[LINE RINGS]

[RING]

Benny: HELLO.

[QUIETLY]
WHAT'S UP, PERVERT?

WHO IS THIS?

IT'S HOT STUFF.

ANN.

HEY, BENNY.

WHERE ARE YOU?

MAKING A HIGHLY ILLEGAL PHONE
CALL IN SOMEBODY'S BEDROOM.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING RIGHT NOW?

HAUSER'S TAKING US
TO THE PARK.

HE GOT THAT NEW TRUCK.

WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING?

WHERE ARE YOU?

HOW'S GRANDMA?

FINE. WHAT DID YOU MEAN
YOU'RE IN SOMEONE'S BEDROOM?

I'LL TELL YOU WHEN I
WRITE YOU ANOTHER LETTER.

YOU GET MY LAST ONE?

YEAH, YEAH,
I GOT 'EM ALL.

I LIKE THE ONE WHERE SHE
KICKED YOU OUT OF THE CAR.

SHE REALLY DID THAT?

SHE'S CRAZY.
SHE STILL IS.

I THINK I MIGHT KILL HER
IN HER SLEEP.

Adele: HEATHER.

I HAVE TO GO.

HEATHER ANN.

OH, THAT WAS SO MUCH
FUN, WASN'T IT?

WHY'D YOU TELL THAT LADY
THAT WE'D BUY THE HOUSE?

I SAID WE MIGHT
BUY THE HOUSE.

THAT MY FATHER'S COMING,
THAT HE'S A DOCTOR.

CARDIOLOGIST.

I COULDN'T BELIEVE YOU.

WHAT WERE YOU DOING

UP IN THE DAUGHTER'S
ROOM ALL THAT TIME?

CALLING BENNY.

WHAT?

ANN!

I HAD TO TELL HER
THAT YOUR FATHER

THE DOCTOR WAS COMING
BECAUSE A WOMAN LIKE THAT

WHO GETS ALL OF HER
MONEY FROM HER HUSBAND,

SHE'S NOT GONNA BELIEVE

A WOMAN LIKE ME CAN AFFORD
A HOUSE LIKE THAT.

A WOMAN LIKE YOU CAN'T
AFFORD A HOUSE LIKE THAT.

YOU CAN'T EVEN AFFORD
THE BATHROOM TO THAT HOUSE.

* BE OPTIMISTIC *

* DON'T YOU BE
A GRUMPY *

* WHEN THE ROAD
GETS BUMPY *

* JUST SMILE,
SMILE, SMILE *

* AND BE HAPPY *

MORNING, ADELE.

MORNING, GEORGE.

GRAND COOLIE DAM.
EVER BEEN THERE, ADELE?

NOPE.

HOOVER DAM?

NO.

I'M NOT REALLY
INTO DAMS.

Girl:
I AM GONNA GET A LAWYER

AND SUE HER
FOR INVASION OF PRIVACY,

SO GET YOUR NOSE
OUT OF MY DIARY, MOTHER.

THAT'S SO COOL.
I'D NEVER THINK OF THAT.

DID SHE SAY
ANYTHING?

SHE PLAYED DUMB,
BUT SHE NEVER DID IT AGAIN.

I WISH MY PARENTS
WOULD JUST LEAVE ME ALONE.

I LOVE BEING ALONE.

I CAN'T WAIT FOR
THE HOUSE TO BE EMPTY.

HI.

HEY, PETER.

YOU RUN GOOD.
GOT GOOD FORM.

YEAH.

THERE'S NOT A CLOUD
IN THE SKY TODAY, HUH?

HEY, YOU EVER READ
T.S. ELIOT?

WHAT?

4 QUARTETS.
IT'S REALLY GOOD.

WHY DO YOU RUN
WITH A BOOK?

I DON'T KNOW.
BALANCE, I GUESS.

George:
HERE'S THE KARIBA DAM.

IT IMPOUNDS
THE ZAMBEZI RIVER,

FORMS KARIBA LAKE.

IT'S NICE.
HMM.

I WENT THERE.

AFTER COLLEGE. I PAINTED
A PICTURE OF IT.

YOU PAINTED PICTURES
OF DAMS?

MM-HMM.

THAT WAS MY DREAM--
TO TRAVEL THE WORLD

AND PAINT PICTURES.

HMM.
WHAT HAPPENED?

HMM.
I DON'T KNOW.

ONE DAMN THING
LED TO ANOTHER DAMN THING.

HA HA!

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

I BECAME
A HISTORY TEACHER.

BUT ONE OF
THESE DAYS, I'LL...

ONE OF THESE DAYS--

OH, MY GOD.
GET AWAY FROM MY CAR!

OH, MY GOD,
LOOK WHAT HE'S DOING!

HEY.
HEY, HEY, HEY!

NO! STOP IT!

OH, MY GOD. LOOK
HOW DEEP THIS SCRATCH--

LOOK WHAT HE DID TO MY CAR.

MOM, IT'S
JUST A SCRATCH.

JUST A SCRATCH?

DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH
IT'S GOING TO COST

TO FIX "JUST A SCRATCH"?

OH, I CAN'T WORK
AT THIS SCHOOL ANYMORE.

I CAN'T TALK TO YOU
ANYMORE, EITHER!

NO SYMPATHY.

THE TILES
ARE ALL CRACKED...

AND CHIPPED.

I'M SINKING HERE,

AND I'M THE ONE
THAT HAS TO KEEP US AFLOAT.

EVERY TIME I THINK
I'M TRYING SO HARD,

IT'S GETTING BETTER,

AND WE'RE STARTING
TO GET SOMEWHERE,

JUST, EVERYTHING
FALLS APART.

AAH! JESUS!

NOTHING WORKS
IN THIS APARTMENT!

MOM?
AAH!

IT'S JUST A SCRATCH
ON THE CAR.

MAYBE IF YOU GOT
YOURSELF

A LITTLE
AFTER-SCHOOL JOB,

YOU'D KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.

PEOPLE YOUR AGE
HAVE NO IDEA

HOW MUCH THINGS COST,
HOW TO MANAGE MONEY.

WHAT IS THAT NOW?

YOU DIDN'T PAY THE BILL
AGAIN, DID YOU?

I DID PAY THE BILL!
I DID PAY IT!

WELL, MAYBE I WON'T EVEN
PAY THE BILL AGAIN.

MAYBE WE'LL JUST...

HA!
WE COULD LIVE...

IN THE DARK

LIKE LITTLE...

BEARS IN A CAVE,
HUH, POOH BEAR?

HMM?

JUST...

OK, LET'S GO TO DENNY'S.

ANN?

ANN, WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M GOING TO BED.

[DOOR SLAMS]

I REALLY THOUGHT
I PAID THAT BILL.

I REALLY THINK
I DID PAY IT.

[CRYING]

SO, I LOVE YOU AND
SAY HI TO BENNY FOR ME

AND UNCLE JIMMY
AND AUNT CAROL AND...

OK, I LOVE YOU.
LOTS OF KISSES.

[KISSES]
BYE.

HI, MOM.

HOW ARE Y'ALL DOING?

WHAT ISN'T FAIR?

WELL, I PUT HER ON
BECAUSE WHAT'S FAIR

IS FOR YOUR GRANDDAUGHTER
TO HAVE A DECENT HOME

TO LIVE IN,
AND WE CAN'T DO THAT

UNLESS WE HAVE SOME CASH
FOR A DOWN PAYMENT.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU

IS SOME HELP.

WELL...

SELL MY LAND, THAT'S HOW.

IT'S THE LAND THAT DADDY--

SHE HUNG UP.

GRANDMA HUNG UP ON YOU?

YEAH.

[HANGS UP]

LET'S GET DRESSED UP
AND GO OUT TO DINNER.

WHAT?

YOU LOVE THAT LITTLE
FRENCH RESTAURANT.

THAT'S--THAT'S
JUST WHAT WE NEED.

WE NEED A BED FOR ME.
WE NEED A DESK.

WE NEED SHEETS.
WE NEED TOWELS.

WE DON'T NEED
TO GO OUT TO EAT

TO A FRENCH RESTAURANT.

OH, HONEY.

MY DADDY
ALWAYS USED TO SAY,

"WHEN LIFE GETS ROUGH

"AND YOU ONLY HAVE A DIME
IN YOUR POCKET,

GO GET YOUR SHOES SHINED."

GET DRESSED.

HMM.

SEEMS THEY RAISED
THEIR PRICES.

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

WHY DON'T THE TWO--

GOOD AFTERNOON. WOULD YOU
LIKE TO HEAR OUR SPECIALS?

I DON'T THINK SO.
WE KNOW WHAT WE WANT.

I'D LIKE TO HEAR
THE SPECIALS.

THANK YOU.

OK. WE HAVE
THE VEAL ST. JACQUES

AND A LOVELY
COQ AU VIN--

I THINK WE'LL HAVE
2 SMALL GARDEN SALADS

AND SHARE
THE VEAL ST. JACQUES.

DON'T YOU THINK, HONEY?

YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T
REALLY WANT TO SHARE.

I'M KIND OF
HUNGRY, SO...

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE
THE VEAL ST. JACQUES,

AND I'LL HAVE THE DUCK
L'ORANGE, PLEASE.

AND WOULD YOU LIKE
AN APPETIZER?

I DON'T THINK SO.
YES.

I'LL HAVE THE SHRIMP

IN THE GARLIC SAUCE.

Waitress:
AND ANYTHING TO DRINK?

JUST WATER.

BOTTLED.
A BIG BOTTLE,

PLEASE. THANKS.

OK.
THANK YOU.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
I'M REALLY HUNGRY,

AND IT'S NOT LIKE
WE'RE AT DENNY'S,

SO IF SOMEONE COMES IN

AND SEES ME EATING
DUCK L'ORANGE,

WHO KNOWS WHAT EFFECT
IT'LL HAVE ON MY LIFE.

SIT UP STRAIGHT.

YOU'RE SLOUCHING.

Ann: I TOOK OUT AN AD
IN THE NEWSPAPER ONCE--

"15-YEAR-OLD SEEKS HOME--"

"NEAT, PRETTY,
GOOD STUDENT."

I GOT 79 REPLIES.

I NEVER OPENED THEM.

I WAS AFRAID THE TEMPTATION
WOULD BE TOO GREAT.

PASSION.

Ann: IT WAS OUR FIRST
CHRISTMAS AWAY FROM HOME.

DO YOU CUSTOMIZE
SCENTS?

NO? OH,
THAT'S A SHAME.

YOU SHOULD DO THAT.

MY MOTHER PAID
ENOUGH OF OUR BILLS

SO THAT WE COULD BUY
PRESENTS FOR EVERYONE.

Ann:
THAT'S PRETTY CUTE.

LAVENDER.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

UHH.

YEAH?
MMM.

WE DIDN'T BUY TOO MUCH,

CONSIDERING
I LOVE THAT STORE.

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO GET BENNY.

WHAT DID YOU GET ME?

COME ON, YOU GOT ME
SOMETHING.

I DIDN'T GET YOU
ANYTHING.

OH, YES, YOU DID.

WHAT'D YOU GET ME?

I GOT YOU LOTS. I'M
DYING TO SHOW IT TO YOU.

NO. DON'T SHOW ME.

ANN, HI.

ISN'T IT OBSCENE,
ALL THIS MONEY BEING SPENT?

YEAH.
HI.HI.

I'M JANICE PEARLMAN.
I'M IN ANN'S HOMEROOM.

I'M ANN'S MOTHER.

SHE'S MY MOTHER.

HI.

YOU--YOU LOOK ALIKE,
YOU TWO.

NO.
OH, THANKS.

NO, WE DON'T.
I LOOK LIKE MY DAD.

JUST HIS CHIN.

I LIKE YOUR CHIN.
I DO.

ANYWAY, LISTEN,
I GOT TO GO,

BECAUSE MY MOTHER'S
WAITING OVER THERE,

BUT CHRISTMAS DAY, WE'RE
HAVING A PARTY AT THE HOUSE

FROM 4:00 TO 8:00.

WILL YOU COME,
BOTH OF YOU?

IT'S OUR ANNUAL THING.

I--THANKS.
THAT'S SWEET.

REALLY?
WELL, PLEASE.

I'LL TELL YOU MORE AT SCHOOL.
EVERYBODY'S COMING, THOUGH.

SEE YOU LATER.
BYE.

HI.

Ann: EVERYBODY
LIKES HER.

SHE'S ON
STUDENT COUNCIL,

AND HER BROTHER'S
THE EDITOR

OF THE SCHOOL NEWSPAPER.

WHAT DOES
HER FATHER DO?

I THINK HE'S A DOCTOR.

HUH. WELL,
IT MIGHT BE FUN.

YOU WANT TO GO?

DO YOU WANT ME TO GO?

I GUESS IT'LL
GIVE US A CHANCE

TO KIND OF
SHOW OURSELVES OFF,

AND THE CAR
IS LOOKING GREAT AGAIN.

GREAT.

HER MOM LOOKED...

VERY ELEGANT.

YOU'RE ELEGANT, MOM.

WE BOTH ARE.

WE'VE GOT TASTE, HUH?

THAT'S ONE THING--PEOPLE
LOOK AT US, AND THEY SAY,

"LOOK AT THAT GREAT-LOOKING
MOTHER AND DAUGHTER."

[SIGHS]

WHERE DO THEY LIVE?

MOM, WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS?

WHICH ONE IS IT, HONEY?
POINT IT OUT.

THAT ONE.

NOW LET'S GO HOME.

OH, MY GOD.

IT GOES ALL THE WAY
AROUND THE BLOCK.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Ann: YEAH. WE'RE GOING
TO A PARTY TONIGHT.

YEAH. MOM AND I
ARE BOTH GOING.

DO YOU WANT TO TALK
TO HER AGAIN?

JUST SAY
MERRY CHRISTMAS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

MERRY CHRISTMAS
TO EVERYBODY.

I LOVE YOU. GIVE A BIG HUG
TO BENNY FOR ME.

OK. BYE-BYE.
LOVE YOU. BYE.

I'M GOING TO GO
GET DRESSED

AND TRY ON
MY NEW NECKLACE.

[BLOWS]

MOM, IT'S 4:00.

ARE YOU GOING
TO GET DRESSED?

IT TAKES YOU AN HOUR
TO GET READY. WE'RE--

THE PARTY'S GOING
TO BE OVER BY THEN.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOU WANTED TO GO.

HONEY, WHAT I WANT

IS TO GET ALL
OF THESE PINE NEEDLES

AND VACUUM
THOSE CLOSETS.

THEY'RE FILLED
WITH DUST.

AND MAYBE WASH
THE KITCHEN FLOOR,

BECAUSE I REALIZED,
SWEETHEART,

THAT THE THING THAT'S GOING
TO MAKE ME MOST HAPPY

IS TO JUST LOOK AROUND
THIS PLACE

AND SEE THAT IT IS
SPICK-AND-SPAN.

BUT IT'S THE ONE FUN THING
WE CAN DO FOR CHRISTMAS.

WELL, THEN,
YOU SHOULD GO.

YOU SHOULD
DEFINITELY GO.

I MEAN, ALL YOUR FRIENDS ARE
GOING TO BE THERE, RIGHT?

AND THAT BOY PETER--
IS THAT HIS NAME?

HE'LL BE THERE, RIGHT?

WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO?
IT'S CHRISTMAS.

OH, DON'T WORRY
ABOUT ME.

I'VE JUST GOT
A MILLION THINGS

THAT I'M GOING TO DO.

I WANT OUR FIRST
CHRISTMAS

IN LOS ANGELES
TO BE PERFECT.

AREN'T THINGS--AREN'T
THINGS BAD ENOUGH HERE?

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU'RE
DOING THIS TO ME.

[SIGHS]

YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M SORRY.

WANT ME TO
DRIVE YOU THERE?

WANT ME
TO DRIVE YOU? NO.

NO.
YEAH.

NO.
I CAN WALK.

ALL RIGHT,
WELL, THEN, GO.

GO AHEAD.

OTHERWISE, WE'RE JUST GOING
TO HANG AROUND HERE ALL DAY

TALKING ABOUT OUR SILLY
LITTLE LIVES, HUH?

OH, GOSH,
I JUST HAD THE...

STRONGEST MEMORY
OF MY FATHER.

I'M GOING TO GO.
I'M GOING TO BE LATE.

I'M SORRY THAT YOU NEVER
REALLY GOT TO KNOW

YOUR GRANDFATHER OR
YOUR FATHER, FOR THAT MATTER,

AND I KNOW IT MEANS
SOMETHING TO YOU

TO FIND YOUR FATHER,

SWEETIE.

I PROMISE.

WE WILL.

I'M GOING.
OK.

I'M GOING.

AND MAYBE WE CAN, UM...

WE'LL TALK ABOUT YOUR FATHER
WHEN YOU COME BACK.

I'LL BE HERE.
I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE.

I'LL WAIT.

[CRYING]

[DOG BARKING IN DISTANCE]

* I WISH FOR A PLACE *

* WHERE THE EARTH
DOESN'T SHAKE *

* AND IF THE EARTH
WON'T BE STILL *

* THEN YOU AND I WILL *

[FOOTSTEPS]

* MMM *

* MMM *

I'M SORRY.

I THOUGHT I COULD GO,
BUT...

I COULDN'T.

YOU KNOW WHAT WE NEED?

SOME SUGAR IN OUR BLOOD.

YOU WANT TO GET
SOME ICE CREAM?

I DON'T WANT ICE CREAM.

SURE, YOU DO.

IS THAT
WHAT I WANT, MOM?

IT WOULD CHEER US UP.

OK, MOTHER,
LET'S GET OUR SUGAR.

AND THEY'VE GOT
A NEW FLAVOR.

GREAT.

LET'S GO.

I'LL GET YOUR JACKET.

[SIGHS]

JUST ONE LITTLE--

Man: NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
WE CLOSE EARLY TODAY.

NOTHING?
IT'S CHRISTMAS.

AY.

CHRISTMAS.

OH, MY GOD.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, OFFICER.

YOU'RE NOT WORKING
TODAY, ARE YOU?

YOU SEE THAT
RED CURB, MA'AM?

SEE THAT
"NO STOPPING" SIGN?

OH. OH.

GIVE ME YOUR DRIVER'S
LICENSE, PLEASE.

I'M SO SORRY.
I HAD NO IDEA.

DID YOU SEE--

I WAS JUST HERE
TO GET HER AN ICE CREAM.

SHE NEEDED
AN ICE CREAM.

DON'T BLAME IT ON ME.

I'M JUST EXPLAINING
TO THE OFFICER, SWEETHEART.

I HATE ITWHAT?
WHEN YOU DO THIS.

YOU ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME.
YOU ALWAYS--

I WAS EXPLAINING TO HIM IT'S
OUR CHRISTMAS TRADITION--

I DIDN'T EVEN WANT ICE CREAM.
SHE WANTED ICE CREAM.

ANN, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

SHE'LL BE BACK.

EXCUSE ME.
SHE WON'T BE BACK.

HEY, HEY, HEY. YOU STAY
BY THE CAR, OK?

Adele:
ANN?

LADY, WAIT BY THE CAR!

ALL RIGHT.

ANN, COME HERE.

ANN.

WAIT.

IT WAS HER IDEA
TO PARK THERE.

I TOLD HER
NOT TO PARK THERE.

I DIDN'T EVEN WANT
ANY ICE CREAM.

YOUR MOTHER'S TRYING
TO BEAT A TICKET.

GIVE HER ONE. SHE ALREADY
HAS A DRAWER FULL OF THEM.

NOW, NOW.

DON'T TALK TO ME
LIKE A LITTLE GIRL.

I'M NOT A LITTLE GIRL.

YOU DON'T EVEN
UNDERSTAND.

I'M GOING TO LEAVE HER
ONE OF THESE DAYS.

I'M SURE YOU WILL,

BUT NOT TODAY.

WHY NOT TODAY?

WELL...

YOU SHOULD LEAVE HER
WHEN YOU'RE CALM...

WHEN YOU'RE RATIONAL.

YOU LEAVE HER WHEN YOU'RE
READY NOT TO COME BACK.

YOU UNDERSTAND?

YOU FROM WISCONSIN?

HOW DO YOU KNOW?

WELL, YOUR PLATES.

YOU LIVING HERE NOW?

YES.

HEY, ANN.

HEY, LADY...

I WANT YOU
TO REGISTER THAT CAR.

YES, SIR.

I WANT YOU TO GET
A CALIFORNIA DRIVER'S LICENSE.

FROM NOW ON, START PAYING
ATTENTION TO THE SIGNS.

YES, SIR.

I'M GOING TO BE ROLLING BY
IN ANOTHER 2 MINUTES.

I DON'T WANT TO SEE
THAT VEHICLE OUT THERE.

YES, SIR.

GOOD.

MERRY CHRISTMAS, ANN.

LET'S MOVE UP HERE.

DID HE JUST WINK AT YOU?

THAT'S AN UNUSUAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.

WHAT DID HE SAY TO YOU?

HE SAID NOT TO EVER
DO THAT TO ME AGAIN.

HE SAID THAT IF YOU DO,

HE'LL HAVE YOU
TAKEN OFF TO PRISON

AND LOCKED UP,

AND YOU'LL NEVER, EVER
SEE ME AGAIN,

AND YOU'LL HAVE TO EAT
ICE CREAM ON YOUR OWN.

YOU WENT TOO FAR WITH
THE ICE CREAM BUSINESS.

HE DID NOT SAY THAT.

OH, NO,OH, YES, HE DID.
HE DID NOT.

AND HE WANTS TO ADOPT ME.
HE FINDS ME VERY ATTRACTIVE.

THAT IS NOT FUNNY.

YOU DO NOT DO THIS AGAIN.

DON'T YOU
DO THIS AGAIN.

NO, DON'T YOU
DO THIS AGAIN.

NO, IT'S YOU.

LOOK...

I WAS JUST TRYING TO GET OUT
OF A PARKING TICKET.

WELL, YOU DIDN'T
GET ONE, DID YOU?

THANK YOU, ANN.
THANK YOU, ANN,

AND YOUR FIANCÉ WILL BE
BACK HERE IN 2 MINUTES

TO SEE IF
WE'VE MOVED THE CAR.

Ann: I WILL ALWAYS LOVE
THAT POLICEMAN.

THAT WAS ALL ME.

HE TOLD ME
WHAT I NEEDED TO KNOW.

I WILL ALWAYS CARRY
A SOFT SPOT

FOR THE LOS ANGELES
POLICE DEPARTMENT.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Ann: I WISH HE HAD
ADOPTED ME.

GRANDMA TOLD ME
IN A LETTER

THAT MY FATHER
GOT REMARRIED

AND WAS LIVING IN RENO.

HOW MANY HISHAM BADIRS
COULD THERE BE IN RENO?

HI. DO YOU HAVE
A NUMBER FOR...

FOR A MR. HISHAM BADIR,
PLEASE?

B-A-D-I-R.

RESIDENCE.

H-I-S-H-A-M.

THANK YOU.

OK. THANK YOU.

BYE.

Ann:
WHEN I WAS YOUNGER,

MY MOTHER ALWAYS HUMMED
ONE OF MY FATHER'S TUNES

BEFORE WE WENT TO SLEEP.

HE WROTE MY MOTHER
LOVE SONGS.

SOMETIMES, I WOULD
IMAGINE MY FATHER

SHOWING UP TO RESCUE ME.

HI, ANN.

HELLO, PETER.

YOU GOT THAT ISOSCELES
TRIANGLE THING STRAIGHT?

MM-HMM.

THAT BAFFLES ME.

HEY, I GOT A NEW TRUMPET.
YOU WANT TO SEE IT?

I'M WORKING, PETER.

RIGHT.
SORRY.

YOUR MOM'S
REALLY PRETTY.

I'LL TELL HER.

WHAT'S YOUR DAD DO?

HE'S A SONGWRITER.

REALLY?
I WRITE SOME SONGS.

YEAH. YOU WANT
TO HEAR ONE?

NOT NOW, PETER.

YOU WANT TO FEEL
MY PULSE?

IT'S BEATING
REALLY FAST.

BA-BUM,

BA-BUM, BA-BUM, BA-BUM,

BA-BUM, BA-BUM.

REALLY FAST.

Adele:
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I HAVE BEEN TELLING YOU
FOR WEEKS

THAT THE TILES
ARE CHIPPED.

THERE'S NO WATER PRESSURE.

THE HANDLES ARE COMING OFF
OF THE CABINETS.

NOW, YOU DON'T HAVE A LIFE.
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?

CAN'T YOU--HEY!
I AM TALKING TO YOU.

HEY! HEY!

MOM, YOUR PANTS.

I CAN'T TALK TO YOU
LIKE THIS, MRS. AUGUST!

LISTEN,
I'M TELLING YOU THAT--

IT'S NOT JUST THAT
THE TILE IS CHIPPED.

THE CARPETS ARE FILTHY.
THEY'RE FILTHY.

I'VE GOT A FUNGUS ON MY FOOT
FROM THOSE CARPETS.

WHO WAS LIVING HERE BEFORE,
A HOCKEY TEAM?

I CANNOT LIVE LIKE THIS!

YOU CAN'T LIVE
LIKE THIS,

BUT YOU CAN LIVE IN
AN APARTMENT FOR 6 MONTHS

WITH JUST A MATTRESS
ON THE FLOOR?

OHH!

DAMN IT!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

OHH!

TURN IT DOWN!

GOD, I HATE
THIS PLACE!

I HATE MY JOB!
I HATE MY FOOT!

UHH!

YOU'RE NOT HAVING SEX
WITH ANYBODY, ARE YOU?

WHAT?

YOU KNOW.

NO, I DON'T KNOW.

WE HAVE TO
GET OUT OF HERE.

WE CAN'T.
WE HAVE A LEASE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, AM I
HAVING SEX WITH ANYONE?

Ann:
WE MOVED ANYWAY.

SHH, SHH, SHH.

OVER THE NEXT YEAR,

WE MOVED A LOT.

WE GOT USED TO IT.

OH, HONEY,
LET ME HELP YOU.

THAT'S A GIRL. OK.
IT'S APARTMENT NUMBER 8?

YEAH, NUMBER 8.
OHH.

Ann: AT LEAST THIS ONE
HAD FURNITURE,

THANKS TO MISS LETTERFINE.

THANK YOU.

Ann: GAIL AND MOM

[HUMS]

CHEERS.

IT'S SO COLORFUL.
LOOK.

Ann: MY MOM DRAGGED ME
TO AN AUDITION.

Woman:HELLO.
HI.

SHE WOULD NOT GIVE UP
ON HER FANTASY

OF ME BECOMING
AN ACTRESS.

WHAT'S YOUR SOCIAL
SECURITY NUMBER,

SWEETHEART?

Woman on TV:

DRAW YOUR NAVEL

AND WHEN SUMMER CAME,
WE WENT TO THE BEACH

AND FELT SORRY
FOR EVERYONE BACK HOME.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I THINK
RIGHT OVER THERE.

THERE'S NO PEOPLE

I WAS TELLING THE DOCTOR

BENNY WANTS TO SEE

[KISSES]

Adele: ANN?

I CAN'T FIND
MY DAUGHTER.

SHE WAS RIGHT HERE,
NOW I CAN'T FIND HER.

MOM?
WHERE DID YOU GO?

IT'S OK. I WAS GONE

UH-HUH.

I'VE THOUGHT OF YOU, TOO.

I'M SURPRISED THAT YOU

OH, I WROTE IT
ON THE FOOTBALL.

HA HA HA HA!

OH, THAT'S
SO NAUGHTY OF ME.

[LAUGHING]

OH.

OH, I'M SO SORRY.

SEPARATIONS
CAN BE SO PAINFUL.

OH, YEAH.

WHEN I BROKE UP
WITH MY EX,

I MEAN,
I COULD BARELY BREATHE.

MM-HMM.

YEAH. WELL, TONIGHT?

NO, TONIGHT'S NOT GOOD.

HOW ABOUT, UM...TOMORROW?

I'VE BEEN FEELING IT
ALL DAY.

IT HAS BEEN IN THE AIR
ALL WEEK.

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT TO WEAR,
WHAT TO WEAR,

WHAT TO WEAR.

FOCUS. SHOES.

IT WOULD BE TRAGIC TO BE
WEARING THE WRONG SHOES

WHEN YOU MEET
THE RIGHT GUY.

I'M GONNA GO SHOPPING.

I DON'T KNOW.

WHAT TIME IS IT?

5:00.

[MOANS]

MMM, WE JUST CLICKED.

WE JUST CLICKED,
SWEETIE.

LET'S GO WATCH
THE SUNRISE.

I NEED TO SLEEP.

I'M STARVING.

I HAVE TO GO
TO SCHOOL, MOM.

COME ON, I'LL TELL YOU
ALL ABOUT HIM.

IT'S THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT.

HE'S MORE
THAN JUST A DENTIST.

HE'S WRITING
A SCREENPLAY.

COME ON. HMM?
COME ON, SWEETIE.

JUST THIS ONCE.
COME ON.

[GROANING]

COME ON. COME ON.

COME ON.

THAT'S A GIRL.

DID HE SAY HE LOVED YOU?

WELL, GROWN-UPS

DON'T REALLY SAY THINGS
LIKE THAT RIGHT AWAY,

ESPECIALLY IF THEY'VE
BEEN MARRIED BEFORE.

YOU KNOW,
IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME.

BUT...HE DID
DO SOMETHING THAT...

GROWN-UPS DO SOMETIMES
THAT SHOWS...

THAT THEY REALLY
CARE ABOUT YOU.

WHAT DID HE DO?

WELL, HONEY,
IT'S SOMETHING THAT...

IT'S SOMETHING THAT...

ADULTS DO IN BED.

SOMETIMES.

I MEAN, NOT EVERYBODY.

I...ESPECIALLY
IN BAY CITY, BUT...

TED NEVER DID IT?

OH, PLEASE. I WAS LUCKY
IF I COULD GET TED

TO TAKE OFF HIS ICE SKATES.

DID MY FATHER DO IT?

LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT THIS
NOW, SWEETIE, OK?

IT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT...

JUST SHOWS THAT
YOU'RE REALLY SERIOUS.

YOU JUST DON'T...

YOU DON'T DO IT
WITH EVERY WOMAN.

REALLY?

MM-HMM.

OH, IT'S DIFFICULT FOR YOU
WHEN I FEEL SOMETHING,

ISN'T IT?

YOU KNOW, I HAD
THAT DREAM AGAIN.

YOU CUT OFF YOUR FEET,
AND YOU COULDN'T MOVE,

AND I COULDN'T GET YOU
TO LEAVE THE ROOM.

OH, SWEETIE,
I'M NEVER GONNA LEAVE YOU.

DON'T WORRY.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
CUT OFF MY FEET.

I UNDERSTAND.

I'M NOT A DOCTOR OF PSYCHOLOGY
FOR NOTHING.

YOU'RE NOT A DOCTOR
OF PSYCHOLOGY, MOM.

I WONDER WHAT TIME IT IS.

I REALLY WANT TO HEAR
HIS VOICE AGAIN.

OH, SWEETIE, WE MADE
THE RIGHT CHOICE, DIDN'T WE,

BY COMING HERE.

I KNOW THAT IT WAS HARD
IN THE BEGINNING,

BUT LOOK AT US.
LOOK AT US NOW, HUH?

AND LOOK AT THIS DAY,

LOOK AT THIS PLACE,
AND LOOK AT YOU, AND...

YOU'RE GONNA BE
GETTING BRACES SOON, AND...

WHEN YOUR TEETH
ARE STRAIGHT,

YOUR FACE IS GONNA BE
JUST PERFECT.

HMM?

[SIGHS]

[CLEARS THROAT]

GOOD MORNING.

IT'S ME.

ADELE.

I DIDN'T WAKE YOU,
DID I?

I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
THAT I'M STILL...

OH, I'M SORRY, SWEETIE.
YOU ARE SLEEPING.

GO BACK TO BED, YEAH.

I'LL--CALL ME LATER?

OK.

OH, AND, JOSH,

I'M REALLY LOOKING
FORWARD TO SUNDAY.

THE OPERA?

OH, I--I MUST HAVE
MISUNDERSTOOD.

I THOUGHT YOU SAID
YOU HAD TICKETS.

UH-HUH.

OH. NO, YOU DON'T
HAVE TO APOLOGIZE.

I--I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND.

YEAH. OK.

GO BACK TO BED.

CALL ME LATER.

OH, AND YOU KNOW WHAT?

THIS HAS BEEN SUPER SPECIAL
FOR ME, JOSH.

YEAH.

ALL RIGHT.

GO BACK TO BED.
TALK TO YOU LATER.

SWEET DREAMS.

I LOVE YOU.

HELLO?

HELLO?

[OPERA MUSIC PLAYING]

MOM? MOM!

WHAT DO YOU THINK,
DARLING?

IS IT TOO MUCH
FOR THE OPERA?

YOU'RE GOING
TO THE OPERA?

HA! YEAH!
GREAT!

[LAUGHING, SIGHS]

SO, WHEN ARE YOU GOING?

WELL, JOSH SAID
THAT THEY'RE PLAYING

A COUPLE OF TIMES
NEXT WEEK.

HE HASN'T TOLD ME
WHAT SPECIFIC DATE.

WHICH DO YOU THINK?

THE RED SCARF
OR THE WHITE SCARF?

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU HAVE TALKED TO HIM?
HE DID CALL, DIDN'T HE?

PUMPKIN,
HE'S GOING TO CALL.

HE SAID HE WOULD.
HE'LL CALL.

HE'S A BEVERLY HILLS
DENTIST. THEY'RE BUSY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

LOW-HEEL? HIGH-HEEL?
HMM?

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

OOH.

[MUSIC STOPS]

HELLO?

IS IT HIM?

OH, JESUS.

WHAT IS IT?

WHERE'S MAMA?

IS SHE
IN THE HOSPITAL?

IS CAROL WITH HER?

WELL--WELL, WE WILL.
OF COURSE WE WILL.

WHO WAS THAT?

IT WAS UNCLE JIMMY.

GRANDMA'S HAD A STROKE.

OH, NO.

IS SHE GONNA BE ALL RIGHT?

I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE.

OH, HONEY.

THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT.

BENNY WAS KILLED
RIDING HOME

IN JAY BROSEK'S TRUCK.

I'M SORRY.

* I WILL REMEMBER YOU *

* WILL YOU REMEMBER ME? *

* DON'T LET YOUR LIFE *

* PASS YOU BY *

* WEEP NOT FOR *

* THE MEMORIES *

* I WILL REMEMBER YOU *

* WILL YOU REMEMBER ME? *

* DON'T LET YOUR LIFE *

* PASS YOU BY *

* WEEP NOT FOR *

Ann: I FELT SO SAD.

I HAD LOST BENNY.

BUT I WAS ALSO
LOSING SOMETHING

THAT WAS ONCE THE ONLY PLACE
IN THE WORLD FOR ME.

* THE MEMORIES *

NOW THE STREETS
WEREN'T AS WIDE.

THE TREES SEEM LOWER...

AND THE HOUSE IS SMALLER.

YOU LOOK REAL GOOD.

BUT YOU'RE DIFFERENT.

HOW?

[CHUCKLES]

I DON'T KNOW.

JUST...

YOU SEEM DIFFERENT,
TOO, SOMEHOW.

I'M BIGGER.

I CAN SPEAK SOME GERMAN.

[SPEAKING GERMAN]

THAT'S "HOW'S
THE WEATHER TODAY?"

I LIKE THAT.

SO...

DO YOU THINK
YOU'LL COME BACK?

I DON'T KNOW.

NOW THAT I'M HERE...

I DON'T KNOW.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

I THINK IF YOU
WERE TO STAY,

SOONER OR LATER,

YOU'D BE
JUST LIKE YOUR MOM--

ALWAYS WANTING
TO GO AWAY.

Adele: I'M CALLING
LONG DISTANCE.

WOULD YOU TELL HIM
THAT I CALLED AGAIN?

WELL, HAS HE GOTTEN
MY MESSAGES?

MM-HMM.

OK. WELL, TELL HIM
THAT I'M OUT OF STATE.

TELL HIM AGAIN.

AND THAT, UM...

I'LL BE HOME ON SUNDAY.

THANK YOU.

Ann: MARY GIRLING
WAS RIGHT.

WE WERE DIFFERENT.

BUT SOME THINGS
ALWAYS STAYED THE SAME.

GOT A LIGHT?

YEAH.

THERE WAS ANGER
THAT HAD BEEN AROUND

AS FAR BACK
AS I CAN REMEMBER.

IT WAS GOD'S WAY.

SHUT UP
ABOUT GOD'S WAY.

JIMMY, DON'T.

I'M SORRY, REVEREND.

MAYBE WE SHOULD, UM,
START DINNER.

SIT DOWN, SYLVIA.
I'M GONNA BARBECUE.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU
START IT, HONEY?

Ann: MY UNCLE JIMMY
WAS READY TO EXPLODE.

[BABY CRYING]

I COULD FEEL IT COMING.

SO, ADELE...

DO YOU LIKE CALIFORNIA?

OH, YEAH.
VERY MUCH.

WHAT'S YOUR DAY LIKE,
ADELE, BACK THERE?

Carol: HAL.

WELL, I, UH...

WORK A FULL DAY AT SCHOOL
WITH MY STUDENTS.

AND, UH, WE LIVE
IN BEVERLY HILLS,

SO IT'S QUITE A COMMUTE.

I HAVE TO BE IN THE CAR
FOR AT LEAST 2 HOURS.

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING,
ADELE, WE ALL WORK.

THAT WASN'T NECESSARY.

ANYONE WANT
ANOTHER DRINK?

Carol:
JIM.

OF COURSE YOU WORK,
JIMMY,

BUT YOU'VE ALSO GOT
MOM'S HOUSE NOW AND THE RV.

COULD WE NOT HAVE
ANY FIGHTING TODAY?

YOUR LIFE IS NOT
THAT DIFFICULT, IS IT?

WELL, MAYBE IF I HAD HAD HALF
THE HELP FROM THE FAMILY

THAT YOU WERE LUCKY ENOUGH
TO COME INTO, JIMMY.

YOU COME HERE
A SECOND WITH ME.

I WANNA SHOW YOU
SOMETHING, ADELE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO
TALK TO HER LIKE THAT.

I WANT TO SHOW YOU
THE DEED

AND THE MORTGAGE
TO THE HOUSE

THAT I'VE BEEN PAYING ON,
THAT I'M STILL PAYING ON!

Carol: DAMN IT,
GET OUT OF THE HOUSE.

YOU KNOW WHO HELPED ME

WHEN I WAS BY MYSELF
WITH A CHILD,

ALL BY MYSELF?
NOBODY.

NOBODY HELPED ME,
JIMMY.

I'M GONNA SHOW YOU
THE DEED.

YOU TAKE A LOOK AT IT.
EITHER YOU LOOK AT IT

OR YOU SHUT YOUR DAMN MOUTH
FROM NOW ON.

NOBODY TALKS TO ME
LIKE THAT, JIMMY,

NOT EVEN YOU.

COME ON, TED, TAKE ME
TO THE HOLIDAY INN.

MAKE YOUR PHONE CALLS
THERE, TOO, NOT HERE.

I KNOW YOU NEED TO GET LAID
BACK IN BEVERLY HILLS,

BUT CAN'T YOU HOLD OFF
A LITTLE BIT--

ADELE. ADELE!

YOUR SISTER'S BOY
IS DEAD.

PLEASE, EVERYONE
JUST STOP THIS.

GOD DAMN IT.

BACK OFF.

COME ON.
WE'RE GOING.

ANN.

WE'RE GOING!

YOU CAN STAY HERE
IF YOU WANT, HONEY.

I'LL MAKE UP BENNY'S BED
FOR YOU.

BENNY WOULD LOVE THAT.

ANN.

[DOOR CLOSES]

NOT AGAIN, MOTHER.

GET ME THE TELEPHONE.

GET IT YOURSELF,
IF YOU EVEN PAID THE BILL.

PLEASE HAND ME
THE PHONE.

HE DOESN'T WANT TO TALK
TO YOU ANYMORE.

DON'T YOU GET IT, MOTHER?

AW.

JESUS CHRIST.

READY?

* YOU GOTTA SCRAPE ME
FROM THE FLOOR *

* EVERYTHING AROUND ME
IS CHANGING *

MOM? RISE AND SHINE.

IT'S TIME TO GET UP.

IT'S 7...7:40, MOM.

I HAVE TO GET TO SCHOOL.
YOU HAVE TO GET TO WORK.

COME ON.

YOU HAVE TO GET
OUT OF BED, MOM.

YOU'VE BEEN IN BED
ALL WEEKEND.

YOU CAN'T DO THIS.

OK. I'LL DRIVE.
I CAN DRIVE.

GET YOUR BIG ASS
OUT OF BED!

* BUT ISN'T THIS ALWAYS
WHAT I WANTED? *

* ISN'T IT JUST
WHAT I ALWAYS WANTED? *

GO AWAY.

[TIRES SCREECH]

[HORN HONKS]

[PEOPLE SHOUTING]

HEY, ADELE.

GEORGE,
THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!

PUT DOWN THE SIGN
AND GO. GO.

GO PAINT
A DAM SOMEWHERE!

NO MONEY, NO WORK!

NO MONEY, NO WORK!

NO MONEY, NO WORK!

NO MONEY, NO WORK!

NO MONEY, NO WORK!

NO MONEY, NO WORK!

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING]

[MUSIC STOPS PLAYING]

AH, GIRLS.

HI.
HI, MISS AUGUST.

HI.

YOU WENT SHOPPING?

I THOUGHT YOU HAD TO
PICKET OR SOMETHING.

I CAN'T WORK AT THAT SCHOOL.

I RESIGNED.

I'M A WOMAN OF LEISURE NOW.

LET'S CELEBRATE.

YOU CAN'T QUIT.
WE WON'T HAVE ANY MONEY.

HONEY, THEY DID NOT PAY ME
ENOUGH TO CARRY A SIGN.

THAT'S WHY YOU CARRY
THE SIGN, ISN'T IT?

YOU GET MORE MONEY
IF YOU CARRY THE SIGN.

NO.

THEY CARRY THE SIGN
BECAUSE...

THEY LIKE TO STRUGGLE.

SOME PEOPLE NEED
TO STRUGGLE.

STRUGGLE, STRUGGLE,
STRUGGLE--

THAT'S WHAT SOMEONE
TAUGHT THEM.

GET OUT THERE AND STRUGGLE--

THAT'S WHAT SOMEBODY
SAID TO THEM.

BUT WE...DID NOT COME
TO BEVERLY HILLS TO STRUGGLE.

WE NEED TO PAY THE RENT.

YUP, THAT'S TRUE.

SO MAYBE YOU'RE JUST GONNA HAVE
TO GET A LITTLE AFTER-SCHOOL JOB

INSTEAD OF BRINGING
THE GALS HOME

TO DO THEIR NAILS
ALL AFTERNOON.

WE'RE STUDYING
FOR A FRENCH TEST.

OH.

AND YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
QUIT YOUR JOB.

[SPEAKING FRENCH]

I AM YOUR MOTHER,
AM I NOT?

I GUESS SO.

WELL...
TA MÈRE HAS SOMETHING

SHE WOULD LIKE
TO SAY TO YOU EN ANGLAIS.

"AUDITIONS.

"CAUCASIAN, FEMALE.
12-16.

HOSTILE,
WITHDRAWN LONER."

YOU CAN HANDLE THAT,
CAN'T YOU, BABY?

WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

YOU COULD DO A LITTLE SCENE
FROM TERMS OF ENDEARMENT

OR CLUELESS!

YEAH.

I BET YOU ALL COULD
DO A SCENE FROM CLUELESS,

LIKE TOTALLY!

THAT WOULD BE COOL.

[LAUGHTER]

I DON'T KNOW
THOSE SCENES.

I DON'T WANT
TO BE AN ACTRESS.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ACT.
I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

I DON'T KNOW
WHY I'M HERE

AND NEITHER DO YOU.

AND WHAT WOULD YOU
HAVE RATHER DONE,

STAYED BACK HOME AND BEEN
ONE OF THOSE LITTLE GIRLS

WHO SITS LONGER
THAN THE OTHERS ON THE PORCH

STRAINING TO HEAR THE SOUNDS
OF THE TRUCKS ON THE HIGHWAY?

YOU'RE ACTING CRAZY
AGAIN.

ONE OF THOSE LITTLE GIRLS

WHO HAS THE NAMES
OF CITIES IN HER HEAD

BUT HAS NEVER BEEN TO ONE?

WHO DREAMS OF HOTELS
AND HAS NEVER SAT IN A LOBBY?

IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?

ANN, WE'RE GONNA GO.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'LL SEE YOU LATER,
OK?

I'LL CALL YOU,
ANN.

BYE,
MISS AUGUST.

CALL ME.

Adele: CIAO.

[DOOR CLOSES]

ALL RIGHT.

WHERE, WHERE IS IT?
WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO GO?

ALL RIGHT.

CIRCLED IT FOR YOU,
AND I CAN CALL THEM FOR YOU.

I'LL DO IT MYSELF.

THEY'RE GONNA WANT YOU
TO DO SOME IMPROV,

BUT IT SHOULD BE RELATED
TO THE MATERIAL, OK?

OK.

YES?

HELLO.
HI.

I'M HEATHER ANN AUGUST'S
MOTHER.

HI.
HI.

SO, UM, HAS SHE FINISHED
HER AUDITION?

OH, SHE'S IN THERE NOW.

SHE IS?
YEAH.

CAN I SEE?
CAN I WATCH HER?

NO.
WE CAN'T INTERRUPT.

JUST A LITTLE,
TINY BIT.

UH, EXCUSE ME?

SHE'D REALLY LIKE
FOR ME TO WATCH.

I'D RATHER YOU DIDN'T.

OK.
OK.

THANKS.

I NEED KAREN.

KAREN?

KAREN?

KAREN SCARBOROUGH?

Ann: MMM.

MMM.

WHAT A MAN.

WHAT A MEAL HE MADE OF ME

DURING THAT THING
THAT ADULTS DO IN BED.

NOT MANY MEN KNOW
HOW TO DO IT, BUT...

WHEN THEY DO IT...

IT MEANS THEY...

REALLY LOVE YOU.

THEY WOULDN'T JUST
DO IT TO ANY WOMAN.

IT MEANS THEY'LL BUY YOU
A BIG HOUSE

WITH BLUE SHUTTERS AND...

MAKE LIFE EASY FOR YOU.

HE'S GOING TO TAKE US
TO THE MUSIC CENTER.

THE OPERA.

I LOVE THE OPERA.

[WHEEZING LAUGH]

HE NEVER RETURNED MY CALL.

[SIGHS]

I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.

OH, GOD,
LIFE IS SO SHITTY.

THE WHOLE WORLD
IS SO SHITTY.

BEVERLY HILLS,
WHAT A BUMMER.

[TAPS PEN TWICE]

BUT...

SO WHAT?

LIKE MY DADDY
ALWAYS USED TO SAY...

* BE OPTIMISTIC *

* DON'T YOU BE
A GRUMPY *

* WHEN THE ROAD
GETS BUMPY *

* JUST SMILE, SMILE,
SMILE AND BE HAPPY *

* DON'T WEAR A LONG FACE *

* IT'S NEVER IN STYLE *

* BE OPTIMISTIC
AND SMILE *

[DOOR SLAMS]

MOM?

MOM?

I'M SORRY, BUT YOU
HAVE TO UNDERSTAND

I WAS JUST DOING
AN AUDITION.

IT JUST CAME OUT.
I DIDN'T PLAN IT.

I DIDN'T DO IT TO HURT
YOUR FEELINGS.

YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED
TO BE THERE.

I TOLD YOU NOT TO COME.

I DIDN'T EVEN WANT
TO GO TO THE AUDITION.

YOU EMBARRASSED ME
IN FRONT OF MY FRIENDS.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY.

IT JUST--IT JUST HAPPENED.

THEY WANTED ME TO--

NOBODY WOULD EVEN
KNOW IT WAS YOU.

I WAKE UP AND I DON'T
EVEN WANT TO BE HERE.

WHO WOULD WANT
TO BE WITH YOU?

YOU'RE JUST A CRAZY,
MIDDLE-AGED,

UNEMPLOYED
SCHOOLTEACHER

WITH--WITH A CHILD
TO SUPPORT.

WHY CAN'T OUR LIVES
JUST BE NORMAL?

YOU KNOW, I GET
SO SCARED SOMETIMES

I WANT TO GO FIND
MY FATHER.

YOU SHOULD FIND
YOUR FATHER.

MAYBE HE CAN GIVE YOU
A NORMAL LIFE.

HI, MISS LETTERFINE?
IT'S ANN AUGUST.

I'M ALL RIGHT.

UM...

I'M SORRY
TO DISTURB YOU SO LATE,

BUT IS MY MOM THERE?

OH.

NO. I...

WELL, SHE LEFT
A LITTLE WHILE AGO

AND I WAS JUST WONDERING.

NEVER MIND.

I'M SO SORRY TO BOTHER YOU.

ALL RIGHT.

BYE.

[DOOR OPENS]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Ann: WE DIDN'T SPEAK.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Ann: WE'VE NEVER
SPOKEN ABOUT THAT DAY.

NOW MY MOTHER WAS TRYING
TO COVER UP HER FEELINGS

WITH ORANGE PAINT.

I FELT SO ALONE.

I MISS GRANDMA.

I MISS BENNY.

I NEVER STOP MISSING BENNY.

GO ON. JUST CALL.

YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.

YOU'VE HAD
HIS NUMBER FOREVER.

YOU HAVE A PERFECT RIGHT
TO CALL YOUR OWN DAD.

I BET HE'S A REALLY
NICE PERSON

AND JUST FEELS GUILTY

AND HASN'T HAD THE NERVE
TO CONTACT YOU.

DO SOMETHING.

AFTER ALL, HE DID GIVE YOU
THAT RABBIT'S FOOT

TO REMEMBER HIM BY.

I'LL DO IT.

NO.

IT'S OK.

I'LL DIAL AND
YOU TALK, OK?

ANN, JUST
GET IT OVER WITH.

DON'T WORRY.

IT'S GONNA BE OK.

[DIALING]

I'M SORRY.

IT'S RINGING.
DON'T HANG UP.

DON'T HANG UP!
ANN!

DON'T HANG UP.

Man: HELLO?

HELLO?

MR. BADIR?

YES?

IS THIS--IS THIS
HISHAM BADIR?

YES. WHO IS THIS?

THIS IS ANN.

I'M SORRY?

YOUR DAUGHTER ANN.

HELLO?

WOW. ANN.

HOW ARE YOU?

I'M OK. A LITTLE
TAKEN BY SURPRISE.

I'D REALLY LIKE
TO SEE YOU.

OHH...

DAD?

I WASN'T EXACTLY
READY FOR THIS.

DO YOU THINK
I COULD SEE YOU?

I HEARD YOU WERE
MARRIED AGAIN.

WHERE DID YOU
HEAR THAT?

SOMEONE IN BAY CITY
TOLD UNCLE JIMMY.

DO YOU HAVE
ANY CHILDREN?

YES. A DAUGHTER.

I HAVE A SISTER?

WHAT'S HER NAME?

TAMARA.

SHE'S--SHE'S 9.

SO, UH...

DOES TAMARA
KNOW ABOUT ME?

DO YOU EVER THINK
ABOUT ME?

ANN...

DO YOU NEED ME TO
HELP OUT IN SOME WAY?

WHAT?

DO YOU NEED
SOME MONEY?

THAT'S--THAT'S
A TERRIBLE THING TO SAY.

I--I JUST WANTED
TO TALK TO YOU.

YOU'RE MY FATHER, AND...

I THOUGHT MAYBE
I COULD SEE YOU.

I THOUGHT PERHAPS
YOUR MOTHER ASKED YOU TO.

MY MOTHER DIDN'T ASK ME
TO DO ANYTHING.

WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT?

YOU KNOW YOUR MOTHER.

YES, I DO KNOW MY MOTHER,
AND THIS ISN'T ABOUT YOUR MONEY.

SHE HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH THIS.

ANN...

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO SAY.

LOOK, I'M IN
THE MIDDLE OF SOMETHING.

CAN I--
YOU DON'T--

YOU'RE NOT EVEN GLAD
THAT I CALLED, ARE YOU?

YOU DON'T CARE IF
YOU EVER SEE ME AGAIN.

YOU DON'T GIVE A DAMN
ABOUT ME, DO YOU?

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ME
YOUR NUMBER?

I'M SORRY I CALLED YOU.

LISTEN, ANN--

[TELEPHONE BANGS]

YOU'RE BETTER OFF
WITHOUT HIM.

WRITE HIM OFF.
WHO NEEDS HIM?

SUE THE BASTARD FOR
CHILD SUPPORT OR SOMETHING.

[CRYING]

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

[RING]

[RING]

HELLO?

HELLO?

ANN?

YEAH, PETER?

I WANT TO KISS
YOUR LIPS.

WHAT FOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, IF YOU CAN'T THINK OF
A BETTER REASON THAN THAT...

[RING]

[RING]

[RING]

WHAT?

I THOUGHT OF
ANOTHER REASON.

[SIGHS]

I'M WILD ABOUT
YOUR WARM LIPS

AND I WANT
TO SQUEEZE--

I WANT TO SQUEEZE
YOU TIGHT.

I WANT TO BE
ONE WITH YOU.

YEAH.

I WANT TO PART YOUR LIPS
WITH MY TONGUE.

YEAH, AND THEN WHAT?

TELL ME. THEN WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, COME ON OVER.

[UNLOCKS DOOR]

IS YOUR MOM HOME?

NO.

SO...

MAYBE WE SHOULD GO OUT
SOME NIGHT.

NO.

COME IN.

SO, WHAT ABOUT
THAT STUFF

YOU WERE SAYING
ON THE PHONE?

WHERE'D YOU
LEARN THAT?

IT'S JUST IN A BOOK.

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE OFF
YOUR CLOTHES?

ALL RIGHT. UM...

DON'T YOU WANT
TO TALK FIRST?

IT'S NOT EVEN DARK
OUTSIDE.

SO?

MUSIC? DO YOU WANT
TO PUT ON SOME MUSIC?

ALL RIGHT.

[TECHNO MUSIC PLAYS]

ARE THOSE INITIALS
ON YOUR UNDERWEAR?

YEAH. MY MOM
HAS THAT DONE.

INITIAL FREAK.

TAKE THEM OFF
AND BRING THEM TO ME.

I WANT TO KISS YOU.

OK.

OK.

WOW.

Ann:
THAT SUMMER I TURNED 17...

AND I STARTED
PLANNING MY ESCAPE.

[BLUE DANUBE WALTZ
PLAYING]

MY MOTHER FINALLY
FOUND A JOB SHE LIKED

AT A CONVALESCENT HOME.

SHE WAS GOOD
AT WHAT SHE DID.

HERE, LOOK
AT YOURSELF.

AT LAST SHE HAD
A CAPTIVE AUDIENCE.

THAT WAS A GOOD ONE.
GOOD. GOOD.

[SLOWLY]
WALTZ.

AND WHERE'S THAT TONGUE
GOING ON THE "L"?

WALTZ.

IT WOULD HELP IF WE HAD

A LITTLE BIT SNAZZIER
LIPSTICK HERE, JACK.

HA HA HA!

OK, JACK? WE GOTTA GET HER
SOME PERKY LIPSTICK.

MAKE THAT PUCKER.
LET'S TRY IT AGAIN.

"WUH."

WALTZ.

I APPRECIATE HOW YOU ARE
WITH MY MOTHER.

HOW YOU ARE WITH EVERYBODY.

SHE'S COMING ALONG
ALL RIGHT.

I'D LIKE TO TALK MORE
ABOUT THIS. AFTER WORK?

I COULD TAKE YOU OUT TO
LUNCH OR DINNER SOMETIME?

UH, THANKS.

TELL YOU ALL ABOUT
THE CARPET BUSINESS.

YEAH, SOMETIME.

BYE, GUYS.
BYE, ANN.

MUST HAVE BAGGED
A ZILLION GROCERIES TODAY.

YOU MUST BE SO TIRED.

I REALLY APPRECIATE
YOU GOING WITH ME.

I JUST COULDN'T DEAL
WITH IT BY MYSELF.

EVERY TIME THIS GUY LOOKS
AT ME AND ASKS ME OUT,

IT'S JUST SO SAD.

HE'S SO...NICE.

WHEN MY WIFE DIED, I STARTED
EATING OUT ALL THE TIME.

HOW WAS THE POT ROAST?

NICE.
IT WAS NICE.

THINK YOU'LL EVER
GO BACK TO WISCONSIN?

NOT FOR ANYTHINGYEAH.
IN THE WORLD.

WELL, IS IT THAT BAD?

IT WAS A DEAD END.
THAT'S WHY WE LEFT.

I SOMETIMES THINK ABOUT

JUST PICKING UP
AND LEAVING, TOO.

WHENEVER A NEW SHIPMENT OF
CARPETS COMES INTO MY STORE,

I BELIEVE THAT
SOMEWHERE IN THE PILE

THERE'S ONE THAT FLIES.

IT'S BEEN PUT THERE FOR ME.

SOME BEAUTIFULLY HANDWOVEN
16th CENTURY PERSIAN RUG

FROM A THOUSAND
AND ONE NIGHTS,

AND I SIT MYSELF DOWN ON IT

AND I WAVE GOOD-BYE
TO EVERYBODY IN THE STORE

AND FLY RIGHT OUT
OF THE FRONT DOOR.

WHEN I GRADUATE
THIS YEAR,

MY CARPET'S GONNA FLY ME
BACK EAST TO COLLEGE.

YOU BETTER TELL YOUR CARPET
TO DROP YOU AT UCLA.

I'D LIKE TO GO
BACK EAST.

SINCE WHEN?

I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT IT.

WELL, INDEPENDENCE.
SOUNDS LIKE HER MOTHER.

SHE'S NOT GOING BACK EAST.
SHE'S GOING TO UCLA.

NO, I'M NOT.

HONEY, THE HOURLY WAGE

BAGGING GROCERIES
AT THE SUPERMARKET

IS NEVER GOING TO PAY
FOR AN EASTERN COLLEGE.

BUT I'M SAVING AND I CAN
APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID

AND GRANDMA SAID
SHE'D TRY TO HELP.

YOUR GRANDMA
KNOWS ABOUT THIS?

SHE SAID
WHEN THE TIME COMES

MAYBE SHE'LL BE ABLE
TO HELP OUT A LITTLE.

I'D LIKE TO GO AWAY
TO COLLEGE.

WHY?

BECAUSE I WANT
TO GET AWAY.

YOU WANTED TO GET OUT
OF BAY CITY, DIDN'T YOU?

I WANT TO GET OUT
OF BEVERLY HILLS.

I'M SORRY
I BROUGHT THIS UP.

YOU'RE GONNA END UP
BACK IN BAY CITY?

I DIDN'T SAY THAT.

AFTER ALL THIS TIME?

AFTER ALL THAT
I'VE SACRIFICED?

Jack: UM...

HAVE YOU TWO EVER BEEN
DOWN TO THE GRUNION RUN?

NO, JACK. I HAVE TO SAY
WE HAVE NOT BEEN

TO THE GRUNION RUN.

WHAT IS A GRUNION?

IT'S A LITTLE COASTAL FISH.

IT COMES UP ON SHORE
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE

DURING HIGH TIDE AND LAYS
ITS EGGS IN THE MOONLIGHT.

AND THEN IT DIES.

IT'S YET ANOTHER
EXAMPLE OF A MOTHER

GIVING HER LIFE
FOR HER CHILD.

WELL, SOME OF THEM DIE.
NOT ALL OF THEM.

SOUNDS REALLY INTERESTING.
I'D LOVE TO SEE THAT.

WELL, I'D LIKE TO TAKE YOU.

GREAT.

I LIKE HIM.

HE GETS ON MY NERVES.

HE LIKES YOU, AND IF
HE ASKS YOU OUT AGAIN,

I HOPE YOU'LL GO.

HE ASKED ME TO GO TO
LAS VEGAS FOR THE WEEKEND.

GOOD. YOU SHOULD GO.
YOU MIGHT HAVE FUN.

HE IS NOT MY TYPE.

HE'S NOT MY IDEA OF FUN.

GO TO VEGAS, MOM.
TAKE A CHANCE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO FALL
IN LOVE WITH HIM.

I'M NOT ASKING YOU
TO EVEN SLEEP WITH HIM.

OH, THANK YOU.

YOU COULD WIN
THE JACKPOT EVEN.

ALL RIGHT,
I WILL GO TO VEGAS.

FINE. JUST STOP IT.

BUT YOU ARE
GOING TO UCLA.

IT'S A STATE SCHOOL,
IT'S ALL THAT WE CAN AFFORD,

AND I DO NOT WANT TO HEAR
ANOTHER WORD ABOUT IT.

[EXHALES]

"JACKPOT."

Ann:
MY MOTHER DIDN'T KNOW IT,

BUT I'D ALREADY APPLIED TO BROWN
UNIVERSITY IN RHODE ISLAND.

PETER TRIED TO TALK ME
INTO GOING TO BERKELEY,

BUT MY HEART WAS SET
ON THE EAST COAST.

MY GRADES WERE REALLY GOOD,

AND I THOUGHT I COULD GET
A FULL SCHOLARSHIP.

I LIKE THE PART
ABOUT THE NOBLE SOUL,

BUT DO YOU REALLY
READ NIETZSCHE?

I MEAN, I READ NIETZSCHE.

I DON'T REALLY
READ NIETZSCHE.

[LAUGHS]

HE'D BE A CRAZY FRIEND
TO HAVE, DON'T YOU THINK?

MM-HMM.

BESIDES, I THINK PEOPLE
WHO READ NIETZSCHE,

LIKE REALLY
READ NIETZSCHE,
ARE KINDA...

I DON'T KNOW. KIERKEGAARD,
THOUGH, HE SAID THAT--

Ann: WHERE'S THE MAIL?

WHERE'S THE MAIL?

RIGHT THERE.

YOU OPENED IT.

WELL, HOW ELSE
AM I GOING TO KNOW

HOW YOU'RE PLANNING
YOUR LIFE?

AFTER ALL,
I'M ONLY YOUR MOTHER.

WHY WOULD YOU CONFIDE IN ME,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GO AHEAD. OPEN IT.

I'M SURE
YOU'LL BE VERY HAPPY.

PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND?

COULD YOU HAVE GOTTEN
ANY FARTHER AWAY FROM ME?

LOOK, I JUST
DON'T UNDERSTAND.

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS,
AFTER ALL OUR HARD WORK,

WOULD IT HAVE KILLED YOU
TO JUST STICK AROUND A BIT

AND SHOW SOME RESPECT
AND APPRECIATION

TO THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE
WORRIED ABOUT YOU

AND LOVED YOU

AND HAVE SACRIFICED
EVERYTHING FOR YOU?

I'M NOT GOING ANYWHERE!

IF YOU'RE GOING TO READ MY MAIL,
READ IT CAREFULLY.

THEY'RE GIVING ME SOME MONEY
FOR TUITION AND FEES,

BUT NOT ALL OF IT,
AND WE HAVE TO PAY PART OF IT.

AND WE DON'T HAVE THAT.

READ IT.
"PARENTS' CONTRIBUTIONS."

GOD, I WANTED IT SO BAD.

OH, POOH BEAR, IT'S NOT
THE END OF THE WORLD.

IT IS THE END OF THE WORLD!

MAYBE NOT FOR YOU,
BUT IT IS FOR ME.

WE COULD GET
AN ICE CREAM.

NO!

CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND?
I WANT TO GO AWAY TO COLLEGE.

I WANT TO BE ON MY OWN
AND YOU ON YOUR OWN.

AND I KNOW YOU'RE SCARED
TO BE WITHOUT ME,

BUT I CAN'T HELP THAT.

AND I FEEL BAD
ABOUT THAT,

BUT I DON'T WANT
THAT JOB ANYMORE.

LET ME LIVE MY OWN LIFE.
LET ME GO.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[SIREN WHOOPS]

OHH.

GOOD AFTERNOON.

YOU WENT THROUGH THAT
STOP SIGN BACK THERE.

I NEED YOUR DRIVER'S LICENSE
AND REGISTRATION, PLEASE.

YOU WANT TO TAKE
THE DRIVER'S LICENSE

OUT OF THIS, PLEASE?

OH, MY GOD.

WHAT?

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO RAN AFTER
MY DAUGHTER ANN ON CHRISTMAS.

YOU WINKED AT HER?
DO YOU REMEMBER?

OH, YEAH.
I REMEMBER YOU TWO.

I KNOW WHAT YOU TOLD HER, AND
SHE HASN'T BEEN THE SAME SINCE.

I'M SORRY. CAN I HAVE
THE DRIVER'S LICENSE?

YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN RIGHT.

IT HASN'T BEEN PERFECT, OK?

HEY, NOBODY'S PERFECT.

EXACTLY. I MAKE MISTAKES.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING.

SOMETIMES MAYBE
I'M A LITTLE BIT SELFISH.

MAYBE SOMETIMES
I'M A LITTLE BIT IRRESPONSIBLE,

AND THE LIGHTS
GO OUT SOMETIMES.

BUT I'M TRYING.
THAT'S THE POINT, RIGHT?

I AM TRYING. IT'S NOT EASY.

I'M SURE IT'S NOT EASY
FOR HER, EITHER.

IF I COULD GET THE DRIVER'S
LICENSE FROM YOU?

I KNOW I SHOULD HAVE
HELPED HER FIND HER FATHER,

BUT I KNEW THAT
HE WOULD DISAPPOINT HER,

AND SHE'S BETTER THAN THAT.

SO I TRIED TO FIND
HER ANOTHER FATHER.

THAT'S COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE.

I'M SURE IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT FOR YOU.

DID SHE TELL YOU ANY OF
THE GOOD THINGS THAT I DID?

'CAUSE I DID
A LOT OF GOOD THINGS.

I JUST NEED
THE LICENSE--

SHE'S ALWAYS HAD
A WARM HOME, FOOD--

LADY--
CLOTHING--

LADY--

THE BEST SCHOOL SYSTEM.
DID SHE TELL YOU THAT?!

NO, MA'AM. GIMME
THAT LICENSE, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT!

THANK YOU.

[SIGHS]

YOU KNOW, SHE COULD
HAVE BEEN AN ACTRESS,

INSTEAD SHE WANTS
TO GO AWAY TO COLLEGE.

SHE'S TELLING ME THAT
I HAVE TO LET HER GO.

WELL, IT'S ALWAYS BEEN
JUST THE TWO OF US,

AND THAT IS VERY HARD.

I DON'T GET IT.

DOESN'T SHE KNOW I--I
WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER?

I MEAN, I LOVE HER.

SHE IS THE REASON
I WAS BORN.

DOESN'T SHE UNDERSTAND THAT
I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR HER?

THEN YOU KNOW
WHAT TO DO.

YEAH.

[HONK]

[SOBS]

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.

THIS IS WHAT I'M
GOING TO DO FOR YOU.

I'M GONNA LET YOU GO.

OK.

OK? HERE'S YOUR
DRIVER'S LICENSE.

THANKS.

WATCH THE SIGNS, PLEASE.

OK?

AND HAVE A NICE DAY.

YOU, TOO.
[SNIFFLING]

[SIGHS]

MMM, IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S YOUR COLOR.

IT IS, ISN'T IT?

IT MAKES
YOU LOOK SO THIN.

OH, GOD,
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.

CALL ME.

OH, HONEY.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU'RE HOME EARLY.
I WANTED TO SURPRISE YOU.

GOD, THIS IS
A BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILE.

JANET JUST BOUGHT OUR CAR.

YOU'RE SELLING
THE CAR?

SOLD. HA HA!

THIS IS MY DAUGHTER ANN,
YOU KNOW, GOING TO BROWN.

I WAS TELLING HER ALL
ABOUT YOU, SWEETIE.

YEAH. I LOVE THIS CAR.

I WAS OUT WITH
A GIRLFRIEND IN HER CAR,

AND I SEE YOUR MOM
DRIVING PAST.

WHEN I SAW THAT "FOR SALE"
SIGN IN THE WINDOW,

I AM TELLING YOU, I HEARD
A VOICE IN MY HEAD SAYING,

"YOU HAVE TO HAVE THAT CAR."

I MEAN, I CAN'T EVEN
REALLY AFFORD IT,

BUT IT'S, LIKE, THE CAR
THAT I SEE IN MY DREAMS.

MOM, WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
I'M GOING TO BROWN?

SWEETIE,
WE CAN AFFORD IT.

I WORKED IT OUT.

I SAVED A LITTLE MONEY
IN THE BANK,

AND NOW WITH THE MONEY
FROM THE CAR--

I'M APPLYING TO UCLA.

SWEETHEART, UCLA IS FOR
SURFERS AND WANNA-BE STARLETS.

SHE'S A SERIOUS STUDENT.
GO TO BROWN.

YOU CAN'T SELL THE CAR.

[EXHALES]

HONEY, WE'RE
GONNA MAKE IT WORK.

AT LEAST FOR THIS YEAR.

WE'LL WORRY ABOUT NEXT YEAR
NEXT YEAR, RIGHT?

I MEAN, WE'RE GOOD
AT THAT, AREN'T WE?

OK. GONNA DRIVE IT
AWAY NOW, GIRLS.

YOU CAN'T DRIVE IT AWAY.
THAT'S OUR CAR.

THAT'S OUR MERCEDES.
IT CHANGED OUR LIVES.

GOOD LUCK, JANET!

GOOD LUCK TO YOU, ADELE!
THANK YOU AGAIN!

[HONK HONK]

[TRUMPET PLAYING]

[SIGHS]

SO I'LL COME SEE YOU
AT CHRISTMAS.

AND IN THE SPRING
WHEN YOU COME,

I'LL MAKE SURE I HAVE THAT
LITTLE HOUSE AT THE BEACH.

AT THE END OF CARBON BEACH
WITH THE BLUE ROOF?

OK.
OK.

YOU BRING--YOU BRING
SOMEBODY HOME WITH YOU.

SOMEBODY THAT
I DON'T KNOW.

SOMEBODY THAT I'LL LIKE.

OK. I WILL.

P.A.: UNITED AIRLINES
FLIGHT 166 TO BOSTON.

ALL PASSENGERS...

I HAVE TO GO.

...SHOULD NOW BE
ONBOARD AT GATE 18.

YOU LOOK ELEGANT, MOM.

OH, LOOK AT YOU.

OHH...

YOU NEVER WERE
A SMALL-TOWN GIRL, HONEY.

THANKS FOR
KNOWING THAT, MOM.

AND WEAR
YOUR SEAT BELT, OK?

MM-HMM.

OK. OK.

AND--AND MAKE A LIST
OF ALL THE BOOKS

THAT YOU'RE READING
SO I CAN KEEP UP.

OK.

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, SWEETIE.

BYE.

* BE OPTIMISTIC *

* DON'T YOU BE A GRUMPY *

* WHEN THE ROAD GETS BUMPY *

* JUST SMILE, SMILE, SMILE *

* BE HAPPY *

GO! GO AHEAD!

Ann: EVEN IF
YOU CAN'T STAND HER,

EVEN IF YOU HATE HER,

EVEN IF
SHE'S RUINING YOUR LIFE,

THERE'S--THERE'S
SOMETHING ABOUT MY MOTHER.

SOME ROMANCE...

SOME POWER.

AND WHEN SHE DIES...

THE WORLD WILL BE FLAT.

TOO SIMPLE, TOO FAIR...

TOO REASONABLE.

OOH! GOSH, YOU PACK
QUITE A WALLOP.

OH, EXCUSE ME.

ARE YOU OK?

I'M FINE. THANKS.
