All language subtitles for The Banger Sisters

[Crowd cheering]

[Electric guitar playing]

Freak out!

All's fried! Dried! Cried!

Yeah!

Can you feel it?

* it's alive *

* got a phone message call
from your sister, love *

* and she likes to pretend
that she takes it all *

hey!

* just some sex
for the weekend... *

man: I'm telling you, girl,
the manager's gonna fire you.

Hey, it's corporate
mentality, Jay.

Come on. He doesn't care
about the history

of this place.

You called him
a cocksucker, suzette.

Did I say that?

Hey, I'm a garbage mouth, ok?

* and he drinks
with a passion... *

* it's not enough for me *

* it's all I think about *

* and now I've seen the light *

* darling, your face
is crushed *

everybody!

Come on up!

Jay: Oh, what are you doing?

Don't let him see you drinking.

* do you mind? *

* I'm the dark king of plans
for destruction... *

he's gunning for you, suzette.

I've been drinking rum and coke

since before he was born.

He can go fuck himself.

* it's the show *

* and the love on the faces
of everyone *

* that makes all this
connecting the right thing *

* and I'm lost
in her face, yeah *

see that bathroom?

Jim Morrison passed out
in there one night

with me underneath him.

Jim Morrison is a ghost,
and so are you.

Oh, come on, Matt.

I can't not work here.

You might as well shoot me.

You know, I just
got my car fixed,

I owe rent, I owe money
all over the place.

[Sigh]

Come on. Hey.

Come on, seriously.

I'm fun. People love me.

[Chuckles]

I'm a spirit around here, man.

You don't want to lose me.

I'm suzette!

Well, suzette,
we'll just have to see

if the club can survive
without you.

Shit!

What you doing?

[Giggling]

[Sigh]

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

[Radio playing softly]

[Sniffs]

[Sniffs]

Oh!

Vinnie.

[Sniffs]

Vinnie.

* she said *

* "let the rebel take me" *

* "well, let him take me away" *

* she said *

* "let the rebel take me" *

* "let him show me the way" *

[beep]

Whoops.

Oh!

There's something wrong
with this pump.

No, the pump is fine.

You have to pay cash.

Oh! Come on, man.

I don't have any cash, ok?

And that machine is broken.

Don't you have one
of those thingies?

You know, those swipey thingies?

[Horn honks]

Oh!

Disgusting!

Disgusting!

And there is no excuse for it.

Landed on the back
of my hand and copulated...

2 flies!

On the back of my hand!

It's a terrible, terrible bus!

[Bell rings]

Hi. Excuse me.

Hi.

I just was wondering
if you could help me out.

I'm kind of stranded.

And if I could get a dollar
from each of you...

A dollar from each one of you

would really be
helping me out. I...

Uh, well...

I don't normally do this.

Hi.

Ok. Well, all right.
Whatever you can do.

50 cents, 25 cents.

You know, my car's
just sitting out there,

I'm out of gas,

and I'm just trying
to get to Phoenix.

Phoenix?

I'll buy you a tank of gas

if you give me a ride.

First, one fly lands,
then a second fly goes zzzz.

I started freaking.

I mean, they had sex on my skin.

Whoo, I hope you get over it.

I washed off the germs.

When I get to Phoenix,
I'll take a bath.

But, you know, what's it say
about human beings?

We do basically
the same thing flies do.

Male fly gets on top
of the female fly,

this... activity happens.

The similarity is depressing.

So, why are you
going to Phoenix?

That I can't divulge.

Oh, I see.

Well, are you allowed
to divulge your name?

Harry plummer.

Are you a writer, Harry plummer?

Is that an old typewriter

between your legs?

Yes, it is, and I am a writer,

but I don't want to talk

about why I'm going to Phoenix.

Then quit bringing it up.

Why are you going to Phoenix?

To go see a friend.

She's married to
some rich guy there.

He's a lawyer or something.

I'm gonna ask her

if I can borrow some money.

That's a very bad idea.

Why? What is?

To show up unannounced,
ask her for money.

She'll be offended.

She used to be my best friend.

Used to be? When?

You went to high school
together?

Hey, I don't like you
trying to figure me out. Ok?

And by the way,
you've got it all wrong.

We dropped out of high school,

we were roommates,
and we used to...

Well, we were famous,
if you want to know.

As what?

We were groupies.

If you played L.A.,

chances are,
we rattled you, babe.

Rattled?

Yeah. What those flies did

on your little hand there.

Like that.

Ever hear of frank zappa?

Sure. The mothers of invention.

Hey, very good, Harry.

Well, he named us.

The banger sisters.

But you weren't really
sisters, though.

No.

Well, that's good.

I wouldn't have been comfortable

if you were actually sisters.

You're not comfortable
now, Harry.

I'm fine. I'm just hot.

Yeah. You look like an eskimo.

And stop nosing
around in my shit, ok?

When I show up
at her doorstep...

She's gonna drop everything

because we're gonna party.

Just sit there
and be a passenger.

Radio: * we are gonna
par-par-party till... *

woman: Oh, you're gonna
look so beautiful.

Why don't I just get
my whole head replaced

because you've got a picture
of some person, mom,

and it isn't me.

Hannah, you are going
to be so grateful

that you listened to me.

I just want my normal hair.

It's not a normal night,
sweetheart.

You're resisting.

I'm not resisting. I'm...

You're resisting
everything that I'm saying,

and you are making
yourself unhappy.

Now...

Shall we back-comb it
or tease it?

No. Not tease. I'm begging you.

I'd rather just cut it off.

All right. Then
we'll back-comb it

and pin it and fold it

and try a little French twist.

Why does it have to go up?

I don't understand
why that is a rule.

So that people can admire

your earrings, sweetheart.

[Rock music blaring]

[Music stops]

I'm 50.

Hey, this better be good

because you just fucked
with my music.

I'm 50...

And I'm giving myself
a birthday present.

I'll tell you what it is,

but you have to promise
that you won't judge me.

You got to tell somebody,

don't you, Harry?

I grew up in Phoenix.

I went to L.A.
to become a screenwriter.

At age 30,
I gave myself a deadline.

I said, "if I'm not successful"

"by the time I'm 50,

then I'm coming back
to Phoenix."

I've never fired a gun
in my life.

It's only got one bullet in it.

One bullet intended
for one specific person.

And who would

that one specific
person be, Harry?

My father.

I'm going to Phoenix
to kill my father.

Hey, pretty fancy.

Ever write any movies

I might have seen, Harry?

I'm not staying in some dive

where you can hear
the ice machine.

Oh, no. But you are
a guy who rides the bus.

That's what I don't get.

I don't drive, nor do I fly.

Nor does he fly.

Oh, you are
a work of art, Harry.

You're gonna check in
there, take a bath,

and go shoot your dad.

Shh! The windows are open.

You couldn't kill a fly, Harry.

I'm a person who,
when he has a goal,

becomes very focused.

You're not focused.
You're blurry.

I'm blurry? What about you?

I'm definitely blurry.
I didn't say I wasn't.

You run out of gas,

you panhandle, you have tattoos.

I said I was blurry, Harry.

You're very blurry.
You're chaotic.

Your car is untidy,
and you smoke,

and you went around

and had random sex with people.

Is that accurate to say?

I also don't wear underwear,

Mr. looney tunes.

Now, get out of my untidy car.

I can't get the door to open.

Adios, killer.

[Starts car]

[Rock music blaring]

* die, you bitch, die... *

[tires screech]

Woman: Hannah, sweetie,
hurry up.

Everybody's waiting.

You look fabulous.

Look at this.
Yeah. That's great.

Thank you, dad.

Man: You look great.

Thank you, dad.

Come on, sweetheart.

That's it. Come on.

That's your place right here.

Hurry up.

Here we go, everybody.
Close together now.

Back up.

Back up. Back up. Get together.

Photo. Everybody.

Hold it.

Man: Look this way, guys.

[Sigh]

Ok. 1, 2...

[Starts car]

All right. Come on now. Come on.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Move in.

Look this way, guys.

Ok. 1, 2, 3.

Everybody this way.

Aw! All right. In the car now.

Ok, come on.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Aw, that is so pretty.

Mom!

Over the shoulder... I love that.

All right, guys. Have fun.

Don't forget your corsage.

Bye, dad.

Bye!

Have fun!

See you guys.

[Barking]

Barkley! Barkley!

She wants to go to the prom.

There she goes.

She looks so pretty.

Aw, doesn't she?

Like a Princess.

Mr. Harry plummer
is registered here.

I'd like his room number,
please.

Your name?

Suzette.

Yes. This is the front desk,

Mr. plummer.

There is a suzette here

requesting your...

Oh, what is this dance
we're doing?

Harry? Yeah. I need
to talk to you.

Because I just need to.

Because I just do.

Hey, you want me to tell
the whole world

what you're up to?

What's your room number?
Cough it up.

Ok.

Thank you.

This is not appropriate.

You're invading my space.

I've created
my environment, suzette.

I'm gonna fuck you, Harry.

Ok.

Hey, what's the deal?

[Door shuts]

Whoa, whoa. Are you in some
kind of cult or something?

I'm calling security.

Hey, and what would
George Harrison be doing here?

Don't touch that.

Don't touch anything.

This is horrible.

Your eyes are looking
at everything.

You need to get laid, Harry.

Please get out of my room.

You need to get laid,
and I need to get laid,

and I'm gonna have
a rum and coke,

then I'm gonna take a shower,

then I'm going to
you-know-what to you.

Lookee here. Ha ha ha!

I don't want to have sex.

I'll get you into it.

No. You've already desanctified

my environment.

I'm just standing here.

No, you're not.

You're more in the room
than I am.

Listen, suzette...

I have a very carefully
delineated lifestyle.

This is the third room
I've been in

since I got here.

The first one was too
close to the elevator,

the second one was
facing the neighborhood

where I grew up.

If I don't do things
in a regimented way,

especially when I travel,

I develop physical problems.

I get terribly constipated,

for instance.

Like I needed to know that.

Well, there are certain things

I've discovered that
just don't serve me,

and sex is one of them.

You don't have sex?

That's correct.

How long has it been, Harry?

10 years.

10 years! You're lying to me!

I found a way of
making my life work.

But it doesn't work.
I mean, you think it works

because you line things up

and you light candles

so you can have
a bowel movement?

Harry, let me
give you a hand-job.

No! Oh, come on.

Harry, I am such
a good hand-job giver.

No. Please. Stay away from me.

I... i don't do things suddenly.

I like to think first,

and you're too... too...

Too what?

Sudden.

All right. I'll leave you alone.

[Sigh]

But I got to sleep for a bit.

Sleep where?

In your environment.

What about your friend... Vinnie?

Oh, I don't know
what I was thinking.

[Shower running]

[Bathroom door opens]

You got enough vitamins, Harry?

It looks like
a health food store in here.

[Door closes]

[Dance music playing faintly]

Hello. This is Harry plummer
in 419 again.

Is there any way I could move
to a room higher up?

Nothing at all?

Well, is there any way
you can stop this racket?

[Boom]

Aah!

What?

You can't hear that?

It's prom night out there.

Don't know how you can
sleep through it.

Oh.

My whole cycle
has been disrupted.

[Sigh]

Princess and the pea.

Hey, man. Hey, guys.
Come on. Cool it.

Hey, hey!

Come on, man. People
are trying to sleep.

Whoa!

Oh! Hannah...

Oh, Hannah. Hannah?

Hannah?

Uh-oh. What's she on?

Nothing. We just had champagne.

Don't bullshit me.

She's on acid.

Suzette: Ok. Just breathe.

Harry, get out of the way.

Out of the way.

Somebody get
a wet towel, please.

Is she going to be ok?

Yeah. Just get the towel.

Come on, honey. Just breathe.

Oh, when did she drop it?

2 hours, maybe.

2 hours. Man, she's going to be

really messed up.

You guys should take off.

No way. Leave her here?

Like, we don't even know you.

I'm a friend of her mother's.

Ha! Yeah, right.

Yeah. Hannah's mother?

Are you kidding me?

Lavinia Kingsley, handsome.

Now scram.

Go on. Get out of here!

It's ok.

Girl: She looks really sick.

Her mother is Vinnie?

[Door closes]

Yeah.

Oh.

[Sigh]

[Whimpers]

I know. Just breathe.

[Retching]

Ooh, all right. That's ok.

That's ok.

Oh, boy! That's it. Let it go.

Let it go.

Just let it go, sweetie.

Just let it go.

Ohh, there's another one!

Oh, Harry. You may
never shit again.

Ok. All right.

Good girl.

[Sobbing]

Here.

[Whimpering]

[Softly] it's all right now.

Just think of a nice blue sky.

[Coughs]

Hannah: Mom.

I'll get you home. Don't worry.

Just relax.

You're going to feel better now.

[Door closes]

Come on. Let's go.

Come on! Let's go!

[Water running]

Down here, to the kids' wing.

What?

The kids' wing.

The wing?

Mm-hmm.

[Barks]

Hannah: Barkley.

Ha ha ha! Ok.

Barkley.

Hannah. The dog... take the dog.

The dog.

Um...

Have you talked to my mother?

Hey. It's between you and her.

Come on, barkley. Get in there.

[Door closes]

Lavinia: Excuse me.

Excuse me. May I help you?

Hey, vin.

Suzette?

Yep.

Oh, my god. Is that really you?

Yeah.

Well, no. I mean,
the tits aren't me.

They, um... they're fake,

but in here somewhere, it's me!

What are you doing here?

I... i brought Hannah home.

My daughter?

Yeah. She's ok. She's in bed.

No, she is not.

She is not in bed.
It's her prom night,

and she was going
to spend the night

with Carol bishop.

No, vin. She's in bed. Go look.

Why would you be
bringing her home?

'Cause they were partying,

you know, at the hotel
that I'm staying at,

and she needed
a ride home, so...

I gave her one.

That doesn't make sense.

You're leaving something out...

Like what about the...

Jules, her date?

I don't know. I mean,
they kind of went off,

I guess, with the other
kids or something.

You know, you're making me
really nervous, vin.

I mean, I'm just, like...
I'm freaking out here, man.

I mean, aren't you,
like, glad to see me?

Suzette, what is it
that you want?

Who said I wanted anything?

You just show up
here out of the blue

in Phoenix, 16 years later?

20.

Or 20.

You want money.

Who told you that?

I'm asking you.

That I want money?

That is so fucked up!

Shh!

I mean, my being in Phoenix
has nothing to do with you.

Are you telling me the truth?

No. Shit. Ok, Vinnie. Hold on.

I got fired from my job.

What did you tell my daughter?

I named every guy
you ever rattled.

That is not funny, suzette.

She didn't even know
who I was, Vinnie.

Of course not.

My husband, my children,
my community...

They don't know anything
about that period

when you and I were... Friends.

The people that
I associated with then,

yourself included, they're...

They're...

No longer a part
of my current reality.

Oh, fuck your current reality.

I mean, look at you
with your pools

and your fountains.
I mean, come on, Vinnie.

Don't call me Vinnie.
Nobody calls me that.

My name is lavinia.

Vinnie.

All right. I will
give you $5,000

to get out of my life.

I didn't come here
to harangue you.

Harass. Whatever.

You are so uptight.

So uptight.

I'm not uptight.

I just brought the kid home

because she needed a ride,

and she did. She needed a ride.

Suzette, I am not
without gratitude.

But that girl is
on the Dean's list.

She's going to
vassar in the fall.

She's the valedictorian

of her graduating class.

I get it.

Don't worry.

I didn't tell her anything.

[Gate opening]

La-la-la-la-lavinia.

Down.

Hannah. Hannah, wake up.

I need to talk with you.

Ginger!

This doesn't concern you. Out.

Close the door, please.

[Quietly] I want to sleep.

Well, you'll have plenty of time

to sleep after this.

I'm going to ask you something,

and I won't tolerate
anything but the truth.

Did you do drugs
at the prom last night?

What are you talking about?

Did you do drugs?

Answer me honestly.

[Sigh]

I had wine.

I stupidly had 2 kinds...
Red and white...

And the mixture makes you sick.

I didn't even know that
till after.

And that's all?

That was enough.

I'm a guest of Harry plummer.

He gave me his key... 419.

Mr. plummer has changed rooms.

He's now in room 1007.

Thank you.

[Squeak]

Harry?

[Door opens]

Hi. They cleaned up the vomit,

but I had to move.

Of course you did.

Oh, I'm so hungry.

I just got to eat something.

Here. You want one?

You should have something
substantial, suzette.

Let me order up some breakfast.

No. I'm not staying.

I'm going to change my clothes.

Then I'm going to take off.

Oh. I've drawn you a bath.

You've drawn me a bath?

Mm-hmm.

You didn't even know

when I was going to be here.

I've been letting it out
and adding hot.

I'm not in the same mood
I was in yesterday, Harry.

No, no, no. Sure.

It's just that it's been

a hell of a long
night, you know.

When are you going
to shoot your father?

Not today. It's Sunday.

Harry?

Harry: What?

Come on in.

Aren't you naked?

Just come on in. I want to talk.

[Door opens]

Yes?

Sit down.

Oh, man.

I was like a blemish
in her prissy little world.

You should have seen
that place, Harry.

Even the kids have a wing.

And there's vin,

going around like a Princess

and the pool's all going.

Ahh. She had her nose
fucked with, too.

I didn't say anything
to her, but...

I don't know. It was definitely

not her nose, Harry.

Man, she is in dreamland.

And then she looks at me

like I'm some kind
of voodoo ghost

from her past, you know...

Scared to death
I'm going to, like,

blow her cover.

She offered me money

to disappear, Harry.

I didn't take it.

I wouldn't touch it
with a 10-foot pole.

At least you have integrity.

Yeah. Integrity...

And I'm broke.

Oh! Ooh!

Ptoo! I got something...

You want water?

No, don't dote on me, Harry.

Actually, I do want
some water, please.

[Telephone ringing]

Who the hell knows I'm here?

I don't know.
The hotel, for a start.

Answer the phone, Harry.

Hello? Yes.

Uh, yes.

No. Sure. Please come up.

Room 1007.

Who was that?

Lavinia.

What?!

She said she needs to see you.

Oh, my god!

After all I told you,

you think I want her
coming up here?

I just followed
my instincts, suzette.

You're not following
your instincts,

you're following hers!
She manipulates people!

I hate you right now, Harry!

Oh, god.

Lavinia Kingsley.

Harry plummer.

Suzette's just wiping herself...

Drying herself off.
She had a bath.

Oh.

I don't want to interrupt...

Something.

No, no, no. Please
come in, Mrs. Kingsley.

Thank you, Mr. plummer.

I'll just be
2 seconds, really...

You better be here to apologize

because you treated me
like the scum of the earth,

and if you think
those flowers are going

to make me feel better,
you're sadly mistaken.

I'm going to smoke,
Harry. Endure it.

You have every right
to be offended,

and I do apologize.

That is why I am here.

Will you join me for lunch

tomorrow afternoon?

And what will happen
at lunch, lavinia?

Well, I would like
the opportunity

to explain to you why
I'm no longer the person

that I was years ago,

how I've changed... for
the better, I think...

And the direction that
my life has gone in.

For instance,
I'm very much involved

in charity work,

and there's actually
a tree planted

near city hall
with my name on it

right here in Phoenix...

Phoenix being the mythical bird

that Rose from the ashes...

I, too, have become someone

that you don't know, suzette.

And I would like the opportunity

to introduce myself to you.

People do change, suzette.

Not that it's been easy.
It hasn't been.

But I could not be
the person that I was

because the person that I was

is not the person that I am.

Vinnie, stop, ok?
'Cause you're going

right up your own asshole,

and I don't feel like following.

I know what she means, though.

Why, thank you.

Harry, enough.

Vinnie, I'm not
ashamed of my past.

At least I'm not walking around

in some Lance robe and slippers

pretending that
it never happened.

My husband is a lawyer!

Oh, yeah? What are you
going to do, sue me?

Could you just
let me finish, please?

And he aspires
to a career in politics.

Hey. The first lady of the land

is going to be a banger sister?

I am not a banger sister!

Look, I am a mother,

and I am a very good mother.

Hannah told me everything

about what happened at the prom.

She told me that she drank

red and white wine,
and the combination

of the two made her queasy.

Queasy? She was
really out of it,

Mrs. Kingsley.

Wasn't she, suzette?

Oh, I don't think so, Harry.

She would have told
her mother everything.

So, what time's lunch?

I beg your pardon?

Yeah. We're going to lunch.

You said.

Oh. Yeah, but I have just

said everything that I planned

to say at lunch.

You know, where I
come from, lavinia...

Which, granted, is a hellhole

in west Hollywood...

The people go on and on and on
and on about themselves

all day long.

They at least have the decency

to ask the other person,

"so, what's new with you?"

Noon, in the lobby?

Look, suzette, I am
not self-indulgent.

I may be a lot of things,

but that is one thing
that I am not.

Then why are you still
talking about yourself?

[Door opens]

And by the way, how did you know

what room I was staying in?

Oh, I described you to
the clerk at the desk.

Ugh! "I described you
to the clerk at the desk."

I got to get some drinks in her

and get her mojo going, man.

But first, I got to crash.

Oh, I'm so tired.

Oh, yeah. This is good.

Harry?

What did he do to you...
Your father...

To make you love him so much?

He put a kind of curse on me.

How'd he do that?

We had a family business

selling furniture. I hated it.

I wanted to be a writer.

He hated that.

"Go ahead," he said.

"Everything you touch

"is going to turn to shit.

"You'll look back someday,

and there'll be
nothing to look at."

Well, you took off anyway, see?

I like that.

And then you blew
into Hollywood?

Yeah.

It was great.

The whole world
wanted a piece of me.

You know, everybody
was jumping into bed

with everybody
back in those days.

I had a dodge duster.

Every Friday night,
I'd eat at Joe Allen's.

God, it was fabulous.

You mean, you drove?

Gold dodge duster
with white vinyl seats.

Did you have a girlfriend?

Yeah.

What happened?

Everything fell to pieces

just the way he said it would.

Well, come on. You're
giving the old man

too much credit.

You're not selling furniture.

Is he still doing that?

No.

He's...

He's at some place

called horizon hills.

It's a retirement community.

Don't move.

You can do whatever you want,

but you're not allowed to think.

You're thinking, Harry.

I'm terrified.

Shut up.

Ok.

Good morning... Mrs. plummer.

Hey, you've got 2 things
going for you.

One is that I'm in a good mood,

and two is that you're cute.

Oh, suzette.

I came to apologize in person.

I completely forgot
about ginger.

She's taking her
driver's test today.

Ginger? My 16-year-old.

I can't tell you
how important this is.

I have to cancel lunch.
I apologize.

This is for you.

Are you trying
to weasel out of this?

No! This is one

of those rites
of passage moments.

I have to be there.

Well, I'll go with you.

Oh.

Mom, what are you doing?

Nothing.

Who's that?

Suzette, my friend.

Your friend?

All right. Just get in the car.

I'll be there in a minute.

No, you're not ditching me.

You made a date,

and I got all dressed up.

Ok. I just have
to get organized.

Excuse me. Hi. Would you please

take this up to room 1007?

And don't water it.

It doesn't need watering.

They've already been watered,

so you don't have to water them.

Come on. Let's go.

Don't water them. Please.

Ok. In case you'd noticed,

there's one other thing.
You probably won't.

But ginger has
just a little habit of...

She makes a little
noise in the back

of her throat sometimes,

and the specialists
say it's nothing.

It's probably going to dissolve

in a matter of time, and then...

Great. Yeah.

But our policy is just to...

It's just... we're
going to ignore it.

[Throat gurgling]

Take a breath, gin.

I wanted a tattoo, mom,
but you said I couldn't.

Just stay in your Lane, honey.

Is her tongue pierced?

Sweetheart, it's
not nice to talk

about people in front of them

as if they're not there.

I know someone who
had her labia pierced.

All right, concentrate
on your driving, gin.

And I better not get
the guy Jennifer got.

He failed her for talking.

All right. Well, don't
talk, then. Just drive.

That's the way accidents happen.

From talking?
I don't think so, mom.

Stay in your Lane.

What Lane are you referring to?

The Lane that you're in!

Well, if I'm in it,
then what's the problem?

Will you look where
you're driving?!

[Horn honks]

[Breathing deeply]

It's always been
much harder with ginger

than with Hannah
because Hannah tends

to be solution-oriented,
whereas ginger...

Well, she's artistic,
which is, of course,

what I love about her
and always want

to encourage, but she
does tend to be defiant.

You didn't name her
after ginger Baker,

did you? No.

I was pregnant
and craving ginger,

so I ate it every day.

Oh. Way better.

Gosh. What time is it?

I don't know.

Course you don't.

Oh, gosh, I hope
she passes this thing.

It's going to be so good

for her self-esteem.

You know that guy Harry...
The guy you met?

He doesn't drive.

He might now, though,

'cause we had sex last night.

First time in 10 years
for that guy.

I kind of liked it,
though, you know?

I felt like I was
accomplishing something.

Boy, when he came,
it was like somebody

in an electric chair.

I thought you were
in a relationship...

The two of you.

No, no. I just picked him up,

like, somewhere in blythe,

and he's not
a bad rattle, though.

There's hope for Harry.

Hope for Harry.

I hate this place.

I know. Can you imagine
working here?

Ha ha!

Oh, no color.

I'd go crazy. I got
to have color around me,

or I go nuts. I hate drab.

You just looked
right at my dress

when you said that.

I did not.

Oh, you did.

No, I didn't.

Yes, you did.

I would kill to have, uh...

Yeah. I would.

Sure, suzette. It's
almost the same color

as the... Walls.

Oh, come on. No, it isn't.

Yes, it is.

I'm the same color

as the department
of motor vehicles,

and you... Look like a flower.

Why are you so pissed off?

I'm not! I'm complimenting you.

I mean, all the guys here
are staring at you.

That's the idea, isn't it?

[Beeps]

What idea?

Well, I mean, if you
put yourself together

the way that you've
put yourself together,

that's... obviously, you're trying

to get attention.

I don't look any different.

Oh, please.

You used to be
much smaller-chested.

You mean, my tits
are bothering you.

Oh, come on. This
machine is bothering me

because it's not functioning.

You know what? I think
you're, like, ticked off

because you had the big knockers

back in the day.

Well, please. No, yeah.

It's true. Come on, babe.

And you know what?
You used to, like,

you know, flash them,

and they were famous,
those tits,

and I was flat as a pancake.

So I made, you know,
bigger... Ones.

So...

But if it makes you
feel any better...

I don't feel bad. I don't need

to feel better.

They're too big, and, you know,

I overdid it.

Well, I wasn't going
to say anything,

but they're too big.

Yeah, I went from, like,
one extreme to the other.

Ginger: Aah!

Mom, he failed me for no reason!

Gin, what happened?

Nothing! I just drove
like a normal person.

But he decided to persecute me.

It says that you
ran a red light.

Yeah, right! As if I'd
do that on a test!

Oh! And I told everybody

I was taking this stupid thing!

I promised Jennifer

I would drive her
to the pickle pan!

You know what? I can...

[Screaming]

I'm going to take her
home right now.

She just treated you like shit.

Well, she's distraught!

I'll drop you at the hotel.

No, wait a minute. This is not...

This is, like, a big deal...

We're not even getting along.

Suzette, come on.

We were going to have lunch.

[Dog barking]

Lavinia: Somebody
left barkley out.

Barkley!

Barkley! Barkley, come here.

Barkley! Gin.

Ginger, get barkley in.

I can't, mom. I'm too depressed.

Hey. Get the dog.

Come on, barkley,
you stupid moron.

Hannah! You left the gate open!

The dog got out!

[Music blaring]

Hannah, turn the music off!

Jules: Oh, Hannah. Yeah, Hannah.

[Moaning]

Hannah?!

Hannah!

Break it up. Come on.
Break it up!

Aah!

[Gasp]

Mom!

Come on, Hannah.
Get out of the pool.

Jules, oh! Get out of that pool!

Hannah, stop it!

[Giggles]

Nothing was going on,
I swear to you.

Oh, right!

I'm almost 18!

I don't care
how old you are, Hannah.

You are still living
in my house.

You are driving a car
that we paid for.

We have paid
for your college education.

As long as that is true,

you will abide by our rules!

Do you understand?
Now, you get out of there!

Get dressed! Turn the music off!

And you're not helping matters.

What did I do?

Well, you're just
so permissive-looking,

standing there...
The way you stand.

But you said I looked
like a flower.

Ginger: Mom! I just
stepped on a snail!

There are no snails
on this property, gin.

What's this crunchy thing
I just, like, killed?

Jules! I have known you

since you've been
in preschool, young man.

This is so not the norm

of how I behave, Mrs. Kingsley.

Lavinia: Hannah, of all people.

You don't think that maybe

they were just
skinny-dipping, do you?

No. They were going at it.

In the pool,

where we, as a family, swim?

Yep. Oh! God.

You don't think maybe
they just could've been

rubbing up against each other?

No, they were fucking.

Oh, my god. Hannah's
the valedictorian,

and that boy Jules...

He got a national award
for community service.

He's a little weasel,
if you ask me.

Why do you say that?

He just is. I can tell.

You know, I can smell it. Hey!

I don't know what
I'm supposed to do now.

Do you think
I'm supposed to call

his parents and tell them?

You're asking me?

[Disposal running]

Why are you wasting
all those lemons?

Lemons eliminate odor, suzette.

Oh, my god. You are
so freaked out about this.

Yes, I am.

School's out,
and they're seniors,

and they came back,
and they had a few beers,

and they got naked in the pool.

I mean, they're just having fun.

They are kids!

I want to show you something.

Come here. What?

Refresh your memory.

Look at this.

Those aren't kids?

Oh, my god.

Remember we sat up there
over sunset boulevard,

waiting for the sun to come up?

Until the cops made us get down.

Mmm. Sunrise over sunset.

Just get to the point.

Well, it was your idea
to climb up there

in the first place.
Do you know why?

No. Exactly.

We just did stuff.
We just did shit

for no reason, vin.

[Door opens]

My god. That's Raymond.

My husband.

What are you going
to do with me?

Am I going to hide
in the closet...

No, no. He knows about you.

I've just been a little
sketchy, that's all.

Like, how sketchy?

I said we went
to college together.

I went to college?

Yeah.

I'm a really bad liar, Vinnie.

Ok. Then just tell
the minimum amount of truth.

Hi, honey.

Hi. Hi.

Whoa! Sorry. Sorry.

Oh, this is suzette.

Suzette?

We were roommates
in Los Angeles.

Oh, suzette. Yes,
of course. Of course.

Suzette. Suzette.

Hi. You went to ucla?

I saw country Joe
and the fish there.

Oh. Ha ha ha!

Yeah. So, uh, stay
for dinner, suzette.

Lavinia and I would love
to have you for dinner.

Please. Stay for dinner.

Sure. Ok.

Cool.

Groovy.

I'm staying for dinner.

Yeah.

Is mom's friend for real?

I don't know.

I don't care.

Get out of my room, ok?

All you ever do is eat,

and you're so skinny.

What's your problem?

[Sigh]

Mom caught me in the pool

with Jules.

So?

We weren't swimming.

Eww.

Your own mother?

Shut up. It was horrible.

She stood there and made us

get out of the pool.

It was so embarrassing.

It's the worst thing

that's ever happened to me.

I failed my driving test.

You're allowed to fail. I'm not.

I don't even know
what it feels like.

Look at me. Look. Look at this.

I'm on every single page
of this yearbook.

Ugh!

And tomorrow, I'm expected

to get up in front
of the entire school

and say something profound

so that all the grads
will run off

into the future

and live happily ever after...

Such a lie.

I wish I could just
get up there and fart.

Ha!

Why don't you?

Yeah, right.

All my teachers,
the head of school,

dad, mom...

Especially mom...

Can you imagine her reaction?

Well, at least
it wouldn't be boring.

"Success is going
from failure to failure

without loss of enthusiasm."

Winston Churchill.

But what if the person
testing you

has such bad body odor,
you can't even concentrate?

Red light means stop, ginger.

New topic. Hannah...

How's your speech coming?

I'm thinking of doing
something unconventional.

Well, that's always a good idea.

If it were always a good idea,

it wouldn't be unconventional.

You're going to do fine.

You look great.
You have a lot of color

in your face.

Have you been out
in the sun today?

Yeah, Hannah.

[Throat gurgling]

Ginger, ginger.

Relax your throat
when you're eating.

Yeah, ginger.

Suzette?

Mm-hmm?

You knew my wife before I did...

Actually, before all of us did.

Has she changed
over all these years?

I see the same person.

[Laughs]

What do the two of you
have in common?

What do we have in common, vin?

We, uh, went to
the occasional concert.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Hmm. What kind of concerts?

Rock.

It had to be
really rock, though.

Didn't it, babe?

[Laughs]

Both: Babe?

We had very high standards.

Wait. Like, bands?

Ha ha! Mom in a mosh pit?

[Laughter]

Standing there
holding her purse.

With her hair all perfect.

"Come on, everyone. Let's go.

It's getting late."

This is a little difficult

to picture, lavinia.

Vinnie... vin.

Yeah, babe.

She danced.

That's what she did. She danced.

Our mother?

Our mom's a really,
really, really bad dancer.

That was what was
so really, really,

really genius about it.

You didn't care what
anybody thought,

did you, babe?

Raymond: Lavinia?

Lavinia?

Anybody know what
suzette's tattoo stands for?

Hmm?

Don't say anything, suzette.

It's a lizard with a crown
on its head. Anybody?

Hmm?

I have no idea.

Jim Morrison.

"I am the lizard king."

He also called himself
"Mr. mojo risin',"

which were the letters
of his name scrambled up.

He wrote it in Mexico,

having been up all night

after climbing
the pyramid of the sun.

Mom, you're being weird.

Hannah: Yeah. You're acting

like a whole different person.

You are acting
a little strange, lavinia.

Oh, you have no idea
how strange I can be.

What the hell was that?

Chicken breast.

[Throat gurgling]

[Ring]

Suzette?

I'm trapped out here
in the suburbs, Harry.

I'm getting to see how
the other half live.

I don't know. It's really weird.

It's complicated having
all your shit together.

You've made progress
since yesterday.

Yesterday, she didn't
even want to see you.

That's great. It's terrific.

I don't know.
What are you doing?

You sound speedy.

I'm writing like a fiend.

Yeah? What are you writing?

I don't know. Everything.
Words, thoughts, images.

It's all just kind of
exploding out of me.

I feel so ebullient.

Ebullient?

[Chuckling]

You just got off,
Harry. That's all.

It's more than that, suzette.

It's... it's...

I think you're my muse.

Uh, Harry, wait a minute.

I'm just a chick you
met in the desert, ok?

Yes, exactly. And if I...

I... i wouldn't have met
you in the desert

if I hadn't screwed up
my life so beautifully.

Where are you going with this?

If I had done
one thing different,

if one little thing had
worked out and gone right,

my whole life would have gone
in some other direction.

Instead everything went
wrong and led me to you.

Hey, you're way
ahead of yourself.

Then I shouldn't
feel something for you?

No, no. You can feel
whatever you want,

but, you know, just don't make

a 3-act play out of it.

When are you coming home?

Home?

I mean back, you know,
to the hotel.

Um... Harry, listen,

write whatever
you want, you know.

Just dig it out
of yourself, babe,

because that's where it is.
It's all in there, ok?

Now, go for it.

See you later.

[Kiss]

Radio: * I don't want to live *

* my life in chains *

* I feel these voices *

* swimming in my brain *

does our mom have a secret life?

Let me tell you something
about your mother.

It wouldn't kill you to be
just a little bit nicer to her.

How would she know
about Van Morrison

all of a sudden?

Jim Morrison,
not Van Morrison. Jeez.

Ok, Jim Morrison. She was
talking about him like she

knew him or something.

Do the dishes, ok?

The dishes? Rosa does them.

Rosa who?

I don't know.

You have people wiping your ass

and you don't even
know their names.

Hannah, did you hear that?!

Just do the dishes,
ok? You wash.

You dry. Here's the sponge.

And no using the dishwasher.

Why?

Because you're spoiled
brats, that's why.

No, we're not.

Look at all this shit
that you've got.

Look... look. What's this?

A banana hammock.

Oh, right.

A hammock for your bananas.

I mean,

not everybody has one of those.

We don't need
to be lectured by you.

You don't even know us.

You and I go way back,
little miss prom queen.

We want to know
about our mother.

She was a blast.

She was a kick-ass girlfriend.

Wait. What does that mean?

What did she do?

Did she smoke weed?
Did she get drunk

and puke all over
the place, have sex?

Did she ever do anything wrong?

Where's your father?

No place I'll ever go in again.

* how you gonna make it, baby? *

* that's the question
to be asked *

* life goes on around you *

* in so many different ways... *

ow! Oh, jeez.

* I know my share of history *

* how hard it is *

* to be free *

* from wearing masks
that turn to skin *

* hiding what you
could have been *

* and I... *

what are you doing?

I want to go out

or one of them... *

suzette: Come on, Vinnie. Let's
go. What's taking so long?

Harry?

Here. Do me up, will you?

Vin, what are you
doing in there?

Suzette, you look so...

[Chuckles]

Iridescent.

Thank you.

Will you be very late?

Definitely.

Ready or not, here I come.

Oh, my god.

Your hair.

Oh...

Yeah?

Oh... well?

It's fucking great, man.

Yeah?

Suzette: Yeah, yeah.

Harry, come over here.
Tell me what you think.

That took some guts.

Ok. Ready, huh?

Let's go.

All right!

You get the purses.

Oh, bye.

Bye.

Be brilliant.

Say good night, Harry.

Good night, Harry. Aah!
Oh, god. That scared me.

Ooh. Ooh.

[Hard rock music playing]

Oh, oh, my.

Suzette: What?

I just forgot it's
so crowded and loud

and dirty and sweaty
and... it's... i...

Vinnie, come on. Come on.

All right. Just give me
a second. Just another minute.

Ok, all right, all right.

Your minute's up.
Let's go, let's go.

Oh, suze, suze.

Come on, let's just
work our way in, babe.

What do you want to drink?

How about coffee?
Vinnie! Come on.

Get me something with, like,
a little sword or something.

You got it, baby. You got it.

Sorry. Excuse me.
Sorry. Excuse me.

Oh, I'm terribly sorry.

That was completely
my fault. Oh, my god.

Suzette, I'm just
knocking into everybody.

Aah! Aah!

Sorry. I'm so sorry.
Suzette! Suzette!

Yeah! Over here, honey.

Come on, come on.

I got us some chairs.

You still have
such great bar instincts.

Well, you're in
my territory, honey.

Oh, ok. So, now what do we do?

Man: A rum and coke and a tiki.

Anything you want.
Anything you want!

How about checking out
the bartender's ass?

Hooray!

She's back.

He looks a little like
rod Stewart. A little bit.

He does look like rod Stewart.

Look at his little
rod Stewart ass.

Not so loud, not so loud.
He's gonna hear you.

[Laughing] all right.

Excuse me. Would you
like to dance?

Oh... that's so sweet of
you, but no. I'm married.

And I have a number
of children and a house

and a dog... a golden
retriever, actually.

That's so nice of you to
ask me. Thank you very much.

That was really nice
of him, wasn't it?

Ok, it's time.

For what? Let's dance.

I don't think so.

Put your purse down.

No, I can't. Honey.

Not yet.

Vinnie, come on, honey. Let go.

No.

Please, honey. Let
go of your purse.

I can't. I can't.

All right, drink up.
Heads up. Ok?

Hey, rod, check our...

Look after our things,
will you? We're gonna dance.

Sure thing.

* watch out... *

I don't think it's
the right speed for me.

It's just a little
not right. Too fast.

Come on, honey. Loosen up.

* ...I'm an ordinary guy *

Look at all the stars.

How many can you name, vin?

Zero.

Have you ever been
to Europe, Vinnie?

Oh, yeah.

Did you go to Paris, France?

Mm-hmm.

Did you go to
that big famous cemetery

where Jim is?

Pere-lachaise.

What was it like?

[Sigh]

Sad.

Yeah.

Ok, ok.

I want you to know
just for the record

that I myself have not
seen this for 20 years.

What?

You'll see it. You'll see it.

Just light that candle,
ok, over there.

Yeah.

Ok.

You have no idea what
I'm gonna show you, hon?

Absolutely none?

What is it? I have no idea.

It's gonna be a total
surprise to you?

You don't even have a clue?

No!

Let's see.

You ready? Yeah.

It is the...

Together: Rock cock collection.

Oh, my god. You said you threw

the rock cock collection out.

You said it was history.

No, I did not. Yes, you did.

I said it was history.

That's not the same thing
as throwing it out.

Say you lied. I lied.

Ok.

Close your eyes.
The names are on the back.

I'm nervous now, vin.

Guess who the first
rock cock is.

Ooh.

[Both chuckling]

Roger...

Waters.

Jimmy page.

Give me that. Are you kidding?

And this one is... Jimmy?

Very veiny and... ooh!

"Arlo Guthrie."

Oh, no. That's yours, babe.

You take that one. Look at this.

Ha ha! What?

Keith! That's Keith.

And this one is...

I get it 'cause I backlit it.

Oh, my god.

This one is... i don't
even know. Oh, my god.

Where? Hold on,
hold on, hold on.

Hold on, hold on. No, no, no.

I'm gonna smoke this.

You're not gonna do that.

Yes, yes, yes, I am.

Come on, honey. It's gonna be...

It's so old. How old is it?

Well, it's probably
younger than we are.

[Lavinia and suzette laughing]

Who is that?!

It looks ridiculous.

Who is that?!

[Imitates trumpet]

I don't know.

Look at this little
guy peeking out.

Jesus Christ! I told you...

[Coughing]

Boy, it's so rough.

Steve somebody.

Steve...

And here's... Steve...

Why didn't somebody
just stop us?!

Wow. That was so cool.

It was not...

That's mine. It's so yours.

Oh, my gosh.

[Coughing]

That's so kind of...

Looks like a nose or something.

This is totally fucked up.

Keith?

Oh, my god! Oh, suze!

Oh! Oh! Oh, my god.

I got it. Here.

Why didn't you just
put out the joint?

Here. I'll help you.

Don't hit me. Oh, my god.

[Fire alarm beeping]

Oh, my god.

We're burning down the house.

Lavinia! Lavinia!

Oh, it's ok, honey. Yeah?

[Beeping stops]

Oh, god.

Hi, Raymond.

What happened, lavinia?

Um, um...

Oh, my. Are these
what I think they are?

What do you think they are?

Well...

Lavinia, what... what...

What are you wearing?

What did you do to your hair?!

She cut it. Do you like it?

Lavinia...

All right, Raymond, look...

You know how, um,

some people collect
baseball cards?

Well, suzette and I were...

What? What? Photographers?

[Stifled laugh]

[Whispers] I'm sorry.

No, Raymond.

[Suzette laughing]

I'm so sorry. No, no.

No. We were... groupies.

You... you were...
You were groupies?

You were a groupie?

Yeah.

And th... these... these
are pictures...

Of musicians.

Musicians?

And a few roadies.

And a few roadies.

[Suzette chuckling]

What do you mean, that
you were a groupie?

[Suzette laughs]

We...

Sorry.

Hannah: Oh, dad, mom,
where are you?

Oh, shit!

What have I done? Lavinia!

What are you doing?
Jeez. It smells like...

Here.

Lavinia: Hi, honey.

[Scuffling]

Uh...

It's, uh... Ginger.

She took my car.

This is so stupid.

All I did was bang
into a parked car

a little bit, and they
take me to a hospital

and force me to wear
this stupid thing?

Mom, what happened
to your hair?!

It's ok. Sit down.

I'm not injured, except for the
air bag hitting me in the face.

You were driving
without a license.

Then why don't they take me to
jail? It would make more sense.

You're in enough trouble
already, young lady.

Ginger: I drove
all over Phoenix, dad.

That was the only car I hit.
It wasn't even my fault.

What do you mean, it
wasn't your fault?

Hannah gave me the keys.

You said you'd stay
on blossom circle.

It was too boring.
It was a circle.

Raymond: You let your
sister drive your car?

I can't believe you were
that irresponsible.

Me?! you have a whole
history of being

irresponsible, it turns
out... you and suzette.

Suzette: Hey, I'm
just standing here.

Doing what?

What do you have to
do with our family

besides coming in
here and wrecking it?

Ginger: Everything was fine
until you showed up.

Lavinia: It was not fine.

Hannah: She made it worse.

Suzette.

Lavinia. Mom! You are such

a hypocrite. You
freak out because I

have sex in the pool
with my boyfriend?

This is my job. The pool?

I'm just trying
to keep you safe.

I don't think that's the problem

with you breathing down my neck.

Please be quiet.

I'm so safe, I'm
suffocating here.

I can't wait to get
out to college

to get away from you.

This is a hospital,
for god's sake.

Will you just let her
talk? She's telling me

what a shitty job
I'm doing as a mother.

This is a public place.

Oh, what are you
so worried about,

you might lose a vote or two?

I'm worried about you. That's
what I'm worried about, Vinnie,

or whatever the hell you're
calling yourself these days.

One minute you're pruning
the plum trees,

the next you're putting
penises all over the floor.

Penises?

I have no idea who you are.

No. You don't.

You're right, because,
you know, I am so busy

pruning the plum tree
and taking you to soccer

and picking up all your shit

and taking the dog

for his umpteenth
distemper shot that...

I have lost me.

Can we go home, please?

I'm tired. I can't even see.

You know, we have

graduation today.

Yeah, mom, and I'm
really, really hungry.

You haven't heard a thing
I've said, have you?

What just happened?

[Ring]

[Ring]

Hello.

Harry, listen, I'm coming back.

I'm gonna get my
stuff, get my car.

I'm leaving.

I'm going back to L.A.

But... but nothing.

You're just a guy
I picked up, Harry.

I just picked you up, all right?

I'm done talking. Just
stay out of my way.

[Dial tone]

Hannah and ginger were really
angry at me. They're not...

It's not them. They
were right, vin.

I don't belong here.

I don't know where I belong.

[Sniffles]

[Sobs]

I just came here to...

Oh, I don't know
why I came here.

I don't know what
I'm looking for.

I just know I fuck things up.

I fucked things up really good.

I do that.

No.

And you guys are
fighting and arguing.

I lost it.

It's just my fault.

No, it isn't. I lost it.

But that's what
people do when they

love each other, is that
they yell at each other

and they argue.

I'd give anything
to have a family

to argue with and fight with,

but I only have a fucking cat

who's not even
worth talking about.

But I'm your family.
You fight with me, right?

Oh, vin.

My only claim to fame is

that I let a zillion
zonked out musicians

get in my pants
who don't even...

Care about me.

Oh...

Oh, vin.

I did, too, only I
couldn't even talk about it

until you came along.

Now I'm laughing
about it and dancing.

Look at me.

Hmm? You're a force, sweetie.

I love that about you.

There's nobody else
like you, ok?

I love you.

I love you, too.

1, 2...

Together: 3, 4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9, 10.

[Sniffles]

You know, there was a guy

that was brought
in there on a stretcher.

His face was all blue,

and he had a thing over him.

I thought he was dead.

Even he looked at my tits.

Well, maybe you revived him.

Oh, man.

I want to walk.

Ok. Where do you want to go?

* baby, do you
understand me now? *

* when sometimes I feel mad *

* you know that no one's *

* always an angel *

* when things go wrong *

* I seem bad *

* oh, but I'm just a soul *

* whose intentions are good *

* oh, lord,
please don't let me *

* be misunderstood *

[lavinia chuckles softly]

It's early. I don't
want to wake him up.

[Beeps]

Where is he?

Oh, something's wrong.

This isn't good. Why?

Nope.

It's a beautiful day, suzette.

He could be anyplace.

No. Something's wrong. What?

I feel it.

Oh!

Oh, vin, the typewriter's
at the bottom of the pool.

What?

The gun. He must
have taken his gun.

Harry has a gun?

Yeah. With one bullet
intended for one person.

Who?

His father.

He's gonna shoot his father?

Yes. I just... oh, man.
I feel bad.

I called him,
I hung up, and I...

Suzette, suzette,
suzette, listen.

I just feel... yeah.

Focus. Where is his father?

Uh, he's in an old-age home.

Ok.

It's like something something.

It was like
something, something.

Something. All right, focus.

Something... horizon something.

Horizon hills?

That's it. Horizon hills.
Do you know it?

Yeah.

Well, let's go, man.

But it's not an old-age home.

What's your take on him, vin?

The gun thing's tricky.

Oh, man. What am I gonna do?

How am I gonna talk
him out of it?

You'll figure it out.

Just stay calm, rational.

Yeah.

You lied to me, Harry.

And you told me to stay out
of your way, remember?

Get in the car.

It's between me and him.

But he's already dead,
you lunatic.

No, he isn't. He's in here.

What?

In here.

Why do you still blame him?

You know what kind of
father I had.

When I was 4, I'd feel...

Fuck 4.

My whole childhood,
he was never there.

I went to bed every night
without a dad to tuck me in.

You know how damaging
that can be?

It's too bad you didn't
know me back then,

because I could have
sent my father over

and he could have tucked you in.

He hated me, thought
I was worthless,

criticized everything I did.

For heaven's sakes.

You ran me over.

Someone had to. Did
you hear yourself?

You don't run over a person!

Harry, we were only going
2 miles an hour.

What's the problem?

You were gonna kill
yourself anyway, right?

Harry, come on.

You're both insane.

So true.

I got it. I got it.

Give me that.

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna help you, Harry.

[Fires gun]

Jesus.

[Bird squawking]

That was your one bullet.

Go forgive him, Harry.

You're here. You might
as well talk to him.

[Music playing]

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Hmm.

[Tires screeching]

[Rock music playing]

Come on, suzette. Hurry up.

[Humming nervously]

Hurry, hurry!

I'm coming, I'm coming.

They may have already started.

Hi.

Come on.

[Chuckling] come on.

Suzette, come on. You, too.

Come on. Come on,

come on.

Put your shoes on, honey.

Yeah. Wait. Wait. Where
are you going? Come on.

Come on. You got it? Good.

How about the other one?
You look great.

Hannah: I hate feeling fake

more than anything in the world.

You wouldn't believe
what people tell you...

"you got to get into college.
You got to figure out

what you're gonna do.
You got to make money."

And we're going...

"My god, I feel like I'm
still a kid practically."

But your teachers and your
parents and everybody's got

everything all planned out
for you with high expectations.

But what if it has
nothing to do with you?

You lose track of yourself.

And that's fake.

We're going into the future.

And I only have little clues
as to what might be out there.

Sometimes, I'm scared to death.

Sometimes, I'm really excited.

And I just wish for
everybody in my class...

No, for everybody...
That whatever you do,

you do it true,

even if you mess up,

even if you fail.

I'd rather fail doing
my own thing,

doing what I want to do

than doing what somebody else
wants me to do and succeeding.

I'd rather be fighting
with my family

than... pretending it's all ok.

To the graduating class
of 2002... Go.

Go into the world
and do it true.

Do it true.

Woo!

[Loud cheering]

Honey, you rocked.

Now we're gonna
go back to the house.

And why don't you follow
us in your car, ok?

No. I'm gonna take off.

Yeah, I got stuff to do.

But I've got to give
you back your clothes.

That's all right.
Hold onto them.

It'll give me an excuse
to see you again.

You don't need an excuse.

We had a blast.

Yeah.

Mom! Oh, my god, you guys.

What?

I am so in love.

Who? With who?

Shh. He's right...
He's right there.

Wait, wait, wait.
Not him, not him.

There he is. That's him.

Musicians.

Yeah.

[Chuckles]

* well, she said *

* "let the red road take me" *

* "you better show me the way" *

hey, suzette.

Yeah?

Do you want to hear a story
that I've been writing?

Yeah. Tell.

Well, it's about this guy

who's complicated,

and he meets this woman who's...

She's...

Harry, skip to the end.

What happens to them?

I don't know. I haven't
figured that out yet.

Oh.

She's a hand-job giver.

[Laughing] oh, Harry!

And she's great at it.

[Suzette laughing]

* "let the red road
take me..." *

* "let it show me the way" *

[new song starts]

* fame *

* makes a man take things over *

* fame *

* lets him loose,
hard to swallow *

* fame *

* puts you there
where things are hollow *

[echoing] * fame *

* fame, it's not your brain *

* it's just the flame *

* that burns your change
to keep you insane *

* do what, do what,
do what, do what, do what *

* do what you like,
do what you want to do *

* do do do do, come on *

* do what you like,
do what you want to do *

* do-do what the...
That you want to do *

* if you got strong game,
money, and fame *

* then your dirty wishes
will come true *

[new song starts]

* she asked me, maybe
I could share her sorrow *

* for all the men
that tried to treat her wrong *

* though just a baby *

* awaiting her tomorrow *

* it's rock me, baby,
rock me, baby *

* all night long *

* she needs an answer *

* to her confusion *

* someone to guide her
with tenderness *

* but when she's askin'
for a solution *

* all that she gets,
you know, is *

* something like this *

* "I don't know
where we come from" *

* "don't know where
we're goin' to" *

* "but if all this
should have a reason" *

* "we would be
the last to know" *

* "so, let's just hope there
is a promised land" *

* "hang on till then" *

* "as best as you can" *

* everybody's ills, you know *

* it fills her with compassion *

* that's why she tries to save
the world alone *

* she helps the needy *

* in her own fashion *

* and tries to give them *

* all her own *

* she needs an answer *

* for her confusion *

* someone to guide her
with tenderness *

* but when she's askin'
for a solution *

* all that she gets,
you know, is *

* something like this *

* "I don't know
