Original subtitles

I don't know why you never made that, but it helped find your

back.

Well, I figured if I was going to be waiting tables, I might as well do it in

own place.

Don't bother stay. Goodbye You

should

not drink

You can't handle it.

What's up, babe?

Give me a beer.

Now you forget the magic word.

What I forgot was a hard time you always get.

Give me the damn beer, please.

Here,

please.

Think I'll get used to this place again?

Well, once you get used to it... Well, everything's about to change.

Between the little project, yeah.

Same thing he said to me 15 years ago.

Makes me sick. I don't want to hear about it.

Sweep up the front, would you, Moggy?

It's your place, too.

Dad left the place to you, Virginia.

Just a second dance.

Sweep up.

Come on.

Fui pa... Fui pa...

My God.

Oh, God, baby.

Remember how it used to be?

Sunday afternoons in the back room.

Yeah, we had hell of a time.

Well, you still want to marry me?

Like you did in high school.

Take this.

There's been an accident.

Where? The freeway accident.

Go.

I had

nothing

to do with it. I swear I only found her.

Better call an ambulance. No, no ambulance.

No report, please.

I gotta tell your father. No, father.

You really owe me this time, kid.

Come in.

Hi.

I'm Margie.

I'm... Jezebel.

See, almost fainted.

I'm Doc Watley.

Jezebel. No last name?

No middle initial either.

Just follow this light with your eyes.

And don't move your head.

Those damn motorcycles, they're so dangerous.

There are things that are more dangerous.

How bad's my bike?

Pretty bad, according to the sheriff.

Just thank God that you're not.

It's gonna take money to fix.

Any work around here?

Jeez, Margie. Come on, come on. What, what, what happened?

What's that?

Your problems are over.

What? That covers a lot of territory.

You owe me.

This is my sister, Virginia.

She'll let you wait tables.

It's full at breakfast anyway.

Come on, Danny. Don't make me nervous.

Don't worry, baby.

Lightning, huh?

Grow up.

Used to like watching my quick draw.

Used to like Saturday morning cartoons.

I used to be a virgin.

I used to a lot of things. It didn't change.

Slow it down, partner. You're throwing me off.

Sure

is

a pretty little thing, huh?

Had noticed.

You're full of shit.

You never get fat smell in the bread when you pass the bakery, baby.

And when you take a bite, do you get fat?

Oh,

this is good.

Faberson, Ben Faberson, and their son, Hunt.

Jezebel.

Jezebel? You don't have a last name, Hunt?

Doesn't matter.

Don't you want her to notify your family?

Don't have any.

No one?

I've been forced to take care of myself for a long time.

You poor child.

Please forgive me. I'm a little tired now.

Oh, of course you are.

We'll go now.

Come along, Margie.

Let her stay.

Hope you get better soon.

I wanted to thank you for the job.

Thank my sister.

And to tell you how much I like your painting.

Damn Coastal Commission drove me crazy.

I don't understand, Dad. You're the mayor.

Coastal Commission supersedes all local government rulings.

Crazy bunch of environmentalists with power like that.

Fifteen years is a long time.

I really do admire your patience, Benjamin.

Great dreams require great patience.

I thought you were going to start when I left for college.

Well, the last five years were the worst.

Damn Coastal Commission would lose my files.

I'd reissue all the documents, then they'd lose my application. Then they'd

the files again.

Took me a long time to get to someone.

Well, maybe this really is a better time for your project after all timing is

everything.

Couldn't be more perfect.

God's perfect timing.

You still don't think that God has a hand in this, Dan?

I don't think there's reason in my hand.

You had more.

What?

This is a regular pajama party.

Your friends will come over, stay up all night giggling about boys, call them,

hang up when you answered, giggle some more.

How do you remember that song?

Since I would have given anything to be part of it.

Hey boys, you want to hang up on now?

I don't know, George.

Jezebel, pull up a chair, go to the glass, have a margarita, and sit down.

What

do

you guys up to?

Well, the pajama party.

I've never been to a pajama party.

You?

You must have had every invitation in the world.

Invitations?

I've had those since I hit my first foster home at eight.

Then when I ran away and hit the street, I got even more invitations.

What happened to your parents?

Dead.

My grandpa tried to raise me.

But he died too.

I'm sorry.

She is terrible.

Those were the happiest years of my life.

I really loved him before the invitation started.

I have those receipts for you guys. Thank you. A couple extra, okay?

Can I help you?

Oh, yeah.

Hey, darling, why don't you and me... Please.

Please.

Hey, I want to do things to you that I can't even pronounce.

I've got work to do.

Leave the little lady alone.

This bitch is mine.

You can have the gimp.

boys are going to pay for this mess.

You're too late, Dan.

Look, I'm sorry this happened.

Are you scared?

A little. It's okay.

If you ever need help again, or anything, you don't hesitate to ask,

Thought I'd have some breakfast.

Not today.

Why? I came specially.

There was a fight.

Oh, are you okay?

Yeah. But I have to help with it, ma 'am.

Hey.

It's okay.

We'll take care of it.

Thanks.

I could show you the house. The lab.

That's the little... Oh, did that hurt you? No, it didn't.

Oh, it's so beautiful.

Here. Oh, how lovely.

Flower and farm.

Hmm.

Hon. Oh, what a lovely surprise.

Hmm.

Oh, my dear, you're looking much better.

Thank you.

This is Brady.

She's been with our family all since before Hon was born.

Angie, never say as much.

It's not that good with strangers.

You stay for lunch. Oh, what a good idea.

Hmm? All right. I'm going to go show Jezebel in the lab.

All right.

Now?

Molests.

These are the same snails you'd be served in the finest restaurants in

They look like garden snails.

Well, that's it. You see, when the Italian vineyards set up their vineyards

here, they brought the snails with them to feed on the grape leaves.

Why would they want to do that?

Sunlight.

The fewer leaves, the more sunlight gets to the grape.

I'm developing a hybrid snail that will...

Eat twice as many leaves more quickly.

All this knowledge, and you can't even practice your profession.

I can see my vision clearly.

My father says it should be coming soon.

I can imagine my dream being created a hundred times.

Can I kiss you?

Luncheon is served.

I'm so happy that you could join us.

I'd like to talk to you.

You would?

I ran a check on your Harley.

I just want to be left alone.

Excuse us, huh?

I've got to find out who you are.

I'm nobody.

I just want to do what I have to do here and leave.

What exactly is that?

It's my bike and go.

Have I done something illegal?

Have dinner with me.

Is that like a proposition?

Sort of. You come out with me tonight, and I'll drop my investigation.

No more prod and no more poke.

You promise?

You confess me, I'm the police.

I'm not sure.

I'll be here at six.

Check.

And checkmate.

No one in this town has ever beaten me.

Not enough competition for you.

Or your painting.

My paintings.

Allow me to go from one invented world to another.

I'm not sure if that's shareable with anyone else.

I like them.

I learned a long time ago not to work on deceiving myself.

But you should cross open ground someday.

At least to try.

I think about it.

Anything wrong?

No.

You look great.

You know, I couldn't sleep last night.

I just lay there thinking of you.

I suck like a log.

The sound of the waves relaxes me.

If you liked me, I could tell.

You think so, Sheriff?

I'm usually right about these things.

There you go.

Strange crosswinds around here.

The view out there is incredible.

Can we go now?

You're not going to let me go, are you?

No.

Stop.

What are you going to do, call the cops?

If you force me now, it'll never happen again.

Smells good.

Feels powerful.

Yeah.

Be careful. That thing's loaded.

Is it dangerous?

Very.

Good.

Because if it wasn't dangerous, it wouldn't be fun.

to be a cop killer.

Let me put that away for now.

to you.

You know, when you were a little boy and

I thought that you weren't telling the truth, I

thought you were lying.

I think...

Look me in.

Look me in.

Hmm.

Hmm?

Mm -hmm.

It's Jezebel.

Stop that!

Don't you get any sleep?

What, are you afraid I'm going to lose out on my beauty sleep?

Don't make fun of yourself.

You startled me.

What happened to you?

Nothing.

Sometimes it's not so easy for me either.

Thank you.

You really want it?

More than anything.

Until it hurts.

Oh.

You said that.

What about your...

There. There now.

Mama make it all better.

Mama make it all better.

Hello. Good morning, Jezebel.

Have you decided?

Mm -hmm. Well, you have a powerful champion.

My wife here.

After yesterday's little incident, she tells me that this is not a good

environment for your cure.

It's okay.

I have to make money to fix my bike.

We'd like you to come and stay with us.

You'll perhaps do a few light duties. We will pay you whatever you're making

here. Hey, sweetheart.

How about some more coffee?

I'll get it.

Oh, Jezebel, this is no place for you.

I'll take good care of you.

Thanks.

You're also very kind.

What is it, dear?

Sure you want to go through with this? After all, you hardly know the girl. Oh,

well, Ben, she has had a bad accident.

And who is more capable of helping?

I've got work to do. Of course you do.

Don't you worry.

Nice to see you, Jezebel. Huh?

I fixed up this cottage for you.

I hope you like it.

What do you think?

It's lovely.

Thank you.

I don't know what to say.

Well, I've done interior design.

Never had much of a chance to use it on the house.

This cottage is a special project.

Steve's always had a common effect on me.

I hope that it will help you, too.

See, I grew you already.

Jezebel isn't here.

How do you know I didn't come to see you?

You know, Dan, women are like...

That's how I can only see through your bullshit.

Give me a damn beer.

What can I do to help?

No, no, no. Not tonight, Jezebel.

Tonight you're our guest.

Got one of those for me?

Get it yourself.

Sure is quiet around here.

Doesn't seem like a real pajama party without Jezebel.

I've got to talk to you.

There's nothing to talk about.

Come on, babe, I've got to see you open this damn thing.

For what?

Jess,

please.

How are you doing?

Just looking at the moon.

Yeah.

I'm on a little bed.

I'll be right there.

It's me, Hunt.

What do you want?

Please, I have to see you.

It's late.

I thought you turned Riley away.

I told you.

I hate him.

Please.

Hunt, you're going to get us both into trouble.

I don't care.

I love you.

You've got to have patience.

Hold on.

But it'll never happen again.

smell incredible i'm not wearing any

There's something I want to show you.

I have to finish these windows first.

They can wait.

What do you think?

What is it?

The new revitalized Davidson Beach Resort and amusement area.

complete with shopping mall, multiplex theaters, condominium.

There's even a carousel.

It certainly looks impressive.

But I think I like it as it is.

Small, charming, quaint.

You have to make the highest and best use of the land.

But I think that's what exists now.

It's so beautiful up here.

I don't think he understands you, Isabel.

I've been working on this thing for 15 years.

That's a long time.

I know.

Part of it was because there was someone that held a key piece of property to

the beachfront.

It wouldn't sell, no amount of money.

We offered him five times its value.

Did he finally sell to you?

Oh, yeah, yeah, sure.

Well, sort of.

he died.

But I lost six precious years in probates, even more battling the Coastal

Commission.

But now, now the town will be renewed.

I'm just gonna drive you in for your tests, huh?

Can't you take me?

I'd really like to hear about your project and your other plans.

All right, sure.

If you're interested, I'd like that, yeah.

I gotta see the Planning Commission anyhow.

I'll get ready.

Does that hurt? No?

Good.

Now don't be nervous.

I'm just going to plug in the machine and ask a few questions, okay?

They left out the last name.

I didn't use one.

Like Madonna?

Or Prince?

Well, we need it to bill your insurance.

The bill's already been paid.

Nothing.

Nothing. I'm just nervous, I guess.

Your history says that you were unconscious for several hours.

That's true.

What's the last thing you remember?

A pair of headlights bearing down on me out of the fog.

Yeah, well, that's okay. We'll just give them the papers.

Yeah, okay.

Listen, I gotta go. Yeah, I'll call you later. Bye -bye.

How long before we get the results?

In about ten minutes.

Good morning.

Where is everyone?

Well, your father took... Did you have the bill to get for Ted?

But I thought I was going to take her.

Make a day of it.

Well, you should wake up earlier, dear.

I've always told you that.

Now.

you want for breakfast? Nothing. I don't want anything.

There, there, there.

Well,

young lady, your brain scan shows you're perfectly normal. At least there's no

physical damage.

Thank God for that.

I think this calls for a little celebration.

I'm starving.

You're hungry? I think I know just the place.

It's a long time since I had champagne in the afternoon.

Thanks.

Why do you do that?

Why do I do what?

Cover your mouth when you laugh.

Like that.

Do I do that?

Yes.

When I was a boy, I had a badly chipped tooth.

And we didn't have any money for a cap or a replacement.

I remember I felt so ashamed.

So ever since then, when I smile or laugh, I cover my mouth.

I think that's cute.

Cute? Me?

Your teeth are beautiful now.

Here's to new memories for you.

To the kindest man I've ever known.

May I help you?

Want to choose something?

Pick anything you want.

I'll try the skirt in the window.

And maybe this top.

Well, you said the girl needed new clothes.

Of course she does.

How did it turn out?

She's just perfect.

Oh.

Then if you've been drinking.

We did have a glass of wine at lunch.

Put a little color in your cheeks, didn't you?

I'm going to put away these packages.

Okay.

Good night.

Good night. Good night, Jezebel.

You didn't tell me how things went at the planning commission today.

Oh, more of the same from those assholes.

What are you doing here?

Well, I came by to do something I never do.

And that's apologize.

Get out of here or I'll scream.

Oh, come on, baby.

You got an hour to get out of town.

Come here.

Come on, Ben. You're kidding.

You're finished, Riley.

After all these years, you don't do this.

You boys get out of here.

You're the woman's job. I'll take care of the dog.

You just left.

Oh, Jezebel.

You're going to be just fine.

Morning.

Hi.

I got up especially early.

Oh?

Kyle's got to be sure to see you.

Well, you called it your goal.

Can I see you tonight?

I'm sorry, Hunter.

You should have had patience.

It's just about you giving me what you thought. I mean, what happened between

us?

I told you not to.

So, now leave me alone.

This is the culmination of a dream that's taken over 15 years.

And it's our heartfelt desire that Paverson Beach and its residents

flourish in progress and prosperity.

God willing.

You got the scissors, hon? Thank you.

Okay, here we go.

Got a picture of that?

Up here?

I've been looking for you.

Couldn't you just throw up?

Let's get away from here.

Come help me fix my bike.

Okay. And then, Jeff.

Maybe.

You have a go.

Don't you worry, dear.

She'll be at the albatross with Margie.

Yes, Jezebel.

Well, just sit and wait.

What are you doing?

Oh, well, I'm trying to develop a way to read the future from the bottom of

a martini glass.

Kind of like tea leaves, you know.

What do you predict?

I should say, the day you're going to make your dream come true.

Well, I predict lots of money, money, money.

Money for us all.

It's not only my dream.

It's everyone's dream. The whole town's in on it.

That's right, Ben.

We're all in on it.

All of it.

Thought you were leaving town, Sheriff.

Well, Mr. Faberson, sir, you thought wrong.

My way of thinking, we're sort of partners, all of us.

You're crazy. You're drunk.

Well, both.

In fact, when that old man died, we became related by blood.

That was an accident.

Well, ma 'am, there's many degrees of accidents.

And even more degrees of murder.

Wait a minute.

That old man died of a heart attack.

Maybe he wasn't quite dead yet.

Somebody finished him off in the ambulance.

If we exhumed the body, who knows what a court of inquiry would find. What old

man? Squint.

So you see, Ben, I'm not going anywhere.

I waited a long time for this, and I ain't gonna be cheated.

What's wrong?

Look at you.

I was working on my bike. Yes, of course you were. Maybe we should all just go

home. Okay, good.

Good night, Virginia.

I'm going to go down to my lab.

Good night.

Congratulations.

No one said a word to me on the way home.

Did I do something wrong?

No, no, no, no.

Of course not.

Sometimes when you realize a dream, it falls short of your expectations.

Go away, Hunt. I told you to leave me alone.

It's me, Ben.

Are you all right?

I think so.

Can I come in?

Thank you.

I couldn't sleep.

I was thinking about you.

Beautiful night, huh?

That moon hitting the rocks.

Don't touch.

You'll love this.

Close your eyes. Feel tight.

Number one.

I'm going to change my life.

I'm going to travel. I'm going to see them.

Amanda?

Brady!

What the hell's going on here?

Oh, hi, hon.

I want her out of here, Ben.

I want her out of here now.

What are you talking about, huh?

Excuse us, Brady. Will you give us a minute, please?

Brady, stay here.

She'll do whatever I tell her to do, okay?

Brady, it's my jurisdiction.

Well, as long as I pay the bills, huh? Don't say it.

You have the gall to say that to me.

After I stood by you through it.

You have had your little fun.

Now get rid of her, Ben.

What the hell are you driving about?

I saw you, Ben.

I watched you go to the cottage.

And I saw you leave.

It's her.

I'm sorry, ma 'am.

Tell me.

Touch me.

Things sure are different since you came.

I've got to get on with my life.

Create something new.

It's so easy for you.

Easy?

Can't you see?

We're the same.

Yeah.

We're like two Siamese twins.

I just want to be left alone.

For Christ's sake, leave her alone.

It'll ruin it for me.

You have to.

Well, from what I gather, his daddy's fucking his girlfriend.

Jezebel?

You're kidding.

Ask him yourself.

Thank you.

Amanda!

Amanda, stop!

Stop! Come back!

Come back!

Yeah.

The bulldozers are finally moving.

I came back to this town to get rich, you know.

I don't even care anymore.

Success has no conscience, Virginia.

We killed that old man.

Is success worth living with that?

I operated scrupulously within the laws of my profession.

I had nothing to do with it.

What did you put on the death certificate?

Natural causes?

He was an old man and he had a heart attack.

It was that simple.

He was fine till we went out there and fucked with him.

These things have a way of coming back at you.

Put that between the walls.

Yeah. So come down here, Bruce.

Good.

We need to talk.

We never have before.

Ever since I was a kid, you've been content to order me around.

You reduced me to feeling like nothing until I finally hated myself.

You destroyed every dream I ever had.

This is the last time.

She was probably...

The one thing in the world I really wanted.

What have you got to offer?

Jezebel sees you as successful, wealthy.

But you sleep in my house. You eat my food.

You live off the trust fund that I created for you.

God.

You've always been a disappointment to me.

Why shouldn't she go after the real thing?

You sabotaged me when I was just a kid. You never gave me what I really needed.

You didn't have money to keep me alive.

I'm gonna kill you and set myself free once and for all.

Never had the courage to do anything.

And I know you don't have the guts to kill your own father.

Get the gun, Ben.

Ben!

Looks like your husband shot him.

leaving. I can't stay.

It's over for me here.

What will you do?

Where will you go?

Maybe I'll go back to my old job.

What's that?

I was a clerk at the cultural commission.

You're the only friend I ever had

He

shot

himself

I didn't mean for it to happen.

You up there?

Come on out, Ben.

Hold it right there, Dan.

Come on, Ben. You and I have to talk.

Okay. Put your gun up and come on in.

Look, Ben, I know it was an accident.

Come on downtown and answer a couple questions, and it's over.

The colors, the order.

I can see why they use them to tell the future.

It's not what we need to talk about, Ben.

No, I know.

I want what's mine, Ben.

You promised it to me 15 years ago.

And I want it in writing.

Sign this power of attorney.

Before I sign this.

That's exactly what you're gonna do.

It was you.

I should kill you right here.

Go ahead.

That's what you want.

Goodbye, Sheriff.

My baby, you gotta die.

You said we were the same.

Just a couple of signing twins.

She's gone.

Then he'll get back to normal now.

Wildflower from a burning sea.

Doctor's eye of a mystery Oh, Jezebel

There's a fire in her eyes

A hint of danger in her lies Oh,

Jezebel She'll kiss you once but

not again A broken heart

Stay away from Jezebel, my friend.

She'll kiss you once but not again.

She plays upon the hearts of men.

Her story's over to the end.
