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, man.

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.

[sighs]

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.

[softly] Shit.

What you doing?

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, okay?

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, uh, 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.
-MAN: Yeah, right.

Okay. 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...

[buzzing]

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.

[chuckles] 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, okay?

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 LA, 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, okay?

When I show up at her doorstep,

she's gonna drop everything
because we're gonna party.

Just sit there
and be a passenger.

♪ 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 playing over stereo]

[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 LA
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.

SUZETTE: 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.

[chuckles] 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.

[rattling]

I can't get the door to open.

Adios, killer.

WOMAN: Hannah,
sweetie, hurry up.

Everybody's waiting.

You look fabulous.

Look at this.
Yeah. That's great.

-Thank you, Dad.
-You look great.

-Thank you, Dad.
-Come on, sweetheart.

That's it. Come on.

That's your place right here.

Hurry up.

-Hi, hi, hi!
-That's everybody.

Here we go, everybody.
Close together now.

Back up. Get together.

-Hold it.

-Okay. 1, 2...

Hurry up. Hurry up.

-Move in.
-MAN: Look this way, guys.

WOMAN: Okay. 1, 2, 3.

Everybody this way.

Aww. All right.

Okay, come on.

Hurry up. Hurry up.

Aww, that is so pretty.

-Over the shoulder. I love that.

Have fun.

See you guys.

-She wants to go to the prom.
-There she goes.

-She looks so pretty.
-Aww, doesn't she?

WOMAN: 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.

Okay.

Thank you.

This is not appropriate.

You're invading my space.

I've created
my environment, Suzette.

I'm gonna fuck you, Harry.

Okay.

Hey, what's the deal?

Whoa, whoa.

Are you in some kinda
cult or something?

I'm calling security.

Hey, and what's...

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.

Looky here. [laughs]

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.

[laughing] 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 handjob.

-No.
-Oh, come on.

Harry, I am such
a good handjob 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.

[sighs]

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]

Oh.

[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?

-[loud thud]
-[screaming]

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.

[sighs]

Princess and the pea.

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

Hey, hey!

Come on, man.
People are trying to sleep.

MAN: Whoa! Oh!

Oh, Hannah.

-[Hannah groans softly]
-Hannah?

Hannah?

Uh-oh. What's she on?

Nothing. We just
had champagne.

Don't bullshit me.

She's on acid.

SUZETTE: Okay, just breathe.

Harry, get out of the way.

Out of the way.

Somebody get
a wet towel, please.

Is she gonna be okay?

Yeah. Just get the towel.

Come on, honey.
Just breathe.

Oh, when did she drop it?

2 hours, maybe.

2 hours. Man, she's gonna 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 okay.
-WOMAN: She looks really sick.

[Hannah groans]

Her mother is Vinnie?

-[door closes]
-Yeah.

Oh.

[sighs]

-[whimpers]
-I know, honey.

Just breathe.

-[retching]
-Ooh, all right.

-That's okay.
-[coughing]

SUZETTE: That's okay.

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.

Okay. All right.

-[coughing]
-Good girl.

-[sobbing]
-[shushing]

-Okay.
-Here.

Oh, thank you.

-[whimpering]
-[softly] It's all right, honey.

Just think of a nice blue sky.

[coughing]

HANNAH: Mom.

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

Just relax.

You're gonna feel better now.

[door closes]

[sighs] Come on. Let's go.

[groans]

Come on. Let's go.

Down here,
to the kids' wing.

What?

The kids' wing.

The wing?

Mm-hmm.

[barks]

Barkley.

Ba... [chuckles]

[laughs] Okay.

-Barkley.
-Hannah. Hannah.

The dog, take the dog.

-Barkley.
-The dog.

Um...

have you talked to my mother?

Hey. It's between you and her.

Come on, Barkley.
Get in there. Go on.

[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?
-SUZETTE: Yeah.

She's okay. She's in bed.

No, she is not.

She is not in bed.

It's her prom night,
and she was gonna

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.

Okay, 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.

People that
I associated with then,

yourself included, they're...

they're...

no longer part of
my current reality.

-Oh, fuck your current reality.
-Shh!

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 souptight.

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.

LAVINIA: Down.

Hannah. Hannah, wake up.

I need to talk with you.

Ginger.

This doesn't concern you. Out.

Close the door, please.

[quietly] Mom, I'm sleeping.

Well, you'll have plenty of time
to sleep after this.

I'm gonna 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.

[sighs]

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.

[water running]

[faucet squeaks]

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 gonna 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 gonna 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 gonna
shoot your father?

Not today. It's Sunday.

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, you 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 gonna, 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!

[spits] 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.

[screams] 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.
Just--

You better be here
to apologize

because you treated
me like the scum of the earth,

and if you think those
flowers are gonna

make me feel better,
you're sadly mistaken.

I'm gonna 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, okay?

'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 gonna be a banger sister?

-[laughing]
-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.

Oh.

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 gonna 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.

[groans softly]

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.

Okay.

Good morning, Mrs. Plummer.

Hey, you've got two
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.

Okay. 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.

Okay. 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.

And 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 gonna 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?

LAVINIA: 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.

GINGER: 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!

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

LAVINIA: Will you look
where you're driving?

[horn honks]

[exhales]

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?

-Mmm.
-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 'em,

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 gonna
say anything,

but they're too big.

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

[screaming] Mom!

Mom, he failed me
for no reason!

Oh, my God!
Gin, what happened?

Nothing! I just drove
like a normal person.

But he decided
to persecute me.

Sweetie, it says that you
ran a red light, honey.

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!

All right, 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 mean, 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.

We're not getting along.

[dog barking]

[pop music playing over stereo]

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 intensifies]

Hannah, turn the music off!

JULES: Oh, Hannah.
Yeah, Hannah.

[moaning]

-Yeah.
-[Hannah moans]

Hannah?

Hannah!

[Jules chuckles] Oh!

Break it up. Come on.
Break it up!

[screams]

[gasps] Oh, 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.

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?

[whirring]

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 somethin'.

-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.
-Oh. Oh.

-My husband.
-What are you gonna do with me?

Am I going to hide
in the closet or somethin'?

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.

-[Raymond humming]
-I'm a really bad liar, Vinnie.

Okay. Then just tell
the minimum amount of truth.

-That's all.
-Mm-hmm.

-Hi, honey. Hi.
-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?

Um, yeah, I saw
Country Joe and the Fish there.

Oh. [laughs]

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

I'm sure Lavinia
and I would love to
have you for dinner.

Please.
Stay for dinner.

-Sure.
-Good.

Cool.

Groovy.

I'm staying for dinner.

Yeah.

Is Mom's friend for real?

I don't know.

I don't care.

[sighs]

Get out of my room, okay?

All you ever do is eat,
and you're so skinny.

What's your problem?

[sighs]

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!

[exhales sharply]

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.

[both chuckle]

-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.

Yeah, 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 gonna 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.

Mm-hmm.

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?

-Babe?
-Babe?

We had very high standards.

Wait. Like, bands?

[laughing] Mom in a mosh pit?

[laughing]

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.

[snaps fingers] Vinnie. Vin.

Yeah, babe.

She danced.

That's what she did.
She danced.

Our mother?

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

But 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?

Uh, 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
Pyramid of the Sun.

Mom, you're being weird.

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]

[telephone ringing]

Suzette?

SUZETTE [on phone]:
Hey, 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.

I mean, it's, like, complicated
having all your shit together.

Well, you've made
progress since yesterday.

Yesterday, she didn't
even wanna see you.

That's great. It's terrific.

Yeah, I don't know.
So 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.

[snickers] Ebullient?

[laughing] 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, okay?

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.

That 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.

So, when are you coming home?

-Home?
-I mean back.

You know, to the hotel.

Um... Harry, listen to me,

write whatever
you want, you know.

Just dig it out
of yourself, babe,

because that's where it is.

It's all in there, okay?

Now, go for it.

See you later.

What is it?
I have no idea.

It's gonna be
a total surprise to you?

-Yeah.
-You don't even have a clue?

No!

Good.

-You ready?
-Yeah.

It is the...

TOGETHER:
Rock Cock collection.

[gasps]

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.

Well, say you lied.

-All right, I lied.
-Okay.

Now close your eyes.
The names are on the back.

I'm getting nervous now, Vin.

Guess who the first
Rock Cock is.

Ooh.

Roger...

Waters.

-Jimmy Page.
-Give me that.

-Are you kidding?
-And this one is...

-very veiny and...
-Jimmy? [squeals]

-Arlo Guthrie.
-Oh, no.

That's yours, babe.
You take that one.

-[chuckling]
-Look at this. 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, no.

-I'm gonna smoke this.
-You're not gonna do that.

Yes, yes, yes,
I am gonna do that.

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

It's so old.
How old is it?

Well, it's probably
younger than we are.

Huh?

[Lavinia and Suzette laughing]

Who is that?

-It looks ridiculous.
-Who is that?

To-do-do-doo!

-I don't know.
-Look at this little
guy peeking out.

-Jesus Christ!
-I told you...

[laughing]

[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.

-That's so kind of...
-[coughing]

-Looks like a nose or something.
-This is totally fucked up.

-Keith?
-Oh, my God! Oh, Suze!

-Oh! Oh!
-Oh, my God.

Oh, here.

Why didn't you
just put out the joint?

-Here. I'll help you.
-Don't hit me.

-[laughing]
-Oh, my God.

[fire alarm beeping]

Oh, my God.
We're burning down the house.

-RAYMOND: Lavinia! Lavinia!
-Oh, it's okay, honey. Yeah?

Oh, my 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 are you wearing?

What did you do to your hair?

She cut it. Do you like it?

-Lavinia, wh-wh-what--
-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.

-All right.
-[Suzette chuckling]

What do you mean,
that you were a groupie?

[laughing]

-SUZETTE: We...
-Sorry.

HANNAH: Oh, Dad, Mom,
where are you?

Oh, shit!

-What have I done?
-RAYMOND: Lavinia!

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

Here.

LAVINIA: Hi, honey.

Ah!

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 okay. Sit down.

I'm not injured,

except for the airbag
hitting me in the face.

-Oh, my God.
-You were driving
without a license.

Then why don't they
take me to jail?

-It would make more sense.
-No.

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.

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.

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: Yeah. 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?

-LAVINIA: Look, 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, Raymond?

She's telling me
what a shitty job
I'm doing as a mother.

This is a public place.

Oh. Well, what are you
so worried about, Raymond?

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?

[telephone ringing]

-Hello.
-Harry, listen, I'm coming back.

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

I'm going back to LA.

-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.

Hannah and Ginger
were really angry at me.

-They're not...
-[voice breaking] It's not them.

They were right, Vin.
I don't belong here.

I don't know where I belong.

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 fuck things up really good.

-I do that.
-No.

And you guys are
fighting and arguing.

-I lost it, 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...
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

that's not even worth
talking about.

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

[sniffles] Oh, Vin.

[sighs] My only claim
to fame is that

I let a zillion
zonked out musicians

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

[sniffles]

...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, okay?

I love you.

I love you, too.

1, 2...

TOGETHER: ...3, 4, 5,

6, 7, 8,

9, 10.

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.

[laughing]

Oh, man.

I wanna walk.

Okay. Where do you wanna go?

-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--
-Suzette, Suzette.

-Suzette, listen.
-I just feel... Yeah.

Now, focus. Where is his father?

Uh, he's in an old age home.

It was like something,

Something. All right, focus.

on him, Vin?

LAVINIA: 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.

[engine starts]

You lied to me, Harry.

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

Oh, 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--
-Oh, 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, Harry,

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.
-Well, 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.
-Ow.

-You're both insane.
-So true.

-I got it. I got it.
-Give me that.

[gun cocks]

What are you gonna do?

I'm gonna help you, Harry.

[gunshot]

Jesus!

[bird squawking]

That was your one bullet.

Go forgive him, Harry.

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

[exhales]

[gentle instrumental music
playing]

Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

Hmm.

[tires screeching]

Come on, Suzette. Hurry up.

-Hurry, hurry!
-I'm coming, I'm coming.

They may have already started.

Hi.

Come on.

Come on.
Suzette, come on. You, too.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

Put your shoes on, honey.
Yeah. Wait, wait.

Where are you going?
Where are you going?
Come on, come on.

You got it? Okay.

How about the other one?
You look great.

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 wanna 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 okay.

To the graduating class
of 2002...

Go.

Go into the world
and do it true.

Do it true.

Whoo!

[cheers and applause]

[students cheering]

-Honey, you rocked.
-All right.

So, now we're gonna go
back to the house.

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

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.

Oh, my God, you guys.

Yeah.
