WHEN I WAS LITTLE,

MY MOM AND I WOULD
WATCH THE WIZARD
OF OZ EVERY SUNDAY.

AND EVERY SUNDAY NIGHT,
SHE WOULD TUCK ME INTO BED

AND SING OUR FAVORITE SONG
FROM THE MOVIE.

IT WASN'T OVER THE RAINBOW
OR FOLLOW THE
YELLOW BRICK ROAD.

IT WAS THE SONG WHEN DOROTHY
APPROACHES EMERALD CITY
FOR THE FIRST TIME.

* YOU'RE OUT OF THE WOODS,
YOU'RE OUT OF THE DARK *

* YOU'RE OUT OF THE NIGHT

* STEP INTO THE SUN,
STEP INTO THE LIGHT *

...AND OPEN YOUR EYES,
AND LET THEM OPEN.

OPEN, OPEN.

TO ME THAT WAS
THE HAPPIEST SONG
IN THE WORLD.

LIKE NOTHING
COULD GO WRONG ONCE

DOROTHY GOT TO
THE GATES OF EMERALD CITY.

BUT THAT'S
THE THING ABOUT LIFE.

YOU'RE JUST
FLYING RIGHT ALONG
WITHOUT A CARE IN THE WORLD

UNTIL ONE DAY,
UNEXPECTEDLY, YOU LAND.

[tires screeching]

[glass shattering]

*[music playing]

* I THOUGHT I COULD TALK

[telephone ringing]

* REALITY *

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?

SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

I'M UP.

LISTEN, HE'S SLEEPING.

[birds chirping]

[laughing]

LISTEN.

[snoring]

[laughing]

HE'S SNORING.

[laughing]

WHEN ARE YOU GUYS LEAVING?

PRETTY SOON. VERY SOON.

OK, THANKS
FOR LETTING ME USE
YOUR CAR.

(Natalie)
JUST DON'T GET
ANOTHER SPEEDING TICKET, OK?

[giggling]

I'LL LET YOU GO.

THAT'LL BE THE DAY.

[giggling]
I LOVE YOU, MOM.

LOVE YOU.

[snoring]
OH!

[car horn honking]
(Adam)
SARA! SARA, HURRY UP!

ADAM, I'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.

*[Once in a Blue Moon
playing]

* ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

* SOMETHING GOOD COMES ALONG

I THOUGHT THAT YOU
WERE GONNA END IT
WITH HIM LAST NIGHT.

I DID. NOTHING WRONG
WITH A LITTLE BREAK-UP SEX.

COME ON.
OH, WHAT A TROOPER.

[laughing]
CAN YOU PLEASE
FIND US SOME TUNES?

I KNOW MY MOM'S GOT
TINA TURNER IN THERE.

THESE AREN'T TAPES.
THESE ARE FOSSILS.

CAROLE KING?
"THE BEST OF BARBRA"?

NOW HOW IS IT
YOUR MOM HATES ME

WHEN SHE, TOO,
IS CLEARLY A GAY MAN?

WANT SOME?

NO, IT'S NOT MY COLOR.

OH, RIGHT, OF COURSE.

ISN'T THIS HOW
JAYNE MANSFIELD DIED?

*[scatting]

GIVE US A KISS.

[exclaiming]
SARA, SLOW DOWN!

(Adam)
WHOA, WHOA.

[car horn honking]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA,

[Sara giggling]

OH, YOU'RE LAUGHING.
THAT'S GREAT.

* BUT WHEN YOU GET
THAT FEELING *

* NOTHING'S GOING TO TAKE
ITS PLACE *

* ONCE IN A BLUE MOON

* THERE'S A THING
CALLED HAPPINESS *

* IT HAPPENS WHEN YOU'RE IN

* A STATE OF NATURAL GRACE

* WHEN THE WIND IS BLOWING

* ALL AROUND THE FENCE

* I GET THAT HAPPY FEELING *

WE'RE HERE, SWEETIE.
ADAM, WAKE UP.

[birds chirping]

[snapping fingers]

SO YOU MADE IT.

HI, MRS. MOYLES.
PLEASURE TO SEE YOU.

IT'S OUR 7TH ANNIVERSARY
AT THE HOUSE, MRS. MOYLES.

WE BROUGHT YOU A PIE.

RASPBERRY.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO
WITH THAT? I'VE GOT DIABETES.

[cat meowing]

AND I'D APPRECIATE IT

IF FOR ONE DAMN SUMMER
YOU KIDS WOULD CLEAN UP

[both chuckling]
AND NOT LEAVE
MY HOME A PIGSTY.

OK, NO PROBLEM.

GOODBYE, MRS. MOYLES.

[car engine starts]

(Adam)
BYE!

(Sara)
BYE, SEE YOU IN A MONTH.

[laughing]

OH!

CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

WAS THAT A COCKROACH?
WHERE?

[laughing]

HMM. HOW DID WE MANAGE
TO FIND THE ONLY SLUMLORD
IN THE HAMPTONS?

*[music playing]

(Adam)
THOUGHT I MIGHT
FIND YOU UP HERE.

LIFE AT THE TOP IS GOOD.

GREAT VIEW.
CARE TO JOIN ME, SCAREDY-CAT?
MMM-MMM.

OH, COME ON.
NO.

(Peter)
HEY, ANYBODY HERE?

(Maddy)
SARA?
ADAM!

THEY'RE HERE.
SARA.

ALL RIGHT. ARE YOU GUYS HERE?
(Sara)
GO, GO, GO! GO, GO, GO!

(Maddy)
ADAM! SARA! HELLO?

SARA.
(Sara)
HEY, YOU GUYS.

HI. MADDY!

HOW ARE YOU?

ANOTHER SUMMER.

ADAM, HOW YOU DOING?
HOW ARE YOU?

STILL GAY. HOW ARE YOU?
PLACE LOOKS GREAT.
SMELLS GOOD, TOO.

STILL
A HEALTH-CODE VIOLATION.

HEY, SWEETIE.
SO GOOD TO SEE YOU.

(Adam)
HE IS BEAUTIFUL, REALLY.
HE GOT MOM'S GOOD LOOKS.

YEAH, GOOD THING.

TOO BIG.

HI!

[Sara laughing]
THAT'LL BE FOR ME.

[telephone ringing]

UH-OH, SORRY, YOU GUYS.

WHO'S THIS?

YOU LOOK SO GOOD.

SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

HI, MOM. ONLY BEEN HERE
A COUPLE HOURS.
WHAT TOOK YOU SO LONG?

I THOUGHT I'D GIVE
YOU A LITTLE SPACE.

SARA IS BACK THERE
PAYING HOMAGE TO THE
WICKED WITCH OF EAST JERSEY.

(Natalie)
I MADE HIM
YOUR EGG-WHITE OMELET.

HE WANTS TO SEE ME AGAIN.
I SAID YES.

WOW, HE MOVES FAST.
I KNOW.

UH, MOM, EVERYONE JUST
TURNED UP AT THE HOUSE.
CAN I-- CAN I CALL YOU BACK?

I LOVE YOU.

I LOVE YOU, TOO, MOM.
OK, BYE.

BYE-BYE.

OH.
(Sara)
SORRY.

HOW'S NATALIE?
STILL INTERESTING?

(Sara)
YES, OF COURSE.

YEAH, NOBODY WANTS
INTERESTING PARENTS.

PARENTS SHOULD BE
COMPLETELY BORING
AND STABLE.

[baby whining]
LIKE PETER AND MADDY HERE.

YEAH.
YES.

I AGREE.

THAT'S NICE.

SARA, THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR HAVING ME.
IT'S A PLEASURE TO BE HERE.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
OH, AND BEFORE I FORGET

I HAVE A, TA-DA,

[Maddy exclaiming]
BAYBERRY CANDLE.

IT'S GROSS, I KNOW.
IT'S ALL THEY HAD
AT THE TRAIN STATION.

DON'T FEEL BAD.
WE BROUGHT A RASPBERRY PIE
TO A DIABETIC, SO...

OH, YEAH.
COME IN. COME IN, GUYS.

[all laughing]

OK! I HAVE A QUESTION.
HOLD ON, I HAVE A QUESTION.

WHAT IS A NOTARY PUBLIC?

(Maddy)
WHAT?

(Shawn)
WHAT IS THAT?

(Peter)
THAT'S VERY GOOD,
I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS.

I KNOW WE ALL NEED THEM
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE.

THEY STAMP WHATEVER,
BUT WHAT ARE THEY?

HOW DO THEY GET
TO BE WHO THEY ARE?

I DON'T KNOW. I THINK THEY
GO TO SCHOOL FOR IT, THOUGH.

WHAT DO THEY LEARN IN
NOTARY PUBLIC SCHOOL?
STAMPING.

10 HUNDRED
THOUSAND JILLION THINGS
YOU COULD BE AND YOU'RE LIKE:

"I THINK I'LL BE
A NOTARY PUBLIC."

IT'S TRULY ONE OF
THE GREAT MYSTERIES
OF THE UNIVERSE.

YOU KNOW, KIND OF LIKE
WHY THE EARS AND THE NOSE

ARE THE ONLY THINGS
THAT KEEP GROWING.

AND THE ONE THING
THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP GROWING
JUST SHRINKS.

[all laughing]

IT MUST BE TERRIFYING,
GETTING OLD.

NO OFFENSE, BUT YOU'RE NOT
GETTING ANY YOUNGER.

YEAH, GUY,
LIKE YOUNG WAS LAST YEAR.
PIPE DOWN.

YOUNG WAS OVER 2 SUMMERS AGO.

WELL, THEN, I GUESS
I SHOULD JUST
STOP WRITING PLAYS

THAT ARE SET
IN MY PARENTS' REC ROOM.

NO. NO MORE PLAYS
STARRING SARA?

YOU KNOW, ADAM BASES
ALL OF HIS LEAD CHARACTERS
ON THE BEAUTIFUL SARA.

(Sara)
THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE
I MAKE HIM FINISH THEM

AND STICK THEM
IN THE MAILBOX.

(Adam)
THAT SOUNDS DIRTY.

(Maddy)
SO SWEET.

YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD
BE GOOD RIGHT NOW?

SKINNY-DIPPING.
(Maddy)
NO.

(Shawn)
COME ON.

NO.

[laughing]
(Shawn)
FINE.

FRO-Z-CONE.
FRO-Z-CONE.

WHAT IS FRO-Z-CONE?

*[music playing
in car stereo]

YOU HATE SHAWN.

OH, THAT IS RIDICULOUS.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
I HATE HIM A LITTLE BIT, TOO.

LOOK, THEN STOP PROJECTING.

HE'S CHARMING,
BUT HE'S KIND OF
AN OPPORTUNIST.

HE'S AN ACTOR/TELEMARKETER.

OH, GOOD.

BUT HE REALLY LIKES ME.

YOU COULD AT LEAST
PRETEND TO LIKE HIM.

I LIKE HIM. OK? I--

(Adam)
GOD KNOWS THAT
I HAVE PRETENDED TO LIKE

SOME OF THE LOSERS
THAT YOU HAVE BROUGHT
HOME OVER THE YEARS.

DO NOT COMPARE US.
I BRING HOME
LOSERS FOR GOOD REASONS.

WHAT GOOD REASONS?

WELL, IF THEY WEREN'T LOSERS,
I'D END UP MARRYING ONE.

AND THEN I'D END UP
STUCK IN THE TRI-STATE AREA

HAVING OBLIGATORY ORGASMS,

DEALING WITH CRYING BABIES
AND ARGUING OVER MORTGAGES

AND I DON'T KNOW
IF I'M READY FOR ALL THAT.

NO WONDER
YOU'RE NOT GROWING UP.

I'M GROWING UP.
I'M JUST NOT IN A HURRY.

HEY, WE'RE HERE.

FRO-Z-CONE.

FRO-Z-CONE.

SO FATTENING,
WE ALL HEAD TOWARD IT.

[Sara laughing]

LOOK, THERE'S BETTY.
SHE'S STILL HERE.

HI, BETTY.
UH, 3 PINTS, PLEASE.

STRAWBERRY, VANILLA,
AND CHOCOLATE.

WELL, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GET
2 QUARTS OF NEAPOLITAN?

SHE DOESN'T LIKE
HER FOOD TO TOUCH.

[laughing]

OK, DOES THE FACT
THAT BETTY HAS A BEARD

ALSO MEAN THAT
SHE HAS NO BEST FRIEND?

WHY?
BECAUSE YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND

AND IF I HAD
A BEARD LIKE BETTY'S,

YOU'D TELL ME
TO TRIM IT, RIGHT?
I WOULD.

THAT'S SAD.

BETTY HAS NO BEST FRIEND.

*[music playing]

*[Brown Eyed Girl
by Van Morrison playing]

*[humming]
HEY,
CHECK THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT.

* SO HARD TO FIND MY WAY

WHAT ARE THESE?

MAGIC MUSHROOMS.

GREAT WITH ICE CREAM.
PUT THEM IN YOUR
POCKET FOR LATER.

* JUST THE OTHER DAY

* MY, HOW YOU HAVE GROWN

(both)
* CAST MY MEMORY
BACK THERE, LORD *

* SOMETIME I'M OVERCOME
THINKING ABOUT *

* MAKING LOVE
IN THE GREEN GRASS *

* BEHIND THE STADIUM
WITH YOU *

* MY BROWN-EYED GIRL *

YOU KNOW,
I REMEMBER LISTENING TO THIS,

I'M SORRY, AND WONDERING,
"WHY, VAN, WHY?"

I COULDN'T GIVE A RAT'S ASS
ABOUT A BROWN-EYED GIRL.

OR A BLUE-EYED GIRL,
OR A GREEN-EYED GIRL.

EXCEPT FOR ME.

EXCEPT FOR MY SARA.

[tires screeching]

[alarm blaring]

[car horn honking]

* SO HARD TO FIND MY WAY

SARA.

* I SAW YOU JUST
THE OTHER DAY *

SARA.

* MY, HOW YOU HAVE GROWN

* CAST MY MEMORY
BACK THERE, LORD *

* SOMETIME I'M OVERCOME
THINKING 'BOUT *

* MAKING LOVE
IN THE GREEN GRASS *

* BEHIND THE STADIUM
WITH YOU *

* MY BROWN EYED GIRL *

[telephone ringing]
OH!

[sighing]
SORRY. SORRY, JUST A SEC.

HELLO?

(Carol)
YOU KNOW THOSE CONTRACTORS,

THE ONES I HIRED
AFTER THE PLUMBING?

YEAH. YOU KNOW WHAT, CAROL?

I CAN'T SPEAK RIGHT NOW.

IS SOMEONE THERE?

UH-HUH.

DOES HE HAVE A PENIS?

UH,

ACTUALLY,
I WAS ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

[laughing]

[telephone ringing]

WHY DON'T WE UNPLUG THE PHONE
FOR THE REST OF THE NIGHT,
HUH?

[sighing]

WHERE IS SHE?

[sniffling]

[sobbing]

THANK YOU FOR DINNER.

I HAD A GREAT TIME.

NATALIE,
I'D LIKE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

OH.

VERY, VERY SOON.

WELL,

YEAH.

BYE-BYE.

[telephone ringing]

[laughing]

[car phone ringing]

*[music playing]
SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

HONEY, WAIT, HOLD ON.

LET ME JUST TURN THE VOLUME
DOWN FOR A SEC HERE.

DOES YOUR LANDLADY KNOW
YOU'RE USING HER PHONE?

UM, MRS. SWERDLOW,
THIS IS PETER.

(Natalie)
WHO?

SARA'S FRIEND PETER.
YOU CAME TO OUR WEDDING?

SARA'S WEDDING?
(Peter)
NO, MA'AM.

OH, GOD.

[sobbing]
PETER, I'M KIDDING YOU.

OF COURSE I KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

YOU GUYS JUST HAD THAT BABY.

CONGRATULATIONS.

YEAH, BUT, UM,
I'M CALLING FOR A REASON.

WHAT'S THAT?

IS SHE IN HER CAR?

ARE YOU IN YOUR CAR?

WELL, I MEAN, YOU DID CALL ME
ON MY CAR PHONE.

MRS. SWERDLOW, I'M SORRY
TO HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS
BUT THERE'S BEEN AN ACCIDENT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, AN ACCIDENT?

WITH SARA?

MRS. SWERDLOW,
ARE YOU SOME PLACE
WHERE MAYBE YOU CAN PULL OVER

AND WE CAN TALK FOR A MOMENT?

WHY? I MEAN,
SARA'S, SARA'S OK, ISN'T SHE?

SARA'S ALL RIGHT,
RIGHT, PETER?

PETER,
WILL YOU PLEASE ANSWER ME?

SHE'S DRIVING.
MAKE HER PULL OVER.

JUST TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
FOR GOD SAKES, PETER.

WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?

SARA'S DEAD, MRS. SWERDLOW.

(Peter)
HELLO? MRS. SWERDLOW,
ARE YOU THERE?

HEY.

THE PHONE'S CUTTING OUT.

[tires screeching]

[horns honking]

[tires screeching]

[horns blaring]

THIS IS REALLY
DIFFICULT FOR ME.
MUCH HARDER FOR YOU, I KNOW.

BUT I'M NOT VERY GOOD
WITH DEATH.

WHAT ARE YOU
TRYING TO SAY, HARVEY?

OH.

I UNDERSTAND.

[breathing deeply]

[sobbing]

OH, NO, NO, NO!

YOU CAN DO THIS.

OK, BABY.

OK, BABY.

OK, YOU LOOK SO PRETTY.

[crying]

SO PRETTY.

(priest)
"BEFORE RESTFUL WATERS,
HE LEADS ME.

HE GUIDES ME IN MY PATH."

[birds chirping]

[birds chirping]

I'LL TELL YOU WHY
SHE DIDN'T WANT US
TO GO TO THE FUNERAL.

SHE HATES ME.

THAT'S NOT TRUE.

HER FRIEND SAID
IT WAS PRIVATE.
JUST FOR FAMILY.

AND THAT SHE MIGHT BE HAVING
SOME SORT OF
NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.

WHY AM I SMOKING?
I DON'T EVEN SMOKE.

JUST SIT DOWN, ADAM.

SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND.
YOU DON'T GENERALLY GET

A NEW BEST FRIEND AFTER 30.

THIS IS IT. IT'S OVER.
AND WE DIDN'T EVEN
GET TO SAY GOODBYE.

SHE WAS MY BEST FRIEND, TOO.

[crying]

I'M NOT GOING TO FALL
OFF THE ROOF FOR HER
AND BREAK MY NECK, OK?

SO JUST SIT DOWN, ADAM.

WHY DID I WANT THAT ICE CREAM

FOR THAT RIDICULOUS PIE?

YOU GOT TO STOP
BEATING YOURSELF UP.

IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT, MAN.

[seagulls cawing]

HELL, THERE'S NO SUCH THING
AS A SIN ON HOLIDAY.

HAS THIS KITCHEN BEEN CLEANED
SINCE THE HOUSE WAS BUILT?

UGH.

[exclaiming]

[laughing]
THERE HE IS.

[baby whimpering]

LOOK AT YOU. MAY I?

ACTUALLY, NO.
WE TRY NOT TO PASS
HIM AROUND TOO MUCH.

DO YOU WANT SOME LICORICE,
SUGAR?

YOU DO, DON'T YOU?

LICORICE IS SO
PERFECT FOR TEETHING.

NO. ACTUALLY,
WE'RE FOLLOWING UPBEAT BABY
BY DR. MELANIE BLANDISH.

AND SHE SAYS
ABSOLUTELY NO REFINED SUGAR
UNTIL HE'S 5.

THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

SARA TEETHED ON LICORICE
AND IT'S PERFECT, ISN'T IT?

IT'S SO HARD AND CHEWY.

THEY'RE NOT AS BREAKABLE
AS YOU THINK, MADDY. BABIES.

I MEAN, I SMOKED A PACK A DAY
DURING MY ENTIRE PREGNANCY.

IN ONE HAND,
I HAD A JAR OF CRUSHED PEAS

IN THE OTHER
AN UNFILTERED CIGARETTE.

I USED TO SMOKE
IN MY OBSTETRICIAN'S
WAITING ROOM.

AND THEY EVEN HAD ASHTRAYS.

IT DIDN'T HURT SARA.

CAN I SEE HER ROOM?

I WANT TO SEE HER ROOM.
WHERE IS IT, HUH? UPSTAIRS?

[baby squealing]

THIS...

[laughing]

THIS IS EVERYTHING?

WHERE'S HER DIARY, HUH?

(Peter)
WE HAVEN'T TOUCHED ANYTHING,
REALLY.

I THINK ADAM SLEPT HERE
ONE NIGHT,

BUT WE'VE KIND OF STAYED AWAY.

YOU SLEPT HERE?

LOOK AT ALL
THESE LANGUAGE TAPES.

A PH.D. IN
JAPANESE HISTORY, HUH?

THAT WAS GOING TO
GET HER REALLY FAR.

I WONDER WHICH ONE OF YOU
TALKED HER INTO THAT.

I MEAN, SURE.
TOKYO? YEAH, FOR A WEEK.

BUT TO SPEND A LIFE?

AND ALL THAT TEMPURA?

I MEAN, PLEASE.

OH, I KNOW I MUST
SOUND VERY PROVINCIAL
TO ALL YOU WESLEYAN GRADS.

BUT TRUST ME.

I'VE SEEN MORE OF THE WORLD
THAN ANY OF YOU HAVE.

CAN'T GET A DECENT
DESSERT IN JAPAN.

I MEAN, OK,
GREEN-TEA ICE CREAM?

[laughing]
SPARE ME.

[Natalie sighing]

GOD, BUT SHE WAS BEAUTIFUL,
WASN'T SHE?

YEAH. YEAH, SHE WAS...

[crying]

MAYBE, UH, YOU SHOULDN'T
DRIVE HOME TONIGHT,
MRS. SWERDLOW.

OH, I'M SURE YOU DON'T
WANT ME TO STAY HERE
WITH YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS.

BUT YOU LOOK SO TIRED.

YOU'D BE TIRED, TOO,
IF YOU HADN'T
SLEPT FOR 3 DAYS.

OH.

SO STAY.

SPEND THE NIGHT.

YOU TALKED ME INTO IT.

[sighing]

MRS. SWERDLOW,
I WAS HOPING I COULD HAVE
SOMETHING OF HERS.

LIKE WHAT?

I DON'T KNOW.
YOU KNOW, JUST...

NOT MUCH. SOMETHING SMALL.
A LITTLE MEMENTO.

I DON'T THINK SO.

YOU TOLD HER SHE COULD STAY?

WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO?
WHAT DO YOU SAY TO
A GRIEVING MOTHER?

"THANKS FOR SPARING ME
THE PAIN OF YOUR DAUGHTER'S
FUNERAL.

I'M SURE I WOULD'VE MADE
A SPECTACLE OF MYSELF,
LIKE YOU'RE DOING NOW."

(Maddy)
I DON'T KNOW
IF I CAN STAY HERE ANYMORE.

IT'S NOT THE SAME
WITHOUT SARA.

WHAT DO WE HAVE
TO GO BACK TO?
AUGUST IN BROOKLYN?

NO. THE GRIEVING MOTHER
IS NOT MOVING US OUT!

WE'RE STAYING, SHE'S GOING.

HELLO!

MRS. SWERDLOW.

MRS. SWERDLOW.

MRS. SWERDLOW?

MRS. SWERDLOW.

MRS.--
OH!

OH!

GOOD MORNING.

IT'S EVENING, ACTUALLY,
MRS. SWERDLOW.

I KNOW THAT.
IT WAS JUST AN EXPRESSION.

WELL,
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY GET UP.

YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING
FOR 2 DAYS AND NOT EATING

AND THAT CAN'T BE
VERY GOOD FOR YOU.

WELL, WHETHER IT'S
GOOD FOR ME OR NOT,

I DON'T THINK
IT'S ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS.

OK.

[door closing]

EW!

*[Japanese music playing]

*[singing in Japanese]

WHAT IS THE DEAL
WITH ALL THE CLEANING?

SHE'S LIKE
THE BRADY BUNCH MAID
ON SPEED.

SHE JUST LOST HER CHILD.

WHERE ELSE IS
SHE SUPPOSED TO PUT
ALL THAT MATERNAL ENERGY?

HOW ABOUT HER HOUSE
BACK IN JERSEY?

[laughing]

(Maddy)
MRS. SWERDLOW.

MRS. SWERDLOW!

WHAT? OH!

LISTEN,
YOU CAN JUST STOP CLEANING

[laughing]
'CAUSE WE LIKE, YOU KNOW,
THE MOLD AND STUFF. IT'S FINE.

I'M NOT DOING THIS FOR YOU.
I'M FINE.

I THINK WHAT
MADDY'S TRYING TO SAY IS--

LOOK, YOU GUYS.
I'M DOING WHAT
MAKES ME FEEL BETTER

AND IF YOU CAN'T STAND IT,
I'LL JUST LEAVE.

I MEAN, I'LL JUST GET
A JOB AT THE HOLIDAY INN.

I MEAN, IF YOU CAN'T STAND
A MIDDLE-AGED WOMAN

WALKING AROUND YOUR HOUSE
DOING WHAT SHE'S GOT TO DO,

THEN THIS JUST
ISN'T GONNA WORK.

NOBODY WANTS YOU TO LEAVE.
WE JUST WANT YOU--

THERE ARE MUSHROOMS
GROWING IN THE BATHTUB.

[laughing]

[baby gurgling]

LOOK, I CAN'T HAVE
HER JUST TURN AROUND

AND FIND OUT WE WENT OUT
TO THE BEACH WITHOUT HER.

JUST LEAVE HER ALONE, HON.
YOU KNOW, SHE'S IN
HER OWN LITTLE WORLD.

CAN'T SHE JUST FLY HOME
ON HER VACUUM CLEANER?

[Shawn laughing]

[sighing]

[man speaking Japanese
on tape]

[Natalie speaking Japanese]

MRS. SWERDLOW?

(Natalie)
A BAD WIFE.

MRS. SWERDLOW.

OH!

SORRY, SORRY.

HEY, WE'RE GONNA
GO TO THE BEACH, OK?

WE'LL BE BACK THIS AFTERNOON.

OH, WELL,
THAT SOUNDS LIKE A BLAST.

YOU GONNA BE OK?

WHAT? I CAN'T COME?

WELL, YOU KNOW,
WE DIDN'T WANT TO BOTHER YOU.

WE'RE JUST GONNA, UM,
GO GET OUR FEET WET
AND WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

YOU DON'T LIKE TO TALK
ABOUT YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH SARA, DO YOU?

[mumbles]

THERE'S NOT MUCH TO SAY,
REALLY, YOU KNOW.
OH, CUT THE CRAP, PETER.

EXCUSE ME?

I KNOW WHAT WENT ON
BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU.
DID YOU THINK I DIDN'T?

I KNOW YOU

[whispers]
SLEPT TOGETHER.

NO, WE NEVER SLEPT TOGETHER.

MAYBE SLEEP IS THE WRONG WORD
FOR COMMITTING ADULTERY.

I DON'T KNOW
WHERE YOU GOT THAT,
BUT IT'S WRONG.

DOES MADDY KNOW?
YOU DON'T KNOW.

OH, YES, I DO.

THERE'S HARDLY ANYTHING
IN SARA'S LIFE
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT.

[sighing]

IT'S GOT TO BE TOUGH
ON YOU, PETER.

YOU CAN'T TELL ANYBODY
HOW YOU REALLY FELT, CAN YOU?

BUT YOU CAN TELL ME.

I WON'T BE A SECOND.
JUST LET ME CHANGE.

SHE'S COMING.

YOU INVITED HER?

WHAT, AM I THE ONLY ONE HERE
WITH ANY MANNERS?

OK, YOU GET
THE BOY SCOUT MERIT BADGE

FOR COUNSELING
GRIEVING DIVORCEES.

WILL YOU STOP BEING
SUCH A LITTLE BITCH?

ALL SET!

OH!

MAYBE YOU SHOULD THINK
ABOUT WEARING SOMETHING ELSE.

WHY? WE WERE THE SAME SIZE.
IT ALL FITS.

IT'S A KIMONO.
OF COURSE IT FITS.

OH!

WELL, NATALIE, I'LL GO
WITH YOU IF YOU DON'T WANT
TO GO BY YOURSELF.

NO, WE CAN ALL--
WE CAN ALL FIT IN THE TRUCK.

COME ON, MRS. SWERDLOW,
YOU CAN RIDE UP FRONT.

NO. I'LL TELL YOU WHAT,
YOU KIDS GO ON AHEAD.
ADAM AND I WILL CATCH UP.

THERE'S PLENTY OF ROOM.

I DON'T THINK SO.
I THINK ADAM AND I
WANT TO TALK.

WELL, I'LL RIDE WITH YOU
IF YOU TAKE THAT OFF.

(Natalie)
YOU SHOULD KNOW, I'M KEEPING
HER HAT ON FOREVER.

THE BEACH
IS IN THE OTHER DIRECTION.

I'M SURE IT IS.

[sighing]

I SAW A JUNKYARD
ON THE WAY IN.

IS THAT WHERE YOU'RE
GONNA HIDE MY BODY?

YOU'RE VERY QUICK-WITTED.
IS THAT FROM BEING GAY?

OBVIOUSLY.

[Adam grunting]

IS THERE SOME REASON
YOU WANT TO TORTURE
YOURSELF WITH THIS?

I'M NOT TORTURED.

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO
CAN'T CLIMB A FENCE.

OW, OUCH.

JESUS.

GOD.

OW!

WHAT IF THE DRIVER
CAME FROM
THE OTHER DIRECTION?

DID YOU EVER
THINK ABOUT THAT?

YOU ACTUALLY THINK
I HAVEN'T CHEWED
MYSELF UP ABOUT THIS?

OH, I WOULD, IF I WERE YOU.

I MEAN,
I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY

I'M WALKING THROUGH HERE,
AND NOT YOUR MOTHER.

BECAUSE MY MOTHER
WOULDN'T COME
LOOKING FOR HER CAR.

I BET SHE'D SURPRISE YOU.

WELL,
I WOULDN'T REALLY BE AROUND
TO BE SURPRISED,

WOULD I, IF I WERE DEAD?

LOOK, MRS. SWERDLOW,
I FEEL GUILTY, OK?

I AM RACKED WITH GUILT.

YOU WANT ME TO BE DEAD
INSTEAD OF SARA.

I WANT ME TO BE DEAD
INSTEAD OF SARA.

THAT WE AGREE ON,
BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY ANSWERS.

I DON'T WANT
ANY ANSWERS FROM YOU.

WELL, ACTUALLY,
YOU KNOW WHAT?

[sighing]

I DO.

FINE.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE?

IT WAS LIKE BEING MURDERED
AND FINDING OUT YOU SURVIVED.

I WASN'T ASKING ABOUT YOU.

WHAT WAS IT LIKE FOR SARA?

[gasping]

[sighing]

WOULD YOU TIE THIS ON FOR ME?

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

[seagulls cawing]

WE FOUND SARA'S CAR.
I MEAN, MY CAR.

AND LOOK. LOOK WHAT I FOUND.

SARA'S NECKLACE.
IT'S HER NECKLACE.

(Shawn)
IT'S GORGEOUS.

DIDN'T JOHNNY GIVE HER THAT?
NO.

YES, HE DID.

WAIT, WHICH ONE WAS JOHNNY?

JOHNNY, REMEMBER?
THEY BROKE UP?

RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT.
WHAT DID SHE SAY
WAS WRONG WITH HIM?

[laughing]
EVERYTHING.

NO, NOT EVERYTHING.

DON'T YOU REMEMBER?
HE WAS THE GREAT LAY.

[Natalie and Maddy laughing]

SHE SAID IT.

ANYHOW, HE WAS THE GUY
WHO LOOKED LIKE
A BRONTOSAURUS.

HE HAD THAT REALLY HUGE HEAD
AND THOSE REALLY HUGE TEETH.

HE WAS THE KIND OF GUY,
HE LOOKED LIKE HE COULD
JUST RIP YOU APART

AND SNACK ON YOU, YOU KNOW?

AND HE HAD THOSE
REALLY HUGE MUSCLES

ALWAYS BURSTING
OUT OF HIS SHIRT.

(Peter)
THE GUY WAS
TOTALLY INTO HIMSELF.

SARA TOLD ME SHE WAS GLAD
WHEN HE WENT AWAY
TO BRITISH COLUMBIA.

[baby gurgling]
SHE DIDN'T TELL YOU THAT.
I TOLD YOU THAT.

SARA WOULD
NEVER TELL YOU THAT.

SHE TOLD ME STUFF.
ACTUALLY, WE HAD SECRETS.

YOU DID NOT HAVE SECRETS.

WELL, PERSONALLY,
I DON'T BELIEVE IN SECRETS.

(Adam)
SECRETS ARE A NECESSITY.

THEY'RE LIKE A WARM BLANKET
YOU HIDE UNDER WITH A FRIEND.

WHAT A NICE METAPHOR.

SHE DID KEEP THAT DIARY,
THOUGH, AND I CAN'T FIND IT.
HAS ANYONE FOUND IT?

IT'S PROBABLY
AT HER APARTMENT
BACK IN THE CITY.

UH-UH. NO, I LOOKED THERE.
I COULDN'T FIND IT.

IT'S PROBABLY FOR THE BEST,
YOU KNOW.

[laughing]
I MEAN, I WOULDN'T WANT
MY MOTHER TO READ MY DIARY.

SARA DIDN'T HAVE
ANYTHING TO HIDE.

OH, WELL, MAYBE I DO.

OH.

[laughing]
WELL?

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

YOU'RE BLUSHING.

IT MUST MEAN SOMETHING.

IT'S NOTHING.

WHY ARE YOU ACTING
SO GUILTY THEN?

WE KISSED, OK?

SARA AND I.
WE FOOLED AROUND
IN COLLEGE.

WHAT? WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

[laughing]
WHAT PART OF "WE FOOLED
AROUND" DON'T YOU GET?

DID YOU HAVE SEX?

I DON'T KNOW.

WHY DO YOU CARE?

DID YOU?

LISTEN, THIS WAS A LONG TIME
BEFORE I MET YOU, PETER.

IT WAS EARLY FRESHMAN YEAR,
AND WE WERE REALLY DRUNK.

DID YOU HAVE SEX?

DID YOU?

WHY ARE YOU FREAKING OUT?

YOU DID.

OH, THAT'S GREAT.

(Maddy)
YOU JUST GOT SAND
GREAT.

...ALL OVER THE BABY.

NICE, PETER.

(Shawn)
I'M SORRY ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER.
THANKS.

YOU KNOW,
I LOST MY BROTHER
3 YEARS AGO.

OH, I'M SORRY.

AIDS?

NO.

NO?
NO.

IT'S KIND OF IRONIC,
ACTUALLY.

MY STEPMOM HAD CANCER,

AND THEN HE O.D.'D
ON HER OXYCONTIN.

OH, MY GOD.

AND THEN SHE DIED.
IT'S A WHOLE MESS.

NEEDLESS TO SAY,
I HAVE A FEW
COMMITMENT ISSUES.

(Natalie)
BUT YOU AND ADAM
ARE GOING STEADY.

[both laughing]
WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU
LAUGHING ABOUT?

GOING STEADY? NO.

NO?

NO. I MEAN,
YOU KNOW, WE'RE TIGHT.

WE'RE GOOD FOR EACH OTHER.
ESPECIALLY IN PUBLIC.

WE'RE BOTH TALENTED,
WE'RE GOOD-LOOKING,

HE'S FAMOUS,
I'M AN UP-AND-COMING ACTOR
WITH A LOT OF BUZZ.

I JUST GOT A CALLBACK
FOR MAMMA MIA!

OH, CONGRATULATIONS!

BUT YOU HAVE
COMMITMENT ISSUES, HUH?

SHAWN, DO YOU SLEEP AROUND?

WHAT THE...
I GET HIT ON MORE.
RIGHT.

AND I'M MORE SEXUAL.
I'M MORE OF A PIG, ACTUALLY.

[both laughing]
REALLY?

AND SOMETIMES I JUST HAVE TO
TAKE CARE OF THAT, YOU KNOW?

IT'S NOT CHEATING.
(Natalie)
YEAH.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN DATES.
IT'S JUST SEX.

OH, NO, NO.
I UNDERSTAND.

YOU'RE NOT GONNA
TELL ADAM THOUGH,
ARE YOU?

HMM.

NO.

IT'LL BE OUR LITTLE
WARM BLANKET, RIGHT?

COME ON.

HEY, YOU.

DID YOU HAVE A NICE CHAT?

(Shawn)
I LOVE HER.

(Maddy)
YOU'RE JUST BEING SILLY.

WOW.

OH, THAT'S MINE.

WELL,
THIS IS HER DIARY, ISN'T IT?

YEAH, CAN I HAVE IT?

THE ONE HER MOTHER
WAS LOOKING FOR?

WHY DIDN'T YOU SAY ANYTHING?

WELL, ARE YOU GOING
TO GIVE IT TO HER?
I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, I THINK SARA
WOULD WANT ME TO HAVE IT,
DON'T YOU?

KNEW IT.

OUT OF CLEANING SUPPLIES.

I NEED TO RUN AN ERRAND.
COME ON, LET'S GO.

COME ON.

YOU'RE PRETTY GOOD
WITH YOUR BABY.

MOST MEN ARE TERRIFIED.

SARA DIDN'T TELL ME
YOU WERE A CHAUVINIST, TOO.

WHAT DID SHE SAY?

[laughing]

TELL YOU WHAT.

LET'S TRADE COMPLIMENTS.

I'LL TELL YOU
WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT YOU

IF YOU TELL ME
WHAT SHE SAID ABOUT ME.

SHE SAID YOU WERE
ALWAYS THERE FOR HER.

THAT WASN'T SO PAINFUL,
WAS IT?

PETER,

I WANT TO KNOW
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED
BETWEEN YOU AND SARA.

I WANT TO KNOW
IF YOU LOVED HER.

THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.
YES, IT IS.

MADDY HAD BEEN IN CHICAGO
FOR ALMOST A MONTH

ON THIS CASE
FOR HER LAW FIRM.

SARA INVITED ME
OVER FOR DINNER.

SUSHI.

THE WHOLE JAPANESE THING.

SHE LOOKED LIKE A GEISHA.

YEAH.

I LOOKED AT HER.

AND I KISSED HER.

AND SHE KISSED ME BACK.

IF WE'D SAID ANYTHING,
NOTHING WOULD HAVE HAPPENED,

[inhaling]

[sighing]
BUT WE DIDN'T, SO IT DID.

ONCE.

OH, DON'T WORRY.

PETER,
I WOULD NEVER TELL MADDY.

OH, SHE WOULD NEVER
FORGIVE ME.
OH, SHE MIGHT.

AND ANYWAY, I'M NOT
TRYING TO THREATEN YOU.
IT'S JUST THAT

TALKING ABOUT SARA,

IT'S THE ONLY WAY I HAVE
OF KEEPING HER ALIVE.

I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

SHE SAID
YOU HAD BEAUTIFUL EYES,

[laughing]

LIKE LITTLE SWIMMING POOLS.

AND YOU DO.

YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE SHE SAID?

NO, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I BETTER NOT SAY THAT.

WHAT? NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.
TELL ME.

SHE SAID THAT
YOU WERE THRILLING IN BED.

SHE SAID THAT?
SHE SAID THRILLING?

OH, YEAH.

[dogs barking]

[screaming]

GET OUT! GET OUT!

(Maddy)
NATALIE?

PETER, WHAT'S HAPPENING?

WHAT HAPPENED?

ADAM, WHAT ARE YOU DOING
IN HERE?

HE'S SLEEPWALKING AGAIN.

[baby crying]
WHAT? I DIDN'T KNOW
PEOPLE ACTUALLY DID THAT.

THAT'S THE BABY.

OK. UM, ADAM, COME BACK.

BUT I DON'T WANT
TO GO TO THE PARTY.

HUH?

OH.

HIS PRODUCER'S GOING
TO BE AT THE PARTY TOMORROW.

HE'S NERVOUS ABOUT IT.

DON'T WORRY.
IT'S GOING TO BE OK.
JUST, UH...

WAKE UP.

HE CAN STAY. I'M UP.

[sighing]

HEY. HEY, ADAM, IS THIS FOR
REAL OR ARE YOU JUST TRYING
TO SCARE HER AWAY?

WHO?

[screaming]

OH, HONEY.

WHY DON'T YOU LET HIM
PLAY A LITTLE BIT?

I DON'T WANT HIM
TO GET WORKED UP.

HE NEEDS TO SLEEP.

WHY CAN'T HE PLAY?

LOOK AT HIM. HE'S WIDE AWAKE.

HERE, LET ME TAKE HIM
FOR A MINUTE, OK?

YOU JUST LET ME TAKE HIM.

LET ME TAKE GORGEOUS.

HELLO, THERE.

LOOK AT THIS BABY.
ARE YOU GORGEOUS?

HELLO THERE.

YOU ARE SPECIAL.

YOU'RE SPECIAL.

YOU'RE SO NATURAL WITH HIM.

WELL, I'VE HAD PRACTICE.
LOOK AT YOU.

LOOK AT YOU, GORGEOUS.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW?

LOOK AT YOU,
GORGEOUS LITTLE BOY.

OH, GOD! I'M JUST SO WORRIED
ALL THE TIME

THAT SOMETHING'S GOING
TO HAPPEN TO HIM, YOU KNOW,

LIKE I'M GOING TO DROP HIM
ON HIS HEAD.

NOTHING IS GOING TO HAPPEN
TO HIM. NOTHING.

DR. BLANDISH SAYS
YOU CAN NEVER LET YOUR CHILD
OUT OF YOUR SIGHT.

DR. WHO?
BLANDISH.

I'VE BEEN READING
THIS BOOK EVERY DAY

AND I JUST FEEL LIKE
I SHOULD PRACTICALLY

GIVE DUNCAN AWAY
TO FOSTER PARENTS,

'CAUSE SOMETHING AWFUL
IS GONNA HAPPEN.

I JUST KNOW IT IS.

OK, LET ME SEE THIS BIBLE
OF MOTHERHOOD.

OK.

ALL RIGHT.

WHAT DO YOU THINK, DUNCAN?

IS THIS

THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING
YOU HAVE EVER SEEN

IN YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE,
HUH?

SHE'S JUST TRYING
TO SCARE THE CRAP
OUT OF YOUNG MOTHERS.

AND FRANKLY,
YOU KNOW WHAT SHE'S DOING?

SHE'S SUCCEEDING.

YOU KNOW WHAT I THINK?

DR. MELANIE BLANDISH
CAN JUST GO SAVE HERSELF.

THAT'S RIGHT.

I MEAN, HONEY,
IF YOU WANT TO LEARN
HOW TO RELAX,

JUST LOOK AT HIM. ENJOY HIM.

OH, FOR GOD SAKES,
JUST ENJOY HIM.

THIS IS THE FUN PART.

LOOK, SWING HIM IN THE AIR.

SWING HIM IN THE AIR.

[chuckling]
SWING HIM IN THE AIR.

SWING HIM IN THE AIR.

I HEARD THEY GET
BABY WHIPLASH.

THAT IS ABSURD. NOW, HERE.

I WANT YOU TO TAKE HIM.

TAKE HIM. GO ON, TAKE THIS
BEAUTIFUL TREASURE. GO ON.

SWING HIM IN THE AIR.
TWIRL HIM AROUND.

COME ON, MADDY,
YOU CAN DO BETTER THAN THAT.
GO ON. TWIRL HIM AROUND.

YEAH, THAT'S IT.
THAT'S WHAT HE LOVES.

[chuckling]

IS THAT FUN?

MRS. SWERDLOW,
MMM-HMM?

DO YOU THINK PETER
WILL FORGIVE ME

FOR KEEPING THAT SECRET
FROM HIM?

OH, I THINK HE JUST MIGHT.

[laughing]

STOP! STOP!

OK, PUT IT DOWN.

OUCH! ENOUGH.

OOH! WHOOPS, CAUGHT ME.

CAUGHT YOU WHAT?

READING YOUR PLAY.

MY PLAY? WHAT,
DID YOU GO INTO MY ROOM?

I WAS CLEANING IT.

WELL, YOU HAD NO RIGHT
TO DO THAT.

THIS ONE ISN'T AS FUNNY
AS THE LAST ONE.

IS IT SUPPOSED TO BE?

PROMISE ME
YOU WON'T GET TOO DARK
ALL OF A SUDDEN.

DON'T GET LIKE WOODY ALLEN DID
IN INTERIORS.

ALL SERIOUS
AND SELF-CONSCIOUS

AND TRYING TO BE
A SCANDINAVIAN.

YOU WOULDN'T PULL
A SCANDINAVIAN NUMBER
ON ME, NOW, WOULD YOU, ADAM?

GIVE IT TO ME.

AND WHAT'S WITH
THE BEARDED LADY CHARACTER?

TOO WEIRD.
I MEAN, YOU GOTTA CUT
THE BEARDED LADY.

WELL, I HAPPEN TO LIKE
THE BEARDED LADY.
CAN I HAVE IT BACK?

I'M NOT FINISHED.

WELL, I DIDN'T SAY
YOU COULD START.

WELL, IF I HAD ASKED,
YOU WOULD HAVE SAID NO.

COME ON, ADAM.

I PROMISE TO SAY
3 NICE THINGS

FOR EVERY SLIGHTLY
NEGATIVE COMMENT.

I MEAN, YOU WANT FEEDBACK,
DON'T YOU?

IT'S OVERDUE, ISN'T IT?

IT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
WHAT IT IS.

YOU CAN'T JUST TAKE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
IT'S PERSONAL.

[birds cawing]

THIS ONE'S ABOUT MY DAUGHTER,
TOO.

(all)
* 3 LITTLE MAIDS WHO,
ALL UNWARY *

* COME FROM A LADIES'
SEMINARY *

* FREED FROM
ITS GENIUS TUTELARY *

* 3 LITTLE MAIDS
FROM SCHOOL *

[sighing]

(Maddy)
YES, SING, DUNCAN. HELP.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

[giggling]
OH.

GETTING READY FOR THE PARTY.

WE'RE STILL GOING, AREN'T WE?

CAN I TALK TO YOU
FOR A MINUTE?

SHAWN!

[sighing]

HEY! WATCH IT.

WE ARE NOT GOING.

LOOK, I'M NOT GOING IN DRAG.
RELAX.

I WAS JUST TRYING
TO CHEER HER UP.
IT'S SARA'S.

YOU GOING TO RIP IT.

IT'S NOT EVEN ZIPPED,
AND BESIDES,
NATALIE MIGHT WEAR IT.

WHAT?
SHE THINKS SHE'S COMING?

YEAH. WHY SHOULDN'T SHE?

HOW DO I LOOK?

ARE THERE GOING TO BE
ANY CELEBRITIES HERE?

LIKE THE PAGES
OF VANITY FAIR.

I CAN'T DO THIS.

YOU CAN AND YOU MUST.

NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
THE ONLY REASON
WHY MEL INVITED ME,

ME, NOT MY TAG-ALONG POSSE,
WAS TO SCHMOOZE
THE MONEY PEOPLE.

MY BACKERS ARE THROWING
THIS PARTY.

THEN GO HOME.

I NEED A DRINK.

WHAT AM I GONNA TELL HIM,
YOU KNOW?

I CAN'T WRITE ANYMORE?
MY MUSE IS DEAD?

SARA WAS THE ONLY PERSON
IN THE WORLD THAT I TRUSTED

TO TELL ME WHAT WAS FUNNY.

WHO AM I GOING
TO BE FUNNY FOR NOW?

YOU CAN BE FUNNY FOR ME.

*[music playing]

[people chattering]

[gasping]

OH! DON'T MIND IF I DO.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.

[laughing]

CHEERS.

AND THE LIMESTONE COMES
FROM MICHELANGELO'S QUARRY...

COULD YOU EXCUSE ME
FOR JUST A MINUTE?

DO I KNOW YOU?

OH, I'M WITH ADAM GOLDMAN.
I'M HIS GUEST.

(Mel)
YOU CAME WITH ADAM.

UH-HUH.
I PRODUCED HIS FIRST PLAY.

IT WAS A HIT, VERY FUNNY.
AND FUNNY IS MONEY.

HI, MEL.

YOU BROUGHT
THE WHOLE HOUSEHOLD, I SEE.

SO ARE YOU ALL STAYING
AT THE HOUSE?

I'M MEL WOLF.

I'M SORRY, THIS IS NATALIE.
MEL'S MY PRODUCER.

NICE TO MEET YOU.
MMM-HMM.

MR. WOLF.

SHAWN HUDSON.
SO NICE TO MEET YOU, FINALLY.

THIS IS SUCH A BIG DEAL
FOR ME. I LOVE YOUR WORK.

AND I ALSO HAPPEN TO BE
KIND OF A GREAT ACTOR--

AND A SINGER, TOO.

WELL--
HE SINGS. IS THERE A PIANO?

PLEASE STOP.
HE WOULD LOVE
TO SING FOR YOU.

NO, I COULDN'T DO THAT.

REALLY.

HE SINGS AND PLAYS THE PIANO
SO BEAUTIFULLY.

HE GOT A CALLBACK
FOR MAMMA MIA!

THE ROAD TOUR.
WOW.

WELL.

NATALIE, ARE YOU A LOCAL?
THESE DON'T SEEM LIKE
YOUR BRAND OF RUFFIANS.

NO, I'M JUST THE DEN MOTHER.

YOU MUST'VE HAD THEM
IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.

OH, WELL, IT'S NOT THE YEARS,
MEL. IT'S THE MILEAGE.

NATALIE'S SARA'S MOTHER.

OH, I--I'M SO SORRY.

NO, THAT'S OK.
IT'S JUST, UH...

EXCUSE ME, I NEED A REFILL.

AND LISTEN, REALLY,
I WANT YOU TO SING FOR HIM.

NO, I COULDN'T DO THAT.

YES. YOU'LL LOVE IT.
THE WANDERING MINSTREL?

YES.

* A WANDERING MINSTREL I,
A THING OF SHREDS
AND PATCHES *

DID I MAKE AN ASS OF MYSELF,
OR WHAT?

* A DREAMY LULLABY *

YOU WANT TO MAKE CONTACT
WITH MELVIN WOLF

SO THAT HE'LL CAST YOU
IN ONE OF HIS
BROADWAY MUSICALS?

WOULD THAT BE SO BAD?

YES. ACTUALLY,
IT'S HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE.

HE WAS JUST TRYING
TO INTRODUCE HIMSELF.

EXCUSE ME.

YOU'RE NOT HIS AGENT,
AND YOU'RE NOT HIS MOTHER.

YOU KNOW WHAT?
LIKE I NEED YOUR PRODUCER.

AND WHAT WERE YOU SAYING
TO MEL?

WERE YOU SABOTAGING
MY NEXT PLAY?

YOU KNOW,
NOW THAT SARA'S GONE

MAYBE YOU SHOULD TRY
FOCUSING
ON YOUR PERSONAL LIFE.

SHE WAS MY PERSONAL LIFE.
SHE WAS EVERYTHING TO ME.

TO THE EXCLUSION
OF ALL OTHERS.

TO THE EXCLUSION
OF YOUR FRIEND SHAWN.

OH, YES, I GET IT.

AND MAYBE THAT'S WHY
HE'S SLEEPING AROUND ON YOU.

SORRY.

THE HOSTESS SAID
I COULD CHANGE DUNCAN
IN HERE.

WHERE IS EVERYBODY?

OUT ON THE TERRACE.

SHAWN BROUGHT
SARA'S MUSHROOMS

AND THEY'RE GOING
TO GET HIGH.

SARA'S MUSHROOMS?

MMM-HMM.

YOU KNOW. MUSHROOMS.
SHROOMS. MUSHROOMS--

MADDY?

YOU KNOW, LIKE HALLUCINOGENS.

LIKE L.S.D.,
BUT THEY'RE NATURAL.

I DON'T DO THEM ANYMORE.
LAST TIME I DID THEM

I SAW MY DEAD GRANDPARENTS
AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

AND THEN PUKED FOR 4 HOURS.

SARA BROUGHT THEM?
THEY WERE SARA'S?

YEAH, SHE BROUGHT THEM
TO THE HOUSE.

(Adam)
LOOKING GOOD?
YEAH.

MMM-HMM.

SHE WANTS TO TRY MUSHROOMS.
WHAT?

NO WAY.
YES.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?
UH-HUH.

SHE'S BEEN LOOKING
FOR YOU GUYS EVERYWHERE.

THERE'S ENOUGH TO GO AROUND.
I DON'T SEE WHY NOT.

WHAT'S WRONG
WITH YOU PEOPLE, HUH?

WHY WOULD YOU GIVE MUSHROOMS
TO THAT WOMAN?

SHE'S NOT "THAT WOMAN."
SHE'S MRS. SWERDLOW.

(Maddy)
YOU GUYS, SHE'S HOPING
TO SEE SARA.

I THINK IT'S ONLY FAIR
WE LET HER TRY, RIGHT?

WHY? DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH THAT?

YES,
I GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT.

AND SO DO THE REST OF US.
SHE'S NOT OUR FRIEND.

SHE'S SARA'S MOM.
SHE'S A GROWNUP.

YEAH, SO ARE YOU,
OR AT LEAST
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE.

IF 30 ISN'T GROWN-UP,
WHAT IS? 40? 90?

[sighing]

WHERE ARE THE MUSHROOMS?
I WANT ONE.

OH, KNOCK YOURSELF OUT,
NATALIE.

OH, I WILL.

ENJOY.

[groaning]

I LOVE IT. I LOVE IT!

OH, WOW!

*[music blaring]

[people laughing]

[whooping]

EXCUSE ME,
AREN'T YOU ADAM GOLDMAN?

THE GAY NEIL SIMON?

WE JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU
HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOUR WORK.

OK.

COME AND DANCE. COME ON.

* GET UP, GET DOWN,
GET UP, GET DOWN *

* GET UP, GET DOWN,
MOVE IT ALL AROUND *

[Natalie sighing]

OH, GOD.

LOOK UP THERE.

IT'S LIKE IT'S SKYWRITING
IN THE CLOUDS.

[Natalie exclaiming]

[inhaling]

(Sara)
SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

[Natalie gasping]

CAN YOU SEE IT, PETER?

IT SAYS "SURRENDER DOROTHY"
IN THE SKY.

THAT'S FROM
THE WIZARD OF OZ, RIGHT?

I DON'T GET IT. WHAT IS IT?

THAT WAS OUR MOVIE.

THAT WAS OUR GREETING.

I DON'T SEE IT.

IT'S THERE. IT'S THERE.

SURRENDER, DOROTHY.

I THINK IT'S THE DRUGS,
MRS. SWERDLOW.

NO.

NO, IT'S--IT'S NOT. IT'S...

(Natalie)
YOU SEE?

CAN'T YOU SEE?

NO.

NO. IT JUST--JUST WENT
AWAY LIKE...

[crying]

IT'S NOT THERE ANYMORE.

[dogs barking]

[speaking Japanese]

[all speaking Japanese]

TO SARA.

(all)
TO SARA.

(woman on tape)
WHERE IS THE BUS STOP?

[woman speaking Japanese]

[repeating in Japanese]

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS?

DO YOU LIKE--

HOW CAN YOU GO ALONG
WITH THIS?

WE'RE JUST TRYING
TO REMEMBER HER, ADAM.

NO, YOU'RE NOT.
YOU'RE MAKING FUN OF HER.

(Maddy)
HEY.

HEY, HEY, HEY,
YOU'RE JUST TRIPPING, GUY.

(Maddy)
YOU'RE SO PARANOID.

THIS IS SO DESPERATE.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW
THESE PEOPLE.

I DON'T EVEN
KNOW THESE PEOPLE
LIKE I THOUGHT I DID.

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED
TO MEAN?

(Shawn)
HEY. HEY, HEY, ADAM,
ADAM, ADAM, STOP IT!

STOP IT, ADAM.
CALM DOWN.

HEY, ADAM!

(Peter)
STOP IT, ADAM.
WHAT?

STOP IT, ADAM.

(Maddy)
PETER! DON'T.

[grunting]

YOU GUYS, COME ON.

GET OFF OF HIM.

ADAM.

TURN DOWN THE NOISE!

THIS IS A FAMILY NEIGHBORHOOD.

ADAM! HEY, ADAM. ADAM!

I WONDER IF MRS. MOYLES
KNOWS WHO SHE'S RENTING TO.

SORRY.

SUMMER PEOPLE.

[crickets chirping]

[water rushing]

[gasping]

SARA.

SARA!

(Natalie)
OK.

AH, HEY!
SORRY.

AH!

HEY.
WAIT, THERE.

NATALIE.
YES.

I KNOW YOU, UH...
WHAT?

I KNOW YOU ASKED ME
IF I WAS IN LOVE WITH SARA.

I THINK YOU HAD THIS IDEA
THAT WE HAD SOME
BIG ROMANTIC THING,

BUT, UM, BUT IT WASN'T.

IT WAS--

IT WAS DESPERATE AND STUPID.

THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE SAID.

WELL, IT WAS. WE WERE DRUNK.
YEAH.

IT WAS OVER
BEFORE IT STARTED.

WE BOTH FELT LIKE CRAP.

AND THEN
WHEN SHE FOUND OUT
SHE WAS PREGNANT--

EXCUSE ME?

DID YOU SAY PREGNANT?

[baby crying]

YOU DIDN'T KNOW.
I'M SORRY. I THOUGHT
SHE WOULD'VE TOLD YOU.

HEY, IT'S OK, GUY.

DID SHE HAVE AN ABORTION?

OH, OK.

I PAID FOR IT.

OH, BUT THAT WAS VERY NOBLE
OF YOU, PETER.

WE NEVER TALKED
ABOUT IT AGAIN, OK?

IT WAS LIKE
IT NEVER HAPPENED.

WERE YOU WITH HER?
DID YOU GO WITH HER?

SHE WOULDN'T LET ME.

YOU MEAN, SHE WENT ALONE?

GOD!

HUH?

SWEETIE, I'M SORRY.
I'M SO, SO SORRY.

I'M SO, SO SORRY.

(Natalie)
DON'T CRY. DON'T CRY,
SWEET BABY.

DON'T CRY, LITTLE DUNCAN,
MY BOY.

I'M SORRY.

DID YOU KNOW?

ARE YOU OK?

NO. SHE NEVER SAID
ANYTHING ABOUT PETER.

MADDY, NO.

BUT YOU KNEW
ABOUT THE ABORTION?

I DID, BUT...

I'M SORRY.

I DIDN'T KNOW THE DETAILS,
I SWEAR.

WOULD YOU HAVE TOLD ME
IF YOU HAD?

IF I KNEW ABOUT PETER?

UM...

NO.

I DON'T THINK SO. I'M SORRY.

NO. OF COURSE NOT. OF COURSE
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TOLD ME,

BECAUSE YOU AND I,
WE'RE NOT REALLY FRIENDS,
ARE WE, ADAM?

I MEAN, NOT REALLY.

LOOK, I DIDN'T KNOW.
I SWEAR TO GOD.

WHAT?

(Peter)
WHAT, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT DID I MISS?

WHAT DID YOU MISS?

(Peter)
YEAH.

(Natalie)
SWEETHEART...

WHAT DID YOU MISS?

[groans]
YOU MISSED THIS, YOU ASS!

YOU SLEPT WITH HER?

YOU HAD SEX
WITH MY BEST FRIEND
AND YOU GOT HER PREGNANT?

MADDY.

AND SHE HAD AN ABORTION?

MADDY.

STAY OUT OF THIS, ADAM.

YOU JUST STAY OUT OF IT.

NONE OF US
WOULD BE HERE RIGHT NOW
IF IT WEREN'T FOR SARA, OK?

SO JUST STAY OUT OF IT.

AND I SWEAR TO GOD
IF ANY OF THIS ENDS UP

IN THAT STUPID LITTLE PLAY
OF YOURS...

WE BOTH SLEPT WITH HER.

SO WHAT? SO WHAT?

STUPID.
I WASN'T MARRIED THEN.

I HADN'T MET YOU YET.

YOU STUPID IDIOT!

DON'T FOLLOW ME!

SHE JUST HAD TO HAVE IT ALL,
DIDN'T SHE?

SHE JUST HAD TO CROSS PETER
RIGHT OFF HER LIST.

WHAT?
SARA!

MADDY.

SHE HAD TO HAVE SOMETHING
ON EVERYONE

JUST SO YOU COULDN'T GO
TOO FAR AWAY.

MADDY, I...

GIVE HIM TO ME.

OH, GIVE HIM TO ME.

SHE ALWAYS HAD TO HAVE
ALL OF THE ATTENTION.

AND I'M NOT SURPRISED,
BECAUSE LIKE MOTHER,
LIKE DAUGHTER.

OH, SO THAT'S IT?
YOU JUST GET TO DRIVE AWAY?

WHAT DO YOU THINK?
"I'M SORRY" IS GONNA DO IT?

WELL, I DIDN'T APOLOGIZE,
DID I? DID I?

OK, LOOK, I AM SORRY, MADDY.
OK?

I'M SORRY.
I'M REALLY SORRY. OK?

DON'T DO THIS. MADDY. MADDY!

[gasping]
WHOOPS.

*[Japanese song playing]

THERE YOU ARE.

[Mel clearing throat]

HELLO.
OH!

HELLO. GOD.
HI.

OH, I'M SORRY.
I GOT YOU ALL WET.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
NOW I'M BAPTIZED.

[birds chirping]

*[humming]

SO, YOU HERE TO CRACK
THE WHIP ON ADAM?

WELL, ACTUALLY MY--MY MOTIVES
ARE ENTIRELY DUPLICITOUS.

HOW REFRESHING.

I WANT TO TAKE YOU
OUT TO DINNER.

WELL, THAT'S VERY SWEET
OF YOU.

I'M NOT QUITE READY.
THANK YOU, THOUGH.

SO, TELL ME.
WHAT'S THE NEW PLAY ABOUT?

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW.

DEATH.

YOU'RE TRYING TO KILL ME,
IS THAT IT?

BECAUSE YOU KNOW,
I WENT FOR A STRESS TEST
LAST WEEK, AND I FAILED IT.

SO YOUR DEATH PLAY
BETTER HAVE A LITTLE
HUMOR ATTACHED TO IT.

IT WILL.

HE GAVE YOU HIS HEAD SHOT?

WHAT'S HE GONNA DO,
SLEEP WITH YOU NEXT?

HE'S AN ACTOR, BUDDY.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

I'LL GIVE IT
TO MY CASTING DIRECTOR.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT
HIS CLAIM TO FAME IS?

HE UNDERSTUDIED THE FORK
IN BEAUTY AND THE BEAST.

HE'S USING ME TO GET TO YOU.

ADAM, IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
I GET THIS ALL THE TIME.

[grunts]

(Adam)
YOU GAVE THIS TO HIM
WITHOUT MY PERMISSION.

(Shawn)
WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION?

[laughing]
WHAT?

YOU DO NOT TELL ME
WHAT I CAN AND CANNOT DO,
ALL RIGHT?

NO, SHAWN, ACTUALLY,
IT'S NOT ALL RIGHT.

SOMEONE NEEDS TO.

[door slamming]
WHAT IS THE PROBLEM NOW?

THE PROBLEM IS THAT
I AM NOT A FAN OF BEING USED.

OH, JUST CALM DOWN, ADAM.

THIS IS A VERY CUTE PICTURE.

DON'T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN.

YOU DO NOT KNOW
WHAT'S GOING ON.

YES, I DO.

YOU'RE HAVING A MELODRAMATIC
SNIT FIT.

MELODRAMATIC?

PLEASE. I'M NOT THE ONE
GOING AROUND HAVING SEANCES
FOR MY DEAD DAUGHTER.

I'M IN MOURNING.
I'M GRIEVING.

WE'RE ALL GRIEVING.

NO, I'M SORRY, ADAM.
IT'S NOT THE SAME.

I'M THE MOTHER
AND YOU'RE NOT EVEN FAMILY.

OH, WHAT, I'M JUST THE FRIEND?

NO, YOU'RE JUST THE THIEF
IS WHAT YOU ARE.

SARA NEVER EVEN
HAD A BOYFRIEND
THAT LASTED 6 MONTHS

BECAUSE WHAT MAN
IN HIS RIGHT MIND
WOULD STICK AROUND

WITH SOME FAIRY
MINCING AROUND
IN THE BACKGROUND.

IF YOU REALLY
TRULY LOVED HER--

ARE YOU MAD AT ME
BECAUSE I DIDN'T SLEEP
WITH HER?

SHE WANTED TO HAVE KIDS,
AND SHE WANTED TO BE MARRIED.

NO, SHE DID NOT.
THAT STUFF SCARED HER
TO DEATH, AND I WONDER WHY.

NO. SHE COULD'VE BEEN
WITH SOMEBODY

AND SHE
MIGHT'VE KEPT THAT BABY
IF IT WEREN'T FOR YOU.

YOU PROBABLY TALKED HER
INTO IT.

I TALKED HER INTO NOTHING.

ALL I DID WAS TAKE HER
TO THE DOCTOR,

I TOOK HER HOME,
I PUT HER IN HER BED.

SHE CAME TO ME, NATALIE,
DO YOU SEE?

SHE CAME TO ME.

NOBODY ASKED YOU HERE.
WHY DID YOU COME?

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I HAD TO SEE
WHERE MY LITTLE GIRL
WASTED HER TIME.

THIS DISGUSTING HOUSE
AND YOU RIDICULOUS KIDS.

SITTING AROUND GETTING DRUNK,
PRETENDING LIKE
YOU'RE STILL IN COLLEGE.

SHE'D STILL BE ALIVE!

SHE NEVER WOULD'VE GOTTEN
IN THAT CAR

IF SHE HAD ANY OTHER
DECENT PLACE TO BE.

BUT SHE HAD NOTHING.

SHE HAD YOU!

SO WE DIDN'T HAVE THE LITTLE
"SURRENDER, DOROTHY" SHTICK.

DOES THAT MEAN
I DON'T GET TO FEEL ANYTHING?

LOOK, I UNDERSTAND
IT'S THE HARDEST THING
IN THE WORLD TO LOSE A CHILD.

DON'T GIVE ME
YOUR PLATITUDES.

YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT LOSING A CHILD.

YOU'RE RIGHT. YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DIDN'T LOSE A CHILD.

BUT I LOST
THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON
IN MY LIFE.

ARE YOU JUST ABOUT DONE?

LEAVE.

JUST LEAVE.

I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE!

DID NATALIE SAY SOMETHING
ABOUT ME? ABOUT US?

OF COURSE SHE DID.

SHE'S LIKE A NEUTRON BOMB.

WIPE OUT THE PEOPLE,
AND LEAVE ALL THE BUILDINGS.

LOOK.

I WANT TO BE HERE FOR YOU
BUT I CAN'T DO THAT
IF YOU CONTINUE--

THEN STOP SLEEPING AROUND.

WELL,
I'LL STOP SLEEPING AROUND

IF YOU START SHOWING
SOME PASSING INTEREST
IN MY INNER LIFE.

I SHOW PASSING INTEREST.

LOOK, I KNOW I'M NOT
A JAPANESE PH.D SCHOLAR,
ALL RIGHT, BUT...

WELL, I AM IN ANALYSIS
TWICE A WEEK.

I WANT WHAT YOU HAD
WITH SARA.

I--I WANT YOU TO WRITE FOR ME.

I WANT YOU TO BE FUNNY FOR ME.

ADAM. ADAM, GET DOWN.
ADAM, PLEASE.

ADAM, LET'S TALK
ABOUT THIS INSIDE.

YOU'VE MADE YOUR POINT.

ADAM, THE ROOF ISN'T SAFE.

[yelling]
WOULD YOU... ADAM!

ADAM?

[laughing]

[snoring]

SHE'S SNORING.

SHE'S SLEEPING.

SHE HATES ME.

[door shuts]

[moans]

[exclaiming]

[gasping]

OH, MY GOD!

THANK YOU, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, WHOEVER FOUND IT.

[chuckling]

IT'S IN JAPANESE?

[clinking]

(Natalie)
OK, SO...

ANY METHOD?

OH, OH.

YOU HUNGRY?

MADDY, I AM SO SORRY.

I AM SO SORRY.

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

YOU HAVE TO KNOW
I ONLY EVER LOVED YOU.

WE LOVE EACH OTHER, RIGHT?

I JUST WANT TO LOVE YOU.
I JUST WANT TO LOVE YOU,
TOO.

[people chattering]

YOU BEEN MARRIED A LOT?

NO, JUST THE TWICE.

MMM.

YOU LIKE BEING SINGLE?

LIKE?

I TOLERATE IT. I LIKE...

I LIKE TO BE AROUND PEOPLE.
I LIKE TO KNOW ABOUT THEM.
MMM-HMM.

I GUESS THAT'S WHY
I DO WHAT I DO.

ANYWAY, WHAT DO YOU DO?

I'M A TRAVEL AGENT.

YOU LIKE TO TRAVEL?

I LIKE TO GET THERE.

HERE YOU ARE.

YEAH.

OH, EXCUSE ME. HI.

UM, DO YOU SPEAK JAPANESE?

[speaking Japanese]

WELL,
COULD YOU READ THIS, PLEASE?

IT'S MY DAUGHTER'S
AND I CAN'T MAKE HEADS
OR TAILS OUT OF IT.

WOULD YOU JUST LOOK AT IT?
THANK YOU.

THIS IS PERSONAL.

THAT'S OK. SHE WON'T MIND.

IT IS VERY PERSONAL.
NOT POLITE.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
IT'S LIKE EROTIC
OR SOMETHING?

STEAMY. YES.

WELL, IS THERE SOME PART
THAT YOU COULD READ
THAT ISN'T STEAMY?

IT'S HER DIARY, NATALIE.

SHE PROBABLY
PUT IT IN JAPANESE
SO YOU COULDN'T READ IT.

WELL, I OUTFOXED HER,
DIDN'T I?

UH, HUH, HUH.

UH,

"I CANNOT BREATHE.

"I KNOW THE RIGHT THING,
BUT I CANNOT DO IT.

"I SHOULD RUN AWAY.

"I SHOULD LEAVE HER,
BUT THAT WOULD BE CRUEL.

"IT'S TERRIBLE,
BUT I SOMETIMES THINK

"MY ONLY WAY
THAT I WILL GROW UP

"IS WHEN MY MOTHER IS DEAD.

"THEN I WON'T HAVE
TO LISTEN TO HER.

"I WON'T HAVE TO
CONFIDE IN HER.

"I COULD MAYBE BE MYSELF.

"INSTEAD,
I HEAR HER WHEREVER I GO.

"I CAN'T ESCAPE HER.

"PLEASE LET ME GO, MOTHER.

LET ME TRY ON MY OWN."
STOP!

[gasping]
NATALIE?

[crying]

[birds chirping]

YOU WANT TO ORDER?

LADY?

UH, SMALL CUP OF VANILLA,
PLEASE.

98 CENTS.

MY DAUGHTER
USED TO COME HERE.

SHE CAME HERE
THE NIGHT SHE DIED.

SHE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT.
MAYBE YOU REMEMBER HER?

SHE WAS VERY PRETTY
AND SHE WAS

MY LITTLE GIRL.

THIS WAS THE LAST PLACE
THAT SHE CAME TO.

THIS WAS IT.

OH, SHE--SHE CAME HERE
WITH HER BOYFRIEND, RIGHT?

NO, NOT HER BOYFRIEND,
BUT HER BEST FRIEND.

COULD I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

DID SHE SEEM HAPPY THEN?

SHE--SHE DID. THEY BOTH DID.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

PETER,

I THINK THAT...

I THINK THIS IS WHAT
YOU WANTED?

YEAH. THANK YOU.

(Maddy)
OH, MY GOD.

AND, MADDY,
THIS IS FOR DUNCAN.

THE REAL BIBLE OF MOTHERHOOD.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THIS IS GREAT.

SHAWN--
NO.

JUST IN CASE YOU DO
THE MIKADO

NATALIE, PUT IT AWAY.
...AT LINCOLN CENTER.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

IT'S BEAUTIFUL.

[sighing]

I GUESS THERE'S NOTHING
IN THAT BAG FOR ME.

UM...

TAKE HIM. LET'S GO.
I'LL LOAD THE TRUCK.
WELL, OK.

NO.
YES.

NO.
YES.

I HOPE YOU CAN USE IT
FOR YOUR NEW PLAY.

[sighing]

ADAM,

I'M SO SORRY.

I'M REALLY SORRY
THAT I WANTED HER
ALL TO MYSELF.

I'M SORRY THAT SHE HURT YOU.

SHE NEVER DID, EVER.

SHE LEFT YOU, DIDN'T SHE?

SHE LEFT ALL OF US.

SHE DIDN'T MEAN TO, THOUGH.

SHE REALLY DIDN'T MEAN TO,
SWEETIE.

SHE WAS JUST

[sighing]

A FRAGILE LITTLE GIRL.

SHE WAS THE ONLY THING
I EVER LOVED
IN MY WHOLE LIFE.

ME, TOO.

I KNOW.

[sighing]

SO WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO NOW?

I WAS THINKING
I MIGHT TAKE SOME TIME OFF
AND GO TO JAPAN,

BUT I DON'T THINK SO.

I THINK

I SHOULD LET SARA
HAVE SOME PLACE

ALL TO HERSELF,
DON'T YOU THINK?

YES.

YEAH.

BUT FOR NOW,
I HAVE TO GO HOME.

[rings]

GOT IT.

READY!

[laughing]

(Adam)
I'LL BE BACK.

(Peter)
WE'LL ALL BE BACK.

(Natalie)
AFTER THE WIZARD OF OZ
ONE NIGHT, WHEN SARA WAS 7,

SHE ASKED ME WHAT I THOUGHT
IT WAS LIKE FOR THE LION,

THE TIN MAN,
AND THE SCARECROW

AFTER DOROTHY LEFT THEM IN OZ
AND WENT BACK HOME TO KANSAS.

DID THEY MISS HER?

COULD THEY REALLY BE HAPPY?

HOW COULD THEY FACE
THE REST OF THEIR LIVES
KNOWING

THEY'D NEVER SEE HER AGAIN?

I EXPLAINED TO HER
THAT DOROTHY WAS A GIFT,

THAT THEY KNEW THAT

AND THAT THEY HAD
TO KEEP HER ALIVE
IN THEIR HEADS AND HEARTS

AND FACE THEIR FUTURES
WITH NEWLY-FOUND COURAGE.

* YOU'RE OUT OF THE WOODS,
YOU' RE OUT OF THE DARK,
YOU'RE OUT OF THE NIGHT *

* STEP INTO THE SUN,
STEP INTO THE LIGHT *

* KEEP STRAIGHT AHEAD FOR

* THE MOST GLORIOUS PLACE

* ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH
OR THE SKY *

* HOLD ON TO YOUR BREATH,
HOLD ON TO YOUR HEART,
HOLD ON TO YOUR HOPE *

* MARCH UP TO THAT GATE

* AND BID IT OPEN *
