So, what's your name?

[SIGHS]

Talkative. I like that.

How's your day going?

Yeah.

Dinner tonight?

Are you asking me out?

Yes.

I'm not going on a date with you.
You're 12.

-You're funny. I'm 15.
-[LAUGHS]

How old are you?

You're not supposed to ask that.

You're not supposed to ask a
girl how old she is. Annoying.

You're right. It doesn't matter to me.

How are you gonna pay for dinner?

If I say yes and we go on a date
for dinner, how are you gonna pay?

-You say everything twice.
-[LAUGHS]

-I don't say everything twice.
-You do.

What is this "say everything twice"?

Come on. How are you gonna pay?

Do you go to the movies?

Of course I go to the movies.

-Did you see Under One Roof?
-Yeah.

You're looking at Tony.

There's, like, a million kids in
that movie. I don't know a Tony.

I want you to have dinner
with me, not my work.

I'm not trying to brag, but you did
ask how I was gonna pay for dinner.

Mmm, you're such an actor.
You're such an actor.

What else have you been in?

-This House is Haunted.
-No.

-Two Beds, Two Baths.
-Mm-mmm.

I've done three sketches
on The Merv Griffin Show.

-Did you see me on…
-All right.

Don't list your whole résumé. It's braggy.
I'm not going on a date with you, man.

You're 15.

"Man."

I like that.

"Kid." How about that?

I'm not going on a date with you, kid.
You're 15.

Don't call it a date. It's not a date.
Just come say hello.

I like the way you look.

-I like talking with you.
-[SCOFFS]

-Where do you live?
-Encino.

[CLEARS THROAT] Encino?
I live in Encino. Where in Encino?

-On Hatteras.
-Hatteras and what?

Ugh! Creep. "Hatteras and what?
Hatteras and what?"

-I'm not telling you where I live.
-I'll be at the Tail o' the Cock tonight.

-I don't care where you'll be.
-I go Thursday for dinner.

Where are your parents
while all this is happening?

They're working. Just come say hi.

ALANA: Just shut up.

GARY: I'll tell you what I'm doing.

I take my brother Greg to Tastee-Freez
around 6:30. He's in bed by 7:30.

Wait, you go all the way from
Encino to Tail o' the Cock for dinner?

-I live in Sherman Oaks.
-Oh, come on.

I take my brother Greg to Tastee-Freez
around 6:30. He's in bed by 7:30.

I slip around the corner to
Tail o' the Cock for my dinner.

That's where I'll be.
I'm not trying to pressure you.

You are pressuring me. You are.
That's what you're doing.

If you wanna come and say hello,
if it's convenient within your plans,

-I'd love to see you.
-[SCOFFS]

Convenient within my plans?
Wait, you leave your brother alone?

How old is he?

He's eight. Nine.

[GIGGLES] You're hilarious.

You can't even keep
your own stories straight.

What are you? You're like a little
Robert Goulet, Dean Martin or something.

-Where'd you come from?
-Sherman Oaks.

[CHUCKLES] Huh! Sherman Oaks.

-Hi, Alana.
-Hi, Cindy.

Did you know we got
a big movie star here?

Gary Valentine.

Your name is Valentine?

Valentine.

-CINDY: Should I get an autograph?
-Don't bother.

I've been right here the whole time.

I get this feeling I was
meant to know you, Alana.

You know I'm 25, right?

I could be your friend,
but I can't be your girlfriend.

-That's illegal.
-You give me hope.

This is fate that brought us together.

-This is fate.
-Shut up.

Card.

Anyway, I'm trying to
spend my time with you.

-Is that bad?
-Stop that.

Turn your legs around.
Not too down. Look up, look up.

Uh, close your mouth just a little bit.

Just see a little bit of teeth.
Little bit of teeth. Go on, like a tiger.

And off it. Go on. Next. Next.

How have I never seen you before?
How have we never met?

Stop talking so much, slimy.

We'll see. I doubt it, but we'll see.

Now I gotta get back to work
and you have to get back to class.

Stop using time as an excuse, Alana.
Our roads took us here.

Stop sounding like a philosophy guy,
Albert Einstein. Maybe I'll see you later.

I'm not gonna see you later.

Just get your chin up just
a little bit like that, darling.

[CHUCKLES] Chin up, chin up.

I met the girl I'm gonna
marry one day, Greg.

Oh, yeah?

And you're gonna be my best man.

ANNOUNCER [ON TV]: So,
two down and Garvey the batter.

I'll be at the Tail o' the
Cock if you need me.

Love you, Greggo.

Excuse me, Don.

DON: Sure, Gary, you got it.

Thank you.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Stop.

What?

I can hear you breathing.

Stop.

-Breathing?
-Yes.

[DISHES CLATTERING]

So, Alana, what are your plans?

I don't know.

What's your future look like?

I don't know.

How do you like working at Tiny Toes?

I hate working at Tiny Toes.

-You should start your own business.
-[ALANA CHUCKLES]

What business should I be in?

I don't know. What do you like?

I don't know.

You're an actress.
You should be an actress.

[CHUCKLES]

So how'd you become such a hotshot actor?

-I'm a showman. It's my calling.
-Ugh.

I don't know how to do anything else.
It's what I'm meant to do.

Since I was a kid, I've
been a song-and-dance man.

Come on.

Ever since you were a kid?
Song-and-dance man?

Where are your parents?

My mom works for me.

-Oh, of course she does.
-Yes, in my public relations company.

In your public relations company?

-Because you have that?
-Yes.

-And you're an actor.
-Yes.

And you're a secret agent too?

[CHUCKLES] Well, no, I'm
not a secret agent. That's funny.

Are you joking?

Well, no, I'm not.

That's a lot.

It gets complicated.

I'm sure. And all that math homework
you have to do after everything.

My mom's in Las Vegas right now
taking care of the Hacienda Hotel,

which leaves me back here.

We do PR for Tail o'
the Cock and Chadney's.

-I like Chadney's.
-You like Chadney's?

-[CHUCKLES] Yeah.
-Do you like Japanese food?

-I don't really know what that is.
-The Mikado?

-I'm taking you to the Mikado next time.
-Next time?

-Yeah.
-[ALANA CHUCKLES]

The food's magnificent.

You're sweet, Gary.

You're gonna be rich in a
mansion by the time you're 16.

[CHUCKLES] I'm gonna be here,

taking photos of kids for
their yearbooks when I'm 30.

You're never gonna remember me.

I'm not gonna forget you.

Just like you're not gonna forget me.

If I ask for your phone
number, would you give it to me?

Why should I give you my phone number?

So I can call you. [CHUCKLES]

-I don't know, Gary.
-Why not?

How are you gonna remember it?

It's only seven numbers.

[SIGHS]

758-4686.

-756-4686.
-You already got it wrong.

758-4686.

-All right, Don Rickles.
-[CHUCKLES]

Don't call me all the time, okay?

We're not boyfriend and girlfriend.
Remember that.

Well, you know.

I know.

[CHUCKLES]

ALANA: Hi, Dad.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What's up?

What?

What's going on?

Nothing.

What time is it now?

10:00.

What'd you do?

I told you what I was
gonna do this morning.

-What?
-Go to dinner with Lisa.

-Lisa?
-Yeah.

Who the fuck is Lisa?

Dad, you know Lisa.

-Lisa? I don't know Lisa.
-Yeah, she works with me at Tiny Toes.

-What?
-Yes.

Where were you?
Why are you dressed like that?

Were you on a date?
Looks like it was a long date.

[SIGHS] Get out of my room, Este.

[DOOR CLOSES]

ANITA: "His name is Jerome H. Frick.

His friends know him simply as Jerry,
and his attractive young wife as Mioko.

Their new restaurant Mikado

is a delightful dinery
featuring foods of Japan

and it should be quite authentic,

for Jerry had a restaurant
some 15 years in Tokyo.

The entire staff, with the
exception of Jerry, is Japanese

and those "little doll" waitresses are
dressed fittingly in colorful kimonos.

Give it a try.
We think you'll be delighted."

Oh, that's wonderful, Anita.

Oh, fantastic.

Oh, of course. It's just wonderful.

-Thank you.
-ANITA: Of course.

Uh, do you think we should mention
something about the serenity, though?

The, uh… The pleasant quiet?

Yes, and I wish that we had
space to include everything,

because it's such a beautiful
restaurant, but if we choose one thing…

Right. Okay. Let's just…

[THICK JAPANESE ACCENT]
Oh, Mioko, how you think of this?

What you think of item for newspaper?

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

Oh! Oh, Yoko-san.

[NORMAL VOICE] I think
the cuisine is not mentioned.

She's wondering if we
mentioned the cuisine.

Of… Uh…

-The cuisine?
-JERRY: Mm-hmm.

I think we did talk
about that, didn't we?

-I… I might… I have an earlier draft.
-[PAPERS RUSTLING]

[ANITA CLEARS THROAT]

Here it is. "There is a complete
roster of Japanese appetizers available

while sipping American
or Japanese spirits.

For the daring, sashimi is offered.

But don't worry, there are
many American dishes too.

Mikado is for the gourmet
and the non-gourmet alike."

[THICK JAPANESE ACCENT]
What you think of that?

[SPEAKING JAPANESE]

[NORMAL VOICE] Much better talking
about the cuisine than the waitresses.

-Thank you.
-ANITA: Oh, fantastic.

-I will make a note of that.
-Sure.

That's what we'll send to the paper.

Thank you so much for
coming in to G and G Agency.

Really appreciate it, Anita.
Thank you so much.

-Arigato.
-ANITA: Of course.

[THICK JAPANESE ACCENT] Oh!

RADIO ANNOUNCER: 7:20 with Charlie.

I'll make that call to the girl

So…

I'm afraid you're gonna be upset with me.

I can't take you to New
York for The Jerry Best Show

I have to go to Las Vegas.

-I'm not upset.
-No?

No. Why is that bad?

Well, you can't go to New York
without a parent or a guardian.

Hey, Alana.

-What? Officer…
-KIKI: No, Gary! No!

-No! Gary!
-ALANA: There must be a mistake.

-KIKI: Gary!
-Gary, what did you do?

Officer, what did I do?

Officers, he's innocent. He's a kid.

-He has rights!
-Officer, what did I do?

-What are your badge numbers?
-What did I do?

I will be reporting you to

Where's he going?

Gary, don't worry. Don't worry.
I'm gonna find you, okay?

Don't worry, okay?

Uh, Ted.

-Ted.
-Yeah.

Ah, Ted, I love that name.

Okay.

-My name's Alana.
-Hi, Alana.

Can I come and install the bed for you?

What?

I'd lay it down and
show you how it works.

It moves in a similar way to the ocean,

wet inside.

And it takes some getting used
to, but once you're in there, ah, Ted,

I don't think you're gonna
be asking any questions.

Sounds like you just
sold a waterbed, Alana.

Tell me, what time can
you be over with that bed?

Oh, well. Eager. [CHUCKLES]

I have to wait until my work is done.

-Oh, yeah?
-Yeah.

I have a mean, old boss
that makes me work all day.

Why don't you tell Fat Bernie you
have work to do and get out of there?

Oh. Fat Bernie is so mean, Ted.

Sounds like it.

He keeps me locked up inside.

But you know what, Ted?

What's that?

I know you're gonna love our wet beds.

-You know what they come with?
-What's that?

A wood headboard.

And that wood is strong and
sticks straight up against the wall.

That sounds great.

We don't have wood headboards.

I'm gonna hand you
off to my associate Kirk

and he's gonna take
down all your information

and I'm gonna be at

Thank you for calling Fat Bernie's.

Well, we better get some, because

If you want it more sexy,
I'll make it fucking horny.

I can sing, and I can dance.

No, I know. I know. I know.

I'm just saying that if she asks

ALANA: Yes.

I love his work with young actors.
He is a miracle worker.

[ALANA CHUCKLES]

You have a warm smile,

which is very powerful.

And you have a very Jewish nose

[LAUGHS] which is

I am getting a lot more

ALANA: Really? That's great.

[PHONE RINGS]

No.

No.

[LAUGHING] No.

-Basketball?
-ALANA: Yes.

-Baseball?
-ALANA: Yes.

-Soccer?
-ALANA: Yes.

Any other sports or special

I studied Krav Maga.

[SCRIBBLING]

Well, I don't know what that is.
What is Quick Draw McGraw?

ALANA: It's martial arts from Israel.
It's used in combat.

My dad was in the Israeli army.
We all know it. [CHUCKLES]

So it's a form of karate, let's say.

It's more like, "How to use a
pen to stab someone's eye out."

You're a goddamn
fucking fighter, aren't you?

I like that.

I can see that.

You come here trying
to be all pretty for me,

but really, you remind me…

Of a dog.

Of an English pit bull dog

with sex appeal and…

A very Jewish nose. [LAUGHS]

[LAUGHING]

Uh, do you know any other
languages, besides English?

Hebrew.

Besides Hebrew.

ALANA: Oh, I'm so sorry. Um, Spanish.

MARY: Oh.

-French.
-MARY: Oh.

Latin.

And Portuguese.

Bueno…

Fantástico. [LAUGHS]

[SCRIBBLING]

Would you be willing to work topless?

Yes.

No.

You will lose out on work if
you're not willing to do nudity.

So you'd be naked in a movie,
but you wouldn't make out with me?

You'd show the whole world your
boobs, but I'm not allowed to see?

You told me to say yes to everything.

I told you to say no to that.

-Well, I didn't know what to say.
-Say no!

I would get naked in a
movie if it gave me the part.

Actresses get naked
in movies all the time.

What's wrong with that, Gary?

Because there's too much
nudity in pictures right now.

-Oh, come on.
-And you're my friend. We're friends.

And you'd do it in a movie,
you'd show your boobs in a movie,

but you wouldn't show them to me!

Why won't you ask someone
your age to see their boobs?

Because I'm asking you!

[TIRES SCREECHING]

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Do you really wanna see my boobs?

Yes.

-Where's Greg?
-He's in his room.

Can I touch them?

No.

I'm never speaking to you ever again.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Do you think it's weird I hang out
with Gary and his friends all the time?

No.

I think it's weird.

It is whatever you think it is.

I hang out with Gary

Hmm. And what happens if Fat Bernie falls

asleep while he's
smoking in his waterbed?

That is a great question.

Actually, the water is too cold to
allow the cigarette to burn through.

[CHATTERING ON TV]

REPORTER [ON TV]: They will
reduce oil production by 5% a month

until the Israelis withdraw
from occupied territories.

If the Arab countries keep that pledge,

it would reduce their production
by almost 50% in one year.

According to some of our leaders,

as the Arab oil embargo continues,

the situation will become
increasingly worse,

and we may be forced
into a gas rationing program.

RICHARD NIXON: The immediate
shortage will affect the lives

of each and every one of us.

In our factories, our cars,
our homes, our offices,

we will have to use less fuel
than we are accustomed to using.

-The fuel prices need not mean…
-Did you know there was an oil embargo?

Wait, what?

Do you understand any of this?

REPORTER: Major tie-ups like these are
becoming more frequent in Los Angeles.

-Will your gas supplies…
-ALANA: Huh?

…hold out very long?

The beds are made from vinyl, Gary.

Vinyl is made from oil.

-It is?
-Fucking duh.

What did you think it was made out of?
Gold?

I don't know. I thought it was, um…

-What? Magic?
-I thought it was…

Like a scientific fabric.
I thought it was like a rubber.

Which is also made out of oil, dipshit.

PERSON: I tried to pump
gas on the way home last night

and had a little success.

What little money I had on me,
I got a couple of dollars' worth,

but I'm afraid for the weekend.

JON: Which one is in charge?
Are you in charge?

Yeah, I'm in charge.

May I just speak with you for a second?

-Yeah, sure.
-Thanks.

-You can tell your crew to stop.
-Stop for a sec, guys.

Um…

So, this is what I wanna say to you. Um…

-Do you know who I am?
-Yeah.

Do you know who my girlfriend is?

Barbra "Streizand."

[SIGHS] Barbra Streisand.

-"Sand."

Barbra Streisand.

Barbra "Streizand."

JON: Are you fucking with me?
All right, let's get past that.

Hopefully, you never fucking meet her.
She'll fucking…

You think I'm bad.
We're going to the movies right now

and I'm on my way to pick her
up, so I'm gonna leave you here,

but I wouldn't normally leave
somebody in my house when I'm not there,

but I have to, because
you guys are so late.

I'm sorry. There was no gas.

That's an excuse I'm gonna shove
up your fucking penis hole, man.

-[SIGHS] What's your name?
-Gary.

Gary. Gary. How big is your penis hole?

It's regular-sized.

Hmm. How would you know?

Imagine what that would feel like,
if I shoved that excuse up there.

-That would hurt a lot, right?
-Yeah.

JON: But that's what I'd like to do.

I'm sorry. I don't wanna make
you any more late than you are.

You can leave.

Look at you, you cocky motherfucker.

I like it.

We speak the same language.
We're both from the streets.

Yeah.

I didn't see it before. That's… Wow.

Wow, you get right

Wow. You have a little, um…

You have a tincture in your left eye.
It means you're deficient in vitamin K.

You need to take more

-Yeah, that's mine.

Gary, that's filled with gas.
That's gonna get me to the movies on time.

I'm Jon Peters.

My only problem in life
is that I love tail too much.

I love it. I love it so much.

I love it so much. Is that your sister?

No.

-It's your girlfriend?
-No.

I love it so much, it's
gonna kill me one day.

-You know how much tail I get?
-GARY: No.

JON: All of it.

It's all mine.

-You like Barbra Streisand?
-GARY: Yeah.

-JON: You do?
-GARY: Mm-hmm.

JON: Do you?

Yeah.

I do, too. Gets boring, but, you know.

Yeah.

I'm gonna kill you and your

-Okay? Do you have a cat?
-GARY: No.

-You got a dog?
-GARY: No.

-You have a brother and sister…
-GARY: Brother.

Yeah. Your brother? I'm gonna choke
your brother out in front of you, okay?

Steve's gonna look
after you while I'm gone.

It's a pleasure to meet you, Gary.
I want you to be horrified.

-Yeah.

Do you have sisters

Sisters.

Are they older or younger?

Older.

So you're the youngest?

How about your dad? Do you have
a good relationship with your dad?

-Yeah.
-What's he do?

-Real estate.

Did he teach you how to drive?

You're really good at it.

All right. Just slow it down now, okay?
There she is.

Okay, do you have enough room? Yeah?

-You sure?
-I think so.

I parked on the side
so no one would hit it.

Here. I don't want you to have to
bear the burden in case we hit it.

Why don't I take the wheel

and then you just put your foot on

That's it. We'll do it together, okay?

How do you find time for a social life?

Being single means I

much ruins a social life anyway, so…

What do your dates say about that?

They're not saying anything.
I'm not going on any dates, so…

it's probably pretty difficult

for somebody to be a

But it needn't be that way, you see.

I understand it's crazy,

-Me?
-Yes, you. It'll be nice, right?

We could have a quick drink.
I was thinking Rive Gauche?

That sounds nice.

Just one… one small drink.

I don't wanna keep you too long, but…

You should… You should come…
Come straight away. It's important.

-Right, straight away.
-Thanks so much, Alana.

-See you soon.
-I'll see you soon.

[HANGS UP PHONE]

The Councilman forgot his wallet.

-Again?
-Yeah.

He's never gonna win, is he?

What do you mean?

He's a mess. Forgets everything.

If it's not his wallet, it's
his keys or his briefcase.

I've gone to his house three
times to pick up paperwork.

Yeah, but that doesn't
mean he's not gonna win.

I'll go with you.

No. No.

Just finish locking up.

Okay.

ALANA: Found it.

Guess I'll see you later?

Sure.

Wanna meet at Tarzana Bobs?

Tarzana Bobs. Sounds good.

-ALANA: Goodbye.
-Bye.

JOEL: Alana!

Alana.

-ALANA: Hi.
-JOEL: Hi.

I wanna introduce you
to my old friend, Matthew.

-Oh, nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

This is Alana.
She works with me on the campaign.

She's been such a terrific help.
She helped me with those TV spots.

Yes.
I helped with the "Integrity" billboard.

That and, like, a hundred other
things you've done. Don't be shy.

[CHUCKLES]

ALANA: Things come easily
when they matter so much.

It's funny, we were
just talking about that.

-ALANA: Really?
-Yeah.

-WAITER: Madame.
-ALANA: Hi.

May I get you something?

Uh, a martini.

Martini. Vodka or gin?

Vodka-gin.

Would you like an
olive or a lime with it?

-Yes.
-WAITER: Yeah, madame.

Why am I even staying in this?

JOEL: Did you have any
trouble finding the place?

-Oh, no.
-No?

No, I come here all the time.

[CHUCKLES] That's good.

And now you're dragging
this poor girl into it.

Can we please just enjoy
dessert and settle down?

Everything's gonna be fine.
Alana's got her drink coming.

Is that your campaign slogan?

"Everything is gonna be fine

as long as no one finds
out who I really am."

I'm dealing with so many
things that you don't understand.

So tell me.

Do you have any idea how
uncomfortable I am all day long?

I can't understand. No.
Because you don't tell me these things.

The one time… The one time
that I wanna feel comfortable,

you go out and make
me feel uncomfortable.

-I haven't done anything to you, Joel.
-Okay.

I didn't call this girl. You called her.

Okay, but you're upset that I called her.

Yes, I'm upset, because
nothing is about me.

-Nothing is about us.
-I forget who I'm dealing with here.

"I'm Matthew Marshall
and it's always about me."

No. No, no, Joel.

It's never about me,
and that's why I'm sad.

Well, look.

We're here, we're having dinner.

You asked me to come to dinner.
I'm tired, and I'm here at dinner.

What more do you want from me?

I want you to myself.

Well, that's just not how
the world works, is it?

MATTHEW: I don't know.

Well, then you need to grow up.

There was a man hanging around
the office earlier and he's here now.

That's why I called.

You see, I don't think it's wise

for my personal life to distract
from what our first priority is.

What is our first priority?

[SIGHS]

There's the community, my campaign,
and everything that I'm working towards.

Yes, and that's that, and this is
dinner, so what are we working towards?

So, Alana, you came
to meet me for a drink.

Um, you were running late,

and now you're going to be taking
your boyfriend, Matthew, home.

[MATTHEW LAUGHS]

Is she gonna be taking her boyfriend
to his house or to your house?

JOEL: Would you please
keep your voice down?

She's going to be
taking you to your house.

Are you gonna be coming there?

Can we just discuss this
at another time, please?

MATTHEW: Are you gonna
come to my house tonight, Joel?

JOEL: Can we please just
discuss this at another time?

-Do you want me to…
-JOEL: Okay?

-Do you want me to wait up for you?
-JOEL: No, Matthew.

Thank you both for coming.

Let's go paint the town red.

-JOEL: So nice of you…
-And black and blue.

JOEL: So nice of you guys to…

[SIGHS]

[VOICE BREAKING] Thank you, Alana.
You're very sweet.

[SNIFFLES, SIGHS]

Do you have a boyfriend?

Yes and no.

I don't know.

Is he a shit?

Yeah. Yeah.

They're all shits, aren't they?

Oh.

[SIGHS]

Thank you, sweetheart.

You have a very powerful feeling.

Thank you, Matthew.

[ROCK MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS]

Very cool. What do you play?

-Guitar.
-Me, too.

Where's Gary?

Are you okay?

Where's Gary?

He left.

-Where'd he go?
-I don't know.

[CHATTERING]

HENRI: Miss Alana. Good evening.

Is Gary here?

No, Gary didn't come in tonight.

-You haven't seen him?
-No.

Do you need some help?

No, thank you, Henri.
