(instrumental rock and roll playing)

All you got to do is go up to Nat, and say,

"Nat, look, I've been coming here a long time,

"and I got to tell you, as a friend,

you got to update the jukebox."

This music-- it's... it's out of a time warp.

Yeah, well, look, I don't think it's going to work.

Of course it'll work, come on.

All you got to do is act sincere when you talk to Nat.

He loves that stuff.

Steve.

Tell him that none of us can relate to this music anymore.

Yeah, well, I don't think right now would be the best time

to tell Nat about this.

Why not?

Hi, Nat.

Hi.

You really like listening

to this music?

Like I always say, if you can remember the '60s...

I had a feeling he was going to say that.

Mm-hmm.

BRENDA: Donna, I cannot go to Mammoth.

I have a lot of reading to do.

So, you can take along your books.

Come on, Bren. We had fun going down the slopes in Big Bear.

You had fun.

I was on my butt the whole time.

Wait till you try it.

And she will. KELLY: Yeah!

I said I'd probably go, if it's not too cold.

DONNA: It won't be.

And so, even if we don't go skiing,

they have all these natural hot springs, great restaurants.

It'll be fun. Hey...

I'm not the one trying to get my deposit back.

DYLAN: Seriously, Bren, I mean, if I can take a week

and not go surfing and go out of town with you guys,

you cannot pull out this late in the game.

Look, I want to go.

DYLAN: So go.

I can't.

What, you can't?

What do you mean you can't? You grounded?

No, not technically, but my parents want to know

when I'm finally going to learn how to set limits for myself.

So, can't you tell 'em

you'll do that right after

we get back from spring break?

Yeah, tell them that you need a weekend away

with your friends, and we will straighten you out.

You want me to talk to them? No.

I'm just going to stay here.

(sighs)

(phone ringing)

Hello.

Oh, hi, Donna.

Yeah, I picked up my skis.

They're waxed. I'm psyched.

How about you?

I hear ya.

Let me see what I can do.

Bye.

Who was that?

That was Donna.

She was wondering if there's anything

she could do to help change your mind

about Brenda and the ski trip.

What about Brenda and the ski trip?

You mean she's not grounded?

BOTH: No.

(door opening)

Hi, guys.

How are you doing?

JIM: Apparently,

better than you.

Yeah, we're sorry to hear you got grounded.

Who called?

Donna.

Look, I'm sorry.

I got backed into a corner, I needed an excuse,

and you were the first thing that popped into my head.

Would you like to be grounded?

I don't care.

As long as I don't have to go skiing again.

(wood creaks, Brenda sighs)

You know, in the time that we've lived here,

this bench has become completely warped.

BRANDON: I think

you've become completely warped.

Brenda, just answer me one question.

What am I supposed to say

to all our friends when we're riding up

on the chairlift, and they ask me,

"What's wrong with Brenda?

How come she flaked on us?"

What am I supposed to say?

"Oh, don't worry about Brenda.

"Sure, she lied through her teeth about being grounded,

but she only did it to spare your feelings."

Well, you could tell them that I am grounded.

Why don't you tell them that yourself?

Brandon?

Please don't be mad at me.

I'm going through a lot of stuff right now.

You're always going through some stuff, Bren,

and you're always going to extremes.

You know what I'm saying?

Now, I don't know about everybody else,

but I'm getting real tired of dealing with it.

Yeah, I'm getting pretty tired of dealing with it, too.

Have fun in Mammoth.

(sighs)

Good morning.

Oh, I was just writing you a note,

but now that you're up,

you have one last chance

to come to the swap meet with us.

Where is it again? Pasadena.

The Rose Bowl.

You and Daddy go.

Oh, come on.

You know, all I really want to do

is go for a bike ride, take a bath,

try and find something good to read.

Just try not to think too much.

Okay.

(wood creaks)

(boards rattle)

(creaking)

(board clanking onto bench)

BRENDA: "Dear Diary, when I was ten years old,

"I made a vow never to keep a diary.

"I mean, is there anything more '50s and repressed

"than pouring your heart out to some little black book

"you hide under your mattress?

"But the times they are a-changing,

"and we all need somebody to love.

"So, hello, Diary.

"I'm Wendy, and my New Year's Resolution is

"not to be so uptight-- ha, ha--

and make 1968 the best year of my life."

"January 2. Went to the Peach Pit last night.

"Got in a fight with Peter.

"Got in a fight with Will.

"Got in a fight with Michelle.

"Are we starting to see a pattern here, Diary?

The truth is, my friends don't understand me at all."

CINDY: Brenda?

We're off.

Mom, you will not believe

what I found underneath the window seat.

(car horn honking)

We won't be late. Love you.

Bye.

"Dear Diary, I wonder if any future historians

"will trace the fall of Western civilization

"to the moment my parents started watching

"the Vietnam War for dinner.

"I mean, my family has always been

"one part Father Knows Best, one part Twilight Zone,

"but I can't describe what it's like

"to sit there watching the Tet Offensive

"night after night

"while we eat our TV dinners in total silence.

"And no one says anything to anyone...

until there's a commercial."

The Communists have definitely

infiltrated the antiwar movement!

"My brother Will is a little to the right of Attila the Hun.

He always has to talk first."

And you can bet

they're dancing in the streets in Moscow and Hanoi.

"Although I usually disagree

"with his political pronouncements,

"I hardly ever say anything

'cause I hate it when he and Daddy gang up on me."

If that's what you honestly believe,

you don't know anything.

You're naive.

You live in an ivory tower.

Tell her, Dad.

She's naive.

She lives in an ivory tower.

WOMAN (on TV): Children read about being with it,

and pot and pills are supposed to be where it's at.

Mmm, the gravy on this turkey is different, isn't it?

It's new and improved.

ZANY VOICES: Groovy! Far out! Fantastic!

WOMAN (on TV): It's going to take courage to tell them.

MALE VOICE: Uh-uh!

"March 31. Dear Diary,

"if any of your friends ever want to know

"what the Generation Gap is all about,

"just send them to my house for 15 minutes.

"There we were with our TV dinners

"watching LBJ assuring all of us

"that we were winning the war in Asia,

when all hell broke loose."

(doorbell ringing)

I'll get it.

I'll get it. It's probably for me.

If that's who I think it is, tell him to get a haircut.

Hey, what's happening?

We're still eating. You weren't supposed

to pick me up until they left.

Oh. Well, time has become an irrelevant

concept to me. I'm sorry.

FATHER: Wendy, who's out there?

Oh, it's Ho Chi Min, Dr. Edwards.

Wendy, would you come here, please?

Give me a second.

(President Johnson speaking indistinctly)

Yeah.

JOHNSON: ...America's future

under challenge right here at home.

I thought we made it perfectly clear

that Peter Brinkley is not allowed in this house.

He's not in the house, Daddy.

He's outside by his van.

Thanks for dinner, Mom.

Where are you going?

To the library.

Not dressed like that you're not!

Since when did we start letting her wear miniskirts?

WENDY: I won't be home late.

That's right, you won't,

because you're not going anywhere with that crumb bum.

Peter is a serious thinker, Daddy.

You just don't like his politics.

I don't like him.

He's a crumb bum.

He is not a crumb bum!

MRS. EDWARDS: Honey, I think you might want to listen to this.

Oh, man, Rowan and Martin are so much funnier

than The Smothers Brothers, especially when Goldie goes,

"Sock it to me, sock it to me, sock it to me."

I like that part when, uh, Sammy Davis Jr. comes out.

"Here Come Da Judge, Here Come Da Judge."

"You know, man." "You know, man."

(laughter)

Our Commander in Chief'll resign,

and these guys'll do jokes from a television show.

My Natale is the same.

Oh, yeah, he got two lines in a Glen Ford movie,

and now he's too big to work here anymore.

Well, you know, Sal, with LBJ out of the picture,

there's going to be a big shakeup at the Pentagon.

Who knows, we might have this thing won by Christmas.

Ah, that'd be great.

That's a good boy, not like the rest of these son of a...

(bangs hand on counter)

(folk-rock playing) (bell ringing)

Why don't you guys go sit down?

I'm gonna change the music.

They're crowded.

Oh, Maryanne Bagley from the Alpha House just walked in.

Maryanne Bagley is a prude. Oh,

but she's so fine.

RONNIE: Just go make a move.

You know what you gotta do to score.

I do?

Oh, Seth, come on. You read Playboy, don't ya?

We're living in the middle

of a sexual revolution here, big guy.

Chicks dig it almost as much as guys do.

We just have to help them get

in the right frame of mind.

Go ask her what sign she is.

What sign?

That's how Hefner does it.

Right.

Uh, Maryanne...

Yes, Seth.

So, what's your sign?

Oh, well, this one says, "War Is Not Healthy For Children

and Other Living Things."

And this one says, "Vote For Bobby."

Pretty groovy, huh?

Yeah.

Hmm.

You were collecting signatures for Bobby Kennedy

at a Simon & Garfunkel concert?

Yeah, we wanted him to get on the ballot

in time for the primary.

Why?

Well, so he can get elected president

and end this stinking war, that's why.

Excuse me,

I was having a conversation with my sister.

Now what were you saying about Bobby Kennedy?

I was saying we want him to end this stinking war.

PETER: "You don't have to be a weatherman

to know which way the wind blows."

Time has come for change and something's happening.

SAL: I'll tell you what's happening.

(music stops) What's happening is you're outta here.

All of you.

Nobody's gonna make a hippie joint

out of my diner, capisci?

You tell him, Sallie.

Love it or leave it.

I say we leave it.

I say we boycott.

You just violated our civil rights, Mr. Bussichio.

Oh, yeah?

Well, you just violated my stomach.

And to show you I got no hard feelings, Will,

get him the record to take

so I don't gotta hear it no more!

Capisci?

Now get outta here, all of you!

You keep your record, man,

you keep your stinki'' jukebox.

Come on, let's go.

Will, I'm sorry.

You're not going to tell Mom and Dad, are you?

WENDY: "After that night I knew that nothing would ever be the same

"between me and my brother again.

"Hell, after that night

nothing would be the same for anybody again."

"Dear Diary,

"I know I promised to drop you a note every day,

"but the last two weeks have been insane.

"The California primary is tomorrow.

"When the polls close a lot of the volunteers are going down

"to Rancho Park for a private victory celebration

"before heading over to the Ambassador Hotel to see Bobby.

"Peter says the whole world will be watching

"what happens in California.

"Peter has started going out with Michelle.

"They're sleeping together.

"They're talking about living together someday.

Is it any wonder why I have a broken heart?"

(owl hooting)

You know, this tree has been here longer

than the missionaries.

I mean, it was here before Warner Bros.

I bet you if... if we cut it open

it would tell the story of this planet in its rings.

Uh, Peter...

This is a sycamore tree, it's not a sequoia.

It's probably not more than 30 years old.

Wow, you really can't trust anything over 30.

Well, maybe we could strip the bark

and roll it up and smoke it.

That would be really trippy.

I got a lighter.

Well, I have a joint.

PETER: Is that real?

Acapulco Gold.

Let's try it.

Come on, just this once, please.

You heard the lady.

Light her up.

I don't think this is a good idea.

I'll go talk to her.

She's probably just worried

about getting busted.

Hey, Wendy, come on, I'm sorry.

No, it's okay. It's just, you know,

if I'm near it, I'll want to try it.

(coughing in distance) Well, it's okay, just, you know,

take one hit, that's all I'm gonna do.

You don't even have to inhale.

Knowing me, I'd probably just flip out.

I'll see you at the victory party.

You scared me.

What's wrong?

Robert Kennedy's been shot.

NAT: So, can I interest you

in a piece of pie? Oh, please. I'm stuffed.

I couldn't put another morsel of food in my mouth.

Well, unless of course the baby wants some.

(laughs)

Hi, Bren. Hello, Natale.

Natale?

That was your billing in Fate Is The Hunter.

Did you know Nat was in a Glen Ford movie? No.

What? Have you been peeking through the archives?

Better than that.

I found this old diary from a girl

who used to hang out here in the 1960s.

Let me see. Oh, who is she?

Wendy Edwards?

Her brother Will worked here in the spring of '68.

Oh, yeah.

I remember him.

I think.

ANDREA: Look at these numbers: 134,

ten, 66, 72...

Hey, no fair peeking.

You have to read a diary in sequence.

Sorry, it looks like a code to me.

Well, all I know is

that Wendy Edwards went to C.U.,

she grew up in my house,

and lived in my room. Really?

That's wild. Yeah,

I feel kind of weird though,

like I'm invading her privacy.

I mean, this is her personal diary.

Well, I bet you could, uh, track the real Wendy down

at the Registrar's Office.

Well, actually, I was thinking

of going to the Research Library,

looking her up in an old yearbook or something.

Sounds like a plan.

Good.

Is that the original jukebox?

I don't know.

♪ Holding you tight... ♪

Which one of these guys is Sal?

Uh, the one under the clock.

♪ When I sleep at night... ♪

Not at all like I pictured him.

Any luck?

I'm sorry. Just as I suspected.

We haven't transferred the student yearbooks to microfilm yet.

You're gonna have to go up to the sixth floor

and see what we have in the stacks.

Thanks.

What years are you looking for?

Um, well, she probably would've graduated in 1969,

if she graduated at all.

I mean, didn't a lot of kids take time off

back then to get their heads together?

"Tune In, Turn On, and Drop Out."

Mm-hmm.

Where were you during those years?

Well, I was in junior high, but, uh,

I did come here for the big Hippie Be-In

that was going on in the main quad.

When was that?

Uh...

March 31, 1969.

One year after Lyndon Johnson announced his resignation.

That's right.

Here it is,

this is what Wendy Edwards had to say

about the "Great Hippie Be-In."

♪ It's all in my head... ♪

WENDY: "Dear Diary,

"I honestly don't think I was cut out to be a hippie.

"I don't get high.

"I despise acid rock.

"And I don't think there is anything

"particularly liberating about growing hair

"under my armpits.

"Having said that,

"let me say that the Be-In was definitely a cosmic happening.

"Especially if you were a dog...

"...or Michelle.

"I can't help it.

"I look at her, and I want to be her.

I want to be the one playing the tambourine..."

(applause and cheering)

Lovely.

Guys, excellent job, ladies and gentlemen...

WENDY: "...or standing next to Peter when he's out there doing

"what he can to raise everyone's consciousness

"about the war.

"Did I say everyone?

What I should have said is everyone but one."

You know, Will, don't take this the wrong way,

but... I don't know, a lot of chicks don't respond

to a guy who comes to a Love-In dressed

in an ROTC uniform.

He's blowing it. (crowd murmuring)

Yeah, right on.

That's what I want to hear.

You know, I know it's a rhetorical question,

but hey, somebody had to ask it...

The real question is,

do you people believe in the Constitution

of the United States of America?

Oh, this man has been brainwashed, people,

by the Military-Industrial Complex.

Do you believe that freedom is worth fighting for?

Worth dying for?

Listen to that, he's ready to drop napalm on the Mekong Delta.

Forget the lies they've been telling you

about the war in Vietnam-- it is legal, it is moral,

and it is winnable.

Do the words "My Lai Massacre" mean anything

to you, Officer, huh?

WENDY: "By the time I got up to the podium,

"Peter and Will were engaged in mortal combat.

"They'd probably still be at it if Michelle hadn't lost it

"right in front of the whole damn Be-In.

"I mean, she just fell apart,

"said she couldn't handle the bad vibes

"so Peter called it quits.

"But first he made a point

"of calling my brother a fascist... You're a fascist!

"...who, in turn, called Peter a traitor. You're a traitor.

"And then they glared at each other,

and then they glared at me..."

MAN: Peace!

"...and then they went their separate ways."

MAN: Peace!

(crowd clamoring)

CROWD (chanting): Hell, no, we won't go!

Hell, no, we won't go! Hell, no, we won't go!

Hell, no, we won't go!

Hell, no, we won't go!

Hell, no, we won't go!

"Sometimes it's hard to believe they were ever best friends."

Boy, that's powerful stuff.

Yeah, it's all like that.

WOMAN (over P.A.): Your attention, please.

The library will be closing in five minutes.

Oh, no. Don't worry.

I'll go up to the stacks and pull everything you need.

It'll all be here for you

tomorrow morning. Thanks.

That'll give me time to catch up on my reading.

Enjoy it. Bye.

WENDY: "At this stage in my life,

"the last thing I wanted to do

"was ask my brother Will for a favor,

"but when push comes to shove,

you gotta go with the flow."

Hey. Hey.

How was 2001?

Mmm.

It was a real space odyssey.

You know the part where HAL the computer

starts flipping out? Yeah.

Well, so did Michelle.

It was a real bummer, so we had to leave.

She flipped out?

What was the matter? Was she on something?

Well, um...

she took some LSD.

Well, did you take her to the emergency room?

No, we brought her here.

Why did you bring her here?

Look, the only way to get her to maintain was to promise

that she could have a chocolate shake.

I mean, she's coming down. She should be fine.

Where is she now?

In Peter's van.

Did she get the drugs from that guy? No.

And what about you? Did you do any acid tonight?

You know I don't do psychedelics.

Well, except for that time I did mushrooms in La Tuna Canyon.

All right, all right, you can bring her in.

I'll stay with her.

Talk her down, fix her some food.

Whatever it takes, but Peter's got to wait outside.

Thanks.

WENDY: "I knew my brother would volunteer

"to take care of Michelle.

"The fact is, he always had a crush on her

but was too shy to do anything about it."

Hey, Michelle.

"Me, on the other hand... I wear my heart like a wheel."

(moaning) Mmm, Peter...

Mmm...

Peter, we can't do this.

Oh, for sure we can, Wendy.

You've just got to live in the moment.

I mean, nothing could be more beautiful or spiritual

or existentially pure

than two bodies and souls melding into one.

Mm. Yeah, but if Michelle hadn't OD'd,

she would've been the one here melding.

Okay, so Michelle's into her own trip.

But you know what? She's... she's not

into that bourgeois monogamy thing and neither am I.

I just want to be... free and spontaneous.

Mmm. I want to be it with you.

So if you can't be with the one you love,

love the one you're with?

Oh, you know I don't want to do anything

to bum you out, or to hassle you,

and I don't want to make you do anything

that you don't want to do.

I just want to make love to you.

Mmm! Yeah, sweet love.

WENDY: "Why do I get so possessive, Diary?

"Why am I so insecure?

"I couldn't let him go all the way...

not while he's still with Michelle."

"I lost what could have been

"the great love of my life tonight.

I lost Peter Brinkley, forever."

I'm surprised Brenda didn't leave the lights on.

Yeah, she must've left early.

Think we paid too much for it?

No. It's a great piece.

It's, uh, unique.

Mm. Well, maybe five percent.

Honey!

You're here. Hey!

What's wrong?

I love Dylan.

That's why I didn't go away with them.

Poor Wendy.

Who's Wendy?

I think she's losing it.

♪ You are everything I need... ♪

WENDY: "Dear Diary, sometimes

"I don't recognize myself in the mirror anymore,

"and I can't figure out if that's bad or that's good.

"I just have to learn

"how to stop living up to other people's expectations

and learn how to stop being so hard on myself."

(laughter)

"Today was a good day, though.

"I met Maryanne and Michelle

"over at the Pit for old times' sake.

"What a scene...

especially with Ronnie and Seth lurking about."

Look at them over there.

Two years ago, they were pledging the same sorority,

and now that sorority folded.

Michelle Carson's on the pill.

How do you know she's on the pill?

That's not important, now, is it?

What's important here is you.

And from listening to your rap, I can tell you...

I'm horny. (chuckles)

I told you Maryanne Bagley was a prude.

I know. I know.

There's just something about her that keeps me hanging on.

I'm gonna take her to the Donovan concert

at the Bowl tonight.

See if I can turn things around.

Well, then tonight is the night for the full-court press.

Yeah, well, unfortunately, she's not into contact sports.

Oh, yes, she is.

You just have to find out the games people play,

and have a little faith.

Well, thank you, Reverend Ike.

Laugh all you want; I'm a believer.

You tell a girl something she wants to hear,

you'll get what you want.

Yeah, well, the hard part is figuring out

what they want to hear.

Nah, you make that up as you go along.

The hard part is trying to convince them

to stay in your dorm room after curfew.

That's what's hard.

(laughing)

♪ Yes, you are, yes, you are, and I'm sure ♪

♪ You feel it, too... ♪

I really loved the way he did this in concert.

Yeah, Donovan's a genius.

You want to hear it again?

Oh, I, I'd love to, but...

Well, what about the other side?

We could hear that one more time.

I don't know. It's... it's getting late, isn't it?

I don't know, is it?

No, it's only 11:30.

Well, that can't be.

I mean, the concert ended at 11:00.

Ah, yeah, you're right.

Someone must've accidentally unplugged my clock radio.

I'll find out what time it is.

(dialing)

At the sound of the tone, the time will be...

Ah, you're not going to believe this.

It's, uh, it's 2:15.

Oh, my God, Seth!

You got to get me out of here; it's after hours.

Are you kidding? Do you want to get busted?

The R.A.s are right by the elevator.

I mean, we could get kicked out of school.

We could get demerits.

What are we going to do?

WENDY: "And what they did, of course,

"was turn out the lights and go to sleep.

"Except they didn't go to sleep...

"which turned out to be a total bummer in the extreme.

"For after Maryanne gave in and went all the way with Seth,

he never spoke to her again."

Feeling any better, honey?

Oh, a lot better, thanks.

A hot bath was an excellent suggestion,

very life-affirming.

Very '60s.

You mother was telling me about the diary you found.

Oh, I cannot put it down.

I mean, even though it happened 25 years ago,

I can relate to practically everything

that Wendy went through.

I bet we could relate to some of that.

Yeah, you would. Actually there's one

part in it that I want to read to you. Come on in.

There's this part where she wrote about the war

and the Student Mobilization Committee,

and it sounds a lot like the way

that your father was with you.

Mm. Lot of cursing, huh?

Well, Wendy's brother kicked in the television set.

Here it is.

"Dear Diary: In Asia, the Vietnamese people are

"supposedly fighting for the right of self-determination.

"At my house, in the flats of Beverly Hills,

I am fighting for the right to exist."

I'm sorry, this is just more of that same old

left-wing rhetoric that's tearing this country apart.

See, you ask him a question, all you get is a lecture.

For Pete's sake, Will, answer your sister,

so I can eat my chicken tetrazzini

in peace for a change.

I forgot what the question was.

The question is: Did you need my permission when you decided

to join the Officer Training Corps?

That's not the point.

Yes or no?

No. So why do I need

your permission to go to a peaceful rally?

Because it's not going to be a peaceful rally.

That's not true, Will.

Dad, this is just another way for Peter Brinkley

and the SDS to try to shut down the university.

Not true.

It's going to backfire.

You'll see. It's going to become a violent demonstration.

The rally is being sponsored by the American Friends Committee,

the Newman Center, and the Academic Senate.

That is hardly the vanguard of the New American Revolution.

All right, the real question is:

Are you going to come and watch my graduation?

How can I possibly do that?

It's easy.

You don't go to your damn demonstration.

You go with Mom and Dad to the base and you clap for me

when I get my commission. Will...

And not because you support the war,

but because I'm your brother.

You know, we can't even parade around the campus

because of your rally.

You know how that makes me feel?

(TV playing)

(shrieks)

Will... I...

I-I was watching that program.

(sobbing)

Do you see what you've done to this family?

(sighs)

WENDY: "In hindsight, I can't help but wonder

"if Peter and some of the other student leaders

"hadn't used the rally as a pretext

"to take over the Administration building

"and see themselves on the evening news.

"But, in all fairness, there was

"a real sense of community on the campus that night,

"and a sense that our voices would be heard,

"and our policy demands would be accepted,

"and the fate of the world would be forever changed

because of it."

Wait a minute!

What happened to all my soldiers?

What happened to their draft cards?

Beats me, Uncle Sam.

WENDY: "But as time wore on,

"I became overwhelmed with an impending sense of dread

"that the only thing that was going to happen that night

was that most of us were going to get our heads bashed in."

(distant siren blaring)

Wendy! We've been looking all over for you.

We don't want to get arrested.

Me neither, but I have to go find Peter.

Okay, we'll be in the quad.

(indistinct shouting)

Are you holding? What?

Do you have any grass? No.

PETER: Just keep your bandannas wet.

It's going to be all right, okay?

Don't freak out on me now. I don't want to get arrested, Peter.

You won't. That's not what's going on here, all right?

Peter! Look out!

"I was charged with trespassing and resisting arrest.

"Fortunately, the charges against me

"and most of the other students, including Peter, were dropped.

"Unfortunately, my brother and his unit shipped out

"to Da Nang that morning,

and I never got the chance to say good-bye."

Wow.

Yeah.

That's what it was like.

Mom, Dad...

Peace.

Good night, honey.

Night.

Night.

Good morning.

Good morning. Hey, there.

You look like you got a good night's sleep.

Yeah, I did.

I dreamt I went to Disneyland

with Judy Collins and Joan Baez,

and we wound up singing folk songs on the Matterhorn.

Whoa.

It sounds like this diary is really getting to you.

Well, I might as well be Wendy Edwards.

I mean, think about it.

We had the same room,

we both got arrested and got the charges dropped...

Thank God.

...and we both let ourselves get hung up

on guys with sideburns.

CINDY: But you have a much better relationship with

your brother than she did.

Well, actually, they ended up making amends.

He wrote her this incredible letter from Vietnam.

Here, let me read it to you.

"Dear Wendy... Thanks for the tapes.

WILL/WENDY: "You don't know how much it means to hear from you...

WILL: "...especially since we weren't on such good terms when I left.

"I've got to confess I wasn't really prepared

"for how disorienting everything is over here.

(distant explosion) "Morale is pretty low,

"and even I'm counting the days till we can get over to Bangkok

for some R&R."

(explosion)

MAN: Over here!

"But until then, we've got a job to do,

"so there's no use in complaining.

"Besides, I'm not sure anybody's listening anymore.

"I love you.

"I miss you.

Will."

I'm sorry, I didn't mean

to get your guys' day started the wrong way.

No, no, no, no, it just brings back a lot of memories.

Yeah.

Makes me kind of want to turn back the clock

and start over again.

Yeah, it makes me want to find the real Wendy Edwards.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

I was expecting you.

Did you find her in the yearbook?

Well, it's so disorganized up there,

I was lucky to find the elevator.

You're kidding.

Never fear.

I have a friend who works at the Alumni House

and she gave me the last known address for her.

I can't believe I'm going to meet Wendy.

So tell me, what's the first thing you're going to ask her?

What do the numbers 134, ten, 66,

and 72 mean?

What? Look.

This is her last entry-- July 18, 1969--

and then there's these numbers.

I mean, they just come out of nowhere.

Well, you know what happened July 18, 1969?

Yeah, I do.

(doorbell rings)

Did you order pizza?

One pepperoni and one mushroom.

With what kind of crust?

For God's sake, Pippa,

there's a man walking on the moon

and you're talking about pizza.

(Neil Armstrong speaking indistinctly)

There's money in my purse.

ARMSTRONG: ...uh, like powdered charcoal...

Peter.

Long time, no see.

How you been?

How have you been?

It's been kind of intense.

Yeah, I was worried about you.

DR. EDWARDS: Wendy, who's out there?

It's Neil Armstrong, Dr. Edwards.

Wendy!

You know, you are always getting me in hot water.

Well, I just wanted to come and say good-bye.

You're leaving?

Yeah, I'm gonna drive across the country.

Far out.

By yourself?

No, with Michelle.

Before we broke up, we made this pact

that we'd go to this rock festival back east, so...

we're still going to go.

You're going to Woodstock?

I got plenty of room in the van if you want to go.

I don't think Michelle would appreciate that.

Yeah, I don't even think Michelle would notice.

What, is she always tripping?

Yeah, she's pretty out there... lately.

After the concert,

she wants to backpack around Europe or something

and go live in a commune in the Greek Isles.

And what are you going to do?

I'm not coming back either.

I was thinking maybe Canada.

To live?

If I stay here, they're going to draft me, for sure.

Would you come with me, Wendy?

Please.

LIBRARIAN: So what did she do?

She wrote down these numbers.

Well, when you find out what they mean,

will you let me know?

I promise.

Say hi to Wendy for me.

Bye.

I think I have something that belongs to you.

Oh...

My...

You know, we got pretty whacked by the quake out here,

but looking at this after all these years,

God... it's a real jolt, too, let me tell you.

I always assumed my mother threw it away.

Now, I'd be too embarrassed to show it to her.

Is that Pippa?

Yeah,

and that's my son Brian, his girlfriend Michelle.

Michelle?

Isn't that ironic?

Hmm.

What happened to her?

She burned out early.

Died of a heroin overdose in...

'71, I think it was.

Do you have a photograph of her?

Let me see if I can find my old yearbook.

BRENDA: That's Michelle?

WENDY: She was very pretty, wasn't she?

I thought she was a blonde.

No... no.

Oh, Maryanne was a blonde.

That's Maryanne?

With Seth and Ronnie.

No way.

Yeah, that's them.

Well, in my imagination they looked a lot different.

Are you guys still close?

At this point, I think it's fair to say

we've all lost touch.

Even with Peter?

Uh... I see his credit on the TV sometimes,

but that's it.

What does he do?

He's a writer.

What about your brother?

How's Will?

Will...

Will never made it home.

Uh, do you have any brothers and sisters, Brenda?

A brother.

Are you close?

I would like to think we are.

Keep working at it.

Times change, people change.

It's so damn easy to take things for granted.

So, when things settle down next week,

I'll give you a call?

Definitely.

I'll give you a tour of the old homestead,

buy you a burger, or something.

I'd like that.

Oh, you know what?

I-I almost forgot.

In your last entry you had a bunch of numbers written down.

134,

ten, 66?

Yeah, what were those?

Those are the numbers

of the roads we took to get to Woodstock.

You went to Woodstock?

Yeah. (laughs)

Cool.

You take care of yourself, Brenda.

You, too.

You know,

when I told you you could borrow my car,

I didn't think you'd actually take me up on it.

What are you doing here?

We're all here.

(in Irish accent): 'Cause you know, it was raining.

There wasn't much snow.

Yep, and it is sunny and 80 degrees in Palm Springs.

DAVID: So, my grandparents said "Come on down!"

And that means you, too, if you want to come.

Far out.

Far out?

What's this? You rented the movie Woodstock?

Yeah. BRANDON: Both parts?

DAVID: What are you doing calling your sister Woodstock?

(all laughing)

That would make you Snoopy, wouldn't it?

Let's check it out.

(laughter, playful grunting)
