00:00:00When people hassle me about actually liking airplane or cafeteria food, I try to explain
00:00:10to them.
00:00:11I grew up with a divorced, working mom who never had the time or patience for anything
00:00:16fresh.
00:00:17Frozen or package was what I was weaned on, except for when she made her one dish, disguised
00:00:24a hundred different ways, chicken, chicken cacciatore, chicken florentine, Hawaiian chicken.
00:00:37Then mom had it with working in the single parent gig and moved us from New York to California
00:00:43with this swell guy she married, Marty Swell.
00:00:50At one time the name must have been Swellstein or Swellavitz, but somehow back at Ellis Island
00:01:00someone must have gotten lazy, or impatient, or inspired, and entered my step grandad into
00:01:09the U.S. of A. as just plain old swell.
00:01:13Marty!
00:01:14At least they had the decency not to add another L to make it a synonym for wonderful.
00:01:23I remember my summer vacation home after my first year away at college.
00:01:30I'd gone back to New York to study creative writing at NYU, so I was eager to show off my
00:01:34new sophisticated persona, and at the same time probe my roots.
00:01:39My plan was to write a book, my story, and return to the Big Apple with the definitive
00:01:44tale of the dysfunctional family, and launch my literary career.
00:01:48I was only 19, but I saw myself as someone distant and apart, an able observer to dissect
00:01:55and expose the key to what makes a family tick, or in this case, twist.
00:01:59I'd only been gone nine months, but that household seemed like a million light years away.
00:02:06That was until I stepped off the plane.
00:02:12Welcome aboard flight 584, departing New York, JFK International Airport, Los Angeles.
00:02:19Our flight time will be 5 hours and 49 minutes.
00:02:24Wendy!
00:02:25Wendy?
00:02:26Wendy!
00:02:27Mom, hi.
00:02:28Hi.
00:02:29Oh, darling.
00:02:30Oh, my goodness.
00:02:31Let me look at you.
00:02:33Can you get one of those New York haircuts?
00:02:35Yes, it's adorable.
00:02:36It's adorable.
00:02:37I'm so glad to see you, my darling.
00:02:39I've missed you so much.
00:02:40I can't believe it's been a whole year.
00:02:41Okay.
00:02:42I'm all right.
00:02:43Wait.
00:02:44I gotta get my luggage.
00:02:59Is that you bought, Becky?
00:03:00No.
00:03:01That's not mine.
00:03:02Wait, no.
00:03:03I think that's it over there.
00:03:04Sir, could you help us?
00:03:06Thank you so much.
00:03:07You're such a kind person.
00:03:08It's okay.
00:03:09No, no.
00:03:10You're Elena.
00:03:11You should let a nice gentleman take your baggage.
00:03:12That's okay.
00:03:13I'll take it, thanks.
00:03:14Thank you so much.
00:03:15Can we go?
00:03:16Of course, honey.
00:03:17I need the keys to open the trunk.
00:03:18All right.
00:03:19Okay, it's just down this aisle.
00:03:20I'm sure of it.
00:03:21Yeah, that's it.
00:03:22That's the car right there.
00:03:23Remember this car?
00:03:24Yeah, I remember it.
00:03:25What is that?
00:03:26A ticket?
00:03:27How could they give me a ticket?
00:03:28How can they give anybody a ticket around here?
00:03:31It's a meter.
00:03:32It's a meter.
00:03:33You didn't put enough change in the meter.
00:03:34Of course I put enough change in the meter.
00:03:35I loaded it up with change.
00:03:36It's a meter.
00:03:37It's only for like a half an hour.
00:03:38Could there be traffic on the 405 at 7-30 in the morning?
00:03:40There must be.
00:03:41Oh, hey, mom.
00:03:42There's always traffic.
00:03:43There's always traffic.
00:03:44It's always traffic.
00:03:45Yeah, I remember.
00:03:46Yeah, I remember it.
00:03:47Yeah, I remember it.
00:03:48What is that?
00:03:49What is that?
00:03:50A ticket?
00:03:51How could they give me a ticket?
00:03:52How could they give me a ticket?
00:03:53How could they give anybody a ticket around here?
00:03:55Oh, good.
00:03:56I'm going to fight this.
00:03:57I'm going to fight this.
00:03:58You didn't put enough change in the meter.
00:03:59Of course I put enough change in the meter.
00:04:00I loaded it up with change.
00:04:01I used it for like a half an hour.
00:04:03In the morning, I...
00:04:04L.A., Mom, there's always traffic.
00:04:06That's why it's so great in New York.
00:04:07You don't even need a car.
00:04:11Wishy, you know, I've been talking to Marty
00:04:12about getting one of these car phones.
00:04:13Oh, Mother, that's so Hollywood.
00:04:15They're very expensive.
00:04:16You should see the bills we've been racking up lately.
00:04:18Marty is on the phone all the time.
00:04:23Fire! Fire! Fire!
00:04:27Fire!
00:04:28Fire! Fire! Fire!
00:04:38My half-sister.
00:04:40Although I'd get a smack if I ever called her half to her face.
00:04:43You were the toes that Tracy almost set the goddamn house on fire.
00:04:46I was making pizza.
00:04:48Look! More fire!
00:04:51The housekeeper's daughter.
00:04:53A tidbit of normality.
00:04:56You're right, kid, you're right.
00:04:57Hand me that baking soda.
00:04:58Here, Daddy.
00:05:00He's not your daddy.
00:05:01You don't have one.
00:05:03Where you been, huh?
00:05:04I've been here waiting for you.
00:05:05Don't aggravate me.
00:05:05The traffic was murder.
00:05:07Yeah, well, the kids,
00:05:07they almost burned the house to the ground, for Christ's sake.
00:05:09I mean, I leave for one hour,
00:05:11and you can't take care of them.
00:05:13Mommy!
00:05:14Well, hon, Estelle's supposed to be here.
00:05:16She's been gone all morning.
00:05:17Aw.
00:05:18Marty.
00:05:19Estelle, the housekeeper.
00:05:21Will she ever have the guts to leave?
00:05:25Stop barking!
00:05:26Mom!
00:05:27Oh, stop it, Tracy.
00:05:28You're driving me.
00:05:29Your skin looks good.
00:05:30Real good.
00:05:32You only got a few of them left.
00:05:34A real piece of work.
00:05:36And he always knew where to hit.
00:05:38Pfft.
00:05:39The Yankees said...
00:05:40Stand still!
00:05:41The door wasn't even locked.
00:05:43I can't believe you just leave it open.
00:05:45You silly.
00:05:45It's for a day light.
00:05:47Marty's here.
00:05:47What the killers do now is they get rid of the men first, and then they rape and kill
00:05:54the women.
00:05:55Or they kill them, and then they rape them.
00:05:58Can we please not talk about such things?
00:06:00I can't believe you don't know all this.
00:06:03You live in L.A.
00:06:04Don't you read the paper?
00:06:06Did you take my paper?
00:06:08How could I take your paper?
00:06:09I just got here.
00:06:10What's right, Mommy?
00:06:11You see?
00:06:13You see the ideas you're giving your little sister?
00:06:15How do you tell your mother she's in denial when her only response is, I am not?
00:06:21I'm not giving them to her.
00:06:23They exist.
00:06:25Mr. Park, my friend, I was just going to call you.
00:06:28No!
00:06:29My wife, she tell me, call you!
00:06:32Go get ready for the party.
00:06:36What party?
00:06:37Your Aunt Sherry's birthday.
00:06:39I just got off a plane.
00:06:40I'm exhausted.
00:06:41How come no one told me about this?
00:06:43Now, you no understand, my friend.
00:06:45You no sell fruit juice, huh?
00:06:48You sell soda and cigarettes, huh?
00:06:51No!
00:06:51My wife, she say, buy a fruit juice machine.
00:06:54Where is that little bitch?
00:06:56Hey, watch that language.
00:06:57God, where is it?
00:06:58My blood sister gone bad.
00:07:02You know, I'm just going to let you see for yourselves how the whole mess played out that
00:07:06day.
00:07:08God damn it!
00:07:09No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:07:12The kids, they come, they see the fruit juice, they go to the 7-Eleven Mini Mall, and they
00:07:16buy soda and cigarettes.
00:07:18What are you talking about, Arizona?
00:07:19Hey!
00:07:21No!
00:07:21That breath still is my makeup that I saved my allowance for, for months, and all you have
00:07:26to say is watch that language.
00:07:28Quiet.
00:07:29She talks like a truck driver.
00:07:31If I would have talked like that when I was her age, I would have been grounded for a month.
00:07:35But no, not her.
00:07:36She's your daughter.
00:07:38Have you cleaned the pool yet?
00:07:40Mr. Swell!
00:07:41Huh?
00:07:43I have to clean the pool.
00:07:44I have to wash the cars.
00:07:45Why can't Estelle do it?
00:07:46She's the maid.
00:07:47She ain't the maid.
00:07:48She is the housekeeper.
00:07:50Yeah, right.
00:07:51Mr. Swell!
00:07:52Okay, wiseass.
00:07:53Now you're not going to the party.
00:07:55Go to your room.
00:08:00Mr. Swell!
00:08:03Mr. Park.
00:08:0315.
00:08:06It's the maid.
00:08:06She's like a firecracker about to explode.
00:08:09Go get ready.
00:08:09Go get ready.
00:08:11Go!
00:08:12Go!
00:08:13Go!

00:08:31Go!
00:08:32Go!
00:08:33You give kids what they want, Mr. Park.
00:08:39They pay money.
00:08:40No, we don't make money.
00:08:42We lose money.
00:08:47It reeks of weed, you know?
00:08:49Who cares?
00:08:50I can walk down the hall with the needles sticking out of my arm.
00:08:53You'd think they'd notice.
00:08:59And Mr. Swell had to come to your store
00:09:02and wheel away machine.
00:09:03Marty, get off.
00:09:04We have to get going.
00:09:05See?
00:09:06Then you know be happy, Mr. Park.
00:09:08Come on.
00:09:13Yeah.
00:09:14He's supposed to be happy.
00:09:15He might have slept for everything.
00:09:16Go!
00:09:17I have to get out of my door.
00:09:19You're not a kid!
00:09:21He has to talk to him.
00:09:22The effects of neglect.
00:09:47Are you two ready?
00:09:49I'm not going.
00:09:50I'm grounded.
00:09:52Don't be silly.
00:09:53This is family.
00:09:55I'm not one of you.
00:09:56That's just biological.
00:09:58Oh, that's real nice.
00:10:00What am I going to tell your Aunt Sherry?
00:10:02Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.
00:10:04Hi, honey.
00:10:05I love you, Mommy.
00:10:06I love you too, sweetheart.
00:10:09Can I go swimming, Mommy?
00:10:10No, we're going to Aunt Sherry's birthday.
00:10:16Oh, Tracy.
00:10:19Oh.
00:10:20You've been tracking it all over the house.
00:10:23It smells.
00:10:25Estelle.
00:10:26Here I am, Mrs. Swell.
00:10:29We were looking everywhere for you.
00:10:33Have you been?
00:10:34I was jogging.
00:10:36Oh.
00:10:37Tracy stepped in poo-poo.
00:10:38Hi.
00:10:38Come here, Tracy.
00:10:39What is this dog doing in the house?
00:10:41I'm sorry, Mrs. Swell.
00:10:42I put him in my room.
00:10:44Come on, dog.
00:10:45Estelle, you don't have to put them in your room.
00:10:48I'll see you next week.
00:10:50Mr. Swell will see you next week.
00:10:52Bye-bye, Mr. Park.
00:10:54Bye-bye.
00:10:55What going on?
00:10:57Marty.
00:10:58I'm talking to a client.
00:10:59We are supposed to be at the party already.
00:11:01You're not even dressed.
00:11:02I'm trying to make some money.
00:11:04Party?
00:11:05Party?
00:11:05What's this about a party?
00:11:07Oh, hi, Pop.
00:11:07Good morning.
00:11:09Did I hear you say good morning, young lady?
00:11:12Good morning, Dad.
00:11:14Now, what's all this about a party?
00:11:16I've been asking you all week if you wanted to come.
00:11:19You told me no.
00:11:20Nobody told me anything about a party.
00:11:29Well, well, well.
00:11:30Look who's here.
00:11:31It's Wilma.
00:11:34Wendy.
00:11:35Did I hear you say good morning?
00:11:37Oh, okay.
00:11:40I'll be Mrs. Swell.
00:11:45Hey, get off of my jacket, Tracy.
00:11:47Tracy, off the jacket.
00:11:50Aren't you coming?
00:11:51Me?
00:11:52Yes, you and Chrissy are part of the family.
00:11:54You're part of the family.
00:11:54The air, pregnant with chaos.
00:12:16You're hurting me.
00:12:19Say it.
00:12:21Ow!
00:12:33Wendy, hand me that cake, will you?
00:12:35Mom, can't you redecorate or something?
00:12:37This place looks like 1970.
00:12:39What if I have the time?
00:12:41Dad, you coming?
00:12:42I wasn't invited.
00:12:48What?
00:12:49Nothing.
00:12:50Let's go.
00:12:51You're even stupid.
00:12:51A cell's coming too?
00:12:52Um, Sherry, can you use some help in the kitchen?
00:12:56Uh, lock up, Dad.
00:13:04Mom, does he have to smoke that thing?
00:13:07Marty?
00:13:08No, I like cigars, senor.
00:13:09All right, all right.
00:13:11Pipe down, jeez.
00:13:12Don't say his name in vain.
00:13:14I didn't.
00:13:16I said jeez, like cheese.
00:13:18Price is still.
00:13:18You're making my kid into a fanatic.
00:13:20Let's go.
00:13:21The machine will pick up.
00:13:23My dad might answer.
00:13:24Not know what he's saying.
00:13:27Could be a client.
00:13:28They call all day and night.
00:13:30Could be a deal.
00:13:31Go get it, then.
00:13:32You go.
00:13:39Whoop, sick on me.
00:13:42See?
00:13:43We got some of it back.
00:13:44So, one, two.
00:13:49Hello?
00:13:51Hello?
00:13:53Hello?
00:13:55Hello?
00:13:56Hello?
00:13:58Hello?
00:14:00Gracie has to go tinkle.
00:14:03Hello?
00:14:04Hello?
00:14:06Hello?
00:14:07Hello?
00:14:09Hey, hung up.
00:14:14So?
00:14:15It was that crazy friend of yours,
00:14:17that drunken Peggy person.
00:14:19So what do you want me to do?
00:14:21You expect me to believe that she's a client?
00:14:26Oh, Marty.
00:14:28Hey, I told you.
00:14:30She gives me a lease.
00:14:31I gotta be nice to her.
00:14:32Oh, you're so nice.
00:14:34You are nicer to her than you are your own family.
00:14:36Come on, girls.
00:14:39We go pick lemons.
00:14:41Is that the only time you're nice when you're with your little heart?
00:14:44Hey, hey, watch your mouth.
00:14:52The familiar isolation.
00:14:53I'll be the mommy picking lemons for my family.
00:15:00I want to.
00:15:02Mommies have blonde hair like me.
00:15:04Gracie, you let Tracy be the mommy this time.
00:15:06You be it next time.
00:15:07Don't give in to her, Estelle.
00:15:08She's a spoiled little brat.
00:15:10Fuck you.
00:15:12Oh, Mr. Big Shot Nice Guy.
00:15:15Oh, yeah.
00:15:15What do you think?
00:15:16You should take me for an idiot.
00:15:18You think I'm stupid?
00:15:19Like your first wife?
00:15:20Like Sheila you used to lock in the closet?
00:15:23I'm like no one in the closet.
00:15:25What are you talking about, huh?
00:15:26Yeah, that's not what someone told me.
00:15:29I heard about you and your filthy ways.
00:15:32Your hair's cute.
00:15:33You think?
00:15:35It's the new wave look.
00:15:37Looks good on skinny girls with no tits.
00:15:40My finger.
00:15:45You're pissed.
00:15:47She comes after you with a nutcracker.
00:15:49The woman is loony, psycho.
00:15:51Keep it down in there, will you?
00:15:53The car is still running.
00:15:55Well, turn it off then.
00:15:56I thought we were going.
00:15:58I will go by myself.
00:16:04Kevin, oh, we're out of my way.
00:16:06Oh, God.
00:16:09Poor little baby.
00:16:11What did she do to you, huh?
00:16:13Oh, could you, could you, you sweet little thing.
00:16:15You want some love, huh?
00:16:18How about daddy make you some eggs?
00:16:20Some eggs or cheese, huh?
00:16:22We try to bring him with the neighbor's door,
00:16:24but this one won't give her the time of the day
00:16:26that your mother thinks she's a homo.
00:16:28Here you go, sweetheart.
00:16:32So, uh, you hungry?
00:16:35No, I ate on the plane.
00:16:37Okay.
00:16:40Now, let's see what we got.
00:16:44Hey, uh, Marty?
00:16:45I asked my mom to ask you.
00:16:49Ask me what?
00:16:52Well, then I guess she didn't.
00:16:54Um.
00:16:54Ask me what?
00:16:56Well, I was telling mommy that my friend Malcolm
00:16:59is coming from New York for the summer.
00:17:01You know, his parents wanted to get him out of the city and...
00:17:03You want some Jack or you want some Jeff, huh?
00:17:09Anyway, um, you know,
00:17:13his family has treated me like their own daughter,
00:17:16and I was wondering, you know,
00:17:17if we move a mattress into the den, could he stay?
00:17:19Absolutely not.
00:17:20No boys stay in the house.
00:17:24I'm almost 20 years old.
00:17:26My mother said it was all right.
00:17:28Look, I make the rules around here.
00:17:30No boys in the house, and that is it.
00:17:40Why does he always have to do this when it's my family?
00:17:44You said you were going to ask him.
00:17:45About what?
00:17:47About Malcolm.
00:17:48Oh, I did ask him.
00:17:50He said he'd have to think about it.
00:17:54What do you want me to do?
00:17:56He's only coming tonight, Ma.
00:18:00Look, Marty, he's my best friend.
00:18:08He's coming 3,000 miles.
00:18:10I don't care if he comes from Kalamazoo.
00:18:12He can stay in a hotel.
00:18:14He can come here to swim.
00:18:20Look, the truth is, he's gay.
00:18:22We're like sisters.
00:18:24Well, now he's not swimming here.
00:18:26No fairies in my pool.
00:18:29Fairies?
00:18:30Are you from the Ice Age?
00:18:32They're called gay.
00:18:33Gay, get it?
00:18:34Because they're happy?
00:18:36Happy fairies.
00:18:37Oh, God.
00:18:39I knew you would say no.
00:18:41Certainly I'm going to say no.
00:18:42He is not staying in my house.
00:18:46Your house.
00:18:48Your pool.
00:18:49Your kingdom, Mr. Big Authority.
00:18:51As it so happens, it is my mother's house.
00:18:53And it was her parents.
00:18:55You know you better quit while you're ahead.
00:18:59That's just swell.
00:19:01My best friend can't come and stay for one summer.
00:19:04But your mistresses can call all day long.
00:19:07You are just lucky my mother's in denial.
00:19:09She only sees what she wants to.
00:19:11The rest of us knows you, scum.
00:19:13I hope one morning you never wake up.
00:19:15Oh, my God.
00:19:19Randy?
00:19:20Why did you have to marry him?
00:19:23We were fine before.
00:19:26She's done.
00:19:28She's home from college for the summer.
00:19:30I don't want any trouble.
00:19:33I'm going.
00:19:35Now you're going.
00:19:36Like that?
00:19:38I'm going for the grub.
00:19:39There's nothing to eat in this house.
00:19:41You look like a ghoul.
00:19:43I think I look good.
00:19:45Now, what are boys going to say
00:19:46when they see you walking around like that?
00:19:48Well, they'll think that she comes from the circus.
00:19:50Bozo.
00:19:52If anyone looks like a circus performer, it's you.
00:19:55And plus, that's not my aim in life,
00:19:57to have a boyfriend.
00:19:59I hate men.
00:20:00You're such a beautiful girl.
00:20:03I don't know why you have to mess yourself up.
00:20:05Beauty sucks.
00:20:06Don't say that word.
00:20:08It's an onomatopoeia.
00:20:10Sounds like it means sucks.
00:20:12Sucks.
00:20:13Watch it.
00:20:13Can we just go?
00:20:15Engie!
00:20:32Tracy, sit in front with me.
00:20:33I want to sit with you, Mom.
00:20:35You'll sit in front with me.
00:20:37I'm your mother.
00:20:38Come on.
00:20:43Let me air.
00:20:44I can't breathe.
00:20:46Hold your horses.
00:20:48Mom, I'm going to barf.
00:20:50Shit.
00:20:51What now?
00:20:51I forgot the cake.
00:20:56Now, you can have a firmer fanny
00:20:58with the fanny-sizer from Barco.
00:21:01Just shake, shake, shake.
00:21:02What the hell is it?
00:21:06Mina, I don't see the ivy's been watered.
00:21:09Why don't you do it yourself?
00:21:11You're lazy, Señor Suel.
00:21:13Oh, you'd be sad when you see you're no more lazy.
00:21:16Then no more work.
00:21:17Then you and Chrissy no more home.
00:21:19Then back to El Casa y Mirico.
00:21:22Bye, Day!
00:21:28Move over!
00:21:41I am!
00:21:42Mark!
00:21:43Where is it?
00:21:51Try the right hand, Missy Suel.
00:21:53Marty!
00:21:55Is my sister's cake in there?
00:21:57We're leaving as soon as I find it!
00:22:14Shit!
00:22:15Honey, you've got to stop calling me here.
00:22:30Marty!
00:22:31Let me call you.
00:22:32You said you were going to take me to Palm Springs today!
00:22:36You promised!
00:22:37A government bill to crack down on laboratory experiments...
00:22:45Mina, make me some meat, huh?
00:22:47Papi, you want some papers?
00:22:48No, I've had my breakfast, son.
00:22:51It's almost lunchtime.
00:22:52I don't want to be in any trouble.
00:22:53Ah, no trouble, Pop.
00:22:55Right, Mina?
00:22:56No problem.
00:22:57That a girl.
00:22:58Are you with copies for the offenders?
00:23:02Fourteen people are dead, including three children.
00:23:04Four others suffer serious injuries.
00:23:06Ernie!
00:23:07Baby, you're back!
00:23:08How are you doing, man?
00:23:10Look at you.
00:23:11It's good to see you, too.
00:23:12Did they let you out of the slam?
00:23:14Pamela, lovely as ever.
00:23:16She sure is.
00:23:18Pammy's grown since the last time you've seen her.
00:23:20She's a big girl now.
00:23:22Big!
00:23:23Not out of the bottle.
00:23:27It makes me feel like I'm in a commercial.
00:23:29Yeah, well, I don't care how it makes you feel.
00:23:31Not out of the bottle.
00:23:32It's disgusting.
00:23:41Excellent kickers, Rita.
00:23:43Excellent.
00:23:45Hello, honey.
00:23:48I'm going to call Sherry and tell her we'll be there for dessert, okay?
00:23:51We have to.
00:23:51We're bringing the cake.
00:23:53If I ever find the goddamn thing.
00:24:00Hey, Sherry.
00:24:01Are you coming?
00:24:03I have the cake.
00:24:05We're coming.
00:24:05Why are you doing this to me?
00:24:08Why does everything have to be about you?
00:24:12Oh, well.
00:24:14I'm your baby sister.
00:24:16I need you here.
00:24:17You don't do it yet.
00:24:19Enter PJ's All-American Twivsteak with a grocery purchase of $50 or more.
00:24:23And win two round-trip tickets to our nation's cruise capital, Philadelphia.
00:24:27What do you want me to say?
00:24:29I can't get any cooperation around here.
00:24:31Marilyn, off the phone, huh?
00:24:33Uh, honey?
00:24:34I'm going to have to call you back.
00:24:35Are you ever going to bring me my cake?
00:24:37Are you ever going to bring me my cake?
00:24:38The fuck do you want to go there for?
00:24:39You said we were going to Europe in the fall.
00:24:42Breaking the chain.
00:24:55That's not it.
00:24:56Everybody outside.
00:25:04It's mine.
00:25:05Everybody outside.
00:25:05No.
00:25:06What are you doing?
00:25:07This is my stuff.
00:25:08I told you not to talk to my stuff.
00:25:10Get out of here, you little brat.
00:25:11Get out of my bathroom.
00:25:14We can go to Europe anytime.
00:25:16And Philly, we can stay with Sally and the kids.
00:25:18I am not staying with your sister.
00:25:21That's no vacation for me.
00:25:23I'm still recovering from when they were here at Christmas.
00:25:29So am I recovering in my wallet.
00:25:37Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Vegas.
00:25:39The money just goes like water.
00:25:41That's why I'm thinking, honey.
00:25:53We should take advantage of this, okay?
00:25:56Don't you want to see someplace new?
00:25:59My daughter has been to Europe twice already, and I've never been.
00:26:04Honey, we're going to come home broke, okay?
00:26:07I mean, I hear the food is lousy.
00:26:08They make these tiny little sandwiches.
00:26:10And all that walking, you've got to do it.
00:26:12That's a fortune of loving shoes.
00:26:22Don't you have any sense of appreciation of beauty?
00:26:27The only time that I've been out of the country
00:26:29is when I went to Canada with Ted.
00:26:32Look where beauty got him, huh?
00:26:33In the poor house.
00:26:34What are you complaining about, huh?
00:26:42You have a house, a pool, a fancy car?
00:26:45It's always in the shop.
00:26:46So it's in the shop.
00:26:47It's still yours.
00:26:48It's got a license.
00:26:49It reads swell, too, huh?
00:26:51Hmm?
00:26:52Look, what do you want, Marilyn?
00:26:53What else?
00:26:54What do you want?
00:26:54What?
00:26:55What?
00:26:55Look, I'm not saying that Ted is a better man than you.
00:26:58He's a bum.
00:26:59Don't you call my father a bum.
00:27:02Look, any man don't support his kid is a bum.
00:27:05Give me that on the mic.
00:27:06Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
00:27:08What do you think you're doing?
00:27:09Cut it out.
00:27:11Oh, what do you think you're doing, you little buggers?
00:27:14Give me that remote.
00:27:15Grandpa!
00:27:16What are you wearing those crosses for?
00:27:18You're a little Jewish girl.
00:27:20Didn't you know that?
00:27:20Dear Reverend Tom, you and only you have helped me to see the way each day.
00:27:35Even in my saddest times, when I feel like the little meatball that's first to be eaten
00:27:43on a plate of spaghetti, I know the work of God is being done.
00:27:48And I become happy, accepting myself for exactly who I am.
00:27:56I know that evil will get its just two in this world, but it's hard waking up to it each day.
00:28:05I am sending you another $50 so that you can keep on helping peoples like me.
00:28:11I love you very much.
00:28:14Hugs and kisses.
00:28:16Estelle Rodriguez.
00:28:18Freeze!
00:28:30Oh, la-la-la-la.
00:28:36Oh, la-la-la.
00:28:38Oh la la la
00:28:45Oh la la la
00:28:49Qu'est-ce que c'est?
00:28:56I said, I'm going to turn that music down, young lady
00:29:08I didn't know it was bothering anyone
00:29:18It should take a minute to clean this thing out before you go sunbathing
00:29:22Well, I thought it would be okay to relax for a few minutes
00:29:27I only slept an hour on the plane
00:29:28Your sister's been cleaning up out here all year
00:29:34Am I supposed to feel guilty because I've been away at school?
00:29:39Don't be ridiculous
00:29:40I'm just saying you're going to have to help out around here this summer
00:29:43Who said I wouldn't help?
00:29:45It's just...
00:29:47I came home to try to get some writing done
00:29:49Not about all the commotion
00:29:51I don't know how you could forget
00:29:52I thought you said you were going to work
00:29:58That is work, Mom
00:30:01I only paid for my own ticket
00:30:08Look, you had a job at the university
00:30:12When I was your age, I never took a vacation
00:30:15When you were my age, you were married and pregnant with me
00:30:19No difference
00:30:21There is a difference
00:30:23It's a different world, Mom
00:30:25God, you will just never let me be
00:30:27Because I didn't work at Sparky Shoe Repair for ten bucks a week when I was thirteen
00:30:31My father wanted me to learn the value of a dollar
00:30:35I never expected to live off of them when I was grown up
00:30:41Don't worry
00:30:42I don't expect anything from you
00:30:45Besides, look who's talking
00:30:49You live in your parents' house and your husband hardly has a job
00:30:52He is a responsible man
00:30:54He brings in a good living
00:30:55More than your own father
00:30:58Hey, I know that guy
00:31:05Fact or fiction
00:31:06You need a reason to sue somebody
00:31:09Fiction
00:31:10Fact or fiction
00:31:12You need substantial evidence
00:31:14Or a reliable eyewitness to prove a crime
00:31:16Fiction again
00:31:18Fact or fiction
00:31:20You don't need lots of money to take legal action
00:31:24Fact
00:31:26He got Barry a lot of money when he sued Pansker Law
00:31:30Why'd he sue him?
00:31:32He made it look like he tripped on the hangar
00:31:34And then he made it look like it was their fault
00:31:37This guy got him a lot of money
00:31:39Lewis, Lewis, Lewis and Clark
00:31:42Four fellas you can trust
00:31:44That's 1-800-G-E-T-T-H-E-F
00:31:50Don't be a whimp
00:31:53Send your kid to college
00:31:55You must be Marty
00:32:10I'm the handyman
00:32:12Hold on
00:32:15Marty?
00:32:30Yeah, yeah, I'm Marty
00:32:32Malcolm
00:32:32Hi
00:32:34You met Ernest here?
00:32:36Ernest?
00:32:39English?
00:32:40That's right, born and raised
00:32:42But I live in Manhattan now
00:32:45I always thought moms and dads were supposed to love each other
00:32:50Wendy, someone at the door for you
00:32:58For me?
00:33:02Oh, this is Malcolm here, Papa
00:33:04He's from Great Britain
00:33:05What you studying this year, mija?
00:33:14Literature, philosophy
00:33:15Well, that sounds interesting
00:33:18It is
00:33:26Your hair is so pretty
00:33:29You're all grown up
00:33:37You know, you should think about college one day, Estelle
00:33:46No, really, I mean it
00:33:51You're only four years older than me
00:33:54Come on, let's go
00:33:56Oh, I meant to get you a present for your birthday, but I forgot
00:34:04I promise I'm gonna get you one this summer
00:34:06Don't be silly
00:34:07I came here in 1921
00:34:09My parents packed me away in a pot-bellied stove
00:34:13What are you doing here?
00:34:20Caught an early flight on standby
00:34:22Been up all night
00:34:24Too much coke
00:34:26You look smart
00:34:28Could you just swim myself?
00:34:35Can you believe these dogs?
00:34:37Always the same story
00:34:39Mom, this is Malcolm
00:34:40Hello
00:34:42Hello
00:34:44I must say, beauty certainly does run in the family
00:34:47Oh
00:34:49I just wanted to show them your bathroom, Mom
00:34:51Oh, it's a trip
00:34:53Oh, I hope Marty didn't leave it in a mess
00:34:55Fuck
00:35:10Marty, what am I gonna do with you?
00:35:14You are so fly
00:35:16It's...
00:35:18It's...
00:35:18It's...
00:35:20It's...
00:35:23Absolutely fabulous
00:35:27There's the damn cake
00:35:32Oh, dude
00:35:33That shit
00:35:35English, you know
00:35:36What, girl?
00:35:38You know...
00:35:39Him?
00:35:41Him?
00:35:43Nah
00:35:43Not him
00:35:44No, I'm telling you, Ernie
00:35:45Wendy told me
00:35:47I've known plenty of them where I've been
00:35:49I ain't like them
00:35:51Hey, this is the more refined kind
00:35:53Different kind of breed
00:35:54I saw the way I looked at Wendy back there
00:35:57It's time to be wrong, man
00:35:59I found it!
00:36:02Let's go!
00:36:05This is my grandparents' house
00:36:07You know, all the best memories I have of being a kid were here
00:36:10Oh, look, the waterfall's working
00:36:13I love the waterfall
00:36:14Do you see this rock garden?
00:36:17I love the rock garden
00:36:18My grandpa built this for me
00:36:20Well, I helped him
00:36:21I helped him pick out all the little people
00:36:23And little animals
00:36:24There's the goose
00:36:26There's the bunny
00:36:27Chipper, the bunny
00:36:28I call him Chipper
00:36:29Because he looks so chipper
00:36:30And there's the turtle
00:36:32And this is the princess
00:36:34Oh, and the elf
00:36:36I love the elf
00:36:37He's my favorite
00:36:38He's just been hours sitting next to that elf
00:36:40Any chance of a little drink here?
00:36:46So, what are we waiting for?
00:36:48I can't leave right now, doll
00:36:50Ernie's here
00:36:51Hey, don't mind me
00:36:52No, I can't leave my right-hand man all alone
00:36:55While I'm having a ball at the party
00:36:57Maybe you want to come
00:37:01Uh, Marty
00:37:02Could I talk to you for a second?
00:37:05Alright, Ernie
00:37:06Alright, alright, alright
00:37:07I'm not taking him to Sherry's
00:37:12He's a thief
00:37:12He just got out of jail
00:37:13How many times I gotta tell you
00:37:15He didn't do it
00:37:16He was in the wrong place at the wrong time
00:37:19You know, Ernie
00:37:20He's a lot too bright
00:37:21I mean, he didn't know how to defend himself
00:37:24Why do you always have to make things so difficult for me?
00:37:28Your father lives here
00:37:30Grandma's
00:37:30Quiet down
00:37:31I'm getting on
00:37:36No, I want to
00:37:37It's my house
00:37:38I can't swim
00:37:39Go buy one
00:37:40Marty distributes
00:37:48To bedding machines
00:37:49But a use
00:37:51To stock hotel bars
00:37:53Wow
00:37:55The whole closet's full of this stuff
00:37:58It's just sitting around
00:37:59Collecting dust
00:38:00Nobody touches it
00:38:01Where'd you get this?
00:38:19Scored a QP in Washington Square
00:38:21Yeah, what can I say, Ernie?
00:38:24She can't go anywhere as well
00:38:25You don't worry about it
00:38:27See you, Marilyn
00:38:28We're going
00:38:28Give me it
00:38:30You're such a degenerate
00:38:38Maybe you could pay me for half of that
00:38:49See as you're smoking it too
00:38:51I'm serious
00:38:57Just one more hit
00:39:05Bitch
00:39:23Mom
00:39:25Mom
00:39:28Help, Mom
00:39:31I don't like the sound of it
00:39:49I don't like the sound of it
00:39:49I don't like the sound of it
00:40:01Why don't you look at that?
00:40:04I can't believe it
00:40:06Gracie
00:40:09You ain't a little hero
00:40:11Gracie, Mica, what's going on?
00:40:14What is going on?
00:40:16What's going on, Mica?
00:40:17It's a lie
00:40:18She is my fool
00:40:20My little hero
00:40:22Marilyn, call the papers
00:40:24What? You crazy?
00:40:25I happen to be serious
00:40:26This is a big news item
00:40:27Get them caught
00:40:27Saved by tyke
00:40:28I like that
00:40:29Go get me the towel.
00:40:59I'm on the phone.
00:41:29Why don't you come on over here and sit next to me?
00:41:44Come on.
00:41:59Do you remember all the fun we had at the G-Spot last week?
00:42:20I was totally blasted.
00:42:21So was I.
00:42:29Wendy, if you don't get off me, I'm going to fuck your lights out and it won't be sweet.
00:42:46I should call Brian.
00:42:48What for?
00:42:50He's out here.
00:42:52He comes from L.A.
00:42:56He said he'd take me clubbing.
00:42:58We'll go to clubs.
00:42:59We'll do all kinds of cool things.
00:43:01Don't get sarcastic with me.
00:43:02I'm just so sick and tired of doing these crappy little stupid stories.
00:43:06Put the camera over there.
00:43:08Wendy, there's paparazzi out here.
00:43:12Get the keys.
00:43:13What do you think they want?
00:43:15I don't know.
00:43:16There they are.
00:43:17Hello.
00:43:17Some famous athlete moved in across the street.
00:43:20There's always shit going on.
00:43:21Right this way, boys.
00:43:28Come on in.
00:43:35Channel 81.
00:43:41Okay, okay.
00:43:42You stand right here.
00:43:43Are you family?
00:43:45Yeah.
00:43:46All right.
00:43:47You?
00:43:47Of course, you're a family.
00:43:51We know that.
00:43:56Hi, I'm Pam.
00:43:57Hi.
00:43:58Nice camera.
00:44:00I'm the neglected middle child.
00:44:04What the?
00:44:05Caught.
00:44:06Saved by tyke.
00:44:07That was my idea.
00:44:09For the record, Tracy, she's my half-sister.
00:44:12Do you think you could spit some water out of your mouth?
00:44:14Oh, must be the times.
00:44:17Are you family?
00:44:19God, no.
00:44:20Oh.
00:44:21Oh, but I live here.
00:44:22Let's just get a shot over here, all right?
00:44:25You're the first aid to the world here.
00:44:27Is your the first aid to get a shot?
00:44:28Hello?
00:44:29Hello?
00:44:33Marty, would you get that first aid kit?
00:44:35My name's Steve, and this is Raphael.
00:44:50We're from the Helping Hands program.
00:44:52We're asking for donations from the community
00:44:53to help send inner-city kids like Raphael to summer camp.
00:44:57Oh.
00:44:59Will you take a check?
00:45:01Sure.
00:45:02Okay, just a minute.
00:45:03Oh, what a babe.
00:45:10Will you take cash?
00:45:12No problem.
00:45:14Okay.
00:45:19I'm the boss, sir.
00:45:20I'm the boss.
00:45:21Can we take pictures here of me and my two girls?
00:45:24I'm directing the show.
00:45:25Get back, get back.
00:45:26We need her.
00:45:28Marty, will you give me ten bucks?
00:45:30The water man's here.
00:45:31What water man?
00:45:32We don't get no water.
00:45:33Mom ordered it.
00:45:35The tap's disgusting.
00:45:37It's true.
00:45:38Tap water is very unhealthy.
00:45:41They only give us filter in the slime.
00:45:43Yeah, well, I just don't like her ordering things without informing me.
00:45:47I'm sure it wasn't oversight.
00:45:48Just give me ten bucks, Marty.
00:45:50Well, tell me to wait.
00:45:51I'm busy here.
00:45:52Don't get smart with me.
00:45:58Okay.
00:45:58What's with that woman?
00:45:59She could have at least come in with a close-up.
00:46:01I mean, nice, tight shot of the kid.
00:46:03Do you have ten bucks?
00:46:04What?
00:46:05It's for a good cause.
00:46:06Let me see.
00:46:08Let me see.
00:46:12Oh, oh, oh.
00:46:13Wendy?
00:46:14I'm thinking about her job.
00:46:16How do you all put a child up here?
00:46:17You know, we need to get the credit for her outfits and space.
00:46:20You need it now completely.
00:46:21Brian!
00:46:23Dude!
00:46:25Malky!
00:46:26You're here!
00:46:29Yeah!
00:46:31Yeah, I'm here.
00:46:32Aren't you going to the freaking party?
00:46:34Welcome to Smell-A, baby!
00:46:45Shit!
00:46:47I know Mom keeps a hundred bucks in here somewhere for emergencies.
00:46:51I'm sorry, Pammy.
00:46:53I'm just going to have to wait until your mommy pays me next.
00:46:58Dang, Estelle!
00:46:59Why do you have to give all your money to that stupid preacher?
00:47:06Guys, look, you've got to put your camera right about here.
00:47:09Where are you?
00:47:10In the valley?
00:47:12Nah, it sucks.
00:47:14With Wendy?
00:47:16That wench?
00:47:17How good.
00:47:21You do want to see me, don't you?
00:47:24Look at that side.
00:47:25Yeah.
00:47:26Yeah.
00:47:28With so much, so much stuff that we're going to do, like on Friday, we're going to get a
00:47:31cheery.
00:47:32And then, in West Hollywood, after that, we're going to get this really, really good after-hours
00:47:36club that I know about.
00:47:37Watch out for the shadow.
00:47:37Why don't you get that pretty little butt of yours up here and join the party?
00:47:44Huh?
00:47:45No, I'm coming.
00:47:46I'm coming.
00:47:47Trust me.
00:47:49Mom, the water man.
00:47:51Stop with your story about the water man.
00:47:53I am not giving you money for drugs.
00:47:58What's all the racket?
00:47:59We're going to be in a noose.
00:48:00Pop?
00:48:01It's Grandpa.
00:48:02Grandpa most swell to you.
00:48:04I'm in hell.
00:48:05I'm in hell.
00:48:05I'm in, I'm in, I'm in quarter hell.
00:48:08Check your phone.
00:48:09Okay, I'm checking.
00:48:10I'm in swell hell.
00:48:11Then we're going to go on Saturday.
00:48:13We're going to go to...
00:48:14For the house.
00:48:17Not now, Dad.
00:48:19I've got my hands full.
00:48:22Go ahead, Ernie.
00:48:23Get the door.
00:48:24Okay, let's do a rehearsal.
00:48:26Look right into the camera and tell us what happened.
00:48:28I was trying to help her get the raft out of the pool, and then she fell in.
00:48:33I yelled for help, but no one heard me.
00:48:36They had the TV on.
00:48:37Don't say that, Tracy.
00:48:38I mean...
00:48:41Ow.
00:48:42Jesus, Pop, what is it?
00:48:44Over the house.
00:48:48Well, that's really sweet of you, Pop.
00:48:50Look here, Ernie.
00:48:52Pop's contributing.
00:48:53You see this, Marilyn?
00:48:54Huh?
00:48:54It's a very thoughtful gesture.
00:48:56Where did you get these, Pop?
00:49:00Carl's Jr.
00:49:02Carl's Jr.?
00:49:04No kidding.
00:49:06You'll never guess who I saw while I was there.
00:49:09Cary Grant.
00:49:11Cary Grant's dead, Pop.
00:49:13No, no, no.
00:49:13It was Cary Grant.
00:49:15Handsome devil.
00:49:16But I kept saying to myself,
00:49:18what is Cary Grant doing in Carl's Jr.?
00:49:22This will be funny.
00:49:26Let me see the face.
00:49:35Let me see the face.
00:49:36Perfect.
00:49:37Perfect.
00:49:38Okay.
00:49:38Hold that, okay?
00:49:42It's the best I can do.
00:49:44I don't think you understand.
00:49:45We need funds to help send the kids to the summer camp.
00:49:48You mean you don't want it?
00:49:54Fine, you don't want it.
00:49:59I hate this house.
00:50:06This is not what I expected.
00:50:08It's nothing like what I expected.
00:50:10What did you expect?
00:50:11I mean, what did I expect?
00:50:13Yeah, what did you expect?
00:50:14A little bit more than this shit.
00:50:16Bunch of weirdos.
00:50:21Hey, Stell.
00:50:23Want to go to church?
00:50:30Hey, Stell.
00:50:31You want to come to church with me?
00:50:36Fuck.
00:50:37Sucks!
00:50:38Why can't you drive me to Brian's?
00:50:44You were supposed to come here to see me.
00:50:46We were supposed to be together.
00:50:47Brian's parents are gone for the summer.
00:50:51He's all alone in some huge mansion in Bel Air.
00:50:54Brian's a creep.
00:50:59He's okay, company, if you're not sober.
00:51:01Well, give me 20 bucks.
00:51:14I'll take a cab.
00:51:18I blew all my money coming back from duty free.
00:51:21That'll wire me some more cash tomorrow.
00:51:23I don't have 20 bucks.
00:51:24Ask your mother.
00:51:32You are so pathetic.
00:51:33You are the most selfish, immature narcissist.
00:51:37At least I'm not some pretentious, suburban wannabe.
00:51:42Like you.
00:51:45Lee.
00:51:46Lee, if you want.
00:51:48Fine.
00:51:49I guess I'll just have to call Brian then, won't I?
00:51:52Ask him to come and pick me up.
00:51:54You can do it.
00:52:00Yeah.
00:52:02I hate me.
00:52:06Yes.
00:52:14Look at that son.
00:52:15Let's get that son.
00:52:15Let's get that guy in with the hairy chest, okay?
00:52:17Let's bring him in.
00:52:18Okay.
00:52:20Excuse me, sir.
00:52:21Mr. Mr. Swell.
00:52:23Mr. Swell, please come over here.
00:52:25Yes.
00:52:26We want to interview you and ask you what happened.
00:52:27Okay.
00:52:28Okay.
00:52:30Kind of like Lauren Swell, kind of.
00:52:32A little bit.
00:52:36Okay.
00:52:38How have you been?
00:52:39Oh, fine.
00:52:40How are you?
00:52:41I'm good.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:43You look great.
00:52:49Welcome.
00:52:49Do you want to...
00:52:52Do you want to go to church sometime?
00:52:56You go to church?
00:52:57Yeah.
00:52:58Really?
00:52:59Yeah.
00:52:59I didn't think of you as a church man, really.
00:53:03I'm a church man.
00:53:04St. Christopher.
00:53:05Oh, that's beautiful.
00:53:07Yeah.
00:53:07All right.
00:53:08Let's get the hands over here.
00:53:09Can we light up a shot?
00:53:10You know, like, so, so what?
00:53:31So we could get to the party.
00:53:33So what?
00:53:33Big deal.
00:53:34We could always go to that party.
00:53:35I mean, how many times do we get to be on the news, huh?
00:53:38On full color and then TV and everyone's going to watch it.
00:53:42You, you, your family priests might see it back in, you know, New York.
00:53:46Who knows?
00:53:46New Jersey.
00:53:48This is really great.
00:53:50We can't, uh, we can't blow this one, Marilyn.
00:53:51We've got to have this one.
00:53:52What a day, all this excitement.
00:53:57No different from any other day.
00:53:59Right, Arne?
00:54:03You know, I've had it with these backyard stories.
00:54:07Ugh!
00:54:08I want to do hard news.
00:54:10Thanks so much for the hospitality.
00:54:27Oh, you're most welcome.
00:54:31Anytime, Judy.
00:54:32Randy?
00:54:52All right?
00:54:54Leave me alone.
00:54:59Leave me alone.
00:55:00I know, I know, I know your friend left and you're upset about it.
00:55:08You don't understand.
00:55:10Well, he seemed to take it very well.
00:55:17What is it, honey?
00:55:20What is it?
00:55:25What is it, cousin Nova?
00:55:27What is it, Doug?
00:55:30I'm in love with him.
00:55:38Oh.
00:55:40Well, he seemed to be a very nice young man.
00:55:44He's not.
00:55:49He said he was coming here to see me.
00:55:52He just ended up using me for his own pathetic purposes.
00:55:54Have you been intimate?
00:56:12Yes.
00:56:16And then he just pretended like it didn't even happen.
00:56:20I hate men.
00:56:21And I hate Marty.
00:56:27Him and that disgusting convict chased him away.
00:56:30No, you don't know that.
00:56:32I do.
00:56:35You're so low class.
00:56:38You know, nobody even understands why you married that pig.
00:56:43Wendy, please.
00:56:44Why did you marry him?
00:56:53Well, he used to be really nice to me.
00:56:55You know, what a great, what a great, what a great chance to be back here.
00:57:10Now, there's a, a little kind of a business matter I've been meaning to talk to you about.
00:57:15Oh, no.
00:57:18I ain't done my time.
00:57:20No, wait, wait.
00:57:21Ernie, baby, that was not my fault, okay?
00:57:25I mean, I just sold the machine.
00:57:27How was I supposed to know that these bums are going to put an alarm on it?
00:57:30I mean, who ever heard of such a thing, huh?
00:57:31A lock, maybe, but not an alarm.
00:57:34Um, I'll try to get you out of there.
00:57:42Yeah?
00:57:43Mm-hmm.
00:57:45Well, thanks for coming to visit.
00:57:48And the cookies.
00:57:51Hey, the least I can do for my partner, huh?
00:57:55Mm-hmm.
00:57:59Now, look, this situation.
00:58:02No risk, huh?
00:58:04Marilyn's got this coat.
00:58:09Mint coat, huh?
00:58:11She don't use it no more because it's a gift I got her, you know, about 10 years ago when we were dating.
00:58:18We keep her insurance on it, you know.
00:58:22So the coat is still worth a lot.
00:58:25Get my drift?
00:58:26Yeah.
00:58:27Okay.
00:58:28I think.
00:58:29Good.
00:58:30What I'm suggesting is take a look at the coat.
00:58:34Huh?
00:58:34Huh?
00:58:35It's in the closet in the study, in Estelle's room.
00:58:39Estelle ain't there at night because she's up there watching that preacher man she's so much in love with, you know?
00:58:44What I want you to do is examine the merchandise, okay?
00:58:49Take the coat with you and then see if you can find us a buyer.
00:58:54We make an insurance claim on it like it's been stolen.
00:58:57And Marilyn, she buys herself a new coat.
00:59:01Hey, she's going to be a lot more happier.
00:59:04And we keep the money.
00:59:07Exactly, yeah.
00:59:0850-50 this time.
00:59:11Partner.
00:59:16Oh, hey, hold, hold.
00:59:18Let Estelle get it.
00:59:19She's the maid.
00:59:20Estelle, the doorbell.
00:59:22Oh, hi, Mike.
00:59:30Is Wendy here?
00:59:31She's in her room.
00:59:33You could go on back.
00:59:36Hey, hi, Mike.
00:59:38How's school?
00:59:39Good, Mr. Swell.
00:59:41Real good.
00:59:41I'm joining the college track team this fall.
00:59:47Important for a man to be able to run, huh?
00:59:58Hello.
01:00:05It's for you.
01:00:11Marty Swell.
01:00:14Peggy.
01:00:15Shut it, you lying prick.
01:00:17You have lied to me since the day we met.
01:00:20Peggy, calm down.
01:00:21Take it easy.
01:00:36Wendy?
01:00:37Mike?
01:00:45I heard you were home.
01:00:51Home.
01:00:53God, I wish there was a place that felt like home.
01:01:01Tell me about it.
01:01:03I've been home a week.
01:01:04My parents are already driving me nuts.
01:01:07I'm headed back to Berkeley tonight.
01:01:31Tonight?
01:01:32How am I going to hang out with all summer?
01:01:35You want to do a bong hit?
01:01:36Why not?
01:01:41Fuck reality.
01:01:54I can just see you in New York.
01:01:56Sitting in the back of a cab.
01:01:58Going down Fifth Avenue.
01:02:00Smoking a doobie.
01:02:02Why don't you come and visit?
01:02:10$3.
01:02:22You should come to Berkeley if you want to get away I'll make you bet on the dorm floor
01:02:52Sometimes I just fantasize about never coming back
01:03:05Mike, did you see a car here when you drove up?
01:03:14Your mom's car?
01:03:15No, Marty's, the caddy, my mom's is in the shop
01:03:18No, I don't think so
01:03:22Oh, God
01:03:32No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, he couldn't have done that to me
01:03:38No, that's just, that's just way too fucked
01:03:40That's just way too fucked
01:03:43What's going on?
01:03:45Okay, maybe they went
01:03:50Maybe mom went alone
01:03:53Maybe Marty left with that jerk
01:03:54Is there something I can do?
01:03:58Listen, Mike, I think something really bad has gone down, I mean really bad
01:04:01Are you sure you're not just being paranoid?
01:04:04I don't know, maybe
01:04:06Oh, God, I hope so
01:04:08I think, I'm not sure
01:04:10Listen, can you just hang out a second?
01:04:14You just might be witness to a murder
01:04:16Mine
01:04:17I don't care
01:04:47Oh, you scared me.
01:05:07What is it?
01:05:09Um, nothing.
01:05:10I thought maybe you went to the party.
01:05:12After today?
01:05:14Forget it.
01:05:14I'm pooped.
01:05:15We'll take Sherry for breakfast this week.
01:05:18For her birthday.
01:05:20Dinner.
01:05:21Maybe we'll get takeout.
01:05:22Maybe tie?
01:05:24Delivery?
01:05:25Yeah, I'll have it delivered.
01:05:27I'm not going anywhere.
01:05:29Okay, that's a good idea, Mom.
01:05:30You look tired.
01:05:32You rest, okay?
01:05:34Okay.
01:05:34Honey is tight.
01:05:42You get sick when you're old, and, you know, especially for the folks in the old folks' home.
01:05:46I mean, you know, here, I'm just there.
01:05:48Oh, my God.
01:05:54Hello?
01:05:55Hi.
01:05:56Uh, Mrs. Thomas?
01:05:58Yeah, hi.
01:05:59This is, uh, Wendy.
01:06:01Wendy?
01:06:01Wendy Schumann.
01:06:02You know, uh, Malcolm's friend?
01:06:04You were here for dinner last week, weren't you?
01:06:07We had lamb.
01:06:09Yeah, right, right.
01:06:10Oh, Malcolm's on his way out to see you, isn't he?
01:06:13Has he arrived yet?
01:06:15No.
01:06:16No, he's, he's not here yet.
01:06:18No, I'm expecting him later.
01:06:21Yeah.
01:06:21Um, listen, the reason I'm calling is, um, I just, I just want to know, do you happen
01:06:26to know Malcolm's friend, Brian?
01:06:28Brian?
01:06:30No, I don't think I ever recall a Brian having dinner here.
01:06:33No, he, he lives out here in L.A., in Bel Air.
01:06:36I was wondering if, if maybe you knew his number.
01:06:38And why don't you try 411?
01:06:40I don't know his last name.
01:06:49Yeah, well, see, um, I was thinking, you know, since Malcolm's coming out to L.A.
01:06:53and everything, um, that maybe I could get together some of his friends he knew from school
01:06:57and maybe we could have a little welcome to L.A. party for him.
01:07:01Oh.
01:07:02Yes, I'm sure he'd adore that.
01:07:04Yeah, I know how he likes parties.
01:07:08Look, I'm sorry, dear, I really can't help you, but I just don't recall a Brian.
01:07:13No, no, no, that, that's okay.
01:07:15I think I have to go now.
01:07:17Bye-bye, dear.
01:07:18Yeah, okay.
01:07:19Bye.
01:07:23Bye.
01:07:26Fuck.
01:07:30What's going on?
01:07:31Something really awful.
01:07:32Come on.
01:07:35You don't understand.
01:07:37I'm talking about Grand Theft Auto here.
01:07:40Huh?
01:07:41All right, look.
01:07:42This friend of mine came from New York for a visit.
01:07:45And he stole the car.
01:07:48Kind of my ex-boyfriend.
01:07:50Your boyfriend?
01:07:52Oh, yeah.
01:07:52It's a long, idiotic story, but this is not just going to blow over.
01:07:56Oh, my God.
01:07:57Do you know where he went?
01:07:59Yeah.
01:07:59To the palace of some queen named Brian in Bel Air.
01:08:02Can't you call his parents?
01:08:07I tried.
01:08:09Believe me, they don't know anything about Brian.
01:08:15Look, if you know it's in Bel Air, the cops are going to track it down.
01:08:18I can't believe he did this to me.
01:08:26Some vacation.
01:08:28It's not your fault.
01:08:30It is.
01:08:31He was my friend, and of course it has to be Marty's car.
01:08:35I just want to disappear and die.
01:08:38Hey, here it is.
01:08:58That's me, that's me.
01:08:59That's me, that's me.
01:09:00Me too.
01:09:02I helped her get the raft out of the pool, and then she fell in.
01:09:04I jumped in, and then I put my arm around her neck, and then I carried her to shore.
01:09:10Great.
01:09:11You carried her to shore?
01:09:12Yeah.
01:09:13Excuse me, are you with the family?
01:09:14What?
01:09:15You are with the family, and were you here when she drowned?
01:09:22Yeah, caught safe by tight.
01:09:25We have two little stars right here at the table.
01:09:27Yeah, and one of them nearly had to drown to get there.
01:09:30Why do you always have to be so negative?
01:09:33Tracy, eat your meat crumb.
01:09:34I don't want to.
01:09:35It's good.
01:09:36It tastes like candy.
01:09:37I want candy for dinner.
01:09:38Where's Wendy?
01:09:40Um, probably in her room, sleeping or crying.
01:09:43I'm going to go tell her we're eating.
01:09:47Why do I have to?
01:09:49Wait a minute.
01:09:53Yo, bitch!
01:10:02She's not there, Mom.
01:10:04Maybe she went out.
01:10:05Well, she better not take in the car.
01:10:06She's not insured.
01:10:07I thought you said you were going to take care of that for the summer.
01:10:11Not in my car.
01:10:12She's going to drive yours when it gets out of the shop.
01:10:14This car's for a celebration.
01:10:16For the hero.
01:10:18The re, yeah!
01:10:19And the heary!
01:10:20Right.
01:10:23Don't we get a danish or something for a candle?
01:10:25My sister's cake.
01:10:27There you go.
01:10:28We might as well use it.
01:10:29Mm-hmm.
01:10:34Sometimes I envy Estelle.
01:10:37Having something to belong to.
01:10:40Something to believe in.
01:10:42Which nobody can deny.
01:10:50Which nobody can deny.
01:10:53Which nobody can deny.
01:10:56But they are jolly good fellows.
01:10:57Delicate fellows, but they are delicate fellows, but they are delicate fellows, which nobody can deny.
01:11:09Woo! Warm out! Warm out!
01:11:15Just less than a few hours ago, I still thought someday I'd have a little flat with Malcolm.
01:11:21Maybe a family.
01:11:25Fantasies.
01:11:27How much they fulfill.
01:11:29The true sense of the word, they fill you up.
01:11:34When you've been away a while, you think your family has the potential to be the Brady Bunch,
01:11:39and it's just your bad attitude that's causing the rupture.
01:11:44But then you get home, and you realize that it's much more than that.
01:11:50That you never felt connected in the first place.
01:11:52If you ever did, it was a long time ago.
01:11:59Why do we need to connect?
01:12:12The highest good we can strive for is to live with happiness and contentment.
01:12:22Webster's Dictionary defines contentment as the ability to be happy with what one has or is,
01:12:32not desiring something more or different to be satisfied.
01:12:35Dad, the Bible tells us to bless you and persecute you.
01:12:44You needed anything, Pop?
01:12:46It's drafty in here.
01:12:48I'll get you some extra blankets, huh?
01:12:55Why can't we just get by alone?
01:13:00In our own little bubbles.
01:13:01When we hang out, we sit down on the back ground.
01:13:15We can talk to him in here.
01:13:24How are you doing this?
01:13:24There was no way, in love.
01:13:26Clayton Peter, we can't learn everything, us.
01:13:27Oh, here we go.
01:13:29Where are you несколько mails?
01:13:30There's no way.
01:13:30Connections.
01:13:32They seem so fleeting.
01:13:40They come and go,
01:13:42but we want to hold on to them.
01:14:00Monty, slow down!
01:14:22Life obviously involves a lot more alone time
01:14:26than it does together time.
01:14:30Even though together is what we seem to strive for.
01:14:44Oh, my God.
01:14:58Oh, my God.
01:15:05My father.
01:15:06Let me die, please.
01:15:08I thought I heard something.
01:15:24You scared me.
01:15:26You scared the shit out of me.
01:15:28What are you doing?
01:15:30I'm hiding.
01:15:32Don't tell.
01:15:34Why?
01:15:36Malcolm stole the car.
01:15:40No way.
01:15:44Are we going to bust him?
01:15:46I'm going to be back in New York.
01:15:50Here.
01:15:52I'm leaving Mom a full electronic explanation.
01:15:56Do you ever see Dad in New York?
01:16:00Sometimes.
01:16:02On holidays.
01:16:04He sent me a stuffed walrus last Christmas.
01:16:08Remember how I used to love walruses?
01:16:10When I was six.
01:16:12Yeah, well...
01:16:14I guess that's where he kind of left off.
01:16:18You're so lucky.
01:16:20I mean, you can just go.
01:16:22I'm still in prison.
01:16:24You'll be out soon.
01:16:28When I get older,
01:16:30I'm going to be a singer.
01:16:32In a really cool band.
01:16:34I'm going to blow everyone away.
01:16:36You watch.
01:16:38And I'm going to go on tour all around the world.
01:16:42And my picture's going to be plastered everywhere.
01:16:48And when they want to see me,
01:16:50they're going to have to pay.
01:16:52Big time.
01:16:58Good night.
01:17:04I love you.
01:17:08I love you too, sis.
01:17:22I love you too.
01:17:24I love you too.
01:17:26It isn't through.
01:17:27Never wait until he used it.
01:17:28But just be � on top of the cradle.
01:17:30One of the curtains is in Bloom's face.
01:17:32But just keep on showing you.
01:17:34Hopefully it's틀 chemistry and I don't have to allow you.
01:17:36So close up in particular.
01:17:37Folks can definitely stop front and stand you out.
01:17:39Welcome aggipesic room.
01:17:41We will play.
01:17:43How did you identify?
01:17:45I like my puerta ve backs.
01:17:47I will be satisfied.
01:17:49Okay.
01:17:50You can just drop me off at SFO. I'll wait for the next flight.
01:17:57You sure you don't want to come across a bay?
01:18:00You can crash at my place for a while.
01:18:05No.
01:18:07I gotta get back to New York, you know?
01:18:09I'll recruit for the summer.
01:18:15I can get my old job back at school.
01:18:17Oh, I need the drive, though. You know, clear my head.
01:18:24Clear out.
01:18:28Mike?
01:18:31Do you ever wonder what your kids will be like?
01:18:34I wonder if they'll have buck teeth like me.
01:18:38Get all that buck teeth.
01:18:43No.
01:18:43I mean, are they gonna hate us as much as we hate our parents?
01:18:50We've got the same screwed-up relationships.
01:18:54Don't know.
01:18:57They say you end up just like your folks.
01:19:00Sorry.
01:19:20Bong water.
01:19:20Come on.
01:19:26Mike?
01:19:27Pull over. I think I need air.
01:19:30After all I know...
01:19:31I'll grab a walk.
01:19:33Oh, okay.
01:19:53I don't know.
01:19:57I don't know.
01:19:58What's wrong?
01:20:23I just gotta know. Things will be different.
01:20:28There's... there's gotta be a chance. Things will change.
01:20:33I mean...
01:20:35Things will be different for us.
01:20:40They will be. When we have our own families, right?
01:20:49Come on.
01:20:51You can sleep in the car. I'll wake you when we get there.
01:20:58That was my last summer home.
01:21:05For a long time, anyway.
01:21:08I thought I'd walk away with all the answers, but...
01:21:11I only ended up with more questions.
01:21:17Never did finish my book.
01:21:19Maybe it'll take a lifetime to get it right.
01:21:23Because the more I wonder, the more I write.
01:21:28It's the more I write.
01:21:31It's the more I write.
01:21:33That's my last...
01:21:37It's the more I write.
01:21:39My life is my life.
01:21:41I love you.
01:21:43I love you.
01:21:45Or I love you.
01:21:47It's the more I write.
