00:00:00 When people hassle me about actually liking airplane or cafeteria food, I try to explain
00:00:07 to them. I grew up with a divorced, working mom who never had the time or patience for
00:00:15 anything fresh. Frozen her package was what I was weaned on. Except for when she made
00:00:21 her one dish, disguised a hundred different ways. Chicken, chicken cacciatore, chicken
00:00:29 Florentine, Hawaiian chicken. Then mom had it with working and the single parent gig
00:00:36 and moved us from New York to California with this swell guy she married. Marty Swell. At
00:00:47 one time the name must have been Swellstein or Svelovitz. But somehow back in the day
00:00:59 at Ellis Island, someone must have gotten lazy or impatient or inspired and entered
00:01:06 my step granddad into the US of A as just plain old Swell. At least they had the decency
00:01:15 not to add another L to make it a synonym for wonderful. I remember my summer vacation
00:01:26 home after my first year away at college. I'd gone back to New York to study creative
00:01:31 writing at NYU. So I was eager to show off my new sophisticated persona. At the same
00:01:36 time probe my roots. My plan was to write a book, my story, and return to the Big Apple
00:01:43 with a definitive tale of the dysfunctional family and launch my literary career. I was
00:01:48 only 19 but I saw myself as someone distant and apart. An able observer to dissect and
00:01:55 expose the key to what makes a family tick. Or in this case, twist. I'd only been gone
00:02:01 nine months but that household seemed like a million light years away. That was until
00:02:06 I stepped off the plane.
00:02:14 Welcome aboard flight 584 departing New York JFK International Airport for Los Angeles.
00:02:19 Our flight time will be five hours and 49 minutes.
00:02:23 Wendy!
00:02:25 Wendy?
00:02:26 Wendy!
00:02:27 Mom, hi.
00:02:28 Hi! Oh darling, oh my goodness. Let me look at you. You got one of those New York haircuts?
00:02:34 Yes, it's adorable.
00:02:36 I'm so glad to see you, my darling. I've missed you so much. I can't believe it's been a whole year.
00:02:42 I'm sorry, I gotta get my luggage.
00:02:44 Is that your backpack?
00:02:59 No, that's not mine. Wait, no, I think that's it over there.
00:03:03 Sir, could you help us?
00:03:05 Thank you so much, you're such a kind person.
00:03:08 It's okay.
00:03:12 No, no, you're a lady. You should let a nice gentleman take your baggage. Thank you so much.
00:03:16 That's okay, I'll take it, thanks.
00:03:18 Can we go?
00:03:26 Of course, honey.
00:03:27 I need the keys to open the trunk.
00:03:29 Alright. Okay, it's just down this aisle, I'm sure of it. Yeah, that's it. That's the car right there. Remember this car?
00:03:34 Yeah, I remember it.
00:03:36 What is that on... a ticket?
00:03:39 How could they give me a ticket? How can they give anybody a ticket around here?
00:03:48 It's a meter, you need to put enough change in the meter.
00:03:50 Of course I put enough change in the meter. What? I put... I loaded it up with change.
00:03:54 It's been like a half an hour.
00:03:56 How could there be traffic on the 405 at 7.30 in the morning?
00:04:03 L.A., Mom, there's always traffic. That's why it's so great in New York, you don't even need a car.
00:04:08 Well, you know, I've been talking to Marty about getting one of these car phones.
00:04:13 Oh, Mother, that's so Hollywood.
00:04:14 They're very expensive. You should see the bills we've been racking up lately.
00:04:17 Marty is on the phone all the time.
00:04:19 Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!
00:04:32 Fire! Fire! Fire!
00:04:37 My half-sister. Although I'd get a smack if I ever called her half to her face.
00:04:42 You ruined the toast and Tracy almost set the goddamn house on fire.
00:04:46 I was making pizza. Look, more fire.
00:04:50 The housekeeper's daughter. A tidbit of normality.
00:04:54 You're right, kid, you're right. Hand me that baking soda.
00:04:58 Hey, Daddy, he's not your Daddy. You don't have one.
00:05:02 Where you been, huh? I've been here waiting for you.
00:05:04 Don't aggravate me. The traffic was murder.
00:05:06 Yeah, well, the kids almost burned the house to the ground, for Christ's sake. I mean...
00:05:09 I leave for one hour and you can't take care of them.
00:05:12 Mommy!
00:05:13 Well, hon, Estelle's supposed to be here. She's been gone all morning.
00:05:17 Oh, Marty.
00:05:19 Estelle, the housekeeper. Will she ever have the guts to leave?
00:05:23 Stop barking! Mom!
00:05:27 Stop it, Tracy! You're driving me nuts!
00:05:29 Your skin looks good. Real good. You only got a few of them left.
00:05:33 A real piece of work. And he always knew where to hit.
00:05:37 Stand still! The door wasn't even locked. I can't believe you just leave it open.
00:05:44 Silly, it's broad daylight. Marty's here.
00:05:48 So? What the killers do now is they get rid of the men first, and then they rape and kill the women.
00:05:54 Or they kill them, and then they rape them.
00:05:57 Can we please not talk about such things?
00:06:00 I can't believe you don't know all this. You live in L.A. Don't you read the paper?
00:06:04 Did you take my paper?
00:06:06 How could I take your paper? I just got here.
00:06:09 What's rape, Mommy?
00:06:11 You see? You see the ideas you're giving your little sister?
00:06:14 How do you tell your mother she's in denial when her only response is, "I am not"?
00:06:19 I'm not giving them to her. They exist.
00:06:23 Mr. Park, my friend, I was just going to call you.
00:06:27 No! My wife, she tell me call you.
00:06:30 [Speaking Korean]
00:06:32 Hey!
00:06:33 Go get ready for the party.
00:06:35 What party?
00:06:37 Your Aunt Sherry's birthday.
00:06:39 I just got off a plane. I'm exhausted. How come no one told me about this?
00:06:42 You no understand, my friend. You no sell fruit juice, huh?
00:06:47 You sell soda and cigarettes, huh?
00:06:50 No! My wife, she say buy fruit juice machine.
00:06:53 Where is that little bitch?
00:06:55 Hey, watch that language.
00:06:56 God, where is it?
00:06:58 My blood sister gone bad.
00:07:01 You know, I'm just going to let you see for yourselves how the whole mess played out that day.
00:07:07 God damn it!
00:07:10 No, no, no, no, no, no. The kids, they come, they see the fruit juice, they go to the 7-Eleven mini-mall, and they buy soda and cigarettes.
00:07:17 [Speaking Korean]
00:07:20 That bread stills my makeup that I saved my allowance for, for months.
00:07:24 And all you have to say is watch that language.
00:07:27 Quiet.
00:07:28 She talks like a truck driver.
00:07:30 If I would have talked like that when I was her age, I would have been grounded for a month.
00:07:34 But no, not her. She's your daughter.
00:07:37 Have you cleaned the pool yet?
00:07:39 Mr. Swell.
00:07:41 Huh?
00:07:42 I have to clean the pool. I have to wash the cars. Why can't Estelle do it? She's the maid.
00:07:46 She ain't the maid. She is the housekeeper.
00:07:49 Yeah, right.
00:07:50 Mr. Swell.
00:07:51 Okay, wise-ass, now you're not going to the party. Go to your room.
00:07:55 Mr. Swell.
00:08:01 Mr. Park.
00:08:04 Fifteen. It's the age. She's like a firecracker about to explode. Go get ready.
00:08:09 [Crying]
00:08:36 You give kids what they want, Mr. Park. They pay money.
00:08:40 No, we don't make money. We lose money.
00:08:43 It reeks of weed, you know.
00:08:49 Who cares? I can walk down the hall with the needle sticking out of my arm. You think they'd notice?
00:08:55 There's life out there. Shit.
00:08:59 And Mr. Swell had to come to your store and wheel away machine.
00:09:04 Marty, get on. We have to get going.
00:09:06 Then you know it'll be happy, Mr. Park.
00:09:08 [Crying]
00:09:35 [Crying]
00:09:40 The effects of neglect.
00:09:43 [Crying]
00:09:47 Are you two ready?
00:09:49 I'm not going. I'm grounded.
00:09:51 Don't be silly. This is family.
00:09:54 I'm not one of you. That's just biological.
00:09:57 Oh, that's real nice. What am I going to tell your Aunt Sherry?
00:10:01 Mommy, Mommy, Mommy.
00:10:03 What's going on, honey?
00:10:04 I love you, Mommy.
00:10:06 I love you too, sweetheart.
00:10:08 Can I go swimming, Mommy?
00:10:09 No, we're going to Aunt Sherry's birthday.
00:10:12 Oh, Tracy.
00:10:18 Hello.
00:10:20 You've been tracking it all over the house.
00:10:22 It smells.
00:10:23 Estelle.
00:10:25 Here I am, Mrs. Swell.
00:10:28 We were looking everywhere for you.
00:10:31 Have you been?
00:10:33 I was jogging.
00:10:35 Oh, Tracy stepped in poopoo.
00:10:37 Hi. Come here, Tracy.
00:10:38 What is this dog doing in the house?
00:10:40 I'm sorry, Mrs. Swell. I put him in my room.
00:10:43 Come on, dog.
00:10:44 Estelle, you don't have to put them in your room.
00:10:47 I'll see you next week.
00:10:49 Mr. Swell will see you next week.
00:10:51 Bye-bye, Mr. Park. Bye-bye.
00:10:55 Marty.
00:10:57 I'm talking to a client.
00:10:58 We are supposed to be at the party already. You're not even dressed.
00:11:01 I'm trying to make some money.
00:11:03 Party? Party? What's this about a party?
00:11:06 Oh, hi, Pop.
00:11:07 Good morning.
00:11:09 Did I hear you say good morning, young lady?
00:11:11 Good morning, Dad.
00:11:13 Now, what's all this about a party?
00:11:16 I've been asking you all week if you wanted to come. You told me no.
00:11:19 Nobody told me anything about a party.
00:11:28 Well, well, well. Look who's here. It's Wilma.
00:11:33 Wendy.
00:11:34 Did I hear you say good morning?
00:11:38 Oh, thank you.
00:11:40 Oh, please, Mrs. Swell.
00:11:42 Hey, get off of my jacket, Tracy.
00:11:46 Tracy, off the jacket.
00:11:49 Aren't you coming?
00:11:51 Me?
00:11:52 Yes, you and Chrissy are part of the family.
00:11:55 [music]
00:12:13 The heir, pregnant with chaos.
00:12:16 You're hurting me. Say it.
00:12:20 Ow!
00:12:22 [music]
00:12:32 Wendy, hand me that cake, will you?
00:12:35 Mom, can't you redecorate or something? This place looks like 1970.
00:12:39 If I have the time. Dad, you coming?
00:12:42 I wasn't invited.
00:12:44 What?
00:12:49 Nothing. Let's go.
00:12:51 Is anybody else coming, too?
00:12:53 Sherry can use some help in the kitchen.
00:12:56 Lock up, Dad.
00:12:58 Mom, does he have to smoke that thing?
00:13:07 Marty?
00:13:08 No, I like cigars, Senor Swell.
00:13:10 All right, all right. Pipe down, geez.
00:13:13 Don't say his name in vain.
00:13:15 I didn't. I said, "Geez," like cheese.
00:13:18 You're making my kid into a fanatic.
00:13:20 Let's go. The machine will pick up.
00:13:22 My dad might answer. Not know what he's saying.
00:13:26 Could be a client.
00:13:28 They call all day and night.
00:13:29 Could be a deal.
00:13:31 Go get it, then.
00:13:32 You go.
00:13:33 [phone ringing]
00:13:40 [phone ringing]
00:13:49 Hello? Hello?
00:13:52 Hello? Hello? Hello?
00:13:57 Hello?
00:13:58 Gracias, Tocotinco.
00:14:02 Hello?
00:14:03 Hello? Hello?
00:14:08 [phone ringing]
00:14:11 They hung up.
00:14:13 So?
00:14:14 It was that crazy friend of yours, that drunken Peggy person.
00:14:19 So what do you want me to do?
00:14:21 You expect me to believe that she's a client.
00:14:24 [laughing]
00:14:26 Oh, Marty.
00:14:28 Hey, I told you. She gives me leans.
00:14:30 I gotta be nice to her.
00:14:32 Oh, you're so nice.
00:14:33 You are nicer to her than you are your own family.
00:14:37 Come on, girls. We go pick lemons.
00:14:40 Is that the only time you're nice?
00:14:42 When you're with your little whore?
00:14:44 Hey, hey, watch your mouth.
00:14:46 The familiar isolation.
00:14:53 I'll be the mommy picking lemons for my family.
00:14:59 I want to.
00:15:01 Mommies have blonde hair like me.
00:15:03 Chrissy, you let Tracy be the mommy this time.
00:15:05 You be it next time.
00:15:06 Don't give in to her, Estelle.
00:15:08 She's a spoiled little brat.
00:15:10 Fuck you.
00:15:11 Oh, Mr. Big Shot Nice Guy, oh yeah.
00:15:15 What do you think?
00:15:16 You think you can take me for an idiot?
00:15:17 You think I'm stupid like your first wife?
00:15:20 Like Sheila you used to lock in the closet?
00:15:23 I'm like no one in the closet.
00:15:24 What are you talking about, huh?
00:15:26 Yeah, that's not what someone told me.
00:15:28 I heard about you and your filthy ways.
00:15:31 Your hair's cute.
00:15:33 You think?
00:15:35 It's the new wave look.
00:15:37 Looks good on skinny girls with no tits.
00:15:40 My finger, you beast.
00:15:46 She comes after you with a nutcracker.
00:15:48 The woman is loony, psycho.
00:15:50 Keep it down in there, will ya?
00:15:52 The car is still running.
00:15:54 Well, turn it off then.
00:15:55 I thought we were going.
00:15:57 I will go by myself.
00:16:00 Get out of my way.
00:16:05 Oh, God.
00:16:08 Poor little baby.
00:16:10 What did she do to you, huh?
00:16:12 Oh, could you, could you, you sweet little thing?
00:16:15 You want some love, huh?
00:16:17 How about Daddy make you some eggs?
00:16:19 Some eggs with cheese, huh?
00:16:22 We try to bring them with the neighbor's dog,
00:16:24 but this one won't give her the time of the day
00:16:26 and your mother thinks she's a homo.
00:16:29 Here you go, sweetheart.
00:16:32 So, you hungry?
00:16:35 No, I ate on the plane.
00:16:37 Okay.
00:16:40 Let's see what we got.
00:16:44 Hey, Marty.
00:16:47 I asked my mom to ask you.
00:16:49 Ask me what?
00:16:51 Well, I guess she didn't.
00:16:54 Ask me what?
00:16:56 Well, I was telling Mommy that my friend Malcolm
00:16:58 is coming from New York for the summer.
00:17:00 You know, his parents wanted to get him out of the city and...
00:17:03 You want some Jack or you want some chair, huh?
00:17:08 Anyway, um, you know,
00:17:13 his family has treated me like their own daughter
00:17:15 and I was wondering, you know,
00:17:17 if we move a mattress into the den, could he stay?
00:17:19 Absolutely not.
00:17:20 No boys stay in the house.
00:17:24 I'm almost 20 years old.
00:17:26 My mother said it was all right.
00:17:28 Look, I make the rules around here.
00:17:30 No boys in the house and that is it.
00:17:40 Why does he always have to do this when it's my family?
00:17:43 You said you were going to ask him.
00:17:45 About what?
00:17:46 About Malcolm.
00:17:48 I did ask him.
00:17:50 He said he'd have to think about it.
00:17:54 What do you want me to do?
00:17:56 He's only coming tonight, Ma.
00:18:06 Look, Marty, he's my best friend.
00:18:08 He's coming 3,000 miles.
00:18:10 I don't care if he comes from Kalamazoo.
00:18:12 He can stay in a hotel.
00:18:14 I'm going to swim.
00:18:20 Look, the truth is, he's gay.
00:18:22 We're like sisters.
00:18:24 Well, now he's not swimming here.
00:18:26 No fairies in my pool.
00:18:28 Fairies?
00:18:30 Are you from the ice age?
00:18:32 They're called gay.
00:18:33 Gay, get it?
00:18:34 Because they're happy.
00:18:35 Happy fairies.
00:18:38 I knew you would say no.
00:18:41 Certainly I'm going to say no.
00:18:42 I'm not staying in my house.
00:18:46 Your house.
00:18:47 Your pool.
00:18:49 Your kingdom, Mr. Big Authority.
00:18:51 As it so happens, it is my mother's house, and it was her parents'.
00:18:54 You know you better quit while you're ahead.
00:18:58 That's just swell.
00:19:01 My best friend can't come and stay for one summer, but your mistresses can call all day long.
00:19:07 You were just lucky my mother's in denial.
00:19:09 She only sees what she wants to. The rest of us knows, you scum.
00:19:12 I hope one morning you never wake up.
00:19:19 Wendy?
00:19:20 Why did you have to marry him?
00:19:22 We were fine before.
00:19:25 She's done.
00:19:27 She's home from college for the summer.
00:19:29 I don't want any trouble.
00:19:33 I'm going.
00:19:34 Now you're going?
00:19:36 Like that?
00:19:37 I'm going for the grub. There's nothing to eat in this house.
00:19:40 You look like a ghoul.
00:19:42 I think I look good.
00:19:44 Now what are boys going to say when they see you walking around like that?
00:19:47 Well, they'll think that she comes from the circus.
00:19:49 Bozo.
00:19:51 If anyone looks like a circus performer, it's you.
00:19:54 And plus, that's not my aim in life, to have a boyfriend.
00:19:58 I hate men.
00:20:00 You're such a beautiful girl. I don't know why you have to mess yourself up.
00:20:04 Beauty sucks.
00:20:06 Don't say that word.
00:20:08 It's an onomatopoeia.
00:20:10 Sounds like it means "sucks."
00:20:12 Watch it.
00:20:13 Can we just go?
00:20:15 Wendy!
00:20:31 Tracy, sit in front with me.
00:20:33 I want to sit with you, Mom.
00:20:35 You sit in front with me. I'm your mother.
00:20:37 Come on.
00:20:43 Let me air. I can't breathe.
00:20:45 Hold your horses.
00:20:47 Mom, I'm going to barf.
00:20:49 Shit.
00:20:50 What now?
00:20:51 I forgot the cake.
00:20:55 Now you can have a firmer fanny with the Fanny Sizer from Farmco.
00:21:00 Just shake, shake, shake.
00:21:02 What the hell is it?
00:21:06 Mira, I don't see the ivy's been watered.
00:21:08 Why don't you do it yourself?
00:21:10 You're lazy, Senor Swell.
00:21:13 You'll be sad when you see you're no more lazy.
00:21:15 Then no more work.
00:21:17 Then you and Chrissy no more home.
00:21:19 Then back to El Casa y Médico.
00:21:22 Okay!
00:21:39 Move over!
00:21:40 I am.
00:21:41 More!
00:21:43 Where is it?
00:21:51 I don't know, Missy Swell.
00:21:53 Marty!
00:21:55 Is my sister's cake in there?
00:22:00 We're leaving as soon as I find it.
00:22:14 Shit!
00:22:27 Honey, you gotta stop calling me here.
00:22:29 Marty!
00:22:30 Let me call you.
00:22:32 You said you were going to take me to Palm Springs today!
00:22:36 You promised!
00:22:42 Mira, make me some meat, huh?
00:22:45 Papi, want some quibbles?
00:22:46 No, I've had my breakfast, son.
00:22:48 It's almost lunchtime.
00:22:50 I don't want to be any trouble.
00:22:52 No trouble, Bob.
00:22:53 Right, Mira?
00:22:54 No problem.
00:22:55 Attagirl.
00:23:03 Ernie!
00:23:04 Baby, you're back!
00:23:05 How you doing, man?
00:23:07 It is good to see you.
00:23:09 Did they let you out of the slammer?
00:23:12 Pamela, lovely as ever.
00:23:14 She sure is.
00:23:15 Pammy's grown since the last time you've seen her, Ernie.
00:23:18 She's a big girl now.
00:23:20 Big.
00:23:22 Not out of the bottle!
00:23:24 It makes me feel like I'm in a commercial.
00:23:27 I don't care how it makes you feel, not out of the bottle.
00:23:29 It's disgusting.
00:23:38 Excellent kippers, Mira.
00:23:39 Excellent.
00:23:41 Hello, Ernie.
00:23:44 I'm going to call Sherry and tell her we'll be there for dessert, okay?
00:23:47 We have to.
00:23:48 We're bringing the cake.
00:23:53 If I ever find the goddamn thing.
00:23:56 Hey, Sherry!
00:23:57 Are you coming?
00:23:59 I have the cake.
00:24:00 We're coming.
00:24:01 Why are you doing this to me?
00:24:04 Why did you do this to me?
00:24:06 Why does everything have to be about you?
00:24:11 Well, I'm your baby sister.
00:24:14 I need you here.
00:24:17 [TV]
00:24:26 What do you want me to say?
00:24:28 I can't get any cooperation around here.
00:24:30 Marilyn, off the phone, huh?
00:24:31 Honey, I'm going to have to call you back.
00:24:34 You ever going to bring me my cake?
00:24:37 What do you want to go there for?
00:24:39 You said we were going to Europe in the fall.
00:24:50 Breaking the chain.
00:24:54 That's not it.
00:25:00 [arguing]
00:25:14 We can go to Europe any time.
00:25:15 And Philly we can stay with Sally and the kids.
00:25:18 I am not staying with your sister.
00:25:20 There's no vacation for me.
00:25:22 I'm still recovering from when they were here at Christmas.
00:25:29 You're my recovery.
00:25:30 You're my wallet.
00:25:36 Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Vegas,
00:25:38 the money just goes like water.
00:25:40 [phone ringing]
00:25:50 Quiet and think, honey.
00:25:52 You should take advantage of this, okay?
00:25:55 Don't you want to see someplace new?
00:25:58 My daughter has been to Europe twice already,
00:26:01 and I've never been.
00:26:03 Honey, we're going to come home broke, okay?
00:26:06 I mean, I hear the food is lousy,
00:26:08 they make these tiny little sandwiches,
00:26:10 and all that walking you got to do it.
00:26:12 That's a fortune of love and shoes.
00:26:22 Don't you have any sense of appreciation, of beauty?
00:26:26 The only time that I've been out of the country
00:26:28 is when I went to Canada with Ted.
00:26:31 Look where beauty got him, in the ball house.
00:26:39 What are you complaining about, huh?
00:26:41 You have a house, a pool, a fancy car.
00:26:44 It's always in the shop.
00:26:45 So it's in the shop, it's still yours,
00:26:47 it's got a license that reads "Swell 2," huh?
00:26:52 Look, what do you want, Marilyn, what else?
00:26:53 What do you want, what, what?
00:26:54 Look, I'm not saying that Ted is a better man than you.
00:26:57 He's a bum.
00:26:58 Don't you call my father a bum.
00:27:01 Look, any man who doesn't support his kid is a bum.
00:27:04 Give me that, I'm not--
00:27:06 Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey,
00:27:07 what do you think you're doing?
00:27:08 Cut it out.
00:27:10 Oh, what do you think you're doing, you little buggers?
00:27:13 Give me that remote.
00:27:14 Grandpa!
00:27:15 What are you wearing those crosses for?
00:27:17 You're a little Jewish girl, didn't you know that?
00:27:25 Dear Reverend Tom,
00:27:27 you and only you have helped me to see the way each day.
00:27:34 Even in my saddest times,
00:27:36 when I feel like the little meatball
00:27:40 that's first to be eaten on a plate of spaghetti,
00:27:44 I know the work of God is being done,
00:27:48 and I become happy accepting myself for exactly who I am.
00:27:55 I know that evil will get its just due in this world,
00:27:59 but it's hard waking up to it each day.
00:28:04 I am sending you another $50
00:28:07 so that you can keep on helping people like me.
00:28:10 I love you very much.
00:28:13 Hugs and kisses, Estelle Rodriguez.
00:28:22 Freeze!
00:28:25 [gasps]
00:28:27 [music playing]
00:28:30 ♪ ♪
00:28:53 ¿Qué es lo que dice?
00:28:55 I said I'm going to turn that music down, young lady.
00:29:00 ♪ ♪
00:29:15 I didn't know it was bothering anyone.
00:29:18 It should take a minute to clean this thing out
00:29:20 before you go sunbathing.
00:29:23 Well, I thought it would be okay to relax for a few minutes.
00:29:26 I only slept an hour on the plane.
00:29:31 Your sister's been cleaning up out here all year.
00:29:35 Am I supposed to feel guilty because I've been away at school?
00:29:38 Don't be ridiculous.
00:29:40 I'm just saying you're going to have to help out around here this summer.
00:29:43 Who said I wouldn't help?
00:29:45 It's just I came home to try to get some writing done.
00:29:49 Not about all the promotion.
00:29:51 I don't know how you could forget.
00:29:56 I thought you said you were going to work.
00:29:59 That is work, Mom.
00:30:05 I only paid for my own ticket.
00:30:10 Look, you had a job at the university.
00:30:12 When I was your age, I never took a vacation.
00:30:16 When you were my age, you were married and pregnant with me.
00:30:19 No difference.
00:30:21 There is a difference.
00:30:22 It's a different world, Mom.
00:30:25 God, you will just never let me be
00:30:27 because I didn't work at Sparky Shoe Repair for ten bucks a week when I was 13.
00:30:31 My father wanted me to learn the value of a dollar.
00:30:37 I never expected to live off of them when I was grown up.
00:30:41 Don't worry.
00:30:42 I don't expect anything from you.
00:30:47 Besides, look who's talking.
00:30:49 You live in your parents' house and your husband hardly has a job.
00:30:52 He is a responsible man.
00:30:54 He brings in a good living.
00:30:56 More than your own father.
00:31:03 Hey, I know that guy.
00:31:05 Fact or fiction?
00:31:06 You need a reason to sue somebody.
00:31:09 Fiction.
00:31:10 Fact or fiction?
00:31:12 You need substantial evidence or a reliable eyewitness to prove a crime.
00:31:16 Fiction again.
00:31:18 Fact or fiction?
00:31:20 You don't need lots of money to take legal action.
00:31:25 Fact.
00:31:27 He got Barry a lot of money when he sued Pants Galore.
00:31:30 Why'd he sue him?
00:31:32 He made it look like he tripped on the hangout
00:31:34 and then made it look like it was their fault.
00:31:37 This guy got him a lot of money.
00:31:39 Lewis, Lewis, Lewis and Clark.
00:31:42 Four fellas you can trust.
00:31:45 That's 1-800-T-E-T-H-E-F.
00:31:52 Don't be a wimp.
00:31:53 Send your kid to college.
00:32:09 You must be Marty.
00:32:11 I'm the handyman.
00:32:14 I'm the dildo.
00:32:27 Marty?
00:32:30 Yeah, I'm Marty.
00:32:32 Malcolm.
00:32:33 Hi.
00:32:34 You met Ernest here?
00:32:36 Ernest.
00:32:38 Huh, English?
00:32:40 That's right, born and raised.
00:32:42 I live in Manhattan now though.
00:32:47 I always thought moms and dads were supposed to love each other.
00:32:56 Wendy, someone at the door for you.
00:32:58 For me?
00:33:02 This is Malcolm here, Papa.
00:33:03 He's from Great Britain.
00:33:08 What are you studying this year, mija?
00:33:13 Literature, philosophy.
00:33:16 Well, that sounds interesting.
00:33:25 It is.
00:33:27 Your hair's so pretty.
00:33:35 You're all grown up.
00:33:38 Oh, yeah.
00:33:42 You know, you should think about college one day, Estelle.
00:33:49 No, really, I mean it.
00:33:52 You're only four years older than me.
00:33:55 Come on, let's go.
00:34:00 I meant to get you a present for your birthday, but I forgot.
00:34:03 I promise I'm going to get you one this summer.
00:34:05 Don't be silly.
00:34:06 I came here in 1921.
00:34:09 My parents packed me away in a pot-bellied stove.
00:34:18 What are you doing here?
00:34:20 Coronelly Flight Hunts standby.
00:34:22 Been up all night.
00:34:24 Too much coke.
00:34:26 You look smart.
00:34:28 I could use a swim myself.
00:34:35 Can you believe these dogs?
00:34:37 Always the same story.
00:34:39 Mom, this is Malcolm.
00:34:41 Hello.
00:34:43 Hello.
00:34:44 I must say, beauty certainly does run in the family.
00:34:49 I just wanted to show him your bathroom, Mom.
00:34:51 Oh, it's a trip.
00:34:53 I hope Marty didn't leave it in the mess.
00:35:09 Fuck.
00:35:12 Marty, what am I going to do with you?
00:35:14 You're a fucking slut.
00:35:16 It's--
00:35:18 Do it.
00:35:19 It's--
00:35:22 It's--
00:35:25 Absolutely fabulous.
00:35:29 There's the damn cake.
00:35:33 That kid, English, you know?
00:35:36 What?
00:35:38 You know him?
00:35:40 Him?
00:35:42 Nah, not him.
00:35:43 No, I'm telling you, Ernie.
00:35:45 Wendy told me.
00:35:47 I've known plenty of them where I've been.
00:35:49 They ain't like him.
00:35:50 Hey, this is the more refined kind.
00:35:52 Different kind of breed.
00:35:55 I saw the way he looked at Wendy back there.
00:35:57 It's time to go, man.
00:35:59 I found it!
00:36:01 Let's go.
00:36:04 This is my grandparents' house.
00:36:06 You know, all the best memories I have of being a kid were here.
00:36:09 Oh, look, the waterfall's working.
00:36:12 I love the waterfall.
00:36:14 Do you see this rock garden?
00:36:16 I love the rock garden.
00:36:18 My grandpa built this for me.
00:36:20 Well, I helped him.
00:36:21 I helped him pick out all the little people and little animals.
00:36:24 There's the goose.
00:36:26 There's the bunny.
00:36:27 Chipper the bunny.
00:36:28 I call him Chipper because he looks so chipper.
00:36:31 And there's the turtle, and this is the princess.
00:36:34 Oh, and the elf.
00:36:36 I love the elf.
00:36:37 He's my favorite.
00:36:38 I used to spend hours sitting next to that elf.
00:36:40 I need to challenge a little drink here.
00:36:46 So what are we waiting for?
00:36:48 I can't leave right now, doll.
00:36:50 Ernie's here.
00:36:51 Don't mind me.
00:36:53 No, I can't leave my right-hand man all alone while I'm having a ball at the party.
00:36:59 Maybe you want to come?
00:37:01 Marty, could I talk to you for a second?
00:37:04 All right, Ernie.
00:37:05 All right, all right, all right.
00:37:10 I'm not taking him to Sherry's.
00:37:11 He's a thief.
00:37:12 He just got out of jail.
00:37:14 Sometimes I got to tell you, he didn't do it.
00:37:16 He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
00:37:19 You know, Ernie, he's not too bright.
00:37:21 I mean, he didn't know how to defend himself.
00:37:24 Why do you always have to make things so difficult for me?
00:37:28 Your father lives here, Gramps.
00:37:30 Shut it, doll.
00:37:34 I'm getting on.
00:37:35 No, I want to.
00:37:37 It's my house.
00:37:38 I can't swim.
00:37:39 I want to buy one.
00:37:47 Marty distributes to vending machines.
00:37:50 But he used to stock hotel bars.
00:37:54 Wow.
00:37:56 The whole closet's full of his stuff.
00:37:58 It's just sitting around collecting dust.
00:38:00 It's just a little bit of his assets.
00:38:15 Did you get this?
00:38:20 Scored a Q.P. in Washington Square.
00:38:24 What can I say, Ernie?
00:38:25 You can't go anywhere without me.
00:38:27 Don't worry about it.
00:38:28 I'm not going anywhere.
00:38:30 Give me it!
00:38:37 You're such a degenerate.
00:38:47 Maybe you could pay me for half of that.
00:38:49 See, you're smoking it, too.
00:38:56 It's obvious.
00:39:03 Just one more hit.
00:39:22 You're such a bitch!
00:39:48 I like the sound of that.
00:40:02 Will you look at that?
00:40:03 I can't believe it.
00:40:08 Gracie!
00:40:09 Hey, little hero.
00:40:11 Gracie, what's going on?
00:40:13 What is going on?
00:40:16 It's a lie. She lied to me.
00:40:19 My little hero.
00:40:21 Marilyn, call the papers.
00:40:23 What, are you crazy?
00:40:24 I happen to be serious. This is big news item.
00:40:26 Hot, saved by Tyke.
00:40:27 I like that.
00:40:28 Go get me the towel.
00:40:30 I'm telling you, Marilyn, they're going to eat this thing up by tomorrow.
00:40:33 The phone is going to be ringing off the hook.
00:40:35 Oh, just what we need.
00:40:55 Focus.
00:41:18 I'm going to get you.
00:41:40 Why don't you come over here and sit next to me?
00:42:09 Do you remember all the fun we had at the G-spot last week?
00:42:19 I was totally blasted.
00:42:21 So was I.
00:42:36 Wendy, if you don't get off me, I'm going to fuck your lights out and it won't be sweet.
00:42:45 I should call Brian.
00:42:47 What for?
00:42:49 He's out here.
00:42:51 Comes from L.A.
00:42:55 He said he'd take me clubbing.
00:42:57 We'll go to clubs. We'll do all kinds of cool things.
00:43:07 Wendy, there's paparazzi out here.
00:43:12 What do you think they want?
00:43:14 I don't know.
00:43:17 Some famous athlete moved in across the street.
00:43:19 There's always shit going on.
00:43:26 Right this way, boys. Come on in.
00:43:34 Channel 81.
00:43:40 Okay, okay.
00:43:42 You stand right here. Are you family?
00:43:46 All right, you.
00:43:48 Okay.
00:43:50 Of course you're family. We know that.
00:43:55 Hi, I'm Pam.
00:43:56 Hi.
00:43:57 Nice camera.
00:43:59 I'm the neglected middle child.
00:44:04 What the?
00:44:05 Caught. Saved by tank. That was my idea.
00:44:08 For the record, Tracy, she's my half-sister.
00:44:11 Think you could spit some water out of your mouth?
00:44:15 Oh, must be the times.
00:44:16 Are you family?
00:44:18 God, no.
00:44:19 Oh.
00:44:20 But I live here.
00:44:22 Let's just get a shot over here, all right?
00:44:28 Hello?
00:44:33 Marty, would you get that first aid kit?
00:44:48 My name's Steve, and this is Rafael.
00:44:49 We're from the Helping Hands program.
00:44:51 We're asking for donations from the community to help send inner-city kids like Rafael to summer camp.
00:44:56 Oh.
00:44:58 Will you take a check?
00:45:00 Sure.
00:45:01 Okay, just a minute.
00:45:05 Oh, what a babe.
00:45:10 Will you take cash?
00:45:11 No problem.
00:45:13 Okay.
00:45:18 I'm the boss, sir. I'm the boss.
00:45:21 Can we take pictures here of me and my two girls?
00:45:23 I'm directing the show.
00:45:25 Get that kid back. We need her.
00:45:27 Marty, will you give me ten bucks?
00:45:29 The water man's here.
00:45:31 What water man? We don't get no water.
00:45:33 Mom ordered it.
00:45:34 The tap's disgusting.
00:45:36 It's true. Tap water is very unhealthy.
00:45:40 They only give us filter in this climate.
00:45:43 Yeah, well, I just don't like her ordering things without informing me.
00:45:46 I'm sure it wasn't oversight. Just give me ten bucks, Marty.
00:45:49 Well, tell him to wait. I'm busy here.
00:46:01 So, do you have ten bucks?
00:46:04 It's for a good cause.
00:46:07 Let me see.
00:46:13 Wendy!
00:46:21 Brian!
00:46:22 Dude.
00:46:24 Malky, you're here.
00:46:29 Yeah. Yeah, I'm here.
00:46:32 Aren't you going to the freaking party?
00:46:34 Welcome to Smelly, baby.
00:46:45 Shit.
00:46:47 I know Mom keeps a hundred bucks in here somewhere for emergencies.
00:46:52 I'm sorry, Pammy.
00:46:53 I'm just going to have to wait until your mommy pays me next.
00:46:58 You know what, Stout? Why do you have to give all your money to that stupid preacher?
00:47:09 Where are you?
00:47:10 In the valley.
00:47:12 Nah, it sucks.
00:47:14 With Wendy? That wench?
00:47:17 How gross.
00:47:21 You do want to see me, don't you?
00:47:25 Yeah.
00:47:33 Thank you.
00:47:38 Why don't you get that pretty little butt of yours up here and join the party?
00:47:44 No, I'm coming. I'm coming. Trust me.
00:47:48 Mom, the water man.
00:47:50 I'm stuck with your story about that water man. I am not giving you money for drugs.
00:47:57 What's all the racket? We're going to be in the news, Pop.
00:48:00 Mom, do you have-
00:48:01 It's Grandpa. Grandpa Moleswell to you.
00:48:03 I'm in hell. I'm in hell. I'm in- I'm in- I'm in- I'm in- Order help.
00:48:07 I'll check your phone.
00:48:08 Okay, I'm checking. I'm in swell hell.
00:48:11 Then we're going to go on Saturday. We're going to go to-
00:48:13 Hey, look, please. Find a-
00:48:14 Yeah, that's all.
00:48:15 For the house.
00:48:17 Not now, Dad. I've got my hands full.
00:48:22 Go ahead, Erin. Get the door.
00:48:24 Okay, let's do a rehearsal. Look right into the camera and tell us what happened.
00:48:29 I was trying to help her get the raft out of the pool, and then she fell in.
00:48:33 I yelled for help, but no one heard me. They had the TV on.
00:48:36 Don't say that, Tracy. I mean-
00:48:41 Ow, ow.
00:48:42 Jesus, Pop. What is it?
00:48:44 I'm trying to help her get the raft out of the house.
00:48:48 Well, that's really sweet of you, Pop.
00:48:51 Now, look here, Ernie. Pop's contributing.
00:48:53 You see this, Marilyn? Huh?
00:48:55 It's a very thoughtful gesture.
00:48:57 Where did you get these, Pop?
00:49:00 Carl's Jr.
00:49:02 Carl's Jr.? No kidding.
00:49:06 You'll never guess who I saw while I was there.
00:49:09 Cary Grant.
00:49:11 Cary Grant's dead, Pop.
00:49:13 It was Cary Grant.
00:49:15 Handsome devil.
00:49:16 But I kept saying to myself, "What is Cary Grant doing in Carl's Jr.?"
00:49:33 Let me see that face. Let me see that face.
00:49:36 Perfect. Perfect. Okay. Hold that, okay?
00:49:42 It's the best I can do.
00:49:44 I don't think you understand, Mary. We need funds to help send the kids to the summer camp.
00:49:48 You mean you don't want it?
00:49:53 Fine. You don't want it.
00:49:59 I hate this house.
00:50:06 This is not what I expected.
00:50:08 It's nothing like what I expected.
00:50:10 What did I expect?
00:50:12 Yeah, what did you expect?
00:50:13 A little bit more than this shit.
00:50:15 A bunch of weirdos.
00:50:20 Hey, Stell.
00:50:22 You want to go to church?
00:50:29 Hey, Stell.
00:50:30 You want to come to church with me?
00:50:35 Fuck.
00:50:42 Why can't you drive me to Brian's?
00:50:44 You were supposed to come here to see me. We were supposed to be together.
00:50:47 Brian's parents are gone for the summer.
00:50:50 He's all alone in some huge mansion in Bel-Air.
00:50:53 Brian's a creep.
00:50:58 He's okay, company, if you're not sober.
00:51:10 Well, give me 20 bucks.
00:51:13 I'll take a cab.
00:51:17 I blew all my money coming back from duty free.
00:51:20 Dad will wire me some more cash tomorrow.
00:51:23 I don't have 20 bucks.
00:51:27 Ask your mother.
00:51:31 You are so pathetic.
00:51:33 You are the most selfish, immature narcissist.
00:51:37 At least I'm not some pretentious, suburban wannabe like you.
00:51:45 Leave. Leave if you want.
00:51:47 Fine.
00:51:49 I guess I'll just have to call Brian then, won't I?
00:51:52 Ask him to come and pick me up.
00:51:59 Dad.
00:52:13 Look at that, sir. Let's get that, sir.
00:52:15 Let's get that item over there in the chest, okay?
00:52:17 Let's bring him in.
00:52:20 Excuse me, sir. Mr. Swell. Mr. Swell, can you please come over here?
00:52:24 Yes. We want to interview you and ask you what happened.
00:52:27 Okay.
00:52:30 Kind of like Lawrence Welk, huh?
00:52:32 A little bit.
00:52:35 Okay.
00:52:37 How have you been?
00:52:38 Oh, fine. How are you?
00:52:41 I'm good.
00:52:43 You look great.
00:52:47 Thank you.
00:52:48 You're welcome.
00:52:51 Do you want to go to church sometime?
00:52:56 You go to church?
00:52:57 Yeah.
00:52:58 Really?
00:52:59 Yeah.
00:53:00 I didn't think of you as a church man, really.
00:53:02 I'm a church man.
00:53:04 Saint Christopher.
00:53:05 Oh, that's beautiful.
00:53:11 [phone ringing]
00:53:29 You know, like, so what? So we didn't get to the party. So what? Big deal.
00:53:33 We could always go to that party.
00:53:35 I mean, how many times do we get to be on the news, huh?
00:53:38 You know, on full color and TV and everyone's going to watch you.
00:53:42 Your family priest might see you back in, you know, New York. Who knows? New Jersey.
00:53:48 This is really great.
00:53:49 We can't blow this one, Marilyn. We've got to have this one.
00:53:54 What a day, all this excitement.
00:53:56 No different from any other day. Right, hon?
00:54:03 You know, I've had it with these backyard stories.
00:54:07 I want to do hard news.
00:54:25 Thanks so much for the hospitality.
00:54:26 Oh, you're most welcome.
00:54:31 Anytime, Judy.
00:54:48 Randy?
00:54:52 Leave me alone.
00:55:01 I know, I know your friend left and you're upset about it.
00:55:08 You don't understand.
00:55:10 Well, he seemed to take it very well.
00:55:17 What is it, honey? What is it?
00:55:24 What is it, Casanova?
00:55:26 What is it?
00:55:33 I'm in love with him.
00:55:37 Oh. Well, he seemed to be a very nice young man.
00:55:43 He's not.
00:55:48 He said he was coming here to see me.
00:55:51 He just ended up using me for his own pathetic purposes.
00:56:06 Have you two been intimate?
00:56:11 Yes.
00:56:15 And then he's just pretending like it didn't even happen.
00:56:19 I hate men.
00:56:25 And I hate Marty. Him and that disgusting convict chased him away.
00:56:29 No, you don't know that.
00:56:32 I do.
00:56:35 And you're so low class.
00:56:37 You know, nobody even understands why you married that pig.
00:56:42 Wendy, please.
00:56:44 Why did you marry him?
00:56:53 Well, he used to be really nice to me.
00:57:09 Now, there's a little kind of a business matter I've been meaning to talk to you about.
00:57:16 Oh, no. I ain't done my time.
00:57:20 No, wait. Ernie, baby, that was not my fault, okay?
00:57:24 I mean, I just sold him the machine.
00:57:26 How was I supposed to know that these bums were going to put an alarm on it?
00:57:29 I mean, who ever heard of such a thing, huh?
00:57:31 A lock, maybe, but not an alarm.
00:57:37 I'll try to get you out of there.
00:57:41 Yeah?
00:57:45 Well, thanks for coming to visit.
00:57:48 And the cookies.
00:57:50 Hey, the least I can do for my partner, huh?
00:57:58 Now, look, this situation, no risk.
00:58:06 Marilyn's got this coat.
00:58:09 Mint coat.
00:58:11 She don't use it no more because it's a gift I got her, you know, about ten years ago when we were dating.
00:58:17 We keep her insurance on it, you know, so the coat is still worth a lot.
00:58:24 Get my drift?
00:58:25 Yeah.
00:58:26 Okay.
00:58:27 What do you think?
00:58:28 Good.
00:58:29 What I'm suggesting is take a look at the coat, huh?
00:58:34 It's in the closet in the study, in Estelle's room.
00:58:38 Estelle ain't there at night because she's up there watching that preacher man she's so much in love with, you know?
00:58:44 What I want you to do is examine the merchandise, okay?
00:58:49 Take the coat with you and then see if you can find us a buyer.
00:58:53 We make an insurance claim on it like it's been stolen.
00:58:56 And Marilyn, she buys herself a new coat.
00:59:00 Hey, she's going to be a lot more happier.
00:59:04 And we keep the money.
00:59:06 Exactly, yeah.
00:59:08 50/50 this time.
00:59:11 Partner.
00:59:16 Wait, hold, hold.
00:59:17 Let Estelle get it.
00:59:18 She's the maid.
00:59:20 Estelle, the doorbell.
00:59:27 Oh, hi Mike.
00:59:29 Is Wendy here?
00:59:31 She's in her room.
00:59:33 She's not here.
00:59:36 She's gone back.
00:59:38 Hey, hey, hi Mike.
00:59:39 How's school?
00:59:41 Good, Mr. Swell, real good.
00:59:47 I'm joining the college track team this fall.
00:59:49 Important for a man to be able to run, huh?
00:59:59 [siren]
01:00:04 It's for you.
01:00:10 Marty Swell.
01:00:13 Peggy.
01:00:15 Shut it, you lying prick.
01:00:16 You have lied to me since the day we met.
01:00:19 Peggy, calm down.
01:00:20 Take it easy.
01:00:22 [siren]
01:00:35 Wendy?
01:00:40 Mike?
01:00:45 I heard you were home.
01:00:51 [laughs]
01:00:53 God, I wish it was a place that felt like home.
01:01:01 Tell me about it.
01:01:02 I've been home a week.
01:01:03 My parents are already driving me nuts.
01:01:28 I'm headed back to Berkeley tonight.
01:01:30 Tonight?
01:01:31 What am I going to hang out with all summer?
01:01:34 You want to do a bong hit?
01:01:36 Why not?
01:01:40 Fuck reality.
01:01:54 I can just see you in New York,
01:01:56 sitting in the back of a cab,
01:01:58 going down Fifth Avenue,
01:02:00 smoking a doobie.
01:02:02 Why don't you come and visit?
01:02:04 Yeah.
01:02:27 [music]
01:02:41 You should come to Berkeley if you want to get away.
01:02:45 I'll make you bed on the dorm floor.
01:03:02 Sometimes I just fantasize about never coming back.
01:03:09 Mike?
01:03:11 Did you see a car here when you drove up?
01:03:13 Your mom's car?
01:03:15 No, Marty's, the Caddy.
01:03:16 My mom's is in the shop.
01:03:20 No, I don't think so.
01:03:31 Oh, God.
01:03:33 What's wrong?
01:03:34 No, no, no.
01:03:35 No, no.
01:03:36 No, he couldn't have done that to me.
01:03:37 No, that's just way too fucked.
01:03:40 That's just way too fucked.
01:03:44 What's going on?
01:03:49 Okay, maybe they went.
01:03:51 Maybe Mom went alone.
01:03:53 Maybe Marty left with that jerk.
01:03:55 Is there something I can do?
01:03:57 Listen, Mike, I think something really bad has gone down.
01:04:00 I mean, really bad.
01:04:02 Are you sure you're not just being paranoid?
01:04:05 I don't know, maybe.
01:04:07 Oh, God, I hope so.
01:04:09 I'm not sure.
01:04:10 Listen, can you just hang out a second?
01:04:13 You just might be witness to a murder.
01:04:16 Mine.
01:04:27 (TV playing)
01:04:47 (TV playing)
01:05:05 You scared me.
01:05:07 What is it?
01:05:09 Nothing.
01:05:10 I thought maybe you went to the party.
01:05:12 After today?
01:05:13 Forget it, I'm pooped.
01:05:15 I'll take Sherry for breakfast this week.
01:05:18 For her birthday.
01:05:20 Oh, dinner, well, maybe we'll get takeout, huh?
01:05:22 Maybe Thai?
01:05:24 Delivery?
01:05:25 Yeah, I'll have it delivered.
01:05:26 I'm not going anywhere.
01:05:28 Okay, that's a good idea, Mom.
01:05:30 You look tired.
01:05:31 You rest, okay?
01:05:33 Okay.
01:05:41 (TV playing)
01:05:54 Hello?
01:05:55 Hi, Mrs. Thomas?
01:05:58 Yeah, hi, this is Wendy.
01:06:00 Wendy?
01:06:01 Wendy Schuman, you know, Malcolm's friend?
01:06:04 You were here for dinner last week, weren't you?
01:06:07 We had lamb.
01:06:08 Yeah, right, right.
01:06:10 Malcolm's on his way out to see you, isn't he?
01:06:13 Has he arrived yet?
01:06:15 No, no, he's not here yet.
01:06:18 No, I'm expecting him later.
01:06:20 Yeah.
01:06:22 Listen, the reason I'm calling is, I just want to know,
01:06:25 do you happen to know Malcolm's friend, Brian?
01:06:27 Brian?
01:06:29 No, I don't think I ever recall a Brian having dinner here.
01:06:33 No, he lives out here in L.A., in Bel Air.
01:06:35 I was wondering if maybe you knew his number.
01:06:38 Why don't you try 411?
01:06:40 I don't know his last name.
01:06:49 Yeah, well, see, I was thinking, you know,
01:06:51 since Malcolm's coming out to L.A. and everything,
01:06:54 that maybe I could get together some of his friends he knew from school
01:06:57 and maybe we could have a little welcome to L.A. party for him.
01:07:00 Oh, yes, I'm sure he'd adore that.
01:07:04 I know how he likes parties.
01:07:07 Look, I'm sorry, dear, I really can't help you,
01:07:10 but I just don't recall a Brian.
01:07:12 No, no, no, that's okay.
01:07:14 I think I have to go now.
01:07:16 Bye-bye, dear.
01:07:18 Yeah, okay.
01:07:19 Bye.
01:07:22 Bye.
01:07:25 Fuck.
01:07:29 What's going on?
01:07:30 Something really awful.
01:07:32 Come on.
01:07:35 You don't understand.
01:07:36 I'm talking about grand theft auto here.
01:07:39 Huh?
01:07:40 All right, look, this friend of mine came from New York for a visit
01:07:44 and he stole the car.
01:07:47 Kind of my ex-boyfriend.
01:07:50 Your boyfriend?
01:07:51 Oh, yeah, it's a long, idiotic story,
01:07:53 but this is not just going to blow over.
01:07:56 Oh, God.
01:07:57 Do you know where he went?
01:07:58 Yeah, to the palace of some queen named Brian in Bel-Air.
01:08:05 Can't you call his parents?
01:08:07 I tried.
01:08:08 Believe me, they don't know anything about Brian.
01:08:15 Look, if you know it's in Bel-Air, the cops are going to track it down.
01:08:19 I can't believe he did this to me.
01:08:26 I'm sorry I had to make this occasion.
01:08:28 It's not your fault.
01:08:30 It is.
01:08:31 He was my friend, and of course it has to be Marty's car.
01:08:36 I just want to disappear and die.
01:08:39 Hey, here it is.
01:08:58 That's me, that's me!
01:08:59 Me, too!
01:09:00 I helped her get the wrap in the pool, and then she fell in.
01:09:03 I jumped in, and then I put my arm around her neck,
01:09:07 and then I carried her to shore.
01:09:09 Great.
01:09:10 You carried her to shore?
01:09:11 Yeah.
01:09:12 Excuse me, are you with the family?
01:09:13 What?
01:09:15 You are with the family?
01:09:17 And were you here when she drowned?
01:09:21 Yeah, hot, safe, I think.
01:09:24 We have two little stars right here at the table.
01:09:26 Yeah, and one of them nearly had to drown to get there.
01:09:29 Why do you always have to be so negative?
01:09:31 Tracy, eat your macaron.
01:09:33 I don't want to.
01:09:34 It's good, it tastes like candy.
01:09:36 I don't want candy for dinner.
01:09:38 Where's Wendy?
01:09:40 Probably in her room, sleeping or crying.
01:09:43 I'm going to go tell her we're eating.
01:09:47 Why do I have to?
01:09:52 Yo, bitch!
01:10:02 She's not there, Mom.
01:10:03 Maybe she went out.
01:10:04 Well, she better not take in the car.
01:10:06 She's not insured.
01:10:07 I thought you said you were going to take care of that for the summer.
01:10:10 Not in my car.
01:10:11 She can drive yours when she gets out of the shop.
01:10:13 This calls for a celebration.
01:10:15 For the hero.
01:10:17 Hooray, yeah!
01:10:18 And the heary.
01:10:19 Right.
01:10:22 Don't we got a danish or something for a candle?
01:10:25 My sister's cake.
01:10:26 There you go.
01:10:27 We might as well use it.
01:10:33 Sometimes I envy Estelle.
01:10:36 Having something to belong to.
01:10:39 Something to believe in.
01:10:42 [singing]
01:11:08 Blow 'em out!
01:11:14 Less than a few hours ago, I still thought someday I'd have a little flat with Malcolm.
01:11:20 Maybe a family.
01:11:24 Fantasies.
01:11:26 How much they fulfill.
01:11:28 The true sense of the word, they fill you up.
01:11:33 You've been away a while?
01:11:35 You think your family has the potential to be the Brady Bunch,
01:11:38 and it's just your bad attitude that's causing the rupture.
01:11:43 But then you get home, and you realize that it's much more than that.
01:11:49 That you never felt connected in the first place.
01:11:53 If you ever did,
01:11:57 it was a long time ago.
01:12:10 Why do we need to connect?
01:12:14 The highest good we can strive for is to live with happiness and contentment.
01:12:21 Webster's Dictionary defines contentment as the ability to be happy with what one has or is,
01:12:31 not desiring something more or different to be satisfied.
01:12:36 The Bible tells us to bless those who persecute you.
01:12:44 You needed anything, Pop?
01:12:46 It's drafty in here.
01:12:49 I'll get you some extra blankets, huh?
01:12:55 Why can't we just get by alone?
01:12:59 In our own little bubbles?
01:13:02 [music]
01:13:31 Connections.
01:13:34 They seem so fleeting.
01:13:41 They come and go, but we want to hold on to them.
01:13:50 [music]
01:14:04 [phone rings]
01:14:07 Marty, slow down!
01:14:10 [phone rings]
01:14:21 Life obviously involves a lot more alone time than it does together time.
01:14:39 Even though together is what we seem to strive for.
01:14:52 [music]
01:14:58 [speaking Spanish]
01:15:01 [music]
01:15:05 [speaking Spanish]
01:15:09 [music]
01:15:22 I thought I heard something.
01:15:25 You scared me.
01:15:26 You scared the shit out of me. What are you doing?
01:15:29 I'm hiding. Don't tell.
01:15:33 Why?
01:15:38 Malcolm stole the car.
01:15:41 No way.
01:15:44 Are we going to bust him?
01:15:47 I'm going to be back in New York.
01:15:52 I'm leaving Mom a full electronic explanation.
01:15:58 Do you ever see Dad in New York?
01:16:01 Sometimes. On holidays.
01:16:05 He sent me to stuff walrus last Christmas.
01:16:08 Remember how he used to love walruses?
01:16:11 When I was six.
01:16:14 Yeah, well, I guess that's where he kind of left off.
01:16:20 You're so lucky. I mean, you can just go.
01:16:23 I'm still in prison.
01:16:25 You'll be out soon.
01:16:28 When I get older, I'm going to be a singer in a really cool band.
01:16:35 I'm going to blow everyone away. You watch.
01:16:38 I'm going to go on tour all around the world.
01:16:43 And my picture's going to be plastered everywhere.
01:16:48 And when they want to see me, they're going to have to pay. Big time.
01:16:58 Good night.
01:17:04 I love you.
01:17:08 I love you too, sis.

01:17:52 You can just drop me off at SFO. I'll wait for the next flight.
01:17:56 You sure you don't want to come across the bay?
01:17:59 You can crash at my place for a while.
01:18:04 No. I've got to get back to New York, you know? Recruit for the summer.
01:18:14 I can get my old job back at school.
01:18:19 Oh, I need the drive, though, you know? Clear my head.
01:18:24 Clear out.
01:18:28 Mike, do you ever wonder what your kids will be like?
01:18:34 I wonder if they'll have buck teeth like me.
01:18:38 Damn, if they'll have buck teeth.
01:18:42 No. I mean, are they going to hate us as much as we hate our parents?
01:18:49 We have the same screwed up relationships.
01:18:54 No. They say you end up just like your folks.
01:19:17 Sorry. Bong water.
01:19:25 Mike, pull over. I think I need the air.
01:19:54 [music]
01:20:12 What's wrong?
01:20:22 I just got to know things will be different.
01:20:28 There's got to be a chance things will change.
01:20:33 I mean, things will be different for us.
01:20:39 They will be when we have our own families, right?
01:20:49 Come on.
01:20:54 You can sleep in the car. I'll wake you when we get there.
01:21:02 That was my last summer home.
01:21:06 For a long time, anyway.
01:21:08 I thought I'd walk away with all the answers, but I only ended up with more questions.
01:21:16 Never did finish my book.
01:21:19 Maybe it'll take a lifetime to get it right.
01:21:22 Because the more I wonder, the more I write.
