Original subtitles

Tripoli, don't get sand in Tad's eyes.

I won't. Not until the last moment. I'll bury his head.

Bury his head and I'll hang you up by the thumbs. Or at least your mother

Okay, I'll just cover his head with honey and let the sand crabs take care

him. Ann.

No! Sand crabs!

Bullshit!

You have severe language problems, Tad, which your grandpa wouldn't approve of.

He was a sailor.

I beg your pardon?

He was a sea captain, and he would have put you in irons for using bad language.

Now, Molly, when Grandpa went down at sea, was his ship carrying treasure?

Grandpa didn't go down at sea. Grandpa was lost at sea.

With treasure?

With a beautiful, beautiful crew who loved and adored him. And were afraid of

him, huh?

Certainly. He carried a pistol.

But he was very, very kind.

Now, put this leg further back.

And before I say go, make sure you're up on your toes and ready to sprint.

But with treasure?

Oil, stupid!

Don't call your brother stupid.

He's not.

Oil is treasure.

Grandpa's lost, but he still may return.

After 20 years, Aunt Molly, it's a long way from pole to pole, with many an

island and many a mermaid betwixt and between.

And it wasn't 20 years.

15!

Okay, the first one to touch the pier.

Get on your mark.

You don't want tattoos. They don't come off.

Yeah, but that's why they're really groovy. Please, Aunt Molly.

Mama would flip.

Your mother would shoot me.

Grandpa had tattoos, didn't he? No, he couldn't have.

He was a good man.

He loved everyone.

God meant men to be untouched, perfect.

God made all of us perfect. Truly, he did.

Why was Grandpa lost at sea?

I don't know.

Because he was perfect.

Too good to live on land.

Oh, my God.

Wow, Aunt Molly. Come on, quick, quick.

If only there was a way of making a fortune babysitting. You, Sister Molly,

could be a babysitting millionaire.

Don't tell me the kids don't like you better than they like me.

Their own hard -working mother.

Don't say that or I'd say seaweed if you said that.

Here we go.

Back to pass.

Sam Walker. Is he the greatest football player who ever lived, Aunt Molly?

Sure. He's Sam the Electric Man.

Very beautiful.

He could be a great dancer, a great poet, a sailor, a captain, a king.

Are they the greatest men in the world, Aunt Molly?

They're like your grandpa, or Christopher Columbus, or Washington, or

Ripper. Grandpa was a drunken bum.

You ought to come back and sleep here tonight, Molly.

You should be working in a classier saloon.

You could be a top cocktail waitress.

Top. Maybe even a bunny, Molly, if you're concentrated.

Look, what kind of tips do you think those football guys leave? Not tips like

you get at a hippie joint.

Kathy, I like... Where do they stay?

You're heroes on television. Where do they go?

You know where they stay, Kathy.

Name me the joints.

Where do they stay? How do you know where they stay? I know.

Aunt Molly knows everything because she works at a center of information.

A bar.

Center of information.

Tripoli's right.

They love you, Molly.

You and welfare, that's all they got in this world.

They've got you.

Oh, I've got a pain.

Don't talk about that.

I've got a big pain where Papa kicked me.

Papa never kicked anyone.

Don't say that.

Papa never put a finger on you, and you know it.

He was an evil bastard.

And more than anyone, you know it.

You're so silly.

But you have a great imagination, Kathy.

You could write something like Little Women.

If only you could concentrate.

Papa was lost at sea.

Only his brains were lost at sea.

how close you want to shave.

Look, he looks like Papa.

Papa should have been so lucky.

Well, this is a close shave.

This is the closest.

Why do we have to go out at all?

How close do you want to be to the woman in your life?

Be smart.

Be closer.

Be the closest guy of all.

Hey, Molly.

You want to come sail around the world with me?

Just you and me in a big sail, Molly.

The high waves.

We're inside of the Ram's 33 -yard line.

Are you sick, Molly?

No.

Molly, you are. You're shaking.

Don't go to work. Phone in. Tell him you're sick.

I'm not sick. I'm not.

I just hate it when you say those things about Papa.

In front of Tad and Tripoli.

I just need a few shots of a small drink.

What did I say?

What did I say?

Don't drink, Molly.

Papa used to say it's good for what ails you. What ails you, Mommy?

Nothing ails me.

You want me to work as a bunny?

Don't you know what those girls are?

They're hookers. A girl in every port.

A hooker in every port.

I'm not showing my tits in the house for the sake of a tip.

Maybe they do a little dope.

At the boathouse. My bar.

But no one pinches your bottom. No, sir.

What's the greatest fucking football team?

Screw the Rams.

Screw Los Angeles.

Why do you live here, little angel?

Square knot.

Quarter knot.

Square knot of what?

dollars you can make only now.

A nod I can't undo.

Hey, you're great.

You were a cabin boy, right?

Seven years before the mast?

How's the car?

Jesus, get your motherfucking hand off by me.

I won't let you play any games with my sailor boy.

For the sailor boy, she's got awfully

sweet mouth.

Hey, you sure you're not cutting off my circulation?

If I lose that hand, I'm going to look awfully silly trying to catch a pass

a hook.

Here. This will blow your mind, babe.

Hey, hey.

What kind of ideas are you trying to put in my little girl's head?

Your little girl?

I'm her papa.

Let's make it better.

You hop over him, ankle to ankle.

He's not my type.

You are.

But you're both part of my crew, aren't you, mate?

What a lonely bitch.

I'm a lonely bitch.

A juice and hop.

Oh, easy on the knee, my little love, or I'll kill you.

I'll take good care of you, dear.

Oh, that's too low.

Now, just one more knot.

One more drag.

And then it's down to the feet and shoes.

More of that.

Yeah, more.

I think your friend is asleep.

I saw the motherfucker make it three times and he was asleep.

On the top or on the bottom?

Oh.

Pass it down to me, but, uh, wow!

You know, you're far abroad.

Is

this

always your scene?

My scene?

These knots, I think they're too tight.

Let's see what you can do with one free leg.

Huh?

I mean, you've both got one leg free, don't you?

What the hell do you mean?

Let's see what you can do with one free leg.

Oh. Okay.

How's that?

Hmm.

Oh, yeah.

That feel good, huh?

Hey.

Hey.

Hey, he's in the merchandise, huh? Hey, he's in the merchandise, silly cat.

That's my kid. He's telling you got to hold up.

God damn it.

Hey, you're hurting my leg.

Damn it.

Hey, let me go.

Do you shave with straight razors?

Or is this all going to be agonizing with love?

My papa shaved with straight razors.

Bet you've never been beaten with a razor strap, have you?

Before your time.

Not as young as you think.

Failing, failing over the bounding main.

Whenever a stormy wind should blow, will Jack

come home again?

Shit, so tight for him.

Don't drink anymore, Molly, or you won't be able to work.

Yes, I will.

Please,

Kathy, it's very important for little boys, for Tad and Trip Lee to have

I don't care what you think about Papa and what you think about football

players, anyone.

Don't go to work. You're drunk already.

Damn, you are not drunk.

I have to be to work at 7 o 'clock, which means I leave now.

Sunday night, they need me.

I promise.

Molly, it's 10 o 'clock.

If you weren't so fast, I'd kill you.

I wasn't really late.

Oh, three hours?

It wasn't three hours. It was, and Doris is a dodo, and Daphne has, I don't know

what, menopause.

Cramps. I don't know what. She dropped the tray of drinks.

Want me to quit?

At this particular moment, no. Then I'd really kill you.

And later, you can't quit.

Because you're in love with me.

No, I'm your prisoner.

Chico de Sartre, float him.

I'm not a dodo. I just don't sleep with you.

I didn't ask you. You goose me hard.

I didn't goose you hard.

Well, not hard, but often, Long John.

Often.

When was the last time, Doris?

The night I told you I had crabs.

Not cramps, Long John.

Crabs.

Which, needless to say, I don't have.

You really should be a little bit more human with Daphne.

This is the fifth year of her menopause. I'm holding up damn motherfucking well.

Motherfucker.

Long John, twice this.

You got it, Billy.

You know any virgins, Long John?

A virgin's a little girl, about five years old. Very ugly.

They can run faster than her brother.

Did you ever know any virgins?

Well, I thought they kept them for movie stars like you, Billy Bat.

I think I'm going to give a big party for virgins.

It'll be a very small party. Better have a rock band and someone who reads

horoscopes.

Is she a household fixture?

No, Molly's a captain of her own ship.

Too vodka Gibson's long, John.

And virginity, Mr. Billy Bat, always goes to the lost and found department.

If you've lost it, drink up and you'll find it again.

Good day. This is Channel 11 with the Midday

News. I'm Sam Chooley.

Police are baffled by the mysterious slayings and are working around the

looking for clues.

as to when the men were killed they estimate the time as being between 9 and

30 last night few details of the murders have been revealed the shock waves that

have traveled across the nation leave no doubt that two great american heroes

have departed and the most shocking and brutal crime ever recorded in the world

of sports

What is he talking about?

Sam Walter, Austin Slade.

They're great.

What the hell is his problem?

Someone killed them last night.

You're crazy.

Nope.

Ted.

Who killed them? Why?

They don't know, baby.

Sounds like some weird sex scene, but they're not saying.

It wasn't.

It wasn't what?

Oh, they're not dead.

Yeah, they are.

I don't believe you.

Oh, shit, baby, I didn't do it.

I have to call.

Who?

Dad, Tripoli.

Kathy, my sister's gonna really screw their heads around.

What day is it? Monday.

What time? is it? Twelve o 'clock news, baby. Oh, Jesus. They're here at school.

Oh.

Kathy.

Kathy. Oh, Molly, darling. I worried about you.

Kathy, please.

The most awful thing has happened.

Dad, Tripoli, please let me pick them up at school today.

Last night, those beautiful men,

they're dead.

If Grandpa did build a ship, where would he take us, Aunt Molly?

Grandpa did build ships, little ships. So beautiful, they could stop your

Grandpa built ships.

that could take you to places where mermaids would sing, sea dragons laugh,

where the waves would be gold and silver.

Like now?

Yes, like now.

Why did she say she went to his funeral?

She told you she could show you his grave?

No, no.

Grandpa would never be buried in the earth, never.

But your mother would like that to be true.

So we have to let her believe it.

It frightens her to think he's lost at sea.

for the night, honey.

That depends on how close you want to shave.

Well, you know, this is a close shave.

It's the closest.

Why do we have to go out at all?

Do you think he even knows that girl?

I mean, even her name?

Yeah, I think so. How close do you want to be to the woman? What difference does

it make?

Be smart.

Well, it's... It's like they're going to bed with each other. We don't even know

each other.

How long did we know each other?

That's different.

Why? Well, they're famous.

They're on television.

Everybody's watching them.

A famous movie star wants to go to bed with you tonight.

Why are we going to his party?

Hmm?

Hmm.

Long John.

Darth Daphne can't run a bar.

I don't want to go to parties in Malibu.

Billy Batson.

Dumb drunk.

I think we should... The electric man.

Tarzan.

You're dead.

What lies that bastard had?

Who is she?

She's a witch come out of the sea.

She's not a witch.

She's beautiful.

Venus.

Why did she come out of the sea?

Venus was born in the sea.

Why?

Her father was a god.

They cut off his balls.

The sperm dropped into the ocean.

The sea was knocked up. Venus was the kid.

The chauffeur I had in the movie told me that.

Who? Your pilot?

My chauffeur.

Why did Venus...

Who did that to her father?

I think you're lying to me.

I need something stronger.

There's another bar inside.

And there are lots of things. Lots stronger.

It's not true you want to go to bed with me, is it?

Bed, floor, closet, bathtub.

I think you're too gentle for me.

It's like four different stores.

That's how you found me, isn't it?

Jesus, I don't know who I made these for.

I could have patched them for anyone.

I got customers from Long Beach to Trankets and a whole bunch in the Malibu

colony. See, it's the poor, very expensive look they like.

They pay for it.

They don't pay me as much as you think.

They like to look like rich, rich bums.

You're on welfare.

They don't pay me so much that I can't be.

We don't care about that.

Mrs. Strickland, do you buy the jeans and the blouses and the shirts?

No, I patch them. They come from... They're the worn -out clothes of...

Of your customers.

Yes.

They bring them to me.

I don't know where.

Where they got them.

Yes. I mean, no.

I don't know.

Why?

Why do you want to know?

These, obviously, are a woman's clothes.

Yes.

Do you know anything about football, Mrs. Strickland?

No.

No.

No.

No.

You are a bit shy, aren't you?

No.

You said you had something stronger than liquor.

You're spaced out already.

Oh, no, I'm not, Mr. Goody -Two -Shoes. I'm not spaced out on anything.

What do you think you can do now?

You think you're on television?

You think you can cut for a commercial?

Billy Bat.

How to Take a Lady by Billy Bat.

Movie star.

I don't go to the movies.

I do watch the goddamned four in the morning late show.

Cocksucker. Why don't you act like a man and go hide in the closet, cowboy?

Naked. In the back of the closet behind your clothes.

Could you die for love?

Well, my father did.

Get your ass out of here.

I'm going to break the bones.

They suck.

What the fuck's going on, man?

Stupid son of a bitch!

You okay?

I mean it. Are you all right?

Nothing's broken.

Can you get up?

I think so.

Who are you?

She's dizzy.

I think maybe she's broken something.

Can you walk?

Aren't you a commercial?

Wow.

You are all right.

I did not. Yes, you did. You just sing.

Billy Blatt is a sadistic son of a bitch.

It's true. Pete did a western with him last year.

No, I don't know.

Maybe it was my fault.

Listen, sweetheart, even the horses wanted him dead. Not because he couldn't

ride. He can.

I thought you were crazy when you went in there with him, Molly.

I don't know why I went.

Maybe I hit him.

Well, why the hell not?

I'd have kicked him in the crotch.

Hard.

I have a terrible headache.

Oh, well, drink up. I've got something strong.

Daphne has these pills.

She gets cramps.

And they're two colors I've never seen in pills before.

Shocking pink and electric blue, and they're a knockout.

She gave me half of them for emergencies.

What emergencies?

Pain. Pain in the ass, in the throat, nerves.

Just pain, doll.

Take two.

Will they make me sleep?

You'll float like a water lily, Daphne says, down a Chinese lagoon.

McPig is going to take me to China on his residuals. The Great Wall of... Are

you a commercial person, too?

Well, last year I did a bath oil, but mostly I'm too sexy.

I mean, fours, soups, cereals, scouring pads.

My agent says that I'm not liberated and no one would believe I was married.

Hmm.

I bet you'd make a fortune.

Well, what I mean is that you look liberated.

Don't you think?

Molly is a saint.

A goddamn American saint.

Do you love him?

McPeak?

Gee, why?

Because I do.

I want him.

But I came with friends, didn't I?

No, lady.

McPeak.

A beautiful man named McPeak.

Dark, dark.

From the sea.

He shaves.

Sure, lady.

He took me home with him.

You're a beautiful lady.

Any guy would.

A mermaid's tail won't go down too far, will it?

Just right.

Just perfect.

Just rising from the curly black sea.

Well, that's right, isn't it?

I mean, you're an artist, aren't you?

An artist.

And I don't believe in anything dirty or obscene. I don't either.

But I... I have dreams sometimes.

Everybody's got dreams.

Can't tell them.

No.

Why do they call you Jack Dracula?

That's my name.

I made up a name for myself when I was a little girl.

Oh, Molly Contiki.

Polynesia Easter.

I swore it was my real name.

Easter Island.

The Contiki.

Do you remember the Contiki? The raft?

And Polynesia was the name of the parrot in Dr.

Doolittle.

Yeah, but Cat Dracula is my real name.

My puppy used to say, come with me and we'll get lost at sea, Molly

Mollat.

He said that.

He used to say that.

We got lost at sea so many, many times.

Look, I told you... Molly.

Hey, Molly.

Hey, I thought you were... I thought you were here.

Hey, I thought it was that bitch again.

Your girlfriend?

No, I got rid of her.

Last time she called, I answered. I didn't want her waking you up anymore.

What did you tell her? I didn't think anyone could shut that one up.

Oh, I don't know. I said the usual things. I said...

And that if she wanted to go to China, I knew lots of seamen who could take her

on a freighter.

And that I'd kill her.

And other things like that. She won't again.

I don't think I said anything really mean.

Can I come back?

I mean, just for this morning? I won't bother you much.

I promise.

Wow, those pills.

Come back.

Sure, come back. Bother me.

I'm ready for it again.

Thank you.

Television makes people so much kinder, doesn't it?

I don't want to press any charges.

I just want her locked up.

You don't have any choice, Mr. McPeak.

Assault with intent of murder.

You know, you're really lucky.

You could be a corpse, even with her aim.

You give her enough time and chances.

Well, she was out of her skull.

I was a bastard, I guess. I kicked her out last night because I wanted to...

What?

Well, I wanted to lay another girl.

I just didn't let her down easy. I was drunk. She was drunk.

Well, she can get pretty wild.

When what?

If she cut a guy's balls off. If she thought that... Would she?

Would she what?

Cut a guy's balls off?

I don't know what you're talking about.

It's pretty specific, isn't it?

You know, there are women who do that.

Who have done that.

Oh, shit.

Well, that was just an expression.

Now, Clarissa's not insane.

Well, I mean, she is, but... What you... Hey, you guys aren't talking about

what happened this morning.

You guys are talking about something else.

What are you talking about?

Long John, I am telling you, relax and listen.

She tried to kill him.

I didn't even see anything happen.

I am going to come to the bar.

I've just got to wait for Nick Peek.

Long John, I love you.

And Nick Peek loves you too.

Don't worry.

Bye.

Well, that's all we found in the house that could possibly belong to a woman.

She said all the clothes. There wasn't anything else unless she wears his

clothes.

What do we do with him?

You mean McGee?

It took more than one to overpower two football players, didn't it?

Christ only knows. Oh, the girl he had last night left him a note.

Sweet.

I left it up there. She said she'd call him tonight. Said how sorry she was.

And she signed it. Molly the Little Mermaid.

How do we hold it? Well, I left a note up there for him. I copied it.

Jesus loved her. Hey.

SW.

Sam Walter.

You just saw them?

Yeah. Sam the Electric Man.

What do we do with him?

With them...

I don't believe it.

Molly the Little Mermaid.

You are very suspicious, Kathy.

You are very strange.

You're like a stray cat.

You know as much about football as I do.

Why aren't you home with Cat and Tripoli?

You're so worried about a homicidal maniac. Why don't you go home and take

of your children?

I'm not saying you... Then don't say anything!

I'm not saying anything against Molly.

It's not as if I thought... I don't think she knows what you think.

Well, she'd be upset, too, if she was questioned by the police.

I don't think she would.

You think she's practically perfect.

You do, don't you?

Yeah, why not?

In the Los Angeles area today, police are questioning two people in the Sam

Walter Austin slave murder case.

One arrest has been made, but authorities aren't willing to release

this time.

It is known, however, that the arrested party is a woman.

Sure, it's a woman.

That's what they call equal rights.

When they let a woman play on the National Football League, then I'll

it's a woman.

Hi, this is Alexander McPhee.

Who did do it?

Faggot.

I've got details because I've got friends that nobody else has got.

Bloody Mary and a gin and tonic.

I'm out right now, but if you leave your name and telephone number after the

beep, I'll call you as soon as I return.

I love you on television.

I love to watch you shave.

But they were football players.

All football players are faggots.

Was it Queens?

I heard details.

I won't annoy you.

I'll always admire you, if only from afar.

Someday I'd love to shave you.

Really, I would.

Goodbye.

I need a very tall vodka.

For you?

For me.

Don't give it to her.

Kathy, how come you lost Jack Strickland?

Who's Jack Strickland?

Her husband.

Father to my nephews, who, despite everything, are normal.

What do you mean, normal?

I mean, I love Tad and Tripoli.

Uh, where is, uh, what's his name, their father?

He's departed.

Not from this earth, but from you, Kathy.

He was no good. Here's to you. He drank.

Well, he didn't drink enough.

He was sober enough to know.

To know what? To know when to go.

Go home, Kathy.

Go home.

They know who killed those football players. It's said so on television.

But they were your clothes no matter what you say.

I'm sorry, Long John.

I love Kathy, and she knows it.

But sometimes she's... I don't know.

I'd just like to punch her in the teeth.

I... I hope Doric had a pill for me.

Daphne has diarrhea.

It's her doctor.

He only has diarrhea as a prescription pad.

Jesus, how that man runs to pills.

I think he shits pills and pisses Madison.

I've got something for you.

I've got some soda and two Michelob.

What's on for the night, honey?

Look. My God, it's him.

That depends on how close you want to shave.

Did you ball him?

Yeah.

But he's not home tonight.

That's why I could kill him.

Do it with a razor.

It'll jack up there.

How close do you want to be to the woman in your life?

Be smart.

Be closer.

Be the closest guy of all.

Don't bruise the lady.

Good guys don't.

Roll cally.

Zigzag molly.

Back and forth.

Molly, until you get...

You don't care if your sweetheart's heart is broken.

Now, Doris, I'm too old.

Then why don't you have more sympathy for Daphne?

There's a male menopause, you know.

You're ready for it.

I can't undress with the lights on long, John.

Why, Molly?

Because you went to bed with that television hero?

Which television hero?

The guy who shaves.

No, not because of him.

I did something to myself.

You did?

Or he did?

No, I did.

I'm tattooed.

Screwed, glued, and tattooed.

No, tattooed. What does that mean, Molly?

Papa used to read The Little Mermaid.

Do you know The Little Mermaid?

Lots of them.

No.

She had a tail instead of legs.

And she couldn't fuck.

Well, it didn't say that exactly.

But they cut her tail up the middle so she had legs.

Kind of led a lot.

Then she could walk.

It was very painful.

She was in love.

When did you first do it, Molly?

What?

Get screwed?

I don't know. I was always...

Doris' pills aren't working at all.

Not yet.

How could you not know, Molly?

I don't remember.

Lots of things.

For instance?

Well, when anything started.

When what started, Molly?

about last night.

Silly. You know I'm silly.

He was on television.

You know how I love television.

That's all.

Why did they hold you?

Are they still holding your girlfriend?

Mm -hmm.

Why?

I don't know.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Did you shave?

Did you shave?

Did you shave this morning?

in black and white.

Molly! I know. I fell asleep with the television set on.

Molly, Jesus. Molly.

Molly.

Your hands.

Oh, hell.

I'm sorry, Long John. I just...

Well, it's my own goddamn blood.

If you want, I'll jump out of bed and run down to the laundromat with your

sheets and pillowcases.

Your own blood?

Yeah. I was drunk. And the pills caught, thank God.

Molly, Molly, raped by pills.

What's your excuse?

Molly.

I wanted to take Tad and Tripoli to the beach today.

I wanted to swim with them. I don't even own a one -piece bathing suit.

I didn't want them to see.

What?

The tattoo, the mermaid.

All right. I'm a goof. I'm a drunk.

I'm a junkie.

I tried to take it off with your razor.

The mermaid.

Well, what difference does it make to you?

Maybe I worked with somebody named Clarissa Jenks. I don't know. I don't

remember. I don't know anybody named Molly.

I don't know.

Who is the little mermaid?

My boys are... We're sorry, Mrs. Strickland. We understand your position.

going to pay to take them to the movies now? You question all my customers.

Who's ever going to want me to work for them? I can't just leave the boys

outside playing in the streets while I talk to you.

Mrs. Strickland, I'll be glad to give you a couple of bucks to take your kids

the movies.

A couple of bucks?

Where have you been for the past ten years?

How much do you think it costs to go to the movies?

If your Clarissa Jenks doesn't know the name of the bar she was in, how the hell

am I supposed to know, right?

Your Clarissa Jenks drinks too much, right?

She's not here.

I don't know whether she will come back.

I don't know if I want her to.

I think your whole family is... I'm sorry.

I love your sister.

It's just that I don't know what she's about.

I know what she's about.

She's killed someone.

She just killed someone else. I don't know what she's done. If she comes here,

I'll... I don't want her near me. Just tell her to run.

Run. If you see her, tell her to run.

Aunt Molly never killed anyone.

And Grandpa's not buried in the ground.

What in God's name are you talking about?

Grandpa would never be buried in the earth.

We think you're a liar, Mommy.

Tripoli.

Tripoli, sorry.

Don't worry about Daphne's doctor.

He'll give you something.

You may not understand, but he'll give you something.

Some doctors, they don't understand. They don't give you one.

Oh, what the hell?

You had a tattoo.

You didn't like it, so you zapped yourself.

Does it hurt?

I have a headache.

He'll give you something.

Look how happy Daphne is with the pills he gives her.

If she just pulls them together, she could go back to work.

Boy, was she spaced out. I took her in to lie down.

To get laid, you mean.

I thought she was sick.

She was sick, but not that way.

She started to bite and hit and scratch me like a lunatic.

Broke two bones in my hand. You know what I could sue her for?

No, what?

All you did, very gently, was bounce her off the floor a few times.

Do you know what bar she worked in?

No. Boathouse, Santa Monica.

And she left here with Alexander McPete.

She sure did.

Off the floor, into his lap, and out the door. To never, never land.

Hey, whatever happened to McPete?

Turn on your television set.

Find out what's happening in the real world.

Thanks.

Not till the sun goes down.

It has for McPeak.

Hello, John. You are a bum.

Throwing a girl out because she had an accident.

I didn't throw her out and it wasn't an accident.

Well, accidentally. She cut too deeply.

And she's a mess.

Believe me, Molly is a mess.

when I was asleep.

Did you go out?

Now, you've got to tell me if you went out last night.

I was out of it, that's for sure.

Molly, someone killed McPeak last night.

Is it on television?

What the hell difference does that make?

Well, you don't know if it's true or not unless it's on television.

Molly, did you kill him last night?

Why would I?

He's a star.

He's... He's dead, Molly.

And right now, the cops think you did kill him.

They just don't know where you are.

Your sister's covered up for you.

But they'll find you.

Let's get out of here.

Let's go to Daphne's.

Or to Bakersfield.

Bakersfield?

You know what that doctor told me? He told me the reason I had headaches is

because I couldn't see right.

I'm not wearing any goddamned glasses.

Well, what does he think I'm...

Every time you turn around, you see him.

I guess I did kill him.

Why did I do that?

He was so beautiful.

I think... I don't know.

Did he love me?

He did.

A little bit.

Football players.

Why would I... Men I wanted on my crew.

How many others were on your crew?

Doesn't it matter that I didn't hate any of them?

Except that first little bastard.

His mother sang on television.

And then he sang with her.

And he thought that was hot shit.

He was pretty.

He said, I wasn't pretty.

He said, I wasn't really a girl.

He was rich.

But I had a telescope.

His eyes were yellow, though.

No. No.

Yellow.

I should take more pills, shouldn't I?

Yes.

Will you give them to me long, John?

Yes.

Here, baby.

Wait.

We can't.

We have to see Aunt Merlin.

And you can't stop us. No one can.

She's sick.

She's still our Aunt Molly.

Sure, but can't you go away and come back?

Four million.

Excedrin headache. Four million on the starboard side.

There was a whale under the raft long, John.

Molly, Tad and Tripoli are here. Oh,

my darling.

I wanted to take you to hiking today,

but your mother said it. I think Mommy's crazy, don't you, Molly?

Everybody's a little crazy sometimes, but your mother loves you.

She said you were sick.

Your Aunt Molly is... Long, John. These are my boys.

I just have to take a whole lot of pills today.

But tomorrow, everything will be all right.

Those pills?

Yes, yes. You could... Dad, why don't you get me something to drink?

Molly, Dad and Trip Lee can't stay here.

On television, on commercials, on one

channel.

A thousand pills are taken every day.

Isn't that true, Tad, Tripoli?

I'm sorry I broke your television set, Long John.

Dad.

Tripoli.

Doris.

Aunt Molly has to go to sleep now.

Sometimes it's just so nice sleeping on the floor.

Get that, Molly.

Kiss me.

Doris will take you home, won't you, Doris?

Yes.

If you don't make it by the time you're 18 in the good old USA, you just might

as well forget about it.

Unless you're lucky like me, then you can make it at any age.

Like Grandma Moses and me.

You know how I picked up two top television football players?

Then.

I may not be 18, but I can give you that old -time religion.

We can't. Oh, God, Long John, we can't.

Long John can.

He's a pirate.

He knows where the treasure is.
