Thank you.

I love you.

Time for dinner.

Would you like an appetizer?

Okay,

Jack, you can go on home now.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Nina, will you hold your fork properly,
please?

Yes, Mother.

Thomas, must you eat so fast?

Sorry, Mother.

He did it fast because he has a date.

Ow! Oh, and with whom?

I bet I know.

Let's see. It's either the Dumont girl
or Cheryl Nelson of the New York

I know.

I want Thomas to answer me. Thomas, put
your knife and fork down this instant,

please.

With Lisa Chinaski.

Say that again?

Lisa Chinaski. She's my best friend at
school. She puts out... Emily,

honey, don't yell at her. All the kids
talk that way nowadays.

Not at my table they don't, especially
when they're talking about common gutter

trash like the Chinaskis.

I can't help it if they're poor.

Well, let them be poor. I just don't
want to hear about it.

And I don't want them chasing after my
only son. You know that she's only after

your money. Have you slept with her yet?
I have had enough of this sex talk at

this table. You are forbidden to go out
with this Lisa Chenafi girl, and you

will just have to cancel your so -called
date.

But, Mother... I have spoken.

But she's already on her way over here.
Her brother's dropping her off. Too bad.

But, Mom, Lisa's my friend, too. If Tom
can't see her, I still want to.

Nina. Honey, I don't really see the harm
of Nina Caesar.

This Chinathe girl is a very bad
influence, Harding. Well, Mom, can I?

I wonder who that is.

We say excuse me around here before we
leave the table.

Yes, mother. We know, mother.

Come on, Lisa. I'll show you my new word
processor.

But Tom and I, I thought we were... We
were... What's the big

idea? I don't want to look at your
goddamn word processor. I want to go out

your brother.

Okay, Lisa. Okay. It's not that.

This is something you don't understand.

Oh, darling.

Just there. Why don't you have a nice
game of trivia with your dad and I? Come

on.

my family what are they all retards or
something no it's just that my mother

this whole image in her mind of who i
mean of whom we should go out with it's

all bullshit but she's the one who makes
the rules she's not like a real bitch

to me so you're saying i can't go out
with your brother well not exactly well

that sucks and there's no sense of me
hanging around here so what do you have

mind okay you have to follow my
instructions exactly

Okay. Okay. First, you leave, like, in
about ten minutes, okay?

You come back at 11 .30 after my parents
are asleep, and I'll show you a way to

get into my bedroom window.

And what happens if I get caught?

I'll just tell my mother you decided to
sleep over with me.

And you won't tell?

It'll be our secret.

Remember, quiet. If I tap on the door,
hide in the closet.

All right, all right.

Shh.

What are you doing in here?

Did Nina tell you?

No.

What happened?

I don't believe it.

Are you sure Nina didn't tell you?

No.

stuff.

If you keep doing that, I'm going to cut
in your mouth.

Good night, darling.

Thanks, but me getting laid around here
is like crossing the Berlin Wall.

Sure.

Do you do a lot of scrying?

From time to time.

With who?

I mean, with whom?

What about my brother?

Was he good in bed?

Well, what about you?

Yeah, Tom was good.

Do you do it with anybody?

Well, I've had a lot of guys fill me up.

I've next a lot, but I've never gone all
the way.

You? You're still a virgin?

Oh, not a pair.

I've been having sex since I was 12
years old.

Sex in your head?

Kids, you don't know what you've been
missing.

Do you know how to make yourself come?

What?

Do you have orgasms?

Well, yeah, I guess so.

You guess so?

You just made it with my brother and you
don't even know if he had an orgasm?

Well, it felt good. Jesus Christ, Lisa.

How about your brother?

Cle, is he still a virgin?

Are you kidding? He's the biggest thug
in town.

Could you set us up?

I mean, I'd like to show him a few
things.

You're a virgin.

So, let's start with the basics.

Basics?

Basically, it's okay.

If you can't come by yourself, you're
never going to come when you get fucked.

Right?

So, we're going to have to teach you how
to orgasm.

All right.

Okay.

So first, just follow my instructions,
okay?

Sit up.

Okay, you start with the clitoris.

The what?

It's not a Greek island.

It's a little thing between your pussy
lips. Like, it's like a dick, only tiny.

Can you feel it now?

That's it?

Yeah, play yourself. I'm not a lesbo. My
God.

Okay. Now rub it gently with your middle
and index fingers.

Okay? Mm -hmm. So how does it feel?

That's it. It feels good.

That's how it's supposed to feel.

Okay, now do it a little faster.

Now at the same time, with your other
hand, rub your pussy until it gets real

hot.

Like that?

Like that.

Now how does it feel?

It feels, like, tingly, like I have to
pee.

That's how it's supposed to feel.

It's getting hot.

See, this is where a woman is most
sensitive. If you're going to come,

probably start here.

Is it like this is my brother?

No, it's different with your brother.

It feels different when there's a dick
inside.

Like there's more.

What's different?

It just feels different. It feels like
you're complete or something.

And you want more.

Come on. I wish I could feel that.

I think it's happening. Now you're
getting the hang of it.

Don't sit down. Go faster.

Feel the click.

How tender and red.

It's sticking out.

Stop. Keep moving. Faster. Faster.

That's it.

That's it.

It's a shame your brother couldn't come.

Oh, Lisa Chinaski seems like a perfectly
nice girl to me.

She is.

You're doing a good job there.

I like to help out when I can.

Looking good.

Party! Real good.

Keep up the good work, honey.

I didn't steal it. I got the second
hand.

What do you mean, third hand?

I think she tells me, uh, you know, I
can give it to you.

I thought...

I've been your type

of boy.

Hungry, desperate.

Still, you're new.

I'll pick you up tonight at 8.

Let's be

home by then.

Where are you going?

Out. With who? Who is that?

Flick Chinowski.

Flick Chinowski. Nina.

Nina.

Honey. He's growing up, Emily.

Growing up.

Emily, she's a kid for Christ's sake. I
want you to relax.

Not only is she seeing this Chansky,
Schmansky boy. Chansky, they've been

working for us for 15 years.

Okay, the Chansky boy.

Wait.

What? I have to be home by 10.

We got a whole half hour. She stays up
to the last possible minute if she comes

home by 10. Emily, she's 18 years old.
Give her some freedom. Here's what we'll

do. Do you know what's in my bedroom
window?

Yeah? Parting.

Just how much are you going to let this
girl get away with?

Harney, it's 9 .58. That girl is using
us for every last minute we'll allow

You're late, you know.

I know. I'm sorry, Mother.

Nina, come here.

Give your daddy a good night kiss.

Must you drool over your daughter like
some kind of satyr?

Good night.

Good night, Nina.

Why must you fawn so over that girl?

Good night.

You all right, dear?

There's some Valium on the dresser if
you need them.

about your parents.

Don't worry, Annie. What they don't know
won't hurt them.

On your feet, Cleve.

Get undressed.

Your sister tells me you need a few
lessons in the art of love.

You like that, don't you?

Now play with me.

How does it feel?

Keep moving.

Oh, my God.

Ah.

oh god oh god yes oh

Hi, Mrs. Sutherland.

Hi, Lisa. I'd like to see your dad,
please.

Yes, ma 'am. Want to come inside?

No, thanks. I'll wait out here.

Daddy! Yeah?

Mrs. Sutherland's here to see you.

Well, ask her to come in.

She won't come in.

Hello, Mrs. Sutherland.

Would you like a drink?

Don't Mrs. Sutherland me.

How dare you? I know what you're up to.

You do? What? Listen, don't forget,
you're only the handyman and I can fire

anytime I want to.

What are you talking about?

Listen, anything between you and me is
our business.

But I will not have you infiltrating my
family.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Why did you send your daughter over to
corrupt my son?

And why did you send your son over to
corrupt my daughter? Don't you know that

she has no morals? She fell right into
his arms and right into your trap.

You know, Emily, you are crazy.

Jack, I don't think so.

I think I see life pretty clearly.

And I can tell when a family like yours
is doing a little social climbing.

Look, look, this isn't true.

I hope not. But if I see your son,
Hanging around at my house.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to let you
go.

Are we still on for tomorrow?

Yes.

Termites. Tom, I'm sure that you'll meet
some very nice girls at Brown.

At least there you'll be in a civilized
environment. I'm just so excited you'll

be attending Brown this fall.

Really, Mother, it's nothing.

What courses are you planning to take, I
mean, in addition to the business and

finance in preparation for your MBA?

Well, actually, I was going to take
English and physical science, maybe

drama. What about the business
prerequisite?

Well, I was kind of thinking of majoring
in creative writing. Well, we'll talk

about that.

And how was your day, dear?

Oh, the usual.

It's too bad that our daughter couldn't
be here to join us for dinner this

evening. She once was a very good girl.

Harding, what do you think of a daughter
that's so hard and does the kind of

things that Nina did?

I think.

It's a blatant clap in the face to the
entire family.

Now, if it had been some nice young man,
perhaps to whom she had been engaged...

You know, Harding, you were the only man
in my life.

I know.

I've never even conceived of such
behavior in my teenage years.

Those were so much more simpler times
when things were more settled and one

could make sense out of life and romance
was within a hand's grasp.

Yes, Harding, we were so happy then.

Ginger, next course, please.

Ginger!

My mother and my father, they have no
idea what they're doing.

All they do is watch television.

That's all they do. They watch Dallas,
Dynasty, Benson, The Jeffersons, Falcon

Crest. Can you believe it? Mm -hmm.

So, on television, they show these
families, but it's all pretending. It's

real. Do you know what I mean?

Yes.

So that's what my parents want from me.
They want me to just pretend. To them,

there is no real Nina.

It's just like I'm a puppet on a string.

Not me.

I'm real.

I'm not pretending.

Listen, Lisa, remember in art class last
semester where they showed the art

slides of Venus de Milo?

That was classical art of nude women,
right?

Okay, so on television they show all
these families and nobody's naked.

Nothing's real.

All they do is talk about who's sleeping
with who. They can't really show

anything.

It's all fake.

What do you mean?

It's television, Lisa.

It's not real.

I'm not going to live my life
pretending.

When I'm through, my family is going to
know there is a real Nina.

I mean, look at me.

I'm beautiful. My body is a piece of
living art. I am Venus Milo.

And no one is going to cover me up.

Get everything I want when I want it.

What do you mean?

You'll see.

And when I'm through, I'll leave.

Emily!

Emily, where are you?

Emily!

Emily, where are you?

Over here.

Emily, I want you to cut the shit.

Now, you watch how you talk to me, Jack.
You're still a hired hand around here.

Look, listen, rich bitch. I don't have
to take any shit from you.

And I don't want you coming over to my
home anymore.

You call that a home?

Yes. Yes, I do.

You know what you did? What you did, it
wasn't right.

And why not?

Because of us.

You and me.

Now, my daughter knows.

And it's not. It's not the kind of thing
my daughter should know.

You told her?

I didn't have to. She's not stupid. She
may be poor, but she's not stupid.

She thinks I came over to talk about
your children, which is what I came over

for. She knows.

She can't know.

She knows.

My basement?

It's my mother and my father.

They do it every week.

I overheard them yesterday.

So good.

So good.

So good.

You rich bitch.

Yes.

Yes.

Daddy, daddy, it's me, Nini. You have to
come home right away. It's horrible.

Nini, are you all right?

I'm fine, Nisa.

You can go on home now.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

I'll see you at school tomorrow.

Lena, what's the matter?

What's the matter?

It's horrible. It's in the basement.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

You sure?

Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah.

You will be going off to college very
soon.

And, Nina, you'll be staying home with
me.

There will be no divorce.

Our family has been fractured,

but it hasn't been destroyed.

This will remain a matter of complete
secrecy.

Do you understand, Tom?

Yes.

Nina?

Excuse me.

I don't care what

people say Our love can't be denied I
don't care what people say Won't run

away and hide Time and time I ask

myself Why can't I stay away

I know we can't go on living our lives
this way.

People talk, they think, they understand
just how we feel.

What we have is special.

The love we've got is real.

We've got each other, our love is like a
song.

We've got each other, our love is
growing strong.

Just like a rainbow, these colors are so
bright.

Baby, can't you see you are my love, you
are my light.

All of it's brighter than the sun, your
kiss is magic. You're the one who makes

me feel the way I do.

Bye.

Bye. Bye.

Bye.

Sure, love is crazy. No reason and no
rhyme.

I'll hold you tight next to me and feel
your heart beat race.

And then I'll kiss the teardrops that
are falling from your praise.

We've got each other.

Can't you see you?

Night, Daddy.

We found out that by lying down and
relaxing the body...

We can relax the mind. That way we can
zero in on our patients and see what's

disturbing them.

I'm not disturbed.

What? I'm not disturbed.

Oh, I know that.

Why don't you lie down?

Good.

Okay. Why don't we start at the
beginning? Tell me what the trouble is.

the problem?

It's my husband.

My husband is seeing another woman.

Sometime the husband will go to a friend
to seek companionship.

Do you know the woman?

Not a friend exactly.

Do you have an acquaintance?

Much more than a queen.

Are you

fond of her?

I would have liked to have been fond of
her, but there was never any love

between us.

God knows I wanted her to love me.

Why are you telling me these things,
Mrs. Sutherland?

It's my fault.

They caught me with the caretaker, and
they're punishing me.

It's my fault.

I never meant to hurt anyone.

I was afraid to ask Harding to do the
things that Jack would do to me.

Harding would have thought I was some
kind of whore or something.

Do you think you're a whore, Mrs.
Evelyn?

Yes.

No.

I don't know.

I didn't want my daughter to have those
feelings, these desires.

I controlled her. I disciplined her so
she would not become... become...

Become what, Mrs. Sutherland?

Like me.

She thinks I'm a hypocrite now.

I cannot control her.

Oh, Sutherland.

Who is this woman your husband is
seeing?

Nina hates me now, and she hates her
father. He doesn't know it. She hates

She controls him now.

She makes him do things, and it's...

It's my fault. I never meant to hurt my
family.

Mrs. Sutherland, who is this woman your
husband is seeing?

I can't control her anymore.

She uses Harding.

Poor Harding.

I fear for our family.

Nina has changed into something unusual.

Perverse.

She will destroy us. I know she will.

Do you mean violence, Mrs. Sutherland?

No.

Control. There is something terrible and
unleashed about her.

Something out of control in her that
will be forever, forever.

Mrs. Sutherland, who is the woman your
husband is seeing?

Mrs. Sutherland.

I can't help you until you tell me. This
is... Who is this woman? Tell me.

Who?

Who's the woman?

Who is this woman?

I can't. I can't.

Who is this woman?

Who is

the woman?

one in your life. But your wife tells me
that you and your daughter are having

sexual relations.

Oh, yes.

Fuck me, Daddy.

Come, Daddy. Come.

Now.

You're settling your daughter.

It's not right what she's doing.

There ain't words invented for what I
think of you.

Keep stroking, Mr. Chinaski.

I want you to come right here and I'll
follow my hand.

He lost his job. He got fired.

Where's the flowers?

Did you close the door?

Sure. I'll give you a switch of the
flowers.

You like to see your sister checking me
out, don't you?

I fucked my brother. Lick my mother.

Fuck your sister.

Nina, that's perverse.

I fucked him.

She's working at night in a massage
parlor, turning tricks and taking drugs.

Just relax, Danny. She knows how to take
care of you.

Make him come, Lisa.

Daddy,

is your conscience bothering you?

Or is it just me?

Who's the slut sleeping with now?

I know it's perverse.

It's the most perverse thing anybody's
ever done.

Say, Nina, what's with you?

You're crazy, Nina.

You missed your appointment today.

I want you to take another pill.

They keep us stoned. They keep her from
getting hot pants for the hired help.

You help her. You fucked her.

Damn you.
