[ Music, Ocean Waves and Singing ]

>> What are these surfers doing?

than shit.

Boy, I tell you, California sure is a strange place.

Nobody ever tells you nothing.

They just look at you like you're all spaced out,

and talk about everything except what you want to know.

Say, can you all tell me how far to Malibu?

>> Malibu?

Far out. Want to buy some cillisidement ,

a dollar a head?

>> I'd like to except all my money's right here.

Cilisidement; goddamn, I don't want any of that shit.

I hear you never know what's in it.

And with poison and stuff, it's supposed

to make you trip better but it don't.

It just messes you all up.

Yeah, look at that fucker.

Well, I wished I could have come out here

in California in my chopper.

I'd show that son of a bitch something then.

Except I didn't have no talent for it, goddamn!

I had -- my old man told me I couldn't come out here.

state, unless I have the talent for it.

I had me a bunch of money saved up from working at Used Tool.

And then I saw this old Mercedes just sitting

on a lot, all beat up and shit.

I fixed up the engine and traded my pickup

and a few hundred bucks and split.

And I tell you, boy, it's fine so far.

[ Bubbling Sound and Phone Dialing ]

>> Yes, Jackson .

Yes, well, I assure you that I would be amenable to anything

that you feel will distract her from her neurotic needs and,

well, assume some responsibility for herself.

Well, the treatments seemed to be doing her so much good

at first, but they are frightfully expensive.

Jeffrey, will you do something about this leaky fountain?

Yes, Dr. Brown, yes.

Well, I will see to it that she never misses a session again,

but, you know, my work is very demanding.

It takes most of my attention and all of my time, and I...

>> I found this -- this girl here was hitchhiking

and Ipicked her up.

So I seen on these tags here

that this is where she belongs at.

Ah, trick-or-treat.

>> What was that, Jeffrey?

>> Ma'am?

>> My God.

Jeffrey! Get her down to the pool immediately.

>> Jeffrey, I'm sorry.

>> Oh, my ass.

>> Ow! Ow!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

>> You make me miserable, girl.

>> I'll never do it again, I promise.

I Don't know what I'm...

>> Sit down, young man.

Dr. Brown, company has come in.

May I call you back?

[Sound of phone being hung up] What's your name?

>> What?

>> Where do you come from?

>> Huston.

>> Texas.

>> Yes, ma'am.

>> What do you do?

>> You mean right now?

>> Any time.

>> Well, I just sort of drive around looking at things.

>> Well, it was very nice of you to bring my daughter home.

Oh, well, what kind of things do you look at?

>> Strange stuff.

>> Well, what do you plan to do when you get

through looking at strange stuff?

I mean, what do you want to do when you grow up?

I mean, what would you rather do more than anything in the world?

>> Build me a flying saucer.

>> How would you go about doing that?

>> Well, I'd go around to the men that knew how to build them

and what kind of materials to use

and the engines they ought to have.

>> Well, do flying saucers have engines?

Well, I suppose they'd have to have something to make them fly.

Well, how would you like to teach my daughter how

to build a flying saucer?

>> Well, I don't know.

>> I'll have Jeffrey take you and introduce you

to her properly, and you could tell her you're going

to teach her how to build a flying saucer.

>> Well, are you all fixing to be here for a while?

I mean, you know, because I wanted to talk to you some more.

>> I haven't got time to build a flying saucer.

I've got to go to work.

>> What did you say your name was?

>> Butch.

>> How did you meet the princess, sir?

>> Well, I was, you know, just coming from Huston and I went

down there to look at the ocean, you know, and everything.

I ain't never seen it before.

And, boy, it was pretty, too.

And I was thinking, "Goddamn,

I'd sure like to have me a chick.

And it was, you know, hevens,

all of a sudden I seen this chick just hitchhiking

on the side of the highway.

>> She had her little .

>> Yeah, how did you know?

>> Oh, she's kind of proud of them.

>> Is she your chick?

>> In the immortal words of Brigam Young,

the two worst things you can do is invade another person's

privacy and kick the lady out of your bed.

>> I need chicks.

>> No, thanks.

>> Goddamn, look at that!

>> Oh, never mind about that.

You turn around out back and I'll go fix us up some grub.

>> So, who's them pictures of you got there?

>> I'm preparing a portfolio of friends and acquaintances I knew

in New York during my modelling career.

New York, girl of the year, millionairess, socialite,

bullshit, Andy Wolhaus , superstar.

All this really had a bad effect on me.

It seems -- it's strange,

wherever I've been I've been quite notorious

and quite innocently so, but I've never been anywhere

where I haven't been known.

I remember many times in New York I'd be

out all day frolicking around the lower east side,

and then I'd come back and I was very heavy on my makeup then.

I would spend about an hour and a half clowning --

couldn't stop weeping, and they called my mother in California

and said that I was dead.

They thought I was dead.

Within the next 10 minutes, I started to breathe.

Anyways...

>> Goddamn.

It sounds llike you really got your tit caught

in the wringer, huh?

Maybe that's how come they stick out like that.

>> I finally had with cities.

All my clothes, Blunt Ciago originals, Chanelles,

all my furs, all my jewels, the money for drugs.

>> Maybe if I stick around, I can get me a little poon.

Boy, too bad my buddy Hank ain't here.

He used to go with a rich chick.

I guess all that bread makes them act real weird.

>> Jeffrey, did I ask you to make my lunch?

>> Look at that.

She doesn't even do jack shit.

That guy Jeff that works here, he's kind of strange, too.

He seems like a real nice guy, all right, but --

what the hell's she doing now?

I cannot understand.

It just don't make sense.

Here's this chick and she's fine; I mean,

she ain't ugly or nothing.

And I'm a guy and I like chicks.

I know she does her dancing and her carrying on,

but it just ain't turn me on no how.

Maybe it's on account of she's older.

My dad always went after older women.

They're supposed to be the finest.

Maybe she's doing something

that older woman's does that's supposed to make you excited

or something that I don't know about like

"Love Potion Number Nine".

Woo, woo. She probably must do that for everybody

that comes around here.

You know, she's doing it for herself.

Oh, she'd be running naked through the woods,

so I guess that she must be doing it for me.

I feel kind of sorry for her in a way,

but I don't exactly know why.

>> Blimpy had a cough like this when he hanged himself

in my room when I was 12.

>> Who's Blimpy?

>> He was my brother.

I loved him and I wanted him.

>> Just don't give it another thought, young fellow.

>> Well, I bet one thing she never had

when she was a kid was a good assful.

>> Boy, I tell you, sure glad that cracker's going

to take over this time.

Old Jeff's got to follow after ,

slobbering all up and down inside herself.

I didn't ask for this.

I want a job, man.

I can get a -- bummer.

Bummer. No time to go to the beach.

I'm sick of this shit, for sure.

I've got to get in the wind.

I feel sorry for the whole mess of them.

I'll feel a lot better when I'm gone.

had it rough.

I've got to settle out my affairs with the old bag.

That old broad jumping on my chest every day.

Crazy old fool, anyhow.

All she wants to know about is pies.

A bunch of shit.

>> Speak to him, Emy , you know?

>> Yeah, well, top of the morning to you, Mom.

>>

>> I was kind of hoping you'd have a minute

to talk before you start your busy day.

>> What, dear?

>> Look, you know I like your daughter a whole lot,

and you know I like taking care of her and stuff.

I mean, you know, I don't mind running around

and doing her things for her and stuff.

I mean, you know, she's a nice girl and I really like her.

And, you know, it's no big shit to me what happens to her.

>> Jeffrey.

>> I mean, you know, I really like to do those things.

I mean, she's a nice girl and .

Don't get me wrong; I like working here a lot.

And I do appreciate your giving me a place to crash

and everything, either.

I mean, Susan's been getting a lot better lately.

I really don't mind taking care of her.

She's starting to see to her own things.

>> You know, Jeffrey, it really is wonderful what Dr. Brown has

done to help Susan.

>> It's not a bad situation.

I'm helping.

>> But Scott never gave me a bum steer.

Gee, these things sure cover up a mother's sins.

>> Right.

>> Those barbarians in that New York hospital.

12 Tuinal a day plan.

You know, I should have reported them

to the Medical Association ages ago.

But Dr. Brown's treatment really makes sense.

>> All right.

>> Look at that.

She looks just like that chick in creepy comic books .

>> I'm going to get drunk.

>> What do you want to drink that shit for?

You want to drink something that'll do something for you.

You ought to drink you some Dr. Pepper here because ,

you know, can get you all energized and feeling real good.

Besides, why, it tastes fine!

Bullshit, she done that on purpose.

>> Ouch. Fuck.

>> [Speaking in foreign language]

>> Oh, God, another scar.

>> Here, stick your foot up here.

Goddamn. Hey, you better turn over.

I know, it's just like she's inside her own little biddy

world, all by herself.

>> Oh, I hate this stuff.

Hey, Butch, you want a drink?

>> Hell, at least she's having fun.

>> I wonder if lunch is ready.

Jeffrey.

Jeffrey, I want my lunch.

>> Never mind that.

You better run and see her.

This is going to get infected.

Have you got any band-aid for my darling down here?

>> Methengreen ?

>> Hell, no, naphthalate.

Anything that burns.

If it burns, then you know it's working.

>> Meth burns your brain's cells

out unless the injections are accompanied

by massive doses of vitamin B12.

>> Hey, you better let me take your pants off before you get

blood all over them.

There we go.

>> When I was a child, I was very hyper.

We lived on an enormous ranch.

I used to until dawn.

I remember Mommy used to give me Nevitol whenever I got

out of her schedule.

>> That ranch must have been finer than hell.

I used to live on a farm, you know,

and me and my cousin had us a horse and it was real pretty.

It was a golden, you know,

and it had a white tail and all that.

And we used to ride him everywhere.

The stupid ass man, he used to drive him across cattle guards

and all kinds of shit.

>> I got hooked on speed at the factory.

Ouch. And then I had my little interlude with heroin

for eight months to get off speed.

I hadn't given up Paul.

Did I mention Paul?

Paul. Paul.

Paul. [Background voices] Paul America.

He used to deal vast quantities of speed

out of the Hotel America.

I think drugs are like -- druggers and .

>> I think that strong drugs allow a person

to rebuild their lives or start a new life

by completely destroying the one they've been with.

>> Strange, zombi mood.

I don't know.

I hated him, but I had this strange fascination,

this kind of love and sexual addiction for him.

I'm not sure what attracted me to him, unless it was some kind

of aberration brought about by drugs,

which I was so heavily inundated by.

Speed is the ultimate all-time high.

That first rush; wow!

Just that burning, searing, soaring sense

of perfection like, oh God, a 24-hour climax

that can go on for days.

I'd like to go different...

>> Different city or to the country?

>> To the country, to an island, near the sea.

I mean, I could live there happily ever after.

There's no way to explain it unless you've been through it.

There's no way to tell anyone who hasn't tasted it.

I'd like to turn the whole world on just

for a moment, just for a moment.

I'm greedy.

I'd like to keep most of it for myself

and a few others, a few of my friends.

Keep that superlative high just on the cusp of each day

so that I radiate sunshine.

And I could just see him

like some strange vision.

He had such -- I don't know if it's because he took

so much acid, but he had this strange alienation

from the human race.

>> Sounds like a real winner.

>> Huh

Oh.

>> Ain't that the guy you're talking about?

>> Yeah, Paul.

I don't want anymore.

I've had hundreds of men in my life.

>> Chick, if you're all so hung up on that Paul fucker,

how come you ain't with him right now?

Maybe she is.

Hell, who knows?

Maybe he's out there

in the woods lurking and waiting for dark.

>> Where the fuck's my lighter?

I've got to find it.

My brother Wesley gave it to me.

He gave it to me just before he committed suicide.

It's funny; he was the only one

who had no sexual interest in me.

All my -- all my other brothers did, and the ranch hands,

the butler, the foreman, and Daddy.

He's been trying to fuck me ever since I was nine.

>> Where's your daddy at?

Didn't he own this place, too?

>> He's dead.

His insides rotted out from cancer.

He's so strange, crazy.

I remember he used to beat the shit out of me,

jump on top of me -- he'd be a little drunk --

jump on top of me, twist my arm, slap my face.

Once I remember he even put -- he punched me with his fists.

And the worst -- the worst time he beat me up so badly

that I couldn't stop crying for about eight days

and they kept ignoring me.

And finally they said to call a doctor, after eight days

of no sleep and crying.

And he came in with a big needle.

I said, "Oh, no!"

>> I'm sorry to hear about that.

Well, hey, Susan, do you want a coke?

>> Yeah.

>> Where did all the fiction and freaks come from?

>> From David.

That's him there.

He was a friend of mine, artist in New York.

Had them all blown up for me and gave them to me as a present

when I was still in the hospital.

>> Who's that man?

>> That one?

Oh, God, that's Sygot .

Why I ever got in bed with him I'll never know.

That's the worst .

>> .

Take another look at her.

There she is.

Freeze that .

>> Yes, sir, Mr. Merdecio .

>> You know, Tom, I'm real glad I bought up that night spot.

Nice place for people to get together.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Look , Tom.

Boost her up on your log pedestal.

Lock her up for around 45 to 110 single units.

Oh, no, that's it.

All saturated black.

Thanks, pal.

You know, Tom, it sure is one hell of a shame

to see the little gal just go downhill like this.

She's from such fine people.

That Mario is such a goddamn dummy.

He'll just clean the place out.

>> Yes, sir, Mr. Merdecio, I know.

>> I mean, well, what was I supposed to do?

I mean, I knew you'd be upset when I saw the three

of them leaving the on last night after my last set,

but I thought you'd want to see it first

on playback this morning.

I mean, I've only got 16 separate vidicon units covering

every corner of the discotheque,

and for only $3,700.00 more I can install a cell sync hookup

that'll let me drop and mix at the same time.

>> Yeah, well, well, Tom, that's all right.

I'm glad to see you tried to see your drumming.

Why don't you go down and warm the car up?

Bring it around front.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Bring it around front.

I'll meet you in a minute up front.

>> You mean down front.

>> Up front.

>> Up front, down front, what's the difference?

>> I don't feel very well.

Better call Dr. Roberts.

What a pretty ruffle shirt.

What's this plastic box?

Strange place to stash drugs.

I wonder what it's worth.

It's so beautiful out.

I wish I still had my car.

Maybe I could find someone to buy my old stash to pay

for Yolie's [assumed spelling] abortion.

Yolie, Yolie, wake up.

Shhh. We've got to go.

>> Listen, Wonder Woman, when do we eat?

I'm so hungry I can't remember the last time I ate.

>> All day yesterday.

We're still broke.

Oh, we can go to the park for breakfast.

Everybody works out there.

Did you get the stash?

It should be worth about 400.

>> Well, let's find some shmuck.

I ain't selling my roller skates to pay for this abortion.

>> Uh-oh, uh-oh.

>> Hey, Tom, don't you think it's

about time we gave our friend

over at the discotheque a little run for his money?

Yeah, I think we ought to give him a jingle.

Operator.

>> New York number operator.

>> This is V One.

>> Yes, sir.

>> Give me Trafalgar 72054.

>> One moment, V One, I'll connect you.

>> I don't understand you, Mario.

You mean anybody can just walk in off the street,

walk into your apartment, and clean the place out?

>> Mr. Merdecio!

>> Don't "Mr. Merdecio" me, young man.

Now listen, Mario, you better get on the ball.

The Lings got a hundred thousand dollars riding

on this deal, Mario.

>> Mr. Merdecio, a hundred thousand dollars,

I know, is a lot of money.

>> How about this?

Should be worth about 400?

>> Holy shit!

What's that, uranium?

>> Okay.

>> Okay?

>> Shhh.

>> That's a very serious drug.

Let's go hide it up at my mother's.

>> No, we have to go to Dr. Roberts first for a virus.

>> Fabulous.

Be shot to bed in cocaine any day!

>> Heparin sodium, 1,000 cc's in balance

to terodoxin .

>> Dr. Robert Tall, please.

>> What's in the shots, anyway?

>> Well, I'll tell you.

It's vitamin A, 4,000 units; vitamin B, 3,000 units.

>> Stay there and relax a while.

The doctor will take care of your friend.

>> Thanks a lot.

>> So sorry, Mrs. Miltown.

The doctor is unavailable.

They'll take care of Amora .

[ Recorded Voice Dictating, Man Shouting and Crying ]

>> I don't know, it's just -- I think it's my imagination

but every time I get a poke I get my energy back

and I feel much better.

I feel better if I take this off because I get so weak,

so wiped out .

>> Just like it's sort of strange, vicious cycle.

You feel better; you feel worse.

You come in and sit in the sun, and if I wish to stay,

and why you have to go back outside I'll never know.

>> The first 15 minutes takes a long time,

but the second 15 minutes takes forever.

>> Is he there?

>> Dr. Roberts cannot be disturbed.

He's in the injections room here at Three Nations waiting.

>> Anyone I know?

>> Who is this?

>> You know damn well who this is.

It's Charlotte.

I've got to speak to him right away.

>> The doctor cannot speak to you now.

Susan and Yolie just brought in a new patient.

>> Susan and Yolie?

I sent Susan and Yolie to Mario's Disco.

>> I'll have to put you on hold.

>> Why don't you come up to my office and get up on the table?

>> Okay, how did she have fun?

>> Make sure to pass.

>> Mr. Merdecio, those girls, they are friends of Charlotte.

She sent them to me.

I never saw them before right now.

>>You are the most self-indulgent goddamn fool I

think I've talked to in a long time.

>> [Recorded voice dictating] Dr. Roberts' office.

Mr. Rush, Dr. Roberts has asked you many times

to please go to your appointment.

>> Hello there, girls.

And how are we today?

Yolie, you all ready?

Okay, hop up.

Put all your weight

on this leg, would you please?

Ready?

>> Ow. My God.

>> All done.

>> Dr. Roberts' office.

No more vitamins today.

>> My God, this looks like a battlefield.

>> Don't' let it hurt.

>> No, no, just relax.

>> The digital analog computer enables us not only to record

for future playback while viewing live, but to also...

>> Well, that may be all very true,

but the important thing now is that we called Charlotte

and we find out now

that apparently the little gal just barged in on Charlotte,

all hopped up on narcotics.

She brought along this goon called Paul America,

who obviously has little Susan there under his influence.

Charlotte feels that this young man is an opportunist who seeks

to exploit the little gal and us

without any regard whatsoever for the consequences.

Apparently he thinks we were born yesterday.

>> Hello, Paul?

>> Hey, Wes.

>> Yeah, this is Wes.

How about some coke?

>> cocaine?

>>

>> No, man, not if you get yourself a backer,

and I've got us the perfect situation.

This guy's so fucking big he can't even see his toes.

He's a retired old tycoon.

He's bored himself into the board

of every pharmaceutical house in the world!

He does it all through international banks

and stock manipulations and shit.

It's incredible.

Nobody's seen him in years.

But me and Susan are this fantastic in to him.

>> Well, what do you think, Tom?

>> Well, Mr. Merdecio, I'm not paid

to think; I'm just paid to act.

>> Yes, I know, but you've been very much concerned,

but I think we've got everything under control.

>> Yes, sir, Mr. Merdecio.

>> Tell you what you do, Tom.

You drop me off at the house and pick me up around five.

>> I don't know what the hell she's bitching

about that old guy for.

I'll bet you with all that power he's got,

he could really do some fine stuff.

There's no telling.

He could probably even help me build my saucer.

Hell, I'll just walk right up to him and say, "Hi, fucker."

He's probably just lonely, that's all.

You was a model back in New York, huh?

Is that what you was doing there?

>> Yeah, I was a model, the model.

Life did on me as girl of the year.

That's it on the wall there.

And the other one's vote.

I ought to call Diana Freeland in New York.

I need some more reprints.

They're kind of disheveled.

Could you hand me the telephone, Butch?

It's under the magazines over there.

And some vodka, some vodka.

And my lip gloss.

Not the lipstick, lip gloss.

Would you please pour me a glass of vodka?

[Sound of dial tone and touch

>> Operator.

>> I'd like to place a personal call to Diana Freeland

in New York City at "Vogue Magazine".

>> Yes, Ma'am, do you have the number?

>> No, I don't have the number.

>> You can dial New York information direct,

212-555-1212.

>> Could you please place the call?

>> Who are you calling?

>> I'll try to get service for you.

>> The editor of "Vogue Magazine".

>> Susan, it's been years, well, at least months.

>> I'm very depressed.

>> Is it drugs or money?

>> And I'm really out of it.

>> Oh, oh.

>> I finally know true love.

>> Well, I hope he at least has a title.

>> These are pretty.

When did you get these?

>> No.

>> I've never had no hamsters before.

Always had reptiles like my iguana lizard

and my turtles and alligators.

>> It's taken me a long time to realize it,

but Paul's the only person I've ever truly loved.

>> Why not meet me at the UN?

We're doing a thread on and use

with this new French model.

Big sensation; biddy boobs.

She's only 12, can you believe it?

>> Susan, fabulous.

I look like a squashed potato bug.

>> Well, she's very .

She really is the rich girl.

>> I forgot.

I can't come.

Paul and his speed freak friends stole my pasport

and my leopard-skin coat while we were living at the Chelsea.

>> No, you don't need your pasport.

We're only shooting there.

>> Oh, great, I'll bring Paul.

>> Boy, this is fine.

Did you really used to look like this?

>> Excuse me, ma'am, I'm just the janitor.

In fact, "Vogue Magazine" is closed.

It's after 9:30 at night New York time.

>> I'm -- I was just speaking to my party before you

so rudely interrupted me, for God sakes.

>> You cannot speak to me in that tone of voice.

I am a high school graduate.

>> Oh, those operators are so damn stupid.

Oh, I got to get ready.

I have to be at an important fashion show

at the United Nations.

I wonder if Jeffrey's washed up my underwear.

Jeffrey. Jeffrey.

>> Poor chick, she's really wasted.

>> Butch, would you please have Jeffrey comb

up my now?

>> Here, she wants you to comb this out.

And what's all this shit about fashion show

and United Nations and...

>> I -- really you're backtalking an old ,

a big German specialist.

They call it PBD, permanent brain damage, and that chickies

that like to get high.

>> About three times a week I drive away

up in the San Bernardino hills to the old fucking doc's joint.

They've got her under some sort of special treatment.

It's supposed to be the last stop before the Botany Valley.

Anyway, whatever it is, she must get off on it all right

because when I brings it back she just lays here like a turd

for about eight hours.

As soon as she starts freaking again, the old bag ups and calls

in Dr. Brown for one of his house calls.

House call, my ass.

He just sits there tickling on her titties

for half an hour or so.

All this is supposed to make her forget her experiences

in New York City.

She keeps trying to live back in the time that was happiest

for her, which figures out to be the times she was highest.

>> Goddamn!

You know, I just seen her have an imaginary conversation

with some chick down there on the phone.

>> Imagine that you were real pissed to her.

Start combing.

>> I ain't never combed no hairpiece before.

>> Yeah, well, you'll be getting plenty of practice.

Now listen there, Butchy...

>> Hey, wait a minute.

>> ...the old bag's going to be looking for someone to fill...

>> Hey, hold on there.

>> ...a prime position here on the premises shortly,

and I just might be able to pull some strings for you.

>> Well, that sounds all right because I --

you know, I was looking for me a job anyway.

>> Yeah, well, this here ain't no job;

it's a golden opportunity.

First off, you get yourself a palatial residence all your own,

and all the pies you can eat.

They range from and blackberry to Texas pecan.

>> What's all that about?

>> Well, let's just say the ground you're treading upon once

belonged to an old geezer who sunk all his money

into oil off the Santa Barbara coast.

The old bag there is a grieving widow, and she's all holed

up in a house sort of out of guilt for all the seagulls

and granions that's killed in the oil slick.

She sold all the assets and went

into the pie business for herself.

>> Honest?

>> Yeah, she put all her bread in a pie franchise business

so she could reach young people,

all that's good and clean in the USA.

>> That's where the Texas pecan comes in, huh?

>> Yeah, and 49 other fruity varieties, one for each state.

She sort of sees herself as the all-American earth crust mamma.

>> Where are we going now?

>> We're just now getting to the juicy part.

>> Boy, Susan, you look finer than hell.

Here, I combed out your hairpiece here.

I hope I did okay.

>> When I was the girl of the year in New York,

I made a mascot of my face.

I really freaked out.

I'd do things like -- well, I sprayed my hair silver,

stripped it and streaked it so -- I'd use this --

this awful sticky silver spray.

It went all over.

I did that first in Andy Wolhaus' studio,

but it wasn't inspired from Andy's hair.

I just -- I really wanted blond hair,

and I couldn't get a blond spray so I used the silver.

But that went down in the papers as being --

making me a twin of Andy's, which was bullshit.

That whole scene was bullshit.

>> I'm damned, it sounds weird,

especially about that Andy Wolhaus dude.

I haven't heard about him.

>> I got my first introduction to heavy drugs at the factory.

>> Have the drugs in big jugs.

Okay now, Butchy boy, come on up here.

I got to have a talk with you, man to man like,

because the old bag wants me to run

down a medication trip with you.

Okay, this is for metabolism; ascorbic acid,

100 millis twice a day, 30 grams,

250 millis three times a day.

Now comes the heavy shit.

, twice a day;

100 milli philosine twice a day;

udukalot , Tylenol as needed.

And here's a tricky one; six to eight Nembutal,

and you got to get them down her ass before the clock strikes

for higher wages.

>> Jeffrey, would you please bring me my lunch right now?

>> Sure thing, Mr. Benny.

>> I tell you, there's one thing I can't stand

and that's a chick telling me what to do.

>> Jeffrey, after lunch can we go out to the movies?

>> Yeah, well, sugar, I'd really love to

but your mommy's been kind of tight with the petty cash

of late so I figured we'd just hang around here and look

at some slides and sort of introduce Butch here

to your career aspects.

>> I'm hot and sweaty and tired.

>> Okay now, Butch boy, just so you know

who you're dealing with, give me a minute to get set up here,

and you're going to some slides

to commemorate highlights of the silver '60's

when the princess here hit old gossom .

My goodness, how in Heaven did that get in there?

>> Oh, my God, that night.

The grand gala opening of Dr. Roberts' Spa.

It was sort of his big dream,

a preventative medicine health spa.

He practiced preventative medicine, vitamin shots

and lots of methedrine.

Wow, what a scene that place was,

and this night I was already so bummed

out I don't know how I got there.

I had this strange sensation that Merdecio was downstairs.

>> Meet you at the back.

I'm sure glad

to see you finally got your new spa.

>> I'm so glad you like it.

The doctor's so grateful that you made it all possible.

>> Karl, look at those people.

Aren't you glad your daughter's not here?

>> Yes, sir, Mr. Merdecio.

>> How was the disco?

How's everything?

Think we have one right here.

>> No, right here.

>> Very good.

That's for someone, but for you, anything for you.

Have a good day today?

It's a beautiful day.

I don't know how anyone can be unhappy on a day like this.

Give you your tie, we're going to put you

in the shower, and everything's going to be great.

>> Everybody's here, everybody.

The grand gala opening of Dr. Roberts' spa.

I've gotten this whole damn thing together.

They think they know how to get high.

You might, they might.

Dr. Roberts, I don't think he knows anything about anything.

Speed. [Flushing toilet] It's speed, man.

>> Well, if you look up what Dexedrine is,

you can call it amphetamine.

But Dexedrine is dextral amphetamine sulfite.

Bedoxin is methaphetamine hydrochloride.

Methedrine is methaphetamine hydrochloride,

but they're brand names.

And that's the help that I need,

not the Benner Clinic in Zurich,

not , not Sunshine Terrace, not hospitals

in Mexico, not Roosevelt, just my amphetamines.

And if I die at forty, I don't give a damn.

In about five minutes, I'm going to go up there and face

that madness group of a million people and I --

yes, and I'm going swimming, weight problem

or no weight problem, and I used to be very uptight

about wearing a bathing suit but fuck it.

Now I take it off and I show it all.

What difference does it make?

>> Now, that's the thing

that makes the world go round, you know?

It's the most important thing on earth, and the hardest thing

to accomplish, you know.

>> Listen.

>> I think we get distracted many times by falling too much

in love with ourselves and material things, owe know.

The most important part of love is the spiritual element,

the ability to be able to give to one another.

And then you got all the comforts of life then.

And it seems to me that once you accomplish the spiritual part...

>> I don't think you were right to give

to the people what the people are not supposed to have.

>> No, but it's not giving material things.

It's giving of one's self from in here.

Anybody can give a pair of cufflinks or,

you know, a beautiful garment.

But to give of one's self inside.

>> You're on video.

You know what, we just -- look at, we're on sound.

>> What kind of cufflinks?

You know, the last pair

of cufflinks I had I got in the pawnshop.

>> Oh, Karl, that's the answer to an old man's prayer.

That's just awful good.

>> I'm really glad you like it.

>> Very good.

>> I've got to be up to the goddamn pool.

If I don't do it in five seconds, I mean,

I am never going to get a swim.

>> And let me see, the right side or the left side.

Oh, well, you never did.

It doesn't matter if you go to the left

or the right, or go drop dead.

You see, I'm going

to just take two, three, heck, four.

Now my name is Bridgett Polk, P-o-l-k.

Okay, for four pokes, right?

And I'm a star.

Born star, born actress.

There's no time, there's no place.

Dr. Roberts, that didn't do anything to me.

Probably if he can take that whole bottle, I can do it.

You know what I'll do?

I'll leisurely go up, dive in the pool,

say hello to everybody, fix my hair, put my dress on because,

you know, I can be chic, too.

My life has been a double strand of pearls

around my neck, a noose.

>> Mr. Merdecio, you know, I catched the glass bird,

but later on she got away.

But don't you worry; I'm going to catch her.

>> I have to worry about these things.

That's why I'm Mr. Merdecio, and that's why you're Mario.

Now I'm going to tell you something, you know.

You're getting to be a boil in the ass of progress.

What's the big idea anyhow, Mario?

Don't you have any philosophy of life besides self-indulgence.

>> Mr. Merdecio, do you know what happened?

>> Yeah, I know what happened.

>> That stupid bastard.

We get...

>> We called Charlotte and we found out now

that you called Charlotte for two girls.

You're the most self-indulgent God damn fool I think I've

talked to in a long time.

What's going on, Mario?

What are we ever going to do with you?

Don't you think I'm responsible to other people, too?

You think the league --

you think the league just lets me run loose?

You better straighten yourself out

and start thinking the way we think.

>> Don't you worry, Mr. Merdecio,

I'm going to straighten everything out.

>> Yeah, I know you're going to straighten everything out.

You straightened it out in bed, that's what I think.

>> You go right now downstairs

and tell Mr. Merdecio it's not my fault.

>> Excuse me, Mr. Merdecio.

>> Ah, Titan [assumed spelling], Lorenzo.

>> Sorry about that little wasp getting away.

>> You don't have to apologize about the little wasp.

I heard all about it.

>> Mario told us to come over

and tell you it wasn't his fault.

>> well, probably it wasn't his fault,

but we seem to think it was his fault.

Isn't that little gal there a friend of Charlotte's?

Didn't Charlotte send those gals around to see Mario?

You fellows know Charlotte.

Don't you think you boys ought to go down there and kind

of find out what the facts of life are?

No rough stuff; no rough stuff.

>> Yes, sir, Mr. Merdecio.

>> Yes, mother.

>> Give you $10,000.00, you go and spend it

on a bunch of berries.

>> Good night, Mr. Merdecio.

>> Good night.

>> You can't get the pure crystal that looks like snow.

You can't take a sterling silver knife

and light a match underneath it

and get Rockefeller Center's ice skating rink on top of it.

You're through.

>> Where's Mother today?

Oh, she's dead.

Well she must be pretty .

She must be getting back to a girl again.

>> Always Womsey [assumed spelling] pornigraphic slides

and stuff.

I just know something fine is going to happen.

The only thing is I can't figure out who's hustling who.

>> Butch, do you love me?

>> Well, I guess.

>> Good night, Mrs. Calavash ,

wherever you are.

>> I want to tell you, lucky me that cracker showed up.

If I listen to one more of them lame stories

of hers, I just .

Now I'm going to help the old bag

with next month's .

>> I made a fantastic deal with ,

the side that you like so much.

Let me tell you something.

It's going to be the biggest thing

to hit Paris since the hamburgers.

>> That's wonderful.

I'm so pleased.

How much? Oh, Jeffrey, how is she and the young man?

>> Oh, yeah, she's fine.

Sit down here and join some of your Caribbean rum delights

and slides.

So I kind of figured I'd take the night off,

if you know what I mean.

Fay, how's the chances I could get a little advance

out of the petty cash on next month, without messing

up your books or anything?

>> All right, Jeffrey, I suppose so.

Oh, and Jeffrey, if that young man cares to spend the night,

we fixed up a nice place for him in the pool house.

Oh, and don't forget she has an appointment with Dr. Brown

at 8 o'clock in the morning.

Now don't forget.

>> Oh, come on, I ain't going to let you down.

>> And now, who is your beautiful daughter?

>> Save a of wine and the doc will come down here

and give you a free trip to Acapulco.

>> Butch, do you think I'm beautiful?

>> Yeah, I think you're pretty.

Your tits sure did get bigger since then.

>> Yeah, I eat better now and I do my exercises.

>> Now, chick, just be quiet for a little while.

Wow, this is going to be fine, I think.

I always wanted to have a situation just like this.

>> I was about 19 when I first had sex.

I've had so many affairs it's hard to say.

Well, I know they're...

>> Paul, Paul, Paul...

>> Well, this ain't worth the shit.

What with all them orgy pictures and stuff.

I figured this'd really be something.

But she just wants somebody to hold on to, that's all.

She sure as hell don't want me.

>> it's the one where, at least I thought,

they were here together, for eternity.

>> Then you must be very stoned.

>> Did I tell you, it's nice to be able to get out of the city?

>> What? I think you're from another planet.

>> That would be nice, too.

>> So you know about that stuff too, huh?

>> What?

>> The social people!

Your Paul knows about them too, huh?

>> sure.

Well we're stuck building my own flagship.

Not a real one, hell, I can't spare enough for that,

but just an Earth version.

Then I can go up there where the real one was, and I can fuck

around until they all see me so they know that I want

to help them do stuff for them.

Don't you think that's fine?

>> That's great.

I just forget that it's possible.

>> Sure it is.

Hey, what's going on down there?

>> Oh, here's to the young,

that's the revolution of the youth.

It's sort of like a mockery in the way really --

because they think everything is smiles and sweetness and flowers

and there is something bitter to taste.

And to pretend there isn't is foolish.

>> Yeah, but the Saucer People have seen

for a long time how things here

on Earth [background sounds] is getting stagnated.

And maybe they reckon that --

I've seen this stuff that was needed for a while

to kind of get things going.

>> I think something very weird's going on now,

'cause the power that is permitted

to youth is quite extraordinary.

And they are sort of run by that kind of power...

>> You mean like that old guy?

Now that there is real strange.

Because the first time that she was talking about him,

well I kind of figured he might have something to do with them

on account of the way he was watching you all and stuff.

Boy, he must be real smart.

I'd like to meet up with him sometime

and watch him run stuff up close.

>> Run?

>> You know, operate.

Mess around with people's heads.

>> What, do you think you know you've forgotten about?

Smile.

>> Mr. Bideckio [assumed spelling] I just got raped.

>> Well, that may be all there is to it.

But the important thing now is that we're

on our way to the convention.

And when we get there we must have the .

I want to feel there as one big happy family.

Whether you, whether it's Mario here, or whether it's Wesley.

Now look at Wesley!

Wesley pushes people.

He's off the streets, he's now with us.

And we've got a nice solid situation.

Oh, quit kissing that dog, Wes, you'll get worms!

>> Sit down there!

Goddamn.

>> If you want to romance anyone, go romance a gal!

>> Mr. Bideckio can I just go comb my hair?

>> Your hair is fine!

Leave it down!

Now what is the problem that you wanted to talk to me

about that Mario here is involved in?

>> Mr. Bideckio Hugh Cart is running

for mayor of the village.

>> No!

>> Mr. Bideckio here is something wrong.

>> We are not wrong!

>> You know very well I have much to do!

>> We are not wrong.

>> Those girls they have a friend that's Paul America.

>> Don't tell me about Paul America!

We've had all the Paul America we can take.

We've had problems before, we've solved them before.

There may have been dissension.

We've taken care of Paul America!

Now what we have to do is straighten out the problems

with Sharla .

Sharla has to take...

>> Uh oh

>> How do you know his boys didn't do it?

>> We know his boys didn't do it.

Sharla, we will get to the bottom of this.

We must have dissension in our ranks.

We're on our way to the convention,

everything must go smoothly.

We must be one big happy family.

>> Like a big show, right?

>> Look at that old son of a bitch.

>> That's very patriotic.

>> He don't really want to hurt nobody, he just wants to sort

of rattle their heads and have some fun.

>> Leave me alone!

>> Sharla!

>> what the hell,

they'd all just be wasting time socializing, partying and stuff.

Anyhow, at least he makes them get up off their asses.

>> How chic.

>> Sharla!

You know there was rape and so you might

as well relax and enjoy it.

>> Are those really their forces?

>> I guess.

>> Do they come from somewhere else?

>> In fact, the way I see it, the Saucer People don't come

down and infiltrate on Earth like they show on TV.

They just uses their mental energy,

influence certain people.

Like him. Then he uses his power to influence other people.

>> A lot of them are in a daze.

They really don't know where they are.

>> Probably it's better that way.

Hell, they'd all get uptight if they found

out who was controlling them.

>> Controlling them?

Nobody's really controlling them.

>> Well then, where's he taking them off to?

>> [Background music and sounds] an ideal.

Villa full of happy people.

That can really turn into a scary plot.

>> Oh, this here's that convention he's talking about.

Yeah, that's one of those people

that are designated for contact point.

>> Lass, Surio!

Would you look down there?

You've been looking for Susan for three days.

There she is right there.

She doesn't know where she's going.

You fellas didn't know where she's going.

They don't know where she's going.

She's going inside, and I'm going downstairs and I'm going

to talk to her right now.

Ciao boys.

Well, what do you have to say for yourself, young lady?

>> Well, it's nice to be in the country, but it reminds me of --

I don't really know what it reminds me of.

>> Well, I'm very glad to hear you say that.

[Background music and sounds] It's too bad,

the little gal isn't well fellas,

it's a sad and tragic matter.

We're going to be in touch

with our people downtown and see if we can...

>> See, that old guy wasn't pissed at you after all.

>> That's true.

>> He's one of them silent contacts

that I done read about that reach

for the Saucer People in secret.

They've got a whole sort of underground network of them.

>> We really should know more

with the underground, about the underworld.

>> All I know is they get called off at certain times

to these desolate landing areas,

on account of the Saucer People is worried

because we've been messing around with unknown quantities

of stuff, and might upset the balance of the universe.

They've been watching how in Heaven to Earth is greedy

in letting technology and stuff just ruin everything, but Hell,

they could stop the whole planet

from functioning if they wanted to.

That'd be easy for them.

But they'd rather give someone important like that old guy

and set him up as a Trojan horse inside the business world,

to try and get people pointed in the right direction.

>> Well, what is the direction?

>> we just want to let people live

with each other in harmony.

He's a pretty cool guy, all right?

Well, I hope he's still messing around in New York City

by the time I get there.

On account of I want to talk to him

about helping me build my saucer.

>> How in the worlds are the banks going to get their money?

We can't sink any deals on account of the fact that we have

to swing them to the banks.

It's the only way that we can operate and operate properly.

I don't know if you understand that or not.

You understand that, Wes?

You understand that, Mario?

The only way that we can

Look down there you guller, look down there.

They know where Paul is.

They must know where Paul is.

>> Where was he?

>> Huh

>> Paul! Didn't that old guy say where he was?

>> I never found out.

Maybe you're Paul.

>> Hell no, I'm Butch.

>> Yeah, you're butch all right.

>> You don't know anything about what you're doing!

>> Here's the , cut that shit out!

>> Get out of here!

>> I didn't do anything --

what's the matter with these damn things?

You're supposed to be at the doctor

but here you are throwing your...

.

>> Now tom, I'm going to tell you something.

Everything we seem to do now goes a little bit haywire.

>> Mm.

>> And you young people all seem to have the same ideas.

You want to be men on payday and men at night.

But god damnit, why don't you pay a little more attention

to the equipment around here.

>> I'm hip.

>> Incidentally, what about the equipment

down front there in Paul's cell?

What's happened to the equipment out there?

We aren't receiving .

We should know what's going on, we must know.

>> Mr. Bideckio, can I please have $2500 to go

over to Harvey's Electronics to pick up one

of those fiber optic high frequency camera transmitters?

>> That's all right.

We're not concerned with the technical aspects

of this matter.

Just go on out there and see if you can shed some light

on that Paul America character.

But do something about your appearance

so you don't scare the wits out of the folks out there!

.

>> I don't know what I was going to do with America, she's a mess

of problems, you know.

>> Mm-hmm.

>> This is a dope charge,

or a series of dope charges, he's held for.

They have him on three narcotics counts.

The celling count brings a 20 year minimum in this state.

And the prosecution's going to do a job on him.

>> Uh-huh, sure.

>> Maybe by some technicality I can spring him, as they say.

But then he'll go back to Manhattan.

It's not Dultiss' problem.

>> I'm hip.

>> It's himself.

What's best for him, I don't know.

As I said, he's a mess of problems.

Maybe you should see him.

Maybe you can figure him out.

Let's try that.

>> What do you want?

>> America.

>> He's in cell three.

okay, America, on your feet.

There's someone here to see you.

>> Hey. I know you.

You're the drummer at the Too Far Gone.

Hey guard!

Guard, guard!

Get off of me!

This guy's no priest!

Guard! He's the drummer at the Too Far Gone!

Hey guard!

God damnit get over here!

>> Poor boy, too far gone.

>> Too far gone?

>> You're right.

Too far gone.

>> now listen,

the slobs out there think they can keep you locked

up but they can't.

My soul is free.

They don't even know what a soul is.

What's your angle?

What are you doing in here?

You don't bring in a thing, nothing!

No cigarettes, nothing!

Not even a cigarette!

What good are you?

>> Guard, get him out of here!

>> What did you bring in?

>> Nothing!

>> You damn vampire you're just draining energy!

Guard! Open the door!

I've got a zombie in here!

Not doing anything except draining all my energy!

Guard! Get him out of here!

What are you doing!

Move! What's he doing in here anyway?

He's no prisoner!

Get him out of here!

>> Bad karma.

>> Bad karma?

Don't sling that bullshit at me.

I don't need it.

I know what Bardos and Cooters are,

the kind of thing Susan was into.

I don't need that kind of mind torture in here,

I got that in the nuthouse and they gave me a shock treatment

that wiped out my brain

so I couldn't even remember my name for two weeks!

I don't need that in here.

I don't need it in here.

You know what I need in here?

Help! You say you can help me?

Well then get me out of here!

>> I give you my cross.

Your key.

>> Nice. You!

That's why you're here.

This is your final possession.

The key is mind.

>> Why we're here?

>> So we can give away our final possession.

Look at your clothes.

>> Did you say it's mine?

>> Meaningless uniform.

Now we're free.

So use that key.

Open the door.

This time, leave it open.

>> Are you sure you ought

to be getting your daughter we like that?

I think she's really sick.

>> I looked at her in that car

and doors are told [background sounds] I have been hearing

imbiciles like year saying what is good for her and what is bad

for her for 27 years of her life.

Now take a look!

And get her in that car!

>> Yes man, anything you say!

>> Just what kind of a numbskull are you, anyway?

I think your daughter is really sick!

You're like every other goddamn that I ever knew.

You've got Brillo pads between your ears!

Now get her in that car!

She's got a doctor's appointment that she can't miss!

Go on!

>> Hey, , come on, we've got to haul ass!

>> Yeah, I have a strange feeling Paul's going to be here.

>> Never mind that shit, we've got to get,

come on !

>> I piss on everything.

I should have ought to have stayed in California.

>> I get too low with no reason.

You say it's the moon or maybe the season.

But something's not the same, and I won't let my mind believe.

Baby, something's wrong, or the feelings gone,

I can't make it anymore.

I can't make it anymore.

>> Well that's a lot of soup cans you've got in there, huh?

>> I was going to sip the can when I saw you over there.

Shit, come here, heading right around .

Really pisses me off.

As soon as I get some together, I'm split.

>> Yeah, I know what you mean.

I sipped in some pretty wild cans, all right.

Except for my bike I didn't get to ride and sit in.

Hell, with how much it's breaking I had

to change it as often as my own.

>> If your bike never breaks down you're never going

to learn how to fix it when it does break.

>> Yeah, I know it.

That's how come I left it at home.

>> Well that's take it out of Texas.

>> Um, hey, I'll be right back, okay,

I'm going to go get me some iced tea over at the diner there.

I'll see you in a minute.

Goddamn.

I ain't even reached New York City and I done

and got my first contact already.

this here is pretty much a coincidence,

but did you ever -- do you all know this chick

that lives out in California?

And she lives in a swimming pool

with a great big old tent over it?

And her mother's real crazy.

Well, is you sure you ain't fucking me around?

Because I done seen pictures of you, and you still work

for that boss of yours?

That there big shot back in New York City?

>> Sorry man, you've got the wrong party.

>> I mean, you never used to drive this big old Mercedes?

>> Like I said, brother, you've got the wrong person.

I just drive a truck.

>> Susan! That's her name.

She used to be a big fashion, society model back in New York.

I think. You sure you didn't maybe, you know, used to see her

when she was messing around there?

Or maybe you know her boyfriend, Paul America?

Well I'll be a son of a bitch.

I guess all the stuff she told me was imaginary.

I wondered how come she acted like that.

Probably on account of that deal she was getting

at that there hospital.

Her old lady used to send her up to this real weird hospital.

I took her up there once.

It was way up in the mountains, real pretty-like.

she didn't mind going up there.

It wasn't like she was being forced to go or anything.

But she's real quiet.

Didn't say a word for the whole drive.

I couldn't shut her up before that.

We was late to her appointment on account

of my old Mercedes I had at the time finally went kaput.

Well, that place is real strange.

It wasn't exactly like a hospital.

I mean, everybody was wandering around and was dressed real fine

and was friendly to her and greeting her,

it was kind of like her club or something.

I mean, there wasn't no poor people and stuff.

I saw this big old guy coming down the corridor

who was dressed real casual, like, and was acting important.

And I figured he was the doctor.

They put me in this little bitty room where I was supposed

to sit, but hell, there wasn't nothing to read so I kind

of peeked through the door.

I reckoned when we came

in that they was going to give her shocks and talk

and acts like psychiatrists.

But then they started hooking her up to this machine,

so I figured they was going to do tests

like encephalographs or something.

Then they started wiring her in

and everybody started whispering.

It was just like when I saw Frankenstein's Bride

when they gave the chick electricity to keep her alive.

And when I drove her home she was moaning about you,

and that guy Paul she was always rapping about.

Of course, I didn't pay it no mind at the time,

but when I see me just pull into the diner I started thinking

about it, how she was telling me

that the reason Paul couldn't come get her was

on account of...

>> Hey, do you all have any ice tea?

Oh, you don't?

Well, how come that is?

Nobody ever has no iced tea.

That's something else that's strange too.

You know, that guy that was sitting right here?

You remember him.

He...

>> Excuse me Mr. Bideckio, but do you remember that Texan cat

that used to hang around the pool?

>> Right now we're not interested in that damn Texan,

our problem is America.

>> Well he's...

>> Come on, Tom, you know better than that!

Your hair's getting in the way.

Remember what Jack Kennedy said?

Long hair's great provided you've got something

to wear it on.

>> Well, I don't give a shit.

Do you want video and audio transmitted,

or do you just want video transmitted?

Either way it's going to take me a while you know,

I mean, I'm not an octopus.

>> Tom, I'm always thinking about Truman.

You know what he said?

Truman said, "If you can't stand the heat get the hell

out of the kitchen."

>> Mr. Bideckio, I'm not trying to aggravate you,

I'm just trying to set the transmitters.

>> I'm going to tell you what Hoover once said.

He said, "The reason that a lot of people are out of work is

because we have a lot of unemployment."

>> Please, just let me set the transmitters.

You know, I'm not CBS.

But...

>> I mean, you know, they figured out some

of it's imaginary, but she's the one that's imagining it.

There you know, everything she told me was imaginary, I guess.

You know, I figured it out.

>> Too far gone?

>> Yeah. Too far gone.

>> Ah, shit.

I know who that is.

>> you, go away, goddamnit!

>> Hey, I'm just fixing it.

>> Never mind there, Mario!

Come on over here, young fella!

Take a good look at her, she's a real beauty, ain't she!

You don't see this kind of workmanship every day.

Just like people today.

No one seems to give a damn quite what happens to themselves

or how they look or what they do.

Notice the detail and craftsmanship of the upholstery.

Don't be bashful now, young fella,

nowhere on Earth is there a prettier car than this.

Such workmanship is a lost art.

Damn shame, isn't it.

A car like this is something to work for.

You can have one like this too,

if you want to work for it hard enough.

Just takes a little time and hard work.

Young people today expect to have everything handed

to them on a silver platter.

It's a damn shame.

They get it, they waste it.

Damn shame.

>> How about that.

>> So long, young fella.
