BASED ON THE BOOK MR. and MRS. AMERICAN PIE
BY JULIET MCDANIEL
If I had told you, when I was just a little girl
that one day I could find here
not only among them but above them,
You would have said, "Lock up that woman. She's a raving madwoman."
But there's a fine line between being a furious madwoman and a dreamer.
But I have always believed that one can be anything
in this great country of ours.
Mrs. Douglas Dellacorte and Mrs. Evelyn Rollins,
in the company of Miss Norma Dellacorte, emeritus hostess...
Drum roll please...
welcome you to the gala for the 50th anniversary
conservation and maintenance of the phantasmagoric coast of Palm Beach.
Welcome to Dance on the Beach!
We are now two good friends that they welcome to the Ball together.
- Marisa. - You are welcome.
- It's nice to see you. - Darling, smile. Have fun dear.
When I got to Palm Beach, I was petrified of you.
But ultimately we have more in common than I thought.
I had to blackmail you for my role.
- Well, you see, we are similar. -Helen.
Henry, it's a pleasure.
It should have been my night.
But this is your night, Norma. Your name is on the invitations.
I'm actually in control on this matter
as much as I have control in my bank accounts.
We spend decades fighting for money and power and...
for our 20 lines on The Shiny Sheet.
And one day we get an embolism.
And we are completely forgotten.
It's terrible to grow old, be treated like defenseless children.
Oh, and the worst they are these strangers...
Greedy family members getting in the way and take control of your destiny.
Oh, lord, that would be infuriating
if it weren't so deeply humiliating.
Hello, Jean-Pierre.
Greetings.
Where's your astronaut?
I think he's putting on his suit.
- Frederick, hello. - Greetings.
She goes to retrieve it. Guests might get impatient.
Trots. I'll take care of it here.
- Marcy. - How nice to see you again.
- Marcy. - Mark. Divine.
Who are Maxine and Douglas, after all?
You are my family, Robert.
We had some great times, It is not true?
And we will experience many more.
Well.
Then it's decided.
Decided?
Yes, we are going to court tomorrow.
I have no expectations about rights married, but we'll have a lot of fun.
We will protect each other.
And when I die,
I will leave all this to my beloved husband.
Husband?
I've never been a fan of marriage, it is an ancient tradition.
But... now I know.
That's the only thing that can protect us both.
Marry me, Robert.
You look... different.
Less worried.
Don't try to flatter me Douglas. My stepdaughter told me about you.
You're a double agent.
I do not know what Penelope told you,
but I offered her a great opportunity investment and she took it.
An investment in what? The Assholes For Shares?
She's a comedian!
No, you're the one who always does it the wrong choice.
If I had done what Norma wanted and then you got married
like a good boy, you would have inherited all that money
and all of Skeet's money to boot. Yes, think how beautiful.
But you are very determined to be the author of your ruin.
The gentleman and the lady Pinky Kimberley Marco.
If you'll excuse me now, my business partners have arrived
- They? - Pinky, my friend.
Oh, hello. Allow me.
You look amazing tonight.
We are writing Palm Beach's next chapter.
Don't appear.
Grant? Astronaut Herkimer?
He left 20 minutes ago.
- What? - I'm leaving too.
No. No, Mitzi, because...
Who will bring out my stairway?
I've assigned a couple of showgirls.
They are true professionals.
I can't get off from my ball without Mitzi.
My taxi is waiting.
Send that taxi back. Your country needs you.
Where's Robert?
Hello, Norma. I'm taking Robert's place as his companion.
What?
Maxine needs help.
No.
- Just a moment. - No.
Yes. I'll be right back. Stay here.
Can I see your bag?
I have the right to my privacy.
It's a formality.
We don't want to watch to another drama in Dallas.
That was a city, this is a beach.
Enjoy the evening.
I intend to do it.
Mrs. Mary Meredith Davidsoul.
Mary! Thank goodness you've finally come to your senses
and you gave up to all those filthy hippies.
You know, "those hippies"...
they just got taken away by the FBI.
Did they arrest Linda too?
Linda went to hide in an ashram. For one year.
Without even stopping by to say hello?
It happened quickly.
So, Mary, is the house empty?
For all intents and purposes, that's right.
Good news!
Linda?
Help!
Linda?
Help!
Virginia, please let me out of here!
No! Don't let the door close.
It only closes from the outside.
- What happened? - Set me free.
But how did you end up here? Who did it?
- Mary. - Mary?
- You want to kill the President. - What?
Yes, she intends to shoot him.
You asked me many favors, but this one beats them all!
The President is coming here to see the astronaut.
Well, I'm not going to pretend to be someone
of the United States Space Program. It must be illegal!
Astronauts are not all the same with those hats?
It's not a hat.
The point is, no one would know.
And don't think what you're doing a favor to Nixon.
He thinks you're doing it for Norma.
In the city they cut her off.
And she doesn't show it, but I know it's hard for her.
Everyone wants to meet the astronaut and if he will be with her,
by her side throughout the evening, she will be in the spotlight again.
That's kind of you.
Please accept. For Norma.
No.
For you two.
Unfriendly!
Thank you. Thanks, Robert.
The other day...
when I was on the patio and...
you said you loved me while you were leaving...
Yes I remember.
Well, I just want to tell you that I love you too.
As I'm leaving.
Here is the most sparkling woman, here? And how can I be so lucky?
I'm the lucky one. Thanks, Eddie.
Filthy viper!
Miss Dinah Donahue and her boyfriend, Axel Rosenhips.
Dinah, I think you know well my companion. He works at the club.
Pleasure.
Attention, people! You having fun?
Oh good. Good! I'm happy.
I hope you like mince of meat and cottage cheese.
And the fruity wine.
There's a lot of that wine. A divine nectar!
Now, help me say welcome to the man of the moment,
Major Grant Herkimer.
The astronaut who saved me, the undersigned, from the horrid abysses!
Here it is! With his suit.
Astronaut Herkimer.
He meant it to give a speech this evening
on the importance of coastal protection,
but unfortunately,
he was suddenly struck and bad case of space laryngitis.
He doesn't want to spread germs.
Then, for the rest of the evening,
he will have to keep his visor down like in space.
But he's in there.
Right?
He has little voice.
Really? Oh, mom.
"Ninety minutes upon the President's arrival."
Here's what they warned me about.
So if you could sit at the tables,
dinner will be served. Slop for everyone.
The President is coming and the show will begin.
Thank you!
Greetings.
I have a poster of him in my room.
Hey, don't worry. It's me Norma.
What a mess you're doing wearing that costume?
Help Maxine.
I want you to have everything, the house, the money.
But you will have to choose between her and me.
Major Herkimer?
Oh, here's our table.
Are you sure?
I had no idea that we would be close.
But it's so comfortable.
I know well who made these placeholders.
I would recognize your awfulness elementary school cursive everywhere.
Let's enjoy dinner, we're old friends, like a foursome...
more Mary.
You like that astronaut, huh? He shocked the women!
Max, come here.
- Are you having fun? - Oh yes.
Here is my queen.
Maxine, we'll quiet the microphone for five minutes.
Can I ask why?
- We announce the club, this night. - A wonderful idea.
Why so much hurry?
We are at the end of the station.
Nobody will care what happens after this night.
But we don't have it yet officially signed the documents.
I didn't, however.
I am Norma's guardian.
There are many nodes which have yet to be dissolved.
- Knots? - Knots.
Max.
We had already talked about it.
No, Douglas, you talked about it. I didn't agree at all.
We can't get rid of it of Norma's house. Where will she go?
We could bring her back to Destiny Vistas.
I think she was happier there.
You can't do anything without it my consent. You said it too.
But what... What do I tell Pinky?
But how dare you? Cheating slut that you are nothing else!
You're just an adulteress with the brain of a mouse.
Gentleman.
Why don't we talk about it better at home?
- I'll be right back, dear. - How about? Calmly.
Okay.
- You're wicked! - Stop being such a child!
I thought you were my best friend.
Oh, please. We're not friends.
When have we ever spoken to each other outside the season?
- You're a big slut. - What?
- Okay. - A slut.
Let's not start right away to blame the other woman.
I can not do anything about it if Eddie doesn't want to second
- to a man with wooden teeth. - It's resin!
I simply have more to offer.
A miserable little caravan in Port Salerno?
How long do you think she will stay with you When will she realize you're broke?
Let's tell ourselves the truth.
We know both which isn't Evelyn's fault.
She is poor and alone.
Wait, you're right.
- In fact, it's all your fault, Maxine. - My fault?
If you hadn't had Perry arrested, I wouldn't be in such a mess now.
Please don't even mention it the name of that horrible scoundrel.
I hate to admit it, but I agree with Dinah.
It's all your fault, Maxine.
I mean, is your libido my fault?
I don't even want to think about it.
You fell into this city and you messed everything up.
And now look at me.
I have a dead husband, a house full of hippies
and I have to host the Beach Dance with a microcephaly.
And if Eddie is my consolation prize,
well then, my turn has come.
After putting up with Skeet Rollins for 20 years and lost a whale,
Evelyn Rollins deserves to have a wonderful cock!
Please, let's not scream the word "fuck" at my party!
- Fuck! - Oh, yes, it's wonderful.
I beg you! This is not a question of men, okay?
In this case we women are at the center...
Shut up! This fight It's very much about Eddie.
If this is the case, then I have to remind you
which I am maintaining A very important secret, Dinah!
It's about Eddie. And if he found out, he would kill him.
Which secret?
Well, I can't tell you because it's a secret.
But the point is, I have been a very good friend to both of us.
And now I ask you to be some good friends for me tonight.
Let the past fly!
The President of the United States he's coming here.
And so I ask you an atmosphere of peace and civilization.
I beg you. For the happiness of America.
Stick it in your basket, Maxine.
I agree with her.
My basket?
So Dellacorte?
When will we announce it?
Well, I have to tell you something.
My wife refuses.
And technically it's her the sole guardian of the estate.
She says she doesn't want to give up the house.
Ecucha, we had an agreement.
And we still have it. We can always do the club.
We just have to find another place to do it.
No, no, no. Either the house or nothing.
Is required?
Yes. I bought the land around it.
We cannot allow you to leave a dickde donut hole in the center.
All right, then... give me more time.
I'll make her change her mind. I always succeed.
We announce it this night. Otherwise...
Otherwise what?
Try to get there cabron! For Christ's sake.
Are you all having fun?
I don't want to distract you too much
from your cottage cheese but...
I have a wonderful diversion here suitable for you at this time.
In Palm Beach I'm an institution, The Coconuts.
We have sunlight on the sand We have moonlight on the sea
We have mangoes and bananas Which we can collect from a tree
We have volleyball and table tennis And a lot of great games
What is it that we don't have? We have no ladies
We have nothing to wear A clean white dress
What we need It is that for which there is no substitute
There's no such thing as a woman
Nothing in the world
There is nothing you can name
May she look like a lady
Then, it will resume Where did that leave Johnson, or not?
I've seen it somewhere before...
- Perry? - ...but I don't remember where.
Hey there, extra stunner.
What the hell are you doing here?
I was just chatting with your new boyfriend. He is...
Sit down. Come and sit with us.
Yes, my friend Axel liked me
telling everything of his campaign for Hubert Humphrey.
- Real? - Don't joke, darling.
Well...
What are you doing here?
Come dance with me, love. Memories, like once upon a time.
Peachtree Street. The Carousel. Memories?
I have no desire to dance.
Don't be a party pooper.
Don't spoil my party.
Oh, holy shit, Maxine. Pinky will cut off my little fingers.
Wha...
That cannot be cured Placing them close to
A girl, a woman
A female, a feminine woman
Douglas, please, do you want to try to calm down?
It makes no sense that Pinky I want to cut off your little fingers.
Pinky is the term of endearment that children give to their little fingers!
We will not give up this house!
Why do you always protect Norma?
She doesn't give a damn about us.
She was about to leave this house to a pack of cats!
- Can you lower your voice? - This is our chance
to create something lasting.
There is no one to leave it to this house, darling.
There are no children. No legacy.
And this club can be our heritage.
Something that Douglas and Maxine Dellacorte
they gave to Palm Beach.
I want to leave something behind, something that can count.
Oh, honey.
Damn. Excuse me.
Oh, no, please don't do that.
Love.
I have always felt like a failure. You did all this.
I just hung some seaweed.
For once I wanted to do it something on my own.
Let's do it.
Let's make the club.
Are you sure?
I searched a lot to enter the company
and now the company will come to me.
I love you. I will never make you regret it.
We'll tell you after my number.
But I have to warn Norma first.
Don't you want me to tell him?
No, I think it's better for him to hear it from me. We got closer.
Is everything okay, darling?
She speaks?
Only to you.
I've always liked you, Mitzi, and...
if you have something that's bugging you for the head, you can tell me.
I'm a good listener.
Almost as good as a manicurist or even a bartender.
Sentimental issues.
Oh, men. So unreliable.
You think you know them, and then they disappear.
Norm?
I'm in a bad spot.
I think I know what it is.
She can't even imagine it.
Your secret is safe with Norma.
Let's keep thinking about the fact that Mary will kill the President.
Because we are so obsessed from the idea of having to save his life
of a cynical serial killer like Nixon?
I'm not saying we should be only spectators,
but look where we are.
We have to let it happen what happens.
I can't let this happen.
What do you mean?
You don't know everything about me.
You are right. I have known you for more than three years
and I'll confess anything to you. But you never told me anything.
I do not feel comfortable to share personal things with you.
We are friends.
We are on the same side of history. Alliances are not friendships.
I know you don't want to be my friend,
because every time that I'm trying to do something
to change things, I make them worse.
Others get hurt. Better to stay away from me.
Well, I can't now, why are we stuck here.
Already.
Excuse me. If all other women are in prison, why are you out?
Why aren't you in prison?
I have friends in high places.
Do you work for the boss?
I guessed right, right?
With your library undercover.
You managed to gather all draft dodgers
and feminists, activists.
Are you drunk.
Bend over and let me see how you wag your tail.
Don't hesitate any longer, go wild with the boogaloo!
You have a lot of nerve to return to this place.
It's for the boogaloo, baby.
Admit it, you missed me.
You abandoned me, Perry.
They arrested me, my sweetheart.
I should be the angry one, you moved on very quickly.
You are right.
- I made a huge mistake. - Already.
But I felt so alone, scared.
I would never have looked at another man if...
There, I knew it.
I knew you had a bug on you.
- Try, one, two, three. - Hey, hey, hey.
What's wrong with you? Do you want to put me back behind bars?
What? Leave me...
How come he came back?
Who knows how he feels Axel.
Yes. I wonder how you feel.
I couldn't exer mas feliz.
I dodged a bullet.
- I'm going to get some drinks. - Come back soon.
Nixon tries to gain an advantage on the next elections.
And when he knew that my opportunistic little wife
he was dating the biggest financier of the Democrats,
I had the opportunity to approach him. So thank you.
Oh, hey!
Ann!
I arrived just in time.
Here is the retrospective presentation
of Norma's life.
I hope it goes well if I say a few words.
I wrote a little speech.
Oh, that wasn't necessary.
Little Jesus, you just came out of a coma.
Did they find out how it happened?
Well, it was a strange thing.
After drinking that Grasshopper of yours, my blood sugar suddenly went crazy.
The doctors said I had
- too much insulin in circulation. - Insulin?
Like that of diabetics. Don't you find it strange?
- Yes. - Oh, I'll take this to the stage manager.
Really very strange.
Smile, Norma.
What a great triumph for all of us, my friend.
What do you think of my new one young suitor?
With half of the evening's proceeds that your niece promised me,
I have a chance to keep it.
You'll get half my money only when I am already dead and buried.
Norma, you're talking...
with real ones Alphabet letters.
Exactly.
It's not Maxine who takes decisions here. It's me.
And you?
You could never have been the queen of this city.
You're just an outsider, just like my niece.
And outsiders can come second, but they never win.
Wait for your toy boy can realize it.
I preferred you when you were in a coma!
Take care of yourself, Maxine.
- And that is? Where are you going? - At home.
You can't leave. You must announce me, and I will announce Norma.
Norma just told me that she will have to snatch my proceeds
of her from her cold and dead fist, which, at this point, it would be a privilege.
What... Norma... Norma is talking?
She is pretending not to speak.
if she fooled you too, you better watch your back,
because there is no abyss into which he will not go
to get what he wants.
But the party!
I go back to my house to fuck. Fuck the party.
Eddie! Let's get out of here!
One word, Norma.
Hi, Norma.
Ann recovered from the accident. Isn't it wonderful?
The doctors said they found them
a large amount of insulin in her blood.
It's bizarre.
They've been happening lately many accidents.
First my little dive from the boat and now this.
It's really important that we take care each other like a family,
- do not you think? - You are not part of this family.
You start talking and that's it the first thing you tell me?
Why do you hate me so much?
Oh, don't be so sentimental.
Sentimental? You tried to take me out!
Everything I ever wanted it was that you thought I was worthy.
Worthy of your nephew, worthy of you, worthy of being a damned Dellacorte!
I want you out of my house!
I do not go anywhere.
You heard me. I stay here.
And I inform you...
that this house is no longer yours, anyway.
What are you babbling about?
Douglas wants to transform the house... our home... in a club.
Wha...
And I agree.
We decided it together, because it is the best thing for our family.
Don't worry, Norma.
You will always have your home.
But you will learn to share it.
I'm still your guardian and I would be sorry if I had to...
return to Destiny Vistas.
Not you?
I'm so glad we understand each other.
The President arrives in ten minutes.
Thank you.
Have you heard? Ten minutes.
He prepares a beautiful smile.
Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of attention!
The President will be here in ten minutes.
This is your moment in the sun, Ann.
Now give a big round of applause
for the stellar journalist by The Shiny Sheet
that we all love, Ann Holiday!
Thank you. Oh thanks.
- Lights, please. Oh. - Let me do it. Is heavy.
She just woke up from a coma.
- All right? - Yes, okay. Thank you.
From a very shy only child to a proud one heiress of plastic and mouthwash,
Norma Dellacorte played according to her rules.
Norma grew up in a well-known boarding school Swiss, learning good manners.
After the death of her father, she's back here in Palm Beach
and she took over the family business.
She fired the board of directors,
she replaced him with herself
and it tripled the Dellacorte's turnover.
Norma made everyone feel as if she knew them. Intimately.
The most important people came running of her at her famous Beach Dances,
which raised millions of dollars.
Norma had many admirers, but only true love.
Which was me.
People loved and feared her.
But above all, they wanted to be like her.
Oh, hello.
If you don't mind...
what happened? Between her and Norma.
Tragedies change people.
Shortly after the death of Norma's father,
she has found her mate room of the college
dead at the foot of the stairs.
Agnes was diabetic.
In those days she certainly didn't live long.
At least, not without a lot of money.
Was her friend diabetic?
Oh yes. Yes.
I followed her to Palm Beach.
But she cut off all contact.
She didn't want to see me.
She was a completely different person.
She has never married.
She didn't need it, of course.
What good is a king when she was already a queen?
So let's raise our glasses to toast the past and future queen of Palm Beach,
Norma Dellacorte!
Happy 50th Beach Dance, my dear.
Oh, Lord, we love you so much.
Really.
Is everything all right here, Major Herkimer?
It's me.
Where... Where is that astronaut?
He's gone.
You will arrest me for pretending an astronaut?
Nobody, in Palm Beach, he is who he says he is, anyway.
I can't drink on duty.
And then...
my wife would kill me if I came back with a breath that smells of liquor.
You are married?
Yes.
I married the girl from high school. Two sons.
- It will be complicated. - At all.
Being a family man It makes life so much easier.
Don't you think about your wife?
You're lying to her.
I'm not lying.
I love her.
Someone asked for my hand tonight.
If you can pretend to be an astronaut, you can pose as a husband.
It's not that different.
You can be two things at the same time.
The feds were planning to call me "Perry Mason".
And I told him: "I think he's already been taken."
- You're back, buddy. - Already.
Douglas.
Maxine. Look who's back.
Hey there, half of Douglas! What a beautiful soirée.
Perry, what a surprise. What do you do at home?
Perry is here for an exciting new one government position.
Well, and Douglas has a new exciting one deal at stake that he will announce this evening.
I spoke to Norma. Everything is fine.
You were great!
The President's music.
Do you want to meet the Boss?
- You can count on it. - Oh, you could ask him to be
the first official member of the Dellacorte Club.
Good luck.
Evelyn?
I felt so guilty for dragging you away,
that I thought of staging a little show of our own.
Hey, can you hear it?
It's Evelyn's sex music.
I heard it play every Tuesday and twice on Sunday.
She and my father had a plan.
I thought I'd show you who I really am.
Not a problem for you, right?
Oh, no. No, no, no. I don't have any problem.
It's absolutely not a problem, for me.
Very good.
Because it could be All I've got.
I, behold, I have lost my home,
and, well, most of the money,
and I would have to live in a trailer in Port Salerno.
Where?
I know. But this doesn't change how you feel about me, right?
Evelyn!
What was it?
Evelyn! Let us out!
- Linda? I thought you were in an ashram! - Open this door.
No. Let us out. Mary wants to kill the President.
Let us out.
No.
- What? - But the President will be killed.
Shut up, Virginia. It's a family matter.
What? What do you want?
I want my house back
- and half of the trust fund. - No.
Then the President will die and it will be your fault.
Evelyn, it's a question of national security.
It's my personal safety which is being traded at this moment.
What Richard Milhous Nixon did for Evelyn Marie Rollins?
You should school them, Evelyn.
Eddie, now listen to me and trust me.
The two of us can have it a beautiful life.
Wealth is given by rare moments of luck
and this is our rare moment.
Look, Linda, you have more than you will ever need
and I cleaned your daddy's ass for 20 very long years because of you.
You owe me, princess.
OMG! All right.
I swear I swear.
- Well. - Open the door, come on.
Wait. Stop! Stop! Stop.
Mitzi, where's Robert?
The astronaut must get it done his grand entrance to Norma.
We do not know. He disappeared.
Why did he leave me like this?
I spoke to Norma for a long time.
She said to say what goes through my head about her.
Of course. You always have to say what you think.
I'm pregnant.
Do you know what you will do? It's your choice.
Well, I always wanted to be a mother.
But it's so complicated.
No, no, it's not complicated at all.
If you always wanted to be a mother, it's not complicated!
Go over there and tell that man who has to marry you.
Say what to whom?
To the child's father.
Perry Donahue is sitting there, in the front row next to President Nixon.
He needs to know you're pregnant.
- No. No, Maxine... - Yes, yes, Mitzi.
In this life, Perry Donahue has to do what is right.
He must know.
Women have to have balls to say what they want,
otherwise they will never get it.
Fly.
Fly.
It will all be fine.
Poor.
It's nice to see you behaving well, Norm.
You see? Can we be friends.
Thank you!
Thank you with all my heart.
Thank you. Thank you all!
Welcome to the 50th anniversary of the Dance on the Beach!
Thank you with all my heart.
And, Mr. President, We are honored to have her here with us.
Thanks for the privilege. Thank you.
Thank you all.
Are you sure?
When I was a child...
my orphanage caught fire.
And I will never forget Sister Mary's expression
when she took me in her arms and...
and she walked through the burning building.
And I stood outside on the sidewalk in pajamas at...
to see the whole building go up in flames.
And I remember saying to myself...
"Is this all the fire is?
So that's all there is to it?"
Is that all?
If that's all, my friends
Then let's keep dancing
Let's take out the alcohol and
And let's have fun
If it is
That's it
So, after the fire I had nothing.
What's wrong in wanting to become someone,
somewhere, someday?
And what is the best place if not Palm Beach, Florida?
A round of applause for Palm Beach!
Come on, a big round of applause for my friends and neighbors!
Raquel. Why don't you say hello to everyone?
This is Raquel!
Yes, she even wiggles those big fingers sausage,
covered with enormous jewels.
Her husband, Pinky, buys the jewelry to a pawn shop.
And I know this because I've sold some there my aunt's jewelry in exchange for money.
Ba-boom!
I said ba-boom!
Thank you.
Oh, mom. Agree.
Evelyn Rollins.
Let's talk about Evelyn Rollins.
She's not here tonight, obviously.
She is...
she's getting a slick slick from a tennis coach
that she thinks she's rich.
But is not so. Have you heard?
Evelyn Rollins is broke.
She has nothing.
And here's another penniless one, ladies and gentlemen, Dinah Donahue!
Dinah Donahue.
No one in this city he can play better than Dinah.
Although I have to admit that she tried to warn me.
She tried to warn me, but I didn't listen to her.
Because I believed in love.
But it's hard, Dinah.
Tonight, it's really very difficult.
So, maybe, when we get home tonight
we will be able to look at each other for a long time at the mirror...
Yes, Dinah, do it too.
Look at yourself in the mirror, and then she asks yourself:
"So that's all there is to it?"
Thank you.
Is that all?
Come on, it's a party!
Is that all, my friends?
Then let's keep dancing Like monkeys
We take out the Boone and...
And let's pretend to have fun
If that's all
Excuse me.
Here
And then I fell in love...
of a wonderful boy.
And we went for walks along the river...
And he took me to fly, to fly on that twin-engine biplane of his.
It was just the two of us.
So I believed.
And we were in love.
Until...
Until four minutes ago,
when I found out who fucks my manicurist.
A round of applause for Douglas!
Let's give him a round of applause!
And to Mitzi too. Get up, Mitzi.
This is Mitzi, the manicurist.
She is my friend.
Mitzi.
I am sorry.
Mitzi will become a model.
And I also discovered that...
she that she will become a mother.
View? A woman can truly have it all.
Even in 1969.
Linda, wait!
Okay, now... Yes. Let's go back to the song.
I worked hard on it so...
Let's go back to the song.
Guys, give me the attack and...
It's getting depressing so let's give it a rhythm.
Can we speed up? Six, seven, eight.
Thank you.
It's all here
Faster.
If that's all, my friends
Then let's keep dancing
Everything... ah
If that's all
Here
Now, you may all be wondering:
"Well, if you really feel that way, Why doesn't she end it?"
Oh, no. Not me.
I'm not ready for...
my latest disappointment.
But while I'm here in front of you...
I know that when I take my last breath...
then I will ask myself:
"So that's really all there is to it?"
Is that all?
If that's all, my friends
How funny is that.
Then let's keep dancing
Absurd that he thought to spend my life with you...
Agnes.
And let's have fun
But... why did you call me that?
If that's all
Here
Gentlemen, I think I've eaten enough cottage cheese.
So, let's go.
Oh, no, no. Mr President, don't leave!
No, Mr President, don't go away. Don't go away!
- Robert, where are you going? - Don't go away.
Don't leave me, Mr. President. Please, President. Please!
- Maxine. Come here. - Please!
Please! Don't turn your back on me too.
-Her If she leaves, she will regret it! - Get away from that crazy woman!
She's not crazy.
She doesn't leave!
Please, Mr President.
That's how American women are, Nixon!
No.
No!
Robert! No! No!
- Let me go! - Maxine!
Robert!
Let me go!
Robert!
