Woman on film:
Darling David, where have
you been all my life?

Where have you been,
where have you been?

Where have you been?

The only thing
I needed was this man.

- Woman £2: Oh, Edie!
- What?

Woman £2:
What did you say, Edie?

All I needed was
this man-- David.

No, she was gorgeous.
Edie had everything.

She doesn't remember
what she was.

Everybody looks and thinks
and feels differently

as the years go by.

( pop standard music
playing )

- EDIE, LOOK.
- ( Edie gasps )

YOUR WEDDING JEWELS,
MOTHER DARLING.

YES.

HERE...

DO ME UP, CHICKEN.

THIS MIGHT BE THE LAST
TIME I WEAR THESE.

WHY?

WHY?

BECAUSE NEXT TIME
THIS WILL BE DANGLING

FROM YOUR NECK,
NOT MINE.

AND THESE--

THESE WILL GRACE
THE EARS

OF MRS. J. PAUL GETTY.

MOTHER.

"MRS. J. PAUL GETTY."

THAT HAS
A LOVELY RING TO IT.

OR MRS. JORDAN
McCLANAHAN.

NOW I HEAR HE HAS
HIS EYE ON YOU.

HE'S BOUND TO PROPOSE
AFTER TONIGHT.

YOU LOOK
ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS.

THE DOCTOR WAS RIGHT ABOUT
YOUR HAIR GROWING BACK.

NO ONE WILL NOTICE.

HE ALSO SAID THAT IT
COULD ALL FALL OUT

AGAIN AT ANY MOMENT,
SO I HAVE THAT

TO LOOK FORWARD TO,
HAVEN'T I?

IT'LL BE FINE.

NOW DON'T BE LONG.

( big band music
playing )

WHERE'S LITTLE EDIE?

- ISN'T SHE READY YET?
- SHE NEEDS A MINUTE.

IT'S BEEN OVER
AN HOUR, DARLING.

WELL, YOU KNOW EDIE.

ALWAYS THE QUEEN
OF THE DRAMATIC PAUSE.

I SUPPOSE I COULD
ENTERTAIN OUR GUESTS

WITH A LITTLE SONG
WHILE WE WAIT.

I PREFER THEY DON'T LEAVE
BEFORE EDIE HAS BEEN PRESENTED,

BUT THANK YOU, EDITH.

AH. THERE'S OUR GIRL.

MISS BEALE,
THEY'RE READY FOR YOU.

Edith: EDIE!

EDIE.

COME ON BACK IN.

I CAN'T.

EDITH, YOU'LL NEVER GET
A MAN TO PROPOSE TO YOU

IF YOU DON'T
HAVE A DEBUT.

AND IF YOU CAN'T GET
A MAN TO PROPOSE TO YOU,

- WELL, YOU JUST--
- YOU MIGHT AS WELL BE DEAD?

IF YOU DON'T GET MARRIED,
HOW ON EARTH

DO YOU PLAN TO TAKE
CARE OF YOURSELF?

YOU KNOW I WANT TO BE
AN ACTRESS AND A DANCER.

ONCE YOU MARRIED FATHER,

HE MADE YOU GIVE UP
YOUR SINGING.

I WON'T LET THAT
HAPPEN TO ME.

I STILL SING,

AND I HAVE A PERFECTLY
MARVELOUS MARRIAGE.

WHEN ARE YOU GOING
TO LEARN, EDIE?

YOU CAN HAVE YOUR CAKE
AND EAT IT TOO IN THIS LIFE.

NO, YOU CAN'T,
MOTHER DARLING.

EDIE, FIND A MAN

WHO'LL GIVE YOU
A LONG LEASH,

GET MARRIED

AND THEN YOU CAN DO
WHATEVER YOU WANT.

COME ON.

HOW ABOUT
MRS. HOWARD HUGHES?

TOO GREASY.

YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

Edith:
EDIE? OH, EDIE!

HAVE YOU FED BUSTER?

YES, MOTHER,
I FED HIM HIS LUNCHEON.

OH, THERE'S
A HORRIBLE SMELL.

I CAN HARDLY STAND IT.

Edith:
OH, WILL YOU SHUT UP?
IT'S A GODDAMN BEAUTIFUL DAY.

JUST SHUT UP!

WELL, LOOK WHAT
THE CAT DRAGGED IN!

- IT'S THE MAYSLES.
- Man: HELLO, EDIE.

I WAS JUST THINKING
ABOUT YOU.

WHAT BRINGS YOU
TO GREY GARDENS?

WE'D LIKE TO DO
A MOVIE JUST ABOUT
YOU AND YOUR MOTHER.

REALLY? WHAT ABOUT
THE BOUVIER MOVIE?

WELL, JACKIE'S
PROBABLY TOO BUSY

BEING MRS. ARISTOTLE
ONASSIS, HUH?

YOUR COUSIN LEE SORT OF
LOST INTEREST IN THAT AND...

PULLED THE PLUG.

OH, AL, THAT'S TERRIBLE.

YOU AND YOUR MOTHER
WERE THE BEST PART OF IT,

TO BE PERFECTLY HONEST.

MOTHER AND I ARE
VERY ENTERTAINING,
THAT'S TRUE.

SO THIS MOVIE WOULD JUST BE
STARRING ME AND MOTHER,

- NO ONE ELSE?
- THAT'S THE IDEA.

WELL, THEN IT LOOKS
LIKE THE BEALES

JUST STOLE
THE BOUVIER MOVIE.

THIS IS GREAT.

THIS IS GOING TO BE
MY BIG CHANCE--

MY CHANCE TO RELAUNCH
MY CAREER.

Edith: EDIE!

THE MAYSLES ARE BACK
TO MAKE A MOVIE

ABOUT US,
MOTHER DARLING.

DO YOU THINK YOUR MOTHER
WILL GO ALONG WITH IT?

Edie: IT'S HER HOUSE
AND SHE HAS IN IT

WHO SHE WANTS IN IT.

YOU UNDERSTAND.

Edith: OH MY HEART,
HOW PERFECTLY FLATTERING.

HELLO, MRS. BEALE.

AN OLD WOMAN
LIKE ME, NO.

I'M NOT MUCH
OF AN ACTRESS YOU KNOW.

( cat meows )

SO, BOYS,
NOW EXPLAIN TO ME:

EXACTLY HOW WOULD
THIS WORK?

IS THERE A SCRIPT?
I'M A VERY QUICK STUDY.

ARE YOU THE DIRECTOR
THEN, DAVID?

WELL, NO SCRIPT.
NO DIRECTOR.

IT'S A DOCUMENTARY.
YOU JUST DO WHAT YOU DO,

AND WE JUST STAY
IN THE BACKGROUND.

JUST ARTISTS MAKING
A FILM ABOUT ARTISTS.

WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN MAD
ABOUT THE MOVIES--

"GIGI" WITH LESLIE CARON.

OH, MARVELOUS.
DID YOU EVER SEE THAT?

- OF COURSE.
- YEAH.

IT ALL SOUNDS
TERRIBLY EXCITING.

AND I ASSUME
WE'LL SHARE IN THE PROFITS.

TO BE HONEST,
THE WORDS "DOCUMENTARY"

AND "PROFIT"
DON'T USUALLY END UP
IN THE SAME SENTENCE.

THERE'S NEVER BEEN
ONE ABOUT US.

I'M CERTAIN THAT
WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT.

- WE'LL WORK SOMETHING OUT.
- YEAH.

AND I'LL NEED A CLAUSE
IN MY CONTRACT

THAT LETS ME DO ROLES
IN OTHER MOVIES.

- WELL, SURE.
- ABSOLUTELY.

- I DON'T THINK THAT'S--
- THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

THEN THAT CEMENTS
THE DEAL.

( horn honks )

- THEY'RE HERE ALREADY.
- OH, MY GOODNESS.

BUDDY, PHELAN.

LAST ONE IN
IS A ROTTEN EGG.

BOYS, NO RUNNING
IN THE HOUSE.

GOOD MORNING,
MR. BEALE.

- Mr. Beale: HELLO, ROBERT.
- HELLO, HELLO.

MOLLY!

WE DIDN'T EXPECT YOU TILL
LATER THIS AFTERNOON.

OH, IT'S ALL RIGHT, MOLLY.
IT'S OKAY.

- HELLO.
- I JUST COULDN'T WAIT.

GO ON.

EDITH.

NOW THIS IS
FAR TOO EXTRAVAGANT.

WHAT YOU'VE GOT HERE IS
A VERITABLE ARMY OF--

WE'RE IN THE MIDST
OF A DEPRESSION, EDIE.

I'VE ALREADY HAD TO LET
HALF MY STAFF GO AND...

YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO
CUT BACK AS WELL.

IT TAKES MANY MANY HANDS
TO RUN THIS HOUSE
PROPERLY, PHELAN.

YOU CAN KEEP MOLLY
AND FRANK BUT THE REST
HAVE TO BE DISMISSED.

- WHAT ABOUT GOULD?
- WHAT ABOUT HIM?

YOU CAN'T DEPRIVE THE CHILDREN
OF THEIR MUSIC LESSONS.

THAT WOULD BE CRUEL.

FINE.

MOLLY, FRANK AND GOULD,

BUT THAT'S IT.

NOW AS FAR AS EDIE
IS CONCERNED...

PLEASE, GET HER
ENGAGED TO A...

STABLE PERSON.

THOUGH I'M NOT SURE
EITHER ONE OF YOU

WOULD KNOW STABLE IF IT
WALKED THROUGH YOUR SOUP.

WELL, WHATEVER DO YOU MEAN?

YOU KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT I MEAN, EDITH.

SHE'S UNPREDICTABLE.

THAT STUNT AT THE PIERRE
DID NOT GO UNNOTICED.

OH, PHELAN, PLEASE.

SHE'S HIGH-SPIRITED.

WELL, WHATEVER EUPHEMISM
YOU'VE GOT FOR IT...

GET HER SETTLED
IN WITH A GOOD FAMILY.

THIS IS YOUR JOB,

YOUR SOLE RESPONSIBILITY.

WHAT, YOU'RE
LEAVING ALREADY?

I HAVE TO WORK, EDITH.

SOMEONE HAS TO PAY
FOR THE MAIDSTONE CLUB

AND ALL THOSE GODDAMN
CRAB SANDWICHES.

AND SOMEONE HAS TO TEND
TO HIS SECRETARY.

( humphs )

( classical piano music
playing )

GOULD, YOU'RE HERE.

EDITH, DARLING.

OH, YOU LOOK
DIVINE.

OH, SO DO YOU.

ARE YOU IN VOICE?

I HAVEN'T PRACTICED
IN AGES.

THAT'S WHY
I'M HERE, HMM?

WELL, THEN I'M OFF.

CHILDREN, SAY GOODBYE
TO YOUR FATHER.

HE'S SUDDENLY BEEN
CALLED BACK TO THE CITY.

ALREADY?

I'LL SEE YOU
ON THE WEEKEND.

GOODBYE, BUDDY.

- BYE, LITTLE MAN.
- GOODBYE, FATHER.

CAN I COME WITH YOU?
PLEASE.

IT'S THE SUMMER, EDIE.
THERE'S NO ONE YOUR AGE IN TOWN.

BUT THERE'S A DANCE CLASS
I'D LIKE TO ATTEND.

JUST FIND
YOURSELF A NICE FELLOW
FROM THE MAIDSTONE CLUB.

THAT'S ALL YOU HAVE TO
FOCUS ON THIS SUMMER.

OH, FATHER,
BUT THEY'RE JUST SO DULL.

EDIE... ENOUGH.

( door opens, closes )

Edie:
THAT'S A SPANISH WALLED
GARDEN OVER THERE.

THE HILLS,
THEY PUT THAT IN.

THEY IMPORTED
EVERYTHING FROM ROME.

MRS. HILL, SHE WAS
A FAMOUS, UH,

HORTICULTURIST.

THAT WAS ONE OF THE FAMOUS
GARDENS OF AMERICA.

EDIE, YOU LOOK FANTASTIC.

DAVID, YOU LOOK
ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIC.

HONESTLY. YOU'VE GOT
LIGHT BLUE ON.

WELL, AL,
YOU'RE STILL, UM--

MOTHER SAYS
YOU'RE VERY CONSERVATIVE.

THIS IS THE BEST THING
TO WEAR FOR TODAY,
YOU UNDERSTAND,

BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE
WOMEN IN SKIRTS.

AND THE BEST THING
IS TO WEAR PANTYHOSE

OR SOME PANTS UNDER
A SHORT SKIRT, I THINK.

THEN YOU HAVE THE PANTS
UNDER THE SKIRT.

AND THEN YOU CAN PULL
THE STOCKINGS UP

OVER THE PANTS,
UNDERNEATH THE SKIRT.

AND YOU CAN ALWAYS
TAKE OFF THE SKIRT
AND USE IT AS A CAPE,

SO I THINK THIS IS
THE BEST COSTUME
FOR THE DAY.

OKAY.

I HAVE TO THINK
THESE THINGS UP, YOU KNOW?

MOTHER WANTED ME TO COME
OUT IN A KIMONO,

SO WE HAD
A QUITE A FIGHT.

( knocks )

AL, WAS THAT GOOD?
YOU WANT ME TO DO THAT AGAIN?

* I'M IN THE SOCIAL REGISTER

* I'M IN THE BLUE BOOK TOO

* BUT, BABY,
WHAT I WANT TO KNOW IS *

* HOW DO I RATE
WITH YOU? *

WHAT A BODY, BEALE.

"SMART AND SLEEK,
SHE SITS,

READY WITH
HER PLAYFUL QUIPS,

WONDERING WHO WILL
COME HER WAY

TO DINE HER,
TO WINE HER,

WHICH TO SNARE
TO STAY."

WILLIAM BLAKE.

EDITH BEALE-- POET,
TEMPTRESS, ENTERTAINER.

THAT WAS GREAT,
COUSIN EDIE.

AH. IT'S IN
THE BOUVIER BLOOD.

YOU CAN DO IT,
TOO, JACQUELINE.

MR. STRONG.

THE CHILDREN ARE
ALL AT THE BEACH.

SHALL WE HAVE
OUR LESSON?

OF COURSE, DARLING.

LET'S.

HOW ABOUT THIS ONE?

( pop standard music
playing )

* WE BELONG TOGETHER,
WE'RE HAPPY TOGETHER *

* AND LIFE IS A SONG

* WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER

* WE KNOW WE ARE
WHERE WE BELONG *

Both:
* WE BELONG TOGETHER
LIKE BIRDS OF A FEATHER *

* TOGETHER WE THRIVE

* LITTLE CARING WHETHER

* THE REST OF THE WORLD
IS ALIVE *

Gould:
* ALL ALONE
I'M ONLY A HALF... *

- AREN'T THEY JUST DIVINE?
- DIVINE.

Edith:
* LIKE A JOKE

* WITHOUT ANY LAUGH

Both:
* BUT WHEN WE'RE TOGETHER,
WE'RE HAPPY TOGETHER *

* AND LIFE IS A SONG

* WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER

* WE KNOW WE ARE
WHERE WE BELONG. *

BRAVA.

SHOULD I TELL THEM
ABOUT GOULD?

GOULD WAS
MOTHER'SACCOMPANIST
ACCOMPANYIST.

HE WAS
A BOOGIE-WOOGIE COMPOSER

WITH THE MOST
TERRIFIC STYLE.

HE WAS THE MOST
BRILLIANT MAN I EVER MET--

THAT'S INCLUDING MR. BEALE
AND MR. BOUVIER.

COMPLETELY BRILLIANT.

I CAME DOWN HERE TO LIVE
IN THIS-- THIS HOUSE...

BECAUSE I DID ALL
MY SINGING HERE.

I WAS SO HAPPY.

I WAS HAPPIER SINGING...

THAN ANYTHING I'VE EVER DONE
SINCE I WAS BORN.

I LIKED IT BETTER...

THAN ANYTHING
I EVER DID.

( pop standard music
playing )

* I WON'T DANCE,
DON'T ASK ME *

* I WON'T DANCE,
DON'T ASK ME *

Gould:
* I WON'T DANCE,
MADAM, WITH YOU *

Both:
* MY HEART WON'T LET
MY FEET DO THINGS *

* THEY SHOULD DO

Gould:
* YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU'RE LOVELY *

* AND SO WHAT?
I'M LOVELY *

Both:
* BUT, OH,
WHAT YOU DO TO ME *

Gould:
* I'M LIKE
AN OCEAN WAVE *

* THAT'S BUMPED
ON THE SHORE *

* I FEEL
SO ABSOLUTELY *

* STUMPED
ON THE FLOOR *

* I WON'T DANCE,
WHY SHOULD I? *

* I WON'T DANCE,
HOW COULD I? *

Both:
* I WON'T DANCE,
MERCI BEAUCOUP *

* I KNOW
THAT MUSIC LEADS *

* THE WAY TO ROMANCE

* SO IF I HOLD YOU
IN MY ARMS *

* I WON'T DANCE

* I WON'T DANCE

* I WON'T DANCE.

( applause )

( man shouting )

Edith:
* THE CHIMNEY'S SMOKING

* THE ROOF IS
LEAKING IN *

* BUT I DON'T
SEEM TO CARE *

* THERE AIN'T NO REASON

* WHY I SHOULD LOVE
THAT MAN *

* IT MUST BE SOMETHING

* THAT THE ANGELS
DONE PLANNED *

* FISH GOTTA SWIM
AND BIRDS GOTTA FLY *

* I GOTTA LOVE
ONE MAN TILL I DIE *

* CAN'T HELP

* LOVING THAT MAN
OF MINE... *

COME ON, EDIE, SOFT-SHOE.
HOW CAN YOU RESIST?

( whistles )

( applauding, cheering )

WHOO!

* WHEN HE GOES AWAY

* THAT'S A RAINY DAY

* BUT WHEN HE COMES BACK

* THAT DAY IS FINE

* THE SUN WILL SHINE

* HE CAN COME HOME
AS LATE AS CAN BE *

- * HOME WITHOUT HIM
MADE NO HOME TO ME... *
- MR. BEALE.

* CAN'T HELP LOVING
THAT MAN OF MINE. *

EDITH!

( crowd applauds )

MR. BEALE, WHAT ARE
YOU DOING HERE?

IT'S ONLY THURSDAY.

- IT'S FRIDAY, EDITH.
- OH.

GET EVERYONE
OUT OF HERE...

INCLUDING HIM--

GODDAMN GANYMEDE.

I'M RIGHT HERE, PHELAN.
I CAN HEAR YOU.

ALL RIGHT, EVERYONE,
TIME TO GO HOME.

TIME TO GO HOME.

AU REVOIR.

( whispering )
YOU GET AWAY FROM
THAT DOOR. GO.

- GO.
- COME ON, EDIE.

Phelan:
IT USED TO BE
CHARMING, EDITH.

NOW IT'S JUST SAD.

AND WHAT'S THAT, PHELAN?

YOU'RE THE MOTHER
OF MY CHILDREN,
NOT A SHOWGIRL.

( Edith giggles )
AND MOTHERS CAN'T SING?

Phelan:
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

EDIE.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

I'M MAKING A CHANGE.

I'M PUTTING THE BOYS
IN BOARDING SCHOOL

AND I'M BRINGING LITTLE EDIE
BACK TO THE CITY

BEFORE YOU RUIN HER
ALTOGETHER.

Edith: OH!

RUIN HER.

WHY, BECAUSE SHE WAS
DANCING AT A PARTY?

THE PRIEST SAID
SHE NEEDS A STRONG HAND.

Phelan:
I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THIS
CONVERSATION OVER AND OVER.

( giggles )

AND WHERE ARE YOU
IN ALL THIS,

MR. FATHER
OF MY CHILDREN?

I DON'T NEED THIS.

WELL, NEITHER DO I.

THEN YOU'LL LIVE
YOUR LIFE...

AND I'LL LIVE MINE.

WITH PLEASURE.

( piano music playing )

( humming )

MOTHER.

MOTHER, PLEASE.

AREN'T YOU GOING
TO SAY GOODBYE?

WHY?

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

I'M GOING
TO NEW YORK, MOTHER.

* GIVE MY REGARDS
TO BROADWAY. *

WHY, THAT'S JUST CRAZY.

WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO DO IN NEW YORK?

I'M GOING TO BE
AN ACTRESS AND A DANCER.

* LIFE UPON THE WICKED STAGE
AIN'T EVER WHAT A GIRL *

* SUPPOSES.

AND OF COURSE YOUR FATHER
IS GOING TO MAKE

ALL THE INTRODUCTIONS.

IS THAT IT?
SET YOU UP?

WITH ALL HIS

SHOW BUSINESS CONNECTIONS
AT THE LAW FIRM?

I WORRY
ABOUT YOU, BABE.

STAY HERE.

I'M STRONG.
YOU'VE ALWAYS SAID THAT

I WAS A STAUNCH CHARACTER,
REMEMBER?

- STOP THAT.
- CUT IT OUT!

I WANT YOUR BLESSING,
MOTHER, PLEASE.

EDITH.

( car starts )

EDIE, EDIE.

THERE'S NOTHING THERE
THAT YOU CAN'T GET HERE.

YOU CAN TRAVEL
THE WHOLE WORLD

AND YOU'LL STILL NEVER
FIND ANYTHING

AS BEAUTIFUL
AS RIGHT HERE.

BESIDES...

GOULD DOESN'T KNOW
HOW TO SOFT-SHOE.

WHO AM I GOING
TO DANCE WITH?

( car horn honks )

GOODBYE, MOTHER.

Edith:
EDIE! OH, EDIE!

SHE NEVER ANSWERS ME,
THAT WOMEN.

I SUPPOSE I WON'T
GET OUT OF HERE UNTIL
SHE DIES OR I DIE.

WHO'S "SHE,"
THE CAT?

Edie:
I DON'T KNOW WHEN I'M
GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE.

WHY DO YOU WANT
TO GET OUT?

BECAUSE I LIKE FREEDOM.

WELL, YOU CAN'T
GET IT, DARLING.

YOU'RE BEING...
SUPPORTED.

YOU CAN'T GET FREEDOM
WHEN YOU'RE BEING SUPPORTED.

I THOUGHT YOU ALWAYS SAID
YOU CAN'T GET FREEDOM

WHEN YOU'RE NOT BEING
SUPPORTED, REMEMBER?

IT'S AWFUL BOTH WAYS,
I GUESS.

I'D JUST LIKE A COUPLE OF DAYS
ON THE BEACH. THAT'S ALL.

EVERYTHING IS GOOD
YOU DIDN'T DO.

AT THE TIME YOU
DIDN'T WANT IT.

EVERYBODY LOOKS
AND THINKS

AND FEELS DIFFERENTLY
AS THE YEARS GO BY.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT
TO KEEP THE LINE

BETWEEN THE PAST
AND THE PRESENT.

AWFULLY DIFFICULT.

HELLO, FATHER.
SORRY I'M LATE.

I'VE ORDERED
FOR YOU.

SO...

- YES?
- ...ISN'T THIS THE PART

WHERE YOU ASK ME
IF I'VE MET SOMEONE NEW?

WELL, HAVE YOU?

I MEET NEW PEOPLE
ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT
AND YOU KNOW IT.

I CAN'T AFFORD TO SUPPORT
YOU INDEFINITELY, EDIE.

WHO DO YOU THINK PAYS
FOR WOMEN LIKE YOU?

- MEN LIKE ME.
- MEN LIKE ME.

BETWEEN YOUR ROOM
AT THE BARBIZON

AND YOUR ALLOWANCE,
YOUR MOTHER'S ALLOWANCE--

YOUR NEW FAKE WIFE'S
ALLOWANCE.

DON'T BE INSOLENT.

DO YOU WANT
THIS CHECK OR NOT?

AND THAT POSITION
IS STILL OPEN

AT THE LAW FIRM.

YOU'RE A SMART
GIRL, EDIE.

AND YOU'RE MORE THAN CAPABLE
OF SECRETARIAL WORK.

I DON'T KNOW WHY YOU CAN'T
HOLD ONE OF THESE JOBS.

JUST PROMISE ME

YOU'LL TRY TO GET
BACK ON COURSE.

YES, FATHER.

AT LEAST
YOU'VE GIVEN UP THAT

FOOLISH NOTION OF PERFORMING
YOUR MOTHER INFECTED YOU WITH.

OH, YES, ABSOLUTELY.

( big band music
playing )

* SHINE LITTLE GLOW-WORM

* GLIMMER GLIMMER

* SHINE LITTLE GLOW-WORM

* GLIMMER GLIMMER

* LEAD US LEST TOO FAR
WE WANDER *

* LOVE'S SWEET VOICE IS
CALLING YONDER *

* SHINE LITTLE
GLOW-WORM... *

WHO IS THAT GUY
AT THE THIRD TABLE?

THE NAME'S
JULIUS KRUG.

THE SECRETARY
OF THE INTERIOR?

NO IDEA.
WATCH OUT, HE'S MARRIED.

HEAVENS!
IT'S MAX GORDON.

WHO'S THAT?

YOU DON'T KNOW
WHO MAX GORDON IS?

HE'S A FAMOUS
PRODUCER.

MAX GORDON DISCOVERED
JUDY HOLLIDAY

AND IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED
THE KING OF BROADWAY.

IT IS A BEAUTIFUL OCEAN
TODAY, ISN'T IT?

WHAT COLOR WOULD
YOU SAY IT WAS?

BLUE.

YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

SAPPHIRE.

OH, THIS IS THE MOST
BEAUTIFUL PLACE ON EARTH.

I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE
COULD PREFER NEW YORK CITY.

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY
TO INTERRUPT YOUR LUNCHEON,

BUT I KNOW WE HAVEN'T BEEN
PROPERLY INTRODUCED.

I'M EDITH BOUVIER BEALE
AND YOU'RE MAX GORDON.

THANK YOU.
I'D HAD A FEW OF THESE
AND I STARTED TO WONDER.

I HEAR YOU'RE ON THE LOOKOUT
FOR THE NEXT GREAT ACTRESS.

I AM CASTING A NEW
MUSICAL THIS SUMMER.

I JUST ADORE MUSICALS

AND I DO TERRIFIC DANCES.

* WE ALL MARCH TOGETHER
FOR LOVE IS BEHIND *

* WE ALL MARCH TOGETHER,
UNITED WE DIE *

* WE ALL MARCH TOGETHER
BECAUSE WE LOVE THE LAND *

* IT'S THE SPIRIT
OF V.M.I. *

I WAS DOING THE V.M.I.
MARCHING SONG,

WHICH IS A GROUND MANEUVER,
AND WHEN I DO THAT,

SEE, THAT'S WHEN
THE PLANE GOES BY.

YOU'RE QUITE THE COMEDIENNE.
YOU'RE FUNNIER THAN
JUDY HOLLIDAY.

WE'RE HOLDING AUDITIONS
AT THE GUILD THEATER
AT THE END OF JULY.

RING MY OFFICE, PUT YOURSELF
ON THE LIST FOR A SHOT.

WELL, I'LL TRY
TO SQUEEZE IT IN.

THANK YOU, MR. GORDON.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

Gordon:
CUTE GAL.
( chuckles )

- MISS BEALE.
- YEAH?

THAT WAS QUITE
THE LITTLE ROUTINE
YOU PUT ON IN THERE.

WHY, THANK YOU, MR.--

KRUG. PLEASE CALL ME CAP.
EVERYBODY DOES.

CAP, THAT'S MARVELOUS.

I WAS NAMED
AFTER MY MOTHER.

SHE'S ALSO EDITH.

WOULD YOU HAVE DINNER
WITH ME, EDITH?

LUNCH?

DESSERT?

YOU COULD TAKE
ME DANCING.

COME ON, PINKY.

$658.48
TO THE MAIDSTONE CLUB.

EDITH, LET'S JUST
CANCEL IT.

NO, WHEN EDIE COMES HOME
SHE'LL WANT TO GO.

- EDITH, SHE'S NOT COMING HOME.
- DON'T SAY THAT.

I'LL PAY FOR IT
OUT OF THE BOUVIER TRUST.

NEXT.

HERE'S ONE FROM P.C.
SHANK & SONS FOR $89.27

FOR THE HEATING OIL.

SEND THAT ONE
TO MY HUSBAND.

I ALREADY DID
LAST MONTH.

YOUR HUSBAND'S WIFE
SENT IT BACK.

I AM NOT IN THE MOOD
FOR THIS, GOULD.

NOT NOW.
WE'LL FINISH LATER.

GOULD.

YES, EDITH.

YOU KNOW I'D BE
LOST WITHOUT YOU.

AND I YOU, DARLING.

LIKE A MOTH
TO THE FLAME.

AND WHAT'S A MOTH
WITHOUT A FLAME?

Cap:
DANCING ISN'T
EXACTLY MY FORTE.

Edie:
YOU'RE DOING
JUST FINE.

SO WHAT'S HE LIKE?

- WHO?
- PRESIDENT TRUMAN.

HE AND I DIDN'T
SEE EYE TO EYE
ON CERTAIN THINGS SO I--

STEPPED DOWN
FROM HIS CABINET.

OH, I JUST ADORE POLITICS.

HOW IS IT YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN SNAPPED UP

UP BY SOME ELIGIBLE
BACHELOR YET, EDITH?

OH, I'VE SWORN
OFF BACHELORS.

WHAT DO YOU HAVE
AGAINST BACHELORS?

THEY'RE BORING,
INCONSIDERATE,

PIGHEADED, STUBBORN,
SPOILED MAMA'S BOYS

WHO THINK THEY HAVE
A PREMIUM ON WOMEN,

WHICH UNFORTUNATELY
THEY HAVE,

THERE BEING SO MANY
OF US GIRLS AROUND.

- HANG ON.
- ( giggles )

BUT ONE HAS GOT
TO MAKE THE MOST
IN A DIFFICULT SITUATION,

AND THAT'S WHY WOMEN
IN DESPERATION

HAVE TURNED
TO THE MARRIED MAN.

MARRIED MEN ARE
GENEROUS AND DISCREET,

THEY DON'T MAKE A FUSS,
THEY DON'T STICK AROUND

AND THEY LET YOU HAVE
A CAREER IF YOU WANT ONE.

MOST GIRLS
WOULD BE JEALOUS.

MOST GIRLS AREN'T
EDITH BEALE.

( chuckles )

ALL I WANT
IN LIFE, MR. KRUG,

IS A DANCE PARTNER.

( piano music playing
on phonograph )

* We belong together

* We're happy together

* And life is a song

* When we are together

* We know we are

* Where we belong

* We belong together
like birds of a feather *

* Together we thrive

* Little caring whether

* The rest of the world
is alive *

* All alone

* I'm only a half

* Like a joke

* Without any laugh...

GOODBYE, EDITH.

* But when we're together

* We're happy together

* Life is a song

* When we are together

* We know
we are where we *

* Belong.

( car starts )

( music stops )

( sobbing )

- ( trash can clanks )
- SHH!

OH MY GOSH, YOU'RE LIKE
A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP.

- DO YOU WANT TO GET CAUGHT?
- I'M SORRY.

OH, GOD,
IF THEY FIND YOU HERE

I'LL BE OUT ON THE STREETS,
NO QUESTIONS ASKED.

WHAT'S THAT?

( gasps )

OH, CAP,
IT'S DIVINE.

- BUT IT'S FAR
TOO GENEROUS.
- IT SUITS YOU.

SO YOU'VE BOUGHT ME NOW,
IS THAT IT?

OF COURSE NOT, EADE.

I JUST LOVE
TO SEE YOU SHINE.

- IT'S EXCITING.
- OH, DON'T.

I ATE TOO MUCH.

I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT
BEFORE THE AUDITION.

AW, MY ANGEL, CAP.

WHO EVER SAID
YOU CAN'T HAVE IT ALL?

IT WASN'T EDITH BEALE.

( phone rings )

- HELLO, MOTHER. YEAH.
- Edie.

- ( box thumps )
- WHAT WAS THAT?

I JUST KNOCKED
OVER A GLASS.

HAVE YOU REPLIED
TO MRS. CABOT'S PARTY
INVITATION YET?

No-- I mean yes.

I SENT MY REGRETS.
I DON'T WANT TO TRAVEL

ALL THE WAY
OUT TO EAST HAMPTON
FOR JUST ONE PARTY.

WELL, IT WOULDN'T BE
JUST FOR THAT, I HOPE.

- I MISS YOU, CHICKEN.
- I MISS YOU TOO, MOTHER,

BUT I REALLY MUST GO.

IT'S JUST THAT
I'M PRESSING MY BLOUSE

and it's going to burn.

IT'S A BIT LATE
TO GO OUT NOW.

Oh no, Mother.

IT'S BURNING.

- Edie?
- TOMORROW.

TOMORROW. WE'LL TALK
AGAIN TOMORROW.

NO, EDIE?

I LOVE YOU TOO, EDIE.

( coughs )

CAN YOU BELIEVE
HE SAID I WAS FUNNIER
THAN JUDY HOLLIDAY?

- AND PRETTIER.
- HE DIDN'T SAY THAT.

WELL...

HE SHOULD HAVE.

I FLIRT,
BUT IT'S ALL TALK.

MOSTLY.
( giggles )

I WISH I'D MET
YOU BEFORE.

OH, CAP.

( phone rings )

SHE KNOWS
THAT I'M HERE.

INDEED.

- YES, MOTHER?
- Edith: Listen, babe,
I was thinking--

WERE YOU RUNNING?

No, I just got
out of the tub

and ran to the phone.

HAVE YOU GOT
A MAN THERE, EDIE?

No, of course not.

( whispers )
BUT SO WHAT IF I HAD?

WHY DON'T YOU
BRING HIM HOME?

I'D LIKE TO MEET
THIS NICE YOUNG MAN.

NO, STOP PRESSURING
ME TO COME HOME.
I'M GETTING WORK.

And I'm just about to get
an audition with--

are you sitting down?

MAX GORDON.
THE MAX GORDON.

I danced for him,
he went to pieces.

HE'S MARRIED.

Well, I don't know
if he's married,

but what does
that matter?

Mr. Gordon is a very
prominent producer.

OH, NO NO NO
NO NO, EDIE.

I DON'T MEAN HIM.

I MEAN YOUR VISITOR.

- HE'S MARRIED, ISN'T HE?
- Mother.

No, Edie, married men
will only break your heart.

I'm fine. I'm happier
than I've ever been.

YOU KNOW THAT STRESS MAKES
YOUR HAIR FALL OUT.

- REMEMBER?
- MOTHER, I'VE GOT TO GO.

OOH, I THINK
SHE'S ONTO US!

( rotary phone dialing )

- PHELAN?
- Yes.

IT'S ME.
I HAVE SOME NEWS.

Is this about
the check? Because--

NO NO NO,
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BILLS.

IT'S ABOUT YOUR DAUGHTER.

- ( knocks on door )
- Woman: MISS BEALE?

YOUR FATHER'S HERE.

HE'S WAITING DOWNSTAIRS
FOR YOU IN THE LOBBY.

- MY GOD, WE FELL ASLEEP.
- OH GOD.

HERE.

- DO YOU REMEMBER THIS?
- MAY I SEE THAT PLEASE?

THE VILLAIN
OF THE PIECE.

"TO MY BEST FRIEND
AND MOST DELIGHTFUL COMRADE,

TO MY ONLY SWEETHEART
AND WONDERFUL WIFE,

I TENDER THIS LIKENESS
OF HER HUSBAND,

PHELAN BEALE, 1929."

DID I LAUGH
WHEN I READ THAT.

AREN'T KIDS TERRIBLE?

I JUST ROARED.

I LIVED ALONE
AT LEAST 30 YEARS.
I DIDN'T MIND.

YOU GET TO
BE VERY INDEPENDENT

WHEN YOU LIVE ALONE.

YOU GET TO BE
A REAL INDIVIDUAL.

YOU CAN'T HAVE YOUR CAKE
AND EAT IT TOO IN LIFE.

OH, YES,
I DID. I DID.

I HAD MY CAKE,

LOVED IT,
MASTICATED IT,
CHEWED IT.

( laughs )
I HAD EVERYTHING
I WANTED.

SHE WAS BORED,
SHE COULDN'T STAND IT.

NO, I WAS NOT.
I WAS A GREAT SINGER.

I HAD
A PERFECT MARRIAGE,

BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN.

I HAD A TERRIBLY
SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGE.

NO, I NEVER HAD
A FIGHT IN MY LIFE.

I NEVER THREW ANYTHING
AT MR. BEALE, NEVER.

NO, I-- I NEVER--

NEVER HAD WORDS WITH--

WITH MR. BEALE AT ALL.

( giggles )

EDIE, WHY DON'T YOU SHOW
THE MAYSLES THE BEACH?

DO YOU BOYS WANT
TO SEE THE OCEAN?

- David: SURE.
- COME ON.

TICKETS PLEASE.

EDIE, THIS WILL BE BETTER
FOR YOU-- YOU CAN SWIM,

FRESH AIR.
IT'S TOO HOT IN TOWN.
YOU LOVE THE OCEAN.

EDIE, PLEASE.

EDIE!

PLEASE SAY GOODBYE.

( phone rings )

( Irish accent )
GOOD EVENING.
GREY GARDENS.

I'LL HAVE A LOOK TO SEE
IF MRS. BEALE IS AT HOME.

( normal voice )
THANK YOU, MOLLY.
I'VE GOT IT.

THIS IS MRS. BEALE.

MAY I SPEAK
WITH EDITH, PLEASE?

TO WHOM AM I SPEAKING?

- Julius Krug.
- OH.

A MR. JULIUS KRUG
FOR YOU, DEAR.

( whispering )
CAP?

WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?

I'M STUCK HERE
AT MY MOTHER'S HOUSE.

Are you all right?

- I'M FINE.
- Okay.

When are you going
to be back?

WELL, THAT'S JUST IT--
I DON'T KNOW.

I HAVE MY AUDITION
ON TUESDAY MORNING.

I JUST HAVE TO MAKE
IT BACK BY THEN.

I'LL TAKE YOU TO LUNCH
AFTERWARDS TO CELEBRATE.

Meet me at
the Hampshire House.

CAP.

- Yes, Edie?
- I L-- UM...

- I KNOW. ME TOO.
- Cap.

NEVER SAY THAT RIGHT AFTER
I SAY THAT, OKAY?

I NEVER WANT
TO WONDER IF YOU THOUGHT
YOU HAD TO SAY IT.

BUT I DIDN'T
SAY IT.

RIGHT.

I'LL SEE YOU THERE.

- Good night.
- GOODBYE.

HE SOUNDED AWFULLY
MARRIED TO ME.

( giggles )

( Edith humming )

- ( door closes )
- EDIE!

EDIE, COME HERE.

WHAT'S WRONG, MOTHER?

- WHERE'VE YOU BEEN, WOMAN?
- PARIS, MOTHER.

LOOK. KITTIES.
LITTLE BABY KITTIES.

( kittens meowing )

( gasps )

MARVELOUS.
HERE.

LOOK AT THIS ONE.

- AND THIS ONE.
- POOR OLD PINK.

SHE MUST BE STARVING.

PINKY,
ARE YOU HUNGRY?

WE'RE OUT
OF CAT FOOD.

I'LL GO INTO TOWN,
GET SOME MORE.

- ( engine starts )
- OH, EDIE! EDIE!

GET SOME ICE CREAM.
WE'LL CELEBRATE.

YES, MOTHER DARLING.

( tires squeal )

* WE ALL MARCH TOGETHER

* FOR LOVE IS DIVINE.

( laughing )

GIVE THAT TO MR. KRUG,
RIGHT AWAY.

OH, AND YOUR
NAME, MISS?

- JUDY HOLLIDAY.
- OF COURSE.

CAP.

( whispering )
ARE YOU TRYING
TO SABOTAGE MY MARRIAGE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

MY WIFE LOVED
YOUR POEM, EDITH.

I DIDN'T KNOW
SHE WAS HERE.

PLEASE, SAVE THE INNOCENT
SURPRISE ROUTINE
FOR MAX GORDON.

I TOLD YOU TO MEET ME AT
THE HAMPSHIRE HOUSE TOMORROW.

IT WAS A MISTAKE.

LOOK, I CAN'T
DO THIS ANYMORE...

AT ALL.

CAP, WHAT WE HAVE
BETWEEN US IS SPECIAL.

WHAT WE HAD
BETWEEN US...

WAS SEX.

I'M SORRY.

GOODBYE, EDIE.

( phone rings )

- EDIE?
- Mother?

OH, EDIE, EDIE,
WHERE ARE YOU?

I'M IN NEW YORK,
MOTHER.

I WAS APOPLECTIC.

I looked up my beau.

HE...

Oh, Edie.

Edie, he left you?

COME HOME, EDIE.

But I have
my audition tomorrow.

WELL, YOU'RE IN
NO CONDITION FOR THAT.

NO, THERE'LL BE
ANOTHER CHANCE.

BUT, MOTHER,
IT'S MAX GORDON.

OH, EDIE.

MAX GORDON WILL
WAIT FOR TALENT.

COME HOME
AND RECUPERATE.

LET ME TAKE
CARE OF YOU.

EDIE?

EDIE, COME HOME.
COME HOME.

( whispers )
COME HOME, EDIE.

( car approaches )

( footsteps approaching )

EDIE?
IS THAT YOU?

DID YOU BRING
THE CAT FOOD?

AND THE ICE CREAM?

- IT MELTED.
- OH.

JUST LOOK
AT THAT FACE.

HUH. THESE ARE
SOME OF THE MOST

BEAUTIFUL KITTIES
IN THE WORLD.

I COULD JUST ELOPE
WITH THESE KITTIES,

PUT THEM IN A BIG BASKET
AND ELOPE WITH THEM.

AREN'T THEY GORGEOUS?

LOOK.

EDIE?

LET'S BREED CATS, EDIE.

WOULDN'T THAT BE FUN?

YEAH.

YOU GET
SOME REST, BABE.

Edie:
ISN'T THIS A TREAT?

I HAVEN'T BEEN
OUT TO THE BEACH
IN ABSOLUTELY FOREVER.

THE ONLY REASON MOTHER
IS LETTING ME OUT

IS BECAUSE OF
YOU TWO FELLAS.

I THINK MY DAYS AT
GREY GARDENS ARE LIMITED.

I DON'T WANT
TO BE HERE.

I CAN'T STAND
A COUNTRY HOUSE
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

IT MAKES ME
TERRIBLY NERVOUS.

SCARED TO DEATH
OF DOORS, LOCKS,

PEOPLE ROAMING AROUND
IN THE BACKGROUND

UNDER THE TREES
AND IN THE BUSHES.

I'M ABSOLUTELY
TERRIFIED.

I'M NOT A BIT TERRIFIED
IN THE CITY.

NOT A BIT.

ANY LITTLE RAT'S NEST
IN NEW YORK,

ANY LITTLE MOUSEHOLE,
ANY LITTLE RATHOLE

EVEN ON 10th AVENUE
I WOULD LIKE BETTER.

( phone ringing )

( Irish accent )
GOOD AFTERNOON,
GREY GARDENS.

OH, HO HO!

OH NO, BUDDY,
IT'S ME.

HOW ARE YOU?
OH, MY BOY,

I WAS JUST
THINKING OF YOU.

OH.

( knocks on door )

COME IN.

BUDDY CALLED.

YOUR FATHER
HAS DIED.

THE FUNERAL'S HERE
IN TOWN ON TUESDAY.

I NEVER SAID
GOODBYE.

HIS WIFE GOT ALL
OF IT, BUDDY?

EVERY CENT?

MOST OF IT, YES.

WHAT LITTLE FATHER
DID LEAVE YOU WAS
PUT INTO A TRUST.

WHAT'S THAT
SUPPOSED TO MEAN?

THAT I'M NOT
RESPONSIBLE ENOUGH

TO MANAGE IT MYSELF?

WHO OVERSEES
THIS TRUST?

BUDDY AND I ARE
THE TRUSTEES.

THEN YOU CAN
CONTEST THE WILL.

Phelan Jr.:
THERE'S NOT THAT
MUCH THERE, MOTHER.

AND FRANKLY, LAWYER'S FEES
WOULD JUST EAT IT ALL UP.

BUT DON'T WORRY,
YOU AND EDIE WILL

CONTINUE TO RECEIVE
YOUR MONTHLY STIPEND.

THAT BARELY COVERS
THE GROCERIES

AND THE LONG
DISTANCE BILL.

HE'S HAD ME LIVING

ON $150 A MONTH...

FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS.

Buddy:
IF WE INCREASE
YOUR ALLOWANCE,

YOUR MONEY WILL JUST
RUN OUT THAT MUCH SOONER.

WHICH IS WHY BUDDY
AND I HAVE FOUND

A NICE PLACE
IN MARCO ISLAND

THAT YOU COULD AFFORD
IF YOU WERE TO SELL
GREY GARDENS.

I'D LOVE TO MOVE
TO A HOT LITTLE ISLAND.

SOMEONE'S FINALLY
SINGING MY SONG.

NO MORE HORRID WINTERS.

AND THERE WOULDN'T
BE NEARLY THE UPKEEP
THIS PLACE REQUIRES.

WHAT DO
YOU SAY?

IT WOULD BE
GOOD FOR YOUR BACK,
MOTHER DARLING.

YOUR ARTHRITIS ISN'T
GETTING ANY BETTER.

Phelan, Jr.:
YOU COULD GET A PLACE
ALL ON ONE LEVEL--

NO STAIRS TO CLIMB.

I COULD WORK
ON MY NIGHTCLUB ROUTINE.

Buddy:
YOU COULD EVEN AFFORD
TO HIRE SOME HELP, MOTHER.

WE'VE WORKED
IT ALL OUT.

MAYBE TRAVEL
OR MEET SOMEBODY.

OH. HA!

I'M NOT SELLING
GREY GARDENS, CHICKENS.

ARE YOU SURE YOU DON'T WANT
TO SPEND THE NIGHT HERE?

IT'S SUCH A LONG DRIVE
BACK TO GLEN COVE.

YOU'RE NOT
UNDERSTANDING.

YOUR TRUST WON'T
LAST FOREVER

AND WE CAN'T AFFORD TO FIX
THIS PLACE UP FOR YOU.

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO
IS SIGN THIS POWER-
OF-ATTORNEY FORM.

WE'LL TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING.

GREY GARDENS IS
IN MY NAME.

IT ALWAYS HAS BEEN.

THAT'S NOT GOING
TO CHANGE.

THE ONLY WAY I'M EVER
LEAVING GREY GARDENS

IS FEET FIRST.

EVENTUALLY YOU'LL
BE FORCED TO LEAVE.

( screaming, sobbing )

Edith: EDIE?

( screams )

- ( continues sobbing )
- ( scissors snipping )

OH, NO!

OH, EDIE, EDIE,
EDIE, STOP!

PUT THAT DOWN.

OH MY GOD. NO.

NO NO. OH, BABY.

NO! NO!

OH NO.
OH, EDIE.

OH, MY BABY.

SHH.

YOU'VE GOT TO GO ON.

CHICKEN, YOU'VE GOT TO
GO ON IN LIFE...

EVEN WHEN
YOU'VE LOST YOUR SONG.

COME ON.
COME ON.

COME ON,
SWEETHEART.

Edith: OH, JUST
THINK OF THE...

HAT OPPORTUNITIES
THIS PRESENTS, BABE.

( both laughing )

Al: WHAT DID YOU THINK
WHEN EDIE CAME BACK
FROM THE BARBIZON?

OH, I HAD
TO BUILD HER UP.

SHE WAS VERY SICK.

AND I WAS HAPPY
TO DO IT.

- David: SHE WAS SICK?
- Edith: OH... YEAH.

VERY DELICATE

AND VERY ILL.

SHE WAS VERY DELICATE,

VERY BAD.

I DON'T LIKE
DELICATE WOMEN.

I HATE THEM.

THEY CAN'T HAVE BABIES.
THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW
I CAME BACK TO GIVE
GOULD A VACATION.

YES, HE WANTED
A VACATION.

BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT.

NOW LISTEN.
YOU'RE WASTING--

YOU'RE WASTING
THAT THING ON THIS,

BECAUSE THIS IS
JUST NUTS.

HOW LONG AM I GOING
TO BE ON DISPLAY?

I'M NOT IN
THE MOOD ANYMORE.

YOU'RE DOING
GREAT, MRS. BEALE.

I SUPPOSE MOTHER
DIDN'T WANT ME

TO HAVE ANYBODY
THAT WAS DECENT.

YOU UNDERSTAND.

( church bells ringing )

( bagpipes playing
over radio )

- ( bagpipes continue )
- ( church bells continue )

Radio announcer:
Under brilliant sunshine,
a steady stream

of some 200 world
statesmen follow

a black-veiled
Jacqueline Kennedy

as she walks
in silent dignity

behind the coffin
of her slain husband.

A hushed silence
has fallen across

the thousands
of bystanders

who line the route
of the funeral procession

as they catch
their first glimpse

of President Kennedy's
children,

Little Caroline
and John,

dressed in their
best coats,

holding their
mother's hands

and surrounded
by a sea of black.

John John's third
birthday is today.

It is 12:00 here
in Washington

as Mrs. Kennedy leads
her children

up the cathedral steps
and into the west door

of St. Matthew's
for the service.

Edie:
OF COURSE I'M MAD
ABOUT ANIMALS,

BUT RACCOONS AND CATS BECOME
A LITTLE BIT BORING.

I MEAN FOR TOO LONG
A TIME--

I DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW.

I'D BETTER CHECK
ON MOTHER AND THE CATS.

SHE'S A LOT OF FUN.
I HOPE SHE DOESN'T DIE.

I'D HATE TO SPEND ANOTHER
WINTER HERE, THOUGH.

OH GOD, ANOTHER WINTER.

( cat meows )

Edie:
THIS IS PRIVATE
PROPERTY YOU KNOW.

YOU SHOULDN'T
BE HERE.

MISS BEALE, I'M THE HEAD
OF THE HOUSING

AND SANITATION DIVISION
OF THE SUFFOLK COUNTY

HEALTH DEPARTMENT,
AND THIS IS MY DEPUTY.

HOW YOU DO,
MISS BEALE?

WE'VE RECEIVED
SEVERAL COMPLAINTS.

FROM WHOM?

MOSTLY FROM PEOPLE
DOWNWIND OF YOU.

THE COMMUNITY'S
CONCERNED WITH THE STATE
OF YOUR PROPERTY,

STARTING WITH
THIS AUTOMOBILE
IN THE YARD HERE.

LOOK, THINGS JUST TEND
TO ACCUMULATE

AFTER LABOR DAY,
WHAT CAN I TELL YOU?

RIGHT. WE ALSO UNDERSTAND
THAT YOU MAY HAVE NO HEAT,

NO RUNNING WATER,
AND YOUR HOME IS
NO LONGER FIT FOR HUMAN

OR EVEN ANIMAL
HABITATION.

WHO PUT YOU UP TO THIS?
WAS IT MY ROTTEN BROTHERS?

WE NEED TO INSPECT
YOUR HOME FOR POSSIBLE
HEALTH-CODE VIOLATIONS.

HAVE YOU GOT
A SEARCH WARRANT?

UH, WELL, NO.

MY MOTHER AND I
APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN,

BUT YOU REALLY
SHOULDN'T HAVE COME.

IF THIS PLACE ISN'T
THOROUGHLY CLEANED UP,

WE'LL HAVE NO CHOICE
BUT TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION

TO FORCE YOU
AND YOUR MOTHER TO VACATE.

Edith:
WHAT DO YOU MEAN
THE TRUST HAS RUN OUT?

COMPLETELY?

OH, BUDDY, HOW?

NO, NO FLORIDA!

WE HAVE BEEN CLIENTS
OF P.C. SHANK & SONS

FOR OVER 50 YEARS.

DOES THAT NOT COUNT
FOR ANYTHING AT ALL?

HUH?

WELL, YES.

BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A
REVERSAL OF FORTUNE, SIR,

WHAT DO YOU HOPE
WILL HAPPEN TO YOU?

HELLO?
HELLO?

EDIE, CALL THE GROCER.
I'M STARVING.

MOTHER,
THEY'VE CUT US OFF.

CAN YOU GET
THE HEATING GUY BACK?
IT'S GETTING COLD.

HE WON'T COME.
WE OWE HIM $947.

GO TO BED WITH HIM
IF YOU HAVE TO.

WINTER'S JUST
AROUND THE CORNER.

EVERYONE JUST HOLD
HERE, OKAY?

( knocking on door )

MISS BEALE.

MISS BEALE, WE'RE BACK
AND WE NEED TO SPEAK TO YOU.

Edie:
IT'S THE AUTHORITIES.

I'LL BE DOWN
JUST AS SOON AS
I PUT ON SOME LIPSTICK.

JUST STAY HERE,
I'LL TAKE CARE
OF EVERYTHING.

- Edith: EDIE,
DON'T LET THEM IN.
- HELLO.

- WHAT?
- HERE'S THE INSPECTION
WARRANT

YOU WERE ASKING FOR,
MISS BEALE.

"DISEASED CATS."
WE'RE NOT HARBORING
ANY DISEASED CATS.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
HERE TO DETERMINE.

- EXCUSE ME, MA'AM.
- WAIT! NO!

- OH, JESUS.
- YOU CAN'T GO IN THERE!

ONE OF YOU CHECK THERE.

- ( meows )
- Edie: DON'T GO UP THERE!

- OH MY GOD.
- GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE!

- GET OUT
OF MY MOTHER'S HOUSE!
- Edith: EDIE!

SOMEONE GET A CAGE, PLEASE.

( coughing )

WATCH YOUR STEP
THROUGH HERE.

MY GOSH.

EDIE.

GET OUT OF OUR HOME.

( howls )

( murmuring )

I CAN'T STAND
THIS MEAN, NASTY
REPUBLICAN TOWN.

I MEAN, WHERE ELSE
BUT IN EAST HAMPTON

DO YOU HAVE TO PAY TO GET
YOUR GARBAGE TAKEN AWAY?

THERE'S SOMEONE
OUT THERE.

THERE'S NO ONE OUT THERE.
IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD, KID.

I THINK
HE HAS A CAMERA.

YOU NEED TO GET
DRESSED, MOTHER DARLING.

YOU DON'T WANT
THE WHOLE WORLD

TO SEE YOU
LOOKING LIKE THAT.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN
THE WHOLE WORLD?

THERE'S NO ONE HERE
BUT US CHICKENS.

I THINK YOUR STAUNCH
DAUGHTER JUST CAME UP

WITH THE SOLUTION
TO OUR VEXING SITUATION.

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET
A VERY GOOD PICTURE

FROM ALL THE WAY
BACK HERE.

I'M SORRY, I WAS--

PLEASE DON'T
CALL THE POLICE.

THE POLICE?

MOTHER THOUGHT WE SHOULD
INVITE YOU IN FOR TEA.

OH, YOU WANT ME
TO STAND HERE?

YEAH, RIGHT THERE.

( camera clicking )

ARE YOU TAKING
PICTURES OF ME?

YES, MRS. BEALE.

DID YOU PHOTOGRAPH
THE CARVED BANISTER
AND PANEL DOORS?

ONLY A STUDENT
OF ARCHITECTURE

COULD FULLY APPRECIATE
DETAILS LIKE THAT.

( camera clicking )

YOU'RE GOING TO PUBLISH
THESE PHOTOGRAPHS, RIGHT?

THEY'LL DEFINITELY
BE PUBLISHED.

GREAT.

( sighs )

( knocking )

WHO IS IT?
WHO'S THERE?

AUNT EDIE,
IT'S JACQUELINE.

JACQUELINE, I WAS JUST
THINKING ABOUT YOU.

WE'LL BE RIGHT DOWN.

( coughing )

Edith:
OH, JACQUELINE.

WE WEREN'T
EXPECTING YOU.

SORRY TO HAVE
COME OVER UNANNOUNCED,

- BUT YOUR PHONE'S
BEEN DISCONNECTED.
- OH. HMM.

THAT-THAT-THAT CAT IS
GOING TO THE BATHROOM

RIGHT ON THE BACK
OF YOUR PORTRAIT,
AUNT EDITH.

EDIE'S A LITTLE,
UH, NOT MUCH OF A...

CLEANER.

SHE DOESN'T LIKE TO POLISH
AND DO THINGS LIKE THAT.

WHY DON'T WE ALL GO SIT
OUT IN THE WALLED GARDEN?

IT'S SUCH
A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD
SUCH A GORGEOUS HAIR.

IT'S WONDERFUL
TO SEE YOU, DEAR.

WHAT BRINGS YOU TO EAST
HAMPTON, JACQUELINE?

I NEEDED TO GET AWAY,

SO I DECIDED TO STAY
WITH LEE IN MONTAUK
FOR A FEW DAYS.

- OH, LEE'S IN MONTAUK?
- Jacqueline: MM-HMM.

I'VE GOT A NIECE IN MONTAUK
AND I DIDN'T KNOW.

Jacqueline:
SHE'S STAYING
AT ANDY WARHOL'S PLACE.

MY SISTER'S FALLEN IN WITH
A BIT OF A FILM CROWD.

SHE'S GOT HER MIND
SET ON MAKING A MOVIE

ABOUT OUR CHILDHOODS
OUT HERE IN EAST HAMPTON.

WELL, IF YOUR EVER NEED
A PLACE TO STAY, CHICKEN,

IF YOU NEED
TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL,

THE DOOR'S ALWAYS OPEN.

OH GOD, THESE CHAIRS.

ARE THEY DIRTY,
THESE CHAIRS?

WE CAN SIT ON PAPER.

HUH.

JACQUELINE, DID YOU...

HUH.

DID YOU RECEIVE
OUR CONDOLENCES

AFTER THAT--

THAT TERRIBLE
THING WITH JACK?

OH, I MEANT
TO THANK YOU.

I'M SORRY.

Edith:
YOU'VE HAD QUITE A ROUGH
GO OF IT, HAVEN'T YOU?

I DON'T THINK
I WAS EVER REALLY
CUT OUT FOR PUBLIC LIFE,

SUCH SCRUTINY.

NO JUDGMENTS HERE,
JACQUELINE.

THANK YOU, AUNT EDIE.

YOU TWO HAVE ALWAYS
BEEN SO WARM TO ME.

EDIE, ARE YOU
ALL RIGHT?

IS IT TRUE THAT JACK KENNEDY
GAVE YOU GONORRHEA?

EDIE!

I'M TERRIBLY SORRY,
JACQUELINE.

DO YOU REMEMBER
JACK'S BROTHER,

JOE KENNEDY JR.?

NO, EDIE, HE DIED
IN THE WAR YEARS
BEFORE I EVEN MET JACK.

WHEN HE DIED I CRIED,
I REALLY DID.

JOE WAS AN EXTRAORDINARILY
BEAUTIFUL YOUNG MAN.

I WAS REALLY
TAKEN BY HIM.

YES, TOO BAD
HE WASN'T TAKEN BY YOU.

HE CERTAINLY WAS.

IT'S NO SECRET THEY WERE

GROOMING HIM
TO BE PRESIDENT

BEFORE THEY EVER STARTED
LOOKING TO JACK.

HE WAS A SUPERB DANCER.

HE REALLY WAS.

IT WAS HIS MANNERS
I REMEMBER MOST, THOUGH.

YOU KNOW WHAT
I'LL ALWAYS REMEMBER?

SUMMERS HERE
IN EAST HAMPTON,

WITH AUNT EDIE SINGING
AND YOU TAKING ME
DOWN TO THE BEACH.

I WAS THE GOLDEN GIRL.

YOU CERTAINLY WERE.

EDIE, GET US
SOME PATE, WON'T YOU?

YOU KNOW, IF JOE HADN'T
GONE DOWN IN THE WAR,

THEN I CERTAINLY WOULD HAVE
MARRIED HIM AND THEN I--

EDIE, DON'T!
JUST GET US SOME PATE

OR ICE CREAM
OR SOMETHING.

--I'D HAVE BECOME
FIRST LADY AND NOT YOU.

YES, JACQUELINE.

IT COULD HAVE
BEEN ME.

I WISH IT HAD
BEEN YOU, EDIE.

I REALLY DO.

GREY GARDENS.

I HARDLY RECOGNIZE IT.

BUDDY SAID YOU WON'T
LET THEM SELL IT.

THEY ARE LOVELY BOYS,
BUT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I DON'T THINK
I DO EITHER.

GREY GARDENS...

IS MY HOME.

IT'S THE ONLY PLACE

WHERE I FEEL
COMPLETELY MYSELF.

YOU HAVE EXTRAORDINARY
DETERMINATION, AUNT EDIE.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORRY.

ARI AND I ARE GOING
TO HELP YOU GET THINGS
ALL STRAIGHTENED OUT.

LEE CAN SUPERVISE EVERYTHING
SINCE SHE'S SO CLOSE BY.

I HAD NO IDEA, REALLY.

OH DEAR, NO.

I COULD NEVER ASK YOU TO
DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

YOU DIDN'T.
I'M OFFERING.

INSISTING, IN FACT.

"IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME."

YOU NEVER DATED
JOE KENNEDY.

WHAT A WHOPPER!

I MET HIM AT A HOUSE
PARTY AT PRINCETON.

EXACTLY,
YOU MET HIM,

BUT YOU WEREN'T
GOING TO MARRY HIM.

THAT'S CLEAR.

WELL, I MIGHT HAVE,
MOTHER DARLING.
I MIGHT HAVE.

Edie:
YOU WANT TO TAKE
MY PICTURE?

Edith:
THIS HAS ALL BEEN
VERY VERY HARD ON ME,

TAKE IT RIGHT HERE.

THIS IS THE ORIGINAL
PORCH OF THE HOUSE.

THE THREAT OF EVICTION,
PRESUMABLY OVER.

60-YEAR-OLD ENGLISH IVY!

WHAT'S GOING ON?

- Edith: EDIE!
- THAT WOULD BE GOOD.

- Edith: OH, EDIE!
- WHAT? WHAT?

DON'T LET THEM TAKE
ANYTHING OUT OF MY HOUSE.

WHAT'S IN THAT BAG?

EDIE, WHAT'S HE GOING
TO DO WITH THAT RUG?

- LEE, WHAT'S GOING ON?
- WHAT'S HE TAKING OUT?

THIS IS ALBERT
AND DAVID MAYSLES.

DAVID AND AL,
VERY NICE TO MEET YOU.

A MOVIE
WITH LEE AND JACKIE?

OH.

COME ON, LET'S GO INSIDE
FOR A SECOND.

THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH THAT RUG.

HEY, WE HAVE ANYMORE
OF THOSE?

YEAH.

( pop standard music
playing )

Edith:
IF EDIE WERE ANY GOOD,
IF SHE WERE ANY GOOD AT ALL--

THIS IS ALL
SOFT-SHOE NOW, YOU KNOW?

THIS IS A DANCE.

COME ON, EDIE.

I USE TO DO IT MYSELF,
YOU KNOW.

I DID THAT--
SOFT-SHOE.

* TO SEE US
OR HEAR US *

* NO FRIENDS
OR RELATIONS *

* ON WEEKEND VACATIONS

* WON'T HAVE
IT KNOWN, DEAR *

* THAT WE OWN
A TELEPHONE *

* NO NO NO...
BUT, UH... *

* I'LL AWAKE

* AND START TO BAKE

* A SHOOG SHOOG SUGAR

* CAKE CAKE CAKE

* HMM, SEE,
FOR ALL THE GIRLS *

* TO SEE

* WE CAN RAISE
A FAMILY *

* A GIRL FOR YOU,
A BOY FOR ME *

* OH, CAN'T YOU SEE

* HOW HAPPY
WE WOULD BE? *

DANCE TO THAT, EDIE.

IT'S A WALTZ.
COME ON. GET EDIE UP.

DANCE THE WALTZ.
HOW CAN YOU RESIST IT?

( coughs )

HOW CAN
YOU RESIST THAT?

( vocalizing )

* OH, CAN'T YOU SEE

* HOW HAPPY
WE WOULD BE? *

* WOULD BE?

( music stops )

ISN'T THAT
A BEAUTIFUL CHORD?

( marching music
playing )

( laughs )

Edie: Darling David,
where have you been
all my life?

Where have you been?
Where have you been?

Where have you been?

The only thing
I needed was this man.

- Edith: Oh, Edie.
- What?

What did you say, Edie?

All I needed was
this man-- David.

( whistles weakly )

I wish I had David and Al
with me before this.

Edith:
Yeah well,
you had your mother.

Yeah.

But they're
more interesting.

DAVID, AL.

IT'S AN ARTISTIC SMASH.

THANK YOU.
THANK YOU, EDIE.
IT'S NOT FINISHED YET.

THAT IS IS ONLY 1/100th
OF WHAT IT WILL LOOK

AND SOUND LIKE
WHEN WE'RE DONE.

I'LL HAVE TO CALL UP
EVERY ONE OF MY RELATIVES

AND TELL THEM I'LL NEVER
SPEAK TO THEM AGAIN

IF THEY DON'T
GO TO SEE IT.

EDIE, HAVE YOU
SEEN WHISKERS?

WHERE'S THAT KITTY?

THAT'S MOTHER'S
NEW FAVORITE CAT--

EARS LIKE A RUSSIAN BOAR.

SHE JUST LOVES HIM
AND HE DISAPPEARED.

NOW, DAVID, THIS FILM
IS VERY ADVANCED--

JUST LIKE THE WAY THAT
THE NEW WAVE CHANGED CINEMA,

ALTHOUGH I NEVER DID GET
OUT TO SEE THE NEW WAVE.

OH MY GOD-- ABROAD!

THEY'RE GOING TO
LOVE IT IN EUROPE.

DO YOU THINK YOU CAN
MAKE IT TO THE PREMIER?

WE COULD REALLY
USE YOU THERE.

NO NO NO,
I DON'T THINK SO.

THAT'S NOT FOR ME,
NOT MY KIND OF THING.

OH, BUT I WISH YOU

ALL THE LUCK
IN THE WORLD.

WE'RE GOING TO SEE YOU
AT THE PREMIERE, RIGHT?

WE'RE GOING TO PAINT
THE TOWN RED TOGETHER.

IF YOU DON'T
WIN 90 PRIZES

FOR THIS MOVIE,
I'LL BE VERY SURPRISED.

THANK YOU.

GOODBYE, AL.

GOODBYE, EDIE.

- GOODBYE, DAVID.
- GOODBYE, EDIE.

YOU WERE MAGNIFICENT,
MOTHER DARLING.

YOU STOLE THE SHOW.

I LOOKED FAT.

DIDN'T GREY GARDENS
LOOK TERRIFIC?

HUH. HELP ME INTO
MY ROLLING CHAIR.

I CAN'T STAND
UP ANY LONGER.

I WOULD THINK
I'LL JUST BE HAVING

TO TRAVEL ALL THE TIME--

PARIS, LONDON,

ROME-- FINALLY.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

OH, AND THE PREMIERE!
THAT'LL BE SOMETHING.

I WOULDN'T GO TO THAT
PREMIERE IF I WERE YOU.

BUT, MOTHER,
YOU HEARD AL.

THEY NEED ME THERE.
THAT FILM IS A WORK OF ART.

I THINK IT WOULD BE
A TERRIBLE MISTAKE.

BESIDES YOU'VE
ALREADY SEEN IT.

WHY DON'T YOU PUT
ON THAT ORCHESTRATION

OF "TEA FOR TWO"?

WHY WOULD IT
BE A MISTAKE?

I DON'T THINK
YOU SEE YOURSELF

THE WAY OTHERS
SEE YOU.

YOU'RE A-- A...

I'M WHAT?

YOU'RE AN ACQUIRED
TASTE, BABE.

NOW LET'S JUST FORGET
THE WHOLE THING, OKAY?

NOW GO GET THAT RECORD.
WE NEED SOME MUSIC.

WHISKERS?
WHISKERS!

WHISKERS!

YOU JUST CAN'T STAND
THAT THE WHOLE WORLD

IS GOING TO KNOW
THE TRUTH.

ABOUT WHAT?

ABOUT HOW YOU'VE HELD
ME BACK ALL THESE YEARS.

IT'S ALL IN
THAT PICTURE.

DID WE JUST WATCH
THE SAME MOVIE?

I'M GOING TO
THAT PREMIERE.

NO, YOU DON'T LEAVE.

YOU SAY YOU WILL,
BUT YOU NEVER DO.

NOW LET'S HAVE
THAT SONG.

NO! IT'S NOT GOING
TO WORK THIS TIME.

THIS IS MY CHANCE!
DON'T YOU SEE THAT?

NO, YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE
AND YOU MISSED OUT.

YEAH, BECAUSE I HAD
TO COME HOME...

- NO NO.
- ...TO TAKE CARE OF YOU.

THAT MARRIED MAN
WAS NOT GOING TO DO

ANYTHING FOR YOU
AT ALL, EDIE.

YOU STUCK ME
IN THIS GODDAMN HOUSE!

NOBODY STUCK
ANYBODY ANYWHERE.

IF YOU'RE STUCK, EDIE,
IT'S ONLY WITH YOURSELF!

EDIE!

EDIE.

EDIE!

( cat meows )

Edie: WHISKERS.
( mimics kisses )

YOU RAN AWAY, HUH, BOY?

MOTHER WAS APOPLECTIC.

- ( purring )
- SHE NEEDS YOU.

( door opens, closes )

EDIE, IS THAT YOU?

OH, MY HEART.
BRING HIM HERE.

HUH!

NOW WHY DID
YOU RUN AWAY

THE WAY YOU DID, HUH?
OH, WHISKERS.

I WON'T GO
TO NEW YORK.

I GOT IT ALL WRONG,
DIDN'T I?

IT WAS ALL MY FAULT,
WASN'T IT?

I SHOULD HAVE LET YOU
STAY IN NEW YORK.

I COULD HAVE
GONE ANY TIME.

EDIE, I NEED
YOUR HELP.

- HERE, TAKE MY HAND.
- NO NO NO NO NO NO NO.

IN THE CLOSET
UNDER THE STAIRS

THERE'S A LITTLE
YELLOW BOX.

IT'S HIDDEN BACK BEHIND.
I WANT YOU TO GET IT FOR ME.

GO ON, GO GET IT.

CAN YOU FIND IT, EDIE?

YOUR WEDDING JEWELS.

YOU'VE KEPT THESE
ALL THIS TIME?

I WAS SAVING
THEM FOR YOU.

YOU SHOULD
HAVE SOLD THEM.

GOD KNOWS
WE NEEDED THE MONEY.

THINGS COULD HAVE
BEEN DIFFERENT.

( chuckles )

THERE'S NOTHING
TO REGRET.

BESIDES, THEY WEREN'T
MINE TO SELL.

THEY'VE ALWAYS
BEEN YOURS.

YOU CAN WEAR THEM
TO THAT PREMIERE.

OKAY, OLD GAL.

I SAID NOTHING
BUT SENSIBLE SENTENCES

IN THAT PICTURE,
DIDN'T I?

OH YES, MOTHER.
YOU'RE A STAR.

OH, NO.
YOU'RE A STAR.

NO NO, YOU'RE A STAR.

( horns honking )

( audience applauding )

( phone rings )

SO, EDIE,
HOW'D IT GO, CHICKEN?

Man:
Mrs. Beale?

This is Walter Goodman
of "The New York Times."

I was wondering
if you had any comment

on the Maysles's
"Grey Gardens"?

NO, MR. GOODMAN.

IT'S ALL IN THE MOVIE.

Mrs. Beale?

HMM.

- IT'S ALL IN THE MOVIE.
- ( meows )

( applause )

Man:
WILL YOU SING US
ANOTHER SONG, EDIE?

Edie:
YOU REALLY WANT
ME TO? OKAY.

( lounge music playing )

* TEA FOR TWO

* AND TWO FOR TEA

* YOU FOR ME

* AND ME FOR YOU

( vocalizing )

* NO FRIENDS
OR RELATIONS *

* ON WEEKEND VACATIONS

* WE WON'T HAVE
IT KNOWN, DEAR *

* THAT WE OWN
A TELEPHONE *

* DEAR

* I'LL AWAKE

* AND START TO BAKE

* A SUGAR CAKE

* FOR ALL THE
WORLD TO SEE *

* WE WILL RAISE
A FAMILY *

* A GIRL FOR YOU

* A BOY FOR ME

* CAN'T YOU SEE
HOW HAPPY *

* WE WILL BE?

( cheering, applauding )

THANK YOU.

ALL I CAN SAY IS
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Edie:
NO ANIMALS WERE HARMED IN
THE MAKING OF THIS MOVIE.
