He is just a dreamer on the door steps of life.

Lets stay together, girls.

Lets stay together, let's stay together.

Nice, okay.

Stop, back it up.

On four, one, two, three, four, yeah.

Mr Reynolds, here's the schedule for the tour.

And we have to meet with the Art Director.

Good, Lola.

Good, good, good, good.

Right, right, right, right.

And also I need a list

of who you're gonna send for fittings.

I'll send the same crew we always do.

Lauren, Joanne, Cara, Carlos, Jenna,

and that kid with the funny feet, Dennis.

Dennis, okay.

And I will have that by 5:30.

Okay, take 10, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate.

There you are, man.

You know something?

You have something special.

You have great potential.

You a very interesting type.

You're an interesting actor and you're gonna be a star, kid.

But every time you come to me, I wish I had a part for you.

But why did you get older?

Why did you get taller?

I didn't realize that you would change from a kid

to a grown up so fast.

You're not right for anything in this show,

but I called you in because I just had to see you.

You're so good and I think one day

we are definitely gonna work together.

We're definitely gonna work together.

You are absolutely sensational,

and I thought that maybe this was your chance.

But you got too tall, you got too big,

you got too manly looking,

but I will call you to play adults, okay?

- All right. - I promise.

All right, thank you for your time.

You're a cool cat!

Oh, man.

Okay, lets go.

Lets go.

Yes, girls.

Hit that floor, come on now.

Yes!

Please go to the back of the line,

y'all don't know what you're doing.

That's it, girl, that's it!

Great, lets go!

Oh, all right.

You're looking good.

I'm gonna keep working on this.

All right ladies, thank you.

Thank you very much.

Good job, good job.

You have to stretch your legs and you move those hips, okay?

Like this.

Yes, yes, girl.

Yes, like that, all right?

All right.

Good job, good job.

Hi, Shakespeare.

How are you doing, Mr. Shaw.

How did it go?

- All right, ladies. - Bye, thank you.

All right, all right.

Heard he said I wasn't her type.

Fantastic.

Yeah, he said the same thing about me too.

You know I auditioned for him several times?

And he doesn't like nothing that I do.

Yeah, I think he's bi-polar or something.

Hey, I went on an audition today.

I was positive.

Man, I feel good about it.

Remember the woman that said like this

and moving her hips?

My benefactor, supporter, my boss.

She's the one responsible for keeping my classes going

at the hospital.

Man, I really exercise them.

I Keep 'em happy.

That was a great class.

Are we still meeting later at the hospital?

Now, I would never, ever miss that.

I'll see you later.

Bye.

That's how you get 'em all, huh?

You oughta invite me to you class,

I'd come in and take 'em all away from you.

Yeah, don't quit your day job.

Time to eat.

Come on now.

Come on down, it's time to eat.

Smells good for a change.

I hope it tastes as good as it smells.

Bill Sanders wants you to work

at the Long Island plant tomorrow.

Sanders, he'll be out of a job soon.

The young ones are coming up

and pushing all the old timers out.

Well, just last week, three men were forced to quit.

Why?

The young one's,

the company doesn't care for the old timers.

They don't care about experience, just youth.

It's a shame.

Well, at work, when one of the medical assistants gets old

or leaves, they put someone young in.

Thank God I'm still young.

Boy, if I was young now

with all the opportunities lying around.

Mom, can you pass the salt?

You know, I hate to put all this salt in your good food.

You're young, it won't kill you till you get to my age.

Oh ma.

Where's Eddie?

He's going to see about a job.

How exciting?

Maybe he'll get it this time.

When is that boy gonna learn?

Thousands perform in the stage union

hardly any other than work and study.

He'll get something, he's good.

It doesn't matter if he's good as who you know.

Tell him to quit, Marty.

You know that lady I've been messing with, Margo?

You mean that old lady

with the three grand kids your age?

Man, not my age.

Now, quit joking around all the time, man.

She knows Joshua Wild.

Joshua Wild?

The Joshua Wild.

The director.

She is a good friend of his,

and she's gotten me an audition.

I've gotten the perfect piece, man.

I know it's gonna blow him away.

I mean, I'd give my right arm to work with Joshua Wild.

Yeah, maybe at least one of us can get some work

this winter.

Yeah, man.

I'll be able to get out of parent's place.

I feel good about this.

Do you know what gets me nervous

A long winter coming on and there's no work.

A lot of these shows are closing down.

Yeah.

It's like another long cold winter.

I guess, I have to work at Macy's.

Don't remind me.

Thank God for Macy's.

Now, why couldn't Eddie become a doctor?

That's a living.

Everyone's different Daddy.

You gotta give Eddie a chance.

He has to do what he loves.

Hi.

Eddie, supper is ready.

It's your favorite.

Did you have to add a lot of salt?

We love your cooking.

So?

So, what?

So what!

What?

So did you get the job?

No, I wasn't the type.

But they liked me.

They told me to keep in touch.

That's good.

Soon you'll be on Broadway.

Yes, with my name in lights and they'll say,

"Well, there goes Eddie, the great actor."

And I'll have to run away from crowds.

Yeah, yeah, take your time,

your food's getting cold.

Well, what a business, just dreams.

I wish I could dream, but real men face life and fight it.

You don't face life,

you run off in dreams to get away from it.

Look, I've been facing life all day.

My dreams, they keep me going, they pick me up.

To what?

Paul, stop.

Acting, why don't you give up.

Get out of the business and learn a trade or something.

Wake up.

I have a profession..

A starving one, acting.

Well, don't worry, I'll be a star next year.

I'm sure of it 'cause then you can get me that mink coat.

Yes, I can get you 100 minks.

And my diamonds?

Yes.

And jewelry?

Yes.

A car.

Yes.

And maybe even a house.

Dreamer, dreamer, wake up.

I'm wide awake and I'm going straight up.

Yeah, to clean the 50th story toilet

of the Empire State Building.

Daddy!

I'm just trying to...

Look, I wanna do this.

I like it.

And the people, they say I'm going to be a great actor.

You're 27 years old.

If you haven't gotten by now,

you're never going to do it.

Now, let's stop arguing and eat.

Just leave him alone, daddy.

I'm just trying to wake him up.

Oh shut up.

Let him study.

Study!

I was working 16 and working at B. Altmans.

And what has that got you, huh?

Where are you?

That's the thanks I get for supporting you?

You see.

Bring them up and they spit in your eye.

I'll tell you what I've got,

I've got clothes on my back,

food on the table, a roof over my head.

And a pot to piss in.

- That's what I have. - Stop it.

- What do you have? - Both of you, stop it.

Stop it, where are you going?

Out.

Where?

Just out.

You didn't finish eating.

I'm not hungry.

He doesn't make a dime, but he goes out.

Rockerfeller without a dime.

I'm rich in heart, and that's enough.

Eddie, wait.

Wait, Eddie.

You know how daddy is.

Yeah come back and eat some more of my money.

Stay, eat.

Phil is coming.

Don't let him bother you.

Don't let him take you apart.

Stupid, stupid boy.

Yeah, I'll see you later.

Eddie.

Leave him alone.

Leave him alone.

That's the trouble.

When I go, what will he do?

He'll get a job, like everyone else.

Where?

He's got to make money now.

Daddy, wouldn't it be funny if he does becomes a star?

Yes, very funny.

Daddy, leave him alone.

He really cares for you.

Just please just stop it.

We'll be back in 10.

A few drinks.

And you know, we could go out some times

'cause I would love, no, no, no,

love to get to know you better, you know what I mean?

You gotta check with my boyfriend, he's the bartender.

Sorry.

You're crazy.

You're gonna get us killed.

That was close.

I just don't know, man.

I can't go back home anymore.

I can't take it, like I'm gonna crack up, man,

I can't make it.

I get depressed and I can't do things anymore.

That's just family dynamics.

You'll be alright.

Everybody got issues.

All I want is to have passion in my life.

And I deserve to be happy.

Look, there are people that have a passion for something.

And they do.

I mean, it's not their profession but they enjoy it.

And maybe it's dance, act, poetry, but...

Come on, what the hell?

They're dancers, they take my class.

Look, or they go back to take mathematics as a kid,

but they grow up and they take classes.

Play the flute, do something.

Hey.

You taught a great class the other day.

And I just wanted to thank you

for considering me to dance in your new Broadway show.

Oh that's no problem.

You'll be great.

Thanks.

Yeah.

Thanks.

What!

You are so full of it.

You couldn't even get an agent.

I'm playing the game.

Look, all I need is that desire to keep me alive

If I make it, then great.

But if I don't make it, then that's okay too.

We just wanted to say, hope you guys have a good night.

Hey, hey, all right.

Yeah, of course.

All right, darling,.

- Bye. - Bye.

Thanks.

Look, I'm determined to make it, man.

I work hard and I study.

Look, I don't wanna be famous, man.

I'm just determined to keep acting.

Oh, would you think positive and keep working your craft.

You know I go to Philly and Trenton

two days a week to teach.

And if you wanna use my apartment, you can.

Man, I don't need your place.

Margo, has her own apartment.

No, you're not like your father.

Forget about him.

You're you.

Look, you do the best in life and that's all you can do.

So cool it, go back home, forget about it,

and tomorrow is a new day.

Where are you going?

I just told you to go back home.

I'm going up there, on the third floor.

Is that why we came to this bar?

Was that Joshua Wild's chick?

Yeah, the Joshua Wild's chick.

But then why are you going?

Have you met my parents?

Anything's better, even a night with her.

You trying to put me off?

Come on.

All right, look, she's a great-looking chick, all right?

Yeah, see you.

All right, wait, wait, wait, listen.

It's Phil, I'll get it.

Hello people.

Hello Phil.

I hope you're not gonna be late.

Ah, don't worry.

The show starts at eight.

Oh, good, I'll go upstairs and change.

Excuse me, honey.

I'll be right back down.

Don't scare him away, daddy.

She'll be with you in a minute

- Nice to see you, Phil. - Good to see you.

Would you like something to eat?

Oh, no thank you, I just ate.

How about a cup coffee?

A cup of coffee, I'll take that.

I can't wait until you marry Jenny.

I'll have a doctor in the family.

A son to talk about.

You have a fine boy.

He's nice, but he's stupid.

Lives in ideals, in dreams.

He's young.

He'll be all right.

I don't know.

He tries to get work, but never does.

His day will come.

I hope so.

They think I don't care, but I do,

that's why I try to make him understand.

Well, it's a bad field.

Could you get a job, Phil?

Any job?

I'll ask around.

Good boy.

I'm glad I have you almost in the family.

Ready.

Isn't she beautiful?

The best looking girl in town.

Daddy stop, you're embarrassing me.

You're ready?

Good night.

Have a good time.

You know, I wish you wouldn't talk to Eddie

while he's eating.

It's the only one time I get a chance to see him.

I have to make him understand life.

Like we understand each other.

We were a different story.

We weren't meant for one another, we made a mistake.

I don't know, Paul.

I think if we gave it a chance, we could be happy.

I'm too old.

No, you're only 63.

I'm 63 with hardly anything in the bank and a bum leg,

and a two bit job.

I'm just waiting to go, then you'll all be happy.

Oh, shut up.

Die, if you want to.

Go ahead and die.

See if I care.

It doesn't have to be so bad.

We could be together.

Marty, would you leave me alone, you're driving me crazy.

Oh, do I disgust you?

Do I make you sick when I touch you, huh?.

You sleep on the other side of the bed.

Why don't you come to my side of the bed.

Marty, goddam, will you stop it.

What's the matter?

You don't like my smell?

You're talking crazy, Marty.

- Why don't you touch me? - Why, why, will you stop?

You don't like being with me.

You hurt me.

You hurt me.

I can cook for you.

I can clean for you.

I could take care of your children.

I could take care of your household,

but I'm not good enough for your love.

Marty, goddamn it, stop.

What about your mistress?

What mistress?

You're crazy.

Your mistress.

Your mistress.

Three people on the block told me

they saw you prancing around.

You don't even try to hide it.

You make our marriage and our family look like crap

in the street.

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

Don't you lie to me, Paul.

Don't you dare lie to me.

I gave you a life.

You know something?

Maybe I will get me somebody.

Somebody who will appreciate me.

Someone who will love me.

Someone who wants to touch me.

Somebody who wants me.

What a life.

What a lousy life.

Listen.

Listen, a friend of mine has given me,

oh, you know Nancy.

Nancy from my dance class.

Anyway, she's this big deal patron on the arts,

and she's given this fund raiser

for this major dance company coming in town.

Now, she's inviting a lot of big deal directors, producers

and heavy weight money people, millionaires.

Now, she invited me to come with a friend.

Now, it's not for now, it will be in a little while.

Look man, I think I'm through with those kind of parties.

This is high class.

I'm talking suits and tie, formal, wild blast.

You're crazy, all right?

Crazy ladies, wild.

Okay, gimme a ring.

Wild.

Okay, men.

See yah.

Would you keep it down?

You're gonna wake up everybody in the building.

Don't hurt yourself up there.

I love you grandma.

Oh, good, good, good, grandma.

Hey, don't you hurt grandma.

- Hey. - Hey, you're in my class.

You're going my way?

Yeah, absolutely.

Thank you God.

So you wanna tell me

you should be a soloist.

You going to be a big star.

You're late.

Why didn't you call, I wouldn't have cooked.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

I'll heat it.

I don't want anything.

I don't have an appetite.

You've been working all day,

I'll fix you something to eat.

I don't want it.

You need to eat.

I said I don't want anything.

You gotta have something to eat.

I don't want anything, I don't have an appetite.

Would you listen to me?

I said I don't want, put it down.

I have to talk to you, Marty.

What?

Is anybody here?

Why?

Is anybody here?

No.

Jenny's gone to a movie,

and Eddie, well he hasn't been here for a long time.

That damn kid, he doesn't even call us anymore.

Oh, that's your fault.

You shouldn't fight with him all the time.

What do you expect from him?

Maybe if you stop arguing with him,

why don't you take some time out

and talk to your son for a change.

I just lost my job.

I was fired.

Marty, I just got fired.

What?

Fired, don't you understand, fired.

But you've been with them for so long, you're a good man.

Sure I am.

And one year more and I would have had a pension.

Son of a bitches, they brought a new group in,

and everything's changing.

Young people who push to get to the top,

and they don't care who they're pushing.

But you know so much.

Well, tell that to the boss.

Why?

It's happening.

They're pushing everyone out of work.

Charlie Smith, Jim Santos,

and Sanders were forced to quit too.

Things are changing, and they're leaving us behind.

It's not just the young, it's this new technology crap.

They put a chip in and 50 people get put out of work.

Hello.

Damn!

Hello.

Good movie?

It was great.

We laughed from beginning to the end.

We had a ball.

You gotta go see it, I'll take you.

Yeah, that's nice.

What's wrong?

Your father lost his job today.

No!

Yes.

Daddy, I'm sorry.

It was coming.

I knew it would happen someday.

I guess today was the day.

Automation hit.

Some machine with no head took his job.

So what do we do in the meantime?

Get unemployment.

They'll ask me, "How long did you work?"

I'll say, "41 years."

I'm 63 years old now, who's gonna hire me?

You tell me who?

I'm going to bed.

Good night mom.

Maybe Eddie will can help.

Leave him alone.

Where is he?

He's gone.

Dad, be good to Eddie.

Stop putting him down.

I'm afraid that we can lose him.

He looks very confused and depressed.

Why don't you treat him like you treat me?

You treat me so good.

You are good.

I'll do it for you.

Eddie's gonna help.

Yeah.

Great Eddie.

This is what's happening. One of the actors is helping me in a new project.

Well, he maybe out for a month or maybe even permanently, and if he is,

I want you to take his place.

Glad to do it.

I'm not sure how long it will be,

I'll have to call and let you know about that, all right?

I'll call you.

Bump it out.

Thank you.

I'll call you.

I'm married now, I have an ex-wife.

What was her name again?

Oh, that's right, Plaintiff.

I'm trying to quit smoking.

Yeah, me and my wife we have a deal.

I only smoke after sex.

I still have the same pack since 1978.

The problem is my wife is up to 3 packs a day.

That's my time.

This is The Stand In.

My name is Bill Dinkerman.

I'll be here all week.

Yeah, what.

That's good.

I had a great meeting today with the new agent today. It looks good.

Great, man.

You're on your way.

What are you doing here?

I switched jobs and broke up with my boyfriend

because he was too jealous of all of my customers.

Nobody wanted to order drinks from me.

I wasn't making any money.

Guys were scared to talk to me

because they thought that he was gonna try to kill them.

You think?

So, now I'm looking for someone less violent.

Okay, I'll see you later, okay?

Oh man, I've been seeing Margo for three months now.

And she really has a great sense of humor.

She is a little older than me.

But she's good and she's kind

and she gives me encouragement.

- That's good. - Oh, come on.

Hey, have a good time, all right?

Is she good in bed?

Yeah, she's great in bed.

Well, you must be tired after four months.

Oh listen man, why are you always joking around all the time?

Hey, you want me to jump in and try her?

You sure you don't want me to try her out?

- I don't need you to try her out, I'm good, man. - I can be your critic.

I don't need no critic, man.

No, you are a real pig.

You guys really talk strange about women.

I'm sorry Jenny, but since you're already taken,

I don't have to be nice.

Okay, thank you.

Listen, since I'm moving out, I'm moving in with her.

We're thinking about getting a bigger apartment.

Don't get more serious.

Don't stay with her, not now.

Why not?

Dad just lost his job.

Dad lost his job?

Oh, what great timing.

I mean, come on man.

Wait, you don't get too tight with her,

this girl is gonna be on you like nothing.

I can't go back anymore, I'm gonna crack up.

And I can't do that.

Look I get depressed and I can't do that anymore.

I'm going to tell Mom that I'm leaving for good.

No, that's gonna break her heart.

You don't wanna do that, trust me.

Once you move in, she's gonna have control over you,

telling you what to do.

It's like, put the toilet seat down,

put the toilet seat up.

I've been there, I've done that, no.

Well, I gotta do it.

No, you don't gotta do anything, Eddie.

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of.

What is wrong with you?

Well, you never had the things happen to you

that's been happening to me in the house.

He loves you.

But he's like real torture to me.

I can't take it anymore.

Eddie, he just lost his job, they need you.

Don't get more serious.

They need me?

Dad is always with that damn bottle,

and that damn crap he has about himself

and we gotta live with him not liking anything.

Dad, when he drinks, he used to hit me and Mom.

I tried to stop him but he would hit her

over and over again.

I was only seven years old.

Could you imagine the fright I felt?

I used to hide in the closet

so that he wouldn't hit me and mom.

I used to shake and tremble.

And now you want me to help him.

Okay, I tried for so long to please him

but it's never enough.

I can't stand him.

I can't be around him.

I'm sorry if he's lost his job.

It's just too much.

Eddie, I know what you went through, I was there.

When you were around, he was nicer.

I know, that was the past.

What about mom?

All that abuse.

She's alone now.

It's just not the right time, Eddie.

We need you now more than ever.

I need you.

You can't leave now.

You can't be that way.

You have to help us.

You can't treat your family this way.

You need to stop with that woman and get home.

The time is wrong.

Look, it's my...

Look, it's my business.

I'm a grown up now, I'm not a kid.

You're selfish.

Yeah.

Look, I'm gonna go home, pack my stuff and leave.

I'll live my life the same way that you lived yours.

And be with whom I wanna be with.

Okay, okay, look, let's just go.

Come on.

It's time to be happy again.

Johnny, here's my number.

Call me.

Okay.

Oh, you finally came home to see us.

Where have you been?

You've been gone so long

your father's been worried about you.

Yeah, I bet.

Oh, stop it.

He loves you, he wants to help you.

Help me, that's a joke.

Did you have anything to eat?

Do you want something to eat?

No, I'm not hungry

We ate.

I have all this extra food.

Well, where were you?

How's your new life?

Does it matter?

Yes it does.

Oh, Eddie, you're still with that woman.

Stay away from her, she's bad.

No, she isn't.

She's kind and she understands me.

She's much older than you.

She's gone out with all types of men.

She's mixed up.

That makes two of us.

See, I told you, I'm not alone.

Of course not.

Everyone's like you.

Everyone takes time to get started.

In your business, you'll wait a little bit longer.

But that's no reason

you have to make that woman disease you.

So?

I'm careful.

I protect myself.

I mean, I'm not romancing every one,

I'm loving every one.

Oh, filthy thing, thick.

You're thick as mud, you'll never learn.

Thick, thick.

So I'm beyond helping.

I'm past helping, I told you that.

No, no one is.

You know, Phil called your father today.

He has a job for you.

I didn't ask for one.

I know, your father did.

Listen, it's a good paying job in a hospital.

Maybe you'll like it and become a doctor.

Look mom, I know what I wanna do.

I wanna become an actor and I'm good.

Remember that show I did off-Broadway?

So you're good.

But look at all the good ones.

Thousands, and only one job.

Take the job in the hospital, Eddie.

Make some money.

Enjoy life.

Don't waste your youth away.

Get a girl your own age, be happy.

I am happy.

Life is too short, live it.

Damn it, cut it out.

For my sake, Eddie sit down.

Eddie sit down, Eddie sit down, I wanna talk to you.

I wanna tell you something.

But you're not to tell a soul.

Your father loved his first wife.

After having Jenny, she died from the birth.

I knew your father since he was a boy, and I loved him.

Your father likes me, Eddie, but he doesn't love me.

What are you talking about?

He loves you.

Listen, so years have gone by, and you were born.

A son, he always wanted a son.

He has a funny way of showing it.

Oh, stop it.

I thought now he would love me, I gave him a son,

but inside him, without knowing it himself,

he would hurt you, to get to me.

See, it's anything, I produce, that's bad.

He loves you, it's me.

Then if you feel that way about him, why don't you leave him?

After 27 years?

We're old, where will we go?

No, we need each other now.

Take the job, Eddie.

Let him be proud of you, he loves you.

For me, let him love me.

Look, you want me to give up my life.

You want me to give up everything.

You want me to do this, you want me to do that.

I can't, I can't.

I have a show.

Besides, I just came to pick up a few things.

You have to do this for us.

We need the money.

Do it for me, he is not working anymore, he's gotten older.

Even for a little while.

What do you mean for a little while?

If you get a job, then you can change.

But right now, we need the money.

Do it for your family.

Do it for your father.

We need the money for the house.

It's hard for us.

We didn't pay the taxes on the house last quarter,

we gotta do it for this quarter,

we're gonna lose the house.

And if I don't pay my half the rent to Margo I'll lose,

our relationship will be over, she'll throw me out.

You gotta give her money?

I don't have to give her money,

I just don't wanna feel obligated.

Get rid of her, she's using you.

You're using me, everyone's using me, everyone needs me.

She's destroying you.

The taxes, we can lose the house.

Don't I mean more to you than Margo?

You're giving her half your money when we're broke

and we could lose the house.

She's too old for you.

She's too old, and she's taking your money and your youth.

The taxes.

We're gonna lose the house,

we're gonna lose the everything, oh God.

We're gonna lose the house,

we're gonna lose the everything, oh God, help us.

All right!

You tell him I'll take it.

You tell him I'll take the job.

But I don't wanna hear anything of it.

I don't wanna hear about this anymore.

Okay, Eddie.

Thank you Eddie.

I love you, Eddie.

Thank you.

I love you, Eddie.

Good night girls.

Good night.

I think you were great.

You're definitely doing well.

I bet we can put you in the show in Ohio.

Just stay by the phone.

Get out of here.

He's a good kid.

All right.

You look good.

Now you gotta watch yourself.

You gotta be real cool here.

And make sure your tie is right.

This is high class.

Let's dance.

Let's welcome our host, Nancy.

Hi, thank you.

Thank you, thank you.

Have a great time.

There's food and wine.

Have a good time, enjoy yourselves.

Be generous.

Have a good time.

How did I do?

Great, good job

I'll see you later.

Yes, yes.

You see the good looking girls over there?

Nurses.

How do you know them all?

Yeah, I teach them some kind of exercise class.

An exercise class is at the hospital.

I move their body parts around.

All around.

I'll see you later.

What am I gonna do?

Mingle, buddy.

My name is Eddie.

Mine's Lilly.

Pleasure to meet you.

So, are you here by yourself or are you here with someone?

No, not yet.

Are you here with someone?

Yeah, I'm here with my friend, Johnny,

he teaches exercises down at the hospital.

I know Johnny.

So, would you like to dance?

I guess so.

So, what do you do?

I go to college, and you?

Well, I work in a hospital.

Oh, excuse me.

What college do you go to?

Colombia.

You know he's a friend of Johnny's?

Yes, I know.

Thank you.

Okay.

What was that about?

She's just looking out for me.

Johnny has quite a reputation.

He's a great guy.

So, what do you study?

Psychology.

Oh, so you can sit me in a chair and analyze me?

Not till I graduate.

Okay, before the next dance,

get your cheque books out,

because we're auctioning off of French Impressionists

and other works of art.

So, let's support the company.

I should go.

Wait, wait, wait, are you French?

No.

Well, you look French.

Yeah.

It's just something about you that's very refreshing.

Yeah?

Yeah.

I mean, maybe it's those great, exotic eyes.

I think I heard that line in a movie before

about those great exotic eyes.

This is my first party.

I should go.

Well, your first, huh?

Well, this is my first too, I've never been here before.

Well, that was nice.

Thank you for the dance.

You're welcome but where are you going?

Okay, thank you so much for your donations.

Come on, let's dance.

Okay.

Let's get some fresh air.

Okay.

Nancy.

Nancy.

Nancy.

What are you calling Nancy for? That's my wife.

She's your wife?

Yeah.

Oh, well, let's go look for her then.

Nancy.

Nancy.

Nancy.

I hope you're not in the flowers again?

God you're killing me.

What do you do at the hospital?

Well, look at those stars.

Take a look at the moon.

Yeah, I do everything except for operate.

Do you go to school?

No, no, I don't.

Do you wanna be a doctor?

No.

I'm an actor.

Always have been and always will be.

Actor, that must be exciting.

Yeah, I guess so.

I sing.

I love to sing.

Ah, singer.

Nothing professional.

Well then you must be good.

I envy you doing what you love.

I wish I could just do it like you.

So do it.

Not in my family.

That's why I'm going to Columbia.

I must be a psychologist.

Where do you work as an actor?

Broadway, movies, television.

All right, so if you look at your house on Fifth Avenue,

you go all the way down to the end of the park

and make a right.

Then you go all the way down till you hit Broadway,

once you're on Broadway,

you go all the way down, make a left.

You go all the way down,

and when you see all the lights in the theaters,

that's where I work.

Yeah, I see that.

What have you been in?

Maybe I've seen you in something.

I don't think so.

I've been having a bit of a bad streak,

that's why I'm working in the hospital,

to make some extra money.

Well, I should go back in.

Where are you going?

Well, if you leave now, who knows if I'll see you again?

Of course you will, it's New York, it's a small city.

Well, just tell me when and where, and I'm there.

I don't know.

Come on.

Look, I'm really a nice guy.

And a fresh one too.

Yeah, I know.

So, what do you say if we go back inside

and have one more dance.

Okay, one more dance.

One more.

Johnny, I can't take it anymore.

I have to have you, I can't wait for the class tomorrow.

I think we have to do it now.

What's that?

I learned it in your dance class.

And I'm gonna use it now.

No, no, no.

Not now, we can't do this now.

I need you now, I want it now.

But your husband is here.

The whole party is here.

We can't do this.

Oh, but don't worry about anything.

There's nothing to worry about.

Nancy, Nancy.

That's your husband.

I can't do this.

I can't do this now.

I'll see you later.

No, stay there.

Nancy, where are you?

Stay here for a while.

Stay here for a while.

And I will be right back, all right?

Yeah, I will be right back.

Nancy.

Where are you?

Nancy.

- We gotta go. - I'm dancing.

Can I get your number, what is it?

I'll call the hospital and leave it.

All right, listen, I'm sorry,

somebody got sick or something.

We gotta go, okay?

- All right. - It's okay.

Nancy.

Nancy.

Nancy, anybody seen Nancy?

Nancy, Nancy.

Nancy, where are you?

Okay, that was great.

Finally, we get to work together.

Yes!

I told you someday we will work together.

You have the job, you're playing a great part.

Oh, great, thank you.

It's 10 weeks in Ohio.

It's a new show, so we're gonna take it on tour after Ohio.

We hope it happens, but we don't know yet.

Can you do it?

Yes, yes, I'd love to finally work with you.

Likewise.

We'll have fun together.

It will be a great show.

I've seen pictures.

It looks like a beautiful theater.

Yeah it is.

I know my family's owned it forever.

We've had plays here for the past 20 years.

Looks terrific.

It is, thanks.

I'm glad you're part of the family now.

Thank you.

See you.

My assistant will tell you all about the contract signing

and the itinerary.

All right, I won't let you down.

I will do a great job for you.

I know you will.

Bye.

You good natured boy.

I'm sorry I treated you like that the other day.

It's why I brought you here today.

I like you and I'd like for us to be friends.

Well, I like you.

And I have fun with you.

I don't see a different person.

I just see Lilly.

Good.

And this is the mansion where the party was a few weeks ago.

What are we doing here?

You see, my grandfather and my great grandfather,

they're industrialists.

Well, they'll probably throw us in jail.

Yes, maybe.

Well, this is my home.

This is were I live.

Okay, you were the hostess of the party?

This is your house?

That was your party?

Yes.

Look, I'm sorry.

Why didn't you throw us out? I was rude to you.

It's okay, you treated me different.

I don't want you to treat me any differently.

It's a mansion.

No, no, no, it's a castle.

And you're a princess.

Thank you.

I don't want you to treat me differently.

I'm an actor.

I play different roles.

And right now, I'm in like a Scott Fitzgerald novel.

I understand.

Well, I think so.

Wow!

Every time I see a play, I wish I was in it.

You will, you're real good.

I can tell, you'll make it.

Lilly, I lied to you.

When?

You won't think anything less of me, would you?

Not if you tell me.

Is it about your girlfriend or my boyfriend

that I told you about?

About the plays, and the movies, it's not true.

I can't even get an agent.

You will.

The closest I've ever been to Broadway is Off-Broadway.

Well, some people say, Off-Broadway

is better than Broadway,

and if you appeared Off-Broadway, then I know it's better.

You're a good kid.

I always wanted to do this.

What?

Like this.

I've always wanted to run around the fountain,

like Fred and Ginger.

I wish I was a good dancer but I'm not that good.

We were doing just fine.

Do you love me?

I don't know.

We just met two weeks ago.

You don't have to know somebody long.

All it takes is a look

and a heart.

Yeah?

I knew I saw that movie before.

You're gonna like this.

Lots of sex.

You're staying up late now watching movies.

What happened to us, Paul?

What's wrong with me?

Tell me, I'll change.

You can't change.

I need you Paul.

Cut it out, Marty.

Well about time, look who's here.

Where the hell were you?

I went out on for an audition, and I went out,

out with a girl.

Where does she live, California?

Fifth Avenue.

You know the girl that I have been seeing for two months.

Rich girl?

Her father's the head of the hospital.

Good, I approve.

You need a rich girl, you'll never be anything.

Oh, leave him alone.

Live with her parents?

Yeah, listen, she's just a friend.

Yes, how old is she?

21, she'll be 22 soon.

So he finally made it to catch the late show.

Do you want something to eat?

No, I had something while I was out.

I'm going to go to bed.

Good night.

Good night.

I took it from an old woman.

You stole it?

You know he's a terrific actor.

Everyone's terrific, except you.

Yeah, but I'm still young.

Well how old do you have to be?

Come on, dad, stop.

I'm working now.

Did you find work?

No, was out all day, nothing.

I guess people have no use of a guy with a bum leg.

How about yesterday?

Keep on trying.

What about the day before yesterday?

Didn't they like you?

I mean, you're such a great guy.

I'm too old.

But you, you're just a dreamer.

You know, I'm out all day

pounding the pavement, auditioning.

And you're coming down on me

like I'm a worthless piece of garbage.

Now you know how I feel.

Now how would you like it, if after being out all day,

knocking around, I told you to give up?

How do you like how it feels?

Shut up.

Listen dad, I'm gonna quit my job.

What!

I have to act, take classes, go on auditions again.

I have to act.

But you're making money now, you can't quit.

I know that, but if you had work, I could.

I have enough money for myself to live on now.

I'm not working.

You can have my job.

You'll like it.

It's easy work, you're getting older.

It's light work.

Your work is too heavy.

You're crazy.

I'm gonna quit anyway.

- It's not your job to give. - Yes it is.

I talked to Dr. Lloyd, he's the head of the hospital.

He says, it's alright.

It's not what I made before, it's much less.

It's not as much as you made before,

but the house is all paid for.

You don't have any bills.

Jenny will be get married soon.

It's just you and mom.

I have enough money saved for myself.

It's just you and mom, it'll be more than enough.

- I don't know. - I'm gonna quit anyway.

Come on dad.

You and your acting.

But I'm gonna quit anyway.

I don't care, I'm gonna live my life.

I'm gonna do what matters to me.

I'm gonna have a life that means something.

And I'm gonna have someone who I love.

I'm not gonna be cheating

like the mistress you have on the block.

Stop it.

Stop it, stop it.

Stop.

I'm not seven years old anymore.

You can't hit me any more.

You were supposed to be my hero, but no more.

And if you put your hands on mom again,

I swear I'll put you down.

Okay, I'll take it.

I love you dad.

Damn kid.

This is a cute room.

This is what an apartment looks like.

Yeah.

I guess this is like a little room in your house.

Is this your apartment?

No, it's my friend, Johnny's place.

He lets me stay here when he's out of town.

Is this where you used to bring your girlfriend?

You mean Margo.

She's just a friend.

Did you love her?

She's just a friend.

What about your boyfriend, Frank Wright?

He's boring not much fun.

It's nicer with you.

You know, I've been seeing you now for 3 months.

And I really love spending time with you.

No need to be jealous, you're way ahead.

I love spending time with you.

And I'll try not to be jealous.

I got great news.

I got a job!

That's terrific.

Oh, man, it's gonna be 10 weeks worth of stock.

I mean, we're gonna be doing all kinds of shows.

I mean, it's great experience, I really hope I can...

I'm gonna miss you.

I'm gonna miss you too.

So soon?

It's only ten weeks worth of stock.

And then I'll be back.

I'll be waiting.

I love this time of day.

The sun is down

and the darkness sets in.

It's a time of day where we can think of privacy.

Nobody from out there to bother us.

Out there, early evenings are like the start of a new day.

It's the world saying,

now we can think, have privacy.

The day's hurting is done.

We can rest and live.

And love.

I love you so.

You're 2 1/2 months.

Feeling any better?

The same, a little nauseous.

Well, how do you like Brooklyn?

It's okay.

My father doesn't want anyone

to see his precious daughter pregnant.

He loves you.

Yeah, he loves me.

You know, we all missed your mother

and God gave me the gift for me to take care of you.

You became my child and I just want the best for you

'cause I love you.

Very few people could live the way you can.

Go out with someone with intelligence like Frank Wright.

Now, he'll become something.

You're too young to know what love is.

You don't know what life is.

Can't you see it?

You both will lose.

Hey, thank you.

Thank you, next.

Oh, wow, hey, you're back, huh?

What a crazy audition.

This director, she is out of her mind.

Yeah.

You been gone a long time.

Three months, that's a long time.

You've been back for good?

Yeah.

Hey, you ever been to any more of those parties?

Yeah, but only the wild ones.

Remember that Fifth Avenue party we went to?

Did you ever go back there?

No, I can't go back there.

Shit, not after that night.

But you remember the girl?

The cutie who you were talking to at the party?

Yeah, have you seen her?

Have I seen a girl you've been going with?

No.

Why don't you give her a ring?

Yeah, I have but I can't reach her, I get no answer.

Yeah, well, she's probably going out with somebody else.

Yeah, can't trust them.

Thank you, Eddie.

Good luck, man.

You're still going out with Margo?

'Cause you know I met her and she wanted to go out

but I wanted to ask you first.

I finished with her long time ago.

Man, it's cool, cool.

All right, have fun.

Good luck, man.

You could put that book down.

I got this one for you because we're getting close.

We're almost there and you better read it.

There you go.

Thank you, Anna.

Oh, anytime.

I'm scared, Anna.

There's nothing to be scared of.

It's a natural thing.

And don't worry, Anna is here.

Thank you, Anna, for everything.

Anytime, I mean, okay, just this once.

Don't want to give you any ideas to try this again.

To be young and foolish.

When you're in love, you're always young and foolish.

To be young and foolish.

All the fun that I could still have.

Anna, I didn't know you're a wild woman.

Well, I can't have dreams?

I guess so.

Anna, I'm still in love.

You still like him?

I love him.

What I'm I gonna do?

Don't ask me.

What would you do?

I don't know.

Ask your father, he knows.

I have to forget, I have to move on.

He's not for me.

Well, call me if you need me.

See you later.

Bye.

Bye.

Hello, Eddie.

Come in.

Lilly, man, it feels good to be home.

I've waited a long time to see you.

Is it mine?

Of course.

Well, why didn't you tell me?

I would have told you what to do.

We'll get married, we'll be happy.

Yeah, I'll quit acting and get a job.

Is that what you want?

No, I want you.

Yeah?

Why is acting, or any other job important?

You and me being together, us building a life.

It's all that we need.

But I do, I love my work.

I grow each and everyday as a person.

But I wouldn't expect you to understand.

I can't get a regular job.

So try and stay acting.

Maybe you can make money.

Look Eddie, you may not be as good as you think you are,

but I don't care.

Well, who knows if the baby's mine.

I mean, I've been gone a long time.

My father was right.

He said, he'd be the only one who cared for me,

who I can trust, he was so right.

Look, I'm sorry.

No.

I love you.

We'll have a baby.

We'll get married.

I'll quit acting and get a job.

No.

You don't love me.

We don't know what love is.

We're just two kids without anything in life.

Before, I thought you and me being together,

building our life together was all we need.

I was wrong.

You don't want me, you don't know what you want.

Cut it out, we'll get married.

We'll wind up wrong.

Stop.

No.

What will you do?

It's all arranged.

When the baby is born, I'm not to see it.

It goes for adoption.

And when I'm rid of it, I'll start a new, with new people.

Maybe I'll marry Frank Wright.

He's rich, he's in our class.

But who knows?

Lilly, what happened to you?

You should know, you caused this.

We've had our fun, now it's finished.

Look, I'll never let you go.

Stop, no.

Look, I love you, you're mine.

Stop, talk to me.

No, no, you ruined your life.

Who's this?

Anna, this is Eddie.

Get out!

Lilly.

- Goodbye. - Haven't you caused

enough trouble , get out!

And if you come back again, I'll call the cops.

Good-bye, leave me alone!

I hate you, I hate you.

Just let him go.

Oh, Eddie.

I can't live without you.

I think about you.

I'm going crazy.

We'll have the baby.

I can't live with myself knowing you'll give the baby away.

I can't live without you.

I love you.

I miss you.

I love you, I miss you.

Well, tell your father.

Oh, what is happening here?

Oh, I can't take anymore of this.

You will come and live with us in Brooklyn.

We will be together.

Oh my heavens, oh my God.

And I'm in trouble now.

Did I just hear that you're going to come

and live with us in Brooklyn?

Oh, I'm done.

Hi Shakespeare.

I was looking for you.

I thought I'd find you here.

Yeah, this is my private space.

And I could think and be alone.

You know I brought Lilly here.

If I can't bring her here,

I'd take her to the roof of the building.

You could use my apartment instead of this.

We just talked.

You got such a one track mind.

All right, listen, I landed an audition with Joshua Wild.

What!

Yeah.

That's great.

No, no, I had to work for it 'cause Margo got it for me.

Oh, I can tell you had to work.

Looks like you lost some weight.

Yeah, but my best performance

'cause I got you an audition also.

How did you do that?

She hates me for leaving her.

I worked very hard.

So check, so look, look, so I'm like, I like this

and I said.

I said, she said.

You touching me in all the right places.

Be my slave, I said.

You're too rough.

I said, "Oh, I'm sorry."

She said, "But I love it."

I said,.

She said, "Oh, God, oh, God, oh, God.

Okay, you make me so high."

And I said, "You making me boil over."

She said, "Okay, okay, okay, okay,

I'll get Eddie an audition."

Then she pulled me to the bed.

Man, I took a deep breath and I used up all my energy.

I was like, yeah.

And I was like, yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I lost 10 pounds.

I was like, ah.

Wait, wait, hold on.

Then I thought I was going to die.

And then she just gave in.

Ah, you mean it?

Yeah.

She said look, Joshua Wild was your guy.

I like him but you was crazy about him.

Oh man, I needed this.

This can change my life.

Now you know, if you get this show,

Margo said, I'm gonna have to be with her.

I can't leave her or she'll get you fired.

Yoh, I am going to be exhausted if this is a hit.

You know what?

We need Superman.

Better yet, we need God.

God and Superman sent me.

You know what I'm saying?

What!

Are we in trouble?

Did you go to church?

Did you do confession?

Man, with all the bad things that I've been doing,

it didn't take me a week,

the priest gave me a month of confessions

just to be cleared by God.

And between God and Margo,

yoh, I'm really tired, man.

Yeah and I hope her father don't shoot us

before the audition.

'Cause you know fathers.

We get the show then he shoots us.

Man, come on.

No, that would be dramatic

Hey, that would be better than a Broadway show.

Your land!

How can you say that this is your land?

Everybody, show me your hands.

Show me your hands.

These are the hands of the people that built this land.

Okay, thank you.

Next.

I'm not finished.

Ah, next, next.

Can't you see my talent?

Can't you see what I did with that monologue?

Can't you see that I'm good.

I did this show in Ohio and I got great reviews.

This is Broadway, it's not Ohio.

What!

Listen, I guess I don't see your talent today.

Okay, thank you.

Next.

Go to hell!

Get off the stage or I'll call Union.

Crazy bastard.

Next.

Come on, what's wrong?

You never saw a stage before?

Come on down, come on.

Okay, let's see what you could do.

Go.

An angry one.

Angry tap dance.

Go, come on.

Come on, give me the first step.

One more step, give me.

Give me one more step.

Give me one more step, come on.

Give me one more step, I said.

Give me one.

All right, next.

Come on, next.

Ah, come on.

Not bad.

You got guts.

Hey, where are you going?

Come back here, I didn't tell you to go.

Come on down, come on.

Now listen, okay?

This is a Josh Wild show.

You know what that means?

Josh Wild's show make people happy.

The happy shows.

People come, they come home from work, they're tired,

they're depressed, what do they wanna see?

They wanna get happy, they wanna see a Josh Wild show.

If they wanted to see a Greek tragedy,

they'd go to the block.

All right, this is Josh Wild.

So we make 'em happy here.

You here me?

You smile.

Yeah that's it.

Now, give me a time step, come on.

And go.

Lift your knees.

That's it, that's it.

Come on.

Now do everything you did before.

But happy, that's it.

That's it.

Good, good, good.

That's it, come on.

All the way home.

Oh my God.

Yeah, that's good.

Give me something else.

Come on, what kind of shit is that?

Lock it, pop it.

Come on, come on.

That's it, go, come on.

Pop it, pop it, pop it, come on.

Good, give me something else.

Give me something else.

What's that shit?

Come on.

Give me something else.

Give me something else now.

Come, on, come on, that's it.

Move your , come on.

Go, go, go, come on, come on, that's it, that's it.

That's it, that's it, come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

All right, all right, all right, all right.

All right, I gotta stop you before you hurt yourself.

Did you hurt yourself.

No man.

I'm good.

You're tired?

Nope.

'Cause if you said you weren't tired,

I was gonna make you do it again.

No, I'm not tired.

Okay, come over here.

Are you listening?

You got the job.

You got the show

You know what that means?

You're gonna lead in a Josh Wild show.

You hear me?

You think you can handle it.

Yes.

Okay, now listen,

listen, I said, stop crying.

We're gonna work together, we're gonna be friends.

I'm gonna teach you everything

and you're gonna be a star, kid.

I'm gonna make you a star.

Stop crying I said.

I'm not crying.

Easy.

Stop crying, he said, stop crying.

Listen, if you keep crying like that,

I'll have to let you go.

- Okay, I'll do a better job next time. - I thought so.

Okay, listen to Barbara, she'll give you itinerary,

see if you can make it.

Going to rehearsal in four weeks.

Four weeks rehearsal in New York.

Two weeks try out in Boston.

Two weeks in Toronto.

Two weeks in Philly.

Then back to New York.

Rehearsal preview, then we open.

Any conflicts?

No, no conflicts.

Okay, then.

All right, you got it, we'll see you later.

It's just, thank you sir, I really appreciate.

No, no, no, just go, just go, see you later.

All right, thank you.

And listen to me, listen to me,

the next two, four weeks, whatever it is,

don't do anything crazy,

I don't need to dance on crutches, okay?

And I'm going home, I ain't even coming out of the house.

Oh, yeah, I believe that.

All right, I'll see you.

Bye-bye.

Thank you sir.

Thank you.

Thank you, ma'am.

Telephone.

Oh, I got a phone call.

Be right back.

Hold the next.

Hello.

Margo, how are you?

Yes.

Yes.

Yes.

Hey, how did it go?

I don't know, I don't know yet, what?

What's the matter?

Eddie's gone.

I think he's gonna do something bad.

And Eddie, I didn't give him a chance to audition

just like you said.

I wiped him out.

Margo got to Joshua Wild and really wiped Eddie out.

Come on.

I dumped him just like he dumped you.

Nobody dumps my Margo and gets away with it, right?

Okay, great.

Listen, let's have coffee sometime, right?

I'm going to the top.

I'm gonna be powerful.

Me, Eddie, the great actor.

Look at me, me!

I've been working too hard and hoping you're good kid.

I mean remember that show you did Off-Broadway?

You're good, yeah, you're good.

The unknown awaits.

The silent and peaceful night.

Nobody stands beside you.

Except for a starlit sky.

A breeze flows by.

Thanks dad.

People move on or not,

I live in but just,

going on till the doctors closes in.

Till the light of a new day

which awaits for people to hear its cry for love.

You can't take my mind away from all it wants.

To take my heart away from all it wants.

I guess that's just life.

I was built.

You gotta fight for what you want.

But why?

No, Eddie, Eddie.

No, Eddie.

You're doing good.

I lost like a lot of others have.

You didn't lose.

I lost like a lot of others have.

In the past and present, and that will be in the future.

You have me.

Only if the times went with us

instead of against us.

We wouldn't loose faith.

And they're not against us, they're for us.

Well, I lost like a lot of other have.

But as long as life stays the same,

I guess there's very little room

and not much room for one more.

You gotta be strong, you gotta be strong,

there's room for us.

The audition with Joshua Wild,

Margo got to him.

He put you down because he did it for Margo.

He's crazy about Margo.

What!

Yeah.

Don't worry, I wasn't gonna do myself in.

I love life to much.

Joshua Wild is as human.

Well, nobody is God.

We are all human.

And we make mistakes.

Man, we can't be perfect 'cause we make mistakes.

Even if we tried to be perfect, we're only human.

He was like a God to me.

A mentor, I don't know what was going on in my head, man.

Yeah.

Yeah.

If there's an angel, I'll find it.

You'll find it.

And I'll take it.

We'll find it together.

Look, all I wanna do is what I love.

You will do what you love.

You will do what you love and so will I.

Yeah, but I don't know how.

I don't know how, but I got you.

We got you.

I love you.

Look, I'll find it.

Look, I'm gonna leave.

Maybe Hollywood, maybe London,

but I love you and I want you to come with me.

It's gonna be a tough life, it's gonna be a hard life.

You'd probably have a better life somewhere else

but I love you.

I wanna be with you.

Good or bad.

I can't exist without you.

I love you dad.

Goodbye.

Look it's Eddie, he's on TV.

Is there any other person?

I've seen you in movies, TV and in a theater.

You were great.

How come you don't think that you're great?

Thank you.

Look, I'm trying to make things happen.

I'm gonna be on another TV show.

Really, or Maybe?

I'm leaving you.

If I didn't have that passion or that strength,

I would have fallen apart by now.

How about us?

Where is this coming from?

I didn't see this.

We're always alone.

Your acting classes, working TV, movies.

It sounds good but it pays very little money.

It sounds good, but we can't even pay the bills.

You're just waiting for that big role.

It will happen.

Who cares?

Good luck.

You'll be alone.

I have my father and Frank Wright.

He's a single man again

and he has been asking about me.

What the hell is this?

I love you.

It's not working anymore, leave me alone.

Lilly you can't leave me.

Keep your focus and your desire.

And keep your imagination going, you're gonna need it.

I feel in prison.

- Lilly, stop, stop. - You have to let me go.

No, no.

It's always about you.

Get used to it, I won't be here.

I wanted to sing.

I had a passion too.

I wanted to finish my schooling.

I never did anything but your life, not my life.

I'm tired, I'm tired.

Lilly, Lilly, please.

You're pathetic.

You disgust me.

I don't feel great.

What is great?

I just work hard on the roll.

If I didn't, it wouldn't be good.

So I'm not great, I'm just a hard worker.

That's what you guys gotta learn.

Don't worry, I'll teach you, all right.

That's it for today.

Work on your exercises and your scenes

and I'll see you all next week, all right.

Bye.

You're doing a great job.

Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

You're doing good.

You know, this class really kept me going

after my wife divorced me 2 years ago.

My craft kept me going and I thank you for that.

Set up your scenes.

Your phone's ringing.

Hello.

What!

Where?

How?

All right, I'll get a flight.

I'll try and get one tomorrow.

How is mom taking it?

I can't believe it.

Dad's dead?

I just never got a chance to win him over.

Yeah, I'll get there.

Thanks.

Yeah, I'll be alright.

I'm sorry for the interruption.

Let's see your scene.

What a day.

Yeah, but we got through it.

How are you doing, mom?

All right.

Do you know who you're talking to?

Yes!

That's Eddie.

I'm going to bed, Eddie.

Paul's coming back.

He's coming back.

He's not gone, Eddie, he's not gone.

My Paul.

Goodnight, Eddie.

Goodnight, mom.

I love you.

She's getting bad.

I didn't think she knew who I was.

She does, she just goes in and out.

That's how it's been.

But you were out in LA, you had your own problem.

How's Lilly?

Did you see her?

When are you going back?

Maybe tomorrow.

I don't know, I thought maybe she'd show up.

You were telling people at the funeral parlor

that you may not go back.

That you may stay.

When are you leaving?

I thought maybe I'd stay here.

Look, I got nothing left in LA.

Johnny had someone put my stuff in a storage

and he is using my apartment to house his girlfriends.

He's really helped me to make this change.

Plus I'm having a hard time memorizing lines.

I'm not the same anymore.

I thought I'd stay here and take care of mom.

No, no.

It's all been arranged.

Mom is living with us.

Yeah, she's building her room on top of the house.

We have somebody taking care of her.

But I'm willing to do it.

No, you weren't around.

You haven't been here for years.

I couldn't face dad.

But I took care of them for years.

The house is being sold.

Sold?

Yeah.

Contracts are in.

We're doing well.

Wait, you sold the house?

The house is to be sold, Mom is living with us.

Well, where am I gonna live?

But, you can't come back.

You're always just thinking about yourself.

No, I'm always thinking of everybody.

Jenny, come on.

Stay out of it, Phil.

This is not your business.

If Lilly was still with you, you wouldn't even be here.

God, I'm so tired, I have no more energy.

The Doctor said, to take care of myself and no one else.

But then it was Mom, Pop, Phil, the kids.

I like, I love it but I'm tired.

I'm tired, I'm at the end or I'll just die,

is that what you want?

You can take half the money of the house

and get another place.

I can't take care of you too.

Yeah, but I didn't ask you to.

Eddie.

Eddie, I'm tired.

I can't deal with this.

Jenny, Eddie I'm sorry.

Look, I don't know what to do.

Listen, we've been looking into housing.

We found a spot by the beach, by the boardwalk.

I have a friend.

He owns a building.

He has a great apartment.

You'll have your own place.

You'll have your own place on the beach.

It will be great.

And there you can start your whole new life.

Yeah, I don't know.

It's the only way.

Or you can go back to LA,

but you're not gonna ruin my life.

Look, I told you, I got nothing left in LA.

Hey now.

My life is here.

My mom, my kids.

Eddie, you could come back and visit mom.

But you can't stay.

The beach house is a great option.

If you don't like it, leave.

But try it.

But what if I can't make it?

Eddie, I can't take it.

Eddie, accept what I'm saying, or just get out of my life.

Wow, okay now, she didn't mean that.

She didn't mean that.

Eddie, okay?

You don't mean that.

Okay.

I'll try the beach house.

Yeah, it's gonna be okay.

I'll make sure everything is okay.

We always do.

Yeah.

We'll be around.

Listen,

you have to excuse her, you know?

She is under a lot of stress.

But she cares about you.

Yeah, I know.

I came all the way from LA.

Any girls here?

Yeah, but their too old for me.

They maybe all right for you though.

Okay, okay.

I missed you.

Yeah, me too.

You know, I love the ocean.

Yeah, it's great.

The life it shows, the sounds,

from rough to still, not a sound.

The senses, you know?

Still an actor, never changes.

It continuous.

And you're still an actor and a teacher

and a student of life.

Always.

Would you do it again?

In a flash, how about you?

In a heartbeat.

Even if it was the same?

It's like I had a run,

it wasn't the greatest, but I enjoyed it.

The show closed.

You know, I haven't seen Jenny?

I've been in here for two years.

Nobody comes or calls.

And then when I call,

she acts like I just wanna come back into her life.

Now, why would I wanna do that?

So.

I see my mom when she's not around.

The kids don't come or call.

They're young.

They care.

You know, except for you calling

and telling me about your divorces

and all the furniture and paintings you put out,

nobody comes or calls.

Yeah I'm a loser men.

Her father really didn't...

Oh, all right, no, come on now.

You know, when I was married to Lilly,

Frank Wright was all that was mentioned.

I think I was second to a guy

that wasn't even there.

It really turned me off, you know.

Yeah, it happens to me a lot.

But I always follow up with a divorce.

Yeah.

I used to want Lilly back, but now I think I'm over it.

Oh, thank God.

'Cause you were a basket case.

Yeah, like my father.

You can like somebody but you don't have to be with them.

We're all screwed up one way or another.

Well, I guess that just makes life interesting.

Life.

Well, life is a mess, but I love it.

They say, we dream until reality hits.

We dream until reality hits

and shows us what we can accomplish

with obstacles in our life.

When I dream, I could do everything.

And I mean I can fly or have 100 women, one time.

'Cause when I wake up, I can't fly

or hope hope to have just one girl.

It's like, waking up is a bitch.

What?

What did I do?

What did I say?

Oh man, I want more, I feel like I can have one more shot.

I hear you Eddie.

Yeah.

You know, before I wanted to do it

for my father, mom and Lilly.

But now, I just wanna do it for myself.

I have a part.

Listen, now it's a great part, it's in a film,

and you'll bring it back.

Look, man, that's great,

but I'm having a hard time memorizing lines,

I'm out of shape, I'm out of everything.

Come on, I'll put the lines on a grapefruit.

All over the walls, you can do this.

This is not about the lines.

And I'll help you.

Yeah?

You still have a reputation.

Now you've don a lot of good films and theater.

People remember you.

Look, you'll be bigger than ever.

You'll live a good life.

And I'll keep you going and working.

How?

You know.

Come on.

I'm bigger now.

I'm much bigger.

I'm bigger than Joshua Wild ever was.

I have one of the biggest production companies,

you know that.

And I'll keep my friend, a great actor working.

And all the girls and women, I'll get you.

Oh man, listen, I don't need no aggravation.

All right, all right,

I'll put you back in your apartment in LA,

get you out of here.

You're not joking?

If it wasn't for you going out with Margo,

I would have never met Joshua Wild and work with him.

Your wild activities gave me a career.

Now its your time.

Come on.

What's the script about?

All right.

It takes place in New York.

It's about an actor who has a passion for the theater

and a father who puts him down.

Yeah, I know the role, I feel it already.

Now you play the father.

You can live it again.

Yeah, thanks dad.

You're finally giving me my big.

He wanted me to make it.

- He loved you. - In his way.

He loved you.

You had problems.

Yeah, we all do.

Well, I'd like to see it now.

Now, I'm gonna have this big dance number

with lots of girls opening up the show.

We live on the brink.

And it just takes one friend to get you back.

Now, there's one thing you never lose.

What's that?

That's your talent.

Your passion.

And that one friend who's constant like still water.

Yeah.

All right.

So, tell me about this piece of.

Well, all the girls are gonna be 25 years.

My son, early evening's like the start

of a new day.

It's the world saying, now we can think.

Have privacy.

We can live.

The day's hurting is done.

We can rest and live.
