WHAT DO YOU SAY WE GET OURSELVES SOME TURKEY, PARTNER?

[Woman] THEY'RE HERE!

NOW REMEMBER, I WANT YOU KIDS

TO BE ESPECIALLY NICE TO DANNY.

[Girl] WHY SHOULD WE?

BECAUSE I SAY SO, THAT'S WHY.

DON'T TOUCH THAT PIE.

[Boy] I'M HUNGRY!

HUNGRY? YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT HUNGER IS.

YOU WANT TO KNOW ABOUT HUNGER,

YOU TALK TO THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE.

THEY'LL TELL YOU ABOUT HUNGER.

GRACE HAS RUSSIA ON THE BRAIN.

OH, BUT THEY'RE SO...

GRAND!

[Laughing]

NOW, GRACE WAS YOUR MOM'S BEST FRIEND

BACK IN ENGLAND,

AND SHE'S A LITTLE NUTS, BUT SHE'S NICE.

HER HUSBAND

IS A PROFESSOR OF SOMETHING.

THERE'S GOING TO BE A LOT OF KIDS IN THERE FOR YOU TO PLAY WITH, TOO.

AND I DON'T WANT YOU KIDS TEASING DANNY.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?

[Man] WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH HIM?

LIZ'S BOY.SHE DIED LAST YEAR.

HE FOUND HER BODY.

[Woman #2] THAT IS JUST SO AWFUL.

HE'S VERY SHY.

SEE? HE IS A RETARD.

WHAT DID I SAY

ABOUT USING THAT WORD IN THIS HOUSE,

WILLIAM SWAN? WHAT DID I SAY?

YOU GOING TO BE OK, PARTNER?

YEAH, I'M OK.

YOU WANT A BLINDFOLD OR A CIGARETTE OR SOMETHING?

NO.YOU SURE?

MMM-HMM.

OK. RING THE DOORBELL.

[Chimes ring]

HEY, SWEETHEART.

DANNY, WELCOME!

LOOK AT HOW BIG YOU ARE!

YEAH.

OH, AND DON'T YOU LOOK LIKE YOUR MOTHER?

WHEN'S THE FLAG ON THAT BUTTERBALL GONNA POP?

PROFESSOR.DOCTOR.

HOW YOU DOING?CAN'T COMPLAIN.

BILLY, WHY DON'T YOU AND THE KIDS

WATCH SOME FOOTBALL WITH DANNY, HMM?

GIVE HER THE CAKE. THERE YOU GO. THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU, DANNY!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING.

WELCOME.

LET'S GET YOU A DRINK.

[Sportscaster] SO THEY'RE GONNA TAKE THE CHANCE

AND GO FOR IT AT 4TH AND 2.

LOOK FOR THE HAND-OFF TO INGERSON--

YOU MOVED.

KEEP YOUR ARMS STILL!

I MISS LIZ SO MUCH.

I'LL SEE SOMETHING ON THE T.V.,

AND I WANT TO CALL HER AND TELL HER.

YEAH, I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN.

HANK, WOULD YOU MIND?

OH, NO, NOT AT ALL.

I CAN'T IMAGINE HOW DANNY MUST MISS HER.

HOW CAN HE UNDERSTAND A THING LIKE THAT?

WELL, THE SHRINK ON THE BASE

SAYS EVENTUALLY HE'LL COME AROUND.

YEAH, WELL, IF NOTHING ELSE, HE'S RESILIENT.

DID YOU KNOW THAT THE DOMESTIC TURKEY

IS UNABLE TO PROCREATE NATURALLY?

[Woman] I THOUGHT ONLY KONRAD USED THAT EXCUSE.

WE'VE GENETICALLY BRED THESE POOR BIRDS

TO HAVE SUCH LARGE WHITE-MEAT BREASTS,

THAT IT--IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO COPULATE.

[Konrad] ANYTHING FOR WHITE MEAT.

HOW DO TURKEYS DO IT?

TEST TUBES.

THE WAY WE'D DO IT, IF WE WERE SMART.

OH, RICHARD IS SUCH A ROMANTIC.

OH, HANK, I'M SO HAPPY THAT YOU AND DANNY

ARE GOING TO BE CLOSE BY.

WE'RE NOT. I SIGNED ON TO A NATO HOSPITAL

OUTSIDE OF LONDON.

OH, YOU DID?

WELL, YOU KNOW,

LIZ'S FAMILY'S BACK THERE.

I FIGURED THAT'D BE GOOD FOR DANNY.

WELL, WHEN DO YOU LEAVE?

A COUPLE WEEKS.

[Richard] WE'LL EXPECT YOU NEXT YEAR.

[Door closes]

[Plate shatters]

[Footsteps]

HOLD ON. HOLD ON.

LET'S PUT HER ON THE COUCH OVER THERE.

OK.

DON'T PUSH. DON'T PUSH.

[Richard] YOU KIDS GO OUTSIDE AND PLAY!

[Girl] IT'S DARK OUTSIDE.

TAKE A FLASHLIGHT!

OH!

CAN YOU HOLD ON UNTIL THE DOCTOR GETS HERE?

HANK'S A DOCTOR.

WELL, I'D PREFER A SOBER ONE.

UH, THANKS FOR THE VOTE OF CONFIDENCE.

HAVE YOU EVER DONE THIS BEFORE?

[Hank] WELL, WE DON'T DELIVER MANY BABIES AT THE BASE.

[Richard] I THINK WE CAN HANG ON TILL THAT AMBULANCE GETS HERE.

[Grace] I DON'T THINK SO.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "I DON'T THINK SO"?

OK. WHAT SHE MEANS, RICHARD, IS THAT THIS BABY

IS HOT TO BE BORN.

NOTHING WE DO IS GONNA CHANGE THAT.

I WANT YOU TO HOLD HER KNEE UP HERE.

I'M--I'M SORRY, I GOT TO PUSH!

WHERE THE HELL IS THE AMBULANCE!

IF YOU GOTTA PUSH, PUSH, PUSH.

OK. BREATHE, BREATHE, GRACIE. BREATHE, BREATHE, BREATHE.

OK, OK. HOLD ON. HOLD ON. GRACIE, LISTEN TO ME.

[Richard] PUSH, GRACE.

[Hank] A LITTLE BIT MORE. THAT A GIRL.

[Grace moaning]

ALL RIGHT. OK. BREATHE, BREATHE, BREATHE.

[Grace] OH!

[Hank] SON OF A BITCH.

[Richard] WHAT?

AH, WE GOT A LITTLE PROBLEM, HERE.

[Richard] WHAT DO YOU MEAN "A LITTLE PROBLEM"?

WHAT PROBLEM?

NOTHING I CAN'T HANDLE, ALL RIGHT?

WHAT?

THE UMBILICAL CORD MIGHT BE WRAPPED--

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "THE UMBILICAL CORD MIGHT BE WRAPPED"?

IT MIGHT BE WRAPPED AROUND THE BABY'S NECK.

WELL, ISN'T THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT?

I DON'T KNOW, RICHARD. WHAT DO TURKEYS DO?

[Laughs]

OF COURSE WE CAN DO SOMETHING.

IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM.

[Grace laughing]

YOU! GET OUT OF HERE!

UH, DO WHAT HE SAYS, SON.

BREATHE, BREATHE, GRACIE, BREATHE, BREATHE, BREATHE.

[Grace moaning]

THE RETARD'S IN THERE.

LET ME SEE!

[Hank] NO, WAIT.

COME HERE A SECOND.

LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS. ARE THEY CLEAN?

ALL RIGHT. LISTEN TO ME. LISTEN GOOD, OK?

I WANT YOU TO HELP ME OUT HERE.

I WANT YOU TO REACH IN THERE--

I--IN--INSIDE MY WIFE?

HA HA HA!

LOOK, MY HANDS ARE TOO BIG.

I'M TOO DAMN DRUNK. HIS HANDS ARE SMALLER.

HE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

LET HIM DO IT, RICHARD!

[Hank] CAN YOU DO THIS FOR ME?

WHAT ARE THEY DOING IN THERE?

CAN YOU DO THIS FOR ME?

OK. NOW, THERE'S A BABY IN THERE.

UM, I'LL EXPLAIN LATER.

[Laughing]

I WANT YOU TO REACH INSIDE REALLY SLOWLY,

VERY GENTLY, WITH ONE HAND, OK?

SHUT UP, RICHARD!

[Hank] CAN YOU FEEL ITS NECK?

MMM-HMM.

ALL RIGHT. NOW, I WANT YOU TO FIND THE UMBILICAL CORD.

IT'S LIKE A-- LIKE A WET ROPE,

LIKE THE TIME WE MADE THAT TRAILER HITCH,

AND IT'S WRAPPED AROUND THE BABY'S NECK.

I WANT YOU TO UNCURL IT SO THE BABY CAN BE BORN.

CAN YOU FEEL IT?

MMM-MMM.

HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING!

RICHARD.

[Hank] KEEP TRYING, SON. COME ON.

KEEP TRYING.

[Richard] THIS IS INSANE.

[Hank] OK, THINK.

YOU GOT IT YET?

MMM-HMM.

[Hank] YOU DO? YOU GOT IT? YOU GOT IT. OK, GOOD.

ALL RIGHT, NOW I WANT YOU TO PUT YOUR FINGERS

BETWEEN THE UMBILICAL CHORD AND THE BABY'S NECK,

SO THAT WHEN YOU UNCURL IT, THE BABY CAN BE BORN, OK?

ALL RIGHT. CAN YOU DO THAT FOR ME?

DO IT FOR ME NOW, SON. COME ON.

HE DIED LAST YEAR, SO...

YOU WORK DELIVERY AND THE RENT GOES DOWN.

OH!

ACTUALLY THAT MIGHT BE USEFUL,

BECAUSE, UM, I'M WAITING ON A JOB.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

MOSAICS, YOU KNOW?

I WORK WITH TILES.

OH. IS THERE A CALL FOR THAT?

NO, NOT ENOUGH.

IT'S A DYING ART, REALLY.

THEY USE COMPUTERS

TO DESIGN MOSAICS NOWADAYS.

IT'S LIKE BAKING, YOU KNOW?

NOW IT'S ALL PLASTIC,

PLASTIC WRAP AND ADVERTISEMENT.

YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY,

I NOTICED DOWNSTAIRS IN THE FRONT OF THE SHOP

YOU HAVE RED GRANITE FLOORS.

PRETTY RARE, FROM ITALY, WHICH IS WHERE I TRAINED.

I WOULDN'T KNOW.

WELL, THIS IS IT.

[Man] NO SMOKING, NO PARTIES.

THE GIRL BEFORE YOU HERE,

REALLY?

SMELLS GOOD.

[Anna] JUST MAKE SURE TO TELL IRENE

THAT I'LL BABYSIT LILY TONIGHT.

WHEN YOU GET TO THE SECOND STOP SIGN,

[Inaudible]

[Anna] GO UP TO THE SECOND STOP SIGN,

TAKE A SHARP RIGHT, AND THEN JOG LEFT AT THE CHURCH.

DID YOU UNDERSTAND ALL THAT?

YEAH.

YES.

[Baker] YOU SAID THAT? 5 YEARS OLD?

"I'M GOING TO MARRY HER."

[Danny] I KNOW, MY--MY FATHER TOLD ME THAT STUPID STORY

MILLIONS OF TIMES.

ANNA SWAN, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL NAME.

VICIOUS BIRDS, SWANS. VICIOUS. VICIOUS.

HA HA! NO. I MEAN THE FAMILY.

OH.

YES, THEY'RE VERY NICE PEOPLE.

THEY COME IN HERE SOMETIMES. UH...

BLIND GIRL, SHE HAS A SWEET TOOTH.

SHE LOVES RASPBERRY TARTS.

THE MOTHER IS SICK,

AND THE ONE CALLED ANNA

SPENDS A LOT OF TIME WITH HER.

DOES SHE LIVE THERE?

I DON'T THINK SO. WHY?

HE'S IN LOVE WITH HER.

NO, NO, NO. I'M NOT IN LOVE WITH HER.

WHEN YOU LEAST WANT IT, LOVE HAPPENS.

LIKE APPENDICITIS.

[Danny] I PROMISE YOU, THIS IS NOT LOVE.

I KNOW LOVE.

NO, WHEN I FALL IN LOVE,

IT'S LIKE AN ALIEN INVASION IN MY BODY.

I TURN OUT LIKE A COMPLETE IDIOT.

I WON'T SAY IT WON'T HAPPEN TOME AGAIN,

BUT IT--IT--IT WON'T BE THIS TIME.

[Danny] AND, UM, WHAT'S-- WHAT'S THE EVENT?

SHE DIDN'T SAY.

SHE JUST CALLED UP AND ORDERED THE CAKE.

NOTHING WRITTEN ON IT?NO.

NOTHING?NOTHING.

WELL, YOU DON'T WANT TO TAKE IT?

NO, NO, NO. NO. I WANT--

I'LL TAKE IT. I'LL TAKE IT.

WHAT'S-- YOU KNOW-- WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

2 NORMAL PEOPLE BEING--BEING INTRODUCED.

THAT'S THE RETARD! YOU'RE THE RETARD.

[Anna] WHAT IS GOING ON?

HERE SHE IS.

ANNA, COME HERE.

[Man] ANNA, I--I THOUGHT YOU WERE KIDDING.

ISN'T SHE MAGNIFICENT?

MOTHER, PLEASE.

HI. NICE TO MEET YOU.

LAST TIME WE MET,

YOU WERE--YOU WERE COVERED IN AFTERBIRTH.

WELL, THERE'S A LINE I BET YOU NEVER HEARD BEFORE.

[Anna] DANNY, THIS IS ERIC.

DANNY IS THE MAN RESPONSIBLE FOR BRINGING ME INTO THE WORLD.

WELL, I'M VERY GRATEFUL.

IT'D BE A MUCH LESS INTERESTING PLACE WITHOUT HER.

THINK NOTHING OF IT.

GLAD YOU'RE FEELING BETTER.

I'M KAREN.

HI.

IS THAT YOUR BABY?

OH, RIGHT.

HELLO.

[Billy] CAN YOU BRING THE BABY IN HERE, PLEASE?

WHY'D YOU FIRE HER?

[Sister] I DON'T LIKE HER.

SHE READ TOO FAST AND SHE SKIPPED PARTS.

HE HIRED ONE OF HIS GIRLFRIENDS TO READ FOR YOU.

SHE WASN'T ONE OF MY GIRLFRIENDS.

OH, THAT'S RIGHT. YOUR GIRLFRIENDS DON'T KNOW HOW TO READ.

OH, HONEY. WOULD-- THAT'S SO RIDICULOUS.

[Billy] DON'T--DON'T START THAT THING.

MOTHER USED TO READ FOR ME,

BUT SHE FINDS IT HARD TO BREATHE NOW.

WHAT'S THAT SOUND?

THESE ARE...

THESE ARE-- THESE ARE PIECES OF TILE

I KEEP--I KEEP ON ME FOR--FOR GOOD LUCK.

OH, REALLY? CAN I FEEL?

YEAH. HERE.

THAT'S A-- THAT'S A PIECE OF RED MARBLE.

MMM-HMM.

AND, UH, THAT'S--

THAT'S A PIECE OF MALACHITE,

UM, ANOTHER--ANOTHER PIECE OF MARBLE.

IS SOMETHING WRONG?

NO.

ARE YOU SURE?

YEAH. YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

I'M FINE. YOU CAN KEEP THOSE.

OH, REALLY? THANK YOU.

FEEL NICE?

YEAH. I LIKE IT.

FOR GOOD LUCK, HUH?

MMM.

GOOD LUCK.

[Man] ...DRANK ALL THE BEER?

[Woman] DO YOU WANT CORN?

[Anna] WE HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE TO READ FOR NINA.

[Billy] SHE GOES THROUGH READERS LIKE TISSUE PAPER.

[Nina] I DO NO. I DON'T GO THROUGH LIKE TISSUE PAPER.

HEY, DOES EVERYBODY KNOW THAT DANIEL'S A TILER?

OH, MAYBE HE COULD DO OUR GUEST BATHROOM, HONEY.

NOT THAT SORT OF TILER. DANNY'S AN ARTIST.

[Billy] IT'S A NICE BATHROOM.

UM, I RESTORE MOSAICS.

HMM. INTERESTING.

YEAH. MR. TAMBINI, MY--MY TEACHER AND MENTOR,

SAID THAT I HAVE GREAT POTENTIAL,

POTENTIAL TO BE A MASTER TILER.

FASCINATING.

[Eric] YOU ONLY DO RESTORATIONS

OR DO YOU EVER DO YOUR OWN WORK?

JUST RESTORATION AT THE MOMENT.

[Anna] YOU DON'T FIND THAT LIMITING?

ACTUALLY, I DO.

SO, BASICALLY YOU'RE A REPAIRMAN.

WOULD YOU LIKE SOME WINE?

YOU KNOW, ALCOHOL IS POISON.

[Billy] OH, PLEASE!

KAREN, YOU'RE THE RALPH NADER OF GASTRONOMY.

I'M JUST TELLING YOU THE FACTS.

YOU KNOW, I READ ONCE WHERE THEY TOOK A RAT

AND INJECTED HIM WITH ALCOHOL

20 TIMES A DAY FOR 5 YEARS.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT DIED OF?

HOLES?

[All laugh]

I LIKE THIS GUY.

WHY DON'T YOU HAVE SOME PARSLEY?

KAREN, PLEASE.

WE HAVE TO FIND SOMEONE TO READ FOR NINA.

I'M GOING TO READ ANNA KARENINA.

OH!

THAT IS THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER WRITTEN.

DON'T TALK ABOUT LOVE WHILE I'M EATING.

FATHER DOESN'T BELIEVE IN LOVE.

DANIEL'S A ROMANTIC.

I CAN TELL.

YOU'VE BEEN IN LOVE, HAVEN'T YOU, DANNY?

YES, I HAVE ACTUALLY.

YOU HAVE?

WHAT'S IT LIKE? TELL ME.

MMM! I'M ALL PINS AND NEEDLES.

WHAT'S IT LIKE?

MMM-HMM.

WELL, ALL RIGHT.

YOU KNOW HOW

WHEN YOU'RE LISTENING TO MUSIC PLAYING FROM ANOTHER ROOM,

AND YOU'RE SINGING ALONG,

BECAUSE IT'S A TUNE THAT YOU REALLY LOVE,

WHEN A DOOR CLOSES OR A TRAIN PASSES,

SO YOU CAN'T HEAR THE MUSIC ANYMORE,

BUT YOU SING ALONG ANYWAY.

THEN, NO MATTER HOW MUCH TIME PASSES,

WHEN YOU HEAR THE MUSIC AGAIN,

YOU'RE STILL IN EXACT SAME TIME WITH IT.

THAT'S WHAT IT'S LIKE.

[Woman crying]

I THINK.

[Crying]

MADE MY WIFE CRY.

[Anna] THANK YOU, DANIEL.

THAT'S A FITTING INTRODUCTION

TO WHAT I HAVE TO TELL YOU ALL.

I THINK I'M GOING TO KILL MYSELF.

OH, IRENE.

AND THEN I'M GOING TO KILL HIM.

OH, NO.

PLEASE, DON'T KEEP DOING THAT, IRENE.

MUST WE GO THROUGH THIS EVERY NIGHT?

[Billy] HONEY, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU?

YOU SHOOT ME, THEN YOURSELF.

THAT'S HOW IT GOES. ME, THEN YOU.

ME, THEN YOU.

IRENE.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

HER THERAPIST NEVER GIVES HER BULLETS.

UNFORTUNATELY.BITE ME.

GIVE HER THE GUN.

[Irene] OK, OK, HERE, TAKE IT.

YOU KNOW, I GOT IT OUT OF MY SYSTEM,

AND I FEEL MUCH BETTER.

AH, YES, IN THE WORDS OF JOHN WILKES BOOTH.

SHE JUST LIKES TO CARRY IT AROUND.

I THOUGHT IT WAS A REAL GUN.

OK, ANNA. WHAT WAS IT YOU WANTED TO TELL US?

SHE WAS GOING TO SAY

THAT SHE AND I ARE OFFICIALLY ENGAGED.

OH, ANNA, THAT'S WONDERFUL!

[All] CONGRATULATIONS!

THERE YOU GO, FINALLY!

IT'S ABOUT TIME.

[Billy] WHEN IS IT GOING TO BE?

[Eric] WE HAVEN'T SET A DATE YET.

CONGRATULATIONS, ERIC.

THAT'S SO WONDERFUL!

[Billy] FINALLY! IT'S ABOUT TIME.

[Whispering]

I COULD READ FOR YOU, NINA.

WHAT?

I COULD READ FOR YOU.

ANNA!

DANIEL SAYS HE'LL READ FOR ME!

IS THAT ALL RIGHT, MOTHER?

CAN DANIEL READ FOR ME?

[Grace] I THINK THAT'S A WONDERFUL IDEA.

[Grace] RICHARD?

I DON'T CARE.

"HE STEPPED DOWN,

"AVOIDING ANY LONG LOOK AT HER,

"AS ONE AVOIDS LONG LOOKS AT THE SUN--

A BEE.

"BUT SEEING HER AS ONE SEES THE SUN,

"WITHOUT LOOKING."

[Nina] THAT BEE IS STILL AROUND.

NO, THERE'S NO BEE NEAR YOU. I PROMISE.

YES, THERE IS. YES, THERE IS!

I CAN HEAR IT BETTER THAN YOU.

GET IT AWAY FROM ME!

I CAN'T STAND BEES!

NINA, RELAX. RELAX.

THERE'S BEES ALL AROUND ME!

I'M HERE. JUST-- JUST STAND STILL.

ALL OVER ME!

NO, THERE'S NOT. THERE'S NOTHING AROUND YOU.

NINA, STOP IT! STOP IT.

[Crying]

I HATE BEES.

COME ON.

I'M VERY, VERY SORRY.

WHY DID YOU BRING HER HERE?

IT--IT WAS-- IT WAS YOUR MOTHER'S IDEA.

SHE'S NOT COMFORTABLE IN PLACES LIKE THIS.

WELL, YOU DID SAY, YOU KNOW, TH--THAT SHE SHOULD-- SHE SHOULD GET OUT MORE.

YES, SHE SHOULD, WITH ME.

WHY ONLY WITH YOU?

BECAUSE SHE TRUSTS ME, THAT'S WHY.

I THINK YOU TREAT HER LIKE A BABY. I'M SORRY.

YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND.NO, I UNDERSTAND.

NINA AND I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP.

I DO UNDERSTAND.

I'VE ALWAYS BEEN HER CONNECTION TO THE SIGHTED WORLD.

WELL, MAYBE--MAYBE SHE--SHE SHOULD HAVE

SOMEBODY ELSE DO THAT FOR HER

FOR A CHANGE.

WELL-- YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T THINK

YOU'RE THE RIGHT PERSON TO READ FOR HER.

WHY NOT?

ISN'T IT OBVIOUS?ARE YOU FIRING ME?

YES! YES, I'M FIRING YOU.

WHY?

BECAUSE NINA NEEDS SOMEBODY WHO'S MORE...

THERE'S A BEE ON YOU.

OH, JESUS.

MORE WHAT, INTELLECTUAL?

NO.ACADEMIC?

NO, QUITE THE OPPOSITE.

SIMPLE. THIS IS A JOB FOR A RETIRED TEACHER,

OR A CHILD, NOT A WORKMAN.

WELL, I DON'T AGREE.

WELL, YOU JUST MET MY FAMILY 24 HOURS AGO

AND YOURE GONNA TELL US HOW TO RUN OUR LIVES?

NO! THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT.

WHAT I MEANT WAS THAT NINA--

SHH!

YOU'RE PROVOKING IT.

FASCINATING CREATURES, BEES.

EACH ONE HAS ITS RESPONSIBILITY,

IT COMPLETES IT, AND THEN IT DIES.

IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO?

WHAT?

ARE YOU HAPPY, ANNA?

YES!

YES, I'M HAPPY!

NO, I DON'T THINK YOU ARE.

WHY DID YOU ASK THE QUESTION

IF YOU ALREADY KNEW THE ANSWER?

ARE YOU HAPPY?YES.

GREAT. WHAT A RELIEF. EVERYBODY'S HAPPY.

ANNA.

NINA.

I OVERREACTED. I'M SORRY.

ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?

YES, I'M FINE. I'M FINE. THANK YOU.

I'M VERY SORRY.

OH, NO. IT'S-- YOU KNOW WHAT?

I'M GLAD YOU SUGGESTED WE COME HERE.

IT WAS KIND OF EXCITING.

DO YOU--DO YOU-- DO YOU WANT TO STAY AND READ SOME MORE?

OH, NO. NO, NO. I WANT TO GO HOME NOW.

THANK YOU.

SEE YOU TOMORROW.

[Nina] BYE.

MR. PALMIERI, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY, SIR.

I'M A MAGICIAN WITH MARBLE. YOU'LL SEE.

IF I WANTED A MAGICIAN, I WOULD'VE HIRED HOUDINI.

[Laughing]

LET'S LOOK AT THESE PLANS OVER HERE.

[Clanks]

[Loud clanking]

[Man] HAVE 'EM CLEANED BY LUNCH, MICHELANGELO.

[Karen] SO, YEAH, IT'S A FEMINIST THEATER COMPANY.

"ACTORS WITHOUT DICKS."

CATCHY.

WELL, THERE'S NO PARTS FOR WOMEN,

AND WE'RE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT WITH YOU?

THAT'S FINE. LADIES' FIRST.

ABSOLUTELY.

JEEZ! IT'S LIKE A DIANE ARBUS AUDITION IN HERE.

[Woman] HEY, DANNY, DANNY, I SAVED YOU

YOUR FAVORITE DANISH PASTRY, THE ONE YOU LIKE.

[Danny] YOU SPOIL ME, CLARA.

AW, YOU DESERVE IT.

LOOK AT ALL THIS SUGAR. IT'S POISON.

HEY, COME ON. I'VE ONLY GOT 10 MINUTES.

ANYWAY, THE ONLY GUY WE CAST IN THE PLAY

GOT A REAL JOB, SO HE HAD TO LEAVE.

WAIT A MINUTE. DID YOU JUST STICK YOUR TONGUE OUT AT ME?

LOOK, DANNY, THIS FILTHY SEMI-LITERATE YAHOO

WANTS TO DO ME!

DREAMS DO COME TRUE!

[Danny] IT'S HER MEDICATION. KAREN!

NO, SURE, I WANT TO.

RIGHT NOW. RIGHT HERE ON THIS TABLE.

SORRY. I DIDN'T MEAN TO BOTHER YOU.

WHY NOT? THE WAY THAT JELLY CLINGS TO YOUR CHIN,

IT'S SO SEXY. LOOK AT YOU!

AND THAT PASTY WHITE GUT CASCADES OVER YOUR BELT

LIKE WATER IN A DREAM.

[Laughing]

[Karen] WHAT MORE COULD A WOMAN WANT?

WHAT, YOU THINK WE DON'T HAVE BRAINS?

I DON'T THINK YOU HAVE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS.

CAN I HAVE ONE OF THESE?

KAREN, COME ON.

KAREN!

EXCUSE ME.

YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO WORK WITH THESE GUYS. HAVE A BIT OF RESPECT.

I HATE THAT SHIT!

THEY-- THEY THINK YOU'RE A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN. WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL?

OH, PLEASE! I'M A DISASTER.

LOOK AT ME. I'M 29 YEARS OLD.

YOU KNOW HOW OLD I'M GOING TO BE NEXT YEAR?

30?

DON'T MOCK ME.

DO YOU WANT TO DO THE PART OR NOT?

NO. I'M SORRY. I CAN'T ACT.

THAT DOESN'T STOP ANYONE ELSE IN SHOW BUSINESS.

UNFORTUNATELY YOU CAN'T HAVE ANY LINES,

BECAUSE YOU'RE A MAN.

YOU JUST STAND THERE ON THE STAGE LIKE A PROP.

THAT SHOULDN'T BE TOO HARD FOR YOU.

I WOULD LIKE TO HELP,

BUT, YOU KNOW, I'M WORKING NOW.

ANNA'S MAKING THE COSTUMES.

IS SHE?

OH, MY GOD, YOU'RE ALL THE SAME.

WHAT?

YOU'RE ABOUT AS SUBTLE AS A TRUCK.

[Laughing]

I JUST LICKED MY LIPS.

[Karen] AT LEAST YOU DON'T GO FOR THE EASY ONES, DO YOU?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

YOU FOAM AT THE MOUTH

EVERY TIME SHE WALKS INTO THE ROOM.

I-- WHO?

WHO? WHO? ANNA. WHO ELSE?

[Laughs]

YOU KNOW, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY BE GOOD FOR HER.

SCREW UP HER PERFECT LITTLE LIFE.

ANNA HAS A PERFECT LIFE?

SHE LIKES TO THINK SO.

OH, YOU MEAN ERIC.

WELL, HE'S RICH, HE'S CHARMING,

EVERYONE LOVES HIM.

HMM.

YOU PLAY ME RIGHT, THOUGH,

I CAN HELP YOU LAND MY LITTLE SISTER.

FIRST REHEARSAL'S THURSDAY...

ALL RIGHT.

[Man] HAVE A NICE DAY.

TOO LATE.

DON'T LOOK AT ME.

[Men laughing]

NO. IT'S TO DO WITH INDEPENDENCE, INDIVIDUALS--

NO. NO. I THINK ALL GOOD MARRIAGES

ARE REALLY BASED ON SOMETHING IN COMMON, RIGHT?

YOU KNOW, SOME COUPLES TRAVEL, SOME SHOP,

YOU KNOW, SOME GARDEN. BILLY AND ME, WE BREAK UP.

THAT'S WHAT WE SHARE, BREAKING UP.

BILLY HAS AN AFFAIR, AND I STOP EATING FOR A WHILE,

AND THEN WE HAVE A HUGE FIGHT,

AND OUR RELATIONSHIP IS OVER,

AND WE BREAK UP.

UH...

AND-- BUT WHILE WE'RE DOING THAT,

ALL THE PASSION THAT SORT OF SEEPED OUT OF OUR RELATIONSHIP,

COMES-- IT COMES RUSHING BACK IN,

AND, UH, HE SAYS, UH, "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME.

"I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT YOU."

UNTIL WE'RE BACK TOGETHER,

AND EVERYTHING'S PRETTY MUCH BACK THE WAY IT WAS,

UNTIL WE BREAK UP AGAIN.

I MEAN, IT'S REALLY KIND OF PATHETIC, THOUGH, ISN'T IT?

NO. IT'S WHATEV--WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU.

[Anna] BILLY, BILLY! BILLY, GIVE ME THAT.

ANNA HAS A SECRET ADMIRER.

OK, BUT JUST PLEASE GIVE IT TO HER.

I'M GONNA STRANGLE YOU.

YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES I REALLY-- I THINK ABOUT LEAVING HIM,

BUT THEN I-- THEN I DON'T,

YOU KNOW, 'CAUSE I REALLY THINK THAT WOULD

FORCE US TOGETHER EVEN MORE.

BILLY, HE'S A MORON.

[Baby fussing]

HE'S A GOOD MORON, THOUGH.

[Anna] BILLY DOESN'T GET ANYTHING.

OH, THANK YOU.

WHAT DID I MISS?

OH, LOOK AT THIS. LOOKIT. ANNA HAS A SECRET ADMIRER.

HE'S PROBABLY ONE OF THE TEENAGERS

THAT WORKS AT THE GARDEN.

[Karen] HOW DO YOU KNOW IT'S A HE?

I'M SORRY, I DON'T GO FOR THAT STUFF.

[All talking at once]

ERIC, READ IT.

[Richard] THE MALE SEA LION...

WANTS A FEMALE.

HE ROLLS OVER,

DANGLES HIS ERECT MEMBER--

OH, GOD, DADDY.

[Richard] IN FRONT OF HER,

AND PRESTO,

PERPETUATION OF THE SPECIES.

THAT'S HOW BILLY MET IRENE.

DON'T FLATTER ME. THAT'S MY FAVORITE STORY.

[Karen laughing]

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU SHOULD READ THIS FOR ALL OF US.

YOU KNOW WHAT, ERIC? DON'T READ IT, IT'S REALLY NOT NECESSARY.

I WANT TO SEE WHAT MY COMPETITION IS.

IT'S A POEM.

"WANTED, WANTED, ANNA SWAN."

THAT'S ENOUGH.

[Nina] NO, NO. GO ON, WE WANNA HEAR.

[Eric] THE PUBLIC CLAMORS, HONEY.

"WANTED, WANTED, ANNA SWAN.

"HAIR, BLONDE. EYES, ON FIRE.

"AGE, 9,000 DAYS ALREADY GONE.

WHAT IS THAT EXACTLY, IN LAYMAN'S TERMS?

"ALREADY IN LOVE OR MAYBE A LIAR--"

THAT'S ENOUGH!

[Grace] CONTINUE!

OH, THIS IS GOOD.

"APPROACH WITH CAUTION, ANNA SWAN.

"YOUR SOUL'S A SITTING DUCK.

"ARMED AND DANGEROUS, ANNA SWAN.

"MY HEART'S A BELL ALREADY STRUCK."

[Laughter]

CHILDREN PRESENT. SORRY.

"I'M DYING, EXPIRING, ANNA SWAN.

"THE EXPERTS ALL ASSURE ME.

"MY ONLY HOPE IS ANNA SWAN.

"ONLY YOUR LOVE CAN CURE ME."

[Karen] LET'S GET THE CAKE!

[Lily] HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILLY.

[Karen] HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILL.

[Billy] THANK YOU.

[Richard] HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OLD MAN.

[Nina] HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

[Irene] HERE. HERE YOU GO.

[Billy] DO YOU HAVE THE PROPER AMOUNT OF CANDLES, MOM?

[Woman] WHO TOOK MY EYELINER? JENNIFER?

[Jennifer] DON'T LOOK AT ME. EMMA HAD IT.

GOD, I NEED A CIGARETTE.

THERE'S NO SMOKING IN HERE.

UH, YOU HAVE TO FIX MY TAIL.

DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.

DO WHAT AGAIN?

SEND ME AN ANONYMOUS POEM.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WAS ME?

WHO ELSE WOULD WRITE SUCH DRIVEL?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, DRIVEL?

...MAKE IT HERE BY CURTAIN. HERE.

[Woman] OH, MY GOD, THAT'S DISGUSTING.

[Woman #2] LOOKS LIKE MY FATHER.

THIS IS MINE?

YEAH. I MEAN, HERE ARE YOUR CLAWS.

NO, YOU MEAN TROTTERS.

TROTTERS, CLAWS. WHATEVER PIGS HAVE,

THOSE ARE THEM.

AND, ANNA, MAKE SURE YOU PUT IT ON REALLY TIGHT

SO IT DOESN'T FLY OFF WHEN THEY HIT HIM WITH THE BASEBALL BAT.

WAIT A MINUTE. THERE'S NO BASEBALL BAT SCENE IN MEDEA.

DON'T WORRY. WE PUT PADDING ON THE INSIDE. SEE?

OK? IT'S A BIG HOUSE OUT THERE, EVERYBODY.

MMM. AHH. YOU LOOK GREAT.

BREAK A LEG!

PLACES!

[Excited chatter]

[Woman] GO GET 'EM.

[Woman #2] HAVE FUN!

OK, THAT SHOULD HOLD,

SO DON'T BE PULLING ON IT AGAIN.

DON'T LET YOUR TAIL DRAG.

YOUR MUM LIKED MY POEM.

OH, PLEASE. "MY HEART'S A BELL ALREADY STRUCK," OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.

NO, THAT WAS IT. THAT WAS IT EXACTLY.

I TOLD YOU NATURAL FABRICS.

I CANNOT WEAR ANYTHING BUT NATURAL FABRICS.

WELL, SWITCH WITH HELEN.

GREEN. GREEN? YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.

YOU LOOK NICE IN GREEN. REALLY.

NO!

[Anna] YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU'RE NOT FOOLING ANYONE, YOU KNOW.

I MEAN, EVERYONE KNOWS IT. IT'S SO OBVIOUS.

YOU'RE WORMING YOUR WAY INTO ALL OF OUR LIVES JUST TO KEEP AROUND ME, SO END IT!

I CAN'T.WHY?

BECAUSE I LOVE YOU.

OH, PLEASE! ARE YOU ALWAYS THIS INSIPID?

NO. YOU INSPIRE ME.

OH, FINALLY. A PURPOSE IN LIFE.

PICK UP YOUR TAIL.

ANNA, PLEASE. RUN AWAY WITH ME.

RUN AWAY WITH ME AND MARRY ME TOMORROW.

I'M BEING SEDUCED BY A 6-FOOT PIG.

STORY OF MY LIFE. COME ON.

YOU KNOW, DOES IT BOTHER YOU AT ALL

THAT I'M ENGAGED TO BE MARRIED?

I THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE.

OH, THANK YOU. I LOVE CHOICES.

LET ME THINK. MMM... I'LL CHOOSE ERIC.

NOW, THAT WASN'T VERY HARD, WAS IT?

NO, IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE.

AND DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY?

NOT REALLY.

NO? WELL, I'M GONNA TELL YOU WHY.

LET'S START WITH THE FACT

THAT I HAVE EVERYTHING IN COMMON WITH ERIC,

NOTHING IN COMMON WITH YOU.RIGHT.

HE'S EXCEPTIONALLY BRILLIANT--

REALLY?

HE MAKES 6 FIGURES A YEAR.

SO DO I. OF COURSE, THE FIRST 2 ARE ZEROES.

I'M ONLY MENTIONING MONEY

BECAUSE AT ONE TIME OR ANOTHER,

HE'S KEPT EVERY MEMBER OF MY FAMILY

FINANCIALLY AFLOAT,

AND HE'S ASKED FOR NOTHING IN RETURN.

WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL ASK FOR?

LAST, BUT NOT LEAST,

HE'S A WONDERFUL LOVER.

YOU'RE LUCKY YOU FOUND HIM BEFORE I DID, ANNA.

[Scoffing]

[Actor] "HERE COMES OUR SACRIFICE, DIANA."

THIS IS OUR CUE.

"IT IS MEDEA."

SO, WHEN ARE YOU GONNA GET MARRIED?

I DON'T KNOW. WE HAVEN'T DECIDED YET. NOW GET OUT THERE!

WELL, WHY NOT?

"WHERE IS OUR SACRIFICE, SISTERS?"

GET OUT THERE!YOU'RE ON, PORKY.

WAIT A MINUTE. LISTEN TO ME.

[Actor] "PERHAPS WE SHOULD SEND SOMEONE TO LOOK FOR HIM."

HE'S COMING! OINK OINK OINK.

KNOW THIS, I WOULD MARRY YOU YESTERDAY.

[Actors reciting]

OW.

OW!

ANNA, COULD YOU HELP ME WITH THE MASK?

OH...

ANNA!

ANNA!

[Danny] ANNA!

ANNA, WAIT!

TAXI!

GET AWAY FROM ME.

ANNA, JUST WAIT.

430 SOUTH CORNWALL. GO!

JUST WAIT. WAIT.

GO, PLEASE!

JUST WAIT, PLEASE.

JUST--JUST-- ALL RIGHT, ANSWER ME ONE QUESTION.

YOU'RE GONNA GET KILLED.

DOES HE MAKE YOU LAUGH?

YES! YES, HE DOES. ARE YOU HAPPY?

JUST GO, PLEASE.

HE'LL NEVER LOVE YOU LIKE I CAN. I PROMISE.

THANK GOD FOR SMALL FAVORS.

I'D MARRY YOU TOMORROW.

I'D HAVE CHILDREN WITH YOU, TOO.

DOZENS AND DOZENS OF CHILDREN.

LET'S HOPE THEY LOOK LIKE THE MOTHER.

ANNA!

ANNA!

ANNA!

[Keypad keys clicking]

LET'S GO SOMEWHERE.

[Eric] WHERE?

I DON'T KNOW. THE DESERT, OCEAN, THE MOUNTAINS.

THE BED.

W-WHEN I FINISH. I CAN'T--

NO!

[Eric] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME ON. COME ON. WE ALWAYS USED TO DO IT ON THIS DESK.

DID WE?

"DID WE?" YES.

YES, WE DID.

YOU'VE BEEN READING COSMOPOLITAN AGAIN.

OH, VERY FUNNY. COME ON.

DO WHAT YOU USED TO DO TO ME.

WHAT WOULD THAT BE?

YOU KNOW.

YOU NEVER DO THAT ANYMORE.YES, I DO.

NO, YOU DON'T.I DON'T?

YOU DON'T. JUST DO IT!

NOW?

YES! NOW.

[Danny] I'LL FINISH THIS, THEN I'M TAKING A BREAK.

HEY, YOU SLEEPING WITH HER? ARE YOU?

WHO?YOU SLEEPING WITH MY WIFE?

NO.THAT'S NOT WHAT SHE SAID.

WELL, I'M NOT.I THINK YOU'RE LYING.

I'M NOT.ARE YOU SURE?

I'M SURE.ARE YOU SURE?

HOW COME SHE'S SO PREOCCUPIED WITH YOU, HUH?

TOTALLY PREOCCUPIED. WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

WHAT? YOU--YOU WANT TO HUNT DOWN ALL THE WOMEN IN MY LIFE?

BILLY, LISTEN. SHE CALLS ME, ALL RIGHT?

SHE CALLS ME, JUST TO TALK TO ME.

ALL RIGHT.

YOU'RE PROBABLY RIGHT. WHAT THE HELL WOULD YOU BE SLEEPING WITH HER FOR?

YOU'RE RIGHT. OK. I'M GONNA TELL YOU SOMETHING.

I'M ONLY GONNA TELL YOU ONCE.

DON'T TALK TO MY WIFE, ALL RIGHT?

IF SHE CALLS, YOU HANG UP.

'CAUSE YOU'RE FILLING HER HEAD WITH ALL THIS SHIT ABOUT LOVE

AND MANIFESTING YOUR OWN DESTINY.

SHE'S EVEN TALKING ABOUT GOING BACK

TO THAT HALF-WIT MARRIAGE COUNSELOR AGAIN.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO.

WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?

MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO, BILLY.

THAT IS EASY FOR YOU TO SAY,

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT MARRIED TO HER.

DO ME A FAVOR. PLEASE STAY OUT OF MY LIFE.

AND WHILE YOU'RE AT IT, STAY OUT OF MY SISTER'S LIFE, TOO.

NINA?

NO, NOT NINA. ANNA. YOU THINK WE'RE ALL BLIND?

SHE'S TOO POLITE TO TELL YOU YOU'RE MAKING A FOOL OF YOURSELF,

BUT I AM NOT. YOU ARE MAKING AN ASS OF YOURSELF.

YOU OK, DANNY?

DON'T WORRY. I'M NOT GONNA HURT HIM. I'M A DOCTOR.

[Pager beeps]

I GOT TRIPLE BYPASS SURGERY IN 20 MINUTES.

NO ONE IN MY FAMILY LIKES YOU,

EXCEPT MY MOM, 'CAUSE SHE'S CRAZY,

AND NINA, 'CAUSE SHE'S BLIND.

SWITCH ME OVER TO O.R.

IF THEY'RE STUPID ENOUGH TO LET YOU GLOM ONTO THEM, THAT IS THEIR PROBLEM,

ALL RIGHT? BUT WHATEVER YOU DO, YOU STAY AWAY FROM IRENE.

[Billy] THIS IS DR. SWAN. CAN YOU PREP MR. STANTON?

I'LL BE THERE IN ABOUT 20 MINUTES.

[Speaking Italian]

[Speaking Italian]

HEY, DANNY.

[Man] IN LOVE, THAT'S ALL YOU NEED.

MONEY. I KNOW.

NO, NO, NOT MONEY. SHOW HIM.

SEE? THE COIN WITH 2 HEADS.

YOUR LADY-- SHE SAYS SHE DOESN'T WANT TO MAKE LOVE,

SO YOU SAY, "WE LET FATE DECIDE."

WOMEN LOVE FATE.

IS THAT RIGHT?

HEADS, WE MAKE LOVE.

TAILS, I GO AWAY AND DON'T BOTHER YOU AGAIN.

AHH, BOO HOO.

YOU'RE SAYING I SHOULD CHEAT?

QUE "CHEAT"?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "CHEAT"?

CHEAT.

YOU KNOW, CHEAT, TRICK, SWINDLE, DUPE.

I COULDN'T DO THAT.WHY NOT?

BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN LIFE

THAT EITHER WORK, OR THEY DON'T WORK.

YOU CAN'T MAKE IT WORK.

IT'S CHEMISTRY. I PREFER TO TAKE CHANCES.

GIVE ME THE COIN.

[Laughing]

THANK YOU.

YOU MET JESUS?HE SAVED MY LIFE.

THANK YOU. I'M TAKING NINA HOME.

NO, I CAN TAKE HER. I GOT WHEELS.

THANK YOU, BUT SHE'S COMING WITH ME.

I THINK NINA WANTS TO GO HOME WITH JESUS.

[Anna] WILL YOU STAY OUT OF THIS. COME ON, NINA.

[Danny] HE JUST OFFERED TO DRIVE HER HOME.

SHE'S GOING WITH ME.

EXCUSE ME.

WILL YOU PLEASE STOP TALKING ABOUT ME LIKE I'M NOT HERE?

I AM PERFECTLY CAPABLE OF DECIDING FOR MYSELF

WHO I'M GOING TO GO WITH.

JESUS IS TAKING ME HOME.

AHEM.

UH, I NEED A LIFT.

[Anna] GOD, I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE YOU BROUGHT HER THERE.

[Danny] THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER IS, NINA HAD A GREAT TIME,

AND YOU-- YOU JUST HATE THAT.

OH, NO. NINA WAS ALMOST KILLED.

I WAS ALMOST KILLED. LOOK!

NINA WAS FINE.

AH! LOOK, I HAVE ENOUGH RESPONSIBILITY

TRYING TO KEEP THIS FAMILY FUNCTIONING

WITHOUT YOU GUMMING UP THE WORKS.

WHY--WHY-- WHY ARE YOU RESPONSIBLE

FOR EVERYONE IN YOUR FAMILY?

BECAUSE I AM. ALL RIGHT?

THEY TREAT YOU LIKE A VALET SERVICE, YOU KNOW THAT?

WELL, YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S LIFE.

SOME PEOPLE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY,

AND OTHERS DON'T.

THANKS TO YOU, WE'VE GOT NINA CRUISING AROUND THE BARRIO

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

WITH A DISHWASHER NAMED JESUS.

YES. YES, SHE IS, AND SHE'S PROBABLY HAVING FUN

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HER LIFE.

WAIT A SECOND.

SHE'S HAD FUN BEFORE. NINA'S HAD FUN.

OH! NINA'S HAD FUN BEFORE. WHEN WAS THAT?

TELL ME, WHEN WAS THAT?

MAYBE LISTENING TO YOUR FATHER RANT ON

ABOUT HOW LOVE IS A CONSPIRACY.

OH, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW.

PERHAPS TAKING A PAGE

OUT OF BILLY AND IRENE'S GUIDE TO MARRIAGE.

OH, JEEZ.

OR FEELING THE PASSION THAT YOU AND ERIC OOZE.

OH, WAIT A SECOND. ERIC AND I HAVE PASSION.

WE HAVE PASSION.

WHAT KIND OF PASSION IS THAT, HUH? TELL ME.

HERE WE GO AGAIN.

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE WE SEEN THIS ONE BEFORE?

THE COWBOY, THE WORKING- CLASS LUG.

THE STRANGER RIDES INTO TOWN

AND TEACHES THE REPRESSED LITTLE PURITAN GIRL

HOW TO OPEN UP.

[Laughs]

THAT IS SO PATRONIZING,

NOT TO MENTION CLICHED AND INACCURATE.

IS IT?

FOR YOUR INFORMATION, I'VE BEEN IN LOVE.

I AM--I AM IN LOVE.

OH, GOD.

WHY DO I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE

I HAVE TO PROVE SOMETHING TO YOU ALL THE TIME?

YOU KNOW, I HAVE MORE PASSION IN ME

THAN YOU WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH.

I DOUBT IT.

ANNA...

YOU'RE ATTRACTED TO ME, AREN'T YOU?

ADMIT IT.

WANT TO KNOW SOMETHING?

YES. YES, GOD HELP ME, I AM,

BUT I'M ONLY ATTRACTED TO YOU

BECAUSE OF YOUR ATTRACTION TO ME.

IS THAT BAD?

IT'S LUDICROUS.

IT'S A HOUSE OF CARDS.

SO...

I HAVE NO HOPE?

NO, YOU HAVE NO HOPE WHATSOEVER.

I MEAN, WE HAD AN INTERESTING EXPERIENCE

25 YEARS AGO, AND...

AND WE CROSSED PATHS AGAIN, NOW.

THAT'S FATE.

FATE?YES.

OH, FATE, FATE.

PLEASE, THE LAST REFUGE OF THE TRULY DESPERATE.

[Laughs]

ALL RIGHT.

ALL RIGHT.

LET'S HAVE IT YOUR WAY.

FATE RULES OUR LIVES.

FATE CAUSED US TO BE TOGETHER NOW.

YOU THINK IT'S OUR FATE TO BE LOVERS,

AND I THINK IT'S OUR FATE TO BE APART.

LET'S SEE.

RIGHT NOW.

OH, THAT'S ENDEARING.

YOU WANT TO TOSS A COIN TO SEE IF WE BECOME LOVERS.

I--I--I FORGET. DID ROMEO AND JULIET DO THAT,

OR DID THEY JUST FLIP BASEBALL CARDS?

ARE YOU BACKING OUT?

I'M NOT BACKING OUT.

ALL RIGHT, THEN. HEADS, WE BECOME LOVERS.

TAILS, I'LL GO AWAY. YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN.

YOU CAN BLAME YOUR DECISION ON FATE.

I DON'T HAVE TO BLAME WHAT I DECIDE ON ANYTHING.

SO PUT YOUR MURKY SENTIMENTALITY TO THE TEST

AND TOSS THE DAMN THING.

BUT I READ THE COIN.

YOU CAN READ THE COIN.

TOSS IT OVER HERE BY ME.

YOU READY?

TOSS IT.

SO...

WHAT IS IT?

IT'S TAILS.

RIGHT. SERIOUSLY, WHAT IS IT?

IT'S TAILS.

YOU SURE?

[Anna clears throat]

DON'T YOU THINK I KNOW THE DIFFERENCE

BETWEEN HEADS AND TAILS?

FATE.

[Jesus] "SHE LOOKED ENCHANTING IN HER BLACK DRESS.

"HER NECK WAS ENCHANTING.

"HER HAIR WAS ENCHANTING.

"HER VISAGE WAS ENCHANTING."

THIS CHICK WAS PRETTY ENCHANTING.

APPARENTLY.

NINA, CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?

I'VE BEEN BLIND SINCE I WAS 10 MONTHS OLD.

NO, I WASN'T GONNA ASK YOU THAT.

YES, YOU WERE.

NO, NO--NO, I W-- I WAS GONNA ASK YOU IF YOU WERE SEEING SOMEBODY.

OH. NO.

NO, I'M NOT SEEING ANYBODY.

STUPID JESUS, STUPID JESUS.

NO, NO, YOU'RE NOT.

I AM. I SHOULDN'T HAVE--

NO, I WAS JUST-- I WAS MAKING A JOKE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I MEANT, NINA,

ARE YOU GOING OUT WITH SOMEBODY?

YEAH. RIGHT. NO.

NOPE. NOPE.

WHAT?

TAKE ME HOME.

WHY? NINA, I'M SORRY.

I WANT TO GO HOME. TAKE ME HOME.

I DIDN'T MEAN-- I DIDN'T MEAN THAT. I'M...

NINA.

WAIT. WAIT!

ERIC.

DANNY.

HOW ARE YOU?

FINE.

I'M WAITING FOR ANNA.

I... I WANTED TO GET HER A GIFT BEFORE SHE GETS HERE.

[Danny] WHAT'S THAT BOOK THERE?

[Eric] OH, SHAW'S MAN AND SUPERMAN.

YEAH, I'VE READ THAT.

WELL, HALF OF IT.

WHICH HALF?

SUPERMAN.

[Laughs]

LISTEN...

UM...

SERIOUSLY, I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.

SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW. UM...

NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

I'M IN LOVE WITH ANNA.

ARE YOU?

I HAVE IT ALL IN PERSPECTIVE NOW. IT'S NOT-- IT'S NOT A PROBLEM.

AND I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW.

I'LL SLEEP MUCH BETTER KNOWING THAT.

AH, WHAT A THING TO SAY. I GUESS YOU HEAR IT ALL THE TIME, RIGHT?

"I'M IN LOVE WITH ANNA. I LOVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND."

WHAT'S IT CALLED? AN OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD.

YOU KNOW, I SHOULD LOOK INTO INSURANCE.

NO, THAT'S IT.

YOU DON'T NEED TO. YOU--YOU GOT IT MADE.

SHE LOVES YOU.DOES SHE?

YES. ABSOLUTELY. SHE'S CRAZY ABOUT YOU.

WHAT A RELIEF.

I LOVE THE WAY YOU DO THAT.

DO WHAT?

YOU SAY AS FEW WORDS AS POSSIBLE.

IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE. LIKE A SHARPSHOOTER.

I'M A BIT MORE LIKE A SHOTGUN, YOU KNOW?

POO-UHH!

SCATTER WORDS LIKE BIRDSHOT,

HOPING SOMETHING IS GONNA HIT,

BUT YOU, YOU...

CAN TAKE AIM AND, BANG!

HIT.

IT'S VERY EFFECTIVE. IT'S AN INTELLECTUAL THING, RIGHT.

PERHAPS I COULD TUTOR YOU.

SEE, THAT'S WHAT I MEAN.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN,

"PERHAPS I COULD TUTOR YOU."

SOUNDS LIKE A NICE THING TO SAY, BUT UNDERNEATH,

BANG! WATCH OUT.

IT'S GREAT. I LIKE IT.

YOU GONNA GET THAT FOR ANNA?

YEAH.

A BOOK?

WHY, I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED.

[Laughing]

MMM. YOU'RE OUTDOING YOURSELF TODAY.

A WORD OF ADVICE,

DON'T GET HER THE BOOK.

SHE WANTS A BOOK.

NO, SHE DOESN'T. SHE DOES NOT WANT THE BOOK.

SHE DOESN'T?NO.

NO WOMAN REALLY WANTS A BOOK FOR A PRESENT,

I PROMISE YOU.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

ALL RIGHT.

GIVE HER THAT.

A HAT?

I BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE CALLED.

SHE HAS A DOZEN HATS.

A WOMAN CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY HATS.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

I KNOW.

GET HER THE HAT.

I'LL SEE YOU.

NO, MOTHER, IT'S NOT NINA.

I'M WORRIED ABOUT ANNA.

NINA.

YES, MOTHER,

I'M HERE. IT'S ME, NINA.

WHAT WORRIES YOU ABOUT ANNA?

I REMEMBER THE MOMENT YOU ALL BEGAN.

NOT YOUR BIRTHS,

YOUR CONCEPTIONS.

[Laughs]

I KNEW YOU WERE CONCEIVED

THE VERY MOMENT YOUR FATHER, UM,

YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU CALL IT?

UH, UM...

EJACULATED?

OH, NOT EJACULATED.

THE OTHER WORD THEY USE FOR IT NOW.

CAME.

YES, CAME!

THANK YOU, NURSE.

[Grace] OH, IT'S SO BIBLICAL.

ABRAHAM CAME.

MOSES CAME.

YEAH.

I KNEW THE VERY MOMENT

YOU WERE CONCEIVED.

MOTHER, WHAT ABOUT ANNA?

WHAT?

WHAT WERE YOU SAYING ABOUT ANNA?

YOU SAID YOU WERE WORRIED ABOUT ANNA.

SHE'S NOT YOUTHFUL.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, SHE'S NOT YOUTHFUL?

SHE CAME INTO THE WORLD

IN SUCH AN EXTRAORDINARY WAY.

I THINK I MADE HER USE UP ALL HER MAGIC

IN THE WAY THAT SHE CAME INTO IT.

AND NOW I'M AFRAID SHE HAS NO MAGIC LEFT.

WHAT DO YOU WANT HER TO DO?

BEFORE I DIE--

YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DIE.

BEFORE I DIE...

I WANT HER TO DO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY.

WOULD YOU TELL HER THAT FOR ME PLEASE, NINA?

I'LL TELL HER.

[Sighs]

[Jesus] DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.

[Nina] WE'RE GOING OUTSIDE.

OK! OK, 1, 2,

OK, STOP.

WE'RE GONNA-- IT'S A SURPRISE.

ALL RIGHT, WHERE ARE YOU TAKING ME?

DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.ARE WE ALMOST THERE?

STOP ASKING SO MANY QUESTIONS.

HOW MUCH FURTHER?STOP!

OK.

WHAT?

WHAT IS IT?

FEEL IT. FEEL IT!

IT'S A BIKE.

IT'S A BICYCLE?

YEAH, A BIKE, A BICYCLE.

YOU GOT ME A BICYCLE?

YEAH, LOOK! IT'S COOL.

IT'S GOT A BASKET.

I HAD THEM PUT THIS ON.

IT'S GOT MUSHROOM GRIPS, IT'S GOT A BELL...

IT'S THE COOLEST ONE THEY HAD, NINA.

IS THIS A JOKE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A JOKE?

WELL, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS?

DOING WHAT?

WHAT AM I GONNA DO WITH A BICYCLE?

YOU'RE GONNA RIDE IT, SWEETHEART.

LOOK--ARE YOU CRAZY?

OH, NO! NINA, PLEASE STOP.

LOOK, IT'S NOT--IT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

LOOK, WHEN I WAS-- WHEN I WAS WORKING YESTERDAY, I GOT THIS IDEA.

I CAN'T RIDE A BICYCLE.

YES, YOU CAN!

OH, GOD. ANNA WAS RIGHT.

ABOUT WHAT?

SHE WAS RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING!

ABOUT THE BICYCLE?IT'S NOT ABOUT THE BICYCLE!

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND! IT'S JUST--

GOD, HOW COULD I BE SO STUPID?

WHAT? YOU'RE NOT STUPID.

THE WHOLE THING IS STUPID!

IT'S A STUPID MISTAKE.

LEAVE ME ALONE!

IT'S NOT A MISTAKE, OK?

IT'S NOT!

[Crying]

WE'RE NOT A MISTAKE.

[Anna] MOTHER, THE DOCTOR SAID YOU SHOULD STAY IN BED.

WHAT KIND OF CAR DOES HE DRIVE?

I DON'T KNOW. IT'S TOO COLD.

[Bicycle bell ringing]

[Both] OH, MY GOD!

[Jesus] POLO!

MARCO.

[Nina laughs]

POLO.

[Lily] THEY'RE HERE.

THEY'RE HERE!

[Jesus] READY? 1, 2, 3,

TURN, TURN! TURN!

UPHILL! UPHILL! UPHILL! UPHILL! UPHILL! UPHILL!

WHAT IS SHE DOING?

SLOW, SLOW, SLOW, SLOW.

SLOW, SLOW.

ARE YOU READY? CAN YOU GET OFF?

YEAH.

AUNT NINI, YOU'RE RIDING A BIKE!

DID YOU SEE IT?

IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING FEELING.

IT WAS LIKE I WAS FLYING.

THE WIND WAS BLOWING IN MY HAIR.

THAT'S WONDERFUL, DARLING!

THAT CAN'T BE SAFE.

[Nina] OH, IT'S PERFECTLY SAFE.

WE PUT PLAYING CARDS IN THE SPOKES SO I COULD HEAR

AND THEN I JUST FOLLOW THE SOUND.

OH, THIS IS JESUS, EVERYBODY.

HI.

HELLO.

THEY'RE HIS CARDS.

I LIKE YOUR FAMILY.

THEY LIKE YOU, TOO.

EXCEPT FOR YOUR SISTER.

[Nina] OH, WHO, KAREN?

NO, KAREN HATES EVERYBODY.

BUT ANNA, WHOO, SHE'S A COLD ONE.

OH, NO, ANNA'S OK.

SHE JUST ACTS LIKE AN OLD LADY SOMETIMES,

THAT'S ALL.

WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

TYING A SCARF AROUND MY EYES.

WHAT FOR?

I WANT TO TRY SOMETHING.

WHAT?

I WANT TO BE BLIND, LIKE YOU.

DON'T BE STUPID!

I'M NOT. I WANT TO SEE WHAT IT'S LIKE.

YOU CAN'T.

YES, I CAN.

WHEN I'M AT WORK, I--I CLOSE MY EYES

AND I DO ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

IT'S NOT THE SAME THING.

I'M READY.

OK, HOW DO YOU DO THIS?

ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT, STAND STILL.

OK.STAND VERY STILL.

OK.

NOW WALK SLOWLY TOWARDS THE SOUND OF MY VOICE.

TAKE YOUR TIME. HOLD ON, HOLD ON,

THERE'S SOMETHING IN FRONT OF YOU.

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?

BECAUSE I PUT IT THERE.

YOU TAKE IT. GO ON, NO, YOU TAKE IT.

GO ON, REALLY, IT'S YOURS, I INSIST.

IT'S SO NICE.

SWEETHEART?

BABY, PUT THE-- PUT THE GUN DOWN.

YOU THINK MY MOTHER WOULD STILL BE ALIVE?

NO. NO, NO.

SHE ADORED YOU.

WELL, YOU WERE RIGHT, WHAT YOU SAID.

WHAT DID I SAY?

ABOUT PASSION!

ABOUT HOW WE RUN INTO PASSION BLINDLY.

HOW WE LOSE OUR PERSPECTIVE AND THEN,

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, REAL LIFE HAPPENS,

AND CATCHES UP AND CHANGES EVERYTHING.

YES, IT DOES.

EVERYTHING COMES CRASHING DOWN.

ABOUT US?

YES, ABOUT US. WHAT DID HE SAY?

YES, I DID, AND...

HE SAID IT'S ALREADY FORGOTTEN.

HE CAN... HE CAN FORGET SOMETHING LIKE THAT EVER HAPPENED.

I WISH I COULD BE MORE LIKE THAT.

I WISH I COULD BE MORE CONTROLLED.

WHAT WERE YOU GONNA TELL US?

I WAS GONNA SAY THAT ANNA AND I

ARE FLYING TO PARIS TO GET MARRIED.

PARIS! HOW ROMANTIC.WOW!

THAT'S WONDERFUL.

I'M HAPPY FOR YOU, DARLING.

THANKS, DAD.

SUNDAY.

SUNDAY. THAT SOON?

DOES ANYBODY WANT MORE COFFEE?

I'LL HAVE SOME.

[Richard] NO.

NINA?

WHAT DID YOU WANT TO SEE ME ABOUT?

I HAVE TO GET HOME AND PACK.

JESUS FINISHED READING ANNA KARENINA TO ME.

YOU DIDN'T ASK ME HERE TO TELL ME THAT.

MOTHER WAS WRONG.

IT'S NOT A GREAT LOVE STORY.

IT'S A STUPID LOVE STORY.

IS IT?YES.

SHE THROWS HERSELF UNDER A TRAIN.

I'VE READ IT.

BUT EVEN AFTER SHE DID IT,

SHE REALIZES SHE MADE A MISTAKE.

SHE TRIES TO GET OUT, BUT IT'S TOO LATE.

WHAT'S YOUR POINT, NINA?

DON'T GO TO PARIS.

AND-- AND WHAT SHOULD I DO INSTEAD?

FIND DANNY. GO WITH HIM.

YOU'RE BEING CHILDISH!

I'M NOT BEING CHILDISH. YOU DON'T LOVE ERIC.

YES, I DO...

IN MY WAY.

AND WHAT WAY IS THAT?

I CAN'T EXPLAIN IT TO YOU RIGHT NOW.

BESIDES, THERE ARE OTHER THINGS INVOLVED.

WHAT THINGS?

KAREN, FATHER, BILLY, YOU.

DON'T HIDE BEHIND US, ANNA.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN HIDE BEHIND YOU?

WE DON'T NEED YOU.

YOU DON'T NEED ME?

HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT TO ME?

MY GOD! I HAVE NURSED YOU ALL WHEN YOU WERE SICK!

I'VE GIVEN YOU MONEY.

I'VE TAKEN CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN.

I'VE LIED FOR YOU!

AND YOU JUST STAND THERE AND SAY

YOU DON'T NEED ME?

BECAUSE WE DON'T.

LOOK, IT'S NOT THE SAME.

EVERYTHING'S CHANGED.

WHAT? WHAT'S CHANGED?

EVERYTHING. EVERYONE.

DANNY'S LOVE FOR YOU IS SO ENORMOUS,

IT SPILLED OVER ONTO EVERYONE ELSE.

HE'S CHANGED YOU, TOO...

ONLY YOU'RE THE LAST ONE TO NOTICE IT.

IT'S THE MOSAIC DANNY WORKED ON.

JESUS DESCRIBED IT TO ME YESTERDAY.

YOU LOVE HIM.

OF COURSE I LOVE HIM.

OF COURSE I DO.

BUT I'M SCARED.

ANNA...

I'VE BEEN SCARED MY WHOLE LIFE.

IT'S ONLY NOW...

THAT I'M IN LOVE I'M NOT SCARED.

WELL, WHERE DID HE SAY HE WAS GOING?

I DON'T KNOW.

SHE TOOK MY RING DING.

DID NOT!

DID YOU TAKE HIS RING DING?

KAREN, PLEASE, THINK.

UM,

ATLANTA. HE SAID THERE WAS WORK THERE.

[Anna] DID HE SAY HOW HE WAS GETTING THERE?

YEAH, THE TRAIN, I THINK. YEAH, THE TRAIN.

NO. LISTEN.

I'M REALLY SORRY.

LISTEN. MY MOTHER WAS RIGHT.

SHE SAID IT WAS MY TURN TO DO SOMETHING EXTRAORDINARY,

AND I'M DOING IT.

I'M HERE AT A TRAIN STATION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT,

LIKE A CHARACTER IN ONE OF HER RUSSIAN NOVELS,

AND I'M BEGGING YOU.

TO DO WHAT?

TO TAKE ME WITH YOU.

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE I'M GOING, ANNA.

I DON'T CARE!

NO, ANNA. LISTEN TO YOURSELF.

THIS IS PASSION. PASSION TALKING.

I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT. BELIEVE ME.

AND IT FEELS FUN.

YOU DO THESE STUPID THINGS LIKE THIS.

BUT IN THE END, IT DOESN'T WORK.

IT WON'T LAST.

WHAT HAVE I DONE TO YOU?

WHAT?

WELL, IS THAT BAD?

YES.

IT'S TERRIBLE.

I'M SORRY.

WAIT.

WE'LL LET FATE DECIDE.

AND TAILS, YOU CAN GO AWAY,
