>> Man: I WAS EATING A TOMATO AT TEATIME A FEW WEEKS AGO AND I SUDDENLY REALIZED THAT
MUMMY IS NOT DEAD AT ALL.
JUST VERY, VERY MYSTERIOUS.
[¶...]
>> Mummy: [HUMMING...]
>> Man: PAPA SPOKE LANGUAGES,
CLIMBED MOUNTAINS.
[CLICK]
HE WAS AN ADVENTURER.
[¶...]
BUT MUMMY WAS SUCH A GIFTED
PERSON SOCIALLY.
AND SHE WAS A MASTER OF THE UNDERSTATEMENT... [CLICK]
AN ADVENTURESS...
[¶...]
AND HE WAS COLD AND DARK...
AND SHE WAS WARM AND LIGHT. [¶...]
AND I WAS LITTLE TONY. [MUMMY MURMURS TO BABY] [PHONE RINGS...]
I WAS THE STEAM
WHEN HOT MEETS COLD.
[PHONE RINGS]
>> Mummy: MIDGE? WELL, HELLO.
THE REASON THAT I CALLED,
DARLING, IS THAT ASCHWIN,
PRINCE ASCHWIN LIPPE?
HIS BROTHER IS PRINCE BERNHARD?
WELL, HE THOUGHT, ASCHWIN
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE LOVELY TO
MEET AT THE STORK CLUB TONIGHT.
AND HE SO WANTS TO KNOW YOU AND
JOOST AND ASKED IF I COULD...
WELL, OF COURSE.
SHALL WE SAY... 10:30?
IS THAT TOO CONTINENTAL?
[LAUGHS]
BE AS CATTY AS YOU WANT,
BUT TONY CAN HEAR EVERY WORD
YOU'RE SAYING.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE WORLD HE'S
GROWING UP INTO?
BROOKS AND I WILL SEE
YOU TONIGHT.
[SHE HANGS UP]
BROOKS... DARLING...
>> I GATHER THAT YOU'RE MAKING COMMITMENTS FOR ME. [¶...]
SANS PERMISSION,
SANS CONSULTATION.
>> PRINCE ASCHWIN DE LIPPE, PLEASE. YOU MAY SAY BARBARA BAEKELAND
IS CALLING.
DON'T GET DIFFICULT,
NOT TONIGHT, DARLING.
PLEASE FORGIVE THE INTRUSION AND
THE DAMNABLY SHORT NOTICE BUT WE
ARE HAVING LATE SUPPER TONIGHT
WITH MIDGE AND JOOST VAN DEN
HEUVEL AND THEY WOULD SO LIKE
THE PLEASURE OF YOUR COMPANY.
THEY'LL BE DELIGHTED.
AS WILL I.
AS WILL BROOKS. [LIGHTER SNAPS SHUT]
THANK YOU, DARLING. >> Tony: AND PEOPLE SAY NOW THAT I MUST'VE HATED THEM BECAUSE OF
WHAT...
[LIGHTER SNAPS SHUT]
TRANSPIRED...
>> Barbara: WE WON'T BE BACK TOO
LATE, I PROMISE.
>> Tony: BUT EVERYTHING THAT
HAPPENED... HAPPENED BECAUSE
OF LOVE.
>> DO I...
DO I LOOK LIKE A MONKEY TO YOU?
THEN WHY ON EARTH SHOULD I GET DRESSED UP IN A FUCKING MONKEY SUIT JUST TO EAT?
>> YOU DON'T HAVE TO WEAR YOUR
TUX, AND NO NEED TO BE VULGAR.
>> IN FRONT OF THE B-O-Y?
>> JUST WEAR YOUR UNIFORM.
>> I WILL NOT.
>> YOU LOOK SO HANDSOME, SO
DASHING IN YOUR UNIFORM.
>> THE WAR IS OVER.
HAVE YOU NOT HEARD?
>> YOU HAVE A RIGHT.
YOU WON THE WAR, I MEAN, YOU
VOLUNTEERED, SO YOU HAVE A RIGHT
TO WEAR YOUR UNIFORM.
YOU FATHER LOOKED SO HANDSOME, SO DASHING... SO DASHING.
>> IS THE LITTLE PARAGON COMING WITH OR DO YOU PLAN ON LEAVING HIM HERE ALONE?
>> NINI WILL BE HERE AT NINE.
>> IN THAT CASE, I'M GLAD THAT
I SHALL BE DINING OUT.
[TONY GURGLES]
[COOING] >> Woman: TONE... TONY, TONY, TONY...
>> MOTHER, DO YOU THINK WE
SHOULD CALL HIM "ANTONY"?
>> ANTONY WILL BE HIS FULL
NAME, HIS FORMAL NAME, HIS NAME
TO THE WORLD.
AND TONY WILL BE HIS NAME AS A
CHILD... AND AMONG INTIMATES.
>> WHEN I REFER TO HIM...
WHEN I AM ASKED IF I HAVE
A PHOTOGRAPH...
DO I SAY...
>> YOU SAY, "THIS IS TONY."
AND THEY WILL SAY,
"WHAT AN ANGEL."
>> OH, YES.
AN ANGEL, WHAT AN ANGEL.
WHAT AN ANGEL YOU ARE.
[TONY GURGLES]
WE MAY BE OUT LATE.
>> "SHALL."
>> OH YES, YOUR MOTHER LOVES YOU... MMM... [KISSING, COOING]
>> BARBARA.
[BATH WATER SPLASHES] GOOD NIGHT, TONY. YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS.
>> ENJOY THE STORK CLUB.
AND YOU MAY STAY OUT AS LATE AS
YOU WISH.

[TONY GURGLES, VOCALIZES]
[BIG BAND DANCE MUSIC PLAYS...] [GENERAL CONVERSATION...]
>> MR. AND MRS. BAEKELAND, RIGHT THIS WAY. [¶...]
>> HELLO. [KISS] WONDERFUL TO SEE YOU.
HOW DO YOU DO?
[¶...]
I'M BARBARA.
>> Woman: SIMONE.
>> HOW DO YOU DO?
[¶...]
...WHY, IT WAS WITH DIETER THAT BROOKS WENT ON HIS GREAT ADVENTURE... IN PERU.
IN THE VILLA...
[SIGHS] DARLING, YOU KNOW I'M
NOT AT MY BEST WITH GEOGRAPHY.
BROOKS, HELP ME. VILLA...? >> DARLING, DON'T PRESS.
MAYBE YOUR HUSBAND DOESN'T FEEL
LIKE IN MIDST OF DINNER.
>> BROOKS, PLEASE, IF YOU DON'T
FEEL LIKE PERFORMING...
>> VILCABAMBA. >> AH.
>> DIETER AND I, WE WENT TO THE VILCABAMBA IN PERU.
>> SO TELL US, MAN, WHAT WAS YOUR "LITTLE" ADVENTURE?
>> IT WAS NOTHING.
WELL, I LIE. IT WAS SOMETHING. [ALL CHUCKLE,
BARBARA LAUGHS LOUDEST]
I WAS INTRIGUED BY A
400-YEAR-OLD MYSTERY: WHAT
BECAME OF MANCO INCA.
I WANTED TO FIND THE RUINS
OF THE LOST CITY.
>> THIS IS ACTUALLY TRUE.
GIVE HIM A DIRT ROAD AND HE'LL
GO UP IT.
[ALL LAUGH]
>> Lippe: THAT'S VERY GOOD.
[APPLAUSE FOR THE BAND...]
[¶...]
[GLASSES CLINK]
WOULD YOU, SIMONE? >> OH, I DON'T KNOW. >> YOUR HUSBAND ASKED YOU
A QUESTION.
>> THIS SEEMS... UNFAIR.
THIS SEEMS... [CHERRY PLOPS
INTO DRINK] TEDIOUS.
>> HMM... BUT WOULD YOU?
>> YES, WOULD YOU?
>> WOULD I EAT A POUND OF HUMAN FLESH FOR $10 MILLION? NO, I WOULD NOT.
I HAVE EATEN HORSE FLESH, YOU KNOW. >> THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
EATING THE CHEVAL ANDNCE BETWEEN
EATING THE CHEVALIER.
[CHUCKLING]
>> BROOKS, FOR $10 MILLION,
WOULD YOU SLEEP WITH SIMONE?
FOR $10 MILLION, WOULD YOU-- >> DON'T, BARBARA, PLEASE. DON'T BE TEDIOUS.
>> WOULD YOU GO HOME WITH THE FIRST PERSON THAT YOU MET, GOING THROUGH A NIGHT CLUB DOOR?
>> YES, I WOULD.
SO... SHALL WE GET ON WITH OUR DRINKS? >> BROOKS, BARBARA, HAVE YOU
EVER BEEN TO THE ENGADIN?
>> OH, I WAS PRACTICALLY BORN
IN GSTAAD!
>> SHE PRACTICALLY LOVES
THE SKI INSTRUCTORS.
[BARBARA LAUGHS...] [¶...]
>> Man: THANK YOU FOR COMING THIS EVENING. >> Barbara: GOOD-BYE.
[¶...]
>> Brooks: BARBARA.
>> YOU SAID THAT YOU WOULD GO
HOME WITH THE FIRST PERSON THAT
YOU MET GOING THROUGH
A NIGHT CLUB DOOR--
>> NO, I SAID--
>> SO I THOUGHT I MIGHT GO HOME
WITH THE FIRST PERSON... HELLO!
HELLO, I'M AWFULLY THIRSTY,
WOULD YOU BUY ME A DRINK?
ASCHWIN, SIMONE...
>> [ANGRILY]: BARBARA.
>> BROOKS.
[TAXI ENGINE RUNNING,
HORN HONKS]
...LOVELY TO SEE YOU ALL.
[BARBARA LAUGHS,
[¶...]
>> NINI? >> OH, I'M SORRY. >> QUITE ALL RIGHT.
>> I'M SORRY.
I MUST HAVE-- >> YOU FELL ASLEEP, QUITE NATURAL.
IT'S LATE, IT GOT LATE, YOU FELL ASLEEP.
I TRUST YOUR EVENING WAS-- >> OH, WE HAD A FINE TIME.
>> I CAN HOLD DOWN THE FORT.
>> WHERE'S BARBARA? >> SHE'S RETURNING SEPARATELY. MAY I GET YOUR COAT?
>> I'LL JUST GO.
AND WAS THE PRINCE THERE?
>> EXCUSE ME?
>> THE PRINCE. THE PRINCE OF AMSTERDAM. >> AH.
>> WAS HE THERE?
>> I THINK YOU'RE THINKING OF
PRINCE BERNHARD, PRINCE BERNHARD
OF THE NETHERLANDS.
HE WAS COUNT LIPPE-BIESTERFELD, OF COURSE, BEFORE HE MARRIED JULIANA.
THE MAN WITH WHOM WE DINED,
ASCHWIN LIPPE, IS JUST
ASCHWIN LIPPE, YOUNGER BROTHER,
A PRINCE IN TITLE,
BUT NOT IN ANY WAY...
>> OH, BECAUSE BARBARA SAID--
>> "BARBARA SAID."
DECENT MAN, NONETHELESS.
>> I SEE.
>> Brooks: GOOD MAN.

[BARBARA KISSES TONY] [¶...]
[TONY COOS] >> OH YES, OH YES.
HEY KID.
AH, WHAT A LIFE.
THIRSTY? HMM, THIRSTY BOY?
TONY A THIRSTY BOY?
>> Tony: PAPA USED TO SAY, "FOR $2, THE COURT FEE, AND $10 FOR A WEDDING BAND,
I MADE YOUR MUMMY INTO
'MRS. BROOKS BAEKELAND'...
[¶...]
S'IL VOUS PLAIT!
>> Tony: "...AND MYSELF
FOR THE NEXT 30 YEARS
INTO 'BARBARA'S HUSBAND.'"
[POLICEMAN SPEAKING FRENCH]
[¶...]
>> OH... YOU ARE AN ANGEL. >> WHERE'S PAPA? >> HE WENT TO VISIT DURAN.
>> WHAT SHALL WE DO TODAY?
>> AH, WELL, TONIGHT WE'RE GOING TO L'HIPPO, WITH MARCEL AND HIS WIFE TEENY, YOU REMEMBER THEM.
[TONY SPEAKS FRENCH]
...ANGLAIS, S'IL VOUS PLAIT. >> THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE VERY MUCH FUN FOR A KID.
>> WELL, YOU DON'T HAVE TO COME.
>> BUT WHEN YOU
LEAVE ME ALONE...
>> TONY.
>> I FEEL NO BIGGER
THAN A LIMA BEAN.
>> OH... YOU WON'T BE ALONE.
YOU'LL BE WITH CLOTHILDE.
>> WELL, MAYBE SINCE I'LL BE
WITH BORING CLOTHILDE, WE CAN
BALANCE IT OUT WITH SOMETHING
MORE FUN DURING THE DAY?
>> AH, I SEE WHERE
THIS IS GOING.
YOUR MOTHER NEEDS TIME TO PAINT.
>> I WOULD LIKE TO GO ON
THE FERRIS WHEEL. >> REALLY.
>> AND THEN FOR LUNCH,
I WOULD LIKE SOME ICE CREAM.
>> AH!
BUT YOU HAD ICE CREAM
FOR BREAKFAST.
[BOTH LAUGH]
[KISSING]
>> MMM... MWAH!
[BARBARA LAUGHS]
>> PLEASE DON'T TELL PAPA.
>> I WON'T.
IT WILL BE OUR SECRET, AS WILL
THE ASPIRINS YOU ARE GOING TO
FETCH FROM THE CABINET.
>> FROM THE BATHROOM,
NEXT TO THE SINK.
>> YOUR MOTHER HAS A SHOCKING HANGOVER.
>> MUMMY...
I SHALL CURE YOU.
[FOILS CLASHING] [FENCERS GRUNTING]
>> HEH-- OH!
>> HA! >> HEY, O.K., O.K.-- OOF! I CONCEDE, I RESIGN.
>> WELL, SIR, I'M PRETTY EXPERT.
SO THERE'S NO EMBARRASSMENT IN
LOSING, IF THAT'S A CONCERN.
>> HOO! [PANTING] >> Barbara: DO YOU LOVE ME? >> Tony: OF COURSE.
>> WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME WHEN
MY HAIR IS GRAY AND MY TITS
ARE SAGGING?
>> WELL, OF COURSE.
[¶...]
DO YOU REMEMBER THE DOG?
>> WHAT DOG?
WHICH DOG?
>> THE ONE WE HAD IN ITALY.
>> GIOTTO.
>> I REMEMBER WHEN GIOTTO DIED. >> HE WAS OLD. >> NO, HE WASN'T.
>> IN DOG YEARS.
WE STILL HAVE HIS COLLAR. >> I KNOW. >> SOMEWHERE.
>> I KNOW WHERE.
>> Brooks: LEO WAS FAMOUS.
NOT LIKE YOU'RE FAMOUS, OF COURSE. >> OH WELL, I'M NOT...
>> OH, FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.
YOU WON THE PREMIO NADAL,
YOU KNOW PICASSO,
YOU KNOW CAMUS,
YOU KNOW MALRAUX, YOU KNOW
DALI...
>> PILAR KNOWS THEM.
I JUST WRITE.
>> WHAT I'M SAYING, CARLOS, IS
THAT LEO'S FAME, LIKE YOURS, WAS
A FUNCTION OF ACHIEVEMENT, CAME
FROM WHAT HE DID.
SO HIS STROKE, LEO'S STROKE OF GENIUS, WAS THE NOTION THAT THE FORMALDEHYDE MIGHT STABILIZE THE
PHENOL, GIVE IT STRENGTH,
COHESION, SOLIDITY, BUT THEY
NEVER REALLY MIXED, AND IT WAS
LEO WHO THOUGHT, "LET'S TRY
PUTTING IT UNDER PRESSURE."
POOF-- LONG CHAIN MOLECULES.
BAKELITE-- PLASTIC.
THE TELEPHONE, BRACELETS, RADIOS, RECORDS, COFFINS, SUBMARINES, THE HOUSING FOR THE
ATOM BOMB, THE WORLD AS WE KNOW
IT TODAY.
>> THAT WAS YOUR FATHER? >> NO, THAT WAS MY GRANDFATHER. MY FATHER IS AS MY GRANDFATHER.
CRAPULE.
MY GRANDFATHER DECIDEDLY
WAS NOT.
>> WHAT DOES PAPA DO? >> HOW DO YOU MEAN? >> WELL, FRANCOIS AT THE--
>> THE ECOLE?
>> FRANCOIS ASKED ME--
>> AND YOU CAN TELL HIM
"MY FATHER WRITES."
"MY FATHER EXPLORES."
"MY FATHER HAS A VERY REFINED
KNOWLEDGE OF MATHEMATICS."
>> OH.
>> AND YOU CAN TELL HIM THAT
YOUR MOTHER WAS ALMOST
A MOVIE STAR.
[MEN GRUNTING]
>> DO YOU FIND MY WIFE ATTRACTIVE?
MOST MEN DO.
BUT WHAT SHE DOESN'T...
WHAT BARBARA DOESN'T REALIZE...
IS THAT WOMEN FIND ME...
YOU KNOW...
ATTRACTIVE.
>> Barbara: SOME PEOPLE'S FATHERS, SOME PEOPLE'S MOTHERS, THEY HAVE TO GO TO AN OFFICE OR
A FACTORY OR A STORE, I GUESS,
EVERY DAY, BUT WE ARE FORTUNATE.
[CHILD LAUGHS]
BECAUSE WHAT WE DO
IS WHAT WE LOVE.
WHAT DOES FRANCOIS'S FATHER DO?
>> HE WORKS. >> AH, WELL, WE WORKED. I MEAN, FATHER WORKED, NINI
WORKED, THERE WAS NO OTHER WAY--
I KIND OF HAD TO RAISE MYSELF
AND THEN I WORKED TOO.
AT FILENE'S.
THEN WHEN I COULD, I LEFT.
I JUST LEFT.
NINI WANTED WHAT WAS BEST FOR ME, ONLY WHAT WAS BEST FOR ME. "FIND THE MUN," SHE'D SAY.
SHE MEANT "MEN," I GUESS,
AND SHE MEANT "MONEY."
THE RICH, THEY DON'T HAVE PET NAMES FOR MONEY. >> DID YOU KNOW LEONARDO
DA VINCI WROTE BACKWARDS?
SO HE COULD ONLY READ IT
IN THE MIRROR.
[¶...]
[SPEAKING SPANISH...]
>> Barbara: ENTREZ... >> Carlos: HI. >> CARLOS!
[BIRDS CHIRPING...]
PILAR!
MY, YOU'RE LOOKING SWELL.
>> Pilar: GRACIAS. SWELL.
MRS. BAEKELAND, PERMIT ME TO
INTRODUCE MONSIEUR SOUVESTRE.
>> JEAN-PIERRE, I AM SO HAPPY
TO MEET YOU.
PLEASE, COME IN.
I HAVE BEEN DYING TO ASK YOU ABOUT MARCEL PROUST, THE BIOGRAPHY OF WHOM, WRITTEN BY
YOURSELF, I HAVE YET TO READ AS
MY FRENCH READING SKILLS ARE NOT
WHAT THEY WILL BE.
>> IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO
APOLOGIZE FOR THAT.
>> BROOKS, OF COURSE, READS THE
LANGUAGE LIKE A NATIVE, AND OUR
TONY IS MASTERING IT EVERY DAY
AT THE ECOLE BILANGUE, BUT FOR
POOR MOI, I MUST CONFESS, IT'S
BEEN A STRUGGLE, N'EST-CE PAS?
>> UNDERSTOOD.
>> WHAT WAS I SAYING?
OH, YES.
JEAN-PIERRE, WAS PROUST TRULY
A HOMOSEXUAL?
QU'EST-CE QUE TU PENSES?
>> SO YOU MET CARLOS HERE, IN PARIS. >> Pilar: I WAS AT
THE SORBONNE...
THE ADORING GRADUATE STUDENT
WRITING ABOUT HIS WORK.
BUT, THEN...
WE WOKE UP ONE MORNING AND NONE OF THAT SEEMED TO MATTER. I THINK I KNEW HE WAS SERIOUS
WHEN HE INTRODUCED ME TO MARCEL
AND TEENY DUCHAMP.
>> OH, I RAN INTO THEM TODAY AT
L'EQUIPE.
THEY SAID THEY MIGHT STOP
OVER, LATER.
JE PEUX LUI TELEPHONER?
>> YOU MAY BE ASSURED THEY WERE
ONLY BEING POLITE.
>> I DON'T WANT TO BE IMPOLITE, BUT MONSIEUR SOUVESTRE HAS THE EARLY DAY TOMORROW.
HE'S OFF TO VITTEL.
>> IT IS REGRETTABLE, BUT WHAT MRS. DURAN SAYS IS THE TRUTH. >> A PETIT CAFE FOR THE ROAD?
AND YOU'VE YET TO MEET TONY.
EXCUSEZ-MOI...
>> Souvestre, quietly:
>> MONSIEUR SOUVESTRE, PERMETTEZ-MOI DE VOUS PRESENTER MON FILS, TONY.
DID I GET IT RIGHT?
DID I GET THE ORDER RIGHT?
>> THE YOUNGER IS PRESENTED TO
THE OLDER, THE LESS
DISTINGUISHED TO THE MORE SO.
THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE: THE
GENTLEMAN IS ALWAYS PRESENTED
TO THE LADY.
THE EXCEPTION TO THE EXCEPTION:
UNLESS THE MAN IS A PRESIDENT,
A CARDINAL, OR A REIGNING
SOVEREIGN.
>> SO THEN IT'S RIGHT.
WELL, EVERYONE, THIS IS TONY. SAY HELLO. >> BUENOS NOCHES, SEÑOR
Y SEÑORA DURAN.
>> BUENOS NOCHES.
>> BONSOIR, MONSIEUR SOUVESTRE.
ENCHANTE DE FAIRE VOTRE
CONNAISSANCE.AIRE VOTRE
>> Souvestre: HMM, BONSOIR.
>> Barbara: I TOLD YOU HIS
FRENCH WAS BETTER THAN MINE.
NOW, PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE TO
READ SOMETHING.
>> PERHAPS TONY WOULD PREFER TO GET HIS SLEEP. ESPECIALLY AS MONSIEUR SOUVESTRE
HAS AN EARLY START.
>> Barbara, whispering: PLEASE.
[NORMAL VOICE]: FOR ME.
[¶...]
>> Pilar: THANK YOU, TONY. IT WAS GRACIOUS OF YOU TO VOLUNTEER.
>> YOU ARE WELCOME, SEÑORA.
>> Pilar: YOUR MOTHER IS A BIT
TIRED, AS ARE WE...
AS, I'M SURE, ARE YOU.
>> UM...
>> THEN WE CALL IT AN EVENING.
AS YOUR FRIEND, MONSIEUR
DUCHAMP, SAYS...
YOUR HUSBAND, OR YOUR SON, WILL TRANSLATE. >> Barbara: DON'T YOU DARE.
DON'T YOU DARE CONDESCEND TO ME. THE FUCKING FRENCH, YOU KNOW? THEY TELL YOU HOW TO RAISE YOUR
CHILD AND WHEN YOUR BACK IS
TURNED, THEY STARE AT YOUR ASS!
YES, "CUL!"Y STARE AT YOUR ASS!
I KNOW THE WORD!
IT'S SICK.
THIS SOCIETY IS SICK.
EXCUSE ME.
"MOU-VAY!"
[DOG BARKS, BIRDS CHIRPING...] >> Brooks: I SHALL BE LEAVING TOO.

FROM THE ECOLE BILANGUE.
>> I KNOW WHERE HE'S FROM.
>> WHEN YOU LEFT-- AND THEN WHEN MUMMY LEFT-- I DIDN'T WANT TO BE ALONE, SO I CALLED FRANCOIS
AND HE CAME OVER.
WE LISTENED TO THE RADIO.
IT WAS BOULEZ.
ONE OF THOSE POEMS BY RENE CHAR,
WHICH BOULEZ SET TO MUSIC?
I RATHER LIKE BOULEZ,
DON'T YOU, MUMMY?
I KNOW THAT SOME CONSIDER HIM
ATONAL AND ALL THAT-- BUT I
THINK THEY JUST DON'T KNOW HOW
TO LISTEN OR WHAT TO LISTEN FOR.
>> YOUR FRIEND LEAVES...

BUT SOMETIMES I YEARN FOR THE BROWN. [WAVES CRASHING...]

>> FUSSING, ALWAYS
MAKING A FUSS.
>> NOT ALL WOMEN.
>> DAMN NEAR ALL.
ALWAYS TELLING US, YOU KNOW?
ALWAYS TELLING US WHERE TO PUT OUR COCKS... WHERE NOT TO...
SO FORTH. [DICE ROLLING] I DON'T NEED TO TELL YOU,
YOU'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW.
>> SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING? [WAVES CRASHING, SEAGULLS CAWING]
>> YOU'LL SOON BE...
HELL, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN. I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A PIECE OF...
WHAT FATHERS TELL SONS.
[DICE ROLLING] >> WELL, THANKS. >> I MEAN, YOUR MOTHER WAS
AN ACTRESS...
IN SOME WAYS,
IS AN ACTRESS.
WILL MOSTLY LIKELY BE...
>> MUMMY CAN BE HISTRIONIC,
BUT SHE'S NOT...
>> DON'T DEFEND HER.
YOU NEEDN'T DEFEND HER.
YOU LOVE HER, AS DO I, BUT FOR
THE MOMENT, WE'RE SITTING HERE,
BROOKS AND ANTONY, TWO MEN.
HAD SHE BEEN ON TIME, WE'D NEVER HAVE HAD THIS DISCUSSION.
[WAVES CRASHING...]

WHAT'S SHE LIKE?
>> Tony: I DON'T KNOW.
SHE'S SPANISH.
>> Brooks: WELL, WITH A NAME
LIKE "BLANCA..."
>> BLANCA WHAT?
>> I DON'T KNOW BLANCA WHAT.
THIS IS NOT A CITY, IT'S A PORT,
SO WHEN WE GET TOGETHER AND WE
HANG OUT, IT'S TYPICALLY ON
A FIRST-NAME BASIS.
AND IF WHAT YOU'RE ASKING IS DOES SHE COME FROM BONNE FAMILLE...
YOU KNOW, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE
ASKING, WELL...
AREN'T THERE ENOUGH COUNTS AND COUNTESSES IN THAT STACK OF CARTES DE VISITE IN THE FOYER,

[BIRDS CHIRPING...]
[ENGINE REVVING...]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[ENGINE REVVING...] [GENERAL CONVERSATION...] >> Brooks: THE DISCOVERY,
THAT WAS 1907.
IN LESS THAN 10 YEARS, MY
GRANDFATHER WAS A VERY
WEALTHY MAN.
1924, HIS FACE ON THE COVER OF
TIME MAGAZINE.
1930, COCO CHANEL MAKES ALL HER
MANNEQUINS WEAR BAKELITE
ACCESSORIES.
THEN CAME THE DEPRESSION, WHICH
HIT EVERYONE EXCEPT THE
BAEKELANDS, WE WERE HEADED THE
OTHER DIRECTION...
OUR TRIUMPH AND OF COURSE, OUR DOWNFALL.
>> HOW DO YOU MEAN?
>> LEO KNEW THE SOCIAL REGISTER,
BUT IT WASN'T WHAT MOVED HIM, IT WASN'T WHAT HE PRIZED. TO HIM, ALL THAT WAS JUST
LA PARADE.
BUT NOT TO GEORGE, HIS SON,
MY FATHER.
HE VALUED ALL THAT TO A FAULT,
AND IN THE PROCESS,
LOST EVERYTHING.
>> Barbara: CAMARERO!
[SNAPS FINGERS]
NO ONE HERE IS DRINKING ENOUGH.
ANOTHER ROUND OVER HERE.

HALF YOUR AGE.
SHE LOOKED AT TONY, LOOKED AT
YOU, THOUGHT FOR ABOUT FIVE
SECONDS--D AT TONY, LOOKED AT
CINCO SEGUNDOS--
AND SAID TO HERSELF, "HA!
THAT'S WHERE THE MONEY IS!"
¿ENTIENDES?
YOU GO ON AND ON AND ON ABOUT
YOUR GRANDFATHER AND THE LIFE
OF THE FUCKING MIND.
I GO AWAY FOR ONE WEEK, AND WHAT
DO YOU DO?

SOMETHING VERY INTELLECTUAL,
VERY INTELLECTUAL INDEED.
OH, OH, DOES HE FUCK YOU
UP THE ASS?
¿POR EL CULO?
[CROWD REACTS]
THAT'S WHAT HE LIKES, YOU KNOW?
HE THINKS IT'S VERY MANLY.
I THINK...
QUITE THE OPPOSITE.
SHE BATS HER EYES AT YOU
AND SAYS, "OH, BROOKS, YOU...
YOU BIG MAN, YOU..." AND YOU HONOR THE GREAT BAEKELAND TRADITION BY
FUCKING HER.
[SOFTLY] O.K., FUCK HER, FUCK HER... I UNDERSTAND... BUT LEAVE ME?
BREAK MY HEART?
BREAK TONY'S?
>> HE NEVER BROKE
TONY'S HEART...
AND NEITHER DID I.
>> MUCH OF WHAT YOU'VE JUST SAID IS AN AMALGAM OF PARANOIA AND SPITE.

>> I'M SORRY.
>> ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM?
ARE YOU TAKING HIS SIDE?
>> Jake: YOU MUST HAVE HAD
A LONG DRIVE.
WHY DON'T YOU SIT DOWN AND LET
ME POUR YOU SOMETHING TO
DRINK, O.K.?
[WIND CHIMES CLINKING LIGHTLY]
>> SO I TOLD SAM YOU'D BE JOINING US FOR DINNER.
I'LL SEE YOU AROUND NINE.
HOW CAN YOU LIVE IN THIS SHIT HOLE?
[BEADED CURTAIN RUSTLES]
[BOTH CHUCKLING]
>> Tony: SAM WAS OFTEN CALLED A WALKER...
ONE OF THOSE HOMOSEXUALS WHO
ESCORT WEALTHY WOMEN TO DINNER
OR TO THE OPERA WHEN THEIR
HUSBANDS ARE NOT ABLE.
BUT SAM'S DEVOTION TO BARBARA
WAS NEVER ABOUT THE MONEY.
IN FACT, HE LIKED US MORE WHEN
THERE WAS LESS OF IT.
>> Sam: DO YOU REMEMBER HOW IT
WAS WITH MAXIME DE LA FALAISE?
THERE WAS A DIFFICULT PERIOD.
I HELPED HER, AS MUCH AS I
COULD, A FEW OF US, WE DID WHAT
WE COULD AND... NOW, WELL,
NO ONE REMEMBERS THE SAD PERIOD
NOW, DO THEY?
[CORK POPS, BIRDS CHIRPING]
THESE ARE THE FACTS WE HAVE
TO FACE.
ONE, WE ARE DEALING WITH AN
INSECURE AND CAPRICIOUS CROWD
WHO, GIVEN ANY DOUBT OR
HESITATION, WILL ALWAYS FOLLOW
THE MONEY... IN THIS CASE,
MEANING BROOKS.
SECOND-- AND THIS IS IN YOUR FAVOR-- YOU WERE, TO ANY SENSIBLE OBSERVER, THE CHARM AND
VIVACITY OF THE COUPLE.
SO, WE MUST MAKE THAT WORK TO
YOUR BENEFIT.
>> I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE.
>> IT'S MY PLEASURE.
POP ACROSS TO CADAQUES FOR A DAY
OR TWO.
YOU NEED TO BE PROUD--
NOT EMBARRASSED-- TO BE SEEN
IN PUBLIC.
AND THAT WILL GIVE PEOPLE
PERMISSION TO BE SEEN WITH YOU.
>> HOLA, UN CAFE... >> Sam: LET US THINK, WHO ARE THOSE, YOU KNOW, FROM WHOM
OTHERS TAKE THEIR CUE?
SOMEONE LIKE PILAR DURAN WOULD
BE TERRIFIC, AND THEN, OF
COURSE, WE NEED A DOYENNE TO
SEAL IT.
YOU DO, OF COURSE,
KNOW TEENY DUCHAMP?
TEENY MATISSE DUCHAMP?
AND I SHALL, NATURALLY, MAKE SURE THAT THE WORD GETS OUT... AS WILL OTHERS...
[CHUCKLES] AS WILL OTHERS.
>> [LAUGHS]
>> YOU'VE GOT TO START
PAINTING AGAIN.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN...
>> AN ARTIST AND A DIVORCEE.
>> SO YOU UNDERSTAND.
WELL, THAT'S FOR STARTERS. SOME OF IT WILL, I'VE NO DOUBT, BE EMOTIONALLY UNPLEASANT...
>> OH, PLEASE.
WHERE IS HE?
>> OH, I'M SURE HE'LL BE
ALONG, BARBARA.
HE'S JUST BEING TONY.
[ENGINE REVVING]
>> MUMMY, WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS BROOKS. WHAT I DON'T UNDERSTAND IS, OF
ALL THE PLACES BROOKS WOULD WANT
TO GO FOR THE SEASON IN ALL THE
WORLD, HE WOULD CHOOSE A PLACE
RIGHT NEAR US AND THEN NOT WANT
TO SEE US...
AND BLANCA, TOO.
WHY WOULD SHE WANT TO GO TO
MALLORCA WHEN SHE HATES ME
SO MUCH?
>> SHE DOESN'T HATE YOU.
>> AND BROOKS? >> HE DOESN'T HATE YOU EITHER. >> THEN WHY WON'T HE...?
>> I'VE LONG SINCE GIVEN UP
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND BROOKS.
EXPLAIN HIM, JUSTIFY HIS WAYS.
MEN DO... THIS IS SOMETHING
YOU KNOW VERY WELL.
MEN DO... WHAT MEN DO.
>> MUMMY?
I THINK HE'S WRITING US
A LETTER.
I THINK HE IS WRITING US
A LETTER...
BUT IN ANOTHER ALPHABET,
IN BAEKELAND WRITING...
NO ONE ELSE CAN READ. THE THING WITH BROOKS IS HE... >> OH, PLEASE.
>> MUMMY, DON'T BE ANGRY.
>> I'M NOT ANGRY.
>> I LOVE YOU.
MUMMY, I LOVE YOU.
[¶...] [BIRDS CHIRPING]
Tony: NO, YOU'VE BEEN FANTASTIC. >> NO, NO, NO, YOU NEEDN'T... >> NO, BUT, REALLY, I WANTED TO,
REALLY... REALLY.
I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU HOW
MUCH OF AN IMPROVEMENT...
>> WELL, SHE'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
>> WELL, SHE'LL ALWAYS
BE BARBARA.
>> [CHUCKLES]
AND... WHAT OF YOU?
WHAT OF LIFE IN THE WORLD OF
TONY BAEKELAND?
>> CA VA.
>> "CA VA"? "PAS MAL"? NO, NO, NO, NO.
THAT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH BY HALF. TONY TAKES CARE OF JAKE. TONY TAKES CARE OF BARBARA.
SOMEONE MUST TAKE CARE OF TONY.
[¶...] [BIRDS CHIRPING]
[¶...]
>> Sam: WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO, IDEALLY, IS TO PLACE YOU WITH A GALLERY OR, FAILING THAT, WITH
A... PRIVATE DEALER-- AND THAT
IS SOMETHING IEALER-- AND THAT
KNOW I CAN DO--
>> YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT.
SAM...
YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT.
>> HE'S YOUR CHILD, AND HE WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR CHILD, BUT HE IS A GROWN MAN WITH HIS OWN LIFE
AND HIS OWN CHOICES.
>> YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
>> TONY IS WHO TONY IS.
[PLATE SHATTERS]
>> TONY IS NOT WHO TONY "IS"!
[RECORD PLAYS SOFT MUSIC...]
[¶...]
>> Tony, writing: DEAR PAPA, I DON'T KNOW ANY OTHER WAY TO
SAY THIS, BUT STRAIGHT OUT:
WOULD YOU PLEASE COME BACK TO MUMMY? SHE'S SO UNHAPPY.
SHE NEEDS YOU...
BUT IS TOO FULL OF PRIDE TO ASK.
DO YOU REMEMBER OUR DOG WHOM YOU NAMED GIOTTO?
THE DOG IS GONE, BUT THE COLLAR REMAINS.
DO YOU KNOW THAT FOR ALL THE TIMES WE'VE MOVED, I'VE TAKEN IT FROM PLACE TO PLACE--
IT'S NEVER GOTTEN LOST,
NOT EVEN ONCE.
I DO NOT KNOW WHY YOU FEAR ME.
I DO NOT FEAR YOU.
SOMETIMES I HAVE A BLOODY MIND AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT, BUT I FIGHT IT WITH
EVERYTHING I'VE GOT.
WITH MY BEST LOVE, ANTONY.
>> TONY! TONY! [BICYCLE RATTLES]
[WIND BLOWS THROUGH THE TREES]
[¶...]
BROOKS! [¶...]
[BRUSH CLATTERS TO THE FLOOR] [¶...]
>> [WHISPERS]: EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
[¶...]
[CIGARETTE BURNS, SOMEONE EXHALES] [BICYCLE RATTLES]
[¶...] >> Tony: MY MUMMY TOLD ME
EVER SINCE I WAS SEVEN,
"HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH."
[¶...]
[BICYCLE RATTLES]
[BICYCLE CRASHES LOUDLY]
A VERY STRANGE THING IS WHEN YOUR CHARM CEASES.
AND FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, YOU BECOME GLOOMY. [¶...]
AND PEOPLE CEASE TO UNDERSTAND
YOU WHEN YOU NEED UNDERSTANDING
THE MOST.
[¶...]
I NOW REALIZE THAT FOR MANY YEARS, I HAVE BEEN LIVING A TOTALLY FALSE LIFE.
[BOTTLE CLINKS,
ROLLS ON THE FLOOR]
[¶...]
I KNEW IT.
BUT FOR MUMMY'S SAKE, I'VE DECIDED TO MAKE A NEW PERSON OF MYSELF.
[¶...]
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
[LAUGHING...]
[ALL LAUGHING...]
[LAUGHING STOPS] [BIRDS CHIRPING]
[BIRDS CHIRPING...]
>> Barbara: WE'LL BE BORED RIGID WITHOUT YOU. >> Tony: IT'S HARDER TO GET
PEOPLE TO COME--
>> Sam: THAN IT WAS IN CADAQUES,
I KNOW.
>> Tony: IT'S TIME.
>> IT'S TIME.
[MOTOR STARTS...]
>> I'M GLAD HE'S GONE.
[LAUGHING]
>> Tony: I'M NOT SURE, PAPA, YOU WOULD WANT TO KNOW THIS.
BUT SHE USED SLEEPING
SUPPOSITORIES... SIX OR SEVEN
OF THEM, SO THAT SHE WOULDN'T
CHANGE HER MIND... COULDN'T.
I REMEMBER SHE TOLD ME THAT HER
FATHER, MY GRANDFATHER,
HAD KILLED HIMSELF, SO I FEAR
THAT ALL THIS RAN VERY DEEP
WITHIN HER.
IT WAS A MIRACLE OF COURSE THAT
I CAME HOME THAT NIGHT INSTEAD
OF STAYING OUT TILL MORNING,
AS IS MY CUSTOM.
AND A MIRACLE THAT WHEN I DID
COME HOME, SHE WAS STILL ALIVE.
TAKING CARE OF MUMMY HAD BEEN YOUR JOB.
BUT WHEN YOU LEFT, BROOKS,
TAKING CARE OF MUMMY BECAME MY INHERITANCE.
>> BARBARA?
[¶...]
[FINGERS SQUEAK ON THE WAXED WOOD...] [¶...]
>> HI.
WE JUST MISSED EACH OTHER. >> A L'HOPITAL?
THEY TOLD ME THAT YOU HAD BEEN THERE. >> THIS...
MUST BE VERY HARD FOR YOU.
YOUR MUSIC? YOUR WRITING? >> THAT. >> CARLOS THINKS VERY HIGHLY
OF YOU, ALWAYS HAS.
AND I'M SURE HE'LL--
>> HAVE YOU SEEN BROOKS?
>> CARLOS SAW HIM.
>> I DON'T THINK THAT BROOKS IS LIKING ME VERY MUCH THESE DAYS.
HE SAID I WAS A CRAPULE. >> OH, PLEASE-- TO BROOKS,
EVERYONE IS A LITTLE SHIT.
EVERYONE IN THE WHOLE WIDE
WORLD, INCLUDING ME,
INCLUDING YOU...
INCLUDING EVEN CARLOS,
FOR GOD'S SAKE.
>> BUT NOT LEO.
NOT THE SAINTED GRANDFATHER.
[¶...] >> Barbara: WHAT WAS IT HE SAID? >> Tony: WHO?
>> HEMINGWAY, I THINK,
OR THE OTHER ONE...
>> FITZGERALD?
>> HEMINGWAY OR FITZGERALD, YES.
IT WAS ONE OF THEM.
>> WHO SAID...?
>> WHO SAID WHAT IT IS I'M
TRYING TO REMEMBER!
GOD... I'M TURNING INTO NINI. >> MONSIEUR, ENCORE. MERCI BIEN.
>> I KNOW, IT WAS ABOUT PARIS,
I THINK.
"IF YOU'RE TIRED OF PARIS,
YOU'RE TIRED OF EVERYTHING."
I REMEMBER.
"TO SAY THAT ONE IS TIRED OF PARIS IS IN FACT TO SAY THAT ONE IS TIRED OF LIFE,"
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
>> Tony:G LIKE THAT.
MUMMY HOPED THAT WITH
A NEW PLACE WOULD COME BETTER
THINGS FOR US.
AND SHE WAS RIGHT,
BUT NOT COMPLETELY SO.
BUT STILL, PARIS WAS A STEP UP
IN THE WORLD.
IT WAS IN PARIS THAT I STARTED
WRITING BACKWARDS IN MY
NOTEBOOK SO THAT NO ONE COULD
READ MY THOUGHTS, BUT MUMMY
SEEMED TO BE ABLE TO READ THEM
ANYWAY, AS IF SHE WERE INSIDE
MY HEAD, LOOKING OUT.
[¶...]
MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER LEO ONCE SAID, "ONE OF THE USES OF MONEY IS THAT IT ALLOWS US NOT
TO LIVE WITH THE CONSEQUENCES
OF OUR MISTAKES."
BUT I FEAR THAT IN THIS, LEO WAS WRONG.
>> Barbara: TONY! DO YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD REALLY LOVE?
>> WHAT WOULD YOU REALLY LOVE? >> WHAT DO YOU THINK?
...THIS IS SO GOOD. >> I'M GLAD. >> IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.
>> THEN I'M ALL THE MORE GLAD
THAT I WAS ABLE TO OBTAIN IT.
>> IS THERE A BETTER ICE CREAM
IN THE WHOLE WORLD?
IS IT THURSDAY? >> YES, IT IS.
>> I HAVE DINNER WITH ETHEL TONIGHT. ETHEL DE CROISSET.
>> I'LL MAKE OTHER PLANS.
>> I'M SURE SHE WOULDN'T MIND IF
YOU TAGGED ALONG.
>> I WOULDN'T WANT TO IMPOSE.
>> I DON'T LIKE WHAT HAPPENS...
WHEN YOU "MAKE OTHER PLANS."
>> MUMMY... PLEASE.
>> "THE AFTERNOON
OF THE LONGEST LAUNDRY"?
>> [SNICKERS] I DON'T DO THAT
ANYMORE.
>> MM... HMM.
>> WHAT DOES THE "G" STAND FOR?
>> WHAT, DEAR? >> THE "G".
>> GEORGE. LIKE HIS FATHER.
DO MY WRISTS, WOULD YOU?
[MAGAZINE DROPS ON THE FLOOR]
[WATER IN THE TUB SPLASHES]
THAT WAS LOVELY. AND NOW... [WATER SPLASHING] I NEED SOME PRIVACY.
[WATER SPLASHES] SCOOT, SO THAT I CAN GET DRESSED.
TEENY... I'M SO SORRY. >> Tony: I'M SO SORRY. MUMMY ALWAYS SAID THAT
I SHOULD BE FURIOUS WITH YOU
FOR STEALING MY GIRL.
BUT I SAID, "MUMMY,
HE DIDN'T HURT ME.
HE HURT YOU."
STILL, PAPA, YOU SHOULD HAVE
COME BACK.
I THOUGHT THAT ONE DAY YOU'D
WAKE UP AND KNOW THAT TOO.
BUT YOU NEVER DID.
AND SOMETHING ELSE I WANT YOU TO KNOW. GIOTTO'S COLLAR HAS
DISAPPEARED, AND I WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO SLEEP UNTIL WE FIND IT.
[BIRDS CHIRPING, CAWING] [¶...]
[LIGHTER SNAPS OPEN, CLICKS]
[LIGHTER CLICKS CLOSED] [¶...]
[LIGHTER CLICKS CLOSED]
>> Barbara: NOT THE FORMAL OPENING DINNER, OF COURSE, THAT'S ME AND 17 OF THE DEALER'S
CLOSEST FRIENDS, YOU KNOW,
GETTING PISSED AT REGINE'S.
[WOMAN CHUCKLES]
THIS IS DIFFERENT, MORE
INTIME.
WHAT I WAS THINKING WAS THAT
AFTER THE VERNISSAGE, I WOULD
GATHER TOGETHER A SMALL GROUP:
YOU AND MISHKA, OF COURSE, AND
ETHEL DE CROISSET AND THE DURANS
AND BILL AND ROSE STYRON, IF
THEY ARE STILL IN TOWN.
NOT, NOT "BUYERS,"
NOT, NOT A BUSINESS THING.
THANK YOU.
>> PEOPLE YOU LOVE AND WHO
I KNOW WOULD LOVE EACH OTHER.
OH, I CAN'T BEGIN TO TELL YOU
HOW MUCH TONY ADORES LONDON.
I BELIEVE IT'S BROUGHT ABOUT
A SEA CHANGE IN HIM.
DO YOU REMEMBER IN PARIS HOW DOWN HE COULD GET? HOW... PULLED WITHIN HIMSELF AND THEN IN THE
MORNING, HOW AGITATED?
>> WELL, THAT'S STILL TONY, OF
COURSE, BUT IN LONDON, HE EATS,
HE WALKS, HE EVEN SHOPS.
THIS MORNING, WE STAYED IN BED
UNTIL 11, READING THE
NEWSPAPERS.
FOR HIM, THAT'S UNHEARD OF.
FOR ME, PARADISE.
>> OH, THANK YOU.
>> IT'S A PLEASURE.
>> NOW, WHAT DO YOU THINK,
MISHKA, OF A SMALL DINNER
FOLLOWING THE VERNISSAGE?
>> WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE?
IT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.
>> WELL, I WAS THINKING I MIGHT
HAVE IT HERE.
I THOUGHT IT MIGHT ADD A NOTE OF
CLASS TO MY OWN LITTLE WORKS
WHICH THEY IN NO WAY ON THEIR
OWN MERITS...
>> OF COURSE YOU CAN HAVE YOUR
LITTLE DINNER OVER HERE.
[MUNCHING SALAD]
>> I DON'T KNOW HOW
TO THANK YOU.
TONY WILL BE THRILLED.
>> [SIGHS] [BIRDS CHIRPING]
[DOOR SHUTS] >> WELL...? WHERE IS IT?
WHERE DID YOU PUT IT? >> Barbara: IT IS NOT MY
RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP TRACK OF
YOUR OBJECTS.
>> BUT IT'S NOT ANYWHERE.
>> MISSY HARNDEN IS THE SOUL
OF GRACIOUSNESS.
WHEN I MENTIONED THAT THERE
WOULD BE A VERNISSAGE AFTER THE
OPENING, SHE OFFERED TO HOST
A LITTLE DINNER,ERED TO HOST
CHEZ HARNDEN.
>> I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU, MUMMY.
>> I DO LIKE THE WAY YOU'VE BEEN
DRESSING LATELY.
IS THAT FROM GIEVES?
>> NO, ACTUALLY, IT'S
FROM ANDERSON.
FROM ANDERSON AND SHEPPARD.
>> DID YOU JUST WALK IN?
>> NO, YOU MIGHT JUST WALK INTO
GIEVES, BUT YOU'RE NOT GOING TO
WALK INTO ANDERSON.
YOU GET WALKED INTO ANDERSON.
IN MY CASE, BY TIMOTHY CHALMERS.
>> HAVE YOU BEEN SEEING A LOT OF
YOUNG TIMOTHY CHALMERS?
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK HE'S THE
KIND OF PERSON YOU WANT TO BE
LEARNING FROM, IF WHAT YOU WANT
TO LEARN IS HOW TO BE A MAN.
>> WHAT DO YOU MEAN? >> I MEAN I DON'T THINK TIMOTHY LIKES WOMEN VERY MUCH.
>> OH, HE'S ENGLISH, IS ALL.
HE'S THE KIND OF PERSON THAT
DOES THINGS FOR PEOPLE...
IN THE WAY THAT MISSY HARNDEN
DOES FOR YOU.
>> I HOPE YOU HAVEN'T INCURRED
ANY KIND OF OBLIGATION.
>> MOTHER, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
AN INTRODUCTION TO A TAILOR,
A CLOTHIER.
>> WELL, I VERY MUCH LIKE
THIS MATERIAL...
THIS FABRIC.
WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT? >> IT'S A WORSTED, I SHOULD THINK.
>> MMM, WELL, IT'S MUCH NICER
THAN YOUR OTHER WORSTED.
>> WELL, THAT'S ANDERSON.
>> THIS IS INTERESTING. >> BARBARA...
PLEASE. >> YOU DON'T SEEM TO MIND IT. PART OF YOU DOESN'T SEEM TO
MIND IT.
>> WELL, I SUPPOSE I DON'T...
MIND. >> YOU MIGHT EVEN ENJOY IT. >> I MIGHT.
>> AH, I'M FINDING SOME
BUTTONS HERE.
HOW MANY?
>> FIVE.
THEY DO THEM WITH FIVE.
>> THAT'S FIVE.
THAT'S FOUR...
AND THAT'S THREE...
HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

>> WHY DO YOU CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THIS THING? >> FOR THE SAME REASON THAT
ANYONE CARES ABOUT ANYTHING...
FOR ITS VALUE.
ITS SENTIMENTAL VALUE.
>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A DOG
COLLAR, A STUPID DOG COL...
>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT A COLLAR
THAT BELONGED TO GIOTTO, A DOG
I LOVED AND A DOG THAT DIED!
>> INSIDE VOICE, PLEASE.
>> NOW THE DOG IS GONE BUT WE
STILL HAVE THE COLLAR AND WE
HAVE MOVED AND MOVED AND MOVED
AND WE HAVE NEVER LOST IT!
>> OH, TONY, PLEASE.
[¶...] >> [SOFTLY]: GO LOOK FOR IT.
GO! [¶...]

TONY! [CLOCK CHIMING...]
GET YOUR THUMB OUT OF YOUR MOUTH. YOU ARE NOT A FUCKING BABY.
[CHIMING CONTINUES...]
[FINAL CHIME FADES...] >> YOU HID IT.
YOU HID IT IN THE CUPBOARD... AT THE VERY BACK OF THE CUPBOARD WITH NINI'S SILVER...
>> I DID NO SUCH THING.
>> THEN HOW DID IT GET THERE?
>> WELL, MAYBE YOU PUT IT THERE
FOR SAFEKEEPING AND THEN
YOU FORGOT.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALL RIGHT.
LET ME HELP YOU. TONY, TONY...
[DISHES CLATTER...]
>> AFTER WE FOUGHT THIS MORNING, YOU WROTE SOMETHING ON A PIECE OF PAPER...
AND I WAS SO ANGRY THAT WHEN YOU
WENT OUT FOR LUNCH, I JUST HAD
TO TEAR IT UP.
>> WE DIDN'T FIGHT THIS MORNING.
WE STAYED IN AND READ THE
PAPERS, REMEMBER?
>> YOU WROTE IT IN THAT BACKWARDS WRITING... BUT I'M NOT STUPID.
I KNOW THAT YOU THINK I'M NOT
SMART, BUT I'M...
[KNIFE SCRAPES]
...SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW
THAT IF THERE IS A PIECE
OF BACKWARD WRITING...
[SNIFFLES]
WHY, YOU JUST HOLD IT UP TO
A MIRROR.
SO I TORE IT INTO LITTLE PIECES
AND I FLUSHED IT DOWN THE
TOILET, BUT YOU KNOW HOW THAT
TOILET IS, AND THOSE PIECES,
THEY JUST KEPT...
THEY KEPT FLOATING TO THE TOP.
>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
WHEN YOU TALK NONSENSE LIKE
THIS, I CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU...
>> I'M NOT TALKING...
>> I CAN'T HELP YOU.
>> I AM TELLING YOU!
>> YOU ARE SPOUTING!

[DIALING ROTARY PHONE...] [¶...]
YES, I'D LIKE TO PLACE AN ORDER.
TO BE DELIVERED.
YES, BAEKELAND.
I'M VERY HUNGRY.
YEAH, THOSE THIN RICE NOODLES WITH PORK, SHREDDED PORK.
YEAH, THAT WOULD BE IT. AND SOME RICE, SOME FRIED RICE.
NO, THE LARGE.
DEAR PAPA... I'M HOPING YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER...
[CHAIR SQUEAKS]
DURING THE TIME PRECEDING WHAT HAPPENED, A LOT OF RATHER STRANGE THINGS WERE HAPPENING.
EARLIER THAT AFTERNOON, I HAD
A TELEPHONE CALL FROM A FRIEND
OF OURS WHO LIVES IN WALES.
SHE TOLD ME I HAD FALLEN DOWN
AN ELEVATOR SHAFT.
[DOORBELL RINGS]
I THOUGHT THIS RATHER STRANGE,
AND YET IT HAD A PROFOUND
EFFECT ON ME.
I WAS IN A DREADFUL STATE.
FOR A LONG TIME I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE I WAS. PAST MEMORIES KEPT FLOODING MY
MIND AND I FELT LIKE I WAS
RE-ENACTING PARTS OF MY
FORMER LIFE.
[SIREN WAILING...]
YOU KNOW I LOVED, AND STILL
LOVE AND ADORE MY MUMMY MORE
THAN ANYONE IN THE WORLD.
>> HELLO?
HELLO?
MR. BAEKELAND?
YOU WOULD BE MR. BAEKELAND, SIR? >> YES. >> AND THIS WOULD BE...?
>> MY MOTHER.
I DO WISH WE COULD ALL BE TOGETHER AGAIN.
AND ANOTHER THING IS, I HAVE SO MUCH IN MY HEAD THAT... TO LET IT OUT WOULD SURELY
KILL ME.
[GENERAL CONVERSATION...]
NEVERTHELESS, I FEEL BETTER NOW
AND EVEN FEEL THAT A GREAT
WEIGHT HAS BEEN LIFTED FROM
MY SHOULDERS.
[GENERAL CONVERSATION...]
>> Man: ...IS IT SOMEONE FAMOUS? [GENERAL CONVERSATION...] >> Man 2: THEY SAID TO MOVE ON.
>> Tony:: THEY SAID TO MOVE ON.
YES, IT IS VERY BORING
HERE, BUT I TRY TO BE GOOD AND
NOT FRET...
AND YOU ASK ME WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE IN PRISON, WELL...
JUST EXACTLY AS ONE WOULD IMAGINE.
[¶...] >> Brooks: THERE WILL BE A MASS
GIVEN BY BARBARA'S FRIENDS WHO
KNEW HER WELL AND REMEMBER WHAT
WAS LOVABLE AND BRAVE IN HER AT
