( beep )
Man:
Hi, beautiful, it's Andy.
Don't worry,
I'm not canceling.
I just, uh,
want to ask you something.
Actually, I just want
to talk to you.
As a matter of fact,
I love talking to you
and seeing you and...
call me.
( beep )
Man:
Hi, Mary.
This is Richard.
I'm in your apartment...
and I'm going to kill you.
I LOVE YOU.
( gasping )
( bell rings )
READY?
I'M READY.
THE QUESTION IS --
IS MR. WONDERFUL READY?
LOOK WHAT I DID -- TOM AND ME
ON OUR DATE LAST NIGHT.
SO YOU LET HIM
GET TO FIRST BASE, HUH?
DID HE USE HIS TONGUE?
C'MON. WE GOTTA
MOVE OUR BUTTS.
I GOTTA BABY-SIT.
Girl: HURRY UP
AND CLOSE THE DOOR,
SOMEBODY.
WHY?
WHOA! RAD SHOES!
THEY'RE MY MOM'S.
I CAN'T BELIEVE
SHE LETS YOU
BORROW HER STUFF.
WHY NOT? SHE ALWAYS
BORROWS MY CLOTHES.
CAN YOU IMAGINE MY MOTHER
BORROWING MY STUFF?
YOUR MOM LOOKS LIKE WHAT A MOM
IS SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE.
Girl:
GOD, HOW CAN YOU GUYS EVEN READ
ABOUT THE CANDLELIGHT KILLER?
DID YOU BRING THE FILM
THIS TIME?
YEAH, BUT ARE YOU SURE
HE'LL BE THERE?
I GOTTA BE HOME BY FOUR.
YOU'LL GET HOME IN TIME.
WE WERE TOO LATE YESTERDAY.
THAT'S WHY WE MISSED HIM.
WEND, YOU'RE LOPSIDED.
( engine roars )
Woman: STOP!!!
( tires screech )
LOOK!
I GOT IT! COME ON!
WHA--
WHAT, ARE YOU GUYS CRAZY?
HEY!
( phone rings )
GOOD AFTERNOON,
DESIGNS BY KATHERINE.
HI, SARAH.
OH, HI, LIS'!
YOUR MOM
JUST STEPPED OUT.
HOW'D YOUR DATE
GO LAST NIGHT?
( mirthless chuckle )
NOT MY TYPE.
NICE, THOUGH.
A HANDSOME HUNK OF A MAN, TOO.
IT JUST DIDN'T CLICK.
YOU SHOULD PASS HIM ON
TO MY MOM.
YEAH, THAT'LL BE THE DAY.
SO WHO ARE YOU
IN LOVE WITH THIS WEEK?
OH, I DON'T KNOW.
MAYBE GEORGE MICHAEL.
BEYOND CUTE, HUH?
( giggling: )
YEAH, YOU BETTER WATCH OU FOR THOSE GUYS
WHO BLEACH THEIR HAIR
AND WEAR EARRINGS.
HE DOES NOT BLEACH HIS HAIR.
HA HA HA!
I WISH YOU TWO MY BEST.
LOOK, I'D BETTER GO.
COULD YOU TELL MY MOM
THAT I WAS HOME,
I PICKED UP THE DRY CLEANING,
AND I'M GOING OVER TO WENDY'S?
MMM, CHECK-IN NOTED.
I'LL TALK TO YOU
TOMORROW, KIDDO.
OKAY? BYE-BYE.
HI, GUY,
WHAT'S UP?
OH, YOU JUS MISSED LISA.
I SWEAR, THAT LITTLE GIRL
IS GONNA BREAK SOME HEARTS.
WHAT'D SHE SAY?
OH, SHE'S GOT A NEW GUY.
A BOY AT SCHOOL?
HA HA! NO.
GEORGE MICHAEL.
HA HA HA!
OH, STOP LOOKING SO WORRIED.
SHE'S JUST A KID.
( buzzer )
( door opens )
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
RALPH, TELL WENDY I'M HERE.
WENDY'S NOT HERE.
SHE'S DEAD.
I KILLED HER.
( scary voice: )
I'M THE CANDLELIGHT KILLER.
WENDY!
Wendy: RALPH,
GET OUT OF HERE!
COME ON! I JUST GOT THE NUMBER
OF THE DMV IN CULVER CITY.
WE HAVEN'T USED THEM YET.
( both giggle )
( intercom buzzes )
ADAMS. VEHICLE I.D.
( sexy voice : )
HELLO, IS THIS THE SUPERVISOR?
YES, MA'AM.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
I'VE SPOKEN
TO SEVERAL PEOPLE
WHO WORK UNDER YOU,
AND THEY'VE ALL SAID
THAT THEY DIDN' HAVE THE AUTHORITY
TO HELP ME OUT.
THAT'S WHY I'VE ASKED TO SPEAK
TO SOMEONE OF YOUR STATURE.
THAT'S USUALLY
THE CASE, MA'AM.
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
WELL, YOU SEE,
SOMEBODY HIT MY CAR
WHILE IT WAS PARKED.
HIT AND RUN'S
A POLICE MATTER,
DOESN'T COME UNDER
THIS DEPARTMENT.
OH, NO, NO.
IT WASN'T HIT AND RUN.
THE GENTLEMEN WHO DID I WAS VERY CONSIDERATE,
AND HE LEFT ME A NOTE
WITH HIS NAME,
TELEPHONE NUMBER,
AND A SWEET APOLOGY.
BUT GUESS WHAT?
I LOST THE NOTE.
I, UH, I DON'T SEE HOW
I CAN HELP YOU.
WELL, THE ONE THING I DO --
EXCUSE ME?
YOU LITTLE BRAT!
GET OUT OF HERE!
ARE YOU STILL THERE?
GET OUTTA HERE!
UH, YES, YES.
THAT WAS --
THAT WAS MY SECRETARY.
UM, AS I WAS SAYING,
THE ONE THING
I DO REMEMBER FROM THE NOTE
WAS THE LICENSE PLATE NUMBER.
IT WAS ONE OF THOSE
PERSONALIZED PLATES.
IT WAS "WANT MORE."
COULD YOU PLEASE
RUN THAT FOR ME?
"W-N-T M-O-R-E."
( whispers: )
Does he have it?
( taps keyboard )
I'M SORRY, I CAN'T DO THAT.
I SUGGEST YOU
CALL THE POLICE.
OKAY. MR. ADAMS,
LET ME BE
REALLY HONEST WITH YOU --
I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU
THE WHOLE STORY.
IT WASN'T MY CAR.
IT WAS MY FRIEND'S CAR.
I BORROWED IT,
AND WHEN SHE SEES HER CAR
AND SHE SEES THIS DENT,
IT'LL BE LIKE...
LIKE A DEATH IN THE FAMILY.
HA HA HA HA!
OHH, YOU KNOW, I WOULD REALLY
LIKE TO HELP YOU OUT, BUT --
MR. ADAMS,
I UNDERSTAND THE PRESSURES
ON A MAN IN YOUR POSITION,
BUT NO ONE WILL
EVER HAVE TO KNOW.
IF I HADN'T LOST THE NOTE,
I NEVER WOULD HAVE
HAD TO CALL YOU.
UH...
( tapping keyboard )
ALL RIGHT.
THANK YOU, MR. ADAMS.
YOU REALLY
MADE MY DAY.
( both shriek with delight )
THANK YOU, MAGNUM P.I.
AND MY PARENTS SAY
WE DON'T LEARN ANYTHING FROM TV.
YOU KNOW, LISA,
WE COULD TOTALLY
BE PRIVATE EYES
IF WE WANTED TO.
SO WHAT'S
MY STUD MUFFIN'S NAME?
ROBERT TRAVIS.
CALL HIM.
NO. YOU CALL HIM.
NO WAY, LISA.
I MEAN, YOU SOUND
JUST LIKE YOUR MOM.
I SOUND LIKE A KID.
( phone rings )
HELLO?
OH, HI.
UM, HOW'D YOU GET MY NUMBER?
( whispers )
FRIDAY NIGHT?
YEAH.
YEAH, SURE,
THAT SOUNDS FUN.
LISA?
ERIC WANTS TO
GO OUT WITH LISA?
( whispering )
UM, WELL...
I'LL-I'LL TALK TO HER.
OKAY?
OKAY.
CALL ME BACK. BYE.
OH, MY GOD, LISA!
THIS IS SO UNBELIEVABLE!
I CANNOT BELIEVE IT.
THAT WAS NICK RIVALDI CALLING.
HE CALLED TO ASK ME OUT!
HE ASKED ME OUT,
I HAVE MY FIRST DATE!
AND ERIC WANTS TO
GO OUT WITH YOU, TOO,
WHICH MEANS WE CAN DOUBLE!
THIS IS SO EXCITING!
YEAH,
JUST MAKE THE PLANS
FOR TWO YEARS
FROM FRIDAY NIGHT.
YOU DON'T HAVE
TO TELL YOUR MOM.
YOU COULD JUST TELL HER
YOU WERE COMING OVER HERE
TO SPEND THE NIGHT.
YEAH, AND THEN
SHE TALKS TO YOUR MOM
AND I'M DEAD.
BESIDES,
I CAN'T LIE TO HER.
WE TELL EACH OTHER EVERYTHING.
YOU DON'T TELL HER
ABOUT THE SCRAPBOOK
AND FOLLOWING GUYS.
SHE DOESN'T HAVE
TO KNOW ABOUT THAT.
THAT'S NOT FOR REAL.
LISA, COME ON.
I CANNOT BELIEVE
YOUR MOTHER'S REALLY SERIOUS
ABOUT THE SIXTEEN THING.
SHE'S SO COOL
ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE.
SHE LETS YOU SWEAR,
WEAR HER CLOTHES --
SHE TREATS YOU
LIKE A BEST FRIEND.
LISA, YOU REALLY
GOTTA DEAL WITH HER.
BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE TO WAI TILL YOUR SIXTEEN TO DATE,
EVERYBODY'S GONNA
THINK YOU'RE WEIRD.
( crying softly )
( dog barks in distance )
HI, GUY, I'M HOME!
UH-OH, A LOCKED DOOR.
LET'S SEE,
IT'S NOT REPORT CARD TIME...
GEORGE MICHAEL
DIDN'T GET MARRIED, DID HE?
HONEY?
UH-OH.
SERIOUS, HUH?
WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?
NO?
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
WHY DON'T YOU AND I
MAKE SOME DINNER?
AND I'LL LET YOU
PEEL THE ONIONS
SINCE YOUR EYES
ARE ALREADY RED.
OKAY?
( sighs )
( onions sizzle )
Katherine:
...ONLY I DON'T KNOW
WHO THE HELL
I'M TALKIN' TO, RIGHT?
SO HE SAID, "YOU DON' REMEMBER ME, DO YA?"
WHAT'D YOU SAY?
I SAID, "UH, WELL,
"I'M NOT SURE."
AND HE SAID, "WHAT,
THERE'S SO MANY MEN
"IN YOUR LIFE
YOU CAN'T REMEMBER ME?"
NOW I'M GETTING ANGRY.
BUT I DON'T WANT TO INSULT HIM
IN CASE HE'S A CUSTOMER.
SO HE SAYS, "WELL,
IF YOU DON'T REMEMBER ME,
"I'M GONNA HANG UP
AND I'LL CALL YOU BACK.
"IF YOU REMEMBER ME,
YOU CALL ME BACK."
SO DID YOU EVER
FIND OUT WHO IT WAS?
YEAH,
IT WAS THIS GUY BOB.
A CUSTOMER.
AND HE'S USUALLY REALLY NICE,
BUT THIS WAS SO ANNOYING.
DIDN'T SOUND ANNOYING.
SOUNDS FUN.
IS HE CUTE?
UM...KIND OF.
HAS HE EVER ASKED YOU OUT?
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
WHEN AM I GONNA HAVE TIME?
I GOT A DAUGHTER TO RAISE,
I GOT A BUSINESS TO RUN...
WENDY GOT ASKED OU ON A DATE TODAY.
OH.
IS THAT WHA ALL THE TEARS
WERE ABOUT?
AND THE GUY
WHO ASKED HER OU HAS A FRIEND
WHO WANTED TO TAKE ME OUT.
TOMORROW NIGHT.
WHAT DID WENDY SAY?
WENDY SAID YES.
AND WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID THAT I COULDN'T,
AND WENDY SAID THA EVERYBODY'S GONNA
THINK I'M WEIRD.
WELL,
I'LL TELL YOU WHAT.
I'LL MAKE YOU
A GREAT BIG BUTTON
THAT SAYS,
"I'M NOT WEIRD,
MY MOM IS." OKAY?
VERY FUNNY.
GREAT, NO RICE.
I'LL PUT ON
MY SHOES AND GO.
I'LL GO.
HONEY, IT'S DARK OUT.
MOM, IT'S ONLY 7:30,
AND YOU LET ME GO LAST WEEK.
OKAY, OKAY.
YOU BETTER HURRY, THOUGH,
OR I'M GONNA HAVE TO
START THIS ALL OVER AGAIN.
YOU BETTER GE MINUTE RICE, HONEY,
OR WE'RE NOT GONNA
EAT TILL MIDNIGHT.
MY PURSE IS BY
THE ANSWERING MACHINE.
TAKE TEN DOLLARS
AND MY KEYS, WITH THE MACE.
PSST! PSST! PSST!
LISA, HOW'S MOMMA?
I HAVEN'T SEEN HER
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
SHE'S FINE.
WOULD YOU TELL HER
WE JUST GOT IN
SOME PEPPERED BRIE?
THE KIND SHE LIKES.
YEAH.
( door closes )
( loud barking )
( barking continues )
UNH! OH!
ARE YOU OKAY?
IS SOMEONE CHASING YOU, HONEY?
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO TALK?
( giggling )
YEAH.
WELL, I SHOULD,
I'M FOURTEEN YEARS OLD.
FOURTEEN, NO WAY!
COME ON, YOU'RE
AT LEAST SIXTEEN.
OH, ARE THESE YOURS?
YEAH.
THANKS.
LET'S PICK UP
YOUR GROCERIES, HUH?
THANKS.
MM-HMM.
IS THAT EVERYTHING?
YEAH.
ARE YOU SURE?
'CAUSE I KNOW MY MOM
WOULD HAVE KILLED ME
IF I'D LOST SOMETHING
ON THE WAY HOME.
MINE WOULDN'T.
REALLY?
WELL...
YOU'RE A LUCKY KID.
OKAY, TAKE CARE.
OH -- WATCH
WHERE YOU'RE GOING.
( car alarm chirps )
( car starts )
( door opens )
Katherine:
HONEY, WOULD YOU
START THE WATER AGAIN?
I'M ON THE PHONE.
OKAY.
Katherine:
THANKS FOR GOING.
NO PROBLEM.
MOM, I WANT TO
GO OUT ON THAT DATE.
OF COURSE YOU DO.
YOU'RE JUST GONNA
HAVE TO TRUS THAT I KNOW WHAT'S BEST.
MOM, YOU'RE ALWAYS
SAYING THAT I'M SMART.
AND I AM SMART --
I'M AS SMAR AS ANY SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD.
PEOPLE ALWAYS TELL ME
THAT I LOOK LIKE I'M SIXTEEN.
BUT, HONEY, YOU'RE NOT.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU THINK
THAT TWO YEARS IS
A REALLY LONG TIME,
BUT YOU NEED IT.
YOU NEED I TO LEARN ABOUT YOURSELF.
I WISH I HAD
TAKEN THE TIME.
YOU KNOW, MOM,
DATING DOES NO NECESSARILY MEAN
GETTING PREGNANT.
( sighs )
NO, IT DOESN'T.
BUT IT-IT DOES MEAN
A WHOLE SET OF PROBLEMS
THAT YOU ARE NO EMOTIONALLY READY
TO HANDLE.
HONEY, I WAS FOURTEEN ONCE, TOO.
I WANTED IT ALL,
I WANTED IT REALLY FAST...
LISA, I WILL NEVER,
EVER REGRET HAVING YOU.
BUT I DO REGRE NOT TAKING MORE TIME
BEFORE I MOVED
INTO AN ADULT WORLD.
I'M NOT GONNA
LET YOU MAKE THAT MISTAKE.
I WON'T ALLOW IT.
YOU'RE NOT BEING FAIR.
YOU'VE ALWAYS SAID
THAT I HAVE A SAY
IN EVERYTHING.
WHY DON'T I HAVE
A SAY IN THIS?
YOU'RE HAVING A SAY.
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IT.
WE'RE DISCUSSING IT.
IT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S GONNA
TURN OUT IN YOUR FAVOR.
HONEY...
YOU'RE FOURTEEN.
DON'T WISH YOUR LIFE AWAY.
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE
PLENTY OF TIME
TO EXPERIENCE
EVERYTHING YOU WANT,
I PROMISE.
( sighs )
CAN WE EAT?
( sighs )
( Love Machine
from car radio )
EARTH TO LISA.
OH, GOD,
THAT WAS AWFUL.
YOU LOOKED LIKE
YOU WERE HAVING FUN.
FUN? DO YOU KNOW
WHAT IT'S LIKE
HAVING TO WATCH
EVERY WORD YOU SAY
SO YOU DON'T SOUND
LIKE A TOTAL GEEK?
AND IN THE MIDDLE
OF A SENTENCE
TRYING TO REMEMBER IF
YOU PUT ON LIP GLOSS OR NOT?
I'M A NERVOUS WRECK.
WHERE'S HE
TAKING YOU?
TO THE MOVIES.
LISA, WE ARE GOING TO BE
SITTING IN THE DARK
FOR TWO HOURS.
WHAT IF HE TRIES SOMETHING?
HIS REPUTATION --
SO DON'T GO.
BUT I WANT TO GO.
I JUST DON'T WANT TO GO
WITHOUT YOU.
COME ON, DON'T YOU
WANT TO GO OUT WITH ERIC?
ARE YOU KIDDING?
HE'S GORGEOUS.
NOT COMPARED TO THE GUY
I MET LAST NIGHT.
WHAT GUY?
WENDY --
LAST NIGHT I ME THE MOST BEAUTIFUL MAN
YOU HAVE EVER SEEN.
"MET"? OR "SAW"?
MET. WE HAD A CONVERSATION.
HE THOUGHT I WAS SIXTEEN.
REALLY? WHAT'S HIS NAME?
I DON'T KNOW.
BUT I GO HIS LICENSE PLATE NUMBER,
SO I CAN ALWAYS
GET HIS NAME.
AND THEN WHAT?
WHO KNOWS?
MAYBE WE'LL FALL IN LOVE.
( phone rings )
( ring )
( ringing )
( ringing )
HELLO?
HELLO?
IS THIS RICK?
YES.
HI, GUY.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M FINE.
HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?
YOU DON'T REMEMBER
WHO I AM, DO YOU?
I'M NOT SURE.
WHAT? THERE ARE
SO MANY WOMEN IN YOUR LIFE
THAT YOU CAN'T REMEMBER ME?
TALK SOME MORE.
( stifles a giggle )
( dogs barking in distance )
Man: ALISON!
ALISON?
( banging on door )
ALISON, ARE YOU IN THERE?
SAY, UH, EXCUSE ME.
DO YOU LIVE ON THIS STREET?
NOT FAR. WHY?
DO YOU HAPPEN TO KNOW
THE LADY WHO LIVES HERE,
HER NAME'S ALISON?
NO, I'M SORRY, I DON'T.
( sultry voice: )
NO, THAT'S NO WHERE I KNOW YOU FROM.
GUESS AGAIN.
YOU'RE DISGUISING
YOUR VOICE, AREN'T YOU?
THAT'S WHY I CAN'T PLACE YOU.
NO, RICK.
THIS IS MY VOICE.
YOU THINK ABOUT IT,
AND I'LL CALL YOU LATER.
NO, WAIT --
HI, MRS. MARKS.
IS WENDY THERE?
( disappointed: )
OH...
NICK ALREADY PICKED HER UP?
NO, THAT'S OKAY.
I'LL TALK TO HER TOMORROW.
BYE.
( door opens )
LIS'?
HI, HONEY.
OH, WHAT?
NOT ONLY AM I
TOO YOUNG TO DATE,
I'M TOO YOUNG TO HAVE
A LITTLE PRIVACY?
SORRY.
I DIDN'T SAY
YOU COULD COME IN.
WELL, EXCUSE ME.
I JUST CAME TO SEE
IF YOU WERE HUNGRY.
I ALREADY ATE.
OH. GEE, THAT'S TOO BAD.
I STOPPED AT THE MARKE AND I GOT SOME COKES,
AND I ORDERED A PIZZA
WITH EVERYTHING ON IT,
JUST LIKE YOU LIKE IT.
MAYBE LATER.
MOM --
IS IT OKAY IF WENDY
SLEEPS OVER HERE
TOMORROW NIGH INSTEAD OF ME
OVER THERE?
UM...
SURE.
( door closes )
READY FOR LUNCH?
SURE AM.
THAT'S GONNA
LOOK GREAT.
OH, THANKS.
HAVE FUN!
OH, SWEETHEART,
I'M GONNA HAVE TO
CANCEL OUR DATE
FOR TONIGHT.
( laughs in disbelief )
I'M NOT COUNTING,
BUT THAT'S, WHAT?
ONE, TWO, THREE...
I KNOW, I KNOW.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S JUST THA THE PLAN'S CHANGED.
LISA WAS SUPPOSED
TO SPEND THE NIGH AT WENDY'S HOUSE,
BUT INSTEAD,
WENDY'S GONNA
STAY AT OUR HOUSE.
KATHERINE.
YES?
CAN I ASK YOU
A QUESTION?
SURE.
WHY ARE YOU TREATING ME
LIKE WE'RE HAVING
AN ILLICIT AFFAIR
INSTEAD OF
A RELATIONSHIP?
I MEAN,
STOP BREAKING DATES WITH ME.
INVITE ME OVER.
IT'S COMPLICATED.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE.
BUT IT IS.
YOU HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT IT'S LIKE
HAVING A 14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.
WHEN I COME HOME,
SHE'S WEARING MY LIPSTICK.
IF I GO ON A DIET,
SHE GOES ON A DIET.
IF SHE EVEN THOUGH I WAS SLEEPING WITH SOMEBODY,
SHE MIGHT THINK
IT WAS ALL RIGHT FOR HER.
LOOK, I DON' HAVE TO STAY OVER,
I CAN JUST SHOW UP.
YOU CAN INTRODUCE US.
MAYBE I'D LIKE HER.
MAYBE SHE'D LIKE ME.
I KNOW SHE'D LIKE YOU.
MAYBE SHE WOULD
COME TO UNDERSTAND
THAT SHE WASN' THE ONLY ONE WHO LOVED YOU.
I JUST THINK SHE'D GE VERY ATTACHED TO YOU.
BUT I'VE DATED A WOMAN
WITH CHILDREN BEFORE.
THEY LIKED YOU?
YES.
DO YOU STILL SEE THEM?
NO. NO, NOT SINCE I
STOPPED SEEING THEIR MOTHER.
THAT'S MY POINT.
I CAN'T DO THAT TO HER.
SHE'S NOT READY FOR THAT.
( sighs )
YOU KNOW,
I THINK IT'S YOU
THAT ISN'T READY.
Lisa:
HE'S HERE.
GOOD.
I'LL GO RING HIS BELL
AND TELL HIM
HIS FUTURE WIFE
HAS ARRIVED.
JUST KIDDING.
Wendy: SO ANYWAY,
ALL THROUGH THE MOVIE
I KEEP LOOKING
OVER AT HIM
TO SEE IF HE'S
GONNA TRY ANYTHING --
HE'S ACTUALLY
WATCHING THE MOVIE.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
SO I FIGURE
HE'LL DO IT LATER.
WE LEAVE,
HE DRIVES ME HOME,
PULLS UP IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE,
AND HE ACTUALLY STARTS TALKING.
I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT.
BUT I'M STILL WAITING
FOR THE BIG MOVE.
SO FINALLY,
HE WALKS ME
UP TO MY DOOR.
WHAT HAPPENED?
HE JUST KISSED ME
ON THE CHEEK
AND SAID GOOD NIGHT.
WENDY, THERE HE IS.
THAT'S HIM?
GOD, HE'S GORGEOUS!
WHAT'S HE DOING
WEARING A TUXEDO
IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE DAY?
WHO KNOWS?
LET'S FOLLOW HIM.
Lisa:
MAYBE HE'S LATE
FOR SOMETHING.
AN AFFAIR.
MODELING ASSIGNMENT.
( horn honks )
COME ON,
LET'S GET A CLOSER LOOK!
NO, NO!
HE'LL RECOGNIZE ME!
NO!
COME ON!
EXCUSE ME!
HE'S NOT A MODEL,
HE'S A WAITER.
HE'S NOT A WAITER,
HE RUNS THE PLACE.
MAYBE HE EVEN OWNS IT!

( sighs )
DID YOU CALL EARLIER?
I THOUGH I HEARD THE PHONE RING.
I DID CALL EARLIER.
DO YOU WANT TO
GO BACK TO SLEEP?
OH, NO, NO.
NO, I'VE BEEN
WAITING FOR YOUR CALL.
I'VE MISSED YOU.
YOU SHOULD TAKE
SOME VITAMIN C
AND GO BACK TO BED,
AND THEN
I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW.
NO, WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU CALL, YOU WAKE ME UP,
YOU GET ME ALL EXCITED,
AND YOU STILL HAVEN' TOLD ME WHO YOU ARE.
DON'T I EVEN
GET A CLUE?
MAYBE TOMORROW.
JUST-JUST ONE CLUE.
WHERE DO YOU KNOW ME FROM?
( whispers: )
The restaurant.
THE RESTAURANT.
OH, THE RESTAURANT.
SO THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW ME.
GO BACK TO BED.
I'LL CALL YOU TOMORROW
AND SEE HOW YOU'RE FEELING.
NO, DON'T CALL.
( clears throat )
COME OVER.
I CAN'T.
WELL, THEN,
GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER,
AND I'LL CALL YOU
WHEN I WAKE UP.
I CAN'T DO THAT, EITHER.
GOOD NIGHT.

Ah, hello?
Hi, guy.
Did I wake you?
( rewinds tape )
Hello?
Ah, hello?

THAT'S MY DAD.
I'LL LET HIM IN.
UH, KATHY?
LISA SAID YOU GUYS DON'T HAVE
PLANS FOR EASTER WEEKEND,
SINCE YOU'RE GONNA
BE WORKING AND ALL,
SO MAYBE I COULD
STAY HERE WITH YOU GUYS
FOR A WHILE.
MY PARENTS WANT ME
TO GO WITH THEM TO BIG BEAR
'CAUSE WE'RE OPENING THE CABIN
FOR THE SUMMER,
BUT I DON'T REALLY
WANT TO GO, Y'KNOW?
YOU DON' WANT TO GO?
NO, NOT REALLY.
THE FIRST WEEKEND,
IT'S ALWAYS SO DIRTY,
SPIDERS EVERYWHERE,
MY BROTHER'S A PAIN,
AND I FIGURED I'D HAVE MORE FUN
HERE WITH YOU GUYS.
ANYWAYS, ALL THE GUYS
ARE GONNA BE PLANNING
LOTS OF PARTIES AND WE --
WELL, LISA ALREADY HAS PLANS.
SHE'S GONNA
EARN SOME EXTRA MONEY
AND HELP ME OUT AT THE SHOP
LIKE SHE USUALLY DOES.
BUT I DON' WANNA DO THAT.
Dad: KNOCK, KNOCK.
HI, DAD.
HI, LARRY.
HELLO, LADIES.
I BROUGHT UP
YOUR PAPER.
HERE'S A HEADLINE.
OHH...THE CANDLELIGHT KILLER.
GOD, I WISH THEY'D
QUIT SENSATIONALIZING THIS.
WELL, I GUESS
IT SELLS NEWSPAPERS.
I'M GONNA GO
GET MY STUFF.
DAD: Good.
YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?
NO, THANKS.
I'M ALL COFFEE'D OUT.
SO YOU GUYS ARE GONNA
GO TO BIG BEAR THIS WEEKEND?
MM-HMM. YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU TWO SHOULD
COME ALONG WITH US.
I KNOW THE FELLA

BYE, LIS'.
THANKS AGAIN.
BYE, HONEY.
YOU GUYS HAVE
A GREAT WEEKEND, HUH?
Wendy: THANKS, BYE.
( door closes )
( sighs )
WHY CAN'T I GO?!
BECAUSE I THINK
YOU AND WENDY
HAVE SPEN ENOUGH TIME TOGETHER
FOR A WHILE.
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH WENDY, OKAY?
WENDY IS MY BEST FRIEND, OKAY?
THERE'S NOTHING WRONG
WITH MY BEST FRIEND!
THAT'S NO WHAT I SAID.
NOTHING HAPPENED
ON THEIR DATE!
THEY DIDN'T EVEN KISS!
I'M GLAD.
YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE ME
LOSE MY BEST FRIEND.
I WANNA GO AWAY
WITH HER AND HER FAMILY!
YOU DON'T HAVE TIME
TO SPEND WITH ME, ANYWAY!
I THINK YOU BETTER
CALM DOWN, YOUNG LADY,
OR YOU'RE GONNA
GO TO YOUR ROOM.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
THAT'S YOUR CHOICE.
YOU KNOW,
YOU REALLY HAVE CHANGED.
WHEN I WAS A LITTLE KID,
YOU TREATED ME
MORE LIKE AN ADUL THAN YOU DO NOW!
( sighs deeply )
( door slams )
( honking horn )
Lisa: WENDY!
( rock music blares )
I GOTTA GO
TALK TO LISA.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
Boy: I'LL BE HERE, BABE.

I WANNA HANG OU WITH YOU GUYS.

Lisa: OH, I DON'T KNOW.
SHE JUST MAKES ME SO MAD
SOMETIMES.
WELL, WHAT'S HER PROBLEM?
WELL, A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO,
SHE GOT PREGNAN AND HAD THE BABY,
AND THE GUY DIDN'T WANT TO
HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH HER.
SO NOW SHE THINKS

( chuckles )
WELL, SOME MEN ARE LIKE THAT.
UH-HUH.
BUT, RICHARD, SHE'S GETTING
STRANGER AND STRANGER.
TONIGHT THIS REALLY NICE MAN
CAME OVER TO TALK TO HER.
HE WAS VERY POLITE.
SHE THOUGHT THA HE WAS ON THE MAKE.
SHE TOLD HIM TO GET LOST.
WELL, I'M GLAD
SHE GOT RID OF HIM.
WHY?
WELL, HE MIGHT HAVE
HIT ON YOU.
THEN I'D BE JEALOUS.
HOW COULD YOU BE JEALOUS?
WE HAVEN'T EVEN MET YET.
I'VE LISTENED TO YOUR VOICE...
THE WAY YOU

BUT, WENDY, YOU SHOULD HEAR
THE THINGS HE SAYS TO ME.
HE EVEN TOLD ME
I WAS BEAUTIFUL.
LISA, HE DOESN'T EVEN

AND ANYWAY,
IF HE FINDS OU HOW OLD YOU ARE,
IT'LL ALL BE OVER.
YOU NEVER KNOW.
LISA, LOOK.
JUST DON'T LET THIS GUY
KNOW WHO YOU ARE,
WHATEVER YOU DO.
I MEAN, HE COULD EVEN
TELL YOUR MOM.
I'D BE DEAD.
SEE? YOU'D BE BETTER OFF
SETTING THE TWO OF THEM UP.
MAYBE IF YOUR MOM
HAD A BOYFRIEND
AND GOT I ONCE IN A WHILE,
SHE MIGH LEAVE YOU ALONE
AND LET YOU
START DATING.
( bell rings )
I'M IN THE FLOWER BUSINESS.
YEAH? WHAT DO YOU DO
IN THE FLOWER BUSINESS?
I DON'T WANT TO
TALK ABOUT WORK.
OKAY. LET'S TALK ABOU WHERE AND WHEN
WE GET TO MEET.

BUT I CAN ALWAYS GET AWAY
FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS.
OH.
WELL, THEN,
MAYBE I'LL JUST DROP BY.

I-I DON'T THINK
THAT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA.

( sighs )
I'M AS NORMAL
AS ANYONE ELSE.
OF COURSE I WAN SOMEONE IN MY LIFE,
IT'S JUST A MATTER OF
FINDING THE RIGHT PERSON.
BUT YOU DON'T EVEN TRY,
YOU JUST PUSH MEN AWAY.
THAT'S NOT TRUE --
I-I HAVE BEEN TRYING.
SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE ON
BIRTH CONTROL PILLS --
HOPING TO GET LUCKY.
LISA, THAT IS
MY PRIVATE BUSINESS.
SO WHAT? YOU STICK YOUR NOSE

( phone ringing )
HELLO?

LISA!
WHAT IS GOING ON?!
WHY ARE YOU
ACTING LIKE THIS?
YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN LIKE THIS.
YOU'VE NEVER
BEEN LIKE THIS.
YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO HAS ALL THE RULES!
HONEY, I LOVE YOU.
I AM TRYING
TO PROTECT YOU,
THAT'S ALL.
LISTEN -- YOU'RE THE ONE
WHO NEEDED ALL THESE RULES,
NOT ME --
I'M NOT LIKE YOU.
JUST BECAUSE YOU SLEPT AROUND,
IT DOESN'T MEAN
THAT I WILL, TOO.
LISTEN, KIDDO --
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING
THROUGH A LOT OF CHANGES,
THAT YOUR BODY'S
ALL SCREWED UP CHEMICALLY,
AND PEOPLE SAY AND DO
A LOT OF STUPID THINGS
WHEN THEIR HORMONES
ARE GOING CRAZY --
HORMONES?!
IT'S YOU WHO HAS
A PROBLEM WITH HORMONES!
YOU GET IN YOUR ROOM!
GET IN YOUR DAMN ROOM!
YOU ARE NO GOING AWAY WITH WENDY,
AND YOU ARE NO LEAVING THIS ROOM
EXCEPT FOR SCHOOL --
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!
NO PHONE PRIVILEGES,
NO NOTHING!
( sighs )
( sniffling )
OH, SO YOU ARE OPEN

Sarah: UH-HUH.

AND SHE STILL PUNISHES ME.
Wendy's dad:
DO YOU SEE 'EM, RALPH?
THERE THEY ARE!
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE FINE.
YOU TWO WILL WORK IT OUT.
NO, WE WON'T.
IT'LL NEVER BE THE SAME
AFTER WHAT I SAID TO HER.
COME ON, JERKOS!
DAD'S WAITING!
COME ON,
I'LL GIVE YOU A RIDE HOME.
I DON'T WANNA
GO HOME YET.
WELL, THEN,
WHERE ARE YOU GONNA GO?
COME ON.

GIRLS, COME ON.
LISA, ARE YOU PACKED?
I HOPE YOU'RE PACKED.
Dad: I WANT TO GET ON THE ROAD

LISA!
LISA, WHERE ARE YOU?

( knocking )
LISA, YOUR MOM'S

( door shuts )
HELLO?
I'VE BEEN SITTING HERE
FOR HOURS
TRYING TO CONTROL MY ANGER.
WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN
LEAVING LIKE THAT?!
I CAN'T EVEN
TRUST YOU ANYMORE!
I DIDN'T WANT TO STAY THERE
AND FIGHT WITH YOU ALL WEEKEND.
I WANTED TO BE WITH WENDY.
ARE YOU GONNA
TELL HER PARENTS?
( sighs )
NO, I'M NOT GONNA
RUIN THEIR WEEKEND.
BUT YOU AND I
HAVE SOME TALKING TO DO
WHEN YOU GET BACK HERE.
DO YOU HEAR ME?
( alarm )
( sniffs air )
( starts engine )
( chuckling )
HA HA HA HA!
( laughter )
AND THEN YOUR GRANDMA
TRIED TO SLIP YOU
A STRAIGHT SHOT OF SCOTCH.
YOU REMEMBER WHEN GRANDPA
AND ALL THE UNCLES
USED TO STAY UP AT NIGH AND PLAY CARDS.
ONE NIGHT, RALPHIE
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CUTE
TO SNEAK OUT OF BED
AND JOIN THEM.
I FOUND HIM A 3 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING
JUST PLAYING POKER.
YEAH. I LOST FIVE BUCKS.
SO, LISA, DO YOU EVER
GO VISIT YOUR GRANDMA
AND GRANDPA?
NO.
I'VE NEVER ME MY GRANDPARENTS.
THEY'VE, UH, PASSED AWAY?
WHO CARES?
THEY WANTED MY MOM
TO GET RID OF ME
BECAUSE THEY WERE
ASHAMED OF US
BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE A DAD.
AND SO SHE HAD TO RUN AWAY,
AND THEY'VE NEVER
TALKED TO US.
SO, ALL WE'VE EVER HAD
FOR FAMILY IS EACH OTHER.
( Lisa crying )
Wendy: LISA!

Lisa:

I really hope you're not

haven't I?
Please don't be
too mad at me.
I love you, Mom.
And I miss you.
I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
I love you. Bye.

HI, GUY, IT'S LISA.
I WANTED TO CALL YOU

MY NAME IS LISA.
WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME THAT?
STOP LYING TO ME.
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH!
NO, YOU'RE NOT.
LISA!
LISA!
WENDY! WHEN ARE WE LEAVING?
I DON'T KNOW.
IN A LITTLE WHILE, I GUESS.
I'VE GOTTA GET HOME, NOW!

Storekeeper: HOW-DO.
THAT'LL BE NINE DOLLARS

I NEED CHANGE

LISA?
( tape rewinding )
( beep )
Lisa: Mom?
Mom?
Are you there?
Okay. I know this is
gonna sound funny,
but if a guy named Richard calls
and tells you some big story,
don't believe him.
He's just a kid from school,
and he's playing a joke.
Better go. See ya.
( beep )
Richard: Hi.
