The New Age (1994)

1
SIT UP STRAIGH WITH YOUR FEE ON THE FLOOR
AND EXPAND YOUR BACK.
THE FIRST THING
YOU NEED TO DO
IS TO FEEL THE EARTH'S POWER
UNDER YOUR FEET,
AND THEN YOUR SEAT.
FEEL
HOW YOU'RE SITTING,
AND THEN YOUR BACK.
KEEP YOUR NECK RELAXED,
YOUR SHOULDERS DOWN,
AND WITHOU FORCING ANYTHING,
FEEL THE CROWN
OF YOUR HEAD
REACHING FOR THE SKY.
AND NOW OBSERVE
YOUR BREATH.
WATCH YOUR BREATH
AS THOUGH YOU'RE
WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE.
THEN WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS
AS THOUGH YOU'RE WATCHING
SOMEONE ELSE.
AND DON'T CHASE AWAY
ANY IMAGES THAT COME TO YOU.
JUST WATCH THEM.
NO, NO!
WHAT? WHAT?
BARRY, WHA ARE YOU SAYING?
BUT, BARRY--BARRY,
YOU OWE ME $38,000.
BARRY--BARRY, YOU PROMISED
ME THAT MONEY.
WELL, THANK YOU, BARRY.
GOODBYE, BARRY.
WHAT DID BARRY SAY?
BARRY WAS FIRED.
WOW. THAT'S TOO BAD.
I LIKE BARRY.
[BEEP]
[BEEP]
[SOUND OF TOILE FLUSHING]
KATHERINE, WHA ARE YOU DOING?
KATHERINE,
YOU'RE ERASING
ALL THE FILES.
WAIT! WE HAVEN' BACKED UP ANY
OF THESE FILES YET.
KATHERINE,
YOU'RE DESTROYING
ALL YOUR WORK.
THE BANK DOESN'T NEED
100,000 BROCHURES
BECAUSE THE BANK
DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE.
THE BANK DOESN'T EXIS BECAUSE TOO MANY
OF ITS REAL ESTATE LOANS
WENT BAD.
ITS REAL ESTATE LOANS
WENT BAD BECAUSE IT MADE
LOANS FOR SHOPPING CENTERS
THAT CAN'T FIND
ENOUGH TENANTS.
THEY CAN'T FIND TENANTS
BECAUSE THERE ARE
TOO MANY SHOPPING CENTERS.
THERE ARE TOO MANY
SHOPPING CENTERS
BECAUSE A LO OF GREEDY FUCKS GOT LOANS
FROM CORRUPT BANKS.
[SOUND OF DUCKS QUACKING]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M GOING SHOPPING.
DAD--
DID I ASK
FOR YOUR OPINION YET?
CAROL?
UH, IT'S...O.K.
HILLY?
NO. DOESN'T WORK.
YOU DON'T THINK SO,
OR PETER DOESN' THINK SO?
DAD, IT'S VERY,
UM, HOW DO I
SAY THIS POLITELY?
IT'S WORKING
A LITTLE TOO HARD.
SAY IT.
WELL, YOU LOOK LIKE
THE OWNER OF
A DEL TACO FRANCHISE,
LIVES IN PALM SPRINGS,
GOES TO STORES
FOR GUYS WHO CRUISE
THE DISCO
AT THE HOLIDAY INN,
GOT TALKED INTO BUYING
SOMETHING A LITTLE
TOO SLICK,
BUT IF YOU LIKE IT,
BUY IT.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
IT LOOKS GREAT.
ON ME.
IT REALLY DOES.
WHAT'S THE DAMAGE?
IT'S A DEAL.
HILLY, DO YOU HAVE
A BOYFRIEND?
I HAVE A FINAC.
ISN'T THAT ROMANTIC.
DO ME A SERVICE.
ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
HOW ARE YOUR MORALS?
DAD.
I'M WORKING ON THEM.
GOOD ANSWER.
ISN'T CAROL BEAUTIFUL?
YEAH, IN A
QUICK-TRIP-TO-ACAPULCO
KIND OF WAY.
ACAPULCO?
PALM SPRINGS.
PETER, CAN I SPEAK
TO YOU A MINUTE?
YOUR CARD'S
BEEN DECLINED.
A COLLECT CALL
FROM REALITY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY
TO REALITY?
I SAY
REVERSE THE CHARGES.
NO, PETER,
THIS HASN'T BEEN
A GOOD YEAR
FOR THE AGENCY!
THINGS WILL GET BETTER.
WE HOPE SO.
THE ECONOMY--JUST HAVE
TO HANG IN THERE.
A LOT OF COMPANIES
ARE DYING.
WELL, THEY DON' HAVE THE IMAGINATION.
ENTERTAINMENT'S
RECESSION-PROOF.
REVENUES
ARE HOLDING STEADY.
COSTS KEEP
GOING UP.
I DO A LOT OF BUSINESS
FOR THIS AGENCY.
NO, YOU DON'T.
YOU'RE BRINGING IN
WHAT WE PAY YOU--
$300,000 A YEAR.
YOU'RE DOWN
TO SIX WRITERS,
AND THEY'RE HACKS.
THEY HAVEN'T GROWN
BECAUSE YOU DON' PUSH THEM OR YOURSELF.
CLIENTS COME TO YOU,
OR CAME TO YOU,
BECAUSE THEY WANTED
TO BE AROUND YOU.
YOU'RE A GUY PEOPLE
WANT TO BE AROUND,
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW
TO CLOSE A DEAL ANYMORE.
YOU DON'T TAKE
THE DETAILS
OF THE BUSINESS
SERIOUSLY ANYMORE.
YOU FOLLOW YOUR DICK
A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
I QUIT.
WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU
TO QUIT.
WHY SHOULD I STAY
AND BE INSULTED?
IT ISN'T AN INSULT.
IT'S--IT'S AN INTERVENTION.
IT'S PART OF
YOUR EDUCATION.
WE'RE TRYING
TO HELP YOU.
YOU CAN TURN
YOURSELF AROUND, PETER.
NAH. I QUIT.
THIS IS ACTUALLY
GOOD NEWS, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, I'M NEVER
GOING TO BE THE HEAD
OF THIS COMPANY,
AM I, KEVIN?
PROBABLY NOT.
THEN WHY IN HELL
SHOULD I STAY HERE?
YOU TELL ME.
I'VE BEEN A LITTLE
TOO CO-DEPENDEN HERE--
TAKING CARE OF
EVERYBODY ELSE'S
FEELINGS
INSTEAD OF MY OWN.
THAT'S MY PROBLEM.
I'VE NOT VISUALIZED
CLEARLY ENOUGH
WHAT I REALLY WANT.
THAT'S GOING
TO CHANGE.
YOU THINK I'M MAD
AT YOU?
I'M NOT MAD AT YOU.
THIS IS ACTUALLY
KIND OF A GIFT,
YOU KNOW?
I WELCOME THIS.
I WELCOME WHA MY NEXT STEP
IN MY JOURNEY WILL BE,
AND SO...
I QUIT.
GOODBYE, KEVIN.
GOODBYE, GUYS.
DO THIS FOR ME.
ARE YOU GOING
TO DO THIS FOR ME?
COME FOR ME, BABY.
YES, COME FOR ME.
COME FOR ME.
YOU CAN COME FOR ME.
YOU'RE SO SWEET.
OHH!
SORRY. SORRY.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
ARE YOU HAPPY?
YOU TOOK A BRAVE LEAP
TODAY, YOU KNOW.
HELL WITH THEM.
FACE IT. THEY'RE
NOT A GOOD AGENCY.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
YOU'RE JUST SCARED.
IT'S NORMAL
TO FEEL SCARED, PETER.
I'M NOT SCARED.
DO I LOOK SCARED?
I'M NOT SCARED.
DON'T ASK ME TO GO
BY HOW YOU LOOK.
YOU ALWAYS LOOK GREAT.
THAT'S ONE OF
THE SCARIEST THINGS
ABOUT YOU.
NO ONE EVER KNOWS
WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
I'M THINKING
ABOUT YOU, ALISON.
YOU'RE SO SWEET.
I'LL CALL YOU.
[DOOR CLOSES]
"HAP KNOWS I FOUND
THE GOLD.
HE'S KEEPING ME
A PRISONER."
PRISONER?
I ALWAYS SAID THA HAP WAS NO GOOD.
[HORSES RUNNING]
[GUNSHOTS]
IT'S INTERESTING,
ISN'T IT?
WHAT?
LASER DISCS
ARE BETTER
THAN VIDEOTAPE.
THAT'S OBVIOUS,
BUT VINYL--REAL RECORDS
SOUND BETTER THAN CDs.
DIGITAL IS WEIRD.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
THE GYM.
OHH.
YOU MUST'VE HAD
QUITE A WORKOUT.
I DID.
I WAS, UH--
I HAVE A LO OF TENSION.
HMM. YOU NEEDED TO SWEAT.
YES.
YOU'RE STILL SWEATING.
WELL,
WHAT CAN I SAY?
I GOT A LO ON MY MIND.
YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT'S
BOTHERING YOU, PETER.
I'M YOUR WIFE.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO.
UH, PETER WITNER?
YEAH.
CONGRATULATIONS,
PETER.
YOU'VE BEEN SELECTED
AS A GRAND-PRIZE WINNER
IN A NATIONWIDE COMPETITION,
AND YOU'RE ELIGIBLE
FOR ONE OF THREE
FANTASTIC GRAND PRIZES.
ARE YOU PROUD
OF YOURSELF?
IS THIS WHA YOU WANTED TO BE
WHEN YOU GREW UP?
DAMN TELEPHONE SALESMEN.
WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
YOU WERE SAYING?
I QUIT WORK TODAY.
YOU QUIT WORK?
YEAH.
YOU QUI WITHOUT TELLING ME
YOU WERE GONNA QUIT?
I'M TELLING YOU NOW.
PETER!
WHAT?
THIS WAS A BAD TIME
FOR YOU TO QUIT.
I LOST MY BIGGES ACCOUNT TODAY.
EVERYBODY'S CUTTING BACK,
YOU KNOW?
THERE REALLY IS NO WORK
ANYMORE.
WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME?
BY THE TIME I PAY
FOR MATERIALS AND STAFF,
I'M NOT EVEN
BREAKING EVEN,
AND NOW YOU
GO AND QUIT.
WHAT ARE YOU
GONNA DO?
THE QUESTION IS,
WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
THAT'S THE QUESTION.
WE'RE A COUPLE.
YOU'RE NOT BEHAVING
LIKE SOMEONE
IN A COUPLE, PETER.
YOU DIDN' HAVE TO QUIT.
WHAT DID YOU BUY?
NOTHING.
EXPENSIVE NOTHING.
YOUR BUSINESS IS CRASHING,
AND YOU GO SHOPPING?
YOU'D DO THE SAME,
AND THEY WERE ON SALE.
DON'T APOLOGIZE.
LET ME SEE.
NO.
I JUST WANT TO SEE
WHAT YOU BOUGHT.
IT'S ALL GOING BACK.
WHAT'S THIS?
NOTHING.
INTERESTING.
IT'S JUST SOME, YOU KNOW,
HIPPIE THING
SARAH GAVE ME.
WHAT IS THIS?
YOU NEED A MASSAGE.
FINE. I'LL CALL LOUISA.
NO, FROM ME. NOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO TRY
TO FUCK ME.
I DON'T WAN TO FUCK YOU
RIGHT NOW.
I'M NOT GONNA
DO ANYTHING
YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.
THIS IS NICE,
ISN'T IT?
MMM.
YES, THIS IS NICE.
STRANGE PLACE
TO HAVE A MASSAGE THOUGH,
IN A RESTAURANT...
WITH PEOPLE WATCHING.
YOU'RE NO PLAYING FAIR.
ALL THOSE PEOPLE
AT THE BAR WATCHING.
WHAT DOES THE BARTENDER
LOOK LIKE?
LIKE AN OLD TRUCK.
LIKE A BEAUTIFUL
OLD TRUCK.
UH-OH.
HERE HE COMES.
HE'S WALKING
AROUND THE BAR,
AND HE'S COMING
THIS WAY,
AND I THINK HE WANTS
TO KISS YOU
WHILE I MASSAGE YOUR BACK.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
KEEP YOUR EYES CLOSED.
THE BARTENDER--
THE BARTENDER
CAN'T CONTROL HIMSELF.
HE HAS TO PROBE
A LITTLE DEEPER.
AND A LITTLE DEEPER.
THERE ARE THINGS
HE JUST HAS TO KNOW.
LIKE WHAT?
LIKE...
LIKE--LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT FAIR, YOU KNOW,
THE WAY YOU MAKE LOVE
TO ME.
IT'S NOT FAIR.
IT'S NOT REAL.
I DON'T THINK
YOU'RE REALLY HERE.
BUT YOU LIKE IT.
MAYBE IT'S TOO EASY
TO LIKE.
MAYBE I SHOULDN' HAVE QUIT.
MAYBE NOT.
WE AREN' IN GOOD SHAPE NOW,
ARE WE, YOU AND I?
TERRIBLE.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
BETWEEN US
THAT WE'RE NOT SAYING.
DO YOU LOVE ME?
DO YOU LOVE ME?
WELL, IF THINGS
GET REALLY BAD,
WE'LL JUST THROW A PARTY
AND BLOW OUR BRAINS OUT.
MAKE THE GUESTS
DO THE CLEANUP.
PLEASE. THAT'S
SO UNFAIR TO THEM.
WELL, THEN,
LET'S THROW A PARTY.
YEAH. THAT'S
A LOVELY IDEA.
WE HAVEN'T THROWN ONE
IN SIX MONTHS.
I THINK WE NEED I TO SHAKE SOMETHING UP,
DON'T YOU THINK,
KATHERINE?
KATHERINE,
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[DOORBELL RINGS]
KATHERINE.
KATHERINE?
HI.
HELLO.
DAD.
I HATE THAT WORD.
NOT IN FRONT OF EMILY.
HI, EMILY.

WHERE'D YOU MEET HER?
ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL?
LOVELY.
[PLAYS CLASSICAL PIECE]

THAT'S THE ONLY PIECE

IT'S IMPORTANT,
BUT WE'LL

RIGHT.
HI, SARAH.

THIS IS JEAN LEVY.
JEAN'S FROM FRANCE.
BELGIUM.
LA BELGIQUE.
AND HE'S
WONDERFUL.
JEAN'S A TEACHER,
A SPIRITUAL TEACHER.
GOOD FOOD?
OH, PETER.

EDROUCHET. IT'S
THE FIRST PAINTING
I EVER BOUGHT.
TINA.
NICE PARTY.
PETER. GLAD
YOU THINK SO.
WELL, PEOPLE
ARE, UM, VERY FRIENDLY.
CAN I ASK YOU
A QUESTION?
YOU CAN ASK ME
ANY QUESTION.
REALLY?
MM-HMM.
ANY QUESTION?
SURE.
HOW ARE
YOUR MORALS TONIGHT?
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
HOW ARE YOUR MORALS--
KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL?
DO YOU CARE?
THAT'S A STRANGE THING
TO SAY
WHEN YOUR WIFE'S
20 FEET AWAY.
MM-HMM.
WHO'D YOU COME HERE
WITH?
MY FRIEND NANCY.
SO, UH, HOW ARE
YOUR MORALS?
SORT OF WEAK.
AND YOURS?
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST CAN'T SEEM
TO FIND THEM.
WELL, DON'T LOOK
TOO HARD.
YOU MIGHT SPOIL
THE FUN.
PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE
SOMETHING TO EAT.
SOMETHING--YES.
AND SOME WINE.
YES, SOME RED WINE
WOULD BE FINE.
NOBODY TAUGHT YOU
TO BE A MAN.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
NOBODY TAUGHT YOU
TO BE A MAN.
IT BOTHERS YOU
TO BE LOOKED AT THIS WAY?
WELL, IT'S NO WHAT I'M USED TO.
YOU NEED IT.
YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
EVERYBODY'S
IN TROUBLE.
I SEE BLOCKED
ENERGIES.
ENERGIES TURN BACK
ON THEMSELVES.
I SEE YOU TRYING
TO CANCEL YOURSELF OUT.
WHAT ABOUT HER?
WHAT ABOUT THAT WOMAN
OVER THERE?
YOUR WIFE SHARES
SOME OF YOUR WEAKNESS.
ALSO, SHE'S
ANGRY AT YOU.
SHE DOESN'T TRUST YOU.
WE HAVE A RETREAT CENTER
IN LONG PINE.
COME TO LONG PINE.
YOU NEED IT.
BOTH OF YOU.
DON'T BE AFRAID
OF CHANGE.
BUT I AM AFRAID
OF CHANGE.
EVERY TIME I MAKE
A CHANGE, I REGRET IT.
PETER. AHEM.
HI.
LISTEN, RYAN
INVITED ME.
I DIDN'T MAKE
THE CONNECTION.
YOUR WIFE
INVITED HIM.
HE SAID KATHERINE,
NOT THE LAST NAME.
I DIDN'T MAKE
THE CONNECTION.
DON'T SWEAT IT.
O.K. THANK YOU.
I MEAN, I'M NO THE BIGGEST BELIEVER
IN MONOGAMY,
BUT THIS IS A LITTLE
EMBARRASSING FOR ME.
UH-HUH.
SO IS RYAN
THE LOVE
OF YOUR LIFE?
HOW DARE YOU
BE JEALOUS.
God.
NO.
MARY, HI.
LAURA, HI.
LYLE, HI.
I THOUGHT YOU
WERE OUTSIDE.
HOW ARE YOU, LAURA?
NEVER BETTER.
WHAT CAN I GET YOU?
DO YOU WAN TO SIT DOWN?
WE'RE GONNA

TONIGHT.
LOOK ALL YOU WANT.
HERE SHE IS.
LAURA, HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD.
DO YOU WAN TO SIT DOWN?
NO, I WAN TO STAND.
O.K. LYLE.
PETER.
EXCUSE ME.
[BABY CRIES]
HEY, PETER.
PAUL, HOW ARE YOU?
HI, CHRIS.
WE COULDN'T GE A BABYSITTER.
ISN'T SHE CUTE?
I DIDN'T WAN A BABYSITTER.
I TALKED TO KEVIN
THIS MORNING.
REALLY?
HE SEEMED VERY GOOD
ABOUT ALL THIS.
THE WORLD THINKS
YOU LEFT OVER
A COMPENSATION ISSUE.
HE'S TALKED
TO STUDIO PEOPLE.
HE LIKES YOU.
I DON'T CARE.
QUITTING
WAS MY IDEA.
WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED
IN RUNNING
BUSINESS AFFAIRS
FOR A TELEVISION
SYNDICATOR?
THAT'S NO WHAT I HAD IN MIND.
FINE. PETER,
TELL ME WHA YOU WANT.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING
UNLESS YOU KNOW.
WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WAN TO DO
TO MAKE A LIVING?
YOU WANT TO TO GO
INTO BUSINESS
WITH A PRODUCER?
I WANT TO DO
SOMETHING, PAUL.
I WANT TO,
YOU KNOW,
I WANT TO DO
SOMETHING THAT USES
THE BEST OF ME.
THAT USES
THE BEST OF ME.
WELL, THAT'S
A BEGINNING.
SO WHAT WOULD YOU SAY
IF I TOLD YOU
I WAS THINKING
ABOUT GETTING OU OF HOLLYWOOD, PAUL?
WHEN YOU SAIL
BEYOND THE HORIZON,
YOU FALL OFF THE EDGE
OF THE WORLD.
FORGET WHA THEY TAUGHT YOU
IN SCHOOL.
THE EARTH IS FLAT.
LOOK, WE REALLY
CAN'T STAY.
WE'RE TAKING SUZANNAH
TO SANTA BARBARA TOMORROW.
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING
TO ME.
GOOD NIGHT, PAUL.
KADOS, KADOS,
KADOS, KADOS.
HEDENNOI. ELLOI.
ZENA. OATH.
OCHI MANWELL.
WISDOM. WAY.
LIFE. VIRTUE.
OPEN THOSE THINGS
WHICH ARE CLOSE TO YOU.
AMEN.
HE CHEATS ON YOU.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
LOOK AT HIM--
THE WAY HE TALKS TO WOMEN.
THE BODY LANGUAGE.
WHEN HE GOES
ON BUSINESS TRIPS,
HE TAKES OFF
HIS WEDDING RING.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT.
YOU'RE A TROPHY.
THERE'S A LO OF DUST ON THIS
OLD TROPHY.
YOU JUST NEED
TO BE POLISHED.
YOU'RE NOT SO YOUNG.
I'M NOT 16.
I BET YOU'VE
BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK,
MR. SMARTY.
COUPLE OF TIMES.
MORE THAN A COUPLE.
SO I'VE RUN A MARATHON
OR TWO.
I BET YOU HAVE.
DO SOMETHING STUPID.
LEAVE THE PARTY
WITH ME.
I'M NOT GOING
TO LEAVE MY OWN PARTY
WITH A 26-YEAR-OLD...
ACTOR?
I AM NOT AN ACTOR.
WELL, WHAT?
I'M A BUSINESSMAN.
I OWN A COFFEE HOUSE.
IT'S CALLED
INSOMNIA.
OH, I'VE BEEN THERE.
I'VE SEEN YOU THERE.
YOU'VE SEEN
ME THERE.
YES.
YOU'VE BEEN
WATCHING ME
ALL NIGHT.
YES.
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING
EACH OTHER.
I WON'T BITE.
THEN YOU'RE LIKE
ALL THE MEN
IN THIS TOWN--
ALL TALK, NO TEETH.
COME ON.
OHH.
EXPERIENCE IN SENSATION.
CONSCIENCE POLICE.
YOU HAVE NO JURISDICTION
IN THIS TERRITORY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
FOLLOWING MY BLISS.
SHE LEFT.
WHO?
YOUR WIFE.
SHE LEFT WITH SOMEONE.
YOU MUST EMBRACE THE THING
THAT HURTS YOU.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
LIVE WITH THE QUESTION.
I'VE NEVER
DONE THIS BEFORE.
MY HUSBAND DOES IT.
I LIKE YOU.
IT'S FUNNY HOW PEOPLE
CONNECT, ISN'T IT?
[PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC]
IS IT MY FAULT THINGS
ARE SO FUCKED UP
BETWEEN US?
IT'S MY FAULT?
I DIDN'T SAY
IT'S YOUR FAULT.
THERE'S NO
RIGHT OR WRONG.
PLEASE. COULD YOU
TELL THE TRUTH
ONCE IN YOUR LIFE?
YOU WOULDN' RECOGNIZE IT.
OH, O.K. O.K.
SO, HOW HAVE I
HELD YOU BACK?
YOU HAVEN' HELD ME BACK.
ONE PERSON CANNOT HOLD
ANOTHER PERSON BACK.
THAT'S A JUDGMENT.
THERE'S NO VICTIM HERE.
I FEEL HELD BACK.
THESE ARE MY FEELINGS.
LIKE WHAT YOU DID
LAST NIGHT.
THAT HURTS ME.
I FEEL HURT BY THAT.
MAYBE THAT'S
MY WAKE-UP CALL.
I REALIZE MY LIFE
ISN'T ON TRACK.
MAYBE I'M ON A DETOUR,
A SUBPATH.
SO I NEED SUPPORT.
I DON'T FEEL
ANY SUPPORT FROM YOU.
LIKE QUITTING MY JOB--
THAT'S A SUBPATH.
DO I HEAR,
"GREAT, HONEY"?
"I'LL HELP YOU
FIND YOUR DREAM."
NO. I HEAR, "WHAT ARE WE
GOING TO DO FOR MONEY?"
WHAT IS MONEY? HUH?
MONEY ISN'T MONEY.
MONEY'S JUST AN EXPRESSION
OF SOMETHING ELSE.
MONEY WILL EXPRESS ITSELF.
IF WE NEED MONEY,
MONEY WILL EXPRESS ITSELF.
IT'S LIKE LOVE.
IF THERE'S LOVE HERE,
LOVE WILL EXPRESS ITSELF.
I JUST NEED SUPPORT,
KATHERINE.
I NEED A PUSH.
I NEED A GODDAMN PUSH.
YOU'D FALL OVER.
YOU'D BREAK.
YOU'D LIKE TO THINK SO,
WOULDN'T YOU?
I MEAN, I'M TRYING TO GE TO SOMETHING HERE,
TO THE BOTTOM
OF SOMETHING.
YOU COULD
AT LEAST BE NICE.
IT'S YOUR BIG WEAPON,
ISN'T IT?
IT'S WHAT EVERYBODY
ADORES ABOUT YOU.
I WASN'T NICE
LAST NIGHT.
NO.
[CHUCKLING]
YOU WERE BAD.
DON'T BE CUTE.
YOU QUIT YOUR JOB
WITH NO PLACE
ELSE TO GO.
YOU CAN'T AFFORD
TO BE CUTE.
IT'S JUST MY INNER CHILD
SHOWING THROUGH.
YOUR INNER CHILD
IS RUNNING US
INTO BANKRUPTCY.
WHY DON'T YOU
GET IN TOUCH
WITH YOUR
INNER ADULT?
WHY ARE WE SO AWFUL?
YOU'RE THE MYSTIC
IN THIS FAMILY.
AREN'T WE SUPPOSED
TO THINK POSITIVELY?
I'M TRYING,
LIKE I'M TRYING
TO FIND WORK,
YOU KNOW?
BUT I'VE CALLED
EVERYBODY.
NOBODY NEEDS
A GRAPHIC DESIGNER.
WE HAVE TO FIND
SOME WORK, PETER.
WE HAVE ABOUT 30 DAYS
LEFT IN THE BANK,
AND THEN WE'RE BROKE.
AND IF WE DON' FIND SOME MONEY,
WE'LL HAVE TO STAR SELLING PAINTINGS,
ONE BY ONE.
AND THEN THE HOUSE.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT.
CUT TO THE CHASE.
I HATE THAT LINE.
YOU GONNA CRITICIZE
EVERYTHING I SAY,
OR ARE YOU GONNA
TALK TO ME?
SHOULD WE GE A DIVORCE?
WHAT?
WHO'S TALKING
ABOUT A DIVORCE,
KATHERINE?
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU SLEEP
WITH A GUY ONCE,
AND YOU WAN A DIVORCE?
ARE YOU IN LOVE?
NO.
I NEED SOME SPACE.
SPACE.
WE BOTH NEED SPACE.
I'M SO IN LOVE
WITH YOU, PETER,
BUT I'M GOING
OUT OF MY MIND.
IF I HAD SOME MONEY,
I'D BUY A CONDO,
YOU KNOW,
BUT I CAN'T EVEN
AFFORD RENT.
I CAN'T KICK YOU
OUT OF THE HOUSE.
IT'S YOURS
AS MUCH AS MINE.
WE'VE GOT TO GE SOME MONEY, PETER.
WELL, I'M TRYING, BABY.
YOU KNOW,
I'M TRYING, O.K.?
WE HAVE TO TRY HARDER.
PETER...
THIS IS WHA I'VE BEEN THINKING.
WE BOTH STAY
LIVING IN THE HOUSE,
BUT WE HAVE
OUR OWN LIVES.
YOU KNOW?
WE LIVE SEPARATELY.
JUST FOR A WHILE.
O.K.?
I COULD TAKE MY OFFICE,
AND YOU COULD
TAKE THE BEDROOM.
JUST FOR A WHILE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
YOU TAKE THE BEDROOM.
THAT'S GENEROUS.
THAT'S
VERY GENEROUS...
BUT IT WAS MY IDEA.
YOU TAKE THE BEDROOM.
O.K.
O.K.
MAYBE WE SHOULD
GO DANCING.
GOD, IT'S BEEN SO LONG
SINCE I'VE BEEN DANCING.
WANT TO GO DANCING?
YEAH. I'D LIKE
TO DO THAT.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
POVERTY.
WORK.
I'M NOT AFRAID
OF WORK.
YOU WORK.
I WORK.
NO. I MEAN REAL WORK.
THAT'S WHA WE'RE AFRAID OF--
JOBS, REGULAR JOBS.
WORKING FOR A BOSS
ON A SALARY,
BY THE HOUR.
NO EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
NO EXPENSE ACCOUNT?
YIKES.
GOD, I'D KILL MYSELF.
REALLY?
WHAT JEAN MEANS
IS THAT EVERYONE
IS GOOD AT SOMETHING,
BUT SOMETIMES
THEY DON'T WAN TO ADMIT WHAT THAT IS
BECAUSE THEY THINK THA IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING
THAT THEY SHOULDN'T DO.
SO, WHAT ARE
YOU GOOD AT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
IF THE TWO OF YOU
COULD DO ANYTHING
RIGHT NOW,
IF YOU COULD
GO ANYWHERE,
WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
SHOPPING.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
WE'D GO SHOPPING.
AH HA HA!
THAT'S WHA WE'RE GOOD AT--
SHOPPING AND TALKING.
YEAH. WE'D
GO SHOPPING.
THERE'S YOUR ANSWER.
YOU KNOW,
IN CHINESE,
THE WORD FOR "CRISIS"
IS THE SAME AS THE WORD
FOR "OPPORTUNITY."
IF I ASK HIM
TO EXPLAIN,
HE'LL SAY,
LIVE WITH THE QUESTION.
NO. I KNOW
WHAT HE MEANS.
IT'S SO...
IT'S SO CLEAR.
IT'S BRILLIANT.
HE WANTS US
TO OPEN A STORE.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
SHOPPING
AND TALKING--
A STORE.
WHAT KIND OF STORE?
WHAT ARE WE SELLING?
LIVE WITH THE QUESTION.
AN EYEGLASS STORE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
GLASSES.
YOU NEED A SPECIAL
LICENSE FOR THAT.
WELL...
TECHNICALLY,
ANYWAY.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
WHAT ABOUT, UH...
A FRANCHISE
FOR A COPY STORE?
OH, GOD.
WHAT'S WRONG
WITH THAT?
OH, GOD.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN,
"OH, GOD"?

THERE'S LOTS OF WAYS
TO MAKE MONEY.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE

I KNOW I'M SICK.
I KNOW I WORRY
ABOUT LOOKING COOL,
BUT YOU WORRY ABOU LOOKING COOL, TOO.
DON'T TELL ME
YOU DON'T.
I KNOW, BUT I'M
WORKING ON IT.
NO ONE EVEN
KNOWS ME
NO ONE EVER STARES
SHOULDN'T BE

WE'LL HAVE THE FIRS SMALL DEPARTMENT STORE
FOR ALL

IF WE'RE SO GOOD
AT SHOPPING,
WE DO THE SHOPPING

THE STORE STOCKS
OUR TASTE--
A FEW GOOD SHIRTS,
DRESSES.
BUT HOW'S IT GOING
TO BE DIFFEREN FROM ANY OTHER STORE?
I KNEW YOU'D ASK
THAT QUESTION.
THE STOCK CHANGES

SO THE CUSTOMERS
KEEP COMING BACK
TO SEE WHAT WE'VE GO FROM WEEK TO WEEK.
IT'S WHERE PEOPLE GO
WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE TIME,
BUT THEY COME TO US
WHEN THEY KNOW WHA THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.
YEAH. WHAT THEY NEED.
IT'S PERFECT.
LISTEN, SLOGAN--
HIPOCRACY...

POSSIBILITIES.
OH. OH, YEAH.

YOU'RE VERY BRAVE
TO OPEN AN EXPENSIVE
CLOTHING STORE

THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING
FOR KATHERINE AND ME.
GIVE US YOUR BLESSING.
I WISH YOU
THE BEST OF LUCK.
REALLY.
THANKS, DAD.
THE MIRRORS BEHIND
THE CASH REGISTER,
THEY'RE TOO SMALL.
DO YOU THINK THAT WILL
MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
IT MIGHT.
NOW THAT'S LOVELY.
OH, THE BELT?
ISN'T THAT FABULOUS?
THE LEATHER
COMES FROM ITALY,
AND THE BUCKLE'S
FROM A DESIGNER
IN NEW YORK.
IT'S GORGEOUS.
WE THINK SO.
AND THE--
HOW MUCH IS IT?
IT-IT'S 400.
YOU KNOW, IT WOULD
LOOK WONDERFUL WITH, UM...

WHAT ABOUT YOU?
I DON'T KNOW.
PRETTY TIRED.
YOU CAN'T COME
TO MY ROOM.

[SINGING IN HAWAIIAN]

I PROMISE.
SO DON'T BE AFRAID.
IS IT VERY BITTER?
YES, BUT THAT'S O.K.
I KNOW THAT'S O.K.
PETER, MAY I PLEASE
ASK YOU TO HOLD THIS?
IT'S THE MASCULINE

THE FEMININE PRINCIPLE.
AND, BOTH TOGETHER,
THEY BRING FORTH
THE SOUND VIBRATION
OF WHOLENESS.
[RINGING]
YOU READY?
HI.
IT'S TIME TO SAY
GOODBYE NOW.
[CHIMING]
SHE'S GOING
TO THE OTHER SIDE NOW.
DO YOU REALLY
BELIEVE THAT?
LET'S NOT TURN THIS
INTO A DEBATE
ABOUT RELIGION.
IT'S NOT ABOUT A DEBATE.
I THINK PETER
WANTS SOME COMFORT.
THAT'S WHA RITUALS ARE FOR.
SUICIDE.
SELF-DELIVERANCE.
I THOUGHT YOU DIDN' GO TO HEAVEN
IF YOU KILLED
YOURSELF.
THE TRADITIONS
DON'T AGREE.
I THINK YOU CAN,
IF YOU'RE CLEAR
ABOUT IT.
IF YOU'RE NOT,
YOU COME BACK
AND YOU'VE
LEARNED SOMETHING.
IT SCARES ME.
IT TAKES COURAGE.
IT TAKES
JUST AS MUCH COURAGE
TO DIE AS TO LIVE.

O.K.
A SMALL SIGN.
WELL, IF THEY CAN'T SEE IT,
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE?
O.K., A BIG ONE.
LET'S TURN OFF THE MUSIC.
WHY?

THE ONLY WAY
TO GET THE ANSWER
TO YOUR QUESTIONS,
TO QUESTIONS
YOU DIDN'T EVEN
KNOW YOU HAD,
IS THROUGH THE BODY.
YOU DON'T NEED
ANYTHING ELSE.
ALL YOU NEED IS A BODY.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

WE'VE GOT TO CHANGE
SOMETHING.
I FEEL LIKE
KILLING MYSELF.
I REALLY FEEL
LIKE KILLING MYSELF.
IT'S NOT A JOKE.
I'M COMPLETELY
CONFUSED.
I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO.
WE'RE GOING TO FAIL.
I DON'T SEE
ANY WAY OUT.
WE'VE GOT TO HOLD ON
TO LIFE.
WHY?
LAURA KILLED HERSELF.
LAURA?
LAURA WAS IN PAIN.
SHE WAS DYING IN PAIN.
I AM IN PAIN.
I'M IN PAIN.
EVERY SECOND
I FEEL LIKE
I WAS BORN
FOR NO REASON,
THAT MY LIFE'S
JUST ANOTHER LIFE.
WHAT CAN'T I GO
THE WAY SHE WENT?
WHY CAN'T I JUS CHECK OUT?
MAYBE LOSE A LITTLE
KARMA FOR IT,
BUT COME BACK AGAIN
AS A TREE
OR SOMETHING.
THEN WORK MY WAY
BACK UP THE LADDER.
MAYBE I'M BEING PUNISHED
IN THIS LIFE
FOR SOME SHI IN MY PAST.
MAYBE I'M SUPPOSED
TO DIE NOW.
MAYBE DEATH
IS CALLING ME.
THAT'S WHA IT FEELS LIKE, ANYWAY.
THERE'S A VOICE--
IT'S THE ANGEL
OF DEATH.
HE'S CALLING ME,
SAYING,
"HERE. I'M YOUR FRIEND.
JOIN ME."
DON'T YOU
HEAR THAT VOICE?
YOU HAVEN'T EARNED
YOUR DEATH.
DON'T YOU
HEAR THAT VOICE?
NO.
YOU'RE LYING.
YOU ARE LYING.

RIGHT, SOMETIMES.
EVERYBODY DOES.
NOT THE WAY WE DO, NO.
WE'RE A LITTLE CLOSER,
YOU AND ME.
AND I BE YOUR FANTASY IS PRETTY
WELL WORKED OUT, TOO.
I'LL BET YOU KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE
GOING TO WEAR.
WELL, I KNOW
IT ISN'T BLACK.
BLACK'S TOO OBVIOUS.

NO, THAT'S TRUE.

THAT'S SORT OF ROMANTIC.
I THINK I ALWAYS
JUST PRETENDED
I WAS HAPPY.
YEAH, THAT SHOULD WORK.
JERI WILL LOOK
PRETTY GOOD IN THIS,
DON'T YOU THINK?
OH, THESE ARE JUS FANTASIES.
JERI WILL LOOK AWESOME.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
SHE'D LOOK GOOD.
CASH OR CHARGE?
PLASTIC.
THAT'S 70% OFF,
RIGHT?
YES.
HOMELESSNESS
IS A POSSIBILITY.
I KNOW THAT.
HOMELESS...
SLEEPING IN OUR CAR,
WASHING IN THE BATHROOM
AT A LIBRARY,
EATING GARBAGE.
THAT COULD HAPPEN.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO!
PEOPLE LIVING ON THE STREE WEREN'T BORN THERE.
YOU KEEP FALLING,
THERE'S NO BOTTOM.
THINK NAVAJOS
HAD CHILDREN
WHENEVER THEY WANTED?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
WE WERE ALL BORN
BECAUSE THE ECONOMY
WAS EXPANDING.
NOW IT'S COLLAPSING.
THE WORLD
DOESN'T NEED US.
IN THE OLD DAYS,
LAWS OF NATURE
KEPT EVERYTHING IN BALANCE.
PEOPLE WERE IN HARMONY
WITH NATURE.

UH, YEAH.

IF YOU LISTEN...
IF YOU REALLY LISTEN
WITHOUT JUST LISTENING

YOU CAN HEAR THE SILENCE.

CHOSE TO BE BORN...
THE SILENCE IN WHICH
WE CHOSE OUR PARENTS...
THE SILENCE IN WHICH
WE CHOOSE OUR LIVES.
THE SILENCE IN WHICH
WE CAN CHOOSE OUR DEATH.
CHOOSE OUR DEATH?
TO BE BORN HUMAN
AND NOT A SNAKE...
IS A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY.
ASK YOURSELF...
WHO WISHES TO DIE?
WHO?
FOR WHOM?
WOULD YOUR DEATH
BE APPROPRIATE?
WOULD YOUR DEATH
BE ADEQUATE?

WHERE ARE YOU?
I NEED A JOB!
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
ANYONE IN THIS ROOM
HAD A REAL VACATION?
I WANT TO KNOW.
I REALLY WANT TO KNOW.
I VISITED MY PARENTS
IN MASSACHUSETTS
LAST MONTH.
WHO PAID FOR
THE FUCKING TICKET?
MY MOTHER.
I'M NOT TALKING ABOU TWO WEEKS IN PITTSFIELD.
THAT'S NOT A VACATION.
I'M TALKING ABOU ACAPULCO,
MARGARITAS,
SEX.
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU HAD SEX
IN A GOOD HOTEL ROOM
WITH THE SOUND
OF THE OCEAN OUTSIDE?
WHEN'S THE LAST TIME
YOU ORDERED ROOM SERVICE?
I DID LAST WEEK.
ANYBODY ELSE?
MR. KOVARUBIAS HERE
WAS IN THE NEXT ROOM,
AND HE WAS GETTING LAID.
AIN'T THAT RIGHT,
MR. KOVARUBIAS?
THIS JOB IS ABOU MAKING MONEY.
YOU'RE GOING
TO GET ON THOSE PHONES,
AND YOU'LL REMEMBER
THAT THE PERSON
YOU'RE SELLING TO
IS A THIEF!
AND I CAN PROVE
HE'S A THIEF.
HE'S A THIEF BECAUSE
HE'S GOT YOUR MONEY,
AND YOU'RE GOING TO DO
EVERYTHING YOU CAN
TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK.
THIS IS YOUR SCRIPT.
EVERY POSSIBLE OBJECTION
THAT ANYONE CAN HAVE
TO THE PITCH
IS IN THIS SCRIPT.
YOU'RE GOING TO GET DOWN
INTO THESE PHONES.
YOU HAVE TO
VISUALIZE YOURSELF
IN THAT LITTLE PET STORE,
IN THAT LITTLE
YOGURT STORE,
IN THAT LITTLE FLOWER SHOP.
YOU HAVE TO SEE YOURSELF
MAKING FRIENDS WITH THEM,
TALKING WITH THEM,
STROKING THEM,
SO CONFIDENT OF YOURSELF
AND OF THE LIE
YOU'RE TELLING
THAT YOU GET RADIOACTIVE.
YOU START TO GLOW.
WHY?
SO THEY'LL DO
WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO.
WHAT DO YOU
WANT THEM TO DO?
YOU WAN MOM AND POP AMERICA
TO REACH DOWN
IN THEIR POCKETS,
PULL OUT THEIR WALLETS,
AND READ YOU THE NUMBER
OFF THEIR CREDIT CARD.
AND WHEN YOU HAVE THAT,
YOU'LL HAVE SOMETHING
FAR MORE PRECIOUS
THAN MY RESPECT.

KATHERINE,
I HAVE WONDERFUL NEWS.
I DON'T THINK WE HAVE
TO SELL THE HOUSE YET.
I HAD A GREAT SUCCESS
TODAY.
EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
I BULLSHITTED AN OLD LADY
IN A FLOWER SHOP.
98 CENTS WORTH OF...PENS
FOR 149 BUCKS,
AND A $5.00 CLOCK.
IT WOULD JUST FLOAT AWAY
IF IT DIDN'T HAVE
A BATTERY TO WEIGH IT DOWN.
SO SHE'S GOING TO PAY
$80 IN SHIPPING COSTS
BECAUSE...
BECAUSE SHE THINKS SHE'S
WON IT AS A PRIZE AND...
THAT'S WHAT I DID TODAY.
AND I DID IT BRILLIANTLY.
AND I'M ONE OF
THOSE GUYS NOW.
HMM.
KATHERINE?
KATHERINE?
DON'T TURN AROUND.
THERE'S YOUR SUIT.
I'LL BE DOWNSTAIRS.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD
TAKE A SHOWER
AND POUR YOURSELF
A DRINK.
IT'S A PITCHER
OF MARGARITAS.
I THOUGHT OF CHAMPAGNE,
BUT, YOU KNOW,
SOMETIMES THE BUBBLES
ARE JUST SO OBVIOUS.
TEQUILA IS SO MEXICAN.
SO DAY OF THE DEAD.
[PIANO PLAYING
SOMBER MUSIC]
KATHERINE?
HERE I AM.
WOW.
WHEN YOU'RE CALLING
ON THE ANGEL OF DEATH,
YOU HAVE TO
CALL IN STYLE.
DON'T YOU THINK?
MAY I...
MAY I PROPOSE A TOAST?
OF COURSE.
TILL DEATH DO US PART.
I CAN ONLY DO THIS...
IF YOU KNOW
THAT I LOVE YOU.
DO YOU KNOW
THAT I LOVE YOU?
