disgusting.
I know. They're disgusting.
I hate them.
Who was that?
Like, didn't even
wash her hands.
Good god, Paul.
Can't you keep
that f***ing pit bull
Of your wife under control?
Elliot says that Lynn says
that when dad met you,
You were a stripper.
And a coke whore.
- Mmm.
- Is that true?
- Really.
- Is that true?
Baby, it's ridiculous.
Mom, now you promise me
that's not true.
- That piece of sh*t!
- You lying whore.
What? What?
Have you been telling
your kids
That I was a stripper
and a coke whore?
Are you out of
your f***ing mind?
- I didn't say that!
- Lynn, did you say that?
- No, of course not!
- That's what Elliot told me!
F*** him!
He's a f***ing a**hole!
Oh, what a good
mother you are.
You're such a good mother.
So sweet.
Elliot has Tourette's syndrome!
He'll say anything!
He has no filter!
Meanwhile you come
waltzing into this family
And you try to
rip us f***ing apart!
I tried to rip your family
apart? Are you joking me?
I raised Dylan. I'm not
the one who abandoned him.
You could go f*** yourself!
You f***ing redneck...
Let go of her!
Goddamnit, let go of her!
fight back, didn't you?
You're goddamn right,
I'll f***ing tear you apart!
She's gone!
Get out. Get out.
You son of a b*tch.
Think you just insulted
yourself, mom.
Shut up and go
f*** yourself!
- What did I do?
- Go f*** yourself.
The hell is going on?
She grabbed me.
She grabbed me.
And she...
she strangled me.
- What? Who?
- Patty!
Patty assaulted me, Lee.
- Really?
- Really?
- And this motherf***er...
- Okay, that's weird, mom.
This motherf***er has been
drinking and doing drugs.
Calm down, calm down.
I had a few, I had anxiety,
I had a f***ing panic attack.
Let's just get in the car.
Get in the car.
Shut up!
In the car.
- She's pissed.
- Oh, she's pissed, Ben?
Thank you for telling
me that she's pissed.
Otherwise I would
have no idea, Ben.
- Door is locked.
- Oh, this f***ing thing.
Lee, open the door.
Goddamnit.
Now why the hell they
can't make these things
A little bit simpler?
It's 12:
13 ante meridian,And I'm reporting to you
live and on the scene
Outside the home
of Joe and Doris Baker
In the heart of
Queen Anne City,
Annapolis, Maryland,
Where just moments ago
The diabolical force,
known as the Hellman family,
quaint, waterfront town
Into complete and utter chaos.
self-destructive daughter,
Alice Scissorhands,
And the rather unseemly
and highly inappropriate
Behavior of their mama familias,
Some have begun to wonder,
How will tomorrow's
events unfold?
Oh, wait, one moment.
I'm getting something.
Preliminary reports
are suggesting
That no matter the outcome,
Doris Baker is
And will remain
quietly furious.
The question that begs to be
answered however, is,
Will they unite
for just one day?
Or will all hell break loose and
split this family in two
Like a Maryland blue crab?
This is Elliot Hellman reporting
to you live for F*** News.
Back over to you, Ben.
What's the name
of that tea I like?
Which one?
The one I drink.
Green tea.
No, no, it's chamomile.
So why are you asking me?
I'm asking what it's name is.
Surrender. Surrender.
Yeah. Surrender to sleep.
Jesus Christ, Lee.
Why don't you just
ask for it?
No, no.
Never turn that light on.
Mom, can I talk to you
for a minute?
No, Lynn, you can't.
Why is it you have never learned
when to just keep quiet?
I just wanted...
I know what you want.
We all know what you want, Lynn.
'cause you never
had the decency
Or the respect or the
consideration
To keep anything private.
I'm just trying
to make things better.
Yeah, yeah.
For who, Lynn? For me?
Huh? Sitting here in
the middle of the night
And I can't sleep.
I'm totally exhausted
and I can't get to sleep.
You're gonna make
things better for me?
The doctor said he's stable.
They can't do anything
else for him.
Just keep him comfortable.
It's all...
It's all I've done
my whole life,
Kept him comfortable.
when I met your father.
He was so handsome.
So tall
And strong and shy.
I miss him.
I miss the man I married.
I miss him when he's here
And I miss him
when he's not here.
Tonight I was lying
in bed and I thought
When did this happen?
When did he disappear?
When did I first fall asleep
In an empty bed?
In an empty house?
What did I do to deserve this?
What did I ever do
that was so bad?
And I know it's coming.
I know.
Every time I wake up, before
I open my eyes and listen,
Hear if he's still breathing.
I don't know what
I'm going to do...
...When I wake up and he's not.
When there's nothing
but the silence.
Just silence.
What am I going to do, Lynn?
Okay, okay, okay.
so?
There it goes, huh?
There it goes, Lynn.
You got me.
That's what you came
down here for, isn't it?
I wasn't ready.
I'm still not ready.
Things don't change, mom.
People don't change.
They don't matter.
You do, Alice.
You do.
And you can't let them
tell you who you are
Or what you're capable of,
Because if you do,
then they win.
I'm not like you, mom.
I'm not.
I wish... I can't just
block it all out.
Don't do this, Alice.
Don't let them control the way
you feel about yourself.
I can't help it.
I can't.
You're your own person.
And you're strong.
You're so goddamn
strong, Alice.
And when it was
just you and me,
And we didn't have a f***ing
soul on our side,
I looked to you.
You know,
if you don't mind, ladies,
I would just like to say how
Unbelievably gorgeous
you two look today.
Just tremendous, you know?
Stunning. Marvelous.
You know what, Elliot,
I would appreciate it
If you did not speak
for the next 24 hours.
Why?
'cause mom caught you
doing drugs and sh*t.
And, like, it's your
fault Patty went nuts.
Oh, I mean, yeah.
That's true.
could've moved on from that.
You know, as a family.
I just don't have the energy
to move on from that.
As a family.
- Oooh, sh*t.
- "Oooh, sh*t" is right.
What, you too?
No understanding.
What's the matter, dad?
When you were my age?
Not with the frequency
And degree of enthusiasm
that you do now.
You, mom? You never skin popped
a little "D" back in the '70s?
You know what, Elliot,
do me a favor.
Just go ahead.
Go, go, go get high.
Go O.D.
Ruin your f***ing life.
Because I'm giving up.
I'm just giving up.
Really? That is awesome!
Wait, really?
Let's not get into
this right now.
Can I? 'cause that
would be great.
- Elliot!
- What?
Why do you have to be
such a f***ing dick?
What are you so pissy about?
See?
You're just so immature,
you know?
When are you gonna
grow the f*** up?
You know,
sometime near the end.
Oh, there's me!
And so he sees a road sign
with a trumpet exed out on it
