Burning Palms Page #3

Synopsis: In Santa Monica, a woman becomes alarmingly concerned over her fiancé's unnaturally close relationship with his teenage daughter. In Westwood, a sexual act turns into a psychological obsession for a young woman. In West Hollywood, a gay couple buys a young daughter and attempts to mold her to fit their lifestyle. In Holmby Hills, maladjusted kids and their equally maladjusted nanny play murderous games. In Sherman Oaks, a rape victim faces her violator. In these five stories, one thing is clear, everything is taken to extremes in California.

well as you think you do

mister smartypants.

Let's say I want it

Let's say l want

What's over there

Let's say I know it

Let's say I've

know it anywhere

'Cause there 's

just some things

You know what's not

and what is

It's just like honey

And when you get

a taste of it

So baby, what I know

There 's no stop

'cause you are go

No way l can tame it

But baby, I can name it

You're so pony, so

very, very pony, pony

You Te so pony,

so very, so very pony

You ain't no one-trick

You Te more like

the triple crown

You ain't no one-

Wait.

Wait. Stop.

What's wrong?

Nothing.

I just really like you.

Oh, yeah,

me too.

You know that thing you asked

me to do the other night?

Yeah.

Do you still want

me to do it?

I don't want you

to do anything

that you're not

comfortable with.

I know.

So?

So do you still

want me to do it?

Wen, yeah.

It's lower.

Okay.

Lower.

Oh, baby.

That's it.

Oh, yeah.

That's it, babe.

Babe.

Yeah?

What are you doing?

Nothing.

Well, come back to bed.

Okay. Be there

in a sec.

All of these

are peripheral neuropathies

and the term

Charcot-Marie Tooth

is a term that was coined

by the three French physicians

earlier in the century

to identify the syndrome.

Now, all of these, as I said,

are peripheral neuropathies

which affect the nerves-

Hi.

Hey, babe,

what 's cooking?

Nothing. I'm

just shopping.

Oh, yeah? Nice.

I made reservations

at our favorite

so I'll pick you up

at 8:
00, okay?

Okay. Sure. It

sounds great, hon.

By the way, I had

fun last night.

Maybe we can

do it again.

See you tonight.

Okay.

Bye-bye.

Oh, you like

soap, huh?

No, I don't want

to buy all these.

I just need to know

which one works best.

Best for what?

For your hands.

Well, it depends on what

you want to wash off.

This one is good

for oil and grease.

And this one has

ammonium chloride

It 's strong

but it has a tendency

toward drying.

I need one that can

get out odors.

Like cigarettes?

No.

Is it a feminine need?

No.

It's-

it's for a, uh-

...a fecal odor.

Fecal?

You know-poop.

You got poop

on your hands.

Listen... Ned

I really don't want to get

into this right now, okay?

No, I understand.

I understand totally.

It's none of my beeswax.

Which one's best?

Oh, for that,

anything will do.

Common household soap

should do the trick.

No. No. You don't-

don't understand.

I've tried all that.

Nothing is working.

I just need a really

strong odor-removing soap.

Okay. All right. Okay.

Okay, try this one.

Wait! Your change is...

Stupid...

Get off.

It's gotta work.

It's gotta work.

Why? Why?

Why is this

happening to me?

Hey,babe.

Whoa. Did you put on

the whole bottle?

It's a little

strong at first.

Yeah, no kidding.

Well, here.

Oh, they're

so beautiful.

You going for a little

Michael Jackson thing?

My-my hand got cold.

Just your one hand?

I'm going to put these

in water, and we'll go.

Okay.

I am freaking starving.

Ground control

to Major Ginny.

Do you read me?

What?

Where are you tonight?

You seem all spacey, babe.

I'm sorry.

I've been

a little preoccupied.

School stuff.

Well, don't let the

man get you down.

What?

Oh, nothing.

I'm just looking.

For what?

Seeing if they seated us

next to the bathrooms

or something.

Bathrooms?

Yeah.

I keep smelling sh*t.

I- I-I Can't.

Ginny.

Hey, stop!

Sorry.

I know what you did.

I know what you did.

Now, this is

an unbelievable value, people.

Amazing. Pure gold

and titanium.

You know, a lot of

other watches out there-

...are made in places

like China and Taiwan.

They are mass produced,

which means the quality

just isn't there.

Hi.

I can 'I get to the phone right now

but if you leave a message,

I promise to get back to you.

Thank you.

Why

you don't call Father back?

Call us back.

We very worried.

Ginny!

Ginny, it's me, babe.

Open up.

Me and Tammy are here.

We're worried about you. Let us in.

Come on,

sweetie-pie, open up.

Open the door.

We don't know what's going on with you

but whatever it is,

you know we can help.

We're not leaving till

you open this door.

Ginny-

Ginny, babe,

what? going on?

Everyone is

so worried about you.

Your parents called me.

Professor Carlton

asked about you, too.

Let us in so

we can help you.

It can't be

that bad.

Nothing works.

What doesn't

work, honey?

Nothing.

I keep-

l keep washing

and I keep scrubbing.

It won't go away.

Why won't it go away?

What, babe? What won't go away?

It doesn't matter.

It doesn't matter.

it doesn't matter.

It doesn't f***ing matter!

It doesn't matter!

Do something!

No!

No!

Hold her.

Ginny, do you know

why you are here?

Why is that?

Everybody thinks

I'm crazy.

Do you think

you're crazy?

Is that a yes?

I don't know.

I Can Smell it...

all the time

but they keep telling

me it's not there.

You mean the-

Poop.

Yes,

the poop, as you say.

And how did the poop

get on your finger?

Chad.

He made me

do it during sex.

Do what?

Put my finger

up his butt.

I don't know what

she's talking about.

She is not making

sense right now.

Stop it! Stop-

Are you crazy?

Oh, my God.

Check the north corridor.

Ginny.

Psst.

Over here.

It's me.

Jesus-

Listen.

There isn't much time.

They'll never believe you.

But it won't go away.

Sin never does.

There 's only one thing

you can do.

You know what

must be done.

Go. Go now, my child.

No! No, stop!

She's right in here.

Here you go.

Hi, sweetie.

How you

doing today?

I brought you some

things you might like.

It's just some fun reading

while you're here.

Well, you making any

friends around here?

Cheater!

Oh, my Lord!

Oh, my Lord.

Well, better hit it.

Got a hair appointment.

Carl's taking me to some

fancy-schmantzy place in Malibu.

You take care

now, okay?

Bye, sweetie.

Bye.

Okay, I'm ready.

Liza?

How about Anastasia?

Mm. Too Russian.

How about Claire? Huh?

Claires are always nice.

No, they 're

too Anglo, Tom.

We need to go a little

more, you know, ethnic.

Ethnic. Like what?

Like-

You a**hole.

I'm trying

to concentrate here.

Okay, I'm sorry.

You know I hate it

when you do that, Geri.

B.F.D., Tom.

Just start again.

G- er...

Stinky hairy p*ssy.

Stinky hairy p*ssy.

Stinky hairy p*ssy.

Stinky hairy p*ssy-

Ger.

In here, Tom.

It's almost 2:
00, Geri,

we gotta get going.

She's going to be there

in less than an hour.

Okay, I'm coming.

Okay, Blanche.

Take a f***ing Xanax, Tom.

It would be nice if you could

help a little around here.

Oh, yeah?

And do what?

Lick the floors?

What's that?

A mojito.

You're just drinking

on a weekday afternoon?

Mm-hm.

Uh-huh, no.

I don't think that's the

kind of first impression

we need to be

making here, Ger.

She's here?

She's here.

Come in-please.

I'm- Oh, I'm Tom.

Sorry, I-

This is my life

partner, Geri.

Hi.

Uh, um... can we get you

anything to drink or...?

Money.

Right.

Why beat around

the bush? Okay.

There you go.
