Factory Girl Page #2

And I hate it when people take

themselves too seriously.

- Don't you?

- Oh, yeah.

I read somewhere

that you were born in California.

Is that true?

Yes, but we were

from back East originally.

Well, Fuzzy got sick.

And so he wanted

to move to a warmer climate,

and he bought a ranch

in Santa Barbara, California.

And that's

where I was born.

Who's Fuzzy?

- Oh, Fuzzy's my father.

- Oh.

My father.

Mm-hmm.

And is Chuck

your best friend?

He's my best girlfriend.

Who's your best boyfriend?

Oh, that's easy.

That would-

actually,

it's not that easy.

I would have to say

my brother Minty.

Oh, well, you should

bring him over.

I can't.

I wish I could.

He's dead.

Who is the first boy

you made it with?

The first boy I made it with

was at Silver Hill.

- The hospital?

- Mm-hmm.

Oh, I hear it's very chic.

Didn't Cornelia Vanderbilt

go there?

All I had to do was walk in

on Fuzzy f***ing

our neighbor.

And then when

I told my mother,

well, Fuzzy said

that I was imagining it.

There has to be

another way.

But even after all the pills

that he pumped me up with,

I knew what I saw.

And so he sent me off

to Silver Hill

just like he did with my brothers

Minty and Bobby.

It was sort of

the Sedgwick way.

Who was the first boy you ever kissed?

Fuzzy.

Silver Hill.

I can't take it anymore.

I want to die.

Why do you want to die?

Because my credit's

no good at Bonwit Teller.

Because I just stole

$30 worth of underwear from Bergdorf's,

and I think I might

do it again.

Is that you, Edie?

I thought you might

be lonely on the watch.

Don't lie to Wanda.

- I've known you for too long.

- But really, Wanda,

everything is just super.

I met the most

fantastic people.

I went to this gallery.

You know, Roy Lichtenstein

and Jasper Johns

and Andy Warhol.

I may get a show there.

Somebody asked me

to be in a movie, Wand.

Wouldn't you love

to be in a movie?

Are you still seeing a doctor?

In today's news,

rioting continued

in Alabama

as civil rights demonstrators converged

on the courthouse steps

in downtown Selma.

Who could grant any wish.

Andy was a little boy

who needed

to be taken care of.

I mean, his mother

moved in with him when he was 22.

As a child, he had this horrible

nervous condition.

- It made him feel like an outsider.

- Thanks, Mama.

I like your Sunday

personality better.

Hello?

- Hello?

- Hello.

Hello.

How are you, dear?

Well, Andy, I'm just about ready

to flip my lid.

Henry Winthorpe llI

just left The Factory.

Oh, the toothpaste heir?

How were his teeth?

Oh, I didn't notice,

but his cock was beautiful.

- Was it big?

- Listen.

- Did he know you were taping him?

- He insisted.

Andy, I'm getting

such good tapes.

I don't care if she is wearing

a wig. It's a movie about boys.

- It's supposed to be an all-male cast.

- But Edie looks like a boy.

- Like a beautiful boy.

- And I think she's fantastic.

But she shouldn't be in this.

It throws off the whole concept.

It's supposed to be about thugs

and J.D.s and hooligans.

Oh, I know.

I know.

Is she gonna

say anything,

or is she just gonna sit

there like a mannequin?

I just don't think

she's cut out for this.

Well, Gerard, maybe Edie doesn't think

you're cut out for it either.

"Vinyl," a film by Andy Warhol

starring Gerard Malanga.

I'm a troublemaker. A hooligan.

A real motherf***er.

So if you got a problem,

I can stick it where I can put it

whether you want it or not.

Why is he doing that?

Why doesn't he stop?

In The Factory you were accepted

and encouraged

and even expected

to be different.

Andy made me

feel comfortable,

and I believe that

he felt comfortable with me.

No, I'm serious. Let's say you're

on a TV show like "Steve Allen"

and he says, "So, Edie, any plans

for getting married?"

Okay, fine.

But I could only marry four-

maybe three people.

Who?

The future Earl of Litchfield,

but he'll have to be the last, I think.

- Oh.

- And Mick Jagger.

Oh, yeah.

I hear he has a really big cock.

- And then who?

- Nureyev.

But I don't think

he likes women.

Are you allowed

to say that on television?

Oh, Andy, we couldn't say

anything on television.

They'd have to tape

our mouths shut.

It's so much more fun

in New York

since you showed up.

Those were really

the happiest days of my life.

When we were experiencing life

on our own terms.

What better way

to say goodbye

to Edith Minturn Sedgwick,

the Mayflower girl.

Andy, what do you think

of Edie's new look?

It'll be great.

I can't wait to see it.

Andy took ordinary

objects and made them iconic.

I always thought that he was throwing

America back in its face-

you know, turning the assembly

line into a punchline.

Hello?

Andy.

When are you going

to show me your drawings?

You've showed them

to Gerard and Brigid.

I want them

to be the right ones.

Well just put anything together.

We'll make a show.

Ileana Sonnabend is coming to New York

next month. I'll introduce you.

Really?

I will.

This weekend I'll-

Oh no, not this weekend. We're supposed

to go to Fire Island, remember?

Well when am I supposed

to get it done?

It'll happen.

I wouldn't worry about it.

That's easy for you to say.

You have nothing to worry about.

Oh, that's not true.

The Sculls cancelled

a whole order of Brillo boxes.

Andy, I know plenty

of people in New York

who are looking

to buy great art.

Edie, I just think

it will clash terribly

with the Biedermeier chairs.

Well you can just say

whatever color you want.

I just picked up a new blue from Pearl

that's fantastic.

Well, Mrs. Shingle,

just so you know,

my mother had one

done last month,

and she was so happy with it

she ordered three more.

Wow, your mother always

did have excellent taste.

Taupe I think

would work best.

I wonder if people

are gonna remember us.

What, when we're dead?

Yeah.

I think people will talk about how

you changed the world.

I wonder what

they'll say about you

in your obituary.

I like that word.

Nothing nice, I don't think.

Come on.

It would say...

"Edith Minturn Sedgwick,

beautiful artist

and actress... "

"And all-around loon. "

"Remembered for setting

the world on fire... "

"And escaping the clutches

of her terrifying family. "

"Made friends with everybody

and anybody... "

"By creating chaos and uproar

wherever she went.

Divorced as many times

as she married,

she leaves only

good wishes behind. "

That's nice, isn't it?

Well, I hope

I die first,

because I would be too sad

if you died before me.

Tell me other places

you lived after that.

I lived in Paris

when I studied art.

The French, they're

just so good looking.

Andy, we should go.

Actually, when I say it it makes sense

for you to be there right now.

But I didn't think

they liked new art anymore.

You just take some of the flower

paintings and the movies,

and they'd appreciate

you so much more than they do here.

You know, here people don't really know
