Factory Girl Page #4

and Dextromethamphetamine.

Has certainly more kick

than a martini, no?

You go to med school, Brig?

My parents have had me

doped up on diet pills since I was 10.

Well, my parents plopped me in the bins

before I could drive.

You're an Aquarius,

aren't you?

No, I'm an Aries.

I know an Aquarius

when I see one.

I just adore Aquariuses.

You thirsty for a poke?

It's divine.

Ooh.

Speed was rocket fuel.

It was the only way to keep up

and that was really

the great temptation of the Factory.

It was at perpetual party

in one i was happy

to loose myself in.

Hey, Rich, did you see

my mother's face when she met Andy?

I thought

she was gonna burst.

I know, my mother's

horrified.

Brig keeps threatening to invite

him to Christmas dinner

if she doesn't

up our allowances.

Well, no wonder you never

run out of money.

Edie.

Syd! What are you

doing here?

- I've been sent to find you.

- Oh, that sounds mysterious.

- Who sent you, the Red Chinese?

- No, but...

I am working

for someone pretty big.

- Rockefeller?

- Bigger.

Bigger than Rockefeller

and the Red Chinese?

Well, pray tell, who?

Why don't you come with me

and I'll show you.

Who's that?

- Taxi!

- Oh, darling, I landed straight down

on my

Margaret Jarrold pumps.

Thank God

I didn't break an ankle.

Second Avenue and Fifth, please.

That was just my great escape.

Do you remember that time

when we went to that restaurant-

oh, what was it called?

Durgin Park in Faneuil Hall.

And all the waiters were so crusty,

and- oh!

Watch it.

Watch it! Jesus.

And then I was dancing on the tables,

do you remember?

And I think that they thought

that I stole something,

when really I only

meant to borrow it.

Oh no, it wasn't you!

I don't know what you're talking about.

It was Don-Don.

And Chuckie was there.

- Edie.

- I nearly died laughing.

Edie, I have somebody

that I want you to meet.

This is Edie Sedgwick.

Edie, how about a picture?

Well, hello.

Why don't you put

your arm around her?

Hey, how about one shot?

One shot, Miss Sedgwick?

I got to go to work,

sweetheart.

Well, I wasn't interested

in him because he was famous.

It wasn't as if he was

the first famous person I'd ever met.

But he was so different.

- Its just a bird.

- No, no, no, that`ss...

thats really good.

So, Syd and I caught a couple of your

films last week at the Cinemateque.

You did?

Really? And?

We just- well, we didn't really

understand what they meant.

I don't think that it really

mean anything necessarily.

What about you?

Your songs are pretty-

pretty profound.

What are you trying to say?

I'm not- I'm not trying

to say anything.

I sing about what I see.

He represented

everything that Andy didnt

and I just really

wanted to free myself.

The music was just hypnotic.

- I just think he's so maximal.

- Isn't he?

And he just has that power.

You know people who have that power.

- Like Superman?

- You can't really explain why it is.

It just is.

Well, what do you say to someone

like that? I mean, he's just so famous.

- We didn't really talk, you know.

- Oh, you didn't?

It was just nice to meet him.

Andy, what do you think of this?

Tres chic or tres fou?

Oh, tres chic,

definitely.

Well, I have to watch my spending.

Especially on clothes.

You know, I already

stopped wearing underwear.

Sh*t, what other sacrifices

do I have to make?

Who do you think you are?

Your family is so rich.

I mean, you're living

on Easy Street.

Oh!

Oh, Mama would love this.

I can buy it for you.

Oh no, you need

to watch your spending.

So, tell me more things.

Who else was he there with?

I don't really remember that,

you know?

But it was just something

about those lyrics.

What he was saying

was really poignant.

Like he really

had something to say.

What?

I was just saying

that he really had something to say.

- How much is this?

- Seven.

- $7?

- $7.

Oh no, that's too much.

Well, I could

give you $4.

James, dear, what are you

doing here so early?

- I...

- Sit down.

We had an appointment at my office

at noon, Miss Sedgwick. It's 2:30.

You've known me since

I was three, James. Call me Edie.

Your...

spending, Miss Sedgwick.

You're going to be

bankrupt soon.

James, you take life

too seriously.

How could I possibly

be bankrupt?

My grandfather

invented the elevator.

Then you should be familiar

with the concept of up and down.

When you got here,

your trust fund-

thank you.

Your trust fund was up.

After a year and a half,

it's almost in the basement.

- Oh sh*t.

- What, what, what?

Well, what about all

the money that I'm making?

Well,

you keep spending it.

Your father

is very upset with you

cavorting with drug addicts

and fringe elements.

You tell Fuzzy for me that those are

some very talented people.

If you don't

change your friends,

you'll get nothing from him.

Rich, will you make sure

the oven's off?

I'm sorry, I have to go.

Oh, looks like Cupid's

been busy as a bull dyke.

You look beautiful, honey.

Hello.

What are you doing?

Thought you weren't

gonna paint any more.

Oh, look, it's Judy Garland.

Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out

she was really a man?

Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out

Gerard was really a man?

When you get through sucking on that,

come over

and see for yourself.

Only if I can record the slurps.

Oh, Andy, Sam called. He's sending

a limo for us for the show tonight.

I hear rock stars like limos.

I think it's just delicious

that Edie has a boyfriend.

I'm not looking

for anything like that.

Okay.

Don't be jealous, Andy.

He's nothing like you.

Oh no, I'm not. I've just never made it

with a rock star before.

- It must be neat.

- I'm not making it-

Why do you do that?

Why do you have to make me feel guilty?

I hate it when people

make me feel bad.

Well, you lied to me.

You said you didn't talk to him.

- And then that picture in the paper...

- Andy, this is absurd.

It was a photograph.

You know, we barely met.

You meet people all the time.

Do you f*** them?

Well, I just think sex

is too abstract anyway.

Andy, what do you think

about the war in Vietnam?

I don't know. Ask Edie.

What do you think, Edie?

Well, we prefer

"I Dream of Jeannie. "

Andy, in the story of your life,

who would you want

to play Andy Warhol?

Oh, Edie. She's so perfect.

She does everything better than me.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Andy, I need

to talk to you.

I've gotten myself

into a little pickle

and I was just wondering if you could

maybe pay me for some of my work?

Edie, you know the movies

haven't made any money yet.

So you just need

to be patient.

Well, I can't be patient.

I have nothing to live on.

- Andy, you and I both know...

- Sam.

...that you are

never giving up painting.

You've just been saying that

to get publicity.

- Well, guess what?

- What?

- It worked.

- Great.

Come on, everyone

wants to meet you.

This way.

Hello, kitty-kat.

Hello.

That's a wonderful scarf.
