Factory Girl Page #5

Thank you.

Left my tux in the shop.

You here to buy a painting?

Tell me, why are all these cats gonna

pay a fortune for a soup can?

I mean...

You just have to look

beyond the obvious.

Am I stupid, or...

I don't get it.

Am I stupid?

You're being a little stupid.

I mean, don't you think it's intriguing?

Not just a little bit?

You know, it may

just be a painting,

but it's an idea.

And the man behind that idea

is what's interesting.

I think the man has got his priorities

all out of whack.

Whole world's burning up

and this cat's making...

gods out of garbage.

Well, the whole world

may be burning up,

but that doesn't mean

that we have to be cynical.

Got the whole world on

a string, don't you?

But inside there...

well, it's as empty

as your friend's soup can.

I'll see you around...

superstar.

Well, you're just so smart, Chuck.

I just think you should

start directing.

I mean, you do

the camera so good.

We always need people

like you just to make things happen.

Well, I mean, I'm really

just here for Edie, you know?

Oh. Well, it's just such a pity

that she should get all the attention

when you're the one who found her.

I hope she still wants

to do more movies.

She does.

We- we do,

we love movies.

I mean, in fact,

I had this-

I just don't know

if she's being...

well, I mean, you know her

better than me.

But, it seems like when

the camera's on sometimes

she just doesn't seem...

I don't know, I just wouldn't

want it to be disappointing.

It won't.

I can have her say

anything you want.

She trusts me more

than anyone.

Oh.

"Beauty Number Two,"

an Andy Warhol production.

Daddy, will you

pass me my martini?

- Edie?

- Yes, Chuckles?

Chuckles- didn't I

give you that name?

Edie, do you

like horses?

Horses have whiskers.

Yes, horses.

Do you ride?

Since I was a little girl,

I've just adored them.

Daddy taught me to ride

before I could walk.

My first horse...

Your father was

a handsome man?

Oh, Fuzzy?

He still is.

How about your brothers? They were

quite attractive, too, weren't they?

They must have had

a lot of women then.

Wha-?

Did they find

you attractive?

Of course.

I was their family.

Did you find them

attractive?

- Do you...

- Can you change the question?

find Gino attractive? That's- that's

what I was going to ask you, Edie.

Gino?

He's devastatingly handsome,

isn't he?

Kiss him.

Are you scared?

Come on, Edie.

Like you mean it.

Gino, she likes when

you get rough.

She likes those tough men.

Strong men are what turn you on,

isn't that right, babycakes?

No.

Not like

your brother, Minty.

Your father wasn't

so keen on him, was he?

Who was he keen on? You?

Okay, get off!

Enough!

Andy, are we finished?

No, Edie,

we're still rolling.

Sedgwick.

Edie Sedgwick!

Hello.

How'd a nice chick

like you get mixed up

in the whole

acting racket?

It was

"Breakfast At Tiffany's. "

You know that poster with Audrey

and her hair's pulled back

and she's smoking through

the black cigarette holder?

You want to live

in a movie?

I never saw

the movie.

So then you haven't

read the book, huh?

Well, Audrey

isn't in the book.

Book's a bit different.

Book's about a working girl

and a writer.

An artist.

You see, the artist steals

the girl's stories,

makes a fortune,

and the girl doesn't

get anything.

Why do you have

such a problem with Andy?

Because of what

he worships.

And what about you? I mean,

I saw your face in those flashbulbs.

You pretend to be

some sort of crusader,

but I saw you

basking in it.

Oh, don't get us confused,

sister, all right?

Those bulbs, they get

a message out.

What- what exactly

is the message...

aside from

"Look at me"?

Nah, I'm just

a guitar player.

- That's all.

- No no.

You're an overpaid prophet

and I'm a poor little rich girl.

Lady, you don't know

sh*t about sh*t.

Open your eyes, you know? Take a look

at the world around you, okay?

- It's very easy for you to say that...

- It's not all Park Avenue.

- You do know that, don't you?

- ... from your wonderful,

very glorified position

where you have your cars

and your houses

and your f***ing bike.

You think I give a sh*t

about any of this?

- I think it's obvious you do.

- You think I actually care?

It's not real, babe.

- Big house, huh?

- Big house.

- Big family, too?

- Big family.

Tell me about

your house.

Mmm.

We lived on a ranch.

We lived on two ranches

in California.

- Two ranches?

- Two ranches with-

Must have been

a big family.

It was a big family.

We had horses

and cattle and we had-

Lots of brothers

and sisters?

We had eight brothers

and sisters.

Now I have six

brothers and sisters.

Well, what happened

to the other two?

Minty...

hanged himself

at a place

called Silver Hill,

which was sort of...

a rehabilitation center.

And Bobby...

- Jesus.

- ... who was my elder brother

ran his bike into a bus

on Fifth Avenue.

But the funny thing

was was that I was in a-

a car accident on the same-

it was New Year's Eve,

and I- well, he died,

and- and I didn't die.

Babe.

I was out with a couple

of heavies tonight.

We talked about you

all evening.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah, guess who?

- Diana Vreeland?

- No.

- John Lennon?

- No.

Edie Sedgwick?

No, I haven't seen her.

Don't know where

she is.

Hey, you wanna hear

my new idea for a movie?

Think I can invite her

for dinner?

- Who?

- Edie.

You wanna introduce her

to your mother?

Why?

Well, I hadn't thought-

I don't know.

Might be nice.

Jeez, Andy, you must really miss her.

You never invite

anybody else over.

Oh, cut it out.

You can't be that mean.

Well, you never

invited me over.

You need to lose

25 Ibs first.

My mother's not gonna feed you.

She's nastier than you are.

She is not!

I draw too, like Andy.

Oh, you do?

My husband work in

coal mine back then, yeah?

And he very very

good-looking.

Beautiful white hair.

Every girl want this boy,

but he want me.

- But I no want.

- Well, why didn't you want him?

- I 15.

- Oh.

But then one day,

he bring chocolate...

...for purposes to

marry him.

So for this candy,

I marry him.

Oh!

You make my Andy

so very happy.

Oh.

Oh, my special boy.

With you, I think,

all his skin blotches

go away.

Mama, dost.

Let me help you

with that.

You the boss,

applesauce.

You know, Andy, I've been spending

a lot of time with Billy.

And I think that the more

I think about it,

I really think that

you should meet.

You'd really like

each other.

Why would he want

to meet me?

Well, because

you're a genius.

And he's a genius.

Well, isn't he a genius, Julia?

Oh, my boy a genius.

Can you imagine how-

I mean, if we made a movie or something,

wouldn't that be fun,

how explosive that would be?

I just think if we

took him to The Factory

everybody would respond very well.

Plus, he'd look beautiful-

Edie, I just wanted to

get that for you.

I know it's only $50,

but, well, I just
