Factory Girl Page #7

I have her here.

I'm going to put her on.

- Hello.

- Edie.

Divine one,

how are you?

Your pictures

were incredible.

I'm afraid we can't sign

you right now, darling.

Why not?

The board feels-

they feel...

Andy Warhol's

mise-en-scne,

it's become too seedy.

The drugs, darling,

the riffraff.

The patina is damaged.

They think you've become vulgar.

Vulgar? How?

I don't know, but it's

better than being boring.

Now do take care

of yourself.

You what?

I hope you're happy.

Everyone in New York

is laughing at me.

I can't leave

my apartment.

I can't get a job.

Your movies have made

a fool out of me.

Oh, no. They've made

you famous, Edie,

and that's what

you wanted.

No one will have

anything to do with me

because of you.

But every teenage girl from Jersey

wants to look like you, Edie.

Andy, I have nothing.

You owe me that money.

I need that money.

But I gave you $50. I gave you money.

Did you spend it already?

50 f***ing dollars?

I'm sure if you wait a year or two,

someone from Hollywood

will put you in a movie

with Tony Perkins. And then you can earn

all the money you want

and spend all that too.

You think that I'll

go to Hollywood?

You think I can't function without you?

I'll be f***ing fine.

Are you going to live there

with your boyfriend

and his wife?

What?

You filthy,

filthy, f***ing-

Edie, enough!

- You f***ed me up!

- That's enough!

And your Factory!

You f***ed me up

and you know it!

You look at me.

Look at me!

Andy...

who is this you

are talking about?

I don't know what to say

to her anymore.

And I don't know

what I did.

She's such

a beautiful girl,

but it's like she just

wants to be ugly now.

And I don't understand

why anybody

would want that.

How do you stop somebody

from not doing something

if they don't want to?

We will say a prayer

for her

and then we will

go and light a candle.

I never met anybody

like her before.

Who is he?

Don't you remember?

This is my friend, Max.

The guy who knows the guy

who knows Alfred Hitchcock.

Oh, right.

Is your-

is your friend

stealing my silverware?

No, he's just

borrowing it.

Is that okay?

Just because I let

your friend

f*** me last night

doesn't mean that he

can take my silver.

Did he film it?

Yes, and you were great.

- Are you done?

- Yeah, that's a wrap.

- How do I look?

- You look groovy.

Hey, Edie,

can he borrow

your coat?

That looks really

good on you.

Thanks.

All right, sweets,

I gotta go.

Don't- don't go.

Don't leave me now.

Maybe I'll come back later.

Don't forget to blow out

all these candles.

God, maybe you should

just sort of-

Ciao.

- Take off her coat, man.

- She said I could borrow it.

No no no. Either you take it off

or I'm gonna take it off for you.

- It's your choice.

- She just said that he could borrow-

Take off the f***ing coat!

Hey, man,

just mellow out, man.

Now get the f***

out of here.

- Get the f*** out of here!

- Okay.

We were just leaving,

man.

Syd, is that you?

Let me see.

What are you doing?

I said it all to him.

I told him.

I- I said it to Andy.

I said it all to him.

Is that why you're here?

Are we going upstate like he said?

'Cause if we are,

I just need to put

a few things into a bag.

He's out of town,

all right?

But maybe,

maybe when he gets back.

All right?

Did- did my father

call you?

Is that why-

is he gonna lock me

up again?

No.

Syd, will you stay-

- stay the night with me?

- No.

Edie.

Lately, I-

I feel like

I'm gonna die.

You're not

gonna die, Edie.

You're gonna be fine.

I promise.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Hey, how about I buy

you something to eat?

Can I do that?

Looks like an accident.

It may be a while.

Where are we going, Syd?

I want to show

you something.

Do you remember

that girl?

Huh?

That's-

what was I thinking?

The only reason I ever

went to that class was because of you.

It's true.

Do you remember her?

No.

Edie!

I'm not saying that

anyone else is responsible.

I made decisions,

life decisions

that I regret.

But I really feel

like I can do this.

I can stay

off the drugs,

and I realize that it will

be a battle every day,

but so far

so good, right?

But I'm home.

Santa Barbara

is my home.

And I have a small show.

Did I tell you that?

I mean,

it's nothing major.

It's just in a frame shop,

but it's something.

I just think people forgot what emotions

were supposed to be.

I mean,

it's too hard to care.

I mean, you know,

I still care,

but it would just be so

much nicer not to care.

It's just easier

being detached.

What about Edie?

Oh, what about Edie?

I haven't seen her in years.

You know she died

yesterday?

Oh, yeah.

Do you think your breakup had something

to do with that detachment?

Well, it wasn't

a breakup.

I mean, that makes

it sound like we were-

I mean, this is gonna

be really hard if we have to- if-

You know, it was

just so long ago.

I mean, I hardly

knew her at all, so...

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.

Oh, no, come on. It'd 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... "

"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?

Edie seemed

to understand from the beginning

her life

was going to be short.

She was a blip on

the radar suddenly.

It just blew out everybody.

You walk into a room

and Edie was there.

Edie was what you saw.

There was something

so vulnerable about Edie.

She was a person

that everybody adored

and kind of worshipped,

but you knew that she was

basically fragile.

Time sort of stopped

when you were with her.

She was

an exquisite creature.

She had sort of a gamine look.

Very long legs,

very pale face,

very pale lips.

And a waif, in a way.

And I think probably

the weakness of her showed there.

Andy was very struck by her.

Andy would always

invite somebody, to say,

"Would you want to be

in one of my movies?"

And of course, Edie took Andy

very seriously on that.

Who was Edie Sedgwick?

Edie Sedgwick was a combination

of all the tragic women

who came before her.

She looked great

in front of a camera.

And she loved being

in front of one.

Edie was taken advantage of,

and hugely because she

was so loving and trusting.

She was very trusting.

She looked into your eyes.

She listened to what

you had to say.

She made you believe that you were

the most important person

to her

or on the planet.

Yeah, I think Edie took on Andy

as the father

that she didn't have.

Everybody I know that really
