He gone? Huh?

I don't wanna hear one f***in' word

from either one of you.

OK... baby.

OK, baby.

Oh, my God. I'm so glad

I lived long enough to see that.

Baby!

Get up, girl.

Like Lana Turner in Ziegfeld Girl.

Oh, honey.

Oh, honey.

Hi.

Are you all right?

Oh, peachy, honey.

Where the hell you been?

Oh, fun and games.

My mothers funeral and wake.

Oh. Sorry to hear about your mother.

Oh, my father killed her a long time ago.

Buried her today, that's all.

This is my legacy...

Her old gloves. She always wore gloves.

Yeah, she was a victim, you know?

But she was sweet

you know, but a victim.

A reformed drunk...

on her knees at church, begging

you know, Jesus, Mary and Joseph

and every goddamn saint in heaven

to forgive her for giving birth

to Cruella de Fag, you know?

Being a slave to my father before he died.

You would have loved each other.

He...

He thought Archie Bunker

was a flaming liberal.

You know, every morning

she would get up and fix him breakfast.

And... every morning, for 30 years

she said

Hi, Daddy. Do you love me?

No answer.

Every morning, 30 years.

Hi, Daddy. Do you love me? No answer.

One day, my ma says

Hi, Daddy. Do you love me?

And...

he said no.

The moral of that story is so...

If you haven't gotten an answer in

30 years, you ought to know it by now.

Thanks for the drink.

You're welcome.

See you tomorrow.

Thank you for staying.

Sorry about your mother.

Thanks.

You 're right, Walt.

Honey, I just want you

to know that you're right.

You know, Im

I'm not an artist, you know.

I'm not some... female impressionist.

I'm a...

I'm lonely...

and I'm ugly...

and I'm a drag queen.

Now look who's feeling

sorry for themselves.

Where have you been?

Sonny, don't.

You says if I come here last night

you'll have the f***in' money

Not now! I didn't have the money!

I was somewhere else!

Where's the f***in' money?

Come on, man. Take it easy.

Who the f*** is this?

- Let go! I'll get the money.

- Get my money.

Let go of him. I'll give you the money.

Walt, just get in the room. He's not

gonna let you go. Just walk in the room.

I'm tired of coming here for nothing.

Five minutes. OK?

If you f*** around, I'm telling you

I'm gonna f***in' smack you.

You look really good today, all right?

All right, honey.

F*** you, you cocksucker!

Don't you f***in' lock this door!

Motherf***er!

Don't you lock that door!

No! Not the f***in' door again!

Rusty! You wanna f*** around

let's f*** around.

Open the f***in' door!

I need that money, man!

Steel plate. Don't worry.

I don't know if I did it to keep out

burglars or Sonny when he gets like this.

Go home and beat up wifey

before I call the cops, you f***er!

All right, f*** you! You just f***ed up.

I'm comin' back every f***in' night.

You don't pay me, I'll take a f***in'

scissor to every f***in' wig you got here!

Motherf***er!

So that's your... your boyfriend?

He's not always like this.

He's got this Italian Catholic

guilt and shame thing

because he loves me so much.

We're... we're working it out.

This won't happen once I have...

my operation to be all woman, you know?

That's why I work teaching and sewing

saving up for the day that I...

become a real woman.

You 're gonna become

one of those he-she freaks?

All she.

After the...

hormone shots and the operation.

You're gonna cut off

your dick and balls?

Snip, snip, sweetheart.

How could a man cut off his dick

and balls? Why would you do that?

Because

I'm a woman trapped

in a man's body, honey.

You 're no woman.

I'm just not your idea of a woman, Walt.

You 're nobody's idea of a woman.

I'm my idea.

Maybe I can under understand if if

you wanted to be a woman, but...

I don't understand a man

wanting to be an ugly woman.

Open up! We ain't got all day! Come on!

Walt! We didn't think

you would come to Vinnie's house

so we brought the party to you!

- We missed you.

- Let's go! Let's go!

Hey, you guys.

Is Waldo back here or what?

Waldo Koontz is back.

The man's a true hero.

I'll never forget that day

in that bank 14 years ago.

I heard it 43 times. I heard it.

I don't wanna hear it again.

Joel Schumacher

Joel T. Schumacher (born August 29, 1939) is an American film director, screenwriter, and producer. Schumacher rose to fame after directing hit films of his decade St. Elmo's Fire (1985), The Lost Boys (1987) and Flatliners (1990). He later went on to direct John Grisham adaptations The Client (1994) and A Time to Kill (1996). His films Falling Down (1993) and 8mm (1999) competed for Palme d'Or and Golden Bear respectively. In 1993, he signed on to direct the next installments of the Batman film series. Schumacher-directed Batman films Batman Forever (1995) and Batman & Robin (1997) received mixed-to-negative reactions from both critics and the public. After the Batman films, Schumacher pulled back from blockbusters and returned to making minimalist films such as Tigerland (2000) and Phone Booth (2002), both earning positive reviews. He also directed The Phantom of the Opera (2004), The Number 23 (2007) and two episodes of House of Cards. Known for casting young actors, Schumacher helped actors like Colin Farrell, Kiefer Sutherland, and Matthew McConaughey to launch careers. more…
