All right, I won't say it!

Whatever happened to the other guy? You

know, the other guard, Joe? Is he retired?

No, no. He got a great job in

Southeast Asia, something like that.

He was a smart guy.

Right.

Walt. I hear you're thick with the

she he's... or should I say long and thick?

I'm taking speech therapy

cos it's in the building.

It's in the building, fuckhead!

Yeah, Mike. And he's doing great.

He is.

I never thought I'd see Walt The Wall

Koontz hangin' out with drag queens.

Will you shut the f*** up?

It's better than lookin' at you.

I'll get it.

- Paulle, are you out?

- Yes, Im out.

It's you and I, Vinnie.

Are we playing cards? We're out, huh?

Fellas, you remember Tia

from the dance club?

Walt, you remember Tia, right?

Jesus, you know what?

We should go. Look at the time.

We should get outta here.

Fix the chips out later. Come on.

Hey, Tia.

You're a real girl, aren't you?

Will you shut the f*** up?

Don't pay any attention to him.

He's brain damaged from birth.

Hey, Walt... Get your skinny ass o...

I'll see you next Saturday

all right? My house. OK?

How you doin'?

OK.

This is for you.

I can put them in some water for you.

Just show me where the stuff is.

I got it.

It's OK.

No, I'll do it.

I know how much you like

the tango so much, so...

I made a tape of those songs

that you like the most.

The quality's not that great but...

you get the idea.

Thanks for the... the tape.

Nice. Nice. Nice.

Well...

Well, you never aksed me to dance, so...

now I can aks you.

No, I... I...

It's OK.

I don't have any money.

Who said anything about money?

Wait. Wait. I get it.

What?

Tommy paid you.

He feels sorry for me. Didn't he?

You feel sorry for me

I feel sorry for you?

No problem.

I never felt sorry for you, Walt, until now.

Take it easy, Walt.

Oh, go, girl. Go, girl. Go, girl. Go, girl.

All right! All right, sweetheart.

Very good, honey. Very good.

Good song you picked. Good.

What's next?

Honey, I think that's it.

You've graduated.

I thought you were gonna do

some songs, some stuff to learn? Huh?

Honey, I would love to keep

taking your money.

But you're doing.

You 're doing really well, you know?

And I made you a bunch of tapes.

And you can go practise them.

Why don't you come by tomorrow at five

and you can pick 'em up, OK?

OK.

OK.

Thanks for meeting with us.

We've been discussing

this year's Gay Pride parade.

And we felt that it would be important...

well, a good idea, to show a united front.

Synthesis, I believe.

Right.

Synthesis!

We felt, as gay Republicans

we thought it would be a really good

idea if we could all come together

and show the world our likenesses

not our differences.

To celebrate the...

Synthesis.

Right, synthesis. Synthesis.

You 're very good You a re

Sorry, go ahead.

We... We could march together

as a united brotherhood.

What about the sisterhood?

We march on foot. No floats.

You think if you have no loats we won't

do drag cos we can't march in heels.

Well, let me tell you something, honey.

We can march to Lake Titicaca

and back in stilettos. So don't.

Hey, let's just calm down, men.

Aren't you guys the same group that

raised a shitload of money for Bob

Dole's campaign, and he sent it back?

He would have lost support

of the Christian Right...

Exactly. Cos you're gay.

You 're gay, so he sent it back.

Aren't you ashamed?

You are right. We are different...

but not in the way that you mean.

We're different because you are ashamed

of us, and we are not ashamed of you.

As long as you get down on those Banana

Republican knees and suck dick, honey

you're all my sisters.

And I love you. I do.

God bless you... and f*** off.

Ma?

Ma?

Ma?

Oh, my... Oh, my God.

Jacko... Jacko.

Mr. Z I didn't expect

Where's my mother?

Leonard. Haven't I

always been good to you?

Good to me? You've always

been g-good to me, Mr. Z.

Didn't I help you get the mortgage

on this place for your mother?

You 're a saint, Mr. Z.

I kind of treated you like a pet, didn't I?

Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Sit down, Leonard.

We searched every step of Raymond's

route 5500 times and still no money.

Mr. Z, don't you remember

that I was the one that tipped you off?

Mmn-hmn. And we searched every square

inch of that asswipe leabag motel.

- And still no money.

- Mr., Z, please!

I swear to you. I swear on my mother.

I swear on my mother!

Oh, your mother.

She said she didn't know anything either.

Even after we took her glasses.

Monmy.

And her hearing aid.

And her teeth.

Mommy.

Mommy.

And her little bird.

Lucia no.

Now, in exactly 20 minutes, Vance

is gonna deliver your mother here.

Don't worry about her.

I told him to soothe her with milkshakes

and whatever the f*** else

she could gum down at the drive thru.

Now, if... and this is a big if', Leonard

if you are telling the truth

then someone in that hotel got my money.

I don't have it. I don't have it.

I don't have it.

If you're a good dog

you'll fetch and retrieve it for me.

If you don't...

I can only come to one conclusion.

Leonard, if you spend one dime

that looks suspicious

next time, you won't be

swearing on your mother.

You'll be swearing on her grave.

Who is it?

It's Walt.

Oh, honey, come on in. The door's open.

Surprise!

Come on in the house.

Come on. Surprise.

Happy graduation! Happy graduation!

Happy graduation!

Yeah, sing it up!

Happy graduation! Happy graduation!

Wanna dance?

I'd love to. But I should go.

Bye, honey. Take care o f yourself.

Mr. My Left Foot.

This is the movie I was talking about.

My Left Foot. This is for you to keep.

It's very inspirational

Do you like my cufflinks?

And they really shoot BBs.

If you like this, I can get you another one.

It's called The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Have you heard of it before?

It's my favourite.

It's about this guy who's really

misshapen. Even worse than you.

And he falls in love with this beautiful

fiery, wild, gypsy girl called Esmerelda.

She kinda looks like me.

Let's dance!

Oh, God. My tits are falling down.

Here, you wanna see 'em?

Here's what it is.

Hello! Pizza, everyone!

All right!

Carmine, Carmine! Let me pay for them.

We got 'em. I got one, and Carmine

and his folks are getting the other.

Hi, Carmine.

I have to get goin'. My father's waitin'.

A lot of work to do.

Carmine, why don't you have a drink?

Come on, have a drink.

Let me touch you r chest.

Girls, take him down! Take him down!

No. You first.

My popper, good popper

Give me a kiss, honey.

She's sweet, right?

God, how old is she?

She's a Leo.

I asked how old she was.

I... You know, I don't know.

I met her when

she was wearing a uniform.

Oh, yeah? What kind of uniform?

You know, that school outfit or whatever.

What school?

The little Catholic place down the street.

Junior high? High school?

You know, yeah. You know.

Take it off! Look at that. Oh, my God!

Look at his stomach, Jesus Christ!

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…
