- I don't have anything
against women my own age.
- Sure you do.
I tell you what --
I'll tell you my theory,
and you just
jump in any time.
All right?
Oh, you can sit.
For starters,
I don't really think...
that your young girl predilection
has much to do...
with their firm,
young flesh.
I mean, when someone like you
is out with someone like Harper,
you must invite all kinds
of comparison and ridicule,
which can't be much fun...
for either of you.
Right, honey?
So then, what is...
a man of, uh, your age...
doing with
my 21-year-old daughter?
It'd be easy enough to say you're afraid
of mature women, but that's so glib.
Afraid of what,
exactly?
So I kept thinking.
And then it hit me.
I know exactly what she has
that I haven't got.
Awe.
That's it, isn't it?
I mean, no real woman --
no woman of experience
would ever stand in front of you...
with awe in her eyes...
and say,
"Wow, look at that man.
Look at that bohemian
wedding photographer...
with holes in his jeans.
Gosh, isn't he something?"
No.
I mean, it takes
a naive girl for that.
So what do you think?
Am I right?
You're some woman,
Deborah.
Mrs. Sloane.
I'm Mrs. Sloane.
I know what
you're doing,
and it makes me sick.
Well...
that was fun.
Actually, I really didn't
enjoy myself all that much.
- But I think you did, didn't you?
- What?
The shocked way you acted
about your mom being here.
It was very convincing.
You really had me
going there.
It took me a few minutes before
I realized that you'd put your
mother up to the whole thing.
You know, it's amazing,
but...
when you're in love,
even someone like me...
can forget
the most basic truths.
Everybody's just a product
of their environment.
How could you be
any different...
from the ruling class
you come from?
Of course,
you're a disingenuous, deceitful,
untrustworthy, two-faced
piece of bourgeois trash.
It's not your fault.
I don't blame you.
But I never want
to see you again, okay?
When I get back,
I don't want you here.
Connie.
Couldn't you find
your suitcase?
I didn't look
very hard.
I'm so happy to see that
four years of reading Chaucer...
has prepared you for this
glorious career in food service.
Do not be a snob. There's nothing
wrong with honest work, Patty.
You hate it.
We've got back rent
to pay, all right?
- So?
- So I'm doing this.
- Please don't join the ranks
of the disapproving.
Well, I'm sorry.
I think it's weird.
A 21-year-old woman
supporting a 90-year-old man.
Okay, "A," he's not 90, and "B,"
look, I'm not supporting him.
I'm temporarily carrying the burden.
You know what?
It's sexist of you, and ageist, to
expect he should be doing everything...
just because he's a man
and old.
Why doesn't he photograph
weddings anymore?
honest work, blah, blah, blah.
I just want you
to be happy, Harper.
I am happy, Patty.
- If you say so.
Just stay open to it
if some cute guy shows up...
- who wants to lick you all over.-
- There you go. Enjoy.
- Thanks.
Yeah,
I noticed them too.
They haven't stopped watching us
since we sat down.
- Okay, that's horrifying.
- Nice you can laugh about it.
- Why?
'Cause it bothers you.
I know it does.
I know it's not easy
being with me.
People are thinking whatever they think
about us. They don't understand.
What's not
to understand?
You're rich and powerful, and if I suck
your dick, you'll put me in your movie.
Harper,
I know what I am.
I know I'm not the youngest man
in the world or the wealthiest.
I know I'm not
the most rational man.
And believe it or not,
I know I'm not particularly gorgeous.
But I have to believe I'm giving you
something, this is good for you.
'Cause if it wasn't,
I couldn't stand it.
You're the first person who's ever
believed in me even a little bit.
Look at everything
I'm learning.
- You're doing what you wanna do.
- Of course.
You're here
of your own free will.
You could leave
any time you wanted.
Jesus.
What's gotten into you?
Just put me in your movie and shut up.
- Thanks.
- And you are particularly gorgeous.
Thank you.
And -- And I know
I can leave any time.
Right.
Like I was thinking...
if I started looking...
for a place of my own
in a few months.
Uh-huh.
I mean,just something small,
close to your place.
No big deal.
- Are you upset?
- No.
Just the first I've heard
of it, that's all.
I mean, it's not like
we're breaking up or anything, right?
- It's just a place
I can put all my stuff.
- You haven't got any stuff.
I have stuff.
Yeah.
Of course.
Wh-Whatever you say.
I just --
I thought maybe we could look together.
We can find someplace we both like.
Sure, sure.
Look, I have some things to do.
I'll see you back at home.
I thought we were going to Zack's place,
to the book party thing.
- We're not going?
- You go.
Connie, when I said a few months,
I didn't necessarily mean that.
- It might be a year, or I don't know.
- Fine.
Uh, what you say is fine.
There's a review in here
of theJackson Pollack at the Whitney.
I'll see you at home
later on.
Hey, f*** you,
motherf***er.
Connie?
This is why you should
stop drinking, pal.
Yeah.
- I'll check on him again later.
- Okay.
Thanks, Zack.
Bye.
You know,
I've been thinkin',
Harper.
You've been unconscious.
Yeah, I know, but...
I was thinkin',
what we really need...
is to have some fun.
You know,
like a lot of fun.
This is fun.
I have this collector
in Los Angeles...
who wants to buy
some photographs.
Let's get out of here.
Let's pack up
and head off to L.A...
for a few days.
Okay?
## Ay, ay, ay, ay ##
## Como me gusta ##
## Mira, mi amor ##
##
Yeah, I made a lot
of money in L.A. over the years.
In the early '70s, this gallery
they couldn't keep my stuff
on the walls.
- L.A. was good to me.
I'm glad we're going there.
- Me too.
Walter, he's been trying
to get me back down there for years.
He'll probably ask us
to stay with him.
- Do you think he's going
to buy a lot of pictures?
- Oh, sure.
- He's a big collector, Walter.
- Well, that's great.
So, you know,
we're going to be rich.
Champagne and caviar
for everyone!
That's so like you,
Queen Guinevere,
sharing the wealth.
Well, I have
a royal proclamation.
Proceed, Your Royal Highness.
Your loyal subject is all ears.
Good, because
when we get to L.A.,
- Uh-huh.
- I, Queen Guinevere,
- Mm-hmm.
- am going to stun the world...
Mm-hmm.
- and take a photograph.
- Jesus Christ.
Bravo.
Congratulations.
I thank you.
And, uh, what are you going to take
a photograph of, Your Highness?
You...
in a bathing suit, with a surfboard
going, "Surf s up, dude."
You'll do that for me,
right?
What, you don't approve
of my subject matter?
- What is it?
