Indy's Women: The American Film Institute Tribute Page #10

---

A dress, a purse.

I don't think

he even really likes her that much.

He's just lonely.

He misses you.

Molly, I can't.

I just can't.

I know, I remember.

I used to watch you get ready

to go out with Dad.

And you'd let me put on your dresses

and your high heels...

...and draw on some lipstick.

I wanted to be you.

I'm gonna go call Sylvie.

Hey.

-Hey.

-Mary.

I wanna know

what you're talking to my daughter about.

I promised her I wouldn't discuss it.

She's having emotional problems,

now you decide to be discreet?

I thought she needed a safe place.

I'm the safe place, okay?

That is my job, not yours.

I'm the mother, not you.

-She said she loves me.

-Yeah, you never have to say no.

You show me the stretch marks,

and you can do all the mothering you want.

And what is this, casual Friday?

It's Wednesday.

Yeah, I know.

-What's wrong?

-Nothing.

-Something.

-Look, let's just drop it, okay?

I didn't mean to cause problems.

I was just trying to help.

Don't you ever get tired of saying that?

How dare you reprimand me for stepping in

where you should have been all along.

You have not been there

for your daughter, Mary.

You've not been there for anybody.

You're not willing to face the hard stuff.

Don't you criticize me.

Let me ask you something.

Now that Molly trusts you,

are you gonna betray her like you did me?

Do you have any idea

how hard it is to be your friend?

I tried to make it up to you.

What more do you want?

I wanna know

how you can sell out your best friend.

I hope that job is worth it, Sylvie,

because it's all you've got.

I quit my job.

-What?

-What else could I do?

I was making terrible compromises.

I can't believe you quit.

How could I be so out of whack

that I sold out my best friend?

You were in an impossible situation.

Of course you'd wanna keep your job.

It's what you do, and you're great at it.

It's nothing compared

to being responsible for a child.

-I don't know how you do it.

-Come on, I'm a terrible mother.

Look what I'm passing down

from my own.

I can't even talk to my own daughter

about sex.

Well, it's easy for me.

I wasn't there changing her diapers.

-I mean--

-I know, you are helping me out.

You're doing me a really big favor.

Thank you very much.

Goddamn it. Thank you.

Anything I can do.

You have a huge job, huge.

I'm so glad I never had children.

That's the last impermissible thing

you can say at a party.

That you don't want children.

Well, I'm gonna have a dinner party

and then you can say that.

Oh, my God, I'm exhausted.

We're a mess.

I like your hair, though.

You know what?

I got my divorce papers today.

Oh.

All I have to do is sign,

and I can't seem to be able to find a pen.

Mary, look, it's the 21 st century.

It's okay for people

to fight for their relationships.

You know what this feels like?

It feels like

that phantom limb syndrome.

You know that thing where you lose a part

of your body, like an arm or something...

...but you still have the sensation

that it's there.

Well, you know,

I'm sure Stephen feels the same way.

Oh, no,

I'm not talking about Stephen and me.

I'm talking about you and me.

Fan out.

Hi, remember me?

Oh, Mrs. Haines.

-My nails are a mess.

But why wouldn't they be,

with what I've been through?

-Do you have time?

-No problem.

It's the least I could do.

-Mary?

Sylvie.

Oh, hi, how have you been?

Oh, fantastic.

I just had the most fabulous facial.

So how's it going with you-know-who?

Oh, absolutely fantastic,

like we never skipped a beat.

And the sex is just off the charts.

I am so jealous.

It's the whole sneaking-around thing

that gives it its yummy edge.

There's nothing like having an affair

with your estranged husband...

...to put the spark back in things.

-Oh.

-Oops.

Oh, my God, I'm such an idiot.

I better go,

before I put my foot in it again.

Great seeing you, Mary.

-Call me, okay?

Sure.

Well, that was awkward.

You don't still see Crystal, do you?

You have to forget what you just heard.

My life's been complicated enough

this year.

It's all safe with me.

-Now, have you decided on a color?

-Yes.

Jungle Red.

Are you sure, Tanya?

Oh, God, I can't believe he's seeing her

behind my back.

I'm practically living with the man.

Doesn't anybody respect rules anymore?

My father's taking me home now.

God almighty, you scared me.

I gotta go.

He said I should say good night.

-Oh, well, come give me a little kiss.

-That's okay.

-Oh, come on.

We just spent

the whole weekend together.

It's hot in here and I have my coat on.

All right. Well, good night.

-Good night.

Uh....

Good night, who?

-I asked you to call me Aunt Crystal.

-I don't want to.

Hey, you know, I have bent over backwards

to be nice to you.

I fixed up your room,

I made you that amazing dinner.

Who screws up macaroni and cheese?

That's not the point.

The point is that I make an effort.

Why don't you make an effort?

What's your problem?

I don't like you.

Come on.

What kind of stupid answer is that?

Everybody likes me.

What would your father say

if he heard you talking to me like this?

I don't think he cares.

Why, what'd you hear? What'd he say?

Nothing.

Oh, by the way,

I won't be here next Friday.

My mother's having a fashion show.

Yeah, it's something she's always

wanted to do, and now she's doing it.

My father thinks it's great.

He finds the whole thing

kind of sexy, in a way.

You know, a woman

coming into her own and all that.

At least that's what I heard him say.

Well, enjoy your bath.

Stephen!

I don't know what they do in your country,

but you don't throw the tinsel in clumps.

We place it. We place it.

Okay, I'm ready to go.

Oh, my God.

This is it, the big day.

Look at you.

I don't know how you are

so calm and collected.

-You must be freaking out inside.

-Uta.

No, I'm really okay.

I always imagined myself doing this.

I guess I just stood in my own way,

you know?

Listen, kiddo.

It doesn't matter what happens tonight.

What counts is that you showed up.

I always knew

there was someone else inside of you.

Thank you, Maggie.

You know, I just love you.

Okay. Here I go.

I'm going.

And, Uta, you'll drop Molly in an hour.

-Yup.

-All right.

Maggie, can it be?

Are you involved?

Oh, shut up.

Here, decorate.

You should be on the Discovery Channel.

It's got too much blue.

We gotta get her a different....

I see that. Just give me a second.

All right.

-Mary.

-Hey.

-Excuse me just a second.

-Mom, can you believe the turnout?

All the best boutiques are here.

If I throw up, will you hold my hair?

It's going to be great.

By the way,

your father stopped by earlier...

...and said to tell you

he didn't think you had this kind of talent.

-Fantastic.

-Don't be bitter. It leads to Botox.

Listen, I'm not sure about

the opening sequence of the show.

And I think you need to reconsider

where you place the coats.

Mom,

when you said you'd underwrite me...
