Lane 1974 Page #3

Synopsis: Based on a true story, Lane is a 13-year-old girl coming of age on a Northern California commune in the 1970s. While Lane enjoys the freedom of living off-the-grid with her mother and younger siblings, she craves a stable "normal" life - a life she's only seen in pictures from a stolen Sears catalog. Lane must navigate her troubled mother, Hallelujah, while trying to care for her younger brother and sister. After a series of dangerous and isolating events, Lane decides to forge her own path in hopes of finding a better life after it becomes clear her family has fallen apart.

That was good.

Hey, Lane, come on.

We have to go.

Now, Lane.

Move it

Come on, let's go.

Where's Shayla?

Mom!

She's gonna stay here

for a while. Come on.

No.

Mom, I don't wanna

leave her here.

Come on, right now.

I'm not leaving her here.

She's my sister!

Lane, I don't have time

for your histrionics.

Come on.

I'm not playing a game.

Shayla's staying here,

and Claude's gonna come

and get you and Jamie,

and that's the way

it's gonna be,

because I'm tired of this sh*t.

Come on.

Charlie, shut the door.

What are you making?

I'm building an airplane.

Okay.

Do you think Dad's really

coming to get us?

No.

You have a better chance of flying

out of here on your airplane.

Jamie, stop it for a second.

Stop it.

Daddy!

Hey there, little buddy.

Hi, Daddy! Hi, Daddy!

Hi, Daddy! Hi, Daddy!

Hi, Daddy!

Hey, you remember me?

Hi, Daddy! Hi, Daddy!

Hi, Daddy!

How are you doing?

Hi, Daddy!

Hey, you. Little girl.

What are you doing

all the way over there?

Come here.

Hi.

Wow, you guys are big.

This is where I'm building

an airplane out of spare parts.

This is the gearbox.

This is the intake manifold.

They connect to...

Jamie, take Claude to

the campsite, okay?

Come on, let's go find your mom.

Show me this later.

Cool truck, huh?

This guy's paying me money to take

it all the way back to New Mexico.

Hmm.

So you finally found a reason

to come back to California.

So glad you could

finally make it.

Over here is where we sleep.

And that's the shitter there.

And over there is where

Mom meditates.

Yeah? Oh,

it's meditating now, huh?

Still throw the I Ching?

How about the runes?

Mommy still throw the runes?

What are you doing?

Okay.

I'm gonna try to knock you off.

How's that?

Whaa!

Whoa!

You know, you look

a lot like my mom.

Doesn't she, Karen?

She looks like Lorraine.

I told you I changed my name.

Dad, you know my airplane?

Well, it can also

turn into a spaceship.

Is Lorraine still alive?

The intake manifold is

2,000 years' power.

The suspension is

double rack and pinion.

And the navigation

is inertial and gyroscopic,

and is radar, too.

Yeah, she's alive and living

in Las Vegas.

You know, it's a shame she hasn't

seen you since you were a baby.

She loved you so much.

What?

She has a good heart,

no matter what you think.

I think it's time for bed.

Dad, do you wanna

work on it with me tomorrow?

I gotta leave tomorrow.

Are we going with you?

You gotta talk

to your mom about that.

She wants us to go.

I'll see.

Lane...

Right?

Didn't that...

Didn't you say that...

I want you to go to bed.

Jamie, you, too.

Get your things.

Get your bag, it's late.

Good night.

Good night.

Go to sleep.

Don't paint me as the bad guy.

Do you hear me?

You don't know

my situation, all right?

Don't argue with me.

Look, I just want you to

be a father...

and uphold your obligations.

I just take both of the kids?

I just take them away?

Yeah, that's

what a dad does, right?

Yeah, but...

I don't care.

They need their father.

I can barely take

care of myself, all right?

You're not the only

one who's entitled to a life.

Get in.

Get inside.

Get around front.

Fine.

Wait!

Wait!

Dad!

Come back!

Jamie!

Come back!

Don't leave me here!

You forgot about me!

Lane.

You have to understand.

Sometimes, things in life don't

happen the way you want 'em to.

Some things we just don't get.

You're just thinking about all that

sh*t food Claude was gonna feed you.

Now, come on.

There's someone

I want you to meet.

Come and get some rice.

Lane.

Lane, this is Tom Starchild.

He's joining me in

meditation and purification.

We need to give thanks for this rice.

Thank you for the rice.

Lane...

This...

is made with peyote.

It's very powerful

and it puts you in

direct contact

with the Holy Spirit.

We're gonna drink this

for our vision quest.

Would you like to try some?

Is peyote what give you

the highest high?

A man and a woman making love

is the highest high.

F***! Ugh!

Hey!

Hey.

Hi.

Um, can I get a ride?

I'm only going as

far as the bus depot.

That's okay.

Yeah. Get in the back.

Thanks.

Hello.

Hi, um...

This is Lane calling.

I'm Claude's daughter.

Hello?

Just a minute.

You're Claude's daughter?

Yeah.

Lane, yeah.

I met you when you were a baby.

That was a lot of years ago.

Is it okay if I come

stay with you for a while?

Please deposit 10

cents for the next four minutes.

Thank you.

Lane?

Hello?

Lane, are you there?

I don't have much time

on the phone.

I'm coming on a bus from

Santa Rosa, California.

We're sorry. Please

try your call again later.

I'm leaving today.

Okay...

Hey. Hey. Wake up.

We're in Vegas.

Last stop.

You're Lane?

Yeah.

Is that your bag?

That all you brought?

Yeah.

Okay. Well, we'll get

some more things.

Go on that side of the car,

get in there now.

We got a party at home.

A party?

Yeah.

Come on.

Everybody's waiting.

Okay.

Let's get away

She'd always say

Let's get away from it all

Here, you take what you want.

And there's a bed

in the basement.

You can take your food

down there.

No silly boys No silly toys

Let's get away, she'd say

Play in the sand

Swim in the beach

Feel the sun On our toes

We'll take our sweet time

No matter what time

Of the day it is

Stay up all night

Just watch The stars in

the sky In their place

Maybe rise for the sun

And on, and on

And on, and on

No silly toys No silly boys

Let's get away She said

Play in the sand

Swim in the beach

Feel the sun On our toes

We'll take our sweet time

No matter what time

Of the day it is

Stay up all night

Just watch The stars in

the sky In their place

Maybe rise for the sun

And on, and on

And on, and on

She'd always say

Let's get away

Let's get away from it all

It's yours For the taking

It's yours You can make it

Yes, you can

Goodbye, 1974
