so many classes.

I don't know.

I'm used to it.

Annie?

Annie!

You can't do that.

You can't play that game.

- I was floating.

- Didn't you hear me?

- No.

- You heard me perfectly well.

- You were laughing.

- It was funny.

It was not funny.

Come on, out of the pool.

Lorraine:

No more swimming.

Out! Out!

What are you

looking at?

Don't look away,

you're the fat girl.

- You're the fat girl.

- You can't act like that.

Feeling guilty

about your boyfriend?

A little.

We broke up.

- When?

- Two days ago.

A long mourning period,

I see.

(giggles)

You didn't have to ditch him

so you could sleep with me.

He probably

wouldn't have minded.

How's that?

A movie star.

Different role.

Go on.

You don't know

how many boyfriends

will forgive you for cheating

with somebody famous.

And when two famous people

cheat with each other

they cancel each other out.

I see.

(giggles)

Come on,

you look good.

Do I?

Do you...

think that

I am sexy person?

No, I think

you're a cow.

Let me ask you something,

I've been seeing this trainer

and I think he doesn't

know his sh*t.

Look at my stomach. I told him

I want it narrow and hard.

Instead,

I'm getting wide and pumped.

What do you think?

No, it's fine.

If I asked you to do something weird,

would you maybe do it?

Oh, absolutely.

I'm gonna stand there...

and you're gonna tell me

everything that's wrong with me.

You can also say

what's good with me.

But I hardly know you.

I mean about my looks,

my body, my face.

Whoa, no way,

girlie.

Are you kidding?

No.

You don't understand.

You'd be doing me a favor.

- No.

- I won't be mad at you.

- Not a chance.

- I want to hear your opinion.

I won't get upset.

This is some kind

of trick.

Why do you want me

to do this?

I just do.

Good and bad?

Your opinion.

Yeah, well, hmm...

You got nice hips,

nice flat stomach,

sexy belly button.

You're definitely on

the skinny side, kind of bony.

Okay, the bush is big.

- (giggles)

- Big bush.

It could use a little trim.

You could trim

the trim.

(chuckles)

This is so weird.

Okay...

I like your breasts.

One's a little bigger than the other

but they're really pretty.

Perfect from the front.

Turn to the side.

They're a little droopy

from the side.

Nice nipples though.

Good color.

You're bowlegged.

It seems like your knees

are thicker than...

Turn around.

In a perfect world,

your ass would be rounder.

But overall,

your body is in good proportion.

You've got smooth skin, kind of pale.

You could use some sun.

You have a really sweet smile,

very charming.

Your teeth are yellow, though.

I should give you

the number of my dentist.

You have pretty eyes...

although one of them

is bigger than the other.

Your hair is flat

and thin,

but you've got

a real nice neck.

It's long and smooth,

happens to smell good too.

What about my arms?

- Your arms?

- Yes, my arms.

I don't know,

they seem fine.

Oh, yeah,

they're a little loose

right at the top.

They could be

a little more toned.

- They're kind of flabby.

- Is that it?

You want more?

Is there more?

No, I think

that's probably about it.

Okay.

Thank you.

- You're not upset?

- No.

- You sure?

- I'm positive.

Should I get you

something to eat?

- No thanks.

- Tea?

No, I've got to pick up

my little sister.

Was this some sort

of sick fetish thing?

No.

No.

I like your dress too.

Thanks.

Bye.

You sure you're not mad?

I'm not mad.

Oh good!

Because that was

sort of refreshing.

She pretended she was dead

in the pool,

which scared the hell out of me

and everyone else.

Then she teased

some poor girl.

Honestly, I didn't

know how to handle it.

She has

no sense of humor.

I'm sorry.

I know she's

going through a lot.

Her mom's in the hospital

and everything.

So, shall I bring her by

on Friday?

I don't think so.

I don't think I can take

this kind of thing on.

This kind of thing?

It's not like she doesn't have

any real sisters.

When I signed up

to be a Big Sister

I thought I would get

somebody poor from a bad family.

This is sort of weird.

Why is it weird?

She needs to have a relationship

with somebody who's Black.

Well,

this Black somebody

doesn't want

to do it anymore.

Did you have dinner

with that gross guy?

Yeah.

- You're wearing a real Baldesaro?

- Yeah, who is that?

I don't know. I think he's good.

Are they giving it to you?

No, lending it to me

for the premiere.

- Who are you taking?

- I thought I'd take Annie.

Can I come?

I don't have to work today.

Okay.

You'll have to meet us there.

- I can do that.

- Good.

What do you do?

You develop pictures?

Yeah, it's fun.

You went to college.

I mean, how much can you make?

Eight bucks an hour.

And your boss is 17?

So?

He's probably got

a huge crush on you.

How are you and Bill?

I don't know why

he ever married me.

You were pregnant.

Where's Mom?

She's in the hospital.

How could she be worse?

I don't understand.

Is she gonna be all right?

Your mother's blood cultures

came back positive

indicating she's

bacteremic.

- She's in a coma.

- Yeah.

She's most definitely

not in a coma.

The infection is causing

confusion and delirium, that's all.

I don't believe this.

She had liposuction.

Doctor:
Whenever you do surgery

there is a risk.

We're giving her strong

antibiotics for an infection.

This is bullshit.

- I'm sorry.

- You'd better be.

- Elizabeth, stop this.

- Stop what?

It's probably because the nurses

didn't pay attention to her.

Elizabeth, your mother

is going to recover.

Toward that end,

the less noise

and the less stress,

the better.

Excuse me.

A**hole!

Bill:

It's not your fault, babe.

I did tell her

her stomach was flabby.

(sobbing)

You didn't tell her

to have an operation.

Everybody has

these operations.

- No, they don't.

- Yes, they do.

- That means they should?

- I don't give a sh*t if they should.

I just know my mother

is really sick.

And you're acting

like you don't care.

You care, Daddy.

Of course I care.

But the doctor said

she'd be fine.

Wow!

- Where are you going?

- I don't know.

It looks amazing.

It's very flattering.

Are you kidding?

This looks disgusting.

Did he leave me

anything else?

No, just this.

He picked it out

especially for you.

Are you sure you wouldn't like

to try it with this?

No, please no.

Hi,

is Jordan home?

Oh, uh, yeah.

He just got home from school.

Can I help you with something?

No, I'm a friend of his.

Oh, come on in.

Thanks.

- (knocking)

- # Turn the pain... #

Jordan, there's someone

here to see you.

- What's your name?

- Michelle.

Bye, Mom.

Bye.

# When you're just

another waiter... #

This is so incredibly

humiliating.

Why?

Look at my room.

I know how old you are.

Is it okay

that I came here?

Are you depressed?

- Is it me?

- No, my mom's really sick.

Was she old?

No, she had a cosmetic

surgery operation

and her fluid shifted

and I don't know...
