she's got some infection.

In her nose?

No, it wasn't a nose job.

It was her stomach.

- My dad is dead.

- He is?

I thought he owned

the one-hour photo.

That's my stepdad.

My real dad died when I was 10.

10?

That's horrible.

I miss him a lot. My mom and I

don't even talk about him.

I don't really

have a dad either.

I mean he's alive

but we have

no relationship.

Doesn't he want one?

I guess not.

I don't think

he ever really liked us.

Or me, I should say,

he never liked me.

He has to like you.

He's your dad.

(chuckles)

Sometimes I think

I used to be nicer.

You're so nice.

I have a problem

with anger.

Do you want

to stay over for dinner?

My mom's cooking

Chicken Payard.

(giggles)

Are you kidding?

Did you see the way

she looked at me?

I have to go somewhere

with my sister anyway.

Will you meet me later?

Spend the night with me?

How?

We could pick a place,

I don't know.

- A hotel or...

- No.

My daughter would freak.

I've never spent the night

away from her.

She's with her dad.

That's true.

But...

Okay.

I gotta get my bag.

- You were great.

- Thanks.

- I loved the movie.

- I'm so glad.

Who are your dates?

These are my sisters,

Michelle and Annie.

Are you proud of your sister?

- I didn't have a big part.

- Don't tell him that.

It's true.

You just saw it.

- You made it.

- Hey.

No, this is mine.

How did I do?

Hey, you guys,

this is Cindy, my agent.

These are my sisters,

Michelle and Annie.

Hi, nice to meet you.

I didn't know

you had two sisters.

I've told you

a million times.

- You did?

- Yeah.

Are you upset

your part was cut down?

Yeah, a little,

you know.

I only

had two scenes so...

You know how hard I pushed

to get you that part?

It's better than nothing.

Courtney, hi.

You should tell her

to f*** off.

I gave her one of your chairs.

She liked it.

Really?

You think she liked it?

Yeah.

Woman:
Which one of you

is older?

(in unison)

She is.

What do you do? You're thin enough

to be an actress.

I'm an artist.

I thought you worked

at a one-hour photo.

Woman:

That's an interesting job.

I take my pictures

to a one-hour photo.

It takes about an hour.

Yeah.

What are you going

to be doing next?

I'm not sure really.

I'm getting offered some stuff.

Annie:

I'm bored.

We told you

you'd be bored.

- Annie:
I am.

- Elizabeth:
Want to eat something?

The food is weird.

I want to go home.

All right.

- But it's early.

- What do you want me to do?

Annie,

can't you just be patient?

I'm tired.

I wouldn't mind going home.

I'm worried about Mom.

- I don't want to go yet.

- Well, stay.

- Really?

- If you want to.

You don't think

it'd be weird?

No, kind of, but...

no, stay.

Okay.

- Okay.

- Okay.

- Have fun.

- Bye.

You're too young to be wearing

all that make-up.

My butt itches.

Look at the poor pup.

So dirty.

Come on.

Annie:

You have enough dogs.

Come on, puppy.

- (dog growls)

- Hey, baby.

Elizabeth:
Aah!

(dog growls)

Help!

Someone please help!

Please help!

Michelle:
It's strange because

it's not like me.

But I didn't

mind the pain.

I mean I minded,

but it was worth it.

I guess you women

have a raw deal.

Oh no, no.

Childbirth is incredible.

What I went through

made me a stronger person.

I'll always feel

really proud of that.

I didn't scream for the drugs.

And that's saying a lot.

- So...

- Man:
Excuse us.

Oh, yeah.

Cindy,

hi, how are you?

Do I know you?

I'm Michelle.

Elizabeth's sister.

Oh, right.

You know...

you're sister

is a neurotic mess.

My sister is insecure.

Is that a crime?

F*** off!

# Down to the store tonight #

# Can you still

see my face #

# Next to my eyes? #

You're going to have to get

a series of rabies injections.

What made you go after

a strange dog like that?

He looked lost.

- Hi.

- Hi.

I've been waiting so long,

I didn't think you would come.

I'm sorry,

I can't go to a motel with you.

No, a hotel...

someplace nice.

I can't.

I don't know what we're doing.

We're having a relationship.

I'm married.

I'm old.

I've been thinking about you

all night.

About spending the night

with you.

It's not gonna happen.

Please?

Let me be with you.

Jordan!

- Jordan!

- Hmm hmm.

- Get out of this car.

- Oh.

Oh, Mom,

you remember Michelle?

Hi, I know this looks weird,

but it's not what you think.

- Michelle's my lover.

- Jordan, we're friends.

We're not...

we're a lot more than friends.

Jordan, get out of the car

and go to your room.

- No.

- Now!

It's okay.

You should go.

I can't believe this!

What...

That's funny,

I have that same robe.

What?

Who cares what kind

of robe she's...

- Is this some kind of joke to you?

- No.

I just think

you should go inside.

(siren blares)

God!

Officer:
License

and registration, please.

We weren't driving.

License and registration,

please.

Look, my mom...

I don't know what she told you

but she's crazy,

so like...

Please step out

of the vehicle.

Step around

to the back of the car.

Place your hands

on the hood.

- You have the right to remain silent.

- Are you kidding?

- What did she do?

- You're handcuffing me?

- What did she do?

- Statutory rape is illegal.

- What? She didn't even rape me.

- You have the right...

...to have an attorney present...

- We didn't do anything.

If you cannot afford an attorney,

one will be provided for you.

Do you understand

these rights?

- Yes.

- I wanted to be here.

We're in a relationship.

Son, please go back

into the house.

- Michelle:
(laughs)

- Watch your head.

Please don't talk to me

like that, Bill.

I know what

you've been doing.

Of course, I know.

I'm not an idiot.

Don't even threaten me

with something like that.

It was just a fling.

This had nothing to do with Maddy.

Did Donna have anything

to do with Maddy?

You go to hell!

(sobs)

He wants to take

my daughter from me.

That's rough.

I'd die, you know.

She's everything.

She's the best thing

I ever did.

(sobs)

Annie, don't forget

to brush your teeth.

And not just

for two seconds, okay?

Annie?

Annie.

Annie!

Annie!

Annie?

My sister's missing.

She's only eight.

I thought she was

in the house with me.

(sobbing)

No, no, I have no idea

where she'd go.

You'll be notified by the court

if charges are pressed.

I think it's broken.

Could you

let me off here, please?

Can I take your order?

How many nuggets

in a large?

20?

How big are they?

Umm...

Thanks.

Annie:

I won't finish it all.

I just couldn't decide

what to order.

What are you doing here?

I was hungry.

Where's Elizabeth?

Home.

How did you get here?

Walked.

You walked here

by yourself?

Yeah.

Does Elizabeth

know you're here?

No.

Annie!

Hi, it's me.

I'm with Annie.

No, she's fine,

she's fine.

McDonald's.

Yeah. Okay, okay.

All right, bye.

Annie,

do you have any idea

how dangerous this was?

Elizabeth is hysterical.

Are you going

to drink that?

No.

Don't worry,

I'm not gonna finish it.

I don't care.
