Manson Family Vacation Page #3

---

You think it's a fun fact,

but it's not.

I mean, it's, like,

really disturbing.

Okay, I'm sorry,

but I mean, it is something that

I've been thinking about that...

I mean, a lot of people

ignore death,

and it's something to think

about and not just shove away.

Are you... Do you hear

yourself right now?

I mean, you... You're talking about

not ignoring death, and embracing it.

But when it comes to Dad's funeral,

you don't come. Like, what is that?

You know, we weren't

getting along. I mean...

Do you know the last time

that he called me?

When's the last time

you called him?

I gave up calling.

Why? What's the point of calling? And

it's, like, there's nothing going on.

There was no exchange

going on.

Even if you're not gonna go

to the funeral for Dad's sake,

you could have come for Mom.

Mom's way better off,

you know.

How would you know?

You don't know. You're just

talking out of your ass.

Mom was a f***ing basket case.

She found him on the floor.

She was, like, hysterical

for weeks.

She was a wreck, I was a wreck. I had to

do the flowers, I had to do the casket,

I had to do the cemetery,

I had to do the announcement,

- I had to do the invites.

- Okay.

You know what I mean? I don't

want to talk to those people.

Okay.

So, you can understand then...

No, I can't understand.

Look, you didn't want

my help, you know.

I mean, you're glad. You're

taking care of everything again,

and you look good,

and Mom loves you.

And that's the dynamic that you

have, and, "Oh, f***ing, Connie.

I know. " You know.

I mean, that's fine.

Yeah, that's...

Your dynamic is just like,

oh, yeah, it's impossible and,

you know, everybody hates you.

Don't they?

This car taken?

Dude, I'm sorry. Okay?

Look, um...

Let's just go back to my house.

I'm gonna go do my thing.

Why don't you take the car?

You can do whatever,

the rest of the stuff

you want to do today.

I think we should smoke

together. All right?

I am not gonna smoke weed.

Why?

- I'm not in the mood for it.

- That's the point.

I think you need this, man.

- You have the day off, right?

- Yeah.

Okay.

So let's enjoy the day.

You're right. I didn't

deal with Dad's death. Okay?

It's really good.

How do you feel?

It's pretty good.

What are we doing?

We're going to Leo and Rosemary

LaBianca's old residence.

All right.

- Is that it?

- God.

This is the

LaBianca house, man.

Holy sh*t!

Come on. Come on.

I bet the kitchen is on this side,

and the kitchen is key here, okay?

Because that's where they wrote on

the fridge in blood, "Helter Skelter".

- Oh.

- That all came from this kitchen.

Oh, my God.

I gotta get into the kitchen.

Go, go. Go.

I wish we could get closer.

Get up.

Oh, dude. There's the

owner of the house.

- What do we do?

- I got an idea.

What? What? Are you sure?

- Hey, um, excuse me.

- What are you doing?

Okay,

just let me handle it.

Hi.

Um, we are... Can we

talk to you for a second?

No, I'm sorry.

- Oh.

- No.

- Um...

- What are you doing?

Just chill. Um...

We are the grandchildren

of the LaBiancas.

You're the grandchildren?

- You'll have to forgive me for being so defensive.

- Wow.

You can imagine we have a lot of

strange people coming here all the time.

- No problem.

- Yeah.

All is in the past,

you know.

- Thank you.

- Oh, you're welcome.

It's amazing that you let us

in. I just thank you so much.

Yes, what he said.

- Nice to meet you.

- Good to meet you. This is Conrad.

- Hi Conrad. I'm Janice.

- Hi. Nice to meet you.

Beautiful skin.

Thank you.

Sorry, it's

a little messy in here.

Oh, no, it's beautiful. What are you

talking about? This place is gorgeous.

Oh, well, I like to

keep it neater than this.

This is where the body was.

LaBianca, the guy.

They carved into his stomach.

They stabbed him right here.

Shut the f*** up.

Um, he was just saying

that this area right here,

we have a photograph with us

playing with trains right here.

This guy was so cute

in the photos.

- Yes.

- Of course.

- Just being in this room is so cool It's really...

- Yes.

...you know,

special for us.

I'm sure this is not

a subject you're fond of,

but I was just wondering, you

know, after what happened here,

do you ever feel, like, you

know, just creeped out, you know?

No. Not really.

It is strange, knowing that Charles

Manson was actually in the house.

Wait. What?

Charles Manson

was in the house?

Yes. He's the one

who broke in.

That's weird,

because I had heard

that Charles Manson was not

a part of the murders at all.

Well, no, he just came in and tied them

up, but he wasn't part of the murders.

You know, at the Tate house

I told you it was such a mess.

And so they wanted to...

- He just wanted to make sure it was like cleaner...

- Yeah.

You know, for... When the...

For the LaBiancas.

- Mmm-hmm. - I mean,

Pop Pop. You know.

Um...

I must

sound like a freak.

I just... I mean, I've researched

it because it's our family.

Anyway, it f***ing sucks

that that happened, obviously.

He's sorry.

Um, do you have...

I mean, duh,

obviously,

you have a kitchen,

but could we take

a quick look at it?

The kitchen?

Gee, I'm sorry, it's...

It's a real mess. Right now

I'd really rather you didn't.

I mean, I don't mind

if it's a little messy.

Maybe some other time.

But, you know, it's fine.

Like, I mean...

No, no, it's okay.

It's okay.

This is more than enough.

Well, I mean, this was

kind of the whole point.

I guess, just 'cause

of the memories.

- But...

- She doesn't want us to go in the kitchen.

Okay. Sorry. Yeah.

No, it's all right.

I understand.

Maybe another time.

You know what? Thank you so

much for doing this for us.

You're very welcome.

You know, I actually

wanted to let you know,

when we were coming in, I saw that your

retaining wall right at the front here

was sloping a little bit.

So, on the way out

maybe I could show you that.

'Cause my wife and I went through the

same thing. It was really easy to fix.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Did you need to go

to the bathroom?

Um, you had to go.

Oh, yeah. Okay, great.

I'll go to the bathroom.

- Yeah.

- I'll met you guys at...

- Cool.

- The retaining wall.

- Just over here?

- To the left.

This is so easy to fix.

Is it the one

with the bricks?

Yeah, you gotta

catch it now, though.

Hey.

- Who are you?

- Who the f*** are you?

I'm sorry. I just... You're...

Is that

a Charlie Manson t-shirt?

Hey! Nick!

Dude, abort!

- What are you doing?

- Get the hell out of here!

Hey!

Frank!

Frank, what are you doing?

I wake up from my nap

and this guy's in our kitchen

taking pictures

in a Charlie Manson shirt.

What?

- I'm sorry. I can explain.

- Explain!

Hey.

Excuse me.

This is why we end up feeling

like prisoners in our own home.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I mean, you did choose

to live here. I mean...

I had no idea what we'd be getting

ourselves into when we bought this place.

I don't understand you.
