Tallulah
[]
Oh you said
That you love me
It was a long, long time ago
And now the way
That you've been
Acting, babe
I know that it's not so...
[song in the background]
[engine revs]
[indistinct shouting]
[Tallulah] Holy sh*t!
Go, go, go, go!
[laughter]
[shrieks] Oh, yeah!
What did I say?
You can't bet with no money.
You can if you win.
- Did you?
- No! But I got this.
- You got it?
- I did.
Oh.
[moaning]
[groans]
Oh, f***! Oh, f***!
Oh!
How do you know this stuff isn't old?
They throw it out every six hours.
It's the law.
I wanna go to India.
[chuckles]
India?
Is that where the Himalayas are?
'Cause I want to climb the Himalayas.
We don't have any money.
So, everybody's poor there.
People live with nothing.
I saw this picture in a magazine
and this woman,
she was sitting in the dirt,
and it was like, trash all around her,
there was, like, a skinny dog.
I mean, she didn't have anything.
She was wrapped
in this giant orange and red cloth...
- Mm-hmm.
- I want to go there.
How are you gonna get there?
Um... drive.
You're gonna drive?
- Underwater.
- Right.
All the way across the ocean,
and we're gonna breathe like this.
[chuckles]
[laughs]
- Hmm?
- Mm-hmm.
- Hey.
- Hmm?
I love you.
I don't wanna go to India.
Why not?
I wanna go home.
This is home.
I mean, real home.
I wanna lie in Washington Square Park.
I wanna smoke a joint.
- I wanna see my mom.
- Why?
'Cause it's been two years
and she's my mom.
Look, you can't go to India, it's crazy.
You do this all the time,
get these big ideas and then...
you know, tomorrow,
it'll be something else.
Let's do something real.
Like what?
[Nico] Like, get married.
- Shut up!
- Come on!
We could... we could get an apartment...
I don't know, we'll get jobs,
- have babies.
- No way.
I'm sick of eating sh*t out of dumpsters
and asking truckers
for shower tickets, all right?
[Nico] I can't do it anymore.
Well, this is the way I live
and if you don't like it,
- then you can get the f*** out.
- Come on, Lu, Jesus!
I mean it.
Go! Get out of here, then.
I said I love you.
Well, then f***ing stop it.
[crickets chirping]
[gasps]
[gasps]
[birds chirping]
[train running]
[grunts]
You say goodbye!

[rock song playing]
[Manuel] Hello? How can I help you?
Yeah, I'm here to see
Margaret Mooney in 2B?
Yeah, Mrs. Mooney is in 3F.
Of course, sorry. It's been forever.
- Yes.
- What's your name?
- Manuel.
- Okay.
Manny! It's a surprise.
I just... I really...
I don't want you to blow it.
Give me one second, okay?
Yeah, of course. You do your thing.
- Hey, Tommy.
- How's it going?
- Okay.
- Here's the stuff.
Who are you?
Are you Mrs. Mooney?
How did you get up here?
I'm a friend of Nico's.
What happened? Is he hurt?
Nothing! No, he's fine.
Last that I saw him...
I just really need to find him.
Well, I can't help you.
I haven't seen my son in two years.
He took all my money, okay?
Of course! When you see him,
tell him to call his mother.
No, wait! Please.
I just really need to find him.
Look, I don't know who you are,
I have no reason to believe
you know my son.
C'mon, man, I've his f***ing name tattooed
on my hand.
So what, you're looking for money?
You're not gonna get it.
- What about, like, five bucks?
- Oh my God!
[door locking]
[elevator bell dings]
She loved it, man.
She was really surprised.
You... [sighs]
[Margo] Here you go, buddy. Come here.
[phone rings]
[answering machine]
Please leave a message after the tone.
[beep]
[Stephen] Hi, Margo, it's Stephen.
He says you've had the papers
for a while now.
Look, I don't mean to rush you...
Actually, I do mean to rush you.
Just give me a call or
sign the papers and drop them...
Eat your damn food! Over here, idiot.
Mrs. Mooney, how are you this afternoon?
I'd be better if strangers
weren't allowed up into my apartment.
- Yes, of course, I apologize.
- No, it's a little late for that.
- Can I have my mail, please?
- Yes, right away.
Uh... There was a package
that came in for...
For Mr. Mooney. I didn't know if you...
I'll take it, thank you.
Okay.
I've lived in this apartment for 18 years.
I don't want a problem
with the university.
I'm not asking you to be dishonest,
just... discreet.
That would be a violation
of the doorman code.
Of course, I'm sorry.
I'm joking.
And again, Mrs. Mooney, I apologize, okay?
If she comes back,
I'm going to tell her to get out.
I'm not going to let...
No. Actually, if she comes back,
I want to talk to her.
Oh, okay.
Thank you.
Are you housekeeping?
Yes.
Leave that alone for a minute
and come inside.
It's a mess.
If they sent a maid when I asked them to,
it wouldn't be a problem, would it?
- What's your name?
- Why?
Because I asked.
Uh, Lu.
- Lucy?
- No, just Lu.
Hmm, I like Lucy better.
- [baby coos]
- [Carolyn] This is Madison.
[baby babbles]
Are you good with kids?
[stammers] I don't know.
Can you watch her for me?
[hesitant chuckle]
I'll pay you.
I have to go out tonight, and I...
[giggles] I can't take her with me.
I'm a little nervous
about her being with somebody else,
but she seems to be comfortable
with you already.
So, I think it's okay...
[knock on door]
Lucy, sweetie,
Could you...
[baby babbles]
- Yeah, for her.
- Thanks.
Oh, you could just
put that down right there.
Thank you, sweetheart.
[giggles]
Hotel help!
You have to show them who's boss.
[giggles]
Oh, I'm sorry, you work here.
That was rude.
No, it's... Doesn't matter. I don't care.
[Carolyn] My husband
doesn't know I'm here.
He wouldn't let me go to Cancun,
he said it was too dangerous.
Too dangerous! Well, I don't care.
I have his credit card,
and if it wasn't for her...
But now I have you.
Yeah, I don't know much
about kids, so...
No, you're perfect! You're perfect!
Couldn't bring the nanny,
she tells him everything
because he cuts the check.
She's a goddamn tattletale,
that's what she is.
[Carolyn] To be honest,
I'm not usually alone with her.
God, it's tiring!
You can keep a secret, can't you?
I'm meeting this man tonight.
This man just looks at me, and I get wet.
I just have to see him.
[baby babbles]
Is that okay?
I need you right now.
[Tallulah] It's a balcony.
Well, she has to learn. There's bars.
I'd sue the f*** out of them.
Shouldn't she be wearing a diaper
or something?
Oh God, no, no. We pee in the toilet.
She's one years old.
Do you think my legs are too white
to wear a skirt?
No.
You think I'm fat, don't you?
No. I mean, not at all.
Once you have a baby,
your body isn't as tight as it used to be.
Not everybody can stay
as tiny and skinny as you.
Oh, I never had a kid, so...
Well, f***ing don't, okay?
Because, let me tell you,
once you do, that is it!
