The Banger Sisters Page #3

I just brought the kid home...

because she needed a ride...

and she did.

She needed a ride.

Suzette, I am not

without gratitude.

But that girl

is on the dean's list.

She's going to Vassar

in the fall.

She's the valedictorian...

of her graduating class.

I get it.

Don't worry.

I didn't tell her anything.

La-La-La-La-Lavinia.

Down.

Hannah. Hannah, wake up.

I need to talk with you.

Ginger!

This doesn't concern you. Out.

Close the door, please.

I want to sleep.

Well, you'll have plenty of time...

to sleep after this.

I'm going

to ask you something...

and I won't tolerate anything

but the truth.

Did you do drugs

at the prom last night?

What are you talking about?

Did you do drugs?

Answer me honestly.

I had wine.

I stupidly had 2 kinds...

red and white...

and the mixture

makes you sick.

I didn't even know that

till after.

And that's all?

That was enough.

I'm a guest

of Harry Plummer.

He gave me his key... 419.

Mr. Plummer has changed rooms.

He's now in room 1007.

Thank you.

Harry?

Hi. They cleaned up the vomit...

but I had to move.

Of course you did.

Oh, I'm so hungry.

I just got to eat something.

Here. You want one?

You should

have something substantial, Suzette.

Let me

order up some breakfast.

No. I'm not staying.

I'm going to change my clothes.

Then I'm going to take off.

Oh. I've drawn you a bath.

You've drawn me a bath?

Mm-hmm.

You didn't even know...

when I was going to be here.

I've been letting it out

and adding hot.

I'm not in the same mood

I was in yesterday, Harry.

No, no, no. Sure.

It's just that it's been...

a hell of a long night,

you know.

When are you going

to shoot your father?

Not today. It's Sunday.

Harry?

What?

Come on in.

Aren't you naked?

Just come on in.

I want to talk.

Yes?

Sit down.

Oh, man.

I was like a blemish

in her prissy little world.

You should have

seen that place, Harry.

Even the kids have a wing.

And there's Vin...

going around

like a princess...

and the pool's all going.

Ahh. She had her nose

f***ed with, too.

I didn't say anything

to her, but...

I don't know.

It was definitely...

not her nose, Harry.

Man, she is in dreamland.

And then she looks at me...

like I'm some kind

of voodoo ghost...

from her past, you know...

Scared to death

I'm going to, like...

blow her cover.

She offered me money...

to disappear, Harry.

I didn't take it.

I wouldn't touch it

with a 10-foot pole.

At least you have integrity.

Yeah. Integrity...

and I'm broke.

Oh! Ooh!

Ptoo! I got something...

You want water?

No, don't dote on me, Harry.

Actually,

I do want some water, please.

Who the hell

knows I'm here?

I don't know.

The hotel, for a start.

Answer the phone, Harry.

Hello? Yes.

Uh, yes.

No. Sure.

Please come up.

Room 1007.

Who was that?

Lavinia.

What?!

She said

she needs to see you.

Oh, my God!

After all I told you...

you think I want her

coming up here?

I just followed my instincts,

Suzette.

You're not

following your instincts...

you're following hers!

She manipulates people!

I hate you right now, Harry!

Oh, God.

Lavinia Kingsley.

Harry Plummer.

Suzette's

just wiping herself...

drying herself off.

She had a bath.

Oh.

I don't want to interrupt...

something.

No, no, no. Please

come in, Mrs. Kingsley.

Thank you, Mr. Plummer.

I'll just be 2 seconds, really...

You better be here

to apologize...

because you treated me

like the scum of the earth...

and if you think

those flowers are going...

to make me feel better,

you're sadly mistaken.

I'm going to smoke,

Harry. Endure it.

You have every right

to be offended...

and I do apologize.

That is why I am here.

Will you join me for lunch...

tomorrow afternoon?

And what will happen

at lunch, Lavinia?

Well, I would like

the opportunity...

to explain to you why

I'm no longer the person...

that I was years ago...

how I've changed... for

the better, I think...

and the direction that

my life has gone in.

For instance,

I'm very much involved...

in charity work...

and there's actually

a tree planted...

near city hall

with my name on it...

right here in Phoenix...

Phoenix being

the mythical bird...

that rose from the ashes...

I, too,

have become someone...

that you don't know, Suzette.

And I would

like the opportunity...

to introduce myself to you.

People do change, Suzette.

Not that it's been easy.

It hasn't been.

But I could not

be the person that I was...

because the person that I was...

is not the person that I am.

Vinnie, stop, OK?

'Cause you're going...

right up your own a**hole...

and I don't feel

like following.

I know what

she means, though.

Why, thank you.

Harry, enough.

Vinnie,

I'm not ashamed of my past.

At least I'm not

walking around...

in some Lance Robe and slippers...

pretending that

it never happened.

My husband is a lawyer!

Oh, yeah? What are you

going to do, sue me?

Could you just

let me finish, please?

And he aspires

to a career in politics.

Hey. The first lady

of the land...

is going to be a Banger Sister?

I am not a Banger Sister!

Look, I am a mother...

and I am a very good mother.

Hannah told me everything...

about what happened

at the prom.

She told me

that she drank...

red and white wine,

and the combination...

of the two made her queasy.

Queasy?

She was really out of it...

Mrs. Kingsley.

Wasn't she, Suzette?

Oh, I don't think so, Harry.

She would have

told her mother everything.

So, what time's lunch?

I beg your pardon?

Yeah.

We're going to lunch.

You said.

Oh.

Yeah, but I have just...

said everything

that I planned...

to say at lunch.

You know,

where I come from, Lavinia...

which, granted,

is a hellhole...

in West Hollywood...

The people go on and on and on

and on about themselves...

all day long.

They at least

have the decency...

to ask the other person...

"So, what's new with you?"

Noon, in the lobby?

Look, Suzette,

I am not self-indulgent.

I may be a lot of things...

but that is one thing

that I am not.

Then why are you still

talking about yourself?

And by the way,

how did you know...

what room I was staying in?

Oh, I described you

to the clerk at the desk.

Ugh! "I described you

to the clerk at the desk."

I got to get some drinks in here...

and get her mojo going, man.

But first, I got to crash.

Oh, I'm so tired.

Oh, yeah. This is good.

Harry?

What did he do to you...

your father...

to make you

love him so much?

He put a kind

of curse on me.

How'd he do that?

We had a family business...

selling furniture.

I hated it.

I wanted to be a writer.

He hated that.

"Go ahead," he said.

"Everything you touch...

is going to turn to sh*t.

You'll look back someday...

and there'll be nothing

to look at."

Well, you took off anyway, see?

I like that.

And then you blew

into Hollywood?

Yeah.

It was great.

The whole world

wanted a piece of me.

You know, everybody

was jumping into bed...

with everybody
