The Banger Sisters Page #8

Synopsis: In West Hollywood, Suzette, now on the far side of middle age, has always been a party girl, leading a life solely for the here and now. When the here and now leads to her without a job, no money and thus no sense of whether her partying life has gotten her anywhere, she decides to go into her distant past to visit in Phoenix an old friend, Vinnie, who she has not seen or talked to in twenty years. In their shared past, Suzette and Vinnie were Los Angeles groupies coined the Banger Sisters for their penchant to sleep with any and all rock musicians who came through Southern California. Suzette does know however that Vinnie's life has changed, she married to Raymond, a lawyer who has political aspirations, the two who have two teenaged daughters. It is in part the reason she decides to visit now well off Vinnie, to see if she will lend her some money. Suzette reconsiders when she finds out just how far Vinnie has changed.

You, too.

Come on. Come on...

come on.

Put your shoes on, honey.

Yeah. Wait. Wait.

Where are you going? Come on.

Come on. You got it? Good.

How about the other one?

You look great.

I hate feeling fake...

more than anything

in the world.

You wouldn't believe

what people tell you...

"You got to get into college.

You got to figure out...

what you're gonna do.

You got to make money."

And we're going...

"My God, I feel like

I'm still a kid practically."

But your teachers and your parents

and everybody's got...

everything all planned out

for you with high expectations.

But what if it has

nothing to do with you?

You lose track of yourself.

And that's fake.

We're going into the future.

And I only have little clues

as to what might be out there.

Sometimes,

I'm scared to death.

Sometimes,

I'm really excited.

And I just wish for

everybody in my class...

no, for everybody...

That whatever you do...

you do it true...

even if you mess up...

even if you fail.

I'd rather fail

doing my own thing...

doing what I want to do...

than doing what somebody else

wants me to do and succeeding.

I'd rather be fighting

with my family...

than... pretending it's all OK.

To the graduating class

of 2002... go.

Go into the world

and do it true.

Do it true.

Woo!

Honey, you rocked.

Now we're gonna

go back to the house.

And why don't you follow

us in your car, OK?

No. I'm gonna take off.

Yeah, I got stuff to do.

But I've got to give you

back your clothes.

That's all right.

Hold onto them.

It'll give me an excuse

to see you again.

You don't need an excuse.

We had a blast.

Yeah.

Mom! Oh, my God, you guys.

What?

I am so in love.

Who? With who?

Shh. He's right...

He's right there.

Wait, wait, wait.

Not him, not him.

There he is. That's him.

Musicians.

Yeah.

Hey, Suzette.

Yeah?

Do you want to hear a story

that I've been writing?

Yeah. Tell.

Well, it's about this guy...

who's complicated...

and he meets

this woman who's...

she's...

Harry, skip to the end.

What happens to them?

I don't know.

I haven't figured that out yet.

Oh.

She's a hand-job giver.

Oh, Harry!

And she's great at it.
