her back.

Well, look who's here.

- Hey, hey, what's all this?

- I'll take care of him.

We're gonna rape you.

Not me. I only f*** mud puddles.

I do it all the time.

No, don't look at me. You're not

gonna f*** me.

I got somebody who wants

to meet you.

Stop it! Stop it!

Go on, Chipper, put your pants back

and get outta here!

The next time you take youir pants off

for anybody, think of Franny.

Remember us.

It's enough, all of you!

Just go! Go!

Just get out!

What's the matter, Franny?

Didn't you like my play?

It's not that, Lilly.

He just meant so much to me

so many years.

At least I thought he did anyway.

It's all this dumb revenge stuff.

It's just...

It's just one big let down.

As far as I'm concerned, nothing

we could do to Chiper Dove

would be as awful as what

he did to you.

Just think of it this way, Franny.

It was a fairy tale.

You were lost in the woods and

then you suddenly find the way out.

Isn't that what growing

is all about?

That's it.

It's all over now.

Now there's a new ballgame.

But in a fairy tale when you think

you're outta the woods,

sometimes you're still in them.

Miss Berry, did you always dream

about writing a book?

Well, yes, that's all. And...

I'll get you a drink.

A dream...

is the disguises fulfillment

of a supressed wish.

What was one of your dreams?

When my mother was...

Do you know what my dream is?

But there's a difference between

you and me.

I'm gonna get over you, but you're

not gonna get over me.

Not without your help anyway.

...and I had the feeling it was

all fixed up.

Restored.

A brand new hotel.

And you owned it, I bet.

Two white wines.

You said that I can do anything,

didn't Frank?

You really wanna do it again?

You really wanna start

all over again?

- Do you realize you don't have to?

- What else would I do?

I love you. I'm sorry but I do.

I love you too.

Terribly.

One day we'll have to.

John-O, Lilly's out having

a literary lunch.

Get your ass over here, kid,

it's now or never.

You are a sweaty bitty.

Come on, take a shower.

Jesus God!

- Your balls are all wet.

- I dried myself.

- Yeah, but you missed your balls.

- What's wrong with wet balls?

Nothing to Kamasutra.

Well, that was okay. It wasn't great

but it was nice. Right?

- It was better than nice.

- Yeah?

Get ready for great.

Go away. Come back in an hour.

- Why?

- I'm writing something.

- No, you're not.

- I'm trying to grow.

Okay. Keep passing

the open windows.

I still want you.

Are you sore?

Of course I'm sore. But you better

not stop.

If you stop I'll kill you.

- Go away!

- Come back in an hour.

It's nine oclock. I've been away

for five hours.

- Go have dinner with Frank.

- I had lunch with Frank.

- That was a good one.

- Yes.

- Franny?

- Yes?

We have to stop. We're gonna

hurt each other.

No, my love, that's exactly what

we're not gonna do, hurt each other.

We're gonna be just fine.

- I can't.

- Yes, you can.

- I'm finished.

- No, almost finished.

We'll do it just once more, then

after that we'll both be finished.

Come on.

Bye, my love.

That's the end of it.

We're free. It's over.

What are you guys celebrating?

John just finished a long run.

And I wrote a whole novel.

It was truly terrible, but I just had

to write it, so I threw it away.

Piece of trash. There's only

one author in our family.

Here comes the rest

of our lives.

The rest of our lives is finally

coming up.

A toast.

- To the future.

- To the end of bears.

To love.

Doom.

'How shall I speak of doom

and ours in special,

but as something altogether

common.'

To passing the open windows.

Passing the open windows.

Father got his hotel. Franny got

her movie.

Lilly's second book

was published.

But life didn't become

any easier.

Lilly, the movie of your book's made

your sister more famous than you.

How do you feel about that?

Acting and writing are two

different professions,

and there's no way

to compare them.

Franny, is it true that you're

involved with a black law student?

Exscuse me. Don't you think

'Trying to Grow' has been a fluke?

Because after all your new book

has flopped with the critics...

That's a crock of sh*t,

you dumb a**hole!

All right, that's it, that's the end.

That's enough.

Thank you.

No. Thank you very much.

We all love you, Lilly.

Thanks a lot, that's all.

They are right, you know?

My new book was a let-down.

You listen to me.

You're a great writer

and you're not gonna let

those people affect you.

You're right back to work

and I'm gonna take care of you.

But it's harder to be a writer

than a star.

Stars don't have to be alone.

Hi, Frank here, but actually

I'm not here.

Actually I'm out.

Wanna leave a message? Wait

for the signal and talk your heart out.

Hi, it's me.

Goodbye, Frank.

But I'm always the f***ing agent.

I brought this about. I think

I was too hard on her.

I gave her too much sh*t to do.

You're my agent too. I need you

now more than ever.

Frank?

Frank, my boy.

Lilly just dreamed more

than she could.

She inherited than damn dreams

from me.

It was Lilly that pushed herself.

It didn't matter who her agent was.

No, John, but it was me,

it was me.

Come on, Susie.

She had little hands.

Her little hands,

I remember.

It's so quiet.

Did father know there were

no guests? We never knew.

'The good hotel... ', father used to

'... provide you with the space

and the atmosphere you need. '

I was still the only one in our family

who didn't know what I needed.

We need an animal around.

Maybe we should invite Susie.

Really.

New York City is such a terrible

place to be a bear.

Franny and I decided

not to save it any longer.

Otherwise there would be

nothing else enough to save.

- Wouldn't you mother've loved all this?

- Yes, she would, Pop.

Good night, Pop.

Not every minute, but at least

this part.

At least the end.

- Sleep well.

- Good night, Pop.

- Sleep well.

- Good night.

I bet you Franny and Junior have

some beautiful kids one day.

Have you ever wanted

to have a baby, Susie?

A baby?

I wouldn't bring an ugly child

into this world

for anything.

You're not ugly, Susie.

You're all so attractive,

all of you.

You don't know the treatment

the ugly get in this world.

Susie, you're full of sh*t.

Why don't you just f***ing

grow up?

Poor Susie.

Will we ever get the bear

out of you?

I just had to come,

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sweating like a pig

in this dumb suit.

Honey.

I look so awful, I don't dare

take it off.

It's going to be lighter soon, and then

you'll see how ugly I am.

I see you now and I think

you're beautiful.

You're going to have to work hard

to convince me.

What a beautiful morning.

I have some news for you, Pop.

Susie's gonna stay with us.

Isn't that perfect?

You couldn't have asked for

a better hotel, but we needed a bear.

Everybody does. That's what

we've been missing.

You're home free, John.

We're all home free.

You've written a happy ending.
