Two-Bit Waltz Page #6

Synopsis: In the wonderfully dysfunctional tradition of The Royal Tenenbaums, teenage years are always messy... but for Maude, things couldn't seem more tragic. Within one week just prior to her 18th birthday, she is suspended from school, stranded by her best friend, dumped by the boy she "loves", and Granny just died leaving her an enormous amount of money under one condition: Maude must go to college which she does not want to do and her wildly eccentric family is no help at all. Of course... It's a comedy!

What?

Yes, absolutely.

What?

OK.

What?

So when does she leave?

What?

Tonight.

What?

OK.

What?

Um, that's still a

lot of time, though.

What?

And...

What?

What?

Use a lot of it with her, OK?

What?

Please?

What?

You can do this.

What?

It'll be fine.

What?

Stop crying and... I'm

sorry I let you smoke.

What?

I shouldn't have done that.

What?

You shouldn't smoke.

What?

Don't smoke.

What?

I'm not crying.

What?

In, out.

What?

In and out.

What?

You should come out here

and make those noises

What?

Every single day.

What?

You'll live longer.

What?

Look at me.

What?

Anyway, darling, I think

you're doing enormously well.

What?

If my best friend were

leaving this evening,

What?

I'd be a total wreck.

What?

I so admire your

ability to be alone.

What?

And she's really your

only friend, isn't she?

What?

I tell you, if that were

me, I would just give up.

What?

I would just positively give up.

What?

Will you call me every day?

What?

No.

What?

I'll think about you

every minute of every hour.

What?

I know.

What?

You are the best and truest

friend a girl has ever had.

What?

Don't sleep with that boy again.

What?

Why would I ever do that?

What?

Because I am the only good

influence in your life.

What?

I love you too.

What?

What?

"She watched the car

go, tears in her eyes,

What?

As she wondered what had become

of that happy-go-lucky girl she

What?

Once saw in the mirror.

What?

Now simply a..."

What?

What?

"Now simply a ghost in the..."

"Now simply a... " Jesus.

What?

Do you know what?

What?

That's just rude, all right?

What?

Come on.

What?

Jenny!

What?

Will you come back and

help me clear my head?

What?

F***.

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

You felt alone.

What?

What about if I became

an excellent juggler?

What?

You felt alone.

What?

Or, like, an excellent surfer.

What?

You felt alone.

What?

I always feel alone.

What?

You mentioned

something about a boy?

What?

About a boy.

What?

Yes.

What?

The one Jenny...

What?

Told me not to sleep with again.

What?

And you...

What?

I had self-respect once, but I

put it in the ironing cupboard,

What?

And it never seemed

to turn up again.

What?

It's incredibly annoying

when you talk like that.

What?

That's not very nice.

What?

Showtime.

What?

Here, there are, like, a

million brochures for you

What?

In the hallway.

What?

Where are you going?

What?

Out.

What?

Where?

What?

To get some popcorn.

What?

And fall into the arms of

the one who mistreats you?

What?

He's my beloved.

What?

I thought he had more dignity.

What?

Says the kid who never

leaves his room except

What?

To get more napkins and lotion.

What?

I'm a pubescent child.

What?

It's called "self-discovery."

What?

And what do you

call what I'm doing?

What?

"Soul-sucking denial."

What?

Oh.

What?

Go back to masturbating.

What?

This conversation

is the insufferable.

What?

Fine.

What?

I'll be back here to pick up

the pieces when you return.

What?

Fine.

What?

I love you, sis.

What?

Love you, too, other sis.

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

Hi.

What?

Hi.

What?

I missed you.

What?

Did you?

What?

Yeah, like, when... before,

when we were hanging out, like,

What?

Before you went away, I

never got to properly, well,

What?

Thank you for having sex

with me all those times.

What?

Sir, it was a pleasure.

What?

I mean, I love

having sex with you.

What?

That's the nicest thing

you've ever said to me.

What?

You want to do

something tonight?

What?

Like a date?

What?

Sure.

What?

Sure.

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

How'd it go?

What?

Excellent.

What?

How'd it go with you?

What?

Excellent.

What?

Gross.

What?

You asked.

What?

I know.

What?

Gross.

What?

Gross.

What?

He asked me on a date.

What?

Oh, Christ.

What?

He asked me on a date.

What?

You discuss me right now.

What?

Bernie, Bernard, little

Bertram, I swear to God he did.

What?

If I were you, I would

focus less on imaginary dates

What?

With boys and more on the

discussing amounts of money

What?

You are going to

lose to a dog rescue

What?

If you do not pick

a school to go to.

What?

How come Mom never tells

me your secrets, huh?

What?

She likes me better.

What?

Mom likes you better.

What?

Grandma liked you better.

What?

Everyone likes me better.

What?

Fine.

What?

Anyway, it's not an

imaginary date with the boy.

What?

It is a real date with a boy.

What?

That wasn't what

you were supposed

What?

To take away from that comment.

What?

Bernie, what about

this for an idea?

What?

Maybe for the book.

What?

I'm not sure.

What?

I am the princess of an alien

people called the Quoppians.

What?

And I am engaged to be

married to this other guy

What?

Of another alien people

called the Termidittens.

What?

And there's all

this pressure coming

What?

From my friends and my

family to marry this guy.

What?

But I fall in love

with my lady's maid.

What?

And we fight for what we

believe in, and it's all OK,

What?

And we live happily ever after.

What?

What do you think?

What?

So in your wildest

fantasy, you're a lesbian?

What?

Do you think it would

make a good novel?

What?

Because I...

What?

Can I borrow $5?

What?

Sure.

What?

What?

I'm gonna look amazing.

What?

Your insecurity is

What?

Gonna make some

Weimaraner very happy.

What?

Also, your hat's disgusting.

What?

The hat... no.

What?

So this boy.

What?

Yes.

What?

You're having casual

sex with this boy.

What?

No.

What?

We're in love.

What?

No.

What?

You're pathetic.

What?

No, I'm in love.

What?

No, you're path...

What?

Hey.

What?

You're not supposed to

say stuff like that to me.

What?

If I want tough

love, I can buy it.

What?

That is

essentially what this is.

What?

Damn it.

What?

You can't smoke in here.

What?

OK, after careful consideration,

What?

I have decided you are right.

What?

Though my memories of

said tryst are fond,

What?

I was being used...

raped, some might say.

What?

No one would say that.

What?

Fine.

What?

Anyway, I'm not

seeing him anymore.

What?

Obviously.

What?

No.

What?

I mean, it fell

through in the end.

What?

Yes.

What?

Would you like me to continue?

What?

Yes.

What?

Where was I?

What?

Don't say stuff like that.

What?

Why?

What?

You know exactly where you were.

What?

What?

What?

Wow.

What?

Yes?

What?

You look large.

What?

Thank you.

What?

Well, you're encompassed by fur.

What?

Right.

What?

So I was thinking

we go for a walk.

What?

Cool.

What?

You're so normal.

What?

I'm sorry.

What?

Did you just say I'm so normal?

What?

Well, yeah, you know.

What?

Like, ordinary.

What?

No, no, I mean, I

know what normal means.

What?

I just... like, you

don't think I'm

What?

Cool or funny or

weird or anything?

What?

I mean, you're

pretty normal, stable.
