Two-Bit Waltz Page #8

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!

OK.

OK.

Hello?

OK.

Jennifer.

OK.

Oh, God.

I can't think of a worthwhile

idea for my goddamn book,

Oh, God.

And I need a side from God.

Oh, God.

So I was hoping that

I could call you,

Oh, God.

And something you

said would spark

Oh, God.

A brilliant idea in my head.

Oh, God.

And then I would write it,

and everything would be OK,

Oh, God.

And it would be a great book.

Oh, God.

So tell me, tell

me, tell me things.

Oh, God.

What, you want some brilliant

f***ing earth-shattering idea?

Oh, God.

Make it about martians

and love, and don't

Oh, God.

Write like an a**hole.

Oh, God.

You'll do fine.

Oh, God.

What does that even mean?

Oh, God.

Have you given any

thought to what college

Oh, God.

You're going to yet?

Oh, God.

Jesus, have you been

talking to my mother?

Oh, God.

I have been calling

her to check up on you.

Oh, God.

Why don't you just call me?

Oh, God.

It's too stressful.

Oh, God.

Jenny, I...

Oh, God.

Now, your birthday is tomorrow.

Oh, God.

Are you aware of that?

Oh, God.

You need to decide what to do.

Oh, God.

You want to call me tomorrow?

Oh, God.

Maude, focus.

Oh, God.

Go find your mother,

and pick the f***ing

Oh, God.

School you like best.

Oh, God.

You just have to have a

five-minute conversation,

Oh, God.

And then you can go back to

writing your stupid f***ing

Oh, God.

Book.

Oh, God.

And I can go back to

studying and trying

Oh, God.

To earn my way into

college like a normal...

Oh, God.

Jenny, thank you.

Oh, God.

Seriously, you are a

world wonder genius.

Oh, God.

And now I'm going

to do something

Oh, God.

I've never done

before in my life

Oh, God.

And hang up on you,

because my brain is

Oh, God.

On fire with my next great work.

Oh, God.

So I love you.

Oh, God.

Call me tomorrow.

Oh, God.

Maude.

Oh, God.

OK.

Oh, God.

So it's love.

Oh, God.

Totally.

Oh, God.

And aliens.

Oh, God.

Totally.

Oh, God.

Like heartbreak.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Because he's an alien.

Oh, God.

Right.

Oh, God.

And she's a girl.

Oh, God.

Yes.

Oh, God.

And his tendencies are alien.

Oh, God.

Precisely.

Oh, God.

And he leaves.

Oh, God.

Gone.

Oh, God.

But she still loves him.

Oh, God.

Love.

Oh, God.

Heartbreak.

Oh, God.

Yes.

Oh, God.

Alien tendencies.

Oh, God.

Mm.

Oh, God.

Double meaning.

Oh, God.

Totally deep.

Oh, God.

You like it?

Oh, God.

Love it.

Oh, God.

Recap.

Oh, God.

Aliens... boy, girl.

Oh, God.

Boy is alien.

Oh, God.

Girl is human.

Oh, God.

He breaks heart.

Oh, God.

She is sad.

Oh, God.

Baked into a delicious

morsel that is the novel.

Oh, God.

Copy?

Oh, God.

Copy.

Oh, God.

Let's run with it.

Oh, God.

You guys, Maude has

an idea for her story.

Oh, God.

Woo-hoo!

Oh, God.

Yay!

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Hello?

Oh, God.

Mom?

Oh, God.

Bernie?

Oh, God.

Hello?

Oh, God.

Is anyone here?

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, my god.

Oh, God.

What?

Oh, God.

There was once a man who

didn't know where he came from,

Oh, God.

And he fell in love with a girl.

Oh, God.

When they met, she told

him that she liked him,

Oh, God.

And she thought it

was unfortunate.

Oh, God.

He asked her why,

and she told him

Oh, God.

It was because she didn't

like to meet new people.

Oh, God.

And then he knew that

he liked her too.

Oh, God.

He was very unhappy,

and he wore it well.

Oh, God.

And she was sweet, and

she liked that about him.

Oh, God.

He made her upset,

because he never worried.

Oh, God.

But she wanted him to be

happy, even if she wasn't.

Oh, God.

And so she put on a happy face.

Oh, God.

And they left the place that

they had once called home,

Oh, God.

In search of something that

they could call their very, very

Oh, God.

Own.

Oh, God.

They traveled for

a really long time

Oh, God.

And finally came to an

agreement and found a place

Oh, God.

To settle down.

Oh, God.

And soon the woman

was with child.

Oh, God.

What when it came

time for the child

Oh, God.

To be born, something changed.

Oh, God.

And then the men disappeared.

Oh, God.

And the baby was born.

Oh, God.

And the days got colder and the

nights got longer and the woman

Oh, God.

Got thinner.

Oh, God.

And the child was alone, because

the woman eventually laid down

Oh, God.

To die.

Oh, God.

And the man looked down on the

child from his home planet,

Oh, God.

Too sad to do anything.

Oh, God.

And the world

continued to run with

Oh, God.

Sad, bleak, gray existence.

Oh, God.

Never date a martian.

Oh, God.

The end.

Oh, God.

What do you think?

Oh, God.

What's happening?

Oh, God.

It's an idea.

Oh, God.

It's an idea for a story.

Oh, God.

What do you think?

Oh, God.

Do you think it's any good?

Oh, God.

Yes.

Oh, God.

Dad.

Oh, God.

Do you think love really exists?

Oh, God.

No.

Oh, God.

Right.

Oh, God.

Cool.

Oh, God.

You've done it.

Oh, God.

I've done it.

Oh, God.

Now write it.

Oh, God.

I'll right it.

Oh, God.

It's time.

Oh, God.

Oh, God, really?

Oh, God.

General consensus?

Oh, God.

I vote yes.

Oh, God.

That's one for yes.

Oh, God.

I also vote yes.

Oh, God.

That's two for yes.

Oh, God.

Maude?

Oh, God.

No.

Oh, God.

Two for yes, one for no.

Oh, God.

Now, for me, I vote yes.

Oh, God.

Recap.

Oh, God.

That's three for

yes, one for no.

Oh, God.

General consensus, yes.

Oh, God.

Majority rules, ie, you

write your book tonight.

Oh, God.

Tonight?

Oh, God.

Tonight.

Oh, God.

Tonight?

Oh, God.

Tonight.

Oh, God.

Tonight?

Oh, God.

Tonight.

Oh, God.

Tonight?

Oh, God.

Tonight is the night.

Oh, God.

I don't understand

what the problem is.

Oh, God.

There wasn't a problem.

Oh, God.

Isn't a problem.

Oh, God.

No, no, there wasn't a problem.

Oh, God.

I see.

Oh, God.

Yes.

Oh, God.

What happened then?

Oh, God.

I finished it.

Oh, God.

You finished it?

Oh, God.

I finished it.

Oh, God.

You finished it?

Oh, God.

Yes.

Oh, God.

The book?

Oh, God.

That's right.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

And then it was...

Oh, God.

Yes, and then it

was my first day.

Oh, God.

Uh-huh.

Oh, God.

Uh-huh.

Oh, God.

My birthday, yes.

Oh, God.

Hi.

Oh, God.

Hey.

Oh, God.

So.

Oh, God.

I finished it.

Oh, God.

I finished the book,

and it's great.

Oh, God.

And now you're sleeping in a

pile of your own self-loathing?

Oh, God.

Bernie, I finished it.

Oh, God.

What should we do to celebrate?

Oh, God.

It's your birthday.

Oh, God.

Oh no.

Oh, God.

Happy birthday, my

dearest dumpling.

Oh, God.

Thank you.

Oh, God.

Get dressed.

Oh, God.

Get dressed, get, dressed.

Oh, God.

We're already hoards upon

hoards amount of late.

Oh, God.

For what?

Oh, God.

The meeting.

Oh, God.

The meeting with

the lawyer, darling.

Oh, God.

The will.

Oh, God.

Oh.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.
