Two-Bit Waltz Page #9

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!

feel about modern cars.

Oh, God.

You forgot, didn't you?

Oh, God.

What do I do?

Oh, God.

What sounds smart?

Oh, God.

I mean...

Oh, God.

Join an Ivy League.

Oh, God.

They're all basically the same.

Oh, God.

What's an Ivy League?

Oh, God.

Bernie.

Oh, God.

It'll be fine.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

You're f***ed.

Oh, God.

You want toast?

Oh, God.

I assume the meeting

did not go well.

Oh, God.

When you assume, you...

Oh, God.

It did not go well.

Oh, God.

Well, no.

Oh, God.

I see.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

For unpleasant

circumstances are often

Oh, God.

The orb from which

the idea may brew.

Oh, God.

I think you're

thinking of a Crock-Pot.

Oh, God.

Blackjack.

Oh, God.

Nice.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

Well, we're here.

Oh, God.

Well, it is a pleasure

to see you all again.

Oh, God.

And I assume this is Carl.

Oh, God.

No.

Oh, God.

Oh, all right then.

Oh, God.

Uh, well, Maude.

Oh, God.

First of all, happy birthday.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Thanks.

Oh, God.

And, uh, before we proceed, I

thought a small birthday gift

Oh, God.

Might be in order.

Oh, God.

"To Jeremy."

Oh, God.

My nephew didn't want it.

Oh, God.

Right.

Oh, God.

So, um, let's, uh...

let's begin, shall we?

Oh, God.

What's that?

Oh, God.

Oh, this is just for my records.

Oh, God.

You know, to make sure that her

wishes are honored properly.

Oh, God.

It's, you know, in case

of an investigation.

Oh, God.

Standard procedure.

Oh, God.

It's boring stuff.

Oh, God.

Right.

Oh, God.

So tell me, what college

did you like the most?

Oh, God.

No.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry?

Oh, God.

I don't know.

Oh, God.

Maude, darling,

what are you doing?

Oh, God.

I didn't like any

of the brochures.

Oh, God.

I didn't like any of them.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

Oh, God.

Maude, don't do this right now.

Oh, God.

This isn't a time for jokes.

Oh, God.

Just tell him what you intend.

Oh, God.

I don't intend anything.

Oh, God.

I looked at all the brochures.

Oh, God.

I don't like them.

Oh, God.

I don't like anything.

Oh, God.

But that's ridiculous, darling.

Oh, God.

You have hobbies.

Oh, God.

Just tell him your

hobbies, for Christ's sake.

Oh, God.

Death.

Oh, God.

She's kidding.

Oh, God.

Darling, what are

your interests?

Oh, God.

Suicide.

Oh, God.

Since when?

Oh, God.

I don't know.

Oh, God.

Just now, I guess.

Oh, God.

Maude, for heaven's sake,

just tell the nice lawyer

Oh, God.

Which college you want to go

to, and let's get out of here.

Oh, God.

I don't want to go to college.

Oh, God.

I don't want the money.

Oh, God.

Give it to the f***ing dogs.

Oh, God.

Well, uh, there's still

the matter of this trinket.

Oh, God.

Carl, you go on ahead.

Oh, God.

We'll catch up.

Oh, God.

I need new shoe...

Oh, God.

Carl.

Oh, God.

You're angry.

Oh, God.

You can't smoke in here.

Oh, God.

Yes.

Oh, God.

I'm sorry.

Oh, God.

You're sorry, are you?

Oh, God.

Yes, I'm sorry.

Oh, God.

But I think giving me

two weeks to decide

Oh, God.

What I wanted to do

with the rest of my life

Oh, God.

Is an incredible amount

of undeserved pressure.

Oh, God.

Well, it wasn't

my decision, Maude.

Oh, God.

It was your grandmother's.

Oh, God.

And you didn't

have to decide what

Oh, God.

You wanted to do with your life.

Oh, God.

You simply had to

present yourself

Oh, God.

As a young woman

who was not insane,

Oh, God.

And somehow you didn't

manage to do that.

Oh, God.

Well, I couldn't

foresee myself sitting

Oh, God.

At a desk for

another four years,

Oh, God.

And I'm sorry about that.

Oh, God.

You didn't even try.

Oh, God.

Well, I was busy.

Oh, God.

I wrote a book, and now

I have nothing to do.

Oh, God.

Again with this

"nothing to do."

Oh, God.

I am trying to help

you create your future.

Oh, God.

You had a grossly extravagant

opportunity in there,

Oh, God.

Which you decided

to sh*t all over.

Oh, God.

Why can't you be

more like Jenny?

Oh, God.

That girl was positively

vomiting bright future.

Oh, God.

I know, and it was

incredibly annoying.

Oh, God.

Not if you were her mother.

Oh, God.

Well, I wasn't her mother.

Oh, God.

There's an idea.

Oh, God.

Why did you get pregnant?

Oh, God.

Do something constructive

with your life,

Oh, God.

Even if it is misinformed.

Oh, God.

Go away.

Oh, God.

I cannot talk to you

about this anymore.

Oh, God.

Fine.

Oh, God.

And I want you to know that,

though I am incredibly upset,

Oh, God.

I still love you.

Oh, God.

Well, I think you're a cunty

slut whore, and I hate you.

Oh, God.

Well, I think you're an

ungrateful little child,

Oh, God.

And I...

Oh, God.

Bad fight you had there, huh?

Oh, God.

Yep.

Oh, God.

Sh*t on by the only woman

who ever really loved me.

Oh, God.

And you say you're 18.

Oh, God.

So your life is

really f***ed up.

Oh, God.

Well, it's not f***ed up.

Oh, God.

It's just...

Oh, God.

No, no, no.

Oh, God.

Your life... it's... it's a mess.

Oh, God.

It's a mess.

Oh, God.

Let me... let me

tell you something.

Oh, God.

What I... what I saw in that

meeting... it is going nowhere.

Oh, God.

I mean, I could

barely stay awake

Oh, God.

Through that whole meeting.

Oh, God.

But, I mean, I seemed

pretty aware, right?

Oh, God.

I seemed pretty...

pretty on the ball?

Oh, God.

I guess.

Oh, God.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh, God.

Well, there was a pair

of scissors in my leg

Oh, God.

The whole time.

Oh, God.

Wow.

Oh, God.

Yeah, but, I mean, you

couldn't notice that, right?

Oh, God.

No.

Oh, God.

Mhm.

Oh, God.

Mhm.

Oh, God.

You know what, kiddo?

Oh, God.

What?

Oh, God.

You know what?

Oh, God.

What?

Oh, God.

You know what?

Oh, God.

What?

Oh, God.

You remind me of someone that I

knew when I was your age... you.

Oh, God.

You mean me?

Oh, God.

Me.

Oh, God.

I see me in you.

Oh, God.

Oh.

Oh, God.

You see?

Oh, God.

And let me tell you something.

Oh, God.

When I was your age,

if I had $5 million,

Oh, God.

I wouldn't end up in

a place like this,

Oh, God.

I'll tell ya that right now.

Oh, God.

Oh, um, here.

Oh, God.

I want to... I want to

give you something else.

Oh, God.

Here.

Oh, God.

Go ahead.

Oh, God.

So... so tell me.

Oh, God.

What do you really want to do?

Oh, God.

I mean, really.

Oh, God.

I wrote a book.

Oh, God.

Uh-huh?

Oh, God.

I wrote a book,

and now it's done.

Oh, God.

You wrote a book,

and now it's done.

Oh, God.

Precisely.

Oh, God.

Hm.

Oh, God.

What do you want to do now?

Oh, God.

Become a lawyer, I guess.

Oh, God.

"Become a lawyer, I guess."

Oh, God.

Well, let me tell you something.

Oh, God.

What?

Oh, God.

You got talent.

Oh, God.

Thanks.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

You got talent.

Oh, God.

I can tell that.

Oh, God.

You got talent.

Oh, God.

You believe me?

Oh, God.

Sure.

Oh, God.

You believe me?

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

Yeah.

Oh, God.

But you're also, unfortunately,
