Very Good Girls
- I can't do it.
- No, you can. The question is will you?
This is no great illusion
When I'm with you
I'm looking for a ghost
Or invisible reasons
To fall out of love and run
screaming from our home
'Cause we live in a house of mirrors
We see our fears and
everything's our songs
Faces and second-hand clothes
But more and more we're suffering
Not nobody, not a thousand beers
Will keep us from
feeling so all alone
But you are what you love
And not what loves you back
That's why I'm here on your doorstep
Pleading for you to take me back
Is that a good one?
What the hell was that?
Flock of these.
Very funny.
You are what you love
Look at that guy. Slut Speedo.
Cold water makes them shrivel up.
How would you know?
We're really going to do this?
You can wuss up but I'll
be 20 bucks richer.
You're just gonna take it off right
here, with everyone looking?
That was the idea.
Yeah.
I can't do it.
Yeah, you can.
The question is will you?
Oh, no.
You think because your eyes are
closed no one can see you?
Screw you.
Get in.
I can't swim!
- Yes, you can.
- No, I can't.
I don't like waves. I hate waves.
And you just remembered this?
Oh, no.
You're naked!
I know!
We just came over to tell you
you have the best ass on this beach.
What means this?
You French?
We are Romania. No English.
Nice.
- Wanna go for a walk?
- Mm-mm.
Mm-mm.
She can use her tongue,
though, right?
- Mm-mm.
- Where you going? Come on.
I'm doing it.
Look, mom.
You didn't want to stay and see what
your special prize was going to be?
You mean my really
special gang rape?
Oh...
Hey, what's the matter with you?
How about "I'm sorry,"
"excuse me" or something?
You can use your tongue.
Can't you?
Sorry.
You're selling ice cream.
Yeah, amazing powers of observation.
Can I have one?
Which one?
What's good?
Uh, they're all sh*t.
Recycled industrial waste.
The red, white, and blue, please.
That camera yours?
No.
You don't have to be such a dick.
She's just trying to be nice.
Let's go.
Thank you.
Your mouth is so blue.
I think someone hurt him.
That makes it okay for
him to be an a**hole?
Oh, come on.
You liked him, too.
Hey.
Lilly.
Jesus Christ.
Hey, what time is it?
Uh, I don't know.
Maybe, like, 6:
00?Sh*t.
I hope Norma's still
with a patient.
Good luck. I'm going to take
my award-winning ass home.
Okay.
Please don't do that.
Return my bike.
Lillian, where have you been?
I told you this morning,
brighten beach.
You took it all the way to Rockaway?
All the way to Rockaway.
Okay, if you knew you
were going to be this late,
- you could've had the courtesy to call.
- My phone died.
Joy would like to spend some
time with her family, too.
- Well, dad's still in the office.
- That is beside the point.
You need to eat something
besides noodles.
I don't like fish.
It's disgusting.
- It's your dinner.
- My disgusting dinner.
You know what?
That's enough.
- Joy?
- Yeah.
Why don't you go home to your family,
and the girls will clean up.
Lillian, please go tell your father
that we are going to be
late for the concert.
He can't still be with a patient.
You stay there and eat some protein.
And take your shoes off.
You're tracking sand
all over the house.
Did you tell him?
He was with someone.
What is wrong with you?
Edward, please go get changed.
We're going to be late.
It starts at 8:
00.Okay, I'm going.
Uh...
Sorry, I'm...
Edward, come on.
We're going to be late.
Coming.
Al Franken.
Al Franken is a God damn comic.
He's good, but what's the
name of that show he was on?
And she's the best civil
rights attorney in New York.
What is she going to do, go to
Wisconsin and work for some guy
who's on comedy central?
NBC. SNL is on NBC.
Jon Stewart's on comedy central.
Thank you so much for that critically
important piece of information.
Hey, get your ta-tas all
sun burnt at the beach?
Ta-tas. Really?
That's cute.
You told him?
No. You know you're
an a**hole, right?
How about we change the subject?
Sure, we could talk
about politics again.
Well, we could talk about
your two favorite subjects...
television and body parts.
- A**hole.
- That's a body part.
He's 16.
What's your excuse?
Karl, come on.
So how's that
tour-guide thing going?
My boss is a perv, and I
have to wear a uniform.
Well you have a straight shot
into the masonic lodges
of the United States.
That's true political power.
So when do you head out for school?
Oh, that's right. Yale.
Whiffenpoofs.
An Ivy-covered thing...
Lay off her, dad.
Orientation is the first
week in September.
They're not telling you you have
to change your orientation.
I said stop it.
She doesn't come from a family where
you have to train for dinner.
What's the point of dinner then?
Okay, great, you guys
enjoy your meal.
Let's go.
You just walked in on your father
boning some random patient,
and you don't know
what you're upset for?
Does your mom know?
- Are you going to tell her?
- Are you crazy?
Everybody okay out here?
Dad, go away.
Your parents screw around.
I think they just
talk about it a lot.
I can't believe that you
were talking about sex.
Well, apparently in my house you
You just do it.
We're the last ones.
On earth?
At Erasmus, at St. Anne's.
That's basically the same thing.
We're going to f***ing college,
and we're still virgins.
We've got to get over this hump.
You didn't say that.
Persons of the male
gender are required.
Out the windows to
your right and left
are the air ducts to
the Holland tunnel,
and if you smell roasting coffee,
that's because general foods
built their coffee processing
plant in Hoboken in 1846.
There are some people who say
you can still smell the coffee
from the other side of the river
even though the plant
closed in 1992.
You're probably ready for an
This is the end of our tour.
Gratuities are appreciated.
Please be careful
getting of the boat,
and enjoy the rest of your
visit to the big apple.
- Hey, girl.
- Hi.
Norma? Don't you ever
have to call home?
Only when I need bail money.
Sh*t, I forgot to tell you
what happened last night.
So I... God, I went out to
dinner with Danny and Kate.
This, like, obscure Italian
place in the village,
and the waiter turned out to be him.
Who's that?
Um, the ice-cream guy on the beach.
His name's David, David Avery.
You just ran into him?
Not exactly.
What do you mean?
He had a book of matches
from Grotta Azzurra next to his
camera at the beach that day.
I can't believe you dragged
your parents to a restaurant
because you saw a book of matches.
Okay, you don't have to
make me feel bad about it.
I'm not. I'm just...
it's like...
Didn't you have something
you wanted to tell me?
Uh, Fitzsimmons.
He came on to you again?
No, he... he just wants
me to give a tour
to a boat load of FBI agents.
Danny's going to love that.
