Women In Trouble
- You gonna do that all night?
- As long as it takes.
- They're gonna hang us
first thing tomorrow.
- lt's not tomorrow yet.
- You mean you still think
the real robbers
might come forward?
That's a one-in-a-million
chance, Sister.
- Well, that's still one chance.
- You ladies can't sleep,
or what?
- Capitan.
You got to listen to me.
We didn't steal them cows.
lt was Billy Ray and his posse.
- That's what you say.
- 'Cause it's true.
She's never done a bad thing
her whole life.
She-she's never lied
or drank or smoked.
- What else have you never done?
- l've never been to the rodeo.
- What else?
- l've never gone
skinny-dippin'.
Oh.
Think harder.
- He wants you to say
you've never been with a man.
- l won't!
- Good girl.
- 'Cause it ain't true.
- But l thought
you were a virgin.
- Are you kidding me?
l grew up on a ranch
with six brothers.
You get in here,
and l'll prove it.
- l guess l can't deny
a prisoner her last wish.
- Hmm.
- What about me?
Nuns have last wishes too.
- Sorry, Sister.
You gave yourself to Jesus.
- True.
But now He never calls.
Lose everything except
the boots, Captain,
because tonight we accommodate
every single one
of your perversions.
Mm.
Oh, sh*t.
That's me.
Sorry.
- So anyway,
like l was telling you before...
- Hello.
- Hi, this is Latisha
from Dr. Greenspan's office.
Am l catching you
at a bad time?
- No, no, no, Latisha.
Uh, tell me.
a word with you.
- Well, put him on.
- You need to come
into the office
so he can tell you in person.
- l see.
Now what?
Holly.
W- what are you doing sneaking
up behind my car like that?
- No, it's nothing.
lt's-uh, it's nothing.
l am-l'm fine.
- Come over here.
You sure you're okay?
a concussion.
- N-n-no, l always take
my contacts out
before sex, so...
But, hey, why are you leaving?
- lt's just, uh, l...
l can't talk about it.
l...
- l was just really
looking forward
to eating your p*ssy.
- That's sweet,
but l got to run.
- But l've been practicing.
You know,
l've gotten way better.
- Good to hear.
Careful with the car now.
Holly.
- That's as straight as it gets.
- l'm pregnant.
- lt happens.
- Nothing else
you need to tell me?
- Congratulations.
- You sure?
- Plain as day.
And don't drink or smoke.
Take good care of yourself.
- That's it?
You swear?
- You may want to stay
in the shade.
lt's a scorcher out today.
- How can l be pregnant?
- Are you a virgin?
- No.
- Then you can be pregnant.
- Nick, uh,
it's Elektra.
We need to talk.
Uh, will you call me back,
please?
lt's-it's really important.
All right.
Bye.
- Honey.
Ah, you're breaking up.
l can't-
Well, l only sound confused
because l find it confusing.
That's ridiculous.
lf she doesn't want to go,
why insist on her going?
Then who's fighting
Uh-huh, right.
Right.
But every daughter
has a strained relationship
with her mother.
Yes, they do.
Look at us with Mom.
Ugggh.
Okay.
You know what?
Your funeral.
She's gonna be in therapy
about this for years.
Guaranteed.
Different therapist,
that's all.
Honey, l know you're saying
something really mean
to me right now,
but l just can't hear you.
You're breaking up.
l can't hear-
Call-call-just call me back.
Call me back.
Do l always have to have
the last word?
l don't think so.
Do you, on the other hand,
always make everything
about yourself?
Uh.
- l'm stepping into an elevator,
so l might lose you.
l...
- Hello?
Doris? Do?
lt's hard to believe
your aunt and l
came out of the same womb.
You're not listening
to a word l'm saying,
are you, Charlotte?
- Ten years ago,
it was a privilege to have one.
Now it's a privilege
not to, huh?
You're kidding.
- Hi.
- Hi, Travis.
- Hi, Mr. McPherson.
- You know where to go.
She'll be right with you.
- l'll be back in an hour.
- Okeydokey.
- All right.
- l read your story.
- You didn't like it.
- l did.
You're a very promising writer.
Your vocabulary
is very impressive.
- But?
- No but.
- You didn't find it too...
dark?
- Wasn't that the whole point?
- l guess.
- l mean, you can see why
your mom would be worried
about it, can't you?
- lf she read anything other
than self-help books,
she might not have been
that shocked.
- Did she actually use
that word?
- She's worried
about the witch thing.
- Yeah.
So let's talk about that.
You think you're a witch?
- l'm not technically a witch,
but my grandmother was,
so l think
l inherited some of it.
- Like what?
- Like...
l can see ghosts.
- Give me an example.
- You mind if l smoke?
- Go ahead.
about sending
Caterpillar Girl away,
because l was at summer camp
when she had
the house exorcised.
- Your mom had the house
exorcised?
- She hired this spiritualist
to come and "cleanse the vibes"
or whatever,
and Caterpillar Girl
freaked out and left.
- And who is
this Caterpillar Girl?
- My friend.
She was a ghost.
Is a ghost.
Wherever she is.
She died 20 years ago.
This freak accident
at Rockerland.
She fell off this roller coaster
called the Caterpillar.
Her family sued the park,
and they shut it down.
You can look it up.
- And she lived in your house?
- My room was her room.
- And you're sure she's a ghost
and not an imaginary friend?
- Apples and oranges.
l really miss her.
- What's the difference
between a ghost
and an imaginary friend?
- lmaginary friends
you just make up.
You tell them what to do.
You can't do that with a ghost.
They show up, leave,
get bored, annoy you,
make you laugh.
- How do they annoy you?
- They move stuff around.
And they pull on your feet
when you sleep
and put your socks
in the fishbowl.
- What's that chain
you always wear?
- lt-it's Spanish.
lt's what l use
to hypnotize people.
Sometimes l see things,
stuff that's not the way
it should be.
But if l tell people about it,
they freak out.
lf l use this,
they tell themselves
they're under my spell
so that they can accept
what l say.
- Give me an example.
- You want me to hypnotize you?
- Let's give it a try.
- You're Addy-
my mom's therapist.
- Now l'm your therapist too,
right?
- All right.
Look straight into the amulet
and try not to think
about anything else.
Do you trust me?
- Mm-hmm.
Yep.
- Okay.
l want you to get up
and walk into
your husband's office.
Did you hear me?
But you won't do it.
- Sorry.
This isn't working.
- That's what you think.
- Why do you want me to go
into my husband's office?
- lt's not that l want you to.
l just...
in saying
what you think
people need to hear
that you can't see what's
right in front of your face.
- And what would that be?
- Your husband...
and my mom having an affair.
- Now, why would you say
a thing like that?
