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.

- Maybe it's Jesus calling.

- 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.

- Your blood tests are done,

and the doctor would like

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?

l think maybe you have

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

the losing battle here?

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?

No doubt about it.

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.

- Addy feels really guilty

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...

l think you're so caught up

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?
