SIT UP STRAIGHT
WITH YOUR FEET ON THE FLOOR
AND EXPAND YOUR BACK.
THE FIRST THING YOU NEED TO DO
IS TO FEEL THE EARTH'S POWER UNDER YOUR FEET,
AND THEN YOUR SEAT.
FEEL HOW YOU'RE SITTING,
AND THEN YOUR BACK.
KEEP YOUR NECK RELAXED, YOUR SHOULDERS DOWN,
AND WITHOUT FORCING ANYTHING,
FEEL THE CROWN OF YOUR HEAD
REACHING FOR THE SKY.
AND NOW OBSERVE YOUR BREATH.
WATCH YOUR BREATH AS THOUGH YOU'RE WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE.
THEN WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS
AS THOUGH YOU'RE WATCHING SOMEONE ELSE.
AND DON'T CHASE AWAY ANY IMAGES THAT COME TO YOU.
JUST WATCH THEM.
NO, NO!
WHAT? WHAT?
BARRY, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
BUT, BARRY--BARRY, YOU OWE ME $38,000.
BARRY--BARRY, YOU PROMISED ME THAT MONEY.
WELL, THANK YOU, BARRY.
GOODBYE, BARRY.
WHAT DID BARRY SAY?
BARRY WAS FIRED.
WOW. THAT'S TOO BAD.
I LIKE BARRY.
[BEEP]
[SOUND OF TOILET FLUSHING]
KATHERINE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
KATHERINE, YOU'RE ERASING ALL THE FILES.
WAIT! WE HAVEN'T BACKED UP ANY OF THESE FILES YET.
KATHERINE, YOU'RE DESTROYING ALL YOUR WORK.
THE BANK DOESN'T NEED 100,000 BROCHURES
BECAUSE THE BANK DOESN'T EXIST ANYMORE.
THE BANK DOESN'T EXIST
BECAUSE TOO MANY OF ITS REAL ESTATE LOANS WENT BAD.
ITS REAL ESTATE LOANS WENT BAD BECAUSE IT MADE LOANS FOR SHOPPING CENTERS
THAT CAN'T FIND ENOUGH TENANTS.
THEY CAN'T FIND TENANTS BECAUSE THERE ARE TOO MANY SHOPPING CENTERS.
THERE ARE TOO MANY SHOPPING CENTERS
BECAUSE A LOT OF GREEDY FUCKS GOT LOANS FROM CORRUPT BANKS.
[SOUND OF DUCKS QUACKING]
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I'M GOING SHOPPING.
DAD--
DID I ASK FOR YOUR OPINION YET?
CAROL?
UH, IT'S...O.K.
HILLY?
NO. DOESN'T WORK.
YOU DON'T THINK SO, OR PETER DOESN'T THINK SO?
DAD, IT'S VERY, UM, HOW DO I SAY THIS POLITELY?
IT'S WORKING A LITTLE TOO HARD.
SAY IT.
WELL, YOU LOOK LIKE THE OWNER OF A DEL TACO FRANCHISE,
LIVES IN PALM SPRINGS,
GOES TO STORES FOR GUYS WHO CRUISE THE DISCO
AT THE HOLIDAY INN,
GOT TALKED INTO BUYING SOMETHING A LITTLE TOO SLICK,
BUT IF YOU LIKE IT, BUY IT.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? IT LOOKS GREAT.
ON ME.
IT REALLY DOES.
WHAT'S THE DAMAGE?
925.
IT'S A DEAL.
HILLY, DO YOU HAVE A BOYFRIEND?
I HAVE A FINACá.
ISN'T THAT ROMANTIC.
DO ME A SERVICE. ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
HOW ARE YOUR MORALS?
DAD.
I'M WORKING ON THEM.
GOOD ANSWER.
ISN'T CAROL BEAUTIFUL?
YEAH, IN A QUICK-TRIP-TO-ACAPULCO KIND OF WAY.
ACAPULCO? PALM SPRINGS.
PETER, CAN I SPEAK TO YOU A MINUTE?
YOUR CARD'S BEEN DECLINED.
A COLLECT CALL FROM REALITY.
YOU KNOW WHAT I SAY TO REALITY?
I SAY REVERSE THE CHARGES.
NO, PETER, THIS HASN'T BEEN A GOOD YEAR
FOR THE AGENCY!
THINGS WILL GET BETTER.
WE HOPE SO.
THE ECONOMY--JUST HAVE TO HANG IN THERE.
A LOT OF COMPANIES ARE DYING.
WELL, THEY DON'T HAVE THE IMAGINATION.
ENTERTAINMENT'S RECESSION-PROOF.
REVENUES ARE HOLDING STEADY.
COSTS KEEP GOING UP.
I DO A LOT OF BUSINESS FOR THIS AGENCY.
NO, YOU DON'T. YOU'RE BRINGING IN WHAT WE PAY YOU--
$300,000 A YEAR.
YOU'RE DOWN TO SIX WRITERS, AND THEY'RE HACKS.
THEY HAVEN'T GROWN BECAUSE YOU DON'T PUSH THEM OR YOURSELF.
CLIENTS COME TO YOU, OR CAME TO YOU,
BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO BE AROUND YOU.
YOU'RE A GUY PEOPLE WANT TO BE AROUND,
BUT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO CLOSE A DEAL ANYMORE.
YOU DON'T TAKE THE DETAILS
OF THE BUSINESS SERIOUSLY ANYMORE.
YOU FOLLOW YOUR DICK A LITTLE TOO MUCH.
I QUIT.
WE'RE NOT ASKING YOU TO QUIT.
WHY SHOULD I STAY AND BE INSULTED?
IT ISN'T AN INSULT.
IT'S--IT'S AN INTERVENTION.
IT'S PART OF YOUR EDUCATION.
WE'RE TRYING TO HELP YOU.
YOU CAN TURN YOURSELF AROUND, PETER.
NAH. I QUIT.
THIS IS ACTUALLY GOOD NEWS, YOU KNOW?
I MEAN, I'M NEVER GOING TO BE THE HEAD OF THIS COMPANY,
AM I, KEVIN?
PROBABLY NOT.
THEN WHY IN HELL SHOULD I STAY HERE?
YOU TELL ME.
I'VE BEEN A LITTLE TOO CO-DEPENDENT HERE--
TAKING CARE OF EVERYBODY ELSE'S FEELINGS
INSTEAD OF MY OWN. THAT'S MY PROBLEM.
I'VE NOT VISUALIZED CLEARLY ENOUGH WHAT I REALLY WANT.
THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE.
YOU THINK I'M MAD AT YOU?
I'M NOT MAD AT YOU.
THIS IS ACTUALLY KIND OF A GIFT, YOU KNOW?
I WELCOME THIS.
I WELCOME WHAT MY NEXT STEP IN MY JOURNEY WILL BE,
AND SO...
I QUIT.
GOODBYE, KEVIN.
GOODBYE, GUYS.
DO THIS FOR ME.
ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS FOR ME?
COME FOR ME, BABY.
YES, COME FOR ME. COME FOR ME.
YOU CAN COME FOR ME.
YOU'RE SO SWEET.
OHH!
SORRY. SORRY.
ARE YOU HAPPY NOW?
ARE YOU HAPPY?
YOU TOOK A BRAVE LEAP TODAY, YOU KNOW.
HELL WITH THEM.
FACE IT. THEY'RE NOT A GOOD AGENCY.
YOU DID THE RIGHT THING.
YOU'RE JUST SCARED.
IT'S NORMAL TO FEEL SCARED, PETER.
I'M NOT SCARED.
DO I LOOK SCARED? I'M NOT SCARED.
DON'T ASK ME TO GO BY HOW YOU LOOK.
YOU ALWAYS LOOK GREAT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE SCARIEST THINGS ABOUT YOU.
NO ONE EVER KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
I'M THINKING ABOUT YOU, ALISON.
YOU'RE SO SWEET.
I'LL CALL YOU.
[DOOR CLOSES]
"HAP KNOWS I FOUND THE GOLD.
HE'S KEEPING ME A PRISONER."
PRISONER?
I ALWAYS SAID THAT HAP WAS NO GOOD.
[HORSES RUNNING]
[GUNSHOTS]
IT'S INTERESTING, ISN'T IT?
WHAT?
LASER DISCS ARE BETTER THAN VIDEOTAPE.
THAT'S OBVIOUS,
BUT VINYL--REAL RECORDS SOUND BETTER THAN CDs.
DIGITAL IS WEIRD.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
THE GYM.
OHH.
YOU MUST'VE HAD QUITE A WORKOUT.
I DID.
I WAS, UH--
I HAVE A LOT OF TENSION.
HMM. YOU NEEDED TO SWEAT.
YES.
YOU'RE STILL SWEATING.
WELL, WHAT CAN I SAY?
I GOT A LOT ON MY MIND.
YOU CAN TELL ME WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU, PETER.
I'M YOUR WIFE.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO.
UH, PETER WITNER?
YEAH.
CONGRATULATIONS, PETER.
YOU'VE BEEN SELECTED AS A GRAND-PRIZE WINNER
IN A NATIONWIDE COMPETITION, AND YOU'RE ELIGIBLE
FOR ONE OF THREE FANTASTIC GRAND PRIZES.
ARE YOU PROUD OF YOURSELF?
IS THIS WHAT YOU WANTED TO BE WHEN YOU GREW UP?
DAMN TELEPHONE SALESMEN. WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?
YOU WERE SAYING?
I QUIT WORK TODAY.
YOU QUIT WORK?
YEAH.
YOU QUIT WITHOUT TELLING ME YOU WERE GONNA QUIT?
I'M TELLING YOU NOW.
PETER!
WHAT?
THIS WAS A BAD TIME FOR YOU TO QUIT.
I LOST MY BIGGEST ACCOUNT TODAY.
EVERYBODY'S CUTTING BACK, YOU KNOW?
THERE REALLY IS NO WORK ANYMORE.
WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME?
BY THE TIME I PAY FOR MATERIALS AND STAFF,
I'M NOT EVEN BREAKING EVEN,
AND NOW YOU GO AND QUIT.
WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
THE QUESTION IS, WHAT ARE WE GONNA DO?
THAT'S THE QUESTION. WE'RE A COUPLE.
YOU'RE NOT BEHAVING LIKE SOMEONE IN A COUPLE, PETER.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO QUIT.
WHAT DID YOU BUY?
NOTHING.
EXPENSIVE NOTHING.
YOUR BUSINESS IS CRASHING, AND YOU GO SHOPPING?
YOU'D DO THE SAME, AND THEY WERE ON SALE.
DON'T APOLOGIZE.
LET ME SEE.
NO.
I JUST WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU BOUGHT.
IT'S ALL GOING BACK.
WHAT'S THIS?
NOTHING.
INTERESTING.
IT'S JUST SOME, YOU KNOW, HIPPIE THING
SARAH GAVE ME.
WHAT IS THIS?
YOU NEED A MASSAGE.
FINE. I'LL CALL LOUISA.
NO, FROM ME. NOW.
YOU'RE GOING TO TRY TO FUCK ME.
I DON'T WANT TO FUCK YOU RIGHT NOW.
I'M NOT GONNA DO ANYTHING YOU DON'T WANT TO DO.
THIS IS NICE, ISN'T IT?
MMM.
YES, THIS IS NICE.
STRANGE PLACE TO HAVE A MASSAGE THOUGH,
IN A RESTAURANT...
WITH PEOPLE WATCHING.
YOU'RE NOT PLAYING FAIR.
ALL THOSE PEOPLE AT THE BAR WATCHING.
WHAT DOES THE BARTENDER LOOK LIKE?
LIKE AN OLD TRUCK.
LIKE A BEAUTIFUL OLD TRUCK.
UH-OH.
HERE HE COMES.
HE'S WALKING AROUND THE BAR,
AND HE'S COMING THIS WAY,
AND I THINK HE WANTS TO KISS YOU
WHILE I MASSAGE YOUR BACK.
CLOSE YOUR EYES.
KEEP YOUR EYES CLOSED.
THE BARTENDER--
THE BARTENDER CAN'T CONTROL HIMSELF.
HE HAS TO PROBE A LITTLE DEEPER.
AND A LITTLE DEEPER.
THERE ARE THINGS HE JUST HAS TO KNOW.
LIKE WHAT?
LIKE...
LIKE--LIKE THIS.
IT'S NOT FAIR, YOU KNOW,
THE WAY YOU MAKE LOVE TO ME.
IT'S NOT FAIR. IT'S NOT REAL.
I DON'T THINK YOU'RE REALLY HERE.
BUT YOU LIKE IT.
MAYBE IT'S TOO EASY TO LIKE.
MAYBE I SHOULDN'T HAVE QUIT.
MAYBE NOT.
WE AREN'T IN GOOD SHAPE NOW, ARE WE, YOU AND I?
TERRIBLE.
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS BETWEEN US
THAT WE'RE NOT SAYING.
DO YOU LOVE ME?
WELL, IF THINGS GET REALLY BAD,
WE'LL JUST THROW A PARTY AND BLOW OUR BRAINS OUT.
MAKE THE GUESTS DO THE CLEANUP.
PLEASE. THAT'S SO UNFAIR TO THEM.
WELL, THEN, LET'S THROW A PARTY.
YEAH. THAT'S A LOVELY IDEA.
WE HAVEN'T THROWN ONE IN SIX MONTHS.
I THINK WE NEED IT TO SHAKE SOMETHING UP,
DON'T YOU THINK, KATHERINE?
KATHERINE, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[DOORBELL RINGS]
KATHERINE.
KATHERINE?
HI.
HELLO.
DAD.
I HATE THAT WORD. NOT IN FRONT OF EMILY.
HI, EMILY.
I'M PETER. THIS IS KATHERINE.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL HOME.
HAVE I SEEN IT IN HG?
[PETER] HG,NOVEMBER '89.
JEFF, HOW WAS-- HOW WAS CHICAGO?
JUST WONDERFUL.
WHERE'D YOU MEET HER?
ISN'T SHE BEAUTIFUL?
LOVELY.
[PLAYS CLASSICAL PIECE]
[SLAMMING PIANO KEYS]
DOESN'T THE WORLD KNOW THAT'S THE ONLY PIECE YOU PLAY?
WHAT ABOUT THIS?
[PLAYING SAME SONG]
OH.
HA HA HA!
THAT'S SO SWEET.
HI.
SUE. GOD.
THANKS FOR INVITING ME.
OH, PLEASURE.
HI.
TOM.
MONICA.
THIS IS MY FRIEND MISHA.
THIS IS KATHERINE.
HI.
VERY HEALTHY PLANT.
YEAH.
IT IS, ISN'T IT?
GOOD NITROGEN LEVEL.
YEAH.
KATHERINE.
HI.
ANNA.
T.X. SENDS HIS REGRETS.
HOW ARE YOU?
I'M FINE.
ARE YOU REALLY?
YES. STOP THAT.
LOOK, UH, KATHERINE AND I ARE, HMM...
WHAT?
HAVING PROBLEMS.
TWO CHOICES.
YEAH?
RIDE IT OUT OR LEAVE HER.
PETER.
YEAH?
ELLEN!
I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
ELLEN, I HAVE TO PLAY HOST.
IT'S IMPORTANT,
BUT WE'LL TALK LATER.
RIGHT.
HI, SARAH.
HOW ARE YOU, PETER?
WE BROUGHT A FRIEND.
THIS IS JEAN LEVY.
JEAN'S FROM FRANCE.
BELGIUM.
LA BELGIQUE.
AND HE'S WONDERFUL.
JEAN'S A TEACHER, A SPIRITUAL TEACHER.
GOOD FOOD?
OH, PETER.
DO YOU REMEMBER RYAN?
HE DID BROCHURES FOR ME.
NOW HE'S A PRODUCTION DESIGNER.
THIS IS, UH...ALISON.
ALISON GALE. YES.
HI.
YOU MUST KNOW HER. SHE'S AN AGENT.
YES.
YEAH. UH, WILLIAM MORRIS, RIGHT?
RIGHT. RIGHT.
DRINK TIME!
EXCUSE ME.
DID YOU SEE THAT PAINTING ON THE SECOND FLOOR,
THAT ONE WITH THREE SHIPS?
GOD, I'D LOVE THAT PAINTING.
EDROUCHET. IT'S THE FIRST PAINTING I EVER BOUGHT.
TINA. NICE PARTY.
PETER. GLAD YOU THINK SO.
WELL, PEOPLE ARE, UM, VERY FRIENDLY.
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION?
YOU CAN ASK ME ANY QUESTION.
REALLY?
MM-HMM.
ANY QUESTION?
SURE.
HOW ARE YOUR MORALS TONIGHT?
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
HOW ARE YOUR MORALS--
KNOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL?
DO YOU CARE?
THAT'S A STRANGE THING TO SAY
WHEN YOUR WIFE'S 20 FEET AWAY.
MM-HMM.
WHO'D YOU COME HERE WITH?
MY FRIEND NANCY.
SO, UH, HOW ARE YOUR MORALS?
SORT OF WEAK.
AND YOURS?
YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THEM.
WELL, DON'T LOOK TOO HARD.
YOU MIGHT SPOIL THE FUN.
PERHAPS YOU'D LIKE SOMETHING TO EAT.
SOMETHING--YES.
AND SOME WINE.
YES, SOME RED WINE WOULD BE FINE.
NOBODY TAUGHT YOU TO BE A MAN.
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
NOBODY TAUGHT YOU TO BE A MAN.
IT BOTHERS YOU TO BE LOOKED AT THIS WAY?
WELL, IT'S NOT WHAT I'M USED TO.
YOU NEED IT. YOU'RE IN TROUBLE.
EVERYBODY'S IN TROUBLE.
I SEE BLOCKED ENERGIES.
ENERGIES TURN BACK ON THEMSELVES.
I SEE YOU TRYING TO CANCEL YOURSELF OUT.
WHAT ABOUT HER?
WHAT ABOUT THAT WOMAN OVER THERE?
YOUR WIFE SHARES SOME OF YOUR WEAKNESS.
ALSO, SHE'S ANGRY AT YOU.
SHE DOESN'T TRUST YOU.
WE HAVE A RETREAT CENTER IN LONG PINE.
COME TO LONG PINE.
YOU NEED IT.
BOTH OF YOU.
DON'T BE AFRAID OF CHANGE.
BUT I AM AFRAID OF CHANGE.
EVERY TIME I MAKE A CHANGE, I REGRET IT.
PETER. AHEM.
HI.
LISTEN, RYAN INVITED ME.
I DIDN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION.
YOUR WIFE INVITED HIM.
HE SAID KATHERINE, NOT THE LAST NAME.
I DIDN'T MAKE THE CONNECTION.
DON'T SWEAT IT.
O.K. THANK YOU.
I MEAN, I'M NOT THE BIGGEST BELIEVER IN MONOGAMY,
BUT THIS IS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING FOR ME.
UH-HUH.
SO IS RYAN THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE?
HOW DARE YOU BE JEALOUS.
God.
NO.
MARY, HI.
LAURA, HI.
LYLE, HI.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE OUTSIDE.
HOW ARE YOU, LAURA?
NEVER BETTER.
WHAT CAN I GET YOU?
DO YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN?
WE'RE GONNA LOOK AT PEOPLE TONIGHT.
LOOK ALL YOU WANT. HERE SHE IS.
LAURA, HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD.
DO YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN?
NO, I WANT TO STAND.
O.K. LYLE.
PETER.
EXCUSE ME.
[BABY CRIES]
HEY, PETER.
PAUL, HOW ARE YOU? HI, CHRIS.
WE COULDN'T GET A BABYSITTER.
ISN'T SHE CUTE?
I DIDN'T WANT A BABYSITTER.
I TALKED TO KEVIN THIS MORNING.
REALLY?
HE SEEMED VERY GOOD ABOUT ALL THIS.
THE WORLD THINKS YOU LEFT OVER A COMPENSATION ISSUE.
HE'S TALKED TO STUDIO PEOPLE. HE LIKES YOU.
I DON'T CARE. QUITTING WAS MY IDEA.
WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN RUNNING BUSINESS AFFAIRS
FOR A TELEVISION SYNDICATOR?
THAT'S NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND.
FINE. PETER, TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT.
I CAN'T DO ANYTHING UNLESS YOU KNOW.
WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU WANT TO DO
TO MAKE A LIVING?
YOU WANT TO TO GO INTO BUSINESS WITH A PRODUCER?
I WANT TO DO SOMETHING, PAUL.
I WANT TO, YOU KNOW,
I WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT USES THE BEST OF ME.
THAT USES THE BEST OF ME.
WELL, THAT'S A BEGINNING.
SO WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF I TOLD YOU
I WAS THINKING ABOUT GETTING OUT OF HOLLYWOOD, PAUL?
WHEN YOU SAIL BEYOND THE HORIZON,
YOU FALL OFF THE EDGE OF THE WORLD.
FORGET WHAT THEY TAUGHT YOU IN SCHOOL.
THE EARTH IS FLAT.
LOOK, WE REALLY CAN'T STAY.
WE'RE TAKING SUZANNAH TO SANTA BARBARA TOMORROW.
YOU'RE NOT LISTENING TO ME.
GOOD NIGHT, PAUL.
KADOS, KADOS,
KADOS, KADOS.
HEDENNOI. ELLOI.
ZENA. OATH. OCHI MANWELL.
WISDOM. WAY. LIFE. VIRTUE.
OPEN THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE CLOSE TO YOU.
AMEN.
HE CHEATS ON YOU.
HOW DO YOU KNOW?
LOOK AT HIM-- THE WAY HE TALKS TO WOMEN.
THE BODY LANGUAGE.
WHEN HE GOES ON BUSINESS TRIPS,
HE TAKES OFF HIS WEDDING RING.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THIS?
YOU DON'T DESERVE THAT.
YOU'RE A TROPHY.
THERE'S A LOT OF DUST ON THIS OLD TROPHY.
YOU JUST NEED TO BE POLISHED.
YOU'RE NOT SO YOUNG.
I'M NOT 16.
I BET YOU'VE BEEN AROUND THE BLOCK, MR. SMARTY.
COUPLE OF TIMES.
MORE THAN A COUPLE.
SO I'VE RUN A MARATHON OR TWO.
I BET YOU HAVE.
DO SOMETHING STUPID.
LEAVE THE PARTY WITH ME.
I'M NOT GOING TO LEAVE MY OWN PARTY
WITH A 26-YEAR-OLD...
ACTOR?
I AM NOT AN ACTOR.
WELL, WHAT?
I'M A BUSINESSMAN.
I OWN A COFFEE HOUSE.
IT'S CALLED INSOMNIA.
OH, I'VE BEEN THERE.
I'VE SEEN YOU THERE.
YOU'VE SEEN ME THERE.
YES.
YOU'VE BEEN WATCHING ME ALL NIGHT.
YES.
WE'VE BEEN WATCHING EACH OTHER.
I WON'T BITE.
THEN YOU'RE LIKE ALL THE MEN IN THIS TOWN--
ALL TALK, NO TEETH.
COME ON.
OHH.
EXPERIENCE IN SENSATION.
CONSCIENCE POLICE.
YOU HAVE NO JURISDICTION IN THIS TERRITORY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
FOLLOWING MY BLISS.
SHE LEFT.
WHO?
YOUR WIFE.
SHE LEFT WITH SOMEONE.
YOU MUST EMBRACE THE THING THAT HURTS YOU.
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
LIVE WITH THE QUESTION.
I'VE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.
MY HUSBAND DOES IT.
I LIKE YOU.
IT'S FUNNY HOW PEOPLE CONNECT, ISN'T IT?
[PLAYING CLASSICAL MUSIC]
IS IT MY FAULT THINGS ARE SO FUCKED UP BETWEEN US?
IT'S MY FAULT?
I DIDN'T SAY IT'S YOUR FAULT.
THERE'S NO RIGHT OR WRONG.
PLEASE. COULD YOU TELL THE TRUTH
ONCE IN YOUR LIFE?
YOU WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE IT.
OH, O.K. O.K.
SO, HOW HAVE I HELD YOU BACK?
YOU HAVEN'T HELD ME BACK.
ONE PERSON CANNOT HOLD ANOTHER PERSON BACK.
THAT'S A JUDGMENT.
THERE'S NO VICTIM HERE.
I FEEL HELD BACK.
THESE ARE MY FEELINGS.
LIKE WHAT YOU DID LAST NIGHT.
THAT HURTS ME.
I FEEL HURT BY THAT.
MAYBE THAT'S MY WAKE-UP CALL.
I REALIZE MY LIFE ISN'T ON TRACK.
MAYBE I'M ON A DETOUR, A SUBPATH.
SO I NEED SUPPORT.
I DON'T FEEL ANY SUPPORT FROM YOU.
LIKE QUITTING MY JOB--
THAT'S A SUBPATH.
DO I HEAR, "GREAT, HONEY"?
"I'LL HELP YOU FIND YOUR DREAM."
NO. I HEAR, "WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO FOR MONEY?"
WHAT IS MONEY? HUH?
MONEY ISN'T MONEY.
MONEY'S JUST AN EXPRESSION OF SOMETHING ELSE.
MONEY WILL EXPRESS ITSELF.
IF WE NEED MONEY, MONEY WILL EXPRESS ITSELF.
IT'S LIKE LOVE.
IF THERE'S LOVE HERE, LOVE WILL EXPRESS ITSELF.
I JUST NEED SUPPORT, KATHERINE.
I NEED A PUSH.
I NEED A GODDAMN PUSH.
YOU'D FALL OVER.
YOU'D BREAK.
YOU'D LIKE TO THINK SO, WOULDN'T YOU?
I MEAN, I'M TRYING TO GET TO SOMETHING HERE,
TO THE BOTTOM OF SOMETHING.
YOU COULD AT LEAST BE NICE.
IT'S YOUR BIG WEAPON, ISN'T IT?
IT'S WHAT EVERYBODY ADORES ABOUT YOU.
I WASN'T NICE LAST NIGHT.
NO.
[CHUCKLING]
YOU WERE BAD.
DON'T BE CUTE.
YOU QUIT YOUR JOB WITH NO PLACE ELSE TO GO.
YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BE CUTE.
IT'S JUST MY INNER CHILD SHOWING THROUGH.
YOUR INNER CHILD
IS RUNNING US INTO BANKRUPTCY.
WHY DON'T YOU GET IN TOUCH
WITH YOUR INNER ADULT?
WHY ARE WE SO AWFUL?
YOU'RE THE MYSTIC IN THIS FAMILY.
AREN'T WE SUPPOSED TO THINK POSITIVELY?
I'M TRYING,
LIKE I'M TRYING TO FIND WORK,
YOU KNOW?
BUT I'VE CALLED EVERYBODY.
NOBODY NEEDS A GRAPHIC DESIGNER.
WE HAVE TO FIND SOME WORK, PETER.
WE HAVE ABOUT 30 DAYS LEFT IN THE BANK,
AND THEN WE'RE BROKE.
AND IF WE DON'T FIND SOME MONEY,
WE'LL HAVE TO START SELLING PAINTINGS,
ONE BY ONE.
AND THEN THE HOUSE.
YEAH, ALL RIGHT. CUT TO THE CHASE.
I HATE THAT LINE.
YOU GONNA CRITICIZE EVERYTHING I SAY,
OR ARE YOU GONNA TALK TO ME?
SHOULD WE GET A DIVORCE?
WHAT?
WHO'S TALKING ABOUT A DIVORCE, KATHERINE?
I DON'T KNOW.
YOU SLEEP WITH A GUY ONCE,
AND YOU WANT A DIVORCE?
ARE YOU IN LOVE?
NO.
I NEED SOME SPACE.
SPACE.
WE BOTH NEED SPACE.
I'M SO IN LOVE WITH YOU, PETER,
BUT I'M GOING OUT OF MY MIND.
IF I HAD SOME MONEY,
I'D BUY A CONDO, YOU KNOW,
BUT I CAN'T EVEN AFFORD RENT.
I CAN'T KICK YOU OUT OF THE HOUSE.
IT'S YOURS AS MUCH AS MINE.
WE'VE GOT TO GET SOME MONEY, PETER.
WELL, I'M TRYING, BABY.
YOU KNOW, I'M TRYING, O.K.?
WE HAVE TO TRY HARDER.
PETER...
THIS IS WHAT I'VE BEEN THINKING.
WE BOTH STAY LIVING IN THE HOUSE,
BUT WE HAVE OUR OWN LIVES.
YOU KNOW?
WE LIVE SEPARATELY.
JUST FOR A WHILE.
O.K.?
I COULD TAKE MY OFFICE,
AND YOU COULD TAKE THE BEDROOM.
JUST FOR A WHILE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
YOU TAKE THE BEDROOM.
THAT'S GENEROUS.
THAT'S VERY GENEROUS...
BUT IT WAS MY IDEA.
YOU TAKE THE BEDROOM.
O.K.
MAYBE WE SHOULD GO DANCING.
GOD, IT'S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I'VE BEEN DANCING.
WANT TO GO DANCING?
YEAH. I'D LIKE TO DO THAT.
[CAR DOOR CLOSES]
WHAT ARE YOU AFRAID OF?
POVERTY.
WORK.
I'M NOT AFRAID OF WORK.
YOU WORK. I WORK.
NO. I MEAN REAL WORK.
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE AFRAID OF--
JOBS, REGULAR JOBS.
WORKING FOR A BOSS ON A SALARY,
BY THE HOUR.
NO EXPENSE ACCOUNT.
NO EXPENSE ACCOUNT?
YIKES.
GOD, I'D KILL MYSELF.
REALLY?
WHAT JEAN MEANS
IS THAT EVERYONE IS GOOD AT SOMETHING,
BUT SOMETIMES
THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT WHAT THAT IS
BECAUSE THEY THINK THAT IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING
THAT THEY SHOULDN'T DO.
SO, WHAT ARE YOU GOOD AT?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
IF THE TWO OF YOU
COULD DO ANYTHING RIGHT NOW,
IF YOU COULD GO ANYWHERE,
WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
SHOPPING.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
WE'D GO SHOPPING.
AH HA HA!
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOOD AT--
SHOPPING AND TALKING.
YEAH. WE'D GO SHOPPING.
THERE'S YOUR ANSWER.
YOU KNOW,
IN CHINESE,
THE WORD FOR "CRISIS"
IS THE SAME AS THE WORD FOR "OPPORTUNITY."
IF I ASK HIM TO EXPLAIN,
HE'LL SAY, LIVE WITH THE QUESTION.
NO. I KNOW WHAT HE MEANS.
IT'S SO...
IT'S SO CLEAR.
IT'S BRILLIANT.
HE WANTS US TO OPEN A STORE.
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
SHOPPING AND TALKING--
A STORE.
WHAT KIND OF STORE?
WHAT ARE WE SELLING?
LIVE WITH THE QUESTION.
AN EYEGLASS STORE.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
GLASSES.
YOU NEED A SPECIAL LICENSE FOR THAT.
WELL...
TECHNICALLY, ANYWAY.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
WHAT ABOUT, UH...
A FRANCHISE FOR A COPY STORE?
OH, GOD.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?
OH, GOD.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, "OH, GOD"?
XEROX MACHINES...
5 CENTS A PAGE....
ENDLESS STREAMS

THERE'S A LOT--
THERE'S A LOT OF THOSE MIDLEVEL INSURANCE EXECUTIVES
NEEDING THESE RESUMES COPIED.
5 CENTS A PAGE ADDS UP.
TO WHAT? MONEY?
THERE'S LOTS OF WAYS TO MAKE MONEY.
THEY DON'T HAVE TO BE SO GODDAMNED BORING.
I KNOW I'M SICK.
I KNOW I WORRY ABOUT LOOKING COOL,
BUT YOU WORRY ABOUT LOOKING COOL, TOO.
DON'T TELL ME YOU DON'T.
I KNOW, BUT I'M WORKING ON IT.

OH, WHAT?
THE HIP...
ARISTOCRACY.
THE HIP-OCRACY. GET IT?
NO.
THE NAME OF THE STORE, KATHERINE--
HIPOCRACY.
WHAT ARE WE SELLING? WE'RE SELLING CLOTHES.
WE'LL CALL IT HIPOCRACY, AND WE'LL GET RICH.
WE'LL HAVE THE FIRST SMALL DEPARTMENT STORE
FOR ALL OF THE HYPOCRITES.
IF WE'RE SO GOOD AT SHOPPING,
WE DO THE SHOPPING FOR THE CUSTOMERS.
THE STORE STOCKS OUR TASTE--
A FEW GOOD SHIRTS, DRESSES.
BUT HOW'S IT GOING TO BE DIFFERENT
FROM ANY OTHER STORE?
I KNEW YOU'D ASK THAT QUESTION.
THE STOCK CHANGES ALL THE TIME
SO THE CUSTOMERS KEEP COMING BACK
TO SEE WHAT WE'VE GOT FROM WEEK TO WEEK.
IT'S WHERE PEOPLE GO WHEN THEY DON'T HAVE TIME,
BUT THEY COME TO US

PLEASE,
ARE WE ALL SO AFRAID OF THE ECONOMY?

WHERE WILL YOU PUT THEM?

RIGHT.
DRESSING ROOMS ARE RIGHT...
HERE.
MMM-MMM. NO.
NOT IN DIRECT LINE WITH THE DOOR.
OH.
ALL THE ENERGY FROM THE STREET...
NO ONE WILL FEEL COMFORTABLE.
RIGHT.
PETER, DID YOU BRING THESE OBJECTS
THAT ARE VALUABLE TO YOU?
YEAH. YEAH.
HONEY, IT'S GOING TO WORK.
I FEEL IT.

I FEEL CLEAN, DAD. I FEEL CLEAN.
YOU'RE VERY BRAVE
TO OPEN AN EXPENSIVE CLOTHING STORE
ON THE SAME STREET WHERE ALL THE OTHER STORES
SELL ANTIQUES AND TOILETS.
THIS IS A NEW BEGINNING FOR KATHERINE AND ME.
GIVE US YOUR BLESSING.
I WISH YOU THE BEST OF LUCK.
REALLY.
THANKS, DAD.
THE MIRRORS BEHIND THE CASH REGISTER,
THEY'RE TOO SMALL.
DO YOU THINK THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE?
IT MIGHT.
NOW THAT'S LOVELY.
OH, THE BELT?
ISN'T THAT FABULOUS?
THE LEATHER COMES FROM ITALY,
AND THE BUCKLE'S FROM A DESIGNER IN NEW YORK.
IT'S GORGEOUS.
WE THINK SO.

HOW MUCH IS IT?
400.

BECAUSE SHE THINKS SHE'S WON IT AS A PRIZE AND...
THAT'S WHAT I DID TODAY.
AND I DID IT BRILLIANTLY.
AND I'M ONE OF THOSE GUYS NOW.
HMM.
KATHERINE?
DON'T TURN AROUND.
THERE'S YOUR SUIT.
I'LL BE DOWNSTAIRS.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE A SHOWER
AND POUR YOURSELF A DRINK.
IT'S A PITCHER OF MARGARITAS.
I THOUGHT OF CHAMPAGNE,
BUT, YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES THE BUBBLES ARE JUST SO OBVIOUS.
TEQUILA IS SO MEXICAN.
SO DAY OF THE DEAD.
[PIANO PLAYING SOMBER MUSIC]
KATHERINE?
HERE I AM.
WOW.
WHEN YOU'RE CALLING ON THE ANGEL OF DEATH,
YOU HAVE TO CALL IN STYLE.
DON'T YOU THINK?
MAY I... MAY I PROPOSE A TOAST?
OF COURSE.
TILL DEATH DO US PART.
I CAN ONLY DO THIS...
IF YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.
DO YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU?
I KNOW THAT.
MMM.
BITTER?
I'M SORRY.
DON'T APOLOGIZE.
SWEETENER?
SUGAR. WHAT THE HELL.
LET'S LIVE DANGEROUSLY.
[SOUR NOTES]
I'M SORRY IF I EVER HURT YOU.
PETER...
THAT'S ALL FINISHED NOW.
IT'S OVER.
YEAH.
SHALL WE GO?
I'M, UM...
I'M FEELING A LITTLE, UM...
LIGHTHEADED RIGHT NOW.
KATHERINE...
BABY, MY FEET ARE COLD.
THAT'S ALL I'M...
OHH...
THAT'S ALL I'M FEELING.
AND MY FEET ARE...
ARE FREEZING.
HMMM...
KATHERINE...
IS THAT...
ENOUGH?
KATHERINE...
MM-HMM.
DID YOU DO...
ENOUGH STUFF...
IN MINE?
UH-HUH.
GOOD.
THERE IT IS.
OH.
THAT'S NOT SO BAD.
HELLO.
HELLO, MR. DEATH.
KATHERINE...
Peter.
Huh.
WHAT?
WHAT IS IT?
IT'S A DIVORCE.
YOU'LL WAKE UP IN THREE OR FOUR HOURS.
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KILL YOURSELF...
THERE'S ENOUGH LEFT IN HERE TO DO IT.
BUT IT'S YOUR CHOICE.
I DON'T WANT TO MURDER YOU.
I WANT TO LIVE.
KATHERINE.

[SIGHS]
I WENT BACK LAST MONTH TO VISIT MY PARENTS.
AND WHO PAID FOR THE FUCKING TICKET?
CLEVELAND IS NOT A VACATION.
I'M TALKING ABOUT ROOM SERVICE.
I'M TALKING ABOUT SEX WITH SOMEBODY NEW.
LISTEN TO ME, PEOPLE,
BECAUSE I KNOW WHERE YOU'VE BEEN,
AND I'M HERE TO TELL YOU
YOUR LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS NOW.
I'M HERE TO TELL YOU YOU CAN EITHER LIVE
OR YOU CAN DIE.
DID YOU KNOW THAT IN CHINESE
THE WORD FOR CRISIS
IS THE SAME AS THE WORD FOR OPPORTUNITY?
DID YOU KNOW THAT?
LIVE WITH THE QUESTION.
