Late Bloomers (2023)

Post by bunniefuu »

LOUISE:

You know

that one-off family friend

your parents have

when you're a kid?

She's named a name

like, um, Rita.

And she's a single lady

who comes over to your house

when you're real small

and she stays for hours.

Maybe for the night.

And she has to borrow

your mom's nightgown

'cause the whole stay

was unplanned.

Like, maybe she, um--

Like, maybe she drank

too much wine at dinner.

And in the morning you're,

like, to your mom and dad,

"Um, who is that lady?"

and, "She's weird."

And they're like, "Shh,

shh, shh, shh, that's Rita.

Be nice.

Life hasn't been kind to Rita."

And then later on in life...

if you still talk

to your parents

and you're still interested

in answers,

you find out that maybe

she's dated the same failed dude

on and off again for years.

Or that she grew out

her mustache

and took excellent care

of her infirm parents

for longer than her shelf life

of attraction allowed.

[PEOPLE CHATTERING,

MUSIC PLAYING SOFTLY]

Nobody thinks

they're gonna be Rita.

And yet Ritas abound.

Adults are sad.

MAX:

Come on.

Ahem, can you come with me?

Yes.

I just gotta get my guitar.

MAX: Do you?

LOUISE: Yes, I need it!

Excuse me, sir.

[CLEARS THROAT]

Congratulations on your love.

MAX:

I didn't fly across the country

to hang out with some randos

in some dirty apartment.

They're not randos. They're me

and Joel's mutual friends.

I've been to all

their birthdays.

It's been a year.

We were together for five!

And they say

it takes half as long

as the relationship

was to get over it.

And he took my virginity,

so I added a year.

And Joel has moved on.

And he's fine.

It's okay. It's okay.

Let's get out of here.

No.

Yep.

No.

Come on.

No, no, no.

Yes.

No! I have to see Joel!

He has to see

how good I'm doing.

You didn't tell me

he was coming.

Well, technically,

he's not coming.

He just lives here

and isn't here yet.

Oh, my God!

What?

Louise, you need to stop

doing sh*t like this.

Like what? Am I supposed

to stop feeling my feelings?

I'm sad, Max. Okay?

My real friends

wouldn't make me feel so bad

about just being who I am.

Your real friends

would tell you the truth,

which is that you've become

a selfish brat.

And you need to f*cking think

about somebody else's feelings

and grow the f*ck up!

I am grown-up!

You are not wearing underwear.

Well, I had laundry.

Just go. Get out of my life.

Take your wine spritzer

and fly away like all the rest.

I don't need you.

[SNIFFLES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

[CELL PHONE RINGING]

[SIGHS]

Oh, no.

You gotta get away

from there, buddy.

[SIGHS]

Then why are you still here?

You know Joel moved out, right?

Oh, really? Did he?

Come on.

One quick one, and I promise

I'll make it very nice.

No, thank you.

You'd be a lateral move.

Okay.

Hey, though.

By the way, no pressure,

but incidentally, where does

Joel live now?



[BUZZES]

[GASPS]

Oh, no.

Oh, no.

[PHONE RINGS]

sh*t.

AL [ON PHONE]:

Louise? Hello?

[GROANS SOFTLY]

Hello, Dad.

I've been calling you!

[DOORBELL BUZZING]

Yeah. Sorry. I was, uh...

Where are you?

The bank.

Okay, look. Listen, Louise,

things with your mom are--

Um...

You need to--

I'm sorry. Can I--

May I call you back, please?

Louise?

[PHONE BEEPS OFF]

Hey.

Joel?

Joel?

[GRUNTS]



[GRUNTING]

Joel?

[GASPS]

[THUDS]

[GROANS]

[LOUISE GROANS IN PAIN]

NURSE:

Are you pregnant?

LOUISE: No.

We'll need a pee test to verify

before we can get an X-ray.

But I'm not pregnant.

Have you ever been pregnant?

No.

I haven't had sex

in three years.

Why not?

Is that a question

on your clipboard?

What's your pain level?

So, listen...

we have a couple options.

You have broken

the ball of the joint

where the femur

meets your pelvis.

Your hip--

My hip?

The ball of your hip.

Wait, I broke my hip?

Like a...

It's not common

for a woman your age.

It's mostly our grandmothers

who need this kind of surgery.

Hmm.

We can try pinning

and screws on the right side,

or a full hip replacement.

Hmm. Dr. Aquino--

It's Dr. Wright.

Oh, right.

Right.

Oh.

[LAUGHS]

Just Dr. Robert Wright.

Visiting surgeon,

here every other Tuesday.

That is a nice schedule.

I'm gonna give you

some time to decide.

If we do the pinning, we'll

need to monitor for necrosis.

That's when the bone

starts to die

because the metal is getting

in the way of the blood flow.

I'm too young to die.

You are very much alive.

Don't worry, Miss Gold.

Can I help you? Is there--

Is there someone

I can call for you?

There is no one.

Farewell, farewell

To you who would hear

You lonely travelers all

The cold north wind

Will blow again

The winding road does call

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

Whoa! Whoa!

Excuse your tone.

I don't know that language.

Sorry.

Can you stop staring at me?

Weirdo.

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

[GASPS]



DOROTHY:

Go on.

YOUNG LOUISE:

It's too hard.

I can't get it.

Keep trying.

I don't want to. I'm bored.

Why are you making me?

Well, you're the one

who wanted to learn.

But I suck.

Oh, no, don't say suck.

I S-U-C-K.

Everyone S-U-C-Ks

in the beginning.

Everyone.

The only difference is

some people keep trying.

[MUSIC PLAYS ON RECORD]

[GASPS]

[ON TV]

Are you going

to Scarborough Fair

Parsley, sage

Rosemary and thyme

Remember me to one

Who lives there...

[SOFTLY]

Hey.

[LOUDER] Hey!

--a true love of mine...

Can you turn that down?

Down, down.

Do you understand? It's, um...

It's too lou-- Loud!

Rosemary and thyme

[VOLUME INCREASES]

Between the salt water...

Okay, see, what you just

did was turn the volume up.

We're healing!

We need quiet to heal!

[VOLUME INCREASES]

[SCOFFS] I don't even...

[CHUCKLES]

Okay, fine.

You've left me no choice.

Parsley, sage

Rosemary and thyme...

What is it?

I have a woman in the next room

who just had her ovaries

cut out.

She won't turn down the TV.

[LOUISE GASPS]

Hey!

That is not okay.

LOUISE: It's not okay.

Do you think

I could go to a solo room?

She and are at vastly

different stages of development.

[GASPS]

Okay, now I'm calling

that as*ault

with a deadly-ish weapon.

Joyce! Listen, this is just...

No.

...so that we can move you. Yes.

[ANTONINA GRUNTING]

It's gonna be okay. All right?



So you take two Percocet

every four hours,

and then two Colace

when the Percocet

makes you constipated.

This is your blood-thinner shot.

You inject one of these

into your stomach fat

every 24 hours

for the next two months

to prevent clotting.

Thank you.

You got somebody comin'

to pick you up?

You're still here?

Leaving now.

Ah.

And don't hang

on those things, baby.

Or they'll make

your nerves go dead,

and then you'll have...

Dead armpits. My body is dying!

Yeah.

I got it.



BUS DRIVER: ID card, please.

Yes. Got that.

I pass?

All right. So, yeah.

How do I just--? Oh, my God!

[GRUNTS]

I'm sorry. Uh--

Do we need to get you to Lyft?

Because you didn't

order a Lyft today.

I got it.

Wow, that's a nerdy sound.

[CHUCKLES]

Like, uh, Velcro, right?

Crutches falling.

Velcro ripping.

Nerdy sounds.



[PASSENGER COUGHING]

One more...

[ANTONIA SPEAKS IN POLISH]

sh*t! Did she see me?

What? Who?

LOUISE:

The old lady over there.

The one who looks

like she wants to k*ll me.

We were hospital roommates, but

she's really cunty about volume.

She's frightening.

This is Antonina.

She is

physical therapy bad girl.

[SCOFFS]

She's...

That is a sad thing

to be known as.

This is good?

Yeah. I can do harder.

Hmm. We go slow for now.

I woke up super stiff

this morning.

This is a thing.

You will wake up in the morning

feeling like corpses.

Look around.

These are your people.

Because you're not like

other 30-year-olds now.

I'm 28.

Even more strange.

If a person breaks a hip

at an age of 80,

that person will most likely

die, the recovery is so hard.

But you live.

Why do you live?

Because even with this exercise,

you will always be different.

[GRUNTS]

This is a blip, okay?

I mean, honestly, maybe just

a sign from the universe

that I was so busy and driven

that I need

to do some self-care

and breathe.

What are you so busy with?

I don't have to answer you.

You sound exactly like Larry.

Who's Larry?

He is physical therapy lazy boy.

Are all these nicknames

necessary?

Want to know what we call you?

I'm sorry.

I have to listen

to this instead of you.

[MUSIC PLAYING OVER HEADPHONES]

INSTRUCTOR:

Hands down.

All right. Awesome, guys.

Now it's time for your favorite.

Noodle tug of w*r.

[OVERLAPPING CONVERSATION]

Are you joining us?

Oh, I'm sorry. I can't. My body.

I was told to just sit

in shallow water.

And for you.

Thank you.

And for you. Got you.

[INSTRUCTOR LAUGHS]

Watch it.

[ALL LAUGHING]

JANICE:

I never used to get

so out of breath.

Last time I felt this tired,

I lost my virginity

in high school

to the senior class president.

God, he was boring.

My first time was a disaster.

He was g*y. I was g*y.

And unfortunately,

not for each other.

I don't go in for the nostalgia.

It makes women weak.

Probably because you

don't have any children.

Children also make women weak.

Agreed. And tired.

Well, I love having my girls

in the house.

They're both in their 30s

and draining

my retirement funds.

And they make jokes

about my taste

and my politics

and my overall personality.

I... Oh, dear.

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

They're awful.

Their generation is just awful!

Oh, sorry, hon.

Not you. Of course.

It's fine.

[CHUCKLES]

AUTOMATED VOICE:

The Graham Avenue line

is delayed by 67 minutes.

For more information--

LOUISE: Oh, g*dd*mn it.

[GRUNTS]

[SIGHS]

Antonina, right?

Can someone pick you up,

or...?

Because the short bus

is, like, really delayed.

[SIGHS]

Come on!

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

Okay. So do you--

Do you want a ride or...?

Do... you... want a ride?

[SPEAKING IN POLISH]



LOUISE:

Well, this is it, I guess.

It's good that someone

wrote it down for you.

Otherwise it would be

literally impossible.

Unbuckle the seatbelt. Sorry.

You got it?

All right. You're welcome!

[SIGHS]

g*dd*mn it!

I'm sorry. Can you stop?

LOUISE:

I think we should go back

to that address, right?

Is there someone

there that we should tell

that you're streetwalking

or "streetwalkering"?

I have a phone. You probably

only recognize the rotary model.

Larry!

[IN POLISH]

You talked to her!

What did you say?

What'd she say?

No English. Sorry.

Oh, yeah.

That is very convenient.

Sorry, sorry.

Okay, even though you

don't speak English,

I'm gonna ask you

another question--

Damn it. Damn it.

Antonina, wait up!

[ANTONIA SPEAKING IN POLISH]

DOROTHY:

No, no.

I'm-- I'm, um--

CASHIER: You wanna buy these?

DOROTHY: No. No, no.

I'm-- No. No, no.

I...

No. No. No.

Mom. Mom, stop.

No, no, no, no, no.

Please. Mom, please.

I can't understand

what she's saying.

I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

MAN: Is she yours?

Excuse me, miss.

Is she yours?

What do you want me to do?

Uh, so you know her?

What do you want me to do?

Take care of her, I guess.

Has she done something wrong?

Um...

Is, uh, gesturing

and speaking another language

against the pharmacy

code of conduct?

It's just, you know, my boss--

Okay, let's say she is mine.

Maybe me taking care of her

is letting her make a scene

in your store

because it suits her today.

Okay?

Okay.

[SIGHS]

[SIGHS]

What does she have, Alzheimer's?

You know, my granddad had that.

She's not mine.

So I don't know.

Antonina, let's go.

Sorry.

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

What?

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

I don't know what you're saying.

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

I can't...

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

"Dom"? "Dom"?

What does "dom" mean?

[SIGHS]

Okay. Okay.

Let's let the phone do it.

Like, we're being run

by Big Brother companies.

We should use them

if they're using us.

I'm getting it fixed.

I haven't had time.

Speak.

Can you say the thing

you just said?

The m-- Can--? Great.

Uh, say the thing you just said.

AUTOMATED FEMALE VOICE:

Say the thing you just said.

No! That is ba*ls!

And my phone is dead.

Good, good, good.

[SIGHS, GROANS]

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

[IMITATES SPEAKING IN POLISH]

Oh. Well, you're welcome.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Hello?

[SIGHS]

BRICK:

That's really lovely to hear,

man.

I'm proud of you!

This-- This humble abode

was nothin' but a mere detour

towards your transcendence,

and I am humbled.

Honored! Me by you.

Mm-mm. No.

[WHISPERS]

Me by you.

All right. Talk soon, man.

Hey! Yo, Lulu!

That was

my 2010 to 2011 roommate, Guido!

Dude's amazin'!

When he was living here,

he was workin' as an intern

at this design firm

and now he's practically

running the company.

LOUISE: Brick.

Uh, hey.

This is Antonina.

She's staying here

for the night.

Hey.

Uh, nice to meet you.

It's your grandma?

No.

We'll be in my room!

Okay.

I found Brick on Craigslist.

He's, like,

a Craigslist buried treasure.

You might have noticed

he's gorgeous,

but, like, I'm an invisible pain

and I can't cross

tenant boundaries, you know?

His dad was a pop star

in Belgium or something,

so he doesn't really have

to work, but owns the place.

I'm sort of a musician too.

I mean, I have an EP,

but it's kind of bad,

which is like--

[CHUCKLES]

What are you doing

if the one thing you do do

is bad?

[CLEARS THROAT]

I thought I'd have

a nightgown phase.

I didn't.

Uh, this is actually my...

Never mind.

Well, I guess you can't

really talk to anyone, huh?

That must suck.

But honestly, it's also cool

to not, like, be able

to talk to each other.

People talking can be

really annoying, actually.

[HUMMING TUNE]

Brick and I are at home

more than usual these days,

obviously.

He's been cool about it so far.

Oh, man!

I gotta stretch tomorrow.

Yeah, we should stretch

it out tomorrow.

Obamacare really saved my life.

I wasn't on it

for, like, two years,

and then I was on it, and

then this happened. It's like...

It's like, "What life

did it save, though?"

You know?

Is what I think about sometimes.

And sometimes I still hear

that whisper of "just give up".

Especially in the bath

for some reason.

Hey, thanks for listening.

[ATTEMPTS TO SPEAK IN POLISH]

You know?



Sorry.

[GROANS]

[GRUNTS]

Oh, sorry.

[SIGHS]

[BREATHES DEEPLY]

[SOFTLY]

Stop staring at me.

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

Weirdo.

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

Are you hungry? I'm hungry.

[GRUNTS]

BRICK:

You slept with her?

I wasn't gonna leave her

on the street.

[PHONE DINGS]

You gonna give her back?

She's not a puppy. And she's

sitting right next to you.

[PHONE DINGING]

Thanks.

Yeah. You're blowin' up.

Oh, God!

Yeah. Jesus, Dad.

One sec. Watch her for me?

Wait, no, no, wait.

Pl-- Louise, please.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SIGHS]

AL:

Anyhow, I'm still

getting mail here for you.

And it would be nice

if you called me just to say,

you know, you're okay.

Are you getting

my texts and calls?

I mean, uh, anyway, I--

I don't wanna stress you out,

but the place

where your mom is at,

it's-- It's so expensive.

And with the accident last

year, I mean, I don't know.

I-- I have some work lined up,

but I'm not sure if that

last gig is gonna be enough.

I-- I haven't figured out

whether I can even afford--

[PHONE BEEPS]

[ENGINE STARTS]

[MUSIC PLAYS INDISTINCTLY

[LOUISE SIGHS]

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]

Mom, we talked about this.

Yeah, hi.

I'm gonna be gone

for an hour, tops.

Your show is on. Come on.

Your favorite show. Let's go.

[DOOR CLOSES]

[SNIFFLES]

[EXPLOSIONS AND MUSIC

All right. Reload. Reload.

Reload. Reload.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Come on!

Do you wanna see the new Pixar?

Uh, sure. Yeah.

Her too?

Yeah.

It's gonna be fun!

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Here.

ANNOUNCER: Please enjoy

this feature presentation.

Sorry.

Perks.

You're not gonna be tried

for kidnappin', are you?

[SNICKERS]

No.

Okay.

I don't know.

Do you know where I could

find around, say, $10,000?

[CHUCKLES]

I'm not joking.

I sort of, well, actually really

f*cked up about a year ago,

and I think

I need to help out my dad.

Okay. Uh, well, what happened?

[DOOR OPENS]

Keep thinking on

monetary options for me, please.

I know I'm a ridiculous person,

but it's for

a not ridiculous person.

Finally.

[IN POLISH]

Hi, I'm Louise.

What's wrong with you, huh?

Excuse me?

You like taking old ladies

for joyrides, huh?

No. What? Joyrides?

I called the center.

They said she took the bus!

She's telling me

she's going to movies!

Oh, no.

See, the bus didn't come,

and then no one was home--

Oh, she has a routine.

She goes on the bus,

and then she goes home.

Well, the bus didn't come,

and neither did you.

And it kind of seemed like

she didn't wanna come home,

and it's hot.

I'm sorry. I was just

trying to take care of her.

I'm sorry. Just whatever.

Your word is safe.

You are welcome.

[GRUNTS]

Did she go to the pharmacy?

Yeah.

Oh, yeah.

[SPEAKS IN POLISH, SCOFFS]

I get calls every day, but I

can't be everywhere at once.

[SIGHS]

When we first came over

to America,

she lived in that building.

Then they knocked down

everything

to make stores and restaurants.

Oh, really?

Yes. She had to move in with me

because people like you

started to move

into the neighborhood.

Oh, yup. G*ntrification.

That is me.

But I'm not a drugstore.

I do love having one

in the neighborhood, though.

Um, home. Home.

She was tryin' to tell me

it was her home.

It all makes sense now.

You know,

she would have been safe

if you did nothing?

Well, you know,

I did something,

and she was safe too.

[SIGHS]

Can you go up stairs with those?

For your troubles.

No, I can't.

How long are you gonna be

on the crutches?

Uh, another few weeks or so.

I've gotta go back

to the doctor,

but I think I go to cane next.

Forever?

Uh, I don't know.

No, not forever.

Don't think this way.

It's Polish to think this way.

My boyfriend always--

Trying to move in

with my boyfriend.

He's not understanding.

He doesn't wanna live with her.

My boyfriend is afraid

she will live forever.

It is Polish to live forever.

It would be fine if she didn't

have more than a year at most.

Totally.

Trying to get her

into a nursing facility,

one that the government

pays for.

I've had aides come,

but they want too much money!

And if they take what I offer,

they end up saying

she's more work than it's worth.

I can't imagine why.

She's on a list,

and we can't lose

our opportunity.

I shouldn't have screamed.

I see now that you

were not trying to steal her

and to be strange.

Oh, God, I would never dream--

[SYLVIA SIGHS]

Do you have a job?

Oh, um, not technically,

but I have--

Okay, well, you can work for us.

But you must call and ask

before she has the sleepovers.

Oh, yeah.

No, that was a one-time thing.

I just-- I have to go back

to my real life.

What is that like?

Um, you know,

nothing concrete for now,

but I'm sort of

a kind of, um, a musician.

Busy in other ways?

Boyfriends? Charitable work?

I don't have a boyfriend.

And you like my grandmother.

She wouldn't shut up

about you in Polish.

That's nice.

But I'm sorry. I can't.

It's just not, you know,

something I want to do at all.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

But it was nice meeting her.

Don't worry about it.

Can I ask you just to stay here

for a half-hour longer?

I need to get to meditation.

Oh, I to-- I would love to.

Please. I'm desperate.

Oh, okay. Yeah.

Yeah! Totally.

It'll be fun.

[MUSIC AND INDISTINCCHATTERING ON TV]

What?!

Antonina.

I'm sorry.

I don't wanna be your nanny.

I have things to do. Okay?

Money?

Money. Do you understand?

I need to make a lot of, uh,

what is it called in your land?

Like, ru-- Rubles? Rupels?

I need to make rupels.

Lots and lots of rupels.

This job? No rupels.

You don't want me

taking care of you

because I can barely

take care of myself.

Me?



You want me to--? Okay.

[GRUNTING]

Oh, it's frickin' gross

under here!

This thing?

[SIGHS]

Okay. How does this...?

Whoa!

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

[REPEATS IN POLISH]

Oh, my God! Watch it!

Oh, you're saying

if I take care of you,

then you take care of me.

Okay.

Can I get that in writing?

It's okay.

Oh, my God!

[LINE RINGS]

AL:

Hello?

Dad?

Louise, I've been calling you!

I know. I know. I'm sorry.

I've been busy.

What are you busy with

where you can't even pick up--?

Well, actually, I got a job.

What kind of job?

I mean, it's great.

It's easy and it pays

really, really well and...

Look, you need to come home.

I know. I am coming home.

I, uh... I mean,

I just got this job,

so I could pay for a ticket

in about--

If you need help

with the plane fare...

No, Dad. I got it.

I'm gonna come home

and help you, I promise.

Can you just hold on

for one second?

Well...

Yeah, somebody else is calling.

[BREATHING DEEPLY]



I'm back!

Look, a job is great, Louise.

[LINE BEEPS]

Oh, I gotta go.

Her doctor's calling.

I love you, kid.

Okay. I'm getting better, Dad.

[LINE BEEPS]

[IN POLISH]

What's wrong?

You're almost late.

I'm on time.

Sorry, I'm stressed.

And I caught her trying to move

without her walker.

I turn away for one moment

and she's into trouble!

Does she ever, like, hurt

anyone with that or--

I don't know. She likes

fruit in the morning.

And put some Metamucil

in her juice.

You'll be fine.

Oh.

I can't get her to wear them,

but you must or she'll--

You don't need to explain

the "or" scenario. I got it.

Uh-huh.

You know, you have

a lot of repressed anger.

[MUTTERS IN POLISH]

That wasn't as bad

The gagging,

I was just being dramatic.

I can be dramatic.

It's what people have said

about me my whole life.

Okay. It's almost over.

Just gonna put these on you now.

Okay.

All right, you ready?

Antonina, sorry. I have to.

Whoa!

Can you stop kicking me?

Okay, here we go.

Look, you are a diaper person.

You need diapers.

I should probably

wear diapers when I drink,

'cause sometimes I piss myself.

There's nothing

to be ashamed of!

Let me put them-- Ow!

Really?

Ow!

Antonina, please.

Antonina.

You know, that's cool.

It's fine.

[GRUNTS]

Okay.

All right.

Now, these are cool.

Oh, my God!

Wow!

Hmm?

Oh, okay! You want some too?

We're gonna look so hot.

Now, move it.

Ladies, this is great

Great for your arms.

I told her I was a one.

I wasn't trying

to be a big shot.

Sometimes I tell him

I'm at a ten

just to get his attention.

They're all crooks.

No, no! That's not true.

No, come on, Inez.

You know

you only go to the doctor

because you're lonely.

Oh, I've never denied that.

Antonina hates going

to the doctor.

Do you understand Polish?

Just a few words,

and it's like, um,

"Is there a translation after

this that actually works?"

But she is so talkative,

she will not shut up

once you get her going.

She seems angry.

Is she angry at us?

Probably not.

I got her kicked out

of my hospital room,

and we're cool now.

I think it's just anger

at the world,

which is understandable.

The world can suck.

Right, Antonina?

[SPEAKS IN POLISH]

Aw, she just said "thank you."

I-- I guess she's just really

grateful for this group.

Aw, that's sweet.

Aw!

Um, I mean,

She's, um...

Ah, her name is...

Louise.

Her name is Louise.

Brick.

He's marrying someone else

named Louise.

I gave the best years

of my college

and post-college life

to that guy,

and he replaces me

with a girl who looks fantastic

in the color nude

with my name!

He just, like, erased

and replaced me.

Am I real? Have I disappeared?

Some chick did

my tarot last fall,

and the card that was

supposed to represent me

was a burning building

with people jumping out of it.

This is your Saturn return.

What's that?

Planeta.

Mm-hmm.

Basically, the end of your 20s

is when everything starts

to just...

pssh, fall apart.

You start moving through

this sexless,

emotionless, jobless tundra,

but you start to take care

of your teeth more.

I bought my first

Sonicare when I was 28.

The best way to get through it

is just to be less self-focused.

Jesus!

Jesus, this is me. This is me.

Why don't you look up what it

"Hip issues can be caused

No, that's a great idea.

Why can't she go out?

She can go out.

She can do anything.

We all deserve...

to go out.

Comin' through! Make way for my

Do we want drinks? I'm buyin'.

Oh, great, because I can't pay.

Antonina, what do you want?

I feel like you're

a white Russian kind of girl.

Actually, you're a white Polish,

aren't you?

Okay, now, that is funny.

I feel like I haven't seen

this many dudes ever.

Look at them! They're so cute

with their backs

and their haircuts.

I guess I'm not dead

Ooh, how about shots?

Shots sound good.

Actually, shots

never sound good.

Oh, my God, I can't see her!

Oh, my God, where is she?

That was good.

Good, good, good.

My mom has Alzheimer's!

What?

My mom, she has Alzheimer's.

She was diagnosed,

like, a couple years ago.

I guess they call it,

uh, younger onset

'cause it set upon her so young.

Like, uh, last time I saw her,

she had already lost her ability

to speak

and read and write.

Like, uh...

Like, it started with aphasia,

which is a loss of, like,

cognitive skills,

and now her body is

just powering down for good.

They gave her

three to five years

at the initial diagnosis.

She and I weren't

really talking much

these past few years anyway,

mainly my fault.

I didn't call, and now

she can't communicate at all.

So a call is pretty pointless.

[CHUCKLES]

This is an intense thing

to talk about here.

Yeah, I know. I--

I never know where to talk

about things anymore. Ever!

Aw, man! I bet that dude

smells so clean and good.

Oh, sh*t. I know that dirt.

Really?

Mm-hmm.

Our families are friendly.

Oh, so is-- Is he, like,

a richie like you?

I wonder if he wants to have,

like, a night

of pure passion with me,

but with, like,

no feelings or kisses.

Him?

The dude's like 20.

Super immature.

Oh, Brick, please be sensible.

He has to be at least 21

No.

And I didn't wanna

tell you that.

What window?

It doesn't matter, okay?

The last time I was home...

Okay, fine, Louise.

...we both know I wanted

to be anywhere else.

What you did last year was dumb,

and I was angry,

but the fact

that she wandered away

and that she fell,

that didn't

make her Alzheimer's worse,

and it wasn't the reason

we had to put her in a home!

It was the only reason.

The reason is she's sick,

and she's not getting

any better.

All I ever wanted was for you to

come home to see her before...

For your sake.

I have no idea

why you had a kid,

and I'm sorry that kid was me.

Do you know that

your mom miscarried for years

before she had you?

She wanted a baby so badly.

And while she watched

all of her friends around her

start having kids,

she felt like she was behind.

But she wasn't.

You're remembering

every rotten thing

you ever said or did.

Fine. Well, do me a favor.

Let in the good memories.

Or make some new ones.

much older than herself.

I don't want that to be a shock.

Is she going to--

Like, she's not gonna understand

what I'm saying, right?

Well, the speech, as you know,

it is almost all gone.

Her cognitive

and behavioral skills

are progressively depreciating.

The body starts to shut down.

What's left, right?

The most basic

and essential qualities.

[SOFTLY]

Thanks.

Can I sit here?

That's a nice dresser.

[HUMS SOFTLY]

[GUITAR STRUMMING TUNE]

DOROTHY:

Go on.

The salty spray...

YOUNG LOUISE:

Wait. What was that?

[GUITAR STRUMMING]

DOROTHY:

Mm-hmm.

See? You know it.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

Hi, kiddo.

Hi, Mom.

You need to ask before you

borrow any of my stuff.

I know.

I love this top.

Me too.

I miss you.

[SNIFFLES]

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATION]

So I've decided to not be

a complete awkward today

and act like you're a child

or an alien.

And I realize that there

is nothing more obnoxious

than people who talk as they

pull guitars out of cases,

especially people who haven't

played for a long time.

It's like, you know,

I don't know about you,

but it gives me

this weird, like,

"Oh, no, 'a jam band in Northern

California's performing'

feeling."

Um, but I brought this guitar.

Thought it might help.

And I need help these days.

You hated jam bands too, right?

Or am I remembering that wrong?

I thought I knew things.

I thought I knew

the end to our story, but...

[SIGHS]

Really, I have no clue.

So here's a song.

And I don't know if it's

a good song or a bad song,

but the whole reason

I know it is because of you.

And that is true.

All right.

[CLEARS THROAT]

[PLAYING SOFTLY]

The young boy rose

His pretty face

All for to feel

The salty spray

When storms are musterin'

They say

He'll come and take you all

Away

I am a traveler

By trade

I only have

What I have made

A fortune teller too

They say

And I can take you all

Away

Doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo, doo, oh, oh

[HUMS TUNE]

[SNIFFLES]

Listen, listen

To him do

He is the one

Who is for you

Listen, listen

They say

And I can take you all

Away

[VOICE BREAKS]

I'm trying.

[SNIFFLING]

Mom.

[CRYING SOFTLY]

LOUISE:

She was good today.

BRICK:

That's really good to hear.

How's the fantasy life?

Heh, well, I put myself on

a "no video games,

no weed" sort of regimen.

Well, if weed, edible.

Wow! That is-- I cannot--

Well, I got inspired

by the Louise Gold

"change your life"

rehab chapter.

Really? I have never inspired

anyone ever,

except to change

their phone number.

[BRICK CHUCKLES]

So you're gonna visit me?

Yeah.

And you gotta come visit me

for Christmas.

To meet my dad.

Oh, man!

I would love to meet

that old pop star.

I miss you, man.

I miss you too.

Okay. Well, I'll talk soon.

Yes, please.

So rough and gray

Watchin' the boy...

AL [ON RECORDING]:

Louise, I'm coming down

from the mountain.

It was fabulous.

I'll be there in two hours.

Mm, make it three hours.

Oh, by the way,

this is your dad.

A young man, he

He is so real

And never more

To go astray...

DOROTHY [ON RECORDING]:

Hi, honey. It's your mom.

Did you get a haircut yet?

I know, I know, but it's

too long, and you should,

and that's just the last

I'm gonna say about it.

Anyways, your dad and I

had a pretty good meal

at that place last night.

We should go

when you're back home.

I woke up thinking of you

and how your day

has already started.

And don't worry about

that stupid boy

or whatever he was doing.

First love is the toughest,

and that's why there are

so many songs about it.

Love you, kid. Talk soon.

Bye.

Doo, doo, doo

Doo, doo, doo

Listen, listen

To him do

He is the one

Who is for you

Listen

They say

He'll come and take

Us all away

He
