00:00:00.998 --> 00:00:05.018
(slow mellow piano)

2
00:00:07.155 --> 00:00:08.750
(door clicks)

3
00:00:09.029 --> 00:00:09.737
- Get it?

4
00:00:09.737 --> 00:00:10.798
- Hi, how's she doing?

5
00:00:10.798 --> 00:00:12.802
- I'm glad to see you,
she's in the kitchen there,

6
00:00:12.802 --> 00:00:15.042
it's the same thing, same thing.

7
00:00:15.042 --> 00:00:18.526
She promises, promises,
it's all lies, always.

8
00:00:18.526 --> 00:00:19.872
- [Hannah] Don't make it worse Dad.

9
00:00:19.872 --> 00:00:22.217
Hi Mom, how ya doing?

10
00:00:22.217 --> 00:00:24.644
Let me get you some coffee,
that's enough of that.

11
00:00:24.644 --> 00:00:25.851
What triggered it?

12
00:00:25.851 --> 00:00:28.045
- We were making a commercial
down at the mayor's office

13
00:00:28.045 --> 00:00:30.321
and there was this young,
good-looking salesman

14
00:00:30.321 --> 00:00:33.026
and your mother was
throwing herself at him

15
00:00:33.026 --> 00:00:35.987
in a disgusting way and when she found

16
00:00:35.987 --> 00:00:37.995
she was too old to seduce him,

17
00:00:37.995 --> 00:00:40.398
that was just embarrassed by her.

18
00:00:40.398 --> 00:00:41.629
- Liar! Liar!

19
00:00:41.629 --> 00:00:44.299
- Then at lunch she
got drunker and drunker

20
00:00:44.299 --> 00:00:47.306
and finally she became Joan Collins.

21
00:00:47.306 --> 00:00:49.002
- [Norma] All my life
I'd had to put up with

22
00:00:49.002 --> 00:00:51.672
insults from this non-person,

23
00:00:51.672 --> 00:00:55.375
this, th- th- this haircut
that passes for a man.

24
00:00:55.375 --> 00:00:57.581
He could never support us.

25
00:00:57.581 --> 00:00:59.985
It's a good thing we
had a talented daughter.

26
00:00:59.985 --> 00:01:02.650
- I can only hope that she was mine,

27
00:01:02.650 --> 00:01:05.167
with you as her mother,
her father could be

28
00:01:05.167 --> 00:01:06.893
anybody in Actors' Equity!

29
00:01:06.893 --> 00:01:09.760
- She's talented, so it's
not likely she's yours!

30
00:01:09.760 --> 00:01:11.525
- Dad, could you just please
stay in the other room

31
00:01:11.525 --> 00:01:13.464
and let me take care of her?

32
00:01:13.464 --> 00:01:15.136
- [Evan] You never know when she's gonna

33
00:01:15.136 --> 00:01:18.577
fall off the wagon and
humiliate everybody.

34
00:01:18.577 --> 00:01:21.054
- Here, Mom, drink this.

35
00:01:21.054 --> 00:01:24.708
You know, you're awful,
you probably were flirting.

36
00:01:24.708 --> 00:01:28.006
- No, I like to joke around and have fun,

37
00:01:28.006 --> 00:01:31.007
and he gets angry because
I get the attention.

38
00:01:31.007 --> 00:01:33.288
He's gotten sourer as he's gotten older,

39
00:01:33.288 --> 00:01:36.249
and I've tried to stay young, at heart.

40
00:01:36.249 --> 00:01:38.292
- You promised to stay on the wagon.

41
00:01:38.292 --> 00:01:40.668
- The sacrifices I've
made because of that man.

42
00:01:40.668 --> 00:01:43.749
He's ruined me with his
ego, his philandering,

43
00:01:43.749 --> 00:01:46.419
his-his-his-his mediocrity!

44
00:01:46.419 --> 00:01:48.428
- Okay, stop being so dramatic.

45
00:01:48.428 --> 00:01:51.005
- He's the one that's made
every ingenue in stock!

46
00:01:51.005 --> 00:01:52.444
- Okay, okay.

47
00:01:52.444 --> 00:01:55.069
- (gasps) Th-th-they, they
wanted me for screen test.

48
00:01:55.069 --> 00:01:55.777
- Yeah, I know, Mom.

49
00:01:55.777 --> 00:01:57.333
- But I, I knew that he'd get up there

50
00:01:57.333 --> 00:02:00.072
and he'd flounder around
with his expensive haircuts

51
00:02:00.072 --> 00:02:04.684
and hairdos and clothes,
and he's all show.

52
00:02:04.684 --> 00:02:05.264
(gasps)

53
00:02:05.264 --> 00:02:06.888
Now how can you act when there's

54
00:02:06.888 --> 00:02:09.517
nothing inside to come out?

55
00:02:09.517 --> 00:02:11.257
(whimpering gasps)

56
00:02:11.257 --> 00:02:15.969
(piano playing)

57
00:02:18.497 --> 00:02:19.741
(pill bottle clicks)

58
00:02:20.951 --> 00:02:23.628
- [Hannah Voiceover] She was
so beautiful at one time,

59
00:02:23.628 --> 00:02:25.730
and he was so dashing.

60
00:02:25.730 --> 00:02:28.361
Both of them just full of promise

61
00:02:28.361 --> 00:02:31.458
and hopes that never materialized.

62
00:02:31.458 --> 00:02:34.902
And the fights and the
constant infidelities

63
00:02:34.902 --> 00:02:39.118
to prove themselves, and
blaming each other, it's so sad.

64
00:02:39.118 --> 00:02:40.513
(melancholy piano)

65
00:02:40.513 --> 00:02:42.558
They loved the idea of having us kids,

66
00:02:42.558 --> 00:02:45.141
but raising us didn't interest them much.

67
00:02:45.141 --> 00:02:47.688
But it's impossible to
hold it against them,

68
00:02:47.688 --> 00:02:49.220
they didn't know anything else.

69
00:02:51.090 --> 00:02:54.132
- You know, of all of us in the family,

70
00:02:54.132 --> 00:02:56.390
you were the one blessed
with the true gift.

71
00:02:56.390 --> 00:02:58.869
- Oh, my true gift is luck, Mom.

72
00:02:58.869 --> 00:03:02.410
I just had a lot of luck,
from my first show, you know?

73
00:03:02.410 --> 00:03:03.590
I've always thought Lee was the

74
00:03:03.590 --> 00:03:05.208
one destined for great things.

75
00:03:05.208 --> 00:03:09.168
- Yes, she's lovely, but
she doesn't have your spark.

76
00:03:09.168 --> 00:03:11.355
She knows it, she worships you.

77
00:03:11.355 --> 00:03:13.814
She wouldn't dare get up there on stage.

78
00:03:13.814 --> 00:03:15.668
- Now, Holly's not shy.

79
00:03:15.668 --> 00:03:19.987
- No, Holly's game for
anything, Holly takes after me.

80
00:03:19.987 --> 00:03:20.591
- True.

81
00:03:20.591 --> 00:03:22.321
- I'd have been a great dope addict.

82
00:03:22.321 --> 00:03:23.192
(snorting laugh)

83
00:03:23.192 --> 00:03:25.025
(melancholy piano continues)

84
00:03:25.025 --> 00:03:26.443
- Remember this, Hannah?

85
00:03:26.443 --> 00:03:31.443
(melodious piano)

86
00:03:31.506 --> 00:03:36.506
(piano plays "You Are Too Beautiful")

87
00:03:41.954 --> 00:03:43.763
(jazz piano arpeggio)

88
00:03:43.763 --> 00:03:48.751
(doleful piano)
