Female Perversions (1996) Movie Script
Stay with me.
Play good case, counselor.
Never.
Never.
I can't stand in the way of justice.
Why do you, then?
Why should I do that?
Because I make you scream.
Who is that at seven in the morning?
Take Mr dinner tonight at Harvey's.
No excuses.
John.
Okay?
The new cleaning woman.
Your Honor,
after the exhaustive and detailed evidence
that has been presented, there is no
doubt, not one shred of doubt, that Mr.
Rock.
Is fully responsible for his company's.
Heinous and clandestine practice
of channeling toxic waste into road fill.
He is a small, mean,
dangerous criminal masquerading as
a sophisticated person of means.
He understands only one thing dominance.
So we as an organized society, under
the rule of the law, must dominate him.
Force is required.
He gives no mercy, therefore,
he deserves no mercy.
The only appropriate course of action,
the only thing he'll respond to is
the seizing of his assets,
his companies, his homes, his money.
This action I recommend.
Should I hear that your life.
I do I don't do anything.
So anything.
Well, I think the people of this city have
been aware china
this result
a blow to the criminal community
and that kind of irresponsibility.
Area.
The mayor special treatment labor.
We are all and during shot
Stevens Senior leaving La criminal Court
today won a stunning upset over
local developer Jake Roberts.
And Miss Stevens is in line for the recent
vacancy on the La court of Appeal.
But first, there has been regular mention
in news coverage about
Miss Stevens presentation.
Dial correspondent Carolyn Stewart
has some thoughts on that.
Carolyn?
Eve.
Leave a message after the beat.
Yeah, hi, it's me.
Maddie, where are you?
They finally appointed a successor
to Dad's philosophy throne, so got all
the crap that was left in his office.
You should see some of it's really wild.
Hey, congratulations.
My defense is in eight
days, so enough said.
Yeah, give me a call.
Okay, bye.
Does this stuff really work?
You could use something.
Your credit card's been rejected.
That's impossible.
I tried twice.
What's that lipstick you have on?
Le minne rouge.
It's our new fall color.
Just came in this morning.
Le Minne.
What's mine?
Pussycat.
The red pussycat mouth.
Try this one.
A little wide through the hips.
Are you finding everything you need?
Okay.
Well,
I'm looking for a scarf for my sister
and see, she's been coveting mine and I
haven't taken it off since
my father gave it to me.
But do you have another
one of these in stock?
It has to be the exact one.
I'm sorry.
We're entirely out of though
she'll be so disappointed.
How about a miracle bra?
I haven't met a girl yet
who doesn't enjoy cleavage.
And these bras are really miraculous.
They create cleavage like
a crevice after an earthquake.
Men just fall right into it.
Oh.
Well, I don't know.
Perhaps you could suggest something else.
We have a brand new line of lace
panties in the latest fog house.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Do you think this is too small for me?
I'll get you a size up, madam.
Thanks.
This is really beautiful,
but I'm afraid it's just not her color.
I hate to ask, could you check
if you had it in a pale peach?
Of course.
I'd love to.
It what the fuck is that?
That's a thank you tip
from the breast cancer Task force.
An appreciation of your pro bono work.
So what am I supposed to do with it?
Display it in my office?
Well, you know, you just press on.
It and you look for the lumps,
and then you well, I think it.
Would make a nice addition
to am I interrupting something?
Just girl stuff.
Did you need me?
Yes.
Margot.
Cancel her noon.
You're going to help me
recruit your replacement.
She's in town only a few days
interviewing, and I want her we'll we'll
see her in here so she can see the office.
What are you talking about?
I spoke to the governor yesterday.
You have not gotten rid of me yet.
Besides, I've got about as much chance
of being appointed to the Court of Appeals
as Jake Rock has of doing
any time in San Quentin.
You're perfect.
Trust me.
Wait.
I have read his message
from the governor's office.
He wants the meeting
the judgeship next Tuesday.
Downtown Courthouse 02:00 P.m..
Oh, my God.
I'm going to be a judge.
I have to go back.
Okay, let's get to work.
I want you to call fictionally.
It'S.
John not here right now,
but if you have this number,
I promise I'll call you back.
Where are you?
Rosie said you'd be back tonight.
I have some really great news, and I do
not want to leave it on your machine.
I'm still in the office.
It's 930.
AROSES, AROSES, arose.
Leave a message.
Mitch.
Eve Stevens.
I want you to send me some big luscious
peonies to me at my office tomorrow.
No card.
No.
Send a card.
Write on it.
Eve.
Congratulations.
Can we still do this when you're a judge?
Don't seal the envelope.
Give Margot a thrill.
Daddy.
It's Evie.
Yeah.
I have some great news.
Who is this?
Daddy, it's me.
It's Evelyn.
I'm sorry.
Did I wake you?
Middle of the night here.
You should know that.
I'm sorry.
I tried earlier,
but there was nobody there.
Daddy, you still there?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I have some really great news.
Then wait until tomorrow.
Too late now.
Okay, I'll call tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
Go back to sleep.
You
no.
Flavias thighs.
Stinky, rank, rubbery cut
and drooping tiny tips vulgar.
Lascivious, insatiable, beast.
Stupid and devious.
Nothing about you is genuine.
Everyone knows you're a fraud.
I have nothing at all.
Working late?
I'm I'm actually just moving in.
I'm the new doctor in the next suite.
You're not a doctor.
Psychiatrist.
What'd you do, start
medical school at 1518?
Actually, Your Honor.
Oh, my God.
It was you this morning.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Um people here?
No.
Shut your hand.
Well, I could use a drink.
You could use a drink?
Yeah.
Could you?
You want a drink?
Sure.
Come on.
Come on, Doctor.
I'll give you a drink.
Here's to the first kiss.
The second, and especially the third.
The young doctor.
Awesome.
I just need to make sure they
correct the press of the jack.
Margot?
Margot?
Damn.
Lady, do you want to put
hey, Mr, you got any spare change?
Dollar, a couple of dollars?
Whatever.
You got to help me out a lot.
Thank you, sir.
God bless.
Hey, lady, could you do me a favor?
What?
Could you stay as beautiful as you are?
Now.
First of all, politically,
he must appoint a woman.
In fact, he told me he
really wants a woman.
Secondly, he's being perceived as soft on
crime because of the recent budget cuts.
So he needs to appoint a killer.
And your win over Rock makes
you high profile right now.
Listen, I'll call Mark Schneider Langley.
Good morning.
Nice to see you again.
Eve stevens.
Langley flyn.
Heard so much about you.
Mostly from me.
Well, I thought it would be exciting
to meet the legal genius in the flesh.
Less than you expected, I'm sure.
Please.
I think we have the same color lipstick.
I don't think so.
This is a new fall color.
Laminar Rouge.
Lemino Rouge.
So it is.
Do you know what that means?
The red pussy.
Tacky, isn't it?
Well, I'm ready for something new.
Going down?
Going up.
Well, maybe we'll see each other soon.
Yan Wallace are very persuasive.
Hi.
Cancel my lunch.
Reschedule it for after the interview
and connect me with John.
John?
Rosie, where is he?
Well, I need him right now.
Okay, I'll call back.
No, fuck it.
I'm coming over.
Don't tell him.
It'll be a surprise.
Hey, Rosie, how are you doing?
Proximity of the site to all major
faults within 100 miles radius.
Right.
Until we do it, we don't know what
the ground acceleration will be.
And the Northridge quake data suggest
it could be as high as 0.8 G.
You have no idea how
much I've missed here.
Yes, that's a big earthquake.
No, I can't be there this afternoon.
I have to go to Utah on a damn project.
Michael.
Michael, there is no way that I am going
to release $300 million for this project
without a proper seismic design.
No, absolutely not.
No, that's inadequate.
Too expensive.
That's illegal.
Michael, michael, that isn't our problem.
I can't do anything about that.
Look, I will be up there tomorrow
afternoon for the closing.
Yes, I need your steady hand desperately.
I promise, if you let us run this
analysis, you will get state approval.
Okay?
All right.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Rosie, tell Stub I'll be
ready for him in a minute.
And call a car for Lax.
Hold all my calls.
You lock the door.
Good girl.
You want to do this?
Hell going back in last time.
I don't care.
I like
Madeline.
Don't forget about Edwin this weekend.
Yeah.
They were so delicate, I couldn't resist.
Edwin used to look so
pretty with long hair.
When are you going to stop chopping at it?
Hate the way it looks.
At least let me even it out.
It's going to be a fuck
of an adolescence with you.
Can I come?
No.
Are you going to be back soon?
Don't know.
This hurts me more than it hurts you're.
Madeline, where are you?
Friday, 02:14 p.m.
Remember about the closing dinner
with Michael in San Francisco tomorrow?
If you're very good, I'll take some
day off and pamper you all day.
Shit about to lose you.
Fine.
Friday, me.
02:48 P.m. Boot.
Eve, I'm a friend of Maddie's.
She's in bad trouble
and I don't know what to do.
She didn't want me to call you, but you're
the only person who can help her.
Could you call me back
as soon as possible?
I'm in Fillmore.
I'm at 8576-1121 Margot.
Eve, move that interview with the Times
for after my meeting with the governor.
Change my four to a phone conference.
I'll call him from the car.
Oh, where the fuck am I going?
You better push my dinner
with Louise tonight to 09:00 p.m..
Where the fuck is Fillmore?
Your sister's in for the weekend,
my friend.
She broke the law.
And the law isn't doing
business till Monday morning.
Who's your superior?
Most everybody,
but none of them can turn the computer on.
Yeah, well, give me his
number at the camp.
This is an emergency.
No.
What?
This is insane.
You mean my client assisted
in jail the entire weekend?
Give me a hot one there.
No, I do not want to leave
a message from Monday.
Fucking idiots.
See if you have a job.
Terrible.
Loud mouth bitch.
Ball buster.
Battle axe.
Strident.
Unfeminine.
Grotesque, out of control.
You a judge?
Never.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Okay, give me.
Give me.
So the detective thinks
we're working together.
So he follows me, pulls out the.
Bracelet and this other
woman, she's nowhere.
To be seen, so he books me.
I never wanted to involve you in this,
but Emma can be such a twit.
Can't believe this is happening.
I'm so sorry, Maddie, but there is
nothing I can do until Monday.
I'm sorry.
I tried.
If this had happened in the city,
you'd be out by now.
My God.
This is insane.
I am defending my thesis on Tuesday.
I have to finish preparing.
Look, Maddie, you have
nothing to worry about.
Believe me.
I'm going to take care of everything here.
Write down everything that you need
and I'll bring it right back to you.
Can't see her again till tomorrow.
Well, can I drop off books?
No.
Why not?
Just a rule.
What the hell kind of rule is that?
The mercy of moron.
I'll be back first thing in the morning.
Okay?
Too bad that this is what it takes
to get you to come and visit.
Hey, now.
So your defense is Tuesday?
I'd forgotten that time.
Give me directions to your place.
Do you stay in my room?
Yeah, why not?
I don't know.
It's just such a mess.
It's hell here.
Is it?
Evie, if you ever tell dad
about this, I'll kill you.
Listen, I called him the other night
to tell him some really great news.
I called at the wrong time.
He practically hung up on me.
He's so mean.
Oh, he just doesn't know any better.
Time errol.
Draw your mess.
Keep the door locked.
Emma has this really weird kid, Ed.
She's always sneaking around.
I don't trust her.
Margot?
Eve.
If anybody asks where I am,
I'm at the dentist.
Can you call John for me?
Tell him there's no way I'm going
to make that San Fran dinner of his.
I don't know.
Tell him that I'm cramming
for the interview or something.
No.
Do not give him this number.
Margot, I tell you, if anybody but you
calls me here, you're worse than fired.
You're dead.
Hi.
Come in.
Emma.
You must be Eve.
Is she all right?
She's fine.
It's all a big mistake, but they
won't let her out until Monday.
Till Monday?
It's awful.
Oh, God.
She was going to watch Ed this weekend.
Well, I have to stay here
tonight if that helps.
Great.
I mean, you don't really
have to watch her.
She is 13.
Let me get you key.
May I use your phone?
No, I'm sorry.
I'm expecting a call.
There's a phone in Maddie's room.
Is this Madeline Stevens?
Rooms are alive.
If I is the square root of negative one
then I squared is negative one
and I cubed is negative i.
What is I to the fourth?
Okay, let's start with something easier.
What is the definition of asymptote?
Come on, Ed.
I don't understand.
You used to be so smart.
I hope I'm not intruding.
Not at all.
Please, sit down.
Would you get Eve a plate?
No, thanks.
I'm really not hungry.
Do you do your own designs?
Oh, I'm working on it.
I'd like to.
I fool around, but not really.
I'm really good at making copies.
So if you ever want anything cheap
excuse me.
I have to get dressed.
Rick will be here soon.
How long has Madeline been staying here?
Two years, one month.
So she's been working on her PhD.
This makes my hips look big.
Let me see.
Have you read it?
It's great.
It's wild.
This little town in Mexico where
the women have all the power.
The awful thing is that they're
also fat and unattractive.
That's what happens in a matriarchy.
So fat.
Keep getting these terrible images of him
crushed behind his steering wheel.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
Does Madeline seem all right to you?
There he is.
How do I look?
I'm going to get him to tie
the knot this weekend.
Emma, about Madeline.
Yeah?
Has anything like this
ever happened before?
Are you serious?
Madeline has never been in trouble.
She is the smartest,
most together woman I know.
Wish me luck.
Very nice to meet you and thanks.
You're a woman.
You're a goddamn woman.
You're edging me out
of my place on the planet.
Kid, come here.
Look at this.
Look at this.
What are you doing hiding
the goods under that moomu?
Oh, don't worry about him.
He's seen it all.
You don't even look in, darling.
Yeah, that's what you all say.
The younger, the better, ain't, Joey?
I brought you
something to show off your assets.
I'll call you.
This probably take weeks.
You got it, baby.
Have fun.
Oh, my God.
You're a woman.
I heard you got the curse.
Come on, I'll show you
how to put that off.
It's Maddie'sister here to save her.
Good morning.
How are you doing?
Did you get me out?
I brought your book.
How was your night?
Did you sleep?
What do you think?
You cannot run away from this.
You're going to need some help.
Madeline, look at me.
What are you talking about?
Come on, Madeline.
I stayed in your room, remember?
Since when do you take a child size five?
Those are emma's.
I'm storing those.
Right.
Then what about the dozen hammers and
the tools and the piles of other stuff?
I've seen a copy of your file.
This has happened before.
Which is why your bail is so high.
Grand larceny is a felony.
You're in deep shit.
And you're taking great delight
in pushing me further down into it.
I am trying to help you.
Right.
Do you think that we could get the nice
guard over there to testify
against me in court?
Do you think that's a possibility?
I'm sorry.
You're right.
What do you want?
Do you want to have me jailed,
disgrace, screwed out of my PhD.
Embarrassed and humiliated for my sins?
Would that give you the opportunity
to feel sympathetic and superior?
Would that give you the big
daddy dick you've always wanted?
I'll be back on Monday.
Ever the saint.
Fuck you.
Good girl.
I dare you not to come back.
Let me get that for you, beautiful.
What are you doing?
I'm going to pump it for you.
Is this the only way you can get girls?
No offense.
I was just playing with you.
But I am going to give you full
service because you're so cute.
I don't want it.
Oh, yes, you do.
You don't want to get gasoline smell
on your nice clothes or your nice skin.
There you go.
You're safe.
I'm standing all the way over here now.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to help you.
Fuck you.
Now you got me scared.
Surprise.
What are you doing here?
Thought you had to work.
I did all morning.
And now I need a break.
Still pissed I'm not coming to the dinner?
Absolutely not.
Good.
Eve, sweetheart,
I love you, but I have to catch you.
11:00 a.m..
Take the noon.
You'll still be on time.
Come on.
I have a bottle of champagne.
I'm feeling positive.
Oh, come on.
Be spontaneous.
There are 900 planes
a day to San Francisco.
Take a later one.
No.
You want to spend the weekend
preparing for your big interview?
You canceled me
can't change your mind now.
It's too late.
I know you are pissed.
I'm not coming.
I'm not having this discussion with you.
No, you're right.
I shouldn't expect to be
able to change the rules.
You go ahead.
I'll be fine.
I'm lost without you.
Why haven't you called me?
I did.
Last night.
You weren't home.
I just left your message.
I need to see you desperately.
Let's see we met in an elevator, right?
We had two drinks, great sex.
You had five orgasms.
I only had three.
And now you are desperate to see me.
Very desperate, doctor.
Well, in my professional opinion,
Ms I'm sorry, what was your last name?
Stevens.
Ms.
Stevens.
Yes.
In my professional opinion, you are a
deeply compulsive and a terribly neurotic,
extremely codependent woman who more than
likely loves too much or too little.
Can't remember which.
Oh, thank God.
Finally somebody understands me.
You free tonight?
Maybe
you just don't remember them, that's all.
It?
No, I never dreamtream.
Well, that's the problem with psychology.
Nothing's concrete.
I prefer the law.
Black and white.
Obey the rules or suffer the consequences.
Guilty or not guilty.
So why you wanted to be a judge?
To enforce the rules?
No.
Ever since I was a little girl,
six years old, in fact,
I always wanted to be a judge because
I wanted to be dressed in that long
black robe with nothing underneath.
Aren't you ever serious?
Oh, I'm very serious
about wanting to fuck.
Eve, look at me.
Look at me.
Where are you?
What are you talking about?
This is going too fast for me.
Okay, come on, we'll slow down.
I will slow down.
Just wait a second.
Renee, wait a minute.
Oh, hi, Eve.
Listen, La, I hope it's okay that I
borrowed your office for a couple
of hours this morning.
Since I'm in transition and without one
wallace suggested it.
Oh, sure, that's fine.
Well, he assured me it would be.
I just needed a quiet place to sit
and contemplate my future for a while.
But I got to run because
I have a plane to catch.
Thanks.
What?
Tell fuck her.
Just what I need.
Harry sweetheart friend called all upset
because his wife's been
arrested for shoplifting.
Any expertise in that area?
Well, Larceny, really
either petty or grand.
Maximum penalty, one year imprisonment.
Hardly ever levied more usual punitive
scenario is payment of fine
and promise of change behavior.
Even if she has priors,
settle with the wall.
Legally, shoplifting isn't a big shrink.
After a rash, shoplifting
diagnosed as a kleptomania.
I'm really sorry, but did I
leave my compact in here?
I didn't see it, but let me check.
Using it right over here.
Oh, here it is.
It must have fallen.
Great.
Might seem silly, all this for a compact,
but it was my mother's,
so I'd be really sad if I lost it.
Even though I leave
the damn thing everywhere.
I understand completely.
Thanks.
Well, I'm really going to be late now.
Bye, Margot.
Eve, I'm going back to my sister's tonight
so I won't have to drive there
and back in the morning.
Remind Wallace to call the senator.
Type up the governor's bio,
and most important, pick up
my suit from the cleaners.
I want you to check it with the
manager standing right there.
And if there is anything wrong, have them
redo it for pickup in the afternoon.
That is my lucky suit.
And if anything is going to get
me the judgeship, it is.
I'm sorry.
I'm back.
You have to leave.
I'm sorry.
I don't think Madeline likes you
in her room when she's not here.
The goal of women who fight
is to lift their adversary's skirt
so that the spectators will see her sex.
To have thick pubic hair
is a political guarantee.
The woman derives her
ferocity from its abundance.
Oh, come on.
Political guarantee?
No such
sorry to bother you.
Can you tell me where to find
a liquor store around here?
Not one that's open.
You mind if I pour myself a drink?
Get her a glass, will you, Add?
Can bum one of your cigarettes.
You closet smoker?
No, I just don't have
an addictive personality.
Anal compulsive problem
you had grandmother.
She's my aunt.
Come on, let's take some
pictures of Enunciata's.
Fabulous gown.
Okay.
Now you can learn to be feminine, too.
It's not something that
comes to you naturally.
You got to work at it.
When I was your age,
I had the grace of a truck driver.
I trained myself to be
feminine and sexy by studying.
Other women.
Just have to practice every day.
You'll get it, believe me.
What are you doing?
Body doubling.
You ever heard of it?
Yeah, of course.
Ugly bodies become perfect by Matt.
I hate him.
Congratulations.
Finally saw the light.
Perfect.
I was so careful, love.
He was telling me how much he wanted me.
Just in the phone, right?
She starts bitching about
money or something like that.
And then he looks at me
like somehow it's my fault.
Hate him.
It's overload.
Ever been married, Eve?
No, never.
Even Maddie?
She hasn't had a boyfriend
for at least a year, you know?
Poor thing.
Well, maybe she's just been busy.
Yeah.
You know eve's, right?
Men take up too much fucking time.
Think how much time you're
going to have now, Emma.
For what?
For your business?
It'll never be anything.
I miss him.
I know he doesn't give as much as I do,
but it's harder for him.
He's scared.
I just love him.
Too much love,
honey, you just got to grab your moment.
When they're not looking.
You grab your 15 minutes of heaven
and don't expect anything more.
Hey, Ed, why don't you put my music on?
Let's show these girls
my new dance routine.
This is all men really care about.
Now, watch closely, girls.
If you do this well, any man will want you
the first thing you got
to remember it's all about power.
You got to make them believe
you got whatever they desire.
You got to be everybody's dream
to everybody.
You got to erase yourself.
You got to become like generic.
Archetypal, whatever.
Come on, shake it, girl.
Come on, shake it, shake it.
I am yours,
Ed.
Walk me home.
A dream.
What a passion you are so wow.
Let's try to see a shooting star.
Look, the man in the moon island.
Told me the moon was a woman.
Yeah, she would.
You don't believe that?
My father showed me the man in the moon
when I was a little girl,
and I believe him.
Are you in third therapy?
Are you?
Where do you want to go?
Trucks downtown.
They're going to nail you this
time unless you get some help.
Your behavior seems pretty
self destructive to me.
And I think maybe when my defense is over,
we can have a nice little
chat about all of this.
But until then, let's not give
them so much power, shall we?
And for once in your life, see if you can
hold off on your judgment of my behavior.
I can pay off the store.
Eve, you're not listening.
That isn't the point.
I'm trying to help you.
But if you don't want it, fuck you.
Morning.
That's not the right attitude.
It's not.
It's.
Hey.
Any last words of advice?
You're perfect and you can't lose.
Oh, Wallace, stop saying that.
Makes me even more nervous.
Go home.
Get your beauty sleep.
Stop worrying.
How can I stop worrying?
I'm afraid that he's going to find
out that I didn't vote for him.
I'm afraid that the year
of the woman is over.
I'm afraid that I am not going.
To listen to this anymore.
You're being ridiculous.
Now go home.
Fuck.
Get a hold of yourself.
Eve.
You scared me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
The door was open.
Can I come in?
Absolutely.
Let me put this away.
I was just about to pour
myself a glass of wine.
I've had such a crazy day.
You want one?
Oh, no, I'm okay.
Thanks.
You?
I wanted to apologize for
for leaving the way I did yesterday.
Is that why you came
all the way over here?
Forget it.
It was actually good for me.
I got a lot done.
Yeah, well, I just felt
I don't know, I felt bad sneaking out
without saying anything, you know?
I mean, I just felt easier at the time.
Look, don't give it another
thought was nothing.
How about a water?
No, thanks.
I'm fine.
I figured a little wine
would help me relax.
I really have to sleep tonight.
Forbid I look haggard for the governor.
There is something else.
I'm really attracted to you,
but I I don't want this
kind of relationship.
I got frightened because
this seems really familiar to me.
I know how to do this.
I know how to do this.
I've been doing it for years,
and I moved here to help myself change.
I don't want to be in this
kind of relationship.
I want a different kind.
I I should go.
Yes.
I have a lot to prepare.
Yeah.
You know,
I thought I should stay here tonight.
I have to be at school early, and I'll
be sharper if I get a good night's rest.
And I knew you wouldn't mind since you've
been staying in my room using my things.
Anyway, I'll be gone for you
and get up in the morning.
You won't even know I've been here.
You see my sunglasses?
I can't be without the tumor.
To you,
bitch.
I think I have a broad base of support
because I'm fair and open minded.
And yet at the same time,
I'm not intimidated by strong opposition.
I'm not afraid of a fight.
You ought to think about politics
instead of the judiciary.
Oh, thank you, Governor,
but I think I'll leave politics
to the masters such as yourself.
I don't like the spotlight that much.
Neither do I.
It's good.
It's very good.
Excellent.
Do you have any family here in California?
That's all right.
Don't worry about that.
Patricia will get that, no problem.
So sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Tell me about your family.
My mother died when I was 13 and my father
remarried recently and retired to Florida.
Oh, yes, I'm familiar with his work.
He's a brilliant thinker.
He's brilliant.
Any brothers or sisters?
One sister working on her
doctorate at UCLA.
You know, there's something I don't
understand, and please don't be offended,
but why haven't you, such a beautiful
woman, ever been married?
Oh,
well, Governor,
I've always been deeply committed
to my work, which involves
extremely long hours.
And I've never really felt that I could
do justice to both a career and a family.
My gosh, that thought
seems very sad to me.
I couldn't imagine life
without my daughters.
Aren't you close with your sister?
Well, we've both been very
busy with our careers.
Yes, but don't you feel isolated?
Do you miss not having a family?
It doesn't matter.
I suppose living alone just gives
you more time to read, doesn't it?
It does.
Come to think of it, I don't know how
we've done it, raising five daughters.
My wife is a saint.
Why the fuck didn't I say I was engaged?
What stupid idiot I am the.
Isolated.
I'm gonna kill her.
I'm gonna fucking kill her.
Fucking bitch.
Fucking bitch.
E scar, I see.
Hey, where are you?
Come on, we having a party.
Going to welcome the new
doctor into the family.
You fucking bitch.
You fucking thank you so much.
I did good and the doctor brought me luck.
I look good in it.
Donut give it to me.
It's mine.
Take it off.
Take it off.
Wait a minute.
Here, let me do it.
There.
Now it's ruined.
I suppose you want to give it to.
Me now, so fuck that.
I can use a joint
called Back, tell him about my PhD.
But he was more interested in how.
Your interview with the governor went.
Come on.
So how'd it go?
I blew it.
Come on.
You never blow anything.
I'm not married.
Stop laughing.
I'm serious.
How can you be?
What does being married have
to do with being a judge?
Do you remember the last time
we took a bath together?
You were acting like a spoiled brat.
You took this really big shit.
I did not.
You got spanked and I got left
in the bathtub with your shit.
Madeline, you're making this up.
We were constipated for months.
You're such a liar.
Well, if it's not about money,
then why it's erotic?
Come on, be serious.
Sexually eclectomaniacs are frigid.
The moment she succeeds in her theft,
she gets an orgasm.
Female sex perversion is a sexually
aberrated woman, as she is 1935,
but something a little more current.
The thefts are attempts to acquire the
superior genital equipment of the father.
In other words, penis.
Henry.
Oh, come on.
Don't be ridiculous.
I've been deprived.
I am not going to have this
kind of discussion with you.
I feel to stop me from killing
myself or anyone.
Why did you lie to me?
I lied to myself.
Why should you be any different?
You look just like mom when she was a kid.
Boy, am I ugly.
Okay.
Watch, dad.
Now he's about to get all pissed off
because he's losing some stupid card game.
He pushed her down.
There was blood in her mouth.
What are you talking about?
Something later that night.
Close
her eyes.
I went to help her.
That's not what happened.
I went to him.
My rope.
My rope is cute.
I'm scared.
Yeah.
Where have you been?
I've been calling your car phone all day.
Well, it's official.
The governor submitted your name to the
state bar committee late this afternoon.
Congratulations.
What are you doing?
I'm burying the baby.
What baby?
The baby that comes out with my period
every month.
A baby tries to take hold,
and then it gets washed away.
I have all my babies buried
here since my first period.
What?
Were you cutting on your leg last night?
Why did you do that?
I wanted to carve hate into my bone.
Sam.
Sam.
Play good case, counselor.
Never.
Never.
I can't stand in the way of justice.
Why do you, then?
Why should I do that?
Because I make you scream.
Who is that at seven in the morning?
Take Mr dinner tonight at Harvey's.
No excuses.
John.
Okay?
The new cleaning woman.
Your Honor,
after the exhaustive and detailed evidence
that has been presented, there is no
doubt, not one shred of doubt, that Mr.
Rock.
Is fully responsible for his company's.
Heinous and clandestine practice
of channeling toxic waste into road fill.
He is a small, mean,
dangerous criminal masquerading as
a sophisticated person of means.
He understands only one thing dominance.
So we as an organized society, under
the rule of the law, must dominate him.
Force is required.
He gives no mercy, therefore,
he deserves no mercy.
The only appropriate course of action,
the only thing he'll respond to is
the seizing of his assets,
his companies, his homes, his money.
This action I recommend.
Should I hear that your life.
I do I don't do anything.
So anything.
Well, I think the people of this city have
been aware china
this result
a blow to the criminal community
and that kind of irresponsibility.
Area.
The mayor special treatment labor.
We are all and during shot
Stevens Senior leaving La criminal Court
today won a stunning upset over
local developer Jake Roberts.
And Miss Stevens is in line for the recent
vacancy on the La court of Appeal.
But first, there has been regular mention
in news coverage about
Miss Stevens presentation.
Dial correspondent Carolyn Stewart
has some thoughts on that.
Carolyn?
Eve.
Leave a message after the beat.
Yeah, hi, it's me.
Maddie, where are you?
They finally appointed a successor
to Dad's philosophy throne, so got all
the crap that was left in his office.
You should see some of it's really wild.
Hey, congratulations.
My defense is in eight
days, so enough said.
Yeah, give me a call.
Okay, bye.
Does this stuff really work?
You could use something.
Your credit card's been rejected.
That's impossible.
I tried twice.
What's that lipstick you have on?
Le minne rouge.
It's our new fall color.
Just came in this morning.
Le Minne.
What's mine?
Pussycat.
The red pussycat mouth.
Try this one.
A little wide through the hips.
Are you finding everything you need?
Okay.
Well,
I'm looking for a scarf for my sister
and see, she's been coveting mine and I
haven't taken it off since
my father gave it to me.
But do you have another
one of these in stock?
It has to be the exact one.
I'm sorry.
We're entirely out of though
she'll be so disappointed.
How about a miracle bra?
I haven't met a girl yet
who doesn't enjoy cleavage.
And these bras are really miraculous.
They create cleavage like
a crevice after an earthquake.
Men just fall right into it.
Oh.
Well, I don't know.
Perhaps you could suggest something else.
We have a brand new line of lace
panties in the latest fog house.
Yes.
Excuse me.
Do you think this is too small for me?
I'll get you a size up, madam.
Thanks.
This is really beautiful,
but I'm afraid it's just not her color.
I hate to ask, could you check
if you had it in a pale peach?
Of course.
I'd love to.
It what the fuck is that?
That's a thank you tip
from the breast cancer Task force.
An appreciation of your pro bono work.
So what am I supposed to do with it?
Display it in my office?
Well, you know, you just press on.
It and you look for the lumps,
and then you well, I think it.
Would make a nice addition
to am I interrupting something?
Just girl stuff.
Did you need me?
Yes.
Margot.
Cancel her noon.
You're going to help me
recruit your replacement.
She's in town only a few days
interviewing, and I want her we'll we'll
see her in here so she can see the office.
What are you talking about?
I spoke to the governor yesterday.
You have not gotten rid of me yet.
Besides, I've got about as much chance
of being appointed to the Court of Appeals
as Jake Rock has of doing
any time in San Quentin.
You're perfect.
Trust me.
Wait.
I have read his message
from the governor's office.
He wants the meeting
the judgeship next Tuesday.
Downtown Courthouse 02:00 P.m..
Oh, my God.
I'm going to be a judge.
I have to go back.
Okay, let's get to work.
I want you to call fictionally.
It'S.
John not here right now,
but if you have this number,
I promise I'll call you back.
Where are you?
Rosie said you'd be back tonight.
I have some really great news, and I do
not want to leave it on your machine.
I'm still in the office.
It's 930.
AROSES, AROSES, arose.
Leave a message.
Mitch.
Eve Stevens.
I want you to send me some big luscious
peonies to me at my office tomorrow.
No card.
No.
Send a card.
Write on it.
Eve.
Congratulations.
Can we still do this when you're a judge?
Don't seal the envelope.
Give Margot a thrill.
Daddy.
It's Evie.
Yeah.
I have some great news.
Who is this?
Daddy, it's me.
It's Evelyn.
I'm sorry.
Did I wake you?
Middle of the night here.
You should know that.
I'm sorry.
I tried earlier,
but there was nobody there.
Daddy, you still there?
What's wrong?
Nothing.
I have some really great news.
Then wait until tomorrow.
Too late now.
Okay, I'll call tomorrow.
I'm sorry.
Go back to sleep.
You
no.
Flavias thighs.
Stinky, rank, rubbery cut
and drooping tiny tips vulgar.
Lascivious, insatiable, beast.
Stupid and devious.
Nothing about you is genuine.
Everyone knows you're a fraud.
I have nothing at all.
Working late?
I'm I'm actually just moving in.
I'm the new doctor in the next suite.
You're not a doctor.
Psychiatrist.
What'd you do, start
medical school at 1518?
Actually, Your Honor.
Oh, my God.
It was you this morning.
Yeah.
Congratulations.
Um people here?
No.
Shut your hand.
Well, I could use a drink.
You could use a drink?
Yeah.
Could you?
You want a drink?
Sure.
Come on.
Come on, Doctor.
I'll give you a drink.
Here's to the first kiss.
The second, and especially the third.
The young doctor.
Awesome.
I just need to make sure they
correct the press of the jack.
Margot?
Margot?
Damn.
Lady, do you want to put
hey, Mr, you got any spare change?
Dollar, a couple of dollars?
Whatever.
You got to help me out a lot.
Thank you, sir.
God bless.
Hey, lady, could you do me a favor?
What?
Could you stay as beautiful as you are?
Now.
First of all, politically,
he must appoint a woman.
In fact, he told me he
really wants a woman.
Secondly, he's being perceived as soft on
crime because of the recent budget cuts.
So he needs to appoint a killer.
And your win over Rock makes
you high profile right now.
Listen, I'll call Mark Schneider Langley.
Good morning.
Nice to see you again.
Eve stevens.
Langley flyn.
Heard so much about you.
Mostly from me.
Well, I thought it would be exciting
to meet the legal genius in the flesh.
Less than you expected, I'm sure.
Please.
I think we have the same color lipstick.
I don't think so.
This is a new fall color.
Laminar Rouge.
Lemino Rouge.
So it is.
Do you know what that means?
The red pussy.
Tacky, isn't it?
Well, I'm ready for something new.
Going down?
Going up.
Well, maybe we'll see each other soon.
Yan Wallace are very persuasive.
Hi.
Cancel my lunch.
Reschedule it for after the interview
and connect me with John.
John?
Rosie, where is he?
Well, I need him right now.
Okay, I'll call back.
No, fuck it.
I'm coming over.
Don't tell him.
It'll be a surprise.
Hey, Rosie, how are you doing?
Proximity of the site to all major
faults within 100 miles radius.
Right.
Until we do it, we don't know what
the ground acceleration will be.
And the Northridge quake data suggest
it could be as high as 0.8 G.
You have no idea how
much I've missed here.
Yes, that's a big earthquake.
No, I can't be there this afternoon.
I have to go to Utah on a damn project.
Michael.
Michael, there is no way that I am going
to release $300 million for this project
without a proper seismic design.
No, absolutely not.
No, that's inadequate.
Too expensive.
That's illegal.
Michael, michael, that isn't our problem.
I can't do anything about that.
Look, I will be up there tomorrow
afternoon for the closing.
Yes, I need your steady hand desperately.
I promise, if you let us run this
analysis, you will get state approval.
Okay?
All right.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Rosie, tell Stub I'll be
ready for him in a minute.
And call a car for Lax.
Hold all my calls.
You lock the door.
Good girl.
You want to do this?
Hell going back in last time.
I don't care.
I like
Madeline.
Don't forget about Edwin this weekend.
Yeah.
They were so delicate, I couldn't resist.
Edwin used to look so
pretty with long hair.
When are you going to stop chopping at it?
Hate the way it looks.
At least let me even it out.
It's going to be a fuck
of an adolescence with you.
Can I come?
No.
Are you going to be back soon?
Don't know.
This hurts me more than it hurts you're.
Madeline, where are you?
Friday, 02:14 p.m.
Remember about the closing dinner
with Michael in San Francisco tomorrow?
If you're very good, I'll take some
day off and pamper you all day.
Shit about to lose you.
Fine.
Friday, me.
02:48 P.m. Boot.
Eve, I'm a friend of Maddie's.
She's in bad trouble
and I don't know what to do.
She didn't want me to call you, but you're
the only person who can help her.
Could you call me back
as soon as possible?
I'm in Fillmore.
I'm at 8576-1121 Margot.
Eve, move that interview with the Times
for after my meeting with the governor.
Change my four to a phone conference.
I'll call him from the car.
Oh, where the fuck am I going?
You better push my dinner
with Louise tonight to 09:00 p.m..
Where the fuck is Fillmore?
Your sister's in for the weekend,
my friend.
She broke the law.
And the law isn't doing
business till Monday morning.
Who's your superior?
Most everybody,
but none of them can turn the computer on.
Yeah, well, give me his
number at the camp.
This is an emergency.
No.
What?
This is insane.
You mean my client assisted
in jail the entire weekend?
Give me a hot one there.
No, I do not want to leave
a message from Monday.
Fucking idiots.
See if you have a job.
Terrible.
Loud mouth bitch.
Ball buster.
Battle axe.
Strident.
Unfeminine.
Grotesque, out of control.
You a judge?
Never.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Okay, give me.
Give me.
So the detective thinks
we're working together.
So he follows me, pulls out the.
Bracelet and this other
woman, she's nowhere.
To be seen, so he books me.
I never wanted to involve you in this,
but Emma can be such a twit.
Can't believe this is happening.
I'm so sorry, Maddie, but there is
nothing I can do until Monday.
I'm sorry.
I tried.
If this had happened in the city,
you'd be out by now.
My God.
This is insane.
I am defending my thesis on Tuesday.
I have to finish preparing.
Look, Maddie, you have
nothing to worry about.
Believe me.
I'm going to take care of everything here.
Write down everything that you need
and I'll bring it right back to you.
Can't see her again till tomorrow.
Well, can I drop off books?
No.
Why not?
Just a rule.
What the hell kind of rule is that?
The mercy of moron.
I'll be back first thing in the morning.
Okay?
Too bad that this is what it takes
to get you to come and visit.
Hey, now.
So your defense is Tuesday?
I'd forgotten that time.
Give me directions to your place.
Do you stay in my room?
Yeah, why not?
I don't know.
It's just such a mess.
It's hell here.
Is it?
Evie, if you ever tell dad
about this, I'll kill you.
Listen, I called him the other night
to tell him some really great news.
I called at the wrong time.
He practically hung up on me.
He's so mean.
Oh, he just doesn't know any better.
Time errol.
Draw your mess.
Keep the door locked.
Emma has this really weird kid, Ed.
She's always sneaking around.
I don't trust her.
Margot?
Eve.
If anybody asks where I am,
I'm at the dentist.
Can you call John for me?
Tell him there's no way I'm going
to make that San Fran dinner of his.
I don't know.
Tell him that I'm cramming
for the interview or something.
No.
Do not give him this number.
Margot, I tell you, if anybody but you
calls me here, you're worse than fired.
You're dead.
Hi.
Come in.
Emma.
You must be Eve.
Is she all right?
She's fine.
It's all a big mistake, but they
won't let her out until Monday.
Till Monday?
It's awful.
Oh, God.
She was going to watch Ed this weekend.
Well, I have to stay here
tonight if that helps.
Great.
I mean, you don't really
have to watch her.
She is 13.
Let me get you key.
May I use your phone?
No, I'm sorry.
I'm expecting a call.
There's a phone in Maddie's room.
Is this Madeline Stevens?
Rooms are alive.
If I is the square root of negative one
then I squared is negative one
and I cubed is negative i.
What is I to the fourth?
Okay, let's start with something easier.
What is the definition of asymptote?
Come on, Ed.
I don't understand.
You used to be so smart.
I hope I'm not intruding.
Not at all.
Please, sit down.
Would you get Eve a plate?
No, thanks.
I'm really not hungry.
Do you do your own designs?
Oh, I'm working on it.
I'd like to.
I fool around, but not really.
I'm really good at making copies.
So if you ever want anything cheap
excuse me.
I have to get dressed.
Rick will be here soon.
How long has Madeline been staying here?
Two years, one month.
So she's been working on her PhD.
This makes my hips look big.
Let me see.
Have you read it?
It's great.
It's wild.
This little town in Mexico where
the women have all the power.
The awful thing is that they're
also fat and unattractive.
That's what happens in a matriarchy.
So fat.
Keep getting these terrible images of him
crushed behind his steering wheel.
I'm sure he'll be fine.
Does Madeline seem all right to you?
There he is.
How do I look?
I'm going to get him to tie
the knot this weekend.
Emma, about Madeline.
Yeah?
Has anything like this
ever happened before?
Are you serious?
Madeline has never been in trouble.
She is the smartest,
most together woman I know.
Wish me luck.
Very nice to meet you and thanks.
You're a woman.
You're a goddamn woman.
You're edging me out
of my place on the planet.
Kid, come here.
Look at this.
Look at this.
What are you doing hiding
the goods under that moomu?
Oh, don't worry about him.
He's seen it all.
You don't even look in, darling.
Yeah, that's what you all say.
The younger, the better, ain't, Joey?
I brought you
something to show off your assets.
I'll call you.
This probably take weeks.
You got it, baby.
Have fun.
Oh, my God.
You're a woman.
I heard you got the curse.
Come on, I'll show you
how to put that off.
It's Maddie'sister here to save her.
Good morning.
How are you doing?
Did you get me out?
I brought your book.
How was your night?
Did you sleep?
What do you think?
You cannot run away from this.
You're going to need some help.
Madeline, look at me.
What are you talking about?
Come on, Madeline.
I stayed in your room, remember?
Since when do you take a child size five?
Those are emma's.
I'm storing those.
Right.
Then what about the dozen hammers and
the tools and the piles of other stuff?
I've seen a copy of your file.
This has happened before.
Which is why your bail is so high.
Grand larceny is a felony.
You're in deep shit.
And you're taking great delight
in pushing me further down into it.
I am trying to help you.
Right.
Do you think that we could get the nice
guard over there to testify
against me in court?
Do you think that's a possibility?
I'm sorry.
You're right.
What do you want?
Do you want to have me jailed,
disgrace, screwed out of my PhD.
Embarrassed and humiliated for my sins?
Would that give you the opportunity
to feel sympathetic and superior?
Would that give you the big
daddy dick you've always wanted?
I'll be back on Monday.
Ever the saint.
Fuck you.
Good girl.
I dare you not to come back.
Let me get that for you, beautiful.
What are you doing?
I'm going to pump it for you.
Is this the only way you can get girls?
No offense.
I was just playing with you.
But I am going to give you full
service because you're so cute.
I don't want it.
Oh, yes, you do.
You don't want to get gasoline smell
on your nice clothes or your nice skin.
There you go.
You're safe.
I'm standing all the way over here now.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to help you.
Fuck you.
Now you got me scared.
Surprise.
What are you doing here?
Thought you had to work.
I did all morning.
And now I need a break.
Still pissed I'm not coming to the dinner?
Absolutely not.
Good.
Eve, sweetheart,
I love you, but I have to catch you.
11:00 a.m..
Take the noon.
You'll still be on time.
Come on.
I have a bottle of champagne.
I'm feeling positive.
Oh, come on.
Be spontaneous.
There are 900 planes
a day to San Francisco.
Take a later one.
No.
You want to spend the weekend
preparing for your big interview?
You canceled me
can't change your mind now.
It's too late.
I know you are pissed.
I'm not coming.
I'm not having this discussion with you.
No, you're right.
I shouldn't expect to be
able to change the rules.
You go ahead.
I'll be fine.
I'm lost without you.
Why haven't you called me?
I did.
Last night.
You weren't home.
I just left your message.
I need to see you desperately.
Let's see we met in an elevator, right?
We had two drinks, great sex.
You had five orgasms.
I only had three.
And now you are desperate to see me.
Very desperate, doctor.
Well, in my professional opinion,
Ms I'm sorry, what was your last name?
Stevens.
Ms.
Stevens.
Yes.
In my professional opinion, you are a
deeply compulsive and a terribly neurotic,
extremely codependent woman who more than
likely loves too much or too little.
Can't remember which.
Oh, thank God.
Finally somebody understands me.
You free tonight?
Maybe
you just don't remember them, that's all.
It?
No, I never dreamtream.
Well, that's the problem with psychology.
Nothing's concrete.
I prefer the law.
Black and white.
Obey the rules or suffer the consequences.
Guilty or not guilty.
So why you wanted to be a judge?
To enforce the rules?
No.
Ever since I was a little girl,
six years old, in fact,
I always wanted to be a judge because
I wanted to be dressed in that long
black robe with nothing underneath.
Aren't you ever serious?
Oh, I'm very serious
about wanting to fuck.
Eve, look at me.
Look at me.
Where are you?
What are you talking about?
This is going too fast for me.
Okay, come on, we'll slow down.
I will slow down.
Just wait a second.
Renee, wait a minute.
Oh, hi, Eve.
Listen, La, I hope it's okay that I
borrowed your office for a couple
of hours this morning.
Since I'm in transition and without one
wallace suggested it.
Oh, sure, that's fine.
Well, he assured me it would be.
I just needed a quiet place to sit
and contemplate my future for a while.
But I got to run because
I have a plane to catch.
Thanks.
What?
Tell fuck her.
Just what I need.
Harry sweetheart friend called all upset
because his wife's been
arrested for shoplifting.
Any expertise in that area?
Well, Larceny, really
either petty or grand.
Maximum penalty, one year imprisonment.
Hardly ever levied more usual punitive
scenario is payment of fine
and promise of change behavior.
Even if she has priors,
settle with the wall.
Legally, shoplifting isn't a big shrink.
After a rash, shoplifting
diagnosed as a kleptomania.
I'm really sorry, but did I
leave my compact in here?
I didn't see it, but let me check.
Using it right over here.
Oh, here it is.
It must have fallen.
Great.
Might seem silly, all this for a compact,
but it was my mother's,
so I'd be really sad if I lost it.
Even though I leave
the damn thing everywhere.
I understand completely.
Thanks.
Well, I'm really going to be late now.
Bye, Margot.
Eve, I'm going back to my sister's tonight
so I won't have to drive there
and back in the morning.
Remind Wallace to call the senator.
Type up the governor's bio,
and most important, pick up
my suit from the cleaners.
I want you to check it with the
manager standing right there.
And if there is anything wrong, have them
redo it for pickup in the afternoon.
That is my lucky suit.
And if anything is going to get
me the judgeship, it is.
I'm sorry.
I'm back.
You have to leave.
I'm sorry.
I don't think Madeline likes you
in her room when she's not here.
The goal of women who fight
is to lift their adversary's skirt
so that the spectators will see her sex.
To have thick pubic hair
is a political guarantee.
The woman derives her
ferocity from its abundance.
Oh, come on.
Political guarantee?
No such
sorry to bother you.
Can you tell me where to find
a liquor store around here?
Not one that's open.
You mind if I pour myself a drink?
Get her a glass, will you, Add?
Can bum one of your cigarettes.
You closet smoker?
No, I just don't have
an addictive personality.
Anal compulsive problem
you had grandmother.
She's my aunt.
Come on, let's take some
pictures of Enunciata's.
Fabulous gown.
Okay.
Now you can learn to be feminine, too.
It's not something that
comes to you naturally.
You got to work at it.
When I was your age,
I had the grace of a truck driver.
I trained myself to be
feminine and sexy by studying.
Other women.
Just have to practice every day.
You'll get it, believe me.
What are you doing?
Body doubling.
You ever heard of it?
Yeah, of course.
Ugly bodies become perfect by Matt.
I hate him.
Congratulations.
Finally saw the light.
Perfect.
I was so careful, love.
He was telling me how much he wanted me.
Just in the phone, right?
She starts bitching about
money or something like that.
And then he looks at me
like somehow it's my fault.
Hate him.
It's overload.
Ever been married, Eve?
No, never.
Even Maddie?
She hasn't had a boyfriend
for at least a year, you know?
Poor thing.
Well, maybe she's just been busy.
Yeah.
You know eve's, right?
Men take up too much fucking time.
Think how much time you're
going to have now, Emma.
For what?
For your business?
It'll never be anything.
I miss him.
I know he doesn't give as much as I do,
but it's harder for him.
He's scared.
I just love him.
Too much love,
honey, you just got to grab your moment.
When they're not looking.
You grab your 15 minutes of heaven
and don't expect anything more.
Hey, Ed, why don't you put my music on?
Let's show these girls
my new dance routine.
This is all men really care about.
Now, watch closely, girls.
If you do this well, any man will want you
the first thing you got
to remember it's all about power.
You got to make them believe
you got whatever they desire.
You got to be everybody's dream
to everybody.
You got to erase yourself.
You got to become like generic.
Archetypal, whatever.
Come on, shake it, girl.
Come on, shake it, shake it.
I am yours,
Ed.
Walk me home.
A dream.
What a passion you are so wow.
Let's try to see a shooting star.
Look, the man in the moon island.
Told me the moon was a woman.
Yeah, she would.
You don't believe that?
My father showed me the man in the moon
when I was a little girl,
and I believe him.
Are you in third therapy?
Are you?
Where do you want to go?
Trucks downtown.
They're going to nail you this
time unless you get some help.
Your behavior seems pretty
self destructive to me.
And I think maybe when my defense is over,
we can have a nice little
chat about all of this.
But until then, let's not give
them so much power, shall we?
And for once in your life, see if you can
hold off on your judgment of my behavior.
I can pay off the store.
Eve, you're not listening.
That isn't the point.
I'm trying to help you.
But if you don't want it, fuck you.
Morning.
That's not the right attitude.
It's not.
It's.
Hey.
Any last words of advice?
You're perfect and you can't lose.
Oh, Wallace, stop saying that.
Makes me even more nervous.
Go home.
Get your beauty sleep.
Stop worrying.
How can I stop worrying?
I'm afraid that he's going to find
out that I didn't vote for him.
I'm afraid that the year
of the woman is over.
I'm afraid that I am not going.
To listen to this anymore.
You're being ridiculous.
Now go home.
Fuck.
Get a hold of yourself.
Eve.
You scared me.
Oh, I'm sorry.
The door was open.
Can I come in?
Absolutely.
Let me put this away.
I was just about to pour
myself a glass of wine.
I've had such a crazy day.
You want one?
Oh, no, I'm okay.
Thanks.
You?
I wanted to apologize for
for leaving the way I did yesterday.
Is that why you came
all the way over here?
Forget it.
It was actually good for me.
I got a lot done.
Yeah, well, I just felt
I don't know, I felt bad sneaking out
without saying anything, you know?
I mean, I just felt easier at the time.
Look, don't give it another
thought was nothing.
How about a water?
No, thanks.
I'm fine.
I figured a little wine
would help me relax.
I really have to sleep tonight.
Forbid I look haggard for the governor.
There is something else.
I'm really attracted to you,
but I I don't want this
kind of relationship.
I got frightened because
this seems really familiar to me.
I know how to do this.
I know how to do this.
I've been doing it for years,
and I moved here to help myself change.
I don't want to be in this
kind of relationship.
I want a different kind.
I I should go.
Yes.
I have a lot to prepare.
Yeah.
You know,
I thought I should stay here tonight.
I have to be at school early, and I'll
be sharper if I get a good night's rest.
And I knew you wouldn't mind since you've
been staying in my room using my things.
Anyway, I'll be gone for you
and get up in the morning.
You won't even know I've been here.
You see my sunglasses?
I can't be without the tumor.
To you,
bitch.
I think I have a broad base of support
because I'm fair and open minded.
And yet at the same time,
I'm not intimidated by strong opposition.
I'm not afraid of a fight.
You ought to think about politics
instead of the judiciary.
Oh, thank you, Governor,
but I think I'll leave politics
to the masters such as yourself.
I don't like the spotlight that much.
Neither do I.
It's good.
It's very good.
Excellent.
Do you have any family here in California?
That's all right.
Don't worry about that.
Patricia will get that, no problem.
So sorry.
Don't worry about it.
Tell me about your family.
My mother died when I was 13 and my father
remarried recently and retired to Florida.
Oh, yes, I'm familiar with his work.
He's a brilliant thinker.
He's brilliant.
Any brothers or sisters?
One sister working on her
doctorate at UCLA.
You know, there's something I don't
understand, and please don't be offended,
but why haven't you, such a beautiful
woman, ever been married?
Oh,
well, Governor,
I've always been deeply committed
to my work, which involves
extremely long hours.
And I've never really felt that I could
do justice to both a career and a family.
My gosh, that thought
seems very sad to me.
I couldn't imagine life
without my daughters.
Aren't you close with your sister?
Well, we've both been very
busy with our careers.
Yes, but don't you feel isolated?
Do you miss not having a family?
It doesn't matter.
I suppose living alone just gives
you more time to read, doesn't it?
It does.
Come to think of it, I don't know how
we've done it, raising five daughters.
My wife is a saint.
Why the fuck didn't I say I was engaged?
What stupid idiot I am the.
Isolated.
I'm gonna kill her.
I'm gonna fucking kill her.
Fucking bitch.
Fucking bitch.
E scar, I see.
Hey, where are you?
Come on, we having a party.
Going to welcome the new
doctor into the family.
You fucking bitch.
You fucking thank you so much.
I did good and the doctor brought me luck.
I look good in it.
Donut give it to me.
It's mine.
Take it off.
Take it off.
Wait a minute.
Here, let me do it.
There.
Now it's ruined.
I suppose you want to give it to.
Me now, so fuck that.
I can use a joint
called Back, tell him about my PhD.
But he was more interested in how.
Your interview with the governor went.
Come on.
So how'd it go?
I blew it.
Come on.
You never blow anything.
I'm not married.
Stop laughing.
I'm serious.
How can you be?
What does being married have
to do with being a judge?
Do you remember the last time
we took a bath together?
You were acting like a spoiled brat.
You took this really big shit.
I did not.
You got spanked and I got left
in the bathtub with your shit.
Madeline, you're making this up.
We were constipated for months.
You're such a liar.
Well, if it's not about money,
then why it's erotic?
Come on, be serious.
Sexually eclectomaniacs are frigid.
The moment she succeeds in her theft,
she gets an orgasm.
Female sex perversion is a sexually
aberrated woman, as she is 1935,
but something a little more current.
The thefts are attempts to acquire the
superior genital equipment of the father.
In other words, penis.
Henry.
Oh, come on.
Don't be ridiculous.
I've been deprived.
I am not going to have this
kind of discussion with you.
I feel to stop me from killing
myself or anyone.
Why did you lie to me?
I lied to myself.
Why should you be any different?
You look just like mom when she was a kid.
Boy, am I ugly.
Okay.
Watch, dad.
Now he's about to get all pissed off
because he's losing some stupid card game.
He pushed her down.
There was blood in her mouth.
What are you talking about?
Something later that night.
Close
her eyes.
I went to help her.
That's not what happened.
I went to him.
My rope.
My rope is cute.
I'm scared.
Yeah.
Where have you been?
I've been calling your car phone all day.
Well, it's official.
The governor submitted your name to the
state bar committee late this afternoon.
Congratulations.
What are you doing?
I'm burying the baby.
What baby?
The baby that comes out with my period
every month.
A baby tries to take hold,
and then it gets washed away.
I have all my babies buried
here since my first period.
What?
Were you cutting on your leg last night?
Why did you do that?
I wanted to carve hate into my bone.
Sam.
Sam.
