💬 Less Than Zero (1987)

A couple hours sleep, I'll be a new me.

After dinner, a few parties.

After that?

Ah, Jenny, I've been sitting by the phone, but it didn't ring.

Ahem!

Ahh!

Ahh.

Aim...

Alice, too.

All I can see is someone who needs to even out. You want a drink?

All of them.

All right, bye.

All right, I'll be home much later.

All right, I'll call Betty Ford, get him a room.

All right, thanks. I'll see you later.

All right.

All right. You need anything?

All the kids had grown up.

All the time.

Always a pleasure.

Always leaving, you.

Always.

And Alice.

And as we hope to be.

And for coming together so that we might...

And happiness you desire.

And he was OK.

And I want you to come with me.

And I was here.

And it was awful.

And just help me.

And you know something? It's got nothing to do with you.

And you're not?

And?

Anybody else would have cut him off a long time ago.

Anything I can do for you?

Anytime.

Are you coming home for Christmas?

Are you dealing?

Are you gonna stay a while?

Are you planning to go to college?

Are you playing tennis?

Are you ready to work for me tonight?

Are you staying in school?

As soon as the club deal goes through, I'm recashing you every penny.

At least you tried. Here, take a couple of these.

At the loft with Blair.

Basically, uh

Be careful.

Be good to her. She really deserves it.

Be nice to Julian, would you, please?

Beautiful.

Because I don't want to.

Because I'm afraid to, OK?

Because I'm afraid, OK? I am.

Better late than never, right? Anyway, I'm outta here.

Bill Billy. He's very cool.

Bill. You know him?

Bill's gonna take you there.

Bitch!

Blair was good to me.

Blair, how you doin'?

Blair, it's Markie.

Blair, where's your tux?

Blair! Who's this guy on your neck?

Blair.

Blair's upstairs.

Both of you. I mean it. Bye.

Bread and butter.

Business? Like sales? I can do that.

Business.

Bustin' your butt for Julian is a waste of time.

But do I look good?

But he wouldn't give up.

But I need you to help me, too.

But I've heard all this before.

But if you just give me a chance

But it's still pretty fuckin' important.

But they're not like me. So don't make me beg.

But what he's done thusly is left behind a gold mine.

Bye, Blair.

Bye.

Call me when you get back.

Can you stay clean for one week?

Can't hold.

Can't we just stay together?

Can't you tell when I'm telling the truth?

Catch this!

Changed my mind.

Check me out. I'm going to make a serious comeback.

Cheer up, will you? It's Christmas.

Christ, I thought I did.

Cindy.

Clay, come on!

Clay, I'm fucked, all right?

Clay!

Clay...

Code 13472.

Come here, baby. Sit up.

Come here!

Come here.

Come in.

Come inside.

Come on in, OK? See?

Come on up.

Come on, Clay Easton, Julian Wells

Come on, Clay. Old habits never die.

Come on! Come on!

Come on.

Come on. Come on.

Come on. Dad lacks a certain amount of imagination.

Come on. Julian, sit up, OK?

Come to my house for dinner.

Come with me. Leave with me. I'll take you back to school.

Congratulations, class of'87.

Congratulations. This is the way it's supposed to be.

Consider it a graduation gift.

Cool.

Dad?

Dad.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Did you know you have television sets between your legs?

Do you ever think about me?

Do you know where he is? 'Cause we called the loft, and I can't

Do you want to go out tonight? We could go to some clubs.

Do you?

Don't deal to him, don't give it to him, don't fucking go near him.

Don't forget the high IQ pussy,

Don't fuck off. Don't be a bum.

Don't look so surly.

Don't worry about it, all right?

Drink this.

Even Steven.

Everyone is accountable!

Everything just changed so quickly.

Everything.

Everything's going to be just fine.

Extremely.

Fade into memory

Find him. Bring him back.

Five or six people.

For one damn week?

Forget about her and go east, young man.

Frank Sinatra.

Fuck you.

Fuck!

Fuckin' game show.

Fuckin' run away.

Get out

Get out of the house!

Get that stuff off before Ma sees you.

Girls in flannel nightgowns,

Girls learn this really early.

Give her my love.

Give me a new excuse, at least.

Good catch!

Good luck, good life.

Good reason.

Good.

Got a minute, sweetheart?

Got a stogy for me?

Got two more stops. Then we'll call it a night.

Graduates.

Great!

Great.

Great. Great.

Ha ha ha!

Ha ha ha! Ready?

Ha ha!

Happy holidays, sport.

Happy Thanksgiving, Julian.

Harder than I thought.

Have a seat.

Have just become a fully financed record producer.

Have you seen Julian?

He borrowed money from Rip.

He carried it around for a year,

He did everything he could to keep it going.

He disappears and comes back like nothing happened.

He doesn't want my help.

He got high all the time.

He hasn't slept with anybody. He's a nun!

He is not a slut.

He just sat by the phone because his mom used to call him every day

He misses you

He slept with Kim once.

He was a tough little kid.

He was supposed to be here, but I guess his plane was delayed.

He went home.

He worked day and night.

He'd just promise me he'd get better, and then he'd start all over again.

He'll just start all over again.

He's an old friend.

He's bringing the car around.

He's wasted all the time.

Hello, Clay.

Hello, Julian.

Hello.

Here, that's yours.

Hey, Clay!

Hey, congratulations!

Hey, don't underappreciate my efforts, okay?

Hey, Eddie.

Hey, nice tan.

Hey, Rip.

Hey, Trent.

Hey, what is this?

Hey!

Hey.

Hi, Blair. You look great.

Hi, Clay, it's me. Are you home yet?

Hi, Clay.

Hi, Dad.

Hi, honey.

Hi, it's Julian.

Hi, it's me. It's early, huh? It's late for me.

Hi, Miss Simpson, how are you?

Hi.

Honey, hold on.

Hope so.

Hot cocoa, girls with woolen knee socks.

How about here?

How do you feel?

How long is this going to last?

How much do you have?

How much?

How you doin'?

How you doing? You look great.

How's M.I.T.?

How's your father, Blair?

Huh?

I always wondered about the glamorous life of a fashion model.

I am not the problem here.

I asked you to talk to him.

I barely survived high school.

I brought you a present.

I can quit anytime.

I can't believe we won't be together.

I can't do that.

I can't get that much

I can't go.

I can't leave now.

I can't loan you the money.

I can't...

I could try.

I did everything

I did the best I could do.

I didn't expect to see you here.

I didn't know who else to call.

I do.

I don't know what to do. You're the only one.

I don't know where I'm going to get it.

I don't know you.

I don't know, Rip. Good customers though, huh?

I don't know.

I don't know. I'm talking to my dad. I'm gonna work it out.

I don't need a discussion on the finer points of morality!

I don't remember him.

I don't think he ever really, you know, failed before.

I don't want to trust you.

I feel like Tiny fuckin' Tim.

I fucked up. I don't have any money.

I got two sons. I can't afford any more.

I guess I needed somebody, too.

I guess so.

I have a brief announcement.

I haven't decided yet.

I hope not.

I hope so.

I just got here.

I just got this uncontrollable urge to fall down.

I just know I can.

I just like dropped by,

I just need you to be my father for one goddamn day

I just want my 50K.

I just want to see you.

I just want you to know that I know how much you've helped me.

I just want you to meet some people.

I just want you to wish me luck, whether you believe me or not.

I just wish that you knew.

I know that's a big surprise, but I'm gonna try to work it out.

I know what girls like.

I know what you're doing. I know what Julian is doing.

I know, but it is a sure thing.

I know.

I know. I know. That's cool.

I left your present on the table.

I let it slide.

I love you guys!

I love you, but I am leaving as soon as I can.

I love you.

I mean, some of the time we did.

I miss you.

I missed you.

I need to see you, Clay.

I need your help. I need some dough.

I remember Julian showing it to me.

I saw him go inside.

I spoke with your father. There's no way I can

I suspect you're freezing me out.

I think it was exactly the same.

I think you'd be surprised at what you can do, Julian.

I thought I looked pale.

I thought this was all cool.

I thought you were staying longer.

I took care of him.

I tried a different wrap, but, you know.

I want nothing from you.

I want to go home, okay?

I want to provide it for them, at a reasonable fee, of course.

I want you to do a favor for me.

I want you to know that I, Julian Wells,

I want you to stop me before I say something grotesquely sentimental.

I wanted to.

I was hoping we could spend some time together.

I was lonely, and I needed somebody.

I was wondering if I could stay at home tonight.

I will beg. Blair will plead.

I wish you all the health, prosperity...

I worked really hard for all this.

I would love to wake up and know where I am.

I wouldn't ask, except that my options are kind of limited right now.

I'd appreciate it if you'd stay out of my fuckin' business.

I'd get so angry, but it didn't do any good.

I'll be back in a few seconds.

I'll be one minute, OK?

I'll be right back.

I'll be right out.

I'll bet. How much?

I'll call the police.

I'll call you before I go.

I'll do everything I can to help you,

I'll do whatever I can, whatever it takes.

I'll do whatever you want.

I'll get the money.

I'll get the money. You just leave him alone, asshole.

I'll handle it!

I'll see you at Alana's party.

I'll see you at dinner?

I'll see you later.

I'll see you Monday.

I'll sell my car, whatever it takes.

I'll take him with me if I have to.

I'm all right.

I'm Bill.

I'm carrying you like I'm stupid.

I'm glad.

I'm going to deserve your friendship.

I'm going to go.

I'm going to miss him so much.

I'm going to school in a week, and I want you to come with me.

I'm going to school in a week, and I'm shoving your ass in the suitcase.

I'm gonna clean up. I'm probably going back into rehab.

I'm gonna talk to Rip, settle some business

I'm gonna try to do something right for once. I mean it.

I'm having trouble at home.

I'm here.

I'm hoping for a little seasonal caroling myself.

I'm impressed.

I'm in the tub.

I'm just gonna get my life under control.

I'm lookin' for Julian.

I'm not buying.

I'm not coming after you.

I'm not going to college. I'm staying here.

I'm not gonna leave.

I'm not sad.

I'm not your friend, and I'm tired of your bullshit. You leave Julian alone.

I'm not.

I'm out of here, guys.

I'm out of here.

I'm real tired. I'm going to go to bed.

I'm seriously getting frustrated with these questions.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I really am.

I'm sorry. This is stupid.

I'm starting to get all the great jobs.

I'm taking off right after Christmas.

I'm talking Panic addicts

I'm telling you that as a friend.

I'm your son. I'm sleepy.

I've been busy.

I've been patient.

I've heard this shit before!

I've met a lot of new and interesting people.

If you quit college, we could work together.

If you want a new bar, get rid of the flecks.

Impossible.

Is he around?

It didn't take much time to fuck my best friend.

It doesn't matter anymore.

It doesn't matter. Forget it.

It pains me deeply to accuse, but I just

It was weird.

It wasn't exactly the World Series of love, though.

It wasn't like it was when we were there.

It won't make any difference.

It'd be a nice change of pace for me.

It'll stop you from throwing up.

It's a better environment for Clay, all things considered.

It's a coyote.

It's a time for family, for friends.

It's a time for forgetting our differences,

It's all gonna seem groovy.

It's all the control I need.

It's an old family tradition here.

It's beautiful here.

It's been a long time.

It's Christmas, you know.

It's clearly also a time for incoherent toasts.

It's just a party.

It's low overhead. There's high volume.

It's not gonna happen again.

It's not just investing in a club.

It's not like you remember. Talk to him.

It's not the same with you and me.

It's not the same.

It's one barrel, two shots, huh?

It's over.

It's over. I'm quitting. I'm not gonna work for you anymore.

It's safe inside. It's home.

It's the flip side of cleanliness,

It's the most strictly controlled all money business.

It's weird and stimulating.

Jesus.

Jul

Julian didn't cry, though, or nothin'.

Julian has a problem. What makes you think you're so different?

Julian is.

Julian needed somebody.

Julian needs you, Clay. He was always there for you.

Julian was so hurt.

Julian would be better off somewhere else.

Julian, don't start.

Julian, make an effort.

Julian, this cannot go on forever.

Julian, we've been through this a hundred times.

Julian, where you been hiding?

Julian, who the fuck do you think you're talking to?

Julian!

Julian?

Julian.

Julian...

Julian's been doing that since he was 10.

Julian's dead. Forget about him.

Julian's in the back.

Just a couple minutes.

Just checking to see if you need a ride to the Springs.

Just give me a second. You're a father, I'm a son.

Just hold on.

Just hook me.

Just like me.

Just stay here till I'm out, OK?

Just wait here, OK?

Just wait.

Just watching.

Keep on your toes. Nobody likes a complacent parent.

Kids who want fake fashion, loud music every weekend religiously.

Kim, here.

L.L. Bean.

Leave him alone.

Legends, baby.

Let me get back to you.

Let's do it!

Let's lie down right here.

Liar.

Like a game show host?

Like it was from his mother,

Like you?

Limited edition stuff.

Listen, leave Julian alone.

Listen, uh...

Listen, you must party with Julian and Blair.

Listen. If I don't see you, merry Christmas.

Live your life anywhere but here.

Liz, Jenny...

Look what you've done to our family.

Look.

Make me understand, Julian. I really want to understand.

Man, I had it all worked out.

Markie, a photo for posterity.

May we all love each other as we are

Maybe we missed.

Maybe Zuma Markie's party.

Me, too.

Me?

Merry Christmas, and thank you for last night.

Merry Christmas.

Mm.

Mmm.

Modeling? Why don't you try something more challenging,

Mom Easton,

Mom. Anybody home?

Mr. Benjamin Wells, the greatest dad in dad history.

Mr. Wells finally kicked him out.

Mr. Wells, he called all our parents, but nothing worked.

My dad'll be there, and the whole family.

My God, you look terrible.

My head feels like a frozen pineapple.

My most lofty ambition is to deal.

My mother's jewelry.

My office.

My tact. Just don't.

Needed time, Blair?

Nice ride there.

Nightclubs?

Ninth and Figueroa.

No My elbow.

No, 101, actually.

No, actually, I can't. I made other plans.

No, come on. It's safe here.

No, he gets really sick.

No, I don't.

No, I don't. I just need to get outta here.

No, I gotta go.

No, I haven't.

No, I'm about to own it.

No, I'm fine.

No, I'm not.

No, man, I haven't seen him.

No, man, uh uh.

No, no, it's too crowded.

No, not beautiful beautiful

No, you don't.

No, you're not. This is the holiday hour.

No!

No.

Nobody can say anything to Julian.

Nobody could get Julian away from the telephone.

Nobody's from Palm Springs.

Not here!

Not if he leaves.

Not right away.

Not yet.

Nothing a little coke won't

Nothing helped.

Nothing like a small, intimate gathering among friends.

Nothing!

Nothing.

Now tell me where the fuck Julian is so I can get back to business.

Now, listen to me.

Now, that's a surprise, Julian.

Of course, but I am not into investing into clubs.

Oh, and then she laughs.

Oh, been waiting for ages.

Oh, darn.

Oh, God!

Oh, God. Oh, God.

Oh, it's Christmas.

Oh, Julian is a mess. He's out of control.

Oh, let's walk with one another.

Oh, man, what a waste!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my neck is killing me.

Oh, no, don't, please.

Oh, parking is key.

Oh, this is my club.

Oh, we just drove out.

Oh, we're here.

Oh, what do I do?

Oh, yes. How to seduce Blair without really trying.

Oh, you, too.

Oh!

Oh.

Ohh...

Ohhh.

OK, baby, hold on.

Ok, fine. It's your loss.

OK, hold on.

OK, I'm gonna go.

OK, just for a minute. I gotta get back into town.

OK?

OK.

OK. See? You're home.

Okay, great.

Old dealers?

Old trouble or new trouble?

Once he faced his father, he was so fucked up

One last thought before the bright halls of high school

Patience is next to godliness.

Play handball with the Wall Street guys.

Please don't cut me off.

Please don't make me do this. I can't do it again.

Please drive.

Please.

Police even came here once looking for him

Put it down.

Putting shit up my nose till it bleeds, no matter how much my friends care?

Quench that thirst for revenge?

Ready?

Refresh my memory.

Relax. I'll pay you. Just trust me.

Relax. Relax, sport. Julian will show his face. He always does.

Remember the infamous coffee cup?

Richard.

Rip did this.

Rip is over at the Laurel Palms. Julian might be there.

Rip, how long have we known each other?

Rip's looking for me.

Robbie nobb?

Rusty pipes.

Sammy!

Santa's gonna put a suntan in my stocking.

Saying that she had died and gone to heaven.

School.

School. I did.

See you at Trends. Bye.

See you later.

Seen Julian?

She was there. It was nice.

Shh. Just take a deep breath.

Shit, man, you did it to yourself!.

Shit.

Sign the contracts for next week's shoot.

So how's school?

So one day, Mr. Wells, he sent Julian a telegram

Some kind of Eastern philosophy?

Somebody's looking for you.

Someday we're gonna look back on this.

Sorry, I can't.

Stay here. I'll be back.

Stay out of it!

Still pissed?

Still, don't you think a little goddamn consolation is in order?

Stop! Leave him alone!

Sure.

Surely.

Swear?

Sweetheart, you seen Julian?

Take a nap.

Take care of Blair for me.

Take care of the flecks.

Tequila shot, and a shotgun for my buddy.

Thank you for taking care of me.

Thank you, Elaine, for having us in your home.

Thank you.

Thank you. This is too great.

Thanks, Elaine.

Thanks, man.

Thanks, sweetheart.

Thanks.

That I could do.

That record deal fell apart. He lost his money his father gave him.

That's a a lovely dress.

That's a really cool tux.

That's another surprise!

That's it. I wanted you to hear it from me.

That's what it's been like while you were gone.

That's what you're really good at.

The D.J. will show you around, let you listen to the sound system.

The difference is that I mean it this time.

The door was open.

The ex owner is now into conceptual art another good money move

The fact is, I never thought

The hit list.

The party was better last year.

The soap is fine.

The three of us like high school.

The three of us together, seeing you again.

There are flecks on her neck.

There's no reason to stay in L.A.

There's the smile. It's nice to see it again.

There's this guy I owe a large sum of money to.

These are very important people, Julian.

They break guys' hearts in pieces.

They go to jail, right?

They just hibernate.

They really belong to the company.

They're like kind of collector's items.

They're very cool. You'll like them.

Things didn't work out the way I thought.

Think they miss us?

This cocaine... too much speed or something.

This doesn't mean you're not my favorite nephew.

This is a matter of great consequence and potential global expansion.

This is great, isn't it?

This is not just any nightclub.

Less Than Zero (1987)
Less Than Zero is a 1987 film that delves into the dark underbelly of the 1980s Los Angeles party scene. Adapted from a novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the movie presents a harrowing tale of debauchery, addiction, and the erosion of youth under the weight of excessive wealth and privilege. Directed by Marek Kanievska, Less Than Zero boasts a talented ensemble cast that brings Ellis' characters to life with haunting accuracy. The main protagonist, Clay, is played by the charismatic Andrew McCarthy, who portrays a college freshman returning home for the Christmas holidays. McCarthy's performance captures Clay's descent into a world of decadence as he confronts the alarming changes in his closest friends. Judd Nelson shines as Julian, Clay's best friend, who becomes entangled in a dangerous spiral of drug addiction. Nelson's portrayal exudes vulnerability and desperation, capturing the stark reality of a once-promising young man shackled by the destructive influence of drugs. Clay's former girlfriend, Blair, is brought to life by the talented and captivating actress, Jamie Gertz. Gertz beautifully portrays the conflicted emotions of Blair as she grapples with her love for Clay amidst the growing darkness surrounding their lives. Playing the alluring temptress, Rip, is the mesmerizingly talented actress, Robert Downey Jr. Downey's performance is nothing short of remarkable as he embodies the self-destructive, hedonistic lifestyle of a young man teetering on the edge of oblivion. Rounding out the cast is James Spader, who portrays the slimy, manipulative drug dealer, Rip's enabler. Spader infuses his character with a chilling lack of moral compass, making him a truly detestable presence throughout the film. Less Than Zero delves deep into the seedy side of L.A.'s affluent youth culture, exploring the devastating consequences of unchecked excess. As the characters navigate their world of debauchery and addiction, the film serves as a cautionary tale, highlighting the destructive power of drugs and the fickle nature of friendship. The movie's soundtrack is a reflection of the dark, desolate atmosphere permeating the lives of these characters. Replete with haunting synth-pop tunes and moody tracks, the soundtrack perfectly captures the essence of the era. Songs like "Caught Between Goodbye and I Love You" by Chicago, "Hazy Shade of Winter" by The Bangles, and "As Lovers Go" by Suzanne Vega all contribute to the melancholic undertones of the film. If you want to immerse yourself in the atmospheric sounds of Less Than Zero, you can now play and download these haunting tracks here. Transport yourself to the gritty streets of 1980s Los Angeles, where youth, wealth, and decadence collide, leaving destruction in their wake. Less Than Zero remains a compelling film that serves as a chilling reminder of the consequences of unchecked excess and addiction. Its narrative captivates audiences as it explores the transient nature of youth and the dire outcomes that await those who succumb to the allure of vice. Whether you're a fan of thought-provoking movies, riveting performances, or simply want to immerse yourself in the dark allure of 1980s Los Angeles, Less Than Zero is a film that shouldn't be missed. So, go ahead, play and download these captivating sounds, and let yourself be transported to a world where excess reigns and redemption seems hopelessly out of reach.
