Lady Bird Edit

A reading from the book of Genesis.

A vote for Amanda is a vote for boys, boys and healthy vending machines,

Abram put his faith in the lord.

Actually, I was thinking maybe we should go to the deuce.

Ah!

Aha! Thank you. That's what I like to hear.

All right, let's have everyone take a knee. Huh?

All right. So I'm gonna be passing back your graded quizzes.

All right. Stop, stop, stop.

All the Xavier boys and immaculate heart girls.

All those bends I've known my whole life,

Almost done. Do you like it?

Also, like...

Amen.

Amen.

And a playgirl.

And a scratcher,

And at 15, this girl was pregnant.

And before you know where you are, there you are

And do you have a support system?

And don't you wish your mom hadn't gotten angry?

And feel like it really applies to my life.

And freeze all faults.

And got my mba at uc Davis while still working at isc.

And had a son named etienne, who died at 17 of a drug overdose,

And he wants me to come there for the summer,

And her lips came together and smiled mysteriously.

And how much you're just throwing away every day?

And I can tell you that the brothers do too.

And I need to know if there's more towels that I need to wash.

And I'm going to get older and make a lot of money,

And immaculate heart is already a luxury.

And Miguel and Shelly, you'll never get jobs with all that shit in your face.

And my ending is despair.

And nobody ever gets hurt.

And stores and the whole thing.

And that is hard work, indeed. Believe me. We've had to do it...

And the coming of our savior, Jesus Christ.

And the son, and the holy spirit.

And then if you guys can transcribe that back in your play books, that'd be great.

And then maybe you'd learn to pull yourself up and not expect everybody to

And then the water just whoop.

And then, it'll be a matter of time.

And they went to Berkeley.

And they're not gonna do it if it looks like his family is trash.

And to the Republic for which it stands,

And we'd have to kill his older brothers too.

And we're afraid of what the future will bring.

And where there's sadness, ever joy

And where there's sadness, ever joy

And where there's sadness, ever joy

And write you a check for what I owe you.

And you twist the hair like this, and...

And, uh, I'm gonna put the blocking up here on the board,

Anyone want to guess who this woman is?

Anyway, we hang out there.

Apology accepted, I guess.

Aquinas, my favorite, kierkegaard

Are we still friends?

Are we still going to prom together?

Are you and mom gonna get a divorce over this?

Are you...

Aren't Jenna and Kyle enough?

Aren't you adorable?

Aren't you, sort of, proud that I'm so close to getting in?

As you from crimes would pardon thee.

At least go to San Francisco.

At the psych hospital?

At the world you left and the things you know

Aw, I missed you guys.

Aww, honey.

Be entertaining ourselves, do we?

Because 9 11 and less people applying with terrorism and all that,

Because I have to do laundry before work

Because I love you.

Because I'm not gonna tell you. That is none of your business.

Because it's not important to be right. It's only important to be

Because it's soul killing.

Because no one wants a muffin with that many calories.

Because that makes us look like rags.

Because you don't think about anybody but yourself.

Because you wouldn't let me practice enough!

Because you're deciding to be. Don't be mad at me for this.

Because your brother saw somebody knifed in front of him at the public school.

Becky this is Jules. She's one of my brightest students.

Before I start scc.

Before they put them in our brains.

Before what?

Being successful doesn't mean anything in and of itself.

Birdy, you like her.

Blessed art thou amongst women...

Bruce.

Bruce.

Bruce. Bruce.

But also don't tell her i salvaged them, okay?

But do you like me?

But doesn't catholic school cost money?

But don't tell mom about the doritos or the wait list.

But from what I can see, a play is a play.

But he's not happy.

But I always thought that was like a metaphor.

But I want you to know how much she loves you,

But I wanted to tell you...

But I'm gonna give this thing my best shot.

But math isn't something you're terribly strong in.

But my mom says same difference, if you're that careless with your life.

But not Yale, because I probably couldn't get in.

But please just talk to me, mom.

But quit wrinkling all the magazines!

But still though, I'm sorry.

But that doesn't mean that you're happy.

But that's why I think with me, you'll find something different.

But then I found that when it happened...

But they won't believe in god.

But they're the greatest.

But they're vintage, so they don't support the industry.

But unfortunately, all the interviews are taken.

But we weren't really talking when it happened.

But you smoke.

Bye! Love you!

Bye.

Bye.

Bye. I love you.

Can I get your number? We were looking to set up more gigs down there.

Can you can you take me to my friend, Julie's house, please?

Can you not tell anyone, please?

Can't inhale cloves. What's the point?

Catching a dream

Ch, my god.

Cheers.

Christine. My name is Christine.

Cities of the world,

Come here often?

Come in.

Congratulations.

Cool. Awesome.

Cracker time. Dress time.

Cruise missiles, followed by the f117 stealth bombers

Cut to ten years later.

Dad, come in.

Dad, this is more for mom.

Dad.

Danny. Nice. That's role one.

Danny's not singing yet. He's all alone.

Darlene, can you excuse us?

Darlene's staying.

Definitely.

Did Danny say whether his grandmother has a formal Thanksgiving?

Did you even know that? No, of course you don't,

Did you feel emotional the first time that you drove in sacramento?

Did you feel emotional the first time that you drove in sacramento?

Did you feel emotional the first time that you drove in sacramento?

Did you know that alanis morissette

Did you know toothpaste is basically ineffective.

Did you pick up?

Didn't you ever go to sleep without putting all your clothes away perfectly?

Different things can be sad. It's not all war.

Ding dong. I'm outside.

Do not ask me, "Mr. Bruno, is this gonna be on the finals,"

Do we have that here?

Do you believe in god?

Do you have any idea what it costs to raise you?

Do you know if Sarah Lawrence is actually in the city?

Do you need him to come in here and explain that to you?

Do you need money for the applications?

Do you think i like driving that car around?

Do you think i look like I'm from sacramento?

Do you think that Shelly and Miguel have sex on the pullout couch?

Do you want some?

Do you want to go over there right now and eat?

Does mom hate me?

Doesn't matter if I get home late. She'll be mad at me anyway.

Doesn't your mom have a dress?

Don't be looking around and blabbing at anybody if they walk by ya.

Don't talk amongst yourselves. Now, coming in slow, we're singing.

Don't worry, I'm not gonna snitch on you.

Don't worry.

Don't worry. I won't win.

Don't you think they are maybe the same thing?

Don't, it isn't nice

Dreams don't die, so keep an eye on your dream

Dreams that will explode

Eat quickly, please.

Eggs aren't good for the environment anyways.

Eight, nine, ten. You're coming in hard, right here.

Embarrassing, I use that.

Eternal flame, and movies.

Even Miguel has a math degree.

Even you deserve better than this.

Ever since she moved in, your brother and Shelly are becoming the same person.

Everybody says don't walk on the grass

Everybody says don't, everybody says don't

Everybody says don't, it isn't right

Everyone else got out early.

Everyone who auditioned got in.

Everything we do is for you. Everything.

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Excuse me?

Excuse me. What day is it?

First one to cry wins

First, yes. That's why financial aid.

Flying through the countryside

For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.

Forever!

From uncle Matt.

Fuck 'em.

Fuck me.

Give me a nod. That's good. Maybe even a verbal confirmation.

Give me a number.

Give me a number.

Glory to you, o lord.

Good job, Jules.

Government didn't have to put tracking devices on us.

Great.

Guess you won't be going to any dances in college.

Hail Mary, full of grace.

Happy 18.

Happy birthday to you

Happy new year!

Happy new year!

Have a good time.

Have you ever been out of the country?

He barely saw that. I wanna go where culture is,

He didn't understand it.

He lost his job.

He resurfaced in yellowstone,

He was in a rock band, moron. The doors.

He...

He's depressed about money?

Hell, yeah.

Hello.

Her fingers moved gently in his hair.

Her hand moved behind his head and supported it.

Her skin is luminous.

Here are the classics St. augustine, of course,

Here they are. Your completed financial aid applications.

Here.

Hey, do you guys wanna ditch prom and just go to Mike's instead?

Hey, guys.

Hey, I think b.

Hey, I'm like Keith Richards. I'm just happy to be anywhere.

Hey, I'm Miguel, the brother. I think lady bird wants to make an entrance.

Hey, Kyle. Lady bird and I just decorated the nun mobile.

Hey, Matt.

Hey, mom.

Hey, old friends

Hey, wait. Let's just sit with what we heard.

Hey, wanna dance?

Hey, what's going on, man?

Hey!

Hey.

Hey.

Hey.

Hey. Are you calling me from school?

Hey. So I talked to my manager and, um, you could totally take over my old job.

Hey. Yeah. Okay, that sounds great.

Hi, honey. Been anxious to meet you.

Hi, mom and dad.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi.

Hi. A minus.

Hi. You've reached the mcpherson family.

Holy shit!

How am I a senior and not know we have that?

How ashamed that you are of us'? Your dad knows.

How do we stay old friends

How do you know Kyle?

How long do you think you all will pee?

How old was he?

How we're not virgins now.

How'd it go?

How'd you know it was me?

I | really like dry humping much more.

I actually want to go to prom.

I admire her.

I am that baby that she decided not to abort.

I believe it.

I brought you these hot rollers... For your Jim morrison hair.

I can tell from your work you even understood the ones you missed.

I can't feel my arms.

I can't stop you dicks from hanging out here,

I couldn't believe that. This is my wife Becky.

I did, and I wanted to tell you,

I didn't even know he was sick again.

I didn't know if you were tired.

I didn't know that.

I didn't lose my virginity to you.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I don't even know how I got cast in my part.

I don't even sort of understand why somebody would lie about that.

I don't even sort of understand why somebody would lie about that.

I don't even sort of understand why somebody would lie about that.

I don't even want to go to school in this state anyway.

I don't find your mother warm.

I don't have a second shift.

I don't have to go anywhere.

I don't keep a list.

I don't know if mine is the right kind though.

I don't know what your wealthy friends do

I don't know. There are a lot of kids, but she lives in the fab 40s.

I don't know. Where?

I don't like hills.

I don't like money.

I don't own a tracking device.

I don't really want to do that.

I don't understand.

I drank so much soda.

I feel that the person who said that didn't live in sacramento.

I get nosebleeds.

I go to Xavier, so

I guess god's doing that for us.

I guess I'll just sit shotgun.

I guess that's my date.

I guess we're, uh, going for the same job then.

I had placed some calls to local alumni of the schools you're interested in,

I had to get it. It makes me laugh.

I hate California. I want to go to the east coast.

I hate dishonesty.

I hate that shit.

I have a general idea, but this is all about the honor code right now.

I have an idea of how to get Sarah Joan back.

I have to get out of sacramento.

I have to go to class.

I hear you. It's wild.

I heard Jenna walton has a tanning bed in her house.

I heard lsc's closing now though.

I heard that before he became a priest, he was married,

I heard. Yes.

I hope he marries my mom. That would be so nice.

I hope it fits.

I just don't get why I'm not good at math. My dad is really good in math.

I just had a whole experience that was wrong.

I just need one. Sorry.

I just think it's such a shame that you're spending your last Thanksgiving

I just wanted it to be special.

I just...

I know I am.

I know I can lie and not be a good person, but...

I know it was you who did the just married thing.

I know.

I know. I guess you want it that way.

I know. It's just that i respect you too much for that.

I like "Jules."

I live in granite bay, otherwise I'd say let's go there.

I lost my virginity to cassy duvall.

I love it here.

I love it.

I love it.

I love this neighborhood.

I love you too.

I love you too. Have a good day at work.

I love you.

I love your mom.

I mean, if you're still Kyle's girlfriend, then yeah, I guess I'll see you around.

I mean, maybe he never even was.

I mean, you'll have one eventually. Everyone's gonna have one.

I mean... Yes, I know it was probably easier

I need you to help me with the financial aid applications, but mom can't know.

I never thought brambles was a genius, okay?

I pledge allegiance to the flag

I probably won't get in, so

I read your college essay.

I remember from the pictures.

I respect you so much...

I said,

I scoot myself under, just like now, like this,

I see light on in your room. Go to bed.

I smoke hand rolled cigarettes.

I still don't know how to use those rollers that you gave me.

I take the showerhead...

I think college and use protection like we talked about.

I think he and my mom are fighting so enjoy the lunches while you can.

I think I figured it out when I was, like, three or something.

I think it's a little upsetting.

I think we're done with the learning portion of high school.

I think you might've made an assumption.

I think, yes, I am.

I thought it was more like b minus, maybe even c plus territory?

I thought Miguel was gonna pick me up.

I thought you didn't even care what I think.

I thought you should have them,

I totally get that. Thank you.

I urge you to find the problems where you went wrong and work them out.

I wanna you know, I wanna be a mom.

I want to send my daughters to immaculate heart.

I want to welcome all of you back to the start of the new school year,

I want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be.

I want you to look straight at the audience, okay.

I wanted it so badly,

I wanted to. You won't let me.

I was on top! Who the fuck is on top their first time?

I was talking to Kyle about it, and he was like,

I was telling you the truth. You want me to lie?

I wasn't flirting.

I wish i could get an eating disorder.

I wish I could live through something.

I wish she'd talk to me.

I wish that you liked me.

I wish you had been.

I wished I lived in that house.

I won't tell.

I wouldn't do that.

I'd be like, "mom, we're taking the snacks upstairs to the TV room."

I'd have friends over all the time to study and eat snacks.

I'd have my own bathroom.

I'd inherit the dream house.

I'll figure it out. My mom thinks I can't get in, but she is sorely mistaken.

I'll go to Davis and I'll see you every day.

I'll see you tomorrow. Or, I mean, later.

I'm 18, which is why all these things, i can buy them.

I'm a customer, Miguel. I'm always right.

I'm friends with Jenna and she's always talking about how great your band is.

I'm going to write you a citation, miss walton.

I'm gonna count on you to reconstruct it, okay?

I'm gonna miss the fuck out of you.

I'm just happy.

I'm kidding, no.

I'm lady bird. We're gonna be in the musical together.

I'm no easy a

I'm not even in yet, so this might not even be a problem.

I'm not going anywhere to college, so it seemed like a good opportunity.

I'm not going to a fucking university

I'm not going to punish you.

I'm not gonna be here this summer, like, all summer, basically.

I'm not paying you to flirt.

I'm not sure you're right.

I'm not sure.

I'm not, but okay.

I'm ready to have sex.

I'm ready.

I'm so ashamed of all of it.

I'm so sorry about everything.

I'm so sorry I wanted more.

I'm sorry I didn't have time to wrap it.

I'm sorry it's a small Christmas. We wanted to...

I'm sorry that you're jealous.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I shouldn't have gone behind your back.

I'm trying as much as possible not participate in our economy.

I'm trying to live by bartering alone.

I'm ungrateful and I'm so sorry.

I've assigned a number to each of your roles.

I've got that.

I've never been out of the country.

ID.

If Danny and I get married, and then his grandma died,

If I lived here, I would definitely have my wedding

If they are down below on surface of the ground.

If you can pull out your your scripts,

If you had boobs, i wouldn't touch them either.

If you're still interested in theater.

Iju I just remembered, i had a dream about you.

Immaculate fart. You wanted that, not me.

In the backyard.

In the name of the father,

Irish catholic. It's hard to find a girl to date that's not my cousin.

Is dad depressed?

Is it too pink?

Is that what you want? Larry, what are you doing on the computer?

Is that what you want? So, you're telling me

Isn't there a thing, like,

It has fiberglass.

It is if you wanna go to Paris.

It just means that you're successful.

It made sense. It was the right thing to do.

It mattered to my dad that...

It means you'll have to get in on how you look on paper.

It started out like a song

It was funny.

It was. Trust me, i know talent when I see it.

It wasn't me.

It will make you swoon.

It's a collaborative effort with the men at Xavier.

It's a new system. You just enter your social security number and...

It's all greatest hits.

It's French. What should we name it?

It's funny. On my way over here, i went over the train tracks.

It's just a bird head on a lady body, or vice versa.

It's just a little small this year.

It's just this is the only place i can get any privacy.

It's just... it's going to be bad and I just need a little bit of time

It's me. Christine.

It's more for you and Andrea than it is for the baby.

It's my parents number.

It's my tracking device.

It's my tradition to run for office.

It's normal to not touch a penis.

It's not a thanking situation.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. Lots of cheese vary in size.

It's only three dollars. I'm having a hard week.

It's probably my only shot at that, you know?

It's purple.

It's stupid. You can't be mad at me for something I have no control over.

It's the midwest of California.

It's the name you gave me. It's a good one.

It's the tanning bed.

It's the three story blue one

It's too bad I can't meet this Kyle before prom.

It's too tight. Fuck.

It's your honor.

It's, uh it's my dream to go to Paris.

Jenna walton's not doing any off reading.

Jenna's a moron, you know.

Julie will love this.

Julie?

Julie. Hey.

Just a little?

Just because something looks ugly doesn't mean it's morally wrong.

Just can you drive me to the post office on Jade? It should still be open.

Just crying.

Just go to city college, and then to jail, and then back to city college,

Just how small you are

Just so, he added, 'shall your descendants be.'

Just something I'm trying out. Bye, mom.

Just trying to make him happy.

Just... please!

L that that was an exaggeration.

L | appreciate everything you've done for me.

L | didn't lie.

L | like your band.

L just it's not like I'm definitely going to New York.

Ladies.

Lady bird always says that she lives on the wrong side of the tracks,

Lady bird, a bunch of things arrived for you.

Lady bird, your lover awaits!

Lady bird.

Lady bird. You can't lock the door when we have one bathroom.

Larry, how long will this hold us?

Larry. Sit down, Danny.

Let me get your picture.

Let your indulgence set me free.

Let's be honest. I've had a dress for months.

Let's deuce it up.

Let's go buy a big bag of doritos and eat them in the car

Lick your lips. That's why they're sweet.

Like even once?

Like how ten years ago, you were in first grade.

Like Jim morrison. Very '70s.

Like, it's more intense.

Like, just married to Jesus.

Like, not like a cigarette?

Listen, stop.

Listen. If your mother had had the abortion,

Little more than a glance ls enough to show you

Log ride.

Look at all these pictures. Every newspaper looks like usa today.

Looks like it.

Love and attention?

Lovely. I love it. Would you mind doing the whole table for me?

Make a wish.

Make me a channel of your peace

Marion.

Maybe I'll see you at the deuce or something, huh?

Maybe it's different when you actually have a penis in there.

Maybe it's your mom's fault.

Maybe we should try tanning.

Maybe you would enjoy theater arts.

Me and you

Me and you

Me and you

Me neither. I was the one who had a dress and prepared a song.

Meet me at the teacher's parking lot at 3.

Merrily we roll along, roll along

Miguel saw someone knifed in front of him at sac high.

Mine was pretty intense, I think.

Miss Patty assigned you a role by the way, you just never showed up to claim it!

MkvCage.com

Mom doesn't knock.

Mom won't be happy about it.

Mom, I love them.

Mom, please talk to me.

Mom, please talk to me.

Mom, please talk to me.

Mom, we we can't really talk right now.

Mom.

Mom.

Money is not life's report card.

Mortar rounds fired at the camp that will fly over them

My my dad had a job that took him to Brazil.

My dad has cancer, so

My dream to

My feet always have moisture.

My friend.

My mom is always mad.

My mom said French wasn't useful.

My mother was an abusive alcoholic.

My mother.

My my grandma wanted me to tell you that she missed you at Christmas.

My name's lady bird.

My parents are upstairs, but they don't care if you drink.

Never cloves.

Never industrially produced.

Next to the bright one, and then the dim one. You see it?

No more short skirts.

No one, I guess.

No one's asking you to be perfect. Just considerate would do.

No way.

No way.

No, because I did really well on the last quiz.

No, don't be sorry.

No, I didn't. 'Cause I'm not.

No, it's a made up thing so we all can participate!

No, no, no. The cell phones.

No, she doesn't.

No, she knows better. She can't sneak around like this.

No, we have auditions this afternoon.

No.

No.

No. I mean, I just wish...

No. I'm from the wrong side of the tracks.

No. I'm good.

No. I'm just saying that if you took up close pictures of my vagina

No. It's fine.

No. Just leave.

No. My name is David.

No. No more politeness. Call me Marion.

No. Of course not.

No. We can't afford to.

No. We got out early 'cause all the Irish girls got totally sloshed by noon.

No. You're okay there.

None of these things were put away right.

Not within the calendar year.

Nothing really. Nothing.

Nothing you're saying is making any sense.

Now we cut to...

Now, I know you all know your grades better than anybody.

Now, I know you all miss father leviatch,

Now, I want spirits to enforce, and art to enchant,

Of course I love you.

Of course not.

Of course, he probably wouldn't anyway. He's Mr. nice guy,

Of the United States of America,

Oh, cool. Yeah. San Francisco's a great city.

Oh, did you find out about the wait list?

Oh, fuck.

Oh, god!

Oh, hi. You look amazing!

Oh, I almost forgot.

Oh, I didn't make that shirt. My parents got it for me at sea ranch.

Oh, I, uh, thought we'd...

Oh, I'm sorry.

Oh, my okay.

Oh, my god!

Oh, my god...

Oh, my gosh.

Oh, my mom made me get a job at new helvetia

Oh, no thanks. I'm trying to lose weight.

Oh, okay. I just couldn't tell because you were dragging your feet.

Oh, right. Happy St. Patrick's day.

Oh, right. I mean, uh, i don't think I want to do the play.

Oh, right. I mean, uh, i don't think I want to do the play.

Oh, right. I mean, uh, i don't think I want to do the play.

Oh, thanks. I want my hair or his hair to be curly, though.

Oh, that's her. Gotta go.

Oh, uh, well, thank you so much for having us.

Oh, um, it's my birthday today.

Oh, um, the 40s.

Oh, wait until you hear his love story.

Oh, well, your dad and I went to a dinner party once in that neighborhood.

Oh, where is father leviatch?

Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. I remember you. You were wearing that dress.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure they had no idea, Miguel!

Oh, yeah. We'd have to kill them,

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. I seem to remember you doing only slightly better.

Oh. Oh, it's okay.

Oh. Okay.

Oh. Shit!

Oh. Well, nice to meet you, Mr. mcpherson.

Oh. Why not?

Oh...

Oh... oh, it's so easy.

Ohh. Paris.

Okay, fine. Well, yours is the worst life of all, so you win.

Okay, guys. Now, look. Role one, right?

Okay, the first time we did it, it was at his lake house last summer.

Okay, uh, prospero. Danny.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. B it is.

Okay. Bye.

Okay. Christine.

Okay. Cool.

Okay. Happy birthday.

Okay. Take it away, lady bird.

Okay. Well, let me get to the mirror, I've gotta get going.

Okay. Yeah. I mean...

One nation under god, indivisible, with Liberty and justice for all.

One pack of camel lights please,

Only 56.

Ooh, you're so gross!

Ooh!

Or like, you know, little did he know.

Or, "Mr. Bruno, is this gonna be on the midterm?"

Otherwise, she's just gonna think she can say anything at all,

Our college trip took 21 hours and five minutes.

Parking's too expensive here.

Part of my job is to help you be realistic.

People call each other by names that their parents made up for them,

People make so much noise in the movies, but it's really not a big thing.

Perhaps you haven't always been an active part of this community.

Pick a star for us.

Pigs are smarter than him even.

Rolling along

Rolling your own is best.

San Francisco.

Sarah Joan is all up in myjunk.

Save Jesus in our heart!

Schwoop.

Second, I have to get in first.

See the pretty countryside

See, why don't I look like that?

Sex is not a big deal. It's just my mom called me during it.

She decided that she was going to get an abortion.

She doesn't know how to help you and it frustrates her.

She has a big heart, your mom.

She has to know how you feel.

She is so pretty.

She just goes to pavilions.

She kinda did it to herself.

She made one bad decision at 19!

She took me in after my parents freaked out about...

She was worried that there would be errors or mistakes or something,

She will. I know.

She'll be back.

She'll come back.

She's a cunt.

She's a moron in a deeper sense.

She's mad we don't have a spiral staircase.

She's my best friend.

She's not crazy. She's just, you know, she has a big heart.

She's not. She's in ap calculus.

She's very warm.

She's with her new best friend. She thinks she's too cool for theater.

Shelly and I are trying to be vegan, hence the soy milk.

Shit!

Should we go home?

Shut up.

Singing. Eight, nine, ten... You come in hot!

Sister Gina and I drove all the way home before we noticed people were honking.

Six inches for the holy spirit.

Skirts.

So affectionately and with such care.

So I wanted to check it out.

So is miss Patty.

So that I never have to speak to you again.

So the assholes who fired you are now closing up shop.

So the attack on Baghdad last night,

So this is your house?

So what does that mean?

So you pull the nozzle out. You tip it in.

So, because my grade book has... Disappeared, here's what we're gonna do.

So, everybody clear on applying rules of exponents?

So, guess where I am.

So, I understand you're not interested in any catholic colleges.

So, I'm applying to a couple east coast schools.

So, uh, call them out, miss Patty.

So, what do you think about college?

So, you know, it's a force of habit.

So...

Some of the students were disturbed by your posters.

Some of your friends' fathers could employ your father,

Some people aren't built happy, you know.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Sorry.

Sorry. But yes, no way.

Sorry. I was confused.

Sorry. Where?

Starting... now.

Stop fighting! Stop fighting!

Stop it. Stop it.

Suck a dick.

Summer job's covered it.

Sunday.

Sure.

Sure.

Sure. I guess I pay attention.

Sure. See you at the deuce.

Suspended? How does this happen?

Talk about the position.

Talk to me.

Thank god you were there. So I guess we can't have pencils anymore.

Thank you!

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. I'm...

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks. I'm super excited. You you live in the neighborhood?

That brought my average up to a b.

That could have been me.

That could have been my fate.

That lady in the other house was totally freaked out.

That one. Right there.

That we know of yet.

That you want to see somebody knifed right in front of you?

That you'd judge her writing abilities.

That'll be 10.87.

That'll be three dollars.

That's awesome.

That's famous for its fucking agricultural school!

That's hella tight.

That's my friend's grandma. That's her house.

That's not what I'm worried about.

That's our star.

That's right. Yeah, the likes of which, uh, many us...

That's true. There she is.

That's us.

That's weird. You shake hands.

That's where our starter house was.

That's why I'm applying to New York colleges.

That's why I'm taking French.

The attack came in waves,

The ceo of isc. That was pretty formal.

The girl in the story was...

The lord is with thee.

The nice guy. She has to know.

The one she got me for emergencies.

The only exciting thing about 2002 is that it's a palindrome.

The part I got was basically not getting in.

The pills. They have dad's name on them.

The way that you work or the way that you don't work

The young lady right here.

Then next one.

Then you'll be applying to ucs and state schools.

There are big, tall, terrible giants in the sky

There are giants in the sky

There it is.

There it is.

There's never a line in the men's room.

There's no wrong answer.

There's someone here to see you.

These are nice.

These programmers nowadays are like kids, man.

They aren't done. There's white stuff.

They bag at the grocery store. That is not a career.

They do a fall musical and a spring play, and from what I hear, it's a real blast.

They don't care. We didn't think we'd be in this house for 25 years.

They look like sperms.

They wick moisture away from your feet.

They're expensive, actually.

They're having auditions for the fall musical.

They're not consecrated.

They're really nice socks.

This is our last one.

This is singing. Wide lines are singing.

This is why we have computer shut off time.

This is... my friend, Jenna, gave it to me.

This isn't right. We can't treat our clothes like this.

This uniform this is gonna look like trash on Monday.

This won't mess with my scholarship, will it?

Those aren't the rules. This is my house.

Three, two, one.

To be fair, I wasn't just married to Jesus. It's been 40 years.

To figure out how I'm going to tell my mom and dad and

To get our emotions going, we're going to play

To learn, like, "responsibility."

To Miguel and his newjob.

To my grandmother's Thanksgiving, Mrs. mcpherson.

Try to run, try to hide, try to keep it inside

Two bad decisions!

Two.

Two.

Two.

Ugh! That car should be illegal.

Uh, i

Uh, I had miss Patty here assign roles, since she knows you all.

Uh, no.

Uh, not if we don't give money.

Uh, now, usually I'm the jv football coach,

Uh, the severance package expires all at once.

Uh, well, i | saw your Thanksgiving show.

Uh, with Jonah ruiz,

Uh...

Um, 44th.

Um, college is good.

Um, help yourself to anything in the fridge.

Um, your friend?

Um...

Unless I be relieved by prayer,

Wait, what was your name?

Wait.

Wait. What are you doing here?

Wait. Where do you live?

Wait...

Waking up the countryside

Was it amazing though?

We ate all the cheese.

We bought them and put them on ourselves.

We deflowered each other. We have each other's flowers.

We got the little one, but that was really great, Jules.

We have a decision to make.

We thought we would've moved some place better.

We were flying to Disneyland on a giant carrot.

We were in one parking lot and we went to another parking lot?

We won't be liked, we won't succeed.

We wouldn't have to sit through this stupid assembly.

We... aren't they quite expensive?

We're afraid that we will never escape our past,

We're afraid that we will not get into the college of our choice.

We're afraid we won't be loved,

We're not rich people.

We're singing. We're singing.

We're singing. We're singing.

Well I highly doubt that you will be able to get a job good enough to do that.

Well, cloves were what I first smoked when I was young.

Well, dad will walk you to security.

Well, happy Thanksgiving. We missed you, lady bird.

Well, he's a lucky guy.

Well, he's not my boyfriend anymore.

Well, I don't know. What says "rich people Thanksgiving"?

Well, I gave it to myself. It's given to me, by me.

Well, I hope not 'cause I'd fuckin' kill your family.

Well, I just couldn't tell.

Well, I just wanted to say, "what's up," and I'll see you in rehearsal.

Well, I love you.

Well, I suggested you not have that second helping of pasta.

Well, I was just arriving from work and it was easier.

Well, I was just describing it.

Well, I'd still like to meet him.

Well, if you wanna read it, we can go down to the public library.

Well, it comes across as love.

Well, it's nice to make things neat and clean.

Well, okay. You're gonna make a great Franklin.

Well, Shelly too. Kind of.

Well, um...

What did you say, ma'am?

What do you mean?

What do you want from Julie?

What do you want from me?

What do you want us to do? She's drunk.

What does cut to mean to you?

What else is supposed to happen?

What happened?

What happens if somebody gets in an accident?

What I'd really like is to be on math olympiad.

What if this is the best version?

What was the emergency?

What what were we to do?

What you do is very baller.

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What's this sweater?

What's wrong with cloves?

What's wrong with that?

What's your name?

Whatever we give you, it's never enough.

Whatever you're up to, it's not gonna end well.

Whatever, premarital sex.

When do you think is a normal time to have sex?

When I'm in this store, I'm not your sister.

When you're way up high and you look below

Where there is darkness, only light

Where there is despair in life let me bring hope

Where's lady bird?

Where's Mr. Bruno's wife?

Which is why I don't want to fight about it before I have to.

Which is why I went back to school

Which maybe was a suicide.

Which pierces so that it assaults mercy itself

Which street?

While I was on my period, it would be disturbing, but it doesn't make it wrong.

Who credited to him as an act of righteousness."

Who do you turn to when you feel this way?

Who is Jim morrison again?

Who's Jenna?

Who's Julie?

Who's Julie?

Who's playing what part?

Whoo!

Why are you crying?

Why aren't you in algebra 2?

Why can't you say I look nice?

Why did you say it was your house?

Why didn't you just say, "pick up your feet"?

Why do you ask that?

Why do you care what I do to my clothes?

Why does that cigarette look so weird?

Why don't I look like the girls in the magazines?

Why wouldn't you keep a list?

Why?

Why? You're gonna have so much unspecial sex in your life.

With a family you've never met instead of us, but

With Danny on stage.

With her scholarships and then if we refinance the house, then where are we?

With so called bunker buster bombs.

With target a bunker believed...

With the white shutters and the American flag in the front.

Wouldn't his parents get it?

Wow. There's so many of you.

Wrong side of the tracks!

Wrote this song in only ten minutes?

Xohh'

Yeah, but I'm going to college.

Yeah, but she's a cunt.

Yeah, but then you're successful.

Yeah, but they're like babies.

Yeah, I think that too.

Yeah, it's so beautiful.

Yeah. I guess they'd been stockpiling mini liquor bottles in the tampon machine,

Yeah. I hate dances.

Yeah. I know that one.

Yeah. I know.

Yeah. I probably slept with, like, six people.

Yeah. I was like, "um, mom, I can't really talk right now."

Yeah. I'm gonna send them a note.

Yeah. It seems like everyone's job.

Yeah. It's already included.

Yeah. Just once, I'd like to have the song "New York groove" playing

Yeah. Kyle's awesome.

Yeah. Okay. No prom.

Yeah. The diocese we're in are super into it.

Yes.

Yes.

Yesterday is done

You and Miguel went there. I'm a legacy.

You are from sacramento.

You aren't gonna get in a car with a guy who honks, are ya?

You both have such strong personalities.

You can read sea ranch if you look close.

You can totally be quiet during it.

You can touch my boobs, right?

You can't do anything unless you're the center of attention, can you?

You can't walk up to the gates anymore, anyway.

You clearly love sacramento.

You come in hot!

You couldn't get into those schools, anyway.

You definitely couldn't get in.

You don't even know her.

You don't even know if it's six people?

You don't have a cell phone?

You don't have to do that.

You either pass or you don't pass.

You fucking racist!

You give me a number for how much it cost to raise me.

You guys with me'? Don't leave me hanging.

You have a performative streak, I think.

You have any, like, awareness of how many civilians we've killed

You just have to say because this affects my whole day.

You know Davis has a terrific theater

You know how much you love brambles?

You know...

You lied. You're a liar.

You look like a badass girl in a band.

You look really pretty.

You make a big mess, and I have to clean the whole thing up.

You okay?

You passed.

You really need to use two towels?

You remembered.

You said you were a virgin.

You shake.

You should just go to city college. You know, with your work ethic,

You think dead children aren't morally wrong?

You understand?

You walked weird across the stage, but you did it!

You wanna do our favorite Sunday activity?

You wanna know the truth? Here's the truth.

You wear leather jackets.

You work at new helvetia, right?

You're actually fucking evil.

You're driving her and everything. Wow.

You're gonna run, kind of, a skinny post right up front.

You're my only daughter.

You're not a virgin.

You're not coming?

You're not even worth state tuition, Christine.

You're not going to a funeral.

You're not supposed to eat the wafers.

You're not supposed to.

You're only supposed to use it for emergencies.

You're so dexterous with that.

You're welcome.

You're welcome. Thank you.

You're working.

You've been listening to...

You've never even been to New York.

Your dad and I will barely be able to afford in state tuition.

Your dad knows why you ask him to drop you off a block away from school every day.

Your father doesn't have a job.

Your father's company is laying off people right and left.

Your house is my favorite

Your mom is crazy. I'm scared of her.

Your mom was really sad you weren't here tonight for Thanksgiving.

Your mom's pissed, she had to work a double.

Your sat scores are strangely very good.
