The Big Chill (1983) Comedy Edit

A brilliant physics student at the University of Michigan...

A changed man.

A commitment that has nothing to do...

A conglomerate, is going to buy my very small company.

A flag? What?

A law school friend is at a firm in Atlanta doing real estate law.

A little trust.

A long time ago we knew each other for a short period.

A lot of bullshit with clients and stuff.

A man like that could build a stable environment for children.

A million things that were wrong with her, wrong with us.

A repeat performance.

About five times.

Absolutely.

Advertising's all right.

After 12 years you haven't learned to make anything else?

Alex and I made love the night before he died. It was fantastic.

Alex didn't commit suicide. It was an accident.

Alex died for most of us a long time ago.

Alex drew us together from the beginning.

Alex is spirit now.

Alex is still warm.

Alex loved this place.

Alex withdrew from me then.

All I want is a little warmth.

All I'm saying is how could we let Alex slip away like that?

All it had done was put up a wall in our friendship.

All my life, deep inside...

All right, you can do that. Tell Carmelina I said it's okay.

All right!

All right.

All that's happening is I'm trying to get what I want.

All the boys and girls now

Almost, almost.

Am I going to need a tetanus shot?

Amazing tradition. They throw you a party on the one day you can't come.

Among our common men...

And all of Richard's...

And be the best person you can be.

And have something useful to say about their lives.

And he did.

And I don't know what to do with my anger.

And I loved him.

And I used to listen to you every night.

And I'll go on believing that till I kick.

And I'm just dying to meet your boys.

And in April, our second store in Charleston.

And Karen, Richard and Meg.

And now I come down here

And now...

And see my daughter with her new father, I realize what broke us up.

And sometimes it means your life isn't exactly how you want it to be.

And sometimes you do things you never thought you'd do.

And super mom is going to be very happy.

And talked like us they would think like us.

And the Cherry Nugget too, I think.

And the clients were only raping the land...

And then of course there was the money.

And then?

And went to bed at a reasonable hour.

And you were ready to write this one off at 10 0.

And you're an actor?

Anyone who has our stock will triple their money.

Anything.

Anyway, Harold's got enough kids.

Are not the satisfactions of being a good man...

Are pretty superficial stuff.

Are we mad at him for leaving no explanations?

Are we the first ones up?

Are you a chauffeur?

Are you going to stay here?

Are you J.T. Lancer?

Are you kidding?

Are you staying?

As soon as your mommy and daddy say you can.

Asshole at work you have to kowtow to...

Assholes.

At least nobody said it to me.

At least our last night will be fun.

At least you're giving them a fair shot.

At the home of Harold and Sarah Cooper...

Be careful what you want, young lady...

Be supportive for a minute and shut up.

Because he was so unhappy with where he was at.

Before that.

Behind you. Here, let me open this.

Being a private eye is dangerous work.

Being with you...

Better watch out. Some big monster will buy you.

Boredom.

Both of you?

Burial...

But after speaking with his loved ones...

But always felt, I don't know, stymied.

But I couldn't ask that of you.

But I didn't think

But I do know...

But I helped him drink his wine

But I promise I will, from now on, answer your letters.

But I'm okay now.

But in a way, their affair had been going on since Ann Arbor.

But it's a huge commitment.

But it's all right.

But neither time nor distance...

But not Richard?

But that was five years ago.

But the thing is...

But they can't finish it.

But think there's a good reason for it.

But why are we left with this?

But you can do what you can do.

But you couldn't seem to finish that dissertation.

But you don't...

But you set your priorities. And that's the way life is.

But you try to minimize that stuff...

But your real fame came as a radio psychologist...

By telling you, I've violated about 16 regulations...

Can I go over there?

Can I have your autograph, whoever you are?

Can you tell us something about Alex?

Can't be that bad.

Can't believe it.

Chloe, this is Michael.

Chloe. Hi, you there?

Chooses to leave us, there is something wrong in this world.

Christ.

Clipping. Called against Michigan.

Come along?

Come here. Come here. Head on down.

Come into my life.

Come on in the kitchen with me.

Come on in. Nobody else will.

Come on now, guys. We're all friends here.

Come on, Blue, you're not supposed to fold till the fourth quarter.

Come on, Sam.

Come on, Sam. Don't make me say it again.

Come on, what is it?

Come on.

Come on. I'll come, and I'll bring a date.

Come with me.

Could be dishonest, unprincipled, backstabbing sleazeballs.

Could break the bonds that we feel.

Could have told you that a long time ago.

Could I be that big an asshole?

Could you help me in here for a sec?

Country clubs and home improvements and business deals...

Cynical? It's pragmatic.

Damn it!

Deeply disturbed following.

Depends. What'd he do?

Did anybody sleep last night?

Did I ever tell you...

Did I miss Karen and Richard?

Did you ever meet him?

Didn't mean to get into your area.

Ditto.

Do you take a half?

Do you think this is funny?

Do you want to sit up with us?

Does a bear have fleas?

Does the suit come with the machete?

Don't be mad at him, honey.

Don't do it.

Don't give me that shit!

Don't have to be in such a good mood.

Don't heckle Bo. He's got enough pressure.

Don't knock morons.

Don't knock rationalization. Where would we be without it?

Don't knock video games.

Don't remind me. It was the right thing to do at the time.

Don't say that. It was real.

Don't speak for me or anybody else.

Don't talk. Don't try to talk.

Don't.

Down onto the end.

Drink your coffee, Michael.

Ease the pain of separation by denigrating their relationship.

Easy for you to say. Married to Harold, the perfect man.

El greedo strikes again.

Even fortune cookies are getting cynical!

Ever gone a week without a rationalization?

Ever meet Michael's girlfriend, Annie?

Every time it comes up, someone changes the subject.

Excuse me, aren't you J.T. Lancer?

Fashion.

Fear of herpes.

Flow over you.

For 15 years, you've acted like I'm the one you really wanted.

For one thing, it doesn't always happen the first time.

For some people it isn't a question of why kill yourself, but why not.

Forever you're responsible for another living thing.

Forgive me?

Four months.

Fuck the club. I couldn't deal with the hours.

Fuck them if they can't take a joke.

Full stomach, I'd take a whole.

Get Harold to drive it.

Getting away from you people was the best thing to ever happen to me.

Give him your pose line, Sam.

Give me a break, that's my name.

Give me a break. I'll fly to Dallas on Monday.

Give me a break. Spare us the tragic existential pose.

Go for it.

Go, go, go!

God knows, we need that now.

God, it must have been awful.

Goddamn!

Good morning.

Good night, Sarah.

Good thing it's not important to us.

Good.

Good.

Great enough to sustain us anymore?

Great, if we can take Harold's car.

Great, they got here early.

Had to get out in the world, get dirty.

Hail to the conquering heroes. Come on, the game's starting!

Happens to be a hell of a guy.

Harold, don't you have any other music?

Harold, you didn't.

Have a safe trip.

Have I ever told you how beautiful your eyes are?

Have you and Sam discussed it, or are you planning a surprise attack?

Have you noticed anything unusual about this weekend?

Having gone through the same stuff...

He also saved his induction notice.

He and Chloe were working on it. There's an old house they were fixing up.

He and his friends beat up the husband, **** the wife...

He asked to stay the weekend.

He believed in reincarnation.

He came down here to find investors for that moronic club of his.

He could be one of them Yankee drug dealers we sometimes get...

He didn't know what to do.

He didn't say that, did he?

He doesn't have to be in Dallas till Monday.

He never ate meat.

He said he should have accepted that Rutledge fellowship.

He said he was afraid he would come back someday as a steak.

He said we made a good couple because I had no expectations and he had too many.

He should be here.

He was a scientific genius. Why was he doing welfare work?

He was classier than that.

He was hospitalized for being such a nerd.

He was really involved in that.

He wasn't my partner. He had the idea for the club.

He went out with a bang, not a whimper.

He'll be back before the game starts.

He's a Jeremiah.

He's not passing!

He's out of it now. We weren't conducive.

He's so handsome.

Hell, it's just garbage.

Hello, muffin. How are you?

Help me with these bleeding hearts.

Here it is.

Here's the guy who did this to me.

Hers said, "You'll never amount to anything."

Hi, guys.

His funeral and she's stoned.

His wife left for a younger woman, he couldn't make love.

Honest to God, I know it's crap. That's why I'm getting out.

How about you, Michael? Tell us about bigtime journalism.

How can you go to sleep? I'm not even tired.

How did Richard feel about it?

How do actors learn all those lines? How do you remember them?

How he hops into that sports car on TV.

How many is that now?

How much longer? Everything's getting cold.

How you doing?

Huey and Bobby.

Hurt, I can't deny that.

I ain't him.

I already told Alex.

I always jump her when she wears it.

I am sick of people selling their psyches for attention.

I am sorry. I thought they could do that stuff.

I assume he loves me. He'd do anything for me.

I believe that everybody does everything to get laid.

I believe you can help other people. I really do.

I believe you. I always believe you.

I bought the land three years ago.

I can relate to that.

I can see it.

I can sum up people's lives in 32 paragraphs.

I can understand it. It's terrific.

I can't believe these are the people you've talked about all these years.

I can't believe this. I'm just deciding this as we speak.

I can't believe you're still mad about that thing.

I can't do it with him. Too much history, it's not right.

I can't even believe it now.

I can't keep my eyes open.

I can't move that far.

I can't speak for Sarah.

I could be counted on to do the right thing.

I could have. I chose not to.

I could say something funny about that. But I won't.

I could say you're one...

I couldn't stick with it.

I did a rock band in a page and a half and they had 2 drummers.

I did know Alex.

I didn't get to talk to you before. You got me stoned too quick.

I didn't know Alex Marshall personally.

I didn't know him in the biblical sense. Is that clear?

I didn't know they were doing a story, or why you don't believe me.

I didn't realize anybody else was up.

I didn't show it to many people.

I didn't want that to happen to me.

I do half my work in limos.

I do too.

I do.

I don't believe it.

I don't believe this.

I don't buy that.

I don't care what you say.

I don't care. I should've known.

I don't claim people think they do the right thing.

I don't have to answer that.

I don't have to explain it, young lady.

I don't know anyone who can go a day without 2 or 3 rationalizations.

I don't know what he did for the last 5 years.

I don't know what people think about me.

I don't know why he was doing that.

I don't know why I said that.

I don't know why they like me, or even if they do like me.

I don't know why you're curious.

I don't know why you're touchy.

I don't know, a space.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know. I just didn't think they'd be...

I don't know. It's about everything.

I don't know. We had some good times.

I don't know...

I don't like talking about my past as much as you guys do.

I don't mind it.

I don't need this shit.

I don't think I could live down here all the time.

I don't want to discuss this now.

I don't want to go to bed, but I must.

I don't want to let any of this go.

I feel I was at my best when I was with you people.

I feel like everybody wants something from me.

I feel like I got a great break on a used car.

I feel like I have never been alone in my own house.

I feel like we should've had a chair for Alex.

I feel my kids have gotten something from J.T. Lancer.

I feel shitty about 10 different ways tonight.

I feel terrible.

I feel that I do.

I felt there was something I wanted to express...

I forget what this is like.

I found him.

I get real tired of these jokes.

I got to get back to the game, coach.

I got to try and relax.

I guess there's a certain symmetry to that.

I guess you weren't paying attention.

I had no idea how bad it was.

I hate them! They're like rats with wings.

I have to fly out to Dallas tonight.

I haven't met many happy people in my life. How do they act?

I heard myself talking to someone who had called up.

I interviewed this girl.

I just hope you'll wake me for anything ugly.

I just met Meg earlier. Just before the...

I just wanted to...

I knew he was unhappy. That doesn't tell you much.

I know I did. All alone in my airplane.

I know I loved you and everybody else here.

I know I shouldn't talk. You guys knew him.

I know in the first 15 seconds if there's a chance in the world.

I know Sarah and Meg would want some of this Fudge Royale.

I know that Richard will always be faithful to me.

I know that sounds terrible, but it's true.

I know this is hard for you, but it's all beautiful.

I know what Alex would say.

I know what you mean.

I know, but I think I've got something good right here.

I know. I've left more places than you'll ever go.

I let you guys out of sight and you develop moronic interests.

I listened for about 45 seconds. And I'm talking...

I lost my idea of what I should be.

I love you all so much. That sounds gross, doesn't it?

I love you very much.

I love you, sweetheart. Daddy will call you later.

I love you.

I loved Alex.

I mean, how much sex, fun, friendship can one man take?

I mean, I really love you. You're a nice person.

I might be interested.

I might have something that can help.

I must tell you...

I never got that feeling.

I never sleep through the night. Insomnia. Karen doesn't know.

I no longer know how to handle myself stoned.

I only hope...

I quit the next day.

I remember Alex was angry about that.

I remember he left that caseworker job in Boston.

I remember this.

I remember when he got this.

I remember.

I said, "I've got to go."

I shit in the woods, but I can't jerk off.

I should've known.

I stood with thousands of people listening to you. You moved them.

I think he wanted to cut off from us...

I think I got it.

I think I just forgot how to do it.

I think I've just been too slow to realize...

I think it's touching.

I think Michael's right.

I think she found what she was looking for in Richard.

I think the guy in the hat did something terrible.

I think they felt as bad as I did.

I think you know.

I think you're a crock of shit.

I think you've known this whole weekend.

I thought you'd be grateful.

I told him he was wasting his life.

I told you never to walk in here without knocking.

I try once every show to put something of value in there.

I try.

I understand.

I want you to do it because I said so. Understand?

I want you to do something for me.

I want you to sit with Chloe.

I was 15 and my family was living in Oakland.

I was going to help the scum, as I so compassionately call them now.

I was just coming down.

I was just trying to keep the conversation lively.

I was prejudiced in their favour. I thought because they look like us...

I was probably different with him.

I was sorry everyone knew, but that was as much my fault as anything.

I was thinking you could use the information...

I was upset and thought something was wrong with me.

I watch that show every week and I've always wondered.

I went to see them.

I went with him three weeks ago to buy a table saw.

I will be in Detroit sometime on this deal...

I will if you will. Today most of all we should remember we're friends.

I won't piss that away because you're higher than a kite.

I wonder if your friend Alex knew that.

I wouldn't call it fame exactly. I had a small...

I write for People magazine.

I yelled at him.

I'd be willing to drop this whole thing...

I'd hate to see you make that same mistake.

I'd hate to think it was all just...

I'd love it.

I'd love to hear the way you describe me to them.

I'd love to help you but I can't.

I'd marry you, if you want.

I'd really appreciate it.

I'll accompany you anywhere, even to Elaine's.

I'll be glad to drive somebody.

I'll be right bat.

I'll be right here.

I'll be up in a minute.

I'll be. What's that make you, Perry Mason?

I'll come see you whether you like it or not.

I'll explain to them.

I'll get back to you in the third quarter.

I'll give you a buck.

I'll never remember that. Will you?

I'll take care of her.

I'll write about this weekend.

I'm a little disappointed, though. I wanted to ride up there.

I'm a pallbearer.

I'm about to tell you something I'm not supposed to tell anyone.

I'm almost certain there's sex going on around here.

I'm collecting addresses. Do you have one?

I'm considering it. I've always wanted my own table.

I'm deeply hurt.

I'm feeling very guilty about it.

I'm going to bed.

I'm going to have a baby.

I'm going to leave him.

I'm going to sit here by myself for a while, okay?

I'm going to sleep.

I'm happy to be here, but I'm sick about the reason.

I'm hungry. I had this really dirty dream.

I'm interviewing a 14 year old blind baton twirler.

I'm just drunk and therefore brave.

I'm never taking these off. I will sleep in them.

I'm not complaining. Well, maybe I am.

I'm not cynical about dessert.

I'm not hung up on this completion thing.

I'm not sure I want to be part owner of a jet set greasy spoon.

I'm not sure.

I'm opening a club.

I'm picking up vibrations here at the house.

I'm proud of what I did. I'm doing a good job of raising my sons.

I'm Sam Weber.

I'm sitting here and I realize...

I'm sorry, Meg.

I'm sorry. We could talk about something else.

I'm still evolving.

I'm sure it is boring to hear it 20 times, but just ignore him.

I'm sure she'd never do that.

I'm the worst about writing.

I'm tired of having my work read in the can.

I'm yours.

I've always been a cowardly drunk myself.

I've always wanted to ride in a limo.

I've been getting some pretty weird propositions.

I've been out there dating for 20 years.

I've been taking my temperature and I know I'm ovulating.

I've been thinking about your friend Alex.

I've got to be up there, and it's a little tricky with Alex's folks.

I've seen it a million times. Some people...

Idiot!

If it meant giving up my writing, that's the way it goes.

If it turns out best for them, it is by definition what's best.

If Richard and I bring the boys to L.A...

If they're not gay, they've broken up with the most wonderful woman...

If we'd gotten married, we'd go shopping like this.

If you could persuade Mr. Lancer into showing us...

If you sleep this late, you'll miss a few mini dramas.

If you tell everyone about the stock deal, it will blow up in your face.

If you'd been in touch with him, you could've saved his life?

Immediately following.

In a few months, a very large corporation...

In January we open in Greensboro.

In L.A., I don't know who to trust.

In the old days, I wasn't emotionally equipped to satisfy her.

Is it?

Is jail another experience to try? See what it's like?

Is that true, Chloe? Did you feel that?

Is there any salt and pepper, please?

It could be. Think about it.

It doesn't say that.

It has to do with Robin.

It is hard for us to believe...

It makes me angry.

It makes weird sound. Kind of:

It seemed to really mean something to him.

It used to be, but now it's seven.

It was a real classy act he pulled in the bathtub.

It was easy then. No one had a cushier berth than we did.

It was straight of him not to cook up a Reader's Digest condensation...

It was. It was a real mess.

It wasn't. We accomplished things.

It will be big. You should take it more seriously.

It'd be nothing but aggravation.

It's a dead subject.

It's a decent living.

It's a disgusting curse.

It's a fucking bat, and I think it touched my hair!

It's a little late now, isn't it?

It's about Meg.

It's Alex's girlfriend.

It's Jeremiah versus Moby Dick.

It's just good investigative journalism.

It's just poems and short stories.

It's just that now it leaves kind of a...

It's just that now...

It's just...

It's me.

It's nice, isn't it?

It's not going to come out right.

It's not going to happen this weekend.

It's not right.

It's not right.

It's not surprising our friendship could survive that.

It's not that bad, guys!

It's not your fault.

It's only here in the world that it gets tough.

It's pretty strong stuff.

It's quiet in here.

It's really a charming side of you.

It's really pretty. I can take you out there tomorrow if you want.

It's these damn running shoes. They practically kill me.

It's too quiet.

It's true, officer. Do you have probable cause?

It's true.

It's wonderful.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog

Jeremiah.

Jesus!

Jesus.

Joy to the fishes In the deep blue sea

Joy to you and me

Just answer that last question.

Just climb in there regular, okay?

Just don't cross me.

Just kidding!

Just kidding. It's exactly as much as we spend.

Just Richard. Karen's staying the weekend.

Just so I can live with how I am now.

Just testing. A little joke.

Karen and I are staying here tonight. We fly back to Detroit in the morning.

Karen Bowles, an old college friend of Alex's...

Karen's told me some. I'm imagining mostly.

Keep your mouth shut. I'll do the talking.

Kids, don't try that at home. That's a warning.

Kids.

Last time I spoke with Alex, we had a fight.

Last weekend.

Last year I went to Hawaii with my friend Reena.

Lean, economical, the right touch of ideological fanaticism.

Let me put it in here.

Let's get the Wonton Express rolling.

Let's go watch this incredible show!

Let's say it becomes successful. I become a star.

Let's take him out back and kick the shit out of him.

Like Elaine's, but hipper. Elaine's is dead.

Like I know them and understand...

Like what?

Like, from this century?

Listen for it.

Listen to those guys.

Listen...

Look at that hunk of man, kids.

Look at the water.

Look at this! This could be us! The next generation.

Look out, Nick!

Look out!

Look what happened to him.

Look what I found in Alex's papers.

Lost hope. That's it, lost hope.

Make sure you keep his arm up.

Make sure you're okay.

Masturbation's the ultimate act of self absorption.

Maybe he let us slip away. I never heard from him.

Maybe I don't want to give her the time.

Maybe I'll have mine here too.

Maybe it'll split.

Maybe it's a sign from God that I should reconsider.

Maybe that is the small resolution...

Maybe that's what happened to Alex.

Maybe you could get us in to see a studio.

Maybe you should put a spot like this in your club.

Me either.

Meg is pissed off because Alex didn't leave a note.

Meg's not staying.

Michael has graciously agreed to act as stud for me.

Michael hasn't changed.

Michael's a possibility, but I think as a fallback position.

Michael's office called.

Mr. Weber.

Must be quick. The second half of the game's starting.

My children come first.

My clients were the scum of the earth. Extreme repulsivos.

My favourite part!

My head.

My style may be too direct.

My wife used to run them with me, but now my maid does.

Myself, I always have to open the damn car door.

Never understood a single word he said

Never. Either Richard is there, or the boys or the housekeeper.

Nice.

Nicholas, this is Richard.

Nick and Chloe will stay here and do some work at the old house.

Nick wanted to take a look at the property.

No co pilot. I slept like a baby. Even wet the bed.

No offense, Nick.

No one knows why anyone does anything. Why did I choose these socks today?

No problem.

No shit!

No writing longer than an average person can read during an average crap.

No, a journalist.

No, does a bear shit in the woods?

No, I did not say that, Molly. I said we'll see.

No, I did.

No, I think Sam is right.

No, I'm not in the mood.

No, if we'd gotten married, I'd be doing this alone.

No, it doesn't.

No, it's not that. My marriage is completely over.

No, just hold on.

No, no, that's the character I play.

No, pigeons are rats with wings.

No, thanks.

No, wait. I did that.

No, you go ahead.

No, you probably don't.

Nobody in the area. Who was he passing to?

Nobody said it was going to be fun.

Nobody thinks they're a bad person.

Nope.

Nope. I'm going back to my novel.

Not all of us have been able to see each other much these last years.

Not as much as we spend, of course.

Not in my apartment, you understand. But in the city.

Not me anyway.

Not me.

Not one of those people looks like I thought they would.

Not that you can save them, probably not.

Not this weekend she doesn't.

Nothing like you described. Not at all.

Nothing's more important than sex!

Now he brings us together again.

Now I reach millions of people every week.

Now she has a new father.

Now the equipment doesn't work at all.

Now, I'd have a chair too, right?

Now?

Of course, we don't have enough food.

Of course...

Of his screwed up life for our entertainment.

Of the Securities Exchange Commission.

Oh, Christ.

Oh, I'm in sales.

Oh, my God!

Okay, I'll buy that.

Okay, now we got a fair fight.

Okay, you're on.

Okay. How about further apart?

On KSFO in San Francisco.

One night I called you up.

One of our best friends kills himself and we don't know why.

One of them got caught in the house.

One thing I do want is a Cosmic Invaders game for my trailer...

One thing's for sure: he couldn't live with it.

Opens me up somehow.

Opportunistic or jerky or...

Or I should say, what have you evolved into now?

Or should I copy down your license plate?

Or they want to commit but are afraid to get close.

Or they're tired of space, but can't commit.

Or they've broken up with a bitch who looks like me.

Or you will surely get it.

Other than Alex dying?

Our commitment.

Passing through on their way to Florida.

People magazine sends a nasty schmuck like me...

People read Dostoyevsky in the can.

Perhaps given my style I seem more nakedly...

Please don't do this, guys.

Pleasure to meet you.

Probably thought Alex could touch that part of me...

Random series of occupations.

Randy.

Really enjoy your TV show. My boys and I watch it all the time.

Really?

Really?

Really?

Regain that hope...

Remember my father?

Remember senior year we were all going to buy that land near Saginaw?

Remember the march on Washington? Armies of the night?

Remember the night we saw them in Cobo?

Remember those lab rats who went crazy when deprived of privacy?

Remind me to get more cocaine tomorrow.

Repeat what?

Richard looked like all that had been missing in my childhood.

Richard would like that.

Right on down there. There's a spot.

Right, I'm sure you would.

Sam Weber, this is Richard.

Sarah and I were up at the Richmond place with the kids.

Sarah says to make three of those milks nonfat.

See here today all those people that Alex loved.

See? You've always been able to read me.

She didn't marry Alex.

She teaches the fourth grade. Still teaching in Harlem.

She was young when Robin and I divorced.

She won't regain her eyesight over the weekend.

She's coming right back.

She's great.

She's right here.

Shit!

Shit.

Since when did you get so friendly with cops?

Singing joy to the world

Six and a half.

So guilty.

So he's out of it?

So here I sit on my ticking biological clock.

So how did everybody sleep last night?

So how long were they together?

So I'm in the Philadelphia Public Defender's office.

So lay into me now. Really let me have it.

So my transparent efforts are more honest and admirable.

So Nick and I can watch it and kick back.

So please don't repeat it.

So that leaves Sam.

So to speak.

So we finally consummated this ancient lurking passion.

So what am I, chopped liver?

So what do you do?

So what happened to your partner?

So what would that have meant?

So what's the thrust here? We were great then and we're shit now?

So you and Alex were staying here?

So you came back from Vietnam...

So you just fell asleep?

So you want to fuck?

So you'll continue to love me no matter what?

Some of them are scum.

Some of us are scum.

Some say suicide is the ultimate act of self absorption.

Somehow I feel it isn't quite this simple.

Someone in real pain.

Sometimes I don't believe what I hear myself saying.

Sometimes I think I don't want a man anymore.

Sometimes I think I'm getting frosty myself.

Sometimes I think I've put that time down...

Sometimes I think it's confusing to her when I'm around.

Sometimes I think the thing about kids is their instant priorities.

Sometimes I wonder if I was sick of being a good girl.

Sometimes when my family's asleep, I sit downstairs and it's so quiet.

Sometimes you just have to let art...

Sometimes...

Sorry about that.

Sorry, Chloe.

Sorry, pal. Got to go.

Sorry.

Sorry.

Still the best way to determine if it's ready.

Stupid!

Suicide, despair, where did our hope go...

Super boy.

Super wet.

Superman. Super nothing.

Sure you don't mind this?

Sweetheart?

Teach them the basics, Bo. Ugliest helmets in the world.

Tell me about it. It's a cold world out there.

Tell me about the club.

Tell me.

Tell us about your past.

Thank God.

Thank you, Michael.

Thank you. Well, we'll see you out there.

Thanks, Michael.

Thanks, Toby. I appreciate it.

Thanks.

That cop has twice kept this house from being ripped off.

That I'd be okay if I did my homework...

That made me want to go to Harlem and teach ghetto kids.

That might be better.

That must have eluded Alex.

That pass, I can't believe it.

That people our age with histories like ours...

That shit they got about your marriage wasn't from me.

That the good Lord had a plan.

That there was always something about Alex...

That was a clean hit.

That was a terrible thing to say.

That was too good for this world.

That was unpredictable and magic.

That was, what, '78 or so?

That way, I can have a piece for you this week and next week...

That wherever he is now...

That won't be necessary. We took a secret vote.

That's a crock of shit!

That's all I'm saying. If I hate my life, it's my problem.

That's cashmere! Give me that.

That's going to be our little secret.

That's healthy. The only way to avoid pain is to pretend you don't care.

That's how Alex could afford to buy the land.

That's how I feel.

That's interesting.

That's nice.

That's not true. You entertain people.

That's not what they told us in high school.

That's not what we're saying.

That's okay. I'm exhausted. Good night, everyone.

That's probably why he killed himself.

That's right, he was shaving. Alex had hairy wrists.

That's right, if I may. That's why I'm calling, Jim.

That's right, super boy is not getting out of this tub...

That's super boy. Super, super clean.

That's super nothing!

That's the trouble with these. You must watch them every minute.

That's very considerate. Too bad Richard left.

That's what I don't get. It's one of the things I don't get.

That's what I just said, didn't I?

That's what we all agreed. That's what we all said.

That's what's great about the outdoors: It's one giant toilet.

That's when property was a crime.

That's why I can get you guys in.

That's why I don't smoke anymore. Dope makes me stupid.

The biggest mistake I made was not trying harder to steal you from Nick.

The column I wrote about Alex when he turned down the fellowship.

The ground is ready. I need someone to plant the seed.

The offices were very clean...

The only thing I've known my entire life is that I want to have a child.

The part I was always afraid of.

The worst part was they believed me.

Then I left.

Then maybe you shouldn't.

Then one day I was driving home.

Then the construction job. What was that for?

Then tried to blow the place up. When I ask what happened, he says:

Then you had many jobs, all of which you quit.

Then, in 1972...

There is no other music in my house.

There she is.

There was something in me then...

There will be a reception...

There won't be obligations. I love him as a friend.

There you go. You've done something.

There's a great equation: Your socks, Alex's death.

There's a shift in your perceptions of the world.

There's been a lot of terrific music in the last 10 years.

There's nothing I'd rather do right now than make love to you.

There's plenty of room. It's lovely, it's great.

There's some...

There's the existential man for you. You're one tough cookie.

These are the best guys I know. My favourite men in the world.

These feel great.

They have no self control.

They may know they do dishonest or manipulative things...

They only slept together a few times.

They think it'll turn out for the best.

They want to get close and you don't want them near.

They were running a tape of one of my shows.

They're either married or gay.

They're flying up a new quarterback from Texas or something.

They're in transition from a monogamous relationship and need space.

They're living with you too?

They're more important than sex.

They're pretty sad socks.

Things weren't really the same.

Think he saved it because he hated it?

Think we could stall him for a while?

Think!

This bed has always been lucky for Sarah and me.

This certainly is a familiar scene.

This guy claims to be a guest. That true?

This is a big decision.

This is a well known dynamic.

This is all so familiar.

This is Chloe.

This is great. This is really great.

This is happening because we miss him. And we're really hurting.

This is my lawyer. I don't have to take this.

This is not Alex.

This is not bad. Good, clean style.

This is one of those times.

This is the empty shell of his body.

This isn't the time. Just drop it.

This place means something to me. I'm dug in.

Thought Elaine's was dead.

To coordinate the airport transport?

To do interviews. Big deal.

To enter the doctoral program in psychology.

To get into another line of work.

To try to...

Too bad I'm an atheist.

Too bad you weren't around to comfort Alex as compassionately.

Try me.

Twenty seven and twenty eight.

Two revolutionaries.

Two, three, four.

Unfortunately, I found out Nick is no longer a candidate.

Until he's as clean as a whistle.

Video games? You relax with video games?

Wait a minute! "...but money is the honey."

Wait a minute. What is that, a lude?

Wait, you mean you and Richard...?

Wait!

Wait.

Walk.

Want to?

Was a good friend of mine

Was it about Karen?

Watch out for that stick shift!

We all feel that way.

We all got over it.

We ate at a Chinese restaurant. When they brought the fortune cookies...

We can take from here today.

We cleaned it up.

We didn't even have any drugs.

We didn't have any money.

We expected something of each other then. We needed that.

We give first preference to people who kill themselves in our bathroom.

We go back a long way.

We got together and hypered each other into a frenzy.

We have a room downstairs.

We know you can.

We never wanted Harold to think that...

We put on a great funeral here.

We saw him a lot. But he didn't tell us much.

We'll make room.

We're afraid just the opposite is true.

We're deep in the third quarter.

We're leaving. Have you seen Chloe?

We're not leaving. We're never leaving.

We're on the air here.

We're telling the truth.

We're trying to avoid dealing with Alex.

We've had offers.

Well, actually...

Well, good morning.

Well, he was cute.

Well, I knew you two weren't exactly...

Well, I think I've had enough.

Well, it's almost that romantic.

Well, it's called an anus.

Well, it's not like talking to you.

Well, let me know.

Well, we did.

Well, why don't you just tell everybody?

Well, you know.

Went back to be with the kids.

Were you here?

What about my career?

What are they calling that?

What are we afraid of? To show our emotions?

What are we doing?

What are you doing...

What are you getting at? I was evolving.

What are you going to do?

What are you saying?

What are you selling?

What are you talking about?

What could I say? He knows that Sam is staying...

What did it was...

What do you mean?

What do you mean? I made him famous.

What do you mean? It would've told us something.

What do you think about this latest brainstorm of Michael's?

What does the super towel get the super boy? Super clean, right?

What happened between him and Sarah...

What happened to me in Vietnam?

What happened with that?

What have you got, an oil leak? Can I give you a hand?

What is it with you?

What is that?

What is this, published somewhere?

What is this?

What really did it, and I hate to admit it, even now.

What the hell. L'Chaim!

What was the argument about?

What was the other thing?

What were you going to write about before?

What will you do now?

What, it's about a six and a half?

What, what?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What?

What? I didn't throw the ball.

What? No, Alex was staying down here at the summer house.

What're you doing up? Why didn't you come in?

What's for dessert?

What's that?

What's the flight schedule here? Is there any way...

What's the matter, Nick?

What's this?

What's wrong with you? What's happened to you?

What's your shoe size?

When a man like Alex...

When do you get off from school?

When I lost touch with this group...

When I saw it, I said I have one friend in the world who'd appreciate it.

When I think back on it now...

When it was over, everything went back to how it was before.

When it's over...

When Robin and I broke up, I had a million good reasons.

When you're a mother you can be mean.

Where did Alex's hope go?

Where do you get those stories?

Where I work we have only one editorial rule:

Where is Nick? I can't believe he's missing this.

Where is this? I'm going to Hollywood.

Where to?

Where will we put them?

Where'd Chloe go?

Where'd it go?

Which doesn't mean he'll have sex with them.

Which is what we all do, but their styles are so warm...

Who do you think you are, John Beresford Tipton?

Who knows if it's even there?

Who paradoxically chose to turn his back on science...

Who said that? Freud?

Who will you tell next? Michael?

Who would've thought we'd both make so much bread?

Who'd you think your clients would be? Grumpy and Sneezy?

Who's Chloe?

Who's going to be the lucky farmer?

Who's that?

Who's this?

Why are you doing this to me?

Why do we have to talk about that?

Why does he do a thing like that?

Why does this sound like a massive rationalization?

Why should he have a problem with it?

Why talk about it? I made my decision.

Why this happened.

Why? You have more people to tell about the stock thing?

Will be at Westglade Memorial Park.

Will play one of Alex's favourite songs.

Will you marry me?

Wise up, folks. We're alone out there.

With legal names and legal obligations.

Would you prefer we got into heavy drugs?

Yeah, he's out. It's just me, looking for investors.

Yeah, I'm really sorry.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah, till Sarah kicks me out.

Yeah? What're you going to do?

Yeah.

Yes, sir, Mr. Cooper. It was my pleasure.

Yes, sir, Mr. Cooper. Sir.

Yes, sir, Officer.

Yes, you did.

Yes, you do, all right.

Yes. Just a minute.

You all right?

You also come up against a question of style.

You and Richard have built something for yourselves.

You and your kids come out to L.A., move into my house.

You are in no condition to discuss this now.

You asked Sam.

You can imagine.

You can reach Nick here for a while.

You can't change people's lives!

You can't go in there.

You can't run in those shoes. I'll get you some good shoes.

You did?

You don't have that problem here.

You don't have to handle yourself with us.

You don't know anything about me.

You don't know.

You don't realize they're trying to get what they want.

You don't want to miss any of the Blue.

You forgot your Dramamine.

You got it? Great!

You got the money?

You hate your life. That's your problem.

You have a hard top.

You have that effect on people? Keep them all jolly, do you?

You heard about my divorce.

You helped me.

You helped.

You jerk off?

You know I always wanted you to try.

You know I don't like you.

You know my life with Richard isn't working.

You know the secret of Richard?

You know we can do it. We've done it.

You know you must protect and provide for them...

You know, I don't do anything.

You know, I live here.

You know, I really can do it.

You know, it's raining.

You know, Pete. He does look suspicious to me too.

You know, you're fucking stupid.

You know, you're something.

You know...

You look great!

You made sure everyone knew.

You never learn, do you?

You remember. Alex used to call me Sam the Sham.

You remind me of Alex.

You returned to the University of Michigan...

You talking about me?

You think everything's boring.

You think it's time we should be thinking about Alex?

You want it?

You want me to what?

You want to come along?

You were hallucinating pretty bad that night.

You were right. It was okay.

You wouldn't say that if it was the "Lost Hope Diet."

You'd have your own table waiting at all times.

You'd never get a crowd this big at my funeral.

You'll explain everything?

You're a doctor. Doctors know everything.

You're a much better person than that.

You're dashing. Dashing!

You're no fun.

You're not afraid of snakes, are you?

You're not going to use that old excuse, are you?

You're so analytical.

You're so deep.

You're the one she always wanted.

You've given me a massive headache.

You've got good genes.

Your feet.

25 bucks he's hitting me for!

All evidence to the contrary. You're just taking a position.

But I don't know. You do.

Could he summed it up in a note? Maybe a long note.

Did he hear from you? I tried. He resisted.

Enjoy that second half, now. Will do.

For one, he ran a red light. No, I didn't.

Great. Good morning, youngsters.

Harold. Sam.

Harold's not good enough for you? Are you kidding? I'd love it.

He became verbally abusive. You got etiquette laws here?

He came down for Alex's funeral. Maybe.

He clipped him. What are you talking about?!

Here, I'll get it. No, I'll get it.

Hey, Nick. How you doing?

How could you know? Nobody knew.

How you doing, Harold? Not bad.

How's your life? Great.

I didn't say anything about that. I saw that smile.

I don't need it. God knows I don't.

I lived with Alex. Before that.

I've improved on it. Now it's edible?

Let's drop it! Say you believe me.

Like I was a pervert. What did I say?

Like what? Say anything.

Manipulative? Whatever.

Meg, what's your shoe size? Who wants to know?

No, I don't. You know.

Puke first, of course. Stand aside!

Really, I can't. I accept that!

Say, baby, let's eat. Come on, big guy!

Should we push the beds together? Why?

The meal is ready. Let's go. J.T. Lancer!

The pasta's ruined now. You get money when that airs?

They're harmless. They eat mosquitoes. I'm going to wash my hair and puke.

Turn that off. No, it's great!

Two at once? He's done a lot of pec work.

We should think of the others. Don't want to be selfish.

Well, you're looking fit. So are you.

What are you talking about? You know.

What is that? Clipping.

What kind of towel? Super towel.

What? I don't want to hear this. What do you mean?

What's this? Towel.

Who wants to be next? Like what?

Why do you say that? Why should anything have changed?

Yeah, I'm fine. Good.

Yes, this is Dr. Cooper. What's that?

You don't remember my writing. Sure I do.

You really don't want to? I must.

You won't amputate, will you? I got to see.

You're all welcome in New York. Great!

You're kidding. That's great!

You're sweeping me off my feet. I thought you wanted a kid.

Your feet grow as you get older. I wish everything did.

Your maid? That's how she learned English.

Yours? Not so great.

"Friendship is the bread of life..."

"I want a Margarita now!"

"I was in Montreal at the time."
