The Lost Daughter Edit

A sea snake. Yeah.

Actually 51.

Actually, I'm gonna take the jacket too. Thank you.

Ah! [chuckling]

Ah. Mmm.

All right?

All right.

All right. Come to Auntie, baby. Come on. Come to Auntie.

All the fucking shit… that I came from.

Am I an arsehole?

An inside joke.

An object…

And Bianca has big breasts, and Martha has almost none, like a boy.

And Bianca's school and Martha's daycare.

And Cole looked like

And comparative literature.

And fancy dresses.

And feed them to you like peanuts.

And find Neni tomorrow when it's not raining, right, honey?

And he'll get you a couple of sodas. Thank you very much.

And he's fucking crazy about me.

And her.

And I just work here for the summers, but, uh…

And I labeled which is for which days…

And I promise I'm gonna bring this back to Auden,

And if I move…

And it seems to me that she has anticipated

And it was just… I mean, it was… [sputters]

And leave the… Oh, no.

And send 'em out to Philly for their birthdays.

And she can't get rid of her cold, so…

And she doesn't realize how beautiful she is.

And she thinks I've given the best of myself to Bianca.

And she wears a padded bra and it sort of humiliates her.

And she would never let herself feel deprived.

And then as soon as I gave birth, big breasts.

And then they all rent one of these huge villas by the cliffs.

And then today we're gonna get a doll for a big girl.

And we should put him in a cage and decorate the cage.

And with Nina. She can get spacey.

And you know those uni shells?

And you were saying that, um, your kids are my age?

And, oh, also the pediatrician's…

And, um I mean, I'll call every night at dinner, so… Thank you, thank you! Ah!

And, um, I do understand. And, like…

And, um, when I was about Martha's age, I felt like she hadn't shared it.

And, well, maybe your girls. Being away from your girls, you know?

Are from Leeds. Well, Shipley, really.

Are they okay?

Are you all right, Mama?

Are you angry?

Are you home now, Mummy?

Are you ignoring me?

Are you married?

Are you not hard? [clears throat]

Are you okay?

Are you…

As Simone Weil says,

At all. She won't sleep unless I'm in the bed with her.

Aw! Okay, babies. I can't wait to see you too. I love you.

Aw.

Baby, we will. I promise you.

Baby… Babe…

Barely 100. She's… She's okay.

Because she is always in the water.

Because then you'll have nice nails.

Because they're bad people.

Because you're beautiful.

Because, God, he comes from the heart.

Bia…

Bia… I can't…

Bianca, can you turn the phone around? I can't… I can't hear Martha.

Bianca, no!

Bianca!

Bianca!

Bianca!

Bianca!

Bianca!

Bianca!

Bianca!

Bianca? Do you want me to help you do your buttons up in the back?

Bianca's like her father.

Blue Lives Matter! Blue Lives Matter! Blue Lives Matter!

Bourdieu…

Bourdieu's mistake is that he often forgot the first part of his own name.

Brava, brava! [laughing]

Bright and white.

But Bianca and Martha, it's funny.

But Bianca is completely different,

But I brought you presents. Hmm?

But I don't understand.

But I'm happy.

But it looks like you're married, so…

But it passes.

But unthought.

But we have family in this town for, like, 300 years.

But what I really want to consider,

But, um, they come from nowhere, so what are they worth?

Bye.

Come on, what do you fucking need? Do need me on my knees?

Come on.

Come on. Elena, let Mama put you down. Come on.

Come to the sea, Mommy.

Congratulations, baby, you're an expert. Huh?

Could I order up some wine, please?

Daddy's away, and you're taking it out on me.

Damn, you're lucky.

Daughters. 25 and 23.

Did Daddy give you a DVD?

Did you bring a snack?

Did you find that remote? You know, for the fan?

Did you think that the doll that the doll wasn't good for us?

Did you use the ointment I gave you?

Didn't even know that about myself.

Dinner is in 20 minutes in the dining room.

Do they go and dry up?

Do you have grandkids already?

Do you know what I'm talking about?

Do you mind if I finish my dinner now, Lyle?

Do you need me to cut my balls off? What do you need? Tell me.

Do you think I'm a fucking idiot? Huh?

Do you think that I'm ever gonna get my doll?

Do you wanna have dinner with me?

Does your dad know someone?

Doesn't have much to do with me.

Don't bother buying her another doll. It won't make any difference.

Don't let anything break.

Don't let it break.

Don't let it break. Peel it like a snake.

Don't say that.

Driving me fucking crazy.

E il loro vero padre era Zeus.

Elena!

Elena!

Elena?

Enough. Stop. Enough! Stop acting like this. Let me…

Even in crisis.

Everybody ran into the cafe, and then it got too crowded.

Except the littlest.

Excuse me, do you need some help?

Excuse me, please, we're trying to watch this film.

Excuse us.

Felt like I'd been trying not to explode and then I exploded.

For her…

For metaphysical meaning.

Forty five?

Forty four?

Forty seven?

Forty three?

Forty two?

From "The Crisis." Hmm?

From childhood, even.

From Martha's Vineyard to Nantucket on the backs of whales.

Fuck you!

Fuck you!

Fuck!

Fuck! This is fucked!

Fuck. I have to go.

Fucking brilliant. You're so fucking brilliant.

Further that way, okay?

Get up!

Get up!

Get up!

Get up.

Get up.

Get up. Get up.

Get… Mmm.

Give her to me.

God!

Gosh, I should really lean into that second syllable,

Guys, there's a fucking person here.

Happy birthday.

Have a seat.

Have you been waiting a long time?

Have you ever read "Leda and the Swan"?

Have you got his cock in your mouth, you can't answer me?

He goes round.

He has investments in Kalamata.

He is a serious scholar, but

He says my breasts are exactly the size of his hand.

He turned around in slow motion. He was absolutely raging.

He was saying that I had anticipated Ricœur's work on translation and…

He was saying that, um…

He was… No, he was talking about the Auden publication.

He's not supposed to be here until tomorrow.

Hello, little hug monkeys.

Hello!

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello.

Hello. Sorry, I think this is my car.

Her doll.

Her husband doesn't leave till Sunday, so before that, it's impossible.

Here you go.

Here you go. That about does it.

Here, you can leave your bag here.

Here. Why don't you play with Mini Mama?

Hey, little one. Are you feeling better?

Hey, what's the big deal?

Hey! If you can't control yourselves, we're gonna have to call the usher.

Hey.

Hey. Hey, sweetie, did you ever find your doll?

Hi, sweetheart.

Hi.

Hi. There's a group of boys being extremely disruptive in theater two.

Hikers.

His eyes were going to…

Hiss.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Hmm.

Hmm.

Hmm. And do they look like you?

Honestly, I don't even know what to say to you.

Hospitality comes in holding one's attention,

How about his name, Ricœur…

How are his daughters doing?

How high was the temperature?

How much is a bottle, actually? I'm celebrating.

Huh?

I abandoned them and I didn't see them for three years.

I also wasted a lot of time. [chuckles]

I bet you know it by heart.

I came by to congratulate you on your success tonight.

I can't…

I did soak some black beans, but didn't get a chance to… Do you cook?

I didn't realize you were here.

I do think you're an arsehole.

I do, actually.

I don't know what to call it.

I don't know.

I don't know. It's hard to say, if I'm honest. They probably do.

I don't let it go anywhere. I just…

I don't like it when the peel breaks.

I don't think badly of anyone.

I don't want to bother you, but, uh, if you like octopus,

I don't want to see you right now. I don't want to see you right now!

I don't want to talk about him.

I don't want you to think badly of me.

I don't…

I gave Mina to you because I trusted you to take care of her.

I had to rake the entire beach looking for it.

I hate talking to my kids on the phone.

I have depression, or something…

I have three kids.

I have, uh, something to ask you.

I haven't… I haven't even… I haven't even read his recent work.

I heard you're a professor.

I honestly can't remember much, actually.

I hope they find the doll.

I just don't remember.

I just mean, did your daughters give you a hard time when they were little?

I just wanted to come say thank you. [clears throat]

I know he can make whales.

I know you saw me with Will.

I left.

I like it. Yeah.

I like when it comes off in one long whatsit?

I love you too.

I love you. [chuckles]

I loved… I loved the jokes about their names.

I made dinner for Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

I mean, teachers get to take the whole summer off. That's nice.

I mean, you're too young. You must've started really early.

I met my husband so young.

I missed you.

I need to give you something else too.

I only have, like, five minutes before Callie finishes shopping.

I promise.

I saw a car. I thought, "Hey, she's back from the beach already."

I saw you at the beach today. Callie's birthday party.

I saw you.

I sometimes put a teaspoon of olive oil…

I taught them all how to swim.

I think I would find that disgusting. Or was that a dirty joke?

I think it's raining…

I think you should do what you want.

I thought I was gonna die.

I thought you couldn't come till Monday.

I thought you said you're pregnant with your first.

I thought you were from Queens. I swear.

I told the kids today. You didn't have them the other day.

I understand that, but I have no desire to move.

I used my key downstairs.

I used to fill them with cotton balls

I used to have a doll like that. Called Mina.

I want a whale one.

I want to wait until you're inside me.

I wanted to peel it like a snake like you do. [sniffles]

I was just thinking of calling you. Just got in from the beach.

I will. Thank you.

I won't move from here.

I work at the beach house, so…

I…

I… I can't hear her scream anymore.

I'll call every I left my mum's number.

I'll look out for some for your girls.

I'll turn the air on in the… in the bedroom.

I'm a professor.

I'm a very selfish person.

I'm an unnatural mother.

I'm barely working.

I'm Callie.

I'm from Cambridge, near Boston.

I'm happy with Elena, with with everything.

I'm home today.

I'm just gonna close my eyes for a few seconds, baby. Okay?

I'm just gonna take the dress and the shoes and the socks.

I'm leaving tonight. The apartment's gonna be empty till the end of the month.

I'm mean too.

I'm not sure it's persuasive.

I'm on holiday. I'm looking out over the most

I'm really tired. I'm, like, scary tired.

I'm so sorry. That was… I'm so mean.

I'm sorry, Walter. Walter is sensitive. Where is he?

I'm sorry.

I'm suffocating.

I'm taking them to your mum's. I can't handle this.

I'm their mother. I went back 'cause I missed them.

I'm Will.

I'm working.

I'm…

I've arranged a seat for you.

I've been following you for, like, ten minutes.

I've been really turned on by Ricœur's recent thinking

I've called you so many times for dinner.

I've cleaned it. It'll just take two minutes.

If it felt amazing, then why did you go back to your daughters?

If it's all right with you.

Il fulmine!

Is anyone there?

Is everything all right?

Is that which is not only ineffable [clicks tongue]

Is that your experience?

Is this your place?

It doesn't?

It felt amazing.

It just gets really dry when you dye it so much.

It means "mean."

It means the most beautiful.

It really hurts.

It was a real party.

It was all my own thinking.

It would be interesting to see his tactics as he renews his pursuit this evening.

It's all right. [chuckles]

It's almost 5:00.

It's amazing to see. Amazing.

It's just moving down the beach a few feet.

It's just something I taught them.

It's just switching umbrellas so my family can be together.

It's just, you're in the sun. I could move your chair if you'd like.

It's lovely here.

It's my birthday.

It's not ruined.

It's nothing really, but she should have a teaspoon of elderberry in the morning.

It's okay, she's wearing your big hat. We'll find her, okay?

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's pink.

It's so good. Hold on.

Jesus.

Joe, I'm feeling dizzy.

Joe, this has nothing to do with that.

Judy Garland was a fucking genius.

Just don't want them to go bad. [inhales]

Just give me a minute here, okay?

Just let me know if I can do anything for you.

Kiss it.

La grande ala…

Leda Caruso is inside Auden's private mythology.

Leda.

Leda. Leda what?

Leda's the most extraordinary scholar of modern Italian literature.

Lena.

Life is so different without kids.

Like her viciousness was for my own good.

Like pushing a plate away if the food's repulsive.

Like, in creating me she'd separated herself,

Like, when I was younger, I had small breasts.

Listen to me. Don't you dare, ever again.

Long time ago, at some point, I considered,

Look, I'm sorry about earlier as well. I was feeling a bit anxious.

Lyle? You give him €20 and he's not gonna say anything.

Mama, how do you write "volcano"?

Mama, where are you going?

Mama!

Mama! [crying]

Mama! Mama!

Mama? Mama?

Mama. Is this how you write "volcano"? Is this how you write "volcano"?

Martha grew up worrying about me.

Martha, baby.

Martha, this is Daddy's teacher's house. Take your shoes off, now.

Martha. Go on. Go say hello.

Martha's got a little cold.

Me too.

Mm mmm. I can't stay for dinner, baby. I've got to get on an airplane.

Mm, I remember.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm.

Mmm. Not since the '80s.

Mmm. Yeah.

Mommy, get up!

Monday's fine.

Must've been lonely here.

Mwah.

My aunt asked me to ask you.

My father in law used to say there was a time when you could have walked

My grandma used to use hat pins. It won't fall off now.

My mother didn't even finish school.

My mother was very beautiful.

My mum used to get quite dizzy.

My sister in law had hers right away.

Nice to have a place like this, just down the stairs.

Nina asked me to.

Nina was wondering if you would be willing to lend us your place for a few hours.

Nina, you gotta put something on her 'cause it's cold now.

Nina!

Nina!

Nina's very beautiful.

No, but also like the rainbow colored. You have that?

No, but that's Callie's aunt, I think.

No, I mean, where are your people from?

No, I prefer to pull the string to turn it on.

No, I take care of it. For 30 years now.

No, I won't let anything break.

No, I'm alive actually.

No, no, I'm studying in Dublin,

No, no, no, that's fine. That's fine.

No, please. Let me.

No, thank you.

No, thank you.

No, Will, the caretaker knows Nina and has business with her husband.

No, you hang up first. It's better that way.

No, you're fine as you are.

No! I'm gonna cut your tiny, little dicks off

No? Sea urchins, you know…

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No. Fuck that, lady. [mutters]

No. I want you to do something about it.

No. She's mine.

Not 'cause you talk like it, but just, like… something.

Not daughters.

Not real songs. Just messing around. They liked that.

Nothing needs to pass, Lyle. I feel fine.

Now I'm gonna have fun. What do you say, sweetheart?

Now, now, it'll pass.

Of course you can take care of them.

Of the universe

Oh, baby.

Oh, for my back. Yeah, it feels much better.

Oh, fuck me? Fuck me?

Oh, fuck, yeah.

Oh, he'd cut my throat.

Oh, I love this song!

Oh, I thought he was married to the older, heavyset woman.

Oh, I'm fine. I'm still half full.

Oh, I'm reading the most astounding piece on Auden's "The Crisis" by Leda Caruso,

Oh, is everything okay?

Oh, little thing.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God. Oh, my…

Oh, my goodness. Um, that's… Uh…

Oh, no, just a just a glass. [chuckles]

Oh, no. No. Oh, I have something for you.

Oh, octopus.

Oh, okay.

Oh, poor creatures that came out of my belly.

Oh, right. No, that's fine, uh…

Oh, sure.

Oh, thank you.

Oh, that's a different… that's a different Yeats.

Oh, well, I wasn't exactly at the party. I didn't see you.

Oh, yeah, I am in the sun.

Oh!

Oh! Caruso from Queens.

Oh! So pretty.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

Oh. Okay.

Okay, by tonight, you're gonna feel amazing.

Okay, thank you.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Hat.

Okay. I see.

Okay. Love you. Bye. Bye bye. [kissing]

Okay. That's in English.

On linguistic hospitality and…

Only call her if you can't get through to anyone else.

Only half seriously, considered having implants.

Open your eyes.

Or does she just drink green tea?

Or Mini Mama, as my mother called her.

Or, what are you, a teacher?

Ouch.

Ow! Fuck! Ouch!

Palpitante…

Peel it like a snake…

People are so fucked up. [gasps]

Pink villa.

Please, Mama, Mama, Mama, Mama. Please.

Please?

Please.

Please. Please, can you kiss it?

Please. Please, can you peel it like a snake?

Please. Please. Please. Please. Come on.

Poor little thing. Checking that I ate, didn't die at night, like a little mama.

Pulling the ol' string, eh?

Ricœur's recent thinking on linguistic hospitality.

Right, right, ahem, yeah, comparative literature.

Sconcertante.

Sconcertante.

See you tomorrow.

See? That's all better.

She doesn't want me to do fucking anything.

She doesn't want you to talk to me?

She feels deprived.

She made me feel like she wanted to remake me.

She needs a Kleenex. We're furious.

She needs her medicine.

She pointed out I'm finicky about peeling fruit.

She said it's 'cause she stood up too fast.

She sucks everything out of me. All my secret skills.

She wants her doll. Shit.

She, um… Every time she stood up, happened all the time.

She's got chicken pox?

She's okay.

She's, like, had a fever, she can't breathe at night.

Shit.

Shit. No.

Shouting at other people. Disruptive.

Show Mama and the lady what a good girl you are, okay?

Show me your dress.

Si, ragazza.

Since I was born that makes sense.

So I don't have to take responsibility for that.

So what makes Bianca seductive and Martha not, and vice versa.

So you can just plug that in at night. And she loves Cheetah.

So you ran away together?

Some Champagne, please.

Something happened.

Sometimes I just can't handle it.

Sometimes it's easier for strangers in these situations.

Sorry, excuse me.

Sorry.

Sounds like a nice way to grow up.

Sounds like the loveliest thing. What am I toasting?

Staggering girl.

Sulla ragazza…"

Sure. Excuse me.

Thank God you were here. Thank God.

Thank God, because whenever one tries to suppress doubt,

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you. Actually, have you got any Champagne?

That doesn't sound amazing.

That Esslin's Theatre of the Absurd…

That is revenge.

That looks so awful. Did you put something on it?

That robe.

That was a fun night. I think maybe you better go home.

That, yeah. That I had anticipated Ricœur's work on translation,

That's crazy, she just had a little cold. Does she have a fever?

That's fuck… Lazy.

That's not really a fever.

That's okay.

That's our… That's… That's our water gun.

That's quite a long one.

That's terrible.

That's where we're mostly from,

The apple…

The bits I find most beautiful about them are the bits that are alien to me.

The gift you gave Nina. She was really grateful for your kindness.

The problem for me is why did they schedule them so close together?

The real big ones. [chuckles]

The usher! The usher! She's gonna call the usher, yo.

Their father and my mum, and then I came back for them.

There is tyranny.

There we go, my big girl. Oh! [grunts]

There you go. You got your color back.

There's something wrong with her. She's not sleeping.

There's this great poem by María Guerra.

There's water in there.

There's, uh, Nespresso and ice pops and things.

These things happen when they're supposed to happen.

These.

They are in London, with their mother.

They do?

They don't.

They grew up with their mom, in Philly.

They like a toy, they take it. That's it.

They must be doing the Catamount Trail.

They really put us through it, huh?

They're all freaking out and…

They're boys.

They're little fucking girls. How am I supposed to do this?

They're red.

They're so soft when they're young. Their little bodies.

This is my doll. You can't treat her like shit.

This is so fresh, you could even eat it raw.

This is the paper I'm giving.

This is unacceptable! I'm calling the police!

This should've been done before. So this lady also has to move.

This was literally swimming an hour ago.

This was Mama's doll when she was a little girl.

Thought you said you were in a hurry.

Three, two, one.

Thrilling.

Took me eight years.

Twelve, nine and seven.

Two grown up children.

Ugh!

Ugh.

Uh, Bianca is 25 and Martha is 23.

Uh, do you have a lemon?

Uh, I teach, yeah.

Uh, I told Callie that I was gonna go and get some nose drops for Elena

Uh, just let me know if you need anything.

Uh, make yourself at home and I'll be back with the other ones.

Uh, mm…

Uh, yeah, I'm at the last store by the boats. It sells vintage jewelry.

Uh…

Uh… [scoffs]

Uh… Oh, shit.

Um, can you just hang on one minute, sweetheart?

Um, I also left a humidifier beside her bed,

Um, I'm just not really sure I'll be able to afford a ticket on such short notice.

Um, no, I I have, like, literally a minute. I just…

Um, should I prepare a paper to present, or…

Um, so if she's a bit upset at nighttime, you can give her Cheetah.

Um, we'll get something later. Why don't you go up there and play?

Um…

Um…

Um…

Um…

Um…

Umbrellas started blowing away, people's books, towels, yeah.

Up.

Vassili is Callie's husband.

Very high minded. It always brings **** to mind.

We are obliged to do so many stupid things.

We found her and then she lost

We put you on a diet and you're eating all this cake.

We saw sparrows and robins!

We used to hang them on the clotheslines, like the old ladies do.

We were all… messed up.

We were saying before, you couldn't be more than 40.

We'd write songs together. They liked that, when I told them.

Well, give me a second to get dressed.

Well, it's a girl. So, you know.

Well, it's a working holiday.

Well, my oldest is 50.

Well, thank you for the opportunity. [chuckles]

Well, they blame me.

Well, welcome to Kyopeli.

Well, you're in good company.

Were they like this willful little creature?

What are you drinking?

What are you sitting on? Bianca!

What are you studying?

What are you working on?

What did it feel like without them?

What did you do that for?

What do you mean, old? At the most you're, what, forty?

What do you think?

What happened in the toy store?

What happened to us is the only thing that's happened to me

What happened to your back?

What I find most interesting are the secret resemblances.

What ice pops have you got?

What if I passed out, alone with them when you're in Arizona?

What the fuck is he doing here?

What were your daughters like when they were little?

What you did yesterday was amazing.

What?

What?

What?

What? You're such a piece of shit.

What's ruined?

Whee!

When are you coming back?

When the oldest was seven and the youngest was five, I left.

When you get back, I'm gonna make you come.

When you wouldn't move from the umbrella.

Where is the waiter?

Who gives a fuck?

Who took care of them?

Whoever took her should get brain cancer.

Why are you asking this of me in particular?

Why did dinosaurs die before us?

Why did you eat them?

Why did you go to someone you don't know?

Why don't you lay down for a minute?

Why don't you tell the lady how we're gonna go

Why?

Will?

Will?

Would you mind if I had a smoke?

Would you tell Nina I'd like to talk to her?

Wow, it's like talking about a film I saw in a language I didn't quite understand.

Wow.

Wow.
