1 00:00:42 Rich city folk live in fancy apartments,
2 00:00:49 but their air's so polluted, they can't even see the stars.
3 00:00:58 We'd have to be out of our minds
4 00:01:00 to trade places with any of 'em.
5 00:01:09 ...and I have four sources saying that it is.
6 00:01:11 And what did he say?
7 00:01:12 He said, "Jeannette walls,
8 00:01:15 "you are nothingbut a bottom-feeder
9 00:01:17 "with a silly littlegossip column.
10 00:01:19 "If you print this story,
11 00:01:20 "i will have my lawyerscrawl so far up your ass
12 00:01:23 "that you will taste their inkin your mouth."
13 00:01:26 Oh, my gosh!What did you say?
14 00:01:28 I thanked him forthe perfect kicker quote
15 00:01:29 and hung up the phone.
16 00:01:32 The whole office gave hera standing ovation.
17 00:01:34 And you ran it?
18 00:01:35 Oh, heck, yeah, I ran it.Where I come from,
19 00:01:37 you never miss an opportunityto serve a bully
20 00:01:39 a slice of humble pie.
21 00:01:43 Could you box this up for me?
22 00:01:45 And maybe yours, too,if you're not gonna eat it?
23 00:01:48 Yeah.
24 00:01:50 She's just kidding.
25 00:01:51 No, I'm not.I never joke about food.
26 00:01:53 So, whereare you from, miss walls?
27 00:01:56 I think I detect a slighttwang in there somewhere.
28 00:02:00 Jeannette grew up in Virginiasurrounded by trees
29 00:02:03 and fields of wild flowers.If we could all be so lucky.

34 00:02:17 and they love it, yeah.

36 00:02:22 My mom is an artist.
37 00:02:24 My dad, um, is an engineer.
38 00:02:27 He's developinga technology that'll burn
39 00:02:29 low-grade bituminous coalmore efficiently.

42 00:02:36 I sure will.
43 00:02:38 And what do they think of you
44 00:02:39 hitching upwith this big city boy?

109 00:07:21 What happened here?
110 00:07:22 He fell off the couch
111 00:07:23 and cracked his headopen on the floor.
112 00:07:25 He's fine.
113 00:07:26 There was blood everywhere.
114 00:07:28 You should check him in.
115 00:07:29 One kid in the hospitalat a time is enough.
116 00:07:32 Besides,Brian's head is so hard,
117 00:07:34 I think the floor tookmore damage than he did.
118 00:07:38 Mr. walls, I don't findany of this very funny.

136 00:08:36 Okay.
137 00:08:38 In order to pull this off,
138 00:08:40 every fiber in your beinghas got to believe
139 00:08:42 that this is real.
140 00:08:44 If you canconvince yourself,
141 00:08:45 then you can convince them,too. You got it?
142 00:08:50 Good.Let's see that poker face.

147 00:10:02 Ready to go!Brian, wrap it up!
148 00:10:05 Bye!
149 00:11:04 I've been lookin'into this new solarban glass.
150 00:11:07 It lets in the light,but blocks the radiation.
151 00:11:10 It will drastically reduceour energy demands.
152 00:11:14 Is it still gonna have glasswalls and a glass ceiling?
153 00:11:18 Of course! How else we gonnasee the stars at night?
154 00:11:21 You think my room can haveglass stairs goin' up to it?
155 00:11:26 That's a great idea.Uh, baby, take the wheel.
156 00:11:30 Structurally, we couldmake that work
157 00:11:33 if it was a spiralwith a steel stringer.
158 00:11:36 That way all the weightpushes in toward the middle.
159 00:11:40 Just don't let it blockany light to my studio.
160 00:11:43 I need full exposure.
161 00:11:44 Oh, I like full exposurefrom you, dear.
162 00:11:50 You really thinkwe'll build it?
163 00:11:52 Of course.
164 00:11:53 When?
165 00:11:54 You know, this running aroundis only temporary.
166 00:11:57 We just needthe perfect location,
167 00:12:00 and then we can getto work on our castle.
168 00:12:04 - Okay, now who needs a book?- Me!
169 00:12:07 Me!
170 00:12:08 You can drive.
171 00:12:10 Here's a newZane grey adventure.
172 00:12:12 And, oh, look...
173 00:12:14 You'll love this one,Jeannette.
174 00:12:16 Black beauty.
175 00:12:18 It's like uncle tom's cabinbut for horses.
176 00:12:21 Doctor Taylor said
177 00:12:22 stayin' home and readingbooks on our own
178 00:12:24 isn't a well-roundededucation.
179 00:12:27 Mmm. Really?
180 00:12:29 He said we should be goin'to a real school.
181 00:12:32 A real school, huh?
182 00:12:47 He's gonna kill us!
183 00:12:56 Everyone out!
184 00:12:58 Come on!
185 00:13:00 Look at this!
186 00:13:02 All those Juniperand Joshua trees
187 00:13:04 have adapted to survive
188 00:13:06 on only five inchesof rainfall a year.
189 00:13:09 That inselberg was formedfrom cooling magma
190 00:13:13 over a hundred millionyears ago.
191 00:13:15 Pretty soon the sun's comin'down, we'll be watchin'
192 00:13:18 Orion and aquariusand horologium
193 00:13:21 rotate through the night sky.
194 00:13:24 This is as realas it gets, kids!
195 00:13:27 And don't let no dumb-assdoctor tell you different.
196 00:13:31 You learn from living!
197 00:13:34 Everything else is a damn lie.
198 00:13:37 Oh! Look at that!
199 00:13:39 What is it, baby?
200 00:13:41 That is the most beautifultree I have ever seen!
201 00:13:45 Someone get my canvas!
202 00:13:47 Looks like we'll besleepin' here tonight, kids.
203 00:13:51 This is actually greatfor your posture.
204 00:13:55 You know, the Indiansnever use pillows either,
205 00:13:57 and look how straightthey stand.
206 00:14:02 Why that one?
207 00:14:06 The wind's beenbeatin' that tree down
208 00:14:07 since the day it was born.
209 00:14:09 But it refuses to fall.
210 00:14:13 It's the strugglethat gives it its beauty.
211 00:14:49 Dad.
212 00:14:52 Dad?
213 00:14:54 Huh?
214 00:14:56 I think maybe I sawsomething out there.
215 00:15:01 All right.Did you get
216 00:15:06 Not really.
217 00:15:10 Was he a big ol' hairyson of a bitch
218 00:15:14 with the damndest lookin'teeth and claws?
219 00:15:18 Maybe.Mmm-hmm.
220 00:15:21 And, uh,
221 00:15:23 did it have pointy ears andevil eyes with fire in 'em?
222 00:15:29 You've seen him, too?
223 00:15:31 Oh, yeah, yeah. I beenchasin' that demon for years.
224 00:15:37 Where'd you see him?
225 00:15:41 Ow!
226 00:15:45 We gotta get that off you.
227 00:15:50 It's okay.Fire can't get you here.
228 00:15:54 We're just gonna let thiswound breathe a little. Yeah?
229 00:16:00 Now, I want you to justhold this puppy right there.
230 00:16:07 You see the top of the flames
231 00:16:08 where the yellow dissolvesinto the heat?
232 00:16:12 That zone is known in physics
233 00:16:14 as the boundary betweenturbulence and order.
234 00:16:19 It's a placewhere no rules apply.
235 00:16:23 Or at least they haven'tfigured 'em out yet.
236 00:16:27 That's all life is,
237 00:16:29 bunch of molecules bouncin'off each other at random.
238 00:16:34 So there's no point in tryin'to find a reason or pattern
239 00:16:39 for why you were bornat a certain time
240 00:16:42 and why you gotbit by that fire.
241 00:16:45 You just got a littletoo close to the chaos is all.
242 00:16:52 You understand?
243 00:16:58 I'm not sure I do either.
244 00:17:04 There. How's that feel?
245 00:17:30 Jeannette?Yeah?
246 00:17:32 I've got a surprisefor you in here.
247 00:17:36 Okay!
248 00:17:39 You... you said it was fun.
249 00:17:42 No. I said it was funny.
250 00:17:45 Okay, well...And it's very overpriced.
251 00:17:48 It's Italian, that's why.
252 00:17:50 Just sit down in it.Enjoy the chair for a second.
253 00:17:56 Just wiggle around in ita little bit.
254 00:18:00 You're not wiggling...There you go.
255 00:18:03 I'll take it back.That's fine.
256 00:18:05 No, no, it's fine.
257 00:18:07 Don't worry about it.I'll take the chair back.
258 00:18:08 It's not about the chair.
259 00:18:09 I...
260 00:18:11 I'm gettin' lunchwith my mom today.
261 00:18:21 I didn't tell you 'causei didn't want you to worry.
262 00:18:23 Are you gonna tell herabout us?
263 00:18:29 I'm gonna have to tell herat some point.
264 00:18:32 Okay.

266 00:18:36 Just please try to not let her
267 00:18:40 dump her crapon you this time.
268 00:18:43 That's what parents are for.
269 00:18:44 Can you just try, though?
270 00:18:46 Of course I'll try.Thank you.
271 00:18:57 Mom...
272 00:19:01 Yeah, your dad saidhe saw you pass by
273 00:19:03 in a cab the other night.
274 00:19:04 Acted likewe weren't even there.
275 00:19:07 You shouldn't be ashamed of usjust 'cause we choose
276 00:19:10 a different lifestylethan you.
277 00:19:11 Being homelessin New York City
278 00:19:13 does not countas a lifestyle choice.
279 00:19:15 Well, if we heardfrom you more,
280 00:19:17 you'd knowthat we found a lovely place
281 00:19:18 on the lower east side.
282 00:19:20 Lori says you're squattingin an abandoned building.
283 00:19:23 That does not sound safe, mom.
284 00:19:25 When did you loseyour sense of adventure?
285 00:19:28 I have a little bitof money now.
286 00:19:30 I can help you if you want.
287 00:19:31 Mmm-mmm-mmm.

289 00:19:35 Look at you.Your values are all confused.
290 00:19:43 Mmm.
291 00:19:45 So what did youwant to talk about?
292 00:19:52 I'm gettin' married.
293 00:19:57 To the accountant?
294 00:19:59 David is a financial analyst.
295 00:20:03 Well, I...I don't mean to be rude,
296 00:20:05 but isn't he a little...
297 00:20:08 Mom, David is good for me.
298 00:20:11 You mean he's got money.
299 00:20:14 I mean I'm in love with him.
300 00:20:18 Hmm.
301 00:20:22 Can I see that again?
302 00:20:28 Hmm. Well...
303 00:20:32 I just hope you've gota good plan
304 00:20:33 for telling your dad,because this

312 00:21:05 Really?He means the bill collectors.
313 00:21:08 Truck leaves in 15 minutes!
314 00:21:11 Now, there's not enough room in the cab,
315 00:21:13 so you guys arein for a real treat.
316 00:21:16 You get to ride in the back.
317 00:21:18 What?
318 00:21:19 Hey, it's notan ideal scenario for anyone,
319 00:21:22 so we'll just tryto make the best of it.
320 00:21:24 It'll be kinda likethat rotor ride at the fair.
321 00:21:26 Except withoutany lights or oxygen.
322 00:21:29 Oh, don't be so dramatic.
323 00:21:30 It'll be an adventure.
324 00:21:32 Be careful.
325 00:21:34 There you go.Okay, scoot back.
326 00:21:39 How long do we have to be back here?
327 00:21:41 Don't worry.
328 00:21:42 This'll be the last time you have to do this.

330 00:21:53 I thought that wasthe last town.

333 00:21:58 People beenstrikin' it rich here
334 00:22:00 for a hundred years.
335 00:22:02 They must've all movedsomewhere else
336 00:22:03 to spend their fortune.
337 00:22:05 Has a realfrontier quality to it.
338 00:22:08 Think we might be able tostay here for a while?
339 00:22:11 Hmm, I got a good feelin'about this one.
340 00:22:23 I got it.
341 00:22:29 The kids are tiredof movin' to a new town
342 00:22:32 every time you lose a job.
343 00:22:34 They'd love itin West Virginia.
344 00:22:38 I just thinkit'd be good for them
345 00:22:40 to see wheretheir daddy grew up.
346 00:22:43 Mountain goat, let go!Try floatin' a little!
347 00:22:50 We're fine where we are.

559 00:33:48 No.
560 00:33:50 He's got no fight.David's not a phase, dad.
561 00:33:54 Which is whati wanted to

563 00:34:01 Yes, I am.
564 00:34:06 No, you're not.

568 00:34:35 Welcome to Welch, everyone!
569 00:34:50 Gosh, things havegone downhill a bit.

580 00:36:18 - Can I have more?- No.
581 00:36:21 This one looksjust like his daddy.
582 00:36:23 Only his hair was more curly.
583 00:36:26 You hated them curls,didn't you?
584 00:36:30 Used to wet his hair down,stand out in the snow,
585 00:36:33 see if he couldfreeze 'em straight.
586 00:36:37 Yep, that's your daddy.
587 00:36:39 Stubborn as a mule,dumb as a pigeon.
588 00:36:48 Ow!
589 00:36:50 Hey! Don't hit my brother,you dumb witch!
590 00:36:53 Hey!
591 00:36:58 Show your grandmasome respect.
592 00:37:07 You listento your daddy, girl.
593 00:37:16 That wasn't a good simile.
594 00:37:18 Pigeons arevery smart animals.
595 00:37:46 Dad?
596 00:37:48 What are you doing?Hey.
597 00:37:51 Oh...
598 00:37:55 Put in your spiral staircase.
599 00:37:58 Wow.
600 00:38:01 We're finally gonna build it.
601 00:38:05 Really?
602 00:38:07 This is why we're here.It's our chance to start over.
603 00:38:16 First thing tomorrow,
604 00:38:17 I'm gonna searchthis whole town
605 00:38:20 for the perfect placeto lay our foundation.
606 00:38:30 We're gettin'the hell outta here.
607 00:38:36 Now, it's notexactly palatial,
608 00:38:39 so there's gonna bea lot of togetherness.
609 00:38:43 And it's a littleon the rustic side.
610 00:38:46 How rustic?
611 00:38:48 Welcome to93 little Hobart street.
612 00:38:51 50 bucks a week,and in two years,
613 00:38:53 we'll own her outright.
614 00:38:55 Hard to believe one daythis'll all be ours.
615 00:38:57 Hey, she may notlook like much,
616 00:38:59 but wait till you seewhat I have in mind.
617 00:39:02 Come on.
618 00:39:05 We're gonna tear all this down
619 00:39:07 and replace itwith your game room,
620 00:39:09 - ping pong, pool, foosball...- Trampoline?
621 00:39:12 Oh, yeah, trampolinegoes right over there,
622 00:39:14 and then all these wallsare gone,
623 00:39:16 replaced withthree-inch glass,
624 00:39:17 glass, glass, glass.This can stay.
625 00:39:21 Doesn't that look lovely?
626 00:39:23 Yellow stands forhappiness and creativity.
627 00:39:26 This place doesn't have anyrunning water or electricity.
628 00:39:29 Ignore her.She was born without vision.
629 00:39:32 Since we're on the north faceof the mountain,
630 00:39:34 enclosed by these two hills,
631 00:39:36 we ain't gettin' much sun,
632 00:39:38 so I'll have to dosome serious
633 00:39:39 reconfigurin' to increasethe size of our solar cells.
634 00:39:43 But beforeany of that can happen,
635 00:39:44 we need a good foundation.
636 00:39:47 Pick!Yes, sir.
637 00:39:49 Good man.Here.
638 00:39:53 Make some noise, kids.Make some noise.
639 00:40:57 Once it's deep enough,i can pour the slab,
640 00:41:02 and we can startframin' this damn thing.
641 00:41:06 We're gonna have the nicesthouse in the county.
642 00:41:10 You ain't just whistlin' Dixie there, little lady.
643 00:41:13 You know, we gotthe highest property
644 00:41:16 on the mountain,which means
645 00:41:18 that the heat can'tburn us in the summer,
646 00:41:20 and the floods can'ttouch us in the winter.
647 00:41:24 We're just glidin' right inbetween all those extremes.
648 00:41:31 Things're gonna be differentthis time around.
649 00:41:49 I'm hungry.
650 00:42:05 Try that.
651 00:42:09 It's good?
652 00:42:13 What are you eating?
653 00:42:15 Butter and sugar.
654 00:42:20 Tastes kinda like frosting.
655 00:42:25 We haven't eatenin three days.
656 00:42:27 Maureen's so hungry,she's eating butter.
657 00:42:29 You ate the butter?
658 00:42:31 I was saving thatfor the bread.
659 00:42:32 We have no bread!
660 00:42:34 Well, I was thinkingof baking some.
661 00:42:37 The gas is turned off.
662 00:42:38 What if it getsturned back on?
663 00:42:40 Miracles happen, you know.
664 00:42:42 We're hungry!
665 00:42:43 Hey, watch that tone, girl!
666 00:42:47 You said things weregoing to be different.
667 00:42:50 Can't we just get some eggs?
668 00:42:54 Or beans, or something?Nothing fancy.
669 00:43:02 I don't see why not.
670 00:43:07 What you got?
671 00:43:18 What about the other one?
672 00:43:24 Okay, I'll be backin an hour with a feast

687 00:44:43 What can I do?
688 00:44:54 Don't worry about me.

708 00:46:07 Oh, my god, that's beautiful!Oh, jeez!
709 00:46:11 You don't have to tugquite so hard on it.
710 00:46:13 It's not like tug-'o-war.
711 00:46:17 Okay.
712 00:46:19 One more. That's good.
713 00:46:22 Wow.
714 00:46:24 That's somemighty fine handiwork.
715 00:46:33 I swear...
716 00:46:36 There are times I think thatyou're the only one around
717 00:46:42 who still has any faith in me.
718 00:46:48 You know I'd doanything for you, right?
719 00:46:53 Anything.
720 00:46:55 All you got to do is ask.
721 00:47:08 Do you think...
722 00:47:16 You could maybestop drinking?
723 00:47:23 It's just...
724 00:47:26 When you drink,you can't take care of us.
725 00:47:40 Must be awfully ashamedof your ol' man.
726 00:47:44 No!
727 00:47:49 I just thinkwe'd have money for food.
728 00:47:53 Maybe even some extrafor the glass castle.
729 00:48:00 You can do itif you want.
730 00:48:05 You're strongerthan anyone.
731 00:48:19 If you don't mind, honey...
732 00:48:24 I think I'd like to just...
733 00:48:29 Sit here by myself a while.
734 00:49:07 Dad?
735 00:49:13 For the next few days,
736 00:49:14 I'm gonna be keepin'to myself upstairs.

738 00:49:21 I need you kidsto steer clear of me.
739 00:49:24 Take your brotherand sisters outside,
740 00:49:27 do somethin' fun, okay?
741 00:49:31 And no matter what happens,
742 00:49:35 if I ask for a drink,
743 00:49:37 you can't let anyonegive me one.
744 00:49:41 Not a drop. Okay?
745 00:49:45 Can you do that for me?
746 00:49:49 Yeah.
747 00:49:50 You promise?
748 00:49:57 That's a good girl.
749 00:50:00 You thinkwe could start
750 00:50:01 building the house soon?
751 00:50:04 Probably.
752 00:50:09 Oh, please!
753 00:50:19 Ah! Ah, god! Make it stop!
754 00:50:25 Please make it stop!

762 00:51:03 Please get me a drink.
763 00:51:09 I'll get you some water.
764 00:51:11 No, no, no. There's some
765 00:51:16 whiskey under the sink.Go fetch it for me.
766 00:51:25 Jeannette...
767 00:51:28 I'm dyin'.
768 00:51:31 If you don't get me a drink,I'm gonna die.
769 00:51:35 That is a scientific fact.Understand?
770 00:51:40 You don't want me to die?Do you want your daddy to die?
771 00:51:47 I can't, dad. I promised you.
772 00:51:51 I don't careabout your stupid promise!
773 00:51:55 Go get me a drink right now!
774 00:51:58 You better go get me a drink!
775 00:52:01 Jeannette!
776 00:52:19 Foundation lookspretty good.
777 00:52:22 We're almost readyto start buildin'.
778 00:52:28 I missed you.
779 00:52:30 I missed you, too.
780 00:52:35 How 'bout that?
781 00:52:37 Look.That's wonderful.
782 00:53:00 Dad's leaving for work!
783 00:53:03 Stop! I'll help youput your hat on.
784 00:53:08 All right,make sure it ain't faulty.
785 00:53:10 Oh! Ow! Ow! Ow!
786 00:53:12 Okay, okay, that's fine.
787 00:53:14 Oh, thanks, bill,merry Christmas.
788 00:53:16 Merry Christmas, Rex.
789 00:53:18 Merry Christmas, ladies!You, too.
790 00:53:19 The foreman forgot his toolbox, and so I had
791 00:53:22 to use this macaroni noodle
792 00:53:24 to insulatethese crosswires,
793 00:53:26 and now I gotevery damn person at work
794 00:53:29 tellin' me that I really knowhow to use my noodle!
795 00:53:43 I couldn't finda good one for you,
796 00:53:45 so you'll just haveto write your own.
797 00:53:49 Careful. You might changethe world with that thing.
798 00:54:05 Hmm?
799 00:54:18 It's so pretty.
800 00:54:19 Mmm, beautiful.
801 00:54:23 Rich city folk livein fancy apartments,
802 00:54:27 but their air is so polluted,they can't even see the stars.
803 00:54:33 We'd have to beout of our minds
804 00:54:35 to trade placeswith any of 'em.
805 00:54:41 Go on, pick outyour favorite one.
806 00:54:44 It's yours for keeps.
807 00:54:47 You can't give me a star.
808 00:54:50 It's your Christmas present.
809 00:54:54 No one owns the stars.
810 00:54:57 Well, that's whyyou gotta claim 'em
811 00:55:00 before anyone else does.
812 00:55:02 Like Columbus claimed Americafor queen Isabella.
813 00:55:07 Claiming a star for your own
814 00:55:08 has just as much logic.Maybe more,
815 00:55:11 because you don't have to kill
816 00:55:13 and subjugatemillions of people to do it.
817 00:55:16 So go ahead,pick out any one you want,
818 00:55:18 'cept for betelgeuseand rigel
819 00:55:20 because Lori and Brianalready laid claim to them.
820 00:55:28 I want that one.
821 00:55:30 The bright one?Yeah.
822 00:55:32 That's Venus. She's a planet.
823 00:55:35 Kinda dinkycompared to real stars.
824 00:55:38 She just looks brighter'cause she's closer to us.
825 00:55:44 I like it anyway.
826 00:55:48 What the hell. It's Christmas.
827 00:55:50 You can have a planetif you want.
828 00:55:54 You know, her atmosphere
829 00:55:55 is a lot like the earth's,only, uh...
830 00:55:59 500 degrees hotter.
831 00:56:01 Really?
832 00:56:02 So when the sunstarts to burn out
833 00:56:05 and the earth turns cold,
834 00:56:07 everyone might wannamove to Venus to get warm.
835 00:56:10 And now they're gonnahave to get permission
836 00:56:11 from your descendants first.
837 00:56:24 I love you, kid.
838 00:56:26 Love you more.
839 00:56:47 I really like David.
840 00:56:50 You really what?
841 00:56:52 Yeah. He's not that boring.
842 00:56:55 I think he'd bea nice addition to the family.
843 00:57:00 Oh, by the way,i just found out
844 00:57:03 my brother is planning to sellhis half of mom's land.
845 00:57:06 Uncle Jim?Yeah, and it's a real shame.
846 00:57:09 My father always taught meyou never sell...
847 00:57:11 Free market, my ass!
848 00:57:13 The whole thing is a riggedgame, and you know it!
849 00:57:16 It's a system createdby all you fat cats
850 00:57:18 to make yourselves richer
851 00:57:20 and keep the poorwhere they are.
852 00:57:22 It's nothing morethan legalized larceny.
853 00:57:24 Admit it, David.
854 00:57:25 On behalf of all the fat cats,
855 00:57:27 I'm not going to admitto something that's not true.
856 00:57:29 David...
857 00:57:30 Jeannette, it's fine.We're just talking.
858 00:57:32 Yeah, we're just talking.
859 00:57:34 You know what, Rex?Let's just agree to disagree.
860 00:57:36 On behalf of the 90%in our country
861 00:57:39 workin' for $4.75 an hour,
862 00:57:41 I will do no such thing!
863 00:57:43 How very noble of you.A real champion of the people.
864 00:57:47 How drunk are you?
865 00:57:48 How 'boutwe settle this the way
866 00:57:49 they did in ancient Rome,
867 00:57:51 with a good old-fashionedarm wrestlin' match?
868 00:57:54 Pretty sure that's notsomethin' they did in Rome.
869 00:57:56 Dad, enough.
870 00:57:57 Come on, mountain goat!
871 00:57:58 David's gonnafight for your honor.
872 00:58:00 This is ridiculous.
873 00:58:02 Yes, it's ridiculous.We are going home.
874 00:58:05 What?You're giving up already?
875 00:58:09 You're gonnajust wander outta here
876 00:58:10 with your tailbetween your legs?
877 00:58:15 I'm not gonna arm wrestle you.
878 00:58:18 Oh, okay, so you admit it?I'm right and you're wrong.
879 00:58:26 Okay.Uh-uh.
880 00:58:29 What the hell.
881 00:58:30 Atta boy!
882 00:58:32 No, David.
883 00:58:34 This is a bad idea.
884 00:58:35 Babe, it's gonna be fun.
885 00:58:36 Babe, it's gonna be fun.
886 00:58:38 Babe, it's gonna be fun.
887 00:58:39 Dad, please.
888 00:58:41 Come on.Don't you wanna give him
889 00:58:42 a chance to prove me wrong?
890 00:58:44 Yes, Jeannette,let me prove him wrong.
891 00:58:50 Okay. You guyswanna be idiots...

933 01:00:27 I seriously thoughtyou were ready.
934 01:00:29 Tell your boyfriendthat he needs to be careful
935 01:00:32 about sayin' thingshe doesn't mean.
936 01:00:34 He's not my boyfriend, dad.He's my fiance.
937 01:00:40 Let's get you home.
938 01:00:44 It's not stopping.I don't know
939 01:00:45 where all the bloodis coming from.
940 01:00:47 Please, I don't want that.
941 01:00:50 Why do you still haveall these stupid boxes?
942 01:00:52 David, you're drunk.
943 01:00:54 Just drink some water.Let's go to bed.
944 01:00:55 He punched me in the face,Jeannette.
945 01:00:56 I know.You told me not to worry,
946 01:00:58 and then he punched me rightin the middle of the face.
947 01:01:01 Everybody was shouting,it was so loud...
948 01:01:03 And you screamed at me.
949 01:01:04 You said "murder him,"
950 01:01:06 shouted it right in my ear.Like a madwoman.
951 01:01:09 Please just drink some water.
952 01:01:10 This is serious, Jeannette.Your dad is a total nut-job.
953 01:01:15 Hey, I can call him that,not you.
954 01:01:17 Your mom is delusional.
955 01:01:18 Poor Maureen. She's gotta beout of her mind that she's
956 01:01:21 choosing to livein that dump with them.
957 01:01:23 This is my familythat you are talking about.
958 01:01:25 I know!And they are totally insane!
959 01:01:48 Jeannette, I...
960 01:01:51 I want to spend the restof my life with you,
961 01:01:54 but if we're gonna tryand do that together,

966 01:02:26 Don't worry. It's abouta 20-hour drive to Texas.
967 01:02:29 I can do it in under 15.
968 01:02:30 We'll be backbefore you know it.
969 01:02:32 How did grandma Smith die?
970 01:02:34 My mother was an old woman.Old women die.
971 01:02:37 Did she leave you anything?
972 01:02:39 What kind of question is that?
973 01:02:41 Why can't we come with you?I don't wanna stay with erma.
974 01:02:45 Your dad hasn't had a drinkin two months.
975 01:02:47 I think we deservea little vacation.
976 01:02:49 But erma hates us.
977 01:02:51 Don't blame herfor her misery.
978 01:02:52 It's all she knows.
979 01:02:54 She's a dumb witch.
980 01:02:55 Actually, she's very smart.
981 01:02:57 That's where your dadgets it from.
982 01:03:00 ...he painted a self-portrait
983 01:03:01 with a bandaged ear.
984 01:03:03 Van gogh.
985 01:03:04 - Who is Van gogh?- That's right.
986 01:03:06 You eatwhat I put on your plate.
987 01:03:07 You spit that out,you're gonna eat that, too.
988 01:03:09 No runnin' in the house,no shoutin', no whinin',
989 01:03:12 no openin' the windowsor the curtains.
990 01:03:15 Edgar bergen.
991 01:03:17 - Who is Edgar bergen?- Edgar bergen is right.
992 01:03:23 It's so weird that dad livedhere when he was our age.
993 01:03:26 Yeah, I thought we had it bad.
994 01:03:32 Look at this.
995 01:03:41 You think dad reallywrote all this?
996 01:03:45 Listen to this.
997 01:03:47 "There might be more thanthis blanket of black dust,
998 01:03:51 "the stench of the tug,
999 01:03:52 "the crunchof the coal-stained snow.
1000 01:03:56 "More than the soundof her cackle,
1001 01:03:58 "the cracksin her calloused hands.
1002 01:04:01 "And there might be more,but I won't ever know
1003 01:04:04 "because it's impossibleto breathe
1004 01:04:06 "when you're drowning in..."
1005 01:04:09 He cusses.

1093 01:10:46 Oh, Rex...
1094 01:11:04 Hey, sweetie.
1095 01:11:11 You have to leave him.
1096 01:11:22 You know, when your dadfirst met my mother,
1097 01:11:25 he asked herwhy she didn't have
1098 01:11:27 any of my paintingson her walls,
1099 01:11:29 and she saidshe didn't want to encourage
1100 01:11:31 a habit with no future in it.
1101 01:11:34 He looked her right in the eyeand said,
1102 01:11:36 "to hell with the future!
1103 01:11:37 "Masterpieces like these
1104 01:11:39 "should be on displayright now."
1105 01:11:47 So he took downall her paintings
1106 01:11:51 and put up mine.
1107 01:11:57 He's never going to change.
1108 01:12:03 You have to leave him.
1109 01:12:16 I can't.
1110 01:12:29 Maureen,do you have any queens?

1114 01:12:43 They're nevergoing to take care of us,
1115 01:12:45 so we have to do it ourselves.
1116 01:12:48 We'll all go to schooland start saving up
1117 01:12:51 so we can move outwhen we're old enough.
1118 01:12:55 If we're going tomake it out of this,
1119 01:12:57 we have to do it together.
1120 01:13:00 Deal?

1360 01:33:09 Trust me,now is not the time!
1361 01:33:10 Tell me what, mom?
1362 01:33:11 Let me talk!
1363 01:33:16 You know how I was telling youabout my brother
1364 01:33:18 selling his halfof mom's land in Texas?
1365 01:33:21 Well, now thatyou're gettin' married
1366 01:33:22 and you haveall these nice things,
1367 01:33:26 we were thinkin'that maybe we could
1368 01:33:30 borrow the money to buy it.
1369 01:33:33 So the only reasonwhy you're being nice to David
1370 01:33:35 is because you want his money?
1371 01:33:37 No, it's not the only reason.I'm also just a nice person.
1372 01:33:41 You are a nice person.Thank you.
1373 01:33:44 We wouldn't askif it wasn't urgent, honey.
1374 01:33:47 How much?
1375 01:33:48 No, let's not get into...About a million.
1376 01:33:52 A million dollars?
1377 01:33:54 A little under.
1378 01:33:57 A little under...
1379 01:33:59 If uncle Jim's landis worth that much,
1380 01:34:01 then yours is, too.
1381 01:34:03 Well, I don't know.I've never had it appraised.
1382 01:34:07 My father taught meyou never sell land.
1383 01:34:10 - Good advice.- Right.
1384 01:34:14 Grandma Smith diedwhen I was 11.
1385 01:34:18 Have you beensitting on a million dollars
1386 01:34:20 since I was 11?
1387 01:34:22 No, no! It appreciatesover time. It escalates.
1388 01:34:26 You knew about this?
1389 01:34:30 Do you realize what we couldhave done with that money?
1390 01:34:33 I don't want my kidsraised on a goddamn handout!
1391 01:34:36 What the hell?
1392 01:34:37 What the hellis wrong with you?
1393 01:34:39 Oh...
1394 01:34:41 Nice, rose.
1395 01:34:45 Hey, mountain goat!

1399 01:34:51 Come on. I know you'reupset. But let's just go back
1400 01:34:53 and talk about this. Come on.
1401 01:34:55 Dad, why do you thinkall of us ran away from you?
1402 01:34:58 We were drowning.
1403 01:35:00 I still don't understandwhy you followed us here.
1404 01:35:04 We wanted to bea family again.
1405 01:35:06 We were never a family, mom.We were a nightmare.
1406 01:35:09 Your mom and I did everythingwe could for you, okay?
1407 01:35:12 We looked after you,
1408 01:35:13 and it was a happy family!Bullshit! We did it!
1409 01:35:17 We took care of each other
1410 01:35:18 because you were too drunk to!
1411 01:35:22 It was your job to protect us,and you didn't even try!
1412 01:35:26 That ain't true, okay?It is true.
1413 01:35:29 You got some kind of weirdrevisionist history goin' on.
1414 01:35:31 You were a happy kid!Stop it, dad. Stop talking.
1415 01:35:33 And they were happy kids!And we looked after you!
1416 01:35:36 Stop talking!Talking is not trying!
1417 01:35:41 You talkedmy whole goddamn life!
1418 01:35:46 And I believed you.
1419 01:35:49 Don't!
1420 01:35:51 Hey, don't do this.
1421 01:35:53 I don't want you in my life.
1422 01:35:56 Jeannette,you do not mean that.
1423 01:35:57 I don't want youto call or write
1424 01:35:58 or show up out of the blue.
1425 01:36:00 I don't want another oneof your bullshit stories.
1426 01:36:02 I don't wanna see you anymore.
1427 01:36:25 I gotta go.
1428 01:36:27 See you soon, little sister.
1429 01:36:57 I think I figured outhow to deal
1430 01:36:58 with the lack of sunlighton the hillside.
1431 01:37:02 We just need to install
1432 01:37:03 specially-curved mirrorsto all the solar cells.
1433 01:37:07 See, what I was thinkin' was
1434 01:37:09 you don't haveto go right away.
1435 01:37:11 You could just...Dad...
1436 01:37:12 You couldfinish school here
1437 01:37:14 and get a jobat the Welch daily news,
1438 01:37:16 and I would help you
1439 01:37:17 write those articles.I am going.
1440 01:37:19 Remember howwe used to do that?
1441 01:37:21 You remember that?
1442 01:37:24 You are never going tobuild the glass castle.
1443 01:37:26 Oh, I am.You're not.
1444 01:37:28 I am. I got it right here.
1445 01:37:30 And even if you do,it doesn't matter.
1446 01:37:33 I'm gettin' onthe first bus outta here.
1447 01:37:36 Well...
1448 01:37:37 If the bus breaks down,I'm gonna walk.
1449 01:37:39 I am gonnafinish this thing...
1450 01:37:41 I will hitchhikeif I have to, dad.
1451 01:37:42 I can guaran-goddamn-tee it.
1452 01:37:45 Build it if you want,but don't build it for me.
1453 01:37:48 Hey, hey, hey! Jeannette...
1454 01:37:53 Mountain goat!
1455 01:38:21 Okay, so I'm gonna pick you upafter work,
1456 01:38:23 and we'll head straightto the restaurant from there.
1457 01:38:26 Where?
1458 01:38:28 We have dinner withMr. lehocky and his wife.
1459 01:38:32 Jeannette, rememberi told you about this?
1460 01:38:35 Furniture designer?
1461 01:38:37 This guy's got more moneythan he knows what to do with.
1462 01:38:38 He made the chairthat you're sitting in.
1463 01:38:42 Right, the furniture designer.I got it.
1464 01:38:46 Jeannette, please?
1465 01:38:48 This isa very big account, okay?
1466 01:38:50 This'll be huge for us.
1467 01:38:52 I said I got it.
1468 01:38:54 Okay. Can you get that?I gotta go.
1469 01:38:56 Mmm-hmm.
1470 01:39:04 Jeannette, it's me, sweetie.
1471 01:39:08 It's been too long.
1472 01:39:09 You can't ignore us forever, honey.
1473 01:39:14 I just really need to talk to you about somethin'. Okay?
1474 01:39:21 Have you been to the Picassoretrospective at moma yet?
1475 01:39:24 Mom...
1476 01:39:25 Don't waste your time.
1477 01:39:27 He really didn't doanything worthwhile
1478 01:39:28 after his rose period.
1479 01:39:30 All that cubist stuffis so gimmicky.
1480 01:39:32 Mom, I have togo back to work.
1481 01:39:33 Why are you here?
1482 01:39:36 I need to sit down.
1483 01:39:42 You know how I am with
1484 01:39:44 sentimental situationslike this.
1485 01:39:47 It's just...I don't know what to do.
1486 01:39:53 What's goin' on?
1487 01:39:58 Your dad's sick.And he's not gettin' better.
1488 01:40:03 He stopped talkin' last week.
1489 01:40:07 Well, what does that mean?
1490 01:40:09 He was rantin' aboutthat night at David's,
1491 01:40:11 all that stuff you saidabout his drinkin'
1492 01:40:16 and how talking isn't trying,and whatever else you said.
1493 01:40:19 Then he asked meif I think he talks too much,
1494 01:40:21 and I said, "yeah,"'cause he does.
1495 01:40:25 And then he just stopped.
1496 01:40:30 Hasn't said a word since.
1497 01:40:35 Won't get out of bed.Barely eats.
1498 01:40:39 The silence is awful.
1499 01:40:47 He's dying, Jeannette.
1500 01:40:53 You have a right to be angry.
1501 01:40:55 You think I don't know that?
1502 01:40:56 Of course you do.
1503 01:41:00 Look, I don't wanna tell youwhat to do ever,
1504 01:41:05 but I know you love him,and I just think
1505 01:41:08 you'll regret it if you don'tcome home and say goodbye.
1506 01:41:17 Mom, I said goodbyea long time ago.
1507 01:41:19 Jeannette...
1508 01:41:24 The doctor told him a monthif he stops drinking,
1509 01:41:26 which he won't,so who knows?
1510 01:41:30 What exactly is it?
1511 01:41:33 Pretty mucheverything you can get
1512 01:41:34 from four packsof cigarettes
1513 01:41:36 and two quarts of boozeevery day for 50 years.
1514 01:41:39 He doesn't look good.You have to go see him.
1515 01:41:46 No, I don't.
1516 01:41:48 You're right. You don't.
1517 01:41:52 But you kind of do.
1518 01:41:54 He's donea lotta shitty things,
1519 01:41:58 but he's had his moments.
1520 01:42:14 Man in the hall!
1521 01:42:16 Does anybody knowwhere Jeannette's room is?
1522 01:42:20 Oh, thank you kindly, ma'am.
1523 01:42:28 What are yousnot-slingin' about?
1524 01:42:30 What are you doing here?
1525 01:42:32 I thought I'd finallycome check out
1526 01:42:34 this high-fallutin'college o' yours.
1527 01:42:37 I gotta say, for the tuitioni expected a bit more.
1528 01:42:44 Your mom says thatyou're jumpin' ship.
1529 01:42:49 What happened toall your fancy scholarships?
1530 01:42:53 It isn't enough.
1531 01:42:55 And they don't cut breaks
1532 01:42:56 for poor little country girlswith big dreams?
1533 01:42:59 You can't sayi didn't warn ya.
1534 01:43:00 Did you comeall the way here from Welch
1535 01:43:02 just to rub it in my face?
1536 01:43:04 You were right. Okay?
1537 01:43:06 I never should've come here.Now I'm droppin' out.
1538 01:43:09 The hell you are!
1539 01:43:15 That's $950.
1540 01:43:17 And, uh,
1541 01:43:19 that thereis genuine 100% mink.
1542 01:43:24 Should be able to pawn thatfor at least $50.
1543 01:43:29 Where did you get all this?
1544 01:43:31 New York Cityis full of poker players
1545 01:43:34 who wouldn't know their assfrom their elbows,
1546 01:43:36 and your mom said I finallyhad a good reason to gamble.
1547 01:43:41 You did this for me?
1548 01:43:44 Since whenis it wrong for a father
1549 01:43:46 to take careof his little girl?
1550 01:43:58 So it turns out Mrs. lehockyis actually a fan of yours.
1551 01:44:00 She reads your columnevery week.
1552 01:44:03 Rich, white and oldis our target audience.
1553 01:44:10 I heard your mom's messageon the machine.
1554 01:44:13 Something goin' on?
1555 01:44:17 It's just mom bein' mom.
1556 01:44:22 You know, whatever they want,please don't give in.
1557 01:44:28 You've been so much betterwithout them.
1558 01:44:34 Have I?
1559 01:44:40 We've been a team for so long,
1560 01:44:42 it's hard to tellwho does what anymore.
1561 01:44:44 But Ollie's always beena master craftsman.
1562 01:44:46 And I'm moreof a visual person.
1563 01:44:48 Vi's the real artistof the operation.
1564 01:44:50 I just make sure they don'tfall apart when you sit down.
1565 01:44:54 But when we were your age,
1566 01:44:55 we didn't think any of thiswas going to happen.
1567 01:44:57 We'd have been finemaking chairs
1568 01:44:59 out of a tiny garagefor the rest of our lives.
1569 01:45:02 Just do what makes you happy.
1570 01:45:04 You may make some money at it,you might not.
1571 01:45:06 Don't matter either wayif you're doin' what you love.
1572 01:45:10 And what about you, Jeannette?
1573 01:45:11 Is this what you'vealways wanted to do?
1574 01:45:16 Uh... no, actually.
1575 01:45:19 I was oncea political science major.
1576 01:45:22 I was very eager to writestories that actually matter.
1577 01:45:26 Your stories matter to me.
1578 01:45:28 Thank you.
1579 01:45:31 I don't know, it's just...
1580 01:45:33 This is not where I thoughtthat I was gonna end up.
1581 01:45:36 Well, maybeyou're not at the end yet.
1582 01:45:42 Jeannette's dad is developinga technology to burn
1583 01:45:45 low-grade bituminous coalmore efficiently.
1584 01:45:49 Well, isn't that nice.Where is your dad now?
1585 01:45:54 Uh...
1586 01:46:01 I'm sorry. Would you excuse mefor a second?
1587 01:46:21 There. How's that feel?
1588 01:46:27 It's so ugly, daddy.I look like the demon.
1589 01:46:31 Hey, there's nothin' uglyabout you, you hear me?
1590 01:46:37 One day, I promise you,you're gonna look at this
1591 01:46:39 as just another signof how strong you are.
1592 01:46:45 You're a walls, mountain goat.
1593 01:46:48 We ain't like other people.
1594 01:46:50 We got a fire burnin'in our bellies.
1595 01:46:54 And that there isgoddamn proof of it.
1596 01:47:00 Now...
1597 01:47:02 This knife is speciallydesigned to hunt demons.
1598 01:47:08 It's very sharp.
1599 01:47:10 Don't take it outunless you see him.
1600 01:47:16 You can borrow itfor the night.
1601 01:47:21 You know,all monsters are the same.
1602 01:47:25 They liketo frighten people,
1603 01:47:26 but the minuteyou stare 'em down,
1604 01:47:28 they turn tail and run.
1605 01:47:38 I love you, mountain goat.
1606 01:48:12 My parents are squatting
1607 01:48:13 in an abandoned buildingon the lower east side.
1608 01:48:15 Jeannette...
1609 01:48:17 They were homelessfor three years before that,
1610 01:48:18 which is pretty muchhow they raised us.
1611 01:48:21 My dad is not developing
1612 01:48:22 a technologyfor bituminous coal,
1613 01:48:24 but he could tell you anything
1614 01:48:26 that you want to knowabout it.
1615 01:48:28 He is the smartest manthat I know.
1616 01:48:32 He is also a drunk,
1617 01:48:34 never finishes what he starts,and can be extremely cruel.
1618 01:48:39 But he dreams biggerthan anyone I've ever met.
1619 01:48:41 And he never tries to besomebody that he's not.
1620 01:48:46 And he neverwanted me to, either.
1621 01:48:57 I'm sorry,but I have to leave.
1622 01:49:06 Go.
1623 01:49:21 You ready togo get that demon?
1624 01:49:31 Let's go!
1625 01:50:24 I'll go get some air.Leave you to it.
1626 01:50:38 Hey, dad.
1627 01:50:59 Do you rememberwhen those grape-pickers
1628 01:51:01 in Californiawent on strike,
1629 01:51:04 and the vineyardshad to sell everything
1630 01:51:05 for a nickel a pound?
1631 01:51:08 You stuffed the car so full
1632 01:51:10 we couldn't seeout the windows.
1633 01:51:14 Brian found some in his pockettwo weeks later
1634 01:51:16 that had turned into raisins.
1635 01:51:21 Or when you let mepet that cheetah at the zoo?
1636 01:51:31 She was lickin' thatpopcorn butter off your hand.
1637 01:51:37 Those other parentswanted to chop my head off.
1638 01:51:43 They were just jealous.
1639 01:51:51 Remember whenyou made your own braces?
1640 01:51:54 They were a goddamn featof engineering genius.
1641 01:51:58 It was a hangerand a rubber band.
1642 01:52:01 Well, by god, it worked.
1643 01:52:04 Look at thosegorgeous choppers.
1644 01:52:17 Mom says you haven'tbeen talkin' lately.
1645 01:52:36 Sort of takin'some time to think.
1646 01:52:43 Here.
1647 01:52:51 What's this?
1648 01:52:53 It's every story you'vewritten since eighth grade.
1649 01:52:59 Thought maybe you couldstart addin' to it for me.
1650 01:53:27 I spent my whole life
1651 01:53:32 huntin' for those demonsin the wild.
1652 01:53:37 And the entire time
1653 01:53:39 they were hidin'inside my own belly.
1654 01:53:50 Sad stateto spend your life in,
1655 01:53:53 bein' afraid of your own self.
1656 01:54:02 I know it...
1657 01:54:05 Wasn't easy on you kids.
1658 01:54:16 Got a lot to regretabout my life.
1659 01:54:20 Dad...
1660 01:54:28 Never forget
1661 01:54:31 how beautiful you are,mountain goat.
1662 01:54:36 And smart...
1663 01:54:39 And creative and strong...
1664 01:54:44 You're so strong.
1665 01:54:52 No little girlshould ever have
1666 01:54:54 to carry her daddyon her back.
1667 01:55:04 You ain't like me at all,mountain goat.
1668 01:55:08 You're not afraid.
1669 01:55:16 I am like you.
1670 01:55:21 And I'm glad.
1671 01:55:30 We had some good times,didn't we?
1672 01:55:40 Never did buildthat glass castle.
1673 01:55:46 No.
1674 01:55:50 But we had a good timeplannin' it.
1675 01:56:31 Hi! Happy Thanksgiving.
1676 01:56:33 Happy Thanksgiving.Something smells good!
1677 01:56:35 How's life as a freelancer?
1678 01:56:37 I'm still gettin' used to it.
1679 01:56:38 Yeah?You like bein' poor again?
1680 01:56:40 Thanks, Brian.
1681 01:56:41 Careful with my child.Hey.
1682 01:56:42 Maureen...
1683 01:56:43 I like the new place.
1684 01:56:45 How's California?
1685 01:56:46 It's really nice and sunny.
1686 01:56:48 Here's yourhousewarming present.
1687 01:56:50 I thoughtyou'd like one of him.
1688 01:56:52 I didn't do so wellwith the hair, but...
1689 01:56:56 Do you like it, honey?
1690 01:56:58 It's perfect.
1691 01:57:03 What? What?
1692 01:57:04 I never told you about this?
1693 01:57:06 No, you didn't.
1694 01:57:07 He didn't have moneyfor presents,
1695 01:57:09 so he takeseach of us outside,
1696 01:57:11 and says that we can justpick out our own star.
1697 01:57:14 Seriously?Yeah, yeah, any one we want.
1698 01:57:16 So I took rigel.
1699 01:57:18 It's that little blue oneon the foot of Orion.
1700 01:57:22 What was yours, Lori?
1701 01:57:23 And I chose betelgeuse
1702 01:57:25 'cause it wasthis pretty shade of red,
1703 01:57:27 and then later that nightdad told me
1704 01:57:28 it was only that colorbecause it was dying!
1705 01:57:31 Yeah! You got the dud!You were so mad!
1706 01:57:34 Yeah, because he wouldn'tlet me pick a new one!
1707 01:57:36 "'Cause there's no returnpolicies in outer space."
1708 01:57:39 "Well, that only works forplastic toys made in Japan."
1709 01:57:44 But he also said,
1710 01:57:47 "when everyone else's junkis broken and forgotten,
1711 01:57:50 "you'll stillhave your stars."
1712 01:57:55 Yeah.
1713 01:58:02 Jeannette,what's goin' on?
1714 01:58:03 You okay?
1715 01:58:05 What are youthinkin', sweetie?
1716 01:58:11 I just...
1717 01:58:16 I feel really lucky...
1718 01:58:26 Let's make a toast to Rex.
1719 01:58:30 Life with your fatherwas never boring.
1720 01:59:47 All thesehere are portraits of people.
1721 01:59:50 I have a whole boxof flowers back there.
1722 01:59:52 Down herepeople like my flowers
1723 01:59:54 better thanthey did in New York.
1724 01:59:57 You know, Jeannette's story
1725 01:59:58 about how hegave her a star,
1726 02:00:01 what a difference betweenLori's and Jeannette's.
1727 02:00:03 Jeannette: "I got a star.
1728 02:00:05 "Oh, daddy,you're so wonderful.
1729 02:00:08 "I love you."
1730 02:00:11 And Lori says,"you goddamn son of a bitch,
1731 02:00:13 "you didn't haveenough money."
1732 02:00:35 The star story.
1733 02:00:38 Dad loved grand gestures
1734 02:00:42 that preferablydid not require
1735 02:00:44 a whole lot of follow-up.
1736 02:00:49 And he did it twice.
1737 02:01:14 I've made thisall by my own free choice.
1738 02:01:17 So I haven't regretted it.It's been an experience.
1739 02:01:20 I've gotten a lot out of it.
1740 02:01:22 Even if I go down the drain,
1741 02:01:23 I have stillcome out the winner.
1742 02:01:26 Still come out a winner.
1743 02:01:48 Any idiot
1744 02:01:50 can see that this isa goddamn land-grab
1745 02:01:53 by the city officials
1746 02:01:54 using taxpayers' money
1747 02:01:56 to tear down the buildingsso that they could
1748 02:01:57 give away the propertyto the goddamn developers,
1749 02:02:01 so the developers willpay 'em off under the table.
1750 02:02:03 It's not new, but it has gone
1751 02:02:04 as far aswe're gonna let it go.
