a bitch
- that never gave you anything.
- Hey, I never asked for anything.
Oh, that's brilliant!
Why can't you just forget her?
It's late. You got school.
No, don't walk out on this!
Will you please just listen to me?
- Please?
- I've already been through this, Andie.
Sure, you go through it every day!
You're still going through it!
Why can't you just realize
that she's gone,
and she's not gonna come back?
She's never coming back!
- Shut up! God damn it!
- Why can't you accept it?
She's just gone! She...
Why can't you accept it?
Because I love her, that's why.
Well, I loved her, too, you know.
She just didn't love us back.
Okay, she tried.
I don't know, she just couldn't handle it.
Yeah, but I knew it.
I knew it all along.
I mean, when I was five, I felt it.
Remember when she didn't come home
that time?
I knew it then. I knew why.
I was 14 and I knew it.
You were 50 and you didn't.
You know, you can't go on
living every day in the past.
She left us, Daddy. We didn't leave her.
There was nothing we could do about it.
It just happened.
Since when is a daughter supposed
to know more than her father?
I've just been a blind fool.
And you're a blind fool
that needs a shave, too, you know that?
And I need a shave.
Well,
you better get to bed. You got school.
And I gotta hit the hay, too,
'cause I got a few things
I gotta do tomorrow, okay?
Okay.
I would've got you some shoes,
but I didn't know your size.
Melanie.
How you doing?
Why haven't you called me?
Oh, I got nailed for the stable thing.
I guess a groom saw us.
It's against club rules.
I called you three times,
and I left messages.
Yeah?
Well, I didn't get them.
My family, they're irresponsible
about that stuff, you know.
I waited for you this morning.
- Yeah? Where?
- Parking lot.
I saw you,
and I thought that you saw me.
No.
What about prom, Blane?
Oh, Andie, I'm having a bad day.
Can we talk later?
No. What about prom?
Come on.
Why don't we just meet after school?
- No! What about prom?
- Andie, come on.
- Just say it.
- What?
Just say it! I want to hear you say it.
Andie, please, all right.
I wanna hear you say it!
A month ago I asked somebody else,
and I forgot.
You're a liar!
You're a filthy, fucking, no-good liar!
You don't have the guts
to tell me the truth!
- Just say it!
- I'm not lying.
- Tell me!
- What?
- Tell me!
- What do you wanna hear?
- Just tell me!
- What?
- You're ashamed to be seen with me!
- No, I am not!
- You're ashamed to go out with me!
- I am not.
- You're afraid.
- No, I am...
You're terrified your goddamn
rich friends won't approve!
Just say it! Just tell me the truth!
You don't understand that
it has nothing at all to do with you.
Andie!
Andie!
Forget about it, man.
It's not worth getting upset over.
Why don't you just take off, Steff?
Please.
Well, listen, any girl that did that to me
I would not be too jazzed
to hold onto, Blane.
It's not worth it, man. I told you
it wasn't gonna work, you know.
The girl was, is
and will always be nada.
You got a problem, friend?
Come on.
All right! All right!
That's nice, huh?
Andie?
- Yeah?
- You're Andie, aren't you?
Yeah, I am. How do you know me?
Well, lona told me. I'm Terrence.
Terry.
Oh, the pet shop. Right?
Yeah, among other things.
She's in the bedroom getting ready.
You might wanna go in there
and tell her to shake her tail feather.
- We're late.
- Okay.
Iona?
Nice to meet you.
- Iona?
- Hi, honey, I'm in here.
Laugh and I'll deck you.
What happened?
Either it's all those drugs
I took in the '60s,
or I am really in love.
What do you think? Honestly.
Honestly, I think you look great.
Oh, I look like a mother.
No. Well, yeah, a little, but that's okay.
You look happy.
I am.
It's weird, but I... Did you meet him?
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
He's a yuppie, but he's so nice.
He's employed. He's heterosexual.
I swear to God, I'm so far ahead
of the game, next
