one to visit her.
(Grinding teeth)
Hey, Ma.
- You on uppers?
- What?
You're on uppers.
You're on diet pills, ain't you?
I told you.
I'm going to a specialist.
That's what I thought!
You're on speed, ain't ya?
Harry, I'm goin' to a doctor.
- Does he give you pills?
- Of course. He's a doctor.
- What kind of pills?
- A purple, a blue, an orange...
I mean, like what's in 'em?
Oh, Harry, I'm Sara Goldfarb, not
Albert Einstein. How should I know?
Does it make you feel good
and give you pep?
Well... yeah, a little.
Ma, I can hear ya
grinding your teeth.
- That goes away at night.
- At night?
Yeah, when I take the green one.
30 minutes I'm asleep. Poof.
Ma, Ma, ya gotta
cut that stuff loose.
I'm tellin' ya, it's no good.
What do you mean it's no good?
25lbs I've lost.
So what? You wanna be a dope fiend?
Dope fiend? Am I foaming
at the mouth? He's a nice doctor.
I am telling you, he's no good.
How come you know so much? How
come you know more than a doctor?
Believe me, Ma, I know. All right?
You'll get strung out.
Ah, come on!
I almost fit in my red dress.
The one I wore
to your high school graduation.
The one your father liked so much.
oh, I remember how he looked at me
in that red dress.
Ma, what's the big deal
about the red dress?
I'm going to wear it at...
You don't know!
I'm gonna be on television.
I got a call and an application...
Come on, Ma, who's pulling your leg?
No, no, no. I'm tellin' ya.
I'm gonna be a contestant
on television.
They haven't told me when yet,
but you'll be proud when you see
your mother in her red dress on TV.
What is the big deal?. Those pills
will kill you before you get on.
"Big deal?. "
You drove up in a cab.
Did you see who had the best seat?
I'm somebody now, Harry.
Everybody likes me.
Soon...
millions of people will see me
and they'll all like me.
I'll tell them about you...
and your father.
How good he was to us.
Remember?
It's a reason
to get up in the morning.
It's a reason to lose weight,
to fit in the red dress.
It's a reason to smile.
It makes tomorrow all right.
(Sighs ) What have I got, Harry?
Hmm?
Why should I even make the bed
or wash the dishes?
I do them, but why should I?
I'm alone.
Your father's gone, you're gone.
I got no one to...
care for.
What have I got, Harry?
I'm lonely.
I'm old.
You got friends, Ma.
It's not the same.
They don't need me.
I like the way I feel.
I like thinking
about the red dress...
and the television
and you and your father.
Now when I get the sun, I smile.
I'll come and visit, Ma.
Now that I'm straight, m-my business
is going good, I'll come.
Me and Marion,
we'll come for dinner.
Good. You bring her.
I'll make you
mushroom soup and a roast.
That sounds great, Ma.
That sounds great.
- I'll call ahead, all right?
- OK.
I'm glad.
I'm glad you have a nice girl
and your own business. I'm glad.
I gotta go, Ma.
I got an appointment in Manhattan
in a little bit,
but I'll be back.
- OK, y-you still got your key?
- Yeah, I got it, Ma.
Bye, Son.
(Door closes )
(Sighs )
Brody says you comin' up quick.
oh. Thanks, man.
He says you're smart, you're loyal
and you're not a junkie.
Brody wants to promote you.
Give you more responsibility.
Interested?
Yeah, yeah!
Shit, yeah, man.
(Indistinct)
Brody says,
you fuck him, I kill you.
- I got that.
- Remember that.
Shit! You got a white driver!
- (Gunshots )
- Fuck!
- What the fuck?
- (Dog barking)
(Police siren wailing)
Don't move!
I love you, Harry.
You make me feel like a person.
like I'm me...
and I'm beautiful.
You are beautiful.
You're the most
beautiful girl in the world.
You're my dream.
(Nurse ) 'No, I'm certain.
I've checked again.'
But maybe you gave me
a weaker one last time.
'That isn't possible.
They're all the same potency.'
But something isn't the same.
'You're becoming adjusted to them.
It's nothing to worry about, OK?'
