Tina, run down and get the other children.
Tell them to come up. We'll
open the presents for real.
O.K.
Miss Crawford, I promised the
studio some real good stuff
when she blows out the candles.
All right, Jimmy.
Oh, mommie,
thank you.
She's so beautiful.
What should I name her?
Is that the present you like best?
Oh, yes.
Then that's the present you can keep.
We'll take the rest
to the orphans who don't have anything.
And tomorrow we'll write our thank-you notes.
Oh.
Christina, why can't you...
Hello, hello.
Happy birthday, darling.
Oh, hello, darling.
Darling.
Oh, uncle Greg.
It's just what I wanted.
You like it?
I love it.
Look.
Oh, but, you see,
I'm only keeping one present,
and all the rest I'm going
to give to the poor orphans.
Yes, I--i read about that in the newspapers.
It's--it's wonderful.
So I'll just keep this for you
until you don't have to choose.
I put a lot of thought into this
when I picked it for you.
[Sighs]
All right.
This time we'll make an exception.
You may keep the doll...
And the bracelet.
Oh, mommie dearest.
Mmm.
What about Christopher's present?
This one.
Darling, remember what I told you
about adopted children?
Adopted children are luckiest
'cause they were chosen.
That's right.
Well, that's good,
but you've got to push off more with your weight.
Come on, let's see another one.
She's had enough, Joan.
But I'm tired, mommie.
Quitter.
All right, ready?
1, 2, 3...
Dive!
Better, but you've got to keep your legs together
when you go in the water.
She's only a kid.
So was I-- only a kid.
I learned early.
Life goes by too damn fast.
You've got to know how to compete and win.
I don't want her growing up a spoiled Hollywood brat,
just because she's Crawford's daughter.
Ah... It's lovely.
Isn't it?
Yes, it is.
It's a great Sunday at home...
With a star.
Oh... Ha ha.
You know, we hardly ever have
nice days like this anymore.
I've got an appointment.
They call, you run.
Who calls, I run?
Nobody.
Then why do you say that?
Because I'm damn mad at you!
Why?
Look, this script is the best script the studio has,
and it hasn't been offered to me.
You could help.
Joan, that's Mayer's business.
I never tell a man I respect how to run his business.
They think I'm slipping.
Are you?
No.
So?
Yes.
I just want that part.
Mm-hmm.
I want you, too.
You got me.
Have a good time, Tina.
Thanks, uncle Greg.
I love you.
Ah...
Who wants to go swimming?
I do!
I'll race you.
On your mark,
get set,
go!
[Panting]
Again?
[Breathing heavily]
I'll give you a bigger head start.
Come on, Tina.
On your mark,
get set...
And go!
[Coughing]
Ah, you lost again.
