Girl Most Likely Page #3

Synopsis: Kristen Wiig stars as Imogene, a failed New York playwright awkwardly navigating the transition from Next Big Thing to Last Year's News. After both her career and relationship hit the skids, she's forced to make the humiliating move back home to New Jersey with her eccentric mother and younger brother (Annette Bening and Christopher Fitzgerald). Adding further insult to injury, there's a strange man sleeping in her old bedroom (Darren Criss) and an even stranger man sleeping in her mother's bed (Matt Dillon). Through it all, Imogene eventually realizes that as part of her rebuilding process she must finally come to love and accept both her family and her Jersey roots if she's ever going to be stable enough to get the hell away from them.

because your mom has an impulse problem?

Okay, well, it doesn't feel very good.

No, it's very sad.

Yeah.

I'm doing okay.

I mean, it's been

upsetting for me, but...

Have you ever received

a telephone call

of an urgent nature when you're naked?

- I haven't.

- I had just gotten out of the shower.

And suddenly this call comes.

Well, we tracked down your information

from old DMV records, Mrs. Duncan.

Are you familiar with a 5150 hold?

Uh... Yes, but I'm sure I

paid those tickets. Okay?

And the judge ruled that the

second one wasn't even my fault.

This has nothing to do

with your driving record, Mrs. Duncan.

A 5150 means that

it is our duty to hold anyone

who poses a threat to themselves

for at least 72 hours.

However, we have

a bit of an overcrowding problem,

which limits us to holding

only critical patients

and releasing the others,

like your daughter,

into the care of a loved one.

- She said she loved me?

- No.

But we have more

critical patients that need her bed.

You mean people that, like,

jump out of buildings and cut parts off?

That kind of stuff?

Sometimes.

Can I ask you a question?

Does that make you really sad?

Uh, Mrs. Duncan, would you be

willing to assume responsibility

for the safety and well-being

of your daughter for the next 72 hours?

Well, I have to be somewhere later.

But, yes. Of course.

Did I tell you that Gwyneth Paltrow

might come to my book launch party?

- Wow! What a coup.

- I know!

It's like my dad's PR

guy knows everyone.

Oh.

I will be back in one second,

I have to take this.

Hi.

It's an upsetting night.

Hello.

Imogene, listen,

I know you're expecting your boyfriend,

and we've made several

attempts to try and...

Peter is coming for me, okay?

Yes, I'm sure Peter cares

for you very deeply,

but both your mother

and I feel that the best thing

for you right now...

Wait. Did you just say "mother"?

...would be for you to be

in the comfort and safety

of those who love you unconditionally.

So your mother is

going to take you home with her.

Hi, honey.

You cannot do this.

Dara! Dara!

Tell them you love me unconditionally.

What?

I can't go with her!

Please! Please!

Dara! Tell them I can stay

with you until Peter comes for me!

Oh, my gosh, I wish that I could help,

but I don't think that we can

accommodate house-guests right now.

What?

- You can't do this to me!

- Hold her!

Dara! Call the police!

Imogene, this is going

to make your trip home

just a little bit more relaxing.

Honey...

Your panties are showing.

Mom?

Step right up, everybody!

Clear the path.

Bring me a joker.

- Feeling good!

- Hey!

- Oh!

- What the hell are you doing?
