We have to wait till the dogs eat

before the girls do.

Why?

Is that what you said?

That word...

...I can't even get it out of my mouth.

- Gypsy, help me out.

- She said... Why?

That word. There's no such thing as

that word here.,, Why,...

...is banned.,, Why,, don't belong here.

,, Why,, is just...

How come you don't know that?

She just came today, Charlie.

Well, why don't you tell me about it?

I split up with my husband.

Actually, he dumped us.

Me and my daughter.

We were all gonna go down

to South America.

Where you been living?

We were staying in some pretty cool

communes in New Mexico...

...and then we came down here.

So, what are you looking for, woman?

Wait, let me think. Jesus, maybe?

You looking for old J.C.?

I don't know.

Maybe.

Well, if you're looking to do

your looking around here...

Excuse me, darling.

You're gonna have to

bring us something.

Bring you what?

Well, I don't know.

You got to look around you.

And don't look from here.

You got to look from right here.

Look out there.

Look at the people you know.

You see them out there?

What do they have?

Look at all they have,

and ask yourself, from here...

...you really think they need all of that?

All those dollar bills and all them cars?

Candy.

So let your heart bring us something...

...that will show us your heart.

We met the Beach Boys today.

One of the Beach Boys,

Dennis Wilson.

Is that the one that sings real high?

They all sing real high, Sadie.

Well, it was a Beach Boy, anyway.

Who was the other guy?

- Doris Day's son.

- Really?

Terry Melcher.

He's a big record producer.

Him and Dennis Wilson

are gonna make Charlie a star.

That's right.

We should get Doris Day

to come out here for a few days.

She'll forget all about Rock Hudson.

That thought that you're carrying...

...the one about your father...

...it's a very heavy thought.

And it's still holding you back,

because you're still giving it the reins.

It's my stepfather.

He hates me.

How did you know?

Well, you can't hide from me, you see?

I feel disposable.

I'm... I'm...

I mean, my husband, my father...

I don't really fit anywhere.

Well, how long are you gonna keep playing

your part in their game?

Your disposable role in the game

that they're playing with your life.

You, you're not disposable.

Look at you.

You're valuable. You're the most valuable

and perfect thing in this world.

You don't mean that.

You think I don't know

what it feels like to be looked through?

To be thrown away?

That's why we take care of each other.

See, I know who you are.

I can see you inside and out.

All your beauty.

All of your own beauty, you see?

Now, can you see mine?
