Julien Donkey-Boy Page #2

Synopsis: "O, mio babbino caro" plays as a woman skates gracefully. In contrast, little is graceful and daddy is not dear in Julien's world. His father listens to blues wearing a gas mask; dad prods, lectures, and derides Julien as well as Julien's brother and pregnant sister, while grandma attends to her dog. Julien is different, schizophrenic. He wears gold teeth. He bowls, sings, worships, and chats with a group of young adults with disabilities. His sister's child is probably his own. He talks on the phone, imagining it's his mother, who died in childbirth years before. He may be a murderer of children. From his point of view (perhaps), the film follows this odd family for a few weeks.

Be a man.

Be a man and quit that

moody brooding.

- Quit that.

- It's too cold.

- Come over here.

- Stop!

Stop it.

Dad!

Come on, be a man.

It might even

seep through your skin,

and you'll put on

some weight.

Shut up.

Come on, you don't

talk like this.

- Shut up.

- You don't talk like this.

Just be a man.

Go down-- squat down.

Here.

Okay, come here.

Come here.

I don't want this escaping.

Just-- all this moody brooding,

I just don't like that.

Down, down.

Raise your arm.

Come closer to me,

and don't be a coward.

I don't want a coward

in the family.

Come here.

- You want me to win?

- Yes, I want you to win.

And don't be a coward.

Don't be a--

My son is not

gonna be a coward.

Stop it!

Stop!

That is gonna put

some weight on you.

Stop that shivering.

I don't want you

to shiver like that.

Don't shiver.

You're a man.

Okay?

Don't shiver like that.

You're gonna be a winner.

Just don't shiver.

A winner doesn't shiver.

F***!

I can't ever f***ing win!

I'm gonna be a winner!

I'm gonna f***ing be a winner!

I'm tired of f***ing losing.

Lamb of God...

You take away

the sins of the world,

Have mercy on us.

Lamb of God...

You take away

the sins of the world,

Have mercy on us.

Lamb of God...

You take away

the sins of the world,

Grant us peace.

Lean on Jesus,

Lean on Jesus,

Leaning on

the everlasting love.

Leaning on

the everlasting love.

That's cute.

That's too dirty.

How much are the onesies?

- Two for a dollar.

- Two for a dollar.

I'm looking for

more newborn stuff.

- Did you look on the table?

- There's bigger--

There's no real infant

clothes on the table.

It's mostly in boxes.

I don't know what I'm gonna have,

so I have to get,

you know, both.

I think it might be

a boy, though.

- First one?

- I think it might be a boy.

- First one?

- Yeah.

You'll be blessed, then.

I might have seen

a teeny weenie on the sonogram.

Yeah, well, that means

you're blessed.

- First baby.

- My first baby.

They say your womb is blessed

when you have a boy first.

- Really?

- Yeah.

That's kind of sexist,

don't you think?

I don't know. They say,

"First a boy, second a girl."

The girls come in after

the boys, you know that.

Do you have 25c?

No, I don't.

I'm sorry.

- Here you go. Good luck.

- Thank you.

Thank you very much.

How are you doing?

So now I'm gonna do

an internal on you, okay?

Okay.

You're gonna feel some jelly.

It's a little cold.

Just try to relax.

You'll feel my fingers, okay?

- Are you all right?

- Mm-hmm.

Okay, everything feels good...

Getting big.

Head is down.

Okay.

Good.

All right, you can put

your legs together.

- Who's the father?

- Father?
