part about life?

(FIRE WORKS EXPLODING)

See, you say

something like that,

...and fireworks go off.

I say something like that

and I'd get a flat tire.

- Oh, don't be silly.

- (GIGGLES) It's true.

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATION)

(ABIGAIL AND SHARON GIGGLE)

SHARON:
Guys!

Turn on the lights

when you come in, will you?

Jay?

Wojciech?

You guys?

(FEEDBACK)

STEVEN:
You won't believe

the clarity, man.

Dig that platter.

That tonearm?

That's new, too.

The old model had that clunky plastic one.

Remember that?

(SIGHS)

It's really far out, Steve.

Four speeds.

Volume.

Tone controls.

What more could you need?

Am I right?

How does it sound?

Oh, out of sight, man.

But are you sure

you wanna hear her?

Yeah.

Why wouldn't I?

Because as soon as you

hear this beauty...

...no way are you letting me

leave here with her.

(CHUCKLES)

I've got the scratch,

if that's what you're asking.

(CHUCKLES)

(INHALES AND EXHALES)

Here, put these on.

After this, you won't need

acid to see the music, man.

(LAUGHING)

Okay.

Won't hurt though, right?

(CHUCKLES) Not a bit, man.

(EXHALES)

Crimson and Clover playing

(SONG STOPS)

(GASPS)

- What'd you do that for?

- (CHUCKLES)

He who pays the piper

calls the tune.

What does that mean?

Means, you gonna pony up

the dough for it, or what?

Hi, Mom. You're up late.

I know.

Yes, I know.

I'm excited to see you, too.

(CHUCKLES) Yeah.

Huh?

Oh, I did.

The dress was delivered today.

Yeah, right, just in time.

It's...

(SHARON GIGGLES)

It's beautiful.

I'll wear it tomorrow.

Thank you.

Okay, get some sleep.

I love you, too.

- I guess fashion really is dead.

- We should bury it.

Let's go get some shovels.

(ABIGAIL AND SHARON GIGGLE)

ABIGAIL:
She's making me

wear it tomorrow.

Hey, who's that chick that

lives up at the main house?

She looked familiar.

Uh, she's been in a bunch

of movies and TV shows.

(CRACKERS BURSTING)

You, like,

party with her ever?

Sometimes, yeah.

She and her old man got a real

vibe going on up there, so...

People come and go.

We good?

(CHUCKLES)

(CLICKS TONGUE)

All right. Peace, man.

(CHUCKLES)

(FIREWORKS EXPLODING)

Fourth of July

was over a month ago.

What are people thinking?

I don't know.

End of summer, maybe?

People use any excuse

to blow stuff up.

So,

...you wanted to talk?

Mmm.

Mmm, yeah.

(SIGHS) No.

(STAMMERS)

I don't know anymore.

You don't know what?

I feel...

I feel like maybe I had you

figured out all wrong somehow.

How so?

Because I never figured you to be

the sort of trust fund girl...

...who would go crawling back

to mommy and daddy...

...as soon as they threatened

to stop sending the dough.

I'm not crawling back to them.
