(0.00 / 0 votes)My great, great, great...
great uncle was a signer
of the Declaration of Independence,
and my mother's side started building
New York before the Revolution.
You get the idea.
I went to a party once and there was
a palm reader there.
When she looked at my hand,
She just-
She froze.
And I said to her,
"I know.
My life line is broken.
I know I won't live
past 30."
You know those photos
of smiling families
you always see
on a mantelpiece?
I can't even look at them,
because you never know
what they're hiding.
A "Life Magazine" photographer
came to our house
to photograph
the "ideal American family. "
We looked happy
and pretty,
but underneath
it just wasn't
that way at all.
Looks like the country
is disintegrating.
Lost all its hope.
There's always hope no matter
what's happened before.
Yeah?
Where's the hope in that?
God, wouldn't it be wonderful
to know that students
were looking at your work,
analyzing it?
That depends on
what they're saying.
I mean, people say
he's a no-talent freak.
He's changing the way
that we look at the world, isn't he?
I think people
who manage to do that
must have the hardest
time in life.
Are you sure you'll be okay
in New York?
I'll be fine. I've got Chuck
to look after me.
Oh, Syd, why won't
you come too?
Where I come from,
it's not easy to get a scholarship.
You know, I'm not so sure
about Chuck.
He can be a real
shit sometimes.
Don't worry.
Edie!
Chuckie, how can you want to go home?
We're in Manhattan.
To become an artist,
I had to get out of that classroom.
And to me New York was Jackson
Pollock sipping vodka
and dripping paint
over a raw canvas.
There's so much to see, Chuck.
Look where we are.
Yeah, taking
New York by storm.
Two zombies.
Chuck and I had come down
together from Cambridge.
You know, he was
a flamboyant socialite
who carried a pocketful
of calling cards.
He made me feel
I wasn't alone.
- Can we play the game?
- I don't want to.
- Come on.
- All right, go.
- Lamb.
- Chop.
- Pony.
- Snout.
- Shy.
- You.
- You think I'm shy?
- Sometimes.
I guess I can
be shy sometimes.
Forgive me, Father,
for I have sinned.
What are your sins, my son?
Well, I have this
friend Mark.
Well, he buys all these clothes
from Bloomingdale's.
But because he's from London,
everybody on the Cape
keeps talking about
his "fabulous English look,"
which really is so good.
He was at a party
up there last weekend
and punched him in the stomach.
When Mark asked him why,
he just said it was
"for wearing a pink coat. "
I know I should have
been happy for Mark
that Norman Mailer
punched him,
"Will Norman Mailer ever punch me?"
Andy, why do you come
to confession?
Well, because
it's a sin not to.
Edie, come on now.
It's going to be over
by the time you're done.
You're not even
going to meet him.
We're going to be late.
Very late.
I just don't understand. Why are
Jasper's selling and mine are not?
I wonder if Picasso
knows who I am yet.
Andy, what are you doing
here all by yourself?
How's the movie business?
Oh, well, it's busy,
but I wouldn't call it a business.
I haven't made
any money off of it yet.
Of course you haven't, Andy.
The movie business
is the most fickle in the world.
- You know that.
- Oh.
Listen, I have met
the most remarkable lady.
- Oh.
- Old money- very old.
Oh good, does she want
to buy a painting? Who is she?
Oh, thank you.
Oh!
That's her.
That's Edie Sedgwick.
Oh.
What good manners. Chuckie,
