Behold the florist.

I cannot stay!

I'll come back,

but I have to go home now.

I'll come back.

If you need me, you just call me.

I need you.

I need you now.

You have to be here now!

When I need you, I need you! Now!

I need you, Mom!

Listen to me.

You are a big girl, all right?

- Please! Please!

- Act like a big girl.

You've got to.

And you are.

So be my big girl.

Now listen to me.

I have to go home.

I have to.

Fine. Fine!

- Get out!

- All right, now wait.

- Get the f*** out!

- No, not like this.

Yeah, like this! Get out!

There. Get the f*** out!

- For God's sake.

- Get out!

- Not like this, not like this.

- Yeah, like this. Get the f*** out!

- Look.

- There, get out!

- All right. Fine, fine, fine. Fine.

- Go, go!

- All right, fine.

- Get out!

That's it.

That-

She's booked for 16 shoots this week,

but I'll see what we can do.

And you are erupting forms...

Tell Scavullo he can have her-

out of the center

of all this tired, old beauty.

Shaming them.

Excuse me?

Tired, old beauty?

You can have Renee. I know you want Gia,

but you can't have Gia. Not until June.

This little wop is not standing

in front of me. You got that?

I'm off to the side, or I walk.

Yeah, me too.

Does this dress

make my ass look fat?

Your ass is fat, honey.

And I'm not standing

next to her fat ass.

I know.

Life is so disappointing.

Here you are.

You have arrived.

You are here.

This is your moment.

What do you have?

You have pain.

When you have everything...

what do you have?

You have nothing.

When everything is right,

everything is wrong.

It's disappointing.

It's confusing.

This is life.

What can you do?

People keep going away from me.

That hurts.

Work.

Work.

You have a gift.

Use it.

Life will be there later.

When you've worked

and you've lived...

and you know who you are,

life is easy.

Work.

It's the only answer I know.

I should've been a rock star.

But I can't sing.

Work now.

You can live later.

You'd say anything

to get that shot.

- Yes.

- Yes.

In this case,

I'm saying the truth.

Sweetheart.

Now here's the picture.

You girls all hate Gia...

because she is so much prettier

than the rest of you.

You're all so boring.

She is so exciting.

If you don't like it,

please vanish from my world.

No, I'm sorry,

she's not available.

I know, darling.

You can't get-

And she went to live

in a beautiful house...

and all the people loved her,

and she was very, very happy.

No, she's on her way to Rome then.

She's shooting Versace in Milan...

and Yves St. -Laurent in Paris.

Perry has her for

the only runway show she's doing.

But the people in the village

were very poor...

and every night, they crept
