Grey Gardens
[Mrs. Beale] What are you
doing down there? Just standing there?
- [David Maysles] Just filming the main room
- [Edie] Whiskers!
[Mrs. Beale] Well, did you know that
Whiskers has disappeared?
- A cat got out I'm trying to get him in
- [David] Has he? Ah
Yeah, we don't know how he got out
I think he got out in that hole there
- No, I knew they were coming, and l...
- I think he got out in that hole
- He can jump up there
- I knew they were coming and...
Yeah No, he got out
in that hole, Edie
I put them all out
You told me to
No, dearie, he got out
in the hole, babe
"Take the cats out,"you said
- Did you hear what I said, woman?
- What?
He got out in this hole here
That was the noise we heard
That raccoon did that to my new wall
Isn't that terrible?
They'll have the whole house
down soon
[Edie]
Yeah, we'll be raided again
We'll be raided again
by the village of East Hampton
You know, they can get you in East Hampton
for wearing red shoes on a Thursday
and all that sort of thing
I don't know whether you know that
I mean, do you know that?
They can get you
for almost anything
- [Edie] It's the Maysles!
- [Albert Maysles] Hi, Edie
- [David] The gentlemen callers
- I saw your car
- One of my cats just got out
- Edie, you look fantastic
David, you look absolutely
terrific Honestly
You've got light...
You've got light blue on
Well, Al, you're still...
Mother says you're very conservative
[Laughs]
Brooks, everything looks wonderful
- Thank you
- Absolutely wonderful
This is the best thing
to wear for the day You understand
- Yeah
- Because I don't like women in skirts
and the best thing is to wear
pantyhose or some pants
under a short skirt, I think
Then you have the pants
under the skirt
and then you can pull the stockings
up over the pants, underneath the skirt
- Uh-huh
- And you can always take off
So I think this is the best
costume for the day
- Okay
- [Laughs]
I have to think
these things up, you know
Mother wanted me to come out
in a kimono, so we had quite a fight
So what did you do, photograph Brooks
cutting right down here?
- Yeah, I've been through the jungle
- Oh, for goodness sakes
What do you want to do now?
Where do you want to go? Upstairs?
Do you want to go up
and photograph it from the top porch?
- Okay
- Okay
They're gonna photograph
from the top now, Brooks
[David]
It's a beautiful garden back here
Did you see the wall garden?
- Oh, you mean the patio You mean this
- Yeah
That's a Spanish wall garden
over there, you know
- Oh, yes
- The Hills put that in
They imported everything from Rome
Mrs. Hill, she was
a famous horticulturist
That was one of the famous
gardens of America
Brooks, next summer,
if we're all living
would be a good thing in here
You don't get
enough sunlight in here
Yeah, Mother says she doesn't mind if you
have to cut down some privet for the garden
- Would be nice
- Yeah
Because food's going up
We heard that on the radio last night
Do you think my costume looked all right
for Brooks? I think he was a little amazed
- He's probably seen it before
- No, no This is the revolutionary costume
I never wear this in East Hampton
[David] He seems okay
He seems like he can handle it
[Edie] You can't be too careful
Know what I mean?
That was the original living room
You know, people go back
to a kitchen now
Though the washing machine was always
put in the maids' dining room
You know, the washtubs are
in the maids' dining room
- Let's go up
- It's very difficult
