Igby Goes Down Page #3

- I don't know yet.

Who were you trying to hurt with the pills?

Nobody. I was improvising as I went.

I actually didn't give it a lot of thought.

I think that you are much more aware

than even you realize.

Yeah? Well, you're an idiot, so...

What the f*** are you doing?

I don't like being called an idiot.

You prick! You can't f***ing hit me!

Next fall, you'll be starting

at yet another school.

Are you gonna try to make an effort

this time around?

I'm considering my options.

Am I to understand you have four separate

doctors, all writing you prescriptions?

It's a point of convenience.

With no knowledge

of what the others are prescribing!

My dear man, I assure you,

I need my peppies.

Perhaps if you cut down on the Valium

and the sleeping pills...

...you'd have more energy.

- Without them I get very tense.

You get tense

because you pop speed like candy.

- Bad Mrs. Slocumb.

- I beg your pardon.

Patients actually tolerate

this cheeky-little-sh*t routine of yours?

Find it cute, do they?

- Mrs. Slocumb...

- Out!

- I'm not well.

- You mean literally?

Yes, literally. They've run tests.

This doesn't seem so bad.

As nice a place as any to spend the spring.

Round out your rough edges.

This'll do for ya.

I still want you

to come and work for me this summer.

Stay with Bunny and me

at the summer house. What do you think?

Now, listen, the reason that Mimi...

...your mother, hasn't been able to...

...visit you... I'm sure she wanted to.

She went to the...

...hospital for a bit of a rest,

and they discovered something else.

Something rather bad.

She's getting treatment for it. Everybody's

damn confident she'll be fine, but...

You know what mastectomy is?

Your house...

It's on the beach, right?

Contract,

It's a contract, See,

families should be run like companies,,,

,,, with everybody's responsibilities

clearly defined,

Children, at the age of reason,,,

,,, should be provided with legal

representation and a contract drawn up,

All the best relationships

are based on contracts.

Bunny and I have a contract.

Now that you're gonna come

and work for me...

...we're gonna have one.

And that piece of paper is your clean slate.

You know, you could just

take a later shuttle back to DC.

I'm past the worst of it, I think.

I'm meeting that dean

from St. Anthony's, McKaye...

...in the morning,

to beg him to admit your brother this fall.

A mother's work is never done.

- D.H. is collecting lgby today?

- Yeah.

He's picking him up from "the camp."

What a great investment

that has proven to be.

Getting to hear, for two months,

...just how much my son hates me.

That's always been
