Lady Bird
Do you think I look like I'm from
Sacramento?
You are from Sacramento.
You don't have to do that.
Well it's nice to make things neat
and clean.
- You ready to go home?
- Ready.
Her hand moved behind his head and
supported it.
Her fingers moved
gently in his hair.
She looked up
and across the barn.
And her lips came together.
And smiled mysteriously.
You have been
listening to The Grapes of Wrath
by John Steinbeck.
If you...
Our college trip took
21 hours and 5 minutes.
Hey, why don't we, let's just
sit with what we heard?
Are you serious?
We be don't have to constantly
be entertaining ourselves, do we?
I wish I could live through
something.
Aren't you?
2002 is that it's a palindrome.
Okay fine, yours is the worst
life of all, you win.
Oh so now you're mad?
Because I wanted to listen to music?
It's just that you're being
ridiculous, because you have a great life.
I'm sorry I'm not perfect.
No one is asking you to be perfect!
Just considerate would do.
I don't even want to go to school
on this state anyway.
I hate California. I want
to go to the East Coast.
Your Dad and I will barely be able
to afford in-state tuition.
- There are loans, scholarships!
- Your brother, your very smart brother...
He can't even find a job.
He and Shelley work.
They have jobs.
They bag at the grocery store.
That is not a career and they went
to BERKELEY.
Your father's company is laying
people off right and left.
Did you even know that?
No of course you don't because...
you don't think about anybody but yourself.
An Immaculate Heart is already a luxury.
Immaculate FART. You wanted that,
not me!
Miguel saw someone knifed in front of him
at Sac High,
Is that what you want?
You're telling me that
you want to see somebody knifed
- He barely saw that.
I want to go where the
culture is, like New York.
- How in the world did I raise such a snob?
- Or at least Connecticut or New Hampshire.
Where writers live in the woods.
You couldn't get into
those schools anyway.
Mom!
You can't even pass your driver's test.
Because you wouldn't let me
practice enough!
The way that you work,
or the way that you don't work,
you're not even worth state
tuition, Christine.
My name is "Lady Bird".
Well actually, it's not, and
it's ridiculous.
Call me Lady Bird,
like you said you would!
You should just go to City College.
You know, with your work ethic., just go to
the city college...
and then to jail and then back to City
College
And then maybe you'd learn how to
pull yourself up
do everything for you.
In the name of the Father,
of the Son and of the holy spirit.
Amen.
Let the Lord be with you.
And also with you.
We all have you back for the
start of a new school year.
All the Xavier Boys.
And the Immaculate Heart girls.
Of the United States of America.
And to the republic
which it stands.
A nation, under God...
9/11 NEVER FORGE - The liberty and justice for all.
A vote for Amanda is
a vote for boys.
Boys and healthy vending
machines because
no one wants a muffin
with that many calories.
Do not ask me, Mr. Bruno,
is this gonna be on the finals?
Or Mr. Bruno, is this
gonna be in the midterms?
Because I am not gonna tell you.
That is none of your business!
You know the rules,
this is my house.
I am reading a letter of St John...
We are afraid that we will
never escape our past...
and we are afraid of what the
future will bring.
We're afraid that we will not get into the
college of our choice,
we're afraid we won't be
loved, we won't be liked,
we won't succeed.
There are the classics:
Saint Augustine, of course.
Aquinas. My favorite, Kierkegaard.
Wait until you hear...
His love story. It will
make you swoon.
And the coming of our
Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Some of the students were disturbed
by your posters.
It's just a bird head on a lady
body.
Or vice versa.
I think it's a little upsetting...
It's my tradition to run for
office.
Don't worry, I won't win.
That's not what I'm worried about.
This won't mess with my
scholarship, will it?
No, you're okay there.
You have a per formative streak, I
think.
Yeah, I think that too.
Maybe you'd enjoy theater arts.
They are having auditions for the
fall musical.
Do we have that here?
It is a collaborative effort
with the men at Xavier.
How am I a senior and not know we
have that?
Perhaps you haven't always been an
active part of this community.
They do a fall musical and a spring
play
and from what I hear it's a
real blast.
What I'd really like is to be on
Math Olympiad.
But math isn't something that you
That we know of YET.
CHRISTINE "LADY BIRD"
- There you go.
- Thanks.
Julie doesn't need to be in
quotes.
But it's not my real name.
It's not the same thing.
I'm not sure you're right...
I am in love with this neighborhood.
Yes, it is so beautiful.
If I lived here I would definitely
have my wedding in the backyard.
I'd have friends over all the time
to study and eat snacks.
I'd be like MOM WE'RE TAKING THE
SNACKS UPSTAIRS TO THE TV ROOM.
I'd have my own bathroom.
I can't stop you d*cks from hanging
out here.
But quit wrinkling all the
magazines!
When I'm in this store,
I'm not your sister.
I am a customer Miguel
and I am always right.
brother and Shelly...
They are becoming
the same person.
No way.
Yeah, okay, maybe.
See, why don't I look like that?
Yeah. Just once I'd like to have the
song New York Groove playing.
Feel like it really
applies to my life.
You've never even been to New York.
That's why I'm applying to New York
colleges.
Do you know if Sarah
Lawrence is actually IN the city?
Your parents would pay for that?
Scholarships, financial aid.
I'll figure it out.
My Mom thinks I can't get in
but she is sorely mistaken
What about terrorism?
Don't be a Republican.
I'm probably just going to go to
City College.
Sh*t!
- You doing okay, mama?
- Yeah, that was terrifying?
Wasn't it?
Thank God you were there.
I guess you can't
have pencils anymore.
Yeah, just gotta go back to just felt
tip markers. Crayola
Oh Luis this is for you! I got it
for the baby,
I couldn't resist it.
She loves pink.
Well, it's more for you and
Andrea than it is for the baby...
And I'm sorry I didn't have time to
wrap it.
- No, it's perfect.
- Okay. Good.
I'll see you tomorrow...
Or I mean, later?
- Thank you.
- Okay.
Did you know toothpaste
is basically ineffective?
It's like sucking on a mint
Mike Kelly died.
I didn't even know he was sick again.
- How old was he?
- Only fifty-six.
Can Shelly and I get in there?
In a minute honey Dad and I are
still in here!
That's too young
LADY BIRD YOU BETTER BE DRESSED!
- I AM DRESSED.!
- Yeah
I'm gonna send them a note.
