Margot At The Wedding Page #5

Do you understand?

Stay out of it, b*tch.

That was the Voglers.

Jesus, Margot, what are you doing?

They already hate us.

Don't you tell me what I can

and can't do. That is child abuse.

Mom, she was psychotic.

Stop picking on me, everyone.

Oh, God.

It could be anyone's.

What are they gonna do to us?

They're not going to do anything, honey.

We have to cut down the tree.

You should have seen

that woman's face.

Margot completely set her off.

Where are we gonna get married then?

We'll get married

in the f***ing driveway if we have to.

Your mom started a war.

We have to make sure we wear shoes,

because they might

start throwing glass.

- Has that happened before?

- I can't remember. I think so.

No, it definitely has. Now I remember.

- Where you going?

- To town. I'll be back for dinner.

Come on, Margot, nobody blames you.

- Is that Dick Koosman?

- Yeah. He has a house up here.

- What's he doing with Mom?

- Good question.

Dick and his daughter asked us over

to swim tomorrow.

We didn't invite them to the wedding.

You're not really friends.

We're friends enough that it's awkward.

Maisy baby-sits for us all the time.

He's doing the interview with me

in town on Friday.

Did I tell you he and I are collaborating

on a screenplay?

An adaptation of one of Dick's novels.

No, I didn't even know you knew

he was up here.

Is he even a good writer?

Why do people care about him?

You're competitive with everyone.

It doesn't even matter

if they do the same thing as you.

He's competitive with Bono.

It's true. I don't subscribe to the credo

that there's enough room

for everyone to be successful.

I think there are only

a few spots available,

and people like Dick Koosman

and Bono are taking them up.

Malcolm, what would ever make

you think that's something

to draw right now?

Sorry.

I wasn't thinking about it. Sorry, Margot.

You found it.

- Hi!

- Hey, Maisy.

Thank you, Pauline.

- Hi.

- How are you?

- What's up?

- I don't wanna do this.

- Come on, don't be that way.

- No, I'm not being that way.

I just don't feel like it.

I'm gonna go back and...

I have work to do.

Dick doesn't care

that you don't make any money.

Is that what you... That's not why.

I just hate swimming. I really hate it.

It's disgusting to me.

My mistake was saying

I would do it to begin with.

You have fun.

Fine. We'll have fun.

People always pee in the pool.

I don't think Dick and Maisy pee

in their pool.

I'll bet you $500 there's pee in that pool.

To the end and back.

Claude, you say go.

Okay. Go!

- How's your dad?

- Good.

He and I shared a thesis advisor

at Stanford. Did you know that?

No.

I was dating your mom back then.
