One More Time Page #4

Synopsis: Rattling around in his mansion in the Hamptons, faded Sinatraesque crooner and notorious ladies man Paul Lombard stews over the acclaim that eluded him in his career and the trail of romantic wreckage he left in his wake. Matters are complicated when his punk rocker daughter Jude arrives in need of a place to stay and burdened with problems of her own....including a rivalry with her overachieving sister, her own ruinous love life, and above all, a fraught relationship with her famous father.

A driving lesson?

You're hilarious.

You could do comedy

as part of your act.

And by the way, you're right.

Why wouldn't I be... look

at where I'm living.

You live in the Hamptons.

Yes, the slums of the Hamptons.

We're not even on the

beach side of the street.

I had to cut the woods

back to three days a week.

I had to get rid of the

gardener and the pool guy.

At my age, it's not good.

And I notice, you

never turn down

a hand out from the old

family treasure chest,

miss soon to be homeless.

Speaking of, you could take

your own advice, career-wise.

Please.

I don't want to do this, Paul.

Just save it.

You have a wonderful talent.

I mean, why don't you

do something with it?

What about p*ssy fart?

It's a punk rock

thing you dabbled in.

Post punk.

And I did not dabble in it.

It was my full time job

for nearly two years.

Stop.

You were the bass player.

Meaning what?

The bass is a big, ugly thing.

You know, for a

girl it's unseemly.

That is so f***ing sexist.

Oh, Jude, don't work blue.

You know, cursing means you

don't know what you're talking

about, said Thomas Aquinas.

You know, there are a lot

of great female bassists.

Kim Gordon, Kim deal.

Kim Jong Il.

And I sang backup, too.

Kim Jong Il.

I sang backup, too.

Yeah, that's not backup to me.

It's like cats screaming.

Jesus.

You know, I noticed that

your contempt for our music

didn't stop you from

banging our drummer.

Why do you bring that up?

It's spilled milk

under the bridge.

For you.

So, you're holding

up this punk band

as evidence of your...

Your focus on success.

Ok, I didn't say that we were

your close personal friends,

the Beatles, but yeah,

by punk standards

we were moderately successful.

Yeah.

Post punk.

How many albums did

this band put out?

That is not a fair yardstick.

For the record.

- One.

- What label?

And an EP.

What label?

Chlamydia.

That's not a label.

Anything run out of a

garage is not a label.

In publishing it's what

we call vanity press.

Now you're an expert on

the publishing industry?

I'm an expert on

the music business...

Or is it the vanity part of it?

Hey, I know the difference.

Classic.

When you do it, it's boutique.

When I do it, it's vanity.

Like the man said,

I've forgotten more

about the business

than you'll ever know.

Hell of a pep talk.

Thank you.

Yeah, boost my confidence

by insulting me?

No, I'm not doing that.

I'm... I'm trying to help.

Doesn't matter what

you were trying to do.

Stay.

You know, don't... come on.

Keep me company.

I'll be dead soon.

Good morning.

How you doing?

Good morning, Mr. Paul.

Going to play golf,

in case anybody cares.

So do you really think dad
