- No. No, no, no.

Look, a girl like you

cannot be taking the bus.

- What happened to your arm here?

- Oh!

When I was a kid, I was bored.

- You must have been really bored.

- I was.

All right, we've got a problem.

Your sister cannot be

taking the bus anywhere, okay?

I know a guy who owns

a car rental company.

We're gonna get you a car,

we're gonna drive around in circles

in a parking lot and you

are going to learn how to drive.

- Not stick, automatic. It's a little easier.

- I would love that.

You'd love that. That's good.

You know what? Better yet,

we're gonna get you a golf cart

and you will drive the golf cart around.

Wow. Now we're talking.

Everybody should drive golf carts.

A golf cart right up Fifth Avenue, huh?

You know, they should. They should.

It would be a lot cleaner and greener.

It would be great for the city.

Brandon, what do you think?

- Sounds great.

- Yeah?

I love your brother. What an amazing man.

- How long are you here for?

- I don't know.

You don't know?

Can I see you again? Please?

Is that too forward? I find you fascinating.

I really do.

I think you're a fascinating creature.

I'd love to see you again.

Listen, why don't we...

This is a celebration, let's get champagne.

- Yes! Champagne!

- Champagne for everybody.

- The whole table! Come on.

- Champagne.

I've got it, I've got it.

Get out, get out, get out.

Come here, come here, come here.

- No!

- Come on, come on with me.

- Get off. Get off.

- How did that work?

- Get off me.

- Come on, come on.

Champagne on your dress, that's...

- Well, I'm hot, I'm hot.

- You are hot.

You are?

No! You're crushing me.

I need to take this off. I'm hot.

I need to take it off. I'm hot.

Nice sheets.

Aren't they nice sheets?

Bed Bath & Beyond.

Stop.

What if I kiss you right here?

How about here?

- Yeah?

- Sh*t.

Mmm-hmm.

What?

Stop talking!

I have to be up and out by 7:00.

It's cold.

Sissy, get out of my room.

Sissy, get out of my room.

Get the f*** out! Get out!

Hey, slacker. Your computer's back.

Dave's looking for you.

- Yeah. It was really great last night.

- Daddy, Daddy.

Listen, I gotta go, okay? Thanks for calling.

Hey, buddy.

Listen, we said an hour French,

and then Isobel's gonna pick you up

because Mommy's picking up Nathan.

All right? You can go after.

Yeah, I know, but Mommy says I can't.

Okay. Well, let's go talk to Mommy. Hmm?

- She's all the way downstairs.

- Well, go downstairs and tell her

that Daddy said

it's okay for you to go to Jason's.

Huh? Come on. How about that? Do it.

- You can do it. Get up.

- Okay.

Yeah.

Mommy? Mommy?

What's up, man?

- Steven said you wanted to see me.

- Yes.

Steve McQueen

Terence Steven McQueen (March 24, 1930 – November 7, 1980) was an American actor. He was called "The King of Cool", whose "anti-hero" persona developed at the height of the counterculture of the 1960s and made him a top box-office draw of the 1960s and 1970s. McQueen received an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Sand Pebbles. His other popular films include The Cincinnati Kid, The Thomas Crown Affair, Bullitt, The Getaway, and Papillon, as well as the all-star ensemble films The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, and The Towering Inferno. In 1974, he became the highest-paid movie star in the world, although he did not act in films again for four years. McQueen was combative with directors and producers, but his popularity placed him in high demand and enabled him to command large salaries. more…
