Virginia Page #4

Synopsis: Virginia is a charming, yet mentally ill mother whose greatest love is her protector and illegitimate son, Emmett. But her longest love belongs to the local-married-Mormon Sheriff, who is running for public office and might very well be Emmett's father. This boardwalk town's well-kept secrets are threatened when Virginia's son begins a romantic relationship with Tipton's daughter. "What's Wrong With Virginia" is a humorous, heartfelt drama that pokes at the American dream as it charges toward a climactic shoot out that begs the question: can a woman like Virginia ever play the part of mom?

- Yes, it's real.

You didn't tell me he'd have a friend over.

Who? Oh, you mean Dale?

I was thinkin' maybe...

they could go someplace else tonight.

Well, they still have one more movie.

Total runnin' time, 164 minutes.

Look what Mr. Tipton

got you as a present.

He says it's half-price night at the pier.

I'm gonna hang here for a while.

Let's go.

Hold me close.

And tell me how you feel.

Tell me love is real

Words of love.

You whisper soft and true...

I need to tell you somethin'.

I went to the doctor.

He let me know somethin' big.

What is it?

Hmm?

I'm gonna have a baby.

A new one.

Whose baby?

It's all yours.

I promise.

There ain't been nobody else.

Untie me.

Are you mad?

Just untie me.

You've been doin' this

with somebody else again?

Nobody else.

I promise.

You know, I personally

don't believe in it, but...

...in this case, I...

I think it's best if I

support your decision

not to have this baby.

I ain't gonna do that.

Virginia... tell me,

what other option do we have?

- Hmm?

- I don't know.

- Hmm?

- Dick, I won't tell nobody.

I promise.

No, no, I-I just can't

have this right now.

- I f***ed up last time!

- It's just not possible!

I know I f***ed up last time,

but this one'll be raised right, I swear!

I swear to you, Dick,

I will do everything right!

Dick...

Please.

From then on, every Tuesday,

there was money in the mail.

I could've moved us

outta here in six months

with a couple hundred bucks a week,

and we needed outta here real bad, Willie.

And I guess nobody noticed

he was sendin' me campaign money,

'cause his campaign folks

had bigger fish to fry.

We have a problem.

The governor doesn't want

to come here anymore for Labour Day.

- Why not?

- Because they have

a red-white-and-blue Ferris wheel

up in Jersey.

What colour is our Ferris wheel?

Pink, and it ain't ours.

Move it! Move it!

I know what you people think of me.

Well, f*** you! Okay? F*** you!!

That's my pink Ferris wheel,

and it's staying pink!

And I want my goddamn lawyer.

I...

I really would like

to change the colour of your Ferris wheel.

So... what can I offer you?

Well, I wanna be on the city's board

from here on out.

- Done.

- And I go to all the campaign events.

Great. We can do that.

Then you repaint my wheel.

Pink.

Right?

Mom?

Mom, this is Emmett.

Oh... Oh, I'm sorry.

I don't wanna stain your nice shirt.

Are you with our congregation?

I don't know. I live east of here.

He doesn't go to church yet,

he's thinkin' about coming to ours.

Oh. Great.

Well, you can sit with us on Sunday, then.

And this is Richard, my husband.

Richard, this is Jessica's new friend,

Emmett.

It's nice to meet you, sir.
