"Set off the detector." "Detectors in food stores." "What a society." "And I don't even want to think of the number of infants who swallowed those things and are choking to death on them." "[Sighs] What a world." "Eat a bite of turkey, you go straight to hell." "Right." "Yeah, I guess it's hard to make ends meet in the retirement sector." "Oh, I do okay."

"I am not an underachiever." "I'm not." "I am just trying to achieve something different than most people I know." "Oh, and what is that?" "Harmony." "[Laughs]" "You're a riot, Billy." "You're kind of pathetic, but you're a riot." "Let me give you some advice, Father." "The world is a sewer, and we're all livin' in hell." "The sooner you can accept that, the sooner you'll be able to get on with your life." "So long."

"Jeez, wouldn't it be nice if once when I come home, someone says hello to me?" "Sure." "But just because you come home, you can't expect everyone to just drop what they're doing and give you their undivided attention." "Well" "[Computer Chiming]" "You know what I did for the last 18 months, Candy?" "Hmm?" "I racked up over 200,000 frequent flier miles, jamming a bogus Pirates of the Caribbean village down some zoning board's throat in Shell Island, South Carolina." "Took one of the last remaining pristine beaches on the eastern seaboard, and I turned it into Toonville with fast food." "[Chuckles] Not to mention the turtles." "Turtles?" "[Computer Chimes] Yeah." "Goddamn Shell Island sea turtles." "Oldest living amphibians in North America." "But now extinct." "Pffft!" "Thanks to me." "Why?" "Because we needed their breeding grounds for a water slide." "[Computer Chimes]" "But didn't you want their breeding ground?" "Yes." "No." "Honey, could you-- I'm on-line here." "Okay?" "[Keyboard Clicking, Computer Chiming]" "Where you going?"

"You live here in Vegas?" "Mm-hmm." "Let me guess." "Keno girl?" "Hey, buddy," "I worked right alongside Donna here at the front line of the Dunes." "I'm about as close as you get to an aristocrat in this town." "You okay?" "Grieving." "Yeah, I can smell it on your breath." "You must have really loved her." "[Sighs] Yeah." "I didn't want her to get an aneurysm." "She's the only friend I've ever had." "Me too, I guess." "That was a long time ago." "Could you just, like, hold onto me for a little while?" "Oh, Donna would've been so happy to see you two like this." "Hi, Grandma." "I don't want to interrupt if you two are bonding." "Do you know him?" "Why, of course I know him." "He's your father." "[Grandma] Where does your mother keep the mayonnaise, dear?" "She didn't believe in mayonnaise." "She didn't believe in mayonnaise?" "She didn't believe in food that required electricity." "Oh, look, see?" "There I am in third grade." "That was my birthday party." "And you sent me this, remember?" " Uh, yeah, uh, I think so." " I'm still wearing it." "You know, I don't understand what mayonnaise has to do with electricity." "Well, you've got to refrigerate it." "See, they cut off our power so many times over the years that she just went with the pure preservatives." "Hey, look under the microwave, in that drawer." "There's a bunch of packs of shit from Burger King and stuff." "You got it for me in Springfield, Missouri, and you sent it from the airport in St. Louis." "See?" "Look." "It's got a B-E over F-R-I ." "Yeah, I see that." "Do you still have the other half?" "Oh, I don't know." "You know, maybe somewhere." "Well, that's okay." "It always just kind of gave me hope." "It's kind of what passes for a tradition in our family." "It was the last year you sent a present." "Well, I prefer mayonnaise, but at least this is Paul Newman's Own." "I just love Paul Newman, don't you?" "I must've rented Sweet Bird of Youth a hundred times." "So, where are you living now, Ricky?" "Um, nowhere." "I mean, you know, I travel pretty much all the time." "The gypsy life." "I love it." "I lived it myself when I was a chorus girl." "But when Mr. Sinatra got me my job at the Dunes, the roots began to sprout." "A dynasty was born." "First Donna." "Then Liv." "Hey, you're not eating." "Just when I thought my whole life was falling apart." "He's like a sign from heaven, isn't he, Grandma?" "Sure is." "Well, I gotta be in Kansas City early tomorrow morning for a show." "What?" "You're leaving?" " He's leaving, Grandma?" " It's okay, honey." "Maybe Liv could keep you company in Kansas City." " Really?" " Um, w-well" "Oh, I'm so excited I gotta pee!" "Where's she going?" "Next door." "There's always something wrong with the septic tank." "Look, what are you talking about?" "Listen, you no-good son of a bitch." "You knock up my daughter like she's some bitch in heat, and then you disappear without so much as a backward glance." "Well, it's time to pay up." "Um, well, I mean, I was gonna give you something." "You know, for the funeral and all and, well" "I'm not talking about money, but I'll take it." "Now, you better listen." "That girl is not gonna lose a mother and a father in the same week." "Oh, come on!" "You can't be serious!" "She's got a life here." "I mean, she's got a job." "She's an adult, for Christ's sake." "Just listen to me." "I don't give a damn whether you stay or go, but not until that sweet child manages to turn her life back around." "She's a special girl." "You may not be much, but you and I are all she has, and what she needs now is a father." "Don't be ridiculous." "[Sliding Door Opens]" "♪♪♪" "[Clears Throat] Good evening, sir." " Good evening."

"If you think I'm gonna drive you to California, you're delusional." "Well, it's better than crawling back on your hands and knees to those two losers, isn't it?" "[Sighs]" "I like the Cotton Candy Fuchsia, don't you, Billy?" "Very daring." "I must say, you are a connoisseur." "That is our top of the line signature hue." "Now, is this part of the $99 special?" "Alas, quality does not come cheap." "That is a creme de la creme paint job for a creme de la creme price." "The Cotton Candy series goes for 173.99, tax included." "Okay." "We'll take it, right, Billy?" "Oh, definitely." "Excellent choice." "How'd you like to pay for that?" "Cash, check, credit card?" "Uh, well, we're a little short on money right now, sir, but I'll consider it an honor and a privilege to suck your dick." "[Machinery Whirring]" "♪♪♪" "Pushing it kinda hard, ain't you?"

"She used to talk about you a lot, you know." "Did you ever miss her?" "I don't know." "I suppose so." "Well, she could not sing at all." "[Chuckles]" "But I used to love it when she would, and she would always sing the same song over and over like a broken record."

"I mean, it's just not who I am." "I'm sorry." "You know, you are so busy pushing people away and trying to be something that you're not, that when something real finally comes into your life, you can't deal with it." "Well, I am here." "I am alive." "I am your daughter." "Whether you want to take responsibility for it or not, it's a fact." "I mean, what kind of person doesn't acknowledge his own child?"

"[Chuckles] Your husband has been kind to me." "He's been a friend." "But now he's headed down this path." "Oh, that's right." "That's right." "A path." "For once in my life, it's a real path." "It's not some cheap, plastic corporate illusion of a path." "It's a real path to the real meaning of the real truth." "You know, I have actually computed in my head the odds of getting the same rental car twice in a lifetime of business travel, and do you know what they are?" "Do you know how many actual sense memories I have of being in the same off-white Chevy Caprice from the Alamo people in the Dallas-Fort Worth area alone?" "No." "It would blow your mind." "[Sniffling]" "It's nothing either one of you people can obviously ever comprehend." "I don't know what's going on, Todd, but I'm frightened." "Don't be frightened, Mrs. Woods." "Nothing's happened that can come back to haunt you, if he stops now." "Stops what?" "Huh?" "Who are you?" "I'm a friend." "Oh." "Your husband has made an error in judgment." "I would be pleased to take all the blame." "For what?" "Todd, what is going on?" "I'm getting really confused here, and I don't get it." "Because I ask you" "I say we take the country back from the McDonalds and the Pizza Huts and the Wendy's." "I say we tear down all those strip malls and we get back in touch with the inner core." "Oh, my God, Todd!" "Would you be cool?" " Wha--?" " Be cool." "[Sniffling] I gotta go." "Why?" "You just got here." "Did I say something that offended you?" "You're just plain insane."
