"Chuck, you really are completely ruthless." "(rock music playing)" "I'll get you right." "(laughs)" "Hey, Rich, did you see my mother's face when she met Andy?" "I thought she was gonna burst." "I know, my mother's horrified." "Brig keeps threatening to invite him to Christmas dinner if she doesn't up our allowances." "Well, no wonder you never run out of money." "Edie." "Syd!" "What are you doing here?" "(smacks)" " I've been sent to find you." " Oh, that sounds mysterious." " Who sent you, the Red Chinese?" " No, but..." "I am working for someone pretty big." " Rockefeller?" " Bigger." "Bigger than Rockefeller and the Red Chinese?" "Well, pray tell, who?" "Why don't you come with me and I'll show you." "Who's that?" " Taxi!" " Oh, darling, I landed straight down on my Margaret Jarrold pumps." "Thank God I didn't break an ankle." " You know, when I came to New York..." " Second Avenue and Fifth, please." "(both speaking French)" "Edie:" "Oh, it's windows, dear, windows." "Andy realized that I wasn't an artist, but who was I, a model?" "That didn't seem to fit either." "That'll be 85¡é, please." " Shit, I don't have any cash." " You've got to be kidding me." " I never carry any either." " What?" " Here, take this." " What's that?" "That is a beautiful ring just for you." "(laughs) Are you coming?" "You're still sculpting, I hope." "That was just my great escape." "Do you remember that time when we went to that restaurant..." "oh, what was it called?" "Durgin Park in Faneuil Hall." "And all the waiters were so crusty, and... oh!" "Watch it." "Watch it!" "Jesus." "And then I was dancing on the tables, do you remember?" "And I think that they thought that I stole something, when really I only meant to borrow it." "Oh no, it wasn't you!" "I don't know what you're talking about." "It was Don-Don." "And Chuckie was there." " Edie." " I nearly died laughing." "Edie, I have somebody that I want you to meet." "This is Edie Sedgwick." "Photographer:" "Edie, how about a picture?" "Well, hello." "Photographer:" "Why don't you put your arm around her?" "Photographer:" "Hey, how about one shot?" "One shot, Miss Sedgwick?" "I got to go to work, sweetheart." "(crowd cheering)" "(harmonica playing)" "Well, I wasn't interested in him because he was famous." "It wasn't as if he was the first famous person I'd ever met." "But he was so different." "(laughing)" "We caught a couple of your films last week at the Cinemateque." "You did?" "And?" "And, uh..." "they were good." "No no, they were good." "We just... well, we didn't really understand they were..." "I don't know, what they meant." "I don't know if they're supposed to mean... I... it's just sort of like," "I don't know, watching a Henry Moore sculpture but a little bit out of focus, you know?" " (laughing)" " Pretty pretentious." "I don't know if it clears it up for us." "Sounds very pretentious." " That clear it up for us." " Could... could... could I get a little milk for my coffee?" "What about you?" "Your songs are pretty..." "pretty profound." "What are you trying to say?" "I'm not..." "I'm not trying to say anything." "I just write them." "I don't know, I guess I write about what I see." "That's really good." "It's a doodle." "It's not..." "No no no, that's... that's a good drawing." "Wow." "So you're an artist." "Oh no, not really anymore." "What?" "You're not drawing anymore?" "Why?" "It's just it's hard to find the time to sit down and be alone." "I just find it hard to sit still." "Seriously... you got to, you know, you got to find the time to do this." "The music was just hypnotic." " I just think he's so maximal." " Isn't he?" "And he just has that power." "You know people who have that power." " Like Superman?" " You can't really explain why it is." "It just is." "Well, what do you say to someone like that?" "I mean, he's just so famous." " We didn't really talk, you know." " Oh, you didn't?" "It was just nice to meet him." "Andy, what do you think of this?" "Tres chic or tres fou?" "Oh, tres chic, definitely." "Well, I have to watch my spending." "Especially on clothes." "You know, I already stopped wearing underwear." "Shit, what other sacrifices do I have to make?" "Who do you think you are?" "Your family is so rich." "I mean, you're living on Easy Street." "Oh!" "Oh, Mama would love this." "I can buy it for you." "Oh no, you need to watch your spending." "So, tell me more things." "Who else was he there with?" "I don't really remember that, you know?" "But it was just something about those lyrics." "What he was saying was really poignant." "Like he really had something to say." "What?" "I was just saying that he really had something to say." " How much is this?" " Vendor:" "Seven." " $7?" " $7." "Oh no, that's too much." "Well, I could give you $4." "What do you think?" "I think you look beautiful." "(laughs)" "Oh, I don't know if he... this, uh..." "What's wrong?" "Is this about that Syd character?" "Have you ever analyzed things to the degree where you can't really remember the difference between what's real and what you've created in your head?" "I know that I'm real." "And I know that you're real." " (knocking on door)" " And I know that's real." "(laughs)" "I don't know." "I just wish life could be more simple, you know, sometimes." "James, dear, what are you doing here so early?" " I..." " Sit down." "We had an appointment at my office at noon, Miss Sedgwick." "It's 2:30." "You've known me since I was three, James." "Call me Edie." "Your... spending, Miss Sedgwick." "You're going to be bankrupt soon." "James, you take life too seriously." "How could I possibly be bankrupt?" "My grandfather invented the elevator." "Then you should be familiar with the concept of up and down." "When you got here, your trust fund... thank you." "Your trust fund was up." "After a year and a half, it's almost in the basement." " Oh shit." " What, what, what?" "Well, what about all the money that I'm making?" "Well, you keep spending it." "Your father is very upset with you cavorting with drug addicts and fringe elements." "You tell Fuzzy for me that those are some very talented people." "If you don't change your friends, you'll get nothing from him." "Rich, will you make sure the oven's off?" "I'm sorry, I have to go." "(opera playing)" "Oh, looks like Cupid's been busy as a bull dyke." "You look beautiful, honey." "Hello." "What are you doing?" "Thought you weren't gonna paint any more." "Ondine:" "Oh, look, it's Judy Garland." "Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out she was really a man?" "(high-pitched voice) Wouldn't it be funny if it turned out" "Gerard was really a man?" "(high-pitched voice) When you get through sucking on that, come over and see for yourself." "Brigid:" "Only if I can record the slurps." "Oh, Andy, Sam called." "He's sending a limo for us for the show tonight." "I hear rock stars like limos." "I think it's just delicious that Edie has a boyfriend." "I'm not looking for anything like that." "Ondine:" "Okay." "Don't be jealous, Andy." "He's nothing like you." "Oh no, I'm not." "I've just never made it with a rock star before." " It must be neat." " I'm not making it..." "Why do you do that?" "Why do you have to make me feel guilty?" "I hate it when people make me feel bad." "Well, you lied to me." "You said you didn't talk to him." " And then that picture in the paper..." " Andy, this is absurd." "It was a photograph." "You know, we barely met." "You meet people all the time." "Do you fuck them?" "Well, I just think sex is too abstract anyway." "Reporter:" "Andy, what do you think about the war in Vietnam?" "I don't know." "Ask Edie." "What do you think, Edie?" "Well, we prefer "I Dream of Jeannie."" "Reporter:" "Andy, in the story of your life, who would you want to play Andy Warhol?" "Oh, Edie." "She's so perfect." "She does everything better than me." " Hi." " Hello." "Andy, I need to talk to you." "I've gotten myself into a little pickle and I was just wondering if you could maybe pay me for some of my work?" "Edie, you know the movies haven't made any money yet." "So you just need to be patient." "Well, I can't be patient." "I have nothing to live on." " Andy, you and I both know..." " Sam." "...that you are never giving up painting." "You've just been saying that to get publicity." " Well, guess what?" " What?" " It worked." " Great." "Come on, everyone wants to meet you." "This way." "(cheering, applause)" "Hello, kitty-kat." "Hello." "That's a wonderful scarf." "Thank you." "Left my tux in the shop." "You here to buy a painting?" "Tell me, why are all these cats gonna pay a fortune for a soup can?" "I mean..." "You just have to look beyond the obvious." "Am I stupid, or..." "I don't get it." "Am I stupid?" "You're being a little stupid." "I mean, don't you think it's intriguing?" "Not just a little bit?" "You know, it may just be a painting, but it's an idea." "And the man behind that idea is what's interesting." "I think the man has got his priorities all out of whack." "Whole world's burning up and this cat's making... gods out of garbage." "Well, the whole world may be burning up, but that doesn't mean that we have to be cynical." "See, when I look at drink I don't see that it's half empty." " What, it's half full?" " No." "No, it's time for you to go to the bar to get me another." "(laughs) There's a smile." "Got the whole world on a string, don't you?" "But inside there... well, it's as empty as your friend's soup can." "I'll see you around... superstar." "Andy:" "Well, you're just so smart, Chuck." "I just think you should start directing." "I mean, you do the camera so good." "We always need people like you just to make things happen." "Well, I mean, I'm really just here for Edie, you know?" "Oh." "Well, it's just such a pity that she should get all the attention when you're the one who found her." "(elevator signal rings)" "I hope she still wants to do more movies." "She does." "We... we do, we love movies." "I mean, in fact, I had this..." "I just don't know if she's being... well, I mean, you know her better than me." "But, it seems like when the camera's on sometimes she just doesn't seem..." "I don't know, I just wouldn't want it to be disappointing." "It won't." "I can have her say anything you want." "She trusts me more than anyone." "Oh." "Yeah." "Oh yeah." "That's much better." "It's less faggy." "(rock music playing)" "(laughing) Did I smudge it?" "There." "Darling, you look fabulous." "El fabulisimo grande." "Chuck:" "Hey, Andy." "We're ready." "Okay." ""Beauty Number Two," an Andy Warhol production." "Daddy, will you pass me my martini?" " Chuck:" "Edie?" " Yes, Chuckles?" "(giggles)" "Chuckles... didn't I give you that name?" "Edie, do you like horses?" "Horses have whiskers." "Yes, horses." "Do you ride?" "Since I was a little girl, I've just adored them." "Daddy taught me to ride before I could walk." "My first horse..." "Your father was a handsome man?" "Oh, Fuzzy?" "He still is." "How about your brothers?" "They were quite attractive, too, weren't they?" "They must have had a lot of women then." "Wha...?" "Did they find you attractive?" "Of course." "I was their family." "Did you find them attractive?" " Do you..." " Can you change the question?" "Find Gino attractive?" "That's... that's what I was going to ask you, Edie." "Gino?" "He's devastatingly handsome, isn't he?" "Kiss him." "Are you scared?" "Come on, Edie." "Like you mean it." "Gino, she likes when you get rough." " She likes those tough men." " (Edie whimpers)" "Strong men are what turn you on, isn't that right, babycakes?" "No." "Not like your brother, Minty." "Your father wasn't so keen on him, was he?" "(groans)" "Who was he keen on?" "You?" "Okay, get off!" "Enough!" "(chuckles)" "(clatters)" "Andy, are we finished?" "No, Edie, we're still rolling." "(man speaking over radio)" "(horn honks)" "Billy:" "Sedgwick." "(honking)" "Edie Sedgwick!" "Hello." "What, are you trying to kill me?" "How'd a nice chick like you get mixed up in the whole acting racket?" "It was "Breakfast At Tiffany's."" "You know that poster with Audrey and her hair's pulled back and she's smoking through the black cigarette holder?" "You want to live in a movie?" "I never saw the movie." "So then you haven't read the book, huh?" "Well, Audrey isn't in the book." "Book's a bit different." "Book's about a working girl and a writer." "An artist." "You see, the artist steals the girl's stories, makes a fortune, and the girl doesn't get anything." "Why do you have such a problem with Andy?" "Because of what he worships." "And what about you?" "I mean, I saw your face in those flashbulbs." "You pretend to be some sort of crusader, but I saw you basking in it." "Oh, don't get us confused, sister, all right?" "Those bulbs, they get a message out." "What... what exactly is the message... aside from "Look at me"?" "Nah, I'm just a guitar player." " That's all." " No no." "You're an overpaid prophet and I'm a poor little rich girl." "Lady, you don't know shit about shit." "Open your eyes, you know?" "Take a look at the world around you, okay?" " It's very easy for you to say that..." " It's not all Park Avenue." " You do know that, don't you?" "...from your wonderful, very glorified position where you have your cars and your houses and your fucking bike." "You think I give a shit about any of this?" " I think it's obvious you do." " You think I actually care?" "It's not real, babe." "(both laughing)" " Billy:" "Big house, huh?" " Edie:" "Big house." " Big family, too?" " Big family." "Tell me about your house." "Mmm." "We lived on a ranch." "We lived on two ranches in California." " Two ranches?" " Two ranches with..." "Must have been a big family." "It was a big family." "We had horses and cattle and we had..." "Lots of brothers and sisters?" "We had eight brothers and sisters." "Now I have six brothers and sisters." "Well, what happened to the other two?" "Minty... (exhales)" "Hanged himself at a place called Silver Hill, which was sort of... a rehabilitation center." "And Bobby..." " Jesus." "...who was my elder brother ran his bike into a bus on Fifth Avenue." "But the funny thing was was that I was in a... a car accident on the same..."

"Hey, you wanna hear my new idea for a movie?" "Think I can invite her for dinner?" " Who?" " Edie." "You wanna introduce her to your mother?" " (Slovakian music playing)" " Why?" "Well, I hadn't thought..." "I don't know." "Might be nice." "Brigid:" "Jeez, Andy, you must really miss her." "You never invite anybody else over." "Oh, cut it out." "You can't be that mean." "Well, you never invited me over." "You need to lose 25 Ibs first." "My mother's not gonna feed you." "She's nastier than you are." "She is not!" "(laughing)" "I draw too, like Andy." "Oh, you do?" "My husband work in coal mine back then, yeah?" "And he very very good-Iooking." "Beautiful white hair." "Every girl want this boy, but he want me." " But I no want." " Well, why didn't you want him?" " I 15." " Oh." "But then one day, he bring chocolate... (laughing) ...for purposes to marry him." "So for this candy, I marry him." "(Edie laughing)" "Oh!" "You make my Andy so very happy." "Oh." "Oh, my special boy." "With you, I think, all his skin blotches go away." "Mama, dost." "Let me help you with that." "You the boss, applesauce." "(Edie laughing)" "You know, Andy, I've been spending a lot of time with Billy." "And I think that the more I think about it," "I really think that you should meet." "You'd really like each other." "Why would he want to meet me?" "Well, because you're a genius." "And he's a genius." "Well, isn't he a genius, Julia?" "Julia:" "Oh, my boy a genius." "Can you imagine how..." "I mean, if we made a movie or something, wouldn't that be fun, how explosive that would be?" "I just think if we took him to The Factory everybody would respond very well." "Plus, he'd look beautiful..." "Edie, I just wanted to get that for you." "I know it's only $50, but, well, I just like the word "genius."" "I just think you should say it over and over." "Genius, genius, genius, genius..." "Yeah, I dream of genius." " Billy:" "Genius?" " Edie:" "Mmm-hmm." "He used that word?" "That sounds like your word." "Well, genius, brilliant, superstar... they're just words." "What's important is the sentiment." "What's important is the word." "Well... you say you want to make a movie with me, let's make a movie." "Why?" "You want to make a movie with me, I need to know why." "Oh, babycakes." "You're gonna hurt that enormous brain of yours with all that thinking you do." "(chuckles)" "Ow." "Oh, Andy, don't be nervous." "(elevator doors open)" "Oh he's here." "Chuck, get the camera ready." "He's here." " Oh, hello." " There she is, baby." "You know Andy." " Hey." " Say hello." "This is Andy." "Hi." "Oh, wow, you're such a beauty." "Oh, here, would you sign my book?" "Yeah, man." "Oh, great." "Thank you." "This is everybody." "This is The Factory." "Should we start?" "What do you think?" "Yeah, let's..." "I think we should discuss salary in the beginning so there's no misunderstanding." "Oh, he never pays the actors." "You expect him to work for free?" "Uh... um..." " I could give him $11." " $11?" " (Billy laughing)" " He's got $11." "$11." "Maybe we just take 11 of these instead." "No, man." "Don't sweat it." "I think my grandma's got 11 of these stacked in her basement." " You know?" " (laughs)" "So... oh, you want to make a movie?" " Oh, yeah." " Where do we start, Andy?" "Yeah, do you want to just sit down here in front of the camera?" "You know what, man?" "Nah, I don't wanna sit." "Can I just stand in front of the chair?" "Oh, yeah." "I mean, you know, you can do whatever." "It's your screen test." "No, it's not." "It's yours." "Come on, man, direct me." "Well, sit down." "(laughs)" "I'm sorry." "You could just look at the camera maybe." "Yeah, I could do it." "So this is where you work?" "This is where you paint your cans of beans" " or whatever?" " Yeah." "It's a big space, man." " Thanks." " Right in the city." "Must be real expensive." "Oh, no." " No, it's not." " Guy like you...

" You understand that he's my friend." " He's your friend?" "He's my friend." "Baby, your friend is a bloodsucker, you know that?" "You're his prop." "Okay?" "You're disposable to him." "Man, you should fucking hate him." " He'll fucking kill you." " I can't hate him!" "Come on, man." "Let me out." "I'm not kidding, man." "Let me out." "Edie, come on." "Come with me." "You're so scared, baby." "You're so scared of losing everything that doesn't mean anything." "Take care of yourself, babe." "Edie's voice:" "It was the biggest mistake of my life."

" She said I could borrow it." "No no no." "Either you take it off or I'm gonna take it off for you." " It's your choice." " She just said that he could borrow..." "Take off the fucking coat!" "Silver:" "Hey, man, just mellow out, man." "Now get the fuck out of here." " Get the fuck out of here!" " Okay." "We were just leaving, man." "Don't fucking touch me." "Peace, man." "Hey, yeah." "Bye, Edie." "Syd, is that you?" "Let me see." "What are you doing?" "I said it all to him." "I told him." "L-I said it to Andy." "I said it all to him." "Is that why you're here?" "Are we going upstate like he said?" "'Cause if we are," "I just need to put a few things into a bag." "He's out of town, all right?" "But maybe, maybe when he gets back." "All right?" "Did... did my father call you?" "Is that why... is he gonna lock me up again?" "No." "Syd, will you stay..." " stay the night with me?" " No." "Edie." "Lately, I..." "I feel like I'm gonna die." "You're not gonna die, Edie." "You're gonna be fine." "I promise." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "Hey, how about I buy you something to eat?" "Can I do that?" "(horns honking)" "Looks like an accident." "It may be a while." "Where are we going, Syd?" "I want to show you something." "Do you remember that girl?" "Huh?" "That's... what was I thinking?" "The only reason I ever went to that class was because of you." "It's true." "Do you remember her?" "No." "(sobbing)" "Edie!" "Edie's voice:" "I'm not saying that anyone else is responsible." "I made decisions, life decisions that I regret." "But I really feel like I can do this." "I can stay off the drugs, and I realize that it will be a battle every day, but so far so good, right?" "But I'm home." "Santa Barbara is my home." "And I have a small show." "Did I tell you that?" "I mean, it's nothing major." "It's just in a frame shop, but it's something." "I just think people forgot what emotions were supposed to be." "I mean, it's too hard to care." "I mean, you know, I still care, but it would just be so much nicer not to care." "It's just easier being detached." "What about Edie?" "Oh, what about Edie?" "I haven't seen her in years." "You know she died yesterday?" "Oh, yeah." "Do you think your breakup had something to do with that detachment?" "Well, it wasn't a breakup." "I mean, that makes it sound like we were..." "I mean, this is gonna be really hard if we have to... if..." "You know, it was just so long ago." "I mean, I hardly knew her at all, so..." "Andy:" "I wonder if people are gonna remember us." " Edie:" "What, when we're dead?" " Yeah." "Edie:" "I think people will talk about how you changed the world." "Andy:" "I wonder what they'll say about you in your obituary." " I like that word." " Nothing nice, I don't think." "Andy:" "Oh, no, come on." "It'd say," ""Edith Minturn Sedgwick, beautiful artist and actress..."" "Edie:" ""And all-around loon."" "Andy: "Remembered for setting the world on fire..."" "Edie: "And escaping the clutches of her terrifying family."" "Andy: "Made friends with everybody and anybody..."" "Edie: "Creating chaos and uproar wherever she went." "Divorced as many times as she married, she leaves only good wishes behind."" "(laughs)" "That's nice, isn't it?" "Jonathan Sedgwick:" "Edie seemed to understand from the beginning her life was going to be short." "She was a blip on the radar suddenly." "It just blew out everybody." "You walk into a room and Edie was there." "Edie was what you saw." "Sam Green:" "There was something so vulnerable about Edie." "She was a person that everybody adored and kind of worshipped, but you knew that she was basically fragile." "George Plimpton:" "Time sort of stopped when you were with her." "She was an exquisite creature." "She had sort of a gamine look." "Very long legs, very pale face, very pale lips." "And a waif, in a way." "And I think probably the weakness of her showed there." "Gerard Malanga:" "Andy was very struck by her." "Andy would always invite somebody, to say," ""Would you want to be in one of my movies?"" "And of course, Edie took Andy very seriously on that." "Who was Edie Sedgwick?" "Edie Sedgwick was a combination of all the tragic women who came before her." "She looked great in front of a camera." "And she loved being in front of one." "Jonathan:" "Edie was taken advantage of, and hugely because she was so loving and trusting." "She was very trusting." "Sam:" "She looked into your eyes." "She listened to what you had to say." "She made you believe that you were the most important person to her or on the planet." "Nat Finkelstein:" "Yeah, I think Edie took on Andy as the father that she didn't have." "George:" "Everybody I know that really knew her wanted to save her." "That was one of the things..." "trying to keep her off drugs, trying to get her to pull her life together." "If you said "I love you," she just brightened up." "So you got an immediate response, and I think that's how she caught people really strongly." "She had her own sense of style, which no one had ever seen before." "She invented an entirely new look." "Richie:" "She inspired us all to want to take care of her." "But believe me, that was some job." "George:" "And of course, she had a terrible time with drugs and also the character that comes with that." "Endless searching through her bag to try to find a key or to try to find lipstick or whatever." "But still enchanting anyway."
