Ponyboi (2019) - full transcript

I keep having this dream

that I'm driving down the highway
in a white Mustang.

I'm with this man dressed in white,

and we're going down the shore

to Point Pleasant.

I need you bad, I need some help

Can't you feel, I'm breaking down

I need your love

Please, baby, please

Shoo-whop

Your love is taking me over



Can't control, I'm losing it...

In this dream,

I am both who I am

and who I want to be.

But...

it's just a dream.

Hey, can we...

can we try something else?

Okay.

Like that.

- Hey.
- Hey, baba.

Thank you so much.

You can come back any time.

Now I don't mean to diss you



I'd like to be your mister

I miss ya, I kiss ya

What a herb.

I just rolled a blunt.
You wanna go smoke it?

Yeah, I'm cutting back.

What?

- Since when?
- Since right now.

Okay.

Damn. - You look hot.

Thank you.

Vinny's taking me to Red Lobster.

How fancy.

Those don't match.

Hey. - Hey.

- Hey, hey, drop the socks.
- What?

Drop the socks.

You're gonna find somebody.

Not one of these fuckboy riffraffs

that comes crawling up in here all sweaty.

No, not one of those.

Not one of those sweaty guys.

You're gonna find someone
that treats you like a queen.

You think so?

I do.

By the tip of these French tips.

There we go.

You know, I just hope he's
as good a man as Vinny,

'cause that man...

he's got a cock like this.

And you know, I've seen him
put up a TV in under,

like, 20 seconds, I swear to God.

What's up, ladies?

Hey... Oh, shit.

Girl, you look sexy as fuck.

- Turn around.
- Oh, you like it?

- Oh, I like it.
- You like it?

- So fucking fine.
- Special for you.

Mm. - Mm, mm.

Mm, mm.

- Oh.
- Happy Valentine's Day.

You're so sweet.

- You're just the sweetest.
- Mm, I am.

You're like a butterscotch.

Mm!

Ready to go?

- Let's go.
- Um... yeah.

Let me just get my coat.

- Okay, okay.
- All right, babe.

'Sup, Ponyboi?

Did you get my chocolates?

Your Russell Stovers?

You really know how to treat a girl, Vinny.

Oh, you know I treat my bitches right.

I ain't your bitch.

Oh... my bad.

That's right.

You're my princess, Ponyboi.

My Little Pony

- Stop.
- My Little Pony...

All right, baby, I'm ready.

All right, let's go.

- Let's do this.
- I'm ready

for all that shrimp...

endless shrimp, shrimp.

Oh, honey?

Can you finish, 'cause I gotta...

Yep.

Thank you.

- All you can eat, baby.
- Mm.

You walk like that on purpose for me

- Yeah.
- - Mm-hmm.

All right, all right.
Come on, let's go.

Your body aches from a pain
you can't explain

I wish I could be the change

But you need somebody brave

Your mind, it wanders like a bird

Without its wings,
if I could give you anything

Just a free-falling grace

Just keep your head up

Even when there's too much weight

Go each time, don't wait for fate

You know I could do you wrong

That's my fault, I'm a stupid one

Hi.

Howdy.

Can I help you?

I can manage.

Thanks.

Okay, well, you know,
if you need anything, I'm...

here.

Sweet car you got out there.

Thanks, Ponyboi.

How do you know my name?

Oh, right.

I'm Bruce.

Like Springsteen

You a fan

Every Jersey girl is.

Tell you what.

There is something you could do for me.

My buddy, Phil, referred me.

Thought I might have a little fun

before I head to Vegas tomorrow.

Oh.

Phil's a good guy.

You ever been to Vegas?

Mm, no, but...

I've always wanted to go, um,

if I ever got married,
on my honeymoon or something.

I know it's a stupid dream.

No.

I'm a sucker for
those pretty lights myself.

So, um, what do you say...

Ponyboi

Sorry.

It's a bit of a shit show in here.

I like it.

Very...

you.

What's the deal with that name

I know your mama didn't name you Ponyboi.

No, um...

my daddy did.

And how'd he ever come up with that?

Well, when I was little, I...

hated going to the doctor's.

And I loved ponies,
so whenever I went with my dad,

he said if I was a good boy,
he'd get me a pony.

And did he ever get you one?

No, but, um...

we'd go to the boardwalk arcade,

and we'd win knockoff My Little Ponies.

Over there.

That's quite a collection you got there.

Why were you at the doctor's so much?

I guess I was...
born a little different.

That's okay.

I like that you're different.

Want some music?

You know, I've seen you before.

Oh, yeah?

In a dream.

You're crazy.

I'm serious.

Hmm.

I feel like a prom queen.

Imagine us...

rolling up in that white Mustang of yours.

Oh, that old thing.

I love that old thing.

It's yours if you want it.

Don't fuck with me.

You can have whatever you want.

You just have to think you deserve it.

What do you want, Ponyboi?

Too many nights...

The doctor's gonna help you be a man.

- Don't you wanna be a man
- No!

12-year-old intersex male.

He needs surgical intervention.

We'll always be in love

Don't fear

Too young to feel this way

Too young to run away

Too young

My Little Pony!

Hey.

You good?

Oh, yeah.

I am better than ever.

You fucking reek.

You know you like it.

Where's Angel?

I dropped her off at my place.

Puked at Red Lobster.

What the fuck?

She's, uh...

she's pregnant.

What? - Mm.

Looks like I'm gonna be a daddy.

You know you want Daddy's dick.

S... st...

Where you going?

"Ponyboi,

"meet me at the boardwalk.

Yours, Bruce."

Baby, baby, baby, I'm sorry.

W-wait, where you going?

Get the fuck off me.

No, what, are you just gonna run away again?

Get the fuck off me!

You won't last a second out there

before you start
sucking dicks in bathrooms.

You know why 'cause that's all you're

fucking good for.

Well, you're just a closeted fucking loser.

And you're gonna
be a terrible fucking father.

I don't know whether to fuck you...

like a bitch...

or a faggot.

There she goes

Under the sun

Some question there...

Roll her eyes

Blonde, your hair

Fake eyelashes

It's a whisper

It's just a whisper

It's just a whisper

In the

Holding pattern

We liked to call

Our lies

Perfectly content

With our chaos

It's all golden

Golden, golden
