May (2002) - full transcript

When May was a child, she was a lonely girl with a lazy eye and without any friends except a weird and ugly doll kept in a glass case given by her bizarre mother on her birthday. May becomes a lonely, weird young woman, working in an animal hospital and assisting the veterinarian in surgeries and sewing operated animals most of the time. Her lesbian colleague Polly has a sort of attraction for her. When the shy May meets the mechanic Adam Stubbs, she loves his hands and has a crush on him. They date, but the weirdness and bizarre behavior of May pushes Adam away from her. Alone, May has a brief affair with Polly, but she feels rejected again when her colleague meets Ambrosia. When her doll is accidentally broken, the deranged May decides to build a friend for her, using the best parts her acquaintances can offer.

What's wrong with my eye, Mama?

The doctor says it's lazy.

But...

we're going to make you
look perfect.

It itches.

Do you want make friends?

Then keep it covered.

Are you a pirate?

Happy Birthday to you.

I've always said...



"If you can't find a friend...

make one."

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

Now it's ruined.

Her name is Suzie.

Suzie was the first doll
I ever made.

She was my best friend.

And now she'll be yours.

No, no, no, you can't take her out,
she's special.

What do you think
of my pirate patch?

I bet you're wondering
what I'm making.

Okay, I'll tell you.

I saw someone today.

A boy.



You know how
when you meet someone...

and you think you like them,

but then the more you talk to them
you see parts you don't like.

Like that guy on the bench.

And sometimes...

you don't end up liking
any parts at all.

But...

the boy I saw today
is different.

I like every part of him.

Especially his hands.

They're beautiful.

Don't be mad.

You've been my friend
my whole life.

And you see me,
you always have, but...

I need a real friend.

Someone I can hold.

I'm going to give you some
cardboard shades you can wear

over your regular glasses
until the dilation wears off.

Will my contacts be ready
by Friday?

Should be.

You look awfully excited.

I have a date.

You're sure my eye won't cross
with the contacts?

Positive.

The contacts will pull your good eye forward
just like your regular glasses.

Your lazy eye just needs
a little help.

I need all the help I can get.

This boy is perfect.

Oh, slick shades.

What the hell is a scupel?

Scalpel?

Your dog's going
to be fine, ma'am.

Scalpel!

Thanks for the heads up, doll.

Scupel.

Wait! Hold 'em up!

Moy, I need a big scupel
for German Shepard surgery tomorrow.

No forget it. You prep it up for me.

Hey, May, hold up.

I want to ask you something.

What are you going
to be for Halloween?

I've just been wracking my brains, you know,
trying to come up with something original.

Do you got any ideas?

You have a beautiful neck.

Thank you.

You should call me
one of these nights.

You know, we'll hang out and...

eat some melons or something.

Okay.

When I left for vacation,

my dog had four legs.

Okay?

Then I came back...

now... she only has three.

You know, I looked everywhere.
I can't find her leg.

What do I do?

May?

May, would you help
this gentleman?

You got to help me here, May.

I got a serious situation here, okay?

I got a dog,
it's missing a leg, okay?

I'm throwing it a stick
and nothing.

Nothing happens.

Hello?

Jesus, what are you doing?

Relaxing.

Doesn't it hurt?

No.

Ow!

You crazy bitch!

Why did you do that?!

Actually...

I kind of liked it.

Do me again.

It was in the rose bushes.

You can't just...

sew it back on...

can you?

I could.

Hello.

You can use me...

I mean, mine.

Thank you.

- What's your name?
- May.

Nice to meet you. I'm Adam.

You want to ah...
smoke a smoke with me?

You got to puff.

So, do you make
your own clothes?

Yes.

That's cool.

Thank you, Adam.

You're welcome, May.

I love your hands.

I think that they are beautiful.

I used to be a hand model.

- I could see you doing that.
- I'm kidding, May.

Whoa!

Oh!

Well...

Race cars.

What's that?

Oh...

yeah, yeah, my, uh...

girlfriend bought me these.

Anyway.

No, I meant my ah, my, ex-girlfriend...

bought them for me.

Practice.

I'll see you around, May.

"Hey, see you around, right?"

I'm so sorry that I...

tripped in front of you

at the coffee shop.

Maybe we could...

we could do something.

"See you around."

"See you around, right?"

Hello, happy!

Dr. Zarkizein needs you to do a...

fecosam, on the miscitta.

Does that make any sense to you?

Fecal exam on Miss Kitty.
No problem.

Oh, excuse me.

Hey!

What's up, May?

I was just about to...

about to have lunch.
Wow, you look great!

You hungry?

I will cut.

And you pick.

Good choice.

So what do you do, May?

I work at the animal hospital.

And I sew.

Okay. Animal hospital.

Some people think
it's kind of gross.

I love gross.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Disgust me, please.

Okay.

A couple of weeks ago,
this old man comes in

and says his dog is dying.

And he begs us to save it.

A 90-pound black Lab
named Seymour.

We take him in
and run some tests

and we find that he has
a twisted bowel.

And he needs
to be operated on immediately.

So, we shave Seymour's tummy,

we cut him open

and we take out a piece
of intestine about,

about the size of a hot-dog.

Everything went smooth,

but...

when we went to sew
Seymour back up,

we realized we were out
of the heavy sutures

that you're supposed to use
for large dogs.

So the doctor decided that,

if we tripled up on cat sutures
that should do the trick.

Well,

a few days go by

and the old man calls up

hysterical.

The cat sutures had burst
when he was at work.

And by the time he got home,

Seymour was sprawled out

on the back porch with his guts spread
all over the concrete.

And the fence was soaked in blood
all the way around the yard.

It was a mess.

I had to sew that one back up.

So, I guess your job
takes lots of guts.

Lots.

Why are those kids touching
everything like that?

They're blind kids.

They're from the day care center
around the block.

Oh, dang, I got to go.

There's an Argenta playing at the Beverly
in 15 minutes. I took the afternoon off.

They're showing "Trauma."

- Is that a movie?
- You've never seen "Trauma"?

Don't go.

What?

Nothing.

I should probably get back
to work, anyway.

Thank you for the um, sandwich...

and the cigarette.

I got to see this movie, but...

maybe I can
see you again sometime.

How about tonight?

I got this thing tonight, but...

- maybe after.
- Great!

All right.
I look forward to it, May.

You want to take it with you?

Thanks for the advice, doll.

So...

what were you doing to me
that day at the coffee shop?

I'm so embarrassed.

Why?

I've never had
a boyfriend before.

Do you like me, Adam?

Sure, I do.

You don't think I'm weird?

I do think you're weird.

- I knew that.
- I like weird.

I like weird a lot.

You are perfect, aren't you?

Nobody's perfect.

You're perfect.

You want to see my room?

Does this stuff freak you out?

Nothing freaks me out.

That's right, it wouldn't,
would it?

You're on to me.

I'm a psycho.

Got you.

It's pretty cool, huh?

Whoa! Jesus Christ!

Who taught you how to kiss?

Suzie.

Who taught you how to kiss?!

Ah!

What's the haps, doll?

What happened to your hand?

Scupel.

You're funny.

You want to watch me file?

Hey.

We got the whole place
to ourselves.

Let's dance.

Listen, they're serenading us.

Oh, we have to dance now.

Oh.

Please, please, please.

Please.

So, are you going
to dance with me or what?

- Do you like pussy?
- What?!

Cats?

Do you like pussycats?

Jeez, you're a nasty
little thing, aren't you?

Do you like Lupe?

My landlady's a real bitch.

I have to get rid of her.

Your landlady?

No, dummy, the cat.

You're her only hope.

Oh, come on. Lupe will keep you
company when you're all alone.

Besides,

she'll remind you of me.

- Okay.
- Wonderful!

Look at the time.

I have to go.

It's girls' night out tonight.

You want to come?

I know.

You need your beauty rest.

Not much of it, though.

Please leave a message
after the scream.

Hello, Adam, this is May.

I was just wondering
if you would like to be together again...

Get together again sometime.

I had such a good time last night.

742-5663, that's my number.

Call me.

Anytime.

I look forward
to seeing you again.

Whoa! Jesus Christ!

May, you scared the hell out of me!
What are you doing out here?

Nothing.

How long have you been
standing out here?

Since about 2:00.

You haven't really been standing out here
for two hours, have you?

What do you think?

Look, I got your message.

I'm sorry I haven't called you back.
I've been really busy with this movie.

You made a movie?

In college before I dropped out.
I just finished putting it together.

Can I see it?

I'll make you macaroni and cheese.

Go to a movie, huh?

Sounds like a date.

I dig your place.

It's really...

neat.

Is this Gatorade?

Cool.

You'll never believe
what I had to do at work today.

You ready?

Roll 'em.

So?

What did you think?

It was sweet.

It was sweet?

I don't think...

that she could have gotten his
whole finger in one bite, though.

That part was kind
of far-fetched.

Okay, okay, breathe.

Oh, God damn it!

What the fuck is that?

- Oh, fuck, I'm bleeding.
- I know.

May, what are you doing?

Please, okay, I need a towel.

I think... I think I'm gonna, go.

What?

I'll... I'll see you around.

But it's just like your movie.

May, this is weird.

You like weird.

Not that weird.

I told you to face
the goddamn wall!

Oops! It fall down. Moy, you help me.

Doctor, this delivery guy is
insisting that you sign for this.

I'm in surgery, Polly, please!

Yeah, yeah, that's good.
Kitty live now.

- What are you doing?
- What?

Take it outside, man.

So, what's up, bro'?
What do you think?

Fuck, she's pretty.

- I don't think she's playing with a full deck.
- That's not what you wanted to play with.

True.

At least you know
she's not out of her mind.

You know what, we're not talking about May anymore.
I've successfully escaped that lunatic.

Who's May?

Some weird chick
Adam just dumped.

How's your lip?

Stow it, all right?
Would you, please?

I see. May I?

So what if she likes your hands?

- Just keep them away from her face.
- You're a prick, you know that?

- Yeah, do some more pushups.
- Fuck you.

What's up, doll? This is Polly.

I'm just sitting here
in my nightie.

I wanted to know
how my little puss-puss was.

Come on over
if you get this, okay?

What's giving you
the sads, doll?

Oh.

No frumpy faces allowed
in this place.

I wanted to kiss you
since I first saw you.

Is this what was bugging you?

I wasn't bugged.

Just angry at someone.

Not me, I hope.

No, not you.

Do you feel weird doing this?

I am weird.

I love weird.

Are you serious?

Yeah.

About me?

Dead.

Can you help us with something?

I... um...

saw some kids playing in the park

and I was wondering if I could
volunteer to help watch them.

Well what kind of kids were they?
Retarded, deaf, crippled, dumb?

They were blind.

- So you want to work at the day care center?
- Would it be the same kids?

What's the difference?
You only like a certain type of blind kids?

May Kennedy? Lucille.

Let's introduce you to the kids.

Do you think
I could meet her first?

Who, Petey? We can try.

She usually likes being left alone.

Nobody likes to be alone.

Hey, Petey, I got someone here
who wants to meet you.

Go away, sniggel-head.

You are so mean to me, Petey.

Good luck.

What are you making, Petey?

Ashtray.

You smoke?

No.

Then who are you making
the ash tray for, Petey?

You smoke.

Yes, I do.

Then you can have it
when I'm done.

How you doing, May?

Great, actually.

Making new friends.

Right and left.

Lovely.

Lupe,

this is Adam.

Cute.

How are you doing?

Aw, man, this...

thing is broke. I'm gonna have to go
down to the Fluff and Fold.

Call me sometime?

Yeah, sure.
I'll see you around, May.

May!

What's up?

Who is it, Polly?

Who is that?

An opportunity
I just couldn't pass up.

Oh.

You want to join us?

Well, then can we do
something tomorrow, May?

I got to hit this.

I don't understand.

You're jealous!

- What's going on out there?
- Shut up, hooker!

Oh, May, look.

I can kick her out
if you really want me to.

You know you're my main mama.

Come here, Lup. Come here.

Come on.

Come on, girl, it's been
a really rough couple of days.

Shut up!

Thank you.

Hello?

- Is Adam there?
- Hey, what's up?

Not much.

How did you know it was me?

Hello?

Who is this?

May, silly.

What are you doing tonight?

Hello?

Why?

I was just thinking we could
get together and do something.

I have plans.

Oh.

Quiet!

Hello? Who are you talking to?

What about tomorrow night?

Maybe.

Maybe?

Okay, what time? I'll wait.

Don't do that.

No, no, no. It's okay.
I'll wait.

I got to go, May.

Okay. Well, I'll talk to you
tomorrow then.

Goodbye, May.

I hate you.

Who can tell me what this is?

We don't know, May, what is it?

Petey, come here and see
if you can figure it out.

I don't know.

Come on, Petey,
you can try harder than that.

I don't know.

All right,
I'll tell you what it is.

What, what is it?

This is my best friend.

My best friend.

And I didn't even realize it
until just last night.

It's just a box.

- Her friend must be inside.
- That's very good, Deirdre.

Take it out.

I can't.

- Why not?
- I just can't.

Come on, May, let it out.
We want to meet your friend.

No, I...

I can't. I can't, she's special,
she doesn't come out.

She always stays in.
She's very fragile.

Petey.

Stop it!

- She's out!
- No!

- The floor!
- Glass!

Don't!

This is May Kennedy.

Please leave your numbers.

Hello. Where are you, doll?

I think Dr. Zarkizein is upset.

Either that or he has a kidney infection.
I'm not sure.

Either way, you need to get
your cute butt in here.

You've missed two days in a row.
Are you all right?

I miss you. Kisses.

Call me, okay?

Ah.

Oh, Lupe.

I'll miss petting your pretty fur.

Are you okay?

So many pretty parts
and no pretty holes.

No shit. What's your name?

It doesn't matter.

Hey, you want to go get
some Jujubes with me?

What's the point?

I'm just trying to be friendly.

Sorry.

Hmm...

Shit, man,
I can live off of these.

Wow.

It's getting hella hot.

You mind if I take off my shirt?

- Do what you want.
- All right.

I love your tattoo.

Thanks.

Ah.

Fuck! I'm still burning up.

Do you have any ice cubes
I can rub on my nipples?

Freeze!

That's the idea.

Stop!

What the fuck is that?

- A friend.
- Whoa.

This is some sick shit.

So...

are we like best friends now, that
you've seen what's inside my freezer?

You fucking freak.

I'm not going to be your friend.

I need more parts.

Hey, May.

Hey, dude, what's up?

Not much.

What are you reading about?

Amputation.

- Is that for work?
- Nope.

It's just for fun.

Listen, May,

I'm sorry things didn't
work out for us.

L... you know.
It just didn't feel right.

It doesn't feel, right, you know?

I understand now...

Adam.

I understand.

Friends?

Okay. All right, um...

I really have to go.

Later hands.

Right. All right.
See you around.

How's Lupe?

- In pieces.
- Is she sad about something?

She does get depressed.

- She doesn't seem happy.
- Oh.

Can I ask what you're doing?

I want to make...

a blouse for you.

Kind of an apology present
for the other night and my behavior.

Oh, May, that is so sweet.

Polly, are you back there, sweetie?

Back here.

Did you bring my lunch?

Oh...

Who's that?

May, I would like you to meet
a new friend of mine.

Her name's Ambrosia.

Nice gams.

Aren't they?

Can I get a few more measurements?

Have you ever thought
about having this removed?

My grandma said it's imperfections
that make you special.

What do you think?

Freak.

Hello, Polly, this is May.
Happy Halloween.

I was thinking about popping by later
to bring you your new blouse.

Show you my costume.

Give me a call if that's cool.
Miss you.

Kisses. Call me, okay?

If you can't find a friend...

make one.

Hello, May.

Hello, Polly.

Slick duds.

Thank you.

I was going to call you tonight,
but...

I've been so busy.

What are you doing right now?

Nothing.

I'm starting to understand what the
doctor's saying 20% of the time now.

It's funny because I always thought
it was the doctor's writing

that was supposed
to be incomprehensible.

Maybe it's different
with animal doctors.

Ah, that's better.

Are you expecting someone?

Did you forget my blouse?

No?!

You're not sore about me
and Ambrosia, are you?

I'm not sore.

You understand
it's not serious, right?

It's just a piece of ass.

Whoa!

Whoa.

Oh, please don't hurt me, May.

Pleasey-please.

I trust you.

I know you would
never hurt me, May.

What are you doing here?

Where's Polly?

In the head.

Polly, hurry up in there! I've been drinking vodka
all night and I have to piss like a racehorse!

You have really beautiful legs.

I thought they were gams?

Gams, stems, wheels, whatever.

Give us a little spin, doll.

Huh?

Turn around for me.

You are so fucking weird.

I don't know
what Polly sees in you.

Polly doesn't see anything.

Turn around, Miss Grable.

Okay, doll.

How was that?

Beautiful.

Sweet costume.

You got any cold ones in there?

Yes, I do.

What are you doing here?

Hello. Anyone home?

I need them, Adam.

Listen, sister,
Adam's taken for the evening.

I like your earrings.

Thanks.

Nice costume.

Thank you, I made it myself.

Just like one
of your movies, Adam.

May...

what are you doing here?

This is May?

Do you want to come in
for a drink or something?

Thank you.

You should have called.

Would you have answered?

If I was home, yes.

Doesn't matter.
I didn't come here to see you.

Vodka okay?

Sounds great.

Did something happen?

Touch me.

Touch my face.

Go on, Adam, touch my face.

- Stop that!
- These hands are mine now, honey.

No, they are mine, quagledoo.

Fuck you. What is that,
Russian or something?

Touch my face.

Yeah, fucking go on, asshole.
Fucking touch away, I don't give a shit.

Um...

Okay, I'm... pretty drunk, and I'm feeling
queasy and I just... wish you would leave.

- Fine, you know what, I'm out of here.
- Not you, dumbshit.

Dumbshit?

I guess that would be me.

You're not going to touch
my face?

Fine, I'll touch your face.

You're going to look perfect.

You have all of the parts.

Words can't describe.

But I don't have
to talk to you, do I?

I can just...

feel.

And you'll feel it right here, too.

Right.

You can't see me.

Can't see me.

See me!

All I want...

is...

see me.

What...
