Molly (1999) - full transcript

It's my boat.

When I get it fixed up.
It's 1964.

It's got a mahogany hull.

It's a racing class.

God, this place is
really depressing.

No wonder they're
closing it down.

My, um...

My sister's here.

Molly.

Ya.

So...



Are you picking up
a relative?

Excuse me?

Mr. McKay?Yes.

I'm Dr. Prentice.

We were beginning
to think that maybe
you wouldn't show.

The other patients
left days ago.

Yeah, well,
I've been kind of busy.

Is he okay?

He's been very
happy here, Mr. McKay.

Yeah, I guess ignorance
is bliss, right?

Of course, everyone is
a little agitated about
having to leave.

An orderly
will be bringing
Molly down shortly.

However, I thought
we might have
a little chat first.

Yeah. Sure.



Hello, Domingo.

I think he
was singing the
same song then.

We still know
very little about
Molly's condition.

Every patient's unique.

The way she relates
to certain people,

even on an
emotional level,

suggests mental retardation.

In other respects,
she's autistic.

But over the years
she's become quite
high functioning.

Which is why,
with a little help,

she should be able
to adjust to life outside
an institution like this.

She even has minor
savant-like talents.

I know.
She recites stuff verbatim.
She's Dustin Hoffman.

But the fact is,
she's pretty much
non-functional, right?

In recent years, Mr. McKay,

you haven't spent
much time with Molly.

So, what I need to know
are her basic needs
and how to affect them

so that she can
be comfortable,
and I...

Can have a life.

Thank you.

I've copied out
the daily routine that Molly
feels most comfortable with.

That routine
is very important
for Molly.

We'll be monitoring
her progress
on a daily basis,

at least,
the next few weeks.

You need to remember that,
like many autistic people,

Molly has very
acute hearing.

Loud noises
can be extremely
painful to her.

Hi, Molly.

Molly, do you
remember Buck?

Your brother?

No.

Don't you remember
last Christmas, Moll?

I took you out
for a walk.

No.

Well, I guess
we should go, then.

Come on, let's go.
Off we go.

No!

Mr. McKay, let her go.

May I speak with Molly?

Alone? For a minute?

May I?

Molly, come here.

Who is this guy?

Sam's been with us
the past couple
of years.

He has a severe
learning disability.

He communicates
with Molly on a level
I don't fully understand.

He's sort of
her interpreter.

Her guardian angel.

Thank you
for your help.

Bliss, Mr. McKay.

Don't hesitate to call.

This is home, Moll.

Hi. It's Jennifer.Look at this, Moll.

I'm gonna bring
round those comps
for tomorrow

but I'm gonna
be working late...

Lights. So I don't know
what time I'll get there.

Big kiss!

Molly wet.

Wet!

What's wet?

Pants! Molly wet pants.

Dr. Prentice,
you didn't tell me she was
still wetting herself.

This was not part
of the deal.

It's a reaction
to the breaking
of her routine.

Well, how long
is this reaction
going to go on?

The sooner
she settles down,

the sooner this
sort of thing will stop.

Thanks.

For crying out loud.
Come on. Okay, um...

So, are you gonna
take 'em off?

No.

Okay, what am
I supposed to do here?

Um...

Okay.

Molly? Come on.

Molly...

Gotcha. Here it is.

Okay. Hold on
for a second, okay?

Moll, you hungry?

Yes, Molly hungry.

You like pizza?

Molly like peas.

No, not peas. Pizza.

Peas!

No. Pizza.

See?

Pi-i-za.

Peas.

Whatever.

Peas! Peas!

Molly, be quiet.

Okay, now what
time does the
presentation start?

Shit.Shit!

I thought it was 10f30.

Prescott told me
it was 10:30.

What time does
day care open?

All right.
I'll see you tomorrow.
All right? Bye.

Pizza.

Starch, modified flour,

mononitrates,
disodium insonate,

tumeric, disodium guanylate.

I've been eating that?

Come on, Molly.
Buck's late.

Buck's late.
Buck's late.

Moll, careful.
It's slippery.

Come on, Molly!

Hi. Are you the person
in charge here?

Yes. Joyce Leslie.

Joyce! Right.
I'm Buck McKay,
16th floor.

My assistant, Brenda,
called you about
enrolling Molly.

Yes, of course.
Is Molly here?

Yeah. She's right here.

She's got her bag
and if you need anything,
you have my number.

Okay then. Bye, Moll.

Mr. McKay, is this
some sort of a joke?

Mr. McKay?

Yes?

Is this a joke?

No.

This is not a child,
Mr. McKay.

I know.

Yeah, but she has
the mind of a child.

Mr. McKay, we're just not
equipped to handle Molly.

I'm sorry. Good-bye.

Sorry.

Molly, Molly. No!

Molly, no.

Bite me.

You're late, Mr. McKay.

Buck late.I know.

Miss Duffy,
this is my sister, Molly.

Can she sit here,
while I...

Come on,
sit down here.
Come on. Sit down.

Okay. Thank you.

Molly. Sit down.

I'm gonna be
right in there, okay?
You wait for me.

There's nothing
new in the juxtaposition
of contrary images.

But in this campaign,

the hula girl
and the Eskimo,

the luau and the igloo,

give us unique
comic possibilities
for years to come.

Now that he's deigned
to join us, let me
introduce Buck McKay.

Buck.

Excuse me.
May I help you?

Molly hot.

Hot.

Hot.

The follow-up campaign
reverses the situation,

and plants
our favorite igloo,

smack in the middle
of Redondo Beach.

Polar Pete,
of course, has got
his best baggies on.

The wife, Hula's,
got great bikini range.

Possibilities here
for infinite varieties.

You could have
a different swimsuit
for every beach.

East and west
of Waimea Bay.

Out they come,
Polar Pete and...

Molly hot, Buck.

What's going on here?

What happened?
I was in...Don't talk.

Just get her dressed.
Molly hungry?

Peas-a.

Bren?
You go take her
out for pizza,

and then take her
to my place.

Molly, I'll be there
as soon as I can, okay?

My God.

Good morning, Sharon.

Good morning, Buck.

Georgia.

What's up?

Big trouble.What happened?

The ice cream account
went to Beresford and Weir.

Prescott wants to see you.

Great.

I put these in
the cupboard...

No!

Mr. McKay.

Mr. McKay, I...It doesn't mean
anything, Carmen.

I don't know
what's wrong with her.

Did you talk to
your sister about
babysitting Molly?

I don't think
she would do it.

Know what you mean.

Sorry, Bren.

Hey, it's okay.

Hi, Molly.Hi, Molly.

How was it?Fine.

We watched the
"flying monkey" scene
from The Wizard of Oz

like six times.

It's one
of her favorites.
Thanks for this.

I'm gonna miss you.

You're a good boss.

You're a good liar.

Okay.
Bye, Molly.

Bye, Molly.

Well,
I guess this is it.

See you later.

So I talked
to this guy.

He's one of our sponsors,
and he's fine with you
workin' at home.

Writing copy...

I don't want to work
part-time at home.
I want to get out.

I understand that,
but in the meantime,
this will tide you over.

I'm living like a hermit.

And when I do go out,
I feel guilty.

It's okay.

Ooh, Molly, dog.

Look at his eyes,
Molly. Nice dog.

Molly.
They're toys.
They're toys.

They're not real.
it's okay.

All she does
is channel-surf.

Or she lines up
her shoes.

Yeah, it's like living
with Imelda Marcos.

And she knows.
She's not completely
out of it.

She knows
I'm goin' stir crazy.

Moll.

Got a surprise for you.

Molly.

Got a visitor.

Hey, Moll.Hi.

Hi.

I'll leave you to it.

She was reading to me.

Robinson Crusoe.

Be great
if she had any idea
what it was about.

You'd be surprised,
Mr. McKay.

Look, I got a job.

At the Kerrans Institute.

Yeah?

Yes. Dr. Prentice,
he got me the job,

and actually,

he's been calling up,
asking...

Well, recommending
Molly for one
of their new programs.

Yeah. Yeah.

Really?
That sounds good.

I mean,
it would be up
to you, of course,

but, if they...

Well, if they
found her suitable,

they'd take her
off your hands.

For a while, anyway.

I know.

It's hard, Mr. McKay.

Anyway, it's a little bit
self-serving for me.

I have a
learning disability.

Maybe because of that,

we're kind of on
the same wavelength.

When she reads to me,

I see the words.

Right here in front of me.

It's a real person
in there, Mr. McKay.

And she wants to come out.

Mr. McKay?Yes.

I'm Dr. Brookes.

Hello.Hi.

Hello, Molly.

Hello, Molly.

I've discussed Molly's
history in great detail
with Dr. Prentice.

Right. He said
that she was an ideal
candidate for this.

Well, we need to determine
that now with our own
series of tests.

You know, Dr. Brookes,
Molly has some
extraordinary talents.

The tests actually include
a series of PET scans
of Molly's brain,

so, I have some
forms that I need
you to fill out.

Sure.

We make a tiny incision
in the skull, right here.

Using a probe,
we transplant

a set of genetically
re-engineered cells,

hopefully restoring
the dormant area of the brain
to partial utilization.

Will she be able
to look after herself
on her own, for example?

That's a
definite possibility.

But there's always a risk
in any operation

and with the brain
those risks involve

stroke, paralysis,
motor functions.

They're rare,
but they do happen.

How rare?

In perhaps six percent
of the cases.

Six percent?

This has gotten
way out of hand.

I mean, I may be
a selfish schmuck,
but you're my sister.

Selfish schmuck.

This is a life-or-death
issue, Moll.

I mean, you're happy
some of the time,
aren't you?

No!

Am I just wanting
this for myself...

...'cause I'm a little
inconvenienced?

But it would give you
a chance to have
a better life.

Hi, Susan.

Hi, Molly.

You can undress
behind the screen.

I don't know. Know what I mean?

There he is.
Hey, man.
What's the word?

Still operating.

How are you?

So, we're just gonna
hang out here.

You're
gonna stay here?

Everything all right?

Yeah, she's fine.

How you doin'?

Ouch?

Dr. Brookes!
Dr. Brookes!

What's happening?
What's goin' on?

Lorezepam, phenytoin,
two and one.

Got it.

Mr. McKay,
get out of here, please.

ank you.

Lita, I want
Dr. Simmons in here.

Dr. Simmons, ICU, stat. Okay, that's it.

That's it.

It's okay, Molly.
It's gonna be okay.

I just got off work.

She had some kind
of seizure.

Yeah, I heard.

But it's gonna be okay.

What makes you so sure?

Mr. McKay, sometimes,

I have a sense of things.

And I feel
something extraordinary
is going to happen.

Mr. McKay?

She's resting now.

We have no idea what
caused that reaction.

We almost lost her,
didn't we?

She's all right now.

She could have died, right?

I'm not going to
sleep with you.

I'm not planning
on either of us
getting much sleep.

And I'm certainly
not going to sleep
in that bed.

Not without giving
the mattress
a good airing first.

Hi.Hello.

You can ask Fiona.

All right, I will.

Fiona!

Molly, are you ready
for more tests?

No.

Our projections show

that the red dot
should now be about
the size of a dime.

I'm afraid the grafted
cells didn't take.

So, what happens next?

In a few weeks,
we'd like to try again,

in a slightly
different location.

Are you serious?

Yes.

After what happened
last time?

Buck, we're breaking
new ground here.

We learned so much
from that last procedure.

Yeah, by drilling
into people's heads
like they're lab rats.

My sister
nearly died.

I am not going
to let her go through
something like that again.

Goddamn son of a bitch.

Son of a bitch!

Damn son of a bitch!

Damn son of a bitch!

Son of a bitch!Son of a bitch!

Molly cold.

Yeah, I know
you're cold, Molly.

Molly cold.

Yeah, Molly,
I know that you're cold,

but the car
won't start, okay?Molly cold!

Would you shut up?
Shut up, Molly!Molly cold! No!

Just... Goddamn it!
I didn't ask for this!

I didn't ask for you!
So shut up!

No.

No.

No!

I'm sorry, Moll.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Nothing good on,
Moll?

Nothing good on?

Let's go for a ride.

Want to go for a ride?

No!

"There is nothing wrong
with your television set.

"Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

"We are controlling
transmission.

"You are about
to experience the awe

"and mystery which reaches
from the inner mind

"to the outer limits."

What do you think?

Looks like the Milky Way
just fell out of the sky.

Moll?

Four million,
eight hundred thousand,

three hundred and two.

What?

Stars.

Here it is.
The list.

The list.

Can you say,
"The list"?No.

It's okay.
You don't have to.
Okay. The plan is,

while I look for a job,
you will become
self-sufficient.

Cool?

No. Hot!

Yeah, okay. This is
a list of things you need
to learn. Understand?

No.Good.

Now, as you can see
I've divided it
into the basics.

We have personal hygiene,
recreation and eating.

Now, every time
you complete a task,

we put a check mark
in the box beside it.
You see?

No!

Now, when you get
all the boxes checked,

you get to take a trip
in Buck's boat!

Let's try it. Okay.

Um, what is your name?

Molly!

That is fabulous.

See, now,
I'm making a big
red check mark

in the box beside,
"Says name when asked."

Okay, next.
Um, where do you live?

Here!Absolutely correct.

But you need to learn
your actual address
to get a check mark.

Tying shoes?
That's getting
a little ahead. No...

Yes! Tie shoes.

All right,
tying shoes it is.

Okay.
You take the two ends

and make
the incredibly difficult

and death-defying
overhand knot.

Molly try.

Molly?

Right, you make the loop.
Good.

What do you do after that?

You go around the loop.

Remember,
nobody's ever done
this on the first try.

Okay, try again.
Try again.

Okay,
what do we do first?

We'll try again
tomorrow, okay?

No.

You go to bed.
Sleep tight.

Now, jump!

Mr. McKay!

Go on, dance.

Go on.

Molly!

Molly.

Holy shit.

My name is Molly McKay.

I live at
200 Mildred Avenue,

Venice,
California 90291!

If you look over
to the last image,
that's present.

And we had no idea
there'd be that amount
of cell growth.

...three!

I think
it's going to rain.

Yes, it's getting darker
by the minute.

Yes, it's getting
darker by the minute.

Was that
a flash of lightning?

Was that a flash
of...

...lightning?

Flash of lightning.

Lightning.

"But I needed none
of all this precaution,

"for never man
had a more faithful,
loving, sincere servant

"than Friday was to me.

"Without passion,
sullenness, or designs,

"perfectly obliged
and engaged,

"his very affections
were tied to me,

"like those of
a child to a father,

"and I daresay
he would have
sacrificed his life

"for the saving of mine
on any occasion whatsoever."

Hello, Buck.

Why do they
put died people
in the ground?

Dead people.

Dead people.

It's a religious ritual.

There are a lot of
people in the world.

Yeah.

Well, if they all die,
then eventually the world's
gonna be one big cemetery.

That's a good point.

Some people
are cremated.

Cremated?

Burned

They're dead.
It doesn't hurt.

How do you know?

That's a good question.

I wish I knew
what they were like.

Yeah,
but they say they're
in a better place now.

The ground is not
a better place, Buck.

You know, before,
I lived in a hospital...

Well, it was
more like a home.

Yeah, for people like me.

And you waited
until you had room,

and then you came
to get me?

Yeah.

You see,

the home
got its money
from the government.

And one day,
the government

just decided to
close it down.

Do you think
they can feel us
lying on them?

Maybe.

I'm really glad
we're getting out.

Yeah!Yeah.

I'm changing.

I have all these
emotions that I don't
really understand.

There's some things
that I wanted to
talk to you about.

What things?

Well, I'm getting
smarter by the minute.

That's nothing
to worry about.

Yeah. I'm reading
a lot of books.

That's a good thing!

My vocabulary is
growing exponentially.

Good word!

Thank you.

What's a blow job?

A reminder,
Dodger fans,

next Wednesday
is family night...Right here.

So plan on being here.

As your Los Angeles Dodgers
continue their quest for the
Western Division title.

Hey, batter,
batter, batter! Swing!

Yeah!

Go, Dodgers!

Go, Dodgers!

Whoo! Whoo!Whoo!

Come on, baby.

Come on, baby.

Yeah! High inside.

High inside.

Hey, you hungry?Yes.

All right.
Stay here and
watch the game.

Wait! I don't
understand the game yet.

Okay.
See that guy there?-

He throws the ball
at a guy right there...-

Who tries to
hit it with the bat.The bat.

If he does,
he has to
run to the base

before those guys
can throw the ball
to the base.

And if he touches the base
before the ball arrives,
he's safe.

Safe?Safe.

Safe from what?

From being out.

Out of what?

I'll explain
when I get back.

It's a weird game, Buck,
but I like it!

Yes!

Go, baby!

Safe!

You dumb shit, ump!
He was out by a mile!

Sit down!

The man
dropped the ball.

What, have you
got binoculars
on your eyes?

No.What are you,
some kind of retard?

I'm an irregular retard.
And you?

Wiseass.

A wiseass retard.
I'm not familiar with that.

What's going on?

Having a disagreement
with that wiseass retard.

Look at 'em go.

Man, I wish I could hear
what they were saying.

Come on,
what's goin' on?

Who are you? Ray Charles?

He was out by 10 feet.

"He was out by ten feet."

He dropped
the ball, dick nose.

"He dropped the ball,
dick nose!"

He dropped the ball.Get outta my face.

"Get outta my face!"

"No, you get
outta my face."

Your breath smells
like the shithouse door
on a tuna boat.

"Your breath smells
like the shithouse door
on a tuna boat."

My God!

This is the best part
of the game so far.

That was
a great game.

Will you take me again?

Absolutely.

You're the best brother
in the whole world.

I'd like to wake up
with you in the morning.

Feel the stubble
on your chin,

your hot breath
on my cheek...Molly!

What?

We're brother and sister.

So?

We'll talk about it later.

Brothers and sisters
can't get married.

Why not?

'Cause that's the way
that things are.

Why?

There are
scientific reasons.

People with
the same genes
can't mix them.

We don't have
the same jeans.

I don't even wear jeans.

It's...
It's a different meaning.

It's G-E-N-E-S.
It's a different spelling.

I know about them.

Genes provide
the blueprint for
what organisms become.

Where did you
get that from?

I read a lot of
scientific books.

Like Jackie Collins.

So what can brothers
and sisters do

if they like
each other a lot?

They can be friends.

For life.

That's all?

That's a lot.

How come we weren't
friends before?

I guess we didn't
know each other that well.

You wanna dance?

No. This is not
a place where you dance.

Yes, it is.

Molly...

Molly, sit down.

Come on.

Molly...

Come on, sit down.

Race you
to the door!

Hey!
I'm right behind you!

Be careful!

I won!

Hi, Molly.Hey, Jim.

Mr. McKay, Dr. Brookes
wanted to see you in her
office when you got in.

Thanks, Jim.

You cheated.

I did not cheat.

Good night.Good night.

Hi.

She's supposed to
be in bed by 8:00.

We got sidetracked.
She asked me to marry her.

What did you say?

No.

Stop it, Buck.
Okay? Please.
This isn't funny.

No. It's the first time
anybody's gone through
something like this,

and we have no idea
how she's gonna react
to all this stimuli.

We just have to
take things very slowly.

I'm sorry.

She's wonderful.

I want to thank you for...

...giving her to me.

Thank you.

For the first time
in my life I feel

kind of blessed,
I guess.

Thank you.

You haven't said
how it was today.

I don't know
how much she remembers.

Well, ask her.

So that gives a complete
analysis of the components
of the blood, right?

That's right.

Where did you
find out about this?

I have all these books
up here.

Now when I play them back,
I can finally understand them.

How do you mean,
"Play them back"?

They're like videos.

Where did you read
all these books?
At the home?

Every book on
Dr. Prentice's shelf.

So, did you have
a nice time with Buck
last night?

Yes, I did.

Thanks.

The old room 306.

Hello, Lauris.

Whatever are you
doing here, James?

What do you think
he's doing, Lauris?
Guessing your weight?

You thought
perhaps what?Duh!

Hi, Molly.
Wanna go shopping?

No. Can't.

Okay.

Are you going out?

Yeah. I'm going out
with Sam.

Do I look weird?No, you look good.

Let me
show you something.

What?

Well...

I'm gonna
take these off.Why?

Because you already
have eyelashes,

and they're
perfectly beautiful,
just the way they are.

See, Molly, the purpose
of makeup is to accentuate
your strong points.

But I don't have
any strong points.

My eyes are
too close together.

No, they're not.I look like a baboon.

You do not look
like a baboon!

Yeah, I do. I do!
I saw one on TV.

Probably my
great-great-grandfather.

Why do you say that?

'Cause we're descended
from them, aren't we?

Probably had
big blue bottoms

that would grow bigger
when we wanted to have sex.

Well, our bottoms
do tend to get bigger,

but not just when
we want to have sex,
unfortunately.

Okay. That's good.

My God!
He's early!

Come in!

Hi, Dr. Trehare.

Hi, Sam.

Is Molly here?

Yeah. She's...

Why don't you...
Why don't you have a seat?

All right.

Why, Sam, whatever are
you doing here?

I thought we were
going for a walk.

Why, yes,
I do believe
you are correct.

Fiddle-dee-dee.

Sorry.Excuse me.

Sam?Yes?

Do you like me?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I like you.

Well, then,
how come you've never...

...kissed me?

Well, I, um...

'Cause, you know,
when people like each other,
they're supposed to kiss.

Well, yeah.

I guess so.
I mean...

I know how to do it.

You do?

Yeah.

Well, I know how to...
Well, I know that.

You want to do it?

Well, I mean,
it's not something
that I... That does...

Wait. Okay.

What?Nothing.

Molly?What?

I'm just...

I'm gonna go to work.

Bye.

See ya.

See ya.

Bye.

Sam?Yeah?

Are you all right?

Yes, I'm fine,
Dr. Brookes.

Just a little...

...anxious, that's all.

Scarlett got you
on the run?

It's okay.
It's okay.

Just... Yeah,
it's coming off.

A little bit
of lipstick.

Hello?

Jackie Collins
is right, you know.

There is an epidemic
going on.

Of what?

Beverly's boyfriend
is sleeping with half
the women in town,

and Susan is
cheating on you,
with Sam.

What?

Hello, Molly."Hello, Molly."

Is something wrong?
A problem?

Problem.

Something needs airing?

No, the only thing
that needs airing
is your mattress.

Molly, what...Do you think
I don't know?

You just stay away
from him, you slut!Molly...

Isn't it enough that
you're trapping my brother

into a meaningless
relationship?What?

If I ever see
you near Sam again,
I swear to God, I will...

Molly,
you're being jealous.

I am not being jealous!

It's okay.
It's a normal
adolescent emotion.

I am not an adolescent!

I am a 28-year-old woman!

God, why can't you
understand that?

Why can't you
understand me?

Molly?
Molly, it's okay.

We've all been there.

I just felt like...

...before.

Before?

Before you
fixed my brain.

Moo, moo.

Hello, Domingo.

Thank you, Sam.

Sure, Janet.

Hi.

Hi.

Sorry about yesterday.

Me too.Yeah.

Me too.

I know I was
a little weird.

No,
I was...

Um...

Well, I just hope
that we don't have
to be embarrassed.

No.

I mean,
it's still us, right?

Yeah.

Whatever happens, it...

It's...

Whenever you're ready.
Not now.

No.

Whenever you feel ready,
then you can kiss me.

Will you...
Will you kiss me back?

Absolutely.

What time do you
get off work?

Two o'clock.

Will you be my date?

Yes.

Good.

Bye.Bye.

Forbidden fruit.
I think.

You smell
like an animal.

Thank you.

These are a more youthful
kind of perfume.

Do you like it?

Yum, yum.

Well,
that's our entire range.

Which one
did you like the best?

We'll,
think about it.

Thanks.

Eyes,

look your last!

And, lips,

O you
The doors of breath,

seal with a righteous kiss

A dateless bargain
to engrossing death!

No!

Romeo, stop! She's...

She's asleep!
She's not even dead!

She's just asleep!
Stop!

Juliet, wake up!
Wake up!

Juliet, wake up!

See? She's okay.

Jeff, can I get
some help here?What are you doing?

See?

It's okay, it's okay.
It's okay. I got her.

What am I
supposed to do?

She almost knocked
my teeth out.

Whoa! Whoa!

Are you all right?What?

What's wrong? You all right?

It's okay.
We got her.

At the beginning,
I knew it was a play,
but it became very real.

I'll have the Irish
Smoked Salmon

I would love to be
in love like that.and the Maine Lobster.

Wouldn't you? Absolutely.

So passionate.

Here, nobody ever
says how they feel
about anything.

I mean, look at those
two people over there.

They have not said
a word to each other
since they sat down.

Look at them!Shh.

Well, they're obviously
angry at each other.

Why don't they
just say something?

I just wish
they'd scream.

If everybody screamed
when they wanted to,

the whole world
would be a madhouse.

At least it'd be more honest.

Sir?

I'll have the mussels
and the tournedos.

Medium rare.

Madam?

Molly.
And what's your name?

Richard.

Have you chosen?

I'm gonna have
the mud cake.
Chocolate mud cake.

And then
the key lime pie.

And to begin?

I'm gonna have
the chocolate mud cake.

And then
the key lime pie.

Sir?

I saw
the greatest dress.Sir?

Yes?

Order?

I'd like a coffee.

And?

Black.

Yeah.

Sam, aren't you hungry?

I'm starving.

No. Coffee's fine,
thank you.

Sam, it's okay.
I'm treating. Seriously.

I know the prices here
are outrageous,

but that's why I do
the stuff I do,

so we can come
to places like this.

Go ahead.

Coffee's gonna be
just fine for me, thanks.

Okay.

Molly, is something wrong?

There was just a silence.

I screamed for all of us.

Sam doesn't want
any food.

I thought Romeo
was beautiful.

Yeah. Juliet was,
not bad either,
not that I noticed.

How are these
for size?

Whoa!

My God!

Sam, get that one! Okay!

They can't breathe
out of the water!

Get it away from me!

Madam,
please go back
to your table.

They're choking!

You all right, Sam?

Audrey, I could use
some help here, please.

I do apologize.

And we will pay

for the dry cleaning
of that dress.

Let's all drink to that.

Those lobsters
live in the tank.

They're someone's pets.

Why would you eat
someone's pets?

Well, Molly, I didn't
think of it that way,

but I'll try to
do better next time.

Thank you.

Buck, will you
dance with me?

Why not?

Sam dances well,
doesn't he?

Sam's great.

Would you like him
as a brother-in-law?

I'd be honored.

Good.

'Cause you're gonna
have to give me away.

Dad says it's okay.

Dad?

Yeah.

I talk to them
in my dreams.

They're not
in the ground anymore.

Once you die,

at least you don't
get any older.

That's one good thing.

Are you sure
you want to see this?

Yeah. I do.

Honey,
you want to come give
your present to Moll?

Buck.

Buck.

Come on over, Buck.

Come on, sweetie.

It feels nice and soft.

Can you guess, Moll?

What's this one, Moll?

Let's see.
I wonder what it is.

What is it?

Sweetie! Yeah,
it's a bunny, Moll.

Sweetheart,
look at the bunny.

Look at that
little soft bunny.

He's the cutest
little bunny.

Buck, come over
to the table.

Come on.

In the world
where I come from,

nothing's predictable.

Sometimes everything's
crowding in on you.

So you have to

hunch in
on something small
and certain and safe.

In your world,

almost everything's
controlled.

But for us,
it's all a jumble,

and sometimes,
you just have to scream.

So people look
at you strangely

and talk about you
as if you're not
even there.

But...

...you always know
what they're saying.

They get very upset
when you scream,

but often, I know
that they would just like
to scream themselves.

I think that's what
I find most strange
about this world.

It's that nobody
ever says how they feel.

They hurt,

but they don't cry out.

They're happy,

but they don't dance,

or jump around.

And they're angry,

but they hardly
ever scream.

Because they'd
feel ashamed, and...

Nothing's worse
than that.

So we all walk around with
our heads looking down

and never look up
and see how beautiful
the sky is.

Hey!

Very...

So, what's
actually happening?

Well, her immune system
is attacking
the new cell growth.

It's not something
we expected

because they originated
from her own genetic
material.

The problem is
to identify a suppressant
which will switch off

that part of
the immune system

in the time frame
that we have.

Well, why not shut
the whole thing down?

She'd die of a cold
in a week.

Look, you did
this thing to Molly, okay?

What are you saying,
exactly?

There is a chance
of the whole process
completely reversing.

This is crazy.

I mean, she is
not gonna go back
to what she was, okay?

We gotta work at this
and we gotta stop
this thing.

There was always
the possibility of
this happening, Buck.

You knew that
in the beginning.

No, I didn't know
that you were gonna

create a whole new person
and then just give up on her.

She was always
a person, Buck.

What in the hell
are we gonna tell
Molly about this?

I think she knows,
Dr. Simmons.

I think she's known
for quite a while.

I felt some things.

But it was just
in the last few weeks.

Why didn't you
say something?

I don't know.
'Cause I was scared.

Moll...

You're not going back.

I'm not gonna let you.

All right, you're here
and you are my sister,
and...

We're gonna get through
this thing together.

Aren't we?

I don't know.

No.

We're gonna
beat this thing.

I'm so scared.

I'm really scared.
I'm...

I don't want to
go back.

I don't want to
lose all this.

I don't want to
lose you.

You won't lose me.

You have to go and
find somebody else.
You do.

No, Moll...Yes, you do.

It's not gonna be
any different than
how it was before.

No. You've seen
how I am now.

You're always gonna be
thinking about that.

Always gonna be
thinking about how
I could have been.

No, I won't.

Yeah, you will.Moll...

You know why?

Because I'll always
know it's you...

No matter what.

Come on, Moll.

I don't think
I can do it.

Yes, you can.
Come on.

Are you ready?
Sit up here.

Okay?

Now just pedal,
all right?

Put your feet here.
You got handlebars there.

Just pedal, okay?No!

No, we went riding
yesterday.

You can do this, okay?

Come on,
sit up here.

I'm gonna give you
a push start, okay?

Then you just keep
your balance
and you pedal.

All right?No.

Yes. You can do this.
Are you ready?
Here we go. Come on.

No! No!Yes. Come on.
Come on.

Come on, pedal.
Pedal. Come on.

Come on,
you can do it.

Keep your feet
on the pedals.

Moll, you okay?

Molly!
Are you all right?

Are you all right?
Come on.

You did this yesterday.
You can do it!

Buck,
you can't force her!Yes, you can!

What are you doing?
For God's sake!

She's gonna ride
this bike!

What are you
trying to do?

She fell off the bike!

I am not gonna
let it happen!

She is not going back
to being a vegetable!

Sam!

Don't say that, Buck.

Don't say that
about anybody.

I'm sorry
about out there.

Buck...

You know when you used
to come to see me
every Christmas,

you'd bring me a box
of candies every year?

Well, one year
you brought me a hat.

It was a yellow straw hat
with ribbons on it.

I loved that hat.

But it blew off
the first time they
took me to the beach.

Sailed up into the sky...

Till next Christmas.

You brought me
another box of candies.

You remember that?

Of course I do.

I waited for you
to come all year.

When Mom and Dad died,
you didn't even...

You didn't even seem
to know it had happened.

You'd still talk about them
like they were still around.

Maybe they were.

I was 17, Moll.

All those years
that they had been,
looking after you,

I'd just go up
to my room.

When they died, I...

I didn't know
who you were.

I hardly knew how
to look after myself.

I always wished
that you'd bring
your friends home.

I wanted to meet them.

I didn't want people
to see you.

I never told anyone
I even had a sister.

It'll still be me, Buck.

I am gonna be just
as much a person
as I am now.

I'll just be different.

Hey.

Hi there.

It's looking good.
You've done a lot of work.

I'm taking it out
for trials in two weeks.
See if it floats.

Do you need some crew?

I wanted to tell you
that we found
a good place for Molly.

It's sort of
a halfway house.

She'll be moving there
at the end of the week.

We'll all
really miss her.

But we'll be
able to visit.

I didn't know
if you'd be here,

so I wrote down
the address.

I'm sure she wants
to see you.

Would she know
who I was?

Well, you won't know
until you go.

Thanks.

It's really close by.

You liked it
when we went there.

No.

There's all those
big gardens.

You'll be able to help
pick all the lemons
and the oranges.

I'll come and see you
every day, Moll.

We'll be climbing
all over those
fruit trees.

Thought I'd
give you a lift
to the new place.

Is that okay, Susan?

Of course.

Got a job, Sus.

I mean, it's not
a great one,

but I can pay off
my debts.

They repossessed
the other car.

I was gonna
come with Molly,
if that's all right.

Sam, Molly go Buck.

Yeah.

Molly go Buck.

Okay.

See you.

And,

I will be needing
that crew,

if she's still available.

She is.

I thought we'd
stop by on the way.

Molly go Buck?Yeah.

So...

What do you think
of the new layout, Moll?

Good?

No.

Hey...

Is this the right place
for the bed?

No.

Forgot your cards.

Nice light in here.
See that light?

Got enough shoes there
to keep you going?

No.

And,

I got, Carmen
coming by every day.

She wants you
to give her
dancing lessons.

No.

I'm hoping Sam's gonna
be stopping by sometimes.

Sam.

So it's...

It's gonna be quite a...
A household.

If you want to join it.

Hello, Buck.

Hi, Molly.
