Taboo III

Jimmy, did you see Paul this morning?

When did your brother leave?

I don't know, I didn't see him, Mom.

He didn't say anything to me about leaving.

Hello?

Yes operator, I'll accept the charges.

Mom? Hello, Mom. It's me, Paul.

Paul!

Look, Mom, don't say anything! Just hear me out!

But, Paul...

The way things where between us, I couldn't stay with you anymore.

It's better for you and better for me. You know that.

It was driving us both crazy.

But, honey, why didn't you wait?

You know I didn't want you to leave.

We can work this out.

Mom!

I'll miss you so much. Please come home.

I promise I'll make things up to you.

If you just... If you just come back, I...

...I promise I'll stay away from you.

Mom, I can't handle it anymore!

And, Mom, tell Jimmy I'll call him.

He can send me the rest of my things.

Okay, Paul.

I'll tell your brother.

I'll think of something to tell him.

Goodbye, Mom.

Paul!

Joyce, I'm sorry I'm late, the phone kept ringing.

That's okay, Barbara, but I was beginning to think...

...you were gonna stand me up.

Oh, really, Joyce, I wouldn't stand you up. I'm really sorry, love.

It's just that things are... so hectic now that I'm in between jobs.

You got fired?

No, I quit.

Why? You're making so much money since you got your real estate license.

It's just that I got tired of...

...being chased around my office and trying to fight off my boss.

You mean to tell me...

...Jerry Morgan is still chasing you 'round the office?

- How exciting! - No, not Jerry!

I quit working for Jerry ages ago when we stopped dating.

Well, who have you being dating?

- No one - No one? Why not?

I'm tired of dating!

And I'm tired of blind dates,

and I'm tired of making idle conversation...

...with men I don't know and I don't care to know!

- Joyce! Joyce! - Isn't he cute?

That's why I come to this shoes store. I buy all my shoes here.

You sure have changed since your divorce.

And how? I'll take these, sweetie!

Yeah.

Diane, come on, please.

All right, look... Diane!

Look, Phil. All right, tomorrow night at the showcase,

you'll start with the number of the "Animal in Me",

and then you'll end with "No Turning Back".

Now in case Benny Rogers from C&R Records get there late,

then he'll hear the "No Turning Back" number.

Now, I really want to happen for you guys, so, you know,

let's just get the energy up and let's break some hearts, okay?

All I wanna know, Jimmy, is why you and Brian get all the birds...

...when we're supposed to be the stars.

It's like I told you. You're in training, like a fighter.

Now, you don't want all that energy shooting out the end of your cock, do you?

Why I don't just put it on the band and we all take a vote?

No, forget it, because you got this night club gig,

and then you guys got this long road trip ahead,

and maybe when you come back that's a different story.

Well, Jimmy, you're all heart.

Okay, guys. Animal in Me.

All fine, go on, ask him!

Tell him how great I'm singing!

Honey, I'll see you. I gotta work with the fellas.

Will you be over later, Jimmy?

Yeah, sure. I'll call you first.

Okay. Bye.

Okay, fellas! Um...

When you go on,

I want some excitement, you know? I wanna bring that crowd to a peak!

And then when you got them, you don't wanna let go.

What do you think, Brian?

You thing we should drop the, uh, "If looks Could Kill" number?

- It's kinda slow. - I'll tell you what I think.

I think we should get some more sex in the act.

Take Jean, here. Put her on stage.

Jennifer, Brian! My name is Jennifer!

Alright, Jennifer.

We need some big bazoongas.

Some legs.

Put her in a see-through dress. A mini skirt.

- Show tits and ass. - Will you quit fucking around?

This is for money.

Will you get your god-damn mind off your cock?

Jesus, you'll never change, will you?

Fuck no.

Those guys from the record labels are gonna be there.

Let's dazzle them with some...

...pussy.

All right, we'll give them all the pussy they can handle!

But at the party, not on the stage!

Come on, honey. Show my partner what you can do.

I'm going.

I'm on fire... I'm on fire...

Me too... Me too...

See, Jimmy? I told you I had talented tonsils.

Oh, yes, you do. And great lungs, too.

Hey, listen, Brian.

None of us understand why we can't go to the party, too.

We wanna go to the orgy and have some fun.

If you guys are there,

the girls are gonna be hanging all over you.

We want them paying attention to the record company people.

You want the contract, don't ya?

- You bet we do - Well...

Don't come in yet, Jimmy! I'm not dressed!

- Oh, I'm sorry, Mom! - Just a second, honey!

Okay, you can come in now!

Honey, you know you shouldn't come barging in on me like that.

After all I'm your mother.

Well, you didn't seem to mind it when Paul barged in on you.

Honey, that's ridiculous.

Paul didn't barge in on me.

Now come on, let's not argue anymore about your brother.

I love you both the same, you know that.

Yeah, I'm sure, Mom.

Hey, Mom? You wanna go to dinner with me?

I mean, if you haven't made any plans. I know you don't like to eat alone.

No, I don't have any plans tonight.

Honey, that would be love...

...that'd be lovely.

It's been a long time since we had supper together.

Just you and I.

Since you got back from New York.

Oh, well, uh...

It might not be just the two of us. I already asked Diane to come.

Oh! Diane.

Well, that's too bad.

You know...

I think you've been seeing too much of Diane.

I mean, uh, you're too young...

...to see so much of just one person.

Oh, Mom, I'm not even sure if she wants to come!

I mean, I've been trying to get a hold of her.

Come on, what do you say? It's been a long time.

Okay. Alright.

Give me a few minutes to finish my face, okay?

Oh, you look good to me.

That's sweet of you, honey, but I still need a few minutes.

Okay, well, then, I'll hit the jacuzzi till you're ready.

What the fuck are you doing here, Diane?

I thought you were going out with Jimmy tonight.

Let's just say I got tired of waiting.

I am bored to tears.

All he cares about is that stupid band!

So what's wrong with that?

Well, I'm sure you have other things on your mind than...

...just that band.

Like...

...how to make a girl...

...happy.

You know, I told Jimmy you're about as loyal as a snake.

Do you see any ring...

...on my finger?

I should kick your rotten ass out of here.

Alright.

I said I "should" kick your ass out of here.

I didn't say I would.

Hi! Is Brian around? He said he'd be here.

Uh, no, I haven't seen him all day, but, uh, why don't you stick around and...

No, that's alright. I'll wait in the sauna room.

Oh, God, I'd love to be waiting in your womb.

Jesus Christ, Mom, what time is it?

Eleven o'clock in the morning.

You shouldn't sleep so late.

Who's that, do I know her?

That's none of your business, Mom.

Okay.

You know, if you moved at home, you could still do anything you wanted.

You know I wouldn't mind.

I'm not a kid anymore, Mom. Haven't you noticed?

Of course I've noticed.

I'm having lunch with Barbara Scott this afternoon,

so I'll probably be tied up all day.

When will I see you?

You're seeing me now, Mom.

That's not what I mean.

Alright. Alright, Mom.

I'll be home tonight.

Hey!

Oh, Jimmy, please, there'd be none left!

Honey, please, if you're hungry, I'll make you some!

Okay! Fair enough!

Jimmy! I wish you wouldn't look at me that way!

What way, Ma?

Oh, God, why did I have to say that?

Barbara?

- Barbara! Yoo-hoo! Barbara! - In here, Joyce!
