Anywhere But Here

* ALL TOO OFTEN *

* I SET MY LIFE ASIDE *

* ALL TOO OFTEN *

* MY DREAMS WENT SAILING BY *

* A CHANCE OF FREEDOM *

* A CHANCE OF FAITH *

* A CHANCE I'LL TAKE *

* KNOWING IT ALL WILL DISAPPEAR *

* IT AIN'T ANYWHERE BUT HERE *

* ALL TOO OFTEN *

* THE DREAMS I DREAMED HAVE DIED *

* ALL TOO OFTEN... *

Ann: MY MOTHER MADE AN AMAZING AMOUNT OF NOISE

WHEN SHE ATE HER FOOD.

IT WAS AS IF SHE WAS TRYING TO TASTE THE ENTIRE WORLD.

SOMETIMES I JUST COULDN'T STAND HER.

SOMETIMES I HATED HER.

SOMETIMES I THOUGHT SHE WAS RUINING MY LIFE.

WHAT KEPT ME GOING WAS KNOWING THAT ONE DAY I WOULD LEAVE HER.

* I'LL FIND IT ANYWHERE BUT HERE *

* COME ON, BABY, SURFIN' SAFARI *

* YEAH, I'M GONNA TAKE YOU SURFIN' SAFARI *

* YEAH, I'M GONNA TAKE YOU SURFIN' SAFARI *

* YEAH, I'M GONNA TAKE YOU SURFIN' SAFARI *

* LET'S GO SURFIN' NOW *

* EVERYBODY'S LEARNIN' HOW *

* COME ON A SAFARI WITH ME *

* BA LA LA LA LA LA LA *

I HATE THIS SONG.

I LOVE THIS SONG. IT'S THE BEACH BOYS.

I HATE THE BEACH BOYS.

HONEY, HOW CAN YOU HATE THE BEACH BOYS?

NOBODY HATES THE BEACH BOYS.

THEY'RE TOO HAPPY AND SUNNY.

WELL, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LEARN TO LIKE HAPPY AND SUNNY,

BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT CALIFORNIA'S ALL ABOUT.

OH, NEXT STOP, SALT LAKE CITY. YES!

SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. THE CAPITOL, RIGHT?

I DON'T CARE.

OH, YES, YOU DO CARE.

COME ON, DON'T MUMBLE. YOU CARE.

YOU'RE VERY GOOD AT CAPITOLS.

IDAHO.

COME ON, POOH BEAR, IDAHO.

STOP CALLING ME POOH BEAR.

BUT YOU ARE MY LITTLE POOH BEAR. COME ON.

COME ON. IDAHO.

BOISE! I DON'T WANT TO PLAY.

OK, NOW YOU DO ONE FOR ME.

A REALLY HARD ONE.

I SAID I DON'T WANT TO PLAY.

OREGON.

PORTLAND. TOO EASY.

SALEM.

IT'S SALEM?

I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS ANYMORE.

I DON'T WANT TO BE IN UTAH.

2,000 MILES BETWEEN US AND BAY CITY. OK.

I WANT TO BE BACK IN BAY CITY.

THIS IS LIKE BEING KIDNAPPED.

YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT, DO YOU?

I WISH SOMEBODY HAD KIDNAPPED ME

WHEN I WAS YOUR AGE.

SO DO I.

Ann: GRANDMA ALWAYS SAID THAT MY MOM WAS A STRANGE CHILD.

OH, THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MORIBUND.

GWEN PURVIS HAS CANCER.

THAT'S WORSE.

I DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HER.

YOU DIDN'T GIVE IT TO HER.

THAT'S FUNNY, AUNT ADELE.

YOU'RE GONNA DIE ONE DAY, TOO, MOM,

JUST LIKE THE REST OF US.

BUT NOT IN THIS TOWN.

Ann: MY MOTHER NEVER WANTED TO STAY IN BAY CITY.

I THINK SHE MARRIED MY STEPFATHER TED

BECAUSE HE WAS SO NICE AND SO CLEAN.

BEING AN ICE SKATING INSTRUCTOR MADE HIM SEEM CLEANER.

SHE MISSED MY REAL FATHER, WHO WAS EGYPTIAN,

DARK, AND ROMANTIC.

ONE CHRISTMAS EVE I HEARD MY PARENTS ARGUING.

I DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL HE WAS GONE.

HE DROVE AWAY IN OUR BROWN VALIANT.

I'M SORRY.

OH, I'M SORRY.

I'M SO SORRY.

YOU'RE AWFULLY QUIET.

YOU SAID WE'D SEE AN INDIAN RESERVATION.

WHEN WE GET TO ONE, WE WILL SEE ONE.

SWEETIE, DON'T MUMBLE.

HOW ARE YOU GONNA BE AN ACTRESS IF YOU CAN'T SPEAK CLEARLY?

I DON'T WANT TO BE AN ACTRESS.

I BET WE WON'T EVEN STOP IN LAS VEGAS, WILL WE?

AH, NOW, THAT'S WHAT'S BOTHERING YOU.

YOU SAID YOU HAD A NUMBER ON HIM.

I SAID WE WOULD LOOK HIM UP, OK?

WHEN YOU WERE 4 YEARS OLD,

YOUR FATHER LEFT YOU JUST IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT.

SO, WHAT? YOU LEFT MY STEPFATHER

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE AFTERNOON.

I MISS TED.

NOBODY MISSES TED. HE'S BORING.

THEN WHY'D YOU MARRY HIM?

THAT'S NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

BESIDES, HE WAS RUNNING AROUND WITH OTHER WOMEN.

THAT'S NOT TRUE. YOU MADE THAT UP.

YOU WANTED HIM TO SO YOU COULD CATCH HIM

AND TAKE HIM TO COURT AND GET ALL HIS MONEY.

YOU LITTLE SNOOP.

AND TED IS NOT A HOMOSEXUAL.

I NEVER SAID THAT.

YES, YOU DID.

OH, NO, I DID NOT.

OH, YES, YOU DID.

MAYBE I INFERRED IT, BUT I NEVER SAID IT.

"LIGHT IN THE LOAFERS"

IS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME THING.

ALL RIGHT, MOTHER.

TED SAID HE LOVES YOU,

AND THAT HE WAS WORRIED THAT YOU WERE SEEING OTHER PEOPLE,

WHICH YOU PROBABLY WERE.

ALL RIGHT, THAT IS IT. I HAVE HAD IT WITH YOU.

IF YOU MISS TED SO MUCH, YOU GO FIND TED.

GO ON, GET OUT OF THE CAR. OUT! O-U-T, OUT!

YOU SAID WE'D SEE BUFFALO IN NEBRASKA.

THERE WERE NO BUFFALO.

TOUGH SHIT! GET OUT OF THE CAR!

TED IS GOING TO BE AN ICE SKATING INSTRUCTOR

FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.

YOUR COUSIN BENNY IS GOING TO BE A GARAGE MECHANIC.

LOLLY IS NEVER GOING TO LEAVE THE BANK.

YOUR COUSIN HAL'S ALREADY DRINKING LIQUOR.

AND SYLVIA AND THE BABY CAN BARELY BREATHE.

THEY'RE GONNA SUFFOCATE BACK THERE,

BUT I NOW HAVE A JOB TEACHING

IN THE LOS ANGELES SCHOOL SYSTEM.

I HAVE AN M.A. IN EARLY EDUCATION

WHICH I HAVE JUST THROWN AWAY

IN THAT DINK JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL BACK THERE,

SO YOU FORGET ABOUT THE BUFFALO

AND THE GODDAMN INDIANS.

YOU ARE A BEAUTIFUL GIRL WITH GREAT POTENTIAL.

I'M NOT GONNA SEE YOUR FUTURE AS SOME NOTHING GIRL

IN A NOTHING FACTORY IN A NOTHING TOWN.

YOU ARE 14 YEARS OLD,

YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD ENOUGH TO EAT,

YOU'VE ALWAYS HAD A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD,

AND IF YOU STICK WITH ME, YOU ALWAYS WILL,

BECAUSE I AM YOUR MOTHER,

AND I KNOW WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU

BECAUSE THAT IS MY JOB.

PLUS YOU'RE GONNA GO TO SCHOOL IN BEVERLY HILLS,

WHICH IS ONLY THE BEST SCHOOL DISTRICT

IN THE UNITED STATES.

AND YOU'LL BE A CHILD ACTOR

WHILE YOU'RE STILL A CHILD.

YOU DON'T HAVE A JOB IN THE LOS ANGELES SCHOOL DISTRICT.

I WILL HAVE.

I HAVE AN INTERVIEW AND A GREAT OUTFIT.

ARE YOU HUNGRY?

EXCUSE ME.

I DON'T KNOW.

GREAT. SO AM I.

SO...

WILL YOU LOOK AT THAT CAR?

IS THAT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AUTOMOBILE

YOU'VE EVER SEEN?

NO. I HATE THAT CAR. I MISS THE PLYMOUTH.

BABY, NOBODY MISSES THE PLYMOUTH.

IT'S YOUR COLOR.

YEAH, IT IS, ISN'T IT?

OH, LOOK AT THIS.

IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL.

Man: HOW DOES IT FEEL?

SUBLIME.

MOM, WE CAN'T AFFORD THIS CAR.

WE HAVE SOME MONEY IN SAVINGS,

AND I CAN DIP INTO THE TEACHERS' RETIREMENT FUND.

THIS CAR DOES NOT BELONG IN BAY CITY,

AND NEITHER DO WE.

WE'RE GOING TO DRIVE TO BEVERLY HILLS

IN THIS CAR.

Ann: MOM, THIS PLACE LOOKS EXPENSIVE.

Adele: I'LL WORRY ABOUT THAT, OK?

NOW THAT WE'RE IN BEVERLY HILLS,

MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHANGE YOUR NAME TO HEATHER.

MMM, IT SMELLS SO NICE HERE.

HOW MUCH IS THE ROOM?

IT'S 1,200.

A NIGHT?

YES.

I DON'T KNOW THAT IT'S LARGE ENOUGH.

DO YOU HAVE ANY VILLAS?

THERE ARE NO VILLAS AVAILABLE RIGHT NOW.

MOM, I'M TIRED.

WHERE ARE WE GONNA SLEEP TONIGHT?

Adele: SWEET PEA,

YOU ARE JUST AS PRETTY AS THESE GIRLS ON TV.

IN FACT, I THINK YOU'RE PRETTIER.

SWEETIE, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
