Those are the real revolutionaries...

Winona Rider.

Shoplifting is always revolutionary.

Oh my God...

I'd better go.

I have to make dinner for Marie. -Okay.

-See you tomorrow. -Okay, bye.

Did I say Gudrun Ensslin?

Marie?

Lake? Are you there?

Lake?

You and your books. Aren't they supposed to be obsolete?

What do you want?

How was work?

Thanks for cleaning up.

I fixed you something, it's in the fridge, nuke it 3 minutes.

Pull him out. This way.

I don't want to be a lifeguard.

It was my stupid idea in the first place.

-What are you going to do for money?

-Everyone is always so worried about money.

-I think this is just our gap year anyway.

-For me, it's going to be a permanent gap. I'll never

be able to afford tuition.

-You can always get out of town together.

Are you serious?

Always.

Shit...

Looking pretty rough, Marie. -Gee, thanks.

Hi Desiree! —Hi!

-How did you get all banged up? -I had a little dispute

with a dancer at the club.

She wasn't sharing hertips.

-What's your degree, I still don't get why you can't find

a better job. -Lake, stop.

It's not that easy, Lake.

-Woman in the nigger of the world.

What?

Yoko Ono. -She's right.

Anyway smartie, a gentleman I used to know when I was

in college came into the club the other night and offered

me a position. -Where?

-At an assisted living facility. -You mean an old folks home?

Who knows? If things work out, I might even be able

to get you a job there. -At an old folks home...

Disgusting!

You were supposed to be finished bed pans an hour ago.

-Sorry, I got involved in a pretty heated game

of Chinese checkers. -It's not your job

to fraternize with patients. Anyway, your mother wants

to see you in the office. Now.

I have to see Lake and get back to work.

-Yeah. -Yeah.

Alright... -Hi mom!

-Lake, can't you knock first? -Mom, I didn't know you'd be

in a meeting. -I told you not to call me

mom at work. Say hello to Mister Nelson.

Hello...

-Look, he got me these for the car. Aren't they nice?

Hey, how are you getting along at the wrinkle ranch?

-The wrinkle ranch, really? -Oh well now son, let's...

Let's not get off on the wrong foot. I want all the employees

here at Coup de Coeur to feel like part of the family.

Can I go now?

Who are you? -I'm Lake. I've been asked

to give you... To help you clean up.

Are you ready for your afternoon medication?

Here we go.

Oh,that's the way it's going to be.

Okay then...

open up.

You can do this, come on. Come on Mister Peabody, open up.

Fine...That's it. Very good. Take the glass of water now.

I know...

Very good. Very good.

Boy, there are bed pans that need to be sterilized.

Take your chariot and come with me. Now!

-The clarion call of Coup de Coeur.

Bed pans...

-I'll see you around, M. Peabody.

See you where ever you are.

What kind of medication is he on?

It's none of your business.

-It must be pretty strong, he seems...

-M. Peabody is a very sick old man.

Are you giving him psychotropic drugs?

-Where did you learn that word? In the school yard?

Boy, you don't know what you're talking about.

Hey!

Hey!

-You're new. -Yeah.

What about you? -I've been here a few months.

It's pretty disgusting. Old geezers pissing all over

themselves.

It doesn't bother me.

Let's be friends.

Sure.

And then she waved...

Yeah, not bad.

Well I think she's great.

She's alright.

So tell me about the old men.

-I gave one a sponge bath. -Was it gross?

-Not really. Somebody has to do it.

-You're amazing. You're always taking care of other people.

-What do you mean? -I don't know, you're always

picking up after Marie and you like giving old men sponge

baths. -I didn't say I liked it.

You see what I mean?

You're such a saint.

I'm not a saint.

Oh my God! That's blood.

-What? -The blood of a saint.

-I'm not a saint. -But you are.

-I'm the revolutionary and you are the saint.

-What makes you think you're so revolutionary?

You couldn't even make your own list.

-Hey, are you okay? -Oh, of course!

-Have you heard the show tonight?

Totally!

Oh,this is Lake. —Hi.

-What happened to you? -Oh actually that's nothing.

That is just a little bit of stigmata because Lake's

an actual saint. -Ah, that's all.

-No really, he's like an actual saint. Saint Lake.

-Desiree? -Okay I've got to get back

to my band. -Okay, see you later.

It was nice to meet you.

M. Peabody! -M. Peabody!

Come back! M. Peabody!

What is he doing? -Oh he's done this before.

He says he needs to get to the ocean.

He's totally delirious.

Tada!

-This is definitely better than your Iast job.

-No kidding! Naomie Klein is doing a signing here next week

and I am in charge of setting it up.

-She's on your list? -I cannot believe it.

-Are you going to ask Naomie about the cover of No Logo?

What about it?

-It's become so iconic, it's like a logo. I wonder how

she feels about that. -I don't know,

ask her yourself.

Desiree, I'd like to show you something.

-Okay. -Are you with a customer?

-No, actualIy, this gentleman found everything that he was

looking for. So... -Excellent. I could really

use your help. -Okay, cool.

The new Atwood? Get out! She's on my list too.

Your list? -Never mind.

-It's an advanced copy, I thought you'd like it.

I love it.

Um, Desiree, are you busy on Friday night?

-Why? Do you want me to pick up a shift?

Um, no I um...

I'm asking you over for dinner.

Ah yeah.

Yeah, I'm free.

Excellent. Great.

He's been moved to room 219. His son called and had him

upgraded to a private room. -His son?

Nobody told me? -Right, next time we'll make

sure to consult you first.

What's this game called again? It seems pretty easy.

Beginners always say that.

It's called Gin Rummy. -Why is it called that?

-Apparently the game's inventor had a preference for gin.

And it became known as Movie Star Gin in the 30's, it was

the Hollywood elite past time between takes on movies sets

with a quick game.

-That's really interesting. -When you've been around as long

as I have my dear, you learn a thing or two about even

the most trivial of pursuits.

Gin.

-Do you play poker? -I've been known to win a hand

or two. We must play sometime. -Are you ready for your

afternoon medication?

It's time.

-We are kind in the middle of something.

-If you would just leave them, I promise, I'll take

them in a little while. -It's more effective

if you take them on schedule.

-Like the trains in Germany. -Oh you devil.

Excuse me.

Not again M. Abernati!

-Don't worry, I'll make sure he takes them.

You're sure?

Alright, but don't forget.

Give me these pills.

We wouldn't want you to have an unfair advantage.

-There's a photo in that top drawer, would you hand it

to me, please.
