The Cake Eaters

Easy:
I don't think they're teaching manners anymore at the schools.

Marg:
I guess not.

Easy:
So how's business?

Marg:
Pretty slow. What are you doing here Easy?

Easy:
Getting rid of stuff we don't need anymore.

Marg:
Georgia, you must know Mr. Kimbrough, he's the butcher.

Georgia:
I'm a vegetarian.

Easy:
We like that.

Marg:
This is my granddaughter, Georgia.

Easy:
Granddaughter indeed. And the hoverer, my son Dwight and with his permission you can call him Beagle.

Georgia:
Nice to meet you.

Beagle:
Yeah, um, I've seen you around. You go to my school.

Georgia:
You go to Lincoln?

Beagle:
No, no I work there in the cafeteria. I make your lunch.

Georgia:
If you want to call it lunch.

Beagle:
Yeah, well, school food gets a bad rep I guess.

Beagle:
So what's wrong with you anyway?

Georgia:
I have Frederick's Ataxia. It's a neuromuscular disease.

Beagle:
Is that why you talk kind of like you're drunk?

Georgia:
I do?

Beagle:
I mean, um, you, it, just slurred a little...

Georgia:
No, I get it all the time

Beagle:
I just didn't know. I didn't know anything about it. I didn't mean to offend you

Georgia:
No, you didn't. It's a genetic disorder of some kind.

Beagle:
Are you gonna get better?

Georgia:
No, this is pretty much as good as it's gonna get until my heart gives out. I don't know when that's going to be.

Easy:
What the hell are you doing up there?

Guy:
I didn't get the mail til this morning. I would have been here, I've been on the road.

Easy:
I know.

Guy:
There's a hole in mom's sewing room.

Easy:
I know.

Guy:
What happened?

Easy:
It was a real simple ceremony. We tried to call you in New York. Your number didn't work. We couldn't get a hold of you. I'm sorry, bud.

Marg:
Hey Ease, I want to ask you something. Did you notice anything funny about the way your son was looking at my Georgia today?

Easy:
Beagle? Oh, no m'am, that's just Beagle. He has absolutely no game in that area, trust me.

Georgia:
Come back tomorrow.

Beagle:
Yeah?

Georgia:
Yeah. We can go somewhere.

Beagle:
I'll see you tomorrow.

Judd:
You hear that Georgia?

Georgia:
That's awesome Mom.

Violet:
that's awesome mom It is isn't it? Oh baby just think, someday your images are going to be hanging up next to Sally Man

Georgia:
They're your images.

Violet:
Oh no. God gave me such a beautiful daughter and I want to show the world how special you are.

Georgia:
Mom, do I have to do this today? I just really don't feel like it.

Violet:
Why not?

Georgia:
I love your photos, it's not that.

Violet:
You know what, you are not going anywhere without your wheelchair.

Georgia:
Mom, I don't need it yet.

Violet:
Georgia, you are covered in bruises.

Georgia:
I know that! I'm the one that's dying remember, it's not you.

Violet:
What did you say?

Georgia:
I just don't need you reminding me all the time.

Marg:
What are you thinking about my angel?

Georgia:
Sex.

Marg:
Whoa.

Georgia:
It's supposed to be this huge deal right?

Marg:
Uh huh.

Georgia:
But is it really?

Marg:
It can be really beautiful. And it can be very not beautiful.

Georgia:
How old were you when you... when you first... when you lost it.

Marg:
Georgia, where is this going? I mean, I was seventeen... sixteen... ok, I was fifteen. It was in an alley behind my parents house in upper St. Clair with a boy named Johnny Usiff. He was Russian. Very handsome. I was drunk so I don't remember a whole lot about it. In case you're getting any ideas I suggest you wipe them from your mind. Sugar, we don't have such great luck in this family.

Stephanie:
Hey gorgeous. Alright, so what are we going to do today, trim the ends, keep the length?

Georgia:
I want something radical. Sexy.

Stephanie:
Well I can do radical sexy. What's the special occasion?

Georgia:
I have a date.

Stephanie:
You have a date? Sweetie that is so great! Is he cute?

Georgia:
Yeah. He's interesting.

Stephanie:
Interesting. Is it love?

Georgia:
I'm not really looking to fall in love right now.

Stephanie:
Why not? There's nothing like your first love. Trust me.

Georgia:
I just want to see what it's like.

Stephanie:
What are we talking about here?

Georgia:
I gonna lose it.

Stephanie:
You wanna lose... it.

Stephanie:
Honey,that uh, thats, that is something serious, you know. I mean you only get one chance at your first time. It should be with someone you're crazy in love with you know 'cause you're gonna remember it the rest of your life. You should wait.

Georgia:
I don't really have a lot of time to wait.

Marg:
Hello rock star.

Georgia:
You like it?

Marg:
Your mama's gonna kill me.

Judd:

Beagle:

Beagle:

Georgia:

Beagle:
Anything special you want?

Georgia:
