| Plot: | Die naive Provinzkellnerin Lesly hat sich mit dem attraktiven Großstädter Marty Pascal verlobt. Am Thanksgiving-Day begleitet sie Marty, der in Washington seine Familie besuchen und bei dieser Gelegenheit auch seine Verlobte vorstellen möchte. Marty hat Lesly nicht vorgewarnt. Statt einem harmonischen Truthahnessen erwartet Lesly der chaotische Wahnsinn einer zerrütteten Familie. Am Tag des Mordes an Präsident John F. Kennedy wird Mrs. Pascal von ihrem Mann verlassen. In der Fantasie ihrer beiden damals noch kleinen Kinder Marty und Jackie-O. verschmilzt das Leid der eigenen Familie mit den schockierenden Aufnahmen des legendären 'Zapruder-Films' - der einzigen dokumentarischen Aufnahme des Kennedy-Mordes - zu einer verhängnisvollen Einheit. So wie andere Kinder Vater und Mutter spielen, wiederholen Marty und Jackie-O. bis ins Teenager-Alter hinein im Rollenspiel wieder und wieder die Szene von Dallas - zunächst nur mit Platzpatronen. Unter den duldsamen Augen ihrer überspannten Mutter driftet dieses Spiel der Geschwister in eine inzestuöse Obsession. Marty will sich aus dieser bedrückenden Situation befreien. Er beendet das Verhältnis mit seiner Schwester und verlobt sich mit der artigen Provinzkellnerin Lesly. Als Marty die nichts ahnende Verlobte am Thanksgiving-Day seiner 'schrecklich netten Familie' vorstellen will, zieht draußen nicht zufällig ein Hurricane auf... |

Continuity: SPOILER: Jackie-O buttons her pink jacket before taking out the gun in the last scene, but when she goes to shoot Marty her jacket is unbuttoned again. Continuity: The amount of wine in Jackie-O's glass varies improbably between shots while Marty is playing the piano. Continuity: In the opening scene Jackie O's pearls are flat and orderly, but then alternate between being untangled and tangled between shots. Crew: When Jackie-O says, "Goo is what makes it tape instead of paper," someone can be seen moving in the background (to the right), apparently attempting to get out of the shot. |
Quotes

Mrs. Pascal: Jackie and Marty belong to each other. Jackie's hand was holding Marty's penis when they came out the womb. Lesly: I can't talk that way about your brother. Jackie-O: Pretend he is not my brother, I do. Jackie-O: I watch soap operas. I bake brownies. Normalcy is coursing through my veins. Jackie-O: Were you poor? Did you eat chicken pot pie? Jackie-O: You be him, and I'll be her. Mrs. Pascal: Oh my God, I sounded just like a mother! Didn't I sound just like a mother? Marty: You are a mother. Mrs. Pascal: I know, but I still can't believe it. I look at you people and wonder, how did you ever fit in my womb? Lesly: This is how you raised them? Mrs. Pascal: People raise cattle. Children just happen. Lesly: You were spying on us? Mrs. Pascal: A mother doesn't spy. A mother pays attention. Jackie-O: We all have our secrets. Lesly: [about Marty's ex-girlfriend] Is she still here, in Washington? Jackie-O: Very much so. I wonder... Lesly: What? Jackie-O: No, it's none of my business. Lesly: What? Jackie-O: Well, if he plans to get together with her while he's home. Lesly: Why didn't he marry her? Jackie-O: He couldn't. Lesly: Why not? Jackie-O: It was a family thing. Lesly: Families objected? Jackie-O: Something like that. Lesly: He never told me. Jackie-O: Men and their secrets. Lesly: Not all men have secrets. Jackie-O: We all have our secrets. Lesly: So what if I slept with his brother? He slept with his sister! Anthony: Would you like a glass of Liebfraumilch? Lesly: No thank you. I'll just have a glass of wine. Marty: That's the name of the wine. Lesly: Oh! [laughs] I don't speak french. Jackie-O: Who does? Anthony: You do. Jackie-O: Oh, that's right, I do. [smiles] Lesly: So what does that name mean? Jackie-O: In french? Lesly: [nods] Jackie-O: I think it means something German. Marty: It means, "loving mother's milk." Lesly: You speak french? Marty: No. German. Marty: Leslie, this is Jackie-O. Lesly: Hi! Marty: My Mother. Anthony. Meet Leslie. Leslie and I are engaged! Jackie-O: [screams hysterically, then laughs hysterically] Jackie-O: [still laughing] I have to find my hairbrush. Lesly: Oh, I have a comb. Jackie-O: [squints angrily, then runs away] Jackie-O: It's okay, Anthony. I understand. Anthony: Understand what? Jackie-O: Just because Marty's attracted to girls doesn't mean you have to be. Anthony: I'm attracted to girls! Jackie-O: Really? Are you sure? Anthony: Yes! Jackie-O: Hmm... Anthony: [to Jackie] I hear you crying at night alone in your room. Anthony: [to Marty] I hear her crying at night alone in her room. Marty: [to Jackie] You cry at night alone in your room? Anthony: Hey, don't make fun of her! I won't let you make fun of her. Marty: I wasn't going to make fun of her. I was going to ask her what she cries about. Jackie-O: [turns away] What do you think? You want somebody for a very long time. And then you have them. And they love you. And they make love to you. But it's not enough. This is the truth about sex. Anthony: Is that why Peter was lousy in bed? Jackie-O: I'm not talking about Peter, Anthony. Jackie-O: [turns towards them, crying] Jesus, I'm talking about Marty. Jackie-O: Marty and I tell each other everything. Lesly: Everything? Jackie-O: We're twins. Lesly: Did he tell you about his other girlfriends? Jackie-O: Did he tell *you* about his other girlfriends? Lesly: There was one, he said. Jackie-O: [eyes open wide] Did he tell you about her? Lesly: No, what was she like? Jackie-O: Who? Lesly: The girl. Jackie-O: She wasn't a girl. She was a woman. Lesly: She was *older* than Marty. Jackie-O: No, they were almost exactly the same age. Talk about glamorous. She was glamorous. Lesly: I thought so. Jackie-O: Sorry, no pancakes today, I'm afraid! Marty: Are you being wise? Jackie-O: One day I woke up wise. Marty: One day I woke up stupid. Jackie-O: What'd you do? Marty: I went back to bed. Jackie-O: That was wise. Jackie-O: Goo is what tape is all about. Goo is what makes it tape instead of *paper*. Jackie-O: Well, there's something I've been meaning to ask you. There's this thing I've heard, and if I thought for one second it was true I'd probably kill myself. Does your fiancee work - in a doughnut shop? Jackie-O: I went through all this trouble to get sane, so you can't just leave. Mrs. Pascal: Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go baste the turkey and hide the kitchen knives. Jackie-O: Pennsylvania's just this state that's in your way when you're trying to get someplace else. Jackie-O: Love is for tiny people with tiny lives. Jackie-O: What about what *we* have? Marty: *Had* Jackie-O: I don't recognize the past tense. Jackie-O: Sorry about that, by the way, I didn't mean to maim you. I only meant to kill you. Marty: These things happen. Mrs. Pascal: I really have no idea who my children belong to. Jackie-O: No, Peter and I have nothing in common. You and I, Marty, have a lot in common; parents, dna, bone structure. Anthony: I always carry crazy glue. Jackie-O: They've switched me - I used to be green, now I'm brown. I wanted my pills to match my eyes. Color me beautiful! Anthony: Nobody *buys* matches. People *find* matches. Mrs. Pascal: There is no television and no food. What else is there to stay up for? Anthony: What did it look like? Jackie-O: It looked like a hairbrush, like a brush you brush your hair with. Mrs. Pascal: Was it pink? Jackie-O: Yes, it was pink, goddamn it! It was pink! It was pink and now is gone! Mrs. Pascal: What's that gun doing there? Jackie-O: It's not a gun. It's a camera. Mrs. Pascal: It's a gun. Jackie-O: It's a camera that looks like a gun. Marty: Relax, Mama, it isn't loaded. Mrs. Pascal: How do you know? Marty: I checked. Mrs. Pascal: What's it doing there? Jackie-O: Being gunlike, gunesque, gunonic. Mrs. Pascal: Where did it come from? Jackie-O: God? Jackie-O: Guess where I am? I'm in a box and I can't get out. Marty: No. I'm in a box and I can't get out. Jackie-O: Well, I'm sorry that wasn't a very good mime, Marty, I didn't see that at all. Lesly: I don't think you're insane. Jackie-O: You don't? Lesly: No. Jackie-O: You don't think I'm an eensie weensie bit insane? Lesly: I don't think you're insane. I think you're just spoiled. Jackie-O: [exasperated] Oh please, if everyone around here is going to start telling the truth, I'm going to bed. Jackie-O: I suppose you think I'm going insane just to be fashionable. Mrs. Pascal: Did you give your sister her medication? Anthony: Uh-huh [eyes Jackie-O] Lesly: Does this happen a lot? Jackie-O: Every goddamned hurricane! Mrs. Pascal: Don't forget your toothbrush! Jackie-O: I see Anthony wears a lot of layers around me, don't 'cha Anthony? He's got a tee shirt, a dress shirt, a vest, and a jacket. Anthony: I'm wearing a jacket because it's Thanksgiving Jackie-O: You weren't wearing it before. Anthony: I put it on after Marty got here. Marty: I appreciate it. It looks nice. Anthony: I think it belonged to a Kennedy. Marty: Why? Is there a bullet hole? Lesly: Boy, it's been a long day. Jackie-O: Not as long as yesterday. Yesterday was 24 whole hours. |
