Pinky Rose: Hi.

Ms. Bunweill: I want you to get her a suit an’ a locker an’ show her the routine the way you did with Alcira.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): The-The only thing that I dreamed was the title, who was in it, an’ where it took place, and uh the rest I kind of winged as I wen’ along. And uh.. then I sat down with um.. a girl named Pat Resnick, and she wrote somme.. stuff an’.. an’ we kin’a wrote– made that up as we wen’ along. Sissy Spacek who plays Pinky of course, she was like a souul.. that had appeared.. on the planet an’ said How do I.. make myself a person. An’ she was doing it by mimicking Millie. It’s like a-a an alien who says Ah how will I hide myself in this in this world. Oh I’ll become that person. Too much emphasis is put on scripts I think. Where if they’re done word for word or literally they become an illustrated.. lecture an’ they don’t organically come out o’the actors an’ the director an’ the people that are— wh-what’s happening as we’re making the film. That atmosphere is usually forgotten. ... I knew who the characters were going in. I knew this was about iden’ity theft. An’-An’ I don’t know that other than from my dream. But that was the aura o-of the feelings, an’ so we knew pretty much, like when I found that spaa, I said Oh that’s where she works. I could’ve very that could’ve very well been a five-an’-dime store orrr orr uh the bus station at-at that time we found that place, but all of these things that we find and then adapt move our story into uh just expanded our story. They-They give it a um.. they gave it a-a-a sense of truthfulness.

An’ that wholle kind of dream-like quality.. occurred an’ all kinds of accidents I mean eh-everybody for years has talked about uh-uh Shelley’s um yellow skirt being caught in the door of the-the little car. Every time we saw the car we saw her little a piece of her yellow skirt sticking out. Everybod’ says Oh that’s just genius that was so brilliant. An’-An’ well the first time she got in the car we had a camera on it an’, she got in her car an’ closed the door an’ her skirt ha was cut in such a way that it caught every time. And uh Tommy Thompson who was my A-Dee for many many years, uh he’s unfortunately gone now, but Tommy, the minute the car started t’drive off with her skirt in it he called Cut!. I said What’re you doing, he said Well look her skirt’s stuck out the door. I said Yeah but that’s good. So uhh we just used that as a continuing thing. An’ that’s the way we did pretty much the whole film.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): An’ there was a..uh sort of a sad um-um what I woul’ call a macho.. sadness about him. He-he-he was one o’ those macho guy.. he coul’ play he played wha’m like this macho guy who really wasn’ good at it. Y’know he was a he was as much a fake as Shelley was, or as Sissy was trying to become, an’ I think th-the only person who-who saw that was the Janice Rule character, ’cause zhthere’s times when she looks at him, an’-an’ realizes that.. uh-there’s she’s married a big loser. An’, when the baby’s being born, he’s out tryin’ to seduce.. Shelley. An’ he played that really well, he played that.. inep’ness. Th-I think most actors.. till they find a point where they ca- they, they’re they are safe, they uh they try to they wanna be proud of the person they’re playing, even if he’s an a hatchet an axe murderer, they try to give the p’character some dignity, because we all want everybody t’ like us. And-uh so Bob had that vulnerability I don’t think that.. it coulda been cast better.

Millie Lammoreaux: I know it’s milk but what’s it doin’ in the bathroom?

Pinky Rose: What happened to your date?

Millie Lammoreaux: He wanted to go t’ some striptease joint an’ I wadn’ about to. Say Tom and some o’ the guys are settin’ up a swimmin’ party downstairs. Why don’t we get on our suits an’ go join ’em?

Pinky Rose: I don’t have a suit.

Millie Lammoreaux: You ’an borrow one o’ mine.

Pinky Rose: Ts. Welll. I got this.. sewin’ I wanna finish up an’.. besides I, I got some readin’ I wanna catch up on.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): My first experience with Shelley was in um a film I made called Brewster McCloud. An’ we shot it in-in Houston. And uh.. we were in living in Houston an’ we were casting the film an’ I was writing it, and I’d had to leave town to go away for something I came back um again um Tommy Thompson an’ Bob Eggenweiler who wor-worked wi-with me on all o’these things said Oh wow.! we’ve met a girl at a party you’ve gotta see she’s fantastic. An’ I said Yeah yeah yeah yeah, but I did I did not want an actor a Hollywood actress or a professional actress in that role uh in uh in Brewster McCloud I really wanted a-a aa total naïvete. And uh so these guys told me about ’er an’ I just didn’t I said Well I’ll meet her, but I was reluctant about it. Uh she came over an’ they didn’ tell her she was coming to be in a film; they told me. The way the way they had met her she was at a party Shelley Duvall was at a party selling or trying to sell her boyfriend’s art. And, when I met ’er she didn’ know if she-she that we were looking at ’er for a part, an’ I didn’ believe ’er, I mean she was so unique.. that I thought this was an act, an’ I was very very rude to her, I mean I put ’er I was tough on ’er, I said Well uh-uh these guys think you could be in ’is movie could you d– Oh I don’t know if I can do a movie or not oh wha’do ya hafta do to do a movie. An’ I said Ya know I wan’ tell you the truth kid I don’t believe ya an’ I said Okay I’ll shoot some film on you will you read a scene. She says Well if somebody wants me to I will. So I wrote a scene.. ann’ I had her read it and she’s she was just phe’ was uh Grandma Moses. She was such a-a-a.. untrained truthful.. person. An’ then I shot I said I’m’onna shoot a test with ya an’ so I took her out under a statue in the park in Houston an’, and she had those eyelashes pain’ed on ’er face, an’ I just asked her questions an’ I tried to trip her up an’ I couldn’ she just was what she was so I cast her. She was very raw in um in-in the film, but she was.. she was quite mmmagic. After that film I did a film called McCabe An’ Misses Miller. An’ I decided to put her in as one of the uh a-a mail-order whore mail-order bri– w’bride for in the film, and sh-she came in she was the same na-ive naïve who she was an’ I said y’know th’ y-you’ve gotta act now an’ I said I don’t can’t tell ya how to act but you’re with a great actress here uh-uh Julie Christie, an’ere’s people around, s-says Think about it just think about it an’ think what is comfortable for you, an’ Julie kind of took her Julie Christie kin’ of took Shelley Duvall under her wing, an’ she directed her more than I did she helped her, an’ then of course we wen’ on to do.. I don’ I did seven films with uh Shelley Duvall I think.

Millie Lammoreaux: Huh?

Pinky Rose: Twins. Bet it’d be weird. Do you think they know which one they are?

Millie Lammoreaux: Sure they do. They’d have to wouldn’ they?

Pinky Rose: I don’know. Maybe they switch back an’ forth. You know one day.. Peggy’s Polly. Another day Polly’s Peggy. Who knows? Maybe they’re the same one all the time.

Millie Lammoreaux: Ts. Can we just talk about somethin’ else now?

Pinky Rose: Yeah. What.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): And it was hot. Now Millie wouldn’t wouldn’ dare sweat, cause Millie did everything.. right. Millie had the right deodorant. She had the I mean she read all the mm-agazines. An’-An’ she knew what she was how she was sposeda be an’ look and uh, uh because there was no Millie. She was trying to be what.. in today’s world she would’ve been a republican. Ha. Uh but she was she wan’ed to be where the majority of the people she felt that eh she would be accepted ’cause that’s all she wanted was is love.

Millie Lammoreaux: Not that way Pinky this way.

Millie Lammoreaux: Pinky. Pinky.! C’mon.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): I met an artist named Bodhi Wind. And uh I-I’d seen some of his drawings an’ so I-I when I got to Palm Springs we had these s-swimming pools that were empty. And uh so I got Bodi down Bodhi an’ I had him um paint those uh those figures in those kind of umm sexual monsters that were in the in the pools, an’ it was so hot in Palm Springs at that point that he couldn’ paint in the day time ’cause the paint would boil, mean it literally would-would boil. So he an’ his helpers about three of ’em that painted those uh thing, they would get up as soon as the sun would go down an’ they would work with lights an’ they’d work all night, an’ when the sun came up they had to quit, so that’s th’ way those paintings evolved in it. Bodhi Wind was a terrific artist, an’ he did but he d’ I had seen these figures uh that he had etched on glass, and uh I was quite taken by ’em an’ th-then an’ so I he-he later uh his-his shortly after that within four or five years he was uh killed in London stepping off the curb looking the wrong way, like so many people, but he was, his input into the film was v’ was very important those.. those images an’ I ha’ I think ’at also kind of reinforced or f-filled i-in that dream idea.

Millie Lammoreaux: Hi guys.

Edgar Hart: Pinky look out! Ohh boy, very close.

Millie Lammoreaux: Let’s shoot.

Joe: Seemed awful tight.

Millie Lammoreaux: Alright, lemme get a good aim on it.

Edgar Hart: Ready to go.

Millie Lammoreaux: Right in the—

Edgar Hart: Good.!

Robert Altman (audio commentary): This thing of shooting guns into a target eh I don’t un-understand it myself.

Millie Lammoreaux: The neck.

Edgar Hart: Hhh-hnhn the neck?! You killer. I’d rather face a thousand crazy savages than one woman who’s learned how to shoot.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): The film I made earlier.. I made a film called Images, uhh.. several years before this film, uh w’ Susannah York an’ we shot it in Ireland an’ it was about a.. exploring a woman’s psyche in a way. And uh after that film had been out a-a year or so I g– they asked me to speak an’ to address uhh some annual meeting of an association of psychiatrists an’ psychologists, to discuss the.. Jungian or Freudian whatever they called it aspects of uh Images an’ I-I said ah I’m v-very flattered by all this but.. anything that c’ is from mee that goes into both of these are films that I ’ave written eh that go into these films I said it’s something that comes out of my.. self an’ I don’know whether I’ve stolen them, lifted them, admired them, hated them, watched them, but I certainly never knoww that I’m doing those things at the time I’m doing them, an’ yet I know that we do that. Uh the slightest little thing can happen to ya, an’ if it made an impression it’ll stay in your head an’ it will effect the density or the-the-the-the color of all the rest of everything else. An’ I trust instinct more than I do.. study an’ memory, an’-an’ logical conclusions.

Millie Lammoreaux: No I been up for hours. Well I kinda got a tentative date for t’night, why? Really? Well ’s nothin’ I can’t get out of. I’ve stood this guy up so many times before an’ he just keeps comin’ back for more. Two extra guys huh? Are they cute? Oh yeah. She’s alright. ’s kinda quiet but she’s real nice. Kinda homey. No not homely homey. Okay. See ya t’night. Bye. ... Pinky wake up.

Pinky Rose: Wha’time is it?

Millie Lammoreaux: Early. I hope you don’t have any plans for t’night.

Pinky Rose: I don’t. Why?

Millie Lammoreaux: Well you remember my ex-roommate Deidre?

Pinky Rose: Uh-huh.

Millie Lammoreaux: Well she an’ her boyfriend an’ two other guys are comin’ over for dinner tonight.

Pinky Rose: Here?

Millie Lammoreaux: Sure. I’m famous for my dinner parties. Tell ya what. I’ll go an’ do the shoppin’, if you’ll clean up the apartment okay?

Edgar Hart: Yeah.

[Radio voice]: —questions—

Robert Altman (audio commentary): You tend to uh emulate people that you a-admire. If something impresses me, uhh enlightens me.. in a way, that’s what I wanna pass on. It’s something I say Yes yes that’s that’s the way it is.! An’ so, I was very really impressed with uh-uh Persona uh Fellini I love Fellini’s work an’ both of those guys but-but that’s y’know when people said ih-if they ask me What director influenced me the most in my work, I’ll say I don’t know his name, but he’s uh one of the hundreds of directors of films that I’ve seen that I thought were dreadful, an’ when I came out of seeing those films I would say Well, I’m never gonna do that, so that’s the biggest influence are people whose names I don’t know. The people whose names you do know an’ you say Oh I loved his work an’ that work. Kurosawa.. uh I mean I’ve taken shots from his films an’ used them in mine. B-Bergman gave me the confidence to be able to be.. quiet on a.. a person’s face an’ to give dignity or-or allow dignity for the character that that particular actor is playing. Uh Fellini instilled in me this uhh th-that y-you don’t have to go the normal route anything’s possible as long as it’s the it’s the dream of a of a young person.

Millie Lammoreaux: Pinkyy! Pinky would ya get the door for me. My hands are full. Pinkyy?

Robert Altman (audio commentary): Sh-Shelley had an input into all o’that. The apartment the clothes a’-an’ o’ course those menus were her own an’ she did the shopping for them. She went to the.. supermarket an’ picked out uh sprinklies or uh those little choc’late puddings an’ uh all o’these things that were they spilled an’-an’ o’ course when-when Pinky comes in an’ tries to get the-the top off to help an’ tries to get the top off of the of this shrimp cocktails, that red sauce wen’ all over the front of ’er.

IQ: The sound of a glass jar lip scraping against a cocktail sauce wet maybe muslin garment.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): I knew what Carrie was about an’ I was a little afraid of the uh uh o’ in that scene I was a little afraid about the Carrie because they had done that bucket of blood thing on ’er y’know so an’ I probly owe to that, a lot I don’know. But y’ow, everything that I do that anybody else does is not stolen but it comes from something you’ve seen or thought of or an’ it’s usually something that has occurred that has impressed you. So there is no protection Oh that’s–He stole my art. Ah ih-if somebody comes to me, Pa-Paul Thomas Anderson who is a terrific filmmaker, um came to me after his second or third I didn’ know him at all, an’-an’ I said God that’s a-a that’s pretty-pretty good film there ya did an’ he said Well I’m just rippin’ you off. He s’ All I do is rip you off. An’.. what I’m s’ trying to say here is that nobody can rip anybody any another artist off unless you falsely sign something. If I take his a picture that Pee-Tee-A would make an’ say put my name on it an’ say Oh I directed this, that’s theft. But when somebody takes something they’ve seen uh or something in one of my films has moved them to a certain way, that’s the highest form of flattery. So, I love it. You know uh-uh people tell me that what was T’ Clint Eastwood’s uh film uh The Unforgiven, uh won Academy Award an’ all ’at stuff they said Oh that’s just he just took McCabe An’ Misses Miller elements from ya that’s all. Well, I hope so. I mean I am I’m flattered to be um y’know, not imitated but that something that my art has done that has impressed another artist enough that y’ that it has influenced them, in a certain way. But I don’t think there I don’t think anything is original uh it’s-it’s all adaptation, y’know who inven’ed the wheel, who inven’ed the Ford Motor Car, where do ya start where do ya stop do you give it to Henry Ford or the guy who he got the money or the-the new Chrysler or whatever the.. the new Bee-Em-Double-U, but you really hafta go back to that the guy that started rolling a round stone around.

Mrs. Rose: So she jus’ fell off the railin’ an’ landed on ’er head?

Millie Lammoreaux: Yes ma’am.

Mrs. Rose: That’d be Pinky alright. She was always the fallin’ one. One time she was jumpin’ up an’ down on the bed an’ she fell off an’ hit her head on the wall an’ had to have stitches.

Millie Lammoreaux: I know she’ll wake up when she sees you.

Mrs. Rose: Sure does look like Texas.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): I r’ember the-the first film I was affected byy in terms that it wasn’ just a movie, uh was uh Brief Encounter. David Lean. I was probly twe-twen’y-one years old or twen’y years old an’ I remember walkin’ out o’that theater an’ after seein’ I was alone for some.. stra- I’m-I’m rarely alone. An’ I came outta there an’ I ih it was a ih an I walked in I said What is this movie about look at that Celia Johnson she’s a-a she’s an old lady in those sensible shoes that she’s wearing I mean how can anybody fall in love wi’ that. An hour later I was madly in love with her, an’ I walked out o’that theater I couldn’ get ’er out o’my mind. I thought This is what, this is what films are about. This is the same experience you get from literature an’ fromm art. An’ from it-it is art. So these are th-things that I just have actively stolen from, and um but you can’t steal because there’s nothing that Fellini, uh Kurosawa all o’ those uh Bergman the wholle group John Houston I-I probly am had was in- more influenced by his films than anybody, depends on what I’m thinkin’ about at the time. These are the things tha’ said Wow this is really this is real, this moves me.

Millie Lammoreaux: I don’know who she thinks she is. Pinky?. Your mom an’ dad are here.

Mrs. Rose: That’s Pinky alright. Jus’ look at ’er Wye-Ar. She’s purty as ever.

Mr. Rose: What’s wrong with ’er?

Mrs. Rose: Shhh. You’ll wake her up.

Millie Lammoreaux: She’s in a coma. All we can do now iss wait an’ see.

Mrs. Rose: Wye-Ar named ’er Pinky.

Mr. Rose: Why doesn’t she wake up?

Mrs. Rose: She’s sick. Where’s the present?

Robert Altman (audio commentary): If something makes me cryy.. then, I think more ’an likely itll make somebody else cry. If something makes me laugh... it’ll make somebody else laugh. ’cause I think we’re all I don’t think there’s six degrees of separation I think there’s about a half degree. I think we’re all so close to being the same person... that.. we exaggerate our individuality, because it’s ’bout the only thing we have.

Pinky Rose: But I told him we just had this little apartment an’.. it only had one bedroom.. so it was outta the question.

[Radio singer]: : —well I need you to guide me, an’ I need—

IQ: Pinky whisper:

Pinky Rose: One more coat.

[Radio singer]: : —your love to guide me, I—

Millie Lammoreaux: Maybe you should have your own bedroom.

[Radio singer]: : —lovin’ every dayyy—

Pinky Rose: Hueh, what are you gonna do move out on me?

Millie Lammoreaux: No. I could sleep on the rollaway bed. Did it all the time when Deirdre was here.

[Radio voice]: Just in on the [Heidi Hutchins style, Gunnex press Mike?]

Pinky Rose: You wouldn’ mind?

[Radio voice]: —took the stand today—

Millie Lammoreaux: No.

[Radio voice]: —in the first day of testimony. [Moses?] stated—

Pinky Rose: Are you sure?

[Radio voice]: —that the alleged murder weapon—

Millie Lammoreaux: Sure, I’m sure.

[Radio voice]: —unfired for years was so full of grease that it—

Pinky Rose: Okay.

[Radio voice]: —could’ve gone off at any time. During the defense—

Pinky Rose: Whatever you want.

[Radio voice]: —attorney Herbert—

Pinky Rose: I don’t care.

[Radio voice]: —repeatedly came back to this point. He also called [?] a misguided and pitiful attempt by the prosecution to tarnish his [?] reputation. The jury is expected to hand in its verdict late this month.

Millie Lammoreaux: Don’t you remember’er Doctor Maas, Pinky Rose. She’s all well now an’ she wants to come back to work.

Dr. Maas: Rose, I don’t, Lammoreaux Bunvveill’s in charge of personnel an’ if there’s no place for her here there’s no place for her.

Millie Lammoreaux: But she’s already worked here. She’s really good Doctor Maas. Everybody liked her. Really.

Pinky Rose: —ahh ha ha ah ah ah ahh, ah ah ah ah ah ahh, ah ah ah ah ah ahh, ah ah ah ah ah ah.

IQ: Favorite transition.

Dr. Maas: No, I do not think this was a simple mistake. The chances of her making up a Social Security number exactly the same as yours are very slim.

Ms. Bunweill: She maliciously gave me your number when she filled out her Double-U-Four.

Millie Lammoreaux: How could she if I didn’ even know her then.

Ms. Bunweill: Don’t get smart with me Lammoreaux you can’t fool me. She tol’ me she couldn’ remember her number and was gonna write home for it, an’ like a fool I believed ’er.

Millie Lammoreaux: So maybe she forgot to do it an’ just gave you mine instead. She didn’ mean anything bad by it. I don’know w’ makes it such a big deal she just a little kid.

Dr. Maas: I’ll tell you what makes it such a big deal. I do not want any discrepancies in these records I do not want government people coming in here an’ going through these books. I think Rose did this on purpose.

Ms. Bunweill: I didn’ trust her from the very minute I first laid eyes on her.

Millie Lammoreaux: She never did anything wrong on purpose. She’just scared of you that’s all. An’ then she almost died an’ nobody even cared around here. Youu’re the bad ones not Pinky. All you care about’s your time clock, an’ your money, an’ your dumb books. Well you don’t hafta worry about any Social Security numbers anymore because I quit. ’s a horrible job. An’ we don’t need it. Neither of us.

Millie Lammoreaux: Damn it. I don’t believe it. My car is gone. My car ’s been stolen.

[Cop #1]: Woww.

Tom Wilton: —your house the other day. We stopped by we were gonna have a drink or somethin’ but uh we were in a hurry an’ went on over to Edgar’s place.

Robert Altman (audio commentary): You know you can I can draw diagrams of this.. event Three Women, an’ all the ends connect for me. And they cross each other at the right time an’ it-it-it-it all uhh-h I-I understand it nah it may it may be pretentious, it may be pushing uhh uh ah you can’t speak that way I can’t speak in defense of-of-of one o’ my pain’ings, all I can do is say This is the way it looked to me.

[Cop #1]: Okay let’s see now—

Maybe she’ll move out an’ I can have the apartment to myself again. Paying the rent seems to be the only obstacle. I’m sure it will work itself out.

Millie Lammoreaux: Didn’ you tell me you grew up near Longview Texas?

 Diary

Robert Altman (audio commentary): So ’s th’ so these three women uh uhh-h they change, exchange an’ change personalidies through this film. The’ we had a French poster I-I don’t know the words in-in I can’t remember the words in French but the-the thing was uh the-the-the picture on it was Three Women an’ the little blurb in it was One.. woman became two. Two women became three. Three women became one. An’ I think that descriibes the film from my point of view better than anything.

IQ: The little blurb on the French poster:
1 femme devient 2
2 femmes deviennent 3
3 femmes deviennent 1

Google Translate:
1 woman becomes 2
2 women become 3
3 women become 1

Millie Lammoreaux: Edgar’s okay I guess, but he’s pretty old. At least he’s making me laugh. That’s more than I can say, for what’s-her-name. I’ve been wondering about my parents a lot lately, who they were, what they did. Maybe I can trace them someday. Lammoreaux is a pretty unusual name. I bet it’s French.

Pinky Rose: How dare you read my diary. Don’t you EVER touch it again. Do you hear me?

Robert Altman (audio commentary): Those were d– all o’ those images that took place in-in that dream sequence were shot uh they weren’t shot for that reason. They were other shots from the film that we rephotographed uhh we reimaged in a funny way we took contrast out or put contrast in or something an’ then we p-put them together. I don’know how satisfactory that dream sequence uh was, or is. I thought it was.. probly a little amateurish, certainly c- uh that’s something that coulda been done better, if I were to pick out a spot in the film where I think uh What was the weakest.. thing. Eh now I don’t mean that everybody’s gonna agree with me on that they might think the-the weakest thing was when I woke up that morning an’ started it, but the weakest thing to me was the dream sequence I thought it was.. a little probly pretentious an’ contrived an’ I um I don’t think I would’ve done it that way.. a year later. These are all jus’ tools, y’know so it doesn’t make any difference you can’t criticize having the tools an’ you can’t criticize not having the tools, because th-they are what are, and uh an’ we have to deal, or we can deal with what’s there so, i’s just what happened at that time.
