Narrator: Some fairy tales are true. Most other stories we make up to help us deal with real life. It all
depends on your point of view, but here are the facts. There was once a princess who lived in a castle high
above the streets of an enchanted kingdom. The king and queen were long gone, but they left her with their
treasure so that she could stay a princess forever. On the eve of her 22nd birthday, a great celebration was
planned.

Molly: I don't know. Can you say... "Pez"?
124. 00:13:01,260 to 00:13:09,090

Neal: I'm just not supposed to act impulsively, you know? Part of my whole sobriety thing. Made a vow,
haven't broken it yet.

Molly: Pez.
128. 00:13:29,220 to 00:13:44,100

Neal: It's called the Law of Contrary Behaviour . If I want a drink, I don't have one. If I want to skip a gig, I
force myself to go. If I meet a girl and I want her to come over... I send her home.

Neal: It's the most lyrically advanced thing I've done.
134. 00:14:32,020 to 00:14:41,180

Molly: No, purple means rock 'n' roll royalty, and it picks up the highlights in your eyes. You're too hot for
those earth tones you've been wearing.
135. 00:14:41,260 to 00:14:44,820

Neal: What about the song? Is it too fast, too slow, what?
136. 00:14:44,890 to 00:14:55,060
Molly: It's kind of like the same thing over and over again. Is there, like, a hook or a good chorus or
something?
137. 00:14:55,140 to 00:14:56,630

Neal: A hook?
Molly: Yeah.
138. 00:14:56,710 to 00:14:59,200

Molly: Okay.

want me missing any more school. When they came to my room to say good-bye. I wouldn't open the door,
so they left. I fell asleep. The next thing I knew... my nanny was waking me up in the middle of the night

were like these blobs. Then they started to grow fangs... and their eyes became green. I knew I had to run
away. I packed my knapsack, got on the train, looked up at the map, and decided that I wanted to live in
Coney Island. I thought it was gonna be a real island... and I could hide away there like Tom Sawyer and
Huckleberry Finn. Imagine my surprise. The Teacups was the only ride they'd let me on by myself. I got on
it and started spinning myself round and round. I feel like I'm still there, spinning round and round and
round, and the ride won't stop, and I won't dare get off. You were right, Ray. I am scared. But you're scared,

573. 01:13:23,030 to 01:13:27,670

Molly: Why don't you take one step sideways? Then we can stop doing this silly little dance.
(OFF RECORD POLITENESS STRATEGY: GIVE HINTS SUB STRATEGY)
574. 01:13:29,810 to 01:13:37,040

Neal: So that's the Molly M.O. When I'm not ready, you hunt me down. When I try and make it work, you're
not interested.
575. 01:13:39,480 to 01:14:01,900

Molly: Ever since we met, it's about what I'm doing wrong... but I'm not the one with the problem. You are,
you and your selfishness. All you do is take. I've got nothing for you right now, so... maybe it's time to start
thinking about someone other than yourself. Till then...
576. 01:14:11,850 to 01:14:26,290

Auctioneer: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. Now we'll start the bidding on this important collection
representing a vital chapter in American musical history. Tommy Gunn was an essential member of several
landmark bands. He scored a solo hit with "Molly Smiles"...
577. 01:14:26,360 to 01:14:29,730

Molly: Maybe we should wait a few minutes till everyone shows up.
578. 01:14:29,800 to 01:14:42,370

Auctioneer: I'm afraid this is about as good as it's going to get. We have here Tommy Gunn's signature
acoustic, which he played with his first band in Haight-Ashbury. Bidding starts at $2,500. Do I hear $2,500?
579. 01:14:42,440 to 01:14:44,440

Auctioneer: 2,500.
Participant 1: I have $2,500.
580. 01:14:44,510 to 01:14:46,410

Auctioneer: Do I hear $2,600?
Participant 2: 2,500?
581. 01:14:46,480 to 01:14:48,070

Participant 2: 2,600.
Auctioneer: Thank you.
582. 01:14:48,150 to 01:14:49,480

Molly: 2,500?
583. 01:14:49,550 to 01:14:58,950
Committee: I'm sorry. We put out feelers, but unfortunately the excitement generated by Mr. Gunn's
memorabilia fell somewhat short of expectations.
(NEGATIVE POLITENESS STRATEGY: NOMINALIZE SUB STRATEGY)
584. 01:14:59,030 to 01:15:00,120

Participant 3: I have 3,000.
585. 01:15:00,200 to 01:15:02,220

Auctioneer: 3,000 going once,
586. 01:15:02,300 to 01:15:03,730

Participant 4: 3,000 going twice...
587. 01:15:03,800 to 01:15:12,230

Phone Auctioneer: 75,000! I have an offer of 75,000... from a buyer who wishes to remain anonymous... for
the entire collection.
588. 01:15:18,450 to 01:15:24,210

Auctioneer: Well? What do you say? It's up to you.
589. 01:15:24,920 to 01:15:30,120

Committee: Frankly, I can't envision a much better result from selling it off piecemeal.
590. 01:15:30,730 to 01:15:39,490

Molly: This is everything that he's left behind in the whole world. This is my dad.
591. 01:15:40,270 to 01:15:41,460

Committee: I'm sorry.
592. 01:15:47,740 to 01:15:50,040

Molly: Just get rid of it.
593. 01:15:58,890 to 01:16:04,690

Huey: Molly, where are you taking me? The fellas are waiting for us at the club.
594. 01:16:04,760 to 01:16:09,360

Molly: The fellas can wait, Huey. This is important.
595. 01:16:09,430 to 01:16:15,100

Huey: Hold up. Molly, please. They better have a defibrillator up there.

598. 01:16:29,380 to 01:16:52,060

Molly: This way is the kitchen area, and over here in this direction, you'll find the very private, secluded
bathroom section. Fabulous, huh? You're standing in the living room, which, coincidentally, happens to be...
the bedroom. It's got potential, huh?
599. 01:16:52,140 to 01:16:57,240

Huey: As a detention cell for convicted felons, maybe. Molly, this isn't you.
600. 01:16:57,310 to 01:16:59,580

Molly: I can't afford me anymore, Huey.
601. 01:16:59,650 to 01:17:02,410

Huey: Nobody's kicking you out. You can still stay with me.
602. 01:17:02,480 to 01:17:07,290

Molly: I really have to stand on my own two feet right now, okay?

Huey: Okay.
604. 01:17:12,430 to 01:17:18,800

Molly: Roma? Hi. It's Molly.
609. 01:17:29,240 to 01:17:53,130

Roma: Miss Gunn, I know that you've been let go, but is there any chance that you've seen my daughter
today? Are you sure? Ray didn't come home from school. She's been missing ever since. I thought that she
might have... If you hear from her, please let me know.
610. 01:17:53,970 to 01:17:55,770

Molly: Huey, talk to her.
611. 01:18:06,950 to 01:18:09,710

Celebrity 1: Good to meet you.
Molly: Same here.
618. 01:20:54,020 to 01:20:57,710

Celebrity 1: I saw that kid Neal Fox's video. Didn't you create his look?
619. 01:20:57,790 to 01:21:00,650

Molly: No, I just fixed his jacket.
620. 01:21:00,720 to 01:21:03,160

Celebrity 1: I don't know why everybody's talking about it.
621. 01:21:03,230 to 01:21:07,730

Celebrity 2: Do you do pants, too? Cool leather ones that aren't over the top?
622. 01:21:07,800 to 01:21:12,590

Celebrity 1: I'm hoping you can hook me up with a jacket. Not the same one, obviously, but with a similar
vibe.
623. 01:21:12,670 to 01:21:18,370

Molly: Guys, thank you. You're very sweet. It was sort of a big accident, yeah.

Ray: You can have your job back, you know.
635. 01:22:40,520 to 01:22:49,600

Molly: I don't think so. You and I... we're gonna be friends. Okay?
636. 01:22:52,030 to 01:22:54,930

Ray: Grownups never stay friends with kids.

Molly: I've always thought of myself as a people person.
641. 01:23:12,950 to 01:23:25,230

Interviewer: Most Fashion Institute applicants would kill for references like yours. Seems to me you could
skip school and find work with one of your designer friends. It would be more fun than toiling away here for
four years.

642. 01:23:25,300 to 01:23:52,920

647. 01:24:22,590 to 01:24:24,890

Molly: Are you okay?
MC: By Laraine Schleine.
648. 01:24:34,000 to 01:24:39,840

MC: And to accompany Miss Schleine, we are pleased to present a very special guest.
649. 01:25:00,660 to 01:25:25,920

Neal: How's it going? There's someone here today who lent us a bit of her magic, and now we'd like to give
some of it back. This was Tommy Gunn's favorite guitar, and I'm going to sing you the song he wrote for his
favorite person in the world. This one goes out to Molly Gunn.
