it's still available i hope?
i'm a licensed cosmetologist, i worked for two years, at the "dino raphael" salon, all my customers cried when i told them i was leaving.
i have a wonderful disposition, i put people right at ease.
they're dead?
stiffs??
the add just said "makeup artist"
yes it is.
hello.
oh.
excuse me, what about the job?
i need the job.
ohh, oh sure it's no big deal, you see all my former clients will eventually die, and all your clients used to be alive, so they have something in common.
okay mr. sultenfuss, you got a deal.
i promise i'll take good care of these people, they deserve it, they're dead, all they've got left is their looks.
excuse me harry, i finished mr. layton's hair. he kinda looked.  harry, what's wrong with her??
who's winning?
you know vada, you shouldn't let those girls upset you.
want a piece of chocolate?
thomas j?
to chocolate?
chocolate?
ooh, that's a pretty ring you're wearing.
maybe black means you're happy?
i think you'd make a fine writer, did you ask your dad?
well you don't know that. ask him.
vada? vada?? what happened??
come on sweetie.
excuse me harry?
could you take a look at mrs. porter?
yeah,
you don't like it?
i think she looks nice! her lips are very thin so i used the gloss to give them a more sensual quality, and her eyes just needed a little definition, and her hair, i'm sorry, nobody wears this hairdo anymore in 1972.
i just wanted to get past this "old school marm" image.
harry? i was just wondering, if there is anything wrong with vada.
well the other night at dinner.
i don't think so, i think she's confused about death.
harry, i really think she.
hi.
sure. i'll give you the royal tour.
uh huh.
liverpool?
ohh, right. would you like a soda?
thomas?
oh! you shouldn't be looking at that, it's a little too old for you.
uh huh.
mostly love, and romance.
they're just fun to read.
no, i'm divorced.
well, sometimes married people just find out they can't live with each other.
with bottle of soda in mouth hmmmph gurgle gurgle.
well, i guess you found my secret hiding place.
nothing in particular, just putting it away for a rainy day.
bye. well miss vada, what d'you say we head back?
sure.
okay.
excuse me harry, i'm sorry, i just wanna let you know that the flowers were delivered. and the room's all set up.
i shouldn't stick my nose in other people's business. it's just that i like vada, very much.
i'm sure she will.
hi.
nothing, i was just wondering what you were doing.
oh right, right, . bader lorenzo died june 22 1972 devoted husband to nicolette. cherished father of babritzio and heidi, in lieu of flowers, please send donations to the holy names society.
no kidding?
oh it's good, "in lieu of" i love that word lieu.
in lieu.  "instead".  no contest.
you have to learn how to take a complement. movies, movies, ahhhh, "love story" at the drive in, i cried my eyes out, did you see it?
i love going to movies, especially at the drive in. i don't think there's anything more romantic than going to the drive in. i'll let you get back to work.
okay.
hi vada.
no.
a girl's always gotta look her best.
have you ever tried any?
come here, sit down.
now, first we blot.
take a look. i think it looks real nice on you.
yes, vada i think you're very pretty. you've got these great big sparkling eyes, the cutest little nose, an amazing mouth.
they'll come around. close your eyes, i wanna bring out the gorgeous color in them. the first rule in applying eye makeup, is you can never wear enough blue eye shadow.
uh huh, i've been trying to get out to hollywood for years to do makeup for all the stars, i haven't gotten there yet. all right, open your eyes.
does it make it easier to win?
oh great!
aarrggh.
i just had a terrible thought harry.
i'm gonna be putting makeup on some of these people very soon.
oh, i'm just not lucky harry.
kinda like men.
you can be in a room with 100 men, and not like any of them, or you can be in a room with just one man, and he's exactly the one you want.
i had a good time tonight.
would you like to come in and see my house? just for a minute.
home sweet home.
i did it myself. i read a magazine article about how to maximize small spaces.
you can look in the bathroom if you want. people are always curious about that, like what happens when you flush.
are you mad at me?
i don't know, tonight you just seemed a little cool, not opening car doors and.
what happened to her?
did she ever see vada?
dance with me?
this is where we are.
in ages, i know, me neither.
see, you're not that out of touch. you're good.
what are you wearing?
do you want to?
kiss me.
good.
good at kissing, and dancing, i'm very optimistic.
it's only eight o'clock.
goodnight.
well, i guess it's official we had a date, maybe we can play bingo again sometime.
goodnight.
hey, i thought i recognized you two, hi vada.
yeah, me too, mind if i tag along?
it's for shelly's famous potato salad.
you know this is gonna be my first 4th of july picnic in a long time.
how's it going chef?
rub a dub dub, thanks for the grub, yay god.
uh huh, why?
that's attractive.
oh shit! excuse me.
danny, what are you doing here?
hi ralph. oh danny, how'd you find me here?
no! _i_ bought it, _i_ paid for it.
i've been living in it for over a year, the camper is mine.
keep your voice down!
the boss is watching us.
god i guess i'll have to introduce you now.
this is harry, phil, grammoo and vada sultenfuss.
this is danny and ralph, they own the dino raphael salon in detroit. we used to be married.
ex. ex, ex.
honestly harry, he got the mustang, i promise.
danny that's a real _bonehead_ thing to say!
stop it! that hurts!!
bye ralph.
well, you were pretty great!
can we see it from the back yard?
pointing upwards look.
i would never marry anybody i didn't love.
so vada, what's your favorite ride?
i don't think that that roller coaster agreed with your bad stomach. you know vada you have to watch what you eat here, i remember one time i went to a carnival with my cousins david and frank, and they both ate hot dogs, and the next day they came down with nephritis.
well, i'm no doctor. all i know is, the next day they had really high fevers, and their faces got very fat. they baffled medical science, they were in a magazine.
they were!! "popular mechanics", no "popular science". i don't know, popular.
oh look they're trying to hit that poor thing.
perfect.
oh great!!
oh vada, that's a gorgeous goldfish.
vada we have something to tell you. harry?
vada? would you like us to get you another goldfish?
oh bumper cars, oh you can't go to a carnival and not ride the bumper cars.
oh great vada, come on.
uhh, two. i got the blue one!!
yes!!
i am gonna get you.
vada, vada, what's the matter?
well he just left, what's wrong?
what do you mean you're hemorrhaging?
vada, did this happen in the bathroom?
how old are you?
it's okay, come on upstairs, we have to have a little talk.
it's actually a very beautiful thing, and look there wouldn't have been a vada.
believe me, some day, you'll feel differently.
knocks vada?
hi.
yes she is, but she's very upset, so she's not seeing anyone.
well maybe she'll feel better in a couple of days.
sure.
bye.
vada? i see you took your tray in,
she won't come out. it's been a whole day. you have to do something harry.
open your eyes, she's eleven years old! her only friend in the world is dead.
stop hiding harry, you run harry. when i first came here, the idea of working with dead people, didn't exactly thrill me, but when i saw a family lived here, i thought, "if i'm living without a family, at least i can work with one, and maybe once in a while i'll be invited in for supper."
i'm not asking you to stop feeling for those people. but life isn't just death harry, don't ignore the living, especially your daughter.
it's dark, she can't be alone in the dark.
we, no, we've been looking since this morning, her teacher called, and he said that she went there first.
but i.
vada. are you okay? oh god.
i'm sure he knew.
it's okay sweetheart.
i'll tell you what, you dedicate your first book to me, and we'll forget about the whole thing.
okay, get in to bed.
goodnight.
she's in.
