right?
You're not attacked by a creep
at 5 years old and all right.
I'm sorry.
Doris, I wasn't there!
I wasn't fucking there!
What about your father?
I happen to be between
fathers right now.
What does that mean?
You got to understand something.
You got to understand
the Puerto Rican woman.
She thinks about
the kids...
...how they gotta have a father.
Love has nothing to do with it.
My mom has an extra room.
She rents it out.
Next thing you know,
I've got a new father.
They're all right, mostly.
They may stay a day...
...or a week or a month,
if we're lucky.
Sometimes they even pay the rent.
They keep out all the rats.
Not animal- type rats.
I'm talking about real rats...
...the junkies and the winos...
...and the shitheads
and the people who beat up...
...little 5- year- old kids.
I got three sisters, see?
One of them, Maria, she's
in kind of a special place.
We see her a couple times a year.
She's got a birth defect.
That's a goddamn lie.
That's a goddamn lie!
Want to know about my father?
My first fucking father?
He ain't no special shit.
He's in New York State Penitentiary.
He's doing time.
I remember this one night
he got bothered...
...because I was making her laugh.
I was telling her stories.
It was just kid stuff.
Flying carpets and dragons.
And he got mad
because she was laughing!
And he said I was telling her lies.
And this one night...
...he got bothered.
He's beating me
and coming down on me...
...I said, "I make her laugh. "
That's not a lie, that's a gift,
goddamn it.
He can't do it.
He said if he can't do it,
he sure as shit's gonna stop it.
And he went for me, and...
...she got in the way
all of a sudden, and...
...he put her head inside a fucking wall.
If it was my fucking head,
it would've been all right...
...but it wasn't. It was hers!
If it was my fucking fat head,
it would've been all right.
She's a beautiful kid.
She's 5 fucking years old.
She's got a pretty little laugh.
She still laughs, as a matter of fact.
Barbra Streisand didn't
change her name.
- I don't want to talk about it.
- I'll call you Doris, like always.
I won't answer.
- It's a perfectly good name.
- For a perfectly good person.
A skinny, boring, nondescript,
perfectly good person.
I have a lot of friends named Doris,
and they are none of those things.
- Yeah, but they're all- -
- What?
No, no, no. Say it. Go ahead. Say it!
I would like to know what my daughter
thinks is wrong with my friends.
I don't want a middle- aged name.
I can't relate to it.
You can call me Dominique.
Dominique.
- That's ridiculous.
- It's French.
- I know what it is, but it's not you.
- I'll grow into it.
- Dominique Finsecker?
- No. Dominique Dupont.
- Sounds like a hooker.
- Oh, Mama.
I don't know what's happening to you.
Tell me what's happening to you.
Where did my Doris go?
Something wonderful is happening
to me, Mama. I'm growing up.
You're becoming somebody else.
- I'm becoming an actress.
- I want you to be the Doris that I know.
That I love. That helps
me with the groceries.
Makes me birthday cards...
...out of Cheerio packets, huh?
Not Dominique...
...who stays out all night.
Oh, Mama.
And gets pregnant.
Or has an abortion, God forbid.
Now, Dominique, she'd be smart.
But my Doris...
...she's dumb enough
to get knocked up- -
Mama, it was just one night!
That's all it takes.
We'd like to welcome everyone to
