Daisy: Give me the Valium.
Lisa: We don’t need your daddy’s money.
Daisy: Then leave it there, just give me the fucking Valium.
(She extends her hand to Lisa and Lisa grabs her arm and pulls up the sleeve of her robe to reveal a badly-cut arm.)
Lisa: What’s this?
Daisy: (struggles to get free) Let go.
Lisa: What’s this, huh? Trying out your new silver?
Daisy: Get the fuck off me! (frees herself from Lisa’s grip and starts for the stairs)
Lisa: Less appealing for Daddy, hmm?
Susanna: Lisa…?
Daisy: Look at your own arm, asshole.
Lisa: I’m sick, Daisy, we know that, but here you are in so-called recovery, playing Betty Crocker, cut up like a goddamned Virginia Ham.
Susanna: Lisa, just stop it!
Lisa: (sits on a chair, holding her cigarette) Help me understand, Dais, ’cause I thought you didn’t do Valium. Tell me how the safety net is working for you…Tell me that you don’t take that blade and drag it across your skin and pray for the courage to press down. Tell me how your Daddy…
Susanna: (under breath) Christ.
Lisa: …helps you cope with that. Illuminate me.
Daisy: My father loves me.
Lisa: (nodding) I bet…with every inch of his manhood.
Susanna: (disgusted) Oh, God.
Daisy: I’m going to sleep now.
(Daisy walks upstairs. Lisa rocks back on chair and takes a drag on the cigarette.)
Daisy: Please be gone in the morning. You’re just jealous, Lisa, because I got better. Because I was released. Because I have a chance… at a life.
Lisa: They didn’t release you because you’re better, Daisy. They just gave up. You call this a life, hmm? Taking daddy’s money, buying your dollies and your knick-knacks, and eating his fucking chicken, fattening up like a prize fucking heifer? You changed the scenery, but not the fucking situation, and the warden makes house calls. And everybody knows… everybody knows (runs tongue across teeth) that he fucks you. But what they don’t know, is that you like it. Hmm? You like it.
Susanna: Shut the fuck up!
Lisa: But hey, man, it’s cool. It’s fine! It’s fucking fine! A man is a dick, is a man is a dick, is a chicken. Valium, speculum, whatever, hmm? Whatever. You like being Mrs. Randone. Probably all you’ve ever known.
Daisy: Have fun in Florida.
(Lisa gets up, moves to another chair, takes another drag and giggles.)
Lisa: Yeah.
Jon Voight: Angelina has “Mental Problems”
Jon Voight says Angelina needs to get help. The actor says his daughter has ”mental problems,” that he knew her marriage to Billy Bob Thornton was doomed, and that he hasn’t seen his grandson
By Gary Susman | Aug 02, 2002
In an emotional interview on Thursday’s ”Access Hollywood,” Jon Voight went public about his estrangement from daughter Angelina Jolie, pleading with her fans and handlers to see that she gets help for unspecified ”mental problems” now that she’s split with husband Billy Bob Thornton. He blamed himself for failure to act on her behalf, and he also begged his daughter to let him see his grandchild, the baby she and Thornton adopted just months before she filed for divorce last month.
Voight says his daughter, who won an Oscar for playing a mental patient in ”Girl, Interrupted,” began showing signs of mental illness as an infant. (He divorced Jolie’s mother before their daughter was a year old but says he remained a presence in her life.) He said he was ”brokenhearted…because I’ve been trying to reach my daughter and get her help, and I have failed and I’m sorry. Really I haven’t come forward and addressed the serious mental problems she has spoken about so candidly to the press over the years, but I’ve tried behind the scenes in every way.”
He said he had confronted his daughter a number of times. During the making of ”Girl,” he said she told him, ”You can’t help me! You can’t help my pain!” They had a brief reconciliation when they worked together on ”Lara Croft: Tomb Raider,” but it didn’t last. He said he tried to greet her recently at a Hollywood party, but her manager blocked him and said, ”She doesn’t want to see you.” (The manager tells the story differently, telling ”Access Hollywood” that he interceded because Voight ”aggressively, physically grabbed her against her will.”)
Because of his estrangement from his daughter, Voight said he hadn’t yet seen his grandson, Maddox, the year-old Cambodian boy Jolie and Thornton brought back to the U.S. in May. ”That is the greatest pain,” he said. ”I’d love to help out with the baby.”
Billy Bob Thornton, Voight’s son-in-law of two years, has problems too, Voight said. ”I never had the feeling that they were going to make it because of both of their serious problems, and they’ve both been very public about them, so I never really held out any hope.”
Jolie responded to Voight’s comments in a statement, saying ”I don’t want to make public the reasons for my bad relationship with my father. I will only say that, like every child, [brother] Jamie and I would have loved to have had a warm and loving relationship with our dad. After all these years, I have determined that it is not healthy for me to be around my father, especially now that I am responsible for my own child.”
Jolie is currently preparing to shoot the ”Tomb Raider” sequel, and producer Lawrence Gordon told ”Access Hollywood” that he was unaware of any problems she had that would jeopardize the big-budget franchise. ”I have an excellent team around her,” Gordon said. ”If there was a problem, I would know it.”
