Before she enters her sophomore year in high school, she spends the summer moping around her family farmhouse. She suffers from the put-downs of her mother, Katherine, while hearing nothing but praise for her older sister, June. Her father, Harry, somehow manages to float around the family tensions. Connie also helps paint the cottage, just as her mother constantly demands. </p><p>Connie passes the time cruising the local shopping mall with her friends and flirting with boys. However, when an actual date leads to heavy petting, she escapes from the boy's car. She frequents a hamburger joint popular with locals, where unbeknownst to her, an older man observes her with interest. One night as she leaves, the man playfully tells Connie, "I'm watching you!" Connie and her mother get into an argument about her going out at night and being careful with whom she flirts, which results in Katherine slapping Connie when she brings up how Katherine became a young mother. Connie declines to attend a barbecue with her family that afternoon and is left alone in the house. </p><p>Later, the same man who was watching Connie approaches the house in a 1960s convertible. The side of his car is painted with the name "Arnold Friend" which he claims is his real name. Besides dressing and behaving like <a href="/wiki/James_Dean" title="James Dean">James Dean</a>, he also name-drops several <a href="/wiki/Teenybopper" title="Teenybopper">teenybopper</a> acts, even though he appears to be in his thirties. Although he initially comes off as kind and friendly, he gradually adopts a sinister demeanor, alternating between speaking to Connie in a warm, seductive voice and shouting insults to his fellow car passenger when he inquires about a phone. Arnold informs Connie about how he has been watching her and that he knows all about her, recounting the details of her family's barbecue plans with startling accuracy. He then begins speaking about how he could be her lover. Connie orders him to leave, but he coerces her into going on a drive with him by threatening to burn down the house. His friend stays behind as they head off in his car. </p><p>When Connie returns home, she is bewildered and disheveled and informs Arnold that she never wants to see him again. It is left ambiguous whether or not he raped her; it is implied that she isn't the same person she was at the film's beginning. When Connie's family returns from the barbecue, her mother tearfully apologizes to her for slapping her earlier that day, but Connie reassures her that everything is all right. At the film's ending, she doesn't inform June about what happened, but dances with her to <a href="/wiki/James_Taylor" title="James Taylor">James Taylor</a>'s recording of the song "<a href="/wiki/Handy_Man_(song)" title="Handy Man (song)">Handy Man</a>". </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Smooth_Talk&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Treat_Williams" title="Treat Williams">Treat Williams</a> as Arnold Friend</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Laura_Dern" title="Laura Dern">Laura Dern</a> as Connie Wyatt</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Mary_Kay_Place" title="Mary Kay Place">Mary Kay Place</a> as Katherine Wyatt</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Elizabeth_Berridge_(actress)" title="Elizabeth Berridge (actress)">Elizabeth Berridge</a> as June Wyatt</li> <li><a href="/wiki/Levon_Helm" title="Levon Helm">Levon Helm</a> as Harry Wyatt</li></ul></div> <p>In addition, Connie's friends are played by Margaret Welsh as Laura and Sara Inglis as Jill. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Production">Production</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Smooth_Talk&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The short story "<a href="/wiki/Where_Are_You_Going,_Where_Have_You_Been%3F" title="Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?">Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?</a>" by <a href="/wiki/Joyce_Carol_Oates" title="Joyce Carol Oates">Joyce Carol Oates</a> was adapted by playwright <a href="/wiki/Tom_Cole_(writer)" title="Tom Cole (writer)">Tom Cole</a>, <a href="/wiki/Joyce_Chopra" title="Joyce Chopra">Joyce Chopra</a>'s husband.
