00:00:30Wouldn't it be perfect if it rained?
00:01:00Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:01:30Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
00:02:00Oh
00:02:19nothing fancy
00:02:24just a bit
00:02:30It's your time, sir.
00:02:35Is that him?
00:02:37Like you expected?
00:02:40God, doesn't he look old?
00:02:43Good god.
00:02:44The light...
00:02:48will be alright.
00:03:00This is the gentleman, I presume?
00:03:28Uh, yes, sir. Apparently.
00:03:35My arms are tired. Let's go inside so I can put this turkey down.
00:03:39Of course.
00:03:49When do the others get here?
00:03:52Tomorrow.
00:03:57Well, perhaps the boy and I will go shooting.
00:04:00If one of us takes a quail, would you cook it?
00:04:04I want to go shooting.
00:04:06Catherine needs help in the kitchen.
00:04:11I'll show you up.
00:04:12There's no need.
00:04:14The bathroom is just across the hall.
00:04:17I know.
00:04:20Of course you do.
00:04:24I would have loved to grow up here.
00:04:31I'm sorry.
00:04:33I'm sorry.
00:04:35I'm sorry.
00:04:37I'm sorry.
00:04:39I'm sorry.
00:04:41I'm sorry.
00:04:43If you're tired or just don't want to shoot a poor little bird barret, you can take a nap.
00:04:49Roan won't mind.
00:04:51I'm fine.
00:04:53I look worse than I feel, but I might need to borrow some boots.
00:04:57I don't have the right shoes for the mud.
00:04:59We can just steal some from Roan. What size are you?
00:05:03Ten and a half.
00:05:05How perfectly perfect.
00:05:14These sheets itch.
00:05:19You're not on the sheets.
00:05:43Track the eagle in the sky
00:05:55Don't look down, keep an eye
00:06:03For if you do, you can't receive
00:06:10The message is
00:06:13Oh, I feel sick about it, Sloane.
00:06:15About hunting?
00:06:18Not the whole thing.
00:06:20If I stand up
00:06:25What's the matter?
00:06:30It should be you.
00:06:31Climb your ladder
00:06:37So you can see
00:06:41The mess that lies beneath you and me
00:06:45My cello's here somewhere.
00:06:48My old cello.
00:06:55See if those fit.
00:07:07Look, they were made for me.
00:07:08How wonderful.
00:07:13Roan and I are going to hunt her.
00:07:15They don't know how fast I can run.
00:07:19Roan's waiting for you in the shop.
00:07:37You're from here originally?
00:07:43Originally, yes.
00:07:47There's something left of it in your voice.
00:07:50Is there?
00:07:53If you haven't shot it, don't tell me.
00:09:07I have the filling for the pumpkin pie done, but...
00:09:12Let's do a strawberry rhubarb, too.
00:09:15You could cut the strawberries.
00:09:17They're in the refrigerator.
00:09:37The knives are where they've always been.
00:09:42I haven't rearranged anything.
00:09:45Your mother was so logical.
00:09:48I admire that.
00:10:07Would you mind using a cutting board, darling?
00:10:11You'll mark up the counter.
00:10:37You done much shooting?
00:10:40I'm not at liberty to say.
00:10:44I must be rough for a city boy.
00:10:48My generation is part of the country.
00:10:52We went into the army.
00:10:55Where did you serve?
00:10:58Germany.
00:11:00We're going to make a roux for the gravy.
00:11:05And then cut it with the drippings.
00:11:07You know that room?
00:11:09You and my father share.
00:11:11That's where my mother died.
00:11:16But I suppose you know that already.
00:11:23You are in and out of the house.
00:11:26You are in and out of the house.
00:11:29You know that.
00:11:33I was at the funeral, you remember.
00:11:35People kept coming up to me and saying,
00:11:37how nice and helpful you've been.
00:11:40Always in and out of the house.
00:11:43In and out of the house.
00:11:46And look at you now.
00:11:48It's your house.
00:11:50The nurse has moved in.
00:11:53Have you made a roux?
00:11:55Some people add the flour too quickly and ruin it.
00:12:01It must be hard to sleep here sometimes.
00:12:05You can't get those lumps out once they form.
00:12:08I hope you changed the mattress on that bed
00:12:10before you started sleeping in it.
00:12:12Even the dog wouldn't go into there after she got sick.
00:12:15He'd just stand at the door and bark.
00:12:18You remember the dog we had, the black lab?
00:12:21Jake.
00:12:23The day of the funeral,
00:12:25he was bit by a snake.
00:12:28And his face swelled up
00:12:31so much that the skin burst.
00:12:37I came home from the mortuary
00:12:39and just found him lying in the yard.
00:12:44I didn't even think to help him.
00:12:50Isn't that just like you?
00:12:53So helpful.
00:12:55So wonderfully helpful.
00:12:59Where the hell were you the whole time?
00:13:04In California?
00:13:06In school?
00:13:08Lying on a couch somewhere with a hangover?
00:13:11You know, my husband died too.
00:13:14You remember, Robert.
00:13:16The cancer started in his jaw
00:13:19and then spread all around.
00:13:20All around.
00:13:23They cut away most of his face by the end.
00:13:27So if we're going to talk about monsters and the like,
00:13:31I'm happy to compete with you.
00:13:33Believe me, I can compete with you.
00:13:39But I'd rather make dinner.
00:13:43If you want to be helpless,
00:13:46you can go expire in your room.
00:13:51Did Robert know about you in Rome?
00:13:59My mother knew.
00:14:00My mother knew.
00:14:19How long have you known Sloane?
00:14:23Long enough.
00:14:27I hardly know what she does out there.
00:14:31I'm not allowed to disapprove.
00:14:39These are nice guns.
00:14:42They get the job done.
00:14:55How the hell
00:14:57would you know what was going on in this house?
00:14:59Don't you try to put your guilt on me.
00:15:02I won't stand for it.
00:15:04Not another second.
00:15:06If you think that you can come in here
00:15:09and try to reclaim this house
00:15:11with your little paso jabs and your little pinpricks,
00:15:14I can just as soon call the car and send you home.
00:15:23I don't expect
00:15:25you to know how horrible it was.
00:15:27You weren't here.
00:15:31Not till the very end,
00:15:33and that's the easiest time to come,
00:15:36when everyone else has waded through the god-awful mess.
00:15:53Put the butt of your shotgun
00:15:55in your shoulder, that's it.
00:15:57No, but keep the barrel down.
00:16:00Now, if something flies out,
00:16:02you're gonna sight it with both your eyes,
00:16:05lift your weapon,
00:16:07center the bead in your vision,
00:16:10and fire.
00:16:13I'll do my best, sir.
00:16:15What am I shooting at, the ground?
00:16:17Well, you never shoot at the ground.
00:16:20You're liable to hit a stone.
00:16:22You send something right back in your face.
00:16:23Now, my dog Jake used to do this,
00:16:26but I've got to do it now myself.
00:16:28I'm gonna go out here,
00:16:30and I'm gonna drive him south.
00:16:32If anything flies out,
00:16:34I'm gonna fire.
00:16:54Whoa!
00:16:59How in the hell?
00:17:02Oh, look how plump she is.
00:17:05That was a hell of a shot, son.
00:17:08Very fine.
00:17:23Oh, my God.
00:17:53Come on.
00:18:23Come on.
00:18:53Come on.
00:19:24Come on.
00:19:26Come on.
00:19:27Come on.
00:19:52You think the girls missed us?
00:19:55I doubt it, sir.
00:19:56Nonsense.
00:19:58They live for this.
00:19:59The return.
00:20:01I bet they've been down there talking about us.
00:20:03Maybe they've got drinks waiting.
00:20:04Something hot?
00:20:07Catherine
00:20:09always has something waiting for me.
00:20:14Judy,
00:20:16my sloan's mother,
00:20:19she didn't cook dinner.
00:20:22Well, that's unfair.
00:20:23She did.
00:20:25But always under duress.
00:20:29I remember asking her to make dinner.
00:20:33Somehow she assumed that I expected that.
00:20:40I suppose I did.
00:20:46My daughter ever cook for you?
00:20:49Sometimes, sir.
00:20:50I always hoped that some of those cotillion classes would do some good for you.
00:20:54Absolutely.
00:21:21I'm not plucking it.
00:21:24Well, since the gentleman called it his shot,
00:21:26perhaps he should pluck it himself then.
00:21:28Come on, you can pluck your own quail.
00:21:31We should have taken care of this outside,
00:21:33but I'm sure you get all the feathers into the trash
00:21:36and don't try to make such a big mess.
00:21:39Are we going to be chewing shot?
00:21:43Did you use lead shot, son?
00:21:46Well, I don't know, sir.
00:21:47That's your meal.
00:21:49You only do as much of a job as is necessary.
00:21:53Or maybe you like a quail in your gum.
00:22:08I'm going to take a shower.
00:22:13I'm going to take a shower.
00:22:17Okay.
00:22:23He was so excited to see you, darling.
00:22:48I love you.
00:23:10That's it.
00:23:12Just pinch your fingers together,
00:23:14pull firmly.
00:23:17That's not a very large bird, is it?
00:23:20Not much meat.
00:23:48Oh, you look lovely, darling.
00:23:51They're out of season.
00:23:53Those quail.
00:23:55So you keep quiet about shooting it, if anyone asks.
00:23:59Who would ask?
00:24:01Game warden.
00:24:03Yes, sir.
00:24:05I'd go get ready, I think.
00:24:08How would you like me to prepare your bird?
00:24:11I don't know.
00:24:12Simply.
00:24:14An egg.
00:24:15Simply.
00:24:17An illegal bird shouldn't be fussed over too much.
00:24:26I enjoyed the hunt.
00:24:41Your daughter's having a hard time, Ron.
00:24:45Is she?
00:25:04Oh, dear.
00:25:05That's a red wine glass.
00:25:16Mmm.
00:25:20This is for white wine.
00:25:23Yes, that'll do.
00:25:40Stephanie coming?
00:25:42Of course.
00:25:46Late, she said.
00:25:49She'll be here.
00:26:15I'll be right here.
00:26:38I just plucked a quail.
00:26:41You shot a bird.
00:26:42It was amazing.
00:26:46Rowan fleshed it out,
00:26:50shot it, and then I think he was proud.
00:26:54It's like you're a natural woodsman.
00:26:58He gutted it, right there.
00:27:06He found it, I see.
00:27:10And the shed, my mom gave it to me.
00:27:14Take a look at the inscription.
00:27:18I don't see it.
00:27:22You know, there really isn't much evidence that she ever lived here.
00:27:26All the pictures have been taken down.
00:27:34She's been stuffed into the shed.
00:27:40Aren't you going to shower?
00:27:44Are you filthy from the hunt?
00:27:48Yeah, I should wash my hands again.
00:27:52Wait, um, just...
00:27:56Can you just stay here for a little bit?
00:28:00I'm not really ready to go down there yet.
00:28:04I was cooking.
00:28:08Fine.
00:28:12You two seem to be getting along okay.
00:28:16You seem to be getting along.
00:28:20Things were going so well,
00:28:24I felt like I could cut her to pieces.
00:28:28She started in talking about her dead husband.
00:28:32Robert.
00:28:36And, um,
00:28:40I just lost my nerve.
00:28:44If it makes you feel any better,
00:28:48I wish I hadn't shot the quail.
00:28:52But, I don't even think I aimed at the damn thing,
00:28:56but, uh, I killed it.
00:29:00And then he started complimenting me.
00:29:08Maybe they have no idea.
00:29:12Maybe we can just
00:29:16behave.
00:29:20What are you doing in Los Angeles?
00:29:24I was just hired on by a firm.
00:29:28I'm fairly new to the area.
00:29:32You've been there long enough to know Sloan.
00:29:36What sort of firm?
00:29:40Barrett's a lawyer.
00:29:44A lawyer? What sort of lawyer?
00:29:48What sort of law?
00:29:52Eminent domain.
00:29:56I always think I know what that is, but then I have to look it up.
00:30:00Means he works for the state. Seizing people's land.
00:30:04I represent people who are in jeopardy of losing their property.
00:30:08I represent individuals.
00:30:12Is that why you brought him? You're building a case against me?
00:30:16You're going to give us some charity? Like a group of cellists, perhaps?
00:30:20That's enough, Rob.
00:30:24How did you meet my daughter? How exactly did you meet her?
00:30:28Or was I right? She was a client.
00:30:32We met at the Getty.
00:30:36Oil money? It's an art museum.
00:30:40Don't try to patronize me.
00:30:44That's what I think.
00:30:48And my daughter, Sloan, here.
00:30:52She's very shrewd.
00:30:56She's a very diligent planner.
00:31:00Great fabricator of schemes.
00:31:04Her mother used to call her precocious.
00:31:08So you met her at this museum.
00:31:12Set the scene for me.
00:31:16She was staring at a painting.
00:31:20I don't remember the painter.
00:31:24No, actually, it wasn't a painting.
00:31:28It was a bronze sculpture.
00:31:32There were three pieces, and they were depicting Hercules.
00:31:36Well, now, that is a subject for art.
00:31:40I shouldn't underestimate my daughter.
00:31:44I think it was the one where Hercules had caught a boar
00:31:48that had been terrorizing the countryside.
00:31:52And he brought it to the king...
00:31:56Or, no, to the prince.
00:32:00And the prince was terrified.
00:32:04And he was hiding behind a tree.
00:32:08And he was hiding behind the throne.
00:32:12I'll hide from a boar.
00:32:16About ten years ago, there was a family of boars
00:32:20living on our estate, and they kept rooting up the garden.
00:32:24I was too afraid to go outside.
00:32:28So Robert sat on the porch with a rifle for two days
00:32:32until this pig wandered into the yard.
00:32:36He shot it right through the neck.
00:32:40That's not where you shoot a boar.
00:32:44Don't talk about technique. He killed it. That's all that matters.
00:32:48I've killed pigs.
00:32:52But regardless,
00:32:56Sloane was staring at a sculpture of Hercules
00:33:00resting with a boar. What then?
00:33:04What was your thought of the piece?
00:33:08I don't remember what I said.
00:33:12You said that you thought it was heroic,
00:33:16but at the same time very silly.
00:33:20You didn't understand how a boar could terrorize an entire village.
00:33:24Well, Sloane, it makes sense to me.
00:33:28And you were just inseparable since then.
00:33:32It all happened very quickly.
00:33:36I felt like he already knew me.
00:33:40It always feels that way when it's the right thing.
00:33:44Is that the door? Stephanie might be here.
00:33:48I didn't hear anything. I'll go check.
00:33:52Do I look acceptable? You'll have to be my mirror.
00:33:56You look beautiful.
00:34:02Sloane,
00:34:06I want to show you something.
00:34:10What is it? I'm resting. Like a good steak.
00:34:32There must have been no hands.
00:34:52Lovely home.
00:34:56Yeah, it's getting there.
00:35:00Yeah.
00:35:12Don't just stand there with your teeth in your mouth.
00:35:16Look.
00:35:30You recognize it?
00:35:34No, I've never seen it.
00:35:38It belonged to your mother.
00:35:42You must be mistaking my mother for someone else.
00:35:46It's not Mom's ring.
00:35:50I had it altered. The stones are the same.
00:35:54I called you about it.
00:35:58What the hell you did?
00:36:02I called. I left a message.
00:36:06You didn't get back to me.
00:36:10I've called you a lot over the last three years and I've hardly spoken a word to you.
00:36:14Why'd you change it?
00:36:18The past.
00:36:22The past is awful.
00:36:26You couldn't buy a new ring.
00:36:30It belonged to my grandmother.
00:36:34I wanted to keep it in the family.
00:36:38I wanted to give it to you after Judy died, but I don't think that you wanted it.
00:36:42Does Catherine know that it was Mom's?
00:36:46No, no, of course not.
00:36:50I don't know why you brought me in here. I wouldn't have recognized the ring.
00:36:54Because I wanted to be up front with you.
00:36:58That isn't a popular approach in this house, I see.
00:37:02But I'm not undermining you, my daughter.
00:37:06Oh, you're not? No. What would you call it?
00:37:10I'm taking stock.
00:37:14If you have anything to tell me,
00:37:18then you tell me in private.
00:37:22I'll forgive you.
00:37:48Let's pretend that we're having a gay old time in here for the others.
00:38:08Come on.
00:38:12What would make you laugh?
00:38:16What would make you laugh?
00:38:30You go find the others.
00:38:34I'm gonna make a call.
00:38:46I'm gonna make a call.
00:39:06You see that there?
00:39:10Christmas, years ago, when I was with Robert.
00:39:14And put it in the garbage, and I reached in to press down the trash
00:39:18because it had gotten so full.
00:39:22I severed a tendon. Can you believe that?
00:39:26My thumb went limp.
00:39:30I can't hold anything too heavy anymore.
00:39:34I'll just drop it. Nonsense.
00:39:38You might drop it on purpose.
00:39:44Tomorrow's the real dinner. Just wait.
00:39:48The house will be filled.
00:39:56If I remember correctly, Barrett,
00:40:00I have you seated next to Evelyn Talbert.
00:40:04Oh, my God, Barrett, I forgot your quail. I left it in the oven.
00:40:14I thought I might have burned you, but it looks perfect.
00:40:18Doesn't it?
00:40:22Rowan, I would like you to give a blessing.
00:40:26Welcome our family. I don't think they feel quite welcome yet.
00:40:30Of course they feel welcome.
00:40:34I do hope that
00:40:38we have grandchildren someday.
00:40:42We're working on some. Aren't we, Barrett?
00:40:46Are you? Of course.
00:40:50I think I'll put some music on.
00:40:54What do you want to hear? Is it too early for Christmas music?
00:40:58I suppose it is, but if no one objects...
00:41:02I object.
00:41:12That's a little strident,
00:41:16don't you think, Rowan?
00:41:20Strident? It's pasta.
00:41:24My mother was German.
00:41:28I'm part German, too.
00:41:32I meant from Germany.
00:41:36She was born there.
00:41:40I took my mother to see Die Valkyrie
00:41:44two years ago when it was at the Met.
00:41:48I drove her down.
00:41:52What's Die Valkyrie?
00:41:56This is the second part of Wagner's Ring Cycle.
00:42:00It's a cycle of death and resurrection.
00:42:04It's a cycle of death and resurrection.
00:42:08This is the second part of Wagner's Ring Cycle.
00:42:12The whole opera lasts for 17 hours.
00:42:16Did she enjoy this?
00:42:20I don't think I could take more than a few minutes of it.
00:42:24She loved it.
00:42:28I have never heard such sad music.
00:42:32I'm going to turn it down.
00:42:36I can't hear myself.
00:42:40I can't hear myself drink.
00:42:44Darling, don't you dare.
00:42:48I can't hear your wife.
00:42:52My fiancée.
00:42:56Turn that music back up.
00:43:00Stop it!
00:43:08Barrett was just telling us about his mother.
00:43:12She sounds like a wonderful woman.
00:43:16She died when she was 55.
00:43:20I'm so sorry. That's a terrible age to die.
00:43:24My mother was 56.
00:43:28I don't know how old I am.
00:43:36They must have all been around the same age.
00:43:44I'm sorry. How did it happen?
00:43:48Well, tell us how she died.
00:43:52Don't you be so awful.
00:43:56I'm so sorry.
00:44:02Tell us more about your mother.
00:44:06She worked at a university.
00:44:10She was a secretary, but she liked to call it administrative assistant because it sounded more dignified.
00:44:14That sounds better.
00:44:18What school? Boston College.
00:44:22That's where she used to like to walk around when the weather was good.
00:44:30Let's go take a walk around the woods.
00:44:40We can get soaking wet.
00:44:44And then go to bed.
00:44:52This is the only wet I'm going to get.
00:44:56It's still too loud. I think you've made your point.
00:45:00I wasn't making a point.
00:45:04How's your quail?
00:45:12I think it got cold.
00:45:16We'll watch you.
00:45:20He doesn't have to eat it.
00:45:24I hope it isn't dry.
00:45:28It's very tender.
00:45:32I envy you.
00:45:36Listening to Wagner and eating a quail.
00:45:40Oh, you're cute.
00:45:44Oh, ho, ho, ho.
00:45:48You should have swallowed that.
00:45:52Yeah?
00:45:56No, I'm fine. I think I felt something hard.
00:46:00I don't think I broke anything.
00:46:04That's lead.
00:46:08I must own you a steel shot in my gun.
00:46:12Four.
00:46:16Four to five.
00:46:36Someone changed the record.
00:46:46Help her.
00:46:50I want to see how you interact domestically.
00:46:54Well, hello there.
00:46:58Barrett, at your service.
00:47:02How's your tooth? I never got a good answer about your tooth.
00:47:06I think I broke it.
00:47:10All I see is a black hole.
00:47:14How are you two getting along over there?
00:47:18So where'd you get all these records from, Ron?
00:47:22Did you rob somebody?
00:47:26Cleaned out the attic.
00:47:30I found the record player in a box full of records.
00:47:34There wasn't much else there.
00:47:38Pick one. Show me how you're getting along.
00:47:42We're very serious.
00:47:46I wonder what sort of children you'd have.
00:47:54Careful!
00:47:58Gorgeous ones.
00:48:02What?
00:48:06Gorgeous children. I just remembered.
00:48:10The concerts.
00:48:20No, put a record on.
00:48:30Ron, she's going to play something for us.
00:48:34How about that?
00:48:38She's better than the entire Bayreuth Festival Orchestra.
00:48:44Aren't you, Sloane?
00:48:48Aren't you better than the whole Bayreuth Orchestra?
00:49:08This is what I was telling you about.
00:49:38Oh, Stephanie.
00:49:56It's your new sister, Stephanie.
00:50:00Shh.
00:50:04I'm tuning.
00:50:16What do you need?
00:50:20Linseed oil.
00:50:24I'll get you olive oil.
00:50:28Cheers, my daughter.
00:50:32I have inherited a model.
00:50:36She's a lot more than a model, you lout.
00:50:40I'm not much of a model.
00:50:44Hello?
00:50:48I'm Barrett.
00:50:52Sloane's fiance.
00:50:56What do you think about that?
00:51:00I'm sorry I'm so late.
00:51:04Two girls.
00:51:08An amateur cellist and an amateur model.
00:51:12You're the amateur.
00:51:16She is a wonderful model.
00:51:20Don't you let anyone tell you otherwise.
00:51:24Have a seat.
00:51:28I'm too old.
00:51:32Provocative ads.
00:51:36You've come just in time for dessert.
00:51:40Are those my papers?
00:51:44Yes.
00:51:48Hold on to them.
00:51:52What are they, dear?
00:51:56It's a surprise.
00:52:00It's not a respectful way to treat an instrument.
00:52:04You'll put it in the shed.
00:52:08I can put whatever or whoever I want
00:52:12in the shed.
00:52:16Sit down, Stephanie Sloane.
00:52:20Your mother made them.
00:52:24I just cut the strawberries.
00:52:32Was the weather bad?
00:52:36No.
00:52:40I should have made lunch.
00:52:44I'm still good.
00:52:48Was the weather bad?
00:52:52Stop playing that goddamn thing.
00:52:56Stop interrupting me, for Christ's sake.
00:53:00You are so pretty.
00:53:04You are so pretty.
00:53:12You are so pretty.
00:53:16Are you okay?
00:53:20Of course.
00:53:24Are you worried that I'm nervous?
00:53:28I was.
00:53:32I'm fine, darling.
00:53:36I wish she'd made it to dinner.
00:53:40Barrett, the young man that you just met,
00:53:44he shot a quail, and then when he ate it,
00:53:48he bit into a piece of shot.
00:53:52We all thought that he'd broken a tooth.
00:53:56Everything will be fine.
00:54:00Why isn't it fine now?
00:54:04It is.
00:54:08Someday, Stephanie, when you are much older,
00:54:12you'll understand.
00:54:16Everything is perfect.
00:54:26Oh.
00:54:30I was worried that you had been in an accident.
00:54:34Delicious, Mom.
00:54:38You're a peach.
00:54:42Stop playing that goddamn thing.
00:54:46It's so old, it's making everybody sick.
00:54:50Don't listen to that old ghost.
00:54:54Hell, I've been thinking about her.
00:55:02Stephanie, we're going to get you to drink.
00:55:06I still have to drive,
00:55:10so I better not.
00:55:14No, don't be silly. I made a bed for you upstairs.
00:55:18We have so much to do in the morning.
00:55:22Here, Stephanie.
00:55:26Oh, no, no, no, no.
00:55:30Don't anybody leave.
00:55:34I'm playing a concert.
00:55:42Can't you see?
00:55:46We're having a reunion.
00:55:52You know
00:55:56what this opera is about, son?
00:56:00Let's add a libretto, all right?
00:56:04What do you think? I could use your help.
00:56:08My German is rusty. What do you think it should be about?
00:56:12It should be about an American serviceman
00:56:16who was stationed in Munich after the war.
00:56:20And he meets a girl in Munich. She's beautiful.
00:56:24Not very tall, fair-skinned, just like all those northern Europeans.
00:56:30The German girl wouldn't marry the American
00:56:34in Munich, but when he got released from the service,
00:56:38she'd come back with him to the States.
00:56:42What no one knows is
00:56:46they moved in here,
00:56:50into this house.
00:56:54He's gone insane.
00:56:58She was pregnant, turns out.
00:57:02And she had a son.
00:57:06We had a son.
00:57:16He was a very strong little boy.
00:57:20He never cried.
00:57:24I was working for my father's company then. I didn't own it yet.
00:57:28And I'd come home here at night after work.
00:57:32I'd have a drink, and I'd play with my little boy.
00:57:40But it wasn't exclusively good times.
00:57:44This woman, this German wife of mine,
00:57:48she started misbehaving.
00:57:52And I surely guessed it.
00:57:56Oh, I surely guessed it. I know.
00:58:00And I wasn't the first serviceman to spend time with her in Germany.
00:58:04I was just the last in a string.
00:58:08What do you mean by misbehaving?
00:58:12I'm glad that you asked that. You of all people, I'm glad you asked.
00:58:16For the first few years, she was fine.
00:58:20She didn't know anybody. She didn't know how to drive.
00:58:24But one day, I come home from the office,
00:58:28and she wasn't in.
00:58:32My son was right here in this living room. He was looking through a book.
00:58:36And I said, Christopher,
00:58:40where's your mother?
00:58:44He wasn't big on talking. He just looked at me.
00:58:48I said, did she go out?
00:58:52And he nodded.
00:58:56Well, I left the house on foot.
00:59:00I thought maybe she was in the garden.
00:59:04Or sitting up there by the pond. But I couldn't find her.
00:59:08So I walked down the driveway. There's a trailer parked
00:59:12half a mile up the road. I went up there just to see
00:59:16if anyone had seen anybody walking on the road.
00:59:20There's not much foot traffic on this road,
00:59:24so someone would have noticed a pretty lady walking by.
00:59:28I found a man
00:59:32sitting in front of his trailer, chewing a bag.
00:59:36Sir, I said,
00:59:40have you seen a blonde lady in the last hour and a half
00:59:44walking by? And do you know what he said?
00:59:48What? About five
00:59:52four, he said. I said, yes, that's her.
00:59:56And he pointed
01:00:00to a trailer. A little white trailer.
01:00:04So I come up to this little white trailer
01:00:08with its garden, with whatever the hell kind of flowers grow around here,
01:00:12and I knocked on the door.
01:00:16No answer. And I knocked again.
01:00:20Nobody answered.
01:00:24So I tried the handle.
01:00:28And the door opened.
01:00:32She was in there, all right.
01:00:36Trying to put her dress on.
01:00:40I didn't recognize the man.
01:00:44He was sturdy at the most, unshaven,
01:00:48clean white T-shirt. And I thought, I'm going to kill him at first.
01:00:52And I thought, I'm going to kill him at first.
01:01:04But instead, I stepped back
01:01:08and I closed the door.
01:01:12And she came running out after me, screaming how sorry she was.
01:01:16And she followed me down the road, clutching at my hand. I didn't say anything
01:01:20to her. We just walked down to the house. And I took her upstairs.
01:01:24And I made her pack two suitcases.
01:01:28And then I loaded her into the car
01:01:32with her
01:01:36boy.
01:01:40And I drove him into town. I gave him
01:01:44$500, and I left them at the bus station.
01:01:48What happened to your son?
01:01:52I guess you thought you fooled me.
01:01:56But I recognized you on the porch, Kristen.
01:02:18You have some very entertaining stories, Roan.
01:02:22They're very entertaining stories.
01:02:26But my mother told me what it was like
01:02:30to be trapped here.
01:02:34We're his
01:02:38children. It was me, Katherine.
01:02:42It was my idea. Don't let him take all the credit.
01:02:46Why did you do this now?
01:02:54Why did you come here now?
01:02:58Give me another piece of pie.
01:03:02You knocked it over, you fool.
01:03:10How could you be so horrible?
01:03:16Come on.
01:03:30Here!
01:03:34I'm certain this is what you're looking for.
01:03:38And what did your mother say
01:03:42about me?
01:03:46I bet she said a terrible thing.
01:03:58She said
01:04:02that leaving here was the best decision she ever made.
01:04:06I know you made it difficult!
01:04:10Come on, good-looking target!
01:04:22Come on, it's your shot!
01:04:26Coward!
01:04:30It's your shot!
01:04:34Come on!
01:04:56Coward!
01:05:00You've succeeded in ruining a few people's lives.
01:05:08Well, you're damned if I'm gonna let you ruin mine.
01:05:18We're leaving!
01:05:30We're leaving!
01:06:00We're leaving!
01:06:24It's good to meet you, Barry.
01:06:28I hope you enjoyed yourself
01:06:32surprising us like this.
01:06:40Sloane invited me.
01:06:44Ah, yes, well, that makes sense, she would.
01:06:48She doesn't approve of this or anything.
01:06:52Sloane, you came to ruin my wedding day!
01:07:22It's good to meet you, Barry.
01:07:52It's good to meet you, Barry.

01:10:44Patterns you wind

01:11:02Out of control like a raging bull
01:11:14Carousel
01:11:30Aching, spin
01:11:38Wishing well
01:11:48I can't help sin
01:12:08Aching, spin
01:12:18Wishing well
