00:01:00It's my call. Out.
00:01:03If you can, try and hit it at your mother's backhand. It's pretty weak.
00:01:07Got it.
00:01:14Yes!
00:01:15Don't gloat, Wolf.
00:01:16Five games to three us.
00:01:18Fuck! Come on, Bernard.
00:01:27Bernard, don't curse.
00:01:28I'm cursing at myself.
00:01:36Nice shot.
00:01:37Thanks.
00:01:38Walt, watch out.
00:01:39It's part of the game, huh?
00:01:40Fifteen, love.
00:01:48Ow!
00:01:51Joan, I'm sorry.
00:01:53It was an accident.
00:01:54You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:02Oh, my God.
00:02:06You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:07You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:08You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:09You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:10You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:11You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:12You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:13You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:14You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:15You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:16You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:17You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:18You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:19You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:20You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:21You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:22You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:23You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:24You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:25You got to get a second, sir.
00:02:26Frank, did you just put that peanut up your nose?
00:02:50Cashew, yes.
00:02:52Pickle, that is such an idiotic, stupid thing to do.
00:02:56No, it's out.
00:02:57I got it.
00:02:58We're reading A Tale of Two Cities in English.
00:03:00Is that any good?
00:03:01It's minor Dickens.
00:03:03Popular in schools, but I think David Copperfield or Great Expectations is much richer.
00:03:09What is it about high school that you read all the worst books by good writers?
00:03:14You should read it yourself and see what you think of it.
00:03:17I don't want to waste my time.
00:03:26What are you doing?
00:03:27Just fixing up the couch.
00:03:29Did you sleep there?
00:03:31Yeah, our bed is hurting my back.
00:03:33Isn't the couch worse than the bed?
00:03:36For bags?
00:03:37No, this is better.
00:03:39When does Mom's story come out in the magazine?
00:03:43It's not a magazine.
00:03:44It's a literary journal.
00:03:45Next month, I think.
00:03:47It'll be weird having two writers' parents.
00:03:50Yeah, well, Dad influenced her.
00:03:51She never wrote before she met him.
00:03:53I haven't read any of Dad's books.
00:03:55I've looked at them.
00:03:56They're great.
00:03:57They're very dense.
00:03:58I think he needs a new agent.
00:03:59It's been too long since his last book.
00:04:00The publishing world isn't receptive always to real literary talent.
00:04:04Maybe Mom would be famous instead.
00:04:07No, Dad's the writer.
00:04:09Maybe Mom's better.
00:04:10That's way off base, Frank.
00:04:12That's way off base.
00:04:15Ivan hit with Arthur Ashe once.
00:04:17Wasn't he ranked, like, 402 or something?
00:04:20Ivan could have been a champion if he hadn't hurt his knee.
00:04:22Okay, my brother, let's see some ground strokes.
00:04:30You gotta ease up, my brother.
00:04:32I mean, Jimmy Connors does everything as hard as he can,
00:04:34but we can't all get away with that, right?
00:04:37All right, let's see the backhand.
00:04:41Two hands, two hands.
00:04:43Hey, my brother.
00:04:44Who taught you these junkyard strokes, huh?
00:04:47My Dad.
00:04:48He's self-taught.
00:04:49I heard that.
00:04:50Hey, Bernard, you teaching my brother here these junkyard chip shots?
00:04:55One-handed backhand is an elegant stroke.
00:04:57My brother here doesn't want a weak chip shot for a backhand.
00:05:00I don't care.
00:05:02It's McEnroe's stroke.
00:05:03He's the master of the chip game.
00:05:06All right, fellas.
00:05:07That's it for today.
00:05:08Ivan, you want to hit a little?
00:05:13I got a few minutes.
00:05:14Frank, you and Carl hang out.
00:05:16Give me your racket.
00:05:27Are you interested in any arts?
00:05:40I wouldn't mind being a pro.
00:05:42It's very hard to be a professional player.
00:05:44As good as even someone like Ivan is.
00:05:46He's not in a league with McEnroe or Connors.
00:05:49Oh, I don't mean a pro like that.
00:05:51I mean like a pro at the bubble.
00:05:53Like Ivan.
00:05:55You don't want to be a pro.
00:05:58I'm sure I've lost my parking space.
00:06:00We're gonna have to drive around.
00:06:02Can you drop me off?
00:06:03No.
00:06:04I picked you off.
00:06:05The least you can do is ride around with me.
00:06:07Hey you.
00:06:17Out there on the road always doing what you're told.
00:06:20Can you help?
00:06:22Can you help me?
00:06:26Hey you.
00:06:28Out there beyond the wall.
00:06:30Breaking bottles in the hall.
00:06:32Can you help me?
00:06:35Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
00:06:42Together we stand
00:06:46Divided we fall
00:06:49Perfect, honnies!
00:06:54Well, did you write that song?
00:06:56Yes.
00:06:58Frank had some good ideas, too.
00:07:00Very dense, very interesting.
00:07:02Yeah, I signed up for the talent thing they have at school.
00:07:04Great.
00:07:05Just make sure you practice a lot.
00:07:09Mom will be fine.
00:07:10Just remember, you're going to be in front of a lot of people.
00:07:12Mom, don't ruin the whole thing for me.
00:07:14You'll win.
00:07:15If you don't win, something's wrong with them,
00:07:17which is probably the case, actually.
00:07:18People can be very stupid.
00:07:21I'll get it.
00:07:25Walt, you want to come to my class tomorrow after school?
00:07:28Yeah.
00:07:29Could I come?
00:07:30You have tennis.
00:07:32You're going to be doing that, which is its own thing.
00:07:33Dad, look how young Dad looks.
00:07:36That's funny.
00:07:37Dad, can I have this?
00:07:39Okay.
00:07:40Would you write something in it?
00:07:41I absorb sex indiscriminately, numb and impartial.
00:08:06I suck men of their interiors, a fuck that unites John, Dan, Scott, whomever,
00:08:11and the popular lust and paternal hunt for my possession.
00:08:15He was a large man, though his arms were thin,
00:08:18the upper part soft but not fleshy like a young woman's.
00:08:21He had long, delicate fingers and plump palms similar to a raccoon's.
00:08:25With what is best described as finesse,
00:08:27he plied the meat from a crab claw and sucked oysters from their shells.
00:08:31She's a very risky writer, Lily.
00:08:33Very racy.
00:08:35I mean, exhibiting her cunt in that fashion is very racy.
00:08:38I mean, Lily has her influences in postmodern literature,
00:08:41a bit derivative of Kafka,
00:08:43but for a student, very racy.
00:08:45Did you get that it was her cunt?
00:08:47Oh, yeah.
00:08:48Did you like it?
00:08:49Yeah, a lot.
00:08:50You like Kafka.
00:08:51One of my predecessors, particularly the metamorphosis.
00:08:54Metamorphosis?
00:08:56No fucking spaces.
00:08:58I'll keep you company while we live.
00:09:02Dad, what were your wives like before Mom?
00:09:04Wife, really.
00:09:05The first one was annulled.
00:09:07I was 19.
00:09:08What was she like?
00:09:09The annulled one?
00:09:11No, the one you call a wife.
00:09:14Difficult.
00:09:22That's Mom.
00:09:24Yeah, that's Mom.
00:09:25What was she wearing?
00:09:31No, I guess I've seen that before.
00:09:49What are you writing?
00:09:50I'm working on the Peugeot story.
00:09:55Did you take my note about the ending?
00:09:59Some of it.
00:10:00Does he still die?
00:10:02Yeah.
00:10:03Then you didn't take my note.
00:10:04Um...
00:10:05Um...
00:10:06Boys, make sure you come home right after school.
00:10:29Why?
00:10:30We're having a family conference.
00:10:32What's that?
00:10:32Talk just come home. What about we'll go over it tonight
00:10:38Can you give us a hint? No, just tonight. We'll go everything go over it tonight
00:11:02Just waiting for your mother
00:11:20Oh, mom, sorry
00:11:26Okay, all set? Yes
00:11:32Okay, your mom and I
00:11:36Okay, yeah, mom and I are going
00:11:40We're going to separate
00:11:45You're not going to be leaving either of us
00:11:48We're going to have joint custody
00:11:50Frank, it's okay
00:11:51I've got an elegant new house across the park
00:11:54Across the park?
00:11:56Is that even Brooklyn?
00:11:57It's only five stops on the subway
00:11:59It's an elegant block, the filet of the neighborhood
00:12:01We'll have a ping pong table
00:12:03I don't play ping pong
00:12:04And we'll both see you equally
00:12:06How will that work?
00:12:07We're splitting up the week, alternating days
00:12:09Why?
00:12:10Because I love you and I want to see you as much as your mother does
00:12:12But there's seven days
00:12:14Right
00:12:14So how will you split evenly with seven days?
00:12:17Oh, I've got you Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday
00:12:19And every other Thursday
00:12:20Every other?
00:12:21That's how we each have you equally
00:12:23That was your father's idea
00:12:24Don't do this
00:12:26How will I get to school?
00:12:29There's a subway four blocks from the house
00:12:30Four or five
00:12:32No more than six blocks
00:12:33And what about the cat?
00:12:35Shit
00:12:35The cat
00:12:36We didn't discuss the cat
00:12:38Your father will pick him up on those days when you're switching houses
00:12:42I'll have to drive here two additional times a week
00:12:45You've got a place on the other side of the park
00:12:47If you'd gotten a place near here, it wouldn't be a problem
00:12:49This neighborhood's gotten very expensive
00:12:51Joan, it's very painful for me to stay in this neighborhood
00:12:53You know that
00:12:54Don't be difficult
00:12:55I feel banished
00:12:56Oh, Pickle
00:12:57So, Dad, what will happen with the cat?
00:13:00We'll figure something out
00:13:02Is it because Dad isn't as successful as he used to be?
00:13:08Now that you're publishing and he isn't, is that it?
00:13:12Well, that's not a nice thing to say
00:13:14Because this is a great family and I don't know why you're screwing it up
00:13:16If we could avoid it, I would
00:13:18Why are you doing this now?
00:13:19You've been together 16 years
00:13:2017
00:13:21I can't imagine living with you guys like this
00:13:24Don't most of your friends already have divorced parents?
00:13:28Yeah, but I don't
00:13:30Well, now you do
00:13:32I think you're doing a foolish, foolish thing
00:13:36Listen, Chicken, I understand how unhappy you are
00:13:39I'm unhappy too
00:13:40And I don't want you or Frank to blame yourself for any of this
00:13:43It has nothing to do with you
00:14:06Whoa, whoa
00:14:14Shh, it's okay, go back to sleep
00:14:17Are these books?
00:14:20Yes, these are my books
00:14:21Why are they going under my bed?
00:14:24Because I bought them and I don't want to lose them
00:14:26We'll put them back on the shelf when your father leaves
00:14:30Until things are certain, I don't think we should say anything to anyone yet
00:14:36Why?
00:14:38Because we never know and I don't want people to know our business
00:14:40I told Carl
00:14:43Already?
00:14:46I called him last night
00:14:47I also told Matt and Dale
00:14:50And Dale?
00:14:52Shit, now everyone will know Jesus, Frank
00:14:54Mom says we should tell people
00:14:55Yeah, Mom doesn't have to go to school
00:14:56Stop crying
00:14:57Joint custody blows
00:15:01I was told it's better
00:15:03It's miserable
00:15:04My parents didn't want to uproot me and Rebecca
00:15:07So we stayed in the house and they both took separate apartments
00:15:10And switched off coming to us
00:15:11And then my mom met Dexter
00:15:13My dad freaked out
00:15:15And then they sold the house
00:15:17And I go back and forth anyway
00:15:20God, drunk custody blows
00:15:22Green are your eyes
00:15:27In the morning
00:15:29When you arrive
00:15:31Oh, thanks
00:15:33Yeah, I forgot to take these
00:15:34She has a few of my books still
00:15:36She went around writing her maiden name in all the books
00:15:39When she knew we were splitting
00:15:41But these were definitely mine
00:15:42Are you and Walt stealing from Mom?
00:15:44These were mine, Frank
00:15:45Watch it!
00:15:47Jesus!
00:15:50Hey, brother
00:15:51Walt
00:15:52Uh, Bernard
00:15:53Joan says you have a check for me?
00:15:56She said that
00:15:57No, tennis is hers
00:15:58In our separation agreement
00:16:00It says she handles tennis and winter coats
00:16:02I do sneakers and candy
00:16:03Okay
00:16:04I'll take it up with her
00:16:06Walt
00:16:07Ivan's a bit of half-wit, isn't he?
00:16:15My love
00:16:17Your father will not know
00:16:23Love, don't cry
00:16:32I'll not try
00:16:35Don't you be afraid to lie
00:16:44By me, my love
00:16:48Your father will not know
00:16:54It was important to me to have a place like your mother's
00:17:02I'm going to cook and run the household like you're used to
00:17:06This is nothing like our house
00:17:11You mean your mother's house
00:17:13What?
00:17:14This is nothing like your mother's house
00:17:16That's what I just said
00:17:17No, you said our house
00:17:19That's your mother's house
00:17:19This is your house, too
00:17:20No, this is your house
00:17:22It's our house
00:17:24I hate Nastassi
00:17:27You know that
00:17:28Ivan met Nastassi and said he was an asshole
00:17:30Well, I couldn't find Vetus gerolitis
00:17:32I have a Vetus poster at home
00:17:34At mom's
00:17:37And all my turtles
00:17:38We can get you some turtles
00:17:39I know you like the amphibians
00:17:40Turtles are reptiles
00:17:42Here's a desk for you to do your homework
00:17:46Dad, this is for a lefty
00:17:50Dad got me a lefty desk
00:17:53Frank, don't be difficult
00:17:54We need to be supportive of Dad
00:17:56I hate it here
00:17:57Don't be a chick
00:17:58You can get a righty desk later
00:17:59Why do I want a desk at home anyway?
00:18:01I don't want a chalkboard
00:18:02Or a bell going off every 45 minutes either
00:18:05Well, he likes being with us
00:18:07He likes having us in the house
00:18:08We got books
00:18:09I didn't get books
00:18:10Because these are the books Dad knows I like
00:18:12I want to go back to mom's
00:18:14Why do you want to go to mom?
00:18:16She calls this chick
00:18:17I'm not chick
00:18:18Yes, you are
00:18:18And you don't know what you're talking about, chick
00:18:19This is mom's doing
00:18:20Stop calling me chick
00:18:22Didn't mom tell us they would never get divorced?
00:18:23Yeah
00:18:24So, mom's a liar
00:18:25Ow, fuck, that hurt
00:18:26Ow
00:18:27You're not making a chick, you fucking ass man
00:18:31You're hurting me
00:18:34Really hurting me
00:18:36One turtle would have made a difference
00:18:44You live in Park Slope, right?
00:18:55My mom does
00:18:55And I do, sometimes
00:18:57I'm also going to live on the other side of the park
00:19:00Half the time
00:19:00Prospect Heights?
00:19:02I'm not sure what the neighborhood's called, actually
00:19:03The street's Stratford Road
00:19:05My dad's moving there
00:19:06Here it's the filet of the neighborhood
00:19:08You like Franz Kafka?
00:19:13I don't know him
00:19:14He's great
00:19:15The Metamorphosis is a masterpiece
00:19:16Sounds good
00:19:17Yeah, it is
00:19:18Have you read The Side of Paradise?
00:19:21No, but it's minor Fitzgerald
00:19:22Is it?
00:19:23I loved it
00:19:24Well, it's a minor work
00:19:25The Gatsby's his masterpiece
00:19:27And Tender of the Night has dazzling moments
00:19:29Less tycoon had he finished it
00:19:31I hope you like it
00:19:40Your notes were awesome, Bernhard
00:19:42I loved your idea for the change in tense at the end
00:19:45Yeah, I think it could be the coup of the story
00:19:47I re-read A Hunger Artist on your suggestion
00:19:49And stole a couple things
00:19:51See if you can spot them
00:19:52Good story to steal from
00:19:53Easy, won't you try, sweet love
00:19:56Don't you want to catch a sweet little love
00:20:00Life's deep and some love
00:20:03Fuck!
00:20:08Frank!
00:20:09Sorry
00:20:10How long were you and Mom not getting along?
00:20:13Oh, a couple of years
00:20:14I thought we would work it out
00:20:16I wanted to
00:20:18I tried, as you know
00:20:19I tried very hard
00:20:20Your mother ultimately wasn't interested in that
00:20:23Why not?
00:20:24I think it has very little to do with me
00:20:26Mother shit!
00:20:27Fuck her!
00:20:27Frank!
00:20:28She could never make up her mind
00:20:29She'd pull away
00:20:31And then she'd get angry at me
00:20:33For not being more aggressive
00:20:34Her affair with that man, Richard
00:20:36Made it difficult, finally
00:20:38For me to save the marriage
00:20:39It became a fait accompli
00:20:40Affair?
00:20:41With Richard
00:20:42Who's Richard?
00:20:43Oh, man from the neighborhood
00:20:45I think she met him
00:20:46At one of Frank's Little League games
00:20:47A shrink
00:20:48Seems sort of like an ordinary guy
00:20:51Not an intellectual
00:20:52How long was she having the affair?
00:20:54About four years
00:20:55Are you kidding?
00:20:56No
00:20:57I thought you knew this
00:20:58Oh
00:20:59No
00:21:00Fuck that cock shit!
00:21:04Frank!
00:21:05You gotta relax, my brother
00:21:07Hey, Mom
00:21:09Hey, honeys
00:21:10What are you doing?
00:21:11Just changing things around a bit
00:21:13I've come by to tell you
00:21:14I'm not staying here anymore
00:21:15Why?
00:21:17You know why
00:21:18No, I don't
00:21:19Frank, do you know why?
00:21:20No
00:21:20Why don't you tell me, Walt?
00:21:22Because you cheated on Dad
00:21:23How'd you hear that?
00:21:29Your father told you
00:21:30Yeah
00:21:30He told me
00:21:32Why did you, Mom?
00:21:37I was having a hard time
00:21:39Why were we doing all this?
00:21:41Did you bring men home?
00:21:42Not, Walt
00:21:42Not
00:21:43Not when your father was in town
00:21:46You actually met Richard
00:21:48Both your boys
00:21:49He came over for takeout once
00:21:52You talked about the stones
00:21:54Oh, God
00:21:57Under our noses
00:21:58Like a brothel
00:21:59Men coming in and out
00:22:00Walt, shut up
00:22:01If you want me to explain, I will
00:22:03I don't want to hear about it
00:22:04I do
00:22:04Well, Walt doesn't
00:22:05So I'm not going to say anything
00:22:06Walt can leave
00:22:07You disgust me
00:22:08You weren't even a writer
00:22:10Until recently
00:22:10You just failed on Dad
00:22:12Because he's not as successful
00:22:13As he used to be
00:22:14And hasn't gotten the recognition
00:22:15He deserves
00:22:15You sound like your father
00:22:17No, I'm glad I sound like him
00:22:18You disgust me
00:22:18You're being a shit, Walt
00:22:20I'm taking the cap
00:22:24I can't have him
00:22:26It's his night here
00:22:27Okay
00:22:28You can kiss me now
00:22:30No
00:22:31The moment's ruined
00:22:32Maybe I'll go sneak up
00:22:35And surprise Chrissy
00:22:36It's not her birthday
00:22:38She also had an affair
00:22:39With some therapist
00:22:40I don't want to know
00:22:41And Otto's father, Don
00:22:43Otto's father?
00:22:45Yeah, but it's over
00:22:46She said the affairs
00:22:48Have gotten miserable for her
00:22:49She's dating now
00:22:50But nothing serious
00:22:51She's crazy
00:22:52She should keep her affairs
00:22:53To herself
00:22:54I'm not going back to Mom
00:22:56You have to
00:22:56Joint custody
00:22:57Fuck joint custody
00:22:58Wait, is Mom leading
00:23:01To drink soda?
00:23:02Beer
00:23:02Since when do you drink beer?
00:23:04Since recently
00:23:05You think Don and she did it?
00:23:12God, I don't want to think about it
00:23:13Imagine Don's dick in Mom's mouth
00:23:16Who are you?
00:23:17Stop it
00:23:17You think they do that?
00:23:21Did she use anal sex from Don?
00:23:23Stop, okay?
00:23:24It's disgusting
00:23:25Don't
00:23:27We have the same bone structure
00:23:34No
00:23:36You have your dad's features
00:23:37Really?
00:23:41Fuck it
00:23:42Frank
00:23:43I thought I had your bone structure
00:23:45No
00:23:46You're ugly
00:23:51Pickle
00:23:56Pickle, why would you say that?
00:23:57Because I think it's true
00:23:58I think Carl thinks you're ugly
00:24:00I'm not though, sweetie
00:24:04It's fine
00:24:05You're ugly
00:24:06Oh, my God
00:24:06I boa
00:24:08Well, you're ugly
00:24:09Actually, I can't be
00:24:10As you see
00:24:10L among you
00:24:11We have anvatore
00:24:12I know
00:24:13You're ugly
00:24:13The mother
00:24:14I'm ugly
00:24:14You're ugly
00:24:15I love you
00:24:15I know
00:24:15I know
00:24:16You're ugly
00:24:17You're ugly
00:24:17Because there's mga
00:24:18It's true
00:24:18But you're ugly
00:24:19But you're ugly
00:24:20You're ugly
00:24:20You're ugly
00:24:22び
00:24:23You're ugly
00:24:24Ahaltra
00:24:24But you're good
00:24:24You're ugly
00:24:25I found out something last night.
00:24:54What's that?
00:24:55That your dad was fucking my mom.
00:24:58What?
00:24:59You heard me.
00:25:01Supposedly going on for a year or so, about two years ago.
00:25:05Ah.
00:25:07I'm so horrified by this.
00:25:09Thanks.
00:25:11No, I don't mean by your mom.
00:25:12She's very attractive.
00:25:14It was just an affair.
00:25:15A fuck.
00:25:16We're not gonna be brothers or anything.
00:25:18She said your dad's pretty fucked up with women.
00:25:20Why'd she sleep with him then?
00:25:22I don't know.
00:25:23Because she's an asshole?
00:25:27Oh, I read the metamorphosis.
00:25:29You were right.
00:25:29It's great.
00:25:30Oh?
00:25:31Yeah.
00:25:31I mean, so bizarre.
00:25:33What do you think is happening at the end with the sister?
00:25:36Oh, yeah.
00:25:36I think she's, um...
00:25:38I mean, you know, it's ambiguous, really.
00:25:39Yeah.
00:25:40I mean, it's gross when he turns into the bug, but I love how matter-of-fact everything
00:25:44is.
00:25:45Yeah.
00:25:45It's very Kafka-esque.
00:25:48Because it's written by Franz Kafka.
00:25:50Right.
00:25:52I mean, clearly.
00:25:52Yeah, it would have to be.
00:25:53Um, you're, uh, you're shoving the whole tongue in me.
00:26:03Oh.
00:26:04No, it's okay.
00:26:04Just do it a little, like, little licks.
00:26:09Like this?
00:26:10Um, yeah.
00:26:17I wish you didn't have so many freckles on your face.
00:26:23I mean, not really, though.
00:26:40I'm feeling kind of fevers.
00:26:43Do we have any Tylenol?
00:26:44I don't know.
00:26:46I didn't see any.
00:26:47And there isn't any.
00:26:48Can we get some?
00:27:04Is this enough?
00:27:05Get a small one.
00:27:06$3.57?
00:27:08I don't have enough money.
00:27:09Okay.
00:27:17I got it.
00:27:18Do you have any change?
00:27:27Want to play ping pong?
00:27:29I'm going to lie down.
00:27:30One game.
00:27:32Fucking shit.
00:27:3319-7.
00:27:36Have you given more thought to what you're interested in?
00:27:38Come on.
00:27:42You have to try.
00:27:43It's no fun for me if you don't try.
00:27:44I want to be a tennis pro like Ivan.
00:27:48Oh, come on.
00:27:48You don't want to be a tennis pro.
00:27:49Why not?
00:27:50It's not serious.
00:27:52I mean, McEnroe.
00:27:53Borg is an artist.
00:27:54It's like dance.
00:27:56Connors has a brutish brilliance.
00:27:57But at Ivan's level, Ivan is fine, but he's not a serious guy.
00:28:00He's a Philistine.
00:28:02What's a Philistine?
00:28:03He's a guy who doesn't care about books or interesting films and things.
00:28:07Your mother's brother, Ned, is also a Philistine.
00:28:10Then I'm a Philistine.
00:28:11No, you're interested in books and things.
00:28:13You liked The Wild Child when we saw it.
00:28:16Lots of people liked that movie.
00:28:17No, I'm a Philistine.
00:28:27When am I going to meet the famous Sophie?
00:28:30I don't know.
00:28:31She's not gorgeous, but she's cute.
00:28:33You have plenty of time to sleep with gorgeous women.
00:28:37God damn it!
00:28:38They fell on the floor.
00:28:53When my first novel came out, I had a lot of opportunities.
00:28:57I was with your mother, so I didn't partake.
00:29:00And I've never had an affair with a student, though many have come on to me.
00:29:04That's why you might not want to be attached to your age.
00:29:06Well, it sounds like Sophie's good for now.
00:29:09Why did you yell, God damn it?
00:29:11I burned myself.
00:29:12Colts are great.
00:29:13Dad, did you hear from that agent?
00:29:14Hmm, not yet.
00:29:16But if he likes your novel, then you get it published, right?
00:29:18Basically.
00:29:19What happened to your old agent, Fred?
00:29:21Pissed me off.
00:29:23I made a disparaging remark about the Knicks at a party.
00:29:27I thought they played like thugs.
00:29:28I found it really offensive.
00:29:30Kind of a jerk.
00:29:32I think it was important to your mother
00:29:34that I achieved some sort of commercial success
00:29:36and when I didn't meet her expectations in that area.
00:29:45What you're going to witness is a Greenberg family tradition.
00:29:48Friday night Chinese at Hunan Palace.
00:29:51I hope you're prepared.
00:29:52Hey.
00:29:53Hey.
00:29:55Why'd you let go of my hand?
00:29:57What?
00:29:58When we passed, when do you let go?
00:29:59I didn't realize.
00:30:04Walt, is there anything special you'd like to order?
00:30:06Oh, no.
00:30:07I'm just happy to have the same amount of dishes as people.
00:30:09In my family, it's always one dish less the number of people.
00:30:11That's our family tradition, not ordering enough food.
00:30:15That's funny.
00:30:16Oh, he's funny, Sophie.
00:30:17I know.
00:30:18You're early.
00:30:30Hi, Joan.
00:30:34Don't feed him the generic stuff.
00:30:36What?
00:30:37Frank says you're feeding the cat generic food.
00:30:39Get Purina.
00:30:40It's what he likes.
00:30:41Same damn thing, Joan.
00:30:42Okay, it's not, but...
00:30:43He's my cat, too.
00:30:44You know, you remember when he got stuck in the wall in New Hampshire?
00:30:48I rescued him.
00:30:50I know how to handle him.
00:30:51It was a radiator.
00:30:52What?
00:30:52He got stuck in a radiator.
00:30:58You trimmed your beard.
00:31:00Yeah, it was starting to get a little feral.
00:31:04You look well.
00:31:06Yeah.
00:31:08Thanks.
00:31:09Things are good here.
00:31:11Teaching is going well.
00:31:12I'm playing the best tennis in my life.
00:31:17Maybe that's an illusion that feels that way.
00:31:21It's good.
00:31:23Hey, I was thinking we should sit together at Walt's performance next month.
00:31:27Okay.
00:31:28I think it'd be nice for him if we were both there together.
00:31:31Maybe we could all go out afterwards.
00:31:35I don't know.
00:31:36Maybe.
00:31:37Okay, maybe.
00:31:40I think he's getting good at guitar.
00:31:42I know.
00:31:44The stuff he's writing is really wonderful.
00:31:47Have you met his girlfriend?
00:31:49No.
00:31:49He talks about her with me, though.
00:31:52Good.
00:31:56I'd appreciate it if you didn't...
00:32:00tell him about things like Richard.
00:32:02My father told me you called him.
00:32:12I did, yeah.
00:32:13He said you, uh...
00:32:15said you were upset.
00:32:16Yeah.
00:32:19I wanted to...
00:32:21I like him.
00:32:24You know that.
00:32:25I just wanted to say...
00:32:28I don't know.
00:32:31I just wanted to say hello.
00:32:33He called me right after.
00:32:35He said,
00:32:35Bernie, I think you can save your marriage.
00:32:40I told him...
00:32:41I didn't think there was anything else I could do.
00:32:52I did try everything.
00:32:53I did try everything.
00:33:02Bye, Bernard.
00:33:02I was wondering if you knew of any apartments.
00:33:16I'm being kicked out of my sublet.
00:33:18Unless I, I don't know, blow the soup or I'm out of my ass.
00:33:21Oh, I don't.
00:33:22I guess you don't know either, huh?
00:33:25Oh, uh, no.
00:33:26Actually, I have an extra room in my house.
00:33:29You could stay there till you find something.
00:33:32You wouldn't have to blow your super.
00:33:34Oh.
00:33:35Well, I guess...
00:33:37I'd hate to put you out.
00:33:39No, no.
00:33:40Or your kids.
00:33:41No, no.
00:33:48I wish that I was a star
00:33:52I'm moving in
00:33:53Your love and hate are lost behind the moon
00:33:58Where nothing can go wrong
00:34:02The mother and the horse.
00:34:03Looks like a cool mood.
00:34:04That's a classic.
00:34:05I had it in my room.
00:34:06Bathroom's right across the hall.
00:34:08You'll have to share it with the kids.
00:34:09They can come upstairs and use mine.
00:34:10I don't care.
00:34:11As long as Walt remembers to put the seat down.
00:34:14Thank you, Bernard.
00:34:15Thank you, Walt.
00:34:19Joan tells me you don't like your sheets.
00:34:22They're fine.
00:34:22And that you disapprove of the food I feed the cat.
00:34:25You should tell me these things, not her.
00:34:30Fuck!
00:34:31Fifteen.
00:34:32Fifteen, twenty.
00:34:46Motherfucker!
00:34:47My serve.
00:34:47I wasn't ready.
00:34:52Yes, you were.
00:34:53Frank, I was not ready.
00:34:55This is Mother Hubbard.
00:34:57There is nothing to eat or drink.
00:34:59No soda.
00:35:01No, we're not allowed soda.
00:35:02I guess there's two kinds of parents.
00:35:04Those who allow soda and sugar cereal
00:35:06and those who don't.
00:35:07We're not supposed to use the paper towels
00:35:09to wipe our hands.
00:35:09The cloth is for that.
00:35:10You're cute.
00:35:15Thanks.
00:35:16I can't believe it.
00:35:18Yeah.
00:35:34Shit!
00:35:35Good game.
00:35:37It's hard to beat your father.
00:35:40Hey!
00:35:42Watch it!
00:35:43Suck my dick ass, man.
00:35:47Watch it.
00:35:47Where are you going?
00:35:57Oh, the movies.
00:35:59And then to a party with Sophie.
00:36:01What are you going to do?
00:36:02Oh, I don't know.
00:36:03Frank won't leave his room.
00:36:04He's being difficult.
00:36:07You want to come to the movie?
00:36:09Okay.
00:36:11Not the party, but the movie.
00:36:14So, we were thinking short circuit.
00:36:16Blue velvet is supposed to be quite interesting.
00:36:21I love you!
00:36:22Love me!
00:36:26He put this disease in me.
00:36:29Damn, it's all right.
00:36:30I opened myself to you.
00:36:45No.
00:36:46Stop, Frank.
00:36:52No.
00:36:56A student of mine writes very racy short stories you might like.
00:36:59Oh.
00:37:00Yeah.
00:37:00She has one that chronicles her vagina.
00:37:03Dad.
00:37:03That sounds interesting.
00:37:05Very feminist, but very interesting.
00:37:07Uh-huh.
00:37:07Okay.
00:37:07Okay.
00:37:07Okay.
00:37:07Okay.
00:37:16Frank, I'm back.
00:37:23Shut up and go to bed.
00:37:27Put the pillow on your head.
00:37:30Frank?
00:37:31Frank?
00:37:32What were you doing?
00:37:55I was going to mom's.
00:37:56You don't do that on my night.
00:37:58Ever.
00:37:59You hear me?
00:38:00Yes.
00:38:01I'm your father.
00:38:02You listen to what I say.
00:38:04But you were out.
00:38:05Still my night, damn it.
00:38:06Okay.
00:38:07Okay.
00:38:07Okay.
00:38:10Shit, this one's taking my space.
00:38:12God damn it.
00:38:13Son of a bitch.
00:38:14Cut your mouth, but near a little late night faucet.
00:38:20You start a drip.
00:38:22All you're doing.
00:38:23Cut!
00:38:30Hello?
00:38:34Hello?
00:38:44Frank, what are you doing here?
00:38:52It's not your night with me.
00:38:54I don't want to look like Dad.
00:38:55Looks aren't everything.
00:38:56It's not your night with me, sweetie.
00:38:59Did you have a party?
00:39:00Well, I celebrated.
00:39:01Knopf was publishing my novel.
00:39:03Pickle, you should be at your dad's.
00:39:05Yeah?
00:39:06Yeah.
00:39:07I need some nights without you guys sometimes.
00:39:14What's up, brother?
00:39:22Nothing.
00:39:26Hello?
00:39:31You just took off and went to your mother's.
00:39:33It's my night.
00:39:34He knows that.
00:39:35Everything we could ease up on whose night is whose.
00:39:38I want to see you guys.
00:39:39I love you.
00:39:42Did you like Sophie?
00:39:43Yeah, I think she's fine.
00:39:45Is she a Knicks fan?
00:39:47I don't know.
00:39:49You think she's pretty?
00:39:51Sure.
00:39:52But she's not the type I go for.
00:39:55You just have to decide if you want to be attached.
00:39:59It's good to play the field at your age.
00:40:02Lily is pretty.
00:40:05Would you go ring the bell?
00:40:07I hate walking up those steps.
00:40:09It's very uncomfortable for me.
00:40:11Very painful.
00:40:11Well, I used to live in this house.
00:40:17As you know.
00:40:24Pickle, your dad and Walter here, and they're going to take you back to Bernard's.
00:40:27I'll be right out.
00:40:29I'm sorry about, I'm sorry about your seeing Ivan like this.
00:40:33I would have liked to have told you before you saw him.
00:40:36I'll be right back.
00:40:54I'll be right back.
00:40:54I'll be right back.
00:40:56your mother
00:41:00I wanted to tell you about Ivan so you didn't hear it from anyone else
00:41:04Frank may have already said something
00:41:07yeah he did
00:41:08I've been seeing him a short time
00:41:11but I like him
00:41:12and I thought you guys should know that
00:41:15and do you have any questions?
00:41:18no
00:41:19um there was something else I was going to say
00:41:22oh I ran into Celia Lance's mother
00:41:25on the street and she was
00:41:27telling me how wonderful she thinks you are
00:41:29how polite and funny
00:41:31and
00:41:31she said you did something with the
00:41:35salt and pepper shakers
00:41:36a little play or something
00:41:38yeah it was kind of stupid
00:41:40I said I already know all those things about him
00:41:43but it's nice to hear it
00:41:44oh I remember what else I was going to say
00:41:47I wanted to know

00:46:57I'll see you next time
00:47:15Okay, up next, Walt Berkman, who is going to play us a song.
00:47:41I'm going to play lead guitar and do vocals on a song I wrote.
00:47:48Hey, you, out there in the cold, getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
00:47:57Hey, you, standing in the aisles with itchy feet and fading smiles, can you feel me?
00:48:03Hey, you, don't help them to bury the light.
00:48:14Don't give in without a fight.
00:48:18But it was only a fantasy.
00:48:23That song was so good.
00:48:25Oh, thank you.
00:48:26Dad, you remember Sophie?
00:48:27Mm-hmm.
00:48:28And Lily?
00:48:29Hi.
00:48:30How much did you win?
00:48:32100 bucks.
00:48:33Come by my room tonight before you go to bed.
00:48:36I want to show you something.
00:48:36Okay.
00:48:37Oh, and this is my mom and Frank and Ivan.
00:48:40Hi.
00:48:42Some song, brother.
00:48:43Thanks.
00:48:44Thanks.
00:48:45Hey, Bernard.
00:48:46I thought we'd all have dinner.
00:48:56Ivan suggested Gage and Tolner.
00:48:57We could celebrate my book and your song.
00:48:59No, I'm going to go with Dad.
00:49:01Well, your dad and I talked about all of us going.
00:49:03I don't want to do that.
00:49:05See ya.
00:49:06Ivan and I came to see your show.
00:49:08Don't treat us that way.
00:49:13You think you hate me, but I know you don't.
00:49:16Where'd you come up with some of those lyrics?
00:49:29They were very dreamlike.
00:49:30Reminds me of my second novel, End of the Line.
00:49:33There's a rock star character in that.
00:49:34I love that novel.
00:49:35Classic.
00:49:36The scenes with the baby in the middle are based on me as a baby.
00:49:39That's right.
00:49:40It's Mailer's favorite of my books.
00:49:41And I loved your wife's piece in The New Yorker.
00:49:45Really?
00:49:46In The New Yorker?
00:49:47Did you know about this?
00:49:49I guess I did.
00:49:51How'd that happen?
00:49:52It's an excerpt.
00:49:53She's getting a novel published.
00:49:55Really?
00:49:56Walt showed it to me.
00:49:57It was kind of sad, but really good.
00:50:01The portions are very big here.
00:50:03You only need half an order.
00:50:05Okay.
00:50:06Jesus.
00:50:09Fifteen dollars for parking.
00:50:11What do you think I should do about Sophie?
00:50:14You'll make the right decision.
00:50:18I regret sometimes I wasn't more of a free agent when I was younger.
00:50:23There was a woman who approached me at a party at George Plimpton's after my first book.
00:50:27She was very sexy.
00:50:29I could have gone home with her.
00:50:30Why didn't you?
00:50:32I was with your mother.
00:50:33Oh, right.
00:50:34Of course.
00:50:36Well, you should have probably done it.
00:50:37It didn't stop her.
00:50:42Maybe you should sleep with her once.
00:50:44See if you like it.
00:50:47Doesn't mean you can't see other women, too.
00:50:50I don't know if Sophie will go for that.
00:50:54Well, after your performance tonight, things might change for you.
00:50:58Do you want to go to my house?
00:50:59I thought we could...
00:51:00Jesus, you really want to do it, don't you?
00:51:02I don't know.
00:51:04What's the obsession with sex?
00:51:06It's not an obsession.
00:51:08I'm not so sure I want to do it either.
00:51:09I'm scared, too.
00:51:10Well, scared is not the issue.
00:51:12It's just...
00:51:13Everything is so serious suddenly.
00:51:14We're not getting married.
00:51:15What are you saying?
00:51:16Nothing.
00:51:17I just don't want to feel this pressure from you.
00:51:19Do you like someone else?
00:51:20Your dad's girlfriend?
00:51:22No.
00:51:23No, why?
00:51:24No, and she's not his girlfriend.
00:51:25My father said you had a weak handshake, which is a sign of indecision.
00:51:31His hands are so huge, I can't get a good grip.
00:51:33My mother said you don't have a very good model for relationships because of your parents.
00:51:37What?
00:51:39Your mother doesn't know anything.
00:51:41Well, I thought it went well.
00:51:42You told me she said I was hilarious.
00:51:43Yes.
00:51:48Look, don't be difficult, please.
00:51:49You want a beer?
00:51:57I couldn't take relying on your dad's shopping habits anymore.
00:52:00You can have anything you want whenever.
00:52:03Thanks.
00:52:05I'm going to read you a draft of my new story.
00:52:08I want to hear your thoughts first, then I'm going to show it to your dad.
00:52:13You like Pink Floyd, huh?
00:52:16What?
00:52:17Don't worry.
00:52:17I used to hand in Lou Reed lyrics in my poetry class and pass them off as my own.
00:52:23Although, I hope you don't get caught.
00:52:26I always did.
00:52:34Do you?
00:52:35Oh, fuck!
00:52:37Sorry.
00:52:39Shit!
00:52:40Lily, sorry.
00:52:42Okay.
00:52:43It's just a bloody nose.
00:52:45I'm sorry.
00:52:47I might take a bath, okay?
00:53:04Oh.
00:53:04Okay.
00:53:07Okay.
00:53:08Nice.
00:53:08Hey.
00:53:13Hey.
00:53:13When's Bernard coming to get you?
00:53:21In an hour.
00:53:23Plan on 30 minutes.
00:53:24It's always early to get you.
00:53:26I'm late to bring you back.
00:53:29I wish I could come with you guys.
00:53:31I heard that, brother.
00:53:32I know, but Dad's got you on Saturdays.
00:53:37You like his girlfriend?
00:53:38Is she his girlfriend?
00:53:40I thought so.
00:53:41She lives with you.
00:53:43He doesn't say?
00:53:44No.
00:53:45I think Walt loves her.
00:53:49So they like the same women now, too.
00:53:51What?
00:53:52It's nothing.
00:53:52You got our number in Maine.
00:53:54Remember to lock up.
00:53:56I will.
00:53:56See you next week, Piccolo.
00:53:59Just pickle, please.
00:54:01I'll see you next week.
00:54:02Just pickle.
00:54:11Good grip, brother.
00:54:12You too, brother.
00:54:13Dad, it's me.
00:54:30Are you there?
00:54:33Pick up.
00:54:331 times 8 is 8
00:54:442 times 8 is 16
00:54:483 times 8 is 24
00:54:504 times 8 is 32
00:54:53and 5 times 8 is 40
00:54:55You know?
00:54:57It has been a long, emotionally draining day
00:55:00It has double four
00:55:01Figure four
00:55:03Is half of eight
00:55:05If you're scared
00:55:08You would be great
00:55:10If you could name
00:55:13A figure eight
00:55:16That's a certain amount
00:55:18Sorry about what you're going to have.
00:55:20A lot of kids are home early for Passover.
00:55:22They seem to like it.
00:55:22I'll see you next week
00:55:24Soon
00:56:25I mean, masturbating is his own issue, but Hector witnessed the locker incident, and then later semen was found in the library.
00:56:39Who's Hector?
00:56:43How do you know they were both Franks?
00:56:45Well, I suppose it's possible other kids are masturbating and spreading their semen around the school as well.
00:56:53It's possible, but somewhat unlikely.
00:56:57Oh, it happens, I'm sure, much more than we know.
00:56:59Bernard, have you ever done anything like this?
00:57:01I'm not going to answer that.
00:57:03Has anything been going on at home that might have provoked this behavior?
00:57:08Well, Bernard left him behind for three days last week.
00:57:12And of course, Frank's mother divorced me earlier this year, which also might have something to do with it.
00:57:17Uh, Ms. Berkman, I read your story in The New Yorker. I thought it was quite moving.
00:57:25Thanks.
00:57:26Thanks a lot.
00:57:27You're living with a 20-year-old.
00:57:33It's none of your business, Joan.
00:57:34It's my business when you have our kids.
00:57:36It's confusing for them.
00:57:39Frank says Walt's in love with her.
00:57:42Walt has a girlfriend.
00:57:44Fuck off, Joan.
00:57:45I don't ask about you and Ivan.
00:57:49Stay out of my life.
00:57:51I can't believe you talked to me like this.
00:57:53You left all those fucking ticket stubs and letters lying around.
00:57:57You wanted me to know.
00:57:59It was fucking torture, Joan.
00:58:03Fucking torture!
00:58:04Fuck off, Joan.
00:58:13Hey, you.
00:58:15Out there in the cold, getting lonely, getting old.
00:58:19Can you feel me?
00:58:27You made his own interpretation.
00:58:29Well, he's still going to have to give the prize money back.
00:58:32But, obviously, it's a bigger problem.
00:58:35He isn't doing any of his schoolwork, either.
00:58:37His paper on Gatsby was quite brilliant, I thought.
00:58:39It's one of his favorite books.
00:58:41That may be, but I don't believe he's read it.
00:58:44You both should talk to him.
00:58:46I think Bernard has to do it.
00:58:47He wants you to see a therapist.
00:59:00I don't need that.
00:59:01That's what I said.
00:59:02Does Simic know both your parents have PhDs in literature?
00:59:05I've mentioned it.
00:59:06I think he's full of shit.
00:59:08His public schools tend to hire well-meaning, but ultimately unsophisticated bureaucrats.
00:59:12Yeah, I don't like him.
00:59:15But you might have to do it, just to please the school.
00:59:19I don't need it.
00:59:19I don't.
00:59:20And unfortunately, probably a guy with a B.A. in psychology.
00:59:25Not a real shrink.
00:59:26I have an M.A. in developmental psychology from the Yale Child Studies program.
00:59:32Did you get a Ph.D.?
00:59:33No, an M.A. is a master's.
00:59:35Uh-huh.
00:59:36Right.
00:59:37Do you have any thoughts about why you're here, Walt?
00:59:40Not really.
00:59:41You said you wrote the song you played in assembly.
00:59:44Uh-huh.
00:59:45Why?
00:59:45I don't know.
00:59:47Did you have a reason?
00:59:49I felt I could have written it.
00:59:51Okay.
00:59:52But you didn't.
00:59:54It was written by Roger Waters of Pink Floyd.
00:59:56I think you know that.
00:59:58Yes, but I felt I could have, so the fact that it was already written was kind of a technicality.
01:00:02I see.
01:00:03I can imagine this is a little uncomfortable for you to talk about.
01:00:07I guess.
01:00:09It's hard to explain.
01:00:10I wonder how you're feeling right now.
01:00:13I don't know.
01:00:15Why don't you tell me about something less uncomfortable?
01:00:18Like a nice memory, maybe.
01:00:20Isn't that kind of a stock question for a shrink?
01:00:23Yes.
01:00:24That's more or less how this works.
01:00:26I can't think of anything right now.
01:00:27Just think.
01:00:28Come on.
01:00:29Just something.
01:00:31Meet me halfway here.
01:00:33Um.
01:00:35All right, let's see.
01:00:39Okay.
01:00:39Um.
01:00:40When I was around six, my mom and I, she and I ducked out of Julie Lynn's birthday party to watch Robin Hood together on our TV.
01:00:48That sounds like a nice memory.
01:00:50I like Daryl Flynn.
01:00:51Daryl Flynn.
01:00:53That's all?
01:00:54And, and I was glad she let me leave the party early to watch the movie.
01:00:59You know, she and I, she and I loved that movie.
01:01:03It's like, it's like we were pals then.
01:01:06And we'd do things together.
01:01:08And we'd look at the night armor at the Met, the scary fish at the Natural History Museum.
01:01:13I was always afraid of the squid and the whale fighting.
01:01:16I could only look at it with my, my hands in front of my face.
01:01:18When we get home, after my bath, she'd, she'd go through all the different things we saw that day at the museum.
01:01:28And, and, and we'd get to the squid and the whale and, and she'd describe it for me.
01:01:34That, which was, it was still scary, but, but it was less scary.
01:01:38Anyway, it was fun.
01:01:41It was, it was, it was fun to hear about it.
01:01:46Did your dad live at home back then?
01:01:49Yeah, why?
01:01:50You didn't mention him.
01:01:53Where was he during all of this?
01:01:57He was, I don't, I don't know exactly.
01:02:01He was, he was downstairs maybe.
01:02:03I, he didn't ever come to the museum.
01:02:05This was, this was before my brother was born.
01:02:08This was before.
01:02:12It was, it was earlier.
01:02:19Hello?
01:02:26Hello?
01:02:34Why not?
01:02:35I'm just not, okay?
01:02:35Put me in your mouth.
01:02:39Walt.
01:02:41Hi.
01:02:42Hey, Walt.
01:02:45Hi.
01:02:46I'll be right out.
01:02:47We can, uh, hang out.
01:02:49I'll be right out.
01:03:09I'll be right out.
01:03:10I'll be right out.
01:03:11I'll be right out.
01:03:12Hi.
01:03:12Walt here?
01:03:12No.
01:03:14I'd like you to come to my house.
01:03:17Isn't it Mom's night?
01:03:18Yeah, but I'd like you to come over.
01:03:21Um, I have to put on my shoes.
01:03:25Come in, I guess.
01:03:32Place looks different.
01:03:33She got some new furniture in Maine.
01:03:36That was my TV. I bought that TV.
01:03:39Mm-hmm.
01:03:43Huh, that's my Jude the Obscure.
01:03:48Want to take it?
01:03:49No.
01:03:51She still has some of the books she wrote.
01:03:57Dad, why are you taking me to your house on Mom's night?
01:04:05Just a minute.
01:04:13Oh.
01:04:15Hi.
01:04:16Uh, Frank let me in.
01:04:19I didn't realize you were here.
01:04:21I'm here. It's Monday.
01:04:22I'd like to take him for just tonight.
01:04:24I'll give you two Thursdays in a row or something.
01:04:27Mom.
01:04:28It's my night. He wants to stay.
01:04:31Be careful. That's an antique.
01:04:36Where's Walt?
01:04:37I don't know where Walt is.
01:04:39He's not up there.
01:04:40Bernard?
01:04:41He doesn't come here.
01:04:45You should go.
01:04:45You'll see him tomorrow.
01:04:50Tell Walt to call me.
01:05:21Out there on the road, always doing what you're told, can you help me?
01:05:30Hey you, out there beyond the wall, breaking bubbles in the hall, can you help me?
01:05:41Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all.
01:05:51Together we stand, divide it, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall, we fall.
01:05:59I dunked my head in that pond in the park.
01:06:02The one near the zoo? Oh sweetie, that's filthy.
01:06:05I hope you didn't drink any of it.
01:06:07Some may have gone to my mouth, I tried not to swallow.
01:06:14I shouldn't have broken up with Sophie.
01:06:18Why did you?
01:06:19I thought I could do better.
01:06:20Better how?
01:06:26I don't know.
01:06:30That's good, you miss her.
01:06:32Yeah, but I don't see myself as a person who's in this situation, I just don't.
01:06:37I don't see myself this way.
01:06:40Well, this is how it is.
01:06:41Did you ever love Dad?
01:06:45Because if you didn't, why did you ever marry him?
01:06:48If you were going to leave him, why did you put us all through this?
01:06:50It wasn't planned.
01:06:51When we first met, he was unlike anyone.
01:06:55In Columbus, there was no one like your dad.
01:06:58I had had an affair with a man before your father.
01:07:01He worked at the college bookstore.
01:07:03We used to make love in the stock room.
01:07:04Mom, I don't want to hear about your affairs, please.
01:07:08I'm sorry.
01:07:09I'm sorry.
01:07:11I think I don't know what I can say to you.
01:07:13You have a way of saying things sometimes that are a way I don't want to hear them.
01:07:16I know, chicken.
01:07:18It's something I do.
01:07:19It's a bad habit.
01:07:23Do you remember when we watched Robin Hood?
01:07:29He knocked on my window.
01:07:30Bernard, what are you doing?
01:07:32Joan, let me ask you something.
01:07:34All that work I did at the end of our marriage,
01:07:36making dinners, cleaning up, being more attentive,
01:07:38it never was going to make a difference, was it?
01:07:40You were leaving no matter what.
01:07:41You never made a dinner.
01:07:42I made burgers the time you had pneumonia.
01:07:44Only after I insisted.
01:07:46Well, if I had made more dinners, would that have made a difference?
01:07:48I was ready to leave a long time ago.
01:07:50I just didn't know it then.
01:07:52I've been giving it some thought.
01:07:54I mean, you called my father at the last minute.
01:07:56You said something.
01:07:57Whatever you said, he thought I could save the marriage.
01:08:00You felt I wasn't aggressive enough.
01:08:02I'll make more of an effort to do stuff.
01:08:04I've been cooking and doing chores at my house.
01:08:06I make veal cutlets, which the boys love.
01:08:11Why don't we all have dinner and talk more about this?
01:08:14I'm sorry.
01:08:27It's just burgers.
01:08:31I'll sue you, Joan.
01:08:40You know I will.
01:08:41You had an affair for four years with that fucking shrink that ruined our marriage.
01:08:45And I can get the kids.
01:08:46I talk to Eddie Goodman, who works on these cases all the time.
01:08:48And I have an open and shut case.
01:08:50Frank, Walt, get in the car.
01:08:52Sue me?
01:08:53That's...
01:08:53I can't...
01:08:55You only want a joint custody because you pay less child support that way.
01:09:00Because it's cheaper for you.
01:09:03Walt, Frank?
01:09:04I don't want to go.
01:09:05I don't give a shit.
01:09:06Frank, get in the car.
01:09:08Frank!
01:09:08Hey, hey, let him stay.
01:09:09Let him stay.
01:09:10I'm just asking this one thing.
01:09:12Look, he wants to stay.
01:09:13Let him.
01:09:13I'll go.
01:09:13Fine.
01:09:16Hold on.
01:09:20You want him tonight?
01:09:23Okay.
01:09:24Thanks.
01:09:26That's all right, my brother.
01:09:30The cat!
01:09:35I got him.
01:09:36Joan, I got him.
01:09:39I got him.
01:09:44God damn it.
01:09:46Dead!
01:09:47Did you see him go?
01:09:47I'm moving it!
01:09:50Fuck off.
01:09:52You all right?
01:09:59I had him.
01:10:01Joan, call an ambulance.
01:10:04Walt, get in the car.
01:10:06You're calling me a bitch?
01:10:18No.
01:10:18Don't you remember the last line of Godard's Buddha souffle?
01:10:19Bobondo called Seabird a bitch.
01:10:20I got you in for the children's price.
01:10:21You were pregnant with a lot.
01:10:21Like six weeks.
01:10:22I don't know.
01:10:22You're calling me a bitch.
01:10:23I got you in for the children's price.
01:10:24You were pregnant with a lot.
01:10:24I got you in for a children's ticket.
01:10:25You told me you didn't like Godard.
01:10:27I got you in for the children's price.
01:10:28I got you in for the children's price.
01:10:32I got you in for the children's price.
01:10:33You were pregnant with a lot.
01:10:34Like six weeks.
01:10:35I still got you in for a children's ticket.
01:10:39You told me you didn't like Godard.
01:10:41You told me you didn't like Godard.
01:10:43You thought the jump cuts were broke.
01:10:46I checked for the cat behind the ash cans under the Gladner's stoop.
01:10:56Okay.
01:10:58Whoo!
01:10:59Damn it.
01:11:02I didn't write it.
01:11:13I know.
01:11:15I think Floyd did.
01:11:17Do you think we'll find him?
01:11:19I hope so.
01:11:23Do you think one day we could go to the Galapagos?
01:11:28I don't know, Pickle.
01:11:29Ivan and I could take you to the country on Saturday to see some real turtles.
01:11:39Saturday's Dad's day.
01:11:46There's my son.
01:11:47Hey.
01:11:49Are you okay?
01:11:50I'm fine.
01:11:51I thought it was a heart attack, but I think I'm just exhausted.
01:11:55Doctor said I'm exhausted.
01:11:57Too many veal cutlets?
01:11:59Maybe.
01:12:02Is that a good book?
01:12:04Oh, this is pulp.
01:12:05It's not serious.
01:12:06It's hard to read a good book in the hospital.
01:12:08But this isn't bad of its kind.
01:12:10Leonard is the fillet of the crime genre.
01:12:16I'd like you to stay here for the day.
01:12:19I need the company.
01:12:21Okay.
01:12:22Lily moved out.
01:12:25Do me a favor.
01:12:31Go out in the hall and get me another pillow.
01:12:33My neck is hurting.
01:12:34Maybe we could even things out a bit and I could stay at Mom's a few extra nights because
01:12:48I've been staying more at yours.
01:12:49It's not a good time right now.
01:12:50I'm not going to be 100% for a while.
01:12:52I'd like you around.
01:12:53I don't think I want to come for a while.
01:12:55Well, it's not up to you, Walt.
01:12:56You're a minor.
01:12:57You're in my custody.
01:12:58My home is your home, too.
01:13:02I'm not coming.
01:13:03I don't know why.
01:13:07That hurts my feelings.
01:13:12It'll be difficult.
01:13:15If you like, we can get you some more posters.
01:13:18Make your room better.
01:13:19Paint it a different color.
01:13:20I can lend you my first edition of The Naked and the Dead.
01:13:34As a present.
01:13:37Let me get you a pillow.
01:13:50You used to be very emotional when you were younger.
01:14:03Did I look pretty silly out there, falling on the concrete?
01:14:06Yeah.
01:14:10What?
01:14:11What are you laughing at?
01:14:13It was funny how you said, yeah, good comic timing.
01:14:16Thanks.
01:14:20Why don't we get some breakfast?
01:14:23See if you can find a nurse out there.
01:14:28Try to get the blonde.
01:14:30She looks like a young Monica Vitti.
01:14:33Oh, excuse me.
01:14:34Hmm?
01:14:34The man in that room wants to order some breakfast.
01:14:37Okay.
01:14:50Oh, excuse me.
01:14:52Do you know what I'm going to do?
01:14:58Oh, Jesus.
01:15:03Oh, my God.
01:15:04Oh, my God.
01:15:09Oh, my God.
01:15:10Oh.
01:15:11Oh, I was wrong.
01:15:12Oh, my God.
01:15:13Oh, my God.
01:15:13Oh, my God.
01:15:14Oh, my God.
01:15:14Oh, my God.
01:15:16Oh, my God.
01:15:16Oh, my God.
01:15:19Oh, my God.
01:15:20Oh, my God.
01:16:20I'm on fire and you know I admire your body.
01:16:24Why don't we slip away?
01:16:27Oh, sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la, hey baby, come on, let's slip away.
01:16:35Love has gone away and there's no one here now and there's nothing left to say.
01:16:52But oh, how I miss him, baby.
01:16:59Oh, baby, come on, let's slip away.
01:17:04Come on, baby, why don't you slip away?
01:17:12Love has gone away, took the rings off my fingers and there's nothing left to say.
01:17:29But oh, how, oh, how I need him, baby.
01:17:35Come on, baby, I need you, baby.
01:17:39Oh, please don't slip away.
01:17:41I need you, love, and so that they, please don't slip away.
01:17:49This summer I went swimming, this summer I might have drowned.
01:18:04But I held my breath and I kicked my feet and I moved my arms around, I moved my arms around.
01:18:12This summer I swam in the ocean and I swam in a swimming pool.
01:18:17Soft my wounds, purine my eyes, I'm a self-destructive fool.
01:18:22I'm a self-destructive fool.
01:18:37This summer I did the backstroke and you know that that's not all.
01:18:43I did the breaststroke and the butterfly and the old Australian crawl, the old Australian crawl.
01:18:50This summer I swam in a public place in a reservoir to boot.
01:18:56At the ladder I was informal.
01:18:59At the former I wore my suit.
01:19:01I wore my swimming suit, yeah.
01:19:03This summer I did swan dives and jackknives for you all.
01:19:21But once when you weren't looking, I did a cannonball, did a cannonball.
01:19:30This summer I went swimming, this summer I might have drowned.
01:19:35But I held my breath and I kicked my feet and I moved my arms around, moved my arms around.
