-LAUGHTER -All right, hold up. | 0:01:03 | 0:01:06 | |
Someone has to say something nice about my friend Herb tonight, | 0:01:06 | 0:01:09 | |
so I'm going to give it a shot. | 0:01:09 | 0:01:12 | |
I have followed Herb Lee my whole writing career. | 0:01:12 | 0:01:14 | |
I followed him through three publishing houses, I followed him when he started his own. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:19 | |
It's embarrassing to need your editor so badly. | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
So I'm gratified to announce that he has now followed me | 0:01:22 | 0:01:25 | |
to Central Connecticut. Thank you very much. | 0:01:25 | 0:01:28 | |
I didn't follow you. I had three heart attacks. | 0:01:28 | 0:01:31 | |
-This was a pre-emptive strike against decrepitude. -LAUGHTER | 0:01:31 | 0:01:35 | |
Well, whatever brought you here to the beautiful Marigold Retirement Community, | 0:01:35 | 0:01:39 | |
I'm glad that you're here, right down the road from my place, | 0:01:39 | 0:01:42 | |
and as long as Pippa keeps making that butterflied lamb, | 0:01:42 | 0:01:45 | |
I'll do anything, Herb, I'll even caddy for you. | 0:01:45 | 0:01:47 | |
-That's fine, as long as I don't have to play golf. -Wait, one more thing. I just want to say something else. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:53 | |
I have known Pippa Lee for 25 years... | 0:01:53 | 0:01:57 | |
and I think that I will never really know her. | 0:01:57 | 0:02:00 | |
She is a mystery. An enigma. | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
Giving, caring, beautiful, intelligent, | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
the very icon of an artist's wife. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:11 | |
-What are you talking about? -No, you are. | 0:02:11 | 0:02:14 | |
And who precisely is this artist that Pippa's married to? | 0:02:14 | 0:02:18 | |
LAUGHTER Exactly! | 0:02:18 | 0:02:21 | |
Yes, that's my point! That's what it's come down to. | 0:02:21 | 0:02:24 | |
The one true artist's wife left and she ended up with a publisher. | 0:02:24 | 0:02:27 | |
To Herb and Pippa and their weird new condo. | 0:02:27 | 0:02:31 | |
Yeah, I just, er... got three new poems. | 0:02:31 | 0:02:35 | |
Wonderful! | 0:02:35 | 0:02:36 | |
If you'd ever like to show them to somebody who's non-judgemental, | 0:02:36 | 0:02:39 | |
I'd be happy to take a look at them. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:41 | |
Really? I would like that. That would mean so much to me. | 0:02:41 | 0:02:44 | |
I really wish Sam wouldn't keep saying Daddy moved to be near him. | 0:02:44 | 0:02:48 | |
He's a satirist. Anyway, nothing's going to put a dent in Herb's ego. | 0:02:48 | 0:02:52 | |
It's you I'm worried about. | 0:02:52 | 0:02:55 | |
It's time for dessert. | 0:02:55 | 0:02:56 | |
But, Herb, what is the real reason you moved here? | 0:02:56 | 0:03:01 | |
Scaling down, making life more simple. | 0:03:01 | 0:03:03 | |
I've liquidated everything so that when I go, | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Pip and the kids can get everything and not give it to the government. | 0:03:06 | 0:03:09 | |
I thought you loved paying taxes. | 0:03:09 | 0:03:12 | |
I have to admit, I actually like this house. It's so easy. | 0:03:12 | 0:03:16 | |
I'm glad you feel that way, sweetie. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:18 | |
(Though I can't help wondering how many people died here.) | 0:03:18 | 0:03:22 | |
Your problem is you're too adaptable. You're the adaptable enigma. | 0:03:22 | 0:03:25 | |
'To be perfectly honest, I've had enough of being an enigma. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
'I want to be known. | 0:03:38 | 0:03:40 | |
'Like many people, I have lived more than one life, | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
'so we're going to have to start at the beginning.' | 0:03:50 | 0:03:53 | |
Breathe. Breathe. | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
Shut up! | 0:03:55 | 0:03:56 | |
I see the head. Come on, one good push! | 0:03:56 | 0:03:59 | |
AAARGH! Oh, fuck you! | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
-BABY CRIES -Good girl. | 0:04:02 | 0:04:04 | |
'My birth was marked by several unusual occurrences. | 0:04:04 | 0:04:07 | |
'First of all, I was covered in fine blonde fur.' | 0:04:07 | 0:04:11 | |
-BABY CRIES -Why is she furry?! | 0:04:11 | 0:04:14 | |
When a baby's this late, it sometimes grows | 0:04:14 | 0:04:16 | |
a little vestigial hair, from the time that we were monkeys. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
-I had a monkey! I had a monkey! -Nurse! | 0:04:20 | 0:04:26 | |
You can expect to have a beautiful baby girl. | 0:04:26 | 0:04:28 | |
The hair is just vestigial, as I tried to tell your wife. | 0:04:28 | 0:04:31 | |
I'm sorry if it offends you, Father, | 0:04:31 | 0:04:33 | |
but we believe, millions of years ago, humans were covered with fur. | 0:04:33 | 0:04:36 | |
-I know that. -So, is it a baby or a pet? | 0:04:36 | 0:04:40 | |
'Suky knew my condition had nothing to do with evolution. | 0:04:40 | 0:04:45 | |
'It was all her fault, because my mother had a secret, | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
'her own little stash of sin.' | 0:04:48 | 0:04:51 | |
WHISTLES | 0:04:51 | 0:04:54 | |
How's my pal? | 0:04:56 | 0:04:58 | |
I'm OK. | 0:04:58 | 0:05:00 | |
Are you having a hard time living here in Wrinkleberry? | 0:05:01 | 0:05:04 | |
It's strange having so much time on my hands. | 0:05:04 | 0:05:08 | |
This place is so easy to maintain, but there's going to be charity work I can find. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:12 | |
You wanna move back to the city? | 0:05:12 | 0:05:14 | |
We just sold our apartment. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
Well, we can get another one. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:18 | |
-Are you serious? -No. | 0:05:18 | 0:05:20 | |
I'm just having a hard time thinking of this as the end of the line. | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
I think it's sort of romantic, | 0:05:29 | 0:05:31 | |
starting all over, just the two of us. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
So little stuff. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:37 | |
Must you always look on the bright side? | 0:05:37 | 0:05:40 | |
-Can I get you anything? Some carrot juice? -No, I'm fine. | 0:05:42 | 0:05:47 | |
What was that cheese we had for lunch yesterday? | 0:05:53 | 0:05:56 | |
It was Vacherin. I was so excited to find that at the market. | 0:05:56 | 0:05:59 | |
I love that cheese. | 0:05:59 | 0:06:01 | |
'Once I lost my furry coat, my mother was so relieved | 0:06:13 | 0:06:17 | |
'that she became sort of obsessed with my appearance. | 0:06:17 | 0:06:20 | |
'She even took a drawing course at the town hall, | 0:06:20 | 0:06:23 | |
'the sole purpose of which was making pictures of me.' | 0:06:23 | 0:06:25 | |
Aw, sweetheart, you have the most beautiful eyes. | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
I think God took all of our best features and put them on your face. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:32 | |
Don't you move. Almost done. | 0:06:32 | 0:06:36 | |

The cleaning lady. | 0:07:50 | 0:07:52 | |
But I really can't see Miss Fanning breaking in with a few friends | 0:07:55 | 0:07:59 | |
to have chocolate cake in the middle of the night. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:02 | |
-And the maintenance people. -You think it was me? Am I losing my marbles? | 0:08:02 | 0:08:05 | |
I wasn't saying that. I wasn't... | 0:08:05 | 0:08:08 | |
-Hi! -There she is. Hi, sweetie! -Hi, Daddy! | 0:08:08 | 0:08:13 | |
-You look great! -Oh, thanks. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:16 | |
-Hey, Mom. -Hi. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:17 | |
I'm starving. Can I get lamb chops? | 0:08:18 | 0:08:21 | |
-You can get anything you want. Do you want a drink first? -Yeah. | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
Oh, Ben says, uh... he can't make it until later, | 0:08:24 | 0:08:27 | |
so we should just order without him. | 0:08:27 | 0:08:29 | |
OK, these are just work prints, but... | 0:08:29 | 0:08:33 | |
-Oh, my God. -..you get the idea. | 0:08:33 | 0:08:35 | |
That's incredible. It's amazing... | 0:08:37 | 0:08:40 | |
Were you in a doorway? Where were you when you took this? | 0:08:40 | 0:08:45 | |
Yeah, I just waited there. I knew they were coming back. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:48 | |
That's incredibly powerful. Look at this. | 0:08:48 | 0:08:50 | |
Oh! | 0:08:52 | 0:08:54 | |
-These are so...powerful. -These are wonderful. | 0:08:56 | 0:08:58 | |
-Just wonderful. -Grace, this... | 0:08:58 | 0:09:00 | |
Hmm. Were you alone when you took these? | 0:09:02 | 0:09:05 | |
-No, we had a guide. -You had a guide? | 0:09:05 | 0:09:07 | |
-And I hitched a ride with...Giles Oppenheim. -With Giles Oppenheim? -Mm-hmm. | 0:09:07 | 0:09:12 | |
-How did you manage that? -He kind of adopted me. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:15 | |
-Did you hear about that photographer that got shot in Baghdad last week? -Uh-huh. | 0:09:15 | 0:09:20 | |
You heard about the bomb? | 0:09:22 | 0:09:25 | |
-Ben, shut up. -What bomb? -No, it's nothing. Ben! | 0:09:25 | 0:09:27 | |
She was with that Oppenheim fellow and they heard the whistle. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:32 | |
WHISTLES | 0:09:32 | 0:09:33 | |
He wanted to go left, but she saw an alley towards the right and she pulled him towards it, | 0:09:33 | 0:09:38 | |
and that's when the bomb hit. And if they'd gone left, | 0:09:38 | 0:09:41 | |
they would have been smashed to smithereens. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:44 | |
She thinks she's immortal now. | 0:09:44 | 0:09:46 | |
That's a complete distortion. Why can't you ever not say something? | 0:09:46 | 0:09:50 | |
I do not know. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:52 | |
Everybody knows you're a killer but you gotta be careful. You have to use common sense. | 0:09:52 | 0:09:56 | |
I do. Dad, look... There's no way that I'm not going to go back. | 0:09:56 | 0:10:01 | |
If you had seen what I saw, you'd feel the same. You'd want to give these people some sort of dignity. | 0:10:01 | 0:10:06 | |
-Just be careful. -Anyway, I'm going to Baghdad Saturday. | 0:10:06 | 0:10:10 | |
-What's new with you? -Oh...I found a book. A real cash cow. | 0:10:10 | 0:10:15 | |
Since when do you say "cash cow"? | 0:10:18 | 0:10:20 | |
-I never said it because I never found one before. -What's it about? | 0:10:20 | 0:10:24 | |
Oh, it's about war and romance and, er, bad weather. | 0:10:24 | 0:10:29 | |
Is it good? | 0:10:29 | 0:10:31 | |
A certain kind of good. Highbrow for lowbrows or lowbrow for highbrows. | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
Summer reading for people with multi-million-dollar beach homes. | 0:10:35 | 0:10:39 | |
-Used to be us. -Yeah, but we still wouldn't have read this book. | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
So how are you, Ben? How is your paper coming? | 0:10:43 | 0:10:46 | |
-It's fine. -What's it about? | 0:10:46 | 0:10:48 | |
-The right to die. -The right to die? | 0:10:48 | 0:10:50 | |
Or the right to kill. | 0:10:50 | 0:10:52 | |

Oh, no, I-I've already had some. | 0:12:44 | 0:12:47 | |
-This is my son, Ben. -Oh, the lawyer? | 0:12:47 | 0:12:50 | |
-Not yet. Nice to meet you. -And Herb. You met Herb. | 0:12:50 | 0:12:53 | |
-Oh, hi, Herb. -Hi. | 0:12:53 | 0:12:56 | |
Oh, my Lord. | 0:12:56 | 0:12:57 | |
That's Mr Swaggart. He needed to go. | 0:12:57 | 0:13:01 | |
Um, h-have a seat. | 0:13:03 | 0:13:06 | |
You know, there are other young wives here. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:09 | |
You see them...jogging around. | 0:13:09 | 0:13:12 | |
-Is everything OK? -Well, yes, we're...we're fine. | 0:13:12 | 0:13:16 | |
But my son, um...Chris... | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
-In Utah? -Yes. | 0:13:21 | 0:13:24 | |
He might be coming...east. | 0:13:24 | 0:13:26 | |
Oh, that should be nice, if they would move near you. | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
The thing is, he's had some kind of crisis with his wife, and... | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
..he's left her... | 0:13:34 | 0:13:36 | |
..and he's...he's living in his car. | 0:13:38 | 0:13:41 | |
I just don't know what to do. | 0:13:41 | 0:13:44 | |
He was always sort of half-baked. | 0:13:44 | 0:13:46 | |
You know what I mean? | 0:13:48 | 0:13:49 | |
You know, it's painful, I know... | 0:13:53 | 0:13:56 | |
..but sometimes you just have to maybe accept they are who they are. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:02 | |

-He's living in his car? -Yes, she said he was half-baked. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |

Hello? | 0:14:26 | 0:14:27 | |
Hello, Marianne. | 0:14:27 | 0:14:29 | |
What? | 0:14:29 | 0:14:32 | |
What? No, tell him 45 is the absolute top offer. | 0:14:32 | 0:14:36 | |
Well, if he goes somewhere else, he goes somewhere else. | 0:14:38 | 0:14:40 | |
Stop worrying. Everything's fine. You're doing a fantastic job. | 0:14:40 | 0:14:44 | |
Have a nice morning, Marianne. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:46 | |
God! That woman's going to drive me crazy! | 0:14:46 | 0:14:48 | |
Your blood pressure went from 120/90 to 148/100 in that one conversation. | 0:14:48 | 0:14:52 | |
Since when did you become a registered nurse? | 0:14:52 | 0:14:55 | |
-A little appreciation for your ministering angel... -Would you rather go to the doctor's office? | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
That woman's going to drive me crazy. We gotta change our number. | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
-Can we get an office? -An office? Why?! | 0:15:03 | 0:15:05 | |
I spent 40 years building up this company and they're crapping it up. | 0:15:05 | 0:15:09 | |
They're children there. Absolute babies. | 0:15:09 | 0:15:11 | |
If I had an office, I can be there from ten to one, | 0:15:11 | 0:15:13 | |
I could talk to Marianne, read my manuscripts and then, when I come home, boom - I'm retired. | 0:15:13 | 0:15:18 | |
That way when you and I are together we're really together. | 0:15:18 | 0:15:21 | |
-You had three serious heart attacks. Is that not enough for you? -Yeah. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:26 | |
-I gotta go. -Bye, sweetheart. | 0:15:26 | 0:15:28 | |
-Love you. -See you. | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |

Thank you for having me. That's for you and Dot. | 0:16:57 | 0:17:00 | |
I...wish you would keep an eye on Dot. | 0:17:00 | 0:17:02 | |
She's having a hard time. I know she talks to you. | 0:17:02 | 0:17:07 | |
Well, sure. Um, where is she? | 0:17:07 | 0:17:09 | |

I told her this was a bad idea. It's right down the hall. | 0:17:17 | 0:17:22 | |
-OK. -Spare bedroom. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:23 | |
-Get her to drink a Pepsi-Cola or something. -OK. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:26 | |
I'm not going out there! | 0:17:26 | 0:17:28 | |
You can go out there for five minutes. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |

Um, it's Pippa Lee. I'm looking for Dot. | 0:17:38 | 0:17:40 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:17:40 | 0:17:42 | |
Um, hi, Dot. Johnnie asked me to find you. | 0:17:45 | 0:17:48 | |
Well, look at me. I can't go out there. | 0:17:48 | 0:17:52 | |
I'm Pippa Lee. | 0:17:53 | 0:17:56 | |
Chris. | 0:17:56 | 0:17:58 | |
Oh, why are you putting that on? | 0:18:02 | 0:18:05 | |
I ironed you that shirt I got you. | 0:18:05 | 0:18:09 | |
Excuse me, but there's something I need to do. | 0:18:09 | 0:18:12 | |
Where are you going? | 0:18:12 | 0:18:14 | |

It's why she never sleeps, why she acts so weird. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:54 | |
Mom doesn't act weird. | 0:18:54 | 0:18:56 | |

It's my medicine. Can you put it back, please? | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |

Chester doesn't know what he's talking about. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:21 | |
So what would happen if you didn't take them? | 0:19:21 | 0:19:23 | |
I'd get fat, like Grandma Sally. Is that what you want? | 0:19:23 | 0:19:27 | |
You all want me to walk around like some sick walrus? | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
-No. -How about you just let me do my work? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:35 | |
Better yet, why don't you help me? Why doesn't anybody around here help me?! | 0:19:35 | 0:19:40 | |

Stop being so overdramatic. You're blowing this way out of proportion. | 0:20:01 | 0:20:06 | |
So stop. I don't care if you get fat. | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |

I haven't yet. Why do you ask? | 0:26:47 | 0:26:50 | |

You pretend it's not going to work when you know it is. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:48 | |
I have an idea. Why don't you finish all my conversations for me, | 0:27:48 | 0:27:52 | |

I'm not running away. | 0:30:32 | 0:30:34 | |
I'm just done, that's all. | 0:30:34 | 0:30:36 | |
What does that mean, you're done? | 0:30:38 | 0:30:39 | |
It means I don't wanna live with you. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:44 | |
-Oh, so this is all my fault. -What's all your fault? -What you did to me! | 0:30:44 | 0:30:50 | |
I didn't do anything to you. | 0:30:52 | 0:30:54 | |
I'm done. Don't you get it? | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
You're not even going to come home for Christmas any more? | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
No, I didn't say that. I... | 0:31:03 | 0:31:05 | |
Of course I will, Mom. | 0:31:05 | 0:31:07 | |
I just... I think it's better if I don't live there any more. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:14 | |
What...what did I do to you? | 0:31:14 | 0:31:17 | |
What did I do to you to make you so secretive and unhappy? | 0:31:19 | 0:31:22 | |
Nothing. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:26 | |
-What did I do to you? -Please, Mom. | 0:31:27 | 0:31:31 | |

Don't be sad. | 0:31:37 | 0:31:39 | |
No, no, you don't be sad, honey, honey. | 0:31:39 | 0:31:42 | |
My baby. It's OK. I love you so much. | 0:31:42 | 0:31:46 | |
It'll be OK, OK? | 0:31:49 | 0:31:51 | |
-I can't. I can't! -Pippa? | 0:31:54 | 0:31:56 | |

I can't take it any more. He's such a prick. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
Aw. Sam can have a mean sense of humour. | 0:32:56 | 0:32:59 | |
Look, maybe if you laughed along? | 0:32:59 | 0:33:02 | |
I have been laughing for four years and now I'm crying. | 0:33:02 | 0:33:05 | |
I think Sandra's having an affair. | 0:33:05 | 0:33:08 | |
What makes you think so? | 0:33:08 | 0:33:12 | |
Well, she's talking about splitting with Sam, and... | 0:33:12 | 0:33:16 | |
she's terrified of being on her own, you know, and it just adds up. | 0:33:16 | 0:33:19 | |
Maybe she just wants you to think she's having an affair, | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
so you'd tell me, and I'd tell Sam, and he starts treating her better. | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
You really think Sandra's that conniving? | 0:33:26 | 0:33:29 | |
-It's what women are like, a lot of them. -Conniving? | 0:33:31 | 0:33:33 | |
No, it's not conniving, it's human nature. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
It's survival of the fittest. Need I refresh your memory? | 0:33:36 | 0:33:40 | |
Never mind. | 0:33:40 | 0:33:42 | |
I don't like this book. | 0:33:44 | 0:33:46 | |
I'm going to sleep. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:49 | |
I still think she's having an affair. | 0:33:55 | 0:33:57 | |
Oh, by the way, I think I found you an office. | 0:34:00 | 0:34:04 | |
-This is perfect. -Oh, I'm so happy. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
It only took two days to get the furniture. | 0:34:09 | 0:34:12 | |

Oh, God. You look so beautiful. | 0:35:35 | 0:35:38 | |
What are you doing different? | 0:35:38 | 0:35:41 | |
It's the indolence. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:42 | |
I wish I could be peaceful and good like you. | 0:35:42 | 0:35:46 | |
Good? | 0:35:46 | 0:35:48 | |
-What is it? -I just... | 0:35:51 | 0:35:54 | |
It's over between Sam and me. | 0:35:54 | 0:35:56 | |
Oh... | 0:35:56 | 0:35:59 | |
And it's just all so completely, completely messed up, | 0:35:59 | 0:36:03 | |
and I don't know what to do. | 0:36:03 | 0:36:05 | |
I'm never going to have a normal life. | 0:36:06 | 0:36:09 | |
You can be married to anybody, if that's what you're worried about. | 0:36:11 | 0:36:15 | |
Anybody? | 0:36:15 | 0:36:18 | |
Marriage is an act of will. | 0:36:18 | 0:36:21 | |
I mean, I adore Herb, | 0:36:21 | 0:36:22 | |
but our marriage functions because we will it to. | 0:36:22 | 0:36:26 | |
If you leave love to hold everything together, you can forget it. | 0:36:26 | 0:36:31 | |
Love comes and goes with the breeze, minute by minute. | 0:36:31 | 0:36:34 | |
But you make it sound all so unromantic. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
Pick any man over 50 here. Either one of us could be married to him. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:43 | |
Um, what about that one? | 0:36:44 | 0:36:45 | |
He just needs his routines, that's all. | 0:36:48 | 0:36:51 | |
I bet, if you anticipate his needs before he knows he has them, he'll be docile as a lamb. | 0:36:51 | 0:36:57 | |
That one? | 0:36:58 | 0:36:59 | |
He needs a lot of praise, | 0:37:01 | 0:37:04 | |
but so long as you stick your finger up his ass while he's coming, | 0:37:04 | 0:37:07 | |
he won't give you any trouble at all. I'm kidding. I was kidding. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
'I wonder if maybe I'm having a very quiet nervous breakdown.' | 0:37:12 | 0:37:15 | |
Oh, did you get the boots? | 0:37:15 | 0:37:18 | |
Yes. I mean, they're on hold, but I got 'em. I did it. | 0:37:18 | 0:37:22 | |
Good. Good for you. You deserve them. | 0:37:22 | 0:37:25 | |
Mrs Lee? | 0:38:17 | 0:38:18 | |
-I want some cigarettes. -What kind? | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
The white ones. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:32 | |
Marlboro Lights? | 0:38:32 | 0:38:34 | |
Pippa. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
Oh, my God. | 0:38:50 | 0:38:53 | |
It's OK. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
Would you like me to drive you home? | 0:39:00 | 0:39:03 | |
Maybe you shouldn't tell anyone about this. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:19 | |
I'll try not to. | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
You'll try not to? | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
It might slip out one day. | 0:39:25 | 0:39:28 | |
What? | 0:39:28 | 0:39:29 | |
I think I just figured out what's so odd about you. | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
You can't lie, can you? | 0:39:43 | 0:39:45 | |
OK. Well, thank you. | 0:39:53 | 0:39:56 | |
What's up? | 0:40:35 | 0:40:37 | |
Pippa, for Chrissakes, I'm not dead yet. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
I'm sorry. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:44 | |
'Aunt Trish's apartment was a haven | 0:40:50 | 0:40:52 | |
'after the hysteria of my mother's household. | 0:40:52 | 0:40:56 | |
'I fit in easily with the two of them, | 0:40:56 | 0:41:00 | |
'but was secretly fascinated by Kat. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:03 | |
'Maybe because she seemed a little bit dangerous.' | 0:41:03 | 0:41:08 | |
-Bye. -Bye, baby. | 0:41:08 | 0:41:10 | |
So, chicklet... Boom, boom! What's your favourite subject? | 0:41:19 | 0:41:23 | |
Um, I don't really have one. | 0:41:23 | 0:41:26 | |
-Well, what do you like? -Nothing in particular. | 0:41:26 | 0:41:29 | |
-You must be good at something. -Nope. | 0:41:29 | 0:41:33 | |
For the record, I think you're special. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:35 | |
-Special how? -Special like I can't believe you landed in my lap. | 0:41:35 | 0:41:38 | |
-KNOCK AT DOOR -Almost makes me believe in destiny. | 0:41:38 | 0:41:41 | |
-Hey. -Hey. | 0:41:44 | 0:41:46 | |
-This is my friend Shelly. -Wow. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:49 | |
Shelly, this is Pippa. | 0:41:49 | 0:41:51 | |
-You were right. She's perfect. -Mm-hm. | 0:41:51 | 0:41:54 | |
Let's get this show on the road! Whoo-hoo! | 0:41:54 | 0:41:57 | |
So...what do I do? | 0:41:57 | 0:41:59 | |
When I was in the film business, | 0:41:59 | 0:42:02 | |
we never asked questions. We just showed up and let shit happen. | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
Just look at the camera like it's someone you know and don't like. | 0:42:06 | 0:42:09 | |
That's the secret. Yeah, like that. That's Kitty. | 0:42:09 | 0:42:12 | |
-Who's Kitty? -The girl in the novel she's writing. | 0:42:12 | 0:42:15 | |
-That's what the pictures are for. -Kitty is... | 0:42:15 | 0:42:19 | |
every woman's wild side. She's fearless. | 0:42:19 | 0:42:22 | |
Don't you wish you were fearless? | 0:42:22 | 0:42:24 | |
I guess so. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:26 | |
Yeah, if you were, you wouldn't cry every time you hung up the phone | 0:42:26 | 0:42:29 | |
after talking to your mommy. | 0:42:29 | 0:42:31 | |
You'd forget the past. | 0:42:31 | 0:42:33 | |
Is that what you do? | 0:42:33 | 0:42:35 | |
I'm the girl from Pluto. I'm a scary thing. | 0:42:35 | 0:42:40 | |
-Can we get doughnuts? -Later! | 0:42:40 | 0:42:42 | |
OK, this is the scene where Mrs Washington comes home and finds you in her playpen. | 0:42:42 | 0:42:47 | |
Who's Mrs Washington? | 0:42:47 | 0:42:49 | |
Mrs Washington is the woman who owns the mansion where you're at | 0:42:49 | 0:42:53 | |
and, one day, you come home and you decide to play with her kids' toys. | 0:42:53 | 0:42:56 | |
OK. So, listen, you have to be really upset, so I need you to think of something sad. | 0:42:56 | 0:43:02 | |
I'm just not really feeling anything. | 0:43:02 | 0:43:04 | |
OK. Let's go. | 0:43:06 | 0:43:08 | |
Come on, let's go. Come on, Shell. | 0:43:09 | 0:43:12 | |
Is she going to hurt you? No, don't let her take the baby! | 0:43:14 | 0:43:18 | |
That's right, that's your baby. Good. Yeah. That is perfect. | 0:43:18 | 0:43:21 | |
Yeah, now the spanking, all right? | 0:43:21 | 0:43:24 | |
-What? -It's just...it's pretend. | 0:43:24 | 0:43:26 | |
Is this good? | 0:43:26 | 0:43:28 | |
-Go. -Ow! -Christ! -Sorry! -No, I said pretend! | 0:43:30 | 0:43:34 | |
Sorry. | 0:43:34 | 0:43:36 | |
You all right? | 0:43:36 | 0:43:37 | |
You wanna do it again? | 0:43:39 | 0:43:41 | |
Yeah. | 0:43:41 | 0:43:42 | |
OK. | 0:43:44 | 0:43:46 | |
Let's do another one. | 0:43:46 | 0:43:48 | |
Whoops. | 0:43:48 | 0:43:50 | |
How do you feel, Kitty? | 0:43:50 | 0:43:52 | |
Yeah, that's right. OK. | 0:43:54 | 0:43:55 | |
Pull the leash, that's right. Go on, little puppy dog. That looks great. | 0:43:55 | 0:44:00 | |
'I let those two weeks of my life happen | 0:44:00 | 0:44:04 | |
'because, in a way, I felt I had no choice. | 0:44:04 | 0:44:07 | |
'That's not quite true, though. It wasn't coercion. | 0:44:07 | 0:44:11 | |
'I liked the attention, and... | 0:44:11 | 0:44:13 | |
'Oh, I don't know. Anyway... | 0:44:13 | 0:44:15 | |
'Aunt Trish came home sick. | 0:44:15 | 0:44:18 | |
CAMERA CLICKS | 0:44:18 | 0:44:20 | |
'That was the end of my stay with Aunt Trish.' | 0:44:33 | 0:44:36 | |
-You slept late. -I'm sorry. It took me ages to fall asleep. | 0:44:40 | 0:44:44 | |
OK, I'm off. | 0:44:46 | 0:44:48 | |
See you at lunch. | 0:44:48 | 0:44:51 | |
-Do you want anything from the market other than the apricot spread? -No. | 0:44:51 | 0:44:54 | |
-What? -Since we moved to the old folks' home, you look younger. | 0:44:57 | 0:45:01 | |
That's just because I'm not setting my hair. | 0:45:01 | 0:45:03 | |
OK. | 0:45:03 | 0:45:05 | |
SHE GASPS | 0:45:05 | 0:45:07 | |
Chris? | 0:45:23 | 0:45:25 | |
I'm sorry. It's Pippa Lee. | 0:45:25 | 0:45:27 | |
I'm so sorry to disturb you. | 0:45:29 | 0:45:31 | |
I forgot I'd left my car at the convenience store. | 0:45:31 | 0:45:35 | |
I'll just wait out here. OK. | 0:45:35 | 0:45:37 | |
Your mother told me you're going through a hard time. | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
You could say that. | 0:45:48 | 0:45:50 | |
Fired from my job at the men's shelter, | 0:45:50 | 0:45:52 | |
I come home to find my wife sitting on top of my best friend. | 0:45:52 | 0:45:55 | |
Wow. That's bad. | 0:45:55 | 0:45:59 | |
Yeah, well, there's probably a good reason for it all. | 0:45:59 | 0:46:02 | |
What? | 0:46:02 | 0:46:04 | |
I'm an asshole. | 0:46:05 | 0:46:07 | |
-You are? -I don't know why, I just always have been. | 0:46:07 | 0:46:12 | |
That tattoo you have must have hurt terribly. | 0:46:15 | 0:46:19 | |
I tried to join a Jesuit seminary once when I was 17. | 0:46:19 | 0:46:22 | |
-You were going to be a priest? -Yeah. | 0:46:24 | 0:46:27 | |
But they rejected my application. | 0:46:28 | 0:46:31 | |
Do you still have a vocation? | 0:46:35 | 0:46:37 | |
Just the tattoo. | 0:46:37 | 0:46:40 | |
What made you lose your faith? | 0:46:42 | 0:46:44 | |
I just stopped believing | 0:46:46 | 0:46:48 | |
God was a mystery you could nail down with one book. | 0:46:48 | 0:46:52 | |
But by that time, my parents had written me off as a fuck-up, | 0:46:52 | 0:46:55 | |
I was married to a Jesus-freak, | 0:46:55 | 0:46:58 | |
and I was just as pissed off at the world as when I was a Christian. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:01 | |
Which brings us more or less up to date, give or take a decade. | 0:47:01 | 0:47:06 | |
What are you thinking? | 0:47:09 | 0:47:11 | |
I was just thinking that you seem like... | 0:47:13 | 0:47:15 | |
What? | 0:47:15 | 0:47:17 | |
Just that you seem so bright. | 0:47:17 | 0:47:19 | |
It's a pity you never settled on any real work. | 0:47:19 | 0:47:23 | |
It would make your life so much easier. | 0:47:23 | 0:47:26 | |
-OK. Well, thank you. -I didn't mean to offend you. | 0:47:27 | 0:47:29 | |
I suggest you go back to that little life you've puffed up for yourself. | 0:47:29 | 0:47:33 | |
I'm sure you're very happy underneath all that anxiety. | 0:47:33 | 0:47:37 | |
-You're right, you know. You are an asshole. -Told you. | 0:47:40 | 0:47:44 | |
THUNDER RUMBLES | 0:47:44 | 0:47:47 | |
MUSIC: "I'll Love You For A While" by Dusty Springfield | 0:47:48 | 0:47:52 | |
'n the years after I left Aunt Trish, | 0:47:52 | 0:47:53 | |
''All I can remember is fixes I got myself into.' | 0:47:53 | 0:47:57 | |
# I will love you for a while | 0:47:57 | 0:47:59 | |
# Just how long I cannot say... # | 0:47:59 | 0:48:03 | |
'It was a freefall.' | 0:48:03 | 0:48:06 | |
# I'll be on my way | 0:48:06 | 0:48:08 | |
# While there's fire in your eyes... # | 0:48:10 | 0:48:13 | |
'Truth is, I took every pill I could get my hands on. | 0:48:13 | 0:48:16 | |
'It's no wonder I can't remember any of it. | 0:48:16 | 0:48:19 | |
'One day, I found out my mother had died. | 0:48:19 | 0:48:23 | |
'I tried to remain as numb as possible. | 0:48:23 | 0:48:26 | |
'That was my boyfriend Jed. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
'Oh, no, it was Craig. Craig was my boyfriend.' | 0:48:33 | 0:48:37 | |
-I can't believe you sold a painting to Gigi Lee. -Who is she anyway? | 0:48:37 | 0:48:41 | |
She is an heiress, collector, party girl. She knows everybody. | 0:48:41 | 0:48:46 | |
-She knows Andy. -Hey! | 0:48:46 | 0:48:49 | |
-Hi, everybody! -Hi. | 0:48:49 | 0:48:51 | |
This is Sam Shapiro, the novelist... | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
That material belongs with the childhood. | 0:48:58 | 0:49:00 | |
I know, but I'm moving back and forth in time. It's...liquid. | 0:49:00 | 0:49:04 | |
But let the sequences accumulate. They're too staccato. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:07 | |
I want that staccato feeling. | 0:49:07 | 0:49:08 | |
Hello. | 0:49:08 | 0:49:11 | |
Hi, are you with our party? | 0:49:11 | 0:49:13 | |
Yeah, I'm with Craig. You bought a painting from him. | 0:49:13 | 0:49:16 | |
Oh, yeah. This is Max, I'm Herb. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:17 | |
-And you are? -Pippa Sarkissian. -What kind of a name is that? | 0:49:17 | 0:49:22 | |
-English and Armenian. -Ah. | 0:49:22 | 0:49:24 | |
Well, welcome. | 0:49:26 | 0:49:28 | |
You don't have a bathing suit? Go naked! | 0:49:31 | 0:49:34 | |
Nobody's here! Come on! | 0:49:34 | 0:49:37 | |
Come on! | 0:49:37 | 0:49:38 | |
PEOPLE CHATTERING | 0:49:45 | 0:49:47 | |
I'm so happy to see you. I want to organise a show in Paris for you. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:11 | |
Have you been in Paris before? | 0:50:11 | 0:50:12 | |
It's fantastic. | 0:50:13 | 0:50:15 | |
What's going on? | 0:50:27 | 0:50:28 | |
Pippa. Pippa Sarkissian. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:43 | |
Come here. Come. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:45 | |
Sit. Talk to us. | 0:50:47 | 0:50:49 | |
So, Pippa, what does a free spirit like you have for breakfast usually? | 0:50:51 | 0:50:56 | |
-Does she look like she eats breakfast? -Do you? | 0:50:56 | 0:51:00 | |
No. | 0:51:01 | 0:51:02 | |
That's your first mistake of the day. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:04 | |
-So in the morning, you get up, go to the studio? -I don't have a studio. | 0:51:04 | 0:51:08 | |
You gotta be an artist dressed like that. Come on. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:11 | |
-Well, what do you do? -I work in a clothing store. -You have no ambition? | 0:51:11 | 0:51:16 | |
No-one has ever walked through that front door before without having some kind of ambition! | 0:51:18 | 0:51:23 | |
The butler is writing a short story. He told me so himself yesterday. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:27 | |
-I'm going to get a drink. You want a drink, Pippa? -Uh-uh. | 0:51:27 | 0:51:30 | |
-Get me another one of these. -I will. I'll be back. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:33 | |
This is the most amazing house I've ever seen. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:40 | |
It's not a house, it's a mausoleum. | 0:51:40 | 0:51:42 | |
There isn't one comfortable piece of furniture in the whole place | 0:51:42 | 0:51:46 | |
except this couch. It's like living in an aquarium. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:49 | |
Then why do you live here? | 0:51:49 | 0:51:50 | |
My wife. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:52 | |
I could never afford a place like this, although I'm not poor. | 0:51:52 | 0:51:55 | |
So, Pippa, | 0:51:56 | 0:51:58 | |
when are you going to start doing something about your life? | 0:51:58 | 0:52:01 | |
What do you mean? | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
Doesn't it get dispiriting being so aimless? | 0:52:03 | 0:52:06 | |
I mean, "the times, they are a-changing" notwithstanding. | 0:52:06 | 0:52:09 | |
What? | 0:52:11 | 0:52:14 | |
You have such a sweetness about you. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
No, I'm not sweet. | 0:52:20 | 0:52:22 | |
Well, you can be experienced and have a sweetness about you. | 0:52:23 | 0:52:27 | |
It's an innate thing with you, it seems. | 0:52:27 | 0:52:30 | |
I haven't seen that quality in a person in a long time. | 0:52:33 | 0:52:36 | |
We're all going swimming! | 0:52:38 | 0:52:39 | |
Oh, God. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:45 | |
'I didn't realise it yet, but I had set my sights on Herb, and once that happened, watch out.' | 0:52:45 | 0:52:49 | |
She's making me nostalgic for his first wife | 0:52:49 | 0:52:53 | |
and, trust me, that's saying something. | 0:52:53 | 0:52:55 | |
-You're interesting, Pippa. I've been observing you. -You have? | 0:52:57 | 0:53:03 | |
You're like an ingenue femme fatale. | 0:53:03 | 0:53:05 | |
OK, and what are you like? | 0:53:07 | 0:53:09 | |
Writers are vampires. I'm waiting for the right girl to come along and make me a human being. | 0:53:09 | 0:53:14 | |
You realise that if I leaned in right now and kissed you, I'd be the third guy tonight? | 0:53:16 | 0:53:21 | |
Am I right? | 0:53:21 | 0:53:23 | |
Yeah, you would. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:26 | |
Come on! | 0:53:46 | 0:53:47 | |
-There you go. Thanks. -See you next week. -Next? | 0:53:47 | 0:53:52 | |
Fish tonight? | 0:53:55 | 0:53:58 | |
Oh! Well, he, um, comes all the way from Maine every Thursday. | 0:53:58 | 0:54:03 | |
-You feel guilty about the fish man? -A little. | 0:54:05 | 0:54:08 | |
-I'm sorry about the other day. -Oh, that's all right. | 0:54:10 | 0:54:14 | |
-How are you doing? -Oh, fine. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:19 | |
I-I actually went to see someone about the sleepwalking, | 0:54:20 | 0:54:24 | |
and he basically thinks I'm off my nut. | 0:54:24 | 0:54:26 | |
Um, see, it's a psychiatrist. | 0:54:28 | 0:54:31 | |
That's because he thinks I'm going to need medication, and a locksmith. | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
See, he suggested that we bolt the bedroom door from the inside | 0:54:34 | 0:54:38 | |
and Herb hide the key, and, um... | 0:54:38 | 0:54:40 | |
Oh, I'm supposed to take up a hobby. I'm thinking bowling. | 0:54:40 | 0:54:44 | |
Would you like to go for a drive? | 0:54:46 | 0:54:48 | |
Sure. | 0:54:48 | 0:54:49 | |
After you get your fish. | 0:54:49 | 0:54:51 | |
I'll make pasta. | 0:54:53 | 0:54:55 | |
Where do you want to go? | 0:54:56 | 0:54:58 | |
I don't know. Um... | 0:55:01 | 0:55:03 | |
I could show you where I grew up. | 0:55:03 | 0:55:05 | |
OK. | 0:55:07 | 0:55:09 | |
How do I get there? | 0:55:10 | 0:55:12 | |
Oh, it's straight for a couple of miles and then we'll make a turn. | 0:55:12 | 0:55:17 | |
I'll tell you. It's close. | 0:55:17 | 0:55:19 | |
There it is. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:22 | |
-Seems so small. -Is your family still here? | 0:55:30 | 0:55:32 | |
No. | 0:55:35 | 0:55:37 | |
That's my daughter Grace. She hates me. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:45 | |
I wonder... | 0:55:48 | 0:55:49 | |
What? | 0:55:49 | 0:55:51 | |
..if I got it all wrong with her. | 0:55:51 | 0:55:54 | |
I just didn't want to suffocate her the way my... | 0:55:56 | 0:55:58 | |
I think it happens like that in families sometimes, though, where... | 0:56:01 | 0:56:05 | |
you just keep swinging back and forth from generation to generation, | 0:56:05 | 0:56:10 | |
getting it wrong, the opposite way. | 0:56:10 | 0:56:12 | |
It was so simple with Ben. | 0:56:16 | 0:56:18 | |
But you know, she, um... is a photographic journalist. | 0:56:21 | 0:56:24 | |
Travels all over the world, wherever it's exploding, takes photographs. | 0:56:26 | 0:56:30 | |
-Wow. -Yeah, I know. We must've done something right. | 0:56:30 | 0:56:34 | |
It sounds like your daughter's like you. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:38 | |
Why? | 0:56:40 | 0:56:42 | |
You said you were always in a drama. | 0:56:42 | 0:56:44 | |
Well, I was reckless with my life, that's true. | 0:56:47 | 0:56:50 | |
I never saw her again. | 0:56:59 | 0:57:01 | |
-Who? -My mother. | 0:57:04 | 0:57:07 | |
After I ran away, she died. She had a heart attack. | 0:57:07 | 0:57:10 | |
Oh, I can't wait to see! | 0:57:13 | 0:57:15 | |
'If I could have anything, I would ask for one more afternoon with my mother.' | 0:57:18 | 0:57:22 | |
Look at her eyes. | 0:57:22 | 0:57:24 | |
'I would be kind.' | 0:57:24 | 0:57:26 | |
Beautiful. | 0:57:26 | 0:57:28 | |
I've been going to Dot's pottery class. | 0:57:36 | 0:57:38 | |
-Oh, good. -Why do you think it's good? | 0:57:38 | 0:57:42 | |
Your doctor said he thought you could use a hobby. | 0:57:42 | 0:57:45 | |
Tell me what you like about me. | 0:57:52 | 0:57:54 | |
-Right now? -Yeah. | 0:57:54 | 0:57:56 | |
Well, you put up with me, for one thing. | 0:57:58 | 0:58:00 | |
-That's it? -Of course not. | 0:58:00 | 0:58:03 | |
Herb, what happened to us? We used to laugh so much. | 0:58:05 | 0:58:10 | |
What happened? | 0:58:10 | 0:58:11 | |
Can't laugh all the time. | 0:58:11 | 0:58:14 | |
-Well, we have to laugh. -Or what? | 0:58:14 | 0:58:15 | |
Or she died for nothing! | 0:58:15 | 0:58:17 | |
-Not that again, OK? -Why am I not allowed to mention her? | 0:58:17 | 0:58:20 | |
I will not let this marriage turn into a guilt fest. | 0:58:20 | 0:58:23 | |
We have been through this a hundred times. She was crazy. | 0:58:23 | 0:58:26 | |
You get involved with somebody like that, it's like putting your hand in a blender. | 0:58:26 | 0:58:31 | |
I just can't take it, I can't take it. I keep seeing her, Herb. | 0:58:31 | 0:58:34 | |
I keep seeing her. I keep... | 0:58:34 | 0:58:36 | |
I keep seeing the past. The past just keeps caving in. | 0:58:38 | 0:58:41 | |
I can't take it any more. I can't take it. I'm sorry. | 0:58:43 | 0:58:46 | |
Maybe you should be taking antidepressants. | 0:58:49 | 0:58:53 | |
What?! | 0:58:58 | 0:59:00 | |
-You all right? You wanna talk? -My mother used to do this. | 0:59:07 | 0:59:11 | |
She'd suddenly disappear, and I'd find her on the bed | 0:59:11 | 0:59:14 | |
in front of the TV with a plate of toast on her belly. | 0:59:14 | 0:59:17 | |
-That's how she died. -Yes, I know. | 0:59:17 | 0:59:19 | |
-I have to take your blood pressure. -No, you don't. | 0:59:21 | 0:59:24 | |
'I slept for a week after the party at Herb's beach house. | 0:59:39 | 0:59:43 | |
'Maybe I was trying to avoid my next boyfriend. | 0:59:46 | 0:59:50 | |
'When I woke up, I felt an overwhelming need to hear Herb's voice. | 0:59:51 | 0:59:56 | |
'I missed him so much. It was strange.' | 0:59:56 | 0:59:59 | |
'Hello?' | 1:00:38 | 1:00:39 | |
Mr Lee? Hi, it's Pippa Sarkissian. | 1:00:39 | 1:00:42 | |
'Pippa!' | 1:00:42 | 1:00:44 | |
Hey. I-I was wondering, do you want to go out to breakfast? | 1:00:44 | 1:00:48 | |
'It's three o'clock in the afternoon.' | 1:00:49 | 1:00:52 | |
I meant tomorrow. | 1:00:52 | 1:00:55 | |
'He treated me like a pal at first. He was avuncular. | 1:00:57 | 1:01:00 | |
'He teased me about being a waster. I called him an old fart. | 1:01:00 | 1:01:05 | |
'We would get together every couple of days | 1:01:05 | 1:01:08 | |
'and take a walk or eat something. | 1:01:08 | 1:01:10 | |
'He gave me reading lists. He wanted to educate me.' | 1:01:10 | 1:01:13 | |
-Hey. Sorry I'm late. -You're always late. | 1:01:15 | 1:01:18 | |
Well, maybe you're always early. | 1:01:18 | 1:01:20 | |
I bought something for you. You only have to wear this once. | 1:01:22 | 1:01:25 | |
I'll be alone at the beach house this weekend, | 1:01:25 | 1:01:29 | |
and I want you to come for lunch. | 1:01:29 | 1:01:31 | |
-You weren't supposed to buy this! -I needed to. | 1:01:31 | 1:01:35 | |
'I loved being with Herb. He made me feel protected.' | 1:01:35 | 1:01:38 | |
I thought I was a writer. | 1:01:38 | 1:01:41 | |
I thought it was my calling, but it just wasn't. | 1:01:41 | 1:01:45 | |
I, er... | 1:01:45 | 1:01:47 | |
I-I couldn't...flow. | 1:01:47 | 1:01:49 | |
I have a very critical nature, and it kept me from being able to flow. | 1:01:49 | 1:01:53 | |
Then I...was slightly lost for a while, | 1:01:53 | 1:01:56 | |
I had no idea what I was going to do. | 1:01:56 | 1:01:58 | |
I had a friend in the publishing business, | 1:01:58 | 1:02:01 | |
and he offered me a job, and here I am. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:05 | |
Tell me what you like about me. | 1:02:10 | 1:02:12 | |
You're not a show-off about it, but I think you're very intelligent. | 1:02:14 | 1:02:18 | |
And...you're beautiful, but you're cool about it, | 1:02:19 | 1:02:23 | |
and there's a sadness about you. | 1:02:23 | 1:02:26 | |
And I like that... | 1:02:26 | 1:02:29 | |
in moderation. | 1:02:29 | 1:02:31 | |
I like your jacket. | 1:02:33 | 1:02:34 | |
And that's it? | 1:02:34 | 1:02:36 | |
No. | 1:02:38 | 1:02:39 | |
No, I... | 1:02:39 | 1:02:41 | |
I like your face, and your voice... | 1:02:44 | 1:02:47 | |
..and, um... | 1:02:49 | 1:02:51 | |
This is going to sound strange. | 1:02:51 | 1:02:53 | |
Say it. | 1:02:53 | 1:02:55 | |
It's like, um... | 1:02:56 | 1:02:58 | |
..like I can feel what you're feeling. | 1:03:00 | 1:03:03 | |
You know, if you feel nervous or happy or sad, I can feel it. | 1:03:03 | 1:03:08 | |
I-In my body, in my fingers. | 1:03:08 | 1:03:10 | |
What a remarkable thing. | 1:03:12 | 1:03:15 | |
Oh. | 1:03:15 | 1:03:17 | |
I'd like you not to feel as if you have to censor yourself around me. | 1:03:17 | 1:03:21 | |
Tell me the most important thing about yourself. | 1:03:21 | 1:03:24 | |
I'm a fuck-up. | 1:03:27 | 1:03:29 | |
'I felt like I was being rescued from a burning wreck.' | 1:03:37 | 1:03:40 | |
If I'm good for anything in the world, | 1:03:40 | 1:03:43 | |
it's for letting you know how wonderful you are. | 1:03:43 | 1:03:46 | |
You're my true wife, you know? | 1:03:49 | 1:03:51 | |
No, you don't want me. I only make people sad. | 1:03:53 | 1:03:57 | |
I don't believe that. | 1:03:57 | 1:04:00 | |
Anyway, you have a wife. | 1:04:03 | 1:04:05 | |
If I have to live with that lunatic for another week, I'll hang myself. | 1:04:07 | 1:04:10 | |
For years, I've been hoping she'd have an affair | 1:04:10 | 1:04:14 | |
so I can walk out on her, but she won't do it, the bitch. | 1:04:14 | 1:04:17 | |
MACHINE WHIRRS | 1:04:20 | 1:04:22 | |
Mrs Lee still seems unwilling to work her way up like the rest of us. | 1:04:30 | 1:04:35 | |
(Go stick it up your ass.) | 1:04:37 | 1:04:40 | |
What did you say to me? | 1:04:40 | 1:04:42 | |
I don't understand. She agrees to divorce you if we have lunch with her? | 1:04:50 | 1:04:54 | |
She wants to make the switch in some kind of elegant way. | 1:04:54 | 1:04:57 | |
I can't believe you agreed to do this! | 1:04:57 | 1:04:59 | |
I owe her this much! Come on, let's go. | 1:04:59 | 1:05:01 | |
-Hello, Mr Lee. Nice to see you! Hello, miss. -Hello, Alphonsa. | 1:05:01 | 1:05:05 | |
-Welcome. -Hi, hi. Hello, hello, hello. | 1:05:05 | 1:05:10 | |
-Hi. -Sam! What a pleasant surprise. | 1:05:13 | 1:05:16 | |
I'll tell Joseph to bring in the champagne. | 1:05:16 | 1:05:19 | |
-Perfect symmetry. -What? | 1:05:19 | 1:05:21 | |
Come on. | 1:05:21 | 1:05:23 | |
She invited me for lunch. | 1:05:25 | 1:05:27 | |
Stop! | 1:05:29 | 1:05:31 | |
Cheers. | 1:05:31 | 1:05:33 | |
Oh. You're such a baby. | 1:05:37 | 1:05:39 | |
Thanks. | 1:05:39 | 1:05:42 | |
'Let's face it, I wanted Gigi's life at that moment. | 1:05:42 | 1:05:45 | |
'It wasn't the money, exactly. The money made everything seem all right. | 1:05:45 | 1:05:49 | |
'It was the opposite of chaos, the opposite of everything | 1:05:49 | 1:05:52 | |
'I had known up until then. I wanted to be sheltered at last.' | 1:05:52 | 1:05:56 | |
Madam. | 1:05:59 | 1:06:01 | |
-Lunch is served. -Oh, my. | 1:06:01 | 1:06:03 | |
Pippa? ..Herb. | 1:06:06 | 1:06:09 | |
This lunch is in honour of telling it like it is. | 1:06:12 | 1:06:15 | |
You know how we all eat chops and hamburgers, | 1:06:15 | 1:06:19 | |
and we don't think of the faces of who gets killed? | 1:06:19 | 1:06:22 | |
Anybody here a vegetarian? | 1:06:23 | 1:06:25 | |
Here's the truth as I see it. | 1:06:25 | 1:06:27 | |
A pig for a cow. | 1:06:27 | 1:06:28 | |
A fair exchange. | 1:06:28 | 1:06:31 | |
And who's who? | 1:06:31 | 1:06:33 | |
-Sorry. -OK, let's have lunch. Who wants pig? | 1:06:33 | 1:06:36 | |
First, a toast. | 1:06:36 | 1:06:37 | |
To transformation. | 1:06:39 | 1:06:41 | |
Put the gun down. | 1:06:54 | 1:06:56 | |
Put it down. | 1:06:57 | 1:06:59 | |
Put it down, Gigi. | 1:07:01 | 1:07:04 | |
Isn't it funny how men always marry women | 1:07:04 | 1:07:07 | |
who are easier and easier to dominate, until they end up with an imbecile? | 1:07:07 | 1:07:12 | |
Put the gun down. | 1:07:12 | 1:07:14 | |
Put it down. | 1:07:16 | 1:07:19 | |

'I would give myself to him, like a penitent. | 1:07:56 | 1:07:59 | |

I got thrown out of pottery class. I got thrown out of pottery class! | 1:08:39 | 1:08:44 | |
-Who is it? -It's me. | 1:08:51 | 1:08:53 | |
I'll be right there. | 1:08:54 | 1:08:55 | |
Everything OK? | 1:08:58 | 1:08:59 | |
-I got thrown out of pottery class. -Why? | 1:08:59 | 1:09:03 | |

She's a witch. She's... | 1:09:08 | 1:09:11 | |
Why is this towel here, sweetheart? | 1:09:12 | 1:09:14 | |
Were you eating, and you didn't want to mess up the couch? | 1:09:14 | 1:09:17 | |

WHIMPERING | 1:09:43 | 1:09:46 | |
When did this start? | 1:09:52 | 1:09:54 | |
Some time after we moved here. | 1:09:54 | 1:09:56 | |
I was hoping it was an affair, but... | 1:09:59 | 1:10:03 | |
it just isn't. | 1:10:03 | 1:10:05 | |
I-I know this has got to be... dreadful for you. | 1:10:05 | 1:10:09 | |
I...I want you to have all the money. You deserve everything. | 1:10:11 | 1:10:15 | |
Thanks. Um, well, are you going to marry her? | 1:10:16 | 1:10:20 | |
Well, at my age, it would be pretty ridiculous, wouldn't it? | 1:10:20 | 1:10:24 | |
I just wanna live. | 1:10:26 | 1:10:28 | |
The past few years, I can feel you starting to bury me, Pippa. | 1:10:28 | 1:10:32 | |
I can feel the earth in my mouth, almost as if you're looking forward to it. | 1:10:32 | 1:10:35 | |
How can you say that? | 1:10:35 | 1:10:37 | |
I can feel you starting to pity me, being afraid of me. | 1:10:37 | 1:10:40 | |
You're already in mourning. Don't deny it. | 1:10:40 | 1:10:43 | |
I mean, of course, I-I am afraid of you getting old and dying. | 1:10:45 | 1:10:48 | |
It's normal to be afraid. | 1:10:48 | 1:10:49 | |
Well, I don't want to be normal and I don't want to be mourned. | 1:10:49 | 1:10:52 | |
I'm not a ghost! I want to live! | 1:10:52 | 1:10:54 | |
Nobody knows when the hell they're going to die. | 1:10:54 | 1:10:57 | |
You could die tomorrow! Fuck you for making me feel like an old man! | 1:10:57 | 1:11:00 | |
But, Herb, you are an old man. | 1:11:00 | 1:11:02 | |

So... | 1:12:58 | 1:13:00 | |
It's official. Nobody needs me any more. | 1:13:02 | 1:13:05 | |
KNOCK AT DOOR | 1:13:25 | 1:13:27 | |
Hi, Ma. | 1:13:31 | 1:13:33 | |
Dot! | 1:13:33 | 1:13:35 | |
Wait. | 1:13:35 | 1:13:37 | |
Dot! No, no, no. Please, I didn't mean to upset you. I really didn't. | 1:13:37 | 1:13:42 | |
-That man is 35 years old... -But we haven't done anything. | 1:13:42 | 1:13:46 | |
..and you are whatever you are. | 1:13:46 | 1:13:48 | |
It's none...it's none of my beeswax. | 1:13:48 | 1:13:50 | |
It is just disappointing... | 1:13:50 | 1:13:52 | |
..when someone turns out not to be the person you thought they were. | 1:13:54 | 1:13:58 | |
I lost control. | 1:14:05 | 1:14:07 | |
I...I care about you tremendously. | 1:14:11 | 1:14:14 | |
Why don't I feel anything? | 1:14:15 | 1:14:17 | |
It can't be that I don't love you now. I adored you only this morning. | 1:14:19 | 1:14:23 | |
You're in shock. | 1:14:23 | 1:14:25 | |
It's all so tired. | 1:14:25 | 1:14:28 | |
What is? | 1:14:28 | 1:14:29 | |
This whole situation. Let's just fast-forward to the divorce. | 1:14:29 | 1:14:33 | |
Aagh! | 1:14:55 | 1:14:57 | |
Where are they? | 1:15:01 | 1:15:03 | |
MONITOR BEEPS | 1:15:06 | 1:15:08 | |
Where were you going, Mom? | 1:15:14 | 1:15:16 | |
Ben, I really don't see that that's important. | 1:15:17 | 1:15:20 | |
I just wanna get everything straight. | 1:15:20 | 1:15:23 | |
DOOR OPENS | 1:15:23 | 1:15:25 | |
I had chest pains. | 1:15:29 | 1:15:31 | |
I feel like the gods are punishing me. | 1:15:35 | 1:15:37 | |
Oh, please stop being such an egomaniac and drink your tea. | 1:15:37 | 1:15:40 | |
Forgive me, Pippa! | 1:15:40 | 1:15:43 | |
Forgive her for what? | 1:15:44 | 1:15:46 | |
Oh... I-I can't... | 1:15:46 | 1:15:48 | |
Ben, your father and Sandra were... They...they're in love. | 1:15:49 | 1:15:53 | |
-Oh, Pippa! -That's why I was leaving. | 1:15:53 | 1:15:56 | |
What? | 1:15:56 | 1:15:57 | |
I'll jump out the window. I'm so stupid! I'm stupid! | 1:15:57 | 1:16:01 | |
I'm so selfish! | 1:16:01 | 1:16:03 | |
I'll jump out the window if you don't forgive me. I'm so stupid! | 1:16:03 | 1:16:08 | |
I forgive you. Get up. Get up, please. OK. | 1:16:08 | 1:16:10 | |
You do not forgive her. | 1:16:12 | 1:16:14 | |
You're right, I don't. | 1:16:14 | 1:16:16 | |
How could Dad do that to you? | 1:16:16 | 1:16:18 | |
Sweetheart, he...was afraid of dying. | 1:16:18 | 1:16:21 | |
He fell in love. | 1:16:21 | 1:16:23 | |
And I wasn't altogether there either, as of late, so I don't know. | 1:16:25 | 1:16:30 | |
Do you even care? | 1:16:30 | 1:16:32 | |
How can I compete with that? | 1:16:34 | 1:16:37 | |
Hi. Where is he?! | 1:16:41 | 1:16:43 | |
-Oh, sweetheart. -Mrs Lee? You have a phone call. | 1:16:43 | 1:16:46 | |
OK, Ben, will you take her in? I'll be right back. | 1:16:46 | 1:16:50 | |
Hello? | 1:16:50 | 1:16:52 | |
-SAM: -I just want to say, in all the world, | 1:16:52 | 1:16:54 | |
you are the one person to whom none of this should be happening. | 1:16:54 | 1:16:58 | |
Thank you, Sam. | 1:16:58 | 1:16:59 | |
And I also want to say... that I love you. | 1:16:59 | 1:17:02 | |
-Me too. -I mean, really. | 1:17:02 | 1:17:05 | |
Oh. | 1:17:05 | 1:17:06 | |
-Call you later. -OK. -Bye. | 1:17:09 | 1:17:12 | |
-Sam? -Yeah? | 1:17:12 | 1:17:13 | |
I don't want to make butterflied lamb any more. | 1:17:15 | 1:17:18 | |
-Oh. -Do you see what I'm saying? | 1:17:22 | 1:17:24 | |
-Why did Ben get to stay? -I don't know. | 1:17:29 | 1:17:32 | |
-He seemed to want it the most. -Really? How do you measure that? | 1:17:32 | 1:17:35 | |
Do you have some sort of love-o-meter? | 1:17:35 | 1:17:38 | |
-Why don't we go home for a few hours? -Has someone been smoking in here? | 1:17:38 | 1:17:43 | |
I don't know. | 1:17:44 | 1:17:46 | |
Yuck. | 1:17:46 | 1:17:47 | |
-Was it Daddy? -What? | 1:17:50 | 1:17:53 | |
-If Daddy's been smoking, then... -No. No. | 1:17:53 | 1:17:56 | |
So his brain is just dead? It's just completely dead? | 1:17:59 | 1:18:03 | |
He'll never say anything ever again? Not one thing? | 1:18:03 | 1:18:07 | |
That's what the doctors are telling us, sweetheart. | 1:18:10 | 1:18:13 | |
You didn't even ask for a second opinion. | 1:18:13 | 1:18:16 | |
STARTS ENGINE | 1:18:19 | 1:18:21 | |
-Gracie, I know, sweetie... -Goodnight. | 1:18:27 | 1:18:30 | |
Why did you bother to lie? | 1:18:42 | 1:18:43 | |
Oh, my God, you are smoking. | 1:18:50 | 1:18:53 | |
I'm quitting soon. | 1:18:53 | 1:18:54 | |
But I have never seen you smoke in my whole life. | 1:19:05 | 1:19:08 | |
I know. | 1:19:08 | 1:19:09 | |
SOBBING | 1:19:23 | 1:19:25 | |
I'm so sorry this had to happen to you. | 1:19:25 | 1:19:29 | |
I'm not crying because of Daddy. | 1:19:29 | 1:19:31 | |
I'm crying because... | 1:19:34 | 1:19:36 | |
I'm so mean to you! | 1:19:36 | 1:19:39 | |
All the time, and I hate it! | 1:19:39 | 1:19:42 | |
Aw. | 1:19:42 | 1:19:44 | |
And I don't want to be! I really, really, really don't! | 1:19:44 | 1:19:48 | |
Oh, sweetheart, it's not your fault. | 1:19:53 | 1:19:56 | |
-There's so many things you don't know about me. -No, not yet. | 1:19:56 | 1:20:00 | |
I want to be your friend... | 1:20:07 | 1:20:10 | |
because... | 1:20:10 | 1:20:11 | |
because...we still have time. | 1:20:11 | 1:20:16 | |
I'd be honoured to be your friend. | 1:20:18 | 1:20:20 | |
No, not honoured. | 1:20:20 | 1:20:22 | |
Just happy. | 1:20:22 | 1:20:23 | |
OK, happy. | 1:20:25 | 1:20:28 | |
Oh, Mom. | 1:20:28 | 1:20:29 | |
CAR APPROACHES | 1:20:43 | 1:20:46 | |
I saw your light on. I wanted to see if you needed anything. | 1:20:54 | 1:20:58 | |
My mom told me what happened. | 1:20:58 | 1:21:00 | |
Oh, my son is at the hospital, | 1:21:00 | 1:21:03 | |
and I'm supposed to be resting, but I can't. | 1:21:03 | 1:21:06 | |
I could drive you around a little bit. Do they have your cell? | 1:21:07 | 1:21:12 | |
-Don't you have work? -I'm off till five. | 1:21:14 | 1:21:17 | |
I could write Grace a note. | 1:21:18 | 1:21:20 | |
OK. | 1:21:24 | 1:21:26 | |
I'm leaving soon. | 1:21:38 | 1:21:40 | |
And where will you go? | 1:21:42 | 1:21:44 | |
Back out west, I guess. | 1:21:44 | 1:21:46 | |
What do you pray for when you pray? | 1:21:54 | 1:21:56 | |
For my kids to be happy, I guess. | 1:21:57 | 1:22:00 | |
And to be good. | 1:22:01 | 1:22:03 | |
It sounds so childish, saying it out loud. | 1:22:04 | 1:22:07 | |
Do you want to pray for your husband? | 1:22:08 | 1:22:11 | |
It's hopeless. | 1:22:13 | 1:22:15 | |
His brain is dead. | 1:22:15 | 1:22:17 | |
Not for his brain. | 1:22:18 | 1:22:21 | |
For his soul. | 1:22:21 | 1:22:22 | |
-I don't know how to do that. -Me neither. | 1:22:22 | 1:22:26 | |
Let's try. | 1:22:26 | 1:22:28 | |
Sorry. | 1:24:34 | 1:24:36 | |
OK, Herb. | 1:25:18 | 1:25:20 | |
I'm going to let you go. | 1:25:21 | 1:25:24 | |
I'm sure you're pissed as it is that I've left you like this so long, | 1:25:29 | 1:25:32 | |
but we wanted to wait for Grace. | 1:25:32 | 1:25:35 | |
I love you anyway, you know? | 1:25:48 | 1:25:50 | |
I'll always love you, you bastard. | 1:25:57 | 1:26:00 | |
Are you ready now? | 1:26:02 | 1:26:03 | |
OK, it's time to turn the corner. | 1:27:02 | 1:27:05 | |
I'm going to stay with Ben and his girlfriend in town. | 1:27:05 | 1:27:07 | |
I'm going to find a place near them, | 1:27:07 | 1:27:10 | |
and I'm going to wait to become a grandmother. | 1:27:10 | 1:27:13 | |

I'm awake. | 1:28:12 | 1:28:13 | |
Hi, Momma. | 1:28:21 | 1:28:23 | |
I'm going on a trip. | 1:28:24 | 1:28:26 | |
-A trip? -Yes. | 1:28:26 | 1:28:28 | |
And I was wondering if you could call these movers, right here, | 1:28:28 | 1:28:31 | |
and take whatever you want, | 1:28:31 | 1:28:34 | |
and then tell them to give the rest to Goodwill, that would be great. | 1:28:34 | 1:28:39 | |
-What about the memorial service? -Memorial service. | 1:28:39 | 1:28:41 | |
Call everybody on here, except for Sandra, | 1:28:41 | 1:28:43 | |
and just call me on my cell and give me the date. | 1:28:43 | 1:28:47 | |
And you know what? What the hell. Invite Sandra. | 1:28:47 | 1:28:48 | |
Mom, are you actually leaving? | 1:28:48 | 1:28:51 | |
-I'll be back. -When? | 1:28:51 | 1:28:53 | |
Sweetheart, your father was in love | 1:28:53 | 1:28:55 | |
with a woman I cooked for two days a week over the past four years. | 1:28:55 | 1:28:59 | |
I am not going to organise his memorial service. | 1:28:59 | 1:29:02 | |
Who is that guy? | 1:29:05 | 1:29:07 | |
He's my friend. | 1:29:07 | 1:29:09 | |
A friend? What's going on? | 1:29:09 | 1:29:11 | |
Ben, I'm not driving off into the sunset. | 1:29:11 | 1:29:14 | |
I'm just seeing what happens next. | 1:29:14 | 1:29:16 | |
I can't believe this is happening. | 1:29:16 | 1:29:18 | |
She's given us half her life. Don't you think she deserves a vacation? | 1:29:18 | 1:29:22 | |
I love you, I love you, love you. | 1:29:34 | 1:29:37 | |
'I don't know how the rest of my story will go. | 1:29:40 | 1:29:44 | |
'I don't know who I'll be in it. | 1:29:44 | 1:29:46 | |
'All I know is...I feel like this is just the beginning. | 1:29:46 | 1:29:51 | |
