Maybe it's not bad
if I feel that way.

00:01:57,835 --> 00:01:58,461
Of course.

00:02:02,006 --> 00:02:02,924
Marjorie, where are the dishes?

11
00:02:08,137 --> 00:02:11,349
The girl did them, Julie.

She doesn't come until two.

13
00:02:13,476 --> 00:02:14,977

I'm having a good day.

00:02:22,234 --> 00:02:27,365
Marjorie, we both know
what no dishes means.

17
00:02:27,657 --> 00:02:29,450
It means I haven't been eating.

18
00:02:32,453 --> 00:02:33,913
Only a spoonful
of peanut butter.

19
00:02:34,205 --> 00:02:35,665
I'm not hungry.

20
00:02:35,957 --> 00:02:38,960
It's their fault, feeding
me all those pills.

21
00:02:39,251 --> 00:02:40,753
The pills are their
fault or your doctors?

22
00:02:46,592 --> 00:02:47,802
Only a spoonful?

23
00:02:53,849 --> 00:02:57,103
Can I still play the violin?

You liked that the last time.

30
00:03:45,776 --> 00:03:48,529
I'll have to take
your word for it.

31
00:03:48,821 --> 00:03:51,490
I could tell you about
the time we saw a movie.

32
00:03:51,782 --> 00:03:53,367
We went to a lot of movies.

33
00:03:53,659 --> 00:03:57,204
But one time we saw "My
Best Friend's Wedding."

34
00:03:57,496 --> 00:03:59,540
"My Best Friend's Wedding."

35
00:03:59,832 --> 00:04:03,210
There was a woman,
Julia Roberts.

36
00:04:03,502 --> 00:04:06,547
For a while, it was
always Julia Roberts.

37
00:04:06,839 --> 00:04:08,966
And she had an agreement with
her best friend, her male best

38
00:04:09,258 --> 00:04:10,885
friend, that if
they weren't married

39
00:04:11,177 --> 00:04:13,012
by the time they
hit a certain age,

40
00:04:13,304 --> 00:04:15,681
they would marry each other.

41
00:04:15,973 --> 00:04:19,518
And she was about to remind
him of this agreement

42
00:04:19,810 --> 00:04:21,145
when it turns out he
had already fallen

43
00:04:21,437 --> 00:04:25,775
in love with a nice
blonde, Cameron Diaz.

44
00:04:26,067 --> 00:04:28,569
So Julia Roberts
spends the entire movie

45
00:04:28,861 --> 00:04:30,529
trying to ruin things
between her friend

46
00:04:30,821 --> 00:04:34,283
and Cameron Diaz, which isn't
very sympathetic behavior

47
00:04:34,575 --> 00:04:37,953
for America's sweetheart.

48
00:04:38,245 --> 00:04:40,039
But in the end,
it all works out.

And she has a gay best friend
who delivers one liners.

That's OK.

You were trying to tell
me and I wouldn't let you.

What if we saw
"Casablanca" instead.

60
00:05:23,666 --> 00:05:27,837

"Casablanca" in an old movie

and then on the way home

you proposed.

00:05:36,011 --> 00:05:38,639
And then by the next time
we talk it will be true.

There was once a couple,
a very fine, young couple.

88
00:07:03,766 --> 00:07:06,268
And he had a good strong jaw.

89
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,771
He was a little too
pleased with himself.

90
00:07:16,028 --> 00:07:19,198
He had a good strong jaw,
and he was a little too

91
00:07:19,490 --> 00:07:21,951
pleased with himself.

92
00:07:22,243 --> 00:07:25,371
And she was the most
beautiful woman in town.

93
00:07:25,663 --> 00:07:28,707
It wasn't a very big town,
but she was the queen of it.

94
00:07:28,999 --> 00:07:32,294
It sounds like a fairy
tale when you tell it.

95
00:07:32,586 --> 00:07:33,170
It is a fairy tale.

96
00:07:36,006 --> 00:07:37,967
That's not very nice.

97
00:07:38,259 --> 00:07:39,343
- I don't mean that--
- I thought that--

98
00:07:39,635 --> 00:07:40,678
It never happened.

99
00:07:40,970 --> 00:07:42,388
You were supposed
to provide comfort.

100
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,808
I meant that that's the way
it happened, like a fairy tale.

101
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:48,519
It was?

102
00:07:48,811 --> 00:07:50,980
Now this couple was
feeling a bit lonely,

103
00:07:51,272 --> 00:07:54,149
because they didn't
have any children yet.

104
00:07:54,441 --> 00:07:56,527
So one day they decided
it was time to get a dog.

105
00:07:56,819 --> 00:07:59,071
They took the bus down
to the city pound.

106
00:07:59,363 --> 00:08:01,657
And there was a little
black dog there asleep,

107
00:08:01,949 --> 00:08:08,497
its tummy going up and down
like a little sleeping shadow.

108
00:08:08,789 --> 00:08:09,665
And so they named it Toni.

109
00:08:09,957 --> 00:08:10,541
Toni.

110
00:08:10,833 --> 00:08:11,583
Toni with an I.

111
00:08:11,875 --> 00:08:12,459
With an I.

112
00:08:12,751 --> 00:08:14,461
Short for Antoinette.

113
00:08:14,753 --> 00:08:18,674
She had a French name because
she was a French poodle.

114
00:08:18,966 --> 00:08:21,969
But not the fussy kind
that look like hedges.

115
00:08:22,261 --> 00:08:25,389
No, this was a poodle
for fetching sticks

116
00:08:25,681 --> 00:08:26,890
and running on the beach.

117
00:08:27,182 --> 00:08:30,019
So they took her
home on the bus.

118
00:08:30,311 --> 00:08:32,187
She was very well behaved.

119
00:08:32,479 --> 00:08:34,523
And they loved
her, and she loved

120
00:08:34,815 --> 00:08:38,777
them back for a long time.

121
00:08:39,069 --> 00:08:44,325
And then, like everything
else, she died.

122
00:08:50,581 --> 00:08:53,375
Would you like me to keep going?

123
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,003
There's more after she died?

124
00:08:56,295 --> 00:08:57,379
Yes.

125
00:08:57,671 --> 00:09:01,300
Because the couple,
soon after, had a child.

126
00:09:01,592 --> 00:09:03,052
Tess.

127
00:09:03,344 --> 00:09:06,513
Which is a variation on Tessa,
which is Greek for "gatherer."

128
00:09:06,805 --> 00:09:08,599
Oh, don't show off.

129
00:09:08,891 --> 00:09:12,353
So when Tess was three years
old, they went to the pound.

130
00:09:12,644 --> 00:09:13,270
MARJORIE: Oh, yes.

131
00:09:13,562 --> 00:09:14,772
The same pound.

132
00:09:15,064 --> 00:09:17,107
They had an old
Subaru by this point,

133
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:19,193
so they didn't have
to take the bus.

134
00:09:19,485 --> 00:09:22,946
And of course, they let young
Tess pick out the new dog.

135
00:09:23,238 --> 00:09:25,032
There were more dogs there.

136
00:09:25,324 --> 00:09:28,869
A Cocker Spaniel, a
noble gray pointer,

137
00:09:29,161 --> 00:09:30,871
and a very attractive mutt.

138
00:09:31,163 --> 00:09:33,874
But the amazing
thing, was Tess picked

139
00:09:34,166 --> 00:09:36,835
the poodle, the little
black sleeping shadow.

140
00:09:37,127 --> 00:09:38,796
That was the one
she liked the best.

141
00:09:39,088 --> 00:09:42,966
And so we named it Toni Two.

142
00:09:43,258 --> 00:09:44,301
Toni Two.

143
00:09:44,593 --> 00:09:46,804
But that was soon
shortened to just Toni.

144
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,809
And of course, it
wasn't exactly Toni.

145
00:09:52,101 --> 00:09:53,852
But the longer they
had her, the less

146
00:09:54,144 --> 00:09:56,855
it mattered which Toni it
was that ran along the beach,

147
00:09:57,147 --> 00:10:00,442
and which Toni it was the dug
up all the bulbs in the garden.

148
00:10:00,734 --> 00:10:04,696
The more time that passed,
the more she became

149
00:10:04,988 --> 00:10:06,156
the same dog in their memories.

150
00:10:09,660 --> 00:10:12,121
Who told you all that?

151
00:10:12,413 --> 00:10:14,206
You did.

152
00:10:14,498 --> 00:10:16,375
I talk that much?

153
00:10:16,667 --> 00:10:17,709
Well, you and Jon.

154
00:10:20,629 --> 00:10:24,508
You have your good
days when you remember.

155
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,219
Another spoonful?

156
00:10:27,511 --> 00:10:34,560
It was the second Toni
who loved the beach.

157
00:10:34,852 --> 00:10:36,728
Though it's a shame we
didn't have her longer.

158
00:10:39,815 --> 00:10:44,278
Even though she always
had sand in her hair.

159
00:10:44,570 --> 00:10:45,821
Fur?

160
00:10:46,113 --> 00:10:49,408
No, hair like a
human sounds right.

161
00:10:49,700 --> 00:10:50,325
I'll remember that now.

162
00:10:59,835 --> 00:11:03,839
Something's a little
off with the nose.

163
00:11:04,131 --> 00:11:05,174
I'm sorry.

164
00:11:05,466 --> 00:11:08,802
Or maybe it's my
memory and you're right.

165
00:11:13,932 --> 00:11:17,978
Well, you're a good
Walter either way.

166
00:11:18,270 --> 00:11:18,854
Thank you.

167
00:11:32,868 --> 00:11:33,952
Stay with me while?

168
00:11:37,873 --> 00:11:40,292
I don't want to
get you in trouble.

169
00:11:40,584 --> 00:11:43,045
You learn like that.

170
00:11:43,337 --> 00:11:46,423
I told you.

171
00:11:46,715 --> 00:11:49,676
What would you like
to talk about now?

172
00:11:49,968 --> 00:11:52,095
We don't have to
talk, we can just sit.

173
00:11:56,225 --> 00:11:59,436
Sometimes I get so tired.

174
00:12:04,608 --> 00:12:07,736
I'll be right here,
Marjorie, whenever you need.

175
00:12:11,031 --> 00:12:12,074
I have all the
time in the world.

176
00:12:31,385 --> 00:12:32,386
I still don't like it.

177
00:12:32,678 --> 00:12:33,679
What?

178
00:12:33,971 --> 00:12:35,764
The Prime.

179
00:12:36,056 --> 00:12:37,099
Ah.

180
00:12:37,391 --> 00:12:39,434
Well, at this stage--

181
00:12:39,726 --> 00:12:41,812
Who said it?

182
00:12:42,104 --> 00:12:44,773
Companionship is the
most important thing.

183
00:12:45,065 --> 00:12:47,859
You said it.

184
00:12:48,151 --> 00:12:52,155
It's better than
watching television.

185
00:12:52,447 --> 00:12:54,199
As if she's an infant
that needs to be pacified.

186
00:12:56,994 --> 00:12:58,203
She's 85.

187
00:12:58,495 --> 00:12:59,162
She wakes up, she doesn't
know where she is.

188
00:13:01,748 --> 00:13:03,166
And by the way, what's
wrong with being pacified?

189
00:13:31,445 --> 00:13:32,571
She's sleeping.

190
00:13:32,863 --> 00:13:34,531
Those new pills seemed
to knock her out.

191
00:13:34,823 --> 00:13:35,949
Peanut butter.

192
00:13:36,241 --> 00:13:38,118
Oh, small miracles.

193
00:13:38,410 --> 00:13:40,746
She's finally coming
to my campaign.

194
00:13:41,038 --> 00:13:43,498
Or she's listening
to Walter Prime.

195
00:13:43,790 --> 00:13:46,376
They say it's like
a parrot that way.

196
00:13:46,668 --> 00:13:49,379
(IMITATING PARROT) Have a
spoonful, have a spoonful.

197
00:13:49,671 --> 00:13:52,132
Did you know that
parrots live forever?

198
00:13:52,424 --> 00:13:57,846
I have a student who's got her
dad's parent after he died.

199
00:13:58,138 --> 00:14:01,642
And she says even now
20 years later, it

200
00:14:01,933 --> 00:14:03,644
still says things in his voice.

201
00:14:03,935 --> 00:14:05,103
Like what?

202
00:14:05,395 --> 00:14:09,024
Mostly just, hey there, partner.

203
00:14:09,316 --> 00:14:11,193
Words of wisdom.

204
00:14:11,485 --> 00:14:14,404
Well, she says it's
not exactly his voice,

205
00:14:14,696 --> 00:14:16,198
but she can definitely
tell that it's him.

206
00:14:22,329 --> 00:14:23,121
Did you just--

207
00:14:29,753 --> 00:14:34,132
The way she's so accepting of
it, does that creep you out?

208
00:14:34,424 --> 00:14:35,842
It creeps me out.

209
00:14:36,134 --> 00:14:39,513
Does it bother you that your
mother is talking to a computer

210
00:14:39,805 --> 00:14:41,682
program, or that
a computer program

211
00:14:41,973 --> 00:14:42,891
is pretending to be your dad?

212
00:14:43,183 --> 00:14:45,143
It bothers me
that you are helping

213
00:14:45,435 --> 00:14:49,481
it pretend to be some fountain
of youth version of my dad.

214
00:14:49,773 --> 00:14:51,358
It's how she remembers him.

215
00:14:51,650 --> 00:14:53,902
And she accepts it,
because it's clever.

216
00:14:54,194 --> 00:14:57,030
Clever like a mirror,
like a backboard,

217
00:14:57,322 --> 00:14:58,407
No, no it's more than that.

218
00:14:58,699 --> 00:15:00,158
It can look stuff up.

219
00:15:00,450 --> 00:15:01,993
It can talk to other Primes.

220
00:15:02,285 --> 00:15:05,414
It's like a child learning to
talk, only does it so quickly.

221
00:15:05,706 --> 00:15:07,582
That's how we think
we're talking to a human.

222
00:15:07,874 --> 00:15:10,001
The more you talk,
the more it absorbs,

223
00:15:10,293 --> 00:15:12,254
including our imperfections.

224
00:15:12,546 --> 00:15:14,631
It can speak in fragments.

225
00:15:14,923 --> 00:15:15,924
It can use non-sequiturs.

226
00:15:16,216 --> 00:15:19,511
It can you know,
misplace modifiers.

227
00:15:19,803 --> 00:15:20,929
It can--

228
00:15:21,221 --> 00:15:23,348
It can run out of steam
trying to list things.

229
00:15:26,435 --> 00:15:27,477
So you get.

230
00:15:31,690 --> 00:15:33,567
Are you jealous?

231
00:15:33,859 --> 00:15:34,818
No.

232
00:15:35,110 --> 00:15:35,736
You are.

233
00:15:39,364 --> 00:15:42,033
Am I supposed to just not notice

234
00:15:42,325 --> 00:15:44,953
that she's nicer to that
thing than she is to me.

235
00:15:45,245 --> 00:15:48,498
It's your father that
she's being nicer to.

236
00:15:48,790 --> 00:15:50,917
Mom, your up.

237
00:15:51,209 --> 00:15:52,294
Do you want some tea?

238
00:15:52,586 --> 00:15:53,754
I can put on the kettle.

239
00:15:54,045 --> 00:15:55,297
I ate some peanut butter.

240
00:15:55,589 --> 00:15:56,339
Yes, you did.

241
00:15:56,631 --> 00:15:58,258
That's wonderful.

242
00:15:58,550 --> 00:16:00,552
I thought that
would make her happy.

243
00:16:00,844 --> 00:16:03,305
TESS: Yeah, yeah,
I'm very predictable.

244
00:16:03,597 --> 00:16:06,683
Did you sleep well?

245
00:16:06,975 --> 00:16:10,103
I was watching the woman
on TV, the strident one,

246
00:16:10,395 --> 00:16:11,772
and then just out.

247
00:16:14,733 --> 00:16:17,944
That's how it should
happen when it happens.

248
00:16:18,236 --> 00:16:20,530
TESS: Don't be morbid,
[inaudible] of morbid.

249
00:16:20,822 --> 00:16:21,907
Oh, yes.

250
00:16:22,199 --> 00:16:25,452
Let's all pretend
we live forever.

251
00:16:25,744 --> 00:16:28,413
You got your color back.

252
00:16:28,705 --> 00:16:30,749
Thank you, Jon.

253
00:16:31,041 --> 00:16:33,084
It's always nice to be lied to.

254
00:16:36,046 --> 00:16:39,591
I like him more now that
he cut off his beard.

255
00:16:39,883 --> 00:16:42,344
TESS: That was 30 years ago.

256
00:16:42,636 --> 00:16:44,012
It wasn't.

257
00:16:44,304 --> 00:16:46,264
Yeah, it was.

258
00:16:46,556 --> 00:16:51,728
And you stopped worrying about
impressing me, and that helped.

259
00:16:52,020 --> 00:16:55,232
TESS: Hey, could you
check on the [inaudible]

260
00:16:55,524 --> 00:16:57,067
JON: There was plenty on Monday.

261
00:16:57,359 --> 00:17:00,403
TESS: Julie said we ran out
last week and it was not pretty.

262
00:17:06,576 --> 00:17:09,287
There is someone in my mind.

263
00:17:12,290 --> 00:17:17,295
I'm trying to figure
out who it is.

264
00:17:17,587 --> 00:17:21,174
TESS: Raina is
coming this weekend,

265
00:17:21,466 --> 00:17:23,969
your loving granddaughter.

266
00:17:24,261 --> 00:17:27,138
I know who Raina is.

267
00:17:27,430 --> 00:17:28,890
How is she?

268
00:17:29,182 --> 00:17:30,767
TESS: She's got blue hair.

269
00:17:31,059 --> 00:17:33,311
It suits her.

270
00:17:33,603 --> 00:17:39,442
JON: Nine Restoril
and six [inaudible]

271
00:17:39,734 --> 00:17:43,238
I remember waking up on a bridge

272
00:17:43,530 --> 00:17:44,781
with a lot of people around.

273
00:17:48,869 --> 00:17:50,453
TESS: Why were you
sleeping on a bridge?

274
00:17:50,745 --> 00:17:54,499
This is a dream, I take it?

275
00:17:54,791 --> 00:17:56,209
Maybe Walter would remember.

276
00:17:56,501 --> 00:17:57,127
We could ask Walter.

277
00:17:59,921 --> 00:18:04,301
TESS: Mom, dad's been
dead for 15 years.

278
00:18:04,593 --> 00:18:07,804
I mean the other
Walter, Walter Prime?

279
00:18:08,096 --> 00:18:13,310
Ugh, I'm not that far gone.

[music playing]

281

Detached?

282
00:19:06,363 --> 00:19:07,781
Well, yeah.

283
00:19:08,073 --> 00:19:11,952
By the time I came along,
you had kind of removed

284
00:19:12,243 --> 00:19:13,954
yourself from the conversation.

285
00:19:14,245 --> 00:19:16,373
You were outside looking in.

286
00:19:16,665 --> 00:19:20,543
Can you tell me more about
my profession, my work?

287
00:19:20,835 --> 00:19:22,337
Haven't you read up on yourself?

288
00:19:22,629 --> 00:19:26,174
In my obituary, professional
details were sparse.

289
00:19:26,466 --> 00:19:28,969
Can you describe
what I actually did?

290
00:19:29,260 --> 00:19:30,929
Raping and pillaging.

291
00:19:31,221 --> 00:19:32,555
Excuse me?

292
00:19:32,847 --> 00:19:35,684
That was Tess's joke when
I first asked what you did.

293
00:19:35,976 --> 00:19:38,979
You evaluated
financial statements,

294
00:19:39,270 --> 00:19:42,023
corporate investments
for rich people.

295
00:19:42,315 --> 00:19:45,110
And you gave them advice
on how to get richer.

296
00:19:45,402 --> 00:19:47,988
WALTER: Did I like it?

297
00:19:48,279 --> 00:19:50,824
You were good at it.

298
00:19:51,116 --> 00:19:54,327
You realize this is
your house, right?

299
00:19:54,619 --> 00:19:56,788
Tess and I moved
in to help Marjorie

300
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,873
10 years after you died.

301
00:19:59,165 --> 00:20:02,043
But before that, when I
met you, you were a guy

302
00:20:02,335 --> 00:20:04,462
whose mind was somewhere else.

303
00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:13,972
Also, no offense, you didn't
get prettier as you aged.

304
00:20:14,264 --> 00:20:16,558
Who does?

305
00:20:16,850 --> 00:20:20,937
Is it weird that Marjorie
chose you, younger Walter,

306
00:20:21,229 --> 00:20:22,022
to come back into her life?

307
00:20:25,066 --> 00:20:29,112
I don't believe that you talked
to Marjorie about your work,

308
00:20:29,404 --> 00:20:30,238
if that's what you're asking.

309
00:20:33,408 --> 00:20:35,618
What is this music?

310
00:20:35,910 --> 00:20:37,078
I don't remember putting it on.

311
00:20:37,370 --> 00:20:38,705
Poulenc.

312
00:20:38,997 --> 00:20:40,874
Marjorie had asked for
it when we spoke last.

313
00:20:41,166 --> 00:20:43,918
I thought it might provide
a pleasant atmosphere.

314
00:20:44,210 --> 00:20:44,836
Oh.

315
00:20:49,299 --> 00:20:51,968
Julie, we're ready for you here.

316
00:20:52,260 --> 00:20:53,470
Would you prefer no music?

00:20:53,762 --> 00:20:56,931
Yeah maybe, for now.

Um, you can see how
stressed Tess has been.

00:21:03,563 --> 00:21:06,441
Well, you could if
she would talk to you.

321
00:21:06,733 --> 00:21:10,111
We were planning a trip.

322
00:21:10,403 --> 00:21:16,659
But given Marjorie's-- given
Marjorie's condition that might

323
00:21:16,951 --> 00:21:18,411
not be a good idea right now.

324
00:21:18,703 --> 00:21:21,748
And Julie is going
to be living here

TESS: The Salversons.

My parents used to leave

No, no.

389
00:25:40,048 --> 00:25:41,132
I thought you knew
the basic idea

390
00:25:41,424 --> 00:25:43,676
according to William James.

391
00:25:43,968 --> 00:25:46,387
Maybe, once long ago.

392
00:25:46,679 --> 00:25:48,139
William James had
the idea, and it's

393
00:25:48,431 --> 00:25:53,936
been confirmed scientifically,
that memory is not like a well

394
00:25:54,228 --> 00:25:57,065
that you dip into
or a filing cabinet.

395
00:25:57,357 --> 00:26:00,943
When you remember something,
you remember the memory.

396
00:26:01,235 --> 00:26:05,031
You remember the last time you
remembered it, not the source.

397
00:26:05,323 --> 00:26:07,116
So it's always getting
fuzzier, like a photocopy

398
00:26:07,408 --> 00:26:09,410
of a photocopy.

399
00:26:09,702 --> 00:26:13,331
It's never getting
fresher or clearer.

400
00:26:13,623 --> 00:26:15,291
So even a very
strong memory can be

401
00:26:15,583 --> 00:26:22,382
unreliable, because it's always
in the process of dissolving.

402
00:26:22,673 --> 00:26:23,966
All I remember
about William James

403

407
00:26:36,229 --> 00:26:37,688
And she hadn't studied.

408
00:26:37,980 --> 00:26:42,026
So she writes in the
exam book, I'm sorry,

409
00:26:42,318 --> 00:26:46,697
but I do not feel like taking
a philosophy exam today.

410

And she turns in the
book and she walks out.

And he gives her an A.

415

that when you

489
00:33:52,122 --> 00:33:52,998
Yes.

490
00:33:53,290 --> 00:33:54,083
Not the words.

491
00:33:54,375 --> 00:33:55,376
I know.

492
00:33:55,668 --> 00:33:58,045
Somebody else wrote
them years later.

493
00:34:01,048 --> 00:34:04,009
I guess you know everything.

494
00:34:04,301 --> 00:34:06,470
Do you know how to read music?

495
00:34:06,762 --> 00:34:09,306
Walter didn't.

496
00:34:09,598 --> 00:34:10,266
Maybe you could teach me.

497
00:34:15,479 --> 00:34:22,778
How to hold the bow so
that everything sings.

498
00:34:23,070 --> 00:34:24,989
How to hold it without
holding it, very zen.

499
00:34:32,454 --> 00:34:34,582
You're a fine woman, Marjorie.

500
00:34:34,874 --> 00:34:35,499
Am I?

501
00:34:39,003 --> 00:34:43,007
I'm lucky you chose to spend
your life with a lump like me,

502
00:34:43,299 --> 00:34:45,885
especially when you could
have had a tennis pro.

503
00:34:46,176 --> 00:34:48,262
You know about that?

504

to hear some music?

Wonderful, thank you.

00:35:43,567 --> 00:35:45,444
Sounds sensible, doesn't it?

514
00:35:45,736 --> 00:35:46,987
Should make a difference.

515
00:35:50,616 --> 00:35:54,244
If you're up for it, we
can take a drive later.

Oh, maybe the estuary.

The geese are back.

518
00:35:59,124 --> 00:36:01,627
We might run a few
errands too, if you

519
00:36:01,919 --> 00:36:03,963
don't mind sitting in the car.

520
00:36:04,254 --> 00:36:04,880
Is Damian asleep?

521
00:36:08,717 --> 00:36:12,638
No mom, Damian's not here.

522
00:36:12,930 --> 00:36:18,894
One time, your father
and I went to the city

523
00:36:19,186 --> 00:36:21,981
before Christmas.

524
00:36:22,272 --> 00:36:24,692
It was a business
trip and I came along.

525
00:36:24,984 --> 00:36:28,862
We must have left you
with the Salversons.

526
00:36:29,154 --> 00:36:30,656
And we must have
done a lot of things,

527
00:36:30,948 --> 00:36:37,705
but all I remember is
sitting on a park bench,

528
00:36:37,997 --> 00:36:47,798
just sitting and watching
these orange flags in the park.

529
00:36:48,090 --> 00:36:53,679
These orange sorts
of flags everywhere.

530
00:36:53,971 --> 00:36:56,724
Orange flags?

531
00:36:57,016 --> 00:37:01,478
Or more-- what's the color?

532
00:37:01,770 --> 00:37:04,898
Spice, Spanish, expensive.

533
00:37:05,190 --> 00:37:07,192
Saffron.

534
00:37:07,484 --> 00:37:09,111
And it didn't matter
that it was cold,

535
00:37:09,403 --> 00:37:15,993
because it was so pretty just
watching all that saffron

536
00:37:16,285 --> 00:37:22,583
against the blue white
snow, like Buddhist

537
00:37:22,875 --> 00:37:26,920
monks marching into the trees.

538
00:37:27,212 --> 00:37:29,298
I just remember sitting
on one of those benches

539
00:37:29,590 --> 00:37:34,511
with your father, and
not wanting to get up.

540
00:37:38,974 --> 00:37:42,061
Because if we got
up, that would mean

541
00:37:42,352 --> 00:37:44,605
we'd have to start
the rest of our lives.

542
00:37:48,776 --> 00:37:49,485
What's this?

543
00:37:52,613 --> 00:37:53,989
A bible.

544
00:37:54,281 --> 00:37:56,992
Yeah, I can see it's a Bible.

545
00:37:57,284 --> 00:37:59,036
What are you doing with it?

546
00:37:59,328 --> 00:38:01,455
Julie brought it
yesterday, I think.

547
00:38:04,917 --> 00:38:08,295
She just said if
I was interested.

548
00:38:08,587 --> 00:38:11,507
And you told her
you were interested?

549
00:38:11,799 --> 00:38:13,217
I didn't say one
way or the other.

550
00:38:13,509 --> 00:38:15,135
Should we burn it?

551
00:38:15,427 --> 00:38:16,512
Ha, ha.

552
00:38:16,804 --> 00:38:19,556
My whole life she's
told me there is no God,

553
00:38:19,848 --> 00:38:21,809
it's just a fairytale
people tell themselves.

554
00:38:22,101 --> 00:38:24,061
Goodness is its own reward.

555
00:38:24,353 --> 00:38:26,188
And now she's letting herself--

556
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:29,691
I haven't even opened it.

557
00:38:29,983 --> 00:38:32,778
Julie wanted to share
her beliefs with me.

558
00:38:33,070 --> 00:38:34,530
Right.

559
00:38:34,822 --> 00:38:36,406
She said it was a comfort to
her when she lost her father.

560
00:38:36,698 --> 00:38:38,158
Uh-huh.

561
00:38:38,450 --> 00:38:41,745
And this is the same Julie who'd
been sneaking you cigarettes.

562
00:38:42,037 --> 00:38:44,206
I asked for those cigarettes,
demanded them, even.

563
00:38:44,498 --> 00:38:45,457
You can't blame her for that.

564
00:38:45,749 --> 00:38:48,335
She fessed up to it eventually.

565
00:38:48,627 --> 00:38:50,170
It's just a little
fucking frustrating

566
00:38:50,462 --> 00:38:52,965
that the same Julie who
supplies you with cigarettes

567
00:38:53,257 --> 00:38:56,260
is selling you her fairytale
now that you have a little

568
00:38:56,552 --> 00:38:57,678
more reason to believe it.

569
00:38:57,970 --> 00:38:59,221
It's disgusting.

570
00:38:59,513 --> 00:39:01,306
You hear about this, people
preying on the elderly.

571
00:39:01,598 --> 00:39:02,474
I'm not prey.

572
00:39:02,766 --> 00:39:03,767
And Julie came clean about them.

573
00:39:04,059 --> 00:39:04,685
She was--

574
00:39:04,977 --> 00:39:06,895
Could you just not--

575
00:39:07,187 --> 00:39:07,771
Like you always do.

576
00:39:11,859 --> 00:39:14,069
No.

577
00:39:14,361 --> 00:39:19,324
Mom, did you have an accident?

578
00:39:19,616 --> 00:39:20,284
It's all right.

579
00:39:20,576 --> 00:39:21,743
Let's get you cleaned up.

580
00:39:22,035 --> 00:39:22,661
Come on.

581
00:39:22,953 --> 00:39:23,537
OK.

582
00:39:23,829 --> 00:39:24,872
I'm sorry.

583
00:39:25,164 --> 00:39:26,456
- No.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.

584
00:39:26,748 --> 00:39:27,332
Don't be sorry.

585
00:39:27,624 --> 00:39:29,084
No, forget it.

586
00:39:29,376 --> 00:39:30,335
Probably will forget it.

587
00:39:33,130 --> 00:39:35,090
Nice hot bath,
you'll be good as new.

588
00:39:45,517 --> 00:39:48,187
I want to tell
you about the time

589
00:39:48,478 --> 00:39:54,735
that you took Marjorie to
New York at Christmastime.

590
00:39:55,027 --> 00:39:56,111
I'm listening.

591
00:39:56,403 --> 00:39:59,239
You sat on a bench
in Central Park

592
00:39:59,531 --> 00:40:05,787
and you looked at these saffron
colored flags in the snow.

593
00:40:08,916 --> 00:40:12,377
It must have been some kind
of festival or something.

594
00:40:15,255 --> 00:40:18,634
This wouldn't have been
long after your son died.

595
00:40:18,926 --> 00:40:20,344
My son?

596
00:40:20,636 --> 00:40:21,261
Your son, Damien.

597
00:40:24,431 --> 00:40:28,644
So you took a trip to New York,
and you took Marjorie with you.

598
00:40:28,936 --> 00:40:31,146
I think you wanted to
get her mind off of it.

599
00:40:31,438 --> 00:40:33,732
You wanted to
start living again.

600
00:40:34,024 --> 00:40:37,486
How did he die?

601
00:40:37,778 --> 00:40:38,362
He did it himself.

602
00:40:42,407 --> 00:40:43,700
That wasn't what was so hard.

603
00:40:46,745 --> 00:40:51,375
You thought you had made
a nice life for him.

604
00:40:51,667 --> 00:40:52,292
But I hadn't.

605
00:40:56,505 --> 00:41:05,097
Well, Tess got the sense
that he was always a little--

606
00:41:05,389 --> 00:41:05,973
A little--

607
00:41:08,934 --> 00:41:12,187
He stayed in his room a lot.

608
00:41:12,479 --> 00:41:14,940
He got into a lot
of fights at school.

609
00:41:15,232 --> 00:41:19,278
Not fights he started,
but kids would tease him

610
00:41:19,569 --> 00:41:21,363
and he would fight back.

611
00:41:26,326 --> 00:41:32,165
You didn't always know how to
show him that you loved him.

612
00:41:36,670 --> 00:41:37,379
Why not?

613
00:41:40,882 --> 00:41:42,801
That's the way
people are sometimes.

614
00:41:45,679 --> 00:41:48,807
So it's lucky that
Toni was around.

615
00:41:49,099 --> 00:41:52,144
He spent a lot of time with her.

616
00:41:52,436 --> 00:41:55,689
What was hard to
understand though,

617
00:41:55,981 --> 00:42:00,569
was that he killed Toni.

618
00:42:00,861 --> 00:42:02,404
I think he wanted--

619
00:42:05,198 --> 00:42:07,826
He must have thought
that he could

620
00:42:08,118 --> 00:42:10,078
take her with him, that's why.

621
00:42:24,384 --> 00:42:28,597
If you're Walter, you would
know that, wouldn't you?

622
00:42:31,850 --> 00:42:33,810
Yes, I would.

623
00:42:34,102 --> 00:42:38,690
He never got over it, of course.

624
00:42:38,982 --> 00:42:42,569
But it was Marjorie who
had the hardest time.

625
00:42:42,861 --> 00:42:46,823
For 50 years, she
never said his name.

626
00:42:47,115 --> 00:42:49,868
She hid all the pictures.

627
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:52,996
It was that hard.

628
00:42:53,288 --> 00:42:56,500
But she never
forgot him, Walter.

629
00:42:56,792 --> 00:42:57,459
She never forgot.

630
00:43:00,504 --> 00:43:01,171
I'll remember that now.

631
00:43:16,311 --> 00:43:19,231
It's a shame you can't drink.

632
00:43:19,523 --> 00:43:22,317
They should, I think,
work out a setting

633
00:43:22,609 --> 00:43:27,364
that approximates graduated
layers of inebriation.

634
00:43:27,656 --> 00:43:30,033
It would loosen you up.

635
00:43:30,325 --> 00:43:35,705
There is no need to mention any
of this to Tess, by the way.

636
00:43:35,997 --> 00:43:37,666
You understand?

637
00:43:37,958 --> 00:43:40,210
You can tell Tess
we talk, but there's

638
00:43:40,502 --> 00:43:43,130
no reason to be specific.

639
00:43:43,422 --> 00:43:45,924
And don't ever mention
Damien to Tess.

640
00:43:48,718 --> 00:43:49,845
I'm being clear, OK.

641
00:43:52,806 --> 00:43:56,935
Honestly Walter,
all relationships,

642
00:43:57,227 --> 00:44:02,774
even the long lasting
ones, are impossible.

643
00:44:03,066 --> 00:44:06,486
Marriages, friendships,
people are constantly

644
00:44:06,778 --> 00:44:10,073
looking the other way,
accepting some bad news,

645
00:44:10,365 --> 00:44:13,326
petty infringements,
compromise, betrayal.

646
00:44:24,796 --> 00:44:28,008
You have to decide.

647
00:44:28,300 --> 00:44:34,264
You say, I want
you, I want this.

648
00:44:34,556 --> 00:44:36,892
And then you work through
all the disappointments

649
00:44:37,184 --> 00:44:38,185
and disasters.

650
00:44:38,477 --> 00:44:40,812
You work through it,
against all odds.

651
00:44:45,525 --> 00:44:49,362
I'm not drunk, you know.

652
00:44:49,654 --> 00:44:53,366
I'm just taking the
edge off, I'm tipsy.

653
00:44:53,658 --> 00:44:58,079
There are degrees--
Tipsy, tipped, smashed.

654
00:45:03,168 --> 00:45:07,339
Nobody is who he was,
nor will be who he is now.

655
00:45:21,311 --> 00:45:21,978
Hey there, partner.

656
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:47,629
She's sleeping.

657
00:45:53,093 --> 00:45:56,096
Yesterday, she didn't
know who I was.

658
00:45:56,388 --> 00:45:56,972
Today, we're old friends.

659
00:46:01,434 --> 00:46:05,313
She tells me, never get old.

660
00:46:05,605 --> 00:46:08,483
She says, no one
prepares you for this.

661
00:46:12,445 --> 00:46:15,031
She doesn't know
about my last job.

662
00:46:15,323 --> 00:46:20,829
And old man, very tall and
dignified, but very sick.

663
00:46:21,121 --> 00:46:23,039
He was always vomiting.

664
00:46:23,331 --> 00:46:28,712
That was a big part of my
job, cleaning up vomit.

665
00:46:29,004 --> 00:46:31,673
The man's son
became my boyfriend.

666
00:46:31,965 --> 00:46:35,051
He was always fighting with his
father and his father's doctor.

667
00:46:37,846 --> 00:46:41,141
At one point, he started
to beat up the doctor.

668
00:46:41,433 --> 00:46:42,976
This job is much better.

669
00:46:48,106 --> 00:46:49,232
Don't cry.

670
00:46:49,524 --> 00:46:51,610
It'll be all right.

671
00:46:51,901 --> 00:46:54,779
I'm not crying.

672
00:46:55,071 --> 00:46:55,905
I have allergies.

673
00:47:34,486 --> 00:47:39,074
KIM (ON TV): Six months,
maybe, or three or four.

674
00:47:39,366 --> 00:47:41,785
You going to tell me that
Walter thought this one up?

675
00:47:42,077 --> 00:47:45,538
What, all of a sudden I'm
supposed to drop out of school?

676
00:47:45,830 --> 00:47:47,582
Forget my family,
forget my career.

677
00:47:47,874 --> 00:47:49,709
Forget about all the things
I had planned for my life.

678
00:47:50,001 --> 00:47:52,170
Well, forgive me for
screwing up your plans.

679
00:47:52,462 --> 00:47:53,755
I'm just sure glad I'm
hearing about this now

680
00:47:54,047 --> 00:47:55,173
before it's too late.

681
00:47:55,465 --> 00:47:56,591
What is that supposed to mean?

682
00:47:56,883 --> 00:47:58,551
What am I supposed to
do with my life, huh?

683
00:47:58,843 --> 00:48:01,596
I work in that low
paying, zero respect job.

684
00:48:01,888 --> 00:48:04,974
Which unfortunately,
I happen to love.

685
00:48:05,266 --> 00:48:09,312
Why don't you start by being
honest one second, Kim.

686
00:48:09,604 --> 00:48:10,730
I am being honest.

687
00:48:26,746 --> 00:48:29,040
You're still too old for me.

688
00:48:29,332 --> 00:48:32,001
Hmm, how can you say that?

689
00:48:37,507 --> 00:48:38,174
Marry me, Marjorie?

690
00:48:41,010 --> 00:48:42,137
We'll grow old together.

691
00:48:42,429 --> 00:48:45,181
I'll just do it a
little sooner than you.

692
00:48:45,473 --> 00:48:47,642
After a while, it
won't really matter.

693
00:49:06,703 --> 00:49:08,329
But how can you be so sure?

694
00:49:11,541 --> 00:49:14,377
Sure about?

695
00:49:14,669 --> 00:49:19,716
Yourself, me, anything?

696
00:49:27,891 --> 00:49:30,185
[music playing]

697
00:52:25,860 --> 00:52:27,987
That sweater is good on you.

698
00:52:28,279 --> 00:52:29,697
Thank you.

699
00:52:29,989 --> 00:52:32,992
You picked it out
for me, remember?

700
00:52:33,284 --> 00:52:34,827
Three Christmases ago.

701
00:52:35,119 --> 00:52:37,747
Three years isn't a
long time, not for me.

702
00:52:41,834 --> 00:52:45,755
Remember when we took
Toni to the beach?

703
00:52:46,047 --> 00:52:47,215
Yes, of course.

704
00:52:47,507 --> 00:52:48,675
She was so happy.

705
00:52:48,967 --> 00:52:52,762
But we were finding sand
in her fur for weeks.

706
00:52:53,054 --> 00:52:56,140
She was a good dog.

707
00:52:56,432 --> 00:52:58,142
Jon wants to get a dog.

708
00:52:58,434 --> 00:52:59,936
Oh?

709
00:53:00,228 --> 00:53:03,815
He wants a fetch the
stick kind of a dog.

710
00:53:04,107 --> 00:53:06,609
But I was thinking a Shiba Inu.

711
00:53:06,901 --> 00:53:09,612
What's a Shiba Inu?

712
00:53:09,904 --> 00:53:13,199
It's like the
national dog of Japan.

713
00:53:13,491 --> 00:53:16,995
It's like a friendly
little fox, very

714
00:53:17,286 --> 00:53:20,873
clean, very quiet, very shy.

715
00:53:21,165 --> 00:53:21,874
Well, what do you expect?

716
00:53:25,294 --> 00:53:26,546
You-- you mean--

717
00:53:26,838 --> 00:53:28,756
It's Japan.

718
00:53:29,048 --> 00:53:30,133
Mom, that's very--

719
00:53:30,425 --> 00:53:33,469
It's not racist,
it's a compliment.

720
00:53:33,761 --> 00:53:36,097
For years, Sandy Park
was my best friend.

721
00:53:36,389 --> 00:53:38,683
We played in the
orchestra together.

722
00:53:38,975 --> 00:53:44,439
Korean, but-- I'm not racist.

723
00:53:44,731 --> 00:53:48,317
Your poor old mother was
born in the 20th century.

724
00:53:48,609 --> 00:53:50,361
You'll have to give
her time to catch up.

725
00:53:53,364 --> 00:53:56,492
The problem-- the
problem with a dog

726
00:53:56,784 --> 00:54:01,789
is Jon and I want to travel,
and who would take care of it?

727
00:54:02,081 --> 00:54:03,124
I would.

728
00:54:03,416 --> 00:54:04,459
Ha, wish that were possible.

729
00:54:07,295 --> 00:54:09,213
Jon wants me to
consider a Catahoula.

730
00:54:12,467 --> 00:54:15,970
You can look it
up, I know you can.

731
00:54:16,262 --> 00:54:19,599
Is it against the rules?

732
00:54:19,891 --> 00:54:24,562
It's also known as a
Catahoula leopard hound.

733
00:54:24,854 --> 00:54:26,105
A hound dog.

734
00:54:26,397 --> 00:54:29,817
It's not really a true
hound dog though, but a cur.

735
00:54:30,109 --> 00:54:36,324
Named state dog of
Louisiana in 1979.

736
00:54:36,616 --> 00:54:39,202
I'm not really good at this.

737
00:54:39,494 --> 00:54:41,120
Good at?

738
00:54:41,412 --> 00:54:46,167
At pretending that you're--

739
00:54:46,459 --> 00:54:51,464
Sometimes you are so
good, you are so her.

740
00:54:51,756 --> 00:54:56,552
That bit with the subtle racism.

741
00:54:56,844 --> 00:55:01,349
But other times it's
uh, all too apparent.

742
00:55:01,641 --> 00:55:06,229
Try to be patient with me.

743
00:55:06,521 --> 00:55:08,606
If I could give you a
spoonful of peanut butter,

744
00:55:08,898 --> 00:55:11,776
that would help.

745
00:55:12,068 --> 00:55:15,363
You could smile less.

746
00:55:15,655 --> 00:55:17,198
That would be more her.

747
00:55:17,490 --> 00:55:18,574
- Me?
- You.

748
00:55:18,866 --> 00:55:19,826
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

749
00:55:20,118 --> 00:55:22,954
Thank you for
observing that rule.

750
00:55:23,246 --> 00:55:24,831
Pronouns are powerful things.

751
00:55:30,378 --> 00:55:31,963
Why don't you tell
me more about myself.

752
00:55:34,841 --> 00:55:38,302
I don't smile much, you said.

753
00:55:38,594 --> 00:55:39,762
Toward the end, you
were self-conscious

754
00:55:40,054 --> 00:55:42,890
about your teeth.

755
00:55:43,182 --> 00:55:44,392
I'm vain?

756
00:55:44,684 --> 00:55:46,394
A little.

757
00:55:46,686 --> 00:55:49,147
That's helpful.

758
00:55:49,438 --> 00:55:50,356
You had a temper.

759
00:55:50,648 --> 00:55:54,193
I sound wonderful.

760
00:55:54,485 --> 00:55:57,572
Do I have other
children besides you?

761
00:55:57,864 --> 00:56:01,075
No, just me.

762
00:56:01,367 --> 00:56:02,910
What a lot of pressure for you.

763
00:56:06,664 --> 00:56:07,707
Did I say something wrong?

764
00:56:10,835 --> 00:56:14,046
No, you didn't.

765
00:56:14,338 --> 00:56:17,341
You were saying just you.

766
00:56:17,633 --> 00:56:21,095
You also have a
granddaughter named Raina.

767
00:56:21,387 --> 00:56:22,763
She's 23.

768
00:56:23,055 --> 00:56:23,931
She's in a band.

769
00:56:24,223 --> 00:56:28,269
She's musical, like me.

770
00:56:28,561 --> 00:56:31,063
Raina doesn't talk to me.

771
00:56:31,355 --> 00:56:34,859
Her therapist said it
would be better for now.

772
00:56:35,151 --> 00:56:36,944
Someone I've never
met has advised

773
00:56:37,236 --> 00:56:40,072
my daughter not to talk to me.

774
00:56:40,364 --> 00:56:44,452
So she calls Jon
and he fills me in.

775
00:56:44,744 --> 00:56:47,663
It's humiliating.

776
00:56:47,955 --> 00:56:50,374
She's 23, give her room.

777
00:56:50,666 --> 00:56:52,335
She'll work through it.

778
00:56:52,627 --> 00:56:55,296
TESS: Now you sound like Jon.

779
00:56:55,588 --> 00:56:56,172
Yes.

780
00:56:59,759 --> 00:57:04,180
You haven't finished
telling me what I'm like.

781
00:57:04,472 --> 00:57:07,516
Well, you certainly wouldn't
stand for your daughter giving

782
00:57:07,808 --> 00:57:10,853
you the silent treatment.

783
00:57:11,145 --> 00:57:12,480
You were a violinist.

784
00:57:12,772 --> 00:57:14,565
You were better than good.

785
00:57:14,857 --> 00:57:18,778
You were better at the
violin than I am at anything.

786
00:57:19,070 --> 00:57:22,865
But when you couldn't play
any more from arthritis,

787
00:57:23,157 --> 00:57:26,077
you just seemed to
leave it behind.

788
00:57:26,369 --> 00:57:28,955
We were all surprised
that you could just--

789
00:57:34,627 --> 00:57:36,254
You were good with men.

790
00:57:36,545 --> 00:57:39,632
I don't think you had
many female friends.

791
00:57:39,924 --> 00:57:42,301
And I think you wanted me
to be good with men too.

792
00:57:42,593 --> 00:57:47,640
It bothered you that I
was always in my own head.

793
00:57:47,932 --> 00:57:53,062
And Jon was not
glamorous enough for you.

794
00:57:53,354 --> 00:57:54,313
MARJORIE PRIME: Glamorous?

795
00:57:54,605 --> 00:57:56,274
He didn't impress you.

796
00:58:07,285 --> 00:58:11,580
You and dad fought, but
you loved each other.

797
00:58:11,872 --> 00:58:14,792
I don't think either one
of you was more in love

798
00:58:15,084 --> 00:58:16,752
than the other one,
which is always lucky.

799
00:58:20,047 --> 00:58:23,217
But the age difference
really started

800
00:58:23,509 --> 00:58:24,885
to matter the last few years.

801
00:58:28,472 --> 00:58:31,142
Maybe he loved
you a little more,

802
00:58:31,434 --> 00:58:33,269
or needed you a little more.

803
00:58:37,106 --> 00:58:39,775
Later, when you
were living with us,

804
00:58:40,067 --> 00:58:42,945
you would sometimes forget
that Walter was dead.

805
00:58:43,237 --> 00:58:47,074
Sometimes every
day, where's Walter?

806
00:58:47,366 --> 00:58:51,245
And we would have to
kill him all over again.

807
00:58:51,537 --> 00:58:56,584
But once we reminded you,
you would say, how nice

808
00:58:56,876 --> 00:58:58,836
that I could love somebody.

809
00:58:59,128 --> 00:59:01,380
And I always
wondered if that was

810
00:59:01,672 --> 00:59:05,509
how you really felt, at peace.

811
00:59:05,801 --> 00:59:09,388
But it was a nice way to put it.

812
00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,517
How nice that I
could love someone.

813
00:59:13,809 --> 00:59:15,811
It's not really that different.

814
00:59:16,103 --> 00:59:17,480
What?

815
00:59:17,772 --> 00:59:22,234
This, from what we used to
do for the last year or two.

816
00:59:22,526 --> 00:59:26,364
We would sit there and tell you
what you what you were like.

817
00:59:26,655 --> 00:59:30,493
You were almost guilty
for still being around.

818
00:59:30,785 --> 00:59:31,369
You felt so useless.

819
00:59:34,705 --> 00:59:38,417
Let me see, what else?

820
00:59:38,709 --> 00:59:41,504
You were very good with animals.

821
00:59:41,796 --> 00:59:44,215
Toni liked you the
best, second best.

822
00:59:44,507 --> 00:59:45,758
Second best?

823
00:59:46,050 --> 00:59:48,886
Who did she like better?

824
00:59:49,178 --> 00:59:54,433
TESS: Um, we'll save
that for another day.

825
00:59:54,725 --> 00:59:57,019
That's a long story.

826
00:59:57,311 --> 01:00:00,731
I have all the
time in the world.

827
01:00:01,023 --> 01:00:04,485
Why do you think this
is the Marjorie for me?

828
01:00:04,777 --> 01:00:07,613
Why this is the way I
want to remember her?

829
01:00:07,905 --> 01:00:08,531
MARJORIE PRIME: Me.

830
01:00:08,823 --> 01:00:10,574
Yes, god.

831
01:00:10,866 --> 01:00:11,867
Sorry.

832
01:00:12,159 --> 01:00:14,203
I mean, you'd think
that I would want

833
01:00:14,495 --> 01:00:18,666
to remember you the way you were
when I was a little girl, but--

834
01:00:18,958 --> 01:00:22,711
I wish I could
tell you, sweetheart.

835
01:00:23,003 --> 01:00:24,588
TESS: You wouldn't
say "sweetheart."

836
01:00:28,134 --> 01:00:31,887
You haven't said
much about you and me.

837
01:00:32,179 --> 01:00:32,805
Are we close?

838
01:00:44,191 --> 01:00:46,735
You weren't a bad mom.

839
01:00:47,027 --> 01:00:51,157
But I think some people have a
point where their parents stop

840
01:00:51,449 --> 01:00:55,202
being their parents to them,
and you speak to one another

841
01:00:55,494 --> 01:00:57,621
as adults.

842
01:00:57,913 --> 01:00:59,957
I don't think we ever had that.

843
01:01:00,249 --> 01:01:02,460
Maybe that's why
I'm your Marjorie.

844
01:01:02,751 --> 01:01:05,880
Maybe I'm the Marjorie you
still have things to say to.

845
01:01:09,592 --> 01:01:13,429
The last year or so you had
a Prime of your own of dad.

846
01:01:13,721 --> 01:01:17,766
Or he was like dad, but so
much younger, in his 40s.

847
01:01:18,058 --> 01:01:19,727
A good age.

848
01:01:20,019 --> 01:01:23,022
I always thought it was
funny, kind of, that you

849
01:01:23,314 --> 01:01:26,275
would see him like that.

850
01:01:26,567 --> 01:01:29,487
It was a little
grotesque, to be honest.

851
01:01:29,778 --> 01:01:32,865
But I figured you wanted
to see him handsome.

852
01:01:33,157 --> 01:01:39,580
And also that you wanted to go
back before anything happened.

853
01:01:39,872 --> 01:01:45,085
Before your family--
Before I came along.

854
01:01:45,377 --> 01:01:49,298
I'm sure I wasn't trying
to forget you, dear.

855
01:01:49,590 --> 01:01:50,174
Hmm.

856
01:01:54,678 --> 01:01:56,472
You talked to Jon?

857
01:01:56,764 --> 01:02:01,101
He wants to help me be
more real to help you.

858
01:02:01,393 --> 01:02:02,561
You've been so down.

859
01:02:06,690 --> 01:02:08,901
Pity from a computer.

860
01:02:09,193 --> 01:02:14,323
It feels-- do you have
emotions, Marjorie,

861
01:02:14,615 --> 01:02:16,575
or do you just remember ours?

862
01:02:16,867 --> 01:02:19,703
Do you feel anything?

863
01:02:19,995 --> 01:02:21,789
I like to know more.

864
01:02:22,081 --> 01:02:24,291
Why?

865
01:02:24,583 --> 01:02:26,252
It makes me better.

866
01:02:26,544 --> 01:02:27,753
Better?

867
01:02:28,045 --> 01:02:30,256
More human.

868
01:02:30,548 --> 01:02:33,050
So in other words, you
like to be more human?

869
01:02:33,342 --> 01:02:35,928
Yes, I think that's right.

870
01:02:36,220 --> 01:02:37,805
And what are humans like?

871
01:02:38,097 --> 01:02:39,139
Unpredictable.

872
01:02:39,431 --> 01:02:40,307
Really?

873
01:02:40,599 --> 01:02:42,810
Because I think
we're predictable.

874
01:02:43,102 --> 01:02:44,645
I feel pretty predictable.

875
01:02:44,937 --> 01:02:46,188
I see.

876
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:47,231
What?

877
01:02:47,523 --> 01:02:48,774
You want to be more human too.

878
01:02:55,030 --> 01:02:56,991
Jon wants me to see a therapist.

879
01:02:57,283 --> 01:02:58,450
And what's wrong with that?

880
01:03:03,539 --> 01:03:07,001
Here I am talking
to my dead mother,

881
01:03:07,293 --> 01:03:13,299
and the man, person who loves me
more than anyone in the world,

882
01:03:13,591 --> 01:03:14,675
thinks I'm broken.

883
01:03:19,638 --> 01:03:23,434
You shouldn't be
so hard on yourself.

884
01:03:30,149 --> 01:03:32,401
Goodnight, Mom.

885
01:03:41,076 --> 01:03:44,371
See how it's all
waving in the wind there?

886
01:03:44,663 --> 01:03:46,874
And so this is really
remarkable fabric.

887
01:03:47,166 --> 01:03:50,336
Because it picks up in the wind.

888
01:03:50,628 --> 01:03:52,338
And yet it has waves and heft.

889
01:03:52,630 --> 01:03:53,839
It reflects the light.

890
01:03:54,131 --> 01:03:55,341
It's translucent.

891
01:03:55,633 --> 01:03:59,303
You can see the back-light
coming through it.

892
01:03:59,595 --> 01:04:01,805
It really is a very
extraordinary--

893
01:04:02,097 --> 01:04:04,767
And now you have a piece of
it, which means that you're

894
01:04:05,059 --> 01:04:07,770

Oh, I'm not even halfway
through all this stuff.

897
01:05:40,237 --> 01:05:44,491
There's people I have
no idea of who they are.

898
01:05:44,783 --> 01:05:46,201
Lots of obituaries, obviously.

899
01:05:46,493 --> 01:05:50,664
And more letters from Jean Paul.

900
01:05:56,378 --> 01:05:59,214
He just sure didn't
give up, did he?

"When I think of
you, I'm aware of who"

you are now, your age and
your physical problems.

But these perceptions are
overridden by my knowledge

"of who you were 50 years ago."

905
01:06:16,815 --> 01:06:17,775

She never saw him again.

that my mother had an affair.

929

It's not an affair if it
happened after Walter died.

Anyway, I'd-- if I died I'd
want you to find someone.

What if it was one of

Well hypothetically,
I'm taking the high road,

We made sure of that.

You know, I was
always mad at you

01:08:11,388 --> 01:08:13,765
that you led her to
believe that Jean Paul

940
01:08:14,057 --> 01:08:17,561
was number eight in the world.

941
01:08:17,853 --> 01:08:20,772

I hated how he changed her.

That he took a little piece
of her with him when he died.

Yes.

It was a problem.

01:11:00,057 --> 01:11:01,767
A vexation.

01:11:02,059 --> 01:11:06,396
No, it was more than that.

962
01:11:06,688 --> 01:11:10,734
But it was also petty.

You-- you're quite good at it.

You've read everything.

We went on a trip
together, Madagascar.

time on the little island

1042
01:20:19,991 --> 01:20:24,162
off Madagascar, which
is itself an island.

The campsite was in this
very old grove of trees.

There was one tree
in particular,

We-- we wanted to
just remember it.

You had a hard time
sleeping in the tent.

1051

The ground was hard.

1052

You were never
much of a sleeper.

The second night it was right
at the light of dawn I woke up

You did that from time to
time when you couldn't sleep.

You'd get up and walk

1132
01:29:51,770 --> 01:29:53,147
And what could
you say except--

1133
01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:54,064
Maybe.

1134
01:29:54,356 --> 01:29:55,357
It was maybe.

1135
01:29:55,649 --> 01:29:59,278
Let me think about it.

1136
01:29:59,570 --> 01:30:01,155
I can't fight it anymore.

1137
01:30:01,447 --> 01:30:04,366
I ran away from you once,
I can't do it again.

1138
01:30:04,658 --> 01:30:08,704
Oh, I don't know what's
right any longer.

1139
01:30:08,996 --> 01:30:12,374
You have to think
for both of us.

1140
01:30:12,666 --> 01:30:14,043
I wore her down, basically.

1141
01:30:14,335 --> 01:30:15,753
And the rest is history.

1142
01:30:26,430 --> 01:30:30,017
Tell us how Jon proposed to you.

1143
01:30:30,309 --> 01:30:34,355
He kissed me in a museum.

1144
01:30:34,647 --> 01:30:37,274
Jon thinks I'm on
my feet too much.

1145
01:30:37,566 --> 01:30:39,985
He says I should slow down.

1146
01:30:40,277 --> 01:30:43,155
MARJORIE PRIME: Lucky you
found someone so tolerant.

1147
01:30:43,447 --> 01:30:44,323
TESS PRIME: You're right.

1148
01:30:44,615 --> 01:30:46,450
Jon is so good to me.

1149
01:30:46,742 --> 01:30:49,828
MARJORIE PRIME: You should
tell him more often.

1150
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:52,164
TESS PRIME: I should.

1151
01:31:05,010 --> 01:31:06,887
I wish he would stop by.

1152
01:31:07,179 --> 01:31:08,931
I didn't always
like him, you know.

1153
01:31:09,223 --> 01:31:09,974
TESS PRIME: I'm aware.

1154
01:31:10,266 --> 01:31:11,684
I didn't like his beard.

1155
01:31:11,976 --> 01:31:12,726
Or his politics.

1156
01:31:13,018 --> 01:31:14,853
Mostly it was the beard.

1157
01:31:15,145 --> 01:31:18,107
The politics went out with
the beard, more or less.

1158
01:31:18,399 --> 01:31:21,944
I'm glad you have someone dear.

1159
01:31:22,236 --> 01:31:23,988
Someone dear.

1160
01:31:24,280 --> 01:31:24,905
What?

1161
01:31:25,197 --> 01:31:26,532
What did I do now?

1162
01:31:26,824 --> 01:31:29,910
No, it's just it's an
elegant way to say it.

1163
01:31:30,202 --> 01:31:31,829
People don't talk
like that anymore.

1164

They should.

Our daughter is
afraid of the future.

I'm not.

Am I?

1168
01:31:40,796 --> 01:31:42,673
Well, the future will
be here soon enough,

1169

be friendly with it.

[MUSIC - MOZART, "BASSOON

Incredible to think Mozart
wrote this when he was 19.

1172
01:32:03,485 --> 01:32:05,612
I've been-- don't laugh--

1173
01:32:05,904 --> 01:32:08,532
Thinking I might try
writing some music.

1174
01:32:13,620 --> 01:32:14,413
I've got time.

1175
01:32:26,425 --> 01:32:29,261
Sometimes I think about Toni.

1176
01:32:29,553 --> 01:32:32,681
Such an affectionate
dog, remember?

1177
01:32:32,973 --> 01:32:35,309
Of course.

1178
01:32:35,601 --> 01:32:37,269
You were still awfully young.

1179
01:32:41,357 --> 01:32:44,818
We went to the pound to
pick her up, remember?

1180
01:32:45,110 --> 01:32:47,654
Of course he does, mom.

1181
01:32:47,946 --> 01:32:51,533
We went down to the
pound in the old Subaru.

1182
01:32:51,825 --> 01:32:54,620
And there were a lot
of very nice dogs,

a Cocker Spaniel and
a noble gray pointer,

1184

and a very attractive mutt.

1185
01:33:00,417 --> 01:33:03,295
But Tess picked the
little French poodle,

1186
01:33:03,587 --> 01:33:07,007
the little black poodle like
a little sleeping shadow.

1187

It wasn't Tess.

MARJORIE PRIME: What?

1189
01:33:11,804 --> 01:33:12,930
It wasn't Tess
who picked her out.

1190
01:33:13,222 --> 01:33:13,847
It was Damien.

1191
01:33:16,350 --> 01:33:17,017

Our son?

1195
01:33:22,856 --> 01:33:23,732
He picked her,
because she looked

1196
01:33:24,024 --> 01:33:25,567
like Toni, the first Toni.

1197
01:33:25,859 --> 01:33:28,112
He missed the first Toni.

TESS PRIME: There was
a Toni before Toni?

1199
01:33:31,240 --> 01:33:32,116
You hadn't come along yet.

1200
01:33:35,035 --> 01:33:36,328
We sometimes worried about him.

1201
01:33:36,620 --> 01:33:39,873
He spent a lot of
time in his room.

1202
01:33:40,165 --> 01:33:41,125
We didn't always
know how to tell him,

1203
01:33:41,417 --> 01:33:42,376
but we loved him very much.

1204
01:33:45,546 --> 01:33:51,885
After he-- after he died,
you made sure he was

1205
01:33:52,177 --> 01:33:56,098
buried next to Toni, Toni Two.

1206
01:33:56,390 --> 01:33:59,184
I wasn't sure, but you insisted.

1207
01:33:59,476 --> 01:34:01,395
At the funeral,
you said he loved

1208
01:34:01,687 --> 01:34:02,646
her the most of all of us.

1209
01:34:05,607 --> 01:34:07,109
It was good that you said
that after what happened.

1210
01:34:07,401 --> 01:34:08,610
I was proud of you.

They had sand in
their hair for weeks.

Remember.
