neighborhood in Passaic.
174
00:10:01,212 --> 00:10:02,850
There is no such thing.
175
00:10:04,050 --> 00:10:05,249
Sweetheart,
176
00:10:05,249 --> 00:10:08,652
I am so, so sorry, but... Well,
177
00:10:08,652 --> 00:10:10,454
- I have rehearsal this morning.
- Yeah, yeah.
178
00:10:10,454 --> 00:10:11,688
Yeah, yeah, well, another time.
179
00:10:11,688 --> 00:10:14,795
- And you have your...
- Dog biographies.
180
00:10:16,262 --> 00:10:17,527
(PHONE RINGS)
181
00:10:17,527 --> 00:10:19,063
- MARGARET: So, Mom?
- LILLIAN: Huh?
182
00:10:19,063 --> 00:10:20,832
- Before I go, I took Finn...
- (PHONE RINGING)
183
00:10:20,832 --> 00:10:23,167
...to the orthodontist
this week.
184
00:10:23,167 --> 00:10:25,669
- I didn't even want him to go.
- Edith! Phone!
185
00:10:25,669 --> 00:10:27,805
Kept telling him about
all the brilliant writers
186
00:10:27,805 --> 00:10:28,973
with crooked teeth.
187
00:10:28,973 --> 00:10:30,940
Lillian Hall's residence.
Yes, how are you?
188
00:10:30,940 --> 00:10:32,710
Anyway, according
to this orthodontist,
he has, uh...
189
00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:34,812
Well, you're in luck.
She's just, uh...
190
00:10:34,812 --> 00:10:36,113
She's just finishing up
a meeting.
191
00:10:36,113 --> 00:10:37,682
- And, uh...
- ...malocclusion problem.
192
00:10:37,682 --> 00:10:39,383
EDITH: Sorry about the emails.
193
00:10:39,383 --> 00:10:42,019
- Oh, that doesn't sound good.
- EDITH: Our internet
was down for a while.
194
00:10:42,019 --> 00:10:44,788
- EDITH: Is that...
- Uh, Edith, who is it?
195
00:10:44,788 --> 00:10:47,424
The problem is that between
the extractions and the braces,
196
00:10:47,424 --> 00:10:49,026
it's gonna cost
like eight grand.
197
00:10:49,026 --> 00:10:51,363
- EDITH: Alright, hold on, honey.
- Whoa, wow. Huh.
198
00:10:51,363 --> 00:10:53,197
EDITH: It's Bill Long.
199
00:10:53,197 --> 00:10:54,365
LILLIAN: Bill?
200
00:10:54,365 --> 00:10:57,601
American Theatre Wing?
Lifetime Achievement Award?
201
00:10:57,601 --> 00:10:59,904
- LILLIAN: Oh.
- Oh, oh my God, Mom! Really?
202
00:10:59,904 --> 00:11:01,973
How old do they think I am?
203
00:11:01,973 --> 00:11:03,174
By now, 104.
204
00:11:03,174 --> 00:11:06,043
Just tell him
I... I... I can't talk now.
205
00:11:06,043 --> 00:11:07,911
- EDITH: No, Lillian. Lillian.
- That we are in rehearsal.
206
00:11:07,911 --> 00:11:10,982
- And I've got, I'm doing a play.
- EDITH: You tell him.
I've told him multiple times.
207
00:11:10,982 --> 00:11:12,283
- LILLIAN: No, come on!
- EDITH: Lillian.
208
00:11:12,283 --> 00:11:13,818
You're acting like a child.
209
00:11:13,818 --> 00:11:15,253
- I don't care.
- Argh!
210
00:11:15,253 --> 00:11:17,255
She's finished with the meeting.
Bill, you have perfect timing.
211
00:11:17,255 --> 00:11:19,727
Oh, she's dying to talk to you.
Here she is.
212
00:11:21,895 --> 00:11:24,695
LILLIAN: Bill. Oh, darling.
213
00:11:24,695 --> 00:11:28,632
What a wonderful treat
to hear from you today.
214
00:11:28,632 --> 00:11:34,171
Oh, I would be honored.
I would be so honored.
215
00:11:34,171 --> 00:11:36,741
But listen, dear,
we're in rehearsal.
216
00:11:36,741 --> 00:11:38,976
Previews start next week.
217
00:11:38,976 --> 00:11:42,647
I mean, is there any possibility
218
00:11:42,647 --> 00:11:45,916
that perhaps
this could wait until...
219
00:11:45,916 --> 00:11:48,152
Well, until after we open?
220
00:11:48,152 --> 00:11:49,987
Why can't she
just accept it now?
221
00:11:49,987 --> 00:11:52,757
Oh, it's an actress thing.
Don't even try.
222
00:11:52,757 --> 00:11:54,926
LILLIAN: I knew
you would understand.
223
00:11:54,926 --> 00:11:56,464
Oh, Bill, wait, wait.
224
00:11:57,463 --> 00:11:59,063
Will I see you opening night?
225
00:11:59,063 --> 00:12:00,935
- (SCOFFS)
- (LILLIAN GIGGLES)
226
00:12:01,334 --> 00:12:03,868
Okay! (LAUGHS)
227
00:12:03,868 --> 00:12:07,905
Yes. And the same to you.
Bye now.
228
00:12:07,905 --> 00:12:10,778
- And the Oscar goes to...
- Oh, shut up.
229
00:12:11,245 --> 00:12:12,376
Oh, honey,
230
00:12:12,376 --> 00:12:15,346
I'm sorry we got interrupted.
What was it you were saying?
231
00:12:15,346 --> 00:12:17,514
- MARGARET: About the braces.
- LILLIAN: Yes, yes, yes.
232
00:12:17,514 --> 00:12:18,882
Well, George has
a new commission.
233
00:12:18,882 --> 00:12:21,753
He's doing a... restoration
on a brownstone in Brooklyn.
234
00:12:21,753 --> 00:12:22,987
But until that gets started...
235
00:12:22,987 --> 00:12:25,184
Lillian, It's time to get
your bony ass in gear.
236
00:12:25,184 --> 00:12:26,894
Well, isn't he painting?
237
00:12:27,427 --> 00:12:28,926
Well, yeah, yeah, yeah.
238
00:12:28,926 --> 00:12:32,129
He's doing some
really fantastic watercolors,
239
00:12:32,129 --> 00:12:33,730
but he's between jobs,
you know.
240
00:12:33,730 --> 00:12:35,533
- LILLIAN: Uh-huh.
- And he still hasn't been paid
for the last one.
241
00:12:35,533 --> 00:12:36,367
- So...
- Oh.
242
00:12:36,367 --> 00:12:38,736
Lillian.
You're leaving in 20 minutes.
243
00:12:38,736 --> 00:12:40,404
Twenty minutes?
244
00:12:40,404 --> 00:12:42,039
Oh my God, I'm not dressed.
245
00:12:42,039 --> 00:12:45,209
I haven't combed my hair.
I haven't even brushed my teeth.
246
00:12:45,209 --> 00:12:46,977
Listen, sweetheart.
247
00:12:46,977 --> 00:12:50,448
We will talk
about this very soon.
248
00:12:50,448 --> 00:12:51,782
- Okay? All right.
- Okay, yeah.
249
00:12:51,782 --> 00:12:54,488
Yeah, yeah.
Whoa! I gotta go too.
250
00:12:56,622 --> 00:12:58,556
- So, okay.
- LILLIAN: Dogs and chickens.
251
00:12:58,556 --> 00:13:00,995
- Chickens and dogs.
- Bye.
252
00:13:01,628 --> 00:13:03,097
Bye, Edith.
253
00:13:03,763 --> 00:13:05,499
Goodbye, Margaret.
254
00:13:06,232 --> 00:13:07,268
Bye, Mom.

(BREATHES DEEPLY)
256
00:13:13,338 --> 00:13:14,475
Okay.
257
00:13:17,110 --> 00:13:21,979
Eight thousand dollars?
What do I look like, a bank?
258
00:13:21,979 --> 00:13:23,884
On a good day, yeah.
259
00:13:24,483 --> 00:13:26,850
(SCOFFS) Dog biographies.
260
00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:30,558
EDITH: I think autobiographies
would be a lot more fun.
261
00:13:31,591 --> 00:13:33,624
Hey, I'll do it.

I don't know, Edith.
271
00:13:54,045 --> 00:13:57,314
Do you think actors
should have children?
272
00:13:57,314 --> 00:13:59,450
You want an argument
or an answer?
273
00:13:59,450 --> 00:14:00,552
LILLIAN: An answer.
274
00:14:00,552 --> 00:14:01,622
No.
275
00:14:02,456 --> 00:14:03,855
Why not?
276
00:14:03,855 --> 00:14:05,890
- Now you want an argument.
- LILLIAN: Come on.
277
00:14:05,890 --> 00:14:08,460
There are a lot of actors
who are also parents.
278
00:14:08,460 --> 00:14:10,628
That's known as an oxymoron.
279
00:14:10,628 --> 00:14:12,129
Speaking of,
it wouldn't kill you
280
00:14:12,129 --> 00:14:14,159
to pay for your
grandkid's braces.
281
00:14:14,159 --> 00:14:15,232

- Just don't go anywhere.

Hmm.

Weird.
296
00:14:52,071 --> 00:14:54,205
I was born here.
297
00:14:54,205 --> 00:14:56,774
My father
and my mother lived here.
298
00:14:56,774 --> 00:15:00,544
My grandfather too.
I love this house.
299
00:15:00,544 --> 00:15:03,915
I can't imagine my life
without the cherry orchard.
300

So if it must be sold,
then sell me along with it.

I sympathize with you.

ought to say it differently.

Don't judge me
too harshly, Peter.
315

you belonged to my own family.

No, I can't sit still.
I'm not in a state to do it.
320
00:16:12,884 --> 00:16:14,586
Now let me try to remember.
321
00:16:14,586 --> 00:16:16,387
- Red to the corner.
- Wait.
322
00:16:16,387 --> 00:16:20,124
- Twi... twice to the center.
- That's act one.
323
00:16:20,124 --> 00:16:21,892
- LILLIAN: What?
-"Red into the corner."
324
00:16:21,892 --> 00:16:23,231
That's from act one.
325
00:16:27,668 --> 00:16:29,066
Yes.
326
00:16:29,066 --> 00:16:31,239
Of course it's act one,
I know that.
327
00:16:32,138 --> 00:16:35,409
But that's what's on
her mind right now.
328
00:16:36,375 --> 00:16:39,143
You know, it's called,
uh, subtext.
329
00:16:39,143 --> 00:16:41,345
Anybody here
ever heard of subtext, huh?
330
00:16:41,345 --> 00:16:42,947
- Okay, here we go.
- LILLIAN: All right.
331
00:16:42,947 --> 00:16:46,184
What about emotional recall
or sense memory?
332
00:16:46,184 --> 00:16:49,586
Does the name Stanislavski
mean anything to anyone?
333
00:16:49,586 --> 00:16:52,289
I mean, we are doing Chekhov,
aren't we?
334
00:16:52,289 --> 00:16:55,259
Or is this just a sitcom
where we hit our marks,
335
00:16:55,259 --> 00:16:58,429
say our lines, maybe we can add
a laugh track to it?

01:14:49,768 --> 01:14:51,068
She was sitting on a swing.

She didn't have far to go.

I'm sorry, what did you say?
1410
01:15:42,453 --> 01:15:44,858
I guess she didn't
want anyone to know
1411
01:15:45,425 --> 01:15:46,558
because of the play.

she's worried about.

- MARGARET: Oh.
1432
01:16:49,489 --> 01:16:52,490
Yeah, so let me get this right.
You chose an employee over me
1433
01:16:52,490 --> 01:16:53,724
to take care of you?
1434
01:16:53,724 --> 01:16:56,227
Why did you even call to tell me
that you were in the hospital?
1435
01:16:56,227 --> 01:16:57,995
No, you didn't.
You didn't. You never would.
1436
01:16:57,995 --> 01:16:59,964
She did that for you,
just like she does everything.
1437
01:16:59,964 --> 01:17:01,265
Maybe now is not the best time.
1438
01:17:01,265 --> 01:17:03,337
Now is absolutely the time.
1439
01:17:05,337 --> 01:17:08,405
So, this is what your visit
to see us was really all about?
1440

Auditioning me?

No.

could have been like with us?

With the chickens?

- I don't like it either,
1447
01:17:21,718 --> 01:17:23,487
- but your mother's lying
in a hospital bed right now.
- That's fine. No, it's fine.
1448
01:17:23,487 --> 01:17:25,022

the chance...
1457

to have some time
together before...

Spare you my disappearing act
as long as I could.
