"As I was saying, dear lord," "Before my wife interrupted me..." "Even those old-fashioned, pain-in-the-ass traditions," "Like thanksgiving," "Which really means something to us," "Even though god damn it," "We couldn't tell you what it is," "Are starting to stop," "And 1,000-year-old trees are falling over dead," "And they shouldn't."

"Thanksgiving day, 1952, 2:00 in the afternoon," "My sister brought that fellow" "To our house for dinner," "After his own mother had stuffed him to the gills." "And still he ate..." "Like a horse in a uniform." "Claudia, be a good girl." "Pass the cranberry sauce." "Oh, I couldn't take my eyes off that..." "Dark blue uniform" "And those bright silver wings" "And his big, strong hands." "And he had a little mustache." "I think we should just" "Stay out of it." "I think we got to hear this." "Go for it, glad." "I was 18 years old, and he was only 21," "And we were both so nice-looking." "I can still taste the salt on his lips," "Those soft, soft lips," "And that tickly little" "Oh, tickly, tickly little mustache." "I can still feel it 43 years later," "Like a toothbrush." "He kissed me." "When?" "One christmas eve." "And for one special moment," "My own little life" "Was as big as I could ever want it to be." "To have someone so close to you," "They're inside you, when you're feeling" "Small and scared and just..." "So...disappointed in yourself."

"So, walter, how's the bank business?" "Got any new federal regulators" "Breathing down your throat this week?" "No, henry," "We are quite squeaky clean." "Oh, so I should give you guys my money?" "Well, henry, considering that" "At the present moment in time" "Cash is king" "I want that gravy." "No, it's terrible." "'Cause it's joanne's, not hers." "I was talking here." "Ah-choo!" "Bless you." "When you say cash is king, what's that mean?" "Cash is the fossil fuel that" "Keeps our economic pistons pumping." "Who wants a leg?" "You a leg man?" "No, no, no." "He wants" "Lean white meat from our turkey." "Never mind a leg." "Here, have a wing." "That's an actual replication" "Of an actual captain's wings." "Every year you give me wings." "Then why ain't you wearing them," "You little ingrate?" "Dad," "Don't." "Don't, dad." "It's a joke." "The kid knows it's a joke." "Yeah, but joanne doesn't." "Is that my fault?" "Hey, caveman." "Aah!" "Whoo!" "That's what we need" "People making things, buying things." "Buying, making." "Please sit down." "Give me a kiss." "Thank you." "We just get loaded down with all this stuff" "That we don't need." "We get fat, like, uh," "Human cholesterol or something." "Is that my fault, too?" "What?" "What are you saying?" "Human cholesterol stuck in the system, right?" "Big gobs of human fat" "Choking the economy." "Too much stuff, yeah." "What?" "Where?" "Everywhere." "We carry around all this excess baggage." "Exactly." "What's wrong with this guy?" "You bet your ass." "Cholesterol," "That's what I got." "That's all this bozo in the white house is up to." "No politics on thanksgiving." "What walter was trying to say," "Mr. Fish, is that cash is king" "The point I was making," "If I might make my own point," "Is that it is high time" "All banks got back to some" "Rock-solid loan fundamentals again," "For heaven's sakes!" "Easy, walter, easy." "Don't let" "No, claudia." "Enough already." "For heaven's sakes," "It's high time we all did." "Get back." "Oh, your pills, dad, the ones with food." "The high pressure ones in your pocket." "What pills?" "How can I forget them?" "If I forget them," "Your mother reminds me." "I don't mean anything political." "You eat too much." "He eats all day long." "We're america." "I open the cabinets, and there it is." "You're paying for it." "Eat what you want." "Don't encourage them." "Oh, excuse me, ms." "Siddhartha." "Don't comment on things you don't understand." "Don't start with me, because you'll lose." "I said common sense, damn it." "Nobody makes sense anymore." "Nothing makes sense anymore." "Right!" "Not even this goddamn bird." "Did you spot weld this, mom?" "Oh." "Ha ha ha ha!" "Ha ha ha ha!" "You cocksucker!" "Mommy!" "Walter: sit down!" "Baking soda." "Baking soda." "You goddamn bastard!" "You ruined my mommy!" "Get it off me!" "You goddamn bastard!" "Get it out of her lap." "Ok, ok careful." "Aah!" "Oh, shit." "Honey, it's ok." "Look at my tie." "Joanne, look at your father's tie." "It's useless." "I know how you feel." "You don't know how I feel," "And, in my opinion, you don't even care." "Opinions are like assholes, honey." "Everybody's got one" "And everybody thinks everybody else's stinks." "Henry, for christ sakes!" "This has been a complete holiday nightmare!" "I have to go." "Oh, god, joanne, nice drama queen energy." "Can you just set it down" "So it gets better for once instead of worse?" "You're calling me a drama queen, mr." "Pervert?" "Ahem." "Dad, put the camera down." "Right now." "Ha ha ha ha ha." "Mom, dad, wait, wait, wait." "Try to think back like a hundred years ago" "I'm dead serious" "Back when you guys came back from the hospital with joanne." "Tommy." "Now, she was just a tiny little baby, right?" "So anything could happen." "Is it possible there" "Was a baboon family in the hospital" "And that there was a mix-up?" "And maybe you got the wrong one?" "'Cause I'm not kidding about this." "You little sleazy..." "Aw, gee." "Claudia, it's not even worth it." "No, you're--you're calling me a freak?" "No, I'm calling you a product of baboon lovin'." "There's a distinction." "Joanne." "No, don't muzzle me!" "We both know I am the only normal person here!" "I am!" "I know." "I just" "Your secret's safe with us, cheetah." "My secret?" "Oh, that's great." "Let's talk about secrets, huh?" "Congratulations, honey." "May you and your husband live happily ever after," "Mrs. Gordon, or whatever you call yourself now," "Or he does." "Did you wear a dress?" "Did you wear a white veil or a blue garter belt?" "What are you talking about?" "You make as much sense" "No shit." "You and jack?" "Yeah." "When?" "3 Months ago." "When what?" "What?" "We'll talk about it later, ok?" "Yeah, now's not the time." "Where?" "On a public beach." "All his darling little friends were prancing around" "Like idiots and falling all over each other." "He kissed him on the lips, right in front of..." "Oh, I could throw up." "Mommy, I'm too bored." "I have to go home." "Tommy." "What?" "Did you wear a dress?" "No." "Sorry." "You know, I have friends in boston, tommy." "Did you ever think of that?" "You know there's other people in this world," "People who tell people." "I mean, how embarrassing." "Dessert looks pretty good." "You thought that I was" "I forgot to tell her." "That tommy and I were" "Yeah, ok?" "Yeah." "It's ok, honey." "Come on." "Hmm?" "Just sit down, joanne." "So, claudia," "We haven't heard a peep from you." "How's your glamorous life?" "Hee hee." "My glamorous life..." "My life." "My little life." "Tommy?" "Your glamorous life?" "Hit me." "It's all right?" "The glamorous part." "Well, she was just fabulously fired from her job." "You know plenty." "I check my messages." "Shall I continue?" "Oh, yeah." "All right, well," "Uh, niece kitty is probably, definitely" "Losing her virginity" "And perhaps getting pregnant simultaneously" "This very as-we-speak-end." "Kind of like, well, uh, like" "Kind of like her mom." "Like her mom." "And that is pretty much it for her glamorous life." "No, uh-uh, 'cause, uh, the boss thing." "Oh, my god, that's right." "She was also making out with her 60-year-old boss." "Why did you do that?" "Just 'cause." "Just for scuzz." "Nobody tells me anything around here."

"I just acted like I was 2." "Ok, the rest of us, we'll just sit here" "In the dark" "And keep each other company." "Right, glady?" "Company." "What else is there?" "Mommy, where are you, please?" "Shut the door." "Are you ok?" "You look" "You look ok." "It's all relative." "Nobody means what they say on thanksgiving, mom." "You know that." "It's what the day's supposed to be all about, right?" "Torture." "That and giving thanks that we don't have to" "Go through this for another year," "Except we do, 'cause those bastards" "Went and put christmas right in the middle," "Just to punish us."

"I thought I'd cut some holes in the canvas" "So as to relieve the pressure." "My dad." "Yeah, but big deal." "What's it gonna be next week?" "[Knock on door]" "What is this," "A couple of women on the verge of a nervous breakdown?" "I hope you're happy, thomas," "I hope it was a nice wedding," "And I hope one of these years," "You'll send your poor devastated mother some pictures." "We didn't take any pictures." "Then don't send me any pictures." "Who would I show them to anyway?" "How do you even know it happened?" "'Cause I was there, jack was there." "It happened, ok?" "It had nothing to do with you." "Tell me that's all right." "If only my children were happy." "Mom, stop." "We're not unhappy!" "You are so unhappy." "You didn't do anything wrong." "Wait, wait, wait!" "What, what, what?" "Enough!" "You're a pain in my ass, you have bad hair," "But I like you a lot." "Well, you know me." "I can't change." "Believe me..." "Neither can I, ma." "Even as a little boy..."
