"Susan!" "Victoria!" "Hi!" "Good morning!" "Good morning!" "Come on." "Stand, Susan." "Stand, Susan." "Stand." "Step, it's right here." "Step." "Okay." "I'll give you eh, three, four minutes in there." "Good job, my Susan!" "Okay." "And slowly... no,no,lhaven% let you go." "See, I'm right here." "I'm right here." "Right here." "Okay, Susan miracle..." "Hey, hey, okay." "Here we are." "Fred, come and eat." "Eat, eat, eat." "Eats." "Eats." "Okay." "Mr. Avidma." "Good morning, Susan!" "Whoop dee doo!" "Yes." "Fred, sit." "Queen Victoria." "Yeah man." " Thank you!" " You're welcome!" "Did you sleep well?" "Did you dream?" "Oh, yes." "Yes, yes." "What did you dream?" "That I was going upstairs." "Very good!" "Let me hear you say the line," ""but wait there's more."" ""But wait there's more."" "Far too realistic." "Far too genuine." "You've got to make it totally phony." "TW again." ""But wait, there's more!"" "What do I do when Fred starts talking about his dead cat?" "Well, you... you play it by ear that's all." "Play it by ear." "You remind him very nicely that it's dead, or not." "I mean, as soon as it's alive it's just... it's just going to forget it's dead again." "How much Nova did you get?" "Pickles and lox killed more Jews than Hitler, we'll be fine." "Can I listen to music or something?" "Sure, 10 minutes." "Did you hear me say 10 minutes?" "Yeah, sure, whatever." "When he's up there by himself we have no idea what medication he's taking, how much." "I'm sure he's been taking her medication." "I mean, Victoria is just a nurse's aide." "He's the one who's responsible for physically giving her medicine and then he has to take his." "I agree, it's totally nuts." "I forgot the cream cheese." "Oh, don't even worry about it." "I'm sure I'm going to have to make a supermarket run." "I mean, he tries to go to the store himself, he forgets what he's supposed to pick up." "It's insane that he's even driving, if you ask me." "I know." "Listen, did you get the three everythings?" "Yes." "You know, he hasn't even paid his taxes yet?" "You're kidding me!" "That's unbelievable!" "This has got to stop." "This has got to stop on this trip." "That's the end." "Lila, come on!" "Hi dad!" "Robert, hi!" " Captain!" " Grandpa!" " How are you?" " I'm good!" "Oh, you're so grown up for your age." "Thanks!" "Everyone in my school is." "Hi!" "How are you doing, dad?" "Oh, I love you!" "I'm going to go see where Susan is." " Hello!" " Hi!" "Hi!" "Nice to see you too!" "Did you bring a book with you?" "Yeah." "Hi mom!" "Hi!" "Oh, it's okay." "It's just me." "It's Carol." "Hi!" "You're having a good rest?" "Do you want anything, something to drink, refreshment?" "I'll have water." "Water?" "Okay, good!" " Nothing for me, thanks." " Nothing for you?" "Okay." "Do you remember?" "You're not sure?" "Hmm." "You don't know." "Hey, look who's here." "Lila came." "You think you had saltines?" " No." " No." "Okay, all right!" "That's all right." "Look, I'm going to be right back, okay?" " You rest some more." " Okay." "I love you!" "Hi!" "Victoria!" "Can you come in here a moment?" "Yes, Ms.?" "Did my parents get saltines today?" "Yes, I gave them this morning." "Well, ljust want to make sure it's clear that the reason Susan takes saltines is to keep her blood pressure up so..." "I..." "I know you're the one who told me." "I know, but it seems like we're almost out." "Umm, okay." "You know, Fred, sometimes he forgets to do the shopping." "And I..." "I refused, I told them I wouldn't," "I'm not going to drive that car." "No,no,no,no, you're totally right." "I'm so sorry." "You know what I think we're going to do, and then I'm going to go shopping right now." "Okay, Captain!" "Okay." "I told her not to use the front door." "She keeps doing that." "So... sojust tell me what happened?" "So Susan, you know, she went unconscious again, so I called the ambulance and I..." "I had to get in with her and I waited until she was admitted." "Sure!" "And... and then when I came home," "I saw that your father here just collapsed on the ground and he couldn't get up." "You know, I'm sorry I don't know how long that he was there and I can't be in both places at the same time." "No,no,no." "Captain!" "I'm in the barn!" "Coming!" "Hey!" "Huh?" "Come here, sweetie." " Hey mom!" " Listen," "I want you to remember that" "Fred doesn't like people going out the front door, right, huh?" "Okay." "What were you doing in the barn?" "Me and Gran Susan used to have tea there." "I haven't heard you call her Gran Susan in a long time." "What's that?" "It's an emerald frog." "It's from when we used to have tea." "Hey, you know, umm," "I want you to hold on to this and you show this to Gran Susan, okay, a little later on?" "And then when it's done you give that right back to me" "I've got to put it back where it went, okay?" "Right now I'm going to the store." "You come with me please." "Go close the barn, do it first though." "You know, Fred, I've been thinking about this time before Carol and... was born, you left grandma here to take care of me in the house." "And I went away to play with a friend at his house or something like that and I came back and grandma must have gone out to go shopping because there was nobody here and the door was locked and I couldn't get in the house." "But grandma had left me a note." "I found it on the door and it said, the schlizzle is in the hunschdizzle." "I didn't know what the hell it was talking about." "The schlizzle is in the hunschdizzle." "And then I realized hunschdizzle meant dog dish." "So I looked down in the dog dish and there was the key." "So I figured it out." "The schlizzle is in the hunschdizzle is the key is in the dog dish." "Dad?" "So I understand you put in a new oil tank." "It's in the basement." "The old one was outside." "I'm amazed they were able to get the thing down the stairs." "What did it cost you?" "Too much." "You have to do it, right?" "By the way, I noticed while we were driving up looks like it can really use some new paint." "I got a guy who's cheaper than the Mexicans and he cuts the lawn." "Wow, cheaper than the Mexicans." "I'm not being racist, I'm being realistic." "So how's the movie business?" "That's, uh, not so realistic." "It's very different than I thought it was going to be." "I mean, it's all about the small screen now, you know, downloads and all that kind of thing." "Well, how did the movie about the clown do?" "Not so well." "People didn't find it funny." "I thought that was the point." "You're right, that was the point, but when people download something about a clown, they have a certain expectation it's going to be hilarious." "It was during prohibition and my father was making wine in the cellar." "So a cop was walking by and he saw this large amount of grapes." "Walked to my father and said, hey, Bub, what are all those grapes for?" "My father pointed to me and my brother and he said, my kids love them." "And he believed it." "Because it was true." "I mean, you still do love the grapes, right?" "But I guess it was also a lie at the same time." "So what?" "That's show business." "Bob, sometimes you remind me of Yogi Berra, you know." "Someone once asked him what time it was and he said, you mean now?" "You know, I saw your old tennis playing buddy" "Steven the other day." "Still plays very well." "Fuck him." "Dad, don't you think it would be better if you got some kind of regular exercise?" "I mean, you know, therapeutic exercise?" "All that stuff would be..." "would be so easy." "Oh, is it time for our vodka?" "Vodka!" "Not yet." "Put her on the couch." "Okay." "Okay, Susan." "She can stand." "Hold me." "Okay." "Stand Susan." "Susan, stand." "Okay." "Let her walk." "Okay." " One step." " She can walk." "No Fred, she cannot." "I got her." "I got her." " Put her on the couch." " Okay." "I got you mom." "Slow." "Okay, okay, great." "You look good mom." "Oh yes." "Yeah." "I'm alive." "Well, that's..." "that's good!" "Listen, umm, do you remember when you went to Goucher College, remember how you used to live in a dorm there?" "Well, that's what it's going to be like again." "You're going to be living in a situation very much like a dorm." "I mean, back in those days when you guys got married, you didn't get a chance to finish, but now you're going to have an opportunity to really finish things." "It's going to be great." "Sounds good!" "It is." "It really is good." "I mean, you'll be close to me." "You'll be close to Carol." "It's going to be really good." "You'll see." "How is Aris?" "Oh, Aris is doing good!" "Both boys are great." "Jess had some sort of a bug, but she's more or less over it." "Okay." "Come on, drink." "Yes." "I want to thank you." "Drink, drink, drink." "UP, UP, up you go." "Drink." "Come on." "A little bit of juice, little bit." "Drink, drink." "Swallow." "My dear, swallow." "Hey, what do you think about Susan living near us?" "I like that." " Yeah?" " Yeah." "But Fred, he's going to... he's going to stay where he is for now." "Why isn't he going to move with Susan?" "Well, ljust think he wants to stay out here" "I mean, he's lived here a really long time and I..." "I just don't think he's ready to leave yet." "You know, eventually he's going to miss Susan a lot so he'll probably move down to the city and he can even live in the same building as her." "That's pretty cool, right?" "Yeah, yeah, I think it's going to work out really well." "Dad, this is the best possible situation." "Mom is going to be able to get the care she needs." "You can be with her two floors below." "You can go to the office every single day if you want." "And listen, if you're not happy, you can leave." "I'm not going to make you stay there if you don't like it." "I'm too old." "Could you get me another vodka please?" "Bottled or tap?" "Tap, it's all we got." "Hi sweetie!" "The Captain is here with her mom and Robert." "Oh, she's fine." "Oh, yes, she's fine." "Hold on." "I'll give her to you." "Here, take the phone." "Hold the phone, Susan." "Susan, hold the phone." "Hold the phone!" " Fred!" " Calm down, dad!" "Give me that!" "Sit down." "I said sit down." "Don't treat someone that way." "Hold on." "Hideaﬂ" "Oh, I don't... umm," "me too." "You put it right on the table." "Right there?" "Oh, my shoes are untied." " Hello!" " Hi!" "Are there anymore bags in the car?" "Oh yeah, just one." "You know what, let me get it though, because I have no idea how this kitchen is organized anymore, so." "Okay." "I'll be right back." "Hey Susan!" "Do you remember this?" "That's okay." "Carol, did you get cream cheese?" " Yes" " I love you" "You want it across the board on toasted sesame, Fred?" "Sure!" "How about you, Susan?" "Whoop dee do!" "Two across the board on toasted sesame for the youngsters;" "I'm going to make a salad." "I want pie é la Mode." "Aha, not until after you finish lunch." "Okay." "So what are you guys doing for the summer?" "Actually, so far me and Jess have made zero plans for the summer." "How about you and Patrick?" "What can I do?" "If you don't mind, the ones that grandpa likes, the big ones." "You know, we are probably going to end up just staying in the city." "Well, that can be really nice." "I mean, the summertime is really quiet and you really get to know people." "It's different." "Well, you make it sound so appealing." "Oh, I'm sincere about it, it can be very nice." "By the way, how late are you planning to stay?" "I mean, I can always take a train" "I'm sure we're all going to leave around the same time;" "definitely before dinner though." "Of being able to avoid Maestro if possible, but if I can't, I guess I can't." "Victoria, would you mind getting me some cream cheese from the fridge?" "Okay." "Ouch!" "Jesus, that's hot." "That oil tank is the bomb, man." "Yeah, you have to finish help making lunch though." "I just want to see it, then I'll come help." "All right!" "Uh, you're going to help clean up afterwards?" "Yeah." "But be careful there's a lot of stuff down there." "Okay." "Umm, listen," "I think maybe we ought to consider packing up a lot of mom's stuff today so that Tuesday is not a big ordeal, you know what I mean?" "It's not going to be a big ordeal." "I'm just going to take the necessary things." "Really, I'd rather just wait till Tuesday." "All right!" "Hey, how did it go with Fred?" "Fantastic!" "Victoria, do we have a peeler anywhere?" "Yeah." "Hold on, I'll get it." "All right!" "Thank you!" "How do you like the salad, Fred?" "Very good!" " It's great!" " Thank you!" "Pick it up." "Pick it up." "Pick it up." "Hey, you can finish your lunch you can have that pie é la Mode." " Great!" " Uh-huh." "When do we hear about the schools for the Captain?" "She's going to Horace Riverston next year." "She got a scholarship." " That's great!" " Congratulations!" " Wow, fantastic!" " Than ks!" "That's so wonderful!" "I'm so proud of her." "I'm proud!" "Oh, you know, well, your dad and I are talking about that one." "My life depends on it." "Susan, you're going to be seeing a lot more of us" "You're going to get to see us all the time." "Will live in the same building as you, just two floors below." " It's going to be wonderful!" " I'm not going." "Oh!" "Dad, you've got to at least try." "I'm not going without Ginger." "Where's Ginger?" "Did you see Ginger?" "I'm not going anyplace they don't allow pussy." "Grant me strength, idiot!" "Oh, I think I know who's here." "Maestro's here!" "Okay." "Listen, I promise, I promise, I'm going to be nice." "Okay, if you say so." " How are you?" " Maestro's here." "I'm okay." " Hey Bob!" " Hi Carol!" " How are you doing?" " How are you?" "It's good to see you." "Nice to see you!" "Did you guys have lunch yet?" "Yeah." "I've got a special treat" "I'm making, you might want to sit down." "You know, Susan is resting in the other room today so can you come and do the music session there?" "We'll just pull my keyboard into the room and..." "Move it in." " Lila, you'll help me, right?" " Yeah." "Okay." "Do you mind going to the fridge and get me the... like the nova, the cream cheese, maybe some vegetables." "You know, we don't have any left." "Sure, there is." "There was a lot left." "I'm going to make Bob's Bagel." "No, I told you, there's nothing." "What happened to the Everything Bagel?" " Hi e"eFYbodyl" " Bob!" "'" " How are you?" " Good to see you!" "Oh, you can just take that stuff straight through" "We'll be there in a minute." "I got it." "Listen, Carol, just because you happened to be a psychotherapist doesn't mean you see the dark recesses of everybody's hearts or their stomachs either." "This has nothing to do with me being a psychotherapist." "You asked if I had brought three Everything Bagels." "I think you had a personal interest in those." "That's exactly my point, if I wanted to have all three would I draw attention to it like that in the car?" "Yeah, I think you would." "I like Bob." "I want to give him something special." "He has a personal relationship with mom." "I'd like to give him a gift." "Come on, he works for us." "He's in our employ." "He doesn't need a gift basket every time he comes to our house." "I'm not giving him a gift basket." "I'm giving him an Everything Bagel." "He's an artist." "Awonderful, wonderful artist!" "Pretty soon he and I are going to be working together." "He's going to be ticking out Hava Nagila at a bar mitzvah and I'll be committing the whole thing to eternal video;" "And anyway, the two of you would work horribly together." "What have you got against Bob?" "I'm Bob." "There can only be one Bob." "And speaking ontologically, there can only be one everything." "Not three everythings, not two." "There can only be one everything in the end." "Now, there are no everythings, so why don't you go in there and at least help him." "I certainly would be delighted to help that wonderful artist." "What am I going to do now?" "You know Susan, you are my favorite student and I promise you we'll sing all of your favorite songs today." "How are you feeling, mom?" "Ah, listen, Maestro, is there anything that I could do to, you know, help?" "You want to help?" "Yes, I want to help." "Okay." "Well, I'm setting the chairs up around Susan here so why don't you help me finish with these chairs?" "Sure!" " Hey Bob!" " Yeah?" "Hey Bob!" "I'm so sorry, it seems that all three" "Everything Bagels have disappeared." "All three of them." "That's too bad." "I, umm..." "I could give you some carrots." "Oh no, thanks, I'll pass." "Sorry dad." "Listen, do you think maybe we could get..." "We could get Victoria in here" "No, let Victoria please finish cleaning up in the kitchen." "I want Victoria to sing with us." "Okay, go get her." "Go get her." "Victoria!" "Can you sing with us?" "Here we go." "Okay, come sit over here, sweetie." " Good!" "Can you sit next to me?" " You can sit by Fred." "Go ahead, sweetie." "Thank you!" "And come sit over here between me and Fred." "Lila, would you do me a favor?" "Listen, just for my own information, just for my own sort of understanding of things, this whole thing is really kind of for mom's benefit, right, is it really necessary that all of us have to get together" "and do the whole singing bit?" "Come on!" "It will be fun." "We go over this every week." "It will be fun." "You know something, if you really want to help your mother, everybody enjoying this together is extremely helpful." "All right, fine." "I'm sorry." "I apologize." "Go ahead." "Go ahead." "All right!" "Susan, why don't we start with our very favorite tune?" "Everybody!" "I'm sorry, this is just depressing." "I'm just going to kill myself." "I cannot take this." "It's not that bad." "I'm sorry." "I'm..." "I'm sorry." "Oh, come on, come on." "Look, look, I've got a beat for you." "Here we go." "Great!" "Great!" "All right, let's hear it fellows." "Who remember Silvery Moon?" " Oh." " Oh, Silvery Moon." "Come on." " Silvery Moon." " What's that smell?" "Silvery Moon." "With a spoon, yeah." "Here we go." "Here we go again." " Very nice!" " Beautiful!" "Very nice!" "Okay." "What happened to the painting of the horse?" "Umm, Fred gave it to a museum." "VVhy?" "Well, it made him feel like a very wealthy, important person." "Is he wealthy?" "No." "And when she's happy it makes it much better for all of us." " I used to..." " Thank you!" "Thank you, Fred!" "I used to be involved in a way with the music business." "I made boxes and at the time when there were record albums, we would manufacture and produce the sleeves, the jackets that the albums would go in;" "Broadway shows and different artists and all kinds of things." "So we really love music." "You know, there was something so romantic about going into a record store and seeing those big boxes all lined up on the shelves." "I couldn't wait to find my most favorite new artist and bring that..." "that record home, take the packaging off, smell it, read everything, even before I listened to the music, it was such a big deal to myself and all of my friends growing up." "Oh, I didn't know that people smelled it." "I used to like to smell books." "Well, you know, it's like those mimeograph smells from school." "We all thought it..." "it just meant something to have such a great new record and... and every bit of the sensation attached to it was important to us." "We used to listen to Glenn Miller and Bing Crosby." "Oh, Susan loved Bing Crosby." "I had an album of... for Dumbo, the movie Dumbo, and each side of each record at that time was a different song, you know, it was great." "I never saw an elephant fly, and oh my goodness, and Pinocchio also was really great, great music, so." "In a little way I was a part of the music business, as far as the packaging of it." " Hey Bob!" " Yeah." "Can you come on in here for a sec;" "I'd just like to talk to you?" "Okay." "I guess it's going to rain anyway." "Are you sure?" "I think it's clearing." "Come on." "Okay." "Look, I knowl haven't been entirely what you might call supportive of the whole music therapy thing." "Well, the thing is I see that it has been good for them." "I mean, it has really made a difference." "I want to thank you for that." "The thing that I didn't get to tell you before was next Tuesday my mother is going into a facility in the city." "So like all good things" "I'm afraid music therapy is going to come to an end." "Oh, that's such a shame." "Well, you know, at least I can still come once a week, because there's still Fred to work with," "Yeah, I know, I could see that he really enjoys it." "But the thing is the following week" "Fred is also going into the same facility." "You know, he didn't say a word to me about this, are you sure, becauseifs"." "Well, he may not yet understand it fully, he will definitely be going into the same place." "Ijust had a 10-minute conversation with him, we talked about music" "Bob, you've got to trust me on this one." "It's my company's checks that pay for you and that pay for Victoria and all the support they get." "He definitely is moving to that same facility two floors below her a week after she goes in." "You've got to believe me." "Actually, you know something, because I do a lot of work in these facilities, it's just a keyboard and a stand." "I'll just bring it into the facility." "Well, I'm not sure what the facility's policies are about that sort of thing," "It's... it's done all the time." " Is it?" " I assure you." "Well, I'll certainly be happy to research it and give you the answer." "We could certainly give it a try." "Okay, all right!" "Fair enough." "In the meantime, ljust wanted to give you this, just sort of a little thank you." "Butjust to say our extra thanks." " Thanks!" " My pleasure!" "Oh, by the way," "I downloaded ten minutes of the film of yours the other day on my cellphone." "No kidding!" "Which one?" "It's that clown thing." "That's a comedy, I think, right?" "Well, thank you for everything!" "I appreciate it!" "Okay." "Think about what I said, okay?" "I sure will." "Okay." "Hava Nagila Hava Nagila Hava..." "So how did he take it?" "Well, it wasn't great, but he will be all right." "I need ajump." "Ajump?" "Ajump." "That guy shows up one more time" "I'm going to have to put a stake through his heart." "Hey, isn't this where mom's frog pond used to be?" "Oh yeah." "I guess they covered it over after mom got sick." "You know, it used to be just a fountain and then this frog showed up." "I wonder if mom kissed it." "I mean, that's how she met Fred." "Come on." "Let's go get Susan." "Nice night, huh?" "Here you go." " Captain?" " Yeah?" " Want to play catch?" " Yeah." " Go ahead." " Okay." "Wait for me." "Do I have to?" "Dad, can I get you something?" "No." "You want to go outside;" "I can get your cane?" "I don't use a cane." "All right!" "Do you want to go outside?" "Fred, have you paid your taxes yet?" "No." "VVhy?" "I don't owe anything." "Nice!" "I got it!" "I got it with one hand." "What?" "Come on, throw the ball." "Look, come here, let show you something." "See those two trees?" "Yeah." "You know who Zeus and Hermes were, right?" "They were Greek Gods." "That's right." "Back in the olden days Zeus and Hermes heard weren't acting the way they wanted them to." "They weren't being nice and friendly to the others." "They weren't acting with what the Greeks called xenia, which means like hospitality." "So they decided to check it out themselves." "So they got dressed up in costumes and pretended to be ordinary people." "So they went walking around among the Greeks trying to find somebody who would be nice to them who would let them stay at their house for the night." "They couldn't find anybody to do that." "And finally they found this one poor old couple." "They were called Philemon and Baucis." "Would let them stay over at their house." "In the morning Zeus and Hermes were so happy they told Philemon and Baucis they could have one wish." "What did they wish for?" "They wished that they would die together at the same time so that neither one would have to go on without the other." "You know what the Gods did?" "They turned them into two big oak trees standing together, just like that." "They went on like that forever." "So what really happens after you die?" "You and me and mommy and grandma and grandpa but, uh, I don't know." "Look after grandma." "I'm going to get some stuff, all right?" "All right!" "You don't mind if I leave you in Lila's care for a minute, do you?" "Okay." "Captain!" "Over here!" "We gotta motor!" "It's time to say goodbye." "Coming!" "Come on!" "Fred, are you okay?" "Yeah." "Are you okay?" "Is everything all right?" "Stop bothering me." "Good morning, Fred!" "Good morning!" "Hold on, let me get that coffee for you!" "No, no, no, I'll get it." "No, I got it." "Just sit." "You know, your son and daughter, Carol, Bob, they're coming today?" "Are they bringing the boys and the Captain with them?" "No, they're coming to help you pack up your things and, you know, move you into the city." "Why am I going to the city?" "You agreed that it was for the best." "Best for what?" "For you." "I wouldn't ever speculate about the future, not when it has to do with where I'm going to live." "That wouldn't make sense, would it?" "Yes, but you agreed." "Well, who would be here when Susan gets back?" "Fred, you know they love you, right?" "I love them." "I know that you do, Fred." "How's your husband?" "He's fine." "How did Ghana do?" "They lost." "I'm sorry." "Was it a close game?" "You know what, I don't want to talk about that." "I know how you feel." "Really?" "Yes, I think I do, Queen Victoria." "You know, you really should be with Susan." "She doesn't even know who I am anymore." "Yes, but if she sees you then she'll know who you are." "In this I think that your children are right." "You know, Carol, she told me this story about you." "She told me that when they were younger you used to take the three of them into town on Saturdays to the supermarket." " She told you?" " Yeah." "I mean, who else would tell me?" "She said that, uh, you did it to give, uh, Susan a break." " She remembered?" " Uh-huh." "You see, that's what I'm saying, your children, they love you." "That's very sweet." "Uh-huh." "Hi dad!" "Hello Robert!" "Well, time to get ready to go." "We came today so we could help you decide whatever it is you want to take so you can be, you know, comfortable in the new place." "Didn't you bring the boys or the Captain?" "No, we didn't think the, uh, the timing was right for that." "I'm not going." "Dad, look, nobody is saying you have to go today, all right?" "I'd like you to try and think of us as your family/image consultants." "In other words, we're going to help you decide what of your possessions you want to take with you so that you can keep the same sort of, uh, public persona you've always had there when you" "when you... when you're in your new place." "Nobody is saying you have to leave today, but the thing is you have to understand that in two days, you really do have to get ready to go." "Once I shared space with a public relations firm, they were sort of sleazy characters and they did quite a bit of business with prostitutes." "They offered me a key." "The government shut them down for not paying their taxes." "This is condescending bullshit!" "Always, dad, will you listen?" " Bob!" " Same bullshit again and again" "I want you to take a break, okay?" "Drive into town, go do some shopping, come back in like a half hour." "You know what?" "You are a stubborn old man." "You're getting like a child." "No, I'm serious." "You have to deal with what is." "I'm sorry." "I'm just getting tired of this." "These are all yours." "No, just go." "All right!" "Okay." "Excuse me." "Don't use the front door." "The melon is sweet." "Dad, I... you know, I can really understand why why you want to stay here." "Freddie, you know you could, uh, you can always get me back." "There is no everything, just this place, and I want to stay here." "Yeah, I know, I know, but why don't you just give this other thing a try?" "So Oedipus was very depressed and his friends said, Oedipus, you need a vacation, why don't you go to New York, see a few plays, relax?" "So Oedipus flew to New York and he got a cab, and the impatient cab driver turned to Oedipus and said, where do you want to go, motherfucker?" "I need a vodka." "Fred" "Susan is not coming back." "Her Alzheimer's is getting worse she just needs more care than she can get here." "Now, you can... you can live right near her and you can see her everyday and we'll both come and see you too, us, the boys, the Captain." "Jim!" " Bob!" " Yeah." "I've got the whole Wolfman Jack thing going on." "I'm doing good!" "Thanks." "How about you?" "Gee, you look great." "How often do you run?" "Two times a week;" "three." "What do you do?" "Well, I get the urge to workout every so often," "I like to lie down till it passes." "You know, I hear about you all the time, you're like a big success story around here." "Since I gave my life to Jesus." "That's great!" "Well, you must still work pretty hard, right?" "I still have time to volunteer at the animal shelter on the weekends." "No kidding!" "How's your family, your mom and dad still around?" "Yeah, thanks for asking." "They're doing well." "They're retired." "They live up in Nantucket." "They love it." "Hey, how's your folks?" "I run by their house every once in a while." "I haven't seen them for a while." "Your dad is such a force of nature." "Yeah, he certainly is." "Well, they're doing okay." "They're hanging in." "Oh, that's great!" "How's the film business?" "The film business is very interesting." "It's always changing and evolving." "It's taken sort of a turn towards the Internet now." "That must be so exciting." "Yeah, exciting is, uh, is exactly what it is." "You really should think of working out, you know, get the endorphins going." "Listen, I've got to keep my heart rate up." "Good to see you!" "Great to see you!" "Give my regards to Jim Jones." "Remember the swing that used to be here?" "Yeah, that was fun, huh?" "Oh my God!" "Great!" "Yeah, yeah, he agreed to leave this Tuesday." "That's great!" "He's just going to forget that he agreed to it." "He would sit there and zip his tap water vodka and again not want to go, or if he does go, he's going to want to return." "Listen you don't mind if I take the car, right," "I have sort of an idea?" "No, where are you going?" "It won't take long." "I'll be right back." "Carol?" "Victoria?" "Can I see outside for a sec." "Don't use the front door." "What's up?" "What is that?" "A ginger cat, freshly plucked from the animal shelter." "Yeah, but it's not Ginger, it's another fucking red cat." "Bob, you're crazy." "I mean, he'll know." "I think you've really gone crazy this time." "Listen, your father, he's not a well man." "You cannot play these kinds of games on him." "I'm not playing any games." "What do you guys trust me, please?" "One Time!" "But what is this supposed to do?" "What is this going to do?" "Here we go, sweetie." "Come on , come on." "L90tyou." "Just give me one minute, all right." "Hey Fred, look who I found?" "Ginger!" "Yeah." "I was in the back looking at the two old trees and I see this little orange ball way up at the top." "And I tried waving, but I guess she didn't recognize me, so I climbed up the tree, and I guess then she knew me, because she came down into my arms and here we are to tell the tale." "Hey guys!" "How is it going?" "Robert found Ginger." "Watch out!" "Come here, kitty, kitty, kitty." "Ginger!" "He's not going to answer to Ginger." "Why not?" "Here kitty." "Where did you go?"
