"What are you doing here?" "I'm making a cd for Mom." "Well, who said you could use my burner?" "I asked you a million times to do this." "And I want to give it to her today." "I was gonna do it." " Are you gonna visit her today?" " I don't like hospitals." "So what?" "Nobody liked them." "What kind of excuse is that?" "OK, just give me your list and I'll do it." "Almost done." "I don't want you coming in here without asking me." "Do I go in your room without asking you?" "I'm already on hold." "I'm supposed to get pre-authorization for Karen to go to hospital when she's already in the hospital." " She's already had surgery." " Can't you say it was an emergency?" "Yes, if you can get somebody on the phone." "So, is Karen still on your insurance?" "No, she's on her own." "Jessie, we gotta go!" "You guys ready?" "Almost." "Here, start the car." " Come on, Zoe." " Almost ready." "Shotgun!" "I call shotgun!" "Morning." "Hey, you're... ready?" "I thought I should go to the hospital." "You've missed so many days of school already." "You can go later." "One more day is not gonna hurt." "I don't like leaving Mom there all alone." "You know Mom wants you back at school." "Fine." "Jessie, how about if I meet you here at four thirty and take you over?" "Four thirty is too late." "Eli, you can pick me up at school, right?" "I don't know, the car's acting funny." "I was thinking about taking it in." "Are you ever planning to visit Mom?" "Why don't you meet me here at four, both of you, and I'll take you." "That's a great idea." "Jess?" "Fine." "I don't remember it happening exactly." "I only remember what I was thinking right before it happened." "Is this the right room?" "Karen Sammler?" "That's me." "Great, cause I hate when I mix up patients." "It always ends badly." "I wanted the lights off." "Well, I can't see your chart in the dark, can I?" "Reage, great." "You don't want your breakfast?" "I'm not hungry." "You can take it away." "Why would I do that?" "Because I'm not hungry and it's sitting there." "And it smells." "Well, I'll have someone come and grab it then." "OK." "Dr. Ulbrecht sent me over." "I'm Henry, your physical therapist." "I didn't know I had one." "Well, you do." "And it's me." "Hi." "Wow." "Did you get hit by a truck or something?" "OK." "Mind if I take some measurements?" "I'm gonna undo this leg for you." "I don't understand." "How can I have physical therapy?" "I can't even move." "Yeah, that's a problem." "But..." "I..." "I thought I was supposed to have bed rest." "Dr. Ulbrecht was just here." "Are you giving up on me already?" "Let's just do little range of motion exercises for now." "See how far you can move it?" "Please?" "I can't do this right now." "I'm in a lot of pain." "But, Karen?" "You have a long road ahead." "And the sooner we get you started and focused on what you need to do, the easier it'll be." "Trust me." "Just..." "Not today." "OK." "But I'll be back tomorrow." "Great." "For the first time in a long time, I was... thinking..." "Henry?" "Could you turn off the lights?" "Please?" "I was starting to feel like... things could get better." "Hey, Eli." " How are you?" " Pretty good." "How's your mom doing?" "She's OK..." "Actually, I came by to get something to read." "Oh, great, so she's able to read now?" "I'm not sure..." "I just thought..." "Is she eating better?" "I don't really know..." "I've been kind of..." "Sort of busy." "Oh, great!" "So you got another job?" "Not yet." "You know what?" "I actually have a book your mom was asking about that I ordered." "It just came in." "It's just back here." "This place is nice." "I like what you've done with it." "You serve food, too?" "You know, Bookstore Café!" "Let's see." "I saw it somewhere..." "Here!" " Sorry." " It's OK." "There." "Thank you." "I've got to do something about this." "Maybe you could put them on the shelves." "You wouldn't have a couple days free, would you?" "I could really use the help around here." "I could pay you a really crappy wage." "I could use a really crappy wage." "Plus, I've had extensive experience in shelving." "That's good." "So, you wanna come by tomorrow?" " Yeah, I will." " Great." "Even if you just feel sorry for me." "Oh, stop." " Here." " What are you doing?" "Just... tell you mom I said hi." "Eli, are you feeling OK?" "I hate the smell of hospitals." "Why don't you two go ahead?" "I'll sit right here and I'll come down later." "Eli, would you come on?" " Are you high?" " No." "I can't believe you got high to visit Mom." "I'm not." "Shut up." "Your mom's sleepy from her medication." "I just gave it to her." "So, don't worry if she seems out of it." "Hi, Mom." "My babies..." "I brought you a book." "Judy said you wanted this one." "Good." "I love books." "I know." "And I burned you a CD." "And I brought your Walkman." "OK." "Did you eat anything today?" "I think so." "Did the doctor come by?" "Did he say anything?" "Oh, I got an A minus on that science project I was so worried about." "Remember?" "That's nice." "I'm just going to close my eyes for a minute." "I'm so happy you're both here..." "Mom?" " How's she doing?" " She's asleep." "We should've come earlier." "She gets pretty tired." "I think she's out for the night." "Let's go home." "I'm hungry." "I'm gonna stick around for a while." "She might wake up." "Maybe Eli's right, we should let her rest now and come back tomorrow." "I said I'm not leaving." " Jess..." " What?" "!" "Sorry we didn't get here earlier, but maybe you can call later..." "I'm not going anywhere, Lily." "This is my mother." "I'm not gonna leave her." "Lily..." "Hi, Karen, how are you feeling?" "I like those cookies with the vanilla icing." "I'll have your dad come pick you up on his way home from work, OK?" "Come on." "She'll be OK." "I picked up some cookies for your mom." "I wasn't sure which ones she meant, but those have vanilla icing..." "They're the wrong ones." "I'll get the right ones if you tell me what they are." "I just know what they look like." "Why don't we pick some up on the way to school?" "That's OK." "Don't worry about it." "Jessie, I..." "I can't believe..." "I was this close to..." "I almost left my children alone in this world." "OK, that's how we know when to stop." "Let's put it back down." "The swelling is going down, which, I read some place, they say is good, so..." "Stay with me." "What I want you to try and do now, is to bend your knee up towards me." "I'm gonna support it." "It really hurts." "Here we go, OK?" "Bring your knee up, and slide your foot back towards your buttocks." "Now push right back out." "Straighten it out..." "Now bring it right back down to the bed." "Alright, here we go." " How did that feel?" " Wonderful." "That's great!" "Stop it." "You think we can do it one more time?" "Then I promise I'll give you some rest." "Stop it, just please stop it!" "I'll do this, just stop." "What's the problem?" "I can't stand you talking to me like I'm a mental patient." "Let's try it again then, OK?" "Uh, Eli?" " How's it going?" " Pretty good." "Good." "Listen, we have a big food delivery that's sitting out." "You think I could get you to put it away?" "I didn't know I was gonna be doing restaurant stuff." "Well, you are." "That's fine." "I just didn't know." "Great." "So..." "Head on back, Kenny will show you what to do." "Cool." "Look, I know he's a good kid, he's got a log going on, but I think we need somebody here, on the planet Earth." "Jake, he's had extensive shelving experience." "He'll be fine." "You know he'll be fine." "And here." " And where else?" " Just here." "I was gonna forge this for you, but..." "Well, thanks for doing this." "So, you're feeling better?" "That's good." "Because I've been..." "I'm glad you're feeling better." "Because you've been through a lot." "Why do I feel like everyone is suddenly tiptoeing around me?" "I'm not tiptoeing." "I'm trying... to apologize." "For what?" "For... things that may have happened... before." "It's not your responsibility." "Is Eli coming by to see me today?" "Yes, he's..." "The kids are gonna come by later." "He started working at the bookstore today." "He did?" "Yeah, he's gonna help out for a few days." "Well, that's good." "I feel like I haven't seen him." "I can't say that I blame him, though." "Well, he's gonna..." "he'll be here later..." "So, I'll drop those by Arnold's." "Oh, yeah." "These things..." "The blue ones, I should leave." "I'll leave it here for you." "And I'll look for that other claim form." "And my checkbook..." "Yeah, that's right." "I'll see you." "What are you looking for?" "Just one of Karen's insurance forms I forgot." " Maybe it's in this pile." " No, it's not." "I looked already." "OK..." "Here it is." " Are you going back to the office?" " No, I'm going to Karen's." "I gotta pick up her checkbook." "Isn't that something..." "her assistant could do?" "I'm sorry." "I'm sorry." "No, you know, you're right." "Maybe I'm a little more involved than I should be." "Maybe I'm..." "Obsessed?" "Maybe." "It's understandable." "It is?" "I think it's really weird." "I mean..." "Well, yeah, it's a little strange, but God!" "She could have died, Rick." "You had a life together." "Now you're trying to do whatever you can to help." "I still care about her." " Of course you do." " I do." "I know you do." "Rick, you're not betraying me." "I was scared that she was gonna die..." "I know you were." "I don't know why..." "I just thought maybe it wasn't..." "Hey, honey." "Did you have a good day?" "It was OK." "I had a visit from a rabbi and a priest and I started physical therapy." "Are you hungry?" "I brought you the cookies with the vanilla icing" " you were asking for." " I was asking for cookies?" "Yeah, you said, "I like those cookies with the vanilla icing."" "These are the ones, right?" "That's so weird, I don't even remember saying that." "Yeah, well, you were pretty asleep." "I must have been thinking about that little Italian bakery on Sullivan." "They have the most amazing cookies." "Eli knows the place." "Oh." "So, these aren't the right ones?" "No, these look great." "I'll have one later, thank you." "So..." "Where is Eli?" "I thought he was coming with you." "Yeah, he was supposed to pick me up at Rosenfeld's, but..." "I guess something happened, cause..." "I just walked." " He didn't show up?" " It's not that far." " Jess..." " It's only a few blocks." "I don't care." "Next time, please call someone." "OK?" " I mean it." " I will." "Did you eat something?" "No." "I'll have a cookie." "No, go down to the cafeteria." "I've got some money in my wallet." "It's OK." "I have money." "Hi, honey." "Give your mom and me a minute, would you?" "Do you have to go?" "Sorry." " You don't even care at all." " You're supposed to knock." " What's your problem?" " Mom almost died, Eli!" "Does that even phase you?" "How can you be like this?" "Be like what?" "I'm not like anything." "You didn't have to see Mom's face when she realized you weren't coming." "It was just sad." "You being obsessed with being there every minute doesn't mean I have to be." "As if it'll do anything." "I hate you." " Aren't you supposed to be up?" " Yeah, I was." "See?" "Could you get up now?" "I need you to take Jessie to school." "I have to start locking that door." "I thought you were gonna see your mom yesterday." "I was, I just..." "I got caught up at work." "Well, you have to call me if you can't pick Jessie up." "You just have to." "I'm sorry." "I used to..." "I used to be able to trust you with all this kind of stuff." "But I have to tell you, it's getting harder to do." "OK." "I get it." "Alright." "So you'll be ready in 15 minutes to take Jessie?" "Let's consider this idea of manifest destiny." "But let's think of it in terms of what it means today..." "Can anybody find any correlation with what's going on right now?" "Jessie?" "Any thoughts?" "I guess..." "Actually..." "I don't really have any thoughts." "That's OK." "I know you're going through a situation right now." "But people." "Homework is mandatory." "Reread chapter eight tonight." "In addition to nine." "And expect a quiz." "That was so uncalled for." "What's his problem?" "No, I'm an idiot." "You don't need this right now." "Come on." "Let's ditch." "What do you mean?" "Let's take the rest of the day off." "Are you serious?" "What's the difference?" "Really." "In the long run." "Yeah." "Let's just get out of here." "I brought you some..." "sort of snackie things, and these." "You didn't have to do that." "That's so sweet." " Should I just put them down here?" " Sure." "Oh, and by the way, thank you so much for hiring Eli." "I know it's only for a few days, but that was great." "Who knows?" "It could be longer." "It seems to be working out." "When Eli was 16 months-old, he knew about a hundred words and I was convinced he was a genius." "He was my first born." "He was my hero." "And I just couldn't understand when things started to go wrong." "So, how are you feeling?" "I  blamed in on his school, I blamed it on Rick." "I blamed it on myself." "The truth is..." "I just keep thinking that he's gonna turn it all around." "So, are you, like, really into the solar system or something?" "My dad made that." "I feel like I haven't lived in this room forever." "Isn't that weird?" "Do you like this room or the one at your other house better?" "This one is nicer, but I kind of like the other one because it's in the attic, like, away from everything." "It's like an apartment." "Like, a loft or something." "That's what I want." "A big loft." "In London." "I want to live on a ranch." "I could see that." "I could see you living like that." "On a ranch." "With horses." "Of course we wouldn't see each other." "Me in London and you on a ranch somewhere." "You could visit." "So could you." "What are you doing here?" "Your dad asked me to pick up a couple of things for your mom." "I could've done that." "He assumed you were in school." "Is there any reason you're not in school?" "Can I help you with something?" "No thanks, I'm just browsing." "Well, let me know if you need any help." "I'm Eli." "I will." "Eli." " Hey." "What are you doing?" " Straightening up." "There's a big back-up at the coffee bar." "OK, I'll get my apron." "Listen, Eli, let me give you a little advice." "If you're gonna work in a place like this, you need to stay as cognizant as possible." "Be aware of what's going on around you." " At all times." "Can you do that?" " Yeah." "Alright, go get your apron." "What are you doing?" "I'm helping him out with some constructive criticism." " I think you're just being a hard ass." " You been in the men's room lately?" "It smells like pot." "That could be anybody, that could be... clove cigarettes, for all you know." "It's not clove cigarettes." "Kenny?" "Could you tell Eli I want to see him?" "I think he just left." "Are you sure?" "Well, he said, see ya and went out the back door." "We knocked, but you didn't answer." "Look, I'm sorry I skipped school." "It was a really bad day." "I've never done it before and I won't do it again." "If you want to punish me, fine, but I don't feel like talking about it." "I'm sorry, but I think we have to talk about it." "At least a little." "Why?" "Because..." "I know you're mad, why do we need to talk about it?" "Jessie, we're not mad at you." "We know you're going through a lot, it's a confusing time for you..." "You don't know anything." "She's just concerned about you." "Why was she at our house?" "At my mother's house?" "She has no business being there." "I asked her to pick something up, Jess, that's not the point." "I'm sorry if it upset you." "I was just trying to help..." "You're not helping." "And stop trying to act like my mother because you're not my mother and you never will be." "I have to do my homework." " Are those your kids?" " Yeah." "They must miss you." "We need to get you walking so you can go home." "No, they're fine." "They're with my ex-husband and his wife." "Let me know if I give you too much resistance." "I've been letting you do most of the work and trying not to cheerlead." "Thanks." "I think I've had enough." "I think you can go a little further." "Easy for you to say." "OK, rest a second." "OK, Karen, you know what I'm thinking?" "I think we can get you on that walker tomorrow." "I don't think I'm ready." "I think you are." "What, I don't have a say in it?" "Not exactly." "Come on, let's do some more." "Come on, here we go." "Alright." "So, how long were you married?" "Fourteen years." "That's not a short amount of time with someone." "Are you remarried?" "No." " Who has custody of the kids?" " Joint custody." "Do you mind if we don't have any small talk right now?" "Just trying to get to know my patient." "Some of us actually like people." "OK, you know, I think I've had enough." "It hurts." "You just need to focus." "I'm trying to focus, but you won't shut up." "You know what, if you don't want to get better, if you don't want to take advantage of what you've been given, fine, but let's get one thing straight:" "I'm not the one stopping you." "Am the one getting in my own way?" "Is that the reason why your little motivational speeches aren't working?" "And the goading questions about my kids?" "Let me tell you something." "You're condescending and patronizing." "You're the opposite of motivating." "Don't you laugh at me!" "My life has been ripped apart and I doubt very seriously you have any idea what that's like!" "You get some rest." "I'll see you tomorrow." "Grace, would you like half a bagel?" "No, I want a whole bagel." "Are you making sausages?" "How come you're only hungry for breakfast on Saturday?" "To puzzle you." " Is that cheese in this?" " No." "Did you want cheese?" "Then we're all set." "Jess, breakfast!" "I had some cereal." "I need to get to the hospital." "Can you take me?" "Sweetie, you have all day to do that." "I can take you after breakfast." "But I have to stop at Sam's on the way to pick up something." "But then you'll take forever with Sam." " Zoe." " What?" "Jessie, I could take you right now." "That would be a huge help." "OK." "Let's go." "Hi, Rick." "Is Eli around?" "Grace, could you run out to the garage..." "He's not here." "I don't think I saw him come home last night." "What?" "He's not here right now." "Why, is he supposed to be there?" "He just left a little early yesterday..." "Why?" "I don't know, actually, he didn't say." "Exactly." "Just call when you want to be picked up." "I know you don't want to have this conversation." "So, I'm sorry... but I have something to say." "And you can just listen..." "I have no intention of trying to take the place of your mother." "Because I can't." "Nobody can." "But I do have a role in your life now and I happen to be really happy about that." "I think you're terrific and smart and I'm proud to be a part of your life." "And I know it's a really difficult time for you..." "It's a difficult time for everyone." "Anyway, I need you to know that I'm here for you." "Anything you need." "Just know that." "Thank you." "What are you doing?" "I'm just cleaning up for when Mom comes home." "Though I know I'm not supposed to be here." "What do you mean?" "I got kicked out, remember?" "Let me tell you something about your mom." "I'm a screw-up." "It's not really a secret." "I'm not going to defend you or her or anybody at this point, because it really doesn't matter." "But I know..." "I know your mother loves you" "I know she wants to see you, and I know you've been avoiding it." "You think I'd make her feel better if I sat there and reminded her?" " Remind her of what?" " Of how much I've disappointed her." "Of how much I've let her down." "Your mom has just gone through something horrible and she needs her son to be with her." "And, quite frankly," "I need you to get past yourself, I need you to grow up." "Because you're a man now, whether you like it or not." "And I need you to see yourself that way." "For your sister, and your mom, but for me, too." "Because I can't do this by myself." "And even though everything about this family has changed... the truth is that we still need each other." "All of us." "You need some help with this?" "Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday." "I shouldn't have left." "Especially... not telling anyone." "And I'm sorry if I left you short handed." "It was completely irresponsible." "You have a great place." "And I appreciate you guys for giving me a chance." "So..." "Thanks." "You willing to work on Sundays?" "Sure." "Anything." "We'll try that for a couple of weeks and see how it goes." "That'd be great." "Good." "See you tomorrow." "Ten o'clock." "I'll be here." "Thanks." "Thanks." "Hi, Mom." "Hi, honey." "I brought you your pillow from home." "My pillow." "You have no idea how much I've... missed this." "What are those?" "These are for Mom." "But maybe she'll let you have one." "Oh... my God." "Those are the ones, right?" "From Sullivan Street?" "Thank you." "Jessie, you want one?" "Sit here." "Is this OK?" "You're comfortable?" "You know, I got a job at Judy's bookstore." "Yeah." "It's kind of just, helping out, grunt work, but everyone's really nice." "It's a really cool place." "It's a great place." "So, if it works out, I might stay on." "That's great." "You know when you're getting out of here?" "Hopefully soon." "I was wondering if..." "when I do get out... if you would pick me up." "Sure." "And E?" "I might need you to come and stay with me for a little while, you know, just to... help me up the stairs and everything." "Would that be OK?" "I'm so sorry, honey." "Me too." "Don't eat all of those." "I barely even had one!" "I'm watching you." "How are you feeling today?" "Better." "Good." "So, what do you have in store for me today?" "I was thinking that we should try and walk down the hall." "What do you think?" "What do you think?" "I think you can do it." "Then I will give it a whirl." "This is gonna be a little tricky." "I need you to inch your body up towards the bed here." "I'm gonna take your legs, and you put your arms wrapped around me." "Nice and slow." "Your last name is Higgins?" "Yeah." "So your name is Henry Higgins?" "No, really, go ahead, laugh." "I've never heard that joke before." "I suppose you can drive yourself crazy trying to figure out why things happen the way they happen." "For what reason." "If there is a reason." "It all seems so random." "And you can't always know why." "But one thing I do know... is that my babies still need me." "These precious sweet souls... still need me." "But I am not lost to them." "I am not lost... to me."
