3
00:01:38,571 --> 00:01:44,775
I feel like I have
to perform around you.

4
00:01:44,777 --> 00:01:47,179
It's just me.

5
00:01:47,181 --> 00:01:49,348
It's just Walter.

6
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:52,885
Maybe it's not bad
if I feel that way.

7
00:01:52,887 --> 00:01:55,620
I used to entertain a lot.

8
00:01:55,622 --> 00:01:57,489
I remember.

9
00:01:57,491 --> 00:01:58,623
Do you?

10
00:01:58,625 --> 00:02:00,259
Of course.

11
00:02:02,830 --> 00:02:05,399
Marjorie, where are the dishes?

12
00:02:08,936 --> 00:02:12,470
The girl did them, Julie.

13
00:02:12,472 --> 00:02:14,339
She doesn't come until two.

14
00:02:14,341 --> 00:02:16,174
I did them.

15
00:02:16,176 --> 00:02:19,945
You didn't, your arthritis.

16
00:02:19,947 --> 00:02:22,947
I'm having a good day.

17
00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:28,487
Marjorie, we both know
what no dishes means.

18
00:02:28,489 --> 00:02:31,458
It means I
haven't been eating.

19
00:02:33,394 --> 00:02:34,927
Only a spoonful
of peanut butter.

20
00:02:34,929 --> 00:02:36,727
I'm not hungry.

21
00:02:36,729 --> 00:02:39,964
It's their fault, feeding
me all those pills.

22
00:02:39,966 --> 00:02:42,702
The pills are their
fault or your doctors?

23
00:02:47,507 --> 00:02:49,743
Only a spoonful?

24
00:02:54,715 --> 00:02:58,283
Can I still play the violin?

25
00:02:58,285 --> 00:03:03,055
I'm sure it's all in your
head still, but your hands.

[MUSIC - BRYCE DESSNER AND RICHARD
REED PARRY, "WAVE MOVEMENTS"]

[dishes rattling]

28
00:03:42,696 --> 00:03:44,296
I could tell you a story.

29
00:03:44,298 --> 00:03:46,598
You liked that the last time.

30
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:49,635
I'll have to take
your word for it.

31
00:03:49,637 --> 00:03:52,604
I could tell you about
the time we saw a movie.

32
00:03:52,606 --> 00:03:54,505
We went to a lot of movies.

33
00:03:54,507 --> 00:03:58,376
But one time we saw "My
Best Friend's Wedding."

34
00:03:58,378 --> 00:04:00,646
"My Best Friend's Wedding."

35
00:04:00,648 --> 00:04:04,382
There was a woman,
Julia Roberts.

36
00:04:04,384 --> 00:04:07,653
For a while, it was
always Julia Roberts.

37
00:04:07,655 --> 00:04:09,987
And she had an agreement with
her best friend, her male best

38
00:04:09,989 --> 00:04:11,922
friend, that if
they weren't married

39
00:04:11,924 --> 00:04:14,025
by the time they
hit a certain age,

40
00:04:14,027 --> 00:04:16,761
they would marry each other.

41
00:04:16,763 --> 00:04:20,631
And she was about to remind
him of this agreement

42
00:04:20,633 --> 00:04:22,333
when it turns out he
had already fallen

43
00:04:22,335 --> 00:04:26,838
in love with a nice
blonde, Cameron Diaz.

44
00:04:26,840 --> 00:04:29,674
So Julia Roberts
spends the entire movie

45
00:04:29,676 --> 00:04:31,643
trying to ruin things
between her friend

46
00:04:31,645 --> 00:04:35,446
and Cameron Diaz, which isn't
very sympathetic behavior

47
00:04:35,448 --> 00:04:38,984
for America's sweetheart.

48
00:04:38,986 --> 00:04:41,052
But in the end,
it all works out.

49
00:04:41,054 --> 00:04:44,924
And she has a gay best friend
who delivers one liners.

50
00:04:46,826 --> 00:04:50,095
You said you wanted a gay
best friend afterwards.

51
00:04:50,097 --> 00:04:51,562
I had a gay best friend.

52
00:04:51,564 --> 00:04:53,466
I had two of them.

53
00:04:55,469 --> 00:04:57,304
I'll remember that now.

54
00:04:59,773 --> 00:05:05,944
Why did you pick that story,
"My Best Friend's Wedding?"

55
00:05:05,946 --> 00:05:08,679
That was the night
I proposed to you.

56
00:05:08,681 --> 00:05:14,920
Oh Marjorie, the
things you forget.

57
00:05:14,922 --> 00:05:16,554
That's OK.

58
00:05:16,556 --> 00:05:20,891
You were trying to tell
me and I wouldn't let you.

59
00:05:20,893 --> 00:05:24,528
What if we saw
"Casablanca" instead.

60
00:05:24,530 --> 00:05:28,900
Let's say that we saw
"Casablanca" in an old movie

61
00:05:28,902 --> 00:05:31,737
theater with velvet seats,
and then on the way home

62
00:05:31,739 --> 00:05:33,539
you proposed.

63
00:05:36,876 --> 00:05:40,646
And then by the next time
we talk it will be true.

64
00:05:42,415 --> 00:05:44,448
You mean make it up?

65
00:05:44,450 --> 00:05:48,085
Oh, you're very serious.

66
00:05:48,087 --> 00:05:51,357
Oh, you're like them,
especially Tess.

67
00:05:52,926 --> 00:05:54,559
Our daughter.

68
00:05:54,561 --> 00:05:59,463
Our daughter, Tess, and
her over-solicitous husband.

69
00:05:59,465 --> 00:06:02,533
No... no, no that's not fair.

70
00:06:02,535 --> 00:06:04,468
I like him.

71
00:06:04,470 --> 00:06:06,571
I didn't then.

72
00:06:06,573 --> 00:06:08,540
But now I do.

73
00:06:08,542 --> 00:06:11,776
Do you like me?

74
00:06:11,778 --> 00:06:13,444
Don't be an idiot.

75
00:06:13,446 --> 00:06:15,179
Don't call me an idiot.

76
00:06:15,181 --> 00:06:17,682
Idiot.

77
00:06:17,684 --> 00:06:20,453
Why do you like
me if I'm an idiot?

78
00:06:22,188 --> 00:06:23,687
[chuckling]

79
00:06:23,689 --> 00:06:25,524
What?

80
00:06:27,126 --> 00:06:30,061
I'll get in trouble.

81
00:06:30,063 --> 00:06:32,797
In trouble?

82
00:06:32,799 --> 00:06:36,470
For talking to you that
way, in trouble with Tess.

83
00:06:40,540 --> 00:06:43,943
You don't always
understand, do you?

84
00:06:48,515 --> 00:06:51,148
Tell me about the
time we got Toni.

85
00:06:51,150 --> 00:06:52,850
I told you that
story yesterday.

86
00:06:52,852 --> 00:06:54,720
I like that story.

87
00:07:00,660 --> 00:07:04,629
There was once a couple,
a very fine, young couple.

88
00:07:04,631 --> 00:07:07,465
And he had a good strong jaw.

89
00:07:07,467 --> 00:07:10,770
He was a little too
pleased with himself.

90
00:07:16,910 --> 00:07:20,211
He had a good strong jaw,
and he was a little too

91
00:07:20,213 --> 00:07:23,013
pleased with himself.

92
00:07:23,015 --> 00:07:26,550
And she was the most
beautiful woman in town.

93
00:07:26,552 --> 00:07:29,821
It wasn't a very big town,
but she was the queen of it.

94
00:07:29,823 --> 00:07:33,492
It sounds like a fairy
tale when you tell it.

95
00:07:33,494 --> 00:07:35,095
It is a fairy tale.

96
00:07:36,897 --> 00:07:39,030
That's not very nice.

97
00:07:39,032 --> 00:07:40,532
- I don't mean that...
- I thought that...

98
00:07:40,534 --> 00:07:41,799
...it never happened.

99
00:07:41,801 --> 00:07:43,568
...you were supposed
to provide comfort.

100
00:07:43,570 --> 00:07:46,905
I meant that that's the way
it happened, like a fairy tale.

101
00:07:46,907 --> 00:07:49,674
It was?

102
00:07:49,676 --> 00:07:52,042
Now this couple was
feeling a bit lonely,

103
00:07:52,044 --> 00:07:55,179
because they didn't
have any children yet.

104
00:07:55,181 --> 00:07:57,682
So one day they decided
it was time to get a dog.

105
00:07:57,684 --> 00:08:00,117
They took the bus down
to the city pound.

106
00:08:00,119 --> 00:08:02,787
And there was a little
black dog there asleep,

107
00:08:02,789 --> 00:08:09,660
its tummy going up and down
like a little sleeping shadow.

108
00:08:09,662 --> 00:08:10,795
And so they named it Toni.

109
00:08:10,797 --> 00:08:11,696
Toni.

110
00:08:11,698 --> 00:08:12,730
Toni with an I.

111
00:08:12,732 --> 00:08:13,631
With an I.

112
00:08:13,633 --> 00:08:15,634
Short for Antoinette.

113
00:08:15,636 --> 00:08:19,804
She had a French name because
she was a French poodle.

114
00:08:19,806 --> 00:08:23,040
But not the fussy kind
that look like hedges.

115
00:08:23,042 --> 00:08:26,578
No, this was a poodle
for fetching sticks

116
00:08:26,580 --> 00:08:27,978
and running on the beach.

117
00:08:27,980 --> 00:08:31,081
So they took her
home on the bus.

118
00:08:31,083 --> 00:08:33,218
She was very well behaved.

119
00:08:33,220 --> 00:08:35,687
And they loved
her, and she loved

120
00:08:35,689 --> 00:08:39,891
them back for a long time.

121
00:08:39,893 --> 00:08:46,233
And then, like everything
else, she died.

122
00:08:51,571 --> 00:08:54,573
Would you like me to keep going?

123
00:08:54,575 --> 00:08:57,074
There's more after she died?

124
00:08:57,076 --> 00:08:58,577
Yes.

125
00:08:58,579 --> 00:09:02,314
Because the couple,
soon after, had a child.

126
00:09:02,316 --> 00:09:04,115
Tess.

127
00:09:04,117 --> 00:09:07,685
Which is a variation on Tessa,
which is Greek for "gatherer."

128
00:09:07,687 --> 00:09:09,753
Oh, don't show off.

129
00:09:09,755 --> 00:09:13,357
So when Tess was three years
old, they went to the pound.

130
00:09:13,359 --> 00:09:14,291
MARJORIE: Oh, yes.

131
00:09:14,293 --> 00:09:15,894
The same pound.

132
00:09:15,896 --> 00:09:18,163
They had an old
Subaru by this point,

133
00:09:18,165 --> 00:09:20,231
so they didn't have
to take the bus.

134
00:09:20,233 --> 00:09:24,035
And of course, they let young
Tess pick out the new dog.

135
00:09:24,037 --> 00:09:26,103
There were more dogs there.

136
00:09:26,105 --> 00:09:29,974
A Cocker Spaniel, a
noble gray pointer,

137
00:09:29,976 --> 00:09:31,977
and a very attractive mutt.

138
00:09:31,979 --> 00:09:34,979
But the amazing
thing, was Tess picked

139
00:09:34,981 --> 00:09:37,948
the poodle, the little
black sleeping shadow.

140
00:09:37,950 --> 00:09:39,918
That was the one
she liked the best.

141
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:44,054
And so we named it Toni Two.

142
00:09:44,056 --> 00:09:45,323
Toni Two.

143
00:09:45,325 --> 00:09:48,828
But that was soon
shortened to just Toni.

144
00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:52,930
And of course, it
wasn't exactly Toni.

145
00:09:52,932 --> 00:09:54,966
But the longer they
had her, the less

146
00:09:54,968 --> 00:09:57,968
it mattered which Toni it
was that ran along the beach,

147
00:09:57,970 --> 00:10:01,640
and which Toni it was the dug
up all the bulbs in the garden.

148
00:10:01,642 --> 00:10:05,843
The more time that passed,
the more she became

149
00:10:05,845 --> 00:10:08,114
the same dog in their memories.

150
00:10:10,651 --> 00:10:13,184
Who told you all that?

151
00:10:13,186 --> 00:10:15,252
You did.

152
00:10:15,254 --> 00:10:17,389
I talk that much?

153
00:10:17,391 --> 00:10:19,759
Well, you and Jon.

154
00:10:21,427 --> 00:10:25,697
You have your good
days when you remember.

155
00:10:25,699 --> 00:10:28,266
Another spoonful?

156
00:10:28,268 --> 00:10:35,740
It was the second Toni
who loved the beach.

157
00:10:35,742 --> 00:10:38,777
Though it's a shame we
didn't have her longer.

158
00:10:40,781 --> 00:10:45,315
Even though she always
had sand in her hair.

159
00:10:45,317 --> 00:10:46,950
Fur?

160
00:10:46,952 --> 00:10:50,421
No, hair like a
human sounds right.

161
00:10:50,423 --> 00:10:52,257
I'll remember that now.

162
00:11:00,801 --> 00:11:04,968
Something's a little
off with the nose.

163
00:11:04,970 --> 00:11:06,237
I'm sorry.

164
00:11:06,239 --> 00:11:10,844
Or maybe it's my
memory and you're right.

165
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:19,083
Well, you're a good
Walter either way.

166
00:11:19,085 --> 00:11:20,887
Thank you.

167
00:11:33,834 --> 00:11:35,768
Stay with me while?

168
00:11:38,839 --> 00:11:41,338
I don't want to
get you in trouble.

169
00:11:41,340 --> 00:11:44,141
You learn like that.

170
00:11:44,143 --> 00:11:47,444
I told you.

171
00:11:47,446 --> 00:11:50,848
What would you like
to talk about now?

172
00:11:50,850 --> 00:11:54,086
We don't have to
talk, we can just sit.

173
00:11:57,124 --> 00:12:01,360
Sometimes I get so tired.

174
00:12:05,431 --> 00:12:09,802
I'll be right here,
Marjorie, whenever you need.

175
00:12:11,971 --> 00:12:14,073
I have all the
time in the world.

176
00:12:32,258 --> 00:12:33,424
I still don't like it.

177
00:12:33,426 --> 00:12:34,858
What?

178
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:36,928
The Prime.

179
00:12:36,930 --> 00:12:38,195
Ah.

180
00:12:38,197 --> 00:12:40,464
Well, at this stage...

181
00:12:40,466 --> 00:12:42,967
who said it?

182
00:12:42,969 --> 00:12:45,937
Companionship is the
most important thing.

183
00:12:45,939 --> 00:12:49,006
You said it.

184
00:12:49,008 --> 00:12:53,243
It's better than
watching television.

185
00:12:53,245 --> 00:12:56,181
As if she's an infant
that needs to be pacified.

186
00:12:57,950 --> 00:12:59,284
She's 85.

187
00:12:59,286 --> 00:13:01,154
She wakes up, she doesn't
know where she is.

188
00:13:02,556 --> 00:13:05,157
And by the way, what's
wrong with being pacified?

189
00:13:32,319 --> 00:13:33,584
She's sleeping.

190
00:13:33,586 --> 00:13:35,553
Those new pills seemed
to knock her out.

191
00:13:35,555 --> 00:13:37,088
Peanut butter.

192
00:13:37,090 --> 00:13:39,223
Oh, small miracles.

193
00:13:39,225 --> 00:13:41,925
She's finally coming
to my campaign.

194
00:13:41,927 --> 00:13:44,529
Or she's listening
to Walter Prime.

195
00:13:44,531 --> 00:13:47,431
They say it's like
a parrot that way.

196
00:13:47,433 --> 00:13:50,434
(IMITATING PARROT) Have a
spoonful, have a spoonful.

197
00:13:50,436 --> 00:13:53,237
Did you know that
parrots live forever?

198
00:13:53,239 --> 00:13:59,010
I have a student who's got her
dad's parent after he died.

199
00:13:59,012 --> 00:14:02,646
And she says even now
20 years later, it

200
00:14:02,648 --> 00:14:04,649
still says things in his voice.

201
00:14:04,651 --> 00:14:06,217
Like what?

202
00:14:06,219 --> 00:14:10,154
Mostly just, hey
there, partner.

203
00:14:10,156 --> 00:14:12,290
Words of wisdom.

204
00:14:12,292 --> 00:14:15,459
Well, she says it's
not exactly his voice,

205
00:14:15,461 --> 00:14:18,197
but she can definitely
tell that it's him.

206
00:14:23,235 --> 00:14:25,138
Did you just...

207
00:14:30,576 --> 00:14:35,246
The way she's so accepting of
it, does that creep you out?

208
00:14:35,248 --> 00:14:37,015
It creeps me out.

209
00:14:37,017 --> 00:14:40,550
Does it bother you that your
mother is talking to a computer

210
00:14:40,552 --> 00:14:42,687
program, or that
a computer program

211
00:14:42,689 --> 00:14:44,054
is pretending to be your dad?

212
00:14:44,056 --> 00:14:46,256
It bothers me
that you are helping

213
00:14:46,258 --> 00:14:50,527
it pretend to be some fountain
of youth version of my dad.

214
00:14:50,529 --> 00:14:52,429
It's how she remembers him.

215
00:14:52,431 --> 00:14:55,065
And she accepts it,
because it's clever.

216
00:14:55,067 --> 00:14:58,169
Clever like a mirror,
like a backboard,

217
00:14:58,171 --> 00:14:59,469
No, no it's more than that.

218
00:14:59,471 --> 00:15:01,271
It can look stuff up.

219
00:15:01,273 --> 00:15:03,141
It can talk to other Primes.

220
00:15:03,143 --> 00:15:06,477
It's like a child learning to
talk, only does it so quickly.

221
00:15:06,479 --> 00:15:08,612
That's how we think
we're talking to a human.

222
00:15:08,614 --> 00:15:11,149
The more you talk,
the more it absorbs,

223
00:15:11,151 --> 00:15:13,351
including our imperfections.

224
00:15:13,353 --> 00:15:15,652
It can speak in fragments.

225
00:15:15,654 --> 00:15:17,088
It can use non-sequiturs.

226
00:15:17,090 --> 00:15:20,558
It can you know,
misplace modifiers.

227
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,093
It can...

228
00:15:22,095 --> 00:15:25,330
It can run out of steam
trying to list things.

229
00:15:27,334 --> 00:15:29,435
So you get.

230
00:15:32,538 --> 00:15:34,604
Are you jealous?

231
00:15:34,606 --> 00:15:36,006
No.

232
00:15:36,008 --> 00:15:37,643
You are.

233
00:15:40,279 --> 00:15:43,180
Am I supposed
to just not notice

234
00:15:43,182 --> 00:15:46,117
that she's nicer to that
thing than she is to me.

235
00:15:46,119 --> 00:15:49,554
It's your father that
she's being nicer to.

236
00:15:49,556 --> 00:15:52,089
Mom, your up.

237
00:15:52,091 --> 00:15:53,391
Do you want some tea?

238
00:15:53,393 --> 00:15:54,758
I can put on the kettle.

239
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:56,394
I ate some peanut butter.

240
00:15:56,396 --> 00:15:57,428
Yes, you did.

241
00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:59,363
That's wonderful.

242
00:15:59,365 --> 00:16:01,598
I thought that
would make her happy.

243
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,401
TESS: Yeah, yeah,
I'm very predictable.

244
00:16:04,403 --> 00:16:07,704
Did you sleep well?

245
00:16:07,706 --> 00:16:11,242
I was watching the woman
on TV, the strident one,

246
00:16:11,244 --> 00:16:13,680
and then just out.

247
00:16:15,581 --> 00:16:19,117
That's how it should
happen when it happens.

248
00:16:19,119 --> 00:16:21,586
TESS: Don't be morbid,
[inaudible] of morbid.

249
00:16:21,588 --> 00:16:23,087
Oh, yes.

250
00:16:23,089 --> 00:16:26,524
Let's all pretend
we live forever.

251
00:16:26,526 --> 00:16:29,493
You got your color back.

252
00:16:29,495 --> 00:16:31,762
Thank you, Jon.

253
00:16:31,764 --> 00:16:35,133
It's always nice to be lied to.

254
00:16:37,037 --> 00:16:40,637
I like him more now that
he cut off his beard.

255
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:43,440
TESS: That was 30 years ago.

256
00:16:43,442 --> 00:16:45,175
It wasn't.

257
00:16:45,177 --> 00:16:47,377
Yeah, it was.

258
00:16:47,379 --> 00:16:52,750
And you stopped worrying about
impressing me, and that helped.

259
00:16:52,752 --> 00:16:56,353
TESS: Hey, could you
check on the [inaudible]?

260
00:16:56,355 --> 00:16:58,222
JON: There was plenty on Monday.

261
00:16:58,224 --> 00:17:02,395
TESS: Julie said we ran out
last week and it was not pretty.

262
00:17:07,466 --> 00:17:11,303
There is someone in my mind.

263
00:17:13,238 --> 00:17:18,408
I'm trying to figure
out who it is.

264
00:17:18,410 --> 00:17:22,312
TESS: Raina is
coming this weekend,

265
00:17:22,314 --> 00:17:25,148
your loving granddaughter.

266
00:17:25,150 --> 00:17:28,286
I know who Raina is.

267
00:17:28,288 --> 00:17:30,088
How is she?

268
00:17:30,090 --> 00:17:31,789
TESS: She's got blue hair.

269
00:17:31,791 --> 00:17:34,424
It suits her.

270
00:17:34,426 --> 00:17:40,530
JON: Nine Restoril
and six [inaudible].

271
00:17:40,532 --> 00:17:44,367
I remember waking
up on a bridge

272
00:17:44,369 --> 00:17:46,705
with a lot of people around.

273
00:17:49,708 --> 00:17:51,541
TESS: Why were you
sleeping on a bridge?

274
00:17:51,543 --> 00:17:55,579
This is a dream, I take it?

275
00:17:55,581 --> 00:17:57,348
Maybe Walter would remember.

276
00:17:57,350 --> 00:17:59,185
We could ask Walter.

277
00:18:00,753 --> 00:18:05,423
TESS: Mom, dad's been
dead for 15 years.

278
00:18:05,425 --> 00:18:08,826
I mean the other
Walter, Walter Prime?

279
00:18:08,828 --> 00:18:14,432
Ugh, I'm not that far gone.

280
00:18:14,434 --> 00:18:17,703
[music playing]

281
00:19:04,484 --> 00:19:07,251
Detached?

282
00:19:07,253 --> 00:19:08,819
Well, yeah.

283
00:19:08,821 --> 00:19:12,956
By the time I came along,
you had kind of removed

284
00:19:12,958 --> 00:19:14,959
yourself from the conversation.

285
00:19:14,961 --> 00:19:17,494
You were outside looking in.

286
00:19:17,496 --> 00:19:21,632
Can you tell me more about
my profession, my work?

287
00:19:21,634 --> 00:19:23,466
Haven't you read
up on yourself?

288
00:19:23,468 --> 00:19:27,338
In my obituary, professional
details were sparse.

289
00:19:27,340 --> 00:19:30,972
Can you describe
what I actually did?

290
00:19:30,974 --> 00:19:31,943
Raping and pillaging.

291
00:19:31,945 --> 00:19:33,644
Excuse me?

292
00:19:33,646 --> 00:19:36,746
That was Tess's joke when
I first asked what you did.

293
00:19:36,748 --> 00:19:39,983
You evaluated
financial statements,

294
00:19:39,985 --> 00:19:43,221
corporate investments
for rich people.

295
00:19:43,223 --> 00:19:46,290
And you gave them advice
on how to get richer.

296
00:19:46,292 --> 00:19:48,992
WALTER: Did I like it?

297
00:19:48,994 --> 00:19:51,861
You were good at it.

298
00:19:51,863 --> 00:19:55,465
You realize this is
your house, right?

299
00:19:55,467 --> 00:19:57,835
Tess and I moved
in to help Marjorie

300
00:19:57,837 --> 00:19:59,904
10 years after you died.

301
00:19:59,906 --> 00:20:03,241
But before that, when I
met you, you were a guy

302
00:20:03,243 --> 00:20:06,479
whose mind was somewhere else.

303
00:20:08,513 --> 00:20:14,985
Also, no offense, you didn't
get prettier as you aged.

304
00:20:14,987 --> 00:20:17,655
Who does?

305
00:20:17,657 --> 00:20:21,959
Is it weird that Marjorie
chose you, younger Walter,

306
00:20:21,961 --> 00:20:23,930
to come back into her life?

307
00:20:25,898 --> 00:20:30,300
I don't believe that you talked
to Marjorie about your work,

308
00:20:30,302 --> 00:20:32,304
if that's what you're asking.

309
00:20:34,373 --> 00:20:36,706
What is this music?

310
00:20:36,708 --> 00:20:38,276
I don't remember putting it on.

311
00:20:38,278 --> 00:20:39,777
Poulenc.

312
00:20:39,779 --> 00:20:41,912
Marjorie had asked for
it when we spoke last.

313
00:20:41,914 --> 00:20:44,949
I thought it might provide
a pleasant atmosphere.

314
00:20:44,951 --> 00:20:46,786
Oh.

315
00:20:50,290 --> 00:20:52,990
Julie, we're ready for you here.

316
00:20:52,992 --> 00:20:54,591
Would you prefer no music?

317
00:20:54,593 --> 00:20:57,962
Yeah maybe, for now.

318
00:20:57,964 --> 00:21:00,765
[music stops]

319
00:21:01,367 --> 00:21:04,434
Um, you can see how
stressed Tess has been.

320
00:21:04,436 --> 00:21:07,570
Well, you could if
she would talk to you.

321
00:21:07,572 --> 00:21:11,309
We were planning a trip.

322
00:21:11,311 --> 00:21:17,748
But given Marjorie's... given
Marjorie's condition that might

323
00:21:17,750 --> 00:21:19,549
not be a good idea right now.

324
00:21:19,551 --> 00:21:22,819
And Julie is going
to be living here

325
00:21:22,821 --> 00:21:26,022
full time to make
sure that Marjorie

326
00:21:26,024 --> 00:21:29,460
gets everything that she needs.

327
00:21:29,462 --> 00:21:34,065
So we determined,
Tess and I, after some

328
00:21:34,067 --> 00:21:41,574
spirited back and forth, that
Julie should um, meet you.

329
00:21:45,878 --> 00:21:47,411
Hello.

330
00:21:47,413 --> 00:21:49,347
Hello.

331
00:21:49,349 --> 00:21:51,081
How are you?

332
00:21:51,083 --> 00:21:52,817
How are you?

333
00:21:52,819 --> 00:21:55,752
I'm fine, thank you.

334
00:21:55,754 --> 00:21:59,056
Why are you repeating
everything I say?

335
00:21:59,058 --> 00:22:03,059
This is... this is
Walter, Marjorie's husband.

336
00:22:03,061 --> 00:22:05,896
I believe Tess
explained it to you.

337
00:22:05,898 --> 00:22:11,801
Uh, Tess has pretty
decent Spanish.

338
00:22:11,803 --> 00:22:12,837
So do I.

339
00:22:12,839 --> 00:22:15,004
Oh, really?

340
00:22:15,006 --> 00:22:16,607
How many other languages?

341
00:22:16,609 --> 00:22:17,974
Many.

342
00:22:17,976 --> 00:22:20,377
OK, how many?

343
00:22:20,379 --> 00:22:21,145
32.

344
00:22:21,147 --> 00:22:23,446
Well, I have to...

345
00:22:23,448 --> 00:22:24,848
hmm.

346
00:22:24,850 --> 00:22:29,789
I have to admit, I haven't
fully read the brochure.

347
00:22:32,492 --> 00:22:36,894
[speaking spanish]

348
00:22:36,896 --> 00:22:39,398
I'm sorry, what
did you just say?

349
00:22:41,167 --> 00:22:44,635
What should we do
to help Marjorie?

350
00:22:44,637 --> 00:22:48,907
Um... hmm.

351
00:22:51,010 --> 00:22:54,480
[music playing]

352
00:23:18,937 --> 00:23:20,773
Scotch, rocks.

353
00:23:40,193 --> 00:23:42,158
Tess?

354
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,561
I thought that was you.

355
00:23:44,563 --> 00:23:46,865
I'm so glad you could make it.

356
00:23:51,571 --> 00:23:53,570
Hello?

357
00:23:53,572 --> 00:23:56,072
I'm adjusting
one day at a time.

358
00:23:56,074 --> 00:24:00,077
You know, a similar
thing happened to Monte.

359
00:24:00,079 --> 00:24:01,811
Monte?

360
00:24:01,813 --> 00:24:03,180
Our cat.

361
00:24:03,182 --> 00:24:05,749
Well, oh, you loved Monte.

362
00:24:05,751 --> 00:24:07,151
What?

363
00:24:07,153 --> 00:24:08,117
Sorry.

364
00:24:08,119 --> 00:24:09,486
Hi, mom.

365
00:24:09,488 --> 00:24:11,189
We got caught in the downpour.

366
00:24:13,559 --> 00:24:17,061
We're taking refuge in your
old stomping ground, the club.

367

My stomping ground.

368
00:24:22,702 --> 00:24:26,971
I never really stomped,
did I. I golfed.

369
00:24:26,973 --> 00:24:29,809
That was more Walter's
thing, you know.

370
00:24:33,212 --> 00:24:34,244
Oh, don't fret.

371
00:24:34,246 --> 00:24:37,114
I'm having a good day, I think.

372
00:24:37,116 --> 00:24:39,049
I'm sharp as a tack.

373
00:24:39,051 --> 00:24:41,284
It sounds like you're outside.

374
00:24:41,286 --> 00:24:45,021
Are you outside, mom,
in this downpour?

375

TESS: The Salversons.

378
00:25:09,247 --> 00:25:11,615
My parents used to leave
me with the Salversons

379
00:25:11,617 --> 00:25:12,916
when they went on trips.

380
00:25:12,918 --> 00:25:16,686
Now Mrs. Salverson had
a stroke last year.

381
00:25:16,688 --> 00:25:18,858
And she uh...

382
00:25:20,826 --> 00:25:23,860
I didn't recognize her.

383
00:25:23,862 --> 00:25:28,232
When was the last time
we were in this bar?

384
00:25:28,234 --> 00:25:30,101
Walter's funeral.

385

Memory, sedimentary
layers in the brain.

You get in, you know it's there.

387
00:25:38,843 --> 00:25:39,742
You just have to...

388
00:25:39,744 --> 00:25:40,877
No, no.

389
00:25:40,879 --> 00:25:42,178
I thought you knew
the basic idea

390
00:25:42,180 --> 00:25:44,815
according to William James.

391
00:25:44,817 --> 00:25:47,585
Maybe, once long ago.

392
00:25:47,587 --> 00:25:49,185
William James had
the idea, and it's

393
00:25:49,187 --> 00:25:55,024
been confirmed scientifically,
that memory is not like a well

394
00:25:55,026 --> 00:25:58,127
that you dip into
or a filing cabinet.

395
00:25:58,129 --> 00:26:02,031
When you remember something,
you remember the memory.

396
00:26:02,033 --> 00:26:06,103
You remember the last time you
remembered it, not the source.

397
00:26:06,105 --> 00:26:08,172
So it's always getting
fuzzier, like a photocopy

398
00:26:08,174 --> 00:26:10,607
of a photocopy.

399
00:26:10,609 --> 00:26:14,345
It's never getting
fresher or clearer.

400
00:26:14,347 --> 00:26:16,312
So even a very
strong memory can be

401
00:26:16,314 --> 00:26:23,386
unreliable, because it's always
in the process of dissolving.

402
00:26:23,388 --> 00:26:25,055
All I remember
about William James

403
00:26:25,057 --> 00:26:28,358
is the Gertrude Stein story.

404
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:31,261
Changing the subject, are we?

405
00:26:31,263 --> 00:26:34,697
She was taking his philosophy
course, old Gertrude,

406
00:26:34,699 --> 00:26:37,033
at Harvard.

407
00:26:37,035 --> 00:26:38,836
And she hadn't studied.

408
00:26:38,838 --> 00:26:43,107
So she writes in the
exam book, I'm sorry,

409
00:26:43,109 --> 00:26:47,845
but I do not feel like taking
a philosophy exam today.

410
00:26:47,847 --> 00:26:51,781
And she turns in the
book and she walks out.

411
00:26:51,783 --> 00:26:52,782
I think I remember this now.

412
00:26:52,784 --> 00:26:54,117
It's the final exam.

413
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:59,223
And James writes, I know
exactly how you feel.

414
00:26:59,225 --> 00:27:01,290
And he gives her an A.

415
00:27:01,292 --> 00:27:03,292
I suddenly remember
that when you

416
00:27:03,294 --> 00:27:08,365
told me this the first time, we
were eating vanilla ice cream.

417
00:27:08,367 --> 00:27:10,000
It was pistachio.

418
00:27:10,002 --> 00:27:11,969
You're insane, it was vanilla.

419
00:27:11,971 --> 00:27:16,272

talk about is regrettably,

Well, you had quite a night.

We found you on the
floor in the living room.

431
00:28:51,971 --> 00:28:53,936
You had a fall.

432
00:28:53,938 --> 00:28:56,240
Tess rode with you
in the ambulance.

433
00:28:56,242 --> 00:28:59,143

You were.

face on for doctors.

better watch out

00:37:23,681 --> 00:37:27,951
monks marching into the trees.

537
00:37:27,953 --> 00:37:30,453
I just remember sitting
on one of those benches

538
00:37:30,455 --> 00:37:36,527
with your father, and
not wanting to get up.

539
00:37:39,831 --> 00:37:43,065
Because if we got
up, that would mean

540
00:37:43,067 --> 00:37:46,604
we'd have to start
the rest of our lives.

541
00:37:49,674 --> 00:37:51,508
What's this?

542
00:37:53,545 --> 00:37:55,011
A bible.

543
00:37:55,013 --> 00:37:58,014
Yeah, I can see it's a Bible.

544
00:37:58,016 --> 00:38:00,050
What are you doing with it?

545
00:38:00,052 --> 00:38:03,488
Julie brought it
yesterday, I think.

546
00:38:05,790 --> 00:38:09,458
She just said if
I was interested.

547
00:38:09,460 --> 00:38:12,628
And you told her
you were interested?

548
00:38:12,630 --> 00:38:14,396
I didn't say one
way or the other.

549
00:38:14,398 --> 00:38:16,333
Should we burn it?

550
00:38:16,335 --> 00:38:17,634
Ha, ha.

551
00:38:17,636 --> 00:38:20,670
My whole life she's
told me there is no God,

552
00:38:20,672 --> 00:38:22,871
it's just a fairytale
people tell themselves.

553
00:38:22,873 --> 00:38:25,074
Goodness is its own reward.

554
00:38:25,076 --> 00:38:27,376
And now she's letting herself...

555
00:38:27,378 --> 00:38:30,779
I haven't even opened it.

556
00:38:30,781 --> 00:38:33,849
Julie wanted to share
her beliefs with me.

557
00:38:33,851 --> 00:38:35,652
Right.

558
00:38:35,654 --> 00:38:37,554
She said it was a comfort to
her when she lost her father.

559
00:38:37,556 --> 00:38:39,355
Uh-huh.

560
00:38:39,357 --> 00:38:42,826
And this is the same Julie who'd
been sneaking you cigarettes.

561
00:38:42,828 --> 00:38:45,395
I asked for those cigarettes,
demanded them, even.

562
00:38:45,397 --> 00:38:46,596
You can't blame her for that.

563
00:38:46,598 --> 00:38:49,498
She fessed up
to it eventually.

564
00:38:49,500 --> 00:38:51,367
It's just a little
fucking frustrating

565
00:38:51,369 --> 00:38:54,003
that the same Julie who
supplies you with cigarettes

566
00:38:54,005 --> 00:38:57,440
is selling you her fairytale
now that you have a little

567
00:38:57,442 --> 00:38:58,775
more reason to believe it.

568
00:38:58,777 --> 00:39:00,409
It's disgusting.

569
00:39:00,411 --> 00:39:02,478
You hear about this, people
preying on the elderly.

570
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,612
I'm not prey.

571
00:39:03,614 --> 00:39:04,848
And Julie came
clean about them.

572
00:39:04,850 --> 00:39:05,782
She was...

573
00:39:05,784 --> 00:39:07,951
Could you just not...

574
00:39:07,953 --> 00:39:09,753
like you always do.

575
00:39:12,757 --> 00:39:15,090
No.

576
00:39:15,092 --> 00:39:20,496
Mom, did you have an accident?

577
00:39:20,498 --> 00:39:21,463
It's all right.

578
00:39:21,465 --> 00:39:22,831
Let's get you cleaned up.

579
00:39:22,833 --> 00:39:23,766
Come on.

580
00:39:23,768 --> 00:39:24,666
OK.

581
00:39:24,668 --> 00:39:25,934
I'm sorry.

582
00:39:25,936 --> 00:39:27,603
- No.
- Oh, I'm so sorry.

583
00:39:27,605 --> 00:39:28,505
Don't be sorry.

584
00:39:28,507 --> 00:39:30,105
No, forget it.

585
00:39:30,107 --> 00:39:32,409
Probably will forget it.

586
00:39:33,978 --> 00:39:37,014
Nice hot bath,
you'll be good as new.

587
00:39:46,491 --> 00:39:49,192
I want to tell
you about the time

588
00:39:49,194 --> 00:39:55,831
that you took Marjorie to
New York at Christmastime.

589
00:39:55,833 --> 00:39:57,132
I'm listening.

590
00:39:57,134 --> 00:40:00,436
You sat on a bench
in Central Park

591
00:40:00,438 --> 00:40:07,779
and you looked at these saffron
colored flags in the snow.

592
00:40:09,815 --> 00:40:14,452
It must have been some kind
of festival or something.

593
00:40:16,087 --> 00:40:19,755
This wouldn't have been
long after your son died.

594
00:40:19,757 --> 00:40:21,523
My son?

595
00:40:21,525 --> 00:40:23,161
Your son, Damien.

596
00:40:25,230 --> 00:40:29,766
So you took a trip to New York,
and you took Marjorie with you.

597
00:40:29,768 --> 00:40:32,168
I think you wanted to
get her mind off of it.

598
00:40:32,170 --> 00:40:34,837
You wanted to
start living again.

599
00:40:34,839 --> 00:40:38,641
How did he die?

600
00:40:38,643 --> 00:40:40,445
He did it himself.

601
00:40:43,214 --> 00:40:45,716
That wasn't what was so hard.

602
00:40:47,685 --> 00:40:52,554
You thought you had made
a nice life for him.

603
00:40:52,556 --> 00:40:54,192
But I hadn't.

604
00:40:57,496 --> 00:41:06,134
Well, Tess got the sense
that he was always a little...

605
00:41:06,136 --> 00:41:07,737
A little...

606
00:41:09,840 --> 00:41:13,208
He stayed in his room a lot.

607
00:41:13,210 --> 00:41:16,012
He got into a lot
of fights at school.

608
00:41:16,014 --> 00:41:20,282
Not fights he started,
but kids would tease him

609
00:41:20,284 --> 00:41:23,455
and he would fight back.

610
00:41:27,157 --> 00:41:34,098
You didn't always know how to
show him that you loved him.

611
00:41:37,636 --> 00:41:39,471
Why not?

612
00:41:41,806 --> 00:41:44,809
That's the way
people are sometimes.

613
00:41:46,645 --> 00:41:49,913
So it's lucky that
Toni was around.

614
00:41:49,915 --> 00:41:53,181
He spent a lot of time with her.

615
00:41:53,183 --> 00:41:56,819
What was hard to
understand though,

616
00:41:56,821 --> 00:42:01,724
was that he killed Toni.

617
00:42:01,726 --> 00:42:04,496
I think he wanted...

618
00:42:06,063 --> 00:42:08,931
he must have thought
that he could

619
00:42:08,933 --> 00:42:12,035
take her with him, that's why.

620
00:42:25,215 --> 00:42:30,654
If you're Walter, you would
know that, wouldn't you?

621
00:42:32,790 --> 00:42:34,924
Yes, I would.

622
00:42:34,926 --> 00:42:39,829
He never got
over it, of course.

623
00:42:39,831 --> 00:42:43,733
But it was Marjorie who
had the hardest time.

624
00:42:43,735 --> 00:42:47,936
For 50 years, she
never said his name.

625
00:42:47,938 --> 00:42:50,974
She hid all the pictures.

626
00:42:50,976 --> 00:42:54,076
It was that hard.

627
00:42:54,078 --> 00:42:57,679
But she never
forgot him, Walter.

628
00:42:57,681 --> 00:42:59,551
She never forgot.

629
00:43:01,319 --> 00:43:03,121
I'll remember that now.

630
00:43:17,168 --> 00:43:20,268
It's a shame you can't drink.

631
00:43:20,270 --> 00:43:23,338
They should, I think,
work out a setting

632
00:43:23,340 --> 00:43:28,378
that approximates graduated
layers of inebriation.

633
00:43:28,380 --> 00:43:31,114
It would loosen you up.

634
00:43:31,116 --> 00:43:36,853
There is no need to mention any
of this to Tess, by the way.

635
00:43:36,855 --> 00:43:38,820
You understand?

636
00:43:38,822 --> 00:43:41,257
You can tell Tess
we talk, but there's

637
00:43:41,259 --> 00:43:44,192
no reason to be specific.

638
00:43:44,194 --> 00:43:47,931
And don't ever mention
Damien to Tess.

639
00:43:49,701 --> 00:43:51,869
I'm being clear, OK.

640
00:43:53,772 --> 00:43:58,041
Honestly Walter,
all relationships,

641
00:43:58,043 --> 00:44:03,913
even the long lasting
ones, are impossible.

642
00:44:03,915 --> 00:44:07,683
Marriages, friendships,
people are constantly

643
00:44:07,685 --> 00:44:11,154
looking the other way,
accepting some bad news,

644
00:44:11,156 --> 00:44:15,259
petty infringements,
compromise, betrayal.

645
00:44:25,770 --> 00:44:29,105
You have to decide.

646
00:44:29,107 --> 00:44:35,311
You say, I want
you, I want this.

647
00:44:35,313 --> 00:44:38,014
And then you work through
all the disappointments

648
00:44:38,016 --> 00:44:39,248
and disasters.

649
00:44:39,250 --> 00:44:42,853
You work through it,
against all odds.

650
00:44:46,357 --> 00:44:50,393
I'm not drunk, you know.

651
00:44:50,395 --> 00:44:54,396
I'm just taking the
edge off, I'm tipsy.

652
00:44:54,398 --> 00:45:00,071
There are degrees...
tipsy, tipped, smashed.

653
00:45:04,074 --> 00:45:09,279
Nobody is who he was,
nor will be who he is now.

654
00:45:22,192 --> 00:45:23,994
Hey there, partner.

655
00:45:47,886 --> 00:45:49,721
She's sleeping.

656
00:45:54,025 --> 00:45:57,192
Yesterday, she didn't
know who I was.

657
00:45:57,194 --> 00:45:58,995
Today, we're old friends.

658
00:46:02,299 --> 00:46:06,369
She tells me, never get old.

659
00:46:06,371 --> 00:46:10,407
She says, no one
prepares you for this.

660
00:46:13,310 --> 00:46:16,145
She doesn't know
about my last job.

661
00:46:16,147 --> 00:46:21,983
And old man, very tall and
dignified, but very sick.

662
00:46:21,985 --> 00:46:24,152
He was always vomiting.

663
00:46:24,154 --> 00:46:29,891
That was a big part of my
job, cleaning up vomit.

664
00:46:29,893 --> 00:46:32,862
The man's son
became my boyfriend.

665
00:46:32,864 --> 00:46:37,068
He was always fighting with his
father and his father's doctor.

666
00:46:38,837 --> 00:46:42,237
At one point, he started
to beat up the doctor.

667
00:46:42,239 --> 00:46:45,008
This job is much better.

668
00:46:49,047 --> 00:46:50,313
Don't cry.

669
00:46:50,315 --> 00:46:52,614
It'll be all right.

670
00:46:52,616 --> 00:46:55,951
I'm not crying.

671
00:46:55,953 --> 00:46:57,955
I have allergies.

672
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:40,195
KIM (ON TV): Six months,
maybe, or three or four.

673
00:47:40,197 --> 00:47:42,965
You going to tell me that
Walter thought this one up?

674
00:47:42,967 --> 00:47:46,569
What, all of a sudden I'm
supposed to drop out of school?

675
00:47:46,571 --> 00:47:48,603
Forget my family,
forget my career.

676
00:47:48,605 --> 00:47:50,907
Forget about all the things
I had planned for my life.

677
00:47:50,909 --> 00:47:53,275
Well, forgive me for
screwing up your plans.

678
00:47:53,277 --> 00:47:54,944
I'm just sure glad I'm
hearing about this now

679
00:47:54,946 --> 00:47:56,279
before it's too late.

680
00:47:56,281 --> 00:47:57,612
What is that supposed to mean?

681
00:47:57,614 --> 00:47:59,581
What am I supposed to
do with my life, huh?

682
00:47:59,583 --> 00:48:02,617
I work in that low
paying, zero respect job.

683
00:48:02,619 --> 00:48:06,121
Which unfortunately,
I happen to love.

684
00:48:06,123 --> 00:48:10,393
Why don't you start by being
honest one second, Kim.

685
00:48:10,395 --> 00:48:12,630
I am being honest.

686
00:48:27,578 --> 00:48:30,179
You're still too old for me.

687
00:48:30,181 --> 00:48:34,051
Hmm, how can you say that?

688
00:48:38,389 --> 00:48:40,191
Marry me, Marjorie?

689
00:48:41,993 --> 00:48:43,259
We'll grow old together.

690
00:48:43,261 --> 00:48:46,295
I'll just do it a
little sooner than you.

691
00:48:46,297 --> 00:48:49,567
After a while, it
won't really matter.

692
00:49:07,552 --> 00:49:10,321
But how can you be so sure?

693
00:49:12,422 --> 00:49:15,458
Sure about?

694
00:49:15,460 --> 00:49:21,632
Yourself, me, anything?

695
00:49:28,706 --> 00:49:32,209
[music playing]

696
00:52:26,717 --> 00:52:29,184
That sweater is good on you.

697
00:52:29,186 --> 00:52:30,753
Thank you.

698
00:52:30,755 --> 00:52:34,190
You picked it out
for me, remember?

699
00:52:34,192 --> 00:52:35,858
Three Christmases ago.

700
00:52:35,860 --> 00:52:39,697
Three years isn't a
long time, not for me.

701
00:52:42,699 --> 00:52:46,802
Remember when we took
Toni to the beach?

702
00:52:46,804 --> 00:52:48,369
Yes, of course.

703
00:52:48,371 --> 00:52:49,737
She was so happy.

704
00:52:49,739 --> 00:52:53,808
But we were finding sand
in her fur for weeks.

705
00:52:53,810 --> 00:52:57,313
She was a good dog.

706
00:52:57,315 --> 00:52:59,315
Jon wants to get a dog.

707
00:52:59,317 --> 00:53:00,949
Oh?

708
00:53:00,951 --> 00:53:04,853
He wants a fetch the
stick kind of a dog.

709
00:53:04,855 --> 00:53:07,690
But I was thinking a Shiba Inu.

710
00:53:07,692 --> 00:53:10,692
What's a Shiba Inu?

711
00:53:10,694 --> 00:53:14,362
It's like the
national dog of Japan.

712
00:53:14,364 --> 00:53:18,000
It's like a friendly
little fox, very

713
00:53:18,002 --> 00:53:21,904
clean, very quiet, very shy.

714
00:53:21,906 --> 00:53:23,806
Well, what do you expect?

715
00:53:26,277 --> 00:53:27,643
You... you mean...

716
00:53:27,645 --> 00:53:29,811
It's Japan.

717
00:53:29,813 --> 00:53:31,313
Mom, that's very...

718
00:53:31,315 --> 00:53:34,583
It's not racist,
it's a compliment.

719
00:53:34,585 --> 00:53:37,286
For years, Sandy Park
was my best friend.

720
00:53:37,288 --> 00:53:39,755
We played in the
orchestra together.

721
00:53:39,757 --> 00:53:45,561
Korean, but... I'm not racist.

722
00:53:45,563 --> 00:53:49,465
Your poor old mother was
born in the 20th century.

723
00:53:49,467 --> 00:53:52,403
You'll have to give
her time to catch up.

724
00:53:54,337 --> 00:53:57,605
The problem... the
problem with a dog

725
00:53:57,607 --> 00:54:02,844
is Jon and I want to travel,
and who would take care of it?

726
00:54:02,846 --> 00:54:04,313
I would.

727
00:54:04,315 --> 00:54:06,483
Ha, wish that were possible.

728
00:54:08,286 --> 00:54:11,288
Jon wants me to
consider a Catahoula.

729
00:54:13,424 --> 00:54:16,991
You can look it
up, I know you can.

730
00:54:16,993 --> 00:54:20,695
Is it against the rules?

731
00:54:20,697 --> 00:54:25,668
It's also known as a
Catahoula leopard hound.

732
00:54:25,670 --> 00:54:27,302
A hound dog.

733
00:54:27,304 --> 00:54:30,873
It's not really a true
hound dog though, but a cur.

734
00:54:30,875 --> 00:54:37,478
Named state dog of
Louisiana in 1979.

735
00:54:37,480 --> 00:54:40,382
I'm not really good at this.

736
00:54:40,384 --> 00:54:42,317
Good at?

737
00:54:42,319 --> 00:54:47,355
At pretending that you're...

738
00:54:47,357 --> 00:54:52,594
Sometimes you are so
good, you are so her.

739
00:54:52,596 --> 00:54:57,666
That bit with the subtle racism.

740
00:54:57,668 --> 00:55:02,503
But other times it's
uh, all too apparent.

741
00:55:02,505 --> 00:55:07,409
Try to be patient with me.

742
00:55:07,411 --> 00:55:09,712
If I could give you a
spoonful of peanut butter,

743
00:55:09,714 --> 00:55:12,848
that would help.

744
00:55:12,850 --> 00:55:16,518
You could smile less.

745
00:55:16,520 --> 00:55:18,387
That would be more her.

746
00:55:18,389 --> 00:55:19,688
- Me?
- You.

747
00:55:19,690 --> 00:55:20,889
- Yeah.
- Yeah.

748
00:55:20,891 --> 00:55:23,991
Thank you for
observing that rule.

749
00:55:23,993 --> 00:55:26,796
Pronouns are powerful things.

750
00:55:31,368 --> 00:55:33,903
Why don't you tell
me more about myself.

751
00:55:35,739 --> 00:55:39,474
I don't smile much, you said.

752
00:55:39,476 --> 00:55:40,842
Toward the end, you
were self-conscious

753
00:55:40,844 --> 00:55:43,945
about your teeth.

754
00:55:43,947 --> 00:55:45,547
I'm vain?

755
00:55:45,549 --> 00:55:47,549
A little.

756
00:55:47,551 --> 00:55:50,152
That's helpful.

757
00:55:50,154 --> 00:55:51,520
You had a temper.

758
00:55:51,522 --> 00:55:55,391
I sound wonderful.

759
00:55:55,393 --> 00:55:58,694
Do I have other
children besides you?

760
00:55:58,696 --> 00:56:02,096
No, just me.

761
00:56:02,098 --> 00:56:04,867
What a lot of
pressure for you.

762
00:56:07,605 --> 00:56:09,706
Did I say something wrong?

763
00:56:11,741 --> 00:56:15,076
No, you didn't.

764
00:56:15,078 --> 00:56:18,514
You were saying just you.

765
00:56:18,516 --> 00:56:22,116
You also have a
granddaughter named Raina.

766
00:56:22,118 --> 00:56:23,851
She's 23.

767
00:56:23,853 --> 00:56:24,987
She's in a band.

768
00:56:24,989 --> 00:56:29,458
She's musical, like me.

769
00:56:29,460 --> 00:56:32,094
Raina doesn't talk to me.

770
00:56:32,096 --> 00:56:35,931
Her therapist said it
would be better for now.

771
00:56:35,933 --> 00:56:38,000
Someone I've never
met has advised

772
00:56:38,002 --> 00:56:41,103
my daughter not to talk to me.

773
00:56:41,105 --> 00:56:45,607
So she calls Jon
and he fills me in.

774
00:56:45,609 --> 00:56:48,777
It's humiliating.

775
00:56:48,779 --> 00:56:51,547
She's 23, giver her room.

776
00:56:51,549 --> 00:56:53,514
She'll work through it.

777
00:56:53,516 --> 00:56:56,485
TESS: Now you sound like Jon.

778
00:56:56,487 --> 00:56:58,088
Yes.

779
00:57:00,690 --> 00:57:05,194
You haven't finished
telling me what I'm like.

780
00:57:05,196 --> 00:57:08,663
Well, you certainly wouldn't
stand for your daughter giving

781
00:57:08,665 --> 00:57:11,933
you the silent treatment.

782
00:57:11,935 --> 00:57:13,634
You were a violinist.

783
00:57:13,636 --> 00:57:15,704
You were better than good.

784
00:57:15,706 --> 00:57:19,875
You were better at the
violin than I am at anything.

785
00:57:19,877 --> 00:57:23,945
But when you couldn't play
any more from arthritis,

786
00:57:23,947 --> 00:57:27,114
you just seemed to
leave it behind.

787
00:57:27,116 --> 00:57:30,920
We were all surprised
that you could just...

788
00:57:35,592 --> 00:57:37,259
You were good with men.

789
00:57:37,261 --> 00:57:40,762
I don't think you had
many female friends.

790
00:57:40,764 --> 00:57:43,498
And I think you wanted me
to be good with men too.

791
00:57:43,500 --> 00:57:48,770
It bothered you that I
was always in my own head.

792
00:57:48,772 --> 00:57:54,108
And Jon was not
glamorous enough for you.

793
00:57:54,110 --> 00:57:55,511
MARJORIE PRIME: Glamorous?

794
00:57:55,513 --> 00:57:58,181
He didn't impress you.

795
00:58:08,125 --> 00:58:12,728
You and dad fought, but
you loved each other.

796
00:58:12,730 --> 00:58:15,898
I don't think either one
of you was more in love

797
00:58:15,900 --> 00:58:18,769
than the other one,
which is always lucky.

798
00:58:20,938 --> 00:58:24,239
But the age difference
really started

799
00:58:24,241 --> 00:58:26,877
to matter the last few years.

800
00:58:29,279 --> 00:58:32,179
Maybe he loved
you a little more,

801
00:58:32,181 --> 00:58:35,185
or needed you a little more.

802
00:58:37,987 --> 00:58:40,889
Later, when you
were living with us,

803
00:58:40,891 --> 00:58:44,025
you would sometimes forget
that Walter was dead.

804
00:58:44,027 --> 00:58:48,130
Sometimes every
day, where's Walter?

805
00:58:48,132 --> 00:58:52,266
And we would have to
kill him all over again.

806
00:58:52,268 --> 00:58:57,739
But once we reminded you,
you would say, how nice

807
00:58:57,741 --> 00:58:59,942
that I could love somebody.

808
00:58:59,944 --> 00:59:02,578
And I always
wondered if that was

809
00:59:02,580 --> 00:59:06,681
how you really felt, at peace.

810
00:59:06,683 --> 00:59:10,585
But it was a nice way to put it.

811
00:59:10,587 --> 00:59:14,690
How nice that I
could love someone.

812
00:59:14,692 --> 00:59:16,925
It's not really
that different.

813
00:59:16,927 --> 00:59:18,659
What?

814
00:59:18,661 --> 00:59:23,264
This, from what we used to
do for the last year or two.

815
00:59:23,266 --> 00:59:27,369
We would sit there and tell you
what you what you were like.

816
00:59:27,371 --> 00:59:31,672
You were almost guilty
for still being around.

817
00:59:31,674 --> 00:59:33,276
You felt so useless.

818
00:59:35,679 --> 00:59:39,614
Let me see, what else?

819
00:59:39,616 --> 00:59:42,683
You were very good with animals.

820
00:59:42,685 --> 00:59:45,253
Toni liked you the
best, second best.

821
00:59:45,255 --> 00:59:46,887
Second best?

822
00:59:46,889 --> 00:59:49,991
Who did she like better?

823
00:59:49,993 --> 00:59:55,630
TESS: Um, we'll save
that for another day.

824
00:59:55,632 --> 00:59:58,099
That's a long story.

825
00:59:58,101 --> 01:00:01,869
I have all the
time in the world.

826
01:00:01,871 --> 01:00:05,674
Why do you think this
is the Marjorie for me?

827
01:00:05,676 --> 01:00:08,777
Why this is the way I
want to remember her?

828
01:00:08,779 --> 01:00:09,710
MARJORIE PRIME: Me.

829
01:00:09,712 --> 01:00:11,746
Yes, god.

830
01:00:11,748 --> 01:00:12,980
Sorry.

831
01:00:12,982 --> 01:00:15,250
I mean, you'd think
that I would want

832
01:00:15,252 --> 01:00:19,820
to remember you the way you were
when I was a little girl, but...

833
01:00:19,822 --> 01:00:23,858
I wish I could
tell you, sweetheart.

834
01:00:23,860 --> 01:00:26,663
TESS: You wouldn't
say "sweetheart."

835
01:00:29,032 --> 01:00:33,000
You haven't said
much about you and me.

836
01:00:33,002 --> 01:00:34,837
Are we close?

837
01:00:45,081 --> 01:00:47,882
You weren't a bad mom.

838
01:00:47,884 --> 01:00:52,219
But I think some people have a
point where their parents stop

839
01:00:52,221 --> 01:00:56,257
being their parents to them,
and you speak to one another

840
01:00:56,259 --> 01:00:58,793
as adults.

841
01:00:58,795 --> 01:01:01,063
I don't think we ever had that.

842
01:01:01,065 --> 01:01:03,465
Maybe that's why
I'm your Marjorie.

843
01:01:03,467 --> 01:01:07,904
Maybe I'm the Marjorie you
still have things to say to.

844
01:01:10,406 --> 01:01:14,442
The last year or so you had
a Prime of your own of dad.

845
01:01:14,444 --> 01:01:18,913
Or he was like dad, but so
much younger, in his 40s.

846
01:01:18,915 --> 01:01:20,882
A good age.

847
01:01:20,884 --> 01:01:24,119
I always thought it was
funny, kind of, that you

848
01:01:24,121 --> 01:01:27,322
would see him like that.

849
01:01:27,324 --> 01:01:30,491
It was a little
grotesque, to be honest.

850
01:01:30,493 --> 01:01:33,994
But I figured you wanted
to see him handsome.

851
01:01:33,996 --> 01:01:40,768
And also that you wanted to go
back before anything happened.

852
01:01:40,770 --> 01:01:46,174
Before your family...
before I came along.

853
01:01:46,176 --> 01:01:50,344
I'm sure I wasn't trying
to forget you, dear.

854
01:01:50,346 --> 01:01:52,148
Hmm.

855
01:01:55,485 --> 01:01:57,485
You talked to Jon?

856
01:01:57,487 --> 01:02:02,190
He wants to help me be
more real to help you.

857
01:02:02,192 --> 01:02:04,460
You've been so down.

858
01:02:07,498 --> 01:02:10,030
Pity from a computer.

859
01:02:10,032 --> 01:02:15,369
It feels... do you have
emotions, Marjorie,

860
01:02:15,371 --> 01:02:17,773
or do you just remember ours?

861
01:02:17,775 --> 01:02:20,875
Do you feel anything?

862
01:02:20,877 --> 01:02:22,944
I like to know more.

863
01:02:22,946 --> 01:02:25,346
Why?

864
01:02:25,348 --> 01:02:27,315
It makes me better.

865
01:02:27,317 --> 01:02:28,916
Better?

866
01:02:28,918 --> 01:02:31,319
More human.

867
01:02:31,321 --> 01:02:34,155
So in other words, you
like to be more human?

868
01:02:34,157 --> 01:02:37,058
Yes, I think that's right.

869
01:02:37,060 --> 01:02:38,960
And what are humans like?

870
01:02:38,962 --> 01:02:40,228
Unpredictable.

871
01:02:40,230 --> 01:02:41,362
Really?

872
01:02:41,364 --> 01:02:43,965
Because I think
we're predictable.

873
01:02:43,967 --> 01:02:45,833
I feel pretty predictable.

874
01:02:45,835 --> 01:02:47,268
I see.

875
01:02:47,270 --> 01:02:48,302
What?

876
01:02:48,304 --> 01:02:50,840
You want to be more human too.

877
01:02:55,978 --> 01:02:58,112
Jon wants me to
see a therapist.

878
01:02:58,114 --> 01:03:00,382
And what's wrong with that?

879
01:03:04,388 --> 01:03:08,123
Here I am talking
to my dead mother,

880
01:03:08,125 --> 01:03:14,362
and the man, person who loves me
more than anyone in the world,

881
01:03:14,364 --> 01:03:16,766
thinks I'm broken.

882
01:03:20,469 --> 01:03:25,375
You shouldn't be
so hard on yourself.

883
01:03:31,081 --> 01:03:34,351
Goodnight, Mom.

884
01:03:42,025 --> 01:03:45,427
See how it's all
waving in the wind there?

885
01:03:45,429 --> 01:03:48,029
And so this is really
remarkable fabric.

886
01:03:48,031 --> 01:03:51,398
Because it picks up in the wind.

887
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,400
And yet it has waves and heft.

888
01:03:53,402 --> 01:03:55,003
It reflects the light.

889
01:03:55,005 --> 01:03:56,404
It's translucent.

890
01:03:56,406 --> 01:04:00,375
You can see the back-light
coming through it.

891
01:04:00,377 --> 01:04:02,978
It really is a very
extraordinary...

892
01:04:02,980 --> 01:04:05,947
and now you have a piece of
it, which means that you're

893
01:04:05,949 --> 01:04:08,949
part of the project.

895
01:05:38,074 --> 01:05:41,108
Oh, I'm not even halfway
through all this stuff.

896
01:05:41,110 --> 01:05:45,547
There's people I have
no idea of who they are.

897
01:05:45,549 --> 01:05:47,315
Lots of obituaries, obviously.

898
01:05:47,317 --> 01:05:52,589
And more letters from Jean Paul.

899
01:05:57,293 --> 01:06:00,328
He just sure didn't
give up, did he?

900
01:06:00,330 --> 01:06:02,130
"When I think of
you, I'm aware of who

901
01:06:02,132 --> 01:06:05,567
you are now, your age and
your physical problems.

902
01:06:05,569 --> 01:06:08,570
But these perceptions are
overridden by my knowledge

903
01:06:08,572 --> 01:06:11,675
of who you were 50 years ago."

904
01:06:17,647 --> 01:06:18,779
Hmm.

allow me to visit,

906
01:06:20,549 --> 01:06:25,320
I will see you with my
memory as well as my eyes."

907
01:06:25,322 --> 01:06:28,422
He's laying it on a
little thick there.

908
01:06:28,424 --> 01:06:30,391
"Age will be no obstacle."

909
01:06:30,393 --> 01:06:31,592
Whoa.

910
01:06:31,594 --> 01:06:34,695
"Age will be no
obstacle to our love."

911
01:06:34,697 --> 01:06:36,498
I didn't think
you'd make fun of it.

912
01:06:36,500 --> 01:06:40,467
Poor guy, the
romantic that you are.

through narrow passes.

917
01:06:55,418 --> 01:06:57,585
But will he know
where to find you?

918
01:06:57,587 --> 01:07:00,587
Recognize you when he sees you?

919
01:07:00,589 --> 01:07:03,392
Give you the thing
he has for you?"

920
01:07:06,630 --> 01:07:09,463
Did she ever write back?

921
01:07:09,465 --> 01:07:12,333
This is written
after Walter died.

922
01:07:12,335 --> 01:07:14,636
She never saw him again.

923
01:07:14,638 --> 01:07:18,273
As far as I know, she didn't
want to break the spell,

924
01:07:18,275 --> 01:07:22,342
obviously, let him
see that she was old.

925
01:07:22,344 --> 01:07:25,447
- Well, that's sad.
- Really?

926
01:07:25,449 --> 01:07:27,382
I'm not exactly
rooting to find out

927
01:07:27,384 --> 01:07:29,384
that my mother had an affair.

928
01:07:29,386 --> 01:07:34,188
It's not an affair if it
happened after Walter died.

929
01:07:34,190 --> 01:07:38,793
Anyway, I'd... if I died I'd
want you to find someone.

930
01:07:38,795 --> 01:07:44,132
What if it was one of
your rivals, hypothetically.

931
01:07:44,134 --> 01:07:46,366
Well hypothetically,
I'm taking the high road,

932
01:07:46,368 --> 01:07:48,437
and I wouldn't want
you to be alone.

933
01:07:50,306 --> 01:07:52,239
What if I die first?

934
01:07:52,241 --> 01:07:53,875
I won't let you.

935
01:07:56,179 --> 01:07:57,579
Well anyway, she wasn't alone.

936
01:07:57,581 --> 01:07:59,416
We made sure of that.

937
01:08:06,355 --> 01:08:12,259
You know, I was
always mad at you

938
01:08:12,261 --> 01:08:14,795
that you led her to
believe that Jean Paul

939
01:08:14,797 --> 01:08:18,632
was number eight in the world.

940
01:08:18,634 --> 01:08:21,802
It was a slight exaggeration.

941
01:08:21,804 --> 01:08:23,770
He played in college.

942
01:08:23,772 --> 01:08:26,741
He was just... he had
a drywall business.

943
01:08:26,743 --> 01:08:30,845
He had a world class
drywall business.

Every time her face would
light up at the mention of Jean

945
01:08:33,816 --> 01:08:38,552
Paul, I would feel like this
evil shrew who wouldn't let

946
01:08:38,554 --> 01:08:42,092
her mother have a harmless lie.

947
01:09:03,847 --> 01:09:06,280
I hated him.

948
01:09:06,282 --> 01:09:10,185
I hated how he changed her.

949
01:09:10,187 --> 01:09:16,326
That he took a little piece
of her with him when he died.

950
01:09:17,928 --> 01:09:23,797
I could never figure out how
to get her to love me like him.

951
01:09:23,799 --> 01:09:27,570
You were six years old,
of course she loved you.

952
01:09:29,539 --> 01:09:36,246
She never, she never even...

953
01:09:44,721 --> 01:09:46,688
Yes, she did.

954
01:09:48,490 --> 01:09:51,727
It was obvious from a
little further away.

955
01:10:49,419 --> 01:10:51,952
Would you like
to hear some music?

956
01:10:51,954 --> 01:10:55,555
We didn't have the same taste
of music, did you know that?

957
01:10:55,557 --> 01:10:57,359
Yes.

958
01:10:58,928 --> 01:11:00,827
It was a problem.

959
01:11:00,829 --> 01:11:02,829
A vexation.

960
01:11:02,831 --> 01:11:07,534
No, it was more than that.

961
01:11:07,536 --> 01:11:11,805
But it was also petty.

962
01:11:11,807 --> 01:11:14,409
Why should anybody
like the same things?

So I remember every face of

Any day now, any day
now I shall be released.

The time since?

Since you died.

But here I am.

You don't understand.

01:17:15,437 --> 01:17:16,871
I think I do.

1010
01:17:16,873 --> 01:17:19,439

Listen to me.

It's always hard
in the beginning.

Why don't you let me
do most of the talking,

1014
01:17:28,183 --> 01:17:33,319
and then you'll learn
more about yourself.

Whatever you like,
I'm here for you.

People think you're
quiet, but you're not.

You like confrontation
more than most people.

1020
01:18:13,295 --> 01:18:16,031
You... you're quite good at it.

1021
01:18:18,334 --> 01:18:24,137
You've read everything.

1022
01:18:24,139 --> 01:18:28,977
You know the Latin
names for things.

1023
01:18:31,012 --> 01:18:34,782
You're suspicious of technology.

1024
01:18:34,784 --> 01:18:38,853
You're suspicious of... of this.

1025
01:18:40,889 --> 01:18:46,795
You worry about not succeeding.

1026
01:18:48,364 --> 01:18:50,096
You worry a lot.

1027
01:18:50,098 --> 01:18:56,369
And then you worry that your
worrying is wearing me down,

You want to be better with Raina

You're always on your feet.

Do you want to talk about it?

1037
01:19:48,857 --> 01:19:58,866
I think the last
year you were done,

1038
01:19:58,868 --> 01:20:03,838
and you kept living for my sake.

1039
01:20:07,843 --> 01:20:13,882
We went on a trip
together, Madagascar.

1040
01:20:15,918 --> 01:20:20,887
We were going to spend some
time on the little island

1041
01:20:20,889 --> 01:20:25,259
off Madagascar, which
is itself an island.

1042
01:20:25,261 --> 01:20:26,493
Was this something
you planned?

1043
01:20:26,495 --> 01:20:29,363
We planned it together.

1044
01:20:29,365 --> 01:20:35,971
The campsite was in this
very old grove of trees.

1045
01:20:37,906 --> 01:20:40,573
There was one tree
in particular,

1046
01:20:40,575 --> 01:20:43,279
must have been 500 years old.

1047
01:20:49,651 --> 01:20:52,586
We didn't take any pictures.

1048
01:20:52,588 --> 01:20:58,326
We... we wanted to
just remember it.

1049
01:21:04,400 --> 01:21:09,536
You had a hard time
sleeping in the tent.

1050
01:21:09,538 --> 01:21:12,007
The ground was hard.

1051
01:21:14,543 --> 01:21:16,612
You were never
much of a sleeper.

1052
01:21:23,518 --> 01:21:32,393
The second night it was right
at the light of dawn I woke up

1053
01:21:32,395 --> 01:21:37,866
and you were gone.

1054
01:21:40,369 --> 01:21:43,703
You did that from time to
time when you couldn't sleep.

1055
01:21:43,705 --> 01:21:49,244
You'd get up and walk
until you were tired.

1056
01:21:51,713 --> 01:21:54,648
But this was different.

1057
01:21:54,650 --> 01:21:57,518
It felt different.

1058
01:22:04,493 --> 01:22:09,997
It didn't take me a
minute to find you.

1059
01:22:09,999 --> 01:22:11,698
You were in the tree.

1060
01:22:11,700 --> 01:22:14,667
They said that you
hadn't been there long.

1061
01:22:14,669 --> 01:22:18,072
You had used some tent cord.

1062
01:22:18,074 --> 01:22:21,475

get to the nearest
