You sure everything's okay?

Of course.

Who's there?

Sorry, Pops, it's just me.

Mikey...

what are you doing here?

There was a problem with the plane

and it was overbooked and they said that, you know,

to wait around for a little while,

'cause they're probably gonna bump some people, but

it's probably gonna be hours, so...

Anyway, I just figured I'd leave tomorrow instead.

Hey, Flo, look who's here.

Flo.

Hey, Ma. Hi.

Hi.

What are you doing?

There were problems with the plane, and...

they were gonna wait around for other people

to get bumped.

Anyway, just go back to sleep.

- Everything's okay, yeah? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Okay. I'm glad we're gonna see you one more day.

You know what?

I'm just gonna put you down for one second, okay?

I'll be right back, just gonna grab that.

Stay right there, okay?

Mikey.

Where are you?

Yeah, yeah, that airline's awful.

When will you be back?

What was that? I missed the last part.

Oh yeah, hmm, fine.

Can't you hear? Those are tears of joy.

Okay. Good night, Michael.

See you tomorrow.

Love you too.

Okay, up we go.

That's over.

Ma?

Yeah, I just...

I was on hold with them for, like, an hour.

I don't know, they kept transferrin' me

like, ten times, and finally,

they put me on with their headquarters in

Georgia or India, I have no idea,

where it's very far away.

Yeah.

Um... no, they said that...

they said that I could call back tomorrow morning

or buy a new ticket.

Yeah, tomorrow morning.

I don't either.

Um...

No... yeah, I'm gonna come back as soon as I can.

Yes.

Yeah.

No, I...

Just will you give Ana a kiss for me, please?

I love you.

Mom, that smells good.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Yeah.

How is it?

Mmm...

Okay, come on.

Oh my God, it's good. +Okay.

- Yeah. - Okay, good.

Okay, would you get the dishes?

Yes.

Okay, and the forks and the napkins.

And when's your flight?

I don't know, the whole thing has been so annoying.

I just explained the whole thing to Laura.

They canceled my flight, I was on hold forever,

they kept switching me to all the different places,

and I don't know.

So I'm probably gonna go tonight or tomorrow, or...

it's gonna be fine.

And I talked to Laura, it's fine,

and they're both good,

they had a great day at the park today,

- so it's good. - Okay.

Yeah. +All right. I hope...

Okay. Yeah.

Did you put vinegar in this?

Yes.

Vinegar is my enemy.

Well, he likes it.

And anyway,

don't have it, it's okay.

It's... you don't need the oil.

I'm making these things happen with projected light.

Um... with the same...

You think you're seeing the same things are happening

in terms of, uh,

making things appear, not appear,

on the picture plane.

Wow.

I's... anyway, this is really, really beautiful.

It's amazing.

The space is 50, so good.

This is a painting.

I don't know about a paint...

I wouldn't call this a painting.

Why not?

Doesn't use pigment?

No, it isn't that.

Robert. - What?

Hey, man.

Yeah, it's... fuckin' airplane.

Dude, I wanna get back, it's freezing here.

No, I can... I can take care of everything

when I get back there,

be back on Tuesday,

or even if I'm back Wednesday,

I'm sure I won't be, but...

even if I... Probably be there Tuesday.

But, um...

Um...

Do me a favor.

If anyone asks, you just kinda...

Will you cover for me?

Thanks, man.

I appreciate it.

Mad Mike!

Mad Mike.

Honey, did you call me? No, Ma.

Brigitte.

"What the fuck is your problem?"

"Fine, so I said pretty fucked-up things.

You know I didn't mean them.

I hear all the shit you say, like..."

"I didn't do that shit to you.

You want me to hate you?

Well, I do.

I fuckin' hate you 50 much..."

“...right now for what you're putting me through,

and I'm sure you're just totally getting off

"on watching me suffer, aren't you?"

I hate you for we've never met.

"Why don't you fucking give up

on trying to make me so jealous?"

I love you so much.

"You treat me like...

you treat me like shit.""

You just won't get, get over it.

Brigitte.

"You never gave a shit... No, obviously not."

"The problem is, I'm getting sick

of trying to figure out what I did that was so wrong.”

'Cause I knew [ loved you.

You stupid whore.

You stu... you stupid whore.

Always asking for more

Mikey? - Sorry, Dad.

Is that the radio?

No, I just found a...

some old songs from high school.

Please play quieter, okay? - Yeah, okay.

Well, at first, it wasn't true.

Fuck, fuck... fuck, fuck you,

I hope you die too.

You were my first, I'll be your last.

You'll never forget our early past.

You'll never forget,

never forget all the lies and deceit.

You call me after school, you say you're not well.

When I ask what's wrong, you say you can't tell, tell.

Well, fuck, fuck, fuck you, I hope you die too.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you,

I hope you die too.

Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck you.

Better find someone new

Hey, Mom, look who's here.

Hi, Nan.

ritzy-titsy, you know, coffee shop now.

It's a new New York, and I just...

I been here the whole time,

I can't even get adjusted to it.

You must be, like, in total shock over this shit.

So what was it like in there?

Ugh, man, the fuckin' worst.

I'm never goin' back.

18 months.

But you know what?

I'm not sorry I went.

Yeah, 'cause it built me up.

- Yeah? - Yeah, it made me see

a whole different aspect of life,

a whole different way of running my life.

At first, I was just a lethargic, you know,

had no direction.

But I started running and I started, you know,

thinking there was a way out of all this mess.

And after the running, I started lifting weights

and I started... My mind got right

and everything kinda just fell into place, you know?

Good.

Hi, Mikey. How are you?

I'm good, how are you?

I heard that you're in California.

Yeah.

How is it there? +It's good.

It's good, it's really good.

Yeah, Mom, Mikey's not a virgin anymore.

Is this an intervention?

No.

Some soup?

We're concerned, Mikey.

We like having you here,

you know we like having you visit,

we enjoy it.

So what's the problem?

You're supposed to be here for a few days, and it's much longer.

Something's wrong, and, uh,

we'd like you to tell us what it is.

Please, Mikey.

Nothing.

Nothing.

Something's happening.

Don't you need to return home to your family, to your work?

Are you asking me to leave?

No, it's okay, 'cause if you are,

you just have to ask, and I'll go.

No, no, sit down, sit down.

We just want you to speak with us.

Did something happen at home?

With Laura?

Is there somebody else?

I knew it.

How could she, with a newborn?

It's not all her fault.

There's other factors... involved.

There always are.

What happened?

You don't have to speak, it's okay.

It's all right.

You can stay here as long as you want.

I think I'm gonna go outside, get some air, "cause I feel..."

Oh, shit.

Oh, shit.

Fuck.

Listen, whatever you do, please just don't get involved.

I need to handle this my way.

I'm... I'm gonna go out for a minute.

- Do you know where you're going? - No, I don't.

I'm just gonna go take a walk and probably get a coffee.

- Do you have money? - I'm fine.

Okay, take some money, please.

All right, I'll see you soon.

Here, okay.

I changed my mind.

Mikey?

Mikey?

Mikey.

Mikey.

Mikey.

- Hey, Tom. - Hey, Laura.

What's up?

Oh, you know, I just wondered

if Mikey's back from New York yet?

- Not yet. - Oh, okay.

'Cause I'm dying to play some backgammon and...

Hey, look, I was just going to the supermarket.

I was just wondering if, uh,

you need anything, because I could...

Oh, that's so sweet of you, Tom.

How nice.

No, we're fine, no.

- Thank you. - Are you sure?

- I'm sure. - Oh, all right.

What about something for the baby, you know,

some of that mashed stuff, I don't know,

mashed carrots and bananas

or, I don't know, broccoli, whatever.

Whatever they like.

No, we're okay. Thank you though.

Well, look, if, uh, if you need anything,

don't be afraid to ask, you know where I am,

just around the corner.

- Okay, I will. - Okay, cool.

Um, okay.

- All right. - Bye.

By him?

I don't know, they don't mention...

I have a book here.

Conversations with, uh,

abstra... abstra... Abstract expressionis...

Expressionists.

But I think it includes him.

Yeah, and it also says

this is gonna be, like, the last of the abstract...

You know, they now... They'll now have

the last work of... Of the abstract expressionists,

in terms of what they consider to be the first...

That's bull.

There's people, they-they never got,

like, Max, for instance.

No, but they mean of that generation.

That generation is, you know, there's hidden people

we don't know. «No.

And maybe they don't know either.

And there... and now there's these art conservators.

-Who's building it? +I don't really know who,

but there is gonna be a museum in Denver.

You know, they can show from the "20s, the '30s, the '40s."

- Yeah. - They can show, you know...

That doesn't bother me.

- Think that's good. - Yeah.

Yeah, yeah,

Well... - He's been working.

I mean, he had been working

and he produced an enormous amount.

He's not really up hiding it.

The museum will... This museum will show,

but they're not gonna show thousands of works.

No, they say, um...

He said we can clear the whole museum and just do drawings.

He said, the challenging question is whether people

will come for repeat visits to see stills art.

Mikey, we're going to Chinatown.

You wanna join us?

Can't.

Shall we bring you back something?

No, thanks, I'm gonna make something here.

Okay.

We'll see you in a little while.

Bye.

Bye, Mike.

Yeah, I know, it's crazy.

I, um...

I just came here for work, and...

I thought it would be really nice to reconnect.

Okay.

S... so, 10 a.m. tomorrow.

All right,

Can you hang on one second?

Uh, Brigitte, that's actually my other line.

Um, so, I'll see you then,

Okay, thanks.

Bye.

Um, it's Laura,

Hi, I was...

I was hoping to speak to you both.

I'm not sure what Mikey's been telling you,

but we've expected him home a while ago now.

I don't really understand where he is or what he's doing.

His phone's off,

and it seems like he won't speak to me,

and I'm here faking care of... of Ana and everything.

So please, I would appreciate if you could, um,

give me some insight to why he's not coming home.

So please call me back.

Thanks.

Bye.

Message deleted.

Looks very good.

Okay.

I'm just gonna go check on the pie.

Okay. Yeah.

So...

What?

For what?

For whatever happened back then,

Wow.

Well, um...

Get fuckin' shit outta my system.

Sweatin' that shit right outta my system, man.

What are you listening to?

Indigo Girls, man.

Every time I heard them when I was locked up,

it made me feel like I was free.

There's more than one answer to these questions.

Pointing me in a crooked line.

And the less I seek my source for some definitive.

- Hey, listen to it, man. - I don't need to hear it.

- Indigo Girls. - Ah, yeah.

Closer I am to fine, yeah

I went to see the doctor of philosophy.

With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee.

He never did marry or see a B-grade movie.

He graded my performance.

He said he could see through me

I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind.

Got my paper and I was free

I went to the doctor

I went to the mountains
