Original subtitles

HARRY: We´re late. The call sounds in two minutes.

ANDY: Well, we wouldn´t wanna miss the call, would we?

HARRY: Stay with me.

Brothers.

Oh, my God.

Hey, where are we, Istanbul?

It´s a bit of felt and a tassel, get over it.

What are we doing here again?

Joe Morris forced me to bring you.

How?

Suffice it to say that when Joe Morris...

...chapter president...

...possessor of sole discretionary authority...

...over appointments to the financial committee

asks a favor you don´t question it.

Why does he want me?

I mean, there´s so many other more worthy candidates.

I have no idea.

Frankly, I don´t really see you as fitting the Bighorn profile.

[HORN BLOWS]

Hurry up, the pledge.

The pledge?

[HARRY CLEARS THROAT]

What is that?

Horns.

As in bighorn sheep.

Our state animal.

JOE: I sure am glad you could join us tonight, Andy.

And I´ll tell you candidly,

I want your membership in the lodge.

Well, I´m just so flattered that you would

think of me as Bighorn material.

Lovely stables.

Very Poe.

Katie.

Didn´t know you were in here.

You remember Dr. Brown, don´t you?

At the recital.

-Hi. -Hi.

Better go inside, I don´t want you to catch cold.

-I have to bring Maple in. -Alright.

KATE: Okay. Bye. -Bye.

She´s very beautiful. And gifted too.

I know that Ephram was envious of the way she played.

She has a great talent, if she doesn´t waste it.

And rides too, huh?

JOE: Oh, yeah.

She´s loved horses ever since she could talk.

I promised my daughter one when we moved here.

I´m hoping she´ll forget.

Katie used to spend all her time here.

Now, of course, boys have come into the picture.

Oh, I´m not there yet.

My daughter still thinks she is a boy.

JOE: Heh. I´ll tell you...

...the amount of hate you can feel for these guys...

...I didn´t know that I had it in me.

Well, they can´t all be that bad.

Once upon a time, we were those guys.

I wouldn´t feel comfortable just telling anybody this...

...but she took up with that piano teacher, Matt.

You know how romantic a young girl is?

This guy broke her heart.

Well, she´s young. I´m sure she´s distraught, but in time--

In time.

This bastard...

...he didn´t just leave her...

...he left her pregnant.

I had no idea, I´m sorry.

I need your help, Andy.

I need someone to take care of this quickly and quietly.

Uh....

Listen, Joe, I´m-- I´m not a--

You´re outside the community, you don´t share these people´s

idealism.

You´re a pragmatist, like myself.

And Kate´s mother is not to be involved, can´t be involved.

Her faith is very important to her.

This kind of thing would kill her.

This is between you and me.

Bring her into my office tomorrow, I´ll talk to her.

Thank you.

I really do hope you´ll join.

The lodge.

Guys, pancakes.

Pancakes look like an ad.

Your domesticity is starting to scare me.

You and me both. Delia?

I can´t do my braid, will you do it?

Guys can´t do it, it´s a genetic thing.

-Talk me through this. -Divide it into three parts.

-Three equal parts? DELIA: Mm-hm.

Horizontally or vertically?

Put the right part over the center...

...then the left part over the right.

The one that used to be the center?

-I´ll just do a ponytail. -Just sit down and eat.

DELIA: Bus. -Oh. Sorry.

You have to buy a present for Arnie´s birthday...

...before you pick me up from Nina´s.

[SIGHS]

I was doing so well.

ANDY: Were you, uh...?

Were you using birth control?

I wanted to get birth control pills

but I didn´t want my mom to find out.

Matt said it would be alright, so I thought it would be.

Have you talked to Matt at all?

Oh. My dad never liked him.

And when he found out about us...

...he did everything he could to get him to leave town.

And it worked.

So Matt doesn´t know anything about this.

No.

He didn´t leave me a number.

I don´t know how to find him.

[SIGHS]

Your father told me that you want an abortion,

is that what you´ve decided?

Yeah, I guess.

And your mother doesn´t know.

[SCOFFS]

She would never understand.

You sure about that?

When she found out about us,

she almost kicked me out of the house.

Stuff like this does not happen to her.

Well, you´re 18, Kate, you´re an adult.

You know...

...you could have the baby and put it up for adoption.

There are thousands of couples who are desperate

to have a child.

Or you could keep it.

In some instances, when a girl is young,

the family will raise the child.

And I know you have reservations about your mom...

...but sometimes people can surprise us.

I have to do this.

Why?

Because Matt´s gone...

...and he´s not coming back.

I´m too young to have a baby.

And--

What?

I always thought--

I always thought I was old for my age.

I don´t wanna be this old.

How soon can I do this?

I know this is very difficult for you, Kate,

and you´re being very brave.

I want you to take a couple of days--

No.

--and think about it.

It would help if you talked to someone.

I´m gonna give you a number to call.

I want you to talk to a counselor.

Beverly Getchell is her name.

She specializes in talking to young women...

...about all kinds of issues...

...and she´s very kind.

What is that gonna help?

This procedure can be traumatic, emotionally.

You need to talk to someone who knows this stuff...

...and can work through it with you, okay?

[SNIFFLES]

You know, Kate, whatever choice you make

is gonna be the right one...

...as long as it´s your own.

[SNIFFS]

Delia, have you seen Sam?

He´s asleep behind the lawn chairs in the corner.

NINA: Oh.

Well, I guess there are more exciting

ways to spend an afternoon.

I really appreciate your helping me.

Can I look through the junk jewelry box before I go home?

Don´t worry, I haven´t forgotten.

You can take any necklace you want.

Even--

Even the one with the big glass turtle.

You finding anything good over there?

-Just dust. -Yeah.

Nina?

NINA: What is it, hidden treasure?

-Uh-- -That girl´s naked.

Um, well, you´ve seen naked ladies

in paintings before, right?

Artists have been painting women for hundreds of years.

Those are really big.

You ever hear of artistic license?

Is this magazine for artists?

No, uh, it´s for men, mostly...

...because, uh, they like looking at women.

Why do they like looking at women?

Because women´s bodies are beautiful.

-They are? -Sure.

The way they curve like a flower stem...

...or, um, a musical instrument.

See, uh-- See here?

The way her back is like a violin?

So men look at them to think about how beautiful they are?

Yeah, something like that.

To appreciate their natural loveliness.

Do I have natural loveliness?

Yes.

But I´m not a woman, I´m a girl.

Well, girls have it too.

You´re right, this magazine is neat.

-We can´t throw it away. -Uh--

We can put in the chest with the keepsakes, right?

Right.

She´s a flute and she´s a guitar and she´s a....

-Bongos. -Oh, God.

[STUDENTS CHATTERING]

-Are you talking to yourself? -Ephram.

Hey, uh, you know the spring formal coming up?

It´s kind of hard to miss.

-Uh, do you wanna go? -With you?

No, dude, I´m going with Gemma.

She´s got this cousin, goes to Northern.

Her dad says she can´t go unless Sherri goes.

Well, what´s this Sherri like?

She´s...cute.

You´ve never met her.

She´s related to Gemma, she´s gotta be hot, right?

You´re related to Amy. You´re not hot.

Why doesn´t she have a date?

I don´t know. Is this like a test or something?

Why me?

Ever since that whole Colin thing...

...I´m like a leopard with those guys.

Leper, Bright.

Whatever. Look, you owe it to me, okay?

I took a punch for you.

Alright, but if I do this, this is it, right?

Even-steven.

You could increase the productivity of one of these...

...just by being thoughtful about your dish placement.

Thanks, honey.

Oh! I forgot. Arnie´s present.

-I´m gonna have-- -I found one. At Nina´s.

Well, score another point for super-neighbor.

Will you help me wrap it?

Sure. Can I see what it is?

It´s a surprise.

Oh. Well, maybe I can guess what it is.

Is it animal, vegetable or mineral?

-I don´t know. -Is it bigger than a breadbox?

You can see how big it is.

Is it a puppy? Not a puppy.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

-Is it an aardvark? -No.

-Lemming? -No.

-Uh, Edsel? -No.

Oh, hey, Joe. Everything okay?

I send my daughter to you...

...and you send her back to think about her decision.

Wait, hold on a second, there´s a protocol

to be followed here.

What is that, scaring the daylights

out of an already frightened girl?

No, Kate has to be given time to consider her options.

What do you think she´s been doing anything...

...other than considering her options?

What do you imagine her options are?

Matt?

I tried to find him to get him to accept

responsibility...

...but he´s long gone...

...because he didn´t care about her, and she is terrified.

I took a risk sending her to you.

I can´t afford for anybody to find out about this.

And neither can Katie.

We had an understanding.

I can appreciate how difficult this is.

No, you can´t.

Not until you stand where I´m standing...

...with your daughter destroyed by some predator.

You told me you would do this.

No, I didn´t.

I said that I would talk to her.

This is a complicated decision and one that

Kate´s gonna have to live with the rest of her life.

I wanna make sure she´s comfortable...

...before we proceed down an irrevocable path.

The question isn´t whether Katie´s gonna do this thing.

The question is, are you gonna help her or not?

Can I get you anything, Kate?

Uh, no, thanks, I´m fine.

Dr. Brown will be with you in a minute.

Oh.

Oh, he doesn´t have another patient in there.

He´s just finishing up a call from a hospital out of state.

You guys still live out on Sawyer Road, don´t you?

Yeah.

My first husband and I were out there

for an egg hunt your Grandma May had.

Back in the day.

She was quite the entertainer.

-I remember those egg hunts. -Ha, ha.

Seemed like every kid in the county was there.

Every year, there´d be an egg left over...

...and you´d find it like a week later and it smelled.

[EDNA CHUCKLES]

So did you come here straight from school today?

No, from home.

Did your dad drive you into town?

You guys are quite a ways out there.

Yeah, he dropped me off.

Will he be bringing you by tomorrow for your procedure?

Mr. Randolph´s dropping me in his cab.

My dad has a meeting.

I´m supposed to go over to his office...

...after.

Well...

...it´s good he works so close.

Hi, Kate, come on in.

[CHILDREN SHOUTING]

BOY: Give me that.

MOTHER: Everybody, everybody, presents, come on!

[CHILDREN CHATTERING]

BOY: Ow! GIRL: Sorry.

A glider. Thanks, Bobby.

Oh, "Skytrooper."

[CHILDREN CHATTERING]

BOY 1: I wanna get that. BOY 2: Yeah.

Interesting paper, Delia.

-Thanks, my dad helped me. -Ha, ha.

BOY 1: Oh. BOY 2: What´s that?

[ALL GASP]

MOTHER: Arnie.

-What? It´s mine. MOTHER: Not anymore, it´s not.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

-Ephram. -Uh, is Bright here?

Yeah, hold on a second. Bright, Ephram´s here!

-She´ll be down in a second. -Okay.

Come in.

So you boys are going shopping?

Yeah, something like that.

Your piano recital was great.

I knew you didn´t want me to go but your dad said that--

You know, you don´t have to wait.

Are you trying to get rid of me?

Yes.

You know, Ephram, I know that a lot of this is my fault...

...and things with Colin are weird...

...but given the stuff we´ve been through...

...I thought things would be better than this.

Yeah, me too.

But they´re not, so....

Check it out, dude.

One-handed for easy access.

My suit pants got Velcro in them.

[PARENTS CHATTERING]

Hey, kiddo. Did you have fun?

Sort of.

ANDY: I mean, what were you thinking?

You give my daughter, for reasons inexplicable--

Just let me explain.

--a copy of Penthouse and then you what,

tell her it´d make a great birthday gift?

Could I explain?

Be my guest, I would love to hear this.

I didn´t give Delia anything. She found it in my attic.

You just happened to have porn lying around--

It´s one of Carl´s from a million years ago.

She asked me and I told her it was nothing to be ashamed of.

That was convenient, you were the one she caught with it.

-What am I supposed to do now? -I didn´t tell her that for me.

Kids need to know that it´s okay to look at their bodies.

Delia doesn´t need to think about that stuff, she´s only 9.

She asked me.

And you couldn´t have deflected it in some way?

She´s young for her age,

she doesn´t need to be dealing with this.

You mean, growing up, that kind of stuff?

Okay, alright, we just-- Let´s just agree to disagree,

okay?

But, please, don´t do that again.

You have a lot of nerve.

It´s easy for you to tell me to deflect

her questions, that´s all you ever do.

Talk about convenient, you leave her all day...

...and you never have to answer a damn thing.

And here you are judging me?

Bet you´d never think to thank me.

For what? Making her the Larry Flynt of 4th grade?

For covering your ass.

You think Delia´s not ready for this?

Guess again, you´re not.

But you better deal with it

because kids don´t raise themselves.

[TV PLAYING INDISTINCTLY]

[DOORBELL RINGS]

-Doctor? -Sorry to bother you this late.

Oh, it´s as decent a time as any for you to bother me.

Rose and the kids are still out. Come on in, have a seat.

I just made some popcorn, I was watching the game.

I got a case I´d like your opinion about.

Got you stumped, has it?

Well, ask away.

Well, a young girl came to see me.

Mm-hm.

She´s pregnant and she asked if I´d perform an abortion.

I didn´t know what to tell her, so....

Tell her that she needs to go to Denver...

...to the clinic there, give her their number.

-But she came to see me. -Yes.

But you have no obligation to treat her.

You simply inform her that this is a procedure

that you don´t perform...

...and you send her to where they do.

But this is her town and I´m her doctor. Don´t I...?

Don´t we have a responsibility to--?

No. No, we do not.

There´s a perfectly serviceable clinic in Denver.

Yeah, but if every kid who finds himself

in this predicament has to travel four hours

to some anonymous, sterile clinic...

...isn´t it likely some of them--?

Isn´t your problem. That´s their parents´.

But we´re parents. I think this procedure

should be available to women--

It is, in Denver.

Look, Andy...

[SIGHS]

...this is a small town.

People know what they believe in,

secrets are hard to keep. Stay out of it.

Give the girl a number, a name and leave it at that.

This can´t be the first time. Have you or your father--?

Certainly not.

Andy, for the safety of your family, take my advice.

Doing this thing in this type of town could get a man killed.

-This girl came to me for help. -And she will get help.

Elsewhere.

[ANDY SIGHS]

You´re probably wondering why I´ve gathered you here.

I thought that we should talk.

You´re mad about the magazine.

No, I´m not mad.

-You´re not? -No.

I just wanted to explain to you why your gift

didn´t go over well at the party...

...and help you understand...

...that certain things are best left in a private place...

...or should have their own time and place

if you´re going to look at them.

Not that you should look at them or even that you shouldn´t.

Just--

Am I making a modicum of sense?

What´s a modicum?

Look, sweetie, I understand why

you wanted to look at the magazine. Everybody´s curious.

But people don´t like it when you bring

these things out into the public eye.

Why not?

Most people are embarrassed about

the fact that they wanna look at them.

If everybody´s curious, then why are they embarrassed?

Well, people are embarrassed...

...because, uh, these kinds of things...

...are embarrassing.

I, for instance, am feeling...

...a little bit embarrassed myself right now,

and perhaps you are too...

...simply because we´ve been conditioned...

...to respond that way to these kinds of stimuli.

Do you understand what I´m trying to say?

Can I go watch Cinderella with Sam now?

Sure.

Oh. And Nina said to tell you you can´t come.

[CROWD CHATTERING]

♫ Let me show you ♫

I-- I think my cousin really likes you.

What makes you think that?

Uh, she likes you, alright. As a coat rack.

Well, you know, Sherri has always been,

like, uh, super friendly.

I need a drink.

♫ You´re in the basement ♫

♫ Watching the TV ♫

♫ I´m on the second floor ♫

♫ Watching the ceiling ♫

♫ We sleep underneath.. ♫

-Hey, Ephram. -Hey.

-Oh, sorry. -Thanks.

-You look nice. -Thank you. So do you.

Don´t I look nice?

You look ravishing.

COLIN: Your date´s making out with somebody else.

-Don´t be a jerk. -Well, it´s been a pleasure.

Love to stick around, but I´ve gotta date to be blown off by.

Let´s dance.

-See your supplies arrived? -Yes.

Would you unpack it and set it up in my exam room?

I´ve got some reading to do.

I really appreciate it, I´ve just been swamped.

EDNA: Par for the course.

Pardon?

Oh, it seems to be the way things always go

in this community.

Men make the mess, women clean it up.

I beg your pardon.

[SIGHS]

It´s like this.

See, a man got that girl pregnant,

then another man sends her in here...

...tells a third man what´s supposed to happen to her.

Now this box shows up, you don´t want anything to do with it.

Strike you as ironic?

No. I have these journals to catch up on and I´ve been busy.

You got busy when this thing arrived.

Just like Kate´s dad got busy...

...when she needed a ride to the doctor´s office

to get an abortion.

Suddenly, he just couldn´t seem to make time to give her a lift.

It´s not like I´m blowing this girl off, Edna

I did order the equipment.

I ordered the equipment and I´m unpacking it.

And that´s fine, it´s my job.

But let´s not pretend I´m doing it for any other reason...

...than the fact that it makes you sick to your stomach

to even contemplate it.

This is just something men don´t wanna get close to.

Who does?

The difference is...

...men have the luxury of walking away.

-Are you through? -Not by a long shot.

But I´ve got work to do.

ANDY: You´re right.

You´re absolutely right.

I´ve been stalling on this for three days.

Why? You´ve performed this procedure before.

Only once.

Years ago, while I was still in training.

You didn´t have to, you could opt out...

...if your beliefs so compelled you, but I didn´t.

I´ve always believed that women should have the right to choose.

Julia and I sat on the board together in New York.

She thought it was the most important thing a woman owned.

And I agreed with her.

Then about eight years ago...

...I did a surgery in utero.

It was a spina bifida baby.

I was trying to prevent paralysis,

get the best-case scenario.

The mother wanted to carry to term.

It was a success...

...and then it was a she...

...a patient...

...with a file, a history and a name.

Emily.

Do you know that you can take a picture of a fetus

that´s 54 days old?

All the organs are visible.

Not a person...

...not able to live outside of the womb...

...but a perfect possibility of a person.

Kate Morris has been pregnant for 62 days.

I don´t know when life begins.

I don´t even know...

...if for a scientist, that question is answerable.

But I do know when it ends.

And after this year...

...after losing Julia...

...I just don´t think I can be the one to end it.

I can´t help this girl.

Did you talk to Junior?

Yes.

[SIGHS]

He advised me to send Kate to Denver.

Talk to him again.

[SOFT MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS]

PAGE: Isn´t that pathetic?

Sherri Seavers has been going out with Eric Lane for like ever

six months.

Since he got caught smoking pot in the bathroom

at Saint Sebastian´s...

...her parents won´t let her see him.

So she totally went with Ephram as a Trojan horse.

I had no idea she was that smart.

I´m gonna go talk to him.

Why?

Because he´s all alone and the whole Sherri thing sucks.

Are you gonna rescue him every time?

Every time? He´s my friend.

-I´m your boyfriend. -Why are you like this?

I don´t want you sitting with some guy, out of pity or not.

If you were alone, everyone laughing--

COLIN: Yeah, I´d leave.

The guy´s a glutton for punishment.

-Whatever. I´m going over there. -Don´t.

Or what?

Or don´t come back.

Are you serious?

If you go over there, Amy, don´t come back.

I can´t believe you.

I´ll get another ride home.

Is this seat taken?

Um, I´m afraid you can´t sit here.

This is a very exclusive outcast table.

You have to have a special pass.

I think I have one.

Well, there have been a lot of fakes going around.

Who gave you yours?

Colin Hart.

Well, you´re probably okay then.

-What are you doing? -Hmm.

Proving a point, I guess.

What kind of point?

Something about--

I have no idea.

Since it appears the three people

that weren´t already laughing at me...

...have now joined the mocking hordes...

...you think we could prove this point on the dance floor?

HARRY: Well...

...if it´s not the last thing you´d expect,

it´s pretty damn close.

Andy Brown, left-wing reactionary.

You picked a fine time to become a conservative.

Well, I´ve always had great timing.

So it was my mother who told you to call me again?

I guess she wanted you to lend me moral support...

...while I sent this girl off to the clinic.

I see.

I´m not like you, Harold.

I don´t have religious beliefs to fall back on...

...or any kind of moral stance.

I just have this feeling in my gut...

...that this is beyond me.

[SIGHS]

Well, it´s an impossible dilemma...

...no right answer.

My father lived through the times when

women either couldn´t get abortions...

...or had to go out of state, out of the country...

...get some botched attempt...

...or try to do it themselves.

Oh, he would tell me stories of women coming to him...

...cut, bruised, infected...

...traumatized, sterile, worse.

[CLEARS THROAT]

He said that every town had a secret life...

...there was someone in every community

who people knew would help.

And in this town, that person was my father.

So when I came here to join his practice...

...he told me that it would be on one condition.

That he never wanted those horrific things...

...to happen to women again.

Not on his watch.

And not on mine.

But you were so adamant when I came to you.

I don´t do this when I don´t have to.

It´s hard enough when I do.

And I´m terrified every time I think

of what could happen to my kids and to my wife.

I was trying to protect you.

Your children, they only have one parent left.

[SIGHS]

Anyway...

...I felt sure that in the end, you would do it...

...commie pinko that you are.

Who would have thought?

[CHUCKLES]

I have known a lot of good doctors in my life--

Don´t.

Don´t. Don´t ascribe some altruistic,

grand political motives to me, doctor.

I´m not that kind of man.

I made an oath...

...not to some political cause, but to my father.

Have her come to my office tomorrow after business hours.

[HARRY SIGHS]

Before we go any further, I have to ask you one last time, Kate.

Are you comfortable with your decision?

This all happened so fast.

I found out and I was afraid to tell my dad...

...and then I did...

...and this avalanche started.

He told me that I had to do this and he made me come here.

There was all this pressure

before I even had time to think about it.

I felt like someone was pushing me to do something

that I didn´t wanna do.

And then you told me that I didn´t have to do this...

...that there were other choices.

So I started to think about the possibility

of doing something else.

And that´s when I realized...

...this is the best thing for everyone.

This is the best thing for me.

Okay.

Let´s go, then.

Where are we going?

Across the street.

MAN: Two hundred and sixteen.

COLIN: So.

AMY: So.

Are you going to apologize?

For what?

You know what I´m talking about.

I´ve chosen you over Ephram about a thousand times, Colin.

I´ve chosen you over everyone else.

There are all these of people in my life who I care about...

...who I´ve just treated badly or stepped all over...

...because all I cared about was you.

They stuck by me.

Ephram stuck by me.

He sent me back to you when I was discouraged...

...about you never remembering me or caring.

He told me to keep going.

You´re right, Colin.

I was wrong to be mad at you.

It´s me I should be mad at...

...for not being a better friend to Ephram.

Because he hasn´t just been a good friend to me...

...he´s been a good friend to us.

-Kids in the other room? -Mm-hm.

Watching a movie or something?

Finishing Cinderella.

Where did they leave off?

The, uh, part where the wicked stepsisters

make fools of themselves.

You were right, I shouldn´t have yelled at you.

I´m sorry.

-You knew I´d come back? -Mm-hm.

To apologize?

Yup.

I´m that predictable?

Yeah, pretty much. Heh.

[ANDY SIGHS]

Look, I can´t really tell you what´s been going on

in the last couple of days because it´s work

and it´s confidential...

...but it´s made me think a lot about Delia.

She´s growing up so fast.

It´s not like I´m not here for it, obviously...

...but sometimes it just seems so confusing and out of control.

Welcome to parenthood.

And the amount I don´t know...

...about cooking and tying hair ribbons

and everything else that happens...

...is nothing compared to what I don´t know...

...about helping a girl become a woman.

Well...

...she´s gonna do it with or without you

and you´re all she´s got...

...so the best you can do is better than the alternative.

-I guess. -You know, and she´s--

She´s got me too.

If you wanna make it up to me...

...I´ve got this vacancy in my porn collection.

Mom, I´m home.

Mom?

Hey, Mom, when´s dinner?

SHARON: Colin?

Colin? Colin?

Colin. Colin.

Oh, my God, Colin, my baby. Baby.

EDNA: Hey. -Hi.

-How are you feeling? -Okay.

EDNA: The doctors and I thought...

...maybe instead of you waiting at your dad´s office...

...I could give you a ride, if you want.

-Okay. -Good.

Here, you take my coat.

It´s cold out there, we wanna keep you warm.

-I´ll take that. -Thank you.

Are you okay?

I don´t know.

I don´t think so.

Oh, sweetheart, here we go.

Let´s get you home.

Oh, you reading already?

I thought maybe I could read you a story.

I´m right at the good part.

Oh, I understand.

But you could read over my shoulder, if you want.

Oh, that´s okay if you´re in the thick of it.

I just like it when we read together sometimes.

You know, Delia...

...lately, I´ve been wishing that you had an older sister...

...because you´re coming #to an age...

...where there are so many things you´re gonna wanna know

and I´m probably not the person you´re gonna wanna ask.

I know it´s hard because sometimes you feel...

...more comfortable telling things to a mom...

...than you would feel telling them to a dad.

But I want you to try and tell me, okay?

And I´ll do my best...

...to help you the way that Mom would have.

And who knows...

...maybe it´ll get easier for both of us.

You´re doing okay, Dad. Except for the braids.

Goodnight, sweetie.

I love you.

Wait, Dad.

We could read this book.

You´ve read that a million times already.

Well, you´ve only read it to me.

What if I read it to you this time?

"The unicorn lived in a lilac wood and she lived all alone.

She was very old, though she did not know it...

...and she was no longer the careless color of sea foam...

...but rather the color of snow falling on a moonlit night.

But her eyes were still clear and unwearied...

...and she still moved like a shadow on the sea."
