161
00:06:45,492 --> 00:06:48,364
After that, Reese was too
ashamed to see

162
00:06:48,364 --> 00:06:52,281
his real mom again,
so he began to lean on this one.

[ Knock on door ]

The original mother simply
couldn't imagine

165
00:06:58,113 --> 00:07:02,813
what she had done to make
her child reject her so coldly,

166
00:07:02,813 --> 00:07:06,121
but his doll was determined
not to feel guilty.

167
00:07:06,121 --> 00:07:08,515
It wasn't her fault that woman
couldn't manage

168
00:07:08,515 --> 00:07:10,952
to keep her own son loyal,

169
00:07:10,952 --> 00:07:13,911
so they settled into
a cozy companionship --

170
00:07:13,911 --> 00:07:16,610
long afternoons
connecting over tea

171
00:07:16,610 --> 00:07:18,176
with an ease
between them,

172
00:07:18,176 --> 00:07:21,397
although her prayers
often kept him up at night.

00:07:21,397 --> 00:07:23,747
Oh, God, oh, yeah, God.

and leaving tiny casseroles
around the house.

They were competitive critters
who did favors

and tricks
to prove their love

without asking for anything
in return

187
00:07:58,216 --> 00:08:01,350

"I don't need anything,

so many others not lucky enough
to know a mother's touch.

that he was ready

the queen mother just happened
to grow old
