Original subtitles

- You know what today is, don't you?

It's the second anniversary of your brother's divorce.

- Oh, I didn't get him a card.

- You should see him

Sitting over there with the dog.

It is so sad.

Oh, your father's trying everything

To get him to snap out of it.

- What's he doing?

- He's yelling, "snap out of it."

- Why is robert thinking about his divorce?

He's got this great girlfriend now.

Where is amy?

- She's out of town on business.

Does she care that robert is sensitive?

- Ma.

- Does she care about this is the day that--

- Ma, ma, ma!

What do you want?

- I want you to be a brother.

Go to him.

- What?

- Take him out. Spend an evening with him.

Make him feel better.

Your father and I are out of material.

- I'm not going over there, all right?

I wouldn't know what to say.

- I don't care what you say.

Just get him out of the house.

It's depressing.

- I really don't believe you people.

He's your son. He's your brother.

None of you can talk to him?

- Where have you been?

- Look, robert's going through a tough time.

All he needs is someone to listen to him,

To understand what he's going through.

- You go.

- No, not me.

I mean, if I went,

It would only be embarrassing for robert.

He would know that you're all over here talking about him.

- She's right. Not her.

She's not family.

- That's how I'm able to go on.

- What's to eat here?

- Probably nothing.

I'll make you something.

- Ray, you got to go over there.

- I don't want to talk to him.

- Don't talk to him, then.

Just...Well, take him to the movies.

You don't have to talk at the movies.

- That's true. You don't have to talk.

We should go to movies more.

- Ray.

- I don't want to go.

- I don't want your--

- All right. Shh!

- Listen. [mumbling]

- All right, look, I'll go.

But later...

[mumbling]

Hey.

- Hey.

- So...

How's it going?

- Well...

You know, today's...

- Oh, yeah.

- Yep!

That's today.

- Where's the dog?

- Went out.

- That's what they do. They go out.

- Yeah, they do, yeah.

- I was gonna go out too.

- Where you going?

- Nowhere. I don't know.

Movies, something, you know.

- Movie, huh?

- Yeah. Why? Did you want to...

- No, no. No.

- You sure? 'cause...

I was thinking, uh...

- What?

Want me to go?

- If you don't sit in front of me.

- Where's debra?

- Tired. She's... Kids, you know?

Yeah. - Just you and me?

- Unless you don't want to.

- No, no.

- Good, good.

- What's playing?

- Whatever. The 8:30.

- Good, good, good.

Huh, maybe I'll go with you.

- Although the shooting... - Yeah.

- I'll tell you, my favorite part

Was when the guy hits the pimp

With the manhole cover.

- No, I saw that coming.

Yeah, you know the part that I thought was fake?

When that little guy came in the room

Shooting like this: Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

What was that? - I loved that.

- You're sacrificing accuracy.

- Anybody can shoot like this: Boom. Boom. Boom.

That's boring. That's boring.

You've seen that in a hundred movies.

But this way...

Let's say this table here is full of drugs, right?

Bad guys on each side,

And they're splitting up the money.

You know, you come in: Boom!

"hey, mother..."

Get down!

I know.

But there was some shooting in the movie

That we had to try, and...

I know.

It's late, and we were loud,

And the kids are sleeping, and...

Oh, look. You were sleeping too.

- Nonpareil?

Man.

She really let you have it, huh?

- She had that look like mom did when we were kids

And she caught us eating that whole box of sucrets.

Remember that?

- Yeah, my tongue was numb for a month.

- Mom thought we were gonna be drug addicts.

She said, "that's how it starts!"

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

- Huh? Yeah.

Remember when she flushed

The children's aspirin down the toilet?

- Yeah.

Those sucrets were your idea.

- Yeah.

But you were right there with me,

Lozenge for lozenge.

Everything I did, you always did.

- Yeah. - Couldn't get rid of you.

Remember what I used to call you?

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- What did I used to call you?

- Right-behind-me raymond. - Yeah.

- All right, go ahead.

- Yeah.

[spoons clinking loudly]

Do you remember that assistant principal?

Mrs. Mccaffrey.

Right? The one with the wooden leg?

- Yeah, yeah.

I used to try to sneak a look at her legs

To figure out which one it was.

- It was her left one.

- Yeah? How could you tell?

- No hair on it. - Ah.

Hey, remember... Remember mike kimmelman?

He snuck into her office.

He left her an apple and a can of lemon pledge.

- Crazy kimmelman, huh?

- Ah, kimmelman.

- Well, getting kind of late. - Yeah.

- Got a day shift tomorrow.

Listen.

This was, uh...

You know, 'cause...

I was feeling a little... Then you...

- Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Listen, I'll see you.

- Yeah.

Hey. - Yeah.

- Tonight was good. It was good.

- It was good. - Yeah.

- Thanks for asking me.

- I'm glad mom and dad thought of it, really.

- What?

- Huh?

- You mean this was their idea?

- Yeah, but it was a good one.

- Whoa, whoa. Wait. Wait.

You asked me to go with you tonight

Because they told you to?

- Oh, no, no, no. Not told.

They told me you were alone, that's all.

- Thanks a lot, raymond.

Thanks for the charity.

- Oh, come on. Robert. Robert!

Come on!

Robert.

Hey.

Can I talk to you?

Robert, stop a second.

- 68.

- Mom and dad didn't tell me to go with you.

Okay, they told me, but then I agreed to it.

Okay?

Come on. Come on, robert. I'm serious.

Look, we can go to another movie if you want.

And nobody's telling me to say that.

That's just me talkin'.

- I just want some tea. My throat hurts.

- As long as you're down here, make me something.

- Frank, the boys are back.

- Hey...

Wasn't it nice of ray to come and get you

And take you somewhere?

- I know what you did. You put ray up to it.

Thanks a lot.

- Well, you're just sittin' around here like a lump.

Jeez, you try to be sensitive to somebody...

- Ugh. Again with the shoes?

Ooh, I have a sore throat.

- Maybe you should take a sucrets, mom.

- Oh, that's a good idea.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- Yeah. Don't take too many of those, though, ma, you know?

[laughs]

- What's...

What's so funny? I have a sore throat.

[laughter]

- That is a little funny. [laughs]

- Why is that funny, frank?

- Because you're always talking, so you got a sore throat.

[laughter]

- So my pain is your pleasure?

- That's not pain.

I was in korea.

That was pain.

- Oh, yeah. That's right. Korea, dad, huh?

A lot of medicine over there, right?

- They did not!

It was just the opposite.

You take a mortar shell right in the head,

They slap a band-aid on it and say, "snap out of it!

- Walk it off!"

- That's right. - Tough it out.

- If you love somethin', set it free.

- What?

- What, they didn't say that?

They didn't say that over there?

[laughter]

- What--what are you? Are you wise guys?

- No, no. - No, no.

- Hey, what is this?

Has someone been eating my sucrets?

- Yes!

Yes, we're hopped up on the sucrets.

- Look at all the pretty colors.

- Hey, dad's got hair!

- Come on. No, no, no. There were six in here.

- Hey, ma, look. Don't worry. I know a guy.

We can score some more for you.

- What's so damn funny?

- Nothin'. Nothin' funny. Nothing's funny.

[laughter]

- Go ahead. Go ahead. Keep laughing.

One of these days, you'll turn around,

And I won't be here.

- Not today. - Ah!

[laughter]

- Hey, robert.

Decided to come over and watch a ballgame with raymond.

- Noooo! - He's puttin' the kids to bed.

You know, I love it that you two are gettin' along so well.

Kind of reminds me of me and my sister...

When we used to get along.

[loud crash]

Eh...How's it going up there?

- They want you!

- Listen, deb, if it's okay with you,

I was thinkin' maybe I'd take ray fishin' on Sunday.

- Oh, yeah? Oh, great.

You guys can bring home dinner.

- No, no. Strictly catch and release.

Yeah, it's not about the fish.

It's about two guys in a boat, sittin' on the water

With a big cooler full of soda and peaches.

What did I do?

- You're just cute, that's all.

- Ah...

- Sorry. They want to talk to my supervisor.

- You should know I'm interviewing other people

For your position.

- So, raymond, you ready for the knicks?

- Got the ginger ale.

- Hey, your brother wants to take you fishing on Sunday.

- Oh, yeah? Hey, that's great.

- Hey, ally, what are you still doing up?

- I had a bad dream.

- Come on, kiddo. I know all about bad dreams.

At least you get to wake up here.

- Oh, my god. Fishing.

- What? What's wrong with fishing?

- I'm fishing with robert.

Look, I like doing things with him,

But fishing is too quiet.

I like loud things. He's gonna want to talk.

- So why can't you talk to him?

You know, talk about...

Cars or breasts or whatever crap guys talk about.

- I wish.

Since we've been hangin' out,

It seems like he wants to talk about...

- What? Talk about what?

- Feelings.

- Feelings? Oh, no.

That could lead to caring and even...Closeness.

[shudders]

- The two of us just stuck on a boat

With the soda and the peaches.

- I'll tell you, those kids get cuter every day, huh?

Oh, man, don't you just melt

When they give you that good-night kiss

And tell you how much they love you?

- Yeah, well, that's a great thing.

Listen, the game's gonna start. Let's crank it up.

Turn it way loud

So it's like we're there.

- So how was work today?

I want to catch the opening lineup here.

- Mr. Speaker, the president of the United States.

[hail to the chief plays]

- What the hell is this?

- It's the damn state of the union address.

- Now?

He's got to do this now?

Oh, god, it's on every channel.

- Oh, man. Well, here, let's just turn it off.

Give us a chance to talk.

You know what I did to mom today?

I got into the sucrets drawer.

I put more in.

Can't wait to see her face.

- Yeah, the sucrets.

- You know what was funny about the other night?

Making fun of mom and dad, I realized something.

Only you and I know how funny they really are.

No one else has that.

- Yeah.

It's kind of that unspoken thing, you know?

The thing that really doesn't have to be spoken about,

You know?

You want to rent a movie or something?

- No, no. No.

Listen, I wanted to ask you something.

- [stifling a groan]

- It's about amy.

- Oh...Okay. Amy? Go ahead.

- Did you feel that...

You had to sleep with debra to see whether or not

You were really in love with her?

I--I mean, you know,

I think that sexual attraction is so important,

And I was just wondering

If your feelings changed for debra after you had sex.

- What happened to amy?

- Well, look, this is what I'm going through.

I wanted to talk about it.

We never used to be able to talk like this.

- Yeah...

- What's the matter?

- I just--I'm not good at this stuff, you know?

- Want to talk about it?

- No!

I don't like talkin'.

- You mean you don't like talkin' to me.

- That's right.

I don't like talkin' about this stuff with you.

It gives me the creeps. You're my brother.

- Want to talk about that?

- No! No! No.

I just want it to be like before.

- Where you didn't talk to me at all.

- No--

- Oh, come on. Admit it, raymond!

You never wanted to be close.

- Close? You grew up in the same room as me.

You live right across the street.

You're over at my house every day.

How much closer can we be?

- Well, I don't know you, okay?

I want to know you.

- Okay! You want to know me? - Yeah!

You asked about the first time I had sex with debra.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you. I couldn't believe it.

I couldn't believe that someone like her

Would allow someone like me to sleep with them.

So you know what happened?

I cried, all right?

I cried. I was so embarrassed.

So for the whole time, I never looked at her once, okay?

- President looks good.

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

- Chip? - Yeah.

- Speaker...

Speaker, mr. Vice president...

- Game will be on soon.

- Yeah. Yeah, it'll be good.

- Let's turn it up.

- Yeah, turn it up.

- The challenge is great as any in our peacetime history.

[both sigh heavily]
