[MUSIC]

That's a deep hole.

That ain't getting deeper.

Why are you digging it?

I won't go to my house.

Down there?

[LAUGHTER]

[MUSIC]

[MUSIC]

I don't know, Richard.

That back porch window just

doesn't want to stay closed.

Even had my husband sand

down where it's worked,

even though nobody seems to care,

a million dollars is a steal these days.

Here are the keys.

Please remember to put them in the

lockbox when you're finished.

We won't be long, 20, 30 minutes tops,

and thank you for arranging this.

It means a lot.

My pleasure, Richard.

[MUSIC]

You truly won't find

a more perfect house.

There's a full basement where we have an

ultra-modern central heating furnace

with copper pipes and oil burner.

No more of that coal is stolen.

It's only been on the market 18 days.

It won't last long.

The house was originally built in 1900,

Mr. Messesie, on the half colonial.

It is as sturdy as an old tree.

So as you can see, Mr. Messesie young--

Alan Rose is fine.

Alan lost the hearing in his left ear

when a shell exploded right next to him.

The doctor's seat

will eventually clear up.

Oh, that's fortunate.

He also has bomb

fragments lodged in his hand.

He'll have to carry that

around for the rest of his life.

My husband went missing at sea.

Oh.

And midway through here is in June now.

I've heard of people

having the doorbell ringing.

Their husband is standing right there.

Al was in the Battle of St. Lo. 11,000

casualties in two weeks.

I'm crying out loud, Rose.

What does any of this have to do with the

price of tea in China?

China!

The house is 1,800 square feet, with a

lot to add on if you grow.

There's a dining room, custom kitchen

cabinets, a breakfast nook,

a lovely back porch, which can always be

converted into a spare guest room,

upstairs for large bedrooms,

bathrooms, one with a shower,

a powder room, and large closets.

The kitchen appliances come with a house,

a four-burner, norte range, complete with

a built-in electric clock and timer.

I don't like it much at all.

It's like a shoebox.

I can't imagine anyone living here.

Not much of a view

for what you're asking.

If I may, of all my listings, this

property is by far the

closest to the new grade school.

And it's less than a mile from the new

aerodrome they're going to build.

Could come in handy in the future.

The future?

That's right, Pauline.

It's the only direction we're headed.

And it's happening right now.

Right here.

John, is living near an aerodrome really

that important to you?

It is, Pauline, and it truly is.

It's the future.

Well, I guess I'll get used to that

monstrosity across the street.

You are a peach.

You're an absolute peach.

So, they're asking $3,400.

That's a very good price.

I have two more couples

who are coming just today.

One is a colonel, I understand.

Married an Italian woman.

She doesn't speak a word of English.

That's a lovely smile.

Why not give you a

moment to talk it over?

$3,400? You're Willickers, Rose.

No, we agreed. We couldn't pay more than

$3,000, even with my dad's money.

I'm pregnant.

You're what?

I'm pregnant.

You are?

Yes.

Really?

Three months.

Any thoughts?

The price is right in line

with the GI Bill guarantee.

We'll take it.

Get us back.

We'll take it. Yes, we will.

Thank you.

It's your first Christmas.

Yes.

Get your hands off.

Okay. Oh, look at him. He's

such a perfect angel.

Okay, peace.

Ready and smile.

Okay, calm down, Ricky.

Ricky. Ricky, sit down.

Sit. Over here. Ricky. Ricky, okay.

Ricky, sit down.

Ricky, sit down.

Sit down, let's see your sister.

Ricky, sit down.

Come on, come on, Ricky, sit down.

Oh, my God.

I'm going to call the police.

Let's see your sister.

It's really loud for daddy's head.

Ricky, listen to me. Ricky, Ricky, Ricky.

Oh, my God, damn it.

I'm gonna see you.

Yeah, like the Santa

Claus is goddamn mine.

Those drums are from your mother.

Well, they're going in the garage.

[alarm]

Jimmy, what is it like to--

Morning, too.

Get ready for bed, please.

Elizabeth, take your brother upstairs.

Now, I met the couple who

moved into the new house, honey.

Oh, honey, don't close the drapes.

I hate it. It looks

like a funeral parlor.

Ted and Virginia.

Yeah? What are they like?

Well, she's gonna have a baby.

What are they like?

They like to laugh.

They're so, I don't

know, filled with life.

Yeah? Yeah.

How long have they been married?

Stop it.

Ricky, sweetheart, 20 minutes.

That's it, all right?

Put some stuff away.

Elizabeth!

Jimmy!

That's a hell of a

battle he got going there.

Who's winning?

The Americans who shot on the cross.

Good.

Did your pursuing body--

Come again?

In the war.

Did you shoot anybody?

It's hard to know.

Everything happens so fast.

It's just the blur.

You never really see the enemy.

It's just the flash of a hell of a man.

Guy next to me, Carl

Bolton, from Wesley, Ohio.

He had two different color

eyes, one brown, one blue.

Two tone.

Carl Bolton, two tone.

So I don't get his job well, all right?

What did he do?

What did?

After that guy cut his jaw

shut off, what did he do?

I don't want to talk about it.

[sirens]

[sirens]

My cheeky.

[somber music]

We should arrive within a fortnight.

To be perfectly honest, I dread it.

Oh, William, your own

father, your own son, please.

I know.

I'm just nervous to see little Billy.

He's 13 now.

It's been years since

we were last together.

You know, he might as

well be my father's son.

Your father is certainly a presence,

but you are an

important man in your own right.

My father thinks he

can overthrow the crown.

This treasonous rabble

that follows him has no idea

what a crackpot the old man is.

So he's flying a kite,

naked, but for his nightgown

in the middle of a

lightning storm, no less.

Promise me that you will not discuss

politics with your father.

I so dislike arguments.

Well, I'm afraid my father and I are of

entirely different sides now.

It breaks my heart to beat his medicine.

My own father is becoming a terrorist.

You red coat bastard!

What is that?

I took his hat off!

You bastards! You asked

me to put in the stocks!

You filthy rebel scoundrels!

Hi.

No, I'm not.

What is this world coming to?

I remember how old it is.

It's over 200 years old.

Some famous colonial guy lived there.

Really? Who told you that?

Dave, our next door neighbor.

Dave?

He had a moment of perfect long.

A little welcome gift from Dave.

Oh, how nice.

Have you seen Justin? I need

help with these heavy boxes.

Come back, Justin!

Come help your mother with these boxes.

Hold on. You packed that ratty thing?

Of course I did.

Buck's a family heirloom.

Uh-huh.

You can hang that ugly

heirloom in the garage.

She's calling you ugly, Buck.

You know what is ugly?

It's these damn walls.

What'd they do?

Paint it with vomit?

You're so romantic.

Isn't he romantic, Rick Allen?

He sure is.

[singing]

[laughter]

Jimmy!

Why did you knock Susie off her chair?

I'm just playing the game.

No, you're not. You

have to be nice and clean.

I'm putting a broom.

Jimmy?

I said go to your room.

[singing]

[singing]

[singing]

[singing]

[singing]

[singing]

Everything okay in there?

Yeah, I just-- I can't get enough smooth

action on this damn footrest.

You'll figure it out,

honey. You always do.

Here's your lunch.

Thanks, doll.

[dog barking]

[dog barking]

Huh.

Every day. The mailman comes, the dog

barks, the mailman goes away.

The dog thinks he has protected us once

again from an intruder.

It's a symbiotic relationship. It's a

little ritual they do.

A little performance.

A little like us.

How do you move?

I mean, I make you a Spanish sandwich and

you sit and you relax a chair.

Exactly. Only now I'm calling it my

"relax-y boy chair."

Oh.

Is a relaxed chair two on the nose?

I feel like by calling it a boy, it gives

it a fun youth fulfill.

God knows we got to

build without youth market.

Relax-y boy. I like

that. You are so clever.

Relax-y boy.

Relax-y boy.

Relax-y boy chair.

Relax.

Relax-y boy.

What you need is a relax-y boy chair.

The milk's here.

For some reason, he always leaves into

the bottom of the steps.

This horse shits right next to him.

Oh.

What do you think?

Just shipped in from

London. Alfred Dunhill.

What time will you be home?

Oh, let me see.

I'm going to be on a 50-mile round trip

to Schenectady at 110 miles

per hour plus two fuel stops.

I'll be home before he

can say "Schenectady."

Good Lord.

The sky's the limit, Paulie.

John, you mortgaged our house to buy that

ridiculous airplane. Our home.

Just come up with me for a ride. One

ride. You'll love it. Trust me.

On your life, I tremble every time you

get in that contraption.

Every week I read in the news that an

airplane has crashed.

Why? For fuel management.

Most planes crash

because they run out of gas.

Fuel management is

the key to safe flying.

And regular engine maintenance.

Proper fuel management and regular engine

maintenance are the keys to safe flying.

And the weather.

Proper fuel management, regular engine

maintenance, and

staying out of thunderstorms.

That's all it takes.

Aviation is the future, Paulie.

Your head is in the clouds, John.

How many of you were going to say that?

How do you know what I was going to say?

Well, I'm done with

this bullshit conversation.

Christ, oh, my. What is

the word I'm coming to?

What was that all about?

Goddamn Billy calls me long distance from

Pittsburgh to brag about

all the sales he's made.

It's late, Al. We should go to the

airport.

No, he's right.

He's right.

I never succeeded in anything unless you

count staying alive in the war.

And then I just got lucky.

We both got lucky that

we found one another.

Ricky, don't forget

to turn out the lights.

Al, it's so late.

Let's go to the bathroom.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What are you always drawing?

Whatever I see.

Let me see.

Well, what do you

know of the living room?

That'll bring a pretty penny.

Goddamn Bill.

Hey, how many towns can you name in

Pennsylvania besides Pittsburgh?

Uh, not too many.

Philadelphia?

I don't know.

Allen something.

Allen something.

Allen town.

Hard to remember.

I could tell you every town on the term

pipe, Grove City, Clarion, Boyce,

Delphin, Lockhaven.

Each one has a hotel, and if you know

your way around, you

can get a room that looks

out of River.

You're going all night.

Nothing like sleeping

at the sound of a river.

And they ain't got diners with food so

good, boy, you can't imagine.

Places to drink, to make

you feel right at home.

Up in the places.

Up in the place.

One night I took

somebody back to my room.

She had red hair.

Allen, how are you doing there?

Yeah.

Why are you telling me all this?

It's just one night.

[music]

Hey, let me go.

What do you mean I let you go?

Let me go, buddy.

I said there weren't enough opportunities

for salesmen of that product anymore,

and I don't know, they're shrinking.

They gave Bill Pennsylvania.

I've been talking about opportunities.

Didn't I always sell for them, Rose?

Didn't I?

I have to take a new

mortgage out of the house somehow.

A roof will have to wait.

They shrunk me, Rose.

They shrunk me.

What am I going to do now,

Rose? What am I going to do?

Real thick, you're a dog.

We always do.

Hey, everybody, I

want you to meet someone.

Elizabeth, Debbie, say hello to Margaret.

Hi, guys. Hi, Margaret.

Oh, of course you're my little child.

Hey, Dad, I'd like you to meet Margaret.

Nice to meet you, Margaret.

Nice to meet you, Mr. Young.

Richard told me that

you fought in the war.

My father was a pilot.

Yeah, yeah, in 1959 he tried

out to be an astronaut at NASA.

Well, his eyes weren't good enough.

But he almost made it.

Yeah, he did, but he manages a chain of

auto parts stores now.

And he always says,

"Oh, what could have been?"

Well, there is a lot

of that going around.

Mom, I want you to meet Margaret.

You're taking me out

of the rose, honey. Who?

Margaret!

Hi, Mrs. Young. Can I

help you with anything?

Pleasure to meet you, Margaret.

So do you go to Franklin High?

No, I go to St. Paul's.

Oh. St. Paul's? Well,

how did you meet Richard?

Hey, did you see the zesty carrots?

What do you plan to do

after high school, Margaret?

I'd like to go to college.

Maybe someday you'd be a lawyer.

A lawyer? You should make a good lawyer.

She's very persuasive.

It's wrong with being a wife.

If you decide to do

something, don't wait.

I had wanted to be a bookkeeper.

You should see her checkbook.

Well, I'm going into graphic arts.

I'm going to be an artist.

Oh, great. Just what the world needs.

Don't be an idiot. Get a

job where you wear a suit.

Time just went.

I would have been a good bookkeeper.

You're doing it, Jimmy.

I'm going to do this.

I am going to flabbergill.

Can you smell something funny?

You know, when you smell something,

you're actually inhaling molecules

that have detached themselves from

whatever it is you're smelling

and spread out over a large area.

If we could see a loaf of bread by its smell, it would be enormous. Hey, gorgeous. Get a

load of this recline.

I'm late. We're calling from we'll see

you again until Thursday.

Okay. See you Thursday, Miss A.

Hey, you be good. I will.

I'm going to break you.

Morning, Auntie. You got your lunch?

Uh-huh.

Anything exciting

going on in school today?

Not really. Just

first stage. Rather is it.

Time is it. Give me a... Only yesterday I was changing my mind. I'm going to be a bookkeeper. Time is it. Give me a...

Only yesterday I was

changing your diapers.

Uh-huh. See, time is it.

Wallet.

Check.

Watch.

Check.

Keys.

Check, check, and double check.

You nervous?

Yeah. I'm not sure I can still do this.

You could sell a tea bottle spout.

No one can say no to

you. You're a charmer.

I don't know. I'm not a 23-year-old

veteran for the piss of vinegar anymore.

Just watch your drinking.

Jesus Christ.

Oh, my goodness,

Mommy. It was so exciting.

You can see everything

just like a bird does.

And it makes your tummy

tickle and get all squiggly.

And you're taller than the tallest tree.

And everybody looks so small.

It's like their hands.

And all the houses and

carriages look like toys.

We weren't expecting you

home until this evening.

How is the suffering for suffrage going?

The windows couldn't open, so we

postponed it until we could find a room

with better ventilation.

Sweetheart, will you please go to your

room and practice for a while?

I need to speak to your father.

When you finish, can I

tell you about the landing?

Of course, dear. I'll come get you.

I can't believe you took our precious

child up in that death trap.

Calm down, Pauline. You're overreacting.

Overreacting? My God, John,

she's the only child we have.

I simply wanted her to experience

something that very few

people, let alone children have.

Oh, please.

I'm sorry. I should have

told you ahead of time.

You go perfectly well. I would

never have allowed it. Never.

Okay, you're right. You're right.

Sell that infernal plane, John, before

somebody gets killed in it.

Do you know if you like, you could spend

the rest of the night here.

Let it be me

I could spend the rest of my life.

Don't take this head like someone

If you must clean this up

She's pregnant.

She's what?

She's pregnant. Margaret is pregnant.

You're just 18 years old. The big, the

goy, or is she even 18?

What do you want me to say?

John, you stupid pricky. You

could keep it in your pants.

We both have stupid pricks, Dad.

Don't be a wise ass.

Do not be a wise ass.

You think I wanted to

end up selling vacuums?

You think I wanted to be

done with my life when I was 22?

You think I didn't have

things I wanted to do?

Dreams? For you?

Al, what's going on?

You're gonna be a grandmother.

What?

Margaret's pregnant, Mom.

Now, tonight, you're gonna

twice be entertained by...

Right now, I'm gonna get

my sex and have hard food.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Beatles!

Those who are not as bad as they say

They're very senior about the bonsai

They leave and burn like a wiggle

When you're too young

And they're having fun out of the way

I'll ride home every way

And I'll say, oh, my loving

And I'll come through the door

Oh, my loving

And I'll be there to give you the sign

Oh, my loving

Darling, I'll be true

Oh, my loving

Oh, my loving

Oh, my loving

I'll be there to give you the sign

Oh, my loving I'll be there to give you the sign Oh, my loving Oh, my loving Oh, my loving I will say to you

(soft music)

I thought I was the only one

having a hard time sleeping.

I'm trying to get a feel

for the early morning light.

Mirren.

What?

You feel that?

Oh, oh.

He's gonna be a field goal kicker.

Or she's gonna be a

high-kicking chorus girl.

Me too.

I put the coffee on for you.

Sit down this way, please, gorgeous.

Take a seat right here.

Oh, why, thank you.

I have something very

important I wanna tell you.

Oh, yeah, what's that, lover?

I think 42 is gonna be a great year.

And why, it's dead.

(laughing)

Those boys up in Michigan seem very

interested in my chair's

180 degree full recline feature.

I think they're gonna go for it.

I think you're right.

You're my genius inventor.

And you know what else?

With this full recline feature,

you never even have to leave the chair.

You can even sleep right here,

right here in our relaxy boy chair.

You know what else you can do

with a full recline feature?

In the middle of a Sunday afternoon,

what would Father Murphy say?

Well, it's not telling.

(upbeat music)

(horn honking)

This is John Daly speaking from the CBS

Newsroom in New York.

Here at the Far East Situation is

reported to this moment.

The Japanese have

attacked the American naval base

at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii,

and our defense facility

that's in the middle

of our capital facility.

(sighing)

I just can't get comfortable.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I know it's late.

I was just trying to

catch the rising moon.

Sleeping beauty over

here doesn't have a problem

yet comfortable.

Honey, wait.

Can you turn towards the light?

Oh, I just don't feel

pretty right now, Richard.

Oh, you don't understand.

I can't take my eyes off of you.

Oh, no.

Al!

Got there, Ray!

It's coming through the walls!

We haven't discovered the roofing guy!

The roofing guy!

The whole thing, the Puerto Rican--

The whole thing's a gutter guy!

He's a gutter guy? We have a gutter guy?

The whole thing

includes the rain gunners.

Hey.

God, Al, did you move that bucket?

I moved the bucket and I look at all--

Look at all that water!

Look at all that water!

Jimmy, the baby's coming.

Now? Right now?

Call a taxi.

A taxi?

I have to get to the hospital.

Help him!

Oh, oh, Jimmy, stop waving.

What do you mean it's not waving?

Let me see what's happening!

Jimmy, just cry!

You're gonna call a taxi!

Oh, come on.

I'll give you a glass.

I got towels.

Oh my God!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Oh, oh, are you calling a taxi?

No, who are you calling?

The fire department.

The fire department!

(screaming)

How do you like them apples, kid? A

ringside seat? A circle of life?

They did good, kids.

That is the moon. That is

the moon. And look, look, look.

There's another moon. That's

another moon, that's right.

So we have to. We have to. There's one

moon. And there's the other moon.

What a beautiful angel. Yes, you are.

You're the most beautiful

girl. What is that going to be?

What are you doing working? Yeah. You

make mommy so happy.

I'm so happy. You want to go get

something to eat?

Yeah, let's go. Come on.

Apple sauce. You want apple sauce?

I know. Oh, you think

you can get that back?

You can get some lemon,

right? You can take one now? Yeah.

Vanessa, look who's here. Daddy's at

home. What are you doing?

I got the job. What? Congratulations.

They hired me on the spot. You girls are

looking at the newest salesman

of the 12th largest life

insurance company in America.

That is so great, Richard. Yeah, it's an

opportunity of a lifetime.

Are you happy? I'm sorry.

We've done everything we can.

Okay, everybody ready? Roll it.

Is that working? Stop it, Jimmy.

We need a fourth for Vanessa. Oh my God,

the minimum was mine.

Love Christmas. That was

the year we got our dream.

It cost me damn fortune.

It almost cut my hand off.

That was quite a big... A plastic tree.

Oh my God. What did you do to my hair?

That was me. That was me.

I think it's like pom poms or something.

Little Ricky, this is the next Ringo.

Right there. You're being drunk.

Hey, Rich, you always had an

interest in music, didn't you?

Me? No. No, that wasn't me, Ted.

Sure you did. I remember.

You played in the combo.

You were thinking of

applying to a music school.

Music school? No. No, no.

No, no, it was the Art Academy. Richard

was going to apply to

the Institute of Arts.

Yeah, well, you know. We all were sure

you were going to be somebody.

Well, it just didn't work out.

All right. That's it, baby.

Now, say money.

Money!

Say more money!

Money money!

Wow.

And have you heard of this

new thing called television?

Is that the radio with pictures?

Yes. And we're watching its development

very closely, so to speak.

And we feel a chair like this might be

the perfect complement to a home

television ensemble.

I have to hand it to you, Leo. This

Ottoman feature is really special.

Well, I'm glad you appreciate it. I've

been developing it for quite some time.

And you know what else is

pretty special? This highmoe.

What's your secret, Mrs. Bigman?

Oh, well, goodness. Nothing special. Just

a C-Grip 7 ginger ale and

a little squeeze of lemon.

Oh. And the ginger ale is Canada dry.

Oh, yeah, Canada dry.

Just the good stuff.

Uh-huh. Yeah, well, it's delicious.

But I'd like to get to know

a little more about you two.

How did you meet?

How did we meet?

Yeah. How did you meet?

You want to tell us?

He followed me home.

Followed you home?

I used to see her run by the window where

I worked. She was always running.

I was always late.

So one day I followed her

and saw where she lived.

And the rest is history.

Inspirational.

I know. Sometimes our

life is just like fairy tale.

Oh, I'm not talking about your wife. I'm

talking about the swivel feature.

Oh.

Absolutely inspired.

What did I do?

I feel so good tonight. I do. I woke up

five o'clock this morning,

trembling and shaking all over.

I fell asleep on my

electric toothbrush in my mouth.

That's my...

And another reason I don't feel good.

Don't!

I'm getting worried about Jesus.

Don't! Put down!

I am a clean-up.

I see a ghost.

I see a ghost.

It's not a whole lot of gold.

I can't believe the thousand-hundred.

A ghost!

It's a...

Ghost!

Don't chase me, ghost.

Help me!

I don't want this, motherfucker!

It's a ghost!

Stop!

Mommy!

Mommy!

No!

Look at her!

It's how I found it, Mama!

There's a ghost in the house!

There she goes!

See!

There!

Do you see it?

I see it!

I see the ghost!

Okay!

Okay!

Get the ghost!

Here's my monitor.

Look at that!

This is my...

This is my...

Yes!

This is my...

Vanessa!

Vanessa, face the camera and sit still!

That young lady is spoiled.

Really?

Spoil?

Oh, I'm late.

Vanessa's in bed already.

She's out like a light.

Oh, I wanted to see her.

So, how was her first day of school?

She loved it.

Loves her teacher, too.

Great!

Richard?

Yeah?

I think it's time we had our own house.

Oh, here we go again.

No, our own house.

One that we can raise

Vanessa in our own home.

Honey, we've been

through this a million times.

The mortgage rates are at 9%.

And Johnson just put through the biggest

tax-size since World War II.

We can't swing it right now.

We just...

We can't.

Then I'm getting a new sofa.

Why?

Because I can't stand looking at this

antique of your mother's another minute.

Antique?

And another thing, you're gonna have to

handle it with her because I don't want to hear about it.

Well, why not just get a new

coffee table while we're at it?

Thank you.

Now, wait right there.

I believe I'm hearing our song.

Let you always

Let it be me

Daddy, go faster!

No matter how far you travel, no matter

what we see, right here

is where we want to be.

And I say to you, with very much glee, if

I was you, I'd run and

take a great big pee.

But before this out of bed, I want to

make quite clear, no more drinking beer.

Early to bed, early to vibes, makes a man

healthy, wealthy and wise.

It's easy to win a one-man race.

And God, elder brother,

engage young James Young.

Well done is better than well said.

By failing to prepare,

you are preparing to fail.

He that falls in love with

himself shall have no rivals.

I must say, the ladies of my quilt would

be our beginning to speak

highly of your father's ideas.

Oh, Lizzy, that's bald dash. In a year's

time, no one will remember

the great Benjamin Franklin.

I enjoy the abhors with

mature women for three reasons.

They do not tell, they do not swell, and

they are grateful as hell.

You win, little son of a...

Go, baby, go, Jimmy!

What fine boots upon thee, my lady?

These boots were made for walking, baby.

And that's just what they'll do.

Mom, let me help you with that.

Pulling out the trusty table extension.

I'm not expecting a huge bag of rope.

No, just the usual family.

But I invited Ted and Virg and the kids.

They're Thanksgiving orphans this year.

The more the merrier I say, as

long as we don't have turkey.

I got an 18-pounder. It should be enough.

I hope you got enough wine. You know how

Ted likes to put it away?

You're one to talk.

Huh? Nothing.

What'd you say?

I got something to say.

I listened yesterday.

You did what? I signed up for the Navy.

The Navy? Christ, Jimmy. What about

college? You're deferment.

I was thinking I'd apply to the fire

academy when I get out.

You know, be a firefighter. Don't you

know there's still a war going on?

A ship just went down

to the South China Sea?

Yeah, well, somebody in this

family has to do their part.

I did my part for all of you!

I don't know what to say.

Well, how about thank you?

Thank you for your service.

Oh, bullshit. No one ever

thanked me for my service.

Seriously, I don't know

what to say. Well, then zip it.

Last thing I need is a

lecture from my do-nothing brother.

You're such a jerk,

Jimmy. Who is the mighty?

Let's not let this ruin Thanksgiving.

He'll be fine.

Yeah, he'll be fine.

My little brother joins the Navy.

I felt so fortunate to avoid the drought.

And now Jimmy's gonna

fight the Communists?

I wait for America.

I think it's time. For bed? I'm dead.

No. For us to have a place of our own,

where we can have our

Thanksgiving in our own home.

Well, we've almost set up

enough. It won't be long now.

You set that last Thanksgiving, Richard?

Because I am not going to be strapped

with a mortgage I can't afford.

Okay, well, I'm getting a part-time job.

Amy said that there's an

opening for a receptionist

at the law firm she worked for.

A part-time job makes no sense.

After taxes, what are

you gonna have to show for?

Oh, my God, your obsession with taxes.

You just don't get it.

Well, after hire a babysitter from Vanessa,

I'm gonna run at least $15 a week.

Richard, you and me,

we need our own space.

So you want us to take on more debt?

We haven't paid off

your new furniture yet.

Okay, so what are we gonna do?

We're just gonna live in

this commune until we die?

I have an idea.

Why don't you join the Navy?

Why don't you have another glass of wine?

Rose, is this leather?

No, it's Naga High.

Naga High?

Margaret bought it.

Seems like it were as well.

It's not really my taste. It's like

something you would have in an office.

Virginia, can I get you another drink?

Oh, my, no.

No, I'm already getting sleepy.

How about you, Toni?

You're a wine awake. You're not gonna let

this good bourbon go to waste, are you?

Okay, but don't blame me if

you have to carry me home.

Hey, Rose, tell us the joke.

What joke?

Wait, what joke? You're a joke. Do you

know the one about the doctor?

Oh, goodness. No, you tell it.

No, go on. You tell it so good.

No, you tell it.

Come on, Rose. Tell us the joke.

Okay, fine. So there's a guy, and he

calls his doctor for some test results.

And the doctor says, "So, Mr. Jones, I

have some good news

and I have some bad news.

The good news is that

you have 24 hours to live."

That's the good news. The guy screams,

"What's the bad news?"

I should have told you yesterday.

(Laughter)

It's the bad news, is there anything?

Tell it so good.

Toni, are you okay?

Hi. You want some more of your test?

Teddy?

Teddy.

Teddy.

Teddy!

Teddy!

Rose, do something!

Do you want any of these

numbers to do that for us?

A glass of water or something?

A mountain, a mountain.

Teddy!

What?

Dad passed away.

He did?

When?

20 minutes ago.

He never woke up.

Well, at least he died laughing.

Why did I have to tell that stupid joke?

I don't know, Rose.

I don't know. I guess

I'll go be with Virginia.

I'll come with you.

Why, God?

Why?

Why did you let this happen?

Surprised they're having an open casket.

Why do you say that?

You said there's not much

left after a plane crash.

He didn't die in a plane crash.

He didn't?

No.

The influenza cut him.

I rode my bicycle past

your window last night.

I roller skated to your door at daylight.

It almost seems like you're avoiding me.

I'm okay alone if

you've got something to eat.

Hello?

Vanessa got her head

stuck in a fireplace.

And she wants to sue Santa.

For what?

For emotional chimney drama.

Chimney drama. That's dangerous.

She cracks me up.

Keep those eyes closed now.

Keep them closed.

Three, two, one. Open your eyes.

That's the first one we've ever had.

Beautiful.

You think so?

Yeah.

She's the best one on the

lot. Look how cool he is.

Now, I have one more

present just for you.

Now, these are rough, but

they will give you a good idea.

I thought, if we are

going to have our own house,

I shall design it.

Oh, my gosh. Richard.

About 2,500 square feet.

With an open kitchen

plan, breakfast nook.

I know how much you love window seats.

Vanessa can have her own bathroom.

You can have your own walk-in closet with

a shelf just for your shoes.

Richard, I didn't

even think you heard me.

Wait, did you end up

getting the raise on a promotion?

No, no, but things are

picking up down at the front.

I don't even know what to say.

You don't have to say anything.

Oh, you know, Billy,

I was just your grave

when I first passed

through this tiny hamlet.

It's quite strange to me.

Coming back to visit my

son after all his time

and now with my grandson.

Grandpa, will you promise not to argue

politics with father?

I promise.

Man, I have a dispatch from that forum.

Signed by General Washington himself.

The British have surrendered.

The war is over. We have won.

Now what?

Mommy! Mommy!

What happened, honey?

I lost my ribbon!

Your what?

My little first place ribbon from school.

You lost the what?

My ribbon!

Where's the last place you saw it?

It went both back.

Let's go look. Come on.

What's going on?

Oh, we lost the blue school ribbon.

I didn't get the raise.

I'm sorry, Richard.

A lot of heads on the chopping block.

They're downsizing at headquarters.

Vanessa?

Vanessa!

Vanessa, look what Mommy found!

Thank you, Mommy!

It was in between the sofa cushions.

What's going on?

Look what Mommy found!

Hey, hey!

Where was it?

In between the sofa.

How did it get there?

God put it there.

Oh, he did?

Because I prayed.

Well, some people

would call that a miracle.

I'm gonna go put it away.

You better put that in a very safe place.

A moment will always remember.

That is for sure.

Vanessa, get the phone!

Get the phone, Vanessa!

Ah, the phone!

I'm waiting for...

How dare you!

Hello, phone!

Mary phone!

Yes, can I help you?

Hello.

Sorry to disturb you.

We're here from the

Archaeological Society.

Are you wondering if you had a moment?

Yes, certainly.

Please, come in.

Thank you.

Must excuse the mess.

I'm afraid I'm in the

middle of a deep clean.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, thank you so much.

I'm Earl Higgins.

These are my prize

students, Todd and Lisa.

It's a pleasure to meet you.

Please do come in.

Here, sit down.

Come on.

I'm sorry about the mess.

Can I get you something?

Some lemonade, perhaps?

It's homemade, my grandmother's recipe.

We don't want to take

up too much of your time.

We were just visiting the

historic house across the street.

Yes, isn't it marvelous?

It is one of the reasons I

fell in love with this house.

I am a fan of anything colonial.

Right.

Well, we are primarily involved with the

study of Native American culture,

but this is a rich archaeological area.

And we have reason to believe that your

property may

potentially be an important site.

Oh, my.

Well, imagine that.

Will you please try the lemonade?

It is a family tradition.

Yes?

Yes, I think.

Three lemonades coming

up, sweet or unsweetened.

Sweet, sweet, sweet.

Would you mind if I took

a look in your backyard?

Well, my husband isn't home right now,

but yes, I'm sure that's fine.

This way.

Well, your yard is the perfect size,

and there's plenty of

access in the back alley.

You have a little

fuzzy thing in your chin.

The other side.

A little lower.

Oh, yeah.

You got it.

You found my imperfection.

Are you ready to do the workout?

Hey, Vanessa, what's the story with that

mansion across the street?

William Franklin once lived there.

Is he the one that planted

the cherry tree or something?

Gosh, Bethany, you're such a spaz.

Thomas Jefferson is the one that chopped

down the cherry tree.

He didn't plant it.

William Franklin is Benjamin

Franklin's illegitimate son.

Oh, shit. How do you know that?

My mother belongs to a

historical book club.

Cool.

My mother belongs to a book club, but all

they do is get sheep face.

Damn.

No more aerobics tonight.

Rose, I'm back.

Everyone's power's out,

the whole neighborhood.

They were out of batteries,

but I got you two candles.

And believe it or not, they had one copy

of your People magazine left.

Run!

Oh, my God!

Richard!

I keep having this

dream, this recurring dream,

standing on a riverbank,

and I see Rose, and she's out in the

water, and she's drowning.

I just went out to

her, but I can't save her.

She keeps going under. I try to pull her

in, but she keeps going under.

There's nothing I can do.

I'm not strong

enough, or I have no power.

I'm weak. God help me.

Weak? God help me.

God help me.

What are these?

Sash potatoes.

Mashed potatoes, that's right.

Finish the pot.

Very good, Rose.

I heard that. Mashed potatoes, good girl.

How's she doing? She eating it?

She did great tonight.

She ate almost every bite.

Good job.

Well?

Well, what?

Didn't Ricky tell you?

Tell me what? Oh, Mr. Daley, I'm a great guy. Tell me what?

Oh, Mr. Daley, I'm a dull short. I can't

believe he didn't tell you.

Tell me what, Al? What?

Me and Rose are giving you

to the house. All paid off.

I got a little sucked away for rainy day.

Rose is making progress,

so we decided come the

fall, we're moving to Florida.

Florida?

It turns out our condo is less than two

miles from Hampstead Neuro,

which is the best stroke rehab center in

the state, so it's going all around.

But wait, how can you afford to--

I ran the numbers.

My pension, social security, and Rose's

disability will be fine.

Besides, we've been living

here rent-free for years.

What about Elizabeth and

Jimmy? It's their house, too.

I never told Ricky, but when my dad died,

he left me some money.

I'd taken care of Jimmy and Elizabeth.

They're thrilled for you.

Besides, wild horses

couldn't drag him back here.

I don't even know what to say, Al.

I don't see anything.

I said, "I don't know. Maybe thank you."

You know what? Come to think of it, there

is absolutely nothing too sick.

Say it about what?

Here he is, Mr. Slower the molasses.

I told Margaret we're

leaving you to the house.

Al, thank you.

Yeah. Good night.

I don't want this house.

Look, it's not like I

haven't been trying.

I keep hoping the economy

is going to turn around.

We need our own house,

and I want my own life.

I'll see if I can get more hours at work.

We can make it work.

How many more hours can

they give a receptionist?

Excuse me? I have been a

secretary for 18 months.

Dad gave us a house. If we sell it, we'll

have to pay capital gains.

Oh, my God. Other

people buy houses, Richard.

And they make it work. You

have to stop making excuses.

You always find a

reason not to do something.

Well, I will not live here forever.

And I will not get away...

We're in the money. Come on, my honey.

Let's learn that's left,

let's end it rolling around.

We hit the jackpot. We hit the jackpot.

Say bon voyage to our illustrious son,

who hopefully will

start a great big family.

A toast to the most brilliant inventor,

and his newest creation, the Relaxy Boy,

a lazy boy. They're going

to call it the Lazy Boy.

Honey, I'm not sure I like that.

Who cares, honey? Who cares?

They can call it anything they want.

California, here we come.

Happy birthday, dear Justin.

Happy birthday to you.

Go ahead and make a wish, baby.

[music]

[speaking in foreign language]

[music]

[speaking in foreign language]

[music]

Yeah, we found it not

far from our first sight.

It wasn't buried very

deep. Only a few feet.

Wow. Oh, we have to show Rose.

Sure.

Rose, look what they found.

They found this here,

right here in the backyard.

[music]

No.

No, Keshia.

Oh, please don't touch

it. It's quite sacred.

Oh.

Beautiful.

Yeah.

Okay, everybody, squeeze in.

Family, family, watch the birdies.

Squeeze in.

Okay, Vanessa, you're going to have to--

Vanessa, Vanessa, Vanessa.

Vanessa, can you be

part of the family, please?

Okay, everybody, stay still.

Talking to you rich and say cheese.

Cheese.

Love you.

Bye.

Bye. Take good care of Rosie, Al.

Keep on out of the set. Love you.

Bye, my grandma.

My grandma.

I love you. I love you.

I forgot to tell you the plumber's coming

at 10 tomorrow, yeah.

Yeah, bathroom or to the backyard.

I'm going to Bethany's.

You're not going out dressed like that.

I'm not going out.

I'm going to Bethany's.

All right, remember curfew, home by 1030.

Christ almighty, I'm almost 16.

1030.

Turn that on.

You hear that?

What?

Listen.

Silence. We're alone.

Hey, honey.

What if I were to open a bottle of wine?

I'm going to be in the bathroom.

Eight of you in one

bathroom for Pete's sake?

Where do you keep all this stuff?

And how do you like

sleeping on the top bunk?

I wouldn't know anything about that.

No, you're the first one in

the family to go to college.

Haven't I told you that?

Only about a million times?

Well, when do you need it?

How much is it?

All right. Well, I'll send you a check.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

Your mom just got home.

She wasn't to say hello.

Hi, sweetheart.

I sent you a new

blanket and some warm socks.

Oh, you do? Okay.

Well, we can talk later. Yeah.

Okay, bye-bye. Bye.

Our daughter is in college.

Tonksure flies, doesn't it?

Sure does.

Oh, you're thinking about

Vanessa, aren't you? I can tell.

It just seems like a moment

ago. She left for college.

And now law school?

Our little girl is going to be a lawyer.

She's amazing.

Tonksure does find other law school.

We're going to have to take out a loan,

aren't we, for her tuition?

We have to mortgage the house.

That's the only way we can swing it.

Whatever happened to those

plans you drew of that house?

I put them somewhere. I

don't know. They had it.

That would have been a beautiful house.

Excuse me. I want to

make the toast this year.

This is the first Thanksgiving

without my Rose. Sorry. Sorry.

Now, Rose, she loved having you all

around her. She loved this day.

She loved cooking for

you. She lived for you.

And for you, Dad.

Yeah. Yeah. For me.

I love you, Dad. We all

love you out. We sure do.

To my Rose. To Rose. To Rose.

So the first thing you'll say to him is,

"Officer, my insurance and registration,

or my wealth compartment?"

Then you're going to leave one hand

visible on the dashboard,

and with the other hand, you will slowly

reach around to your back pocket,

take out your wallet, and

get in your driver's license.

Next, you're going to tell him, "Officer,

I'm now going to open my glovebox

and take out my registration papers."

And making sure he can see

both your hands at all times,

he will slowly take your registration out

of the glovebox and hand it over.

After you hand in the papers, you're

going to sit as chilly as a snowman,

and when he's done, you will sign a

ticket, and you will say,

"Thank you, Officer." Then you'll put

your turn signal on,

and very slowly and

carefully merge into traffic.

And you will thank God that that police

officer that stopped

you had a morning coffee

and was thinking clearly.

You can get on with your life.

[silence]

Ritter, why are the lights out?

[cheering]

[cheering]

[cheering]

[cheering]

[cheering] [cheering]

[cheering]

[cheering]

[singing Happy Birthday to you]

Make a word!

You know, Richard said the

other day, "How time flies,"

but Richard always says things like that

that are kind of obvious.

[laughter]

And you know, it made me think when I was

30, if I thought about 50,

I thought that is an awful long way away,

and I don't really

need to think about it.

And then I blinked,

and I'm 50! That's crazy!

Time flies!

I wish I could say that I've

done more with my 50 years.

My amazing daughter, though, she just

made senior partner,

apparently the youngest to ever do so,

and she is one tough, brilliant attorney.

You're just that? Yeah.

Yeah. But I never made it to law school.

And I never got to

see Paris in the spring,

and I never got to stay over in

Yellowstone because it was too crowded.

It's crazy how you can.

Well, no, it's just that I put things

off, and I kept putting them off.

And I would say, "Oh,

we'll do it next year,"

and then that next year would come, and

I'd say, "Oh, next year, next year."

And I don't want to do that anymore.

Oh, Margaret, it's okay. It's okay.

Well, you can.

Yeah.

[sighs]

So, around the time of

the American Revolution,

marriage was something

equal to a dictatorship.

But nowadays, thank goodness, it

resembles something closer to,

shall we say, a democracy, although not

yet a more perfect union.

You see, most couples like to think of

marriage as being

together in the same boat,

doing everything

together in the same boat.

Fight and make love and stop making love

and fighting some more

and then coming together

and doing it all over again,

mostly fighting for their individual

space, fighting to be heard,

fighting for their identity.

I like to call it

"fighting over the rudder,"

all while their boat is

floating down the river of life,

possibly headed for the falls,

but most couples find solace in this idea

of being in the same boat,

because if the boat

sinks, they go down together.

Margaret, I can't believe you brought

your shrink into our home.

Oh, I'm not a psychiatrist.

Well, what are you?

I'm a life coach.

Even better.

A fully accredited

holistic health practitioner.

Margaret, I can't believe that you

brought this quack

life coach into our home.

It was my suggestion, considering your

reluctance to do the work.

My reluctance to--

what is your name again?

Gilbert Moore, CHHP. You can call me Gil.

Well, Gilbert Moore,

CHHP. Get to the point.

I think you two belong in separate boats.

Get the fuck out of my house!

(indistinct chatter)

I cannot smell anything.

Look, my father fell and

broke his hip down in Florida,

and the doctors say there were

complications in the

surgery with an infection,

so it's gonna be late for quite a while.

I'll have trouble walking,

you know, getting around--

Getting up and down stairs.

Well, we have to bring him back here.

He'll camp out in our living room.

We have a sofa bed.

Oh, no.

No, Margaret is not happy.

She's got a lot of stuff that's going on.

Look, it's

complicated, and I think that--

I think--

I think she's going to leave me.

God, I'm sorry, Rich.

You think she's seen someone else?

No, no, it's nothing like that.

It's just been growing

for an awfully long time.

Look, let-- I'll talk

about this tomorrow.

The strangest thing that's happened.

I had to pull the car

over on the side of the road,

because I forgot where I lived.

Literally just stopped the

car and then think about it.

Is that odd? Not knowing where you are?

Well, you have a lot on your mind.

I'm glad you remembered.

Anyway, I'm here.

I'm glad you're here.

You know, prescriptions

are here on the table.

What did you say?

Your new prescriptions

are there on the end table.

Your new prescriptions

are there on the end table.

You know, you're

going to get old one day.

Sorry.

I said I'm sorry.

I heard you the first

time I was pulling your leg.

What do you want to watch?

Jeopardy.

What? Jeopardy!

As soon as that everything--

That's everything I've got.

Right.

It is a pleasure doing business with you.

Very excited that you found

your next house so quickly.

Yeah, it wasn't easy, but we got there.

Yeah.

So, what do you think

that's really going to go wrong?

Oh, it's so hard to say,

but starting to feel like the

market is really taking off,

I expect every offer to come

in at least 10% above asking.

Maybe 20.

You'll live some God's years.

Well, in this market, I may just have a

direct line with God.

I really hope so.

I'll be sure to post all the pictures

first thing in the morning.

And email me if you need anything else.

I will. Thank you.

Thank you. Good night.

Hey, have a great evening.

You too.

Hey.

Hey, what's going on? Why are you crying?

What?

Raquel died like 20 minutes ago.

Oh, God, I'm so sorry.

Are you sure this thing's going to fit in

the new dining room?

We had a whole measure of honey.

It seems pretty damn big.

Thank you, sir.

Thank God. I'm starving.

I can't take care of him.

I just started to feel like my own person

with him being here.

I feel like I could

scream. I'm so trapped.

And I know that sounds shitty.

He wanted to come back to

us. He wanted to come home.

He wanted to be here.

Where?

Here!

To die.

Hey, Dad. What's the score?

Huh?

The game. Who's winning?

(indistinct chatter)

You look so silly.

What's that time of year?

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five...

Two better times.

Ben times.

One!

(indistinct chatter)

Happy new year, Richard.

Happy new year, Margaret.

From a scientific standpoint, you cannot

definitively prove that.

(indistinct chatter)

Thank you very much

for both of you, Richard.

Well, my meeting was

canceled, so I figured,

how about our favorite breakfast?

Oh, thank you.

Dad making a therapy, okay?

Uh, picked up right on time.

He has a new

caregiver. Her name is Carol.

Carol.

Vanessa left a message

for me down at the office.

Did you talk to her?

I did.

What did she have to say?

Well, funnily enough,

we talked about you.

Me?

We talked about what a

great artist you are.

And how you always

wanted to be a graphic artist.

Back when we met.

And she wanted to know

why you quit painting.

You know why.

I don't, actually.

I had to make a living.

I had to make money.

I took an apartment on High Street.

I can walk to work.

So you're leaving me?

I am.

Do you think you can save it?

Save what?

Your marriage.

[ Chuckles ]

I had no idea.

Your mom and I, we never

had problems like that.

[ Laughs ]

Yes, you did?

People just didn't talk about them.

That's all. It was a different time.

Oh, she...

She left me once.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know.

You're all little.

She left for four days, went to New York,

saw some plays, went up to

the Empire State Building.

[ Tapping ]

But she came back, Ricky.

She came back, and she never left again.

Yeah, well, it was a

different time, like I said.

She left her heavy coat.

Who did?

Margaret, she left her heavy coat on me

and leaves something like that.

It means she want to come back.

Margaret's leaving all kinds of stuff.

It doesn't mean anything.

She's been forgetting

a lot of things lately.

Maybe it's time, Ricky.

For what?

Maybe you should sell the house.

Sell the house!

After all this time,

you've said, "Sell that."

I will tell you what I am going to do.

I am going to paint.

Good.

Come along, darling. It's time to go.

Mother, I'm going to miss being here.

Really?

I won't.

Come along, darling.

What did I come in here for?

Why am I here?

Hold.

I'm coming, Rose.

I'm coming.

Rose?

[ Grunts ]

I'm sorry.

I'm coming, Rose.

Just wait, I'm coming.

I'm coming. I'm coming.

Well, I'll watch.

Keys.

I wanted to thank you

for being there today.

It meant a lot.

It was a lovely service.

I'm sorry I couldn't

stay for the lunch, Richard.

Oh, no, that's all

right. That's all right.

But thank you.

So, are you all right?

How are you doing?

I'm okay.

I'm sad.

But I'm okay.

Well, it is sad. It's very sad.

Yeah, and as we've discussed many times,

that's an important feeling.

Mm-hmm. It certainly is.

It was good that Dad and I

had so much time, you know,

since he came back to live here.

We talked. We sort of

threw a lot of stuff.

I'm glad.

Glad you two were able to do that.

And, Margaret, I need to...

Margaret, I have to apologize to you.

Richard, you don't have to.

Yeah, yes.

Margaret, I have to

tell you how sorry I am.

All I did was worry

about every damn thing.

Some insane way, I must have believed

that worrying would keep

painful things from happening.

Isn't that ridiculous?

I'm sorry, Margaret.

I'm sorry I wasn't able to

be what you needed me to be.

Richard, it's okay.

Thank you.

Thank you for...

for saying that.

We both.

We did the best we could.

Yeah. Yeah. [music]

We were walking along the sand and the

sky opened up and it

just started to pour.

So we doted to this tiny cafe and ended

up having the best baguette of our life.

Oh, and I must be starting to look

French, by the way, because an American

tourist stopped me and asked me if I

spoke English as I said, "We"?

You got to see Paris.

I got to see Paris, Richard.

How great Vanessa was

able to rendezvous with you.

It was wonderful. Vanessa and I decided

we're coming back every

year, just us, no dating.

Just a mother and daughter trip.

Why not?

Everyone else, I'm going to save my

pennies to visit a

new country every year.

That sounds like a perfect plan.

Oh, speaking of plans, are Vanessa and

David joining you for

Thanksgiving this year?

They're going to David's, folks.

Vanessa told me that David's mother is

hell bent on having Thanksgiving this

year and there's

nothing we can do about it.

Well, Margaret, the family

is spread all over the globe.

No, no plans. No, no plans.

I think I'm just going to skip it.

Do you really want to?

I'd love that.

Well, you got it.

Thanksgiving dinner at 4 p.m. right here.

It's open.

Hey.

Oh, you look great.

You're sure this is what you wanted?

What could be better for Thanksgiving

dinner than cold egg rolls?

Wow, Richard, you've

really been painting.

Oh, I've been busy, yeah.

They're great.

Well, thank you.

Beautiful.

What's this?

That is you.

I don't look like that.

Yes, you do.

Oh, my goodness.

You could actually sell these.

Not that one, though.

I painted this one just for you, Vanessa.

So beautiful.

A masterpiece.

Oh, that's for sure.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Here's a place of honor for you.

I'm nice of you to pull

out the folding table.

It's a family tradition, I thought.

Why not?

You know, the damnedest thing happened

when I was waiting in line

at the Chinese restaurant.

For a second, I forgot why I was there.

That scared me.

Well, the holidays can be

confusing for a lot of people.

Yeah.

It's good to see you.

It's good to see you.

Well, I'll give the blessing.

Thank you for the sound of all the voices

that have been here.

And for bringing us together today.

Amen.

Amen.

Now, I thought, let's

begin a brand new tradition.

Let's start the meal

with fortune cookies.

Okay.

You go first.

Oh, well, I'm being held prisoner in a

fortune cookie factory.

I'm joking.

My dad would have said.

You will have an adventure.

And what an adventure it has been.

What does yours say?

And old love will come back to you.

That's a good one.

Is this my good fortune?

No.

I've been thinking.

I'm going to sell the house.

Good.

(soft music)

Careful now.

I gotcha.

10?

10, yeah, 10 years.

Can you believe it?

Conflies.

Careful, have to.

You all right?

Yeah, I gotcha.

I gotcha.

This was our home.

We lived here.

You lived here.

We lived here?

Yes, yes, yes.

Have these chairs.

The first time you came into this house,

you looked so beautiful.

Couldn't take my eyes off you.

You came to meet my mom and my dad.

Now, do you remember my mom and my dad?

Rose and Al.

We all lived here together.

Many, many happy memories.

I will never forget this one night,

you and I made love on

my mother's sofa, right?

No.

Yes, we did, they

were all asleep upstairs,

and we were going at

it pretty hand-in-hand.

No. Many happy memories here.

Thanksgiving and Christmas.

We got married right in

front of that fireplace there.

Oh my God, you gave

birth to our daughter,

Vanessa, right here.

You remember our daughter, Vanessa.

Yeah.

We raised her in this house.

We did our best to be good parents.

You were a wonderful mother,

and I tried to be a good father,

and a good husband,

and I had no regrets.

Vanessa?

Yes, our daughter, Vanessa.

She was and is a firecracker.

There was this one time she,

she had won an awarded school, a ribbon,

and she lost it, and she was so upset.

She cried for two days

straight about that lost ribbon.

The blue ribbon.

Yes, it was a blue ribbon.

I remember.

I found it in the sofa,

the brown sofa, I remember.

I remember finding it, she was so happy.

And you came in the

door, and you were so happy.

Oh, I remember all that.

That was right here.

I remember being here.

I love it here.

I love it here.
