JOAN: One time I dreamt
I had this sea turtle
named Lady
2
00:00:09,643 --> 00:00:11,309
who could talk,
3
00:00:11,378 --> 00:00:12,611
and we did everything
together.
4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,745
(CHUCKLES)
5
00:00:14,548 --> 00:00:16,281
Including talk.
6
00:00:17,718 --> 00:00:21,469
We played cards and swam
and ate junk food.
7
00:00:24,007 --> 00:00:26,908
When I woke up,
I missed her so much,
8
00:00:29,546 --> 00:00:33,314
even though she was
never real.
9
00:00:33,384 --> 00:00:35,817
I mean,
especially because...
10
00:00:37,888 --> 00:00:40,155
Because she w-wasn't real.
11
00:00:40,224 --> 00:00:42,257
But Judith was real, Joan.
12
00:00:43,861 --> 00:00:46,661
Lady, the sea turtle,
was this
13
00:00:48,065 --> 00:00:49,331
exotic,
14
00:00:51,769 --> 00:00:55,303
magical creature.
15
00:00:55,372 --> 00:00:58,807
She belonged to me.
Nobody else
had a friend like her.
16
00:01:00,578 --> 00:01:02,444
And then I actually
17
00:01:04,815 --> 00:01:07,015
found someone who was like
18
00:01:08,752 --> 00:01:10,552
a talking sea turtle.
19
00:01:12,389 --> 00:01:15,973
I mean, she was magical
20
00:01:18,278 --> 00:01:19,944
and exotic.
21
00:01:24,100 --> 00:01:26,401
You're totally
not following me here,
are you?
22
00:01:29,373 --> 00:01:34,075
It's normal to be angry
with someone who dies.
You feel abandoned.
23
00:01:34,144 --> 00:01:36,961
So what happens
in psychiatry school, hmm?
24
00:01:38,131 --> 00:01:40,816
What, they suck out
every original thought?
25
00:01:40,884 --> 00:01:42,917
Now you're transferring
your anger onto me.
26
00:01:42,986 --> 00:01:44,936
No, I'm actually angry
with you.
27
00:01:45,005 --> 00:01:46,271
Do you know why?
28
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:47,656
Because you're a jerk.
29
00:01:48,659 --> 00:01:50,275
I took God away from you.
30

(SCOFFS)
31
00:01:51,679 --> 00:01:56,130
I destroyed that magical
and exotic friendship.
32
00:01:56,199 --> 00:01:58,817
More than ever,
you wish he were real.

38

Believing is one thing.
Seeing is another.
39
00:02:18,805 --> 00:02:20,805
Are you seeing him again?
40
00:02:28,598 --> 00:02:30,465
So you think
it went well?
41
00:02:30,533 --> 00:02:31,766
It went fine.
42
00:02:31,835 --> 00:02:33,785
And it helped
to talk to him?
43
00:02:33,854 --> 00:02:37,289
Mom, my friend died. I'm sad.
Apparently that's normal.
44
00:02:37,358 --> 00:02:39,057
Joan...
45
00:02:39,126 --> 00:02:41,460
Mom, you wanted me
to go talk to Dr. Dan.
I went and talked to Dr. Dan.
46
00:02:41,528 --> 00:02:43,094
I don't wanna
see him anymore.
Why not?
47
00:02:43,163 --> 00:02:45,697
He has nose hair.
That is not a reason.
48
00:02:45,766 --> 00:02:49,067
You can't keep dragging me
to the shrink every time
something bad happens.

just taking my daughter
to see a counselor.

That's your defense?
Her time ran out?

of human existence?

all those people you loved
and all the plans you had.

it must be really great

in the court when the jury's
staring at my client.

they would have done it
in your living room.

why the kids
have to participate.

the more lives

173
00:08:59,606 --> 00:09:03,041
So you skim
off the top elsewhere?
What kind of a man are you?
174
00:09:03,109 --> 00:09:05,526
The point is,
you sign up to play,
you give it everything.

the abbreviated lecture?
You're gonna make me late.

You're already late,
and this is not
how I raised you to think.

You've been on me all day.
Yeah, well, that's my job.

for the game, Will.

00:09:20,793 --> 00:09:23,094
Helen, please.
Please what?
182
00:09:23,162 --> 00:09:26,231
You're always
making excuses for him.
You encourage him.
183
00:09:26,299 --> 00:09:28,817
That's my crime?
I encourage my son?
184
00:09:28,885 --> 00:09:30,418
No. You baby him.
185
00:09:30,486 --> 00:09:32,453
He's a man,
and he needs to act like it.
186
00:09:32,522 --> 00:09:35,907
And he can't do that
if his mother's
still making his bed.

00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:39,944
Will, it's homecoming.
Try not to ruin it for him.

Wait, were we
supposed to prepare?

00:10:57,590 --> 00:11:00,859
I thought we just show up
and say yes or no.

That's your job.

count for a lot.

214

Failed.
215

I mean,
I've had D's before,

I'm supposed to be one, too,

what schools you think
I have a shot with?
268
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,525
My first choice would be
University of Texas, Austin.
269
00:14:04,594 --> 00:14:06,360
UT is a fine school.
270
00:14:06,429 --> 00:14:08,563

freaking out looks like.

that she has
no academic future?

(SIGHING)
518
00:29:11,517 --> 00:29:13,483
Mrs. Girardi,
if you would like
to make an appointment...
519
00:29:13,552 --> 00:29:17,921
Did you use the words,
while speaking to my daughter,
"no future"?
520
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:22,776
She was paraphrasing.
Well, paraphrase this.
521
00:29:22,844 --> 00:29:25,862
I'm in no mood for you
and your soul-destroying
tactics right now.
522

is being deposed
in a lawsuit,
523

I'm behind in my work,
524
00:29:30,402 --> 00:29:32,669
and I have to feed
my husband's horrible boss
tonight,
525
00:29:32,721 --> 00:29:35,572
so just cut the crap
and account for yourself.
526
00:29:35,641 --> 00:29:38,859
Did you tell my daughter
she has no future?
527
00:29:40,863 --> 00:29:43,147
I see her options as limited.
528
00:29:43,215 --> 00:29:46,816
See, I get that you are
disappointed in your own life.
529
00:29:46,885 --> 00:29:48,585
I don't blame you.
530
00:29:48,653 --> 00:29:52,355
But this girl
hasn't abandoned
her dreams yet.
531
00:29:52,424 --> 00:29:55,375
And so, to try
to steal that from her,
532
00:29:55,444 --> 00:29:57,961
to try to rob someone
of their future,
533
00:29:58,030 --> 00:30:01,331
I'm pretty sure
you go to hell for that.
534
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,350
Tell her you were wrong.
535
00:30:08,590 --> 00:30:09,973
Tell her.
536
00:30:17,649 --> 00:30:19,616
I might have overstated.
537
00:30:22,854 --> 00:30:24,154
Thank you.
538
00:30:32,031 --> 00:30:33,864
Mom, that was awesome.
539
00:30:33,933 --> 00:30:37,667
You, study harder,
get your act together.
You are going to college.
540
00:30:37,736 --> 00:30:40,971

no more casualties
in this family.

and I had to yell
at the vice principal today.

I told Will,
I mean, you know,
cooking is not necessary.
559
00:31:43,251 --> 00:31:45,485
I could have picked up
a bucket of chicken
on the way.

Oh, no, it was fine.
I'm happy to do it.

Let me chop something.
I'm good at that.

00:32:02,104 --> 00:32:04,738
No way could I do this job
without him.

This lawsuit thing
that you're going through,
man, that's...

Then when we got home,

um, Luke and I
decided to watch TV,
581
00:33:10,989 --> 00:33:13,190

seemed really long.
587
00:33:32,243 --> 00:33:35,912
I was staring
at everything going by
like it was all new,
588
00:33:35,981 --> 00:33:38,848
or like
I'd never see it again.
589
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:44,187
I remember thinking,
"This is the moment
where my whole life changes.

everything before this

"and everything after."

but I don't know
who I was praying to.
593

I was bargaining.

I'd do if he let Kevin live.

at my brother, Luke.

He was counting
on his fingers.

You have to understand.
598
00:34:12,550 --> 00:34:17,053
He's a math genius,
and he was counting
on his fingers.
599
00:34:18,156 --> 00:34:20,924
That's how screwed up he was,
600
00:34:20,992 --> 00:34:23,259
but I didn't feel sorry
for him.
I wanted to kill him,
601
00:34:23,328 --> 00:34:28,431
because I knew
he was counting the days
till his stupid birthday.
602
00:34:28,499 --> 00:34:30,399
He'd been talking
about this dumb kite,
603

to get excited about.

00:34:42,947 --> 00:34:45,198

after Kevin's accident.
