1
00:00:09,009 --> 00:00:10,378
HI.

2
00:00:10,478 --> 00:00:12,446
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO COME IN?

3
00:00:19,019 --> 00:00:20,154
LISTEN, OLIVER,

4
00:00:20,254 --> 00:00:21,855
THIS IS THE LAST CHANCE
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE

5
00:00:21,955 --> 00:00:24,292
TO TALK TO PAUL
BEFORE WE MOVE AWAY.

6
00:00:24,392 --> 00:00:26,527
DON'T YOU AT LEAST WANT
TO SAY GOODBYE TO HIM?

7
00:00:29,397 --> 00:00:31,965
OLIVER, YOUR MOM AND I
ARE GONNA BE

8
00:00:32,066 --> 00:00:33,601
IN MY OFFICE, TALKING.

9
00:00:33,701 --> 00:00:37,205
SO IF YOU FEEL LIKE IT,

10
00:00:37,305 --> 00:00:41,041
JUST COME IN AND JOIN US
ANYTIME YOU WANT, OKAY?

11
00:00:43,377 --> 00:00:44,612
WHATEVER.

12
00:00:51,652 --> 00:00:55,623
( theme music playing )

13
00:01:19,180 --> 00:01:20,781
I KNOW YOU HATE ME.

14
00:01:20,881 --> 00:01:23,217
WHY WOULD YOU
SAY THAT, BESS?

15
00:01:23,317 --> 00:01:25,719
I'M DOING EVERYTHING
YOU TOLD ME NOT TO DO.

16
00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:28,756
SO YOU HAVE--

17
00:01:28,856 --> 00:01:31,459
YOU HAVE DECIDED TO LEAVE?

18
00:01:31,559 --> 00:01:34,262
FIRST THING
SATURDAY MORNING,

19
00:01:34,362 --> 00:01:38,366
PACKING UP THE U-HAUL
AND DRIVING UPSTATE.

20
00:01:38,466 --> 00:01:41,969
CAN I ASK YOU HOW OLIVER IS
TAKING ALL THIS?

21
00:01:42,069 --> 00:01:44,138
VERY BADLY.

22
00:01:44,238 --> 00:01:46,407
THANKS FOR ASKING.

23
00:01:46,507 --> 00:01:48,842
HE'S BARELY SPOKEN
TO ME ALL WEEK.

24
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:51,145
AND WHEN HE DOES,

25
00:01:51,245 --> 00:01:55,383
WELL, HE'S FINDING MORE
AND MORE COLORFUL WAYS

26
00:01:55,483 --> 00:01:57,718
OF TELLING ME
TO FUCK OFF.

27
00:01:57,818 --> 00:01:59,720
IF YOU'VE ACCOMPLISHED
NOTHING ELSE HERE,

28
00:01:59,820 --> 00:02:03,524
YOU'VE CERTAINLY HELPED HIM
GET IN TOUCH WITH HIS ANGER.

29
00:02:03,624 --> 00:02:08,196
DO YOU FEEL THAT I HAVE
DISAPPOINTED YOU?

30
00:02:08,296 --> 00:02:11,131
IT'S EMBARRASSING
TO ADMIT THIS NOW,

31
00:02:11,232 --> 00:02:14,235
BUT WHEN HE FIRST
STARTED COMING HERE

32
00:02:14,335 --> 00:02:16,904
I WAS SURE
YOU'D BE ON MY SIDE.

33
00:02:17,004 --> 00:02:19,207
WERE YOU?

34
00:02:19,307 --> 00:02:21,975
WELL, YOU'RE SO SMART
AND REASONABLE,

35
00:02:22,075 --> 00:02:24,812
I THOUGHT
FOR SURE YOU'D BE ABLE
TO GET THROUGH TO OLIVER

36
00:02:24,912 --> 00:02:27,248
AND MAYBE EVEN KNOCK
SOME SENSE INTO LUKE.

37
00:02:27,348 --> 00:02:32,353
WELL, YOU HAD
HIGH HOPES FOR ME.

38
00:02:35,856 --> 00:02:40,394
THEN THAT NIGHT WHEN I CAME
TO PICK UP OLIVER'S TURTLE

39
00:02:40,494 --> 00:02:42,563
IT WAS SO CLEAR TO ME

40
00:02:42,663 --> 00:02:44,898
THAT YOU LIVE HERE
ALL ALONE.

41
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:49,303
AND SOMETHING ABOUT,
YOU KNOW, THE EMPTY PLACE--

42
00:02:49,403 --> 00:02:52,740
IT JUST SEEMED
FAMILIAR TO ME.

43
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:55,476
AND I THOUGHT--

44
00:02:55,576 --> 00:02:57,345
I THOUGHT WHEN I TOLD YOU
ABOUT MY NEW JOB,

45
00:02:57,445 --> 00:02:59,347
YOU'D BE MORE SYMPATHETIC.

46
00:02:59,447 --> 00:03:01,615
IT'S NOT THAT I'M NOT
SYMPATHETIC TO YOU,

47
00:03:01,715 --> 00:03:06,053
BUT MY JOB IS TO ADVOCATE
FOR OLIVER.

48
00:03:06,153 --> 00:03:09,623
SO IF I FEEL THAT YOU'RE NOT
ACTING IN HIS BEST INTEREST,

49
00:03:09,723 --> 00:03:11,625
I HAVE TO TELL YOU.

50
00:03:11,725 --> 00:03:14,595
BELIEVE ME, I KNOW THAT
WHERE OLIVER'S CONCERNED,

51
00:03:14,695 --> 00:03:18,266
I'M MAKING A BAD SITUATION
EVEN WORSE.

52
00:03:18,366 --> 00:03:21,969
BUT I CAN'T WAKE UP
IN THAT HOUSE ANYMORE.

53
00:03:22,069 --> 00:03:24,472
AND ALL I'M SAYING IS
THAT OLIVER NEEDS

54
00:03:24,572 --> 00:03:27,007
FAMILIAR THINGS
AROUND HIM NOW.

55
00:03:27,107 --> 00:03:29,009
AND IF HE DOESN'T GET
THOSE THINGS,

56
00:03:29,109 --> 00:03:33,814
THERE MAY VERY WELL BE
CONSEQUENCES.

57
00:03:33,914 --> 00:03:36,650
YOU KNOW THAT ANNOUNCEMENT
THEY MAKE ON PLANES

58
00:03:36,750 --> 00:03:38,452
ABOUT OXYGEN MASKS?

59
00:03:38,552 --> 00:03:41,422
YOU KNOW HOW YOU SHOULD
SECURE YOUR OWN MASK FIRST

60
00:03:41,522 --> 00:03:43,691
BEFORE YOU HELP YOUR CHILD
WITH HIS?

61
00:03:43,791 --> 00:03:46,527
I FEEL LIKE THAT'S WHAT
I'M DOING NOW.

62
00:03:46,627 --> 00:03:49,363
WELL, IF YOU WANT MY ADVICE,

63
00:03:49,463 --> 00:03:51,465
I'D SAY THAT YOU SHOULD
ADJUST YOUR MASK IMMEDIATELY,

64
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:53,901
BECAUSE YOUR SON REALLY
NEEDS YOUR HELP.

65
00:03:58,238 --> 00:03:59,840
YOU KNOW,
THE WAY YOU'RE TALKING,

66
00:03:59,940 --> 00:04:02,276
IT MAKES ME WONDER
IF I'VE SPENT OLIVER'S
WHOLE LIFE

67
00:04:02,376 --> 00:04:04,111
FINDING DIFFERENT WAYS
TO BE SELFISH WITH HIM.

68
00:04:04,211 --> 00:04:05,579
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

69
00:04:05,679 --> 00:04:08,316
WELL, I MEAN I HAD
OLIVER IN THE FIRST PLACE

70
00:04:08,416 --> 00:04:12,052
PARTLY BECAUSE
I WAS GRADUATING.

71
00:04:12,152 --> 00:04:13,454
I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO DO.

72
00:04:13,554 --> 00:04:15,789
AND THEN I SPENT
THE NEXT 12 YEARS

73
00:04:15,889 --> 00:04:18,359
ENTIRELY DEVOTED TO HIM,

74
00:04:18,459 --> 00:04:20,728
WHICH HELPED ME FORGET
THAT I WAS

75
00:04:20,828 --> 00:04:24,197
PATHOLOGICALLY INCAPABLE
OF FINISHING MY DEGREE

76
00:04:24,298 --> 00:04:26,500
AND THAT MY HUSBAND AND I

77
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,204
WEREN'T REALLY
GETTING ALONG ANYMORE.

78
00:04:31,305 --> 00:04:34,808
AND NOW HERE I AM
VIOLENTLY UPROOTING HIM

79
00:04:34,908 --> 00:04:36,877
ALL BECAUSE I NEED
A CHANGE OF SCENE.

80
00:04:36,977 --> 00:04:40,648
I THINK IT'S ONE
OF THE HARDEST THINGS
ABOUT BEING A PARENT--

81
00:04:40,748 --> 00:04:43,951
TRYING TO WEIGH
YOUR OWN NEEDS

82
00:04:44,051 --> 00:04:46,354
AGAINST THOSE
OF YOUR KID.

83
00:04:47,321 --> 00:04:49,757
IT'S A CONSTANT
BALANCING ACT.

84
00:04:52,326 --> 00:04:54,094
OLIVER TOLD ME

85
00:04:54,194 --> 00:04:56,497
LAST WEEK
ON THE PLAYGROUND

86
00:04:56,597 --> 00:04:58,566
HE ASKED IF HE COULD
COME LIVE WITH YOU.

87
00:04:58,666 --> 00:05:02,069
AND WHEN I SAID, "WHY?"
HE SAID

88
00:05:02,169 --> 00:05:05,606
BECAUSE HE'S HAPPIER WITH YOU
THAN HE IS WITH ME OR LUKE.

89
00:05:05,706 --> 00:05:07,375
IS THAT RIGHT?

90
00:05:07,475 --> 00:05:09,677
WELL, THAT'S WHAT HE SAID.

91
00:05:11,311 --> 00:05:12,413
IT'S PROBABLY THE TRUTH.

92
00:05:12,513 --> 00:05:13,681
I DON'T THINK
IT'S THE WHOLE TRUTH.

93
00:05:13,781 --> 00:05:16,116
WHAT HE REALLY NEEDS NOW
IS A HOME

94
00:05:16,216 --> 00:05:18,085
WHERE HE CAN FEEL SAFE.

95
00:05:18,185 --> 00:05:20,488
YOU NEED TO BUILD THAT
FOR HIM.

96
00:05:20,588 --> 00:05:23,090
THAT'S WHAT YOU'VE GOT
TO REMEMBER.

97
00:05:26,460 --> 00:05:29,430
HE ALSO SAID
HE WAS VERY ANGRY

98
00:05:29,530 --> 00:05:32,165
THAT YOU WOULDN'T TAKE HIM IN
WHEN HE ASKED YOU TO.

99
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:34,602
WELL, I THINK HE'S GOT
EVERY RIGHT TO BE.

100
00:05:38,672 --> 00:05:40,941
I THINK YOU'RE
HIS BEST FRIEND.

101
00:05:42,576 --> 00:05:44,878
AND I'M TAKING HIM
AWAY FROM YOU.

102
00:05:47,781 --> 00:05:50,418
I DON'T THINK HE'S EVER
GONNA FORGIVE ME FOR THAT.

103
00:05:50,518 --> 00:05:52,986
I DON'T THINK HE SHOULD.

104
00:05:53,086 --> 00:05:54,822
( knocks on door )

105
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:58,559
COME IN.

106
00:06:00,661 --> 00:06:04,264
OH, LUKE.
I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU.

107
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:06,867
I WAS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

108
00:06:06,967 --> 00:06:08,602
WHY DON'T YOU JOIN US?

109
00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:14,041
I'VE--

110
00:06:16,176 --> 00:06:18,646
I'VE BEEN
AT OUR OLD APARTMENT
ALL AFTERNOON,

111
00:06:18,746 --> 00:06:21,449
PACKING THINGS UP
TO PUT IN STORAGE.

112
00:06:21,549 --> 00:06:25,586
AND SUDDENLY
I JUST FELT

113
00:06:25,686 --> 00:06:28,088
THE NEED TO TALK
TO SOMEBODY.

114
00:06:28,188 --> 00:06:32,526
AND THEN I REMEMBERED
IT WAS WEDNESDAY AT 4:00,

115
00:06:32,626 --> 00:06:35,295
SO I FIGURED I'D ALREADY
PAID FOR THE HOUR, SO...

116
00:06:35,395 --> 00:06:38,832
WHEN YOU WERE KNOCKING
WE THOUGHT IT WAS OLIVER

117
00:06:38,932 --> 00:06:41,401
AND THAT HE WAS FINALLY
READY TO TALK.

118
00:06:41,502 --> 00:06:43,403
NO SUCH LUCK.

119
00:06:43,504 --> 00:06:45,439
HE'S SITTING THERE
LIKE HE'S GETTING READY

120
00:06:45,539 --> 00:06:47,407
TO STRANGLE SOMEBODY.

121
00:06:47,508 --> 00:06:49,042
WELL, AT LEAST HE HASN'T
RUN AWAY AGAIN.

122
00:06:49,142 --> 00:06:50,978
SMALL BLESSINGS, RIGHT?

123
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:56,049
YOU KNOW, I'M TAKING
THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS OFF

124
00:06:56,149 --> 00:06:58,519
TO BE WITH HIM BEFORE
HE AND BESS MOVE AWAY.

125
00:06:58,619 --> 00:07:01,755
BUT SINCE HE'S NOT
SPEAKING TO ME,

126
00:07:01,855 --> 00:07:06,560
I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF
ACTIVITIES WE'RE GONNA DO.

127
00:07:06,660 --> 00:07:08,796
I GUESS WE COULD PLAY
A LOT OF CHARADES, YOU KNOW?

128
00:07:10,598 --> 00:07:14,434
YOU SAID YOU WANTED
TO TALK ABOUT SOMETHING.

129
00:07:16,169 --> 00:07:17,838
WHAT IS IT?

130
00:07:19,573 --> 00:07:22,576
I DON'T KNOW,
JUST THIS MEMORY
I WAS HAVING

131
00:07:22,676 --> 00:07:25,513
OF THE THREE OF US
MOVING INTO THAT PLACE

132
00:07:25,613 --> 00:07:27,781
WHEN OLIVER WAS A BABY.

133
00:07:29,483 --> 00:07:31,752
I DON'T KNOW
HOW WE THOUGHT

134
00:07:31,852 --> 00:07:34,755
WE COULD AFFORD A WHOLE
BROWNSTONE FLOOR.

135
00:07:36,023 --> 00:07:38,659
WE WERE LIVING
SO FAR BEYOND OUR MEANS.

136
00:07:39,660 --> 00:07:42,195
AND THE PLACE WAS
A COMPLETE WRECK.

137
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:44,732
THE PLASTER
WAS CRUMBLING.

138
00:07:44,832 --> 00:07:46,734
THE WALLS WERE
JUST BUCKLING.

139
00:07:46,834 --> 00:07:49,970
THERE WERE EXPOSED WIRES
EVERYWHERE YOU LOOKED.

140
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:54,207
YEAH, WE WERE SO DELUDED,
WE THOUGHT

141
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:55,809
WE COULD ACTUALLY
FIX IT UP OURSELVES.

142
00:07:55,909 --> 00:07:58,779
THERE WAS THIS PIPE
IN THE BATHROOM

143
00:07:58,879 --> 00:08:02,883
THAT KEPT SPURTING
LITTLE DROPS OF HOT WATER
INTO THE AIR.

144
00:08:02,983 --> 00:08:06,386
I NEVER COULD FIX IT,
SO WE HAD TO KEEP THE WINDOW
OPEN ALL THE TIME

145
00:08:06,486 --> 00:08:08,155
'CAUSE IT WAS
LIKE A SAUNA IN THERE.

146
00:08:08,255 --> 00:08:09,590
EXCEPT IT WAS
THE DEAD OF WINTER.

147
00:08:09,690 --> 00:08:11,759
AND SO ONE MORNING
I WAS BRUSHING MY TEETH

148
00:08:11,859 --> 00:08:16,196
AND THE WARM AIR
FROM THE WATER PIPE

149
00:08:16,296 --> 00:08:18,398
MET THE COLD AIR
FROM THE WINDOW

150
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:20,233
AND IT STARTED RAINING
ON ME INSIDE.

151
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:22,169
( laughs )

152
00:08:40,988 --> 00:08:42,623
THE TWO OF YOU

153
00:08:42,723 --> 00:08:45,626
HAVE AN EASE
WITH EACH OTHER

154
00:08:45,726 --> 00:08:48,095
THAT I'VE NEVER
SEEN BEFORE.

155
00:08:48,195 --> 00:08:50,297
WHY DO YOU THINK
THAT IS?

156
00:08:55,002 --> 00:08:56,904
'CAUSE IT'S OVER.

157
00:09:02,175 --> 00:09:06,146
YOU KNEW IT
A LONG TIME BEFORE I DID.

158
00:09:06,246 --> 00:09:09,617
AND THEN EVEN WHEN
IT WAS REALLY CLEAR TO ME,

159
00:09:09,717 --> 00:09:12,586
I WAS JUST TOO STUBBORN
TO LET GO.

160
00:09:12,686 --> 00:09:14,722
I WAS PRETTY STUBBORN
MYSELF.

161
00:09:15,355 --> 00:09:17,424
I WAS TRYING

162
00:09:17,524 --> 00:09:19,927
TO GET YOU TO BE
SOMEBODY YOU WEREN'T

163
00:09:21,461 --> 00:09:23,330
IN A MARRIAGE
I DIDN'T WANT.

164
00:09:26,399 --> 00:09:27,768
YEAH.

165
00:09:34,141 --> 00:09:37,310
WE WERE JUST CHILDREN

166
00:09:39,079 --> 00:09:40,748
PLAYING HOUSE.

167
00:09:41,915 --> 00:09:43,651
IF WE DIDN'T
HAVE OLIVER...

168
00:09:43,751 --> 00:09:46,586
ALL THIS TIME AND EFFORT,
AND THAT'S ALL WE ARE--

169
00:09:48,856 --> 00:09:53,126
JUST TWO PEOPLE
WHO SHOULD HAVE NEVER
GOTTEN MARRIED.

170
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:56,463
LOOK, I'M SURE
THAT YOUR UNDERSTANDING

171
00:09:56,563 --> 00:09:58,799
OF WHAT YOU ARE
TO EACH OTHER

172
00:09:58,899 --> 00:10:01,568
WILL CONTINUE
TO EVOLVE AND CHANGE.

173
00:10:01,669 --> 00:10:05,005
BUT NOW THAT YOU'VE
REACHED THIS POINT,

174
00:10:05,105 --> 00:10:07,641
PERHAPS WE CAN STOP
BLAMING EACH OTHER

175
00:10:07,741 --> 00:10:10,443
FOR ALL THE WAYS THAT
YOU'VE FAILED YOUR SON.

176
00:10:10,543 --> 00:10:12,612
AND MAYBE YOU CAN FINALLY
WORK TOGETHER

177
00:10:12,713 --> 00:10:14,347
TO BE HIS PARENTS.

178
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:17,150
BECAUSE EVEN IF YOU FEEL

179
00:10:17,250 --> 00:10:19,687
THAT YOU'VE ALWAYS BEEN
WRONG FOR EACH OTHER,

180
00:10:19,787 --> 00:10:22,322
HE IS THE ONE THING--

181
00:10:22,422 --> 00:10:24,324
THE ONE
EXTRAORDINARY THING

182
00:10:24,424 --> 00:10:26,626
THAT YOU HAVE
BUILT TOGETHER.

183
00:10:38,672 --> 00:10:42,009
I'D BETTER GET BACK
TO THE APARTMENT

184
00:10:42,109 --> 00:10:43,844
'CAUSE I HAVE A LOT
OF PACKING TO DO.

185
00:10:43,944 --> 00:10:46,379
YOU WANT ME
TO COME OVER LATER,
HELP YOU PACK UP?

186
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:48,615
ACTUALLY, I THOUGHT

187
00:10:48,716 --> 00:10:51,985
MAYBE YOU'D LIKE
TO TAKE OLIVER TONIGHT.

188
00:10:52,085 --> 00:10:54,788
WELL, I THOUGHT I WASN'T
SUPPOSED TO GET HIM
UNTIL TOMORROW.

189
00:10:54,888 --> 00:10:56,790
YEAH, IT JUST OCCURRED TO ME
THAT MAYBE YOU'D LIKE

190
00:10:56,890 --> 00:10:59,159
TO SPEND SOME MORE TIME
WITH HIM BEFORE WE LEAVE.

191
00:11:02,963 --> 00:11:04,431
OKAY.

192
00:11:07,067 --> 00:11:09,770
OKAY, I'M GOING TO SEE
IF I CAN GET OLIVER

193
00:11:09,870 --> 00:11:11,839
TO COME IN AND TALK.

194
00:11:14,908 --> 00:11:18,078
BESS, I JUST WANT TO SAY

195
00:11:18,178 --> 00:11:22,082
THAT I KNOW THAT I'VE BEEN
HARSH AT TIMES,

196
00:11:22,182 --> 00:11:24,918
BUT I REALLY ADMIRE
YOUR COURAGE.

197
00:11:28,688 --> 00:11:30,190
THANK YOU.

198
00:11:36,663 --> 00:11:41,234
( door opens and closes )

199
00:11:57,184 --> 00:11:58,318
SO...

200
00:12:00,287 --> 00:12:02,155
NOW I GET THE NEXT
TWO AND A HALF DAYS

201
00:12:02,255 --> 00:12:04,391
TO MAKE UP
FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS.

202
00:12:05,893 --> 00:12:07,060
ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT

203
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,662
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN
ONCE OLIVER MOVES AWAY?

204
00:12:09,763 --> 00:12:11,765
BESS WILL BE TRYING
TO TAKE CARE OF OLIVER

205
00:12:11,865 --> 00:12:14,034
WHILE SHE'S STARTING
A NEW JOB.

206
00:12:14,134 --> 00:12:15,869
I'LL BE DRIVING
UP THERE AND BACK

207
00:12:15,969 --> 00:12:17,938
TWICE EVERY WEEKEND.

208
00:12:18,038 --> 00:12:21,408
OLIVER WILL PROBABLY BE MORE
MISERABLE THAN HE IS NOW.

209
00:12:21,508 --> 00:12:23,844
IT'LL BE A DISASTER.

210
00:12:23,944 --> 00:12:25,813
ARE YOU ABSOLUTELY SURE

211
00:12:25,913 --> 00:12:27,714
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
THAT YOU CAN DO?

212
00:12:27,815 --> 00:12:29,716
I'VE GONE OVER IT
A MILLION TIMES IN MY HEAD,

213
00:12:29,817 --> 00:12:31,451
AND I JUST DON'T KNOW
WHAT ELSE TO DO.

214
00:12:34,721 --> 00:12:37,891
WHAT, YOU THINK I'M EXCITED
ABOUT BEING A DIVORCED DAD,

215
00:12:37,991 --> 00:12:41,962
ONLY SEEING MY KID
ON THE WEEKEND?

216
00:12:42,062 --> 00:12:43,964
IT'S NOT THE WAY
I WANTED IT.

217
00:12:44,064 --> 00:12:47,234
DO YOU FEEL LIKE
YOU'VE FAILED OLIVER?

218
00:12:47,334 --> 00:12:50,070
OF COURSE I DO.

219
00:12:50,170 --> 00:12:53,473
I KNOW WHAT IT FELT LIKE
TO HAVE MY FATHER ERASE ME.

220
00:12:55,909 --> 00:12:57,544
IT'S THE MAIN REASON
WHY I STAYED MARRIED

221
00:12:57,644 --> 00:12:59,246
ALL THESE YEARS,

222
00:13:00,747 --> 00:13:02,916
TRYING TO AVOID WHAT'S
HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

223
00:13:03,016 --> 00:13:05,886
IT'S NOT TOO LATE
TO UNDO ALL THIS, YOU KNOW.

224
00:13:05,986 --> 00:13:07,454
YES, IT IS.

225
00:13:07,554 --> 00:13:10,157
I'VE ALREADY LOST HIM.

226
00:13:10,257 --> 00:13:14,027
THAT'S BECOME CLEAR OVER
THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS.

227
00:13:14,127 --> 00:13:16,629
OH, YEAH, HE'LL LET ME
BUY HIM SOME SNEAKERS

228
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:18,165
OR TAKE HIM TO SEE
THE KNICKS,

229
00:13:18,265 --> 00:13:20,267
BUT HE WON'T COME TO ME
WHEN HE HAS PROBLEMS.

230
00:13:20,367 --> 00:13:23,837
LOOK, HE MAY BE
PULLING AWAY FROM YOU NOW
BECAUSE HE'S ANGRY,

231
00:13:23,937 --> 00:13:27,474
BUT HE STILL NEEDS YOU
VERY MUCH.

232
00:13:27,574 --> 00:13:30,543
I NEVER REALLY LEARNED
HOW TO TAKE CARE OF HIM.

233
00:13:30,643 --> 00:13:33,080
I ALWAYS PASSED HIM OFF
TO BESS.

234
00:13:37,650 --> 00:13:39,486
TRUTH IS,

235
00:13:39,586 --> 00:13:43,356
I PROBABLY NEVER
WANTED TO BE A FATHER
IN THE FIRST PLACE.

236
00:13:43,456 --> 00:13:45,058
DO YOU LOVE YOUR SON?

237
00:13:45,158 --> 00:13:46,860
YES.

238
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,729
OF COURSE.

239
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:53,266
BUT LOOK WHAT I DID
LAST WEEK.

240
00:13:53,366 --> 00:13:57,404
I MEAN, BESS SAYS
SHE'S MOVING AWAY,

241
00:13:57,504 --> 00:14:01,274
AND I DIDN'T LIFT A FINGER
TO FIGHT FOR OLIVER.

242
00:14:01,374 --> 00:14:03,610
I PRACTICALLY FORCED HER
TO TAKE HIM...

243
00:14:06,413 --> 00:14:08,381
BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW
HOW TO HANDLE HIM.

244
00:14:09,349 --> 00:14:10,984
I UNDERSTAND
THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS

245
00:14:11,084 --> 00:14:12,652
THAT YOU WISH
YOU'D DONE DIFFERENTLY,

246
00:14:12,752 --> 00:14:14,654
BUT THAT'S IN THE PAST.

247
00:14:14,754 --> 00:14:16,489
THE ONLY THING
THAT REALLY MATTERS NOW

248
00:14:16,589 --> 00:14:19,492
IS THE KIND OF FATHER
YOU'RE GOING TO BE TO OLIVER

249
00:14:19,592 --> 00:14:21,128
FROM HERE ON OUT.

250
00:14:21,228 --> 00:14:23,196
RIGHT, SO WHAT DO WE
HAVE TO LOOK FORWARD TO?

251
00:14:23,296 --> 00:14:26,599
I'LL SEE HIM
LESS AND LESS.

252
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:28,868
RIGHT?

253
00:14:28,969 --> 00:14:31,638
I'LL BECOME THE MAN
WHO WRITES THE CHECKS.

254
00:14:31,738 --> 00:14:33,440
LOOK, IT DOESN'T HAVE
TO BE THAT BLEAK.

255
00:14:33,540 --> 00:14:36,343
YOU HAVE A LOT OF CONTROL
OVER HOW BIG A PART

256
00:14:36,443 --> 00:14:38,045
YOU PLAY IN HIS LIFE.

257
00:14:38,145 --> 00:14:40,647
BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS,
YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH OLIVER--

258
00:14:40,747 --> 00:14:43,283
IT'S NEVER GOING
TO BE OVER.

259
00:14:43,383 --> 00:14:46,519
HE'LL ALWAYS WANT YOU
TO BE HIS FATHER.

260
00:14:46,619 --> 00:14:49,189
SO YOU CAN'T EVER
GIVE UP ON HIM

261
00:14:49,289 --> 00:14:51,091
OR YOURSELF.

262
00:14:53,526 --> 00:14:54,794
ALL RIGHT.

263
00:14:54,894 --> 00:14:56,563
I UNDERSTAND.

264
00:14:58,165 --> 00:15:01,401
SO DO YOU HAVE
ANY TIPS TO GIVE ME,

265
00:15:01,501 --> 00:15:05,138
ANY WORDS OF WISDOM
BEFORE YOU PUNCH OUT?

266
00:15:05,238 --> 00:15:07,440
NOTHING THAT YOU REALLY
WANT TO HEAR.

267
00:15:07,540 --> 00:15:09,642
THE TRUTH IS, LUKE,
THERE'S A GOOD CHANCE

268
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:13,013
THINGS ARE GOING TO GET WORSE
FOR OLIVER AND FOR YOU.

269
00:15:13,113 --> 00:15:17,350
FOR A LONG TIME HE IS
GOING TO BE VERY ANGRY AT YOU.

270
00:15:17,450 --> 00:15:19,419
AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
KEEP LOVING HIM

271
00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:21,854
NO MATTER WHAT.

272
00:15:21,955 --> 00:15:24,791
YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO LET HIM
HAVE HIS ANGER.

273
00:15:24,891 --> 00:15:28,928
AND YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE TO TAKE IT,
JUST LET HIM BE WHO HE IS.

274
00:15:29,029 --> 00:15:32,065
- SO JUST TAKE IT?
- AND KEEP SHOWING UP.

275
00:15:34,034 --> 00:15:35,768
ALL RIGHT, I THINK
I CAN DO THAT.

276
00:15:35,868 --> 00:15:37,304
AND TAKE IT
STEP BY STEP.

277
00:15:37,404 --> 00:15:39,772
RIGHT NOW YOU'VE GOT
TWO AND A HALF DAYS WITH HIM

278
00:15:39,872 --> 00:15:43,210
ALL TO YOURSELF.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.

279
00:15:49,549 --> 00:15:50,917
ALL RIGHT.

280
00:15:51,018 --> 00:15:52,419
UH...

281
00:15:54,821 --> 00:15:56,223
YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE GO,

282
00:15:56,323 --> 00:15:57,790
I THINK YOU AND OLIVER
SHOULD TALK.

283
00:15:57,890 --> 00:16:00,427
YEAH, LET'S JOIN HIM.

284
00:16:08,868 --> 00:16:12,372
HEY, OLIVER, IT'S ALMOST
TIME TO HEAD OUT.

285
00:16:12,472 --> 00:16:15,142
DO YOU WANT
TO GO INTO THE OFFICE
AND SAY GOODBYE TO PAUL?

286
00:16:27,420 --> 00:16:30,290
I UNDERSTAND WHY YOU MIGHT BE
MAD WITH EVERYTHING,

287
00:16:31,558 --> 00:16:34,261
BUT YOU KNOW
NONE OF IT IS PAUL'S FAULT.

288
00:16:35,395 --> 00:16:37,697
AND I KNOW
YOU LIKE HIM A LOT.

289
00:16:37,797 --> 00:16:39,699
AND HE REALLY CARES
ABOUT YOU TOO.

290
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:46,406
MAYBE YOU'RE FEELING
TOO ANGRY TO TALK RIGHT NOW,

291
00:16:47,574 --> 00:16:49,142
BUT SOMEDAY

292
00:16:49,242 --> 00:16:52,445
I BET YOU WON'T BE
SO ANGRY ANYMORE

293
00:16:52,545 --> 00:16:55,315
AND YOU'LL MISS HIM.

294
00:16:55,415 --> 00:16:57,717
AND YOU'LL BE GLAD
YOU HAD THE OPPORTUNITY

295
00:16:57,817 --> 00:16:59,319
TO SEE HIM TODAY.

296
00:17:01,754 --> 00:17:03,356
SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?

297
00:17:13,833 --> 00:17:15,135
OKAY.

298
00:17:17,470 --> 00:17:18,805
ALL RIGHT.

299
00:17:22,742 --> 00:17:24,211
THANK YOU, LUKE.

300
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,696
HOW ARE YOU?

301
00:17:43,796 --> 00:17:46,099
YOU DIDN'T HELP ME AT ALL.

302
00:17:48,901 --> 00:17:50,503
LOOK,

303
00:17:52,805 --> 00:17:54,807
I'M SORRY
I LET YOU DOWN.

304
00:17:54,907 --> 00:17:56,709
EVERYTHING GOT WORSE.

305
00:17:56,809 --> 00:17:59,312
I WISH I COULD SOLVE
ALL YOUR PROBLEMS, OLIVER,

306
00:17:59,412 --> 00:18:02,615
BUT I JUST-- I CAN'T.

307
00:18:02,715 --> 00:18:05,785
BUT ONE THING I CAN DO

308
00:18:05,885 --> 00:18:08,255
IS TALK WITH YOU

309
00:18:08,355 --> 00:18:10,990
ABOUT EVERYTHING
THAT'S GOING ON.

310
00:18:11,090 --> 00:18:13,126
SO WHAT?

311
00:18:13,226 --> 00:18:15,094
WELL, FOR ONE THING,

312
00:18:15,195 --> 00:18:17,430
MAYBE IT WILL HELP YOU
FEEL LESS ALONE.

313
00:18:17,530 --> 00:18:18,631
I AM ALONE.

314
00:18:18,731 --> 00:18:21,000
AND I'M NOT GONNA
GET TO SEE YOU ANYMORE.

315
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:22,402
I KNOW.

316
00:18:22,502 --> 00:18:25,805
AND THAT'S WHY
I'M REALLY GLAD

317
00:18:25,905 --> 00:18:27,774
THAT WE HAD THIS CHANCE

318
00:18:27,874 --> 00:18:29,842
JUST TO TALK.

319
00:18:34,514 --> 00:18:36,048
WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME
ABOUT YOUR WEEK?

320
00:18:36,149 --> 00:18:38,084
LET'S BEGIN THERE.

321
00:18:38,185 --> 00:18:40,820
TODAY WAS
MY LAST DAY AT SCHOOL.

322
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:44,224
OH, AND HOW DID THAT GO?

323
00:18:44,324 --> 00:18:46,759
THEY HAD A GOING-AWAY
PARTY FOR ME.

324
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:48,695
MY TEACHER MADE BROWNIES.

325
00:18:48,795 --> 00:18:51,798
AND ERIC WASN'T THERE,
SO THAT WAS GOOD.

326
00:18:51,898 --> 00:18:53,200
WHY WASN'T ERIC THERE?

327
00:18:53,300 --> 00:18:55,302
HE WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.

328
00:18:55,402 --> 00:18:57,504
WHAT'S ERIC DOING
IN THE HOSPITAL?

329
00:18:57,604 --> 00:19:00,573
HE WAS LIGHTING
SOME M-80s

330
00:19:00,673 --> 00:19:03,810
AND THEY EXPLODED
AND BLEW HIS PINKIE OFF.

331
00:19:03,910 --> 00:19:06,078
OH.

332
00:19:06,179 --> 00:19:09,216
THAT'S PRETTY AWFUL FOR ERIC,
DON'T YOU THINK?

333
00:19:09,316 --> 00:19:12,352
WHY DO YOU THINK
HE PICKED ON YOU SO MUCH?

334
00:19:12,452 --> 00:19:14,287
DO YOU THINK
IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

335
00:19:14,387 --> 00:19:16,856
BECAUSE HE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS
OF HIS OWN, YOU KNOW?

336
00:19:19,592 --> 00:19:20,827
MAYBE.

337
00:19:20,927 --> 00:19:22,729
SO HOW IS MAYA DOING?

338
00:19:24,364 --> 00:19:26,266
SHE GOT ME
A GOING-AWAY GIFT.

339
00:19:26,366 --> 00:19:28,935
COOL.
WHAT DID SHE GET?

340
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:33,273
( chuckles )
THAT'S SWEET.

341
00:19:36,142 --> 00:19:38,245
YOU'RE GONNA MISS HER,
RIGHT?

342
00:19:45,385 --> 00:19:48,488
I'LL MISS MY HOUSE.

343
00:19:48,588 --> 00:19:51,824
YOUR DAD TOLD ME
THAT HE CAME OVER TODAY
TO HELP YOU PACK.

344
00:19:51,924 --> 00:19:53,893
HOW WAS THAT?

345
00:19:53,993 --> 00:19:55,662
WEIRD.

346
00:19:55,762 --> 00:19:57,897
LIKE HE WAS LIVING
WITH US AGAIN,

347
00:19:57,997 --> 00:20:00,467
EXCEPT HE WASN'T.

348
00:20:00,567 --> 00:20:03,770
HE AND MY MOM BOTH
STARTED TO CRY A LITTLE.

349
00:20:03,870 --> 00:20:06,172
BOTH OF THEM?

350
00:20:06,273 --> 00:20:09,609
SO WHAT WAS THAT LIKE?

351
00:20:09,709 --> 00:20:11,544
I HATED IT.

352
00:20:11,644 --> 00:20:13,246
YOU KNOW, ONCE WHEN I WAS
ABOUT YOUR AGE

353
00:20:13,346 --> 00:20:16,716
I SAW MY DAD CRY.

354
00:20:16,816 --> 00:20:20,287
HE WAS HAVING A BIG FIGHT
WITH MY MOM.

355
00:20:20,387 --> 00:20:22,422
THEY WERE YELLING
AT EACH OTHER.

356
00:20:22,522 --> 00:20:25,024
I JUST WANTED THEM
TO STOP.

357
00:20:25,124 --> 00:20:29,296
I GUESS I WANTED THEM
TO BE JUST HAPPY.

358
00:20:29,396 --> 00:20:32,965
AND IT MADE ME SO PISSED

359
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:34,967
WHEN I FOUND OUT

360
00:20:35,067 --> 00:20:37,904
THAT THEY WEREN'T.

361
00:20:38,004 --> 00:20:41,408
SO WHAT DID YOU DO?

362
00:20:41,508 --> 00:20:44,311
WELL, I STAYED PISSED AT THEM

363
00:20:44,411 --> 00:20:46,979
FOR A LONG TIME.

364
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:49,282
AND THEN I REALIZED

365
00:20:49,382 --> 00:20:51,418
THAT EVEN THOUGH

366
00:20:51,518 --> 00:20:54,020
MY MOM AND DAD GOT UPSET

367
00:20:54,120 --> 00:20:57,223
AND THEY MADE BIG MISTAKES
SOMETIMES,

368
00:20:57,324 --> 00:21:01,394
THEY STILL LOVED ME.

369
00:21:01,494 --> 00:21:04,997
WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

370
00:21:05,097 --> 00:21:09,101
OKAY, IF YOU'RE NOT GETTING
SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED,

371
00:21:09,201 --> 00:21:11,338
TELL THEM.

372
00:21:11,438 --> 00:21:13,640
IF YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY SOMETHING IS HAPPENING,

373
00:21:13,740 --> 00:21:15,942
SAY, "CAN YOU PLEASE
EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?"

374
00:21:16,042 --> 00:21:19,178
AND IF THINGS GET REALLY
UPSETTING AND CONFUSING,

375
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:21,581
CALL ME.

376
00:21:21,681 --> 00:21:23,316
THAT WAY WE CAN
WORK TOGETHER

377
00:21:23,416 --> 00:21:25,552
TO TRY AND SOLVE
THE PROBLEM.

378
00:21:27,654 --> 00:21:29,456
( sighs )

379
00:21:33,426 --> 00:21:35,595
DOES YOUR SON LIVE
FAR AWAY?

380
00:21:35,695 --> 00:21:37,897
MM-HMM.

381
00:21:37,997 --> 00:21:42,535
I GO VISIT HIM
ON WEEKENDS.

382
00:21:42,635 --> 00:21:45,237
THIS SATURDAY I'M TAKING HIM
TO THE AIR AND SPACE MUSEUM

383
00:21:45,338 --> 00:21:47,206
IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

384
00:21:47,306 --> 00:21:49,275
HE LIKES TO LOOK
AT THE ROCKETS

385
00:21:49,376 --> 00:21:51,878
AND THE SATELLITES
ESPECIALLY.

386
00:21:53,913 --> 00:21:55,815
DO YOU MISS HIM?

387
00:21:55,915 --> 00:21:59,786
YEAH, ALL THE TIME.

388
00:21:59,886 --> 00:22:02,054
BUT, SEE, I'M WITH HIM

389
00:22:02,154 --> 00:22:06,593
WHENEVER I CAN BE.

390
00:22:06,693 --> 00:22:11,197
AND I'M ALWAYS THINKING
ABOUT HIM.

391
00:22:11,297 --> 00:22:13,600
I MEAN, WE TALK
ON THE PHONE EVERY DAY.

392
00:22:13,700 --> 00:22:16,769
SO I GET TO HEAR
WHAT HE HAS TO SAY

393
00:22:16,869 --> 00:22:19,872
AND I GET TO TELL HIM
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME.

394
00:22:24,010 --> 00:22:25,044
THAT REMINDS ME--

395
00:22:25,144 --> 00:22:27,380
I'VE GOT TO MAKE A CALL.

396
00:22:29,482 --> 00:22:31,584
CAN YOU GIVE ME A SEC?

397
00:22:42,562 --> 00:22:45,432
( phone ringing )

398
00:22:51,037 --> 00:22:51,871
HELLO.

399
00:22:51,971 --> 00:22:53,906
HEY, OLIVER.

400
00:22:54,707 --> 00:22:57,544
IT'S PAUL IN BROOKLYN.

401
00:22:57,644 --> 00:22:59,311
I JUST THOUGHT
I'D CHECK IN

402
00:22:59,412 --> 00:23:02,348
AND SEE HOW THINGS
WERE GOING UPSTATE.

403
00:23:02,449 --> 00:23:05,017
- THIS IS DUMB.
- ( chuckles )

404
00:23:06,152 --> 00:23:07,954
SO HOW ARE YOU?

405
00:23:09,088 --> 00:23:10,790
WHEN DID YOU MOVE IN?

406
00:23:12,992 --> 00:23:14,461
LAST WEEK.

407
00:23:14,561 --> 00:23:16,963
AND HOW HAS IT BEEN
GOING SO FAR?

408
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:20,399
OKAY, I GUESS.

409
00:23:20,500 --> 00:23:22,234
WHERE'S YOUR HOUSE?

410
00:23:22,334 --> 00:23:24,336
IN THE MIDDLE
OF NOWHERE.

411
00:23:24,437 --> 00:23:25,872
DO YOU LIKE YOUR ROOM?

412
00:23:25,972 --> 00:23:27,239
NOT REALLY.

413
00:23:27,339 --> 00:23:29,442
IN BROOKLYN, MY ROOM
IS PAINTED BLUE.

414
00:23:29,542 --> 00:23:31,944
WHAT IF YOU AND YOUR MOM
GO TO THE HARDWARE STORE

415
00:23:32,044 --> 00:23:34,180
AND BUY SOME BLUE PAINT?

416
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:37,416
THAT WAY YOUR ROOM
CAN LOOK

417
00:23:37,517 --> 00:23:39,418
THE SAME AS IT DID
IN BROOKLYN.

418
00:23:39,519 --> 00:23:40,787
I GUESS.

419
00:23:40,887 --> 00:23:43,255
HOW ARE YOU AND YOUR MOM
GETTING ON THESE DAYS?

420
00:23:43,355 --> 00:23:45,958
SHE'S REALLY BUSY.

421
00:23:46,058 --> 00:23:47,727
SHE'S TEACHING A LOT,

422
00:23:47,827 --> 00:23:49,629
SO I DON'T GET
TO SEE HER VERY MUCH.

423
00:23:49,729 --> 00:23:52,364
BUT YOU HAVE DINNER TOGETHER
EVERY NIGHT, YEAH?

424
00:23:52,465 --> 00:23:53,866
YEAH.

425
00:23:53,966 --> 00:23:57,637
AND THEN YOU TELL HER
ALL ABOUT YOUR DAY.

426
00:23:57,737 --> 00:24:00,172
YEAH.

427
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:02,975
HAS YOUR DAD COME UP
TO VISIT YOU?

428
00:24:03,075 --> 00:24:04,944
NOT YET,

429
00:24:05,044 --> 00:24:07,146
BUT THIS WEEKEND
HE'S COMING TO GET ME

430
00:24:07,246 --> 00:24:08,280
AND WE'RE GOING
TO THE CITY.

431
00:24:08,380 --> 00:24:09,782
COOL.

432
00:24:09,882 --> 00:24:11,651
BUT I'M NOT SURE WHAT
WE'RE GONNA DO THERE.

433
00:24:11,751 --> 00:24:14,253
WHEN YOU TALK TO HIM,

434
00:24:14,353 --> 00:24:16,556
MAYBE YOU COULD JUST
MAKE A LIST

435
00:24:16,656 --> 00:24:18,558
OF THE THINGS
THAT YOU WANT TO DO--

436
00:24:18,658 --> 00:24:21,661
MAYBE, I DON'T KNOW,
GO TO A BASKETBALL GAME,

437
00:24:21,761 --> 00:24:23,663
MAYBE EVEN GO BACK
TO THAT RESTAURANT

438
00:24:23,763 --> 00:24:25,431
WHERE YOU HAD
THE PAELLA.

439
00:24:25,532 --> 00:24:27,867
THAT'D BE FUN.

440
00:24:27,967 --> 00:24:30,637
SO HOW ARE THINGS
GOING AT SCHOOL?

441
00:24:30,737 --> 00:24:33,840
ALL THE KIDS ARE STRANGE.

442
00:24:33,940 --> 00:24:36,643
I BET THERE'S
ONE OR TWO KIDS

443
00:24:36,743 --> 00:24:39,078
THAT YOU KIND OF LIKE.

444
00:24:42,448 --> 00:24:45,384
IT'S GONNA TAKE A WHILE,
OLIVER.

445
00:24:45,484 --> 00:24:49,321
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE
NEW AND STRANGE FOR A BIT.

446
00:24:49,421 --> 00:24:51,858
BUT I THINK
YOU'RE GONNA DO OKAY.

447
00:24:51,958 --> 00:24:54,360
I THINK THINGS ARE
GONNA WORK OUT

448
00:24:54,460 --> 00:24:57,096
AND YOU'RE JUST GOING
TO BE FINE.

449
00:25:01,333 --> 00:25:02,501
I HAVE TO GO NOW.

450
00:25:02,602 --> 00:25:04,671
OH, IT'S DINNER TIME?

451
00:25:04,771 --> 00:25:07,006
YEAH, I'LL CALL YOU
NEXT WEEK.

452
00:25:09,008 --> 00:25:10,643
GOODBYE, OLIVER.

453
00:25:32,565 --> 00:25:34,266
I SHOULD GO NOW.

454
00:25:35,802 --> 00:25:38,137
WELL, WE STILL HAVE
A LITTLE BIT OF TIME.

455
00:25:39,806 --> 00:25:42,809
IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE

456
00:25:42,909 --> 00:25:44,944
THAT YOU WANT
TO TALK ABOUT?

457
00:25:59,726 --> 00:26:02,762
( music playing )
