A Husband, A Wife and A Lover (1996) US Movie
Transcript
00:00:30That's right, put a little bit of that in there, save the rest of the margarita, the
00:00:37tops and the bottoms.
00:00:38Put a little bit more oil in there, it's going to make it easier for it to move.
00:00:39Bill, take a little bit more in there.
00:00:40A better band there.
00:00:41A few more asparagus.
00:00:42Where are the sausages, please?
00:00:43Two.
00:00:44That's beautiful.
00:00:45Cover it, put it over there.
00:00:46But yeah, take more asparagus.
00:00:47A little bit more.
00:00:49A little bit more salt and pepper on those.
00:00:50It looks great.
00:00:51Just great.
00:00:52Now get it into the freezer right away.
00:00:53Go.
00:00:54Go.
00:00:55Right.
00:00:56I'll be behind you.
00:00:57Okay.
00:00:58Careful.
00:00:59Okay.
00:01:00Okay.
00:01:01Okay.
00:01:02Okay.
00:01:03Okay.

00:01:09Okay.
00:01:10Okay.
00:01:11Okay.
00:01:12Okay.
00:01:13Okay.
00:01:14Okay.
00:01:15Okay.
00:01:16Okay.
00:01:18Oh, it must have been something.
00:01:20Hi.
00:01:21Are you a waiter or a bartender?
00:01:25You want the owner, Vivian.
00:01:27No, I want you.
00:01:28Hello.
00:01:29Can I help you?
00:01:30It's personal.
00:01:34What are you talking about?
00:01:35Your husband's in big trouble.
00:01:37The Peeplee-Os want their money by five o'clock.
00:01:41Otherwise there's gonna be a knock at your door.
00:01:43There's going to be a knock at your door.
00:01:50I'll be back before we start serving.
00:01:59Where is he?
00:02:00He's at lunch with an investor.
00:02:02Come on, Samantha. This is serious. Get him on the phone.
00:02:05I won't, but he disconnected his cell phone.
00:02:09If you find him, can you tell him that that whoop is here again this morning?
00:02:15And coming in the second, Gypsy Girl.
00:02:17Proud Delight and Donna Dog.
00:02:19Here comes Gypsy Dog, hoping God's giving her the win.
00:02:22And they're coming around the last turn.
00:02:24Come on, Gypsy Girl. Come on, Gypsy Girl.
00:02:27There you go. Come on. Come on.
00:02:29Come on, baby. That's me. That's my girl.
00:02:32Come on, baby.
00:02:34Oh, that's me. I told you, 20 to 1, ready to run.
00:02:38Honey!
00:02:39This time you've gone too far. Don't you ever, ever do that again.
00:02:42Oh, hey, help me here. What exactly did I do?
00:02:45It's not bad enough to embarrass me at work. Now you've got people threatening us.
00:02:49They're coming to the house, Eric.
00:02:51No, they're not. That was a big misunderstanding. It's all been cleared up.
00:02:54Look, I'll send Viv a dozen roses.
00:02:56Emily, it was a lousy thing to do to you, too. I'm sorry.
00:02:59You're always sorry.
00:03:01How much do you owe this time?
00:03:03Not a dime.
00:03:05Lisa, I said I was sorry.
00:03:08Wives get angry at husbands. Husbands get angry at wives.
00:03:11It's the yin and yang of a married life, right, Jay?
00:03:14This is for you. Come have a quick drink with me. Come on.
00:03:17I'm working a party, Eric. I'll meet you at the gallery at 4.
00:03:20Lisa.
00:03:23I like you like this.
00:03:25Cheeks flushed.
00:03:27Those wild and tameable strands of hair.
00:03:30I can always make you smile.
00:03:41Let's get the gallery.
00:03:43You're crazy.
00:03:45I'm one lucky guy.
00:03:48I wouldn't do a documentary. I mean, I see something more like the Civil War.
00:03:54What's the difference?
00:03:56Well, I see a...
00:03:59a latitudinal history of racing in America.
00:04:04I would intercut profiles of the owner of a stud farm,
00:04:09a trainer, a jockey, a female jockey,
00:04:12a stable boy, the racing fan,
00:04:14and then build up to the climax the derby.
00:04:17Have you seen any of Eric's films?
00:04:20They're thoughtful without being solemn.
00:04:23She is my biggest fan.
00:04:25And, of course, my toughest critic.
00:04:27How about if I send you some cassettes?
00:04:29How much would a project like that cost?
00:04:32Well, you know, we're talking about a labor of love here.
00:04:36So what do you think, dear?
00:04:39Eric's had three wonderful documentaries on PBS,
00:04:42and some of his industrials are little gems.
00:04:47But I think this might be the film that wins him his Emmy.
00:04:50Major Backer would meet some very interesting show business people.
00:04:53We'd go to premieres. You might even have to come out to L.A.
00:04:57And this would be tax-deductible.
00:05:01Well, we'd work something out.
00:05:04We'd have a lot of laughs.
00:05:06Hey, hey, do you know why cannibals don't eat clowns?
00:05:10No. Why?
00:05:11Because they taste funny.
00:05:16You want to hear a great title?
00:05:18For a Horse with Wings.
00:05:20Oh, thank you, sir.
00:05:23Exactly.
00:05:35Thanks for helping me with Mrs. Feld tonight.
00:05:38You don't have to thank me for telling the truth.
00:05:40I could have mentioned that I haven't had a film in seven years.
00:05:43I wanted to believe every one of those years you could do it again.
00:05:46I could have told her that, too.
00:05:48Hey, there's no one like you, honey.
00:05:57Here you go. Try that.
00:06:03Don't be mad at me, okay?
00:06:05Hmm?
00:06:06I'm going into business for myself. I just signed the incorporation papers.
00:06:11Why?
00:06:13We're in way over our heads financially.
00:06:18We just drove Sarah off to college last week.
00:06:22We've barely been making Bruce's tuition payments the last two years.
00:06:27With the two of them away...
00:06:29Look, it takes capital to start a catering business.
00:06:33Dad left me a savings bond.
00:06:35I've got a little over 9,000 saved up. That's enough, isn't it?
00:06:38Oh, wow. Is this moving fast?
00:06:44You think maybe you're a little spooked by the empty nest?
00:06:48There's another reason I need my own business.
00:06:52Yeah?
00:06:56I'm...
00:06:58thinking of leaving Eric.
00:07:03Oh, my God.
00:07:05It's a lot worse than I've told you.
00:07:07Business is a disaster.
00:07:09His gambling is out of control.
00:07:11He takes every penny you pay me if I don't sneak it right into my personal account.
00:07:14It's...
00:07:18I've just been waiting for Sarah.
00:07:21Oh, but he's such a great guy.
00:07:24You guys always seem to have such a good time together.
00:07:32Honey, I'm sorry.
00:07:34So it's okay?
00:07:36We'll still be friends?
00:07:39We'll still be friends?
00:07:41Of course we will.
00:07:43We'll work something out.
00:07:45I'll talk to Gary, see if he can't throw something Eric's way.
00:07:49He won't take it. I know him.
00:07:51He must see how desperate things are.
00:07:54He has no idea.
00:07:56He's living in a dream world.
00:08:00All right, here we are. Six stores.
00:08:03Specialty clothing along here.
00:08:05Can I have a charge account?
00:08:08Espresso bar over there.
00:08:10And my video store.
00:08:12I'm keeping the franchise.
00:08:14Well, no wonder. This is a great location.
00:08:16But I'm having a problem.
00:08:18I need someone to manage it for me.
00:08:20You know movies?
00:08:22I pay 40 grand the first year.
00:08:25Well, what you don't understand when you're a graduate of Betty Crocker U
00:08:28is that there are just some things you can't put in the alumni newsletter.
00:08:32You don't have to tell Princeton Magazine you're managing a video store.
00:08:38Yeah, sure. Just be a minute.
00:08:43Honey, that was very sweet what you tried to do over there.
00:08:46But what does a girl from Betty Crocker U know?
00:08:48It was a joke.
00:08:49I'm sorry I didn't go to college. I'm sorry I embarrass you.
00:08:52You don't embarrass me.
00:08:54I was teasing you. We kid around.
00:08:56That's what makes our marriage so great.
00:08:58Yeah, our marriage is paradise.
00:09:00The house is leased. The furniture is leased.
00:09:02We're in debt up to here.
00:09:04I hate living like this.
00:09:05If you wanted a regular paycheck, you should have married a janitor.
00:09:08You think we're talking about money here?
00:09:10I'm a filmmaker.
00:09:11You're a fabulous filmmaker. You just don't make any films.
00:09:14You love to put me down for having a dream, don't you?
00:09:16I married you because you had a dream.
00:09:19I didn't marry a guy who plays the horses or who plays around.
00:09:24Gary, thanks for the offer, but I don't think I was cut out for retail.
00:09:29What did you say?
00:09:30But I will take some of your money in my brokerage.
00:09:32Oh, dear.
00:09:39Excuse me.
00:09:41You let somebody raid my account.
00:09:43Your teller says I've got only $42.
00:09:45I know I've got more than $9,000.
00:09:48Please, sit.
00:09:49Let's see what's going on here.
00:09:54You had that much, but you've been making ATM withdrawals.
00:09:57Those aren't mine.
00:09:59Who withdraws $300 a day for a month?
00:10:10Do you have some ID?
00:10:13This is a personal account.
00:10:16This is a personal account.
00:10:19You let somebody steal from me.
00:10:30The system says there are two cards.
00:10:32What about your husband? Doesn't he have one?
00:10:35No, I told you, it's not a joint account.
00:10:40Tell her.
00:10:41Tell her.
00:10:43About a month ago, a couple came in.
00:10:45He had a statement for the account, and she had some ID.
00:10:48I think a credit card in your name, only she wasn't you.
00:10:53They said that they had lost the ATM card for the account.
00:10:56Well, we issued a new card.
00:11:02Was it him?
00:11:06Uh-huh.
00:11:12This woman, what did she look like?
00:11:19She had beautiful hair. Beautiful red hair.
00:11:41Thank you.
00:12:12Do you want to watch TV?
00:12:15I heard that...
00:12:19What is this?
00:12:23I went to the bank today.
00:12:26They were surprised my hair wasn't red.
00:12:29Samantha and me? That's nothing.
00:12:32Nothing new, I think you mean.
00:12:34Honey, look, we've had some rocky moments lately.
00:12:37Forging my signature and stealing my savings is a rocky moment?
00:12:41The kids come first. They needed money in their checking accounts.
00:12:45It's funny, I had to give them each a hundred the day they left.
00:12:47Oh, get around to opening the accounts.
00:12:49Hey, I had a call today.
00:12:51HBO is this close to picking up the racing documentary.
00:12:55That money was mine.
00:12:57My name was on the account.
00:12:59It was from my dad.
00:13:01My work.
00:13:03I want it back now.
00:13:04I'll pay you back when I have it.
00:13:10You used it to pay your bookie, didn't you?
00:13:14They were coming after us.
00:13:17You've got money. Give it to me.
00:13:19The poker game is rigged. Give me what you've got.
00:13:21Hey, hey, hey, hey!
00:13:22Hey, would you please calm down?
00:13:25Mrs. Feld is going to come through and HBO.
00:13:28I can feel it.
00:13:29Mrs. Feld is going to come through and HBO.
00:13:32I can feel it.
00:13:33Come on, we're on a roll here.
00:13:36Let go of me.
00:13:44That woman is not going to give you a dime.
00:13:46HBO doesn't know you exist.
00:13:49Don't you understand the power of a dream?
00:13:52I have to make this film.
00:13:56Get your stories straight, Eric.
00:13:59Put a couple of grand on the pony so the kids could have book money,
00:14:01or so you could win the jury prize at Cannes.
00:14:03Which was it?
00:14:04Well, it was a spur-of-the-moment thing.
00:14:07It just seemed like a good idea at the time.
00:14:12We were going to borrow it,
00:14:13hit the double, put it back.
00:14:15You were never going to know.
00:14:18Would you take this?
00:14:19It was a lousy game.
00:14:20I want you to have it as a down payment.
00:14:24Give me another shot.
00:14:25Samantha's history.
00:14:27I'm going to quit gambling.
00:14:28And I'm going to take Mrs. Feld's money
00:14:30and give you $10,000 right off the top.
00:14:34Lisa, listen, we have been in some tight spots before.
00:14:37You know that.
00:14:38I don't even understand what's...
00:14:40$300?
00:14:43You do something like this
00:14:44and you think you can buy me off with $300?
00:14:47Hey, can we sleep on this tonight, please?
00:14:49Things are going to look a lot different in the morning.
00:14:52That used to work, Eric.
00:14:54And then for years I faked it and I felt guilty and trapped.
00:14:57And all the time you had this other life,
00:14:59and I felt trapped.
00:15:02Hey, Samantha, give me one more chance.
00:15:04For the kids.
00:15:06I'm leaving you, Eric.
00:15:07You've said that before.
00:15:09This time, I mean it.
00:15:26♪♪
00:15:56Hi, this is Sarah.
00:15:57Guess what?
00:15:58I'm out.
00:15:59Leave me a message.
00:16:00Thanks.
00:16:01Bye.
00:16:02It's Mom.
00:16:03It's after 2.
00:16:04Where are you?
00:16:06I'm on the road on the way to Canada
00:16:09and I just realized that I don't have the new number.
00:16:11It was a storm.
00:16:14I...
00:16:15I have something to tell you guys.
00:16:19So, could you call me at...
00:16:22315-555-0125
00:16:26before your first class is in the morning?
00:16:29I'll wait for your call.
00:16:31I love you.
00:16:34Bye.
00:16:35♪♪
00:16:39♪♪
00:16:42♪♪
00:16:44♪♪
00:16:54♪♪
00:17:04♪♪
00:17:14♪♪
00:17:20Hello.
00:17:21Mom, thank God.
00:17:23Bruce and I are going to the hospital.
00:17:25It's Dad.
00:17:26What?
00:17:27He collapsed in the driveway.
00:17:28Oh, my God.
00:17:29Bruce said the doctor told him it's some kind of stroke.
00:17:31We'll meet you there.
00:17:39The Kingsleys were coming home from a party.
00:17:41They think it was about 12.30.
00:17:43Thanks.
00:17:44The car door was open and he was just lying there.
00:17:48The dome light hadn't been on.
00:17:49They wouldn't have seen him.
00:17:51What I don't get is, where were you?
00:17:54What were you doing in Canada?
00:17:58Mom, you must have needed cigarettes.
00:18:02There were all these quarters on the ground.
00:18:03They figured he'd been robbed.
00:18:07Mrs. McKeever.
00:18:11I just showed the CAT scan to the chief of neurology,
00:18:14and there's no doubt.
00:18:16It was a stroke, and it involves the brain stem.
00:18:19Oh, my God.
00:18:21Now, he could live a few weeks,
00:18:23or he could go on for a lot longer.
00:18:26Now, given the type of stroke he's had,
00:18:28he's probably going to have some trouble swallowing.
00:18:30But there's no other paralysis.
00:18:32And fortunately, his speech hasn't been impaired.
00:18:35Is he awake?
00:18:37Can we see him?
00:18:38Yeah.
00:18:40But he's still groggy.
00:18:42Doctor?
00:18:47Really, how bad is it?
00:18:50It's hard to predict.
00:18:54But we'll know more in the next 48 hours.
00:18:56All right.
00:18:59Mom.
00:19:02You had to see us in person for some big announcement?
00:19:07Could we do this some other time?
00:19:11You were finally leaving him, weren't you?
00:19:20He's got me at left wing right now,
00:19:21but I think he's moving me into sweeper for the Colgate game.
00:19:25I was counting on you coming.
00:19:28I'll be there, honey.
00:19:30I have never missed one of your games.
00:19:32I'm not going to start now.
00:19:36Dad.
00:19:38Dad, we love you, okay?
00:19:41We're going to stay right here beside you
00:19:42until you're out of the woods.
00:19:44Never in the woods.
00:19:46I never liked them.
00:19:48How can you bet with a tree?
00:19:53Like this whole thing was just a way of getting us
00:19:55all together for a few hours.
00:19:58Monday morning, I want the two of you back in class.
00:20:02Okay, but only if you promise to be well enough
00:20:04to go home by then.
00:20:06So Mom can take care of you.
00:20:22He's come a long way in one week.
00:20:24We're going to have to discharge him soon.
00:20:27When will he get off the feeding tube?
00:20:29Probably never.
00:20:31But we can put a shunt in his side
00:20:32so we can feed him directly into his stomach.
00:20:35He can move around, maybe sip a little liquid,
00:20:38nibble on something soft.
00:20:40Basically, he's going to need help for the rest of his life.
00:20:44Oh, boy.
00:20:46Yeah.
00:20:48So we're talking permanent, round-the-clock nursing care?
00:20:52Yes.
00:20:54I think you'd be better off taking care of him at home.
00:20:58As long as he's got you,
00:21:00I think it's a perfectly good way to go.
00:21:10Easy. I got you.
00:21:18I'm going to sleep better tonight,
00:21:22having you next to me.
00:21:25I moved into Sarah's room.
00:21:29Boy, you really miss her, huh?
00:21:33Yeah, that's it.
00:21:36No reason to start confronting reality at this late date.
00:21:40I can still make you smile.
00:21:43Liking you was never the problem.
00:21:46God, Lisa.
00:21:49Did you add some steps before I came back?
00:22:00Oh.
00:22:02Don't misjudge the way things are, Eric.
00:22:08You're Bruce and Sarah's father.
00:22:12They'd be here if they could.
00:22:15Since they can't, I'm not going to walk out on you.
00:22:20Well, what happens when I get better?
00:22:25I'm here now. I think that's what matters.
00:22:33I'll make you love me again.
00:22:37Could we take this one day at a time?
00:22:41The reality is, you're never going to see me
00:22:45because I'm going to be out all the time.
00:22:48Doing what?
00:22:51Trying to pay for nurses, food, rent, textbooks.
00:22:57I'm not going to let you do it alone.
00:23:00I'll figure out something.
00:23:04Okay.
00:23:17Just try not to talk.
00:23:21If that's possible.
00:23:27Just one thing.
00:23:31When the kids ask, tell them this is the way you want it to be.
00:23:53Needs a valve job.
00:23:56What kind of money are we talking about?
00:23:58Well, the dealer will charge you $800.
00:24:00I'll do it for $600. I'll have it for you tomorrow night.
00:24:04$600 is a problem for me right now.
00:24:08Put it on a cart.
00:24:10The carts got taken away.
00:24:12My husband's had a stroke.
00:24:15Wow.
00:24:18Gee, I'm sorry. He comes in here all the time.
00:24:21Give him my best, will you?
00:24:23I will.
00:24:25Listen, since you know us, I...
00:24:29I mean...
00:24:32This is hard.
00:24:34I don't have a job right now,
00:24:36but I've never not paid a bill in my life.
00:24:39I need a car to look for work.
00:24:41Can you fix it and let me pay you,
00:24:44I don't know, $100 a month?
00:24:48No, I couldn't live with that.
00:24:53Can I use your phone to call another tow truck?
00:24:57You know, I got this sales rep who has this gimmick.
00:25:01Every time he comes in, he gives you something, you know?
00:25:03Makes it impossible for him to leave without an order.
00:25:05Sometimes it's wine, hockey tickets.
00:25:08This week, he left me these.
00:25:11Looks like they'll fit perfectly.
00:25:13You said I had to pay up front.
00:25:16I said I wasn't willing to take money
00:25:18from somebody who didn't have any.
00:25:20So you're saying...
00:25:21If you use that old car out there,
00:25:23pick this one up tomorrow night.
00:25:25I close at six.
00:25:28I will pay you back.
00:25:31Sure.
00:25:33As soon as your husband gets back on his feet.
00:25:35I can't depend on that happening.
00:25:38Keys are under the visor.
00:25:41Thank you.
00:25:45I meant what I said.
00:25:47I will pay you back.
00:25:50Eventually.
00:25:52I can tell.
00:26:10Is it bad tonight?
00:26:15You been asleep at all?
00:26:18No.
00:26:20I'm sorry I get up every night and do this.
00:26:27You want codeine?
00:26:29God, yes.
00:26:31Could you...
00:26:33Could you just...
00:26:48I'm sorry.
00:27:18Maskin and Son.
00:27:20Mr. Maskin, it's Lisa McKeever.
00:27:22I'm running late.
00:27:24And I want to hold you up.
00:27:25So can I pick up my car tomorrow?
00:27:27Yeah, yeah.
00:27:28Yeah, it's done.
00:27:29Tomorrow will be fine.
00:27:31Great.
00:27:32I've been handing out
00:27:33samples of my brownies all day.
00:27:34Your idea is working.
00:27:35That's why I'm late.
00:27:36My idea?
00:27:38About not going anywhere
00:27:39without a free sample.
00:27:40Since nine this morning,
00:27:41I booked a luncheon,
00:27:42a baby shower,
00:27:43and in another half hour,
00:27:44I may even have a whole bar mitzvah.
00:27:46You rent rooms or what?
00:27:49I'm a caterer.
00:27:51If I'm lucky and get a deposit,
00:27:52I may even be able to pay you.
00:27:54You sure my keeping the loaner
00:27:55another day's okay?
00:27:56Oh, no.
00:27:57That's okay.
00:27:58I'll switch him on my way
00:27:59to work in the morning.
00:28:01Okay.
00:28:03I gotta go.
00:28:05Hey.
00:28:07Hang in there.
00:28:08Okay.
00:28:17Hey!
00:28:19Hey, hey!
00:28:29Hey!
00:28:30Hey, hey!
00:28:31You're...
00:28:43Hello?
00:28:46Hello?
00:29:17Hello?
00:29:30She's not smoking again.
00:29:32I'm sorry.
00:29:34No.
00:29:35No.
00:29:36These are for you.
00:29:38I didn't get the bar mitzvah.
00:29:39I won't be paying you for a while.
00:29:46You should see the garbage people
00:29:47buy out of this machine.
00:29:51They'll be gone by two.
00:29:53I didn't make these for sale.
00:29:55I know, but I can't eat all of those.
00:29:57I'll have some after lunch.
00:29:59Why shouldn't you make some money?
00:30:02Actually, that's a good idea.
00:30:05Caterers spend most of their time
00:30:06waiting around for jobs.
00:30:08If I lined up a bunch of places
00:30:09that could sell fresh baked goods...
00:30:17You know,
00:30:19I usually eat at a diner
00:30:20across the street there.
00:30:21Would you like to get a sandwich or something?
00:30:24I would, but I have a 12.30 meeting.
00:30:28Right.
00:30:29Thanks for the cookies.
00:30:40Ow!
00:30:41Sorry.
00:30:43You know, I've taken care of some
00:30:45very big people in my time.
00:30:48Like basketball players?
00:30:50I mean, well-known people.
00:30:55What the hell is that?
00:30:58Just a gardener.
00:31:00We don't have a gardener.
00:31:02Maybe the missus hired one.
00:31:04Somebody's got to clean up the yard.
00:31:15All right.
00:31:30I need commercial ovens.
00:31:33What if I opened your kitchens
00:31:35every night you're not using them,
00:31:36say from 6 to 2 a.m.?
00:31:38You have that much baking?
00:31:4018 outlets, 72 dozen a day.
00:31:42Wow.
00:31:43I could do more,
00:31:44but I've got to get home by 2
00:31:46to change Eric's nutrient bag.
00:31:47How's he doing?
00:31:49Well.
00:31:50You know, you and Gary could stop by
00:31:52any time you have a few...
00:31:54What the hell is that?
00:32:08You know, I just have to figure a way
00:32:10to dampen the noise a little bit.
00:32:13Why are you doing all this for me?
00:32:16Figured you could use a little help around here
00:32:18with the trees and the raccoons.
00:32:21I would have got to the trees.
00:32:23I think taking care of a sick husband
00:32:25and working at night to start your own business,
00:32:27that's a lot of work for one person.
00:32:29I know, but there's no...
00:32:33You just can't keep doing things for me.
00:32:36I like working with my hands.
00:32:38Kind of relaxes me.
00:32:42Thanks.
00:32:55Who's that?
00:32:57The new handyman.
00:33:08He's away. He's away. Is that the 40?
00:33:10It's 35.
00:33:11I see you've got that filling station guy
00:33:13trimming the trees.
00:33:16It was his idea.
00:33:18We got to talking when he fixed the Explorer.
00:33:21We paying him or what? What's the deal?
00:33:24No, he's one of my brownie customers.
00:33:26Damn!
00:33:29Hey!
00:33:32I dropped the remote.
00:33:35You drown in there or what?
00:33:40Lisa, you know how hard it is for me to get out of bed.
00:33:47Thanks, honey.
00:33:49I am so bored.
00:33:51Why don't you call some of those poker buddies?
00:33:53Those guys from the track who've forgotten you exist.
00:33:56I never knew his name, that mechanic.
00:33:59Art Maskin.
00:34:05It's third and...
00:34:17Hi.
00:34:18Hi.
00:34:19I brought you three dozen brownies.
00:34:21Oh.
00:34:23Half walnut, half pecan.
00:34:25Good.
00:34:28You know, you know,
00:34:30the other day when I asked you out to lunch,
00:34:32was it just that meeting that day
00:34:34or are you always kind of busy for lunch?
00:34:38One of the things about caterers,
00:34:40it's hard work and you need lunch to keep going.
00:34:43Oh, well, you know, I'm going to be finished here around 1.30 too.
00:34:47How about we grab a sandwich then?
00:34:50Earlier would be better.
00:34:52I should be home to relieve the nurse.
00:34:54Fine, we'll make it a quick sandwich.
00:34:55Won't even spoil your dinner.
00:34:57I'd like that.
00:34:58As long as...
00:35:00Yeah?
00:35:01It's just lunch with one of my customers.
00:35:04Lunch means lunch.
00:35:06See you then.
00:35:12That new warehouse club's incredible.
00:35:15I got a pallet of flour
00:35:18and 200 pounds of baking chocolate.
00:35:2120% below wholesale.
00:35:27That woman missed her calling.
00:35:28She was born for vaudeville.
00:35:30I've got to go out again.
00:35:32Viv calls about the flour.
00:35:34Tell her I'll get it out of her garage tomorrow.
00:35:36I thought you were off the rest of the day.
00:35:38No, I'm having a sandwich with a client.
00:35:40Well, push it to tomorrow.
00:35:42We'll send the clumsiest woman in the world home
00:35:44and go see a movie.
00:35:45Sounds like fun.
00:35:46Wish we'd talked about it earlier.
00:35:48Paper or plastic?
00:35:50Mark my words, plastic.
00:35:53Paper doesn't do you every time.
00:35:55Must be a big client.
00:35:57Can you find the market for a couple of tons of brownies?
00:36:00We could do a movie on Saturday.
00:36:02What should we have for dinner?
00:36:04Oh, you know,
00:36:06New York strip, medium rare,
00:36:08cottage fries and a Caesar with anchovies.
00:36:11Right.
00:36:12What are you thinking of?
00:36:14He's got his drip.
00:36:20Old habits are tough to break.
00:36:23Nice to see you so happy.
00:36:25I'm late.
00:36:26Please need some more work, will you?
00:36:35I hope you like chocolate.
00:36:40Okay, admit it.
00:36:42You were giving a formal luncheon
00:36:44and your original 12 guests came down with pneumonia.
00:36:47I finished up the ambulance sooner than I thought,
00:36:49so I closed up early.
00:36:52Some sandwich.
00:36:54Did you get all this yourself?
00:36:56I told you, I'm good with my hands.
00:36:59Um, you sure you don't want another lobster?
00:37:02No, thanks. I'm stuffed.
00:37:06Couldn't your dad have spelled you at the station?
00:37:09Well, I, uh, never knew my dad.
00:37:12I'm sorry. I assumed from the way you answered the phone.
00:37:16No, um, when I bought the station,
00:37:18I had to come up with a name,
00:37:20so I'm asking in sun.
00:37:23Sounds stable, like you've been around forever.
00:37:26Or maybe I was just wishing out loud.
00:37:33How'd you learn to cook like this?
00:37:35I like to eat.
00:37:37When you live alone, there's TV and cooking.
00:37:42Oh, thanks.
00:37:53Here.
00:38:18I thought you were taking me home.
00:38:20In kind of a roundabout way.
00:38:30Is it legal?
00:38:32Well, as long as we stay under the commercial lanes,
00:38:34FAA's happy.
00:38:36Can you just do this?
00:38:40Look.
00:38:43Horseshoe Falls.
00:38:45As a kid, I used to sit in a fence
00:38:47next to this old country airfield
00:38:49and watch a pilot fuel up his crop duster.
00:38:52Kept asking him questions about how planes flew,
00:38:55and I never figured he'd take me up for a ride.
00:38:58And when you grew up?
00:39:00I knew it was the one thing I had to do.
00:39:06Look, look. Look down there.
00:39:10Look.
00:39:17It's so great up here.
00:39:21You forget.
00:39:24You forget everything.
00:39:26That was the idea.
00:39:40Hi. How are you?
00:39:43Need anything?
00:39:45I'm fine.
00:39:56Nice lunch.
00:39:59I'm glad you're here.
00:40:01I'm glad you're here.
00:40:03I'm glad you're here.
00:40:05I'm glad you're here.
00:40:07Nice lunch.
00:40:09It was okay.
00:40:24Business is picking up.
00:40:26I'm putting on five-party chef's Thanksgiving evening.
00:40:31Not quite sure what we're going to do.
00:40:34We're having dinner with the kids.
00:40:36I meant about having time to cook.
00:40:42You know what drives me crazy about you?
00:40:45The way you think you keep pulling the wool over my eyes.
00:40:49I have no secrets from you, Eric.
00:40:51Oh, no?
00:40:53You just come in whistling after a five-hour lunch with the tree trimmer
00:40:56because there's a bright golden haze on the meadow?
00:41:01Art and I have an occasional lunch.
00:41:03We're friends.
00:41:05You're not allowed to have friends.
00:41:09I've got two more Thanksgiving dinners.
00:41:11Oh, big?
00:41:12One's 40 people.
00:41:14Wow.
00:41:15I'm interviewing party chefs this afternoon.
00:41:18But I've still got to find some place to do the pre-cooking.
00:41:21Do it at my house.
00:41:23Really?
00:41:24Sure.
00:41:25That would be great.
00:41:29Can't get anything done at home.
00:41:31How's he doing?
00:41:33Better?
00:41:35Better, but not great.
00:41:43You have to understand the way Eric and I have been living.
00:41:47He's a man who never, not once since we've been married,
00:41:49ever cleared the table after a meal.
00:41:54When Sarah was born,
00:41:56we decided we should both have life insurance policies
00:41:59in case we were run over by a truck or something.
00:42:02I barred on the equity until the company finally canceled the policies.
00:42:06Naturally, he didn't tell me when I found out.
00:42:08I asked him why.
00:42:10He looked at me like I was crazy.
00:42:13Native dancer was even money, he said.
00:42:19He also loves his kids more than any man alive.
00:42:26You never thought of leaving?
00:42:29I thought about it.
00:42:31Just never did.
00:42:35There are all kinds of good excuses.
00:42:37I'll never be able to support myself.
00:42:39At least we're past that.
00:42:41You already make more money than me.
00:42:45It wasn't really money.
00:42:48He was Bruce and Sarah's daddy.
00:42:51They were crazy about him.
00:42:53I was crazy about them.
00:42:55You just don't seem like the kind of person to put up with all that stuff.
00:42:58Thefts, gambling debts, stolen money.
00:43:02People change.
00:43:04I'm not the same woman I was when I married him.
00:43:09When my wife left, I realized what total strangers we'd become.
00:43:14The people we'd met and fallen in love,
00:43:16the ones with the private nicknames,
00:43:18the ones that stopped at Pet Stray Cats,
00:43:20those people had just vanished.
00:43:24Why did she leave?
00:43:26She never really said.
00:43:29And nobody else ever came along?
00:43:35Not till now.
00:43:49I thought I was able to leave him.
00:43:52I can't now.
00:43:55I don't want you to.
00:43:56I just want you to know how things are.
00:44:04It would be really nice right now if you would go wash your hands or something.
00:44:24Viv, pick her up. I don't know where they were going.
00:44:28Viv?
00:44:36Can I do something for you?
00:44:39Yeah, save my ears.
00:44:42I'm sorry.
00:44:44I'm sorry.
00:44:46I'm sorry.
00:44:48I'm sorry.
00:44:50I'm sorry.
00:44:52I'm sorry.
00:44:54You know, we really don't know each other.
00:44:57I'm Art Maskett from the garage.
00:45:05Would you like me to drive you somewhere?
00:45:24No.
00:45:44Hey!
00:45:47I thought I told you!
00:45:55Hey!
00:45:59Hey!
00:46:04Oh, did you know that Eric can drive?
00:46:07He can barely get in and out of his wheelchair.
00:46:09Yesterday, while you and Viv were at Pittsburgh Plaza,
00:46:11he drove himself out to the mailbox and back.
00:46:14He's always done that.
00:46:16Oh, he's milking his invalid routine.
00:46:18He's not nearly as helpless as he pretends to be.
00:46:20He admits he's lazy.
00:46:22Does he admit how angry he is?
00:46:23That is the question.
00:46:24Nobody likes what a stroke does to them.
00:46:26Angry about us.
00:46:29About us?
00:46:30There's nothing to be angry about.
00:46:32We're friends.
00:46:34We are.
00:46:35That's all we are.
00:46:38You have to grant the fact that it's after midnight
00:46:40and you're here to possibly suggest something else to him.
00:46:43I've been totally upfront with him about it being over.
00:46:46Where's the pineapple?
00:46:47Pineapple?
00:46:48I'm just taking care of him.
00:46:49He knows that.
00:46:50Maybe he does, but he doesn't like seeing me around him.
00:46:52He's jealous.
00:46:54Yeah.
00:46:55He lost the right to be jealous after about the first three women
00:46:58after he lost all my money at the track.
00:47:00It's not about money for him.
00:47:02What side are you on?
00:47:04I think that would be obvious by now.
00:47:14I can't.
00:47:15Yet.
00:47:20Jesus.
00:47:51WEDNESDAY
00:48:04What time are the kids coming home on Wednesday?
00:48:07I don't know. They're getting rides.
00:48:10When they were little, remember we used to always
00:48:13go skating on Thanksgiving Eve?
00:48:16That was the best night of the year.
00:48:17We had that rink all to ourselves.
00:48:20Could you put that down for a minute?
00:48:30I have all these dinners I'm doing.
00:48:32I'm going to be cooking non-stop for the next three days.
00:48:35Well, I can peel potatoes or something.
00:48:38You never peeled a potato in your life.
00:48:40Yeah, well, I can learn.
00:48:43To help.
00:48:44I've invited Art to have dinner with us Thursday here.
00:48:48I'm making all the dishes at work.
00:48:50He'll just cook the turkey and warm everything else up.
00:49:02That grease monkey is not coming through this door
00:49:05into my house.
00:49:17I don't want to hurt you.
00:49:20I will say this only once.
00:49:23I feel like a robot.
00:49:27I cater.
00:49:29I change your bed.
00:49:32I shop.
00:49:34I get up in the night to change the drip.
00:49:38Every minute of every day
00:49:43I think about the fact that I'm the one who has to
00:49:45earn the money for tuition,
00:49:48medicine,
00:49:50doctor bills.
00:49:53And I pretend to the kids that everything's all right.
00:49:59I'm not a robot, Eric.
00:50:04I've said it's over between us.
00:50:11What you've done to me
00:50:16it's just over.
00:50:23What are you really saying, Lisa?
00:50:26I'm saying
00:50:28if you want Thanksgiving dinner served in this house,
00:50:32Art is going to do it.
00:50:34Forget Thanksgiving.
00:50:36You're telling me to my face
00:50:38that you're involved with the yard man.
00:50:42I'm saying I need help.
00:50:44The kids can help.
00:50:45The kids are great.
00:50:47Sarah can bake and Bruce and I can figure out the turkey.
00:50:53I want Art with me on Thanksgiving.
00:50:58What if that isn't possible?
00:51:03One way or another,
00:51:06it's possible.
00:51:14It's possible.
00:51:38Hello?
00:51:41Eric! Eric!
00:51:43The door's locked.
00:51:47Hello?
00:51:59You okay?
00:52:02Yeah, I'm okay.
00:52:03I just kind of had the wind knocked out of me.
00:52:05She's not home.
00:52:07I mean, I really can't do much to help you.
00:52:10Anything feel broken? Should I call 911?
00:52:12No, I'm okay. Just let me catch my breath.
00:52:16No, don't do it.
00:52:20I need you on top of me.
00:52:26Look, why don't you just load me up
00:52:28before one of us gets killed, okay?
00:52:30Okay.
00:52:31Ready for real Bavarian taste in light beer,
00:52:34our brewmasters travel the world
00:52:36to study the century-old techniques of master brewers
00:52:39who blend sun-ripened grain
00:52:41with the purest water to produce a beer
00:52:43that's aged to delicate perfection.
00:52:45Good God, look at that.
00:52:47I haven't had a beer in two months.
00:52:49Want a beer? Have one.
00:52:52Can't.
00:52:53Doc says it's one of the many ways I did this to myself.
00:53:11Ss, ss, ss.
00:53:30What do you think?
00:53:36One more's not going to hurt anything now.
00:53:38No, no, it's just for the taste.
00:53:40One more would just make you want to keep on going.
00:53:46So tell me, Art,
00:53:48what's in this for you
00:53:50besides a chance to torment a cripple?
00:53:54Nobody likes to be alone on a holiday.
00:53:57Well, to each his own.
00:53:59Being a fifth wheel doesn't sound too swift to me.
00:54:02I'll do whatever it takes.
00:54:04Whatever what takes, that's my question.
00:54:08To be a part of her life.
00:54:14You're unbelievable, you know that?
00:54:16You come into my house and you just say something like that.
00:54:21She needs help. She's about to snap.
00:54:23Don't tell me what my wife needs.
00:54:27Yeah, well, you just don't seem to get it.
00:54:31The most important thing to her
00:54:34is that you are taken care of.
00:54:37And you're going to do that?
00:54:39Well, don't waste your time, my friend.
00:54:42I'm a real pain in the ass.
00:54:45Yeah, well, you give it your best shot, but it's an act.
00:54:49And you know that after just an hour, huh?
00:54:52I know it because she's loved you for 23 years.
00:55:08I'm not going to be able to eat anything but yogurt till Easter.
00:55:13The turkey was delicious, Mom.
00:55:15Art cooked the turkey.
00:55:21Anybody want another cappuccino?
00:55:23No, thanks.
00:55:24Mom makes it too strong. Could I have some regular decaf?
00:55:27Sure, I'll put a pot on.
00:55:30Someone want to tell us what's going on here.
00:55:32Who exactly is Art?
00:55:35Come on, Mom. He's going to be back in a second.
00:55:37Who is this guy?
00:55:39A friend.
00:55:40Your mom's business is really taking off.
00:55:42She's going all the time now.
00:55:44But, I mean, is he...
00:55:48We're not here.
00:55:49I'll say it.
00:55:51I'm not here.
00:55:52I'm not here.
00:55:53I'm not here.
00:55:54I'm not here.
00:55:55I'm not here.
00:55:56I'm not here.
00:55:57I'm not here.
00:55:58I'll say it.
00:56:01We've been worried since the hospital about you two breaking up.
00:56:05We're not breaking up.
00:56:09There's no big mystery here. Art helps me.
00:56:12He helps you.
00:56:14She's looking for someone to help full time at work.
00:56:17It's a temporary problem. That's what your mother is saying.
00:56:22No.
00:56:23It's not temporary.
00:56:28I'm thinking of looking for a cheaper house.
00:56:31What is not temporary?
00:56:37Mom.
00:56:39Honey, this is our home.
00:56:42Our ranch would be better for you.
00:56:44You could get around easier, be simpler for you to eat with us.
00:56:48With us?
00:56:50With the family.
00:56:52When you guys come home.
00:56:58I'm sorry.
00:57:04I made you something.
00:57:05I had this windshield wiper hose in my truck.
00:57:07Great. Now you're going to feed him to something you found in the back of your truck.
00:57:11I sterilized it.
00:57:12Now we can hang two bags before you go to bed.
00:57:14No more waking up during the night.
00:57:15Lisa changes them. She doesn't mind.
00:57:18No, she loves getting up in the middle of her nightly five hours.
00:57:21A real chance to do some good husband-wife bonding.
00:57:23That was her on the phone?
00:57:24Yeah.
00:57:25Apple pie is a cooling.
00:57:27She'll be here when the mixed meat is done.
00:57:29When the phone rings in my house, Art, I'll take the calls. Got it?
00:57:33Whatever you say. It's your house.
00:57:48You know that ranch house you saw? The one with the separate apartment?
00:57:51I took it.
00:57:53Well, I was thinking, you know, I'm paying $1,100 a month here.
00:57:57How about I move into that apartment?
00:58:01You'd save $600 a month.
00:58:03Well, I think it's worth more.
00:58:04But besides, I could also chip in for my share of the food.
00:58:13Well, that's what you want, isn't it? It was your idea.
00:58:17My idea was a cheaper house. A ranch for the wheelchair.
00:58:23Well, we spend all our time together anyway.
00:58:26Plus, when Mrs. Skinner's out, there'll be somebody in the house.
00:58:30You think about him more than I do.
00:58:33I like him more than you do.
00:58:35He's in an impossible situation.
00:58:37And you think having you living with us is going to make things less impossible?
00:58:42Well, if I lived in the apartment, wouldn't it make things simpler?
00:58:50No.
00:58:52No?
00:59:00Don't you understand how hard it is for me having you near me and having to pretend?
00:59:07Pretend what?
00:59:16That we're just friends.
00:59:22Fine.
00:59:25We'll keep things just the way they are.
00:59:28That feels wrong, too.
00:59:30Like we've got some secret from him, as if we're waiting for him to die.
00:59:34Honey, I don't think he's going to die. Not anytime soon.
00:59:43The house is partially furnished.
00:59:46Look at that great tree.
00:59:48Look at that great tree.
00:59:50The apartment downstairs has its own bath.
00:59:53The kids' rooms are twice what they are now.
00:59:56I thought the apartment was for one of the kids.
00:59:59No, I rented out the apartment.
01:00:02For $1,100 a month.
01:00:03That means we're living here for $1,400 instead of $2,500.
01:00:08Who are the tenants? I hope they're not noisy.
01:00:12One tenant.
01:00:14Art.
01:00:16You're moving in the guy you're having an affair with?
01:00:19I'm not sleeping with Art.
01:00:21Oh, yeah, right.
01:00:22I never lied to you, Eric. I never will.
01:00:24I'm not sleeping with Art.
01:00:25The word I used was affair, Lisa. You care to comment on that?
01:00:29Eric, I promised to take care of you.
01:00:32That didn't mean I was giving up the right to take care of myself or be happy.
01:00:36And he makes you happy. You admit that.
01:00:41He's moving in.
01:01:07Eric?
01:01:11Honey, are you in here?
01:01:17He must be in his room. You wait here.
01:01:33Lisa!
01:01:41Lisa!
01:01:44Are you okay?
01:01:48Are you all right?
01:01:49Let go of my chair.
01:01:51I said let go of my chair!
01:01:53Didn't you hear what I said?
01:01:56You go back into the house. We'll turn your bed down or something.
01:01:59We will go inside and talk about this.
01:02:01We're not going to talk about anything. I'm out of here!
01:02:05I am going to Sarah's.
01:02:07She will stay in apartments.
01:02:09Why don't you come inside and talk about this like an adult?
01:02:11No! No, I want to talk about it out here!
01:02:14So that all of our new neighbors can see what my wife and her boyfriend are doing to me!
01:02:21Look at him!
01:02:22You're impossible and I'm freezing. Do whatever the hell you want.
01:02:25That's what I intend to do.
01:02:29Where are you taking me?
01:02:32Where are you taking me?
01:02:40The way I see it, you've got the advantage now.
01:02:44She thinks you tried to kill yourself over her, so she'll do anything you want.
01:02:49That was the idea.
01:02:53It will never occur to her that you couldn't stop because the wheels were wet.
01:03:02What do you want?
01:03:05How can you let me do this?
01:03:08How can you let her move you into my house while I'm still alive?
01:03:16I want her to be happy.
01:03:20And you're willing to share her?
01:03:30Yeah.
01:03:32What is this? The popular mechanics version of Jules and Jim?
01:03:39You're one weird guy, you know that?
01:03:41Well, this is one weird situation.
01:04:02Okay.
01:04:04Here's the deal.
01:04:06There are some obvious financial advantages to having a tenant.
01:04:11As long as he sleeps in his own room.
01:04:14And some major drawbacks.
01:04:16Like what are the kids going to think, for example.
01:04:21Bottom line, he's willing to do stuff for me and I'm willing to let him stay.
01:04:32Okay.
01:04:39Why are you suddenly willing to look the other way?
01:04:45I guess I realized out there today that you were right.
01:04:53I don't have any other choice.
01:05:02I can't help myself.
01:05:05I have to be near you.
01:05:20Lisa and I are flying up to Toronto for lunch.
01:05:23Here's the number, in case you need it.
01:05:25If you can't walk, you can't talk.
01:05:28Here's the number, in case you need it.
01:05:30Here's your catalogs.
01:05:34Spending the night?
01:05:36No, no, we wouldn't do that.
01:05:40You're sure you got everything you need?
01:05:42Yeah.
01:05:48Fire a nice lunch.
01:05:50Alright, I'll see you.
01:05:59Thank you.
01:06:04You think it was okay we flew over here and left him?
01:06:07Oh, he's fine. He's got a stack of catalogs. He's doing his Christmas shopping.
01:06:12You've become the expert on my husband.
01:06:15Next he's going to have you walking in bets for him.
01:06:19He can talk to me. That's no reflection on you.
01:06:22I'm just saying he takes advantage of people.
01:06:25I'm not the one who misses him.
01:06:27Coming over here was my idea.
01:06:29He knows we're here. He said have a good time.
01:06:32You're the one who's talking about him.
01:06:37Lisa, Lisa, there's no reason if he builds up his strength he can't come over with us.
01:06:42I thought we came over here to be alone.
01:06:46You can't have it both ways.
01:06:49I mean, we can do what we can to make him part of our lives and then just try to live and enjoy ourselves,
01:06:54or we can work shifts nursing him and get off on what martyrs we are.
01:06:58But you and I cannot organize our lives exclusively around him.
01:07:02We have to have something else.
01:07:04Who told you you get to organize what I feel about my husband?
01:07:13Give a little bit of it. Let go of it.
01:07:16Stop giving me advice.
01:07:18I'm sorry. I did not mean to sound like I was giving you advice.
01:07:22You do it all the time.
01:07:24You love him. Admit you love him.
01:07:27I can wait as long as it takes.
01:07:29Honey, I can.
01:07:31I mean, I'll do whatever, whatever.
01:07:34Just love me. Don't try to understand me.
01:07:52...degree with nighttime reading back in the low teens.
01:07:55Expect these temperatures throughout the week...
01:07:57Oh, thanks.
01:07:58Oh, you look cold. Would you like a cup of coffee?
01:08:01Why are you being so nice to me?
01:08:04Love me. Don't try to understand me.
01:08:07I don't remember if I had an afternoon as bad as today. I was so awful to you.
01:08:12You're right. I can't have it both ways.
01:08:14I can't ask you to love me if I never let you see how I feel.
01:08:22I love you.
01:08:37What's going on?
01:08:39I love you.
01:08:47Mrs. Skinner.
01:08:49Is he asleep?
01:08:51I checked him about a half hour ago.
01:08:55He was reading that Tim Clancy.
01:08:58Tom Clancy.
01:09:00It must be exciting. He told me he wanted to be alone.
01:09:07Thank you for everything.
01:09:09Thank you.
01:09:10I'll see you tomorrow.
01:09:11Okay. Night-night.
01:09:13Do you need anything before I go to bed?
01:09:17Mrs. Skinner, call 9-1-1 and Mr. Maskett at the station.
01:09:30Watch your step, ma'am.
01:09:37Another stroke?
01:09:38Heart attack. Bad woman.
01:09:41It could happen at any time. There's nothing you could have done if you'd been there.
01:09:51Hi.
01:09:52Where is he?
01:09:53He's having angioplasty.
01:09:55Where's mom?
01:09:57She's on the phone with the insurance company. They want a second opinion.
01:10:01All right. I've got to find her. Where is she?
01:10:03Down by the cafeteria.
01:10:10What are you doing hanging around here? You have no right to be here.
01:10:14Right? I was here with your mom until you and Bruce could show up.
01:10:18Our father loves our mother. People see you hanging around, they think we're trash.
01:10:24Sarah, I know you're upset, but believe me, nobody thinks your mother is trash.
01:10:30Why can't you just leave her alone?
01:10:41I can't take this.
01:10:44I thought you said the insurance wasn't going to pay.
01:10:46They aren't. It doesn't matter. I'll borrow the money.
01:10:48Oh, no, you won't. You're starting to climb out of that hole you've been in all these years.
01:10:55Can we talk about money tomorrow?
01:10:57Sure.
01:10:59How's he doing?
01:11:00He's asleep.
01:11:02He's asleep?
01:11:03He's asleep.
01:11:04He's asleep.
01:11:05He's asleep.
01:11:06He's asleep.
01:11:07He's asleep.
01:11:09He's asleep.
01:11:11Carpenter thinks the procedure worked.
01:11:13Good. I'll go see him in the morning.
01:11:18What is Max Flight Enterprises and why are they willing to pay you all this money?
01:11:22We'll talk about money tomorrow.
01:11:24Art?
01:11:25It's, um, Ted. He's a friend.
01:11:28Come on. You hungry? Let's get something to eat.
01:11:30Oh, my God. You sold it.
01:11:33Hey, if I want to fly, I'll rent a plane. No big deal.
01:11:35You love that plane more than anything.
01:11:38No. Not more than anything.
01:11:52Boy, we're going to have to start fattening you up.
01:12:00Hi, Sarah. It's Mom. Sorry I missed you again.
01:12:05Please, one of these days, call me.
01:12:09Daddy's good. The doctor's amazed at the progress he's making.
01:12:15And I want to talk to you.
01:12:18The way we used to.
01:12:21I love you.
01:12:26Where's that salad bowl?
01:12:28It's up top, Dad.
01:12:35Thank you.
01:12:48Art and I are talking about sneaking off to the track on Saturday while you're doing that wedding.
01:12:52You're not strong enough.
01:12:53Oh, well, that doesn't matter. I'm his newest project now that the garbage cans have been secured.
01:13:00Why do you say things like that? Is that supposed to be a joke?
01:13:03You work. Art drives me around and looks after me. I might live forever.
01:13:09A lot of guys would be bothered having their wife's lover live under the same roof with them.
01:13:13Not me. I'm finding it very broadening.
01:13:17I never, ever knew what was on sale at Track Auto.
01:13:22How did I live?
01:13:25Why are you doing this?
01:13:27Wheel of Fortune. I never, ever knew when that was on.
01:13:31He doesn't make fun of you.
01:13:32I'm not making fun of him. We're the two amigos.
01:13:35I just don't want the kids to find out and start calling him Uncle Art.
01:13:38Stop it. I'm warning you.
01:13:47This is no way for two married people to live.
01:13:50This is a way for me to survive.
01:13:52What about me?
01:13:53You have a choice. Accept it or say no.
01:13:55Oh, there's a no-brainer.
01:13:56But if you say no, you're going to a home. I mean it, Eric.
01:13:59Will you skip the noble wifely crap?
01:14:02You would love to put me in a home.
01:14:04You just don't have the guts to do it.
01:14:07I don't have the guts.
01:14:09Art lives here. I live here.
01:14:12What you do is up to you.
01:14:15You're my wife. This is my house.
01:14:17This is my house. I sign the lease. I pay the rent.
01:14:20I want him out.
01:14:29I want him out.
01:14:55Honey.
01:14:59Honey.
01:15:20I'm putting myself in a home in the morning.
01:15:30Come over here.
01:15:43Nobody wants you to leave.
01:15:51How was it last night, Art?
01:15:53Nobody wants you to leave.
01:15:57How was it last night, Art?
01:15:59No performance anxiety, I hope.
01:16:01I think Lisa and I think that we need to talk.
01:16:04Fine. I'll start.
01:16:06I am not living in this house with you two anymore.
01:16:10That's not what we want.
01:16:12Last night was about you and me, about the argument we had.
01:16:16You said some things about Art that just sounded so vicious.
01:16:21After all he's done for you.
01:16:22Well, excuse me.
01:16:25I didn't mean to offend St. Arthur.
01:16:28Neither of us is proud of you.
01:16:29Do you mind?
01:16:31May my wife and I have a word without you sticking your oar in?
01:16:35He's just trying to help.
01:16:36Well, surprise, surprise, he's not.
01:16:39All right, then. I'll say it.
01:16:43We are sorry, Eric.
01:16:47I am sorry.
01:16:49It was my idea.
01:16:52It was a cruel, bad, unnecessary thing to do.
01:17:00I agree.
01:17:03But, Eric, no matter what happens,
01:17:07the three of us are in this together.
01:17:11So, you two just imagine that I'm going to let last night slide?
01:17:20I'd say that 90% of loving is forgiving the people you love.
01:17:27I like you, Art.
01:17:29But I will never, ever love you.
01:17:32Okay?
01:17:37Nobody knows the rules here. Don't you see that?
01:17:40We're all just making them up as we go.
01:17:42Yeah, I thought we were going to try and figure out something
01:17:45that had the remote chance of making us all happy.
01:17:48Well, then, we're all going to have to work at it.
01:17:51Yeah, what does that mean?
01:17:52That means you getting off your ass and showing her you're alive.
01:17:56You don't think she knows that after 23 years?
01:17:59I think for 23 years you've driven down to the mailbox when you could have walked.
01:18:03Now I think you better prove to her that you can walk.
01:18:07Yeah, well, if I really do get better, you may just lose her.
01:18:12Possible, yeah.
01:18:15You want to bet?
01:18:18You're on.
01:18:26What are you doing?
01:18:28Oh, trying to prove to somebody or other that I can walk to the mailbox.
01:18:33This is your idea?
01:18:35No, our roommate's.
01:18:38He said if I made it, he'd take me flying.
01:18:41He's got no plane.
01:18:43You told me he had a plane.
01:18:45He sold it to pay for your operation.
01:18:49You okay here?
01:19:03Put your coat on. I'm taking you out for an early lunch.
01:19:06I've been to the bank. They'll loan me the down payment.
01:19:10What do you think? Can you get it up in the air?
01:19:12Well, it'll take a little work.
01:19:14I've got to stick the wing back on and we'll pick up a new engine, but...
01:19:18Oh, hell yes, I can do it.
01:19:21Then we'll do it. As long as it takes.
01:19:24You promised.
01:19:26Promised what?
01:19:28You promised my husband a plane ride.
01:19:34Good.
01:19:37All right.
01:19:41Put it up. No more to your left.
01:19:43All right.
01:19:46Okay, good. Now, just hold it there, darling.
01:19:49How long do I have to hold this?
01:19:52Oh, an hour, two.
01:19:59Get down!
01:20:10I can do it.
01:20:24That's it, old boy.
01:20:41Eric!
01:20:44Have you seen my carving knife, the serrated one?
01:20:50Honey, are you in the bathroom?
01:20:56Eric! Honey, I...
01:21:01Lisa, she just dropped by. It was a surprise.
01:21:04I'm sorry.
01:21:07She just dropped by. It was a surprise.
01:21:10Did she lose her voice?
01:21:13My God, I thought you had another attack.
01:21:16I'm surprised you didn't call out with the good news.
01:21:20Sarah, you're being childish.
01:21:22Is everyone else in town being childish, too?
01:21:25Dad says not even Vivian talks to you anymore.
01:21:28All I care about is your father. He misses you and Bruce.
01:21:31I'm here, aren't I? So am I.
01:21:33Well, I don't insist on bringing my lover with me when I come.
01:21:39Someday you'll understand.
01:21:41Why my mother was attracted to greasy fingernails.
01:21:44Why every wife has to invent her own life.
01:21:47Even if it means torturing her own husband.
01:21:51I'm staying with your father because he asked me to.
01:21:55And because I love him.
01:21:58Art makes me able to do that.
01:22:00You admit that.
01:22:02That's what you don't understand.
01:22:05I love two men.
01:22:09There's a name for women who do that.
01:22:12Mom?
01:22:32Okay, today is the day.
01:22:34Outside, both of you.
01:23:02Fuck.
01:23:32Fuck.
01:23:52Damn it, we're going flying.
01:23:55There it is.
01:23:57That looks great.
01:24:00No wheelchair.
01:24:02You said I had to walk, and I'm going to walk.
01:24:05Here, take that.
01:24:07This thing doesn't even look used.
01:24:09Well, at least it's sanded every inch of it.
01:24:11I don't know, an airplane just doesn't seem like the ideal do-it-yourself project.
01:24:16Are we sure this thing's going to fly?
01:24:18No, not really. We'll find out.
01:24:21So where are you taking me tonight?
01:24:23Lisa and I want to show you something special.
01:24:25You're not going to throw me out or anything, are you?
01:24:28Not that it hasn't occurred to us.
01:24:30Okay.
01:24:31You ready?
01:24:32Yeah.
01:24:33Fingers and toes.
01:24:34Okay.
01:24:43Wow.
01:24:45Isn't this spectacular?
01:24:47This is damn special.
01:24:49Worth every one of those steps, I think.
01:24:53We thought of it on our first date.
01:24:55Oh, please, give me a break.
01:24:57Not really the first date, but later, when things changed, we knew we had to show it to you.
01:25:01Yeah, yeah.
01:25:03You just needed someone to hold a stick while you two neck.
01:25:06Not a bad idea.
01:25:07Come on, take over.
01:25:09Oh, wait, straighten it out.
01:25:11Art! Art!
01:25:13Come on, come on, come on.
01:25:15Okay, okay, I got it, I got it, I got it, I got it.
01:25:19Eric, it was never right without you.
01:25:27Eric.
01:25:46Hey, how about you and me go see if the mail's come in?
01:25:53You go.
01:25:55Want me to drive you to the mall?
01:25:57Get a raisin for him.
01:26:01Bring one back for me.
01:26:03Oh, come on, you're acting like an old geezer.
01:26:16Old geezers have a way of knowing when it's time.
01:26:19Yeah.
01:26:24You keep an eye on those falls for me, will you, buddy?
01:26:32We have to go to the hospital now.
01:26:42Thanks.
01:26:44I haven't finished yet.
01:26:47For giving me six months longer than I had any reason to expect.
01:26:56You know why cannibals don't eat clowns?
01:26:59No, why?
01:27:01They taste funny.
01:27:05I could always make you smile.
01:27:08Some day when you and Sarah are watching our grandchildren play,
01:27:14you tell her something.
01:27:18Tell her that she and Bruce and all the others that cut us off,
01:27:28they really missed something.
01:27:30They missed a chance at one percent of what we had.
01:27:42I'm glad you have somebody to love.
01:27:47And I'm so sorry I was such a lousy husband.
01:27:53You were the best husband for so many years.
01:27:59You were a great father.
01:28:02The kids, they're going to be just fine.
01:28:08Except for one thing.
01:28:12I'm going to miss you.
01:28:17I'm going to miss you.
01:28:2276.
01:28:24You made me laugh.
01:28:27Remember the one about the blonde in the donut holes?
01:28:37It took guts, all of it.
01:28:42A life in the movies.
01:28:45Living the way we have.
01:28:48Making it to the mailbox.
01:28:51The mailbox.
01:28:54Crazy.
01:28:55No, no, you're not crazy.
01:28:59I love you.
01:29:02I love you too.
01:29:05I love you.
01:29:16Tell the kids.
01:29:19More than anything on this earth,
01:29:23I...
01:29:34I love you.
01:30:05Let's go home and have some lunch together.
01:30:09Got any party food you need to move?
01:30:11I was thinking something simple.
01:30:13Pasta with one of your dad's favorite sauces.
01:30:18I can't eat in the house today, mom.
01:30:34I'm going to miss you.
01:30:36I love you.
01:31:03What you got there?
01:31:07I don't know.
01:31:17You always like looking at that apple tree.
01:31:36I love you.
01:32:06I love you.
01:32:36I love you.
