1. Somebody forgot
something in the bathroom.Copy !req
2. Lenny, you forgot to flush.Copy !req
3. I'm eating my cereal.
Don't you see?Copy !req
4. I need to use the restroom.Copy !req
5. - So flush it.
- I'm not a housekeeper, remember?Copy !req
6. I'm a home health-care professional.Copy !req
7. Not mine. You're hers.Copy !req
8. Go bother her. I'm eating.Copy !req
9. Go take care of your business
in the bathroom, Mr. Savage.Copy !req
10. You do it.Copy !req
11. As you already pointed out,
you are not under my jurisdiction.Copy !req
12. I am not paid to take care of your shit.Copy !req
13. What the hell are you doing?Copy !req
14. Take care of your business in the bathroom,
and I'll give you back your Wheat Chex.Copy !req
15. Son of a bitch.Copy !req
16. Are you cleaning up after yourself,
Mr. Savage?Copy !req
17. I don't hear a flush, Lenny.Copy !req
18. Leonard?Copy !req
19. - Fasten your seat belts.Copy !req
20. It's going to be a bumpy night.Copy !req
21. That was
Bette Davis as Margo Channing...Copy !req
22. and this is Wendy Savage as herself.Copy !req
23. - Leave me a message after the...Copy !req
24. Aloha, Wendy.Copy !req
25. This is Nancy Lachman, Doris Metzger's
daughter, calling from Honolulu.Copy !req
26. I'm calling because... Well, I just got
a very disturbing call from Arizona.Copy !req
27. There's been some trouble with your dad.Copy !req
28. Dear Selection Committee...Copy !req
29. If awarded your prestigious fellowship...Copy !req
30. for artistic creation...Copy !req
31. I would use the money...Copy !req
32. to complete the writing and research...Copy !req
33. of my new semi-autobiographical play...Copy !req
34. No, wait.Copy !req
35. My new...Copy !req
36. subversive,
semi-autobiographical play...Copy !req
37. about my childhood, entitled...Copy !req
38. Wake Me When It's Over.Copy !req
39. - Hey, Wen.
- Hi, Matt.Copy !req
40. - How's it going? Getting anywhere?
- Just trying to power through.Copy !req
41. Oh, yeah. Just do what you can.
Don't kill yourself.Copy !req
42. Inspired by the work ofJean Genet...Copy !req
43. the cartoons of Lynda Barry...Copy !req
44. and the family dramas
of Eugene O'Neill...Copy !req
45. Wake Me When It's Over
tells the story...Copy !req
46. of a brother and sister who...Copy !req
47. after being abandoned
by their abusive father...Copy !req
48. are forced to fend for themselves...Copy !req
49. when their depressive mother
goes out on a date...Copy !req
50. from which she never returns.Copy !req
51. Thank you for considering my proposal.Copy !req
52. Sincerely yours, Wendy Savage.Copy !req
53. Hello. Hello.Copy !req
54. You have two new messages.Copy !req
55. First message:Copy !req
56. Ms. Savage, this is Donna
from Dr. Reichman's office.Copy !req
57. I'm just calling to let you know...Copy !req
58. that your Pap smear results
came back today and it's normal.Copy !req
59. Everything's fine,
so there's nothing to worry about.Copy !req
60. - If you have any questions
regarding the test, give me...Copy !req
61. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
62. - Is this a bad time? I saw your lights come on.
- No. I'm just...Copy !req
63. - You know...
- Oh, okay, then.Copy !req
64. - No. I don't want to disturb you if you're...
- No, do, if you can.Copy !req
65. Can you?Copy !req
66. I got Marley.Copy !req
67. - Let's move to the bed.
- No, I like it here. Let's do it on the floor.Copy !req
68. - No, come on, Larry.
- I need you to feel how hard my cock is.Copy !req
69. I don't want to! The floor is gross.Copy !req
70. You used to like it on the floor.Copy !req
71. When you first moved in, remember?Copy !req
72. Yeah, well, not anymore.Copy !req
73. It's middle-aged and depressing.Copy !req
74. It makes me want to cry.Copy !req
75. - Come here, sweetie.
- What's the matter?Copy !req
76. - Come here, good girl. There we go.Copy !req
77. - What?
- I've got things going on.Copy !req
78. - What things?
- Just... things.Copy !req
79. Larry, things. It's personal.Copy !req
80. I thought this was personal.Copy !req
81. Oh, personal... medical.Copy !req
82. Okay?Copy !req
83. It's cervical.Copy !req
84. I had a Pap smear.
Something was irregular.Copy !req
85. Then I had to have another Pap smear.
They just called with the results.Copy !req
86. And?Copy !req
87. And it's... you know,
it's not for sure yet, you know...Copy !req
88. but they might have to go in
and take something out...Copy !req
89. and test it and make sure it's not,
you know.Copy !req
90. God forbid.Copy !req
91. - I'm sorry, Wen.
- Mmm.Copy !req
92. Annie had that.Copy !req
93. What?Copy !req
94. A cervical thing...
some kind of procedure.Copy !req
95. I went with her to the appointment.Copy !req
96. She said it was pretty painless.
A little sore afterwards...Copy !req
97. I feel... I don't need to be hearing
about your wife's cervix right now.Copy !req
98. - I'm just trying to be comforting.
- Oh, well, it's not.Copy !req
99. - Oh.
- It's upsetting.Copy !req
100. Okay.Copy !req
101. - Sorry.
- God!Copy !req
102. Come here.Copy !req
103. Come on!Copy !req
104. See you.Copy !req
105. Hello.Copy !req
106. Jon, it's me.Copy !req
107. Dad is writing on the walls
with his shit.Copy !req
108. - He's what?
- He's writing with his shit, Jon... words!Copy !req
109. On the bathroom wall, and he's
leaving them there, for this guy...Copy !req
110. Eduardo, to find, like messages.Copy !req
111. Wendy, what-what the fuck
are you talking about?Copy !req
112. - I am talking about Dad.
- Okay.Copy !req
113. He is losing his mind, or something.Copy !req
114. I got a phone call...
there's something wrong with him.Copy !req
115. He's acting out with his shit.
It's all he has left.Copy !req
116. And now he's using it
to piss this guy off.Copy !req
117. - Uh, what guy?
- Doris's caregiver guy.Copy !req
118. - Here, here. Listen.Copy !req
119. Aloha, Wendy.Copy !req
120. This is Nancy Lachman,
Doris Metzger's daug...Copy !req
121. There's been some trouble
with your dad.Copy !req
122. I know you haven't communicated
with your father for quite some time.Copy !req
123. He's not the same anymore.
He forgets things, and...Copy !req
124. I'm sorry to leave this
on the machine...Copy !req
125. but Eduardo found Lenny
this morning...Copy !req
126. - handling his, uh, fecal matter.
- Uh, Wendy...Copy !req
127. We hired Eduardo to care for
our mother, not your father.Copy !req
128. - Wendy!
- What?Copy !req
129. Turn it off!Copy !req
130. - What is your problem?
- It's the middle of the night.Copy !req
131. I've got to teach in the morning,
and I'm on a deadline.Copy !req
132. He is writing with his shit, Jon!
Our father!Copy !req
133. Do not leave me alone with this!Copy !req
134. I'm not leaving you alone.
I'm just hanging up.Copy !req
135. - We'll talk tomorrow. Okay?
- We don't even know
where the man lives anymore.Copy !req
136. You want to know where he lives?
Sun City.Copy !req
137. Have you ever heard of that?
In the middle of the desert somewhere.Copy !req
138. We're gonna have to
go out there and find him.Copy !req
139. We are not gonna have to
go out there and find him.Copy !req
140. Wendy, we are not
in a Sam Shepard play.Copy !req
141. We're gonna have to do something.
This is a crisis.Copy !req
142. Look, I don't think
this actually qualifies as a crisis.Copy !req
143. It's an alarm, okay?
But it's not a crisis, not yet.Copy !req
144. - You mean, it's like we're in Orange.
- What?Copy !req
145. Yeah. Right, exactly.Copy !req
146. But we're in Yellow, okay?Copy !req
147. So we should just... be aware...Copy !req
148. and be cautious.Copy !req
149. And when it hits Red,
then we're in trouble.Copy !req
150. Okay?Copy !req
151. Your color, right?
Ms. Metzger? Ravishing Red?Copy !req
152. Uh, right?Copy !req
153. See? Good color, right?Copy !req
154. Sexy. Okay.Copy !req
155. - Oh, my goodness.Copy !req
156. Ms. Metzger?Copy !req
157. Andy, it's me, Jon.Copy !req
158. Good, good.Copy !req
159. I'm, uh, still plugging away
on that Brecht book.Copy !req
160. Yeah, well, he's a complex man.
And you?Copy !req
161. Oh, yeah, I heard
Stanford's playing footsie with you.Copy !req
162. That's great. Oh, great.Copy !req
163. - Look, I need a favor.Copy !req
164. Well, it's kind of last minute.
I'm out of town, actually.Copy !req
165. Arizona.Copy !req
166. Yeah, it's a family thing.Copy !req
167. No, nothing serious. It's my father.Copy !req
168. No, he's just, uh...
his girlfriend died.Copy !req
169. Yeah. And, uh, he's getting pretty old
himself, I guess, like everybody.Copy !req
170. Yeah. Well, that's what
I was gonna ask you.Copy !req
171. It's my 9:00 a.m. On Monday.Copy !req
172. "Oedipal Rage and Beckett,"
of all things.Copy !req
173. - I have to stop at baggage claim.
- Hold on. Hold on a second.Copy !req
174. - You checked luggage?
We're only here for a day.
- Two days and one night.Copy !req
175. Excuse me
if I plan on changing my clothes.Copy !req
176. Sorry. Uh, it's my sister.Copy !req
177. - I gained some weight.
- I didn't say anything.Copy !req
178. Kasia didn't have you pack
a button-down?Copy !req
179. - What is this, a goddamn fashion show?
- No.Copy !req
180. It's just, when someone dies,
people dress up.Copy !req
181. She's moving back to Poland.Copy !req
182. - What, you and Kasia broke up?
- Her visa expired.Copy !req
183. S-So that's it?
Her visa expires, so... so it's over?Copy !req
184. Well, it's either that
or we get married...Copy !req
185. and no one's ready for that, okay?Copy !req
186. You've been together for over three years.
You're 42 years old...Copy !req
187. Wendy, I really don't need romantic advice
from my little sister at the moment.Copy !req
188. Let's just take care of the situation
and stay out of each other's shit, okay?Copy !req
189. I'm just trying to talk about it.Copy !req
190. Well, we're not in therapy right now.
We're in real life.Copy !req
191. Oh, here. I almost forgot.
Shoot. We have to sign this.Copy !req
192. They didn't have a very big selection.
Is this okay?Copy !req
193. "These words, we hope,
may ease your loss.Copy !req
194. "Our prayers are with you,
our love, our thoughts.Copy !req
195. So this is sent with some..."Copy !req
196. Here.Copy !req
197. Don't forget the balloon.Copy !req
198. You must be Leonard's kids.Copy !req
199. Uh-huh.Copy !req
200. The hospital's just five minutes away.Copy !req
201. And don't worry. It's nothing serious.Copy !req
202. He's been feeling kind of faint...Copy !req
203. and what with
the toileting incident and all...Copy !req
204. the doctor thought a few tests
were in order.Copy !req
205. Well, l-I guess...Copy !req
206. I guess we should be going then.Copy !req
207. - We're really sorry about your mom.
- Oh, thank you.Copy !req
208. Uh, Jon, Wendy...Copy !req
209. One more thing before you go.Copy !req
210. Please sit.Copy !req
211. I just want to say...Copy !req
212. you know, we love Lenny.Copy !req
213. He's been like family to us, but...Copy !req
214. he's not really our family...
he's yours.Copy !req
215. So...Copy !req
216. I hope you'll be able to find
someplace nice for him.Copy !req
217. - What do you mean?
- She means a place where he can live.Copy !req
218. - Right. He lives here.
- That's correct.Copy !req
219. Your father's been living off the charity
of our family for quite some time.Copy !req
220. - Bill...
- Why would you say charity, Bill?Copy !req
221. Doris asked my father to come live
with her as a boyfriend, not a boarder.Copy !req
222. They were a couple.
They were together for over 20 years.Copy !req
223. You can't just throw the man
out on the street.Copy !req
224. He has a right to live here. Legally speaking,
it's a common law marriage at this point.Copy !req
225. Not exactly.Copy !req
226. Not in front of the kids, Bill.Copy !req
227. Let's step outside.Copy !req
228. So, was Lenny there
when this was signed?Copy !req
229. Notarized, all legal.Copy !req
230. It's called a non-marital agreement.
It's like a prenup without the nup.Copy !req
231. It says that even though
they lived together...Copy !req
232. they have no legal obligation to each other,
that everything's separate.Copy !req
233. And, basically, Dad has no legal right
to any of her property.Copy !req
234. Bet you they've already
got the place listed.Copy !req
235. Did you notice that there wasn't
one picture of us anywhere?Copy !req
236. Are you surprised?Copy !req
237. It's like we don't even exist.Copy !req
238. on your toughest stains.Copy !req
239. How about this coffee stain on my blouse?Copy !req
240. I'll add some things
and make it really messy.Copy !req
241. Oxy Clean seeks out stains
and works right before your eyes.Copy !req
242. Grass and dirt don't stand a chance
against new Oxy Clean.Copy !req
243. It tackles grass, dirt and grease better
than ever. It gets the stains out.Copy !req
244. It's safe on all your laundry,
because it's chlorine-free.Copy !req
245. Wow!Copy !req
246. Add a scoop to every load
and see for yourself.Copy !req
247. It's tough on stains, safe on colors.Copy !req
248. And Oxy Clean still works great
on carpet and upholstery.Copy !req
249. Call now, and you'll receive
a whopping six pound...Copy !req
250. - Where the hell have you been?
- Hi, Dad.Copy !req
251. - Hi, Dad. How are you?
- How are you?Copy !req
252. They had me hog-tied for two days.Copy !req
253. We got here as soon as we could.Copy !req
254. We came straight from the airport.
It-It's Jon and Wendy.Copy !req
255. I know who you are.Copy !req
256. The late ones. You're late.Copy !req
257. You weren't here,
and this is what they do, see?Copy !req
258. - Dad...
- You weren't here, I said! Nobody!Copy !req
259. - Jon, go get somebody.
- We weren't here 'cause we live
on the East Coast.Copy !req
260. - Remember?
- Yeah?Copy !req
261. We haven't seen you in a long time.
We're here to help you.Copy !req
262. So do something!
You're the doctor!Copy !req
263. I'm gonna go get somebody.Copy !req
264. He's not that kind of doctor, Dad.
He-He's a professor.Copy !req
265. I thought my boy was a doctor.Copy !req
266. Doctor of Philosophy.Copy !req
267. PhD. Teaches college.Copy !req
268. - Medicine?Copy !req
269. No.Copy !req
270. Drama.Copy !req
271. - He teaches theater.
- Like Broadway?Copy !req
272. No, like... theater of social unrest.Copy !req
273. Stuff like that.Copy !req
274. He's doing a book on-on Bertolt Brecht.Copy !req
275. I'll release him
only if he promises to be good.Copy !req
276. We can't have him get out of bed by himself.
Are you going to be good, Mr. Savage?Copy !req
277. Are you going to be good, Dad?Copy !req
278. You're not good, they won't let you go.Copy !req
279. You can't keep pulling on everything.
This is for your own good.Copy !req
280. This is your food.Copy !req
281. We don't want him
climbing out on his own.Copy !req
282. - He's unsteady. He can fall.
- We'll keep an eye on him.Copy !req
283. Thank you.Copy !req
284. Vascular dementia or multi-infarct...Copy !req
285. usually follow one or more strokes...Copy !req
286. but I am not seeing
any sign of a stroke here.Copy !req
287. But the disinhibition,
the aggression, masked facies...Copy !req
288. with a blank stare that we had talked about
earlier, are all fairly good indicators.Copy !req
289. - Is it like Alzheimer's?
- There are a lot of illnesses
that can cause dementia.Copy !req
290. I'm not prepared to make
a diagnosis yet, but I think...Copy !req
291. his symptoms are much more
characteristic of Parkinson's disease.Copy !req
292. So, w-what do we have
to look forward to?Copy !req
293. Well, he's not a young man, so cardiac
or respiratory failure may spare him...Copy !req
294. from the worst of it, but, uh,
tremors when the limb is at rest...Copy !req
295. a shuffling walk, freezing up,
unable to initiate movement...Copy !req
296. more and more loss
of motor coordination in general.Copy !req
297. Maybe Dad didn't abandon us.
Maybe he just forgot who we were.Copy !req
298. - I'm gonna give Brian Deener a call.
- Who's that?Copy !req
299. He's a friend of mine,
teaches in the English department.Copy !req
300. He just put his mother
in a nursing home near campus.Copy !req
301. Could we have some more nuts?Copy !req
302. - Nursing home?
- Yeah. What?Copy !req
303. - I wasn't thinking about
putting him in a nursing home.
- What were you thinking?Copy !req
304. - I don't know, but I wasn't thinking that.
- Where else is he gonna live?Copy !req
305. I mean, really, what's the alternative?
You want to...Copy !req
306. - You want to change Dad's diapers, wipe his ass?
- He doesn't need diapers.Copy !req
307. - What do you think that catheter was?
- He's in the hospital.Copy !req
308. But look, even if they did
let Dad stay here...Copy !req
309. he'd still have to have somebody take care
of him. We can't afford that.Copy !req
310. You heard the nurse.
Dad falls. He's disoriented.Copy !req
311. He hasn't fallen once
since we've been here.Copy !req
312. Don't make me out to be the evil brother
who's putting away our father against your will.Copy !req
313. All right,
we're doing this together, right?Copy !req
314. Well, there's places.Copy !req
315. - What places?
- Like Aunt Gertie.Copy !req
316. That's assisted living. I'm not sure
Dad would get into one of those.Copy !req
317. Gertie's pretty independent, remember?
She's also rich.Copy !req
318. Okay, so I'm gonna call United...Copy !req
319. and try to get the first flight out
first thing tomorrow...Copy !req
320. get back and see if I can find
a place that'll take him.Copy !req
321. What am I gonna do?Copy !req
322. You're gonna stay here and hold down
the fort until I find something.Copy !req
323. By myself?Copy !req
324. Wendy, this is not the time to regress.Copy !req
325. I just don't know
if it's something that I can do...Copy !req
326. and so I just don't talk.Copy !req
327. I don't know how long he'll be gone,
uou don't know how long you'll be gone.Copy !req
328. And that's just not something
I think I can deal with...Copy !req
329. by talking on the phone
every couple weeks.Copy !req
330. We can talk more about this
when I get home.Copy !req
331. Tomorrow morning.Copy !req
332. I'll make sure to call when I get in.Copy !req
333. - Okay. Bye.Copy !req
334. Hey, Wendy? Wen?Copy !req
335. I'm going.Copy !req
336. That should take care of the hotel.Copy !req
337. Thanks.Copy !req
338. - Jon?
- Yeah?Copy !req
339. You okay?Copy !req
340. Yeah, I'm all right.
I'll talk to you later.Copy !req
341. Okay.Copy !req
342. - Walk up, walk back.Copy !req
343. Two step touch.Copy !req
344. Tap that left for four.Copy !req
345. Grapevine left.
Step touch four times!Copy !req
346. Now to the Sunday Puzzle from NPRNews.Copy !req
347. And the chance to match wits with fellow
listeners and puzzle master Will Shortz.Copy !req
348. - Here it is.
- Oh.Copy !req
349. Hello. Hello?Copy !req
350. Hello. Who is it?Copy !req
351. - Hung up.
- Book Expo was the big...Copy !req
352. So, not only do you have a formal
dining room, if you like to entertain...Copy !req
353. but you also have an updated kitchen
with granite countertops...Copy !req
354. oak cabinets,
brand-new appliances...Copy !req
355. and they all convey to the new owner.Copy !req
356. And look at this dramatic view...Copy !req
357. of the eighth tee
on the Lake West golf course.Copy !req
358. How perfect is this?Copy !req
359. You're also only
a five-minute stroll from...Copy !req
360. When you purchase a home
in Sun City, you're eligible...Copy !req
361. recreation centers.Copy !req
362. We have eight golf courses...Copy !req
363. Sure. We could try maybe 30 days.Copy !req
364. No, they're already pre-approved...Copy !req
365. so it's not gonna take any time at all.Copy !req
366. - Okay, I'll see you about 3:00.Copy !req
367. - Hello.
- Hi.Copy !req
368. Oh, my God, Jon. You are not...
You are not gonna believe this.Copy !req
369. I... I just... I found this stash...Copy !req
370. of photographs and stuff
that Dad's kept all these years.Copy !req
371. I can't believe it. I am looking at
the funniest picture of you right now.Copy !req
372. - Oh, yeah?
- You have braces.Copy !req
373. How come you got braces?
I never got braces.Copy !req
374. Ever looked at my teeth?
They're still crooked.Copy !req
375. Oh, yeah. How come?Copy !req
376. 'Cause Dad never paid the bills,
and the orthodontist was so pissed off...Copy !req
377. he pulled them out of my mouth
before my teeth were fixed.Copy !req
378. So I think I found something.Copy !req
379. What?Copy !req
380. It's a place with an opening
that can take him right away.Copy !req
381. What kind of place?Copy !req
382. A... A facility for older people.Copy !req
383. In this country,
they call 'em nursing homes.Copy !req
384. I thought we were gonna try
assisted living.Copy !req
385. They're not gonna take him at
assisted living, Wendy. Let's just be real.Copy !req
386. - He's got dementia.
- Well, don't lead with that.Copy !req
387. Look, if it's any consolation,
uh, this place...Copy !req
388. they don't call it a... a nursing home.Copy !req
389. - Well, what do they call it?
- Uh, rehabilitation center.Copy !req
390. It's called the Valley View.Copy !req
391. That sounds nice.Copy !req
392. - Is it?
- It's a nursing home, Wendy.Copy !req
393. - Does it smell?
- Yeah, it smells. They all smell.Copy !req
394. Look, this place has an empty bed,
they take Medicaid and it's close to my house.Copy !req
395. Believe me, once you get inside,
these places are all the same.Copy !req
396. - Hello?
- Make sure you have a coat for him
when we get there.Copy !req
397. He doesn't have any warm clothes.Copy !req
398. - Hi, Dad.
- Hiya.Copy !req
399. How ya feelin'?Copy !req
400. Not bad.Copy !req
401. You don't need these, right?Copy !req
402. Not your style.Copy !req
403. Look like Grandpa Walton.Copy !req
404. Okay, just sign and initial at the X's.Copy !req
405. And here are your valuables.Copy !req
406. New prescription. Medication.Copy !req
407. Thank you.Copy !req
408. And let me give you these.Copy !req
409. They don't really like us to give these away,
but you might need 'em.Copy !req
410. Thanks.Copy !req
411. Excuse me. Sorry.Copy !req
412. I'm sorry.Copy !req
413. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
414. Okay, Dad.Copy !req
415. Thank you.Copy !req
416. Excuse me. Sorry.Copy !req
417. Can we have your attention?Copy !req
418. We'd like to point out our safety features:
To properly fasten your seat belts...Copy !req
419. - What are you doing?
- Bathroom.Copy !req
420. - What?
- Bathroom!Copy !req
421. - O-Okay, we need to, um...
- Now!Copy !req
422. No, we need to wait for
the nice attendant to come...Copy !req
423. Okay. Sure. All right, all right.
I got... I got it.Copy !req
424. All right, all right.
There, there, there. All right?Copy !req
425. All right, wait. Wait for me,
wait for me, wait for me. All right.Copy !req
426. I'm right here.Copy !req
427. Okay?Copy !req
428. Okay.Copy !req
429. All right.Copy !req
430. What... What is it, Dad?Copy !req
431. - What are these?
- They're Dad's. I couldn't
get 'em back on his feet.Copy !req
432. They swelled up. I need ten bucks.Copy !req
433. - Where is he?
- Inside.Copy !req
434. Thank you. Pop the trunk.Copy !req
435. - Did you remember the coat?
- Yeah. I can't, uh, leave the car unattended.Copy !req
436. I'm sorry.Copy !req
437. the diplomats
were referring to intelligence reports...Copy !req
438. that North Korea had loaded booster
rockets onto a launchpad...Copy !req
439. and moved fuel tanks to the test site...Copy !req
440. in preparation for a possible launch
as early as tomorrow.Copy !req
441. We don't usually admit
new residents after 5:00...Copy !req
442. but I understand
you came a long way.Copy !req
443. Isn't that right, Mr. Savage?Copy !req
444. - What'd you say?
- You came a long way.Copy !req
445. Not too bad.Copy !req
446. How about Bingo?Copy !req
447. You like Bingo, Mr. Savage?Copy !req
448. Every Tuesday and Thursday night.Copy !req
449. Don't like it.Copy !req
450. That's Winston.Copy !req
451. We call him The Mayor.Copy !req
452. All right. Here we are.Copy !req
453. Have the bathroom and closet there.Copy !req
454. You will share that with Mr. Sperry.Copy !req
455. These are just the bare essentials,
of course.Copy !req
456. But once you move in,
you can fix it up any way you like.Copy !req
457. Mr. Sperry, you want to meet
your new neighbor, Mr. Savage?Copy !req
458. Hi.Copy !req
459. - Hi.Copy !req
460. All right. Well, I'll leave you alone to, uh,
look around and get yourselves together.Copy !req
461. Gonna need you to sign some papers.Copy !req
462. - I'll send somebody in to get him ready for bed.
- Okay.Copy !req
463. Good evening, sir. I'm Jimmy.Copy !req
464. You ready for a good night's sleep? Hmm?Copy !req
465. Give me arms up in the air. Up.Copy !req
466. Come on.Copy !req
467. Like you're under arrest.Copy !req
468. Good man.
You ever done time, Mr. Savage?Copy !req
469. It's a good idea not to make too big of a thing
when you leave for the first time.Copy !req
470. Just go real casual.
No big good-byes.Copy !req
471. We don't wanna get him agitated before
he's had time to settle in to his new home.Copy !req
472. - All right.
- Thank you.Copy !req
473. Don't worry.
We'll take good care of him.Copy !req
474. - Is everything okay, Dad?
- Not bad.Copy !req
475. All right then. See ya tomorrow.Copy !req
476. Good night, Dad.Copy !req
477. Hey.Copy !req
478. Don't forget to tip the girl
on the way out.Copy !req
479. All right.Copy !req
480. - What's the matter?Copy !req
481. He didn't... He didn't
even know where we were taking him.Copy !req
482. He still doesn't know.
He doesn't know where he is, Wendy.Copy !req
483. We are horrible,
horrible, horrible people.Copy !req
484. We are horrible!Copy !req
485. Horrible!Copy !req
486. Just horrible.Copy !req
487. Horrible.Copy !req
488. Looks like the Unabomber lives here.Copy !req
489. Yeah, well, I've been doing
a lot of research for the book.Copy !req
490. The couch is actually pretty comfortable.Copy !req
491. Great. Where is it?Copy !req
492. Those go over here... actually.Copy !req
493. It doesn't look like it, I know...Copy !req
494. but there's actually
a system to all this.Copy !req
495. Okay.Copy !req
496. Jon? What's Zocor?Copy !req
497. Is it for depression?Copy !req
498. - It's for cholesterol.
- You have high cholesterol?Copy !req
499. Yes!Copy !req
500. Is this all your nursing home research?Copy !req
501. Most of these aren't even open.Copy !req
502. Hill Haven. This looks nice.Copy !req
503. It's in Vermont. I really wish
you hadn't brought that down.Copy !req
504. - Jon.
- What?Copy !req
505. - What is it?
- Theatre of the Absurd.Copy !req
506. You gonna stop?Copy !req
507. Yeah.Copy !req
508. Sorry.Copy !req
509. Sorry.Copy !req
510. We're doing the right thing, Wen.Copy !req
511. We're taking better care of the old man
than he ever did of us.Copy !req
512. I know.Copy !req
513. Good night.Copy !req
514. We know this is one
of the toughest decisions of your life.Copy !req
515. What to do when the parent
who took care of you...Copy !req
516. can no longer take care of themselves?Copy !req
517. That's why here, at Greenhill Manor...Copy !req
518. we are committed to providing
the highest quality of care...Copy !req
519. for your loved ones.Copy !req
520. Our board-certified physicians
are dedicated...Copy !req
521. to maximizing both the physical...Copy !req
522. and emotional well-being
of your elder.Copy !req
523. Come celebrate 100 years
of award-winning care.Copy !req
524. And exhale.Copy !req
525. And breathe it up.Copy !req
526. And breathe up wonderful, good energy.Copy !req
527. Fill yourself with it.Copy !req
528. And let go of everything you don't need.Copy !req
529. Ahh.Copy !req
530. Good. Reaching for the person
in front of you, stretch... forward.Copy !req
531. Well, his Medicaid
seems to be squared away.Copy !req
532. And as far...Copy !req
533. as the advance directive...Copy !req
534. Hey, I take that.Copy !req
535. On your pen, for anxiety.Copy !req
536. Not all the time.
Just when I need it.Copy !req
537. Here's the, uh, health care proxy
we talked about...Copy !req
538. and the living will material.Copy !req
539. We'll need these signed
by both you and your father.Copy !req
540. The only thing missing here
is the paperwork regarding...Copy !req
541. the funeral arrangements.Copy !req
542. We'll need to know your father's
burial or cremation plans.Copy !req
543. See, if you switch
this little thing here...Copy !req
544. you can change the volume...Copy !req
545. and turn it off.Copy !req
546. - Okay?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
547. There you go.Copy !req
548. H-He's got it. He's got it.Copy !req
549. How's that?Copy !req
550. - Good level?
- Yeah. Yeah.Copy !req
551. Dad, we need to talk
about a couple things.Copy !req
552. - But we... we don't want you
to take it in the wrong way.
- Okay.Copy !req
553. Yeah, it's just, uh...
it's a couple questions...Copy !req
554. that'll make everything easier
in the long run.Copy !req
555. - Okay?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
556. Okay.Copy !req
557. In the event...Copy !req
558. In the event
that something should happen...Copy !req
559. Um...Copy !req
560. Mm-hmm?Copy !req
561. How...Copy !req
562. - Dad...
- How do you want us to, um...Copy !req
563. Dad, what if you were in a coma?Copy !req
564. Jon.Copy !req
565. Would you... Would you... Would you want
a breathing machine to keep you alive?Copy !req
566. What kind of question's that?Copy !req
567. It's a question we should know, in case.Copy !req
568. In case what?Copy !req
569. In case something happens.Copy !req
570. Nothing's gonna happen.
Right now. Nothing new.Copy !req
571. Right, it's... it's just procedure.Copy !req
572. It's something they want
for their records.Copy !req
573. - Who?
- The people who run the place.Copy !req
574. The Valley View.Copy !req
575. What the hell kind of hotel is it?Copy !req
576. Dad, it's not a hotel,
it's a nursing home.Copy !req
577. Unplug me.Copy !req
578. What?Copy !req
579. Pull the plug!Copy !req
580. Okay, Dad. So now,
um, once we unplug you...Copy !req
581. - I'm dead.
- Right.Copy !req
582. - And then, we...
- What?Copy !req
583. What do we do with you?Copy !req
584. Bury me!Copy !req
585. What are you, a bunch of idiots?
You bury me!Copy !req
586. Christ.Copy !req
587. - Oh, Jesus!
- Sorry to scare you.Copy !req
588. You just gave your sister heart attack.Copy !req
589. She didn't expect to find Polish woman
in her brother's home.Copy !req
590. - I told you.
- No, you didn't.Copy !req
591. - Yes, I did.
- No, you didn't.Copy !req
592. - Yes, I did.
- No, you didn't.Copy !req
593. L-I'm taking Kas to the airport in the morning.
Early flight, right?Copy !req
594. We have to leave at 6:30 at latest.Copy !req
595. Okay.Copy !req
596. It's back to Kraków for Kasia.Copy !req
597. Yeah, Jon told me. I'm sorry.Copy !req
598. Your brother won't marry me...Copy !req
599. but when I cook him eggs, he cries.Copy !req
600. I should take cab to airport
like self-respecting feminist woman...Copy !req
601. but here I am.Copy !req
602. See you in morning.Copy !req
603. - How'd it go at the airport?
- It was fine.Copy !req
604. Good.Copy !req
605. - Was it emotional?
- No, not really.Copy !req
606. She loves you.Copy !req
607. Yeah, well, there are
practical considerations...Copy !req
608. that love has nothing to do with.Copy !req
609. - Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
610. Like what?Copy !req
611. Do you have any idea how many
Comp Lit critical theory PhDs there are...Copy !req
612. running around this country
looking for work?Copy !req
613. Even if Kasia and I did get married
and she stayed...Copy !req
614. she could end up teaching
at some university...Copy !req
615. that's farther away from here
than Poland.Copy !req
616. And then we wouldn't be together either.
See what I'm saying?Copy !req
617. You're an idiot.Copy !req
618. Can we just play the game?Copy !req
619. - I got us an interview.
- For what?Copy !req
620. For a really nice alternative
to the Valley View.Copy !req
621. - But we just got him in there.
- Just hold your judgments until you see it.Copy !req
622. It's very beautiful.Copy !req
623. It's called Green Hill Manor.Copy !req
624. Sounds like an insane asylum.Copy !req
625. Aah! Oh!Copy !req
626. - Are you okay?Copy !req
627. - No, I'm not okay.
- Are you having a heart attack?Copy !req
628. No, I'm not having a heart attack!Copy !req
629. Wendy, fuck!Copy !req
630. - How much do I fill it up?
- 18 pounds.Copy !req
631. What do I do with it?Copy !req
632. Just hook it to this.Copy !req
633. Okay, further down.Copy !req
634. - What, am I gonna pull it?
- No, that's it, that's it, that's it... good.Copy !req
635. - Ow, ow.Copy !req
636. - What, it's not funny.Copy !req
637. It's not.Copy !req
638. - Really, it's not.
- What...Copy !req
639. It's not funny.Copy !req
640. - What's it supposed to do?
- It relieves the pressure.Copy !req
641. I'm supposed to stay like this
for 30 minutes.Copy !req
642. - Oh.
- And...Copy !req
643. All right, Wendy. Go get my mail.Copy !req
644. Just go get my mail.Copy !req
645. - Stop staring.Copy !req
646. This is for you.Copy !req
647. Larry Mendlessohn.
Who's Larry Mendlessohn?Copy !req
648. A friend of mine,
forwarding me my mail.Copy !req
649. Is it the married guy?Copy !req
650. I'm starving.
Want something to eat?Copy !req
651. I thought you were going to stop
seeing that creep.Copy !req
652. - How about tuna melts?
- Whatever.Copy !req
653. - Here you go.
- Thanks.Copy !req
654. Look, I need you to spend
Thanksgiving with Dad.Copy !req
655. We're not doing it together?Copy !req
656. It's the only time I can get away
for research.Copy !req
657. - Well, I have things to do, too.
- Like what?Copy !req
658. Like my life, for instance,
in New York City.Copy !req
659. Maybe it's time to stop
being so self-involved...Copy !req
660. and think about someone else's life
for a change.Copy !req
661. Yeah, like you, who can't put his book aside
for a minute while Dad dies.Copy !req
662. I've got to get this thing finished, Wendy.
My editor thinks it's a good time for it.Copy !req
663. Everyone's really itching for a book
about Bertolt Brecht this holiday season.Copy !req
664. Wendy, I'm working.Copy !req
665. I'm working.Copy !req
666. I know you are.Copy !req
667. L... I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.Copy !req
668. It's just...Copy !req
669. It's just I got a lot riding on this book.Copy !req
670. And... And your life's
much more portable than mine.Copy !req
671. What is that supposed to mean?Copy !req
672. What, like-like a toilet?
What, like a porta-potty?Copy !req
673. No, it's just, you know,
you don't have a job job, I do.Copy !req
674. I have obligations.Copy !req
675. You're... You're freelance.Copy !req
676. Couldn't you just hook up
with a temp agency around here?Copy !req
677. Actually, Jon...Copy !req
678. I'm being funded right now,
to work on my plays.Copy !req
679. And that-that might seem
a little self-involved to you...Copy !req
680. but I also have obligations
to a prestigious foundation...Copy !req
681. that has put a lot of faith in me...Copy !req
682. and, frankly, has given me a hell
of a lot more support than he ever has.Copy !req
683. You got it?Copy !req
684. What?Copy !req
685. The Guggenheim?Copy !req
686. Yeah.Copy !req
687. Really?Copy !req
688. Yeah, really.Copy !req
689. - Why do you sound so surprised?
- L-I'm not. I'm just...Copy !req
690. It's just a really hard thing to get
is all.Copy !req
691. L-I applied for it a half dozen times.
I never got one.Copy !req
692. Well, I did.Copy !req
693. Why is that so hard for you to believe?Copy !req
694. No, l-I believe it. I just can't believe
you've been keeping it a secret.Copy !req
695. - I just found out.
- Just now?Copy !req
696. Oh, my God. It's... amazing.Copy !req
697. That's really great, Wen.Copy !req
698. I, uh... I'm really proud of you.Copy !req
699. You are?Copy !req
700. Yeah, it's amazing. It's major.Copy !req
701. It's, um...Copy !req
702. I mean, maybe this is your...
your time, you know. Your year.Copy !req
703. Look, how about we both work here
and ride out the holidays together...Copy !req
704. and get lots of writing done,
and, you know, we... it'll be fun.Copy !req
705. We'll inspire each other.Copy !req
706. Uh, our own little writers' colony.Copy !req
707. I'm really proud of you, Wen.Copy !req
708. You stole painkillers from a dead woman?Copy !req
709. - Mmm.
- Do they work?Copy !req
710. Mm, mm, mm, mm.Copy !req
711. Salud.Copy !req
712. Bye.Copy !req
713. - You're in my apartment?
- I'm on your bed with Marley.Copy !req
714. She's got one of your T-shirts.Copy !req
715. Mm-mm!Copy !req
716. It smells like you,
like, uh, lavender and sweat.Copy !req
717. Genghis is here, too.
I'm totally getting a hard-on.Copy !req
718. - Will you please...
- Sorry.Copy !req
719. - How's Genghis?
- She's good. You want to hear her?Copy !req
720. - Yeah.
- Come here, honey. Here you go.Copy !req
721. - Hello, bunny.Copy !req
722. Oh, beast.Copy !req
723. She misses you.Copy !req
724. You giving her her medication?Copy !req
725. Yeah.Copy !req
726. Did you water my plant?Copy !req
727. Yeah, it's doing good.Copy !req
728. - When are you coming back?
- After the holidays.Copy !req
729. - Thank you for sending me my mail.
- Oh, no problem.Copy !req
730. - Uh, Wen?
- Yeah?Copy !req
731. I'm gonna be leaving town
next week for a week.Copy !req
732. - L-I won't be able to take care of Genghis.
- Where are you going?Copy !req
733. Uh, Toronto, to visit Annie's family.Copy !req
734. It's her parents' 50th anniversary.Copy !req
735. Wendy?Copy !req
736. Wendy?Copy !req
737. Did you lose your hard-on?Copy !req
738. Wendy, come on.
How about I drive up and bring Genghis?Copy !req
739. We could spend the afternoon together.
It'll be fun.Copy !req
740. I know it's not much of an offer, but...Copy !req
741. you know my situation.Copy !req
742. Okay, now if we could all take a look...Copy !req
743. at the second page of the blue handout...Copy !req
744. you'll see a section called
"Creating Special Moments."Copy !req
745. If you're ever at a loss for what to do
with your elder on visiting days...Copy !req
746. - this list can come in very handy.Copy !req
747. Hello? Are you here
for the support group?Copy !req
748. You have a family member with dementia?Copy !req
749. Okay, well, you're in the right place.Copy !req
750. Just grab a couple packets and welcome.Copy !req
751. And there's room up front.
We won't hurt you.Copy !req
752. You've probably been hurt enough already.Copy !req
753. We're talking about activities you can share
with your confused elder on visiting day.Copy !req
754. I culled that list from a terrific book.Copy !req
755. You laugh, but I love this series.Copy !req
756. When my mother was diagnosed
with Parkinson's, this was my bible.Copy !req
757. Here we go. "Number one:
Ask your elder about the old days. "Copy !req
758. Okay, now I know that sounds
pretty obvious...Copy !req
759. but when you're dealing with dementia,
you have to work extra hard at this.Copy !req
760. You can't just sit on the side of the bed,
asking questions.Copy !req
761. Bring things in
to stimulate their memory.Copy !req
762. Old movies are a terrific so...
Excuse me!Copy !req
763. Uh, we... we haven't served
the refreshments yet.Copy !req
764. Uh, photographs, that seems obvious.Copy !req
765. Uh, movies from the...Copy !req
766. from their era, again,
can also be very powerful.Copy !req
767. Oh.Copy !req
768. Is that your neighborhood, Dad?Copy !req
769. Yep.Copy !req
770. They got that right.Copy !req
771. There she is.Copy !req
772. - Who?
- You see her?Copy !req
773. She's cooking my dinner for me.Copy !req
774. - That bastard.
- That's the father, Dad.Copy !req
775. - Hey, you son of a bitch!
- Shut up. Will you shut up?Copy !req
776. You shut yourself up!
It's my night!Copy !req
777. - He'd always smack me aroundl
- Dad, it's okay. Sit down.Copy !req
778. You're in the way of the program.
Sit down.Copy !req
779. - Go to hell, you goddamn old vegetable.
- You're an animal.Copy !req
780. - Drop dead!
- Sit down. Dad, it's okay. It's okay. Just sit down.Copy !req
781. This is supposed to remind him
of the olden days.Copy !req
782. Look behind you.Copy !req
783. - Why are they still showing this?
- This is their entertainment.Copy !req
784. You can't judge it by today's standards.Copy !req
785. You have to look at it
in a historical context.Copy !req
786. I just thought Dad would like
an old movie. Bye. Thanks.Copy !req
787. Thank you so much. Thanks.Copy !req
788. - Thank God we have that interview tomorrow.Copy !req
789. Let's just take the stairs.Copy !req
790. Thank you. Thanks.Copy !req
791. They're gonna ask you
a bunch of questions...Copy !req
792. and you're really gonna
have to concentrate, Dad.Copy !req
793. - It's important.
- Okay.Copy !req
794. - What's that?
- Gingko biloba... boosts brain function.Copy !req
795. Want some?Copy !req
796. Dad, open your mouth.Copy !req
797. Mm.Copy !req
798. It's like a pharmacy in there.Copy !req
799. What are those?Copy !req
800. Antidepressants. You should try some.Copy !req
801. - I'm not depressed.
- Please.Copy !req
802. You must be the Savages.Copy !req
803. - Hi. Jon.
- Roz. How do you do?Copy !req
804. - Wendy. Hello.
- Nice to meet you.Copy !req
805. - Our father.
- Nice to meet you. I'm Roz Landis.Copy !req
806. My name is
Leonard MichaelJoseph Savage.Copy !req
807. Okay. Lenny, can you tell me
what season we're in?Copy !req
808. - Cold.Copy !req
809. And the season is?Copy !req
810. Winter. What do you think?Copy !req
811. And what is the date today?Copy !req
812. November.Copy !req
813. I don't remember the day.Copy !req
814. Okay.Copy !req
815. Can you tell me where we are?Copy !req
816. What city we're in?Copy !req
817. Put down "East Coast."Copy !req
818. Boston.Copy !req
819. - Boston, Mass.
- You can't help him, Ms. Savage.Copy !req
820. - He has to be able
to answer the questions himself.
- He knows where he is.Copy !req
821. - Wendy.
- What?Copy !req
822. - She's conducting a test.
- I know. I'm not an idiot.Copy !req
823. Let her ask the goddamn questions!Copy !req
824. What'd you say to them?Copy !req
825. I said he was pretty good except
he goes in and out every once in a while.Copy !req
826. "In and out"?
Wendy, the man's got dementia.Copy !req
827. L- I know, but they only had beds
for people who are more independent.Copy !req
828. I thought if we could
just get him in there...Copy !req
829. Why are you wasting our time
on fantasies?Copy !req
830. She said she would put him
on one of the waiting lists.Copy !req
831. I mean, J-Jesus,
l-I'm just doing it for Dad.Copy !req
832. Dad's not the one that has
a problem with the Valley View.Copy !req
833. I'm just trying to improve the situation.
Is that a crime?Copy !req
834. There's nothing wrong with Dad's situation.
Dad's situation is fine.Copy !req
835. He's never gonna adjust to it
if we keep yanking him out.Copy !req
836. And actually, this upward mobility
fixation of yours...Copy !req
837. it's counterproductive
and, frankly, pretty selfish.Copy !req
838. - Selfish?
- Because it's not about Dad,
it's about you and your guilt.Copy !req
839. - That's what these places prey upon.Copy !req
840. I happen to think it's nicer here.Copy !req
841. Of course you do, because you are
the consumer they want to target.Copy !req
842. You are the guilty demographic.
The landscaping, the neighborhoods of care...Copy !req
843. They're not for the residents,
they're for the relatives...Copy !req
844. people like you and me who don't want
to admit to what's really going on here.Copy !req
845. - Which is what, Jon?
- People are dying, Wendy!Copy !req
846. Right inside that beautiful building right now,
it's a fucking horror show!Copy !req
847. A-And all this wellness propaganda
and the landscaping...Copy !req
848. It's just there to obscure
the miserable fact that people die!Copy !req
849. And death is gaseous and gruesome...Copy !req
850. and it's filled with shit
and piss and rotten stink!Copy !req
851. Come on, Nana.Copy !req
852. There. What do you think?Copy !req
853. What's it do?Copy !req
854. - Nothing. It's just something nice to look at.
- Oh.Copy !req
855. - Hey, how you doing, Mr. Savage?
- Hi, Jimmy.Copy !req
856. That's notJimmy, Dad.Copy !req
857. What the hell are you talking about?Copy !req
858. - I'm sorry. He's... He gets a little...
- It's okay.Copy !req
859. It's Howard, Mr. Savage.
I'm here to put you to bed.Copy !req
860. Thursday is Jimmy's night off.Copy !req
861. Well, then...Copy !req
862. I better get going, so, good night, Dad.Copy !req
863. Good night.Copy !req
864. Good night, Mr. Sperry.Copy !req
865. - Leave it on.
- Are you sure?Copy !req
866. - Won't keep you up?
- Yes, I'm sure.Copy !req
867. Here you go. Good night, Mr. Savage.Copy !req
868. Good night.Copy !req
869. Hey, Wen!Copy !req
870. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
871. Hi, baby. Hello. Where's the beast?Copy !req
872. - Here.
- Oh, hello, beast.Copy !req
873. Hello!Copy !req
874. - Did you remember her papers?
- Yeah.Copy !req
875. - Thanks.
- Yeah.Copy !req
876. - How's Marley?
- She, you know... She's hanging in there.Copy !req
877. Her hind legs are really bothering her...Copy !req
878. but I found this great vet over at the
animal hospital... that place on the East Side.Copy !req
879. They have her in physical therapy.
Do you believe it?Copy !req
880. She's hanging out twice a week
in the whirlpool.Copy !req
881. Get in. Come on. We'll take a ride.Copy !req
882. I've never been to Buffalo.Copy !req
883. Let's have some fun! I've missed you!Copy !req
884. Jon?Copy !req
885. Jon!Copy !req
886. - What?
- I'm gonna go out for a minute.Copy !req
887. - Okay.
- Um, this is my friend Larry.Copy !req
888. - This is Jon.
- Hi, Jon.Copy !req
889. - Hi, Larry.
- Wendy's told me a lot about you.Copy !req
890. I loved your essay
on Mother Courage, by the way.Copy !req
891. Wendy showed it to me. I did
a production of it. It was a huge help.Copy !req
892. Okay.Copy !req
893. - He seems really nice.
- Yeah.Copy !req
894. Is that my ficus?Copy !req
895. Yeah! Yeah, good dog, good d...
Come on. Go get it.Copy !req
896. - Ooh.
- Ow!Copy !req
897. - Oh. Oh.
- God!Copy !req
898. Sorry. I'm sorry. Come on.Copy !req
899. - I don't know.
- What?Copy !req
900. I don't know.Copy !req
901. You killed my plant.Copy !req
902. - No, I didn't.
- Well, it's not thriving.Copy !req
903. - It was thriving when I left.
- I'm sorry.Copy !req
904. It's not the plant.
The plant is symbolic.Copy !req
905. - Of what?
- What do you think?Copy !req
906. - I know this isn't perfect.
- It's not perfect? I mean, come on, Larry.Copy !req
907. I mean, for Christ's sake,
I have an MFA.Copy !req
908. I mean, look at this.Copy !req
909. We're in a motel room in Buffalo.Copy !req
910. - I mean, it's embarrassing. It's a cliché!
- Shh.Copy !req
911. - What cliché?
- The midlife crisis cliché.Copy !req
912. - Whose?
- Yours!Copy !req
913. You are married. You are cheating.Copy !req
914. You are sleeping with a younger woman.Copy !req
915. Uh, Wendy...Copy !req
916. You're-You're not exactly
a younger woman.Copy !req
917. - What's that supposed to mean?
- You're 39.Copy !req
918. - You're 52.
- So?Copy !req
919. - That makes you older.
- Yeah, technically.Copy !req
920. But this is not exactly the paradigm...Copy !req
921. of a prototypical winter-spring romance.Copy !req
922. Annie's 46.
I mean, you're not my little student.Copy !req
923. It's not like we got
The Blue Angel going on here.Copy !req
924. - You know, the professor
character in The Blue Angel?
- Yeah, Larry, I know the film.Copy !req
925. Well, yeah, so the poor slob
has an affair with his student...Copy !req
926. and his life is destroyed by it.Copy !req
927. - Von Stroheim.
- Von Sternberg.Copy !req
928. - Whatever.
- Von Sternberg.Copy !req
929. - You know what I mean. Marlene Dietrich.
- It's...Copy !req
930. She was a nightclub singer.
She was not a student.Copy !req
931. But there... there is... There's a
Francine Prose novel by the same name...Copy !req
932. about a professor-student relationship.Copy !req
933. - Why do you do this?
- What?Copy !req
934. You do this all the time, and on top of that,
you insult me by telling me that I'm the one...Copy !req
935. that's having a midlife crisis here, when you're
the one having an affair with a married guy...Copy !req
936. instead of seeking real intimacy...Copy !req
937. with someone who is available
for real commitment.Copy !req
938. And you know, it's all about your father.Copy !req
939. Oh, hey!Copy !req
940. Hey.Copy !req
941. I'm just trying to have
a healthy, normal sex life here.Copy !req
942. - L... Look, I'm not betraying anyone.Copy !req
943. Only yourself.Copy !req
944. - What?
- Nothing.Copy !req
945. Wait. Wendy.Copy !req
946. Wendy.Copy !req
947. You don't have... Oh, for...Copy !req
948. Don't do this.Copy !req
949. Come on, Wen, don't...
Hey, do you want me to help? Oh.Copy !req
950. - Are you okay?Copy !req
951. Look, I'll call you.Copy !req
952. You double-crosser! You Judas!Copy !req
953. Harry! Harry, go back!Copy !req
954. Turn me in.
Cut my throat for a thousand quidlCopy !req
955. Go, back, Harryl I'll get helplCopy !req
956. Oh, HarrylCopy !req
957. All right, go to Kristo.
There you are, KristolCopy !req
958. Give her the blood money
she cut my throat for.Copy !req
959. Can we please not use
this horrible light?Copy !req
960. It's depressing.Copy !req
961. I bought you this one, Dad.
Remember?Copy !req
962. See how nice this is?Copy !req
963. - Wendy?Copy !req
964. What's-What's going on with that?Copy !req
965. It's not gonna affect you in any way.Copy !req
966. They said it was fine for her to stay here
as long as I could prove she's had all her shots.Copy !req
967. I still don't think it's a good idea.Copy !req
968. Well, they like animals here, Jon.Copy !req
969. Apparently, it's good
for the residents' well-being.Copy !req
970. They reduce stress, so if you just
fucking calm down about it.Copy !req
971. Hey, hey, hey!Copy !req
972. Dad?Copy !req
973. I want to introduce you to someone.Copy !req
974. - I don't see anything.
- Well, here, let me prop you up.Copy !req
975. - Where's your pillow?
- What?Copy !req
976. - Where's Dad's pillow?
- All right, what pillow?Copy !req
977. The big red one, the one I bought him.
The one from Urban Outfitters.Copy !req
978. You saw it!Copy !req
979. Jesus, Jon!Copy !req
980. - Excuse me.
- Hold on a second. Yeah.Copy !req
981. My father has a big red pillow
that I bought for him...Copy !req
982. and it's missing from his room.Copy !req
983. I just started my shift.
Try Simone in the lounge.Copy !req
984. - Are you Simone?
- I am.Copy !req
985. I'm Lenny Savage's daughter in B-26.Copy !req
986. He has a big red pillow I bought him.
It's missing.Copy !req
987. - Did he have his name on it?
- And his room number.Copy !req
988. What's it look like?Copy !req
989. Big... red... pillow.Copy !req
990. Excuse me. Ma'am?Copy !req
991. That belongs to my father.Copy !req
992. The pillow.Copy !req
993. It doesn't belong to you,
it belongs to my father.Copy !req
994. Huh?Copy !req
995. I'm so sorry.
It doesn't belong to you.Copy !req
996. No!Copy !req
997. You all right?Copy !req
998. Here you go, Dad.Copy !req
999. Dad, I thought you might like this
to help prop you up.Copy !req
1000. Lean forward.Copy !req
1001. There. Dad!Copy !req
1002. - Ah, Wendy, forget it.
- I don't want it.Copy !req
1003. Are you sure?
It'll make you more comfortable.Copy !req
1004. Come on. Here we go.Copy !req
1005. I don't want it! Can't you hear?Copy !req
1006. What the hell does she think
I'm paying her for? To bother me?Copy !req
1007. Wendy, he doesn't know
what he's talking about.Copy !req
1008. You want one?Copy !req
1009. Thanks.Copy !req
1010. Thank you.Copy !req
1011. So what's in the box?Copy !req
1012. A cat.Copy !req
1013. Taking it out for a walk?Copy !req
1014. Your cat is cold.Copy !req
1015. Come over here.
I'll turn the heat on.Copy !req
1016. How's he doing?Copy !req
1017. My friend in B-26.Copy !req
1018. Oh, he's good.Copy !req
1019. I mean he's not good,
but he's... he's okay. He's fine.Copy !req
1020. He likes Tater Tots.Copy !req
1021. It's the only thing he touches sometimes.Copy !req
1022. I give him extras when I can.Copy !req
1023. Double servings.Copy !req
1024. You married?Copy !req
1025. No.Copy !req
1026. - But my boyfriend is.Copy !req
1027. Does your mother know
you're doing that?Copy !req
1028. She's not really in the picture.Copy !req
1029. She dead? That's why
she never comes around, eh?Copy !req
1030. No. Just kind of obsolete
in the parenting department.Copy !req
1031. - She just wasn't very good at it.
- Hmm.Copy !req
1032. Neither was my father, actually.Copy !req
1033. So that's why a pretty woman doesn't
have a husband or a family of her own.Copy !req
1034. What do you do when you're not here?Copy !req
1035. I'm a, um...Copy !req
1036. a theater person.Copy !req
1037. I temp for money, but it's not my main thing.
I write plays.Copy !req
1038. Like Shakespeare?Copy !req
1039. - Yeah. Well, not as good.Copy !req
1040. - What are your plays about?
- What, my plays?Copy !req
1041. - Can I read one?
- Are you kidding?Copy !req
1042. - No, no.
- You actually want to read one of my plays?Copy !req
1043. What's so strange about that?Copy !req
1044. No, it's just that, you know,
in my world...Copy !req
1045. people don't usually want
to read somebody's...Copy !req
1046. unproduced play.Copy !req
1047. Your father's doing okay, by the way.Copy !req
1048. He's got some time left.Copy !req
1049. - How do you know?
- His toes.Copy !req
1050. They haven't started to curl under yet.Copy !req
1051. The toes, they always curl under
a few days before.Copy !req
1052. What, is that some kind ofJamaican
folklore thing or something?Copy !req
1053. I learned it from being here.Copy !req
1054. We all talk about it.
It's always the same.Copy !req
1055. - The toes curl?
- Hmm.Copy !req
1056. Like the witch in The Wizard of Oz.Copy !req
1057. A couple of days before they go.Copy !req
1058. Why, do you think?Copy !req
1059. They say it's the air leaving the body.Copy !req
1060. I'm from Nigeria, by the way.Copy !req
1061. Wendy.Copy !req
1062. - Thank you.Copy !req
1063. Jon, it's locked.Copy !req
1064. Come on. Open it.Copy !req
1065. They published the list in the paper,
and your name wasn't on it.Copy !req
1066. What?Copy !req
1067. The Guggenheim Foundation took out
an ad in the New York Times...Copy !req
1068. announcing their fellows for the year,
and your name wasn't on it.Copy !req
1069. - That's weird.
- Yeah.Copy !req
1070. Must have been an oversight.Copy !req
1071. Can you... Can you let me in?
I'm freezing.Copy !req
1072. - It-It wasn't.
- What?Copy !req
1073. An oversight.Copy !req
1074. How do you know?Copy !req
1075. Because I called
the Guggenheim Foundation.Copy !req
1076. Let me in the car.Copy !req
1077. - Hi, Dad.
- Hi.Copy !req
1078. I called them to find out
why your name wasn't on the list.Copy !req
1079. - Why would you do that?
- 'Cause I was looking out for you.Copy !req
1080. You were policing me.Copy !req
1081. You're sick. That's sick, Jon.Copy !req
1082. No. You're sick.Copy !req
1083. You're the sick one, Wendy.Copy !req
1084. A friend of mine does some consulting
for the Guggenheim Foundation.Copy !req
1085. He looked your name up in the computer.Copy !req
1086. You've been rejected eight times.Copy !req
1087. So? How many times
have you been rejected?Copy !req
1088. Fuck! That's not the point.Copy !req
1089. - Six.
- Hmm, no, no.Copy !req
1090. The point is you don't think
I have any talent.Copy !req
1091. The point is you called them
because you just couldn't believe...Copy !req
1092. that your little sister might just get one!Copy !req
1093. - Uh, that's not true.
- Yeah, yeah, it is true.Copy !req
1094. You're just like him. He never thought
I could do anything either.Copy !req
1095. - Why are you comparing me to Dad?
- Comparing you to...Copy !req
1096. - What is the point?
- No! You don't think I have talent.Copy !req
1097. You just don't think I can do anything.Copy !req
1098. You obviously don't think
you can do anything either...Copy !req
1099. because you have to fucking lie about itlCopy !req
1100. - Are you out of your mind?
- I'm out of my mind?Copy !req
1101. - Where'd you get the money from, Wen?
- I got a grant.Copy !req
1102. - Just cut the crap, Wendy.
- I got a grant, Jon! I did.Copy !req
1103. Okay, fine,
I didn't win a Guggenheim.Copy !req
1104. Big fucking deal.Copy !req
1105. It was a different kind of grant.Copy !req
1106. - What kind?
- What?Copy !req
1107. You got a different kind of grant.
What'd you get?Copy !req
1108. FEMA.Copy !req
1109. What? I never heard of that.Copy !req
1110. FEMA.Copy !req
1111. FEMA?Copy !req
1112. You mean FEMA,
Federal Emergency Management?Copy !req
1113. You took money from FEMA?Copy !req
1114. I was granted the money.Copy !req
1115. What was the federal emergency?Copy !req
1116. 9/11.Copy !req
1117. What does that have to do with you?Copy !req
1118. I worked downtown. I was affected.Copy !req
1119. Everyone was affected.
The whole world was affected.Copy !req
1120. That doesn't mean they're going around
taking money from people who really need it.Copy !req
1121. There was no work for months.
All the temps... All the temps applied.Copy !req
1122. I was not the first one to...Copy !req
1123. Look, l-I am trying
to get my life together.Copy !req
1124. - By stealing money
from the federal government?
- I did not steal it!Copy !req
1125. There's a thing where you can apply...Copy !req
1126. if you lost 25% of your salary
or something like that!Copy !req
1127. I don't remember the details.
You call FEMA, you ask them.Copy !req
1128. - I'm not.
- Look, they care about me more than you do.Copy !req
1129. I'm not calling FEMA.
Okay?Copy !req
1130. - I'm sorry.
- Ha, ha.Copy !req
1131. Hello. Yes.Copy !req
1132. No, it's okay. What... What's wrong?
Is he all right?Copy !req
1133. What?Copy !req
1134. Okay. Okay, uh, I understand.
We'll, uh... We'll be right over.Copy !req
1135. Thank you.Copy !req
1136. - Is he okay?
- It's-It's not Dad. It's Genghis.Copy !req
1137. She got in a fight with that other cat.Copy !req
1138. They want us to get her out of there now.Copy !req
1139. I told you that cat was a bad idea.Copy !req
1140. Genghis.Copy !req
1141. - Hi.
- Hi.Copy !req
1142. - What happened?
- I don't know.Copy !req
1143. They were getting along fine before.Copy !req
1144. She's under here.
She won't come out.Copy !req
1145. - Genghis.Copy !req
1146. Sometimes, if you just ignore her,
she comes.Copy !req
1147. - Yeah?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1148. I read your play.Copy !req
1149. - Oh, yeah?
- Mm-hmm.Copy !req
1150. I liked it.Copy !req
1151. - No way. Really?
- Yeah.Copy !req
1152. You didn't think it was a bunch
of middle-class whining?Copy !req
