and they're gonna be opening

00:01:30.458 --> 00:01:32.000
at Madison Square Garden, starting...

00:01:53.666 --> 00:01:55.250
Is that Uncle Charlie?

00:01:55.333 --> 00:01:57.083
I was trying to fucking help you pitch.

00:01:57.166 --> 00:01:58.541
Help me pitch?

00:01:58.625 --> 00:02:00.458
This is batting practice, okay?

00:02:00.541 --> 00:02:02.375
It's not for you to help me pitch.

00:02:02.458 --> 00:02:04.083
I'm worried about you.

00:02:06.166 --> 00:02:08.291
All right, shut the fuck up.

00:02:08.375 --> 00:02:10.101
All right, all right, all right. Ready?

00:02:10.125 --> 00:02:11.375
Ah, this guy's got nothing.

00:02:11.458 --> 00:02:13.166
You got nothing. Come on, Chaz.

00:02:13.250 --> 00:02:15.916
- All right, here we go.
- Come on, come on, Goose.

00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.875
Come on, get it by him. Get it by him.

00:02:29.333 --> 00:02:31.333
I'll see you back at the house.

00:02:32.416 --> 00:02:34.375
Ruthie's back there, too.

00:02:34.458 --> 00:02:36.000
Be a full house.

00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:38.541
Okay.

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:43.666
- What are you gonna do?
- Come on, Chaz. Come on.

00:02:46.875 --> 00:02:48.791
Come on.

00:02:48.875 --> 00:02:50.750
We're going home.

00:02:51.833 --> 00:02:54.916
We're going home. Again.

00:02:56.000 --> 00:02:57.541
All right, here you go. Nice grip.

00:02:57.625 --> 00:02:59.083
Here you go, kid.

00:03:00.416 --> 00:03:02.458
Use your glove.

00:03:20.000 --> 00:03:21.791
It was 1973,

00:03:21.875 --> 00:03:24.500
and after failing
to pay our rent for five months,

00:03:24.583 --> 00:03:28.000
my mom and I had to move
back home to my grandpa's house.

00:03:37.583 --> 00:03:41.125
Home never meant the same thing
to my mother as it did to me.

00:03:41.208 --> 00:03:44.708
To her, it meant failure,
the place you ended up

00:03:44.791 --> 00:03:47.416
when all the things
she was counting on fell through.

00:03:47.500 --> 00:03:51.666
Work, apartment, boyfriend,
not always in that order.

00:03:52.666 --> 00:03:54.833
But I loved it.

00:03:54.916 --> 00:03:58.958
To me, Grandpa's house was
a revolving door of cousins and aunts,

00:03:59.041 --> 00:04:01.791
with a full complement
of laughter and tears

00:04:01.875 --> 00:04:04.125
and an occasional nervous breakdown.

00:04:04.208 --> 00:04:07.625
But above all,
it's where Uncle Charlie lived.

00:04:07.708 --> 00:04:10.916
And when you're 11 years old,
you want an Uncle Charlie.

00:04:11.000 --> 00:04:14.958
Everybody needs to know
the cesspool isn't taking it.

00:04:15.041 --> 00:04:18.583
If you take a leak, take it outside.

00:04:19.666 --> 00:04:21.750
I could use a little help in here.

00:04:23.000 --> 00:04:24.541
I'm not the maid.

00:04:25.666 --> 00:04:26.958
Jesus Christ!

00:04:27.041 --> 00:04:29.833
My father was a radio DJ in New York.

00:04:29.916 --> 00:04:31.791
They called him The Voice.

00:04:31.875 --> 00:04:35.458
He played Top 40 hits,
and he'd talk about the musicians.

00:04:35.541 --> 00:04:37.583
I only met him once,
and I was pretty young,

00:04:37.666 --> 00:04:42.083
so when I could, I'd sneak away
and listen to him on the radio.

00:04:42.166 --> 00:04:45.083
I had to sneak, 'cause after he left us,

00:04:45.166 --> 00:04:49.833
well, let's just say Mom took a pair
of scissors to every picture he was in.

Tomorrow is another day.

00:05:50.041 --> 00:05:52.416
Why does Grandpa say
we should all clear out?

00:05:52.500 --> 00:05:57.041
Because he's a selfish old prick
who resents taking care of his family.

00:05:58.208 --> 00:05:59.791
Like Dad?

00:05:59.875 --> 00:06:01.291
No, honey.

00:06:01.375 --> 00:06:04.166
Grandpa resents taking care of his family.

00:06:04.250 --> 00:06:08.291
Your father has never
taken care of anybody at all.

00:06:10.875 --> 00:06:12.416
Oh.

Hey, now, eat your cereal.

00:06:54.166 --> 00:06:55.791
Okay, two rules.

00:06:55.875 --> 00:06:57.791
I'm never gonna let you win, ever.

00:06:57.875 --> 00:07:00.458
You beat me,
you know you beat me fair and square,

00:07:00.541 --> 00:07:02.333
but I never let you win.

00:07:02.416 --> 00:07:04.208
And I'm gonna always tell you the truth.

00:07:06.166 --> 00:07:08.041
I saw you in the yard playing sports.

00:07:08.125 --> 00:07:09.416
You're not very good.

00:07:09.500 --> 00:07:12.708
And... probably not gonna get
a whole lot better,

00:07:12.791 --> 00:07:17.833
so it might be wise for you,
in order to avoid tears and disappointment

00:07:17.916 --> 00:07:20.750
and, above all, delusion,

00:07:20.833 --> 00:07:22.767
you know, find some other activities
that you like.

00:07:22.791 --> 00:07:25.000
You know, like, uh,
what do you like to do the most?

00:07:25.083 --> 00:07:26.083
I like to read.

00:07:26.166 --> 00:07:28.458
I also like to read.

00:07:28.541 --> 00:07:30.500
I mean, I'm good at sports, too, but...

00:07:30.583 --> 00:07:33.541
So, this thing about the radio.

00:07:33.625 --> 00:07:36.625
You're gonna look
for your father in the radio.

00:07:36.708 --> 00:07:39.541
You think your father is in the radio.

00:07:39.625 --> 00:07:41.666
He's not in the radio.

00:07:41.750 --> 00:07:46.375
He's just an asshole
who happens to be on the radio.

00:07:46.458 --> 00:07:49.041
Don't look for your father to save you.

00:07:51.083 --> 00:07:53.000
And don't play sports.

00:07:53.083 --> 00:07:55.083
That's all I have to say.

00:07:55.166 --> 00:07:56.666
The game is five-card stud.

00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.333
Mom can use some money.

00:08:05.416 --> 00:08:09.541
This is The Voice at 97.1 on your dial.

00:08:09.625 --> 00:08:11.625
She's really tired after work.

00:08:11.708 --> 00:08:14.583
...top ten songs this week, you'll win a Q97

00:08:14.666 --> 00:08:16.625
limited-edition brass belt buckle,

00:08:16.708 --> 00:08:20.125
and you'll be registered to win $500.

00:08:20.208 --> 00:08:22.416
What do you say? The top ten.

00:08:22.500 --> 00:08:25.666
You can't win if you don't play.

00:08:28.125 --> 00:08:30.083
Is this seat taken?

00:08:30.166 --> 00:08:32.416
No.

00:08:47.833 --> 00:08:49.833
Tell your cousin

00:08:49.916 --> 00:08:52.458
I said you can ride the fucking bike.

00:08:52.541 --> 00:08:55.250
It's not his fucking bike anyway.

00:08:55.333 --> 00:08:58.416
It's a house bike.
I took that bike out of the dump

00:08:58.500 --> 00:09:00.416
and fixed it up
for all you little assholes.

00:09:00.500 --> 00:09:01.833
Now they're moving to Colorado.

00:09:01.916 --> 00:09:03.791
It's your bike anyway.

00:09:03.875 --> 00:09:06.583
Oh, Jesus, mother of God.

00:09:06.666 --> 00:09:08.291
How did you get sick?

00:09:08.375 --> 00:09:10.250
I'm not sick.

00:09:10.333 --> 00:09:12.708
It's Saturday morning.

00:09:12.791 --> 00:09:15.541
This is the way it is.

00:09:15.625 --> 00:09:19.541
This is Saturday morning
in the life of men.

00:09:19.625 --> 00:09:21.333
Oh.

00:09:21.416 --> 00:09:23.916
Go around to the bar.
Get me a pack of cigarettes.

00:09:29.166 --> 00:09:31.625
Get that before your grandmother does.

00:09:31.708 --> 00:09:34.375
I'm-I'm not here. Whoever...

00:09:34.458 --> 00:09:36.625
- Hello?
- Hey.

00:09:36.708 --> 00:09:40.500
Now, I know there are a lot
of rug rats running around,

00:09:40.583 --> 00:09:43.458
but I'm wondering if this is JR.

00:09:43.541 --> 00:09:44.791
Dad?

00:09:44.875 --> 00:09:45.916
Huh? What?

00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:47.559
That's right, buddy, if this is JR...

00:09:47.583 --> 00:09:49.541
Give me the fucking phone.

00:09:49.625 --> 00:09:51.559
- ...I'm your father.
- Mom's not here.

00:09:51.583 --> 00:09:53.476
Well, I'm not calling
for your mother, kiddo.

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:54.666
I'm calling for you.

00:09:54.750 --> 00:09:57.208
Hey, uh...

00:09:57.291 --> 00:09:59.791
How would you like to see
a ball game with your old man?

00:09:59.875 --> 00:10:03.125
- Really?
- Sure. Ball game with your old man.

00:10:03.208 --> 00:10:05.000
Mets or Yankees?

00:10:05.083 --> 00:10:06.541
Whatever you like.

00:10:06.625 --> 00:10:08.791
Uncle Charlie says
the Yankees are assholes,

00:10:08.875 --> 00:10:10.791
but the Mets drink at The Dickens.

00:10:11.875 --> 00:10:13.541
How is your Uncle Charlie?

00:10:13.625 --> 00:10:15.208
How are you? He wants to know.

00:10:15.291 --> 00:10:17.125
I'm still short 30 bucks.

00:10:20.750 --> 00:10:23.208
Tell him the Mets play the Braves
tomorrow night.

00:10:23.291 --> 00:10:25.458
Mets play the Braves tomorrow night.

00:10:25.541 --> 00:10:26.916
Doesn't mean he's gonna show up.

00:10:27.000 --> 00:10:28.958
Well, I will tell you what, sport.

00:10:29.041 --> 00:10:30.916
I'll get a couple tickets.

00:10:31.000 --> 00:10:33.333
And I will pick you up
at your grandfather's at 6:30.

00:10:33.416 --> 00:10:34.791
Great. Thank you.

00:10:34.875 --> 00:10:37.083
We got a lot
to catch up on, you and me.

00:10:37.166 --> 00:10:38.291
Okay.

00:10:38.375 --> 00:10:40.166
- Bye, now.
- Bye.

00:10:42.666 --> 00:10:44.291
You gonna get my cigarettes?

00:10:44.375 --> 00:10:45.541
Oh.

00:10:47.166 --> 00:10:49.000
Are you reading this paper?

00:10:49.083 --> 00:10:50.500
- Oh, no.
- Great.

00:10:59.416 --> 00:11:01.708
I... I got an interview at Yale.

00:11:16.708 --> 00:11:18.708
He said to be ready at 6:30.

00:11:18.791 --> 00:11:22.250
I was ready at 4:30 so as not to fuck up.

00:11:22.333 --> 00:11:25.333
You always remember fucking up,
so you don't want to.

00:11:26.833 --> 00:11:30.666
The thing is, that day, I felt like I had.

00:11:30.750 --> 00:11:32.875
That's the thing to remember about a kid.

00:11:32.958 --> 00:11:35.500
The kid always thinks he fucked up.

00:11:36.875 --> 00:11:38.500
I didn't know what he looked like.

00:11:38.583 --> 00:11:42.208
I hadn't been to New York City
to see his face on billboards and buses.

00:11:42.291 --> 00:11:44.708
I couldn't have picked him out of a crowd.

00:11:44.791 --> 00:11:47.916
But I wondered if it was like
a thing you would always know,

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.791
as if you would always know
your father instantly.

00:11:51.875 --> 00:11:53.375
It was possible.

00:12:13.041 --> 00:12:15.458
A little while later,
after being arrested while on air

00:12:15.541 --> 00:12:18.333
for nonpayment of child support,

00:12:18.416 --> 00:12:20.333
The Voice fled the state.

00:12:21.750 --> 00:12:24.291
It was about this same period
that he called up drunk

00:12:24.375 --> 00:12:27.416
and said he put a contract
on my mother's life.

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:29.083
He also threatened to kidnap me,

00:12:29.166 --> 00:12:31.708
but Uncle Charlie thought
this was a less serious threat,

00:12:31.791 --> 00:12:34.333
as kidnapping comes with responsibilities.

00:12:36.833 --> 00:12:38.875
We're the Two Musketeers, right?

00:12:40.500 --> 00:12:41.833
Yeah.

00:12:48.708 --> 00:12:50.708
Let me show you something, okay?

00:12:50.791 --> 00:12:53.666
This is the male sciences, all right?

00:12:53.750 --> 00:12:55.416
You get your drink.

00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:57.208
That goes there.

00:12:57.291 --> 00:12:59.833
Got your pack of butts, right?

00:12:59.916 --> 00:13:01.708
That goes there.

00:13:01.791 --> 00:13:03.833
See that? Look at...
look at this guy right there.

00:13:03.916 --> 00:13:06.333
See how he's putting his money
in his pocket like that?

00:13:06.416 --> 00:13:07.583
- Yeah.
- Never do that.

00:13:07.666 --> 00:13:09.333
That's keeping your money like a drunk.

00:13:09.416 --> 00:13:10.625
It's not correct.

00:13:10.708 --> 00:13:13.125
Know what you also do?

00:13:13.208 --> 00:13:14.958
You take care of your mother.

00:13:15.041 --> 00:13:16.916
All right?

00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:18.458
All right, give me a hand.

00:13:18.541 --> 00:13:21.666
And you take care of,
if you have one, your woman.

00:13:21.750 --> 00:13:23.708
If you drink, you keep your shit together.

00:13:23.791 --> 00:13:25.833
If your shit's not together,
you don't drink.

00:13:25.916 --> 00:13:27.851
Don't be like one of these assholes here
who acts like

00:13:27.875 --> 00:13:29.958
it was Jesus who came down
and made him late for work

00:13:30.041 --> 00:13:31.833
and spend all their money and throw back

00:13:31.916 --> 00:13:34.125
Old Hammerhead with vanilla Coke
for 30 years.

00:13:34.208 --> 00:13:36.791
You know what I'm saying?
It's about being a man.

00:13:36.875 --> 00:13:39.708
Get your drink. You get your butts.

00:13:39.791 --> 00:13:43.375
Don't carry your money like a drunk.
Oh, and, uh...

00:13:43.458 --> 00:13:46.333
See this? This little compartment
in your wallet, right?

00:13:46.416 --> 00:13:48.666
That's where you keep your stashies.

00:13:48.750 --> 00:13:51.208
That's like a hundred bucks,
five, whatever,

00:13:51.291 --> 00:13:53.250
depending on the economy.

00:13:53.333 --> 00:13:57.500
Important thing is you never,
ever drink that money, right?

00:13:57.583 --> 00:13:59.500
What else? Hold doors.

00:13:59.583 --> 00:14:01.083
Be good to your mother.

00:14:01.166 --> 00:14:03.375
Teach you how to change a tire,
jump a car.

00:14:03.458 --> 00:14:04.750
You know, that's it.

00:14:04.833 --> 00:14:07.767
Change a tire, jump a car, take care
of your mother, don't drink your stashies.

00:14:07.791 --> 00:14:11.000
Oh, one more thing... very important.

00:14:11.083 --> 00:14:14.250
Never under any circumstances hit a woman,

00:14:14.333 --> 00:14:16.791
even if she stabs you with scissors.

00:14:16.875 --> 00:14:17.916
Got it.

00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:20.708
That's it. Male sciences. Right.

00:14:22.041 --> 00:14:23.708
Can people read those books?

00:14:23.791 --> 00:14:25.875
Can they read...

00:14:25.958 --> 00:14:27.583
What are you, soft?

00:14:27.666 --> 00:14:29.041
No, I mean, can I read them?

00:14:29.125 --> 00:14:30.416
What's the name of this place?

00:14:30.500 --> 00:14:31.750
The Dickens.

00:14:31.833 --> 00:14:33.666
That's right.

00:14:35.000 --> 00:14:37.458
Charles Dickens. You know who that is?

00:14:37.541 --> 00:14:39.083
The owner?

00:14:40.166 --> 00:14:42.267
Yes, you can read 'em.
You can read as many as you like.

00:14:42.291 --> 00:14:43.892
Take 'em in the poker room. Read 'em all.

00:14:43.916 --> 00:14:45.541
Fill yourself up.

00:14:45.625 --> 00:14:47.458
And you know what might happen?

00:14:47.541 --> 00:14:51.166
If you read enough books,
maybe, if you're lucky,

00:14:51.250 --> 00:14:53.458
you could become a writer.

00:14:54.791 --> 00:14:56.541
And that was it.

00:14:56.625 --> 00:15:00.083
From that moment on,
I wanted to be a writer.

who earns 30 bucks a day.

00:16:09.416 --> 00:16:13.083

Well, there's a very big difference
if it is being concealed from him

00:22:32.291 --> 00:22:34.666
that he's a junior
because there is no senior in his life.

00:22:34.750 --> 00:22:37.070

have occurred to him until you just

on the subject to him right to his face.

00:22:41.041 --> 00:22:45.291
It is my belief that the uncertainty
about the meaning of his name

00:22:45.375 --> 00:22:48.541

have left him without identity.

00:22:48.625 --> 00:22:52.500

No identity, hence identity crisis.

00:23:03.791 --> 00:23:06.791
I'm curious because
you seem very interested

00:23:06.875 --> 00:23:08.958
in his father and his absence,

00:23:09.041 --> 00:23:11.666
and you cast it
in this very negative light

00:23:11.750 --> 00:23:15.000
and bring the kid in here
and you're traumatizing him.

00:23:15.083 --> 00:23:18.500
We both know you're calling his mother up
and asking her out on dates.

00:23:22.000 --> 00:23:23.750
Um, that's...

00:23:23.833 --> 00:23:25.833
So you're willing to traumatize
a little kid

00:23:25.916 --> 00:23:27.875
in order to hit on his mother?

00:23:30.416 --> 00:23:33.291
Uncle Charlie never had
the money to go to college.

00:23:33.375 --> 00:23:35.083
He was self-taught.

00:23:35.166 --> 00:23:39.041
But that didn't mean some dime-store
fifth-grade shrink could go toe to toe.

00:23:47.541 --> 00:23:50.291
The Family Gazette.

00:23:52.833 --> 00:23:55.000
This is great, JR.

00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:20.291
Okay.

00:24:20.375 --> 00:24:22.208
Here it is.

00:24:22.291 --> 00:24:25.041
Lose the drawings. Just get rid of 'em.

00:24:25.125 --> 00:24:27.750
I know a lot of guys
that think they're writers,

00:24:27.833 --> 00:24:30.500
and you'll find in life
that most of them are not.

00:24:31.833 --> 00:24:33.458
Here's the thing.

00:24:33.541 --> 00:24:35.833
You got to have "it."

00:24:35.916 --> 00:24:40.458
I don't know what it is,
but if you don't have it immediately...

00:24:42.125 --> 00:24:43.916
...you never get it.

00:24:50.041 --> 00:24:51.666
And I say you got it.

00:24:51.750 --> 00:24:54.166
Oh. I knew it.

00:24:54.250 --> 00:24:55.541
Oh, I knew it! I knew it.

00:24:55.625 --> 00:24:57.750
There's-there's... there's something.

00:24:57.833 --> 00:24:59.708
Calm down. I didn't say you were good.

00:24:59.791 --> 00:25:02.000
I said, you know, you could be.

00:25:02.083 --> 00:25:04.083
Come here. Come with me.

00:25:06.583 --> 00:25:10.250
Now, what you do is you read all of those.

00:25:11.708 --> 00:25:14.708
Now, I don't want to talk to you
unless you read all those.

00:25:14.791 --> 00:25:17.250
I also don't want to talk to you
about all those.

00:25:25.500 --> 00:25:27.625
So, Yale interview?

00:25:27.708 --> 00:25:29.583
Yeah.

00:25:30.666 --> 00:25:32.833
Your mother must be thrilled.

00:25:34.791 --> 00:25:37.500
Yeah, you know, it's all she ever wanted.

00:25:37.583 --> 00:25:41.416
In my official capacity,
I have to say, is the only thing

00:25:41.500 --> 00:25:43.875
to concentrate on in this world

00:25:43.958 --> 00:25:47.125
is the desire to see
the face of God the Father.

00:25:48.500 --> 00:25:49.750
Right.

00:25:49.833 --> 00:25:52.375
However, the Church is on her last legs.

00:25:52.458 --> 00:25:55.375
Three people come to my mass.

00:25:56.625 --> 00:25:59.541
I had four, but Mrs. Cafferty took a fall

00:25:59.625 --> 00:26:02.291
because she didn't have a good son.

00:26:03.500 --> 00:26:05.000
Be a good son.

00:26:06.791 --> 00:26:08.583
That's why I'm going to the interview.

00:26:08.666 --> 00:26:12.083
Now, tell me, when was the last time
you made a good confession?

00:26:14.333 --> 00:26:15.958
Not in my Yale essay.

00:26:16.041 --> 00:26:18.000
Well, you want to get in.

00:26:18.083 --> 00:26:20.166
Right.

00:26:22.333 --> 00:26:23.958
Hey. Whose kid is that?

00:26:24.041 --> 00:26:25.958
My sister's.

00:26:26.041 --> 00:26:28.291
Which sister?
The hot one or the crazy one?

00:26:28.375 --> 00:26:30.500

You know, I got a feeling that, uh,
you had a reason to come down here.

00:26:45.791 --> 00:26:47.226
You didn't just come down here
to come here.

What is it, JR?

00:28:12.958 --> 00:28:14.416
I don't have a father.

00:28:15.500 --> 00:28:18.083
Oh. Did he pass on?

00:28:18.166 --> 00:28:19.791
I don't know. Maybe.

00:28:19.875 --> 00:28:21.541
I just don't have one.

00:28:21.625 --> 00:28:22.958
"Passing on" means dead.

00:28:23.041 --> 00:28:24.916
Oh. No, he's not dead.

00:28:25.000 --> 00:28:26.458
He's on the radio.

00:28:26.541 --> 00:28:29.250
Can I just not come to the breakfast?

00:28:30.291 --> 00:28:32.208
You know what, I'm gonna call your mother.

00:28:32.291 --> 00:28:34.708
- Okay.
- Okay.

Don't they know
the way the world is today?

00:28:37.291 --> 00:28:40.958
It's hard to tell people
about your father, JR, because...

00:28:41.041 --> 00:28:43.208
it's hard to know where to begin.

00:28:43.291 --> 00:28:45.083
Maybe the police can make him go?

00:28:45.166 --> 00:28:48.708

- "Super Cooper."

- Just open it.
- Ma, you open it.

00:40:04.125 --> 00:40:05.434
- No.
- That's a call right there.

00:43:45.125 --> 00:43:47.250
Not in your own worst impulses

00:43:47.333 --> 00:43:49.625

00:43:49.708 --> 00:43:53.041

00:43:53.125 --> 00:43:55.375

00:43:57.166 --> 00:44:01.500
For the time being, in this class,
though I beat against barbarous current,

00:44:01.583 --> 00:44:03.958
I still teach Western literature,

00:44:04.041 --> 00:44:09.291
in which everything derives
from two epic poems,

00:44:09.375 --> 00:44:12.291
the Iliad and the Odyssey,

00:44:12.375 --> 00:44:15.833
handily contained for you in one book,

00:44:15.916 --> 00:44:18.750
edited and translated by me.

00:44:20.291 --> 00:44:24.041
The Iliad and the Odyssey
are the two seedlings,

00:44:24.125 --> 00:44:27.416
the "poyims" 3,000 years old...

00:44:27.500 --> 00:44:28.958
What's a "poyim"?

00:44:29.041 --> 00:44:31.041
Somebody who's not Jewish.

00:44:31.125 --> 00:44:33.208
The Iliad and the Odyssey are universal.

00:44:33.291 --> 00:44:35.958
They are stories about going home.

00:44:37.291 --> 00:44:40.541
You will start by reading half the Iliad

00:44:40.625 --> 00:44:42.916
and write me a ten-page paper.

00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:45.375
Any questions? Yes.

00:44:45.458 --> 00:44:47.541
Uh, a paper on what?

00:44:47.625 --> 00:44:49.333
The first half of the Iliad.

00:44:50.375 --> 00:44:52.041
No, right, but on what subject?

00:44:52.125 --> 00:44:55.375
The first half of the Iliad.

00:44:56.708 --> 00:44:58.791
He's throwing down.

00:44:58.875 --> 00:45:02.583
Now, as some of you hopefully may know,

00:45:02.666 --> 00:45:06.791
the Iliad is an ancient Greek epic poem
in dactylic hexameter...

00:45:06.875 --> 00:45:08.000
- Hey.
- Hmm?

00:45:08.083 --> 00:45:09.375
- Who is that?
- Who?

00:45:09.458 --> 00:45:10.791
In the purple.

00:45:11.875 --> 00:45:14.000
- Ah. She goes out with Stinky.
- Stinky?

00:45:14.083 --> 00:45:15.416
Yeah, he's wealthy.

00:45:15.500 --> 00:45:17.958
...grand style
of Western classical poetry.

00:45:18.041 --> 00:45:21.375
So take note of these
and other examples of its use

00:45:21.458 --> 00:45:23.958
as you make your way through the text.

00:45:24.041 --> 00:45:25.458
Ovid's Metamorphos...

00:45:28.583 --> 00:45:30.958
Because everything I see is unattainable.

00:45:31.041 --> 00:45:33.000
That's because you're probably
being a pussy.

00:45:33.083 --> 00:45:34.767
Well, if you're made to read
the greatest things ever written,

00:45:34.791 --> 00:45:36.351
that you couldn't do,
and make you feel like shit,

00:45:36.375 --> 00:45:37.976
then how are you supposed
to become a writer?

00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:40.351
Socrates says you learn more
from a bad book than a good one.

00:45:40.375 --> 00:45:42.958
Aristotle. I think.

00:45:43.041 --> 00:45:45.416
If you go to Yale
but you don't have any balls,

00:45:45.500 --> 00:45:47.333
how are you supposed
to be a student at Yale?

00:45:47.416 --> 00:45:50.041
I'm just here on a lucky break.
It's just a lucky break.

00:45:50.125 --> 00:45:52.750
I mean, I can do Wordy Gurdy all day long,

00:45:52.833 --> 00:45:56.125
but I cannot figure out what the fuck
they are saying in Henry V.

00:45:56.208 --> 00:45:58.958
We're all here on a lucky break,
douchebag.

00:45:59.041 --> 00:46:01.791
I'm Lucky Sperm Club, and no one's
ever noticed that I'm an idiot.

00:46:01.875 --> 00:46:03.500
It's also luck. Everybody's lucky.

00:46:03.583 --> 00:46:06.250
Everybody alive is lucky

00:46:06.333 --> 00:46:08.041
and were descended from the lucky.

00:46:08.125 --> 00:46:10.833
Our ancestors were all either fast, smart

00:46:10.916 --> 00:46:13.333
or had really fucking good immune systems.

00:46:13.416 --> 00:46:16.750
Luck, asshole... it's why we're all here.

00:46:17.750 --> 00:46:20.208
Hmm. I never thought about it like that.

00:46:20.291 --> 00:46:23.083
You see, you're believing
in society's bullshit interpretation

00:46:23.166 --> 00:46:26.416
of you and everything else,
and that is why you can't write.

00:46:26.500 --> 00:46:28.583
Not because Homer
makes you think you suck.

00:46:30.583 --> 00:46:32.625
I'd really like for you
to meet my Uncle Charlie.

00:46:32.708 --> 00:46:35.000
What's he do?

00:46:35.083 --> 00:46:37.333
He runs a bar.

00:46:37.416 --> 00:46:39.416
I would really like to meet
your Uncle Charlie.

00:46:46.916 --> 00:46:49.291
You got your I.D.'s, right?

00:46:49.375 --> 00:46:52.583
Hey! The fuck are you guys doing here?

00:46:54.833 --> 00:46:57.750
Jesus Christ.

00:46:59.583 --> 00:47:01.583
What about these rejects?

00:47:02.833 --> 00:47:05.333
Hmm. Okay.

00:47:05.416 --> 00:47:07.666
Well, welcome to our shores, Jim.

00:47:07.750 --> 00:47:09.666
Hey, I got an announcement.

00:47:09.750 --> 00:47:11.416
Everybody,

00:47:11.500 --> 00:47:14.541
according to the laws
of the sovereign state of New York,

00:47:14.625 --> 00:47:16.708
today, my nephew is officially a man.

00:47:16.791 --> 00:47:18.750
And so are his friends legally men.

00:47:18.833 --> 00:47:21.250
- The law is fucked!
- Get these assholes a drink on me.

00:47:21.333 --> 00:47:23.500
Fuck you. First one is mine.

00:47:23.583 --> 00:47:25.083
Mine.

00:47:25.166 --> 00:47:26.833
Then you guys are backed up on Joey D.

00:47:26.916 --> 00:47:29.208
- What do you want?
- Wow. Uh...

00:47:29.291 --> 00:47:31.750
Well, I don't even know what to have.

00:47:31.833 --> 00:47:34.166
I think a Yale man
should drink gin myself,

00:47:34.250 --> 00:47:36.291
but... big decision, Chief.

00:47:36.375 --> 00:47:38.583
Whatever you assholes choose now
is what I'm gonna pour

00:47:38.666 --> 00:47:41.000
every time you walk in the door... forever.

00:47:42.083 --> 00:47:44.125
But you got to have a drink... your drink.

00:47:44.208 --> 00:47:45.833
Gin makes me crazy.

00:47:45.916 --> 00:47:47.596
We can handle that.
We can handle anything.

00:47:47.625 --> 00:47:49.291
I make an excellent gin martini.

00:47:49.375 --> 00:47:51.083
The secret is a few drops of Scotch.

00:47:51.166 --> 00:47:52.875
Come on, Chaz, back 'em up on me.

00:47:52.958 --> 00:47:54.750
Back 'em up on me, too, Charlie.

00:47:54.833 --> 00:47:59.000
Goodness. Evidently, tonight, you guys
are backed up on Chief and Joey D.

00:47:59.083 --> 00:48:00.958
Fasten your fucking seat belt.

00:48:05.375 --> 00:48:06.583
So you went to war?

00:48:06.666 --> 00:48:08.000
'Nam, Second Division.

00:48:08.083 --> 00:48:10.375
Quang Tri, '67 to '69.

00:48:10.458 --> 00:48:13.041
You little fuckers
will never know such things.

00:48:13.125 --> 00:48:17.625
All props to the 82nd, but your little
fucking airdrop on Grenada is not a war.

00:48:17.708 --> 00:48:20.548
- We didn't airdrop on Grenada.
- How long were you in the Army?

00:48:20.583 --> 00:48:22.708
One year, seven months, five days.

00:48:22.791 --> 00:48:24.000
How long were you in Vietnam?

00:48:24.083 --> 00:48:25.208
11 months, 12 days.

00:48:25.291 --> 00:48:27.916
Chaz says you're insecure at Yale.

00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:29.708
Nah. No.

00:48:29.791 --> 00:48:32.375
Well, hey, it's the same as prison.

00:48:32.458 --> 00:48:34.166
Anywhere is the same as prison.

00:48:34.250 --> 00:48:36.833
You need to find the main guy,
who's a problem,

00:48:36.916 --> 00:48:38.375
and you rip his fucking lungs out.

00:48:38.458 --> 00:48:40.375
The fuck you telling the kid that for?

00:48:40.458 --> 00:48:42.875
- That's it.
- He's going to Yale, not Rahway.

00:48:44.083 --> 00:48:48.041
You know, Uncle Charlie is, like,
your old man, basically.

00:48:48.125 --> 00:48:50.333
No, he's my Uncle Charlie.

00:48:50.416 --> 00:48:52.458
My old man's in a radio.

00:48:52.541 --> 00:48:54.375
Your old man's in a radio?

00:49:00.083 --> 00:49:02.291
What are you reading this weekend?

00:49:02.375 --> 00:49:03.916
Aquinas.

00:49:04.000 --> 00:49:06.708
Oh, Jesus Christ.

00:49:06.791 --> 00:49:08.916
What? Thomas Aquinas.

00:49:09.000 --> 00:49:13.250
Needed to believe there was a God,
so he offered the world concrete proof.

00:49:13.333 --> 00:49:17.250
If you didn't believe his concrete proof,
the Church would cut your nuts off.

00:49:17.333 --> 00:49:19.017
- What are you worried about?
- I don't wanna.

00:49:19.041 --> 00:49:20.541
You don't wanna.

00:49:20.625 --> 00:49:22.375
This is when you push.

00:49:22.458 --> 00:49:23.833
Right now.

00:49:23.916 --> 00:49:25.500
This is when you bet it all.

00:49:25.583 --> 00:49:27.125
When you got nothing.

00:49:28.958 --> 00:49:31.166
All right, fuck this.

00:49:32.250 --> 00:49:35.041
Read Orwell
on the lower-upper-middle classes.

00:49:35.125 --> 00:49:37.541
They're the ones who really suck.

00:49:37.625 --> 00:49:41.250
Once you understand that,
you can operate in America.

00:49:41.333 --> 00:49:43.375
If you also have a car.

00:49:47.125 --> 00:49:48.958
Spent all of last summer in Europe.

00:49:49.041 --> 00:49:51.625
Italy. Jesus, Venice.
You ever been to Venice?

00:49:51.708 --> 00:49:53.041
No.

00:49:53.125 --> 00:49:56.916
Most illogical city
I have ever seen in my life.

00:49:57.000 --> 00:49:59.875
The cab is a boat.
The garbage truck is a boat.

00:49:59.958 --> 00:50:01.708
Not one bit of it makes any sense.

00:50:01.791 --> 00:50:03.291
So how'd you end up in Venice?

00:50:03.375 --> 00:50:05.041
Studied hard. I got good grades.

00:50:05.125 --> 00:50:06.916
My old man said, "Pick a city."

00:50:07.000 --> 00:50:08.750
So, my brother used to make me go with him

00:50:08.833 --> 00:50:10.392
and watch Don't Look Now
with Donald Sutherland.

00:50:10.416 --> 00:50:11.958
Jesus. How old were you?

00:50:12.041 --> 00:50:13.583
That movie made a man out of me.

00:50:13.666 --> 00:50:15.041
But it took place in Venice.

00:50:15.125 --> 00:50:16.375
First movie was The Exorcist.

00:50:16.458 --> 00:50:18.333
My brother had a hard-on
for Julie Christie.

00:50:18.416 --> 00:50:20.500
Anyway, long story short, I picked Venice.

00:50:20.583 --> 00:50:22.166
Three weeks turns into three months.

00:50:22.250 --> 00:50:24.541
And The Exorcist scared the fuck
out of me, by the way.

00:50:24.625 --> 00:50:27.309
- The moral of the story is...
- Right, right. The moral of the story is

00:50:27.333 --> 00:50:29.708
do well in school,
and you get to see Italy.

00:50:29.791 --> 00:50:31.875
Sidney.

00:50:31.958 --> 00:50:33.416
Hi.

00:50:33.500 --> 00:50:36.666
- Hi.
- How are you? Uh, is Stinky in there?

00:50:36.750 --> 00:50:38.708
I don't know where Alex is.

00:50:38.791 --> 00:50:40.458
I don't see much of him.

00:50:40.541 --> 00:50:41.583
Hey. JR.

00:50:41.666 --> 00:50:43.791
- Sidney.
- Hey.

00:50:43.875 --> 00:50:45.416
You're in my class.

00:50:45.500 --> 00:50:47.125
I doubt it.

00:50:48.541 --> 00:50:51.416
So, uh, how's your Iliad?

00:50:51.500 --> 00:50:54.250
Oh.

00:50:54.333 --> 00:50:56.125
- My Iliad's fine.
- Yeah?

00:50:56.208 --> 00:50:57.791
Yeah. How's yours?

00:50:57.875 --> 00:51:00.833
My Iliad is just getting better and better
as the evening progresses.

00:51:00.916 --> 00:51:02.125
- Is that so?
- Yeah.

00:51:06.791 --> 00:51:08.208
How-how was the party?

00:51:08.291 --> 00:51:10.000
Um, not great.

00:51:10.083 --> 00:51:11.208
- No?
- No.

00:51:11.291 --> 00:51:12.375
Where you headed?

00:51:13.458 --> 00:51:15.125
Walking home.

00:51:15.208 --> 00:51:17.208
I'll walk you.

00:51:19.041 --> 00:51:20.541
Okay.

00:51:20.625 --> 00:51:22.291
♪ You silly fool ♪

00:51:22.375 --> 00:51:24.958
♪ You can't change your fate ♪

00:51:25.041 --> 00:51:29.416
♪ Let's cut a rug,
a little jive and jitterbug ♪

00:51:29.500 --> 00:51:33.708
♪ We want the best,
we won't settle for less ♪

00:51:33.791 --> 00:51:36.541
♪ Don't be a drag, participate... ♪

00:51:38.333 --> 00:51:40.291
So, what does JR stand for?

00:51:41.458 --> 00:51:43.375
It's a complicated thing.

00:51:43.458 --> 00:51:46.041
I'll tell you when I know you better.

00:51:46.125 --> 00:51:47.750
Is there trauma?

00:51:49.250 --> 00:51:50.708
Yes.

00:51:52.166 --> 00:51:53.875
Father-based?

00:51:56.000 --> 00:51:58.291
I'm named after my father.

00:51:58.375 --> 00:52:00.583
But I've only seen him a couple of times.

00:52:00.666 --> 00:52:03.958
He was always on the radio, in New York.

00:52:04.041 --> 00:52:09.375
He was Johnny Ace
or Johnny Michaels on the radio.

00:52:11.625 --> 00:52:13.541
Are you in search for your father?

00:52:15.458 --> 00:52:18.125
No, I'm not.

00:52:18.208 --> 00:52:20.916
If you have a father complex,
it's kind of a red flag.

00:52:22.458 --> 00:52:25.500
Women with father complexes
tend to eat a lot,

00:52:25.583 --> 00:52:29.500
but men get really fucked-up.

00:52:29.583 --> 00:52:31.416
I don't have a father complex.

00:52:31.500 --> 00:52:33.125
He's just a guy on the radio.

00:52:33.208 --> 00:52:34.833
That's a relief.

00:52:38.666 --> 00:52:40.583
So, what do you want to be, JR?

00:52:41.791 --> 00:52:43.916
Other than an emotional mess.

00:52:44.000 --> 00:52:46.166
- Oh. Other than that?
- Mm-hmm.

00:52:47.625 --> 00:52:50.083
I want to be a writer.

00:52:50.166 --> 00:52:51.833
I'm going to be a writer.

00:52:53.041 --> 00:52:55.041
Why a writer?

00:52:55.125 --> 00:52:57.083
Ever since I was a kid, I've just...

00:52:57.166 --> 00:52:59.375
I love to read everything
I could get my hands on.

00:52:59.458 --> 00:53:01.541
Every great writer, every great book.

00:53:01.625 --> 00:53:03.416
I got into Yale to be a lawyer.

00:53:05.666 --> 00:53:07.666
You don't look like a lawyer.

00:53:09.416 --> 00:53:11.041
I'll take that as a compliment.

00:53:11.125 --> 00:53:13.208
You do that.

00:53:18.291 --> 00:53:20.000
This is me.

00:53:24.291 --> 00:53:27.000
You want to study together tomorrow?

00:53:28.250 --> 00:53:29.875
Okay.

00:53:30.958 --> 00:53:32.375
Okay.

00:53:34.916 --> 00:53:36.916
Good night, JR.

00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:38.583
Good night.

00:54:08.833 --> 00:54:10.833
So you think you're in love?

00:54:12.458 --> 00:54:15.166
Yeah. I think I'm in love.

00:54:15.250 --> 00:54:16.791
She's a lucky girl.

00:54:16.875 --> 00:54:18.708
I don't know about that.

00:54:20.083 --> 00:54:23.291
- You being careful?
- Jesus, Mom. Fuck.

00:54:23.375 --> 00:54:25.500
She's clever. She's perceptive.

00:54:25.583 --> 00:54:27.166
Perceptive about what?

00:54:27.250 --> 00:54:28.666
Never mind.

00:54:28.750 --> 00:54:30.208
What, she's rich?

00:54:30.291 --> 00:54:32.958
Probably lower-upper-middle class.

00:54:33.041 --> 00:54:35.059
- That's my boy.
- I don't know what that means.

00:54:35.083 --> 00:54:36.875
"Lower-middle-upper."

00:54:36.958 --> 00:54:39.000
It means the people
who think they're rich.

00:54:39.083 --> 00:54:40.500
The actual rich, you never see.

00:54:40.583 --> 00:54:42.458
They hide so people won't kill them.

00:54:42.541 --> 00:54:45.208
I mean, I just feel like
Sidney's so up here

00:54:45.291 --> 00:54:47.083
and I'm so down here.

00:54:47.166 --> 00:54:48.916
No, you have so much to offer her.

00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:51.583
No money, no idea what it is I want to do.

00:54:51.666 --> 00:54:53.750
Besides being a lawyer
and suing my father.

00:54:53.833 --> 00:54:56.333
What? That's not why
I want you to be a lawyer.

00:54:56.416 --> 00:54:58.791
That would be pathological, JR.

00:54:58.875 --> 00:55:02.375
It's not the worst thing if the man
puts the woman on a slight pedestal.

00:55:02.458 --> 00:55:03.625
Very slight.

00:55:03.708 --> 00:55:05.875
Falling in love is a blessing.
Try to enjoy it.

00:55:05.958 --> 00:55:08.875
If you get your heart broken, you'll live.

00:55:11.041 --> 00:55:12.750
Ma, I have to ask you something.

00:55:12.833 --> 00:55:14.375
What?

00:55:18.541 --> 00:55:21.291
I need to go to Sidney's for Christmas.

00:56:23.666 --> 00:56:26.791
- What?
- What?

00:56:26.875 --> 00:56:30.458
It's Christmas in Connecticut,
with a Volvo.

00:56:32.625 --> 00:56:34.666
I'm never gonna train you out of it, am I?

00:56:34.750 --> 00:56:36.916
Train me out of what?

00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:39.875
Thinking things are more
than what they are.

00:56:42.916 --> 00:56:45.666
- You ever been to Westport?
- No.

00:56:48.625 --> 00:56:50.458
You ever fucked in a Volvo?

00:56:54.583 --> 00:56:58.083
There wasn't a thing
Sidney wouldn't do or try.

00:56:59.375 --> 00:57:01.583
She taught me about love,

00:57:01.666 --> 00:57:04.833
and that semester just flew by
for both of us.

00:57:04.916 --> 00:57:06.416
I wasn't naive.

00:57:06.500 --> 00:57:10.375
I knew that my first great love
probably wouldn't be my last.

00:57:10.458 --> 00:57:14.083
But there was something about her,
something different,

00:57:14.166 --> 00:57:16.291
something that gave me hope.

- No.

00:57:51.250 --> 00:57:52.958

Morning.

00:58:16.916 --> 00:58:18.875
So, my parents...

00:58:20.000 --> 00:58:21.416
They already heard you.

00:58:21.500 --> 00:58:23.708
Uh-oh.

00:58:23.791 --> 00:58:25.333
They want to meet you.

00:58:34.875 --> 00:58:36.875
I think I should take you to the train.

00:58:37.958 --> 00:58:39.250
Why?

00:58:39.333 --> 00:58:42.208
It's very complicated.

00:58:42.291 --> 00:58:44.208
I'm feeling weird.

00:58:45.291 --> 00:58:47.500
I'm sorry I brought you for Christmas.

00:58:52.791 --> 00:58:54.708
I think I'm seeing someone else.

00:59:02.958 --> 00:59:04.583
I'll see you downstairs.

00:59:26.125 --> 00:59:28.375
Do you like scones, JR?

00:59:28.458 --> 00:59:30.333
Oh, I love scones, sir.

00:59:30.416 --> 00:59:33.083
- Call me Phil.
- Thanks, Phil.

00:59:33.166 --> 00:59:37.083
Since you can call him Phil,
I suppose you can call me Mrs. Lawson.

00:59:50.416 --> 00:59:51.500
Mmm.

00:59:58.416 --> 01:00:01.625
Well, Sidney tells me... Excuse me.

01:00:01.708 --> 01:00:03.708
So, Sidney...

01:00:03.791 --> 01:00:06.875
Sidney tells me you're both architects.

01:00:06.958 --> 01:00:09.791
Some people build houses.
We build dwellings.

01:00:09.875 --> 01:00:12.583
What's the difference except the word?

01:00:12.666 --> 01:00:15.958
I mean, I just failed an English exam,
but a house is a dwelling

01:00:16.041 --> 01:00:18.583
unless it's a cave,
and a dwelling is a house...

01:00:18.666 --> 01:00:21.291
They also run the magazine Dwellings.

01:00:21.375 --> 01:00:23.083
What?

01:00:23.166 --> 01:00:24.916
The magazine called Dwellings.

01:00:29.125 --> 01:00:30.458
Oh.

01:00:30.541 --> 01:00:32.416
I don't think you should dwell on it.

01:00:32.500 --> 01:00:34.708
No.

01:00:36.166 --> 01:00:38.291
I understand you have an absconded father

01:00:38.375 --> 01:00:41.583
who's nothing more to you
than a voice on the radio.

01:00:43.958 --> 01:00:45.958
Yeah, pretty much.

01:00:46.041 --> 01:00:48.666
Are you in psychotherapy?
I should think you would be.

01:00:48.750 --> 01:00:50.583
No psychotherapy, no.

01:00:50.666 --> 01:00:52.291
Surprisingly.

01:00:57.000 --> 01:00:58.750
What does your mother do, JR?

01:01:05.250 --> 01:01:08.625
She dwells in Manhasset,

01:01:08.708 --> 01:01:11.875
in a house with her parents,
who are both kind of nuts.

01:01:11.958 --> 01:01:13.916
And she's a secretary.

01:01:15.000 --> 01:01:19.791
And one of the things she always
loved to do was ride around

01:01:19.875 --> 01:01:21.916
looking at houses like this one

01:01:22.000 --> 01:01:25.208
and wonder what life must be like in them.

01:01:25.291 --> 01:01:27.291
Now I can tell her.

01:01:27.375 --> 01:01:29.458
Please do.

01:01:30.583 --> 01:01:32.583
I will.

01:01:33.666 --> 01:01:35.000
What do you study?

01:01:38.291 --> 01:01:41.041
You know, Phil, I study people.

01:01:41.125 --> 01:01:43.291
I think I've always studied people.

01:01:43.375 --> 01:01:45.875
And this is great.

01:01:45.958 --> 01:01:47.791
JR is a writer.

01:01:47.875 --> 01:01:49.833
I mean, what do you study at Yale?

01:01:50.916 --> 01:01:53.333
Usual fucking bullshit.
My mother wants me to be a lawyer.

01:01:53.416 --> 01:01:57.125
She sounds like a very intelligent woman,
if a trifle optimistic.

01:02:07.041 --> 01:02:08.958
Phil, you ever fucked in a Volvo?

01:02:14.250 --> 01:02:17.000
And that was it... dumped in Connecticut.

01:02:19.250 --> 01:02:24.125
I'd spend the next two years just focusing
on making something of myself.

01:02:24.208 --> 01:02:26.416
Being somebody.

01:02:26.500 --> 01:02:28.791

Look who it is. Sit down there.

01:03:52.791 --> 01:03:54.833
My senior year was gonna be epic.

01:03:54.916 --> 01:03:58.041
Writing for the paper, working at the bar.

01:03:58.125 --> 01:03:59.875
This was gonna be my year.

01:03:59.958 --> 01:04:01.791
I didn't need Sidney.

01:04:01.875 --> 01:04:03.708
In fact, fuck Sidney.

01:04:04.750 --> 01:04:06.500
Are you any good at writing?

01:04:06.583 --> 01:04:09.916
I fear that sometimes
the question is too little asked.

01:04:11.000 --> 01:04:12.625
I don't know.

01:04:12.708 --> 01:04:14.333
I have stuff in the Yale paper.

01:04:14.416 --> 01:04:16.125
A lot of people don't.

01:04:16.208 --> 01:04:17.583
Lot of people do.

01:04:20.041 --> 01:04:22.125
I always love to see you on this train.

01:04:23.208 --> 01:04:24.750
What's your main trouble?

01:04:24.833 --> 01:04:26.791
I'm just a poor boy who wants a rich girl.

01:04:28.541 --> 01:04:29.708
That's been done.

01:04:29.791 --> 01:04:31.208
She's not really rich.

01:04:31.291 --> 01:04:33.625
She's lower-upper-middle.

01:04:33.708 --> 01:04:36.708
Well, you never see the real rich.
They're invisible.

01:04:38.041 --> 01:04:40.791
Do you have plans in your head
to make something of yourself,

01:04:40.875 --> 01:04:42.708
go and sweep her away?

01:04:45.708 --> 01:04:47.125
Maybe.

01:04:47.208 --> 01:04:49.625
If she loved you, she'd take you poor.

01:04:51.208 --> 01:04:52.625
Heard it here first.

01:04:54.083 --> 01:04:56.041
I've heard it from someone else.

01:04:56.125 --> 01:04:59.208
Also, the Gatsby thing, you know?

01:05:00.333 --> 01:05:03.458
Well, what's your main theme?
Since it isn't really that one.

01:05:03.541 --> 01:05:07.000
The absent father. You know that one?

01:05:08.083 --> 01:05:11.125
Sure, how else do you think
people become priests?

01:05:41.375 --> 01:05:43.208
You know, you really had me going.

01:05:43.291 --> 01:05:45.208
About what?

01:05:45.291 --> 01:05:50.000
Well, for the past year...
year and a half, frankly...

01:05:50.083 --> 01:05:52.416
it's... my life's been hell.

01:05:53.625 --> 01:05:55.500
About me?

01:05:55.583 --> 01:05:57.291
Yes, about you.

01:05:58.291 --> 01:06:00.166
What do you want from me?

01:06:01.333 --> 01:06:03.958
Well, we're seniors.

01:06:06.291 --> 01:06:07.958
I'm getting agita.

01:06:08.041 --> 01:06:12.041
Is agita the root of agitation?

01:06:12.125 --> 01:06:14.458
No. Men who want things are.

01:06:14.541 --> 01:06:18.083
You know, I think you think
I want something that I'm not thinking.

01:06:22.000 --> 01:06:24.166
Unless you want me to think it.

01:06:25.583 --> 01:06:27.416
I'm seeing someone.

01:06:29.500 --> 01:06:31.541
You got to be fucking kidding me.

01:06:32.625 --> 01:06:35.958
I can't explain it, really,
why I kept going back.

01:06:36.041 --> 01:06:38.500
She just had my number.

01:06:38.583 --> 01:06:42.000
All right,
so she gets agita, whatever that is.

01:06:42.083 --> 01:06:44.125
It's Yiddish for "nerves."

01:06:44.208 --> 01:06:47.750
All right, so she gets that
and she needs her space

01:06:47.833 --> 01:06:50.750
and her time and all that, right?

01:06:50.833 --> 01:06:52.958
So I have a question for you.

01:06:54.250 --> 01:06:56.250
What do you need?

01:06:58.708 --> 01:07:01.458
Look, I'm not a genius.
It's an obvious question.

01:07:01.541 --> 01:07:04.791
What do I want?
I want to be a writer, but I suck.

01:07:04.875 --> 01:07:07.583
Well, when you suck at writing,
that's when you become a journalist.

01:07:07.666 --> 01:07:09.333
I'm not going to law school.

01:07:09.416 --> 01:07:11.250
Neither am I.

01:07:14.125 --> 01:07:17.250
- My mom, she...
- Your mom wants you happy.

01:07:17.333 --> 01:07:19.625
Yeah, she does.

01:07:19.708 --> 01:07:21.833
Neither of us know how.

01:07:29.208 --> 01:07:31.750
Let's go back and get graduated.

01:07:36.375 --> 01:07:38.000
All right.

01:07:43.583 --> 01:07:45.791
- I'm here. I understand it's a big deal.
- Do you?

01:07:45.875 --> 01:07:47.791
- Yeah.
- He graduated from Yale.

01:07:47.875 --> 01:07:49.666
Your father graduated from Dartmouth.

01:07:50.750 --> 01:07:53.541
So, without further ado,
let's bring them in.

01:07:53.625 --> 01:07:55.708
Ladies and gentlemen,
let's give a warm welcome

01:07:55.791 --> 01:07:58.541
to the Yale class of 1986.

01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:23.416
There's a call for you.

01:08:31.541 --> 01:08:33.375
Hello?

01:08:33.458 --> 01:08:35.083
Remember me?

01:08:36.458 --> 01:08:37.875
Hey, Dad.

01:08:37.958 --> 01:08:39.958
I-I-I didn't make it, as you know.

01:08:40.041 --> 01:08:42.208
Uh, no... no surprise there.

01:08:42.291 --> 01:08:46.333
Uh, but I did want to tell you that, uh...

01:08:46.416 --> 01:08:48.166
I quit drinking.

01:08:48.250 --> 01:08:51.166
And, uh, I've been here and there...

01:08:52.666 --> 01:08:54.666
...apologizing

01:08:54.750 --> 01:08:58.375
and... you made the list.

01:08:58.458 --> 01:09:01.291
- Wow.
- Oh, come on. Don't fuck with me.

01:09:02.958 --> 01:09:04.583
Hey, I'm glad you made it.

01:09:04.666 --> 01:09:06.625
Uh, I was worried.

01:09:06.708 --> 01:09:09.000
College ain't for everybody.

01:09:09.083 --> 01:09:12.375
It was for Mom, but you got her pregnant.

01:09:12.458 --> 01:09:16.250
Yes, well, we all have to paddle
our own canoe, JR.

01:09:16.333 --> 01:09:19.416
Seems like your mother's got you
paddling hers a little bit.

01:09:20.500 --> 01:09:24.375
I think she's been paddling both of ours
for a very long time.

01:09:27.541 --> 01:09:28.958
Maybe.

01:09:30.458 --> 01:09:33.250
Uh, all right, well, I'm on the air
in 15 and change.

01:09:33.333 --> 01:09:34.750
I got to go.

01:09:34.833 --> 01:09:37.041
Where are you?

01:09:42.750 --> 01:09:44.583
What law schools are you looking at?

01:09:45.666 --> 01:09:46.958
None.

01:09:47.041 --> 01:09:48.791
I'm gonna be a novelist.

01:09:52.791 --> 01:09:54.375
Where you gonna live?

01:09:54.458 --> 01:09:57.750
At Grandpa's, like everybody.

01:09:57.833 --> 01:09:59.250
We all go to Grandpa's.

01:09:59.333 --> 01:10:03.000
I mean, I-I know you think this is
supposed to change everything, but...

01:10:03.083 --> 01:10:04.416
You have to have a job.

01:10:04.500 --> 01:10:07.166
I will have a job... writing a novel.

01:10:09.333 --> 01:10:11.583
Publishing is going more towards memoir.

01:10:11.666 --> 01:10:13.375
That's true.

01:10:19.708 --> 01:10:21.708
Here.

01:10:21.791 --> 01:10:23.416
Is this for Sidney?

01:10:23.500 --> 01:10:25.250
No.

01:10:25.333 --> 01:10:26.875
Open it.

01:10:34.125 --> 01:10:35.333
It's a Yale ring.

01:10:35.416 --> 01:10:37.916
I don't like male jewelry, but I thought,

01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:40.750
since the Musketeers
actually did this together...

01:10:41.833 --> 01:10:43.541
It's for you.

01:10:59.875 --> 01:11:01.708
Jesus, fuck.

01:11:01.791 --> 01:11:04.541
Symbolically,
you just married your mother.

01:11:04.625 --> 01:11:06.601
- Whoa. Take it easy.
- All right, all right, all right.

01:11:06.625 --> 01:11:09.425
So let's say... let's say you closed
the circle with one parent, right?

01:11:09.458 --> 01:11:11.291
- Yeah. Yeah.
- Maybe.

01:11:11.375 --> 01:11:13.125
What about The Voice?

01:11:13.208 --> 01:11:15.458
- I don't even know where he is.
- The Voice...

01:11:15.541 --> 01:11:18.666
locked in a downward spiral
since the Carter administration.

01:11:19.833 --> 01:11:23.083
So both you assholes just graduated?

01:11:23.166 --> 01:11:25.833
Charlie, back 'em up on me.

01:11:25.916 --> 01:11:27.458
- Aw.
- Thanks, Chief.

01:11:27.541 --> 01:11:30.500
So, how much do they get
for a Yale education these days?

01:11:30.583 --> 01:11:32.000
Oh, it's 60 grand.

01:11:32.083 --> 01:11:34.958
- 60?
- JR got grants and scholarships.

01:11:35.041 --> 01:11:37.250
Wesley, you were a full-ticket guy?

01:11:37.333 --> 01:11:38.601
All right, answer me this.

01:11:38.625 --> 01:11:42.041
What year... was the Magna Carta signed?

01:11:43.125 --> 01:11:45.041
- I don't know.
- I don't fucking know.

01:11:45.125 --> 01:11:47.958
- Survey says...
- 1215.

01:11:48.041 --> 01:11:50.541
It's the foundation of English law.
You should know it.

01:11:50.625 --> 01:11:52.708
- Bulwark against tyranny.
- King John.

01:11:52.791 --> 01:11:54.684
- That's right.
- At this point, Chief,

01:11:54.708 --> 01:11:57.125
- I don't give a shit.
- He doesn't give a shit.

01:11:57.208 --> 01:12:00.008
Kid, I'm just trying to keep you
out of the ruling classes. That's all.

01:12:00.083 --> 01:12:01.750
Too late, Chief. Too late.

01:12:01.833 --> 01:12:04.833
$60,000. My house cost $12,000.

01:12:04.916 --> 01:12:07.875
- Your house cost $7,000.
- My house cost $7,000.

01:12:10.791 --> 01:12:12.958
I was kind of into
the "clean break" idea.

01:12:13.041 --> 01:12:14.666
We can be friends.

01:12:14.750 --> 01:12:16.708
Just not romantic or sexual.

01:12:16.791 --> 01:12:18.833
That sounds appealing.

01:12:20.416 --> 01:12:22.791
So, what are you doing?

01:12:22.875 --> 01:12:24.291
I'm at the bar a lot.

01:12:24.375 --> 01:12:26.458
I'm working on my novel.

01:12:28.125 --> 01:12:30.166
Publishing is heading towards memoir.

01:12:30.250 --> 01:12:32.833
People have been saying that. Yeah.

01:12:32.916 --> 01:12:34.875
So, how many pages do you have?

01:12:36.708 --> 01:12:38.041
Many.

01:12:39.166 --> 01:12:40.875
Have you applied to newspapers?

01:12:40.958 --> 01:12:43.125
- Yeah. Yeah.
- You have clips?

01:12:43.208 --> 01:12:44.958
You contacted The New York Times?

01:12:45.041 --> 01:12:47.500
Would you like it if I was at The Times?

01:12:48.750 --> 01:12:50.875
I love you anyway.

01:12:50.958 --> 01:12:52.750
I just don't want a relationship.

01:12:52.833 --> 01:12:54.250
But you have a relationship.

01:12:54.333 --> 01:12:57.250
It's just not romantic or sexual.

01:13:03.500 --> 01:13:05.708
I think The Times is probably
out of my league.

01:13:07.375 --> 01:13:09.208
Was Yale out of your league?

01:13:10.291 --> 01:13:12.625
- Can we just go to your place?
- No.

01:13:14.166 --> 01:13:15.708
I live with him.

01:13:20.333 --> 01:13:23.625
So, Sidney saw you
in your reduced condition.

01:13:24.708 --> 01:13:26.833
- But she was checking up on you.
- Yeah.

01:13:26.916 --> 01:13:29.000
She was trying to see if you had
your shit together.

01:13:29.083 --> 01:13:31.458
Uh...

01:13:31.541 --> 01:13:35.291
I don't even have any shit
to get together.

01:13:35.375 --> 01:13:38.166
- I don't. I don't have anything.
- Hey. Hey, hey, listen.

01:13:38.250 --> 01:13:41.666
What did I tell you
about the male sciences?

01:13:41.750 --> 01:13:43.375
- Remember that?
- Yeah.

01:13:43.458 --> 01:13:45.375
- Right? Have a job.
- Right.

01:13:45.458 --> 01:13:46.625
- Have a car.
- Yeah.

01:13:46.708 --> 01:13:48.809
- Put all your shit in it.
- I don't have any of that.

01:13:48.833 --> 01:13:52.583
So you can be independent,
and then somebody might want you.

01:13:52.666 --> 01:13:55.208
And if they don't,
you get the fuck out of there.

01:13:57.166 --> 01:13:58.541
Right?

01:14:01.375 --> 01:14:04.208
New York Times.

01:14:04.291 --> 01:14:06.375
Yes. Can I tell him who's calling?

01:14:08.125 --> 01:14:09.458
Take care.

01:14:12.916 --> 01:14:14.875
New York Times.

01:14:15.916 --> 01:14:17.083
- Hi. Are you JR?
- Yes.

01:14:17.166 --> 01:14:18.625
Yeah, you can come with me.

01:14:19.708 --> 01:14:22.041
We all like your clips from New Haven.

01:14:22.125 --> 01:14:23.875
Where are you working now?

01:14:23.958 --> 01:14:25.875
I'm writing fiction, I think.

01:14:25.958 --> 01:14:29.583
And I work at a family business.

01:14:30.583 --> 01:14:33.291
It's a hospitality business.

01:14:33.375 --> 01:14:35.958
A bar on Long Island.

01:14:37.750 --> 01:14:41.125
- Your clips are good, Mr. Maguire.
- They are?

01:14:41.208 --> 01:14:43.875
The editors feel they need to see more
before they make a decision.

01:14:43.958 --> 01:14:45.500
You want to see more?

01:14:45.583 --> 01:14:46.916
Yes.

01:14:48.500 --> 01:14:50.125
Is that good?

01:14:50.208 --> 01:14:52.000
Yes.

01:14:54.916 --> 01:14:57.125
I don't have more.

01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:01.708
Let me tell Brian that.

01:15:06.041 --> 01:15:07.875
Do you want to meet Brian?

01:15:09.333 --> 01:15:12.208
Not if I don't have a job.

01:15:15.250 --> 01:15:17.125
Why don't you come and meet him?

01:15:43.416 --> 01:15:45.416
JR, come in.

01:15:47.791 --> 01:15:49.250
Hi, sir.

01:15:52.125 --> 01:15:53.958
So do not write to her

01:15:54.041 --> 01:15:56.333
and tell her that you've
improved your position,

01:15:56.416 --> 01:15:58.656
because that will take away
all the power and the majesty

01:15:58.708 --> 01:16:00.208
of her finding this out for herself.

01:16:00.291 --> 01:16:02.083
I already did.

01:16:02.166 --> 01:16:05.541
Can you fucking come to me
with this shit, please?

01:16:05.625 --> 01:16:08.625
Do not tell her you want her back.
Did you say that?

01:16:08.708 --> 01:16:10.625
Uh, yeah.

01:16:10.708 --> 01:16:12.541
Did you go and...

01:16:12.625 --> 01:16:14.958
stare up at the building,
like, in the rain and shit?

01:16:15.041 --> 01:16:16.375
No.

01:16:17.458 --> 01:16:18.458
Sidney!

01:16:18.541 --> 01:16:22.708
JR, this girl has abandoned you
how many times?

01:16:23.791 --> 01:16:26.541
If someone abandons you,
what does that tell you?

01:16:27.583 --> 01:16:29.500
You, of all people.

01:16:29.583 --> 01:16:31.791
She just needs time, you know?

01:16:31.875 --> 01:16:34.958
Yeah, I think you're missing
a central fact,

01:16:35.041 --> 01:16:38.625
which is that women decide
if they want something or if they don't,

01:16:38.708 --> 01:16:40.833
and it becomes very obvious very fast.

01:16:40.916 --> 01:16:43.500
- But...
- Women decide.

01:16:43.583 --> 01:16:46.208
- I know, but...
- When you met, who decided?

01:16:46.291 --> 01:16:49.083
- She did.
- There you go, numb nuts.

01:16:49.166 --> 01:16:51.375
Standard pattern, obvious to all.

01:16:51.458 --> 01:16:53.666
You do see a pattern, right?

01:16:57.416 --> 01:16:58.833
Hey!

01:16:58.916 --> 01:17:00.875
JR got a job at The Times.

01:17:05.333 --> 01:17:07.250
I'm a... I'm a copyboy.

01:17:07.333 --> 01:17:09.625
- You're a copyboy?
- I-I get sandwiches. I...

01:17:09.708 --> 01:17:12.041
Hey, Charlie, back him up on me.

01:17:14.541 --> 01:17:18.375
So, your first byline
presents a, uh, problem.

01:17:18.458 --> 01:17:22.958
Uh, i-initials cannot be used
without periods.

01:17:23.041 --> 01:17:24.791
I've done some research,

01:17:24.875 --> 01:17:27.541
and Harry S Truman
did not use a dot after his...

01:17:27.625 --> 01:17:29.000
They're not called dots.

01:17:30.875 --> 01:17:33.500
EE Cummings... uh, no, uh, periods.

01:17:33.583 --> 01:17:35.416
And The Times uses them anyway.

01:17:35.500 --> 01:17:36.875
And do you know why?

01:17:36.958 --> 01:17:38.791
'Cause it looks like we forgot.

01:17:38.875 --> 01:17:43.041
Times style is Times style,
and you are J-period R-period Maguire.

01:17:43.125 --> 01:17:45.041
Period.

01:17:45.125 --> 01:17:47.541
There's no periods after a last name.

01:17:47.625 --> 01:17:49.958
My congratulations on your fine work.

01:17:50.041 --> 01:17:52.250
You got a byline in The New York Times.

01:17:58.541 --> 01:17:59.541
Anything else?

01:18:01.208 --> 01:18:03.208
Oh. No, thank you.

01:18:18.125 --> 01:18:19.541
Dad owns the firm.

01:18:19.625 --> 01:18:21.416
Brothers are partners.

01:18:21.500 --> 01:18:22.750
Sooner or later, it's gonna...

01:18:22.833 --> 01:18:24.750
- Lucky Sperm Club.
- Lucky Sperm Club.

01:18:24.833 --> 01:18:26.250
- Exactly. Yes.
- Here you go.

01:18:26.333 --> 01:18:27.833
Thank you.

01:18:27.916 --> 01:18:29.458
So you got promoted?

01:18:29.541 --> 01:18:32.375
Oh, no, I'm promoted
when I become a full-fledged reporter

01:18:32.458 --> 01:18:34.125
and when my byline appears every day.

01:18:34.208 --> 01:18:37.375
And you still won't have the background
Sidney's looking for

01:18:37.458 --> 01:18:40.250
and you'll be mainly blossoming
as a barfly.

01:18:40.333 --> 01:18:42.351
- Uh-huh, well...
- Ah, you know, genetics is tough.

01:18:42.375 --> 01:18:44.000
What are you gonna do?

01:18:44.083 --> 01:18:46.250
Incidentally, where is the old man?

01:18:46.333 --> 01:18:48.250
- Uh, somewhere south.
- Mm.

01:18:48.333 --> 01:18:50.226
You know, you're becoming
like your mother about Yale.

01:18:50.250 --> 01:18:51.333
Oh, yeah?

01:18:51.416 --> 01:18:53.500
Yeah, you think The Times means something.

01:18:53.583 --> 01:18:55.267
Yeah, because it does.
It's The New York fucking Times.

01:18:55.291 --> 01:18:57.625
- No, no, it doesn't.
- Well, what does mean something?

01:18:57.708 --> 01:18:59.875
A book. With a book, you'll go years

01:18:59.958 --> 01:19:02.226
before you realize that
that doesn't mean anything, either.

01:19:02.250 --> 01:19:05.750
And I'm telling you, JR, I promise you,
whether you write at The Times,

01:19:05.833 --> 01:19:08.000
whether you write this book,

01:19:08.083 --> 01:19:11.250
Sidney will still never call you
out of the blue to get you back.

01:19:11.333 --> 01:19:12.750
- Okay, and do you know why?
- Why?

01:19:12.833 --> 01:19:15.101
Why won't Sidney ever call me,
genius who knows everything?

01:19:15.125 --> 01:19:18.000
Because she's dumped you like nine times.

01:19:18.083 --> 01:19:21.041
Because she doesn't love you, man.

01:19:23.916 --> 01:19:27.083
Because she's getting married
on Memorial Day.

01:19:29.458 --> 01:19:33.083
In retrospect, what you do next
is gonna be important.

01:19:34.083 --> 01:19:36.208
You gentlemen ready to order?

01:19:36.291 --> 01:19:38.458
Four gin martinis, up with a twist.

01:19:39.791 --> 01:19:42.541
♪ Everybody's gone away ♪

01:19:45.625 --> 01:19:49.833
♪ Said they're moving to L.A. ♪

01:19:51.166 --> 01:19:54.958
♪ There's not a soul I know around ♪

01:19:57.083 --> 01:20:00.458
♪ Everybody's leaving town ♪

01:20:02.125 --> 01:20:04.833
- ♪ Some caught a freight, some caught... ♪
- Hey.

01:20:04.916 --> 01:20:06.666
Wake the fuck up.

01:20:07.666 --> 01:20:09.916
I thought you were gonna be a writer.

01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:12.500
I am.

01:20:12.583 --> 01:20:15.750
No, you're not. You're a copyboy.

01:20:15.833 --> 01:20:17.750
- I write.
- A book?

01:20:17.833 --> 01:20:19.916
- No.
- So you're just a fuckup.

01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:21.625
- I'm not a fuckup.
- Yeah, you are.

01:20:21.708 --> 01:20:23.958
And you come from a long line of fuckups.

01:20:25.041 --> 01:20:26.541
That's true.

01:20:26.625 --> 01:20:28.500
You want to know what I think?

01:20:29.583 --> 01:20:31.000
Probably not.

01:20:31.083 --> 01:20:35.375
I think you should go back to sleep,
wake up in 20 years,

01:20:35.458 --> 01:20:37.833
tell everybody how good you could've been.

01:20:40.125 --> 01:20:41.750
That's what I think.

01:20:43.083 --> 01:20:44.625
- Fuck you.
- Fuck you...

01:21:09.708 --> 01:21:11.375
Stinky.

01:21:12.416 --> 01:21:15.250
Hey. He's looking for you.

01:21:16.708 --> 01:21:18.625
This is it.

01:21:18.708 --> 01:21:20.083
Lucky bastard.

01:21:23.500 --> 01:21:25.583
As you know,
the editors have had a chance

01:21:25.666 --> 01:21:29.291
to carefully review your work,
and, um, it's terrific.

01:21:29.375 --> 01:21:32.875
Truly, some of your pieces
have been outstanding.

01:21:32.958 --> 01:21:36.708
Though most of them are about, uh,
people in bars on Long Island, uh...

01:21:38.208 --> 01:21:41.291
Uh, some of your pieces have been
truly, truly outstanding.

01:21:41.375 --> 01:21:45.000
Um, that's why I wish I had better news.

01:21:45.083 --> 01:21:47.708
Um, as you know, um,

01:21:47.791 --> 01:21:51.000
when the committee meets
to consider a trainee,

01:21:51.083 --> 01:21:54.041
some editors voice support, some do not.

01:21:54.125 --> 01:21:58.208
A vote's taken... and, um,
I can't tell you who voted how or why...

01:21:58.291 --> 01:22:00.791
but, um, the end result is

01:22:00.875 --> 01:22:04.000
I cannot offer you
a position as a reporter.

01:22:08.333 --> 01:22:09.750
Thank you.

01:22:09.833 --> 01:22:13.291
The feeling is that you lack,
uh, experience, you know?

01:22:13.375 --> 01:22:16.208
Smaller newspaper, perhaps, you know?

01:22:16.291 --> 01:22:19.958
Someplace where you can, uh,
learn and grow.

01:22:21.791 --> 01:22:23.500
No. Thank you.

01:22:47.583 --> 01:22:49.208
It's your mom.

01:22:54.083 --> 01:22:55.375
Hello?

01:22:55.458 --> 01:22:57.000
Don't look at me like that.

01:22:57.083 --> 01:22:58.458
They said it was minor.

01:22:59.750 --> 01:23:01.250
Let me tell you something.

01:23:01.333 --> 01:23:04.125
It may be possible to kill me,

01:23:04.208 --> 01:23:06.250
but it is not easy.

01:23:07.625 --> 01:23:09.958
Okay. You sure you're all right?

01:23:10.041 --> 01:23:12.333
Yeah, I'm fine.

01:23:12.416 --> 01:23:15.125
Good. Be out of here in a few days.

01:23:18.166 --> 01:23:20.541
What's going on? What's up?

01:23:20.625 --> 01:23:22.208
Ah.

01:23:22.291 --> 01:23:26.000
Well, they didn't offer me that position.

01:23:27.291 --> 01:23:29.375
Pure gold.

01:23:29.458 --> 01:23:31.458
All those assholes are now characters.

01:23:31.541 --> 01:23:32.833
Yeah, I guess so.

01:23:32.916 --> 01:23:35.083
This incident itself is dramatic.

01:23:35.166 --> 01:23:36.458
You can inflate this.

01:23:36.541 --> 01:23:38.041
Yeah. Okay.

01:23:38.125 --> 01:23:39.333
No, I think so.

01:23:39.416 --> 01:23:42.750
Maybe... maybe this is the point where

01:23:42.833 --> 01:23:45.291
you tell me something really important.

01:23:45.375 --> 01:23:47.000
Yeah.

01:23:48.416 --> 01:23:52.791
I... To be honest, I'm not 100% sure
we should go memoir.

01:23:52.875 --> 01:23:55.583
But we have to be conscious
of the trend, right?

01:23:56.791 --> 01:23:59.250
However, if it is a memoir,

01:23:59.333 --> 01:24:01.916
and if it's gonna have any structure...

01:24:03.041 --> 01:24:04.958
...you know what you have to do.

01:24:08.333 --> 01:24:11.083
He's in North Carolina doing a talk show.

01:24:14.583 --> 01:24:17.125
Your father came to Manhasset once...

01:24:17.208 --> 01:24:20.208
seeking rapprochements with your mother.

01:24:20.291 --> 01:24:23.166
Came on the train... didn't have a car.

01:24:23.250 --> 01:24:25.125
Can't have any kind
of fucking rapprochements

01:24:25.208 --> 01:24:27.416
with any kind of chick
if you don't have a fucking car.

01:24:27.500 --> 01:24:28.625
You know this.

01:24:28.708 --> 01:24:30.726
You've told me, yes,
and the stashies in your wallet...

01:24:30.750 --> 01:24:32.226
Maybe in the future of transportation

01:24:32.250 --> 01:24:34.130
or in Holland or whatever,
things are different,

01:24:34.208 --> 01:24:37.416
but in America, have a car.

01:24:37.500 --> 01:24:38.583
Right?

01:24:39.916 --> 01:24:44.333
Anyway, your mother
already told him to fuck off.

01:24:44.416 --> 01:24:46.083
He shows up.

01:24:46.166 --> 01:24:47.750
Comes into the bar.

01:24:48.791 --> 01:24:52.000
Orders a well Scotch neat.

01:24:53.708 --> 01:24:55.708
Never order a well Scotch.

01:24:55.791 --> 01:24:57.458
Never order it neat.

01:24:58.583 --> 01:25:01.750
It's a signal
that you're reaching the end.

01:25:03.750 --> 01:25:06.500
And in his case, this was 20 years ago.

01:25:09.166 --> 01:25:12.500
And then I loaned the guy
30 bucks, which...

01:25:12.583 --> 01:25:14.583
I have yet to see since.

01:25:16.625 --> 01:25:19.500
And over all these years,

01:25:19.583 --> 01:25:24.166
all I really remember about him
is that fucking voice.

01:25:25.250 --> 01:25:27.708
I mean, the set of pipes.

01:25:30.208 --> 01:25:32.875
Uh, as I get older...

01:25:34.041 --> 01:25:36.333
I wonder,

01:25:36.416 --> 01:25:38.541
you know, like...

01:25:38.625 --> 01:25:40.625
what was the fucking problem?

01:25:42.083 --> 01:25:43.916
I mean...

01:25:45.708 --> 01:25:47.166
...if...

01:25:50.958 --> 01:25:52.791
Do I remind you of him?

01:25:55.833 --> 01:25:57.708
Lighten up on your drinking.

01:26:05.833 --> 01:26:07.958
He was right, of course.

01:26:08.041 --> 01:26:12.000
First thing he did when he got out
of the hospital was light a cigarette.

01:26:12.083 --> 01:26:15.166
What's that line about old dogs
and new tricks?

01:26:16.250 --> 01:26:17.458
Speaking of old dogs...

01:26:19.875 --> 01:26:21.500
It was time.

01:26:54.958 --> 01:26:57.458
Oh, come here and give your old man a hug.

01:27:02.625 --> 01:27:04.250
Thanks for making the trip.

01:27:05.833 --> 01:27:07.208
Yeah.

01:27:10.375 --> 01:27:15.208
So, uh, I don't know
if I told you on the phone, but, um...

01:27:16.416 --> 01:27:20.041
I'm allowing myself a cocktail
from time to time.

01:27:21.833 --> 01:27:23.583
- I thought you were...
- You-you want one?

01:27:23.666 --> 01:27:25.041
- Hey, Johnny.
- Hey.

01:27:25.125 --> 01:27:27.083
- What can I get for you?
- Um...

01:27:27.166 --> 01:27:29.375
Double Scotch, whatever the well is,

01:27:29.458 --> 01:27:32.208
uh, rocks, splash of water, no fruit.

01:27:32.291 --> 01:27:34.333
No fruit. Okay.

01:27:34.416 --> 01:27:36.125
- And for you?
- I'm fine.

01:27:36.208 --> 01:27:37.708
Oh, come on, don't fuck with me.

01:27:37.791 --> 01:27:40.166
- He's gonna have what I'm having.
- You got it.

01:27:42.958 --> 01:27:44.666
I make the rules.

01:27:45.750 --> 01:27:47.250
Unless you can take me.

01:27:51.041 --> 01:27:52.708
You want to take me on?

01:27:55.083 --> 01:27:58.208
For being a shitty father,
I'll give you the first shot.

01:28:01.125 --> 01:28:02.625
I think I'm okay.

01:28:02.708 --> 01:28:04.166
Yeah.

01:28:05.458 --> 01:28:08.625
I'm letting myself have a cocktail
from time to time.

01:28:09.666 --> 01:28:11.625
I don't think I told you over the phone

01:28:11.708 --> 01:28:15.833
that I was letting myself have a cocktail
from time to time, huh?

01:28:15.916 --> 01:28:20.833
See, I realized that, um,
I'm not an alcoholic, so...

01:28:20.916 --> 01:28:22.625
Yeah.

01:28:22.708 --> 01:28:24.000
It's all good.

01:28:24.083 --> 01:28:26.208
You know, when the mood strikes me,

01:28:26.291 --> 01:28:28.625
I can enjoy a cocktail.

01:28:28.708 --> 01:28:32.083
And you can enjoy a cocktail
with your old man.

01:28:32.166 --> 01:28:34.083
Here we go.

01:28:37.041 --> 01:28:38.750
Thank you.

01:28:46.208 --> 01:28:50.041
Okay, so what are you doing?

01:28:51.166 --> 01:28:53.083
I'm a writer.

01:28:53.166 --> 01:28:55.083
I have a job at The Times.

01:29:00.458 --> 01:29:03.541
And, uh, how's your mother?

01:29:03.625 --> 01:29:05.875
She's good.

01:29:05.958 --> 01:29:07.666
Yeah?

01:29:11.583 --> 01:29:13.958
We're gonna go, uh, have dinner.

01:29:15.000 --> 01:29:16.500
At Kathy's.

01:29:18.041 --> 01:29:20.083
She's the new poontang.

01:29:25.083 --> 01:29:27.333
So...

01:29:28.500 --> 01:29:29.916
Let's go.

01:30:14.291 --> 01:30:15.791
Hey.

01:30:18.958 --> 01:30:22.083
Well, I see y'all started
the party without me.

01:30:22.166 --> 01:30:25.416
The party started
a long time before I met you.

01:30:26.666 --> 01:30:30.125
This is my son, JR.

01:30:31.125 --> 01:30:33.541
What's the JR stand for?

01:30:34.625 --> 01:30:35.958
Junior.

01:30:36.958 --> 01:30:39.416
Very pleased to meet you, JR.

01:30:39.500 --> 01:30:41.250
Nice to meet you.

01:30:45.750 --> 01:30:47.166
What's for supper?

01:30:47.250 --> 01:30:49.291
I cooked a chicken,
got some vegetables.

01:30:49.375 --> 01:30:50.833
What time do you want to eat?

01:30:50.916 --> 01:30:53.375
Well, we're hungry now.

01:30:53.458 --> 01:30:55.833
What about that one?

01:30:55.916 --> 01:30:57.375
Hmm...

01:30:57.458 --> 01:31:00.333
- That is... Right here?
- Yeah, one... the piece has to go here.

01:31:00.416 --> 01:31:03.333
- This piece has to go here.
- Nice.

01:31:03.416 --> 01:31:05.583
What do you do with these
after you're done?

01:31:07.208 --> 01:31:09.291
Mama shellacs 'em and puts 'em up.

01:31:15.458 --> 01:31:18.208
- That's Venice.
- I know.

01:31:19.458 --> 01:31:21.416
Have you ever been there?

01:31:21.500 --> 01:31:22.916
Not yet.

01:31:24.041 --> 01:31:26.041
How do you get to go places?

01:31:29.041 --> 01:31:30.458
How?

01:31:34.333 --> 01:31:36.083
Do well in school.

01:31:38.333 --> 01:31:41.458
Do very well in school.

01:31:44.250 --> 01:31:47.500
That's the first thing I had to do.

01:31:51.625 --> 01:31:56.125
And sometimes that's all there is.

01:31:59.666 --> 01:32:01.166
I'm good at school.

01:32:01.250 --> 01:32:04.708
Yeah, if-if you do very well in school...

01:32:06.250 --> 01:32:07.541
...no one...

01:32:07.625 --> 01:32:10.083
Bet you write like nuns fuck.

01:32:19.375 --> 01:32:20.916
Where's this fucking chicken?

01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:23.541
Don't need any of
your mood swings after the day I had.

01:32:23.625 --> 01:32:25.851
What kind of fucking day
could you possibly have had?

01:32:25.875 --> 01:32:28.166
You out sucking cock
to pay for your goddamn chicken?

01:32:28.250 --> 01:32:30.290
You know what, don't touch me!

01:32:36.208 --> 01:32:37.833
Hey!

01:32:43.916 --> 01:32:47.541
Goddamn, you look like you had
some kind of a breakthrough.

01:32:49.375 --> 01:32:51.166
Like everything is...

01:32:52.750 --> 01:32:54.375
...falling into place.

01:32:54.458 --> 01:32:56.625
- Shut the fuck up.
- What did you say to me?

01:32:56.708 --> 01:32:59.041
I said shut the fuck up!

01:33:05.458 --> 01:33:07.708
You can't shut me up.

01:33:07.791 --> 01:33:10.000
I'm a broadcast professional.

01:33:12.041 --> 01:33:13.791
You weren't trying to shut me up

01:33:13.875 --> 01:33:15.916
when you were looking for me
on the radio dial.

01:33:16.000 --> 01:33:17.833
Fuck you.

01:33:19.500 --> 01:33:22.458
Man, you can't shut your daddy up.

01:33:22.541 --> 01:33:26.166
What are you gonna do
without the bad guy in your life?

01:33:26.250 --> 01:33:27.875
You're set.

01:33:29.791 --> 01:33:32.666
They'll all say that
you never had a chance.

01:33:43.791 --> 01:33:45.750
Where's your phone?

01:34:28.916 --> 01:34:30.750
Sorry about your father.

01:34:32.833 --> 01:34:34.500
He's not my father.

01:34:36.416 --> 01:34:38.208
You don't get to pick.

01:34:39.666 --> 01:34:41.041
Maybe.

01:34:51.833 --> 01:34:53.458
Hi, honey.

01:34:55.375 --> 01:34:56.875
You're not gonna believe it.

01:34:56.958 --> 01:34:58.375
I got a great job.

01:34:58.458 --> 01:35:02.166
Your aunt, of all people, came through.

01:35:03.375 --> 01:35:05.333
It's in Westhampton. I got a desk.

01:35:05.416 --> 01:35:07.458
- Check the top?
- Yeah.

01:35:07.541 --> 01:35:10.250
They give you a book with a list
of phone numbers and addresses,

01:35:10.333 --> 01:35:14.333
and I talk to them about canceling
their whole life and getting term,

01:35:14.416 --> 01:35:18.291
putting the rest into an IRA
that builds tax-free.

01:35:19.333 --> 01:35:22.083
- How do I look?
- You look fantastic.

01:35:22.166 --> 01:35:24.166
Oh, God.

01:35:24.250 --> 01:35:27.083
I am gonna be late!

01:35:27.166 --> 01:35:30.458
They pay you a base salary, and then
you get a percentage of what you sell.

01:35:30.541 --> 01:35:32.125
There's some lasagna in the fridge.

01:35:32.208 --> 01:35:34.517
Leave some for Charlie.
Your grandpa already ate. I love you.

01:35:34.541 --> 01:35:35.625
- Okay.
- Wish me luck.

01:35:35.708 --> 01:35:37.916
Good luck.

01:35:38.000 --> 01:35:40.208
You sure this looks okay?

01:35:42.333 --> 01:35:44.333
Yeah. You look perfect.

01:35:54.583 --> 01:35:56.791
Your mother's settled, you know?

01:35:56.875 --> 01:35:58.416
Selling insurance.

01:36:00.208 --> 01:36:02.625
- Somebody's got to sell insurance, right?
- Yeah.

01:36:02.708 --> 01:36:05.375
Some of them are happy, probably.

01:36:05.458 --> 01:36:08.625
But I think Yale mostly took care
of her anxieties.

01:36:10.208 --> 01:36:13.541
It's not my place to judge
what she's looking for, but...

01:36:13.625 --> 01:36:15.541
you know, I'd say she's all right.

01:36:15.625 --> 01:36:17.750
Yeah, hope so.

01:36:18.833 --> 01:36:20.708
What's all your stuff doing here?

01:36:21.708 --> 01:36:23.416
I'm going to Manhattan.

01:36:23.500 --> 01:36:25.625
It's time. Wesley has a place.

01:36:26.708 --> 01:36:29.083
Well, if you're gonna be a writer,
you got to get a job.

01:36:29.166 --> 01:36:31.666
Yeah. I'm not sure what that is yet.

01:36:32.666 --> 01:36:34.208
Insurance is taken.

01:36:37.041 --> 01:36:39.291
It's America. Pick something.

01:36:42.291 --> 01:36:43.541
That everything?

01:36:44.625 --> 01:36:46.083

01:38:29.541 --> 01:38:32.583
When you set out
to be a lawyer, you go to law school.

01:38:32.666 --> 01:38:34.416
You get a diploma for your effort.

01:38:34.500 --> 01:38:36.083
You pass the bar.

01:38:36.166 --> 01:38:39.791
In the text, it declares you
officially a lawyer.

01:38:39.875 --> 01:38:42.083
That's how most jobs work.

01:38:42.166 --> 01:38:44.666
But you're a writer
the minute you say you are.

01:38:44.750 --> 01:38:46.583
Nobody gives you a diploma.

01:38:46.666 --> 01:38:50.625
You have to prove it,
at least to yourself.

01:38:50.708 --> 01:38:53.916

Uncle Charlie's car...

01:39:02.625 --> 01:39:06.375
