In the movies women are always scratching up guy's back and screaming and stuff. When they're having sex. |
Whose show was this on? |
Jed's got cables. |
Go to sleep. |
Hi, Dad. Dad, this is Jessica. |
It's nice to meet you, Jessica. |
Dad, this is amazing. If you play this backwards, it says "Paul is dead." |
I know. |
How do you know? |
It was sinking. |
What was? |
Our house. There was water coming in all the windows. |
You're worried we're going to be all right. We're going to be all right. I remember sometimes you'd have nightmares as a baby. Your mom would hold you and rock you and sing you a song. |
Bye bye blackbird. |
Is that what she used to sing? |
I miss her. What do you think happens to someone after they die? |
I don't know. |
Like do you believe in heaven? |
I never did. Or the whole idea of an afterlife. But I don't know any more. I have these dreams about... your mom... and we have long talks about... about you, and how you are, which she sort of knows but I tell her anyway. So what is that? It's sort of an afterlife, isn't it? |
I'm starting to forget her. |
I know. But she's here, Jonah. Because I have you. And as long as I have you, I have your Mom. |
I... uh... have a date with someone Friday night. |
Good. |
This one's for both of us. |
Sleepless and Son. Baltimore. |
Great. |
I look stupid. I look stupid, don't I? I look like I'm trying too hard. I was going to get a haircut but then I thought I'd look like I just got a haircut. |
This is a good letter, Dad. |
The heels on these shoes are very large. Why have I never noticed this? The heels on these shoes are grotesque. |
Her name is Annie. Annie Reed. |
Now I'm late. Bye. |
Listen to this |
Not now, Jonah |
Just this one part, okay? "I have been an excellent thirdbaseman for as long as I or anyone else can remember, and I guarantee you will not get one past me" |
Jonah, I'm leaving |
WAIT!!! "and while we're on the subject, let's just say right now that Brooks Robinson was the best third baseman ever. It's important that you agree with me on that because I'm from Baltimore." Dad, she thinks Brooks Robinson is the greatest. |
Dad! |
Everyone thinks Brooks Robinson is the greatest. |
It's a sign. |
Oh, right. |
Here is Seattle. And here is Baltimore. Case closed. |
She doesn't want us to go to Baltimore. She wants to meet us in New York City on Valentine's Day. On top of the Empire State Building. |
Perfect. We'll be there. |
I figure we could go to New York, catch the Knicks, and since we'd be there anyway, obviously we'd go to the Empire State Building |
There she is. |
Why is she bringing that bag? |
She's going to cook something for us? |
Okay, tiger. Time for bed. |
It's only ten o'clock. |
Jonah! |
Okay. |
Thank Victoria for dinner. |
Thanks for dinner. I never saw anybody cook potatoes that way. |
I'm glad you liked it. Good night, Jonah. |
Don't ever do that again. |
I thought I saw a black widow spider. |
What are you doing up? |
I was thirsty. |
There's a bathroom upstairs. |
The water tastes better in the kitchen. |
That's true. Why is that? |
Did you call that radio station again? |
No. |
Everyone at work heard you. |
I just called for a second. |
Long enough to call Victoria a ho. |
It's a short word. |
This is not a joke. Thank God Victoria doesn't know. It would really have hurt her feelings. |
If she knew, she'd never forgive me. It would be hopeless for the two of you. |
Jonah, this isn't fair. You don't know Victoria. I hardly know her myself. She is, in fact, a mystery to me. She tosses her hair a lot. Why does she do this? I have no idea. Is it a twitch? Does she need a haircut? Should she use barrette so it doesn't keep falling in her face? These are things that I'm willing to get to the bottom of, and that is why I am dating her. That is all I am doing. I am not marrying her. Can you appreciate the difference? That's what single people do, they try people on and they see if they fit. But nobody fits perfectly, everyone is an adjustment. |
Was Mom an adjustment? |
I'm never going to meet anyone who's going to measure up to your mom in your eyes? What do you think? There's a perfect woman walking around out there? |
God, she's beautiful. |
Victoria? She's okay. |
Dad, I was talking to Jessica about reincarnation, and she thinks that probably you knew Annie in another life. |
Who is Annie? |
The one who wrote us. |
The reason I know this and you don't is that I'm younger and purer so I'm more in touch with cosmic forces. |
I sincerely hope you are not going to marry Jessica. |
Have you seen my wallet? |
It might be in the kitchen. |
I'm only going to be away one night, okay, and Clarise will be here. You'll have a swell time. You'll watch a little Geraldo, some Nightmare on Elm Street 12, I'll never know. |
Are you going with her? |
Yes. |
I have to have a life. I have to do things that I want with people my own age. It's none of your business who I am going out with. I don't give a good goddam if you're angry |
This is the one I like. |
Fine. I won't say anything. You can marry Count Dracula. |
Thank you, Jonah. But the point is, I am not asking permission. |
What's wrong with Annie? |
Shut up. |
Shut up? Shut up??? Mom never did that. Mom never said shut up to me. Mom never yelled at me. |
This conversation is finished. |
You said we could go to New York. |
Did not. |
Did too. |
I can't know what I said, but we're not going. |
I'm not leaving this room until you say yes. |
Get out. |
No. |
Goddammit, I am sick of this |
