00:00:58.343 --> 00:01:01.597 align:center
I've imagined it so many times,
00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:06.393 align:center
how among all the other questions
certain to have come to you was…
00:01:06.476 --> 00:01:09.187 align:center
"What will happen to the dog?"
00:02:05.159 --> 00:02:07.828 align:center
He's there at the top of the hill
00:02:08.454 --> 00:02:11.250 align:center
between the two bridges,
silhouetted against the limpid sky.
00:02:11.332 --> 00:02:13.436 align:center
- You're making this up.
- I'm certainly not making it up.
00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:15.796 align:center
"Limpid" is one of your words.
00:02:15.879 --> 00:02:17.296 align:center
Well, "limpid's" made up, sure,
00:02:17.381 --> 00:02:20.050 align:center
but I didn't make it up.
Some other guy may have… "Limpid…"
00:02:20.132 --> 00:02:22.344 align:center
This really happened. Hang on.
00:02:22.426 --> 00:02:25.305 align:center
Voila! It was like he was magicked there.
00:02:25.388 --> 00:02:27.431 align:center
Like one of Andersen's giant dogs.
00:02:27.516 --> 00:02:28.850 align:center
- And no collar.
- No.
00:02:28.933 --> 00:02:30.185 align:center
- No tag?
- Nothing.
00:02:30.268 --> 00:02:31.852 align:center
Wait. Hans Christian...
00:02:31.936 --> 00:02:35.815 align:center
You know the story. A soldier steals
a tinderbox. He opens it up.
00:02:35.898 --> 00:02:37.441 align:center
Three giant dogs appear
00:02:37.525 --> 00:02:39.694 align:center
to grant any wish that he desires.
00:02:39.777 --> 00:02:42.239 align:center
Walter, that story
is a rape fantasy.
00:02:42.321 --> 00:02:43.407 align:center
No, no, no. Come on.
00:02:43.490 --> 00:02:45.784 align:center
The pervy soldier is obsessed
with the king's daughter,
00:02:45.866 --> 00:02:48.202 align:center
so he had the dogs kidnap her.
00:02:48.286 --> 00:02:51.957 align:center
As revenge. It's Danish social commentary.
00:02:52.039 --> 00:02:55.001 align:center
So he can have sex with her
00:02:55.084 --> 00:02:56.461 align:center
while she's sleeping!
00:02:57.336 --> 00:02:58.463 align:center
Well, that's Danish.
00:03:00.548 --> 00:03:02.550 align:center
Okay. Uh, you...
you, you could have a point.
00:03:02.634 --> 00:03:03.843 align:center
- But the fact is…
- Thank you.
00:03:03.927 --> 00:03:05.220 align:center
…the dog magically appeared.
00:03:05.303 --> 00:03:07.543 align:center
So how's Barbara feeling
about this magical dog
00:03:07.597 --> 00:03:09.015 align:center
suddenly appearing out of nowhere?
00:03:09.098 --> 00:03:12.226 align:center
Barbara was a much better sport
about my grown daughter
00:03:12.309 --> 00:03:14.520 align:center
magically appearing out of nowhere.
00:03:14.603 --> 00:03:17.000 align:center
- How is your daughter?
- She's spectacular.
00:03:17.024 --> 00:03:19.276 align:center
She's working with Iris now
on The Letters.
00:03:19.358 --> 00:03:20.628 align:center
- How's it going?
- Oh.
00:03:20.652 --> 00:03:22.987 align:center
It's good to have a partner. Yeah.
00:03:23.070 --> 00:03:25.990 align:center
- Another writer in the family?
- Thank you.
00:03:38.420 --> 00:03:40.714 align:center
Do you recognize this voice?
00:03:41.465 --> 00:03:42.966 align:center
I don't.
00:03:43.924 --> 00:03:45.509 align:center
Uh, it's Walter.
00:03:46.678 --> 00:03:47.929 align:center
Where are you?
00:03:49.181 --> 00:03:52.851 align:center
I found that old computer,
but I can't boot it
00:03:52.933 --> 00:03:55.519 align:center
or kick it, or whatever you do to it.
00:03:55.603 --> 00:04:00.149 align:center
And that little prick in IT
is completely useless.
00:04:00.233 --> 00:04:01.442 align:center
Please call me.
00:04:05.238 --> 00:04:07.449 align:center
Do you recognize this voice?
00:04:07.531 --> 00:04:09.076 align:center
I don't.
00:04:10.035 --> 00:04:11.745 align:center
Uh, it's Walter.
00:04:12.996 --> 00:04:16.040 align:center
Where are you? I found that…
00:04:21.212 --> 00:04:23.340 align:center
You loved to tell your students,
00:04:23.423 --> 00:04:25.675 align:center
"Beware the inevitable detail."
00:04:26.842 --> 00:04:29.179 align:center
"Guard against anticipation."
00:04:30.471 --> 00:04:32.098 align:center
"Embrace disorder."
00:04:33.057 --> 00:04:35.601 align:center
Yet many of the stories
I read in writing workshops
00:04:35.684 --> 00:04:39.314 align:center
begin, inevitably, with someone
getting up in the morning.
00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.360 align:center
Much less often does a story begin
with someone going to bed.
00:04:45.945 --> 00:04:50.658 align:center
Of course, real people seldom behave
as predictably as characters in stories.
00:04:52.159 --> 00:04:55.204 align:center
That's one of the first things
you taught me as a writer.
00:04:56.122 --> 00:04:57.249 align:center
And strangely,
00:04:57.998 --> 00:05:01.461 align:center
one of the last things we talked about
while you were still alive.
00:05:02.504 --> 00:05:04.630 align:center
"And over this sickle bending,
00:05:04.714 --> 00:05:08.343 align:center
I listened, motionless and still,
00:05:08.426 --> 00:05:10.345 align:center
as I mounted up the hill.
00:05:11.679 --> 00:05:15.266 align:center
The music in my heart I bore,
00:05:15.975 --> 00:05:19.354 align:center
long after it was heard no more."
00:05:21.314 --> 00:05:23.692 align:center
Ah.
00:05:24.568 --> 00:05:26.068 align:center
I'm a mess, sorry.
00:05:26.694 --> 00:05:29.697 align:center
I thought I would read
a few of Walter's words.
00:05:30.573 --> 00:05:32.659 align:center
He wrote this in 2010.
00:05:33.242 --> 00:05:36.288 align:center
It's also the passage I chose
to begin my upcoming book
00:05:36.371 --> 00:05:38.122 align:center
about our time together.
00:05:39.373 --> 00:05:41.585 align:center
Hello? Hello?
00:05:41.667 --> 00:05:44.462 align:center
Mm…
00:05:46.297 --> 00:05:47.382 align:center
Good afternoon.
00:05:47.882 --> 00:05:50.343 align:center
My husband's students and colleagues
00:05:50.426 --> 00:05:53.470 align:center
meant as much to him as his writing.
00:05:54.181 --> 00:05:56.056 align:center
Well, almost as much.
00:05:58.143 --> 00:06:01.270 align:center
You were the community of friends,
00:06:01.354 --> 00:06:04.190 align:center
writers and readers,
and sometimes even critics,
00:06:04.274 --> 00:06:06.108 align:center
who prodded and pushed him
00:06:06.193 --> 00:06:09.737 align:center
and loved him in so many different ways.
00:06:29.758 --> 00:06:30.799 align:center
Excuse me.
00:06:32.010 --> 00:06:34.136 align:center
I had no idea you were coming.
00:06:34.221 --> 00:06:35.346 align:center
I wasn't going to.
00:06:36.055 --> 00:06:38.850 align:center
But then I thought, you know, closure.
00:06:38.933 --> 00:06:42.478 align:center
God, Iris, almost 20 years.
00:06:42.561 --> 00:06:44.314 align:center
How did that happen?
00:06:44.397 --> 00:06:46.274 align:center
I always imagined coming back.
00:06:47.192 --> 00:06:48.276 align:center
Aw…
00:06:48.359 --> 00:06:50.110 align:center
It's really good to see you.
00:06:51.362 --> 00:06:53.073 align:center
Wife number two is a piece of work, huh?
00:06:53.156 --> 00:06:55.241 align:center
Oh, you don't know the half of it.
00:06:55.324 --> 00:06:57.868 align:center
And she's really milking
the bereaved widow thing.
00:06:57.953 --> 00:06:59.621 align:center
I mean, for a number two.
00:07:00.664 --> 00:07:03.208 align:center
Google says
we're surviving divorced wives.
00:07:03.291 --> 00:07:05.210 align:center
- Oh.
- There can only be one widow.
00:07:05.292 --> 00:07:07.754 align:center
- Feeling cheated?
- Relieved.
00:07:09.296 --> 00:07:10.382 align:center
Excuse me.
00:07:11.507 --> 00:07:13.217 align:center
- Oh, thank you.
- Thank you.
00:07:14.176 --> 00:07:16.804 align:center
To, uh… him.
00:07:17.806 --> 00:07:19.014 align:center
Him.
00:07:23.019 --> 00:07:25.563 align:center
God, what an asshole.
00:07:26.273 --> 00:07:29.024 align:center
But what about you?
00:07:29.108 --> 00:07:30.795 align:center
- Uh, how's your writing going?
- Oh.
00:07:30.819 --> 00:07:32.779 align:center
I... I read The Counting. Stunning.
00:07:32.862 --> 00:07:34.989 align:center
- Really? Oh.
- Really.
00:07:35.073 --> 00:07:36.700 align:center
- What are you working on now?
- I'm not.
00:07:36.783 --> 00:07:38.576 align:center
Um, well, I was.
00:07:39.201 --> 00:07:43.372 align:center
Uh, I started a novel a couple
of years ago, but, uh, yeah.
00:07:44.123 --> 00:07:46.667 align:center
The worst writer's block of my life.
00:07:47.251 --> 00:07:49.211 align:center
Maybe because I called it "Eastern Bloc."
00:07:49.295 --> 00:07:50.838 align:center
- Ouch.
- Hey.
00:07:50.921 --> 00:07:53.383 align:center
Hey. I was looking for you when I came in.
00:07:53.465 --> 00:07:55.343 align:center
Yeah. I was late. Ah.
00:07:55.426 --> 00:07:57.220 align:center
I feel like a party-crasher.
00:07:57.304 --> 00:07:59.472 align:center
Or like something bad's about to happen.
00:08:00.055 --> 00:08:02.183 align:center
Hasn't something bad already happened?
00:08:02.266 --> 00:08:05.145 align:center
- Uh…
- I'm sorry. I'm... I'm Elaine.
00:08:05.227 --> 00:08:08.565 align:center
- Wife number one.
- Oh, El... Elaine. Right. Yes.
00:08:08.648 --> 00:08:11.568 align:center
Oh, Iris has told me
so much about you. Hi.
00:08:11.651 --> 00:08:12.944 align:center
- Hi.
- Yeah. Uh…
00:08:13.027 --> 00:08:14.945 align:center
Val. Val, Elaine.
00:08:15.029 --> 00:08:17.197 align:center
- This is Walter's daughter.
- Hi.
00:08:20.035 --> 00:08:22.828 align:center
Walter's… daughter.
00:08:22.912 --> 00:08:24.581 align:center
- Mm.
- Wow.
00:08:25.748 --> 00:08:26.916 align:center
"Daughter" daughter or…
00:08:27.500 --> 00:08:30.252 align:center
Stepdaughter? Widow... Widow's daughter?
00:08:30.336 --> 00:08:32.171 align:center
- Uh, what?
- Hello, Val.
00:08:32.254 --> 00:08:33.965 align:center
- Barbara.
- You must be Elaine.
00:08:34.882 --> 00:08:36.759 align:center
- The memorial was beautiful.
- Thank you.
00:08:36.842 --> 00:08:39.304 align:center
I really appreciate you including me.
00:08:40.763 --> 00:08:43.767 align:center
Iris, I need to talk with you
about something.
00:08:43.850 --> 00:08:45.601 align:center
I was hoping you'd come by the house.
00:08:45.685 --> 00:08:48.228 align:center
- Maybe early in the week?
- Yeah. Okay.
00:08:48.313 --> 00:08:49.897 align:center
Excuse me, ladies.
00:08:49.981 --> 00:08:52.733 align:center
Hello, Iris. Yeah.
You missed half of my poem.
00:08:52.816 --> 00:08:54.861 align:center
- Oh.
- Yeah. "Oh." It's okay.
00:08:54.944 --> 00:08:56.446 align:center
Sanderson, um, wants to talk to you.
00:08:56.529 --> 00:08:59.573 align:center
Thank you, Jerry. Oh, and I go back
to work on Wednesday.
00:08:59.657 --> 00:09:01.843 align:center
- Okay. I'll call you. Yeah.
- So… Thank you. Thank you.
00:09:01.867 --> 00:09:02.994 align:center
Call me.
00:09:04.828 --> 00:09:07.081 align:center
I should've introduced myself sooner.
00:09:07.165 --> 00:09:09.375 align:center
No, it wouldn't have helped.
Believe me.
00:09:09.958 --> 00:09:12.038 align:center
What do you think Barbara
wants to talk to you about?
00:09:13.295 --> 00:09:14.838 align:center
I have no idea.
00:09:18.801 --> 00:09:23.431 align:center
Walking with Samuel Beckett
one fine spring morning, a friend asked,
00:09:24.099 --> 00:09:26.934 align:center
"Doesn't a day like this
make you glad to be alive?"
00:09:28.103 --> 00:09:29.396 align:center
Beckett responded…
00:09:30.063 --> 00:09:32.815 align:center
"I wouldn't go as far as that."
00:09:39.823 --> 00:09:42.241 align:center
And another from your hero Beckett…
00:09:43.575 --> 00:09:47.580 align:center
"The day that I die
will be like any other day…
00:09:48.873 --> 00:09:50.125 align:center
only shorter."
00:09:53.753 --> 00:09:55.672 align:center
You cracked us up with the line…
00:09:56.339 --> 00:09:58.799 align:center
"The more
suicidal people there are,
00:09:59.718 --> 00:10:02.052 align:center
the less suicidal people there are."
00:10:09.102 --> 00:10:10.602 align:center
Hola, Ms. Iris.
00:10:12.896 --> 00:10:15.525 align:center
- That time already, is it?
- Oh, yeah.
00:10:15.608 --> 00:10:18.486 align:center
Santa Claus is coming to town.
00:10:19.821 --> 00:10:22.573 align:center
Ho-ho-ho.
00:10:31.999 --> 00:10:34.502 align:center
I've read that almost all people
00:10:34.585 --> 00:10:38.381 align:center
who attempt suicide and survive
regret having tried.
00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.052 align:center
Like jumpers who say
that as soon as they hit the air,
00:10:44.136 --> 00:10:46.890 align:center
they knew they didn't really wanna die.
00:10:50.267 --> 00:10:54.397 align:center
I wonder about you,
about how you might have felt.
00:10:58.025 --> 00:11:00.068 align:center
The thought keeps me up at night.
00:11:46.366 --> 00:11:50.578 align:center
Mancini drove a Buick
that appeared out of nowhere.
00:11:51.203 --> 00:11:55.166 align:center
Nobody asked questions.
They all just chipped in for gas.
00:11:55.250 --> 00:11:58.877 align:center
And three hours later,
they were at the Blue Horizon
00:11:58.961 --> 00:12:03.383 align:center
to watch George Benton,
master of the Philly Shell…
00:12:04.676 --> 00:12:06.928 align:center
slip and block
00:12:07.010 --> 00:12:08.596 align:center
and elude punches
00:12:09.346 --> 00:12:11.348 align:center
in a display of the sublime.
00:12:12.933 --> 00:12:16.646 align:center
"Make them miss and make them pay."
00:12:17.981 --> 00:12:20.233 align:center
Maybe Sid was perverse,
00:12:20.316 --> 00:12:24.153 align:center
but he loved making them miss
more than making them pay.
00:12:24.695 --> 00:12:28.865 align:center
That was his ideal,
inside the ring and out.
00:12:29.701 --> 00:12:31.201 align:center
It was easier in the ring.
00:12:31.995 --> 00:12:35.122 align:center
Outside, even the guys
who were untouchable,
00:12:35.206 --> 00:12:39.251 align:center
who were blessed with clairvoyance
or some uncanny genius,
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.379 align:center
got destroyed.
00:12:42.422 --> 00:12:47.260 align:center
Outside, life was chaotic and artless,
00:12:47.343 --> 00:12:51.305 align:center
and you took three punches to land one.
00:13:00.231 --> 00:13:03.358 align:center
"The sharpness of the betrayal
cut like a knife.
00:13:03.442 --> 00:13:07.571 align:center
There was no doubt anymore.
It was her ex."
00:13:11.409 --> 00:13:14.245 align:center
It's good. Better than it was.
00:13:15.204 --> 00:13:16.539 align:center
I like the ending.
00:13:16.623 --> 00:13:20.292 align:center
But Jane's still not very much
like a character in a story.
00:13:20.375 --> 00:13:22.836 align:center
She's more like a real person.
00:13:23.338 --> 00:13:25.423 align:center
Not like the kind of guys
that you write about.
00:13:25.505 --> 00:13:27.716 align:center
- Like that kind of story.
- No. I'm just saying…
00:13:27.799 --> 00:13:30.595 align:center
Like, no winged phantoms
or ritual beheadings.
00:13:30.677 --> 00:13:33.198 align:center
I just don't see the point writing about
somebody totally regular.
00:13:33.222 --> 00:13:35.099 align:center
I mean, with everything
going on in the world.
00:13:35.183 --> 00:13:36.392 align:center
The world? Are you kidding?
00:13:36.476 --> 00:13:38.037 align:center
I'm just offering
an honest critique.
00:13:38.061 --> 00:13:40.271 align:center
Carter, what do you mean by regular?
00:13:40.355 --> 00:13:43.524 align:center
I mean, the look and everything.
00:13:44.316 --> 00:13:45.902 align:center
I know a lot of Janes.
00:13:45.984 --> 00:13:50.530 align:center
Well, all I heard was,
she's got red hair, green eyes.
00:13:50.614 --> 00:13:53.368 align:center
There's more detail
on my driver's license.
00:13:54.327 --> 00:13:57.412 align:center
Maybe you meant a regular woman.
00:14:00.249 --> 00:14:01.708 align:center
Is the other girl tall?
00:14:02.710 --> 00:14:05.963 align:center
I don't know why we let 'em
critique each other's work.
00:14:06.047 --> 00:14:09.592 align:center
- Blind leading the blind.
- Down a dead-end alley.
00:14:09.676 --> 00:14:13.011 align:center
- I'm so sorry about Walter.
- Wow, pure sympathy.
00:14:13.095 --> 00:14:15.556 align:center
Drive-by condolence.
00:14:19.435 --> 00:14:21.354 align:center
- Hey.
- Hey.
00:14:24.565 --> 00:14:27.025 align:center
- How's it going?
- Yeah, good. You?
00:14:27.109 --> 00:14:28.528 align:center
Yeah. Okay.
00:14:29.529 --> 00:14:31.406 align:center
Get ready.
00:14:31.489 --> 00:14:33.741 align:center
- Jeez, this is a dinosaur.
- Yeah.
00:14:33.824 --> 00:14:37.578 align:center
But all his emails
should be on there until 2007.
00:14:37.662 --> 00:14:39.914 align:center
- And your guy…
- Rico.
00:14:39.997 --> 00:14:41.541 align:center
Should be able to crack the code.
00:14:41.623 --> 00:14:42.934 align:center
Yeah, he will. Said he'd do it tonight.
00:14:42.958 --> 00:14:44.918 align:center
Okay. Tomorrow, then?
00:14:45.002 --> 00:14:46.920 align:center
- Yeah. I'll come over.
- Great. Be careful.
00:14:47.005 --> 00:14:50.258 align:center
- There's no backup.
- Got it. It's precious.
00:14:51.217 --> 00:14:52.969 align:center
And we'll make a backup, so…
00:14:54.262 --> 00:14:56.680 align:center
Okay. How are you doing?
00:14:58.057 --> 00:15:00.727 align:center
Hmm. I don't know. You?
00:15:01.518 --> 00:15:03.186 align:center
You know…
00:15:04.146 --> 00:15:05.356 align:center
I still haven't cried.
00:15:06.106 --> 00:15:09.026 align:center
Well, people feel the way they feel.
00:15:09.110 --> 00:15:11.945 align:center
But it just feels wrong.
It's like I'm missing something.
00:15:12.029 --> 00:15:13.947 align:center
I cried when my phone screen cracked.
00:15:15.116 --> 00:15:17.200 align:center
- Uh, what did Barbara want?
- I don't know.
00:15:17.285 --> 00:15:19.662 align:center
- I'm headed there now.
- You think it's about me?
00:15:20.495 --> 00:15:22.414 align:center
Why would it be about you?
00:15:22.498 --> 00:15:23.957 align:center
Is that a rhetorical question?
00:15:28.587 --> 00:15:29.838 align:center
Bye.
00:15:40.183 --> 00:15:43.268 align:center
I wanna tell you
that no matter how much I sleep,
00:15:43.852 --> 00:15:45.354 align:center
I'm exhausted.
00:15:47.064 --> 00:15:49.733 align:center
That I feel as though I'm losing control.
00:15:51.026 --> 00:15:54.321 align:center
Like my life story
is being written by someone else.
00:16:08.543 --> 00:16:11.089 align:center
Thanks so much for coming.
00:16:19.596 --> 00:16:21.808 align:center
Earl Grey?
I hope that's all right.
00:16:21.890 --> 00:16:23.225 align:center
Yeah.
00:16:23.308 --> 00:16:26.354 align:center
So tell me, how are you doing?
How's it going with the book?
00:16:26.436 --> 00:16:28.564 align:center
Are you and Val still getting along?
00:16:28.648 --> 00:16:32.025 align:center
Oh, yeah. She's... She's great. She, uh…
00:16:32.109 --> 00:16:34.403 align:center
Well, we're moving a little slow,
00:16:34.487 --> 00:16:37.448 align:center
but, you know, we're figuring it out.
00:16:37.531 --> 00:16:39.491 align:center
And, uh, she found some…
00:16:40.409 --> 00:16:42.203 align:center
She found some guy that,
00:16:42.995 --> 00:16:46.249 align:center
uh, is helping get these emails
00:16:46.331 --> 00:16:49.043 align:center
off his 1,000-year-old computer.
00:16:49.127 --> 00:16:52.212 align:center
Oh, God, right.
That ancient laptop.
00:16:53.880 --> 00:16:57.260 align:center
Have you spoken with Jerry
about perhaps bringing on another editor?
00:16:57.342 --> 00:17:00.345 align:center
Why do you ask?
Did... Did he say something?
00:17:00.428 --> 00:17:01.972 align:center
No... Well, yes.
00:17:02.055 --> 00:17:04.475 align:center
Only, as you say,
that things are going slowly.
00:17:04.558 --> 00:17:05.809 align:center
Huh.
00:17:05.892 --> 00:17:10.022 align:center
So that's what you wanted
to talk to me about?
00:17:10.105 --> 00:17:12.315 align:center
Oh, no. Of course not.
00:17:12.399 --> 00:17:14.443 align:center
I don't know publishing.
00:17:15.569 --> 00:17:17.988 align:center
That's between you and Jerry,
how best to finish the book.
00:17:18.072 --> 00:17:19.197 align:center
- Hmm.
- Huh.
00:17:20.282 --> 00:17:23.535 align:center
I think you know
how much Walter appreciated
00:17:23.619 --> 00:17:27.832 align:center
you taking time out from your own writing
to edit his correspondence.
00:17:28.541 --> 00:17:29.542 align:center
Hmm.
00:17:32.210 --> 00:17:36.340 align:center
I think it was a mistake
for Walter to stop teaching.
00:17:37.382 --> 00:17:39.302 align:center
Um, he loved it.
00:17:39.384 --> 00:17:42.262 align:center
But all that
misconduct nonsense,
00:17:42.345 --> 00:17:43.680 align:center
it was demoralizing.
00:17:45.348 --> 00:17:49.102 align:center
Of course, once he stopped, he missed it.
00:17:53.106 --> 00:17:55.358 align:center
- Oh. Just let me…
- Hmm.
00:18:07.163 --> 00:18:09.080 align:center
Things being what they are now,
00:18:09.832 --> 00:18:13.960 align:center
I suppose most writers in the world
wonder what their place is, huh?
00:18:15.129 --> 00:18:20.885 align:center
Well, so you are probably wondering
why I asked you here.
00:18:23.053 --> 00:18:24.262 align:center
It's about the dog.
00:18:25.473 --> 00:18:27.350 align:center
I wanted to ask if you could take him.
00:18:28.850 --> 00:18:31.020 align:center
- Apollo? That dog?
- Yes.
00:18:31.687 --> 00:18:34.022 align:center
No. No.
00:18:34.105 --> 00:18:37.943 align:center
No. I... I... I can't. They don't
allow dogs in my building.
00:18:38.026 --> 00:18:39.737 align:center
- Are you sure?
- Yes, I'm sure.
00:18:39.820 --> 00:18:43.991 align:center
Yeah. Uh, well,
could he not stay here?
00:18:44.075 --> 00:18:46.826 align:center
Oh, no, no, no.
That's what I'm trying to say.
00:18:46.911 --> 00:18:49.996 align:center
- He needs to be re-homed.
- Re-homed?
00:18:50.080 --> 00:18:53.583 align:center
He's been miserable here.
The poor thing wasn't eating.
00:18:53.667 --> 00:18:56.878 align:center
And he would wait by that door
day and night.
00:18:57.545 --> 00:18:59.547 align:center
Every time I managed
to pull myself together,
00:18:59.632 --> 00:19:03.093 align:center
I'd look at him there,
and then… fall apart.
00:19:05.262 --> 00:19:06.555 align:center
What about Val?
00:19:07.390 --> 00:19:10.393 align:center
- Iris.
- Uh, some other family member?
00:19:10.475 --> 00:19:13.228 align:center
Mm-mmm. I'm at my wit's end.
00:19:13.312 --> 00:19:15.232 align:center
All the sanctuaries
have such long waiting lists,
00:19:15.273 --> 00:19:19.110 align:center
and he can't spend
the rest of his life in the kennel.
00:19:20.652 --> 00:19:22.822 align:center
You... You put him in a kennel?
00:19:22.904 --> 00:19:24.572 align:center
What else could I do?
00:19:24.657 --> 00:19:27.660 align:center
He didn't understand that papa's
never coming home again. How…
00:19:28.995 --> 00:19:31.163 align:center
How can you explain death to a dog?
00:19:33.541 --> 00:19:35.542 align:center
What if you took him for a little while?
00:19:35.625 --> 00:19:37.544 align:center
Even that would be a very big help.
00:19:37.627 --> 00:19:40.256 align:center
You will see, he is very obedient.
00:19:40.339 --> 00:19:42.173 align:center
He knows all the commands.
He doesn't bark.
00:19:42.258 --> 00:19:44.510 align:center
He doesn't destroy things.
Doesn't have accidents.
00:19:44.593 --> 00:19:47.053 align:center
And he knows to stay off the bed.
00:19:47.138 --> 00:19:48.699 align:center
Yeah, well, I'm... I'm sure all of that...
00:19:48.723 --> 00:19:50.349 align:center
I know this is a lot to ask.
00:19:51.058 --> 00:19:52.934 align:center
But I have to tell you, the truth is…
00:19:53.810 --> 00:19:56.856 align:center
this is what Walter wanted.
00:19:56.939 --> 00:20:00.443 align:center
You were his contingency plan.
00:20:01.401 --> 00:20:02.610 align:center
His what?
00:20:03.528 --> 00:20:05.406 align:center
I don't like dogs.
00:20:05.488 --> 00:20:07.574 align:center
And he knew that.
00:20:07.658 --> 00:20:10.035 align:center
I begged him not to keep it,
but he was determined.
00:20:10.953 --> 00:20:15.082 align:center
And in the middle of the worst fight
00:20:15.166 --> 00:20:17.334 align:center
that we have ever had, he assured me
00:20:17.418 --> 00:20:20.795 align:center
that should things go wrong…
00:20:22.715 --> 00:20:25.176 align:center
that the dog would go and live with you.
00:20:27.136 --> 00:20:29.679 align:center
- Why would he say that?
- You live on your own.
00:20:29.764 --> 00:20:33.266 align:center
You don't have kids or a partner
and you love animals.
00:20:33.351 --> 00:20:36.270 align:center
- Uh, I love animals, Barbara?
- Hmm.
00:20:36.354 --> 00:20:38.188 align:center
I love animals, yes.
00:20:38.272 --> 00:20:41.901 align:center
I love cats. I don't love… I, I…
00:20:41.983 --> 00:20:45.612 align:center
Apollo? He's, uh… Contingency plan?
00:20:45.696 --> 00:20:48.865 align:center
Why would, why would he say that
without mentioning it to me?
00:20:48.949 --> 00:20:50.158 align:center
I wouldn't make this up.
00:20:51.743 --> 00:20:53.204 align:center
You were his best friend.
00:22:35.389 --> 00:22:36.514 align:center
Oh, God.
00:22:37.349 --> 00:22:38.434 align:center
Hey.
00:22:40.101 --> 00:22:41.227 align:center
Come on.
00:22:44.231 --> 00:22:47.650 align:center
Apollo, come now.
00:22:52.906 --> 00:22:54.033 align:center
I'm sorry.
00:23:09.256 --> 00:23:11.132 align:center
This way. Come on. It's here.
00:23:14.470 --> 00:23:15.471 align:center
Come on.
00:23:17.806 --> 00:23:20.475 align:center
Jesus.
00:23:21.559 --> 00:23:25.146 align:center
Okay. Let's... Let's try again.
I'll go first. You follow me.
00:23:25.813 --> 00:23:28.484 align:center
Hey. Come on. Let's go.
00:23:29.317 --> 00:23:32.570 align:center
Let's go in. Let's…
Come on. Come on. Let's go.
00:23:33.154 --> 00:23:34.155 align:center
Apollo.
00:23:35.324 --> 00:23:37.368 align:center
Okay. Shit!
00:23:38.368 --> 00:23:40.496 align:center
Uh, excuse me. Can…
00:23:41.872 --> 00:23:43.039 align:center
Are you going up?
00:23:44.916 --> 00:23:47.670 align:center
- After you.
- Oh. Okay. Thanks.
00:24:07.105 --> 00:24:08.941 align:center
That's it. Good job.
00:24:11.693 --> 00:24:12.695 align:center
One more.
00:24:15.322 --> 00:24:17.532 align:center
Okay. Hold on, bud.
00:24:18.242 --> 00:24:20.911 align:center
Yeah. This is, this is it.
00:24:21.495 --> 00:24:23.122 align:center
This is where I live.
00:24:31.838 --> 00:24:33.047 align:center
Apollo!
00:24:33.131 --> 00:24:35.926 align:center
No! No! Get off the bed!
00:24:36.009 --> 00:24:38.095 align:center
Off! Get off!
00:24:38.804 --> 00:24:39.929 align:center
What a liar!
00:24:40.013 --> 00:24:41.015 align:center
You home?
00:24:42.515 --> 00:24:44.225 align:center
Zoinks.
00:24:44.310 --> 00:24:46.687 align:center
There's a pony on your bed.
00:24:46.769 --> 00:24:49.898 align:center
A very sad pony.
00:24:49.981 --> 00:24:52.608 align:center
- He was Walter's.
- Yeah, I remember.
00:24:52.692 --> 00:24:54.403 align:center
I thought you were a cat person.
00:24:55.154 --> 00:24:58.073 align:center
Um… Mm. It's just temporary.
00:24:58.156 --> 00:25:01.327 align:center
Uh, Apollo, Marjorie.
00:25:01.409 --> 00:25:03.703 align:center
Apollo.
00:25:04.329 --> 00:25:06.956 align:center
Oh. Teensy bit allergic.
00:25:08.207 --> 00:25:09.418 align:center
Good luck, hon.
00:25:10.669 --> 00:25:12.296 align:center
I'm home if you need anything.
00:25:12.879 --> 00:25:14.882 align:center
Yeah, thanks. Call me.
00:26:29.247 --> 00:26:30.665 align:center
Come on, doggie.
00:26:36.713 --> 00:26:39.174 align:center
Come on. You gotta be hungry, right?
00:26:45.638 --> 00:26:46.639 align:center
Here you go.
00:27:01.363 --> 00:27:04.532 align:center
Okay. Well, it's right there.
00:27:17.629 --> 00:27:19.148 align:center
You've reached the Tri-State
00:27:19.172 --> 00:27:20.841 align:center
Great Dane Rescue hotline.
00:27:20.924 --> 00:27:22.133 align:center
Please leave a message…
00:27:30.558 --> 00:27:31.727 align:center
What do you want?
00:27:37.982 --> 00:27:39.193 align:center
Some music?
00:27:44.489 --> 00:27:45.823 align:center
Okay. Let's see.
00:27:46.866 --> 00:27:47.868 align:center
Oh.
00:27:49.286 --> 00:27:51.037 align:center
My dad's favorite.
00:27:52.498 --> 00:27:53.956 align:center
You're gonna like this.

00:28:18.439 --> 00:28:19.690 align:center
Maybe not.

00:29:58.998 --> 00:30:00.042 align:center
Okay.
00:30:05.504 --> 00:30:08.049 align:center
Okay. You stay there.
00:32:01.455 --> 00:32:04.665 align:center
Yeah, I know, 100%,
you have to Uber at night.
00:32:06.710 --> 00:32:08.295 align:center
No, it's so dangerous in New York now.
00:32:08.378 --> 00:32:11.047 align:center
- Hey, are you... Can you...
- Yeah. Sorry. Sorry.
00:32:11.130 --> 00:32:13.884 align:center
Come on, Rocco. Yeah.
00:32:15.384 --> 00:32:17.261 align:center

Oh. Uh, hello, Ms. Iris. Hi.
00:32:31.609 --> 00:32:34.862 align:center
- Hey, Hektor. How's it going?
- Good. Good.
00:32:34.946 --> 00:32:37.531 align:center
- I heard there was a dog.
- Yeah.
00:32:37.616 --> 00:32:40.535 align:center
Uh, this dog has… The-The…
00:32:40.619 --> 00:32:43.455 align:center
The owner, he died quite suddenly.
00:32:43.538 --> 00:32:45.457 align:center
- Wow, that's sad, but, uh…
- Yeah.
00:32:45.539 --> 00:32:48.834 align:center
- There are no dogs allowed.
- It's just until I can find...
00:32:48.918 --> 00:32:51.378 align:center
No, no. Not even temporary.
00:32:53.339 --> 00:32:55.133 align:center
But there's no one else.
00:32:56.760 --> 00:33:00.472 align:center
I'm sorry, Ms. Iris, uh, no dogs.
00:33:15.152 --> 00:33:17.739 align:center

in what Jenna was saying?
00:33:56.153 --> 00:33:57.254 align:center
You mean, about female characters?
00:33:57.278 --> 00:34:00.114 align:center
I mean, I love that you're writing
speculative fiction.
00:34:00.197 --> 00:34:03.325 align:center
I write tons of female characters,
like, all the time.
00:34:04.326 --> 00:34:07.122 align:center
I have to delete all that

sex and stuff.

Game Of Thrones or whatever.

There's this crazy Dane meetup
in Central Park every Sunday.

- Are you getting a dog?
00:34:50.373 --> 00:34:53.584 align:center
- No, I'm not.
- Well, you'd love a Dane.
00:34:54.294 --> 00:34:55.502 align:center
Thanks for the tip.
00:34:58.298 --> 00:35:01.008 align:center

00:37:26.528 --> 00:37:27.863 align:center

Hey, big bro.
00:37:35.538 --> 00:37:38.165 align:center
So this is what Barbara
wanted to talk to you about?
00:37:38.708 --> 00:37:39.833 align:center
Yeah.
00:37:41.002 --> 00:37:42.921 align:center
Are you even allowed here?
00:37:43.004 --> 00:37:46.549 align:center
It's only until I can find someone else.
00:37:46.632 --> 00:37:48.218 align:center
Then what, you'll re-home him?
00:37:48.802 --> 00:37:51.679 align:center
He just got here. Ah, poor guy.
00:37:53.056 --> 00:37:54.473 align:center
He's taken over my bed.
00:37:55.058 --> 00:37:57.351 align:center
And he won't even look at me. See?
00:37:57.936 --> 00:38:02.816 align:center
And whoever said that music
soothes the savage beast…
00:38:02.898 --> 00:38:05.609 align:center
- It's savage breast.
- What?
00:38:05.693 --> 00:38:07.528 align:center
It's "music soothes the savage breast."
00:38:07.612 --> 00:38:10.406 align:center
Oh. Well, there you go. No wonder.
00:38:11.199 --> 00:38:12.909 align:center
Does your breast need soothing?
00:38:14.076 --> 00:38:15.411 align:center
Hmm?
00:38:16.245 --> 00:38:17.747 align:center
I bet it does.
00:38:18.664 --> 00:38:19.915 align:center
Is now a bad time?
00:38:19.999 --> 00:38:21.668 align:center
- You really forgot?
- No.
00:38:22.459 --> 00:38:23.878 align:center
Okay, yes.
00:38:23.962 --> 00:38:26.130 align:center
I thought we were gonna do it
after the boat thing.
00:38:26.214 --> 00:38:29.591 align:center
No, I said Rico would do it right away,
and then you said tonight.
00:38:29.675 --> 00:38:31.301 align:center
And, besides, I'm not going on the boat.
00:38:31.386 --> 00:38:33.388 align:center
Well, I guess I didn't believe you.
00:38:33.471 --> 00:38:34.764 align:center
Well, you should have.
00:38:34.847 --> 00:38:36.641 align:center
Uh, it might be helpful.
00:38:37.600 --> 00:38:40.270 align:center
For what? My feelings?
00:38:40.352 --> 00:38:42.312 align:center
Well, sometimes those kind of rituals...
00:38:42.396 --> 00:38:43.706 align:center
No, it's not about my feelings.
00:38:43.730 --> 00:38:45.692 align:center
It's just, like, really not my thing.
00:38:47.318 --> 00:38:49.612 align:center
It's their thing. Walter's people.
00:38:50.363 --> 00:38:51.923 align:center
And, besides, they don't want me there.
00:38:51.990 --> 00:38:54.366 align:center
No, I think everyone's
really hoping to see you.
00:38:54.450 --> 00:38:55.659 align:center
Trust me, they're not.
00:38:56.410 --> 00:38:59.663 align:center
I just remind them things about him
that they wish they could forget.
00:39:00.539 --> 00:39:03.459 align:center
No. You are not something to forget.
00:39:09.174 --> 00:39:11.509 align:center
Do you wanna look at the drive?
We don't have to.
00:39:11.592 --> 00:39:14.636 align:center
Yeah. Let's do it. Why not?
00:39:19.516 --> 00:39:20.852 align:center
What happened in here?
00:39:22.187 --> 00:39:25.647 align:center
I… He doesn't like being left alone.
00:39:25.732 --> 00:39:26.733 align:center
Uh…
00:39:27.316 --> 00:39:31.279 align:center
Um, well, Rico recovered,
like, everything.
00:39:31.362 --> 00:39:32.863 align:center
Thirty thousand emails, I think.
00:39:32.947 --> 00:39:34.324 align:center
Thirty thousand?
00:39:34.406 --> 00:39:36.408 align:center
Three of which were to my mother.
00:39:36.493 --> 00:39:39.244 align:center
Which tells you everything
you need to know about that relationship.
00:39:39.328 --> 00:39:40.996 align:center
Oh, I'm sorry.
00:39:41.080 --> 00:39:43.790 align:center
No. Don't be sorry. Mm.
00:39:43.874 --> 00:39:46.714 align:center
It wasn't like that between them.
I... I didn't expect there to be more.
00:39:47.295 --> 00:39:49.755 align:center
But anyway, there's, like, 300 letters.
00:39:49.839 --> 00:39:51.089 align:center
And I found this one.
00:39:52.007 --> 00:39:53.675 align:center
"What a stroke of luck,
00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:56.261 align:center
the two of us being in Berlin
at the same time.
00:39:57.137 --> 00:39:59.848 align:center
I can't stop thinking about
the green-blue floes
00:39:59.933 --> 00:40:01.850 align:center

00:40:01.935 --> 00:40:03.435 align:center
Oh, geez.
00:40:05.813 --> 00:40:09.316 align:center
Oh, sorry. Do you not want, want me to...
00:40:09.400 --> 00:40:11.653 align:center
No, no, go on. It's okay.
00:40:13.571 --> 00:40:15.072 align:center
"Jaggedly foreboding,
00:40:15.155 --> 00:40:18.367 align:center
more translucent somehow,
for the steely sky."
00:40:19.034 --> 00:40:21.703 align:center
Breathtaking. What…"
00:40:23.330 --> 00:40:24.749 align:center
What's he doing?
00:40:27.209 --> 00:40:30.004 align:center
Uh, I don't know.
00:40:34.842 --> 00:40:38.178 align:center
Hmm. Okay. Um…
00:40:39.555 --> 00:40:41.139 align:center
"What a happy day together.
00:40:41.891 --> 00:40:44.685 align:center
I'd been missing you terribly, Iris,
these past months.
00:40:46.145 --> 00:40:49.982 align:center
And now, once again,
I find myself sadly bereft.
00:40:50.941 --> 00:40:54.194 align:center
But these new pages of yours,
I'm enthralled.
00:40:55.445 --> 00:40:57.114 align:center
Fabulous work,

00:41:08.001 --> 00:41:09.669 align:center
Do you think Walter read to him?
00:41:09.751 --> 00:41:12.255 align:center
Yeah, I'm sure. He…
00:41:13.088 --> 00:41:14.715 align:center
He'd read to anyone who'd listen.
00:41:17.135 --> 00:41:18.260 align:center
Hmm.
00:41:19.345 --> 00:41:20.470 align:center
What?
00:41:21.138 --> 00:41:24.182 align:center
Just imagining what that
might have been like…
00:41:25.809 --> 00:41:27.145 align:center
being read to by Walter.
00:41:28.604 --> 00:41:31.023 align:center
Numbing, that's how.
00:41:35.612 --> 00:41:38.656 align:center
Let me read to you, and him.
00:41:46.998 --> 00:41:50.627 align:center
"The goal of the expedition
was to map a tributary,

The written word?
00:42:04.556 --> 00:42:07.602 align:center
Does that soothe your savage breast?
00:42:13.399 --> 00:42:16.736 align:center
Okay, okay, okay.
Wouldn't wanna overdo it.
00:43:47.118 --> 00:43:49.203 align:center
I wanna read, um, a poem called
00:43:49.286 --> 00:43:54.124 align:center
"My Spirit Will Not Haunt
The Mound" by Thomas Hardy.
00:43:54.791 --> 00:43:59.713 align:center
"My spirit will not haunt
the mound above my breast,

but travel, memory-possessed,
to where my tremulous being…"
00:45:12.285 --> 00:45:15.539 align:center
It's just, he is so big,
and your apartment is like a shoebox.
00:45:16.624 --> 00:45:18.416 align:center
You've never been to my apartment.
00:45:18.500 --> 00:45:20.628 align:center
Well, I've heard, from Walter.
00:45:21.336 --> 00:45:23.589 align:center
You two would discuss
the size of my apartment?
00:45:23.672 --> 00:45:25.590 align:center
We talked about a lot of things.
00:45:26.175 --> 00:45:28.927 align:center
It just seems cruel, Iris.
00:45:29.011 --> 00:45:31.681 align:center
Barbara, um, you were right.
00:45:32.306 --> 00:45:34.892 align:center
There's no space
in any of the local rescues.
00:45:34.976 --> 00:45:36.685 align:center
You can't just re-home Walter's dog.
00:45:36.768 --> 00:45:39.855 align:center
I really wish you'd reconsider.
I know it's what Walter wanted.
00:45:39.938 --> 00:45:42.733 align:center
Come on, did he actually say that,
that that's what he wanted?
00:45:47.529 --> 00:45:48.780 align:center
Iris.
00:45:48.864 --> 00:45:50.115 align:center
Thank you.
00:45:50.782 --> 00:45:51.992 align:center
Walk me to the train?
00:45:52.827 --> 00:45:54.661 align:center
Yeah. Come on, big guy.
00:45:59.041 --> 00:46:02.669 align:center
That dog, he's so Walter.
00:46:02.752 --> 00:46:04.379 align:center
You mean, the swinging balls?
00:46:05.672 --> 00:46:07.632 align:center
- Walter would've hated today.
- Mm.
00:46:08.341 --> 00:46:11.886 align:center
The ashes, flowers, mournful poem.
00:46:11.971 --> 00:46:16.057 align:center
He'd have loved seeing his three wives
stuck on a tiny boat together.
00:46:16.725 --> 00:46:18.269 align:center
We should've invited the girlfriends.
00:46:18.351 --> 00:46:20.604 align:center
"You're gonna
need a bigger boat."
00:46:21.772 --> 00:46:22.939 align:center
God.
00:46:26.484 --> 00:46:30.697 align:center
I never told you that I, uh,
I knew about the two of you.
00:46:30.780 --> 00:46:31.990 align:center
That you'd been together.
00:46:32.783 --> 00:46:36.202 align:center
Did Walter tell you?
00:46:36.787 --> 00:46:40.790 align:center
I guessed. Then I asked him,
and he, you know, owned it.
00:46:41.667 --> 00:46:44.419 align:center
He was so proud of himself
that you remained friends.
00:46:44.962 --> 00:46:47.047 align:center
But he never really shared details.
00:46:48.090 --> 00:46:49.175 align:center
Ah…
00:46:50.384 --> 00:46:51.469 align:center
It was…
00:46:52.844 --> 00:46:54.512 align:center
that summer,
00:46:54.597 --> 00:46:57.182 align:center
that last class we took from him.
00:46:58.683 --> 00:47:00.435 align:center
We just kept hanging out.
00:47:01.228 --> 00:47:03.313 align:center
Going for walks, coffees.
00:47:03.938 --> 00:47:07.150 align:center
One night, out of the blue,
we'd been drinking,
00:47:07.943 --> 00:47:10.029 align:center
he just suddenly said to me…
00:47:10.111 --> 00:47:12.823 align:center
"We should fuck."
00:47:14.616 --> 00:47:18.120 align:center
And I didn't expect it with us,
00:47:18.203 --> 00:47:19.913 align:center
I mean, after so much time together.
00:47:19.997 --> 00:47:22.291 align:center
I'd seen it with other students, but…
00:47:23.458 --> 00:47:25.377 align:center
- Yeah.
- So I... I just stared at him.
00:47:25.460 --> 00:47:27.087 align:center
And said, "Why?"
00:47:27.171 --> 00:47:28.798 align:center
"Why?"
00:47:28.881 --> 00:47:30.508 align:center
Yeah. He laughed, too.
00:47:30.590 --> 00:47:32.008 align:center
And then he said,
00:47:32.550 --> 00:47:34.928 align:center
"We should find that out
about each other."
00:47:35.012 --> 00:47:38.181 align:center
- He didn't.
- He did. And then we did.
00:47:39.642 --> 00:47:43.061 align:center
Men like Walter
and their beloved language.
00:47:43.854 --> 00:47:47.733 align:center
Isn't it disappointing
that when it comes time to seduce,
00:47:47.816 --> 00:47:49.109 align:center
they all sound the same?
00:47:49.192 --> 00:47:50.443 align:center
Hmm.
00:47:50.527 --> 00:47:54.072 align:center
I mean, at that point in my life,
I was so intense about everything.
00:47:54.156 --> 00:47:56.658 align:center
I wanted every experience. And he…
00:47:57.535 --> 00:48:00.328 align:center
He was just so fucking sophisticated.
00:48:00.954 --> 00:48:04.333 align:center
- And?
- And then that was it.
00:48:04.416 --> 00:48:09.588 align:center
The next day, he pronounced it a mistake
for us to try and be more than friends.
00:48:09.671 --> 00:48:11.297 align:center
- What a cad.
- Yeah.
00:48:11.381 --> 00:48:14.343 align:center
I was mortified and angry.
00:48:14.427 --> 00:48:18.179 align:center
And I didn't think for a second
we could ever be friends again.
00:48:18.723 --> 00:48:21.892 align:center
- And then my dad got sick.
- I remember.
00:48:21.976 --> 00:48:24.437 align:center
Right, and he shows up at the funeral,
00:48:24.520 --> 00:48:27.773 align:center
and it was really nice and weirdly okay.
00:48:28.816 --> 00:48:30.483 align:center
And then you two started up,
00:48:30.567 --> 00:48:33.946 align:center
and it was all normal again.
00:48:34.530 --> 00:48:36.532 align:center
Why didn't you ever say anything?
00:48:38.242 --> 00:48:41.412 align:center
I don't know. It didn't seem to matter.
We were all friends.
00:48:43.204 --> 00:48:46.124 align:center
Yeah. I guess it didn't.
00:48:47.543 --> 00:48:49.587 align:center
But then Walter and I split.
00:48:49.669 --> 00:48:52.840 align:center
- And I was jealous.
- Of me?
00:48:52.922 --> 00:48:54.759 align:center
Of your relationship with him.
00:48:55.468 --> 00:48:59.179 align:center
Yeah, your... your friendship.
00:48:59.263 --> 00:49:00.973 align:center
Your best friendship.
00:49:01.557 --> 00:49:04.477 align:center
That he found a way
to... to do that with you.
00:49:05.144 --> 00:49:07.146 align:center
That he wanted it without the sex.
00:49:07.937 --> 00:49:11.816 align:center
For God's sake,
he left you his trusted steed.
00:49:11.900 --> 00:49:13.860 align:center
Oh, God.
00:49:14.904 --> 00:49:16.154 align:center
Hey.
00:49:17.739 --> 00:49:18.908 align:center
Tell me, um,
00:49:19.657 --> 00:49:21.494 align:center
that class we took with Walter…
00:49:22.577 --> 00:49:25.122 align:center
It's Shauna, right? Val's mom is Shauna?
00:49:25.914 --> 00:49:27.958 align:center
- God, you're good at this.
- Yeah.
00:49:28.792 --> 00:49:31.044 align:center
The second I left
the reception, it hit me.
00:49:31.127 --> 00:49:32.922 align:center
She and Val, they could be twins.
00:49:33.004 --> 00:49:35.924 align:center
No, but it was right after you split.
00:49:36.007 --> 00:49:38.010 align:center
I know. I know. I know. I did the math.
00:49:38.093 --> 00:49:40.679 align:center
And you know what? It's... It's okay.
00:49:42.264 --> 00:49:43.807 align:center
Ah.
00:49:44.432 --> 00:49:47.268 align:center
No, it's not. Fuck.
00:49:53.984 --> 00:49:55.694 align:center
Can we stay in touch this time?
00:50:15.088 --> 00:50:18.341 align:center
Oh, Ms. Iris, I... I thought
I told you, the dog.
00:50:18.425 --> 00:50:19.985 align:center
- When you gonna get rid of him?
- Yeah.
00:50:21.053 --> 00:50:23.389 align:center
Ah, not yet. I'm, I'm working on it.
00:50:23.471 --> 00:50:26.099 align:center
No, no. You can't just work on it, okay?
You gotta make him go.
00:50:26.183 --> 00:50:28.477 align:center
Hektor, he has a name. Apollo.
00:50:28.561 --> 00:50:30.771 align:center
Yes, I know. Apollo, right?
00:50:30.855 --> 00:50:34.316 align:center
Apollo, uh, Hektor, okay? Apollo. Hek…
00:50:34.400 --> 00:50:36.568 align:center
Oh. Yeah. Okay, yes.
00:50:36.652 --> 00:50:39.321 align:center
Look, he can't stay, Ms. Iris.
00:50:39.404 --> 00:50:40.841 align:center
Management company, they are very strict.
00:50:40.865 --> 00:50:42.991 align:center
Not a problem. I'm working on it.
00:50:43.074 --> 00:50:44.869 align:center
- Just a few days.
- Um…
00:50:44.951 --> 00:50:46.453 align:center
- And I am working on it.
- Okay.
00:50:46.536 --> 00:50:48.038 align:center
- I promise.
- You said that already.
00:50:48.122 --> 00:50:50.332 align:center
But this… He's… Okay.
00:51:07.850 --> 00:51:09.017 align:center
You okay?
00:51:11.686 --> 00:51:12.730 align:center
Oh.
00:51:22.447 --> 00:51:24.032 align:center
Oh, bud.
00:51:29.038 --> 00:51:31.164 align:center
It's okay. I know.
00:51:32.123 --> 00:51:33.292 align:center
I know.
00:51:53.394 --> 00:51:56.982 align:center
A hundred and fifty-one.
About where he should be.
00:51:57.066 --> 00:51:58.734 align:center
Little arthritis in the hips,
00:51:58.816 --> 00:52:03.029 align:center
but, uh, otherwise,
he's in good shape for his age.
00:52:03.112 --> 00:52:05.115 align:center
Which is what, do you think?
00:52:06.032 --> 00:52:08.868 align:center
Uh, five. Maybe six.
00:52:09.453 --> 00:52:12.538 align:center
- Getting on for a Dane.
- Six is old?
00:52:12.623 --> 00:52:15.416 align:center
Big dogs are like butterflies.
But he's okay.
00:52:15.500 --> 00:52:17.836 align:center
And what about the fit
he had last night?
00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:20.798 align:center
Well, he lost his master.
He's in mourning.
00:52:21.673 --> 00:52:24.884 align:center
Before that, he was abandoned.
How would you feel?
00:52:27.470 --> 00:52:28.555 align:center
Sit.
00:52:29.722 --> 00:52:31.683 align:center
- Good dog.
- Wow.
00:52:31.766 --> 00:52:33.477 align:center
I've never seen him do that before.
00:52:33.560 --> 00:52:34.686 align:center
Well, he's smart.
00:52:35.521 --> 00:52:37.022 align:center
Give you a piece of advice.
00:52:37.106 --> 00:52:40.943 align:center
The trick with large breeds like this
is never let 'em know the truth.
00:52:41.026 --> 00:52:42.361 align:center
And the truth is,
00:52:42.443 --> 00:52:45.280 align:center
you can't really make 'em do
anything they don't wanna do.
00:52:45.363 --> 00:52:46.782 align:center
Stand your ground.
00:52:46.865 --> 00:52:49.410 align:center
And for God's sake,
get yourself back up on the bed
00:52:49.493 --> 00:52:50.703 align:center
and him on the floor.
00:52:50.786 --> 00:52:52.578 align:center
Well, during that last fit,
00:52:52.663 --> 00:52:55.332 align:center
when I was getting on the bed,
he let me sit.
00:52:55.415 --> 00:52:58.252 align:center
Let you? No, no, no, no, no.
Get him off the bed.
00:52:59.253 --> 00:53:00.796 align:center
Give you this for the joints.
00:53:02.672 --> 00:53:04.133 align:center
He's a good dog.
00:53:04.215 --> 00:53:06.093 align:center
Don't turn him into a bad one.
00:53:10.054 --> 00:53:12.558 align:center
Hey. Hey, Apollo.
00:53:16.228 --> 00:53:18.229 align:center
Hey. Sit.
00:53:25.111 --> 00:53:26.404 align:center

Really?
00:54:54.617 --> 00:54:56.120 align:center
Okay.
00:54:57.245 --> 00:55:00.666 align:center
Fine. Knock yourself out.
00:56:59.409 --> 00:57:00.452 align:center
Oh.
00:57:13.715 --> 00:57:16.509 align:center
Aw, dude, come on.
00:57:44.121 --> 00:57:47.958 align:center
Hi, love. Brainstorm.
I'll adopt Apollo.
00:57:48.040 --> 00:57:49.876 align:center
Cleared with co-op board and Barbara,
00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:52.295 align:center
so we're 100% good to go.
00:57:52.378 --> 00:57:54.131 align:center
Call me. XO.
00:57:56.173 --> 00:57:59.344 align:center
Her even offering
seems suspicious, no?
00:57:59.427 --> 00:58:01.363 align:center
Maybe Tuesday
is actually trying to help.
00:58:01.387 --> 00:58:03.347 align:center
Help? She hates me.
00:58:03.431 --> 00:58:04.682 align:center
You sound paranoid.
00:58:04.765 --> 00:58:08.729 align:center
Tell me you've never heard of people
taking revenge on someone's child or pet.
00:58:08.812 --> 00:58:12.565 align:center
Okay, first of all, uh,
he is Walter's child or pet, not yours.
00:58:13.149 --> 00:58:16.194 align:center
All... All I'm saying is,
you have no other options,
00:58:16.278 --> 00:58:18.358 align:center
and you don't wanna lose
a rent-controlled apartment.
00:58:18.404 --> 00:58:20.656 align:center
So maybe you oughta hear Tuesday out.
00:58:21.825 --> 00:58:23.493 align:center
How is the book going, anyway?
00:58:23.576 --> 00:58:27.914 align:center
We started in on his email,
but, uh, it's kind of a slog
00:58:27.998 --> 00:58:29.457 align:center
without him here, you know?
00:58:29.541 --> 00:58:31.877 align:center
Yeah, I can imagine
how that would change things.
00:58:31.960 --> 00:58:35.172 align:center
But how much was he even
working with you before?
00:58:35.254 --> 00:58:36.964 align:center
You know…
00:58:37.049 --> 00:58:38.717 align:center
Hold on a second.
00:58:38.800 --> 00:58:40.217 align:center
Yeah, okay.
00:58:40.302 --> 00:58:42.094 align:center
Yeah, yeah. I'm coming.
00:58:44.013 --> 00:58:46.516 align:center
- Yeah. Hey.
- Hey. Sorry.
00:58:46.600 --> 00:58:48.643 align:center
- I just… Yes.
- Well, are you okay?
00:58:48.726 --> 00:58:53.065 align:center
Can you tell those people, your neighbors,
just, just open the door?
00:58:53.147 --> 00:58:57.151 align:center
Because I've been standing out there
for, like, fucking ever.
00:58:57.235 --> 00:58:58.736 align:center
- Oh.
- Hi.
00:58:58.819 --> 00:59:00.781 align:center
Aw, that's so cute.
00:59:00.864 --> 00:59:02.615 align:center
- Like father, like daughter.
- Oh.
00:59:02.698 --> 00:59:04.451 align:center
- Hmm?
- Ah…
00:59:04.533 --> 00:59:06.535 align:center
- Hi, Val.
- Oh, hi.
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:10.081 align:center
- Bye, Val.
- Yeah. Uh, bye.
00:59:11.917 --> 00:59:13.668 align:center
- Hi.
- Sorry. I'm interrupting.
00:59:13.751 --> 00:59:14.960 align:center
No, it's fine.
00:59:15.044 --> 00:59:18.881 align:center
It's just that the L Train was gonna
take 20, which gave me,
00:59:18.964 --> 00:59:21.509 align:center
ahem, just enough time
to break up with that douche.
00:59:21.592 --> 00:59:24.012 align:center
- You know that guy I've been seeing?
- Shit.
00:59:24.095 --> 00:59:26.097 align:center
- Train didn't come.
- Oh.
00:59:27.765 --> 00:59:29.266 align:center
You wanna crash here?
00:59:32.062 --> 00:59:33.896 align:center
Okay, come on.
00:59:33.980 --> 00:59:35.399 align:center
You're a pal.
00:59:36.440 --> 00:59:37.441 align:center
So…
00:59:38.442 --> 00:59:39.986 align:center
One too many?
00:59:40.069 --> 00:59:42.655 align:center
You know, maybe just one. Um…
00:59:43.573 --> 00:59:46.992 align:center
You're so wrong.
Tuesday hates me way worse.
00:59:47.077 --> 00:59:49.787 align:center
Careful. Yeah, well,
it's not a competition.
00:59:50.454 --> 00:59:53.082 align:center
With her, there's plenty of hate
to go around.
00:59:53.165 --> 00:59:55.418 align:center
I'm just saying
that that lady is crazy.
00:59:55.502 --> 00:59:58.213 align:center
So, yeah, you have to question her shit.
00:59:58.295 --> 01:00:02.718 align:center
I mean, why would you even think
about letting her have Apollo?
01:00:02.800 --> 01:00:05.387 align:center
- It's not that simple.
- It is that simple.
01:00:05.469 --> 01:00:07.722 align:center
I just can't keep having him here.
01:00:07.805 --> 01:00:11.143 align:center
And he's getting in the way
of my work. Our work.
01:00:11.226 --> 01:00:13.520 align:center
I just don't think it's that different.
01:00:16.188 --> 01:00:18.816 align:center
Oh, my God. What is that?
01:00:18.900 --> 01:00:20.318 align:center
Oh.
01:00:20.401 --> 01:00:23.822 align:center
That, my friend, is yesterday's kombucha.
01:00:23.905 --> 01:00:25.532 align:center
Um… Oh.
01:00:26.907 --> 01:00:29.327 align:center
You should put that away.
01:00:30.412 --> 01:00:32.247 align:center
I just, I don't think it's that different.
01:00:32.330 --> 01:00:35.917 align:center
We've been working on the book
for over a year now.
01:00:37.710 --> 01:00:39.003 align:center
What does that mean?
01:00:39.087 --> 01:00:42.424 align:center
It means, way before
my dad killed himself,
01:00:42.506 --> 01:00:46.510 align:center
or before Apollo even came along,
I just… I don't think it's about the dog.
01:00:47.888 --> 01:00:50.849 align:center
Hey, I... I put just as much time
into the book as I do...
01:00:50.932 --> 01:00:53.477 align:center
No, I'm not complaining.
01:00:53.560 --> 01:00:54.685 align:center
Walter warned me.
01:00:56.021 --> 01:00:57.314 align:center
Warned you?
01:00:57.938 --> 01:00:59.231 align:center
About your pace.
01:00:59.316 --> 01:01:01.525 align:center
- My pa… Wh…
- Mm.
01:01:01.610 --> 01:01:03.444 align:center
You two talked about my pace?
01:01:03.528 --> 01:01:05.572 align:center
- Maybe it wasn't your pace.
- Are you kidding me?
01:01:06.198 --> 01:01:09.159 align:center
Well, what then?
Wh... What did you talk about?
01:01:10.994 --> 01:01:13.705 align:center
Yeah, and it, it was... it was your pace.
01:01:14.538 --> 01:01:18.459 align:center
He worried about you going too slow,
about pushing you to finish.
01:01:20.961 --> 01:01:23.507 align:center
I care about the book, you know?
I wanna finish it, too.
01:01:23.589 --> 01:01:25.342 align:center
And you think I don't?
01:01:27.594 --> 01:01:29.762 align:center
Sorry, I shouldn't have said anything. My…
01:01:31.138 --> 01:01:32.224 align:center
My head hurts.
01:01:36.227 --> 01:01:39.146 align:center
You gotta do something
about this dog, though.
01:01:40.523 --> 01:01:42.984 align:center
I can't keep watching him
every time you go out.
01:01:47.197 --> 01:01:49.199 align:center
Right, doggo? Hmm?
01:01:51.200 --> 01:01:52.618 align:center
Hi, big bro.
01:01:56.789 --> 01:01:59.209 align:center
What do you wanna do? Mm…
01:02:01.919 --> 01:02:04.672 align:center
What would our dad want if he were here?
01:02:07.174 --> 01:02:09.844 align:center
You wanna go live with a crazy lady?
01:02:15.225 --> 01:02:16.768 align:center
What are you looking at?
01:02:30.030 --> 01:02:31.509 align:center
Well, it's not that I don't like her.
01:02:31.533 --> 01:02:33.094 align:center
- She's lovely, she's bright.
- Well, what, then?
01:02:33.118 --> 01:02:35.745 align:center
- I... I like to work by myself.
- She's very bright.
01:02:35.828 --> 01:02:37.204 align:center
I just said that, didn't I?
01:02:37.289 --> 01:02:39.267 align:center
You might appreciate
another perspective, you know?
01:02:39.291 --> 01:02:40.625 align:center
Someone to bounce things off of.
01:02:40.708 --> 01:02:42.460 align:center
- That's not the point.
- She's young.
01:02:42.544 --> 01:02:45.546 align:center
Energetic, and my daughter.
01:02:45.629 --> 01:02:48.091 align:center
Right, but she hardly knows you.
She doesn't know your work...
01:02:48.173 --> 01:02:50.677 align:center
And that's exactly what I'm trying to fix.
01:02:50.759 --> 01:02:52.929 align:center
Uh, so I'm the fixer?
01:02:53.013 --> 01:02:55.389 align:center
Everyone knows
that you fix things.
01:02:55.473 --> 01:02:57.809 align:center
- Ah. Since when have I ever…
- She's already here.
01:02:58.727 --> 01:03:02.229 align:center
What? Why didn't you tell me
she was coming?
01:03:02.314 --> 01:03:03.856 align:center
What the fuck?
01:03:05.233 --> 01:03:06.568 align:center
- Hi.
- Ah.
01:03:09.154 --> 01:03:10.321 align:center
Hey.
01:03:13.032 --> 01:03:14.909 align:center
You think this is a bad idea, don't you?
01:03:14.993 --> 01:03:16.160 align:center
No. It's great.
01:03:16.243 --> 01:03:19.121 align:center
It is a bad idea because
we haven't had coffee yet.
01:03:19.204 --> 01:03:21.833 align:center
Soon all will be perfect.
01:03:45.398 --> 01:03:47.816 align:center
It's just a trial. Okay?
01:03:47.901 --> 01:03:51.529 align:center
One day. That's all.
Just to see if it's a good match.
01:03:53.572 --> 01:03:58.078 align:center
And who knows, maybe she's not
as irritating to a dog.
01:03:58.160 --> 01:03:59.161 align:center
Go on.
01:03:59.704 --> 01:04:03.082 align:center
Hi. Uh, Tuesday Chang, please.
01:04:04.458 --> 01:04:07.336 align:center
Good job. Good boy. Yes, that's it.
01:04:08.295 --> 01:04:10.090 align:center
See? That wasn't so bad.
01:04:10.965 --> 01:04:13.509 align:center
Why can't you be like that
with our elevator?
01:04:14.260 --> 01:04:16.221 align:center
My elevator.
01:04:16.304 --> 01:04:18.764 align:center
Maybe that will be your elevator one day.
01:04:20.015 --> 01:04:21.558 align:center
Okay.
01:04:24.688 --> 01:04:25.689 align:center
Was there a problem?
01:04:25.772 --> 01:04:28.316 align:center
Uh, how do you mean?
01:04:28.942 --> 01:04:31.419 align:center
It just normally doesn't take people
so long to get up the elevator.
01:04:31.443 --> 01:04:33.488 align:center
Oh, no. No problem.
01:04:33.571 --> 01:04:35.990 align:center
- I heard talking.
- Nope.
01:04:37.866 --> 01:04:38.867 align:center
Okay.
01:04:39.369 --> 01:04:40.745 align:center
- Well, come on in.
- Yeah.
01:04:40.828 --> 01:04:43.289 align:center
Oh, my God, he's ginormous, huh?
01:04:43.372 --> 01:04:45.500 align:center
- I know.
- Maybe it's just being inside.
01:04:45.583 --> 01:04:47.544 align:center
- Or this hallway.
- Oh, no.
01:04:47.626 --> 01:04:50.671 align:center
Um, look, I, um, I brought some food.
01:04:50.755 --> 01:04:52.482 align:center
- Treats and toys and stuff.
- Yes.
01:04:52.506 --> 01:04:54.442 align:center
But he doesn't really
like to play with them.
01:04:54.466 --> 01:04:57.094 align:center
Sometimes this Kong thing.
01:04:57.177 --> 01:05:00.723 align:center
- But mainly he's just sad.
- Aw…
01:05:00.807 --> 01:05:03.892 align:center
He likes to sleep.
And he loves being read to.
01:05:03.976 --> 01:05:07.938 align:center
Well, my godson's head is gonna
explode when he sees him.
01:05:08.023 --> 01:05:12.277 align:center
Uh, I'll be back around 5:00,
so probably you just need to go out once.
01:05:12.359 --> 01:05:13.360 align:center
- Around 2:00.
- 2:00.
01:05:13.444 --> 01:05:16.030 align:center
Normally he likes to go out
three times a day.
01:05:16.114 --> 01:05:17.824 align:center
Oh, wow, I didn't realize.
01:05:18.408 --> 01:05:19.575 align:center
That he'd need to go out?
01:05:20.159 --> 01:05:22.399 align:center
- Three times a day, I mean.
- Oh, yeah.
01:05:22.453 --> 01:05:24.455 align:center
My friend uses something
called pee pads.
01:05:24.538 --> 01:05:26.999 align:center
- Oh, trust me. You don't wanna try that.
- Mm.
01:05:27.666 --> 01:05:30.711 align:center
Oh, oh! No, no, no, no, no, no. Down.
01:05:30.795 --> 01:05:32.546 align:center
Apollo, off. Do…
01:05:33.213 --> 01:05:35.215 align:center
Well… Can you…
01:05:35.799 --> 01:05:38.303 align:center
It's a vintage Tacchini.
01:05:39.386 --> 01:05:42.515 align:center
I can't imagine Walter let him
just go willy-nilly wherever he wanted.
01:05:42.599 --> 01:05:45.350 align:center
Ah, I'm quite sure he did.
01:05:45.435 --> 01:05:48.246 align:center
No, that's ridiculous, Barbara told me
that the dog was perfectly behaved.
01:05:48.270 --> 01:05:50.105 align:center
Yeah, well, she told me the same thing.
01:05:50.189 --> 01:05:51.523 align:center
But there you have it,
01:05:52.233 --> 01:05:55.570 align:center
willy-nilly all over
your vintage zucchini.
01:05:55.652 --> 01:05:57.404 align:center
Are you mocking me?
01:05:57.489 --> 01:05:59.239 align:center
What? No. No, of course not.
01:05:59.323 --> 01:06:02.077 align:center
- I… I'm... I'm sorry.
- Okay.
01:06:02.159 --> 01:06:05.622 align:center
I'm running late, but, uh,
I'll be back around 5:00.
01:06:05.705 --> 01:06:06.830 align:center
But thank you.
01:06:07.748 --> 01:06:10.375 align:center
Why would Walter
leave the dog to you?
01:06:10.460 --> 01:06:11.461 align:center
What?
01:06:12.377 --> 01:06:16.007 align:center
I mean, if he's like this, unmanageable.
01:06:16.091 --> 01:06:18.009 align:center
I mean, your apartment, for God's sake.
01:06:18.092 --> 01:06:19.552 align:center
Even for one person, it...
01:06:19.636 --> 01:06:21.304 align:center
What is it about my apartment?
01:06:21.386 --> 01:06:25.390 align:center
I just think that maybe
Barbara misunderstood.
01:06:25.475 --> 01:06:28.019 align:center
You know, it's not
as if Walter put it in writing.
01:06:28.103 --> 01:06:29.937 align:center
You mean, in the run-up
to killing himself?
01:06:30.021 --> 01:06:32.481 align:center
I'm sure it was on his to-do list.
01:06:32.564 --> 01:06:34.984 align:center
Oh, okay. God. You know what? Just…
01:06:35.067 --> 01:06:37.195 align:center
Just tell me what else I need to know.
01:06:38.987 --> 01:06:40.948 align:center
About Apollo, or in general?
01:06:42.700 --> 01:06:45.286 align:center
Okay, I was wrong.
01:06:45.370 --> 01:06:47.705 align:center

01:07:47.891 --> 01:07:49.683 align:center
- I…
- No dogs inside.
01:07:49.767 --> 01:07:51.728 align:center
I have an appointment. I'm running late.
01:07:51.811 --> 01:07:53.228 align:center
So can you just help me?
01:07:53.313 --> 01:07:55.023 align:center
- No dogs inside.
- I have an appointment.
01:07:55.105 --> 01:07:57.567 align:center
- Can you let me in?
- I can't. I'm sorry.
01:07:57.650 --> 01:07:59.443 align:center
Sir, can you call your boss...
01:07:59.527 --> 01:08:01.695 align:center
Can you please remove the dog?
01:08:01.779 --> 01:08:04.239 align:center
No, I will not.
Just let me inside, please.
01:08:04.323 --> 01:08:05.925 align:center
I can't do it.
It's my job on the line.
01:08:05.949 --> 01:08:08.243 align:center
Okay, right. I'll sit here, too.
01:08:08.328 --> 01:08:10.914 align:center
Yeah, 5-3 to base,
I might need, uh,
01:08:10.997 --> 01:08:12.832 align:center
some personal assistance up here.
01:08:12.916 --> 01:08:15.543 align:center
And they got a big strong dog…
01:08:16.794 --> 01:08:19.213 align:center
I'm really sorry about all that.
01:08:19.296 --> 01:08:21.798 align:center
Uh, reception can be such a-holes.
01:08:21.882 --> 01:08:24.509 align:center
I mean, so random to involve the police.
01:08:24.594 --> 01:08:25.595 align:center
Ah.
01:08:28.347 --> 01:08:29.766 align:center
- This way.
- Oh.
01:08:37.065 --> 01:08:38.148 align:center
Come on.
01:08:48.451 --> 01:08:51.119 align:center
I have Iris and Apollo.
01:08:51.203 --> 01:08:53.248 align:center
- I'm sorry.
- Come in, come in!
01:08:53.331 --> 01:08:55.123 align:center
- Hi. Um… Yeah.
- Wow!
01:08:55.208 --> 01:08:58.127 align:center
You know, I think
your security team overreacted.
01:08:58.211 --> 01:09:00.380 align:center
I heard.
Not to worry. Not to worry.
01:09:00.463 --> 01:09:02.506 align:center
- I'm sorry. I didn't plan on this.
- Please, sit.
01:09:02.589 --> 01:09:03.967 align:center
- Okay, thanks.
- Yeah.
01:09:04.050 --> 01:09:06.010 align:center
Okay, bud. Sit.
01:09:08.428 --> 01:09:09.889 align:center
- Bravo.
- Good job.
01:09:09.972 --> 01:09:11.366 align:center
You teach him that or Walter?
01:09:11.390 --> 01:09:13.810 align:center
Uh, I think he came with it.
01:09:13.892 --> 01:09:15.269 align:center
- Impressive.
- Mm.
01:09:15.353 --> 01:09:16.980 align:center
Does he need anything or…
01:09:17.063 --> 01:09:20.065 align:center
Oh, I think Sophie was getting him some…
01:09:20.148 --> 01:09:22.776 align:center
- Oh. Fiji water.
- Here we go.
01:09:22.860 --> 01:09:24.821 align:center
- Wow, fancy. Fancy.
- Here you go.
01:09:30.034 --> 01:09:32.744 align:center
- He's so thirsty.
- Yeah.
01:09:32.828 --> 01:09:34.371 align:center
- I'll be at my desk.
- Okay.
01:09:34.454 --> 01:09:36.123 align:center
- I'm sorry about the mess.
- Thank you.
01:09:37.834 --> 01:09:42.046 align:center
So, he seems better
than he was, uh, on the boat.
01:09:42.130 --> 01:09:43.131 align:center
Mm-hmm.
01:09:44.506 --> 01:09:46.883 align:center
- How's the book going?
- Uh…
01:09:47.843 --> 01:09:50.263 align:center
Well, I know that's what
you wanted to talk about.
01:09:50.345 --> 01:09:53.307 align:center
And I have been working. Val, too, but…
01:09:53.390 --> 01:09:55.309 align:center
Should I be looking for another editor?
01:09:55.393 --> 01:09:58.062 align:center
I know with the grieving and the feelings…
01:09:58.145 --> 01:10:00.480 align:center
No, definitely not. No.
01:10:00.564 --> 01:10:04.569 align:center
Okay, then I'll be blunt.
I need this book.
01:10:04.651 --> 01:10:06.611 align:center
Dead Walter is suddenly hotter

There's considerable interest
in his correspondence,
01:10:08.781 --> 01:10:11.117 align:center
and we've gotta capitalize on it now.
01:10:11.701 --> 01:10:13.036 align:center
- I understand.
- If you need help
01:10:13.118 --> 01:10:14.579 align:center
or you don't want to…
01:10:14.662 --> 01:10:17.998 align:center
No. I said I understand.
01:10:18.999 --> 01:10:20.000 align:center
Fine.

01:10:29.176 --> 01:10:30.887 align:center
Okay. Let's go, bud.
01:10:32.472 --> 01:10:35.099 align:center
Oh, I'm late for school.
01:10:35.767 --> 01:10:41.897 align:center
And Val's AWOL, so you're just
gonna have to be by yourself again, okay?
01:10:42.899 --> 01:10:44.275 align:center
You just stay there.
01:10:44.901 --> 01:10:48.196 align:center
And you're gonna promise
not to destroy my apartment.
01:10:48.278 --> 01:10:51.573 align:center
Okay? Good. Good boy.
01:10:51.656 --> 01:10:55.370 align:center

- Really?
- Yeah.
01:13:05.249 --> 01:13:09.086 align:center
Bass arias, mostly.
I think he's kind of into it.

I don't think he likes anything

01:13:23.850 --> 01:13:25.810 align:center
You're not thinking of keeping him now?

No. Of course not.

- A tie.

Ta-da! Almost. Okay. Thanks for that.
01:13:43.453 --> 01:13:45.038 align:center
You're gonna come in for some tea?
01:13:45.121 --> 01:13:49.042 align:center
No. I'll start sneezing
like a lunatic in there.

- No.

No, no. You've been here so long now.
01:14:15.026 --> 01:14:18.364 align:center
And before that, your dad.
This is your home.
01:14:18.447 --> 01:14:20.907 align:center
Iris, you cannot lose this apartment.
01:14:20.992 --> 01:14:23.369 align:center
You will never find
another place you can afford.
01:14:23.451 --> 01:14:27.664 align:center
Not in the city. Not anywhere
with this roommate.
01:14:27.747 --> 01:14:29.584 align:center
What about the shelter in Michigan?
01:14:29.666 --> 01:14:31.103 align:center
Oh, I'm still on the wait list.
01:14:31.127 --> 01:14:33.754 align:center
I need to speak directly to the landlord.
01:14:33.837 --> 01:14:35.756 align:center
Who's to say the man's a heartless prick?
01:14:35.839 --> 01:14:39.010 align:center
I am, he tried to evict me
when I renovated my kitchen.
01:14:39.092 --> 01:14:40.636 align:center
You need a plan B.
01:14:40.719 --> 01:14:44.681 align:center
But…
I just need a little more time.
01:14:44.765 --> 01:14:47.476 align:center
The only alternative
is to put him back in the kennel.
01:14:47.559 --> 01:14:49.395 align:center
I... I can't let that happen.
01:14:55.317 --> 01:14:56.610 align:center
Hello. Hey, Ms. Iris.
01:14:56.693 --> 01:14:59.946 align:center
Did you know about this?
They're going to evict me.
01:15:00.031 --> 01:15:03.575 align:center
Oh, Ms. Iris, what do you think I was
talking about when I said "The dog"?
01:15:03.659 --> 01:15:05.410 align:center
You know I'm trying. You know that.
01:15:05.493 --> 01:15:07.848 align:center
You're not trying, and you know how I know
that you're not trying?
01:15:07.872 --> 01:15:09.182 align:center
Because the dog is still here. No?
01:15:09.206 --> 01:15:10.541 align:center
It's not about the dog for them.
01:15:10.624 --> 01:15:12.460 align:center
They want me out
so they can triple the rent.
01:15:12.543 --> 01:15:15.629 align:center
That's not my problem.
They told me to tell you, Ms. Iris.
01:15:15.713 --> 01:15:18.341 align:center
So I'm telling you, okay? No dog.
01:15:22.052 --> 01:15:24.221 align:center
Yes, I'd like to speak to Howard, please.
01:15:24.889 --> 01:15:27.475 align:center
No, I don't wanna speak to a supervisor.
01:15:28.892 --> 01:15:30.602 align:center
Yeah. Okay, fine. Just…
01:15:31.227 --> 01:15:34.189 align:center
Have him call me back.
Please. It's urgent.
01:15:47.703 --> 01:15:48.996 align:center
Merry Christmas.
01:15:54.126 --> 01:15:57.962 align:center
What do dogs think
seeing humans cry?
01:16:00.131 --> 01:16:02.677 align:center
What do they make of human sadness?
01:16:05.554 --> 01:16:07.389 align:center
I keep thinking of you,
01:16:08.556 --> 01:16:13.520 align:center
how among all the other questions
certain to have come to you was…
01:16:14.689 --> 01:16:16.565 align:center
What's gonna happen to the dog?
01:16:52.810 --> 01:16:54.245 align:center
Did you bring the wreath?
01:16:54.269 --> 01:16:56.438 align:center
- Did you bring the Christmas wreath?
- What wreath?
01:16:56.521 --> 01:16:59.065 align:center
Well, the Merry Christmas wreath
for, for the window.
01:16:59.149 --> 01:17:00.151 align:center
No.
01:17:00.234 --> 01:17:02.796 align:center
- Where's your coat and hat?
- Left them at the office.
01:17:02.820 --> 01:17:04.822 align:center
- What's the matter?
- Nothing's the matter.
01:17:20.087 --> 01:17:23.173 align:center
- Ah-ha! Come in, come in.
- Ta-da!
01:17:23.257 --> 01:17:24.841 align:center
Oh, I'm so glad you came.
01:17:24.925 --> 01:17:27.636 align:center
I know you didn't want to.
Get yourself a drink.
01:17:27.719 --> 01:17:29.095 align:center
- You take that.
- And a hat.
01:17:29.180 --> 01:17:31.432 align:center
- A hat. Okay. Uh…
- Yes.
01:17:32.265 --> 01:17:34.977 align:center
- Hi. Hi. Hello.
- Iris.
01:17:35.060 --> 01:17:38.355 align:center
- Oh, Blossom. Happy New Year!
- Hello! Happy New Year.
01:17:38.438 --> 01:17:41.525 align:center
- Mm. Oh, you came alone.
- Very funny.
01:17:41.609 --> 01:17:44.195 align:center
- How's your roommate?
- He's fine.
01:17:44.277 --> 01:17:45.863 align:center
Marjorie told me about the letter.
01:17:45.945 --> 01:17:48.615 align:center
Yeah, well,
I'm not gonna be evicted, okay?
01:17:48.699 --> 01:17:50.575 align:center
Easy. Just asking.
01:17:50.659 --> 01:17:53.537 align:center
I was just talking to Shervin.
Have you met Shervin?
01:17:53.621 --> 01:17:55.038 align:center
- Ah, no. Hi.
- Hey.
01:17:55.121 --> 01:17:56.808 align:center
- How's it going?
- Hello. Nice to meet you.
01:17:56.832 --> 01:17:59.084 align:center
Shervin is a friend of Marjorie's.
He's a broker.
01:17:59.168 --> 01:18:02.253 align:center
And Shervin was just telling me
how impossible it is to find
01:18:02.338 --> 01:18:04.381 align:center
a pet-friendly apartment
in New York these days.
01:18:04.464 --> 01:18:06.926 align:center
- Are you looking?
- Uh, no. I'm really not.
01:18:07.009 --> 01:18:08.769 align:center
- What kind of pet do you have?
- It's a dog.
01:18:08.802 --> 01:18:12.263 align:center
- Oh, the Great Dane?
- Iris. Iris. Such a long time.
01:18:12.347 --> 01:18:14.159 align:center
- Harry? Oh, my goodness.
- Hey. Ah, I hardly...
01:18:14.183 --> 01:18:15.994 align:center
- So many years. Oh, my God.
- I hardly get in town anymore.
01:18:16.018 --> 01:18:17.602 align:center
- This is my husband Larry.
- Hi.
01:18:17.686 --> 01:18:21.857 align:center
Larry. Your husband Larry.
Harry, Larry. That's adorable.
01:18:21.941 --> 01:18:23.334 align:center
And, uh, Iris lives right next door.
01:18:23.358 --> 01:18:25.820 align:center
Her father Gary sang with me
in the Gay Men's Chorus.
01:18:25.903 --> 01:18:27.696 align:center
Ooh. You're the one with the dog.
01:18:27.780 --> 01:18:29.448 align:center
Oh, yeah. I've heard crazy stories.
01:18:29.531 --> 01:18:31.367 align:center
Uh, are you gonna lose the apartment?
01:18:32.368 --> 01:18:34.160 align:center
- No. Yeah, I...
- I love big dogs.
01:18:34.245 --> 01:18:35.913 align:center
But I could never do what you're doing.
01:18:35.995 --> 01:18:40.125 align:center
Uh, I gave Marjorie the name of a rescue
in Delaware. They're amazing!
01:18:40.209 --> 01:18:42.795 align:center
Five is kind of old
for a Dane, isn't it?
01:18:42.877 --> 01:18:46.548 align:center
What are you gonna do when he
becomes, you know, incontinent?
01:18:48.884 --> 01:18:50.009 align:center
- Bye.
- Thank you so much.
01:18:50.093 --> 01:18:52.095 align:center
- Happy New Year to you.
- Happy New Year, darling.
01:18:52.179 --> 01:18:53.514 align:center
- Bye-bye.
- Thank you so much.
01:18:53.596 --> 01:18:54.765 align:center
Take care.
01:19:01.272 --> 01:19:03.899 align:center
Oh, honey, it's late. Go home.
01:19:03.983 --> 01:19:05.984 align:center
No, no. It's okay.
01:19:07.528 --> 01:19:09.154 align:center
- You're mad.
- No.
01:19:09.697 --> 01:19:11.573 align:center
Maybe just a little?
01:19:17.329 --> 01:19:21.958 align:center
I did think
this was a New Year's party,
01:19:22.041 --> 01:19:25.087 align:center
not an intervention.
01:19:27.631 --> 01:19:29.132 align:center
People are concerned.
01:19:29.925 --> 01:19:30.926 align:center
I'm concerned.
01:19:32.261 --> 01:19:35.764 align:center
You're my friend.
You're more than my friend.
01:19:37.223 --> 01:19:40.810 align:center
When your father got sick, I don't know
what would have happened without you,
01:19:40.894 --> 01:19:43.146 align:center
if you hadn't moved in with him to help.
01:19:44.731 --> 01:19:47.151 align:center
I miss him a lot.
01:19:49.277 --> 01:19:51.447 align:center
I don't wanna miss you, too.
01:19:56.577 --> 01:20:00.831 align:center
I actually did hear back
from the Michigan rescue, so…
01:20:00.915 --> 01:20:02.458 align:center
They can take him now?
01:20:05.877 --> 01:20:07.713 align:center
Well, that's good news.
01:20:26.273 --> 01:20:27.315 align:center
Hey.
01:20:36.283 --> 01:20:37.660 align:center
How you doin'?
01:20:39.954 --> 01:20:41.120 align:center
Hey, bud.
01:20:47.336 --> 01:20:48.420 align:center
Hey.
01:21:53.819 --> 01:21:55.404 align:center
Come on, boy.
01:22:08.916 --> 01:22:09.917 align:center
Get in.
01:22:13.714 --> 01:22:14.715 align:center
Stay.
01:22:16.341 --> 01:22:17.425 align:center
Ms. Iris, I…
01:22:17.509 --> 01:22:20.970 align:center
Can you just watch him, please?
01:22:22.723 --> 01:22:24.016 align:center
Sure. Sure.
01:22:38.237 --> 01:22:39.238 align:center
Sorry.
01:22:39.782 --> 01:22:43.159 align:center
I wanted to come sooner,
but L Train, hell train.
01:22:45.369 --> 01:22:47.206 align:center
Marjorie clued me in.
01:22:48.664 --> 01:22:49.792 align:center
Give me.
01:22:50.875 --> 01:22:51.876 align:center
Thanks.
01:22:52.461 --> 01:22:54.338 align:center
You all right?
01:22:55.421 --> 01:22:58.217 align:center
You know, I hear
wife number three's in China.
01:22:58.967 --> 01:23:02.137 align:center
Or is it Macau? Is Macau in China?
01:23:05.140 --> 01:23:07.266 align:center
- Wow, look at that.
- Oh.
01:23:11.688 --> 01:23:13.941 align:center
Hey, big boy. It's a…
01:23:14.982 --> 01:23:17.652 align:center
It's a nice dog.
01:23:18.277 --> 01:23:19.780 align:center
Give me.
01:23:21.572 --> 01:23:22.782 align:center
I almost forgot.
01:23:25.619 --> 01:23:26.744 align:center
Here.
01:23:28.121 --> 01:23:30.081 align:center
I looked for an Iris, but…
01:23:31.666 --> 01:23:32.667 align:center
Thanks.
01:23:33.168 --> 01:23:34.168 align:center
Mm.
01:23:37.589 --> 01:23:40.592 align:center
Bye, big bro. I'll miss you.
01:23:45.139 --> 01:23:46.515 align:center
You're doing the right thing.
01:23:49.393 --> 01:23:50.518 align:center
You think?
01:23:52.604 --> 01:23:55.106 align:center
I don't know. Maybe.
01:23:59.403 --> 01:24:00.404 align:center
Yeah.
01:24:02.238 --> 01:24:04.157 align:center
Call me when you get back, please.
01:24:09.246 --> 01:24:11.582 align:center
Okay. You okay?
01:24:12.166 --> 01:24:13.208 align:center
Bye.
01:24:30.767 --> 01:24:31.809 align:center
See ya.
01:24:32.644 --> 01:24:35.396 align:center
I've imagined it so many times,
01:24:35.939 --> 01:24:40.359 align:center
how among all the other questions
certain to have come to you was…
01:24:41.569 --> 01:24:44.072 align:center
"What will happen to the dog?"
01:24:47.701 --> 01:24:49.702 align:center
We expect the worst.
01:24:51.037 --> 01:24:54.332 align:center
It's something we learn early
from children's books.
01:24:55.333 --> 01:24:58.295 align:center
In those stories, animals often die,
01:24:59.128 --> 01:25:00.631 align:center
often tragically.
01:25:00.714 --> 01:25:03.424 align:center
Old Yeller. The Red Pony.
01:25:04.927 --> 01:25:06.719 align:center
And even when they survive,
01:25:06.803 --> 01:25:08.805 align:center
even when they're happy at the end,
01:25:08.888 --> 01:25:10.890 align:center
they've often suffered badly,
01:25:11.849 --> 01:25:13.434 align:center
often put through hell.
01:25:14.143 --> 01:25:17.606 align:center
Black Beauty. Flicka. White Fang. Buck.
01:25:18.482 --> 01:25:21.485 align:center
Okay. Okay.
01:25:35.248 --> 01:25:37.917 align:center
Dogs don't commit suicide.
01:25:39.168 --> 01:25:40.544 align:center
They don't weep.
01:25:43.924 --> 01:25:46.133 align:center
But they can fall to pieces.
01:25:47.594 --> 01:25:50.012 align:center
They can have their hearts broken.
01:25:51.889 --> 01:25:54.101 align:center
They can lose their minds.
01:26:14.204 --> 01:26:15.205 align:center
Oh.
01:26:15.914 --> 01:26:18.083 align:center
Quiet. Murtle, hush.
01:26:31.179 --> 01:26:35.350 align:center
Hey, so you know how some people say
their dog's an emotional support animal,
01:26:35.434 --> 01:26:37.060 align:center
so they can get them on the plane?
01:26:38.811 --> 01:26:40.171 align:center
Yeah, I know, but I was wondering…
01:26:40.230 --> 01:26:42.374 align:center
I know it's uncool,
but I was wondering if the same law
01:26:42.398 --> 01:26:45.110 align:center
might prevent the landlord from…
01:26:45.193 --> 01:26:48.863 align:center
Right. Just do a quick search
and... and call me back, okay?
01:26:49.488 --> 01:26:50.949 align:center
Perfect.
01:26:53.492 --> 01:26:54.578 align:center
Jerky?
01:26:57.330 --> 01:26:59.373 align:center
Val? Val?
01:27:00.249 --> 01:27:02.002 align:center
Hey, Val, can you hear me?
01:27:02.085 --> 01:27:04.187 align:center
Directions to Hershey, Pennsylvania.
01:27:04.211 --> 01:27:06.088 align:center
Shit. Hold on.
01:27:07.381 --> 01:27:09.675 align:center
- Val? Hey.
- Oh, hey. There you are.
01:27:09.759 --> 01:27:12.678 align:center
I started looking,
and I think maybe you're right
01:27:12.763 --> 01:27:15.057 align:center
about being able to keep
a service dog in an apartment.
01:27:15.140 --> 01:27:16.474 align:center
Any apartment.
01:27:17.100 --> 01:27:19.810 align:center
Though he's gotta be registered,
you know, for real.
01:27:19.895 --> 01:27:23.565 align:center
Not by one of those fakey places.
Like, by a shrink.
01:27:24.816 --> 01:27:26.818 align:center
Is that what you're gonna do?
01:27:38.037 --> 01:27:39.330 align:center
Oh, excuse me.
01:27:40.039 --> 01:27:43.292 align:center
Hi, I spoke to someone on the phone
about seeing Dr. Warren.
01:27:43.377 --> 01:27:45.795 align:center
- I'm sorry, your name?
- Iris.
01:27:45.878 --> 01:27:48.798 align:center
Oh, right. You couldn't make it earlier?
01:27:48.882 --> 01:27:53.136 align:center
I was, you know, I was thinking
maybe I could sit and wait.
01:27:53.887 --> 01:27:56.390 align:center
Oh, no. It doesn't work like that.
01:27:59.225 --> 01:28:02.562 align:center
You know what,
I'm... I'm gonna go ahead and just sit.
01:28:03.230 --> 01:28:05.356 align:center
Uh, that's fine.
01:28:05.941 --> 01:28:07.818 align:center
Uh, ma'am.
01:28:11.487 --> 01:28:12.613 align:center
Okay.
01:28:22.373 --> 01:28:23.792 align:center
Ma'am, you…
01:28:23.874 --> 01:28:25.209 align:center
Ma'am, you can't…
01:28:25.292 --> 01:28:28.255 align:center
Hi, Dr. Warren. Do you remember me?
01:28:28.338 --> 01:28:30.340 align:center
- Um…
- It's been a couple of years.
01:28:30.423 --> 01:28:32.926 align:center
- But, uh, Iris. Iris Dixon.
- Ah. Oh.
01:28:33.008 --> 01:28:35.178 align:center
Yes, yes, Iris. Of course.
01:28:36.471 --> 01:28:38.014 align:center
Oh. Are you, um…
01:28:38.098 --> 01:28:39.557 align:center
Do... Do we have an appointment?
01:28:39.641 --> 01:28:41.892 align:center
I... I called, uh, before.
01:28:41.977 --> 01:28:43.270 align:center
- Lydia?
- Uh…
01:28:45.813 --> 01:28:50.568 align:center
Apollo was sad.
Like, truly sad. He, he, he…
01:28:50.651 --> 01:28:53.447 align:center
I could feel him missing Walter
in the same way I did.
01:28:54.698 --> 01:28:56.782 align:center
- You know what I mean?
- Mm-hmm.
01:28:57.367 --> 01:29:00.995 align:center
Anyway, the, uh, certificate is…
01:29:01.078 --> 01:29:02.413 align:center
Uh, could you…
01:29:03.622 --> 01:29:06.084 align:center
Well, you'll have to apply for it,
but, yes,
01:29:06.167 --> 01:29:08.544 align:center
I could write an evaluation
saying that you're suffering
01:29:08.628 --> 01:29:11.673 align:center
from depression and anxiety
aggravated by bereavement,
01:29:12.340 --> 01:29:15.469 align:center
that the dog provides
essential emotional support,
01:29:15.552 --> 01:29:18.388 align:center
the loss of which may likely cause harm
to your mental health
01:29:18.472 --> 01:29:20.514 align:center
or might even be life-threatening.
01:29:21.057 --> 01:29:23.059 align:center
Does that sound okay?
01:29:24.101 --> 01:29:26.020 align:center
That sounds like a lot.
01:29:27.272 --> 01:29:28.815 align:center
It's what you're asking for, isn't it?
01:29:29.441 --> 01:29:33.569 align:center
Yeah, well, I guess I just,
I saw it the other way around.
01:29:33.652 --> 01:29:37.365 align:center
Like, I'm the emotional-support human,
and it's the dog that can't cope.
01:29:40.034 --> 01:29:42.537 align:center
You... You think I'm a mess.
01:29:42.620 --> 01:29:44.622 align:center
No, no. Not at all.
01:29:46.248 --> 01:29:47.417 align:center
Why a mess?
01:29:48.001 --> 01:29:52.589 align:center
Well, I know people
who genuinely need support animals
01:29:52.672 --> 01:29:54.715 align:center
- would hate people like me.
- Mm-hmm.
01:29:54.798 --> 01:29:57.552 align:center
I would, too. But I'm not
one of those crazies.
01:29:57.635 --> 01:30:00.472 align:center
I would never take him anywhere
he's not supposed to go.
01:30:00.554 --> 01:30:02.932 align:center
In fact, I left him in the car right now.
01:30:04.267 --> 01:30:08.103 align:center
Here's the thing, I cannot
get thrown out of my apartment.
01:30:11.023 --> 01:30:12.274 align:center
In the car, here?
01:30:23.327 --> 01:30:24.703 align:center
He thinks you should come in.
01:30:33.462 --> 01:30:34.631 align:center
Come on, bud.
01:30:36.131 --> 01:30:37.716 align:center
He's very friendly.
01:30:44.181 --> 01:30:46.059 align:center
They do seem to know things, don't they?
01:30:48.311 --> 01:30:50.522 align:center
- Well…
- Oh, bud.
01:30:57.861 --> 01:30:59.196 align:center
Do you ever talk to Apollo?
01:30:59.739 --> 01:31:02.700 align:center
Oh, y-yeah, but t-the vet
told me I should.
01:31:02.783 --> 01:31:04.660 align:center
The most natural thing in the world.
01:31:06.204 --> 01:31:08.456 align:center
- What do you two talk about?
- I don't know.
01:31:08.540 --> 01:31:12.669 align:center
Anything, like, "What's up, pup?"
01:31:13.585 --> 01:31:16.548 align:center
"You hungry? Does your arthritis hurt?"
01:31:17.423 --> 01:31:19.049 align:center
"Does this top go with these pants?"
01:31:19.134 --> 01:31:21.136 align:center
"Can you tell I've been drinking?"
01:31:38.277 --> 01:31:41.948 align:center
Some… Sometimes I feel rage,
01:31:42.907 --> 01:31:45.535 align:center
you know, about Walter.
01:31:47.328 --> 01:31:50.081 align:center
Especially in crowded places.
01:31:50.165 --> 01:31:54.918 align:center
Like, I keep thinking,
"Who are all these fucking people,
01:31:55.003 --> 01:31:57.255 align:center
and how come they get to be alive?
01:31:58.298 --> 01:32:00.758 align:center
And he's just…"
01:32:02.886 --> 01:32:05.304 align:center
Walter made a choice,
though, didn't he?
01:32:06.597 --> 01:32:07.766 align:center
Yeah, but…
01:32:07.848 --> 01:32:10.726 align:center
And yet your rage isn't directed at him?
01:32:18.485 --> 01:32:23.031 align:center
Tell me, then, why do you think
Walter killed himself?
01:32:23.113 --> 01:32:25.950 align:center
- I don't know! I don't fucking know!
- Mm.
01:32:26.033 --> 01:32:28.286 align:center
Because he was weak, in pain?
01:32:28.369 --> 01:32:31.539 align:center
And like... like he was trapped upside down
01:32:31.622 --> 01:32:34.917 align:center
in a fucking tankful of water.
01:32:44.135 --> 01:32:45.344 align:center
Were you in love with him?
01:32:45.928 --> 01:32:49.432 align:center
No. I know I was not in love with Walter.
01:32:50.058 --> 01:32:51.743 align:center
Sometimes putting
a name on our feelings
01:32:51.767 --> 01:32:53.185 align:center
can help with the grieving process.
01:32:53.269 --> 01:32:54.728 align:center
Look, I know about grief.
01:32:54.812 --> 01:32:57.774 align:center
I know what love feels like.
And that wasn't it.
01:32:57.857 --> 01:33:00.110 align:center
I... I wasn't hoping for something more.
01:33:00.193 --> 01:33:01.902 align:center
I'm only suggesting.
01:33:01.985 --> 01:33:03.738 align:center
We were friends, not lovers.
01:33:03.821 --> 01:33:05.657 align:center
And... And, yes, sometimes, okay,
01:33:05.739 --> 01:33:08.742 align:center
sometimes I got jealous
or possessive, but…
01:33:14.915 --> 01:33:18.336 align:center
We... We... We could just talk for hours…
01:33:19.086 --> 01:33:20.296 align:center
about anything.
01:33:24.134 --> 01:33:25.427 align:center
Art. B-B…
01:33:26.761 --> 01:33:30.432 align:center
Music, books. So many books.
01:33:31.265 --> 01:33:32.808 align:center
It was just effortless.
01:33:35.352 --> 01:33:36.353 align:center
Like…
01:33:39.566 --> 01:33:40.983 align:center
breathing together.
01:33:42.444 --> 01:33:43.861 align:center
And now he's gone.
01:33:43.944 --> 01:33:46.864 align:center
Yeah. He's gone. He's fucking gone.
01:33:46.948 --> 01:33:47.991 align:center
He's fucking…
01:33:49.659 --> 01:33:52.120 align:center
killed himself.
And it's just the way it is.
01:33:59.126 --> 01:34:01.462 align:center
If Walter were here right now,
01:34:02.504 --> 01:34:04.174 align:center
what would you like to say to him?
01:34:09.887 --> 01:34:12.682 align:center
Uh…
01:34:12.765 --> 01:34:15.100 align:center
If you could say anything,
a... anything.
01:34:29.240 --> 01:34:32.034 align:center
Look, you're a writer.
01:34:33.327 --> 01:34:35.747 align:center
Maybe it would help if you write about it.
01:34:37.331 --> 01:34:38.624 align:center
About Walter?
01:34:40.250 --> 01:34:41.753 align:center
About what happened.
01:34:46.131 --> 01:34:47.175 align:center
What?
01:34:53.014 --> 01:34:55.642 align:center
Is this the madness
at the heart of it,
01:34:56.517 --> 01:34:59.312 align:center
the fairy tale I whisper to myself?
01:34:59.979 --> 01:35:03.273 align:center
That if I love beautiful, aging Apollo,
01:35:03.899 --> 01:35:06.402 align:center
that if I act selflessly,
01:35:07.277 --> 01:35:09.989 align:center
I'll wake up one morning to find him gone,
01:35:10.072 --> 01:35:11.740 align:center
and you in his place,
01:35:12.992 --> 01:35:15.203 align:center
back from the land of the dead?
01:35:21.709 --> 01:35:24.254 align:center
How does the story begin?
01:35:25.547 --> 01:35:27.005 align:center
We start with a woman.
01:35:27.756 --> 01:35:29.467 align:center
She rides on the subway.
01:35:30.760 --> 01:35:33.429 align:center
Is she alone? No.
01:35:34.555 --> 01:35:37.140 align:center
She has brought a dog with her,
01:35:37.224 --> 01:35:38.725 align:center
a miniature Dachshund,
01:35:39.352 --> 01:35:40.937 align:center
and some daffodils.
01:35:43.063 --> 01:35:44.440 align:center
Where is she going?
01:35:45.023 --> 01:35:47.694 align:center
She's going to visit an old friend.
01:35:48.944 --> 01:35:52.031 align:center
The friend lives in a brownstone
in Brooklyn.
01:35:54.242 --> 01:35:57.327 align:center
See her now walking up
the steps of the brownstone.
01:36:00.664 --> 01:36:02.667 align:center
See her ring the doorbell.
01:36:05.670 --> 01:36:06.753 align:center
She waits…
01:36:08.171 --> 01:36:09.464 align:center
uncertain.
01:36:14.011 --> 01:36:16.179 align:center
Ah. Hello.
01:36:17.556 --> 01:36:18.600 align:center
Hi.
01:36:20.434 --> 01:36:21.603 align:center
Come on in.
01:36:29.485 --> 01:36:30.713 align:center
Does the friend live alone?
01:36:32.529 --> 01:36:36.618 align:center
No, he lives with his wife,
but she isn't home today.
01:36:37.285 --> 01:36:39.203 align:center
She's at work.
01:36:42.415 --> 01:36:45.418 align:center
Exactly what did Barbara tell you
about what happened?
01:36:46.419 --> 01:36:48.712 align:center
That she was away
on a business trip,
01:36:48.795 --> 01:36:51.924 align:center
but the flight was canceled
because of a storm in Denver.
01:36:52.007 --> 01:36:56.095 align:center
And when she got back here,
she found the dog outside the study,
01:36:56.179 --> 01:36:59.098 align:center
with a note on the door
for your cleaning lady,
01:36:59.181 --> 01:37:01.017 align:center
warning her to call 911.
01:37:04.144 --> 01:37:06.814 align:center
Uh, the... the cleaning lady
was scheduled to come in…
01:37:07.899 --> 01:37:08.982 align:center
the next morning.
01:37:09.858 --> 01:37:10.942 align:center
But you're right.
01:37:11.027 --> 01:37:13.236 align:center
If one of my students
had put that in a story,
01:37:13.321 --> 01:37:16.365 align:center
I'd have said, "Gee, isn't that
just a little bit too easy?"
01:37:16.448 --> 01:37:19.786 align:center
Hmm. So how do you feel now?
01:37:19.869 --> 01:37:22.163 align:center
Humiliated, disgraced.
01:37:22.245 --> 01:37:24.415 align:center
Ordinary human reactions.
01:37:24.499 --> 01:37:26.125 align:center
Hmm. I know that.
01:37:28.126 --> 01:37:30.338 align:center
I've been reading up on suicide.
01:37:30.420 --> 01:37:31.881 align:center
You'd better stop that.
01:37:33.132 --> 01:37:34.801 align:center
Suicide is contagious.
01:37:34.884 --> 01:37:36.386 align:center
What choice did I have?
01:37:36.469 --> 01:37:39.472 align:center
It's been… confusing.
01:37:40.765 --> 01:37:42.725 align:center
Okay. I get that.
01:37:51.983 --> 01:37:53.778 align:center
What are you gonna do about the book?
01:37:55.071 --> 01:37:56.863 align:center
The book.
01:37:58.282 --> 01:38:00.742 align:center
I've decided to step away from the book.
01:38:01.828 --> 01:38:02.912 align:center
Your book.
01:38:03.620 --> 01:38:06.791 align:center
What do you mean my book?
I gave you complete control.
01:38:07.750 --> 01:38:12.004 align:center
I'm feeling conflicted
about my own writing.
01:38:12.087 --> 01:38:15.340 align:center
Well, you weren't doing any writing
before the book.
01:38:15.424 --> 01:38:17.427 align:center
I thought this would be good for you.
01:38:17.510 --> 01:38:20.680 align:center
No, when you asked me
to work on your correspondence,
01:38:20.763 --> 01:38:22.198 align:center
you weren't thinking about me,
you were thinking
01:38:22.222 --> 01:38:23.849 align:center
about you and your legacy.
01:38:23.933 --> 01:38:26.602 align:center
Your existential crisis is my fault?
01:38:26.685 --> 01:38:27.978 align:center
I'm not blaming you.
01:38:28.061 --> 01:38:32.232 align:center
But you made a choice, and you put me
in an impossible position.
01:38:32.315 --> 01:38:35.152 align:center
- I have?
- And Val, too. But she's fine.
01:38:36.153 --> 01:38:37.863 align:center
She can finish the book without me.
01:38:37.947 --> 01:38:40.283 align:center
I'm thinking about writing something else.
01:38:40.365 --> 01:38:41.742 align:center
Well, that is wonderful.
01:38:41.826 --> 01:38:43.911 align:center
- What about?
- You.
01:38:49.625 --> 01:38:50.834 align:center
About what happened.
01:38:51.460 --> 01:38:54.213 align:center
It came to me suddenly one night.
01:38:54.297 --> 01:38:57.340 align:center
I was watching It's A Wonderful Life.
I'm sure you've seen it.
01:38:57.424 --> 01:38:58.592 align:center
- Many times.
- Yeah.
01:38:58.675 --> 01:39:01.804 align:center
And I'm sitting there with Jip in my lap,
01:39:01.887 --> 01:39:06.225 align:center
and I was thinking
what a crummy thing suicide is,
01:39:06.850 --> 01:39:08.810 align:center
the pain for everyone left behind,
01:39:08.895 --> 01:39:10.146 align:center
and the dumb luck in it.
01:39:10.229 --> 01:39:13.775 align:center
Having... Having an angel
come down and save you, or not.
01:39:15.443 --> 01:39:16.652 align:center
Which means you're dead.
01:39:20.781 --> 01:39:23.201 align:center
This might be the place
to bring in some comedy.
01:39:23.868 --> 01:39:25.119 align:center
Comedy?
01:39:26.328 --> 01:39:27.913 align:center
Wait, you... you killed yourself.
01:39:27.996 --> 01:39:29.165 align:center
You think that's funny?
01:39:30.124 --> 01:39:33.669 align:center
Oh, I should have said,
my book is fiction.
01:39:34.253 --> 01:39:36.379 align:center
I know what that means,
you're gonna change my name
01:39:36.463 --> 01:39:41.301 align:center
to Wally, or Wilber?
01:39:41.385 --> 01:39:44.096 align:center
Nah. I'm not gonna use names at all.
01:39:44.179 --> 01:39:45.889 align:center
Except for the dog.
01:39:45.973 --> 01:39:49.142 align:center
Well, Jip's in it. That makes me happy.
01:39:49.852 --> 01:39:53.439 align:center
Oh, and your character is English.
01:39:54.440 --> 01:39:56.442 align:center
Yeah, I thought that might sting a bit.
01:39:57.068 --> 01:39:58.568 align:center
I could be Italian.
01:39:58.653 --> 01:40:01.322 align:center
Everyone wants to be Italian.
01:40:01.404 --> 01:40:03.424 align:center
You're exploiting my life.
It's the least you could do.
01:40:03.448 --> 01:40:05.535 align:center
Not your life, your death.
01:40:06.911 --> 01:40:08.746 align:center
You see, he hates that word.
01:40:09.747 --> 01:40:11.498 align:center
You know, I'm looking at your face.
01:40:12.625 --> 01:40:15.418 align:center
Do you feel sleazy? You should.
01:40:15.502 --> 01:40:18.923 align:center
What kind of friend
does this to a friend? Tell me.
01:40:19.005 --> 01:40:22.384 align:center
You made a choice to end things
and that's what this is about.
01:40:22.468 --> 01:40:25.805 align:center
That is not what this is about!
01:40:26.555 --> 01:40:28.015 align:center
Go ask your shrink!
01:40:28.599 --> 01:40:30.392 align:center
What makes you think I'm seeing a shrink?
01:40:32.018 --> 01:40:33.521 align:center
Well, isn't that obvious?
01:40:33.604 --> 01:40:36.107 align:center
Why else would we be having
this conversation?
01:40:37.817 --> 01:40:41.152 align:center
Okay, I did not fulfill
your needs, as a teacher,
01:40:41.236 --> 01:40:43.906 align:center
as a lover, as a friend.
01:40:43.990 --> 01:40:47.493 align:center
Or are we still dealing
with your fucking daddy issues?
01:40:47.577 --> 01:40:51.913 align:center
Okay. I'm sorry
that yours left the family.
01:40:51.997 --> 01:40:54.333 align:center
I'm sorry that he got sick.
01:40:54.417 --> 01:40:58.044 align:center
I'm sorry that he died
and the way that he died.
01:40:58.128 --> 01:41:01.215 align:center
My father fought for his life.
He clung to it. He loved it.
01:41:01.298 --> 01:41:04.050 align:center
He loved everyone around him. And he…
01:41:06.303 --> 01:41:08.681 align:center
Oh, forget it. I shouldn't be doing this.
01:41:08.764 --> 01:41:10.308 align:center
I don't know what I was thinking.
01:41:11.225 --> 01:41:14.228 align:center
Why don't you put that to Dr. Obvious?
01:41:17.022 --> 01:41:20.026 align:center
What… were you thinking?
01:41:20.776 --> 01:41:22.612 align:center
I'll tell you what I wasn't thinking.
01:41:23.362 --> 01:41:26.532 align:center
I wasn't thinking you're a monster
of selfishness and self-pity,
01:41:26.616 --> 01:41:29.535 align:center
I wasn't resenting you
for throwing away such a precious life.
01:41:29.618 --> 01:41:31.495 align:center
And I didn't think you chose suicide
01:41:31.578 --> 01:41:34.497 align:center
just to punish those around you
that loved you.
01:41:38.002 --> 01:41:39.169 align:center
It's clear.
01:41:40.922 --> 01:41:42.840 align:center
You weren't considering us at all.
01:41:45.675 --> 01:41:48.804 align:center
Well, in my defense, I was suicidal.
01:41:50.348 --> 01:41:51.641 align:center
Literally.
01:41:51.724 --> 01:41:52.724 align:center
Hmm.
01:41:53.893 --> 01:41:55.644 align:center
That lack of consideration
01:41:56.311 --> 01:41:59.440 align:center
for me, for Val, Apollo.
01:41:59.523 --> 01:42:00.941 align:center
Who in the hell is Apollo?
01:42:01.025 --> 01:42:04.612 align:center
- Jip is Apollo!
- Oh.
01:42:06.529 --> 01:42:07.657 align:center
He's a dog!
01:42:08.365 --> 01:42:10.493 align:center
And he was not present
01:42:11.368 --> 01:42:12.994 align:center
at the moment of my death.
01:42:13.995 --> 01:42:16.123 align:center
Apollo was devoted to you.
01:42:17.165 --> 01:42:19.627 align:center
Your best friend.
The... The center of his world.
01:42:19.710 --> 01:42:23.589 align:center
And you left him alone
in the house with your body!
01:42:24.297 --> 01:42:25.758 align:center
He scratched at the door,
01:42:25.841 --> 01:42:29.844 align:center
he was listening the whole time
as your life was draining away.
01:42:31.681 --> 01:42:35.977 align:center
Did you hear him, Apollo,
in those moments?
01:42:38.270 --> 01:42:39.354 align:center
Did you?
01:42:40.355 --> 01:42:42.607 align:center
The least you could have done…
01:42:45.819 --> 01:42:48.030 align:center
is find him a decent home first.
01:43:09.135 --> 01:43:10.428 align:center
He had you.
01:43:13.431 --> 01:43:14.724 align:center
He always had you.
01:43:16.976 --> 01:43:18.768 align:center
Is that really what you thought?
01:43:20.937 --> 01:43:23.524 align:center
Who cares what I thought? I'm dead.
01:43:28.570 --> 01:43:31.198 align:center
And now you got me here with a wiener dog.
01:43:39.873 --> 01:43:41.124 align:center
What else do you want?
01:43:43.835 --> 01:43:45.296 align:center
Nothing anymore.
01:43:48.257 --> 01:43:50.341 align:center
I can't think of anything else.
01:43:59.977 --> 01:44:01.854 align:center
What's gonna happen to the dog?
01:44:20.456 --> 01:44:23.292 align:center
Yes, I know, and-and I spoke
with the City before,
01:44:23.375 --> 01:44:28.129 align:center
and they told me as long as I have
proper documentation from my doctor.
01:44:31.382 --> 01:44:34.386 align:center
Why would you continue
with the eviction process when…
01:44:35.220 --> 01:44:37.222 align:center
I've tried calling him, twice,
01:44:37.306 --> 01:44:39.934 align:center
maybe three times now,
and no one is calling me back.
01:44:41.392 --> 01:44:44.312 align:center
Well, this is not your judgment call.
01:44:46.689 --> 01:44:47.775 align:center
Come on.
01:44:49.484 --> 01:44:52.112 align:center
Oh, Ms. Iris, I was looking for you.
01:44:52.195 --> 01:44:53.614 align:center
- Why?
- They just called.
01:44:53.696 --> 01:44:56.242 align:center
- We have a problem.
- Who? Who called?
01:44:56.324 --> 01:44:57.617 align:center
The... The building management.
01:44:57.700 --> 01:44:59.011 align:center
They called from Florida.
They're not very happy.
01:44:59.035 --> 01:45:00.578 align:center
What? I... I just talked to them.
01:45:00.662 --> 01:45:02.598 align:center
I know, they told me, they told me
that you talked to them,
01:45:02.622 --> 01:45:04.457 align:center
and then they called a lawyer. See?
01:45:04.541 --> 01:45:06.167 align:center
- The law… Uh…
- Yeah.
01:45:06.252 --> 01:45:07.920 align:center
What... What did they say?
01:45:08.003 --> 01:45:10.004 align:center
The lawyer? Well, I don't know.
01:45:10.088 --> 01:45:12.133 align:center
He said, he said…
01:45:12.216 --> 01:45:13.967 align:center
I can't…
01:45:14.051 --> 01:45:16.470 align:center
Uh, they said that,
that they have no choice.
01:45:17.054 --> 01:45:19.472 align:center
- No choice? About?
- No choice.
01:45:19.556 --> 01:45:22.226 align:center
They have no choice about Apollo.
01:45:22.309 --> 01:45:24.018 align:center
They cannot evict you.
01:45:24.644 --> 01:45:26.604 align:center
What?
01:45:26.688 --> 01:45:29.024 align:center
- So… Are you?
- No.
01:45:29.108 --> 01:45:30.567 align:center
- So that's it?
- That's it.
01:45:30.651 --> 01:45:33.778 align:center
- It's done?
- Done. That's it.
01:45:33.862 --> 01:45:35.697 align:center
- Oh, my God.
- Yeah.
01:45:36.907 --> 01:45:39.993 align:center
You hear that, Apollo?
You, you don't have to go anywhere.
01:45:40.077 --> 01:45:43.164 align:center
You stay here forever. Okay, bro?
01:45:43.246 --> 01:45:45.666 align:center
Ah, you're such a good boy.
Just like here.
01:45:46.333 --> 01:45:48.710 align:center
This, it's a good thing.
01:45:48.793 --> 01:45:51.087 align:center
- You know?
- Yes! Yes, it's very good.
01:45:51.172 --> 01:45:54.884 align:center
- Very good. Thank you.
- Okay, that's okay.
01:45:54.966 --> 01:45:56.510 align:center
- Okay. Yeah.
- Oh, my God.
01:45:57.302 --> 01:45:59.013 align:center
Listen, I just, uh…
01:45:59.638 --> 01:46:02.849 align:center
I apologize for, to… Uh, because you know.
01:46:03.642 --> 01:46:05.895 align:center
I was… That's my job, you know?
01:46:05.977 --> 01:46:08.189 align:center
- Yeah, no, that...
- He's a very nice dog.
01:46:08.271 --> 01:46:09.272 align:center
Yeah.
01:46:09.857 --> 01:46:11.400 align:center
- That makes sense.
- Okay.
01:46:11.483 --> 01:46:12.735 align:center
- Okay.
- Okay, see you later.
01:46:12.817 --> 01:46:15.654 align:center
Oh, Hektor, I have
01:46:15.737 --> 01:46:19.115 align:center
a very nice bottle of champagne
in the fridge.
01:46:19.200 --> 01:46:21.202 align:center
- Wow, no. I just…
- Just a little celebration.
01:46:21.284 --> 01:46:23.180 align:center
- No. I cannot really… I can't.
- Would you… Come on in.
01:46:23.204 --> 01:46:24.724 align:center
- Just five minutes…
- But it's that...
01:46:24.788 --> 01:46:27.416 align:center
- …of your time.
- Okay, five, five minutes. Okay.
01:46:52.483 --> 01:46:55.235 align:center
Excuse me. Is that Apollo?
01:46:57.153 --> 01:46:58.572 align:center
You know Apollo?
01:46:58.656 --> 01:47:00.657 align:center
Well, I mean, I haven't seen him
for a while,
01:47:00.740 --> 01:47:02.659 align:center
but he was a regular here
for about a year.
01:47:02.742 --> 01:47:03.993 align:center
Apollo?
01:47:04.078 --> 01:47:06.163 align:center
Yeah, his owner's a tall…
01:47:06.246 --> 01:47:07.914 align:center
He's a, he's a writer, I think.
01:47:09.750 --> 01:47:11.001 align:center
Walter.
01:47:12.794 --> 01:47:14.754 align:center
He died last year. Yeah.
01:47:14.838 --> 01:47:17.508 align:center
- I'm sorry to hear that.
- Ah, thank you.
01:47:20.927 --> 01:47:23.973 align:center
He sure was proud of that dog.
01:47:24.056 --> 01:47:27.309 align:center
I mean, I must've heard him
tell the story of finding Apollo,
01:47:27.392 --> 01:47:29.603 align:center
I... I don't know, a... a lot.
01:47:34.274 --> 01:47:35.693 align:center
He's a beautiful animal.
01:47:39.070 --> 01:47:40.488 align:center
He sure is.
01:48:30.621 --> 01:48:31.623 align:center
Hey…
01:48:33.458 --> 01:48:34.751 align:center
big guy.
01:48:38.797 --> 01:48:40.883 align:center
How are you?
What are you looking at?
01:48:42.134 --> 01:48:44.302 align:center
Huh? Who's in charge of you?
01:48:46.429 --> 01:48:48.848 align:center
How did you end up here?
01:48:52.603 --> 01:48:55.605 align:center
Hey, you wanna go get some breakfast?
01:48:58.566 --> 01:48:59.943 align:center
What are you looking at?
01:49:00.027 --> 01:49:03.322 align:center
It's not uncommon to wonder
what someone you love was like
01:49:03.404 --> 01:49:04.823 align:center
before you met them.
01:49:05.448 --> 01:49:08.701 align:center
Oh, look at you. You've got
two different colors. You gotta…
01:49:08.786 --> 01:49:12.790 align:center
It almost hurts not knowing
what the person was like as a child.
01:49:15.208 --> 01:49:17.502 align:center
I've felt this way
about the men I've loved
01:49:17.586 --> 01:49:20.046 align:center
and about many close friends,
01:49:20.130 --> 01:49:22.590 align:center
and now, it's how I feel about you.
01:49:23.966 --> 01:49:26.387 align:center
Not to have known you
as a frisky young dog,
01:49:26.469 --> 01:49:29.640 align:center
to have missed your entire puppyhood,
01:49:29.722 --> 01:49:32.975 align:center
I don't feel just sad, I feel cheated.
01:49:38.606 --> 01:49:40.776 align:center
I think of you
when you'd wake me years ago
01:49:40.858 --> 01:49:42.235 align:center
in the middle of the night,
01:49:42.319 --> 01:49:46.532 align:center
inhaling every inch of me
as I lay on the floor.
01:49:47.199 --> 01:49:49.243 align:center
Who was I to you then,
01:49:49.325 --> 01:49:53.455 align:center
and what have I become to you now
after so much time?
01:50:07.301 --> 01:50:10.138 align:center
After what
they paid us for this place,
01:50:10.221 --> 01:50:11.764 align:center
they'll knock it down for sure.
01:50:12.515 --> 01:50:15.185 align:center
So Apollo can do whatever.
01:50:15.269 --> 01:50:18.563 align:center
The beach, it comes and goes
with the tide.
01:50:19.148 --> 01:50:20.982 align:center
But you'll get used to it, I think.
01:50:21.066 --> 01:50:23.776 align:center
- You'll be able to write, won't you?
- Yeah.
01:50:23.860 --> 01:50:26.196 align:center
And Apollo can wander.
01:50:26.280 --> 01:50:29.031 align:center
As much as he's able to now.
01:50:30.950 --> 01:50:32.077 align:center
Ah.
01:50:33.036 --> 01:50:36.748 align:center
This is perfect. Thank you.
01:50:36.831 --> 01:50:37.958 align:center
Yeah.
01:50:39.125 --> 01:50:41.085 align:center
My mom practically grew up here.
01:50:42.420 --> 01:50:43.754 align:center
I guess I did, too.
01:50:46.007 --> 01:50:47.718 align:center
She needs the money now.
01:50:47.801 --> 01:50:49.594 align:center
- So…
- Mm.
01:50:58.019 --> 01:51:00.147 align:center
Oh, hello.
01:51:00.856 --> 01:51:03.816 align:center
Yeah. It came in
a couple of days ago.
01:51:03.900 --> 01:51:05.419 align:center
I wanted to leave one for you to find.
01:51:05.443 --> 01:51:07.111 align:center
Come on, Val.
01:51:09.281 --> 01:51:12.366 align:center
This is, this is fantastic.
01:51:12.451 --> 01:51:15.162 align:center
- Congratulations.
- You, too.
01:51:17.497 --> 01:51:20.791 align:center
Like I said, they don't take possession
until end of May.
01:51:21.417 --> 01:51:22.710 align:center
So go nuts.
01:51:24.003 --> 01:51:25.922 align:center
- Stay the night. Come on.
- No, I can't.
01:51:26.005 --> 01:51:28.800 align:center
I have to get back.
And... And you guys should settle.
01:51:32.803 --> 01:51:33.804 align:center

And I get to say goodbye.
01:53:03.728 --> 01:53:06.856 align:center
Am I talking to you or to myself?
01:53:07.733 --> 01:53:10.360 align:center
I confess the line has gotten blurred.
01:53:14.239 --> 01:53:16.616 align:center
What were you like in your prime?
01:53:18.326 --> 01:53:20.162 align:center

01:53:26.335 --> 01:53:29.463 align:center
Are you seeing the ocean
for the first time?
01:53:30.713 --> 01:53:33.425 align:center
One miracle is not enough now.
01:53:33.508 --> 01:53:35.677 align:center
That disaster was averted,
01:53:35.761 --> 01:53:38.512 align:center
that we were spared
separation or eviction.
01:53:39.306 --> 01:53:41.015 align:center
It's not enough.
01:53:45.771 --> 01:53:50.483 align:center
Now I'm like the fisherman's wife.
I want more.
01:53:53.612 --> 01:53:56.156 align:center
And not just another summer or two.
01:53:57.532 --> 01:54:01.411 align:center
I want you to live as long as I do.
