Transcript
00:00Making a trip, Eleanor?
00:02Moving home, actually.
00:04To New York? You?
00:06Nice knowing you, Clarice.
00:08Say goodbye to Melvin for me.
00:11We had such a wonderful time the other night.
00:15He's very strong.
00:18You sound full of shit, Eleanor.
00:20Yeah?
00:21I saw her the other day. Blonde.
00:24Roberta?
00:25Yeah. Suddenly she became blondie.
00:30I'm 94 years old, and I'm moving to Manhattan for the first time today.
00:43I live in Staten.
00:45My condolences.
00:47What am I going to do here all day alone?
00:50I signed you up for a class at JCC.
00:53I judged the morgue prematurely. I can see that now.
00:57Hey.
01:02Hi. I'm Eleanor.
01:05I was wondering if I, um, if I could feature you in my article.
01:10I did pick a subject for my journalism project.
01:14Yeah?
01:15Yeah, I'm actually profiling a Holocaust survivor.
01:18So tell me about your mother.
01:20He never talks about my mom.
01:22It's like she just, poof, went away.
01:25You liked my article that much?
01:27I loved it.
01:28It's thoughtful.
01:29It's, uh, it's personal.
01:32It's moving.
01:33You know, I'd like to have dinner with the two of you.
01:37To Eleanor.
01:39Eight months ago, my daughter and I lost her mom.
01:45My wife.
01:46Oh!
01:47I lost you.
01:48I lost you.
01:49I lost you.
01:50I lost you.
01:52I love you.
01:54I love you.
01:55We lived together for 11 years.
02:14And sometimes when you live with someone for that long, you forget where you end and they begin.
02:20I love you, Ele.
02:23I will.
