00:02:01That's so cool.
00:02:05My friends are waiting, so...
00:02:07Do you have to break?
00:02:09Sure.
00:02:11All right, I'll see you, Miranda.
00:02:17Oh my God, she's totally hot for you.
00:02:20She's got friends.
00:02:22You're hooking me up.
00:02:23I'm not asking her out.
00:02:25Why not?
00:02:27She's perfect.
00:02:29Did you see her hands?
00:02:31I wasn't looking at her hands.
00:02:34Experience, wit, intellect.
00:02:36All revealed by the hands.
00:02:38Does she have fat hands?
00:02:39She had hands like a...
00:02:41Like a steel worker?
00:02:43She had hands like a...
00:02:47Child.
00:02:53I worry about you, Oscar.
00:02:55I really do.
00:02:55Why?
00:02:56Because I'm interested in more than websites?
00:02:58Because you're fetishizing hands.
00:03:00I wouldn't call it a fetish.
00:03:02You find reasons not to like things.
00:03:05That's not true.
00:03:06Like what?
00:03:07Like Miranda Spear.
00:03:09Like simple explanations.
00:03:10I like things I don't understand.
00:03:13You're never gonna get laid that way.
00:03:14It's not all about getting laid, Charlie.
00:03:17Yeah, it is.
00:03:18No, it isn't.
00:03:18It is so.
00:03:20What about love?
00:03:21Yeah, I've heard of it.
00:03:24It's not like you're in love with someone.
00:03:30I knew something was up.
00:03:33Wow, the grubber in love.
00:03:36Who the hell is it?
00:03:37Someone I've known for a while.
00:03:41Do I know her?
00:03:42She doesn't even know.
00:03:44Yet.
00:03:47Alright.
00:03:49When do you plan on telling her?
00:03:50That's the thing.
00:03:51I want to find the right time.
00:03:53Definitely this weekend.
00:03:55Maybe tonight.
00:03:56Is she coming over for Thanksgiving?
00:03:58She'll be there.
00:03:59Why?
00:04:00I'm coming over for pie.
00:04:02No, you're not.
00:04:03You're not invited.
00:04:05Grubs.
00:04:18Hi, cat boy.
00:04:19Hey, Jimmy.
00:04:20Hope for Thanksgiving?
00:04:22That's right.
00:04:24What happened to your hair?
00:04:25I combed it.
00:04:26I don't like it.
00:04:30I don't like it.
00:04:38I don't like it.
00:04:42I don't like it.
00:05:05Hi, Oscar.
00:05:06Hi, Mrs. Slutter.
00:05:07Diane, please.
00:05:08Diane, have you seen Eve anywhere?
00:05:10Yeah, she was just here.
00:05:12Oh, she went to go get some keys, so she can get in a lab tomorrow.
00:05:16So far?
00:05:17Excuse me.
00:05:31So, Oscar, can we plan on seeing you at Columbia?
00:05:35Leave him alone, Dad. He's only a sophomore.
00:05:38It's never too early to think about college, Daphne, as it would behoove you to realize.
00:05:41Actually, Professor Tish, I have given some thought to Columbia.
00:05:44Pre-med.
00:05:46Not history?
00:05:47Excuse me?
00:05:48May I have your attention, everybody?
00:05:51I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'd like to make a short Thanksgiving toast
00:05:55and then invite you all to commence eating.
00:06:00First of all, I'd like to apologize to Native Americans everywhere
00:06:04for decimating their population and basically stealing this country from...
00:06:08Speak to antiquity, Stanley.
00:06:10No, no, no. I'm a traditionalist, and far be it from me to dispense with any excuse
00:06:14to eat turkey and pecan pie.
00:06:17And so, to my recently returned prodigal son.
00:06:21You're here.
00:06:23To my distinguished colleagues at the Columbia History Department and their families.
00:06:39You're here.
00:06:42To my lovely wife, Eve.
00:06:44I'm so sorry.
00:06:45She may be the face I can't forget.
00:06:51A trace of pleasure or regret.
00:06:54May be the treasure or the price I have to pay.
00:07:01She.
00:07:04She.
00:07:06She.
00:07:07You turn the corner, you've been hidden away on this small forgotten back street.
00:07:11It's an old, old house.
00:07:13How's your mom, Oscar?
00:07:14She's still in France?
00:07:16Yeah, she went back a while ago.
00:07:18When's the last time you saw her?
00:07:19I went back last summer.
00:07:24I wish I had an exotic French mother.
00:07:27There's nothing exotic about mothers who live on the Upper East Side.
00:07:31Well, they can be exotic in their own way.
00:07:33You walk in and it's a home.
00:07:35A timeless home.
00:07:36You feel it.
00:07:37It's hard to put it into words.
00:07:40My mom brings me back this stupid...
00:07:42That's not what I'm saying.
00:07:43What I'm saying is that you need a very intimate, rockin' shirt that's too small or whatever.
00:07:50I mean, that's cool.
00:07:51You've got that, like, that look, that, like, far away look.
00:07:54That's cool.
00:07:55I've been studying for four days things.
00:08:11It sounded beautiful.
00:08:13What's that?
00:08:15A timeless home.
00:08:16Oh.
00:08:18Thanks.
00:08:19I get a little caught up in the whole...
00:08:22I don't know...
00:08:23No, that's good.
00:08:25It's good to get caught up in the feeling of something.
00:08:28Or, uh...
00:08:29I mean, if everything could be reduced to verbalizable facts, we wouldn't have any need for music,
00:08:34would we?
00:08:38You might have a point there.
00:08:41Of course I have a point.
00:08:43A timeless home that's like the title of some great lost Puccini operetta.
00:08:51You're sweet, you know that?
00:08:53Yeah.
00:08:54So how are things at Chauncey?
00:08:57Not bad.
00:08:59Any girls there?
00:09:01Sure there are girls.
00:09:03Well...
00:09:04Any you like?
00:09:05Well, they're mostly pretty dumb.
00:09:07They can't all be dumb.
00:09:09It just seems like they haven't lived that much, you know?
00:09:14Well, we're talking about sophomores, right?
00:09:17Yeah.
00:09:19Well, maybe you should give them a chance, Oscar.
00:09:21I mean...
00:09:23They might have lived more than you think.
00:09:27Sure.
00:09:30You have high expectations, don't you, Oscar?
00:09:40Hey.
00:09:44How are you?
00:09:45Good.
00:09:50It's better.
00:09:51You don't want back problems before you're 40.
00:09:55So how's the chiropedy business?
00:09:58Chiropity is feet.
00:10:00Chiropractic?
00:10:02It's pretty good.
00:10:04I stare at backs all day.
00:10:06I tell a lot about a person by their back.
00:10:09I always thought of my spine as incredibly personal.
00:10:12I don't think I could show my spine to just anyone.
00:10:15Maybe if you were in enough pain, you could.
00:10:17Not even then, maybe.
00:10:19Put a couple of cubes in there, would you, Don?
00:10:20Sure.
00:10:21I'm sitting in a little honest of yours.
00:10:23Great.
00:10:25I'm sweet.
00:10:32Oscar?
00:10:33I know, Professor Charman.
00:10:40As if it wasn't obvious.
00:10:43Who is this?
00:10:46Voltaire?
00:10:48Oscar?
00:10:49Voltaire said, if God did not exist, he would have to be invented.
00:10:55He was a funny guy.
00:10:59Oscar.
00:11:02Excuse moi.
00:11:08Professor Tish wants to stay and gossip about our colleagues a little longer.
00:11:12Will you walk Daphne home?
00:11:13Dad?
00:11:14No, Daphne's been taking the subway since she was eight.
00:11:16She's a good looking girl, don't you think?
00:11:18She's alright.
00:11:20Well, it would be a nice gesture.
00:11:22An empty gesture.
00:11:23No, Dad, I'm fatigued this evening.
00:11:24I've been on trains, in cars.
00:11:26I've had two lengthy debates on Voltaire and Henry Miller, both of which I won incidentally.
00:11:30I haven't unpacked yet.
00:11:32I've got a lot of things to do and I'm not going to stand here and argue about it with
00:11:34you, alright?
00:11:36Do you want to go with me to the Moby concert on Sunday?
00:11:39Not really.
00:11:42I don't go in much for contemporary pop music.
00:11:45What do you go in for?
00:11:47I don't know, regular stuff.
00:11:49Oscar, contemporary pop music is regular stuff for a 15 year old.
00:11:55Voltaire or whatever is not regular.
00:11:58Well, we differ.
00:11:59Yeah.
00:12:02God, you're like a 40 year old job to a 15 year old's body.
00:12:06I mean, it's not a bad body.
00:12:08Taxi!
00:12:13Hold on.
00:12:15Come on.
00:12:19I live six blocks from here.
00:12:22It's cold.
00:12:2570th and Lex.
00:12:26I have to wake up early.
00:12:27You are so weird.
00:12:29Okay, safe trip.
00:12:51Happy Thanksgiving, pal.
00:12:56Happy Thanksgiving, pal.
00:13:08Say, how old are you anyway?
00:13:1140.
00:13:13Me too.
00:13:17Doesn't that suck?
00:13:19That's not so bad.
00:13:21Well, your wife probably didn't leave you.
00:13:24I'm not married, actually.
00:13:26Well, don't wait too long.
00:13:28Well, the best one's going to take it.
00:13:31I hear you there.
00:13:41I love the French songs of this time.
00:13:48You're not French.
00:13:50It's part of my act.
00:13:52What act?
00:13:54You gonna buy me a drink?
00:13:56Well, the lady's dry.
00:14:00Well, I gotta go feed the cat.
00:14:06Why so glum chum?
00:14:08I have high expectations.
00:14:12Yeah, I know what you mean.

00:15:30My wallet was stolen. You got money? Sort of. What do you mean sort of?
00:15:36She was very pleasant about it.

00:16:00Oh, got chili in here. Hey, that's Eve's scarf. Yeah.

00:16:47Diane?
00:16:48Mm-hmm?
00:16:48What's it like being 40?
00:16:52Not as bad as people make out. Except everyone you know seems kind of tired.
00:16:57Worn out, you mean?
00:16:58Yeah, like they've seen it all before.
00:17:03Eve's not like that.
00:17:05No, Eve's not like that.
00:17:08And you're not like that.
00:17:10It's nice.
00:17:12You know what?
00:17:13This is really hard to do with your sweater on.
00:17:16I know.
00:17:18I know what you mean.
00:17:42Oh, God.
00:17:48Oh, my God.
00:18:29Oh, jeez.
00:18:44Oh, my God.
00:19:14Oh, my God.
00:19:51Oh, my God.
00:20:12You're kind of young, aren't you?
00:20:14Yes.
00:20:15Way too young.
00:20:16Young and stupid.
00:20:19Pinched nerve?
00:20:20Excuse me?
00:20:21Did you twist your neck or something?
00:20:23Hell, I didn't see a chiropractor till I turned 40.
00:20:26Oh, yeah.
00:20:28Yeah, um, a very pinched nerve.
00:20:29Actually, three of them, um, medial collateral, collateral, and hypercollateral, although the hyper wasn't quite as severe.
00:20:36So the old girl give you your money's worth?
00:20:40Good morning.
00:20:41Didn't hear you come in.
00:20:41I just got here.
00:20:43Oscar Harry was saying you worked him over pretty good.
00:20:46No, I didn't.
00:20:47I mean, yes, you worked out the pinched nerve in my back.
00:20:50Yeah, he had quite a knotted muscle.
00:20:52My God, the pain right here on my shoulder.
00:20:55Took a lot of work.
00:20:56Thank God my vocation gives me such pleasure.
00:20:59We should all be so blessed.
00:21:02Well, thanks again, Mrs. Lauder.

00:29:12Yeah, I know you like them.
00:29:18So what are you working on?
00:29:19I'm monitoring the depolarization of cardiac myocytes.
00:29:25Oh.
00:29:26Hmm.
00:29:39Pericardium, mitral, aorta.
00:29:46Such beautiful words.
00:29:49Poetry.
00:29:50Poetry.
00:29:52Never thought of it that way.
00:29:54It's a pretty complicated business.
00:29:57No.
00:29:59The heart is simple.
00:30:01Fixing it is complicated.
00:30:06So when you're working on whatever it is you're working on, I mean, how do you see the heart as
00:30:17anything more than a...
00:30:20Yeah.
00:30:22I mean, in the end it's just an organ, right?
00:30:25But symbolically...
00:30:28Your heart can fit right in my hand.
00:30:31The heart is this incredibly smart machine.
00:30:34It beats 70 to 80 times a minute, and in the space of each beat, sends deoxygenated blood to your
00:30:40lungs and oxygenated blood to all your organs.
00:30:44Cut the aorta, and you'll release the jet of blood that hits the ceiling.
00:30:48Now, who needs to use it as a symbol when the thing itself is so magnificent?
00:30:54The thing itself?
00:30:56Hmm.
00:31:01Well, as a symbol, it should be replaced.
00:31:04The heart's had its day.
00:31:05Why not the kidney as a symbol of love, or the liver?
00:31:09Hmm.
00:31:10You broke my liver.
00:31:12My liver aches for you?
00:31:15Doesn't rhyme as well, you know, for country songs and Shakespeare.
00:31:19Sure it does.
00:31:21I'm a quiver.
00:31:23Please, deliver.
00:31:26Deep as a river, my love, my liver.
00:31:30I just can't...
00:31:37Hello?
00:31:38Hi.
00:31:40Oscar's here, visiting.
00:31:43Yeah.
00:31:45I know.
00:31:47Okay.
00:31:48Your father says don't forget we're having dinner tonight.
00:31:51I haven't forgotten.
00:31:55He says, did you ask Miranda Spear to join us?
00:32:00Who?
00:32:01Miranda Spear.
00:32:01No, no.
00:32:02Tonight's family night.
00:32:03Well, don't worry about that, Oscar.
00:32:05I mean, Diane is coming.
00:32:07Diane?
00:32:09And Phil.
00:32:11Sure would be nice to see Diane and Phil.
00:32:14Have you met Phil?
00:32:17I think so.
00:32:19Well, Phil isn't coming, okay?
00:32:21Diane likes to keep her options open.
00:32:23It's just Diane, right?
00:32:25Yeah, I thought so.
00:32:30Hey, buddy.
00:32:31Come on in.
00:32:34Is Diane around?
00:32:35She isn't.
00:32:36Is your back still bothering you?
00:32:38Well, come on in.
00:32:38I'll give you a rubber duck.
00:32:40Thanks.
00:32:40Anyway, I'd rather not trust my back to a dentist.
00:32:42The old gal taught me a few tricks.
00:32:45Why do you call her old gal?
00:32:46You make her sound like she's a horse.
00:32:48Actually, she's more of a wildcat.
00:32:51Diane's with the girls down at Payard
00:32:52if your back's really that bad.
00:32:55Hey, you know, buddy,
00:32:57you're going to have to learn to relax.
00:32:59You're going to be dead before you reach 20.
00:33:42Hey.
00:33:43What's up?
00:33:43Here you go.
00:33:45This was my grandmother.
00:33:46It was good.
00:33:46Really?
00:33:47No, you didn't.
00:33:48Excuse me.
00:33:54Diane?
00:33:56Can I talk to you for a minute, please?
00:33:58You must be Oscar.
00:34:01I'm Samantha.
00:34:04So, it sounds like you have some interesting ideas about French philosophy.
00:34:08Yes, Diane was telling us that you regard Voltaire as a comedian.
00:34:20Well, I think that when you look at his body...
00:34:23Excuse me. Diane, can I talk to you for a minute, please?
00:34:26In a minute, Oscar.
00:34:28Oscar.
00:34:30Have a seat.
00:34:34The assertion that all man's actions are essentially self-serving
00:34:37has never been taken into spirit of what's intended, which was a quote.
00:34:41A quote.
00:34:43And that's what Adam Smith was really saying in The Wealth of Nations.
00:34:47At least that's what I've always thought.
00:34:48More tea, Oscar.
00:34:50Thank you, Abigail.
00:34:52Now, most people are going to tell you that Kunis believes in the inherent goodness.
00:34:56But, Oscar, I don't see how you can dismiss Mirabeau so easily.
00:35:00Mirabeau never even got out of the gate.
00:35:02Oh.
00:35:03You naughty girl.
00:35:05Where did you float?
00:35:06Isn't he lovely?
00:35:07He's so passionate.
00:35:09And he really listens.
00:35:12Do you want to take him on?
00:35:13Yeah.
00:35:14Go ahead.
00:35:15Oscar.
00:35:16I'd love to chat more with you about this sometime.
00:35:19Or, um, about anything.
00:35:22Oh.
00:35:22Pretty busy with midterms and all.
00:35:25Anything.
00:35:26Anytime.
00:35:28Bye, Oscar.
00:35:29Bye, Samantha.
00:35:30Thanks.
00:35:31Abigail.
00:35:31Bye, girls.
00:35:39Well, Oscar, it was a pleasure to meet you.
00:35:42Pleasure.
00:35:43You two be good.
00:35:46I'll call you tomorrow.
00:35:51Bye, Ian.
00:35:53You didn't, uh, tell anybody about what happened last night, did you?
00:35:57It doesn't matter if I had.
00:35:59You're a grown-up.
00:36:00Or close enough.
00:36:03Did you?
00:36:07I didn't say anything definite.
00:36:11I may have hinted a little.
00:36:12Hinted?
00:36:13Why do they need hints?
00:36:14This isn't charades.
00:36:15What if one of them tells Phil?
00:36:17Phil Schmill.
00:36:19Phil Schmill?
00:36:20That isn't very nice.
00:36:21That isn't very sensitive at all.
00:36:23Oscar, please.
00:36:24Phil and I are not an item.
00:36:27Excuse me.
00:36:28There's no smoking.
00:36:32Forget about Phil.
00:36:35Diane, I'd like to ask you not to come to dinner tonight.
00:36:40Not go to Cafe Balou?
00:36:41Are you kidding?
00:36:42Your father's paying.
00:36:43I want to minimize the likelihood of your blabbing to Eve.
00:36:48Maybe you've already told Eve.
00:36:50I haven't even seen Eve yet.
00:36:53Yet?
00:36:53Do you plan to tell her?
00:36:55Oscar, Eve and I grew up together.
00:37:00Stories I could tell you about Eve when we were 15.
00:37:02You wouldn't have recognized her.
00:37:03I don't want to hear it.
00:37:04When we were 15, Eve had this thing for Elvis.
00:37:09Elvis Presley?
00:37:11Flip for any guy in sideburns.
00:37:13Sideburns?
00:37:14What's so great about sideburns?
00:37:16I don't know.
00:37:17The strangest things made her happy.
00:37:20She was always happy back then.
00:37:22Back then?
00:37:24Are you saying now she isn't?
00:37:28No, that wasn't my intention.
00:37:31Look, you know what?
00:37:32Let's just forget it.
00:37:33I shouldn't have said anything.
00:37:34We can't just forget it.
00:37:35We're talking about Eve's happiness here.
00:37:38Well, I guess I can confide in you.
00:37:41We're close now, right?
00:37:42In a manner of speaking.
00:37:44Okay.
00:37:46I don't think Eve is happy.
00:37:49There's a void.
00:37:50Something's missing.
00:37:52What makes you say that?
00:37:54It's a woman thing.
00:37:55I sense it.
00:37:56I feel it.
00:37:57Plus, last week she said there was a void and something was missing.
00:38:01Did she say what?
00:38:03Couldn't put her finger on it.
00:38:09Look, I wouldn't worry about it.
00:38:10She'll get over it.
00:38:18So, who is this girl?
00:38:20A friend of the family's.
00:38:22You gonna see each other again?
00:38:24Tonight.
00:38:25But her best friend's gonna be there.
00:38:28Oh, is the friend cute?
00:38:30I wouldn't call her cute, exactly.
00:38:32I mean, would I like her?
00:38:35No.
00:38:35No, I slept with her last night.
00:38:39With the friend?
00:38:41Damn.
00:38:42Yeah, with the friend.
00:38:45But you don't like the friend?
00:38:47Not really.
00:38:48Not like that.
00:38:50But you're going to dinner with both of them?
00:38:53The woman you like and the woman you slept with?
00:38:56Yeah.
00:38:57My dad's coming, too.
00:39:01Nothing simple for the grubber.
00:39:09Talk to me, Oscar.
00:39:11What's going on here?
00:39:13I don't know, Charlie.
00:39:15I found her.
00:39:16The girl with the great hands.
00:39:18Terrific hands.
00:39:20You gonna tell me your name?
00:39:26Eve.
00:39:27Eve.
00:39:28Like your mother.
00:39:29Eve's not my mother.
00:39:31She's my stepmother.
00:39:31We're not blood relatives at all.
00:39:35Wait.
00:39:36So...
00:39:37Your Eve is that Eve.
00:39:39Your mother.
00:39:40She's very wise.
00:39:43And soft.
00:39:46Are you out of your mind?
00:39:48Do you want to end up in hell or something?
00:39:50Charlie, I love her.
00:39:52Oscar, Eve is married.
00:39:55To your father.
00:39:56I know.
00:39:57But I sense there's a void there.
00:39:58Something missing.
00:39:59She needs something more in her life.
00:40:01Oh.
00:40:02And that would be you.
00:40:03Her stepson.
00:40:07I mean, hey, I know you're French.
00:40:09And you have like a different idea of family relations.
00:40:12But...
00:40:14Wait.
00:40:15This means you slept with Diane.
00:40:18I realized that was a mistake.
00:40:20She was wearing Eve's scarf.
00:40:21It smelled of her perfume.
00:40:22I got confused.
00:40:26I mean, Diane's pretty hot for that age group.
00:40:31These look fake.
00:40:34You really fucked up.
00:40:36Charlie, help me.
00:40:37I need sideburns.
00:40:40All right.
00:40:41Let me think.
00:41:08I know we've talked about it to the two of us.
00:41:12But the Shermans love.
00:41:13They do.
00:41:13It turns out.
00:41:14Is it all right with you if they come with us?
00:41:17Honey?
00:41:18Did you hear me?
00:41:22Sure, sir.
00:41:24Norm knows Fidelio at the back of his home.
00:41:26They'll be humming along like he did with Carmen.
00:41:29Can you remember that?
00:41:37Eve, have you seen my tie?
00:41:41Honey?
00:41:53Hi.
00:41:54Hi.
00:41:58You look nice.
00:42:01You look...
00:42:04Um...
00:42:05Different?
00:42:07Worse or better.
00:42:10Very handsome.
00:42:12You're making me nervous.
00:42:13Relax.
00:42:14I'll be very good tonight.
00:42:15Just don't let me drink.
00:42:22And he looks over at me and he goes,
00:42:24You know, you have really beautiful eyes.
00:42:27And I go,
00:42:28Yeah.
00:42:29I know that.
00:42:30But, you know, we're in a movie theater.
00:42:32There's no way you can see my eyes.
00:42:34It's dark.
00:42:34So he goes,
00:42:36You know what's wrong with a model woman?
00:42:39They're acutely sensitive.
00:42:40So, Oscar.
00:42:42Are you happy at Chauncey?
00:42:44You already asked me that, Dad.
00:42:46I did.
00:42:47And what did you say?
00:42:49I said it was okay.
00:42:50Sometimes you don't listen so good.
00:42:52So well.
00:42:53Listen so well.
00:42:54You see, are you correct?
00:42:56Are you out of facts?
00:42:57Or you give your own little anecdotes,
00:42:58But you don't really absorb the reason the person is saying the thing that she is.
00:43:02She?
00:43:02Me.
00:43:03I mean.
00:43:04The reason I'm telling you something.
00:43:06Hmm.
00:43:06That's interesting.
00:43:08And silence, Dad.
00:43:10Silence?
00:43:10Listen to what it tells you.
00:43:12Sometimes it's peaceful.
00:43:14Sometimes it's a shrill scream.
00:43:30Honey, this is Bob Spear.
00:43:32Oh, pleased to meet you.
00:43:33This is my daughter, Miranda.
00:43:35Oh, how's Chauncey treating you, Miranda?
00:43:37Good.
00:43:37Oh, have a nice holiday.
00:43:39You too.
00:43:40Nice to meet you.
00:43:41Nice to meet you.
00:43:42Hello, I'm Stanley Grubman.
00:43:44Oscar's father.
00:43:45Oscar Grubman?
00:43:46He's here.
00:43:47This is such a coincidence.
00:43:48We were just talking about you, uh, today.
00:43:52About, uh...
00:43:53Zach!
00:43:54Hi, Miranda.
00:43:54I was just meeting your friend here.
00:43:57And if you don't mind my saying so, she is a little firecracker.
00:44:00I think Eve wants to see you.
00:44:01She has to give you a pill or something.
00:44:03What pill?
00:44:04For your condition.
00:44:06For my cholesterol?
00:44:07Yes, yes.
00:44:08Your cholesterol.
00:44:09I'm sorry.
00:44:10He gets a little confused.
00:44:12How are you, Oscar?
00:44:13Uh, fine.
00:44:14Happy Thanksgiving.
00:44:17What are you two talking about?
00:44:20Colorado?
00:44:21What's this about pills?
00:44:23He's never been to Colorado.
00:44:26Oscar, you're acting very strangely.
00:44:28What pills?
00:44:30Bonsoir.
00:44:31Would you like to take something to drinks?
00:44:33Uh, may we see a wine list, please?
00:44:34Uh, perfect.
00:44:36You want to drink.
00:44:37No wine.
00:44:40No wine.
00:44:41Pardon?
00:44:42The boys.
00:44:43He says you're not in the mood for wine.
00:44:45Oscar.
00:44:50Oscar?
00:44:51I'm in the mood.
00:44:53Well, I'll see.
00:44:55Should we take a break once in a while?
00:44:57I mean, what are we dependent?
00:44:58We can't have a good time without alcohol?
00:44:59Oscar, you're making this sound as if we have a problem.
00:45:05Fine.
00:45:05Fine.
00:45:06Wine list, please.
00:45:15But why Portugal?
00:45:16When people go to Portugal, I always think all the hotel rooms in Spain must have been booked.
00:45:21See, to me, Portugal is the one that's always held...
00:45:24You know what you're gonna have?
00:45:24No mystery.
00:45:27Oh.
00:45:29None for me, thanks.
00:45:34Oh.
00:45:52None for me, thanks.
00:46:01Peter says I may have a shot at the English prize if I read Babel properly.
00:46:05That is, taking into account the Times instead of reading it with a contemporary slant.
00:46:09You can't discount history, Oscar.
00:46:13No, you can't.
00:46:15You can't discount it at all.
00:46:19The sales representative, this 25-year-old kid, was talking to me about book jackets for
00:46:25four hours.
00:46:25I went cross-eyed.
00:46:27He just...
00:46:27How many pages you got there, Stanley?
00:46:29Well, I have about 700.
00:46:31How are you?
00:46:33I'm good.
00:46:35No.
00:46:36How are you?
00:46:39I'm good, Oscar.
00:46:41It's good to see you.
00:46:42You too.
00:46:45Are you sure you don't have a girlfriend at Chauncey?
00:46:47I would think they'd be lining up.
00:46:53Eve, I've been thinking about maybe going pre-med, maybe Columbia.
00:46:58I mean, I'd be in the city, we could meet, to go with my homework.
00:47:04I mean, if you'd be willing.
00:47:06Well, I'd love to, Oscar, but you love literature.
00:47:11You're fluent in French, you should be a scholar.
00:47:14A lot of medicine's in Latin, right?
00:47:16So I figure, French, Latin.
00:47:18I'm not doing so badly in biology.
00:47:20I mean, I know what an isotope is.
00:47:22But if you went pre-med, you couldn't get caught up in the poetry of pericardium.
00:47:28I would get caught up in the poetry of the thing itself, like you do.
00:47:31Don't quote me back to myself.
00:47:34Is the world really waiting for another academic?
00:47:36This is a subject, something I am passionate about.
00:47:39Diane?
00:47:41Diane, would you pass the bread, please?
00:47:52Are you coming down with something?
00:47:53I'm fine.
00:47:55Are we still playing tennis tomorrow?
00:47:56Oh, is that tomorrow tennis?
00:47:59Don't you think he's had enough?
00:48:00If I found it, I'd go look at some first editions he just bought.
00:48:03He suspects he's been swindled.
00:48:05You can't be a little more relaxed. I don't say anything.
00:48:09You're nervous.
00:48:11Okay.
00:48:12Maybe you could go to Norm's in the afternoon.
00:48:15I could, I could go in the afternoon.
00:48:18I could go in the afternoon.
00:48:21I could go in the afternoon.
00:48:24I could go in the afternoon.
00:48:26I could go in the afternoon.
00:48:27The thing is, I hate tennis.
00:48:29But I have the court booked.
00:48:31I'll play tennis with you, Eve, I love tennis.
00:48:34Yes, Oscar's a wonderful sport.
00:48:36There you go, Oscar will play with you.
00:48:38He will? You don't mind?
00:48:40Not at all.
00:48:41Oscar is very gallant.
00:48:44Oscar has a new girlfriend.
00:48:47Really?
00:48:48It seems last evening he had quite the late night conversation.
00:48:52Oh, tell us about it.
00:48:55Diane, wine is bad for your heart.
00:48:57Oh.
00:48:59I thought wine was good for your heart.
00:49:01It is, in moderation.
00:49:03So who is this girl, Oscar?
00:49:05She's quite a little number by the looks of her.
00:49:08I thought the girls at Chauncey hadn't lived enough.
00:49:10Can we change the subject, please?
00:49:17Well, if we're going to change the subject, I'm going to excuse myself for the ladies' room.
00:49:28Excuse me.
00:49:33I think that's why he's acting so strange.
00:49:39What the hell are you doing?
00:49:40What do you mean?
00:49:41What do I mean?
00:49:43You're drinking, you're making these jokes, you have your foot in my crotch.
00:49:46Lucina.
00:49:47Lucina, I asked you not to let them know.
00:49:49Oh.
00:49:52Oh, my.
00:49:54What is it?
00:49:57Something very unusual.
00:50:03No one knows anything.
00:50:24What is that on your face?
00:50:27What?
00:50:32Ow!
00:50:35Do you two have something you'd like to share with us?
00:50:38What?
00:50:46Oh, God.
00:50:48What's going on?
00:50:50Well...
00:50:51Okay.
00:50:52I think what we're talking about here is Pruefrager's theory of distortion, which states that
00:50:56prismatic effect of a body reflected on a plane at a certain angle creates an illusion.
00:51:00Stanley, what is it?
00:51:01An illusion.
00:51:02Oh, what the hell, we're all adults here.
00:51:04We're...
00:51:05No, actually we're not.
00:51:07Eve.
00:51:10Oscar and I...
00:51:11Both speak French.
00:51:14Oscar and I...
00:51:16are lovers.
00:51:19What?
00:51:20What?
00:51:21Are you drunk?
00:51:22Oscar, just relax.
00:51:23I saw them in the mirror.
00:51:25I just hope Miranda Spears didn't see it too.
00:51:28Dad, there is no Miranda Spear.
00:51:31There is no Miranda...
00:51:32What are you talking about?
00:51:33I shook hands with her father.
00:51:34When did this happen?
00:51:36Last night?
00:51:40Stanley...
00:51:41Of course, you know, it's not that uncommon in ancient Rome.
00:51:44Fifty-year-old men would marry fourteen-year-old girls.
00:51:47This is not ancient Rome.
00:51:48I am nowhere near fifty.
00:51:51Well, it is all very the graduate.
00:51:53Except that Oscar hasn't graduated.
00:52:19So you're coming to a good soon.
00:52:22Oh, I just have to finish these chapter notes.
00:52:26Good-night, sweetheart.
00:52:32Oh, so you're coming to a good soon?
00:52:46i just don't see why you're so upset i'm entrusted with this welfare diane i mean
00:52:51can you imagine if oscar's mother found out she's french isn't she they're not all like that
00:52:58okay you're taking advantage of him oh bullshit eve oscar is a smart kid now there are some 40-year
00:53:07-old
00:53:07men of whom i am taking advantage am i overreacting he's 15 well you and i were hardly innocent when
00:53:14we were 15 who went to the jefferson airplane concert and pulled down their tube top and made
00:53:20out with all three guys okay all right that's different i know why you're upset you're upset
00:53:29because you know that deep down inside if our situations were reversed you would have done
00:53:33the exact same thing don't be ridiculous you would have with a 15 year old not on your life
00:53:40not just a 15 year old a smart sweet passionate person you're not the only one with something
00:53:48i'm missing samantha stedman gave oscar her phone number and you let her he can take care of
00:53:58himself i'm not his mother neither are you what is wrong with your friends nothing jeez and if you
00:54:07hadn't met somebody in a really long time who was very excited about life you would consider a 15 year
00:54:20old
00:54:21you
00:54:22you
00:54:24you
00:54:24you
00:54:26you
00:54:29you
00:54:41you
00:54:42you
00:54:44you
00:55:00you
00:55:00you
00:55:01you
00:55:01you
00:55:03you
00:55:07you
00:55:14you
00:55:16you

00:55:55you
00:55:55you
00:55:56you
00:55:56you
00:55:56You're really fond of.
00:56:00And yes, Eve, true passion does still exist.
00:56:05And I know this because I'm the man who feels true passion.
00:56:31I think you'll be fine.
00:56:38If you're going to mess with the stuff of Greek tragedies, Oscar, you're going to have to be prepared for
00:56:42the fallout.
00:56:44Charlie, help me.
00:56:48Okay, let's look at this rationally.
00:56:51If you had met even, say, a coffee shop, would you still be attracted to her?
00:56:55I mean, it's not just because she's your mother, is it?
00:56:58She's not my mother. Stop saying that.
00:57:02Okay, look, maybe it's not your fault.
00:57:06I mean, since your father's been married to another woman, in the eyes of the church, he's a polygamist.
00:57:11So maybe you're just genetically predisposed, that is, programmed to repeat the mistakes or sins of your biological...
00:57:20Shut up, Charlie.
00:57:27You kids having fun?
00:57:28Do you want some cookies or anything?
00:57:30No, Ma. We're fine.
00:57:32My Oscar can't believe how big you've gotten.
00:57:35Yeah, I guess I hit quite a spurt there.
00:57:38All right.
00:57:38Yeah.
00:57:39All right, Ma.
00:57:40Thanks.
00:57:41And I'll see you later.
00:57:44Stick to your own, Ma, will you?
00:58:04Hey, Jimmy.
00:58:06What's on your mind, Temple?
00:58:09Nobody calls me that anymore, Jimmy.
00:58:12What do they call you now?
00:58:13It's stupid.
00:58:18Everything's messed up.
00:58:20Well, what's the trouble, Ted?
00:58:24Stupid.
00:58:27Women, I guess.
00:58:29Not girls.
00:58:31No, they're definitely women.
00:58:36No women.
00:58:38No crime.
00:58:43Thanks for that, Jimmy.
00:58:44No, no, they're all.
00:58:45No.
00:58:47No.
00:58:50No.
00:58:55I didn't know I was there, but I wouldn't know.
00:58:57I wasn't...
00:58:59I didn't know, Estroy.
00:58:59No.
00:59:02What a day is when we get on my internet.
00:59:23I made you a sandwich.
00:59:27Thanks.
00:59:32Grilled cheese, my favorite.
00:59:35I know.
00:59:38Good thing it's something I can actually cook.
00:59:42Dad always burns them.
00:59:45He won't use Teflon.
00:59:48Well, he's a traditionalist.
00:59:52They use, um, Teflon to make replacement hog valves, right?
00:59:58You know way too much for a 15-year-old.
01:00:01Nothing worth knowing.
01:00:03That's not true, Oscar.
01:00:05Plenty worth knowing.
01:00:11You know, with Diane...
01:00:18Oscar, I've already decided it's really none of my business.
01:00:23You're old enough to make your own decisions.
01:00:25I want to explain.
01:00:28With Diane, well, it was Teflon sex.
01:00:36Pardon me?
01:00:36She was doing this thing to my back, pressing, and I was drunk.
01:00:40She's a chiropractor, that kind of thing.
01:00:42That kind of thing?
01:00:43Hormones racing out of control, or pheromones.
01:00:47I'm not that kind of a person.
01:00:51You told me once that it could be years before anyone really understood what the hell I was talking about,
01:00:57but that the day would come when everyone caught up to me.
01:01:01And while I knew that maybe you were just being kind, I knew one thing.
01:01:09That I love.
01:01:13Things.
01:01:16And...
01:01:17And, uh...
01:01:18That's okay.
01:01:19And there was Diane, and she was...
01:01:24wearing your scarf.
01:01:48Do the dishes.
01:01:58Do the dishes.
01:04:31Palms off the bottom of the deck.
01:04:45Oscar, have you noticed anything different about Eve this weekend?
01:04:53Different?
01:04:55Like what?
01:04:57I don't know.
01:04:58For the last few months, she's been going to bed earlier.
01:05:05Maybe she's just tired or...
01:05:11For what?
01:05:14I don't know what.
01:05:16Maybe I'm missing something.
01:05:18I thought about what you said last night.
01:05:20Maybe I haven't been listening too well.
01:05:27Then again, maybe I'm just imagining things.
01:05:50Time, get you playing right on time.
01:05:54I know you're part of the front.
01:06:02Fly down Mexico.
01:06:11Here I am.
01:06:15The only little boy in New York.
01:06:22I get the news I need on the weather report.
01:06:28I can gather all the news I need on the weather report.
01:06:35Hey, I've got nothing to do today.
01:06:40But smile, no, no, no, no, no.
01:06:45Here I am.
01:06:47The only little boy in New York.
01:06:55Half of the time we're gone.
01:06:58But we don't know where.
01:06:59And we don't know where.
01:07:04High.
01:07:10High.
01:07:12High.
01:07:16I'll get your ticket.
01:07:17I'll be right back.
01:07:26You have a loose button.
01:07:30I'd sew it for you, but I don't sew.
01:07:34I know.
01:07:35I'm not a very good mother, stepmother.
01:07:40Who says they have to cook and sew?
01:07:42Well, anyway, you know how to monitor cardiac myocytes.
01:07:48That's enough.
01:07:56How's your liver?
01:07:59Hurts.
01:08:01Broken?
01:08:02No.
