00:10No mom would do better than this.
00:13It's going under brown. What's the difference?
00:15He would have wanted something nicer.
00:17Well, he should have thought about that before he left us.
00:29Lilies are a classic option.
00:31Some prefer something more exotic, like an orchid.
00:35You can also spring for a custom arrangement for the reed.
00:39We have an agreement with the florist down the street.
00:42They could work with you if you have a design or a custom.
01:02Your father and I weren't big on parties.
01:05He only gets one of these.
01:06Well, I just don't see why it has to be such a big to-do.
01:10We hired caterers, Mom. You don't have to actually do anything.
01:13Having help is always more work.
01:15They don't know where anything is.
01:17There's never enough food.
01:19There'll probably be plenty of food.
01:22This house isn't big enough for so many people.
01:24Well, Mel offered the house.
01:26And how would that look?
01:27I'll go, Mel look.
01:39I won't play the movies.
01:40I'll go, Mel.
01:57Dad?
02:25A paper shadow in a house of stone
02:29The wooden flag of a drifting dreamboat
02:35I never knew how far the ride was gonna go
02:39Till I look back at the smoke
02:43You can't keep up with the Johnson
02:48Don't wanna run for the roses
02:53I got my pocket opposing
02:59Sometimes I wonder why
03:01Sometimes I wonder why
03:03I just don't have the Johnson
03:08Don't wanna smell their dying roses
03:13I got my pocket full of roses
03:19I don't keep up with the Joneses
03:41As we prepare to commit our brother Ronald Cooper to his final resting place, I'd like to invite his daughter
03:47Allison to honor her father with a song.
03:57I used to play this song when I was younger
04:00And it meant a lot to me
04:02And I'd like to think it meant a lot to him too
04:11Shadows are falling and I'm running out of breath
04:15Keep me in your heart for a while
04:21If I leave you it doesn't mean I love you any less
04:27Keep me in your heart for a while
04:38Keep me in your heart for a while
04:57La la la...
05:07This is what happens
05:10You marry your high school sweetheart
05:12You have a couple kids
05:14You start making money
05:17It's not a lot
05:18But if you keep your nuts small you can save for a rainy day
05:24and those do come so you tell yourself next year is the year you'll travel buy the nice car
05:32you get so accustomed to postponing the reward you forget what it was you wanted
05:37in the first place but that's all right at least you have your health
05:44then on a day like any other day you go to sleep and you don't wake up
05:51and your carefully managed life ends just like that with no warning and no fanfare
05:59laid to rest by a pastor who's never even met you and knowing my father he would have been okay
06:05with
06:05that but i think he would have liked to say goodbye andrew i'm so sorry for your loss

18:31thank you
18:33everything i know from him
18:35but
18:36yeah
18:36my dad was a bull in a china shop
18:38everywhere he went
18:40this one time
18:41he noticed inventory was light
18:42right so he goes and checks into it
18:44because it's a port level issue
18:45so he takes himself all the way to brooklyn piers
18:47in the middle of winter
18:48asks his guys what's going on
18:50right
18:50no one's talking
18:51okay
18:52so he elbows his way onto this massive freighter
18:55i'm talking about one of those huge ships right
18:56arena class 1300 feet
18:58propellers like the size of your house
19:00now the guys start getting antsy
19:02because you know they got a schedule to keep
19:03now this really pisses him off
19:05so he storms into the bridge
19:08starts messing with the controls right
19:10trying to cut the engines
19:11which i guess is some sort of union violation
19:13because this huge longshoreman's association motherfucker
19:17comes after him and says you can't touch shit
19:19my dad gets in his face
19:20yells at him

23:19Sweetheart, you are 16 years old.
23:20You have got to get better at lying to me.
23:24Heat trip. See? Like that.
23:30Is Grandma pissed at us?
23:32No, that's just her face whenever I walk into a room.
23:35You get used to it.
23:37I'm not like that, am I?
23:39Don't sell yourself short, Mom.
23:46Yeah.
23:47Isn't that new where I talk to you?
23:49Yeah, she's great.
23:51It's amazing.
23:54Oh, yeah.
23:55I don't know where you can.
23:56Never felt better.
23:58She's fantastic.
23:58Where's the TV?
24:01Hey, Poe! What the fuck?
24:02Hello? Where are you going?
24:04Wait, wait. Hold up. Hold up. Hold up, hold up.
24:06What's wrong?
24:06What the fuck are you doing?
24:07Your mom asked us to take it down, so we're just bringing it to the garage.
24:10No, she was mistaken.
24:11Please, just put it back.
24:16Really?
24:17Jesus Christ.
24:18I'm sorry.
24:19Your mom seemed really sure about it.
24:20She doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about, and I don't even know what the fuck you're doing here.
24:24That's the grief talking.
24:25No, it isn't.
24:27Look, it was an honest mistake.
24:28I'm sorry.
24:30Yeah, it's fine.
24:34Is that my dad's belt?
24:36Well, yeah, your mom gave it to me, so it looked nice with my suit.
24:40Wow.
24:43Andy.
24:43Where's mom?
24:44I don't know.
24:45She's around here somewhere.
24:46What'd I miss?
24:47Nothing.
24:47I just need to find her.
24:47Well, I think you need to calm down.
24:49I'm fine.
24:49No, you don't look fine.
24:50You look like you're about to murder a widow with a flat screen, and believe me, nobody wants
24:55that more than me, but not today.
24:56Not today, Andy.
24:57Jesus.
24:58Are you high, too?
24:59Yeah.
24:59You want some?
25:01It's stale, but strong.
25:02No, thank you.
25:03Okay, well, you need to take a break.
25:05What?
25:05Yeah.
25:06Tap out.
25:07Go to your room.

26:00Let's go.
26:30These were designed to look like the burnt insignias they used to seal letters with back in the old days.
26:34This was before licking envelopes and text messages, back when people still put periods at the end of their sentences.
26:40The family seal told you who the letter was from.
26:43It told the family who they were, too.
26:46Or who they thought they were.
26:49Only a fool would give Cartier cufflinks to a man who regularly shopped the Brooks Brothers sale rack.
26:55I doubt Ron Cooper even had a shirt that took cufflinks.
26:58But it was his birthday, and I wanted to give him something nice.
27:01So I went with a pair of $4,800 designer cufflinks that he apparently never took out of the box.
27:08Like all gifts, this one said more about the giver than the recipient.
27:13And I didn't love what it said about me.
27:15I didn't know what it said.
27:47how dare you i don't know why you have to take everything so personally i take it personally

30:20Cause I don't like the way it's, I don't like the way it's, I don't like the way it's looking
30:32I get caught looking in the mirror on the regular
30:38And what I see there resembles some competitive
30:43I see things behind things, behind things
30:49And there are rings within rings, within rings
31:30What can I get you?
31:31Size 12 please
31:32Got it
31:37Okay
32:10Hi
32:11Sorry, you were at the cemetery
32:14Elaine, naft
32:15Hi, Andrew Cooper
32:17I know
32:18Do you want to sit down?
32:21Sure, yes, I'd love to
32:29So how did you know my dad?
32:31We were on a bowling team together
32:34We met every Thursday for the past ten years
32:38I thought the bowling team disbanded years ago
32:42We didn't let that stop us
32:46Oh
32:49I see
32:49So you
32:54Does that shock you?
32:58He was a pretty straight-laced guy
33:00He was
33:02He was also a lot of other things
33:05Is that so?
33:12They loved you very much
33:14I'm sure you know that
33:15Yeah
33:19He talked about you a lot
33:21You and your sister
33:25That's funny, he never mentioned you at all
33:28No, I don't suppose he would
33:32So what was the plan?
33:33You guys were going to run off together or something?
33:35God, no
33:36We were both too old for that
33:40I think we were
33:43Just lonely in the same way
33:47And having each other
33:51Well, it made things better
33:55Is it weird that it makes me happy to hear that?
34:03Honestly, I thought we'd have more time
34:06Yeah
34:07You and me both
34:10He worried about you, you know?
34:13Well, I got into some trouble last year
34:16But it's all sorted out
34:18No, he worried about you before that
34:20He worried you might never be happy
34:27Is anyone?
34:29I'd like to think he was
34:30Yeah, I don't know
34:31He took a lot of shit
34:32At home and at work
34:35I think sometimes I felt like he'd just given up
34:40Is that funny?
34:44You're exactly like he said
34:45What do you mean?
34:47You're angry at the world
34:50The world can be a shitty place
34:53Maybe
34:55Maybe there's something in you
34:56That expects too much out of it
34:58So I should just settle for less
35:02Like he did
35:03You think he settled?
35:05I think he deserved more
35:16Ron's life might have looked small to you
35:19But the way he saw it
35:20He had his whole world under one roof
35:25That made him happy
35:33I already miss him
35:40You and me both, honey
35:47You really believe that?
35:48That he was happy?
35:50I think he was happy by nature
35:53I think he found things to be happy about
35:57And for everything else
36:00There was bowling
36:04Yeah
36:05No
36:08No
36:10No
38:04Bye.
