00:10No longer to be better than this.
00:12It's going under brown.
00:14What'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.
00:38We have an agreement with the florist downstream.
00:41They could work with you.
00:43You have a design of your colors.
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.
01:11You 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.
01:18There'll probably be plenty of food.
01:21This house isn't big enough for so many people.
01:24Well, Mel offered the house.
01:26And how would that look?
01:58Dad?
01:59Dad?
02:03Dad?
02:04Dad?
02:07Dad?
02:24A 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
02:58Sometimes I wonder why
03:01Sometimes I wonder why
03:03I just don't have the Johnson
03:09Don't wanna smell their dying roses
03:14I got my pocket full of pulses
03:19I don't keep up with the Johnson
03:41As we prepare to commit our brother Ronald Cooper to his final resting place, I'd like to invite his daughter
03:47Alison to honor her father with a song.
03:56I 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
04:32When you wake up in the morning and you see that crazy sun
04:38Keep me in your heart for a while
04:43Keep me in your heart for a while
04:44There's a train leaving nightly cold
04:47When all is said and done
04:49Keep me in your heart for a while
04:55La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, love
05:01Keep me in your heart for a while
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 in the first
05:37place but that's all right at least you have your health then on a day like any other day
05:47you go to sleep and you don't wake up and your carefully managed life ends just like that
05:54with no warning and no fanfare laid to rest by a pastor who's never even met you
06:02and knowing my father he would have been okay with that but i think he would have liked to say

18:27remember johnny aruta
18:29he was fit
18:30ran a marathon
18:31thank you
18:33everything i know from him
18:35but uh
18:35yeah my dad was a bull in a china shop
18:38right everywhere he went
18:40this one time he 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
18:54i'm talking about one of those huge ships right
18:56arena class 1300 feet
18:58propellers like the size of your house
18:59now the guys start getting antsy
19:01because 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
19:10which i guess is some sort of union violation
19:13because this huge longshoreman's association

23:39Don't sell yourself short, Mom.

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, just put it back.
24:16Really?
24:17Jesus Christ.
24:18I'm sorry.
24:18You get the goddamn TV.
24:20You seem really sure about it, she's trying to help.
24:21Yeah, well, she doesn't know what the fuck she's talking about,
24:22and I don't even know what the fuck you're doing here.
24:24Yeah, that's the grief talking.
24:25No, it isn't.
24:27Look, it was an honest mistake, I'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, she's around here somewhere.
24:46What'd I miss?
24:46Nothing, I 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.
24:53And believe me, nobody wants that more than me, but not today.
24:56Not today, Andy.
24:57Jesus, are you high, too?
24:59Yeah.
24:59You want some?
25:00It's stale, but strong.
25:02No, thank you.
25:03Okay, well, you need to take a break.
25:05What?
25:05Yeah, uh, tap out.
25:07Go to your room.
25:08I'll handle down the fort down here.
25:10She's giving away his stuff.
25:11Well, she's a real bitch on wheels, but what's new?
25:13Allie.
25:14Go.
25:33Uh, she said, she's my fault.
25:56Uh, she said, I can't.
26:28Cartier's wax seal motif cufflinks are designed to look like the burnt insignias they use
26:32to seal letters with back in the old days this was before licking envelopes and text messages
26:36back when people still put periods at the end of their sentences the family seal told you who the
26:42letter was from it told the family who they were too or who they thought they were only a fool
26:50would
26:50give Cartier cufflinks to a man who regularly shopped the Brooks Brothers sale rack I doubt
26:55Ron Cooper even had a shirt that took cufflinks but it was his birthday and I wanted to give him
27:00something nice so I went with a pair of forty eight hundred dollar designer cufflinks that he
27:05apparently never took out of the box like all gifts this one said more about the giver than
27:11the recipient and I didn't love what it said about me
27:18so
27:46Oh, how dare you?
27:48I don't know why you have to take everything so personally.
27:51I take it personally because you're attacking my person.
27:54What is going on here?
27:55I don't know, but we can't get out.
27:57What happened there?
27:58Nothing, I'm fine.
27:59Hey, Mel, this is exactly like what we were talking about upstairs.
28:02You were talking about me?
28:03Of course not.
28:04What's all this then?
28:05Just tell her what you told me.
28:07You know what, this is a family matter.
28:08I just don't think I should get involved.
28:10No, you should not.
28:12Mom.
28:12What? She's not family anymore.
28:14Oh, okay.
28:14Wow.
28:15Okay, can we all just dial the temperature dial a little bit?
28:17I've been biting my tongue all goddamn day, and she just keeps poking at me.
28:21She pokes.
28:22It's a poke-a-poke-a-poke.
28:23It's like she wants me to go off so she can poke me about that.
28:26I don't know what you're talking about.
28:27My husband just died.
28:29Okay, okay.
28:29Allie, Allie, I think you need to tap out.
28:31Okay, why don't you just go to your room, take a deep breath, calm down.
28:35She's a grown woman.
28:36You can't send her to her room.
28:38I'm sorry, I thought you said you weren't getting involved.
28:40I say a lot of things.
28:41Hold on!
28:42What in the sweet fuck are you doing here?
28:45Your mom invited us.
28:46And you thought it would be a good idea to come?
28:50I assume she cleared it with you.
28:52No, she did not!
28:54I'm really sorry about Ron.
28:55He was a good man.
28:56Oh, thanks, Bruce.
28:57Now, why don't you just go fuck off?
28:59Hi, Joan.
29:00Allison!
29:01God, I cannot believe you would fucking invite him!
29:03It's ancient history.
29:05I just assumed we had all moved on.
29:06Bruce certainly has.
29:07Oh, if he had moved on, he wouldn't have fucked me last year, huh?
29:11Damn it, Allie.
29:12Wait, wait, this is that Bruce?
29:13Like, fuck Bruce Bruce?
29:15Allie, I thought he'd be way hotter.
29:17Hurry!
29:17Excuse her, she's high.
29:19What?
29:19You're getting high with the children now?
29:21We had a breakthrough.
29:22Oh, my God, really?
29:23Yeah.
29:24I think we should probably leave.
29:25Yes, I think so, too.
29:27Nonsense!
29:28You just got here.
29:29Are you fucking kidding me?
29:31Joan is my friend!
29:33Okay, new plan.
29:34New plan.
29:35Joan, please stay.
29:36Bruce, kindly fuck off.
29:38I'm alright.
29:38I swear to God, Bruce.
29:40Okay.
29:47Get my hair.
29:48Get my hair, Marty.
29:49Oh, shit.
29:51Oh, my God.
29:52I'm so, so sorry.
29:54Oh, my God.
29:54Yeah, I got to read about it.
29:55This breath was just...
29:59Oh, my God.
29:59I'm so sorry.
30:03I'm so sorry.
30:04I'm so sorry.
30:06Let me get some water.
30:08I would like a feeling.
30:12I would like a feeling.
30:15I would like a feeling.
30:18Gone.
30:32I get caught looking in the mirror on the regular.
30:37What I see there resembles some competitor.
30:44I see things behind things, behind things.
30:50And there are rings within rings, within rings.
30:55What I see there Trustee Never Leave.
31:00Oh, my God.
31:04Oh, my God.
31:09Oh, my God.
31:11Oh, my God.
31:23Oh, my God.
31:30What can I get you?
31:31Size 12, please.
31:32Got it.
31:37Okay.
32:11Hi.
32:11Sorry, you were at the cemetery.
32:14Elaine, naft.
32:15Hi.
32:16Andrew Cooper.
32:17I know.
32:18Do you want to sit down?
32:21Sure, yes.
32:22I'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 10 years.
32:39I thought the bowling team disbanded years ago.
32:42We didn't let that stop us.
32:46Oh.
32:49I see.
32:50So 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.
33:16Yeah.
33:19He talked about you a lot.
33:21You and your sister.
33:25That's funny.
33:25He never mentioned you at all.
33:28No, I don't suppose he would have.
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 made 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.
34:27Was anyone?
34:29I'd like to think he was.
34:30Yeah, I don't know.
34:31He took a lot of shit at home and at work.
34:35I think sometimes it felt like he'd just given up.
34:40Was that funny?
34:43You're exactly like he said.
34:46What do you mean?
34:47You're angry at the world.
34:50The world can be a shitty place.
34:53Maybe.
34:54Maybe there's something in you
34:56that expects too much out of it.
34:58So I should just settle for less.
35:01Like he did.
35:03You think he settled?
35:05I think he deserved more.
35:07I 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.
36:03Yeah.
36:06Yeah.
36:14Yeah.
39:45Hold me your thoughts, take me to your dreams, touch me as I fall into you.
39:56When the winter comes, keep the fire for me, then I will be right next to you.
40:05Hello.
40:07Hi, Meg.
40:07There's three of us.
40:08She's a size three.
40:10He's a nine.
40:11I'm a twelve.
40:14Keep me in your heart for a while.
40:19Keep me in your heart for a while.
40:25La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
40:31la.
40:32Keep me in your heart for a while.
40:35Bye.
40:39Bye.

41:07Bye.
