"You can't tell me how to live my life."
3
00:00:19,478 --> 00:00:22,606
She said I'm still her child
and as long as I live under her roof,
4
00:00:22,690 --> 00:00:25,067
I'll abide by her rules.
5
00:00:25,109 --> 00:00:27,945
I've heard those words all my life.
6
00:00:28,029 --> 00:00:30,364
I said, "Mother,
I pay half the bills around here.
7
00:00:30,448 --> 00:00:33,743
"I buy the groceries and the cable
and most of your clothing.
8

"I can't believe that doesn't entitle me
to an equal vote at the very least."
9
00:00:37,455 --> 00:00:40,332
She said I eat all the groceries
and watch all the TV.
10
00:00:40,416 --> 00:00:44,128
And that she hates the clothes I buy,
which is a total crock
11
00:00:44,211 --> 00:00:48,007
since I notice every time she goes out,
she's wearing something that I bought.
12
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,637
I said, "Mother, I'm not asking
for the Hope Diamond.

for one evening.

16
00:01:03,272 --> 00:01:05,316

17
00:01:05,399 --> 00:01:08,069
"Not under my roof. Not while I'm alive."
18

I thought it would never end.
40
00:03:02,433 --> 00:03:04,935
So by the time I got to the store,
I was 10 minutes late,
41
00:03:04,977 --> 00:03:06,270
which isn't that big of a deal

43
00:03:08,689 --> 00:03:11,775
I mean, seriously, if it's such a tragedy
that I'm 10 minutes late,
44
00:03:11,817 --> 00:03:13,277
why are you keeping me off the floor

he has me bagging for Consuela

how to do my effing job.

he'd talk about her
and say the most awful things.

"Edward, that can't possibly be true."

But now that I know her myself,
129
00:07:58,896 --> 00:08:01,982
I can see that he was telling
nothing but the truth.

Hey, no big deal, man.
188
00:13:22,552 --> 00:13:24,387
Just wanted to catch up.

00:13:31,228 --> 00:13:32,854

you actually hear these words,
196
00:13:56,461 --> 00:14:01,508
I just wanted to tell you
how much I miss our conversations.

207
00:14:31,288 --> 00:14:33,248
Edward, just give me a call.
208
00:14:33,290 --> 00:14:36,960

00:29:23,345 --> 00:29:25,473
She has been lately, anyway.
355
00:29:27,224 --> 00:29:29,185
Yeah, new carpeting.
356
00:29:30,478 --> 00:29:32,354
New paint.
357
00:29:32,938 --> 00:29:36,609
Definitely new draperies.
358
00:29:37,610 --> 00:29:39,570
I don't know how much that'll cost.
359
00:29:39,653 --> 00:29:41,363
Not that much, probably.
360
00:29:43,115 --> 00:29:44,742
Who cares anyway?
361
00:29:44,825 --> 00:29:46,827
We'll just put it on the MasterCard.

when we got that settlement money!
365
00:30:20,110 --> 00:30:22,488
Could have done
a little bit at a time, like I said.
366
00:30:22,571 --> 00:30:24,240
Or we could have hired somebody.
367
00:30:24,281 --> 00:30:28,077
Instead I'm faced with this
huge fucking job all by myself.

It's not like you ever entertain.
370

372
00:30:38,003 --> 00:30:40,589
So, I'm stuck doing
everything myself, as usual!
373
00:30:40,631 --> 00:30:45,427
Edward will come to this filthy,
miserable hovel
374
00:30:45,469 --> 00:30:47,388
and I'll just be humiliated.

Mrs. Carothers,
386
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:26,135
you know Mother would
never let me call you Charlene.
387
00:31:26,176 --> 00:31:28,095
That would be disrespectful.
388
00:31:29,638 --> 00:31:32,474
No, I'm sorry, she's... She's not here.
389
00:31:32,558 --> 00:31:36,353
She's, um...
She's playing bridge this afternoon

Why, where else would she be?
393
00:31:44,153 --> 00:31:45,988
No, no, that was last year.
394
00:31:46,071 --> 00:31:48,991
They... They changed the schedule this year.
395
00:31:49,033 --> 00:31:50,826
Anyway, how are you?
396
00:31:52,036 --> 00:31:53,203
Uh-huh.
397
00:31:53,287 --> 00:31:55,497
Yeah, how's the weather in Mobile?
398
00:31:57,499 --> 00:32:00,586
Oh, I'm fine, Mrs. Carothers,
thank you for asking.
399
00:32:00,669 --> 00:32:02,004
We're just...
400
00:32:02,713 --> 00:32:05,633
We're just doing
a little remodeling around here,
401
00:32:05,674 --> 00:32:08,177
which is quite a bit of work, as you well know.
402
00:32:09,011 --> 00:32:11,221
So much to be done.
403
00:32:11,805 --> 00:32:14,558
Out with the old, though,
isn't that what they say?
404
00:32:14,808 --> 00:32:16,560
Yeah, I'll tell her you called.
405
00:32:16,644 --> 00:32:18,187
I'll give her that message.
406
00:32:18,270 --> 00:32:20,981
Hey, you know what?
You should write her one of your letters.
407
00:32:21,023 --> 00:32:23,651
You know how much she loves
to get your letters.
408
00:32:27,905 --> 00:32:30,574
My first thought was to replace the carpeting,
409
00:32:30,658 --> 00:32:32,743
but I think I'll just leave that be.
410
00:32:32,826 --> 00:32:36,163
I'm gonna paint Mother's room
and this, the dining room,
411
00:32:36,205 --> 00:32:40,209
but there is still just so much to be done.
412
00:32:41,710 --> 00:32:43,629
But I have to be realistic.
413
00:32:43,712 --> 00:32:45,506
Edward's gonna be here in a few days
414
00:32:45,547 --> 00:32:48,217
and I just can't have the house
be in a state of utter chaos.
415
00:32:48,258 --> 00:32:49,718
I just... I just can't.
416
00:32:49,802 --> 00:32:52,179
I have to be done by Thursday
at the very latest
417
00:32:52,221 --> 00:32:54,556
so I can begin preparations for our meal.
418
00:32:55,057 --> 00:32:59,061
(SIGHS) I think I've settled on the trout recipe,
419
00:32:59,144 --> 00:33:02,564
but I still haven't decided yet
on the other courses.
420
00:33:02,606 --> 00:33:05,567
And believe it or not, I haven't even thought
421
00:33:06,485 --> 00:33:08,612
about dessert!
422
00:33:08,696 --> 00:33:10,489
I know! It's just ridiculous!
423
00:33:10,572 --> 00:33:12,908
Anyway, the Good Lord will take my hand.

00:33:12,992 --> 00:33:14,076
He always does.

your comments are very welcome.

427
00:33:25,087 --> 00:33:27,423
and I'll call you Eve. (CHUCKLES)

Tropical fish,
429
00:33:31,218 --> 00:33:34,263
they've been Edward's favorite
since he was a little boy.
430
00:33:34,346 --> 00:33:36,265
They were his abiding passion.
431
00:33:36,515 --> 00:33:38,434
But he doesn't have any of his own
432
00:33:38,517 --> 00:33:43,188
because Gloria says they're
too expensive for a young family.
433

I don't care about that at all.

I want this to be Edward's sanctuary.
437
00:33:55,117 --> 00:33:56,702
Aren't they beautiful?
438
00:33:58,454 --> 00:34:00,706
The pretty one is Eve
439
00:34:01,290 --> 00:34:03,917
and the other one is Adam.
440
00:34:06,045 --> 00:34:08,130

and learned to live together
forever underwater.
446

No one can stand between them now
or tear them apart.
447
00:34:27,691 --> 00:34:30,235
They'll be happy for the rest of their lives.

Where the hell have you put it?
452
00:34:57,679 --> 00:34:59,181
This is fucking ridiculous!
453
00:35:02,059 --> 00:35:05,104
Edward and I both enjoy
a nice espresso after dinner.
454
00:35:05,187 --> 00:35:07,773
We have a beautiful machine here for that,
455
00:35:07,856 --> 00:35:10,150
but Mother, in one of her spiteful moods,
456
00:35:10,192 --> 00:35:12,069
has hidden it somewhere.
457
00:35:12,152 --> 00:35:17,324
She is a bitter, spiteful old woman!
458
00:35:30,754 --> 00:35:31,880
Hello?
459
00:35:33,257 --> 00:35:36,718
Yeah, I would like to buy
your espresso machine.

00:35:36,802 --> 00:35:41,140
B25-8261 .
461
00:35:43,058 --> 00:35:46,436
Yes, but before I order,
I just need to know something for certain.
462
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:48,355
If I order it today,
463
00:35:48,397 --> 00:35:50,691
will it be here by Friday?
464
00:35:52,442 --> 00:35:54,194
I don't care about how much that costs.
465
00:35:54,236 --> 00:35:55,988
That doesn't matter to me.
466
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:58,407
Okay, great!
467
00:35:58,490 --> 00:36:00,617
Yes, that will be perfect!
468
00:36:00,701 --> 00:36:02,661
Let me give you my credit card number.
469
00:36:04,663 --> 00:36:07,082
It's a perfectly good number.
470
00:36:07,124 --> 00:36:08,625
Just try it again.
471
00:36:13,088 --> 00:36:14,339
Okay, fine, whatever!
472
00:36:14,423 --> 00:36:16,008
Just... Thanks for nothing.
473
00:36:20,262 --> 00:36:22,347
It's a fucking conspiracy.
474
00:36:23,432 --> 00:36:27,728
Yes, yeah, yeah, I did...
I did make those purchases,
475
00:36:27,769 --> 00:36:30,480
but can't you just increase my limit?
476
00:36:33,150 --> 00:36:35,694
No, this is... This is an emergency.
477
00:36:35,777 --> 00:36:37,905
I mean, don't you care about your customers?
478
00:36:37,946 --> 00:36:39,781
I mean, what am I supposed to do?
479
00:36:43,076 --> 00:36:46,205
No, no, I have company coming on Friday.
480
00:36:46,288 --> 00:36:48,165
Don't you understand?
481
00:36:49,541 --> 00:36:51,501
Are you retarded?
482
00:36:51,585 --> 00:36:54,630
No, I can't possibly wait until next month.
483
00:36:54,671 --> 00:36:57,049
Do you wanna ruin everything?
484
00:36:58,050 --> 00:36:59,134
Fine!
485
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:02,512
This isn't over yet.
I know all your hiding places.
486
00:37:24,743 --> 00:37:28,163
It occurs to me that I haven't told you
much about Edward.
487
00:37:30,123 --> 00:37:31,500
Here's a picture.
488
00:37:34,002 --> 00:37:37,631
We've known each other almost 18 years.
489
00:37:37,673 --> 00:37:39,466
Since basic training.
490
00:37:39,841 --> 00:37:41,343
Before that, really.
491
00:37:41,385 --> 00:37:44,846
Our recruiter sent us
a ride to the train station.
492
00:37:44,930 --> 00:37:46,515
We rode down together.
493
00:37:46,598 --> 00:37:48,558
We hit it off right away.
494
00:37:48,642 --> 00:37:50,811
The army wasn't easy, I'll tell you that.
495
00:37:50,852 --> 00:37:53,605
They don't want you there,
there's a thousand things they can do to you.
496
00:37:54,773 --> 00:37:57,693
Finally, it just... It just got too much, though,
497
00:37:57,734 --> 00:37:59,778
and I came on home.
498
00:37:59,861 --> 00:38:01,571
Edward re-enlisted.
499
00:38:02,114 --> 00:38:03,407
We drifted apart.
500
00:38:03,490 --> 00:38:05,575
anyway,
501
00:38:06,118 --> 00:38:09,454
finally, we ran into each other again
a couple years ago.
502
00:38:09,705 --> 00:38:12,874
And, it was... (CHUCKLES)
It was a funny occasion, actually,
503
00:38:12,916 --> 00:38:15,252
because it was Valentine's Day.
504
00:38:16,253 --> 00:38:20,048
I was at the library
returning some books for Mother,
505
00:38:20,132 --> 00:38:23,260
and he was there for story time with his kids.
506
00:38:23,385 --> 00:38:27,556
We talked and talked,
and it was like we'd never been apart.
507
00:38:28,849 --> 00:38:31,852
He works downtown,
so sometimes I'd take the train down
508
00:38:31,893 --> 00:38:34,187
and we'd just hang out together in the city.
509
00:38:35,188 --> 00:38:37,190
Those were wonderful times.
510
00:38:37,774 --> 00:38:41,445
Of course, I couldn't bring him back here
511
00:38:41,528 --> 00:38:44,156
and he couldn't bring me to his house either,
512
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:48,201
so we had to skulk around like bandits.
513
00:38:49,870 --> 00:38:51,913
Anyway, he's a wonderful man.
514
00:38:53,123 --> 00:38:55,000
My best friend, for sure.
515
00:38:55,334 --> 00:38:58,587
We kind of had a... We had
a little misunderstanding a while back,
516
00:38:58,628 --> 00:39:02,382
and that's why... That's why I need...
That's why I need to get him back here.
517
00:39:02,424 --> 00:39:04,968
You know,
so we can just get that all behind us.
518
00:39:07,346 --> 00:39:09,598
There is nothing I wouldn't do for that man.
519
00:39:10,849 --> 00:39:12,100
(SIGHS)
520
00:39:12,225 --> 00:39:14,644
And I know he feels the same way, too.
521
00:39:23,695 --> 00:39:26,448
I don't know what you want from me,
Vicki, I really don't.
522
00:39:26,531 --> 00:39:29,493
I have given her your messages repeatedly.
523
00:39:29,576 --> 00:39:31,912
Maybe she's angry with you.
524
00:39:31,953 --> 00:39:33,789
I mean, you two have
an argument or something?
525
00:39:33,872 --> 00:39:35,499
Well, what have you said to her recently?
526
00:39:35,582 --> 00:39:37,334
Anything that could be misinterpreted?
527
00:39:37,417 --> 00:39:39,294
It could be any little thing.
528
00:39:39,336 --> 00:39:41,046

Robert Beasley from church.

890
01:08:35,987 --> 01:08:38,240
My mother sent me over.
She's worried about Lillian.
891
01:08:38,323 --> 01:08:39,616
I said I'd check in on her.
892
01:08:39,699 --> 01:08:41,326
She's not here.
893
01:08:41,368 --> 01:08:42,786
Can I come in for a minute?

No. Can you just go away?

- I know that's not true, Peter. Lillian!

(CAMERA BEEPS)
909
01:10:59,673 --> 01:11:04,594
My brother Bobby
died in a car accident in 1981.
910
01:11:05,762 --> 01:11:07,597
I was six years old.
911
01:11:08,181 --> 01:11:09,474
On the day of the funeral,
912
01:11:09,516 --> 01:11:15,272
one of my dress shoes went missing
and Mother was in a terrible uproar.
913
01:11:15,355 --> 01:11:19,484
Vicki eventually found it
under the porch stairs outside.
914
01:11:20,860 --> 01:11:24,489
Mother says I hid it there on purpose.
915
01:11:25,365 --> 01:11:27,409
And I suppose I probably did.
916
01:11:28,243 --> 01:11:31,454
I thought if we didn't get to the funeral,
917
01:11:31,538 --> 01:11:33,707
he wouldn't really be dead.
918
01:11:36,918 --> 01:11:39,379
Bobby was a very special boy,
919
01:11:39,462 --> 01:11:42,841
and Mother did the best she could
under the circumstances.
920
01:11:43,133 --> 01:11:46,136
I never... I never hated her
for what she'd say to me.
921
01:11:46,219 --> 01:11:48,013
I just wanted her to be happy.
922
01:11:49,597 --> 01:11:51,349
So, I joined the army
923
01:11:51,391 --> 01:11:54,060
and I looked so handsome in my uniform.
924
01:11:54,144 --> 01:11:55,729
Everybody said so.
925
01:11:57,063 --> 01:11:59,482
And then I met Edward
926
01:11:59,566 --> 01:12:03,737
and I thought, "She'll love this boy.
927
01:12:04,070 --> 01:12:05,238
"I mean, she will.
928
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:07,657
"They'll be the best of friends."
929
01:12:07,741 --> 01:12:10,076

I think you should...
I think you should call the police
939

if that's how you feel.
940
01:13:08,426 --> 01:13:12,680
Can I... Can I tell you something
before we hang up?
941
01:13:17,227 --> 01:13:21,773
I wanted to tell you how much
Mother loved you.
942
01:13:23,650 --> 01:13:25,985
I'm sure I've said things to the contrary
943
01:13:26,069 --> 01:13:30,532
in the last couple of weeks,
but they're untrue.

a little better for a while, I suppose.
