00:02:31 Dead means they're broken?
00:02:35 Well, their bodies
00:02:39 And they're under the ground?
00:02:43 Tell me what dead is.
00:02:46 Mmm. When you...
00:02:50 When you look at the photographs
00:02:54 do you remember the stories
00:02:56 Yes.
00:02:59 Tom and Timmy are alive
00:03:04 It makes me sad
00:03:07 Makes me sad too, Ruthie.
00:03:10 But Mommy's sadder.
00:03:14 Well, yes.
00:03:48 Uh-huh.
00:03:52 Does your son have a driver's license?
00:03:55 Jesus.
00:03:57 Heh!
00:04:00 Yeah?
00:04:05 Yeah.
00:04:07 All right.
00:04:24 Eh, it still gets cold
00:04:27 Thanks.
00:04:30 Jesus. Look at this yard.
00:04:36 We should clear out some of these
00:04:43 I want to put in a swimming pool.
00:04:45 Why?
00:04:47 Oh, for Ruth when she gets older.
00:04:51 Something like the one we had
00:04:55 And the lawn...
00:05:02 No.
00:05:04 Look at this picture.
00:05:09 That's Minty O'Hare's son... the
00:05:14 He wants a summer job.
00:05:16 He wants to be a writer.
00:05:18 What would he do for you?
00:05:20 It's mainly for the experience,
00:05:23 I mean, if he's thinking about becoming a writer,
00:05:30 What would he actually do for you?
00:05:33 Mmm, well...
00:05:42 I've been thinking.
00:05:46 I want to try separating...
00:05:54 Just temporarily.
00:06:28 So you began your career writing novels?
00:06:30 Yes, but they were terrible novels. Uh,
00:06:36 before I realized
00:06:40 I am simply a entertainer of children,
00:06:44 Edward, don't be nervous
00:06:47 He's an Exonion.
00:06:50 His sons were charming boys...
00:06:52 but... mediocre students.
00:06:56 Why do cautionary tales for children come so
00:06:59 Well, I think I can imagine
00:07:02 Um, in my stories,
00:07:05 uh, you can see what's coming, but you don't see
00:07:09 Note his work habits.
00:07:12 See if there's a method
00:07:14 And... above all...
00:07:17 throw yourself in headlong and just
00:07:22 In my opinion, there is no better opening to any story
00:07:25 I mean, the first lines...
00:07:30 Daddy, I had a dream.
00:07:33 I heard a sound.
00:07:36 Uh, what sort of sound, Ruth?
00:07:38 It's in the house,
00:07:48 Hmm.
00:07:51 Well, let's go look for it then.
00:07:54 It's a sound that's trying to be quiet?
00:07:58 It was a sound like someone
00:08:15 Your penis looks funny.
00:08:19 My penis is funny.
00:08:23 Come out sound.
00:08:27 I'll tell you a story
00:08:31 One night when Thomas
00:08:34 and Timothy was still in diapers,
00:08:37 Tommy heard a sound.
00:08:42 Oh, Tom woke up,
00:08:44 but Tim did not.
00:08:48 And Tom woke up his father...
00:08:51 and asked him,
00:08:56 There's the sound again,"
00:09:00 "It's a monster!" he cried.
00:09:03 "It's just a mouse...
00:09:06 crawling between the walls,"
00:09:09 his father said,
00:09:11 and thumped the wall hard
00:09:14 And the mouse...
00:09:17 Scurried away.
00:09:20 "It's just a mouse.
00:09:23 That's all," Tom said.
00:09:25 And he quickly fell asleep.
00:09:28 But Tim,
00:09:31 he stayed awake all night long.
00:09:34 And every time that thing crawling
00:09:39 he'd hit the wall,
00:09:41 and he'd listen to the monster...
00:09:44 scurry away,
00:09:46 dragging his thick, wet fur,
00:09:49 and no arms and no legs with it.
00:09:55 - And that...
00:10:01 Where's Mommy?
00:10:05 Mommy, uh... It's her turn
00:10:07 It's my turn tomorrow night.
00:10:11 - Okay.
00:10:17 Hmm. Everyone has mice.
00:10:21 Mice are everywhere.
00:10:25 See you in the morning, Ruthie.
00:11:36 Eddie? Eddie?
00:11:43 Mrs. Cole?
00:11:48 Come.
00:11:52 You can drive, can't you?
00:11:56 I know boys your age. They love
00:12:00 Yes, ma'am. But I don't
00:12:04 It's an automatic.
00:12:07 Yes, ma'am.
00:12:10 Sorry about before. I was...
00:12:12 I was expecting Mr. Cole.
00:12:15 Ted lost his license
00:12:18 You're not at Exeter anymore.
00:12:23 Okay.
00:13:09 Aren't you coming in?
00:13:11 Not tonight.
00:13:31 Did it hurt?
00:13:34 No, I'm all right. I'm all right.
00:13:37 It is an honor to meet you, sir.
00:13:39 I want to thank you in advance for this
00:13:44 Ed, this is Doctor Loomis.
00:13:47 Hi.
00:13:50 I was class of'61.
00:13:52 So, Tuesday, yeah? Right.
00:13:55 Nice to meet you, Eddie. Ciao.
00:13:58 I've read all your novels and
00:14:00 Yeah, 3:30.
00:14:04 I've... I read all your novels
00:14:07 and my favorite is The
00:14:09 Well, you're probably one of the few
00:14:15 So, uh, what makes you think
00:14:18 Oh, I wrote something,
00:14:21 I'd be extremely honored if you might read
00:14:25 Well, writing is rigorous work.
00:14:30 Yeah. Many of my books contain
00:14:35 every word must be examined and
00:14:39 You're going to be spending the whole summer
00:14:43 - The right word. The true word.
00:14:45 I'm prepared to throw myself in headlong
00:14:48 Yeah, because I'm sure there'll be
00:14:52 Oh, all right.
00:14:55 I'm, uh, using squid ink for my new book,
00:14:59 and for all my drawings now.
00:15:02 There's a, uh...
00:15:04 a woman in Montauk,
00:15:07 She collects the squid ink for me.
00:15:10 Ah, you can go tomorrow. You see her
00:15:15 Also, I have to tell you...
00:15:20 you've arrived here during what is
00:15:25 Uh, Marion and I, we're separating...
00:15:29 temporarily, on a trial basis.
00:15:32 And I've, uh...
00:15:35 and every other night one of us
00:15:38 Uh, during the day, you'll work there
00:15:43 but you'll sleep here.
00:15:47 I know it seems
00:15:50 it's hard to know what's...
00:15:54 Anyway, your bedroom is in the main
00:16:00 Uh, you want to take your stuff up
00:16:03 Unpack.
00:16:06 Okay, well,
00:16:08 make yourself comfortable, Eddie.
00:16:11 Thank you, sir.
00:16:13 And... I'm sorry about your marriage.
00:16:16 Me too, Eddie.
00:16:19 Anyway,
00:16:22 I'm sure you're gonna do great here.
00:16:25 It's gonna be a good summer for ya.
00:17:00 **
00:17:20 Did you see the shrine?
00:17:22 Mm-hmm.
00:17:25 It's sad.
00:17:28 You go to Exeter, right?
00:17:30 An "upper"?
00:17:34 like, kind of like a junior. Your
00:17:37 So you get to go for free?
00:17:40 He was their teacher, right?
00:17:42 I guess.
00:17:47 - Did you know them before they died?
00:17:50 When I was in eighth grade
00:17:55 Really? Yeah. He was
00:17:59 His name was, like,
00:18:04 It was probably a nickname.
00:18:12 You know, it... it's quite common
00:18:18 It is.
00:18:43 Oh, great, you got it.
00:18:45 Just in time.
00:18:47 Uh, here, wait.
00:18:53 Here. I want you to, uh,
00:18:56 put it in here
00:18:59 What should I do next?
00:19:01 I'm sketching a model.
00:19:05 L... I could straighten up
00:19:08 No, no. Go ahead.
00:19:10 Anything really. I just want
00:19:14 Contemplating the waves...
00:19:17 will be a hell of a lot more useful to you
00:19:22 Okay.
00:19:25 plenty more rigorous work to do...
00:19:29 at some point in the near future.
00:19:33 Don't spill that stuff.
00:19:51 Take your dress off, please.
00:20:09 And your bra.
00:21:04 Morning, Eddie.
00:21:06 Morning, ma'am.
00:22:40 Bright, yeah.! Colors.!
00:23:37 Hi.
00:23:39 Did you just see that movie?
00:23:41 Me too.
00:23:45 - Is that your dinner?
00:23:47 I... got kind of tired of burgers.
00:23:52 Ted doesn't get you anything?
00:23:55 I mean, he would.
00:23:59 I don't think your parents would like it if
00:24:03 They wouldn't mind,
00:24:10 Eddie, would you like
00:24:13 I'll make sure you get
00:24:17 Okay.
00:24:19 Yeah.
00:24:22 Thanks. Good night.
00:24:24 See you.
00:25:08 Eddie?
00:25:10 Just one second.!
00:25:13 Ruth wanted to be sure that one
00:25:16 She gets anxious if she can't see them
00:25:22 Which one was it, sweetie?
00:25:25 Ahh.
00:25:27 He's just a little broken,
00:25:30 Not yet.
00:25:32 - Where's feet?
00:25:36 Where are the feet?
00:25:39 Sorry, Eddie.
00:25:42 We've gotten in the habit of showing Ruth these
00:25:45 That's okay.
00:25:47 Ahh, see?
00:25:50 What did he do?
00:26:49 That's Mrs. Vaughn.
00:26:51 Came over to discuss some sketches.
00:26:55 Uh, guess she's an early riser.
00:27:00 Do you want me to drive
00:27:02 I'm gonna... I'm gonna walk.
00:27:05 Um, after I finish, what should
00:28:32 Eddie, I should have knocked.
00:28:39 It's my fault.
00:28:43 I'm just... I'm just embarrassed.
00:28:50 Eddie?
00:29:02 Come here, please.
00:29:13 It's funny.
00:29:19 Eddie?
00:29:21 Look at me.
00:29:25 Sit.
00:29:39 I know boys your age.
00:29:41 I know it's what boys your age do,
00:29:45 Look, Eddie, I am flattered.
00:29:49 It felt good to know that someone
00:29:54 Oh, not to assume that you
00:29:59 Maybe about my clothes. And I know you
00:30:03 - I didn't...
00:30:08 It was a pink sweater,
00:30:12 Oh!
00:30:15 That sweater, it's so old.
00:30:19 Because of how it must feel
00:30:25 Oh.
00:30:32 Would you do me a favor?
00:30:37 Take this down with you.
00:30:40 Please?
00:30:44 Thank you.
00:31:04 I'll probably be about an hour.
00:31:14 - Hey, do you want your supplies?
00:31:58 Hi.
00:32:00 You look nice.
00:32:03 The tie or the jacket.
00:32:07 Okay.
00:32:13 How's the work going for you?
00:32:16 I just retype A Sound Like Someone
00:32:19 Sometimes he changes
00:32:22 and then the next morning
00:32:28 He needs a computer.
00:32:32 That's why he hired you,
00:32:40 I don't get to drive
00:32:48 Eddie, you're so serious.
00:32:51 Boys your age
00:32:55 I know a joke,
00:32:59 Tell me.
00:33:01 There's this battleship out in the ocean,
00:33:05 this captain learns that the mother of
00:33:10 And the sailor's name
00:33:13 So the captain thinks and thinks, and he tries to come up
00:33:18 And finally after staying up all night,
00:33:24 So the next morning he calls
00:33:29 "Gentlemen, all of you whose mothers
00:33:34 Not so fast, Abernathy. "
00:33:40 L- I like that joke, Eddie. L...
00:33:43 I do. I do.
00:33:54 Why don't you ask Alice
00:33:59 She's not my type.
00:34:02 Well, she's a good nanny anyway.
00:34:18 I think it was wrong of us
00:34:24 When we first moved here,
00:34:27 a new place,
00:34:30 a new child,
00:34:32 a new life, I suppose.
00:34:37 Ted's a good father.
00:34:41 But he doesn't really know how
00:34:47 And I can't.
00:34:50 I can't with her.
00:35:02 I picked that one
00:35:05 and you can almost imagine
00:35:12 Timothy looks guilty.
00:35:15 Thomas looks like a wild animal.
00:35:26 This one's funny.
00:35:29 Tommy looks so...
00:35:33 scared.
00:36:21 I hope I'm not disturbing you.
00:36:27 You can tell in this picture...
00:36:31 Timothy is more introspective,
00:36:33 like you.
00:36:43 And you know where this is?
00:36:46 What does it say?
00:36:50 "Come hither, boys, and become men. '"
00:36:57 Not pink with lilac.
00:37:01 Oh.
00:37:03 I wasn't thinking about the colors.
00:37:08 I don't know if they had sex.
00:37:11 Thomas, maybe. He was so popular.
00:37:14 But, Timothy, he was so shy.
00:37:21 That's all boys want, isn't it?
00:37:24 Yes.
00:37:27 Before I die.
00:37:39 Have you had sex, Eddie?
00:37:48 No.
00:37:55 Well, it's too hot in here,
00:37:59 so I hope you'll forgive me
00:38:55 You still really haven't had sex,
00:38:59 Not really.
00:39:03 No, not really.
00:39:09 But I feel...
00:39:12 I feel complete.
00:39:21 Come here.
00:39:50 "There was a little boy
00:39:55 "His mommy didn't know if
00:39:58 "They lived in a cabin in the woods
00:40:03 "and there was no one else around.
00:40:06 "And in the cabin
00:40:12 "The little boy was afraid of what
00:40:16 "and the mommy was afraid too.
00:40:19 "Once, long ago, other children had come
00:40:25 "but the children had opened
00:40:28 "and had disappeared down the hole.
00:40:32 "The mommy had tried
00:40:35 "but when she opened the door in the
00:40:40 "that her hair turned
00:40:43 "like the hair of a ghost.
00:40:46 "And the mommy had
00:40:51 "things so horrible
00:40:56 "And so the mommy wondered...
00:40:59 "if she wanted to have a little boy,
00:41:02 "especially because of everything
00:41:06 "And then she thought,"Why not?
00:41:11 "I'll just tell him not to open
00:41:16 "Yet the little boy...
00:41:18 "still didn't know
00:41:21 "into a world where there was
00:41:25 "But there were some beautiful things
00:41:29 "on the island and in the lake.
00:41:32 "Why not take a chance? 'he thought.
00:41:36 "And so the little boy was born
00:41:42 "and his mommy was happy again too.
00:41:47 "Although she told the boy...
00:41:49 "at least once every day,
00:41:52 "Don't ever, not ever,
00:41:56 "never, never, never...
00:41:58 "open the door in the floor. '
00:42:05 "But, of course, he was only a little boy.
00:42:09 "If you were that little boy,
00:42:12 wouldn't you want to open
00:42:25 The publisher thinks the drawings are too
00:42:29 But, um, I'm just
00:42:32 and I like to draw.
00:42:38 Nudes, uh... Nudes are a requisite
00:42:42 like... like landscapes.
00:42:45 No. Long Island's too flat.
00:42:48 You don't prefer to use
00:42:52 If nakedness... I mean, the feeling of
00:42:56 well, there's no nakedness that compares to what it feels
00:43:01 Hmm? Right, Eddie?
00:43:04 Yes. Yeah. No.
00:43:14 I'm grateful to you, Eddie. Oh, it's
00:43:18 No, I mean, uh,
00:43:21 I'm grateful to you for being
00:43:27 She's been so unhappy.
00:43:30 It's good to see her smiling again.
00:44:46 Hello, Cole residence.
00:44:51 No, he's not here yet.
00:44:57 Unsteady?
00:45:13 Excuse me, Mr. Cole.
00:45:16 Um, Patrick called
00:45:22 - He said you might want a ride home.
00:45:29 Go on home, Eddie.
00:45:32 Sorry, Mr. Cole. Good night.
00:46:45 Ready, Eddie?
00:46:47 Ahh.
00:46:51 I, uh, converted this barn into a squash
00:46:56 Not quite regulation
00:46:59 Plus, uh, there's a dead spot
00:47:03 So, basically, I'm considered
00:47:07 to be unbeatable on my own court.
00:47:10 You play much?
00:47:14 Ahh, well, don't expect
00:47:18 I'm gonna grind you
00:47:21 Huh!
00:47:36 Where those red lines intersect,
00:47:39 Whoever controls the "T"
00:47:43 You need to win control of the "T"
00:47:48 7- love.
00:48:04 Aah! Jesus!
00:48:06 Yeah, I'm fine.
00:48:09 Yeah, it was a good shot though.
00:48:12 Isn't that a let? Aren't you supposed
00:48:15 Well, technically you're right,
00:48:18 Can't just take the "T."
00:48:28 Aah!
00:48:34 You look like a boy
00:48:38 Maybe you need to catch up
00:49:11 Stop screaming, honey.
00:49:16 G- Go back to bed, okay?
00:49:19 - Okay?
00:49:27 Did you get the stamps?
00:49:34 They still have the ones with
00:49:40 Anyway, I, uh...
00:49:44 I presume it was Marion's mistake,
00:49:46 but surely it was a mistake for the
00:49:54 I'm not threatening you,
00:49:58 that, uh, you may be called
00:50:02 In the event of a custody dispute,
00:50:11 I would never have let a child see me
00:50:15 has really made no effort
00:50:18 from seeing what she saw.
00:50:21 And if you are asked to testify
00:50:26 I trust that you won't lie...
00:50:36 From the sound of it,
00:50:40 not that I have a personal problem
00:50:44 But for a child,
00:50:48 I imagine doing it doggishly...
00:50:50 must seem especially animalistic.
00:51:10 I'll only be about 25 minutes today.
00:51:15 Just a quick sketch.
00:51:24 I've never been unfaithful to Ted.
00:51:35 Why didn't you leave him?
00:51:39 Ted understands me.
00:51:45 Ted's the only one that really
00:51:54 You don't need some time?
00:52:03 Aah! What are you doing?
00:52:07 Okay. Ready?
00:52:11 He starts with conventional portraits...
00:52:14 a mother, a child.
00:52:17 Then the mother,
00:52:21 Then the nudes go through phases,
00:52:25 like innocence, modesty,
00:52:28 degradation...
00:52:31 and shame.
00:52:33 Mrs. Vaughn?
00:52:36 Mrs. Vaughn is experiencing the...
00:52:39 degrading phase right now.
00:52:44 Move your head to the light.
00:52:51 To the...
00:52:56 Evelyn.
00:53:54 I want to know more about you.
00:53:57 You know too much already.
00:54:09 Tell me about the accident.
00:54:13 I mean, do you know
00:54:17 or was it anybody's fault?
00:54:29 Marion?
00:54:41 M- Marion?
00:54:51 Mommy.
00:55:36 It was early in the morning,
00:55:41 Thomas and Timothy crawled under the
00:00:04 Well, maybe it never happened.
00:00:07 You know, maybe it was just a dream. No.
00:00:11 I guess it's just a mystery.
00:00:16 Don't you want to go back to bed?
00:00:19 Bring the picture.
00:00:23 That's true.
00:00:44 Mommy.! Mommy.!

00:01:14 You're not going to die.
00:01:19 You don't understand. I put the
00:01:23 That's not the point. The point is, you shouldn't
00:01:28 That's her mother's job.
00:01:31 I doubt it. I doubt "asleep" would
00:01:35 I did it to her. I asked her
00:01:39 Ah, it doesn't matter.
00:01:41 She was a great mother to the boys,
00:01:45 It's my fault.
00:01:51 Ruthie, please.
00:01:53 - Come on now. Go to sleep now. Please.
00:01:56 I'm here, sweetie. Come on. Mommy!

00:02:00 Mommy!
00:02:02 Mommy! Mommy! Come on.
00:02:13 She had a bad dream.
00:02:18 What kind of banging noise?
00:02:22 What difference does it make?
00:02:29 Come on, honey.
00:02:31 It's okay.
00:02:34 It's okay. Shh. Shh.

00:06:45 Just the drawings...
00:06:48 Isn't she expecting you?
00:06:50 Tell her I'm not coming,
00:06:53 but I wanted her to have the drawings.
00:06:59 It... It might be, um, awkward...
00:07:03 to ask for the portfolio back.
00:07:05 It won't be a problem.
00:07:13 L
00:07:18 He said he wanted you
00:07:21 Oh.
00:07:23 Uh, but when is he coming?
00:07:27 I have the whole day for him on Friday.
00:07:31 Will you stop?
00:07:34 L- I don't know.
00:07:36 - Uh...
00:07:44 My God, I'm locked out.
00:07:46 You're gonna have to break in.
00:07:55 You're gonna have to carry me
00:07:59 How dare you? How
00:08:04 You're not exactly living an "un-sordid" life
00:08:08 Oh, go!
00:08:13 - Why did she think you looked at the drawings? Did you?
00:08:17 Oh, Christ. Of course you did. No.
00:08:22 Jesus. She did what? She didn't mean to, but she
00:08:27 - Jesus Christ.!
00:08:31 She said you liked all the doors to be locked,
00:08:35 She told you that?
00:08:37 She said she had the whole day
00:08:40 I can't spend the whole day
00:08:43 You're gonna have to come and pick me up
00:08:50 On Friday morning,
00:08:53 I know... for half an hour.
00:08:56 No. You're never going back,
00:09:00 and it'll take him all day
00:09:05 Mrs. Vaughn won't offer him a ride.
00:09:09 I don't expect him back before dark.
00:09:11 Ted's gonna be really pissed off.
00:09:18 I read your, um... your story.
00:09:21 Oh. I thought you forgot. No. I just
00:09:27 It's not very good, is it?
00:09:31 very... very personal.
00:09:33 It's, um...
00:09:36 Well, it's just a collection of personal
00:09:41 It's, uh... I was just tryin' to see if
00:09:44 Oh, it seems true. It, uh,
00:09:48 Sort of a...
00:09:53 it isn't really a story.
00:09:56 And that, uh... the guy, Hank... you
00:10:01 You need to prepare a reader
00:10:05 It just... It didn't seem like
00:10:10 you need to let your audience
00:10:15 you know, anticipate what's gonna
00:10:19 But, um, you have to guide them
00:10:22 There's a part of writing that, uh,
00:10:26 involves a certain manipulation.
00:10:30 That may seem cold to you, but it is, you know, sort of cold. L
00:10:35 Everything in fiction is a tool:
00:10:42 even death.
00:10:44 These are, you know...
00:10:47 These are like, uh, different colors on
00:10:58 Also, the details...
00:11:03 Specific details, they...
00:11:11 Not being specific, that's just sloppy.
00:11:15 S- Specific details?
00:11:18 smells, taste... details.
00:11:24 But I'll tell ya, for a, uh...
00:11:27 for a first effort, it's not that bad.
00:11:30 You know, the, uh...
00:11:32 The prose is a little purple, a little
00:11:37 You're welcome.
00:11:43 You ever think about
00:11:47 Be easier to do your own revisions that
00:11:59 Maybe the next book.
00:12:11 Oh, boy.
00:12:17 I'm not gonna last
00:12:20 Twenty minutes tops,
00:12:37 Five.
00:12:55 Lfhe hits you, hit him back.
00:12:59 At worst, he'll slap you.
00:13:02 You should make a fist,
00:13:05 If you punch him in the nose,
00:13:11 You can call Alice to help
00:13:14 You better start to like her a little.
00:13:17 When Ted kicks you out, you're going to
00:13:22 And who's gonna
00:13:28 I won't be a bad mother to her.
00:13:31 I'd rather be no mother
00:13:34 That doesn't
00:13:41 I don't want her
00:13:44 Remember, honey, don't cry
00:13:48 I promise you, it won't hurt.
00:13:51 Can I keep the stitches
00:14:03 You can take her anywhere for lunch. All she
00:14:09 And ketchup.
00:14:13 I have money.
00:14:27 I love you.
00:14:29 So long, Eddie.
00:14:48 Evelyn. Evelyn, wait! Wait now!
00:14:51 Come here, goddamn it!
00:14:53 Evelyn, Evelyn, Evelyn.
00:14:55 Evelyn!
00:15:18 Why the hell did he...
00:15:35 Oh-oh.
00:15:39 Run!
00:16:46 All right.
00:16:51 Did we get the picture?
00:16:54 Feet. Oh, the photograph.
00:16:58 That's not very nice. My stitches
00:17:03 Yeah. You know what? You're right. Let's go to the frame
00:17:16 Ted Cole?
00:17:18 Yes. It is. It is Ted Cole.
00:17:20 It is Ted Cole. It is.
00:17:24 Don't be silly. It's nothing
00:17:27 Could you... Ah! Get Mr. Cole a chair.
00:17:29 Can't you see he's bleeding?
00:17:31 Look, I... No, you look. If there's no
00:17:34 There must be someone else here besides you,
00:17:40 Did you got mad at her?
00:17:45 To put it simply, I need
00:17:49 I'll take you myself.
00:17:52 Of course, um, I'm going
00:17:55 She's probably out shopping,
00:17:58 You see, my car, it's in the shop. Mm.
00:18:03 I use a bicycle,
00:18:07 Mm. Too bad.
00:18:12 You warned him, you disgusting cretin.
00:18:14 If you have killed him, Mrs. Vaughn,
00:18:19 You want this? Hmm?
00:18:23 I understand that you're angry.
00:18:27 When my customers are angry, I ask them to voice
00:18:32 I work for Ted Cole. I'm a writer's assistant.
00:18:51 "60 times. " Really?
00:18:54 Yes.
00:19:05 The Vaughns of Gin Lane?
00:19:08 We framed a painting by Sibley for
00:19:14 Please go on.
00:19:17 Your signature is very, very beautiful.
00:19:21 I need a pen with a broader nib.
00:19:26 Red like blood,
00:19:28 Yes. Of course.
00:20:04 This is Ruth. She's four.
00:20:10 What do you want from me?
00:20:13 It's of Ruth's mother.
00:20:16 It's not a good picture of the boys.
00:20:18 - Yes, I know. Ruth likes the feet.
00:20:22 Yes, dear.
00:20:24 I'll go check. Should be
00:20:28 Can I have my writing back, please?
00:20:30 It's really not out of my way.
00:20:36 No. That's all right.
00:20:39 It's not trouble.
00:20:42 No. Really. There you are. If you need
00:20:46 L
00:20:54 There's no charge for the photograph.
00:21:04 Yes.
00:21:07 - Is the blood all gone?
00:21:10 As good as new.
00:21:13 - Okay. Thanks.
00:21:17 perhaps next summer.
00:21:19 I can always use an extra
00:21:26 She wrote her freshman English
00:21:28 Mmm.
00:21:34 Uh, "An Analysis of the Atavistic Symbols
00:21:40 As you know, um, myths and fairy tales
00:21:44 like magic doors
00:21:47 and people being so frightened
00:21:52 And the vagina? When the, uh, little boy's in
00:21:58 How long was this paper?
00:22:01 not counting the footnotes
00:22:06 But...
00:22:08 I don't suppose you girls have a car?
00:22:35 Ahh.
00:22:37 Oh. Is this sandwich for me?
00:22:41 These slippers are just wonderful.
00:22:45 They were a Christmas gift
00:22:48 Ah. May I?
00:22:54 I'll get these clothes right back to you. I
00:22:59 Look at that.
00:23:01 Phil was almost exactly your size.
00:23:07 Oh.
00:23:12 You know,
00:23:15 I've been looking for two suitable
00:23:19 Something I'm thinking about for my book.
00:23:22 At first I would want to draw
00:23:26 That way, when I draw
00:23:29 uh, the presence of the other one is...
00:23:33 How long would it take, and...
00:23:35 Uh... which one of us would you
00:23:39 I should do Glorie first.
00:23:43 First, uh... Well, first, the two
00:23:47 then Glorie alone, and then when
00:23:53 Mr. Cole,
00:23:56 So which are you,
00:24:00 Oh, Glorie, I'm...
00:24:03 I'm neither, really. I'm...
00:24:06 and I like to draw.
00:24:09 What sort of drawings
00:24:11 Don't... No, no, no.! Don't... Don't stop.
00:24:14 My goodness.
00:24:30 Uh, yeah. Why don't you, uh,
00:24:36 I'll be right there.
00:25:56 Would you like, uh, some
00:26:01 For the whole rest of your life, whenever you
00:26:06 Your hand will grow bigger, and your finger will grow
00:26:11 And it will always show up in your
00:26:16 I'll show you.
00:26:41 - Those are my fingerprints.
00:26:45 - So you were at the doctor's office
00:26:48 And we went to the beach.
00:26:52 And Eddie showed me my fingerprint.
00:26:55 - I see the photograph was ready finally.
00:26:58 Look at all this sand in your hair, Ruth.
00:27:02 Well, I was waiting quite a while
00:27:09 Where's Marion going? I'll give
00:27:12 - Answer me.
00:27:14 What's this? It's the only good
00:27:22 "60 times"?
00:27:30 Okay. Let's run.
00:27:36 Did you saw that?
00:27:38 Where are all the other pictures? Uh,
00:27:44 Look at you. You've got sand in your toes and in
00:27:50 Well, I guess it's a good time
00:27:55 But Mommy didn't move those things.
00:27:59 They're picture hooks.
00:28:03 - Mommy moved all the pictures but not the picture hooks.
00:28:08 I'll take a quick shower.
00:28:13 Why would Mommy do that?
00:28:17 I don't know, sweetie.
00:28:25 Hi. This is Ted.
00:28:29 Yeah, my wife's left me.
00:28:32 No, no. I'm okay.
00:28:38 Yeah. All right. Yeah.
00:28:41 I'll see you then. Bye.
00:28:49 Aah!
00:28:51 I don't know.
00:28:56 Jesus!
00:28:59 Christ!
00:29:01 I hit you with an open hand...
00:29:04 You clench your fist, you
00:29:07 Jesus Christ.! I'm sorry. Marion
00:29:10 "Marion said'"?
00:29:13 to get custody of Ruth,
00:29:16 She doesn't expect to get custody of Ruth.
00:29:20 - She told you that?
00:29:28 What kind of mother doesn't even try
00:29:34 I don't know.
00:29:39 God.
00:29:43 Okay. Okay.
00:29:47 Christ.
00:29:50 Why... Why did she have to take all
00:29:53 She could have taken the negatives and had
00:29:58 The hell she did.
00:30:06 She can't have the photographs
00:30:11 They were my sons too. I should have half the
00:30:16 Ruth should have some of the photographs.
00:30:21 Oh. Well, obviously,
00:30:25 I doubt it.
00:30:27 That's the only place she could go. I even know where in
00:30:33 You don't have an imagination, Eddie.
00:30:37 Christ. Aren't you planning on
00:30:41 That Marion's question,
00:30:44 - It's mine.
00:30:49 - She didn't tell me to get the photograph. That was my idea.
00:30:54 - I was thinking of Ruth.
00:31:00 Thank you.
00:31:04 No.
00:31:09 What day is tomorrow, Saturday? Yeah.
00:31:11 I want you out of here by tomorrow. Sunday at the
00:31:17 Alice can take you.
00:31:21 What about this one?
00:31:25 I'm sorry, Ruth. I don't
00:31:28 This is the one with Thomas in the tall hat.
00:31:33 Timothy can't reach Thomas's hat, 'cause Thomas is
00:31:39 Was the fight in the picture? No. The
00:31:43 Okay. We're gonna go watch a
00:31:47 We're gonna go pick a
00:31:49 Ruthie, stop it!
00:31:52 Stop it!
00:31:54 Oh, Alice.
00:32:01 What? What have you
00:32:03 I didn't do anything. She was
00:32:06 I've been asking her what's wrong,
00:32:14 Where's Ruthie?
00:32:17 Uh, she's asleep.
00:32:25 I'm sorry, Alice, for
00:32:30 Fuck you, Ted. I appreciate
00:32:36 I've spent years trying to get over
00:32:41 And I've done
00:32:44 No.
00:32:47 No. I just can't anymore.
00:32:52 And you should have
00:32:55 It's... It's too late for me to quit, Alice.
00:32:58 I never knew you were such
00:33:01 Alice has been superior to me
00:33:05 I am morally superior to you, Eddie.
00:33:09 "Morally superior. "
00:33:13 Don't you ever feel morally
00:33:17 Yeah. You see? Everyone feels
00:33:22 Fuck you guys.
00:33:24 There goes my ride
00:33:27 Oh, you're a smart boy, Eddie.
00:33:36 You want a drink?
00:33:40 No, thanks.
00:33:42 Oh, for Chrissake.
00:33:49 Jesus. Look at this yard.
00:33:55 Cannot believe she doesn't want
00:34:00 What kind of mother
00:34:03 I don't know her well enough
00:34:06 Let me tell you something, Eddie.
00:34:08 I don't know her well enough
00:34:12 Yeah, well, don't forget,
00:34:16 Guess she knew you pretty well.
00:34:20 Well enough to judge me,
00:34:26 But then, she's leaving you too,
00:34:34 You don't expect her to call you up
00:34:40 No. I don't expect to hear from her.
00:34:44 Hmm. I have drawings of her.
00:34:49 I drew her long ago,
00:34:54 She was so... so incredible.
00:35:01 You should have known her then.
00:35:05 Oh, Marion.
00:35:09 She hated to pose for me.
00:35:15 These are the only drawings I kept.
00:35:21 I was never good enough
00:35:24 I didn't know how to.
00:35:33 You want one?
00:35:36 No. Ruth should have them.
00:35:38 Mmm.
00:35:41 You're full
00:35:46 Wrong cubes.
00:36:04 Marion?
00:36:06 Jesus, aren't you the optimist?
00:36:12 Forget the light, Eddie.
00:36:16 This story's better in the dark.
00:36:23 What story? You told me you
00:36:27 but Marion can't handle this story.
00:36:30 Turns her to stone just thinking about it.
00:36:33 Remember, you turned her to stone
00:36:38 I remember.
00:36:41 Go on.
00:36:47 Well, here's the deal.
00:36:52 Thomas had his driver's license,
00:36:59 Tommy was 17 and...
00:37:03 Timmy was 15. He had only started
00:37:10 It was Ted's opinion that Timmy,
00:37:14 was already a more attentive student
00:37:21 Timmy studied the driving manual diligently.
00:37:27 He was a more patient driver than Thomas.
00:37:30 Not that Tommy was a bad driver.
00:37:36 He was alert, confident.
00:37:41 He had excellent reflexes.
00:37:47 And he was cynical enough to assume...
00:37:54 that every other driver is a bad driver.
00:37:58 Who taught to you drive, Eddie?
00:38:01 Um, my dad.
00:38:04 Well, good for him.
00:38:06 Tell him for me,
00:38:12 Okay.
00:38:29 Keep... Keep going.
00:38:33 We were out west, actually,
00:38:39 It was snowing...
00:38:45 At 17 and 15, respectively,
00:38:49 Thomas and Timothy
00:38:54 That day, in fact, Ted and Marion
00:38:59 where they were waiting
00:39:02 for Thomas and Timothy
00:39:06 and the last run after that.
00:39:10 I get the picture.
00:39:15 Well, that, uh...
00:39:19 that was one aspect
00:39:22 in the... area of the ongoing argument
00:39:27 I mean, Marion said that Ted was drunk,
00:39:33 Marion, while not drunk, certainly had had
00:39:37 Besides, Tommy had not been drinking.
00:39:42 There was no disagreement
00:39:45 And, brothers being brothers,
00:39:48 Timmy sat beside him in the passenger seat.
00:39:53 And as for the parents,
00:39:55 Ted and Marion... sat in the backseat.
00:40:03 Ted and Marion
00:40:06 about the best route
00:40:10 There was gonna have to be a left turn
00:40:14 So, Tommy moves into the center lane.
00:40:18 It's, um, a turning lane.
00:40:21 He puts on his blinker,
00:40:24 not knowing that both lights
00:40:29 that his father failed to clear off
00:40:33 failed to clear off the rear window.
00:40:38 Any cars coming up from behind Tommy's car
00:40:44 the brake lights or the tail lights.
00:40:46 The car is not visible,
00:40:51 or it's visible only at the last second to any...
00:40:55 anyone approaching from behind.
00:41:04 And then, the interior of the car
00:41:09 - It's the headlights from the car
00:41:24 The snowplow cut the car
00:41:36 Tommy was killed by the steering column.
00:41:43 And Ted...
00:41:46 was trapped in the backseat
00:41:53 He...
00:41:55 - He couldn't see Tommy, but he knew
00:42:02 She couldn't see Timmy.
00:42:05 Ted, however, could see
00:42:10 Ted could also see that the snowplow,
00:42:15 also cut Timmy's left leg off
00:42:26 Timothy Cole bled to death
00:42:35 Marion knew that Tommy was dead,
00:42:38 but only that Timmy
00:42:41 hopefully... to the hospital.
00:42:46 And then Marion,
00:42:49 she sees Timmy's shoe in the wreckage.
00:42:53 "Oh, look. Timmy's shoe.
00:43:00 And she walks over to it,
00:43:12 Ted... Ted wanted to stop her.
00:43:22 Talk about turned to stone.
00:43:30 I couldn't move.
00:43:51 And that was when Ted
00:43:54 that her younger son's shoe
00:44:02 to a leg.
00:44:07 And that was when Marion realized
00:44:18 And that...
00:44:21 that is the end of the story.

00:45:01 I gave her you.

00:48:57 Even before the accident...
00:49:00 even if there had never been
00:49:04 she still would be difficult.
00:49:08 I don't believe it.
