Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:05,706 --> 00:00:07,275
So I've got her
Spread-eagled
2
00:00:07,375 --> 00:00:09,977
On top of a table
In the law school library
After hours
3
00:00:10,078 --> 00:00:13,614
And I am terrified
4
00:00:13,714 --> 00:00:16,850
Because, well,
You know...
5
00:00:16,950 --> 00:00:18,552
Because you're
Afraid that--
6
00:00:18,652 --> 00:00:20,521
Yes.
Mm-hmm.
7
00:00:20,621 --> 00:00:22,790
I swear to god,
I'm reciting tort reform
In my head
8
00:00:22,890 --> 00:00:25,093
So I won't come.
9
00:00:25,193 --> 00:00:27,828
So finally I get
Her panties off
10
00:00:27,928 --> 00:00:29,663
And she's sitting
There buck naked
11
00:00:29,763 --> 00:00:32,666
On top of
All these back issues
Of "The law review."
12
00:00:32,766 --> 00:00:35,236
And suddenly
I just know
13
00:00:35,336 --> 00:00:38,906
That it isn't
Going to happen.
14
00:00:39,006 --> 00:00:41,775
You couldn't have--
15
00:00:41,875 --> 00:00:45,746
Right, yeah.
16
00:00:45,846 --> 00:00:48,015
And she turns to me
And she says,
17
00:00:48,116 --> 00:00:50,751
"It's okay, eli,
You know.
18
00:00:50,851 --> 00:00:52,286
It happens to everybody
Sometimes."
19
00:00:52,386 --> 00:00:55,323
And she is so fucking
Understanding
20
00:00:55,423 --> 00:00:57,258
That it really fucking
Pisses me off.
21
00:00:57,358 --> 00:00:59,260
And then
She starts to say
22
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,329
All of these
Really shitty things.
23
00:01:01,429 --> 00:01:02,896
Like what?
24
00:01:02,996 --> 00:01:04,898
"Don't get
So upset, eli.
25
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:07,635
It isn't manly."
26
00:01:07,735 --> 00:01:10,971
I mean, what the fuck
Does that even mean?
What the fuck is manly?
27
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:13,674
( crashing )
28
00:01:15,676 --> 00:01:19,613
Can you just
Give me a second,
Please?
29
00:01:28,689 --> 00:01:30,458
I'm sorry.
30
00:01:30,558 --> 00:01:33,961
That's okay.
31
00:01:34,061 --> 00:01:36,096
You're about an hour
And a half early.
32
00:01:36,197 --> 00:01:38,699
I can wait.
33
00:01:38,799 --> 00:01:40,534
Is everything okay?
34
00:01:40,634 --> 00:01:44,104
Shouldn't you be
In school?
35
00:01:44,205 --> 00:01:46,240
We got out early.
36
00:01:46,340 --> 00:01:49,210
You came here
By yourself?
37
00:01:49,310 --> 00:01:52,980
Where's your mom
And dad?
38
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,417
- I ran away from school.
- oh.
39
00:01:56,517 --> 00:01:58,786
I can't
Go back to school.
40
00:02:00,854 --> 00:02:02,990
Um, okay.
41
00:02:03,090 --> 00:02:04,592
You know what?
You can stay here.
42
00:02:04,692 --> 00:02:06,960
But I'm going to have
To call your dad.
43
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:09,430
Good.
44
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:17,305
( theme music playing )
45
00:02:34,154 --> 00:02:35,656
Are you mad at me?
46
00:02:35,756 --> 00:02:37,225
Not at all.
47
00:02:37,325 --> 00:02:38,792
But I am concerned
About you.
48
00:02:38,892 --> 00:02:41,929
Do you want to tell me
Why you ran away
From school?
49
00:02:42,029 --> 00:02:43,497
Bad day.
50
00:02:43,597 --> 00:02:45,233
What happened?
51
00:02:45,333 --> 00:02:47,268
Can't I just
Sit here?
52
00:02:47,368 --> 00:02:49,136
I just thought--
You came here so early,
53
00:02:49,237 --> 00:02:51,905
You must have something
That you want to talk about.
54
00:02:52,005 --> 00:02:53,441
I told you--
55
00:02:53,541 --> 00:02:55,443
My mom's still away
And my dad's at work.
56
00:02:55,543 --> 00:02:58,145
But you've got keys
To both their apartments,
57
00:02:58,246 --> 00:03:00,848
And you came here.
58
00:03:00,948 --> 00:03:04,452
Do you have
Any more ham?
59
00:03:04,552 --> 00:03:07,120
You want me to make you
Another sandwich?
60
00:03:07,221 --> 00:03:08,722
Is that okay?
61
00:03:08,822 --> 00:03:10,358
Sure.
I can do that.
62
00:03:10,458 --> 00:03:12,192
But I hope by now
You understand
63
00:03:12,293 --> 00:03:14,161
That if there's
Something bothering you,
64
00:03:14,262 --> 00:03:17,665
You can talk
To me about it.
65
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:23,671
Somebody put dog shit
In my locker.
66
00:03:35,783 --> 00:03:37,918
That's terrible.
67
00:03:39,119 --> 00:03:40,988
When was this?
68
00:03:41,088 --> 00:03:43,524
I came down from
The roof at recess
69
00:03:43,624 --> 00:03:46,594
To get my gloves
Out of my locker.
70
00:03:46,694 --> 00:03:48,362
When I opened it
71
00:03:48,462 --> 00:03:51,465
There was dog shit
Everywhere,
72
00:03:51,565 --> 00:03:53,834
All over my backpack
And all my stuff.
73
00:03:53,934 --> 00:03:55,903
I went back to the roof
To tell my teacher.
74
00:03:56,003 --> 00:03:58,672
- what did she say?
- she got a janitor
To clean it up.
75
00:03:58,772 --> 00:04:01,241
But recess was over,
So everybody knew
What happened.
76
00:04:01,342 --> 00:04:04,778
Do you have any idea
Who was responsible?
77
00:04:04,878 --> 00:04:06,246
Eric.
78
00:04:06,347 --> 00:04:10,017
But nobody saw him,
79
00:04:10,117 --> 00:04:11,585
So nothing's gonna
Happen to him.
80
00:04:11,685 --> 00:04:15,389
Yeah, well, I remember
What he did to your shoes,
81
00:04:15,489 --> 00:04:19,660
So I guess this would be
His next logical step.
82
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,962
All through math
Everybody laughed
About it.
83
00:04:22,062 --> 00:04:26,334
The teacher got upset
'cause no one was
Paying attention.
84
00:04:26,434 --> 00:04:29,503
That was
My fault too.
85
00:04:29,603 --> 00:04:33,407
Listen, somebody did
Something awful to you.
86
00:04:33,507 --> 00:04:36,276
That is not
Your fault, okay?
87
00:04:37,945 --> 00:04:41,014
I asked my teacher
If I could go to
The bathroom.
88
00:04:41,114 --> 00:04:44,985
But I went
To the lobby instead.
89
00:04:45,085 --> 00:04:48,288
While the guard was
Talking to someone else,
I snuck out.
90
00:04:48,389 --> 00:04:51,692
Well, you weren't
Kidding.
91
00:04:54,428 --> 00:04:57,898
You had
A hell of a day.
92
00:04:57,998 --> 00:05:01,969
But I'm glad you
Came here so that we
Can talk about it.
93
00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:04,405
My dad's
Gonna be so mad.
94
00:05:04,505 --> 00:05:06,407
And he's already
Really mad.
95
00:05:06,507 --> 00:05:08,876
- what's he mad about?
- everything.
96
00:05:08,976 --> 00:05:11,779
I've been staying
With him for two weeks
Since mom went away.
97
00:05:11,879 --> 00:05:14,582
And he yells
At me all the time,
No matter what I do.
98
00:05:14,682 --> 00:05:16,283
So what do you do
When he yells at you?
99
00:05:16,384 --> 00:05:17,785
Let him yell.
100
00:05:17,885 --> 00:05:21,489
Do you ever discuss
The things you fight about?
101
00:05:21,589 --> 00:05:24,257
He doesn't talk to me
Unless he's yelling.
102
00:05:24,358 --> 00:05:27,027
I think he broke up
With nina.
103
00:05:27,127 --> 00:05:28,562
Did he tell you that?
104
00:05:28,662 --> 00:05:31,164
No, but she doesn't
Come over anymore.
105
00:05:31,264 --> 00:05:32,966
That's my fault too.
106
00:05:33,066 --> 00:05:35,669
That can't be your fault.
107
00:05:35,769 --> 00:05:39,573
Nina told my dad to make
Better rules for me.
108
00:05:39,673 --> 00:05:42,242
And then they had
This big fight.
109
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:44,645
Now she doesn't
Come over.
110
00:05:44,745 --> 00:05:46,714
And when I see her at school
She doesn't smile at me.
111
00:05:46,814 --> 00:05:49,216
- do you miss her?
- not really.
112
00:05:49,316 --> 00:05:51,719
But I think
My dad does.
113
00:05:54,922 --> 00:05:57,425
He did a really bad thing
The day after the fight.
114
00:05:57,525 --> 00:05:59,159
What did he do?
115
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:01,929
I shouldn't tell you.
116
00:06:02,029 --> 00:06:05,433
Okay.
It's up to you.
117
00:06:07,300 --> 00:06:09,302
He bought
A six-pack of beer
118
00:06:09,403 --> 00:06:11,171
And drank all of it
119
00:06:11,271 --> 00:06:13,040
And he fell asleep
On the couch.
120
00:06:13,140 --> 00:06:15,809
- and what happened?
- he didn't get up in time
For work.
121
00:06:15,909 --> 00:06:17,611
He yelled at me
For that too.
122
00:06:17,711 --> 00:06:19,613
"Why didn't you
Wake me up?"
123
00:06:19,713 --> 00:06:22,450
But I didn't know
I was supposed to do that.
124
00:06:22,550 --> 00:06:24,284
There was no way
You could've known
125
00:06:24,384 --> 00:06:25,819
What you were
Supposed to do.
126
00:06:25,919 --> 00:06:27,755
My mom was supposed
To be back by now.
127
00:06:27,855 --> 00:06:30,824
But she had to stay
On her vacation
An extra week.
128
00:06:30,924 --> 00:06:33,360
Have you told her about
The fights you've been
Having with your dad?
129
00:06:33,461 --> 00:06:36,196
No, she'll just
Get sad.
130
00:06:36,296 --> 00:06:40,634
Well, if I were
In your shoes,
131
00:06:40,734 --> 00:06:43,003
I'd be really upset
About all that.
132
00:06:43,103 --> 00:06:46,073
( door opens )
133
00:06:46,173 --> 00:06:49,209
You know, oliver,
I keep thinking you've sunk
As low as you can go,
134
00:06:49,309 --> 00:06:51,378
But it turns out
There's no bottom.
135
00:06:51,479 --> 00:06:53,547
Luke, why don't we
Just sit down?
136
00:06:53,647 --> 00:06:55,449
We can talk about what
Happened to oliver today.
137
00:06:55,549 --> 00:06:58,886
I get out of my meeting--
I have seven messages
From your school.
138
00:06:58,986 --> 00:07:01,889
What the hell were you
Thinking to just disappear
Like that?
139
00:07:01,989 --> 00:07:04,458
Eric dumped dog shit
All in my locker.
140
00:07:04,558 --> 00:07:06,226
He did what?
141
00:07:06,326 --> 00:07:08,161
Apparently
During recess today
142
00:07:08,261 --> 00:07:11,164
Some kid vandalized
Oliver's locker.
143
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:12,600
Nobody saw
Who did it.
144
00:07:12,700 --> 00:07:14,602
But all the kids knew
That it had happened.
145
00:07:14,702 --> 00:07:16,637
I hate that fucking place
And I'm not going back.
146
00:07:16,737 --> 00:07:19,740
- nobody told me that.
- why didn't you ask me
Before you started yelling?
147
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,509
Because you still shouldn't
Just run off from school.
148
00:07:21,609 --> 00:07:24,612
It's dangerous
And you know better.
149
00:07:24,712 --> 00:07:26,780
Oliver, I think
That what your dad
Is trying to say
150
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,651
Is that he understands
That you've had a bad day.
151
00:07:30,751 --> 00:07:35,523
And he's just concerned
That you left school
152
00:07:35,623 --> 00:07:38,058
And you didn't tell anybody
Where you were going.
153
00:07:38,158 --> 00:07:41,228
I don't want to talk
About this anymore.
154
00:07:41,328 --> 00:07:42,530
Paul:
I understand.
155
00:07:42,630 --> 00:07:45,465
Okay, why don't you
Just go outside
156
00:07:45,566 --> 00:07:47,701
And I'll talk
To your dad, okay?
157
00:07:57,745 --> 00:07:59,680
( door closes )
158
00:08:09,723 --> 00:08:11,491
Where were you
Last week?
159
00:08:11,592 --> 00:08:14,862
I'm sorry
I couldn't be here.
160
00:08:14,962 --> 00:08:18,098
First bess vanishes
On this apparently
Permanent vacation,
161
00:08:18,198 --> 00:08:19,633
And then you go awol.
162
00:08:19,733 --> 00:08:22,235
It's like rats deserting
A sinking ship.
163
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:23,771
It was
An emergency, luke.
164
00:08:23,871 --> 00:08:26,540
Yeah, well,
It's an emergency
Over here too.
165
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,441
Every day he comes up
With a new way
166
00:08:28,542 --> 00:08:31,478
To drive me
Up the fucking wall.
167
00:08:31,579 --> 00:08:33,581
So you've had a tough
Couple of weeks?
168
00:08:33,681 --> 00:08:35,549
Bess calls every day.
169
00:08:35,649 --> 00:08:37,551
And we lie and tell her
Everything's fine.
170
00:08:37,651 --> 00:08:39,953
And she says she needs
A little more time.
171
00:08:40,053 --> 00:08:43,156
That must be
Pretty stressful
On you and oliver.
172
00:08:43,256 --> 00:08:45,726
First he suddenly decides
He won't do his homework.
173
00:08:45,826 --> 00:08:49,663
He says he's taking
A stand on principle--
174
00:08:49,763 --> 00:08:51,632
The principle
That school is stupid.
175
00:08:51,732 --> 00:08:53,567
Have you talked to him
About it
176
00:08:53,667 --> 00:08:56,637
Or were you hoping
I would say something?
177
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:01,441
I took away
His tv privileges and
His computer privileges,
178
00:09:01,541 --> 00:09:04,011
But he still won't do
His homework.
179
00:09:04,111 --> 00:09:06,346
He just sits there
And stares at the wall.
180
00:09:06,446 --> 00:09:09,382
He certainly knows
How to push your buttons,
Doesn't he?
181
00:09:09,482 --> 00:09:11,484
Next he decides
To stop bathing.
182
00:09:11,585 --> 00:09:13,687
What the hell
Am I supposed to do,
183
00:09:13,787 --> 00:09:16,389
Climb into
The shower with him
And soap him down?
184
00:09:16,489 --> 00:09:18,826
I think oliver feels
Powerless,
185
00:09:18,926 --> 00:09:20,628
So he's refusing
To follow the rules
186
00:09:20,728 --> 00:09:22,630
Because that's
The only way
187
00:09:22,730 --> 00:09:25,498
That he can get
Some control.
188
00:09:25,599 --> 00:09:28,702
Yesterday, after he
Left for school
189
00:09:28,802 --> 00:09:31,338
I went into his room
And looked under his bed,
190
00:09:31,438 --> 00:09:33,506
Past the mountain
Of dirty clothes.
191
00:09:33,607 --> 00:09:35,375
There was all this food
Hidden in there--
192
00:09:35,475 --> 00:09:37,745
Half-empty packages
193
00:09:37,845 --> 00:09:40,147
Of oreos and doritos
And cheetos.
194
00:09:40,247 --> 00:09:41,882
I mean, there was--
195
00:09:41,982 --> 00:09:43,751
Did you tell oliver
What you'd found?
196
00:09:43,851 --> 00:09:45,585
Yeah, and he got
Furious,
197
00:09:45,686 --> 00:09:49,489
Ran into his room
And slammed the door.
198
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:54,094
I should've gone in
And talked to him,
But I was so exhausted.
199
00:09:54,194 --> 00:09:56,296
I understand
That you'd be alarmed
By all this.
200
00:09:56,396 --> 00:09:59,399
But you know what?
I've worked with
A lot of kids
201
00:09:59,499 --> 00:10:01,601
In situations
Similar to oliver's
202
00:10:01,702 --> 00:10:06,473
And overeating is
A pretty common response.
203
00:10:06,573 --> 00:10:10,811
You know, this--
204
00:10:10,911 --> 00:10:15,215
This thing that happened
At school today,
205
00:10:15,315 --> 00:10:19,152
It isn't
The first time.
206
00:10:19,252 --> 00:10:21,454
Oliver gets
Bullied a lot.
207
00:10:21,554 --> 00:10:23,857
Have you done anything
About it?
208
00:10:23,957 --> 00:10:26,093
Now that the school
Knows there's a problem,
209
00:10:26,193 --> 00:10:29,663
They're obligated
To help you find
A solution.
210
00:10:29,763 --> 00:10:31,799
Well, now,
211
00:10:31,899 --> 00:10:34,167
How are they
Going to stop kids
From picking on oliver?
212
00:10:34,267 --> 00:10:38,638
I mean, you see
Why it happens, right?
213
00:10:38,739 --> 00:10:40,640
I mean, he's fat,
He's shy,
214
00:10:40,741 --> 00:10:42,810
He doesn't have any friends
And he smells bad.
215
00:10:42,910 --> 00:10:46,680
If I were his age,
I'd probably bully
Him too.
216
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:52,753
The way he's been
Behaving lately,
217
00:10:52,853 --> 00:10:55,088
I can see how that
Would make you angry.
218
00:10:55,188 --> 00:10:57,624
Sometimes I just want
To shake him and say,
219
00:10:57,725 --> 00:11:01,161
"If you keep acting
Like this, no one's ever
Gonna be your friend.
220
00:11:01,261 --> 00:11:03,864
Is that
What you want?"
221
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:08,501
That's unforgiveable,
Isn't it?
222
00:11:08,601 --> 00:11:11,071
I think you want
To try and spare oliver
223
00:11:11,171 --> 00:11:13,673
From the pain that he's
Going through right now.
224
00:11:13,774 --> 00:11:15,642
But you love him
So much
225
00:11:15,743 --> 00:11:18,545
And that makes you
Frustrated and angry.
226
00:11:18,645 --> 00:11:22,449
Yeah, but what
Good is loving him
If I can't help him?
227
00:11:22,549 --> 00:11:25,218
But isn't loving him
Helping him?
228
00:11:27,788 --> 00:11:31,091
I don't know anything
About anything this week.
229
00:11:33,593 --> 00:11:35,328
So what else has been
Going on, luke?
230
00:11:35,428 --> 00:11:38,298
Looks like
I'm single again.
231
00:11:38,398 --> 00:11:40,968
Nina and I had a huge
Fight about oliver.
232
00:11:41,068 --> 00:11:43,804
And the reason
I asked her out
In the first place
233
00:11:43,904 --> 00:11:45,806
Is because
She liked him.
234
00:11:45,906 --> 00:11:47,741
I thought she'd be
Good with him.
235
00:11:47,841 --> 00:11:51,211
But it turned out
She just isn't on my side.
236
00:11:51,311 --> 00:11:54,314
And whose side
Do you think she's on?
237
00:11:54,414 --> 00:11:58,018
Last week oliver dropped
A carton of ice cream
On the carpet.
238
00:11:58,118 --> 00:12:00,854
Of course
I got pissed off.
239
00:12:00,954 --> 00:12:02,823
Then nina came over
240
00:12:02,923 --> 00:12:05,458
And for some stupid reason
I expected her to back me.
241
00:12:05,558 --> 00:12:08,095
So you wanted her
To help you
242
00:12:08,195 --> 00:12:10,097
Discipline oliver.
243
00:12:10,197 --> 00:12:12,132
But instead she started
Screaming at me.
244
00:12:12,232 --> 00:12:14,534
She said I wasn't spending
Enough time with oliver,
245
00:12:14,634 --> 00:12:17,137
I wasn't setting clear
Boundaries for him.
246
00:12:17,237 --> 00:12:19,106
And how did you
Respond to that?
247
00:12:19,206 --> 00:12:21,574
I told her if I wanted
Somebody yelling at me
All the time,
248
00:12:21,674 --> 00:12:24,211
I would've stayed
Married to bess.
249
00:12:24,311 --> 00:12:28,248
( chuckles )
That went over
Real well.
250
00:12:31,684 --> 00:12:34,621
You know, at first
Nina was a lot of fun.
251
00:12:34,721 --> 00:12:36,857
I could come home
At the end of the day
252
00:12:36,957 --> 00:12:39,192
And just relax
With her.
253
00:12:39,292 --> 00:12:41,161
Then all of a sudden
254
00:12:41,261 --> 00:12:43,797
She started scrutinizing
My every move,
255
00:12:43,897 --> 00:12:45,365
Marshalling evidence
Against me.
256
00:12:45,465 --> 00:12:48,068
I don't know, paul.
257
00:12:48,168 --> 00:12:50,103
Why do I keep choosing
These crazy women?
258
00:12:50,203 --> 00:12:54,041
I'm not so sure, luke,
That it's the women
Who are crazy.
259
00:12:54,141 --> 00:12:56,076
I think
It's the position
260
00:12:56,176 --> 00:12:58,245
That you're
Putting them in.
261
00:12:58,345 --> 00:13:00,981
So you're saying
It's all my fault?
262
00:13:01,081 --> 00:13:03,884
From what I've seen,
You enjoy having fun
With oliver.
263
00:13:03,984 --> 00:13:05,853
But when it comes
To making the rules,
264
00:13:05,953 --> 00:13:07,855
Creating a structure
For him,
265
00:13:07,955 --> 00:13:10,323
For a long time
You let bess do that job.
266
00:13:10,423 --> 00:13:13,793
And then you hoped
That nina would take
Her place.
267
00:13:13,894 --> 00:13:16,763
So when he misbehaves,
268
00:13:16,864 --> 00:13:19,432
You blame them.
269
00:13:19,532 --> 00:13:24,037
You refuse to take
Responsibility for
Oliver yourself.
270
00:13:24,137 --> 00:13:28,675
So can you see how that
Might upset everybody?
271
00:13:28,775 --> 00:13:31,178
Boy, now I could
Really use a drink.
272
00:13:31,278 --> 00:13:33,746
Have you been
Drinking lately?
273
00:13:33,847 --> 00:13:36,749
What did oliver
Tell you?
274
00:13:36,850 --> 00:13:38,618
Why would you
Ask me that?
275
00:13:38,718 --> 00:13:40,220
Because the night
I broke up with nina
276
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,289
I went out
And got a six-pack,
277
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:45,258
Drank the whole thing
Right in front of the kid.
278
00:13:45,358 --> 00:13:48,661
I thought,
"Let him tell nina,
279
00:13:48,761 --> 00:13:50,630
Or bess, or you."
280
00:13:50,730 --> 00:13:51,999
Why not?
281
00:13:52,099 --> 00:13:54,902
So you wanted oliver
To tell us?
282
00:13:55,002 --> 00:13:56,336
I don't care.
283
00:13:56,436 --> 00:13:58,138
I never really had
A drinking problem.
284
00:13:58,238 --> 00:14:00,974
That was
Bess being paranoid.
But the other night
285
00:14:01,074 --> 00:14:03,176
I'd just broken up
With my girlfriend,
286
00:14:03,276 --> 00:14:05,745
My kid was acting up,
My ex-wife skipped town,
287
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:07,981
You'd skipped town.
288
00:14:08,081 --> 00:14:10,050
Shit, who wouldn't need
A drink after all that, right?
289
00:14:10,150 --> 00:14:14,021
Are you saying
You needed a drink?
290
00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:20,227
You know, the week before
Bess went on vacation,
291
00:14:20,327 --> 00:14:22,829
Oliver was on his
Best behavior.
292
00:14:22,930 --> 00:14:25,598
The second
She left town,
293
00:14:25,698 --> 00:14:29,269
He's turned into
This monster.
294
00:14:29,369 --> 00:14:32,039
Is he trying to get
Some kind of reaction
Out of me?
295
00:14:32,139 --> 00:14:33,907
I think
That's part of it.
296
00:14:34,007 --> 00:14:36,476
But I also think that he
Was behaving so well
297
00:14:36,576 --> 00:14:39,146
Because he was trying
To get some kind of
Reaction from you.
298
00:14:39,246 --> 00:14:41,348
That doesn't make
Any sense.
299
00:14:41,448 --> 00:14:43,116
Well, look at it from
Oliver's point of view.
300
00:14:43,216 --> 00:14:45,986
His family
Is breaking apart,
301
00:14:46,086 --> 00:14:48,188
So he puts a lot
Of pressure on himself,
302
00:14:48,288 --> 00:14:50,323
Trying to behave
Perfectly,
303
00:14:50,423 --> 00:14:53,193
Hoping that that would
Solve the problem.
304
00:14:53,293 --> 00:14:55,295
So you're saying
He was faking it.
305
00:14:55,395 --> 00:14:57,230
In a way, yeah.
306
00:14:57,330 --> 00:14:58,932
I mean, he even tried
To stop eating
307
00:14:59,032 --> 00:15:01,668
So that you wouldn't be
Concerned about his weight.
308
00:15:01,768 --> 00:15:03,570
He told you that?
309
00:15:03,670 --> 00:15:05,838
But it didn't work.
310
00:15:05,939 --> 00:15:08,675
He did everything right,
But it didn't solve any
Of the problems.
311
00:15:08,775 --> 00:15:11,811
So now maybe
He's behaving badly
312
00:15:11,911 --> 00:15:14,881
To try and make you feel
As badly as he feels.
313
00:15:14,982 --> 00:15:17,284
I tell you, I liked him
A hell of a lot better
314
00:15:17,384 --> 00:15:19,586
When he was pretending
To be happy.
315
00:15:19,686 --> 00:15:21,989
Well, oliver couldn't
Keep up that behavior
Forever.
316
00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:23,923
He had me fooled.
317
00:15:24,024 --> 00:15:26,459
Bess and I talked to him
About the adoption,
318
00:15:26,559 --> 00:15:28,728
And that seemed
To make him feel better.
319
00:15:28,828 --> 00:15:31,198
I honestly believed
He was doing well.
320
00:15:31,298 --> 00:15:34,134
Which is what I think
He wanted you to believe.
321
00:15:34,234 --> 00:15:36,970
I've talked to him
About the adoption too.
322
00:15:37,070 --> 00:15:40,307
And the way
He sees it,
323
00:15:40,407 --> 00:15:43,643
Bess and you were
Fighting too much
324
00:15:43,743 --> 00:15:46,546
And you gave
His brother away.
325
00:15:46,646 --> 00:15:48,781
And things
Are so difficult
For him right now
326
00:15:48,881 --> 00:15:51,218
That I think
Sometimes he wishes
327
00:15:51,318 --> 00:15:54,254
You'd give
Him away too.
328
00:15:57,157 --> 00:16:00,160
Does he even
Love me?
329
00:16:00,260 --> 00:16:03,696
Why would you
Say that?
330
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:05,898
I didn't love my dad.
331
00:16:05,999 --> 00:16:08,401
Not even when you were
Oliver's age?
332
00:16:08,501 --> 00:16:10,503
Okay.
333
00:16:10,603 --> 00:16:12,405
Sure.
334
00:16:12,505 --> 00:16:15,342
I did love him back then,
But it was unrequited love.
335
00:16:15,442 --> 00:16:18,211
You'll have to explain
That to me, luke.
336
00:16:18,311 --> 00:16:20,447
My father was
The dean of students
337
00:16:20,547 --> 00:16:22,549
And basketball coach
At my middle school.
338
00:16:22,649 --> 00:16:26,086
He was in charge
Of every breath
My brother and I took.
339
00:16:26,186 --> 00:16:28,355
When we did well,
340
00:16:28,455 --> 00:16:31,124
That's just
What he expected of us.
341
00:16:31,224 --> 00:16:35,128
And when we screwed up,
342
00:16:35,228 --> 00:16:36,996
Well, let's just say
343
00:16:37,097 --> 00:16:39,332
He was a man
Of limited sympathy.
344
00:16:39,432 --> 00:16:41,668
That's quite a lot
To live up to.
345
00:16:41,768 --> 00:16:45,038
You'd think that.
346
00:16:45,138 --> 00:16:47,340
The year I was
In the seventh grade,
He started taking
347
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:50,243
Long drives on the weekends
By himself.
348
00:16:50,343 --> 00:16:52,645
My brother and I
Got on our bikes
349
00:16:52,745 --> 00:16:56,216
And we rode
Around the neighborhood
Looking for his car.
350
00:16:56,316 --> 00:17:01,188
And we found it
In the driveway
Of this little house.
351
00:17:01,288 --> 00:17:03,590
My brother made me
Ring the buzzer.
352
00:17:03,690 --> 00:17:08,695
The door opened,
And there was my father's
Secretary--
353
00:17:08,795 --> 00:17:11,464
This nice lady
Who'd give us candy.
354
00:17:11,564 --> 00:17:14,801
Then my dad came out
Of her bathroom
355
00:17:14,901 --> 00:17:17,270
And started
Screaming at us.
356
00:17:17,370 --> 00:17:19,906
- what did you guys do?
- what could we do?
357
00:17:20,006 --> 00:17:22,942
We got on our bikes
And we rode home.
358
00:17:23,042 --> 00:17:27,580
And then I was lying awake
That night in the bed
359
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,183
And I realized my father's
Secretary's living room
360
00:17:30,283 --> 00:17:32,485
Looked exactly like
Our living room.
361
00:17:35,488 --> 00:17:38,558
Every piece of furniture
Was exactly the same as ours.
362
00:17:40,927 --> 00:17:43,096
He must've bought
It all for her.
363
00:17:44,797 --> 00:17:49,336
My brother told my mother
And shit hit the fan.
364
00:17:49,436 --> 00:17:52,239
She packed us up
And we left town.
365
00:17:52,339 --> 00:17:53,906
We only ever heard
From him
366
00:17:54,006 --> 00:17:56,276
When we sent his check
Every month.
367
00:17:56,376 --> 00:17:58,111
He was good
About the money,
368
00:17:58,211 --> 00:18:01,381
I'll give him that.
369
00:18:01,481 --> 00:18:05,685
But we didn't want
To see him.
370
00:18:05,785 --> 00:18:08,621
I mean, he sure didn't want
To see us.
371
00:18:10,823 --> 00:18:13,460
He never met bess
Or oliver.
372
00:18:15,295 --> 00:18:18,898
And when he died
It was like a formality.
373
00:18:18,998 --> 00:18:22,235
But lately...
374
00:18:26,239 --> 00:18:29,142
It's like
He's laughing at me.
375
00:18:31,077 --> 00:18:33,513
I did everything right.
376
00:18:33,613 --> 00:18:36,015
I proposed to bess
When I got her pregnant.
377
00:18:36,115 --> 00:18:38,518
I worked like a dog
To make a good home.
378
00:18:38,618 --> 00:18:41,854
I never raised a hand
To oliver.
379
00:18:44,157 --> 00:18:46,893
And now I feel
Like I'm standing right
Where my father stood.
380
00:18:49,262 --> 00:18:51,731
Just because you're
Getting a divorce,
381
00:18:51,831 --> 00:18:55,335
That doesn't mean
You're turning into
Your father.
382
00:18:55,435 --> 00:18:58,638
And it doesn't mean
That you're going to
Lose your son.
383
00:19:04,611 --> 00:19:07,180
But that's exactly what
It feels like I'm doing.
384
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,382
It's inevitable
That sometimes
385
00:19:09,482 --> 00:19:11,318
You'll remind yourself
Of your father.
386
00:19:11,418 --> 00:19:14,887
You see how you wound
Your own children
387
00:19:14,987 --> 00:19:18,625
So badly
Without even trying.
388
00:19:19,926 --> 00:19:22,195
Suddenly you almost
Understand
389
00:19:22,295 --> 00:19:26,165
How he could hurt you
The way he did.
390
00:19:28,568 --> 00:19:31,638
But you don't have to
Become like him.
391
00:19:31,738 --> 00:19:34,073
You're not doomed to live
Your father's life.
392
00:19:34,173 --> 00:19:36,376
You have a choice.
393
00:19:51,090 --> 00:19:53,760
I think our session
Is almost over.
394
00:19:53,860 --> 00:19:56,929
Would you like to say
Anything to oliver
Before you go?
395
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:59,966
Yeah, if we still
Have time.
396
00:20:00,066 --> 00:20:02,669
Okay.
397
00:20:06,639 --> 00:20:09,809
Oliver, do you want
To come in for a minute?
398
00:20:15,815 --> 00:20:18,585
I'm sorry you had
A bad day at school.
399
00:20:18,685 --> 00:20:21,421
It's okay.
400
00:20:21,521 --> 00:20:24,691
What do you say
We go get some pizza?
401
00:20:24,791 --> 00:20:27,894
Maybe check out a movie
If there's something
Good playing?
402
00:20:27,994 --> 00:20:30,397
On a school night?
403
00:20:31,498 --> 00:20:33,833
You've been through enough
Already today.
404
00:20:33,933 --> 00:20:36,503
You deserve a break.
405
00:20:43,543 --> 00:20:46,413
See you both
Next week.
406
00:20:58,525 --> 00:21:00,893
