00:12:18,277 --> 00:12:20,329
So, uh, you still rockin'
179
00:12:20,413 --> 00:12:22,931
- those old slippers, huh, Daddy?
- You know it. That's right.
180
00:12:23,015 --> 00:12:25,267
[Marian] That man ain't never
gonna get rid of them,
181
00:12:25,351 --> 00:12:27,536
even though they do stink
to high heaven.
182
00:12:27,620 --> 00:12:31,440
Ha! Just like I always say,
"Use it up. Wear it out."
183
00:12:31,524 --> 00:12:33,575
[both] "Make it do,
or do without."
184
00:12:33,659 --> 00:12:35,194
That's right.
185
00:12:39,232 --> 00:12:43,320
So, uh,
how long have you been...
186
00:12:44,337 --> 00:12:46,722
Oh, well, uh, two weeks.
187
00:12:46,806 --> 00:12:48,557
It took Medicare a bit,
188
00:12:48,641 --> 00:12:50,392
but they finally
got me this chair.
189
00:12:50,476 --> 00:12:52,661
Wish they would get him
a motorized one,
190
00:12:52,745 --> 00:12:56,165
But that old hunk of metal
is all they would pay for.
191
00:12:56,249 --> 00:12:59,835
Well, I'll be making money
in no time,
192
00:12:59,919 --> 00:13:02,137
So I can get you
whatever chair you need, Daddy.
193
00:13:02,221 --> 00:13:04,807
Uh-uh, uh-uh. I'm not taking
any of my daughter's check.
194
00:13:04,891 --> 00:13:07,040
Daddy, let me do this.
195
00:13:07,226 --> 00:13:08,227
[Marian] Hmm.
196
00:13:09,729 --> 00:13:12,314
Been hardheaded
since you were in the womb.
197
00:13:12,398 --> 00:13:15,117
Matter of fact,
I've still got the bruises.
198
00:13:15,201 --> 00:13:17,469
[all laugh]
199
00:13:19,171 --> 00:13:21,207
(Pensive music)
200
00:13:24,510 --> 00:13:26,979
[sirens wailing in distance]
201
00:13:29,515 --> 00:13:31,550
[chattering]
202
00:13:34,954 --> 00:13:36,516
Sorry, he's still not here.
203
00:13:37,023 --> 00:13:38,641
[sighs] Lord.
204
00:13:38,794 --> 00:13:40,712
I hate it
when people aren't punctual,
205
00:13:40,797 --> 00:13:42,611
Especially on their first day.
206
00:13:42,695 --> 00:13:44,880
I'm also mad it's the brother
that's gotta be late.
207
00:13:44,964 --> 00:13:47,783
You know? I mean, come on now.
You gotta represent.
208
00:13:47,867 --> 00:13:50,219
- Mm-hmm. [Laughs]
- Thanks, Lorraine.
209
00:13:50,303 --> 00:13:51,370
[Lorraine] Mm-hmm.
210
00:13:52,271 --> 00:13:54,122
- Oh.
- Hey. Sorry.
211
00:13:54,206 --> 00:13:56,442
- Come on in, Mr. Obama.
- Thank you.
212
00:13:58,210 --> 00:14:02,097
Hi, uh, I'm Barack.
Um, my apologies for being late.
213
00:14:02,181 --> 00:14:04,383
Start with these.
214
00:14:06,185 --> 00:14:08,103
- Okay.
- Uh, we'll need all of that
215
00:14:08,187 --> 00:14:09,671
back by tomorrow.
216
00:14:09,755 --> 00:14:13,342
And, uh, Lorraine can show you
to your desk.
217
00:14:13,426 --> 00:14:16,128
Okay. Thanks.
218
00:14:19,231 --> 00:14:21,278
- Nice to meet you.
- Mm-hmm.
219
00:14:32,545 --> 00:14:34,630
Thought I'd get
some fresh air too.
220
00:14:34,714 --> 00:14:37,750
Uh... mind if I, uh, join you?
221
00:14:38,617 --> 00:14:41,536
Uh, sure. [Chuckles]
222
00:14:41,620 --> 00:14:45,791
I have, uh, two muffins,
if you want one.
223
00:14:47,093 --> 00:14:49,040
Thanks.
224
00:14:50,029 --> 00:14:53,415
Do you always eat
breakfast pastries for lunch?
225
00:14:53,499 --> 00:14:56,885
Uh, it's fun to
switch it up sometimes.
226
00:14:56,969 --> 00:15:01,400
Mmm.
Well, I eat a salad every day.
227
00:15:01,707 --> 00:15:03,542
[laughs]
228
00:15:06,946 --> 00:15:09,364
I gotta say. You're, uh...
229
00:15:09,448 --> 00:15:12,267
You're a lot more laid-back
than I imagined you'd be.
230
00:15:12,351 --> 00:15:14,202
- Oh, yeah?
- Yeah.
231
00:15:14,286 --> 00:15:16,405
The partners made it sound
like I was gonna be mentoring
232
00:15:16,489 --> 00:15:17,906
the next Thurgood Marshall.
233
00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:19,124
Oh.
234
00:15:20,860 --> 00:15:25,720
Hardly. Just
the light-skinned lawyer part.
235
00:15:26,866 --> 00:15:29,685
Honestly,
I think my success at Harvard
236
00:15:29,769 --> 00:15:34,423
Has been because I really took
my time before I got there.
237
00:15:34,507 --> 00:15:36,692
Reading too many books
for my own good
238
00:15:36,776 --> 00:15:40,012
and organizing here in Chicago.
239
00:15:40,713 --> 00:15:43,040
Oh. Is that right?
240
00:15:44,016 --> 00:15:47,636
Yeah, uh... South Side, mostly.
241
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:49,838
That's where I grew up.
242
00:15:49,922 --> 00:15:51,940
Yeah,
that's where all my people are.
243
00:15:52,024 --> 00:15:53,425
[Barack] That's...
244
00:15:54,692 --> 00:15:59,347
I envy that.
I'm actually, uh, writing a book
245
00:15:59,432 --> 00:16:01,850
about my search for identity
246
00:16:01,934 --> 00:16:03,685
and not knowing
a lot of my family...
247
00:16:03,769 --> 00:16:07,280
Hold up. You're writing a book?
248
00:16:09,642 --> 00:16:11,860
Yeah.
That probably sounds so, um...
249
00:16:11,944 --> 00:16:13,040
Pretentious?
250
00:16:15,381 --> 00:16:19,385
But, you know, also impressive.
251
00:16:22,180 --> 00:16:25,524
I'll take that as a compliment.
252
00:16:26,926 --> 00:16:29,995
- I mean, okay.
- [laughs]
253
00:16:37,837 --> 00:16:42,257
Hey. So I hope you don't mind if
I duck out a little early today.
254
00:16:42,341 --> 00:16:44,493
Meaning you hope I don't mind
you asking my permission
255
00:16:44,577 --> 00:16:46,261
to duck out a little early?
256
00:16:46,345 --> 00:16:48,296
Yep.
That's exactly what I meant.
257
00:16:48,380 --> 00:16:51,566
[scoffs] Wow. My man's
only been here a few weeks
258
00:16:51,650 --> 00:16:54,002
And already he's slacking off.
259
00:16:54,086 --> 00:16:56,972
I'm sorry. Did you not read
the 30-page memo I wrote
260
00:16:57,056 --> 00:17:00,075
On corporate governance that all
the partners are raving about?
261
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,561
- I'm making you look good.
- Mm-hmm.
262
00:17:07,399 --> 00:17:10,619
Boy. If you don't get those
broke-ass shoes off my couch...
263
00:17:11,484 --> 00:17:13,755
And you might be impressing
all the partners here
264
00:17:13,839 --> 00:17:16,024
who are dazzled by any Black man
with a vocabulary,
265
00:17:16,108 --> 00:17:17,859
but remember,
I'm the one writing
266
00:17:17,943 --> 00:17:21,080
Your end-of-summer review
and I know Negroes like you.
267
00:17:25,618 --> 00:17:29,571
Um, so you know,
the reason I wanna leave early
268
00:17:29,655 --> 00:17:32,507
Is to help out
one of my old organizer friends.
269
00:17:32,591 --> 00:17:35,761
It's actually over by
where you live.
270
00:17:37,129 --> 00:17:38,564
On Euclid, right?
271
00:17:40,432 --> 00:17:41,983
What, are you stalking me?
272
00:17:42,067 --> 00:17:43,819
No. [Chuckles]
273
00:17:43,903 --> 00:17:49,491
I listen closely,
intently, passionately.
274
00:17:49,575 --> 00:17:50,683
[scoffs]
275
00:17:50,816 --> 00:17:53,011
You're so full of shit.
276
00:17:53,096 --> 00:17:54,881
Come out.
We never get to hang out.
277
00:17:55,581 --> 00:18:00,093
Besides, it'll be fun.
And it's for a good cause.
278
00:18:01,086 --> 00:18:02,871
I don't know.
279
00:18:02,955 --> 00:18:05,574
I mean, in fact, after
red-lining all these contracts,
280
00:18:05,658 --> 00:18:08,643
All I want is a glass of Zin
and a foot bath.
281
00:18:08,727 --> 00:18:13,014
I get that. It's just, I've been
cooped up in Cambridge all year.
282
00:18:13,098 --> 00:18:15,984
It'd be nice to connect
with real folks
283
00:18:16,068 --> 00:18:18,320
whose circumstances
could be so much better
284
00:18:18,404 --> 00:18:21,890
if they only knew
how much power they would have
285
00:18:21,974 --> 00:18:23,558
if they lobbied together.
286
00:18:23,642 --> 00:18:26,445
And no one ever wants
to tell them that.
287
00:18:31,784 --> 00:18:35,637
Well, good luck with that,
Half-Black Superman.
288
00:18:35,721 --> 00:18:38,773
Um, I will see you
289
00:18:38,857 --> 00:18:41,894
bright and early
tomorrow morning, 7:45.
290
00:18:43,229 --> 00:18:44,296
Get outta here.
291
00:18:45,864 --> 00:18:47,866
You're the best boss in Chicago.
292
00:18:56,809 --> 00:19:00,562
You can have influence
in this city.
293
00:19:00,646 --> 00:19:02,614
You can make change.
294
00:19:04,350 --> 00:19:07,469
But it means listening
to your neighbor,
295
00:19:07,553 --> 00:19:09,521
trusting your neighbor.
296
00:19:10,522 --> 00:19:13,792
It means joining this coalition.
297
00:19:17,229 --> 00:19:18,229
Hey.
298
00:19:18,664 --> 00:19:20,315
Hi. Sorry.
299
00:19:20,399 --> 00:19:22,301
- Glad you could make it.
- Yeah.
300
00:19:23,035 --> 00:19:24,119
Hello, everyone.
301
00:19:24,203 --> 00:19:25,420
- Hello.
- Hi.
302
00:19:25,504 --> 00:19:26,838
- How are you?
- Who is she?
303
00:19:27,648 --> 00:19:29,794
Uh, it's my boss.
304
00:19:30,099 --> 00:19:31,726
That's what
they're calling it these days?
305
00:19:31,810 --> 00:19:33,724
[all chuckle]
306
00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:37,662
Out of my league
is what they call it.
307
00:19:37,747 --> 00:19:39,551
[all laugh]
308
00:19:41,230 --> 00:19:43,649
[Barack]
I know what you're thinking.
309
00:19:43,756 --> 00:19:46,808
"Who are these
kids coming in here,
310
00:19:46,892 --> 00:19:49,138
Telling us what we want?
311
00:19:49,361 --> 00:19:51,539
With their big old ears.
Forget 'em."
312
00:19:51,624 --> 00:19:52,658
[all laugh]
313
00:19:54,700 --> 00:19:59,814
But trust me,
these kids have heard you.
314
00:19:59,915 --> 00:20:03,124
We know you spend your days
on the phone
315
00:20:03,208 --> 00:20:05,460
fighting with
these big corporations.
316
00:20:05,544 --> 00:20:07,229
Asking them for medical care
317
00:20:07,313 --> 00:20:10,232
that should not be a privilege,
but a right.
318
00:20:10,316 --> 00:20:12,701
You shouldn't have to fight
to be healthy.
319
00:20:12,785 --> 00:20:15,670
And we can change that.
Together.
320
00:20:15,754 --> 00:20:18,873
And not take no for an answer
because...
321
00:20:18,957 --> 00:20:21,343
do we wanna settle
for the world as it is,
322
00:20:21,427 --> 00:20:25,380
Or do we fight for the world
as it should be?
323
00:20:25,464 --> 00:20:27,449
- [attendee] Yeah!
- [all applauding]
324
00:20:27,533 --> 00:20:29,434
(Dramatic music)
325
00:20:50,689 --> 00:20:53,558
- [bell tolling]
- [birds chirping]
326
00:20:55,494 --> 00:20:57,529
[chattering in French]
327
00:21:17,349 --> 00:21:19,040
Ah.
328
00:21:19,651 --> 00:21:21,520
[in French]
329
00:21:23,188 --> 00:21:25,040
Jane.
330
00:21:40,072 --> 00:21:41,773
[Madame Souvestre]
Eloise. Elizabeth.
331
00:21:45,043 --> 00:21:46,795
[in English]
That is Madame Souvestre.
332
00:21:46,879 --> 00:21:50,332
She's the most interesting
person you will ever meet.
333
00:21:50,416 --> 00:21:52,834
I thought we were only
supposed to speak French.
334
00:21:52,918 --> 00:21:56,137
Yes, but you don't
speak French very well.
335
00:21:56,221 --> 00:21:57,706
What makes you say that?
336
00:21:57,790 --> 00:21:59,841
You didn't say anything
that whole time.
337
00:21:59,925 --> 00:22:03,445
So, either you struggle
with French or you're shy.
338
00:22:03,529 --> 00:22:04,830
[in French]
339
00:22:09,234 --> 00:22:11,753
[in English] If Madame Souvestre
thinks we'll be fast friends,
340
00:22:11,837 --> 00:22:15,006
Then so we shall.
She's always right.
341
00:22:17,009 --> 00:22:17,926
Come.
342
00:22:18,010 --> 00:22:20,045
Eleanor in French...
343
00:22:41,667 --> 00:22:43,040
Jane?
344
00:23:11,563 --> 00:23:13,014
[in English] I'm sure beauty
345
00:23:13,098 --> 00:23:14,816
is what gives
your life meaning, Abigail.
346
00:23:14,900 --> 00:23:17,318
But not all of us
have what you have.
347
00:23:17,402 --> 00:23:19,040
[students murmuring]
348
00:23:21,406 --> 00:23:26,694
Abigail is a young woman
with a keen intellect.
349
00:23:26,778 --> 00:23:30,498
- Just like you are, Eleanor.
- Yes.
350
00:23:30,582 --> 00:23:33,201
But I am not beautiful
like Abigail.
351
00:23:33,285 --> 00:23:34,686
According to whom?
352
00:23:35,654 --> 00:23:37,040
My mother.
353
00:23:41,627 --> 00:23:44,529
And was she an expert
on the subject?
354
00:23:48,367 --> 00:23:52,237
She was disappointed and ashamed
to have such a plain child.
355
00:23:54,339 --> 00:23:58,977
It sounds like your mother
may have been the plain one.
356
00:24:01,914 --> 00:24:06,434
Ladies. Can we agree
that the idea of beauty
357
00:24:06,518 --> 00:24:11,539
is far more complex than the way
someone's face is arranged?
358
00:24:11,623 --> 00:24:16,411
The color of her eyes,
her hair, her smile.
359
00:24:16,495 --> 00:24:20,114
These things may make
an initial impression,
360
00:24:20,198 --> 00:24:23,952
but it is when
we cultivate our mind
361
00:24:24,036 --> 00:24:27,372
That our true beauty
is revealed.
362
00:24:28,407 --> 00:24:31,520
The very act of thinking,
questioning,
363
00:24:32,210 --> 00:24:35,463
learning, being curious...
364
00:24:35,547 --> 00:24:40,185
That is where
our true beauty exists.
365
00:24:41,286 --> 00:24:44,189
(Pensive music)
366
00:24:47,292 --> 00:24:50,512
- No, I don't believe it.
- It's true, I swear.
367
00:24:50,596 --> 00:24:53,031
I was sent here because
he was sick with embarrassment.
368
00:24:54,433 --> 00:24:57,318
[Jane] Describe exactly what you
saw when you opened the door.
369
00:24:57,402 --> 00:25:00,622
And say it slowly
so we can all picture it.
370
00:25:00,706 --> 00:25:03,658
Well, I was in my room
and it was quite late.
371
00:25:03,742 --> 00:25:05,460
And I heard Mama
moaning in pain.
372
00:25:05,544 --> 00:25:07,929
I thought she was ill. Or worse.
373
00:25:08,013 --> 00:25:09,014
[giggling]
374
00:25:10,349 --> 00:25:13,280
[whispers] I walked upstairs...
375
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,037
And I listened
right by the door.
376
00:25:16,121 --> 00:25:19,207
She was crying,
and father was making a noise,
377
00:25:19,291 --> 00:25:22,176
- almost like a farm animal.
- [all gasping, laughing]
378
00:25:22,260 --> 00:25:23,845
[Emma]
So, I pried the door open
379
00:25:23,929 --> 00:25:27,148
And I saw them on the bed,
stark naked.
380
00:25:27,232 --> 00:25:29,484
- [Jane] What?
- Father was on top of Mama.
381
00:25:29,568 --> 00:25:32,120
And it seemed like he might
crush her with his weight.
382
00:25:32,204 --> 00:25:35,123
And then he suddenly cried out.
383
00:25:35,207 --> 00:25:37,792
- [moans loudly]
- [all shushing]
384
00:25:37,876 --> 00:25:39,394
[whispers] What?
385
00:25:39,478 --> 00:25:43,680
So I shrieked.
And that's how they saw me.
386
00:25:44,583 --> 00:25:46,935
- That sounds so frightening.
- [Jane] Yes.
387
00:25:47,019 --> 00:25:49,404
But it can't be like that
for every woman, though.
388
00:25:49,488 --> 00:25:51,773
Perhaps Emma's father
is a cruel sort.
389
00:25:51,857 --> 00:25:54,242
Well, I'd like to ask
Madame Souvestre,
390
00:25:54,326 --> 00:25:55,860
to get a definitive answer.
391
00:25:56,828 --> 00:25:59,280
- She wouldn't know.
- Why not?
392
00:25:59,364 --> 00:26:01,700
I'm quite sure
she is a sapphist.
393
00:26:09,041 --> 00:26:10,658
[whispers] What does that mean?
394
00:26:10,742 --> 00:26:13,600
She only has relations
with other women.
395
00:26:14,713 --> 00:26:16,497
[Jane] At least a woman
wouldn't weigh so much.
396
00:26:16,581 --> 00:26:19,040
[all giggling]
397
00:26:26,491 --> 00:26:31,600
Upbeat piano music
playing on speakers...
398
00:26:33,932 --> 00:26:38,353
Graceful. Graceful.
Great. Better, better.
399
00:26:38,437 --> 00:26:41,055
All right. That's beautiful.
400
00:26:41,139 --> 00:26:43,458
Remember, we...
Everyone in the store,
401
00:26:43,542 --> 00:26:46,027
they want to be us.
Or they want to marry us.
402
00:26:46,111 --> 00:26:50,031
Great job. Great job. All right.
Let's do it one more time.
403
00:26:50,115 --> 00:26:51,549
[knocking]
404
00:26:53,185 --> 00:26:55,320
Burning the midnight oil,
Howard?
405
00:26:55,854 --> 00:26:57,689
I still haven't heard
on the buyer job, Betty.
406
00:27:00,425 --> 00:27:02,744
Well, sales the last two months
have been the highest ever.
407
00:27:02,828 --> 00:27:05,179
And they've only been going up
since I started working
408
00:27:05,263 --> 00:27:06,748
- With the girls.
- Betty.
409
00:27:06,832 --> 00:27:08,850
I couldn't have sung
your praises any louder.
410
00:27:08,934 --> 00:27:13,221
I'm sure the job is yours.
I'll let you know when I know.
411
00:27:13,305 --> 00:27:14,339
Okay.
412
00:27:15,607 --> 00:27:16,641
Good night.
413
00:27:20,178 --> 00:27:22,447
[Betty] We both know that
this marriage isn't working.
414
00:27:25,016 --> 00:27:26,901
[Bill chuckles]
415
00:27:26,985 --> 00:27:28,687
A petition for divorce?
416
00:27:29,855 --> 00:27:31,656
And all you have to do is sign.
417
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:38,763
You know I'm not paying you
a red cent.
418
00:27:39,898 --> 00:27:42,350
I wouldn't dream
of asking you to.
419
00:27:42,434 --> 00:27:45,687
Now, who do you think is
gonna want a divorced woman?
420
00:27:45,771 --> 00:27:49,080
You're gonna end up alone.
421
00:27:51,943 --> 00:27:53,795
Well, that's a chance
I'll have to take.
422
00:27:53,879 --> 00:27:56,748
(Dramatic music)
423
00:28:06,224 --> 00:28:10,144
I, uh... I wouldn't have
taken you for a cone guy.
424
00:28:10,228 --> 00:28:13,281
Always. They're better
for the environment.
425
00:28:13,365 --> 00:28:15,650
- And you know what else?
- What?
426
00:28:15,734 --> 00:28:20,538
It's a container you can eat!
How great is that?
427
00:28:22,107 --> 00:28:25,293
You're such a giant geek.
You know that, right?
428
00:28:25,377 --> 00:28:27,345
Yeah, I'm fully aware.
429
00:28:31,383 --> 00:28:35,069
Uh, I'm really glad
you came the other night.
430
00:28:35,153 --> 00:28:37,155
Mmm, me too.
431
00:28:38,156 --> 00:28:40,125
You were great up there.
432
00:28:41,593 --> 00:28:44,929
You really, um...
Believe in all of it?
433
00:28:45,597 --> 00:28:46,765
Politics?
434
00:28:49,301 --> 00:28:52,520
So much in our lives
is political.
435
00:28:52,604 --> 00:28:56,424
Education, health, employment.
436
00:28:56,508 --> 00:28:58,593
This park. Everything.
437
00:28:58,677 --> 00:29:01,229
Is your ice cream political?
438
00:29:01,313 --> 00:29:03,664
Does your
environmentally friendly cone
439
00:29:03,748 --> 00:29:06,968
Make you a liberal
and my cup a conservative?
440
00:29:07,052 --> 00:29:08,836
Hey, you said it.
441
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,322
[scoffs] Oh, fool, please.
442
00:29:13,425 --> 00:29:16,261
I don't know.
Politics is just not for me.
443
00:29:17,095 --> 00:29:19,080
And public speaking?
444
00:29:19,164 --> 00:29:21,682
You know, I flunked
my last exam in high school
445
00:29:21,766 --> 00:29:23,818
so I didn't have to give
the valedictory speech.
446
00:29:23,902 --> 00:29:25,570
- Come on.
- No, seriously.
447
00:29:26,404 --> 00:29:28,406
The performance of it, ah...
448
00:29:32,611 --> 00:29:34,445
So, um...
449
00:29:35,780 --> 00:29:40,251
One of those ladies asked if,
uh, you were my girl.
450
00:29:41,286 --> 00:29:43,221
I'm nobody's girl.
451
00:29:44,289 --> 00:29:45,289
Woman.
452
00:29:46,992 --> 00:29:48,576
You're ridiculous.
453
00:29:48,660 --> 00:29:50,695
You are incandescent.
454
00:29:53,899 --> 00:29:55,233
I want to see you more.
455
00:29:58,737 --> 00:29:59,754
Hmm.
456
00:29:59,838 --> 00:30:01,840
[thunder rumbling]
457
00:30:03,241 --> 00:30:05,510
Oh, look. It's gonna rain.
Don't you love it?
458
00:30:06,077 --> 00:30:07,762
Uh, no.
459
00:30:07,846 --> 00:30:10,431
What, is that what
those Harvard white girls do?
460
00:30:10,515 --> 00:30:12,667
You know, this hair, rain,
it don't mix.
461
00:30:12,751 --> 00:30:14,252
I'm parked right over there.
462
00:30:16,333 --> 00:30:18,252
- Come on. Hurry.
- [Michelle squeals]
463
00:30:18,337 --> 00:30:20,641
[Barack] All right. Hurry.
I got the door. Hold on.
464
00:30:20,725 --> 00:30:23,444
- Oh! Go, go, go, go, go!
- All right. You got it? Get in.
465
00:30:23,528 --> 00:30:25,697
Whoo! [Laughs]
466
00:30:27,265 --> 00:30:29,033
God, I'm soaked.
467
00:30:30,635 --> 00:30:32,286
[sighs] Oh, God.
468
00:30:32,370 --> 00:30:33,938
[both laughing]
469
00:30:38,576 --> 00:30:41,195
I didn't know you were driving
Fred Flintstone's car.
470
00:30:41,279 --> 00:30:43,564
Doesn't that scare
the shit out of you?
471
00:30:43,648 --> 00:30:47,735
Nah, it keeps me grounded.
I can literally see the ground.
472
00:30:47,819 --> 00:30:51,072
Oh, really? What, you give
that line to all the girls?
473
00:30:51,156 --> 00:30:55,009
Yeah, I get so many girls
in this beat-up thing
474
00:30:55,093 --> 00:30:56,944
- that they're just lining up.
- [laughing]
475
00:30:57,028 --> 00:30:58,296
Believe me.
476
00:31:02,801 --> 00:31:07,200
So, uh, what's your end goal?
477
00:31:08,807 --> 00:31:10,725
Making partner?
478
00:31:10,809 --> 00:31:13,327
Uh, opening up
your own practice?
479
00:31:13,411 --> 00:31:15,496
Get a car with a floor?
480
00:31:15,580 --> 00:31:19,667
- [both chuckle]
- Uh, end goal? Um...
481
00:31:19,751 --> 00:31:21,586
Yeah. What kind of...
482
00:31:23,154 --> 00:31:25,189
(Sentimental music)
483
00:31:57,389 --> 00:31:59,023
Well, uh... Whoo.
484
00:32:38,196 --> 00:32:42,183
Yes, hello. Is Mr. Ford
available by any chance?
485
00:32:42,267 --> 00:32:44,518
This is... This is Betty.
486
00:32:44,602 --> 00:32:47,105
[secretary] I'm sorry, ma'am.
He's gone for the day.

Hi, yeah, uh, is Mr. Ford there?
It's Betty Bloomer.

I'm sorry. He's not here.

- Wow!

You couldn't have sung

- Yeah. Mostly.

00:34:43,955 --> 00:34:45,573
Mostly?
522
00:34:45,657 --> 00:34:49,076
Ah... Marty. Yeah,
I'm gonna have to call you back.
523
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:51,112
[sighs] Look.
524
00:34:51,196 --> 00:34:53,314
You're a young woman.
525
00:34:53,398 --> 00:34:56,884
The second I give you this job,
you start having kids.
526
00:34:56,968 --> 00:34:59,920
Taking weekends and months off.
527
00:35:00,004 --> 00:35:02,156
Then we realize we probably
should have hired
528
00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:03,641
someone else in the first place.
529
00:35:06,010 --> 00:35:08,262
Well, I could have done
this job pregnant
530
00:35:08,346 --> 00:35:11,616
since you're doing it sitting
on that fat ass of yours.
531
00:35:12,450 --> 00:35:13,484
[Howard scoffs]
532
00:35:19,224 --> 00:35:21,041
[Betty]
Not only did I make the mistake
533
00:35:21,125 --> 00:35:22,610
of listening to your advice,
534
00:35:22,694 --> 00:35:24,545
I stupidly believed you
535
00:35:24,629 --> 00:35:27,114
when you said you were going
to be there for me.
536
00:35:27,198 --> 00:35:29,967
I'm guessing you only said
those things for one reason.
537
00:35:33,538 --> 00:35:35,222
Well, congratulations.
538
00:35:35,306 --> 00:35:38,259
You're like every other man
out there.
539
00:35:38,343 --> 00:35:43,960
I hope you're pleased
with yourself, Mr. Jerry...
540
00:35:44,849 --> 00:35:47,485
"Thinks he's God's gift" Ford.
541
00:35:52,023 --> 00:35:54,008
- Yes.
- And when the new collections
542
00:35:54,092 --> 00:35:56,877
are gonna start,
then we have to get ready.
543
00:35:56,961 --> 00:35:58,679
[chattering]
544
00:35:58,763 --> 00:36:00,848
[Betty] Okay,
so I think we should get here
545
00:36:00,932 --> 00:36:04,084
at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow,
and then will you lock up?
546
00:36:04,168 --> 00:36:08,040
- All right. Good night, guys.
- Good night, Betty!
547
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:09,640
Betty.
548
00:36:10,875 --> 00:36:13,811
I... I received your letter.
549
00:36:17,415 --> 00:36:19,040
So, I...
550
00:36:19,751 --> 00:36:22,153
I just... I wanted
to tell you how sorry I was.
551
00:36:27,191 --> 00:36:31,440
I tried calling you.
Where were you?
552
00:36:31,763 --> 00:36:34,048
Sometimes with work,
I just get so focused
553
00:36:34,132 --> 00:36:36,350
And days go by, you know?
554
00:36:36,434 --> 00:36:40,638
I... In this case,
it was too many days.
555
00:36:41,939 --> 00:36:43,074
I'm sorry.
556
00:36:44,742 --> 00:36:46,043
Look, I...
557
00:36:47,745 --> 00:36:50,081
Look, I've never met
a woman like you.
558
00:36:52,583 --> 00:36:55,200
Okay? I don't wanna lose you.
559
00:36:55,286 --> 00:36:57,054
Will you give me
another chance, Betty?
560
00:36:58,256 --> 00:36:59,957
Just give me one more shot.
561
00:37:05,730 --> 00:37:07,040
Maybe.
562
00:37:09,133 --> 00:37:10,568
You have to call me.
563
00:37:11,402 --> 00:37:13,040
Yeah, I will.
564
00:37:14,439 --> 00:37:16,374
I'll call you every night
if you let me.
565
00:37:18,276 --> 00:37:19,644
Every afternoon too.
566
00:37:23,247 --> 00:37:24,531
I'm gonna go call you right now.
567
00:37:24,615 --> 00:37:26,884
"Beguin The Beguine" playing...
568
00:37:28,219 --> 00:37:31,040
[phone rings]
569
00:37:33,291 --> 00:37:34,842
[clears throat] Hello.
570
00:37:34,926 --> 00:37:37,680
Yes, hello.
May I please speak with Betty?
571
00:37:40,365 --> 00:37:42,249
That depends. Who's calling?
572
00:37:42,333 --> 00:37:44,302
This is her future husband.
573
00:37:46,671 --> 00:37:48,522
Um, I'm sorry.
574
00:37:48,606 --> 00:37:51,175
Betty is unavailable
at the moment.
575
00:37:58,649 --> 00:38:01,568
So what do you want to do today?
Go to the park or get married?
576
00:38:01,652 --> 00:38:03,220
I'm kinda on the fence.
577
00:38:04,655 --> 00:38:06,090
Definitely the park.
578
00:38:07,024 --> 00:38:08,125
You sure?
579
00:38:10,661 --> 00:38:13,831
Have fun at work.
Talk to you later.
580
00:38:26,177 --> 00:38:28,679
[music continues on radio]
581
00:38:31,883 --> 00:38:33,200
[knocking on door]
582
00:38:33,284 --> 00:38:34,719
- [door opens]
- Hello?
583
00:38:36,487 --> 00:38:38,689
- Betty?
- Jerry?
584
00:38:42,059 --> 00:38:43,194
I'm in here.
585
00:38:46,998 --> 00:38:49,149
Hi. Are those for me?
586
00:38:49,233 --> 00:38:50,267
Maybe.
587
00:38:53,905 --> 00:38:55,573
Could I convince you
to come join me?
588
00:38:57,408 --> 00:39:01,680
I don't know.
Men don't take baths, Betty.
589
00:39:03,481 --> 00:39:04,982
Too bad for men.
590
00:39:12,223 --> 00:39:14,742
- You're not gonna fit.
- Too late. Hey, I'm getting in.
591
00:39:14,826 --> 00:39:16,594
[squealing, laughing]
592
00:39:18,062 --> 00:39:19,163
What a mess!
593
00:39:20,164 --> 00:39:21,866
Hey, you invited me.
594
00:39:28,172 --> 00:39:32,160
So, you know that question
that you've been asking me.
595
00:39:32,443 --> 00:39:34,245
The one about getting married?
596
00:39:37,014 --> 00:39:38,048
Yeah.
597
00:39:41,752 --> 00:39:45,055
I'd love to become
your wife, Jerry Ford.
598
00:39:48,226 --> 00:39:49,493
Yeah?
599
00:39:58,469 --> 00:40:01,280
"Begin the Beguine" playing
600
00:40:15,319 --> 00:40:19,760
[Fraser] Now, honey,
there's no use fussing.
601
00:40:21,626 --> 00:40:23,377
Daddy, this is ridiculous.
602
00:40:23,461 --> 00:40:25,145
We've been here
for over three hours,
603
00:40:25,229 --> 00:40:27,915
and I've seen people get called
in who got here after us.
604
00:40:27,999 --> 00:40:29,716
Welcome to hospitals.
605
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:31,552
[Fraser chuckles weakly]
606
00:40:31,636 --> 00:40:33,304
I'm going to
see what's going on.
607
00:40:36,507 --> 00:40:39,460
Excuse me,
you see my father over there?
608
00:40:39,544 --> 00:40:42,629
He's clearly in a lot of pain
and this is an emergency room.
609
00:40:42,713 --> 00:40:44,565
And I'm wondering why
there's no sense of urgency
610
00:40:44,649 --> 00:40:46,467
in getting him treated
as quickly as possible?
611
00:40:46,551 --> 00:40:48,569
As you can see, a lot of people
are in the same boat.
612
00:40:48,653 --> 00:40:50,404
He'll be seen when his name
is called. Be patient.
613
00:40:50,488 --> 00:40:53,874
Okay, look. I understand
how waiting rooms work.
614
00:40:53,958 --> 00:40:56,443
What I don't get is why folks
who got here after us
615
00:40:56,527 --> 00:40:58,362
are getting seen before him.
616
00:40:59,130 --> 00:41:01,080
Depends on your insurance.
617
00:41:02,300 --> 00:41:03,701
Fucking HMO.
618
00:41:04,835 --> 00:41:08,722
Okay. Okay. Fine.
619
00:41:08,806 --> 00:41:11,592
How much will it cost to get
my dad seen right now?
620
00:41:11,676 --> 00:41:14,127
Give me a number.
I may not look like it to you,
621
00:41:14,211 --> 00:41:16,096
but I actually
make a lot of money.
622
00:41:16,180 --> 00:41:18,332
That's not how it works.
623
00:41:18,416 --> 00:41:20,501
[Fraser] It's all right,
sweetie. I can wait.
624
00:41:20,585 --> 00:41:25,840
[breathing heavily]
Come sit next to your dad.
625
00:41:35,733 --> 00:41:39,069
[sirens wailing in distance]
626
00:41:54,118 --> 00:41:55,152
Hey.
627
00:41:57,622 --> 00:42:02,442
Chicken Parmesan from Spiaggia
for... milady.
628
00:42:02,526 --> 00:42:04,461
Thank you.
629
00:42:07,365 --> 00:42:08,432
What's wrong, baby?
630
00:42:12,703 --> 00:42:14,621
It's my dad.
631
00:42:14,705 --> 00:42:18,292
They, uh, want to keep him
in the hospital longer.
632
00:42:18,376 --> 00:42:21,828
Oh, Mich... Oh, I'm sorry.
633
00:42:21,912 --> 00:42:26,733
[sighs] I just... Ugh, I can't.
634
00:42:26,817 --> 00:42:29,736
Shit. I just didn't
really think anything
635
00:42:29,820 --> 00:42:31,455
Could ever stop
my daddy, you know?
636
00:42:32,423 --> 00:42:35,375
[sighs] I'm sorry.
637
00:42:35,459 --> 00:42:37,428
Yeah, I don't know
what we'll do.
638
00:42:40,364 --> 00:42:42,115
He's a remarkable man,
639
00:42:42,199 --> 00:42:46,770
and he raised a brave,
remarkable daughter.
640
00:42:48,139 --> 00:42:50,307
Well, he doesn't think
you're half bad either.
641
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,531
Yeah, I don't think
I'm really brave enough
642
00:42:57,615 --> 00:43:01,280
To see him like this, you know?
643
00:43:01,552 --> 00:43:03,503
[sighs]
644
00:43:03,587 --> 00:43:07,007
You are the hardest-loving
person I know.
645
00:43:07,091 --> 00:43:09,042
I mean, that's why I, uh...
646
00:43:09,126 --> 00:43:13,240
I know that you're... the one.
647
00:43:19,937 --> 00:43:24,091
You mean... the one?
648
00:43:24,175 --> 00:43:26,526
Yeah, I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to make it about that.
649
00:43:26,610 --> 00:43:27,678
But that's, uh...
650
00:43:29,180 --> 00:43:31,280
That's just how I feel, though.
651
00:43:39,523 --> 00:43:40,557
Me too.
652
00:43:47,264 --> 00:43:50,234
[sirens wailing in distance]
653
00:43:53,204 --> 00:43:56,173
[ventilator whirring]
654
00:44:07,818 --> 00:44:09,353
[hooves clopping]
655
00:44:10,621 --> 00:44:13,960
[butler] The president
shall be with you shortly.
656
00:44:19,530 --> 00:44:21,748
- Uncle Teddy.
- There she is.
657
00:44:21,832 --> 00:44:25,240
Ah. Let me take a look at you.
658
00:44:26,737 --> 00:44:29,923
[chuckles]
Why, you're all grown up, Nel!
659
00:44:30,007 --> 00:44:32,125
[both laughing]
660
00:44:32,209 --> 00:44:33,794
Only you call me that.
661
00:44:33,878 --> 00:44:35,112
Please.
662
00:44:38,182 --> 00:44:39,683
- Thank you.
- Thank you.
663
00:44:43,187 --> 00:44:46,339
I was ordered home
by Grandmother
664
00:44:46,423 --> 00:44:49,409
To attend this inane
coming out party.
665
00:44:49,493 --> 00:44:52,245
- Ah, yes, your debut.
- Yes.
666
00:44:52,329 --> 00:44:55,880
My education was cruelly
cut short for a dance.
667
00:44:57,902 --> 00:44:59,886
I read that you dined
with Booker T. Washington.
668
00:44:59,970 --> 00:45:01,488
Mm-hmm.
669
00:45:01,572 --> 00:45:03,490
What was it like
to have dinner with such a man?
670
00:45:03,574 --> 00:45:05,743
It was just like dining
with anyone else.
671
00:45:06,877 --> 00:45:08,879
- Ah. Thank you.
- [Theodore] Thank you.
672
00:45:10,848 --> 00:45:13,867
So, Nel, what do you plan to do
673
00:45:13,951 --> 00:45:17,504
with this fine partial education
you've received?
674
00:45:17,588 --> 00:45:20,140
Help those who are
less fortunate.
675
00:45:20,224 --> 00:45:21,842
Those who don't have the luxury
676
00:45:21,926 --> 00:45:24,044
Of Allenswood to introduce them
to the world.
677
00:45:24,128 --> 00:45:27,414
Seems this Madame Souvestre
has made quite the impression.
678
00:45:27,498 --> 00:45:30,250
Oh. Yes.
679
00:45:30,334 --> 00:45:33,553
And to answer your question,
680
00:45:33,637 --> 00:45:35,756
what I plan to do is teach,
681
00:45:35,840 --> 00:45:37,824
and what I plan not to do
682
00:45:37,908 --> 00:45:40,227
is participate
in this absurd ritual
683
00:45:40,311 --> 00:45:41,928
of putting on a frilly dress
684
00:45:42,012 --> 00:45:45,332
To try to attract
a suitable husband.
685
00:45:45,416 --> 00:45:49,202
So, you'll become a brilliant,
accomplished spinster.
686
00:45:49,286 --> 00:45:50,704
No children, no family.
687
00:45:50,788 --> 00:45:52,439
Madame Souvestre
doesn't have a husband,
688
00:45:52,523 --> 00:45:54,141
And look what
she has accomplished.
689
00:45:54,225 --> 00:45:55,325
Hmm.
690
00:45:58,796 --> 00:46:02,032
Life is about relationships.
691
00:46:04,301 --> 00:46:06,720
Not just romantic ones,
but all sorts of alliances
692
00:46:06,804 --> 00:46:08,472
that can help us along the way.
693
00:46:10,608 --> 00:46:12,826
You never know who you may meet
694
00:46:12,910 --> 00:46:15,145
at even the dreariest
of functions.
695
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,950
So I say put on the dress
and go.
696
00:46:23,587 --> 00:46:26,023
- Is that your advice?
- Mmm.
697
00:46:31,161 --> 00:46:35,448
At the very least, it'll give
you something to write about.
698
00:46:35,532 --> 00:46:38,836
Your letters show great promise.
699
00:46:42,806 --> 00:46:44,791
[orchestra playing
classical music]
700
00:46:44,875 --> 00:46:46,910
[guests chattering, laughing]
701
00:46:55,252 --> 00:46:57,154
- Luke. Good to see you.
- Oh, hello.
702
00:46:57,821 --> 00:46:58,856
Eleanor.
703
00:46:59,924 --> 00:47:01,040
One second.
704
00:47:02,893 --> 00:47:04,061
Franklin.
705
00:47:05,529 --> 00:47:06,813
Roosevelt.
706
00:47:06,897 --> 00:47:08,532
Ah!
707
00:47:11,902 --> 00:47:13,720
Wait. [Laughs]
708
00:47:13,804 --> 00:47:15,989
You were the terrible cousin
709
00:47:16,073 --> 00:47:18,625
who used to carry me around
when I was little,
710
00:47:18,709 --> 00:47:21,311
and I didn't... I didn't like it.
711
00:47:22,413 --> 00:47:25,315
- Terrible fifth cousin.
- Yes.
712
00:47:26,684 --> 00:47:28,001
You don't like dancing?
713
00:47:28,085 --> 00:47:30,770
Oh, I don't like
mindless rituals
714
00:47:30,854 --> 00:47:32,405
that force a girl to be
at the whims
715
00:47:32,489 --> 00:47:34,207
of young men she barely knows.
716
00:47:34,291 --> 00:47:36,643
Oh, I'm sure you know
more people than you think.
717
00:47:36,727 --> 00:47:40,981
Well, I've been studying abroad
for three years.
718
00:47:41,065 --> 00:47:43,040
I see.
719
00:47:43,467 --> 00:47:45,369
Why did you come, then?
720
00:47:47,371 --> 00:47:49,055
My uncle thought I should.
721
00:47:49,139 --> 00:47:52,910
Your uncle...
Theodore, the president?
722
00:47:53,777 --> 00:47:55,040
Yes.
723
00:47:55,879 --> 00:47:58,331
Hmm. Sorry, I didn't realize
724
00:47:58,415 --> 00:48:01,368
He had time to weigh in
on such matters.
725
00:48:01,452 --> 00:48:04,804
Oh, the president chooses
his time very carefully.
726
00:48:04,888 --> 00:48:07,040
[laughs]
727
00:48:08,892 --> 00:48:10,394
What have you got so far?
728
00:48:11,595 --> 00:48:13,647
Oh.
729
00:48:13,731 --> 00:48:16,683
I don't let anyone read my work
until it's finished.
730
00:48:16,767 --> 00:48:20,153
Hmm. You know,
I dabble a bit myself.
731
00:48:20,237 --> 00:48:22,188
I write for The Harvard Crimson.
732
00:48:22,272 --> 00:48:25,040
Oh! What do you cover?
733
00:48:25,476 --> 00:48:27,160
Whatever they'll print.
734
00:48:27,244 --> 00:48:30,397
In fact, one time,
I covered your uncle Teddy.
735
00:48:30,481 --> 00:48:34,968
I'm told I may even have a shot
at editor next year, so...
736
00:48:35,052 --> 00:48:37,788
Franklin, come on,
the party's upstairs.
737
00:48:40,057 --> 00:48:41,057
So...
738
00:48:42,659 --> 00:48:44,628
[in French]
739
00:48:55,839 --> 00:48:59,009
We both know I'm too plain
for you, Franklin.
740
00:49:01,311 --> 00:49:02,612
On the contrary.
741
00:49:03,947 --> 00:49:07,834
I think it's quite clear
you are the opposite of plain.
742
00:49:07,918 --> 00:49:10,570
In fact, I'm certain you are
the least plain person
743
00:49:10,654 --> 00:49:13,040
At this entire event.
744
00:49:14,291 --> 00:49:17,961
Maybe the least plain person
that I have ever met.
745
00:49:21,665 --> 00:49:23,950
The only worry I have
746
00:49:24,034 --> 00:49:26,770
Is that I may be
too plain for you.
747
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:32,776
So, what do you say?
748
00:49:33,310 --> 00:49:34,644
One dance.
749
00:49:40,284 --> 00:49:41,451
No, thank you.
750
00:49:47,724 --> 00:49:49,040
Okay.
751
00:49:50,861 --> 00:49:53,330
[classical music continues]
752
00:50:20,557 --> 00:50:22,509
[Barack]
I may need a few minutes.
753
00:50:22,593 --> 00:50:24,644
Uh, that mac and cheese
was the truth.
754
00:50:24,728 --> 00:50:29,516
Ah. Well, wait till
you try the pie. Pecan.
755
00:50:29,600 --> 00:50:30,850
My dad's favorite.
756
00:50:30,934 --> 00:50:32,719
He just could not
stay away from it.
757
00:50:32,803 --> 00:50:35,588
[laughs] Might need
you to save me a piece, Mom.
758
00:50:35,672 --> 00:50:38,024
- [Marian] Aw.
- I love you.
759
00:50:38,108 --> 00:50:39,859
- Love you too.
- I'll see y'all later, okay?
760
00:50:39,943 --> 00:50:42,395
Bye, Craig.
Tell Janis I said hello.
761
00:50:42,479 --> 00:50:44,247
- Yeah, will do.
- [Michelle] Mm-hmm.
762
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:51,371
Let me help you with that,
Marian.
763
00:50:51,455 --> 00:50:52,622
[Marian] Oh, thank you.
764
00:50:54,291 --> 00:50:56,643
No, no, no, no.
I'll help your mom.
765
00:50:56,727 --> 00:50:59,813
Give you a chance to, uh,
finish your case prep.
766
00:50:59,897 --> 00:51:02,949
Okay. Look
at this gentleman over here.
767
00:51:03,033 --> 00:51:04,501
[laughs]
768
00:51:16,914 --> 00:51:21,318
Um, we've been talking a lot
about future things.
769
00:51:22,085 --> 00:51:23,987
Oh. Okay.
770
00:51:25,956 --> 00:51:27,457
So, uh...
771
00:51:29,893 --> 00:51:32,529
You think, since
I've made it this long, uh...
772
00:51:35,799 --> 00:51:38,168
You think, uh, she'd marry me?
773
00:51:40,137 --> 00:51:41,505
Young man...
774
00:51:42,873 --> 00:51:45,658
are you asking me for
my daughter's hand in marriage
775
00:51:45,742 --> 00:51:48,328
- Right here and now?
- I suppose I am.
776
00:51:48,412 --> 00:51:51,882
I mean, I thought I'd
at least run it by you.
777
00:51:54,585 --> 00:51:58,922
If Fraser were still here...
778
00:52:00,757 --> 00:52:04,210
he'd know better than to answer
anything on behalf of Michelle,
779
00:52:04,294 --> 00:52:05,962
and I'm no dummy either.
780
00:52:10,801 --> 00:52:13,520
You're gonna have
to ask her yourself.
781
00:52:13,971 --> 00:52:15,238
Okay.
782
00:52:16,974 --> 00:52:19,576
Now? No.
783
00:52:31,255 --> 00:52:32,322
Okay.
784
00:52:33,690 --> 00:52:35,725
(Sentimental music)
785
00:52:41,632 --> 00:52:45,735
[Theodore] Ah, beautiful.
Absolutely beautiful.
786
00:52:49,606 --> 00:52:51,441
Your father would be so proud.
787
00:52:52,376 --> 00:52:55,280
I wish he was here to see this.
788
00:52:57,547 --> 00:52:59,049
My dear Eleanor,
789
00:53:00,117 --> 00:53:02,302
no other success in life,
790
00:53:02,386 --> 00:53:04,771
not the presidency
or anything else,
791
00:53:04,855 --> 00:53:08,675
Compares with the love
between a man and wife.
792
00:53:08,759 --> 00:53:13,479
Now, I believe you and Franklin
love each other unselfishly,
793
00:53:13,563 --> 00:53:17,534
and I know good fortune
will attend you both.
794
00:53:19,369 --> 00:53:20,737
You're a good girl.
795
00:53:27,210 --> 00:53:28,245
Shall we?
796

[guests chattering]
797
00:53:40,424 --> 00:53:43,560
[Peg] You're allowed
to breathe, Betty.
798
00:53:45,829 --> 00:53:47,847
I don't know why I'm so nervous.
799
00:53:47,931 --> 00:53:49,849
[Hortense] Maybe it's because
your future husband
800
00:53:49,933 --> 00:53:52,685
felt the need to work
on the morning of his wedding.
801
00:53:52,769 --> 00:53:56,039
[Peg] Jerry Ford.
He's going places.
802
00:54:04,114 --> 00:54:07,751
He's here.
He's here, he's here, he's here.
803
00:54:14,891 --> 00:54:17,277
Mom, you look beautiful.

00:54:21,498 --> 00:54:22,766
Hey.
806
00:54:26,336 --> 00:54:30,123
Oh, Craig, you're wearing
Dad's old bow tie.
807
00:54:30,207 --> 00:54:32,125
"Use it up, wear it out."
808
00:54:32,209 --> 00:54:33,860
"Make it do, or do without."

Mmm. I'm so proud of you.
