All language subtitles for May Décember (2023)

Yeah, it's quaint.

Oh, it's really hot.

Yeah.

Just a lady talking my hair off the
whole time.

How's your day?

Yeah? Uh -huh.

I'm listening.

You just don't know. I told you what
happened when I met Judge Judy.

That's true.

Oh, these Hollywood types.

Rhonda?

Hey, Joe.

That's who.

Honey, can you take the plates and the
cups out? Here.

All of this. Take those.

And these, too, if you can get them all.

All I ask is that she's polite.

You know, not just sitting there with
her big movie star sunglasses on, like,

too good for everything.

If she's here, I want her to
participate.

I'm sure she will. I mean, look at this
beautiful day.

Hey, hey, hey, where are you going?

Uh, the roof.

Okay, I'm not calling anybody's mother
today to say someone broke their neck

died. We'll be so safe.

Charlie!

Charlie!

Keep an eye on things for me, okay?

Honestly.

I don't think we have enough hot dogs.

I saw a movie she was in, a pretty weird
one, where she gets naked and does,

like, a blood ritual. I couldn't really
follow it.

Where did you see it?

Just on TV.

All right, I looked up Elizabeth Berry
naked.

I think that's you.

Just one little second.

It's such a pleasure to meet you.

You are so sweet. We're so happy to have
you.

Welcome. Thank you.

You look taller on television, but we're
basically the same size. We're

basically the same.

I can't thank you enough for doing this.
It's so generous.

Oh, my gosh. Well, I want you to tell
the story right, don't I?

That's all I want. I want you to feel
seen.

Those are my dogs. That's Zeus and
that's Dutch.

And ignore that. Cool.

It's a work in progress.

Always. Oh, this was on your front step.

Joe!

You're not going to believe this.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

I'll get a garbage bag. I have a thick
sense about these things.

Oh, God, I knew it. What is it? It's a
box of S -H -I -T.

We haven't had one in a while, but it's
just par for the course.

Don't look so shocked.

Do you know who sent it?

Some sicko. Probably wasn't invited to
any barbecues.

You want?

Sure.

Oh, Cecilia, let me help you with that.

Okay, so make yourself at home, look
around, talk to people, do what you have

do, and take yourself a hot dog.

Okay.

Hi.

Oh, hi.

You're Mary, aren't you?

Yeah. You're one of the twins?

Yeah. My brother's around here
somewhere.

Our older sister's at college.

I've never met anyone who's on TV
before.

Well, your parents.

Yeah. But, like, for real.

Do you live in Calabasas?

They're sweet, aren't they?

They're a very beloved part of this
community.

I can see that.

So, what is it you love most about
Gracie?

She always knows what she wants.

She's unapologetic.

My son's been out of the house for a
while now, and it's quiet, but I can

always... call up Gracie and say, what
are we doing today?

And there's always an answer.

It really feels like things just settled
down and now y 'all are making a movie.

It's a very complex and human

story.

Just...

Be kind.

Eyes round, pointy.

Closed when they're open.

Pink lipstick.

Slight pout.

Birth -like, but ideally mechanical

or just removed.

You smell like charcoal.

Smoke.

Excuse me?

We have a gas grill, so you just must be
smelling smoke.

Yeah, well, it's stinking up the sheets.

Do you want me to shower?

What I want is for you to have showered
before you get in.

Still smoky.

Okay.

Okay.

Everything's fine.

Okay.

You start with your green as a base, and
then you choose your focus flower.

Do you like that? Yes.

I don't like this part.

So my brother, Scott, is a rear admiral
in the Navy, and he says that order

is his own reward.

Well, that is so pretty.

Thank you, yeah.

You set a date?

No, we've been so busy. We'll figure it
out down the line when it feels right.

Mm -hmm.

I see.

Beautiful ladies.

Oh, thank you, Lydia. This is Elizabeth.
She's playing me in a movie, so I'm

trying to show her a good time.

That I don't doubt.

Why do you want to play me?

When they sent me the script, I just
thought, now here is a woman

with a lot more to her than I remember
from the tabloids and our

cultural memory.

I don't really think about all that.

You don't ever dwell on the past? I have
my plate pretty full.

I mean, I know that for me, personally,
the past weighs on me.

You know, decisions I've made or
relationships.

So you just sit there and you think
about your history and your behavior.

Sometimes.

Thank you so much for having me here for
dinner in your home. It really means a

lot. Of course.

It's a shame that Mary couldn't join us
tonight, but she's got her friends.

I don't want this.

There you are.

He's got a severe calcium deficiency,
don't you?

She's delicious.

It's an Atherton youth specialty.

Is this quail? No, quail. I brought them
home myself.

You shot and fried the quail yourself?

Mm -hmm.

Gracie owns all the time.

My daddy taught me. I started going with
him and my brothers when I was really

young, like four or five. Amazing.

This is in Virginia?

No, Tennessee.

Tennessee and then Illinois and then
Montana and then Virginia.

Charlie, eat.

I'm really not hungry. I had a late
lunch.

Are your little gushy treats?

How old do you think I am?

I want you to look strong when you go to
college. You need your nutrients.

They're going to think that you skipped
a grade or something.

Can I be excused?

Boys are hard.

So what was it like moving all the time,
having to uproot your life?

It was my life. I was used to it.

I made friends wherever I went, and I
was very close to my brothers.

I think my childhood was exceptional.

I have a lot of questions for both of
you, but please, please tell me if this

not the best time. It's as good a time
as any.

Great.

Thank you.

I wanted to ask you about the box and
the package.

What about it? I mean, is that a routine
occurrence?

I mean, it's a lot less than it used to
be.

Did you ever consider leaving town?

Why should we be the ones to leave?

No, our whole family's here. My dad and
Gracie's kids.

Do you remember when you first met?

I don't really.

I don't know. Let me see.

I met Joe.

Well, I remember knowing of his family.
I mean, they were the only Korean family

in the neighborhood at the time. And my
son, Georgie, was in the same year as

Joe at school. So technically, I would
have met him there, but I don't have any

memory of that.

Right.

Everyone's pretty close -knit here on
the island, and you kind of recognize

everyone. I know there was a point when
he was friendlier with Georgie, but I

didn't really meet him until he came to
the pet store looking for a job. That's

summer after sixth grade?

And then he started working there after
school and on the weekends.

And what's it like with Georgie, your
friendship?

I haven't really talked to Georgie much
since then.

George is very sensitive. He always was
very, very sensitive.

What's your relationship like with him
and your other kids? How is that

relevant?

It's my understanding that the movie
takes place between 1992 and 1994. Am I

wrong?

So why would you need to know anything
that happened after that?

Well, there are things that exist
inside.

People that don't necessarily come to
head until later. And I try and look

for the seeds of those things.

Of course I talk to Georgie.

And to Billy and Cassidy. I'm their mom.
Cassidy was just here last.

What was it? And we'll see everyone at
graduation. The twins are in the same

grade as Cassidy, son Peter, my
grandson. So we'll all be at graduation

together, which you're welcome to come
to if you're still here.

Thank you.

I hope that you are saving some room for
dessert because I did make something

very special.

Right?

See you.

Actually, I wanted to ask, how did you
feel about me coming to visit you for

one of these days?

Fine, yeah.

Great.

That's great. Thank you.

It's no problem.

I just realized we're basically the same
age.

Yeah? Yeah, I'm 36.

Yeah. It's funny.

I'm just now starting to think about
having kids and you're almost sending

yourself to college.

Yeah. I can't imagine.

I think it was almost, I think I didn't
know what a big deal it was in a way

because, you know, but anyway.

Yeah, I'll text you and we can schedule
a time for me to drop by.

Maybe write Gracie about it. She's
better at that stuff.

All right, well, get home safe.

Yeah, you too.

I mean...

It's strange.

Even after everything she did, and how
public it was, she didn't seem to carry

around any shame or guilt.

Yeah, that's probably a personality
disorder.

All right, forget it.

But isn't it kind of radical?

I mean, clean slate every day.

No doubts, no regrets.

Meaning what?

Now you have all these doubts.

No.

Oh, God.

Someone's calling me from the network. I
should probably take this.

Love you.

Hey. Hi.

Tom Atherton. Elizabeth.

Thank you so much for...

for doing that. My pleasure. I got you a
coffee. It's regular drip. I hope

that's okay. Oh, thank you. I appreciate
it so much. I'm sure this isn't your

favorite topic of conversation.

You know, actually, I don't mind. I
think sometimes talking can feel good.

That's great.

So I guess we will just dive in.

Want something to eat?

No, I'm fine with just coffee. Hey,
Carla.

Yeah, that's my dental hygienist.
Anyway, sorry.

So maybe we can start with you telling
me a little bit about what Gracie was

like when you first met.

She was beautiful.

You know, she was.

And we met at a party.

And I was drunk.

Like blotto drunk.

And she took care of me.

We started dating after that.

She was in high school. I was in
college.

She graduated. I graduated.

I proposed, and that was it. A, B, C, D.

You were happy.

Yeah. I felt very happy.

I know later she said that things
weren't working, but I got to tell you,

time, I felt like everything was normal.

I mean, look, a couple of fights
sometimes, but our lives felt good.

Yeah, we had a great family, I thought.

You know, so it was... I was shocked.

Shocked.

And then when I found out with who...
That must have been really hard.

It was just so weird.

It was like, like I didn't even know,
Gracie, like what would make a 36

-year -old woman have an affair with a
seventh grader.

It's me.

How'd you find out?

I found out the way everybody found out
when they got...

busted in that stupid stock room at the
pet store, and she got arrested.

And then here comes the cops, the house.

Tell me what's going on. And I'm like,
what?

I'm so, so sorry.

Yeah. Like, you know what? It's okay.

And I'm happy now.

You know, I don't see them very much,
but her and the boy, you know, they seem

happy. So what do I know?

Isn't that perfect?

Oh, that's really pretty.

I feel like a bride. You look youthful.
Like the first day of spring.

I just feel like everyone else is going
to be wearing more, like, summery

dresses. Who cares about everyone else?
Me. I am saying I don't like it.

Okay, okay, okay.

Just then try on the others.

Okay.

Will they not be wearing robes? Yes,
they'll be wearing robes.

This is for under them.

I heard you spell Tom.

Yes, for coffee.

How was he?

He's handsome. Oh, yes, he's very
handsome.

I could see how being in a relationship
with him, in a marriage, would be

isolating.

Precisely.

Why'd you marry a man like Tom?

I was young, and he was...

Seemed perfect on paper.

It was a different time.

My father used to say, you're either
leaving this house in a veil or in a

box. No.

Isn't that funny?

Oh, so cute.

Oh, it's lovely.

I love it. I love it. I love how it
flows.

to commend you for being so brave and
showing your arms like that that's

something i always wish i could do when
i was your age just not care about these

unrealistic beauty standards you're
different than me you're a modern woman

i'm gonna go try on some of the other
dresses i i really

like this one um i just think it's too
similar to the one molly has okay

whatever you want

So it's not my business who you talk to.
I mean, you can go through the phone

book for all I care, but I just... Just
let me know ahead of time so I don't

have to lie to my neighbors.

Understood.

Yeah.

Brought you something.

If it's helpful.

It's just a loan.

Oh!

Wow, these are great.

That was from our wedding. The insider
did.

It's really helped us with the house.
Gorgeous.

How sweet is that?

Really sweet.

You like it?

I love it. Very end.

How long have you owned this place?

Oh, it was my mother's.

She opened it in 1972.

We had a good run.

Yeah, beautiful. So was she the one that
hired Gracie?

Oh, well, my mother's health was in
decline.

And Gracie had been a really loyal
customer after they opened that Kmart

the corner.

This was with you?

It was after my mother's fall.

1990, October.

At first, she was just watching the
store, and then she took on more and

responsibilities.

Those are the books, orders.

If they're organized, I'll give her that
much.

Were you the one who hired Joe?

Oh, no.

No, no, no.

Gracie asked if she could hire a part
-time helper at minimum wage.

That was...

Summer, 92, and Mother said yes.

We were really surprised, to say the
least, to be a part of what all

This pretty much sums it up.

Oh, wow.

Anyway, I should probably get back to
work. One more thing.

I'd love to see this doll grow.

Just don't touch any of the bait.

Thank you.

Welcome to this old house. As you can
see, work is underway.

In this program, we're going to be
looking at some of the exterior repairs

have to be made, as well as listening to
an energy audit, looking at some

interior demolition, and discussing our
kitchen plans, which we haven't really

made yet. First, let's go up and talk
with Norm Abram, our head carpenter up

here, who's already tackling some of the
problems we looked at earlier.

Rot.

Hi, Norm. Hi, Bob.

I wonder if you could talk with us for
just a minute.

I want to get a closer look at the eaves
up here and see how bad things really

are.

What have you found so far?

Well, basically we found a lot of rot.
Yes.

And that's caused the majority of the
problem.

You've taken the gutter off and you've
taken the fascia board off. Right, the

fascia boards and all these blocks.

And we found that the way the gutter was
installed that it caused a lot of

problems. Joe, where's the dust bowl?
One sec.

Thank you.

Did you ask your father how he's getting
to graduation?

I was going to drop some groceries off
this week.

I'll ask.

What are you going to do with your bug?

I'll figure it out.

Okay. Not in the bedroom again, okay?

Hi, everyone. I'm Tyler Coe. I'm 5 '6".
I'm 13 years old. I was born on April

20th, 2002.

2002? Jesus Christ.

Do you need any help?

That'd be great, Joe. Thank you.

What should I do?

If you want to get the box of pinkies in
the back, I can't even think.

Live mice?

You've been in the freezer, so I don't
think you'll feel anything.

Benny Kim, 5 '13", and I'm with Coast to
Coast.

How'd he do it?

Skateboarding off the roof. Birthday
party.

Any pictures?

No.

Small. Yeah.

It's peaceful in here.

A lot different than a movie set, I
would think.

True.

Backstage during a play, kind of like
this.

Do you act in plays?

Sometimes. I should do it more often.

Got my part in the theater.

I've seen your TV show.

Oh, God.

Very intense.

I've been very lucky to have it, but I
kind of wish no one ever watched it.

Yeah, I saw one where you had to operate
on an elephant.

Oh, God. Now I'm really embarrassed. Now
I'm going to have to jump off the roof

with those boys.

Thank you for having me.

Yeah, you didn't go to home?

Yeah.

I... I already have an idea of what it
must have felt like.

What? What felt like?

I was thinking around with you.

I probably shouldn't have said that.

You won't tell anyone, will you?

No worries.

Well, it's kind of lunchtime now, so...

I must say, you evoke her.

You really do.

Thanks.

What, specifically?

Hey, you just have a loveliness, a
brightness.

Like there isn't an angry bone in your
body.

That's very sweet.

All right, so, when did you meet Grace?

Well, my wife and kids and I had just
moved down from New York.

I'd been doing a lot of very high
-profile cases, defending some pretty

despicable men, as it were.

And Sharon finally had it.

She said, I'm moving down to Savannah.

Feel free to come with.

And it's funny, really, because for all
the rapists, murderers, fraud, hitmen,

never did I end up on the front page of
the New York Times.

But for Gracie, I ended up on the front
page of the New York Times.

Down in Sloan.

Anyway,

I get a call one night after dinner to
go down to the station.

And sitting there in her floral blouse
is Gracie.

And what I said was, I think I know you.

And she said, I'm Gracie Atherton. I'm
your neighbor. I brought you a blueberry

pound cake.

And of course it was.

So I said, what can I help you with?

And that's when she told me.

And what did she say exactly?

She said, I got caught having an affair.

And I said, Gracie, forgive me, but
that's not illegal in this country. And

it were, there'd be a lot of people in
serious trouble.

Then she started to cry.

She said, we're in love.

I didn't mean for it to happen, but we
fell in love.

So she was in denial, you would say?

Oh, absolutely.

She didn't think she'd done anything
wrong.

She was head over heels.

She was a good -looking kid.

But she had no conception. I mean,
prison?

She thought she could just explain it
all to the judge and that would be that.

It was a little Romeo and Juliet.

A little bit starry -eyed.

When did it sink in?

Has it sunk in yet?

Have you

met Georgie yet?

That's Georgie?

Yeah, I'd hope things would work out
better for him.

He was a very sweet boy, very sensitive.

Well, hey, look what the cat dragged in.

How you doing, George?

Hey. This is Elizabeth Berry. Oh, I know
this.

I know perfectly well.

The actress.

The son.

How much are they paying you for this?
Is it a lot?

Are they paying her?

No. It's an independent movie.

Oh. We don't mean to interrupt your
show.

Georgie, why don't you look me in the
eye and tell me how selfish

I am.

And I'll tell you if it's a match.

Let's get the check.

I'm glad this happened. I really wanted
to meet you.

Oh, really? Yeah.

What have you heard?

I've heard you're really creative.

And sensitive and sweet.

Well, they would say that.

Well, what are you then?

I'm a phoenix rising from the ashes.

I'm just a ghost.

Because what happened?

Well, it ruined my life, of course.

And do you remember the first time you
found out?

Yes.

Yeah. Billy sat me down in my room and
told me.

And I just thought he was trying to make
me upset. So I went and found my dad,

and he said it was true.

And he had planned to sit down so hard
in his desk that he had split his hand

open. He was bleeding everywhere.

And all this happened, like, right
before my birthday.

So everyone forgot to cancel my party,
but only one guy showed up anyway, and

just hung out in my room, and I ate so
many Warheads that I threw up, and

we just watched TV until someone was
almost up, and I gave him my handjob,

then he never spoke to me again.

Johnny,

you can't fucking sing this.

Oh, my God. I got to go. All right.

Really nice to meet you.

Yeah, you too.

You can

see the situation is not without its
casualties.

From what I've seen, she seems to be
pretty well -liked in the neighborhood,

she's busy with her baking.

You might want to check the names on
those orders.

It's a handful that keep repeating over
and over. My wife's one of them.

So people are just ordering things to
keep her busy?

It's a kindness.

But how many pineapple upside -down
cakes can a family eat?

He wanted to know how you plan on
getting to the graduation.

I'll drive myself.

It's close.

I can't believe the kids are going to be
at college in the fall.

99 You have more time to focus on other
things

We're glad you're here. Okay, settle.

Cameron, this is the first time in my
experience, I've worked here 20 years,

that a Juilliard -educated actor has sat
in this theater.

Cameron, quit it.

It's an incredible opportunity, so let's
ask some great questions. Shall we?

Yes.

Have you acted in sex scenes?

You are saying like... Yes, I have.

You don't have to answer that. No, it's
fun. I have.

And it's a strange part of acting.

Like what?

Hmm. Well, sometimes it's really
mechanical, like a choreographed dance.

The only thing you can focus on is where
you're supposed to be and when.

And then...

Sometimes there's real chemistry between
two people and you start feeling

like it's real.

In a strange way. You never admit it to
one another, but you're wearing

practically nothing and you're rubbing
up against each other and sweating for

hours. And you start losing the line of
like...

Am I pretending that I'm experiencing
pleasure or am I pretending that I'm not

experiencing pleasure?

And the whole crew, they're almost
always all men.

You feel them watching and you feel them
like holding their breath.

And they try and hide it when they
swallow.

And you give in to the rhythm, you know,
every time.

Tension never breaks.

Kimmy. Yeah.

How do you choose your roles?

Well,

when I'm lucky enough to choose my
roles, I... I want to find...

a character that's...

that's difficult to, on the surface,
understand.

And I want to take the person, I want to
figure out why are they like this. Were

they born or were they made?

And that can run the gamut from the more
notorious to anyone.

Why would you want to play someone who
you think is a bad person?

Are you kidding? I mean, pick any great
role.

Medea or Hedda Gobbler.

Tony Soprano.

Precisely.

Cameron.

It's the complexity. It's the moral gray
areas that are interesting.

I'm so sorry you're not feeling well.

This is silly.

This is actually very serious.

okay um so this is um this is the
foundation that i use um i

have i have some on now so i'm not gonna
i'm not gonna put on any more can i uh

thank you um and is

the blush that i like and i use a um use
a sponge to put it on and

Here's my favorite color like that

You

know,

I think that it would be better if I
just did this to you

Bet you're used to this.

So did you always want to be an actress?

Always.

I wanted to be on Broadway.

And when I told my parents at 9 or 10,
they were so disappointed.

They said, honey, there's no one smarter
than that.

What did you say?

Are you smarter than that?

I don't know.

I don't know.

What do your parents do?

They're academic.

My mother wrote a pretty redacted book
on... My

mother

wrote a great recipe for blueberry cup.

What was her mother like?

She was beautiful.

How's that look?

Pretty good.

Knock, knock.

Greedy, I was hoping you could clear
your bugs out of the living room. I want

get the house ready before Anna gets
home.

And could you pick up Hague out for
dinner tonight?

I'm swamped.

Sure.

I can help.

Okay.

Oh, I love them.

They're hungry this year.

How long have you been doing this?

A few years.

I read this article about how the
monarch population is dwindling, and

mentioned that people help raise them.

I'm not the only one who does this.

Gracie makes it seem that way, but...
How do you do it?

You just keep your eyes open, look for
the eggs, take them inside, protect them

so they have a chance to grow.

We've had an actual impact. The numbers
are way up, and I'm a part of this

Facebook group.

Anyway, I know it sounds really quirky.

Not at all.

My friend, Michaela, who's in the group,
she lives in Durham.

People put milkweed in the cages for
them to attach to, but she also puts

sticks in for them to climb because some
of them attach to the top part of the

mesh when they form the chrysalis and
hang upside down.

It's fascinating.

So we have to grab these from the
bottom.

Be very careful because of the crystal
this is

There's

a

beautiful place to live yeah, it's been
really nice, okay

So it's hard to tell with you actually
think about all this.

Well, I think you have a very nice
family

and both interesting people.

Okay.

I don't know. What do you think?

I think it's hard to trust them, you
know?

You're going to represent things as they
were?

I'm going to try.

I don't know. It's hard to feel.

People, they like see me as like a
victim or something.

I mean, we've been together for almost
24 years now. Like, why would we do that

if we weren't happy?

Right.

I was different than the other kids, the
people around me.

And girls were never... But she was
so...

She saw me.

Yeah.

I wanted her.

What did your parents say?

We never really talked about it.

My dad was always so focused on his
work.

My mom passed away when I was 20, so we
never got to really look back on it.

Oh, I'm sorry.

No, it's... It's hard to imagine what
that conversation would

have been, honestly.

Oh, you were so young.

Have so many eyes on you.

What happened?

Joyce and Mercer called and canceled her
order and all future orders.

I'm sorry.

And I told her that I'd already made it,
and she said that she would pay for it,

but that she didn't need it. They were
leaving town.

Where are they going?

Her sister is sick or something. It
doesn't matter.

I wasted hours that I could have used.

You couldn't have known, Gracie.

I hate things like that.

And now I have this cake that's going to
go right in the garbage.

You won't have to throw it in the
garbage.

Oh, Elizabeth.

She's getting on my last nerve.

Why?

She's just everywhere I look.

For what?

For the movie.

So people can see it and understand
more.

And maybe it's easier for you.

For me?

I don't know.

It should be gone soon.

So good.

I'm telling you, it's going great. It's
really, really helpful.

I'm very happy to hear this. I think
it's very good.

What about that cuddle on the ass?
Because you're over the number of days

we budgeted for. Well, I guess that
means that the crew wrap sweatshirts

just become crew wrap mugs.

Look, I know you trust me. Of course I
do. And I feel like I'm getting really

close to something true.

Something honest.

Thank you.

Oh, he's serious.

How's your wife?

What?

Good. Did you watch the tape? I did.

Look, I know I'm sure they've seen lots
of people, but has it just been L .A.?

Because the kids are cute, but not,
like, sexy enough.

You've seen him. I mean, he's got this,
like, quiet confidence.

Even if it's a kid, I'm sure.

I think you need to come home.

Oh my gosh, you're like as tall as me
now. What the heck?

I missed you.

How's the roommate?

Uh, it's all good. We got over it. Good.

I knew you would.

How's mom?

Great. Busy.

How's the actress?

What's so funny?

Joey?

Are

you

in there?

They don't look there to me.

Bye.

Hey.

It's okay.

You can come out.

How's it going?

Good.

Are you excited about tomorrow?

Sure.

I can't believe you and your sister are
leaving.

Yeah, I'd try to picture what it'll be
like, but I can't.

Yeah.

Are you nervous?

About what?

College.

Leaving home?

Can't wait to leave home.

That's good.

Yeah, I think that's good.

So, are you going to be out here a
while?

Should I not be?

I was just going to... You

should. Yeah, you should go ahead.

You sure?

Yeah.

You want?

Thanks.

I've never... I've never done that.

What?

That's crazy.

You definitely don't have to.

You don't know.

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Don't you look nice.

Thank you.

You're early.

Am I?

You ready to bake?

This is my brother Bill's favorite cake.

Oh, is this for him? No, he's in
Minneapolis.

He works for the Twins.

Which Twins?

It's a professional baseball team.

Ah, of course.

He was captain of the baseball team in
high school, and then he played college

ball, and now he's a professional
pitching coach.

I'm going to spread it around from the
bottom like this.

He was always so protective of me
growing up, even though he was younger.

Whenever boys would get near me, he'd
throw them up against the locker and

What are your intentions?

What were their intentions?

Okay, now you are going to put the
cherries.

at the bottom of the pan and do it

nicely because it really doesn't matter
how it looks.

You know, Joe's been with more women
than I have men.

Is that right?

Nobody seems to remember that.

I'd only been with Tom, but Joe's been
with two girls before me.

When he was in the seventh grade?

He led a very different life than me.

His father was always working, so he was
the man of the house, and he took care

of his little sister pretty much on his
own.

One of them had terrible asthma.

He grew up very quickly.

I was very sheltered.

I want to show you something.

Joe gave this to me back then.

I think it's lovely.

Peace is sitting on a lake in the
summertime.

Peace is a Coca -Cola on a hot summer
day.

Peace is being with you.

The assignment was, what is peace?

Please stop. It's so weird.

I really am.

Are you boys up there?

Yeah.

Garibaldi said they can take us at 7.
How does that sound?

That sounds great.

Thanks, Mom.

Yo! Yo!

Are you all right?

I was just thinking, what is...

i had honey i can't hear you i can't
hear what you're saying x -ray yeah

everything's everything's fine we'll
meet you down there in a second hey

this wasn't the best idea i feel like
everything's so fucked up it's not it's

all right i just want you to have a good
life i will

Bad things, they happen.

And we do bad things also.

And we have to think about those things.

We try not to think about it. There's
this.

Do you know what I mean?

Yeah, I know that.

God, I can't tell if we're connecting,
if I'm creating a bad memory for you in

real time, but I can't help it. We're
connecting, Dad. It's okay.

Don't worry about me.

That's all I do.

I'm so glad that Honor was able to
finish her finals in time to come home

watch our beautiful Mary and our gentle
Charlie walk across that stage tomorrow.

I couldn't be prouder of both of you.

And to Joe, the man of my life,

Here's to entering this next phase
together.

And as our little ones fly away from the
nest, they know they can always come

home.

Cheers.

You forgot someone.

Elizabeth, we are so happy that you
could be with us at this very special

Thank you.

Cheers.

It's delicious.

Honor,

when we get home, I'll show you what
your dad and I got your sister for

graduation.

Is it a scale?

Excuse me?

When I graduated, you got me a scale.

That was just part of setting you up at
your new place. You know perfectly well

that wasn't your graduation present.

I came wrapped in a bow.

We got her a necklace with her birth
certificate. in it, just like we got

sister. But I see you're not wearing
yours.

So when do you start shooting this
movie?

In about three weeks.

I wish you weren't doing that.

Oh, no.

I can understand that, of course.

I hope in the end that you'll feel it
had something to say and...

that we captured something true.

True like how it isn't awkward at all to
hear at this graduation dinner right

now? Joe, can you do something? Like
what?

Um,

Honor, I got you that scale, as I told
you at the time, as a tradition, because

that's what my mother got me when I
graduated from high school. You try

through life without a scale and see how
that goes.

Mom.

Hi.

Cassidy, hi.

Hi, Mom. Hi, Grandma.

Oh, hello.

Oh, hi, sweetheart.

Oh, you look so pretty.

Oh, my goodness.

Peter, congratulations.

Billy, Tyler, Georgie, hi.

Everyone's celebrating, of course. Yeah,
it's just the best.

Very nice to see you again.

Yes, you as well.

Tom.

Okay, I think we'll head over to our
table. Yeah, we're in the back.

With the old family.

Georgie. Yeah. See you at graduation.

All right. Bye.

I'm a really big fan of Nora's arc.

Oh, thank you. That means the world.

My brother Mark, he still lives in
Richmond.

He always says, keep your expectations
low and you'll never be disappointed.

And I always forget that.

How many brothers do you have?

Four.

Two older, two younger.

But I think you know that.

So...

What were your expectations?

That tonight would go well.

That my children would love me.

And my life would be perfect.

That was a little naive.

I am naive.

I always have been.

In a way, it's been a gift.

Is it all right if Joe drops us off
first?

I think the girls need a minute.

I can just walk from here.

He'll drive.

Hey, can I borrow that cigarette? Yeah.

Here you go.

Now, Alice Rydell hung from this tree...
Yeah, they said they were in the back.

...three days.

Good evening.

Has she broken your spirit yet?

No, just tired.

Would you crack the case?

Do you mind blowing your smoke in the
other direction, please?

Thank you.

You want to know my theory?

Sure.

Childhood trauma.

Which one?

The big one.

What do you mean?

Her older brother.

Yeah.

Started when she was 12.

On and off.

Still mentioning it to her, obviously.

She doesn't talk about it.

I read it in her diary, but it's just
like way before.

Why does she still talk to them?

Lady, she's messed up in the head.
That's what I'm trying to tell you.

Oh, God.

Listen, actually, I had an idea.

I was looking up how you all make
movies. Mm -hmm.

And I read about this job of music
supervisor.

Yeah? I could do this job.

Pick out songs from movies? I'd pick
great songs.

What are you asking?

So what if, in exchange for my memories,
my consultation, my willingness not

to go to the press when the movie comes
out and talk disparagingly about it, and

you and her, you give me the position of
music supervisor on this movie?

Um...

We can do that. Yeah.

And I think I've outstayed my welcome
here.

My sister had really bad asthma.

Did she?

Yeah, she was always having to do that
breathing machine thing.

Yeah, nebulizer.

Right.

I actually...

I have one with me here, a new one, and
I can't figure out how to get the, you

know, the mouthpiece thing to snap on.

It's so stupid.

I'd really like to use it.

That's irritating.

You just sort of have to get the top
and... Could you... Do you have a

I haven't changed this machine since the
80s.

Thank you.

You saved my life.

Sure.

I'm going to take you to something.

I'll be home when I get saved.

Oh, man.

into one.

That was crazy.

Yeah.

Have you ever done that before?

Right. Of course.

What about you?

No. I mean, I've had crushes on people.

I think that's allowed.

I don't know.

Any of it.

It would kill her.

She's very loyal.

With me.

Listen.

Whatever happens, she's going to be
okay.

People like Gracie. No, she won't.

No. You really don't know her.

Okay.

Let me tell you something.

Your responsibility, ultimately, is to
yourself.

Grace, it wasn't this.

I think it's a little more complicated
than that.

You're going to do what you're going to
do, but stories like these... Stories?

Stories? You know what I mean.

Instances of severely traumatic
beginnings. This isn't a story! This is

fucking life!

You don't need to get so worked up about
it.

I thought you actually liked me and that
we

had a connection.

I like you.

Then what was this about?

This is just what grown -ups do.

You're lucky I'm not jumpy.

I'm sorry.

Why are you sitting there?

I've just been thinking.

Okay.

I

think

there are... There are a lot of things
that we haven't talked about in a long

time.

Maybe ever.

What kind of things?

Things about our relationship.

Well, I'm not going to cross -examine
you. Say what you want to say.

What brought this on?

What's the matter?

Is it the actress?

Maybe. I don't know. I don't see what
difference it makes. It's how I'm

Come visit by me.

Okay?

What's making you feel bad?

I don't feel bad.

I'm just trying to say...

What if I wasn't

ready to be making those kinds of
decisions?

Then what?

What would that mean?

I don't understand what you're saying.

I'm saying, what if I was too young?

You seduced me.

But I was 13 years old. Don't give me
that.

But I was. I don't care how old you
were.

Who was in charge?

What? Who was the boss?

Who was in charge?

Who was in charge?

I'm just trying to talk about something.
I think this movie is dripping up all

this stuff, driving Elizabeth around.
It's not about the fucking movie. I'm

sympathetic, but you're starting to
upset me. No, you have not been

Why can't we talk about it?

If we're really as in love as we say we
are, if we have that, where... Shouldn't

I be able to talk about this with you?
If we're really as in love as we say we

are... Marcy, you know what I mean. I'm
begging you, please. No, if we're really

as in love as we say we are... I need
you to help me, please. If we're really

in love as we say... It's graduation.

After you left tonight, I thought about
the kind of life that we could have if

things were different.

If I'd been born later, you long ago.

But who knows what we would have been
like then.

Or where.

What tragedies we'd have to face along
the way.

What bad luck.

This is not what I ever would have
wanted.

I'm so grateful that our paths led us to
this road.

No matter what the cost.

I think about you all the time.

The feeling I get when we look each
other in the eyes.

I know you don't have much to compare it
to, but let me assure you,

it is rare.

I've gone my whole life without it.

And now that I've found it, I can't
imagine going back and pretending.

Sometimes I wish we'd never met or
that...

You didn't get the job in the pet shop,
at least, because I know that our lives

will be forever changed because of this,
no matter how it all turns out.

I know that my husband and my
children... I...

I know that...

this will affect them.

My hope is that we can...

our secrets long enough until at least
we're in no danger from the law.

Maybe by then I'll have enough time to
end things cleanly and to make sure the

children know that I love them.

Maybe by then we'll have figured out
what to say.

When this first started,

I knew that we crossed a line and I felt
in my heart that we would cross it

again.

But now I think I've lost track of where
the line

is.

Who even draws these lines?

All I know is that I love you and you
love me.

And you gave me so much pleasure
tonight.

I hope I did the same for you.

I'll see you Saturday.

And please burn this. You know what
could happen to me if anyone ever found

You look so great.

Thanks.

Are you hungry?

No.

Maybe coffee?

Coffee.

Happy graduation.

Look at you.

Mom's gonna hate it.

No, she's gonna love it. Oh, she's gonna
love this.

Did she pick this one up?

She did.

Yeah,

it is.

What time is it?

We should leave in 20, 25 minutes.

I'll go up and get changed.

Um, where's mom?

I don't know, honestly.

Maybe she had a beauty parlor
appointment.

My dad said we could do it. My dad said
we could do it. Yeah!

All right.

That's it.

I'll park and find your mom.

What do you want to do?

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey! Hey! Oh, you ready?

Let's do it.

And to my fellow graduates of the class
of 15, go Sharks!

While it hasn't always been since
sailing, I know that our futures are

And with that, I present to you the 2015
graduating class of Wilson -Healy High

School.

Christopher Moore Cowley John Anderson

Maureen Jane McConner

Congratulations to the class of 2015.

Go Sharks!

That was beautiful, wasn't it?

It was.

Well, heading to the airport now.

It's probably for the best.

I wonder if any of this will have really
mattered for your movie.

I think it will.

You understand me?

I do.

I hope you didn't think that disgusting
brother thing was real.

What?

Disgusting.

I don't know what he's doing telling you
these things.

He told you?

I talk to Georgie every day.

Insecure people are very dangerous,
aren't they?

I'm secure.

Make sure you put that in there.
