Julie, Julie, Julie!

Oh, honey,
I'm so sorry I'm late,

but I got caught
in this roundy-round thing...

Oh, never mind,
I'm here now and you're here.

Ohhh, I'm so glad
to see you!

Oh, my God, you look
just like your mother.

Aww, honey,
I'm so glad to see you.

- Is that your pond?

- Yes. And we have
all kinds of fish--

bass, bluegills,
and some piggish catfish

who hog all the food.

You like to fish?

- Nah.

- Oh, I have lots of poles.

I'll teach you.
It's very satisfying.

- Whoa, this is my room?

- Yeah.

Used to be Grandpa's
as a boy.

Been using it for storage,
but I fixed it up for you.

- Well, it's beautiful.

- I started most of these
from seed,

and these blue ones
I brought from Malibu.

Want to drive?

Slow down!

Ahh! Ohh! Ahh!

Stop the truck, stop!

Stop! I said stop!

God!

You can drive,
you can drive--

just go slower.

- No, that's okay.
You drive.

- No, you do it.
I want you to. Come on.

- Look, I don't want
to anymore.

- Well, you might
as well learn

since you'll be living here.
Come on.

- I know, darling, but...

I miss her, too.

She was my little girl.

Hmm?

Don't we?

Would you like to sleep
with me tonight? Hmm?

- No, it's okay.

- You want me
to stay with you?

- No. I can sleep now.

- I have to think of things
that she would enjoy

that we can do together.

It's so many years
since Belinda was her age,

I'm out of practice.

- Take her bowling.

- [ laughs ]
Can you see me bowling?

I'll go rolling
down the alley with the ball.

Besides, I know
she wouldn't do it.

Can't you do
something with her?

I mean, take her somewhere,

have a good time,
enjoy her company.

- I wouldn't know what to do.

I never had kids.

- Yeah, well, that's too bad,
isn't it?

How 'bout this?

- Ew.

Goth.

- Goth? Goth...

- Yeah, you know...

- You know,
it's a little creepy

watching you sit there
by the hour

with that sickly white light
shining up in your face.

Eyes riveted
on Satan's toy.

I'm really against
those things

because it steals time
from everything else

and numbs the brain.

- No, it doesn't.

- Do you ever read?

- All the time.
I devour books.

- Oh, you devour books?

Oh, I'm so glad to hear
that because, you know,

I've got plenty of books.

Thousands of them.

Come and see. Come on.

Come on.

- Okay.

- Okay, what?

- Wait,
what did you want to do?

- What do--Dear girl,

I've waited four hours
for you to turn the iPad off,

and now I don't feel
like doing anything together.

I know it's petty
of me at my age,

but it hurts my feelings.

- I'm sorry.

- Let's let it pass, okay?

We have some adjusting to do.

I'd like to send her back
to Pittsburgh today.

You and Terry
can take her to the airport,

and I'll say goodbye
from here.

- Now, come on, Karen,
you're better than that.

- No, I'm not.

I'm not.

If she didn't look
so much like Belinda...

Damn.

- Why is this gloomy
atmosphere necessary?

- What?

- Is it this way at home?

- My home?

- Yes.

Is this unpleasant
atmosphere

a usual thing at home?

- Well,
mostly because of Sybil.

Well, is there any reason

you and I can't coexist
in a friendly manner?

- What am I doing
wrong now?

- Honey...

is there something
I can do to help you?

Huh?

including your shoes,

and put them in this bag.

when I undress.

Bag. Yes, good.
All right.

What's the matter? Here.

What's the matter
with you?

- I've had poison ivy
before,

and it was nothing much.

- Well, you were lucky.

I used to be
wildly susceptible to it,

but I took my own cure,
made myself

a poison ivy sandwich
and ate it.

- You did not.

- Yes, I did.

I had the most awful case
of poison ivy

in the world
for a whole month.

Had it from my head to toe,

even internally, too.

I thought I'd die.

- That was stupid.

- I know it was.

But it worked.

Here, sit on the edge
of the tub

so I can scrub your feet.

Well, don't expect me

to eat any
poison ivy sandwich.

- Of course not.

- What if you'd died
from it?

- Well, then I wouldn't be here
to scrub you, would I?

- And I wouldn't be here.

Something happened to me
at your age,

maybe a year older.

There was a thing called
the All-City High School Chorus.

Thousands of boys and girls

from all five of
the New York City boroughs--

I think 90 or 100 kids
were accepted,

and you had to audition for it.

And...

I did.

I was scared to death.

I--I--and I sang,
I knew I had a pretty voice,

but I--I doubted that
I would actually get in

the high school chorus,
a big thing.

So...

I went down there
to Carnegie Hall,

which was where
they were doing these,

just Carnegie Hall,
this grand place,

and there were hundreds
of kids there.

The auditorium
was filled with them.

And it came my turn,
and I walked up to the piano,

and the head of the thing,
the director,

said, "What are you gonna sing?"
and I said, "Summertime."

And I started to sing.
I was scared to death.

Started to sing,

and I--I sang it
with all my heart.

And I got in.

[ chuckles ] I got in.

Little old skinny old stupid me,
I got in.

And I ran all the way home,
which was about, I don't know,

2 1/2 miles
or something like that

from where we lived uptown.

My father was--he was
sitting in the kitchen

playing chess
with Uncle Gustoff,

his German pal.

And my mother was
doing the dishes.

Well, I could hardly
catch my breath from running.

I kept--and I got--
"I got into the chorus," I said.

"He picked me! You want
to hear that--what I sang?"

And they didn't answer.

They just continued doing
what they were doing, and...

So I started singing.

I started singing it anyways.

♪ Summertime,
and the living is easy ♪

Of course, I can't do it
anymore now, but I sang it,

and as I sang,

my father and Gus
stopped playing chess,

Mama stopped washing dishes,

and one by one
without a word,

they walked past me
and continued walking

all the way
into the front room.

And in silence
I watched them do that.

And something happened to me
right then.

It was a pivotal moment
in my life, Julie.

Whether or not they
or anyone in the world cared,

I sang that song
loud and clear,

right there in the kitchen,

and to the very last note,
I sang that song.

From that moment on,
I decided to believe in myself

and pursue my dreams.

So I say to you,
my darling granddaughter,

if nobody in this world
is there for you,

if you're all on your own,

sing.

Sing loud and clear.
Sing with all your heart,

and your voice will be heard,
my darling.

And years from now when
you're a great singer...

...I hope you'll remember me.

[ gears shift ]

- This is a big mistake,
honey.

You need to let go of
this so- called musical

and come home with me
and Sibyl.

- In case you don't remember,
Daddy,

you and Sibyl wanted
to get rid of me.

- That was a mistake.

- No, marrying Sibyl
was the mistake,

- so why don't you two just
go home and leave me alone?

might shatter her,
